We deem it ery yreat pleasure that we can now present to the readers of this issue the name of one who stands as one of the foremost educators of his time ; one, who as professor of Greek, French, and History, has won for himself the respect of all loyal students of Susquehanna. Professor Allison is the son of Samuel M. and Anna Allison, and was born near Gettysburg, Fa., July 24, 1873. Here amid the invigorating scenes of rural life, which served as a vantage ground of significant import and in- estimable alue, he developed into pure and sturdy manhood, spending much of his time in study upon his father ' s farm. These splendid environ- ments were possible foretokens of his noble achie ements in the arena of his future life. Having begun his career in education in the public schools of his native community, he was early enrolled as a student in the preparatory depart- ment of Pennsylvania College, at Gettysburg, Pa. After completing the course in this department he was admitted to college and four years later was graduated with honors with the class of ' 94. During his college course his ability as a Greek and Latin student and also as a mathematician elicited the attention and admiration of his teachers and classmates. He received honor- able mention in the b ' reshman prize, and also first honorable mention in the Junior Latin prize. A short time after his graduation from college he was chosen professor of Mathematics in Palatinate college, at Myerstown, Pa., which position he filled with great credit to himself and to the entire satisfaction of the faculty and students of that institution. But in 1896 he accepted the call to Susque- hanna LIniversitv, having been highly recommended by those who knew him. Since that time he has efficiently tilled the chair of Greek and History, prov- ini; himself a man of no mean ability. His successful career as a teacher in this institution, his thorough equipment in all the branches that have been en- trusted to him, his natural procli ' ities towards tliis art, are sufficient to prove that in his choice of teaching; as a profession, he chose most wisely. He is a man of sterling character and pure and upright life. He is a member of the b ' Aangelical Lutheran church and is unswerving in his de ' o- tion to truth and uprightness In matters pertaining to the interests of the school and all those concerned he is a man of good, practical, judgment. As secretary of the facult ' he commands the esteem and the confidence of all his colleagues in that body. Judging from past successes and fa -orable omens we ma ' safeU ' predict greater achie ements and a brighter future for this faithful instructor and popular jirofessor of Susquehanna University.

Though comparatively young, Susquehanna has had a remarkable de elopment. We note with pleasure that this development has eclipsed the expectations of her most ardent supporters. She sprung from what was formerly known as Missionary Institute, which was founded in 1858, — her growth not having been sudden, but gradual. Until the year 1894, what is now known as Susquehanna Uni ersity, comprised but one building, — that of Selin ' s Grove Hall, the money for which was provided by the generous and whole hearted people of Selin ' s Grove. In that year, in order to meet the demands for larger and better accommodations, the commodious building known as Gustavus Adolphus Hall was erected. It was also during that year that the Junior and Senior vears of a college course were added, with conferring of degrees, and it was then that the institution received the more appropriate name of Susquehanna Uni ersitv. In 1897, three years later, another pressing need was supplied, and ever since that time the students have been enjoying the advantages of a chemical and physical laboratory, fairly well adapted in all its appointments to the requirements. The work of both Theological and Collegiate depart- ments was continued with increasing success until 1899, when Dr. Dimm re- signed the Presidencv, remaining ho e er, to continue his work as a Pro- fessor. Rev. C. W. Heisler, D. D., of Denver, Col., was chosen to succeed Dr. Dimm, and it was under his jurisdiction that the departments of Music and Elocution were established, while arious changes and additions were made to the other courses of study. In 1901, Dr. Heisler, who had proved himself a very able man, resigned, and Dr. Woodruff was elected dean, assuming the duties of president of the Collegiate Department, while the Rev. Jacob Yutzy, D. D., acted as dean of the Theological Department. The beautiful Ladies ' Dormitory, known as Seibert Memorial Hall, was erected and dedicated during this period, while the Commercial Course, along with se ' eral other noteworthy changes, was added. 12 The toUowina; year Rev. Geo. W. Enders, D. D., of York, Pa., was elected president, and it was during this period that the Alumni Gymnasium was added to our group of buildings. This gymnasium we believe to be the finest of its kind in the state. It fills a vacancy, which, up to this time, was sorely needed, and it is now that the begrimed athletes can take full advan- tage of the refreshing showers after exerting themselves with the various ap- paratus, or after having applied their physical strength on the athletic field. Dr. Enders, however, remained president of the institution only a few years, when, because of other duties, he resigned in favor of Dr. John B. Focht, D. D., of Selin ' s Grove. He remained in oflice but one year, when upon his resignation Rev. Chas. T. Aikens, A. M., was elected and continues in the office to the present time. Under the supervision and direction of President Aikens, Susquehanna has progressed admirably. In spite of the many disparaging and discourag- ing words received from different quarters concerning the financial depres- sion of the school, Susquehanna has made many improvements and her finan- cial condition is better than it was several years ago. Besides two more buildings have been added in as many years — a Laundry and a well-equipped Steam plant. Then, again, our buildings are now lighted by electricity, so that in many ways Susquehanna University resembles a perfect Paradise. But there i s yet much to be attained ; there are the many needs of a growing institution ; there are many things which time alone can accomplish ; yet with what has been accomplished heretofore, and w ith w hat is being accomplished at present ; with loyalty on the part of the students and friends of the institu- tion ; with the fond anticipation of a new Recitation Hall and also a new Music Hall in the near future ; and with numerous other hopes and expec- tations we bespeak for Susquehanna far greater success and far wider accom- plishments in the field of usefulness over which her influence is destined to extend in years to come. 13 College Directory President ' s Oi-fk k Hot-rs : 9.0(1 to I ' i.OO A.

Senior Class History At last the beautiful star of destiny, which has guided the class of 1907 through the jovs and sorrow s of the past four years, has risen to its zenith and siiines w ith illuminating brilliancy, gi ' ing an added luster to our Alma Mater. The class of 1907 has privileges of retrospection, and for the fourth and last time makes its appearance in The Lanthorn, and then we bid farewell to Susquehanna and college life. just as mother nature was changing her soft green robe of summer for the warmer one of dull brow n and bright red, the fall term of school opened and there appeared within S. U. ' s Halls of learning ten Freshmen. It was a small class but the sterling qualities of each one soon gave this class a posi- tion to be envied bv all classes, even though their number was twice that of 1907. Our first great ictory was our Class Banquet, for ail the experience of our elder opponents was not sufficient to keep us in Selin ' s Grove that night, and even after capturing one of our number were unable to keep him from the greatest joy of a Freshie, The Banquet. As Sophomores again we were ictorious, and the pretty though pale pennant was shot from its eminence on a fish pole 23 Then with colors riyiny we repaired to Park Hotel, Willianisport, Pa., to celebrate by having our second annual banquet. During our Junior year we published the college annual, and no Lan- thorn is superior to that published by the class of 1907, although by far the smallest class ever to undertake that task. It was a task of love for our Alma Mater and Class Honor. The Class of 1907 has alw avs been noted not only for our brilliant suc- cesses along the line of scholastic duties, but also for the jolly times. Our class meetings were more like informal social affairs than business meetings and until the winter term of our junior year had always been held at the homes of the ladies of the class. Again our Botanical, Zoological and Geo- logical tramps were e ents always to be remembered, nor are the frequent after-class lunches at the cafe, pleasures e ' er to be forgotten. Of the many different indi iduals who were at sometime members of the class of 1907, only four returned at the beginning of our Senior year, but with them came three new men who will be graduated with the class of 1907. 1907 has always been foremost in Athletics. We have had the star foot-ball, basket-ball and base-ball men in our class, also the winners of se ' - eral prizes for track work, while all the lady Basket Ball Captains, for the past four years, have been elected from our midst. True, we ha e done bra el the work assigned us and ha ' e no reason for remorse, but may look only on duties faithfully performed. As we stand on this eminence, builded by four years of toil, we are torn by conflicting emotions — joy that our labor is over, that the goal we have striven for, through four long years, is about to be reached, and sorrow that the reaching of that goal means the separation of tht)se we ha e learned to love. But in the great rush and struggle of life ' s work let us ne er forget the chosen motto of 1907, the motto under which we have striven for four glori- ous years. Semper Esse Optimion, and may we li e up to the standard in the future as we have in the past and so bring honor and fame to our Alma Mater. Historian. ■i ' 07 Prophecy I sat in my little stuily one long winter evening thinking, — yes thinking, ulthongh not often is it possible to convict a prophet of so serious an ofll ' nse. But leaning back in niv chair I gave myself up entirely to the spirits wise and the spirits otherwise wliich were floating about me in my little room. Tlie longer I watcheil them, as they flourished their triprongs and firebrands about my head, the nioi ' e nearly I was turned to stone. Mv respiratory organs became nearly paralyzed, my heart fluttered and then beat iuird agamst my Adam ' s apple, my hair arose to the occasion in a vertical position on huge goose pimples, every nniscle was tense as steel. I could feel my eyes bulge from their sockets, until I could plainly see the ])rotrusions of my cervical vertebrae. But sud- denly there was a mightv screech and those frothing imps dispersed in great confusion. As I roused from the swoon, caused by tlie unearthly noise, 1 beheld old father Time, with his sickle in hand, bending over me. When I made a desperati ' effort to escape lie siniph- moved slowly away from me, but kept beckoning me to follow. I hesitated, but in a moment I felt my feet involuntarily following and soon I stood in a great, grim liallwav, having numerous doors leading from it. Above the one nearest me was written in gold tlie figures llHfS and as I moved on down the hall I suddenly stopped before one above which was written HUT. Here we entere l, but when father Time pulled away the curtain thi ' brilliancy of the wonderful hght blinded me. However, the door closed behind me an l as the lock snapped I felt a sudden jar and then heard father Time say- ing, Behold thou hast been jerked hence one decade ; open thine eyes and view what- soever thou wilt Restrictions on this valuable space forbids an elaborate lescription of this vastly grand scene as my eyes became accustomed to the light. But as I stood there gazing U]ion the flitting forms before me my attention was suddenly arrested by an approaching Auto ; it was coming at a terrific pace, but as it approached a large city it checked its speed and finally drew u]) in front of an immense skyscraper. On the glass front were the words Montgomery First National Bank. The only occupant of the Auto, except the chauffeur, was a tall gracefully built lady, with black hair, dark eyes, and a complexion like that of a lily. Without stepping frcnn the car she called to a clerk in the doorway, Is my husband In? No, your lajesty Madam, his highness has just left for the ' mansion. And just then she turned toward nie and lo it was none other than my one-time classmate Martha. As I was about to dash uj) to identify myself the Auto with lightning flash was rushing on out of sight. Returning to my foi ' mer position, my attention was next attracted by a group of buildings, although seemingly much enlarged, yet strangely familiar, situated in a city of about ten square miles in aica. The beautiful surroundings of these buildings stayeil my ]iassing gaze and I looked and beheld an inunense Orange and Rraro(jn pennant floating from the tower of the central building ; then I recognized it as Selin ' s Grove Hall and the |)]ace as S. V. ]My curiosity was at once aroused by a large building, which, on the site of the old Lai)., was in evidence. And as I crossed the exterior threshohl into the vestibule I heard a female voice within a large folding door, in a very convincing tone saying, This solution of Arsenate Pyroantimonate gives ex ' eedingly conclusive evidences as evinced by foiensic chemistry of a converted, nascent hydrogen of oxygen compound of arsenic hydrogen arsenide from which metallic arsenic can be i.solated with great facility. I stejiped up to tlu ' door and read the inscription on the silver door plati ' . It read: Jji ' i tiirc rddiii of the C ' liief Deinonstratur, Mademoiselle MaN ' re Esthcree Hukenuis La Burnz, A. M., Ph. D., D. D. S. Pushing the door ajar, to niv aniazeiiient there at the large demonstrating desk stood my erstwhile classmate Mary Esther. Not daring to approach her majesty I again sought the magic spot from whence I could see a beautiful dwelling surrouude I by a level, green piazza. Through the window shone a delicate Ray of hap[ iness and all about seemed to speak self- satisfaction. Just then the street-car stii[)|:)ed in front of the house and a very stout built man stepped of} ' . He wore a neatly pruned Prince Bismark beard and mustache; his face seemed familiar even among all those strange surroundings. I incjuired of a lad standing there who this piirtlv gentleman was. O, he replied, don ' t you know the world-wide snake charmer ami wild animal trainer? He conducts one of the world ' s greatest menageries. He first cami ' from a little college in Pennsylvania, but since his big hit as a snake charmer his hea Iquarters are in St. Louis and Chicago. He is here at Oyster Bay spending a few weeks at his summer home. Well ! Well his name ! I asked. Wliy it is none otlici- than Prof Samnelzt Frautenreight Hetrick. Before I could inijuireany further I wa.s unceremoniou.sly seized in the jaws of an immense crowd of surging hunianitv and carried to the square of the village. The crowd seemed to surround a large, gaily painted wagon, drawn by thirty-six coal-black steeds. The wheels of the wagon were i)lated with pure gold, the immense sides were decorated with fiftv-thousand dollar (.§00,000) paintings, the steeds were geared in silver-mounted harness, and on the bridle of each was a huge spike of ostrich plumes. When the Mansion on wheels ceased moving and the steeds were detached and sent to the stables, a short, medium, heavy-set man, with somewhat owlacious eyes and a sandv mustache came to the rear door, presse 1 a button, and the one side of the palace was raised like the curtain of a twenty-milliim thcatie, a stage dro]iped down and an extravagantlv attired cornet band api)eared fiom within. Aftei ' a few lively selections such as Wait Till the Sun Shines Nellie and Juanita, the short gentleman came for- ward and in a megaphoniferons voice announced : La lies and gentlemen, it is my ex- treme pleasure to announce to you that one of the rare o[)portunities of your lifetime is about to present itself. The human wonder whom I am about t i introduce to you has encircled the skidooth time, and the praise of his original wit and humor is on every tongue the world rounil. It is onh ' on accoinit of being a one time classmate of mine that I was en- abled to entice him hither. But after an enormous expense I have secured him for your uplifting and merriment on this ostensive occasion. Therefore, after the b and plays another heartrending prelude. Monsieur La Wellingtont ' Isaacque Zachmanne, the world famed wizardine of the realms of Burlesque, will deliver one of his facetious lectures. As he seated himself on the back of the stage, where I could see him more closely, I saw and gasped — it was Barnett. And then as that vast audience ceased applauding and the im- perial band ceasetl their melody making, who .should mount the speaker ' s box but Zcck., wearing ont of those million dollar jocular smiles that won ' t come off. He was dressed in a broadcloth Prin ' e Albert. His bosom seemed all aflame from tlic diamond stud, about the size of a walnut, which he wore in hissliirt. His left band waselaliorately adorned with a pigeon-bloo(l rub -, somewhat smaller than the above mentioned ' gem, but .still ju.st a bit extravagant. As he came to a stop at the fi-ont of the stage the deafening applause ceased, but be- fore he said a woril the immense audience was roaring with laughter. Then he looked serious, and in.stantly a death-like stillness came over the assembly and altho I couldn ' t hear what he was saying, I saw bitter tears streaming from every eye in that vast multi- 26 tuile ; huwever, it was tiir hut a UKiiue ' iit, for lirture I knew it I was heiiij; carricil baclv to my enchanted destination from wdienee I iirst started, by the reverberations of the tumultuous applause and hurrahs from the crowd. When I again stood u[)oii that mysterious location my nerves were almost gone. I was fast becoming exhausted b} ' the horrible strains, when I heard in the distance angelic notes of praise. As I listened they became softer and sweeter. I looked about me and perceived myself to be moving toward the music. Sweeter and sweeter it grew. Mv nerves were strangely soothed and strengthened. As I approached the magnificent dwelling the tones were so clear and pure that I looked Heavenward to see if perchance some kind angel could be hovering over me in my affliction. Not seeing any celestial forms I looketl for some one of whom I eoull incpiire the source of these silvery strains. I couldn ' t see anvone but an old grav haired coachman ; so I called him to me and pre- vailed upon him to kindly tell me the whence of that magnificent lullaby. (), said he, that ' s the Madam singing the baby to sleep. Whci, I inquired, was the ' Madam ' before she w;us married ? She was a school-marm if you please said he somewhat hesitating ' y ; she came from a place called Selin ' s Grove, in Pennsylvania.; she had made a great success of teaching when cupid pierced her heart and about two and a half years ago she was married anil a hap[iier home I have never seen. But what is her husband ' s occupation ? ()! he ' s the jiastor of the leading Lutheran church here in the citv. Just then the music stop])ed, the door opened and who should step on the veranda but my Mary classmate of 1)7, Mary Grace. Could it be that avowed Bachelor Girl of 1!H)7 ? jNIy eyes almost refused me sight. But as I stood in per- fect amazement she threw herself into a sjiacious seaside rocker and began singing Dearie and then I knew I was not deceived. Those old familiar strains soon carried me back to where kindold father Time had left me, but the sweetness of that LuUabv left such an impression on my mind as I shall never forget. Again strengthened l)v this refreshing season 1 thought I would take just one more glance and . ee a,s to the other ' 07. S(j bracing myself for all manner of things fi)r which I felt justified in expecting to witness, I looked for the indicator of the prophet ' s decade, and just as it was about to a|)pear I felt a sharp bump which wakened me and I found mvself half wav otf my chair, and that my heail had struck tlie back of my chair. Thus mv dear classmates, To be fore-warned is to be fore-armeil. I record this fiir your advantage.

Too soon you ' ve left us standini, ' here, Dazed at Future ' s shore, Wiiile time flows on, and other feet, Will tread tliose walks we ' ll tread no more. With tendrest thnuuhts nur minds i;c haek To those joyous verdant Freshman days When Future wrapped us in the mist Of dim uncertainty. The rays Of light seemed far remote, Which shone from the Senior star, Tho now that we ' ve reached them, ' tis the Freshman rays Which have faded for us, for which we yearning are. No more shall we as in those dear days Together roam fiehl and lull, Tho the flowers will still hi ii as in those hai)iiy times, Still will tlow the river, the brooklet, the rill. But other feet will tread the roads To the woods where the wild-flowers grow, There ' ll be other hands the blossoms to pluck, Other eves to see, other minds to know. But never again will tlml Fresimian class As in those dear days of yore Hold those sacred meetings, unknown and safe From the watchful eyes of the Sophomore. Susquehanna, to you we must say farewell. No more will that placid stream Bear over its breast the same laughing ciowd Care-free and ha]i])y in youth ' s golden dream. 28 Those wise Sophomore days have Hown with the rest, No less of charm had they, For inqiurina ' minds into chemistry Slowly, laboriously made their way. Sweet memories around that Lab. will cVmg When thinking of S. U. days. When each and all have parted at last, To journey in different ways. In Junior we came to sterner years, We learned that life ' s not a jest. But ambition now in our breasts arose. Each knew he must do his best. Our flight in the realms of Literature ( Tho it meant the hardest of toil) Was made, and now with ])leasure we look Upon the result of our midnight oil. The last of you, four happy years, we ' ve reached, Alas ! we have lived you through. We must say farewell, tho it causes a tear, There is work further on for each to do. To those sheltering, classic walls farewell. To teachers and friends adieu, Tho fain we would not, we must leave you now, For our culture received, our thanks to you. Farewell, farewell, dear olil S. U., ]May onlv good fortune thee attend. The four short years inside thy walls Have shown thee a true and trusty friend. When once we ' ve entered the battle of life, Mav no blush of shame come to your cheek. May we win in only the nolilest, the best. The onlv victory which thou taught us to seek. 29 V Class of Nineteen-Eight Motto : Flower : Colors : Non nobis solum. ' i()let. Lavoiuler and White.

Some had been at S. V. before, but only as representatives of the Academy tlepart- ment and not a part of the college. Now they were destined to fill the space madeempt}- liv [irogress. As it is a requirement of the age that a new generation be born into the world to fill the vacancy maile by the onw ard nKJvement of those ho were born before them, so in cdllege life there are similar vacancies to he filled in a similar way. However, when inventory was taken of the class of ' 08 it was f unid that they more than filled the vacated space both matcriallv and intellectually. They assend)led from thi ' four ipKirters of the earth, and to look at them one would almost infer that some came from the heavens above and others frt)m the waters beneath, but that there were some who had all the qualifications of real college men and women has been very perceptibly demonstrated. From thu tinst this t-hiss was an iiiiiKirtaiit factor in ro|)rescuting ' the schuuL In athletics it was a satellite from the start, for in foot ball, basket ball, and base ball the class of ' 08 has been part of tlie comiiosition of the different varsity s(juads throngh(jiit its college caret ' r. But not onl}- in athletics lias this class been prominent even though this is an im- portant auxiliarv to the school. Its members have been prominent as co-laborers in every organization connected with the college. It has furnished representatives at various conventions, heads of committees in various organizations, presidents and other officers of organizations, managers and captains of teams, etc. But this is glory enough for one stage of our career. We have considered our- selves in our relation to the college in general, but there is another phase of college life which leaves memorable foot-prints in our happily trodden path. When we were Freslnnen our wonhl be sovereigns became our subjects. One starlight night in September, 1904, we floated our enamoring pennant of lavender and white higli in the air to await the ghn ' ions sunlight and to greet t)ld Sol with a hearty goo(l-morning as he awoke in his royal splendor to set all the world atlanie. The morning was perfect, but the Sophs soon spoiled the splendor of the atmosphere by saturating it with smoke in their attempt to shoot do Mi the lavender and white. How naughty of them to make the entire neighborhood uncomfortable with the dett ' stahle odor of e xploded gunpowder ! But finally their ammunition was exhausted, and they really did succeed in breaking over the staff upon which the 08 emblem floated, l)ut far were they from bringing this creditalile l it of royal sjilendor to the dust as they tried to tell von in their feeble n;-.K- last year. However, we will be perfectly fair with tlieni and sav that taking all into consideration they put up an ordinary good scrap, Imt wc wisii to give support to their feeble memories by saying that the ' 08 ensign was by no means near their grasp, nor did it look at any time as though it might he. Then tliey obcved the instructions on our posters as loyal subjects would. Christmas vacation proved a .season of regret rather than a cause for rejoicing for us, for during this period one of our number, Louis J. Wlietmore, was called from this life. On tliis account we did not hold a class banquet in our Freshman year. It caused a wave of sorrow to bathe our ardent young hearts, and it was at this trj ' ing moment that we felt so keenly the real meaning of Longfellows ( r ls ; — There is no flock however watched and tended. But one dead himb is there ; There is no fireside howsoe ' er defended But has one vacant chair. However, we submitted ourselves to God ' s just and iioly will, and continued in onr laborious task wherein the [lath of duty led us. Summer came at last, and then Septendier, which once more sounded forth the proclamation that Dear Old S. V. again demanded our presence and service. We rallied to her side, and lo, there had lieen thrust upon her a verdant bunch of youngsters 40 who needed a few practical lessoiiii of c(5iigeiiiality. These lessons, it fell to our lot to teach them, so to make no mistake that every one should have the opportiniity to enjoy this blessed enlightenment we set forth in large type posters the College Law and The Prophets. They improved rapidly under our splendid tutorage until on the third day of October, 1905, when seven of oui- mendiers were away on a foot ball trip their legal philosophizers and advisers, who had the conceit of Phidippides but the judgment of Strepsiades, which equaled that of an old cow, advised them to hoist a pennant. In their childish way they obeyed, but to their sorrow ; for soon the Blue and White fell prey to the determination of the ' OS remnant. We had compassion -on them then and pernn ' tted them to hold their class banrpiet, which could have been avoided had we as a class so decreeil. However, on this occasion they manifested lack of judgment in sending the ' 08 president a telegram. Time went on, and 1)11 the mcn-ning of February 1, 1906, they were very much humiliated and heart rended in not being able to find their president. He had started already on his way to attend the ' OK bancjuet which was being held th;it evening. Again one of their ' 07 counselors endeavored to come to their rescue by u.- iiig the telephone; but all in vam. The Freshies wishuig to do something desperate tried to tie some 8o])hs. Two of them made a rush for a certain Soph but they landed on the opposite side of the street beneath their guardian ' s protecting bosom, and when told by the owner of the propertv that thev must vacate, they started up the street to the mother of one of the la ls that thev might have their clothes mended. The banquet was finally recorded nn the annals of hi.story and our next encounter was in basket ball. Here we were beaten only by the most mature claxs of the institu- tion, which took advantage of us by naming a day wholly against us and accepting no other, knowing that in a few da s we would be in cimdition to make their position doubtful. When we asked them for a game of ba.«e ball they ort ' ered e.vcuse after excuse until finalh we issued an open challenge for any class or department when they seemed to think that the best motto is, Even a coward might avoid a contest when he is sure of winning, but give me the man who will avoid it when sure of losing. Another summer passed by ; we became Juniors. Now we ai ' e out of those puerile ways and beginning to scan the field of life in its reality as it is being revealed to us. Our ambitions now extend bevoiid that of mere supremacy over our rivals, and we are grasping for that which will make us men and women worthy of the cau.se for which we were intended and which will enable us to elevate mankind, that we may leave behind us foot prints on the sands of time which shall give our jxisterity such inspiratiim that they mav even pass the goal at which we complete our course of life. HlSTOBIAS, ' 08. 41 Class Poem As Juniors, now (lur way a|)pears More illumed than in tornier years, And since the basic work is o ' er We seek for that unseen before. No more the verdant Freshman goal Appeals with rapture to the soul, Nor can the self become ideal Embodied in the all too real. The more we learn, we know the more There is a universal store, For while we see but as in part The trutli we cannot grasp at heart. How broad, alas, the human scope And boundless e ' en as man ' s fond hope, That gives a world of discontent To prior fields of achievement. We see the ever spreading field Which faithful work alone nuist yield, A glimps(- have we of what a stand It is our duty to comnumd. 80 when our college rlays are o ' er Not facts that go to make u]) lore. But (U ' cp as all pervading niglit The spirit firm to live aiight. Oh what a priceless gift to youth The treasures of a world of truth And uin ' ty anud chaos To prove an orb redeemed from loss. Oh what a blessing just to be The molders of one ' s destiny With opportunity to share The joys our mortal lives prepare. 42 classmates, the ties wliieh liind us here Have fused undying niem ' ries dear, Tlie teachings of three years have wrcjuglit In part what tacitly we sought. Yet one more year, the best of all. As Seniors, finds us in the Fall ; One college round doth still await Andiitious thirst to satiate. When we behold preceding years Advancing time the more endears; We find successive days do make The fabric of our whole year ' s work. And as the j-ears go on and on First one, then others, and amm, The substance of our course depends On what of good the present lends. In Freshman ear ileath ' s darkened shade Upon our liand her snrrow laid. And others have dropped out since then Although they figure the young men. To-day we nundier not as old For some have come within the fold And as a class united stand A common sympathy to hand. We trust whatever we may do May prove ns worthy of S. U., And that the violet and white May stand insignia for right. Thus in our lives may we attest Virtue is chjthed in what is best, Endowed by fortune and by fate We are the class of Nineteen-Eight. c o o C T3 c 0 c 3 ; . 5P g s c .S o 15 2 Oh 1 btS T3 CD a- 0; co ' to C o.S H H C5 fa hJ 3 OJ CO oi Oh .S be ft ■3 « 0 0 be be = S; ' 5 .2 - - 03 9 5 W :2 m ' ,3 m ' ■ 1— ( t; t3 nz!

Sophomore Class History After a pleasant anil prutitablr sunnner varatiun we ayain assembled within the walls of old S. O. 8onie of onr lunuber of tnrnier yeai ' s liad not returned, but new ones eanie to take their jjlaees and we now stand increased in nnndier and spirit, vying with eaeh other in loyalty to the lilue and Wiiite. Early in the Fall Term we deemed it advisable to exercise our kindly guiiling sway over the especially verdant conglomeration of beings who composed the Freshman class. A member of this class, thinking it was his special ))rivilege to call upon some of the fair ones in town, [noceeded to do so. Our class, always on the alert for the best interests of the institution, brought the verdant mend)er of that moss-covered bunch back to his proper place of abode. Of course, in doing this we occasioned great fear to the poor Freshman, in reality, almost scaring bini out of his wits. He was captured after an e. - citing chase at the home of Pres. Aikcns, where he had sought refuge. He was then seizetl and transported to bis room, and having promised to retrain from such acts in the future, he was put to bed without auy further punishment. The color question earlv assumed importance. Despite our orders they began to display ' them. Whether they diil this through ignorance of former customs, or wiu ' tber the - thought they were a ])rivik ' geil class with the right to wear their colors be- fore tliey fought for and won them, we do not know. But from tlie appearance of their actions it seems as thougii it was througii their inestimal)le inipu lence and verihmcy that they ostentatiouslv dis])la3 ' ed them in the form of bat bands and streamers on tiieir coats. Even the hats of fair Prejjs were adorned with the otfeusive colors. Tiiey wore them on Sunday and polluted the church by attending with about a yard of the otiensively tainted rags attached to their coats. Ho one day, not desiring to have the Sabbath farther dese- crated b - allowing them to wear the colors, we removed them by force, and thus bi ' ought the impudence to an end. Week after week we instructed and corrected this bunch of hollow swell-heads, (the majority of whom ought to have liad three more years in Prep taking the rudiments of common sense and college customs), until they learned that if they vauted to wear their colors the - must float their iicnnant upon the college campus and keeji it there tlie re- quired leugth of time. So at about two o ' clock on the morning of (October 7th, they half hid their colors among the branches of a tree near 8elin ' s Grove Hall. Having ])laced a man upon the tree, the remainder of the bunch lay down and blended their colors so well with that which covered the ground tiiat they were unnoticed. Thex- were heard in their prowlings by the aleit members of ' 09, liut were not deemed of enough importance to be attended to until morning. Then, we, realizing that we were contesting with savages and that brutal means would be used, we decided that .strategy would have to lie employed to make them realize their jKisition. After mauling the insignificant specimens of human emptiness for some time, the God of Peace, fearing for little George, stopped the fray. He claimed he had the authority and demanded that all scrapping cease, and that the Freshman rag be brought down. Well knowing that it could not be kept waving mucli longer under the tumultuous attacks as they were being made by the Sophs, they were glad for this op- portunity of retreating from the fray, thus forfeiting compk ' tc victory to their su))eriors. Thus having secured their cheesecloth pennant and wishing to display it they pub- lished a much antici|)ated game of basket ball in The Snsiiueiianna. Their next im- pertinent act was to openly challenge us. The challenge was no sooner posted than we recognized tlic act liy end)elli.shing it in their natural colors, which they seemed to recog- nize at once. Shortly after tiic beginning of the winter term one of the narrow-minded deviators appeared on the basket ball floor wearing the detestalde stiitt ' to hide the green beneath. Upon being asked by his (jver,seers to remove it, he had the audacit} ' to say: You are a set of babies and you can ' t take it oft ' ; whereupon our i)lucky {jresident snatched the oftensive thing from the hack of the rash boy much to his chagrin and sorrow. It is needless to say that he began to cry and went and told Teacher, that is, Prexie. After these expressions of their softness and impudence they decided to go to lilton and get a ten-cent lunch at some restaurant. Tiiis they called their ban |uet. We, knowing there was no danger of them getting anything but l)al)y food, left them go, thinking our time too valuable to waste on such foolishness. But the time was drawing nigh which was looked forward to by every member of our jolly class. So on the 7th (jf February, leaving our studies to indulge in the better thinjxs of life, we were s(jon gliding along the gracefully curving banks of the Susquehanna. When we arrived at the Hotel (ialaspy, Danville, Pa., which was to be the scene of our bounteous repast, it seemed as if the surrounding country had not done itself justice in yielding forth the bounties of the season; such vas the profusion and abundance of the best, both to eat and drink. JSot only were we able to show our abilities in supplying the inner man, but after the feast were heard such toasts and oratory as befits such col- lege boys and girls as couqiose the gallant class of ' 09. When the sturdy youths which composed our class basket ball team were ready, a game was arranged with tlie Freshies. Although they luul boasted if their skill as players, they went down in overwiielming defeat before our team. As we look over the class of Freshies whom we tried to teach by example and advice, we see a ijitiahle sight, for we see that they will be far from being able to fill the places we will soon leave. But from henceforth we will consider ourselves above con- tending with such insignificant preposters as these. We will now look towards things that are more elevating and ennobling. HiSTORI.YX. 48 Sophomore Class Poem A; Haunihal heean the Alps to ascend 111 the year T vo-Eij;liteeii B. C. ; So the freshmen began their trials to attend In the Fall of naught-six A. I). For the first they were taken away from their homes, And in the hands of 8. V. were placed ; We treated them well and allowed them to roam On the campus where none were disgraced. Such an awful green crowd you uever did see, They were green as the greenest green ; So green that when near a So])li they would be, Help! Help! a Robber! they ' d scream. Until October they were well behaveil, Strolled round and aetetl so kind ; But then they got it into their heads They could rule dear old naught-nine. ' Twas October tiie ninth, on Tuesday morn, Their flag was seen floating on high, And great were the feelings by the Sophomores borne, When that Orange and Black they did spy. At Two A. M. they had raised that cloth. And all through that long, cold uiglit. On the cellar-door from fear of a Soph They all slept close and tight. The bell for eight had scarcely souudeil When tlie Sophs from the building did run, In the form of a V well chose and nuinded For the trci ' where the Freshies hung. Ten was the number of Freshies green Who before that crowd were to blush ; And also the number of Sophs to be seen. As in triumph they made their first rush. Each held his own for almost an hour. While I ' ossura scaled the tree ; But on one of those limbs was a Fresliie sour. Who was noted for all wc diil see. When he did what was right not a Soph did care. But he kickeil, struck, aii l tranipleil our men. The sight was abhorred liy all then and thert ' , For that Freshie wore a big No. 10. 49 But the Freshies soon got enough of the tight. So Georgie to his father diil go ; Tiien the God of peace said it was not right ' I ' d liruise up our young men so. At the foot of the tree tlie Vice-President stood, — Bring that flag to the ground, he did shout; But all of our jjleadings would do no good, For Georgie was played out. So they placed it into his hands before noon, And many a So])homort ' did weep ; Because the God of peace had stopped us so soon And allowed iis only one sweep. Then that rag in our nni. enm was ])laced. In the honor of those who had fought ; But was not decided for those who had raced, So class-scraps were afterwards sought. Again the spirit grew high, and so did th ' ir heads, So Patty took the lead ; He tore that Orange and Black to shreds And didn ' t leave any for seed. Then the faculty took a stand in the tight, And to the Freshmen did say : If any more Sophomores disturb your rights They will have to go home next day. So colors by Freshmen were afterwards worn. And the Sophs dare not do a thing ; But di l von ever listen, right after a storm. How all little birds like to sing ? Freshies will learn as to Sophomores they grow When colors sliould be shown ; And won ' t be so anxious to make a big show As studies upon them are thrown. But other battles we will have to fight As we go struggling through ; Sci when the manv chances come in sight We will shout ' for old S. U. And so as our way thru the world we make, We will always be for the right : St and bravely for and never forsake, The noble Blue and White. 50 C-. , Class of Nineteen-Ten Motto : A lit vincne aiit iiioii.

Freshman Class History When the students began to assemble at Susquehanna at the opening of the Fall Term of 190(5 to l!t07, it was found that the Freshman class would surpass all its prede- cessors in quality if not in quantity. Thirteen young ladies and gentlemen, strong men- tally and physically, prepared at Susquehanna Academy and the Selin ' s Grove, Snnbnry. Huntingdon, and Bellwood High Schools, composed it. Before putting uj) our pennant we waited ahiuit a niontli in order that all the Sopho- mores might be on hand, so that the annual flag scrap would be something that at least resembled a contest. On the Hth of October, while the Sophs were resting their shallow brains the P resides rai.sed their pennant on a tree near Selin ' s Grove Hall. Wiien the Sophs arose tiiey saw their doom, liut it was not nntil about nine o ' clock that they could mnster up courage enough to begin the fray. The contest raged fiercely for about an hour, when the vice-prcsi lent, tin ' uking enough blood lia 1 been shed, called it off. The brainv Freshmen had the advantage over the brawny Sojihomores all the while, and it was the concensus of oiiiulou among the siiectators that the much heavier Sojihomores could iifi ' d- have taken the ]iennant down. The Freshman Basket Hall team orgain .iMJ, and e(|uipped itscdf with neat orange and black jerseys ; but. alas, in vain ; fur the sleeiiing Sopbomcues could not lii ' aroused sufliciently to accept our challenge. On the last day of Januarv it was again demon.strated to the Sophomores that a Freshman class of thirteen was a most uuliuky thing for tluiu. Until supper-time, they were in blissful igMKU ' ance of the tact that the Freshies had left Selin ' s Grove on the 53 4.30 train to hold their haiKjuet at Miltou. The lianquet was a grand success, every member of the class being present under the cha|)eronage of Prof, and Mrs. Stover. After a sumptuous repast and some very appropriate and interesting toasts and a short but pleasing program, the evening was spent in a delightful social wa}-, and we returned in the morning with our colors Hying. Our class has been represented on Ixith ' arsity and Scrub teams in liotii foot ball and basket ball. Members of our class are also active in the Couservatory Orchestra, Clio, I ' hilo, Y. M. C. A., etc., etc. Hut it is not oidy in tliese au.viliaries of college life that our class stands so high. Our schiilarshi]! is of the highest grade. We feel that we have made a very successful start in our (•(lilcgt ' course, but hope that as we go on tlirougji college we may be even more successful and pros|)erous. Once there was a banquet And it was very grand, For, you know, ' twas managed By the youthful Freslniian band. The Sophs, they never knew it. They were so very slow. And the Freshies from their iki]i:is (iol tlit ' ir much desired douj;h. They went upon the trolley, They went upon the train, They went a-marching up the street Witli all their might and main. They blew their horns and holleri ' d, They waved their pennants bright, And everyone decided That the Freshmen irere all riglit. The banquet, it was over. The Freshmen, they came lionic, And down at once they squattefl And wrote this little poem. Historian, l(t. 54 Class Poem Aut vincere aut inoii To conquer or to die, Is tlie soul-inspiriug motto You hear tlie Freslinien cry. Not one of us will falter Or leave our work uii(l ine, Not one will siiirk a lesson For tlie sake of having fun. Oh, we are lo3al classmates. To one another true ; Anil whate ' er the Profs connuand us, Tiuit, we are sure to do. We ' re thirteen jolly Freshmen, Three girls and ten brave boys ; And though we have our sorrows, We also have our joys. The Latin poets charm us, ( uadiatlcs are onr joy ; And Professor fierman ' s Lectures Please every girl and ])ov. A few of us have stu(lie l The an cient Grecian ]jlays, And the treasures we have found there We ' ll cherish all our days. English, Oratory, French, — In all we do excel ; The only secret of it is — We study them right well. Ever — restless time rolls on. Our Freshman days [)ass by ; But we ' ll ne ' er forget our motto — To conquer or to die. 55 LNSTKUlTOUS Instructors ' Biographies Miss Anna Kahler, Assistant in Srhool of Business. 12- Born in HuK-hesviUe, Pa.

D., was the distinguished founder of Missionary Institute, now S. U. His original phm was to Ijave an institution to train men for the ministry without regard to age or domestic ties. Dr. Kurtz ' s plans, however, were so modified that tlie Institute opened with both theological and classical departments under a charter granting the privileges of a university. From 1858 to 1881, Henry Ziegler, I). I)., was the main teacher of Theology. He was aided by Pr. Kurtz till his death in December, 1865, and by Drs. Samuel Domer and Peter Anstadt, wlio were, respectively, pastor and editor in Selin ' s Grove, and especially by Prof. Peter Born, 1). D., the principal of the classical department. Dr. Ziegler was a good teacher and an indefatigable wfirker. He prepared most of his text books and published those on Catechetics, Dogmatics, Pastoral Theology and Hcimi- leties. Dr. Peter Born was superintendent or head of the school and first theological pro- fessor from 1881 till 189. ' i. He continued as professor of theology until his death -n 1899, having been professor here for forty years. As a theological teacher Dr. Born was es- pecially strong in Practical Homileties and the Bible. The Rev. .Jacob Yutzy, I). D., taught Hebrew for some years in connection with his pastorate, and from 1895 to 1904 gave full time to his professorship. Kev. .T. R. Dimm, 1 . D., taught in the Seminary from 1895 to 190(i. Rev. C. W. Heisler, D. D., taught from 1899 to 1901. Rev. John B. Focht, I). D., taught from 1899 to 1905. At the opening of this school year the teaching force was as follows : Rev. Chas. T. Aikens, A. M., Pres., Professor of Homileties ; Rev. Frank P. Manhart, D. D., Vice-Pres., Pro- fessor of Theology, etc. ; Rev. J. R. Dimm, D. D., Professor of Apologetics, etc.; Rev. D. B. Floyd, D. D., Professor of Hebrew and Greek Exegesis, etc. ; Rev. G. M. Genztler, A. M., Professor of German, and I. C. Stover, Professor of Expression. The aim of the department is primarily to train men for the varied practical duties of a present day minister, and withal to so open up the whole range of theological studies as will enable them by further study and specializing to become scientific theologians. The type of theology taught is that of historic and generic Lutheranism— conservative, yet progressive. The department is open to students of any type of Evangelical Christian belief. Ordi- narily students should be college graduates, but others who have sufficient abihty and culture to profit by the course, will be admitted. This department has trained ministers mainly for the General Synod, though many of its former students are now in the ministry of other Lutheran bodies like General Council, the United Synod and the Missouri Synod, while still others are in the ministry in other denominations. Through these the influence of the school has been felt throughout our land and in Asia and Africa. There is pressing need of more ministers, and suitable candidates will be welcomed. 64 Susquehanna University Conservatory of Music Motto: Thorouffhness. Emblem : • Colors : Fern.

The press, instead of displacing the orator, has t;;i en him a larger audience and enabled him to do a more extended work. As long as there are himian rights to be de- fended ; as long as there are great interests to be guarded ; as long as the welfare of nations is a matter for discussion, so long will public speaking have its place. So great i.s the ilignity and excelleoce of oratory that it transcends all rnlo ; - ; so great i.s its splendor that it not only lights uj), but dazzles the eves of men. Therefore, it has been justly compared to the rainbow Iris, because it overwhehiis the souls of mortals uitii wonder. For what is moir wonderful than eloi|uence? What is more wonderful than the power of holding an assembly of men, of controlling the minds of nations, and dominating the will even of kings and ])rinces? Of leading them forth whither the speaker wishes, and winning them back from their own ways? Do you desire to move the jiitv of the hearer V Eloquence can move it. Do (Ui desire to in- flame him with anger? Eloquence can move his wrath. Do you desire that he shouhl pine with envy, be consumed with grief, dance with joy ? All these emotions of the mind can be excited by an oration adorned with fitting sentiments, expressed in powerful diction.

The work of the Conjujercial Department, which was started in 1!H)2, has been one of steady growth. The mind that concieved the idea of adding this department to the Uni- versity set a great work on the forward movement. The history of the Commercial has not lieen one of continued prosperity and ease. As every thing that has a small beginning must struggle upward and prove to the world its worth, so has this department been yearly meeting its ditiiculties and overcoming tlieni. The competition of the numerous so-called C ' ommercial Colleges, and their Haring advertise- ments, must be met by placing on the market a superior article, thus giving the business public what they demand, in.stead of deceiving the prospective students with visions of a complete education in a marvelously short time, and then step into positions of enormous salaries. Our Department has sent out many good business men and women, who are holding trustwortliy and responsible positions in colleges and business houses. Many of our grad- uates are to be found in Pittsburg and Philadelphia, and nearly all the towns in the sur- rounding country have given employment to our Stenographers and Bookkeepers. We know of none of our graduates, who desire positions, who have been unable to secure them. Susquehanna has no cause to be ashamed of her Commercial graduates, as they have all been faithful workers and we hear nothing but words of praise regarding them. In this department history in a manner repeats itself every year. A number of new students enter, and those who are fitted by education and intellect, and are furnished with a good supply of good common sense and perseverance can complete the work of one course in a school year, and with a great deal of love and good feeling for Susquehanna, leave the .school in June to enroll in the world ' s great Business School. To what height they rise as they go out invariably depends upon their moral worth an l character, and whether their at ility to meet and solve life ' s troublesome problems is equal to their class work grade. i it is, they have little trouble. It is said that each one of us has a call to do some special work. Our aptitude, incli- nation, and training for that work must be the criteriiui. As a rule our inclination and de- termination to master the details of a special trade or profession determines that call. It is the best within us seeking recognition, and our success usually is the evidence that we have chosen the right vocation. If we make ourselves masters of our work other men will recog- nize its sacredness. Only incompetency is despised. This is no where more often illustrated than in the business world. A competent Commercial student can work his way to success, and very often rises from the desk or the typewriter to the manager or a member of the Arm. Their Commercial education places tliem in lines of usefulness and develops a part of their mental nature that will be of untold value to them no matter what profession they may engage in. Our Department this year is fully equipped. We have plenty of good typewriters and other apparatus. The present instructors are Prof, (ieorge Clark, Penmanship; Prof. E. P. Sones, Bookkeeping, etc.; Miss Anna I. Kahler, Shorthand, Commercial Law, etc. We have a class of very industrious, interesting young people, and the future of S. U. Com- mercial daily grows brighter. 81 Summer School, 1906 Miss Cordelia Acker Mr. Frank P. Boyer Miss E. May Boyer Miss Alma Brady Mr. George Brainiii Miss Mary Burns Miss Edna Caflish Mr. A. V.

Savidge Iva Bowman Christian Organizations The Young People ' s Cliristian Associations liave become an indispensable adjunct to the hfe of any institution of learning. When the first College Association was formed is still a disputed question. It is certain, however, that the first two were organized in the Uni- versity of Virginia and the University of Michigan in the year 1S58. Since then Associa- tions sprung into existence almost spontaneously, but were not bound together by any tie whatever ; in fact they did not know of the existence of each other. They had, as a rule, narrow and widely different purposes and methods of work. On the sixth day of June, 1877, the first International Convention of the Young IMen ' s Christian Associations met in Louisville, Kentucky. The convention was called by a letter sent out by the Association at Princeton College to consider the advisability of organizing a Christian Intercollegiate movement under the auspices of that organization. The discussion resulted in such a movement, with one college secretary, who gave all his time to the exten- sion and development of this noble work. The progress of this movement was indeed remarkable. Associations are now firmly planted in every land, and everywhere the leaders of the student work bear testinidny that tlie influence of the American movement has been very helpful in their I ' niversities. One of the most striking things about this movement is its wonderful power of adap- tion. It is at the same time one of the marks of its providential character. The Associa- tions have shown themselves adapted to institutions of higher learning, of all races, of all nations, of all evangelical denominations— associations being found in institutions of over flirty denominations — of whatever grade, whether academy, college, university, normal, or professional school. The secret of their power is found in their three-fold purposes: 1. To help unite the Christian men and women of the college world. And it is, indeed, a source of no little en- couragement to know that as ci llege students we have temptations and allurements, aims and jnirposes that are common. 2. To establish and promote the religion of Christ in tlie lives of college men and vv(unen. Scores of men and women can trace the beginning of the higher and more perfect life back to the day when tlieir hearts were first touched by the life of one if these organizatiDus. S. To equij) and send forth leaders to extend the king- dom of (iod throughout the world. To such who are seeking an oppdrtunity for doing good in a particularly needy field and desire to get an experience that is unsurpassed in the development of ability to do Christian work, there are no organizations that so equip men and women for real and effective service. The results which have fdllowed the work of the movement are, indeed, marvelous, and prove emphatically that it has been guided and energized by the Holy Spirit. The scope of Christian work has been broadened and deepened in all institutions with which it has come in contact. In some institutions the work has assumed such variety and proportions that it has become necessary to erect buildings for the sole use of the .Associations. Christian life and activity have been greatly intensified throughout the student world. Students and pro- fessors of institutions all over the world bear striking testimony to the manner in which the religious life of their institutions has been deepened through the intluence of this movement. It has bound together the Christian college men and women of this country into the most powerful student companionship that the world has ever known. It is uniting the denomi- nations by uniting in purpose, in service, and in spirit, the ministry of the church and thus preparing for proper recognition of the Universal Brotlierhood of man. The movement has also awakened an enthusiastic interest in genuine Bible study. The emphasis laid upon this work has in many cases led to the introduction of the study of the English Bible into the college curriculum. Surely Cod is in the movement. It is equally certain that he has greater things in store for it, for its opportunities and possibilities are far greater than its achievements. Y. M. C. A. OFFICERS I. S. Sassaman President. J. D.

Man is endowed with many special gifts. He oecujiies the highest place interrestial creation. But wjth all his superioi ' ity over other forms oi ' life, he is not a perfect, com- pleted being, incapable of further development. But instead he is capable of almost in- finite development along various linos. And if he neglects to train his mind with its cog- nitive, emotional and volitional potentialities, he will invariably fall far short of measur- ing up to the full stature of a man. As Many a flower is born to blush unseen and waste its fragrance on the (U ' sert air, so many men live their lives and cease to be. They are never noticed because tliev never liecoine noticeable. The world does not recognize a man nntiliie does something of value ; tiien it will cro vi him. Tiie plains in tlie west were formerly dry and barren. No vegetation grew there. It was even thought that the soil was sterile and that it would ahvavs remain unfruitful. Hut the settlers came; thev cultivated the soil, they planted trees, the rains of iieaven descended and now that va.st urea lies smiling in verdure and clothed with the fresh cohir of vegetation. Many young men come to College with their minds along literary lines almost as barren as the prairie. The - become afhliated with literary w(jrk ; their powers of thought and expression expand and as a result tiiey become men of marked power and influence. It has been the mis- sion of Clio to establish ' •mriiliili. ' ardo et in(ini i.- illi iiitfoi. Her history is one of renown. Many of lier .sons are in tlie broad arena of life to-day, winning for themselves wreaths of honor because Clio with her magic wand touched the dormant faculties of tlu ' inner selves and started a flame which has spread like a conflagration, giving light and heat and life to their otherwise sterile natures. Take away Clio and her influence from the college training of her sons and you will have no more left than if you remove the Prince of Den- maik from Ilandet. The College student who takes advantage of literary work will al- ways lie pi-ond of his achievements, but he who remains outside this flower garden of re- freshing thought will mi.«s much of the sweetness and fragrance of life and will have robbed himself of an enviabh ' accomplishment. 92 Philosophian Literary Society Motto: ' Nou Festinato Non Cessato.

This has been said of our lite in general. It is also true that our college life is a miniature stage ujjon which are acteil scenes and event.s whicii will influence our entire future career. As wo see and act during this iire|iaratorj period, so will we to a large e.xtent see and act during all our life. It is of the utmost importance then, that we, as college men and women, have a right view-point ; that we see tiic different phases of our college life according to their true value and in their right relations. The world to-dav is more than ever, calling for broad minded men and women. It is .seeking those who liave largo JKn-izons, noble purposes, and high ideals in life. Any element in our college career that would tend to preijare us to fill this need should in- deed be given an important place. The work of the literary societies in our own college iikii in a large measure help to broaden us and give us an all-around develojiment which will inci ' ease our effectiveness in the world, if we look at our own society and its work from the right view-point; if we do not have this pro]ier pers|)ective, then just the opposite result will be produced. In other words our literary society may make us l)road or it may make us narrow, just as the different phases of the work appeal to us. Loyalty to our own society and to each fellow meMd)er is a good thing. We need to co-operate with and help each other. But this very spirit of loyalty may develop a spirit of fraternaHsm. This, no doubt, has a value in some organizations but it should have no place in a college literary society. For when manifested to the extreme, as it often is, it makes us narrow and exclusive rather than broad and charitalde in our views and in our relations to our fellow students. Again, it is true that in a co-educational in- stitution such as ours, the social phase of our school life should be developed. However important this may be, the develo|)nient of our social natures is not the ])rimary object of a literarv society. Xor is there anything in the nature of the organization itself that could po. ' isiblv make it the basis for social distinctions. If in our minds the society exists simply for the manifestation of a fraternal and social spirit, then we are looking at it from the wrong view-point and we need to change our position else we incur the danger of becoming narrow anil l)igoted. Primaril}- a literary society should stand for intellectual development, for the mak- ing of fluent and foi ' ceful speakers and writers. Its [irincipal aim should be that of true culture. For it is only those that possess this that become a real piower in the world. True culture cannot exist where there is narrowness and bigotry, no matter how far one may be advanced intellectual 1 ' . It is the glory of Philo that she has ever recognized th is fact. And that she stands for this high ideal — true culture. Especially during the ])ast year has she striven to eliminate all assemblance of narrowness and fraternalisin within hi ' r lanks and in her relations witli other organizations. We invite all who desire self improvement to join us. We do this in order that you mav help us and tliat wc may help you. And thus working together in complete harmony and sympathy the greatest good will be done to the greatest number, and the real object of I ' liilo w ill be attained. 96 JI)iloiinitruir%k ' n AWRIGMT, Phi LA Philomatrians I.

Among its charter members we notice the names of the following :— C. M. Nicholas, M. N. Fisher, H. D. Hoover, Ciias. P. McLaughlin, L. P. Yonng, Geo. A. Livingston and T). J. Snyder, all of which have completed their col- legiate and theological courses, and to- lav are etficicnt I utheran ministers of the Gospel and among the most faithful and loyal sons of their Alma Mater. Any student oi ' alumnus of the I ' niversity is eligible to mcml)crshi]), provided, he has given evidence of having the welfare of the institution at heart, by etiectively pro- moting her interests. According to the constitution only two alumni can be elected anniuilh, and according to custom ouh ' three undergraduate students are elected each year. From this limited membership, the organization is somewhat exclusive but has aroused wholesome rivalry on the jiart of our .students to secure place in this society, for it is Well known that individual merit alone is recognized in honoring a student by elect- ing him a member. The Society of I ' hilomatiians is not a secret organization, nor is it designed to pro- mote the welfare of its own members. Its object is not selfish or personal, but to pro- mote the best interests of the University. During the few short years of its iiistory, it has established itself as an important factor in our College life by stimulating true college sjiirit. For several years this society was instrumental in arranging for Inter-collegiate de- bates, which aroused no little enthusiasm and t ' ollege spirit, and which stimulated a num- ber of our .students to greater etliirt in this verv important literary work. It has co-operated with other organizations ami helped them to be more succes.sful in their respective spheres of activity. Through her etliu ' ts tjie Students ' Publishing Association has received encouragement and sup])ort. ' arious prizes have been offered by the Philomatrians f ir wortin ' productions written bv undergraduate students for The Susquehanna, Our first College songs weic written in respon.-ie to a prize offered by this society to the aluuuius, undergraduate or former student, who wonld compose the best Susque- hanna song. Athletics have received i)r jper attention. The framed pictuies of our different athletic teams, that adorn our G innasium, have been secured by the untiring efforts of the Society of Philomatrians. At present she is arranging for litei-ary contests between the Freshman and Sopho- more classes. She is now raising funds to purchase historical and educational pictures to be jdaced in various public |)laces of the University. Long may she live and efficient may siie be in jjromoting the highest and best in- terests of our beloved institution. 98 Musical Union Colors : Red and Green. Enihleiii : Lyre. E.

A student body uninterested in the past, has awakened, and a new s])irit lias been manifested. The class spirit has been runninn ' lii,i;h, and as strong class teams are dcvelopcil, the Varsity will not lack material. One of the liest teams tliat ever represented SusipU ' lianna on the diamond, played last year. Throug-h the untiring efiorts of Coach Tenfel, the wiiniing spirit was instilled into the players, which enabled them, so often, to carry off the laurels. We held Htate College to a score of ' ■)-(), defeated Lebanc n ' allev, Bloomsburg, Berwick and others, thus placing Sus(piehanna at the bead of the list with other colleges. We made a good record in Foot-Ball, although comlitions ■r ; unfavorable in the start; yet as the season progresseil, a strong team was develo])ed. We lost a majority of the games, but closed the season by playing the strong Dick- inson College team, who were not scored upon on their home grounds, until Su.squehanna crossed their line, holding them to the score of 28-10. In Basket Ball the climax was reached. The season was a very successful one. As nearly all the old playtMS returned to school, and with a strong Iveserve team to draw upon, the season opened with much enthusiasm, which was not lost during it. To Captain Shaffer at centre, and the addition of Jacobs at guard, wa due nnich of the credit brought to the team and school. Defeating Bloomsburg, Williamsport Y. M. C. A., Lock Haven, Lebanon Valley, and holding Bucknell to the score of 4()- ' 2 ' . , was no little credit. We scored 416 points to our op[)onents ' 252. The prospects for a Base 15all team this year are ordinary. Mau - new men have reported, besides tlie old ones who have returned.

They are the un(level()[ie(l material that has been left over after the best men have been picked out for the arsity ; or, in other words, they are the reservoir or feeiler of the Varsity, and on that account it is almost impossible to keep a strong scrub team, for a-s soon as a man has developed into a good player he is taken liy the ' arsity. He sujiplies the vacancies that occur year after year by those who leave us. The name Scrub is to some a word of insignificance, but certainly never has a name been more inappropriate or undeserving when we reflect how they were beaten and bruised evening after evening by the strong, heavy Varsity, simply to afford her practice and make her stronger, so as to he able to cope with the teams of other Colleges. The vic- tories that the N ' arsity scored, should be shared with the Scrubs ; for, their training was the Varsity ' s training. A foot ball game can never be learned by a code of dry rules but by constant practice, and in this the Scrubs have done their duty. We are all jiroud of nur Scruli team, for tlie record it has made during the past season. They lost no game save that w itii the Varsity, and in this tluy have shown their strength well. May we place more confidence in our Scrubs an l encourage them in their work ; for they are the future Varsity who are to uphold the banner of tiie Orange and JNIaroon. Let us always have men ready to join the gridiron to keep up the records of which we are proud. The Varsity is the monument of the faithfulness of Scrubs. 120 1906 Base Ball Teams W. E.

While the day was slowly dawning, And the night his tents did fold, The Sophs were waiting ibr the signal From their leader brave and bold. Both wert ' ready for the eontlict (For their eontidenee was great,) That should decide the question Of the story of their tate. The Sophs in council talked quite bold How the Freshies they would teach, And the F ' reshies also boasted That their flag was out of reach. When the ]ilans of war were ended, A mighty sliout came from the hall, Like the hoards of fierce barbarians Coming on like mid-night pall. How the Sophs in armed battalion Charged upon the Freshmen bold ; But in vain they fought the battle As their story now is told. Fiercely was the battle raging, When an arbitrator came. And took the spoils of victory With all the wreathes of fame. As he eyed the glorious banner, He seized it like a crow That watched two chickens fighting For a little worm below. O, what noble fight was wasted ; Best tiiat Susquehanna saw For the wreath of measly laurel. Since, the ConHict was a draw. 131 Freshman Banquet Oh once there was a banquet, And it was very grand ; For don ' t 3 ' ou know ' twas managed By the ' outhf ' ul Freshman band The Sophs they never knew it, Tliey were so very slow ; And the Freshies from their papas Got their much desired dough. They went upon the trolley, They went u[)on the train, They went a-marching up the street With all their might and main. They blew their horns and hollered, They waved their pennants bright ; And every one decided that The Freshmen were all riglit. Tlu ' banquet it was over, Tlie Freshmen tiiev came home ; And down at once the} ' squatted And wrote this little Pucm. 132 Sophomore Banquet ' Tvvas noon at Susquehanna and all was still, The Freshmen had gone to dinner to eat their fill. But when all were seated and begiiuiing to dine The)- were startled by the yell (if nniighiy-nine. Many Freshies looked out, but the boys drove away. Leaving them to enjoy their classes that day. The rest of the crowd at Sunbury was met. And all started for Danville— the place they had set. They were entertained agreeably till the appointed time, Then gathering together they prejiared to dine. t_) ir ffti ire hal was a beautiful sight, Everywhere decked with Blue and with White. The things on the table were nice and refined, While everything there was the best of its kind. It seemed that every one without a request Tried to make this banquet a grand success. ' Round the well supplied table much time was spent; IMemories of that meeting we ' ll never forget. With our royal feast over, many toasts were made .A nd many tributes to our friends were paid. The evening spent there, was a delightful one. But many years after— yes, years yet to come ; When our school days are over and backward we peep, Many benefits received at that feast we shall reap. 133 The College Student ' s Dream What ' s the use of all this plugging And of burning midnight oil, When we might as well be hugging ' Stead of all this gruesome toil? Wliy not go and spend the hours Under moon ' s reflected rays, And behold the twinkling stars In their beauty all arrayed ? Why sit here and dig and ponder For results we ' ll ne ' er achieve, Rather than be over yonder On the campus ' neath the trees ? What care we for French and Latin When ' tis English we most need? What to us this blam ' d surveying. Trigonometry, and Greek? What concern us old mechanics. Qualitative and the like, Toxicology and ethics, When fair lasses are in sight? Homer, long ago was buried. So has Plautus bit the dust; Only authors of to-day Will be of benefit to us. Tacitus is out of date. While old Quintilian ' s ' hind the time, Psychology always changing Like the banks along the Rhine. Aristophanes is smutty — Not fit for gentlemen to read ; Horace wouldn ' t be half bad If from his satires he were freed. So we ' d better up and doing And accomplish greater deeds, Lest our Preps — they take to spooning And our time they beat with ease ; ( )r, those theologues so wily Soon their doctrines might forget. And of our chief course deprive us — That of co-ed etiquette. Theologues ! when once they ' re started, Then are Homiletics vain, — No more creeds and Propadeutics Then to occupy their brains. Apologetics will be slighted, Hebrew be no longer trump. While their own care-worn professors Will be always on the juni)i. Then ' tis up to the college men To treat the fair ladies right, (Age of Preps too young you know And of theologues too ripe.) For, it pays to put on airs And looks of full sobriety. And get the trend of the college course That of high society. When once our college days are o ' er, Then we ' ll burrow in our books; Now ' s the time for mirth and joy And sport galore in shady nooks. 134 O hunger, where hast thou not led Satanic tool, man underfed, And where is rule or discipline That can encompass man ' s Hrst sin? Or who can half resist the might Of yearning student appetite When thoughts of the home-made afford A keener contrast in one ' s board? The Fall term was well nigh ended And December ' s cold embedded Its pangs in the ill-nourished Of which Selin ' s Grove Hall flourished. The boys were hungry on that night. The tale of which I now must write ; And so impelled they sallied forth, Heading somewhat toward the North. The moon half hidden by a cloud Served as a veil that did enshroud The game which darkies often seek When unsuspecting owners sleep. By one alone the tree was scaled For Christman never yet had failed To instigate and then attain The end for w-hich some strive in vain. With bag in hand another stood. The Keller type of young manhood ; They also serve who stand and wait And seize the oppo rtune at stake. Alas, but here did Christman fail. He caught a chick right by the tail ; The hen flew off ; nor did mistake To give tail-feathers, a keepsake. With three or four they started back. Nor did a gas stove Hopple lack ; For where a will is, there ' s a way. Is what some College folk would say. The hall began to fill with smoke And those asleep e ' en then awoke ; But some enjoyed the midnight feast, For conscience that night had decreased. 137 Isle of Que Quartette Jolinnis Kellaiibu8, First Tenor.

Eleven days In April had ' most past, and the Juniors Were almost ready to complete their task Relative to The Lanthorn ; hut there, alone. Facing the chilling east-winds, these two were. From a window the bus y Jnnioi ' s spied The magnificent sight, — and they iiise up, ( Busy though they were ), and laid aside Their tedious task for the time being. And then in great amazement, with their eyes Fixed for the crucial moment, stood still. Waiting to learn results. It was sad. For in a few moments the prescribed law Would demand departure. He looked at her, Fairer than the god less of morn, and placed His hand upon the brow of Cupid ' .s charm, Desiring to kiss her, — on the sly. She looked at him ; then, with one great etfi)rt Withdrew a stej) or tw(.) away from him, But, alas ! scarcely had slie done so, when He bhjcketl her path. Nearer the} ' drew, until cpiite close apart. Then, once more they twain feigned to separate But with no avail ; for, wlien she would leave. He would follow, — not saying aught of her, — And thus the oft rejieated act went on. The final time had come when separate They must, — and, in a ])rogressive manner Their paths diverged. Then, wrapt in clee]3est thought. They awaited the recital hour. ' Twas Thursday, When each went forth alone. Not one of all Those saddest moments shall e ' er be forgot. Sad, yet ha{)[)ilv they went their way Thinking each other ' s thoughts ; for the one Was George, the other, she, Whose heart was part of his. f41 The Reading Room The at one time rather iiisiguiticant apartment of Susquehanna University known as the Reading-room has lately come to be regarded with reverence and awe, and it is now held as sacred as were formerly the shrines of Diana and A] llo. It required years of contemplation and hard thought on the part of the autliorities — infallible as they are — until they could find one in the incarnate l form whom they could decmadwpiate to thecarry- ing out of their statutes and to whom they could conscientiously entrust the performance of the several duties of this solemn office. Finally, however, one was found, who, (though he accepted very reluctantly) since he has taken his seat in the iignified office, has carried out the sacred rites with such abilit} ' that he has won for himself inestimable cretlit and renown. We have every reason to believe that his success in carrying out the prescribetl plans will in time redound to the glory and honor of his posterity. The following com- mandments have been laid down by the Divinities and immortal authorities, which, for reasons below stated, must under all considerations be observed lest we invoke the anger of those in authority over us. I. Thou shall close the door quickly as possible after entering so as to avoid defile- ment b} ' inrush of foul air from outside. II. Thou shalt enter the room with the most solemn pomp so as not to disturb the prevailing peace. III. Thou shalt never crack a smile, though thou art encouraged to read Puck and Judge quite extensively. IV. Thou shalt remove thy hat from ott ' thy head at a distance no less than 20 feet from the entrance. V. Thou shalt not lean back on any of the chairs. Tliey are delicately constructed. l. Thou shalt not talk or whisjx ' r to any one lest thou disturb His Majesty, who may be taking a nap in the librar} ' . VII. Tiiou shalt avoid seeing anj ' of the Fair Se. , should any liappen to be in the room. VIII. Thou shalt not look through the window undei ' an} ' circumstances. IX. Thou shalt not res])ond if perchance a lady should desire to sjjeak to you. X. When approaching the Chief iSIagistrate, clad in his robes of office, salute him iu the most orderly manner, lest yon incur his anger and he reix)rt you to the gods. 143 Theologue Band Alleubaeli Bing-ai Sassaman Uber Myers Bair 144 Teufelis Anti-Race-Suicide Club ACTIVE MEMBERS Moyeribus.

Into existence then there eanie A club known of Sanhedrin fame, Not one to trv the Savior ' s deeds. But to svi|ipl ' our student needs. The faculty and high class men Number about some four and ten, While these alone sit at the head To serve the ever-changing fed. () vulgar toothpick, thou hast met This coLirt of dining etiquette. Nor has the grace of talk a seat In those who open but to eat. The august bodv monthly seek The iiallowed spot wliere lovers meet, And there, by chance, they do agree To hold in hand blind fate ' s decree. The young and old no longer know With whom |)erclianee they may elbow. Until ]iast-sui)per session o ' er They learn of new relations more. O Time, that knowest not thy flight But in the deluge of thy light Engulfs man ' s darkened hopes so dim. We tiiank thee for dear Sanhedrin. And when we eat but to sustain May w ' e not hope to eat in vain. But daily as we all surround May thy rich season ' s fruits abound. A. J., ' 08. 148 The Lanthorn A SONNET O Lanthorn : thnn hast worried many a class ; Thou hast caused ceaseless hours of toil anil care ; In thee is stored the cause of falling hair. If we could brinir thy victims in one mass, Away would turn the faces as they pass. For, there be some who fain would fan the air, And pa. s thru college, simi)ly loafing there ; But thou dost teach them work is once their task. Yet why should there of such a deed be dread ? For labor is the blest design of God. We see a noble monument thou art ; — That only thou a knowing light dost spread On deefls of those — though some bear up the sod,- Who year by year from out these walls depart. J. D. C. The niid-tlay of our college course Its busy morning beams has shed ; And by the past of well spent force Illumes the path where now we tread. When we gather in the class-room Seated under Proffy ' s eye, And listen to his empty babble Feigning psycholog}- to cry — We realize he naught can help us But that i ' c must do or die. 151 Memorabilia Susquehanna Uiiivnsitv founiled ( Missionary Institute) IfSo) Selin ' s Grove Hall built ' ISo Gustavus Atlolpluis Hall built l.H f4 Laboratory built • • 11 !
