JUVfAs ArtA VL H A. 5 OS.M The Alumni HPO that one of the founders of Missionary Institute, who is yet living, it may seem only a short time ago that that humble beginning which has since grown into this institution, set up its ideal and began its part of the world ' s work. Yet it is now a half -century since this school was founded under the name given above. At the time of its establishment in 1858 it was granted full university privileges. These privileges it did not, however, fully exercise until 1894, when it reorganized under its chartered rights, assumed the name Sus- quehanna University, and started out with an enlarged number of courses, with new aims and toward new purposes. But, nevertheless, during all the fifty years of its existence, it has kept up high grade classical and theological schools. It is of the graduates of these departments that this sketch deals more particularly. The character and ideals of a school have a great influence upon the char- acters and ideals of its students. This has been true of Susquehanna. The lives and work of her graduates have not been such as to reflect the least discredit upon their alma mater. Instead, they have been an honor to her and an encour- agement to her in her work. Perhaps it is the old ideal of Susquehanna, seen reflected in her first name, that still clings to her, for her aims have always been evangelical. With the enlargement of her activity and the expansion of her courses, she retained the old missionary spirit. Her mission is no longer to the heathen, but against all manner and forms of ignorance and vice wherever found. The ideal of usefulness, service in the cause of the right and opposition to evil, exemplified in her alumni is but the reflection of her own ideals and aspirations. As the phosphor escent particles in the sea, having bathed in the light of the glorious midday sun. in turn send forth their light and illuminate the darkness in the seething track of the great ocean liner, so the lines of Susquehanna ' s men, radiating forth again the light received from her, do brighten and make better elements in the turbulent stream of life as it heaves at the passing of this throb- bing, pulsating twentieth century progress. Susquehanna ' s students have attained eminence in many walks of life. Students from her halls may be found in the highest ranks of the theological profession, filling the most influential and useful offices in the church. Promi- nence in the legal and the medical profession has been won by Susquehanna ' s men. Some of her students are accomplishing excellent work in the teaching profession, bringing honor and credit to themselves and to the institution. The missionary ideal of the school has brought forth good results. The heathen of far-off Africa have heard the gospel from the lips of Susquehanna students. Business has claimed the lives of many, and the common walks of life are graced 5 by her sons. A few of her graduates are giving a large part of their time to athletics, in which they are doing commendable work. It is to the Alumni that the institution owes, in large measure, one of the finest equipped gymnasiums in central Pennsylvania. A word must be said of the graduates of the minor departments of the insti- tution. The oldest of these departments dates back no earlier than 1894. The schools of Expression and Art are not as largely attended as the other depart- ments, as they were more recently established, and because there is less demand for education of that kind. Yet some of the graduates of other departments owe much of their success to knowledge gained in courses offered by these. From the Conservatory of Music, the Academy and the School of Business, many graduates go out every year. These men and women are needed in the world as truly as are those of the more advanced departments, and because of their great numbers, they form an important constituent of those who represent Susquehanna in the world, and naturally they exercise a great influence. Many of the graduates of the Conservatory are already acquiring distinction in their chosen life ' s work. Others are making homes and communities brighter and more cheerful because of their talents developed here. Graduates of the Academy keep good standing in the college classes of this university and of other institutions. Students from the Business Department are doing successful work in this country, in Cuba and in Mexico. No names have been mentioned in this article for several reasons. In the first place the spac e allotted does not permit mention of many, and to give but a few of the illustrious names on the roll of Susquehanna ' s Alumni, would give an impression that there are but few to mention, which is untrue; and, morever, it would be unjust to many who could not be named and yet deserve notice for their prominence, as well as the others. Again, it is not fitting to mention individuals here, as only a superficial account of the life of each could be given on account of the limited space alloted. And finally, we have tried to refrain from stealing the thunder, in the least degree, of those who are preparing an alumni book which is to appear in the near future, and to which we confi- dently refer you.

History of Susquehanna University THE Rev. E. W- Hutter, D.D., in a eulogv on the life and character of Rev. Benj. Kurtz, D.D., LL.D., states that the original suggestion of the Missionary Institute came from a school established by Dr. Bogue, at Gosport, England, in 1789. The 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 forma- tion of the General Synod, with the founding of the Seminary at Gettysburg, for which he secured 812,000 in Europe, together with thousands of books, and placed the Lutheran Ob.sovrr on a firm basis, editing it for thirty years. 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 demand was his purpose in urging the establishment of this school. During the years 1854, 1855 and I85f , Dr. Kurtz continually used the editorial columns cf the Lutheran Observer, of which he was editor, to press on the Lutheran people the need and advantage of a Missionaiy 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 profourdly learned men, and there are neighborhoodsand 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 pur- sued — namely, that of searching for and sending out pious and sensible men as preachers, after a brief course of preparatory reading, our church would at this time be vastly larger, and present a much more encouraging aspect. Under the 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. Shaeffer. S. S. Wedekind. Jacob Fry and Reuben Hill. For the need voiced bv 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 storv of the Cross to our destitute churches, and preach repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus. Our mark is a Missionary Institute something like that estab- lished at Bastle. 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 laymen of decided talents and adequate mental discipline for the Gospel ministry. The institution is designed for the theological training of pious, strong-minded lav men, who are somewhat advanced in life, and men of families. The report was adopted and a committee of eminent ministers was appointed to carrv it into effect. Of this committee Rev. J. G. Butler, D.D., LL.D., Washington, D. C, is the only surviving member. The first meeting of this committee was held on Dec. 15. 1856, when it was resolved to locate the institution in Baltimore County, 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 theo- logical study it was added that provision may also be made by the managers for instruction in the various branches of an academical and scientific course. No formal appeal was yet made to the church, but the first donation, afterward followed bv other gifts from the same source, was of 810.00 from Mrs. S. E. Winter, widow of 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. At the second meeting of the Board, on Jan. 6, 1857, the resolution to locate in Baltimore County was rescinded, and Dr. Kurtz was elected Superintendent and Professor of Theology. At this meeting the Board ' s relation to the Synod was severed, owing to the proposed location outside the bounds of that Synod: the Board was also made self-perpetuating. 12 A number of places urged their claims and presented inducements for the location, but at a meeting of the Board. May J, 1.S58, in consideration of the fact that Selinsgrove, Pa., made offer of S15,ol2. this place was decided upon as the location. At a meeting held at Selinsgrove from May 12 to 14, 18S8, arrangements were made to open the Classical school in the brick building at the rear of Trinity Lutheran Church; this, with the use of the lecture room, was tendered to the Board by the congregation. The officers of the Board were: Pres., Dr. B. Kurtz; Vice-Presidents, Rev. S. Domer and Rev. H. Zeigler; Recording Secretary, Col. A. C. Simpson: Corresponding Secretary Rev. H. Zeigler; Treas., Jas. K. Davis. An announcement was made that the institution, so located, was ready to receive applications for admission. The Classical Department, under the man- agement of Prof. Theo. Weaver, assisted by Prof. W ' m. Noetlirg, was opened on June 14, 1858, and the Theological Department on Oct. 7, 1858. The former opened with about seventy- five students, the later began with twelve. Work was at once begun on the new building, now known as Selinsgrove Hall, which was completed in May, 1859. The course of study for the Theological Department was as follows: Biblical Archaeology, Mental Philosophy, Moral Philosophv, History, Hermeneutics, Exegesis, Catechetics, Systematic Divinity, Hom ' iletics, Chronology. Pastoral Theology, Church Gov- ernment and Missionary instruction. Rev. Henry Ziegler, D.D., was the head of the Theological Department from 185s to 1881. He also tilled the office of Superintendent or President after the death of Dr. Kurtz, from 1SM to 1881, when he relinquished his duties in connection with the institution. During the first year there were 133 students, twenty-six studying Theology and 107 in the Classical Department. 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, when he was elected Superintendent and first Theological Professor, and Rev. John B. Focht, Principal of the Classical Department. The latter resigning in 1882, Rev. J. R. Dimm was elected principal, serving in that position until 1894. Rev. P. Born. D.D., resigned the position of Superintendent in 1893, yet continued a professor until his death in 1899. Rev. F. P. Manhart, D.D., succeeded Dr. Born in 1893. In 1894 the building known as Gustavus Adolphus Hall was erected, the Junior and Senior years were added to the courses in the Classical Department, making it a full college; additional professors were secured, the title of Superintendent was changed to that of President and that of the school to Susquehanna University. Dr. Manhart resigned as President in 1895 and was succeeded by Rev. J. R. Dimm. D.D., who presided over the institution until his resignation in 1899, but continued as an active professor until 1906, when he became professor emeritus. In the fall of 1899 Rev. C. W. Heisler, A.M., of Denver, Col., was chosen President, enter- ing on the duties of his position in November of the same year. Various changes and additions were made to the courses of study, of these the most important was the establishing of the Department 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 vear, under the supervision of Prof. Wm. Noetling, A.M. In 1901 Dr. Heisler resigned and Dr. Woodruff was elected dean, assuming the duties of President of the Collegiate Department, while Rev. Jacob Yutzv, D.D., acted as dean of the Theological Department. During this period the Commercial Course was added. Rev. Geo. W. Enders, D.D., of York, Pa., was elected President in 1902 and it was dur- ing his term of office that the Almni Gymnasium was added to our group of buildings. Dr. Enders remained President of the institution until 1904, when he resigned and was succeeded by Rev. John B. Focht, D.D., of Selinsgrove. He remained in office but one year, when, upon his resignation. Rev. Charles T. Aikens. D.D., was elected and continues in the office to the present time. Brief and fragmentary as the historical sketch of this school is, we mav yet learn from it that God inspired worthy, consecrated men with the idea of the Missionary Institute and blessed them in their work. ' Thev 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. 13 College Directory President ' s Office Hours: 9:00 to 12:00 A.

Especially is this true when that work is assigned to one who was not con- tinuously connected with the class during the four successive school years. Writing from the standpoint of a member of the class, words of commenda- tion or of criticism are equally out of place. It is the humble lot of the writer to present briefly such information and words of encouragement as will probably prove to be of interest to the general reader as well as an incentive to noble deeds and lofty aspirations to every member of his class. Since a Senior Class history is a record of the events that take place during a college course, let us then for a few moments indulge in retrospection. In the Fall of 1904, nearly a score of young men and young women entered the Fresh- man Class of Susquehanna University. Every one of them had bright anticipa- tions of the future. These anticipations they have realized in proportion as they have made use of the opportunities that were presented to them. The year rap- idly passed by without any incident destined to mar the fair record of the class. During the Sophomore and Junior years, some members of the preceding year were missing but others filled their places with equal credit. Silently and yet with absolute certainty the year 1908 has arrived. Now for the fourth and last time, the class of fourteen members will make its appearance in The Eanthorn. After years of varied experiences, pleasant and otherwise, its members draw near to the end of their college course. Undoubtedly during these years, many obstacles and many discouragements were encountered, yet by the earnest and sincere efforts of every one, the class is rapidly approaching its much-coveted goal. During the last year, there were many pleasant associations and recollections that shall ever remind the class of the delightful days spent at Susquehanna. No more will the class wander about the hills of the surrounding country, or along the banks of the historical river from which the institution bears her name. Others will ramble about and gaze upon these familiar scenes. Many of the class have taken an active part in athletics during their entire college course. These have brought great honors to their classmates and to the several athletic boards. Society and class work have likewise not been neglected, and it is earnestly hoped that in years to come, each one will do credit to himself and to his Alma Mater, in whatever calling or profession in life that he may choose to follow. Commencement is almost here. In a short time each one will be ushered out into an active and busy world, to bear life ' s burdens and responsibilities. Fond Alma Mater, Farewell. May all make good use of the training and instruction received at thy hands as they launch their frail barks upon the uncertain sea of life. That the entire class in years to come will prove to be loyal sons and daughters of Susquehanna is the humble prayer of the historian. 24 Senior Prophecy 5 -pWAS on a cold day in the month of February — that final extra day of that month, which, ■ ■ giving them incomparable opportunities for initiative, made old maids happy thruout the memorable year. 1908, because exactly divisibleby 4 (no ciphers being necessary in this case) — when the writer, the duly recognized prophet of the Naughty-eights, reclining in his cosy-corner in the palace which has been the dedicated dwelling-place of several former prophets, allowing his imagination to play upon spirits, wise and otherwise, finally entered into that mes- meric state fittingly designated as clairvoyance. He imagined himself sitting among the chiefs of the divinities, with their subordinates, in the rear of a great oracle which rivaled that of Apollo at Delphi as well as that of Diana at Ephesus in magnificance and splendor. In one of the inner recesses of this temple (oracle) was a large vault containing thousands, yes, tens of thousands, of scrolls, whereon the private scribes during all ages had written the predicted destinies of men. Looking at the indices of the different apartments of the vault 1 was suddenly startled to see one headed: Class of nineteen-eight. of Susquehanna University in the Year of Our lord nineteen-thirty. ••Divination Fee— Paid. Introducing myself as a member of that class, in my eagerness 1 asked for permission to read the contents of the scroll contained in that apartment, whereupon one of the scribes referred me to one of the principal diviners. He demanded my name and after I had told him all about my past career he said that in order to supply the ripe wants of my curiosity he would break a custom, provided that I would pay a nominal fee. Not hesitating for a single moment I readily paid the fee. whereupon he told me to place both hands upon a large metallic table which was near by and which had been covered by an asbestos casket. Immediately I felt myself trans- formed and, if not transmigrated, transported to the year nineteen hundred and thirty, A. D. Being in a state of complete mesmerism, which was as changeable as are the phases of the dif- ferent satellites throughout the entire solar system, I first of all imagined that 1 was walking down the street of one of our medium sized American cities when finally my eyes beheld the following notice on a large bay window: Studio of free-hand drawing and pyrography. all Kinds of artistic Painting in Water Colors, etc. SCHOCH CO. Glancing for a few moments at some of the beautiful designs in the window, my attention was suddenly arrested by a young lady passing by on the inside. Her face seemed familiar to me and so I ventured in to satisfy my curiosity, and there, seated by a large table, whom should 1 find but the personage that I at once identified as my former classmate. She was engaged in finishing a large portrait and did not recognize me until her hubby. who was watching the 25 smoke curl from his meerschaum, exclaimed, By Jabbers! is this you? 1 could no longer doubt, for who should it have been but Freddie and the charming Mary Edna. No time having been allotted me other than for a formal introduction 1 was immediately snatched into an abyss of the unknown. Passing over hills and thru vales I finally came to a small hamlet, which was hermetically enclosed by hemlock and underbrush on each side. Here 1 encountered what seemed to me an old philosopher, with two-foot beard, followed by about two dozen young men from the different sections of the hamlet, all listening attentively to the stories of nature as he was expounding them. He wore no coat and when I politely inquired for his name they told me that originally it was Reed, but because of the most characteristic trend of his nature, aitho counteracted somewhat by the most conspicuous part of his apparel, he now bore the name Soc, in honor of the great philosopher of the Greeks. Without time for further inquiry 1 was spontaneously transferred to the county seat of one of the counties of our western states. Accompanying a number of young men on an automobile tour around the town we passed a large, delicately adorned, modernized mansion. Here, one of the company exclaimed, is where the county superintendent of public instruction resides. One of them wishing to see the professor concerning matters relating to his own interest, we turned back. 1 found the mansion was occupied by one whom 1 had known during my school days. It was Dunkie Be Gorie, seated in his study with wife and five children. But ere I had time to speak 1 lost my foothold and away 1 flew, I know not how. Mv next pause was beyond the wide, wide seas, over in the land of the moslems, when my heart ached because 1 felt so lonely. Soon, however, I heard a voice which sounded famil- iar, and looking back my heart overflowed with joy when 1 beheld my old friend. J. D., earnestly engaged in spreading the gospel tidings to the heathen. Nor was he alone in his work, but he had taken unto himself a loving wife, who was a co-laborer with him. There, in that lonely land, he was striving, with a heart sincere, to satiate the constant appeals of the directing power within him. An instant, and I was walking up the streets of London, when 1 encountered an unusually agitated crowd in the square. 1 soon discovered that it was an open air revival service. I tar- ried for some time. On a large veranda of a building, on the opposite corner, was an orchestra. After the rendition of several artistic selections by the orchestra, the speaker of the evening was introduced, after which 1 beheld a young man of tine physique, tho greatly Mollified, stepping upon the platform, and, lo and behold! it was Shikey who revealed the Spotts of the world. But in a flash I was transferred to the opposite section of the metropolis. I stopped at a large hotel and after eating my dinner some of the guests invited me to accompany them to the matinee. I heartily accepted the invitation. After a succession of events on the stage I was startled to see the form of one who possessed all the idiosyncrasies of another of my former classmates In a moment another made his appearance, which was none the less startling, and looking at a programme, which was handed me, 1 saw the names: Profs. Geo. Birchfield Mac Piter and Jno. Jeremiah Houtz in their wonderful feats of magic, including necromancy and incantation. 1 now felt the need of a tonic to ease the aching pains within, for my nerves were all but unstrung by this time. 1 was again tossed across the heinous deep and landed in one of the west- ern cities of the bad lands of the Dakotas. I lay down in my private apartment of the hotel to take a nap but was suddenly aroused by a great commotion on the street. 1 went to the win- dow, when I beheld a man, with neatly trimmed beard, make the following announcement in sonorous tones: The Great Wonder of the World — Hypnotist. Somnambulist. Fakir, Bluffer and Snake Charmer. Could this be deception? No, for in a moment I perceived it was my old friend, Robert App. Content with my exalted position above the rest I patiently awaited 26 further proceedings when a neatlv dressed specimen of humanity, partially covered with dia- monds, made his appearance. Ladies and gentlemen, he said, I desire your attention first of all to the feats I am about to perform with the viper and boa constrictor. This was sufficient for 1 was convinced in the twinkling of an eye that it was my old-time associate, Moyeribus. Two more events next in quick succession, but my nervous system was by this time so nearly exhausted that I can scarce recall them. Musser. a traveling lecturer on the science of chicken farming, almost totally mabeliverlined, tho happy with his family and his millions; Sunday, a notable author on the art of catching a particular specie or fish, is all space will per mit me to explain, tho I should gladly enter into detail, orally, should you desire to know. During the transition from a state of semi-consciousness to that of reality. I heard the angelic voice of a world-famed poetess and writer of fiction. My conscience began to ease, the day grew bright, and all about was marked with perfect serenity and harmony. Beware, good classmates, lest you fail to discover your proper spheres in life, and the rela- tions you sustain to the world, for the above is in all probability compatible with the for- ordained. PROPHET. 27 Senior Poem I ' ve just been thinking as I sat, That history ' s quite a treat. It tells about the old folks And things which they did meet. Yes, history ' s quite the greatest thing; It breaks down every span, And takes you back thru all the world, To but a single man. It tells about the human race-, Its origin and fall, It tells about redeeming grace That ' s offered unto all. It tells about some pleasant things, It tells about some sad; It tells about some good things, It tells about some bad. And history is of many kinds; — Not all in printed page; — For much of history now exists Within the human race. And every where is history made; (Not all in printed form); But still we find some record kept Of all who brave the storm. And not of human kind alone Does history make a note; Our Alma Mater, soon to be, Sails also in time ' s boat. Yes, year by year, as time rolls on, A class to history goes; And now the time is almost ripe When we shall take repose. What! Do you say four years have passed ? O, short years they have been! Yes, it does seem but few short days, Since ' 08 ' s wore the green. What of the history of this class, As it is laid in store, To be a landmark on the sand Of Susquehanna ' s shore? 28 Dear classmates, as we retrospect, How do the pages seem ? Does all stand clear, or as of old, So sad; It might have been? But hark ! the history of the past Beyond redemption lies; But may our history yet to be Endure beyond the skies. And may our parting from S. U. Not see our most begun; But may our stations in the world Proclaim a rising sun. And when death ' s garner comes at last, To claim us one by one. May the summons come to all, Well done, my faithful son. And since we are a milestone class At Susquehanna ' s door, May we bear her banner forth With ardent zeal the more. When fifty more the years shall be, If seme may yet remain. May Susquehanna ' s history glow Like diamonds all aflame. And may her sons and daughters then Be found upon all shores; And may class Nineteen-fiftv-cight Be numbered by the scores. Not only numbers may she have. But sturdy progeny, To labor on while time shall last; The next, eternity. And classmates dear, tho we may part To meet here never more. If such a spirit we may have To fill us to the core, There is no need that we should sigh As we dissolve our band; For we may hope some day to meet And join each hand in hand. —Poet ' ox. 29 Class of Nineteen-Nine Motto: - Flower: Colors: Esse quam videri American Beauty Rose White and Blue Yell Cis-ci!

He is always placarded This side up so that you can make no mistakes. George was always exemplary till he was stricken by the darts of Amour. Since then he leaves his happy home quite often and treks toward the Dorm. George is a skillful acrobat and juggles the transit and calculus with the greatest ease.

' ' Tommy ' ' The fruit of loyal nature and of noble mind. — Tennyson In the confines of the little hamlet of Selins-stettle, where sauerkraut and limburger grow wild, there was born a few years ago this promising specimen. Tommy passed thru the public schools and the Prep. Department at a 2:40 clip and now rests in his palmy days in the shade of the old apple tree. His childlike countenance and winning ways are a delight to his parents, from whom he has never ventured, while his unconscious humor oft enlivens the class. Just why Tommy should come to college is not quite clear, but it is evidently as a preparation for gin slinging or fancy cuspidor renovating. However he may change and become an evangelist. :(4 Schuyler G. Irwin Schuyler, Pa. ' ' Polonius 1 ' O learned judge ! — mark, Jew — a learned judge ! — Shakespeare Far from the trammeling circumstances of civilization Polonius grew to manhood. Wild and savage has he always been, although for the last few years he has calmed down considerably. He is usually to be seen near Curran and acts as the arbiter of the class. Notice the learned expression on his face. Next year he expects to run for Judge of the Supreme Court, and practices daily on the track in the gym. He has lately taken upon himself the care and guidance of a Dormitory lamb and spends much time at the pasture. Teaching was to have been his profession but no one knows just what he ' ll turn out to be, may be a patie — that is, an attendant in an insane asylum. 35 H. K. SCHOCH Danville, Pa. Deacon ' ' His pipe was in his mouth. — Longfellon At the opening of the last school year there wandered onto the campus a tall, thin gawky looking youth who seemed to have just torn himself from his mama. No one knew whence he came or whither he was bound. Quiet is no name for his actions at first, but alas ! how changed. Each day he walks about the campus with a large pipe and a new necktie of seventeen colors. Between times he goes to class. He is positively the greatest bluffer on record and his innocent face deceives many a Prof. Unwinding his legs, which twist twice around the chair, he slowly rises and for ten minutes spiels like an orator. By this time the Prof, is black and blue in the face and gives him a good mark. Truly it is wonderful to what extent deception can be pushed. Deacon intends to be a leading pillar in the church, but it is probable that he will never be able to support anything — not even a wife. 36 GRACE A. GEISELMAN Hanover. Pa. Toots Dutch Oh, she melted the hearts Of the swains in them parts. — Lever ' Tis strange how often in life one comes upon a modest flower, nestling in a shady covert beside a babbling brook. Dutch is not one of this kind, however. The stream has to be quiet while she does the babbling, and she certainly does it with a vengeance. Even the Profs have to take her in hand occasionally, but that does not bother Toots. She is as happy as the day is long; always ready to help another out of difficulty. She is very indulgent and often poses as a model in blushing for the psychology class. Her chief wish is to be the wife of an African missionary, so that she can mind some black pickaninnies, or else to marry a rich brewer. No one knows which it will be — time alone can tell. 3? MERVYN J. ROSS Friedens, Pa. Paddy God bless the man who first invented sleep. — Cervantes When in the fullness of time, Paddy took his first peep at the world there was a great commotion, such as usually attends the arrival of great persons. The heavens were split — mostly with Paddy ' s cries, and even the son stood still — or perhaps we had better say — lay still. One unfortunate circumstance was that he was born with his eyes partly closed and he keeps them in that position most of the time. In skating, snoring and driving a gentle plug of tobacco; there is no one that can excel him. His sober face is pleasant to the eye, his voice melodious to the ear; in fact, his whole frame is tuned to the great harmony — sleep. We have not yet decided what he shall hereafter do, but it will be either crocheting or messenger boy, neither of which require much wakefulness. May he sleep the sleep of the just. 38 ANDREW C. CURRAN Felton, Pa. ' ' Possum ' ' The kindest man, The best conditioned and unwearied spirit. — Shakespeare Fortune hath indeed been kind for she hath given us this promising young man who hails from the wild and wooly regions of Wurtzbergerland. Quiet and unassuming is he, yet he holds his head proudly erect and converses in a voice that sounds like a cross between a bass viol and a violin. Possum gets his name from his habit of apparent snoozing, tho it is as hard to find him off his guard as to catch a weasel asleep. Like many others, Andy intends to make of himself a dainty morsel for some cannibal. But who knows — he may take the office of Police Inspector of Selinsgrove. Reuel l. Walter Middleburg, Pa. Rot Kopf Dub An harmless flaming meteor shone for hair, And fell adown his shoulders with loose care. — Cowley Alack ! what a task lies before me. I know not where to start. ' Twere easier by far to climb Mount Blanc or discover the North Pole than to outline the course of this applicant for the fun shop. He thinks he is funny and that makes it all the worse. His attempts woidd make a horse laugh, while his own sweet laughter sounds like a row of tin cans being hit with a stick. But after all there are some redeeming features. One is that he has red hair. If there is one thing that the Dub wants, it is to get out into the world, to strive with other men and so build up a name. His occupation, since he wants to strive, will probably be that of the pick and shovel, tho it may turn out to be the stone pile. -Id WILLIAM M. GAYLOR Rosecrans. Pa. Bill On a rock bound reef of unbelief There sat the wild negation, There it fell and rose and sank again. But ne ' er reached true confirmation. Last, but not least, comes Bill, the only Bill in the class. But that does in no way deter him from asking all the questions that he can possibly scrape up. He is a living interrogation point. He is a hot potato when it comes to teaching, and has even had the presumption to teach a high school. It rather grates on him to do such things, but after all he does. It is a pity that he is forever raising a discussion two minutes before the class period is ended, but one cannot choose: he must take what comes. Bill is still undecided and lingers between the positions of Prohibition orator and an impounder of dogs. 41 Junior Class History a T the opening of the school year of 1905, Susquehanna was more than gratified by the ■ ■ prospects that dawned upon her, in the advent within her college halls, of that select and splendid body of students, known as the class of 1909; and passing time has fully dem- onstrated that old S. U. had every reason for her feeling of pride and gratification in that val- iant and indomitable class. Her members had come from varied walks of life; some had left the farm, some the workshop and others the schoolmaster ' s desk, to prepare themselves for the fight of life in the different professions and callings. Her members are looking forward to lives of usefulness and service in the pulpit, in the lawyer ' s office and in the schoolroom. Class matters began to assume a position of importance early in the year. While our class did not equal our superiors (?) — the Sophs, either in numbers or brute strength, we gave them all they were looking for in spirit and determination. On the morning of Oct. 4, 1905, our valiant class unfurled to the breeze their ensign — the Blue and White. This was surprising to the Sophs for they had believed that their overpower- ing numbers would completely overawe the little band of Freshmen, but they had reckoned with- out their host. After many conferences and mutual attempts at encouragement they started out with trembling hearts and shaking limbs against our array. Not having faith in their ability as combatants, they armed themselves with flour, attempting to blind the eyes of the noble Fresh- men, but they were repulsed in rush after rush, the class of 1909 showing that they could main- tain their standard in the face of the most stupendous odds. The Sophs soon made themselves ridiculous again in their attempt to set up a code of rules that the Freshmen should observe. They could not help but recognize the splendid and superior qualities of the class of ly09, and they thought by their superior numbers they would be able to keep the lower classmen in subjection to themselves, but the Sophs only succeeded in making themselves appear ridiculous, for we treated their rules with disdain and contempt. The most pleasing event of the year was the class banquet, held at Middleburg, January 3, 1906. A strenuous attempt to prevent it was made by the Sophs, but all without avail. As usual the class of 1909 emerged triumphant and was soon gathered around the festive board, en- joying the bounteous repast. The occasion was one of mingled pleasure and enjoyment and remains a pleasing memory in the minds of those who participated in the happy event. The Fall term of 1906 was ushered in under the most happy circumstances. The personnel of the class of 1909 was somewhat changed. Some of the former members had dropped from the ranks but new ones had come to take their places, all earnestly cooperating in loyal devo- tion to the Blue and White. We soon saw the grave responsibilities reposing upon us on account of our advance in the college ranks. To our kind and beneficent guardianship was given the oversight of an espec- ially verdant aggregation of Freshmen. They seemed to be entirely ignorant of all the tradi- tions and customs of a well regulated college community. They, early in the term, assumed that they had the right to wear their colors and proceeded to do so, but we very kindly showed them the error of their ways by calmly removing from their persons the obnoxious hues. On October 7, after much fear and trembling, they cautiously hid their colors among the branches of a tree on the campus. When we were ready we went out and proceeded to chastise 43 them in a manner that soon brought fear upon the powers that be. They began to fear that unless the affair was stopped Susquehanna would be without a Freshman class, so the honor, majesty and power of the faculty was exercised in declaring that the attack should cease. The class of 1909, ever obedient to the properly constituted authorities, bowed to the inevit- able and ceased operations upon the exhausted band of Freshmen, by so doing securing the vic- tory. On the 7th of February the class of 1909 again gathered within the banquet halls, this time at the Hotel Gillaspv. Danville, Pa. Every member of the class was present and all had a royal time, in partaking of the sumptuous array of viands that stacked the festal board and in participating and listening to the toasts given by the various members of the class. Our class won renown on the basket ball floor in that we won the college championship, for both the Freshman and Junior teams went down in defeat before the gallant Sophomore five. This was gratifying for it clearly showed that the followers of the Blue and White were able to successfully compete in all lines of college activity. In the course of the year two of our members reflected credit and honor upon their class. One was appointed a naval cadet to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, winning the competitive examination over the heads of two other contestants. Another very ably and creditably represented his college in the Inter-Collegiate Prohibition Oratorical Contest, win- ning second place. A member of our class also represented the college Y. M. C. A. at the Student Conference, Northfield, Mass., in the summer of 1907. Vacation again came to us and it is a noteworthy fact every member of our class was busv arning money in order to be ready for the coming Junior year. The fall of 1907 found us back again within the walls of dear old S. U. We were now Juniors, inheriting new responsibilities and duties. As we look back upon the road we have trodden thus far in the college course we believe we are safe in saying that there is no class that excels us in scholarship and adherence to the highest college ideals. That class is best which makes the most of its opportunities, to be of the most service to itself and its Alma Mater. That class only will reflect credit upon its college, which chooses a plain line of duty and then adheres unswervingly to that rule. The class of 1909 has aimed to attain these things. It has busied itself in the varied activities of the college community and in no department does it need to take a subordinate place. We feel then that we dare look back with pride and satisfaction upon our course thus far and we look forward with confidence to the future, knowing that there is a secure place for him who knows his duty and performs it manfully and earnestly. HISTORIAN ' 09 44 Junior Poem On the campus of old S. U., In the fall of nineteen-five, A youthful band of Freshmen appeared. That was pleasing to the eye. Tho small our number was, We resolved with one voice, That thruout our entire college career, Esse quat?i videte of mottoes should be our choice. Since then the hours have flown, And many an evil denied, But always have we endeavored to live The life that our motto implied. Freshmen days vanished all too soon, With their hours of verdant fun. And ere we thought the work commenced, All the sand of the year was run. The basic studies of those first terms Was mastered after many a fight. As the midnight oil was no small item That kept expenses from being light. Next was Sophomore year, With its many wondrous blessings, The greatest of all in logic was. When Minerva visited human beings. Ages have gone and ages will come And long we great deeds will remember, But never again will collegians be startled, As we on that Ninth of November. Oft had we heard the wise men say. That earth never now sees the gods, But down from above the great goddess came; As for the rest — ask the dogs. 45 During midwinter basketball, To be mastered by us had come, After many a pass and many a goal, They said ' 09 had won. Then when exams were over, And Juniors we were called, They gave us the good old L,anthorn, Of profits shorn and bald. And while we edit these pages, As tho with a magic wand, Remember ' tis but a stepping stone, To the fields of work beyond. Thus, classmates, as we strive today, L,et each of us remember, That the victories of life all depend, On efforts without number. And as we labor to win the goal, So will we be rewarded, As to ourselves we have been true In every deed attempted. And as thru the world we go. Let us battle for the right, Always uphold and never forsake The grand old Blue and White. 46 Class of Nineteen-Ten Motto: Flower: Colors: Aut vincere aut mori Black-eyed Susan Orange and Black Yell Hureux !

Quite a few were entering the college department directly from the preparatory department, while others assembled from high schools and other preparatory schools scattered throughout the United States. Upon close examination the freshmen were found to be a very promising group of young men and women. We soon became well acquainted with each other and all were well satisfied with their fellow classmates. By being congenial to one another and loyal to the class, we soon had organized a very staunch and amicable class. Thus we spent our freshman year, having many adventures and spending many pleasant times together. When the Spring term closed we laid aside our books and began to look especially after our physical advancement while we allowed our minds to recuperate. After spending an extremely pleasant and profitable vacation we returned with more vim and determination than ever. Three of our worthy members did not return, but they were substituted by three others who have proven themselves equally competent. This substitution left us as Sophomores with the unlucky number, thirteen, in our class. However, this number has not thus far proven unlucky to us. Instead we have given our opposing classes so much trouble that it rather appears to be unlucky for them. After organizing our Sophomore class we soon settled down to studying once more. We felt it our fatherly duty to look after the welfare of the inexperienced and churlish group of human beings who were entering the Freshmen class. Upon investigation it was learned that their verdant president had influenced his father, Prexy, to enroll about one half the preparatory students under the head of Freshmen. Some of them had not even attended a Preparatory school but were entering college from country schools. Seemingly the only requirement to enter Freshman was that the applicant should be able to recite Bible or Rhetoricals with the Freshmen class. With all their planning and schem- ing they succeeded in securing fourteen persons whom they called Freshmen, but most of whom should have entered the First Year Preparatory class with conditions. We thought that after enlisting such a conglomeration of beings they might have the courage to attempt to deviate from the Freshmen rules, but such was not the case. Days and weeks passed by and the Freshmen continued to be as obedient as lambs. Not once did they overstep their rules. They were too timid to wear their colors, fearing that they might be injured when we should take them off. Finally they decided to put up their pennant, more to hide the shame they should experience in not putting it up, than to display their courage in putting it up. They remained awake one night and after the midnight hour raised their pole far from the Dormitories, thinking that no one would hear them, but they were so awkward and clumsy about getting out of their rooms that all the sleepers were awakened. We allowed them to hoist their pennant undisturbed, but as soon as we perceived it the following morning we prepared to teach them a few points in capturing pennants. After putting on old clothes we bravely descended the dormitory stairs and were just in the act of making the onslaught when our famous peace-making faculty interfered. Prexie was very sorry for this and assistant Prexie was afraid some one might get injured. The Senior and Junior Classes had fixed a code of rules regulating the flag scrap, 50 but seemingly the dull and flimsy brains of the Freshmen could not understand them. At any rate they failed to comply with the rules and the Faculty would allow no scrapping until they would comply. Here they saw a chance to avoid the scrap by acting cowardly. They declared that they would obey no rules except those thev made for themselves. Our position is plain to be seen. We waited in terrible suspense for them to agree to the rules or for the Faculty to allow us to make our attack — but in vain. The Freshmen were too anxious to avoid us to pay any attention to rules and, not daring to attack them until they did so, we were forced to be satisfied in knowing that their pennant would have been ours had not the Faculty interfered. When they could no longer stand the strain upon their eyes, of looking at their horrible colored rag, they took it down and raised in its place a figure resembling themselves so closely that they became confused and almost hoisted a Freshman instead of the effigy. They then applied a match to their toy and while it burned they danced around it and clapped their hands like little children around a Christmas tree. Things went along very smoothly for a while until the time came for the Freshman banquet. We were alert and found out when and ' where they intended going. However they were too cowardly to try and escape by their own skill and strategy so they sought the aid of the Railroad Police force. They had several detectives stay around town and at the depot to guard their departure. By scraping their pockets and borrowing all the money they were able, they finally secured sufficient funds to carry them several miles out of town tto Mifflinburg) where they held what they called their banquet. After arriving at the hotel they seated themselves at an old table of the store box style. The landlord cast an observing glance at them and then ordered the waiters to serve them nursing bottles, thinking this the most appropriate lunch for them. How- ever they wished to show that they were big boys so they asked for milk soup and pink tea instead. After finishing this lunch they played a few games of dominoes and retired. They returned next day, thinking they had done something truly wonderful. Several days later we took leave of our books to indulge in the pleasant pastime of feasting. We had no police protection, nor did we need it. but by simply using a little strategy we, accom- panied by our Fair Ones, left for the beautiful city of Williamsport. We banqueted at the magnificent Park Hotel and our menu contained all the good things to eat and drink one could name. The meal was of such quality that not even kings could ask anything better. After our physical beings had been well supplied we retired to the parlor, where an extremely interesting and instructive entertainment was enacted by various members of the class. We succeed in athletics as well as in class affairs. Four members of the Varsity football team and two members of the Varsity basket ball team were Sophomores. When our inter- class basket ball games are played we will step aside for none. That we will win the college championship is believed and vouched for by nearly everybody. We feel that we are filling the ranks left vacant by the classes preceding us very compe- tently and if we continue to make advances in our remaining years here as we have in the past, we will certainly leave S. U. with the feeling that we have done our duty and with a preparation for life ' s work that will stand the test of ages. HISTORIAN. 51 Sophomore Poem Like the passing of the daytime Has our first year fleeted by, With our motto e ' er before us To conquer or to die. Here we ' ve stormed the forts of wisdom, Here engaged in learnings strife, Here we ' ve laid the firm foundation For the battlements of life. Ever onward, ever upward Has our course been from the first; At the deep Pierian fountain Have we quenched our burning thirst. All along our college pathway We have stood for truth and right. And whatever needed courage Saw us always in the fight. In our flag contests and banquets We have never lagged behind, And a braver band than we are, You may search for, but ne ' er find. Many were the trials and troubles That we Freshmen overcame, And as Sophomores in college Have we tried to carve our name On the rock that marks the progress Of our class so tried and true. And at parting we shall cherish Memories dear of old S. U. 52 Class of Nineteen-Eleven Motto: Flower: Colors: Virtute non verbis Pink Carnation Orange and Blue Yell Zipparappa ! Zipparappa ! Zip !

We have taken our stand as strong and ambitious Freshmen, and we know full well that the Freshman class forms the foundation for the future success of the col- lege. For as the Freshman is, so will the graduate be. We have taken our stand as a class, fourteen in number, all strong and ambitious Freshman, all trying to do our duty as best we know how, hoping to be directed to the right by the wise and learned ' Sophs. They knew how because they had been directed and led the previous year. But such was not the case. We waited for instructions but none came. So on a bright moonlight night, the 18th of October, we placed our grand and glorious pennant on a small pole. The size of the pole was reduced to ten feet in order to give the cowardly Sophs a chance. When morning dawned the Sophs were surprised to see the work that was accomplished during the night. After breakfast they prepared for a dress parade in which they tried to look as fierce as possible, but of no avail. Nine o ' clock came and our pennant was still there. Then a wise Soph suggested that they petition the faculty for help, but the desired help was not secured, and the Sophs were shaking in their very boots as they saw the gallant band ready to defend the Orange and Blue. At last they fled to their rooms in fear and disgust. Fleven o ' clock, the time at which the pennant was to be taken down, had come, and the Freshmen lowered their banner as a shout of victory rent the air. An image of the Sophs was raised to the top of the pole and burned in effigy, much to the displeasure of the Sophs. One of the most memorable days in our collegiate year was January 30th, 1908. This was the day of our first annual banquet, and it was a day long to be remembered by all the members of the class. Not as a fleeing, but as the conqueror, we marched to the station with not a Soph in sight. They had been frightened away and were not to be seen anywhere. We were free to wander about, so when the appointed time came we were all at the station and still no enemy in sight. So we came to the conclusion that we were masters of the situation. We boarded the car and were soon spinning across the beautiful Susquehanna. The evening found us at the Deckard House. Mifflinburg. We spent the early part of the evening very pleasantly. At ten o ' clock we entered the banquet hall and surrounded a sumptuously laden table. Amid fun and toasts the menu was served, after which we entered the parlor where the night was far spent in the rendering of an excellent program of readings and music. The next morning we returned home after having enjoyed ourselves in every way possible. This is only a part of our history. Among the members of our class are those who will some day become makers of history, but they would not relish to have the full story of their college days told at present. So kind reader we would ask you to wait for further information until the biographies of these men will be published in full. HISTORIAN. 56 Freshman Poem In the middle of September, In the Fall of nineteen-seven, Is the time all will remember When came the class of nineteen- ' leven. We were strangers all could see, In the way we moved around; On the walks and in the class, we Scarcely ever made a sound. Freshmen, well I guess we be. We may seem green to you; But, by good cultivating, we Hope soon great things to do. Yet we felt so very small And in the ranks we were so low, We were Freshmen, that was all, Yet we hoped our minds would grow. Our friends (?) the Sophs, as you all know, Thought they ' d have everything their way, And make us stand around just so When came that awful great class day. And when they ' woke one morning, When the grass was wet with dew, Something was the breeze adorning ' Twas the flag of Orange and Blue. And the class were all in line, These brave colors to defend And to stand there just so fine ' Till the scrap came to an end. And now the Sophs lost all their sand. Their strength and power, it was not true; They could not do as they had planned, So gave up to the Orange and Blue. Victory! cried the Freshmen all, And the proud Sophs crept slow away; Victory, sounded through the hall, For the Freshmen won the day. And now when came that feasting day, We went away to have our treat. The Sophs thought they would us delay, But landed at the county seat. Now, O Freshmen! Let us work, As we have done before, And never from our duty shirk Until our davs are o ' er. POET, ' it 57 c eg; zMgtf2 Instructors Instructors ' Biographies A . N.

Then we see a lonely person. Who from others seems apart, At each burst of boisterous laughter We see him give a start. Or whenever anybody Grows a little more loud Than usual; then his features Seem to pass beneath a cloud. And he looks in holy horror On the noisy chattering throng, And seems censuring each action As if everything was wrong. ' Tis the theologue before us, Who pursues his lonesome way And in silence views the tumult, Nor e ' er mingles in the fray. Could we catch him once, however, When no one is around, We would find that he is human And no worse one can be found. But in company he ' s sober.

In its most general character, as implying the public expres- sion of opinion and feeling in language at once fitting, clear, and ornate, oratory, like poetry, is an eternal concomitant of human life, activity, and progress. The orator has a present, practical purpose to accomplish. If he fails in that, he fails utterly and altogether. His object is to convince the understanding, to persuade the will, to set aflame the heart of the audience or those who read what he says. He speaks for a present occasion. Eloquence is the feather that tips his arrow. If he miss the mark he is a failure, although his sentences may survive everything else in the permanent lit- erature of the language in which he speaks. What he says must not only accom- plish the purpo se of the hour, but should be fit to be preserved for all time, or he can have no place in literature, and but a small and ephemeral place in human memory. Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue. Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently; for in the very torrent, tempest, and, as I may say, the whirlwind of pas- sion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that will give it smoothness. Be not too tame neither, but let your own discretion be your tutor; suit the action to the word, the word to the action; with this special observance, that you o ' erstep not the modesty of nature; for anything so done is from the purpose. —SHAKESPEARE 78 School of Expression Roll Margaret Benner Margaret Berie Adam Bland Mary Esther Burns Grace Campbell Horace Christmau J.

The history of the Commercial Department for the past two years should be especially commented upon, owing to the fact that a large percentage of the grad- uates have met with great success. We have this year a class, some of whom have received an excellent academic training before entering the Commercial, which alone is sufficient to enable them to make a start and to hold their own with the aveiage man who enters the com- mercial world. Together with an academic training, a business education should, and will, if an ordinary amount of diligence is exercis-ed on the part of the student, be a good guarantee for tuccess during his business career. Business methods in this enlightened age demand a young man or woman to specialize so that he or she may be able to cope with ihose who are at present carrying on the business in a systematic manner The world dees net demand that you become a great scholar in order to be a success, but it does demand that you aim at some ideal, and if this ideal is for a business career then you should be thoroughly familiar with the different n ethods that are used in carrying en a successful business. We must learn to be competent in some one thing, to do that thing better than any one else has ever done it. It makes no difference what the task may be. or how humble. The cry for competent men, for competent women, is loud and universal. The much-used American expression that ' s good enough is the cause of nine-tenths of the failures of men and women. If you notice the people who in hard times lose their positions you will see that they are invariable the persons who have only half fitted themselves for the position, the position which they are supposed to fill, but which in reality they only hold. The aim of the Commercial Department is competency . One man may be a lawyer, another a minister, a third a business man, and another perhaps a despised ditch digger, but the one who is competent in his particular line of work is the one that will have success written after his name — competency spells success. We have at this Institution a Commercial Department that is second to none. The teachers are experts in their line and are ever ready to help the student when confronted with difficulties. The school is equipped so that when the student enters he not only receives the theory, but also the practice, which is the most essential part of the course. The members of the Commercial class have not only always been noted for their long and persistent hours of study, but also for their athletic men, several who have stood among the highest in foot-ball, basket-ball, base-ball and gym- nastic feats. So let us hope that the class of ' 08, whose motto is Onward and Upward, will meet with great success after they have entered into actual business, and may they not forget that a word from them to those who intend entering a Business School, will be an effective advertisement. —HI8TORIA X ' OS 82 $ Mf«.

The Y. M. C. A. was organized November 27. 1SS6. On that day a mass meeting was called with the object of determining whether or not Susquehanna University (then known as Missionary Institute) should have a Y. M. C. A. Mr Schultz was chosen president pro tern, and, after considering the question for a short time, the Y. M. C. A. was established with fifteen charter members. The Association was then regularly organized as follows: Pres., Neifert; V.-Pres., Schultz; Rec. Secy., Shields; Cor. Secy.. Bannen; Treas., Whitebread. The Y. W. C. A. was organized in a meeting of the young ladies, called Aptil 22, 1902, with Miss Enders, Preceptress, presiding. After a presentation of the work of the Y. W. C. A. by Miss Strong, State Secretary, twenty of the young ladies signed to the constitulion. Organ- ization then took place with the following result: Pres., Miss Caroline R. Enders; V.-Pres., Miss Martha Dimm; Secy., Miss Minnie L. Kline; Treas., Miss McColm. These organizations grew out of the desire for completeness. Those who established or founded these organizations doubtless realized that tho a man may be educated to the highest possible intellectual attainment and tho his physique be perfectly developed still he remains an incomplete human being without a proportional moral and spiritual development. They evi- dently also realized the analogy between the physical man and the spiritual man; that just as the physical man cannot endure without sustenance, so also, cannot the spiritual: that as proper exercise, diet, etc., are essential for a vigorous, healthy, and energetic body; as proper training, tho ' t-food. etc., are necessary for a healthy and vigorous mind; so spiritual training and spiritual food are indispensable for a proper spiritual life. The threefold aim of the Y M. C. A. at large is that of a parallel and equal development of bodv. mind and spirit. There can be no higher achievement than the accomplishment of this aim, thus developing the full man; but the organizations of our colleges have a function vary- ing somewhat from that of those separated from educational institutions. All realize more or less the difference of environment existing about such institutions as compared with the outside world. Here the body and mind are naturally developed more or less and often at the expense of the spiritual. It certainly cannot be disputed that if extremes of humanity ever come within the same pole they often do so at an educational institution. Here the expediency of congeniality enters in. Tho all are in close proximity, yet the envhonment may be wholly different for two indi- viduals. The spiritual atmosphere which pervades a college is very similar to the physical atmosphere about us. Just as in nature on the brightest and most sunshiny day we find shadv spots where the atmosphere is more chilly, so with the spiritual atmosphere of a college; and just as in the natural atmosphere one person seeks the sunshine. Ihus being warmed and re- newed with energy and zeal, while another seeks repose in the shadow, thus becoming chilled and inactive, so in the spiritual atmosphere many slink into the shadowy places. This is only natural where heterogenity of character and diversity of interests are present, but much can be done towards lessening the shadows, tho they may not be entirely removed; and this is the spirit which the organizations represent. They offer spiritual food, train- ing, exercise, etc., to all, and endeavor to make the shadowy places bright, reflecting the sun- light of God ' s love upon the shadows. To those walking in the light they come as an inspir- ing power, ever filling them with warmth and renewed energy. To those walking in the shadow of darkness they extend the profoundest sympathy, seeking to lead them into the open sunlight of Christ ' s love even as the house plant is drawn toward the natural sunlight. We believe that such was the aim and purpose for which our predecessors were laboring when they organized these associations at Susquehanna University. May that same spirit always pervade the hearts and minds of the sons and daughters of Susquehanna University that filled the breasts of those organizers. May each and every member remember that the association depends upon the individuals of which it is composed: and as no stream can rise above the level of its source, so no religious organization can rise above the spiritual level of its members. Mav we always find ourselves in the right relationship with ourselves, our fellowmen and our God. Even let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father, which is in Heaven. 88 Dn a, I ' t ' if.t Y. M. C. A. Officers J. D Curran President G. H.

The question arises: Did our fathers easily and without toil mount the ladder of life to success? They aspired to the highest end, and then by labor and perseverance and grasping every opportunity, their efforts were crowned with success. The ardent workers will watch and wait for opportunities. These are not found strewn along the pathway of life broadcast in so obvious a mam er as to be beyond the possi- bility of escaping the notice, but they are rather the outgrowing or indirect result of the course of action of the individual to whom they appear. An opportunity of doing anything within our power to do may be gained. Opportunities are frequently overlooked through negligence. Unless we keep a vigilant watch for them, they will come and go, unnoticed, and we will be left ui, benefited, wait- ing for their presence. There is a time for doing everything it is our duty to do; each day has its duties and trials, and each duty has its time and conditions for being performed, and if we neglect them, as the time passes on, the chance of doing them passes by and thus opportunities are lost to us, which might lead to others greater and of more importance. If we appear blind to the lesser duties and opportunities of life, those which are apparently greater and of more importance will never appear to us again, for it is of the smaller that the greater are composed. If, however, we wish to im- prove our opportunities and be benefited by them, we must be on our guard and seize them as they occur, for opportunities, like time, are ever moving onward, and when once passed and neglected, are gone forever and can never be recalled Men look back through the history of their past lives and are struck with remorse when they see the numerous opportunities which they have allowed to pass unnoticed, which can never b recalled, and hear them exclaim in their agony. It might have been. It is therefore very important that all opportuni- ties of doing good should be improved, so that the past may present to us the realities and accomplishments of life and not haunting spirits of what might have been. Let us, as students and loyal Philos, grasp every opportunity that mav be within our reach, and with willing hands perform our duties faithfully. We extend a hearty welcome to all old Philos who may at any time return to revisit the college halls. And to the new students we extend a cordial invitation to visit our Literary Society, and should they decide to join our ranks in uph lding our banner, we welcome them, and hand in hand, we will march through all difficulties to triumph. 94 D1G V ■ •a x o U Clionian Literary Society Motto Menial is Ordo et Moralis Dignitas Colors Old Gold and Blue Officers S.

Were not attained by sudden flight But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night. —LONGFELLOW npHIS simple truth, altho applying to every walk of life, particularly applies to literary train- ■ ■ ing. The faculties of man are capable of expansion and development, but this means de- terminate efforts. A great lesson can be learned from Demosthenes on this point. Demos- thenes ' first attempt at public speaking was utterly unsatisfactory to his educated audience of Greeks, but he determined to make it a success at any cost. He went to the seashore and there with nature he toiled until success crowned his efforts. Demosthenes is an example of efforts rather than of genius. Clio fully recognizes that talent is not inherent but is acquired by prac- tice. Great strides have been made in this direction by its members. Progress is the watch- word in the movement for that training and culture which becomes so potent in public life. Clio insists on practice as the most important factor making for this higher achievement. Learning what to do and how to do it and retailing the acquired knowledge in recitations and in oral or written examinations are things easy of accomplishment; doing what one has learned how to do, and doing this habitually, are not. What Literary society has not sympathized with the delightful Portia in the Merchant of Venice when she says with a sigh, If to do were as easy as to know what were good to «, chapels had been churches and poor men ' s cottages, princes ' palaces? Because of this difficulty of doing and our neglect to it, how much of our instruction fails of that for which it is chieflv intended! No teacher in music would attempt to explain the el- ements of music or the theory, and warn his pupils against errors into which they are liable to fall, and then go away imagining that under such training the youth is likely to become a musician. So also in literary training one must not only be taught what to do and how to do it. but he must actually do it himself. Clio strictly adheres to two great principles always distinct- ly evident, which she offers to her sons and daughters — mental order and moral worth. These two ideas are so dependent upon each other, that the man who lacks one of them fails to be an active force making for righteousness and the good of humanity. A literary society is generall measured by the influence it has had on the ex-members that are now out in active service. The past speaks well of this training. Many are the men that have left our halls, who have spread the fame of Clio. Let us hope that the high standard of the literary achievements of the past and present will be a spur to those who v ill steer the course of Clio in the future. So nigh is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man. When Duty whispers low. ' Thou must, ' The youth replies. ' I can. ' 98 1 =z3t pbilonutriap xily Philomatrians I W, Bingaman. President I. S.

Wright says : This is true without regard to the theory which may be adapted to account for the origin and development of the society itself. ' ' The Society of Philomatrians, of Susquehanna University, was organized January 10, iqoi, at a meeting held in the room of C. M. Nicholas. The per- sonages present at this initial meeting were ex-captains of athletic teams, man- agers of Susquehanna organizations and the manager and editor-in-chief of 1902 Lanthorn. They considered the advisability of a society of general college advisors and thus founded the said institution. It is needless for us to go into detail concerning the origin and growth of our institution It is, however, let it be said, a peculiar society. Tho not a secret order, it is an organization propagated by honor men and having at heart the best interests of our mother institution, the University. Its constituents are therefore the busy class. In many ways has this organization found labors in many fields. It has acted as a governor to the student life — sometimes introducing and adding labors of usefulness, and again retarding the immensity of the non-essential — thus act- ing as a regulator at all times. During the last year, you in the outer world, may not have seen any effulgent rays emanating from this body, and you may therefore, have been tempted to look upon us as a silent unit, but be you at once undeceived, the recording secretary ' s book shows differently. Many discussions along literary, financial and athletic lines have led to proposed action. We need you, fellow-student. Be thou strong, therefore, a d show tin- self a man, and you may gain admission into meetings of fellowship et unknown. 100 Officers of the Publishing Association I. S. Sassaman President T. B.

Yet we a warfare wage, as hot As those which nations fight. No earthly potentate we serve, But God, the Truth and Right. Our ranks are thin — no mighty band Of followers tend our course: Our battles are not won by guns; Our victories, by force. We go to fields where darkness rules; The darkness of untruth. No education meets our view But savages uncouth Are what we have to work upon. The Light and Truth to bring To them is our true mission there: To glorify our King. To the hot shores of Africa ' s land Where jungles thickest are. Where daylight brings the tropic sun, Where many a silvered star From out the heavens gleams at night; Or to the polar zone Where the Aurora shines; where bergs Break forth in monotone: From east to west; from north to south Where God would have us go To meet the enemies of Christ — There fight we with the foe. And underneath his guardian care Nor flinch we from the fight, But strive some souls on earth to win For God, the Truth and Right. 105 p n jB J 5 J o 71 ? s.u. ? 8 4 s u Prohibition League Officers M.

For the number of men whom the Demon of Rum Has ensnared in his folds is so great; Opportunities always lie open to us To help save some one else from this fate. Just as long as the State and the Nation would stand As the land of the free and the brave, There must be Prohibition from coast unto coast Or the land will be one drunkard ' s grave. Each year do his tentacles wave o ' er the land In a manner most threat ' ning to see And integrity, honor, position are lost In the glamor of wild revelry. And so ' gainst this power of evil we stand Not to talk but to act where we can And strive that we may in this country some day See the Liquor Fiend under the ban. 109 E 3 ' 55 « c E  uW f Jnpi ti TTjicfiCS 6.sr.Stho«h,oo Athletic Association OFFICERS OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS T.

U. can claim in Athletics, it is the purity of her sports. As a university she stands for university teams and not for padded and artificial ones. Tho defeats come thru our lack of outside players there is yet a feeling that we have done our best and that the teams are our college-mates. In base ball of last year, there was one of the best teams ever, put on the diamond by S. U. Coach Teufel had his men worked into shape from the start and the success of the season was in no small measure due to him. One of the best games brought defeat to the Redskins by a score of 4 to 3. Lebanon Valley, Bloomsburg, F. M., Berwick and C. S. N. S. all bit the dust, the nine winning eight out of twelve games. In foot ball the outlook was very unpromising. Few of the old players re- turned to the sport and most of the team was new material. So that while the schedule shows several defeats, yet the team is to be congratulated on the sturdy game which it put up. In basket ball, however, the team did excellent work. The old players all turned out and material was not lacking for Reserves. The season, tho adverse to S. U. at the start, wound up successfully. The base ball outlook for this Spring is fine and a strong team is expected. So, all in all, S. U. has no cause for shame but rather one of pride. Her sons have worked with all their might and beyond that no one can do more. It is the spirit that counts and carries the Orange and Maroon on to victory both in study and in sport. 114 1907 Foot Ball Team John I. Houtz Captain George H. Seiler Manager I. V.

At dawn the bright October sun Played riot with the colors bright. Loud yells awoke the Sophomore band And dared them for their class to fight. Anon upon the steps they stood; Each man was clad in war array. They looked with hate upon the flag And chafed to enter in the fray. Alas! the Freshmen in their zeal Had heaped much earth around the pole; The Sophs at this did quickly catch And swore by Venus and their soul That they, in truth, no fight would make Unless the Freshies this did change. Just then the Prex. hove into sight And all the Profs, got into range. Thru quibbles and thru quabbles thick The sunny morning quicklj ' passed. The Freshies got an effigy Of straw, and burned it at the mast. And thus the scrap was ended; soon The crowd, disgusted at the scene, All turned away with scornful looks And quickly left the campus green. Alackaday! where is the might Of former days ? No more we see The valiant foemen battle strong; Nor flag uplifted on a tree. Next year will shooters and popguns The battle ' twixt the classes wage. The class that hits the bull ' s-eye first Will carry off the gage. Or else in merry leap-frog games They ' ll risk their very precious life, A vicious slap debars a man And thus decides the awful strife. A-a-a-men. 133 The Wrong Window This poem is in blank verse. The reason for this will be seen after reading it. In the corner Where the pillows made a snug retreat, And the brightness of the lights reached not There sat a maid most winsome and A youth watching closely beside her; Round them the clatter of voices Sounded, but never came near them; For they were bent on a project Such as would end in a feasting. Plans were all laid and they waited Anon for the time of departure, When she to her room might ascend and He to the restaurant hasten. Night with her cloak had enfolded Closer the worn, wearied earth, And on the warm breeze that cometh Late at the close of the summer. Came the light sprinkling of rain-drops. Betok ' ning the first autumn shower. Over the rise to the building Silently came the adventurer, And when he came ' neath her window Whistled; then waited and whistled Softly that she alone heard him. Quickly the window was opened; A form broke the darkness above him; Signals were passed ' twixt the twain and Soon there descended a thin rope. Joyfully hastened the youth, In speed to the rope did he fasten Good things enclosed in the bag which He had so eagerly gotten. A whispered good night and the window Closed on the night air, while slowly He to his room did return, Feeling that all was not useless. Meanwhile beyond the far corner Silently waited the maiden, She of the winsomeness, Waited but he that was coming Came not. Finally sleep touched her eyes. When she awoke there abode no Good for the youth who forgot her. Thus did the gods in their workings Sever the ties that were forming. Miserable window! Why were you Placed on the side that now holds you ? Why was not that side the other ? 134 Daily Routine 2.45 A. M.

It is not very often that I reminisce but to-night I feel in the mood and so I ' ll tell you a few things. I remember when I first came here. It was a beautiful day in Autumn when Uncle Adam had the man take me from a number of others and bring me on the train to S. U. Prexy and a couple of vile workmen fitted me together and lowered me into the cool depths of the well. When I was fixed, Prexy gave me his blessing and said I ' m sorry for this, tho I don ' t know why. Then he pumped up a glassful of water and wandered off. All day the boys gathered around me and had a look while I stood up bravely in my new paint and thought I looked like the Pierian Spring. Soon, however, 137 night came on and I was left alone, except when someone would come out to cool his wearied brow and parched throat. Those were the times when I soliloquized in happy mood. But now ! Ah me, how everything is changed. The paint and glamor of those days are gone and the brightness remains in memory alone. My arm has gotten so tired that every time it is raised the works inside of me creak. No more do the students surround me in glee, drinking the sparkling water from the bright tin cup. The water has been analyzed and found to contain all sorts of germs while the tin cup was torn ruthlessly from its chain one night to hold Uncle Adam ' s cigar ashes. The moths and rust gather on my lean and lanky sides so that the graceful contour of my palmy days is lost forever, while those naughty lads are continually hacking at the pump trough and mar its symmetry. Hut that reminds me, there is something of which I have not told you. Every once in a while, late at night, a crowd comes from the building with one in the middle, struggling and twisting. They dump him in the trough and then pump water over him, as tho he had not had a bath in three or four weeks. Then they run him around the campus and hit him with paddles. I ' ve often wondered what it meant but nobody told me. It must be a substitute for the Keely Cure. But even these things are of rare occurrence now. I have waited night after night but nothing came and only the wind sighed thru the trees and the theologs had fire drill with their leaky hose. If you would take a bit of advice from me, let me tell you, don ' t be a pump. Too many people work you and you don ' t get any thanks. If there is one thing above all others that you should try to do it is to build up a strong college community and VIE with ONE another in so doing. I heard somebody say that the other day but I cannot think just now who it was. You are probably tired now of listening to me and, truth to tell, I haven ' t said very much, so there won ' t be much lost. But, ah me ! how everything has changed. (The reporter obtained this interview one night about two a. m., shortly after hearing the babbling water gurgling over his pate.) 138 Squeezer Club Motto: Squeeze as hard as you can.

To GO to their classes was a great pleasure, exceeded only by our desire TO win their affection, but if The Lanthokn fails to meet their approval, THE DEVIL will be to pay.

All answers should be sent in a sealed envelope. The winner will be pre- sented with a copy of The Lanthorn on receipt of $1.50 to pay postage. That reminds me of something that happened up in Centre county when I was a boy. Now gentlemen, you may take the next twenty sections in Quintilian and fifteen pages of Metaphysics. If you have any spare time you may write a paper on The Pre-Socratic School as Compared with Plato. Anathema. Yes, that ' s a very peculiar word. You find it in Church History, having an altogether different meaning. Explain it, Mr. Spotts. That ' s sufficient. Now, Mr. Inkrote, what is hydrolysis. But first tell us about the ionization of substances. ' I ' ll have my bond. ' Put force into it. Keep your voice lower but full of reserve strength. Please give the five arguments for the Being of God in their logical order. Take to the end of the chapter for next time. It is only about twenty-three pages. I ' m sorrv for this. ' ' 143 Seven Wonders of S. U. I. The Heat Plant This is a peculiar variety of vegetable life which thrives partly in and partly above the earth. The only specimen of its kind is found at the S. E. end of the campus. It has the peculiar property of being adapted to the weather. When the sun slings his rays to about 90° in the shade, the plant almost boils over, but its r.ctions in winter almost lead one to believe that it hibernates since at those times it is cold and silent. II. The Reading Room On the second floor of Gustavus Adolphus Hall there is a small room com- monly known as the Reading Room. This has long been a wonder to the students and is kept sacred as a place for mourning lovers to meet and hold hands. III. The New Tennis Courts These are located nowhere in particular except in the fertile imaginations of a few. They were to take their place with the other splendors of the institution at the beginning of this term but it took Prexy and Curly all vacation to find a place to put them and then there was no time left to work. IV. Theolog Fire Hose Resting peacefully in its cupboard on the landing by the stairs is this antiquated piece of tubing. It has four hundred and fifty-nine leaks to an inch and throws a mighty stream of water about ts of an inch in diameter and six feet long. Rumor has it that it is a relic of the days before Prometheus brought down fire from heaven. V. The Water at the Gym. This is always a wonder. It has been, is and ever shall be. Just how the water can be so cold after passing thru the boiler no one knows tho some have it that the heater (?) is used to store ice in. VI. Selinsgrove Hall The building which first meets your eye as you come up the campus and which bears some relation to the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, has long been re- garded as one of the seven wonders of S. U. This, mostly because it is believed to be haunted, as strange sounds often issue from its halls. Those who live there tho are strangely silent on the subject. VII. Jugel The Colossus of Rhodes transplanted at S. U. The animated statue of German freedom and liberty. The only living example, outside of the porcupine, of how to grow hair standing up straight. This closes the exhibition. Depart in pieces. 144 LEffAR ' 5 MWGJULL v A r . 4U5P Cif5 OF — A£AL AT ALL HOURS Rules and Regulations To be Observed during Meals at the Dining Hall I.

Our President from home did come. Along some goodies back she brought, And thru her kindness we got some. The Lanthorn work was almost o ' er, And we the feat did celebrate. We gathered in a merry throng: Mid mirth and song the hour grew late. Then one proposed that we should get The skeleton from out the lab, Away we went but soon returned: We cared not who kept tab Of all our doings, for the class Was bent on revelry that night, And so in short, we all sat down: Our picture taken by flashlight. Of all we had, you won ' t see much Except the bottles, pitcher, spoon. But you can bet we cheered for Dutch, And vowed that we ' d repeat this soon. 148 Notice this reverent young man. He evidently has some physical afflic- tion since he does not stand up in chapel during prayer. He is rolling a cigarette. Children when you read this, think of the awful example and — do likewise if you want to. This, children, is a full-back. If you have never seen one you should watch the foot ball team when they return from a trip. The fellow that staggers the most is a full-back. He is much in demand and also much in evidence. Children you can draw many morals from these pictures. I will be sorry if you do not. ,r K i 0 -) F ot-BAw- I ty = AVMfvk 149 Morn From the east, whence the sun-god Apollo Drives his chariot each day ' cross the sky. Comes a glimmer of light, which betokens the night Hath already begun to fly. And the earth, wrapped in mantles of sleep and of rest, Awakes to its labors again; And the homes of the poor, where want knocks at the door. Are opened in city, on fen. A flaming dart from the east now comes, Like a courier announcing his lord; Anon and again there ' s a bright burst of flame, Like Azrael with two-edged sword. Kre now a bright halo surrounded the east; The birds have in joy ' gun to sing; The wrens in the leaves and the swallows in eves; For surely approacheth the king. The men in the cities, on way to their work, Thank God for the glorious day, And ask that their sorrows, their troubles, their trials. Like the night, be all swept away. A tii . and then all of his full shining face Is seen as he mounteth on high. From the east, whence the sun-god Apollo Drives his chariot each day ' cross the sky. 151 Memorabilia Susquehanna University founded ( Missionary Institute) 1858 Selinsgrove Hall built 18S8 Gustavus Adolphus Hall built 1894 Laboratory built ... .1897 Seibert Memorial Hall dedicated December n, 1902 Alumni Gymnasium built 1903 Clionian Literary Society founded 1859 Y.

Which soon to you will come apace, And, if you meet them not with grace, Will turn your joy to sorrow deep And cause you many a tear to weep. III. This work is not with roses strewn And yet, when time and tide have flown, And you have had with this a try Resolved To Conquer or To Die, IV. You ' ll feel that all is not in vain, That all the worry, all the strain, Has brought to you some lessons great Of perseverance early, late. V. Objections thick will block your path And all the care that e ' er man hath Encountered in his crowning work Will come to you. But do not shirk VI. Your task. Behind each bank of cloud A silver lining is, tho shroud And mist may keep it from your view, So after all, be true, be true. VII.
