MAXIMS FOR COLLEGE LIFE. Where 'tis bliss to be a Senior ,tis folly to be wise. The Faculty always finds some work for idle hands to do. A fool and his cuts are easily parted. Annual poets are made, not born. Man must earn his diploma by the sweat of his horse. A bald head hideth a multitude of sins. lVlary,s laugh doeth Lawrence good like a medicine. Too many cuts spoil the grade. lnsufhcient unto the day is the hash thereof. A wise Senior maketh a glad D.D., but an '06 graduate disgusteth everybody. l-le that knoweth not and knoweth not that he knoweth not is a Senior. Pass by it and turn away. The honor is in composing an original production, not in butchering another man's work. 'Tis hard for an empty head to make an HA. A little sweat upon the hunter's trail beats all the sprinkled salt upon the huntedis tail. -J. V. B. Every class has its Crisis but it never allows others to forget, no matter how trivial the thing was. It is the empty head that rattles. Three may keep a secret if they are all on the Annual Board. A stand-in with the Faculty is a continual Christmas. .. L6

LAMSON, RALPH TIDRICK, JOHN F. MCKIE. An institution of twice seven year's standing in Tarkio College-with never yet a chronicler! Clio grant us a pen of iron and the golden flow wherewith to decorate this scroll. as rf as The history of the college athletics might be roughly divided-like ancient Gaul-- into three parts. There was a traditional age, the era of the Athletic Association, and the day of the Board of Control. I The traditional age commences back of the printed record. The College was founded in l883. In April, 1892, the Athletic Association was organized. About midway between these dates-say 1885-I888-baseball flourished. Few intercollegiate games were scheduled and eligibility regulations were unknown but the team had quite a local reputation and doubtless played good ball. Formidable rivals-the names would hint as much-were the Cow-boysf' the HDutch7' nine, and Amity. Other sports lan- guished, perhaps by the studiousness of the pupils, probably by a dearth of boys, and certainly from lack of organization and funds. Cnce Amity was whipped in an im- promptu field dayg and the College had an Achilles who used to retrieve baseball defeats by outrunning the neighboring cracks So ends the age of tradition. On a thirteenth in the fickle month of the year the College burned, began the era of the Athletic Association. At the suggestion of President Thompson the writer had the privilege of inaugurating four1der's day. Organization was effected in the Presbyterian church, at that time one of the temporary quarters of the College. The pioneer president had the further happiness of pouring oil on various troubled sessions, of going on the bond four field care of the organization when it was in debt, and once of raising a subscription of three or hundred dollars from the merchants of the town for fixing up the then new athletic only to see the amount go by default because of an Association Uscrapf' The first of the new organization was to institute field day and the earliest of these contests was held the following commencement season. For four or live years the interest in track athletics overshadowed both baseball and football. Several creditable meets were early won from T as h a I sn sf ,- f1Q fd .- gl. n :cn . . 1 L., td ' ll?
