READE, Our Beloved President, Who has greatly endeared himself to the students by his devotion to the Institution, and his :eal for its interests, and by his solicitude for their welfare, intellectual, moral and spiritual, this volume of the Gem is lovingly dedicated. Editor-in-Chkf D rv Cj 7:?y Azy. Business Manager Associate Editoi EDITORIAL ) the faculty, trustees, alumni and students of our University, to the college world in general, and to friends of education every- wliere, the Class of 1901 presents with pleasure, the present issue of the Gem. The silent but steady evolution of our college man- agement, the wonderful improvements made since the last appearance of the Gem, the magnificent success which has attended all our efforts, the grand prospects for future growth, and above all, the changes yet to be made in order that our University may attain its proper position, we realize are subjects worthy of our highest literary endeavor. Concerning the nature of the publication which we present for your consideration we deem it necessary- to saj- but little. The Gem, as an es- tablished part of our college literature has become so fixed in its character that the mere mention of the name informs the reader what he is to expect. In this connection we would say that the editors have not considered them- selves a self-appointed board of correction, whose duty it is to super -ise the general administration of the University, but the purpose of this publication is to bring about a better understanding between the faculy and students on the one hand, and the trustees and alumni on the other. Many events of importance to the University mark the period that has intervened since the publication of the ' 98 Gem. The increased attendance at the colleges and universities of this country during the past two years, ac- counted for, no doubt, by the fact that the desire for an advanced education has been stimulated during the closing years of the nineteenth centurj ' by the increasing zeal and earnestness manifested in scientific research ; and the general advance observed in all institutions of learning, has nowhere been more manifest than in Taylor University. New theories have been advanced, new methods have been put in operation, and many errors deeply buried un- der the obsolete investigations of the past have been disclosed. The best methods of teaching — not only giving abundance of facts, but also stimulat- ing the desire for personal research — have been adopted. Wliile Taylor has kept to the front in educational lines, yet the knowledge that an educated intellect alone is detrimental to the possessor and the world in general, un- less backed by a character worthy of emulation, has been so riveted upon the minds and hearts of the management of the I ' niversit}-, that equal attention is given to the development of the higher, the spiritual nature of her stu- dents. As trees are to be judged by their fruits, so colleges mu.st be judged, not by their buildings and equipment, but by the men and women who go out from under the fostering care of their Alma Mater. Wliile the rniversity has made rapid proyress alono; educational Hues, many new improvements have been made in tlie buildings. The first floor of Maria- Wright Hall, has been finished, furnishing commodius quarters for our Business Department. The Library, which, until recently, occupied a room on the north side of the building, now occupies the old chapel, and chapel ser -ices are now conducted in the large and spacious hall which has been completed and furnished by the kindness of friends. A Ladies ' Dormi- torj- and Dining Hall have been added to the number of buildings, and on the lots surrounding the campus many new buildings and residences have been erected for the accommodation of the teachers and students. To Tite a history of the Universit)- would be to record the sorrows and trials, difficulties and cares, in fact, the biography of our beloved President, Dr. Reade. Under his management and care the University has steadily ad- vanced in popularity until it has become recognized as an intellectual centre. His mild, but firm, di.scipline, his enthusiasm in student affairs, his belief in honor, coupled OTth his strong administration of the University ' s affairs have won the love, esteem and confidence of every loyal student. The fu- ture of the school is bright, and it is the hope of all that the President may live to see the child of his care attain the po-sition he so much desires, not only as a rendevouz of cultivated intellects, but a temple upon whose altars men sacrifice themselves for the cause of others. In conclusion, to our many friends among the students we would .say : If, as we pass around the compliments of the season, you should be for- tunate enough to draw a lucky number, do not raise your voices in condem- nation of the editors, and call down on their heads the -rath of the powers that be, but rather feel thankful that you are a personage of sufficient im- portance to be thought worthy of notice, remembering that you are not without imperfections, and seeing yourselves as others see you, profit by it, repent and pay penance for the past misdeeds by purchasing extra copies of the Gem.

DECK, was born in 18G0 in Zurich, Switzerland and was reared under the guidance of his father, a clergyman of the Zwinglain church , in the doctrines of the sturdy Swiss Reformer. After completing the courses of common and high schools in his native cit} ' , he entered upon and completed the course in the chemical department of the Pol3 ' technic School and then entered an institution for the special training of Christian teachers. While here his love for music led him to -isit repeatedl} ' the Catholic church of which his music teacher was organist. This love for music and a pen- chant for the romantii-, «liiiii Roinaiiisin is so careful to foster, led him at J. MES J. DKCK the age uf nineteen into the communion of that church, and subsequently he found himself in the ranks of the Jesuites and came to America as one of their number. He reviewed and completed his studies in English, Latin and Greek Literature in 1881 and the following two years studied at St. John ' s College, Frederick, Maryland, after which he passed successfully the search- ing examination exacted from those members of the order who have com- pleted the three years exclusively devoted to the study of Logic, Metaphy.s- ics. Psychology and Ethics. After having given one term to private investi- gation in vuantitave anah-tical research at the Chemical Labratory of Har- vanl l. ' iii trsity, lit- ik-voted the following five years to teachini, ' .Matheiuatics, Chemistry, Physics, German and French at several Roman Catholic Colleges. Under the guidance and teaching of the Jesuits he then entered upon and completed, at Woodstock College, Howard County, Maryland, which is the house of studies of the Order in the United States, the required course of four years of continuous application to Dogmatic, Moral and Scriptural The- ology and the collateral branches of Canon Law and the Latin and Greek Fathers. All these studies according to the invariable custom of the Jesuit Order, were taught and recitations were heard in the Latin Language exclu- sively ; in the final examination also in which every candidate is required, during four hours to answer orally the questions proposed to him dc uni vena Philosophia et Thfologia hy ?t e specially appointed examiners, not one word of the vernacular was allowed ; every question was proposed in Latin, every answer was then and there required in Latin. After he had successfuU} ' passed this ordeal, he received the ordination to the priesthood at the hands of the then papal delegate. Cardinal Satolli and resumed his teaching career at Georgetown I ' niversity, Washington, D. C. A growing disgust, however, for the exaggerated church worship and mummery exacted by Romanism, doctrinal difficulties concerning the dogmas of the innnaculate conception, priestly absolution and papal infallibility, as well as the ever in- creasing desire for something firmer than the dogmatic Ipse dixit of the Catholic Church, induced him to give up his priesthood, separate himself from the Roman Communion, and become a member of the M. E. Church in Washington, D. C. Naturally his co-religionists were put out by tliis step. Notwithstanding this, however, his former superiors declared officially and in writing that his life as a man, as a teacher and as a priest, had been without fault, that his defection from the Catholic Church was the one error of his life. His teaching career embraced eight years spent at St. Francis Xavier ' s College, West Sixteenth Street, New York City, Georgetown University, Washington, D. C, and St. Joseph ' s College, Philadelphia, Pa. Class ' 01 CLASS ' 01 MOTTO— NoH Xohis So tn i.- COLORS— Cardiiia and Old Gold. OFFICERS D. S. Duncan President Chas. S. Coons Vice-President Ida E.

Holly ■H History and Vrophesy of the Class of 1901 PAGES of our history are yelloweil by time. Our record is the Ijrief , bright one of four brief, bright years. The first class in the University to complete a real organization in its Freshman year. We commenced our course with a membership of sixteen, and, although quite a number have dropped from our ranks, their places have been more than repleted and, with pennants and peans, we graduate sixteen strong. Intellectualh- our class has been equaled by few, surpassed by none that ever left the halls of Taylor. With a just pride we point to the native ability of our classmates, and glancing at the honors won, we assert that that ability has been well used. AVe point to our musicians and believe that no better ever filled our halls with melody. We point to our moral record which is unblemished and which cannot be justly impeached. We could not write our history without seeming to praise ourselves, so details omitted, we give that which is vital — . c. — under the fostering care of our instructors we have grown in intellectual and moral strength and go forth to meet the joys and tragedies of life, to engage in sterner work, in- spired with the idea of elevating our fellows — well equipped for service and fortified in strength Di -ine. Belie -ing that the past is a prophesy — a conditional prophesy — of what we might make of ourselves, we dare to hold back the veil that conceals the future, and with the eyes of a seer, gaze upon ourselves twenty years hence. Class Prophecy 1901 lEY were seated at one of the smaller tables in the inafjnificent (lining room of the Waldorf-Astoria. The general appearance of l«ith men indicated that each had attained to success and pros- perity ' . They were no longer young men and gray hairs were plentifully sprinkled among the brown and raven locks. Congress was drawing near the close of its session and Chas. S. Coons, United States Senator from Indiana, had run up to New York on a business errand, and had taken advantage of the opportunity to call on his old friend and classmate, Rev. D. S. Duncan, D. D., who was successfully filling the place once occupied by Dr. Buckley as editor of the New York Christian Advocate. The coffee cups had just been brought in, and the delicious aroma and taste of the beverage, (by contrast perhaps) turned their thoughts and con- versation to old times and old friends at Taylor University, from which they both graduated nearly a quarter of a century before. I suppose you see a good deal of Holly nowadays, said Duncan in- quiringl} ' . How does he like being Secretary of State? Likes it famously, replied Senator Coons, and fills the position remarkably well too. Much of the success of the Prohibition administration is due, I think, to his capable management as the President ' s chief advisor. Glad to hear it, said his friend. He boomed Ayers ' election in great style out in Indiana, didn ' t he? I always thought A Tes would be President some day. He ' s a sort of second Abraham Lincoln. The Sena- tor nodded approvingly. Heard anything from any of the other boys lately? he said. Yes, Mr. Duncan replied. Asay ' s oldest son called at my office the other day. He is a fine fellow, — just the image of his father. He tells me he is reading law with Lenhart Roberts in Philadelphia. Asay is doing well, is he? Oh yes. Has the First M. E. Church in Minneapolis where Rev. J. M. Driver used to hold forth when we were still in school. By the wa} ' , what do you think of the outlook for Lenhart in the coming election for Judge of the Supreme Court? He is running on the Prohibition ticket, isn ' t he? Yes, and I think he will make it. He is a very popular man in his district. He and Roberts seem to be winning both fame and wealth. Did you see that notice about Underbill in the New York World last week ? He is manager of the California Lick Observator}-, you know, and he claims to have received another message from the man in JIars. Great fellow, that I ' nderhill. He is surely making his mark. That was a fine little girl he married, too. Did you know her? Yes, I believe I did, the editor replied. And that rL-niinds nie ; have 3 ' ou heard anything of Scholl lately? Scholl? Oh yes, said the Senator. He ha.s a charge down at .Mian- tic City now. That so? Is he still as fond of bathing as he used to be? Yes indeed ! Goes in every day as long as the season lasts, and both men laughed heartily. Speicher called on me the other day, continued the Senator, You remember him, don ' t you? He had come to Washington to attend a meet- ing of the Church Secretaries. You know he travels in the interest of Sun- day School work, is brimful of enthusiasm and can talk about his plans b}- the hour. Told me he had made a trip through Texas a month or .so ago, and had seen Byshe. ' B_y3he is President of the Texas Holiness University, isn ' t he? Yes, and he seems to be making a fine success of it. He always was a good solid fellow. I believe Speicher said that the University enrolled nearly five hundred students at the opening of this year. I tell you, Byshe is a hustler. And, say, Speicher ran across Dean Metcalf way out on the Texas border. He is running a large ranch and having great success. He has a fine family. Two of his daughters expect to enter Taylor, next -ear. He has that same old red beard but it is a good deal longer now. The Editor and the Senator both relapsed into a musing silence. It lasted only a few moments however and the Editor ' s next remark was : By the way, there were some girls who graduated with us were there not? Yes, three of them. I wonder where they are now? I don ' t know about Miss Taylor aud Miss Wiest, replied the other, but you know, don ' t you, that Mar}- Buck married the present Governor of the Philippines ? ' ' No ! Did she? and the editor looked surprised and intere,sted. Yes. He heard her sing at a concert in Baltimore I believe, and it was a case of love at first sight. They have been married for fifteen years now. Lived happily ever after, I suppose, and the Editor smiled, thinking perhaps of his own experience. Let me see, gazing thoughtfully at the ceiling, Miss Taylor — I did know about her. Oh, yes, recollecting, she taught instrumental and vocal music at the New Orleans Conser -atory for a while, but she finallv married a preacher, — .some fellow from Ohio. 1 fortret his name just now, but he was at the Tniversity the last year we were there. And where is Miss Wiest now? She is assistant pastor at Cleveland, Ohio, in the First M. K. Church. Rev. B. H. McCoy, D. D. is pastor there you know. Those two do ;j;oo( work together. ' ' Say, I had a letter from Irelan the other day. It .seems he has recently been appointed Presiding Elder of the Ogden District in Utah. Did that fellow ever get married? You remember what an ardent ad- vocate of celibac}- he used to be at school. Would argue bj- the hour to sus- tain the idea that Paul had never married. He was a great fellow. His laugh was enough to disturb the equilib- riunt of a pope. Yes, he married finally. He must have been on the shady side of forty when it happened. A littlegirl from Wisconsin captivated him. He seems to wear his bonds ver} ' gracefully, however, in spite of his erst- while prejudices. I hear Bishop Eberhart ' s new book on Sy.steniatic Theology is about ready for the press, said the Senator. Yes, and its a fine thing too. I have seen most of the copy. The print- ers are setting it up now. It will probably take the place of Mile ' s Theol- ogy in most of our Methodist schools. I hear from Eberhart quite often. He is living in Los Angeles now. And Gress, where is he? ' Had a report from him not long ago .said the Editor. He and his wife are making a missionary tour of South America at present. He was appointed Superintendent of the South American Missions liy the last General Conference. The coffee cups were empty and the Senator glanced at his watch. Whew! Had no idea it was so late, he said rising. I ' ll have just time to make ni}- train. Sorry I can ' t be with you longer, old boy. It re- news a fellow ' s youth to have a chat like this occasionally. Those were rare old days at the University, and we all have reason to be proud of our Alma Mater now. Yes, indeed, Mr. Duncan replied. Who would have thought when we were seniors there, that today Taylor University- would be the largest and best equipped school of Methodism west of the Alleghanies. But it ' s true. Sorry my wife is out of town, he added, I should like to have taken you up to the house for dinner. Thanks. Should have been glad to see her. My regards to her, please. Wish you could see my boy now. He ' s a son to be proud of, if he is my treet door. Loiij; life tc down to Vashin},fton some own. Well, goodbye, as they reached tl: Taylor I ' niversity and the class of 1901. R time and see us all. Thank you, ' said Duncan. Drop in whenever you can And the Editor and the Senator each went his way. Class Poem M Class of 1901 The ages of chivalry anil knighthood are over, Of tournaments, castles and the alchemist ' s art ; The sun of true science approaches the zenith. And forces the dark mists of ignorance apart. The reason of man so long shroude l in ilarkness, Has broken the bands of Error ' s foul night. Inventions and buildings have come as b)- magic, And intellect lla-;hes with Truth ' s gleaming light. The pages of history are filled with great statesmen. With generals, musicians and poets, — not a few. But now on the stage comes a company of heroes. The bright Senior Class of old Taylor V. The wrecks of the past stand as sentinels to warn them. The deeds of the great fill their minds with delight. And hopes, that the problems of time they will conquer. Give coura.ge, and make all their future life bright. The Greek with its verbs, and the Latin declensions. The science of numbers, of History ami Art, All bow to the genius of such brilliant intellects. While the my.steries of Chemistry also clepart. Xo trials nor troubles can cool their devotion. No obstacles turn from the path that is true. Their work is accomplished with views to the future: No merit is sought for but that which is due. The old classic halls of our dear Alma Mater, Shall echo the sounds of their xi.ices no more; The stranger will tread on the spots now helil sacred, And mock at the rules so nnich reverenced liefore. But hi.gh on the walls of the temple of honor, The names and the fame of each one will appear Transcendent in glory, with brightness untarnished Of the old Senior Class of the Xineteen-one vear.

RiCHEV Edward C. Harper D Junior Class History N GIVING the history of the Junior Class of 1901, a concise state- ment of undisputed facts will be indulged without any pretentions of celebrity not won and merited bj ' each individual comprising this august organization . Like the ' ' Magi of old that hailed from the various parts of the civilized world, the Juniors, with solitary equip- age came upon the scene of action at Taylor University and began to aston- ish the world with their genius and power. The world is ever on the alert that it may avail itself of any marked degree of intellectuality, and has long since recognized the superiority of the Jimiors by intrusting them with some of the great problems of life. We have in this class that concentration of mental activity and magnetism which attracts the attention of all and which leads to the commission of momentous and living issues of church and state to their sacred administration. Historv is accredited with repeating itself and we scan the horizon of achievement and fame for the returning effulgence of the heroes who have fallen on the gory battle field or moved the emotions of men with magnifi- cent display of statesmanship and oratory, but now you may trust your eyes for you are not gazing upon the mirage of delusion that shall entice your footsteps to the brink of the abyss of confusion, instead, the aurora of hope is blazing forth in these, the very quintescence of history, holding the lighted torch of wisdom aloft for the benefit of the surrounding multitudes. We will not presume upon the future of such a class but will trust that to be secured by the immaculate record of the past. We know there are possibili- ties for the Freshmen and Sophmores and invite them to emulate the great- ness of the preceding classes in the halls of learning. As the Juniors bid farewell to their Alma ISIater in 1902, they will pass into the full orb of destiny and soar to the zenith of a success that is possible only to stars of the first magnitude. HiSTORI.AN Vrophecy 1902 IDLY, (luring the past few years, has the world advanced. Vet nee ls but little exertion of the imagination for us to see that uch greater advancement is possible. Scientists declare they i e little more than connnenced their search. Theologians, even when they think of their achievei:ients, exclaim: The wavs of God are past finding out. Philantliropists, seeing the needs of their fellowmen, are still looking for those who will not place burdens upon the already over- taxed, but for men who will get under and lift some of the load so that man- kind may be freer and happier. Ihe world is looking not for men who are grasping after gold who take the first places at the tables, but for men who take a position not so much for advancement, but because in it they can do more good ; men whose characters are unstained ; men who can be trusted in the treasury and whose influence will always be on the side of right and justice. The church is praying for men filled with the love of Czod and sym- pathy for humanity, men who will sacrifice themselves, if need be, for the cause of truth and righteousness. All around us we hear the demand for men of good character, filled with energy, wisdom and love. We believe the class of 19(.)2 will meet the reciuiremeiits and will success- fully- grapple with the problems of life, and when the history of the coming years shall be written many triumphs achieved by its members will be re- corded. As we look into the future we see some explaining phenomena that are today puzzling the minds of scientists ; some devoting themselves to educa- tion, advancing better methods ; others having heeded the call of the State, their voices denouncing oppression, their lives standing rebukes to vice and corruption ; some are seen toiling under the burning suns of Africa ; some uplifting the banner of the cross in India ; others battering down the wall of superstition and prejudice in China ; others in some small towns, honored and loved by a people whose hearts have been touched and whose lives have been moulded by their exhortations and examples. It is as with one voice the class shouts To be or not to be, meaning that tliey will perish in the attempt or will tie men and women whose lives shall wield an influence for good ; men an l women whose names shall be synonyms for honesty, courage and goodness. rRornKT Class Poem M Class of 1902 In the fertile Indiana, Where the sky is brightest blue ; Stands a school upon the highlands, Widely known as Taylor V .

WICKLAND JENNIE KERR Class History M Class of 1903 HE HISTORY of the class of 1903 inay be divided into three periods: the past, the present and the future. The first period is by far the most extensive. It did not begin, as many would sup- pose, at the time when the present sophomore class first took the rank of freshmen, and because inflated for the first time with classical atmosphere. Its origin dates back to the ancients, when the foundations of our great social institutions were being laid, and when the uncultured and undeveloped mind of man first began to comprehend its possibilities and reach after the infinitude of thought. Someone has said that every drop of blood which has coursed through noble veins has helped to make our modem civilization. This seems quite true ; and it is no less true tliat all the great thoughts and noble deeds, in all the past have been so converged and so moulded into permanent form as to introduce to the world the class of 190.3. Through all the intricate windings of society, from the times when Olym- pus was considered the home of the gods, and the sun was Apollo ' s flaming chariot drawn through the heavens by fiery steeds, even to this, the dawn of the twentieth century civilization, the golden threads of loyalty, integrity, fidelity and wisdom are traceable, which comprise the leading principles and constituent elements of the present Sophomore class. If anyone will take the trouble to investigate he will find that the past is so inseparably connected with the present by the law of conditioning and conditioned, that it properly belongs to the history of the institution whose existence it has thus made possible. And so we do not hesitate to claim a record which extends over a period of many centuries, and which has been made glorious by the fadeless charac- ters and immortal deeds of representative men and women, of every clime and age, and who have composed the brightest constellations in the starry vaults of history. The present period of our existence dates from February, 1901, when the forces which had collected and augmented for ages were formally combined by the organization of all those students who will complete some regular course of study in Taylor Universit}- in 1903. We claim nothing illustrious for the present save the personal greatness of our members. Ours is an untried federation, but we have big hopes and ex- pectations for the future. If we may at all judge by the past, our splendid record certainly prophesies a most brilliant and successful period to follow. Of this I refrain from speakiiif; for two reasons: First, the future is hidden and I could not speak with certainty. Second, the class has deleijated that part of the work to one of more prolific iniatjination, who will deal with it according to his own fore-knowledge. Class Prophecy 1903 nT WAS a beautiful evening in early June. The soft summer breezes were blowing from off the Mississinnewa. The banquet hall of the Walled-ofF-Castoria was all aglow with brightl}- colored lights. Red and white bunting hung from all parts of the room. From behind a huge bank of palms came the soft strains of an Italian orchestra. The oc- casion is a reunion and banquet of the Class of 1903 of Taylor University. At precisely 10:30 o ' clock we gathered around a table laden with all the delicacies of the season. After hawng partaken most heartily of the viands, lemonade was served. While we sipped this delightful beverage, the orators of the evening entertained us with their old-time eloquence. The first speaker was Miss Hattie Merrin, who has been assisting Prof. Culpepper in his Mission School in Porto Rico. Her subject was The Needs of the Porto Ricans. She was followed by the Apollo Belvedere of the Class, Rev. B. H. McCoy, D. D., who was recently made Missionary Bishop to India to succeed Bishop Thobum, deceased. In most forceful and eloquent language he told of his work in India. Next came an address by General Sickle, of the Salvation Army, on Slum Work in Chicago. The Misses Richer, who are teaching music in Germany, sang a beautiful ballad entitled, The Good Old Times We Used to Have at Taylor U. Following this came a piano solo by Dr. U. M. Sanabria, of Porto Rico. We then gathered together in the center of the hall and gave our class yell with all the enthusiasm of former years. Good-bjes were saiil and we dispersed. The members of the Class present were : Rev. F. E. Kirby, Fiji Islands ; Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Graham, Richmond, Va.; Prof. C. W. Scharer, Leipsic, Germany; Miss Jennie Kerr, Matron Gleaners Home, Upland, Ind.; Prof. C. P. Kibbey, Superintendent Public Instruction, State of Indiana; Hon. E, V. Townsend, U. S. Senator, Philippines ; Mrs nee Reader, California ; Rev. S. H. Evaul, D. D., Philadelphia, Pa.; Hon. J. W. Evual, U. S. Con- sul, Hong Kong; Mr. Emmett Rowand, Stock Broker, New York ; Alder- man C. C. Volz, Jr., St. Louis, Mo.; Mrs nee Hankinson, Frankfort, Ky.; Chief Justice E. E. Sweeney, Washington, U. C; Rev. J. C. Woodruff, A. M. LIv. D., Kalamazoo, Michigan ; Rev. E. B. Foltz, B. D., Smiling- ville, Ohio; Rev. C. D. Hicks, Chaplain U. S. Army, Manila; Rev. T. E. Reade, Ph. D., President Taylor University; Attorney-General Metz, Wash- ington, D. C; Rev. E. J. Scharer, A. M., Alaska ; Mr. A. E. Meredith, Arch- itect, Cincinnati, Ohio; Mr. A. E, Wickland, Building Inspector, Topeka, Kansas ; Dr. P. P. Truitt, Baltimore, Md.; Rev. H. C. McBride, Amher.st, Va. Prophet Class Poem JS Class of 1903 The Class of Nineteen-hiindrecl-tlire Is made of jrit as -ou can see : It is the pride of Taylor V . And has never met its Waterloo. AVe are the people, of course we are, Nations will praise us from afar ; And inscribe to us the highest praise, On which .all classes will have to gaze. The Sophomore clas.-? has grit and grace. For other classes we set the pace ; And tr - whatever way they will. We ' re always first at the top of tlie hill. The Sophomore class has wit and beauty, And always does her share of dut - ; Although the rest may claim the same. We ' re .sure on this thev ' re a little lame. Our motto is Do not Despair, We are aiming for the President ' s chair ; For we are bound to rule the State, And make our country -ery great. The stars that .shine in heaven so high Can never pass above the skj ' ; But the Sophomore cla.ss in its upward flight. Will leave them behind like ships in the night. This world may bum and pa.ss away. And night may turn to endless day ; But the Class of Nineteen-hundred-three Will shine througli all eternity.

And surely all will agree with the scribe, M ' ' ' ' ° ' history- of the Class of ' 04 is a 5s5il vast undertaking. One does not wish to say too little, and only lack of space could prevent saying too much. One thing — whatever is said, cannot be otherwise than favorable. The world ' s Temple of Fame is being continualiy enlarged by noble builders in every occupation, but that will be a noble addition indeed, which the present Freshmen Class of Taylor l ' . is designing and, God willing, will complete. Thus far, it is true, the Class has not departed very much from the ordi- nary college freshman cla.ss ; neither does the rough dianuind lifFer idely in appearance from the ordinary white pel)ble ! Cxive us lime, however, and we will .give you results ! Energy begets destiny. If itsdestiny is proportional and similar to its energy, then will this Class be truely great ! The destiny- of these chosen few, bound together by the sacred ties of friendship, and the still closer ones of class brotherhood w411 be — butw-ho can say- what it X(. ' iU be, or rather, who dare say what it may- not be, what of good and noble and Christ-like things we may- not accomplish? In union, w-e know there is strength; while here we shall work together, and when we separate, as all too soon w-e must, our influence upon one another shall .still remain, and in this luiity, this oneness, we w-ill conquer all obstacles before us ! That the Cla.ss of 04 may go down to posterity, noted for its perse- verance, .steadfastness of purpose, loyalty to all it holds dear, and a success- ful striving after the right, is the earnest wish and belief of the Hl.STORI. N- Class Prophecy 1904 : AI ' TF.RXOOX in June. 1957, as I was strollin- alonK Rea.le i_nu j. vicwin.i; tlie beauties of nature and thinkin.t; how I ccjuld ise five dollars, I was violently struck on the back of the head ith some solid material that caused me to drop with a sickl - thud, quite insensible to the ground. After a period of perhaps three hours, the seemingly great pressure began to diminish and I became aware of a slight rocking motion, and suddenly raising my head I found myself in an old boat of ancient build which was being propelled b - a venerable gentle- man with long flowing white locks and beard and arrayed in a costume some- what resembling a Roman toga. This gentleman gave his name as Charon, and on ni}- asking where I was going and how and why I got there he said that I was crossing the river Sty.x into the land of eternal bliss and the reason was, all the members of the ' 04 Class had arrived and liked it so well and were becoming so famous that they wished me in their midst and had sent Vulcan after me, who, slipping up behind, had hit me in the back of the head with a thunder-bolt, and brought me to the boat. On approaching the shore I perceived a great crowd on the landing, and on disembarking looked into the cause and found Miller surrounded by such men as King Henry ' , C3TUS the Great, Caesar, and George Washington. Upon inquiry I found that they were discussing the Silurian Age, and .going around among the crowd a little more I discovered Clark trying to take it down in shorthand for the Elysian Fields Pre.ss, published Ijy Cain and Cohnnbu-,. On seeing me Clark dropped his work and rushed at me with open arms, and after a touching meeting he offered to show me over the realm, which offer I ac- cepted and we started down Ramses Street, where at the comer of Euclid . venue we ran into Keller trying to .sell Diogones a coat and trousers hanger. ' e left him and went up to the post-office where we met Snead Brothers, who, as I heard later had just superseded Castor Pollux. Day was run- ning a school in opposition to Socrates. After proceeding a little farther we met Palmer, who was running a hair dressing establishment, and who told us that Miss Long and aiiss Quillen had taken to the woods .uid joined Diana. We stopped in at Homer ' s Ice Cream and Soda Parlor, where we foinid the ever pleasant Miss James clerking, and while waiting for our nectar, Clark told me that Miss Hastings was taking art under Apelles on East Zenophon Street, and he aLso said that Miss Jones was at that time very bus - making out a table of genealogy for Adam, and I could not .see her. . fter a little more chat I slowly went to sleep, and suddenly was disturbed by the thun- derous ringing of my alarm clock which said I had ten minutes to get ready for breakfast. Prophet Class Voem M Class of 1904 In tlR- lialls of dear old Taylor, where the inind is taught to think, And the students solves life ' s problems with the quickness of a wink ; In these halls of classic learning where true knowledge reigns supreme, There exists a class of Freshmen, the greatest and wisest ever seen. The sage old Seniors think they are the greatest that ever can be, But the greatest of the Seniors know not half so much as we. The Junior poses as the wisest and the best man of the age, The Sophomore as the brightest and smartest on life ' s stage. The Freshman does not fall an heir to these peculiar ways. But works and makes the most of life in all his college days. We Freshmen, though a little green you all may think we are, Surpass in w-isdom, truth and power all other men, b3- far. The wisest men and noble.st maids that Taylor has today. Are in the noble Freshman Class, as all good judges say ; If these things you don ' t believe and think they are untrue. Just wait for Nineteen-hundred-four and see what we shall do. Thalonian T halonia n Society MOTTO—- A ' OFFfCEA ' S H. C. McBride President G. P. Dougherty Vice-President L.

McBride T h alonian Society ME and again has history repeated itself in substantiating the assertion that the student who is simply a book-worm is not the greatest benefactor of mankind. A student may be ever so well versed in book lore and very apt in assimilating related ideas as he gleans them from the text and grasps the thought of the writer ; but put him before an audience and ask him to give expression to his views, and at once the deficiency of the man becomes apparent. The old adage — prac- tice makes perfect ' ' —expresses more than half a truth and one so vital in its effects upon the student ' s subsequent life that he cannot afford to be negli- gent as to its import. The jeweler may take a diamond in its crude form, separate it from the foreign substances and re -eal the gem ; but it is only after it has passed through the polishing process that it shines in its lustre and glitters in its native brilliancy. The analo.gv- holds good with reference to the student ju.st entering college life. His assiduity to studies and increasing aptness to grasp new thoughts will reveal the man ; but his intrinsic worth appears only after he has passed through the polishing process afforded by Literary Societies whose prime object is to educate the student in exercising self control and proper deportment before congregations. A man never knows how little he really knows until he has attempted to tell it before an assembly ; so ob -ious is this truth that it needs no proof for confirmation. The prime obje ct of the Literary Societies of Taylor Iniver- sity thus far organized seems to be to aid her students to improve their edu- cationary faculties, elegance of expression, and to present an appearance before the public, showing perfect mastery of self and an attitude at once pleasing and impressive to the hearer. The Thalonian Literary Society has had its proportionate share of the students of the T ' niversitw who were desirous of obtaining such an educa- tion. Its motto •• k ' nozc Thyself is the foundation upon which a student must build in order to attain to the highest eminence afforded in this line of education. The Society has had many obstacles to overcome and difficulties to meet, both of which may to some degree be assigned to the fact that the majority of the students attending the college are not able financially to aid the Societies in securing the requisites essential to such a course of training. Nevertheless the Society- has been -er.T,- successful in its work and many a Thalonian has graduated from his course of stud}- which he was pursuing. and has since his graduation reflected great honor upon tlie Society for the peculiar training and polish which he received while under its care. One special feature belonging to the Society work is the parliamentary drill afforded to the members in the regular business sessions. This drill in parliamentary rules is of inestimable value to the professional student and at once prepares him for emergencies in his professional work. An important departure was made by the Society, and one which promises to be far reacliing in its results, the inauguration of a Literary Prize contest open to all the members of the Society. The members entered upon this feature of Society work with some hesitancy, but the first attempt was so successful and its results so far reachi ng that the Contest will doubtless be permanentl - incorporated in the literary department. A new impetus has been given to the students engaging in this line of work and the spirit of progress is manifest. The efficiency of the Society as a literary organization in giving students special training along these lines of education has been such that we can reasonably augur for it a bright future and a permanent place in the I ' niver- sit} ' . In Memory of the BraVe R SORROW that since tlif imblicatioii of the last eilitiou of The Gkm there has passed from the lanil of the hviiii one of the greatest heroes of American history: JIajor ( ' rcneral IIenr3- W. I avvton. General Lawton was horn -in ( )hio, 1 ut came early to Indiana. Between 1856 and 1860, he was a student at I ' ort Wayne Methodist ColleKe. It was here that he joined the Th=ilonian Literary Society. In 1861 having enlisted in response to the first call for olunteers, he was a Sergeant in the Ninth Indiana Volunteers. He ser ed gallanth- through the war and was mustered out as Lieutenant Colonel. He innnediately joined the regular army with the lowest commissioned rank. He became noted as an Indian fighter, and was repeatedly rewarded hj- the government for gallant and meritorious ser- vice. At the opening of the war with Spain, he was appointed Brigadier General, and later. Major General of ' olunteers. He was sent to the Philip- pines and in that clime, henealli the tri pi(al sun he bravely met the pale rider of the white hor.se. Seldom has Death ' s hand dealt more cruel blows. We respect General Lawton as a man, honor him as an American, love him as a Thalonian. His mentor} ' will live as long as the tips of the wings of the American Eagle are dampene l by the spra}- of two oceans.

Many very influential men were at its helm and successfully guided it on its voyage from port to port. When Fort Wa3-ne College came to Upland as Taylor University-, the so- ciety began anew with a good degree of enthusiasm, which was then and is now, the essence of its high standard and watchword of its achievements. The success of the society and its great literary attainments have been gained through that spirit of altruism and loyalty inspired by the beautiful emblem of purpose which has not nor ever shall cease to float above our ship which is now within its mooring and will never again be tossed on the waves in midocean. The hawser lines having been made secure, as a chartered society, we hail the success of the current year as well as the beginning of the new century, rejoicing in the fact of a promising library, and a gavel made from the wood of the Battleship Maine, presented by Rev. L. U. Snead ; also a life-size por- trait of Dr. Yocum, the founder of the society ; and last but not least, a beau- tiful piano, finished in antique oak, graces our hall. And best of all the society stands financially clear. We can look the whole world in the face for we owe not any man. As Lovers of Truth, it is the paramount aim to hold a lofty grade of morality and to develop the sesthetic taste in nature and art. Members of this Society have heaped honors upon themselves both in the prize contests and the scholarships of the instiution. The members of the class of 1901 are of more than ordinary talents, the majority of whom are faithful and lo3 ' al to the blue and white. Thus, year after j-ear as the different Alumni come at commencement time for their general reunions, we are proud to narrate to those who have formed the vanguard, of the rapid progress in complete equipment. In a few years the Society hopes to entertain her Alumni members in a hall all her own, which shall have all necessary conveniences and the mem- ber who has been absent for jears may return and find himself at home, among the new members as well as the old. As the soldier on the field of battle has his emotions set on tire through the love for his country and his soul filled with poetrj- at the sight of Old Glory so are they who have marched beneath the blue and white in old T. V. Thoughts of the past come chasing each other, each demanding recogni- tion and the retrospection is one that will inspire to gallant deeds of chi -alr ' and honor ? From our moored vessel have come those who have gone forth to bless humanity, not only in our land as ministers, lawyers and doctors, but as mis- sionaries and teachers in foreign fields. Buried in the dust of antiquity are the laurals of those who contended in the arena against gladiator or beast, mingling their blood with the dust and their dpng groans with the derisi e shout of the rabble ; but in the arena of life where the sublime contest of moral courage and national integrity wage war against superficial and frivolous issues, are to be found the rank and file of the Philalethean Society w ho have fought and won the hidden lore of ennobling contests, securing to themselves the enjoyment of singing with the victorious. Among our members are found the finest wheat from the trampled har- vests of many countries which, having blended with the sturdy Anglo-Saxon race, shall go forth to represent to the world that principle of universal brotherhood, which is characteristic of the Philalethean Literary Society. Philalethean Celebrities ilOXG the uniiiicnt aiul ixiiuwiicd personages, who have risen to add splendor and histre to the Philalethean Literarj- Society, are to be found those of marked indi -iduality, who are as Beacon 1 Lights in their various environments. Rev. George Wood Anderson, one of Philo ' s most loyal members and at one time a teacher in the college, is at present sen-ing as pastor of the Epworth M. E. Church, at Lima, Ohio. Not only is he an excellent minis- ter, but his fame as an orator and lecturer increases with each succeeding Rev. Samuel Culpepper sailed from enezuela to Xew York in 189(3. He entered school at Taylor l ' niversit - in the same year, receiving the degree of A. B. in 1900. He taught in the I ' niversity in 1900 and 1901, and in the spring of 1901 sailed for San Juan, Porto Rico, to serve as minister and mis- sionary. During his school term he had many calls to lecture and preach in various prominent churches. Jlr. Culpepper was one most loyal to the Society and before his departure, a beautiful gold watch-guard was presented to him as an insignia of appreciation. Miss Lenora Seeds, a si.ster of Miss Mabel Seeds, who has taught in the Universitv ' for several years, is wearing the blue and white as she goes from place to place on her errands of mercy in the Missionary fields of Japan. Her life was full of sunshine, and durin.g her stay and graduation in 1898, all who knew her learned to love her. Rev. A. J. A 1iipke_v is one whose elocutionary powers ha e been excelled by no other person in the Society. After graduation he was called to fill a vacancy where he proved himself worthy of the position as pastor of one of our most prominent churches. He is now in the gold fields of Alaska, where he is honored with a most promising pastorate. There are many others who have proven themselves equally worthv, of whom are : Messrs. S. P. Jamgotchain, R. L. Schrader, G. V. Andrick, E. A. Bunner, E. F. Gates. T. P. Shaffer, L. D. Peoples, D. I. Hower, C. A. Lohnes, together with numerous others we caimot mention here, but who have none the less honored the name and exalted the principles of the Lovers of Truth. Lovers of Truth W ' e love thy ways, oh fruth I In them we walk by right, No more from them would we depart Than darkness would from night. We lo e thy ways, oh Truth ! For in thee beauty lies, The touch that stirs a patriot ' ; With thee will harmonize. We love thy wa s, oh Truth ! For with the marks of time, With grandeur, greatness, glory, praise. Thou art of each sublime. We love thy ways, oh Truth ! For power in thee is found. With shackles that no hand can loose. The force of sin is Ijound. We love th}- ways, oh Truth ! For at thy just command — Philalethean that we are — With Spartan grit will stand.

PUE.STA DE.L SOL PB Saal ' - tarde ile liis railiantes ilias ile ] Ia o iba subit-ndo una colina que mm O ilistaba poco de la costa. Cuando alcanse la ciina me sente a S V H recibir la brisa cargada con las aromas de las cercanas flores ; esta 1 era la recompensa de los que subian la colina. El viento soplaba hacia el este llevando lentamente oonsigo majestuosas nubes blancas. A medida que el sol descendia sobre su arco estas palidas nubes tomaban un color rojiso. Era tan grande mi satisfaccion al encontrarme tan alto que nuichos pen- samientos se apoderaron de mi imaginacion. Recorde que Mirabeau, el gran orador frances, el ultimo dia de su vida miro al sol }- dijo ; Si ese no es Dios es a lomenos su primo. Estas palabras del patriota frances me inclinaron a mirar al sol que poco le faltaba para ponerse. Aquellas nubes llenas de gratitud por los ardientes rayos que el sol les habia dado, marchaban hacia su buen ainigo para desirle adios, acompanarle hasta el ultimo momento, 3 a lamentar su partida. Se iba haciendo tarde y el tiempo para el sol ponerse se aproximaba. Las nubes estaban banadas en lagrimas, sus rostros encarnados demonstraban su profunda afliccion, el fondo del firmamento se encontraba tan asul como el mar tras cuyo horison el sol desaparecia. Conteniplando estas bellezas de la naturaleza el sol desapa- recio de mi vista. I ' nos pocos momentos despues de esta esplendida puesta del sol el cielo se quedo casi solo, dos otres esparcidas nubes solamente pernianecian en el espacio, como el tiempo pasaba tambien su pena pasaba e iban penliendo su color encendido. Antes que la noche se acercase aquellas solitarias nubes decidieroii niar- charse, por temor que la noche las envolviera en su negro manto. Cuando las nubes desaparecieron no quedo en el firmamento un objeto que llamara mi atencion, en un cielo asul y cereno mis miradas se perdian, las penas de mi alma buscaban un consuelo, y mis pensamentos una solucion. Va era tarde, la noche se acercaba con paso apresurado, la iglesia del pueble- cito que se encontraba en el cercano valle tocaba la oracion, llamando a los fieles para dar grasias a Dios por los favores del dia y recibir su bendicion. Hallabame tan solo que me dispuse a decender la pequena pendiente e ir a la iglesia a ver si en ella encontraba lo qvie no habia encontrado en la colina, consuelo a mis penas y solucion a mis pensamientos. The School of Prophets MOTTO— ' Would Coii that all Itic Lonfs People -a ' cr Prophets that the Lord looiitd put is Spiiit upon them. ' •—Num. xi; ' 29. OFFICERS Rev. J. H. Shilling President T. M. Hill Vice-President E. B. FOLTZ Recording Secretary Minnie Morton Corresponding Secretary Grace WiesT Treasurer From a religious point of view the School of Prophets is undoubtedly the most important society organization connected with Taylor I ' niversity. It was organized in 1894 by our President, Dr. Reade, for the special pur- pose of furthering the religious interests of the University and of encourag- ing Christian activity among the students. The Prophets meet once a month, and the meetings usually include devotional exercises, a business session and a religious literary program. Nearly all the religious services of the I ' niversity are under the juris- diction of the Prophets. By means of various committees, preachers are supplied for the Sunday chapel services, leaders are appointed for the Thurs- day evening prayer meetings and arrangements are made for ten days or two weeks of special evangelistic services during each term. Street meet- ings are sometimes held in the village of I ' pland, and other very practical work is being done in the way of house visitation. The aim of the Prophets includes a desire to arouse and foster a lively- in- terest in foreign missions among our students, and one of the most flourish- ing features of the organization is the Missionary Department. A good pro- portion of the monthly meetings are given up to missionary programs, ad- dresses on the subject by returned missionaries and others are arranged for as often as possible, and several times a year a Sunday afternoon service is devoted to the cause of missions. At such a meeting held during the fall term of this year an offering of |75.00 was taken for the support and educa- tion of two girls, one in Japan and the other in India. We aim also to afford our members as much opportunity as po.ssible for Christian culture and education, and with this end in view, such political, sociological and religious questions, as ought to be studied and understood by all preachers and religious teachers, are presented and discussed with much enthusiasm in papers, short talks and debates. Like all other organizations, the School of Prophets has had difficulties and inconveniences to contend with, discouragements to face and hard work to do, but God has abundantly blessed us. At present we have a member- ship of about fift3% more than thirty- of whom are doing active service in the capacity of officers or on committees. We believe that our organi.:ation was called into existence by the im- pulse of the Holy Spirit. For this reason, and also because the God who has been with us, will still be with us, we dare to expert a future of pros- perity, of usefulness and of power, A ' e labor, we pray, we trust, GOD does the rest.

Dreams of History STORY teaches us of Thomas Jefferson, the discoverer of America, and the inventor of the nionke_v-- Tench. He was bom in the Sahara Desert in 1850, rocked in the cradle of the ileep and noursished on icebergs and walruses. He was the leader of the Romans in the Boer war, defeated Napoleon in his attempt to win Lady- smith, but was not able to cope with Cleopatra in arms. At Thermopylae he fell shouting, England expects every man to do his duty. History teaches us of William Nye, warranted fast color, a true son of his father. He was the author of In Memoriam, The Origin of the Species and Nursery Tales. When a mere boy he swam the Styx and discovered the Nortli Pole. He found the Aurora Borealis to be the reflcteion of the hot box caused by the friction of the earth ' s axle, and overcame the difficulty by the application of Barker ' s Cattle Liniment. In 301 B. C. he invented the popgun, and built the pyramids, which were used as toboggan slides. As he had no more worlds to conquer he fell on his sword and died, and on his grave are graven his last words, Sic semper tyrannis ! History teaches us of Peter the Hermit, a direct descendant of Adam and the ancestor of the great reformer, Richard Croker. In early life he grad- uated from the Upland High Scliool and took his Master ' s Degree from Ox- ford; his famous Gettysburg speech, delivered in his youth, won for him world wide renown. At the age of forty he entered the English Senate and introduced a bill to ostracise Hannibal; this so aroused the dreadful wrath of Achilles that a duel was fought resulting in his death. When Acliilles was asked how he had done it he replied, I did it with my little hatchet. In Vacation It IS lonely, O, m_v brothers ! For no more jou come and go, WTiere the pine-trees nocUling, whisper All their secrets soft and low. And the shadow nioving slowly. Glides unheeded o ' er the dial; Though each hour it measures, somewhere, Brings a triumph or a trial. Now the bell is swinging silent, In the echo haunted dome. While be3-ond its clear tones calling. Far from college halls a-oh roam. It is lonely, O, my brothers ! Where the twilight lingers long ; Yet your fartherst steps I follow. Through the silence with a song. The Two Roads Two wa -s lie open in life ' s race, Which men treail even-where; ' Tis idle ease, with sad disfjrace, Or toil, and triumph rare. Think not that fortune waits on chance. Great deeds demand great power; If fame be our inheritance, ' Tis not won in an hour. If life is pas.sed and little done. Too much was idle rest; If we great victories have not won, We did not do our best. The path to honor lies along The way of toil and care; He who by toil won Can never enter th not Our School While It Was Fort Wayne College By C. L . Clippinger CAME to our Institution on the 19th of April, 1880, beginning my ■M.rvice then as one of its teachers. Living in Fort Waj-ne for a number of jears, I became acquainted with some of the earlier stu- dents, and heard many stories of the first thirty years of the school. With the last twenty j-ears I have been quite familiar. The past is moving before me now as I write, like a panorama. I had thought of trying to recount some of these incidents for the Class Book of 1901, but time and space will not permit more than a reference to the days when Gen. Lawton was a student before our ci -il war, and when a part of the roof was carried off the main building ( in a storm ) while a young De- mosthenes was speaking in his Literary Society. Neither would one book contain all the accounts of the various amusing or pathetic episodes of which I have been an eye witness, or with which my ears have been re- galed. Nor would one large book suffice to narrate all the witty sayings which have pro -ided more pleasure and health than are to be found in drug stores. Neither could one book tell of the squabbles of various kinds that once caused temporary trouble in our school life, but are now fit subjects for laughter in these times of the students ' maturer judgment, and many books would not contain the memories of the kind deeds which these college days suggest. The reunion of June the 4th, this year, will bring out many of these things, as an unusual number of the students of the days of Auld Lang Sjnie gather at the seat of Taylor I ' niversity after many years of separation. Our college has always been humble, 3-et the number of its successful jurists and attornej-s. its physicians and ministers, its school men and women of all departments, and its high grade farmers is siurprising. Sunset The golden sun sinks ilown to rest, Toward the clouds that deck the west ; And as the eventide draws near, New beauties in the skies appear. The clouds are gathering in his wake. As if to say a last good-night; And of his glories they partake, WTiile he unveils his face so bright. Behold now bursts upon our view A scene, the fairest of the fair; As ever_ - purest, richest hue Bedecks the west with colors rare. There seems an artist in the skies, Possessed of superhuman skill. And lo ! he paints before our eves. The grandest picture, at his will. Numbered, shifting scenes are made. By shades and forms that come and go; And ever3- tint and varying shade Touch the clouds with magic glow. As if to stay the womlrous scene. The sun moves slower in his flight. And puts resplendent joy between The glare of day and gloom of night. The rose that spreads its crimson buds, Is pleasing to the raptured eye ; But here the roses of the earth All blush upon the evening sky. The earth would fain prolong the .scene. That spreads its luster far and wide; Wliile waving trees and flowing brooks. And all the hills are glorified. The scene is changing, the clouds are parting. Portals of night unfold. The sun is sinking, amid gleams of glory, Westward thro ' gates of gold. His splendor beams upward and gilds the heavens, Flashing across the sky. Transcendently glorious, he gives us the rarest Visions of mortal eye. There ' s form and figure and cloud and .shadow. Each fulfilling its part. There ' s purple and crim.son and gold and yellow, Blended with rarest art. The shadows are mingling, the colors are changing. Tokens of night appear; The picture is dimmer, the clouds climli higher. Darkness is drawing near. Far above the ea.stern hilltop, shadows gather overhead. Falling on the earth more gently than the evening dew is .shed ; And a quiet, peaceful stillness cinues upon the balm}- air, That but adds new charm and luster to tlie sunset scene .so fair. Now a sad and solemn silence starts u] on the human heart. As we see the wonderous vision slowly from the west depart. And as night soon casts her mantle over all the joys of day, So the fairest of earth ' s beauties, quickly fade and pass away. . h, how vain is earthly glory, quickly as a fleeting breath, Men may pass from highest honors to the .sad despair of death. But a life that ' s true and noble casts its golden light before, Though it seem to set, it only rises on a fairer shore. Departments i Wink J f The Chapel B N ' Till ' .

Diiriiii; last siiin- I ' I nn.r the third flour of JIaria Wri.nlit Hall, which U]) to that time W had been unfinished, was fitted up for a Chapel, and it is now the SSyj pride of the students, being the finest hall in the I ' niversity. It is a large airy room with a seating capacity of five hundred, fully sufficient for all occasions. It is finished in -white and furnished with new chairs. All the larger devotional meetings, be,sides the regular morning chapels are held there and many a soul has found it to be a veritable upper room. The Com- mencement Exercises, which in former }-ears have filled all the other halls to overflowing, will be held this year in this room, and the interest in them will undoubtedly be increased because of the greater conveniences ofifered by our commodious chapel. The Library HE :Mooney Library hail its origin in tlie donations of books from till,- literar}- societies and from a generons donation from Rev. Geo. Mooney, D. D., of New York, in who.se honor it is named. Since the remo al of tlie l ' niver.sity to Upland the library has had a rapid A large nnmber of our friends have shown their interest in the in- by making donations of books and periodicals, and Dr. Mooney continues in the work of Iniilding up the library, encouraging and helping in various ways. We have now nearly li e thousand bound volumes cata- logued. In addition to these, we have a large number of valuable periodi- cals on file. On the completion of the new Chapel Hall the old chapej room was va- cated and in Se])tember li)01 liecame the library. It is a commodious and sunny room, comfortal)ly seated to accommodate those vhowish to studv in the building or to consult books of reference. All the books are available to students for reference ; while other than special reference books may be borrowed for a limited jieriod. No library fee is charged. Everything in connection with the library is free for the use of the students. In addition to the general library and subordinate to it, are the depart- ment libraries. These have been formed in the Theological, Historical, Latin and German departments. The largest of these is the Historical Li- brary, which, through the efforts of its founder. Dr. C. L. Clippinger, has increased in two years, to about three hundred volumes. Miss Grace G. Husted was l ibrarian for five years, followed in September 1898 by Mrs. Lillian St. John-Lewis, who still has charge. - f Iht ' HihwV .. f - jm H ki Mi B ' aiff ' fe Bj | mmlT -mIM|| a Commercial Department HE Coininercial Department of Taylor I ' niversity was es- ta1)lishe(l in 1893. Since that time it has grown so rapidly that today it is 1]y no means the least important of onr Departments. The effect of properly cjnalified T,oung men and women on the business world, as they enter the various lines of industry can be readily appreciated b}- those who recall the enormous extent of the many commercial enter- prises of the present. The specific object of the Connnercial Department is to provide that thorough training of oung men and women so necessary for life ' s work in the various lines of industry and business. While in the present state of educational progress it must ilo more or less academic work to compensate and supplj ' the deficiencies of the public schools, yet it is characterized throughout its Department by a business atmosphere. This aim is con- stanth- and consciously re.garded in determining the character of the instruc- tion oflFered and in the selection of the instructors. The subjects taught in the Department are those absolutely necessary to a business career, and the instruction in each branch is given with special reference to this end. Not only is the subject matter of each branch mas- tered, but its practical application is constantly kept in view. In pursuing any subject, its special applications and routine methods are noted, its im- portance developed, and its necessity in business shown. That this adds to the thoroughness and maturity of all the professional work will be evident. llile in all the work thorough scholarship is the aim, this aim is strength- ened, intensified, and clarified by keeping the professional end of application to practical life constantly in iew. Chemical Labratory 99 ' THE opposite pase is a partial view of the CheTiiical Labratory, I ra which is situated in tlie north-east corner of the ground floor. vJBt ' ' department, thoU! h small at its beginning, has constantly SSyj grown, and under the efficient management of the Professor in charge, has been thoroughly- equippeil with chemicals and apparatus neces- sary for all experiments. The object of this department is to present the facts in such a way as to awaken a love for the science no le.ss than to show its utilitv ; to illustrate its practical applications in the arts and to give an experimental knowledge of the properties of the leading elements and compounds ; to give the students a glimpse of the circle of eternal change, which is the life of nature, a life whose fountain head is the sun, and whose processes we trace in both the animate and inanimate kingdoms. Physical Labratory O DEPARTMENT of the I ' liiversity is better supplied with the a])paratus necessary for general detnoiistration than the Physical l.abratory and this high state of efficiency is mainly due to the mechanical genius and imtiring zeal of Prof. Ward. He has had ample opportunit}- to displaj- his powers and a glance at the apparatus he has made will show how faithfulh- he has made use of it. In connection with the Labrator}- should be mentioned the machine shop, equipped with a three-horse power engine, built by the Professor, a turning lathe and other nece,ssary tools. He has under construction at the present time a forty-light dynamo, which will pro -ide electricitj- for lighting and experimental pur- poses. Through his efforts there has been added to the department a large stereoptican complete. Our description of the Physical Labratory would be altogether incomplete did we neglect to mention the new Static Electrical Machine. It stands six feet high, five feet long by three feet wide. There are ten thirty-two inch plates for generating the electricity, and it is expected to give a large spark fourteen inches long. There are fifty parts in all to the machine, which is to be used in connection with X-Rays. The machine so far as it has been tried has been proved a success. The Senior Class F areWell At last conies the day of our parting;, With teachers and students so dear; I ' nbidden, the tear-drops are startinj , As quickh- our parting draws near. How oft have we had some kind token That strengthened affection ' s glad tie, But now friendship ties must be broken, And we must to each sa - good bye! No more thru ' these halls shall we wander. As in the .glad days that ha e passed; But still o ' er these scenes we will ponder, And long will their memories last. No more shall the.sc kind students greet us In class-room and chapel and hall; Vet tho ' they may never more meet us, Their kindness we oft will recall. No more shall our teachers instruct u; With lessons inspiring and true; Yet thoughts that the - gave, will conduct us To fountains of truth. e er new. For parting disturbs not the treasure Of wealth we have drawn from each fr And parting destroys not the pleasure Of loving them all till life ' s end. Our lives were made better and stronger Bj- }-ou who lived nobly and well; But now we can tarry no longer. We bid you a parting farewell. Earth ' s vineyard, by duty invited, ' e ' ll enter, with kindness and love. And tt il, till at last all united, ' e meet in reunion above. Vhilalethean Prize Contest Friday Evcniuii.

Those Dormitory Girls Oh, those ilormitory ,i;ii-ls, Pretty girls, How they catch the hearts of Freshies, with their curls. How they chatter, chatter, chatter. From the early morn till night. While the classes are in si.ssion. And I ' rofs practice their profession. With an exquisite ilelight. Keeping time, time, time, in a sort of Runic rhj-me, With the trifling conversation that so musically whirls. From the girls, pretty .girls, lovely girls, charming girls, Rosy, reel cheeked, gay, li.ght hearted, college girls. Hear the grumblin.g of the .girls, Sleepy girls, What a storm of misery now, this talkativeness hurls. In the startled air of night, - How they yell out, Oh, be quiet! Now too sleepy to chime in. They can only bear and grin. Out of fix. In a sleepy -like appealin.g for deliverance from the rest. In a mad expostulation with the deaf aril noisy best. But the noise mounts higher, higher. As if in a wild desire. And resolute endeavor. To drive from e3es forever, Blessed sleep. How they talk and laugh and roar. What confusion they outpour. On the bosom of the palpitating air. Yet the hearer fully knows. From the Tau.glin,g, And the jangling. How the excitement elibs and flows. By the sinking and the swelling in the t.ilking of the girls. A Case of the Blues Oh, a case of the blues is the saildest thin ; out, It is three times as liad as the grip; You feel angr_ - and cross and you mope and ou pout; And you fancy you ' ll soon go the trip. If you ' re niarried yi i wish yoii uxrc- single again. If you ' re single you want yini a wife; You couldn ' t be happy and act like a man, No. you couldn ' t to save your own life. If others are pleasant, you ' re not pleased at that. Because yon are feeling so blue; You ' d rather get angry and quarrel and spat. Than anything el.se -ou can do. Oh, your feelings are cro.ss and contrar_v and sad, And your heart is as hea -v, as heavy as stone; If your friends come about you it makes you half mad. And yon don ' t feel much better alone. If 3 ' ou ' re living in town you would like to get out, Wliere you wouldn ' t be seen for a week; There yon think you ' d enjoy a good, old fashioned pout, Strange you never could tell the maimer or wav, Bj ' which the sad malady came; You don ' t know whether by night or 1) - dav. But it gets there you know, all the same. You think this old world is all l arren and bare, With..ut a swi-et 11.. wit in sight; You think that this lilr is all sorrow and care. And nothing but darkness an l night. I can keep sort o ' calm in a dark thunder .storm, No matter how loudlj- it roars; I can hnmp up my back in a soaking rain storm. No matter how swiftly it ponrs. I can live pretty well in a set nf eartluiuakes, If they ilon ' t move Uie earth ont of place; I can rnn from torpedos anil lizards ami snakes. But when Khies come I ' m not in the race. Then !,ave me whatever may be niv .sail fate; Yes, give nie whate -er you chose; But oh, I beseech you by all tliat is . reat, Don ' t give me a case of the Blues! i. 1 1 1 1 1 1 5 2 w 3 1 1 1 £ 1 1 1 §. 1 1 a 1 2 I 1 1 X 1 1 1 .2 .

Just then eries , r tire In old bell pealed a fast, wild alarm. A hatless. breathli Theologians, headed by Professors Shilling and Wanl the staid old colle.gians, poured from the buildin.L; and wanl the boys durmitorv. All classes made a hastv adi Smoke and fire were beldiin.g forth fnnu McCoy and Braekney ' s room, and the cracklin.g flames seemed to sound the death knell of the old Dorm. Yelling, eager, frightened students ran hither and thither, some doing one thing, some another, very few knowing what the - were doing. Pans, ])ai]s and buckets appeared as if by nia.-ic. A score of men be.gau working at the fire. The inmates of the building were iu a iianic. Can ' t .save anything, boys, yelled Underbill, as he threw away a pailful of dirty water and ran to get some clean. Kerns with characteristic wisdom threw his clock and violin out of the window and rushed ilown stairs tenderly carrying a pillow. ■ ' Let me at it, cried Woo.lall, as he dashed towanl the fire with a tin cup full of water. Ache, Himinel, Douuer and i;lit ,cii ! muttered Schwar .- kopf, as he struggled out under a load of lied clothes, while Rivera and Sanabria with terror on their faces, pantingly rushed down stairs j-elling, Caramba, look out 1 and began throwing .shoes, hats and other articles of wearing apparel pronii.scously among the crowil. Duncan rushing up stairs to the fire with eager haste, and .getting a stream of water in the neck and a shower of oldshoes andrubbers on his head, says, I guessl ' m not wanted, and goes back. Retz claps the climax Ijy throwing his trunk out of a second story window, narrowly missing Woodring, who was clind)ing out of a win- dow below; an.l Sickel, near the fire, throws a bucket of Nsater all over Dougherty and cries, ■ ' All out ! h ' ire is cpiickly eNtiugnished through the efforts of our heroes urged on by the smiles of the ladies, ,ind the world soon forgets the awfnl conflagration and holocaust.

A Tale One of our students from the First Ward, one Sharp Da - started for the Warr. He walked over the Hill, a Ball and a Shilling in his pocket, a little Kerr at his heels and a First Reader in his hand. He made the Pjne and Holly Woodring with popular Ayres and started the Coons which were mak- ing a feast from Seeds and Kenis dropped by a Hocker. He had an Asay passage down the River — a fishing off the lower Deck, until the boat struck a Scholl, when he became a Sharer in the Petty Evail.
