Hu4mm‘Kimbrrli i’mbtohlag mi amg, City M • OWING it to be tin custom for the Junior Class to publish the Annual in most high-grade schools, we feel that a word of explana- tion is fitting with regard to the present edition. The three other classes thought they wanted a “finger in the pie,” and so the Juniors allowed them to help bear the burdens and receive some of the glory in publishing this most delightful, entertaining, and novel(V) Year Book. The editors have not considered themselves a board appointed to criticise and cor- rect, but conceive it to be the function of an A nnual to reflect the life of tin school during the year, to foster an harmonious equilibrium of general good will, and a sturdy spirit of loyalty to its institution, and to effect a closer mutual sympathy among the component factors of the institution: and to this end have they directed their efforts. We are aware that we cannot please everyone. Our aim has been to please the largest number,and if you find anything in this volume which does not suit your fastidious taste, please stop and consider whether you are in the majority or minority and how much .you have aided the publication. It is our purpose also to roast everyone, and if you do not see your name under “Grinds and Jokes, ” look for it elsewhere: then if you cannot find it. just consider your case hopeless, and be assured that the only reason we left you out was that we could not get the fire hot enough or our grind stone wheezed too much when we applied you to it. The ones most roasted are the most popular people in school. Hoping this publication will merit at least a cursory (not curse) glance from you, and wishing for you, our fellow-student, the worst thing possible, the climax of success in school life that you may some day become the editor of your College Annual, we remain your humble, obedient, and much-abused (?) servants, Tiik Kditows.

I K k H %f } TCI! like tin beginnings of many noted movements and the early life ol many celebrated men, the infancy of the Senior ('lass is veiled in obscurity. As Minerva sprang full grown from the brain of Jupiter, so did this class burst suddenly upon the astonished and delighted gaze of the Faculty as tin Sophomore Class of 1900. Those to whom the term “Sophomore� ” brings only visions of the Sophomore Classes of 19OM902 can have no conception of the glory and renown which the term then carried with it. Such was our prestige, that a number of Junior left.their class to become members of ours, while the Freshmen wearily awaited the time when they, too, could answer to the illustrious title of Sophomore. The opening of the Junior year found the class much smaller, «is tin members had been eagerly sought byanxious school boards. The class grew steadily throughout the year, however, and one of the most pleasant social events of the year was the Junior reception given in May. 1901. But it is as Seniors that we first feel ourselves approaching our true level. Indeed, such is our admiration for the year's work that it is whispered a few of our number are taking it for the second time. The latter, however, is tradition, not history. One act of ours which received many favorable comments from students and faculty was tin conducting of chapel exer- cises on the Friday before the Christmas holidays, and the presentation to the School of a handsome portrait of Mr. Kirk. And now we must close the record. The true history «if the Senior Class of 1902 is yet to be made and though our brightly col rod fancies fade into dull realities, yet in his heart every Senior will cherish fond memories of our dear old Normal a id will ever lie numbered among its most loyal supporters. :o I I CLASS ROLL i i “Pray You, Forgive and Forget.” If.

PON us falls the duty of writing the history of the Junior ('lass, anti the Question immediately arises. How shall we relate the story?” The duty of the historian requires that we lay aside the mantle of dignity that now en- velops us as Juniors and describe ours Ives first as Freshmen, for we were Freshmen once, sad to re- late; indeed, it is whispered that some of us were Freshmen twice, bat that is not authentic. The scene opens on a soft, sunny morning of September. 1829. Our members hail d from tlie four corners of this great Republic, one from far- off Pennsylvania, one from sunny Florida, while on from that land where rolls the mighty Oregon. From the very external aspect of those of us who were wandering through the building one would easily recognize us as Freshmen. If the expression on our faces was any index to our feelings, the observer might venture to remark that we were in a state of extreme trepidation lest we attract the attention of the haughty, boastful Sophomores. .We were a large, green class. In- deed. oui verdancy was so striking that even tin atmosphere was almost tinted by the reflection. According to long-established custom, we were wel- comed to the school by a reception tendered us by the V. V. and Y. M. C. A., which we attended with fear and trembling. Finally the class met in secret session and was duly organized. Class yell and colors were decided upon, and now we began 10 feel that we were a more imponant factor. We were very loyal and patriotic, but not at all boisterous nor egotistical. Thus we timidly proceeded during the first few weeks of the year. But it was strange how soon we learned the ways of the school. Within a short time fome of our number had learned to cut ’ classes, talk about Exam..” Prof.. Flunk. and Frat. with the zeal of older students, while some even learned how to ride ponies. but they are not with us now. for Freshmen who learn to use ponies never become Juniors. They ad- vance backwards. Our first year, however, was very prosperous and we grew rapidly in knowledge and power. We worked hard to keep from thinking. We spent many weary days and sleepless nights in trying to conjugate wo and we fought round after round with the Binomial Theorem. We lest no time in impressing upon our instructors the im- mensity ot our intellects. In Athletics we played a conspicuous part. We were very proud of our braves when they won fame and glory by defeat- ing the Sophomores in- a tug-of-war. Now our trials and tribulations as Freshmen were over, and although we had enlarged our bump of emulation, we were very far from becoming conceited, for we received our full quota of “flunks.” When we returned to the classic balls as fuil- lledged Sophomores, v possessed an air of ease and self-confidence in vivid contrast to that of the previous year. That ethereal cfuality. class loy- alty. was manifested by all. Ours was the first yell to resound through the majestic trees of the Campus and startle the trembling Freshmen. Ear- ly in the year basket-ball and base-ball teams were organized. Victory followed victory. The most valiant deed was the utter routing of the Seniors in a game of ase-ball. But Athletics was not our only point of excellence, in mental activities we always took the lead. We found no ’ologies or 'isms of sufficient weight to forestall the overflow- ing of cur effervescent ernniums. In fact, the mem- bers of our class were so in demand by the school lmards of the State (?) that many of them were persuaded to accept positions of honor and trust, and they are now upholding the dignity of our school by their superiority of discipline and method. As a result, the beginning of the present year found us few in number. As Juniors we met with new responsibilities, but during the two previous years we accumulated so much wisdom and strength that we were well equipped to me t with all difficulties which might be encountered by us. In due time the class was regularly organized, officers elected, and all other preliminaries attended to. such as class colors and yell. We chose as President our most genial and jolly member. Mr. Johns. Our prospects this year were brighter than they had been any previous year. What we lacked in quantity we made up in quality. The Juniors are a class that contains more knowledge and less conceit, more bright stars and less sports, than any other class in the Normal. In on!' laboratory experiences wonderful results are accomplished and great accuracy ob- tained. Hut it has required great effort and much self-denial on our part to meet with the require- ments of our teachei of this department, for net even Juniors, with all their zeal and enthusiasm, can. without reluctance, deny themselves the sweet- ness of slumbering until the late hour of the morn- ing each Saturday for the sake of getting mor Chemistry. But the result of our achievements is brought otit vividly by tin skillfulness with which we deal with the sines and cosines of Trigonometry. In- deed. the intellectual power manifested by this class is .-o great that Mr. Harvey marvels at its immensity t? . In our endeavors to gain knowledge we have not neglected our social duties. We have always maintained a proud and superior position in so- ciety. We have within our number a Tall Bell who can sing like a Finch and Dance with such charm- ing Grace, and whose Buby lips are so bewitching, that even the Senior hoys can but admit that Plato himself had not surveyed unmoved such charms as siie displayed.” As a Junior Class we are glad to say that in everything, which we have entered upon, peace and harmony have prevailed, and as summer is near at hand we will soon lay aside car hocks for a few weeks and our experiences as Juniors will remain only as memories of a happy and prosperous year among pleasant companions. When autumn calls ns back again, may net one I.ink be missing from the golden chain which has been woven, but may every member return with renewed determination, and may we as Seniors never be found idle, but always pressing forward for the mark of the prize of the high calling as it is in Seniordom. 43 r v.

XASMten as all groat organiza- T’’ tlons arc accustomed, for the enlightment and edifica- x tion of mankind, to transmit, a record of their noteworthy achievements, we fool in duty bound to submit to our con- temporaries and to posterity a historj of the Sophomore Class of 1902. One could hard- ly fail to guess, looking at out- class picture, that we are Sophomores, with all the dignity, true worth, and ability that the name im- plies. So strongly is Minerva’s stamp impressed upon our smiling, eager faces that the truth could scarcely be evaded. The Freshmen, thinking of th heights to which we have climbed, regard us in open-mouthed wonder, or murmur half uncon- sciously. “Oh. what must it lie to lie there! .lust tor their consolation, we will lay aside our mantle of dignity and say. that we were not always Sopho- mores: we. too. were Freshmen once: indeed, it is whispered that some of us are Freshmen yet. Where the class originated is a mystery. Some were evolved from “Model” girls and boys: many were formerly deestrict skule teachers : while a few were members of the Sophomore Class cf 1901. but. through deference to the earnest request of the Faculty, postponed graduation until 1902. These heterogeneous elements have blended to form a class in which learning is at a discount and genius actually runs riot. In the early days of our Sophomore year there was issued a procla- mation calling for a meeting of all Sophomores in Room 20” for the purpose of class organization. On the day appointed many were the faces that greeted the presiding officer as he called the house to order. We possessed latent powers of organi- zation, which scon manifested themselves in the ele- vation to the presidential chair of the most hand- some young man in the Normal. L. It. Wescott. With such a true and worthy leader, how could our class he otherwise than a success? And truly it has been. From that time each Thursday after- noon we have enjoyed a very pleasant and profit- able hour in class assembled. Our programmes have been of a very interesting character, and from time to time wo enjoyed rare literary treats. One of the most pleasing features was a weekly issue of a newspaper entitled The Snplmmnn lln-ald. which was edited each week by different members of the class. Only too swiftly the few short months slipped by and we found ourselves at the beginning of our second semester's work. The class exercised excellent judgment in the unanimous re-election of our esteemed President, whose pleasing manner and true worth had won the confidence of all. Other officers of the class are no less deserving of mention. Our Vice-President. F. M. Sipple, needs no commendation from our pen. As class orator he speaks for himself. Of our beloved Secretary. Miss Damron, nothing can better express our ap- preciation than these lines from the poet: None know thee but to love thee: None name thee but to praise. Our Treasurer. It. B. Hodges, is indeed a young man of principle, who commands the respect of all. To whom else would we entrust the manage- ment of such vast sums of money? Last, but not least, comes our faithful Marshal. .1. F. Burch, who is ever at his post, willingly performing every duly assigned him: he merits our praise. Fnder the management of this efficient corps of officers, the class has made decided progress during the past few months. In Athletic circles we have been well repre- sented. We have carried off many laurels at basket-ball and foot-ball, and the same is prophe- sied for the base-ball team. In our class work we rank with the most honorable Seniors, many of whom may be seen among us. clearing away all stumbling-blocks which impede their progress towards the longed-for goal. We feel that we have accomplished much, and if. after passing through this year of vast accumulation of knowl- 49 edge, some of us discover that we do not know all things, we have the consolation of having forgot- ten many things which most people never learned. With this bit of self-comforting solace, we are ready to bid farewell to our Sophomore days and all that pertain to them. We have spent a very happy year, and one long to l e remembered, for not in this Annual alone is our class history written. It is written on the minds and hearts cf the students who constituted its membership. There it exists in all its glowing character, ineffaceable, truthful, elo- quent. and through all advancing time shall still remain to remind us cf that time when all things wore for us the beauty of the spring-tide of life. Blessed is the student that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly Freshmen, nor standeth in the way of Juniors, nor sitteth in the seat of the Seniors. But his delight is in the way of the Sophomore, and in his way doth he meditate day and night. nd he shall be like the tre- planted by the lake of the Campus, that overshadoweth all the others. For he is clothed with majesty, honor, and knowl dge; his name was established of old. yea. it is everlasting. The Freshmen have lifted up their heads. () ye Sophomores! They have lifted up their voices and said. WE ARE THE FRESHMEN. But the Sophomores are mightier than all these, v a. than all this freshness. Vet from these children there cometh the cry. O Sophomores, hear our voice! Let thine ears he attentive tc the voice of our supplication! If thou. O Sophomores, shouldst take a notion. O me! who should stand? Freshmen, our hearts are not haughty, nor our eyes lofty, but we exercise ourselves in great mat- ters: In things that shall he thine. Let all of you hope: let each member rejoice, for this shall be thine inheritance. Walk about the building: even go round about her: toll the Sophomores thereof: mark ye well their graces: consider their ways, that ye may tell it to the class next following. Why do ve Seniors rage, and ye Juniors imagine vain things? When you consider our superiority, the work of our genius, knowest thou not that we are little lower than the angels, and that our wings are already sprouting? Out of ibis Normal cometh a voice and saveth: dictions things shall he spoken Of thee. O Sopho- mores’ In the Year Book will I make great men- tion of the?. That thou art great, thy wondrous works declare. On the page of the beautiful, many shall there be who are Sophomores. Page after page shall b? illumined by illustrious names, and of those that stand out most prominent it shall bo said. This one and that one are Sophomores. Then lift up your heads. O ye Sophomores, and be ye lifted up. ye everlasting Sophs, and wear a crown of glory evermore! Tremble, thou walls, at his mighty presence! Bow unto him. ye ever- greens Freshmen ye pines and cedars! Burst ye into bloom, ye gladdening buds! Waft unto him thy perfume and sing unto him. ye southern zephyrs! Ye Faculty shall see this and wonder; ye Ju- niors shall stand in awe: ve Seniors shall flee like rams, and ye little Kreshies like lambs. Then we shall say. How happenest it. O thou Faculty that thou wcnderest ? ye Juniors, that ye stood in awe? ye Seniors, that ye fled like rams, and ye little FieshUs iike lambs? Have mercy upon us. O Faculty, have mercy upon is. lest we lose our health. Knowest thou not that it is vain to rise up early and to sit up late? We know thou art most learned; we shall not want. Thou makes! us to bear down cn Geometry, thou drivest us into tin library of History. Thou makes! us to dissect all kinds of bugs; thou pullest us into the rooms of the Training School, for its name's sake. Yea. though we stumble through the campaigns of Old Cmsar, in thee we rejoice. O Sloyd. for thou art pleasant ?): thy saw and thy plane they do comfort (?) us. Thou exp;«test us to write theme after theme, and to read in the presence of out enemies. Thou presentest us with the skin of a sheep; our joy runneth over. Surely pen pictures and minor melodies shall follow us all the days of our lives, and we shall dwell in the Hall of Fame forever.

But to those sympathizers whom chance may direct to these lines we will say that we hope the joys and sorrows of our present life may be appreciated. Since the inauguration of the administration of President Kirk, the Freshman (Masses have been well organized, meeting each Thursday afternoon for a short period, during which time programmes of good literary and social value have been atten- tively listened to and enjoyed by a large gather- ing of Freshmen. The work of the Freshman Class of this year has never been surpassed by any of its predecessors. The general consent at the beginning of the school year was that our class meetings should be held each Thursday afternoon, not only for literary purposes, but also for social development. Many of our classmates had for the first time bidden good-bye to home influences and had come to be and live as. so they considered it. “strange people in a strange land. But these feel- ings were soon dispelled by our short and enter- taining programmes and the jolly, all-round hand- shakes which ensued after the programme had been rendered. Our programmes generally con- sisted not only of recitations, declamations, studies of the lives and works of literary men. and papers on the current topics, but they were also made up of some interesting debates upon important his- torical questions by able Freshmen, both young men and young women participating. We have taken the lead in a movement which has been sanc- tioned by the President of our school, and we hope that ere long the other class organizations will see wherein their young ladies are being deprived of benefits which should be theirs and arrange for them to engage in debates. At the beginning of the second semester the Freshmen organized a basket-ball team. It was not long after this until we received a challenge from the Sophomores to play their worthy team. The challenge was accepted and the game was played. Challenge after challenge was issued and accepted by the two teams till at last the Sopho- mores. admitting that they were no longer hopeful of victory, declined to engage in another contest. Our class has been a success in every respect. Our selection of class officers has been a most ju- dicious one. it would have been difficult to have selected a more competent young man than our class President. He has always been honored and respected among his classmates, and by his up- right bearing in all matters has served largely to bring forth this strong characteristic—freshness- in t lie body which he represents. The usual char- acteristic which was mentioned by the historian of the Freshman Class of last year is not lacking in the present class, for we have a large number of beautiful young women and homely young men. Two of our girls will appear on the page in this Year Book devoted to the twelve most beautiful young ladies in the school. We are Freshmen only in place, not in reality, and throughout the year we have well remembered that: The heights (?) by Freshmen reached and kept Are not attained in broad daylight; But we. while other classmen slept.

HEX in ages long since past, two signifi- cant words from the most flexible of lan- guages were combined to form one word which characterized the students of that age. then came into existence that word which aptly belongs to the members of our Philo- mathean Society. The standard set bv the Philos is but the standard which all lovers of learning would strive to reach. Situated in one of the most pleasant corners of the Normal building is the beautiful room which the Philos are fortunate enough to call their own. Here have struggled and shaken many of the men and women whom now the old Alma Mater is proud to number as former members. When first organized in 1873 the Baldwin Insti- tute undertook the work with the zeal and energy such as its founder could always infuse. In a short time, perhaps a year, the society assumed the name which it still retains. Though at first small, with some ten or twelve members, the society has grown each year as the former members have left, and at the present time has an enrollment of forty strong members, who are striving, as did those of yore, to keep the Philomathean Society the fore- most one of the school. I'seless. and indeed a task, it would be to name all its famous members. We need but bead the list with some of its first mem- bers to establish at once a precedency. Our Super- intendent of Schools. W. T. Carrington. Mr. Jam- ison. and Mr. Thomas are but examples of the char- acteristic Philo. Suffice it to say. we have our members of whom we are justly proud, and we have the m by the score. Programmes are given once a week, and By their deeds shall ye know them. An interesting feature cf the programmes at the present time is the unity of the subject for eaelt evening’s pro- gramme. Much strength and benefit lias been de- rived from the practice of considering one sub- ject in its different phases and going below the surface. Thus the primal objects are accomplished and shine aloft like stars, it is this spirit which will bring the 1 111108 in the future to the front ranks to take the places cf those who have in the past nobly done their part, for of the two score and ten medals that have been given in the school, nearly half of them have been won by Philos. Forty abreast we now appear upon the field, and how can we but win with such a noble bear- ing voiced of deep pride and worth. Our ranks are strong with members of our basket-ball leant, which lias lately b en organized. We are proud of our team and shall watch its progress with eager interest. Great credit is due our Presidents for this year, who have sustained our former pres- tige and have led the society cn to its present suc- cess. These have been Mr. Heyd. Mr. Dickson, and Mr. Imbler. and our newly elected President. Mr. Sipple, who is sure to keep up the standard. In future years, when cur hall will resound with the eloquent voices inspired by tin sight of the busts of the illustrious Shakespeare and Mrzarl and the world trembles with the tread of out- noblemen. then all the voices cf tin Philos blend- d with those who have seen, and heard, and appre- ciated true worth, shall cry out. as now we may with one accord, Excejsior!

I g _ _ __ —-, - .,- r _ _C. Alt back in the seventies, in an old and renowned Normal of our State, an au- tumnal flower-garden was planned which was to send its riches of fragrance and beauty down through the ages, to help and strengthen all who came within its broad range, and to teach the great truths which lie hidden in the purity and beauty of the cultivated flower. The cultivation of years has only enriched this primitive garden and so fitted it to more ably send forth its sweet incense, until to-day the Senior Literary Society in the grandeur of its purpose is As high as the throne of God. as deep as the ocean of truth, and as broad as humanity.” The individual flowers which, united in their great aim. attempt so much, are greatly varied in disposition and habitat. Indeed we have within our hall a representative of nearly all species of flowers,from the tall.awkward, and desolately lone- ly sunflower, whom we see in the person of Mr. King, to the small white rose, as personified by the fair, drooping head of Miss Watson. So also our flowers come from many different counties of our State, and even from other States. Mr. Sundry, cur stiff and waxy yucca, grew up among the hills of Adair County. The blossoms (words and thoughts) of this flower hold together well, espe- cially in debate. Our somewhat faded and withered lilac was blown to us from the pasture-lands of Linn County and. though rather decrepit in his present shrivelled condition, we recognize a once strong incense-giver in our President. Mr. Powell. In our Daisy. Miss Morelcck. we have a treasure which blossoms rarest In the field of elocution. As we consider the many human emotions and sympa- thies which flowers and vegetables have in com- mon with humanity in general, we can best classify our list. When you roamed through yotn garden last in that boisterous and insulting manner, how deeply the beets blushed, how bitterly the onions wept, and in what horrified astonishment the potatoes opened wide their eyes! These, as well as other emotions, belong to many of our flowers. The simplicity of the wild rose as it blossoms along the dear old country roadside, with its open, beauty- tinted petals, is only parallelled by the frank, old- fashioned sweetness of Miss Murray. The nam' “Wild Rose” applies still better when we think of Cuddle D0011. The morning-glory, with its vari- ous tints and colors, spreading itself in the breezes of morning, but abruptly closing up before eventide and giving forth more by its beauty than its per- fume. our censor. Miss Day. represents. Perhaps, however, she is. as the child remarked on seeing a half-blown flower, just a-comin into Glory. The little common prairie flower so well known by all is personified by Krnest Powell as he rears high his head and his countenance says: Am 1 not a dandy lion ? His greatest fault, I should say. was to be conscious of none. Miss Wells, with her open, unselfish face and gentle disposition, earns for herself the title heart’s ease. And Of all the bonnie buds that blow In fair or cloudy weather. Of all the flowers that come and go The full twelve months together. This little purple pansy brings Thoughts of the saddest, sweetest things. Likest to the full-blown peony seems our MarsTTal. Mr. McClure. His is always a face with gladness overspread. Mr. Arnold, the little flower which grew in the wheat, gets to visit Mills’ more often than the rest of us. Miss Tall reminds us of the dark-eyed marguerites which blossom and give out their help in quiet and restful seclusion. Mingling with the flowers and shrubs of our garden is a sour but useful fruit, a Lemon. To Mr. Gray belongs the name of fuchsia, as the natural outcome or’ his pompous splendor. Our pale and slender lily.characterized by its purity and fragrance, we knew as Miss Bartlett. There is also a French flower among us. which, were it Rng- lish. we should call either a coxcomb or a bachel- or’s button. Mr. Owen adds to our accomplish- ments in the personation of the small though beau- tiful verbena. Another flower blossoms among ns which we must notice here. Mr. Derfler was one of the young men chosen to represent our Normal in the inter-normal debate with the Ne- biaskans this year, because The wonder still grew That one small head could carry all he knew. We think that in time, as men look up to the height of the position at which he has arisen, they will declare, with the man who exclaimed at seeing only one vegetable on the table. Well, that beet ’s all. There are others In our garden who. though they are not all forget-me-nots. 1 hope will con- sider themselves forgotten not tho their nam� s do not appear here. The flowers just characterized serve to give some idea of the variety of our garden. Now to speak briefly of our cultivation during the year. In September, when work began, there wen not jiany flowers in our garden, but what there were were active, vigorous, and thriving plants. Our number has increased all year. At first our fertil- izers were obtained promisciously from the great fields r.f Literature. Philosophy. Science, and His- tory. Later we took our nourishment from the His- tory field more exclusively. During this period we took up different ages of History, discussing the literature, science, art, educational development, and political history of the period. Two-thirds of each evening meeting was de- voted to this work, while the rest of the programme consisted of a debate on some modern question or a current-events discussion. It was during this period that we were greatly benefited by talks from several numbers ot the Faculty. President Kirk at one time ga e us a delightful address. At an- other time we revelled in the delights of an hour with Professor Harvey. One evening also the Violette mingled with us other less noted flowers, and left a lingering presence of helpfulness in the atmosphere which has never quite all left us. After a while we began a new course of work along the line of individual history. The series. Great Men of All Ages. was commenced and is yet to be completed. One evening is given to the commanders, another to the artists, it actmi. De- bates. orations, talks, readings, and music are still used in the development of our great purpose. We have endeavored, in selecting our work, to cover only those fields which are most nurturing in what they give. It is our strong purpose to so direct our growth that bv individual and united self-effort we may attain the highest possible development and cul- ture. and. aided by the soft spring rains and gentle sunshine God has given us. send forth a greater fragrance to all. Our. doors are open, our posies, tossed by each gentle breeze, are nodding and beckoning to any who may wish to enjoy with us the strength which such a purpose lends. 4� 4� rjr $ $ tjr $ rjr $ $ $ $ $ « $ $ 0 ji?

X r% XrA WEBSTERIAN DEBATING SOCIETY. j$ 5� . • .£%� � )$ftiSZftSZn ZS� C?� £gfc fctS S Tit vSfos SB s'� T was April 9. 1899, that marked the beginning ot a memorable jS?2)i period in the history of tin Kirks- £|jlJSu ville State Normal School, for on __ that day the Wcbsterian Dcbat- B7jf ,f' ing Society made its appearance - as a full-fledged organization for the promotion of debate among young men. To the young man just coming from the farm it was indeed a long and daring step for him to affiliate himself with a regular school liter- ary society. To one who had possibly never even taken part in a country literary gathering the dig- nified. scholarly, and critical audit nee of a Normal School was an obstacle to literary development that could not easily be surmounted. Hut with twenty or twenty-five earnest fellows who had the same high ambitions for literary and oratorical advance- ment. and possibly with less training than himself - that was his chance, and he took it. The experi- ment was a success in actual development, popular from the start. In the joint d bate with th Ne- braska Normal, at Peru, last year. w« turnished one of the three debaters, and in the joint debate with the same school we this year furnished two of the three regular debaters and two of the three coaches; these debaters and coaches being selected as tne result of prelminary debates by a.committee representing both Faculty and student body. The programmes are given on Saturday nights, and many a stalwart fellow remembers bis first night on debate. Probably he could call hogs half a mile without a quaver in his voice, but in bis first speech he trembling stood up and manfully fought for two whole minutes his first battle in forensic debate. Possibly his enunciation and articulation would not pass muster in the Department of Elo- cution. but a few months later the same young man has agreeably surprised his friends by his ease, and perhaps eloquence, in public address. It is probably true that students of a normal school are peculiar in that there are few indeed who attend school two whole consecutive years. Al- though our full number (thirty-two) was on the records of the society the most of last year, yet when we reorganized our work this year only nine or ten old Websterians could be found. Thus ihe work was little different from that of organizing a new society altogether. We of course had a name and a constitution, but the latter was considerably changed. Mr. Frank Heyd. our first President this year, displayed much executive ability in finally getting the society on its feet. The young men who composed the greater part of the Society were just as backward at first this year as they were the last, and the development of speakers this year was almost exactly similar to that of last year, except that different individuals were concerned. Next year's development of speak- ers will probably be similar to this, and any timid young fellow entering school need not hesitate in joining the Websterian Debating Society at the be- ginning of school, since there will be others enjoy- ing his somewhat exciting predicament already struggling with problems of national existence as exhibited in debate. Besides the regular prepared debate, the ex- temporaneous debate is a prominent feature. In this the affirmative speaker is called to the floor and is then told the question which he is to dis- cuss. It seems like an awful plunge, but after a few lessons like that he is able to think on his feet—a long step forward in successful public speaking. Another frequent feature of our meet- ings is the discussion of current events, and the subjects for debates are often derived from present- day history. Thus it is our aim not only to think, but to be able to discuss matters that are in five liv- ing present. In addition to this, papers on special subjects, discussions, music, etc., have formed a pleasing variety to the regular debate. At the close of our second year's work we again find ourselves refusing admission to good, earnest young men because our constitutional limit has been reached. Our society has honestly earned the high regard in which it is held by the President and Faculty and the respect it commands among the students. Although we have only a history of two years behind us. yet in that time many of the strongest men iti school have had their names upon our rolls and have gone out upon the arena of life better fitted for its responsibilities and possessed of that which text-book knowledge alone could not furnish. May tin good work go on is the earnest hope of every loyal and ambitious Websterian 71 t V SOCIETY ROLL. ; Arnold. S. V. Gooding. C. J. Murdock. S. H. Beck. R. L. Hall. Archie. Nicholas. R. M Brown.

This year has been a decidedly prosperous one. That interest which characterizes the success of any literary organiza- tion manifested itself from the very first. Strong young men have been sought after and made members all along until we now number thirty- three. the constitutional limit. Old members were back in sufficient number to lead the way and start the Club off without the preliminary lagging so apt to accompany re-organization. The member- ship ranges thiough the four classes of the school, but by far the greater per cent is from tin- Fresh- man and Sophomore Classes. Among those of the two above mentioned classes are to be found our best and most promising debaters. Of course, all these young mm are just now in that sphere of college life wlmre talent responding to opportunity has for them little less than a lifelong significance. The Junior and Senior members approach so nearly to unity in number as to afford no room for worthy comparison. However, one Royal Senior among us. Mr. 11. T. Allen, is a debater whose tal- ent along that line is universally recognized, which fact is exemplified by his being selected one of the three gladiators to withstand the onslaught from Nebraska. Another of our strong men. .Mr. E. (). Jones, a Sophomore, figured conspicuously in th preliminary debates. The Club meets every Friday evening at 7:30 for a session of about two hours. Resides the two regular debates, a report on current happenings has proved a very helpful feature of the pro- grammes. Frequently papers are prepared upon assigned subjects and followed by discussion. In these and similar ways programmes are varied, but at the same time kept in close touch with the chief purpose of the organization. To this end is recognized more than one avenue of approach. No- tice o: duty two weeks in advance is found to give ample time for preparation. Problems that now most concern interests of the American people, as well as mankind in general, furnish themes for sound thought and able discussion in those of our debates wherein previous preparation is a part. Any violation of proper decorum may suffer re- proof by personal mention. However, awkward and stumbling efforts always receive the kindliest consideration, and no one takes offense at kindly criticism properly given. Now that the Claytonians are about to disband for the summer vacation, some to seek the guid- ance of the inquisitive youth, others that place where they are ever welcome to respond to fath- er’s call at early dawn and battle with pesty weeds or ride the Long Tom” over hallowed ground and think of the good commandments, it should seem fitting to cast about for some mental souvenir through which the C. I). C.” and old No. J might vividly appear in a retrospective view. For ex- ample. our diminutive President might be recalled by the noble front that bespoke no poverty. Then there is ”15. ( ., who ventured to suggest a cool- ing process for red-hot laws. Acree” is that ex- temporaneous fellow with speeches laid away. Also our worthy Vice merits special notice for his «■lose attention to official duties. That tact of Moore used in winning favor for the other candi- date was something amazing to us less gifted ones. May ilie Claytonians as individuals and as an organization ever seek to exemplify the character of that peerless citizen and statesman from whom they derive their name. I CLUB ROLL. 8 Aeree, It. M.

Stkli.k. It two or three centuries there have been societies f o r in c (I among young men for mutual help in living up to their ideals of Christian life and for influencing those w h o h a d f o r m e 1 no such ideals. The Young Men's Christian Association, as it exists to-day. was not formed, however, until Mr. George Williams, of St. Paul's Churchyard. London, influenced twelve young men to meet on June 6. IS44. and found a society for improving the spiritual condition of young men engaged in the drapery and other trades.” In 1845 a course of lectures which lasted for twenty years was inaug- urated by this society, and its field and its methods broadened until branches and similar associations had been formed in all the Christian countries. Every Young Mens Christian Association now aims to own gymnasiums, libraries, amusement - rooms, reading-rooms, and class-rooms, besides its rooms for devotional meetings, and many of them have employed registers, restaurants, baths, or any- thing that the special conditions of a community may suggest as helpful to young men. The good Influences that the Y. M. C. A. has had upon col- lege men. miners, sailors, and railroad men can hardly be estimated. Perhaps it can be said that the Association has done more for the railroad men than it has for any other class of men. The railroad branch of the Y. M. C: A. lias become so {thoroughly fixed in the public mind as a part of railroad life in this sec- tion that nobody wants to talk it down, and it does not need to be talked up. In earlier days the railroad yard, and round-house, and freight-house were hardly decent places for young men to be. Th railroad yard was populated, as it were, with hardy, strong, healthy young men. and was just the neighborhood for saloons. In these saloons were the pleasantest and most convenient places for rest and recreation. Philanthropic men tried to bring about a change by erecting buildings for railroad employees and establishing in connection therewith libraries, hospitals, rest-rooms and other things that would add to the comfort of men. These went on well for a while, and then failed. The Y. M. C. A. next began a work for the railroad Vice-President, Frank Hkyd. Recording Secretary, M. ). Brown. Kcho Correspondent, X. II. Randall. men which will last to all eternity. It prepared a soil for implanting religious beliefs of the right kind, fitted men for right living, furnished nice, lean beds and rooms for them, and helped them view humanity from an unselfish standpoint. And now. notwithstanding the saloons in the railroad yards, there are also Y. M. (’. A. buildings nicely furnished with bath-rooms, reading-rooms, harm- less games, and other accommodations which are helpful to young men. Besides the Railroad Y. M. C. A. there are two other branches—the college men's Associations and the Association in the cities. The great uphcavels in our large cities are simply evidences of their general conditions. These problems are nearly all of them problems that center around young men. The most difficult ones are those which the city Y. M. ('. A. is attempting to solve. Viewing the city work for the year that has just closed, there are many points of encouragement. First, there has never been a year in which so many new build- ings have been constructed. Besides the new build- ings. many buildings have been enlarged and re- modeled. It is also true that it has been a year of debt-raising on Association property. There now remain very few buildings heavily encumbered with debt. After the experience of the past ten years, it may be hoped that cities putting up buildings in the future will provide for the entire cost of the property. It is quite generally agreed upon by Association leaders that in tin average city that attempts now to organize an Association a building should be built immediately. Kven as great as the material growth in our cities has been, probably the most encouraging point is the growth in the religious work. It has been strong, and manly, and healthy, and spiritual. There is a great increase in the number of men in Bible classes. Interest in the young men of other lands has deepened. These interests natu- rally bring about this result, namely—that a larger number of men than ever are being won to Christ as a personal Savior. This year marks the greatest advance in that direction in the history of the movement in recent years. Much is being done in many places to reach working-men. The original idea, that the Association was to go where young men are, is again gaining ground. The successful work of at least one dozen cities in different parts of the country ought to lead every Secre- •rcooH : m«ivm)i (ixv tivii xoi.i.vDossv xvrxsian.) s.xaiv :� ioa tary in every manufacturing city to plan and execute some work for employees in manui'actm- ing establishments. The College Men’s Association is reaching more young men than an other organization existing to-day. The V. M. . to-day is the lead- ing factor in physical training: it has 500 gym- nasiums. 270 of which are in the colleges. There are enrolled in the gymnasiums of the V. M. C. a. 100.000 men. Through their influence the V. M. ( A. will have a decided effect upon the character of the race, giving to future generations strong .• bodies and making better citizens. The Bible class work that is being done aim ng college Association men must not b overlooked. It is a significant fact that gymnasium Bible classes have been, and are continuing to be, th- most effective Bible classes in the Association. The subjects in many of these classes are Bible char- acters with whom God was well pleased, such as Joseph and his noble revenge: Moses, leader and statesman: Gideon, the brave captain: David, the brave shepherd boy: David, the great king. The method is to tell the story of the man about whom they are studying in the teacher's own words. The teacher is as natural in this class as he is when talking to young fellows in his office or the locker- rooms. and the result is that every man feels en- tirely at home and feels free to ask questions or discuss the lesson at any time. As heroic char- acters are chosen, the courageous side of jjie hero is dwelt upon for some length of time, and point cd out as an example and as a type of Christ. Besides the character study of these heroes, then are many other phases of the Bible discussed: for instance, the Apostles and the life of Christ. In the study of the life of Christ there are severa! things considered. He is studied as a teacher, preacher, as a man with a heroic spirit, as a model to whom young men may look, a self-sacrificing and unselfish young man. and. above all other attributes, as a young man whose life and thoughts were entirely pure. flic local Association was established in this school on March 3. 1896. through the agency of State Secretary Gordon. It was organized with thirty charter members, with Mr. J. W. Hatchnei as its President. The officers of the V. M. C. A. are elected annu- ally in April. Those who have served as Presidents of ihe Association are as follows: .1. V. Hatchner. 1896: C. W. Murphy. 1896-7: O. 11. Bind. 1SP7-98: J. A. Do Tienne. l$9S-99; S. W. Arnold. 1899-1900: 'I'. M. Mitchell. 1900-1901: C. T. Goolale. 1901-2. The main purposes of the Kirksville Norma1 Y. M. C. A. an : to come in close touch with the young men of the school: to help them lead purer and nobler lives: to prepare good reading material for the reading-rcom. in order that young men may cultivate a love for good, wholesome reading: and to promote a spirit of sociability among the en- tire body of students, especially the students just entering school. In no way can some young men he reached except through the Y. M. C. A. Never before in the history of cur Y. M. C. A. has there been such an abundant supply of magazines, daily newspapers, and other reading material to which every young man in this school has had access. At the first meeting of tin Normal Association, in September. 1901. it was found that hilt very few of tin strongest members of the previous year had retained. Those who had returned were full of enthusiasm and had the burden of souls ai heart. Standing committees were ap- pointed bv the President as soon as was possible, consisting of the following: the Social. Bible. Religions Meetings. Missionary. Membership, and Finance Committees. About the first tiling that the young men did in the beginning of the school year was to meet students at the train, especially new students, and help them secure good homes. The new students were made to feel at home when they arrived at Kirksville through the kindness and sociability of the young men of the Y. M. C. A. The work of the Social Committee during the year has been under the direction of L. It. West- cot l. Two very successful socials were given; one at the opening of the year to the entire school, the other at the opening of the second semester to the young men. particularly the new students. During ihe past year the supervision of the Bible study has been under Mr. Frank iloyd. The object of the Bible Class is to help young men acquaint themselves with the life of Christ and form a habit cf daily Bible study. At the middle of the first semester three classes were organized, and while they were net very large, the meetings were deeply spiritual and the work very interest- ing. Two of these classes mentioned took up the life cf Christ, and the work was conducted by Messrs. N. H. Randall and C. T. Goodale. while th- other class, under Professor K. M. Yiolette. studied the Old Testament as a piece of literature. The weekly devotional services of the Associa- tion are under the control of tin Religious Meet- ings Committee, which provides a suitable leader for each meeting and selects subjects which are of a helpful and spiritual nature. The committee also provides for addresses by prominent resident and visiting speakers. A regular Y. M. C. A. quartette. consisting of M. O. Brown. X. H. Randall. L. R. Westcott. and C. M. Miller, was organized at the beginning of the first semester by the chorister. X. U. Randall, and it has added much to the de- votional meetings held each Sunday. It has been the primary aim to make the Sunday meetings purely informal and practical for the students, giving each one present an opportunity to take an active part. Perhaps what added as much interest and bene- fit to the Sunday meetings as anything else were the talks given first by Mr. X. E. Williams, of Shelbina. on the subject. The Practice of Law as a Life Profession : second, by Professor IL Clay Harvey, on Teaching as a Life Profession”: third, by Rev. Mr. Brownson. of the Baptist Church, on The Ministry as a Life Profession. These talks were given on different dates during the winter, and the chief thoughts were how much good one can do in each profession, and also that one should choose his field of labor in accordance with his adaptability and God's plans for him. Mr. C. .1. Goodding has had charge of this Religious Meet- ings Committee, and his untiring efforts and the good he has done in this department will never he blotted from the minds and hearts of the young men. Prominent among the departments of the V. M. C. A. is that of the membership work. It can hard- ly be estimated how much personal work must have been done during the past school year. When it is stated that at the very beginning of the first semester there were scarcely a dozen persevering young men in the Association, and now there are nearly one hundred strong, active young fellows, surely it is a fact that the Membership Committee has dene its work well and the Association has been remarkably prosperous and helpful. Mr. C. M. Miller has had charge of this committee and has always done his duty well. While it was the duty of the committee to get young men into the Association who would serve as active or associate members, we are proud to say that nearly all of our young men were active and ready at any time to work for the Christian cause. But the history of the work of our V. M. C. A. this year would be incomplete without adding the work of the Missionary Committee. Christ has said. Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature, and lo. I am with you always, even unto the end. We can not conceive of a grander cause than to carry the Gospel to every land. Mr. E. M. Dorsey has had charge of this com- mittee. and in each meeting questions of How can I help the poor heathen? seemed to permeate the very soul of each one present. China, India, and the Philippines were the chief subjects for discus- sion during the past year. These meetings were joint meetings of the two Associations and certain members of the two Associations were assigned different phases of the subject about which they were to talk. Good appropriate music was fur- nished each time by the quartettes of the two Asso- ciations. so that a missionary spirit was stirred up in the hearts of the young men and women. For the past three years the V. M. C. A.'s of the Xormal and the American School of Osteopathy have jointly conducted a lecture course. The pur- pose is to bring the best lectures and entertain- ments within the reach of the entire student body each year, and incidentally to pay the running ex- penses of the Association, to maintain the reading- room. and to establish a fund to send our delegates to I .«ike Geneva. The numbers given this year were: “Bob Burdette......I he Wesleyan Male Quar- tette....................rite Swiss Bell-Ringers. Fred Emerson Brooks. the California poet. He Witt Miller. and Thomas Dixon. The course was well patronized and was a financial success. Those who missed this course of lectures and entertainments missed something that should come into the lives of ali students. The young men of the Xormal V. M. C. A. have for a few years past felt the need of more thorough work among the various committees of the Asso- ciation and have been instrumental in sending strong, spiritual young fellows as delegates to Lake Geneva. Wis.. for the purpose of receiving instruc- tion along spiritual lines. The Lake Geneva Con- ference is held each year in the month of June, for ten days. J. M. Stelle was sent as a delegate to Lake Geneva from the Xormal V. M. C. A. last summer. Another very important event in the history of the Xormal Y. M. C. A. is in the fact that near the close of the first semester, through the earnest pleading of the College Secretary. .1. S. Moore, and the careful economy of the Xormal Y. M. C. A., seventeen energetic Christian young fellows, under the leadership of Professor Kirk, attended the Y. M. C. A. State Convention held at Columbia. This was an opportunity of a lifetime. While at Colum- bia the young men had the privilege of listening to such men as Carter Helm Jones. C. C. Michener. and D. O. Shelton. During this series of meetings, at one service 101 young men gave themselves to God. Through the efforts of College Secretary Moore, our school sent five young people to the Student YOUNG M EX S OH ICISTI AN ASSOCIATION COMMITTF.K ROOM. Volunteer Convention at Toronto, Canada. The two delegates from our Association were Mr. Burch and Mr. Goodale. This convention was in session for four days and was attended by about 3000 dele- gates. This was distinctly a missionary gathering and more than a hundred returned missionaries as- sisted in making the programme a success. At this meeting more titan $75,000 was pledged for the cause of missions. All those who attended the convention were impressed with the importance of this great subject of Christian activity in a manner they will not soon forget. The meetings of the convention, the incidents of the trip, and the many places of interest in Toronto formed subjects for excellent reports at a joint meeting of the V. M. and V. V. C. A. on til Sunday following the return of our delegates. At the beginning of the year the V. M. (’. A. determined to furnish standard literature to the school. Through the courtesy of the Philomathean Literary Society, the Association was given the use of the Society Hall as a V. M. C. A. reading- room. Realizing the force for good in the V. M. C. President Kirk presented to tin- Association Rot m 20 and the old Library-room as a permanent home and headquarters. It was soon seen that both rooms were greatly in need of repair, and scarcely had the rooms been granted when a meet- ing was called and a committee was appointed to act at once in securing men to repair the rooms. The walls of Room 20 were papered, the ceiling painted, a new floor put in and varnished nicely, and a general cleaning of both rooms was the result of this committee's work. The work having been completed, it was thought best that dedicatory ser- vices should be held and that the two rooms be dedicated to God. The Association was instru- mental in securing State Secretary K. 11. Burt and College Secretary .1. S. Moore to take charge of the dedicatory services. The two rooms were dedi- cated Sunday. March 29. 1902. a day long to be re- membered in the history of the Voting Men's Christian Association of this school. It was found that there was a small indebtedness after the two rooms were repaired and enough money was raised at this time to pay off this indebtedness. At the close of this year the Association finds itself well on its feet, flnancially. out of debt and money in tin treasury, and has prospered in a way that it never has since the dawn of its first existence. We believe that there has been seed sown in the Normal Young Men's Christian Association during the past year that will grow and he producing fruit as long as time shall last. r L ROLL OF ME,MBE,RS J Anderson, C.

IS name “Yeung Women's Chris- tian Association truly expresses the aim and purpose of the or- ganization in the institution. It is tlie true friend of every young woman student. It is that factor in the school which reaches out to help her into a higher and bet- ter life. Its aim is to induce the young women students to become followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, to develop the spiritual life of the Christian students, and to lead these young information that they may need. In this way the young women have been able to brighten the lives of many students in the beginning of their school life, and have thus brought a real blessing to them- selves. for the dear Savior, who hath humbly lived the perfect life of man. and who still lives and reigns in the hearts of so many lives, hath said: “Inasmuch as ye did it unto the least of these, my brethren, ye did it unto Me.” And it is written. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for there- by some have entertained angels unawares. Miss KOsk W'ku.s. Itoli ring I‘resident of the Y. YY. A. and Delegate to Lake Geneva and Toronto. women to devote their lives after college days are o'er to the active service of God. in their homes, in the Church, and in the foreign lields. There aie various ways and means of working in this student Christian life. At the opening of the school year, or at the beginning of a new term, the young women of the Association seek to give a warm Christian welcome to all new sister students. During these times a reception committee meets the trains, greets new students, aids them in find- ing desirable homes and in giving them any helpful During tiie first week of this school year the Association gave two receptions, one for young wo- men alone, the other a joint reception with the Y. M. C. A. The object of these receptions is to aid in developing a wide social and Christian feel- ing throughout the school. During the Thanksgiv- ing vacation a pleasant, home-like reception was given to those who did not have the good fortune to spend Thanksgiving with their loved ones at home. In no preceding year has the Association been YOI'XC WOMUN's 4'IIK1STIAX ASS «'IATIOX ICOOM. favored with so many temporal blessings which have aided very much in the interest of the work. Through tin kindness of the President of the school, and through the efforts of his dnught r. Miss Elsa, who lias been so great a substantial aid to the Association throughout the year, and other friends and members of the Association living in the city, one of the small Library-rooms was very cosily furnished for its temporary use during the first part of the school. However, the members had higher hopes, and these were realized on the 25th of December, when the Board of Regents presented to them, as a Christmas present, on of the choice rooms of the new building. This room, which is on the third floor and in the northwest corner of the building, has been beautifully and comfortably furnished and is now the pride of the Y. Y. C. A. Though this is only a temporal blessing, yet it is our home in the school in which the vital principles of the Association may better develop. The highest purpose and vital part of the As- sociation lies in its spiritual life and work. Every young woman is urged to unite with the organiza- tion; if she is a Christian, that the spiritual germ of her life may have an opportunity of living and growing in a healthful Christian environment, and of developing into a pure, true life; if she is not a Christian, that she may be won to Christ through the influence of her surroundings. Relieving that the spiritual part of life is the true IRe. and that the few days spent within the walls of learning are a marked part in the greater school of life, through which all are passing, the Association seeks to have every young woman value this as of the first and highest importance in her growth. For the purpose of aiding this growth two Bible classes were organized near tin opening of school, one in the study of The Life of Christ. the other in the study of “Tin Acts and the Epistles. The former, which has an enrollment of thirty-five, is taught by Rev. V. L. Darby, pastor of the C. P. Church of this city: tin latter, which has an en- rollment of ten. is taught by Miss Owen, professor of Elocution in the school. These classes have been truly blessed by having such able leaders. Regular devotional meetings of the Association are held eac h Sunday afternoon. The meetings are for the praise and worship of God. and for the discussion of some topic- that bears on the religious life; also a very short praise and prayer service is held each school day at the noon hour. On one Sunday afternoon of each month the Y. V. C. A. meets jointly with the Y. M. C. A. for the purpose of discussing missionary topics. In this way the Association tends to cultivate the missionary spirit, which is in the heart of every true Christian who remembers the great mission that is given to them by tin Christ, who said. Go y« into all tin world, and preach the Gospel to every creature, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have com- manded you: and. lo. I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. 'I'llrough the efforts of the Y. V. (’. A., the school sent three young women. Misses Wells. Reger, and Mathews, as delegates to the Student Volunteer Convention held at Toronto. Canada, in February. It is hoped that the inspira- tion gained by tin Association through the spirit of these delegates may work great good in the cause of the world’s redemption. Twice during the year tin Association has been visited by its State Secretary. Miss Constance MacCorkle. These visits are always looked forward to with much hope and pleasure by the members and truly many have received rich spiritual bless- ings from them. Last year the Y. W. C. A. sent on delegate, its President. Miss Rose Wells, to tin annua! Summer Convention held at Geneva. Wis. Through her efforts, as leader, the organization has made marked advancement. This year several delegates will be sent to the convention at Geneva and it is hoped that the growth of the work during the coming year may be the means of bringing many sheaves into tin Master’s Kingdom. 5)1 m vfoS' ROLL OF MEMBERS. m Adams.

The Inter-Collegiate Prohibition Association is a united Prohibition organization in the various colleges of the United States. Its purpose is to secure a more systematic and aggressive campaign against the legalized saloon of this land.

The financial phase of the liquor question, aside from its moral, ethical, and religious aspects, is ahlv pre- sented in a book entitled Wealth and Waste.” being now used by the members of the League as a text-book for the study of this paramount prob- lem. which is forcing itself upon the American peoplf for solution. In addition to the weekly meet- ings for study, a general programme is rendered each month, consisting of articles and poems from the pens of the ablest thinkers in this important movement. The State and the National Associations con- duct each year a number of oratorical contests. The contest in Missouri was held at Parkville. April ll: the National Oonust at Lincoln. Ne- braska. June :? and -I. The local League will make a strong effort next year to have a good represen- tation at the State contest. It is expected by the members that a zealous organization will be developed among the students who come to Kirksville next year, and that the Prohibition League will be one of the potent fac- tors in the preparation of young men and young women for lives of unselfish devotion to the best interests of humanity. 1)3 r s.

AFTER. J 4 SOME ITEMS OF HISTORY. . ot The State Normal School of the First District was created by an act of tlie Legislature in 1870. I: was opened as a State institution January 2. 1871. Adair County voted SI00,000.00 to secure tlie loca- ticii of the school. The present building and grounds cost a sum total of about $200.000.00. Dr. Joseph Baldwin was the first President. He resigned in 1878 to become President of the Texas State Normal School and left that institution for the chair «if P« dagogy at the Texas University in 1888. This position he held for ten years. He was then made emeritus professor of Pedagogy of the Texas University, which position he held at the time of his death in January, 1899. Dr. Baldwin was on of the most popular and widely known educational lecturers in the United States. Unlike most men. he continued to be a diligent student and improved in thought-power, linguistic attainments, and elo- quence almost to the day of his death. Two others now living were associated with Dr. Baldwin in the establishment of this Normal School. They are tin venerable W. P. Nason, now living In Kirksville. and the versatile and brilliant James M. Greenwood, for the past twenty-six years the popu- lar and successful Superintendent of the Kansas City Public Schools. Hon. S. M. Pickier, now a member of the Board of Regents, was one of the early graduates of the institution and for several years a member of the Faculty. After the resig- nation of Dr. Baldwin. Professor Nason was for one year the acting President. Perhaps the most brilliant among those associated with the institu- tion was its second President. Dr. J. I . Blanton, now of San Francisco. California. One of the most genial, affable, and popular men associated with the institution was its second President, Dr. W. 1). Dobson, soon to graduate from the American School of Osteopathy, in which he has been a stu- dent for two years. The most active and aggressive advocat� of appealing to the many-sidedness of human nature through art. literature, manual training, and all the various other educational agencies is the tlfth Presi- dent. lion. John R. Kirk, a man of words and of actions, who. to use a characteristic phrase of his own. “gets things done.” A great majority of the graduates of this insti- tution become teachers and continue in the pro- fession. Some, however, have left teaching und 1m - come distinguished in other professions. By way of illustration, we may mention one or two from each class: KM .1. U. BaUN’AUD. Class of 72: V. X.

As the President oft on the railroad must go. We upon him this carbolic acid bestow. If he '11 use it discreetly, as he's sure to do, He will vanquish all germs—fellow-passengers too. From bitter experience, most sad to relate. We know how hard 'tis to get here at eight. With this problem Miss Parrish no longer need strive. This alarm clock will waken her promptly at five. I Kind fortune has favored Mr. Ylolette so. That little remains for the class to bestow. There’s but one secret grief he has to endure. But this will be banished by Hall’s Hair Renewer. You never would guess it. but when staid Mr. Vaughn Goes to see ’em play foot-ball, his dignity 's gone: He yells till he 's hoarse: you should just hear his tone. So we send him a foot-ball to have for his own. Man insists, though it may be from truth he departs. That •'taffy” is dear to most feminine hearts: In the hope that in this case the saying is true. We present a whole boxful, Miss Owen, to you. Though “Ren Pitts is often presented with ink. From the looks of their note-books the students all think He has surely exhausted his once plenteous store. So. with heartiest greeting, they send him some more. Mr. Settle’s was harder, and finally resulted In the wife of his bosom being privately consulted. “Oh. give him a plaything.” she said with a groan: “Then maybe he ’ll leave our poor baby alone. To our teacher in Physics this package is given; It contains the Ix-st soothing syrup known under heaven. Now if he '11 use it as he thinks is best, 'Twill bring him some nights of calm, unbroken rest. We give to Miss Hall this tloral design. Of fragrance most rare and of beauty divine. We know she will cherish it: we did not forget To purchase her favorite flower, the Violette. Mr. Winchester's students have been heard to say That the apple’s” his theme, both by night and by day. If he likes it in theory, then we 'll suppose He likes the “real thing he will find here enclosed. Mr. Harvey has told us with grief in his tone That nothing is pleasant when one is alone. He is troubled with bashfulness, every one knows. So we send him an essay on How to Pro| ose.” 'Twas a Senior voting man who was sent to the store. And after examining presents galore. Declared for Miss Bryan he saw nothing meet. Save a box full of candy with “sweets to the Sweet.” Though he tries to be humble, 'tis easy to see Mr. Daugherty is proud of his big “Ph.D.” On these cards see his name, magic letters and all; May they gladden his heart when he 's out for a call. To Miss Prewitt this volume of poetry goes. Why—the reason is plain, because everyone knows She 's so sweet and so modest, free from envy and strife. That just one perfect poem has been her whole life. Miss Tinkham is given one perfect pink rose: The reason, we think, isn't hard to suppose: Though we’re saying this neither for power nor pelf. She 's really quite like a rosebud herself. February 2 Same old grind at Chapel. February f , 1778—American Independence ac- knowledged by France. February 8- J. M.

In naming their typewritter after the great Western metropolis t 1m• manufacturers of The Chicago” have added emphasis to this interpreta- tion of the word by solving a question which has long puzzled the business world—viz... How can a strictly first-class typewriter be manufactured and marketed a: a reasonable price? The solution of the question was iu their economical and improved methods cf manufacturing and selling. The Chicago has as much right to he sold for slOO as any typewriter on the market, for it is as good as the best. It is a rare combination of maximum quality with minimum price. Ever since The Chicago made iis first bow to the public, the manufacturers have been sorely taxed to keep the supply equal to the demand, which speaks volumes for the sterling quality of the machine. The Chicago is sold for $35. and is manufact- ured l v the Chicago Writing Machine Company, 203 Wendell Street. Chicago. 111.. I'. S. A. FIRST MKTHODIST KI'ISCOIWI.
