It certainly does not come up to ours. We have done our best to win your ap- proval, and whether you award us a crown of laurel or a crown of thorns, we only plead, dear reader, that you render no decision until vou have considered the conditions under which we have labored. When in the long years to come some member of the class of 1912, with tottering step and trembling hand, shall take this book from its shelf, brush the dust away and reverently and tearfully peruse these pages, allowing his thoughts to dwell upon the happy days of long ago, then will the true value of our book be appreciated. We wish to acknowledge here the generous assistance of Dr. W. Owen Sypherd and members of the faculty who have given us invaluable sugges- tions. With this brief introduction, fellow-students, faculty, alumni and friends, we present you the book.

Woll, M. A., Ph. D. Heidgetverg 4, ONDAY evening before commencement day of 1909 the college community was shocked to hear that Doctor Wolf had sudden- ly been stricken with illness. There was no suggestion in his rugged physique that he would not attain the full measure of vears. He had been so long associated with the college and had impressed himself so strongly upon it that he had become a part of its very life. On Tuesday morning after commencement day he died in the 59th year of his life. He was born in Edwardsville, Illinois, September 17, 1850, and attended the achools of his native town. In due time he en- tered Washington University, St. Louis, and was graduated with the degree of B. 5. in 1868, At this early age there were already signs of the distine- tion that was to be his, and he at once went abroad to enter Heidelberg Uni- versity. After pursuing his studies there under the great masters of sci- ence, before he reached his 21st year he was graduated with the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy. Bunsen, the great chemist, him- self planned a trip through Switzerland which the voung student followed in every detail. He cherished the memory of this great man with all the strength of his big, warm heart. He never tired of telling about the charm of Kirchoit's lectures or of the sterling worth of Helmholz's brilliant work., He spent a semester in the University of Wiesbaden and one at Leipsic where he pursued his studies under the direction of the great Frisenios and the learned Kolbe. A story illustrative of the regard Bunsen had for the voung American is that when Sir Lionel Playfair came to ask Bunsen to name an assistant for him in his laboratory in Edinburgh, Dr. Wolf was named. He declined the flattering offer, however, as his affection for his native country was too strong, He was chosen Professor of Chemistry in Delaware College in the sum- mer of 1871 and assumed the duties of the position early in the fall. The office of State Chemist went with the professorship and he discharged the duties of the dual position with characteristic energy and great success. When the handsome young stranger entered the classroom at Delaware Col- lege he found many students older than himself, but it did not take them long to discover that their teacher was deserving of their respect. His simplie- ity and directness found ready entrance to the mind of the learner; his forcefulness and mastery compelled attention; his energy and enthusiasm were contagious; his industry and persistence were encouraging, He was a teacher who knew his subject and by sheer strength of his knowledge 8 D000 01030 made it live for his hearers. He was great as a man as well as great as a scientist. Dr. Edgar F. Smith, Provost of the University of Pennsylvania, himself a great chemist, says that Dr. Wolf was one of the few men of his acquaintance who impressed him with the profundity of his scientific at- tainments, and that often after some meeting of chemists at which Dr. Wolf modestly sat silent, he has heard some of the most illuminating re- views of the entire discussion from the lips of this unassuming teacher. He had collected one of the best chemical libraries in this country, but he was more than a mere book-buyer, and hizs mind was stored with the richness of his treasures. As a man he was as simple as a child. Beneath his apparent roughness of manner and brusqueness of speech there was a gentleness of soul that was womanly in its tenderness. His was an affection- ate nature which held his friends bound as with hooks of steel. It took some time for the Sophomore to get used to hiz quick manner of speech, but when he was understood he was recognized as the students best friend, and ever after was the most popular man in the college. But it is Dr. Wolf, the man, integer vitae, scelerisque purus that was the great force in Dela- ware College. Honest in purpose he dared to follow wherever sound reason led him and would not compromise with any easy going beliefs. Firm as a rock in what he believed to be right he furnished a potent example to steady the minds of his pupils. His was a master mind in the subjects which he taught, but his life and manners, his character and personality made a more lasting impression upon all who came in eontact with his noble life than any formal lesson or stated exercizse. He has left to Delaware College, which he served all his life, the heritage of high ambitions as a good man and a great teacher. 7 ; 10010 44 LIBRARY THE NEW COLLEGE D 00 O WIOQOIOJ : ? 5 : : 100 0 010010C Aelatware College A Brief Historical Sketch, and Some Information as to the Aim and Scope of the Institution ELAWARE COLLEGE iz situated at Newark, a quiet, well-ordered, and hospitable village of two thousand inhabitants in the northwestern part of the State. Newark is connected with Philadel- phia, Wilmington, Baltimore and Washington by the Pennsylvania, and Baltimore and Ohio Rail- roads, and there are few points in Delaware or in the Peninsular counties of Maryland distant from the village more than a few hours by rail. The region about Newark is one of the most healthful and beautiful on the Atlantic slope. The site of the College, near the center of the town, iz one of unusual charm. The village has a supply of ex- cellent water and is lighted by electricity. Delaware College was chartered in 1833 by Act of the Delaware Legislature, and the doors of the College were first opened to students in May of the following vear. The College had been doing for a quarter of a eentury an important work, not only for Delaware, but as well for neighboring parts of Pennsylvania and Maryland, when, by a succession of misfortunes, she was forced in the spring of 1859 to close her doors. Eleven vears later the College was resuscitated, having meanwhile heen designated by Act of the Delaware Legislature as beneficiary under the Act of Congress apportioning to each of the several States large areas of public lands to form the basiz of endowments for Colleges especially devoted to the teaching of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts, and Military Tactics. This Act of Congress, commonly known as the Morrill Bill, from its origi- nator, Senator Morrill of Vermont, declares that the Colleges made bene- ficlary under its provisions shall have as their leading object, withoutl ex- cluding other scientific and classical studies and including Military Tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life. In consideration of the designation and establishment of Delaware College as the institution to be provided by the State of Delaware in ac- cordance with the provisions of the Act of Congress in question, a joint and equal interest in the grounds, buildings, libraries and vested funds of the College proper, was conveyed to the State of Delaware, and equal rep- resentation upon the Board of Trustees was given the State, DIO00 010-01!Q INTERIOR OF THE GYMMASIUM WITH SEATS ARRANGED FOR A RECEPTION TO THE DELAWARE LEGISLATURE rd 0 00 00 D000 0 m 100 0 010010 DELAWARE COLLEGE Continned The Board of Trustees consists of fifteen members, representing the original Board, and fifteen members on the part of the State appointed by the Governor, five from each of the three counties. The Governor of the State and the President of the College are members ex officio. In 1888, by Act of the Delaware Legislature, the Delaware College Ag- ricultural Experiment Station was established as a department of the Col- lege under the provisions of an Act of Congress approved March 2, 1887, commonly known as the Hatch Bill, appropriating $15,000 annually for the purpose of acquiring and diffusing among the people of the United States useful and practical information on the subjects connected with ag- riculture and to promote scientific investigation and experiment respecting the principles and applications of Agricultural Science under direction of the College or Colleges established in each of the States and Territories in accordance with the provisions of the Morrill Bill. The Adams Bill, approved March 16, 1906, appropriating $5,000 for the first year and increasing this amount by $2,000 a year until it eventually reaches $15,000, makes possible the still further expansion of the work of the Experiment Station along lines set down by the law for the develop- ment of Agricultural Science by means of research and experiment. Delaware College is beneficiary also under a further Act of Congress, known as the New Morrill Bill, approved August 20, 1890, which appro- priated for the year then current $15,000 to each State for the Land Grant Colleges and provided for the increase of the appropriation by $1,000 each vear until it should reach $25,000 a year. Delaware College receives an- nually four-fifths of this appropriation, one-fifth, in accordance with the provisions of the bill, being applied to the maintenance and support of the College at Dover for the education of colored students. This Act was supplemented by the passage of the Nelson Bill, ap- proved March 4, 1907, providing for an appropriation of $5,000 for the vear ending June 30, 1908, and a subsequent annual increase in appropria- tion of $5,000 until it reaches $25,000, thus making an annual income of $50,000 from the national government. Delaware College will receive four- fifths of this amount annually, the rest going to the college for the colored race at Dover. The appropriations provided for in this Act are to be applied to in- struction in Agrieulture, the Mechanic Arts, the English Language and the various branches of mathematieal, physical, natural and economie sciences with special reference to their applications in the industries of life, and to the facilities for such instruction. Stimulated by the increased income provided by these recent Acts, Delaware College has, within the past few years, enlarged her corps of in- structors and greatly inereased her equipment of apparatus and appliances, s0 that she is now vastly better enabled than ever before in her whole his- tory to perform her appointed duty. 0 O0010t 0001C 0 00 00 C D 0-0 00 O 0 00 0 -4-0049 f . . AN AUDIENCE OF DELAWARE FARMERS ATTENDING AN AGRICULTURAL LECTURE AT THE COLLEGE D000 0100!C DELAWARE COLLEGE Continued The buildings of the College, situated in an ample and beautiful campus, shaded by trees as old as the institution itself, consist of the re- cently improved Dormitory, a large brick structure originally the sole Col- lege huilding for all purposes and still occupied, not only for lodgings, but also for laboratories and recitation rooms, the newly fitted library af- fording commodious reading rooms and ample storage for books ; Recitation Hall, a handsome brick building erected by the State in 1891; the wood- working and machine shop, where are housed machinery and apparatus for a thorough practical eourse of instruction in the mechanic arts; the Gym- nasium, which is admirably fitted for its purpose. The Experiment Station, which contains the offices, libraries and lab- oratories of the station workers, occupies a building on the College grounds. The station has also a greenhouse, with laboratory adjoining, and several buildings used for storage and other purposes in the conduct of the various lines of experimental work. The Legislature of 1903 appropriated $15,000, payable in two equal annual installments, by the expenditure of which the workshops have been greatly enlarged and are now entirely adequate for the present needs of the College. The first floor is equipped with wood-working and iron-working machinery and on the gecond floor are found large drafting-rooms and lab- aratories. The sum of $25,000 appropriated by the Delaware Legislature in the yvear 1901 for rebuilding and repairs at Delaware College, was expended mainly in repairing and enlarging the dormitory. The building was re- plastered throughout, and the floors were made secure by the introduetion of new timbers. The sleeping rooms were made comfortable and attrac- tive, and the Oratory was remodeled and redecorated so that it is now one of the handsomest auditoriums in the State. New fronts, corresponding in style with the Dorie portieo of the main entrance, were placed on the wings, and at right angles to the wings and parallel to the main structure were built three-story extensions. These improvements have increased the num- ber of sleeping rooms, and furnished handsome apartments for recitation rooms and laboratories, The appropriation of $15,000 which was made by the Legislature of Delaware in 1905 has been applied to the building of a Drill Hall and Gym- nasium. In the basement of the building will be found shower baths and lockers for the use of the students. The main floor serves as a drill hall and gymunasium, At the session of the Legislature of Delaware of 1907 a bill was passed authorizing a commission to apply twenty thousand dollars to the pur- chase and equipment of a farm to be managed and condueted by the Board of Trustees of Delaware College at Newark, for experimental purposes in providing efficient instruction in Agriculture and in conducting investiga- tions and original research in connection with the Experiment Station estab- 10010 01001C 000100 IC 0 100 00 0 Jx F D0 0010 000 00!

It is most attractively situatsd and furnishes execellent means for practical instruction in Agriculture. At the last session an appropriation of $10,000 payvable in two installments of $5,000 each, was made for the care of the College property and for the sup- port of its work along sueh lines as are otherwise unprovided for. $10,000 was also appropriated for buildings on the College farm. The College buildings are heated by steam and lighted by electricity and are supplied with water by the town water works. A considerable part of the rear eampus is occupied as an athletic field and affords exeellent facilities for out-door sports and games. Tuition is free to all students from the State of Delaware, so that the College constitutes a part of our system of free public instruction. She places within reach of the young men of the State a thorough collegiate training with no other cost than that of living and the provision of neces- sary books and a few inconsiderable fees to cover expenses incurred by the institution. Her work is laid out upon broad lines, and the culture of liberal learning and the practical usefulness of the applied sciences are equally em- phasized in her scheme of education. While, in pursuance of the special aims of her organization, stress is laid upon those departments which build up good citizenship and useful manhood, the place so wisely provided in the foundation of the Land Grant Colleges is given to the refining graces and amenities of the older learning. RECITATION HALL CHARLES BROWN LORE LATE FRESIDENT OF THE SG0ARD OF TRUSTEES OF CELAWAME COLLESE From The Star, Wilmington, Del The late Chief Justice Lore had so long been a familiar figure in the public life of this State that one ean hardly realize that he is gone. In the nature of things his activities had abated somewhat of recent years, but the moral influence he exerted in the community has not abated in any sense. Indeed his death has strengthened that influence by focusing public atten- tion more intently upon the kind of man he was and the sort of life he lead. Evervone has something good to say of the dead, but here is a case where the epitaph and the truth are in harmony. Judge Lore's most striking quality was his democracy. He was a man of the people, by the people, and for the people. But he was no demagogue, seeking popular favor by appealing te popular prejudice. He could and did resist public sentiment when he thought public sentiment was wrong, but fortunately he did not often need to oppose the popular will. He had an abiding faith in the good sense and integrity of the average man, and all the acts of his life, and especially of his public life, were the fruits of that faith. Mr. Lore was honored by the State of Delaware in many ways, but he gave to it in return full measure of honor in faithful and valuable service. The places he occupied materially in life will be filled by others, but the places he occupied in the hearts of the people will remain vacant. t 1 H ?. IO0I0 0I0x0 owl o .

In 1898 he entered the chemieal course in the Kentucky State College and was gradu- ated in 1910 with the degree of B. 3. In 1901 he was ap- pointed Fellow and Instructor in Chemistry under Dr. J. H. Kartle at the above institution, at the same time pursuing studies for the degree of M. 3., which he received in June, 1902. In the fall of 1902 he en- tered Johns Hopkins University as a graduate student and received the university scholarship in 1903, graduating in 1904 with the degree of Ph. D. He was appointed Carnegie Rezearch Assistant in Physieal Chemistry for the vear 1904-05. In 1905 he accepted a position az Research Chemist for the General Electric Company in their research laboratory, Schenectady, N. Y. From 1906-08 he was with the duPont Powder Company, Gibbstown, N. J. The following vear he entered the North Dakota Experimental Sta- tion, Fargo, N. D. In April, 1909, Dr. Bassett came to Delaware College, doing co-operative work with the Department of Plant Pathology on Fruit Dizeaszes. 54 010010 -0Q D00 00 O i 0 100100 1Q 0 00 00 O JOHMN VAUGHMN EMNMNIS, CLASS OF 1911 Mr. Ennis was born near Dover, Delaware, on September 7, 1883, His early bovhood days were spent on his father's farm, amid characteristic scenes of rural beauty and industrya simple form of early nature school from which Delaware has ever drawn heavily for her successful men. Thus he grew to be a strong, willing lad, ambitious to gain moral strength and knowledge. His mode of living assured the realization of the first ambi- tion; and time offered to satisfy the second. He was soon enrolled as a student in the Dover Academy, from which he was graduated with honors in 1907. In the fall of the same yvear Mr. Ennis entered Delaware College as a member of the Class of 1911, matriculating as a classical student. His in- structors soon recognized the diligent, honest, and straightforward manner in which their new pupil conducted himself and his work. Nor were his classmates long in discovering in him a good leader, upright, kindly, gen- erousa champion of truth and honor. At the beginning of the current collegiate vear he was elected Presi- dent of the Junior Class and Commissary of the Boarding Club. By his sad demise on May 26 a firm support was withdrawn from these two organiza- 0 0010; 01001C ions. The REVIEW has also lost a faithful associate editor-in-chief and former local editor. The Athenaean Literary Soeciety has been deprived of its most active member, and the college Y. M. C. A. has lost its newly elec- ted President. The Delta Kappa Chapter of the Sigma Nu Fraternity will miss a valued brother. Mr. Ennis was also actively interested in athletics and debating of Old Delaware. All will remember with what exemplary energy, courage and perseverance he entered into foot ball and track, fighting ever to preserve the athletic standards of our college. All will remember with what splendid and carefully prepared arguments he has upheld the work of our debating team. To fulfil all the foregoing duties in a ereditable manner and to attain distinetion in each through individual effort alone, is surely a thorough test of his ability. And it wag only necessary to be associated with Mr. Ennis a brief period to discover that honor and distinetion for Delaware was the goal toward which he was ever striving. Personal remuneration with him came last. The world is sorely in need of such a disinterested worker, and it is safe to predict that the future held a great work in store for him. Such endeavor as this, then, should outlive the most untimely ending, and all should feel the cleaner and stronger by the contaect of this full- blooded, Christian spirit, all too soon removed from our midst, by an All- Wize and Powerful Providence.Delaware College Review, ?10:6?0104 0100 . 0 0-0 00 D O0-0 000 GARRETT STOUT SMITH, CLASS OF 1912 We parted in June little thinking that one of our number would pass into the great beyond before our meeting again in September, but, alas, it happened so. Word was one day sent to us, his classmates, and though we were widely separated there was mutual grief for a common friend-our classmate, Garrett Smith. It was with sad hearts that six members of our elass bore to their final resting place the mortal remains of him whom we loved. We still remem- ber him as one of the most worthy members of the class of 1912, 1 O0 00 GORDON GLADSTONE HALEY. CLASS OF 1813 The name of Gordon G. Haley will long be remembered at Delaware College. He had spent only two yvears with us when the grim reaper death removed him from our midst, but two yvears were sufficient for him to win a place in the heart of every Delaware man. He was an athlete of whom we were proud. How earnestly he entered into athletics of every kind, winning honors and applause at every turn. It seems that still we can almost hear the resounding cheers of Haley! Haley ! Halev! as of yore, when he made some brilliant play on the gridiron, at basketball or on the diamond. But it was not this which made him so dear to us. It was Gordon, our fellow student and friend, the boy who was generous, kind and sympathetie, who had a place in our hearts, He faced the issues of life as manfully and as fearlessly as he faced an opponent on the gridiron. In his short period of existence surely and truly he fought a good fight and he came off a vietor. 1O0 0 0100!0Q 59 b o .

PosTLES, Historian O O-0.000-0 D 000 0100 fiistory of the Class of 1911 N September the twelfth, 1907, our illustrious class of 1911 had its birth. Perhaps the three things that especially distinguish a clazs are size, athletic ability, and last but not least, a well earned drag with the faculty. From our day of matriculation to the present we have held the record for size, being the largest class to enter in the history of the collegesixty-eight at firstand, although we have lost a great many members, we are still far in the lead. Our athletic ability speaks for itself. We are a class in which eight men made the varsity teams in our Freshman vear. To be sure we lost our first foothall game by a score of five to nothing in favor of the the Sophomores, but this was because we were a little light in weight. Al- though we did not win in points, the game was considered to be a great vie- tory for us. Our mental ability came forward quite rapidly. In a literary way we were distinguished by having two of our men make the college debating team and two more entering the W, C. T. U. oratorical contest. - After giving the Sophomores a good trounching on the morning of Sep- tember the twelfthand we made a fine job of it, for not one of them was on top at the end of the serapwe elected class officers. Usually this is a hard task for Freshmen to do, but we did fine work under the leadership of F. D. Wilson as president, J. G. Stewart as vice-president, and C. H. Coale as secretary and treasurer. Thinking it advisable to have some fun, we Freshmen put up our nu- merals late one night, greatly to the disgust of the Sophomores. On Friday evening, February the seventh, we Freshmen had our first blow-out. After attending the Garrick Theatre, which was heautifully decorated in our honor with 1911 pennants, we betook ourselves to the Clayton House. Here a bountiful repast was served. By far the most en- joyable part of the evening was the toasts which were given in the wee sma hours of the morning. During the second term we made a record for Freshmen in athleties. In the baseball series we defeated the Sophomores but were defeated by the Juniors. Then, too, we won second place in the track meet in June. We returned in September, 1908, a band of fifty-four jolly Sophomores and were joined by two new students. We all were filled with the Sopho- more spirit, that of instilling into the Freshmen their proper position around eollege, and we dealt it lavishly to all. We elected for class officers J. L. Marshall, president; J. 8. Hagner, vice-president ; and W. F. Knowles, secretary and treasurer. We made even a better showing in athletics this vear than before. As for trimming the Freshmen, I guess we cleaned them up to the tune of six 0010 000! ! ? 0100 10 0000 O fo nothing. Then we showed them how easy it was to make them paint out their numerals as soon as they put them up. One of the greatest achieve- ments of this year was to win the class championship in basketball, The Freshmen proved an easy mark, the score being twenty-eight to eleven, and the Seniors fell to the tune of twenty-one to fifteen. The game was fast throughout, perhaps a little too much so for our opponents, who were all in before the end. All this time we were holding up our good reputation with the faculty, and when examination time came Dr. Wolf passed sixty per eent. of the classa thing unheard of before. Then, too, we not only lived up to but went past the record in mathematics we made in our first vear, The remainder of the yvear was spent in mingled work and pleasure and it was with much joy that we welcomed commencement and the long summer vacation which followed. Back we came in September, a band of forty-three upper classmen. Perhaps our first step toward dignity was in preparing for the Prom. Our elass president, J. V. Ennis, showed wonderful foresight in appoint- ing committees to aszist him in attending to all the matters that are re- quired for a big dance. Without a doubt the biggest day in our class his- tory was Friday evening, February 4. 1910, the night of the Prom. Glow- ing with softened lights, and bedecked with intricate designs of the dear old blue and gold, the gymnasium appeared her very best. Never bafore had a class so combined existing conditions and wrought such a work of art, Just at the close of this happy vear a sadness fell upon us which cut L2 N . R down deep into our hearts. On May the twenty-sixth we lost our much es- X b . 0 . S0 0-0 0-0 O teemed and dearly beloved president, John Vaughn Ennis. After a linger- ing illness of typhoid fever he passed into the realms from which the weary traveller does not return. Nobleness of character, purity of mind, and up- rightness of action were the things that distinguished him as a man far above the average. The commencement dance, with all its splendor, marked the end of a vear of mingled joy and sadness. We came back in September a class of forty-one dignified Seniors. elected C. E. Taylor president for the year, R. H. Morrow, vice- pres:dent, and J. H. Eaton, treasurer. So far we have done two great things for the college, First, the man- agers and captains of the various teams have raised the athletic standing of the college and have put evervthing upon a businesslike basis. Second, . the engineers have re-established the old Engineering Society and now it is thriving as it never did before. Both of these things will remain, after we have left this institution, as a monument to our good work. Now the end of our happy college days is fast approaching. Soon we 100 O shall leave these places that we have learned to love and we shall never all 53 be back at the same time. Our greatest desire is that the class of 1911, when i the time comes for us to say farewell, shall leave behind deeds of which not o only we, but all true sons of Delaware, can well be proud. 3 HISTORIAN. 1O01000-01C BELL, Davis HANKINS fof v fike do b oo oend wp.tt Manager Baseball Team 1911, Class Hasehall Tenm 1908- 4-10, Sernh HBuaseball Team 1908-09, Captain 1810, Athennenn Literary Society, Engineering Society, Viee Pregident Boarding T, Waitership Committes, Y.

ELL, Well, Well, Delaware! Delaware! 1912 This slogan, which rang forth on the front campus on the morning of Sep- tember 10, 1908, was and still is symbolic of a great many things. In the first place, in connection with the class-rush for which it was devised, it stated that we were feeling very well and this statement we proved to the Sophomores to the tune of a 12 to 0 victory. It might also be advisable to state right here that we have been feeling very well ever since that memorable morning and give every promise of continuing to feel well un- til the day when we sally forth from the all important event and begin to ask ourselves, What next? In the second place the well, well, well stands for the gasps of the astonished Sophomores to whom we taught the difference between a blink and a wink, and for the ultimate gasps of the Faculty when we were given a chance to demonstrate the way in which we had collected our grey matter. It is true that some few of us were strongly urged by the Faculty to join the outside world's erowded thoroughfares, but this was not discouraging to any of us. Thoze who re- mained went at the work with a new vim and a do-or-die spirit, while the majority of those unfortunate few who were urged to depart henece were seen promenading the campus the next September wearing the green, it is true, but still ex-classmates and therefore all the more welcomed as college brothers. We had heard that there was a custom at Delaware which prohibited the SBophomores from interfering with the taking of the Freshmen's piet- D000 010-01!0 ure. It was with this custom that we began our erusade of a new order of things, and the revolutionizing of many old traditions which seemed to our august selves to be useless, as well as instituting many better and newer customs. We, the freshest class that ever entered college, discovered the Sophomores nicely posed beneath the gymnasium windows and forthwith decided to dump the nice elean mats upon their unfortunate heads. For this new custom we receive copious thanks expressed mainly by ice water baths in the famous old tub. We also heard that a Freshman class away back in 1904 had put out a startling poster advertising a public sale of the Sophomores. We decided that enstom should be brought to life again and the result was truly startling. Many were the varieties of animals sold by Happy Holliday, our big brawny auctioneer. Right in the front rank of our achievements was the following of an old customthe painting of numerals. We were very sly and modest in this venture, offering no innovations except that the numerals 1912 were painted at the top of the water tower instead of on the sidewalk where they would have offered a good thing for every- body to polish their shoe leather on. Cur officers and ring leaders were: Howard T. Ennis, President; William W. Larrimore, Viee President: George W. Bawin, Secretary; Douglas B, Ayerst, Treasurer; William A. Reynolds, Historian, and Stewart Randall Carswell, chief numeral painter and expounder on the subject of Brother Rob's Battalion. Graduoally the novelty began to wear off and we began to realize what college life really is. Every member of our class undertook some duty to help the college. Some, it is true, did not take part in athletics at all but they were the exceptions to the rule , and even they were in a way help- ing the college by trying to raise their own standing and consequently that of the old institution. We drifted along through our Freshman year with here and there an honor won for the class and at the end of the vear had a very good assortment. We had 'varsity men on all of the teams and the large majority of the players in most cases belonged to our class. We were the first Freshman class in the history of the college to have a member of its class win the tennis championship, which feat was accomplished by Bob Harvey, who incidentally up to present has broken two records in the broad jump and pole vault and has played on every class team we have had. We were the second class in the history of the college to win the annual field and track meet. We had several of the most prominent lights of literary and debating circles. We won the bazeball championship and in all ended a most successful Freshman year in athletics and in brain work, too, exeept for the fact that the Faculty failed to appreciate us in every case. Right along that line we were 0. K., athletically speaking, but studatively speak- ing our faculties were as nearly nill as it is possible for an already minus quantity to approach zerc. However, this estimate was not the opinion of the whole Faculty, some few of us having acquired a pretty good drag. In September, 1909, we returned full-fledgedexcuse me, Faculty most of us returned fullfledged Sophomores. Oh that Freshman class. Heaven help them, for we certainly tried to, but failed miserably. At the 0010 01000-0!C 010010 0 03C beginning of the yvear we elected Carl A. Taylor, President ; Robert B, Har- vey, Viee President; Robert C. Lewis, Secretary; Howard T. Ennis, His- torian, and Samuel N. Tammany, treasurer. These men served most effi- ciently and were accorded the hearty support of the elass. Our first big in- novation was the printing of large Freshmen posters. These posters were neat, nobby and needful for the Freshmen. Incidentally we were the first class in the history of the eollege to put out Freshman posters. Thea prac- tice was evidently well thought of as we can judge by the posters displayed the next year by the class of 1913. Then we turned our attention to the gridiron and sprung an innovation there by defeating the Freshmen 22 to 0, the biggest score ever made in a elass football game, And, while we are on athletics, we may as well enumerate our victories. The next one was the basketball championship which we won from the Juniors by 18 to 15 and by dint of much good and accurate shooting and wall-leaning. We then an- nexed the baseball championship by defeating the Freshmen 14 to 2, this being our second offense. The next well, well, well from our admirers was occasioned by our winning the inter-class field and track meet for the second time. And, then to cap it all, Harvey went and triumphantly marched away with the tennis championship, this being his second offense. In literary and social doings we were also far from being a slouch class. We had several prominent debaters and orators. Twenty-five per cent. of the class belonged to the literary societies and eight members of the Review Board were of our flock. They were as follows: Howard Ennis, Associate Editor; Samuel N, Tammany, exchange Editor; James . Lewis, Local Editor; George P. Millington, Assistant Loecal Editor: William A. Reynolds, Athletic Editor ; B. William Ward, Inter-collegiate Editor ; Robert C. Lewis, DeAlumnis Editor, and Richard R. Whittingham, Assistant Busi- ness Manager. Several members of our class managed to pull prizes out of the bag at commencement day exercises and most of them deserved even more than they received. We returned in September, 1910, as Juniors and upper classmen. In this new role our first step, or rather, innovation, was to abolish all pro- miscuous hazing by members of the college student body. This, a big step in the government of the under-class at Delaware was strongly urged by Prof. C. A. Short and Lieutenant Edgar S. Stayer. It has, thus far, proved of tremendous value; and, when we look ahead we can see no reason why it should not remain a good thing. The present Freshman class has profited bv it, and let them see to it that next year's class has an equal advantage. On the last day of September we selected the following officers: George Fancoast Millington, President; George Walker Sawin, Vice President; James Gilpin Lewis, Historian, and Samuel N. Tammany, secretary and treasurer., This was Sam's second yvear at juggling the class funds and as he didn't seem to be getting any richer we decided he should carry the money-bag again. Up to present writing we have acquired for ourselves a surplus amount of varsity football and baseball men and a good class team in basketball. In addition to this several new members have been ad- 0 O00i0i 01001C 0000010 D 100000 mitted to the literary societies and Y. M. C. A, from our class, and we bid fair to have another successful year like our Sophomore period of existence. In summing up our record we would like to lay less stress on our class spirit, which is so predominant, than on eur great college spirit and the loyvalty of the members of our class to our Alma Mater. We have striven, gince our advent in the Freshman class, to uphold Old Delaware's principles and customs and we are certainly safe from eriticism in sayving that we have generally succeeded.

I-- Y CLASS QF 1213 Officers of the Sophomore Class A. F. WALKER, President G. N. Grorr, Viee President E. G. BrowN, Seeretary-Treasurer W. A, Sawpon, Historian R fiistory of the Class nf 1913 T was with feelings of awe and curiosity that we met for the first time on the college campus on the morning of September 16, 1809. We prepared in the Oratory for the pole-rush, and, after scanning one another's faces for several minutes, went out for the rush, forgetting evervthing but our mad fight to reach the pole. The rush ended happily, however, since we won from the Sophomore class, Just after this the Sophomores posted notices around the college and town which emphasized the Ten Commandments for Freshmen. These we soon removed and replaced them with an advertisement of a Trained Animal Show which had for its spe- cial features several members of the class of 1912, Being now in a rational state of mind, we elected E. G. Brown presi- dent, to succeed R. D. Smith, who had been president pro tem. R. D. Smith was elected vice president, B. R. Foster, treasurer, and J. Abel, secretary. After making our debut into the social life of the college at the Y. M. C. A. reception, which was not only a pleasure, but also a benefit to us, we began to direct some of our time and thought to athleties. Our first ath- letic clash with the Sophomores was in football. After one day's practice we put up a green team against our rivals, who had seven 'varsity and four scrub men in their line-up. The game resulted in our defeat. In bas- ketball we again delaved practice and as a consequence were defeated by the Sophomores, who incidentally won the class basketball championship. We did have the satisfaction, though, of scoring more points in the second half than our opponents did. But our time was coming. It came at night in the form of a Freshmen-Sophomore Indoor Meet. This meet consisted of boxing and wrestling bouts, a shot put, and a tug-of-war. In the boxing and wrestling we completely outclassed the Sophomores, although they did better in the shot-put and tug-of-war. The meet ended in a decided victory for us and stilled for a time the incessant boastings of our rivals. We now needed some social life; so we secretly arranged for a trip to the Garrick Theatre, followed by a midnight supper at the Clayton House. With no interruptions from the Sophomores, we enjoyed the show, which was a poor one, and then retired to our banquet. After many toasts and speeches relative to the college and class weal, we concluded the even- ing by singing the Alma Mater. Our final encounter with the Sophomores ended unhappily. They de- feated us in baseball. But shortly after this we met the hardest proposition of our Freshman yearthe Finals. These were soon over, however, and left us free to enjoy Commencement Week with its track and field meet and 102 graduating exercises. With the end of these we completed our Freshman year. During the summer months we lost one of our best menbest not only in athletics, in which he excelled, but in the real sense of the word best. We can never forget Gordon Haley. On September 15, 1910, we again gathered in the Oratory. Only about fifteen of us showed up for the rush, and being outnumbered two to one we were easily defeated by the Freshmen. More of our men came in later, but several familiar faces were missing. At the suggestion and request of the Faculty we abstained from all hazing, and satisfied ourselves by sticking up some posters which reminded the Freshmen of their subjection to the Ten Commandments. For class officers this year we elected A. F, Walker, president; G. N. Groff, vice president ; and E. . Brown, secretary and treasurer. The greater part of our college career is still before us. We have much to learn and do for our Alma Mater. But a spirit of loyalty and pride has so infused itself into our hearts that we can never forget, nor cease to give our best for Dear Old Delaware.

W. LooMmis, President D. R. MCNEAL, Viee President J. W. MCCAFFERTY, Treasurer E. E. SHALLCROSS, Secretary D000 000!C o fhistory of the Class of 1414 I HEN the class of 1914 assembled at Delaware College on the first day of this, their Freshman vear, it was, no doubt, with fear and trembling. We had heard that the annual clash with the Sophomores was a terrible thing, and that we would barely escape with our lives. We did not know that it was usually the case that the Freshmen won or that the upper classmen would favor us. It is therefore no wonder that we were a little shaky. History generally repeats itself, and it did in this case. We tied fourteen Sophomores, hands and feet ; thev tied no Fresh- - men. The rush brought us together as a class and made us feel more home. i Hazing was very light in our first term, In fact, with the exception of B a few Freshmen hazing some Sophomores, which we are told is unprece- dented, and a little fracas in the dormitories, there was no hazing at all. The upper classmen have insisted upon the suppression of all hazing, which will, no doubt, benefit the college both internally and externally. Things ran along smoothly after this, or, as the historian would say, this was a period of preparation rather than creation. The preparation was for the terrible strain on our pocketbooks., The creationwell, it was the ereation of a somewhat unfavorable impression which a certain drug- - gist who runs a book store near the college and who also sometimes sells drugs, made upon our unsophisticated minds. In this period there was also created in us a feeling of awe toward the upper classmen. The ten com- mandments given us made us realize that the upper classmen made the laws H and the Sophomores were only supposed to enforce them. This was a de- cided revelation, because we found that the upper classmen were as much to blame for Freshmen troubles as the Sophomores. This feeling of awe did not last long, however, We found that the upper classmen were not such an oppressing set after all, and that though some of the command- ments compiled by them are not sensible they are at least tolerable. The Freshman cap, to which one of the commandments refers, is comfortable and very likely looks well or we would not be made to wear it. Some one H has said that it looks almost as cute as the Sophomore hat, even though it is not quite so large, By this time things had become settled, and we were well entered upon the routine of studies. A reception was given ug by the Y. M. C. A. where we were cordially welcomed by Prof. McVey. Refreshments were served, and Mr. McDaniel wishes to have it emphasized that he received two plates of ice cream. At a smoker given by the Athletic Association a short while after the Y. M. C. A. reception, Mr. Scott became entangled in the snares of a huge black cigar and incidentally threw up the job. The upper class- men, of course, laughed heartily at thiz; but never mind, Mr. Scott, we'll do the laughing some day. 0010! 0100.C : : ey b In the meantime we had been drilling twice a week and when we had got so that we could turn around when told to do so, or halt when told to do go, our rifles were given us. Trouble for us commenced then and it was some time before we had mastered the intricacies of the Manual of Arms and awaited the arrival of the uniforms. They arrived at last, and I do not believe that we ever had anything to fit as tight as they do. One of our number told the tailor that if he took a long breath his coat would rip. The tailor told him to go ahead and try at his the tailor's expense. The man did so but the coat has not ripped yvet. They feel pretty tight especially when drilling, but just think of the work those poor fellows in the signal corps have to do in them. Probably the most distinguished and best known man in the Freshman clasgs is Mr. Behen. Mr. Behen is from Dover. We hereby give Dover a vote of thanks for producing such a man as Mr. Behen, From the very be- ginning he has been prominent, The first day someone entered his room and gave it a cyclonic appearance; later someone regularly stole his des- gert at the dinner table; but within the last few weeks his name has been on everybody's tongue because of the somewhat blackened appearance of Mr. Downs' eye. Mr. Behen sometimes plays on the serub football team and always acquits himself with great honor. No doubt Mr, Behen will some day be Professor of German at Delaware College for now he seldom pro- nounces more than a dozen or two words wrong in one German lesson. Mr. Behen i3 a rare exeeption, however, and we all wish him suceess. Another distinguished member of the Freshman class is Mr., Veale. He is from-oh well, he's from somewhere. Most of Mr. Veale's time is spent in the gymnasium doing impossible feats which everybody else can do, or in pronouncing imprecations upon Doctor Sypherd. Mr. Veale also tales great interest in running and shooting and will try for both the track and rifle teams. The various other members of our class are more or less important. But those who deserve honorable mention besides the officers are Mr, Hamel and Mr. Connellee who are, respectively, captain and manager of the Fresh- man foothall team. The football team has been greatly strengthened by the Freshmen this vear, Aside from Mr., Behen we have six or seven men on the first and second teams. In baseball our class will give even a better showing, for several of our members have brilliant records as baseball players. Mr, Hoch will probably show up the best in this respect and will be able to cover the initial bag as well if not better than any previous first baseman. In both football and baseball we should be able to defeat the Sophomores which, in football at least, will be unusual. The Freshman class as a whole has thus far been successful. We have had no trouble with any of the faculty or student body, neither have we made a poor showing in our studies. In athletics we can boast of as good if not a better showing than any other class. We, therefore, look forward to success as a class not only in the remainder of our Freshman year but also in our whole college course. HisTORIAN.

HEISLER P. WAINER i?m The Story of The Blue Hew's Chicks A 7 when the war clouds were hiding the sun, pe2 when the American patriots were doing and dying, when women were thinking more about baking pies and mending stockings than they were about smoking or voting-in short, it was the time when the Man of Mt. Vernon was blazing the way for the American Republic, that Delawareans were given the name of Bfue Fen's chicks. Captain Caldwell, of Kent county, Delaware, was extremely fond of cock fighting and he always kept in his camp some chickens of the QBfue fPen stock. No chickens could fight so well as the QBfue fHen's chickens. Soon the men of Captain Caldwell's company were jestingly designated in the army as the Bfue fHen's chicks, and the name stayed with them throughout the war and has come down until today all Delawareans are known as the Bfue fHen's chicks.

N all the games in which Delaware College participated dur- ing the gridiron season of 1910, her opponents represented i colleges whose student bodies are at least twice the size of that attending the State college of the Diamond State. e Each season's work has for its object, not only the winning of the scheduled games for the present season, but also the development of new men who will be able to do their share i toward making the following season a success. Both of these factors must i be taken into consideration in reviewing the season of 1910, The team started with an object of reaping o revenge from their conquerors of the previous vear. It wanted to uphold the standard of former g Delaware teams and if possible set a record for teams of after years. T We had a poor start. Williamson Trade 8 School was our first opponent and they gave us somewhat of a jolt. The team used was an ex- periment, but it played a good game except for Q Delaware's old weak point of fumbling at decisive moments. The year before the Pennsylvanians a held us to a tie score because we fumbled on their Fomi three vard line. This vear a wearer of the Blue and Gold duplicated two yards nearer to the pre- . cious line. Twice more during the contest Dela- ware had a chance to score, but Williamson was always on the job at the eritical stages. The game ended in 0 to 0 score and was felt almost as keenly as a defeat by the State college ad- 2 herents. H The second game showed that the team had improved wonderfully in the week of hard practice and long signal drills that intervened between the L5 first and second games. Haverford College was our opponent, and the game COACH MeAVDY D00 0 0 00 O 135 was played on the Quakers grounds. For the past few years Haverford had beaten Delaware; so a tie score this year at least gave every student a cause to think our 1910 team was an improvement over the 1909 eleven. The Blue and Gold at times played ideal football and then the whole eleven would go to pieces and forget all the strategy they ever knew. Delaware gained five first downs more than her opponents and excelled in every de- partment of offensive work except their old faultholding the ball. Hamel had proven that he was a backfield man, and he strengthened the team materially by his appearance at left halfback. It was in this game that Captain Taylor seemed to have found his old form and he was the nu- cleus of football for the whole team throughout the thirty-six minutes of play. In the first quarter Murray, of Haverford, re- covered a fumble and ran fifty yards for the main liner's only score. In the second gquarter two for- ward passes and an end run by Taylor netted us five points. The last half was a battle royal, Delaware having a shade the better of the argument, not only in the rushing game, but also in the punting duel that was fought between Taylor and Levin. The contest concluded with a score of 5 to 5. The next Saturday we played Mt. 5t. Mary's College at Emmittshurg, Md. This game seemed to be the climax of our success on the gridiron. Dela- ware had things all their own way and accidentally dizscovered an excellent drop kicker in Bayne Ayerst. On two occasions he was called upon to put his toe to the pigskin, and each time he responded with three points for the Blue and Gold side of the score card. The day was a very hot one, and consequently the quarters were limited to eight minutes each. In the first quarter Crawf Kidd intercepted a forward pass and broke loose for a sixty yard run and touchdown. Engle, of Mt. St. Mary's, re- S iae peated Kidd's stunt in the second quarter. Ayerst Captain of 1990 Varsity had his inning in the third guarter. In the last quarter Flannery, of the Maryland eleven, was thrown for a safety. The game ended in a 14 to 6 score. A week later we met our Waterloo in a town in Pennsylvania called Swarthmore, in which is situated Swarthmore College. The Blue Hen's Chicks were outweighed, outplayed, and completely outclassed. Although Delaware lowered the 1909 score by nineteen points, we suffered materially from the contest in the injuries received by our warriors; and the score of 27 to 0 was smothering from every possible point of view. The Garnet seored in every quarter but the last, and in that period the Blue and Gold manifested some real spirit against the ambition of the Quakers, In this, the unluckiest game of the season, Captain Taylor received an injury to his knee that kept him out of the game for the rest of the season; Averst was layed up in bed with an injured back for a week, and Hamel later developed water-on-the-knee; Downes had two ribs broken. When the Muhlenberg game took place a week later, Groff was out with an injured back received in practice, and Stayton was suffering from an injury similar to Taylor's. As a result of thizs long list of injuries Delaware had a green team to pit against the strong eleven from Allen- town. Handy was new but played a surprizingly good game at fullback. The Muhlenberg eleven outweighed our team ten pounds to the man., The first quarter resulted in neither side making any decided gain, Muhlenberg having the advantage. A fumbled kick in the second guarter was recovered by the visitors and Bixler kicked an easy field goal. Twice more in the same period the cadets fumbled, and each time the visitors scored. The second half was a different tale. Delaware braced and the visitors did not gain a single first down. Twice we forced the ball to their ten yard line, and each time inexperience prevented our scoring. The game had two prominent characteristicsthe spirit shown by the cadets as a result of the smoker of the night before, and the come back spirit manifested by the team in the second half. The latter proved the never quit spirit of our athletic teams. Thia game proved to be the sad conclugion to our football schedule. A refuzal on the part of Western Maryland to have a Rules Committee Of- ficial caused the cancellation of that game; and Lebanon Valley cancelled because of the injured condition of so many of her players. In a measure it may have been for the best that our season was over with the Muhlen- berg game, because so many of our players were on the sick list. But we would all rather see Delaware play and loze than not play at all. Though we did not finish our schedule and our records will not in- sure us a very good standing in the football world, we feel that our sea- son has not been a total failure, for we have developed men who are going to make a grand success of next vear's season. We cannot see Crawf Kidd break up an end run or take a forward pass for a substantial gain again, but we can and will see Dick Taylor lead such men as Todd, Attix, Ayerst, Carswell, Millington, Ennis, Groff, Handy, Hamel, Huston, Cann, Loomis and others who have been developed this year, through a series of vietories next vear, which will not only repay Coach McAvoy for his faith- ful and untiring efforts, but will also cause every true Delaware man to take off his hat to the eleven and say, Well done, our good and faithful war- riors.

Coach MeAvoy did his best, but somehow or other the team eould not get together and play baseball as Bill taught them. The coach knows the game and can teach it well, but the players did not seem to be able to manifest the same ability in a contest as they did in practice. The answer to the question why has not been found, but the fact remains that such was the case, The team lost only four men by graduation. Probably Harp McGarvey was the man that was missed the most; but when Porter became ac- customed to McAvoy's methods he made a fairly rood substitute for the big Pennsylvanian., Ward replaced Joe Shipley in right field, while Sunny Edwards and Greenwood were succeeded by Bob Harvey and Dick Taylor. Captain Marshall retained his steady receiv- ing ability and piloted the team in a very capable manner. Edgar, Dunn, Porter, and Haley com- posed the infield and usually played a strong game in the field until one or more errors were made, when every one blew up. Ward, Cann, Knopf, and MARSHALL Captaln of 1910 ' Varsity Tavlor were steady outfielders and were directly responsible for the small scores obtained by most of our opponents. D 0010 000.C The team's great wealness was its batting. No one could be depended upon for a hit at eritical moments. Therein lies the secret of the team's poor showing., Dunn was the best man with the stick, and yet his hits only came in spells, Had the team developed a hitting ability and uszed it to- gether with the inside knowledge gained from Coeach McAvoy, the nine would have been a winner. When hits meant runs no hits were to be found. Jolls and Knopf bore the brunt of the pitehing and did well consider- ing their small amount of collegiate experience. This year our opponents should hear from them very foreibly. The seazson of 1910 opened with the first game of the annual southern trip in Wake Forest, N. C. The Blue and Gold nine had traveled continuously from Thursday at noon until their arrival on the field and were naturally pretty well worn out. As a CONsequUence wWe Were 2as- ily defeated by a T to 2 score. The team remained in town over night and the next day again tried conclusions with their victors of the day before. Apgain we were defeated, this time by a shutout. Three errors and six bunched hits proved to be enough to give the Southerners the con- test. The following Monday, March 28th, found our team in Williamsburg, Va., and when we defeated William and Mary Ceol- lege by a 2 to 1 score we seemed to have been in a fair way to have a successful trip. Then we went to Ashland, Va., and darkness put a stop to a tie game with Randolph-Macon. A whole night spent in traveling was enough to tire the fellows out and North Carolina A. and M. shut us out with but two hits. Jolls showed a flash of brilliancy by allowing but three hits, but the home team was never in dan- AR ger. The next day Delaware played the Captain of 1911 Varaity Elon nine which was composed of a num- ber of old professional stars. We were outelassed, but played a strong game considering the odds against us, and only allowed Elon to defeat us by seven runs. Arriving at Hampton-Sidney, Va., after another all-night ride on rail- road trains, Delaware lost to Hampton-Sidney College by a one-sided score. The Blue and Gold had upwards of twenty errors, and so ludicrous became the contest that many of the spectators left in disgust. On the next day we reaped revenge and won a spectacular contest by a 5 to 3 score. Knopf allowed but three hits and Marshall allowed no one to e e e WYIL ITIYBIASYE ALISHY A HALEY AT BAT steal a base. This game concluded the southern trip and incidentally the list of Delaware victories during the season. After the boys had been home about a week they went up to Lancaster, Pa., to play our old friends, Franklin and Marshall. We had the game einched up to the eighth inning when evervbody blew up and the Blue and White scored ten runs. Porter started the fun by missing an easy one and ten errors followed in rapid succession. In the next inning we zettled down again, but it was too late; F. and M. had won the game in one inning. On the next Wednesday Delaware repeated the Franklin and Marshall faree in the sixth inning of the Swarthmore game and the Quakers scalped us to the tune of 8 to 5. Up to this time we had not playved a game at home. The student body began to grow anxious to try to aid the nine by their rooting efforts. On the next Saturday, April 16th, we clashed with Mt. 8t. Joseph's on the old ath- letic field. The visitors were poor sportamen and the wrangling in the game cansed a severing of all athletic relations with the Baltimore institution. The game proved very uninteresting, Lenase's fielding and Joe Marshali's long hit being the only redeeming features. Ursinus and Maryland Agricultural College followed, and each added a defeat to the Delaware records after errors had cost us the game. Our last game was with Lafayette at Easton, Pa. In the firat inning with three Delaware men on bases and no one out, Fager gave ug a run by passing another man. The inability of the Blue and Gold players to hit the horse hide became evident and three men were put out without another crossing the plate. The game was interrupted in the sixth inning by a se- vere thunder storm, with Lafayette holding the big end of a 4 to 1 score. The team only played fourteen games out of a schedule of twenty-two. For different reasons the games scheduled with the University of Mary- land, Mt. 3t. Joseph's, Manhattan, 8t. John's, Susquehanna, Eastern Col- -o-mJ lege, Mt. 5t. Mary's, and Western Maryland were cancelled by one team or the other, The death of Prof. L. A. Freudenberger caused the cancellation of the last three games and the subsequent end of baseball for the season of 1910, With the indoor work already begun this vear and a bunch of Fresh- men candidates to fill the vacancies made by the graduation of Cann and Edgar and the death of Haley, the 1911 nine should prove a winner. The rest of last year's team are all back and have the advantage of one or two vears' training under Bill MeAvoy. He says there is no winning ball team without some hitters; so it's up to the boys to wield their sticks with less fear and more accuraey, and thus bring the Blue and Gold out on top.

The re- spective class games were played in the week following the holidays, so that Mac could get a line on the material at hand. Hagner had just returned to college after a two months' attack of typhoid fever. It was out of the question for Atlantic to get in the game; so Harvey was given a chance to fill the 1911 man's place. He succeeded. January Tth, the day of the first game, found the Delaware five in fine condition, and the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy contest proved to be a farce, On the following Wednesday the Blue and Gold won a man's size hard fought battle with Lovola by a margin of one point. We easily defeated Temple on the 14th and four days later met the University of Pennsylvania in the most ereditable game of the year. Penn expected us to be a Ycinch. By the time the whistle blew con- cluding the first half, the Red and Blue had changed their minds and could only boast of the advantage in a 11 to 6 score. In the second half the visitors started with a rush and finally defeated us by a majority of seventeen points, the same by which they conguered Yale. Pat handed us an easy one the next night in Moravian, the serub team having taken the place of the 'varsity before the end of the game. The team re- mained idle for the next two weeks, at the end of which time Maryland Agricultural College bowed to the tune of 23 to 11. Medico-Chi followed the Aggies example on the next Wed- nesday night. Up to this point Delaware had not played a single game on a foreign flaor. The first mateh of this character was with Manhattan College in UHE basketball season was a successful one. Work HOUSTOMN Captain of 1011 Varsity 145 New York City on Friday, February 10th. We were handed the wrong end of an unmercifully large score. From this point to the last game the team fell into a slump that cost us five successive games. Franklin and Marshall won from us their first game on a foreign floor in two yvears. Pennsylvania Military College cleaned us up the next day in Chester. On February 24th and 256th the quintet journeyed up the Western Maryland Railroad to Get- tvsburg and Emmittsburg respectively. A flash of the old form was mani- fested in each game, but in both instanees the flame refused to continue and both Pennsylvania College and Mt. St. Mary's took our scalp. Thus far the team's record for the season was precisely fair to mid- dlin . The twelve games had been divided between our opponents and our- selves. The season's suceess now depended on the outcome of the last pame, Albright College was the opposing team. From the second that Referee Griffin's voice sounded, Captain ready? Timers ready? Then, play, until the whistle blew at the end of the forty minutes of actual playving, it was evident that Delaware had regained her early form and that Albright would never have a look-in. Until McAvoy replaced four 'varsity men with scrub playvers we had the visitors beaten by a margin of sixteen points, but the Pennsylvanians erawled up on the second team and concluded the eon- test with a 32 to 25 score. If the mid-season slump eould have been avoided the team would have equalled the record of the 1908 quintet. The whirlwind finish was char- acteristic of the team's spasmodic playing, and vet indicative of its ability and ealibre. In Captain Houston we had a forward with a seoring record far above any previous Delaware playver, Give him the ball and it would go in the basket four-fifths of the time. His record of fifty-two points in one game will be hard to surpass. Tavlor was the best guard; ready to rough it with any one taking the initiative, and as sticky with the ball as molasses, Dick was a tower of strength in returning the ball to the forwards. Sawin was the surprise of the season. His work at center against the big fellows was almost ideal. He was as slippery as an eel and with the ball at all times. Harvey, Hamel, Patterason, Heizler, Lewizs and Marshall all played well- feeding to Houston being Delaware's strong point and objective.

From year to vear the coach would now and then develop a star in some single branch of the department, but the team has almost al- ways averaged as a medium between a suecess and a failure, It was in 1910 that the association started on a new basis of having dual track meets with other colleges and not placing s0 much importanee on the interclass matches. Aeccordingly, the Blue and Gold met the strong Muhlenberg College team on the latter's field in Allentown, Pa., on Saturday, May 7. There were fourteen events participated in by the representatives of the two institutions, the Pennsylvanians receiving nine firsts against Dela- ware's five, Muhlenberg won the meet with a total of seventy-two points.

Time, 5:04 1-5, The results of this meet were most gratifving after the defeat in the relay races that we received at Franklin Field on the Saturday previous. Delaware finished third in a race consisting of five contestants. The next and final meet on the schedule was the annual inter-class af- fair held on the 15th of June. In 1909 the meet was held on a new track that had been built almost in a night, and consequently the racing was not as good as it might have been had the ground had time to settle. The 1910 meet found the track at its best and the day an ideal one for track events. The contestants had profited by their five weeks' steady training since the Muhlenberg meet before which but nine days were given to them for preparation. R. B, Harvey, 12, proved to be the hero of the day when he broke two records, the broad jump and pole vault. Bob also succeeded in scoring the highest number of individual points, having thirteen to his credit. Ed- gar, '10, was second with ten. The class of 1912 literally ran away with a victory with a total of forty- seven points, 1911 getting thirty-three, and 1910 only seventeen. In this last meet'the Athletic Association added the discus throw and the 220 yard dash to the list of events. The 16 pound hammer was suhsti- tuted for the 12 pound weight. These three changes put Delaware on a footing which will enable her to cope in the future with all colleges of her class in track athleties.

The Class of 1912 has won the interelass field and track meet for two successive years. A repetition of their vietory this vear will mean their winning of the Alumni Challenge Cup, which is given to the elass winning the meet three yvears in succession. The class has not lost an athlete, and at present it looks as though the Alumni Association would have to donate a new cup after June, 1911. The 1911 'varsity squad will be strengthened by E. R. Manning's re- turn to college. At present the indications for a winning team are very gratifying, and as soon as the frost leaves the ground the spiked shoe boys will don their track suits and begin their strenuous seazon of train- ing. 150 OR the first time in any present undergraduate's college career, if not in the history of the college, the 'varsity tennis team took a small part in intercollegiate tennis last spring. F. I. Walls, 11; R. B. Harvey, 12, and J. R. Davis, '11, com- posed the team that was sent to Swarthmore, Pa., on Tuesday, May 24th, to battle with the Garnet racqueters. The Quakers proved to be too strong for our boys and we were beaten with only one set of doubles to our credit. Harvey lost his singles 6-4 and 7-5. Walls was beaten 7-5 and 6-3. Davis's scores were 6-0 and 6-1. In the doubles Harvey and Walls won one set, but lost the other two. Seores, 6-4, 3-6, and 6-4. In the college championship singles for the racquet prize, R. B. Harvey won in 1909, but in 1910 no tournament was held. With the start made by the tennis plavers last year in intercollegiate eourt athleties as a beginning, this vear's team is expected to have a regu- lar schedule with neighboring colleges and to promote tennis in general.

In football we lost our interclass game in our Freshman year, but easily defeated the present Sopho- more class. In basketball the college championship has been ours for two successive vears. We have never been defeated in a basebhall game and have alwavs won the track meets. The only tennis tournament in our history was also captured by a wearer of the 12, This record is one which any class might well be proud to possess, because it sums up to a total of approximately eleven victories out of thirteen interclass contests and eight college cham- pionships. Our first athletic contest was the Freshman-Sophomore football game in 1908. The coach would not allow the 'varsity men to participate in this contest. We had seven men on the first team and 1911 had but four. Asa consequence of our severe loss we were defeated by our opponents by the samall score of 6 to 0 after a stubborn game of two twenty minute halves. In our Sophomore year we reaped revenge on the Class of 1913 and lit- erally wiped the field up with them. In this game we used all of our foot- WY3 L IMYEISYH SSY12 ball strength and the blowing of the whistle found us at the long end of a 22 to 0 score. Our team worked like a machine throughout the game and at the same time manifested a brilliant conclusion to the gridiron career of the class team of 1912, We lost our first basketball contest to our football conguerors. Our team was organized on the spur of the moment and our lack of experience was very evident in the 28 to 11 score. Since that game our quintet has never lost another contest. In 1910 the Freshmen and Juniors lowered their colors to us in rapid succession, and we received the title of college champions as a result of the Juniors defeating the Seniors. Stimulated by the memory of last year's vietories we sallied forth again in January of this vear with the determination to renew our honors of 1910, We succeeded. The Seniors proved to be a tough proposition, but the game ended in a 17 to 12 score in our favor. The Freshmen defeated the Sophomores; so we had our first chance to battle with the Class of 1914. The game was an CLASS BASKETBALL TEAM 1912 CLASS TRACK SQUAD easy one from our standpoint ; consequently we are still hailed as the college basketball champions. The classes never participated in tennis to any extent, but in the singles tournament of our Freshman year Robert M. Harvey, '12, defeated McSor- ley. 09, and won the prize racquet. Baseball has always proven to be our strongest department. In the season of 1909 we not only defeated four high school nines, but also snatched the cup from the Class of 1909. The Sophomores proved to be easy ; and in the finals with Seniors we won by a margin of seven runs. Up to this time that Senior aggregation had had their numerals engraved on the Faculty cup twice, and a victory over us that yvear would have meant their permanent ownership of the prized vessel. We decided to retain the cup so that we might have the honor of taking it with us on our exit in June, 1912. In our Sophomore vear we defeated the Freshmen in a one-sided con- test and the Class of 1910 proved their superiority over the Junior class. Several reasons caused the final game to be postponed at different times until 1910 forfeited and again we were the diamond champions. Should we win this honor onee again in the next two years, the Faculty Cup will be added to our class trophy department. Our track teams have caused the lowering of three Delaware records and have won us the annual interclass meets in June on both occasions in which we have been able to participate. In 1909 we had a plurality of eigh- teen points, and the results of last year's meet are to be found on another page of this book. In summarizing this athletic history of the present Junior class we find that we own a record that is almost spotless; that we have scored more victories in our time than any other class ever did; and that we have fur- nished more 'varsity material in all departments than any other class that has been in the institution since we entered. Our class has lost a great many of its athletes, but we still feel that we are perfectly competent to hold our own in every branch of Delaware's athletics and probably give some of our opponents a little stronger reception than they anticipate.

At the time of his appointment Gen- eral Brown was a first lieutenant of the 11th U. 8. Infantry. In 1892 General Brown was succeeded by Captain E. C. Brooks, 6th Cavalry. His term lasted two vears, and for three vears after his term Major James H, Frier, 10th Infantry, was commandant of the eadets. In 1897 Major Walter Gordon, General Staff, was appointed to succeed Major Frier, In April, 1898 Major Gordon resigned his appointment to become Lieutenant-Colonel of the First Delaware Infantry in the Spanish- American war. He was succeeded by First Lieutenant Charles H. Ca- baniss, retired. Captain Avis, retired, who has sinece died, was appointed to succeed Lieutenant Cabaniss., For two years after the expiration of Cap- tain Avis appointment, Major Treadwell W. Moore, 1st Infantry, occupied the position of military instructor. The next commandant, Major Edward W. MeCaskey, 21st Infantry, is remembered by the students now at 0ld Delaware. He was detailed at the end of Major Moore's appointment and held the position until the present instruetor, First Lieutenant Edgar 8. Staver, 28d Infantry, was assigned. Lieutenant Staver's term expires at the end of the present collegiate vear, the fourth of his appointment. In 1889, when General Brown was detailed to the college, the cadet corps consisted of one company of infantry numbering thirty-six 36 men. At the present time, the corps consists of a band, battalion of four com- panies, and signal corps, numbering, all told, one hundred and fifty-six. Since the present commandant has been in charge the military de- partment has acquired an efficiency and standing never before attained. From the report of the War Department Inspector last year the college was ranked as second among class B colleges, as far as military efficiency is coneerned. A class B college is one in which military instruetion is merely a single feature and in which the students are not continually in uniform and under military discipline. Such an efficiency would not be possible, however, were it not for the interest displayed by the students in the various drills and exercises. A rifle club was organized in 1909 and teams entered in several matches. The medals worn at these matches are distributed numerously throughout the battalion, Every year, on Commencement Day, a competitive company drill iz held for the Roberts Medal. Last June Company B repeated its successes of former yvears and captured the trophy for the fifth successive vear. A new feature of military instruction has been introduced by the or- ganization of a signal corps this vear. Although military training is mere- ly a single feature of the course of instruction at 0ld Delaware, as great importance is attached to it as to any other feature. 166 E REVIEW BOARD Ehitorial Board O C.

ENNIg, 12 History of the Y. M. C. A. I : X. M. C. A, of our college was formed in December, 1598, .1 There had been attempts to organize an association as early as 1891, but none was permanent before 1898, In this year Dr. : Manning of the college faculty, who was especially interested in the moral welfare of the student body, aroused sufficient enthu- siasm in the students to organize a Y. M. C. A. The organization was effected just before a large convention in Baltimore for student associationa. The association sent four delegates to this convention Johnson, Morris, Grant, and McCabe. On their return the organization took on additional enthusiasm under the first president, Thomas G. Baxter, and started a Bible class. This class was under the leadership of George Edgar Folk, who has since become a prominent minister. Folk was ex- perienced in Bible teaching and any of the men of his class are glad to de- gcribe the lively times the first class in our institution provided. In the spring of 1899 two delegates were sent to the Northfield Student Conference. This practice has not since been neglected. In 1902 six dele- gates were sent, but of late years four seems to be the largest number the association ecan afford. It was under Mitchell, 03, that the highest pitch of enthusiasm for the work has been shown. Mitchell, one of the several good ministers who have attended our classes, is still well remembered by those who were at the college in his time, and his influence in the Y. M. C. A, is shown in its present existence. Under Papperman, 09, also the asso- ciation came into great favor with the student body. Papperman was not only a good man morally but also physically and mentally. His influence was great in whatever work he took up, so that many who would have been undecided about joining under a weaker leader were drawn into the or- ganization by his strong personality. Papperman, who is now attending Princeton Theological Seminary, promises to be another of our men whe develop into good ministers. For the last three years such men as Prouse, '09; J. V. Ennis, '11; H. 8. Garrison, '11, and H. T. Ennis, '12, have been at the head of the organization and have proved successful as leaders. J. V. Ennis, 11, who had been especially active in the work for three years, died just after being elected president. His brother, H. T. Ennis, was elec- ted to fill his place. The Y. M. C. A. has several lines of activity. The most important is the Bible class, but such things as speeches hy prominent men of the vicinity and members of our faculty, religious services on several Sunday after- noons of the year, the holding of services in the town churches, and the sending of delegates to the various conferences for students are very good work. The Bible class is our basis of organization. Ewveryone belonging to the association is expected to attend meetings. Different courses are offered and no one attends who does not get a great deal from the meetings. The air of the class is free. It is commonly known that men speak and express themselves in these classes who are never heard anvwhere else. And this iz not because they are by themselves, for we have in our classes the most influential men as well as the least influential, but because of the air of freedom which exists. Everyone enjoys it and those who cannot be per- suaded to join the association are to be pitied for missing it. On all sides we are urged to study the Bible not only for its spiritual meaning but for its literary, historical, and scientific worth. At no place will a man get more from the Bible than in a course in one of the Bible elasses with men who think and are willing to express their thoughts for debate. Without attending the classes one can scarcely appreciate the good that they do in this way. But in spiritual work also the classes are strong. Partly from the undenominational standing of the association no regular soul cam- paigns are held. However, the cases are numerous where men have been drawn into our classes and been checked in misdoings, and still more nu- merous where others have been held back from an otherwise sure road to ruin. Speakers, at times, are glad to come to the college and give us a few words of encouragement. It is the only way the association can come into touch with some of the students, We feel that even in this way we can at least do our best. Prof. Short has been most kind to us in the past and is always appreciated by the students in his talks., The religious services on Sunday afterncons and on the morning of the Sunday of Commencement Week are all much appreciated and well attended. To anyone, whether Christian, infidel, or indifferent, the conferences, and especially the Northfield Conference, cannot fail to be interesting. At Northfield the moral atmosphere of that encampment in the hills iz of an Utopian nature hardly to be realized as existing. The association aims to send as many of her members as possible to the Northfield Conference, knowing that no man can live there the two weeks that the conference is in session and come away anvthing but a true Christian. T F i F .- e B P 0, Egmpl HE Athenaean Literary Society was founded December 18, 1834, through a resolution of the faculty who rec- ommended that the students form literary societies. It is established beyond doubt that the above date is correet by the testimony of Dr, D, H, Agnew, Rev, Thomas D. Bell, James T. MeCullough, Judge William G. Whitely and Joseph Patton, wit- nesses whose names are among the founders of our society. The constitution of the Athenaean Literary Society was adopted Feb- ruary 4, 1835, and that of the Delta Phi, according to their catalogue of 1880, was adopted January 12, 1835, In this fact we freely grant them precedence but insist that it is no claim to priority of founding, a fact that is expressly contradicted in an address delivered before the Athenaean Lit- erary Society by the Rev. Thomas D. Bell in 1838, in which oceurs the fol- lowing : At the time it was thought best to confine our society to the col- legiate classes. The more promisiug students of the academic department being somewhat piqued, and perhaps justly so, at this arrangement, deter- mined to establish a society for themselves. Thus our worthy rivals founded their illustrious society. Our society was active until the suspension of the college in 1859. Dur- ing the interval caused by the suspension the society was kept alive by an association of the old members, and since the reopening of the college in 1867 has been in full operation with the exception of a short interval from March 23, 1901, to March 11, 1903, when by the individual efforts of Prof. C. A, Short the society came forth with renewed strength and vigor. By an act of the Legislature, dated February 11, 1881, the society was incorporated. This act of incorporation further strengthened the founda- tions of this our immortal society. Our society has ever looked wore to solid acquirements than to out- ward show, and is content to rest her claims to distinetion upon the results of her numerous victories over her sister society, the Delta Phi. She is proud to name among her members those who have been prominent in State and national affairs, distinguished at the bar, on the bench, renowned as physicians, and eminent as divines, In all thiz she has nothing to fear by comparison with any rival. A cordial welcome is extended to any of her members who may desire to visit her. . ' o Somip S 5ie LITERARY SOCIETY DELTA PHI HE Idlta Phi Liter ary Hl'c'il'l-'l.'

But these Illl.LMlI'll'n'd IIIFDHH;.EH continwed but a ities were short time, when the faculty decided to modify their restrictions. Then the s rp'gnl;urlll. Ill'pllll;'.'.t'-:! i became !rri'li.. !LiN'd bondies. In the beginning. as at the present day, the societies held regular weekly meetings, at some hour of the day appeinted by the faculty., But at present meetings are held in the e Thursday evening being nppointed by each society for its meetings. In former days the ings were short, allow no lengthy programs or disenssions, but now ample time and oppor- tunity are given for detailed disenssion and earnest work, By allowing this change of the meeting periods aml the inerease of time for sessions, the faculty evineed their attitude to wards the importance of a literary training. During it long and interesting earcer the Delta Phi Society has had on its rolls men who 1 national affairz, men who have atood hi.'ri'hl.wl in their have since been foremost in Stote niy'p-lzi'rq'- I;pg.l'1w1iun-.. men who have been an honor to the 4llt'il'lj'. to the l'llnt'gt'. and to the state, In our opinion itis the tendeney of the modern college to lay toe little stress upon pubslie speaking and literary work, being rather disposed toward technieal and engineering work than townrd ambition for essavs, orations and debates, But these last, be it remembered, must al- ways necessarily hold o significant place among affairs of men. We believe the gpeech; here we are tanght to think quickly and dill'p!.-'l': here we receive our flrst lessons in iefits of onr socielies are ilhii,-p-l'll!lllhl.l'. for here we learn the value of oratory; here is where selfishnesz of wll sorts is set asile and each brother woerks for his brother's sood; here we are tanght to love and be Joved, Nothing in the college should be held in greater importance, nothing should have a greater claim upon the student's heart than the literary societies, for nothing binds them more closely, nothing makes them zo much a unit, and no feature of college 1ife iz 2o gladly Tooked back upon.

KLEINSTUBER, ex '13 1 OO0 Ero 00 00010 History of the Agricultural Club I Monday evening, December 6, 1909, there met in the east wing of the dormitory a few of the agricultural students. The IR purpose of the meeting was to organize an Agricultural Club. disle? The purpose of thiz organization is to bring the agricultural students in closer touch with one another, to bring the pro- fessors of agriculture and the agricultural students in closer contact, and to unite practical with theoretical knowledge. At this meeting it was de- cided to name the organization The Agricultural Club of Delaware Col- lege. At the time of organization there were ten students in agriculture. Seven of these ten were four year students, two short course men and one post-graduate. All of these students were enrolled active members of the club. The following officers were elected for the remainder of the first se- mester: President, Eugene Shalleross; Viee President, Harry S. Garrison, '11; Seeretary, Arthur 8. Houchin, '13; Treasurer, Wm. L. Kirby, 11. Meetings were held every Monday evening in the east wing, and some topic of agricultural interest was discussed by the members. These topics were often supplemented by speeches by members of the faculty of agri- culture. On January 6, 1910, Mr. Soper addressed the club on Apple Growing in Delaware. On January 21, 1910, the following officers for the second semester were elected: President, H. 8. Garrison, '11; Vice President, W. L. Kirby, '11; Secretary, R. G. Hill, 13; Treasurer, A. Smith. On February 14, 1910, the members of the elub were much pleased with the interesting speech by Dr. Houchin on Milk Hygiene. March 7, 1910, Dr, Dawson delivered an interesting talk before the club on The Re- lation of Animal Experimentation to Agriculture. Plans were discussed early in April with the idea of holding a joint meeting with the local Grange. The Grange was invited to meet with the Agricultural Club, and the joint meeting was held in Recitation Hall on April 18th. At this meeting two phases of farming were discussed: Fruit Farming, by W. L. Kirby and M. R. M. Gwilliam, and Grain Farming, by A. 8. Houchin and R. G. Hill. After this discussion members of the Grange and the club gave a general discussion on both phases. During this half year meetings of the elub were held regularly every Monday evening. Sometimes one or more members of the agricultural faculty were present and gave talks. 1250 10C O 010-0!C 0 00 0-0C : : : ir. 0 00 DIO0I0010 On Monday, May 23rd, at the last meeting of the year, the club held its first annual banquet in the east wing. Mr. Shalleross, who had then left college, was present and gave a short talk on his experiences after leaving college, The first meeting of the present college yvear was held on September 26, 1910, At this meeting the present officers were elected, also a number of new members were admitted. The roll of the club iz now thirteen active members. A plan iz now on foot to send a team of three men to the Annual Stu- dents' Dairy Cattle Judging Contest at Chicage next yvear. The eandi- dates for this team are receiving a special course of instruction from Prof. Hayward and Dr. Houchin. Although the membership of the club may be rather small, it is not to be supposed that it is not doing any good. On the contrary it is doing a world of good to each individual member of the club, and to the agricul- tural department of the college. b l 3 I R i ST . mmi'h 1IE': KX QA i1 ey '1'n, - ik b i .h 5 ';'l' 183 00 0 '0 q H. 3.

VANDEGRIFT, Range Officer HE Delaware College Rifle Club was formed in the fall of 1909, It iz affiliated with the National Rifle Association, which is in- tended to promote rifle practice by arranging indoor and out- door matches between the different schools and colleges throughout the United States, This association also provides each vear an attractive bronze medal to be awarded to the member making the highest score at 200 and 500 yards in an annual competition. Medals are also given to those who qualify as marksmen both on the indoor and outdoor range. During the first vear the dues were fifty cents but later the college paid the club's dues to the National Association in order that all the stu- dents might enjoy the privileges of the club, and now a nominal fee of ten cents is charged to pay for targets and entry fees to matches. During the year 1909 the club obtained permission to use the outdoor range belonging to the State, situated a short distance from the eollege. Unfortunately this range had to be removed and there has been put little opportunity to practice since. Last summer the intercollegiate outdoor match was held on the range of the National Guard of the Distriet of Columbia near Washington. Only .00.0 0.0-01C five teams took part in the competition and eonsidering how few men Dela- ware had to select from in comparison with the other competitors and in view of the fact that the men had practically no previcous practice, they did good work in winning fourth place. The standing of the different teams was as follows: Massachusetts Agrieultural College George Washington University University of Pennsylvania Delaware College Georgetown University It is hoped that before next June we will be able to secure a suitable range and that Delaware will be able to send a winning team to compete in the intercollegiate match. 186 .

T HEADS S BETTER THAM SME When vou laugh, think of our three clowns and comic writers, Lewis, Millington, and Maier, and our artist, Knopf. When vou peruse the ath- letic sheet think of Reynolds. When' you read some of the other things think of Ayerst, Ward and Sawin. When vou admire the binding and gen- eral tone of The Book, ete., think of Tammany, Whittingham and Taylor. When you feel like swearing and chucking The Book into the waste basket well, just think of the editor; he can stand it. Well, our illustrious adviser with the Ph. D. trailer to him has advised us to get more humorous stuff for our book. He has advised us to get a little variety in ourhumorous stuff. He has suggested a sorting out of our material with the purpose of keeping thehumorous stuff. And finally he has come out with this pointa blank assertion If you don't get more humor- ous stuff your book will be a joke. Incongruous, Mr. Sypherd. Very bad, indeed. But we have solved the problem. In the advertising section the reader will find an ad. placed demurely on the front page of the section which sets forth the advantages of married life, especially with a nice ?, voung 7, handsome 7, learned college professor. Alongside of this no- tice Docpardon us, we meant to say this anonymous advertiserhas had placed six pictures depicting the different stages of the growth of that misplaced evebrow, And then, it is said, the book is needful of more hu- morous stuff. Strange; very, very strange. Why were such a thing pos- sible that is to say were there a chance of there being a lack of humorous stuff we should merely insert a full-page illustration of Tommie Sturgess as he appeared on the baseball field last June. Some say he can stop a pig in an alley, but others disagree. However, luckily for Tommie, we feel measurably safe in submitting our book to the public without making it too much of a joke. So Tommie is saved and there are others who are sliding by more easily than they deserve. Ah, there Lieut.!

Pa wanted me to stay home on the farm until eorn-cuttin was over, but I got a letter from the president of this place and he seemed so darned anxious for me to come up to town in time for the grand opening that I begged Pa off and he let me come. Gave me seven dollars to spend while I'm here, too. Seemed awful funny this mornin when I hit this big town. Why, the president of the college wasn't even at the station to meet me. I thought at first it was the wrong place; but, when 1 asked the hack driver if there wasn't some sort of a school in this city, he sort of smiled and told me to get in and he'd take me up. Charged me ten cents, though. Gosh, if I'd known that vou bet I'd a- walked., I'll get even with him, though. When the time comes around for those graduation exercises, I just won't send him an invitation. The first thing the president asked me was if 1 had any condition. 1 told him I felt pretty fit to trollop any gosh-hanged guy that got fresh with me. He said that wasn't what he meant and then asked me if I was pre- pared to stand an examination. Then I remembered what ma told me about not taking my shirt off till I was ready to have it washed cause it was powerful holey and might rip. So I explained to him all about it and he 'most died laughing. Seems sort of strange a fellow can't wear a shirt that's full of holes when it's clean. Anyhow, he got me o ffin a room all by myself and gave a bunch of questions to answer. They was all written down in a little old blue book that 1 hadn't ever seen before. Howsomever, I managed to apell a few good words-spellin allers was my lineand then I did a few sums and handed in my paper. The man in charge took it and stuck it in a pigeon-hole and told me I was free. So I went off to the big building where they keep the beds and picked myself out a nice big room. I noticed it was about the best looking of the bunch. It was choek full of pillers and flags with Delaware printed on em and the walls was all covered with pictures and photographs of good looking girls. Those pictures de- cided me 'cause ma had said I wanted to keep my eve peeled for a girl with lots of money. The bed looked pretty classy so I crawled down between the blankets and went to sleep, Sept. 11.Must a slept some last night. Anyhow it was light when 1 woke up. The room was full of strange guys. Everyone of them was laugh- in' fit to kill 'cept one and he was as mad as a hornet. He was talking about how there ought to be immunity from tramps, and I thought to myself if this was a place where tramps came to college T had better be pulling freight for home. The fellows looked pretty much dressed up, so I felt a little better. After a while a feller with a blue and yellow hat with a 1913 on it said some- thing about havin some fun with the greenie. Course I was in for all the fun 211 FE0 O00 O0 0.00 C I could get out of it, so 1 sang for them and knelt down and showed 'em I could keep quiet long enough to fish a penny out of a basin of water with my nose. Finally they seemed to get tired of my fun-makin', so I got up and walked out. And then you oughter heard the holler. That whole mob came after me on the jump and picked me up and started down the steps with me, 1 heard one of 'em say something about it won't hurt those old clothes. That made me mad; so I started and waded into 'em. Pa taught me something about fighting on the farm and I could kick 'most near as hard as Jinny, our old mule. However, when 1 got through one of the guys was a-spitting teeth, another had a black eye, and the whole mob wa'n't so danged spruced-up looking. Well, when they had enough I picked up my hat and walked upstairs again and picked myself out another room. This one wa'n't so fine lookin' but it had better pictures in it and I was powerful strong for the pictures. 1 didn't see any more of that mob until that night, when purty near a thous- and of 'em came up and asked me if I would please come down stairs and do an imitation of Washington crossing the Delaware for them in the bath tub. I wondered at the time how they ever found out I was going to be an actor- I know I never told a soul eept S8al Morrow, and I don't think she blabbed when I growed up. Waell, I can't exactly tell about that imitation, but when they got through I was powerful wet and they was a powerful torn-up look- ing mob. Sept. 153.Ain't wrote nothing for two days now, so I've got an awful lot to tell about. This mornin a erowd of 1914-ers came up to my room when me and the fellow who butted in with me yesterday were both there and asked me to please come on and get in the class fight. 1 hadn't heard nothing about any class fight so it took me a long time to make up my mind. Finally they persuaded and I went down stairs and got in it. First there was two long lines of fellers and each feller had a rope to tie a feller on the other side with. Then there was a tall, lean, voungish-lookin guy with a pistol in hiz hand who looked like he thought he was the whole cheese, Then there was a big fat feller with a jolly face and he looked like he thought the lean feller was the best joke out. Well, pretty soon the lean guy shot his pistol and the two lines of fellers went at each other. 1 stood and looked on for a minute and laughed at the guys chewing on the ropes in order to get looge. Then I thought I might as well tie up a few fellers myself. 5o I waded in and tied up about twelve of 'em before the lean guy shot the pistol to make us quit. Then such velping you never heard. One side says raw, raw, raw, and I wondered whether they meant the beefsteak we had for breakfast that morning. After a while the fellers got tired of shaking hands with me and 1 he- gan to wonder what it was all about. I asked a feller with a 1912 on his hat and he said it was about fifteen minutez. 2o I told him to po to grass and went back to my room and read a few of the books a red-headed fellow who keeps the college store sold me. He must a-stuck me awful bad ecause some of the books was algebras and geometries and Caesar books, and I D000 0 00! 0 0000 C 6 : 2 D! 001 0Z ?010:1'901 knew they didn't have no such advanced studies at this place. We had a little rumpus tonight. Nothing much happened-only a Freshman was taken down to the erick and chucked overboard. Gosh, I wonder if all these fellers are as green as he was. Why, he didn't even know how to swim and I've been swimming since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. They pulled him out with a rope. When my turn came I took off my shoes and jumped in and swam across the crick and waited until the erowd left. Then I came back and walked up to the sleeping building. I heard a lot today about hazin. Wonder when they are goin' to start it and what it is like. Sept. 16.Wonder if all these fellers are as dumb as some I met today. A big fellow came up to my room to see me and talked for about an hour trying to tell how I had better come out for the football team. T told him I - had never played football before, but would play every Saturday in the games if he wanted me to. He said I would have to come out every night and practice, and I told him I was too busy. After a while I promized to . D010 Y L come out the next afternoon 1 had some spare time and see if I could play any. After he left I asked one of the fellers who were in the room who he was, and they zaid he was the team coach. Now, ain't that simple? Who ever heard of a man being called a wagon. Besides, I couldn't find a trace of a horse. Sept. 17Went out for football this afternoon. The coach told me to play center and then showed me how to stoop over the ball and hand it back to the feller who stood just behind me. 1 did this all right, but the feller who took the ball each time didn't seem to be able to do anything with it, so after a while I waited until all the fellers on the other side was lined up. Then I picked up the ball and started running at em. Well, about ten or twelve of 'em grabbed me and I know that wa'n't fair, so I got sort of riled and began throwing 'em away from me. In about a minute I had got rid of 'em and I walked down the field and dropped the ball beneath the goal just like I'd seen the big feller on the other side do. Then I looked at the coach. He was most dying tryving not to laugh, and I couldn't see the joke, Finally, he came up to me and told me to get in there and play fullback on the varsity. Now I didn't know what either of them names meant, but af- ter awhile I got straightened out, and, after one of the fellers told me I was to take the ball down to the other end this time, I understood. Well, I did that for them about six or eight times and then I got tired. So I told the coach I was going to quit for the day and he said as how I had certainly done my share and to be sure to come out tomorrow night. Well, that morning we had gone to a few recitations and one of the professors was a feller with a moustache and a little bit of hair. The fellows called him Doc, and seemed to be scared to death of him, He told us a whole lot about not let- ting the Sophomores haze us too much and then told us to write a composi- tion for next week. He gaid the title would be Hazing at Delaware. Now ..-. I ain't seen any hazin and don't know who the Sophomores are, g0 I just put on my paper, Since being at college I ain't seen nothing of any Sophomores and don't know what you mean by hazing. Then he told us that we would 00 0 t + o O-0 DIO000C 00010 000.C have to read a lot of books, and 1 wrote on the bottom of my paper all about the books I had read that the red-headed feller had zold me, so 1 guess I've got a pretty good stand in. Sept. 20.Got that composition back today marked in blue pencil F, RW. 1 knew F stood for fine, but couldn't fisure out just what the RW. was for. I asked a feller with a 1913 on his hat and he said he guessed it stood for rotten writing in my case. But that didn't go with F for fine very well, g0 I didn't worry much. Sept. 24.Had chemistry today for the first time. A little short guy taught us. The fellers ealled him Tiff. I asked him why he always took his little blue book with him when he went home nights and he said sul- phurie acid. This certainly is a bug place. We had a lesson to the big, fat feller with the jolly face this morning, and he asked me how I would come to port from an order. 1 told him pa had said I shouldn't drink while I was at college unless some other feller paid for it, so I couldn't order. Found out his name this morning. The fellers eall him Lute. T always thought that was a musical inastrument, and I ean't see the connection cause I heard him whistling this morning and it certainly wa'n't music. He taught us all about a firing squad. Sept. 30.Found out some more about the firing squad this morning. It consists of the Lute and a feller named Grantham and some other nice man. I forgot his name but he has something to do with the one that told me sulphuric acid. They had me in the office and asked me to explain ahout some unexcused absence, I didn't know what they meant and I guess they thought I was pretty dumb. After awhile they explained. It was this wayI had an engagement with a feller the other mornin to play a game of pool and 1 wouldn't break it for a small thing like a recitation. 1 ex- plained it to the firing squad and when I got through I said, Waell, if that's all you chaps want I guess I'll be going. Then one of them said, Yes, vou'll be going on the next train. And sure enough they weren't fooling I thought for a while they wereand one of them even helped me pack up, Wonder if he wanted to swipe anvthing. 1 tell you T watched him. Funny part was that he was watching me just as close. Oct. 2Well, here I am at home. Got here last night. Pa says I've had my full college course now. Gosh, but I'm glad. I thought it was go- ing to take at least a year, but I am awful glad to get back on the farm. Pa says the pigs have been missing me. Well, T know what he meant, but I ain't letting on. And that reminds meI saved three dollars out o' my money and I ain't going to give it to pa till he asks for it, either. Oct. 3.Pa found my three dollars last night. Gosh, I oughter hid it better 'eause I was counting on taking Sal to the next fair with it. Well, 1 guess I'll have to split kindling now until I get enough. Then vou bet I'll hide it 0.

For o'er my spirit eame this thought: That my last earthly hour was near; I with this looming dread well fought, But even then T was all fear, Mot fear of speeial future pain, Nov that my desds in life were vain: To see my clpzsmaies as of ol Was my desire, 1 was a0 gray I fearad now them 1 not behold Before my time to pass nway. Bo fecling thus what should T do To soothe my mind and hedy, too? I then left musings, books amwd all That mmle me feel so sick at heart, To go and hark to nature's eall, And view whatever of her art Before my weary eyes should be; Just anything to eomfort me, Ae I beneath the azore sky, And through the shaded wood did go, Hearing the bimls sing merrily, Watching the lambs run to and fro, Filled with rapture was the breeze Blowing gently through the trees. 1 tirst watched biplanes in the air, Az calmly they were gliding on; Also were winged creatures there, Which now were seen and now were gone, Everything seemed guite in tune; Then, too, it wasz the heart of June, The shaide that pature to me lent Had done my sense o world of mood; Yet in my deeper thought 1 bent T alwell an things of graver mood. A graveyard then eame to my view, So it 1 thought to wander through. I passed within the stwlded wall, But stopped foll quickly near its side, Az on g towrh my eves did fall Well known to me a name T spied. I rubbed my eyes and pinched my hand To banish thoughts of drenming land. I thought while looking at this name Forgetting all my weary pain: Earth that nourished thee shall elaim Thy growth resolved to earth again Then going nearer to the stone I saw this written therenpon: For him whe lies beneath this sod, Our son and mate, this Elmer Todd, Or pgrief is great; we miss him, toog He left thie life in sixty-twao. His work was good throughout this life; Ah! how 1 miss himg T his wife, ' i ed t'illh HP II,lIJ.h LERRTATS TRERE o S A clazszmate in my days of vore Lay neath my feet; I thonght of him, An athlete who was full of vim, Then Trushing from my eves o tear, I vead from on the gravestone near: James Uilpin Lewis to me Fim . It was so hard to part with him Wha lies beneath this sodded spot: Although to mizs him it is por I saw Jim died in eighty-one, And wondered i he'd lived alone, But then T saw a line below Whieh 1 did read, bt remd more slow: The husband of four wives was he; He leaves the Touwrth amd chilidren three I passed to see if 1 might know Another in thiz long white row, The very wext one at Jim's right Caught my eve. This marble white Is raised that it might be A fitting mark of charity For him who wow in dust here lies Beneath, his sonl in paradise O0.0 0.0 0.C : D 000 I' read SStew Allmond's name thereon. My Stewart died in seventy-one, He was a husband troe and kiod; A better father none eould flmd. I thought of him in college days: My thoughts of him were none bui praise. The next in line, a flag it bore; I thought: Thiz man has been in war And looking where the sunlight shone I saw the name of David Sloan. This soldier, killed in battle grim, His bravery won great fame for him. I felt twas good: he was precise In all hiz college exercise, T leaned upon my bamboo cane And passed along the row againg Pasged to read from stone to stone These names T tell you one by one, For William Butz, who's neath this mound, We feel o senze of grief profouml. To mark his final place of rest This slab was raised at our request, Persevering has its pay; We know RBill's' getting his today. To our beloved now in repose, This marble shaft. it only shows That we by gleom are press'd down For our Arthur Ellis Brown, But for his leaving us alone No slab of granite can atone A benediet he'd been, T read; If he was papa, naught was said. A small line told me, T was glad Suecess in Clectric work he'd had, In passing on hy three or four. I had to stop amnd rend onee more: Diead in this life, bt net to me, My dear Bayme Ayerst will never be. He took from me a world of joy, But left to me a Dear, our boy. For me hiz place eannot be filled: I, his wife, with grief am killed. A longer mound T then drew near. Gerrge Paneonst Millington lies here. He died in nineteen sixty-nine; Hiz strength was goed, his health was fine. O this one thought his friends did seize: His death was eaused hy Dright's disease. 0 . 00 Another athlete then T found Was Iying neath the next green mound. To C. A, Taylor this T write; He has my grief, it is not lght, In life as in the gridiron game, Diek worked so havd he won his name. R. 1. Jacobs was the name O the next to which I ecame, His relatives have plueed this stone To show their love for him lives on. He went from us in sixty-five; His memories with us still survive. Do wile did Takey ever wed. Astray thought thus passed throngh my head, I felt a host of friends, though sighed, And all were widowed when he died, I wiped amother tearful eye And slowly passed his tombstone hy. And going past some eight or ten The name of William Reynolds then Appeared before me old with stain, Approaching it I look again And found he died in fifty-eight In war also he met his fate. A wife mourned him, but not a ehild: In life good fortune on him smiled. The next inseription canght my eye, Then smiles dispelled o long-leaved sigh. Robert Levis of Maryland Now lies beneath this heap of sand. To me he was a lifemate dear; To mine he was a father near. I vend the rest, this was my thought: YA dear mate to have been he ought, Algo a father near, T ken; He'd had three wives and ehildren ten, The grave of Samuel Knopf appeared, To me my Sammy was endeared. He left me many time before, But this desertion grieves me more. For his return to Palestine, It leaves us all for him o pine A mound 1 saw that was quite new; It had fresh flowers on if, too, T paesed to it and there 1 spied That another one had died.

The devil in hell, we are told was chained For one thousand vears, and there he remained; Though he didnt complain, nor yet did he groan, He determined to start a small hell of his own, Where he might torment all the poor Junior men Without being chained in a dark prison pen. He next asked the Lord if there were not on hand Anything not in use when He made this fair land. The Lord answered ves; He had plenty to give, Where He said to himself only Satan can live. In faet, He continued, it's really so bad That it might be used for a chemieal lab. Well, the devil then went for a peep at the truck, And said with a whistle that he sure was stuck. But in order to get the thing free from His lands, The Lord made a promise to dirty the hands Of all those poor Juniors who had for their lots The mixing and testing in chemieal pots. So the trade was then made, and the deed was there given; The Lord going back to His home high in Heaven. The devil then said he had all that was needed To make a great hell, and b'gosh he succeeded ! 100 !.C o D O010C He dirtied the windows; he stopped up the sink; And got into Tiffie's unknown book we think! He mixed up an ill-amelling nauvseous mess, And said with a sneer he'd call that H2 8, He mixed up the bottles all over the shelf, So that not even Tiffie or Bunsen himself Could decipher which one was just plain HCI From the bottles adjoining, which read Scraps of Hell. He took litmus paper and aprons and glass And piled it together in one reeking mass. He slopped up the floor and he dirtied the wall So that Freshmen and Sophs the scene might appal. He built an addition, and then placed therein A red-headed chemist to increase the din. AFTERTHOUGHT Oh the roaches run wild in this beautiful dell: Tis a hell of a place which we have for a hell, And when we are dead, then we have but one prayer That the Lord may release us from this hellish lair. The hours are long and the work there is stiff, And we look for no pity from cranky old Tiff. For it's work like a Turk till yvour eyes ache like hell, Without any let up till the four thirty bell. Oh the heat there in summer iz two hundred and ten Too hot for the devil and for us Junior men. But always we're working our poor weary bones To find our allotted half hundred unknowns. 10010 0100 'q The Scrub Farulty 0000 0C 0 00 - HAaZO Meetings held when Hazo Barton learns a good joke. O ulty, we'll frankly admit. But who can say one word against any one of them, from Hazo Barton, the grand old man of the faculty reserves, to good old Maria, the stenographer for the scrub faculty? And speaking of Hazo, have you heard the latest? We have understood from sundry good word, hm? sources that Professor Barton, whoe has long held the wand over the lower faeunlty, is about to have his authority wrested away by George James, the dark horse of the serub faculty. There has been for months a sly movement on foot whereby there is to be a meeting of all the members, to have Hazo de- throned and to form a triumvirate composed of Pop Lovett, Shorty Watson, and George James as the Julius Caesar of the alliance. Be that as it may, we are rather dubious about any such movement; for even if Hazo did post a sign with 1 ain't no path thereon, does that for one moment signify, gentle reader, that he is incapable of ruling the under faculty? Nay, nix and no, come the answers from every source. Now suppose, for instance, that the venerable Hazo were to loze the presideney ; and further guppose that he, in a fit of rage and shame might resign. We are at a loss 10-010' 010010x W ELL, here they arenot talked of as much as the 'varsity fae- 00100 O D1 00 D00 0.00IC to know how we could ever manage to pass through the buildings, for the piles of paper which in spite of the student body's careful? efforts to- wards cleanliness, would accumulate. Ah, perish the thuught! And let us always see good old Hazo's shirtsleeves fluttering in the breeze. Yes, our serub faculty is invaluable. Think of the condition of the buildings were it not for the eagle eve of Pop Lovett, who is always willing and anxious to put en a hinge, to fix a door, or window, or to put in a screen at a month's we almost wrote moment's notice. Professor Lovett occupies a chair in carpentry and baseball. And by all means, gentle reader, do not overlook Pop in the baseball bet, for when it comes to coaching a team, batting them out, chasing fouls, or umpiring, Professor Lovett has Hans Wagner looking about as useful as an airtight stove in an ice plant. And speaking of stoves reminds us of warm things, which in turn re- minds us of furnaces, which does, but should not remind us of George Washington Watson, colored, complexion dark, hair dark, eyes dark, and reputation for keeping the rooms in the dorms warm, also dark. But withal Shorty, as we lovingly term him, does his best, together with the varsity faculty, to make it warm for us. Ah, many is the time that one, walking up our beautiful linden shaded paths, may at first sight plead guilty to having them again; and at closer inspection still find that he is a co- worker with Carrie Nation. For the sight which greets one's eyes at al- most all times is Shorty behind a huge wheelbarrow, which wheelbarrow, at first glance, appears to be moving over the campus without guiding hands. The facts are simply these: That the wheelbarrow is unmercifully large, even for a big man, and that Shorty is, oh, most ungodly short, oven for a little man., Evervone, however, has his or her faults, and poor old Shorty's main one is that he is of very little consequence when snow is deep, owing to the fact that he is unable to wear hip boots. Consult puzzle editor. Then along with Shorty comes George James, who, when it comes to general inertia, has Biddy Laws or an Egyptian mummy looking as busy as a Methodist preacher at a chicken dinner. George is noted for two things : first, that he is the only man either in the 'varsity or scrub faculty who does not possess a nickname; and second, that he is the only member of either faculty who has not been inside all the rooms in the dorms. Per- haps this latter statement sounds a bit odd, hm? But seratch your heads a moment, O ye old grads and members of the dormitory knights. Oft while in bed on a delightful Saturday morn, have you not drowsily opened your eyes to hizs cheerful greeting of Gooed mornin' mistah wmpha' for George only knows the names of two menJohn Rothrock and Texas Ba- conl. And have you not watched him open the door of your room at ex- actly forty-five degrees and sweep out a beautiful triangle of cleanliness! And further, good reader, if you will but bear with us, have you not heard the old basket drop beside the next door, and listened to his broom slide gratingly down the wall, hitting the door, and finally land against the floor with just enough force to wake you from those last forty winks? Now 01000010 X i 00 !C + 0-0 'l 0 00 O e B i DI 010 01001.C whether George was a trifle bashful at being in the presence of one who was in a state of dishabille, or whether he possessed a hazy idea that all the rooms were contaminated with leprosy or some such kindred diseasze, will probably never be definitely ascertained; but certain it is that George has never in his collegiate life sounds rich, hm? been in any one room longer than two minutes at a time. But there! there! aren't we the saucy devils with a pen! Why old George has many fine points; and were it not for his watchful eve over the late sleepers the firing squad would have a great many excuses for the first period over which to ponder. Withal, George is a pretty good and honest old top, and is one of the land marks of the 0ld Institution. A la 1896. Then as a representative of the agricultural department we have as a later arrival Jacobitski Gnorotodaralewski or at least that is what it sounded like when he pronounced it to us. Now about Jakie we can say very little, only that as dean of the agricultural serubs he must have his hands full keeping Chambers and Wilson from playing in the phosphate. Of course, in addition to Jakie we have a host of helpers out at the experi- mental station ; but they are not really ranked as serub professors. Oh no! They are merely helpers of the Faculty reserves. Now it is customary, we believe, for good writers to save the best until last; and for this reason we reserve the last place for the scrub stenogra- pher, Maria Pennington fat, fair, and age unknown. For twenty years Maria has held her position as stenographer with the serub faculty, with offices in the kitehen. And it is in the kitchen that she receives most of the dictations of George James, the secretary, who, by the way, dines while he dictates. The former operation, we are pained to say, takes up a large part of the time. But Maria is always on the job to do anything for dem fat boys, as she fondly terms the student body; and will go out of her way to press a pair of trousers or to concoct some particularly palatable dessert for a sick boy. if she is allowed to pass her church book round 'mongat the white folks once in a while, Maria's church book does double duty. It aids the christian work, and it relieves the boys of many dimes which would otherwise be spent at pool or some other voluptuous pastime. Ah, never will we forget one of their meetings when Maria, being incensed at a re- mark concerning her cooking, rewarded the deliverer of the remark with a leg of mutton over his ear. But Maria appears to be the life of the meet- ings; and so long as she continues to be the scrub stenographer we predict a happy and suecessful serub faculty.

A. h The following is an extract of one of the various vivid prevarications to which we all have been subjected during our friendly visits to his class- room. In fact he can rattle it off nowadays so as to deceive Ananias him- self ; therefore we have deemed it advisable to use the above title to his series of episodes. Now to begin A little soft music please, professor! When I was stationed in the wilds of the Philippines, about six dayvs' march from Manila, my regiment and I were suddenly attacked by 1,706,497,230 Moros, of course you all know what Moros are. Well, as 1 was saying, we were attacked, and it was up to ME to save the day. These particular Morosperhaps because of their close proximity to China, had acquired their manners and habits, and in their mode of attack came up like a string of Chinamen vou all know how Chinamen walk, duck-like, you know. My men pleaded for me to surrender, but would I surrender? No! not I! for a brilliant idea had blossomed in my head and knowing my trusty rifle would not desert me in my dire need, and knowing I also was a sharpshooter you all notice that piece of bronze on my chest I took aim at the groove between the eves of the first man and fired. Needless to say my aim was unerring, and when the smoke had cleared away there lay the poor Moros stretched out like a long trail, and just for fun I started to count them, Well, it took me so many weeks to count them that I wore out 200 pairs of shoes, and from authentic figures the above number tallies. In fact it took me so long that before I came back 1 was so aged that my men did not recognize me, and but for their failure to do so I would now have been general of the United States Army instead of teaching here in Dela- ware College and running the faculty.

Was not Marey Pacer the only daughter of old man Pacer, who kept a tripe foundry in Kenton? Truly she was a prize to be sought for and oft he had wished to have her as his own. But to win her he must have nerve, and he felt certain at the critical moment when he proposed this essential constituent would fail him. Suddenly an idea struck him not hard enough to inflict bodily injury.

The effect of the nerve food was evident., Long before evening he had rigged himself up in his best harness, had oiled his best pacing shoes, curried his mane, and checkreined his collar.

As he ap- proached she lifted her head and whinnied a glad appreciation. Right here and then he would have bolted and galloped a retreat, but oh you nerve food! Tt was his benefactor, hizs preserver. Drawing near to her he neighed and began to splutter forth: Marey, I love you, Ever since you and 1 used to pasture in the meadows in days gone by you have been my true love. His voice then broke into popular song. Think it over Marev: Marey, you're a hig girl now, came forth in melodious warblings. Then he changed to prose again. You know, Marely, how I care for vou.

Eaech one raised its head, And, with a smile that looked h11, Answered, The names of those who lie so0 well. And is mine one? said the Lieut. Nay, not so, Replied each devil.

He had led them into the thinnest of the fray, where the powder and bullets were the thickest just behind the ammunition wagon. Hali- ing his men for an instant, he addressed them : You see, men, said he, T am a very brave fighter, and I am afraid if I go into this battle I will receive all the glory. Besides, I have a very sore knee from eating too much salmon; therefore, I will urge you on from be- hind. Now, men, you are to depend on me, your brave chieftain. When 1 cease giving commands you are to cease firing, and vou will know that the battle is won.
