C means not only the College we praise— The school we will love throughout all our days— But Clifford, the father, a true pioneer Who blazed out the way with a vision clear. L in C read aright, Life in College appears, Love in College translate it, if that suits your years. But though C stands for College and Culture, ’tis true, ’Tis the first part of City, Community, too; And while we LinC up each year to the past, Forging a chain that will hold us all fast, We mean to LinC, also, our life here in school To life in the world—though opposed to all rule— That we may give freely of our very best To the City which touches our doors on the west, And that it in its turn may teach us to know How to best serve our fellows as through life we go. Thus of whatever phase of our College we think, It is all to be found in the one word—the LinC. —Wahnita DeLong.

FOREWORD Through the first two years of our college’s life, we did not feel the lack of something to hold our memories and link our years, as we were all here together in their presence; but now that the first real class is leaving to go out into the world, we feel that we must have something to bind them to us who remain, to one another, and to the college. In hope of accomplish¬ ing this, we have labored faithfully to forge this, the first LinC in a long chain of books. If we have succeeded, even in a small measure, in linking the memories and associ ations of col¬ lege days for you, we count our time well spent. May this LinC prove worthy of being the first in the long chain that is to be! 3 a D G i 4 Ci-LibGj r DEDICATION iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiy To him who has ever had the wel¬ fare of Evansville College close to his heart, who has strived valiantly in her establishment and who has been foremost in bringing to pass all good things for her, To Alfred F.

C3 “ UfjSSfc „c== r 0 l 0 a G =4 □G Evansville College has been very fortunate in being located as she is. The city of Evansville has been most kind and generous with her facilities. The Evansville Public Library has been most generous in allowing us to use all their equipment. Every one of their 70,000 volumes is accessible to college students. To their kindness in opening their shelves to the free use of students, they have added that of collecting material on all subjects and reserving it for college use, if they do not send it to the college library. The time and trouble the city corps of librarians has taken are certainly appreciated. Willard Library, also, has been very helpful and friendly in their rela¬ tions with the college. Many old books are on their shelves which we could not get elsewhere, and the library has been extremely kind in letting us use them. Bosse Field, the great stadium, we have always been free to use when we needed it. In track work it has been invaluable. For our former commencement programs and other events requiring much space, we have had the Coliseum. The great memorial organ is there, and the weekly recitals given by our professor of organ there have been a source of much pleasure to the students. Many beautiful parks provided places for many delightful picnics and outdoor affairs. The Ohio river, also, has been the scene of much fun, as well of beauty. Tennis courts are open to students at nearly all the parks, and many have taken advantage of them, too. Many great lecturers and artists visit Evansville every year, and many of them have talked at chapel services. All the clubs, all the people have been vitally interested in the welfare of the college, and have watched its development with delight and loving care. All the relations of the town and gown have been and are the most friendly and close. I J (££ 27 = u 3 G = 4 TfiC-i-LinG 4 = EAST SIDE CARNEGIE LIBRARY— (Honig).

Mr. Bosse was the chairman of the executive committee and the chairman of the special building commit¬ tee which erected the first building on the campus. Mr. Bosse was perhaps more active in business here than anyone else in the city. In the financial drive to raise funds for the transfer of the college from Moores Hill to Evansville, he was very instrumental in obtaining the $500,000 needed. Mr. Bosse was yet a young man, and had many years of possible service before him. The loss occasioned the college by his death is indeed im¬ measurable.

It was remarkable how the news spread. Edgar McKown, Lyman Davis and Norman Beach were at DePauw University and they immediately began making plans to enter Evansville College. Thelma Ossenberg at Indiana University heard the call, too, so these four students entered the college as Sophomores and remained to receive their degrees. In another year the accounts of the college had reached Ferry Hall, Lake Forest, Ill., where Louise Engelsmann was finishing her second year. Word also came to Sarah Lee Lloyd, a Sophomore at Maryville College, Maryville, Tenn., who had spent her Freshman year at the Western Ken¬ tucky State Normal. Emma Waters, after being in school at the Illinois State Normal and at Oakland City College, decided to finish her work at Evansville. C. C. Robinson, who had taken part of his course at Central Indiana Normal, also matriculated. These four entered the class in the Junior year with a firm belief in the increasing opportunities in store for Evansville College students. Gerhard Ahrens returned to Evansville College to complete his Senior year, having had previous work at Evansville College, Indiana Central Normal and Oakland City College. Edna Vogel, a graduate of Kentucky College for Women at Danville, Ky., with additional work at Western Kentucky State Normal and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville; Edward Trusheim from Concordia College, River Forest, Ill., and Jane Wright also entered the class in the Senior year. Jane Wright has the dis¬ tinction of being the first graduate having had all her work at Evansville College. Notwithstanding the fact that twelve Seniors represent the students from twelve institutions of learning, they have come to Evansville College and have given her the best of their experience. As a class the men and women of ’22 have had their full share of college life, have borne their full share of responsibility and have given their full share of service. As a class they will leave Evansville College, but they will always carry with them the spirit of the institution, realizing that it is their privilege to stand for her principles and to honor her name. —SARAH LEE LLOYD.

They have no apologies to make. Upon graduation next year they will be the first people to have taken all their work for the A. B. degree at Evansville College, for it was they who entered as Fresh¬ men when Evansville College opened its doors in September, 1919. This class has always taken the lead in student affairs. Its members have con¬ tributed far more leadership in Literary Societies, Christian Associations and other or¬ ganizations than was their numerical share. As Freshmen they started the Crescent and its editors and business managers have always been chosen from the now Junior Class. As Freshmen, too, they put the Sophs to rout. As Sophomores they triumphed over the Freshies, and in general ran the school. As Juniors they have undertaken the publication of the first college annual—this volume of the LinC.

Freshmen have the same privileges as Seniors. The entire student body is the legislative body. Faculty control of purely student affairs is reduced to the minimum, con¬ sisting in the requirement that any piece of legislation be approved by the president of the college. The notable achievements of the year in student government are herein briefly recorded. At the beginning of the year the Executive Board, under instructions from the association, conducted a course of instruction for the Freshmen on the ideals and customs of the college. The constitution and legislation was read by the new students who signed, upon finishing that reading, a pledge of allegiance to the school. Officers of the association spoke to the class in Sociology I, including all new students. The naturalization of the Freshmen culminated in an induction service in which they were formally admitted to the rights and duties of the Student Government Association. The first organized class scrap was held this year under the direction of the Executive Board. The banquet, at which the Freshmen were the guests, was also a part of the program of the association. During the year the Honor System was put to a test in the trial of a student for cheating in examination, and the attitude of the students and the student officials augured well for the continuation of student control of examinations. The By-laws of the association were adopted. The outstanding fea¬ tures are the Committee on Student Decorum and the Social Committee. The former committee, headed by Miss Louise Engelsmann, has been ef¬ ficient in keeping order in the library and halls. The Social Committee is for the purpose of assisting the various organizations and societies to dis¬ tribute the social events of the year more evenly and to avoid crowdings at the close of the terms. 01 v. 59 tufont (Siromtmpnt Aaaflriatum—(Hottttmtrfr EXECUTIVE BOARD Voting Members President____E.

Myrtle McKown Lois Mueller Harriet Murphy Beatrice Myers Ada Nelson Esther Pyle Arva Ricker Dorothy Robinson Gertrude Schneider Dorothea Snethen Doris Swift Emma Waters Jane Wright The Sigournean Literary Society, the second oldest literary society in the college, was founded in 1857. Its literary programs and social events are united in one purpose, that of making ideal womanhood the center of its aspirations. The literary programs held once a week are open to visitors and combine humor and seriousness. During the past year some of the leading modern novelists have been studied and their works reviewed. Musical numbers are given at all meetings and sometimes the entire program is given over to the musicians of the society. The members of the society who have completed their college course and are living in Evansville have formed an auxiliary society. Often the two sections combine in social events and programs. The society has as members several older Sigourneans who were with the society when the college was at Moores Hill: Mrs. A. J. Bigney, Mrs. W. C. Patrick, and Mrs. E. V. Hawkins. These women are proving what true Sigournean fellowship means by their help and loyalty to their younger Sigournean sisters. The social calendar for the past year consisted of a reception for the three other literary societies and the faculty in January, a picnic supper and theater party in April, and the annual hay-ride in June. Sigournean colors are blue and gold, symbols of loyalty and worth; the flower is the daisy; and its motto is, “Pluck the laurels from the mountain top of science.” , -k ' ; irajrrr. ■JJ •— —- uJ r Sturraxf. y Iin !er. •far tin T aAnrt ecA er ran SI r r a_ C 1 -c 6 a c pintnsctrau tCitmtry § oriPty OFFICERS.

Past .The Society was organized at Moores Hill in 1869; reorga nized at Evans¬ ville, November 21, 1919. The chief concern of the members has been the establishment of ideals and principles consistent with the growth of Evansville College. Hoping to help all literary societies get a vision of larger service to every student, this society, February 2, 1921, passed a resolution making every male student of E. C. eligible to membership on application. Standards within the society are upheld by placing the control in the hands of second and third degree members. The require¬ ments for these degrees are sufficiently high to maintain the traditional standards of the society.

Roads as presi¬ dent. The name is of Greek origin from the legend “Castalia”. Of the literary socie¬ ties this organization is the youngest. It maintains a high scholarship, each member being required to have an average of at least C plus. The Castalians have as their motto, “Vincit quae patitur”; as their colors, red and white; and as their flower, the red carnation. Mrs. Ernest Nagle, one of the founders of the Society, is the advisor of the Evansville College organization. On registration day of this school year, the Castalians gave a get-acquainted picnic at Mesker Park for the new girls. During the month of October a candy sale was held by the Society in College Hall. As it proved to be a success, another was given in January. On February 25, the Castalians entertained the Philoneikean Literary So¬ ciety with a taffy-pull, in the basement of Bayard Park Church. During the spring quarter Mrs. Nagle entertained the Castalians with a luncheon at her home and a theater party afterwards; and later in the quarter, the Society en¬ tertained the Sigourneans. In the last week of school a farewell gathering was held by and for the members of the Society. GhLtlDG f. W. CD.. A. OFFICERS President-.—__ Vice-President.___-.. Secretary___ Treasurer....

A. was organized at Sweetser Hall on the evening of No¬ vember 19, 1919, under the auspices of Dean Franklin and with the help of Miss Ruth Stolte, central field secretary. It began with fourteen charter members and has steadily grown until it now has over fifty active members. As its first officers the organization elected Eva Johnson Dailey president, Nellie Kelp vice-president, and Elizabeth Blackman Whitehead secretary and treasurer. In 1921 the charter was received. During its three years of organization in Evansville College, the Y. W. C. A. has been most successful and through its budget raised by the plays, “Peabody Pew” and “Spreading the News,” its peanut machine, rummage sales, and candy shelf, has been able to undertake much. In 1920 it sent Ella Raymond Proctor and Arva Ricker to Lake Geneva. In 1921 Eva Johnson Dailey and Sarah Lee Lloyd were sent, and in the spring of 1922 Dorothea Snethen and Miss DeLong were representatives to the national convention at Hot Springs. The beginning of an industrial students’ co¬ operative plan was begun with a party for the city industrial girls; there was a party for the children of the Rescue Mission, joint parties with the Y. M. C. A. for new students, vesper se rvices, hikes and picnics. The association also helps in the support of Miss Dunning, a Y. W. C. A. secretary in Japan. T — Cz) U — .DAB tffiS) u % A i. m. ci. a. Here is the 1921-1922 Y. M. C. A. cabinet. Perhaps the 1923 LinC will contain the picture of the entire membership. The College Y in Evansvilie College is necessary just as it is necessary in other colleges. It is meant to contribute to college life what other or¬ ganizations sometimes fail to contribute—a genuinely Christian atmos¬ phere. Its activities include weekly religious meetings in the building and as much campus and community service as it is possible to render. Now that we are on our new campus it is the Y that will take hold of campus recreation and attempt to make it the clean, wholesome sport that it ought to be. Every student will be linked up with the church of his choice through the efforts of the Y. Churches in the community needing supply preachers will be served by the Y also. Meredith M. Hogue was elected president for the year 1922-1923. He will lead us through another year and report in the 1923 LinC. OFFICERS—1921-1922 u President___________Ira G.

McKown, who served as president for the first two years. The band at present consists of seven members: A. M. Brown, president; E. M. McKown, secretary and treasurer; N. Y. Park, of Korea; Arshaluis Kalemkiarian, of Armenia; Dorothy Robinson and Ada Nelson, of Indian¬ apolis; and Mrs. Gerald Dailey, formerly Miss Eva Johnson, of Peters¬ burg. The work of the band on the campus has principally been in providing Christian leadership and working through the Christian associations. The Student Volunteers have been active in all the missionary activities of the campus and especially in directing mission study courses in the Christian associations. It is the purpose of the band to co-operate with all organiza¬ tions on the campus in presenting to the students the needs of the world and in promoting a spirit of brotherhood among men, both on the campus and in the community. 74 dtlub OFFICERS President_______Charles F.

Nothing happens about college halls without its being evidenced somewhere in the “organized gossip” sheet. Sometimes it is a mere recorder of what has happened and again it goes ahead and points out the way. The Crescent has had three years of growth. The first issue appeared on October 21, 1919, a month after the opening of the college. It was then published by a group of students who had organized a Press Club. These students, under Dr. Franklin’s di¬ rection, met once a week for discussion of matters pertaining to journalism in general and the college paper in particular. But the Press Club had a short career. Due to erratic reporting the paper was often late in appearing. There was no way to compel the members of the club to write up and turn in the assignments given them, so that the great bulk of the work fell on the immediate members of the staff. In January, 1920, the Press Club was abandoned and a class in Journalism was or¬ ganized. The class met one hour weekly and one hour of credit was given. Member¬ ship in this class was by invitation of the Crescent staff. The second year the class met two hours each week and this is the arrangement still used. The Crescent now has a circulation of five hundred. Three hundred copies are subscribed by the college and sent to high schools within a radius of one hundred and fifty miles of Evansville and two hundred copies are taken by students.

True to the old Kentucky spirit, the primary purpose of the club is to promote true fellowship among the Kentucky students. A most outstand¬ ing proof of this fellowship was evidenced in the first meeting when it was unanimously decided that no member should consume more than two quarts of moonshine a week and that weapons for controlling aggressive Hoosiers be limited to two six-shooters each. No action was taken to prohibit the Kentucky belles from accepting the affections of Hoosier lads, but there was a strong sentiment against it among the boys. To the club this is one of the most troublesome problems to be solved. in r ■X MEMBERS Ernest Bakewell John K.

Student Government has been very successful at Sweetser Hall and the girls feel a real satisfaction in living co-operatively. The “Sweetserites” have a real home at Sweetser Hall, where they enjoy many social affairs. The social calendar for the past year consisted of a reception for the new girls, a party for Mother Rose, a Valentine party and a farewell party for Mother Rose, a hike, and a launch ride. Sweetser colors are pink and grey. House President V ice-President.... Secretary......

J rv The Engineers’ Club was organized in the fall of 1920 by the first students in the new college department, Co-operative Engineering, to pro¬ mote the practical arts and sciences of engineering and to encourage better fellowship among the engineering students. First officers elected were Fred Kuster, president; Herbert Ellis, vice-president; Horace Howard, secretary; and Ed Wilke, treasurer. The design for the pin was suggested by Dr. Olaf Hovda, an honorary member of the club. At each meeting two or three men give talks on technical subjects, which are followed by open discussion. Motion picture films have been secured and meetings have been open to the public. At one meeting more than 200 shop men of the city were the guests. Discussion of shop prob¬ lems and some form of amusement usually complete the program. Men of the engineering club are employed in the leading industries of the city. There are men in the Hercules Gas Engine Company, Bucyrus Steam Shovel Company, Faultless Caster Company, International Steel and Iron Company, Karges Furniture Company, Wemyss Furniture Com¬ pany, and Scarborough-Davies Company. A unique feature in the work of the engineers is that several of them have helped to build the new college administration hall, where the college will be located next fall. The men find their shop work an invaluable part of their engineering- education, and the experience they get in the alternate two weeks that they work in the varied industries does much to make their school work more intelligible and concrete. ] AgasBtE (Eluh Physiology Division Zoology Division President.... ....Ernest Watson A.

The charter under which Evansville College operates provides that the graduates of Moores Hill College shall also be considered alumni of Evans¬ ville College since the new institution is the successor to the old one. All Moores Hill alumni are entitled to have the seal of Evansville College placed upon their diplomas and many have already taken ad¬ vantage of this privilege. Thus it happens that Evansville College had an alumni of 495 people when her first commencement was held. To this number she has added two by graduation. Of this number 256 are men and 241 are women.

Any woman who is interested in the college may become a member. There is at present a membership of more than one hundred. The purpose of the club is to foster and maintain co-operation and sympathy between the community and the college, and to further educa¬ tional interests. The big thing that the club is doing for the college this year is to help raise funds to furnish the women’s rest room in the new administration hall.

Membership was restricted to women members of the faculty and wives of professors. The purpose was to pro¬ mote acquaintance and friendship among the faculty members and to pro¬ mote and foster the social life among the members of the student body. Regular meetings have been held on the second Saturday of each month. On March 21, 1922, the club gave a formal tea in honor of Mrs. Frederick D. Leete, wife of the bishop. The other very enjoyable occasions have been a picnic and a boat ride. After such an auspicious beginning, the future is awaited with great anticipation. zr — 1 - Lr - 1 J ( C V M j 1 K M 4= liTlljj™ I J W L FEB ' B09 i@ a V J Evansville College is proud of three foreign stu dents. No Yong (New York) Park, who has made himself very much felt through the year, is from Korea, whence he fled after persecutions at the hands of the Japa¬ nese. His greatest desire is to go back to Korea and free his land from oppression. He is an eager student of Christianity, which he says is fast becoming the religion of Korea. Miss Arshaluis Kalemkiarian is from Armenia, and with thousands of other Armenians suffered privation in the war. She is a faithful Y. W. C. A. worker and will give her life to this field. Thomas H. (Tin Horn) Tang comes from China to partake of Ameri¬ can scientific knowledge. He hopes to do his part to modernize the oldest nation—China. g TfiG iilD(£ ArttuitiPH Russian Lunches “Bring your pocketbooks and leave your appetites at home,” was the advice “Prexy” gave the student body and faculty in inviting them to the first Russian lunch. By valiant work on the part of the committee, of which Miss Gladys Sevringhaus was chairman, the total of $175 pledged for needy European students was raised. Lunches costing approximately 5 cents were served at a price of 30 cents, the surplus going into the fund. Washington and Lincoln Program Miss Marguerite Hummert, Ernest Watson and Lyman Davis gave a chapel program in which the lives of Abraham Lincoln and George Wash¬ ington were presented. An interesting picture exhibit added to the pro¬ gram. Albert Lectures A series of lectures on the general topic, “The City,” was given by Allen D. Albert, latest elected member of the board of trustees. Mr. Al¬ bert, a leading sociologist of the United States, has carried the scientific study of cities farther than any other man. Devine Lectures On December 13, Dr. Edward T. Devine, a foremost American sociolo¬ gist, was brought to Evansville by the college. His afternoon lecture was on “American Ideals” and at night he spoke on “Standard of Life.” Week of Prayer Special messages were delivered during the Week of Prayer for Col¬ leges by Prof. T. A. Williams in chapel. Good English Week Under the general supervision of Miss DeLong and Mrs. Franklin the Freshmen put on two interesting original skits. They were entitled “The Ambitious One” and “Teacher Wanted.” They were directed by Miss Flossie Klein and Miss Marguerite Hummert. Community Welfare Work A unique work of the year was that engaged in by students in the sociology classes under Prof. W. A. Terpenning. The men of the classes acted as connecting links between the Big Brothers of the city and their Little Brothers. Some of the men and women made talks in the county schools on the value of milk and milk products. Others aided in copying juvenile court records for use of Com¬ munity Welfare. It is the ideal of the college to continue such close contact between the college and the city that you cannot tell where one leaves off and the other begins. i Decorated for bravery, Order of the LinC. iOtnC” Army How the First Evansville College Annual was sold is a story that will always be remembered by the people who were fortunate to participate in the LinC army drive. On May 1 only 200 copies had been sold. A week later the books showed a sub¬ scription list of more than 500. This with a student body of less than 200 undergrad¬ uate regular students. It was Ira G. Adams who organized the LinC army and lead it to victory, report¬ ing “casualties” of 350 “dead” just a week from the day the army went into the field. Responding to the request of the LinC staff, the whole student body rallied round the LinC standard, invaded the city of Evansville, and showed again that Evansville has the pep in a time of need. The Army was organized with Ira Adams as Commander-in-Chief, General R. E. Olmsted, Chief of Staff, and Major G. O. Dailey, War Correspondent. Two divisions were formed, the Purple and the White. Officers of the respective divisions were as follows: White Division Purple Division General Henry B. Simpson Regiment L Colonel Joyce Bailey Capt. Norman Beach Capt Alfred Murray Capt. Huston Taylor Capt. C. F. Ault Regiment I Colonel W. A. Terpenning Capt. Beatrice Myers Capt. Lyman Davis Capt. Louise Engelsmann Capt. John K. Jones General A. M. Brown Regiment N Colonel Meredith Hogue Capt. Ernest Watson Capt. Frederick Martin Capt. Mabel Inco Capt. Howard Lytle Regiment C Colonel G. B. Franklin Capt. E. M. McKown Capt. Perry Tichenor Capt. Leroy Milby Capt. Sarah Lee Lloyd The whole student body and faculty were enlisted into the army. For bravery in action Private Edward Stuteville v as promoted to Lieutenant. For exceptional bravery the following were decorated with the Order of the LinC: Colonels Franklin and Terpenning, Captains Tichenor and Murray and Lieut. Stuteville. Regiment C, commanded by Colonel Franklin, went over the top on the fourth day scoring a total of 107 “casualties.” All other regime nts came so near their ob¬ jectives that the battle was declared won without question. The armistice was signed May 8, just one week after hostilities opened. m u J a c D -C a “(Eupi ’s ArtimtU ' s” During the summer before the fall term opened Cupid seemed to have been very active among our E. C. students. The marriage of Miss Betty Blackman to Mr. Walker Whitehead; that of Miss Martha Cox to Mr. William Payton Reynolds; and that of Mr. Fred Kuster to Miss Helen Fuquay prove his activity. The engagement of Mr. George 0. Clifford to Miss Mary Adams Mitchell of Richmond, Virginia, must also be men¬ tioned. Since the young George Clifford is the son of the “daddy of Evansville College,” then it follows that he and the college must be brothers (or brother and sister) and soon we have a sister-in-law. The circle of rela¬ tions is growing. But did Cupid cease to function when school opened and the balmy days were gone? No, not at all. Four very conspicuous diamonds tell the tale better than words could here. We refer to those worn by Misses Mary Eicholz, Bessie Lewis, Jane Wright and Rena Bowen, and distributed by Messrs. Edgar McKown, Lawson Marcy, Ralph Olmsted and Joyce Bailey, respectively. And then came the first real college wedding—an epochal event for it broke the ice and will make the way easier for others—two college stu¬ dents married by a student preacher at the girls’ dormitory in the pres¬ ence of the dean of women and two professors. We refer to the wedding of Miss Eva Johnson and Gerald O. Dailey, who were married March 12, 1922, by Rev. Edgar McKown. This incident seemed to give the Little Imp heart again and he began firing his arrows unrelentlessly. The censor has clipped the names of those stricken (or smitten) for future publication, but here are some strong hints for good guessers: One ambitious little chap whom you would never suspect of being en¬ gaged, or ever becoming engaged, is this very day eating twenty-five cent meals instead of the thirty cent variety, and throwing his nickel saved to the back of his dresser drawer for the future purchase of a diamond. What do you think of that? Another, just as ambitious, but more of a ladies’ man—so much so, in fact, that it is hard to believe he can ever be tied up with just one—has almost let the cat out of the bag a number of times since Christmas.

U 108 g= 4 4 = 5 }G r n C J An iEptr of IE. (E. 0 V ARGUMENT Lack of educational facilities is a monster. The place it inhabits, a morass. The courageous personality of Dr. A. F. Hughes is a hero worthy to conquer it. But Dr. Hughes has had his college buildings destroyed by fire. Such a Seer as the Father of our College aids greatly in bringing together the man and the opportunity. Right near a Hoosier town named Evansville In former times there was a wide morass, Inhabited by vile and creeping things; And dragons dwelt therein to glut on blood. And one there was of dark and hideous mien, That frightened mothers and their prattling babes, But to his victims seemed an angel fair. Another wrapped within his famine folds, Consumed not quite, but sent forth skeletons What once were happy folk throughout the land. And from that virtuous population rose Heroes who drove them back to their den, and there Dispatched their lives. But one remained unscathed By human curse, unharmed by mortal’s spear, Though many were the imprecations hurled And many were the weapons heaved amain. A monstrous head with loud and babbling tongue Was set on massive shoulders, fiendish hands Tipped arms whose might and powerful embrace From countless thousands squeezed ambition, hope, And love. With his impotent legs walked not But like a god he glided o’er the ground Yet flight assayed not. Scores thus fled his grip, Escaped his cavernous maw with wings, the gifts Of opportunity. But only those, The choice of Fortune, ’scaped his fiery breath; But other hundreds faltered, failed and fell, Whom hard Necessity compelled to walk Before his murderous onslaughter. Sometimes they reached The even, but oftener in the morning tide Of rose cheeked boyhood, gallant youth, or when Fond little hopes were brightening the home, Fell doom o’ertook them. Children cried for bread For soul and body, wives bewailed lost hopes, And all the land lay waste with bones of men, As though the fen sent forth its stinking breath And crept beyond its borders. The fiendish foe Nor they who soared nor they who walked could slay Nor might he die at one fell stroke, but slow His life-blood ebbing, breathe his spirit forth. Anon there came a warrior to the realm Whose hand was tried ’gainst dragons, often he Had been engaged in combat, dealt hard blows And sent to death unnatural foes of man. Himself had met this monster in his youth And struggled from his grasp. His name was Alfrank. His fame was spread abroad, as o’er the land He wandered seeking what his strength might do. What wrong avenge, what human-hating foe His sword might bite and drink the welling blood. C J -T 5rar§; IBB = 4 fixing c {} But now the heart of Alfrank was disturbed For fiery evil stole his magic sword, Scattered his doughty band, and sent him forth. His coat of mail gold-ringed, and shining shield Protected him, but he could not engage In mortal combat, as had been his wont, Some monstrous demon that had preyed on man. The fire within consumed him; the Fatal Three Decreed that he should either strike the foes That held mankind in terrors and in woes, Or else unhappy wander all his days. And so discouraged, here and yon he strayed If he, perchance, might come upon the sword. In such a mood he reached the Hoosier town That bordered on the dread morass. The folk Had heard of his great prowess, and besought His aid. He listened to their wretched plight. Heart hunger seized him; then his warrior’s heart Rose up, and in his anguish did he tell Them of his loss, and how he sought both far And near; and how his soul must wander till He find it. Then the wise men of the town Took counsel; long and loud debated they Until the morning. With the morning light There came the Prophet’s voice, “Before the shrine Of Mammon set a votive offering, And therefrom let the hero forge his sword. I long have dreamed that there would come a man Mighty in heart and hand, whose might would mold A weapon that should from that monster drink His life; and after build a hall in whose Vast consecrated beauty we are blest.” Then gifts came made by sacrifices great From high and low; throughout the country side There ran a thrill of joy that leapt and throbbed. Courageously the noble warrior grasped His new-found sword, and gathered up his band For conquest. Soon there sounded shrieks from maids And shouts from men; the monster sallied forth To seek whom to devour. Brave Alfrank rushed To save the tender youth within his clutch. Nor did the fiend at his approach leave off Until he dealt a blow with might and main; The magic sword leapt back as spray rebounds From the stern headland. Alfrank quickly sprang Into the air escaping barely thus The monster’s claw. Thereat ensued such strife That heaven and earth seemed to participate, Until the sword of Alfrank pierced the skin And barely scraped the tendon of the hand That held the trembling youth. Whereat the fiend, Howling with rage, his victim dropped, and back He turned unto his home within the fen. The victor crowned with laurels keeps the watch When that wild outcry heralds the approach Of him whose onslaughts weak and weaker grow. The hall is built, the pride of Evansville, And therein sits the power that doth end That monster’s almost immortality, And reigns triumphant in a happy land. —EDGAR McKOWN. 3 _C 1 —C 3 _G 9 - T 5 3 II ??i: ■g ' iWl •M ‘JBSBq 11 1? § €3 is J zr a= 4 memories What precious things are memories To while away the hours!

What magic things are memories! However low their birth, For they can make a hovel The loveliest place on earth; They hover round our last goodbyes, And gleam among the stars, Embrace our greatest sacrifice To cruel death or wars.

The trees of Sunset Park are barely rustled by the breeze, while the Ohio curves below in rippling beauty. “ ‘There they come!’ “The cry is from a group of college women clustered in excitement on the very edge of the river bank. Up and down the long stretch of embankment are throngs of people, eagerly gazing toward the crescent of the Ohio. At the exclamation, a shout rises from the college men and the yell leader springs to position. “ ‘Three strong ones for Evansville huskies!’ he shouts, and a lusty ‘Rah! Rah! Rah! Evansville! Evansville! Evansville!” rings through the crowd and thrills it. Then there are three cheers for the enemy in true American Spirit—and the race is on. “It is the great day—the day of the annual regatta. This fine sport of boat-racing stirs Evansville College to the toes. What the Charles River is to Harvard, the Cam to Cambridge, the Cayuga Lake to Cornell and the Thames to Yale, the Ohio is to Evans¬ ville—the scene of one of the best, cleanest and most vigorous sports.” These are the words of Dr. G. B. Franklin as taken from one of the first issues of the college paper. It is a glimpse into the future. Dr. Franklin has attended and vis¬ ited these colleges that he has mentioned and he knows what a river location can mean to a college if it will but take advantage of the opportunities it offers. Now just what are the possibilities of the Ohio for the future Evansville College sport program? The accompanying pictures are merely suggestive of the possibilities. A more beautiful place for a regatta could not be imagined than the Sunset Park and much-talked-of Ohio crescent present. The river is not narrow and deep with a strong current, but spacious, plenty deep and as calm as a river its size could be. In fact, conditions are ideal for this—the cleanest and most desirable of all college sports— rowing, boat-racing, canoeing and other water sports. Such events as this would call literally thousands of Evansville people that have never before realized there was a real college in the city. Citizens of other surround¬ ing towns and cities would come to witness those games and Evansville College would come to the front as an institution having genuinely live water sports included in its athletic program. It is certainly to be hoped that those in authority in the sport world of the college will year by year push this feature of athletics a bit harder, so that some day this little glimpse of hope can be seen to have become a reality. 115 J G H =4 G LtlD G Atljlrtta j Harlan Miller w HARLAN MILLER (Coach) Coach Miller was an ideal lead¬ er for the squad of ’22. He com¬ manded its admiration and re¬ spect, and possessed the confi¬ dence of every man on the team. A player of no mean ability him¬ self, he drilled into the men the principles of the game, along with a sterling sportsmanship. JOHN K. JONES (Captain) Forward J. K. was a little late getting started, but improved with age until, at the end of the season, he was rated as one of the most reliable men on the floor. Fast and shifty, he held down the for¬ ward position in excellent style. LAWRENCE McGINNESS (Captain-elect) Forward “Ginny” had the reputation of being the hardest fighter on the team. “Never give up” was his motto, and he worked equally hard in the face of either victory or defeat.

Now it happened in the third year of the reign of King Alfred I, that the na¬ tion of Evansville engaged in combat with many of the surrounding nations, in an at¬ tempt to gain the supremacy over them. 2. And it came to pass that after the lieutenants of King Alfred had spoken with the lieutenants of the kings of the neighboring tribes, that the nation of Evansville selected five warriors to engage in combat with five warriors from the neighboring tribes to decide the contests. 3. And on the sixth day of January in the third year of the reign of King Al¬ fred, came there to the field of Evansville the warriors of State Normal from the coun¬ try of Terre Haute. And the warriors of State Normal did engage in deadly combat with the warriors of Evansville, so that the Evansvillites were routed with much slaughter, 40-13. CHAPTER II 1. After the defeat by the Nation of State Normal, the army of Evansville in¬ vaded the country of the Meromites and the land of the Mutuals in the region of Sulli¬ van, but were defeated and forced to retreat. 2. For the fighters of Merom defeated them, 17-11, in a slow, unexciting battle, and the armies of the Mutuals routed them, 20-17. In the latter battle did one Luther, surnamed Small, distinguish himself by his bravery and fortitude in action. 3. And it came to pass in the next week that the armies of the Law School in the land of Indianapolis reached the country of Evansville, determined to conquer the tribes living therein for themselves, and to exact tribute from them. But in a glorious battle they were routed, 29-15, and sent back to their own land, to mourn their losses. 4. Then the Hanoverians invaded the land of the “Pocket” to engage the hosts of Evansville, and vigorously did they fight, so that they routed the armies of the Pur¬ ple and White, 27-16, and did inflict much loss on the nation of the Evansvillites. CHAPTER III 1. And it came to pass that again the hosts of Evansville were faced by the ar¬ mies of Merom, when the latter invaded the region of Evansville, but the armies of the invader were repulsed with slaughter, 27-21. 2. In the beginning of the battle, the hosts of John, surnamed Jones, who had been chosen the captain of the army of Evansville, the week before, slaughtered a great number of the army of Merom. But the invaders rallied to their standard and vigor¬ ously struggled with the army of Evansville, so that for a while the soldiers of John, surnamed Jones, were hard pressed. 3. And the people of Evansville, fearing that their knights might be beaten, called to the soldiers to fight with renewed vigor. And the army heard the cry of the women, and old men, and the children, and encompassed about the host of Merom so that they were defeated and sent back into their borders. 4. And worthy of mention is the bravery shown by John in this battle. For he did conduct himself as a great warrior, and did much damage to the enemy. V . J V. K. r v. 4 look of laakptball CHAPTER IV 1. And encouraged by this notable victory the men of the land of Evansville de¬ cided, in council assembled, to send a host to invade the land of the Dentals and Butler. 2. And they found it would be necessary to conquer and pass through the land of the Dentals in Indianapolis before coming to the country of Butler, in the region of Irvington. 3. So they prepared to conquer the Dentals. But when the Dentals heard that the men of the land of Evansville were approaching their country they turned and fled before the hosts of the Purple, and refused to give battle. 4. Then did the army of Evansville engage the hosts of Butler in combat. But the hosts of Butler did compass around the band of Evansvillites, and did inflict upon them much slaughter, 67-17. And only the bravery of “Slim”, surnamed Stuteville, saved the remnant of Evansville from annihilation. CHAPTER V 1. And when the men of the Mutuals, in the land of Sullivan, heard of the slaugh¬ ter of the Evansvillites, they determined to invade the land of the “Pocket” and to take it for themselves. 2. And forthwith they set out in a great number to capture the region of Evans¬ ville. And the armies of Evansville gave battle but were vanquished, 36-30. 3. But such loss did the army of Evansville inflict on the Mutuals that they passed on and did not subject the land. And then the army of Evansville journeyed to the land of Hanover. 4. And the men of Hanover surprised them after a long hard march, over a rough road, and did defeat them, 39-18. For the men of Evansville were cold and numb after their long trip, and were in no condition to give effective battle. CHAPTER VI 1. Now it happened that the nation of Oakland City had been waxing strong throughout the season, and had come to threaten the supremacy of the nation of Evans¬ ville in the “Pocket”. 2. And the warriors of Evansville planned to engage the warriors of Oakland City, and did challenge the warriors of the latter to such combat. 3. And the warriors of Oakland City came to the land of Evansville, and with them came their wives, and teachers, and children, and all the host of Oakland City. 4. And the battle started. First the invaders gained the advantage, but they were soon overcome by the defenders of the Purple, and were forced to give way. But they were heartened by the pleas and cheers of their people and gradually forced back the men of Evansville. 5. And it came to pass that when they had gained a considerable advantage over the Evansvillites that the warriors of the latter started with renewed vigor, to press the battle, and had almost overcome the invaders, when the time allotted expired, for the nation of Evansville suffered twenty-seven casualties, and the nation of Oakland City, twenty-five.

And there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth in the camp of Evansville while in the camp of Oakland City there was rejoicing. 7. But the warriors of Evansville were not discouraged and challenged the war¬ riors of Oakland City to another contest, but the invaders, deeming discretion the bet¬ ter part of valor, retired and refused another conflict. CHAPTER VII 1. Now when the tribes within the nation of Evansville saw that their rulers were defeated by the tribe of Oakland City, they revolted and led by one tribe of Christians, known as the Y. M. C. A., threatened to overrule the supremacy of the Purple. 2. And in combat the Y. M. C. A. did so defeat the Purple that they won their independence, but no other tribes offered armed resistance. 3. And it so happened an armistice was declared, to last until the winter of 1922- ’23, when hostilities will reopen, and the hosts of Evansville will march out again to conquer the tribes and nations bordering the land of the “Pocket”. 4. And these are the names of the warriors of Evansville: John, surnamed Jones; Luther, surnamed Small; “Slim”, surnamed Stuteville; William, surnamed Bakewell; Edward, surnamed McCutcheon; Lawrence, surnamed McGinness; Veon, surnamed Greenly; Howard, surnamed Lytle, and Albert, surnamed Schmitt. 5. And the coach of the army of Evansville was one Harlan, surnamed Miller. 6. And the leader chosen to lead forth the Purple and White array in the coming campaign was Lawrence, surnamed McGinness, of that class known as Juniors. H J X) PHOTO BY K. K.

Now it happened that within the land of Evansville were several tribes of Amazons, anxious to revolt against the rule of nation of Evans¬ ville. 2. But since they were of the weaker sex, it was deemed unwise to send the army of men against these Amazons. 3. So an army of women was organized to wage war against them. 4. And it came to pass that in the first battle with the tribe of Fourth Street M. E. the warriors of Evansville were routed, 10-3. 5. And then the hosts of Lockyear’s offered battle but were van¬ quished, 11-9. And one Hilda, surnamed Reller, did perform valorous deeds in this combat. 6. But the army of Lockyear’s was not discouraged, but again offered battle and forced the band of Evansvillites to retreat, 10-6. 7. And then the tribe of Porter’s joined in the rebellion against the nation of the Evansvillites, but were suppressed, 15-3. 8. And one Bertha, surnamed Kelly, did distinguish herself by brave and heroic deeds. 9. And it came to pass that the tribe of St. John’s, having gained the supremacy of the revolters, by her many wars with them, came to feel herself to be strong enough to give battle to the nation of Evansville. 10. And the army of women attempted to subdue them, but were de¬ feated, 13-12. But all the tribes were so overawed by this demonstration by the army of Evansville, that they again swore allegiance to the nation of Evansville, and were made subject to it. 11. And the names of the warriors in the army of women, from the land of Evansville were Hilda, surnamed Reller; Arva, surnamed Ricker; Bettye, surnamed Carroll; Marion, surnamed Scull; Esther, surnamed Pyle; Doris, surnamed Swift; Bertha, surnamed Kelly; and Agnes, surnamed Kiper. a 124 OPENING NIGHT AT THE NEW GYM. EVERYBODY UP! There’s one thing each of us can say, That we will never go away After Beach’s drill in yelling, Not knowing how to spell E-v-a-n-s-v-i-l-l-e, Evansville! • . : THE NEW GYM. BPS’ -«=r iiifj ■ig fpp i 125 Atljlrtira Although Evansville College has been in intercollegiate athletics only two years, she has achieved notable success, having met the larger schools of the state in this field, and corne out with colors flying. State Normal, Butler, Hanover and the other schools of the I. C. A. L. recognize her as a worthy opponent, and a possible contender for honors. Basketball and track have been the only sports to receive full support, but with the growth of the college other branches of this department of school life will be or¬ ganized. Last year a baseball team was put in the field, but since it functioned pri¬ marily for the summer school students, was not received with the amount of enthusiasm due it. As a proper foundation is laid, however, every branch will enter into the ath¬ letic program. One of the causes of the defeats of the past season was the irregularity with which practice sessions could be held. At least two reverses can be assigned directly to this cause, and it entered into almost all of them. The team was forced to practice, first in one gym, and then in another, and occasionally not at all; but with the completion of the gymnasium on the campus regular rehearsals could be held. The effect was seen clearly during the past winter, for the squad braced wonderfully when they got on a floor regularly. In track, some difficulty was encountered, on the same account, but the team ac¬ quitted itself creditably in the meet with Oakland City. So much for the past: it can be looked on with pride. E. C. fought to the finish and never gave up until the last whistle. Her representatives played hard, and if the Fates decreed that they should lose, they lost well; but, if otherwise, they were equally cour¬ teous conquerors. As to the future: A member of the board of trustees once had a dream. He saw, along the broad Ohio, long lines of spectators. “Here they come”, was a cry, and the crowd broke into long cheers, as out on the river two shells, one manned by the youth of Evansville, came around a bend in the river, and swept past the throng. It was a wonderful sight, bringing to his mind the thoughts of the spectacular pageantry of medieval days. And Evansville won. This is the aim of those in charge of the athletic program of the school. They want first: to encourage every student to participate in some form of athletics, and provide a proper form for each student, and second: to put into the athletic program the picturesque qualities of the middle ages. Rumors are afloat that, in addition to the regular sports in vogue in schools of the middle west, swimming, tennis, rowing, and such games as polo and jai-a-lai will re¬ ceive attention. Nothing definite has yet been done in such lines, but this ideal has been set forth many times. The ultimate aim is to develop in every student a physique equal to the mental training he receives in Evansville. n MK 1 HV r i 126 4 ‘Tfic LcinG HiBtnrtJ —fUnorra BUI (Eollpge JOHN C. MOORE, In 1818 Adam Moore, a Methodist preacher from Maryland, settled in the western part of Dearborn county and became the founder of the town of Moores Hill. His son, John C. Moore, became a prom¬ inent business man. In the spring of 1853, Rev. W. W. Snyder, agent for Brookville College, called on Mr. Moore to solicit a donation for his college. This started him to thinking. Why not put the money into a college at home thus providing a col¬ lege education for our own and our neighbors’ chil¬ dren ? This was the origin of Moores Hill College. Plans were formed in 1853-’4 for erecting a building and providing means for the maintenance of the school. In 1854 the sum of three thousand dollars was raised, and a charter received from the state. Upon the completion of the building in the fall of 1856, the new college opened its doors under the name “Moores Hill Male and Female Collegiate Institute.” It was among the first co-educa- tional institutions in the state, and, as the catalogue expressly stated, “ad¬ mitted both male and female to an equality in privilege and an equality in honor, thus recognizing no distinction in mind.” MOORE HALL. 127 ‘Tf LinG ir ijtstury 0 - r ■n n The first president was the Rev. Samuel R. Ad¬ ams, a graduate of Wesleyan University. There was a faculty of nine members. The first year showed an enrollment of 197 of whom 66 were in the collegiate and 131 in the preparatory depart¬ ment. During the year two literary societies were formed, the Philoneikean organizing in September 1856, and the Sigourneans the following March with Mrs. Jane Churchill Kahler, who was to be the first graduate of the college, as president. The first catalogue, published for the year 1856- 1857, sets forth the aim and character of the college. The discipline of the institution is characterized as “strictly parental and designed to lead the student by mild and yet unbending measures to the correc¬ tion of evil and the cultivation of all that is desir¬ able in human character. It relies upon the moral sense of the student, his consciousness of right, and his disposition to do so. Yet if these fail, the means of correction are at hand”. What these unmention¬ able means were, was left to the imagination of the prospective student. The students were requested to leave all jewelry at home “otherwise the jewels of the mind may be forgotten in the adornment of the body”. Parents and guardians are “earnestly advised that students have little occasion for ‘spending money’. It would be much better for the student, the parent, and the institution if all funds of the stu¬ dent were committed to the president or one of the professors who will attend to and settle the bills of the student”. In the second year the enrollment rose to 216; however, only 49 were in the col¬ legiate department. This year, for the first time, there was a graduate, Mrs. Jane Churchill Kahler. Soon after its organization the young college was forced to undergo a struggle that tested its very fibre in its endeavor to keep its doors open for this was the period of the Civil War. In 1861, President Adams resigned to go into the army, followed by most of the faculty and nearly every man in the student body who was old enough to go. The Rev. Robert Brewington was made acting president during the rest of the year. Elected president at the next commencement, he resigned before school opened in the fall, and left for the war. At the commencement of 1862 there were only two graduates, both of them ladies. One of the annuals gives a terse account of that com¬ mencement with its curious finale—the wedding of the president and one of the grad¬ uates: “Miss Soper, salutatory and essay. “Miss Moore, essay and valedictory. “Both, music. “Exit, Miss Moore. “Forward, Miss Soper, also Prof. Brewington, also Dr. Enoch G. Woods. A wed¬ ding crowned that day”. MRS. JANE KAHLER. 128 Biatorg j C n 3D y liU In 1862 President Adams died. During 1863 heroic efforts were necessary to keep the college from being suspended. At one time instruction was given by one man and three women, while the student body con¬ sisted of girls and small boys. Another and better era began for Moores Hill with the ending of the war in 1865. Thei ' e was a rapid increase in the classes which the war had so depleted that there were only 27 in the entire college depart¬ ment. In 1865, the Rev. Thomas Harrison was elected president. Much credit is due President Harrison for the work that he did in building up the institution. His suc¬ cess in securing students was due largely to his great ability and industry as a preacher and lecturer. He had the happy faculty of creating in young people a desire for knowledge and this would bring them to the school. The enrollment for 1869 reached 367 in all departments including the grammar grades. There were 77 in the college department and that year there were thirteen grad¬ uates. This was one of the strongest classes ever given the honors of the school. Professor John H. Martin succeeded as president in 1870 with a faculty of eight members, and in the same year a normal course was organized. During this adminis¬ tration the Photozetean society was added to the Philos and the Sigs. Its lofty pur¬ pose as formulated by one of the members was “to strengthen its members in spiritual life and increase their Biblical knowledge by discussing such difficult questions or the¬ ological points as might be brought before it”. After a successful administration of two years, President Martin resigned. The Rev. F. A. Hester succeeded him as president in 1872. At this time the pri¬ mary department was abolished. The attendance of the school was therefore cut down, and for several years remained very low. The catalogue, however, gives plain evidence that whatever the attendance, the college had not relaxed its vigilance over the students. It states, “The society is marked for its intelligence, morality and religion. The town is perfectly free from grog shops, billiard tables, and all allurements which are the ruin of young men away from home. There is not a saloon in the place.” “Devotional exercises conducted by members of the faculty are held every morning. Church services are held twice each Sunday and church and prayer meetings on Wednesday and Thursday evenings”. Even the magazines were al¬ most entirely of a religious character. EARLY LIBRARY SCENE 3_ C T -C F The catalogue for 1878 gives as the magazines received in the library, six varieties of Christian Advocates, the Zion’s Herald, the Indiana School Journal and the Patent Office Gazette. Throughout the year the students were regaled by lectures on such topics as: “A Scientific Discussion of Man in His Tripartite Nature”; “The Glory and Perpetuity of Our Republic Dependent of the Rectitude of Conduct”; “Rectitude of Conduct not Incompatible with Success”; and “The Harmony of the Divine Attributes with the Doc¬ trines of Endless Retribution”. Upon the resignation of Dr. Hester in 1876, Professor J. P. D. John was elected president and held this position for six years with the exception of the year 1879-’80 when he was given leave of absence to study French in Paris. Dr. J. H. Doddridge was president during his absence. Dr. John’s administration was characterized by a very high standard of scholarship. The faculty was unusually strong. Oliver P. Jenkins, now professor emeritus of Leland Stanford University; John H. T. Main, now president of Grinnell College in Iowa, and Henry F. Showalter, now a prominent farmer near Ko¬ komo, Indiana, were the chief men. Fortunate were the students who had such a quar¬ tette as their teachers. m jli. J 130 CARNEGIE HALL. In 1882, Dr. John resigned to accept the chair of mathematics in DePauw Univer¬ sity. Rev. L. G. Adkinson was elected to succeed him. The financial condition of the school was greatly improved and the attendance increased. An era of general pros¬ perity was inaugurated which meant much toward the success of the school in the fu¬ ture days. After five years of strenuous work, he resigned and Dr. George P. Jenkins was elected to the presidency. For three years he occupied this position and main¬ tained the high standard of the school. The first college paper, “The Collegian”, was started in 1889. Upon his retirement in 1890, Dr. J. H. Martin again assumed the duties of the president. He organized a Student’s Council, which gave the students a voice in the government of the affairs of college life. A Normal department of four years was organized. A campaign was started to raise funds for the development of the school and to increase the enrollment. Much success crowned their effort. The Senior Class of 1894 has the honor of having published the first college an¬ nual, “The Melange”. Earl E. Martin, now managing editor of Scripps-McRae League of Newspapers, was editor. rars 1 r-rr r- i ill o seuil lialirni! Hiatorg Faculty 1908—C. E. Torbet, F. L. Fagley, B. W. Aldrich; Pres. F. C.

The new science hall was finished in its remodeling and all the scientific work was transferred to it. In 1897, Dr. Martin, wishing to retire from such heavy responsibilities, re¬ signed and Charles W. Lewis, ’90, was elected to the presidency. For six years he strove to carry out the high stand¬ ards of the institution. Previous to this time, stoves were used. In 18S9, the first gymnasium was built. The large store building of H. D. Moore was pur¬ chased for a science hall. In 1903, Dr. Lewis, having been elected president of the University of Wyoming at Laramie, resigned, and Dr. Martin for the third time was called to the head of the in¬ stitution for one year, to give time to find the man for the place. During this year the Castalian Literary Society was organized. The next year the honor of the presidency fell on the shoulders of Rev. Frank Clare English of Cincinnati. were begun and com- r -x For years there had been talk of a new building. It was during Dr. English’s ad¬ ministration that this became a reality. Upon solicitation of the president and trus¬ tees, Andrew Carnegie gave $18,750 toward the erection of a new building. The friends of the school gave most of the balance and a fifty thousand dollar building was dedi¬ cated June 18, 1908, and named the Carnegie Hall. It was one of the best planned col¬ lege buildings in the state. The school was accredited for classes A and B by the state and the academy was commissioned as a high school. C Dr. English resigned in 1908 and Dr. William S. Bovard was elected to succeed him. After one year of faithful and devoted service, he felt his services should be transferred to another field, so he resigned, and Dr. Andrew J. Bigney, the vice-presi¬ dent, was elected acting president until a president could be found. Late in the sum¬ mer, the mantle fell on Dr. Harry Andrews King, of Kansas. He began his work in September, 1908. A considerable debt had been incurred in completing Carnegie Hall and in maintenance. Dr. King at once began to plan and work for the raising of the indebtedness. About this time, the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church made the requirement that a college should have an endowment of $200,000 in order that it be classed as a standard college. The State Board of Education made a similar requirement. President King began to make plans for meeting the se conditions and worked for a little more than six years in conjunc¬ tion with the trustees to this end. The second college paper called “College Life” was founded. The school was growing in attendance and in the demands made upon it. Much money was raised but the Dr. Bigney Conducting Class in Zoology, 1908. Digging Lawrenceburg out of the mud after the flood of 1913. Having pictures taken for The Melange, 1907.

' “V m $r 133 a a-4 a rftf,� iiinG 4=g Biatunj friends failed to respond sufficiently to meet the demands; so it became necessary to plan for a reorganization on the basis of a Junior College. In the midst of these deliber¬ ations, President King resigned on November 1, 1915, to accept the presidency of Clark University, Atlanta, Ga. Again the acting presidency fell upon Dr. A. J. Bigney with all the complicated problems. To make matters worse the Moore Hall, which was the new name for the original college building erected in 1854-’56, burned on November 4 , 1915. This building was used for the public speaking, the Academic and Music departments. All equipment was removed through the hei’oic efforts of faculty, students and citizens. After 59 years of service, this historic structure was a heap of brick and ashes. No darker day ever appeared in the history of the school or in the experience of its friends. Notwithstanding the loss of so many class-rooms, the work of the school was quick¬ ly readjusted and the next day every class was in session. The attendance this year was 299. The graduating class numbered 22, the largest in the sixty years of faithful and devoted service on the part of self-sacrificing, loyal and well-cultured teachers, trustees and friends. The school was reorganized as a Junior College, giving no work beyond the Sophomore year. On September 12, 1916, the call came to Dr. Alfred Hughes of Columbus, Ohio, to head the institution and lead it out of the wilderness. Moses knew where he was to lead the children of Israel, but Dr. Hughes had no land of prom¬ ise. He had to discover one. No thought, however, was in his mind that that land was outside of Moores Hill. As he took up the work in the new field and surveyed its territory and talked with the friends of the institution, the suggestion was made to him that the school be re-located. This thought grew in the minds of the people and finally ended in the annual meeting of the board of trustees, June 7, 1917, when they decided to move the college to Evansville, Indiana. The curtain descended and Moores Hill College left the stage of action in Moores Hill, after playing her part for sixty-one years, to be resurrected in Evansville and to go on blessing the land by developing her youth in the principles of the right living as taught by the living Christ. These were the principles that had ever been fundamental in the teachings of Moores Hill College 134 and the 495 alumni and the thousands of undergraduates that have gone forth into every part of the world to give testimony in their devoted lives of the results of these truths planted in the hearts of the young people and growing to maturity inspiring them to live a life after the manner of their master, even Jesus Christ, the Saviour of men.

CLIFFORD WHO, IN 1916, FIRST SUGGESTED MOVING THE College to Evansville HtHtnrg—(Transition Jlmob—191 7 -1919 “If Moores Hill College could only be moved to some larger place its future would be assured.” This remark, made by the Rev. E. I. LaRue at Franklin, Indiana, January 3, 1917, first caused President Hughes to consider relocating Moores Hill College. It is impossible to recount in detail all of the incidents having to do with this transfer. Only the barest outline can be given. Such an outline naturally falls into three divisions—negotiations, campaign¬ ing, and organization. NEGOTIATIONS The suggestion received in Franklin did not long lie dormant. Within three hours President Hughes, at Seymour, discussed the matter with the pastor, the Rev. J. F. Carnes, and a prominent business man of the Method¬ ist Church of that city, both intensely interested in the possibility of relo¬ cating the college in Seymour. A week later at a meeting of the Educational Association of the Meth¬ odist Episcopal Church in Chicago, President Hughes mentioned the matter to Dr. John W. Hancher, then director of the Educational-Jubilee for the Methodist Episcopal Church. Having had some experience in attempting to finance Moores Hill College at its old location, Dr. Hancher was immedi¬ ately interested in the proposition, and arrangements were made for him to visit Seymour. On Sunday, January 21, he preached in the Methodist Church in Sey¬ mour, and there met with a number of the prominent citizens. Going to Moores Hill, he met the local members of the executive committee of the board of trustees of the college and discussed with them the possibility of bringing to completion the campaign to raise $200,000 endowment, which had been in a state of suspended animation for two years. This conference confirmed his opinion that the school could not be successfully financed at Moores Hill. On the following day Dr. Hancher met Bishop William F. Anderson and Bishop Thomas Nicholson in Chicago. He suggested to them the pos¬ sibility of relocating the college. Bishop Anderson, who had spent the day before in Evansville remarked, “If we are going to move Moores Hill Col¬ lege anywhere, it should go to Evansville.” To Bishop Anderson, there¬ fore, goes the credit of being the first Methodist official seriously to con¬ sider relocating Moores Hill College in Evansville. Bishop Anderson wired President Hughes to meet him in Cincinnati 9 r r, 137 m fl Jp II ii r. nil ri r History for a conference on the following Thursday. Can it be considered a mere coincidence that Rev. M. P. Giffin, pastor of the leading Methodist Church of Evansville, came into the bishop’s office during this conference? In accordance with the suggestion of Bishop Anderson, who was a member of the board of trustees of the college, as well as resident bishop of the Area, President Hughes visited Evansville. He learned, however, that about a year earlier, at the time of the burning of old Moore Hall, a letter had been sent to the acting president of the college from Evansville with the suggestion that perhaps it might be well to consider moving the college to that city. However, the time did not then seem to be ripe for such a move. This letter, however, now afforded the occasion for the visit of President Hughes to Evansville. Arriving at the city, he immediately went to the office of the secre¬ tary of the Chamber of Commerce, because the letter had come from a member of the committee on education of that body, Mr. George S. Clifford, who has the credit of being the first person to make the suggestion that Moores Hill College be moved to Evansville. He has every right, therefore, to the title, “The Father of Evansville College.” A conference was arranged between President Hughes and members of this committee, in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce. The com¬ mittee seemed to favor further negotiations, and President Hughes left the city feeling that the move in all probability could be made. The next step was an interview with Dr. Hancher for further counsel. He suggested that the Educational Commission of Indiana should have the matter presented to it. This commission was composed of representatives from the three Methodist conferences of the state, and representatives from the three Methodist colleges. Dr. A. B. Storms, superintendent of the Indianapolis District, and chairman of the commission, called a meeting to be held in February and invited to be present also Dr. A. W. Harris, sec¬ retary of the Board of Education at New York, and Bishop Anderson. Rep¬ resentations were made by committees from both Seymour and Evansville. After thorough consideration, the commission voted that if the college were to be moved, it should go to Evansville rather than to Seymour. The results of this conference were wired to Dr. Hancher, who named March 11 for his visit to Evansville to take the matter up with the mem¬ bers of the Chamber of Commerce. He preached in Trinity Church in the morning and met a number of representative citizens at the Y. M. C. A. in the afternoon. A committee appointed at that meeting met at the home of Mayor Benjamin Bosse with Dr. Hancher and considered the matter thoroughly. It was the opinion of this committee that Evansville was ready to go ahead with the undertaking. The problem now was to get official action both from the city and from the church to warrant going ahead. The following steps were decided upon: a public meeting of the membership of the Cham¬ ber of Commerce to be called for Friday evening, March 16, for action by that body; and Bishop Anderson to be asked to call together the members 138 77 — } TDehLfinG c 1 ffiTI ..C===9 | JL 1 l V. J JL... 4 i- l V y RtMnrg FIRST MEETING OF BOARD OF TRUSTEES of the Indiana Conference at Roberts Park Church on Wednesday, March 21, to give their decision. Dr. Storms attended the meeting on Friday, the 16th, and spoke to the members of the Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the Educational Com¬ mission of the state. At this meeting after a number of addresses and a general discussion, the large audience present voted enthusiastically and unanimously to undertake to raise $500,000 on condition that the Indiana Conference would raise a like sum. On the following Wednesday, the pastors met in Roberts Park Church at Indianapolis. The result of the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was reported. A very vigorous debate followed culminating in a unanimous vote to accept the proposition from Evansville and to remove Moores Hill Col¬ lege to that city. This action really brought to a conclusion the period of negotiations. CAMPAIGNING Having come to an agreement between the two interests, the problem now before those directing the undertaking was to raise the money. This matter was without question entrusted to that Napoleon of Methodist Fi¬ nance, Dr. John W. Hancher. With his corps of trained workers he was at that moment in an inten¬ sive campaign for Mt. Union College. He p lanned accordingly to send his forces directly from Mt. Union to Evansville to begin the campaign about March 30. A true record of the entire development cannot be given without men¬ tioning some considerable opposition that developed at this point. After the meeting at Roberts Park much pressure was brought to bear upon the secretary of the Board of Education, Dr. Harris, in opposition to the en¬ terprise. Information of this was conveyed to Dr. Hancher at Mt. Union. So serious was this opposition that after completing the campaign for Mt. Union, he kept his forces there one day until he could go personally to New York to consult with Dr. Harris. After meeting Dr. Harris, he wired his men at Mt. Union to proceed to Evansville. President Hughes arrived in Evansville Friday morning. During the day Dr. Handler ' s men arrived. A meeting was arranged for the directors of the Chamber of Commerce for that evening to meet with these men. The campaign was now on in earnest. ■ . 139 BiBtnrg At this meeting the closing day for the campaign in the city of Evans¬ ville was set five weeks later, May 3. Dr. Handler ' s workers were put in charge of the campaign. These men were Rev. William P. Dudly, who had the campaign in charge, and two lieutenants, Rev. W. E. Blackstock and Rev. F. D. Empey. Offices were opened in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce and preparations were immediately begun for the intensive drive. : , jj ;, f About one week later the United States entered the World War. For a few days matters were very uncertain. There was doubt as to whether or not the enterprise should be carried on. However, be it said to the credit of the business men of Evansville, having once put their hand to the plow, they would not look back, in a campaign rarely ever surpassed in en¬ thusiasm, the full amount of $500,000 was raised on scheduled time. It is manifestly impossible to name all of those whose contributions to this campaign were large and necessary. However, now that he has gone on to another world, it should be said to the credit of Mayor Bosse that his active and earnest leadership of the campaign was perhaps the largest single factor making for its success. His recent death has been a severe blow to the college, and it is eminently fitting that this brief tribute to his memory should be given here. The task of raising a half million dollars within the Indiana Conference was now before Dr. Hancher and his helpers. Owing to the moderate cir- GOVERNOR GOCDRICH SIGNING CHARTER FOR EVANSV.LLE COLLEGE, FEBRUARY 17, 1919 140 n HiHtorg H. C. BATTIN BENJAMIN BOSSE J. R. A. HOBSON ROBERT BONHAM MEN WHO WERE ACTIVE IN THE CAMPAIGN TO LOCATE THE COLLEGE IN EVANSVILLE r cumstances of the membership of the churches of southern Indiana, as well as for other reasons, this was a difficult undertaking. It was decided to raise the half million in two campaigns. The first campaign was for $250,- 000 raised within a fifty-mile radius of Evansville, the campaign to close July 17. Before this campaign closed practically the entire force that Dr. Hancher had been using in all of his campaigns was brought into the field. All sorts of obstacles were in the way. As a result it was necessary for certain individuals to guarantee at the close of the campaign the amount lacking. At the meeting of the annual conference in Princeton the following September, official action was taken confirming the action taken by the preachers at Roberts Park the preceding March. Thus the Conference was now not only morally but also legally back of the proposition. It authorized a campaign for $400,000 to be closed by December 20. Again the campaign was under the leadership of Dr. Hancher. Again all sorts of difficulties were encountered. More and more the war was engrossing the attention of people. Many parts of the conference were remote from Evansville. Naturally there were those who questioned the wisdom of the undertaking. Then in early December came one of the worst blizzards in the history of the state. In order to save the situation, Bishop Anderson and the district superintendents gave a note for the amount not covered by subscriptions at the time of the closing of the campaign. At the meeting of the confer¬ ence in Columbus in September in 1918, the conference officially accepted this note and added it to the quota allotted the conference to be raised for the Centenary. President Hughes was appointed secretary for the Indiana Conference to raise the Centenary quota, and for several months had an office in Evansville and one in Indianapolis. The Centenary Campaign closed in June, 1919. UtHtnrti Thus, for over two years, under circumstances most trying and at times discouraging almost beyond belief, the campaigning to raise $1,000,000 for this undertaking was carried on. There were many times when the slight¬ est hesitation or doubt on the part of the leaders would have ended in dis¬ aster. Over and over again the clearest sort of evidence was given that the undertaking was of God. v. J ORGANIZATION Raising the money was not the only concern in this undertaking. It was necessary to secure at every step of the way the proper action by the proper authorities. The matter was not presented to the board of trustees of Moores Hill College until their annual meeting in June of the year 1917, after the half million dollars had been raised in Evansville. After this body had voted unanimously authorizing the change, the Indiana Conference at the meeting the following September in Princeton, appointed a Board of Trustees of twenty-seven to continue the negotiations and to have charge of all funds raised until such time as a charter could be secured from the Legislature of the State of Indiana. This Board held its first meeting and organized by electing Bishop William F. Anderson as president. The name adopted was “The Trustees of the Fund to Establish A Standard College in Evansville, Indiana.” Negotiations were then carried on with the Board of Trustees of Moores Hill College for the actual transfer of the property. In accordance with the terms a charter was prepared and presented to the Indiana Con¬ ference at its session in Columbus in 1918 for approval. After approval it was presented to the Board of Trustees of Moores Hill College for similar action. This charter was introduced to the Legislature by Senator Roscoe A. Kiper of Boonville, Indiana. It was passed by both branches of the Legis¬ lature without opposition, receiving the signature of Governor Janies A. Goodrich on February 17, 1919, establishing Evansville College as a legal corporation. According to the charter, the deeds of transfer were signed by the officers of the old Board of Trustees of Moores Hill College and a certificate of the same was filed with the Secretary of State, whereupon Moores Hill College ceased to exist as a legal corporation, but lives on, not only in the heart and memory of its friends, alumni, and supporters, but actually in the vigorous young institution now in Evansville. After the Board voted in June, 1917, to move the College, it was de¬ cided to suspend operations at Moores Hill. Dr. Bigney and Professor Tor- bet were voted a year’s leave of absence with full pay, and spent the first winter in Harvard. The following winter Professor Torbet came to Evans¬ ville and gave his time to the work of organizing for the new college, while Dr. Bigney taught in Syracuse University. 142 t Lin Ijiatury TRUSTEES OF EVANSVILLE COLLEGE PLANTING THE GOVERNOR’S ELM After the signing of the Armistice in November, 1918, the Board of Trustees in existence at that time met and formally voted to open the College in September, 1919. Temporary quarters were secured; a faculty was engaged; advertising matter was sent out, curriculum was prepared; and on the opening day, September 19, the enrollment reached 96. This was ample proof of the need for the College and in itself sufficient justification of all the efforts that had been made during the two preceding years. From that day the history becomes the history of Evansville College. S’ S 0 ft ft HtHtnry—1919-1922 In September, 1919, the city of Evansville awoke in earnest to the fact that it was to be a college town. Almost a year before, the trustees of Evansville College had outlined a policy that included the purchase of a campus, and the immediate construction of buildings. Until these buildings could be erected, it was decided that temporary quarters should be used. Accordingly, in September, Evansville College opened in College Hall with an enrollment of ninety-six the first day. These ninety-six students were not the only ones of which the college could boast, for, true to its motto, it endeavored to serve not only its regular students, but the community as well. Community courses in various subjects were offered, and the en- BREAKING GROUND FOR EVANSVILLE COLLEGE 143 L J v. J fill a P u W (3 TT?C-lliil?6 l tHtoru rollment in these brought the total to approximately three hundred stu¬ dents. The first outstanding day in the history of the college was November 20, the day of the formal opening, when Governor Goodrich, of Indiana, was the honor guest of the city and school. That day was one that made tra¬ ditions, as those students who were fortunate enough to witness the dedica¬ tion of the campus in the afternoon realized. After the dedication, Gov¬ ernor Goodrich planted an elm tree upon the campus, to be known through future years as the “Governor’s Elm”. In the evening, after a banquet atterded by more than three hundred, a great crowd gathered in the Coli¬ seum to hear President Hughes give his inaugural address. The success of all these history-making events seemed to foretell a brilliant and success¬ ful future. All the organizations incidental to college life were rapidly formed. A Press Club was organized and in little more than a month after the open¬ ing a school paper, “The Crescent,” appeared. The day of the formal open¬ ing marked also the re-organization of the old literary societies of Moores Hill. The alumni of the societies, who were present at the opening, aided in the re-organization. For the first time the students fully realized that, although their college was young, it was not entirely new, for Moores Hill, its legal predecessor, had handed down to it some precious heritages. Student Government was not long in making its appearance. Almost immediately after the opening of school, with the approval of the faculty, the student body organized with Lester E. Foote as temporary chairman. The first real step toward Student Government was taken in November, when an agreement drawn up by the faculty was accepted by the students and ratified by the trustees. The constitution and by-laws of the associa¬ tion were then formulated, following the plan used in some Southern col¬ leges. The purpose of the formation of the Student Government Associa¬ tion, the most liberal in the middle west, was “to develop self-control, and promote loyalty.” The Student Body was given jurisdiction over all mat¬ ters concerning the conduct of students in their college life, the faculty, however, reserving certain powers. The first officers of the Association were elected in March, with Gerhard Ahrens as first president.

Upon this day the college was legal¬ ly one year old. The mid-year meeting of the trustees was held during the day, and in the evening the first annual Founders’ Day banquet, at which the Senior class of the high school was the guest of the col¬ lege. On March 16th, the college suffered a deeply felt loss in the death of Miss Eth el Burton, the acting head of the Department of Education. Miss Burton had been in charge of the teacher-training class of Evansville, and when that department was taken over, she came with it to continue her work under the auspices of the college. Her death left a vacancy on the faculty that was difficult to fill. In her honor a lecture course has since been established. Besides the re-organization of the literary societies, the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. and the other clubs of various kinds sprang up in the course of the year. A Music Department having been added in the second quarter, a Choral Society was soon formed. A French Club was formed, also, which died a painful death after a few meetings. Perhaps the most flourishing of all was the Excelsior Club, which went at various times un¬ der the names of the “Hatless Imps” and “The Derbies,” and whose cook immortalized himself by serving his helpless victims with what was pur¬ ported to be horsemeat. There was little class rivalry, throughout the year, for with a Freshman class four times as large as the Sophomore it be¬ hooved the upperclassmen to walk warily. The first commencement week of the college was practically a week for the alumni of Moores Hill. On Monday they formed the Alumni Association of Evans¬ ville College, with Dr. A. J. Bigney as pres¬ ident. Tuesday, the alumni members of the literary society gathered with the pres¬ ent members in the joint society reunion banquet. There was no graduate of the college at the first commencement exer¬ cises, but forty alumni of Moores Hill at¬ tended and were given diplomas of Moores Hill endorsed with the Evansville College seal.

The degree of Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, Doctor of Divinity, Doctor of Science and Master of Science, and diplomas in music and elocu¬ tion were awarded by President Hughes, making the Moores Hill alumni also the alumni of Evansville College. The college devoted itself to making the alumni feel that they were an integral part of Evansville College, and that the new college appreciated the part that they had played in building and upholding the traditions which it had inherited. Wr4 HtBtnry BABY AULT BABY TERPENNING BABY HOVDA In October, 1920, Evansville College began its second year with an en¬ rollment that was almost a fifty per cent, increase over that of the year before. A new department also was added, the only one of its kind in the state. This was the Co-operative Engineering Department under the charge of Professor Max B. Robinson. Professor Robinson was not the only new member to appear on the faculty for both Dr. E. S. McCartney of the Classical Department and Professor Hector L. Goumaz of the department of Romance languages resigned at the end of the first year. In addition for the second time the department of Education lost a member through death. Professor Bert Hermann, who had taught in the college for the spring and summer quarter, died soon after the close of the summer term. On “Trustees’ Day”, November 30, the Freshman Class set a precedent in its taking of the oath of allegiance. At a special chapel in the morning, the class, after formally pledging its loyalty and support to the college, was admitted to citizenship in the Student Government by the president of the association. This formal recognition of the Freshmen was one of the most inspiring moments in the history of the college. The school spirit that was shown at this service was shown in the evening at the Induction Day banquet, and again at the annual Founders’ Day banquet, February 15, when Dr. B. D. Meyer, Dean of the College of Medicine of Indiana Univer¬ sity, brought the greetings of the state university to Evansville College. The month of May saw two events of an historical nature. The first was the signing of the building contract by Mayor Bosse, chairman of the Executive Committee, and President Hughes at a special chapel service, Tuesday, May 5. The second was the breaking of the ground for the first building on May 9, when trustees, faculty and students gathered at the campus. Two hundred students, grasping a long rope, pulled the plow guided by President Hughes, which broke the first furrow. The cornerstone of the building was laid by Dr. John Ward on June 21. The first baccalaureate sermon to a graduating class of Evansville Col¬ lege was preached by President Hughes, June 19. The night of June 21, the commencement exercises of the college were held in the Coliseum, and a diploma presented to the first graduate, Miss Helen Busse. The address upon that occasion was given by President A. B. Storms of Baldwin-Wal- lace College. An enrollment of a hundred and ninety-five upon the first day of the fall quarter of 1922, an increase of nearly a hundred per cent, over the first day of the year before, was conclusive proof that the college had outgrown its temporary quarters. The total enrollment came to more than two hun¬ dred and fifty. There were five new professors on the faculty, two of them being required to fill the vacancies left by the resignation of Professor Reginald W. Billin of the Music Department and Professor Barr of the Education Department. V- J STUDENTS PAYING LAST HONORS TO THE LATE MAYOR BOSSE.

The Induction Day ceremonies, extending over November 4 and 5, as¬ sumed larger and more impressive proportions this year than ever before.

At this banquet it was announced by President Hughes that the trustees had de¬ cided upon raising the sum of two million five hundred thousand dollars within six years, another hundred thousand dollars to be raised within a year for current expenses. “This action,” President Hughes said in mak¬ ing the announcement, “assures a great future for Evansville College and for the community.” Mr. Albert was elected to the board of trustees at this meeting. The new gymnasium was completed during the basketball season, and formally opened with a game. President Hughes christened it with a bot¬ tle of arnica, as being the most appropriate thing for a gym. The formal opening of the Administration Building is being planned by the Women’s College Club, probably for early in June. The dedication of the building was held on June 16, a year from the time when the cornerstone was laid. With twelve students in the graduating class and the new building com¬ pleted, Evansville College can confidently look forward to a successful and constantly expanding future. After three years in small, temporary quarters down town, the col¬ lege moves into the new Administration Hall, one of the finest buildings in the middle west, and on to its beautiful seventy-acre campus. Those who have taken part in the work, joys and disappointments of the first three years can never forget them, but they go gladly to the new campus feeling —Photo by Penfold.

The Nancy Hanks Lincoln park at Lincoln City, Indiana, just 40 miles east of Evansville, is an historical shrine of the middle west. Here lie the remains of the mother of the martyred President. Some fifteen years ago the State of Indiana purchased the Old Lincoln farm, once owned by Thomas Lincoln, the father of Abraham, and con¬ verted it into a park. It was on this farm that Lincoln lived for several years, and here that his mother died. Since being taken over by the state the park is beautifully kept and is visited by thousands of people from all over the United States. For years the grave was unmarked, until a monument was erected by an “Unknown Friend,” popularly supposed to be Clem Studebaker of South Bend, who was a friend of Abraham Lincoln. This stirred the state to action and the land was taken over during the administration of Gov. Win¬ field T. Durbin. About five miles from this shrine in Pigeon cemetery lie the remains of Lincoln’s only sister, Sarah Grigsby Lincoln. 152 “ never dare to write as funny as I can ” — O. W.

She conies with him to school each day, With many a click and clank; It makes the students laugh and play To see Prexy turn her crank. When the spark plugs are dirty. He always leaves her by the curb, And there she lingers near And waits so patiently about, Till Prexy does appear. And sometimes longer. And then he goes to her and lays His hand upon her door, As if to say, “Pm not afraid, You’ll take me home once more. Or I’ll trade you for a Buick.” “What makes the Ford love Prexy so?” The eager students cry. “ ’Cause Prexy loves the Ford, you know,” The teachers then reply. “Except when he is in a hurry.” —W. A. Terpenning. A HARD-BOILED GUY When Pelias’ hair was growing gray, His daughters told him how in truth Some herbs that famed Medea knew Had brought old Aeson back to youth. To see if it were really so That herbs could e’er his life renew They tried them on a feeble ram, A very sheepish thing to do. Old Pelias saw the aged ram Leap up and bleat with youthful pluck: The cauldron proved a fount of youth, And Pelias thought he’d try pot luck. And so, that nothing might occur Rejuvenation to retard, They hacked old Pelias up, and then— Medea soaked him good and hard. Now Pelias was a hard-boiled guy, Ere yet he tried Medea’s brew. The strongest pot herbs went on strike, And there they left him—in the stew. The ram had come from out the brew, As spry as any playful pup, But Pelias found that he was fleeced, The aged man felt all cut up. So Pelias gave his life away Because for active youth he yearned, And thus,—if we may pilfer Holmes,— Man-slaughter to man’s laughter turned. Dear reader, when those gray hairs come, Pray be content, nor weep nor wail; For that’s the moral I would draw, The pot of message of this tale. —Eugene S. McCartney. Prexy without Elizabeth It surely would be his death. But what I ask myself each day, Is, “What does Prexy’s Bertha say?” —Edgar McKown. 01 -- 4 2 §= 4 g ■— dhv £s j GLuX Xl X -y Gc- xT t 6u s, .

Have times changed as much as some people de¬ clare? IN THE LIBRARY They always take the Freshies’ names, And Sophomores, too, I guess; For whisperin’ loud and laughin’ too, And disturbin’ all the rest. But why, oh why do they not take Upperclassmen’s names, For making eyes at loved ones near And edging up their chairs ? Innocent is the Freshman class And very young are we; But if the Seniors act up so, Soon learned will we be. No more will names be taken For what the Freshmen do, But down upon the list will go The names of those in twos. —Bessie Rold. r n If 3 -C s - � r ' u— - — “fi3(T0_ i lid oj ; 3 G ZJ C cT-Ltin 6 SONG OF THE DEAN PROF. WILLIAMS’ LAMENT 0 (Student’s Version) I’m made, I’m glad, I drink cold blood, I relish poison and eat soft mud. My teeth are sharp, I scratch and bite, I kick the Frosh out overnight. There is no hope—I’m filled with spleen, I gargle with bullets and gasoline, I’m a Dean—Dean—Dean. I’m hard, I’m tough, I’ll throw a fight, I’ll prove to you that might is right. I lack all reason, hate all others, I’d hang my sisters, shoot my brothers. I’m a dashing, crashing, death-machine, Death to hope. I’m bold and mean. I’m a Dean—Dean—Dean. Oh Poetic Muse so far away, Come near to me this very day. This mad LinC Crowd has grieved me sore, Pray touch my lips with rhythmic lore. If I were Terp, then I would prate Long and loud on the social state. If I were Robby so cordial and gay, I’d rhyme of the engine’s tuneful way. If I were Strick, of analytic mien, I’d give you poetry fit to be seen. Jf I were Bigney of dignified form, I’d rhyme at length on crayfish and worm. J SONG OF THE STUDENT (Dean’s Version) I’m pure, I’m true, I love my church, I leave my pleasures in the lurch I’d fight to study, cram all night, I hate all wrong and love the right. There’s hope for me—I strive to learn. I’m a grinding, striving old book worm. I’m a worm—worm—worm. I’m old, I’m bold, I’ve got raw hide. I eat up volumes in the Libe, I never dance, I hate to date, Don’t want to marry, guess it’s Fate, I’d rather read, and read, and learn, The other sex I loathe, I spurn. I’m a worm—worm—worm. —Wisconsin Badger. If I were Franklin of aesthetic taste, No verse of mine would go to waste. Yea, if I were Bassett of classic mold, Improvement I’d make on Vergil of old. If in education I was versed as is Cope, You surely would think me a second Pope. Or, possessed I the talents of the ladies here, You’d surely mistake me for Bill Shake¬ speare. Yes, if I were Prexy so jolly and free, The rhymes I’d give you—0 hully gee. But as for me—O cursed time, Both Philosophy and Bible fail to rhyme. If Poetry lurks in my frame about, Depend on me—I’ll not let it out. And so in company with our quiet Dean Just pass me up and check me clean. —T. A.

With one stroke he can change a laughing face into a crying face”. Bobbo: “So can mine, but he uses a stick”. F v: r. m whether the “elderly gentleman” was a flatterer, or just a bit near¬ sighted. It is told of Dr. Bassett, who is better at Greek than at golf, that after a round on the links, in which he had foozled most of his shots, he turned to his caddie for advice as to improving his play. “Well, you see, sir, it’s easy to teach laddies Greek and Latin, but it takes a head for golf.” Flatterer! Returning from a trip to New York, Allen D. Albert, trustee, told Dr. Hughes the following story. A character in the story is called, “an elderly gentleman” and while Mr. Albert declares that he was not a participant, the reader can only judge for himself. The “elderly gentleman” seemed very much interested in a little four-year-old tot who was in the same pullman, together with her mother. During the evening he told her many stories and gained her friendship. When the elderly gentleman awoke in the morning he saw five wee toes protruding into the aisle opposite. “I’ll jolly the little tot up a bit,” he thought, and taking hold of the little toe he began: “This little toe went to market, this little toe stayed—” “That will do, thank you,” came the mother’s voice in chilling tones, and the dainty little toes disap¬ peared. Dr. Hughes wants to know We Understand A few months ago, Mr. Rowlands received the letter which follows from a subscriber to the college es¬ tablishment fund: Dear Sirs: I pledge befor I knew what I was doing by flattering under our Pas¬ tor, I believe in God send preachers and teachers and no college dope for me since I got my sight from the Bible. I can help send the mes¬ sage over the world by giving to those when need it but do not be¬ lieve in college preachers. Juses or paul of peter ar not of those wher college learned so mark me off. May God help you to understand, Bro. Mr. Rowlands says that to date the help ha s not been forthcoming. i €hLiH76 4r==EI ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The First LinC is the result not of the labors of a small board of edi¬ tors, but of a concerted action on the part of the whole college. This alone has made it possible. The thanks of the editors cannot here be given individually, but to all those who aided, in whatever manner, they feel themselves truly indebted. Thanks are especially due Mr. Chester Leich for several beautiful drawings herein; to Dr. A. J. Bigney, who has furnished material and pic¬ tures for the Moores Hill History; to Dr. G. B. Franklin, chairman of the faculty committee on publication, for his continued aid and suggestions; to R. E. Colvin for pictures of Administration Hall; to K. K. Knecht of The Evansville Courier, for sketches of President Hughes and for pictures from The Courier files; to Neal Walden, LinC photographer; to H. B. Walton of the Burkert-Walton Printing Company, for his personal supervision of the work; to Dr. William H. Field for many river pictures; and Merrill Snethen for several drawings. The work of the LinC Army will not soon be forgotten by the staff, nor by the Junior Class, the publisher. The hearty support of trustees, faculty, student body, of the Evansville business men and other Evansville people, has been a cheer and comfort to us. —THE STAFF. R. E. OLMSTED - . Editor IRA G.

I go with Cubby and Perry sometimes.” “Some women in college get so interested in the cigarette-smoking monkey in the side show that they miss the main show entirely.”—Ex¬ cerpt from chapel speaker’s talk. KEEPING FIT is one of the most important problems we have to solve today, but many of our “out-of-condition” periods can be more or less traced to Improper Eating. Vegetarianism is not a fad. It is a great system of diet, based on scientific principles, and when adopted insures a clearness of mind and a restfulness of spirit, which makes for renewed strength and a fitness for life’s duties. It is full of promise for bettering the spiritual, physical and economic condition of both man and nations. A common expression of learned dieticians, “We Dig Our Graves With Our Teeth ' is only too true in many cases. Mr. Keppe says: An excessive meat diet, while producing in life’s first half extraordinary energy and restless ac¬ tivity, leaves the body a used-up shell after 45. It acts like a furnace with a forced draft. “All Work and No Play Makes Jack a Dull Boy And so even though our manner of eating is reasonably correct, we must have some form of recreation that carries with it a degree of activity which renders us fit for the coming day’s work.

STANDARD OIL CO. (indiana) Evansville, Indiana Do You Know What an Architect’s Decision Means? Recently the Architects were confronted with the task of selecting the BEST MATERIAL to support the roof tile and slab on the Evansville Col¬ lege Administration Building. After comparing thoroughly and for some time, the construction of four similar styles of reinforcing, SELF SENTERING was selected as the most perfect and best suited material. While this decision sold better than 16,000 sq. ft. of SELF SENTERING, what it really meant for us was SATISFACTION in knowing that we han¬ dle the BEST MATERIAL. This is only one out of 30 other items we han¬ dle which are just as good. See us when you need service on Reinforcing Bars, Metal Lath, etc. EVANSVILLE STRUCTURAL SUPPLY CO.
