DAVID BARTLETT HON. WILLIAM BUDGF. HON. A. J. GRONNA HON. GEORGE E TOWLE BOARD OF REGENTS Hniupraitg nf North Eaknta. HIE University of North Dakota was established by an act of the territorial legislature approved February 27th. 1883. Ground was broken May 25th, 1882, and the cornerstone of the present Main Building was laid with imposing cere- monies October 2nd of the same year. H011. .D. L. Kiehle, then Superintendent of Public Instruction for Minnesota, delivered the address, taking for his subject, HIntellect the Basis of Christian Civilization. Hon. N. G. Ordway, governor of the terrie tory, and many other distinguished guests were present. The original faculty consisted of Wm. M. Blackburn, D. D., president and professor of Mental and Moral Philosophy; Henry Montgomery, M. A., P. SQ, Ph. 13., professor of Natural Science; Webster Merrifleld, M. A., professor of Latin and Greek; and Mrs H. H. Mott, preceptress and teacher of English branches. The Main Building 11 The Unix Cl 'ity was first thrown open for the, reception of students Sept. 4th, 1884. During the first year, seventy-nine students were enrolled, mainly from Grand Forks and its immediate vicinity. In the absence Of any pupils of college grade during the fjrst year, the president taught classes in Algebra, Geometry and History and the professor of Natural Science taught classes in Grammar and English Literature in addition to the modicum of Natural Science offered in the preparatory department. Dr. Blackburn resigned the presidency at the Close of the hrst year to accept the presidency of a Presby- Davis Hall tcrian college at Pierre. S. D., and Prof. Montgomery served for two years 21:5 acting president. The second year, 1885-86, Professors H. B. W'oodworth and John Macuic were added to the teaching force, and Miss Jennie Allen, Budge Hall now principal of the Grand Forks High School, succeeded Mrs. Mott as pre- ceptress. The enrollment the second year fell to forty-eight, rising the third year to seventy-flve. By way of comparison with the present standards it may be interesting to note that, at the end of the third year, the preparatory department consisted of two Classes, junlor and senior. The work of the jun- ior ClaSS included Advanced Arithmetic, Algebra through fractions, Outlines Science Hall of U. S. History, Grammar and English Composition. The work of the senior year included three books of Plane Geometry, Algebra t0 Quadratics, two books of Caesaras Gallic War, and the hrst two Catilinian orations, together With a modicum of work in Physiology, Physical Geography, and General History. During the freshman year, Algebra was continued and Plane and Solid Geometry was completed. Latin was continued through three books of Virgil's Aeneid and selections from Livy. English was studied for two hours a week. Hart's Rhetoric being the basis of instruction, accompanied by the criucal reading of ttThe Lady of the LakeU and Chaucer's ttProlOgueU The French Grammar and Reader were studied for three hours a week. Ger- man was not begun until the sophomore year, nor Greek until the junior year, Of the seventy-hve students in attendance the third year, seven were Classihed as sophomores. eighteen as freshmen, eighteen as senior prepara- tory students, seventeen as junior preparatory, five as second-year normals and ten as Erst-year normals. In 1887, C01. Homer B. Sprague. Ph. D., a graduate of Yale and a former professor in Cornell University, was elected president and entered upon his duties with the opening of the fall term. During the Erst year of C014 Spraguek administration the attendance rose to ninety-eight, and the second year to one hundred ninety-nine. After nearly four years of service as president, C01. 13 Spragne resigned in March. 1891, andwas succeeded in the presidency by Professor W'ebster Merriheld, 1n the summer of 1887 a ladiest dormatory, now known as Davis 112111. was erected. L711 tn this time all nem-resident students had been aceonnnodated with board and lodging in the Main Building. In 1893 the building now known as the Cottage was erected for the accommodation of the male pre- paratory students, the young men of college grade being still lodged 011 the top Hour of the Main Building. T11 1895, Gov. Roger Allen vetoed the Lini- Versity appropriation and it looked for a time as if the institution would have m eloge its doors for at least two years. However, a movement was $0011 started, headed by Hon. XVm. Jmdge of Grand Forks, to raise a fund by popu- lar subscription for the maintenance of the University until the meeting of the, next Legislature. Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Budge and the generosity of the people of Grand Forks and 0f the state generally. the doors of the Univer- 9ity were kept open until the succeeding Legislature made an appropriation for its maintenance. The governofs veto, so far from killing the institution. as was at Erst feared. really brought to it the support and confldenee of the state as perhaps nothing else could have done. The University maintained a slow but steady growth, in spite of the crea- tion of several other state institutions of higher education and of two denom- inational colleges, until the passage of what is known as the twortifths mill law in 1899. Under the Operation of that law the income of the University has been far more liberal than it had been hitherto, and with increased means and 21 consequent rapid increase of the teaching force, buildings and equip- ment, the institution has enjoyed a very rapid growth. In 1890, Budge Hall and the present power house were erected and sixty acres of land adjoilr ing the University campus on the west, which had been donated to the state for the purpose of a state fair, were by act of'the Legislature turned over 10 the University, thus giving the institution a total campus area of eighty acres. Science Hall was erected in 1901 and the Mechanic Arts build- :11 llil 2:31:15 mm ::,,::11111Ii:s .55; i!:! 1 11' u: 3! UN I: E! 111111 V ing and the President's House in 1903. J11 1899 the Law School was estal , lished with temporary quarters in Grand Forks: and with H011 G. C. H. Cor- liss, recently Chief Justice of the State, as Dean. In IQOI the Colleges of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering were established, and the College of iXiining Engineering tthe State School of Minesa, provided for by the Cow stitution 0f the State, was first opened. At present the Faculty numbers eleven full professors, seven assistant professors, and eighteen instructors and lecturers, a total of thirty-six mem- bers of the teaching staff as against four in 1884. During the same time the student enrollment has increased from seventymine to almost an even hve hundred. The graduates number about two hundred fifty. The one man whose life has been more Chisely identified with the growth of the University than that of any other man, is Mr. William Budge. Vx'hen the existence of the University was threatened by the Governorts veto in 1895, Mr. hulge came to the rescue and raised sufficient funds by popular sub- eeription to tide the institution over until the state again assumed its support in 1997. In recognition of his great services to the University, a bill was passed by the last Iriegislature, and signed by the Governor, making Mr. Budge a life member of the hard of Trustees-wan hunor unparalleled in this country exceptiin the ease of John S Pillsbury, Whom the State, of Minnesota made, a life member of the University Board of that state. The University has thus far organized twelve distinct departments and offers more than one hundred fifty courses Of instruction. There are at pres- ent eight buildings on the Liniversity campus. The entire plant of the Uni- versity is valued at more than $325,000. The University has received from the Federal tkwernment 126,080 acres of land, of Which 19,763 acres have been sold at a net return of about $325,000. and 96,317 acres remain unsold. The entire net income of the Univermty for the present year is not far from $80: 000. It is estimated that the University lands will eventually yield not less than J52000,.000.

His boyhood days were spent in Indiana. At the age of twenty- one he received the M. A. degree from Har- vard College, Indiana, He then took up study for the Ministry. graduating from Princeton Seminary in 1854. After this he tilled vari- ous pulpits in eastern cities, and at the same time began to be known as a lecturer and an author. In 1862 he traveled in Europe in order to study church history, and in the next year became pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian church of Trenton, New Jersey. At this time he began the publication of various religious and historical works. He was given the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity by Princeton, and the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws by Worcester University. In 1868 he became Professor of Ecclesiastical and Church History in the Theological Seminary 0f the Northwest. Where his reputation became na- tional. After thirteen years of earnest work here he resigned, and soon after accepted the pastorate of the Central Presbyterian Church, Cincinnati, Ohio. In the summer of $44 Dr. Blackburn came to Dakota and spent the season at Devils Lake for his health. in the fall of that year he was offered the presidency of the Unie versity of North Dakota, which was at that time just ready to open its doors. He ac- cepted this position and served faithfully during the first year of our Universitys existence. The following; year Dr. Blackburn became president of the Presbyterian Synodical College, at Pierre, South Dakota After having filled this position for thirteen years, he resigned it on account of failing health, the same year in which the institution was re- moved to Huron. Dr. Blackburn was then chosen president emeritus with the chair of Mental, Moral and Political Sciences, and Geology. At the end of the first term of the collegiate year, 1898, he went to his home at Pierre, where death suddenly overtook him and he passed on to the great Beyond, on the eve of his seventieth birthday. The University is indeed highly favored to have had such a gifted and noted scholar as Dr. Blackburn connected with its early history. 16 HENRY MONTGOMERY, M. A., Ph. B. ceived his early education in the public schools of Ontario, and in Upper Can- ada College. From the latter institu- tion he went to the University of Toronto, Where he received the degree of B. A. in 1876 and that of M. A. in 1877, also receiving a scholarship and a medal in general science and winning highest honors in Geology, Miner- alogy and Biology He was also given the de- gree of B. S. by Victoria University. After graduation he became the Science Master of the Toronto City Collegiate Institute. He studied for three years in the Medical Department of Toronto University, of whose medical teaching staff he was for five years a member. He also studied for three months at Johns Hopkins University. In 1884 he entered upon his duties as Pryo- fessor of Natural Sciences and Vice President of the University of North Dakota, Where he labored assiduously for live years, and was, during two years of this time, acting Presi- dent of the institution. While connected with this University he explored the Black Hills extensively and made very valuable collections of minerals and fossils through- out the Dakotas. 111 1887, during a tornado Which partly destroyed the Main Building of the University, Professor Montgomery had the misfortune to lose a great many of the specimens Which he had collected. i In 1889 he resigned his chair here to accept a similar position in the New York State Normal and Training School at Cortland. He resigned from the Cortland Normal in 1890 to accept the position of Professor of Geology and Mineralogy, Curator of Museum, and Superintendent of the Mining Department in the University of Utah at Salt Lake City. While connected with this institution he traveled extensively over the Territory 010W Statei of Utah, carrying on a very profitable work of exploration and investiga- tion. In 1894 he resigned this position and returned to Toronto as head of the Depart- ment of Geology and Biology in the Trinity University, Where he is still situated. Besides his regular classroom and laboratory duties. Professor Montgomery has prepared numerous papers and lectures upon educational and scientific subjects which have had an extensive circulation. He has made a specialty of investigating the remains of prehistoric man upon this continent, especially in Utah and the Dakotas. His dis- coveries in this science and in paleontology have been favorably noticed by eminent scientists. Professor Montgomery has many friends throughout North Dakota who remember With appreciation his services at our University during the early years of its existence. PROFESSOR HENRY MONTGOMERY re- 17 HOMER B. SPRAGUE, Ph, D, Mass. He received his earlier educa- tion at Leicester Academy. From here he went to Yale, where he received his B. A. degree in 1852. After graduating from Yale he took up the study of law and later practiced law for a short time in Worcester. From 1856 to 1859 he held the position of Principal of the High School of Worcester, ree signing this position to take up the practice of law in New Haven. In 1861 he entered the Civil War as captain in Co. ttH, 13th Connecti- cut. Capt. Sprague was a gallant soldier, and was wounded in the fierce battle of Irish Bend, La., in t63, While leading his company into the thick of the fight. Before the end of the war he rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel. After the war Col. Sprague again took up educational work and held the position as head of several High Schools and Colleges, succes- sively. In 1885 he became president of the University and filled this position for four years. He was exceptionally well liked in his work here by all Who came in contact with him. Perhaps we can best show the esteem in which he was held, by quoting the following resolutions adopted by the board of trustees of the University at the time he resigned his position here:- hResolved, that, we accord to him tProf. Spraguet a great measure of praise for the present high position which the University has attained, and are impressed with the belief that his connection With this institution will be a bright page in its history for all time to come? Prof. Sprague has left his stamp on all the institutions With Which he has been connected. He was the founder of the first Slimmer school now in existence, located at Marthais Vineyard, Mass. He received an M. A. degree from the University of New York. His specialty has always been English Literature, and he has edited some of Shake- speareys plays, also Miltonis itParadise Lost,N for school and college use. He has also spent several years as a University Extension Lecturer, and is now lecturing on Milton, Shakespeare, Goldsmith, and the leading poets of the nineteenth century, and is editor of the department of Rhetoric of the Students Journal, New York City. His home is at present in Newton, Mass. l l OMER B. SPRAGUE was born in Sutton, 18 the third floor. Here various strange sounds and noises would greet their ears, to analyze 0r distinguish which but little time was given to the prep, for to rush him from the head of the stairs across the hall, open the door of the room from which came the wildest noises, thrust him in head Iirst, and slam the door again, was the work of but an instant for his masculine and skillful conductor The prep is now in the Bull Pen and his education has begun. To record oneetenth of the impressions produced on his mind and body here would require a whole Junior Annual. The reader must be content with one or two typi- cal incidents of the new students life, and may, if he likes, draw on his imagination for the rest. But from what follows it will be plainly seen how beautifully the theory of opposition of forces worked in practice and how lamentable it is that it has been abandoned in modern times. When the writer was an inmate of the Bull Pen, there was one student there who suffered from the not uncom- mon delusion that he was a great orator in embryo. In and out of season he would jump on one of the two big pine tables and harangue the crowd. At first his outbursts met with applause, but as they grew more and more frequent and Violent, sometimes occurring in the middle of the night, they came to be regarded as a public nuisance by the rest of us, and were, in fact, declared to be such, at a formal meet- ing of the inmates, with but one dissenting vote, that of the Victim of the delusion. To pass the resolution was easy enough; to abate the nuisance was a different matter. Argu- ment, persuasion, threats, corporal punishment, were all tried in vain. The case grew steadily worse. Now, what would the faculty, operating directly, have been able to do in this instance? We now set ourselves to study this case closely, and it was observed that the patient always jumped on one of the tables, never on the other. That table must be de- stroyed; and it was so decreed. Accordingly, the next time That gave us a hint as to the proper remedy. the ravings of our poor companion disturbed our slumbers we all jumped out of bed. and rushing simultaneously to- ward the table, precipitated ourselves upon it with all our combined forces, and smashed it to pieces, the orator tumbling down, like a defeated politician, amid the ruins 219 H 570:1; in Rnceiovs. 1 - w K Peel: Ah: 1 l .0 i Ikeg Chem I.

OW it came to pass, in the eth year of Merriiield the King, that there arose a tribe N gathered from the four quarters of the earth to learn wisdom in the courts of the King. From the green homesteads of Indiana, the red cliffs of New York and the hawthorne hedges 9f the land of Hovi they came. They were led by heroes land the descendants of gods. The bright son of Ingar, from the land of Minnehaha was there, and a.great hard, the son of Skuli, sang the songs of Kella, the daughter of the mighty 0g. And in the forefront of every battle stood he from the land of Erin, whose name in the German tongue meaneth ttburning for his fiery spirit was unquenchable save by Death. And great was the fame of this tribe, and much was it envied because of the exceed- ing great store of grey matter it possessed; its women also were tall and fair and its men were men of valor, mighty in word and deed. Did not the men of the south bow their heads in defeat before the debaters from this tribe? And in Per Gradus, or Adelphi, or student election 01' in football there was none who could stand before them. And it came to pass, in the third year of their sojourn at the Varsity that the Elders, noting their great achievements, gave them more worlds to conquer by enlarging the course of study, so that more freedom in study was given them and mightier things were accomplished. And it came to pass, that nearly all did extra work, and iinished the Normal as well as the Academic Course, so that they afterwards became instructors of the youth of the land. But, ere this, certain sons of Belial, envious of the honors likely to be won by these heroes, and fearing for their own laurels when these had come forth from the courts of the King, took counsel with certain of the lawmakers and said: tiGo to, now. Let us squelch these aspirants after knowledge, for they have the swell head already and if education be too widely diffused, verily, our occupation will be gone. And they spake to the Kings Treasurer, saying: ttPay no more money to those of the Varsity. Thus shall its doors be closedfl And it was so. But behold, the people arose and said: itIt shall not bej, and they brought every man his piece of money; and the teachers also said, tiWe will teach for less, that the school be not Closed? And 10, there had never been such a pros- perous year in the history of the Varsity. And the 95ers finished their work and were given scrolls, in token of all they had accomplished.

Nuessle from his Emerado farm, of J. E. Davis from the rolling prairies of Wells County, of G. L. Bickford from the paternal roof at Kempton, and L. J. Wehe from General Standishis school at Bartlett marked the beginnings of the Class. Soon came George A. McDonald from Forest River. ostensibly to study, but really to work up a foot-race. And in 1894 Fred S. Duggan entered the preparatory department in his knee breeches. And thus it was that while still ttprepst, the class was already strong. The freshman year saw the class continue to grow. Then it was that J. Neal Dow and Charles Anderson arrived with'theiir high school diplomas from Grand Forks, and then too it was that Miss Flora McDonald of Grafton brushed past the registrar and signed the class role. There was profound rejoicing, for at last there was a girl in the class, a real girl. In every line of college life the 99s were active. We find J. E. Davis, better known as ttElsiej, captain of the football team and for several years playing end and making a reputation that lasts to this day. Will Nuessle played tackle, and later he, too, bore the title of Hcamp. Bickford was fullback, and Wehe was a guard, and these four for several years were the backbone of teams that walloped the ttAggies. At this same time we find Duggan shortstop of the ball team and Bickford baseman in teams that won amateur championships. 1n track events McDonald had the speed events in his vest pocket. Debates were not in Vogue, but in oratory the Class distinguished itself by winning contest as Juniors in the person of J. F. MeLain who joined the Class that year, and again as Seniors through the efforts of Fred S. Duggan. Duggan woh further honors in the state contest, but got thumped by the stump speakers from South Dakota in the inter- state. As a college class, they were modelseif the term is ever permissible in that connec- tion. It must be conceded, however, that the ,99's did not always leave the Saturday even- ing receptions promptly upon the ringing of the 10:15 hell, or the haunting of the tiragf nor did they even refuse to participate in the stretching of the janitor, if that were the passing amusement; or such other little harmless jokes as often occur to even the most dutiful. Nevertheless the class was a model class: to that Dr. Thomas will testify. The class had class pins of which they are proud, the first Class pins at the U. But the class claims one distinction of importance. They wore caps and gowns at commence- ment, inaugurating a custom which has since become a permanent feature of graduations. Since graduation they have continued as active as they ever promised. We find Bick- ford a banker at Bowbells, McDonald a farmer and traveler, VVehe a lawyer practicing in Grand Forks, Nuessle a law graduate and instructor and later a partner of his classmate Davis in real estate and law in Ward County, Duggan a member of the 1903 Law class of the University, McLain County Superintendent of Grand Forks County, Anderson chief clerk in the Great Northern Railway Co. division office, Dow in the hotel business in Muncie, 1nd,, and last but nnt least the class girl as preceptress of the Industrial School at Ellendale, and trying hard to look it. 'I -1 Nnrmal 0112155 nf iHH. . N looking over the facts concerning the class of '99, we find that none can claim North Dakota as a native state. It has represented among its members a great many na- tionalities, Scotch, Irish, English, Scandinavian, and German, and a number of Canadian birth. The great majority are, at present, engaged in teaching, but several have already deserted our ranks, one of Whom is Bertha Zimmerman. Bertha Zimmerman was born in Titusville, Penn, October 29, 1875. Since graduation .she has been teaching in the vicinity of Cooperstown, her home town. In October, 1902, she was married to Andrew Sinclair, a bank cashier in Courtenay, N. D. One of our members is filling the position of County superintendent for a second term. Clara Pauline Feiring of Cooperstown, North Dakota, was born at Pigeon Falls, Wisconsin, June 1, 1877. Bertha Ferguson, the class poet of 199, is at present an instructor in the schools of her home town of Drayton. She is of Scotch-Irish descent, and was born in Ross, Ontario. Miss Ferguson was the successful competitor for the Clark prize, and is a regular eon- tributor to a leading educational paper of this state. Another member from Pembina County is Bessie Douglas. Her birthplace is Hamil- ton, Ontario. She has been employed as teacher in the Inkster and Bathgate schools. One of her coworkers is Clara Olsen, another member of the class. Miss Olsents home is Fisher, Minnesota. W. L. A. Calder was born in Ottawa, Ontario, April 12, 1875. Since graduation he has been teaching with great success in the Manvel school. At Christmas, 1900, he mar- ried Miss Louise McDonald, she being the iirst lady tor little girh with whom he became acquainted in North Dakota. The other young man of the class is Henry Ulve. He was principal of the Buxton schools, but is at present at Forman. Jean Forster was with us during the last two years of our course. She was born in Ontario, July 27, 1877. After her graduation, she taught in Grandin, N. D., until her marriage to Mr. Andrew Morrison 0f the University on June 25, 1902. Ella J. Burnham is at present teaching in the Marcy School of Minneapolis. Her American ancestry is of pure English descent, and 0f Puritan stock. For the two years following her graduation she was engaged as teacher in the fifth grade in Hillsboro, N. D. After a short course With the Thomas School of Music, Detroit, Mich, she accepted a posi- tion as teacher of music and assistant in the High School of Dickinson, N. D. The fol- lowing year she was engaged in the Minneapolis Schools. Miss Otteson represents us in McIntosh, Minn. Lena Otteson was born on a farm in Dane County, Wis., October 24, 1862, the daughter of a veteran soldier of the Civil War. Since her graduation she has been successful in her chosen work of teaching, and has commanded good positions. Ruby Rutledge, new teaching in Cando, was born at Rose Creek, Minn, April 5, 1879. She was sent as a delegate from the University to the State Oratorical Contest held at Wahpeton, in 1899. Anna Campbell Was born August 20, 1878, in the state of Illinois. She has proved very successful in Grammar school work in the Cando schools. One more name will make our class r011 complete. Emma I. Weiss was born in Mower County, Minn, June 20, 1878, of German parents. Since her graduation, with the exception of one year, during which she taught in a district school, and in the Inkster iprimary department, she has been employed in the school of her home town, Crystal, N.

They chose I to be iinaughtyf they were the first in the history of the institution to write a class play and act it on Class Night. Brief sketches of the individuals might be of interest. MARGARET CRAVATII was born and bred at Audubon, Minn. She was class president during her first three college years, and was one of the Commencement speakers. Her delight was tutoring delinquents in Mathematics. Since graduation she has been the assistant principal in the Minto School. JAMES DOUGLAS was born in Ontario. In his Senior year he represented the Uni- versity in the Inter-state Oratoricai contest. His favorite pastime was hobnobbing with the President about the practical application of the Maithusian Doctrine. Mr. Douglas is now a Senior in the University of Washington Law School. C. LAVERNE FAIRCHILD says he was born and bred in the newspaper business. At the tender age of six, he was writing locals for his fathers paper. He is now principal of the Arvilla School. MARION GREEN was born in the State of Massachusetts. She is the only real Yankee in the class. Miss Green has always been an enthusiastic admirer of athletics, especially football. NEIL C. MACDONALD is a Scotch-Canadian by birth. During his stay at college, he showed himself an apt scholar in Norwegian and a warm admirer of the French. After his graduation, he was elected Superintendent of Schools for his county. SADTE MATHEWS was born at Newburg-on-the-Hudson, New York. Her remarkable success as a student, may in a measure be attributed to the fact that during most of her college career, she was the president of The Young Ladiesi Anti-spooning Club. Since graduation, she has been the assistant principal of the Minot High School. ANDREW MORRISOX is a native of Minnesota. He was elected class president in his Senior year, and was one of the speakers at Commencement. Since graduation, he has been employed at the University as Registrar. Last June, Mr. Morrison married Miss Jean Forster of the class of 99. MRs. ISABELLA J. MUIR tnee Miss Lemkei was born in Minnesota. For many years her home was near Cando, N. D. To Mr. R. T. Muir, iOZ, we give the credit of cgnverting this member of the iiAnti-Spooning Club. GUNNAR OLGIERSON is a native of Iceland. For two years after graduation, he was principal of the Thompson School; at present he is a member of the Junior Law Class. JOHN R. SELBY was born in a claim shanty near Mayville.

At present Mr. Smith is a student in the Electrical Engineering Department of the University of Minnesota. KATE M. WILKINSON distinguished herself as a student of literature. The first year after graduation she taught at Dickinson, N. D. Now she is employed in the Land Office at Minot, N. D. ' 61 Eh? Nnrmal Elam? nf 1mm. HE Normal Class of 1900 can not be said to have had an existence previous to the I fall of 1899. The reason is easily explained. The Normal Department did not have as many students as the Academic. The two departments had many recita- tions in common, while the students themselves walked, talked, studied, and had their friendships almost regardless of class distinction. If a difference did occur, it was more often due to department feeling than to class feeling. Prior to 1899, as each new Senior class became the center of interest, although the Academics generously allowed the Normals to join with them, some disquiet disturbed the peace of under-graduate years. Early in their life at the University, the Normal Class of 1900 felt keenly the situa- tion. Although small in numbers it resolved to begin a new epoch, to form a class of its: own, separate from every other department. A meeting was called, composed of the fol- lowing members; Messrs. Aleiek Haroldson, Ralph J. Rudser, Guy V. Rukke, S. Steen- berg, and Misses Elsie D. Burr, Laura J. Bride, Lulu E. Byrne, Etta Greenberg, Mary F. McAndrew, Helen Schell, Severina Thompson, and Clara Wallace. The class ofhcers chosen were Miss Wallace, President; Miss McAndrew, Vice-President; Miss Bride, Sec-r retary and Treasurer. Never was class more harmonious. Each member was anxious for the welfare of every other one and for the class as a Whole. A yell, colors, and class pin were at once chosen, while every possible opportunity for class fun was taken, each member being eager to advance the Normal Department. In the spring, the Senior Academics kindly invited the Senior Normals to join with them in the exercises of class week, which invitation was gladly accepted. The Bacca- laureate Sermon, Class Day, Reception, Banquets, and Commencement Day were equally shared and enjoyed by all. As this seems to have been a year of innovations, three new features of the last week should be mentioned. President Merrifield gave his first June Promenade Reception. The different Junior classes gave separate banquets to the Seniors, and the combined Senior classes wrote an original play, a travesty on University life, which was given on Class Night. The Normal Class was fairly represented all the week. Perhaps the most prominent. part was taken by Miss Bride, who was chosen class poet and later won the Clarke prize; for the best Commencement oration; ' After graduation, the majority of the Normal Class followed the profession for which they had titted themselves, teaching. Three, Misses Bride, Byrne and Greenberg, ac- cepted positions in Grand Forks, the latter two still remaining there. After one year, Miss Bride taught in XVatsonVilie, California, and in June, 1902, was married to Mr. P. A. Arano, of that place. Miss Burr still holds the position in her home school at Bottineau, which she accepted upon graduation. , Mr. Ha'roidson is Assistant Superintendent of Sch001s for GrandTForks County. Miss MoANnREw and Mr. Steenberg remained at the University, receiving their B. A. degrees in June, 1902. MR. RUDSER is Principal of the Aneta Public Schools. Miss SCHELL and Miss Thompson are both teaching; the former at Northwood, and the latter at Thompson. Miss WALLACE taught for two years and in September, 1902, was married to Mr. H. A. Thexton of Minneapolis. MR. RUKKE is studyingr medicine at Ann Arbor, Michigan. 62 rzncmgwmt-n H 0'4: GROUP VI. N. 'C. McDonald H. M. Schell C. V 'J'hexton R. J. Rudser Elsie U.

We were proud to number upon our class-roll twenty-five fullfledged freshmen, the largest class yet started by the U. N. D Several of the class had completed their preparatory work at the University, and it was during the spring term of their tiFirst Prep? year that the first and original elass-tree was planted. It was one after- noon in early spring the class carried the tree across the campus and planted it a little to the southeast of Davis Hall. There the members of the class, encircling the tree, with the aid of Prof. Estes, dedicated it, with most appropriate ceremonies, t0 the class of 1901 and named it Faith, Hope and Charitytl for the three largest branches which it bore. Many stirring class meetings were held during the freshman year, conducted always by our class president, Lynn J. Frazier. The fall of ,98 returned most of our class to the U. N. D., no longer green and awkward Freshmen, but polished and self assured Sophomores. Miss Edith Johnson was chosen president of the class. We had read of SophomoreaFreshmen hazing, but we, adopting other tactics, established an institution of good will which has ever since been followed by succeeding classes, the Sophomore-Freshmen banquet. The skyaparlor of Davis Hall, decorated with class colors, was a brilliant scene as the two classes gathered together to play games, and later to partake of the carefully prepared banquet. That was the fatal moment when we apprehended the circumstances and realized that the juniors had stolen and eaten our ice cream. With all the chagrin of hostesses we returned to eat cake and coffee with our guests. As Juniors we were usually well-behaved, thot to be good was hard, from our natural tendency to be naughty ones COD. Joseph J. Flanagan was our honored president, and under his reign the class colors were changed to blue and brown. It was our privilege to entertain at the Junior Banquet, our worthy seniors, the class of 1900. The honors and privileges of Seniors were so delightful, caps and gowns, class pins, pictures, parties all so enjoyable. W. E. Burgett was class president. As speakers to represent the college class at Commencement, the faculty chose Miss Edith Johnson, Messrs. A. L. McDonald, and S. G. Skulason. The dreams of years came and went in Commencement week, the music, iiowers, pretty dresses, banquets and the last, that precious roll of sheep-skin, the diploma. As a class we were proud of our three foot- ball players, Capt. L. J. Frazier, quarter-back, S. G. Skulason, and best of all players, full-back, J. J. Flanagan. At present the members of the class are located as indicated belowzi E. LJLLlAN BOXES makes her home with her mother on Walnut Street, Grand Forks, N. Dak. W. E.

HE appearance of the subject of our history was no accident, but another exempli- l fication of the trite teaching that when there is work to be performed, a workman will ever be found. The necessity for such a class was becoming painfully appar- ent; the world was beginning to wobble, and grind most outrageously on its old axiseno question about that! What could be done to stop the wobble and reduce the friction? The authorities pondered the question and finally decided that the only adequate remedy would be the appearance of the subject of this sketch. Thus, in the year of 1901, they were ushered into the world. Their history is here written that future generations may study and strive to emulate them, and thereby grow in virtue and wisdom. tTie who works and waits can have what he willf, The subject of this sketch did both. That they, at times, waited first and worked afterwards will never diminish their merit or dim the luster of their name. The maximum results with the minimum of labor was ever their motto. But literal compliance With an iron-bound rule is unusual and often undesirable. Compromise, then, is the wisest course: ithalf a loaf is better than no bread? And in order to save the latter and more popular part of the afore- said maxim, they decided to abandon the former portion and to revise it to read: nThe minimum of laborelet the results be such as fortune and favor may determinef Their religion was diversified but sincere. Some made it a point to attend all the religious services of every kind held in the pious city of Grand Forks. Personal priva- tions and Blackstoneis utter undoing had no power to diminish or cool their ardor. 0th- ers, whose religious professions were less positive, patronized the slot machines in pref- erence to the collection box, attended no church, but might be found at the theater or the ball game when wanted. Yet others of the class, more far-seeing and broad-minded than their fellows, and realizing that they could not hope to attend all the churches, refused to attend any-eavoiding thus the imputation of bias or prejudice-a most unjudicial weakness and unworthy of one who, in time, aspires to become the Hon. Mr. Blank, J. P., in and for the county of Utopia. In politics a large majority of the class leaned toward that beautiful and business like theory that this country can tax itself rich and these were ever ready to ttbenevolent- lytt assimilate those who disagreed with them. A small but devoted following worshipped at the shrine of the ttBond Issue Statesman? and a very limited but high-toned minority party strenuously opposed the Crucifixion of mankind on a cross of gold. The principal amusements of the class consisted in religious and political discussions carried on amicably at times, otherwise when necessity arose. The overshadowing sport. ing event of the class history was a match game of baseball that was never played. The class challenged the faculty but the ttProfs. backed out because of that well known rule of athletic contests that each of the contracting parties shall pay his own hospital and funeral expenses. The ttProfstt evidently reckoned that it would be their funeral; thus the class won the game and the faculty was spared for the time. 66 GROI'P VII. 1 Robert J Muir 2 Annie Blades 3 Delia IL Wehe 4 J.

HE class of 1902 was first organized in the fall of 1898 with eighteen members and the following officers: President . . . . . . . . . . . . FRANK VOBAYDA Vice-President . . . . . . . . . . . HARRY FRANCIS Secretary . . . CLARA WALLACE In the fall of 1899, several of the members failed to return. Some entered the Norm- al department and some continued their work at other institutions. This year the class elected Robert T. Muir, president; Katrine C. Belanger, secretary, and Hamilton Rinde, treasurer, and these officers continued throughout the course. In the Junior year, the class again lost several of its members, but also gained some. Frank Vobayda enlisted with the U. S. army in the Philippines, and was afterwards killed at the massacre at Luzon. Donald MacDonald entered West Point, and Paul F'retz en- tered the Naval Academy at Annapolis. The new members were, Mary F. MeAndrew, Delia Wehe, and S. Steenberg. There were now ten JuniorseKatrine C. Beltanger, Leroy F. Jackson, William F. Lemke, Mary F. McAndrew, Robert T. Muir, Hamilton Rinde, Maude St Sanford, Eleanor O. Smith, Sigbjorn Steenberg, and Delia Wehe. In the Senior year the class was enlarged to eleven members by the addition of Thomas Jewell. The class graduated June 19, 1902. Class night exercises were held on the evening of June 17th, at which Maude Sanford acted as Valedictorian and Wm. Lemke, as Class Philosopher. During the four years, every phase of college activity was actively represented by the various members of the class 01' 1902; athletics, military work, oratory, debate, music, and journalism. Hamilton Rinde, Thomas Jewell, and William Lemke most ably represented the University in athletics, Mr. Lemke being during his last year, captain of the football team. Leroy F. Jackson and S. Steenberg were successful in our oratorical contests. Katrine Belanger, W. F. Lemke, and Mary McAndrew gained several victories for A. D. T. by their excellence in debate. Robert T. Muir was most successful in military Work. Maude Sanford was literary editor of The Student for two years. Mary Mc- Andrew was editor-in-chief of The Student during her Senior year. The class of 1902 has not been struggling with the world a year, and yet it has al- ready to mourn the loss of one of its worthiest members, S, Steenberg, who died Easter Sunday, April twelfth, of typhoid fever in Red Wing, Minnesota, where he was then teaching. He was a native of Fiekkesfjord, Norway, and was twenty-nine years of age. He came to this country several years ago, and through his own efforts secured an excellent education. After graduation, he was for some time city editor of The Plain- dealer and an unsuccessful candidate for the offlce of Superintendent of Schools in Walsh County. The members of the Class are now located as follows: LEROY F. JACKSON . . Harvey, N. Dak. THOMAS JEWELL . .DeVils Lake, N. Dak. WM. F. LEMKE. . . Law Dept, U. N. D. MAUDE SANFORD . . . Minto, N. Dak.

Her home is in East Grand Forks, Minnesota. She graduated from the Grand Forks High School in 1901 and entered the University the same fall.

D., has by his record fully demonstrated that he will become one of the foremost criminal lawyers of this country. Ego scorns the petty squabbles of the college political world. He has marked sympathy for the pedestrians of the Turtle Mountains, and yet he is anxious to have it understood that he does not hail from that part of the country. SKULI G. SKULA s0N. Born in Canada, educated in the United States. Took preparatory and college courses at the U. N. D. As quar- ter-biack in many Victorious football games, he won the name of nJack the Giant Killer?! Was prominent in debate, oratory and society, While taking academic course. He has announced his intention of becoming at least a United States Congressman. F. S. DUGGAN. Mr. Duggan was born and raised in Grand Forks, N. D., a graduate of our State University. He is universal- ly recognized as the goodelooking man of our class, and the only ladies, man among us. He has, however, de- cided not to marry, for he is an eminently fairminded man and to make a choice, he holds, would require a showing of partiaiity Which he seems. He will spend the major portion of his time in establishing the fact that he is correct, When he does.not agree with the weight of authority, for Duggan has the courage of his convictions. .L G. JOHNSON. Mrt Johnson comes from Milton, N. D, We have picked him out as a specialist in all legal matters per- taining t0 railroads. He has already earned fame in moot court as an aggressiVe trial lawyer. We expect great things of Johnson, for, if he can keep from falling in love, he Will make his mark in the world. 86 D. W. NESFSY. Born November 6, 1869, at Gaiesvilie, Wis. Moved with his folks to Stonewall, Texas, in 1875, and in 1885 immigrated to Northern Wyoming, residing there until coming to North Dakota in 1896. STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA, COUNTY OF GRAND FORKS-SS. D. W. Nesfsy, being first duly sworn, deposes and says, that the above is a true autobiography, except as to matters therein stated on information and belief, and as to those he believes it to be true. D. J. MCLENNAN. Mr. McLennran, the plucky little Scotchman, hails from the town of Marshall, Minn., having taken his first year of law in the U. of Minn. He is very fleet of foot, but, true to the spirit and reputation of his race, refuses to run from any man the twice his size, except at track meets-so says our honored Secretary, Andrew A. Bruce MART 1 N SCBAMSTAD. Mr, Seramstad comes from Fergus Falls, Minn. We must place him in the same class as Wright, Bascom and Hail for Cupid overpowered him all of a sudden last year, and he was married forthwith. We admire him for his peaceful disposition and ability to take things as they come Without any excitement or worry. He seldom smiles and never laughs, never talks except when it is necessary, and moves With a mathematical precision. Ji E. MESSEKSMITH. Dickinson is Messersmitirs home. He is a former University boy. Having spent one year at the U. of Minn., he returned to us to 1inish his legal education. With him he brought a native of Breckenridge, whose photo appears farther on. The firm of Smith 8: Messer- smith has already gained considerable notoriety, and we are confident that their fame will grow as the years r011 by. 87 H. A. BERGMAN. Mr. Bergman, of Giardar, N. D., is a graduate of Luther College, Decorah, Iowa. We have almost for- given him the sin he committed, when he strayed out of his own state for his preliminary education. We like him, but we would have known him better and liked him more had he graduated from the U. N. D. Bergman is afraid of girls, which he would not be had he graduated from our own nU? Moral: Take your education in your own state in a coeducational institution; E. 0. HARALDSON. Mr. Haraldson comes from Northwood, N. D. For many reasons he is our favorite. On the football team he is a tower of strength. Many a tenderfoot has thanked his lucky stars for a place of safety, and hid behind him, When a fight seemed imminent on the grid- iron. If ever you get into trouble, go to Haraldson; for he is the best natured man who ever lived, and his schemes and resources are as innumerable as the girls he has on the brain. C. D. WRIGHT. Mr. Wright, our honored class president, comes from Wynmere, N. D. Mr. Wright takes great delight in be- ing quizzed, especially in Criminal Law. He has shown marked ability as a politician. As one of the married men of the class he has our sympathy. He is our patri- arch, our wise man and guide in times of class trouble. He often gets tired of our boyish pranks and summarily adjourns class meetings. nHe is the only man that Bas- com cannot overrule on points of parliamentary law? E. A. SMITH. As stated above, this specimen of the genus homo comes from the town of Breckenridge, Minn. Smith does not believe in moving unless he absolutely has to. He makes haste slowly, but is always there in time, a very good way; When pitching he often waits the batter out instead of the batter waiting him out. He is one of our handsome boys, as the cut shows. 88 H. T. BASCOM. Mr. Batscom is a graduate of the Law School of High- land Park, Iowa, a member rat the firm of Hartzell 8: Bascom, of Langdon, N. D. ,Though he is married we count him one of the buys, a jolly good fellow. His high- est ambition is to re-cast all existing parliamentary rules, and evolve a complete set of his own. H. L. HARTZVVELL. Mr. Hartzwell, 0f L'angdon, N. D., is a graduate of Highland Park, Iowa. He was originally captured in the lowlands of Abyssinia and brought to this country. Since then there has been a complete transformation in him. He is now one of our brightest and best behaved students. There is so little left now of this matted hair which the picture shows and which formerly gave him a wild appearance, that we may well apply the principle, ttDe minimis non cu'rat lemf J. B. HALL. Mr. Hall comes to us from Millford, Iowa, where he spent his early school days. He, like Baseom, Scram- stad and Wright, is a nBenedict, but we like him all the same, for he mingles with us nyoungsters, in spite of his added responsibilities. He has a great aim in life, namely, to make the Iowa Code the World Code. At that he Will work with ceaseless energy and indomitable courage. M. J. COGIILAN. Mr. Coghlan comes from our Wild western country in the vicinity of St. John, where the savage Red Men still roam the prairie. This genial son of Erin is a favorite among the Red Men, and it is rumored that he is getting tired here in our midst and yearns for the free west, the tepee and all the native pleasures of a pioneer country. We will keep him as long as we can, for he is good com- pany. C. M. PARSONS. Mr. Parsons comes from Lidgerwood, N, D. We call him ttJudgeii because of his fairness, impartiality, and sedate, dignified bearing. About the hardest problem he has solved is what to buy for Xmas presents. We have decided to put him on the Supreme Bench, being cer- tain that there will still at that time be some mooted questions for his clear mind to elucidate. 89 Eluninra. Glam? Obiiirrra.

Waring nf the Ahrlphi. organized at the beginning of the first winter term by a number of young men for the purpose of literary work and training in public speaking. Programs con- sisting of music, declamations, papers, and debates were given at each regular weekly meeting, while once a year an open meeting was held which soon became one of the features of the years amusements. The third year the young ladies were admitted, and by this addition the society was greatly improved both socially and intellectually. In 1893 a further change was made, the members who were preparatory students withdrawing to form the Per Gradus, and those of. college rank remaining as the Adelphi. From its very beginning the Adelphi supplied many wants which existed when our institution was yet in its infancy. It maintained a reading room, edited a college paper, and even organized from among its members a Glee Club Although born under great difficulties all its. enterprises succeeded, grew, and broadened, until now it is a. great pleasure for old Adelphians to see how the beginnings which they struggled with have blossomed. The magazine which was first published in the society was such a success that it has been gradually enlarged and improved, until now it is our college paper, nThe Student, which is such an important factor in our college life. The Glee Club also has had many worthy successors, in the last of Which we are almost as well represented as we were in the first. But if Adelphi was an important factor in the life of our institution at that early time it is doubly so now. It has participated in many inter-society debates, has furnished six representatives for inter-collegiate debates, and is preparing, by the training afforded from participation in the programs, young men and women who win in our oratorical contests, and who stand high among their fellow students in scholarship and success in after life. At present there are forty members, all of college rank. The regular meetings are heid once a week in Chapel Hall, and are interspersed by social events which always prove enjoyable. A paper is published, known as the iiAdelphi Oracle? This is strictly a society publication, the copies of which are kept on file with the Secretary. Our color is red, and on important occasions a beautiful crimson banner is displayed, bearing the inscription iiAdelphifi How vital a part of at students life Adelphi is, none but an Adelphian can know. Suhice it to say that the results of its work are not measured alone by the number of debaters or orators it produces. Results far more lasting than these are found in the hearty spirit of co-operation and fellowship which unites its members and encourages them to strive most earnestly to attain the greatest and noblest ends. 3 DELPHI, the oldest literary society, began its life with the University. It was 112 hiaturg nf the A. E. E. HILE Adelphi and Per Gradus were quietly slumbering in contentment, each without opposition in its own field, the one being open to college, the other to preparatory students, there sprang up in their midst a sister society, the A. D. T. Just as it is both natural and human for an elder sister to dislike her infant sister when she first makes her appearance in the home, because she fears that her motheris love will all be given to the new-comer, while she will be left out in the cold, so it may be said that these two societies. at first, viewed their new sister with disfavor and apprehension, because they feared that there was not room enough in the heart of the institution for all. But it usually happens that the elder sister presently discovers that her motheris affection is large enough for both, and she therefore begins to love the little stranger and is glad to have her stay. In much the same way, when these two societies found that there was room enough in the University for them all, there grew up a mutual friendship which has existed ever since. The success of this new society has been phenomenal from the very beginning. It has become known for its literary, social, and musical talent. The chief object that Professor Squires had in view when he suggested the forma- tion of the new society, was to arouse the dormant debating spirit of the institution. This object has been fully realized. There is to-day a healthy rivalry between the different societies, a competition which, but for the birth of the A. D. T., would, most probably, not have existed. Shortly after the organization of the new society, the Adelphi was invited to a joint debate. The invitation was accepted; and, after a. close contest, the judges rendered a decision in favor of the Adelphi. This, the first inter- society debate since 1890, and the second in the history of the University, was closely followed by others. Of all the inter-society debates participated in by the A. D. T., it has so far won five and lost three. These contests soon aroused so much enthusiasm that it could no longer be confined within the walls of the institution. The direct result was the intercollegiate debates. Of the twelve debaters chosen to represent the Univer- sity in these contests, the A. D. T. has furnished foul: Besides its literary achievement this society has become prominent for its social functions. It is its custom to give an entertainment each year. Last year a garden party was given which was pronounced, by all, an unqualified success. The meetings of this society are held every Monday evening in the parlor of Davis Hall, which is, undoubtedly, the best place for literary meetings in the University. Its membership is limited to fifteen young men and fifteen young ladies of college rank. The program consists of music, debates, toasts, and recitations. 113 .bumuom 5:233 .H .Q Aw Q 0 Q Gbmwra.

This is certainly proper and fitting. There are records which show that an organization existed in one shape and another ever since the cpening of the law school. It had no regular meetings, officers, or constitution, and, indeed, it had no name until it was called by its erstwhile members, The Seven Devils? a name chosen solely for its euphony. The first recurd of any of its meetings is dated December 13th, 1900, and over the pages of succeeding records we find the names of such now distinguished lawyers as W. L. Nuessie, F. 1. Lyon. P. G. Johnson, L. J. Wehe and I. C. Davies. It was not until June 11th, 1902, that the present Forum was formally organized by the adoption of a constitution and bylaws and the election of oiiicers. Like Arthur 0f the Round Table, the Forum was horn on a stormy night, which is well within the memory of many of those who cannot recollect the Big Wind. Its first officers were: President, Charles S. Ego; Vice-president, Fred S. Duggan; secretary, Martin Screamstad; and sergeant-at-arms, D. W. Nefsy. The society is now well launched on its hrst yearis active work, has a membership of forty, and holds hi-weekly meetings which are characterized by a liveiiness and in- terest that shows that the society has before it a long and useful career. During its history the Forum participated in four debates with other societies of the University. In 1901 Messrs. Coulter, Carr and Johnson represented the society in debates with Adelphi and A. D. T., and succeeded in winning both events. This at once put the society on equal footing with the other older societies of the University. In 1902 the team chosen to represent the Forum in debate consisted of Homer Resier, S. G. Skulason and Fred S. Duggan. The debate was with A. D. T., and the judges decision was two to one in favor of the latter society. Though the team failed to win, one of its members was chosen a member of the team that represented the University, and succeeded in winning the hrst of the series of annual debates with the University of Manitoba, held at Winnipeg in March. During the present year the representatives of the Forum in debate were R. A. Nestos, E. Claude Carney and A. Armstrong. The debate was with Adelphi, and again the decision went against the Forum by a divided vote, but two of the Forum debaters, R. A. Nestos and E. Claude Carney were chosen as two of the team representing the University in the annual debate with South Dakota The society is now thoroughly organized and in a iiourishing condition, and is one of the important features of work in the law department. A history of the Forum would not be complete without a reference to the well known meeting held in the spring of 1902, which is commonly called the itDead Lock Session. This meeting was called at 10 a. m. in the law school rooms to act upon an invitation The discussion waxed so warm that no member present thought of eating and the session ended in the middle of the afternoon only upon the announcement that the event had been postponed indefinitely. This five hour discussion of a point of etiquette serves to illustrate the strenuousness 0f the meetings of the Forum. 118 Qiatnrg uf iHPr Litrathua. N the winter of 1887, hack in these good old days when the material aspect of the I University presented but one building, which served as dormitory, museum and laboratory, besides providing class rooms, eflices, library and carpenter shopehack in the goorf old days of kerosene lamps and hot air registersePer Gradus was born Two societies had already been formed, the Adelphi, and the Normal. But it was decided that the University had arrived at that age of restless indiseretion when it seemed proper to organize one more society to provide an outlet for the superabundant energy and enthusiasm of the undergraduate body. The project was felt to be one of great moment, and faculty as well as students became deeply interested in it. After due and solemn deliberation the matter took form in a society, chiehy for debating purposes, and to be composed of boys of any class or age. One of the first and most important questions was the naming of the society. Presie dent Sprague and others, under the languid influence of old Hellenic Culture, suggested the name ttPhilomathean. But the stern mistress of the world, Rome, had also her admirers among the organizers of the society, and these, inspired by the genius of progress, proposed the nameiPer Gradus. This struggle over the name was the history of Greece and Rome repeating itself. It was a Contest between Grecian glamour and sturdy Roman strength, and Rome; as of old, was Victorious. In 1893, a new epoch in the history of Per Gradus begins. Henceforth it is no longer a society among other societies, but stands out from the rest as the society upon which the others are to deDend, out of which their members are to come. In this year Per Gradus was reorganized, and made a preparatory society. There had been a yearning in the hearts of the nobie-minded and progressive Per Gradians for the elevating inhuence wrought by woman, and not begrudging their sisters the opportunity of training in the line of debate and public speaking, the pre- paratory girls were at this time admitted to participate in the benefits of Per Gradus. Ten years have passed since then, and still we hnd Per Gradus alive, active and progressive. In the fall of 1901, a society pin was adopted which is now worn by every member of Per Gradus as an emblem of its purpose, which is not merely to see an opponent bow in defeat, but, as its name implies, to step forward in intellect as in years. 119 :Society.

HE interest taken in debate at the University of North Dakota is very keen. Four literary societies are in a thriving condition, and two inter-collegiate debates are held each yearl Inter-collegiate debating at the University dates from the spring of i514, when Messrs. Brennan, Radcliffe, and Skulason, representing the University of North Dakota, defeated the debating team of the University of South Dakota at Vermillion, For several years following this contest, comparatively little inter-society and no inter-collegiate debating was done. In the fall of 1900 the revival of interest in debate and the increase of society rivalry incident to the organization of the Forum of the Law School, and the A. D. T. of the College of Arts, rendered some means of regulating inter- society debates necessary. Accordingly on Decmber 18, 1900, representatives from the four societies met President Merrif'leld and Professor Squires as representatives of the faculty and organized what was known as the nLiterary Board of Control. This board was given control of all debates and decided upon holding three. Two of these were to be preliminary, the two teams winning in the preliminaries to be matched for a third debate, which would decide the University championship. In the fall of 1901, in order to strengthen the existing association of literary societies, it was decided to reorganize the Board of Control and extend its powers. The name of the new Board, which is composed of two representatives from the Faculty and two from each of the four literary societies, was changed to that of the ttBoard of Control of the Debating Unionii and in addition to its former powers it was given power to arrange for inter-collegiate debates. lnter-collegiate contests with the Universities of Manitoba and South Dakota were arranged. The Board decided to discontinue the final or champion- ship debate and a Faculty committee was appointed to choose the members of the inter collegiate teams from debaters appearing in the preliminary inter-society debates and from others who should appear in a debate open to all University students. In the preliminary debates the Adelphi and A. D. T. Societies were victorious. Messrs. White, Hamel and Duggan were selected to represent the ttU against Manitoba, and Messrs. Larsen, Butterwick and Wardrope to represent the ttUit against South Dakota. The University of North Dakota won both events. During the tall term of the present school year the A. D. T. defeated the Per Gradus and Adelphi defeated the Law School. Messrs. Nestos, Hamel, and Carney were chosen to debate South Dakota and Messrs. Larsen, Thordarsen, and Wardrope to debate Man- itoba. The debate with Manitoba was held in Grand Forks, March 13, and resulted in a . decision for the Manitoba team. A debate is held every year between the ladies of the A. D. T. and Adelphi Societies. This is a contest for a valuable gold medal given by Mr. Gansl of Grand Forks. Out of the three debates, which have been held. the A. D T. won in 01 and :03, and the Adelphi in ,02. The ladies have distinguished themselves for excellence in debate, and the ladiest debate has become the event of the year in literary circles. 124 Slater-Olnllrgiatp Erhaterz. NORTH DAKOTA VS.

You, good reader, may think that this is a foolish admission, but we know that millions have shared our fate since the days of Eve, and would not at all be sure but what you are one of that number and know how to sympathize with us. The immediate cause of our meeting was to organize a Bachelors Club. We had all been fooled to the top of our bent, had all received the cold answer ttNo, when we had every reason to expect ttYes. At this ill treatment and Missiusage, we were so indignant that we formed the V. B. C. and swore that we would be bachelors forevermore. Of course, we knew that it is not good for man to be alone, but what were we going to do about it when it became a case of haveto?esurely we could not be expected to he on our knees all our lives begging to be accepted, only to be excepted and Miss-used. Not so did we see it: and in order to avoid future disappointments we adopted the following rules for our club: 1. Never go out walking with a lady who is not your sister or near relative. 2. Never pay attention to; or smile at, ladies. 3. Be courteous to fair ones but do not become fascinated. After we had organized we sang nSeeing Nellie Home and celebrated the event by spreads galore, just to keep up our courage; for really, we did not dislike, the girls; but we were indignant because of illatreatment and, more remotely, because their ancestor was to blame that our ancestor was banished from the garden of Eden. Therefore, when we had resolved that we would remain bachelors, we were compelled to do something to keep up our courage and to prevent it from becoming a mere New Years resolution. It was soon discovered that a bachelor was a wild goose that tame geese envied. While we were not dreaming of opposition from any source, the tame geese made away with our ice cream and cake. This event marked the beginning of our trouble not only from our brothers but the sisters assailed the president of our society and demanded to know the reason for our resolutions. Times have changed since then. We are now enjoying one continual round of pleas- ure. Our opponents have found that we really meant to keep our resolutions. In closing this history we wish to give one word of warning to the dear ones: HD0 not work the word ltNo,, to death or all the boys may join the Bachelors Club and then what would happen? 0 N the twentyasecond of February, 1902, there met, in a room in Budge Hall, ten 134 .mDAQ MOAMIUzwm ?Ewmmzf9 mhuncuuumlm KEYS; W? 20354 v2: :85th .0 wszoQ :oEoO mau,5um 3.05 H. 35:52 H. .I .SEmEF A.

N far-away Iceland, the gem of the northern seas, lives a people noted for industry and I love of learning. They have preserved the beautiful old Norse language in their literature beginning With the Eddas and the Sagas of the eighth century. During the last thirty years, large numbers have emigrated from Iceland and are now loyal and progressive citizens of Canada and of the United States. Here they are ready and eager to take advantage of the splendid educational facilities. Twenty-two students of Ice- landic parentage are now attending the University of North Dakota. On November twenty-third, nineteen hundred and two, the Icelandic alumni and stu- dents together with the professor of Scandinavian languages, organized the Icelandic Association of the University of North Dakota. As there are no Icelandic books to use in connection With the study of old Norse, the prlmary object of this new business organ- ization is to gather funds to buy a library of Icelandic literature and present it to the University. Nearly three hundred dollars has been raised by subscriptions in the Icelandic set- tlements 0f Cavaher and Pembina. counties. An appropriation of five hundred dollars has been granted by the Board of Trustees of the University; and more funds Will be raised by lectures and concerts. Before next commencement, it is expected that the Uni- versity of North Dakota will have the largest library of Icelandic literature in the West. 138 .7OHHQHOOmmaV UHDZANAHUH m0 mMMUHHF-O 56.3:an .h commixm .0 .m vauxomEF duh $0.5 :wEmkum Am .: comuimcM 2w :8:th .0 .h. :85th .0 :Saixm .0 m hmimerh the garanhinahian illiterarg $nripig.

It is intimately associated with the I biological department, Which enables it to preserve the spirit and carry forward the work of a well organized society. The membership of the biological club is unlimited, and open to any member of the University. This club affords an opportunity for informal discussions of biological problems, which are directly connected with the laboratory and field work of the biological depart- ment. Such topics as variation of plants and animals, migration of organisms, differenti- tion of structure, inhuence of changing the light, heat and food of plants and animals, preparation of soils, and kindred subjects are discussed in papers prepared by some active member of the Club. These papers are followed by a general review, and correlation of the subject matter With collateral discussions contained in the biological magazines, and exemplified in the laboratory work of the department. $Pninr Way nf 111112, ttAll 31hr a man.

HEN the University, in 1884, first opened its doors for the reception of students, it embraced only the College of Arts and its feeder, the Preparatory Department. Other departments have since been added, but the College of Arts remains, and must remain, the cornerstone of them all. The function of each of the other de- partments is to equip its students for the practice of a particular profession; the College of Arts, on the contrary, seeks to impart a broad, general culture. Such culture does not fit for any distinct vocation, but is the best possible foundation for the special prepara- tion each one must make for his life's work. It also Widens the bounds of ones interests, intellectual, aesthetic and spiritual, and thus enlarges his possibilities of future enjoyment and happiness. In 1884, the faculty consisted of three professors and one instructor; now, ten proe fessors, six assistant professors and three instructors offer courses of instruction which either are required, or may be selected, for the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Two degrees, Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science-to Which a third, Bachelor of Letters, was added in 1888Awere offered, each for the completion of a. rigidly pre- scribed curriculum of study. The degree of Bachelor of Letters was abolished in 1891; that of Bachelor of Science, in 1894. The University was, therefore, it may be of interest to note, one of the first col- leges in this country to make the change to the one banheioris degree. With this change, the principle of elective studies was for the first time introduced into the University. The requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts have, it is true, been changed A View in the Library. 149 from time to time since 1894, but never very materially. At present, they consist of six- teen courses of study, each extending through a year. Of the sixteen, two, English and Philosophy, are prescribed; four are limited to certain groups; and the remaining ten may be any of the sixty courses offered in the College of Arts that have not been previous 1y taken. Recognizing the fact that, though the training of the hand may not be essential to a liberal education, it yet has a distinct educational value, and knowing that no high school in the state at present offers opportunity for such training, the faculty permits students in the College of Arts to elect one course of shop-Work in the College of Mechanical Engineering and count it towards the degree of Bachelor of Arts. For several years, no problem, perhaps, has engaged more of the thought of college authorities than how to shorten the time required to obtain the bachelors degree Without lessening the degrees educational value. This problem the University has endeavored to solve in two ways. First, in accordance With a suggestion made by President Hyde, 6f Bowdoin College, it Will hereafter consider quality as well as quantity of work in deter- mining a student's fitness for the degree. By a system of extra credits and special honors adopted, it is made possible for a student doing excellent work in all his classes to obtain the degree in three years, taking only four courses each year. In other words, the extra. credits which may be secured by doing work of a high grade in twelve courses, exactly equal the credits given for only pass work in four courses. This, it is hoped, will greatly raise the standard of scholarship in the University. Secondly, a student may, in lieu of four elective courses, that is, a years work, elect an equivalent amount of work from the courses of instruction offered in the College of Law and have it credited towards the degree of Bachelor of Arts. This places it in the power of the student to shorten, by one year, the time required for the completion of the work of the two colleges, and thus tends, it is believed, to induce a larger number of students to take a college course before beginning their study of law. On the other hand, it does not materially sacrifice the interests of the College of Arts; for it cannot be denied that the study of law in its broad fundamental principles and its historical development is as liberalizing as any historical study, nor that a knowledge of common and constitu- tional law is of great value to every citizen of our country, Whatever his Vocation may be. The favor With Which this privilege has been received by the students is shown by the fact that more than twenty per cent of the present Senior class are taking work in the College of Law. The University does not Confer honorary degrees. Since 1895, it has made provision for graduate study, and has offered the degree of Master of Arts on conditions substan- tially the same as those on which it is awarded by other reputable colleges. This brief survey of the past development and present condition of the College of Arts shows that the University is abreast with the foremost in every forward educational movement. And while it will strive to hold this position, its friends need not fear that it will take up passing educational fads or suffer itself to he led astray by educational ignes fatm'. 150 One of the Physical Laboratory Rooms.

It was the first professional school for teachers in North Dakota. Its purpose as stated in the charter is the ninstruction and training of persons in the theory and art of teaching. This was a Wise provision for there is no longer any question whether there is a science of education and a profes- sion of teaching. Their existence is now recognized everywhere and the right of domicileit is accorded them With a welcome in all the universities of the civilized world. In fact, as the history of universities shows, the college of Liberal Arts was for cen- turies the Teachers College, just as the colleges of Law and Medicine respectively were the lawyers and doctors colleges. The Masterts degree and the Doctors degree, as the terms indicate, were teachersi degrees. It has always been true that che great function of a university is to teach and to fill the world with its teachers. The Normal College proper tthat portion of the Normal Department which is of col- lege gradei consists of two years of professional and academic work after the completion of the work of a firsteclass high school course or of the Preparatory Department at the University. Owing to the maturity of its students the Preparatory course, which includes among other subjects, elementary psychology, methods, a study of education, music, drawing and elocution, the science of English grammar, and of arithmetic, and the philosophy of United States history, may be completed in three years. Hence the Normal Department tthe Normal Preparatory and the Normal Collegei constitutes a course of five years in all. In the Normal College students are required to make a study of English, science and a foreign language, logic and psychology, the philosophy of the teaching processes and the history, science and philosophy of education. The students of the Normal Depart- ment are associated in the literary societies, in the classroom work, in the library, labora- tories, etc, with students in the other colleges of the University and hence enjoy a large and stimulating environment. This is Wholesome and in fact necessary to the real, pro- fessional teacher, both as a. corrective of a dangerous tendency in his calling and as an inspiration to that constant growth which should characterize every truly educated person. While in the Normal College of the University teachers come under the inhuence of a body of men and women seldom equaled for their special preparation and experience, for their cosmopolitanism and culture, and for their nobility and singleness of purpose. It is good for a teacher to breathe for a time the atmosphere of this higher institutional life. , The graduates from the Normal College are authorized by law to teach in the state Without examination for two years and if their experience is successful they can secure, after one year, the Iive-year certificate and after two years the life certificate without further examination. Graduates, then, may be truly called members of the Profession of Teaching. It frequently happens that teachers, about the time they graduate from the Normal College or after some teaching experience, make up their mind to return and complete the course in College of Liberal Arts, thus securing the B. A. degree. This is to be com- mended and may be done in two additional years. 152 Ellie Earn gymnnl. GUY C. H. CORLISS, DEAN. OMEWHERE in his ttComedie Humaine, Balzac says, that the physician, the preacher and the lawyer are the highest products of civilization, and as man must satisfy his necessities before he can indulge in luxuries, therefore these come last in the course of social development. He says that the physician ministers to the ailments of the body, the preacher to those of the soul, and the lawyer to those of the purse. This theory of the law of social growth, Whatever flaWs there may be in it, apparently holds good in the educational life of North Dakota as typiiied in the State University and its depart- ments First came the preparatory, the academic and the normal departmentsenecessi- ties; last the law departmentea luxury, according to Balzac. The law school was established in 1899. In 1901 it graduated its first class of 12; in 1902, one of six members; while in this year of grace it Will send out about 17 young men, each ready to prove that he is part of the uhighest products by promptly relieving the ills of a clientis purse, and in extreme cases, in analogy to the surgical operation in appen- dicitis, and for the purpose of forever preventing a recurrence of the malady, relieve the client of the purse itself. It will be seen from the above that the school is young and not very large yet. But What it lacks in numbers and experience it more than makes up in the dignity and ag- gressiveness of its members. The ttlawvyers have hitherto shown themselves ready to meet all comers, barring none. They are ever ready to debate, orate, play ball, or fight with any member of the academic department, and in past contests have more than held their own, managing to beat their adversaries, if not on the ttmerits, then on a tttechni- 154 calityfi Which is all one to a lilawyerji the end justifying the means. Then, again, the school shows vigorous and healthy growth. The enrollment has jumped from about twenty the first year of its existence, to about fifty at present; the library has grown from nothing to one of the most complete in the state; from its narrow quarters in the Security block it has moved to the new Clifford building, the finest office block in the state, Where it oc- cupies twoethirds of the third floor. The course of instruction is modeled on that of Har- vard and practically the same work given there in three years is covered here in two. The result is that the iilawyerfi according to his own story, has to study not less than sixteen hours a day, and seven days a week. Certain it is, that he is obliged to attend lectures six days out of the seven in order to keep up with the procession. The instruction given is thorough. and it is no boast to say that the graduate of this school is better htted to take up the active work of his profession in this state than the alumnus of any similar institution elsewhere, special effort being made here to familiarize the student With the practice of his own state. The law school is fortunate in having as Dean, Ex-Chief Justice Corliss, whose learn- ing and ability are too well known for comment. Then it has been favored in the mat- ter of its Secretaries. The first was Professor John E. Blair, a Harvard man, of Whom it may be truthfully said, that in so far as mortal man can create anything, he created the Law Department of the University of North Dakota. His work in that connection dee serves more extended comment than space permits here. The present Secretary, Prof. Andrew A. Bruce, is a Wisconsin man, with years of experience as a practicing attorney at the Chicago bar, and as a teacher of law in Wisconsin University. He is a lawyer of the first rank, an able teacher, an eloquent public speaker, and a practical man of affairs. N0 better selection could possibly be made for the position of Secretary, Which, contrary to the popular meaning of the term, here denotes, for all practical purposes, the professor of law in actual charge of the instruction given in the school. The instruction given by the Dean and the Secretary is supplemented by that of a corps of lecturers, nearly all of whom are attorneys engaged in active practice, which gives to the instruction that practical character so important in the study of the law. Everything considered, this department of our University is in a healthy condition, and its prospects are of the brightest. The men educated here will not fail to exert a pow- erful influence in our state for the elevation of the standard of the bench and bar and for the improvement of our social and political conditions. mbyiw OHZAQEOME 2w mgwrw mosm uwyom .O ZHQAmDm 99$ 2:: :2 mozm chEg.uco3 Q'Lnllpge nf mprhaniml anh Elertriml Engineering. CALVIN II. CROUCBI, DIRECTOR. HE College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, although only in the second year of its existence, has become a source of much pride to North Dakotans. It is no longer necessary for their sons to go to distant states to secure a first class training in either of these engineering professions, for such training is now given at the University of North Dakota. The growth of the College of Mechanical and Elec- trical Engineering has exceeded the expectations of its most sanguine friends. During its first year the college occupied quarters in the basement of Science Hall but it soon became apparent that more room would be required. Accordingly, the Trustees provided for its needs by erecting last summer the Mechanic Arts Building, a large two story brick structure in Which are located the various shops, laboratories, class, draughting, and reading rooms. All of these have been thoroughly equipped with the most approved modern appliances so that in these respects the college Will compare favor. ably with any engineering school, A glance at the entrance requirements and curriculums offered will show the courses to be of a high grade. By exacting rigid entrance require- ments, the college is enabled to devote more time than would otherwise be possible to the purely engineering courses, thus maintaining a high standard of technical scholare ship. The courses are planned expressly for the regular engineering students but several of them are of such a nature that they can be modified to suit the needs of artisans who are unable to take a degree, but who desire to become thorough mechanics in woodwork. ing, moulding, blacksmithing, machine shop practice, mechanical drawing, or engine run- ning. By placing Within reach of the artisans 0f the state at dull periods of the year the line equipment provided for the regular engineering students, the college, it is be- lieved, is realizing its highest usefulness. The photographs on the opposite page partially show the equipment and lines of work conducted in the various departments of the college. The importance of technical educa- tion is shown by the demands of manufacturers for men With a firstvelass scientific train- ing. The age for ttrule of thumb men has passed. Competition is too sharp. Our great industries must, have men who can easily grasp the details of the situation and devise means and methods for improving the quality of product and cheapening the cost of production. To do this, their men must know the Why and Wherefore and be able to solve difiicult engineering problems in the easiest possible manner. That the nTechnical Graduate has clearly demonstrated the superiority of his training is Shown by the responsible positions he now holds. The demand for these men greatly exceeds the supply, notwithstanding the large number graduating from our technical schools. 157 anllrgp nf mining Enginwring. E. J. BABCOCK, DEAN. HE School of Mines has been established as a department of the University as pro- vided by the legislative act of March, 1890. The United States government also provided for the School of Mines by a grant of 40,000 acres of land. The wisdom of this act is manifest in affording technical education in an industry which has become a close rival of that of agriculture and which is of immense importance in build- ing up a commonwealth. No industry requires for its success higher technical skill than does that of mining and metallurgy in its various phases, and next to agriculture no industry contributes so largely to the growth and prosperity of the nation. North Dakota. has just started on a period of rapid and large development of her mineral resources. These industries are of immense value to the people of our state. They deserve our most careful fostering and the services of the best trained mining specialists our school of mines can produce As will be seen by referring to the courses of instruction of the University School of Mines and comparing these With courses offered in other mining schools, the School of Mines of the University of North Dakota has already a strong and practical course. So good a start has been possible on account of the connection of this department with the University. Here every mining student has all the advantages of a university with its specialists in the various departments of instruction, with its library, its well equipped laboratories and its machine shops. The close afiiliation between the mechanical engineer- ing department and the school of mines is mutually very helpful. Among the more important machinery now provided are crushers, pulverizers, tube mills, clay working machines, small brick machines, compressed air or steam rock drills, testing machines, smelting furnaces and the various assay furnaces. Small cyanide and chlorination plants and electrolytic refiners Will soon be in place. Other needed machinery will be added soon. It will be possible for the mining student to carry the ores of various metals through the actual metallurgical processes, though on a small scale. In the case of iron, copper or lead ores the refining can be carried far enough to secure sufficient quantity to be actually cast into the parts of a machine. The student will thus become familiar with every step from an ore to the finished part of a machine. Special training Will be given to fit men to develop the mineral industries of our own state as well as the diversified resources of the greater northwest. Arrangements are made whereby students in mining will be taken to some of the great mines and Smelters and mining regions. This will be done during the summer but will be a required part of the course; In this manner, by careful study under the direc- tion of the professor in charge, students will become somewhat familiar With actual mining operations. The ideal is a strong technical and practical training which will fit young men to fill successfully important positions in the various branches of the mining industry, as well as a course broad enough to fit for the duties of citizenship. 158 595 m: mayooy cm 352.

HE law creating the Geological Survey of North Dakota placed it directly under the control of the University authorities and made it a definite department of University work. The professor of Geology at the State University is the State Geologist and acting on his advice the Board of Trustees determine the lines of investi- gation to be undertaken. During the past year two problems of vital importance to the state have been studied; the lignite coal fields, and conditions with reference to irrigation. That lignite may be looked for throughout most of the western half of the state, an area of 31,500 miles, was fairly demonstrated. Beds twenty feet thick were frequently found, while one was dis- covered which at its surface outcrop measured forty feet. The fuel value of the lignites Was investigated with results that were gratifying to those who are anxious to see the state not only furnish its own fuel but export coal to its neighbors on the east and south. All of the mines of the state were visited and mining methods were noted, and the conclusion reached, that the lignite offers no peculiar diITiculty in development. The re- lation of the lignite to irrigation furnishes an interesting field for study and one chapter is devoted to it in the report for last year, With the cheap fuel found everywhere in the region where irrigation is most needed it will often be a matter of economy to pump water from streams and reservoirs to supply the demands of the growing crops during years of deficient rainfall. The State Geological Survey enjoys the co- -operation of the United States Survey and together they are pushing forward topographic work and investigations with reference to the water resources of the state. The work outlined for the coming year includes a further study of the lignite beds and two expeditions will probably be put in the field to follow all of the streams in the lignite area, note the quantity and quality of the coal, and the amount of land that can be irrigated by pumping. The valuable clays which accompany the lignite will be studied both in the field and the laboratory, and aided by the department of ceramics of the School of Mines, practical tests on a large scale will be undertaken. A corps of trained assistants is being developed to which the faculty of the University and School of Mines, and the advanced students largely contribute. The work of the Survey is summed up in the bi-ennial report, a book of three hundred or more pages, which is sent to the schools and colleges of the state and to business men seeking light on the mineral resources of the state before investing and as far as possible to all others interested in geological studies. 160 61hr $rhnnl nf Olnmmerre. W. 1W. BRYANT. PRINCIPAL. HE School of Commerce was established as a department of the University in 1901, I and although only just completing its second year it has grown to be a very popu- lar feature of the University: The course corresponds closely to that offered in the public commercial high schools Which are being established in the leading cities of the country. Such a Course as this is the forerunner of that higher commercial training which is just now receiving so much attention from our colleges. In this intense commercial age, When so many great financial and industrial institutions are being organs ized and developed, there is an ever increasing demand for college trained men to fill places of responsibility. There is a decided advantage for the College graduate who goes into the business world with some knowledge of its customs and practice. While the purpose of this school is primarily to afford graduates of high schools an opportunity to supplement their high school training With a thorough business training, special students are, for the present, admitted to the school after they have completed the common branches, and are allowed to take such studies as they choose to elect. Stus dents in the various departments of the University are afforded an opportunity to elect some branch of commercial work in connection With their regular course, While the spe- cial commercial students enjoy the benefits of college life and environment While pursuing their work. This arrangement works for the betterment of both classes of. students. That it is appreciated by the public is evidenced by the fact that last year 40 regular commercial students were enrolled, and some 35 others elected some branch of study offered. This year about 125 persons have been enrolled in the various classes of the department. A Room of the Commercial Department. 161 The School of Commerce offers a course covering three years, outlined as follows: First Year:--Rhetoric, Commercial Arithmetic, Commercial Geography, Stenography I, Typewriting UTouch,, SystemL and one elective. Second Yearthookkeeping I hpractice method from the start, covering a thorough course in double and single entry systemL Stenography II advanced course in offlce practice and reporting, Typewriting Uncluding letter copying, mimeographing, and office methodsL and two electives. Third Year:-Bookkeeping II advanced accounting systems, corporation methods, wholesaling, commission, and banking practice, Commercial Law 01 study of the law of contracts, negotiable paper, sales, property, agency, partnership, insurance, eth, Letter Writing, and two electives. Electives are offered in departments of mathematics, literature, languages, and sciences. This department occupies quarters on the third floor of the main recitation building. There are recitation rooms for bookkeeping and shorthand work, equipped With excellent furniture. an omce department provided with a generous supply of modern appliances, 3 typewriting room provided With a. number of standard typewriting machines, and a prin- cipaYs office and library, the latter containing many things of interest to students in this department. 162 Scene on Foot Ball Fields Euarh nf QImdrnl.

North Dakota was admitted into the Union in 1889, and just two years later foot ball was introduced as the fall game in the State University. Since that small and almost fruitless beginning, no year has gone by without seeing a team in the field, and with that team as loyal support of students and faculty as the times and Circumstances would permit. Professor M, A. Brannon had witnessed the annual contest which had taken place between Wabash College and Purdue University in the fall of 1891, and the old college spirit and enthusiasm was aroused to such an extent that the game was at once introduced into our institution. But the itUti was young and there were few studentsiespeeially few who cared tito get out and fight? Another drawback was the fact that no one but the professors knew how to play the game or understood the rules, and as a result nobody took very much inter- est in it or cared to pay to see a game. It was even worse when it became necessary to pay for equipment and the required expenses of the team. And besides this little cost for the necessary paraphernalia, little acci- dents were liable to happen, and then there was a doe tors bill to 13ay-this was the great dimculty and has been almost insurmountable. Those were trying times, and it was hard to keep up enough interest to make the game self-supporting. Then, too. it required more grit or pluck on the part of the players than they had been in the habit of needing. itPaF didrft want to see his son ulaid out or run up such large expense accounts. ttMaf too, was afraid her son would get injured; and the son disliked one thing in particular-itthe sluggingfj-eespecially because he couldntt light it out then and there. Professor found it necessary to act as captain, manager, leader of the yelling squad, trainer, coach, and even missionary. 169 Skuli Skufason. Lynn Frazier. Fitzmaurice boys, acted as water carriers or lines- After many games were canceled on account of some accident or withdrawal of players, the first big games were finally played in the fall of 1894, and since that time our teams have met with varying success-doing the best work in the fall of 1899. At first the students and faculty practiced to- gether and were lined up against each other. And in some of the first games the faculty did their part, but since 1895 none but students have carried the ttpigskin. Lieuten- ant Farnsworth, who Was head of the Mili- t a r y department, and a member of the faculty, was the ustar player during the hrst hard games, and some of our later Hstars, as Flanagan and the men. To their lot also fell the work of preventing the polcemen from interfering in the game or arrest- ing the players. Sometimes they were not successful, and the ttman with the clubtt helped to coin the rules of the gameesuch as the one against utackling around the ankles or neckyt and against ttslugging. Thus gradually, and often under trying difficul- ties, the game has advanced in popularity and favor, Victor Wardrope. until now, it enjoys the foremost place among the games on the athletic field. games is our motto and the determination to play none but college students has been our principle in all our games. Win honestly or do not win at all. 170 Pam nf BEL Fitzmauricc Prof. Brannon, Mgrj Stead Robinson Wardrope Murphy Wilcox Ward Duty Moran Olson McLane Jennings Thompson Jewell Crew Lemke Frazier, Cath Thomson Wilson Carpenter Flanagan Nucssle Currier Loomis, Coacm Skulason Classes at Drill in Armory.

Its title would he The Hero as College President, and in it would be a story both interesting and instructive. The modern College President to be successful must certainly be endowed with rare and complex powers. He must possess in happy equipoise abilities of almost antithetical character. He must be a scholar, yet a man of affairs; a dreamer of dreams, yet a practical master of petty details. He must have the heart of youth and the wisdom of age. Like a preacher, he must be a perennial fount of inspiration; like a business man, he must be intimately acquainted With questions of finance; like a lawyer, he must be able to look both forward and back, able to judge of precedents, and forsee the outcome of present policies. He must be an idealist, yet able to bring things to pass He must be a. politician, and yet sincere and absolutely just. To sum the Whole matter up in seventeen words, he must be: Wise Manly Energetic Erudite Broadminded Religious Scholarly Resolute True Hearted Independent Enthusiastic Fatherly Reasonable Idealistic Entertaining Liberal Devoted The University has certainly been fortunate to have had at its head for the past thirteen years its present honored President, VVebsLer Merrilield. He was born at Williamsville, Vt.. July 27, 1852. In his earlier years he experienced the boon 0f povertyethe boon Which has strengthened the character and developed the innate resources of some of our foremost Americans. The influences of his home were of the stern sort characteristic of Puritan New England. There was no pampering or cuddling; there was little poetry or mirth. Life was regarded as a serious matter, and the rugged traits of honesty, manliness, and self-reliance were vigorously incul- 187 cated. It would, however, be a mistake to infer that the Vermont boys of those days had no poetry in their souls. Vermont seems to have a stronger hold upon her sons than almost any other state. A New Yorker may cease to boast of the glories of the Empire state. Even a Virginian may cease to look back with longing to the 01d DoA minion. But to a Vermonter, Vermont is always the most charming state in the Union; The secret lies in the quiet beauty of the Green Mountains, 3. beauty which every Green Mountain boy drinks in with, the air he breathes. Thus it was with Webster Merriiieid. As he drove the cows to pasture on his native hills, his soul, all unconsciously was stirred by the loveliness about him. As Wordsworth said of the boy of Windemere, HThe visible scene, Would enter unawares into his mind, With all its solemn imagery, its rocks, Its woods. As a student, young Merrifieid early distinguished himself. He was always the smallest boy in his class and always the brightest. A schoolmate thus describes his f1rst acquaintance with him. tilt wasji he says, timy first day at the Academy. As I took the place assigned, I noticed a small boy sitting on the bench in front. tWhat is that little runt doing here? I thought to myself. tHe canit belong in this class, Presently the teacher put a difficult question. Everybody was floored; that is, every one except the small boy. To my surprise, he, after a moments hesitation, modestly raised his skinny little hand. The teacher called upon him and he answered the question correctly. I thought to myself, tWell, he isnit such a little runt after all.' We are told that the young Vermonter was not much of a ttladiest manf, either at school or college, although a prime favorite With the boys. He was too small to take a very active part in athletics, and too busy earning money to meet his expenses to mingle to any great extent in the various college activities. He was, however, editor of his college paper, and Close to the head of his class in both mathematical and literary studies. His high scholarship brought him an election to the Phi Beta Kappa society, membership in Which is the most coveted honor which a scholarly stu- dent can crave. His social and literary abilities brought him an election to Delta Kappa Epsilon, one of the two most famous literary fraternities at Yale. For reasons of his own he did not accept the latter election, but that it was tendered is proof of the high esteem in which he was held by his college mates. After his graduation in 1877, Mr. Merrifield taught for two years in a private school at Newburg, N. Y. Here he worked very hard, teaching ten hours a day, and at the same time carrying on the study of law. A proof of the strong literary passion of his heart is found in the fact that during his first year at Newburg, in spite of heavy work, he read the complete works of Thomas Carlyle for pastime. Here, too, he found time for many rambles among the picturesque highlands of the Hudson, and this fed his heart With the beauty of nature, and satisfied the taste which all unconsciously he had developed in his boyhood in Vermont. The work at Newburg was, however, too exacting, and in 1879, he found himself broken in health. A change of air and scene was imperative. He therefore determined to come to North Dakota, where his family had acquired a tract of land. The North Dakota of those days was very different from the North Dakota of to-day. There was Xthen no railroad to Grand Forks, and the young traveler made his way thither on foot from Fargo, covering the distance in two days. Grand Forks was a small village, with very poor hotel accommodations, and in general an unattractive place. Mr. Merrifield 188 threw himself heartily into the life of the community, engaging in various occupations, and soon Succeeded in winning back his health and strength. His life in North Dakota was soon interrupted, however, by a call from his Alma Mater to a place in her faculty. Mr. Merrifield continued at Yale as a tutor in the classics and mathematics for four years. These years spent under the shadow of the elms of ttOld Eli were pleasant and profitable, affording a certain amount of leisure for study and meditation, and also the opportunity for companionship with schol- arly men. Among his intimate friends at this time was Arthur Hadley, then, like him- self, a young tutor, now the President of the University. Meanwhile, in 1883, the University of North Dakota was established, and Webster Merrifield was appointed to the chair of Latin and Greek. The appointment was a for- tunate one. The new professor brought from the great New England University a line spirit of culture and a high educational ideal. He was already familiar with affairs in North Dakota, and acquainted with the special needs of the territory. On Sept. 8, 1884, the University opened with about thirty students in attendance. Of the faculty who began work at this time, President Merrifield alone is still connected with the ine stitution. For several years the work of the University was largely that of a. high school, some of the classes, in fact, being only of grammar grade. The professor of Latin and Greek had to teach arithmetic, geography, and various other subjects. The University was without traditions or definite ideals. The faculty gathered from hither and yon, had very different ideas of the scope and function of the institution; most of the students were without adequate preparation; the people were impatient to see great things accomplished. In the midst of this general confusion, it proved far from easy to work out a consistent system of University education. But it was soon recognized that the professor of Latin and Greek, while having the highest scholastic ideals, was nest closely in touch with the practical needs of North Dakota. His suggestions were wise, his methods were tactful, his relation with the students particularly close, and his hold upon the general public undoubted and permanent. Accordingly in 1891 he was advanced to the Presidency. The administration of President Merrifield has more than fulfilled expectations. Under his wise leadership the University has grown along many lines. The standard of scholarship has been gradually raised; the curricula have been gradually broadened; new departments have been added as rapidly as possible; new buildings have been erected; the hnancial affairs have been managed with economy and wisdom, and have been put upon a firm and enduring basis. In all this work the President has been assisted by a progressive Board of Trustees and by a. loyal Faculty; but in all things he has been the master spirit. He has never shrunk from any duty, no matter how onerous or disagreeable, and he has taken upon himself a. thousand duties which few college presidents would think of assuming. Some one has said that the old-fashioned college president looked down upon a freshman very much as the Almighty looks down upon a black bug crawling on the earth. There has been certainly nothing of this spirit in President Merrifieldts attitude towards his boys and girls. He has taught his classes with enthusiasm, taking a personal interest in every student; he has tended the sick with the skill and fidelity of a family physi- cian; he has admonished the erring with the affection of a father. In every relation the students have found him endlessly patient and tenderly considerate. For many years the University was more like a big family than a. school, and President Merrifield was the father of the hock. Many a sick boy by whose bedside he has watched at night, many a discouraged girl Whom he has cheered, many a mischievous youngster Whom he has wisely admonished. could tell stories of his interest and devotion which could not 189 be paralleled at any other state institution in the land. It is no wonder that parents trust him and that students love him. The great crisis in the affairs of the University came in 1895, when the bi-ennial appropriation for its support was vetoed by the governor. It looked like a death blow. Most men would have said, If they donit want me here Illl go elsewherefi To make matters worse, the trustees of the University of Montana seized the opportunity to offer President Merriiield the presidency of their institution. It was one of those times which try menis souls. But the soul of Webster Merrifield was strong enough to stand the strain. He was coniident that the veto of the governor did not correctly represent pop- ular opinion. He believed in the future of this state. He loved the little University into which he had built his thought and life. He resolved to defy the fates and stay. Steps were taken to raise sufficient funds by popular subscription to keep the institution open. He himself contributed over a thousand dollars to the cause. He persuaded his faculty to stand by him, and nobly they responded, each one sacrificing in money and in comfort to keep the college. open The people of the state of North Dakota do not yet appreciate the heroism of the men who in the hour of need stood by the State University. Times have now happily changed. The University is on a firm tinancial basis, and is daily getting a closer hold upon the hearts of the people of the state. Year by year the attendance is increasing. The atmosphere of the place is rapidly becoming charged with the true University spirit. President Merrifield has every reason to look upon the labors of his hand and feel satisfied. That he is still devoted to the institution is shown by his recent refusal of the presidency of a well known eastern university, as well as by his enthusiastic declaration that he would rather be the President of the University of North Dakota than the President of the United States. May he long live to occupy the position of his choice. Other interests than those of the University have reason to be glad of the presence in the state of Webster Merrifield. It was he, for instance, who conceived the idea of a State High School Board, and he has been a member of it from the beginning. From the beginning he has also acted as High School Examiner. The rapid advancement of the High Schools of the state, the adoption of a uniform course of study, and the corre- lation of all the educational agencies of the state in a unified system is largely his work. President Merriiield is a popular speaker, and is much in demand as a lecturer. He is not an orator in the usual aceeptation of that word; but both his written and spoken words have a charm and grace that never fail to please. His style is suggestive of Addison or George William Curtis rather than of Burke 0r Webster. He always speaks with feeling and with a touch of that poetic spirit Which was born in him in his boyhood on the Vermont hills, and which has been cultivated by an intimate acquaintance with the best authors and by repeated visits to the most beautiful and romantic scenes in this country and in Europe. For many years all who have known President Merrifield have felt that all he needed to round out his life and make it ideal was a wife. This lack is now happily supplied. In June last he was married to Mrs. Elizabeth Bull, of Newburg, N. Y. Mr. and Mrs. Merrifield had known each other for many years, and their affection was ac- cordingly based on thorough acquaintance and mutual respect. Mrs. Merrifield has been at the University only a few weeks, but in this short time she has won all hearts. Her kindliness and keen interest in all that pertains to the University as a whole, and to the students as individuals coupled with the charm of her personality and the grace of her manner have made us all glad. We cannot help feeling that by his marriage the President has gained fresh strength and added to his powers of usefulness. 190 It is impossible to put down in cold type the essential elements in the character of a high minded and devoted man. The central secret defies analysis and eludes de scription. Thus it is With President Merrifleld. No amount of writing can give an adequate idea of what he is today. The story is not to be found in any book, but rather in the hearts of the hundreds of young men and women who have come under the stim- ulating and gracious inhueuce of his life.

Surely he Will at once admire, and soon grow to love the fair and stately city, with its domes, and towers, and gardens, and groves. And the Oxford student? Will young America like young England at first? Just at first, perhaps, the American may think the Englishman coldiand distant, but this is a feeling that, in the humble opinion of the writer of this article, Will not last. We Will suppose our North Dakota boy to have entered the university, and had rooms assigned him at an Oxford college. He will be the occupant of at least two rooms of his own-sitting room and bedroom. Instead of breakfast, dinner and supper, to which he is accustomed, he finds the three meals at Oxford are breakfast and luncheon, taken in his own rooms, and dinner, at G p. m., in the college dining halli The private breakfasts and luncheons will probably strike him as unsociable, until he becomes ac- quainted; then he Will find there is no need to breakfast or lunch alone. He Will find that he can have, at most times, all the male companionship he wants; sometimes, per- haps, more than he wants, so that he Will be fain to close his outer door, as a sign that he would be alone. Students rooms in Oxford Colleges are approached by double doors-the outer one be- ing a plain oaken portal closing with a spring lock and opening only With a key. Closing this outer door is called tisporting the oak? However, a ttsported oak does not always warn off familiar friends Who feel socially disposed. In very truth, our own North Dakotan Will have no need to feel lonely after the ice is first broken. Freshmen are not supposed to venture to address senior menethat is, those Who have been longer at Oxford-if only by a term-than they. College etiquette provides that freshmen must wait until they are called on. The caller will leave his card, if our fresh- man is not in his rooms, but our freshman must not leave his card on a senior. He must go on calling until he does find him in his rooms. Recitations, or, as Oxford men say, Hlectures, are generally over by one oicloek, and the student is free to seek the river, the cricket field, the fooball ground, or any of the many forms of amusement in vogue at Oxford A noted American, Richard Harding; Davis, says that the Oxford student impressed him as the most interesting combination of shyness and audacity; that his most noted characteristic is his love of :tragging, or playing practical jokes; and that it is in the audacity and earnestness of these practical jokes that the Oxford undergraduate differs most Widely from the undergraduate of American colleges. The Harvard student may think he is of finer Clay than the townspeople, and the tradesmen, and policemen, but he cannot bring them to think so. The Oxford townsman, however, feels an inborn respect for the Varsity man, and submits to his impertinences because he considers him one of the upper classes. An Oxford undergraduate, wearing a tall silk hat, once visited a grocery store in the city. Handing his hat to the grocer, he asked him to fill it With molasses. After some demur, the grocer, supposing the humorous young spark had some joke on hand, consented. The eccentric undergraduate, on receiving the brimming headgear, clapped it on the head of the unfortunate grocer, and departed in high glee, throwing down a sovereign to pay for his joke. It is not known What the Victim said, or did, but the matter probably ended thereewhich would by no means have been the case on this side of the ocean. 196 The university statutes ordain that undergraduates must wear cap and gown, in the streets, before one otelock in the day, and after dusk. Most students, however, refuse to obey this rule, in spite of proctors, and fines, and appear in ttrobes only at chapel and in lecture rooms. The Oxford commoners gown, Which, presumably, the Rhodes scholar Will wear, is a funny little garment, With streamers or hands behind, as if to show that the student is under the leading strings of alma mater. The throaty English voice, With the aristocratic intonation Which is very noticeable among English boys of the upper, and upper middle class, will sound strange to our North Dakotan at first. but, Whether he likes it or not, he Will come back to us, after three years of Oxford, With a distinctly British accent. g?tuhmfa 1821mm.

PRIZE STORY dinner, and, obedient to a. well recognized law of physiology, was feeling more than usually drowsy. The recitation in biology had progressed in a desultory fashion for some time, during which I had recited as well as I had expected to, and my mind being thus relieved from apprehension, I was idly making sketches on the blank pages of my notebook. The special subject of these drawings was a life size figure, composed of papier mache, representing a man with the skin entirely removed from his body in order to lay bare the muscles, tendons, bones, etc., all of which were colored true to life. In addition to this the figure was made up of sections so arranged as to permit an examination of any organ of the body independent of the rest. Thus the eager student of physiology, wishing to get at the true inwardness of things had but to release divers hooks, remove a section of. the bodyrwall and explore the department of the interior for the object of his search. On entering the room, I had noticed that the top of this gentlemanis head had been removed and was lying on a table, together with part of his fawn-eolored brain. I was just completing a drawing of the latter more or less essential portion of the human make- up, when I became conscious that; I was alone, also that the corners of the room were becoming blurred in the rapidly falling twilight. Though this had never happened before, I found myself vaguely wondering why I was not uneasy, nor even surprised. Before I had fully reasoned out my odd feeling of tranquility a voice broke the silence. ttWould you mind putting back that half a brain of mine for me, please? That one lying on the table there.u Now I was surprised. I glanced at the iigure. There it stood on its pedestal, arm extended in precisely the same position as always, but even as I gazed the same voice spoke again: tiThey dont do it very often, but they forgot this time, and I'm no good Without my whole brain, you know. i This time it was unmistakably the figure Which made the remark, so I hastened to do as requested. itTheref he said, as I replaced the section of his cogitator and snapped 0n the roof of his cranium. tiThatis better. Muc-h obliged, young man. I'll do the same for you some time. T HE air in the recitation room was warm, very warm. I had just finished a hearty It occurred to me later, that that last remark was not entirely compli- mentary, but I overlooked it at the time. iIYou see, I really wanted to talk to you? continued my interesting friend, but when I first spoke I had only half my mind at my disposal, and you know When a person has half a mind to do something he generally , doesnlt do it. As he spoke, the figure lowered his arm, and, stepping down from his low pedestal, stretched him- self out as comfortably as possible in one of the seats. Seeing my look of surprise, he anticipated a question with an explanation. ttI suppose you are wondering why I didnit step down and get that brain myself. Well, I would have done 200 so, but you see that half my brain was the right half, and contains the centre of motion. You may have noticed in a recent lecture by Prof. D. J. Cunningham, of Dublin, that. in right-handed persons, the centre of speech is in the left half of the brain, so of course I could talk to you all right, but until you replaced the half containing the centre of motion I couldnt have moved to save my skin, that is, if I had a skin. Sit down awhile, wonit you? I sat down, but I was still puzzled. ItLook here, I said, ttthat is a good explanation, and all that, but what right have you to use a brain at all? Youyre made of pulp, of paper! How under theesayl Am I crazy or it tINot a bit, my boy, not a bit. Youlre as sane as youtll ever be. tHere was another rather doubtful remark which I passed over at the timeJ ttI dont mind telling you all about it, because you seem to have more respect for me than most folks. At least you have never hung your hat on me, nor made fun of my bald head, nor called me an old stiff, nor anything like that. The fact is, Iym just as much alive as you are when I want to be. You have heard of Prof. Loeb, of Chicago, and his experiments with life and death, havenit you'. I admitted that I had read more or less about it. uWell, Ilm the next step. Prof. Loeh has succeeded only in re animating dead tissues which were once living. Now, the old German scientist who made me had gone farther than that. He succeeded in putting life into matter which had never before been alive. That was quite a while ago, my boy, and people didnit believe as much in scientists as they do now. so they thought this old German was crazy, and that made him mad He finally declared he would carry his secret with him to the grave, and he did, only, before he shuffled off, he con- structed me. When I was finished and instilled with life, my skin being purposely left off to prevent my asso- ciating with my fellow-men and thus in some way reveal- ing his Secret, he presented me to a German University as a model for the Classes in physiology. In time they began constructing other figures after my style, lwith improvements they said. meaning that their new figures were divided into smaller sections, so I was discarded as Out of date and shipped around to different colleges, until finally I landed here. See? ttWellll' I gasped, Iiof all the strange stories I ever heard, yours heads the list, Mr.- I hesitated; nMr. Papier Maehef supplied the figure quickly. ttThe old German had a name for me that took him seven minutes to articulate, and he was a fast talker, too, but I call myself Mr. Papier Mache because it is pleasing to the ear, as well as explanatory. My peculiar color scheme, however, has won for me the nickname of ttMottled Mike? and that is what I go by, generally? nDonit you find it uncomfortable without a skin? I observed. Well, it has its advantages, was the reply, uI can never be arrested, as the tatooed man was, for running a skin gameil I laughed, of course, and this seemed to tickle my friend immensely. gIive been waiting eight years to spring that joke? he said. I read it on a news- paper which was wrapped around my head once when I was being shipped. Good, isnt it? First time I read it, I laughed ltill I almost cracked a rib? Here was the chance for a question I had been wanting to ask. Mr. ttDid your old German give you twenty-Iive ribs, like the original man? I inquired, ttor just twerity-four, like the rest of us'.w ttTwenty-fourf replied Mike. ttThat twentyvfifth rib didnjt count for much anyway. I suppose you think that when the first woman was made from the rib of the first man, that it was the most important event in history. Well, it wasnt. It was only a side issue? When I had duly gone into a spasm and recovered again, I asked my jocular ac- quaintance what he did to amuse himself during his hours of leisure. ttOh, I never lack for amusement? he answered. tiFramework Phil and I organized a football team during the fall, and ife wHold on a minute, I interrupted, ttwho's this Framework PhilTl uWhy, hes the skeleton out in the laboratory, there. You must have noticed him peeking out of that shroud they hang over him, havenlt youTi Of course 1 had, and 1 said so. He had been frequently examined, in the football season. when one of the boys would fracture some bone that was a new one to the rest of us. i nAs I was saying, Mike went on, uwe organized a football team composed of the animals in the museum, together with Phil and me. ttOh, see hereili I protested, ttwhat are you giving me? You may move around all right, and possibly Phil can, tOOeII remember seeing a show where two skeletons did a cakewalkiebut the animals out there in the museum! You cant make me believe that they sport around here after dark. ttThey donlt, eh? Well, how do you know they donlt? Of course they only do it when no ones around, and, because no one has ever seen them at it, you take it for granted that it never happens. For thousands of years there were millions of people who thought they saw the sun revolve around the earth every day. Did that prove that it does it? No. you bet it didnt, and just because no one suspects that those animals can riot around here nights is no sign they cantU To my mind, this was all absolute nonsense, but I had no wish to enter into any dis- cussion with my entertaining companion, so I let it pass and inquired of him as to the several positions on the team. ltLetls see, he mused, the grizzly bear played centre, and there wasnit much that got past him, I can tell you. He was forever getting barred for strangling and slugging, but when he was in the game he was in it with both pairs of. feet. We had a deer for our tackles and guards. Phil and I played ends. Heis pretty swift, you know; doesnlt offer much resistance to the air, but when he is once tackled he never can break away again. His openework structure makes it too easy to get a good grip on him. ttThe old musk-OX was our fullback. We would have liked a buffalo, but when the 01d ox got his horns low and his tail high and really dug into it he was no slouch. The kangaroo played right half, and say! You ought to see him hurdle the line! Heis simply a wonder. tiThat husky Rocky Mountain ram was our other half, and when he hits the line there is a noticeable concussion and dont you forget it. Something has got to give and its not usually the ram. HFor a while we tried Prickly Jim, the porcupine, at quarter-back, but tackling him was like tackling an adult cactus, and as he refused to shave, we fired him and put the fox in his plaice.n iiDid you have oiiieials? I asked. itCertainly, though we had quite a discussion over them at iirst. Of course one of the chief requisites of a good referee is justice, so I suggested the sword-iish. Justice is always pictured with a sword and scales, you know, but some of the rest wanted the bat, because hets blind. We compromised in the end by selecting both of them, each to act as referee in one-half and umpire in the otherF tiHow about that mastodon that just arrived? I inquired. Couldnit you ring him in as a guard or something? Yes, he would have strengthened the line somewhat, but he isntt enunciated yet, you knowf, n1511,t what? I exclaimed. uEnunciated; strung up; put together. What did you think I said? Oh, I see. But dontt you mean articulated? ttWell, you know better than I do, only I always thought they meant about the same. My education is like the rag-mants stock-in-trade, you know; it is merely what I could pick up here and there. HWhere did you get a footlmalliw was my next query. itWe never had one. We used one of those old Cliff Dwellerts skulls. The kangaroo did our place-kicking for us; stood side ways and slammed the poison sign with his tail. If we wanted to 10th we- I never heard who did the punting, for just at this juncture I felt an emphatic and warning poke in the back, a poke Which promptly brought me back from the realm of foolish dream into a confused realization that the professor was asking me a question. I answered with a. statement so completely absurd that the class united in giving me the cruel, metallic laugh, but on the Whole I think making the acquaintance of Mr. Papier Maehe was worth it. H.

EARLY all the skaters had left the river, all except one solitary girl, who sat on one of the benches, thinking very seriously about something. Presently another individual came along in the shape of a boy. He sat down on the bench beside her and began talking. tiSay, Louise, do you suppose that I got plucked in Latin 111., you know we had examination to-day, and it was deuced hard. I am afraid that if I dont study harder my name will appear on the Bulletin Board to go and call on Prexy. tiDr. Turk is so terribly ferocious in his exams. He just takes especial delight in plucking people? and here the youth sighed and began to amuse himself by chopping a hole in the ice with his skate. ttWell, if you have had a hard day, I have had one, too, said the girl. uThis morning, when I least expected it, I was called down to The Curiosity Shop; to answer up to something that I had never done at all. iiCuriosity shop! said the boy. WWhere is that? tiOh, donit you know. Well, you know the preceptress has gone off on so many chases after curios and the unique, as she says, that she has quite a stack of them now, and has them all arranged just so in her little parlor. Whenever we have done anything so very wicked, for instance, talking to a boy out one of the parlor windows, she invites us to come down to look at the curiosities. Well, she began to scold away, and all because the little police- man saw me stuff some' bread and butter into a box and carry it up stairs at supper time, Then when I went over to the library to read this morning I commenced talking about the last theme that the instructor of rhetoric handed back for me to do over again, and I guess that I must have got quite excited, for, would you believe it, Miss Librarian came along and said if I did not keep quiet she Would be forced to expel me from the library. Then she went back to help the professor of drawing find a book. I wanted her to find an article for me, but I knew there would be no chance for me to get any attention until Prof. S. had been sent off happy With a book. Then 1 went up to the bookkeeping room, and one of the professors actually told me that I could not keep books for a Iive-cent peanut stand. Or was it a pink lemonade stand. I forget just now. Just because I put seventy-three cents in the dollar line, and it came out $72.27 too much, and Prof. Short Doc. Cleans H cotse. worked on it over an hour. and at last I. not he, found the mis- take, and the poor little man began to fret and fume, and stamp around like everything until at last I grew afraid and fairly hew down the hall for my life And then, this afternoon, I thought I would be so very smart and call off a girlis name in calisthenics, and I got caught, and Prof. Acrobatic made me take drill in two periods. I thought I would die and there was that horrid man bouncing around on the hour like a rubber ball and just laughing in his sleeve at me. iiOh, dear. And then the girl heaved a sigh and the boy commenced again. IiYes, and if it wasn't for that old veteran of the Spanish-American war who has a terrible habit of going around at night trying to hear if people are blasv pheming instead of studying their lessons, I wouldnt have so many troubles as I have now. Next year I am going down town and stay there, too, and then I wont get into so many scrapes. Oh, dear, sighed the boy. uLetfs go home, said the girl. and throwing their skates over their shoul- ders they made their way to Vadis Hall, where the usual bountiful supper was awaiting them.

Curtain rises slowly to the pensive strains of nGrampais Teeth Are in the Hen-Houseft In the foreground a handkerchief lies on the floor. Handkerchief bears the initials B. C., and is of the typical feminine type, ten square inches of lace and two square inches for a cold in the head. General appearance of the handkerchief would indicate that the initials are a date rather than a monogram. As the music ceases, Bernice Cholmondely glides gracefully into view and slows up beside the radiator. She has the straight-front- tower-of-Pisa walk and her hair is in imminent danger of extinguishing her right eye. After a moment, her glance rests lightly and airily upon the handkerchief. She executes a physical culture bend and gently but firmly grasps the bit of lace. Upon examining it closely she gets rid of a glittering smile which discloses the fact that her front teeth would assay about 18 karats if the fillings were real and not Gilterino, which looks like gold, wears better, and comes to about half as much per cavity. tHer back teeth are plugged With zincJ Of this the audience Wots not. She lays the handkerchief on the radiator, picks up her books and does a Forodora Sextette exit. During the' latter part of this thrilling climax, Levi MeGinnis, the handsome hero, appears at the top of the stairs and, catching sight of his idol below, strikes an attitude. When Bernice vanishes, Levi, the, horrible half-back, leaps jauntiiy over the banisters and lands on the back of his neck on the radiator. The radiator is utterly ruined, but Levi calmly picks himself up, presses the handkerchief passionately to his lips and then places it tenderly in his upper vest pocket with his fountain pen and the memorandum book advertising Phidias Lincolnis Mineral Com- pound. tGood for whatever you think is the matter with youJ CURTAIN.

After gossiping about home and friends for an hour we discovered I it was dinner time. With some doubts in my mind, yet determined to make the most of the situation, I took him to the dining hall. We were escorted by the little policeman to the ttguest tablet in B. dining room, familiarly known as the Wood- shedi Quite bashful, we remained silent and are not to blame, thot we heard and saw what follows:e In the northwest corner of the room, next to Mrs. Shortls omcial desk, was a large round table surrounded by silent preps. eagerly devouring hash and prunes. A similar table was in the southwest corner, from whence occasionally emanated the sound of a familiar joke which recalled the memories of our earliest childhood. Next it on the east was a small table equally uninteresting, while at the corner table, large enough for six, we saw only Clara Morgan in an environment apparently suitable to the propaga- tion of the Campbellite faith. However, in the northwest corner we beheld a large table, vacant as yet, which much aroused our curiosity. While we wondered for whom it was reserved, Miss Swaid entered and took a seat at the north side. She was closely followed by Professor Glintedast. Conversation ensued. ttl wish something were done to put an end to the insufferable insolence 0f the Celts in this institution? ttWhat have they done now? uThey have been casting slurs on me and my department. If it had not been for Mr. Lykken, who is certainly a great poet, as well as the greatest philosopher amongst the students, the insults to Norwegian and Icelandic associations would have remained unavenged. . ttNoble boy! yet I know another who would have done even more for the honor of Iceland had his duties in the depot not been so arduous. Good evening, Prof. Mathe- maticus. Good evening, Miss Dahllik. Have you heard from your farm lately? uYes; everything is going wrong. The flax is unthreshed, the machinery and buildings are not taken care of, and the horses are dying from neglect.

I have not seen him for at least twenty minutes; I cant imagine where he has gone. No? replied Prof. Mathematicus, ttI have not seen him. Will you have some teaiw HIf you please. Are you going to the play tonight, Miss Dahllik? I see Prof. Hismit and Miss Swits are goinge-here she comes now. Have you seen my hubby anywhere lately? You havenit! I wonder where he is. What a pretty dress you have on? HOh, this is one which, with a thousand dollars worth of other clothes was in the trunk that was nearly lost when I came here last Slimmer. This is the dress I wore when I took the long bicycle ride with Pat OJDea, the Wisconsin foot- ball captain. When we took that ride Oh, good evening, Prof. Hismitfi ttHave you seen my hubby anywhere, Prof. Hismit? ttYes, he will be here soon; he was charging some item against the forfeit fee of the Biology class. The young professor has taken his seat beside Miss Swits, and said: ttI have just received that beautiful song that we were talking about the other day, and we can practice it in the Cottage tomorrow- The rest of the conversation was not audible to us. 212 Oh, heres my hubby! I thought youtd never come. Where have you been all this time? What have you been doing? ttOh, a thousand things! I went over to the power house to help Hamm fix up the cylinder head, then I went over to the Cottage to make the girls shut their windows and found they had broken up all the furniture in the parlor. In the Science Hall I had to see that the Biology class had not taken off any more storm windows, and, would you believe it, every light in Budge Hall is left running in full blast when they go to supper. Some of these fellows have not as much brains as a monkey. Pass the butter, Mrs. Rf During this speech the other members of the faculty belonging to this table entered and took their seats. ttAllow me to help you to some potatoes, Miss Dahllik, said Prof. Glindedast. ttThanks, said Miss Dahilik, then resuming her conversation with him and Miss Swaid. nYes, the poor porcupine was lost for two weeks; I found him at last this afternoon, dead! He had wedged himself in between a vertebra of the mastodon and Bumpus and starved to death. Poor thing! Rat-tat-tat. The Rector had entered to make an announcementeitllll ask your attention for a moment please. Those going to the play tonight must go down in the first train. The young ladies must write their names on the bulletin board in front of Mrs. Shortis door. The bus will run after the play for the accommodation of the young ladies. They must come back in the bus; the young men can walk. While speaking to you I wish once more to refer to the orange peelings. I spent a half an hour yesterday picking up bits thrown here and there in Davis Hall. Let us make a reform. Morality is the great part of religion, and you cant be moral and throw peelings everywhere. Let us attend to these little things. I hope I wont have to speak again on this subject. At the conclusion of this announcement conversation was resumed: Iill take some more bread, if you please, Dr. Teperson, said his wife. How many of you are coming to the Field recital tonight? asked Prof. Dustron. tIIt will be excellent. Prof. Field is an artist and I spent half the moneyI received for training the boys for the oratorical contest in getting the piano tuned properly. You should not miss thatf I have held days enough of my own, replied Mr. Pemehl. I have no time for such fads. Football and basket ball are of more importance. I am going to raise $200.00 on that exhibition next week, and anywhere from $50.00 to $500.00 on the meet next spring. We will soon have some money to devote to athletics? That is all very well? answered Prof. Dustron, but an institution with no love for music certainly amounts to little? tIThese things are all right in their places, but after all it is by the educational stand- ard of the institution that it is judged, and that is where our new system will make for us a. name. What do you think of it, Mr. Rorimsonfm said Prof. Queirs. HI think we ought to make a provision that no one would be con- sidered texcellent, unless he keeps a good note-book, broke in Prof. Teperson. nA student calnlt keep things in his head.

HW E ARE publishing a Junior Annual, and, as we want it to portray the past of our Alma Mater as well as her present, the Board of Editors have decided to invite you to contribute a sketch of student life in the early days way back in--we11, when you were at the University. Of course, the manners and modes of life of your generation, as we have caught occasional glimpses of them in conversation with you old-timers, seem wholly impossible to us modern men; but a short account of them may, nevertheless, prove entertaining reading to people who are interested in anything that is odd and old. He paused, and as he looked at me, his features assumed that musing, far-away ex- pression often seen on the faces of people examining mummies and skeletons in muse- ums. Whether I interpreted his musings correctly, I cannot say, but as I looked at him in turn. I fancied they were something like this: ttI, heir of all the ages, in the fore- most files of timeii-a junior in the same institution from which this old, last-century fellow graduated! Mimbile dictu! Wonderful, indeed, are the changes wrought by thee, 0 Time! I spoke never a word, but politely showed the young man the door, reserving any expression of my opinion of him and his generation for the ttsketch he and his class- mates had been so condescending as to ask me to contribute to this new-fangled some- thing called a Junior Annual, a thing never heard of in my time, and which I take to be some sort of a manifesto setting forth the wisdom and glory of the present Junior class. That expression of opinion I will, however, coniine t0 the remark that we nold-timers have Viewed with grave concern the effect of those so-called timodern improvements Which the regents and faculty have seen fit to introduce into the University since our day, on the none too suitable intellects of the youngsters of whom my visitor was a fair specimen. The sober truth is, that their heads have been completely turned by the sense of possession of all those twentieth century tteducational facilities with which the institution is now crowded, such as telephones, electric bells, dormitories with small bed rooms, and hot and cold baths in porcelain tubs. Their admiration for themselves is boundless; their contempt for the past, unlimited. They will give no heed to what I shall here set down. But others may find it not devoid of interest. In the period of which I shall Write, two buildings, only, constituted the University of North Dakota. One was the home of the young women and is in these days known as Davis Hail; the other was for the young men and one or two professors, and Contained, 216 besides. all the rest, residue, and remainder of the institution, including the janitor and the heating plant, and was then, as now, known as the umain buildingfi In this sketch we shall confine ourselves strictly to the facts of history, thoi we are now about to deal with events belonging to its very dawn, and shall leave untouched that legendary period, anterior to this, in which, tradition has it, there was but one building, the main build- ing, where the young men and all the other materials and elements making up the University, including all of the young women, dwelt together in peace and harmony. To attempt to winnow the kernels of truth from the chaff of fable which constitutes all of our knowledge of this far-away time, were, indeed, a perilous task for the veraeious historian. I shall not attempt it. As I stated, the young men lived in the main building on the third floor. But we did not, like our successors, live in little coops of rooms, singly or by twos, thereby foregoing one of the chief aids to the attainment of finished culture, constant and intimate association with our fellows. 0n the contrary, we dwelt. together in spacious sleeping and living rooms, each large enough to accommodate from six to twelve young men. Two of these large rooms have, on account of their great size and the studious and generally exemplary character of their inmates, become somewhat celebrated under the names of the HBull Pen and the ttRam Pasture, respectively. Both were on the top iioor of the main building. The Ram Pasture was on the south side of the hall, and was what is now Dr. Thomas claSS room. The Bull Pen was directly opposite, on the north side, but larger, occupying the whole of what is now the Commercial Room. At this juncture it is proper to explain how these two came to be. Let no one think that they were the result of chance or lack of means on the part of the state to furnish the students with smaller sleeping and living rooms. Far from it. On the contrary, they were partv-and an important one-of the educational system of those days. Their ex- istence came about in this way: The faculty of that distant time was Composed of wide-awake people. Through personal experience, most of them soon learned what a vast amount of un- tamed energy lies latent in the average prep and what a task it is to bring that energy under such control as to cause it to run in syllogisms and dig after Greek roots. One day it occurred to the pro- fessor in Physics, while conducting an experiment in Physics in the laboratory, that this wild energy of the prep, which usually manifested itself in an abnormal pugnacity, might, after all, be utilized in the process of the prepis cwn reclamation. The startling idea was none other than this: If the wild prep is turned loose, or rather shut up, for a time with a number of other preps, equally wild, the result must be, according to the law of physics, 217 that, after the first fearful clash of forces, each will tend to gradually subdue the other through the law of opposition of forces, or through friction, thus rendering the subject less dangerous and difficult to handle. In practice this idea resulted in the establishment of the Bull Pen and the Ram Pasture. The Bull Pen. being the larger, and therefore accommodating the greater number, and, being, besides, more strongly built, was the place into which the prep was first put. From this he would in the ordinary course of his evo lution pass to the Ram Pasture, and thence either into the wide world of men or to other parts of the building. It is true, of course, that some never got beyond one or the other of the first named places, until they graduated or left by request. But these were excep- tional cases. To show how admirably this system worked, and to contrast it with the namby pamby methods of the present, it will be best to trace the progress of the typical prep from the time he entered the institution until he graduated from the Ram Pasture, or if space does not permit, until he left the Bull Pen. Arrived at the outskirts of the campus, and after reading the name of the institution in raised letters over the gate, he would proceed straightway to the Presidents oflice in Davis Hall tthen Ladiesi Halli, for thus he was directed to do by the catalog, which he held in his hand. Here he would be met by the President and be required to remain seated for about ten minutes before being spoken to. This plan was mutually advan- tageous, as it gave the prep time to become properly impressed with the greatness of the President; and the President time to size upii the new arrival. At the end of this period the President would begin to talk at and over the prep, using certain graceful movements of the hands and arms to emphasize his words, which were spoken with great delibera ation and in a low voice, and none of which were in the least intelligible to the prep, and the meaning of which he never even pretended to understand until he became a Junior, tprovided, always, that he was not Wired sooneri, when, having explored the whole field of knowledge and knowing all things, he declared that What he had heard was mostly quotations from HMacbeth and UParadise Lost? Whatever may be the fact as to that, the effect on the prep was always the same. This treatment was calculated to subdue him and render him temporarily tractable, with a view to the accomplishment of two important ends, namely, making him pay his incidental fee and his board for a month in advance, and conducting him safely to his appointed place in the institution. It never failed to do what was claimed for it by its admirers. It always threw the prep into a sort of hypnotic state But to proceed. After the accomplishment of the first and most im- portant object, and while the influence was still strong upon the newcomer, the President, all at once descending into intelligible speech, and assuming an air of cordiaiity, would invite him to inspect the university. This proposal producing no visible effect on the dazed faculties of the prep, and silence being taken to signify assent, the two would immediately leave the Presidents office and proceed at a brisk pace to the main building. This reached, they would enter by the west basement door and hurry upstairs with the greatest possible speed permitted by the dignity of the President and the size of the prepis country shoes, until, after climbing innumerable flights, would find themselves on 218 the third iloor. Here various strange sounds and noises Fl $11.43 in Rnceibvs. would greet. their ears, to analyze or distinguish which but little time was given to the prep, for to rush him from the head of the stairs across the hall, open the door of the room from which came the wildest noises, thrust him in head first, and slam the door again, was the work of but an instant for his masculine and skillful conductor. The prep is now in the Bull Pen and his education has begun. To record one-tenth of the impressions produced Pvcu on his mind and body here would require a whole Junior One 0; LazsensCWW Mhmgev Annual. The reader must be content with one or two typi- cal incidents of the new students life, and may, if he likes, draw on his imagination for the rest. But from what follows it Will be plainly seen how beautifully the theory of opposition of forces worked in practice and how lamentable it is that it has been abandoned in modern times. When the writer was an inmate of the Bull Pen, there was one student there who suffered from the not uncom- mon delusion that he was a great orator in embryo. In and out of season he would jump on one of the two big pine tables and harangue the crowd. At first his outbursts met with applause, but as they grew more and more frequent and violent, sometimes occurring in the middle of the night, they came to be regarded as a public nuisance by the rest of us, and were, in fact, declared to be such, at a formal meet- ing of the inmates, with but one dissenting vote, that of the 3 victim of the delusion. To ass the resolution was eas , p y One at X'xlwdS HWLE gyms enough; to abate the nuisance was a different matter. Argu- ment, persuasion, threats, corporal punishment, were all i... tried in vain. The case grew steadily worse. Now, what fW'lillfydg'if would the faculty, operating directly, have been able to do H X NW in this instance? We now set ourselves to study this case . closely, and it was observed that the patient always jumped .. 5 ex K i on one of the tables, never on the other. That gave us a hint as to the proper remedy. That table must be de- stroyed; and it was so decreed. Accordingly, the next time the ravings of our poor companion disturbed our slumbers we all jumped out of bed. and rushing simultaneously to , 300W ward the table, precipitated ourselves upon it with all our k beif Daiwltw u s, combined forces, and smashed it to pieces, the orator 12w +us1' 0V+i5T+h tumbling down, like a defeated politician, amid the ruins 219 of his broken platform. This with a cold dip in our tin bathtub in uNo. 333i cured this obstinate case and the young man was soon after promoted to the Ram Pasture. A second case was that of an over pious prep who each night persisted in saying his prayers aloud before going to bed. We had, of course, no objection to his form of reli- gious belief, the institution being non-seotarian; but he would pray, not only for the welfare of his own soul, but for the soul of every individual member of the Bull Pen, besides, and in his prayers he would go into such irrelevant details regarding our spiri- tual shortcomings-exhibit, as it were, a daily inventory of our misdeeds and frailties to Providenceethat the point was soon reached where our patience was exhausted and we insisted that he leave us out of his orisons, if he must, indeed, pray aloud, or at all. But he was obdurate and the praying continued. A11 milder remedies on our list having failed here, as in the other case, we decided that drastic measures must be resorted to if the traditional peace and quiet of the Bull Pen were not to be destroyed. So the next time that the would-he missionary to the heathen raised his voice in our behalf, we all, at a premeditated signal, threw our socks at his head, having previously made each pair into a neat ball. The effect on our pious brother was all that could be desired-in fact, a little more at first. But he soon revived, and ever after, if he implored the divine wrath on our heads, did so in silence, in his heart only. Space will permit the recital of but one more incident in our school life, the rise and fall of iiRags Out. It was before the day of gongs and electric bells. To indicate to the occupants of the main building that a meal was ready to be served, the waiters were wont to pin a table napkin to the curtain on the south Window of the dining room. This was always a welcome sign and never failed to call forth demonstrations of joy. At iirst we gave utterance to our delight in any kind of a yell varying with the temperament of the individual and the condition of his stomach. The napkin could be seen best from the windows of the Bull Pen, so it was customary to place a look-out there to watch for its appearance. As soon as he saw it, he would invariably make some sort of incoherent exclamation and bound out of the room, the rest following. One day dinner was late. The usual time passed by and no report came from the look-out, so, getting impatient, most of us crowded to the windows, each one trusting none but his own eyes to discover the precious emblem. At last it appeared. Each gave his own peculiar war-Whoop, and one gave voice to a new yell that even amid the din and hurry caught and held the attention of all. The Ragls Out, he shouted. What could be more appropriate? The very thing! It was immediately adopted by the entire student body, including the young women, as a sort of college yell, to be used, however, only at meal time. Regularly thereafter, three times a day, as often as the sign appeared in the window, tiRag's Out! would ring out loud and clear from a hundred lusty throats. But poor ttRag's Out! was short lived. It died, a Victim to the monster, Improvement, and his twin brother, Progress. Its death marks the transition from the old to the new order of things. The new Prexy sealed its death warrant; a brazen gong in the hall on the first floor, outside Professor Macnies 220 room, took its place. The yelling of hRaghs Out!n was forbidden under the pains and penalties of Tack your trunk and get out? Poor, dear, old hRaghs Out! Thy clarion notes are no longer heard in those halls of learning, but how thy sweet cadences still linger in the halls of memory!

Although we naturally take some of the praise ourselves, we feel sure that your firm deserves the greater share, for not only the way the book was gotten up but for the printing of each copy, as every one of the five thousand copies was perfect. We wish to thank you for the courteous treatment we received from your hrm while the book was being published, and to congratu- late you on your correspondence system, which made it possible to handle a job of this magnitude so easily.
