Iowa, the first free state from the Louisiana Purchase, though young, had been none the less patriotic. At Shiloh, Vicfcburg, Atlanta, to the Gulf and to the Sea” her sons had borne Old Glory and when all was over thousands of children were father- less. No place in all her blooming prairies was too good or too beautiful, so here, on forty acres, beside the Cedar, Iowa in J868 erected a home for her soldiers' orphans. Where is the student, proud of his native state, whose heart does not glow with a feeling of reverence as he walks beneath the shadow of old Central Hall, or within her walls stops to meditate on the noble cause for which she was built and which she has served?” Those same four walls which now resound with the blow of the mallet, the pounding of the hammer, the bus of electric machinery, which in the years from J890 to 1903 reechoed the com- mands of the cadet captain and the tramp, tramp of the boys in drill, then from 1869 to J876, gave back peals of College Hospital. Formerly President � Cottage. 1890 laughter and merry voices of children at their meals. Old Room A was the place of prayers and of struggles with lessons. On third floor were the store rooms where every- thing from starch to ginghams was on hand, and above this was the great, dark attic where the children always loved to play. Higher yet in the tower hung the same old bell which now calls the training school pupils to their les- sons. In the words of P. M. Shaffer let us say, “Blessings on thee, old Central Hall.” The time had now come when two homes for soldiers orphans could well serve all needs, so the one at Cedar Falls was to be vacated. A few men in Iowa had watched and studied the new movement in education which had resulted in the establishment of a Normal School at Remis, in France, in J6 4, at Halle in J697, in Prussia in J735, in Massachusetts in 1839 and then in neighboring states. In this vacated building these men saw Iowa's opportunity. Mr. E. G. Miller, of Waterloo, proposed the bill in the sen- ate of the Fifteenth Legislature creating and locating the Iowa State Normal School. The fight was a hard one; dissension, criticism or indifference seemed the heritage of the new school. Governor Kirkwood signed the bill which passed the Sixteenth Legislature, and appointed the first board of directors who received the building and property belonging to the Soldiers Orphans’ Home at Cedar Falls. On June 7, 1876, Prof. James C. Gilchrist, of Mason Administration Building. 1896 City, was chosen as principal of the Iowa State Normal School. The board met again on July J2th and chose the faculty: Mr. Moses W. Bartlett as professor of Ancient Languages, Mr. D. S. Wright as professor of Mathematics and English, and Miss Frances L. Webster, professor of Geography and History. Later Mr. E. W. Burnham was secured to teach Music and give lessons on the one piano and few organs owned by the institution. Letters were now sent to county superintendents authorizing them to hold examinations for those desiring admission to the school. On Tuesday, September 6, 1876, the school opened. The faculty received the students in Room A, devotional exer- cises were led by the principal and enrollment by Profes- sor Bartlett concluded the work of the forenoon. After dinner came the recitations in which faculty and students alike participated and to Professor Wright was granted the privilege of hearing the first What is grammar? Can you just imagine how he asked it and then set his lips in that line which, while it demands a good answer, at the same time destroys all possibility of there ever being one? Such was the beginning—one building in which all lived, studied and recited, four professors and twenty-seven stu- dents, most of whom had been teachers. Many present-day customs date from the school's be- ginning. The first Sunday evening, September (1, J876, Auditorium Building Mr. Gilchrist led a song and prayer service at the request of some students. These students had gathered in Room A with families of the principal and steward, other students and employes. So began the Sunday evening service which later was merged into that of the Christian Associations. On December 1st the Seniors gave their first literary enter- tainment and opened up the way for the organization of the Philomathian and Alpha societies. The first school paper bore the name, “The Students’ Offering,” and was edited by the literary societies. Just how prominent this paper should be made seemed to be a question for some time. At first one edition came out each term, then five editions per school year and later two editions each term. We are told that the spirit of “Mr. Gilchrist’s School was earnest and willing work. We have no record of the recitations these students made, their names tell us little of what they knew and thought, but literary and commence- ment programs do show us the topics on which they at times grew eloquent. So let us look at them. From a program for December J, 1876, we may read, “Life Thoughts,” “The Teacher the Nation’s Hope,” “Great Men Who Were Bachelors,” and “I Am Content,” all of which seem to say, “This one thing I do.” The commence- mcnt program for June, 1878, shows a swing in a direction more natural to human nature. Men no longer vow to be bachelors; women no longer assure us they are content in spite of such avowals, but they pour forth their inmost con- victions through such topics as “Safety Lies in a Medium,” “Reason and Faith,” “Triumphs Through Adversity,” and “National Instincts.” The commencement program for June, 1879, with its laconic, all-inclusive subjects, “Truth,” “Science,” “Scales,” “Clouds” and “Keys” presents an orig- inality far removed both from the radicalism of '77 and the moderatism of '78. The winter term in 1878, as were the later terms,, was announced by large posters on which we may read these facts: A Large Faculty of Experienced Teachers. Boarding, room, heat, light—only $3.15 per week. Free tuition for teachers. Others admitted at $2.00 per month. One hundred and twenty-seven students enrolled in Fall Term. In the annual report at the close of the school year in 1881, Principal Gilchrist announces that the school has reached its capacity and that laboratories, assembly, recita- tion and dormitory rooms and a model school are the most pressing needs. When a bill passed the legislature and a second building was being planned the graduating class asked to be allowed to have “Class of 1882” on the corner- stone. So great was the joy of the board, however, that it reserved for itself this honor. The appropriation fell short of the needs, citizens of Cedar Falls came to the rescue, teachers and students subscribed for frescoing the chapel and finishing the society rooms on fourth floor and great was the rejoicing on all sides on that day of dedica- tion, June 8, 1883. The principal's children with those of the neighborhood made up the personnel of Miss Ella Miller's Model School, occupying rooms “11” and “13” on second floor. The announcement bulletins for the follow- ing term read: Well Equipped Model School. Two Great Imposing Structures. A great school enrolling between three and four hundred students. The first decade was drawing to a close. The number of graduates had varied from four the first year to its high- est number, thirty-seven, in 1882, and to nineteen in 1886. As early as 1879 notices had been sent to county superin- tendents announcing graduates as candidates for positions and up to 1886 of the 177 graduates, 166 had taught since graduation, and only three of the eleven failed to teach from inclination. In the ten years Mr. Gilchrist had “changed sentiment from indifference to interest and from hostility into willingness to give the school a fair trial.” The second administration began on July 29, 1886, when Mr. Homer H. Seerlcy assumed his duties as princi- pal. There were no ceremonies, no assurances, no promises, but “the infusion of new blood gave new vigor” and soon a spirit of harmony and of effective work prevailed. With a new leader, of course some changes were made. Graduation from the beginning had depended on success- fully passing an examination given by the board of exam- iners and records show that sometimes at least seven appearances of the Waverly or La Porte bands were needed at the commencement exercises to relieve the candidates for graduation from the strain of those hours. Thus gradua- tion made on recommendation of the faculty rather than examining board was a welcome innovation. Provision was also made whereby an examination for state certi- ficates was held annually at Cedar Falls for benefit of stu- dents completing courses. Authority in the management of their respective departments was transferred to the pro- fessors. New courses were planned, definite degrees were settled on and diplomas sent to all former graduates, and the courses were made to conform with laws of the state and to meet needs of such students as wished to continue their courses elsewhere. From this time until the present the progress had been both in organization and expansion. In 1887 the Y. M. C. A. was organized and soon afterward the Y. W. C. A. Laboratory and Gymnasium Miss Emma Ridley (now Mrs. Colgrovc) and Miss Sarah Peters returned from a convention very enthusiastic regard- ing Bible study. A class was begun in Mr. Seerlcy's office and when his duties no longer allowed him to lead it, they willingly did so until the following year when Professor Loughridge took up the work. At this time. J888, when the faculty consisted of ten instructors, the title “President was adopted. This year also marks the beginning of musi- cal organizations. Miss Julia Curtis formed the Cecilian Club of sixteen ladies and the I. S. N. S. Glee Club was formed of fifteen young men, among whose names appear those of the four Fullerton boys. President Seerley and his family up to this time had rooms on second floor of South Hall and took their meals in the general dining room in North Hall. The President's Cottage being ready in J890 the family moved in. Fifty men at the beginning of this year petitioned for military drill, the petition was granted and the work given over to Professor Bartlett. The following year military drill was made a requirement of all able-bodied men for a maximum period of three years. This action necessitated more room for the regular school work, so the boarding department was closed. The old dining room became an armory, drill room and gymnasium; the old kitchen became a music hall, and the dormitories became recitation rooms. New movements seem to occur regularly each two years and development of old ones on alternate years. In 1892 forty men declared themselves an athletic association and others wanted to start a band. Old instruments were borrowed, two new ones were purchased and the first ap- pearance was made on Memorial Day when the Iowa State Normal Band headed the cadet corps in the procession to the cemetery. In 1893 the Normal became a member of the State Oratorical Association and with such members as Ida Fescnbeck, Forest Ensign, H. E. Blackmar and Percival Hunt in the local organization she held her place for three years. In 1894 football was inaugurated and a special pri- mary course begun. In 1895 the Euterpcan and Choral societies, the orchestra and mandolin club were organized. In 1896 Professor Loughridge was permitted to hold a sum- mer term for Latin teachers. The following year all departments were allowed to hold a summer session, but the board did not assume this term as a part of the regular work until 1899. Though the Administration Building had been com- pleted in January, 1896, and facilities greatly increased in every way, by 1897 the school seems again to have grown to its full capacity. Travel through the bridge —which connected North Hall and South Hall — at chapel hour had to be rigidly systematized in order to avoid crushes in the halls and the crowded condition of the chapel raised the Seniors to an elevated position on the rostrum. This year is marked by changes in many ways. The model school of the early days had not been a success even for observation purposes, so had been abandoned and the schoolroom furnished for library Durooses until the comple- tion of the Administration Building in 1896. Later the Training School was organized and in 1897 Mr. Bender came to take charge of it. The one-year special primary course was now dropped and a two-year course provided. The young men formed a debating league. Mr. Carpenter, of Illinois, a landscape gardener, surveyed and platted the campus. The library was improved by the erection of the steel racks and the purchase of new desks for the librarians. A fir flag pole was purchased in Washington, erected on the campus and from that time our flag has waved over the school. It was in 1897, too, that Mr. Gilchrist, the first principal, died at his home in Laurens, Iowa. The catalog of 1900 shows an increase of the faculty to forty-two in number and the first appearance of the names Miss Simmons, Mr. Knoepflcr, Mr. Gist and Mr. Geiser. The Auditorium Building was now completed, thus making provision for fifty class rooms in all and six society halls. This condition allowed extension in some departments and the addition of new ones; now German was put in under the direction of Mr. Knoepflcr, and Physi- cal Training under the direction of Mr. Affleck. This was followed by the new departments of Training in Industrial Arts and Kindergarten in 1904 and Home Economics or Domestic Science in 1906. The agitation over the state for other Normal Schools had never ceased. In 1902 measures to this end were again tried and the struggle between com- petitive cities probably prevented the passage of such a bill. The Twenty-sixth General Assembly instead passed a bill providing for the levy of one-tenth of a mill tax for a certain period to raise revenue to be employed in the erection and equipment of additional buildings for this school. In accordance with this the Gymnasium was erected in 1904, later the Science Laboratory and with the renewal of the tax provision was made for the new Library which is the most beautiful, as well as the most expensive building on the campus. Just now the legislature has accepted the plans for the Training School Building and very soon sod will be broken west of the Library and the work on it begun. It will not be an ordinary high school building, but will be especially adapted in every way to its peculiar needs as a practice school of a great institution. The appropriation of between one hundred twenty-five and one hundred fifty thousand dollars places it second only to the Library in cost. This school has celebrated many special days, but no other has had so much meaning to hundreds of Normal students as did the celebration of the Bartlett anniversary day. All were glad to do honor to this grand oTd man who New Library had been with the school Iro n its beginning and who on this day in the spring of 1905 was completing the fiftieth year of service as a teacher. On July 1, 1909, a new period of history began. The old board of trustees held their last meeting and closed the records for the thirty-three years in which they had man- aged the affairs of the Iowa State Normal School. Many were loth to bid “Old Normal good-bye. Many did not object to the “ite if it were “Normalite. And yet it was with hope for a larger future that they greeted the new State Board of Education and bade welcome the Iowa State Teachers' College. Her graduates may now wear the “cap and gown with all its significance and hold their places on equal rank with graduates of other colleges of the state and country. We are proud of our school. We do not boast of the number on the faculty, the number of students, the number of departments, nor would we belittle one department to add to the reputation of another. The success of our school has and will always depend on the work as a whole, and so we rejoice with success in every part of it. Are you a Normalite? Do you remember the night Maxy tied a string to the old bell, and while it clanged the students gathered and stood huddled together fearing, they knew not what? Do you remember the Bible on the Chapel stand and the time Mr. Pattee gave it back to the school? Were you here in 1903 and did you climb to the top of the new smoke stack and look out over the fields of the five counties? Do you remember when the boys had their gun drills and then when the order came to shield their swords? Were you a member of the Ladies' Band and do you still have the white suit and red tie? Yes, and don't you regret the passing of the good old days when each student actually passed examinations and earned his State Certificate, when he wrote a thesis on some wonderful subject to be bound and stored in the library, when he mounted the chapel platform to voice the convictions of his soul and to confound his audience? Those old days were good days, but so are the present ones. If you are an Alumnps, come home in June. No Normalite need feel strange at the Iowa State Teachers' College, for is not “Old Dan still in his accustomed place? Of course, you want to see our new buildings, the library and the presi- dent's home. You want to meet again the old friends. You want to renew the old memories and to join with is in showing our love and loyalty to this, the greatest school of its kind, the Iowa State Teachers' College.

Briefly summarized, the science of education includes: (J) Psychology, which must always serve as a basis of the principles and methods of teaching; (2) Method, as a means and a guide in teaching and in making effective the principles and laws derived from psychology; (3) Didactics and School Management, which seek to adjust the agents, conditions and factors of the school so that they shall all co-operate effectively in the instruction and training of the child; (4) History of Education, to bring the student into sympathetic appreciation of the world's great teachers, so that he may catch something of their ideals, enthusiasm and self-sacrifice; (5) Supervision, or the theory of organiz- ing and managing a system of schools; (6) Principles of Education and Philosophy of Education, which deal with the great underlying doctrines of education, with the phases of human development both individual and social, man's place in nature, and his duty and destiny in the light of our present knowledge; (7) American Education, dealing with the social, communal, practical, and political relations of the school as found in the United States. Besides the regular work in these courses, several lines of elective study are offered. The following publications have been issued either col lectively or by individual professors of the department: J. Studies in Education. 2. The Making of a Teacher. 3. A Guide to the Teacher's Mastery of Texts. 4. Nature Study and Related Literature. 5. The Teacher and the School. 6. Stories and Poems with Lesson Plans. The department maintains a Principals' Club during the summer school and a Teachers' Club in the other terms of the school year. Through institute work, educational lectures, and addresses on various phases of our social, economic, literary and religious life, the members of the department keep in close touch with the educational needs and ideals of our rapidly progressing American civilization.

Department of Mathematics N ORDER to meet the needs of a school like ours it is necessary that a department of mathematics be organized on a somewhat dif- ferent basis from that which is adequate for schools which do not have for their purpose the training of teachers. Teachers of mathe- matics must have not only a broad and liberal training in subject matter, covering many phases which may be omitted in a course for general purposes; but also a certain ikill in recognizing the vital parts of the science and presenting them in such manner as to enlist the atten- tion and interest of the student. The courses offered in the Teachers' College have been planned with a view to meet- ing this twofold need. The minimum equipment in mathematics of a well prepared teacher of the subject should include arithmetic, algebra, plane and solid geometry, college algebra, plane and spherical trigonometry, surveying, analytical geom- etry, differential and integral calculus, theory of equations, including determinants, and the history and teaching of mathematics. There should also be courses in theoretical and practical physics. All of the above courses are offered in mathematics. The courses in physics are provided for in that department. Special attention is given to the ele- mentary phases of mathematics, three-fourths of the courses now offered being of that character. This affords opportunity for students of all grades of preparation to continue their work without delay. While mathematics still maintains its position as an essential part of a liberal education, it is increasingly im- portant and growingly productive in Scientific discovery. The department is working out courses well correlated with each other, and also with physical science and the world outside the school, thus meeting the demand for a more effective preparation for practical affairs. Students are offered exceptional facilities for acquainting themselves with the modern movements in mathematical teaching and the practical bearings of the proposed reforms. It is the purpose of the department, through constant observation and experiment, to render the greatest possible service to the public schools of Iowa by providing teachers of mathe- matics well trained in their particular subject, and having enough largeness of vision to make their training meet the vocational demands of life. MATHEMATICS CLUB. This organization had its beginning in a Round Table held during the summer session of 909. The active mem- bership is composed of faculty members and students who have had at least one term of college mathematics; the associate membership consists of students who have had at least one year of secondary mathematics. Graduates of the school may also become members. Membership in the club is expected of students taking mathematics as a major. At least two meetings are held each term. The pro- grams have been varied and interesting and have served to awaken renewed activity in the work of the department. The meetings are open to all who may care to attend. Officers are chosen from the active membership. Those for the present spring term are: Miss Emma F. Lambert, President; Miss Addie Havens, Secretary; Professor D. S. Wright, Miss Laura S. Seals, Miss Harriet Schooler, Pro- gram Committee. Faculty CIIA11LB8 S. COUV. ii n . i. s t. c., i!-oo: is. s.. i Ipws: I.AUItA S. SKA I.S, I!, s D,, 1 7.

The course offered is three years in length, is of college grade, in that the same entrance requirements are imposed as for the regular college courses, and leads to a manual training diploma. A definite amount of work in education and other scholastic subjects is required and, in addition, such special courses as wood-working, wood turning, sheet- metal work, primary handwork, efehvntafy handwork, mechanical drawing, manual training :methods and organ- ization and economics of manual training.' • • ' • The equipment provided for carrying on this work is excellent, and sufficient for the purpose. A number of new wood-working machines have just been installed, com- prising a double arbor circular saw bench, 32-inch band saw, J 2-inch jointer, power grindstone, 7 -horsepower electric motor, and footpower mortiser. These machines add greatly to the scope and interest of the work. Other equip rhVnt will be added as conditions demand. A student • « tisfactorily completing a course in this department should'.bc qualified to fill successfully any ordi- nary manual training position. I’KOK. PKTBRSOX. M. A.. 11 07. Iowa. ln� trnrlor In Government. Department of The chief aim in the study and teaching of government is to give to the student sound notions of political morality. Good citizenship is the result of intelligent thinking and wise acting. Good government is the result of two forces— intelligent citizenship, and an active interest in the affairs of the community. Intelligence without activity is little better than enthusiasm without intelligence. A careful study of civil government in its various phases not only makes better citizens and voters, but creates better moral conditions under which people live and work. The Department of Government offers courses of in- struction for teachers preparing for the various grades of public school work. Elementary courses are given in Iowa History and Civics and in the Gvil Government of the United States. These elementary courses are followed by courses in American Government, English Government and in the Government of European Countries.

This department aims to prepare teachers for teaching civil government in the grades and in high schools, and to strengthen teachers of history and economics by giving a broad basis for special study in those lines. During past years students interested in intercollegiate debating have found courses in government helpful to a clearer under- standing of questions under discussion. Of the debates thus far held with other institutions the questions discussed have been questions of government, or of government and economics. During the present year the students and teachers of these subjects have joined with the departments of Eco- nomics and History in the organization of the Political Science and Economics Club for the further study of impor- tant questions through the means of lectures and discus- sions.

Chemistry What marvels of sight and sound and odor rise before the past student of Chemistry as he hears the magic word Chem!” Beautiful colors and shades and tints, the popping of a flask as a mixture of incompatible gases explode within its walls, the aroma” of hydrogen sulfid or of potassium xanthogcnateornaphthylaminhydroshlorid wafted from some unoffending test tube—these and many others will remain among the memories of college life. And those hours in the model laboratories of the Teachers’ College Chemistry Department—how they flit before the mind as a pleasing panorama, though once accompanied by fear and trembling. The department has made substantial progress within the past twelve months. Its enrollment has increased over 50 per cent; a large amount of the most modern scientific apparatus has been installed; educational exhibits have 1C. V GRTOHBI.U it. A., I. s T. c. Instructor. Department been received from the leading food manufacturers of th. country; all courses now extend full college credit; and larger numbers of students are electing advanced courses, including several who are preparing for professional work in the subject. Throughout all branches the aim is ever toward better scholarship, broader conceptions of the world of matter, and fuller and more practical training for the teacher and the analyst. With remarkable strides the profession is forging to the front in the educational and commercial world. In its broader scope, the science is comprehended only by the maturer mind of the college and university student, but the day is dawning, is even here, when its value as a cultural and a practical study will place its elements in the curric- ulas of our elementary and secondary schools.

Department of Public Speaking and English Combined HE Elocution and Public Speaking Department of a school or college is important to that ex- tent to which it answers the needs of the stu- dent. For a timid, awkward, self-conscious student to grow into the power of self-posses- sion and self-expression is the answering of this need in a practical way. This training in oral expression, as well as interpretation, is worked out in a very successful way by the Elocution and Public Speaking Department of the Iowa State Teachers' College. The work done and the results accomplished seem to grow stronger each year. Some form of oral expression is re- quired in all the courses and the classes are always crowded with eager, ambitious students. From two to three hundred students take class work each term, while many more outside of class are constantly employed in some work of the department. The recitation, the drama, the debate, and the oration arc all given a prominent place in the life of the school; each of these is a grt wth which had its start in the Elocution and Public Speaking classes, and have found expression in the different literary societies and activities of the College. Through the influence of the department declamatory and oratorical contests have become a feature of the school and during the past year prizes have been offered in these contests, which has resulted in a keen, but friendly, rivalry. The faculty members of this department are teachers of long experience in their special line of work. Miss Bertha Martin, head professor, is a graduate of Columbia College of Expression, Chicago. After graduation she was a teach- er in that school for a number of years. Six years ago she accepted her present position. She not only has charge of the department, but has classes in elocution and dramatic work. The commencement play which is a yearly feature is the culmination of the regular dramatic class work. Miss Laura Falkler, assistant professor of elocution, is a graduate of the Kansas City School of Oratory. She has been a teacher of reading and elocution in the department for fifteen years and for the past year has also had charge of the declamatory contest. Mr. Barnes, professor of oratory, is a graduate of the Cumnock School of Expression, Northwestern University, Illinois. Before coming to the Teachers' College he was for five years head of the public speaking department at Cornell College, Iowa. Mr. Barnes has charge of classes in oratory, intercollegiate debates and the oratorical contests. These three teachers compose the faculty of the elocution and public speaking department, and their work speaks for itself. Many teachers sent out by this school have given their testimony as to the personal value of the work done in this department, not only in teaching them to better express themselves orally, but also in aiding them to know human nature, which gives the power of adaptability.

Waltz: WHn, We4b und Oceanic ___Nfrawi Physical HE GREATEST factor in human happiness to- day is, as it has always been, health; that condition of soundness that accompanies the proper activity of every one of the vital func- tions. Just as a chain is no stronger than its weakest link, so the human mechanism is no stronger than its weakest or most diseased aggregation of cells, be they of nerve, muscle, brain or gland. Science teaches us that Nature exacts a penalty for every infraction of her rules, while she heaps her blessings in the form of abundant and exuberant health upon those who observe them. Ignorance of these laws is not consid- ered a valid reason for their non-observance, as many lives can attest. The joy of living comes fullest to those who un- derstand these laws and observe them. Efficiency today presupposes a physical background, and more and more we are realizing the truth of the old Greek idea that a sound mind and a sound body arc inseparable, that one seldom exists without the other. The day will come when we shall look upon disease as a crime against Nature, a crime of ignorance or of negligence, and its suffering will be re- garded as Nature’s compensation therefor. The object of this department is twofold; the physical education of all the students themselves, and the preparing of certain students to go out and teach physical education. By physical education is meant the education of the phy- sical powers in habits of healthy and hygienic living. It embraces gymnastics, athletics, aquatics and lectures on hygienic topics and whatever else can be used to teach one the joy of right living. Our students come to us from all over Iowa. Their Education physical condition, of some of them, is a sad commentary to the fact that Iowa, like many other states, has neglected the physical welfare of her school children. Not only have we curbed the continual activity of our children, which is a fundamental of life, by compelling them to remain quiet- ly within school rooms for nearly a third of their waking hours, but we cause them to assume postures, through the use of ill-fitting school desks, that have a far-reaching effect, and a considerable majority of our students are vic- tims of one or more of the three common deformities: crooked spines, flat feet or constipation, because of the lack of physical vigor or tone to the whole system. So the necessity for physical education is readily seen, and the time in which this reformation of physical habits must be accomplished is entirely inadequate. The results, however, are evident in the lessening of absences, due to sickness, thus increasing the efficiency of student life. While Iowa is behind some other states in adopting an educational policy which includes the training of the phy sical powers of her school children, she is rapidly awaken- ing to its importance, and the school boards and patrons are already demanding that these ill effects be avoided, and that positive, active means be taken for the improve- ment of the physical welfare of their children. The de- mand for teachers of physical training who can provide for the physical welfare of the pupils, and who can advise hygienic and sanitary measures of value to a community as well as to the school, is constantly increasing. Iowa will soon take a front rank in this important phase of education as she has in others. R. F. S. Department of Physical Education R. F. SEYMORE. B. P. E. Director. MAKGl KITE HirsSEY.

History Department The last quarter century has witnessed great changes in the conception of history and in the methods of study and presentation. Demands are coming rapidly for teach- ers with a thorough equipment both in knowledge and ways of using it. While formerly the consideration of the problems in history teaching was limited mainly to those in connection with the secondary school and college, now attention is being given to those in the elementary school. The publication of the report of the Committee of Eight on ‘History in the Grades” has put into the hands of every teacher in this department of education a valuable guide. To such teachers, however, there comes with great force the necessity of preparation to meet the requirements of a course which in its scope as to material ranges through the whole field of history, and in its demands as to presentation speaks clearly for skill in story telling, power in directing study, and ability to create interest and excite sound judg- ments of men and events. The Teachers' College, where alone can the teacher for the elementary school find the opportunities for the best preparation, aims primarily to give in its history courses the work necessary therefor, while others are offered for those who desire to prepare for high schools. During one term of each year, at least, a special course is offered in which the problems confronting the teacher of history both in the elementary and the secondary school are considered. In conclusion, the department of history wishes to en- force this fact: that the day is not far distant when the demand for a thorough preparation for history teaching will be no less insistent than for any other branch of study, and therefore, the department aims to be able to meet this demand and to put into the field as history teachers only those well qualified as to knowledge, skill in presentation, and the personality making for absolute success. The English Department HE Department of English often gives instruc- tion to as many as 800 or 900 students at the same time. In the very nature of things the department is one of the most important, since a knowledge of the mother tongue is a neces- sary equipment for work in any line. The student who accomplishes the tasks expected of him must travel a devious path. In many cases he will confront early in his journey a certain Scotch lass who introduces him to word study and inspires him with love for many of the best things in life. The path leads many to recesses presided over by dignified successors of Kirkham and Pinneo, and they become grounded in the fundamen- tals of language. Their path next leads them past a half dozen alcoves where the student can have his choice of a guide to direct his steps in constructive English. After this the paths deviate often and lead in many different direc- tions. Some students seek the inspiration that comes from intimacy with the great American writers. Some follow the long path of English literature that leads through the centuries and become familiar with the great movements that have stirred the English-speaking people and the writers that have given us a clearer vision of life. Some of them take sidepaths that lead up the mountain recesses where they get a view of the novel, the growth of the drama, epic poetry, Shakespeare, and more modern mas- ters. Some follow an intricate path that leads back so far that they read Alfred, Caedmon, and Beowui'f in the orig- inal. Some follow another path leading up a rugged mountain side and soon they find themselves transformed into Websters, Clays, Gradys and Bryans. Some of them live over again the story of Caesar, Hamlet, Othello, Lear, Ophelia, Desdemona and Portia. Some of them fit them selves to go abroad and measure oratorical and forensic swords with other schools and they come back with laurel wreaths upon their brows—sometimes. Whatever path they start upon, they arc sure sooner or later to find a by- path that leads to a society hall unless they sidestep or get lost in the mazes of the journey. Within these halls they spend some of the most delightful hours of their journey and have some of their most helpful experiences. All paths lead to the English laboratory presided over by accommo- dating ladies who introduce travelers to the treasures of the past on the book shelves. So the English Department by its various activities seeks to fit the student for the highest usefulness in life and to open up some of the treas- ures that are a never-failing source of delight.

The Department of Economics For a long: time Economics was dubbed the “bread and butter sci- ence and was looked upon with disfavor by students and men of affairs alike as an impractical sub- ject dealing: only with theoretical discussions in regard to marginal utility, value, price and diminish- ing returns. But recent develop- ment in this branch of study has revealed the fact that few, if any, other subjects are so intimately connected with the practical prob- lems of life or so keenly intent upon developing individual ca- pacity and improving the general welfare of the community. Eco- nomics treats of the business of earning a living; how men work and obtain a livelihood. It endeavors to look at men's efforts in this undertaking, however, from the social as well as the individual point of view; it also endeavors to train men to consider the pub- lic need as well as private profit in their struggle to obtain the means for the gratification of their wants. The study of Economics, therefore, has for its object the abolition of the material poverty which now stifles the ambition and dwarfs the lives of millions of our fellowmen. It hopes to preserve the opportunity and to enlarge possi- bility for every individual to attain economic independence. To this end it endeavors to transform the passive negligent interest of individuals in political affairs into an active, aggressive one. It endeavors to develop a positive, ener- getic character in civic life to take the place of an indif- ferent one. In other words, it aims to advance the cause of good citizenship by attracting the attention of the indi- vidual and fastening it upon questions of political concern. In so doing it must encourage intelligent consideration of such public questions as the tariff, currency reform, re- strictive labor legislation, governmental regulation of public service monopolies and industrial corporations, taxation, and compulsory and industrial education. It must also inspire courageous activity in the effort of the public to reach a just and adequate solution of these problems. Probably no one in the community is sought with more eagerness or listened to with more openness of mind and heart than the public school teacher for an intelligent ex- pression of opinion on questions of public interest. Impar- tial in his attitude, earnest and courageous in his search for truth, and accurate and fair rather than contentious in the presentation of his conclusions and opinions, the teacher has won for himself a respectful hearing and is always as- sured of an earnest and attentive audience. How fitting it is then that students in the Iowa State Teachers' College should have an opportunity to study the subject of eco- nomics in order that they may become familiar with the nature and cause of the problems suggested in the fore- going paragraph and the present trend of public opinion in regard to their solution. For those who care to make an intensive preparation along this line, the study of economics offers possibilities for highly beneficial and profit- able employment. The state and federal governments are daily calling for college-trained men and women to serve as expert agents, and equally urgent is the demand of large industrial corporations for expert service of a similar nature. In the I. S. T. C. students and teachers are finding splendid opportunity for pursuing this line of study. The very best of library facilities are furnished here for under- graduate courses in this subject, and work in the allied sub- jects of history and politics is equally well provided for. The enrollment in this department has increased consider- ably during the past year and there are many indications of still greater growth. RKl-llKX McKITItlCK. A. B..

It is composed of students and members of the faculty who are working in the depart- ments of Politics and Economics, though its membership is open to others who are interested in these subjects. The object of the Lyceum is to give an added touch of vitality' and inspiration to the routine work of the class room through the personality of those who have conducted spe- cial investigation along these lines, or of those whose lives bring them into daily contact with some particular and practical phase of our civic and economic life. To this end Dr. B. F. Shambaugh, of the University of Iowa; Prof. J. V. Macy, of Grinnell College; Mr. Roger Leavitt, of the Cedar Falls National Bank, and Mr. W. H. Merner, Mayor of Cedar Falls, have been secured and have lectured on the following subjects respectively: “The Pioneer Movement With Special Reference to Iowa.” “The State as a Political Teacher.” “The Bank and the Community.” “Procedure in Iowa Courts.” A program was also given during the spring term by the members of the Lyceum. The officers for the year J9J0-S9Si are as follows: President, Dr. Chas. H. Meyerholz. Secretary, Prof. Reuben McKitrick. Treasurer, Lee Shillinglaw. The officers for the ensuing year will be: President, Prof. Reuben McKitrick. Secretary, Laura M. Bardwell. Treasurer, Harold Maynard. Domestic Science Department -M A ItY I.. TOWNSEND. B. A..

In J904 a special teachers’ course in Domestic Science was offered for the first time at the Iowa State Teachers’ College. At that time there was little demand for teachers in this line of work, and almost no pupils cared to take the course. In 1907 there was serious talk of dropping the work, but it was finally decided to give the department one more opportunity to prove its need for existence. That fall the work of building up the department began in earnest, and to the delight of all concerned, six young women came to prepare themselves to be teachers of Domestic Science. Let us pass over three years and take a survey of this department in the fall of 1910. It had outgrown its first quarters, one kitchen and a dining room, and so, when fifty-two young women appeared to enroll in the special teachers’ course, the State Board of Education ordered a new kitchen and dining room built onto the old kitchen. The work of building was pushed, and by November the new quarters were completed and equipped with all the modern conveniences. Up to the fall of 1910 the work in sewing had been done in connection with the Manual Training Department, but at that time, because of the large numbers of pupils who were required to take the work in sewing, it was im- possible for the Manual Training Department to care for the work, and the whole subject of Domestic Arts was transferred to the Domestic Science Department, which department will probably from this time on be more and more known as the Department of Home Economics. Miss Alice Heinz, one of the first graduates of the de- partment, came in the fall of J9I0 to take charge of the sewing and to assist with the other work. There is no kitchen laboratory in connection with the College Training School, therefore Seniors in the depart- ment have to get their work in practice teaching by teach- ing their fellow students who are taking cooking as an elective. At present there are forty young men and women taking this elective work in cooking. Fourteen young women have graduated from this special teachers’ course in Domestic Science. Most of these are now teaching. The roll call of states where they are employed includes Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas, Oregon, California and Iowa. This summer fourteen young women will finish the course and be ready to carry forward this work which is so rapidly being introduced into all our public schools. GEORGE W. NEWTON. AI.ISON F.

Natural Science Department A new era in the history of Natural Science in the Teachers' College will open when the department moves into its permanent quarters in the new library building. When the museum collections are set up in the spacious rooms on the third floor they will be more available and useful for class instruction than they have been in the past. In the wide area between the class rooms and laboratory a working museum of the more common mineral and type life forms for the use of classes in geology will be kept.- In the corresponding space on the second floor will be a working museum for the use of classes in commercial geography. There also, will be found the models built from the United States Survey topographic maps by the classes in advanced physiography. It is particularly appropriate that a teachers' college should make extensive use of the cimpler and more com- mon museum material grouped in various representative ways, since this simpler material could be obtained by so many of the public schools, did the teachers but care to make some effort in that direction. More complete equipment for the study of the biological sciences will be installed when school opens in the fall. A pond for the growth of aquatic plants is to be made on the south slope of the campus. This with the greenhouse, the tree nursery and the campus itself should furnish plenty of material for the courses in botany.

The Department of Training in Teaching NDER the present development of the college this department offers opportunity for obser- vation and practical application of principles of instruction and training in all grades of public school work. The school for children provides a place for every child from the kindergarten through the full high school course. Not only is all regular work the full high schpol course. Not only is all regular work offered, but a special school is organized in such a manner that any person'belated for any reason or desiring to con- tinue the study of common branches longer and not enter upon high school studies may have opportunity to do so in classes of his own age and degree of development. In this way every child and young person of ordinary capa- bility is able to find a place and the kind of work adapted to his needs and capacity. From the kindergarten onward the course is liberal, but not loose. Earlier work is constantly re-appearing in its higher function in later stages. Natural correlations en- rich, but do not encumber the course. In this way by prop- er adjustment of the class it is possible to accomplish in eleven years from the first primary the same amount of work that is usually done in twelve years. The first six years are very similar to any public school having a fairly liberal course. The seventh year becomes a transitional year in several respects. German is intro- duced. Concrete geometry and certain phases of mechani- cal drawing have a place. A course in English history is given as preparatory to the second approach to the study of American history. The study of English is shaped so as to classify what has been learned in the practical oral and written composition of the earlier years and to give a fair insight into grammatical structure and principles. Litera- ture and music begin more definitely to make their appeal to the higher emotions and ideals. The manual work takes more positive shape toward the industrial in bench work and sewing. In the eighth year by a combination of adjustment. adaptation to needs and aptitudes, and election differentia- tion in course selected distinctly appears. Another foreign language may be taken by some pupils. Certain phases of physics based upon the accumulated experiences of pupils of this age and for training in observational and thought processes and the enlargement of the language powers are given during a term of twelve weeks. This year furnishes an excellent opportunity for the careful recasting and clas- sifying and topical treatment of arithmetic. Simpler phases of algebra are studied about one-third of the year. The study of United States history is closed about the middle of the year and under the title of heroes of European history the great period of chivalry and feudalism is studied. English in the form of literature and composition is con- tinued. Throughout this year there is a continuation of the transition begun in the previous year and an adjust- ment to secondary conditions. By this treatment the gap between the grammar school and the secondary school does not appear. Also there is no sudden break in the manner of instruction introduced at any time. The pupil as natur- ally adjusts himself to high school conditions as he did from primary to grammar grade or from one grade to another in the grammar years. This adjustment comes about through selection and arrangement of materials and the adaptation of the processes of instruction and training so that there is a clearly related sequence between the work of the grammar years and that of the high school period. From the foregoing outline of work for pupils it is read- ily seen that advantages of training for all grades of teach- ers from kindergartens to teachers in accredited high schools are afforded. Also the special work gives oppor- tunity for teachers of household arts, manual training, drawing, penmanship, music, and other special subjects of public education to make application of their study of principles of education and teaching. With the prospects of a new and well equipped building soon to be provided for this department the outlook for the development of the work is especially promising. Library Department IVA HUNTLEY.

President..............................Elizabeth Lamberty Secretary and Treasurer.......................Earl Hodges Reporter...................................Allis Robinson One girl with a “bee in her bonnet’' let it buzz there quietly, casually hinting to two or three other B’s that something should be doing among the B. A.’s. A few more B's buzzed and finally all the B’s were busily plan- ning. With the sanction of President Seerley a meeting of i9U candidates for the degree of B. A. was called. The original idea was formulated into words, something in this wise: That the B. A.’s of the Iowa State Teachers’ Col- lege of i9Jf be organized into a club to be known as “The Cap and Gown.” This is one of the pleasant things that followed as a natural consequence in the wake of the change of name of the school. This club has the distinction of being the first of its kind, in number surpassing any other preceding class. It is anticipated by the originators that it will form a nucleus for a permanent organization of B. A.’s around which may cluster happy recollections of strenuous en- deavor. The direct purpose is to draw closer the ties of good fellowship through social functions and to incite greater pursuance of the college course. It is hoped that through this organization, our school may ultimately seek a broader culture and acquire new dignity and strength. Assuming this title and donning the cap and gown will ever remind us that we must endeavor to be men and women of qual- ity as we stand shoulder to shoulder with the graduates of other colleges and thus do honor and credit to our Alma Mater. The meetings have taken the form of informal recep- tions held at the homes of the various members. On every occasion dainty refreshments were served by the hostess. Entertainment was spontaneous. Not the least of these enjoyable events will be remembered the trip to Waterloo and the outdoor picnics. This year has witnessed many social pleasures which have strengthened the social spirit, besides leaving enchant- ing memories for future reflection.

Y. M. C. A OFFICERS. .............F. Russell Glasener ..................James Haynes ..................F. R. Mitchell President. Secretary Treasurer The school year of I9J0-J9JI has been a very gratify- ing: year for the Y. M. C. A. While one can look back over the year's work and see mistakes, yet he can also see much good that has been accomplished. The religious life of the association has been interrupted several times by social events that have proved very valuable in bringing new men into closer contact with the best things of college life, and has shown them that good, clean fun is the only kind of fun to have. (They have constantly had the re- ligious and moral sides of life presented.) The devotional side of the association work has been quite good. From fifteen to twenty men attended the morning prayer meet- ing every morning to “get right with God before begin- ning the day's work. Special meetings were held, at which time eleven men accepted Christ. The affairs of the association have been put on more of a businesslike basis. The finances have been greatly strengthened by a well-organized plan of systematic giving. Reports from the state department show that this asso- ciation has the best results of any association in the state this year. To those men who leave school this year the association goes with them, a long, useful, serviceable life, and to the new ones who come to school the association extends a most cordial welcome to them to join the association and the fellowship of good, clean, Christian men.

C A.'s of the leading colleges of the middle West have been sending delegates to the annual Y. M. C. A. convention, held on the shore of beautiful Lake Geneva, Wiscon- sin, about seventy-five miles northwest of Chicago and about fifty miles southwest of Milwaukee. Last year our College Association was rep- resented by Messrs. Cowan, Markle, Burney and Kirk- eteg. The convention began Friday evening, June J7th, and closed Sunday evening, June 26th. At this confer- ence were gathered nearly four hundred and fifty college men. It is notable that of this number almost one-third were from our own state. The purpose of this convention is to place every college in the middle West in touch with the great Christian movements among the young men, through the represen- tatives of the colleges. Any young man going through college can hardly afford to miss the opportunity of attend- ing at least one of these conventions. When we come in contact with such men as Dad” Elliott, Bishop McDowell, Dr. C. A. Barbour, Dr. T. S. Henderson and Dr. E. I. Bos- worth, we cannot help but be greatly influenced and ever afterwards live on a higher plane. Those who have attended the Geneva Conferences in years past remember with pleasure the inspiring music of the Association Male Quartette, as well as the splendid congregation singing under the direction of Mr. E. W. Peck, a member of the quartette. It is ten days of pleasure—an ideal summer outing, but at the same time a strenuous one. The forenoon of each day is spent in hard and earnest work, in Bible classes, mission classes and in listening to talks by such men as those who have been mentioned above. The afternnons are given entirely to recreation. As the camp is situated on the shore of Lake Geneva, the bathing and the boating are great.” Just beyond the camp, on the bluffs, near the famous Yerkes Observatory, is a baseball diamond and also a cinder track. In the camp there is a gymnasium and back of it are several tennis courts, so there is no lack of facilities for exercise. Contests in these different branches of athletics are held in the afternoons, between the states represented at the conference. Last year Iowa won first honors, with large margins, both in track and in water sports. For Iowa had on the track team such men as the famous sprinter, Wilson, of Coe College, and the long- distance runner, William Durey, of Des Moines College. The spirit of this conference is one of the good, practical fellowships. Young men cannot help but feel the vital importance of what it means to really live. Geneva is unequaled as a place for a young man to make a decision for his life's work. The personal talks along this line with the leaders of the convention are of more value, perhaps, than any other phase of the conference. In all these years few, if any, have come to the Young Men's Christian As- sociation Encampment at Lake Geneva who have not been bettered in body, mind or spirit. Gospel Team 1910-'ll Thomas Berger, Aubrey Grubb, John Kline, Richard Bagby Russell Glnscner, Fred Mitchell The Gospel Team HE PAST year has been perhaps the most act- ive one in the Gospel Team work since the beginning three years ago. During the year not only the regular Christmas campaign was carried on, but a second one during the spring vacation. The winter team was composed of Glascner (captain), Bagby, Berger, Kline, Grubb and “Dad” Mitchell, who conducted the music. The spring team, Berger (captain), Kline, Haynes, Hodges, with Hammerslcy to hold down the music. The first team visited Clarksville and the second, Dumont. In each town the teams were eminently successful, in fact, the teams from the Teachers' College arc among the very strongest of the state. The secret of the success of the teams are due to sev- eral causes, the excellent system of organizing, somewhat perhaps to the novelty, but above all to the spirit of prayer and the personal work. Here lies the key to the whole work—regular, earnest, decisive prayer and incessant work. The organization of the work is simple, but effect- ive; a thorough acquaintance with the town during the first two days, the morning prayer at nine o'clock, the rest of the day devoted to personal work and the nightly meet- ings led by one of the team. The Gospel Team work in the school is growing and becoming more effective. The plans are for a more ex- tensive work during the coming year than during the past Many of the old timers are leaving—Bagby, Berger, “Dad” —who have carried the work since its beginning. How- ever, the outlook is bright; there are others ready and waiting to take their place and we who are leaving have no fear for a larger and better year than any in the past ■H Y. W. C. A.

W The year J9J0-19JJ has been a progressive one for the Young Women’s Christian Association and now it is be- coming a greater factor in the religious and social life of the college than ever before. The membership has grown from 287 girls to 400 girls, including the many faculty members who have helped us by their interest and enthu- siasm. Our secretary, Miss Mary Porter, who was also with us last year, has given us the very best possible help in our association work and every girl in school will miss their beloved co-worker and friend when she leaves us to study in New York. The Campaign This year has been especially rich in that we have had the opportunity of having with us so many of the best workers and best talkers on religious subjects of the Young C. A. Women's Christian Association in this country. In Febru- ary was held a five days' campaign with Miss Conde, one of our national secretaries, as leader. The campaign was launched by a big St. Valentine’s dinner which was served to over 300 girls in the gym- nasium. The meetings following were held in the Audi- torium. Special music by Miss Childs, Miss Burney, Miss Cahoon and Mrs. Dubbert was greatly enjoyed and large crowds of college girls attended each night. Assisting Miss Conde in this series were Miss Marjorie Mclcher, of New York, traveling secretary for the Student Volunteer Movement; Miss Sheerboch, Y. W. C. A. secre- tary at Iowa Gty; Miss Jones, secretary from Ames; Miss Maud Corbit, our territorial secretary, and our own secre- tary, Miss Porter. These meetings were indeed of great help to every girl in our school and many received inspiration for their whole future lives. Geneva Scene Gei S MOST of you know, the Young Women's Christian Association holds a conference at Lake Geneva, Wis., every summer. Delegates come to this conference from all the colleges of Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Mich- igan and Iowa. Twelve of us girls from our college set out last summer to be present at this gathering and our fun began from the moment we left home, for all along the way we met girl after girl bound for the same place. How did we know they were going to Geneva? If you could have heard them talk for a couple of minutes and if you could have seen the pennants tied onto their suit cases, you would have had no trouble in guessing whither they were bound. When we arrived at the town of Williams Bay, Wis., the boat was waiting to carry us over to camp. Here was more fun in store for us, for the captain of the boat was one of those jolly, story-book kind, who made the trip a very pleasant one. Our expectations had been great, but even the first glimpse of camp, with the Ycrkes Observatory looming up in the distance, was more beautiful than anything that we had expected to see. As we drew closer we could plainly see the different buildings, the administration building in the foreground, farther back among the trees the dining hall, and over to the right the auditorium. The adminis- tration building, especially, is one we will never forget, for it was here we went every day to get our mail and it was here we spent the few rainy afternoons, gathered around the large fireplace telling stories or singing. Many evenings we spent on the beautiful veranda of this building, watching the sun set out across the lake. Those days were full ones, for mornings we attend’d Bible and mission classes, but the entire afternoon of each day was given over to sports, and the only trouble we had was that there were so many things to do that we found difficulty in choosing. Some afternoons we spent rowing, canoeing and sailing, some in playing tennis, some bathing in the lake and some in taking long tramps through the beautiful grounds surrounding the lake. I believe that we all agree that there are two afternoons tieva which stand out more clearly than any others. One of these was spent in a twenty-seven-mile trip around the lake, and on this afternoon we had the pleasure of view- ing the beautiful homes of Swift, Armour and many other wealthy people who own beautiful residences near the camp. The other afternoon we will all long remember was “College Day,” at which time the different states and col- leges gave stunts. As the J50 Iowa girls, dressed as wild roses, singing, marched and formed the word “Iowa,” great cheers arose from the spectators. The evening and Sunday meetings were most interest- ing ones, for many educational and inspirational talks and addresses were given by speakers from home and abroad. Sunday mornings saw the shore lined with the yachts of wealthy residents, living along the lake, who had come to attend the morning services. Lake Geneva is said to be more like the Sea of Galilee than any other sea or lake in existence and, like the sea of old, storms come up quickly and quickly subside. The only hard storm on the lake, during the ten days we were there, occurred the last night. Five-thirty the next morning found us loaded on the boat and pulling off from Lake Geneva shore with a feel- ing that those ten days were the happiest ten days of our lives. The last glimpse we caught of the beloved spot was made brighter still by the figure of Miss Paxson, who is now in Ohio, waving until she could see us no longer. We are all determined to go to Geneva again some time and to influence many other girls to go. For those few short days, We dwelt by that lake; Knowing naught but joy and pleasure— Joy in the strength of finding His will, Pleasure in contact with Nature. But those days we have lived So many times o'er, That their meaning never ceases; A Bethel they are, to each in her way, As onward and upward she reaches. —R. L. S., Geneva, f!0. Newman Catholic Association President............................Miss E. L. Thompson Vice-President..........................Miss Amy Beecher Secretary..................................Miss Cecil Cotter Treasurer............................Mr. George Dumphy In October, J903, the Catholic students of the Iowa State Normal School met to form an association, the pur- pose of which was to aid the Catholic students in remem- bering their duty to themselves and to their non-Catholic fellow students, and that they might not only know their religion and live it, but by so doing, give a good example to all. Since the association has been in existence, regular Sunday meetings have been held, in which the study of the life of Christ, His works and His message to man have been pursued. In addition, topics of general interest to the Christian world have been discussed. The work of the society is greatly facilitated by a library containing three hundred volumes. Many, periodicals, which keep the student in touch with church happenings, and happen- ings in the Biblical world, are opportunely selected. During the past year several receptions have been held, which tend to draw the members into closer contact. Newman Catholic Cabinet T'T !!•• -Antoni� I'rbunv. Mar Thompson, I(oi , rt Kttonne.

PRIMARY DEPT Special Primary Class PECIALIZATION is the cry of the world! It used to be thought that anyone could teach the little folk in “reading, riting and rith- metic, but how false this has- been proven. “Teaching primary is as much the work of a specialist as that of teaching language, science or mathematics in college.” It is just as hard, if not harder, for the primary teacher to teach the little folks to read their primers as it is for the college professor to teach young men and women to decipher hierogly- phics, for what is the primer but hieroglyphics to the five- year-old entering school? This department was founded in 1894, when eleven girls were graduated, and this year, J9JJ, we have almost multiplied that number by itself. In the mysterious region beyond the north chapel door is the training school where we have almost three score children, three beloved critic teachers (Misses Gordon, Gamble and Fallgatter) and our imperial Miss Hatcher. The course offered is a very broad and difficult one. Who regrets so many hours of study when we gain so much, not only book lore, and the application, but also firm friends? To I. S. T. C. every year flock a large number of girls to this department of departments drawn by two forces, the efficiency of our faculty and the public demand for trained teachers. There will not be one girl who will go from this school this year without a feeling of regret at leaving, gratitude for the benefits received, and a longing to return again to our alma mater. SING! Tune: Jessie Gaynor's “Boat Song. ) Wc arc Senior Primaries; This is the song we sing: Through the halls to College walls, Our “anthem now doth ring. (Chorus) Primaries we— A jolly bunch you see; And we're loth to leave these halls, E’en for victory. We’re Primaries brave and true, Conquests we have won, In the minds of children here; Our student days are done. We love our Alma Mater here. And praise what she has done; Here’s success to us and the rest In conquests still to come. Senior Primary Cia 191 1 The S. P’s!” Here's a puzzle—not hard to guess! What, give it up right away?

Then three cheers for all of the S. P.'s, Three cheers for the Special Primaries! For the Seniors, and the Juniors, too; In other words, for me and you! To Girlhood Dear, the spring birds' songs of praise Echo of those other days When attuned to summer's mood. Hand in hand we wandered through Fields with summer blossoms strewed, Me and you. Out upon the grass we poured Freely all the shining hoard Of our silly girlish hearts, Hopes and fears for the to-be— Targets large for Cupid's darts, You and me. Dost remember, little friend. How our soaring souls did trend Toward the Hall of Fame afar? Ever kept we plain in view, Hitch your wagon to a star, Me and you. Have you hitched your wagon there? Mine has disappeared in air, Yet sometimes I feel a thrill Of the days that used to be When we climbed Foolhardy Hill, You and me. —F. B. M. l,doCh«� e- Kindergarten N THE fall of 1909 there came to the Iowa State Teachers’ College a lively group of girls, ready heart and hand to be admitted to the wonders and joys of the Kindergarten world. From the threshold they viewed such a field of possibilities that they were tempted to go farther, but the admission meant earnest en- deavor and patience. Enthusiasm, born of the bright pros- pects ahead, paid this admission, arid after two years, these girls, the same, yet not the same, are full-fledged kinder- garteners. It is thought by some because the kindergarten is called the play-school that it is all play. It is true that our work is not drudgery, for then wc could not be as enthusiastic as we are. Play and work, we have found, can be happily combined and by this means the child learns of his strength and skill, and learns, too, of the dignity of labor. The kindergartener sometimes plays with the children for the pure joy of it, but more often, when her play seems to the casual observer to be merely a bit of childishness, she is leading the child into some definite consciousness of a whole chain of related ideas which forms the basis of his life’s education. To do this requires skill and definite knowledge of the child with whom she is working. These kindergarteners now stand ready to take up the work of this rather new but progressive school which is yet struggling against prejudice for its place in our system of education; and we hope the friendly circle, which the girls have made during their two years’ work together, may never be broken.

Just For Fun Oh, the Kgs. have a merry tinfte When on a lark they go; No matter where, no matter how, No matter if the time be now Like clock work things go so and so. In childhood’s garb they dressed one night Twas yet in early fall, Miss Jessie was the hostess then And joy and laughter reigned till ten When Sandman whispered, “Good night all.” The Seniors showed the Junior class What good times they could have. At playing they were “kids” once more; And laughing till their sides were sore At seeing others misbehave. Miss Ward and Miss Dowdell could sec Themselves as others saw them. Many honored guests were there Some were wise and some were fair, But all knew “Kindergarten.” The supervisor’s birthday came And, though no one knew her age, The Kgs. planned a grand surprise And did their “bestus” to get wise, But prophet, hypnotist, nor sage Could ne’er decide upon the truth When she declared ’twas sweet sixteen, And no one dared dispute her claim, Yet doubted not ’twould be the same When next year’s calendar was seen. In basketball the Kgs. shine. They all belong to the team; They play for fun and fun they get And when they lose there’s no regret. It’s fun to lose to the S. P. team For they’re a jolly crowd. All’s “hunky dory apple sass” ’Tween the S. P.’s and Kgs. As Senior ’IIs, if you please They’re loyal to the class. Junior Kindergarten Girls of 1911 To Our Babies L Oh, the baby blue eyes of you—four-year-old maid, And your innocent wisdom—dear five. For the trust and the love you so quickly bestow, Who wouldn't be happy to strive. II. Such a bit makes you happy. Small oceans of joy Can shine in the depths of your eyes, And how proud I shall be, little girl, little boy, Knowing my help can make you more wise. HI. Pm bound to be patient with paper and paste, And shears that go wrong all the while, If I know that at last, when the doll's chair is done. Your tears will be gone for a smile. IV. Each thing that you do and each game that you play Seems made all for your baby mirth, As you skip and you sing in that satisfied way, That makes you the king of the earth. V. So wee four, dear five, and all wise little six, I am happy indeed just to know, That you're a bit mine and a part of each day, I can watch you and help you to grow. —Dixie WiUson K. G„ ’V What the Children Say The see-saw was gently moving up and down after the children had all left it, when Ross noticing its move- ment exclaimed: “Oh, see the see-saw sawing itself!” Joe (one morning after a heavy snow storm): “My father looked out of the window this morning and said he would just have to shovel all the time off the walk.” The teacher was talking of the days, weeks, months, and years. She asked: “Children, what is less than a week?” Earl (with confidence): “Half a week.” Joe could not think of the word “plane” when he wished to speak of the carpenter's tool, so he solved the difficulty by saying: “Oh, I know! It's the thing that wrinkles up the wood.” Allan's roguish face put in a sudden appearance in the doorway of a class room of a group of dignified Seniors. He smiled and said with familiarity in his voice: “Hello, girls!” What the Juniors Inherit “Barb” leaves her privilege to be funny to Rena Gaston. Grace leaves the story of Epaminondas in the library. Lucile leaves a great question to be solved, viz.: “Hasn't that child any lime in his bones?” Garnet leaves her interpretation of a “typical fact.” Irene leaves her management of business affairs to Edith Riland. We all leave various records of our past life as Senioo, including both the good and the bad things we’ve done that you may profit by our experience. Domestic Scie RESENT-DAY womankind, in her variety of tastes and fads, defies classification. As a mili- tant suffragette she excites our awe; as a devotee of harem and hobble and hair she arouses our curiosity; as a slave to the poodle and pug she courts our disdain; as a helpless struggler in the heartless world of business she awakens our sympathy; but as an expert in the science of homemaking and the culinary art she may claim and hold our respect and our devotion. The foundation of our na- tion’s moral and material prosperity is laid in its homes anc the throne of this kingdom is ever graced by a woman. How important, therefore, that she should obtain the best possible preparation for this responsibility. The Department of Domestic Science of the Teachers’ College is a mecca for those who seek proficiency in this broad field of home economics. Among those who have thus wisely chosen there number who are this year stepping forth as trained teachers of the present and homemakers— who shall say—of the future. To attempt an enumeration of the accomplishments of the Domestic Science Seniors would require many times the space here allotted. In the kitchen they can successfully vie with a French chef; their dignity, poise and alertness would grace the service of a Waldorf dining room; they could conduct themselves with credit in the architect’s office, in the chemist’s laboratory, mce—Seniors in the hospital ward, in the modiste’s parlors, and at the desk of instruction. For two years the Senior girls have persistently pursued the heaviest of schedules. In kitchen and laboratory and class room they have worked with a will from early mom till long after College Hill had blos- somed forth with evening lights. In the wee sma’ hours they were to be found delving into the mysteries of nutri- tion, sanitation, psychology and chemistry. Nor were their efforts without reward. Several are even now secretly drawing house plans; some made cakes so light that they floated away over night; another has gained honorary entrance to a Greek letter fraternity. All are able and willing to teach and perform those many tasks which char- acterize the true, the womanly woman. Domestic Science Seniors! Who will attempt to esti- mate the value of your influence and activity in our col- lege circles? Who would dare forecast the brilliancy and successes of your future ? Who of your teachers and asso- ciates would part with the memory of your unfailing cour- tesy and faithfulness, the influence of your quiet and modest demeanor, the inspiration of your enthusiasm and scholarship? You have given of your best in these college- days and in the broader world of activities now beckoning, the best will surely come back to you, heaped up, pressed down, and running over—freely having given, freely you shall receive.

Three Knights of the Twentieth Century ONG, long: ago, in the early days of the year nineteen hundred and eleven, there sallied forth three brave and daring knights eager to battle for the honor of their department. “Go to, said one even more adventuresome than his companions. “Let us render ourselves im- mortal by overcoming and photographing the savage porcupine, which even now is crouching in its cage in the laboratory waiting to fire its deadly darts at who- ever unwittingly passes near its lair.” “”Tis well,” said the others, “no porcupine safely fastened in a strong box hath aught of terror for brave-hearted men. Let us away.” Gathering to them the trusty weapons which should serve them in this dangerous undertaking—the camera, the tripod and the plates—they resolutely and fearlessly hied themselves to the laboratory, recking not what danger came their way could they but uphold the fair name of science. The brave Sir Walternus marched right up to the mas- sive oak table upon which rested the cage of the ferocious hedgehog and seizing a hammer, with one mighty blow from his strong right arm smote out the whole side of the box. The monster dazed by the suddenness of the on- slaught tumbled upon the table, whereupon, the chivalrous Sir Cablenus not to be outdone in valor by another, caught up his camera, shouting: “Let mine be the next advance.” Dismayed by the indomitable valor of the three, the mon- ster seeking for a safe retreat, spied a small opening ’twixt the bookcase and the wall and crept speedily therein. Dire was the distress of the knights as they saw the enemy re- treat to the impregnable fortress. The thoughtful and re- sourceful Sir Areynus now came to the rescue of his com- panions. “Let me,” said he, “procure from among my store a chloroform sponge, which dangled before the nose of even this creature will surely drive it from its den. Armed with this weapon the fearless knight, Sir Cable- nus, climbed valiantly up on the bookcase and strove with might and main to drive the monster back, shouting as he strove, “avaunt, ye brute!” Sir Walternus, attaching a mighty cord about the creature's foot pulled with all his strength unmindful of the dangerous tail which the por- cupine lashed to and fro. Sir Areynus at the end of a long oak window pole added his effort to help dislodge the prey. Nor was such a display of valor in vain; slowly but surely, fighting for each inch the enemy was forced back upon the table and awed by the command, “Stand still you, beast,” given in stentorian tones by Sir Areynus, halted till the dauntless Sir Cablenus planting his camera within three feet of its mighty quills, snapped the picture. I. S. T L There’s a maiden as gay as a breeze, Who charms everyone that she seeze. Her coquettish glances Each fellow entrances. Quite needless to say, ’tis Loueeze. II.

Corner of Manual Training Work Room Manual Training Work Room Manual Training at i. S. T. C. Art at I. HE ART DEPARTMENT, in addition to pre- paring each student in the college to do in- telligent work in art as a grade teacher, or for such work in the grades or high school under an art director, is training a number of special students to fill positions of responsibility as supervisors of art. Our first effort is to learn to see and appreciate beauty; to have a realizing sense of the importance of proportion, spacing, massing, combining and simplicity of forms in a painting, statute or building. The importance of drawing whether in tones or colors, is undebatable. As a means of training the eye and the judgment it stands without a rival. Sir John Lubbock tells us that Art helps us to see, and hundreds of people can talk, for one who can think; but thousands can think for one who can see.” Mr. Walter Scott Perry has said; We cannot enjoy art unless we know how to think, how to study and how S. T. C. to appreciate. It is of more importance to educate a hun- dred people to appreciate art than to educate one artist.” We quote also from Sir Frederick Leighton: “Art b every day becoming more important in relation to certain sides of waning material prosperity of the country. For the industrial competition between this and other countries —a competition, keen and eager, which means to certain industries almost a race for life—runs, in many cases, no longer exclusively or mainly on the lines of excellence of material or solidity of workmanship, but greatly nowa- days on the lines of artistic charm and beauty of design. And what was true in this regard in England, is true in our own country at present. In these days of intellectual awakening and commer- cial activity, a great stimulus is given to the creative genius of the people and our schools, in order to be in the line of progress, preparing citizens for the tasks before them, should see to it that art is properly recognized.

The Art League The Art League, although new in name, is neverthe- less a product of many years of work along artistic lines. Ever since the establishment of the Iowa State Teach- ers' College, drawing has been taught and it is a most interesting and inviting course of study. The demand for special teachers increases every year, and likewise must the standard of efficiency rise. For this reason the Art League was organized. It has been the custom since the organization of the Special Art Course in 902 to have meetings similar in nature to those of the present time, but never until this year has a constitution been framed. Meetings are held at the various homes of the members; eminent painters and sculptors and their works are discussed, but not to the ex elusion of other topics of interest. The league not only in- cludes those who are special students of art, but welcomes anyone who may be interested. The league is making rapid progress and future years are certain to give evidence of advancement. “In time art, the hand, the head and the heart of man go together. But art is no recreation; it cannot be learned at spare moments, nor pursued when we have nothing bet- ter to do. —John Ruskin. The Valentine Party LL WAS bustle and confusion in Aunt Katy White’s kitchen. Aunt Katy herself, her sleeves rolled up, displaying her fat black arms, a gingham apron tied around her ample waist, and her kinky wool hidden by a red bandanna, was busily rolling pic crust. Now and then she stopped to give a peremptory order to one of the numerous little Whites who were running here and there, making a great deal of fuss, but accomplishing very few of the tasks given them. “Hyah, yo, Nicklas Longworth, come hyah, yo little bunch o’ rags. Run doawn to de spring and fetch mammy dat pan o' milk a-settin right squah undah dat big rock. I'se gwine make some punkin pics foh dat balentine pahty we all's gwine gib nex' Choosday ebenin'.

Yo all knows how Romy he's faihly 'fatuated wif dat kin' o' cake, said Aunt Katy, turning to her eldest daughter who stood look- ing dreamily out of the small window. “Ah doan' cyah a snap o' my fingah how much Romy’s ’fatuated wif cake er anything else, 'Lizabeth Elzandah replied lazily. “Ah reckon Mistah Augustus de Safferine, from San Antone, ud lak shubert bettah than common old chocklit cake. “Mistah Augustus de Safferine from San Antone! snorted Aunt Katy, contemptuously. “ 'Lizbcth Elzandah, yo all is de mos' idlesome, doolcss, good-foh-nuthin' stuck- up croquet of a coon gal I ebah seed in all my bawn days.

Git dat cake baked, was Aunt Katy's only reply to this outburst, and the two worked on in silence. to cool and Aunt Katy’s pies were placed in a neat row on the shelf when the young woman espied the stalwart form of a man approaching the cabin. “Ef dar haint dat lazy, slouchy Romy. He thinks he'll git sumpin' good to eat, I reckon. He's de eatinest niggah on dis hyah airth, mumbled 'Lizbeth. “Mistah Augustus de Safferine doan make sich a hawg o' himself. “Howdy, Romy, was Aunt Katy’s cheery greeting to the young man. “I'se jest been 'spostulatin' to 'Lizbeth Elzandah how yo laks chocklit cake. I 'spose you'se fig- gahin' on cornin' to de pahty. “Yassum, yassum, dat I is, answered Romy, smiling on 'Lizbeth, who was too busy to take notice of him. “I'se got a s'prisc foh yo. Miss 'Lizbeth, he ventured, in an at- tempt to draw her out. “I doan cyah foh none o’ yo s'prises, answered the girl, sullenly. Completely discouraged, the young man talked a few moments with Aunt Katy, accepted her offer of a generous piece of pie, then walked slowly up the hill to his owr, cabin. As soon as he was out of sight, Aunt Katy’s wrath broke loose. “Git out o' hyah, yo crazy niggah! she stormed, “Is you gone plumb loony ? Yo'll drive me to'straction; Dat silly bahbah Augustus de Safferine doan cut no figgah 'tall side o' Romy. I jest bet he's a fohgah, or a theft er sumpin’ else yest as bad. Git out o' hywh, I say. Taking a grimy and dilapidated novel from the top shelf of the cupboard, 'Lizbeth sauntered into the yard. She seated herself in an old chair beneath a peach tree and was soon lost in oblivion. “Good mawning, Miss White. 'Lizbeth raised her eyes from her book and met those ot Mr. Augustus de Safferine. “Howdy, Mistah de Safferine, she replied in confusion. “I pcrcebc yo is injyin' de perusal of dat book I brung yo, said Augustus as he sat on the grass, near 'Lizbeth's chair. “Yassah, answered she, “hit sho am a mighty nice book. I sho do injy readin'. Pappy sez I ortah been a schola h. “Dat yo had. Yo is han'some 'nuff to turn the haid ob a prince jes' as yo ahe, an' ef you wuz cddicatcd, yo udl make a big mahk in dis ole world, declared Augustus, changing to a reclining position and gazing into the girl's face with a far-away look in his eyes. 'Lizbeth Elzandah's cake was finished and on the table “He sahtainly look lak de young man de book tells 'bout, though 'Lizbeth. “He sho know how to talk to a gal. He haint awkwahd lak dat Romy. But she did not have further opportunity to continue these pleasant thoughts, for at that moment Aunt Katy's black face appeared at the door. “ 'Lizbeth Elzandah, come in hyah an' set de table, yo pappy will be hyah in a minute, she called. “Jes' yo 'mcmbah I doan want no young dudes stayin' foh dinnah, neidah. Augustus leisurely rose, taking 'Lizbeth's hand, he doffed his brown derby, bowed low and whispered, “Faih thee well, then walked rapidly away. Tuesday evening came at last. Aunt Katy in her best calico and a spotless white apron, and 'Lizbeth in a bright yellow cheesecloth dress, welcomed their guests with exag- gerated ceremony mingled with true negro hospitality. Romy had hoped to get a few words alone with 'Liz- beth, but she purposely avoided him. She and Augustus sat on the home-made sofa talking in low tones till poor Romy was fairly raging with wounded pride and jealousy. Aunt Katy, being something of a diplomat, had arranged for 'Lizbeth and Romy to distribute the valentines, which the guests had placed in a box by the door, as they came in. Her scheming was all in vain, however, for during the entire performance 'Lizbeth spoke not a word to the dis- concerted Romy. The valentines were many and of various kinds. Con- spicuous among the lot were two, addressed to the young hostess. On one the writing was decorated with many flourishes; the name inscribed on the other was an illiterate scrawl. Supper was next on the program- The company sat at the big table in the kitchen and ate heartily of the many good things Aunt Katy had prepared. Romy sat near Aunt Katy, now and then remarking: “Dis am de finest suppah I evah did eat,” to the evident de- light of the old colored woman. “Did yo all heah 'bout de sheriff cornin' from San Antone lookin' foh a niggah dat stole fifty dollahs,” re- marked Uncle Pete, while the meal was in progress. “J seed Mistah Millah dis ebenin' an' he say dey has good reason foh 'spishinin' dat niggah am right hyah 'mongst ouh neighbo’hood.” Everyone began discussing the exciting subject and plying Uncle Pete with questions. Qnly Aunt Katy ob- served that Mr. Augustus de Safferine ate no more and that he kept glancing anxiously toward the door. When the guests left the table he got his hat and prepared to depart. “I'se—I'se jes' recollected a impohtant meetin' ob de bahbahs’ union dat was to take place dis ebening,” he stammered. “I'se mighty sorry to foahgo de plcasuah ob de ebening, but I'se 'bleeged to do.” When he had gone. Uncle Pete turned to the surprised guests: “Wuzzent hahd to git red ob him,” he chuckled. “Mis- tah Millah tole me who dey 'spected, an' I doan want no thief kotched on my premises.” Aunt Katy glanced triumphantly at her daughter, but that young lady was looking the other way. Uncle Pete took down his banjo and the young people were soon en- gaged in a lively dance. “Pappy kin sho make dat ole banjo talk,” said 'Lizbeth, turning to Romy who sat near her. He had been trying to screw his courage high enough to ask her to dance and now she had led the way. As the evening wore on, they forgot their recent anger and chat- ted and danced as gaily as they hed before Mistah Au- gustus de Safferine had come into the neighborhood. “Romy ain't so awkwahd, aftah all,” said TLizabeth to her mother when the last guest had departed. “When he tells yo dat he lak yo powahful well, yo jest know he mean it. He say he gwinc buy me a solid gold band ring, lak he see at de drug stoah, foh a dollah.” Hallie Seeds. Public School Music N THE past the praises of the special music crowd have been sung only in a minor key. Let me sing it in a vivace major. Though rather lost to the world in the old North Hall, we are still up and a coming sixty strong. If you have any doubts as to the preceding state- ment stand outside Mr. Fullerton’s room some afternoon and listen to the future Melbas and Carusos. If you want further proof come around and hear Miss S. play the pianola or Miss K. on the piano, you would hardly know that you were not listening to the music box in the Buffalo Candy Kitchen. But to come down to a tempo, the Public School Music Course does not take a back seat to any. Each year sees a group of these songsters leaving their Alma Mater to elucidate Handel, Mozart and Mendelssohn to the various high schools which are suffering for a deeper insight into Beethoven and Scarlotti. Do not think for a moment that this course trains only the vocal cords of its patrons. The brain receives its due share. No one, no matter how edu- cated his voice-box, can receive her sheepskin without at least eight college credits on her diploma and as much as possible in her head. (Think of this crowd and what a gash they will cut throughout the state.) In this course they receive a workout physically, mentally, morally, and spiritually. Physically their breathing apparatus, mentally their brains, morally by practicing self-restraint when try- ing to reach high C, and spiritually in choral society. But to come down to common sense, the Music Course is a growing one, the demand for teachers is becoming universal among the larger schools of the state, and it is becoming recognized as one of the strongest and most popular courses offered by the I.

Philomel Glee Club The shepherd touched his reed; sweet Philomel, Essayed, and oft essayed to catch the strain, And treasuring, as on her ear they fell, The numbers echoed note for note again ' At the beginning of the school year, in September, 1910, so many girls wished to have glee club work that a new club was organized. This club was named Philomel, which is a poetical name for the nightingale. The members try to live up to their name, and have made good progress under the kind and efficient leadership of Miss Dickey. The musical co npositions studied consist of two and three-part songs, cuttings from some of the operas, etc. The names of songs and composers are as follows “The Lord is My Shepherd, by Henry Smart; “The Guitarre, a two-part song by W. G. Hammond; “Nov Good Evening, Good Night, a slumber song by Brahms: “Wandering Evening Song, by Rubinstein; “O, Beautiful Violet,” a translation from the German of Friedrich Ruck- ert, with music composed by Carl Reinecke; “Slumber Boat, by Jessie L. Gaynor; “Swing Song, by Frederick M. Lohr. The two opera choruses are the “Gipsy Chorus, from Weber's “Preciosa, and the “Serenata,” from “Cynthia's Orb of Snow, fro n “Mcfistofcle. Lena Bennett. Euterpcan Glee Club Euterpean M ighty power, uniting nations. U nseen forces that thrill the soul, § tay within our hearts forever!

Cecilians “Music washes from the soul The dust of everyday life.” Twenty-three years ago the first ladies' glee club was organized and was called the “Cecilian. During the ex- istence of the club, the girls, each succeeding year, have endeavored to keep up to the high standard set by the original members. The result has been most gratifying and the Cecilians today hold a high place among the musical organizations of the college. The club owes much of its success to the efficiency of its directors. Miss Julia Curtiss was the first director of the club. Since then Mr. Robert Fullerton, Miss Clara L. Cressy, Miss Francis Dickey and Miss Hulda Stenwall have ably directed the club. At present the organization is under the capable leadership of Miss Dickey who has returned after a year of study in New York, to continue the efficient work begun by her in '07. In the past the Cecilians have studied selections from various composers. Last year they presented Henry Smart's cantata, “King Rene's Daughter, while this year they have devoted their time to the study and interpre- tation of selections from the various operas, as well as other miscellaneous choruses. During the year the club has rendered selections at the various social functions and religious meetings of the institution. In the annual concert given in the spring term by the ladies’ glee clubs, the Cecilians contributed the fol- lowing selections: Waltz—Faust.................................Guonod Chorus Girls—Carmen..........................Bizet Spinning Chorus—Flying Dutchman............Wagner Arrangement from Sextette—Lucia...........Donzetti Solos— Siebel's Song—Faust.........................Guonod Mabel Kratz.

Oratorical Association The Oratorical Association of the Iowa State Teachers' College is the organization which represents the student body in the management of all contests in oratory. It consists of one member from each literary society and each me nber holds office for one year. The interest in oratory has received a fresh impetus during the past year and the results are in proportion to that interest. The fact that enough men presented orations to make a men's inter-society contest possible and also that the first and second places in the final contest were secured by men are sure omens that the men of the school arc realizing the possibilities and benefits of oratory; and sev- eral men are all ready planning orations for the contests next year. Another new and welcome infusion of orators is coming from the provisional societies, who have in the past kept aloof from the various oratorical contests. That they mean business is shown by the fact that a representative of a provisional society won third place in the final contest. The students are settling down to real work and the results are sure to come. When the present feeling toward oratory is considered and when we see the result of this year's work in the splendid representation we are to have in the Inter-State contest, it takes no prophet to foretell the placing of the Iowa State Teachers' College in the banner row of the colleges which produce real orators. Winners of the first three places in the final Inter-State Preliminary Contest: First place, Mr. Davis. Subject: America and a World Peace.” Second Place, Mr. Wilbur. Subject: The Supremacy of Faith.” Third Place, Miss McCann. Subject: True Philan- thropy.” MISS McCANN. Winner of Third Place In Intersociety Oratorical I. S. T. C. Debating League KIMu r.

Houstman..........................President Jasper Wilber......................Vice-President Glen Davis....................Secretary-Treasurer The Debating League of the State Teachers' College is one of the most important organizations of the student body. At the present time it is composed of three members from each of the three men's literary societies and an ad- visory board from the faculty. Because of the difficulty of getting so many men together, the constitution of the league was changed during the year, limiting the student membership to two representatives from each society. The object of the organization is to interest the men of the school in forensic work and arrange for debates with other schools. At the present time the league holds two compacts which provide for dual debates with the Iowa State College at Ames and the Kansas State Normal School at Emporia, Kansas. The Ames debate takes place about the first of November while the Kansas debate takes plaoc near the first of May. While these schools are very strong rivals, the records show that the Teachers’ College has never been compelled to take second place. Out of six debates which Ames held during the year J909-J0 only one was lost. We are proud of the fact that this debate was lost at the hands of the State Teachers' College by a decision of 3-0. During the past year our record has not been marred. The Kansas debate of May 13, i9t0, resulted in a decision of 6-0 in favor of the Teachers. This is a very unusual decision and goes to show what hard work and persistency will do. The de- bate with Ames on November if, f9W, resulted in a de cision of 4-2 in our favor and proved that the State Teach- ers’ College is capable of debating any college in the state Kansas Debaters 1911 Affirmative Team I.

By the shores of Cedar river, By the shining: Cedar river, Stands the L S. Teachers' College, The most thorough in the nation. On the hill-top by this river Stand the buildings of this college. Tall and stately stand these buildings. All around them rolls the campus, Rolls the green and lovely campus. Dark upon it rise the pine trees. Maples, hemlock, birch and elm trees. Swiftly by it runs the car line For to transport students hither. To this college came one evening Thirteen maidens young and warlike. Came they from that land of Indians From the tribes of the Dacotahs. Came they here to gather knowledge, Knowledge of the ways and customs Of the white man and his people. Came they here to gather knowledge For to teach the Indian children, Little brown-eyed Indian children. Oft their hearts grew sad and lonely, Longed they for their Indian lovers, Thought they of their Indian pow-wows, Of the pow-wows of their fathers. Of the broad and barren prairies With their coyotes and their owlets, Hooting 'round the camp at midnight. So they banded them together, Banded they as sisters faithful, Swore allegiance to each other, Smoked the peace pipe of their fathers, Sioux Of their brave and warlike fathers. Called themselves the Sioux from Westland, From the free and windy Westland. Then they chose a maid to lead them, Called her Big Chief as her father. Who should lead and help them always When the white man's way was irksome. And they longed for their own homeland. Once the Sioux one pleasant evening Heard the whisperings of the pine trees, Heard the lapping of the waters. Sounds of music, sounds of wonder. To the forest all, then cried they, Let us from our care get freedom, Let us leave dull care behind us. To the forest then all went they, Went they laughing, talking gaily. In the language of their fathers. Then they built a roaring campfire, 'Round it danced the Indian war dance. Gave the yells of their own people. Saw the moon shine through the branches, Heard the hooting of the owlets, Longed for their own happy homeland, For the land of their own people. Then their Big Chief thus addressed them: Back to school we now must hie us, Back to all our cares and trials. Soon our school life will be over, Happier then we all shall be, When we meet our Indian Sioux Tribe, In the land of the Dacotahs. Q. S. X. The Science Club of the I. S. T. C President...................Prof. Emmet J. Cable Vice-President.................Miss Myrtle Arnold Secretary-Treasurer..........Prof. R. W. Getchell In the late afternoon of September thirtieth, nineteen hundred nine, a group of faculty members representing the different science departments of the college assembled in the northwest recitation room in the basement of Science Hall. They had gathered at the suggestion of Prof. Abbott C. Page to consider the advisability of establishing the first departmental club of the college—a club for the science faculty and students. The proposal elicited a favorable response; the name. Science Club of the Iowa State Teach- ers’ College, was chosen, and a committee on constitution, by-laws and permanent organization was appointed. Pro- fessor Page was elected as the first president, and Miss Alison Aitchison, secretary. The stated object of the club was “to promote interest in and knowledge of the laboratory sciences through the presentation of original or special work done by its mem- bers, the discussion of various activities in the scientific world, and the giving of lectures by scientists of note.” From its inception the club has prospered, men of ability have addressed its sessions, and a growing interest in science has been evidenced within its membership. Among addresses of note have been: “Some of the Fundamental Properties and Phenomena of the Electron.” Prof. Louis Bcgeman. “Our Iowa Birds.” Prof. G. W. Walters. “Some Extinct Mammals of Iowa.” Prof. Samuel Calvin. The Science Club has more than realized the highest expectations of its founders. It has steadily increased in size, efficiency, and popularity, and now takes its place among the leading permanent organizations of the college. R. W. Getchell. The Accommodating Friend T WAS a very rainy Friday, but nothing; could dampen my plans when once I had made up my mind to go home for the weekend. As I hurried through the corridor after my fifth period class, I decided not to take a grip with me. In fact,” I mused, “I will have enough to carry, with the bulbs at the greenhouse I promised to get for mother, and I know father would be pleased if I brought him some of his favorite bread, which none but the little Dane bakery here can make. Besides, it’s all nonsense carting things to and from home. Father says I always lug unnecessary things when I travel. What a relief it will be not to have a suit case to carry across that bridge to the I. C. depot!” My reflections were interrupted by a familiar voice: “Ethel! Wait a minute! Whew! I'm all out of breath! I've run the whole length of the auditorium trying to catch you. I suppose you're going home this week? Good! You'll take my suit case home, won't you, that's a darling! I want to send some things home. It's right here, all ready. And if it isn't too much trouble—honestly, I hate to ask you, but could you take it with you to the depot ? I'm on the program this afternoon. Good-bye, dear, I'm late to society, I know.” Her voice in the distance echoed some- thing about helping me out some time, and I was left with a heavy grip. On reaching my room I found a strange suit case and on it a note from the mother of a Cedar Falls girl who was teaching in my home town. Would I please take Carrie's laundry to her? They would not think of asking me, but she would not get them soon enough by express, and she was to go to the state convention the next day, so would need her things right away. The damp weather aggra- vated her (the mother's) rheumatism so that she was sorry not to be able to take the grip to the depot herself, etc. My slow intellect had scarcely grasped the import of this when I was called to the 'phone. The call was from a sick friend. Would I take some things home for her? She would send the grip over immediately. Really, Jane was my best friend and it would not do to refuse her request, and the poor girl so ill, too. I looked sadly at the grips—one, two, three. There is nothing to do but to order a hack. I phone, but all the cabs are engaged. I put on my oldest suit, by stoutest rubbers, and start to carry the grips, one by one, to the car line, foutf blocks away. I meet a small boy and a happy thought strikes me. He will help carry the other grips for that nice new dime resting in my purse. We get them all at the corner just as the car appears. And an open car at that! We are packed like sardines, for it is the time of day when the Waterloo students are returning. We whizz past the greenhouse. All thoughts of getting the bulbs for mother are given up. Suddenly the power gets poor. The car goes like a snail. Will I catch the 5:05 at this rate? If I ever reach the postoffice I can of course get a boy to help me carry the grips to the depot. There are always plenty loaf- ing around. We get down town at just five. I make a brief mental calculation—five minutes to carry three suit cases across that bridge. Father will have to wait until next time for his favorite bread. There arc no boys in sight. What can I do? Some strange girls, seeing me look destitute, kindly offer me their assistance, for they are going to take the Illinois Central, too. The rain begins to come down in per- fect torrents. The train whistles before we reach the river. We make one final wild and desperate dash, and reach the depot as the train does. I check the three grips and draw a breath of relief as I enter the train, tired, drenched to the skin, but at least not tampered by the sight of a grip. 1 J Cliosophic (1886) Colors: Yellow and White.

We have tried to make this year a glorious and prosperous one, for it is the year of the twenty-fifth anniversary of our Society. Though we have won no striking victories we have never fallen below the high standard of good, loyal society work. We hope to complete the year in a grand banquet with all our sister Clios to celebrate our twenty-fifth anniversary. Our good times have been as full of the Clio spirit as ever. Early in September we gave the new girls a spread at Flagler Hall. Then they were formally initiated and made to perform various stunts to entitle them to the priv- ilege of kissing the goat. The Cliorio joint initiation was held at the McAlvin Cottage and great was the relief of the new Clios and Orios when they were assured that at last they really belonged. Our next entertainment was a charming, but witch like party held in Lamson Hail, Waterloo, on Hallowe’en. Every Clio and every Orio submitted to having his fortune told mid the laughter of those who were curious enough to listen. The Christmas tree revel followed this and there again the Cliorios let fun and laughter reign. Then came the Cliorio banquet, at which the bonds of loyalty and friendship were renewed and various toasts were given and responded to. Miss Grace Du Bois was toast mistress. And so we still continue to mix fun with our work which adds spice to it and keeps the strength and buoy- ancy of youth within the loyal hearts of the Clios. From the Clio Observatory It has been observed that Effie T. likes neither light hair nor dark hair. She prefers Bald ones (Baldwins). Fay Pullen dislikes our form of government. She pre- fers the Aristo (cracy). Lura advocates further cooperation with the Orios. If we were to ask Shef what flower he considered the loveliest, he would answer, “Calla. Coming's favorite game is Tennis. He has become hopelessly tangled in the net and is making quite a racket. He gives vent to his feeling by calling the “Deuce, but as far as we tan see the score stands about “Love All. So many of the Clios are so extremely interested in Domestic Science. We have been unable to find out the exact reason. Even children are found to be quite observing at times. John L.'s little sister says she has never been to a wedding, but expects to see one soon, because John is old enough to get married now. VERSELETS.

To the Ossoli girls who have gone out from our Society during the past years, but whose hearts are still with us, the members of the Ossoli Club of 1910 send greetings. In sending to you this brief glimpse of our feats, it is not our purpose to relate all our wondrous deeds—for that would require volumes. We intend only to bring to you enough of our life this year to inspire you to renew your enthusiasm in our work and remind you that we are this year, just as each year, sending out girls who, when they go into the new fields in September, whether the modern city school or the lonely rural district, will bring more intelligent, sympathetic and understanding hearts because of the influence of the social and literary life of this club. And who will in their life's work, as in their school history, follow our motto, “Be to the best thou knowest, ever true. HEART STIMULANTS. Prof. H.

Winner of First Place In Women') Orator! ! Contest. The Society, Historically There comes a tide in the affairs of men, 'tis said, when it becomes necessary to seek unbeaten paths, and in them to hew out fortunes. Eighteen years ago such a time came to twenty strong, courageous girls who then organized the Zetalethean So- ciety. Nor was the path an easy one to tread. Discourage- ments came, trials were not lacking, but this loyal band met all with a determination to overcome every obstacle, and with steadfast faith in the future. That their successors have filled their places right worthily is evident from the prosperity and success which have attended their efforts. Their society home is no longer a dingy class room, but a cheerful hall overlooking the eastern campus. Each year sees the broken ranks filled with loyal, earnest girls, eager to uphold the “Rose and Gray” and to add to it fresh laurels. May the Zetas ever be the rarest of girls whose frank- ness and sincerity will be in keeping with the name they bear, and whose sterling worth will be a fitting tribute, not only to the Zetalethean Society, but to their Alma Mater, as well. The Society, Socially 8 HE SOCIAL festivities of the Zetas for the year f9f0-f9ft were such as to make the year memorable to all the members. The spreads, receptions, a banquet and a Christmas party were so jolly that all the girls who were Zetas were proud of it, and those who were not, hoped they soon would be. In the fall came the “rushing” of the new girls, with spreads at Woods' and Funk's, a reception at Lalan’s, and a picnic at the springs where the girls were initiated. Supper was eaten by the light of a rousing camp-fire, over which “wienies” and marshmallows had been toasted. Afterward came the stunts, and then, looking much the worse for the tree climbing, rice throwing and other feats, the girls went home on the car, all giving lustily the Zeta “A B C” yell. Hallowe'en was observed by the girls in the guise of ghosts and witches in the old gymnasium. The honorary members were guests, and they, with the Zeta members, bobbed for apples, blew out candles and had their fortunes told by the witches. In the society hall at Christmas time, a huge Christmas pie was served, each piece containing a Christmas gift. Jumping-jacks, horns, toy curling irons and rattles were the sources of much amusement, especially since with each gift was an original rhyme written by one of the members. Anna Funk organized a brass band, consisting of those for- tunate persons who had received an instrument in the pie. Needless to say, it was received with loud applause. The event of the year was the annual banquet given for the honorary members in January. The gymnasium had been transformed into a banquet hall, and looked very pretty in the Zeta colors, rose and gray. Mr. McKitrick was toastmaster of the evening, and received hearty re- sponses to the different toasts called for. The menu cards were in the form of a black cat, the society mascot, and the favors were pink carnations. The Zetas look backward with pleasure to the year 91i, and forward with pleasant anticipation to the year m2. THE AMBITIOUS FEW. To be Dean of Women, I. S. T. C—Anna Funk.

Warner, Once upon a Friday dreary, As we listened, oh, so weary, To orations long and learned Filled with deep scholastic lore— While we nodded, nearly napping, Suddenly there came a tapping As of someone loudly rapping With the gavel we adore. Straightway we were all attention. Whence arose this intervention? Could orations now be o'er To be given nevermore? Then our critic dear, uprising, She of curly locks surprising, Said in tones of wondrous sweetness: Here our octette first appear. Instantly there was a rustle Of expectancy, a bustle, Then a tenseness of each muscle As all lent a listening ear. For before us, as we waited, Marshalled they, not one belated, Thus to cheer us with their song, To enchant our somber throng. Octette Sherwood, IMUv Marshall. T. t'rbany.

Charm our ears with strains to treasure As we dream of days of yore. E'en tho college ties be broken, Thoughts unbidden come, a token Of the past, tho oft unspoken; Still from memory's golden store In the future will be ringing Music sweet, to us still bringing Echoes of the days of yore, To be forgotten nevermore. Zeta Limericks There was a young maiden named Shirley Who wanted her hair to be curly. So she sat up all night And curled it just right— In the morning you wouldn't know Shirley. Blythe is a charming brunette, Doubtless she's somebody's pet; If not, she will be, As we shall soon see— Don't tell this to anyone yet. There was a fair maid who was named Annabel!, Who conducted the meetings remarkably well, Until once she moved The minutes be approved Before they were read, as we have heard tell. There was a plump lassie called Mayme, At music she was not without fame. From home she'd not tarry, No matter how very Enticing the prospect became. WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Alpha Basket Ball Team Alpha Song Come and sing, all ye loyal Alphas fair, Come and sing our Alpha song; Let it ring till it fills the summer air With echoes sweet and strong; Left and right 'neath our banners pink and white, We will march in brave array, And everyone will loudly say That Alpha's the best today. Tell me where there's another can compare With our Alpha good and true. Her virtues rare, never can be found elsewhere, A fault she never knew. Strong she stands, she's the best in any land, In her praise we'll all unite; Whate'er you do, where'er you go, Give a cheer for the pink and white. (Chorus) All along the line. Cheer for old Alpha; 'Tis Alpha's day, Others may follow, But she leads the way, We'll love her ever, Forsake her never, By her we'll stand alway. Alpha OW appropriately Alpha was named Alpha,— first in the hearts of its members, and first in school activities. This year has been one of the most successful and enjoyable years of her life, for last fall all the girls came back to school full of enthusiasm and a determination to “do something.” There were many charm- ing: new girls here, so the first thing on the program was a delightful reception at Julia Hurd's. After a number of new girls had been pledged, we had a joint initiation upj the river with the Philos. How well we remember that picnic at McAlvin's cottage! Will we ever forget how we rowed up the river, made our pledges do stunts (every- thing from Thomas Orchestra to breach of promise suits), ate supper, made a roaring fire, had our oars hidden, and were despairing of getting home when we were saved by a launch. The next social affair was the chrysanthemum garden reception given in honor of our new members and brother Philos. For weeks the girls labored, making paper flowers with which the hall was transformed. But we were well repaid, for it was reported the most beautiful reception ever given here. Later on in the year came the oratorical and declamatory contests, where Nelle Ratcliffe and Mabel Watson made us very proud by winning the second places. Do you remember the picnic at the gym where we all donned gym suits and renewed the pleasures of youth? No county fair with its egg rolling contest was ever fun- nier than some of the antics of our dignified members. Basketball was the dominating interest in the spring, when Alpha, with her strong team, did some good work. On a beautiful February day the whole school filed over to the gym to see the final game between the Alphas and Neos. Excitement ran high, for the teams were evenly matched. But it must have been Alpha's unlucky day, for she lost the championship by one point, to her worthy opponents. Then, one night we were all invited to the realm of ghosts. Here we all learned our futures, thanks to our delightful hostesses, Miss Emma Lambert and Miss Riggs. And last, but not least, let me speak of the banquet the Philos gave us in the gymnasium, after which we voted again that our brother society are without a doubt the first in the school in every way. But do not think that all we do is to have fun. No, indeed! I have mentioned only the red letter days in a calendar of weekly literary programs and business meet- ings where we do our best, and seal our friendships by cooperation in keeping Alpha the leader. Mock Basket Ball Game MABEL WATSON. Keprosenta ive of Declamatory Contest The Song of Life (Dedicated to Alphas of i9ii-t2.) ‘lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. In departing from you, sisters, Some advice we'd give to you, Which may help you in your journey, Hake you loyal, brave and true. Though we’re Seniors four and twenty, Models we don’t claim to be. Bo: each one of us possess Unique traits we’ll tell to thee. First, there’s Nell, who, like an oak tree, Sturdy stands through thick and thin; When our feet persist in dancing And the faculty butt in. Then there's Melba, so enthralling, Through our halls her music peals. •Andy, do you think Gen Edwards E’er will cook you good square meals? In our midst we have a Bonheur, Burgess is as yet her name, And the way she puts the paint on Really seems to us a shame. Cobb and Packard arc two brave ones Who by streaks and jerks do come, Sinply can’t break way from Alpha— 0 ye intermittent ones! Slenderest of all the maidens Martha McIntosh doth stand, Yet there’s no one can surpass her Willingness to lend a hand. Vere D Scllhorst is the power That controls the editor; Gentle Allee in her keeping Has our worthy manager. Brown-eyed Ruth, so sweet and lovely— Leader of Y. W.— With our dreamy-eyed Mae Loving Wins both kinds of hearts. Oh, you! Then there’s Gladys with her giggle And her acrobatic bouts. Whose motto is, Dear Alpha sisters. Never, never have the grouch. Woe be unto the opponent Freda guards in basketball, She soon teaches them a lesson, Punch in the ribs oft wins a bawl. Maude can cook and wash the dishes. And she does it very well, But this maid prefers the parlor Where she as a queen doth dwell. Gertrude Klein plays with the babies In the kindergarten school; Tells of goblins, elfs and dragons, Teaches gift by Dowdell’s rule. Come, young ones, into the circle Then shout Wyant and Lucile; Let us play the ‘five white ponies’ Prancing to their noonday meal. Charming little Dorothea And her Sallamander chum Never do a thing improper, No, not even chew thy gum. That the street cars never fail us, Even when the snow does drift, Margaret M. makes that her business And attends to it with thrift. Ruthic Wright has got us all skinned, She’s an Alpha from the core; In athletics and dramatics She has made an awful score. One we have whose name is Wadsworth, She’s a worker staunch and true; She makes speeches from the rostrum, Astounding toasts at banquets, too. Anderson and Mabel Strickler, Though they graduate this year, Are not worried 'bout position— Doesn’t that seem rather queer? Edith is the laughing lady, Makes us all just nearly roar. But we all sit up and listen When our Edith has the floor. On the whole I think the program Was today extremely fine. But, says Marguerite Cadwallader, Some had far too good a time. Now we feel we’ve done our duty, Set for you examples fine, And in years that are to follow May you always lead the line. So— Here's to Alpha, first in all things, May she always lead the way; In departing we salute thee, May every day be Alpha’s day! There is no Death! What seems so is transition. This life of mortal breath Is but a suburb of life Elysian Whose portal we call Death. NELLE WISE. 1884— t9U. Neotrophian Colors: Corn and Blue. Motto: Nulla Vestigia Retrorsum. Yells Ach Louie!

President Secretary Critic . .. ... .Litta Tumblesome The Neo Girl N ULLA VESTIGIA RETRORSUM, the motto adopted by the Neo Society at the time of its organisation in 1891, has indeed proved a fit- ting one. Throughout the twenty years of her existence the course of Neotrophia has truly been “ever forward. A glance at her progress during this time is sufficient proof of her development and of her faithfulness to the standards which she has adopted. Although the organisation is a literary one her progress has not been along literary lines alone. In social, musical, athletic and oratorical fields as well, the society has stood well to the front, showing the Neo girl to be the jolly, all- round girl so desirable and so necessary to the success and advancement of a society. A visit to Neo Hall reveals the quality of literary work done by the girls and the originality of the programs ren- dered. The musical ability of the various members con- tributes not a little to these programs, and the society is proud to number many of the Cecilians and Euterpeans among her ranks. In oratory, this year she ranks third, which place was awarded her representative in the women’s Inter-Society contest. Great disappointment was experienced by all the wom- en’s societies, when in the fall, the Physical Training fac- ulty announced that no inter-society basketball was to be permitted. Later, however, the stern ruling was with- drawn and soon the girls were hard at work training for eo the coming: struggle. Much interest was manifested on all sides. After a hard figrht Neo triumphed and found her- self champion of the school. In the midst of her many other activities the social side has not been lost sight of. The year's work has been plentifully sprinkled with social gatherings which have been the source of many good times. Oh, the outings in which the girls reveled when the weather was warm and the rush fever was on. Later came initiation stunts, fol- lowed by the banquet which was voted a social triumph by all. Nor will the girls soon forget the many informals held in Neo Hall, or the Valentine Party, where original- ity reached its climax. The basketball girls could tell you of the dinner accorded them by the girls after the inter- society games were over, and the royal good time enjoyed by all. The society has been especially fortunate in its honor- ary members. Between the Neos and their honorary mem- bers there has always existed the most cordial relations and many a social hour has resulted therefrom. On her honored list at present we find Miss Rice, Miss Hughes, Miss Warriner, Miss Stenwall, Prof, and Mrs. C A. Fuller- ton, Miss Wilbur, Miss Dickey, Dr. and Mrs. W. L. Hearst, Prof, and Mrs. Robt.

Throughout the year the regular meetings have been held and the members of the society take pride in the quality of the literary work they have been doing. The purpose of this society is for improvement in elocution, composition and debate, but this is not all. This organization also has a social purpose, and socially it is as strong as ever—many society parties have been held, as well as picnics, spreads, etc. A history of the short, but interesting life of the Delphian Society would be full of inspiration and excitement.

I think it's an infamous outrage, And who hears it, I don’t at all care! “To think they'd begrudge a half day In which we could rest from our work! All the year long we've been faithful, And lessons they know we don't shirk. “Some folks return good for evil, More return good only for good, While others without much feeling, Return only evil for good. “But I'll be among the first class, I'll study with all my might, And show them I'm not at ail angry, Because they did not do what was right.” Moral: Don't believe all you hear.

As a consequence much good work has been accomplished. In the Interstate Preliminary Oratorical Contest with nine contestants, Mr. Wilbur, representing the Aristos, was awarded second honors. The Aristos believe in the necessity of giving a certain amount of time to recreation and pleasure, and have there- fore enjoyed many happy events during the year. Of course on such occasions our loyal sister society, the Shakespearean Circle, always take an active part. During the fall term a joint initiation party was held at McAlvin’s Cottage. The new members furnished most of the amuse- ment for the evening. Later in the term the societies again assembled, this time in the gymnasium, which was deco- rated with all that is necessary for a real Hallowe'en party. Several joint literary meetings have been held during the year, among which was the annual Christmas program with the Christmas tree. Finally in the spring term the annual Shake-Aristo banquet was held. The Aristo� EULALIAN Eulalian Society Notes Motto: The higher we rise the grander the view.” Officers SPRING TERM, J9J0.

A Eulalian While wandering o'er the campus late one day, Dreaming of home and loved ones far away, To my surprise, before me on the ground, A book I saw, with pages leather bound. I picked it up, and these words met my view: “Eulalian, f9tf—read it through.” “Eulalian Roll”—at each familiar name. Fond recollections to my memory came. “Miss Harriet, the captain of our team, An athletic lover doth she seem. If news of Luther College you would learn, Ask Edna Haug, whom it doth most concern. Margaret, whose glowing cheeks reflect health's hue, To thee high praise in basketball is due. And sure, we'll always honor and esteem Stella, the little forward on our team. But who, in playing such a famous game. Could turn such graceful somersaults as Mayme? Then Laura comes, with lemons sour to squeeze. For valiant girls who tried so hard to please. When Homer from the rafters did descend, Kind (?) Hale his aid to Elser then did lend. For Ellen we have naught but good to say, E'en though she leaves us when 'tis contest day. Fair Katie's charm, a pair of sweet blue eyes, And heart too tender, far, to criticise. Our Eula, dear, so young, so sweet, so true, Eulalians may e'er depend on you. Success in teaching is our Marion's aim, Success for work’s sake, not success for fame. A gift of Price, a gem, a rarity, The greatest of all virtues—Charity. A common name, no common girl, I ween. Is Ethel Smith, who wears the white and green. And ‘Parksy' at the picnic, ah, ah, me! Why should she blush at ‘switches on a tree P Oh, who would Haight to be so very Rud As to society to bring a dude? Our poet, Alice, quiet, sweet, and fair, With dreamy eyes and fairy, flaxen hair. When quarantine upon the hill began. Poor Meredith from her oration ran. Calm Nellie’s temper nothing e'er Woodruff, Not even when rebellious hair won’t puff. Our Inez Parks, with bright and laughing eyes, Salad With trigonometry her fond heart lies. Marcella sweet, has talents not a few. She'd be an artist and a poet, too. Our little Esther Beck is good and true, A pure Eulalian, right through and through. Jennie, thou meek and gentle maid so fair, Thou lov'st to talk, and catch the ‘coons' most rare. Quiet and loving, a fairy in disguise, Is Edith Chcnhall, with kind brown eyes. Our laughing Julia's always full of bliss, But, dear, take care, and look before you kiss. A slender little maid with ready wit, That Zela Veith, who always makes a hit Conviction shines in Hazel Potwin's eyes While she proclaims ‘neat man' a worthy prize. And Esther, or our Kate, who e!er could tell Which one is best, 'tis true we love them well. Amo, amas, amat—dost thou recall? Amant—indeed, but Mona doth Lovell (love all). This friend of ours, our joyous Nell, Her eyes say more than tongue can tell. ‘Music hath charms nor fails to win applause, When Mac or Blanche devote them to its cause. No maid was e'er more true to friendship's test Than Gladys Carson, soon to seek the West. To Mary Travis one day came great joy, 'Twas making programs—bliss without alloy. Dark hair and eyes, and a smile that will shine, Bood-n'er' is Mina, and yet she is fine. The Bible tells of mighty Samson’s fame. We're glad our Carrie bears this famous name. There's Lillian, whose honor never dies, Her fame in realms of oratory lies. Oh, Mattie's an unusual girl, we find, Kreul in name, but in nature most kind. To Hazel B. we turn with many a smile, For bright she is, and cheery all the while. Though ‘Ireland’ calls to mind the shamrock green, Sweet Katie ne'er the Emerald Isle hath seen. Florence, thy face an open book we see, Which reads, Tlere dwelleth truth and purity.' What anguish, worry, fun, that came With. Laura S.—(unpronounceable name) ! Fair maids who read thy names upon this roll, To thee we dedicate the f9tf scroll. Eulalian Basketball Team Mary Sampson (coach). Kdna IIouk. I.aura Parks. Marion Pease.

He, a grewsomc wretch, we grant For he stole our elephant, Stole our sacred elephant, Whose great praise we meant to chant! When we, happy victors, came To our hall to sing his fame, Homer's place was vacant, quite, Oh! 'twas sad indeed—the sight, We scarce could restrain the tear While we searched him far and near, Even in the Orio's hall Where suspicion first did fall. And we asked for generous Hale, Bade him come and tell the tale. First of all, he did deny But he saw that we might cry, So he climbed the dizzy height To the loft—Oh, happy sight!

The Shakes Shake Joke Book SHAKESPEAREAN CIRCLE. A great many interesting and funny things occur with- in a society circle. Lois B.—Why does she spend so much of her time traveling? Ruth B.—It always takes Ruth to bring gentlemen friends to the Shake-Aristo Christmas tree. One of the debaters almost lost his honors on account of a stroll with a sedate little Shake.

Florence C—I believe in keeping ten o'clock rules only when you have company out of town.—“Reasons. Edrie C.—Why is she so changeable—sometimes she wears a diamond and sometimes she doesn't. (?) Sudah C.—Isn't so busy this year as last because she is a “Senior. Ada C.—Wanted—By the Chapman Hall girls an explanation of the date January 6, 9i6. Nance D.—Some people are so easily fussed. May D.—Why is she so busy doing fancy work ? Eloise D.—Why does she go home so often ? Sometimes she takes her sister Shakes with her and then forgets to to introduce her sister to her dear friends.

Louise S.—Her greatest delight to get scarlet fever and send girls out to hunt for rooms on Sunday. Florence Collins can never say she hasn't had a pro- posal. Just ask her about one Saturday night in the Aristo Hall. Faye P.—A violin and a trombone sound very well to- gether. Lois B. doesn't seem to like to appear on the program. Winifred M. can't break away from Cornell—likes to spend part of her vacation there at least. Feme B. thinks the Domestic Science Course is a prac- tical one with society work omitted. Emma R. has a fancy for matrimonial readings. Amy Moore—Why is it that the curtains at Rogers' are pulled down so far on Saturday, Sunday and Monday mornings? Helen C.—Too industrious during society copying papers. Lena B.—Noted for her famous Gettysburg; speech when taken into society.

Eva M.—In case you want to know about fashions ask Eva. Mabel M.—I do hope he won't get sore. Elizabeth D.—Cannot get used to the ways of Mr. Griffith and study hours, because she has to be told to get off the porch at 4:30 in the afternoon; that it is study hours. Mabel G.—Doesn’t go with boys since Christmas. Why? Because she is wearing a sparkler. OUR HONORARY MEMBERS. Our honorary members we want you all to know.

I:uth H« rv«T. Shakes HE ONLY compensation for the void that most be left in the ranks of the Shakes by oar girls who graduate, is the superior quality of the new members who have found their way into the circle during this year. Much as we regret the loss of the old girls, who have worked faithfully and well to uphold the place of honor which our predecessors have gained among our sister societies, we can but rejoice as we look around and see the bright happy faces of the new Shakes. On the whole the past year has been one of both pleasure and profit. Unusually good programs worked up with the true society spirit are balanced by a scries of genu- ine good times. The first event of the school year was the joint invitation with the Aristos, our brother society. Lest the newly elected get the idea that society life would all be as smooth and easy as the row up river to the cot- tage, they were called upon to prove their loyalty, devo- tion and faith in a superior judgment, by marching through a patch of sandbars. This little party served to introduce the new members of the two societies and to pave the way for many other social events. We are proud to say that never has a more loyal and sympathetic feeling: existed between the brother and sister societies. The Shakes, according to their custom, took an active part in the school activities of the year. After exciting preliminary contests Miss Florence Meyer was chosen to represent the society in the oratorical contest and Miss Ada Chambers in the declamatory. Wc are justly proud of our representatives, Miss Chambers winning first place for her society. The good athletic material and encouraging spirit of our members made a strong basketball team possible. We are hoping for even better results next winter. Each year as the circle broadens and commencement time approaches it is with a feeling of sadness that we say good-bye. But the old, old saying, Once a Shake always a Shake, gives comfort to the old girls and strength to those who are left to do the work of the society in the coming year.

A bachelor, too—very nice! And that he most marry some charming young miss Was everyone's heartfelt advice. But though he had charms anyone might desire, And a smile that would make one rejoice, There was one thing about him most dolefully wrong, This man had a falsetto voice. There once was a maid who was wonderfully Whose face was both coy, and fair. Her eyes were as blue as a soft summer sky. And stray sunbeams were hid in her hair. She was sought in society—always in style. Her gowns hobble, harem and sheath. But one thing about her—I'm sad to relate— This maid had a falsetto teeth. Now the man met the maid on a bright day in spring And was carried away by her smile. But though well they progressed, still the teeth and the voice Caused grievances all of the while. He feared she'd not want him and she feared the same Till one day with trembling and dread He up and proposed, and then—smackety smack!! They soon had the falsetto wed. —Dixie Wilson, 'JO. Philomathean HOUGH many changes come to the Philo- mathean roll each year, yet the old spirit which animated the exponents of activity and progress in the past still lives in the hearts and minds of the Philos today. Thus, this year's achievements have added much to the record of the Philomathean Society. The Philos have always been prominent in the art of public speaking. By comparing the names of the debaters on the last few intercollegiate debates with the Philo roll we find that practically all were Philos. Of the six Ames debaters last fall five were Philos; of the six Kansas de- baters last spring four were Philos, while there were four Philos on the preceding Kansas team. What is still more gratifying is the fact that the high debating record of the past is being maintained right up to date. In the recent Kansas preliminary the Philos succeeded in placing five of the six men that are to battle with Kansas this spring. Not only have there been accomplishments in a literary way, for socially the Philos have been abreast the times also. During the year many pleasant festivities occurred; one of the most important among them being the annual invitation stunt pulled off last fall, together with the Alphas. This was held up the river in one of the cabins. The leading event socially during the year was the annual Philo-Alpha banquet, which occurred on Washington’s birthday. It is with great satisfaction that the Philos look back upon the past; it is with confidence and a high expectancy that the victorious past enables the Philos to delve into the unknown realms of the future. The Philos realize that the excellent record of the past has been recorded its place among the “has bcens,” and that it cannot carry them into a future haven of rest; but that the past record and achievements are to be used only as a source of inspiration as they go forth to conquer the future with the same de- termination and perseverance that animated the exponents of victory in former days.

IGHTEEN years ago this spring the faculty of the Iowa State Teachers' College found it necessary to provide for a third literary society for men. A committee of students was ap- pointed, a constitution was drafted, a sufficient number of charter members were secured and the Orio Society took its place among the societies of the school. From that time to the present Orio, through its members, has rung dear to its motto, “Ever onward step by step. Orio is young in years, but Hs roll of honor is long with the names of men who have taken the motto of their society as the motto of their lives and “step by step have reached places of usefulness and honor. When the societies made their canvass for new members last fall Orio received its full quota of the best. These new men have taken hold with vigor and have done their part to make all programs and society events measure up to the high standard set by former years. Not only within the society has the work of the year been of a high order, but in all of the school activities rep- resentatives of the Star and Crescent have taken a promi- nent part. An Orio is serving as editor-in-chief of the College Eye and another is serving in the same capacity on the Old Gold staff. An Orio won first place in the men's Inter- Society Oratorical Contest and another won first place in the Preliminary Inter-State Oratorical Contest and before these lines leave the press he will have represented Teach- ers' College in the Inter-State Contest at Cape Girardeau, Missouri. And, when the preliminary debate to select debating teams to meet Kansas was held, it was an Orio who, among twelve competitors, received the highest marks of the judges. Not alone in oratory and debate has Orio held its own, but in athletics as well. It has been well represented on the various teams of the college. In the Inter-Society Contests it took the relay race and the baseball championship, and in the recent State Gymnastic Meet Orios as individuals won first, second and fourth places among fifteen com- petitors. Orio stands, too, for the development of the social side of life. A number of events of this nature were planned and carried out during the year, always with the help and co-operation of the Orio sisters, the Clios. The Orios have found that when Clios lend a hand it is help indeed. The invitation, the Hallowe'en party, the Christmas tree gathering and the April Fool program and spread are among the more prominent events planned and enjoyed by the two societies together. But the one event that eclipsed all others was the banquet given by the Clios to the Orios. This affair so exquisitely planned and so beautifully carried out by our sister society will remain a cherished memory to Orios there present for years to come. Orio is greatly in- debted to Clio for at least another year. This has indeed been a successful year for the Orio Society. Every member is a loyal one. And in being loyal to the society he does not forget that the society is a part of the greater Iowa State Teachers' College and every member stands ready whenever opportunity offers, whether it be in debate, oratory or athletics, to add to the long list of her admirable achievements and to the honor of her great name.

America and the World’s Peace Oration Given by Glen Davis Winner of First Place in Inter-State Oratorical Contest May 5, $9tt. France and Germany are disputing the possession of the border territory, Alsace and Lorraine. Passion is stirred to white heat, and war is declared. Two mighty armies face each other in grim determination. The blast of the bugle, the rattle of musketry, the boom of cannon—and the battle of Worth is on. The rush of attacking infantry, the sweep of charging cavalry, the hiss of bullet, the shriek of shell, the wail of the wounded, the moans of the dying—all testify to the awful carnage. The pall of smoke rises. The country side is devastated—its fields lying waste, its dwell- ings smouldering in ruins. Ten thousand men have fought their last fight; five thousand more are mutilated, mangled, maimed for life. The brief battle of swords is over, but in thousands of homes in France and Germany the lingering battle of life has just begun. Children bereft of a father, the widow facing life alone, the maiden bowed in her first sorrow, the gray-haired couple broken with their last grief, are silent witnesses of the indescribable aftermath of war. Yet for centuries this was the approved and chosen method of attaining supremacy and of avenging real and imaginary wrongs. Individuals settled their disputes by the duel; tribes and nations by war. But for nineteen hundred years the leaven of the angel message, “Peace on earth, good will to men,” has been permeating society. Slowly the masses have realized that “the last argument to which kings resort” is folly. Slowly the sentiment has grown that war is hell. Not until the close of the eighteenth century did this growing sentiment against war find definite expression in John Jay's treaty with Great Britain. But the nineteenth century saw two hundred and sixty international disputes peaceably settled by arbitration and closed with the most significant event in the history of the struggle towards the world's peace—the council of the nations at the Hague in J899. This council codified inter- national law and established a permanent tribunal of arbi- tration. Eight years later, a second Hague conference at- tended by the representatives of forty-six nations made arbitration obligatory for all cases of financial differences, and established the first international prize court in history. Nor does this institution exist in name only; for during the last decade twenty-five disputes have been arbitrated, in- cluding questions of vital interest, such as the Newfound- land Fisheries dispute between Canada and the United States, questions of national honor such as the Dogger Banks incident between Great Britain and Russia. Yet despite the fact that public sentiment is opposed to war, despite the fact that a system of international arbi- tration is superseding the old regime, billions of dollars are spent every year to maintain armies and navies. One-half of Germany's revenue is spent for munitions of war. “Every German peasant carries on his back the burden of another in the army.” France spends five times as much for her armament as she spends for her schools. For every dollar spent on education, Italy spends eight dollars in preparation for war. One-half of England's total budget is charged to her armament. Russia with her towns swarming with paupered beggars, with her thousands who die annually for want of food and shelter, with millions of people on the verge of starvation, is spending three hundred million year- ly on her armament; and this in a time of peace. But this, you say, is in military Germany, conquest- loving England, arrogant Spain, revolutionary Russia. I ask you to look to our own United States. For eight years preceding 903, our army and navy, then deemed adequate, cost us on an average of $50,000,000 per year. Yet with war less imminent, with the trend of public sentiment towards the arbitration of international difficulties, the last eight years show an average cost of $ 75,000,000, a total increase over the preceding eight years of one thousand millions. This increase would pay the national debt and leave a balance of $ 58,000,000. One-half of that increase would defray the estimated cost of all the deep waterway projects; the other half would defray the estimated cost of all the irrigation projects contemplated within the next quarter century. Last year for pensions and armament we appropriated the enormous sum of $44 ,000,000. In one year, a sum sufficient to construct and equip a transconti- nental railway; in one year, a sum sufficient to rebuild San Francisco; in one year, a sum sufficient to pay the entire cost of the Panama Canal. Last year congress authorized the construction of two battleships. The cost of a single shot fired from one of these vessels will be approximately $ ,000; the cost of a broadside, about $ 00,000. The amount expended for one of these battle- ships would purchase and reforest the burned over White Mountain reserve. It would build fifty vocational schools caring for 75,000 students yearly. It would build two con- gressional libraries or two universities like Harvard. All this from the cost of a single battleship which after ten years of service goes to the junk pile. This is the sacrifice of the United States to the god of war. What does this policy mean to the powers of the world? It means that tonight four million men in arms are sapping the life blood of the nations. If productively employed, these men would not only save the vast sums expended for their maintenance, but would actually earn two billion dollars annually. Armed peace is costing the nations ot the world twenty-two hundred millions of dollars each year—more than they spend for education, for the ma- chinery of government, for charitable institutions, for public improvements—in fact, more than they spend for all other governmental activities combined. And yet every great power is annually increasing its colossal expenditure for armament. Germany builds a new battleship. Eng- land, to maintain the balance of power, builds a dread- naught, and the other great nations must keep the pace. Such a competitive policy on the part of the nations can lead only to financial ruin. We are face to face with a strange paradox—forty-six nations in a compact looking toward the world’s peace, forty-six nations exhausting their resources in mad prep- aration for war; forty-six nations praying for peace, forty- six nations training their young men in tactics of war; teaching them that some day they may be called upon to defend their country against the wanton aggression of a neighbor; forty-six nations building forts, arsenals and battleships, and dedicating men and means to the cause of peace! Armed peace is no peace. As well may we argue that every man should carry a pistol in order to preserve peace with his neighbor. Such a policy, we know, is dangerous. Similarly so when applied to nations. In a time of inter- national difference when public feeling runs high, when excitement dethrones judgment, a large armament more frequently results in war than in peace. The fact is that thorough preparation for war at such a time precipitates war. Armed peace is the height of folly. The kind of peace we plead for is that existing between the republics of Chili and Argentine. In 1902 a controversy arose concerning the boundary line between these two countries. War seemed inevitable. The fleets and armies were waiting only the signal for combat. But wise states- manship prevailed and the dispute was submitted to King Edward of England for settlement. Then, realizing the danger of their armaments. Chili and Argentine signed a treaty limiting their military forces. Armies were dis- charged; battleships became carriers of commerce. Today, upon the highest accessible peak of the Cordilleras dividing these two nations stands a statute of the Christ bearing! this inscription: “Sooner shall the mountains crumble to dust than the Argentines and the Chilians break the peace which at the feet of Christ, the Redeemer, they have sworn to maintain. These two nations, once in constant warfare, have been living in perfect peace for more than a decade. Illustrious precedent for the disarmament of the powers! The time is ripe for the beginning of a new international regime. The nations of the earth are groaning under the burdens of excessive taxation. The masses are raising their voices in mighty appeal: “Let us disarm; the blood tax must cease. This demand is ringing at the door of every state house in every civilized land. Sound statesmanship and conservative diplomacy have taken up the slogan. Hear the words of ex-president Roosevelt: “Granted sin- cerity of purpose, the great powers of the world should find no difficulty in reaching an agreement which would put an end to the present costly and growing extravagance of expenditures for armament. The French prime minister says: “The present increase in military expenditures is driving France into bankruptcy. And he has made over tures to Germany to limit the armament on the border between the two countries. Sir Edwin Grey, leader of the British House of Commons, says: “The growth of arma- ment must, in the long run, break civilization down. President Taft, in a recent speech, suggested an arbitration treaty with Great Britain which will include all disputes between the two countries, and at the same time pleaded for international disarmament as the only means to the world's peace. Sir Edwin Grey, referring to the president's words as “bold, courageous and pregnant with conse quence declared that such a speech ought not to go un challenged. As a matter of fact, it set all England aflame. Nine hundred conferences were held in a single day, and councils representing ten thousand churches declared in favor of the proposed treaty and of ultimate disarmament. The tide of public opinion in favor of peace is rapidly rising; action is inevitable. With the powers driven to the verge of bankruptcy; with civilization breaking down: with the common people demanding relief; with conserva- tive statesmen calling for limitation of armaments; with forty-six nations in coference actually favoring such a movement; with two hundred and sixty international dis- putes peaceably settled by arbitration during the last cen- tury; surely the hour has come when resolution must give place to action. The powers are ready to begin the regime of peace. One of them must take the initiative. Which shall it be? The eyes of the world are turned toward the United States, whose wealth, power and strategic position, all argue that she must take the lead in the new regime. Will she rise to her responsibility ? “There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.” The flood-tide of peace is advancing; the opportunity of the ages is ours. Let us challenge the nations not to war, but to peace. Let our policy be, “Not another battle- ship, but millions to redeem the human mind from error;’ not another fort, but millions for the stimulation of pro- ductive industry; not another arsenal, but millions for the conservation of our natural resources.” Let us build mer- chantmen rather than men-of-war; let us build schools and colleges rather than forts and arsenals; let us teach our( young men the arts of peace rather than the arts of war. Then, one by one, the nations of the world will emulate our example, and the armaments of war will crumble to ruin or stand as monuments of a barbaric age—monstrous symbols of what man once endured. Then the historian will record the most significant event of modern times; “The United States of America has 'beaten the sword into the plow share and the spear into the pruning hook;’ has led the nations in supplanting the regime of war by thr regime of peace; has ushered in the era 'when man shall learn war no more forever.’ ” Smallpox Nevermore (With due apologies to Edgar Allen Poe.) But so hasty were our motions, As we strove to please the notions Of this crowd of restless maidens Who had ne'er been caged before. That calamities unnumbered Soon our jolly girls encumbered; Sad indeed was our condition Once upon an evening dreary, As some maidens blithe and cheery, Sipping chocolate, eating candy, Dreaming not of coming woe Gayly chattered, work ignoring. Suddenly a call imploring Came from Freda, sick and fainting, As she dropped upon the floor. “ 'Tis the smallpox, someone muttered As we hastened from the door. “Only this and nothing more. Chapman Hall was filled with sorrow; “Vaccination on the morrow, Said the doctor, “No admittance, And he firmly closed the door. Anxiously next mom we waited, Faces white and breath abated, As we bared our arms and watched him Carving those who'd come before. Ah, the piteous cries and shrieking As we hastened from the door. “Vaccination—never more! Other troubles lay before us; Hunger's pangs were sweeping o'er us; And we dared not go to luncheon, As we did in days of yore. But with scarce “three loaves and fishes, Many pans and chafing dishes, Glorious meals were served in courses, Gayly served on every floor; Oh, Domestic Science flourished As it never did before, For we cooked—and noting mere. As we crept from floor to floor. Woe-begone and tear-stained faces Could be seen in every door. Burns and bruises—nothing more. First our Ada fell the stairs up With a pot of scalding chocolate, And her screams of anguish echoed Through each chamber, o'er and o'er. Soon the “bunch were standing round her, But, of course, 'twas Fay who found her; And her clothes were soon in fragments, Chocolate soaked, upon the floor. Then strong Nell in terror fainted, Thing she'd never done before. This is trouble—nothing more. Bonnie Kathryn who had left us Since the plague had so bereft us, Wandered home, forlorn, afflicted, Marks of suffering she bore. Then prevailed fresh consternation; But each found an occupation; Green forgot her fright in scrubbing, Till her fingers off she wore. Hickey pouted; Helwig burned her; Nora bawled, her hair she tore. Shall this last forevermore? “Plate” and Alice in the basement, Wiping dishes by the casement, Found themselves in close surroundings In a deep hole in the floor. Broken dishes did not matter, For a peal of merry laughter Proved that not a bone was broken, Though their clothes they slightly tore. Like Elaine, Ruth dreamed and waited For a glimpse of Jap once more— “Is he coming never more?” But the days were tedious growing. Hours were not so swiftly going, As when rushing off to classes Each a world of trouble bore. So we sought some new diversion; We could take no long excursion, But La Vere and Margaret helped us To forget our woes once more. To our contribution basket Kept for alms beside the door, Came limburger—nothing more. Ah, distinctly wc remember What wry faces every member Of the household wore, while breathing That rich fragrance o’er and o’er. May and Rena found the treasure, And they took profoundcst pleasure In depositing rich portions In each room; all this we bore. But when onions, strong and fragrant, Filled the air from floor to floor, Hazel shouted: “Nothing more!” Thus, in mingled joy and sorrow, Came and went each long tomorrow, Till our five days' “term” was finished. And we joined the world once more. Freda’s smallpox, though a fable, Will, in days to come, enable Us who bore the fright so calmly (?) To cry staunchily o'er and o’er With the multitude who tremble When a germ comes nigh their door: “Microbes! Smallpox! Nevermore!” —Mary Alice Hyde. Alumni Banquet Held in Iowa City, February, 1911 NE OF THE pleasantest results of college life in recent years has been the forming of college associations, in which former students as well as alumni meet and revive the memory of the old school days. Several such associations have been organized by former Cedar Falls students. In Iowa the best known arc the ones at Des Moines, Iowa City and Waterloo. Since so many students follow their school days at Cedar Falls by a course at the University the annual banquet and reunion has become quite an event. The organization is known as The Normal Club of the State University of Iowa. Its third annual banquet was held on Tuesday evening, Feb- ruary 7, t9tt, in Iowa City. The guests assembled in the parlors of the First Methodist Church and exchanged greet- ings. The members of the faculty of the Iowa State Teachers’ College who were present were President Sccrley, Professor Wright and Miss Rice. They were delighted to meet so many of their former students going on in educa- tional work. A delicious course dinner was served by the church women to ninety-two guests. After this good cheer had been disposed of the speaking began. Dr. B. F. Sham- baugh, the toastmaster of the evening, was brilliant, witty and gracious. The following toasts were offered: Suiistca ...................Professor Wright, L S. T. C What Next in Education ...........Professor Weld, S. U. I. The Greatest Motto ..................Miss Rice, I. S. T. C. The Bars ..........................R. F. Clough, Alumnus The Influence of a Great Teacher . .Miss Rose Friedman The Pedagogue Chanteclccr . .President McLean, S. U. L Why and What Then ............President Seerlcy, L S. T. C Professor Wright’s enigmatic-looking subject turned out to be the attractive one—S. U. L-L S. T. C—A State University of Iowa—Iowa State Teachers’ College alumni, and his speech was worthy of his subject. The addresses were all well received, though too many to be reviewed in detail. It was a great pleasure to the students again to hear President Seerley's heartfelt congratulations and words of inspiration. After the speeches Dr. Shambaugh read letters of greeting from Dr. John Parish, of Denver, Colo., and Dr. Louis Pelzer, of Montana, who are graduates o' both schools. Another delightful feature of the program was the singing of five former Minnesingers, accompanied by Miss Iowa Chase. The young men who sang were Harry Huff- man, Mayne Spaulding, Paul Colgrove, F. W. Bruins, Grover Alderman. The closing feature of the program was the singing by all present of the Iowa song, Old Gold, composed by Dr. John Parish, therefore the common prop- erty of both schools. Among those in attendance all but five had been connected with the Cedar Falls school; six alumni present are members of the faculty of S. U. L Almost every department of the University was repre- sented. The chairman of the committee of arrangements was Macy Campbell, who has since won the intercollegiate debate for Iowa. All in all, it was a glad occasion for tho« present. The Provisional gives her first debate. “There is nothing so royal as truth and kingly as kindness.

Training School Dramatic HE Dramatic Department under the direction of Miss Martin is becoming: more and more a feature of great interest in the school. The faculty, students, alumni and citizens look forward to the Commencement Play as one of the chief events of Commencement week. The 1910 class gave “Hamlet” and this was the best work that had yet been done at the college, also the most difficult. During the present year there have been large classes in Elocution, Repertoire and Dramatic Work, so large that an additional instructor was needed in the winter, and Mrs. Dean, of Jacksonville Women’s College, who was on a year’s leave of absence, was secured and ably assisted in the work. The public sessions of the societies have been discon- tinued, but in their place we now have the mid-winter play, and the first one, “The Man Who Came Down,” was a brilliant success. The class in Applied Drama this year had about thirty- five members. Scenes were worked out from “Merchant of Venice” and “Macbeth.” These students not only learn the vocal interpretation of the plays, but the stage business and how to put on plays themselves when they are out teaching in high schools. The Commencement play this year is to be Sheridan’s “School for Scandal,” a classic comedy, and it promises to fulfil the expectations of those who have seen the class plays from year to year. In addition to the regular work of the students of the department there have been a series of declamatory contests given by first term Elocution stu- dents, and the high grade of work done by them predicts good material for future work.

The first annual meet was held three years ago. Thd schools represented were Luther, Iowa and L S. T. C. This meet re- sulted in a victory for Luther. Last year these same schools were represented by teams. The result of last year's meet was a victory for the I. S. T. C. team. L S. T. C took first with 260 points out of a possible 300 points. Luther took second with 244.5 points, while Iowa took third with 224.25. The winning team last year was composed of J. Putnam, Bennett, Barnum, Bolts and Sheffield. The championship banner, first, sec- and and fourth high honors went to L S. T. C. A great deal of interest has been manifest among the I. S. T. C. men this year and another winning team was developed. On February 25th the third annual gymnastic meet took place in the college gym. Luther and L S. T. C were represented by full teams of five men. Iowa and St. Joseph’s College withdrew on account of lack of competent men in this work. Messrs. Burch, Wageley and Lee acted as judges and marked each exercise on the following basis: Approach........................................ J point Dismount ....................................... 2 points Correct exercise (in case of set ex.) or difficulty of ex. (in case of voluntary)............... 3 points General form ................................... 4 points Total...............................JO points Three men from each team were allowed to compete in each event. Each man personally was required to enter not less than two events nor more than four. The competition in each event consisted of one set exercise which had been previously agreed upon and practiced for, and one volun- tary exercise of the contestant’s own choosing. There were five events, namely, horizontal bar, parallel bars, horse, flying rings and tumbling. The competition in each event was the closest it has ever been and even better work was done than that of last year's team. In this year's team three new and inex- perienced men were found. Persistent and consistent work on their part and careful, diligent coaching on the part of Professor Seymour brought these men good marks. Bolt: and Sheffield were the two men of last year's team and they showed a marked improvement over their work of last year, taking first and second high individual scores. A review of the following summary will show what each man did for his school: Summary of Score I. S. T. C Luther.

The I. S. T. C team captured all of these prizes. This work is becoming recognized in nearly all colleges at the present time, and it has been found to be very profit- able to each man who participated, for it gives him a bodily control that no other athletic work will. This bodily con- trol gives accuracy and precision which are the main factors in gymnastic work. This year's team was composed of Boltz, Sheffield, Miller, Magee and Anderson. During the coming year let the men of L S. T. C get busy and keep up the reputation that our teams of J9J0 and i9ii have established. One week prior to the state gymnastic meet a dual meet with the Waterloo Y. M. C A. team was held at the Waterloo Y. M. C A., which resulted in a victory for the Y. M. C. A. team.

Wageley and Burch acted as judges, marking on the same basis as that used in the state meet. “Shef.” “That Football Team!” What's the matter with our football team? They're all right! Every player's a dream! The reason why they just won that one game Was because they didn't care for the fame. And the honor and joy of winning them all— Because, don't you know, they did that last fall! So what was the use of trying to beat? They were polite and just took a back seat— Except in this one game which we spoke about, In which they surely played some, without a doubt. Sixty-three to nothing! That was the score; Gee, but those----------------boys were sore! But this game was played to prove to you What our boys could do if they wanted to. So here's to the team who didn’t—but could!

This year it saw that it was not truly repre- senting the students for whom it exists, nor the school of which it is the main publication. The Normal Eyte was a good enough name when its publishers were Normalites them- selves, but what would college students want with such a misnomer? There is something in a name, thought they. Students and faculty were invited to suggest a name appropriate for a school paper published by the students of the Iowa State Teachers’ College. Many excellent names were suggested and submitted to a vote. The above name received the majority of the votes cast, and since that time the paper has appeared by its new name and in a new dress. The College Eye stands for the great body of students in a great teachers’ school. Subjects bearing on the prep- aration of teachers in its various phases, as well as mention of the teachers—alumni out in the field—constitute the bulk of the material contained in it. This is its prime purpose. It should also be remembered that its publishers are stu- dents, not experienced journalists. The paper, therefore, should be original, but unlike other journals in that it has a new untried staff each year. It should represent the best effort of the student body at the time of its publication, no more. The paper for the closing year is to be commended. The business management has been businesslike and its editorial staff has not been behind those of other years. It is worthy the support of the alumni and undergraduates of the school. The Annual desires to call attention to the unprece- dented excellence of the theatrical attractions for next sea- son. Prof. K------ and Prof. P----- arc both booked for Romeo and Juliet. Note.—The management announces that different actresses each week will be cast for the role of Juliet. A Toast to the I. S. T. C. Girl The kindcrgartncrl The kindergartner girl! She captures my heart with her cheeks all aflame. And ensnares my feet with her Lobby-Loo game, As at parties she sets us ail in a whirl. And yet here's a quaff to the S. P. girl. Be it Eva, or Flossie, or Frances, or Beth; With lesson plans she's so near driven to death That she never finds time her fair locks to curl. The Physical Training girl! Ah, she's a fine girl! Charmingly graceful she trips down the street, A fairer damsel you'd ne'er care to meet, As her trophies and banners she'll joyfully unfurl. But the driven-to-death Domestic Science girl, I verily believe that she deserves naught but ones, For she knows everything, from Buddhism to buns, And she haunteth the kitchen, the D. S. girl. And let's give a rouse to the Musical girl; Warbling all day is this talented maid; That she'll turn into a lark, I'm often afraid, For her trills and her tra-la's set my brain in a whirl. Then comes the Senior girl! Ah, the Senior girl! She almost invariably captures my heart As she talks of travel, of books, and of art, When, solemnly gowned, her wisdom she'll hurl. Then three cheers and hurrah for the sweet T. C girl! When the future confronts us, solemn and grave. With roses her pathway we always will pave. To make life worth living for our own college Pearl. There is an old maid at the Normal, Whose ways are exceedingly formal, And when on the street Young men she does meet, They do say, How very abnormal! A stands for Anderson, Thomas Preacher you know, Who always goes to church; sits right in the front row! B is for Bagby so grand and tall, I’d hate to be around if he should fall! C is for Cap Ludcman—good at Dutch— Is his hair white? Not much. D is for Do, pronounced with a long o; Wonder what she did to make her hair grow? E is for “Eddy” who’s been “Hunting” about; He’s been pierced by “Cupid” without a doubt! F—that’s for Frye—our football man; Can he make a touchdown? You bet he can! G is for George, who to Independence goes; There’s a reason for this—goodness knows! H—that’s “Cupid” Hunter, you bet, She hasn't decided between Jap and “Eddy” yet. I, little “Ikey,” who holds a little “Hand” And would like to encircle it with a golden band. J—that's for Jap, who can sing a song Which is terribly sweet, when sung for “Long.” K stands for Kirketeg, who lives here you see. So he never has to worry about the key. L is for Loving, an appropriate name. Everyone likes her just the same! M is for “Mitch” who's not a bore; If you don't believe it, just ask “More! N is for North—nickname “Molly”— Not exactly handsome, but oh, how jolly! O is for Ott—hully gee! Don't you think he Ott to give ice cream free? P—that's for Pauline—“Homer” the fair— You can spot her a block off by that tow-head of hair. Q is for someone awfully queer, I'd hate to mention his name right here! R is for Richards, who wears a yellow sweater; There's nothing would make him look any better. S is for Slim who in the winter wore a toque, Everyone thought it quite a joke! T is for Thompson. Gee, she's cute! She's engaged. Is she? Oh, shoot! U stands for u-a 11-no, the candy kid. Directions for seeing him: “Take off the lid.” V is for Veatch, the curly-headed lad; Suppose he'd lose those curls! Wouldn't it be sad? W stands for Willy—sometimes called Willy G.; She's always on time to classes, you sec! X, Y and Z are for anyone under the sun. Hip, hip, hooray! Gee, I'm glad I'm done. —Do Lamson. These sayings are jokes, of course you know Written only for fun; There are many of them that may not be so; We cannot please everyone. So read them all, and laugh at them, too, While you are looking them o'er, But if you find one written on you, Be careful and Don’t Get Sore. It may seem unfair, by no means just. But others may not think so; So swallow your dose, don’t think it a thrust, And don’t let the others know. We hope you will like every joke that is here.. Perhaps you might even want more, But if you find one that makes you feel queer, Be careful and Don’t Get Sore. Could You Conceive Jim H. with a hair cut? Jap without Ruth? Pinkie M. with black hair?

Tempus Will Fugit L I hurried down the corridor to Mr. Colgrove’s room. AH trembling I went in and sat down; I never could get over feeling certain that my doom Was sealed with Mr. Colgrovc's slightest frown. And sure enough, I bungled on what reflex action meant, And leaving, wondered how I'd ever dared To go there, where none but the wisest ever went, And go, too, with my lesson unprepared. n. I went to theory class. Miss Ward said, “When did Froebel die?” I boldly called out, “ 634.” Miss Ward looked quickly at me. Such an awful dunce was I! And I sat down gazing wildly at the door. “Please, what did you prepare for class?” Miss Ward then asked of me; “I'm sure I gave you nothing else to do Than learn the life of Froebel and the authors all agree He wasn't bom till 782.” HI. I went home quite despondent. “Now what is the use,” I thought, “I hate this school and all the studies, too. I wish I were away from here, and had a school and taught; Now that would be an ideal thing to do.” IV. And now my hopes are realized, I have a school and teach, I'm troubled not by lessons fierce to get; Instead of being preached to now, I am the one to preach— It's quite a mighty feeling, too—and yet When my Tommy will insist on saying 2x2 is nine, And Mary says New York is in Brazil, I sometimes most forget it was to be a thing divine To have a school and a teacher's chair to fill. V. And sometimes on the luckless days when everything goes wrong, I do declare it's pretty hard to smile; And oh, how I would love to leave the busy teacher’s throng To be a student just a little while. I used to think that Mr. Colgrove dearly loved to frown, But I scold Susie just as he did me. It isn't nearly so much fun to call a pupil down As I was certain it was going to be. VL We're all just like the song about the Froggies’ Swimming School— We listen hard and learn of wiser frogs, And then we take what they have taught and start an- other school And croak around ourselves, on other logs. But after all, 'tis knowledge that's to make the world go round, So we must teach to others what we know. Frogs can't be tadpoles always, and when wisdom they have found They must shed their tails and help the tadpoles grow. —Dixie Willson, '10. BUT THIS 1$ WHAT HAPPENED. Snap Shots To the African, animal, cannibal show, On a night in midwinter did all of os go, And there sights we saw that were awful as war On the African, animal, cannibal shore. Now dear Mr. Kadesch, a noble gallant, Provided himself with a sword and a lance; Two tickets he held and a big broad grin To keep the old lion from frowning at him. But near him there sat a lady so fair Of all German lasses, no rhino could dare To howl at, nor snort; not a foot could he go, For Kadesch was there at the animal show. Now, then, Mr. Peterson also was there, And no hungry crocodile ever could dare To harm a Miss (critic) so tall and so neat, Or the old crocodile would fall dead at his feet. Some more, too, were there at the animal show. But so many names we could not all know. Should any more knowledge you wish to receive, Just go to the faculty and you will believe. —E. M.

The House of Leigh L There's a singular attraction Hanging round the House of Leigh, There is something most inviting, What it is I cannot say. But from the youth Who's still uncouth To the bachelor man without a tooth, The House of Leigh seems wondrous gay And full of pep, forsooth. n. From September to gay June time There’s a path to Leigh's front door; That parlor never is so full But what there's room for more. So maidens wise. With dreamy eyes; So youths emitting heartfelt sighs, While time away, at the House of Leigh, And oh, how fast it flies. IIL But besides these blissful evenings, Sad though it may seem to say, There often are small tragedies At this famous House of Leigh; For sometimes when 'Tis after ten And the landlord's called and called again, He will not wait to contemplate, But puts out the best of men. IV. Still youths who have been asked to vacate (More times, too, than one) Will circulate around that house Like planets round the sun. But if they persist And still insist They simply will not be dismissed, I'm much afraid, ere long they've stayed They’ll be on the injured list. V. But after all perhaps that makes Them hang around the more; Perhaps within them rests a bit Of the feudal love of yore. Perhaps they go Because they know That many thorns with roses grow But through thick or thin, the brave hearts win- No others stand a show. So this singular attraction Still hangs round the House of Leigh; Perhaps it is the lovely girls, Perhaps not—who can say? But this or that, We'll doff our hat To the man who sticks to the thing he's at, And will do his part to win a heart. Though the Universe falls fiat. —Dixie Willson, 'JO. Safe Mr. Speedwell: “The wolf is at the door.” Mrs. Speedwell: “Well, he won't get in; the cook holds it isn't her place to answer the bell.” The Very Thing Sleep was knitting the ravelled sleeve of care. “Why not knit the hobble skirt? It's smaller,” we sug- gested. Baseball Motto A pitch in time saves the nine. It Will Happen A little girl was asked how old she was. “I was four,” she replied, “but one day I got five.” Smith Came Back A much-battered young man came into a hotel and wobbled up to the desk. “How do you do?” asked the clerk. “What can I do for you?” “I'd like to have Room Thirteen,” said the young man. “Room Thirteen?” asked the clerk, turning to look at the room-rack. “Why, I cannot give you that room. It is already occupied. Eut I can give you another room.” “Nope; must have Room Thirteen.” “But I cannot give you that room. It is occupied.” “By whom?” “Mr. R. R. Smith.” “That's all right,” said the young man, “I'm R. R. Smith. I just fell out of the window.” A Natural Mistake . The servants were abed and the doctor answered the bell himself. A colored man stood on the steps holding: a large package. Is Miss Matildah, the cook, at home, sah?” asked the man. “Yes, but she has retired.” “Can I leab dis fo her, sah?” “Certainly,” said the doctor. He took the bundle from which flowers and buds were protruding, and, after bidding the man goodnight, carefully carried it to the kitchen, where he deposited it, paper and all, in a pan of water. The doctor thought nothing more of the affair until he heard Matildah's angTy voice raised in conversation with the maid. “Ef I had de pusson heah,” cried the cook, “dat put mah new spring hat in dis yer dish pan, I'd scald 'im fo' sho!” “Frank, I want to borrow your mug to shave.” “Oh, go shave your own mug.” He (at a ball game) x “There's Jim—he'll be our best man!” Shes “Oh, George! This is so sudden!” Book Seller: “Have you read all of Shakespeare's works?” Customer: “Yes, unless he wrote some during the past year.” Teacher: “Is there any difference between 'nautical' and 'marine'?” Pupil: “No, one is the cinnamon of the other.” “Who wrote most, Dickens, Bulwer or Warren?” “Warren wrote ‘Now and then,' Bulwer Night and Morning,' but Dickens wrote 'All the Year Around.' ” The Reason Why Anne: Why is it you don't seem to like Baldwin ?” Mabel (disgustedly): “Oh, the cognomen is too sig- nificant. You know Baldwin apples are fair to look upon, but they spoil so easily. Anything but an overly mellow Baldwin! A Fairy Tale Once upon a time in a certain house—not on College Hill—there roomed two room-mates. Now, for a landlady they had a very kind (?) old lady who was always care- ful to regulate the furnace so that none of her roomers could ever complain of being too warm. Of course, if they were too cold and asked for heat, this obliging landlady would say that she was just going down to “fire in,” while the girls inwardly wondered why she didn't “fire up.” If the wind happened to be blowing when heat was asked for, these little girls invariably met with the landlady's never- changing, self-satisfied reply that the wind was “in their corner” and it was difficult to heat that room, anyway. So things went on until at last, with serious faces, these poor little girls declared they could endure it no longer. Come what might, they decided they must have heat or perish in a desperate attempt to get it. So, shaking with— cold, they went to their landlady and in solemn tones an- nounced that the radiator was “stone cold.” That was just before supper. Returning from their evening meal they were somewhat surprised, to say the least, upon finding a “great, huge” thermometer conspic- uously hung near the radiator and, oh, could it be true? There was heat! And they were warm ever afterward. M. O. The Editor on his way to India Seniors’ Farewell Ever on the held or rostrum Noble victories yours have won; And we Joy to sing thy praises Of each worthy champion. Years shall pass and we may wander Far beyond thy fair domain, But where'er our fortune leads us, Still our hearts with thee remain. Fare thee well, our Alma Mater, Fare thee well forever more, Out beyond the harbor steering, We must sail Life's ocean o'er. Long within the peaceful precincts We have labored faithfully, Though we climb thy hill no longer We shall e'er be true to thee. The The quality of the day plunged everyone, regardless of race, color or previous condition of perfect digestion, into a state of soapy meekness and biliousness. Eloise sat on the arm of the steamer chair which was occupied by her usually effusive brother, and gazed with- out emotion at the sickly blueness of the sky, the more sickly greenness of the sea, and the most sickly countenance of those lounging the length of the deck. Perhaps this state of nature—and anatomy—caused Eloise to reply rather ungraciously to her brother’s remark that he hoped conditions would change, permitting the costume ball to take place on schedule. “Yes, you seem to be most keen about the balls lately. You’ve been fussing over your rig ever since the thing was announced, though I can't quite make out whether it's that queenly Miss Damon, or Verna Gates. If you intend to spend your summer dwaddling over girls you might as well have stayed in Fairport and stuck to Marion. Whether the remark was hurled as a censure or a tease, only the tone of the voice could have implied, and it did so, without even a small margin for doubt. Dan, thereupon mustered more vim than one yould have thought possible, and replied, much to the surprise of Eloise, in the same spirit. Look here, Sis, if you’re going to claw the air like that all the time, the first thing you know your doting brother is going to be pretty sore. I didn’t come to hang after the girls, and I don't intend to. Let’s make a fair exchange. You cut the fellows, and I'll do the same thing by the ladies. Here's my hand on it. Eloise dropped one hand into both of Dan's big ones, and he laughingly pulled her down on his lap and kissed her forehead. Dear little Sis. It's a shame for a great big giraffe like me to tease a fairy gazelle. Fool “All right, Daners, boy. I’ll stick to you, too. What’s your costume ?” “Oh,” drawled Dan, his eyes on a gray-winged gull, “I’m not quite sure. What’s yours?” “Not telling,” laughed Eloise, as she ran lightly across the deck, calling after her—“Don’t forget.” “Oh, no, I won't forget,” said Dan, with a smile which might have betokened much. Perhaps affection for his sister. Perhaps—merely the hope of a happy dream as he turned over and yawned. The Italian orchestra sat above the balcony at the far end of the ball room and played. Then it tossed off a “julep,” wiped its mouth on its gold-braided coat sleeve, and played again. An admiring group beneath the balcony were gathered around the May queen. Spanish bravadoes, gypsy maids. Queen Elizabeths all bowed before this slender sovereign, while she stood, majestic and silent, only a pink, well- formed chin and throat visible beneath her mask. The music swelled to an uproarious climax—and ceased. As it did so the crowd about the May Queen became aware of the tinkling of many bells, and they beheld strolling toward them, the April Fool, in cap and bauble. He walked as though a slim, unruly elfin were encased in each be- spangled leg, and another equally slim and unruly in each lanky arm, jig, jig, jogging along, straight toward the part- ner who by all rights most certainly should be his. The crowd made way for him and he walked straight to the Queen. Dropping on one knee before her he lifted her slender gloved hand to his lips, and then as the music began he rose, and without so much as “by your leave” swung her easily through the crowd which circled them and away across the floor. Then as the music swelled, and the lights twinkled saucily, the happiness of the whole world seemed to fill the heart of this fun-loving April Fool, and before he was well aware of it, he felt quite mad with love for this silvery creature—quite determined to be for always the King with this beautiful Queen of May. So passed the evening, till, happy to the point of dizzi- ness, and proud to the point of explosion, the April Fool led his entrancing partner through one of the long windows to the little balcony garden, and ensconscing her in a great canopy chair near the fountain, he dropped on its edge be- side her. The rose-colored canopy did its rose-colored duty on her soft hair and shimmering gown. T would have taken a brave heart to overlook her charms—one braver, indeed, than that of the April Fool, but he said nothing—however much he may have thought. They listened in silence to the music and watched in silence the motley crowd passing like forms in a kaleido- scope past the long windows. As she watched them her rose-colored, perfumed fan slid unrestrained from her lap to the floor. He picked it up, and without a word slipped it into his blouse. Then he leaned forward slightly and whis- pered, “I shall be here tomorrow at eight. Will you come?” She gave not the slightest sign that she had heard him, as he dabbled the floppy toe of one absurdly floppy shoe in the fountain, and waited. Finally, as the music for the last dance began, she arose and moved toward the window. “Yes,” she said softly, as they stepped through, and swung once more across the floor. “Yes, I will come.” Unlike most nights when lovers meet—there was no moon. Only a rose-colored circle of light from the room within illumined the trysting place of the April Fool and the Queen of May. He waited near the window, tenderly clasped in one hand a perfumed fan. He thought of all the things he would say to her. Why wait to be conventional? Indeed no! With only three more days abroad, most certainly convention must be flung aside, and as he heard the swish of skirts, the tap of small feet, and caught a shadowy white figure approaching, he began by stepping around the fountain to meet her. He reached for one of her hands and drew her into the circle of light, his heart beating wildly. She raised her eyes to his and, without a word, he dropped her hand and stepped back a pace, two paces, three paces—back to the window, and through it. “Would you—would you care for a lemon ice, Eloise ?” he said, at last, rather sourly. “No, thanks, Lan,” she answered coldly, as she moved away from him. “So you were the April Fool ?” “Leave out the ‘April ” he grunted, as he started across the floor, “but I'm the rest of it, all right.” And the perfumed fan lay on the floor, in the circle of rose-colored light—forgotten. Dixie Willson, 'JO. (With Apologies to Tennyson.) In the spring a sterner frown settles on the Prof's high brow, In the spring, if we want grades, to our books we meekly bow; In the spring, studying takes most all we have of spunk. In the spring, the student's fancy gravely turns to thoughts of flunk.

For each noble purpose planned and achieved Leaves upon you a stenciled impression, And adds to you what you have never conceived, A symbol time never can lessen. sp135 A Fabrication of Ov The summer days were so pleasant that their call for an outing party could no longer be resisted. So, on one of the prettiest days, we set forth. As we came in sight of the Woods, each of the party thrilled with the thought of the Mutch anticipated ride on the lake nearby. Our little party, strangely, consisted of representatives of many trades, such as our Cook, with whom we could not well dispense, and our Gardener, who had thought of supplies to later meet the demands of our craving appetites. Then there was a Mason, who well deserved the laugh for bring- ing his Tules as a matter of forced habit. A Miner passed opinion on the geological formation of the country over which we passed and speculated on its hidden treasures. Then there was a Miller and a Shoemaker; also a Thrasher, who by a sworn pledge had promised to forego the application of his trade on this occasion. We had set a King at the head of our party, attended by a Page. Yes, we comprised also a Merchant, a Shearer, and lastly an Elder, who found his duty with us quite different from that with his staid and ruly flock. A variety of dress colors reflected the sunlight of that beautiful morning. Some were in Green, others in Brown and Grey, while White predominated. One young lady provoked much laughter by wearing a Hood, while another, a Bonnet. As we strolled along the Rhode, dividing the fields, we Hurd the Call of the Rooks and Martin, wafted far over Hill and Dale. Finally, we reached the fork of the Brooks, which we had selected as a spot to prepare dinner. Dick was detailed to start a fire, but tried to Shirk his duty, until vouched assistance by a rather Stout, but Sweet and Loving girl, ir Student Surnames who though Meek was Wise enough to hold the Strayer at his post of duty. The fuel supply proved scarce, so they were compelled to gather Greenwood, which they tried to light with a match. However, one exclaimed, “What non- Sense, let me show you how.” He then gathered some Cobbs, added dry Wood, which he rustled from a Stump nearby. Then one of the boys espies some Barnes in the distance and said, “I will go to the farmer’s Lodge and purchase some Cole with these stray Nichols which I have. While a few prepared dinner, the rest enjoyed games such as Bail, Chase, Hyde and Seek, and Tennis. Soon one of the Cooks let Loose a Call for dinner. Such a dinner as we had. There was Grubb of all kinds, a Frye apiece from a Young Buck, which the Hunter had killed, dressing fla- vored with Sage, a Patty for each one. Beans, Pease, Olives, Rice, and, to drink, a glass of Sweet Water from the Wells of a kind farmer who lived near. After dinner we had a mock trial. One of the party was accused of Grafft. To the many, the outcome was a Gamble, but Justice decreed not guilty. So the time passed until evening approached. The ringing of a Bell announced the coming of the Schooner. Soon the sight of its Mast told us that it had arrived. All went on Board and we sailed over the Wat- ters. To the North was a large Stone, on which were many Seals. To the Lee was an unknown Riefe, the great- est fear of the Sailor. A violent shift of the wind caused us to strike it, and the ship sprung a Liek. A lone Fischer lived in a houseboat, which was anchored in a nearby Eddy. Hearing our cries, he came up to our help and landed us safely on short. Tired, but happy, we journeyed homeward, having enjoyed a most pleasant day. Calendar Fall Term . Aug. 30. Good-byes are said. Hearts are broken. Teachers return. Aug. 3J.
