Days curl up like smoke and are blown away by the winds of Time, but the lives of these men remain for us monuments of holiness in religion or of erudition in art and science, a proper combination of which qualities gives the key-note of progress to a scholastic insti- tution such as ours. Death for the survivors is always sad, no matter how we look upon it. though as Christians we are told. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. They do indeed now rest from their work, and it remains for us, who still bear the burden and heat of the day. to carve with reluctant hand upon Memory ' s consecrated shaft the names of Brother Polycarp, C. S. C. Brother Basil, C. S. C. and Mr. William Joseph Mahoney. who died during the current year. Brother Polycarp had been proctor of Corby Hall for over a decade and will be remembered for his cheery smile and hearty hand-cla sp, so thoroughly instinct with friendship and good-will. He was an adept at instilling the breath of harmony into the Corbyites of his time, with all of whom he had occasion to associate in the intimacy of daily life. He was a true religious, cherishing his vows and living up to them with a spirit of piety, beautiful to witness. No one, who saw Brother Polycarp going to chapel for morning meditation, on the feast of the Sacred Heart, knew that he was really passing into the presence of the unveiled Divinity. Yet it was so; the Brother had been kneeling only a few moments, when he fell from his pew to the floor, stricken with heart-failure. His fellow religious gently carried him from the church to the infirmary, but it was too late, life had ended and Brother Polycarp was gone to judgment. The world knew him as John Hanley; he was born in Stonehall, Ireland. September 9th, 1847. received the religious habit on August 15th, 1897, and became a member of the Congregation of Holy Cross on December 18th. 1902. Brother Basil also died rather suddenly, but not without preparation. All his life, indeed, had been a preparation for that awful moment, and, when in the early morning he was found dead in his bed, it was known that another voice had added its volume to the echoing chorus of glorias in the heavenly choir. A more fitting epitaph for Brother Basil we could not write than the words of President Cavanaugh at the funeral : He was a man of extraordinary modesty. When he joined the Congre- gation of Holy Cross he came with no blare of trumpets. It was not known then or afterwards, until it was accidentally discov- ered, that he was gifted with a genius for music; that this great power had been nourished by study and devotion; that in all America there were few who knew the contents of musical literature as he did, and fewer still, who could interpret them with such exquisite delicacy and feeling. From the day on which his talent was revealed until his worn and wasted body rested in death, he was the University organist and director of the department of music. During those years he developed many students, who shared in some small measure his power. Scattered over the country to-day, they will go to their graves with the memory of a holy man, who loved only what was greatest and best in music, whose life itself was a great hymn of praise to God. And great multitudes of other students, who knew him only as the college organist, will remember him forever as the gentle soul, who charmed forth from the heart of the great organ such exquisite improvisations as the angels may well have leaned down from heaven to hear. Yet in him there was not a trace of vain-glory. In him was modesty and simplicity and Christian humility. Before entering the Congregation, Brother Basil was John Magus, born in Freiberg, Bavaria, February 15th, 1828; he received the religious habit on December 12th, 1852, was professed June 24th, 1853, and died February 12th, 1909. On Saturday, February 27th, word was passed round the University that William Joseph Mahoney, an instructor on leave of absence in the South, had gone to his eternal reward. Tuberculosis ended his struggle for health after a fight of several years duration and, when the news came to us, many a smiling face was saddened and many an earnest prayer from mourning hearts went up to God for the repose of his soul. Mr. Mahoney held a secure place in the affection of all who love and labor for Notre Dame. He took an active part in promoting University activities and probably no one worked harder than did he for the development and elevation of varsity athletics. Now that he is gone, memory of him will linger long in the hearts of many of the faculty and of all the students, especially those in Carroll, for whom he worked hardest and to whom the name of William Joseph Mahoney stands for what is good. May God grant all their noble spirits rest! The Classes The Course Fancy neckties, turned up trouser, Really he ' s the fashion plate; Easy going, good rough-houser. Still he ' ll be of future weight. Having a (ine time at college — Mighty good kid, too, at heart; And he has a little knowledge — No ! With him we would not part. Somewhat given still to pleasure Of the empty-headed kind; Partly spoiled by too much leisure. Hardly much to books inclined. Oh. is he a winner? ' es! Sure Mixture of the sport and crook. Out for fun in heaped up measure. Real hard work he never took; Ever noisy, still a treasure. Jammed plumb full of erudition, Understandingly he talks. Note the dignified precision In his manner when he walks. Ostentatious of his knowledge. Raves he of his famous college. Sober, dignified, sagacious. Erudite, et cetera; Naturally he ' s perspicacious. If you doubt? Anathema! Only now he ' s filled with fear; Reason is, commencement ' s near. Class of Nineteen Hundred Nine IGNATIUS E. McNAMEE.

A.ta«, the sUitpery nature of lender youth. ' HISTORY of the Class of Nineteen Hundred Nine should adapt itself to the exigencies of time, place and previous condition of servitude. In the first place it should be original, for our year, more than any other that has ever gazed on the classic inspirations of Bishops ' Memorial Hall, has been original; then, too, it should faithfully chronicle the sacred traditions and time-worn customs, which the past sixty-seven years have been accumulating, for we have made a Samsonian attempt to carry them out religiously; lastly, it should be essentially of Notre Dame as the Class has always been. But it won ' t. We have been allotted neither sufficient space nor the modicum of ingenuity, necessary to fulfil the demands of such cosmopolitan qualifications, hence we say, what we say, unblushingly and without apology. Much of our prowess is recorded with fluctuating veracity in former issues of the Dome; much more of it will never be com- mitted to print — for which heaven be praised. Most of our deeds are forgotten, but those of them that still cling to memory, will live long in the hearts of the men who come after us, because we have worked hard, as we shall always work, for the greater glory of the U. We came here four years ago unknown and unknowing; there was a goodly crowd of us, sturdy high school grads. for the most part, whose chief asset was a deal of self-complacency and whose topmost ambition was to join the varsity and earn a monogram. Some of us have realized that height, most of us have not. But it was ever thus, and the world goes on just the same. We stood about in somber crowds that first registration day, lonely lads, invidious of the cocksure manner and the easy laughing greeting of the old boys who came straggling in through the day, and just a bit nettled — though we were not yet a day old on the place — at the confident air of the Preps., as they trooped along the corridors of Main, swinging their suitcases, hailing each other lustily and not so much as casting a glance of even spiritless curiosity upon us, who then already felt ourselves to be their su- periors 111 age, intelligence and wisdom, for we had high school dips. Father Regan went gliding about from group to group with a smile or a kind word here and a judicious pat there, for us strangers in a strange land, whom he pitied as only a great-hearted man like Father Regan could pity. On the other hand ue looked fearfully and much askance upon so mighty a man as we were told he was. The Prefect of Discipline! What wonderful thoughts that conjured up, and how we envied his position. Who wouldn ' t? for he seemed to have nothing to do from one day to the next but to jolly visitors, to go buggy riding on Thursdays and Sundays and to tell people what they could and what they couldn ' t, what they must and what they must not do. Next we met Father Maloney, got a bit of advice, a string of classes and a brisk Please hustle, boys; this is no loafing place, for a parting shot. B. Paul entertained us in the students ' office with his customary cordial line of talk. Have a chair. Take a cigar. How are all the folk? Now whenever you want to draw spending money, my boy, don ' t hesitate to come to me for it and, if I m not here, just help yourself. We want to make you feel perfectly at home. ' ou know how he used to say it, fellows. Remember that kind, solicitous manner he had? and how disappointed he would be when you wanted to draw only three dollars instead of five? Happy days! Then we scattered, some to St. Joe and Corby, most to Brownson and young Fox back to Carroll, where he renewed his drag with the prefects. It was really a pretty slow year for us, when one considers everything. No one was clever enough to make the varsity debates or oratoricals and we put only one fellow into a monogram. TTiat was Dug Bonham and it happened just before the faculty rule put the lid on Freshman varsity material, you will remember. A few of us got into the musical clubs before the holidays, but the rest sat, twiddling our thumbs, and plugging analytics or cramming Vergil on rainy days for devilment. Bids to the Senior ball in April brought with them recognition that we were at last a social entity in the U., the recognition after which we had been striving unavailingly for nearly two semesters, and when Spring term was finally over, we went home, happy in the know- ledge that better things awaited us next Autumn, that we were plebes no longer, but could hold up our heads with the proudest of the hoi polloi. Sophomore year gave us increase in grace and wisdom and also in numbers. Nobody was weeded out at Freshman finals and five new men, Collentine, Kennedy, Ledwige, McNamee and Schmid, were added to the arts department. Unfortunately Kelly had to leave us at Christmas because of ill health; he is, however, the only member we have lost during the entire course. When baseball season began we gave Bonham to the varsity team and we also gave McNamee to the Scholastic. Many of us tried for the debates, but there seemed to be still better material in the tryouts than we had to offer and nobody of our crowd passed the finals. Dramatics, however, were our strong recommendation. Who can ever forget Fox ' s acting? And he went into — we use the words advisedly — he went into nearly everything that was put on the boards in Washington Hall. The rest of us had to be satisfied with juveniles or spear-toting jobs in the army, but Fox was born an actor and his fame has since spread abroad. Malvolio, all hail ! But it was the Junior year that brought us out. We organized very early in the Autumn and under a capable class admin- istration decided to assert ourselves by breaking into the social calendar with a Junior function, something which had never been tried before. So we put on a Junior Prom., which was a joy to the year and one of the best dances Notre Dame has ever had. But the Prom, is not the only tiling we established. The way our year men hung together and entered bodily into every scheme the class undertook set an example for the other years and awoke in them that spirit of individuality, which had lain dormant among us for so long a time. Since then, class consciousness, if we may apply the term to a peculiar use, has begun to assert itself both in the college and in the professional schools of the U., and for this unification of the men into classes we claim whatever credit IS due. Not only did we obtain results as a body, but we made ourselves more strongly felt as individuals than any Junior class before us. Kanaley and Collentine were given places on the varsity debates, six of our men won berths on the Scholastic and Bon- ham and Mertes carried our colors onto the athletic field, the one in baseball, the other in football. This, our Senior year, is our year de luxe. We have maintained the pace we set as Juniors and have added to our laurels. Kanaley, Collentine and McMahon, a new member of the class, who dropped in on us last September, were three of the four debaters, who defeated Georgetown University on April twenty-first; McNamee won the local oratoricals and then carried the State contest by a wide majority, this being the second time a Notre Dame man has carried the State in oratory. We have a working majority on the Scholastic board and are fairly well represented in athletics. With all our acquired greatness we have not yet completed the year and the chance still remains to add an olive branch or two to the class bouquet before Commencement time. Owing to the peremptory demand for room, when class enrollment expanded so rapidly in the early Autumn, we. Seniors, were invited to leave Sorin and to take up our abode under more care-free circumstances in other localities. It was like the exodus from Egypt, for every Noughty-Nine man (with one or two exceptions) departed bag and baggage from the classic atmosphere and Senior traditions of Sorin, where they had lodged together for two years, and established his chattels among strange peoples and in new environment. We were as thoroughly dispersed as were the Jews after Titus got through with them. Some of us went to the city to live; others to the rookeries and crannies of Main, away up among the rusty muskets and dust-laden vestments of the archives; and eighteen, the largest contingent of all, erected a common hearth by the Lakeside, in the disused building where the University was first established. Electric lights, modern plumbing and a new heating plant had been put in before we came and here, lulled to sleep by the moaning Winter winds or enchanted as we lounged under the pale Autumn moon, we have spent the happiest year of our course. That it is now drawing to an end we regret — every class does so in a measure, but the realization that the cam- eraderie of Old College must soon be given up brings extra sadness to the men who have enjoyed its rareness. It IS our proud boast that throughout the course our relations with the faculty have been the kindliest and most congenial. We appreciate the interest they have taken in our work, both in the classroom and out of it, and we realize there will be a pang when we must lose the intimate association with them which daily life affords. Loyalty to the administration had always been our watch- word and that love for Alma Mater and those, who govern her progress, which four years of democratic fellowship has enkindled and fostered, must not and will not die in the hearts of Noughty-Nine.

The riddle ' s here; what is distinctly Mac ' s Is just the very thing that Hollearn lacks. Two Junior heavyweights of local fame. Who run and laugh and study just the same. Are Cooke and Henning. They are athletes too: Their points of difference in this branch are few. Two other heroes of athletic fame. Who help sustain the rep. of Notre Dame, Are Roth and Dolan.

We Juniors have a bunch of architects In whom ' twere hard indeed to find defects. Pat Walsh is one; he ' s always full of fun And ne ' er so pleased as when he ' s made a pun. Pat hails from Delphi, and t must be confessed He by Apollo has been greatly blessed With all the graces of a worldly youth. Big Chester Freeze, our class ' s pride, forsooth. Adorns the basketball and football teams.

Ji ANTON R. HEBENSTREir Treasurer WILLIAM J. HEYL Vice-President ELMO A. FUNK President THOMAS C. HUGHES Secretary Sophomore History HE most difflcuit of all tasks confronts the writer, who seeks to pubhsh at this time the glories of the Class of ' II, for they are now passing through that period of their college career which the makers of dictionaries describe as the age when the immature and over-confident student, complacently ignorant, bears an exaggerated opinion of his own wisdom. Yet these difficulties are not without their limitations, for, although we are Sophomores, and perhaps sophomoric, we are not of the variety whose inflated ideas bear witness to their owners ' conceit. Instead, we are simply the men of a year ago without the verdancy of our Freshman days but with that development which an added year of wisely-guided effort alone can bring. Our deeds as yet have neither been astonishing or unusual, and we are content that it should be so, for it is but the foundation we have built, and a realization of the hopes we cherish for the magnificent su- perstruclurc of Junior accomplishment and Senior dignity, which is to follow, can only be attained by thorough and consistent attention to every detail of the groundwork that is to support us in our loftier heights. Elmo Funk, the mysterious President of certain nocturnal conclaves where the mathematicians of St. Joe Hall sit in and pool their common interests, is also President of the Sophomore Class. He was born, bred, and still lives in Indiana, and what s more, he ' s bright. No v that in itself is no startling discovery, if we recall that it is the Sophomore Class we are discussing. Yet, when we remember that most bright men come from Indiana and that the brighter they are the quicker they come, it is somewhat surprising to find that Funk has hung around so long. Still he has a peculiar habit of hangin ' round , so at least they say in the resi- dence district of South Bend. He doesn ' t come home often until after the last owl car and then he ' s so considerate that he won ' t let the carriage bring him all the way up to his hall. It might tire the horses, you know, so long a drive might. TTiere is a story making the rounds, which illustrates this humanitarianism of Funk ' s pretty well. Very late one stormy night in February, so it runs, as he was rumb- ling along the Niles road, the thought struck him that it would be cruel to make the horses carry his weight added to that of the hack up the long incline to St. Joe. so when he reached the place where the road leads into the lakeshore drive along by Old College, he quietly opened the carriage door and jumped out into the darkness. The vehicle was lightened of much of its load and the horses trotted on through rain and mud, utterly oblivious and ungrateful for the kind act Cockey had done them. But the President is not only a humanitarian, he is also a successful engineer and manager of St. Joe Hall athletics, and hopes some day to develop a cross-country winner in Shorty Scholl. We fear, however, that the day is far distant; it will never come until some scientist has devised a method to rid Scholl of his spring fever, a chronic trouble with which, it is said, he was afflicted in early boyhood. Second in official importance in the Class of ' 1 1 is our Vice-President, William Heyl, who, although he is from Pittsburg, did not come away to evade a subpoena and is at liberty to return whenever he pleases. Heyl is something of a historian, but in this line he does most of his work by proxy; not from any lack of energy or persistence on his part, for he has been known to stick to one subject through a whole program of Glad Smiles and Whose Little Girl are You, but more probably because the aimless and discordant melodies that ring through the corridors of Corby are less inspiring than the music of Mattes ' orchestra. Heyl is an all-around athlete, a student and a gentleman; he has never been lacking in varsity pep , although he sometimes waxes impatient when the lid is on too long at a time and once went even so far as to change his habitat from the stately halls of Sorin to the more salubrious climate of Fair Corby that he might have more abundant freedom. Anton Hebenstreit was drafted all the way from Shullsburg, Wisconsin to be made class treasurer. The presumption holds that he has taken good care of the funds during his incumbency, though whether he has or not is a matter of conjecture. Anyhow, nobody else reports having been troubled with them. But money is not Anton ' s greatest worry. Bless us, no! It is rather the spectral premonition that some future day will discover to the world the eminent team work of St. Joe ' s owl-like mathematicians. Frown not, gentle reader, upon this organization, for it has much to recommend it. It heightens fraternal spirit in the Hall and more- over serves to disturb the monotonous continuity of Calculus vaudeville, to say nothing of its effect on sundry bulletin grades. Our first Secretary, Stewart Graham, became enamored of an ambition to be a railroad builder, and soon after Christ- mas left us to add his ingenuity toward spreading the Michigan Central system. The limits of Old College were too confining for him, so he went away to brighten a broader field. It was expected somehow that Graham would turn out to be a philanthropist and the recent report to the effect that he is now at work preparing a monograph on The necessity of spacial existence at the intersection of an infinite number of lines seems to bear out our hopes for him. Once rid of Graham we were at liberty to choose a worthy successor, whom we found in the person of Tom Hughes, the Apollo of ' II, whose dignity alone is a sufficient recommendation for the secretarial portfolio. Tom Havican and Reps are the men on whom we base our dramatic hopes. We are banking strong on Havican for was it not he whose buffoonery as the Drunken Porter in Macbeth proved to be the alleviating feature of the play? and is he not still pointed out with pride as the hit of the show, the only man who was satisfied with the A ' eU ' s ' version of that memorable matinee? Despite newspaper criticisms, Reps, too, is a man of elocutionary ability, although his mild appearance holds out no clew to the fact. Strong in ease of expression, thoroughly grounded in the Natural System of elocution, and too serious to be considered other than as a joke, he compels us to believe that he will hit the solar plexus of burlesque when he arrives at maturity. Luke Kelly and Laz Fish are two of our most clever athletes, who like many other aspirants for fame have achieved noto- riety in other lines as well. Luke, for instance, might have gained a reputation for living six months in Corby Hall without having been seen by a professor had not a woeful misfortune befallen him. The tale relates how one day, while he was in quest of new diversion, he chanced upon a bunch of fellows crowded about a rapidly revolving, figure-covered wheel, and forgetting that he was at Notre Dame, he went in to stake two-bils on the green. But he got in wrong and straightway found himself in the grasp of the professorial manipulator, who was demonstrating with the Holz apparatus before his Physics class. It was Luke ' s first appear- ance in a lecture room. Wilson and Washburn are said to be the students of the class, and if we judge from the sedulous atmosphere which always pervades their presence, it must be true. Their efficiency is not limited to purely scholastic stunts, however, for they hold the record of having achieved demerits by the hundred long before the average Sorinite had discovered that St. Mary ' s crossing and the Three-I tracks are out of bounds. Paul K. Barsaloux, our handball expert, and intimate friend and room-mate of James Kenefick of Michigan City ' is ready to meet all comers. He has even the nerve to challenge Jimmy Cooke — but we are not sure that James and Hug and a few more are Sophomores just yet, so we must inhibit whatever desire we had of inflicting eulogies on such important assets of Alma Mater. These are but a few of our members. The Class of ' I 1 boasts of many more equally deserving texts for the barren verbiage of the annalist. Wenninger, the orator and debater, — Kuhle, Keeffe, — what memories these names awake, but our space is gone. VihLIA: I A. FISH Secretary WAI rKR J. DTXCAN President WIIJ.IA.M . l iiiixAIII Vioe-Prfsuk ' Ut UA-i Ml jMi !■: SKKI,LY, Treasurer Freshman History IX MONTHS and eighteen days ago there came forth upon the campus a new class, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that, although most men may be ere ied equal, we Freshmen have it on the rest of humanity in many respects. We are now engaged in a great r.iass struggle, testing whether the Sophomores or any class, so conceived as they and so deteriorated, can long endure. We met them on the common battle-field of class war, we taunted them by floating our flag from Woruen Tower and maintaining it there through two days ' vigil. We wish now to dedicate a portion of Cartier Field as a final resting place for those rinky classmen whose spirit was broken that we Freshmen might live. There is a great task remaining before us — that from the poor wrecks of the van- quished Sophomores, who slunk away with their own banner in the darkness of night (For shame. Cocky Funk!) we take increased devotion to the cause for which they showed themselves capable of doing such little service; that we here resolve their servile regard for us shall not have been in vain; that this class under heaven shall maintain a University of the Freshmen, b the Freshmen and for the Freshmen. Gentlemen, we have begun our career. About the first thing a class must do on entering college is to elect officers. They are of little practical value perhaps, but then they look well in the front row at funerals and then, too, at Easter time it sounds so swell, you know, while Claribel and you go ambling together round the grass plots on the Quad, to shout boldly Hey George! and, when he comes up, hat in hand, to intro- duce him as the President of our Class . How important you must be , she will say to you, after he is gone, to be able to address the highest officer of your class by his first name! And she will shower admiration upon you more lavishly than she ever expected she could, because of your nonchalant association with greatness. For that reason early in the Autumn we elected officers. Walter Duncan got the purple-bordered toga and the office fits him like one of Kreuzberger ' s best. Calmness and sagacity wrap him in dignity and the only thing to be held against him is that he is a student. Now it may not be altogether Walter ' s fault; in so far as it is, however, we are ashamed. Tradition has made it a Freshman ' s prerogative to rail at the Director of Studies, when he conditions him, and at the Prefect of Discipline, when he meets him at night on the Avenue, and to offer copious suggestions as to ho v the administration ought to handle things. Nor is it more than equitable that this should be so, since from the day of regis- tration we are an integral part of the University. But Walter has always been diffident about certain matters, particularly about inter- fering in faculty affairs, and for that we must censure him. Now Kokomo Bill Donahue, the Vice-President, is of another stripe altogether. He takes to fancy things in haberdashery and, when Summer comes round and the roads dry out and walking is no longer a public menace, he parades up and down Main Street of his home town to give the girls an ocular treat. Here comes Candy Donahue, the word is passed along, and the girls all run to the parlor window to see him go by. Donahue is artist ' s model for the Kokomo stamp-picture man and spends his busy hours at home trimming down prints of himself to fit ladies ' watch cases. Root-for-your-hall, Fellows! McGarry was our official scribe but is no more. They say he has a facile pen, but that is the only easy thing about him; for Billy is a sharper (put the Boston pedal on those rs, please) from start to finish. His protracted vocabulary and voluminous versatility gave him some polish and even beyond that he is not wholly a four-flusher. Much of what the class has done can be laid to Root-for-your hall s credit and it is even said of him that he stood sponser for green to be one of the class colors in opposition to — (well, we won ' t mention his name), who, supported by the Dutch, wanted orange. Heroism such as this has endeared Gentleman Bill to class-fellows and local Hibernians alike. For all of which we praise him. They say Skelly has doelike eyes. Perhaps that is why the fellows elected him dough custodian. (Not such a bad pun for a Freshman, is it?) The fact in itself — barring its mirthfulness — that we elected him treasurer makes further comment on at least one score almost unnecessary. But Skelly has other recommendations, chief of which is his soulful attractiveness. Shake- speare must have had him in mind when he wrote: He is a man, take him all in all, I shall not look upon his like again, for Ray has Adonis headed for the basement by the kitchen stairway when it comes to classic outline and clever color scheme in make- up. If a thing of beauty is a joy forever then Skelly is surely it. Now we come to the unofficial members. It is not our purpose to enumerate all, or even a goodly part of them, for we have to concede a little .space in this book to faculty pictures and varsity athletics, but there are a few, whom either Fortune, Fame or a powerful crush with the historian has brought out more strongly than the rest. Them we immortalize. Of course you have heard about Mule Madden, who at the very outset of his career in Prep, became a college cut-up. Had he lived in the days of chivalry he would have been knighted on at least a dozen counts, for his youthful exploits according to his own enumeration would put Hair- breadth Harry to the blush. But Mule studies sometimes, that is, when there is nothing of importance on hand; just at present, however, he is very busy with the interesting activities of life. He has to make his nightly sorties down the Avenue, for one thing, though be it said for him that he only goes as far as Prof. Peterson ' s arc light. The fussers meet him half way. Which is saying something complimentary for both him and them — but that ' s another tale. Ne. t in the line of celebrities come Ikey Lange and Howard McAleenan, the painter and the actor. Ikey is the class artist and his work with pen and brush this year have heightened our glory. He is also an enthusiastic lover of Latin poetry and commits Vergil and Horace to memory just to be uniqu e. McAleenan is a bit different. His devilish recklessness has brought him through harrowing experiences in evading unsympathetic prefects, while he rambles clandestinely, on Monroe Street and Portage Avenue. His measure of histrionic talent and his recent exhibitions before the footlights indicate that a stage career would hold for Howard at least a modicum of glory, as it were. He has already booked for an engagement with a stock company for next Summer. Space forbids me to dilate upon Kramer, the thespian wonder, who made the President ' s Day play in his Freshman year (a most marvelous stunt) ; upon Tom Havican, the pessimistic misogynist; upon Bubbles Guthrie, the man of weight, and Murphy and Jap Lawton and Carmo Del Dixon, the pride of the Architects. But we have them in every shape, size and different line of ability and each in his way contributes something to make us great. I have not mentioned athletics for we are barred from all varsity contests, but the showing we made in February ' s Freshman- Varsity track-meet when we beat them 49-45, as well as our victory over Culver Military Academy by a score of 71 J 2-491 2, gives eloquence to our claims of greatness. Had we met them in baseball, basketball or football, the result would have been just the same. We often wonder how this University ever got along before we came and what it will do after we leave three years from now. That they will miss us there is no doubt, for our talent and spirit are destined to make us greater and greater as the years go by. So keep your eyes on the Freshmen, gentlemen, it ' s a tip. Senior Law Class HE morning class bell sends forth its lusty call to care and tribulation and we see the future lawyers coming towards Sorin Hall. They are not hurrying with the feverish haste of the Corby Haller rushing to morning prayer for they have already learned to assume the solemn dignity of the law. Arvey is holding his accustomed place, reading the Green Bay Gazette to see whether the owner has claimed the bull-dog which Brother Jack found. Dillon, seated next Arvey, has his arms folded and his chin resting upon his chest. Quinn and McKee approach from the Main Building. McKee is muncJiing a stick of licorice root, left over from the last base- ball game; Quinn is decorated with his familiar blue goggles. Lamb has just ridden up on his fellow-boarder ' s bicycle and McKee cynically comments: Criminee! Get the hook! If you ' d cut the donies and pursue the law more attentively and the Stock Company less, you might some day be able to write a contract, Rex. Kasper is walking up from the Post Office with various metropolitan dailies protruding from his pockets. Kasper has spent the greater part of his life at Notre Dame, — in fact he has lived here since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. As Deiner nears the Law Room he removes a huge dark wad from his mouth and places the same in a receptacle at the foot of the stairs. Neble, coming down from the upper floor, is greatly surprised at the operation and asks Carville what he thinks of it. Carville says it is either Peerless or Red Band , he isn ' t sure which. Wood is seated on a window sill reading a blue-tinted, violet-scented note, which he has extracted from his inside coat pocket. And through it all the Colonel beams down from his picture on the wall behind the judicial bench. During this time the 10:15 car gets in and Judge Howard reaches the Hall. At his side, apparently ab- sorbed in a very interesting conversation with the Judge, walks Schindler. (We have often wondered how Schindler gets his marks but we can see through it now.) Tf;e Judge takes his seat and class is about to commence when the door opens and in comes Walker. He gazes about for a moment, ev.-dently surprised that he is so early, and meekly takes his seat. Gentlemen, the Judge begins, I have decided to ask you a few general questions, in the nature of a review, which will also serve as a preparation for your final exam. We will dispense with the regular work, today. Judge Howard. — Mr. Arvey, I will begin with you because your name heads my alphabetical list. (Some men are fortunate in choosing their names. It is sometimes the reason for their being placed at the head of things.) Mr. Arvey, can the State Prosecutor appear as attorney for the complainant in a suit for divorce? Arvey. — He can in Wisconsin. Judge Howard. — But in this State there is a statute pro- hibiting the Prosecutor from appearing as such complainant s attorney. Arvey. — What is the use of being Prosecuting Attorney if you can ' t secure relief from a cruel and brutal husband for an abused but beautiful wife once ni a while. I think I will practice in Wisconsin. Judge Howard. — Mr. Carville, are the States allowed to interfere with, or pass laws in conflict with, the treaties of the United States? Carville — No, sir; nowhere except in Nevada. Judge Hovv ' ard. — Mr. Dillon, let us suppose that you have a friend who unfortunately became involved in some trouble, the nature of which is unimportant, and that a warrant for his arrest had been issued and placed in the hands of the sheriff. He succeeded in evading the officer, however, and comes to Notre Dame to counsel with you. What would you advise him to do? Dillon. — I would advise him to secure a position command- ing a good view of the Avenue, and to keep himself in readiness for a quick get-away. Judge Howard. — Mr. Deiner, if you ever become a law- yer, would you defend a man charged with murder, provided you knew him to be guilty? Deiner. — No. My sensitive conscience would not permit me to defend a criminal whom I knew to be guilty. TTie fee I could obtain would not appeal to me in the least. Why, if I wasn ' t particular how I made money, I would go into politics on the Socialist ticket. Judge Howard. — Is Mr. Kasper here? — Ah! there you are. I was not quite sure whether it was your turn to be absent from class to-day or Mr. Wood ' s, but I am glad to see that you are here. Wood. — I ' m here, too. Judge. Judge Howard. — Indeed! strange things do happen even in our day. Mr. Kasper, take the same question I asked Mr. Deiner. What would you do in like circumstances? Kasper. — I can ' t see how I would be sure that any man is guilty, if he offered me a large fee. Judge Howard. — Mr. Kasper, we finished the topic of ' The Bill ' in Equity Pleading yesterday. Do you think you understand the subject. Kasper. — Yes, Judge, I think I would be able to deliver a series of lectures on ' The Bill. ' (The class is at a loss to understand why the Judge should ask Kasper this (|uestion, but Wood suggests that if Kasper understands the subject it raises the presumption that the whole class understands it.) Judge Howard. — Mr. Lamb, can you tell me when the Statute of Frauds was passed, and what its provisions are? ' Lamb. — I ' m not quite sure. Judge. Judge Howard — But I think you know, Mr. Lamb. I believe you lack confidence in yourself. Self-confidence is a valuable asset to a lawyer. Mr. Neble, can you give us the Statute of Frauds? Neble, (Assuming an air of condescension and replying in a tone which conveys the firm conviction that some day people will pay real money for his opinion) — Judge, you will find the Statute of Frauds right there in the book, on one of the first pages. Judge Howard, (Ignoring Neble ' s retort) — Mr. McKee, I see the baseball team defeated Michigan yesterday. McKee — Oh! yes. Judge, we beat them badly. Eleven to two. Judge Howard, (Sadly) — Michigan is my old school. McKee, (Afraid he g-ot in wrong) — Under the circum- stances I am sorry, but I have a motto Duty before pleasure. Judge, unless the pleasure is a donie dance. Judge Howard. — Mr. Qumn. do you thmk it proper for a lawyer to assist in obtaining a divorce? Quinn. — Why, Judge, I live in South Dakota. Judge Howard. — Excuse me, Mr. Quinn, I had forgotten that. Mr. Ritter, what is the first and greatest duty of a lawyer? Ritter. — Thou shalt support thy wife and children, for there is a statute in the State of Indiana with an unpleasant penalty attached for the one who fails to provide for the comfort and pleasure of the woman whose millinery bills he has contracted to pay, or for him who fails to properly care for the little ones with which he has been blessed. The second duty is like unto the first, thou shalt provide a home and shelter for as many of thy fellow lawyers and law students as possible. Judge Howard. — Mr. Schindler, suppose a person should die after making a will, by the terms of which he leaves a legacy of $50,000.00 to one, a perfect stranger to him. Prima facie, what would you say of such a case? Schindler. — I would say that the fellow was not of sound mind, memory and understanding and incapable of making a valid will. Judge Howard. — Now suppose that this stranger desig- nated as beneficiary is yourself. Would that change matters? Schindler. — Well, Judge, under the circumstances, I would take the matter under advisement. There are things a man can ' t answer off-hand, you know. Judge Howard. — Mr. Walker, what are the rights and duties of the Federal Government to depositors in national banks? Walker. — That depends whether I am debating against Georgetown University or against the Detroit Law School. There are two sides to the question. Judge Howard. — But suppose the question were raised, not in a debate, but in a law suit. Which side would you support? Walker. — The side which my client is on. Judge Howard.— Mr. Wood — Wood, (Interrupting) — ' ' ou asked me a questsion yes- terday. Judge. Judge Howard. — I am sorry, Mr. Wood, but having asked a question of every other member of the class, it would be unfair to you not to give you an opportunity to recite. Wood, (His face brightens as he hears the class bell, and undaunted by the failure of one excuse, tries again) — Judge, the class bell just rang. Judge Howard. — Very well, Mr. Wood, as it would be unfair to the class to keep them after the time for adjournment, if you will waive your right to answer, we will adjourn. Wood. — In consideration of the class, I will waive my right to answer. Judge. The class adjourns and the students pass out of the Law Room as they will soon pass out of the University and into the fields of their future endeavors. And as they pass the writer can not refrain from hazarding a guess at what the future has in store for the Lawyers of 09. It is unnecessary to record that guess here and it would perhaps be much safer not to do so. But, whether his expectations for their success will prove true or not, it is safe to say that the Class of ' 09 will play the game of life hard and fair, and that they will add honor to their Alma Mater, for they are a lot of jolly fellows and true men, all to the good and two to carry. EDWIN J. LYNCH PRESIDENT DARNAY A. KELLY VICE-PRESIDENT HARRY F. McDONAGH SECRETARY MALACHI D.CLARK TREASURER STATE OF INDIANA. ST. JOSEPH COUNTY. The Junior Law Class, by John Doe, Historian. ss. In The Dome. 1 909. The World. To THE Right Honorable, the Editors of The Dome and Its Uncounted Readers for the Year Nineteen Hundred Nine: The Junior Law Class of the University of Notre Dame, by John Doe, its Historian, brings this bill, against the world in general: And thereupon your orator complains and says: ' Just give us a chance and we will make good. ' And your orator further says that we have made good, as a class, in all that makes for useful and thorough students, combining the athletic with the scholastic, the social with the contemplative, in a happy medium, runnmg neither to the one extreme of ultra-keenness m athletics and undue levity in good fellowship, nor to the other extreme in the ostentation of learning. 1 o the end, therefore, that the said defendants may, if they can, show why your orator should not have the relief hereby prayed, and may, upon their several and respective corporal oaths, and according to the best and utmost of their several and respective knowledge, remembrance, information, and belief, full, true, direct, and perfect answer make to the several interrogations here- inafter numbered and set forth; that is to say: ( I ) Whether it is not a fact that we boast of three monogram men in the persons of our President, Edwin Joseph Lynch, who earned his N. D. on the football field; John Francis Duffy, who worked his way into his in the Indiana game last fall and is with avidity chasing one around the track with Coach Mans ' men; and Harry Francis McDonagh, our Secretary, who literally jumped into his at the Invitation Meet last spring. (2) Whether it is not a fact that of the men who were not suited with the varsity teams and decided to lend their aid to the furthering of inter-hall athletics we have John Arthur Lenertz, for two years Captain of the Brownson football and baseball teams, Darnay Anthony Kelly, our peppery little Vice-President, who played an efficient end on the Brownson football team, and James Francis Kennedy, who served in the same position on Corby and made a good bid for a berth on the varsity until hindered by a bad ankle; whether William Ambrose Duffy did not also appear in a football suit for the Corby team picture, — but no one ever accused Bill of having enough pep to over-exert himself on the field. (3) Whether it is not a fact that we find Paul Joseph Donovan, Charles William Murphy and George Washington Sands, constituting the Brownson Hall Freshman debating team last year, and James Edward Deery, making good on Corby ' s freshman team, while Deery and Donovan are to be seen, winning places on the Law Debating team of 1909. (4) Whether it is not a fact that there is no need for a special register of our sister city. South Bend, as long as we have such men in the class as James Paul Kenefick, who also has a penchant for grafting the management of athletics in whatever Hall he may be residing, and running said teams on an absolutely autocratic basis; James Lee Cahill, the pride of Peru (111.), who was selected to assume the responsibilities of Sergeant-at-arms of the class; and Malachi Daniel Clark, a man who, because of his honest and upright bearing, was enlrustsed with the finances of the class, to whose credit be it said that the accounts of the class were better kept under him than they were under any other administration. Therefore, to whomsoever of Your Honors has granted to your orator the courtesy to read thus far, we appeal in common sense and good judgment to pass on the merits of the class, and we promise to abide the order and decree of the court. JAMES HOPE. Seciftan LEO BUCKLEY. Vice-President FRANK A. SCANLON. President WILLIAM KYAN. Treasurer History of the Freshman Law Class HE Law Class of 1911 is in size the largest and in wisdom the most profound of any crowd that ever hauled down a book from the dusty shelves of the Law Library, and from the day it first trooped into Judge Howard ' s de- partment and got its premier glimpse at the inspiring picture of the Colonel behind the judicial bench, class spirit and progressiveness have been its fundamental characteristics. In every field of activity its members are growing, hour by hour, more prominent. One of the most conservative professors in the course, a man who rarely commits himself, gives this recommedation — It is a class eager for learning, a class endowed with an unusual amount of reasoning ability, a class the most promising that ever began the study of law at Notre Dame. And another, equally truthful, says — The class of 19H is the finest lot of young fellows we ever had. They are, I might go so far as to say, most avaricious of the brimming cup of legal nectar. (Guess who it was, fellows!) Freshman Law is not only a jealous mistress but she is also a prolific mother of athletes. She seems to train their bodies as she sharpens their minds, for invariably her stalwart sons are the stars of the University. On the baseball team we are repre- sented by Dreams Scanlan, Ulaitowski, Will Ryan, Red Kelly and Tom Bothwick; in football by Dimmick, Sullivan and Collins; in track by Dimmick and Steers; and in basket-ball by Molony. So much for the athletic side of the Class. In debating we have shown marked interest. Grover McCarthy and Ely qualified for the finals in the Law debate, McCarthy also qualifying for the semi-finals in the Varsity debate; on the Sorm Hall Freshman team Joe Murphy and McCarthy have places, and the names of Buckley and Mullen appear with Old College. Frank Scanlon, more generally known as Dreamy although the latter name is a misnomer and entirely deceiving, is President of the class. It is hinted by some that his drag with the Profs, is the reason for his high marks, and, coming from one who knows, let it be said that this is literally true. He is an indigent student and a four-flusher right, but withal the idol of the University. Leo Buckley, who, it is hinted, has a way of winning the trusting affection of the light-hearted and unsuspecting, is Vice- President. He IS a grafter of the first water, hands out a line of talk that makes one believe he is learned, and holds high political aspirations. It is said they have him in training for Tammany, but heaven pity Tammany, if he ever gets there. They ' ll have harder work to shelve him than they ever had to send Dave Croker to Europe. Judge Hope, as the Secretary, carries the heavy role in the list of officers. In a class of this character the proceedings are necessarily long and complicated. They are likewise very important, and a capable, efficient man is needed to record them in the interest of future generations — for we are making history, gentlemen. William Ryan, elected Treasurer at the first of the year, is at the time of this writing, still acting in that capacity. Indif- ference on the part of the class, or it may be a feeling of humanitarianism, has delayed them in bringing dismissal proceedings against him. The flashy neck-tie and open-work hosiery he has been sporting of late look danged suspicious and it would not be uninter- esting, methinks to have the books audited. Joe Murphy is the all-around man of the class. A brilliant talker, possessor of a beautiful bass voice, a striking personality and pleasing, four-flushing manners, he is everywhere a favorite. Although carrying five studies in other courses of iche University, Jimmie O Flynn is glad to class himself a Freshman Lawyer and is indeed a most representative man. Seldom does he allow a chance to slip by to defend the class against the unwarranted treatment of Professor Farabaugh. You are the noble boy, Jimmie! Another austere brother lawyer is Joe Collins, the whirlwind Irishman, who some day will undoubtedly makf ' good as end man with Peterson ' s Greatest Show on Earth. Our space limit is exhausted and we must reluctantly conclude our chronicle. We have merely tried to give some glinting idea of our greatness and of the men who are responsible for it. We have placed our facts calmly and dispassionately, as befits men of legal intensity and now we are done. Considering all in all, when the final word has been said, the Law Class of 1911 is the joUiest, most intelligent and influential body the Law School has ever known. -. l.ALiJL A.

OME IN! — And Sorg, hastily gathering his bathrobe around his bare shoulders, turned to see who might be the intruder. Why hello. Doc. McCarty! How did you happen to be out here at this time o ' night? Oh, I just came out to get my marks, ' returned the visitor, and dropped in to tell you how they ' re rub- bing it into me . Why, what ' s the matter? Haven ' t they been treating you square? I ' m well satisfied with my grades. Got the highest mark in chemistry this exam, that Father Maguire ever gave. Huh! cour.se you would. You ' re not a day-dodger and then, besides, you ' re a Philopatrian. Maybe, if I ' d played Mac- beth. I ' d have got good marks, loo! But there ' s always against us day-dodgers here. Look at what they done to Kamm. Didn ' t you hear about it? Yesterday afternoon he went over to Leopold ' s for a set-up and, just ' cause he vvouldn t come across with a nickel for the glass and then got sassy when a tin cup was handed out, Leopold reported him and he got canned this morning. Don ' t know what he ' s going to do now. That girl sure wouldn ' t marry him after his dip ' s sidetracked. He isn ' t the only one, cither. There ' s San Pedro, look at him — a fellow who spends all of his time pluggmg m the lab., when the rest of you candy kids are dow-n town fussing, and he ' s going back to Cuba empty-handed. Why, ' Macbeth ' , I wouldn ' t come back to this blooming place on a bet. What happened to Ayers? He ' s another of our day students that didn ' t make good. Wliy what ' s the matter with you to-night. Doc? You must have run up against Harrington again and he ' s probably made you sore on the whole bunch of us. I ' m sure I think the men at the head of this institution are square enough. Take the case of Scanlan. He was away a whole lot with the basketball team and he ' s showing up in his work, ain ' t he? es, he ' s making good, Claude, but that ' s because he ' s an athlete. You wouldn ' t have had a basket-ball team here at Notre Dame at all, if it hadn ' t been for ' Dyke ' . Well, there ' s Jimmy Maloney. Isn ' t he always first in his class? There you go again. Sure he is always first in his class, but I notice that he is wearing an N. D. too. ' ou can t tell me that those fellows go out and work their heads off for nothing. Why, the only man in the class that should have flunked is Ahern. He ' s down town with that girl of his every time he gets a chance and he didn ' t expect to get through, himself. I just met him on his way to Spnngbrook to-night. He ' s good, that boy is. Just a minute, now. not so loud. Father Farley ' ll be down this way soon, and if he hears you making all this racket, you won ' t get a cJiance to tell anyone what you deserve or what you don ' t. ou think because you can buffalo some of the Indians in Northern Michigan or Canada, or wherever you ' re from, that you can come down here and tell us where to get off at. I didn t have to play Macbeth in order to get a degree and I don ' t want you to think so, either. Who said you had to play anything to get a degree? It looks strange to me, though, to see all you fellows getting the high marks and doing less work than the fellows that flunk. Do you mean to say that I haven ' t earned mine? I ' ll admit I failed to satisfy my ambitions in dramatics and you can throw that up to me just as often as you please, but, if you make any more insinuating remarks like the one you just dropped, it won ' t be necessary for Father Farley or anybody else to come around here and c|uiet things down, because I ' ll put you out. myself. Oh! it isn ' t necessary for you to invite me out. I just came in to tell you what I think of this place and — Just then the Rector of Corby came in. No! I don ' t want to sit down, Sorg, said he, but you fellows will have to cut this noise. McCarty how did you get in here? ou day students make me tired telling your troubles to everybody. Come on now, you ' d better get out of here or you ' ll get more than the man that wouldn ' t drink lemonade out of a tin cup. And McCarty went home. HARRY V. GARVT.Y. Streator. 111. ■Like till- mil III ill, III tiillriii iiiillil iiilh liix mrfrt siniij. Gravey Garvey. the illustrious (songster) of Corby, is one of the many prides of the University. He has made a most decided hit because of his sing- ing. From sunrise to sunset — and one is tempted to add, from .sunset to sun- rise — his sweet tenor may be heard throughout the halls of Corby. Whether he ' ll ever make an engineer, or not. it is hard to say, but when it comes to heaving bricks, well, he ' s a past master of the art. If you chance to travel along the bank of the Kankakee during the latter part of June and should hear the noisy coughing of a gas-engine in distress, don ' t worry. It will be only Gravey and his assistant engineer Heine homeward bound. EDWARD H. GUNSTER. Srranton, Pa. A illhui fij hiiiiitil in nhriiifs iiitrri Klinif. Gunster is far and away the best look- ing member of the short mechanicals. He has a great penchant for track work and does the Marathon about as well as he does a Welsh rabbit, which is saying much in his favor. Because of the poetry he puts into his cooking, Alice ' has been crowned Royal Chef of Corby and presides most charmingly at the incantations of the Third Flat Chafing Dish Club. But he is no harp of a single string. Far be it from such. In addition to his ability to cook and to run, he skates (in Winter) — yes. he skates like a lark sings and between whiles — that is from Winter to Winter — he rivals the Baron in the fiendishness with which he snapshots everything that comes within reach. EDMUND V. BUCHER Logansport. Ind. When not in the shops or at the I wo Billies, Bucher may be found most any time in his room designing an internal combustion turbine or some other fool thing. He is a great friend of Brother Leopold, who keeps our embryo engineer stocked from time to time with tobacco in one or another of its manifestations. It seems strange that Flywheel can ' t talk to a fellow for five minutes without opening up a local option discussion, but that ' s the case. He IS a most staunch advocate of the measure, they say — when he has the option. We hear whispers floating, to the effect that the ladies think well of Buch and that he is a regular cut-up in addition to his other characteristics. HARRY J. SCHRADER. Jonesboro, Ind. A III III r siiiiilxiiiiin ii.r.r m.J. Dutch Schrader is a hard worker and a student, but notwithstanding he always finds time to visit the fishing hole and the happy hunting grounds whenever the weather is good. If you are in doubt as to the season of the year, all you have to do is to watch for Dutch. He was the stronghold of the Corby football team this year, and his thorough knowledge of the game enabled him to captain it through a most successful season. Dutch was never known to skive — he does it too quietly. But his strongest recommendation is neither angling nor foot-ball. Ye Gods, how he can eat! S LVESIER L. O ' BRIEN. Dekalb, 111. His f ' lt t ' trt hiiims .! Ihr ami. W indy O ' Brien, recorded in the lamily Bible as Sylvester, has been with us for some time, lying patiently in wait for greatness to fall upon him. That he IS flirting with success by belonging to our crowd goes without saying. He is at present building a real gasoline engine and we are sure it will run some day if Win- dy keeps tinkering at it long enough. SyKester has a delightfully soft musical voice which he gained after months and months of stiff training under Caruso ' Garvey, our songster de luxe. He is of a peaceful disposition and was never handed more than a hundred demerits at once, for he is a slick one and has a most evasive way of steering clear of trouble. OSCAR EDWARD VEAZY. Charlestown. W. ' ,i llotr Kirret ttt lit ' in } itnflir ipitsMH lunik. Coon hails from the capital city of West Virginia. He has a family in- stinct for engineering and will, no doubt, gain renown some day, if he keeps at it long enough. He is also fond of the drama, especially as it is portrayed at the Indiana, his patronage of said institution being a marvel of regularity. Hydraulics is a strong hobby with Coon and he can construct nearly anything from a steam pump to a water wagon, provided he has water enough and a little good luck. He takes powerful interest in his room-mate Caruso Garvey, and insists most emphatically that that young man end his daily concerts each evening during rec . There ' s no singing in this room after night-prayer, Garvey. It ' s a vote. LEO J. WELSH. Wilhamsfield, III. ■■ I ' is nut ill f ic gotno hut in tlw rninini — lliiriin lirs Aix nl ' tll. This is not the first appearance of Woozy our friend from Williamslield. Not satisfied with one sheepskin from his Alma Mater, he returned a while ago to try for the second. They look so nifty around the house, you know, these diplo- mas do, that he ventured a second throw. Incidentally he is said to have captured several South Bend maidens ' hearts. He has a mania for walking, espe- cially down the Three Eye tracks, and may be seen strolling riverward in the afternoon of any decent ' rec ' day. Woozy is popular with classmates and professors alike and should anyone doubt his being a good fellow, his membership in the Colonel ' s Club alone ought to dispel the hesitation. Farewell White dawn along the strand — forthcoming day Beheld us, blithesome, dazzled with the glare Of golden prospects. Sunshine, mirth and play Our portions were, nor knew we aught of care. Full morn along the strand — a living flame. New friendships burned to love in sturdy youth. Enrapt, we paced the halls of Notre Dame To drink in knowledge from her founts of truth. High noon along the strand — in faith and hope We labored on and learned that boyish dreams May fade and die; that we too soon must cope With life; that shades oft mingle with its beams. Cra j dusk along the strand — our dream-days o ' er. Dear Alma Mater spreads her portals wide And says to each; Thou art a child no more. Step forth into the world, my truth thy guide. Black night along the strand — ' tis time to go. Farewell, our Queen, thy armor we have donned. Adieu, ye friends; when morrow ' s roseate glow Illumes the sky, O may we meet beyond.

' 77 President, Notre Dame Alumni Association MEMBERS OF THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The Alumni T Commencement m June, 1908, the graduates of the University assembled for the first formal reunion that has been held in several years. Forty years earlier m the life of Notre Dame an Alumni Association had been formed for the purpose of giving the graduates an official part in the celebration of the Silver Jubilee of 1869. At the time of the jubilee the graduates were few in number and the courses of study likewise limited. Degrees had been conferred in only four departments, the total number of them being only eighty-four. Two of these were awarded to men of distinction and were honorary, the degree of Doctors of Laws; twenty-five persons received the degree of Master of Arts. In ten cases the honor conferred was that of Bachelor of Science, while in the other forty-seven cases the degree was that of Bachelor of Arts. In many respects the record made by the University in the first quarter of a century of its existence is a worthy record, even if consideration be given only to the story of its graduates. Prominent among students of that early time, and still among the living, are three whose record in the affairs of the world is one of distinction. Two of these are the oldest living graduates. Brig- adier General Robert W. Healy, A. B., 1859, and Hon. James B. O ' Brien, A. B., 1859, the former noted for his brilliant career in the Civil War, the latter eminent as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New Mexico. Both of these gentlemen attended the reunion of 1908 and are expected again this year for the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of their graduation. TTie other notable name among the graduates of that early period is Hon. Timothy E. Howard, A. B., 1862, Professor of English and Astron- omy at the University for the twenty years preceding the fire of 1879, Laetare Medallist of 1898, member of the State senate of Indiana from 1886 to 1891, and judge on the supreme bench of the State from 1893 to 1899, during which period he was for three terms Chief Justice of the State. He is still active as a lawyer and educator in his seventy-third year, and is at present in charge of our law course. The second quarter of a century, 1869 to 1894, witnessed in the University a development that brought joy to the heart of the Founder, the Very Reverend Edward Sorin, C. S. C, whose good fortune it was to see the results of a full half century of his labors in the land of his adoption. He had already passed to his reward at the time of the celebration of the Golden Jubilee of 1895, but it must be remembered that this event took place nearly three years after the fiftieth anniversary of Father Sorin ' s arrival at the place which was to be called, in the charter of 1 844, the University of Notre Dame du Lac. Father Sorin died at the end of the fifty-first year of his labors in Northern Indiana. At the time of his death the graduates of the University numbered about five hundred. The courses of study had expanded so as to include nearly all the branches of University work. TTie development was, of course, not complete; nevertheless, it was striking in many respects. Most of all, the growth was regular and steady in regard to expansion of courses, beginning with the year 1888. when the first Litt. B. degree was conferred, and continuing to the present time. It was during this period that the scientific courses were strengthened and diversified, a dozen new degrees being added to the list in fifteen years. Many of the graduates have been enrolled among the dead. The first ten graduating classes have only a few represent- atives among the living. The eternal roll call has been sounded for all the members of the classes of ' 49. ' 32. ' 53. ' 54. ' 60. and ' 67. Of all those who received degrees from the University prior to 1867, only eight remain among the living. Among them all, living and dead, there have been many who have achieved success. Some have been distinguished statesmen and lawyers, as for instance United States Senator John M. Gearin, of the class of 1871. one of the most brilliant orators of the country. Augustus Caesar Dodge, who received from the University the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws in 1874, when his son Charles was graduated in the classical course, was likewise a United States Senator. It is worthy of note that the distinction of United States Senator was conferred on Augustus Dodge by the State of Iowa in the same year that the same honor was conferred on his father, Henry Dodge, by the State of Wisconsin. This occurred in the year 1848, the year in which both States were admitted to the Union. At the present time the State of Ohio is represented in Congress by a member of the class of 1 893, Hon. Timothy R. Ans- berry. Charles P. Neill, United States Commissioner of Labor, and Maurice Francis Egan, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States at the royal court of Copenhagen, are likewise men of Notre Dame. To these names may be added that of Hon. Albert Galen. LL. B., 1896. who is Attorney general of the State of Montana. Many of the graduates have formed an attachment for Notre Dame in a special manner by returning to the class-room as professors. Most venerated among the dead are the names of Joseph Lyons and Arthur Stace. Among the living are many whose lives have been bound up with the University for years. Edwards and Hoynes and McCue and Ackerman and Maurus have records of devotedness and long continued service as members of the faculty, which are hard to excel. Others have distinguished themselves in the various activities for which they were suited, some as physicians, some as mili- tary men, some in the affairs of commerce, some in professional baseball, some in the ecclesiastical life. Of first prominence among the churchmen who received their early training at Notre Dame is the Most Reverend Archbishop P. W. Riordan, D. D., of San Francisco. A student at the University in the fifties and elected member of the Alumni Association by unanimous vote at the time of reorganization. His Grace has ever been a devoted son of Notre Dame. Were it possible we might enumerate others, but our space forbids and we close with the hope that this information may be of interest to the boys of the past and may, by the knowledge that they are not forgotten, help to keep alive in the hearts of the grads. of yesterday the same love for their Alma Mater which Notre Dame bears to all the sons of her bosom. Our Campus Record HE sixty-sixth year of Notre Dame ' s existence has come and gone. It came, teeming with the spirit of the past, recalling to the minds of her sons the toil and sufferings, trials and tribulations that she underwent in her founding and growth, inspiring them with encouragement for a year ' s noble work; it went, leaving feelings of appreciation for deeds accomplished and hopes of a yet brighter future. Within, the college is strengthened for having weath- ered this year, and without, her merits are better known and her value more thoroughly recognized. Onward and upward has Notre Dame progressed in her varied fields of work, and her spiritual, intellectual and physical seeds have blossomed forth a hundred fold, leaving her richer at the close of this period than at the beginning. A great event of the year was the organization of the Alumni Association, which was consummated here last June during Commencement time. It was a deplorable fact that, although for many years various Alumni clubs of merely local influence had been organized, yet the general Alumni had never before convened in one place to lay plans for harmonious action looking to the benefit of Alma Mater. The enthusiasm and loyalty, however, evinced by the Old Grads.. who left their offices in the busy world and gathered once more on the campus, demonstrated that neither the spirit nor the flesh was weak in taking this happy step, but that they only wanted a leader. A practical demonstration of her rapid development and recognition of the superiority of Notre Dame ' s environment is to be observed in the large influx of students last semester, which far surpassed the enrol lment of any previous year. Old fellows, who arrived late, were astonished to be informed that their rooms were occupied and that they must hie themselves temporarily to the confines of Siberia until some definite arrangements could be made. Rooms were at a premium, and the Students ' Office was in despair as to where it would house the overflow. At least the knot was cut, when it was suggested that the Cradle of the University, which had been vacant since the building of Dujarie Institute, be converted into a residence hall. Seniors were offered first option on the building and quickly perceiving the capabilities of a frat. house beside the Lake, which this building offered them, jumped at the opportunity, packed their meagre belongings and started for the house on the Lakeshore Drive, amid the God-speeds of the Sorinities. Athletically the year was decidedly successful. The baseball team of ' 08, under the captain ship of John Brogan, made an extended trip through the East, meeting eight of the large universities, winning seven games and suffering only one defeat. After this successful invasion the papers generally heralded our aggregation as certainly the strongest college team in the West and probably the strongest in the country. Here in the West we carried fourteen consecutive victories and easily retained the Western champion- ship title, which we won the season previous. One game was dropped on the home grounds to the Alumni team, composed of the stellar lights of former days, most of whom are now in the profes- sional ranks, but that defeat was really victory, for after all Notre Dame won. The football season was more than usually gratifying in its results. Out of nine games played, the team was victorious in eight, bowing in submission only to the mighty Michiganders. The State championship was this year wrested from Indiana State, which held the honor for five consecutive seasons. Wabash, another aspirant to the championship title, was forced by Notre Dame ' s sturdy war- riors to go under her yoke, and Marquette, the speedy team of Milwaukee, was treated in like manner, but not, however, until it had put up a brilliant resistance. The team registered a record of isiT OF MINISTER wu TUNG FANG which Notre Dame may rightly be proud; it is this, that not once during the season did an opponent cross her goal line. Nineteen men won their monograms, twelve of them for the first time. The basketball season was the sensation of the year. This game is a recruit, innovated in varsity athletics of the year previous, and the enthusiasm with which it has been received by the students indicates it is here to stay. During the Christmas holi- days the varsity team took an extended trip through the South, competing with the best talent in that locality, and winning fifteen out of eighteen games played. In February this same five invaded the East and returned with six victories to their credit, suffering three defeats. The single defeat on the home floor by Detroit A. C. was largely due to the poor condition of the men after their gruelling schedule through the East. The title of State Champions in basketball was unquestionably awarded to the Gold and Blue quintette when they twice defeated Wabash, former Champions for five consecutive years. In track athletics Notre Dame continued the wonderful showing she has always made in this branch of sport. At the Chicago A. C. Invitation Meet our team won first honors against a field of favorites. It also carried off the palm in the State Indoor Meet held at Indianapolis under the auspices of the Marion Club of that city. TTie winning of this meet entitles Notre Dame to retain the State Indoor Track Championship. Five gym. records were BREAKING GROUND FOR MALSH HALL shattered this year and many college records equalleci Boxing and wrestling were introduced into the gymnastic curriculum and some very good talent is being developed. But during these brilliant achievements in the physical, the intellectual were not neglected in college activities. Our department of oratory produced Mr. I. E. McNamee, Notre Dame ' s representative in the State Oratorical Contest, who won first place over six other colleges of the State. By having won this contest, Notre Dame is privileged to represent Indiana in the big Inter-State contest, which will be held at Lawrence University, Appleton, Wis., on May 2 1st. Our debating team reflected much honor upon itself and the University by defeating Georgetown in a joint debate held at Washington, D. C, on April 2 1st. This was the last of a series of three debates, held between the two universities; this year ' s team enjoys the distinction of breaking the tie and adding one more triumph to Notre Dame ' s long list of victories. The Corsican Brothers was cleverly presented by the Dramatic Club on President ' s Day and the more difficult task of staging Macbeth was attempted for Senior Day, Easter Monday. The Glee Club also evinced marked musical ability in its numerous appearances before the public, and the Minstrel Show, soon to be presented by that organization, will undoubtedly be received with enthusiastic approval. In chronicling college events of the year the appearance of many distinguished visitors must not be overlooked. His Excel- lency, Wu Ting Fang, Chinese Ambassador, spent a day with us last June, lecturing on education and the universities of China. Dr. Lutoslowski, Professor of Psychology in the University of Cracow, Austrian Poland, was with us for a week and delivered a series of lectures on Polish Law, The Logic of Plato, and The Training of the Will. Among the visiting litterateurs was Frank H. Spearman, the noted short story writer, who in his very pleasing and informal way addressed the English students on the making and publication of books; the Democratic Party received a number of converts after William Jennings Bryan talked to the students in Washington Hall on Faith. Frederick Warde, the Shakespearean authority, lectured during the Winter and Dr. James Walsh, Professor at Fordham University, in a series of talks discoursed most learnedly on education in the Thirteenth Century. A new dormitory building, the long waited-for and much-needed Walsh Hall, is now in the process of construction. In size, it will be much larger than any other of the residence halls, and in architectural design much more elaborate. Located directly south of Sorin, its imposing proportions will greatly enhance the symmetrical beauty of the Quad. The work of construction is being pushed with the utmost rapidity and the building will undoubtedly be ready for occupancy when the Registrar ' s office re-opens in September. Thus the year has passed. Hopes have been realized, and results obtained. Students and professors alike feel that it has been pre-eminently successful, for we are Western champions in baseball and State champions in football, basketball and oratory; our enrollment has increased twenty per cent, and in general scholarship we have maintained proportionate superiority. College rou- tine will soon be laid aside for vacation and, peacefully contented, we will then rest in the satisfaction that this, the sixty-sixth year of Notre Dame ' s career is surely her greatest. CHARTER MEMBERS OF NOTRE DAME GRAND ARMY POST, NO. 569 UPPER ROW: BRO. BENEDICT BRO. IGNATIUS COL. WM. HOYNES BRO. RAPHAEL BRO. COSMOS LOWER ROW: BRO. LEANDER REV. WM. OLMSTEAD REV. WM. CORBY REV. P. COONEY BRO. EUSTACHIUS BRO. JOHN The G. A. R. Post OTRE DAME proudly displays to lier sons of today the names of her warrior-sons of the past — the names of the chaplains and nurses, of the officers and men, both regular and volunteer, who took the field, and of the sailors and gunners, who manned the nation ' s men-of-war in the day of her great struggle. With cheerful hearts and valiant purpose they dropped their books and tools to fight and to die if necessary for their country ' s good. Some returned after the conflict had ended, some answered the roll-call of that innumerable host from which there is no mustering- out. Those who came home again took up their respective labors of peace, and in 1897 the few while-haired veterans yet living decided to join the ranks once more — not the ranks of war, but of the Grand Army of the Republic. The Notre Dame Grand Army Post holds a peculiar position in the history of American soldiery. Of the hundreds scat- tered broad-cast over the country Notre Dame Post No. 569 stands alone, for it unites the sacredness of religion and the glory of patriotism as does no other; its members are all men who have renounced the world for the religious life. In a solemn and holy fusion of Christianity and patriotism it best represents the spirit of the war for the preservation of the Union and most fittingly honors and consecrates the memory of the comrades who have fallen. On October 5th, 1897, Notre Dame Post was organized. General Nicar of South Bend officiating as mustering-in officer. Father Corby became commander and eleven veterans qualified for membership. They were: — Very Rev. William Corby, C. S. C, Chaplain, 88th. New ' ork Infantry: Rev. Peter P. Cooney, C. S. C, Chaplain, 35th. Indiana Infantry: Rev. William A. Olmstead, C. S. C, Captain, 2nd. Infantry, New York Volunteers; Colonel, 59th. New York Veteran Volunteers; Brigadier Gen- eral, commanding 1st. Brig., 2nd. Division, 2nd. Army Corps, Army of the Potomac: Brother Leander (Col. James McLain), Co. B, 15th. U. S. Infantry: Brother John Chrysostom (Mark Wills), Co. I, 54th. Pa. Infantry: Brother Cosmos (Nicholas Barth). 2nd. U. S. Artillery: Brother Benedict (James Mantele), Co. A, 1st. Pa. Heavy Artillery: Brother Raphael (James Malloy), Co. C, 133rd. Pa. Infantry: Brother Ignatius (Ignatz Mayer), Co. E, 75th. Pa. Infantry: Brother Eustachius (John Mclnerny), Co. H, 83rd. Ohio Infantry: Brother Agatho (Joseph Staley), Co. G , 8th. Indiana Volunteers.. General James S. Dodge, Major-General St. Clair Mulholland, General Nicar, Colonel Hoynes, and Very Rev. A. Mor- rissey were present that evening and enlivened the camp-fire which followed the mustering-in exercises with speeches and war remin- iscenses. As time rolled on other veterans were admitted to membership; these are the names: Rev. Joseph Carrier, Chaplain, 6th. Missouri Infantry; Rev. Edward Martin, U. S. Navy; Rev. James Boyle, Co. C , 37th. New York Infantry; Rev. F. Schmitt, Co. B , 100th. Pa. Infantry; Rev. Thomas Kennedy, Co. A , 1st. New York Infantry Volunteers. Father Corby, the first commander of the Post, enlisted at the beginning of the war and was commissioned Chaplain of the 88th. New York Volunteers, otherwise known as the Irish Brigade, with which he remained to the end of hostilities. The inspiring episode of bravery and coolness vvhicii occurred on the Field of Gettysburg, when he gave the last benediction to the Irish Brigade under fire, has sounded his name throughout the land, and a statue, showing him in the performance of that solemn rite, is being erected at Gettysburg to commemorate the nobleness of his work and to testify to the love which Americans bear to Christian self-sacrifice. At the battle of Fredericksburg the Brigade charged the hill three thousand strong, and with the setting sun the bugle gathered only two hundred and fifty weary, wounded men back into camp. The rest lay scattered, dead upon the hillside. Father Corby was one of the survivors of that decimated brigade, and all through the day he carried on his good work of charity, compas- sion and mercy. Another noted missionary was Father Cooney, probably the most heroic army chaplain Indiana ever knew. He was an illustrious soldier, who gave his best years to brighten the darkest days of his country ' s history and who bore the heavy trials and austerities of a protracted campaign with all the meekness and forbearance of a martyr. At the death of Father Corby, on December 28, 1897, Rev. W. A. Olm- stead succeeded to the commandership. His record as a soldier and leader is best told by t he honors for bravery and ability which came to him, being mustered out at the end of the war as a Brigadier-General. Colonel James McLain, better known as Brother Leander, became the third commander of Notre Dame ' s Post. He was a member of the 15th. U. S. Infantry, and took part in all the great engagements of Sherman ' s March to the Sea. A charter member of the local Post, he has been promment in G. A. R. circles for years, and was Aide-de-Camp on the staff of General Black, Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. Besides these soldiers who have been connected with the Post there were many, who had passed to the Great Beyond before this branch of the G. A. R. was established. Rev. James Dillon, Chaplain, 53rd. New York Infantry and Rev. Paul E. Gillen, Chap- lain, 1 70th. New ' l ork Infantry, were men whose fame went far beyond the confines of their own regi ments. Father Gillen, particularly, with his great white hat and his private army-wagon was a familiar sight on the firing lines of the Army of the Potomac. Calmly, almost heedlessly, he passed through the thickest part REV. P.ATRICK DILLON. C. S. C. MR. WILUAM PINKLR ION COLONEL BRADY REV. JAMES DILLON. C. S. C. REV MILUA.M CORBV. C. S. C. All of the Army of the Potomac of the firing, carrying medicine and food to the wounded, and administering the blessings of the Church to those who desired them. Brother Richard (William Stoney), Co. A , 38th. New Jersey Infantry; Brother Richard (TTiomas Martin), Troop I , 1st. Pa. Cavalry; and Brother Polycarp (James White), U. S. Navy, were also beyond the dominion of the Grand Army at the time the N. D. Post was organized. When Lincoln called for volunteers in sixty-one, a mass meeting was held at South Bend to discuss the great questions which the mustermg of an army involved. The last man to speak on that un forgotten night was both young and inexperienced, a mere lad in appearance, but with his enthusiasm he aroused the crowd as none before him had done, and when at the end of his speech he pledged himself and his band of Notre Dame lads to help save the Union, the patriotism of his hearers ran wild. He, with a number of his men, straightway entered the service; he was soon advanced to a Colonelcy for bravery and at the battle of Lexington was wounded and died — all before he had reached his twenty-fifth birthday. This young soldier was Captain Lynch, leader of the Notre Dame Cadets. Among the others were Patrick Calligan, Patrick Burke, and Peter Clotter, who enlisted with just as much enthusiasm and fought with just as much bravery as did Lynch, though their service did not meet with equal recognition. In the Autumn of 1861, Governor Norton of Indiana issued a call for nurses to attend the sick, the wounded and dying soldiers, and immediately the Sisters of Holy Cross responded. From a large number of volunteers twelve sisters were chosen, and headed by Mother Angela, they entered upon their new labors. From that time until the close of the war they gave their untiring service to the care of the unfortunate in the military hospitals at Washington, Memphis, Paducah, Louisville, Cairo and Mound City. The records of the Civil War bear the names of nearly eighty Sisters of Holy Cross whose gentle, well-nigh angelic, care snatched uncounted soldiers from premature graves or eased the pain of their last hours. Words are too cold ever to tell the true story of that band of holy women. The cross and the beads — these were their weapons, their mainstay and inspiration. Volumes might be written on their heroism and devotedness, but it would all pertain only to the least important of the services rendered by them. The spiritual good they accomplished is recorded in heaven alone — it will never be known among men. Many of the soldiers were converted by the faith and virtue of the Sisters and asked admittance to their Church. Mound City Hospital especially was the scene of many saintly, martyr-like sacrifices, persistent attention to duty, and ceaseless watching and nursing amid suffering and desolation. In the Spring of 1862, Sister Fidelis, remarkable for her zeal and piety, was called to her eternal reward. As she lay on her death-bed in the crowded hospital ward, the attending doctor remarked about the fine appearance of the front of the hospital. The dying Sister seemed interested and requested further information. In surprise the doctor asked if she had not seen the color of the building in which she had been living six months. No, Sister Fidelis meekly replied, it was evening when I came. Such IS the work of our Notre Dame nuns, priests and brothers. When we review the history of Alma Mater we feel justly proud of their loyalty and patriotism and we point with thrilling pride to these men and women, who carried with them amid the furies of war the benign spirit of fealty to God and of devotion to the Union. Only three of those faithful nuns and seven of those veteran soldiers still remain to remind us of Notre Dame ' s participation in the nation ' s hour of trial. Them we salute. CLUBS Frank R.

O ' Shea, - Heap Big Chief - Medicine Man Chief of the Scouts Lest there be any doubt about the nature of the Club, let it be known to all men, regardless of race, color, creed or nationality, that the Bolivar Club, of N. D., founded by Baraboo Bill of the Great Northwest and Pratch of the Peaceful Pace, guar- antees to each of its members vacation amusements, which combine all the artificial enjoyments of the modern club with the rarer sports of the camp and sail by which our primeval, mediaeval and coeval fellow-beings were and are wont to recreate themselves. Last summer the Boliver Club, having reached the fourth milestone on its journey to the Elysian Fields, resolved to celebrate the occasion in its usually befitting manner. Forthwith, therefore, mighty plans began to revolve beneath the ebony locks of Heap Big Chief. Long and late did he labor, until, what with mechanics, electricity, gas and numerous other external agencies, an ark was constructed, which, ceteris paribus compared not quite ridiculously with that which stemmed the tide of the Deluge. Then the Great Council was assembled in the inner sanctum, a pipe apiece was handed around, and the course of the voyage mapped out. When all was said and sealed , it was officially announced that our good ship would be launched at Leeper ' s Bridge, and thence would proceed without delay to retrace the path of Marquette and his band to the mouth of the old St. Joe. Accordingly, on August the 22nd, with all the paraphernalia of an old historic explorer and all the modern apparatus that belongs by nature to camp life on board, we began our fourth annual outing trip as the Bolivarites. It was high tide for the mill gates above were raised and, as unnecessary physical exertion is strictly contrary to Club rules, we filled our pipes, stretched out upon the canvas and prepared to pass the day in quiet ease, floating with the current and admiring the scenery. But, O vain delusion! Hardly had we got fairly under way, when our trusty pilot, likewise he of the curly locks, sighted a rock upon which the rapid current was straightway bearing us. Nothing daunted, however, he grabbed a pike and calming the fears of us less experienced ones, with a confidential smile raised the instrument to stave off the danger. There was a crash, a splash, a rescue, a sound of dripping water and roaring laughter. This vas our first incident, but we were still happy in the ignorance of what was to follow. Late in the afternoon, camp was pitched on the plains of Bertrand, a place once noted for various overland stage routes, but now chiefly for loneliness, chewing tobacco and a.xle grease. Here, for reasons best known to themselves and those acquainted with their appetities, two trusties, viz. he of the Bald Head from Malone and the one-time Bard of Pinnibog essayed to do the culinary stunt. We might mention en passant that no one died from the effect. But, on the following day, when we landed at Niles to skirt the dam every one was in such a humor that, as our friend from Jailburg expressed it, there were dams and damns, especially the latter. However, after offending against the spirit of our Club law by four hours of unremitting toil, we again launched out. this time with a heart for any fate. Shooting the rapids below the city, we enjoyed fifteen miles of smooth sailing and, when night again overtook us, we were snoosing beneath the beech trees amid the mosquitoes one mile this side of Buchanan. But ere we become monotonous, let us relate the events that took place in that never-to-be-forgotten night at Berrien Springs. Darkness had long since screened the landscape from our view and thick clouds of fog were settling down over the river and valley. We were stationed upon a little promontory just above the dam with water on three sides of us and a steep embankment crowned by a peach orchard on the other. Supper over, various members betook themselves to the city to seek refreshments or amusment, or both as conscience or propriety dictated, leaving but two in charge. The hour was late when the revellers returned. Pipes finished, each rolled in his blanket, and soon, to all appearances was lost in the land of dreams. Ah! ye dreams, there ' s the rub. It so happened that one Tini-id fellow did dream, and dreaming, committed the indiscreet act of rolling over, which he shouldn ' t have done, because in doing so he rolled into the river. He might have been pardoned had he crawled out quietly and gone to sleep again. But no sooner had he come to the surface than he rudely brought the whole camp into consternation and confusion by giving vent to a demoniacal yell, I ' m in the river. By special request, the consequent incidents are left out. Sunrise found us moving in sorry procession through the streets of Berrien Springs. But the clouds that float over camp life, like those over any other, have a silver lining, and from there on to the blue waters of Lake Michigan, there was a continuous round of solid pleasure and enjoyment hich reached its climax in a launching party on a moonlight evening, out beyond the break- waters and the light houses of Old St. Joe. As a fitting close to the fourth anniversary of the Bolivar Club, a sumptuous banquet was enjoyed at the Henrico in Benton Harbor, where old pledges were renewed and new ones made, that all would remain true to the laws and traditions of the Club as Baraboo Bill and Pratch of the Peaceful Face had laid them down.

D A A T I C s Dramatics HERE was a time, and not so very many years ago either, when professional dramatic companies were unknown to the hst of Washington Hall attractions. In those days students were quite content to listen to lectures, to attend the concerts of mediocre musical organizations, and to let that suffice. The appearance of a humorist or a magi- cian was hailed with delight and those entertainers who offered a few novelties were remembered and talked about for months. Times have changed, however, and now the year would be incomplete without a visit from one or more first-class theatrical companies. The season just closed was a fair example of what Washington Hall has to offer each winter in a theatrical way. Of the plays presented. The Matchmaker, with our old friend Dan Sully in the title role, easily ranks best. Mr. Sully was one of the first actors to come to Notre Dame, and during the past few seasons has appeared on the local boards several times. His play, which was found to be a revised edition of Our Pastor in which he was seen last year, is one which is bound to make an appeal to any audience that likes a homely little story, told in a humorous way and one which is entirely free from anything offen- sive. This little comedy makes a particular appeal to Notre Dame, since its principal character is an old parish priest of the type we have all met and loved. He is the advisor of his community and all of its cares and troubles are laid at his feet. He is the adjuster of difficulties and, although sometimes he gets himself mto a box, his fine sense of humor gets him out of it just as quickly. Such plays as this of Dan Sully ' s furnish any amount of refreshing, innocent fun and one feels the better for having seen them. They are not intellectual ; they contain no hidden philosophy, but they afford just the amount of relaxation that students need from time to time, after they have been poring over their books and plugging stuffy lecture notes in the class room. Another dramatic attraction of the past year was Lincoln at the White House, presented by the Benjamin Chapin Play- ers. Of this play we can say very little that is favorable, because it lacked much in artistic finish and dragged so interminably through its four acts that it grew extremely tiresome. It is, however, a unique bit of dramaturgy and presents the best character-study of Abraham Lincoln that has ever been put on the stage. Mr. Chapin, the author of the piece, has made a particular study of Lincoln ' s life and when he first produced his play, thought the originality of the production would make it score a success. He was mistaken in this since in writing it he had not taken dramatic technique into consideration. He forgot that action is essential to any drama and that pictures alone will not suffice on the legitimate stage. Everyone who has followed the annals of the American stage during the last three decades, knows of Mr. Frederick Warde, the Shakespearean actor. Ill health has recently caused him to abandon his profession, with the result that what the stage has lost the lecture platform has gained. It was as a lecturer that he came to Notre Dame during the month of January, and his visit will long be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to hear him on this occasion. Mr Warde is not an extremist along any line of thought. He is not endeavoring to propagate any new movement, nor IS he individualized by any eccentricity. He is an actor; a survivor of the old school, a sound scholar, and a man who knows the text of Shakespeare to such an extent that he is an acknowledged authority. During his long experience as an actor Mr. Warde has devoted his talents exclusively to classical work. He has, to use the words of Dr. Edward Everett Hale, helped to effect the reconciliation be- t seen literature and the stage, which were long since divorced by the melodramatists. He has interpreted the greatest works of the master-writers, and through his deep insight into the mysterious underlying and almost hidden meanings of the various authors, he has won for himself the laurel of the great actor. When it is taken into consideration what a real actor can do to raise the stage to its proper place as an educational factor, and how very few actors of this and past centuries have been truly great, it will be better appre- ciated how much we owe to Mr. Warde and the other men of his caliber. His lecture on Julius Caesar was a happy choice, every schoolboy being more or less familiar with the text of this great tragedy. Mr. Warde ' s personality is a valuable asset; his face is pleasant, his manner easy and his gestures graceful. Following close upon the lecture of Mr. Warde, came that of Mr. Norman Hackett, another actor who has reached the realm of stardom. Mr. Hackett has appeared at Notre Dame before and consequently upon his return last January, he was greeted as an old friend. His lecture was informal and of general inter- est making an appeal to every student irrespective of his age, class standing or course of studies. A recent visit to Stratford-on-Avon gave him a fund of enter- taining matter concerning the place of Shakespeare ' s birth, the influences that have left their mark on the writings of the dramatist and certain anecdotes that have not yet found their way into print. The plays themseKes were spoken of to give the young student confidence in his powers of appreciation rather than as a source of critical dissection and Mr. Hackett read a number of passages to show how unmistakably the author has outlined the interpretation of the various characters. The use of pure English also came in for its share of the discussion and, if we may judge from the actor ' s own diction and enunciation, it may read- ily be seen that he has a right to speak on this subject. There is a g roup of young actors, who during the past few seasons have been doing about the same WALTER WARD IN Two Titled Truants GEORGE CLARKE Two Titled Truants line of work and who have demonstaled their histrionic ability. Of these Norman Hackett is one. Another is James oung.  Young took an afternoon off, while filling an engagement in South Bend, and came out to the University to give a talk before the student body. He is no novice on the lecture platform. Mr. Young chose to speak on Hamlet ' and this play made a fitting close for the series of Shakespearean lectures which were given throughout the Winter. He is full of his subject and is an enthusiast in regard to this great tragedy. Tlie last, though by no means the least of the lecturers of the year, was Donald Robertson of Chicago, who during the past two seasons has been known as the only real exponent of the artistic drama in America. Mr. Robertson ' s lecture was entitled The Players Calling. but he did not confine himself to this narrow sphere. Instead he delivered a most interesting and scholarly talk on the relation of art to the theater. In vigorous style he flayed those actors, who are simply buffoons, and those managers who pander to the baser tastes of the public, merely because it is through this channel that they get richer commercial return. He is a man with a message well worth the hearing and his talk will be remembered as one of the valuable educational treats of the season. But these professional entertainers were not the only ones who contributed to the enjoyment of the student body during the year. The Notre Dame Dramatic Society, which has more seasons of success behind it than any professional theatrical organization in America, was up and doing and as a result three plays were produced that bore the ear marks of merit. TTiese young actors who in work time are ordinary students, spent many long weeks in rehearsal, freely giving their recreation time in order that the student productions would come up to those of former years. The Dramatic Society was handicapped to some extent owing to the fact that many of its older members were not in school this year; but several new actors appeared and their names will now go down into the annals of University dramatics along with those others who have contributed so much for our entertainment. The first student play of the season was given on President ' s Day. in observance of a custom of many years ' standing. The piece chosen was The Corsican Brothers, a rather pretentious French translation in which Mr. James K. Hackett appeared profes- sionally some seasons ago. In attempting a play of this kind the young actors under the direction of Professor Spiess took a burden upon their shoulders that was hard to carry, but it must be said to their credit that they carried it, and carried it well. The situa- tions in this play are difficult, they must be worked up with finesse and they must be sustained by real acting. In a surprising manner this was done, and be it said to their credit and to that of their director, that The Corsican Brothers came quite up to the Notre Dame standard. In this play, Mr. J. E. Peak made his first appearance on the local stage, although he has long been identified with a dramatic club in South Bend, his home city. He proved to be a strong man in the double role he interpreted; his stage bearing was graceful and he read his lines in a clear and intelligent manner. Claude Sorg, who is now a Notre Dame veteran, was cast in a prominent role and sustained it in his usual superior fashion. Mr. Sorg has appeared at Notre Dame so often and his work his been generally so good that he needs but Itttle comment in this review. He is a man upon whom the stage director may always depend and he always comes up to expectations. Mr. John McDill Fox, another old-timer, gave a splendid interpretation of the role in which he was cast and it was a disappointment lo his friends that he did not appear in the other plays given through the season. Leo McElroy, our leading lady, por- trayed the principal female role in a perfectly satisfactory manner. TTie remainder of the cast was strong and the scenic investiture of the play was elaborate. As has been the custom for a good many years, the St. Patrick ' s Day play was given over to the Philopatrians. Two Titled Truants, written especially for the Pilopatrians by John Lane O ' Connor, and coming up to their every need, was presented. It has been seen at Notre Dame before but repetition does not hurt a Philopatrian production, for the Carroll Hallers are actors born and bred and their dramatic work under Bro. Cyprian is always most interesting. It is at this point that a word of praise must be said for Brother Cyprian, who has been largely instrumental in making .Notre Dame dramatics what they are. This hard-working man has spared no time or pains to lend a helping hand in staging every production that has been put on. He has been called into consultation when things have got themselves in a tangle, and with a dexterity peculiarly his own he has untangled the knots and set everything moving again in a quiet and dignified way. Brother Cyprian has a talent for stage directing and this manifested itself in the Philopatrian play of this year. It was a pretty little conceit and the small boys of the cast distinguished themselves in its rendition. Walter Ward and George Clarke were especially good, as were James Robins, Otto Hug, William Downing and all the rest. It is of interest to note that Claude Sorg, who, although an ex-Philopatrian, was pressed into service in this play to fill an emergency, learned his lines and played his part on two days notice, an achievement of which many a professional might well be proud. Easter Monday the Dramatic Society presented Macbeth. It must be said that the produc- tion did not come up to the standard that it is our endeavor to maintain at Notre Dame. A production of this kind is so big, its scope is so broad, that it is hard to get results unless the stage director be absolutely acquainted with all of those little things, which may be brought to bear to hide the weakness of the actors and which add materially to the production. This art was lacking in Macbeth and although the players worked hard to bring out the proper effect of their lines, the action dragged and the production as a whole was unsatisfactory. Mr. Sorg as .Macbeth did yeoman service in this difficult part. He is not built for the part and his work was an uphill climb, but he brought out his situations in excellent style, nevertheless, and for that he deserves much credit. As Lady Macbeth, Leo McElroy achieved the triumph of his career. In this role his work was so far above the general character of the production that it produced a telling effect. He read his lines remarkably well and acted with all the finish of a professional. i he other members of the cast were only fair and some of them even fell below that mark.

The theory of oratory is assigned cfue prominence in the curriculum of liberal study, a certain amount ol actual prac- tice is insisted upon, and very much more is effectively encouraged. Last year there were about two hundred speeches delivered by students of the University on a single subject. The work accom- plished this year has been as extensive as usual, and while there was no feat that might be termed brilliant in all respects, we venture to say that the general average of excellence has not been surpassed at any institution in the country with which fair comparison might be made. The aim and effort is to develop speakers who can say something with due eloquence. Sound thought, genuine oratorical expression, naturalness, grace of action and quality of voice are prized in order and proportion. The first notable event of the year was the Varsity contest for the Breen Medal held in Washington Hall on the Fifth of December. The four candidates who had survived the hard preliminaries, in which the entries were numerous, were Mr. Ignatius E. Mc.Namee and Mr. Richard J. Collentme, of the Senior classics, Mr. George J. Finnegan, of Junior letters and Mr. Francis J. Wenninger, of Sophomore letters. A very close contest had been anticipated, and in the judgment of many after the event it was deemed much closer than the markings indicated. First place was awarded to Mr. McNamee by a margin of ten points over Messrs. Collentine and Wenninger, who were given a tie for second place. The winning speech on the subject, Child Labor was obviously the best composition of the four, and the delivery of it, while not as flexible as that shown by some of the other speakers, was distinguished by a sincerity and a naturalness which are always capital and winning qualities in oratorical effort. Mr. Collentine exhibited a rare ease and grace in speaking. He has a tendency, however, to overstrain his argument with injury to the convincing power of his appeal. Mr. Finnigan delivered an earnest and forceful speech in a manner that bespoke great possibilities. For quality of voice and power in delivery, Mr. Wenninger is, perhaps, the best of our student orators. With another year or so of development in thought and style it is expected that he will make a strong bid for the interstate honors. The contest as a whole was of standard quality, and we may hope to hear of the achievements of all these men in the years to come. Every year the speaker who takes first place m the Breen Medal competition represents the University in the Indiana State Oratorical Contest, the winner of which then represents the State in the big Inter-State Contest held annually in the latter part of May. As a consequence, Lincoln Centennial Day, Febru- ary 12, 1909, was signalized for us by a clear victory over six other Indiana colleges in the contest at Indianapolis. After the local oratoricals, Mr. McNamee revised his speech on Child Labor , improving his delivery very much, with the result that he was assigned by the three judges on composition, two firsts and a second, and by the three on delivery, a first and two seconds, a total of nine points from a possible minimum of SIX, and a lead of seven points over the competitor from Earl- ham College, who received second place. This easy triumph came somewhat as a surprise, because our representative had at the time just recovered from an illness which prevented much of the training usually undertaken. We regret that our account must go to press too early to record the re- sult of the interstate event, which will take place at Lawrence University, Appleton, Wisconsin, on the Twenty-first of May. We may safely predict, however, that in matter of thought and style, at least, the speech by which Notre Dame will be repre- sented will not be surpassed. The Inter- state Oratorical Association, one of the largest of its kind in the country, embraces the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi- gan, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Kan- sas, Nebraska, Iowa and Colorado and the distinction of winning first place is much coveted by each of the m?ny institutions involved m this extensive contest. The honor was taken for Notre Dame in 1907, by Mr. Edward F. OTlynn, Ph. B., ' 07, and we are not rash in hoping that it may come our way again in a few days. Another series of competitions now open every year to N.D. students is that con- ducted by the Interstate Peace Association. The organization includes prominent universities and colleges of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Michigan and Pennsylvania, and has for its object the promotion among students of the world-wide movement toward international peace, with some phase of which 1. E. McNA WINNKK. INHIANA STATF subject every competitor must deal in his oration. Last year, oui first in the Association, Mr. William P. Lennartz, Litt. B., ' 08, carried the State Contest and took second place in the Interstate. Five speakers entered in the local competition this year to deter- mine upon a representative to the State con- test held the twenty-third of April. Here Mr. Wenninger was given first place, with Mr. Collentine a close second. In the con- test at Purdue Mr. Wenninger tied with the representative from Gcshen College for third honors, Earlham receiving first and Purdue second. Considering the facts that the winner had had several years of profes- sional experience in public speaking and that the Purdue orator was a post-graduate, whereas our representative is only a Sopho- more, our showing was as good as could have been reasonably expected against the odds. It was thought advisable this year to confine the major contests in oratory to the Senior, Junior and Sophomore classes, and for the advantage of all, to arrange a special one for Freshmen, in which the competition might be more even and more encouraging to the first year men. In this contest held in Washington Hall on the eighteenth of March. Mr. William C. Cray, with an oration on Christ, the Master of Men, received first place over two rivals. It is regretable that so few of the large ' 1 2 Class are oratorically inclined. MEE. 09 RATORICAI University Oratorical Contest Washington Hall, Dec. 5, ' 08 Contestants George J. Finnigan, Letters.

Debating HE present year completes our first decade of inter-collegiate debating and the success we have achieved during that period has doubtless exceeded the most optimistic anticipations. Our sixteen teams, which contested against teams of other schools have scored fifteen clean victories, and the rivals were not unworthy of our steel. Five times we have received a unanimous decision. TTie institutions which have felt the force of the N. D. argument are Indianapolis University, the Illinois College of Law, Oberlin College, DePauw University, Iowa State and Georgetown University. To all who were contemporary w-ith them in student life at Notre Dame the names of such men as F. E. Hering, B. V. Kanaley, G. A. Farabaugh, W. A. Bolger and W. J. Donahue inevitably recall their prestige in inter-collegiate debate. It is only to be regretted that they did not have the opportunity of more difficult competition which might have afforded a better measure of their strength, even though it had spoiled the integrity of a long-unbroken record of triumph. Our process of selecting a team and then fitting it for the fray is as thorough-going as could well be desired. The debaters are expected to fight their own battles by offering their own thoughts in their own expression, but they are given all possible assist- ance. A special library is collected on the subject in question and resort is had to the possible sources of personal information. The competition for places on the varsity team is open to Senior, Junior and Sophomore students of all courses. The candidates are reduced to the three men composing the team by a process of elimination in a series of preliminaries. The survival of the fittest is the principle of selection and only the deep thinker and hard worker can come out of the scrimmage alive. Members of the faculty serve as judges in the preliminaries, with the exception of the final one in which experts from outside the University are engaged to decide. This year the main task in debate was to break in our favor the tie standing between Notre Dame and Georgetown University. In 1906 the Notre Dame team, composed of P. M. Malloy, ' 07; T. B. Cosgrove, ' 07, and G. A. Farabaugh, ' 06, received a unanimous decision over Georgetown on the question of compulsory arbitration between Labor and Capital. George- town revenged herself last year by winning at Notre Dame a two-to-one decision on the subject of Federal incorporation. Hence in both schools this time it was well understood from the start that only the best efforts could win the day. In the final competition for places on the Notre Dame team Mr. Francis C. Walker, Law, ' 09, was awarded first; Mr. Richard J. Collentine, Classics, ' 09, second; and Messrs. John B. McMahon and John B. Kanaley, both of Classics, ' 09, a tie for third. Mr. Collentine later deferred his position in favor of Messrs. McMahon and Kanaley. Father William A. Maloney, C. S. C, assumed the task of training the team, and his relentless effort to develop a trio of strong debaters was a great factor in the success achieved. Georgetown submitted the question, Resolved that legislation should be enacted under which all National banks shall be required to establish a guarantee fund for the prompt payment of depositors of any insolvent National bank, such fund and administration thereof to be under the control of the Federal Government. Notre Dame chose to support the negative side. This question was perhaps the most difficult as well as the most debatable one that could have been selected, as the problem involved has long engrossed the best financial minds of the country. After the tinal preliminary, however, the debaters-elect set to work with a determination to go to the bottom of the difficulty, and from all reports it appears that they must have reached it as nearly as college students could. After months of preparation, the rival forces met in Gaston Hall, at Georgetown University on the evening of April 21st, before an eager audience — patrons of the Blue and Gray, a pa- triotic contingent of Notre Dame supporters, and many who were deeply interested in this in- tellectual clash between the two great Catholic schools. John F. Crosby, ' 12, of Georgetown, led off m a lively speech indicating the quality of what was to come; Walker opened the argu- ment for Notre Dame. Spiller, for George- town; McMahon, for Notre Dame; O ' Mara, for Georgetown and Kanaley, for Notre Dame in succession handled the issues with vigorous dexterity. For an hour and a half the carefully-wrought bolts were flung back and forth with no very apparent advantage to either side. Then followed the spirited rebuttals, in which emergencies had to be met as they arose. KICHAKD J. Alternate. Var,.; This portion of the conflict was a splendid fight, but the resource- fulness,, readiness and sureness of the Notre Dame speakers scored heavily, and at the close a quick decision of two to one was announced for Notre Dame. The debate was declared to be one of the most brilliant affairs of the kind ever held in Washington, D. C. Both sides showed a good measure of the eloquence proper to debate, though it seems to have been generally agreed that the Notre Dame men evinced a superior knowledge of the sub- ject. This year ' s trio was one of the best bal- anced teams ever turned out at Notre Dame Frank Walker showed himself a strong, clear- headed thinker, polished in delivery, precise in presentation — just the kind of all-around man needed for starting the action. John McMahon, whose forte is expository work, made a cham- pion for the position of second speaker, while Kanaley distinguished himself for sure, hard- hitting in the heat of battle. We lose all three of these men this year by graduation, which rather clouds the prospect, but this is not the first time that we have been m such a predica- ment and emerged safely with new champions to take the laurels. We are glad to note that this year has seen a revival of interest in debating work among the students of Law. As a consequence our seventeenth inter-coUegiate contest is now pend- ing between our Law School team and that of the Detroit Law School, to be held in Detroit on the twenty-eighth of May. The COLLENTINE ty Debatinp- Team question of Guarantee of Bank Deposits is the matter of disagreement in this case also, with Notre Dame on the affirmative. The candidates for positions were numerous and the fight a spirited one. Frank Walker again established his right to leadership, with Paul J. Donovan and James Deery as first and second mates. Holy Cross Hall repeated its triumph of las ' year in again capturing the championship honors in Inter-Hall debate, by defeating the team of Corby Hall in the final contest. The winners were W. F. Minnick, B. F. O ' Brien and C. J. Donovan, all Freshmen. While some good work was shown by FRANK C. Leader. Varsit ,I(IHN E. KANALEY Varsity Debating Toam individual par- ticipants, there was not quite spirit enough in the contest for honors to bring the general excel- lence up to the standard of for- mer years. Participation in debate, whe- ther one succeeds in getting on a representative team or not. is an opportunity which no student can afford to neglect. Exercise in this line tends to develop certain qualities of thought and manner which are not easily acquired in other kinds of work. The most valuable of these are the directness and definiteness which are so indispensable in any sort of scien- tific treatment. Notre Dame has been most suc- cessful in winning contests as well as developing finished debaters. The men who have represent- ed Noire Dame in debate have continued their progress, and bear evidence to the efficiency, thoroughness and sincerity of the system, and training which they received. A professor of Missouri University a .short time ago delivered himself to the effect that Our present system of college and inter-collegiate de- bating is unworthy of university men, artificial, in- sincere and in the last analy- WAI.KEU Debatinn Te; Sis immoral. observing fur- ther that Its aim is the winning of competitions rather than the estab- lishment of truth. We do not know upon how wide an observa- tion this conclusion is based. It IS easy to understand the possibil- ity, even the liability of such abuse. Where such conditions exist the practice of debate should be either reformed or abolished, but we do not believe that it in any way obtains in the debating work at Notre Dame. JOHN B.

Q-BRIEN HOLY CROSS FRESHMAN DEBATING TEAM CORNELIUS J. DONOVAN WILLIAM F. MINNICK FREDERICK W. CARROLL Ecclesiastics F the many impressions a visitor to Notre Dame receives, the most vivid and lasting is that of its ecclesiastical solemn- ities, particularly if he chances to be present on an important feast day. The varied and soul-stirring ceremonies which can be carried out in full only with the requisite surroundings, cannot but inspire. Our ecclesiastical pro- gram at Notre Dame during the entire year is elaborate; from the time the great organ peals forth for the opening mass to Baccalaureate Sunday it is interesting and instructive. Even the celebration of high mass on ordinary Sundays contains much that is significant. A moment after all the Halls are assembled, each in its allotted section, a long proces sion is seen to move from the vestry, headed by cross-bearers and followed in turn by acolyted seminarians, and priests. To one who looks upon this Sunday after Sunday it must grow common-place; to the chance visitor, however, the one best calculated to judge of its impressiveness, the spectacle is both unusual and awe-inspiring, no matter what his creed may be. Among the art treasures that enrich Sacred Heart church the altar is most interesting. It came direct from Italy, having been secured there by Father Sorin. The bronze of which it is made was cut and burnished under the master hand of Vinchetti, one of Italy ' s famous metal workers. On reaching the United States it came to the notice of the Philadelphia Centennial Commissioners and so much was it admired that the Congregation of Holy Cress was besought to allow it to be placed on exhibition, which request was granted. One of the remunerations was exemption from the high duty which an article so valuable would ordinarily be taxed. The altar as it stands is reached by five steps; it is patterned along liberal Gothic lines, and is based in a general way upon the style of a famous altar in St. Mark ' s Cathedral, Venice. It is so con- structed that Mass can be celebrated and assisted at from either side. The altar was ' priv- ileged by Pope Pius IX; who bestowed such extraordinary favors upon it that Father Sorin, to whom they were given, was forbidden to have them committed to writing; as a result, their nature is not very widely known. In accordance with the wishes of the Holy Father, there has been a gradual change in church music here during the past few years. To discard operatic music, a modified form of which was form.erly in vogue at the University, is by no means an easy task, for the difference between it and plain chant is wide indeed. To revolutionize our system of church music, and, to accept the plain chant is difficult, particularly because the latter has not been tried long enougii REV. W. R, CONNOR in this country. Lack of acquaintance with it, renders it hard for us Americans to do the system justice, to reveal to ourselves the beauties which it undoubtedly possesses, and to satisfy our artistic taste. Yet its characteristic qualities of uniformity and solemnity render it ideal for divine service, and most conducive to devotion. Progress has been made at Notre Dame by those engaged in teaching it and many of the difficulties have been overcome, although plain chant is still in its infancy. Several local choirs are daily receiving training in Holy Cross and Dujarie Halls, and in the Novitiate. They are being taught under the direction of the Very Reverend Gilbert Franca is and Brother George, both of whom possess a wide knowledge of Gregorian music. Any one who heard the splendid rendition of Vespers in four parts on Easter Sunday can realize in a measure the possibilities of plain chant and the work that our venerable director is accomplishing in training the varsity choir to produce this more difficult music. The e.xtraordmary services of the current year w ' ere more numerous and probably more elaborate than usual. Ascension Tliursday, May 28, 1908, was chosen as is customary each Sprmg, for the admin- istration of Confirmation and the reception of First Holy Communion. The day was opened with solemn high mass at which about forty minims and Carrollites, among whom were a large number of Latin- American students, approached the holy table for the first time. Confirmation was administered in the afternoon and after the ceremony the Right Reverend Bishop Alerding, of Fort Wayne, delivered a very lengthy exposition and refutation of modernism. A few days previous, on May 24th, the Silver Jubilee of the Rev. James J. French, rector of the Holy Cross Seminary, was celebrated by the members of his Hall. The occasion brought together a number of the older religious, with whom the Reverend Father had been associated both as a fellow-subject and as a postulant. A banquet was served at noon, after which Father Mornssey read a dispatch from the Pope, conferring on Father French the papal blessing. In the evening the Seminarians presented the Irish drama Coom na Goppel. During the scholastic year there have been few pontifical masses, due chiefly to the brief stays of the several dignitaries who visited us. The most welcome of these visitors, both because of the acquain- tanceship he established in addresses delivered to different halls, and, because of the distance from which he came, was Archbishop Kelley, Coadjutor Archbishop of Sydney, .Australia. He spent several days looking over the grounds and buildings of the University and examining into our American educational system with a view to the improvement of schools in his own province. Archbishop Blenk, of New Orleans, was a guest of a few daj ' s on his return from the Missionary Congress held in Chicago last November. He gave some reminiscences of Porto Rico, where he was sent as bishop shortly after the American occu- pation, moralized upon conditions as he saw them there and concluded by paying high tribute to Notre , MR. A. H. KEYS Uame s sons whom he met on the Island. Assisunt Master of ceremuni«a The most notable ecclesiastical event of the year, however, the one which above all makes the summer of 1908 memorable at Notre Dame, was the convention of the E.u- charistic League. The heirarchy from all sections of the country were well represented and from East, West, North and South, scores of priests flocked to what is coming to be one of the most important clerical gatherings in the land. At this meeting there numbered an archbishop and seven bishops, in addition to a large number of lesser dignitaries and priests. Notre Dame feels honored that the conveniences she has to offer and her surroundings can in some degree help so noble a cause. That her hospitality was acceptable is shown by an account of the meeting which we quote in part from Emmanuel, the official organ of the Eucharistic League: — Notre Dame, Indiana, is an enchanting spot for a University. On the banks of the beautiful St. Mary ' s Lake rises a cluster of magnificent buildings dedicated to the cause of religion and science. From the early founders down to the present day, men of erudition have graced its professorial chairs and form a galaxy of consecrated genius and sanctity. The bright coronet that corruscates like a halo around the statue of Our Lady, and the resplendent crescent on which rest the blessed feet of the Divine Protectoress, betoken the light of learning and the influence of Catholic piety which have made this Western Athen- aeum illustrious far and wide. The University is the lasting monument that blazons the memory of Fathers Sorin, Corby and Zahm. How proud are the sons of their famous for- bears in Christ, is manifest in the men who preside over this Alma Mater — the busy editor „ , J u ' ' ' ' . , ' i -, of the Ave Maria, Father Hudson, and the genial paternal superior. Father Cavanaugh. Holy Thursday. April S. Oi) o i- i Amid these classic shades and surroundings there met on July 28, 29 and 30, 1908, the national convention of the Priest ' s Eucharistic League. The heirarchy and distinguished priesthood of the United States were well represented, notwithstanding the vacation calls of forest, lake and seaside to come and enjoy their charm, freshness and cool airs, and most of all, the temptation to witness the pomp and circumstance of the consecration of Father Rhode as auxiliary bishop of Chicago. Among the members gathered were representatives from nearly all the dioceses in the United States. From far East to far West; from Wisconsin on the North, to Louisiana and Mississippi on the South, there were priests come to Notre Dame, all afire with love and zeal for Our Lord in the Blessed Eucharist, all spurred with the noble resolve of translating into parish and diocesan life the practice of the Holy Hour ' s devotion and the frequent and daily reception by the faithful of the Bread of Angels, the ' antidote to Sin ' , as the Tridentine Fathers term Holy Communion.

Particularly is this so m the art development, for the success or failure of the book depends largely upon the amount of originality and technique displayed in its pictures. First among our artists we must mention Professor Worden, whose generous assistance was invaluable to this book, as it has been to each of the preceding ones. Worden possesses a wealth of ideas and much wit in execution. There is a roughness about his pen sketches which gives them a cartoon effect and leaves the im- pression that he makes little or no conscious effort to attain results. John Wrobel is something of a find. He has been attending the U. for several years, but his superior ability was not gener- ally recognized until this semester. There is a rich sense of humor in his work and at cartooning facts he is especially good, certainly the best we have. His wash drawings have something of exactness and snappy precision about them, which make up two of his best recommendations. James F. Hagerty is a new arrival, a Sophomore in Architecture, whose illustrations are bound some day to draw popu- larity. Unlike Wrobel, his rest results are obtained in pen-drawings; washes seem to be too indefinite for his style of work, for it is clear cut, sharp and carries a certain reckless abandon that cannot be obtained in wash work. John Eckert, our friend from Berlin, has certainly the most artistic appreciation of all our local illustrators, though his execution is probably not quite so good as Wroble ' s. Eckert confines himself to wash and oil painting, and it will be noticed that his work bears more carefulness of detail than that of any of the others. Lang has worked on the Dome for the past two years and each season finds him much improved. His work is confined chiefly to line drawings, at which he has grown quite proficient. He is probably more prolific than any other artist in the University. Theodore Mayer is a new man, as yet practically untried, though his work gives promise of good results after some training.

So our good old Gold and Blue Waves all peerless as it heads the Hoosier Varsities procession. WIDE athletic experience and marked executive ability are the factors which won for Harry Curtis such pronounced success in his career as manager. He has starred on both the gridiron and the diamond and knows college athletics from every angle. When Curtis assumed his duties in September he was confronted with a trying situation owing to the fact that but one game, that with Michigan, had been secured on the football schedule. He immediately started to work, and when it is taken into consideration that four big games were hst- ed he is deserving of much credit. Every effort was made to better the schedule of home games but proved unsuccessful owing to the late start in the negotiations. The baseball schedule, while not as heavy as that of last year, contained several strong attractions, including four games with Michigan, and in general, the list was satisfactory. It is to be hoped that Curtis will direct athletic affairs again next year, but if he decides not to return, his successor will find his task much easier owing to Curtis ' foresight in already having carded many of the contests for the coming season. Curtis lea es in June to join the New York Giants with whom he signed at the close of the Varsity season in ' 07. F.A WOOD assisted Curtis in running affairs, and made good from the start. He had sole charge of the track and basketball departments and prepared schedules of unusual merit. Probably the most noteworthy result of his efforts was the arrangement of South- ern and Eastern trips for the basketball team on which the fastest quintets of those sections were met and defeated. The State chan pionship was wrested from Wabash by the Varsity five, and the season ' s record was remarkable in every respect. If the schedule of home games in football was somewhat lacking, Woodie more than made up the deficiency in track by securing meets here with Indiana, Wabash, and Chicago Athletic Club. Wood graduates in law this year and will probably not return. N. D. Oh N. D. boy you ' re awful nice, You always make a hit. But don ' t you think your past success. Has made you think you ' re it ?

Games won 20; lost 2. 08 on the Diamond T was the best ever — that summarizes the season of ' 08. Not only did the varsity annex the State honors and establish a vahd claim to the Western championship, but they invaded the East and returned triumphant with a list of six victories and but one defeat. Although the Western schedule was necessarily shortened by the addition of the Eastern games, still the class of ball played and a study of comparative scores demonstrated the superiority of the team over any of previous years. A new departure was inaugurated in the coaching line which will prob- ably become a permanent feature at the University. Heretofore, some professional coach was se- cured to instruct the team in the gym. before going out of doors, but last year the coach remained with the squad throughout the season and directed the plays from the bench. Harry Curtis, the 07 varsity catcher, was selected by the athletic board to teach the men the fine points of the game, and that his e.xperience and able direction contributed much to the success of the team is attested by his engagement as coach again this year. In the West Notre Dame went through the season without a defeat, winning fifteen games, six of which were shut-outs. The conquest of the East was largely accomplished by the superb work of Dubuc and Scanlan, who alternated on the mound. Before their bewildering assortment of offerings, Syracuse, Williams, Dartmouth, Fordham, Boston College, and Georgetown, representing the cream of the East, proved helpless; and the lone defeat registered by Vermont was a victory for the umpire rather than the opposing team. The Alumni game, in which the lamented Mike Powers, ' 98, caught for the Old Boys, brought the only defeat on Cartier Field to the champions. The team this year has made a promising start, but the stars of 08 may rest assured that, if their successors equal or even approach the mark set last year. Alma Mater will be content. COACH GURUS JOHN McKEE {Center Fielder). McKee was perhaps the headiest ball- player on the squad, but injuries kept him out of the game most of the time and his playing suffered in consequence. He was fast both in the field and on the bases, could bat from either side of the plate, and played inside ' baseball all the time. He knew what to do at the right time and always did it. McKee was elected captain for this year. Hit 175. Fielded 1000. «n:i •I JOHN BROGAN (llwd Baseman). On the roll of Notre Dame ' s leaders the name of John Brogan is writ high. A heady player, hard worker, and clean sportsman, he set an example to the team which was one of the forces in the success of the year. Although his fielding suffered through a willingness to take every chance, he pulled up several notches in batting over the year previous, and, all in all, ranks with the best third-sackers we have ever had. He hit over 300 on the Eastern trip, fielded in grand style, and was on the job every minute. Brog was graduated m law last year. Hit 270. Fielded 833. DOUGLAS BONHAM (Left Fielder). Bonnie ended his diamond career at N. D. last year, having played his full three years on the varsity. Although his aver ages fell be- low those of the year previous, he was on hand when needed, and his heady work shone forth in many a pinch. He could play any position on the team acceptably. Hit 186. Fielded 700. BERNARD DANILLS {Pint Baseman). Daniels, the man with the big stick and the big laugh, was in the spot-light from start to finish. He won the gold medal for the man with the highest batting average, and alfo led the infielders in fielding. Not only did he know- how to get on the bases, but was the fastest man on the team in getting around after once landing. It was his first year on the team. Hit 386. Fielded 985. RA ' SCANLAN (Catcher). Dike alternated with McDonough at the receiving end, and his work was all to the good. He possesses a fine arm, is a consistent hitter, and uses his head every minute. His speed on the sacks resulted in a big total of stolen bases to his credit, and he was always alert to take advantage of the slightest opening. Hit 279. Fielded 943. JOHN DUBUC (Pikbcr). Chauncey went with Cincinnati at the close of the season, and immediately made good, as everyone who saw him perform last year ex- pected he would. XX ' ithout doubt he was one of the most brilliant college pitchers in the country, a fact which is largely responsible for the var- sity ' s phenomenal showing. When not pitching he was usually played in the field because of his hitting abilities, and many a victory was due to his work with the hickory. Hit 308. Fielded 894. FRANK. SCANLAN {Pitcher). Dreamy shared the pitching laurels with Dubuc, and a more classy pair couldn ' t be found in college ranks last year. He has all the necessaries, speed, control, and a good head, which he uses on all occasions. Not a defeat was recorded against him in any contest in which he pitched the entire game. He has already re- ceived scores of offers from big league teams, but will finish his college course before joining the professional ranks. Hit 288. Fielded 931. EDWARD Mcdonough {Caidu-r). Unlike other years, the Varsity had two catchers of about equal calibre in McDonough and Scanlan, and it made little difference which one worked — both were equally good. Mac played the game from start to finish, was deadly in his pegging to bases, and was on hand with the stick when needed. It was his first year. Hit 279. Fielded 971. ULRIC RUELL (Shorisiop). Foot tagged Daniels all year in the batting line, and finished a close second with the remarkable average of 353. He was fast on the field and on the bases, tried for every- thing, and usually got what he went after. He won the Fordham game with a home run in right field, scoring the only two runs of the day ; his work in the other games was always a feature. Hit 353. Fielded 902. GEORGE CUTSHAW (Second Baseman). Breaking up games with timely hits was a conspicuous specialty of Cutshaw ' s. He snatched the Indiana game out of the Rre by his phenomenal stick-work, and he always hit when hits counted runs. He smothered every- thing around second, and in general ability is entitled to a high place with any of the stars of other years. He did not return. Hit 314. Fielded 933. WILLIAM R AN (Pikhcr). With Dubuc and Scanlan working in superb form, Ryan had but little chance to per- form on the mound, but whenever called upon responded with the goods. Fine control, fair speed, and a well-mastered spit-ball were what kept his opponents guessing. Hit 286. Fielded 1000. CARL CENTLIVRE (Right Fielder). Centliver was an Inter-hall star who made good in the Varsity ranks. He played in nearly every game and not only finished the season with a perfect fielding average, but was among the top-nolchers in the hitting department. It was his first year on the team but he did not return. Hit 303. Fielded 1000. r KV f WENDELL PHILLIPS (Pitcher). Owing lo the supply of pitchers, Phillips was used but little in the box. but his fielding and hitting abilities made him a valuable man in the outfield where he played most of the time. He covered lots of ground, had a good arm. and was a good man in every way. Hit 333. Fielded 1000. COE McKENNA (Utilil], man). McHenna was seen at short and third in several games, and although somewhat weak with the stick he was a fast fielder and did some good work. It was his first year and he would have made a strong bid for the regulars had he returned. Hit 134. Fielded 1000. ' 08 on the Gridiron OACH PLACE came to Notre Dame with the reputation of being a great coach, and he left with that reputation strength- ened and enhanced. Compelled by injuries and other circumstances to develop practically two teams, he worked his t i,iP material to the best advantage, and the results achieved testify how well he succeeded. For the second time smce Notre Dame assumed prominence on the western gridiron its goal-line remained uncrossed until the end of the season, and the credit must go to Coach Place. He did not teach his men a bewildering variety of plays, but in those used he built up a concentrated offense that was irresistible, and a defense that proved impregnable before the fiercest onslaughts of the enemy. It is no exaggeration to say that, with perhaps one exception. Notre Dame this year had the strongest defensive team in her history, and certainly the best all-around team since the introduction of the new style of play. Place had every man in every play, and always with the ball, and it was this co-operative style of play that won such laurels for the Gold and Blue. Above all he taught a clean game, and let it be said to the credit of the men on the squad that his instructions in that line were faithfully carried out to the end. Coach Place was popular with the men, had their respect and co-operation which went far towards making the season a great success. Coach Place was ably assisted by Joe Lantry, whose general knowledge of football, especially in the back-field department, proved a valuable asset to the team. Like Place, he won his spurs under the old game, but quickly mas- tered the new, and many a helpful suggestion was the result. He had charge of the Scrubs the entire season, and the many hard tussles they gave the varsity and the number of men who finally won berths on the regulars speak well for his ability. In addition to his wide knowledge of the game he possessed the confidence of the men, and had the faculty of communicating his own enthusiasm and spirit to those under him, which is one of the prime requisites of a successful coach. He worked hard, achieved results, and for that is entitled to a share in the gridiron honors of ' 08. ASST COACH LANTRY COACH I ' LACE The Scores of ' 08 Notre Dame 39; Hillsdale 0.

THE VARSITY •08. CAPT. MILLER (Half Back). Miller started the season at center at which position he won a berth on the All-Indiana team last year, but he was shifted to his old place at left after the Michigan game and proved his versatility by again landing on the All-State aggrega- •■as seen at his best in the Indiana game, his brilliant end-runs laaging the spot light most of the time. The bulk of nd he was always there with the toe when occasion irn. HOWARD EDWARDS {Tackle, Fullback, Guard). Edwards was the utility man of the squad, and made if good wherever placed. He started in at tackle but took Vaughan ' s place at full in the Indiana game, and although it was his first appearance behind the line he put up a strong game, the defensive. In the final games he worked at guard and englh to the middle of the line. It was his first year on the ' I lead the forces next year as captain. A faithful trainer, d hard worker, he should make a capable chief. ALBERT MERTES (Cento). Mertes was the lightest man on the line but had no difficulty in holding his own against every man he met this year. Although not spectacular his work is of the steady consistent kind that wins games, and his rare judgment in passing often saved us penalties for offside. His best work was done in the Indiana game. He is strong on defense, a dependable player and a faithful trainer, and these qualities more than compesated for whatever he lacked in weight. Mertes finishes this year. ROBERT VAUGHAN {Fullback). Nol since the days of Salmon has the Varsity had a man who m all-round ability could measure up to Vaughan. His terrific line plunges, remindful only of the famed leader of 03, were irresistable, and his skill in handling the forward pass yielded many a long gain to the Varsity. Pete was enrolled among the gridiron immortals at N. D. when he registered her first touchdown against Michigan by making thirty-five yards on a spectacular line play off tackle. He was also the man behind in the Wabash and Marquette games, and by his general showing bids fair to become one of the best fullbacks in the west. DONALD HAMILTON {Quanerhack) ■ In calling numbers and all-round playing Hamilton was the peer of any quarterback that ever directed a team of the ' Gold and Blue. His work in returning punts and circling the |HP ends on quarterback runs was one of the real sensations of the year. His e.xhibition at Michigan was especially brilliant. Although barred from the Indiana game by the freshmen rule he clinched the State Champion- ship for the Varsity by scoring all the points against Wabash on two place kicks from the field. He will be back. H SAM DOLAN (Tac f e, Cua; J). B The husky Oregonian hit his oldtime stride again this , J0w year, and without detracting from the merits of the other men m it must be admitted that when it came to brilliant and consistent playing he had a shade on them all. His work in the Michigan and Indiana games was little short of phenomenal, and in the other contests his playing was always of the head-line variety. He was the unanimous choice of the critics for tackle on the All-Indiana team. Rosie will handle the tackle position again next year. LUKE KELLY {Tacl(le). Kolly was the find of the season. Ability to keep with the ball, speed, and headwork were his heavy points. Not only was he strong in tipping over the plays directed against him, but his speed and shiftiness made him equally formidable on the offensive, and he was always Johnnie on when it came to getting down under punts. He gave the best that was in him, never saying a word, but on the job from the kick-off. Kel recovered more fumbles than any other man on the squad, due to his speed and alertness. He will take care of things again next year. PETER DWYER (Halfback, Quarterback). Probably no man on the squad had a more thorough knowledge of football than Dwyer. At halfback he shone by his brilliant defensive work, his tackling engaging the spot-light in nearly every game in which he participated, and his value at rested upon the fact that he knew what to do and did it at the right Pete played the game from the whistle, never saved himself, but every play, and it was this fearlessness that brought him. so many He was another first year man. PAUL McDonald (Halfback). On the offensive McDonald was unquestionably one of the fastest backs that ever crossed the chalk-marks for Notre Dame. His flashy end runs were to the fore in every game, and his all-around work was of the kind that has the crowd on its feet most of the time. In the Michigan game he clipped off an eighty-five yard run for a touchdown, but was called back for stepping out of bounds. He turned the tide against Marquette on Thanksgiving Day by his sensational work in the second half, and was certainly one of the big guns in Notre Dame ' s Flying Squadron. ULRIC RUELL (Halfback). Foot showed class from the start. In three big games of the season, Michigan, Indiana and Marquette, his work might well be styled phenomenal, for his dazzlmg return of punts and spectacular tackling were outstanding features of eve ry fray. He has all the requisites for a halfback, build, weight, and speed, plays a hard game every minute, and in another year ought to become one of the best half- backs in the West. He was unanimously chosen for the All-Indiana team. LEE MATTHEWS (End). Matthews did not strike his gait at the beginning of the year but after he got going he more than held his own against all comers. His first big game was against Michigan, and his work in the second period was a woe-producer for the Wolverines. He was not at his best against Wabash, but returned to form in the final tilt with Marquette and put up a star exhibition. Skill in getting through the interference, and deadly tackling ability marked his work at the terminal point and made him a valuable man. THOMAS SULLIVAN (Center). Big in body and cool in head, Tom developed into a star performer at the pivot point. After trying out at tackle and guard he was shifted to center and when he got working right, things were kept stirring around the middle of the line. His accurate passing contributed much to the success of the punting. He was also one of the side-liners at the Indiana game owing to the Freshman rule, but he proved his mettle in the clash with Wabash. With Sullivan back the prospects for center look bright. RALPH DIMMICK {Tackle). Dim was another first year man, and when it is said that he and Dolan worked on the right side of the defense our uncrossed goal-lme is partially explained. He was always there to help along the man with the ball, and could open up a life- sized gap when the play was directed his way. His playing at the end of the season was somewhat affected by injuries, but his work in the Michigan and Wabash games stamped him as one of the most dependable line-men in the state. JOSEPH COLLINS {End). When Coach Place shifted Collins from the backfield to end he picked the right man for the right place. His early- season form was somewhat of a disappointment, but when he was given a chance in the Wabash game he made good without trouble. His tackling and all-round work proved a big obstacle to the goal- ward progress of the Little Giants, and his handling of the forward pass added many of the season ' s gains. He is husky and fast and should be a top-notcher next year. GEORGE PHILBROOK {Guard.) Phil was late in reporting, but when he got his two hundred pounds of beef in action he had little difficulty in landing a berth at guard. He smothered every attempt to gain through his territory, and on offense could always be depended upon to carve a hole for the backs to plunge through. Besides being a classy lineman, Philbrook showed promising ability in the punting line and big things are ex- pected of him in the kicking department next year. He looks like one of the mainstays in ' 09. . JOHN DUFFY (Guard). B Duffy came along fast from the start and by steady plug- ' i ging earned a berth on the regulars. His work on the scrubs last year gave promise of better things this season, and he certainly measured up to the mark. His best work was done in the Indiana game in which his strong defensive playing was a big factor on the line. He was a hard and willing worker, always gave the best that was in him. and with the experience gained this year ought to have no trouble in retaining his position ne.xt year. EDWARD LYNCH (Guard). Lynch was shifted from tackle to guard this year and filled the position to a nicety. Although handicapped by an injury to his eyes his playing was marked by the same aggres- siveness and determination that characterized his work last year. His style is not sensational, but of the plugging, consistent kind that contributes so materially to the scoring value of a team. He will help the line out con- siderably next year. JAMES MALONE ' (End).  ] Maloney was the lightest man on the squad, notch- W ' g ' ' is beam at only I 35 pounds, but he used every ounce of it ■ to the best advantage. His work in handling the forward pass in the Indiana game was one of the prettiest exhibitions of the year. He was especially strong on offense, and rarely failed to block his man. On defense he played back for punts and usually returned them for good distance. Taken all in all he was one of the biggest little men that ever fought for the Gold and Blue. FAY WOOD (End). Woody played a star game up to the time he was com- { ' i [jelled to retire from the squad because of a severe injury to his  knee. He played all through the Michigan and Indiana games, and was conspicuous by his brilliant defensive work. In breaking interference he was probably the peer of any man on the squad, and his work in this line wrought deadly havoc with our opponents ' formations. He handled the forward pass with success, and on the offensive always disposed of his man in good shape. It was his second year. KICK-OFF. MICHIGAN-NOTRE DAME GAME OCTOBER 17. -08 Basketball 1 IR predictions voiced last year that the basket ball team of ' 08- ' 09 would rank with the best in the West were not only fulfilled to the letter, but the team established a record which entitles it to a strong bid for the national championship in the college world. The State championship was annexed by two decisive victories over Wabash, which had retained the title for the past five years, and the Southern and Eastern trips convinced the critics that Notre Dame would be a big factor when the national honors were decided. The schedule which was probably as long as that of any team in the country, consisted of forty games, thirty of which were played on trips, and when it is taken into consideration that of this number only seven games were lost, all but one away from home, it is evident that Notre Dame has some basis for its championship claims. None of the seven defeats was registered by college teams, and the only defeat on the home floor by Detroit A. C, was in large part due to the poor condition of the men who had just returned from the long Eastern trip. Coach Maris, who revived the sport with such signal success last year, was again in charge, and the above record speaks for his work. Four of last year ' s team. Captain Scanlan, Freeze, Molony and Fish, were on hand at the start of the season, and the vacancies were soon filled by V ' aughan, McDonald and Gibson, with the result that Notre Dame had a five which in all-around ability and general team-work was easily the best in her history. The season was inaugurated by an overwhelming victory over Lewis Institute on the home court, and after trimming the Marion Club, the team left for a Southern trip during the Christmas vaca- tion, — an innovation which was brought about through the untiring efforts of Manager Wood. Only two games were lost on the trip, one to Central Y. M. C. A., of Chicago, and the other to the famous Muscatine five, both by close scores, and the Southern critics were unanimous in declaring ours the fastest quintet that ever crossed the Mason and Di.xon Line. Upon its return the team played a schedule of nine games with Western teams without sustaining a defeat, and then started on an invasion of the East, another result of Manager Wood ' s endeavors. Four games were losts on the trip, two to the renowned Buffalo Germans, one to the Palestine A. C, of Syracuse, and one to Tiffin, Ohio.; the defeats are accounted for at least in part by injuries to the men, and the telling inconveniences incident to traveling. After coming back the team played four games on the local floor, and closed the season in a fitting manner by routing Wabash 33-24, thus establishing an undisputed claim to the State championship. The season was most suc- cessful from every point of view and as all of the men will probably return we may confidently look for still greater triumphs ne.xt winter. Season ' 08- ' 09. VARSITY FIVE.

To captain a varsity team for two consecutive seasons is an unusual occurrence, but Scanlan ' s record as a hard worker and heady player entitled him to the honor. Dike is a sure passer, an adept at covering, and can be depended upon to break up a play at any minute. Vaughan was the whirlwind of the aggregation, and was declared by the critics to be one of the best centers in the country. Pete knows the game through and through, and has a queer habit of shooting baskets with opponents clinging to him on all sides. In the season he averaged more than twice as many field goals as the centers who opposed him. CHESTER FREEZE (Cuard). The big fellow moved from center to guard this year and, like Scanlan, had everything that a good guard needs. Chet was a good dribbler, handled long throws perfectly, and had a particular mania for breaking up the plays of his opponents. He was elected captain for 10. RAYMOND FISH (ForTvard). Fish made the regulars this year and his work helped out considerably. His long field goals were brilliant and they occurred with amazing fre- quency. Lar was strong on dribbling, shifty on his feel, and a hard man to cover. JUSTIN MOLON ' (Forward). Dud played his second year on the varsity, and his work was Spectacular throughout the season. Lightning fast on his feet, he was a marvel at starting plays, and could pass either right or left-handed. He was easily the best shot on the team. FRANK GIBSON. Gibson took part in nearly every game, and was seldom found wanting. He played the game hard every minute, and his work was marked by speed and the accuracy of his throws. PAUL McDonald (Suh-Cuard). McDonald was a trusty reserve, whose speed made him a valuable man. Although picked for guard, he was often seen at forward, where he could play equally well. Mac ' s strength stood him in good stead, and made him a strong factor in defensive play. B.

The Coach n 1-,RT MARIS, whose splendid work as coach last year resulted in Notre Dame ' s once more assummg pre-eminence in track athletics, succeeded in again turning out a strong team this season and is deserving of much credit for breezing the Gold and Blue from the top of the championship pole. While the varsity squad defeated Indiana and Wabash last year and thereby estab- lished a valid claim to the State indoor championship, the banner was not formally awarded us, as Notre Dame was not represented in the Annual Championship Meet held in Indianapolis under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. In dual meets with the varsity this year Wabash was vanquished, but Indiana emerged triumphant by the narrow margin of two points. Maris ' men later clinched the State laurels, however, by easily capturing the Championship Meet held at Indianapolis under the auspices of the Marion Athletic Club. The year has been most successful, and much of the suc- cess achieved must be ascribed to the capable direction of Coach Mans. He developed a team not only of individual stars, but one which in well-balanced strength ranks favorably with any of former years. Mans has all the requisites for a good coach, and in the two years that he has been at Notre Dame her athletics have been given an impetus which has resulted in victory after victory for the Gold and Blue. He is keenly alive to the interests and needs of the students, is ever alert to adopt progressive measures, and as a result of his endeavors several innovations have been introduced into the athletic curriculum which have rightly been accorded a permanent place among the college activities. Last year he revived basketball at the U., developing a team which lost but four out of sixteen games; the record made this year entitles N. D. to equal rank with any college five in the country. He also introduced cross-country running last year, and the interest manifested assures it a secure place in the athletic program. Classes in boxing and wrestling were added to the regular gymnasium work this year under his direction and met with instant favor on the part of the students. Among his other innovations was a gymnastics drill by the younger students, the first held in years at the U. He was also instrumental in organizing and stimulating interest in the inter-hall teams as a means of bringing out and developing men for the varsity, and the results have been most gratifying. Taken all in all, his two years as Coach and Gym. Instructor have been years of continued success for Notre Dame. It is, therefore, with pleasure that we greet the announcement of his intended return next year. , Review of the Season HE track team continued the championship form displayed last year and brought fresh laurels to the Gold and Blue. The marked impulse given to this branch of athletics in the last two years served to bring out some of the best talent in the State and we can look back to the indoor season just closed as ranking among the most successful in Notre Dame ' s history. The out-door prospects are no less promising and some stellar exhibitions may be expected. The past year has been replete with spectacular work. With a ten-man team the season was inaugurated by a victory at the First Regiment Meet, in Chicago. TTie Indiana meet some weeks later was lost by two points in one of the most exciting tilts of the year. The Cherry Circle team, composed of former college stars, managed to nose out a victory by the scant margin of four points, but the varsity returned to cid-time form in the A. A. U. Championships and, with only six men competing, landed Notre Dame a strong third. Then came the royal wind-up of a brilliant season with a sweeping victory in the Indoor State Championship Meet, held under the auspices of the Marion Club at Indianapolis, April 23rd. The high quality of the sev- eral meets is attested by the records established, some of which set new marks for the local gymnasium. Irons, of the Cherry Circle team, took but one trial in the broad jump event and handily leaped 22 ft. 7 in., breaking the former record by 9 4 inches. At the same meet Philbrook bettered the mark in the shot put by 7 ' 4 inches. In the clash with Indiana, Bonsib, of the Down-Staters, equalled the time of 33 1-5 in the quarter mile, while Fletcher did the forty-yard low hurdles in record time on several occasions and barely missed getting a new mark in the high jump. In addition to his brilliant performance in the A. A. U. Championships, Dana came within one second of the Notre Dame gym. record in the half mile and if forced, would probably have hung up a new figure for the event. To Bill Schmitt fell the honor of the captaincy, and although he was not able to do much indoors owing to injuries, he is back in shape and may be expected to annex his share of outside points. Dana, our whirl- wind miler, remains unconquered. He clearly outran Kincaid, of Purdue, in their special 1000-yard match race at the First Regiment Meet, and in the A. A. U. Championships, the well-named Rabbit easily clipped a few seconds off the Bartlett gym. record held for many years by Lightbody. the former Chicago star. Mo- narty s work ranks him with the classiest performers in this part of the cc-jntry. Of his work in the State Indoor Championships, the Indianapolis Star said, The general opinion prevailed previous to Friday ' s meet that Harry Johnson, of Indiana, was probably the best all-around track athlete in the State, but this idea was dispelled CAPTAliN SCH.M1TT k by the excellent work of Moriarty, who won the pole vault, ran on the relay team, and finished a close second JLr v to the wonderful Shideler, of the Marion Club in the seventy-yard high hurdle race. Fletcher proved the big f find of the year. He worked brilliantly throughout the indoor season, sharing the high-scoring honors with Moriarty. He ran the forty-yard dash consistently in 4-3-5 seconds, and several times cleared the forty-yard , . low hurdles m world ' s record time. Philbrook, another Freshman star, stepped forward with a new gym record y ' W ' in the shot-put, heavmg the pill 42 f t. 9yi inches. John Duffy came along fast during the year and developed ; into a star quarter-miler. His victory over Deming, of Wabash, in the State Indoor Meet, was a feature of j ' K _ l the evening. Due to an accident on the first turn, Big John lost a shoe, but even under such difficulties man- ' aged to upset the dope. Roth showed good form in the broad jump, handily defeating Johnson in the Indiana Meet. Edwards broke in with a victory over Miller of Indiana, in the shot put and should develop into a good ! — ir- man. McDonagh, another two-year man, showed up strong in the high and broad jumps, and should figure prominently in the outdoor work. Of the new men Wasson, Dimmick, Steers, Ben Oliel, Brady and Foley have demonstrated their ability, and can be relied upon when it comes to point winning. Was- ' son showed class in the 1 00 and 200 yard dashes, and in practice Dimmick has already thrown I the hammer many feet beyond the Notre Dame record for that event. i S ' The Cross-Country Club, an innovation introduced by Coach Maris last year, was again in evidence, and the distance men owe much of this year ' s success to the training they I received at his hands. Runs averaging from four to six miles were taken daily and as a ( 1 ■•MIKE MORIARTY wind-up for the season ' s work, an invitation meet was held under Maris ' sponsorship. After a spirited run over the five-mile course, Tillotson, of the Michigan Aggies, finished first. Steers and Graham sec- ond and third respectively, while Meyer and Somervilleof DePauw, followed at close range. The affair was a complete success and gave promise of athletic preeminence to Notre Dame in a new field. The meet with Wabash was a clean-cut victory for N. D., every man on the team coming up to expec- tations. It was to have been an outdoor meet, but bad weather made it necessary to hold the contest indoors. From the first event to the last the superiority of the Gold and Blue athletes was evident, the meet resulting in a victory for N. D. by a score of 69 to 19. A short time later the same performance was repeated, Michigan Aggies being defeated to the tune of 87 to 39. This was the first outdoor meet of the season and was most gratifying in every respect. Philbrook and Dimmick won the weight events easily, Dimmick breaking the State record for the shot-put by heaving the pill 43 feet, ZYz inches. The wind-up of the season was a grand ouccess, and argues well for the prospects for next year.

Inter-Hall Athletics HE interest manifested in Inter-Hall athletics last year was again strongly in evidence and many hard-fought contests were the result. The different halls had teams entered m all the branches of sport, and the race for honors brought out several men who should develop into varsity material. An Inter-Hall Association was perfected early in the year with the following managers representing the halls: James P. Kenefick, Sorm, (President); William E. McGarry, Brownson, (Secretary) ; Carl Pick, Corby, and Elmo Funk, St. Joseph. McGarry was forced to resign at Christmas owing to ill health, and was succeeded by Henry Burdick. Sorin signalized its re-appearance in the Inter-Hall struggle by annexing the baseball title and with it the coveted silken banner donated by Max Adler. Their column showed fourteen victories and one defeat, that handed out by Corby. Fay Wood managed the Sorinites, and Leo Hogan led the forces as captain. TTie football honors remain undecided. Owing to some misunderstanding the schedule was not played as adopted, and as a result the championship was not definitely decided. In a preliminary game which was not on the regular schedule Corby trimmed St. Joe If -5, but in the next tilt St. Joe corralled a 16-15 victory in the hardest-fought battle of the year. Corby ne. t played Brown- son 0-0, but as Brownson and St. Joe did not clash the only way of deciding the gridiron supremacy is by a comparison of scores, which favors the claims of St. Joe. Had the original schedule been carried out by which each hall was compelled to play three games with each of the other halls no difficulty would have been experienced in deciding the championship, but owing to the fact that the teams v ere so evenly matched and only two scheduled games were played, no final award was made by the Athletic Board. Owing to the few games played in which to get a line on the men no attempt is made this year to pick an All-Inter-Hall team. Brownson had little difficulty in capturing the honors in both track and basket ball. Victories over Corby and Sorin, who had previously defeated St. Joe. left no doubt as to Brownson ' s superiority in track, and their decisive triumph over Corby established beyond question their claim to the basket ball title. The struggle for baseball supremacy is again in progress, and as the Dome goes to press it looks as if Corby ' s flag would breeze from the peak when the last man steals home in June. Gymnastics j NOTHER evidence of Director Maris ' zeal was seen in ihe increased interest and enthusiasm displayed this year in gym- nastics and calisthenics. The program was marked by several innovations which served to stimulate interest, and which will undoubtedly become permanent features at the U. Prominent among these might be mentioned boxing, wrestling and gymnastic drills, to which special attention was given and which were attended with most gratifying success. Director Maris had charge of the work in all three departments, and to him much of the credit is due. Special classes in bo.xing and wrestling were organized early in the year, and met with instant favor from the students. Al- though these branches had been indulged in before, not until this season were regular classes organized. A new wrestling mat was added to the equipment and every facility afforded for encouraging the sport. As a fitting climax to the season ' s work. Director Maris held an exhibition in the gym. April 21st, which attested the remark- able progress that had been achieved. The wrestling bouts were the first events on the program and proved highly interesting. The first bout for the heavy-weight honors was held between Howard Edwards and George Attley, and was awarded to Edwards, who secured a fall in 3 minutes and 18 seconds. Frank Binz pocketed the light heavy-weight title by pinning Otto Probst to the mat in 41 seconds. In the welter-weight clash it took 2 minutes and 26 seconds for Edmund Shea to dispose of Thomas Sheehan. The feather-weight bout, the last of the wrestling events, was the prettiest wrestling exhibition of the evening, and went to Warren Sexton, after a struggle with Edmund Bruce of 3 minutes ' duration. The boxing matches followed the wrestling, and consisted of three two-minute rounds with one minute intervals. The light-weight contest was awarded to Harry Duffy over Claude Sack after one round, an injury to Sack ' s wrist preventing a continuation of the bout. W. H. Brady triumphed in the welter-weight tilt, getting the decision over J. P. McCafferty. Owing to some misunderstanding Lee Matthews failed to appear for the light heavy-weight bout, and the event was awarded to Paul McDonald. The feather-weight battle between John Dean and Edwin Lister was easily the most scientific bout of the evening, and as neither of the contestants seemed to have an advantage at the end of the three rounds a fourth was fought, but the tie remained unbroken and the event was declared a draw. The heavy-weight bout between Howard Edwards and Henry Burdick was also declared a draw. Chief-of-Police James McWeeny, of South Bend, refereed the bouts in a most satisfactory manner. The evening ' s program was opened with the first annual marching and calisthenic drill by the Minims to the number of sixty-four, and the ease and precision with which the intricate figures were executed evidenced careful training and preparation. The entire program was one of merit, and the success attained promises well for the future of the work inaugurated this year. MINIMS GYMNASTICS The Death of Michael R. Powers N April 26 there died in Philadelphia one of the truest sons that Notre Dame has mothered in all her long and glorious history, Mike Powers of the class of ' 98. In the lecture-room the quality of his mind was solidity rather than bril- liance and that quality was rapidly winning for him a great multitude of friends in his chosen profession, for Mike Powers was a dignified Doctor of Medicine during the months when he was not receiving behind the bat. He was a very skilled physician, say the Philadelphia papers. His moral character was such as one does not often see in any generation. Perhaps it was because of this that the men of the big league looked upon Powers as something more than a com- rade; his influence over them was almost parental. They played better baseball when he was in the game and they grew in con- scientiousness as they associated with him. It is a significant fact that during the long days when he lay on the borderland, fighting his superb battle with death, the people of Philadelphia demanded and obtained bulletins twice a day from the hospital. Significant, too, was the outpouring of the people of Philadelphia on the night before the funeral and at the funeral itself. Ten thousand sorrowful admirers of Mike Powers walked by the coffin where he lay very silent and peaceful. It was not the enthusiasm of the fans for their favorite; it was the outpouring of a people ' s respect and admiration for a noble citizen. The leading paper of Philadelphia on its editorial page paid Dr. Powers such a tribute as an eminent statesman or an eminent clergyman might well feel proud to deserve. After doing homage to the integrity of his character it declared that it was convincing proof of the nobility of baseball that it was able to draw to itself and hold for itself such a man as Dr. Powers. The Notre Dame Club of Philadelphia was prominent in the funeral arrangements and the Notre Dame Baseball team sent a beautiful floral offering. At the very moment while the solemn chant of the requiem was sung in St. Elizabeth ' s Church in Philadelphia the University — faculty and students — were bowed before the altar in our own exquisite chapel with uplifted hearts and voices, appealing for a gentle judgment upon his soul. Into the sanctuary of a man ' s home one hesitates to enter, but for the sake of edification this at least must be said, that no more affectionate and beautiful home than his was to be met with in all the land. God had blessed him by bestowing upon him the companionship of a noble, high-minded and home-loving woman. Three bright little daughters came to cheer with light and laughter that little home. Now the mother and the little ones remain to mourn and to remember; and when we reflect how grievous was the death of Dr. Powers to those who were but his friends we may guess at the depths of the pain and grief that have come to the children and the mother to whom he was bound by the chains of natural affection. To them the sympathy of every Notre Dame man will go out always, and they will have a share in his prayerful remembrance when he asks, as we hope he often w ' ill ask, peace and rest for the soul of Mike Powers. The Department of Music HE band, orchestra and glee-club have next to athletics perhaps the strongest claim to our interest of all organi- zations at the L ' niversity. To them we are indebted for a large quota of our entertainment, to provide which they give much time and trouble. If a feast day or any other occasion looms up which demands a little more than the ordinary observance, there must needs be music. It adds to the merriment and also to the importance of the celebration. Feelings of jollity and good-fellowship are always heightened under the strains of a lively air, and the spirit and work of the teams are noticeably improved by the presence of the band at athletic games. For all of which we have much reason to be grateful to Professor Petersen and his loyal sons of the noise. As we lounge on the lawn of a Spring evening, however, enjoying their popular airs and watching the blue-coated, cap-cocked- to-one-side boys, who are performing up there on the veranda, we little realize how many hours of practice the concert has cost them. None the less, the musical programmes that have been rendered on Cartier Field, in the gymnasium or in front of the Main Building all represent hours of hard grinding practice. These hours, furthermore, are taken from the recreation period, that being the only time available for extra work. The latter fact brings before the director the difficult task of crowding much new music into a short rehearsal period and therefore places greater strain on the players. Each selection demands its share of rehearsals and much overtime practice is indispensable. But especially does Professor Petersen evidence his skill as a director, and his men their musical ability in their orchestral work with the different plays and programs given in Washington Hall. Tlie rendition of their numbers, which by the way, are always highly popular serves perhaps more than anything else to keep the audience in that happy and kindly frame of mind, so necessary for the success of amateur college theatricals. The promise that the orchestra will perform always acts as a strong drawing card to bring visitors from the city to the productions in Washington Hall, since those who have formerly attended have always car- ried away with them the pleasing recollection of the professional caliber the orchestra has attained. This year the step was taken to develop singing into an important feature of the musical program by the organization of the Glee Club. Singing has always received due attention in former years, but this season Prof. Petersen has put forth special effort to arouse interest in chorus work on a large scale. Considerable success has been achieved, as is evidenced by the large number of singers who have already appeared several times before the public. In their first presentation m Washington Hall and subsequently at St. Patrick ' s Hall, in South Bend, the Glee Club ' s work was highly gratifying and augurs good results for next year, provided interest in it is kept up. It has discovered many good voices in the Halls and has tended to develop them greatly. Given these with co-op- eration and a readiness on the part of possible Plancons to come forward, the coming Minstrel Show, which will be put on the latter part of May, should be a most emphatic success.

MORIARTY INVITATIONS William C. Schmitt Ralph A. Maurer DECORATIONS George E. Attley Laurence M. Sfoakes REFRESHMENTS AND MUSIC Leo J. Cleary Bert E. Daniels Junior Prom. POPULAR innovation was introduced in Notre Dame ' s social functions when the Class of 1909 inaugurated a Junior Prom, for Thanksgiving Eve. The last doubt concerning its establishment as a precedent was banished when campus talk began to center in the 1910 class affair last Fall. Long before the date arrived the dance was looked upon in expectation as the most prominent Notre Dame affair of the pre-holiday season. The Junior Prom, has now become traditional, and will henceforth be placed on the Calendar as the big affair of the Autumn semester. Melville Hall in South Bend this year again provided the scene for the Prom, festivities. The elaborate decorations were greatly enhanced by the architecture of the hall, which is peculiarly adapted to bring out the best possible efforts of the decorators. An immense center-piece of flowers was suspended from the ceiling, under which two large Notre Dame blankets were strung. From the stucco plasters around the center piece, strings of pennants, representing most of the colleges east of the Mississippi, were cleverly arranged to drop under the blankets and the rosette of flowers. Festoons of class colors were dropped from points at regular intervals along the frieze and gathered around the central chandelier, where they formed a maze of color with the streamers of the University, gold and blue, which were sent from this point in all directions to the walls. The color scheme proved an innovation and presented one of the most delightful features of the evening. The use of artificial lily forms for shades on the lights, together with the different-colored globes themselves produced a soft, pleasing effect which the switching on and off of the different colors greatly augmented, producing new color tones for every number on the program and blending delightfully with the many hues of the elaborately-gowned dancers. The decorations throughout were decidedly along the college order, and e.xtensive as they were, yet maintained withal an air of freshness peculiar to student life. Tlie reception room was decorated with palms and ferns, and its cozy corners proved a most popular attraction throughout the evening. The red room, where punch and light refreshments were served, maintained its bid for supremacy during the whole evening and nobody failed to appreciate the joys of a sup and a bite and a word. Prof. Petersen and his coterie of South Bend musicians held the orchestra platform. The Professor ' s work at parties and receptions during the last three years has made his name synonymous with the very best of popular music. His generosity along the line of encores was universally commented upon and his good nature and affable disposition did much to make the evening enjoyable. Alumnae of St. Mary ' s, as well as a number of Notre Dame grads. from outside came to the city to attend the Prom. There were also many other out-of-town guests, who aided greatly in making the affair a grand success. The absence of the varsity football team, occasioned by their Thanksgiving trip to Milwaukee, was thoroughly regretted on all sides. However, the cheerful disposition and well-tempered gayety of the fifty couples in attendance sufficed to balance the absence of the TTianksgiving season heroes. y v:: ,vv, O ■jr- I ... - Senior Ball OLLOWING the long established tradition in social functions at Notre Dame, the Senior Ball was held this year, on Senior Night. It is with modest pride the members of the 09 Class recall their numerous successes in college diversions, and they now point to the Senior Ball as the climax of their endeavors. TTie decorating committee had labored most earnestly in beautifying Place Hall, and on the night of April twelfth the guests were presented with an ornamental labyrinth of the artistic. On two sides of the dance hall large national flags, pennants, college blankets, skins and trophies were tastefully arranged, almost entirely hiding the walls. Completely encircling the ball room, hundreds of college emblems, representing as many schools, vere placed in an unbroken line along the frieze of the arched ceiling and added greatly to the general color scheme. At one end of the hall directly between the main entrances a massive design, representing the class numerals ' 09, was prominently displayed. This artistic device was brilliantly illuminated with numerous gold and blue incan- descents and during certain dances all other lights were extinguished. It produced a most pleasing effect; the soft glow of the gold and blue lights shaded most harmoniously with the back-ground of class colors and shed their subdued rays most effectively on the merry dancers. From a large rosette of gold and blue in the center of the ceiling broad ribbons were delicately festooned to the decorations along the frieze and a novel and successful effect was introduced by building the orchestra platform in the middle of the ball-room. It was trimmed in the University colors, and four great palms with a hundred smaller ones, built up around it, broke the monotonous surface of the polished floor, greatly elaborating the decorations by carrying the suggestion of a tropical conservatory. TTie general color scheme was continued in the red room where cozy corners and enticing nooks tempted the promenaders between dances. A pyramid of ferns, palms and other hot house plants was erected in the center of the floor under a canopy of gold and blue streamers, and in this room punch was poured all through the dance; at the intermission a dainty buffet lunch was served. For honor guests and those who did not care to dance, cards and tables were arranged in the green parlors, which were also nicely embellished with University and Class colors. The programs were in accordance with the clever and artistic sense evinced throughout and harmonized well with the predominant color scheme; in the upper corner of each an N. D. monogram was embossed, and within it the numerals ' 09 were appropriately placed. Despite the stormy April weather something less than three hundred couples responded to the invitation of the music as its first strains re-echoed through the hall. TTiere was probably a larger attendance of alumni and out-of-town visitors than at any previous function of the sort, and from 9:30 until 2 o ' clock the swish and sparkle and glint of elaborate gowns wove a maze of color with the dignified simplicity of the evening dress of the men. Prof. Petersen, director of the varsity band and glee club, arranged an excellent program of classic dances, and his South Bend Symphony Orchestra carried it out most elaborately. THE BALL ROOM.

Stag Parties MONG the most enjoyable, pleasant and profitable recollections of the social season are the entertainments and stag parties given by the various organizations of the U. Nearly every Hall has its literary and debating society which provides enoyment in the way of receptions, musicals and smokers to while away the long winter nights, and in addition the more prominent clubs keep open house now and again for their friends. One of the events of the year was the banquet given the philosophers on the Feast of St. Thomas by Father Crumley. Over eighty students enjoyed the Reverend Professor ' s hospitality, and had a most enjoyable afternoon and evening. TTie philosophers ' banquet is an annual event, observed in honor of the patron of philosophers, and in celebration of the Vice-Presi- dent ' s name-day. The Total Abstinence Society, one of the oldest organizations at the University, has had a most successful year. On February 20th, the Society held a smoker, which was decidedly successful, notwithstanding the fact that not a great many of the members were present. Father Cavanaugh gave one of his interesting short talks. Much advice and encouragement was ban- tered back and forth through the pale blue smoke, and the society adjourned very soberly to meet again to devise means to carry on the good work. Old College, the youngest hall and the oldest building on the campus, blossomed out very early in the scholastic year with a feast. The occasion was Foundation Day, November 27th. Prof. Edwards, at whose suggestion the affair was held, acted as sponsor for the spread, and music was furnished by Nieto ' s Orchestra. So great was the pleasure and enjoyment of the first banquet that an at home ' was given by the Old Collegians on February 22nd. It was a fitting recognition paid to Washington ' s Birthday, again through the generosity and promotion of Professor Edwards. A feature of our college life is the entertainments given by the societies of Brownson Hall. Most of the participants in these enjoyable programs are Freshmen, and they e.xhibit considerable proficiency, both in the musical and literary parts of their performances. New students, who before coming to Notre Dame had to some extent developed their talents for singing and speak- ing, are in these entertainments given opportunities to continue their development, and new material is broken in. The two organ- izations of the hall, the Literary Society and the Glee Club, have existed long enough to prove that they play an important part in the educational scheme of the University. Into these societies all are admitted who are willing to do serious work in the study of music, an, literature and puhHc speaking, and those whose achievements have won high commendation from the directors are chosen tor parts m the public programs which are periodically arranged. Members of the faculty of the University always attend these entertainments, and they do so with pleasure. By their presence they both encourage the young students who have parts in the program and show their appreciation of what Brownson Hall ,s doing for the intellectual development of the U. The President of the University, especially, enjoys these entertainments, and he always takes occasion to address the Hall afterwards. His closing remarks are listened to with keen appreciation, and his words of advice and encouragement are gratefully received. The attendance of the students from the other halls, and especially of former Brown- sonites. gives not a little satisfaction to the boys of Brownson and to their directors, for the friendly and cordial relations existing among the students of the different dormitories is cemented by these reunions. The spirit of good-will so manifest at Notre Dame IS something which the student body and the faculty cannot value too highly. Brownson Hall in giving free entertainments to all the students is doing its share in promoting these harmonious relations. During the Christmas Holidays the footlight stars of Holy Cross Hall came into their own with an excellent presentation of Irving s masterpiece. Rip Van Winkle. Charlie Marshall was easily the pick of the evening, and it is said, he out-ripped old Kip himself. A good sized audience witnessed the production, among them quite a number of professors, stay-overs from the other halls, and a few outside friends. The Literary and Debating Society gave frequent entertainments during the winter months, consisting mostly of forensic displays and elocutionary executions. Holy Cross Hall is not very closely connected with the others on the campus in a social way, but the Sem. freshmen and prep, orators and debaters mix matters quite frequently and creditably with the representatives of the other dormitories. St. Joe Hall. too. has always taken a high place among the dormitories for the uniform excellence of its entertainments On December 4th. the Literary Society acted as host to the Reverend President and faculty. The musical and declamatory numbers were especially strong, and showed how great results can easily be attained by conscientious work. On March 9th the Hall enter- tained m honor of John Corley, the lecturer, formerly a St. Joe Haller. Again on May 13th. the Hall gave a benefit performance, for the Tennis Club, which enlivened the monotony of study nights with one of Brother Florian ' s specials. These affairs are ocular, auricular and gastronomic treats all in one. Therefore, all hail St. Joe. e 9 N B c - Senior Class Dinner Junior Law Class Dinner TOASTMASTER IGNATIUS E.

Hilkert William I. Burke John P. Murphy Walsh Hall FTER several years of expectation and crying need another hall is to be added to the equipment of buildings. Walsh Hall, the new dormitory, is slowly rising from the ground, a beautiful example of modern collegiate archi- tecture, a magnificent hall which will be one of the most complete and up-to-date dormitories in the country. It is indeed a fit expression of the earnestness and zeal of the toilers who are building it and a worthy tribute to the memory of Father Thomas E. Walsh, sixth President of Notre Dame and probably the greatest builder and organizer the University has ever had. Walsh Hall will be two hundred and thirty feet long and located one hundred feet south of Sorin, facing the Quadrangle. Pressed brick, somewhat more elaborate than that used in the older buildings of the U., will be used in its construction, and it will be different both in style of architecture and in that it will be raised to a higher elevation than the other dormitories on the campus, the water-table being on a level with the widow-ledges of the first floor of Sorin. It will be three and one-half stories in height with full basement, and the floor of ail the corndors and of the assembly room will be of mosaic tiling. An auditorium will be located m the basement, where special lectures will be held for the men of the Arts department. Tlie rear rooms are all to be single, fitted with stationary wash-stands and hot and cold water. The front rooms will be made into suites of three, consisting of a large study with a bow window to be used in common by two boys, and a bed-room on either side. Opening from one of these bed-rooms will be a private bath and toilet. In case any other combination of rooms is desired, it can be arranged by means of inner doors connecting the front rooms in such a way that one may walk the entire length of the hall without stepping out into the corridor. Through the halls at intervals will be arranged fire-proof doors which may be closed to prevent any possible spread of fire. An elevator for hauling trunks and furniture to the upper floors, a dustless compressed air sweeping system, and electric call-bells and wiring of the latest impro ement will be installed and will eliminate much inconvenience and disturbance. For several years the need of a new dormitory has grown more and more imperative, owing to the ever-increasing enrollment. The building will prolong the quadrangle effect and add much to the impressive grouping of the old halls. It is already well under way. The basement is dug and the outer walls of the building now reach to the level of the first floor. In the absence of Bishop Alerding of Fort Wayne, the cornerstone was laid on May the twelfth by Archbishop Christie of Portland, Oregon. The ceremony was short. The Archbishop read low mass at eight o ' clock and Presi- ident Cavanaugh delivered the sermon of dedication. Then a procession of students and faculty marched with the band from the church to the site of the new building, where the cornerstone was soon blessed and laid, after which the procession again returned to the church to sing a Te Deum. The name Walsh is given to this new dormitory to commemorate the work of Rev. Thomas E. Walsh, C. S. C. President of the University from 1881 to 1893, a man of superior endowments and great execu- tive ability. He was barely past the age of twenty- eight when he came to the presidency, but he was even then a ripe scholar. His great work was to extend the courses to a wider scope of influence than any to which they had ever attained before. j; hM Archbishop Christie Laving Cornerstone of Wai h Hall May 12. 1909 The Infirmary This is the sick student ' s refuge. What student who has ever been sick at Notre Dame can forget the motherly ministrations of Sister CeceHa and the other noble nuns of the infirmary? Sister Cecelia is the treasured idol of all who know her generous, self- sacrificing disposition, and every old student for whom she has ever exercised her care, will always bear deep down in his heart a loving memory of the Foster-mother of the students of N. D. The Predicament O you remember liow tlie Quadrangle looks on a crisp, frosty morning in November? How, in the minutes that elapse between the rismg bell and the summons to prayer, you have looked out of the window and seen the chilling frost manthng the ground with a garb of purest white? And on the way to breakfast, how you have shivered, and drawn your coat tighter about you, while your pal said, Gee, it ' s cold! Winter ' s coming, sure. But in a few minutes, after you ' ve filled up with those inimitable Notre Dame buns, you step outside again to see the great shining sun peering over Science Hall, and somehow, everything looks a lot brighter and cheerier than it did before. Almost without think- ing you tap some fellow on the shoulder and say: Come on, let ' s take a walk before Dogma. Of course he agrees, and it ' s a ten- to-one shot that you will wax more confidential on that short, post-prandial stroll, with all around you the mists of morning melting into one of those beautiful days that stand on the threshold between Autumn and Winter, than at any other time during all the twenty- four hours. Now, don ' t fall into the error of believing that this preamble has not its purpose, for it has. It was on just such a morning as this that Pete Dwyer, of the Eleven, was tapped on the shoulder by his friend Bill, and was invited to accompany him on just such a walk. Of course, Pete said, I ' m on . Bill replied, All right, we ' re off. The two uppermost subjects in the minds of both these men were that big game which was to be played during the second week following, and the most important social event of the first semester, the Junior Prom. So, naturally enough, it was of these that they spoke. Of course, you ' ll play, Pete? said Bill, not so much in the manner of asking a question as of stating a fact. Pete play? The find of the season, who had already brought two victories to Notre Dame? Well, I should say so! Pete ' s own answer, however, was more modest. I suppose so, Bill, he said, but you can never tell what ' ll happen. And how about the dance? Going? Bet your life! I just got a letter last night and she says she ' ll be here for the whole works — game and dance, both. Ah, Bill, she ' s the fine girl, she is. Did I ever tell you about — etc., etc. You, dearest reader, know the rest; ' tis vain to tell you more. You know what sacred confidences were poured into Bill ' s ears that morning, for you know Pete — lots of him, frank and generous-hearted to a fault, as he is. Just note Pete ' s last words, as he mounts the steps of Sorin Hall, and judge for ycurself how Bill has been stringing him. Yes, it ' s a fact, old man, Pete was saying. Lucile and I are engaged. It ' s a settled thing and we ' re • But why listen furttier? All through Dogma class the seediets of a plot were developing in Billy ' s mind, to the great disap- proval of the very dignified professor who indulged in a few of his mimitable hot ones ' at Bill ' s expense. By the time the mail was read at 9:30, Bill had the general run of what he was going to do. He would have some fun out of Pete, and it would happen in this wise: Pete was about to become a member of the Shakespeare Club, an organization founded by one of the most enterprising members of the faculty. The capable director of the Club had already succeeded in inveigling many otherwise good fellows; he was now hot-foot after Pete. Bill saw a good chance for his joke and it was agreed among the fellows that Pete should be initiated and initiated right before being admitted. Bill took charge. It is needless to mention the stunts that Pete performed. How for two hours he kept Bro. Bruno in his room detailing the stories of his martial exploits while Pete took copious notes on the same, or how he was ruthlessly thrown on the mercy of the hall-room boys, and could find only one broken collar-button remaining of all his possessions after the onslaught was over. These were mere by-play compared with the crowning feature of Bill ' s entertainment. When the committee on entrance requirements insisted that Pete should propose on his knees to Millie Martin, the friend of all the boys , it needed all of Bill ' s persuasive powers to keep him from balking. He could not beg off, however, so one evening, armed beforehand with the assurance that it needn ' t be so darned serious after all, he made bold. Accompanied by two friends and by the temperamental director of the Shakespeare Club, to whom Bill had promised rare sport, Pete went bravely to meet his fate. The director was rather surprised to see the boys making for the part of town where Millie lived, for unbeknownst to anyone, he had called around there a little himself. Pete went in alone, the others remaining outside the window to make sure that he proposed according to rule. He lost no time. The inspiration came suddenly to him while Millie was serenely conversing on Notre Dame ' s chances in the coming game, and he as suddenly fell upon his knees, clasped his hands beseechingly and poured forth an appeal that would have brought response from a heart of stone. The framers of the appeal had indeed done their work well, for did Millie, demure young lady that she was, say, Why, really. Pete, you know, I — I — etc. No. indeed. With one fell swoop she threw herself on his neck, and cried through her pearly teeth, Oh. Pete! Can it be true? I always did — (smothered here) — athletes. Meanwhile, let us see what has occurred outside. No sooner did the D. of the Shakespeare Club see the dame of his choice fling herself upon a rude football player. than he forgot his professorial dignity and uttered a fierce, most unnatural whoop. The boys were much startled, first because they were unaware that he was interested in Millie, and secondly, that he should for a moment, have lost his charming naturalness. Finally Bill managed to inquire. What ' s the trouble. Professor? ' Trouble? shouted that gentleman, striking an attitude and his heaving bosom at the same moment. Trouble? Look at that fellow proposing to the cherished idol of my heart, my darling Millie! Ugh! Let me in there! And he made a dash for the door. Whoa, there, old boy! Wait a minute, till he gets through. This is an entrance requirement, you know. They pinioned the director and held him tightly until Pete had discharged his ohligations to the satisfaction of all concerned, himself excepted. Then they boarded the next car for home. Of course it ' s of no use to dwell longer on the scene within. Nor will it profit us to picture Pete durmg the next few days, now indeed a full-fledged Shakespearean, but, nevertheless, sore m conscience. He was in an unprecedented situation. He was engaged to two girls, and to make matters worse, in less than two weeks both would be on the same ground. It was a dead sure cinch that he couldn ' t turn them both down and it was no less certain that somebody ' s fur would fly if he attempted to conciliate both parties. .No wonder, then, that the next week saw grave concern among the coaches for Pete s physical condition. He suffered a slump in his football practice, and even towards his friends he assumed an unwonted gruffness that no one could explain. Every afternoon at 4:30 he received a diminutive blue envelope, scented and waxed. It was Millie ' s unfailing daily offer- ing and was worded as sweetly as it was perfumed. Do be careful, for my sake, and Have you broken any of those fine, manly bones of yours, dearie? — this was what worried him. Pretty soon Pete made it a point to have his mail examined before it came into his hands, and accordingly appointed Hug Henning official censor. He dared not venture into town till the day of Lucile ' s arrival and then he was filled with trepidation until he saw her safely stowed away in the Oliver and himself back again on the football field. Lucile was accompanied by a middle-aged lady, who acted as her chaperon. The day of the game arrived and Pete was to play in his regular position at quarter. His practice had shown signs of improvement and the coach could not risk the loss of such a valuable man, anyhow. Cartier Field that day was a sight to make every rooter ' s heart beat faster with joy and pride. The long, straight yard- lines, drawn out vs ' ith as much precision as the course of a mediaeval tourney-ground; the goal-posts marking the gridiron limits; the vast, cheering, swaying jam that filled the bleachers and lined the fences — ah, it was a sight worth the seeing and a furore worth the hearing. When, scarcely a minute apart, the opposing teams trotted on the field, a roar went up from the crowd that drowned Petersen ' s band. There was unrestrained enthusiasm everywhere, and every face was flushed with the doubtful hope of victory — except that of Brother Hugh, who found his duty hard to keep Brownson Hallers on the right side of the fence. Millie Martin was there in the escort of Pete ' s friend. Bill, who intimated to her that the former had asked him, as a per- sonal favor, to see that she had a good time. But, much as Millie appreciated this, she couldn ' t understand why Pete hadn ' t asked her to the dance. Just behind Millie and Bill sat Lucile and her chaperon. They were in the company of two others of Pete ' s friends — real friends this time, who were in complete and utter ignorance of Bill ' s machinations. So it happened they were really surprised to hear Millie ' s ecstatic conversation, three-fourths of which consisted of fevered encomiums in Pete ' s honor and the other portion of covert allusions to his close friendship with her. Soon Lucile began to be openly worried and the boys to wonder what had come over pretty Millie. Finally Lucile asked, smothering all inquisitiveness out of her voice, Do you know that girl? Who is she? Why, said her escort, that ' s Millie Martin. Everybody knows her. A friend of Mr. Dwyer ' s, I suppose? Not particularly, so far as I know. Lucile remained silent, and Millie, unconscious of all this, sat immersed in what was going on before her, very often uttering an exclamation of delight or chagrin as her hero distinguished himself or otherwise. Everyone remembers that game. Wabash College has always been noted for its scrappy teams, and its reputation was well cared-for on this occasion. In the first half our boys succeeded in placing the ball behind the posts only after fighting like demons. Pete Dwyer turned the trick by a perfectly-executed forward pass and a quick sprint of twenty-five yards through an almost unopposed field. The first half ended with the score at 5 to in favor of the Gold and Blue. Everybody was happy and Pete was the lion of the hour. Of course, the crowd went crazy. Without order or precision at first, but only a confused pande- monium of shouts and roars and whistles, it soon settled into a steady succession of sharp, incisive U. N. D.s , Skyrockets and all the other favorites. The second half opened with Wabash determined to retrieve disaster. On the third play after the kick-off they lined up quickly, were off in a flash and before a man on the N. D. team was aware, a lithe, long-haired lad was tearing down the field, guarded by two of his teammates. Pete Dwyer played back on defense. When the crowd saw that a touchdown was imminent it arose breathless and watched. Tense and silent it stood to see what would happen. Like a racing thunderbolt the trio charged upon him. Pete held his place and waited. Bending low, he dug his shoes into the lurf and received the impact. The men of the interference were sent sprawling; Petes team tackled the runner. But Pete; what of him? In the instant of shock the breath had left his lungs like a cyclone; he felt a sudden pain dart through his shoulder. Now he lay senseless and sprawling. When the spectators saw what had happened there was a sudden hush from the confusion of triumphant yells. On the nearest end of the bleachers two young ladies suddenly stood up, looked anxiously at the group gathered around the prostrate Peter, and started in his direction. At the fence they paused. Lucile glared at Millie; Millie stared at Lucile. Why are you going out there? Why are vou y More glares, more stares and increased interest shown by the bystanders. Then both remembered the primary object of the expedition and, rushing quickly through the wicket, hastened to the place where Pete was lying. He was still unconscious when they arrived, but had shown signs of recovery. Millie and Lucile ranged themselves on either side of him and each took his hand. Just then Pete woke up. Wasn ' t that the deuce of a position for a hero to find himself in? : y Views of the Class Most Likely to Succeed. Schindler, 12; Walker, 10; McMahon, 9; Kanaiey, 6. Handsomest.

But Edmond (always spelled with an o ). is not an office seeker. Like Caesar he believes that the office should seek the man ; yet despite this noble principle, he has a sense of duty that makes him accept with gladness whatever office is thrust upon him. The frankness and candor which characterize his every action leads many who know him too well to the opinion that he is aggressive. Perhaps he has a little of the chip-on-the-shoulder air about him, for his usual response to all requests is. I can do it if I want to. and if I don ' t want to. I don ' t have to. He is a true follower of Epicurus and partakes, whenever the oppor- tunity presents itself, of the many little delicacies that tickle the palate. Moving pictures and a kodak are his hobbies.

It ' s one of the most inspiring sights one can imagine to see Bonnie he back peacefully and say Now I m going to sleep until morning, if I break my back to do it. We might add as an afterthought that he generally suc- ceeds. Bonnie is numbered among the elite of this grand institution. He resides in Parlor C, Old College, with Hamerski and Escher as constituents. When not bumming the makings, you can generally find him vainly trying to get the best of that tarnal solitaire game that will never come out right. Taking him impressionistically. Bonnie is a swell little guy — quiet, except when roused to action by Fox ' s suspicious advances toward Hamerski ; and reserved almost to the point of shyness, except when the honor of his native Squeedunk is impugned.

He came to us from the wild West some three years ago, an unsophisticated, innocent hick. 1 o use his own words, he was green. It has been rumored that he once, before he came to N. D., saw a street car; but even at that, he was a diamond in the rough (O very rough) and a rare gem, too. He learned rapidly, both Law and culture. Now he is one of the beacons of the Senior class. During Christmas rec. he visited New York and mingled with the select of the town. We understand he made an astonishing impression. Besides his other accomplishments he developed an unexpected debating ability and a good case of the measles (not Muessel ' s). His disposition is most affable and he is known to have had but one quarrel during his college life, and that wasn ' t his fault. We are sure that Ted will carry the spirit of our elite East and some little respect for the Law back to his native hangout, and our best wish is that he will take his six shooter back with him that Mike Stoakes and the rest of us may be happy in the tranquillity of peace.

His humility is remarkable, and the chastening effect of his Well, I suppose it ' s my fault, which is cut loose with a ' more-sinned-against-than-sinning sort of a sigh, would convert the most hardened critic. The popularity accorded to him on his recent visit to Gary, when the newspaper told of how he was making a tour of the Western Colleges in the interests of The Dome, nearly turned his head, but Os Maguire soon took that out of him. His remarkable devotion to English has merited him much praise. Indeed, he came v ' ithin a few points of making the celebrated English team and really lost out only by a fluke. The New Province adds great impressiveness and dignity to the Senior Elocution class, and was the only one of that much-slandered but highly-respected body who had committed to memory the part he was to take in th.it lamented farce the Seniors were to have put on the boards with the help of Prof. Speiss as monotony breaker.

Dick gave many promises of future genius, and he has redeemed every one of them a hundred-fold. In his love of the aesthetic Dick rivals KCosterman, and so desirous is he of reveling, or rather, reclining among things beautiful that he actually dozed in the arms of Morpheus at the Congressional Library in Washington. Nor do his accomplishments run only in this channel, for he is also an orator of extraordinary ability and to hear his rich and melodious voice thunder Peace, Peace, Peace, is to draw a picture in your mind of the cruel tactics of war. Few indeed are troubles that have disturbed the tranquillity of Dick ' s existence, and the crudest wound he ever received was when in Greek class he was accused of sight translation. One thing that causes him sleepless nights is his propensity to worry over little details; especially is this true of the time when his bright eyes grew dull and his hyperion curls became thin as he „ , pondered over the elusive phenomenon, government guarantee of bank deposits. l:iill.

Not only on The Dome staff has he done well, but as a T square boy is Ippy easily acknowledged to be the best in the Senior Class. His peculiar hobby for strangely colored inks, particularly of a light green variety is remarkable. It is even asserted that he carries the motif into his latest architectural designs. He also has a hankering after small girls, probably gained from too long an association with Pat Walsh. Harry ' s unfailing smartness of person, abundance of small talk and general knowledge of South Bend society, have been a great aid in making The Dome a go. A clean triumph as deary ' s assistant at the business end of The Dome together with his wide knowledge of humanity, gained by frequent inspection trips to centers of construction work are Ippy ' s chief recommendations. iiAKin im:i: ■Ipvii -J CAPARO is, to quote the words of a famous philosopher.

Caparo spends a great deal of time trying to discover the dimensions of unseen stars, for which he has gained some note as a scientist. The Tantalus of pure mathematics has also been explored by this doughty young delver. and his reports on the nature of such monsters as quaternions and complex determinants have marked him as a man to be feared and ga.

As a worker. Dan is busier than the bees — for besides instructing the young and gracious of every age how to become actively virtuous, he daily wooes the jealous Mistress. His intentions in this pursuit are serious and his one ambition is to wed her for life. Pennsylvania claims the dis- tinction of calling Dan one of her sons, and we acknowledge our indebtedness for allowing him to become one jf us. In society he is a revised edition (very lately revised) of a Beau Brummel. and many a feminine heart has he captivated by his learned and classical dissertations though he still remains fancy-free.

The universal concept always includes the specific term, hence the futility of mentioning Abe Lincoln. John first developed a de.sire to run one of the Halls of the Uni- versity and. having failed as an athlete, and being a firm believer in the maxim that The end justifies the means, cook to debating and oratory. He debated and orated himself into the Presidency of everything in St. Joe Hall, and as a fitting apex to his varsity career assumed the managership of Tafl ' s campaign in Clay townshjp. Here Deiner ' s star commenced to fall. He became known, and wherever he is known, it is all off. So he retired from activity, segregated himself from the student body, and went to the archives of the Main Building. Here he practiced his oratory on Lynch. McK.ee and all who would listen (who could fail to hear him?) and prepared for the debates. It is a sad story but withal Deiner means well and has more friends than admirers.

He comes from Milwaukee, and has been coming from there for the last dozen years or more (which accounts for his awkwardness). Usually it ' s a hazardous thing to write about a fellow ' s Lyties and Gertrudes, but in the case of Ichabod it doesn ' t matter, for he writes pomes to them, and then gets so stuck on the pomes that he forgets the wTritees and publishes his effusions. John, like Kasper. is one of the pioneers of N. D. and loves the place so thoroughly that he doesn ' t know when to quit it. He is a child prodigy, holds the St. Joe County record for dodging Scribner ' s man most persistently and most successfully, and is always right willing either to borrow or to lend. His delight is to interpret Shakespeare under the method of the Natural System and he is the pride of Spiess ' dramatic expressionists. When the last word has been said, however, little Johnnie is left unscorched. His absolute utilitarianism may be pernicious, but his desire to accommodate others (Scribners ' Sons excepted), often even at the sacrifice of personal enjoyment, has endeared him to all the ' 09 men, as only a baby can be endeared. .lOHN lOX •Juhnniv itcDiW Ichaboil EDWAKD ESCHKIt ' •A ' . .

He is going back there immediately after grad- uation because he is a lover of the beautiful, and dotes especially on the matchless Braddock Roses. Esch ' s hobby is Civil Engineering, which he follows with a great deal of zest and noise. He s taking Civil so as to be jble to go into society on his return home, and also into the real estate biz. It was rumored at Xmas that Ed. had married, but investigation proved that he had only perfected remote plans toward that step. He used to be Business Manager of The Dome but quit so as to devote more time to working up a drag with Prof. McCue. Ed. is a very busy man (to hear him talk) and spends his leisure hours designing bridges. They say he is an exem- plary student, who talks when he sleeps — because the day is too short — a very base ball-player and as bad a singer, but for these things we can not vouch. w ' HEN 1 he Boy of the Golden West stamped his O ' Sullivans on the Sorin porch lour years ago, he courageously announced his residence as La Junta, Colorado, and the existence of that metropolis has been taken for granted ever since. Gavagan roomed with Cookie a year, and when the Bill of Separation was signed last Autumn it called for a weekly alimony — hence the copious supply of Red Band which is always to be found in Steve ' s domicile. Gav was the originator of the smile that won ' t come off and never mumbles his words (principally because he seldom finds use for them). Taking exercise is probably Mike ' s strongest point, in fact this propensity has been cultivated to such a degree that it was one time rumored about the Quad that he had been seen jumping at conclusions, but the story was forthwith denied in loto by Hug Henning. who claimed authority in the matter by virtue of rooming across the court. Gavagan aspires to engineering fame, and the way in which he engineered the Scribner deal gives ample proof of his ability. FRANK GAVAGAN Siet ' C Mike Qav.

Try to fancy a miniature steam-roller, with shocky hair and a complexion like a ripe pippin; couple this charming fantasy with the idea of one of these Punch-and-Judy talking machines, geared up to gatling-gun speed, and you have a fair conception of Cowrie as he is. Nevertheless, with ail his peculiarities he ' s a pretty good sort of a fellow. It has been claimed that he has Socialistic leanings and that last Fall Debs offered him a job as brakie for the Red Special, but how true these reports are we can only surmise.

M tiOWItlE -Itilt Grinijoe comes from one of the foremost towns of the Black Hills, — South Dakota. He was. up to this year, very unassuming and contented. But with the dawn of his Senior standing, as the orators say, there came an irresistible desire to see more of life and to mingle more merrily with the care-free Lotharios of South Bend. Not so much that he had a contempt for the rest of us. but rather than his intellectual horizon might be heightened, as Coffey would put it. did he make this momentous move. So now he is one of the day dodgers and instead of leading a rough-house in Sorin as he used to do. he has become a leader in society, a Beau Brummel. almost a Cupid. He blushes beautifully on all occasions and thereby adds richness to the general color scheme of his hair and of any drawing room. Like all che other Seniors he is a consistent and efficient worker. Here is the best epitaph we have for him. He. him- self never smokes, but he always has a few of the ' dizzies for his friends. ALBEUT Gl ' SUUKST ' ■Guslic LEO HANNON came lo us from ihe oil fields of Cattaraugus county. New ork. Leo endeavors to aid the home community by using vast quantities of the midnight oil, much lo the discomfort of his German better-half, who takes vengeance by inviting in some of the neighboring friski es from Brownson. Leo ' s worst faults are an inclination to talk shop at all times and to devote many hours to long-winded dogmatical disserta- tions. In fact his love for the latter subject has resulted in large returns in the shape of prizes, medals and honor- able mentions. To maintain the dignity of the professorial sanctum is hard enough at all times, but when confronted with the difficulties attendant upon entertaining the German Turn-Verein. it grows irksome. Leo is a plugger, and has no time for levity during working hours. He loves checkers and tennis and was formerly a member of the Olean Brass and Reed Band. As a student he is successful and for the future need have no fears.

When the boys grow bold enough to have words with him, his name was discovered to be Hamerski. This was at once tessellated into Ham. and Ham has existed on the plane of common mortals ever since. But this is not always to be. At present he is hiding his light under a bushel of bushy hair, but just wait. Ham studies mathematics occasionally, when the Indiana isn ' t running. He leads the league in McCue ' s Civil Engineering course and counts the seconds until June I 7th in the meanwhile. This, together with his daily stunts in Prof. Petersen ' s bandroom and the whacks he doles out to Fo. and Morrison at chess, constitutes nearly the sum of his activities. They say he ' s a regular cut-up when he ' s in his native element, which is Winona. Minnesota, but beyond mere rumor we can ' t say a thing, for he is a model around here. Ham is built long and narrow as a Pole should be; his temperament is even and phleg- matic, seldom giving way to emotional flights of any kind. So far as we know, he has never displayed enthusiasm in anything, not even when his home county voted wet. He and Escher are a living proof of the argument that diverse temperaments make the best affinities.

Such barharism must already have wounded his sensitive soul, for who knows better than John himself thai he is not a weedy-sport, but the fancy article done up swell. He has rarely been absent from the glare of publicity since his arrival at Notre Dame; never if he could help it. He has twice been a member of our debating team and in the recent tilt with Georgetown did him- self brown. He is much tak en with Carlyle s ideas about everything but work, which he instinctively abhors. Kanaley is, however, a pretty fine sort of fellow, and certain to be reckoned amongst the future greats. One of his most distressing qualities is an absorbing love of music. He has been known to carol a single ditty no less than 239 times in one week without ever hitting a note. All in all, as the poet so archly says, we consider John a very fair type of the Old College man. Various rumors from his home metropolis might be here mentioned in extenuation of his character, but, lest wt forget, we bow and pass on. .lOIIX KAXALEY •■A ' lMi K ' ltiiitr ' ' LEO HOGAN. the angelic art editor of The Dome, was born in Penn- sylvania, — jjst whereabouts makes no difference. Suffice it to say that he. like all other Pennsylvania products is oily and smooth, albeit he gets away with it better than many of the rest. His distinction lies in his record-breaking ability to sleep. He must work while he sleeps for he never finds time to do so in his waking hours. In this regard, he is like the lily of the field, for though he works not and neither does he spin, yet Solomon in his palmiest days was never so arrayed as Leo sometimes is. The Jews wouldn ' t have stood for it. In sartorial matters Leo is an exquisite, lavender vest, spats, etc.. etc. You can ' t fail to spot him. Nevertheless, Hogan has. perhaps more than any one else in the Senior Class, an artistic temperament and an eye for true aesthetic values. To watch him size up a picture for The Dome and then calmly discuss it with, or merely cuss it to its artist, is impressive, to say the least. He was chosen this year to preside over the destinies of the Sisters of Social Science, an office for which his wide and comprehensive knowledge of the habits of the fair sex had especially fitted him. Add to these other qualities a most unique method of answering questions in philosophy and you have Lee Hogan. i.Ki) iiiii;. .v ' ' Lit ' ' Hof c ' ' Titbhy JOHN KENNEDY . . .;. ■ ' Acii JOHN KENNEDY is one of the most truslworlliy of the Seniors. Don ' t mjsundersland liy that, thai lie is the only one, for all the Seniors are more or less reliable; but John is the treasurer and the treasure of the Class. Whenever the occasion demands that we should add dignity by our presence, we never feel a bit nervous, for we always know that we can put John up in the front row, who will always be depended upon to add color lone and altracliveness to the scene. John is the pride of Father Oswald ' s Greek class. Indeed that worthy doctor never fails to find, every month or so, with charming regularity, some noticeable improvement in John ' s knowledge of Greek. For a while Kennedy was interested in the Greek Chorus and its evolutions. So he faithfully took in every show that came to town, in order to complete his data regarding the latest musical comedy developments. Added to this he has a more accurate grasp of the fifth a than any other student in the department of elocution, which grasp he displayed in the rendition of The quality of Mercy scene for the edification of the bunch. B |EHOLD Robert the silent! (This is the first and perhaps only chance you will ever get of seeing him so.) Bob came to the U. when he was very young, some seventeen years ago. In all that time his actions have slill retained their youthfulness, though his locks, unlike the stand Grant took in maintaining his position all Summer, have steadily retreated year by year. And why shouldn ' t Bob be high-browed? Surely a man who has two degrees and who is in line for a third, besides being an assiduous student of the drama, (pronounced drayma) should have something to show for it. In his eagerness to grasp the intellectual and aesthetic, (for Bob is aesthetic) he tias never neglected the physical. In order to facilitate this penchant of his, Bob ' s father built a famous tennis court in their back yard, where Bob from his earliest days pursued the very wobbly tenor of his ways. On occount of his earnest and faithful devotion to this grueling sport, he has acquired the far-famed abnormally developed right, the fear and envy of every man at the U. ' save one.

Wisconsin, just mention to one of the inhabitants the unexcelled and unsurpassed merits of this great bard, and then watch the gleam in his eye. and aggressiveness steel his jaw, as he disdainfully asks you: Haven ' t you ever read Harry Ledwidge ' s ' Ode to Washington? It is truthfully said that a man is never appreciated in his own country, so if Harry is valued so highly in the hamlet wherein he gained his early education, imagine with what cheers and plaudits we welcomed him into our ranks at the beginning of the Sophomore year. Not only does Lcdgie write rhythmical verse, but he also delights to expound mythological lore; he loves to thrill and inspire his class-mates by the vastness of his erudition. Harry s daily recreation consists in translating a couple of pages of Pindar into English and then, just for the fun of it, you know, converting them into Latin. The strenu- ousness of this exercise accounts for the rosy complexion that adorns his angelic features. T ' I HE little lamb of the ' 09 Law Class hails from Buchanan, Mich. He had not attended school at N. D. many days before the wool was removed from his eyes and he began to attempt the complex problems of the Law. Rex-all readily agrees with the Judge on all matters of discus- sion, regardless of his own opinions. As private secretary to Abe Lincoln Deiner during the campaign of ' 08 he did much toward losing Clay Township for the Republicans. His worthy effort in distributing expressive por- trayers of the Republican leader placed him in line for a position in the census department of Buchanan. Lamb never laughs, but snickers and his merry ripple of giggles does much toward W ' inning for him the hearts of the fair in South Bend. He likes to play tennis, and assiduously cultivates the Indiana Company to learn all he can about the liner arts. At one time his class-mate feared that Rex-all ' would join the P. G. McLain aggre- gation, but he has decided to graduate first. Society life never prevents him from looking over his lessons and being prepared to assist the Judge in answering all questions put to him (by the Judge). Rex-all was elected the meekest man in the class and without doubt the honor is well bestowed. Ki;. i.. . iu Rex-alt ' ■Liimbic THE fates were indeed most kind when from tlie city of 1 oledo they sent into our midst, John McMahon, scholar, humorist and conservative Democrat. Fresh from an institution of severe disciphnary regulation. John was well lilted to enter, uninitiated, the class of 09, and, though he came to us at the eleventh hour (as he comes to class ever since), he soon found favor with his fellows and now is a real son of Notre Dame. It was but a short lime after his arrival that he began to make himself felt as a power in local circles. Later on he proved himself a man of no mean ability as an orator, and as a debater he shone with particular brilliancy, having been chosen as one of the trio that wrested the laurels from Georgetown. Before making his debut as a debater it was said of him that he even went so far as to make jokes on the professors. Although a man of many talents, it can not be said ol him that he is industrious, for he is much like the poet who was oft-times to be found lying supinely upon his back, waiting (as it is supposed) for the call of the Muse. And this great characteristic of Mack ' s was most forcibly illustrated by his class choosing him as the laziest man in the class by an overwhelming majority. .rilllN .M. .M. llll.N •■.v,rc«,. . ■■ •■ hnli- etc. While acquiring a general.

His one dark page, the story of how he dragged his Alma Mater ' s colors to defeat, occurred at the famous Whatcheer, Iowa, Fourth of July races, back in the nineties. However, this may be overlooked in one so promising, and we may well believe that a man, who can distinguish between a librarianess and a danger signal at four miles, may well look forward to an unruffled future.

His favorite pastime in days gone by was attending the theater, but since the 09 men voted the Class Presi- dency and the atlas of editorship on his shoulders, he has become the personification of the eye that never sleeps. In the Autumn days Mac was always welcome in our midst; after the wheels of The Dome began to get up speed, however, a watchman was always kept on guard at Old College to announce his approach, and when he came round the rest of us editors would rush hatless and coatless to the tall and uncut. Bui when he did corner any of us. the congenial way and off-hand manner with which he requested only five thousand words on the beauties of the trunk room made one feel almost sorrowful that he did not ask for a second edition of Hank Kemper ' s Thesis. As an orator he is one of the best, having won the State contest for Notre Dame; as a man he is par-excellence, winning the respect and admiration of all with t whom he has been associated. V J c APTAIN JOHN McKEE, President of the Senior Law Class, ladies ' man. and one of the best fielders Notre Dame has ever had. hails from Chicago. He resides in the Main Building and has cultivated Bro. Ceslaus. who opens the door after ten-thirty to skivers. He also takes frequent trips to Mishawaka to see one certain fair damsel but nevertheless, applies himself with diligence to the Law. His bad temper is kept on ice until the Professor of Elocution begins to rant in the faculty room or until Hank Deiner tries to discuss the intricacies of Socialism in the forum above. On these occasions McKee lapses into his native dialect and uses words which it would be unfair to publish. Jack is demonstrative by nature, believing there is much that is good and beautiful in the world, in which he is unlike Scullin. who talks profound pessimism. To prove his affability Jack graces the dony every week and tries to give it social atmosphere. For all of which philanthropy he is entitled to the sweet patronymic. King of the Denies. .TOn.N .McKKI ' •Cnii .hirk - ofifc IIIKAM MCCAKTV • ' Mac ' ' ••JJoc ' ' HIRAM is a day-dodger and an ' 08 man. Ordinarily this is enough to disquahfy any man from mention in these pages, but who would not make an exception of Doc? He is a man who sheds glory about all who associate with him, just like J. Rufus Wallingford. Lest Mac might suffer some diminution in his fair fame we won ' t carry the comparison further. 1 hat reference to fair fame should call u p many thoughts of our friend. McCarty. Like all men possessing the scientific instinct, he cares only for rare specimens of any species, and his conscientiousness is brought to bear in his choice of girl chums wilhoul any scruple. It is not an uncommon occurrence to see Mac promenading Michigan street with a tid-bit anchored to his coal-sleeve, and you may always call it a safe bet that she ' s the fairy queen of the lot, or Doc wouldn ' t cling. He never fails to get in right, you ' ll notice, too. Some people say the girls like him for his gray hairs and grandfatherly ways, but it ' s a bum steer they ' re giving you. Hiram takes the Degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist this year, and if he doesn ' t make great strides in life with such a handicap we shall all lose faith in human nature. A DELVER into the occult is our professorial classmate. Al. Mertes. Get you at a respectful distance, peer longingly into the stern coun- tenance ol this stalwart Wolverine, and if you discover not the marks left by many tussles with the forces of nature et al., you are a poor reader of character. Merles has found lime from his multifarious duties as professor, football-player and student, to contribute articles to London scientific periodicals on such subjects as, Can a mosquito be choked to death? and Why does a jelly fish? He hangs out over in Chemistry Hall along with his bosom chums. Bill Schmitt and Jap Lawlon. From time to time rumors of a sinister nature have been associated with that bunch, and people returning home late have reported visions of them, immaculately clad, beating it along the Avenue with purposeful aspects. We say nothing, since all know that in the event of an accusation Mertes and Lawton would swear it was an expedition in the interest of science, with Bill a s a chaperon. .M.l!i:itT MEUTKS Al ABOUT the time the memory of the oldest inhabitant hegan to fade. Francisco Garza Nieto, better known as King. arrived at Notre Dame. It is not definitely known how long ago that was, but we can say at least that he has graced the University with his presence so long that he is nearly afraid to go home. Bill hails from Monterey; we ' ll try to let that explain many things, though it ' s really not a valid excuse, for it can never be made an excuse to pardon his making a dam thesis. But it is really a nice dam — much nicer than you would e. pect from Bill, who is otherwise a mighty good fellow. He has a sincere contempt for everything not in his line, and pities especially those unfortunates who study Liberal Arts. The latter feel pretty cheap them- selves when they have to write up Civil Engineers. If it were anyone else but Bill Nieto, we ' d be tempted to say what we think of his old mathematical dope, but we are prevented by the fact that school doesn ' t close until June I 7lh. So we restrict ourselves to saying merely that he is looked upon by all as one of the handsomest men on our planet. If you don ' t believe it, look upon him yourself and see. Besides that he is a prince of good fellows and King ' ' B I of the Spanish-American colony. 1--KAN ' CISC0 NIETO Hill Ktnu THERE is something mysterious about Neble which is hard to explain. Perhaps it is his second given-name, or rather the lack of one, for he disclaims all knowledge of having one. McKee asked him one day what the F stood for. F, said Neble, stands for ' F ' , and that is all His loyalty is most marked. When Lamb tried to entice him to leave Sorin Hall and live down town, he submitted the matter to her. The opinion he received was that he might, perhaps, be led into temptation, were he out in the cruel world, so he decided to stay with the old bunch and is still in Sorin. Neble studies with a seriousness becoming a man and recites with a certainty born of knowledge. During his younger days he went in for athletics, but he soon deserted the field to devote his entire attention to the Law. His hobby is collecting both photos and demerits. The latter he works off, the former he exhibits to his friends. That he will succeed IS certain, for he has a little ability with perseverance and self-confidence in an abnormal degree. sui-uis .NliCI.E •IMIlc Boy Blue ' ■Fuilie FOUliJOST lilTJ ' Kl! ■■;•«•■ Ilnihh TWO years ago there came to Notre Dame from the hickier portion of Indiana a meeli, inoffensive creature, who was later to he known as F. Ritler. Benedict and Curator of Dean Howard ' s Law books. The Bene- dict part of it is no joke either, for behold, the fall of 1908 witnessed likewise the fall of our friend, .■ il. Ere his hosts of admirers were, so to speak, on, Rit had stolen a march and had established a fireside of his own down on the Avenue. The envy of all his former equals, he has abode (or abidden) here in bliss all year, only taking time out to chase up law reports and keep Walker and Carville in order. This latter obliga- tion was most trying. But he trained the boys well. One can see the improvement in their manners already. But with all his cares Rit ' s doing fine and expects to lake his degree in June with a cinch. He bears out with emphasis Charley Schwab ' s assertion that all successful capitalists and confidence-men should marry early. w r.AL I ER QUINN studies the Law when McKee does and goes to town when McKee goes. One of his many claims to distinction is the fact that he rooms with the Captain. He is not as devoted to the woman beautiful as Cap but rumor hath it that he is not overly bashful. He shares with his room-male a dislike for rasping noises and he has therefore fallen into disfavor with, the Big Dane. He was not invited to Deiner ' s parly, either, which hurt him terribly, and that also tended to strain relations between them. Long ago, when he was still in Sorin, Sir W. had athletic aspirations. So, at the call for volun- teers he joined the squad and became one of Sorin Hall ' s football men. But with a broken nose his yearning for glory on the grid, left him, and in that regard he is contented to bask in the reflected light from McHee. He is modest, unassuming, obliging and has a quiet air of reserve about him that makes one expect to find great dignity in him for the future. Quod sit ! WAI.TliK QflNN tr Waller ' ' .rniiN sriirNiii,i;i; tikinnit Shiml SC 1 IINDLER came to us from Mishawaka, (you all know where Misliawaka is) and occupies a unique position in the Law class. Besides being an apt student he is imbued with a spirit of justice. On a certain occasion John acted as Chief Justice in the trial of one of his class-mates. The prisoner was soaked. Combined with a fondness for justice is a weakness for arbitration. When any of his fellow students become argumentative and are at the point of wreaking vengeance upon each other, his commanding w-w-wail a minute always brings about a delay which he turns into peace and quietude. As a student he is earnest and enthusiastic, and answers with jqual facility any question put to him. He is soon to become an attorney, and it is our wish that his fondness for justice may secure him a seat in some court of the same — most preferably that of Justice of the Peace in Penn Township. B EAUTIFUL would not be quite the word to use in a description of San Pedro, and besides, he might object. With all his modesty, though, he is a good lellow and tries hard to do well. If we are to believe the Professor of Chemistry ' s opinion, however, he seems possessed of an insatiable desire to work havoc upon an innocent and unpresuming world. His chemical compounds sometimes are all right, and then he feels so rt of unnatural, but when he returns again to the old mixtures, then he once more commences to regain his natural care-free disposition. He is generally well liked and has an agreeable way about him. Whenever he feels that it would not be quite proper to use certain language in your presence, he court- eously refrains from speaking English and turns to the Spanish tongue as a more pleasing though less understandable method of communicating thought. It really is a joy to hear him explaining anything. For, as he warms up to his subject his poetical nature manifests itself by using and abusing English with a naivete and abandon that is, to say the least, astonishing. SAN I ' EDlii) Hike WH Joe s name is Joe we don ' t know and we don ' t care nohow, for when he came he registered as John Emmetl Sculhn. Esq.. Stoughton. Wis. There is a theory, however, that John Kanate of Weedsport opmed thai there are too many Johns already and so locally they called him Joe. Joe is an orator of the Dan. Webster school, and his crag-like features illustrate his euphonious voice as only a crag can illustrate anything. Joe has never been known to studv books but he delights in sociological reseach. This passion has made a first-class bibliophile of him and to see him at the bibliolecke in the Bend every day (hours I A. M. to 8 P. M.) with Os is an ocular feast, they like — but, tut, tut, that ' s another story. Scul has some awful bad habits — chief among which are hobnobbing with Coffey and arguing metaphysics. He is a devoted disciple of St. Thomas (the inspiration of his thesis) altho he insists that the doctor writes very poor Latin. Joe, let it not be forgotten, is an active member of the Hammer and Anvil chorus. ■lOIIN S iMI.y.lN •■hicli ■■Jim ■• ;; ' •Sriil OTTO SCHMID came to us from the great packing house district of Kansas City, and started in at Notre Dame determined to make a packing house of his cerebral portion. How well he succeeded we need not mention here. His Essays in Little rank among the classics of the ' ' early twentieth century, while as a poet he ran Byron a close race for Senior honors. Otto is a grind, but not among the hopeless ones. He loves to take an occasional dip in the Romantic literature of the times, his favorite bit of fiction being The Widow by the noted Mme. Gumdrop. Otto joined the temperance movement early in his career and has since been an assiduous mover m all that pertains to high life. His temperament is of the good, dependable sort, which may be relied upon to remain stolid even in the most trying situations. He is a patriotic countryman, and for several years held the office of Guard of the Stein in the Sheffield Station Turn-Verein. At present he is engaged with a treat us on the relative merits of Economic and Socialistic Preponderances. If stick-to-it-iveness is the real factor in life. Otto ' s future history will be a wonderful revelation to his many friends. OTTO SCIIMU) ■Of ART URO SIMON comes from some wild spot in the interior of Cuba, where his dashing figure, clad in hunter ' s costume, is a familiar sight to the woodland creatures which inhabit the island. When Arturo was a small boy his father commenced to fear lest he should contract the habits of the jungle, so he shipped him up to Notre Dame to learn about logarithms and turbines, and such. That was many years ago, however, and Arturo is so tame now that he will eat out of your hand. He has even learned to talk English, but his accent is so exquisite that nobody cares whether he understands him or not. Arturo for that reason is a great favorite with his professors. When he doesn ' t know how to answer a question, his explanations are so voluble that the Prof, is too scared to call him down, and when he does know how you can tell it by his smile without listening. So they ' ve got him figured out both ways. In person, he is high and shapely; walks like an airship and wears Clapp ' s Clever Clothes with great effect. His conversational periods are frequent and cyclonic; they remind you of an X-ray machine throwing off ten-foot sparks. Bill Nielo has taken good care of him to date, and as to the future, we can only hope for the best. Al! 11 11(1 Sl.MIlN ••Mutujytl ■ ps IMAGINE, if you can, a male Circassian with all the latest bangles m dress in evidence upon him; imagine a man of tawny skin, passionate features and cultivated aspect, and you see before you the last of Montezuma ' s race in the person of Gus Trevino. frevino likes to talk United States and he does it whenever anybody will listen to him. Nobody ever claimed that his command of the Queen ' s Eng- lish is, as it were, superabundant; or that his fine nature has been improved by personal contact with the rough •American boys, but we know he likes the lingo because we ' ve all heard him abuse it. They say that every night after leaching his Spanish class (for Mr. Trevino is a member of the faculty, you know), he feels compelled lo take out his guitar and wail a few dulcet chords to an imaginary inamorata in his native blarney, so as to delete the blatant Englishness of its accent. Gus ' s character is as spotless as the immaculate shirt he wore the night he and the faded European aristocracy toted a St. Mary ' s crowd to supper. In fact, we may say that except for his one crowning black smudge he is a very good boy. This smudge is his wooley head, and that isn t his fault. ilAVll TIMOVINO RUF graduated with our esteemed predecessors, the ' 08 class, in Mechanical Engineering, but. thinking that he had not masticated enough N. D. buns, returned this year to delve into the mysteries of electricity. Now to delve literally means to dig, and we don ' t want anyone to infer that Bumper ever does manual labor, though he will hammer a little when properly encouraged. Athletically. Wally has brought much credit to himself and to Notre Dame, by his excellent work both on the diamond and the gridiron, and now he is star pitcher on the famous Walsh Hall nine. In former years he was never known to skive a class in donyology at Eagle ' s Hall, but since he lost his running mate. Jack Scales, he had the class cut from his bill of studies. No one at the U. enjoys a joke better than Rufe and he would sooner roughhouse than eat at Little Mike ' s. His favorite pas- time consists in peeving Cookie, and then quelling Jimmie ' s anger by taking him to town and setting them up at Gentlemen ' s. Mendota is the burg from which Bumper emanates, and in the Blue Book of that miniature metropolis he commands a most distinguished place. V. l,IMlliF ■■;, ' « ■• ■Wiiiiii FRANK. C. WALKER is a devoted lover of his Mistress — Law. He is known somewhat in Butte society and has visited in Toledo, although the details of that visit are not for publication. It is said that when Frank was yet a small boy, he gave great evidences of oratorical prowess and the fond hopes of friends and very dear relatives in Butte and elsewhere have been more than realized. Frank has twice won a place on the Varsity debating team and also on the Law debating team. He is argumentative in the extreme and is always well stocked with statistics which he delights in springing on one John V. Deiner. He is one of the most versatile of the Senior lawyers and is the possessor of a voice that is equally well adapted for one thing or another. Much more might possibly be said of him. but Frank is still innocent and modest and we fear that if these things were written he might become spoiled. The future holds forth great promise for Frankie of the sneering look. for he is true blue. keen, shrewd and able. His only weakness is a tired feeling that has often caused trouble with Bro. Marshall, and this proclivity of his is most strikingly shown in that he received unanimous choice for the second laziest man in the class. lliA.NK v. i.Ki;u The Uiille Kid II IS said clothes never make the man , but clothes at least distinguished Woodic. He always displays the new lashions before Adier does and wears his trousers with one roll higher and socks one hue brighter than any other lellow in the Main Buildmg. As Assistant Manager of Athletics he was the find of the year. Wood has a weakness for distributing athletic posters in Mishawaka. He says he does this just to keep the town well posted, but it has been hinted that he has a darker (his favorite is brunette) and more sinister purpose m visiting chat city. .An athlete of marked ability, Woodie has never allowed this or anything else to interfere with his atten- tion to the fair ones. He has many admirers (of either himself or his clothes) among the gentler ones, but to his shame be it said that to him the last one is always the best of all . Wood is said to study at times but he would not like to have this generally known — it might hurt his reputation. He is a man of purpose and one who will meet and overcome all opposition as those who heard him announce the victory of the basketball relay team will readily vouch. His past may be forgotten, and if his future be as bright as his blush, he will be eminently successful. Good for You FAY WOOD Woodie Fau When you skive to town to see a show. Or call upon a girl you know. And don ' t get caught in doing so — Good for vou. If you ' re slow and miss the morning prayer And clatter madly down the stair. And find no prefect waiting there — Good for vou. When you read a novel late at night. With curtains drawn, and tabooed light. If you don ' t get fifty sure, outright — Good for you. If you ride a pony through exams.. And get good marks like one who crams. And no one ferrets out your shams — Good for you. When you feel like blazes, blue and sore. Rough-house in the room next door. And don ' t get caught in the uproar — Good for you. But no matter what you think or say Just bear in mind this little lay. Beware the man who says all day, — Good for you. On the Avenue He met a flirt As prim and pert As maidens fair can be; He met her once And in a nonce His heart was filled with glee. For pretty May Did not display The love he thought he ' d won. Her ice-cold stare And haughty glare Congealed his joy and fun. They laughed and talked Awhile they walked Along the Ave. to spoon ; They were a pair Of lovers fair, Beneath the Summer ' s moon. He watched awhile — Then saw her smile Upon another toy, And saw him kiss TTiat dainty miss, — The naughty little boy ! The stars were bright That spoony night. — TTiey winked and blinked and smiled. But he next day To his dismay Found out he ' d been beguiled; He had been green. But now he ' d seen. That lips could be most cheap; So from that place He went apace. Nor went away to weep.

Rondeau Editor ' s Note: — The inspiration lor this immortal rondeau was furnished by a incident on the local slock-exchange last Winter, when Durkasco, owing to a strong Bull movement, dropped ten points. ' You ' re canned — was what Durkasco said. When to the floor he dropped like lead. Not gracefully did he alight. But rather as did Orville Wright, When his airship struck a shed. At first they thought Durkasco dead, But in his eyes there burned a light And soon he groaned — this very night You ' re canned. They laid him gently on his bed. With Herpicide they bathed his head; Ten men held down his mighty right, While loud he screamed — I ' ll fight. And added then this verdict dread, You ' re canned! I ' ll fight. €l The Tale of Goofie Have you heard the tale of Goofie, Goofie, he the mighty hunter. Who could shoot at any distance; Shoot and never think of aiming? How he downed St. Mary ' s chickens. Downed and bagged them, then returning Tasted not a gizzard even For the pains of his adventure? Come, and help me, fairy Muses, Help me sing the song of Goofie. Listen to me gentle student, Listen to this thrilling story. Twas a bright and cloudless Thursday, Goofie listened to the calling Of the wild and woolly lowland. Calling him to hunt the chicken. Calling him to distant regions. Goofie mused, as all great hunters. And the call was overpowering. Then he sought out two famed sportsmen, Mac. and he who plays the rag-time. And the three all took their pop-guns. And they hastened down the valley. Past the Lake where stands Old College, Past the graveyard and the campus. Out across the great wide highway. That makes Niles and South Bend joined, Down the avenue of Maples Toward the land of dears and robins. But these brave and noted hunters Left these pleasant lands behind them. Sought the wide and swift St. Joseph, Where it whirls around the island, Neath the battlements and turrets That prevent the dears from running Into danger in the river. There they stopped, and far-famed Goofie Placed his ear, trained to the woodlands. On the ground, and heard the calling Of the chickens in the meadow. Then he rose, his bright eyes blazing. And he straightened to his tallest. And his nostrils were distended With the joy of life and hunting. Come, he said. They crept on slowly, Goofie leading, toward the meadow. Suddenly he stopped and listened. Then he raised his mighty pop-gun. And he fired two real bullets, Mac. and the musician (?) trembling. Creeping on a little farther Raised they all their guns and fired. Ah! the aim of the true hunter! TTiere upon the ground before them Lay four fat and brutal chickens Dead of fear from mighty Goofie, While within a fence afar off. Safely lodged the hunters ' bullets. Leaped the gamesters bravely forward. Seized the dead chicks by the collars. Cut their throats and tore their feathers. Broke their legs and wrung their tails off. Singing praises to each other For the trueness of their aiming. Bagged they then the tortured chickens. Left the swift and deep St. Joseph, Back across the desert prairie. Back towards home, their faces beaming. TTion spoke Mac, How shall we cook them? ' And the great musician answered. Goofie ' s chafing-dish is missing, O Great Spirit, come and help us. Then they all sank low with weeping, Did these great and mighty hunters. Suddenly the quick-brained Goofie, Rose agam to fullest stature And his eyes ablaze and chest out. Said, We ' ll hie us to the kitchen, I ' ve a great and mighty drag there. So arose the three great hunters. Dried their eyes and ceased their sighing. And went bravely towards the kitchen. Because Goofie had a drag there. Soon they reached the kitchen ' s entrance. And they knocked with thundering bravery On the great and mighty portals. Then a gentle voice within said, Who is he that comes aknocking At our strong and trusty portals? And they roared with mighty voices, It IS Goofie, it is Goofie. And the kitchen oped its portals. There they left the dainty capture. Saying, We ' ve no chafing-dish, please cook them. We ' ll return for them this evening When the moon says it ' s 5 :30. Off they went then to their wigwam To then wigwam down in Sorin. But the Chief had watched brave Goofie And he liked not Goofie ' s actions. So with two or three brave trusties Went he up into the kitchen When the moon said ' twas 4 : 30. And he took the fair young chickens To his wigwam down in Sorin. There they ate with greatest relish Goofie ' s game, though Goofie knew not. When the moon said ' twas 5:30 Goofie, Mac. and the musician Journeyed up unto the kitchen. Knocked with firmness on the portals. And demanded Goofie ' s chickens. Came a voice from out the kitchen, Get thee hence unto thy wigwam, Goofie came and got his chickens When the moon said ' twas 4:30. Then the sad and tired hunters Took them slowly to th eir wigwam. Stomachs empty, eyes o ' er-flowing. At the door of Goofie ' s wigwam Lay a plate with bones, filled fully. Bones of Goofie ' s mighty capture. Then the hunters sank exhausted While from wigwams all around them Came the horse-laugh of derision. Weep with Goofie, gentle student. Shed your tears with his companions. Take example from their trials. Do not lose your chafing-dishes. Be discreet in all your actions. Hunt not chickens at St. Mary ' s, Or you ' ll share the fate of Goofie, Goofie, he the mighty hunter. The Umps and the Batter T ' ' HE bases were full and there were two outs. Dart Walker was absolutely going to give a fair decision, and was hopping around greatly perturbed, when John B. Reno, the mainstay of the faculty nine, advanced gracefully and with proper dignity to bat. He seized his bat firmly, with great precision and no undue haste, swung it two or three times over his shoulder to get the best grip on it and then assumed his position at the plate (see cut). Chauncey Dubuc threw a curve right over. Did John B. hit? No. He looked scornfully at the ball, made a contemptuous motion with his hand, and glared defiance at Dart as that worthy called out S-s-strike one. Chauncey commenced to wind up for the second throw. John B. crouched low like a tiger ready to jump on a porcupine and like the same tiger got stung on the next ball pitched. His curly head took on the aspect of an irate cat ' s back and his form became tense with the purpose of sloughing the ball and clearing the bases. From all sides, from the bleachers where sat the little scholars whom J. B. had awed with the recital of his brilliant achievements and do and dare spirit, to the grand stand where the conquered hearts of the maidens he had over- come with his personality and stories were flutter- ing nervously, there came excited calls and en- treaties that went to John B. ' s head like wine. He felt that he must strike the next ball pitched. He owed it to the girls who were anxiously await- ing this brilliant play, he owed it to his pupils, to the faculty nine, to everybody; and the knowledge of his debt brought added resolution to his will, and steeled his purpose with its mighty power. Then the ball was pitched. If you were a girl who had heard with delight that John B. was taking dancing lessons, and if you had set your whole heart on dancing with him and then learned that after all he could not dance, you might realize the disappointment of that next minute. John B. saw the ball coming, judged it to be wide, relaxed his position, and the ball shot straight over the plate. Reno ' s ire was up; That ball wasn ' t over, he yelled, be- fore the clecision was given. Dart was inclined to declare a ball, for he knew Reno ' s fiery temper and disliked a scrap. Chauncey Dubuc insisted it was over and they called Dart down to the plate. They argued for a few minutes, the suspense became intolerable, and then, ruthlessly crushing Reno ' s last hopes Dart solemnly announced s-s-striker out. ' reno at bat DAKT.

An Impression Dear George: — Am just back from my long deferred visit to the University, or rather to that part of it called Old College, for it is there that Nifty is roommg. Old College is quite a noteworthy place, rich in historical associations and other antiques though preserv- ing a loud note of freshness in the young men who are its present encumbrances. The building itself overlooks a small lake, which according to an old tradition related by Denny Morrison, the pioneer, was at one time the baseball field. Like all such places, however, it was rained on so often that it finally gave in and the bottom dropped out of it. The baseball team would have been swamped had they not been suspended promptly by the faculty board of control. Denny ' s education has not been neglected, it seems. He is the official pilot of the Rubberneck Buggy. But let us not digress. As I approached the venerable old pile I saw that all had been ruthlessly modernized. Above the porte cochere was hung a sign such as one sees outside our garages, Look out for the cars. Turning to a more convenient door labeled Side Entrance, I sidled in. There all was comfy and inviting. A priceless tapestry, bearing that classic line which has come down to us from our ancestors, Management not responsible for hats and overcoats, hung on the wall of the reception hall. Foggy Schneider was on the job. Foggy is the bell hop, coal heaver, handy man and general nuisance attached to the plant. He ' s a brick too, a real brick, fried on both sides but if anything a trifle over-done. They call him Foggy because of the general scheme of things — a sort of blur with the rose blush of his beacon the only distinctive landmark. Foggy chatted blithely in several dialects, using the allegorical style and making automatic connections. All the while quite a bustle and slambang was in progress in the various apartments. This, I learned afterwards, was the students putting their books in order preparatory to going to the lecture halls. No doubt some of the books are bound in bronze and quite ponderous. Foggy e.xplained that I must take the grand staircase, as the lift was not quite ready, having been overhauled but recently. Doubtless I was the cnly thing yet remaining to undergo that process. Well George, I swept up the grand staircase — that is, I went up. Reaching the landing I found several were there ahead of me, waiting about conveniently. I recognized them at once, as just out of the style book, you couldn ' t lose me. Is this the second floor? said I. Second floor! said they. Gents ' furnishings and imported novelties — gentlemen from Indiana and other regions infested with the species. Worthy sirs said I, like a regular cut-up, Six rahs and a little catsup. Where, I ventured, feeling my way, is the boudoir of Nifty Ned? Yonder, said they, just like they had been trying it over with the glee club. I knocked for several aeons. No response. Evidently, said someone in a neighboring cell, that young man was brought up at the wrapping counter. George, I was nonplussed for the moment, but hastily cranking up I turned to the bunch, and in real rythmic measures says I — Fellows, I ' m Uncle Bilious and I ' m looking for me nephew. Then I gives a clog step and a slap to my hip. Well, George, that little preface introduced the real lively chapters. They had all heard Nifty speak of me ' so often ' — The HOME OF GOOD CLOTHES We have earned this title for our store by giving our cus- tomers exclusive styles and patterns in good clothing in advance of all other South Bend stores. •. ■ • ■ ' ' FOR THE COLLEGE MAN who wishes distinct clothing and w ho is w illing to pay a fair price we guarantee better values than you find elsewhere Prices to Suit - - - $15.00 to $30.00 We Call Your Attention To our fine line of hats, including the Knox, Stetson, Howard and other dependable makes.

Nifty, said tliey. is the real rattle hereabouts and when his two-hundred-ten glides across the campus every- one skips to the window and exclaims — ' a coming young man! ' We adjourned to Nifty ' s study forthwith and there he was, deep in his Apologia. He was awful glad to see me and said he ' d heard the little confusion and thinking it to be Leo, wrapped in slumber, or mayhap one of the Sponge Brothers on the trail for the makins. he had forborne to abandon Plato. Nifty is such a dense student, — always gets above seventy-five in order and neatness — has done it right along. Of course we found him with the speedometer at the last notch. His roommate. Mack, also was thriftily engaged, sewing a button on the veranda — I should say his vest. He came in and assisted Nifty in receiving. Mack is chuck full of atmosphere, though I made bold to suggest that his frame would look more prosperous with a little more upholstering. I was presented to the residue of the Hall — quite an ornate bunch of remnants as I have already intimated, and they accepted the presentation as one must when the words are out of the umpire ' s mouth. First there was a young man from Milwaukee. His Gothic brow was surmounted by bristling strands in the modish style known as pomps. It seems that the correct thing is to clip the foliage tight at Easter to give a kind of Easter egg effect to the perspective. It is also proper to go about without a lid, but whether this is to create a Palm Beach atmosphere or to protest against the action of the State legislature, I couldn ' t learn. Besides Suds, the Milwaukee contribution, there was a thoughtful young man, who told me confidentially that he couldn ' t help it — having been reared in Marion. My heart went out to him, poor fellow, and I promised solemnly that I would use my influence to secure him a position concocting plots for comic operas or compiling a list of lady postcard collectors. At that he began to scintillate and I could see at once that his temperament was condescending, so I gave Nifty the signal for a forward pass. TTiereupon Nifty distracted our attention to an outdoor scene that filled my memory with newspaper clippings. ' Twas a young man, handsome in the glow of youth and fanatic fervor, frantically brandishing his fins and shouting at the waves that were trying their best to break wildly upon the quiet beach. Is it the cheer leader? said I, for I had seen posters of that hopeless dip. Ah, no, replied Nifty with a bored look. Merely McNamee, the boy orator. He is condemned to do that stunt night and day to uphold the veracity of our green-eyed, but tireless opponents. The Coach is putting him through stunts. At that the door opened and in walked a tall, majestic giant arrayed in low-neck sweater and folding trousers. At once everybody rushed to the rescue with Bull Durham, papers and fire sticks. After the usual platitudes were platted and I found he had no friends either in Waukesha or Jersey City, the tall majestic sank into the state rocking-chair to give the groundlings an ocular treat. Who ist, I finally managed to whisper to Marion. Where ' ve you been? he hissed back. Don ' t you read the metropolitan sheets? Well, George dear, I was caught off second that time. That, said Marion solemnly, is the one best bet — the varsity twirler — the idol of the University. Flunked? ventured I. Perish the thought, says he. exiled in Siberia, to the brush, to the rural shades of Brownson. Ere the last syllable died away the clock struck six and with one mad rush everybody made for the door.

My tiaming in getting away for the seven-ten lalllcr every mornmg landed me well u|) witli the pacemakers. During supper I chatted pleasantly with a neighbor who was visiting, as was Uncle Bilious. We discussed prose and cons, though Im not much on the con. For what is your nephew preparing? said he. For the worst, I replied. He is preparing for the world. Ah, you betray your narrowness, he cut in. Why not give him a training in the liberal arts in one of our modern schools. That will broaden him and let him see all sides. George, I saw at once that he was a submarine so I had to get into me deep sea armor and go down to his level. That ' s just it. says your Uncle. I don ' t want him liberal. I meets those kind every day — stepping on one another. They are wise to the fact that any straphanger can put up a University front, but there ' s one item not on either lobe of their noodles and I believe Nifty will find it here purveyed. It ' s the item that T is spelled ' u-s, ' that there ' s someone else on the reservation besides Chesty. I admit I ' m awful prejudiced but any Prof, that takes the ordinary garden variety of game young wiseguy and turns it into a man — the same gets my roll and don ' t you forget it. Such was the drift of my sentiments, but, George, he thought I was quite eccentric and of course I had to admit that where it is so plebian to be sensible I was just contrary enough to be peculiar. After supper the bunch strolled over to Old College again for a few drags. There was a St. Joe man in the crowd. I believe his name in real life is Elmo. At all events he is all to the good with Nifty; they are inseparable and have no secrets ex- cepting the past. Elmo came in to announce that he was off for the evening to bring a few near-flowers to a poor sick lady, who sold knickknacks at the fi e-and-ten. He and Nifty shook hands affectionately when parting. It was quite touching — judging from the two-bits that Elmo palmed in the process. All the bunch came in later, bringing the terrible Turk, of Toledo. TTie T. T. was just back from putting one over on some of the neighbor ' s children down at the Deestrick Skule. T. T. said it was the banking problem, but sure what does a college man know about banking anything but the last ball. I appreciated the joke hugely, the more so since it was on some of the neighbor ' s children. T. T. gave us cross-sections of his early history — I wish you could hear him — he is an exceptional ag and he wagged on interspersed by selections from the Egg-o-See Quartette, for the rest of the evening. He spoke highly of the kindly men who had driven him into Vaudeville. When leaving the school of his youth the faculty had pre- sented him with a very fine recommend — in fact they would have presented him with anything to help him along when he was leav- ing. At ten sharp the party beat it to the hay, leaving Nifty and myself to our meditations. I had to leave early next morning — just as the mustgetup bell was ringing. I assure you I was edified by the pronounced silence about the place as the students busied themselves with their early toilet. It was remarkable, but according to Nifty, nothing unusual. I have wearied you with this long recital, but the half isn ' t told. Write soon, to our devoted Uncle Bilious.

He hasn ' t the nerve to call it forgetting; says he ' s a somLulist. you know, and gets out of it that way. Number Two, (with withering scorn) — Is that so?

He saw Gwendolyn on the street and lifting his hat, bowed with the grace which only he possessed. Gwendolyn looked astounded, but he knew it was because of seeing him. Which was indeed correct. He would not speak until the announcement of the engagement was made public and she had time to appreciate his delicate proposal. So he hurried past her with merely a yearning, affectionate smile. As soon as he arrived home he penned a short note announcing the engagement to the society reporter of the Tribune and awaited results. On the morrow the Tribune came out and in big letters was the announcement. How pleased he felt! How pleased she must feel. He would attire himself quite suitably and then call. While he was dressing a special delivery messenger brought him a note. Eagerly he opened it and then Oh! the bitterness of his soul! She refused to give him heed. She wanted to know why he hadn ' t asked her first. She didn ' t appreciate, then, after all, the delicate aristocratic way in which he had proposed. Alas! Alas! His idol was of clay! His goddess was in that one particular at least — common. He must do something! He must see her! Meanwhile he would deny the letter h e had sent to the newspaper. His father sent to the newspaper office asking about the announcement. The report came back that a note had been sent, evidently in his son s handwriting, announcing the fact. The girl ' s father sent to the newspaper office and received the same report. TTie girl denied the fact of the engagement and also that the handwriting was his. His father was equally certain that it was. What could our poor, misunderstood champion do? !p despair at perhaps losing the Girl, he wrote to her to explain everything, begging a thousand pardons and imploring many implores. It was a tormented soul ' s cry for mercy and kindness and regard. He poured forth all the sweet words he was capable of pouring forth, staking all on the last appeal. With an aching but hopeful heart he sent the appeal to her affections, and then sat down to wait. She wrote back an explanation. It was that she had considered him so beautiful a specimen of perfect manhood, so exqui- sitely fashioned, but most of all, had been attracted by his Apollo-like head. With such a shapely head and so beautifully adorned vith curling locks, she had fondly imagined that a mind as perfect must have dwelt within. And then she saw his shaven poll! How- bitter was that sight! Yet she was thankful that she was saved in time, for she could never love a bone-head! And the champion light-weight cf Notre Dame cried out in his anguish, cursing the day he ever shaved his head.

The trees cast great shadows, and the moon was hidden behmd a mass of clouds. It was evidently night. Yes, it was night and from the church tower the clock, which all the time had been Sa.? ] lookmg down on the scene, began to strike. Nme times it struck and then stopped. TTiat is, it stopped striking. Surely It was night. From the windows of Sorin Hall the lights shone out. TTie students were at work. That doesn ' t mean that all of Sorin Hall was at work for not all the inhabitants of Sorin are students. Only the students work. The loafers were not at work. They seldom are. They were reading or talking, and it is even to be supposed that some were smoking in their rooms. This is not allowed but there are those W ' ho smoke anyway and trust to talcum powder as a means of escape. The prefects were watchful. Had they been wise they would have scratched at various doors. But this is not the way with prefects. TTiey always rap. It is considered better form for prefects to rap. Only students are supposed to scratch. And still the clock looked down on this nocturnal scene. One of its faces was turned toward the South. This is a good way for the clock to look. Nearly everything that is doing is to be seen in that direction. The clock hadn ' t been in that tower over thirty years for nothing. It knew in which direction to look. And it was not to be unrewarded. No, for from the South there came a figure hastening through the darkness. It was the figure of a man — not a real man. It was a boy. However, it was a Sorinite. Times have changed and even boys live in Sorin now. TTie clock sighed for the old days. Yes, it was a boy. It was Tom Havican. Stealthily he came along in the darkness. He carried a package. No, not that at all. The pack- age was under his arm. Tom wouldn ' t carry it any other place, because he belongs to the Total Abstinence Society. The package contained weinerwurst. innocently purchased at a butcher ' s shop. Perhaps at the shop of the butcher that put liver on Deiner ' s eye. Tom is a loyal Notre Dame man and would probably patronize that butcher. Steadily he advanced. Tom, not the butcher. The package was still under Tom ' s arm. Weiners are contraband. The catalogue fails to say so, but there are lots of things that they have forgotten to put in the catalogue. TTiey are contraband just the same. That is they must not be cooked in Sorin Hall. Naughty Tom! He meant to cook them. And what is more he intended to eat them. Weiners are good when eaten in the evening. They are better than Welsh rarebit. But Tom must take care, for prefects are watchful. Even if they do rap they sometimes meet one in the hallways. The package would look sus- picious. It must be safeguarded. The deck still looked down and shifted its hands a bit. It was growing nervous. Wise old clock. It knew just what Tom intended to do. It had seen Tom before. So had the prefects. Then Tom stopped. He was near the steps of Sorin Hall.

No one else would listen. Tom know that by experience. Experience is a good teacher. He hugged the package a little tighter. Perhaps a growl leaked out but if it did Tom didn ' t hear it His mind was elsewhere. Oh yes. Tom had a mind. He lived in Sorin Hall. Happy thought. Tom had a friend who was in one of the rooms on the first floor. This friend had a chafing-dish. Tom hurried around to the other side of the building. Again he stopped. Then he whistled. The window was opened. His friend peered forth and saw Tom in the shadow. Tom was glad. His trouble was at an end. He stepped forward and whis- pered. The package was thro vn. His friend caught the package. Yes, he caught it. Why not? Tom ' s friend was Shorty Neble and Shorty played on a baseball team. It was not the only package Shorty had caught. Perhaps he didn ' t belong to the same society that had Tom on its roll of honor. Still the clock looked down. But it couldn ' t see what was going on. Tom was out of sight. So was the package. Likewise Shorty Neble. Shorty had a friend. Shorty ' s friend was in the room when Shorty caught the package. He was visiting Shorty. No, Shorty is not a loafer. He is a Senior in law. Senior laws don ' t have to work. They will work other people as soon as they get out of school. That is what they come to school for. To learn to work other people. Shorty thought he would practice. He saw a good chance to work Tom. He locked the door. Then he got out his chafing-dish. Soon the wemers were in a stew. So was Tom. Likewise Tom was scratching at the door. But it would not open. He rapped gently. No Sorinite will open to that sign. Some Freshman might, but they scon learn better. Shorty was a Senior. O no, that wasn ' t the sesame. Still the weiners stewed. And Tom gave vent to his anger. And Shorty laughed. And Shorty ' s friend anticipated. And then they ate. Tliat is. Shorty and his friend. Tom didn ' t. Tom was still out in the hall. And then the prefect came out, too. The prefect saw Tom. He was a wise prefect. And Tom got demerits. And Shorty and Shorty ' s friend got a good meal. And the clock was peeved because it hadn ' t seen it all. Then it struck ten. DANIELS STE.AUNC HOME IN THE NOTRE DAME-. I1CHIG.- N CAME, APRIL I .

Curtis, returning with the pups, had amused the populace with the sports of the campus to an extent hitherto unknown even m that boisterous Hall. TTie shouts of Mickie had died away; the roar of the Growler had ceased; the last skiver had returned from the village, and the lights in the study hall of the victors were extinguished. No sound was heard save the last wail of some re- turned skiver, telling his story to the incredulous prefect on the watch; and all was still as the campus when the students have departed. In the dark recesses of the Brownson gym a band of skivers were assembled, their muscles still knotted with the agony of running, the foam upon their lips, the scorn of lines still lingering on their brow, when Guthrie, starting forth from amid the throng, thus addressed them: — e call me beef; and ye do well to call him beef w-ho for twelve long months has met upon the scales every shape of man or beast the loud Hall of Brownson could furnish, and who never yet has lowered his bulk. If there be any among you who can say that ever, in public fight or private skive, my actions did not belie my weight, let him stand forth and say it. If there be three in all your company can balance me on the waiting scales, let them come on. And yet I was not always thus, a miniature beef trust, a bulky weight among still more weighty men. My ancestors came from old Berlin and settled amid the shady streets and busy scenes of Louis- ville. My early life ran as undisturbed as the books with which I started; and when, as a youth, I packed my duds and answered Brown- son ' s call, there was a friend, an exile from Cor- by, to join me in my pastimes. We took our skives th rough the same pas- ture, and wrote together our thousand lines. One evening after the boys were folded, and I was seated beneath the flag-pole that shades our ob- servatory, one Bruno, a warrior bold, was telling of Crimea and Russia, and how, in ancient times he, with a little band of elephants, in a defile of mountains, had withstood a whole army. I did not then know what war was; but my dukes burned, I know not why, and I heard the tales of that good man, until my prefect, spying my seat from off his throne, speeded one of his trus- ties to bid me go to rest and think no more of these old tales and savage wars. That ery night the Corbyites landed on our campus and I saw the struggling body of Trumbull flung amid the dashing waters of the shimmering lake.

LEVELS -:- TRANSITS To-day I ducked a man in the Brownson gym, and when I heard his stirrmg words, behold, he was my friend. He knew me, smiled family, gasped and muttered; the same sharp word upon his lips that I had heard when, on Thursday after- noon we walked the Three I tracks to see the town, and were given a hundred each in fiendish triumph. I told the prefect that the dripping man had been my friend, generous and brave, and I begged that I might ask his pardon, to make him again my friend and forgetful of my misdeeds. Ay, upon my knees, amid the 4 ' s and lemonade of the gym, I begged that poor boon, while all the assembled Preps, and Freshies, and the rabble shouted m derision, deeming it rare sport, forsooth, to see Brownson ' s huskiest rough-houser turn pale and tremble at the sight of that dripping clay ! And the prefect drew back as if I were polluted, and sternly said, Let the Corbyite dry; there are no dry men but Brownsonites! ' And so, fellow rough- housers, must you and so must I dry like dogs. O Rec ! Rec ! thou hast been a tearful nurse to me. Ay, thou hast given to that poor gentle Brownson lad, who never knew a smaller pants than 52, hundreds of skives and thousands of lines ; taught him to pick his way through crowded streets and nearby alleys, and beat it in the face of his prefect; to skive classes and flee to the St. Mary ' s car, even as a child to the arms of a smiling mother. And he shall pay thee back until the study hall is abandoned as Sorin on Sunday, and in its deepest silence thy memories lie dead. Ye stand here now, like rough-housers as ye are. The strength of Bruno in your toughened sinews; but to-morrow some alert prefect, scattering lines from his abundant store, shall with his resounding voice call you in and heap them on your head. Hark! Hear ye yon Corbyite roaring in his rage? ' Tis three hours since he tasted rough-house, but to-morrow he will vent his rage upon your head, and a Weiner Party for him ye will be. If ye are yellow, then stand here like skivers waiting for the prefect ' s lines! If ye are rough-housers follow me! Turn out yon light, gain the Corby campus, and there do bloody work as did your warriors on old Cartier! Is Brownson dead? Is the old rough-house spirit frozen in your veins, that you crouch and cower like Tubby beneath his master ' s lash? O, Skivers! Rough-housers! Brownsonites! If we must fight, let us fight for ourselves! If we must rough-house, let us rough-house the Corbyites! If we must write lines, let it be for a worthy cause, — in noble, honorable rough-house.

Cleary: — I think that it was Professor Hot-Metal who said that. Professor: — We have no such an authority on Shakes- peare. Ledgy: — Perhaps he means Moulton of Chicago! Bucher (growing heated over the prospects of a dry vic- tory) : — Any man that ' s ashamed to be seen in a saloon is a fool! Cleary (condescendingly) : — Why, I ' m ashamed to be seen in one, and I ' m not a fool. Bucher (disgustedly) : — No, you ' re an ass. Ed. Note: — We earnestly exhort the Total Abstinence Society, of which Mr. Cleary is the distinguished and capable head, to get after Bucher and bring him into the true fold. SOME HISTORICAL RELICS. Student (showing some visitors around the library, points to two small stones) : — Here, ladies and gentlemen, are two small stones. As you look at them they seem to be valueless but they couldn ' t be bought with all the wealth of a Standard Oil Mag- nate. The first one is the stone which Eve threw at Adam when he came home late from the club. The second is that which Caesar used to sharpen his sword as he crossed the Rubicon. Visitors (in chorus) : — Oh my, ar ' n ' t they wonderful. (Whether they meant the stories or the stones is hard to guess.) ®1| piiilaiiHiJltta Is Headquarters for Notre Dame Men CHOICE CANDIES, iCES and SODAS mini J LiHifflslaKgs ' U h e House of Purify TT ie House of Purity BROTHER COLUMBA Sells SHOES MADE BY J.

Chapter XX of The Deemster (Not by Hall Cain) THE night before, Walker had slept in McMahon ' s room, and the night before that in the apartments of the great Dane. As he retired to rest, he had a confused idea of what Bro. Martial had remarked on finding him in bed at 9:45 A. M. His sleep was troubled and through that awful night he was strangely conscious of an approaching calamity. Yet, strange to say, he was this night sleeping in the apartments of the Bishop. Towards morning his sleep became less troubled and he sank into a deep slumber just as the sun rose in the East. Promptly at 10 o ' clock Bro. Martial arrived. He made no effort to conceal his entrance. For, he had already found Bucher in bed; had visited the imperial apartments and gazed on the calm features of the sleeping one. Walker moved uneasily, and presently awoke, opened his eyes, and saw Bro. Martial, and betrayed no surprise at his presence there. Ah! Is it you. Brother? he asked, speaking quietly, partly in a shamefaced way, and with some confusion. Do Editor ' s Note: — While preparing for the debate the members of the team were often forced to stay up late. On these occasions Walker was unable to get a car to reach his then residence with Forest Ritter and stayed in the Main Building. On the first occasion he slept late in Mc- Mahon ' s room and was therefore criticised by Bro. Martial, who was unable to make the bed. The next night he slept with Deiner and was very severely spoken to by the Brother in the morning. Finally he was forced to sleep in the bishop ' s room. The scene described in the parody is exactly as it took place on the occasion of the discovery of Walker at 10 A. M. you know, I have been dreaming of you — you and Ritter? The Brother gave no answer. Because sleep is a holy thing, and the brother of death, whose shadow also it is, there- fore Martial ' s awful purpose had left him while Walker lay asleep on the bed; but now that Walker was awake, the evil passion came again. I was dreaming of what you said the other morning about Pendle. ' ou remember it? You can ' t have forgotten it. Still the Brother gave no sign, but looked down at Walker resting on his elbows. Walker ' s eyes fell from the good man ' s face, but he went on in a confused way — I dreamed that you and Pendle Walker glanced afresh into the old man ' s face, and its look of scorn stupefied him; still he made a shift to go on with the dream in an abashed sort of way. Gad, if I didn ' t dream it all as fresh — the fight in the hall — yes all very clear. Walker had got to his feet, and then seated himself on the kneeling bench and started to put on his fancy hose which he had recently purchased at Adicr ' s in an- ticipation of his trip to Washington. But, once again his shifty eyes came back to Martial ' s face and stopped short. My heavens, what is it? he cried. Now the brother, standing there with a thousand thoughts floating in his brain, had heard little of what Walker had said, but he noted his confused manner, and had taken the story of the dream as a feeble device to hide a momentary discomfiture. What does it mane? he asked, It manes that this place ISAIAH MILLER, President TELEPHONE: MAIN, 290 J. E. DONAHUE, Sec. and Treas. MILLER DONAHUE LUMBER CO.

What? It manes ye must git out. Out? IS, and at once. In the pause vhich followed after his first cry of amazement Walker thought to placate the wrath and religious indignation of this man, by a trick that he had learned at Gonzaga College; so he went on a confused way to ask how the Brother felt — whether he was troubled with his old ailment. I don ' t know, roared the Brother. Walker paused, and there was a painful silence, interrupted only by the noise from the boys on the campus enjoying recre- ation. For, Frank was quickly robing himself and expected to steal quietly out of the room. As he tied his necktie and looked around for a mirror, the silence oppressed him — he felt a choking sensation. What time is it? he asked, as the bells in the church began to ring. I don ' t know, again growled the Brother. I guess I ' ll go said Walker, with an attempt at a smile. I don ' t like to say a word against any man, answered the Brother, but there is one thing I will say, that it ' s a fine condi- tion this University has come to, when they are stickin ' students in the Bishop ' s room — bums and social loafers. ' Frank ' s sunburned face whitened under his lawny skin. Easy, Brother, easy, he said in a vain attempt to stop the approaching torrent of reproach. If you come to this school, you sartinly come for no other purpose than to shieep. You ' re a disgrace to the Ameri- can people. Deiner, Bucher and Lynch are your only friends and associates in this entire building. That ' s true enough, man, said Frank, and his head fell between his hands, his elbows resting on his knees — an old and familiar attitude. Frank got on his feet uneasily and took a step towards the door, but the old man was ahead of him and Frank dared not face his look of just anger. He reddened to the ears and the thought flashed into his mind that if McMahon ever heard about this awful scene life would be unendurable. What were you doing last night? Drinking, gambling, roystering, vis Walker took a step nearer. Before his mind there arose the scene of the night before. Yes, there was Kanaley, Mc- Mahon and another — all smoking Lawyer ' s Daisies — discus- sing the Guaranty of Bank Deposits. What an awful slander of that serious, though mayhap noisy crowd. The quick blood ran to Frank ' s head. He realized it all now. The Brother did not understand. He must see the Debating coach. Already he was an hour late. Stop! stop! he cried. He stood there, his hands clenched, his knuckles showing like nuts of steel. His lip curled into a sardonic smile. But the futility of his act was plain to him. Gradually he rela.xed. The Brother was now making the bed. Quickly he started to the door. The Brother looked up. Go back to the Ritter Mansion, he cried. I wonder they have kept you as long as they have. TTiey ' ll be putting you out in a week or two, I ' m hearin. But, as Walker opened the door and was once more to be free from the presence of this awful man who seemed to read him like a book — free from the words that stung his sensi- tive soul as arrows, he realized that there was someone near him. In the darkness of the corridor he beheld two fleeing figures, and recognized McMahon and Kanaley. They knew all.

The crowds were silent till, McMahon doffed his coat and said. Say, guy, I ' ll t ' row de pill. And then you should have heard the roar That came from Corby Hall. It made the sky-lights rattle, and The Brownson bunch feel small; But Mickey, calm and unconcerned. Stepped m the chalk-lined rmg. And with a smile of confidence. Picked up the little thing. And Oh! such form as Mickey showed And Oh! how he did prance, The visitors all thought it was Some new Salome dance. But suddenly full short he stopped. The audience grew still.

If there be any who escaped let hmi give thanks. The young set of Sorin, Corby, and Brownson were blissfully pursuing their several pastimes with an air of such pleasing naivete, such guilelessness and open candor, that the casual visitor at the U. could not but remark on the ingenuousness of these unsophisticated youths. And then the foul fiend burst upon them. He was agreeable. O so agree- able; benevolence fairly e.xuded from him — or rather them, — as there were two of the wily entrappers. To listen to them was but to respond to their requests, they were so anxious to do the boys good. Thus, like lambs led to the slaughter, were they marshalled in line to subscribe to the magazine and books. In blissful Ignorance of the awful fate awaiting them, they pledged themselves to the two years installment plan which the arch- fiends proposed. Thus was their innocence trampled upon and their simplicity and youthfulness beguiled. For a few months the installments were promptly paid, then they realized the folly of their ways (and means). They had been stung; the books were worthless. It was with a feeling of mingled horror and dread that they anticipated the collector ' s visits. To pass that day of days, so miserable to them, they were wont to arrange little out-of-town excursions, or betake themselves to the woods for solitary meditation on the follies and mistakes of youthful days. Was Scribbler ' s man baffled? Not a bit. No such luck. TTiat grand institution, the P. O. Department was seized upon as an agent for the heartless pub- lishers to inflict suffering and trouble upon the once callow youths, now grown wiser in poverty. Though they had been taught a severe lesson that threatened to sour them forever, still their innocence and simplicity had not been entirely destroyed. Verily, they were not wise beyond iheir own age and genera- tion, but they were learning fast. The first letter, with its formal legal head of the North .American Protective Agency, scared them. This letter stated that the correctness of the debt had been assured and that the credit which the firm had extended, seemed not to have been appreciated. It stated that they (the firm), disliked very much to annoy the boys in this matter and were disinclined to burden them with the extra expenses of a law suit. TTie letter ended with a threat to bring suit immediately. Now notice the candor, the child-like simplicity that this reply taken from Sorin, displays: Siiriii Hall. l ' ' i l . :i, I ' .lO!). Gentlemen: — I am in receipt of a very interesting letter from tlie North Ameri- can Protective Association, informing me tliat I am to be sued on the 2iifli inst. Tiiis letter came as a more or less pleasing diversion from tlie routine of every day college lite and I suppose I ouglit to feel grateful 10 you for Ineaking the monotony of my hum-drum existence. .Xeverthc- less. even though I am mindful of the axiom of ' Bill of Avon that in- gratitude is baser than a serpent ' s tooth, yet I am moved by the exigen- cies of circumstance to enter a mild protest against said action, and to see if I cannot aiTive at a more harmonious agreement than seems to be pleasing to you. most potent, and revered creditors.

Fiend. say 1. you counsel well; conscience , say 1. you counsel well. To be ruled by my con- science 1 should stay with Scribbler ' s, who. God bless the mark, are a sort of devil; to be sued by Scribblers 1 should be ruled by the fiend who. saving your reverence is the Devil himself. Therefore I will be ruled by conscience, and at least try not to be sued. [ hope to make up my delinquency soon, hut not too soon, being guided by Horace ' s motto ' Festina lente ' . make haste slowly, but at least I will attempt to catch up and pay the balance by Sei)tember. If you still think that it will avail you anything to bring suit, then lead on Macduff, and damned be him who first cries, ' hold, enough. ' Most sincerely and very, very respectfully yours. Sorin Hall. In answer to this, a letter came from the book firm, saying that the arrangement to pay the balance by September would be entirely satisfactory, if the boys Xvould not forget to remit on time. With every confidence in Scribbler ' s understanding the case, the reply sent back was as follows: Sorin Hall. Feb. JC. 11)U9. Dear Sirs: — Bearing in mind Polonius ' advice to young Ijaertes. neither a borrower or a lender be, and not having had any money since your last cheerful letter arrived, nor the desire to infringe upon the maxim quoted above; I have deferred sending your money till this late date. In your last letter there is a clause to which I strenuously object, considering it, to say the least (and we should always say the least, as brevity is the soul of wit ), somewhat unnecessarily sarcastic. The clause that I refer to reads — If you will not forget to send it to us on time. This clause is cruel and cutting, and 1 have a very sensitive soul. Please, if you value my feelings at all in this matter, don ' t ever repeat such a statement. Hoping soon to be again the i-eci[iient of one of , our charming notes, or rathei- expecting it and bowing to the inevitable. I beg to remain. Most sincerely and very, very respectfully yours. Sorin Hall. A lapse of time occurred and allowance-day soon cfrew near. A number of the boys received their customary notices of registered mail, and with gleeful hearts and accompanied by a select band of friends, they set out to get their letters, and prepared to spend the money they were certain the letters con- tained. Arriving at the Post Office just a little ahead of the time for the next car en route for South Bend, they presented their notices, and with an eager air of expectancy prepared to receive the money. The letter they received began: — North American Pro- tective Agency — another of Scribbler ' s letters! Weeping and wailing were then the order of the day, as with sorrowing footsteps they returned to their various Halls. No town f or them ! Breathes there a man with soul so dead. Who never to himself hath said On sight of Scribbler ' s agent dread, I ! I ! I I With suit staring them in the face, most of them paid and were broke for a long, long time. One, more industrious than the rest, discovered that the telephone numbers of Scribbler ' s and the A. P. A. were the same, and secure from worry in his knowledge passed the remainder of the term in peace. - .CE.YARD a FACTORY 742 S.MICHiga ST iVE HAVE THE LARGEST LUMBER YA. D IN THE CITY.

Thou bid ' st me follow thee, and so I shall. I see thee still and on thy legs, great gouts Of Hogan ' s blood, which I saw not before. Not so! ' Tis overwork at Guarantee Cf Banks that thus deceives my weary eyes. .Now o ' er Old College Hall, mosquitoes scream And with wile ' shrieks abuse the peaceful sleep Of Seniors. Bloody insects celebrate Pale Hecate ' s offerings with hums, and poor O ' erworked sleepers, frighted by their sound. Roused from their cosy cots, with stealthy treads. Like Dreamy ' s ra ishing strides, move toward their foe Like Brother John ' s white dogs. e creaking boards. Tell not my steps, which way I walk, for fear This humming devil learn my whereabouts And take to flight before the tirre arrive When I can crush him. While I threat he lives! But I shall strike him dead right here, ere long. (The mosquito hums, and Foggy Schneider blows Ins nose) Thy hum in ites me. I strike, and it is dope. Hear thcu not, Hogan, for my blow ' s a knell That summons this mosquito to heaven or to hell.

Prof, (much astonished) : — Why? R. O. C. : — I probably won ' t be able to find him. We didn ' t have even a quorum last night. HEARD IN LOGIC. Professor: — According to the square of opposition is it true that, of two contrary propositions, both cannot be true at the same time, and that both may be false? Kosterman: — Well (after a long pause). Well, Father! If both are true, one of them must be false!

For ten hundred students are going away. With ten hundred heavy and bulging-out trunks All packed and o ' erflowmg with college-boy junk. A navy of trunks and an army of boys. An ccean of fun and a world of noise; A laughing bood-bye, and away to the trains. Another farewell, and then dead silence reigns. The rushing has ceased, and the yelling is still. No longer the street-cars are packed to the siil, A silence profound now holds sway neath the Dome For ten hundred students have skidooed for home. AINT IT THE TRUTH? Kanaley: — I wonder how it happened thit Dreamy went up m the air at the Minnesota game? Kennedy: — Why shouldn ' t he? Wasn ' t it Ascension Thursday? JOKE? Joke Editor (distractedly) : — For heaven ' s sake Cleary, haven ' t you anything humorous up your sleeve? Cleary (innocently). — Yes; my funny bone. Shenk (becoming inspired) : — Did you ever hear that there were sermons in stones, Mickey? Mickey (dubiously) : — No, but there are some great argu- ments in bricks.

Every Student and Friend of Notre Dame should read THE SCHOLASTIC All University Neva ' s faithfully recorded Alumni Notes Special Articles and Bright Verse Subscription $1.50 the Year Needs of Notre Dame DUTY of loyalty incumbent on every student and Alumnus is to dissipate the cur- ious superstition that our Alma Mater is wealthy enough to develop unassisted, and that endowments are not urgently needed. The fact, as we are authoritatively as- sured, is that when current expenses are paid at the end of the year there remain only a few thousand dollars for repairs and expansion. The cost of maintaining the University amounts to almost eight hundred dollars a day, and to meet these expenses there are no resources except the students ' fees. There exist four endowed scholarships and, with the income derived from these, four students are educated. The University holds title to much un- productive land, but that is an incumbrance, rather than an asset. Here are a few things that Notre Dame needs urgently and immediately : A library building to cost $150,000. Two new dormitory buildings at a cost of $60,000 each. A fund for the purchase of books for the library. A fund for the education of clever and deserving boys who cannot afford a higher education. A fund to provide special lectures by men distinguished in all the walks of life. These are a few of the immediate needs of the University; expansion will multiply these needs in proportion. Let the Alumni start the ball rolling. Make up your mind just which of these needs you would best like to supply. If you cannot give $100,000, give $1,000. If not so much as that, send $250 for the purchase of equipment in the laboratory in which you are most interested. A plan is now under advisement for the creation of a special Board composed of laymen to administer all moneys con- tributed to the University.
