Turning his attention at once to teaching he was elected superintendent of the public schools of Tama, Iowa, and later of Mason City, of the same state. Tiring of the monotony of low salaries at that time prevailing in the Hawkeye S-tate, he accepted the superintenc-.lency of a new school, district number ten, in Pueblo, Colorado, in the spring of 1883. In 1888 he undertook the organization of the Tacoma, Wfashington, public schools then a new but ambitious seaport attracting wide attention. and became a pioneer educator in the Puget Sound region. Be- ginning with twenty teachers he had a staff of one hundred and twenty in four years. Meanwhile he established the ward system. secured adequate legislation for a city system of schools, built or rebuilt twelve ward school buildings, devel- oped a course of study, and created a high school of several hundred members. At the last principals' meeting there were almost as many members as in the first gathering of grade teachers. Resigning to accept the presidency of the new Lfniversity of Idaho, on Oc- tober 3, ISQ2, he opened that institution in an unfinished and unfurnished build- ing. The panic coming on it was difficult to finance the university as the legisla- ture had to be educated to regard the wants of a state University, the revenues of the new state fell off, the population was sparse, and discontent and financial distress prevailed among the people. However the University steadily advanced in numbers and influence. Combining the Agricultural College and U. S. Experi- ment the organiation and direction of the University created demands quite out of the ordinary. Upon leaving the University of Idaho he returned to Tacoma and undertook the reorganization and revivification of Wfhitworth College, a de- nominational school about a dozen miles from that city, the village location prov- ing unsuitable. The College was soon put upon a secure property basis, the at- tendance rapidly increased, while the scholarship of the students was accepted by all leading .colleges and universities. ' Resigning from the presidency of this institution, july first, 1905. he turned his attention to business pursuits and was thus engaged when he was elected to the presidency of the University of South Dakota, September 5, 1906, and entered upon his duties the twentieth day of September following. He was appointed by President Roosevelt, in 1902, a member of the Board of Visitors of the U. S. Naval Academy. In IQOI he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy' from VVooster University for post-graduate work done in philoso- phy and pedagogy, his thesis being The Cultivation of the Ethical Imagination. -9, 44AbSe11t Ou Leave.

MAIN BUILDING S The University By Clark jf. l'Y0Illlgv, Dean of the Collage of Arts and SCITUIZCCS. DUCATION, like other functions of. modern society, has been system- Q dll' atized, under the principles of division of labor and specialization, iii? until a point of high efhciency has been reached. It is possibly true 99 7 that the people of our State have not yet come to realize fully that the educational side of our development is most fundamental in the building' of a great commonwealth. lVe have been so busy developing the industrial and commercial phases of our State that we sometimes forget the great im- portance of the educational function. It is possible, therefore, that some people of our State may have overlooked thus far the fact that we are now in the process of building for our commonwealth a great State University. The University stands by right as the head of the educational system and should set the standard of scholarship in science, literature, arts and professional study. The State universities of this country are coming to occupy a unique place U. CHAPEL in our educational system, and their growing importance testifies to the fact that they are appreciated by the people. The prophecy is freely made, by many who are most able to judge, that in the next quarter of a century the State universities will practically occupy the entire field of higher education. In our sister State on the north a significant movement has begun for the cooperation and consolidation of the denominational colleges and the State University. 'Whether or not this plan will be carried to its logical issue and all private or denominational collegec prac- tically merged with the State University remains to be seen. However this may be, tendencies everywhere favor the development of great State universities. It is of more than passing interest, then, to know how far we have gone in the building ot a great university for South Dakota. It has been deemed worth while in a publication of this kind to set forth briefly the present status of our State University and explain somewhat the method of its organization and its plans' of educational procedure. At Commencement of this year, the University will have finished twenty-five years of active existence as an educational institution. Incorporated by the first territorial legislature of Dakota in 1862, the actual construction and organization of the University was not undertaken until 1882. under the initiative of the people of Vermillion and Clay County. The actual work of the University began in the year 1882 when academic instruction was first organized in temporary quarters mm -me swf-3'p.4 .. -.fm sp.: -arcs.: D kr' ' Wg. . we ., .- . .ww 1ryt f W'-. .-15l?'fZ'fWJ??P'lU?2'qr'-,E 192 lffl,:'41ff-.'5,Yi59-Qi5M13i'1fMa1?3-'::Ll, 'Sm-fit, .':1 fffiqx-gf,?5?-.-1:5252 wt Af' ' aQ?fM.iS22iER++-21 fri'-1ei12s,sfir: 1:3 12 I-W.iV-AMR fvfwil'-TMai-1:'Q.,li ' I ' ' 7,5 ,-.-4.w517.p-f., . , N' p Avg- Fvl'34m 1 me 3 f y2',...fgl ' X gxrjf A' l . l -15- providecl by the City of Vermillion. It was not until 1883 that the West wing of the orig- inal main building was occupied, and regular :lass work carried for- ward. Since that time the University has had 11 somewhat checkered career, and it has only been within the last ten years that it has begun to assume the real functions and character of a univer- sity. The University at the present time is or- ganized with three colleges. namely, the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Music and the Col- lege of Law. The or- ganization of the Col- lege of Law in IQOI marked the Hrst sig- nificant step taken in the organization of a greater University. The colleges as thus organized are presid- ed over by Deans, and their work is carried on by independent faculties. The gener- al administration and procedure being in the hands of the Pres- ident under Whose supervision and by whose direction the educa- T tional policy of the institution is formulated and carried out. In addition to these general features of the organization, the University maintains a preparatory course, fitting students for entrance to the freshman year in the College of Arts and Sciences. The steady decline of the sub-fresh- man department marks the increased efficiency of the high schools of the State, but under existing . conditions it will probably be many years before the University will be able to dispense with its preparatory or sub-freshman department. As an additional evidence of the progress of we T the institution toward the status of a university in fact, there should be mentionacl the Depart- ment of Engineering and the School of Com- merce. The Department of Engineering was organized in 1902, and now numbers thirty students and six instructors. including Doctor Alexander Pell, the Director. FLIRTATION WALK lt hasa complete equipment of wood and iron working machinery, and besides this it has extensive laboratory facilites for testing the strength of materials, for electrical measurement and electric testing of all kinds which give adequate in- struction and preparation for the work of electrical engineering. The -courses of study in this Department lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil, Elec- trical and Mechanical Engineering. An appropriation of ten thousand dollars for the next biennial period, made by the legislature just adjourned, insures this Department ample equipment to meet its needs in the near future. Additional in- structors will-be provided and the full four yearls course of professional work in Engineering lines will now be given. The Department of Engineering has met with a popular reception, as its rapid growth testifies, and that it has a large fu- ture before it is assured. The practical demands of the day for men thoroughly trained in the various lines of engineering are such as to make a constantly in- creasing opportunity for this line of professional study. The School of Commerce was organized in IQOO, and now has an attendance of seventy-three students. lts faculty numbers fourteen persons, including Pro- fessor C. W. Thompson, Director of the S-chool. giving a part or the whole of their time to the work. The School of Commerce gives three years of prepara- tory worlc practically equivalent to the work in the academic sub-freshman pre- paratory department of the University, and in addition two years of solid college work. Lines of Economics, theory of banking and finance leading to the degree of,Bachelor of Commerce. Students who have completed this line of work can secure the A. B. degree by taking two additional years of study. The School of Commerce is established in the University is a new departure in educational procedure. It is in answer to the demand for educat- ed inen anclwomen in the place of businessresponsibility. The world of business has come to a realiza- tion of the fact that the college trained man has superior quali- Hcations, and thus in the lines of business management profes- sionally educated men and wo- men are in such demand that the modern school of commerce finds a large field for its work. The College of Arts and Sci- ences has in addition to the above a Department of Peda- gogy giving a Five-year course specially planned to Ht students for the work of teaching and which, when completed, entitle the graduate to a five-year's State certificate. The xvorl: of this department carries the stu- dent through the freshman year of regular work. In addition to this. those who finish the col- lege coure, taking work in Ped- agogy are enabled, under fthe laws of the State to secure a 'ife diploma. The College of Arts and Sei- ences has had a steady growth. Last year the total enrollment of college students was one hundred and sixty-eight. For the present year it is one hundred and sev- enty. The College of Law, organiz- ed in Igor, has developed in the short space of six years in- l to a professional school of high standing and fine reputation under the leadership of Dean Sterling. The enrollment of the present year is fifty. The College has a faculty of seven professors and lecturers. The l graduating class of the pres- ent year numbers nineteen, the largest number ever graduat- ing in any one year since the establishment of the College. A The recent legislature made an appropriation of fifty thou- sand dollars for the erection of a law building. Vtfhen this building shall have been erected upon our campus, as it will be within the next twelve months, and when the law school shall have been established in its own building with its library of ample proportions. it will rank second to no law school in the Northwest. The College of Music, under the efficient management of Dean Grabill, main- tains a high musical standard. It has developed with a steady and regular stride until today it has achieved a reputation in the Northwest which insures its steady growth in the future. The College of Music together with the Department of Engineering will be the next candidates before another legislature for buildings in which to accommodate the growth in numbers and equipment which is inevi- table. The total enrollment of the College of Music for the present year is one hundred. It has a faculty of five members whose entire time is given to the work of musical instruction. In addition to this various members of the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences give courses supplementary to those required in this college. The most thorough theoretical courses given in any institution west of Chicago are here offered, thus giving exceptional opportunities for those who wish to fit themselves for the teaching of music. The college maintains the fol- lowing musical organizations: A chorus and an orchestra under the immediate direction of the Dean, a glee club and various other ensemble organizations, all of which are in a flourishing condition. The Department of Art is another feature of the College of Arts and Sciences. It offers extensive' courses in various phases of art, including Caj an academic course in drawing and paintingg Cbb Decorative composition and designg Qcj Historyuof Art and Cdj Elementary Drawing. A diploma is granted to its stu- FUSSORIAL PARLOR dents who complete in addition to the four-year academic course, a course in com- position and design and the History of Arts. Other phases of University organization which deserves mention are the State Geological and Natural History Survey under the efficient management of Elwood C. Perisho, State Geologist and professor of Geology. The object of this survey is to investigate the mineral wealth of the State and thus assist in promoting its material progress, to collect and preserve representatives of its materials, its fauna and and Hora. The results of the survey are published from time to time for the benefit of the people of the State. The Department will, dur- ing the coming year. publish another one of its valuable bulletins. The laboratories of the University deserve mention in this place. The Physi- cal Laboratory has an extensive equipment of the various apparatus used in physi- --19f .f ART STUDIO cal investigation and experimentation. This laboratory occupies one-half of the nrst floor of Science Hall. The Chemical laboratory is also well supplied with the apparatus and materials for chemical experimentation and investigation and constitutes an important feature of the scientific equipment of the University.. The chemical laboratory occupies the north half of the first floor of Science Hall. The Biological laboratory is well equipped with apparatus adapted to its lines of inves- tigation and microscopes of both American and foreign make. This laboratory occupies the north half of the- second floor of Science Hall. The Department of Geology is establishing-a Geological laboratory with appropriate apparatus and the materials for geological testing and study. This occupies the south half of the second floor of Science Hall. One-half of the third floor of this building is devoted to the University Museum. This embodies extensive collections to illus- trate the work in geology and mineralogy. The University Museum is probably the most extensive and valuable collection of its kind in the State, and the Pro- fessor of Geology plans to make this a representative collection of the fauna and Hora, the minerals and the fossils of this and other States. All in all, the labora- tories of the University testify to the eificiency and ability of the men in charge of them and offer opportunities for scientific study and investigation unexcelled in the State. ' The library of the University consists of upwards of thirteen thousand vol- H20- umes and over two thousand pamphlets. The entire collection is clasified by the Dewey Decimal System, and an elaborate card catalogue is complete to date. The reading room contains something over one hundred newspapers and periodicals and in addition most of the local papers of the State are on its files through the courtesy of the publishers. The recent legislature appropriated two thousand, Five hundred dollars per annum for the next biennial period for the support of the library, including the law library. It is hoped that in the near future the Uni- versity will be able to secure a library building. Another feature of the University which plays an important part in its work is the Department of Military Science and Tactics under the direction of a United States military officer, Captain A. T. Abbott. U. S. A. being at the head of the De- partment at the present time. Instruction is given in the theory of military prac- tice and organization and three times a week the University battalion is drilled in all of the tactics of infantry movement and evolution. The value of military drill can not be denied. It is beneficial both mentally and physically, training to alert- ness and attention and giving an erect and manly carriage. In athletics, the University has already made itself known to the people of the State by the victories which it has won. The new drill hall and gymnasium has given additional facilities for athletic training and an impulse to physical training in all lines. Classes in physical training are organized both among the young men and the young women, the young women being under the instruction of Miss Fee, instructor in Elocution and Physical Culture, and the young men under the direction of Mr. Wfhittermore, Physical Director. In foot-ball, in baseball, and in track athletics the University has achieved many- brilliant victories and is already finding entrance to the field. of competition with-the larger universities of the VVest. Wfith the growth of the University, which is hopedifor in the near fu- ture, the athletic interest will be intensified and the institution will find its proper place as a competitor with th state universities of the Middle Wfest. The debating side of student life should not be omitted in this summary. Last year two intercollegiate debates were held. one with the University of Iowa and one with the Dakota Wesleyan University of our own State. In the debate with Iowa, the University team was victorious. Two intercollegiate debates will be held the present year with the above named institutions. The University of South Dakota, as can be seen by the above analysis, is now a University in fact as well as in name. It remains for the friends of education and all who believe in building a great educational institution for the State of South Dakota to join heartily in any movement which tends to the development and the enlargement of our University. VVhen the people of South Dakota come to realize that this is their institution and that here are educational opportunities to equal any in the VVest, they will not only cheerfully provide for the develop- '-22- inent of the institution in financial ways, but will do that most important thing, namely, send their sons and daughters to receive the culture and training which can here be given. Loyalty to the State and loyalty to the 'University should be the sentiment for the future. . Doctor F. B. Gault, of Tacoma, 'Washington was elected to the presidency of the University at the beginning of the present year. Upon the broad founda- tions that have thus been laid for an educational institution which shall be an honor to our connnonwealth, Doctor Gault is planning to carry forward the work of building the greater University of South Dakota. Perhaps the two salient features of his policy for the present are found CID in his plans to interest the people of the State more fully than ever before in their University, to press its claims upon them, and to familiarize the people with the educational opportunities which the University offersg and C25 his 'fSix Hundred Clubn idea, which is the slogan to rally the friends of the institution to a campaign for a largely increased attendance of students. Wfith a splendid body of highly trained men and women constituting the faculty, with connnodious buildings, with an extensive and elab- l rw-,-.--f11,vx r Q 'I I3 D r orate equipment of apparatus, books, and other material mechanism for educa- tional training and scholarly investigation, with a generous appropriation from the legislature for the next two years, why shall not the University advance to- wards its ideal? .

W., V4 2' ' i SHARLEY NEWBY-Beta Gamma, Scientific Society History of 'OTS N THE Autumn of the year 1903, the peace and quietude of univer- X, sity circles was disturbed by the clamor of the naughty sevens. They, early established a record as breakers of all conventions, as fighters and politicians. They set out upon their career of warfare and de- struction in the beginning of their Freshman year. During that year they startled the community by taking their Junior guests to forest to entertain them. During their Sophomore year they entrtained the students and faculty with a Shake- spearean play, the Comedy of Errors. They were the first class who dared at- tempt to master the comic moods of the i'Swan of Avonf' There was some con- iiict for places in the play, but the sly manipulators of the liberal element won the day and the community at large voted the presentation the best since the University was founded. During their junior year this class of geniuses, quibbled and quarreled from the beginning to the end of the year. The conservative ele- ment attempted to rule but 'fthe powers that bei' threw theireveryT plan into dis- union, chaos and disruption, bringing down scorn and calumny upon a once' noble organization. They were such a brilliant class that the omnipotent and overly dignined faculty dared not entrust them with any public enterprise and would not even permit them to perform the very juvenile task of publishing an annual. The Senior year opened with the old irresistable coniiict. The .liberals scored a point by electing Sweet with a mz'1L01 ity vote. But low and behold there was one among them who broke the power of the mighty ring and whose fame as a politician has gone to the four corners of the State. The first syllable of his last name is -that which babbles and the second finds its equivalent in the latin homo. This modern Aaron Burr wrote the class day slate and all who partici- pated in that event have f'Baby BU to thank. There in brief are the annals of that noble band. Other classes there may have been in the past, other classes there may be in the future, but as long as the sun shines down upon the earth, as long as human society lives, loves, and fights so long will the naught sevens be herald- ed throughout the land as the greatest and the noblest of South Dakota's children. kwa M Qi Senior Biography H.

ROSE WRIGHT, Junior History my EFOREIT begin the history of the well renowned and famous class . I of 08, it would be well perhaps to call attention to a saying of Car- ' lyle's that Ifl'istories are perfect as the historian is wise. and is gifted j with an eye and a soul, and then perhaps you will not expect too much of this Class History as the Historian is neither wise nor gifted in any other way. My only hope is to set forth without prejudice the annals of the junior Class. The class first saw the light in Prof. Maynard's room, under the leadership of Mr. Young. The members had all assembled and the meeting was about to be called to order when suddenly the Sophs appeared thirsting for battle. They were soon satisfied, the war cry was sounded, the old time feud taken up3once more. For a half hour or more the battle raged with terrific fiercenessj The girls in terror took refuge in flight. The janitor in the hope of bringing the strug- gle to a close extinguished the lights, but alas for human hopes. Under cover of darkness the battle raged more terrible than before. One by one the Sophs were forced from the hall. Two of them, however, were retained to furnish amusement for the 'O8's. One was taken to the reading room and invited to dis- play his oratorical ability, upon his -refusal to comply with this request he was gently lowered from one of the windows and ordered to leave the place. One of the Freshman became so attached to the other Soph that he asked permission to take hfm home with him. This proved to be an excellent plan and consequently the prisoner spent a pleasant night in a little home in the suburbs of the city. According to the custom of the junior class. 'o6 gave a reception to '08, Strange indeed were the occurrences of that night. The girls unable to escape from East Hall in any other way quietly came down the fire escape. Some young men were known to escape from giarrets by means of ropes. One member of the 'o8's in his excitement tried a high jump, but being a litle hasty landed on his face, and as a result went about for a week or more wearing a black eye. At first the Fresh- men seemed about to be beaten, but they soon proved themselves masters of the sit- uation.'after at time the Sophs were forced to retreat and then the reception went on without further interruption. The Sophs', made many fruitless attempts to capture the ice cream but failed. The juniors and Freshies were too vigilant. A short time after this the 'O8,s came jauntily into chapel wearing their col- ors but the Sophs left them undisturbed, their nerves had been terribly shattered at the reception and it took some time for their recovery, One more happy event closed the year. The 'o8's entertained the 'o6's at a picnic a few miles from the village on a beautiful green hillside. Needless to say they all enjoyed themselves. In athletics the class were as successful as they were elsewhere. A football game inthe fall between the S-ophs and Freshies resulted in a tie and a base- ball game in the spring 27 to 5 in favor of the 'o8's. One more glorious achieve- ment to the credit of the class, at various times during the year the pink and green floated gloriously from the flag pole proclaiming the victors for the year. Amid excitement and study the year wore on. 'O8's were Freshmen no more, and to make things more exciting they had a new Freshman class on their hands. Many attempts were made by this class to organize, but each time the 'o8's without any-trouble broke up their meetings and it was only through the kindness of the Sophs they were at last permitted to elect officers. This new class was olive green and not very promising. They were children, and they spoke, and acted and thought as children. Their first appearance in society was at a reception giv- en them by the juniors, however, the experiences of the memorable evening went far toward their development. Those events are indescribable. The Soph girls captured the Freshman girls and locking them up into their rooms invited them to change their evening attire for a more comfortable dress. Threats and prayers proved of no avail, the Sophs were determined to give them a lesson they would remember, but a sad accident occurred g one girl in excitement and anger fainted and the Sophs taking pity on them allowed them to go. During this time the boys were not idle. Stealing quietly down the street they entered the store and procured the ice cream which was intended for the reception that night. This they carried to the campus called all the members of the '08 together, a campfire was built and the class assembled to have one of the most glorious informal re- ceptions ever held in the history of the institution, and the best of it was the juniors paid the bills. Of course they were furious and passed many remarks which were not complimentary, but what of that. In March, however, one of the greatest events of the year occurred. The Sophs gave a play. This has become a permanent custom at the U. S. D. for each class to present a play during its Sophomore year. A very high standard had been set by former classes in these plays and it is always the desire of each class to make their play more successful than the preceding one. This year was no ex- ception . The play chosen for presentation, lf I Were King, proved a decided success. The parts were well taken. and the play was thoroughly appreciated by the audience. This with the pretty scenery arranged by the class, with the assist- ance of Miss Fee and the beautiful costumes made it a great success and a credit to the class of IQO8. The rest of the year passed on with comparatively little ex- citement. The Junior year was quietly entered. There seemed to be a tendency toward good habits and a little of the dignity of upper classmen about us. The festivities of the year were opened with a reception given the 'Io's a bright and intelligent class just entering the struggle of college life. The reception was a success. A few Seniors made an attempt to break up the meeting, but it ended in an attempt. Two Seniors, so the story goes, tried to steal the refreshments from the Juniors but became badly frightened by some twigs breaking under their feet which they mistook for a pistol shot. However this may be, it is a well known fact that they ran a race that night which broke the speed records of the College. THE DISPENSARY Junior Biography MARGARET NIILLER-Nwfltdl het' heart tli-inks lieif tongne speaks. -Margaret is another product of Vermillion High School and the University preparatory de- partment. S-he is a member of, Alpha Xi Delta and vice president of Y. VV. Her major is English because she always admires the English professors. Mar- garet can hardly wait to leave this sordid institution to enter a more famous col- lege where she can associate with those of her own class. She is a good student when she condescends to attend classes. ERNEs'1' BAIL- He lzatli ct stern look but at gentle l16G7'l.JJ-MT. Bail is one of the few juniors who are interested in debating and he won sixth place in the preliminaries this fall. He is an engineer and a member of the Iasperian, Scien- tific, and Skull and Cross Bones societies. As university editor of the Coyote he has made himself a public nuisance by having pictures taken at all sorts of incon- venient times and places. His scholarship is of the highest rank but his modesty prevents him from showing it. . ETIIEL BRINK-H,jSlfLCl'B is little of tlie inelanclioly elenient in lie1'. -Ethel is one of the East Hall girls who do their best to keep life from becoming too monotonous there. She comes from Pierre High School and took a prominent part in the class play last year. She is a charter member of N. E. VV. and is especially fond of reading Riley's love lyrics. y GRACE BURGESSiH5l16 taleest most delight in innsic in5tri-liiie-nts. -Miss Burgess has lived in Vermillion all her life and has attended the U. a good many years, taking most of her work in the college of music. This year she decided to identify herself with the junior class and was received with great rejoicing. She has attained distinction on account of her beautiful voice, and last spring took a leading part in The Mikado which was given by the University chorus. ALBERT Pl.-XDLEY-Nl n fciitli lie is ct wortliy gentleznan, exceedingly well rental. Mr. Hadley has lived in Vermillion all his life and has attended ithe university since he entered as a preparatory student. He is a -lasperian and last year took part in the Sophomore play. He carries about four hours more work than the maximum number allowed and always gets high marks. He is especially fond of argument and so intends to study law after taking his A. B. degree. BESSIE HADLEY-'A laincl liecirt slie hath. -Bessie like her brother Albert, has attended the university for many years. She started in wfith the 'O7's, but stayed out and taught a year in order to finish with 'o8. She hasnlt fussed since her sweet Freshmen days and spends much of her time at home. She, too. took part in the Sophomore play. I-Ii5I.1sN Trxki:1s1.L-f'If ladies be but young and fflilif, they licwe the gift fo lanotu 1'f. '-Miss Helen is a product of the XlV2l.tC1 EOXVI1 High School. She entered the 'University of South Dakota in IQO4, and being endowed with rare musical ability. enrolled as a Sophomore in the College of Music. Under the excellent instruction of Dean Grabill she made rapid progress in her work. and at the end of the school year she gave a recital and received a teachers' diploma. The next year she thought best to join the class of lo8 of the College of Arts and Sciences, and being an ernest worker is at the present time trying to prove herself not equal to the rest, but better than the best in the pursuit of knowledge. S-he is an Alpha Xi Delta girl, also a member of the Y. XV. C. A. cabinet, She has become capti- vated by a Senior, and is frequently heard to remark- All's well that ends well. L11.L.x 'lS.XRl3El.L-ncllllif you src I'm lonely? -Tliese sad words are often heard from the lips of a certain young lady from Wfatertown, S. D. At that place she received her education previous to her entrance into this institution of higher learning. Her chosen subject is English. She was intitated into the mysteries of the Alpha Xi Delta sorority in her Freshman year. During the first two years of her college life she was a regular in the ranks of the Hard Fussers -this year, however, she has retired from active service, and the mail clerks are com- plaining of the heavy mail to and from lloston. NELLIE blOR'1'ON-uf 0,111 a 'ZL'01lIUfllv, ZL'l1l'1I I think, I 1Illl5f spmk. '-After finish- ing the Sophomore course in the College of Music Nellie deserted the Musics and entered the College of Arts and Sciences. She joined our class last year and was rewarded by being allowed to take the part of a court lady in the class play. She is oneyof those who try to curb the spirits of the more venturesome members of 'o8, and she complains of the East Hall girls because she thinks they like to run the class. BER'1'H.x NAGEL- As 'l7lC1'l'j' as the day is I011g.' -After graduation from the Vermillion high school, Bertha entered the preparatory department of the Uni- versity and ever since has taken a very kindly interest in the affairs of other University students. She has very little interest in fussing or society affairs and perhaps that is why she is so happy. She is bright and intellectual, but does not believe in overwork. ll'lARTI-IA Ot'CoNNoR- The jroefs eye in cz. zine frenzy rollizzg doflz glance from lieaven to earz'h,' from earflz to l1eae'e11. -Tliis is Matilda's state of mind since she was appo-inted literary editor of The Coyote, but we hope she will re- cover when The Coyote goes to print. Her preparatory work was done at St. Josephs academy and the College of Music. She is very fond of vocal music and is one 'of Miss Coffm's most promising students. OWEN PUCKETT-HM 6771 of few words are the best rrtertfj-According to this standard Mr. Puckett must be very good, for he has very little to say. Vermillion high school prepared him for the University. He is a Iasperian, an engineer, and a member of the Skull and Cross Bones Society. He is thought to be a descendant of Ichabod Crane because of his striking resemblance to that noted personage. ELsn3 S.-XRGENT--HATETJB7' at a loss for wordsf'-Elsie obtained her preparatory education in the preparatory department here and spent last year at VVells. She decided that there is no place like U. S. D., so she returned to finish with the 'o8's. She is a T. B. D.. a member of the Y. W. cabinet, and assistant editor-in- chief of The Coyote. Her greatest accomplishment is her ability to make others work while she directs. . HELEN SCROGGS-HIS she kind as she is fair? -Helen, realizing the advan- tages of attending U. S. D., left the University of Iowa last year to come here. She is an N. F. VV., and is art editor of The Coyote. She found the restrains of East Hall too burdensome and so is rooming in town this semester. She is dis- loyal to her own class in that she fusses a Sophomore, an Irishman, a very valiant gentlemanf' ' DAY TURNEY-nf have touched the highest point of my greatness. -Mr. Turney has reason to feel thus, for he was made junior president in the fall of 'o6. His home is at Mitchell, but he had the good sense to choose to come to the University instead of staying at Dakota Vtfesleyan. He is a Iasperian, a member of the Skull and Cross Bones Society, and one of the University's stand-bys on the track. He also won distinction in the class play. He is a fine student and his constant companion is his book bag. CLIFFORD VVOODXVORTH-Nz47'ld whafs his history? A blank, my lord. -Mr. VVoodworth has spent all his life in Vermillion and has attended the University for both preparatory and academic work. The registrar's books say that he is a junior engineer, but he has never been known to come to class meeting. HARRY VVOODWORTH- A soldier firm and stout of heart. -Mr. Woodworth took his preparatory work here. He studies if he is scared into it, but not other- wise. He majors in science and is a member of the Scientific and Theta Eta so- -50- cieties. I-Ie has won a monogram on the track and took the responsible part of one of the guards in the class play.

P red Muhmel F RESHMEN HISTORY T THE commencement exercises of the high school or academy the is-to-be Freshman is told by the speaker of the day to set his mark high, to hitch his wagon to a star, to be content only with the top round in the ladder of fame. The youth who has been thus admon- ished soon has a vivid picture of himself standing on the top round of the magic ladder. In scholarship he will, without a doubt, surpass any who have yet entered the University. At graduation did he not write an oration that was pronounced by all his friends, far and near, as the best literary work ever produced by a high school graduate? In his fancy he sees himself covered with glory for his many achievements in his studies. Every man who enters college is an athlete g he has been a baseball captain. sometimes a sprinter, or a football hero. He has, no doubt, but in college he will be a football star and passes many pleasant hours picturing to himself the game in which he will win the day by some brilliant play. He hears the people in the grand stand shout his name and sees the faces of a dozen maidens who have de- signs upon him, beaming with delight at his success. How significant, how inspiring school life would be if all these fancies could be realized, but there are only a few instances where they turn out as planned. First, there are other students in the class who have been building the same kind of castles, and who are working hard to win prizes and honors. Then the Soph- omores unjustly and ignobly beat down the hopes and aspirations of the Freshman. Those Sophomores have reached the point in life where they have very little hope for the future, either in this life or the one to come, therefore, they hate to see others prosper, and do everything in their power to hinder those who are to reach the top round in the ladder of fame. In athletics he is again disappointed. He finds that there are men in school who have more prowess on the football field than he, and all his hopes for praise and honor vanish like a june frost. Thus the early dreams of the Freshman disappear, one by one, and for a time he loses heart, but he soon gathers up new courage and things begin to look brighter for him again. In the fall of I9o6 several youths and maidens independently proposed to make the University of South Dakota their Alma Mater. They claim the distinc- tion of having the largest first-year class in the'history of the institution. Realiz- ing the truth of the statement often made that there is strength in unity. they formed an organization that at once excited the admiration of all who knew them. As they go about in their school routine their thoughts wander to the dim future when they, too, shall' immortalize themselves by publishing a Junior Annual. A FR12sr-IMAN.

Heff is unduly modest, sensitive and shy, except when in the presence of any human being, when he feels it his duty to explain Creation. from Alpha to Omega. He disdains to use a single word when an ora- ifon will answer, and contends that language was made to utterly obliterate thought. He is recognized as one of the strong debaters of the university and made the Creighton team in his first year. Wfith Heff there is no such word as fail, for his whole heart is in his work.

He campaigned in 1896 for free silver, but of course other things helped to defeat Bryan: yet his retreat was covered with such a maze of oratorical flowers that he could not be tracked. Melvin has always delivered the goods, is thorough and profound, and his Alma Mater will some day number him among her most distinguished.

He of course was taken in and has ever since been one of the staunchest members of the class of 'o7. Coop has been on every football and baseball team since he came and is sure-headed and reliable. He goes out this year with the class of 1907 and intends to return to his native Canton where, if every sign does not fail, he will forge to the top. CHARLES HEGLUND, like the wise men came from the East, and, more wise than any of them, he stayed and entered the law school in 1904. Heglund believes that time is precious and hence covers the distance between breakfast and the uni- versity in about four seconds. Too long association with Tom Lyons and Heffron has gained for him a record for verbosity which he does not deserve. He spends as much of his time in hard study as any man or woman in the department, and no one doubts that his industry and perseverence will have its reward in the future. BJARCUS PLIN BEEBE, who traces his ancestry back to Ioan of Arc, received his early training in East Hall. He claims to be the hero of Pilgrims Progress, but this has not been absolutely authenticated. According to Plin, the most im- portant of the world's events happened in the vicinity of Ipswich. He this year receives his second degree from the University and he commands unbounded faith. He is a Phi Delta Theta. and has gained honor for us on forum, track and field. ROBERT CAWLEY BAKENVELL is a strange mixture of Platonic philosopher and Senior law, the former predorninating. There is a bitter quarrel on at present between Plankington and Pumpkin Roads, Arkansas, as to which must admit his birthplace. Bake'j knows many of the law' faculty by sight, and has a fine legal library, consisting of The Lives of the Saints and Innocents Abroadf, He is said to have been a member of the committee that revised the New Testament. Hailing from a family of lawyers, there is no doubt from his record here that the future is his. He belongs to the Beta Gama fraternity. JOHN WESLEY RAISH carried mud for the first stone of the institution. He was strongly talked of for president, but finally decided to enter the preparatory department, from which he graduated in 1905 with honors. jack is an authority on South Dakota history and remembers 'Sitting Bull when he was a boy in knee breeches. Vlfith Mattingly, his lifelong friend, he is now seeking a location for practice and will probably locate in Vlfakonda, the home of W. 0. Knight. Jack knows the ine are of keeping silent and usually speaks through an interpreter. Seriously, however, he has the merchandise, and we have not in our midst a bet- ter thinker, or one more profound. VVatch that smoke. He, too, is a Phi Delta Theta. GEORGE VV. BUFFINGTON left his sheep in the Nebraska hills and with a full supply of red. white and blue slate pencils left that state about the time that Ne- braska began to reform. Buff is already famous, and in a recent suit made an eloquent plea, but under the Nebraska Code thirty days was the maxi- mum. He spent two years iyn the law school at Lincoln, and the Dean thereof asked for a permanent injunction to restrain him from leaving, but he is destined for higher things. His record here is G. K. He sees and he knows, and can point out the very stone on which Blackstone stumbled. He cannot be kept down, for ability willalways assert itself. Mlss MARJORIE BREEDEN blossomed forth at Pierre, our capital, and after lin- ishing the high school came here in 1904. She is -our only girl and sometimes finds it hard to keep order in our obstreperous household. Her scholarship is of the highest rank, and we all agree in the unanimous sentiment that she is about the finest girl we know. Gentlemen, to the health of Miss Breeden.

He migrated from the United States and came ot South Dakota in umptyump. He seems to have contracted the very foolish habit of study of which the professors seem unable to break him. Contributing in large part to our athletic victories in football and track, he is a staunch supporter of the U, As to his future let john Marshall look out for his laurels. DORAN HOLLIS'fER SUTPHEN hibernated in the sage bush near Miller, and kept coming until he reached the University of South Dakota. In his case the meta- morphosis has been marvelous. Wiiiniiig the scholarship prize in his freshman year, he has retained the same high standard of excellence throughout his college course. W'hen the bench of our state reaches its highest perfection he will be heard from. His chief claim to distinction, however. rests in the fact that he is the brother of Percy T. PERCY TRUMAN SUTPI-IBN lirst fascinated our modest society in 1904, having made his debut at Miller somewhat earlier. He has cherished dreams of con- quest from childhood so he entered our midst in a speckled vest and Rome was free no more. Percy is a prompt and conscientious student, like his brother, and will some day ornament the bar of our commonwealth. He is a Phi Delta Theta, like his brother Doran. T1-1oM.xs DANIEI. LYONS-TlliS name will shine when Burke and Welostei' are forgotten, but not until then. Among other bad habits he has contracted Democ- racy in its most violent form, and has substituted for Divinity the name of Thomas Jefferson in the Lord's Prayer. He can state a principle of law in such a manner that wayfaring man, though wiser than Solomon, cannot understand the same. and as an example of his powers it may be said that he can recite upon the contents of a book wlthout having opened its covers. l.-'le probably represents more hot air to the square inch than any other man in the republic. But Tom has done good work. He won the highest honors of his class and school at the University of Notre Dame both in debating and oratory, and was on the team that defeated Beliot by a unanimous verdfct. Since coming here he has lead the debating team of 1906 against Iowa and helped to win the greatest victory in debate our univer- sity has ever achieved. And besides, he stampeded the Democratic convention in 1906 by a very' eloquent speech and was nominated on that ticket for State Su- perintendent of Public Schools. It is not too much, we think, to say that he is the best debater and one of the most brilliant students the university has known. BERNARD HIRAM BQATTINGLY began talking in Maryland in the early eighties, and since that fatal hour neither God nor man has rested. In IQO5 he came to the University and registered as a -luniorg next day the governor was strongly urged to call an extra session of the legislature. Many have remarked the strong resemblance between him and Edmund Burke inasmuch as Burke talked incessant- ly for twelve years. After more mature deliberation, however, the chief executive has refused to honor requisitions. Mattingly has held many ofhces of distinction and honor here, and his scholarship. and persistence ranks him among the best students of the law department. No matter where he goes, there will be news from that locality. VVILLIAM OSCAR TQNIGHT, the Sage of Wfakonda, came to the University on a velocipede in 1905. He at once converted this peaceful burg into a forum for the dissemination of his crackerbox philosophy. After his exodus the vigilance com- M -61- mittee of 'Wakonda immediately disbanded. Sometimes he shows almost human intelligence and we almost forget, but ever and anon comes his effusions and our natural optimism fllckers and almost dies. He went to Iowa for the purpose of helping our team against Iowa, and since that victory can have anything he wants. Bill is original and has ideas of his own. He is at present the president of the Debating League and has been accused of holding 'the candle when the chapel seats disappeared. Det Bill possesses that rare quality known as grey matter. Is1A11 SHERMAN CooMEs has had a checkered career. He came over from Iowa between two days. He, however, has been back there since for the purpose of abducting one of Iowals most popular and accomplished daughters. His bail bond there is still in default. He has just retired from the presidency of the Ster- ling Law Association and 'twas there he was instrumental in discovering Matting- ly. Coomes carries confidence with him always and can have the best the Uni- versity affords. To say that he is a senior is much, but to say that he is one of the first rank pfaces him in the superlative degree indeed. Coomes is as popular as he is studious. JAMES IN. FOVVLER is also a product of the Black Hills, and was inflicted upon us in 1905. He came with good credentials and enough high school medals to shingle a cow barn. He was on the point of coming to us in 1904, but Providence intervened. jim was once suspicioned of studying in his room, but on being call- ed up before the Faculty and accused, established by alibi that he was in the VVest part of town. Since then he has been closely watched. Notwithstanding moot court, studies, athletics, fussing. choir, Sunday school, the Fourth of July Mand- skor and the coronation of Kink Hakkon, jim has found time to carry off the class honors of the second year and has all the suspicions of a winner again in 1907. He is one of the most versatile persons in the University and his marks in the short dashes will not soon be forgotten or broken, either. Brookings dropped a cold deck on us when in 1905 Sherman M. Duggan left that famous institution and entered the junior Law Class of the UU. The face reflects the soul, saith the philosopher, and Duggan's countenance is a composite reflection of insurgency,,' sediousness and anarchy. He can put on a holy ex- pression. but has not been known to do so. Bluff is his gospel. 'He has no music in his soul, and is fit for treasons, strategems and spoils, far more sweet to him than honey in the honeycomb is the warble of his own voice which goeth by day and night. He is the only living surviver of the stonehammer age, and the ham- mer, though somewhat worn, is still in good repair, thank you. He expressed in- tentions of entering the ministry. but the combined protests of all lovers of relig- ion dissuaded him., Dug is president of his class, a good debater and an athlete, and one of our most genial members. More power to his elbow, he will always have our warmest affections. -.681 S V i w f m 1 S p a i I 5 , R. L. FLICKIN-GER MAX ROYHL . VV. M.

The tendency to analyze, classify and synthesize obtained prominently in all the sciences and in all arts. Before any idea, work or organization could be accepted, it was considered necessary to apply the sifting process. That spirit still lives and ever moves to challenge, to estimate, and to decide. It is generally agreed that to it no objection. in the broadest sense, need be brought. When regulated as it would regulate, this disposition may be highly desir- able and eminently advantageous. But the signs of the times lead one to believe that, whatever may be the trend in general, in literature in particular, the tempta- tion to dissect, anatomize, and censure not frequently leads to an undervaluation of the work considered and a failure to derive the profit and pleasure that might accrue from a more catholic and generous comprehension and judgment. Indeed, one often feels that truth and fairness are sacrificed to surprising statement and unwarranted smartness. To get a reputation for wit or originality, the critic seems to lacerate without cause. A writer who perhaps intended to ap- peal especially to the fancy and the imagination may be examined and rated ac- cording to the impresson that he makes upon pure reason, or an author who wish- ed more particularly to satisfy the intellectual may be called into the court of the reviewer because he does not minister sufficiently to the emotions. In either case there is a reduction to the imposition of a critical feudalism. The force of this tendency may be observed in some of the less favorable esti- mates that have been made from time to time with respect to the poetry of Henry W. Longfellow. In truth, it would not be impossible to find illustrations of the censorious spirit in some of the articles recently given to the public on the occa- sion of the centenary of the birth of that American bard. Une learns, for instance, that the poet under consideration, failed to infuse into his verses the intellectual and the enduring. that he penned the expression 'of no new thought, that he ren- dered no new solution of the problems of life, that the obvious and conventional have been simply restated, and that the poet's work is pretty largely edification set to music. It is asserted that his popularity is very considerably due to the at- tractiveness that he has given to the moral and the commonplace. In fact, one critic makes bold to say that Longfellow's readers 'fhad never realized before how beautiful were their quite commonplace ideas, and to infer that the poet who had shown them this was therefore rewarded in his later years with an almost em- barrassing homagef' Poor public! Une fears that it might be excused for think- ing of such a statement as partaking a little too much of the self-pluming and the altitudinal. . It may be admitted that Longfellow had what appear to some to be literary -ss- faults, but it is difficult to believe that these defects are as stale, flat, and un- profitable as certain adverse statements might induce one at first to suppose, es- pecially if poetry consists largely in representing in measured words external na- ture and human thoughts, both relative to human affections giving lingering and immediate pleasure. Throughout his career as an author Longfellow enjoyed the highest esteem as a scholar and an enviable recognition as a poet, not only at large among the people of the United States and Great Britain, to say nothing of other countries, but also among such distinguished men of learning and taste as Wash- ington Irving, WVilliam Cullen Bryant, Nathaniel ltlawthorne, Daniel Welnster, Henry Clay, Wfilliam H. Prescott, Charles Suinmer, john Greenleaf NVhittier, Ralph Wfaldo Emerson, james Russell Lowell, George VVilliam Curtis, Oliver 'Wendell Holmes, Charles Dickens. Wfilliam M. Thackery, Alfred Tennyson and VVilliam E. Gladstone. It will be recolleeted readily that these were men widely diversified in character, intellect, and general ability, and yet they all praised the poetry of Longfellow. They recognized him ungrudingly as a man and as a writer, and one is constrained to think that they must have been attracted because of several reasons other than the fact that they were moved by the beautiful ex- pression of commonplace thoughtsf' or the genius to 'ftell a story and paint a picture. Did they not discern in the distinguished American the cosmopolitan urbanity of the traveler, the breadth, understanding, wisdom and balance of the scholar, the artistry of a poet of sympathy deep and unbounded for all mankind. of beauty exquisite and refined, of grace unerring and inherent, of lyric power and naturalness, flexible and melodious? In o-rder to understand the mind and heart of Longfellow, it might be profit- able to overlook at first some of his literary shortcomings to which attention has so persistently been called and to endeavor to find out his aims and motives in poetic composition. The individuality of an author coupled wth his artistry may make permanently fine and attractive that which in prosaic form would pass as undeserv- ing of notice or esteem. Numerous proofs of thfs truth may be found in such confessedly master writers as Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare, Milton. Browning and Tennyson. XV hat, then seem to have been the peculiar nature, scope and ob- ject of the poet? Ts he strongly individual in his work? Turning for information to the opinions of those who knew Longfellow best as a man, one finds that his first and strongest impulse was that of sympathy, that, while he was not a demonstrative person, he diffused a radiant influence of hope, cheerfulness, and solicitude. VVhile there was no insipidity in his character, he had a tenderness and a gentleness that were the outgrowth of an inherent char- ity toward human nature, which he knew well and of which he possessed a lib- eral amount. He was keenly appreciative of humor and pathos. He had emotion and passion, but those feelings were always governed by the composure of con- templation and judgment. His love of beauty, visual or phonetic. did not keep him from taking a uniformly firm position in behalf of learning, justice and free- dom. He did not think so much about hfmself as about others. He had suffered surely, he had known distress, but he arose triumphantly over his grief until 'Lonly the sorrows of others threw their shadows over him. Furthermore he had one other attribute which is not infrequently overlooked-a genuine affection for the romantic. 'i'He loved the fwz'IzTgl1t that szzwouhds The border-Iatzzd of old 7'07'7'LCU'ZfC6,' TfVhere glitter' f1UfllZ7L'7'h?, helm and lance, And banner waives, and t1 zm'Lj9et sounds, Avid ladies ride with hawk 07'L,'ZU7'i5f, And mighty tva1'1'1'01's sweep along, lllaguified by the jnizrple mist, The dusk of CGl'lf1l7'f6S and of song. This romanticism was as heroic in spirit as it was attractive in expression, and that heroism is vofced frequently. The temper of the quality in Longfellow is well defined in his Castles in Spain. where he says: How mach of my yazmg heart, O Spain, Went out fo thee in days of yuref Wliat d1'ea.111s 1'0ma4zzfic hfled my 17771-'i7'L. i Amd suiizmolzed back to life again The paladins of C f1Gf7'f871'LCl-g7 lB, . The Cid Campead01'. This love of the poet joined with a faith in the future permeates his verse to charm, encourage, and ennoble. VVhile he did not lack in intellectuality, he ex- celled in imagination. Although he had a copious mind, he maintained that the poet should appeal more especially to the sensibility, and was often heard to say. It is the prerogative of poetry to give pleasuref' For his exquisite exposi- tion of this belief he has been censured, even when strong antecedent authority had give him abundant reason for his position. Such, then, was Longfellow the man-sympathetic, thoughtful. gracious, gentle, undemonstrative, romantic, and heroic. He had learned from nature and from books alike, and he left his impressions, his lessons, his pictures, and his narratives to be interpreted in poetry that at its best abounds in beauty, melody, and exaltation: Songs of that high art VVh'ieh, as the winds do in the jfihe, pFi1zd an a-hswea' 1.11 each heav't. lt has been said that this bard had no new message. Is that assertion strict- ly true? Early in life. Longfellow wrote to his father, I most eagerly aspire after future eminence in literature. My whole soul burns most ardently for it, ...88, and every thought centers in it. These are the words of one possessed of zeal and purpose, The aspiration of the youth was surely fulfilled in the scholarship and humanity and poetry of the man, and just so surely did that scholarship, that humanity, and that poetry shed a new light upon an ever pertinent theme, that of humane culture and undaunted uprightness, and thereby convey to those more particularly addressed what was virtually a new message in an earnest and inspir- ing manner. That message, elucidated and emphasized, has left a lasting and beneficial impress upon American life and American literature. If Longfellow offered no new solutions of the problems of life, his poetry adorned and illuminated many of the old explanations. If at times his lines lack strength and sweep, it is to be remembered that they are the expression of one in whom noble virtues and refined feelings acted as restraints. If the poet is devoid of the unrest of Byron. of the frenzy of Shelly, it may be only just to recall that humanity in his case has purposely been separated from fretfulness and fury. If he indulges in the obvious, he has remarkable amplitude of comprehension. If he fails to perceive the mysterious spirit of beauty. he attains unto the rapture of it. If he deals with the conventional, he gives it a new and peculiar dignity. If he abounds in editication set to music, he sings that edification which is always timely and never old. If he loves the commonplace, he also has the power to transform it with singular genius. What he lacks in fire, he atones for in gentle gravity and sweetness of spirit. XVhere he fails in passion. he surpasses in serene emotion or rhythmic energy. It may be granted that he frequently mixed his metaphors and that images crowded into his mind so rapidly that he often failed to sift themg but on the other hand, he more frequently combined his images so that the result is music to the soul as well as to the ear, while the artistry is charmingly exact. That he was not devoid of humor may be seen in reading 'fHiawatha, The Courtship of Miles Standish, and several of his shorter poems. To the statement that his poetry is not intellectual and enduring, that poetry it- self together with the popularity that it has continuously enjoyed gives a flat con- tradiction. In fact so scholarlv is some of Lonfffellow's verse that he has been J , b criticised for being given too much to bookishness, but the numerous allusions in his writings, which are a part of the fruitage of a wide and ready culture, have given pleasures to many a student while the occasional ass5milation of older ma- terial is ,sufficiently improved or individualized to make it an integral part of the poet's workg for he seldom fails to observe keenly the evanescent shades of thought and emotion that might be easily overlooked, and all is somehow idealized and made doubly appealing because of a kind of bewitching fancy and tranquil imag- ation. However, the dominant impulse of the man is also the most impressive in- ternal attribute of his poetry. His verse is eminently sympathetic, and in this regard it is indisputably excellent. His grasp and presentation of the thoughts and sentiments common to the successive centuries have helped greatly to mould the minds of men and women and to give a human direction to the faculties. He addresses the heart with ,a felicity difficult to surpass. To those in despon- dency he sends a message of courage g to those in despair, words of hope 5 to those in affliction, lines of endurance. With theyoung in particular he had a notice- able sympathy, and the ambitions -and aspirations of youth were never treated by him with coldness, contempt, or indifference. To him the thoughts of- youthwere ever long, long thoughtsfj often experienced and thoroughly understood. He does not wail and lament in ostentation, but hevstrives to lessen sorrow and to abate anguish. He unites kindness with cheerfulness, andileaves a feeling of ex- alted serenity. With this sympathy there is usually present a mood of reverence or contemplation. One often feels that he is reading at times the words of a friend who has heard the roll of the ages. The tenderness of the emotion, the sweetness of the reverie, blended with the sustained melody of the verse, carry the reader away through long reaches of sadness and delight, where by way of the fancy intellectual beauty dissolves into the moral truth. It has been said now and then that all of Longfellow's poems point a moral, but the proofs of such a declaration are customarily restricted to a comparatively small and recurring list of selections. The poet's works, taken in their unity, will show that the moral is rarely thrust consciously forward and that it emanates naturally from the treatment of the theme. He combines art with moral elevation 3 and while that combination may not be necessary in poetry. it is certainly permis- sible. Longfellow arouses a respect for truth and fortitude such as shall bear the soul up amid the trials of life and inspire it with a firm confidence. He inter- twines the threads of the ideal with those of the actual. 'All the rna-ny sonnds of natnre Borrowed sweetness frorn his singingg All the hearts of nzen were softened By the pathos of his mystic,- For he sang of peace and freedom, Sang of been-tty, love and longing,- Sang of death, and hfe nndyingf' This sympathy, elevation, and contemplation expressed in exquisite and faith- ful cadences are found again and again in Longfellow's poems, but to the writer of this article the following lines from Hiawatha have long seemed felicitously illustrative of that wistful and plaintive harmony: Then they buried Jllfinnehahaj In the snow a grave they rnade her, In the forest deep and darksorne, Underneath the rnoan-ing hernlocksj -90- Clotlzed lzer in lzer rielzlest garments, lVrapped lier in her robes of ernzine, Covered lzer with snow, like errnine, Tlms they bnrieol lldinnelzalia. And at night a fire was lighted, On lzer grave fo-nr times was lsindled, For lzer soul npon its journey To tlze Islands of tlze Blessed. From lzis doorway Hiawa-tlza Saw it bnrning in the forest, Liglzting up tlze gloomy lzeinloclesg From lzis sleepless bed uprising, .From tlze bed of Minnelzalza, Stood and watclzed it at tlze doorway, Tlzat it might not be C.l'iI'lLg1lZ.5lICd', ilfiglzt not leave lzer in tlze darleness. 'Parewelll' said lie, Min1zelzalza! Farewell, O my La-ngli-ing lVater! All my lzeart is buried with yon, All my flioiiglzts go onward with yon!

Soon my task will be completed, Soon your footsteps I slzall follow To tlze Islands of tlze Blessed, To the Kingdom of Ponem-ali, To tlze Land of tlze H67'6Gfl87'.l,J Vllhile sympathy is the leading teinperamental attribute of Longfellow's verse, melodious elegance is externally the most noticeable quality of his style. He uses every metrical form, and selects with marked delicacy and accuracy, words that will most appealingly suggest or convey his thoughts. The wind sighing among the trees, the softly warbled song of the pheasant, the rippling Waters of the brook. the heavy roar of the lonely sea, strains of sweet. distant music, the silently falling snow, the homelike, flickering firelight. the shimmering moonbeams, the forsaken harvest field, the mouldering, vine-clad abbey are all bodied forth in mellow, rythmical, and often impassioned poetry. He tints his phrases with the art of a painter, and employs Figures iu color and design Like those by Rembrandt of the Rhine, Half darkness arid half light. ' An artist in the manipulation of form, color, sound, movement, and aroma, he is especially apt when he blends two or more of these requisites. To illustrate see how when his mind reverts to the vanished glory of the Moors, he writes: Avid there the Alhambra still recalls - Af'laddi1i's palace of delight, Allah il Allah! through its halls Whispei's the fourttaiu as it falls, .The Darro darts beheath its walls The hills with .S'7t07,U are white. Evangeline contains numerous passages especially beautiful in form, light- inggfrelationship and harmony, one of the finest of which is the following: Beautiful was the night. Behii-td the bla-ck wall of the forest, Tijzjniug its suuuuit with silver, arose the uioou.

To Longfellow music is the prophet's artl' and one of the most magnificent of Godls gifts. It rises and falls in mellifluous cadences throughout most of his poems, So he wrought in the world, and when his work was finished, he passed to be a little nearer the Master of all music. Witli his sympathy and his ele- gance set to melodies that will always appeal to the minds and hearts of the greater number of the men and women of the land whose literature he adorned and honored, he helped to associate earthly life with glory and immortality, an achievement that certainly entitles him to enduring respect and admiration as a man and as a writer. There is abundant room for him in the history of American letters. No man has yet been able to take his place. In adding to the excellent in literature, in assisting humanity to understand itself, in uttering his convictions in regard to art and nature, he has done much to present life and conduct in their perspective and true relationship. In nearly all his works there are tokens of the composure and reticence characteristic of the classic, soul-expanded Grecian. In his poem entitled Nuremberg, Longfellow pays a graceful and loving tribute to Albert Durer, proclaiming his belief in the lasting fame and iniiu- ence of the painter who so wonderfully linked artistic genius with impressive spirituality in his Christian Martyrs in Persian and 'fAdoration of the Holy Trin- ityf' These are his words: 'f.F.l'e1'e, when arf was still 1'eIigt1'011, with at simple, rerxerent heart Livecl and labored Albrecht Differ, the Evangelist of Arty Hence '1'7'Zf silence and -in. sorrow, seekfvzg' for the Better La-Md.

So one may now write of America's popular, eminent, and beloved poet, who for twenty years lived and labored without a murmur under the shadow of a do- mestic grief that could not be assuaged, peuuing some of his hnest thoughts and most enduring lines, journeying' toward the Better Land.

CONFESSIONS OF A MISCREANT It is a matter of common knowledge to University men that during the nights of May Ioth, 17th, and 19th, 1905, eighty-eight pounds of U. S. powder were fired on the University campus, but inside history of the affair is not so well known. Cf the two, old Rodman rifles, standing in the cannon-house, one was known to be spiked, and the other was thought to be hopelessly rammed with earth, stones, and an old charge, primers had no effect on it. A certain freshman one day took an old clinker-cleaner from the VVest Hall boiler-room and proceeded to assail the cannon. He succeeded in digging out a board, some dirt, and a considerable amount of a peculiar, brown substance that burned slowly when a match was applied. Satisfied that he had cleaned the bore he borrowed a brace and bit and bored out the priming-hole 5 then he applied his lips to the hole and had the satisfaction of seeing a puff of dust fly from the muzzle, A That night he bought a pound of powder and some four feet of common fuse. He made three charges of his pound, putting the powder into paper candy sacks, a quarter-pound in each of two and a half a pound in the third. Accompanied by an unsophisticated prep the freshman began operations. He rammed home a quarter-pound sack, rammed in a newspaper for wadding, and then thrust a short piece of wire through the priming hole into the sack to expose the powder to the fuse. Somewhat in doubt as to the possible performance of his artillery the freshman inserted a full foot-length of fuse, and immediately after lighting it, he and the innocent prep went and hid behind the ash pile. A quarter-pound charge does not make much of a noise and no one was the wiser for the lone freshman's experiments that night. He fired his other candy- sack charges, and went quietly home, for being a freshman, he knew it was not wise to advertise his presence at the hour of midnight. That was in the winter and as spring came on the freshman often discussed with his two chums. a junior and a Sophomore. the rumor that somewhere about the HU there was an hundred pound box of good, blow powder. He also com- muned with two other freshmen. one of whom was the evil genius of VVest Hall, and the result was that during the day of May 9th one of these other freshmen, came upon the coveted powder, hidden under a mass of rubbish in the old pump- house. The night of May Ioth the three freshmen I-Tl, Wi. and B-, dragged out the precious box from its bed of rubbish and opened it by lantern light. Wlith inexpressible joy they gazed on the evenly arranged gray-white bags. Hlhfhat would the captain and John lrlerndon give to see this P and they chuck- led a triple chuckle, and walked solemnly around the box, stooping now and then to linger the treasure with loving hands. But they saw they must get it out of the way, it would be out of the ques- tion to Ere one hundred rounds that night, and besides they had no primers- true B- had six feet of fuse, but it was uncertain at best and too slow. So H- found a pair of overalls, and these he took and severed the one leg from the other, and into each leg he stuffed twenty-four bags. Then W- and I-li carried the remaining fifty-six bags down under the then unfinished Armory. After hiding the box all three inspected the gun-room windows and found one unfastened. H? gave Bi a leg and B- emerged presently with all the rammers he could find, some whole, some broken. W? had in the meantime secured one of Nylen's pails. Then they began to do business. The procedure was simple. A bag Cthey were cautious at first and fired only pound chargesj of powder, well rammed, then all the sod they could get into the bore, and a four or five-inch fuse. They didn't do a heavy stunt that night, for their fuse ran out, and Hern- don came upon the scene, but it is said that the gallant Adjutant acted like a gen- tleman and a scholar Cand the rest, you knowj and possibly I. Herndon knows how the last charge of that evening was Hred. Some inquisitive juniors were about, also some ungodly preps. but they learned nothing and went away much mystified. The next day the Captain found one of his precious rammers missing, that is, half of it was gone, the freshmen fired it into the slough and it is there to this day. During the night of May 17th, the three freshmen aided by a sophomore and a red-headed prep, fired a few more rounds, but exhausted their stock of primers. So they laid plans to over-reach the Captain and the infant Herndon and get a box of primers. The sophomore, who was a non-com., had sprained his ankle. So when the -95- assembly sounded on the 18th he approached the Captain, taking care to adver- tise how a man feels when badly wounded, and begged off from drill. Now there is a little closet in the Captain's office, and it is full of mysterious things even to this day, and there were more then. So the sophomore was filled with longing and crept into the place of terror, only to find the battalion Adju- tant attempting to fill the Captain's seat. Now a non-com. had no conceivable business in there at that hour and julian immediately smelled a rat. He said nothing, but the non-com. felt, as he moved about the room, that the Adjutant was watching him. The hour was passing swiftly and there seemed to be no possi- bility of raiding the closet. Suddenly came the Captain's stentorian voice, calling for his Adjutant. julian, with a last suspicious glance at the innocent sergeant, assumed the position of a soldier and charged out upon the battalion. As the Adjutant went out the non-com. made for the closet door, he found it unlocked, but some minutes elapsed before he found the coveted primers, As he emerged from the closet julian came in followed by three or four cadets. ju- lian was wise in a second. Oh, no you don't, he cherupted gleefully. I want you to understand, my dear fellow, that those primers are United States property. You know the penalty for lifting Uncle S-am's goods. Now the non-com. knew the penalty full well, for did not the Captain tell the battalion every day of tht maximum and minimum, so he assumed a penitent air, and remarked that he was just looking them over. Then he tossed the box to one of a group standing near. julian made a pass for it, but the cadet passed it on to another and so it was jug- gled about just out of the excited Adjutant's reach. At last it was flipped into the hands of a cadet who passed it to the sophomore non-com., the latter thrust it behind him and up under his blouse so that his belt would hold it, at the same time making a motion, as of passing, toward a cadet at his left. WVith line pres- ence of mind this cadet made as if to thrust the box into the breast -of his blouse. The frenzied Adjutant saw the move and at once embraced him fervently, and as julian explored the blouse of the innocent cadet, the lame non-com. slipped out with the primers. That night there was much rejoicing among the three freshmen and their allies, nevertheless they decided not to celebrate that evening. fearing the ven- geance of the Adjutant, and the nightnof the 18th passed quietly. But in the evening of May Igth came the astounding news that the cannons were to be taken away by the VVar Department. A hasty council of war decided that forty-three pounds must be fired that night. At mid-night W- found the rammers were gone. The work of the Ad- jutant was evidence, but freshman ingenuity rose to the occasion, 1-1-1 found a long steel bar and the last salute began. They f1red two pounds to the round, and their gun-work, while not technically perfect, left nothing to be desired in point of speed. When they had only a few rounds left a fat prep came up from the town and suggested that the gun be moved up between University Hall and the Armory. The effect would be much better, he said and his counsel seemed good, so they dragged the gun along the old roadway to a point midway between Miss Fees office and the reading room. One discharge greatly enlightened the embryo ar- tillerymen, and they dragged back the gun and counted the dead. Fourteen or fifteen windows were cruelly slain in this famous sortie-some one had blundered and the concensus of opinion placed the blame on the fat prep. The sophomore, said nothing, as eminently befitted a second-year man, but the freshman said harsh things to the fat prep. Him they called chosen names, and catalogued his ancestry to Adam. Then they fired the remaining rounds and went each to his bed. And that powder-it is not all gone yet. W'hen W-- goes home he steps into the back closet and views. neatly laid on a shelf twelve pounds of cannon powder. It may come handy and as yet no opportune time has turned up to use it. And rumors from the west say that l-Ile brothers have been slaughtering rabbits with that explosive for the last two years.

A LEGEND Many moons ago, there dwelt by the First Son of the Father of the VVaters two fierce tribes, the University-Tots and the Down-Town Aggregation. Their hearts were hot against one another and from the moon of the falling leaves till the moon of the budding blossoms, the young bucks danced the war dance and the war paint was never washed from their faces. Cnce at sundown as the Down-Town Aggregation were preparing for battle and, Tolly-like-the-Bacon-rind was sitting apart in his tepee preparing medicine with which to destroy the rivals, the spirit of the mighty She Vlfolf appeared and gave to him a turtle shell and said, O brother of bright imagination and skin like the bacon rindf' here is the sign of your conquest. Then did Tolley-like-the-Bacon-rind, shake the magic rattle and muttered prayers and wrapped himself in the sacred wolf skin, killed by the sacred Krag Jorgensen in the dark of the moon. The hearts of the Down-Town Aggregation became glad when the great chief Tolly-like-the-Bacon-rind, did tell them of his vision, and when he promised them that scalps in numbers should be theirs, and there was great rejoicing and boasting in the camp of the Down-Town Aggrega- tion. Then did Tolly-like-the-Bacon-rind send a challenge to the University-Tots, whose totem is the Coyote, written on the skin of the sacred porker, written with the quill of the mighty eagle in the blood of the packing house product. Then from the council of the braves of the University-Tots came forth a defiance from the great chief llfilliam the wild. And straightway joined the mighty tribes in battle on the sacred campus in the land to the University-Tots. Fierce was the conflict and much blood did flow but the medicine of the Down- fown Aggregation availed them not. in vain were the incantations and l11L1ttC1'- ings of the medicine men. Ringley-the-fleet-of-foot, and Hedlin-of-the-pedal- extemities, and Charley-with the enlarged cast-iron cranium. Fierce were the war crys of the tribe of University-Tots and their battle songs caused the knees of the Down-Town Aggregation to tremble and their hearts quailed like the hearts of women. Many were the scalps taken by the tribe of University-Tots and even the sacred hand of Wfilliam-the-wild did lift many a gorgeous forelock. Many were the fences broken and the cattle loosened to the cornhelds as a result of this encounter and the very earth did tremble when Tolly-like-the-Bacon-rind went down. Many were the indignties heaped upon the captives of the University-Tots and the squaws openly derided them and in their tepees there was no dance of victory that night. Heralds of the newspapers proclaimed the defeat afar and all the tribes did wonder at the power of the-great University-Tots. Next morn as Tolly-like-the-Bacon-rind did drag his wearied and bruised body across the blood strewn battle ground to his wigwam draped in mourning. the spirits of the air refused to succor him and he did wend his weary way withs- out sympathy and his tender soul did suffer. As he lifted the Hap of his wigwam and cast his eyes upon the sacred wolf skin wherein he had deposited the medicine of the turtle shell, he saw it carried away by the spirits of the ancestors and in return did the mighty 'Ilolly-like-the- Bacon-ring. Tolly-of-the-injured-soul see deposited there-a goose egg. A STUDENT'S TRIAL On a cold and wintry morning In the halls of the Univi, All alone in a sultry corner Stood a student forlornly.

Creeping forms come softly stealing, Along the hall to the stairs, And by the doors left unguarded, Step out into the balmy air. . Now they have met the others, Each couple seeks their favorite lair, Some sit near, and some go strolling They seem to be everywhere. But Lo! VVho stands in the doorway?

Trazzlslated from the G.-?7'7ll-G72 by AZ Fred Denzzeyz I come from haunts of snare and guile, I make a sudden sally, I loiter here and there a while. Then home again I rally. Full thirty lies I swallow whole, And whisper them to neighbors, Imake a mountain from a mole, And never cease my labors. -102- eetinb 011. At last and late I fairly hum, To scheme some fresh endeavor, For men may go and men may come, But I plot on forever. I mutter on the cement walk, VVith every turn I bubble, I scent in every aimless talk, A lot of moil and trouble. Wfith many a plan my mind I fret, I nurse my darling treasure, And many a pipe-dream I beget, VVith scarce a moment's lesure. I chatter, chatter as I go, To hatch some fresh endeaver, For men may come and men may go. But I go on forever. I wind about and in and out. My venom freely trailing, And here and there I start a doubt, And here and there a failing. And here and there a gossipls tale, Sustains me as I travel, XN'ith many a loose piquant detail, To make the quiduncs gabble. I draw them all along and lo! I gain my fond endeavor, For men may come and men may go But I plot on forever. I steal by lawns across the lot, I creep by back door covers, My dog alone betrays the spot, My sure retreat discovers. -103- I slip, I slide, I break a leg, To climb the last band-wagon, I grub, I spy, I fairly beg, To get a social jag on. I murmur under moon and stars, By hedges and through by-ways, I linger till some rumor jars, Me back into the highways. Then up again I bob serene, To plot some new endeavor, I move in wondrous ways unseen, And so jog on forever. A COLLEGE INCIDENT I-Ie was a member of the Senior class and through all his College career no one ever yet accused him of fussing. In fact he was so dead to all excitement of any kind, he earned the name of Sleepy, I-Ie was tall, wiry, very shy and seemed to have great difficulty in talking to ladies. However the day of reckon- ing was at hand and Mr. C- was soon to be forced to submit to the inevitable. It was a clear cold night in December that he met his fate and by his actions piteously displayed the fact that he was after all only a poor human being. I-Ie was strolling leisurely down the dark streets of Vermillion, very probably con- gratulating himself upon his own qualifications when nearing one of the famous electric lights characteristic of the streets of this beautiful little village, and ad- vancing into its stream of light. a girl, coming from the opposite drection, also came within sphere of radiance, and he saw her face! Very few people can look upon a face in a crowd and know that it carries for them a message, but it must have been with telegraphic suddenness that the face of this preparatory student etched itself upon this poor Seniorls conscious- ness. I-Ier face was not beautiful, but perhaps the suddenness of the shock of surprise gave an extra value to the force of an impression which seemed at the time so overwhelming. I-Ier large expressive eyes looked him full in the face, as she passed by, with the attention one naturally gives to a stranger one meets on the street. Then she passed on. The poor fellow so suddenly afflicted with that dread disease called love, stopped short on the street and with no definite idea in mind of what he was doing turned and followed her as though she had called -104- him. On and on they went up one street and down another until finally she reached a church door and went in. His hat was off in a moment and he fol- lowed her up the aisle, seated beside her before he so much as reflected where he was. All during the service the poor fellow remained like one in a trance gazing at the girl he had followed. Xfvllfill the service ended she arose and passed out and he followed helplessly. Things began to assume a rather serious position for the poor Senior. He tried several times to speak, but failed and nnally gave up in despair. It was then that the lady had compassion on him and broke the embarrass- ing silence, Because, as she afterward declared, She just felt that he was speechless in admiration. Her first remark only caused him to look scared and turn crimson and she almost gave up the idea of conversation but then decided to try again. Do you live here ? She asked. Yes, he said, Yes,,' Oh yesl' he paused for a moment and then added as if by inspiration Yes, Yes P she said. Oh yesf' he answered eagerly yes, The conversation seemed to be getting interesting. 'fDo you enjoy school work ? was her next question. Oh yes, he replied. yes, Yes and so they continued until they reached the young lady's home. VVhat the outcome of this interesting episode will be I am not prepared to say, but it is to be hoped that it will result satisfactorily. Perhaps this worthy Senior will not recover from his embarrassment and the young lady will some day forget that it is not leap year and ask the desired question, and I can almost assure you he will answer 'fyesf' THE DESPERADO OF THE U. S. D. Have you heard the story the students tell Of our desperado ?,' No? Ah VVell- Brief was the glory that hero earned Briefer the time he to home returned. He was the fellow who won renown In that famous race in our College town Wlien the Juniors took the Seniors down. He never tried to fight that night But ran for his home pretty fast alright. That was the night when the naughty 'o8's -105- At a reception that was great Entertained the Freshmen in solemn state. I might tell how but the day before The desperado stood at the Varsity door Looking down the village street VVhere in the midst of his peaceful thots The voice of a freshman to his ear was brot. And it gave to him a joy so sweet, For he heard their plans for that very night. And he began to think of a fight. Since he was a Senior so big and strong He would make the plans of the juniors wrong. Steal their refreshments, beat a retreat, He thot that would be a daring feat To accomplish out in the open street. Such ideas a student earns VV ho never minds his own concerns Troubled no more by fancies fine Than one of the real desperate kind. Not old fashioned or matter of fact Not slow to argue, but quick to act That was the reason, you'll see at first sight He ran so well on that terrible night. And it was terrible. For on the riO'ht Raged for hours a heavy fight Thundered the Iunior's war cry loud Followed by Sophs'I and Seniors proud Wliile up above the battle was on The desperado below was ready for fun Quietly stealing down the street Some of his comrades he went to meet. With faces brave and smile so sweet They went to steal the junior's treat But the man whom the '08's had chosen as guard VV as ready for work which might prove hard. Thinking all was clear the boys approached The desperado acting as coach, Heled them up to the very door Like a pilot taking a ship to shore. 6 -106- Soon the door opened and then with a start Those brave little boys very quickly did partg To add to their terror so loudly and clear The crack of a pistol was heard in the air Now where was our leader before very brave Ah! still in the lead but afraid of the grave. Leading them on, ahead in the race, No definite goal, but away from that place l' They met and jumped fences here and there 7 And in terror and anguish straight stood their hair. Wfith faces as white as the whitest of plaster. On, On they ran faster and faster. And twigs breaking beneath their swift tread, They mistook for a pistol, shot over their heads. So on they ran. You know the rest The rest of the Seniors backward pressed Broke at the Hnal charge and ran And the desperado,', a wiser man Ran straight to his home to the arms of his mother A more frightened man there was no other This is the story of that night This the moral a Junior would write In lighting your battles the questions whether You'll show your bravery in all kinds of weather. -107- WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS BE Sharps an jflats Jfor Stubents wnlxg FOOLS RUSH IN WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD. -109- SENIOR CLASS ELECTION Meeting in Beta Gamma house at half-past three. Evans, Sweet, Eager, 'iRed' Lyons, Newby Eickey. FICKEY :-Now, let me tell you, it's a foregone conclusion that all our crowd will be elected, but we want some System about it. Now letme tell you, we'll fix them this way. Eddie will call the meeting to order and suggest that we at once proceed to election of orator, class historian, etc. Eirst thing Dwight gets up and nominates me for oratorg you will all cheer and cry VVard, NN ard, speech, speech. I get up and make a neat little speech, thanking the class for the honor 5 and Eddie then declares me duly elected. Oh, it's sure to work g all that's necessary is for you fellows to remember the cheering and above all things call for the speech. QEvans breaks inj. Say, that looks good, but you know some- thing might go wrong and wouldn't it be a good stunt to have another candidate in case some of their bunch should think VV ard not elected. I-Iere's Red -he isn't so good an orator as VVard, but Red,' is a good fellow and it seems to me we ought to give him a show. IEAGERII-SIJTCQ give Red a chance and. say fellows. I'll lead the cheering for 'Ward lfVatch me, and when I open my mouth cheer like the devil, but don't begin before I do. NEXXVBYZ-Tl13t,S settled, now who do we want for class poet? If you fel- lows haven't thought of anyone-why, I propose myself. I Hatter myself that I have a little ability along that line. You have all heard that sweet little thing I composed on the dead cat over in the lab. , SWEET :-That was darn good, Harley, but do you think it would be quite regular to give things like that on class-day? N EWBYS-CErigidlyj-Like what? SWEETS-CConfusedj-Wfell-why, like- well you know, to give a poem about a dead cat. NEWBX' :-And why not? Can you imagine a more touching sight than an unfortunate cat lying in a sink, with its eyes and claws decorated with portions of my epidermis? I tell you I will have the whole house in tears ere I have given twenty lines. SWEET :-Maybe, I hope so anyway. Q NEWNVBY :-Itis all right fellows, Eddie and I have arranged the poet deal. EVANS :-I-Iow about class-historian? I want that myself, so let's go on the next and thatis the invocation, and whom do we want? fSeveral voicesb-Red, Red. EVANS :-All right, Red it is. Now who will present the colors? EAGER:-We want a fellow who is polished and graceful, I think I'm the man-three cheers for me. -110- RED: --W'l1O do we want for the prophecy? Sw1213'r:1-Wfe all want Sal, don't we fellows? QEve1'ybodyj-You darn whistle. EAGER:-Xhfell it's all settledg let's hike. All go. After a few minutes julian crawls from under the bed and goes out. Mike Brookman's room. Five o'clock. -IULI.-KN Qgiving Mike details of the Beta Gamma meetingj-I heard every- thingg it was darn crowded under that bed thoughg three or four of them on the bed and the old springs were so weak that they came down on me two or three times and about squashed me. MIKE:-You always were rather thin. Herndon. must have been hard on you. JULIANI-ZRalfl1C1'Q yes, and the air was bad toog some of Fickeyls shoes were under the bed. i IXIIKEI-Lxllfl you are still alive. XVhat endurance. But tell me about their plans. JIULIAN 1-'Well there isn't much more to tell. If they succeed in running Fickey in as orator everything will go their way. BIIKEI--.illl my dear I-Ierndon, what discernmentg anybody can see that you have studied nursery rhymes and stenography. Ye gods and little fishes! You yourself shall be orator, my dear Herndon. IULIAN :-Oh, Mike. MIKE:-Yesg you shall. I know that your modesty forbids your making known your great desire for the place, so I will elect you. Of course you can't talkg everyone knows that the veriest rube is a Demosthenese compared to you, but we don't care what we put in. It being our chief desire to see all places filled on the class-day programg so listen while I read to you the names of those who will be elected this evening. CI-Ie readsjz Orator-I. Herndon Julian, Class Historian-E. A. Mcliachran, Class Poet-Abigail Ronne, Invocation-well we wonlt need that, but in case they should want it, I'll take it myself, Valedictory- Louise jones. I-Ii Beebe will present the colors. I-Ii looks like a prep and the people won't know but what the prep is giving I-Ii the colors. That's about all, isn't it? JULIAN :-Hold on, who is to make the speech of welcome? MIKE:-Ye. gods! I hadn't thought of that. I suppose we ought to have someone who can really say something decent and I don't see how we can ar- range it unless we bribe some junior. VVell. we will let that go and trust to St. Martin, the guardian of idiots and children, who is the patron saint of the Senior class that all comes out for the best. Run home my dear I-Ierndon and get some- thing to eat, for this evening you shall be elected orator. Cjulian goes outj. -111- N IWURRAY fmuttering to himselfj :-I-Iow I'll rim them! lfVhat Samson did the Philistines won't be a circumstance to the way I'll do them-and I'll use my own jaw-bone too. Ye gods! think of f'Kentuck giving the oration-of all the jokes! Let's see, Louise jones will do for the valedictory-sweet thing. McEachran, of course hasn't the faintest conception of the functions of a class- historian but I'd rather see him have it than to let it go to Evans. Theylre a bum, old bunch, that Y. M. crowd, but the others are beyond even my powers of de- scription. And Hi will present the colors-Lord have mercy! I hear I-Ii now, Gee whillikens, preppy, here's our old rag. But they would put up Eickey and that would be worse. I wonder if I couldnit handle the invocation. Itls purely a matter of form and I could memorize a few hymns and sling them around, they'll think I'm a D. D.-and thatis no dream. VVell I must practice a few hymns. Eight in the evening, at University hall. All seniors present but f'Mike. SXVEETZ-T116 meeting will please come to order. You all understand that the purpose of this meeting is to elect class-historian, orator and such others as shall appear in the class-day program. Nominations are in order. EVANS Cgetting upj :-Mr. President, I nominate our illustrious class-mate. Mr. Ward L- QMike comes in carrying a Y. M. C. A. banner and singing. '1Blest be the Tie. Evans sits downj. MIKE:-VVh.at is this? Mr. President, did you open this meeting with prayer? ' SWEET :-I regret to say that we did not. MIIQEZ-YOL1 should have done so by all means. Now, Mr. President, I move you that we have prayer before any business whatsoever is transacted. ' SELMA V:--Second the motion. SWEET :-You have heard the motion and its second, are you ready for the question? FICKEY C jumping upj :-Wliat does that mean? I never heard anyone say that before, and- C Eager drags him down and whispersb : Shut up. Don't show off your ignorance before those barbs. CVoices call for question. It is put and carriedj. SXVEET :-And now who shall offer prayer? MIICE :-I suggest myself. ' FICKEY Qexcitedlyj :-I-Ie. VVhy, why, let me tell youg he's nothing but an ungodly engineer-he-him-why-let me tell- NIIKEZ-rIIll3l17S a vile misstatement-a most unmitigated and unwarranted prevarcation. I'll admit that I worked the faculty to a fare-you-well on my credits, but I would have you understand that I get an A. B. this year and I venture to say that my knowledge of Greek Mythology is amply complete to warrant my putting up a style of prayer that will compare favorable with anything any of the Beta Gamma aggregation can put up. Furthermore, I can pray my -112- gentle classmates to a standstill any day in the week, so Mr. President, I again suggest myself as being the Senior most fit to offer this invocation. EVANS fobtains Hoorj :-I object to any scheme whatsoever whereby that reprobate shall be allowed to invoke blessing on this meeting. He is more like to call upon us the spirits of the infernal regions. I-Ie has not ceased since en- tering this University to oppose the honored Association of the Beta Gamma and the simple faculty. l-le is known to have worked every Prof. in this Institu- tion without consulting their wishes in any way whatsoeverg he is known to have consulted with the down-town muckers, and to have actually lent physical aid to those who maliciously threw our fellow class-mate, Mr. Beebe, into the village horse-trougl'i. Furthermore he is known to have devoted himself to a milliner living in the village. showing by such action an utter disregard of the feminine members of this class all of whom are devotedly attached to him. And now, Mr. President. it is perfectly clear that that monster of a Brookman cannot be al- lowed to offer the invocation this evening and I further suggest that, as every member of the class wishes to offer this prayer and bitter dissension must result if any preference be shown we dispense with prayer, much as it grieves me to suggest it, as everyone can testify who knows me. I put this as a motion. CLELAND:-In the interest of that perfect harmony which has always char- acterized this class I second the motion. CQuestion is put and carriedj. SXVEETZ-NO1'lll1121lIlOllS are in order. Qjulian whispers to Mike. XNfatch Eager's mouthj. EVANS:-Mr. President, I will now conclude the nomination I was making when interrupted by that shameless creature. Erookman. Fellow class-mates, for the place of orator we desire above all things a man skilled in the art of Cicero, Demosthenes. and Elrodg a man to whom every pro- fessor in this great Ifniversity can point and say: I never knew that man to study-his mind is too greatg a man second to none in those attributes that go to make the typical college man-such a one I present to you in the person of Wfard Lorenzo Fickey. CEvans sits and Eager is about to cheerj :-Now, Fell-??. IXIIKE :- There a land that is fairer than - ' CLELAND 1-I object to the singing of sacred songs in this assembly. ABIIKE Cto himselfj :- I object anywhere, but it works. Qleiloudj, Miz President, I beg leave to nominate for orator the talented Mr. Julian. IWCEACI-IRAN :- Second the nomination. FIICKEYI-HFCllOVV class-mates, there can surely be no difficulty in choosing between the second nominee and myself Ccries of W7ell I should say notj g Mr. Evans has set forth my qualifications-all of you know how well I talkg I am justified in demanding your votes. -1133 EAGERI-HTl11'6C ch-in NTIKE :-'fI.et those refuse to sing who-- CLELAND Qwilidlyj 1- Mr, President, I ask that yonder heathen be put out, and move that the nominations be closed. QVote is takeng julian is electedj. SXVEETI-HNOl'1'll1121tlO1lS are in order for class-historian. NEXVBYZ-UI nominate Mr. Evans. QSelma secondsj. JULIANZ1HT nominate the distinguished Mr. McEachran. QMiss Cooley secondsj. McEachran elected by overwhelming majority. Then Miss Erickson wins prophecy. S-WVEET :-Nominations are in order for poet. LYONS:-I nominate for class-poet our beloved class-mate and follower of Luke, Mr. Newby 5 furthermore I am authorized to state that Mr. Newby, in an- ticipation of this honor, has written and brought with him a most beautiful and pathetic ballad which he is anxious you should hear. MIICE :- Ye gods and little fishes! QEvans seconds nominationj. BEEBE:- I desire to place in nomination Miss Abigail Ronne, if such action be agreeable to Mr. Brookmanf' IVIIKE :-The nomination fills me with ecstacy. BEEBE Qcontinuingj :-I, too, desire to announce that a poem will be read to the class. Miss Ronne knowing that she would be elected to fill this very difficult position has with very great labor erected a fabric of English which does her and her class great credit. I-have experienced most profound pleasure in reading her work and therefore it may be safely assumed that you. my dear class-mates, will also enjoy it. CMcEachran secondsj. 'Neath the ever-green tree an ancient maid sat Twisting the brim of her turkey-wing hat, Each masculine student she keenly did scan, 'Twas a faculty lass on the spy for a man. Wlieii first her sad plight did burst on my view I murmured, Dead madam, now what can I do ? She looked at me scornfully for a very brief span Then- Thank you so much, but you're not a man. I felt the reproof, and hastened to add That it wasn't my fault, but it was really too bad. 'fYet, said I, to each one who patiently waits Is granted their wish by the amiable Fates. -114- Do you think so,', she said, and now it may be That my aflinity's dear form I shall presently see. So with courage renewed she lifted her eyes To the heavens above and said between sighs: You tender young things in that dear Senior class Can't know our anxiety as we see the years pass, For of all life's misfortunes there's nothing worse than To Hnd that at forty you haven't a man. This picture of woe, so dread to behold I confess my dear class-mates had turned my blood cold' But hope soon returned as I heard my friend plan XN ith most subtle wisdom to garner a man. I The while she was planning still roamed her keen eye And soon on the air came a terrible cry, For this faculty member with her faculty smile I-Iad enmeshed a poor student in the snares of her guile. Still smiling she rose and advanced on her prey I-Iot-foot to secure him without further delay, But he-happy creature-was saved from dark fate And fled with a howl ere forever too late. Undaunted she turned and said sweetly to me. There are bigger and better fish still in the seag There's Perisho, bald-headed duffer and fat, But still he's a man for all that and all that. f'Last year there was Davidson, sweet little man QAnd this I have learned-get him quick as you can- For Davidson went East and married in haste VVith never a tho't for the hearts he laid wastej. '!The students are all like the one you just saw, Like so many icicles and I can't make them thawg Uh, I know I can't bear it-I Won't think I can, Any old stick'll do-just so it's a man. Class greatly moved by this touching composition. The girls are observed to be Weeping. However they compose themselves to hear NeWby's production. -115- Newby comes forward and with voice trembling with suppressed emotion, reads 1 Oh, fair Grimalkin, when first thou yowledg I mind me well, I lay upon my quiet bed And tho't on thee and on the curs that howled, And idly wished that they and you were dead. Nightly, my love, I heard they tender voice That made with others of thy kind sweet harmony, And each new time my heart did more rejoice, For thou wert grown very dear to me. Thou canst not know-nor if thou knew would care- The happiness I knew when thee I saw, Your golden eyes half shut to meet the sun's bold glare, A juicy mouse vanishing into your niaw. And dost thou not recall, it was on a Sabbath eve. Wfhen I did fix for thee a gunny-sack, And spread a full, fair banquet to deceive Thy tender feline mind, alas, alack. But thou wert ever mindful of thy health. And of my hands and clothes took toll Efen tho I crept upon thee lightly, love, and all by stealth And I had many evil tho'ts within my soul. I I-Iow joyfully, my maltese love, I took thee up To that gray morgue where Lonimen waits. There thou didst drink the dregs of death's dark cup And give thy body over to the fates. And I was fate, Grimalkin mineg I used the knife With savage joy, and cut thee up with glee, Nor ever tho't upon thy pleasant, tuneful life But that thou dearer grew to me. So there thou art, my furry heart's desire, Thy teeth and claws all full of my dear hide, But soon thou shalt be mingled with the mire And ere a week a new love shall have died. M116- All are seized with gloomg an air of impending tragedy settles over the meeting. Red Lyons is observed to be in tearsg Grace Darling Eldridge faints. and tears How freely from Newby's eyes as he concludes. EAUER Crisesj :-Mr. President, Mr. Newby's work needs no praise of mineg beyond all doubt it is the more excellent poem, but, Mr. President. we must con- sider the effect upon our class-day audience of such a work of art. Imagine our chapel filled with weeping men and fainting' women-an awful picture, but I do not hesitate to predict that such will be the case if Mr. Newby be allowed to give his composition. And now, Mr. President, I move that Miss Ronne be declared unanimously elected class-poet. NEXVBY Covercome by his poemj seconds motion. Miss Ronne is elected. KIIKE Crisesj :-Mr. President. I've fooled with your crowd long enough. You may as well understand that I control this meeting absolutely and whatever I say goes. I want the following' people elected: Hi Beebe for the colors, Miss Cooley for the ode, Miss Jones for the valedictory. Mr. President, I am willing' that you should have the speech of welcome, and I am agreeable if Mr. Bruce wants the invocation. I am unable to think of anything' else that I want, Mr. President-at present, at least. and move that the people herein designated be unanimously elected-and your bunch might as well cave in. CAll are electedj. SCISSORED Prof. Perisho fgesticulating violentlyj-Elmer what would happen if the sun were blotted out forever? Prof. upon his toes. Furuset-I guess it would be pretty dark.

SUGGESTIONS TO NEW STUDENTS LAPPROVED BY THE FACULTYJ First, in way of kindly suggestion to new students, let me speak regarding the University halls. ' .-Xt some primeval date these halls were intended for use of persons passing to and fro, but that day has passed. Now they are to be used for student gather- ings, particularly recommended during chapel, where all boisterous conversation and class rushes are to be held. If a faculty member attempts to pass, simply jeer at him and jar him up slightly, but otherwise do not alarm yourselves about him. He is simply a relic of ancient days, not accustomed to methods of modern civilization. In regard to the libraries, let me say, that these rooms are intended for re- ception rooms where friends may be entertained and a good time assured. Also, convene there to discuss any matter of general interest, for a jollifiea- tion meeting, or a good hearty laugh. In case some benighted student is trying to study. do not let him disturb you. I-Ie is a grind, and should be thrown out a window to air and exercise. The librarian will gladly furnish detailed suggestions for a good, jolly rol- licking time. In regard to the lower main hall steps, I would advise, that during chapel time, they furnish a particularly advantageous spot, from which to witness the performance in the hall below, and should by all means be taken advantage Of. Hearty applause will be appreciated by the performers, Cand the facultyj. As yet, I regret to state, they are a trifle hard but cushions will undoubtedly be provided by the next appropriation. They have been tested to 50 by weight C special occasions have withstood a great many morej. In case you are affronted by obtrusive signs, such as Do not loiter in the halls do not be offended, they refer only to the faculty and board of regents. About the campus are scattered signs, Keep off the grass. They refer only to dogs and cattle. for this is the grazing ground for the faculty. In case you desire to smoke or chew tobacco. retire gracefully to the gym- nasium. I regret that you will be required to expectorate on the walls and floor, because of a deficiency in cuspidors. You will, however, be conferring a special favor upon the janitors. During the winter months, snowballing in Science Hall, is recommended as an excellent and invigorating sport. The third Hoor windows are advantageous positions, from which the passing faculty members, may be pelted. On the second Hoor of Science Hall various forms of amusements are to be formed. A rare feature is presented in the form of a HVVhistling Orchestra, which displays unrivaled talent. They have graciously consented to give continu- ous performance, and their talented productions never fail to bring forth hearty applause. Novel experience in the great meat industry may also be obtained on the second Hoor of this building, where is installed, a complete and modern packing house. Toothsome samples of its product are distributed free of charge,-choice morsels of dead cats. By no means be alarmed by the earsplitting shrieks, and racket resembling piano music, issuing from the third' floor of the Main building. These noises are. to be sure, caused by maniacs, but the latter are otherwise quite harmless. Strict adherence to the above suggestions will make you popular with the faculty, insure you a stand-in or graft, and a college career devoid of flunks. lWiURRAY BROOKMAN, a Sponser. just one more suggestion: In case you are, by deceit and treachery, beguiled into a class, always bolt for a back seat where you may slumber the hour away undisturbed by the rude Prof's lecture. In case you have no desire to sleep, vari- ous promptings and cries of louder! louder! will be appreciated by the Prof. as proof that you are an attentive student. Frequent applause should greet the oc- casional venerable jokes and rare outbursts of eloquence. l Students who are indisposed in either of the above, have discovered a fair ,hour's pastime in the shape of sundry games, cards, old-cat, etc., and lying to the girls. Do not let yourself be disturbed by the l?rof's tiresome mumbling, and you may have a fairly good time in any class room. -122- ' Mike ? Ding ? Bill ? Aleck ? Bob ? Eggs ? Cap ? Rastus ? Larry ?

Suppose an unknown mass, to be traveling at a certain velocity and to be suddenly stopped. How far would it have traveled in centimeters, had it not been stopped and deduce expression for its velocity. 2. Develop all the formula necessary to solve any problem in applied me- chanics. 3. If it takes IO drops of Castorial' per dose per child under IO years of age, compute the velocity of any star you may choose and give additional neces- sary date for solving similar problems. 4. If a man weighing 150 pounds traveling at the rate of Q0 miles per hour, is pursued by another man of like mass, what must be the coefficient of rigidity of the glass used in the manufacture of the front door of Science Hall, in order that the above energy be all transformed into hot air, and the window withstand the shock successfully. QA correct answer will be personal assistance to the instructor in this course, as he recollects an experience similar to the one men- tionedj. I 6.

They yearn to make the profs think that they are eager after knowledge and truth. They yearn to make a hit. It is no unusual sight to see a group of anxious, haggard-faced Freshmen crowding about Prof. Pellls desk at the close of an hour in College Algebra proA testing and swearing by the bones of their ancestors that Algebra is the only course in school in which they are interested. Freshmen are weak-minded-they laugh at the faculty's jokes. This is a great weakness and should not be tolerated, even though they be treated to the choicest from the Prof's written list of jokes. These jokes are so venerable that our respect for their antiquity alone should prevent giving way to idle mirth in their presence. Extreme age is tragic, and it has been said in this connection, the laugh mistimed in tragic presence. HASH just as I am and smoking hot, From out the blackened kitchen pot, just as I am the Lord knows what 0, Fated Youth, I come, I come. -127- A TRAGEDY-RUBE NEWBY-VILLIAN 'Twas a critical moment,-he strove manfully to control himself but his dis- heveled hair, congested face and bloodshot eyes betrayed his wild emotion. His parched lips were seen to move. but the silence was broken only by a whispered curse. He surveyed his small, but doughty antagonist once more. Suddenly his face assumed a look of desperate resolve and into his eyes crept a light seen only in those of one who has risked all in one last moment. A cruel sinister smile now played about his mouth. VVith a quick motion he thrust out his right hand and his fingers clutched the handle of a razor. And then-O horrible and most ghastly,-he seized his victim with the other hand and with skillful strokes slashed the helpless thing into pieces. Not a sound was heard save the death dealing strokes of the Weapon. Wfith fiendish delight he fell to examining his work and a smile of triumph overspread his face as he saw. with the aid of a miscroscope, an archegonium in the cross section of a fern- gematophyte.

VVesleyan. and Brookings. This was the first time that any South Dakota college football team had met and defeated every other prominent football team in the state. VVesleyan was the only team that crossed the Coyote!' goal line. The outlook at the beginning of the season was dubious as there was a scarcity of material to fill the gaps in the line occasioned by graduation and the loss of Captain Brown to the team. The first game of the season was played with Yankton, and resulted in an easy victory for the Uni- versity 23-O. The following Saturday weakened by the loss of Brown the team went to Lincoln, and suffered defeat by the heavy University of Nebraska team 43-6. The team made a plucky stand against a team that was not only much heavier, and superior in playing form, but also had enjoyed the advantage of three week preliminry practice season. In the next game the team defeated Madison High School 33-6. The high schoolers scored by constant attacks on the line. The poor showing against Madison aroused the student body, and the next practice, every football man in the institution was 'on the field. Results were visible in the next game which was with Creighton. The men from Omaha suf- fered defeat 22-O. There .now remained ten days to prepare for,Wesleya11 which the year before had the advantage over the University in a tie game. The prac- tice was hard and prolonged, and the drill in defence especially severe. The hard work, and tremendous outburst of football spirit by the student body and faculty had their results. The backs were very capable, and the team had two sets of them. All depended on the line. If it could hold the team would win. This was the consensus of opinion among those who had followed the team closest, A large delegation of enthusiasts accompanied the team on a special train to Mitchell. The line did hold, and the backs fairly out did themselves with the result that in one of the hardest and most desperate games ever played in the state the University was victor by the comfortable margin 22-5. Brookings had been defeated by Wesleyaii 2 5-o, and the arrival of the team and its support- ers home that night from Mitchell was one of the memorable occurences in Uni- versity athletic annals. A week later the team went to Brookings, and defeated the Aggies in an- J. W. Fowler, Jr., Athletic Mgr. -138- other desperate contest 17-o. This game gave the team the state championship and was the occasion of a notable celebration when the team arrived home the next night. The parade of the team, and the hundreds who had met the tired victors at the depot through the streets turned into avenues of red Ere and the subsequent reception at the Armory will long be remembered by all who partici- pated. ' lt is a significant fact that the teams of 1902 and 1905 when handicaps were the most numerous and hardest to overcome have been among the University's best. The fact is signihcant in that it shows how important among the assets of a football team are the items of college spirit, and faculty support. THE FOOTBALL TEAM OF 1906 ,Football was on trial in IQO6. The changes in rules made the game popular in Ycrmillion, and the universal opinion at the conclusion of the season was that the rules coimmittee had acted wisely. The South Dakota team of IQO6 made a splendid record. and won high honors for the University. Captain Browns men won the state championship by defeating Yankton, Brookings and Wlesleyan. Not a state team was able to break the University defense and cross its goal line. The boys made a strong showing against Nebraska in the first game of the season, and played the husky Cornhuskers'l to a stand- still. After a hard fought game in which the Dakotans played every bit as good football as their opponents, Nebraska won the game by the narrow margin of a field goal the only made by the Lincoln people in the season's play. South Dakota o, Nebraska 4. The next game was with Yankton which had one of its best teams in recent years. For the first time the forward pass was used in Vermillion, and through its clever use, and hard line smashing the home team scored six touchdowns. To- ward the end of the game Yankton secured the ball in close proximity to the Uni- versity goal, and unable to advance the ball essayed a field goal which proved suc- cessful. South Dakota 33, Yankton 4. The team entered the Ames game under very unfavorable conditions. Prac- Brown, Football Captain -139-' tice on a field made heavy by continual rains, a long trip, late trains and inade- quate hotel accommodations combined to injure the University play on a fast field, and against the fastest team in Iowa. Nevertheless the men made a credit- able showing, and although defeated by a wide margin, advanced the ball more than fifty consecutive yards through the line of Towa's champions a feat that both Iowa and Nebraska failed to accomplish. Ames 22, South Dakota o. Brookings, victors over VVesleyan and North Dakota went down to defeat before the University aggregation 22-o. The field was wet and muddy, and what the size of the score would have been on a fast field with forward passes avail- able is a matter of conjecture. Thanksgiving the team went to Mitchell and in the hardest contested game of the season defeated Vifesleyan I2-4. The University defense was very strong, but bad fumbles gave the ball to Wfesleyan a number of times in University terri- tory, and one of several attempts at goals was successful. The closing of the first half was very spectacular. The University had not scored and there was but a moment or two of play left. A forward pass was tried, and Evans securing the ball on a beautiful pass ran for a touchdown. Time was called after the next play. The second half witnessed superb line smashing, and a number of spec- tacular new plays which finally earned another touchdown. South Dakota was as strong as at any time since the introduction of football. The team had splendid all round strength, a capable line, powerful tackles, good center trio, clever ends, a general at quarter, and backs of marvelous all round ability. The team was the only one in the state to use an offense based on the possibilities of the new rules. No player seemed stronger than his fellows, and when the team is considered individually there seems to have been a star at every position. 4-140- 1906 CHAMPION FOOTBALL TEAM Case, q. b. Evans, r. e.

Newby, l. h, -141- 1906 Base Ball Team The baseball team of 1906 was the best the Uni- versity has produced. There has been steady im- provement in playing form year by year, and every year has witnessed more men trying for the team, and a better style of play. The team won its first honors by a splendid show- ing in a series of seven games with the Sioux City VVestern League baseball team. In several games the outcome was in doubt until the last man was out, and there is little doubt but that had the collegians gone into the games thinking victory possible that the ieaguers would have gone down in defeat several times. Owen' Captain The writer does not mean by this assertion that the University team has any right to defeat the leaguers when both teams are in equal physical condition. The superior condition that the collegians have at the beginning of a season counterbalances the experience and skill of the professionals. The team made the most ambitious trip of University baseball playing in two games with the University of Missouri, two with the American College of Osteopathy, one each with Simpson, and Ames. Erratic play gave Missouri two victories. The poor play may largely and rightly be ascribed to the change in weather that the team experienced. The team left Vermillion with the tempera- ture cold enough to warrant an overcoat, and found ninety degree weather at Columbia. The team defeated the Osteopaths twice, and lost to Simpson and Ames by the narrow margin of one run in each game. Ames for several years has been at the top of Iowa collegiate baseball. Games played hitherto against the teams of 'fbig universities have resulted in overwhelming defeat for the Dakotans. There is every reason to believe that when sufficient guarantees may be offered to induce big teams to come to Ver- million that South Dakota will rank well in the Missouri Valley inter-collegiate baseball world. The team played twenty-two games, and won ten of them. Seven of the defeats were at the hands of the leaguers. I But one game was played with the South Dakota college team, Wesleyan whichhad previously defeated the men from Brookings. South Dakota defeated Wfesleyan 5-o, and the marked superiority in playing form displayed by the Uni- versity in every department left no doubt that South Dakota had the best college baseball team in the state by a wide margin. The team had all round strength, a staff of four good pitchers, a good catcher, -142- Captain jolmson. Z1 strong infield. and fast outfleld. The team batted Well, and ran bases in clever fzmshion. The Helds and team work were superior to that of previous teams. 1906 BASE BALL TEAM Pflaum Sawyer O'Nei1 Williams Orr Ryan Cooper Coach Whittemore Capt. johnson Illsley Fickey Good Hupp -143- The Track Team of 1906 The late spring with consequent heavy track de- layed track out-door work last year to such an extent that the annual field day was not held until May 19. Despite the fact that the track was still heavy, the times were g'ood with few exceptions. '09 won the largest number of points, largely due to the splendid perform- ances of Iver S-toland who won 22 points in 6 events, nd in addition ran a brilliant relay race. Miller cre- ated new records in the shot and discus. The meet with Brookings was cancelled owing to an unfortun- ate accident. The University would have sent its strongest team of recent years against the Aggies, and the local track men were confident of victory. Miller, the veteran weight man who was barred from the other meets because of the con- ference rule limiting the number of years of individual competition to five would have been eligible for this meet. May 25 the University participated in a very unsatisfactory three cornered meet at Sioux City with Morningside and Buena Vista. Buena Vista proved very weak, and about the only thing accomplished by that institution in the meet was to swell the expense account and to make the meet financially a failure. Stoland, Captain The sity, was was contest resolved itself into a dual meet between Morningside and the Univer- in which third places counted. The contest was a close one, and the result not determined until the last event, the relay, was finished. Morningside awarded that even, and with it won the meet by the narrow margin of a point and a half, the final score being Morningside 63Z points, University 6IM, Fowler, Stoland. and Turney proved themselves a brilliant trio on the track. Five days later the team defeated Yankton 89-21. Tn this meet Myers estab- lished a new record in the high hurdles. I6 seconds, and Jimmie Fowler equalled the University record of ten seconds in the century. Three days later South Dakota vanquished VVes1eyan 61M to 482. The contest was the third in eight days for the University, and the victory attested the splendid physical condition which enabled the men to compete in three meets in so short a time without loss of form, The University in this meet was supreme on the track winning 49M points out of 68, while the visitors in the field events won go out of 42. The team was exceptionally strong on the track. Fowler and Stoland were high class performers in the dashes, and Turney in the long runs. Meyers was a crack hurdler. Hupp won the broad jump in every meet. In field events the -144- team was weak, Lattin was the only man to acquire good form, and his shot put- ting performances were uniformly good.

At that time Alpha Chapter at the Cleveland Law School was the only other chapter in existence, so that, historically, Delta Phi Delta could not boast of many traditions or fraternal notoriety. The charter members however, were enthusiastic, and with the co-operation of Alpha Chapter succeeded in installing a strong chapter at the law school of the University of Minnesota, in the spring of IQO5, and on the 9th of March, 1907, a chapter was organized at the Detroit Law School, which from all indications will be a strong factor in further expan- sion of the fraternity. Negotiations are now pending With some of the leading law schools of the Northwest, with reference to placing chapters, and it may be conservatively stated that in' a few years Delta Phi Delta will be classed in the front rank of the lavv fraternities in the United States. The first National conven- tion Was held this year at Detroit on the 9th of March. Representatives from all the chapters were present, and much enthusiasm was manifested. Socially Beta Chapter has always had a lively interest in all student activities, and is ever ready to assist in advancing the interests of the law school and the University. -158- 1 l:R.'X'l'RlZS IN COLLEGIO Howard B.

The world demands not only that he know, but also that he act. The object of the -lasperian Society is to develop these at- its activities largely to literary lines.

The former includes debating. extemporaneous speaking and to cultivate those arts and talents which make one lluent of expression and resourceful in practiceg the latter includes be- literary productions, exercises intended sides the transaction of necessary business, parliamentary discipline which pre- pares one to meet duties in public life. The Iasperian is the oldest society in the institution. Though at times its life has been turbulent, it has always persisted in its purpose and character and played a leading part in university lite. It points with pride to the success with which a large number of its former members have been crowned.

He will listen no more to the staff all talking at once. He will no longer be required to call the athletic editor to order. for making declarations of eternal love to the assistant editor-in-chief, or wake the society head from heavy slumber in order to obtain his judgment on anything. The staff has kindly allowed the editor this space with instructions to apol- ogize to everyone for everything. He is supposed to explain to the innocent public that the Junior Class had no malice in offering this annual for sale. Further to explain to the Faculty that whatever displeases them in the book has crept in by mistake. Then he must apologize to everybody whose picture is in the book- to say that the photographer was cruel in taking a likeness-he should made an artistic picture, with utter disregard of likeness. But the editor has no apologies to offer. If there is anything that suites you in the book, give the credit to the editor in whose department the work appears. If there is anything you dislike blame the editor-in-chief for it. just deal fairly with the publication. Remember that there is some little work connected with publishing an annual, and that it must be done aside from class work. There are undoubtably oversights, but remember that they are unintentional. Every effort has been made to make the book characteristic of university life, with none of its favoritisms, and if there should be any interest not represented, remember that the slight was absolutely unintentional. p VV e are greatly indebted to Wfm. Ionnes. a former student of the University, now at the Art Institute of Chicago, for much of the title page work and car- tooning. Acknowledgement must also be made to the Seniors, who have given excellent material to the book in the way of class rows. VVe fell deeply grateful to the Faculty for allowing their idiosyncracies to become known, and only lack of space kept many of them out. The Freshmen. too, have made many pleasant mistakes which we could use in filling the book. If you have no use for the book, just keep it anyway, it will make good pad- ding for your library shelves, and you may be able to pawn it off some day on some innocent and unsuspecting person. If in after years you can take the '08 annual, and smile a little over past col- lege days, and if the book helps bring pleasant memories back to' mind, it has ac- complished its purpose and done all we ask for it. If you can occasionally smile as you turn its pages, and recollect the past times in the University of South Da- kota, then the annual is what we wanted: a university publication, of interest to everyone. -ITB- ig Qi WM I iLHlJJfUlI,5 btuuin First Class Work and Prices Reasonable iw, Tl Picture Frames made to order ll Souvenir and Leather Post Cards 1 WlLeather Pennants and Art Novelties il Developing for Amatuers ll Kodak Supplies ZECH.
