HUSTON, INTHE YEAR NINETEEN ELEVEN a gentetw ttitmfes to Cutty Cleon Knoles The Junior Class, U.S.C. I wish to congratulate you upon the fine compliment you pay to Professor Tullv Cleon Knoles by dedicating to him this issue of El Rodeo. You honor his superior abilities as a teacher; you honor him as a man who is devoted to his duties; you honor him as a man of worth in his strong personality. James Harmon IIoose. Tully Cleon Knoles has been my friend since his boyhood. Having been intimately associated with his school and college life, his beginning in the gospel min- istry, and his honored career as Professor of History in the College of Liberal Arts, I am glad to leave in El Rodeo my estimate of him in all these relations as stand- ing well within the first rank. As he is yet young, at once conservative and progressive, of a winning person- ality, and in character above reproach, the future gives promise of many years of growing eminence and usefulness. E. A. IIealy. • • •••• •• . fi v- .. y.. ; •; • y DEDICATION To Tully Cl eon ICnoles the Class of 1912 respectfully dedicates this issue of El Rodeo knowing it to he too small a tribute to one whose greatest interest centers in the welfare of his Alma Mater. • j GREETINGS To give a true picture of our University, to record the events of the college year accurately and honestly, to interpret those events justly, and to season the whole with well-seasoned wit and humor, these have been the objects towards which we have striven in the preparation of this volume of the El Bodeo. That we have failed to realize onr ideals is but a proof that those ideals were high, and a manifestation of our human nature. Whatever may be the difference between the ideal and the actual, the fact still remains that we have labored faithfully, diligently and zealously to produce something that would be worthy of our class and our institution. As chroniclers, we have undoubtedly missed some things and made mistakes; as reporters, we have, without doubt, mis- taken the news value of some facts and events; as writers, we have probably broken laws of rhetoric and composition; yet. we will willingly bear all criticism for these imperfections if we have produced a book which will serve as a source of whole- some pleasure and as a reliable memory stimulant, and a book, which serves no faction, distorts no facts, does no injustice. To those who may read these pages we extend sincere greetings, hoping that, in your estimation, our book may be worthy of the institution which you love and of the greater institution for which you cherish hope and expectancy.

We ought thus to regard it and so plan our courses of study that we may reach this high ideal of char- acter. Under the old regime of education the student was required to take a prescribed course for graduation. The responsibility for developing the high qualities of manhood and womanhood under such a system rested largely with the faculty prescribing the course of study. Under the modern and indulgent system of allowing the student to elect his subjects the major responsibility for the quality of manhood and womanhood produced by the college course is shifted from the faculty to the student. The elective system has its advan- tages in promoting intellectual grow'th, but there are some weaknesses against which we should guard carefully and per- sistently. The temptation' 'ds to move in the line of least, resistance, to take those subjects in college which we like' best and which require the least effort, the least amount of time and no brain-sweat. Such subjects are not likely to pro- duce in: us the most virile and conquering qualities. I believe we should force ourselves sometimes to do the things we dis- like to do in order that we may acquire and have in readiness for eaeli emergency that triumphant ability to do things. Tennyson says, “Face the specters of the mitid” and thus cultivate courage. Another says, “Attempt the end, and never stand to doubt, Nothing’s so hard but search will find it out.” An education has been defined as, “the ability to do the thing you have to do when it ought to be done, whether you like to do it or not.” No man is prepared to meet success- fully the problems of life without this ability. The power to disregard inclination and to do with might and main what ought and needs to be done is of supreme importance. The virile and valiant character is not born and bred by floating on the wave of inclination. It is only obtained by rowing hard against the stream. I earnestly covet for the class of 1912 and for all students that quality of preparation which gives grip and grit for the arduous, the tedious, the wearisome and the disagreeable tasks to be met and overcome in the world’s conquest. Much of the work of life has to be done at the call of duty. We should therefore, give serious thought to the deep foundations, divine sanctions, unequaled majesty, and eternal rewards of duty. GEOKGE F. BOVAKT). 13 'The. University of Southern California The University of Southern California in 1911 is composed of nine colleges which include: the five colleges situated on the University campus at Thirty-fifth street and University avenue—the College of Liberal Arts, the College of Theology, the College of Pliarmaey, the College of Music, the College of Oratory (a preparatory school being also maintained on the campus); the College of Fine Arts, very fitly placed among the foothills of Garvanza; the College of Physicians and Surgeons, the College of Dentistry, and the College of Law, all of which are favorably located in the uptown districts. Space does not here permit a history of the development of each college from small beginnings to the present state of progress, but suffice it to say that from 736 students in the year 1903, when Dr. George F. Bovard became the president of the University and dean of the College of Liberal Arts, the enroll- ment has steadily increased to a total of 1802 in the year 1911, with a faculty numbering 196 professors alone. A fair sample of the growth of each college during these years is that of the College of Liberal Arts, which has increased from 110 students eight years ago to its present enrollment of 624, with a faculty of some fifty professors, nineteen of whom are heads of as many departments; while it may be added that there are but six university law schools in the United States whose attendance is greater than that of the Law School of the University of Southern California. These facts do not make evident the bounding progress of the University merely in name, for the steady policy of Presi- dent Bovard to make the actual results of efficient work in each department count toward raising the standard of the whole, has been the solid foundation upon which the facts of its name depend; and in the support of such policy there stands a most able Board of Trustees, among whom are such men as 14 Lieut.-Gov. A. J. Wallace, Dr. Ezra A. Healy, who is dean of the College of Theology and president of the Board, Mr. George I. Cochran, president of the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company, and eighteen other men of prominence in theology, business and the professions. To these is added a faculty primarily interested in the broadest development of the indi- vidual student for social service, and a student body whose benefits received from their Alma Mater are reciprocated by the general moral tone evident in her student life, as well as by the honors of scholarship, of oratory, and of athletics, which they individually return as tributes to her. In line with these tributaries of her progress, the Univer- sity possesses a material equipment which, owing to its rapid enlargement, may not be known to even many of its friends. During the last two years the library in the College of Liberal Arts has grown very rapidly, owing both to the increased expenditure for material, and also to the addition of the Dean Cochran Memorial Library, which has been placed in the University by his son. George I. Cochran, and a further valu- able addition from the education library of Dr. Thomas B. Stowell, head of the Department of Education. Besides the amount of source material in the University Library, access to the large city and county libraries give increased facilities for advanced scholarship. A survey of the laboratories in any of the science depart ments will discover their efficient equipment in the matter of 15 modern appliances. The biological laboratories contain a large amount of histological material and a special emphasis is being laid upon research work, which has been greatly furthered by the recent establishment of the Marine Biological Station at Venice, California. The chemical laboratories of the Univer- sity, beside carrying on many investigations of scientific inter- est, have been responsible for some of the most important dis- coveries made in the industries of Southern California; among many others is the present method of manufacturing gas from heavy crude oil, and that of treating lubricating oils so as to remove all asplialtum and other gummy material. Another line of research has resulted in the discovery of the electrolyptic salt process of bleaching walnuts, the method used witli seventy-five per cent, of all the walnuts which are bleached in Southern California The honest place occupied by the University of Southern California of 1911 among the foremost universities of the West has recently been recognized by the State Board of Edu- cation, in the form of granting to the University the right to issue the High School Teachers7 Certificates on the same terms as those upon which they are issued by the Leland Stanford and the state universities. This means a marked stimulus to the work of the upper division as well as to the graduate department, and makes unnecessary the transfer of any student to the northern universities, either for greater advantages in under-graduate work or for the graduate course required for the teachers certificates. This significant honor finds the Uni- versity in the most prosperous season of its career; its develop- ment has kept pace with the steady growth and improvement of the city whose climate, harbor, water supply, and position in the citrus belt assure its continued prosperity; and it is the policy of the University of Southern California to continue to be a leading factor in the corresponding advancement of the educational life of the Southwest. 15 University Traditions As students in the University of Southern California, whether we are registered in the College of Liberal Arts, Law or Medicine, we all belong to the one great institution and for this reason we are interested in the affairs of the other colleges. Unfortunately four of the colleges are not situated on or near the campus and we have really little opportunity for mingling with their students and sharing in their activities. Therefore, in order that the students may know the customs and traditions that are prevalent in the various colleges of the University we will spend some of our spare time in making short visits to them and in learning from their students a few things about the inner circle. We will take the longest trip first. Boarding the electric car we are taken over the river and through the east side until we reach Garvanza. Here we alight and approach the mass of ruins that four months ago was the dwelling place of our College of Fine Arts. But undiscouraged by the loss of their building and materials, the faculty and students are hard at work. We stop in the shade of a tree near a young woman who is busily sketching a portion of the landscape and ask her if she can tell us about the school. We find that she is a senior and will be glad to answer our auestions. First she tells of Professor Judson’s drawing board, the one used by him while a student in the Julian Academy in Paris. The privilege of using this board is considered a great honor and is handed down from year to year to the student winning the Gold Medal. Then we hear of the various cere- monies at commencement time, the presentation of the senior’s gift, the giving of the candy-pan, the dippers and the soup kettle into the keeping of the Junior Class during their senior year and the ceremony in which the Juniors solemnly promise to faithfully care for and guard “granny who makes the buns.” The bun goes to the student doing the best work in the life class each week. Our friend also tells us of the new ceremony to take place this year which will establish precedence for the years to come. It seems that the bones and ashes of “Rastus” who was burned in the recent fire, have been placed in a black casket and the entire college will be summoned to pay tribute to his memory. Since the young lady has been so kind as to tell us what we wanted to know we will need to go no farther in this direction. Thanking her, we rush off to catch a car. 17 On our way back to town we decide to visit the Law School. Here we are met by a crowd of busy-looking men, and when we stop a good-natured individual who seems to have more time than the others, he shakes his head and says he never heard of any traditions floating around there except work, hard work. That sounds well, but we guess he’s not the man we are looking for so we move on. After we have talked with six or eight students and have met only smiles or negative answers we decide that the first man must be right and we accept his answer. After all, work, hard work, is not a bad tradition for any school. When we arrive at the College of Dentistry and the College of Physicians and Surgeons, our results are similar to those acquired at the Law School. It matters little whom we tackle, we are met with the same puzzling gaze and a still more puzzling answer. A dental student (apparently) starts to cross the hall. In his hand is a pair of large, dangerous-appearing forceps, gripping fiercely an inch and a half molar. We almost lose our nerve, but fortunately our sense of duty overcome� our fear and we proceed to impede his progress. ”Beg pardon, sir, but could you tell us about the traditions in this college.7’ ‘ ‘Traditions—-er—ah— nawl iVe been here two years and haven’t seen any signs of any traditions yet ’ We try another tusk artist, as he files the edges off a set of falsie teeth. 1 ‘Too busy for traditions around here,” he says and continues his exercise. At the Medical College we find a group of ten or fifteen pros- pective members of the physicians’ trust vociferating with great dirigibility on some subject bearing no relation whatever to college traditions. We approach a man standing off to the side who appears to be a little more reticent that the others. Again our question is put. He meditates a minute, then shouts, 18 “Hey, fellows, d’you know anything about traditions around here?” Then follows a chorus of various answers: “Nothin doin;” “See the dean;” “Never saw any;” “Too busy;” “Well—yes, we have our annual smokers, if that’s what you want;” “Sure smokers.” Without waiting any longer we jot down ‘ ‘ smokers ’ ’ and escape, and as we walk towards the car line we comfort ourselves by repeating these lines: “Let the dead Past bury its dead! Act—act in the living Present.” And we wonder if the author ever heard of College Traditions. Now we come out to the Colleges of Pharmacy, Oratory, Music and Liberal Arts. Pharmacy, Oratory and Music partici- pate in the affairs of Liberal Arts to a greater extent than do the other colleges and for this reason have few traditions of their own. Music and Oratory give commencement recitals and the graduates of the oratory department are entertained each year by the faculty at the “ Kopper-Kettle. ” It is in the College of Liberal Arts that the greatest number of university customs and traditions are harbored. The som- brero, as in the majority of colleges, is sacred to the seniors. Likewise only juniors and seniors are allowed to wear cor- duroys. Any violation of this rule is very likely to afford the offender a thorough sousing in the duck-pond, and this duck- pond. being covered most of the time with a disagreeable green slime, is not the ideal place for a morning dip. It is seldom necessary to subject a student to this treatment, and as a result the disgrace is doubly severe for the unfortunate one. The Freshman Class are supposed to choose caps, and the Sopho- mores and Juniors have class hats. During the first week of school a freshman-sophomore rush takes place, in which the sophs attempt to give the entering freshmen a good drubbing, but they more often get it them- selves. Early in the fall there is a freshman-sophomore football game, and just before the close of the year the Faculty and Seniors fight out their four-years’ grievances in one grand base- ball game. Of course, there are other class games, but these are mentioned because they are of particular interest and regularly take place every year. It has come to be a custom that a big bonfire jollification shall be held just before the Occidental football game, and that Miss Wlright shall recite the “Bear Story” the Monday after the game. Also Dean Skeele and Professor Knoles are sched- uled to produce their hair-raising ghost fight at the last jolly-up before the Pomona game. The “Hodge Hall cowbells,” as they are called, have come to be looked upon as a very necessary, noisy part of all our jolly-ups and athletic contests. Many especially interesting customs hover about commence- ment time. On Class-Day the Seniors always present the school with a last token of their affection and plant their sprig of •ivy by the side of the building. They also give into the keeping of the Junior Class the old mystery bag, the contents of which are unknowm, the spade with which to plant the ivy, and the pipe of peace. The night before commencement the Phi Alpha fraternity have their annual serenade and every frat brother from Professor Knoles to the newest member is quite likely to turn out and do his share toward making the night a melod- ious one for their friends and relatives. All these various customs and traditions form a large part of our student activities, and the entering Freshman is soon taught by proclamation and hearsay to respect and love them. It is such memories as these that in later years turn the thoughts of men and women to their Alma Mater, and make them live again the old care-free days. L. C. S., ’ll. THE COLLEGES LIBERAL ARTS. The College of Liberal Arts is composed of nineteen dis- tinct departments. The undergraduate curriculum is variously designed to meet the demands for both cultural and vocational education as well as to afford preparation for the profession. For those desiring a cultural education the curricula furnish a liberal choice of humanistic studies and provide for the pursuit of studies in history, philosophy, ancient and modern languages, literature and economics. Through the elective system also it is possible for students to arrange their courses according to individual needs, thus fitting themselves for work immediately after leaving college, as well as for specializing with a view to further professional study. Especially in the departments of Science and Engineering can the student prepare himself for immediate work. In the latter department much practical work is being done, while in the Science departments abundant oppor- tunity for research along utilitarian and industrial lines is offered. The Graduate Department, lately reorganized, and also greatly stimulated by the recent privilege of recommending High School Teachers’ Certificates, will next year offer graduate work in practically all the departments, and many city and county teachers are now taking advantage of special courses. The college has the double advantage of being located in one of the most pleasant of the residence districts, and yet being but a comparatively short distance from the center of the city, thus affording valuable opportunity for students to supple- ment their special work by attending the many lectures, concerts and conventions of which Los Angeles has always such great share. PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS. The University of Southern California, in keeping pace with other of the leading universities of the country, was quick to note the advancements being so rapidly made in medical science, and, in establishing and building up the various uni- versity departments, wTas one of the first institutions in the West to broaden the scope of the curriculum in its medical department. In 1885, when the medical department of this university was founded, the Trustees placed themselves on record for higher med- ical education, declaring for a three-year course, which was the exception at that time, and since then has been among the first in the rank of universities to lift its medical department up to the highest plane of efficiency. Money has been liberally spent and no pains have been spared to equip the medical laboratories, broaden and perfect the clinical departments, and to place them in charge of experienced and capable teachers and instructors. The Alumni of the medical department of this University include many of the leading physicians and surgeons of this country— trained, skilled men and women in their chosen profession, and an honor to the institution that prepared and equipped them. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Los Angeles, an insti- tution of high class, became an integral part of the University of Southern California one year ago, thus becoming its medical department, its faculty believing that better work could be done under the auspices of a strong university, where the university spirit might be inculcated into the various branches of its medical course. The wisdom of this union was apparent and is mani- fested by the superior work now being done in all departments of the medical curriculum. The government of the College of Physicians and Surgeons is vested in the Board of Trustees of the University and in the Judicial Council and Senior Faculty of the Medical Department, as provided in the articles of incorporation of the University. COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY. In the year 1897, just thirteen years ago, the College of Dentistry began its existence under the able leadership of Dr. Edgar Palmer, as dean. The fruits of Dr. Palmer’s labor are now being realized to the gratification of his co-workers and the satisfaction of his successors. With a small gathering in a room on Temple street and with few accessories they struggled along. But the reward for faithfulness was not far off, for our College has steadily grown in reputation and in strength until it is excelled by none in the West. Dr. Garrett Newkirk succeeded as dean in 1901 and held that position for four years, when he resigned to accept a posi- tion on the California State Board of Dental Examiners. It was due to Dr. Newkirk’s efforts that the College was changed from a stock company to an integral part of the University of Southern California. In doing this Dr. Newkirk rendered a service to the students of dentistry for whicn it will be impossible to ever repay him. 20 Since Dr. Newkirk’s resignation Dr. Lewis E. Ford has been at the head of the institution. Under Dr. Ford’s careful supervision the College has made wonderful strides toward attaining the highest ideals coveted by the best colleges of the profession. Not in America alone has our reputation grown, but in our thirteen years of existence it has extended to coun- tries beyond the seas. From the little room on Temple street the College has developed until in 1905 it became necessary to erect a building which could accommodate our needs. But notwithstanding the foresight of the College authorities at that time it has again become necessary to obtain larger quarters. If the plans of Dr. Ford and the members of the faculty do not miscarry by this time next year the College of Dentistry will occupy one of the most up-to-date structures ever erected by any dental college in the world. COLLEGE OF LAW. The Law School of the University of Southern California is a descendant of the old Los Angeles Law School, whose enrollment included about thirty students at the time of its affiliation with the University in 1901. Three years later it became an integral part of the University of Southern California and today the Lawr School has an enrollment of 401, a library of 3,000 volumes, and ranks seventh among the law schools of the United States. The rapid growth of the last few years has been largely due to the efforts of Dean Porter and of Secretary Craig, the latter having recently resigned his position in the Law School in order to take up the duties of Superior Judge for Los Angeles County. The purpose of the College is not only to imuart the principles and history of law, but also to train and discipline the student in the use of the material by efficient practice. The method of instruction is a combination of the lecture, text- book and ease systems, with practical courses in briefing and the use of books. In addition to the regular course of study, the Law School maintains various debating clubs, and each year a general try- out debate is held for the purpose of selecting the First Debating Team to represent the College of Law in debates with other institutions. This year the team has defeated the George Washington Law School team, and in the debate with Cornell made a most creditable defense. The Law School at present has a challenge out for a debate with any college in the West. In athletics, those students who have junior and senior standing are eligible to take part in all inter collegiate events in which the University participates. In addition the Law School maintains separate football, basket ball and baseball teams, having this year defeated the Berkeley second team in football, and having made a close score with the Stanford base- ball team. THE COLLEGE OF THEOLOGY. The Maclay College of Theology was founded about twenty years ago by State Senator Charles Maclay. In the year 1893, owing to the stringency of the times, work in the College of Theology was suspended until 1907. At that time, at the urgent request of the Southern California Annual Conference, work was again resumed. The first dean of the Maclay College of Theology was Rev. R. W. C. Farnsworth, who was succeeded by Rev. R. S. Maclay, D.D., Rev. Geo. Cochran, D.D., and Rev. Ezra A. Healy, D.D., the present Dean. During the past three years, under the able and scholarly administration of Dean Healy, Maclay College has steadily grown in numbers, efficiency and influence. Maclay College of Theology, as well as the University of Southern California, exists under the patronage of the Southern California Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The importance of Maclay College in its relation to the University and Methodism at large was clearly recognized at the last session of the Annual Conference. The report of the committee on education, which was unanimously adopted, says: “We express the profound conviction that the time has come for a forward movement in behalf of Maclay. This we urge upon the Board of Trustees, already burdened by responsibility and embarrassed by success. But we urge it upon them because the output of the College of Theology means more for the future of the University than the graduates of any other one of the nine colleges. We urge it upon the Southern California Conference as the guarantee of its future greatness. It means much to have, as we now have, an institution in our territory where sixty men are preparing for the ministry of Christ. We urge this magnificent opportunity upon our far-sighted laymen who are looking for the highest class investments for the Lord’s money in their hands.” COLLEGE OF PHARMACY. The College of Pharmacy, the newest of the campus colleges, dates from 1904, when it had a total enrollment of less than a dozen students. The faculty now includes as many professors and lecturers as there were students in the first year of the life of the college, while the student body has an enrollment of 51. Of these, 13 of last year’s famous “23” class will graduate this year, a growth which has undoubtedly been the largest in the history of the College. The College is equipped with lecture rooms and laboratories, both in the Chemistry building and in the main college building. These are well stocked with materials and thoroughly modern apparatus, suitable for work of an advanced nature as well as for the regular courses. Steps are now being taken which are intended to lead to affiliation with the American Conference of Pharmaceutical Faculties, an association of the leading schools to maintain uniform entrance and scholastic requirements equal to the best in the United States. This College stands for progressive pharmacy, by placing the pharmaceutical profession on a high educational plane. THE COLLEGE OF MUSIC. The College of Music celebrates its twenty-fifth birthday this year. The success of the past few years has been indeed gratifying to those connected with the institution, and especially to those who have seen the growth of this department since its founding in 1886. For thirteen years Professor W. F. Skeele. A.B., has most efficiently planned and carried on the work, aided by a strong faculty. The various departments now are the organ, piano, vocal, violin, flute, guitar, mandolin and theoretical. Professor Skeele, Dean of the College of Music, has charge of the organ and also of the piano department, being ably assisted in piano by Miss Carrie Trowbridge, Mass Patton and Miss Arnett. Professor Skeele is an acknowledged master of the organ and piano, and is one of the best-known musicians in the Southwrest. He has filled positions as organist in leaning churches in Chicago, Denver and other cities before coming to Los Angeles, where in 1896 he took charge of the large organ in the First Congregational Church, which position he still retains. The Faculty of the College is unusually strong, num- bering ten of the best-known and best-equipped musicians in the Southwest. Mrs. Norma Rockhold Robbins and Mr. Horatio Cogswell have charge of the vocal department, Mr. C E. Pem- berton the theoretical, Herr Seiling and Mr. Pemberton the violin, Mr. Mead the flute, and Mr. Delano the guitar and mando- lin departments. A strong feature of the College is “The Recital.” Two recitals are given each month by the pupils. These recitals give the students a chance to become familiar with the best compositions and also give them ease in public performance. A number of private recitals have also been given by individual students of the piano and voice. An annual recital is given at the close of each school year, in which a number of students from each department take part. COLLEGE OF ORATORY. The College of Oratory of the University of Southern Cali- fornia was founded in 1895. Its growth has been rapid and it has had a wide influence in the University, especially in literary activities. Miss Beulah Wright, Dean of the College, is deserving of much credit for the growth and standing of this department. She is a graduate of Cumnock School of Oratory of Northwestern University, also of Baker University School of Expression, a student of Mrs. Mil ware, Chicago; Leland Powers, Boston, and Elizabeth Sargill Bucher of New York. Miss Weight is ably assisted by a competent and well-known faculty. The certificate and diploma courses, which require two and three years of work respectively, including required work in the College of Liberal Arts, are practical and complete. Pupils’ recitals are held every two weeks on Wednesday afternoons in Athena Literary Hall, for the purpose of giving the students practice and confidence in appearing before audiences. COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS. The College of Fine Arts is doubly favored in its location, being easily accessible from the city, while yet surrounded by foothills, arroyo and mountains, thus giving to outdoor work a special inspiration. The charm of its immediate surroundings is reflected in the spirit of harmony and enthusiasm which universally prevails throughout the life of the school, while the liberty and inspiration of plenty of room is an advantage appreciated by the earnest student. The work of the college is designed to both provide a finishing course in fine arts and to emphasize the importance of industrial art as well. The subjects of designing, decoration, mechanical drawing, cartooning, pottery, wood carving and metal work are receiving the same attention as are sculpture, architecture and painting. During the past year a most disastrous fire has destroyed the work rooms, the dormitory and the gallery which contained numerous paintings that can never be replaced. Prof. Judson has built the school up from the ground, both literally and figuratively, only to see the material results of years destroyed in an hour; but with the indomitable courage which has char- aeterized his whole life, he immediately set to work to erect another building. The school, however, has not been closed at any time during the year, work being at once taken up in tem- porary quarters, until a short time ago, when the new building, finer and even more commodious, was made ready for occupa- tion. COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING. The Engineering department of the University of Southern California has been in existence since 1907, when Prof. Johnson gave courses in Civil Engineering. The department has since grown until it has four professors, besides student assistants, with enrollment as follows: Freshmen 45 Sophomores 23 Juniors - 13 Seniors - 6 Post-Graduates 1 Total 88 The degree of Bachelor of Science will be conferred on six graduates in 1911. The department equipment is fair. Much apparatus used in the electrical laboratory has been built in the shops by the students; this includes the installation of a Lummer-Brodhun photometer, a reflection apparatus for projecting photographs, drawings, etc.; plug connection boards, two auto-transformers, and miscellaneous small pieces. There are also a number of motors and generators, for both alternating and direct cur- rents, with brakes, instruments of the highest grade, and all other appliances necessary for test work. The civil engineering laboratory has as yet no existence. This lack is made up in part by the previous experience of members of the faculty in government and commercial testing. Also for field work, the department possesses a complete equip- ment of surveying instruments. The classroom, laboratory and field work is supplemented by occasional excursions to points of engineering interest in and around Los Angeles. In April, this year, electricals were privileged to attend the Pacific Coast meeting of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. The standing of the department is shown by the recogni- tion given it by the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, and by the fact that the electrical students are admitted as student members into the national institute. 23 SUMMER SCHOOL IN 1910. That the summer session of the University of Southern California is becoming an important factor in the educational development of the southern part of this state is manifested by the increased interest shown from year to year, and the sum- mer session of 1910, beginning June 26th and lasting six weeks, was conducted with a much larger enrollment than in any previous year. Among the attendants there were many city and county teachers who were working toward a degree, as well as the regular students of our own University who were making up their deficiencies. The courses offered represented the departments of English, Modern Languages, Biology, History, Mathematics and Educa- tion, and in most cases the heads of these departments were the instructors. The comparatively small size of the classes gave abundant opportunity for the appreciation and progress of individual work; daily recitations secured a most satisfac- tory continuity of study, and at no time was the heat great enough to make study even uncomfortable. The library was also open for reference study throughout the session, and words fail to describe the awe-fulness of the spirit of sweet peace which reigned therein, not to mention the almost uncanny feeling of satisfaction one could take in occasionally procuring the reference book upon which his “stand-in” with the prof, depended. Verily to an old student the plaee did not seem like home. We would not expect to find so great an interest taken in school activities in a short session, where there is such diverse classification of students, and where the warm, lazy atmos- phere of the mountains and the coolness of the sea breeze are both reminders of vacation. There should have been, however, no pretext for being bored in summer school. Tully was there with a greater josh supply than ever before, and every girl in last year’s summer session frankly admits its importance to be measured by the fact that it was there Dr. Malcom began his eareer in S. C. “The Summer School Picnic” was the crowning social event of the term, and everybody added some mite to the merriment; Prof. Shulz and the cow-bell and the Librarian were there, Tully’s lunch box was found to contain nothing but all-day suckers (which he was induced to share with Prexy), the history class furnished the dates, and Prof. Malcom contributed his small part to the success of the occa- sion by neatly evading his (soap) box-seat and rudely clawing at his neighbor’s as he landed on the reverberating sod. cIke, Venice Marine Biological Station The University has been considering for a number of years the establishment of a Marine BiDlogical Station, and early in the spring of 1910, through the generosity and interest in education of the Abbott Kinney Company of Venice, such a station was made possible. Under the direction of Dr. Charles S. Bentley, this company constructed an extensive aquarium, a museum room, and a laboratory, all of which, with their maintenance provided fcr, w as placed at the dis- posal of the University. The aquarium is a large cement-floored room containing forty glass tanks, whose frames are constructed of marble from Catalina Island, and also a large concrete pool in the center, which is twenty-six by twelve feet and ten feet deep and is continually supplied with running sea water. The tanks are narrow enough to permit a close study of any form from all sides, and yet they provide ample space for the living forms within; they contain typical forms of Southern Califor- nia, together with occasional rare specimens. The laboratories are well lighted from the north and are provided with both fresh and salt water. The complete equip- ment of the Biology Department of the University is available to workers in these laboratories, while there are a limited num- ber of private rooms which are free to investigators prepared to carry on such work. The University is planning to purchase a launch equipped with modern apparatus for a hydrographical study of the sea and a study of the Plankton, together with other living plants and animals. This will involve a series of sounding’and dredg- ing expositions, from which interesting data will be derived concerning the denizens of the sea. 24 ‘The, University Faculty George Finley Bovard, President of the University, 1903.

Sale, Jr. Whereas, That on the 13th day of September, 1909, Henry Theodore Sale, Jr., enrolled in the College of Law of the University of Southern California and became a member of the Student Body of that institution, and Whereas, That on the 20th day of December, 1910, Henry Theodore Sale, Jr., passed from this world to that higher tribunal before which we must all appear at some time, there- fore, be it Resolved, That we, the members of the Student Body of the College of Law of the University of Southern California, through the undersigned, take this means to express our deepest and sincerest sympathy for his untimely loss to those upon whom the burden of the sorrow must fall. We, who have known him in the classroom and in the corridor, miss his bright smile and his cheerful word. He believed in the religion of good fellow- ship; he was young, cheerful, courageous, kind and true, and we feel that there has been taken from our ranks one, not only whose future was bright with hope and promise, but whose presence radiated that spirit of friendship which elicits admira- tion and love wherever men meet. 11 Death, so-called, is a thing that makes men weep—• And yet a third of life is passed in sleep.’’ J.

However the Webster picture was never taken and the write-up of Willard was not included in the copy and consequently it was discovered that the following two pages would have to be filled with matter somewhat foreign to this department. To remedy the defect we are borrowing some material from 4‘Stare Decisis, the estimable publication of the Law School, and make due apologies to the Editor and Manager of that book and to the authors of the borrowed articles. We trust that the readers of El Rodeo will find the substitution acceptable.) ilarem-Dcarem The hobble skirt was taken up By all our lovely co-eds. The large, the small, the medium, The brunettes and the tow-heads. But there is now a later skirt. The question, will they wear 'em, Is bothering all the girls in school, They mean, of course, the harem. The harem skirt, so it is said, Is like a sailor's pants, Perhaps not quite so trouserous, And yet, one little glance Can soon detect the difference From the ordinary dressing, You know at once there's something gone, It leaves no room for guessing. Some like, some dislike, this new style. Some more are undecided. Opinion, like the skirt itself, It seems is quite divided. OK Pianos! A man who sells pianos Fell in love once with a muff, He showed at her home regularly And filled the air with guff. One night he slipped the girl a ring, Then with a love-lit stare He said, ‘T worship you because You're upright, grand and square. The maiden was a trusting dame And fell for all his bunk And straightway accepted him, Then packed her little trunk. Down at the beach they have a home, It's built upon the sand, And in their home they have—guess what! You're right, a baby grand. 76 —G. R. C. Naughty i I want to be a lawyer So I can go to court To do a lot of devilish things And have a lot of sport. Fd like to break up happy homes, To crush out love, of course, That stunt would be an easy one, Fd do it through divorce. And what a lot of fun ’twould be To send some man to jail Who hadn’t done a wrongful thing And hear the poor boob wail. All murderers I would acquit, Of course, they would be willing, So they could murder other folks, Oh, wouldn’t that be killing! . And when some wealthy old gink died, Oh my, what fun ’twould be To round up all his cast-off wives To split the purse with me! Insurance suits I would defend, My job Fd never shirk To beat the kids and widows So they would have to work. When defending corporations I would do my level best To down the Common People N augkty h And then sit upon their chest. Fd always fix the jury Before I went to trial, Then let the opposition rave While I would calmly smile. Fd bully all the witnesses, The large ones and the small, And make them say a lot of things They didn’t mean at all. The judge, of course, Fd give a roll To help the poor man think, For writing a decision It is better far than ink. With money I would win each case, Of course, Fd be the gainer; For every wealthy crook on earth Would slip me a retainer. And when Fd fooled an honest man With argument so slick Fd go into my private room And laugh till I was sick. Into a swell hotel Fd move, Fd strut around the foyer And then Fd know just how it felt To be a famous lawyer. 76 George Rogers Curtin. Young Mens Christian Association Early in the spring of It) 10, as soon as it was learned that Thos. L. Clay, our efficient leader, would not l e with us another year, the Cabinet secured the services of E. J. Ruenitz, who had just resigned his position as the Secretary for Ventura county. During the year 1910-1911 the Y. M. C. A. work in the University has been developing rapidly, while the membership is the largest in its history—200 paid-up members. The social times also show this aggressiveness and have been attended by enthusiastic crowds, especially the “Stag Do’- last September. Then came the big annual banquet to the football team at the close of its season, and this followed a little later by a Bible Study Banquet, at which Clayton S. Cooper was guest of honor. But particular emphasis has been placed on the religious activities of the organization, and in addition to our weekly meetings on Wednesdays, we were again privileged to hear Dr. Matt. S. Hughes of Pasadena in a series of five addresses given before the whole student body. These were followed by four strong talks by Tully C. Knoles. Furthermore, Bible Study groups are more popular than ever before as a result of the Cooper banquet and the conference at Claremont—ten groups are either already formed or in the process of organization. As a Still more practical result of the Y. M. C. A. training a score of bright and consecrated IT. S. C. men are doing aggressive deputation work each week in addition to the work done during the Christmas and Easter vacations. But above all, Pacific drove has been calling for our attention, and we are sending, besides our usual delegation, the whole track team. Indeed, this lias been a great year and God has been with us.

W. C. A. work has been making itself felt more and more in the life of the U. S. C. girls. The organization has also been fortunate in its choice of officers— girls who are real leaders and who are making Y. W. C. A. work more effective in several directions. In the first place, the regular YVednesday-noon meetings have been conducted by most able speakers, giving the college girl a rare opportunity to broaden her views of Christian life and of what Christianity is doing at home and in other lands. Besides this, a number of classes have been directed by efficient leaders in Bible studies and in missionary subjects. The year has also been full of interesting social events; the most interesting of which, prob- ably. was the Juvenile Party for the Breshmen girls held down in the gymnasium. Many other good times might be hinted at, such as the shirt-waist reception, the luncheon given the Cabinet girls by the Pomona Y. W. C. A., and the delightful affairs in honor of Miss Helen Salisbury, the Territorial Secretary. The crowning feature of the Association year is the spring Capitola Conference, and to arouse interest for it a miniature convention called the Southern Students’ Conference, was held in October. The memories of the twilight cliff services, the dele- gation meetings of kimono-clad girls are life-long memories; while the ringing messages with their personal appeals often arouse in the girls a purpose to devote their lives to Christ for service. It is here that the true sphere and ideal of our local organization is expressed, namely, that it shall be i ‘ an inte- grating and co-ordinating factor in the life of the individual girl,” broadening her outlook, satisfying her needs, and helping her to find an answer to the deepest questions of her life.

S. C. is a part of the World's Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions, which has its headquarters in New York City. John R. Mott is the Chairman of the Executive Committee. The various bands in Southern California are organized into a Student Volunteer Union which meets several times during the year. The local band has a large number of Alumni who are or have been in the field. During the past year Miss Vida Stephens, ’09, has gone to India. Several of the class of 1911 expect to be sent out soon. The aim of the organization is to secure new volun- teers, to help the members n their preparation for future work, to deepen their purpose, and to promote missionary interest. Officers. Walter I.

The meetings of the past year have been unusually interesting and beneficial. A large major- ity of the men who represent the LawT School in debating are members of this society. We have had two debates with out- side clubs this year. The first one of these was with the Uni- versity of Redlands and the other with the Why Club of the Y. M. C. A. Our men won both of these debates. With our new constitution in operation and with three debates with out- side societies we expect to have the best and most successful year we have yet known.

Its object is to promote a better understanding of the German language and literature among the members, which include the upper German classes and others in the institution interested in work along this line. At the semi-monthly meetings, which are conducted in Ger- man, folk-songs are sung, various programs are rendered by the members, and addresses are given by outsiders describing life and customs in Germany. Social meetings are also held, where the games and refreshments are of a German character. All conversation is carried on in German and in this way “Der Verein” gives benefit as well as pleasure to the members. First Semester. Officers. Second Semester.

Intelligent, progressive citizenship is the foundation stone upon which rests the permanency and perpetuity of our cher- ished Democracy. A citizen of this mighty commonwealth, enjoying as he does exalted privilege, is, at the same time, weighed with great responsibility. To discharge properly the duties and obligations incident to the possession of the rights of citizenship, one must have a thorough knowledge and a. clear understanding of the great social, industrial, economic and polit- ical forces which are operative in moulding- and fashioning the character of the municipal, state and national life not only of the present, but of the future as well. The gravity of the situa- tion and the necessity of meeting in full measure the responsi- bilities entailed have been more and more apparent to thinking men throughout the country. As a result of this feeling a movement was launched only recently by the men in certain of the Eastern Universities having as its object the study and investigation, from a practical as well as a theoretical stand- point, of the great questions of immediate and pressing interest, with a view to becoming thoroughly familiar with existing con- ditions and practices. This organization is known as the Inter- collegiate Civic League. Once started the movement has spread with amazing rapidity until it has now become nation- wide in its scope, and at the present time numbers fully fifty of the leading Colleges and Universities scattered throughout the country in its ranks, each with a branch league. It is impossible to forecast the magnitude and possibilities of this new movement. Of this great organization the Civic League of the University of Southern California is, indeed, proud to be a part. Resting, as it does, upon the most patriotic principles and having as its aim the achievement of the most worthy ends, this organization is entitled to the largest interest and the fullest measure of support.

The purpose of the League is to study the Liquor Traffic from the various viewpoints, aiming to give its members a deeper and more thor- ough knowledge of the liquor problem. The two methods pur- sued this year have been the bringing in of outside speakers and the holding of oratorical contests. Frank Robinson, our representative iu last year's contests, took first place in the inter-state and third place in the national contest. As U. S. C. is usually victorious, we plan a similar season for this year. The League has thirty members. The officers are as follows: A. Z. Taft............................President Howard Woertendyke ------ Secretary Guy Lee --------- Treasurer Julius Hansen -------- h'cportcr WOMAN S ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION. This Association was organized in the fall of 1907 for the purpose of interesting the young women of the University in oratory and public speaking. Its membership includes the women of the two literary societies and any other woman of the University who is interested and who wishes to join. There are no regular meetings as the literary societies provide for this training, but interest centers about the annual competition held under its- direction. This year there are three contestants from each literary society. Those from Clionian are Ethel Ziegler, Lucile Ayers and Mabel Young. Those from Athena are Irene Robinson, Anna McLaughlin and Tacie Hanna. The officers who took their seats last February, their position lasting a year, are: Joyce Amis...........................................President Pearl Wrislev ------- Vice-President Nana Trythall ----- Secretary-Treasurer Best House The new location of the Girls’ Dormitory, at the corner of McClintoek and 34th streets, is very pleasant and convenient. Tennis and volley ball courts, a gift from Mrs. Best, have been laid out and the place has become very attractive. The manage- ment is carried on under the auspices of the Ladies’ Auxiliary, and Mrs. Eva Needham, the house mother, has done much to make things homelike; indeed, friends have characterized the place as a “ big house party. ’ ’ At the beginning of the second semester, the dormitory was formally opened under the name of “Best House,” in honor of Mrs. Lucy S. Best, Dean of Women of the University, with an informal reception to the faculty and officers of the Ladies’ Auxiliary. Officers.

Among the most valuable assets of a growing University there are none greater, nor more far-reaching in their effects, than men’s clubs. Although the Faculty may be of the best and the laboratories most excellently equipped, yet the college boys will find that these are minor tilings in moulding character and in preparing them to meet the practical side of life. Com- panionship, intimately, with ambitious hearts and an interchange of thoughts and ideas mean much in the preparation for life and are in fact an impetus to more careful and more thoughtful use of the facilities which a University offers. Hodge Hall has been an influential factor in U. 8. C. affairs for five years. During this time the very best of her men have found it a center of inspiration and attraction. As a co-opera- tive club the members have fused the ethical with the epicurean as well as economic nature, and with this appeal to the young men they have established an atmosphere that is distinctly characteristic of Hodge Hall. 'fhe Club members have big plans for its expansion and development. A building fund was started January 1, 1911, for the erection of a large dormitory near the campus. When these plans are realized Hodge Hall will have a power and influence in the University such as no other organization could hope to wield. The very fact that such plans have been made shows the growth of the University and the love which the members of the Club have for their Alma Mater. P resident Officers. Ed. G.

The University Auxiliary is passing a very successful year, the sixth year of its career, and an enumeration of the things accomplished will show’ the breadth of its work. First of all, the Membership Committee reports over 125 members. The meetings are held once a month in East Hall, which the organ- ization has furnished for the young women’s rest room, and many excellent programs have been made possible through the efforts of the Program Committee. The cafeteria has been a source of convenience both to students and faculty through an auxiliary committee. Yet one of the greatest successes achieved this year has been the reorganization of the girls’ dormitory. Mrs. Needham has made a very pleasant home for the college girls and the young women appreciate her management. Besides these, there are seven other committees who are interested in the different activities on and around the campus. The newr furnishings of the reception room came as a gift from the Aux- iliary; also there have appeared from time to time some pictures and decorations in the halls, the gift of he organization. The Auxiliary operates through the department of the Dean of Women, the principal work being carried on by committees with Mrs. Best, an ex-officio member of all committees. 93 «Electrical Engineering Society vi The Electrical Engineering Society of the University of Southern California was organized by Junior and Senior stu- dents of the department at the beginning of the second semes- ter, February, 1911, and now includes most of the electrical upper-classmen besides a few Sophomores. The purpose of the Society was primarily to afford a chan- nel for the discussion of topics not covered in regular school work, yet of special interest to Electrical Engineering students. Meetings are held regularly once a month, at which papers are presented and discussed by members. Other meetings are held, from time to time, at which men who are prominent in the electrical industry are the speakers. Among these have been Horatio A. Foster, editor of a widely- used Engineers' Poeketbook, and E. F. Scattergood, Electrical Engineer of the Los Angeles Aqueduct. Officers. L. X.

From the standpoint of num- bers, this year has been the banner year. Twenty-two players made the trip to the Pomona football j,'ame and presented quite a formidable array as they marched to the field. The student body and school authorities have given highly commendable support, making it possible to secure the services of Mr. II. K. Bailey as musical director. Besides being a versa- tile musician, Mr. Bailey lias had a wealth of experience as director, and to him is due much of this year’s success of the bund. The student body and athletic management provided music, transportation and admissions to the games, which was greatly appreciated by the band management. - Members. Cornet. R. K. Bailey.

S. C. Clock has his office in the main hall, where he hears the exercises and entertainments in chapel and the talk of the students as they pass through the halls. The rest of us must be content with being in our place at a set time. Through his wires and bells the Clock in the Hall is in constant touch with lecture room and laboratory, library and gymnasium; he sees the students boning in the study rooms and queening on the front steps. His observations he has written in his diary, from which we have been permitted to publish certain extracts.] April. 14th.—Last night the U. S. C. B. C. C.

The Commencement program given jointly by the four societies of the College was of more than usual interest. It was given in the college chapel, which was artistically decorated with flowers and ferns. The intensely patriotic students chose Theodore Roosevelt as the theme for their exercises. The “skit” portrayed for the occasion was a novelty which showed a great deal of originality on the part of the societies. It was amusing as well as instructive. The audience left with a desire to return the following year for another such treat: Program.

The patrons of the University who were present were exceedingly proud of the representation. Tf all of the graduates would enter the college the next year’s Freshmen class would certainly be one to be proud of, bright, alert and intelligent. After the exercises, which were executed in a very interest ing manner, the people were requested to remain in their seats while the flowers were distributed, after which all separated for home, the diplomas having been presented by Dr. Bovard. 139 THE COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES. The twenty-seventh annual Commencement exercises of the University of Southern California, which were held in the Tem- ple Auditorium on June 16, 1910, brought to a close the college duties and pleasures of one hundred and forty graduates. The presenting of the diplomas and the accompanying program were witnessed by two thousand interested persons. Long before the arrival of the wearers of cap and gown, the main part of the great building was well filled and when the procession, which had been formed at the First Methodist Church, filed down the aisles of the house to the exultant strains of th« “Triumphal March’’ from “Naaman,” played by Walter Fisher Skeele. there was a great ovation and the high walls of the structure resounded to loud and continued applause. The procession consisted of the one hundred and forty graduating students of the various colleges, followed by the official guest of the University, the faculty, the trustees and finally the President of the University and the commencement speaker. Dr. James A. B. Scherer, President of rinroop Polytechnic Institute. The march ended at the spacious Auditorium stage, where the graduates and faculty were seated. The stage pre- sented a grand display of caps and gowns with various colored adornments signifying different degrees from different colleges and universities. The exercises were opened by the singing of “America”, after which prayer was offered by Warren F. Day, the Com- mencement Chaplain. Then followed the Commencement address by Dr. James A. B. Scherer. Dr. Scherer's subject was “Lin- coln’s Books”, and it was indeed a scholarly, masterful- and inspiring address. After Mr. Skeele had rendered two organ selections, a prelude in C sharp minor by Rachmaninoff and 1 ‘ The Chase ’ ’ by Fumagalli, a number of prizes were awarded for excellent scholarship. The Lottie Lane prize given for excellence in scholarship during the four undergraduate years was won by Miss Grace Alice Willet. Charles Grant Ashmore of the Dental College won the Los Angeles County Dental Society medal for excel- lence in theoretical work. Among the College of Law gradu- ates Charles L. Bagley received the Alumni medal. The College of Physicians and Surgoons’ prizes and their recipients were as follows: The Seymour prize, Clifton Earl Gage; the Bryson prize, Watson Parrish; the Jones Prize, Phil Boiler; the Senior prize, Walter C. Koebig; the Junior prize, Phil Boiler; the Sophomore prize, William L. Yager, and the Freshman prize, Chester H. Bowers. The Intercollegiate Oratorical medal won March 19, 1910, was presented to Benjamin D. Scott. The awarding of medals and prizes was followed by the conferring of degrees and the presentation of diplomas by Pres- ident. George F. Bovard. One hundred and forty students had reached the goal for which they had patiently labored. THE SENIOR GIFT. The frieze depicting “The Triumphant Entry of Alexander into Babylon,” which was presented to the University by the Class of 1910, is copied from a production of the world- renowned Danish sculptor, Bertel Thorwaldsen. The occasion for the execution of this frieze was the fitting up of the papal residence on Monte Cavallo in Rome as a palace fcr Napoleon Bonaparte, who had conquered the greater part of Italy, and there is little doubt that Thorwaldsen selected his subject with some thought of a flattering comparison between Napoleon and the great Alexander. The original work was in plaster but was later copied in marble with several additions, making in all twenty-one sections. In the plan of the frieze the scupltor has followed closely the description of Alexander’s triumphal entry as given by his celebrated biographer, Curtius. The first five sections are taken up with episodes which characterize the scene of action— Babylon in a state of peaceful submission. Then follows the picture of the conquered Babylonians as they march forth from the city gates to meet their conqueror, Alexander. This pro- cession is led by Pax. the winged goddess of peaee. followed by the Babylonian leader, Mazaeus. with his sons. Then come Persian dancing maids strewing flowers, and the treasurer, Bagophanes; bringing an altar and incense; musicians, too, with various instruments, have a place, and behind them are brought gifts for the conqueror. Last of all issuing from the gates are three Chaldean astrologers who are preparing flatter- ing prophecies for the conqueror. This suppliant procession is met by Alexander attended by Victoria, goddess of conquest. The great hero is followed by his armor bearers and a number of cavalrymen with their proud steeds of war. Then we are given a glimpse of the rich spoils of war and bringing up the rear a captive Persian chief whose attitude forms a strong contrast with that of the conquerors in the van of the pro- cession. Last of all the sculptor has depicted himself watching this military array from the shade of a palm tree. The whole picture is full of action beautifully presented, and is an inspiring study. It was no small loss on Napoleon’s part when he failed to take his intended journey to the “Eternal City” and behold this remarkable work of art executed in his hon or. SOCIAL COMEDY “Stag Do,” Sept. 15, 1910. Registration had hardly begun in earnest wher. lo, yellow tags for the “Stag Do” appeared. It was September when the Freshies, Sophs and jpper-classmen gathered at the “Gym.” Hot-hand and double hot-hand started the fun. A tug of war and other brain-fagging stunts were performed. Then, when the Freshmen had received all of that kind of welcome they wanted. Dr. Bovard and members of the Facult}’ and the student body made speeches of welcome and outlined the many branches of the Association work for the yea . The next number on the program was given on the basket- ball court. Here a watermelon spread was waiting and the hasty disappearance of the food supply showed that the out- door feed was a refreshing ending to an evening of strenuous activity. Joint Reception, Sept. 16. The Woman’s League and the men of the student body united on the sixteenth of September in giving a reception to the Faculty and the new students. The receiving line was formed in the reception room and the Freshmen made their way down its length. Later, music and readings were enjoyed in East Hall and Prof. Owen was the one member of the Faculty who was not entirely overcome at the suggestion of making a speech. Y. W. C. A. “Stunt Party.” The Y. W. C. A. annual shirt-waist reception, to welcome the new girls was a stunt party this year. Each girl was Properly labelled with class and name. A short program was given, after which the classes presented “stunts.” The Fhv� io s gave “Three Little Alaids of Tea,” the Sophomores held a country school, while the Freshmen gave a Bear Dance. Rv this time it was so late that the Juniors could not give their stunt although everyone felt that the best one was thus omitted. . ........ Clionian Reception, September 27. v CVonian was rot to. be., left. behind'and. a- large number of girls gathered in East Hall September 27. A very entertaining program was given and lively games made the afternoon very pleasant one for all. September 24. The next scene opens in the Athena and Aristotelian Reception, Miss Maggie Brown, president of Athena, extended a welcome on behalf of both societies. Afterwards a most tempting Dutch supper was served and stunts and songs were enjoyed until—well, what’s the difference? President’s Reception. On the evening of October 7, the -home of Dr. and Mrs. Bovard was the scene of a very pleasant affair when the Faculty of the colleges on the campus were entertained. Dainty refreshments helped to pass the evening in a delightful way........ Garden Party. It was rainy and damp. The'Garden Party was “bedrag- gled,” but inside in the college halls the scene was one of brightness and color. It was the indoor promenade given to the students by the Faculty. The halls and chapel had been changed into an enchanted garden with cozy nooks and corners everywhere. A colored quartette added greatly to the enjoy- ment of a delightful evening. Juvenile Party. The Y. W. C. A. Cabinet entertained the Freshmen girls with a “Kids Party,” November 23d, at the gym. The little girls of ten, in short dresses, with their teddy bears and dollies, too, had a grand time speaking pieces and playing games. Clionian Eptertains. On December 15th, when the girls of Clionian entertained the members of Athena, Aristotelian and Comitia with a ban- quet. they proved themselves to be not only literary geniuses but specialists in the art of preparing a feed that would sat- isfy the most urgent appetite and would also stir up the most latent form of cold storage hilarity. After the banquet, the hilarious spirit—too powerful to be wholly subdued—was given vent in various forms of amusement, and it was several hours before the atmosphere cooled and the company disbanded. 141 The Football Banquet. The University Football Banquet was held at Hotel Mt. Washington, Saturday evening, December 3d. The Japanese banquet hall was gay with Varsity colors. College spirit was kept alive by the orchestra which filled the air with College songs and popular selections. After a splendid repast, Dr. Healy wras introduced as toastmaster and he introduced the speakers in his usual gracious manner. Prof. Knoles came first, having for his subject, “The Preps.” He was followed by Dean Cromwell, who spoke on the “New Rules and the Old.’’ Captain Malcom was next with “The Varsity.” Dr. Stowell talked on “The Value of the Game.” Byron Stookey then presented Manager Bovard and his assistant, Sam Dick, with watch fobs as a token of the appreciation of the team. Dr. Bovard brought the evening's festivities to a close when lie presented Hall and Wallace each with a fob on behalf of the Institution. Hal Paulin was also given a gold football shoe in the form of a locket. COLLEGE OF MUSIC ALUMNI BANQUET. The Alumni Banquet of the College of Music, which is given annually by the Alumni Association, was held at the Mt. Washington Hotel on June loth, in honor of the graduating class, the Misses Ella Foster, Emma Williams, Esther Bow- man, Eva Webb, Ella Plant, Ruth Martens and Junia Nave. At the close of the banquet, Prof. Skeele spoke of “The Future of the School;” Miss Mabel Chafin read some clever, original verses on the history of the School and each graduate, and Miss Junia Nave gave the class prophecy. MISS TROWBRIDGE IS HOSTESS. One of the most enjoyable and original affairs of the year was a dinner given by Miss Carrie Trowbridge for the Faculty and graduating class of 1910 of the College of Music. As the dinner was given early in May. the May-day idea was appro- priately carried out in the table decorations. The centerpiece was a miniature May-pole wound with blue and gold ribbon, the College, colors, each ribbon leading to a “sweet girl graduate” place card, upon which was written a limerick appropriate to the person. During each course a different guessing contest taxed the intellects of the guests and at the close of the dinner each afforded amusement tor the others by performing a “stunt.” STUDIO RECITALS OF THE COLLEGE OF MUSIC. A number of invitation studio recitals have been given from “time to time” throughout the year by the more advanced of Miss Trowbridge's piano pupils and also by some of Mrs. Robbins’ vocal pupils. These recitals have been held in Miss Trowbridge's artis- tic studio, each pupil furnishing the program for the afternoon. Tea or other refreshments were served at the close of the program, the guests remaining for a social hour. Those who gave these delightful recitals are: Miss Ethel Smith, Miss June Colvin, Miss Edith Palmer, Miss Edwine Vignes, Miss Bess Lincoln, piano pupils; Miss Ruth Aber and Miss Lillian Bachstrand, vocal pupils. COLLEGE OF MUSIC PICNIC. Loaded down with lunches, kodaks and the badges of the picnicker, the staid and dignified Faculty and the hilarious “young things,” all trying to forget their nerve-racking and ear-splitting hours of practice, boarded the car at the Pacific Electric depot on their way to Bay City for the annual College picnic on June 17th. The day was spent in participating in the various beach amusements. The lunch was a decided sue cess and helped to make the picnic enjoyable, and at the close of the day they returned to the city tired but happy and wish- ing everyone else a “jolly” vacation. FACULTY BANQUET. The Faculty of the College of Music enjoyed an elaborate and formal (?) dinner at the Y. W, C. A. in the early part of December. During the repast a particularly pleasant sur- prise came in the form of a message that seats for the entire party had been reserved at the Temple Auditorium, where the Bevani Opera Company was playing Aida. The invitation came presumably through the kindness (?) of Dean Skeele. The dinner and opera were most thoroughly enjoyed bv those present. COLLEGE OF MUSIC—FACULTY CONCERT. The Annual Faculty Concert of the College was given at the University M. E. Church on Monday evening, January 23. Those who took part were: Mrs. Norma Rockhold Robbins, con- tralto; Miss C. Adelaide Trowbridge, piano; Miss Madge Patton, accompanist; Mr. Horatio Cogswell, baritone; Mr. W. H. Mead, flute; Herr Oskar B. Soiling, violin; Mr. W. F. Skeel, organ. Assisted by Miss Ella Gardiner, accompanist; Mrs. Helen Mead Little, flute; Miss Norma Beauchamp, flute; Mr. Fred Hammes, flute; Mr. Richard Bailey, violin. The program, which consisted of the following numbers, was listened to by a large and appreciative audience: PROGRAM. Organ—Finale from Sonata No. 4 Guilmant Baritone—Adelaide -.Beethoven Piano—Nocturne in F sharp ----- Chopin Contralto—Ave Maria ------ Gounod (Violin obligato by Mr. Bailey) Flute Quartette—Rondo and Andante - - . - Gabrielsky Baritone—Border Ballade (By request) - - - Cowen Organ—Rondo Caprice - - - - ' ‘ Buck Violin—Polonaise - - - - - Wieniaivski Contralto—The Nightingale Song - • - - - Nevin Piano—Prelude from Suite Op. 72 - - - - Raff Duo, Contralto and Baritone—The Passage of the Birds - Hildach Baldwin piano kindly furnished by Barker Bros. The Faculty Concert is one of the most enjoyable events of the college year and is looked forward to by all who are inter- ested in music. FINE ARTS EXHIBIT. The Eleventh Annual Exhibition of Paintings held at the College of Fine Arts in October was the most successful exhibition that has been held. Prof. William Lees Judson exhibited twenty-six oils which were exceptionally fine and characteristic of California. Mrs. Helina Heyusen Jahn had two very fine portraits: one of her mother, and a child’s head done in pastel. Mrs. Nell Danley Brooker exhibited nine excellent oils and six color etchings. Miss Arley G. Tottenham had seven water colors in the exhibition. All the paintings exhibited, with the exception of Miss Tottenham’s, were totally destroyed in the fire that consumed the College of Fine Arts on the morning of December 9th, 1910, entailing a loss of thousands of dollars and of work which can never be replaced. THE ALUMNI REUNION BANQUET. June 16, 1910. The twenty-sixth annual banquet of the Alumni Association was held at Hotel Hayward and as each previous reunion has drawn the old and the new graduates into a close association, so this banquet showed that S. C. lives in the hearts and minds of her sons and daughters long after they pass from her halls. The address of the evening was delivered by Lee C. Gates, and was entitled “The College of Life. ” ORATORY FACULTY ENTERTAIN GRADUATES. Among the many events of Commencement week there is always one to which the Oratory students look forward with especial interest. This is the gathering in honor of the Oratory graduates, at which the ladies of the faculty are hostesses. For several years the tea room of the “Copper Kettle” has been the scene of this June farewell. Last year Miss Alma Swain was the honored guest; and the happy time was marred only by the constant regret that Miss Swain would not be with us for the coming year. COLLEGE OF ORATORY ALUMNI BANQUET. The Alumni banquet of the College of Oratory is held annually on Commencement day in compliment to the Seniors. 148 DRAMATICS HISTRIONICS. Since that (.lay in the dim and misty past, on which our noble University was incubated, there have been, with more or less regularity, outbursts of youthful Lewis S. Stones and Mar- jorie Rambeaus, and even, indeed, of embryo Bill Shakespeares. For some inexplicable reason, the Juniors felt it incumbent upon them to display themselves annually behind the footlights, and lask for a fleeting moment in the dazzling glare of the calcium. Even the solemn Seniors, after the final agonies of their last exams, feel called upon to gird up their loins with a two-inch manila rope and sport about the green for a brief hour or so. By special arrangement with the police, lest they be apprehended as fit candidates for the Patton Institute, they are allowed to garb themselves regardless, as it were, and hence we usually view their ideas of some Elizabethan drama. But by far tne most important event in University dramatic life is the annual appear- ance of that aggregation of individuals masking under the appel- lation of the U. S. C. B. C. C. C., which, being translated, means the Minstrel Show. This performance, after the layer of dust has been brushed from the alleged iokes. is certified as a Grouch Remover, and has everything in the line of rib-crackers, roof- raisers, and face-openers backed off the boards. These are the recognized events in the dramatics of the Uni- versity. However, there are numerous recitals and plays pre- sented by the students of oratory, as well as the performances at the various commencement exercises of the several colleges and the preparatory school. The interest shown in this work has given the productions a uniformly high standard, and reflects great credit upon the casts, the coaches, and the University as a whole. THREE QUEENS AND A JOKER, Under the able coaching of Miss Edna .Tune Terry, of the College of Oratory, the Class of ’12 presented, in the University Chapel, on the evenings of December 8 and 9, “Three Queens and a Joker. “ This was a rollicking college farce, dealing with the troubles of one Carlton W. Wilkins, a non-queener, who, in his senior year, forsakes his solitary existence for the more diverting life of a fnsser. Incidentally, through a mistaken date, he has two girls for the Junior Prom, one oPwhom he had never seen. His room-mate, Billy Blakely, is roped into substituting for Wilkins before Miss Humphrey, the girl from Redlands, and just as arrangements are completed, Mrs. Wilkins phones from Redlands that she will chaperone Miss Humphreys to the Prom. Then complications thicken. For those who were so unfortunate as to miss the play, we beg to state that Wilkins finally squared himself with both his mother and the girl from Redlands, went to the Prom with Miss Morgan, the lady of his choice. The satire on sorority life shown in the first act was keenly appreciated. Management. Edna June Terry ■ - - - - - - - CoaMi Earl E. Moody......................- Business Manager W. L.

C. B. C. C. C. Far surpassing all previous efforts, that gifted collection of artists, the U. S. C. B. C. C. C., scored the biggest hit of the season. From the moment that the curtain ascended to the soft, blended harmony of “Swanee River” until Jimmy Desmond decided that no one became anxious over one carry- ing excessive adipose tissue, the two large audiences were kept in a continuous state of interest and enjoyment. Although the performance was somewhat lengthy, no one became wearied, unless because of too much laughing. A novelty introduced in the minstrel was the number of songs. Each ‘ ‘ end’ ’ gave a stunt, and each was warmly encored. Blair and Olmstead in a line of songs and jigs were much appreciated, and from “ Slats” Allan around to ‘‘ Muh’ ’ Bougher, the series of successes was unbroken. In '‘The Piker,” by Roy F. Allan, was shown a clever farce with a surprising degree of originality, especially as to decision. Had that noted Shakespearian actor, Mr. Frederick Warde, heard the flow of slang from the mouths of our stage aspirants, he would have held up his hands in holy horror. The pajama chorus was encored vigorously. Of course, the ladies scored a big hit. The club was very fortunate in its selections for these characters. Tommy Rees as Amy Richards was the cutest ever, and Ted Locke as Molly Ridge could place in any beauty show. All of them, singly and collectively, were declared to be a “ fine bunch of girls. ’ ’ Calvin McCray scored first honors by his animated presentation of Jack Desmond, the football star with social aspirations. Billikin Sterry was the cause of much of the merriment, and was given ample opportun- ity to display his irrepressibility in the lines of Jimmy Desmond. Billy Dunn, the man who tried to wreck Jack’s society stunt, was cleverly portrayed by Ben Thompson. Bert Bougher and Archie Chamlee as George Pike and Alexander Jones, colored gentlemen of the road, were given a hearty ovation on their appearance. Musical Program of Minstrel.

C Oratory received an early and sturdy development at U. S. C. It was established on such a strong foundation and was given such an impetus that the majority of succeeding years have been crowned with the wreath of victory. In 1892, an oratorical association was organized. It created such enthusiasm that Thos. R. Warren was enabled to win the first Intercollegiate Oratorical Contest ever held among the colleges of the south. The next year we lost to Occidental, but the next three years the laurel wreath stayed at home, being won by Lincoln Caswell, Homer Putnam and F. C. Ml Spencer. The year 1897 was a lucky one for Pomona, the victory going to E. Hahn. The next two years E. B. Bradley and H. I. Preistly added two more victories for our Alma Mater. The years 1900 and 1901 were again fortunate ones for Pomona, but we came back for the year 1902, when Mr. Guiberson won for us. Occi- dental then awoke for two victories, after a slumber of nine years, Mr. Walker winning in 1903 and Mr. J. P. Hagerman in 1904. In 1905, Charles Scott, representing U. S. C., proved a winner, thus paving the way for his brother, Ben, in 1910. The next five years, with the exception of 1907, when Whittier won the championship, saw victory perching on our standards. E. B. Garcia, O. W. E. Cook, Leslie F. Gay and Ben D. Scott being the heroes. It is not only in the regular intercollegiate contests that we have achieved honors, but in the Prohibition and Peace contests as well. In these, however, the precedent has not yet been established that the victory belongs to U. S. C. This may be due to the youth of the contests. Furthermore, the intercollegiate contest has drawn our best men because of the monetary reward offered. For many years, up to last year, a one hundred dollar cash prize has been offered to the winner of the local contest. Seventy-five of this came from a friend of the University. This amount was withdrawn last year. The other twenty-five dollars is given by the Pin Alpha fraternity. Last year saw a new field opened up for U. S. C. For the first time we met one of the Conference Colleges in debate. Although we were defeated, we are not discouraged and are thoroughly determined to hold our own with any of the colleges this year if a schedule can be arranged. ve welcome tuis step that has been taken for we feel that our career has been a little bit one-sided. With the development of debating we can feel ourselves more on the basis of the larger eastern colleges. Although our career has been a good one in oratory and debate, yet we feel that it could have been better if the fight- ing spirit of the student body had been back of our representa- tives. Our debaters and orators have not had the support of the students that is due them—-due them out of respect for themselves, to say nothing of our Alma Mater. Just as much support is due the man on the rostrum as the man on the grid- iron. It requires the burning of much midnight oil and a great nervous strain for a man to fit himself to represent his Alma Mater in either oratory or debate. So we take this occasion to make a plea to the loyal students of U. S. C. to rally to a greater development of this department of student activities. “ There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; neglected, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and miseries.” Such is the state of affairs in oratory and debate at U. S. C. OUR RECORD IN ORATORY AND DEBATE. We have met Pomona twenty-eight times and defeated her twenty-three times. We have met Occidental twenty-nine times and defeated her twenty times. We have met Whittier nine times and defeated her six times. 148 The Prohibition Contest The annual Prohibition Contest of 1910 was an epoch- making one. It was one that placed U. S. C. before the Coast and the Nation. It was but an indication of our marvelous growth along intellectual lines. The local contest was held on April 4th in the College Chapel. There was much spirit in this contest because of the strong men who aspired for the first honors. Mr. McEuen spoke on 1 Prohibition and the Constitution.” He showed that the spirit of the constitution was prohibition and the liquor traffic was therefore illegal. Mr. Kuhnle gave “The Call to Duty.” This was an appeal to the voters to recognize the economic and moral aspect of the liquor business. Mr. Robin son gave a strong oration on “America's New Awakening.” He showed that it was not more enlightenment concerning the evil of the saloon that was needed but an awakened public conscience. Mr. Nichols closed the contest with “The Saloon Versus the State.” He showed that the state was inconsistent in tolerating an institution within itself contrary to its own purpose. The judges decided that Mr. Robinson deserved first honors, Mr. Kuhnle second, Messrs. McEuen and Nichols should divide the honors for third place. Mr. Robinson met Mr. Haskell of Occidental, the only rep- resentative from the other southern colleges, on May 16tli. Mr. Gaskell spoke on “Opportunity and Necessity.” Mr. Robinson, by his eloquent delivery, carried the house and the judges with him, thus giving to U. S. C. another victory over Occidental and giving her first place among the Conference Colleges. By virtue of this victory, Mr. Robinson represented Southern California in the Pacific Coast contest at McMinn- ville, Oregon, on May 31st. Here Mr. Robinson contended against the largest universities and colleges in the West. Stan- ford, California and the Universities of Washington, Oregon and Idaho sent their best orators only to be defeated in gain- ing first honors by our own representative. As in the local and intercollegiate contests, the eloquence of Mr. Robinson won the contest for him. Mr. Robinson did not stop here, but . carried the colors of the West to Valparaiso,' Ind., to engage the representatives of the East for national honors. We are glad- to say that the honors showered on our Alma Mater did not come, only from the West, but the proud East paid tribute to her. Mr. Robin1 son, in point of eloquence, was given first above all other con test ants. The judges, however, agreed that his thought and composition did not compare with the sage learning of the eastern colleges and consequently was given third place. Mr. Robinson wras the third representative we have had in the state contest and the second in the national, which, even with- out the winning of first honors in the latter, speaks well for our institution. THE PEACE CONTEST. In a spirited lc-eal tryout held before the assembly, Miss Edith M. Romig won the honor of representing tlie University in the intercollegiate contest and the added honor of being the only young woman who has thus far represented U. S. G. in oratorical competition with any college. Miss Rcmiig’s victory in the home contest was not a sinecure, for she met “all comers,” defeating Mr. Thompson in “America, the Leader for Universal Peace,” and Mr. Kuhnle in “The Higher Patriotism. ” Although the victory was not an easy one, there was no doubt in the minds of any who saw and heard that the decision was awarded justly. The final contest occurred Thursday evening, May 26th, 1910, in the auditorium of Occidental College. This was the second annual prize oratorical contest of the Southern Califor- nia Peace Society. The following orations were delivered: “Good Will . Toward Men,” Miss Romig; “The Present Crisis,” Raymond McConnell, Pomona; “The Dawn of Univer: sal Peace,” Harold Pellegrin, Occidental. When the ;nidges retired to draw up their decision it was found that Miss Romig and Mr. Pellegrin had tied for first place. In point of thought and competition Miss Romig’s ora tion far surpassed those of her opponents, receiving a grand average of 98 2-3 per cent, on this score. The speech was a model of structural symmetry, polished in its diction, compre- hensive in its scope. While Miss Romig’s delivery was the perfection of combined grace and strengtn, the judges marked her relatively low in this respect. Consequently the decision was awarded to Mr. Pellegrin, in accordance with a ruling that in case of a tie, the first place should go to the speaker receiv- ing the highest marks in delivery. ORATORICAL AND DEBATING MONOGRAM. The interest in oratory and debate took a new turn in the last student body election, when an amendment was almost unanimously passed stating that “a separate and distinct mon- ogram shall be awarded to the winners of intercollegiate oratorical and debating contests.” This satisfies a long-felt need as a stimulus to oratory. It will give those working in this line something to look forward to. It means a lasting reward for their work. It requires just as much nerve and hard work, and more brain, to bring a victory to our Alma Mater in oratory and debate than it does a victory on the gridiron. What seems strange is the fact that this honor was not awarded long ago. Mr. Robinson, winner of the Intercollegiate Prohibition Contest, was the first to wear the monogram. FIRST INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATE. May 24, 1910, at Occidental. Affirmative—Occidental. Negative-—U S. 0. Victor Ford Collins, Frank Carrell, Harold F. Pellegrin, Capt., Frank W. Robinson, Philips F.

The second intercollegiate debate of the Law School for the year 1909-1910 was with Cornell on April 8, 1910. The question was, Resolved that the municipalities of the United States should adopt the Commission form of government. The Law School team, composed of Messrs. White, Ham and Heffle- iinger, supported the affirmative. In three careful, businesslike speeches and a masterful rebuttal our boj'S met the polished speeches of their eastern opponents point by point and most of us thought that they had won the debate.

The local tryout for the Oratorical Contest occurred in the College Chapel on the evening of March 10. The College of Law was determined to win and win she did. She had three rep- resentatives, as did also Liberal Arts. Mr. LaPorte gave ‘ ‘ A Challenge to Civilization. ’ ’ This was an appeal for humane treatment of the Russian Jew. He received first honors in thought and composition, but was forced to take second place in the final count. Mr. Snyder of Law School took a decided stand against woman suffrage in ‘ ‘ The Making of an American. ’’ Mr. McEuen ably dealt with the great immigration question in ‘‘ America, the Apostle of Freedom. ’ ’ He was awarded third place. Mr. Knopf spoke on “Universal Brotherhood.” Mr. Lyans of Law Sehool spoke on “Individual Initiative, ’ ’ and showed America’s great need of individual char- acter in her citizens. Mr. Daniels closed the. contest with much eloquence and force of delivery in his oration on the negro prob- lem. He chose for his subject, “America’s Great Opportunity.” He was awarded first place.' Mr. Daniels met Occidental and Pomona on the next Satur- day at Occidental. Whittier failed to enter a contestant. Mr. Daniels was inspired by a large (???) and enthusiastic delegation from U. S. C. (We believe that there were two present. Shame be upon us!) Mr. Joseph G. Garrison, of Pomona, delivered a eulogy on Thomas Paine and won first place. Occidental was represented by Mr. Leslie L. Boyd, whose oration dealt with “America’s Opportunity.” Mr. Boyd gained second honors for his college. Mr. Daniels was awarded third place. He stood first in delivery, but the judges decreed that his thought and composition did not meet the requirements. This was the twentieth annual contest. Of these we have won twelve. We can still be ahead in the average for several years to come, even though we lose more contests. But we must not lose. We should begin now to think about next year’s con- test. We take this opportunity to appeal to the strongest men in school to enter this contest next year and show the other colleges of the south that we have a real and effective interest in oratory and orators. JOURNALISM AT U. S. C. The recording of college activities and the expressing of college sentiment is a big task in a school where there is activ- ity to record and sentiment to express. In some institutions the work could easily be done by the scrub lady outside of working hours, or by the water man when he comes to collect back rent, but U. S. C. has enough to report to keep a large staff of her very best students busy the year round. The work very naturally falls into two divisions: keeping a record of the college year, and publishing weekly the ordinary doings on the campus. The first part of this work is done by El Rodeo— the round-up of the year; the second, by the Courier. Although the first El Rodeo was published by the Class of 1899, the proposition was not carried further, so that the second volume did not appear until the Class of 1908, with Herman Beckwith and Christine Westrem, as editors, had decided to make El Rodeo an established part of school life. This book, handsomely bound in black leather, was a volume of three hundred pages and in general formed the pat- tern for succeeding efforts. The Class of 1909, with Leslie Gay, Jr., and Chester Bowers in charge, brought forward a great advance in the third volume. The book was much larger and more complete, the particular features being its strong art work and its flawless workmanship. The Class of 1910 made still a larger record of the year’s progress, the fourth volume containing four hundred pages. The cartoon work is particu- larly good and the josh department, gathered together in a Kolledge Kids’ Kompanion, was a delightful bit of originality that has been adopted since by many schools throughout the country. Clyde Collison and Edwin Crall were in charge of the book. Volume V., by Sam Dick and Ben Scott, for the Class of 1911, was a worthy round-up of a very successful year. The old plan of grouping was revised and an innovation intro- duced in the form of cartoons of different colors to mark off the divisions of the book. Although it is yet too early for more than prophecy, the plans for El Rodeo, 1912, predict a worthy successor to the illustrious five just mentioned. El Rodeo is a University book giving to each school a complete account of its work for the year and striving to show its readers a summary in toto of the progress of each college, and is one of the great unifying forces of the school. Its pub lishing involves the expense of some twenty-five hundred dol- lars, and months of tireless labor on the part of the editors and manager. The work of the Courier—to trace the doings of the school from week to week, and to keep constant watch of college sen- timent, although far different, is scarcely easier. The editor- ship of the Courier is the most powerful office that can be entrusted to a student, since with it goes the opportunity of influencing and shaping thought and action on the campus—a responsibility far greater than that of recording the actions this influence has brought about. The Courier dragged a pre- carious and uncertain existence until 1905, when it began to take a place of some importance in college life. The first Courier was a small, four-page sheet, but as its position and prestige have increased it has expanded until the Courier of today is a neat magazine of sixteen pages, well printed and carefully edited. The management, under Mr. Taft, has brought the paper from a state of uncertainty, such that the editor always carefully prepared his copy so that his material would be interesting whether it should appear that week or two months later, to a basis so assured that the weekly appear- ance of the Courier is as certain as the daily rising of the sun. My. Scott, by clever editorials and interesting news writing, has made the paper a popular and influential factor in school life. Journalism at U. S. C. is only beginning to assume the place its importance warrants, and with the expanding of the University in the years immediately ahead, the college publi- cations should grow to magnificent proportions. 153 Malcom. Captain 1910 The Football Se ason “Blest be the tie that binds.” Isn’t it funny how we free-born Americans do stick to a precedent and then laugh at our English brethren for that same characteristic. As usual, the beginning of the season was overcast with gloom. Our Captain-elect and quarterback, Sid Ickes, entered Dartmouth and left us without a general. But soon things began to look up. That incomparable one-hundred-five-pound quarter from last year’s Law School team entered Liberal Arts. The members of the team soon came together and elected Jack Malcom, the All-Southern California guard, as their captain. The overcasting gloom was soon dispelled, and for the first time in the year the coach’s hat reached the back of his head. The season opened with the Fresh-Soph game. “Babe” Hill repeated his stunt of last year’s class game by making a touch-down from a forward pass near the end of the last quarter. Score: Sophs 5—Fresh 0. A few days later the Upperclassmen took a try at the “Babes” and came off with a 0—0 score although showing more class than the Sophs in their game. After this introduction to the college game and a couple of weeks of training, the babies showed that they had imbibed a good deal of the U. S. C. spirit by downing the Oxjr freshmen to the tune of 28—0. After these preliminaries everybody settled down to the business of a Varsity season. Query: “Why do so many men get discouraged and drop out early in the season when the season invariably closes short of men?” The usual number of early season accidents occurred. Malcom and Allan each wrenched a knee, Wallace sprained a shoulder, Cohn injured his ribs, Davis fractured an ankle, and several minor injuries were received by the players. However, that “do or die” spirit kept everybody up and at it. The first practice game of the season was with Long Beach High School. Score: 22—6. The next was with Ontario High School. Score: 65—6. These games showed that we had good material, and men who could be counted on to score when an opportunity offered, but they also showed that somebody had to wake up or every team with a fast back or end could score on us. Also we had to develop the ability to make oppor- tunities to score. In the next game, with Throop Academy, score 9—0, the team showed that they were learning these things. The much-vaunted Throop veteran baekfield was unable to get through our defence, while we were able to force their heavier line down the field and score. Allan, Captain Elect 1911 155 Thou came the trip to San Diego, which ended so disas- trously for Bob Davis’s aspirations, but which showed that “Babe Hill could be counted on to score against any team if the slightest opportunity were given him. In the next game, with the University of Redlands, score 35—0, that old stand-by, Keu Wallace, showed that he was here to stay and so we felt better about the end positions. And then everybody tightened their belts and got ready for our time-honored custom of denuding the Tiger of a few stripes. The Oxy Game. Before five thousand frenzied rooters, the gridiron braves of Occidental and U. S. 0. gamely fought out the first battle for the football supremacy of—sh! Rats!—this isn’t the Sun- day Examiner. But where shall we start? Oh! it might be with any one of that team of stars who so beautifully and thoroughly accomplished that afore-mentioned time honored stunt. We have Occidental’s word for it that their team put up a wonderful defensive game. Well, we went them one better and beat them at their defensive game and in the mean- time ran up a nice little score. We all remember the game with its more than sixty punts, its two-place kicks, its sixteen forward passes—fifteen by S. C.—and its innumerable bucks and runs. The story of the game has been read and re-read, told and re-told. It remains only to permanently record some of the individual things which rendered every man on the team dear to us and earned for every one of them a place of honor on our roll of football heroes. Hal played the game of his career. His booting made the score and did a great deal toward getting the ball close enough to score. Also he was there on plunges. Some little fullback. Tommy Cohn showed that nobody had it on him when it came to running in punts and lie handled the team like a veteran. Walt Hall showed some pretty good forerunners of his later- season open field runs which made .us sit up and hold our breaths as man after man tackled him and missed. “Blondy” Lund showed that we had a new star rising in the U. S. C. firmament. “Turk” Hunter nearly gave us heart failure several times by getting nearly away after plunging through that “ wonderful defense. ” . Skinner came within a foot and a half of touch down right through Oxy, but the side line was too close. Those fifteen forward passes, netting 175 yards, and the fact that Oxy backs looked like freight trains when they tried to circle our ends speaks loud and clear of the work of 156 Hill, Wjallace, Martin and Hummel. Bet how can we say enough of the work of that line. The werk of a ba3k or an end stands o t. but the line men work and work and nDihing shows to the bleachers but they are bearing the brunt of the attack, both on offense and defense. Man for man they played Oxy:s line to a standstill. Not satisfied with this, some one of them was always breaking through and mussing up WeimanV choicest offerings. All honor to Malcom, Allan, Kellar, 'Stookey, Single, Kurrle. Kaprielian and Henderson for the work they did. Gne more big “ Ra3kety-Haekety ” for the whole bunch ami we will retire them in loving memory to the ranks of tr.e “ Tiger-hunters ’ who have gone before. Whittier Game. If there is anyone in our student body who has a weak heart, he can thank his lucky stars he stayed at home that gloomy, rainy day when we enjoyed the little visit with our Quaker friends. Our team had the usual slump after the Oxy game and Whittier proceeded to take advantage of it. Three times in the first quarter the Whittier fullback took aim at our goal posts and three times he missed. The fourth time he was not to be denied and the ball went true and fell with a thump that said 3—0 against U. S. C. But a crowd that will go to Whittier in the rain is a crowd that will yell. They were there to spur the team to victory and they meant to do it. That first intermission was just one continuous S. C. yell-fest. Then the team began to wake up to the fact that Whittier had at last located on the gridiron map and it was time for them to get to work. The whistle at the beginning of the first quarter was the starting signal for the TJ. S. C. procession and we surely “pro- ceshed.” Incidentally “Babe” Hill picked up a fumble and ambled through the Quaker crowd for a touchdown, and Hal kicked another field goal, but these are only side issues. The main event was the smashing of the end runs by Hill and the backfield tackling of Tommy. It would have done your , heart good to see “Babe” Hill slip around that Quaker interference anrl then drop the runner after said interference thought the3r had him laid away. And then to see Tommy do the squeeze act on Big Benneker’s knees and make him once again embrace old Mother Earth would just make you sit up and laugh, while a tear of pride crept out of the corner of your eye as you thought that that little runt was doing this for the school you loved; The rest of the men on the team were playing a style of ball in the meantime which made Whittier think there were some few things about football that she had yet to learn. “The White Squadron,” with their “just from Chicago” forward pass, couldn’t hold a candle to Cromwell’s old “'Ironsideswith their all-around knowledge of the game. The Pomona Game. Dear reader, the writer sits up and says, “How can I do it justice?” and his assistant says, “You can’t.” They will cheerfully proceed to try it anyhow for the deed must be done. It was Hall’s last game. It was Hal’s last game. It was Wallace’s last game. The championship was in sight. Before the game Hal was clear up in the air. His leg felt like a wooden Indian’s. But he made one field goal and came so close to two others that from the bleechers we wonuered how the referee could see such a close distinction. It was a case of Greek meet Greek, and Pomona had the field. If they had missed the first goal we would have gotten them. If the man who signaled from the sidelines, and received an ebony lamp from “Casey,” had kept quiet, Wallace would have won the game and fame from a side line forward pass. If somebody had not held, in the excitement of the last quarter, Lund would have taken it over on the next buck. But there is that “if.” 158 However, Pomona plays a gentleman’s game of football and they tied us. All this goes to say that it was the fiercest, cleanest, fastest and most wildly exciting game ever seen in the Southland. They say that Shutt is the fastest backfield man in the South, but it certainly looked to us as if Hall and Lund made it a trio. Walt, we take off our hats to you as the peer of all clean, loyal, Christian sportsmen we ever numbered amongst us. Long will we remember that forty-yard run, fol- lowed by the buck right over for the first touchdown on Pomona in two years. And right here we venture to predict that, barr- ing accident, LeValle Lund will chase “Dutch” Shutt up a tree next year and take his little leading star “rep” right away from him. You have heard of Clary “of the piillion dollar toe.” We wouldn’t trade Hal’s for it, not if they threw in a written guarantee. Just count up the field goals in the Conference games this year and you will find that Hal’s five made just as many points as the five made by that “million dollar toe.” And what shall we say of Roy Allan, who not only carried all the signals for the different passes in his head, but played the greatest game at center in the South this year. Gillette, Pomona’s center, says: “I played loose center all the game against Occidental (against the great Paterson, mind you) but Allan kept me busy at my own position.” Right you are, Gillette, and added to that, your busiest wasn’t enough. We are perfectly satisfied that in our Captain-elect we have the fastest and most aggressive, as well as one of the cleanest linemen in the South. Then there is “Silent” Kellar, whom Coach says would make All-Southern if he would just lie around long enough after a tackle to let the onlookers see who stopped the man. But “Silent” is usually the first man back in the line with never a word. And there are all the others who fought so well for the old school we all love. All honor to all our team of gentlemanly sportsmen who went through the big- gest season ever seen in the South undefeated. All the men in all the games deserved individual mention, but space forbids. Nevertheless, their names are indelibly stamped on the memories of those who saw them play, and learned to love them for their clean, sportsmanlike fight for old U. S. C. One last word of praise and thanks to the scrubs who got out faithfully all year and took all the hard bumps and knocks without a murmur and without hope of reward. The scrub is the gamest sportsman of them all. “Prep Football The “Prep” football team gained a good reputation by their showing this year. They did not get the championship, but were one of the four teams which tied for it. The cham- pionship would undoubtedly have been theirs hut for the inju- ries which kept some of the players out of the most important games. The success of the team was largely due to the coaching they received from Ralph Rader, formerly of St. Vincent’s. He understands all the fine points of the game, especially as it is played under the new rules. The players all liked Ralph because he possessed a personality which appealed to them. Every man on the team admired him as a coach and as a man. The team next year will be weakened by the loss of such men as Stabler, Wallace, Record and the “Three Twins”, Huston Foster and Wright. Farrell, Ayers and Scott will also be miss- ing from the ranks. Some of these men are lost through grad- uation and others for divers reasons. “Bub” Obear at center was the nerviest player on the squad. Although this was his first year, he played all over the field and outplayed his opponent in every game. He made cen- ter on the All-Southern Prep team easily. “Fat” Clement played right guard and played it well. His superior weight and strength made his opponents seem as dwarfs when “Fat” got started. He will be the mainstay of the line on the team next 3rear. George Farrell played left guard and was always there with the dope when the time came to dish it out. He lacked experi- ence, but under careful coaching and encouragement from the sidelines he showed real class as a lineman. Loren Ayers played both guard and tackle and was a good strong man in either position. He has the w?eight and experi- ence and filled any vacancy on the line to the satisfaction of the coach. Clarence Reiche played right tackle and was “there a million” when it came to making a hole and breaking up plays back of the opponent’s line. He will be the most aggressive lineman on next year’s team. “Big” Scott, left tackle. He was the best man in the line. He had every quality a star tackle should possess. He was chosen for a position on the All-Southern Prep team. Wo were certainly lucky when we landed such a husky as Scott. 160 “Art” Record played a wonderful game at right tackle until injuries kept him out of the game. This was his first year and he surely made a good 1 ‘ Record. ’ ’ He was exceedingly fast and seemed to be a natural-born football player. James Black, right end. This man was a steady, consistent player. He was “there” when it came to catching passes and dumping up plays. Black will be seen no more in Prep ranks, as he goes to the U. S. C. Dental College next year. “Bob” Huston, end and half. This fellow, though a ter- rible “fusser”, is a shark at playing football. He was “there with bells” when it came to picking forward passes out of the atmosphere. He tackled fiercely, but always kept as cool as a “lion tamer.” Two years on the All-Southern Prep team. “Nuffsaid.” Todd Wright, quarter and end. At running the team, play- ing in the back field and breaking up plays Todd is hard to beat. He is an ideal field general, and although a natural player, he works hard all the time. The Varsity will be greatly strengthened by the addition of Todd. “Wife” Foster, end and quarter. Some demon, this kid. Small, but oh my! It is his second year of football, but he played like a veteran of many seasons. He was up and going all the time and seemed never to give out. “Louie” Chamlee, left half. Captain-elect for 1911. “Louie” could always be counted on to gain his yards. He was a hard man to stop, as he fought for every inch. Under his able leadership the team should have a prosperous season next year. Claude Scott, better known as 11 Scotty.’ This man played right half. He was speedy and a very hard tackier. “Scotty” was too much of a student to ever be a real football hero. When “Shoes” Wallace dons his “moleskins” he is the hardest man to stop in the South. He has played three years and has been a star in every game. He seemed to be the whole spirit and strength of the team. His line bucking and ability to handle the forward pass has won him a place on the All- Southern team for two consecutive seasons. He is the best fullback seen in the South for a long time. The Varsity will find him a valuable acquisition. Captain “Dike” Stabler was out of the game most of the season because of a badly sprained ankle, but had he been in all the games it is not likely that the team would have suffered a defeat during the season. He played left half and was just suited to the position under the new rules. He was very fast and tackled with great force. Everyone felt sure of a score when “Cap” was there to tear through the line. “Son” Chrysler, general utility man. This player was a great help to the team as he could play any position. He will be one of the mainstays of next year’s aggregation. He is a comer who should be encouraged with an eye toward future Varsity material. Riley, Wintrode, Scott, Spencer, Beckett, “Pinky” and Stiny were the reserves. These men were a great help to the team and could “deliver the gooas” when called upon. They should greatly strengthen next year’s team. PREP SCORES. Preps—6, vs. Santa Ana—5. Preps—28, vs. Oxy Preps—0. Preps—0, vs. Throop—3. Preps—10, vs. Santa Monica—0. Preps—0, vs. Pasadena—3.

The response to the call of Coach Cromwell was not very great at first, and the track outlook was rather gloomy. The loss of Lennox was greatly felt, and we did not know whether Captain-elect Harry Trotter would be back or not. The, annual interclass meet was pulled off just before Christmas vacation, and although there were several close finishes, no great “ class’’ wTas developed and very few new men showed up well. However, Hansen in the sprints, Chaffee in the high jump and Smith in the mile, did creditably, consid- ering the lack of training, and all the veterans seemed to be in fair shape. After Christmas vacation training started in earnest and soon Coach had quite a bunch running around the track, or working with the weights, while quite a number of aspirants practiced daily at the jumps or with the pole. Still there seemed to be a general air of lack of interest all through the student body and nowhere _near .the proper number of men were trying out. This §eemi� g indifference on the part of the student body was. injuriously, felt by .the. track team during the entire season. Manager Bovard arranged for a series of practice meets, but fortune seemed against us and Saturday after Saturday it rained. The unusual amount, of rainfall interfered so much that none of the schools was able to .train sufficiently, and this accounts for the lack of new records this year and for the slow time in many of the events. The first meet of the season was a practice meet with Bur- bank High School. The track was wet and slow, and the meet only served to give the fellows a little outside competition. The following Saturday we met L. A. High, and this meet fur- nished several good races. A very close meet was expected, but McClure was unable to compete, and our hilltop friends proved rather easy, though worthy opponents. On Saturday. Feb. 25, we met Oxy in the first intercollegiate meet of the year. Pomona had defeated them decisively the Saturday previous and this meet served somewhat as a basis of comparison between Pomona ’s team aiid ours. With Throop out of the meet, we were still able to run up almost as large a score against our Tiger adversaries as the Sagebrush contingent had registered. Martin easily won both sprints, with Hansen a close second in the 220. Walt Hall ran away from the field in the half mile, and Smith loafed in yards to the good in the mile, giving us the first glimpse of his 1 class ’ ’ in that event. Wallace won from Bradbeer, last season’s record holder, caus- ing great consternation among the Oxyites. Stine won the low hurdles, beating Dill by a good margin. In the shot put a new first-place man was discovered in Montgomery, a lanky-built Freshman, who showed signs of future “class.’’ Two other new first-place men leaped into prominence, Chaffee in the high jump and Freeman in the broad. The two-mile went, as usual, to the opponents. The final result was: U. S. C., 81; Oxy, 50. The following Saturday we met Stanford and our hopes were high. On dope we had a chance, but alas and alack, dope “never won nothin’ The track was slow' and heavy, but in spite of this the meet was full of sensations, and one record was broken, Horine of Stanford going 6 ft. 2 5-8 in. in the high jump. The first event was the mile run, and it proved a good opener for the day’s sports. Smith won from Lee of Stanford in the good time of 4 min. 39 1-3 sec. But the next event, the 100, proved a disappointment. Throop was only able to tie Smitherim, while Martin failed to place. The 220 was another disappointment, Coleman won from Throop, while Martin fought out a game tie for third with Smitherim. Throop had a decided off day, and this, coupled with Stine’s tumble in the low hurdles, when he was yards in the lead, accounts for a good share of Stanford’s majority of points. Walt Hall again won the half, after a game race, and we had the very unique treat of seeing the U. S. C. men finish ahead of the opponents in the high hurdles, Ward, Hunter and Olmstead doing the trick. Harry Trotter placed first in the shot put to celebrate his return to the team, but in the other field events we lost ground. In the relay a great sensation was furnished when Martin, running the third lap, turned a yard and a half loss into a two-yard lead against Smitherim, but Throop was unable to hold his own against Coleman and lost by a few inches. The final score was: Stanford, 71%; U. S. C., 50%. Dame Fortune and the Weather Man combined seemed to weary in opposing us, and the Saturday of the meet with Pomona for the championship was bright and warm. But our fortune seemed Pomona’s misfortune, for their men were forced to spend four wearisome hours on the train on account of wash- outs. This undoubtedly accounts for a good deal of the poor showing they made, although we firmly believe that our men would have won the championship without this aid. The mile went to Fisher of Pomona, but he had the race of his life 163 betting Smith, in the fast tine of 4 min. 32 sec. Throop was back in form and easily defeated Gillette in the 100 and 220, while Martin took third in the shorter event. Hunter and Olm- stead placed in that order in the high hurdles, while Stine won in the law. The quarter was a cinch for Walton and Wallace, and Hall took his third first place in the half mile. Walt ran a iap of the relay too soon after this, however, and nearly finished himself for the rest of the season. Chaffee in the high jump and Montgomery in the 3hot put repeated their stunt of the previous Saturday, and “Pete” Richardson annexed ten points in ahe hammer throw and pole vault, Freshman WatkinB tieing for second in the latter event. In the relay Pomona recovered some of her lost laurels when Lorbeer proved too much for Walton, and gained a lead which Wallace could not overcome against the speedy Gillette. In all, U. S. C. won eleven out of fifteen first places, the final score standing 73% to 57%. The Conference meet on the following Saturday proved a decided reversal of our victory over Pomona in the dual meet. However, if the score in the quarter had been reversed, as it might well have been if that “spill” had not occurred, a very different story would have resulted. But to the facts. Fisher again won the mile, with Smith second. Throop won from Gil- lette in the 100, but was set back for jumping the gun in the 220 and could not overcome the lead. Stine again won the low hurdles, giving him a clean record for the Conference season. In the half Hall, weakened by the relay of the Saturday previous, was unable to keep pace with Walton in his record-breaking sprint, but finished a good second. Walton’s time was 2:00%, setting a new Southern California record. Montgomery placed first in the shot put, giving him a clean season record, and Tommy Cohn gave us a first in the broad jump. “Pete” was outclassed in the hammer by Barnes and Metcalf, both throwing over 130 feet, but he made good his season’s first in the pole vault. Chaffee could not get his step in the high jump, and Bogart fell down in the discus, although he made a higher mark in the dual with Pomona than the winning throw here. Pomona had their usual landslide in the two-mile, and capped the meet by winning the relay in conference record time, 3:29%. The final score stood: Pomona, 62%; U. S. C., 52%; Oxy, 19, Whittier, 1. 164 In the trip north there were several events worthy of notice. At California, U. S. C. won six first places and tied for the seventh. Smith won the mile in 4:32 and Ward high jumped 6 ft. 2 in. Walton finished a close second in the half, the race being run in the very fast time of 1:58%. U. S. C. won the relay. At Stanford Throop won the 220 in 22% sec.,, and Wallace ran a very close second to Dawson in the quarter, the time being 51% sec. The results were: At California, 80-42; at Stanford, 90-32. As regards results, the season was a success and the entire team are to be congratulated on their good work. But from the manager’s viewpoint it was rather a disastrous season. The student body failed to support the team and the management, and as lack of attendance means lack of gate receipts, the man- agement was left in the hole. However, better things are expected next year. 165 WEARERS OF THE “S. C. 1910-1911 Football Roy Allen Jack Malcom Stewart Kellar Forrest Single Michael Kaprielian R.

Basketball has never excited much enthusiasm in the Acad- emy until the present season, when the excellent work of the team began to attract attention. Although the team got a late start and was prevented from entering the Interscholastic League by the extended football season, they made an excel- lent record, having won eight games out of twelve contests. The team was not made up of stars, but was composed of fast, consistent players who always did their best and did not know the word quit. Although the team made an excellent record this year, the prospects are still rosier for next season. Harry Sowden has been elected Captain and most of the team will return for positions. With the student body back of them they should win the championship. This season Leigh Moses, a crack veteran, and Harry Sow- den, also of last year's team, played at the forward positions, while Herschel Griffin at center showed class. Homer Watson, Homer Humes and James Black took care of guard positions. The team rolled up a score of 276 to their opponents ’ 194 during the season. TLe Varsity Basketball Team TENNIS. Tennis has rapidly become one of the most popular sports in Southern California. As its popularity advanced in the South, it took a firm hold in intercollegiate athletics and today is one of the leading branches in college activities. Tennis activities are managed by two tennis clubs, one composed of the ladies of the University and the other com- posed of the gentlemen. Early each year try-out tournaments are held and the better players are admitted into the clubs. By this method the tennis interests are looked after by the tennis players and the system is giving great satisfaction. The officers of the Ladies’ Tennis Club for 1911 were Miss Gertrude Comstock, President, and Miss Bertha Hidd-en, Secretary and Treasurer; and of the Gentlemen’s Tennis Club,;Mr. G. Bromley Oxnam, President, and Mr. Edward J. Hummel, Secretary and Treasurer. Each year after the intercollegiate tournaments are played -he school holds two tournaments to decide the lady and gentle- man champion of the University. Last year Miss Mildred Taft ivon the ladies’ championship with Miss Florence Hurst as sec- ond. Mr. Oxnam won the gentlemen’s championship after a Team, 1911 hard battle with Mr. Barrat Hanawalt. The doubles champion- ship again fell to the professors, Prof. Arnold and Prof. Willett winning from Walton and Oxnam by a narrow margin. U. S. C. was especially fortunate last September when six high school champions enrolled as Freshmen. Tennis prospects immediately became bright and soon the tournaments to choose the team were under way. The team chosen from the showing made in the tournaments was composed of six members, five of whom were Freshmen and naturally we are sure of a strong team during the next two or three years. Our first intercollegiate tournament was played at the Hotel Mt. Washington. All of our men did well, but especially Mr. Kenneth Newell, first man on the Varsity, who won the title of the second player in the Southern California colleges. Our annual tournament with Occidental quickly followed, with Misses Lily Kingcade and Beatrice Bingham, Messrs. Newell, Oxnam, Chaffee and Morrow representing the Varsity. Occidental had an exceptionally strong team this year. Mr. Mace, the Southern California champion, was in a class by him- self, winning every event in which he entered. This destroyed our chances of winning the tournament, but when wre consider the strength of the Occidental team, U. S. C. may justly feel proud that she held the score to 32-14. However, we were far stronger than our opponents in the ladies’ events, winning both singles and doubles. Miss Kingcade by defeating Miss Merrill won the title of lady champion of the Conference colleges, with her team-mate, Miss Bingham, as second. The annual tournaments with Pomona, Whittier and Red- lands will be played later in the year and plans are under way to send a team to the collegiate tournament at Ojai as well as to send a team to meet the University of Arizona at Tucson the early part of next year. U. S’ C. is looking forwrard to winning the Conference championship next’ year and the prospects for having a stronger team than ever are more than bright. ISO JOLLY-UPS. The football jolly-up season was a “ howling’9 success; it reflected great credit upon the jolly-up Committee, it produced the Burly-Bailey-Mattoon-Hall noise combination which was responsible for the biggest Rooters’ Club that ever yelled together, it brought out the only band that ever learned to murder music systematically, it discovered to the student body the value of “spirit,’9 and it helped to bring home the cham- pionship rag. The jolly-up of the season was the big bonfire rally scientifically known to history as the Tiger Bust, and mathematically inclined to have brought out the greatest num- ber of students that ever attended a jolly-up on the bleachers. The program was led off by the Roman parade, in which Oxy’s effigy was dragged around the campus at Captain Malcom s chariot wheels, and after which there trailed the heroes, the torch bearers, the band, the rooters, and the co-eds, to say nothing of the faculty, the small boys of the neighborhood and other necessary accompaniments. With the singing of Alma Mater the parade wound through the field to the bleachers, where speech making occupied the time which cowbells and tin horns saw fit to allow. In the midst of the uproar the tiger rose up in the center of the field and a second later a terrific explosion sent him flying across the field in a thousand pieces. Then a blaze shot from the huge bonfire, whieh the Freshies had labored all afternoon to prepare, and amid much yelling, singing and speech making, old Oxy was hung from a gibbet at the highest point, and burned to worse than a cinder. The spirit of the jolly-up continued all day Friday and everybody took a big hunk of the same and arrived early on the field next afternoon. As one of the team expressed it, “Our crowd yelled louder, our girls were prettier, our band made more noise, and our team played better football. ’ ’ After the victory Captain Malcom vras again carried to the chariot, he received a crcwn of laurel from the co-eds, and headed the procession as they marched under the goals and tossed their caps over the bar—a stunt now become our custom after a victory. The final jolly-up for the Pomona game was held in chapel, and the same exhibition of spirit was evident again. The Hodge Hall stunt was a unique boxing match, in which each aspirant represented one of the conference schools, and in which Mr. S. C., as usual, came out without a scar. Prof. Skeele’s famous grave yard stunt was repeated, two of our Japanese students gave an interesting exhibition of their native fencing, a quartet furnished very appropriate football parodies to popular airs, 170 and for the modest sum of ten cents we were able to take the “Football Special.” The biggest jolly-up during track season came just before the dual meet with Pomona. The program was largely theat- rical in character, and consisted mainly of two stage perform- ances, one representing a clubroom in which a group of U. S. C. students receive the returns of the meet (devised and operated by “Davey”), and the other a farcical skit, written by “Young Henny”, in which Mr. S. C. overcomes his apparent lethargy, makes good by defeating Pomona, and succeeds in keeping Miss Track Championship for his bride. Captain Trotter led the team in a serpentine about the room, and enthusiasm ran high throughout. Just before the conference meet at Occidental, a stunt was pulled off which was as unique as it was bold. Just before the meet began, two U. S. C. men appeared on the side of the hill near Baer Park and deliberately began to give a shining coat of cardinal and gold paint to some Oxy class numerals which were there. Of course it did not take Oxy long to discover the culprits, who as they lingered to put on the last artistic touches, were overtaken by a horde of Oxy braves, who chased them as far as the Los Angeles River. They managed to capture one poor wretch, whom they drove back to the hill and rudely used as a mop. He was afterwards given a free admission to the meet, where his costume was a source of merriment to both sides. COLOR RUSH. Wherein the Pride of the Soph Receives an Early Fall. The super amount of pure and unadulterated arrogance with which tradition has ever filled the hollow heads of those gone-to-seed Freshmen who appear every fall labeled “Sophs” had this year but four days of uninterrupted existence. Such, however, was the affinity of this monster for the Class of 1914 that by Friday of the first week it seemed necessary to the Freshmen babies that they must either politely get off the earth, or make a vigorous attempt at the separation of arro- gance and the Sophomore. Accordingly on the afternoon of that day there appeared on Bovard field about seventy Fresh- men in war paint, bent upon bringing low the Sophomore colors which were flying from a lofty pole in the center of the field. Hardly had they touched the pole when some forty Sophs appeared; they greased the pole, and kept otherwise interfering in the process until finally the Freshmen were obliged to stop the contest and put them out of the game. They produced an endless supply of stout strings, began tying the Sophs by their hands and feet, and in half an hour the Glorious Class of 1913 was lying in helpless heaps along the sides of the field, battered and bruised, and compelled to watch the Freshmen snatch down their colors and proclaim themselves the winners of the Color Rush. , CHALLENGE Hear ye!

My friend Padlock Bones and I were sitting in his apart- ments in Daker Street, discussing among other things, the cultivation of the faculty of observation in the average human mind. Bones had made the assertion that his ability to perceive was not acquired, but was an inherent element, a part of his psychosis. “But,” I objected, “do you mean to say that if I had not been trained along those lines that I should not be as ob- servant as you?” “Exactly, my dear Botson,” replied Bones. “Even if you had been trained you could never hope to rival me in plain observation. You know, of course, Doctor, that there are three kinds of observation: observation of externalities, which is simple. A child can accomplish as much as an adult along that line if he is properly trained; secondly, observa- tion of interiors, psychology if you will; thirdly, and the most important of all, an observation of cause and effect, combin- ing instantly both the before named elements.” “But I cannot see,” I said, irritated at his unruffled seren- ity, “what there is in that which I may not acquire, the same as you.” “Nor I, either, Botson,” Bones said languidly, “but it seems to be so. For instance, what can you tell me of that little girl there across the street?” I gazed across the street and saw a little girl of eight or ten years, carrying a milk pail. She was walking rapidly, and carried the pail as if it were full. I laughed shortly. “Why, Bones, that is simple. Childishly so.” I said, still amused. “The little girl has been sent to tne grocery store for milk. Her mother is in a hurry, for she is walking rapidly.” Bones reached for his stomach pump and listlessly injected three and a half quarts of some liquid into his colorless arm. “Bones!” I cried, “if you knew how that irritated me, you would not do it. What is it this time? Bay Rum?” “No, Boston,” answered Bones, wearily. “Just a little Cya- nide of Potassium, that’s all. But to return to the little girl. She was not sent to the grocery and she hasn’t milk in that pail.” I gazed at him with my unbelief expressed on my face. “Pray, what is it, then?” I inquired, a little sarcastically, I’m afraid. Bones went on undisturbed. “Her mother didn’t send her, her father did. That pail contains beer.” I laughed hoarsely. Bones continued without seeming to notice my rudeness. “The nearest grocery store is only four doors in the op- posite direction from where the little girl went in, presum- ably to her home. Now why should the little girl go the other way to get milk when it is within a hundred feet?” “By Jove,” I muttered, “I hadn’t noticed that.” “The fact that she is carrying a milk pail doesn’t prove that there is milk in it. I have seen cheese in a cake box, and ink in a wine glass. The girl was coming from a public house which is situated at the next corner. She was walking rapidly, which shows that she was in a hurry. What could be simpler?” I sat aghast at the wonderful mental energy of the man. “Well, Bones,” I said with grudging admiration, “I will concede that case to you. Tell me now, what I have been doing.” He looked at me searcningly. Then he said. “This morning you attended to your practise. I know enough of your personal habits to tell you tnat. You lunched at the club—” I stopped him with a gesture. “How did you know that I lunched at the club?” I demanded. Bones said as though it were a matter of everyday concern, “This is Thursday. On Thursdays they serve ox-tail soup at the club. There are some remnants of ox-tail soup on your mustache. Simplicity, itself, Doctor.” 172 “But how do you know,’’ I said, unwilling to give up so easily, “that it was to-day? It might have been last Thurs-..: day.”.: • v- «7«v-r; ’ • “True, it might,” admitted Padlock, “but last Thursday you were in Manchester.” I was silenced, and I motioned for him to go on. “After lunching at the club, yo 1 went to the vaudeville to see Salome interpreted by some third rate actress, and you enjoyed it hugely. Am I right?” I nodded shamefacedly. “How did you know?” I asked. Bones pointed to my gloves. “They are worn out in the palms from clapping,” he said reproachfully. “Botson, I had expected better things of you. After leaving the vaudeville, you went—” “Never mind;” I interposed, “you have told me enough.” Bones laughed his mirthless laugh, rose from his chair and got his violin. He returned with it, and as he tuned it, he said, “I have a feeling, Botson, that there will be work for us . soon. There, is something in me that seems to warn me that we are to be called on,” and raising his bow; he played with- intense pathos the wonderful melody, “Put Your Arms Around Me, Honey.” ;?r This was a mood in him that I hid hot seen before. I bad seen many phases of this strange drug satiated personality, but never before had I seen'him when he expected to work, and still remained in; the vicinity. But, I, too had something of the same feeling, and at every noise from the street 1 Started, waiting for the call. Padlock Bones sat still and poured out his soul in melody. He played a strain from some weird air such as “What’s The Matter WSth Father?” and then without warning drifted into the full crashing tones of “Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly?” Suddenly, the bell rang. Bcnes laid down his violin as the maid entered with a card. Padlock handed it to me. I read it- and saw the name “Mr. James Pendleton.” 1 looked at Bones inquiringly, but he shrugged his shoulders. Mr. James Pendleton was a short, clerky looking man of perhaps fifty years, and his face bore unmistakable signs of strong agitation. He was dressed in a frock coat, grey trousers, and across his vest front he.Wro.re a large gold chain, from which dangled a four pound masoni’c emblem. “Mr. Padlock Bones?” he'inquired in 'U highr squeaky voice; “Won’t you sit down?” answered Bones. “My friend; Dr. Botson.” • . “How do you do?” said Mr. Pendleton, and taking a large handkerchief from his pocket, began to weep into it copiously. The sight unnerved me, and it annoyed Padlock, I could see. The more, because two of Mr. Pendleton’s tears rolled to the floor and dampened the carpet. “Come, come, Mr. Pendleton,” said Bones brusquely, “This won’t do. Tell us the difficulty, and perhaps we can help you out.” With great difficulty, Mr. Pendleton controlled himeslf, and after a farewell gulp, announced himself ready to impart the cause of his distress. “Oh, Mr. Bones, it’s a terrible thing, a horrible thing. Poor Sir John,” he said, and for a moment it looked as though his grief would master him again. ■ “Sir John—?” said Bones inquiringly. “Yes, sir,” said Mr. Pendleton. “Sir John Gravet. Oh, but it’s terrible. To think that last, night he would be-alive and well and noyr. tonight he’s dead, dead. Oh, it’s awful. It is the worst thing that could have happened to Sly John.” “Oh, yes,” said Bones, a trifle impatiently, “Quite so, yes, decidedly so. But tell me about it.. Is Sir John Gravet dead? Hpw did he die? Accident? Disease? Suicide? Murder?” At the last word, our visitor hunched down ip hi§; chair. .“.Murder,” he whispered, “Yes, that’s it. Murder! Sir John has been murdered! Listen. Last night I left. Sir John at the Windc-o CHb in Piccadilly, alive and well. Sir John ind been drinking heavily.” “One moment, interrupted Bones, “Was Sir John a hard drinker?” “No,” answered Mr. Pendleton. “It was one of the easiest things he did. But he went home drunk. This morning I got a message from Parks, his man, to come immediately to Sir John’s place in Soho Square. I did so, and when I got there Parks said that there was something wrong with Sir John. He hadn’t come down from his room, yete .Parks said that about three o’clock this morning, he had heard a furious banging from Sir John’s room. It awakened him, but he did not go to investigate, as such noises were not infrequent. I went, upstairs . and with ipy key (I have the freedom of the house) unlocked the door to the first of his rooms. He has three, all connected, on the second floor of this house. Oh, gentlemen, what a sight! I entered the first room, and there on the floor was a human hand, severed at the wrist, and near it a hatchet. Several feet away from the hand was a human foot, cut off at the ankle. Pools of blood surrounded these members, and, nearly fainting, I went into the next room. There was Sir John’s head in the center of a pool of blood lying in the middle of the room. By this time I was con- vinced that something had happened to Sir John, and without waiting to investigate further, I came here at once.” “And quite right, too,” said Bones, “and the police. Have you informed them?” “No,” said Pendleton, “I waited until I heard what you had to say.” “Mr. Pendleton, you are an ideal client,” said Bones, enthus- iastically. “Come, Botson, we will go to Soho Square.” We took a cab, and the journey from Baker Street to Soho was made in silence. When we arrived at Sir John’s house, we found the servants waiting for us in terror-stricken silence. Mr. Pendleton started up the stairs. Bones, however, stopped to talk with Parks, the valet. He found that Pendleton’s story was substantially correct. Parks had heard the noise, but had not investigated it. No, he had no key to Sir John’s rooms, so he sent for Mr. Pendleton at once. No, sir, nobody had been in the house. And that was all Parks knew. We passed upstairs and into Sir John’s rooms. It was just as Mr. Pendleton described. In all three rooms lay parts of Sir John’s dismembered body, and used as I am to the sight of blood, this took my stomach, but it disturbed Bones not a bit. He hurried around the room, examining, measuring, tak- ing notes, and at last called me to him. “Well, Doctor, what do you make of it?” he inquired in pos- itively cheerful tones. “Revenge,” I answered, “and a brutal disfiguration of the body after death.” “Well,” he returned sarcastically, “I hope it wasn’t before death lor Sir John’s sake. But seriously, Botson. it looks bad, doesn’t it?” “For Sir John, decidedly,” I replied, wittily. “Don’t be an ass, Doctor,” said Bones. I mean, what do you make out the motive to be?” “As I say,” 1 said, “it looks to me like revenge, but of course, I’m wrong.” “Naturally,” returned Bones, laconically. “If you weren’t, 1 17 wouldn’t have a chance to set you right. But no, Botson, it was robbery, not revenge.” “What is missing?” I asked, looking around the apartments. “Nothing here,” was the reply. “But look here,” and he pointed to a chain attached to Sir John’s belt, broken off about eight inches from the end. It was the sort of a chain that is usually attached to key rings, and the ring was gone. Bones explained: “Sir John’s keys were on the ring. There was some key that was greatly desired for a purpose that I do not know.” This was a damaging admission. For Bones not to have a glib explanation ready was astounding, knowing Bones as I did. “I shall, however, find out before the end of the story,” he continued. “Sir John was killed to make it look like murder.” “It was a success as far as that goes, at least,” I said, ‘ Sir John looks as though something had happened.” Bones turned sharply. “Botson, for heaven’s sake don’t be such a beastly ass. As I say, the motive was robbery, not revenge. The murder was done to throw us off the track. He must have wanted that key pretty badly. Parks”—to the foot- man—“do you happen to know what keys Sir John carried with him?” “Why, yes, sir,” responded the man. “There was his office key, the house key, room key, chart case key, plan case key, and several others that I don’t remember now, sir.” “That will do very nicely,” said Bones, rubbing his hands together. “Now, Parks, was Sir John interested in any inven- tions?” “Why, it wasn’t to be known, sir,” said Parks, “but if it’ll help any, I’ll tell. Sir John was a partner in a new gun which a friend of his invented, and they kept the plans in a case at Sir John’s office at the testing ground at Whitley Bay, sir.” Bones turned to me. “There you are, Doctor. Motive and to spare. We have blundered on an international affair, or I’m mistaken. Why, it’s as plain as day. Sir John invents a powerful gun, Germany, France or Russia hears of it, and sends an agent to steal it. The agent knew his business and killed poor old Sir John to throw us off the track. Clever, very,” and he bit into a tablet. “But have you any clews?” I asked breathlessly. “Not a clew,” he answered, “not a clew, and-----” he broke off riveted to his feet by something that seemed to hold him in a fixed position. I followed his gaze but could see nothing. He gripped my arm. “Botson, we have it,” he whispered in a tense voice. He dashed across the room, and before I could see what he had done, he had picked up something and put it in an envelope, and in spite of my requests, he firmly refused to allow me to see what he had discovered. All the time that we had been conducting our investigations, Mr. Pendleton had been paying the servants and dismissing them. He very wisely conjectured that Sir John would have no further use for them, and as there was no one else in the familv they were not needed. At the conclusion of our work, Mr. Pendleton called in the police, who immediately botched the whole thing, much to Bones’ satisfaction and my own. Three days after the murder, Bones and I were sitting in his apartments in Daker Street. I had not seen him since the day that Mr. Pendleton had come, and so I was anxious to know what he had done. Much to my surprise he said that he had done nothing as yet. “No, Botson,” he said, laying down his violin after an exe- cution of the Pilgrim’s Chorus, “I have done nothing except gain a lot of valuable information about eyebrows and eye- lashes,” and he took a manuscript from his pocket. “What in heaven’s name do you want to know about eye- lashes?” I asked angrily. “Bones, are you losing your grip?” “No, Boston,” he returned, a sarcastic smile playing at the corners of his erstwhile immobile mouth. “Information is always valuable. Listen to this: ‘Statistics show that the shape and contour of eyelashes differ according to climatic conditions. For instance, in Italy eyelashes are long and straight, in Switzerland, the inhabitants have short curled eye'ashes, while in Russia the tendency is toward a long curled eyelash with a blunt end.’ ” “All very nice,” I said approvingly, “but just where does this strike Sir John?” “All in good time, my dear Botson, all in good time,” and he returned to his violin. That was the last I heard of the occurrence for two years. Padlock himself never mentioned it, and I always disliked to hurt his feelings by referring to a failure, and I thought that the thing was forgotten. . . One day about two years after as he and I were walking down the Strand, I was struck by the appearance of a. huge black-bearded man, with long hair and bushy eyebrows.’ “Look at that Russian,” I said to Bones. “Looks? like a Hercules, doesn’t h ?” “Who?” said Bones. Oh, that one—why he——” he stopped. The man had gone on but Bones turned and followed him through the streets, without the man’s seeing us. We shad- owed him until we were sure that we had discovered his hotel and we even went in and spoke to the clerk, who recognized us at once. “I say, Smythe,” said Bones to him, “who is that Russian over there?” “That?” he said. “Oh, that’s Count Howlski. Connected with their court, I believe.” “Has he ever been here before?” asked Bones. “Can’t say, I’m sure,” responded the clerk, so we took our departure. We returned to Daker Street and prepared to come out again immediately. Bones handed me a big re- volver and took one himself, and we went back to the hotel to see Howlski. I sent my card up, and the page led us up to his rooms. As we entered, the Count was standing with my card in his hand. “Dr. Botson,” he said, in good English, “I am sorry, but I cannot place you.” “Don’t try, Count,” said Bones. “Botson doesn’t want to see you. I do.” “Ittdeed,” said the Count, “and you are——?” “Padlock Bones,” said that gentleman. The Count started violently, but recovered himself. “I cannot remember the name,” he said. “No?” said Bones. “You might have heard of me in con- nection with the Gravet Murder Case.” “Very possible,” assented the Count. “But your business?” “I have come to arrest you for the murder of Sir John Gravet, and for the theft of the plans of the Gravet Gun.” I stared in blank amazement. The Count seemed mildly amused. “Oy, yes, certainly,” he said, moving toward the door. Bones cried, “Don’t move! Quick, Boston, the darbies.” The Gount turned, dashed me aside; Bones grappled with him and held him until I covered him with my revolver. I snapped the handcuffs on his wrists and we led our captive to a cab and thence to the police station. We returned to Daker Street, and as we sat sipping a brandy and soda. “Now tell ine, Bones, how did you do it?” 1 .asked. He laughed his silent laugh. “Don’t you remember that day in Sir John’s room when you saw me pick up something, and I wouldn’t tell you what it was? Well, here it is,” and he fished out an envelope and shewed me four long, black, curly hairs. “Eyelashes,” said Bones. “I found them beside Sir John’s right leg. It was after that that I made a study of eyelashes, and finally classified these as belonging to a Russian and as coming from the right eye.” “But how did you connect that to Howlski?” I asked, mys- tified. “Simple, almost childishly so,” Bones said. “When you pointed out Howlski that day on the street, the fact that he was a Russian brought my mind to these eyelashes and I ex- amined his right eye. There were four lashes missing from his right eye. From then on you know. Am I an observer, Botson?” And he reached languidly for the cyanide. R. F. A. A BUGLE ON THE LAKE. Lazily our little boat floated on. the clear surface of the lake. It was early twilight, the dreamy part of a long June (lay. Out in the middle of the lake the last brightness was fading from the water. The dense woods on the shore behind us were in deep shadow. The lofty mountains away in the distance were gray and purple at the base and varied in lighter and darker shade, but bright with the sunlight on their sum- mits. The dull gold in the western sky was changing to a softer light and high above our heads floated drifts of thin clouds, pink with the sun’s last rays. Slowly all the soft bright- ness faded, the sky became dark, the stars came out one by one, glimmering faintly at first and then shinipg with a steady sparkle. The moon goddess rode across the sky in her silver chariot. The air was full of the soft radiance and balmy fresh ness of a starry summer night. Far from the distance came the clear notes of a bugle. Soft at first and tremulous, then stronger and fuller, the music seemed to float on the air from fairyland, falling upon our ears, half heeded as we sat dreaming in the moonlight. A spell came over our senses. The music peopled an unseen .world with knights and ladies of.. old U warriors cladJn clanking mail and, grand dames trailing shimmering robes—alf that our fancy could picture from the romances of youth. A high castle reared its gray turrets above the moonlit cliffs. The drawbridge rang, and a knight rode out on his prancing war horse, followed by his squire carrying the crusader’s banner. The scene changed, bringing the sound of clarions and the clash of swords in battle. The battle axe crashed through the helmets of the riders, the lances were splintered in the fierce onset of the warriors, the riderless horses ran snorting from the field. Then followed a wild and sad lament for the fallen, mingled with the bugle call of triumph. Again the scene was shifted. The strain of music softened, and a gentle knight sang to a plaintive lute under the window of his fair lady’s castle. Gently his song died away in a sad refrain. With it had died the music of the far-away bugle. Slowly the castle walls dissolved in mist on the moun- tains. The moon sank slowly to rest behind the hills. The witching spell had left the lake. M. J. E. B. THE GOLDEN PAST. Dear are the days that have now passed away, Sweet are the joys that are ours no more; Childhood’s fair morn with fits innocent play Has borrowed a charm in this, later day, A charm it had not in the days of yore. Roseate hues from the past ever, gleam: ' r Golden the shimmer of. memory’s field. :in. Bright rays from childhood’still peneil the stream Of life as it flows, and sometimes they seem The sweetest experiences living can yield. Not only the wpnderful hearthstone tales, Not only the rollicking o’er the hills, Or hiding in clover sweet in the dales, Brings joy to us now through the mist) that veils The past; but joy now comes from former ills; Sometimes perplexities vexed us, ’tis true; But the blessings they brought, ' indeed ! a vast : store. Call us back to the land of skies ever blue, Dreaming of things we expected to do. Fain would we follow’ the rainbow once more. . : J. L. B., ’ll. RECOLLECTIONS OF OXFORD. It is usual for honors men at the Scottish universities to go up to Oxford or Cambridge to specialize, and take advantage of the larger opportunities which are offered at the more richly endowed English institutions. The two men who gained with me the inter-university scholarship—known as the Spence Bur- sary—at the close of our Sophomore year, both went up to Oxford. James Mackintosh entered Lincoln College, where Wesley was Fellow and afterwards studied law. He is now Professor of Civil Law at Edinburgh University. John Mac- donald Mackay went up to Balliol, and after distinguishing himself in the History schools, was appointed Professor of Mod- ern History in University College, Liverpool. But I had an opportunity to go to Japan, and left for the Orient without ever having seen the gray towers of the city on the Isis. When busy at work in the Literature College of the Imperial Univer- sity of Japan, I had considerable correspondence with Dr. J. A. H. Murray, the veteran philologist whose magnificent Diction- ary is now approaching completion. Accordingly, when at length it was possible for me to take a vacation, it was pri- marily to meet him that I directed my steps towards Oxford. Not that I was indifferent to the great general attractions of the place; but a personal motive is often more impelling. One afternoon in the early nineties I found myself on the top of an Oxford bus, passing the Martyrs’ Monument on my way to the Banbury Road, where Dr. Murray lives. Those familiar with English history will remember how the two Reformers, old Latimer and his friend Ridley, were burnt here at Oxford, and how the dying Latimer exhorted his companion to “play the man;” and I recalled the incident as we passed by. Dr. Murray’s house is a quiet domestic place in the sub- urbs, where his family of a dozen have been reared in simple and kindly fashion. I found him a congenial Scot, white-headed and long-bearded, devoted to his work. At the back of the house in the garden stood a shed-like frame building, to which he led me. “This is the Scriptorium,” he remarked; and he showed me as we entered, row after row of shelves whereon were placed in alphabetical order the various quotation slips from all over the world which form the raw material out of which his dictionary is woven. Next day my wife and I went to dine with him, and met quite a number of Oxford celebrities who devote themselves to language and phonetics. I remember that one guest asked me which of the Oxford colleges had pleased me most; and when I mentioned Wadham, which is not usually selected, but which appeared to me to have a particular Oxford charm about it. he was highly delighted, for it happened to be bis own college. He was Mr. Mayhew, the philologist, whose Concise Dictionary of Middle English, written in combination with Dr. Walter Skeat, is the student’s constant friend. Next morning I accepted an invitation from Dr. Andrew Fairbairn to breakfast with him at Mansfield College, the recent foundation of the English Congregationalists; recent, that is, as things in Oxford go. The guest at my right hand was the well-known Marcus Dods, for long the pride of the Free Church College at Edinburgh, and the life-long friend and mentor of Henry Drummond. These English breakfasts are pleasant informal gatherings, where congenial spirits may have an hour’s chat before the labors of the day begin. One of the faculty of the university to whom I was intro- duced was Dr. Legge, Professor of Chinese, who has done so much in the translation of the Chinese classics. He asked me to go with him to visit a sick friend, an American, who had met with an accident. The friend proved to be Professor George Edwin MacLean, now President of Iowa State Univer- sity, at that time Professor of English in the University of Minnesota. While coasting down the hill from Woodstock on his bicycle, he had a fall which broke his thigh-bone. The recovery was somewhat tedious, and the experience lessened the pleasure of his stay at Oxford. In 1895 he was transferred to the Presidency of Nebraska University, and four years later took up his present duties. Dr. MacLean’s specialty is Middle English philology, the same field in which Mr. Mayhew is a master. ' On Sunday we went to morning service at the Cathedral, which is the chapel of Christ Church, the richest and largest of all the colleges. It may be remembered as the home of the two Wesleys when they were undergraduates; of John Ruskin, of William Ewart Gladstone, and of Lord Salisbury. There are two great quadrangles, one in Tudor style dating from Wolsey’s time, the other in stiff Italian architecture of a more recent period. Christ Church was Wolsey’s particular care, and the stately dining-hall is among the choicest remains of Tudor archi tecture. The Cathedral is approached from the large quadrangle, and is less an object in the landscape than the noble King’s College Chapel, of Cambridge, and yet one is a Cathedral and the other is but the chapel of one of the lesser colleges. Oxford Cathedral is an attractive house of worship, but of brown stone, in simple but stately English Gothic. The preacher of the day was the learned Bishop Stubbs, whose three volumes devoted to English Constitutional History are familiar to students. His sermon was of a quiet expository nature. Of course we saw the Bodleian Library; the chapel at Exeter with its Pre-Raphaelite art treasures; the quaint chapel of Lincoln; the noble tower of Magdalen, reproduced in this country in the quadrangle of Chicago University; Oriel, and Queen’s, and Worcester. I walked across the bridge westward towards Cumnor Hall, where Amy Robsart met her death; and followed the tracks of the Scholar Gypsy. But these details of my visit were long to tell. The arrival at our University after New Year’s Day of nine volumes of the great Oxford Dictionary has suggested the writing of this little sketch. When another volume comes out it will be complete—a, lasting memorial of the learning and industry of the chief editor and his associates. Before King Edward died, he conferred on the veteran scholar the dignity of knighthood, and lie is now Sir James Murray. May he long survive to wear his honors! J. M. D. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. Did Nature’s fingers ever trace, Or arms extended e’er embrace A fairer scene than that which lies, ’Mid orange bloom, ’neath sunny skies, Between Pacific’s briny deep And grand Sierra’s mountain steep? Oh U. S. C., within this bower, Lift up thy head! above it tower! Oh U. S. C., within this bower, We laud thee as the Fairest Flower. Upon thy campus, fair and green, Where ardent youth and sage are seen, On track and field, where strong and fleet As friends and foemen often meet, And life her deep foundation lays, For struggle in the coming days— Oh U. S. C., make brave and strong In brain and muscle ’gainst the wrong—- Oh U. S. C., make brave and strong Young hearts and lives a mighty throng. Within thy chaste and classic halls, Surrounded by the dear old walls Where pure associations twine And lofty aspirations climb, United, as the sun-rays blend, And make for life a noble end, Oh U. S.

A tall, beautiful woman, with golden hair and blue eyes, walked slowly down the path which ran close to the dusty road. Her face showed signs of suffering. She stopped for a moment and looked about her, hunting for the beauty in the scene. Orchards with their long, even rows of trees and freshly ploughed ground stretched on both sides of the road. The thought passed through her mind that it would not be long now until all the trees would be in bloom; and with the blos- soms would come the roses and the wild flowers. She would gather some of all kinds to cover the little mound in the ceme- tery. How he had loved the flowers and looked forward to the spring and summer! Her eyes filled with tears as she thought how few springs and summers he had lived. She remembered that he had always found something beautiful in the cold win- ter, too. This was the first spring since the little boy had died. She found it hard to see anything beautiful in the world since he had gone, but Mother Wilkins, whom she had just been visit- ing, said that she must find something beautiful in the world each day. She walked on, but had not gone far down the path when she saw a dirty little boy in the middle of the road. His hands, were thrust deep in his pockets and he was kicking up the dust with shoes that were worn through at the toes. “Little boy,” called the woman, “where are you going?” He looked up, snatched off his dirty cap, and stared. She saw that his golden curls and big blue eyes were like those of that other boy. He stared so long that she looked down to see if there wras anything wrong with her dress. When her eyes met his again, she smiled. “Please, ma’am, I’m going to heaven,” he answered, “do you know the way?” A sob caught in her throat; how of ter she had wished that she did know the way! She sat down on the stump of an old tree and held her arms out to him: “Come here, little boy.” He hesitated, then walked slowly into her arms. She drew him close to her and two big tears rolled down her face. “No, 1 don’t know the way. Why do you want to go to heaven ?’’ “Because my mania’s gone there,” lie replied, simply. He looked at her a moment, then asked, “What makes you cry?” “I wish I knew the way to heaven,” she answered, “I should like to' go. ’ ’ “Is your mama there, too?” “No, but I had a little boy, just as big as you, who wrent there. ’ ’ Don’t you suppose we might find it together? I’m such a little fellow that I get scared sometimes, but I’m sure we could find it. Won’t you try?” His big blue eyes seemed to be pleading for her to go and there was just a hint of trembling lips. She drew him on her lap. “Before we try to find heaven,” she said, “you must tell me—” “Oh, will you go?” he cried, smiling up at her. “Yes. But you must tell me first where you came from.” The smile left his face and he hesitated; then, remember- ing her promise, he asked, “You are quite sure you will go with me?” It was her turn to smile. “Yes.” “I came from ’way over the hill, and I’m not going back, ’ ’ he added quickly. “Why?” 111 don’t like it there without mama. ’ ’ “But your papa, where is lie?” “Papa?” He looked at her blankly. “Oh, you mean men like grandpa ? ’ ’ “Yes.” “I don’t know. I never had a papa. I asked mama about him one day, and she said he had gone on a long, long journey.” “Did you live with your grandpa and grandma?” ‘ ‘ Yes, mama and I have always lived there. ’ ’ “Don’t you think you ought to go back? They’ll worry about you. ’ ’ “No, they won’t,” lie answered stoutly; “they said one day they wished I’d get out of their way, and that I made too much noise.” Her arm tightened its hold on the boy and she thought how glad she should be to hear her little boy make a noise again. For several minutes she sat very still, looking over the top of his head. He waited as long as he could for her to speak, then ventured very timidly: “Do you suppose we could start now?” “You are quite sure they don’t want you?” she said. “Very, very sure,” he replied slowly. “Then I think we can start.” “Goody,” he exclaimed, jumping down from her lap and taking her hand. She started back they way he had come. lid stopped. “Please, it isn’t back there; I came that way.” She smiled. “You didn’t leave the road, did you?” “NO.”- “Well, let’s try it this wav.” “All right.” Hand in hand they walked dowrn the path until they came to a smaller one leading through the orchard. She turned down this and the boy followed without a word. In a few minutes lie saw through the trees a white house surrounded by green lawns. “Oil! is that heaven?” he asked. “I am going to let you decide that,” she answered, “wo are going to stay there all night.” She went into the house through a side entrance and took the boy upstairs. His eyes were big with wonder as he passed from room to room. 179 “What are we going to do?” ‘ ‘ Firsts we are going to have a bath, then some supper, then to bed.'V She gave.him a bath and brushed his hair. Then, going to a sateen-covered box, she opened it and took out a little night- dress, a robe and a pair of slippers; they had belonged to that other little boy.-. :;Putting them on him, she carried him down- stairs to the dining' TPObni and gave him a bowl of bread and milk. Wheii he igrew sleepy she took him back upstairs and rocked him. -dust before he fell asleep he said drowsily: “Good night, beautiful lady, and I think this is heaven.” She put him on her own bed until she had set up the little bed which had been taken down from its place next to hers. She tucked him in, pushed a curl back from his eyes, and kissed him good night. A few minutes later she met her husband at the door and followed him upstairs when he went to their room. He did not notice that the little bed had been set up again until he turned to leave the room. He crossed over to the bed quickly. “Helen,” he called, as he caught sight of the golden curls and the boy’s face. He grasped the brass rods of the bed and looked first at his wife, then at the sleeping child. “Where did he come from? Tell me about it.” “Come,” and she led him to the porch, where she told him the story as the little boy told it to her, ending with: “Oh, if they really don’t want him, can’t we keep him?” “Yes, I’ll try to find where he lives tomorrow, and if they don’t want him, we will keep him always.” The next day she explored their large grounds with the little boy, just as she had done with that other boy. She took him to the big woods, where they watched the birds and fed the squirrels and chipmunks. In the pasture she held him while he rode the horses. All day the beautiful lady and the little boy played like two children. In the afternoon, seated beneath a big oak, she told him of her little boy, and he told her of his mother. “I can’t let you go, not after this day,” she said, giving him a hug and holding him close- He looked up at her. “Can’t I stay with you?” “Yes, yes, I hope so,” she replied. “I don’t ever want to leave you, Beautiful Lady.” They talked until late afternoon, when John, the man of all work, said he was going to get the eggs and feed the horses and chickens. “You may go with him if you want to, and when you are through come to me. I’ll be in the house, Little Boy.” “All right, Beautiful Lady.” That evening she put on a simple white dress and she and the boy met her husband at the door; the boy with a little laugh of greeting, and the woman with a smile on her lips, but a question in her eyes. As the man greeted his wife, he whis- pered: “We will keep the boy. His grandparents say they can’t afford to keep and educate him.” With a joyful cry she picked the little fellow up and the three went in to dinner. When they had finished their meal, they went into the library and sat down in front of the fire, the boy on the man’s lap. “Little Boy, would you like to stay here with us always?” “With you, Big Man, and the Beautiful Lady?” “Yes.” “And never go back home any more?” “Not unless you want to.” The boy thought for a few moments, and then asked, very soberly: “Are you quite sure I’ll not make too much noise?” “Oh, Boy,” exclaimed the Beautiful Lady. “We are very, very sure that we should like to have you make a noise,” said the man, smiling. “The house has been quiet too long.” “And sometimes when I’m real good, can I ride the horses again ? ’ ’ “Yes,” replied the Beautiful Lady. “When you are a big boy you can have a horse of your own,” said the Big Man. “A real, live one?” “Yes, a real, live one.” ‘ Oh, goody! ” he cried, clapping his hands and laughing. “I wonder,” said the Beautiful Lady, “if the Big Man wouldn’t bring a dog home to you, if you asked him?” The boy looked at her doubtfully. “Do you suppose you could find a little, stray puppy some place?” he said, turning to the Big Man. “Sure T can, and I’ll bring him home to you tomorrow night. ” 180 “ Oh, Big Man, ’ ’ he exclaimed, throwing his arms around his neck and hugging him tight. They talked until the boy grew sleepy. Some minutes later, as they tucked him in bed, he looked up and said, slowly: “I’m awfully glad I went hunting for heaven.” ALICE YERINGTON, ’13. UNDER THE WESTERN SKIES. It was early dawn. Yet, on the Rancho Loma, Manuel was already astir, and he stood motionless, waiting for the first appearance of the sun, for he loved the early hours. And next to the dawn he loved la madre, dear, patient mother, and Car- melita, the mischief, and Manuel smiled. Overhead the arched sky shaded from a blue of deepest azure to a sober yellow as it neared the mountains. But the light deepened, pink tinged the clouds, the yellow changed to red, and the dazzling rays of the sun appeared, like messengers, making the way bright. Soon the great ball of molten gold rose behind the stately pines of old Graybaek. The snow upon the peaks flamed with light, rosy as a blushing maid. And then the little sunbeams chased away the shadows in the crev- ices and rocks of the canyons, lightened the somber shade under the live oaks, and edged the leaves of the pepper trees. They crept into the hearts of the half-opened poppies, and kissed the yellow, brown-backed violets. The sparkling dew on slender grass-blades flashed a thousand tints, and the air was as cool as fresh-plucked ferns. Manuel turned at the sound of a baby voice, and he tossed to his shoulder Carmelita—Carmelita with roguish eyes and tumbled curls. There was work to be done before the sun scorched the grass and daintily colored flowers, soft as a baby’s cheek; he must help the mother, so he turned regretfully from the out-of-doors. The sun steadily climbed higher and higher, and the morn- ing wore away. The delicate petals of the wide-open baby- blue-eyes were withered with the heat, for it was hot—hot as a furnace blast. Even the breeze browned the tender green plants. Manuel appeared again. It was too hot to work; and he 181 threw himself carelessly upon the dusty grass beneath a large olive tree with its silvery-gray leaves, as shimmering as the silk gown of the American Senora who had passed the day before. Ah, if only the mother might have such a gown! And Manuel’s great dreamy, brown eyes lit up with the thought. The merciless sun beat down about him, and he turned longing looks toward the glittering white mountain side, drifted with snow, and toward the deep, shady canons, cool as the water in the old olla. Below, the mesquite and cactus flour- ished, entirely oblivious of the sun’s heat. Then stretched a glorious poppy field, golden as the sun itself. About the hacienda were graceful pepper trees, dashed with scarlet ber- ries, and to one side a couple of stately palms; and upon the outskirts were the tall eucalyptus, from whose trunks the bark peeled in slender, curling strips, covering the ground in tangled confusion. It was not even cool there, Manuel thought, for the sunbeams slipped between the long, curved leaves. Manuel listened to the lazy buzz of the bees, the monotonous hum of insects and the occasional call of the mocking bird. A little horned toad hurried to the hot sand and lay motionless. Manuel’s eyes slowly closed; he was asleep. A lizard stretched out on a stone near by. All things were having a siesta. Thus the afternoon passed. But it did not seem long before the sun began to set and the clouds to pile up in the west. The birds began to chirp and the hot flowers raised their heads. The lizard slid away, for the air grew chilly. The clouds became scarlet, purple and orange. The sun dropped behind the distant pueblo. The shadows lengthened, and the pink glow of a departed sun was cast on the giant snowy peaks. Soon the clouds lost their brilliancy, and the good-night call of the birds was begun. The day was finished. It was night. And still Manuel slept—lazy Manuel. R. M. P., ’12. the The unexpected has happened and El Rodeo ’12 is published at last. I will not inflict upon a long suf- fering student body a recital of my trials nor will I register any complaint against the criticism I have been forced to undergo. Much of it has been de- served and that I will willingly bear. That which was unjust will hurt no one but those who indulged in it. Perhaps the only thing I can really be thank- ful for in my connection with this volume is, that through the vicissitudes encountered in publishing it, I have been able to determine which of my acquaint- ances at U. S. C. have proven their friendship for me. That alone is worth the effort expended. To the Class of ’12 and to the student body as a whole I make all necessary apologies for the delays and failures which have kept them guessing as to the final outcome of my rather disastrous venture. I thank them all for their interest and assistance and forgive them all for the annoyances they may have caused me. I wish to thank personally Prof. Owen and the other members of the Faculty Committee whose as- sistance has been invaluable to me in untangling affairs since the opening-of the present school year. To Mr. Palmer and his stajf of assistants I owe my sincerest thanks and my humblest apology. I thank them for their assistance in gathering the material for El Rodeo and apologize for my failure to enhance 192 r Has to Say the value of their efforts by publishing it on schedule time. In making up the book it was necessary to omit some things and I hope no one will be offended if their choicest contribution does not appear. A few words of appreciation are due Mr. Ickes for his painstaking work in illustrating the book and to Mr. McQuigg for his tireless efforts in securing ad- vertising. The engraving work was done by the Riley-Moore Co. and its quality speaks for itself. No words of mine can convey to them my appreciation of their generosity and good will. Out at Whittier there is a printshop presided over by one Will A. Smith. He has coming to him the highest praise I can offer. He was patient under de- lays, cheerful when I annoyed him, helpful when I struck a snag and thought more of making El Rodeo a creditable book than of what there was in it for him. The one word ‘ ‘Smile,'’ which is the motto of his shop, expresses his attitude in all of my dealings with him and he deserves more credit and thanks than I can accord through any words at my command. If I have left any one out I thank them now and I know that every one who has entertained a thought of El Rodeo during the long months past will join me in a hearty sigh of relief and gratitude that the wor- ries and troubles of the book are at an end and El Rodeo ’12 is—out LUTHER HUSTON THE JESTELOGUE AND THE ADVERTISER In the following pages of this volume we have combined the seemingly incongruous material of the jokes and the advertising. Our excuse for doing this is to give the advertisers the bess advantage possible. We feel sure that you will read the jokes and in doing so we hope that your eye will wander to the pages wherein the loyal merchants of Los Angeles have set forth the bargains they have at your disposal. We are combining the lighter side with the more serious in the hope that being interested in the one you will become so in the other. School advertising, for the merchant, is a precarious investment at the best and it lies with you to make it worth their while at all. Unless you read these advertisements and accord your patronage to those who support us the merchant is not getting a square deal at the hands of the U. S. C. students. Every advertiser in this volume is a re- putable Los Angeles business man and deals in com- modities which every student uses. In all fairness your patronage should go to these men. You can show your school spirit in no more substantial way than by letting these advertisers know that you ap- preciate the spirit they have shown in according their support to our publications. We have faith enough in the loyalty of our student body to believe that they will reward the men who have made possible the ultimate publication of this book—the Los Angeles business men. 183 OUR «IRC SHOW The World’s Greatest Collection of Human Oddities and Nature's Miscalculations.

He derives the strange appellation from the fact that he is composed of nothing more or less than grease; and how he retains anthropoid shape is a question that cannot be answered even in this day and age of advanced knowledge. He is handled with exceeding care, as the slightest jar might break the thin exterior film and spill the oily contents, thus depriving the world of one of its queerest curiosities. And here, shackled by those massive chains of hardest iron, stamping back and forth in wild rage against his capture and confinement, is Hatch, the wild man of Borneo. This curiosity was captured in the dark streets of the Bowery, after a desperate struggle, killing fourteen men and six seniors. Even yet he must be submerged in the pond at times to subdue his wrath. Don’t fail to wait and watch him devour a helpless Freshie after rending him into shreds with his mighty hands.

Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 12, 1910. Mr. James H. Hopkins, Escondido, Cal. Dear Governor:— I arrived a couple of days ago and in the meantime have been looking over the buildings and grounds. Looks like they have built here with the idea of changing their occupation on short notice. The majority of the buildings could be changed into airy barns with little or no- remodeling. They have a corral in the rear with a drinking trough in it. The corral is badly grown over with 'weeds now. I haven't fully decided yet what course to take up. Of course a fellow of my. ability and advantages. can make a ; success at anything he undertakes! I don't know whether to take up Electrical Engineering and take charge of the city power distribution when I graduate or to take up Liberal Arts and be president of the institution. E. E. looks the best to me, though; you know I always was good at anything involving math., and the E. E. prof, looks as though he would let a fellow through without much studying.

Dear Governor:— After looking things over and talking with some of the student , I have decided that E. E. is the course for me. One of my new Soph friends has given me a tip.

I try to spend most of my time in the main office talking to the secretary. She is an awfully sweet little lady and a fellow can't help but love her. Classes begin tomorrow and I will find out more about their pedants then. Yours, JAMES H. HOPKINS, JR.

Dear Father:— Since classes began I have been a little busier than I had anticipated. The head prof, in E. E. is a cute little chap. His name is. Nye, cousin to Bill Nye, the humorist, I hear. He is anticipating a mustache on which he uses cold cream as a lubricant. — Things are a little harder than I thought they would be. Of course I have been out for three months, and the methods of teaching are different here than in our high school. I wish I had not taken so much math. The prof, has almost the same line of talk in every class, principally telling what the average prof, would do. I don’t seem to be as proficient as I was in our high school. Of course when I get the swing of things here I will surpass the rest of the students. I have been trying to get an introduction to the girl In the treasurer’s office, but she is rather bashful and keeps Hidden. Your affectionate JAMES H. HOPKINS, JR. Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 12, 1910. My Dear Father:— Since my last letter I have changed my course and am now taking Liberal Arts. The math. prof, was rather personal in his remarks, and he even intimated that our high school was not up to the standard. I found that I did not care much for engineering anyway. I think that the frats are still rushing me, but none of them have asked me to join yet. I have a Greek class now just above the college of music and it makes me homesick. I think of the times when I would tie cats’ tails together and listen to their yelpsN and also of the braying of my. donkey “Jack. ” The prof, does not seem to enjoy it much though. Love to mother and sister Ruth. Affectionately, . JAMES. Los Angeles,-Cal., Nov. 1, 1911. Dear Papa:— The faculty here don’t seem to understand my disposition or to appreciate my. abilities.

A Freshman assigned by Prof. Shepard to prepare an Eng- lish theme, wrote: “The duck is a low, heavy-set animal, composed mostly of meat and feathers. He is a mighty poor singer, having a sore throat, caused by getting so many frogs in his neck. “He likes water and carries a toy balloon in his stomach to keep from sinking. The duck has only two legs and they are set so far back on his running gear that they come pretty near missing the body. Some ducks when they get big have curls on their tails and are called drakes. “Drakes don’t have to set or hatch, but just loaf, go swim- ming and eat. If I was to. be a duck I would rather be a drake. ” Dr. Malcom, to Fair Damsel, perched on table: “What does it mean when one sits on a table?” Fair Damsel: “That one wants to get married.” I)r.

Paderewski was introduced to a well-known polo player, and the person who introduced him remarked as he did so: “You are both leaders of your professions, though they are, of course, very different.” Oh, not so very different”, replied Paderewski, smiling. “My new friend here is a dear soul who plays polo, and I am a dear Pole who plays solo.” A friend invited G. B. Shaw, the play writer, to hear a string quartet from Italy. Mr. Shaw accepted, but sat with a bored expression throughout the program. The friend, to draw a little praise from him, said: “Mr. Shaw, those men have played together for twelve years.” “Twelve years,” said the other in an incredulous voice, “surely we’ve been here longer than that.” At the opening of college one of the girls—a Freshman— but confident of her ability—-came to take her first lesson.

A Recent Discovery. What is probably the most recent discovery to be sprung on the public is the presence of radiqm in rainbows. Messrs. Kalliwodi and Browning, who; have been doing research work for the past twenty years, report the following method whereby radium can be produced at a very nomina! cost: The rainbows are put in large vats surrounded by Pink- ham’s Compound. This step condenses the bows to a liquid state, which is run into smaller vats and is treated with Peruna, Radium Perunate being formed. Radium Perunate is treated with Kilmer’s Swamp Root, leaving pure radium. These eminent chemists state that they studied the rain- bows through the one-sixth obj. lens of a Bromo Seltzer Bottle until they were satisfied that the element existed there. The rainbows come from Alhambra and Sawtelle. Mr. Bolken has charge of the gathering at Alhambra, wdiile Mr. Jewett holds the same position at Sawtelle. Physiological Chemist Shelling has inoculated the Junior Class and obtained the following medicinal uses: It is bene- ficial in the treatment of corns, bunions and ingrown toenails, enlarges the brain and produces great imagination. It also makes a good poultry food. Telegram found in Pharmacy Building; evidently lost by Pharmacy student. Los Angeles, 1, 15, ’ll. H. Kalliwodi, 1069 Temple St. Motorcycle complete.

Tn September, 1910, by some psychologic influence or pos- itive chemotaxis, forty-five masses of protoplasm collected at the College of Physicians and Surgeons for the purpose of joining forces and making what is commonly known as a Freshman Class. These masses of protoplasm were very similar in composi- tion, but each had marks of difference on the external surface by wdiich they could be easily identified. They mingled together for a few days without any uniting of protoplasm until a loose network of connective tissue united each mass. This was known as the class organization. No well-behaved organs live together without a physiolog- ical division of labor, so one protoplasmic mass was chosen to do the work of the central nervous system. The mark of iden- tification being a number of spinous processes on the skin over the symphysis of the lower jaw—Dr. McGilvra, Pres. Another took the place of a ganglionic center to act in the place of the central nervous system in case that member was injured, the mark of identification being—dresses—Kate Close, Vice-Pres. Another was the musculature doing manual labor in protection against the enemy—Geo. Smith, Sergeant-at-Arms. Still another for the digestive system; one who would take things down, digest them, and store them up for future use; charac- terized by extreme length—Coleman, Secretary. A dense fibro-elastic cartilage developed between eight- members of this organism, uniting them firmly into the O. C. Z. Fraternity. At the same time a similar structure developed between five more uniting them into the O. X. Fra- ternity. By treating with a few stookey exes the general appear- ance of the Freshman was changed. Some members vanished completely, some faded into insignificance, some rose into prominence. The “High” Ideals of the Central Nervous System caused it to become severed from the organism; also there was a forced separation of the digestive system. Cellular differentia- tion was great, so new parts could not be regenerated, but must be substituted. This was difficult for through the functionating of the O. C. Z. and O. X. substances had been formed which had a negative chemotactic effect. A substitution wras finally effected and the Central Nervous System was characterized by ‘ being married”—Mr. Rose; and the digestive system by being solemn—Mr. Brown. This organ is still functionating normally, boning Anatomy, cutting Materia Medica, diagnosing slides, etc., and probably will do similar work for three years and a half, when there will be a disintegration and each mass of protoplasm will exist alone, each with the title of Doctor of Medicine.

One Wirsching arose in council and spake: 3. “Lo! It has been revealed to me in a vision that we should rise up against these our oppressors. 4. And I will lead the tribe in battle and peradventure we shall talc a fall out of the Pedagogues.7’ 5. For such was the name of the ruling tribe in SCalifornia. 6. Now the Scribes hearkened unto the mutterings among the people 7. And were sore afraid. 8. Ilowbeit, they enticed one of the slaves, Pistil Clark by name, and said, 9. And thou leavest thy people, and become one of us and we will make thee Euler over the Freshmen. 10. Yea, a goodly job shall be thy portion. 11. So Pistil left the tribe of the Seniors and became a scribe. 12. Then said the Scribes one to another, 13. Verily, we are able to come back and it shall go well with us, 14. For we shall smite these our slaves both hip and thigh. 15. But the Seniors bided their time, and waxed strong, and thought well of themselves, 16. For they were Seniors. Selah! 17. Now the mode of battle was this: Nine men did array themselves upon the battlefield, heaving about a young can- non ball, 18. Then come the enemy, and smitetli the ball so that it seeketh new pastures. 19. Perchance it be a hit or perchance he who smiteth it be called “out,” 20. For the Lord High Mogul of the Diamond is ever watch- ful and on the job. 21. Being a strong man and none durst dispute his word. Selah! 22. When it was the third day of the sixth moon, Crom- well spoke, saying, 23. “Lo! the enemy cometli! Now gird up your loins with a stout manila rope and haste ye to your positions. Let Tully heave the slants and I will receive them.” 24. So they gat themselves hence and put on their armor. 25. And the women of both tribes did urge on the War- riors, , 26. Screaming like an Calliope. Selah! 27. He, called Gates was first up and there was blood in his eye, 210 WOOD BROS.

THETA PSI SIGMA CHI FOOT BAWL. The final game in football circles of Southern California for 1910 was played on Bovard field December 5. The contest- ing teams were those of Theta Psi and Sigma Chi. These time- honored rivals had been in rigid training for some time and each had a repertoire of between one and two trick plays that were guaranteed to produce large gains for the other side. The game was hotly contested from the first whistle and was spectacular in the extreme. The weight of the ‘‘Sig’’ back field was one of their strongest points, but this was offset by the way in which their light ends were thrown off by the 11 Theta ’ ’ interference. The speedy Allen, captain and quar- ter of the “Thetes”, won his position on the All-Southern by the masterful style in which he drove his team against the stubborn defense of the “SigM; and time after time brought the bleachers to their feet by his light turning dashes of fifteen and twenty inches. Smith of the ‘1 Sigs’ ’ also showed class as a quarter, but his costume was not up to the standard set by the A. A. U., so Allen was placed over him. The “Sigs ” tandem play was quite a success, losing but thirty-five yards. The “Thetes’ ” counter-play was a spread-eagle formation, with Cohn, their mammoth center, carrying the ball for a much-needed touchdown. Much to be regretted, the final score was a tie, 10-10. This could not be played off, as in a dispute Paulin tore his suit and the game was called off. In spite of the intense rivalry between the teams, both concealed their ill feeling to q remarkable extent and even partook of tea and peppermint sticks together between halves. The game was well attended, being a free exhibition. The northeast section of the bleachers was occupied by Pete .Rich- ardson and seven of his lady friends. The line-up: Theta Psi. Sigma Chi.

The rising young Blackstone is best recognized by a single glance at the rear of the cervical vertebrae, where will be noticed a series of alternate horizontal ridges and depressions resembling the business side of a wash-board. A front view of this species greatly resembles an open door, owing to a pronounced, tendency to orate vigorously and voluminously upon every possible occa- sion. Immediately above the optic orbs the frontal bone recedes very rapidly to meet the occipital plate, thus giving rise to the terms “low brow” and “flat head.” THE PHARMACIST. The dope dispenser is easily known by the tuft of hirsute adornment placed just anterior to either ear. The origin of this is rather obscure, probably being a graphic illustration of the effectiveness of E. Pinaud’s Quinine Tonic upon solid bone. He wears loud, acid-stained clothes and an anxious look. Eagerly he awaits the day when he can glibly rattle off the line of “chocTate, vaniller, strawberry, root beer, lemon, pine apple and sars ’priller” while rolling his next cigarette. The upper stories of deceased pill-rollers are in great demand by the American Billiard Ball Co. THE THEOLOGUE. Perhaps the oddest specimen in the fossil department of the University is the future Bishop. His face is narrow and there radiates from his countenance an aesthetic influence tended to moderate the barbarisms of mankind. Although a familiar figure about the campus, he is a rarity in the immediate vicinity of a barber shop, and hence is usually known as a “long hair.” If given an opening he discourses freely upon the degeneracy of the human race due to the intoxication caused by using bay rum after shaving. 216 Have You a Kodak We make no extra charge for developing.

We employ more people and occupy more floor space, and any dealer who will tell you that his goods, that he must buy from someone else, are better than ours, is not telling you the truth. We are manufacturers and he must buy from some manu- facturer and pay about the same price that we sell the goods to you for. Send for our catalogue. FRANK S.

As far as the eye can see his figure is easily distinguished by the width of the coverings of his nether limbs. It is said that it takes two suit-lengths to make a pair of trousers for a prep. From his attitude one would think that the college existed only by his 1 gracious permission, and that the college men were in a state of constant anxiety lest they offend his high mightiness. Of this species there is a female contingent, more important, if it be possible, than the male. These throng the corridors, garbed as if attending a fashion show and chatter gaily of this week Orpheum. Some of these will be seen carrying books as if bent upon study, but in the real aristocracy of the prep department this is frowned upon as being out-of-date. m HE.THINK5 I OOCrHT TO U5E A VJTTkt dynamite. T1 218 LIBERAL ARTS. Rarely is there observed greater devotion to study than that displayed by the rah! rah! colleger in his major course. Garbed in the raiment of the modern Beau Brummel, he may be seen dur- ing any of his study hours lodged upon the ledge of one of the basement windows, attempting eagerly to advance his standing in the popular class of campustry. Although the faculty frown upon this subject, its enrollment is almost equal to that of the whole college. In the effort to attain perfection in the gentle art of fussing, our hero slights even athletics, to say nothing of academic pursuits. Queening flourishes at its greatest height during the first ten days of each month. At that time the favorite recitation room is Jake’s. Thereafter occurs a gradual decline, until by the last of the month strolls on the campus are in order. Professors are changed at least once in every six weeks—oftener if possible. MEDICAL. Arrayed in a goodly knowledge of Latin names for sore throat, and further distinguished by eyeglasses of incredible thick- ness, the future sawbones struts pompously about as if all the ills of the government were resting upon his narrow shoulders. Indeed, he becomes so imbued with his own importance that he has been known to take his own prescription for snake bite. Upon the left index finger will be found a yellow' stain, of a shade in direct ratio with his age, indicating, according to our old friend Sherlock, a leaning towrard the deadly pill. His being is necessary, for with- out him there would be no need for undertakers. H. L.

Sixth St. Los Angeles, Cal. 219 THE HARMONIST. This interesting oddity comes in two styles—tinklers and war- blers. Those who—pardon the phrase—bang the box are to be seen carrying rolls of leather containing “The Grizzly Bear and other works by old masters. When given a chance they speak lov- ingly and long-windedly on Beethoven, Chopin, Lizst, and a lot more that I can't remember. It makes me short of breath, any- way. The singists are of various sizes, with lungs of brass and throats of alleged silver. Most of them have been swindled as to that silver business—it sounds like tin. Voices are named according to their range—Appalachian or Rocky—usually the latter. There are seven distinct shades of voice, and also tenor. Tenor isn't a voice—it's a disease. ORATORY. The budding Pat Henry is born at an early age, and when his genius is recognized by his fond and loving parents through his rigid development of his lungs, the f. and 1. parents plan to send him to the third floor of the U. S. C. Liberal Arts Buiding—or the U. S. C. Music Building, depending on which door is used—to get his tongue silver plated. This process requires much practice, and is very tedious, at times almost resembling work. However, after three years the infant prodigy issues forth, and full of his own knowledge, reads with appropriate gestures that famous lyric of Henry Wadsworth Shortfellow, “Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight. He is usually a she. THE DENT. It is always a simple matter to discover the dentist—he dresses like a barber, but lacks his conversational abilities. In fact, about all he does say, with the exception of spasmodic dis- paraging remarks concerning others of his profession, are the curses established by ancient custom, being “Toodollah or “Ten- dollah, depending on his reputation. During the dull season, they contract for digging cellars, as excavating is one of their chief sources of amusement. Without dentists people would be horribly ignorant, for they never could tell which were the wisdom teeth. 220 FINE ARTS. Although residing in the forests of Garvanza, members of this class have been successfully civilized. Little is known of their wild and isolated life, but there is ultimate hope of discovering in them the Missing Link. They worship one of the muses, and to court her favor spend countless hours in defiling the surface of Hoegee’s XXXX canvas with splotches of yellow ochre. They are of benefit in that they make us thankful that life is not as they paint it. Big 4 Pants Co. Suits made to order Home Phone F 1404 421 S. Spring Los Angeles California U. S. C.
