For if one sets about to define a I ' niversity, he is driven at last to confess that it is not the lioard of Reg-ents, not the Faculty (thoug-h wlio docs not recall individual members vh i have lieliexed tliat they consti- tuted it in cifc ct In ( •!; it is not the buildinii-s, e |uip- ment, laboratories; it is not e en the students them- selves. It is neither one nor all of these. It embraces while it transcends them. It is the unification around some one great idea — often embodied almost in perfec- tion in a single commanding- personality — which is a touchstone emitting- the white light of truth, a magnetic center of attraction, overwhelming in power, and moving always in straight lines of resistless persistence. The University of Texas has developed its bent. Its ideal object can hardly be said to have been individ- ualized. Our hero stands revealed only in misty out- lines. Possibly he is wise in thus slowly revealing him- self. He is very young — seventeen, come September. These last few years he has grown fast. ' IMie safest vent for his g-reat strength has not been found. He often mistakes enthusiasm for high purpose, sound for sense, noise for arg-ument. But one may feel sure that some day he will stand, clean of limb and possessed of high ideals, in clear and beautiful perfection, worthy of our devotion, because love and sacrifice gave him birth; and when he comes he will have his lips touched w ith the fire of truth and honor, and in his heart there shall be a fountain of perpetual youth. W, h-ure until it is m lave said witii some 1 flairs at the I ' niver- -oiiiiwliat proud and ■rlt, the University accuracy represents the tat sity of Texas. Young and 1 arrogant, tinctured with sc spirit, which does g-ive personality to this academic body, has developed more or less definite lines of growth that serve to indicate what it will become when its sinews are streng-theaied by timi ' . its character hardened by the fire of criticism, and its s iul ]iui-)4-e(l in the crucible of experience. If hints w ill serve, tlespile the close per- spective from which the subject must be viewed, we hope to show in brief outlines what characteristic feat- ures individualize the personality of the University of Texas. If we succeed in doing this, you will have seen the University ; for a personality is only a collection of ideas endeavoring to find comjilete realization in one trreat master ideal. LOCATION AND HISTORY Bel the field of description it may be well to refer brielly t i the location and history of the University. l ' orty years before the foundations of the Main University were laid. President Lamar selected the present site at Austin. The hill on which now stand the Main Building, University Hall, and the Chemical Laboratory was then covered with large liveoak trees. During the Civil war, when the Federals had captured ston, a body of Confederate troops cut down these (ialv because th; of an army engineer much of beautv and gi the listructions to the efense of the city. :1 have been added VTIV ' Hi M mpus b 1- 1ki The g-erm from whiL-b tlir rni cr it y c budded and bloomed a plaiiU ' il in the 1 )L ' Llai-atlMn of Texas Independence, jn-onuiljiated on tbr secdiid day ni March, 183(), wherein the Mexican (nnernnient wa-- in- dicted for failing- to establish a system of imhlic ed- ucation. The vicissitudes in the growth of this idea reached their final culmination in 1881, when the crown of the system — our beloved University — was estab- lislu-d and it- maintenance provided for. To us who realize the henelils ,.t coeducation it seems stran.ye that our fathers should have been so fearful of the results of an institution for both sexes. For a long time it was argued that Texas should have two Universities, one for each sex, and that one should be located in the western and the other in the eastern portion of the State. One man at least lived then who saw truly. He successfully fought liotb these ideas in the State Senate, and thus forever wiped out sectional lines in Texas; besides se- curing to the sexes that freedom which is essential to the larger and nobler development that comes from in- tercourse untrammeled bv restrictions which find their home in tlie prai Minien of the insti it- i rowtb. prou lor- over their ma val alumni; Ibev s Tht :es of the dark ages lion have materially contrib- — . and glory. They have competitors; they make our lid for wliat is pure and liolv; and in all things they have demonstrated their right to equal privileges with men. Their number has always ct)nstituted about one-fourth of the matriculates. Seventeen years ag-o the University opened its doors to 200 students. The enrollment for the current session has reached 908; and if one adds to this number the ma- triculates in the summer school of 18 ' )9, it is found that almost 1100 students have attended some branch of the University durini - the past twelve months. Its instruct- ors and administrative officers have increased from 13 to S3. IJuildinys have sprung up; laboratories have been ei|ui| ]ied; two larg ' e College dormitories have been jn-oxided; ] iil)Hc sentiment has been centered and uni- fied, until what bad Ijeen regarded as a mere accident in the ]ii-oi;-ress of the State has come to be looked upon b - the people as an integral and necessarv part of the great Commonwealth of Texas. Instruction is offered in the following departments: Literature. Science and Arts, Law, Medicine, Engineer- ing. In the Department of Medicine are included the Schot)ls of Pharmacy and Nursing. This Department is located at Galveston. The Academic, Law, and En- gineering Departments are located at Austin. The principal part of the instruction at Austin is given in the main building of the University. It contains nearly loo rooms, and is one of the handsomest buildings in the State. The urgent need of a building for young women, providing gymnasium facilities, and where in- struction can be offered in music, painting, sculpture, the domestic arts, and allied subjects; a fire-proof library building; a gymnasium for men; special build- ings for the Schools of Engineering and Physics, — these are only a few of the material equipments which a generous hearted people will shortly supply for the usl- of its sons and daughters in their efforts to in- crease the standards of citizenship. CONTROt AND GOVERNMENT For thirteen without a head. ' the responsibilitii ing powers. Thi Leslie Wagener. In 1896 the Board of Regents called ars the University was practically ' be Chairman of tlie Faculty had all . of a j)resident without correspond- position was long ably filled by Dr. 1. CHEMICAL LAI ' .OH.S 3. GHAfF, HALL Dr. Geo. T. Winston from tho presidency of North Carolina University to ], - tlir lirst President of the University of Texas. He proved himself an active, aggressive man, and was ci y successful in bringing the University and its work to the favorable attention of the public. After holding the position for three years Dr. Winston voluntarily resigned and rLturncd to North Carolina, where he is now President of the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. His resignation brought the Board of Regents again face to face with the serious problem of finding a leader of undoubted strength, who could solve the problems confronting the institution. A committee was sent to the leading universities of the country in search of a suitable man; the press of the State took on themselves their accustomed role of advisors and censors, and groomed their candidates : the alumni and friends every- where discussed the situation and offered suggestions looking to its proper solution. The Regents tided over the immediate stress by making the chairman of the board acting president of the University. By the time of the November meeting the trend of the press and the opinion of the public had set so strongly towards a Texas man that, had the Regents refused to heed the warning, the results would have doubtless been most disastrous. At that meeting Mr. Wm. L. Prather, then Chairman of the Board of Regents, was elected Presi- dent of the University of Texas. President Prather brings to this position an intimate knowledge of the affairs of the University, gathered during twelve years of service as a Regent. He is 52 years old, and has resided in Texas since his fifth year. During his stu- dent days at Washington and Lee University, General Robert E. Lee was its President. In 1871 he graduated in law. Since that time he has been engaged in the practice of his jnofession in Waco. Besides being a successful practitioner, he has been engaged in many business enterprises which have been attended with uniform success. Theoretically, President Prather ' s non-acquaintance with the profession of teaching fur- nishes ground for doubting the wisdom of the Re- gents ' choice. To those entertaining such an opinion one need only point to Seth Low, President of Columbia University, ackno vledged to be one of the most success- ful college presidents of the country. President Low ' s academic training was of the kind acquired in the count- ing room of a large business establishment. The Uni- versity of Texas needs for its President at its present state of development, first, a man known and trusted by the people of the State; second, a man who knows Texas and its people; third, a man of distinct business ability, capable of handling every detail of the large financial interests of the University; fourth, a man intimately acquainted with the ideals of scholarship held by the educational world. . 11 of these qualifica- tions are possessed in some measure by President Prather. Whatever he may lack because of his non- participation of late years in academic affairs is largely offset by his broad grasp of men and affairs, by his power of adaptation, and beyond all these, by his love and devotion to the highest interests of our University. With him, her name and reputation stand next to his family and his religion. From this time forward the students will expect him to guard and foster the inter- ests of the University with the same fidelity and faith- fulness that he would give to a client in desiierate need of his services. Thus far his administration has been attended by a single incident. The outcome of this incident is the widely prevalent belief that there is a backbone to his lir ,1 ■ «« I f n ' l 1 ■ I EUSITY HALL laithlullv, unsv In (lutv that 1u ' in. tinu STUDENT LIPE This excursion intn tlic liistory of the University has seemed necessary. The office of the President of tile riii ersit will exert a most powerful influence on itN futui-e. It ! - aid to be the most difficult position which American society can call upon a man to till. Here special and peculiar difficulties environ it. Stu- dent sentiment is colored by an iconoclastic tint that is probably a reflection of the influence of Mr. lirann. The prevalent democracv is so excessive in its demanil for freedom that it is often degraded into a specious populism that would destroy w here it can not convince by peaceful methods. A person in authority is, per- force, one who must be looked upon, if not with sus- picion, with much mental reservation. The lesson of loj-alty has yet to be completely mastered; the license of unwarranted and unjust criticism will soon be rele- g-ated, let us hope, to its proper limbo in the realm of politics, and cease to be invoked by those whom the public confidently look to for higher and nobler ideals. The real university must be a family life in which loyalty of each member to the whole shall be the divine inspiring breath. But while truth and candor comjiel us to admit that this spirit of loyalty is not yet in our midst in perfection, our recognition of the absence of the ideal shows that we have unconsciously set it before us. It is a lesson that will be good for us all to learn, from the President down to the humblest student, — it being understood that the faculty are included in the bodv to whom this recommendation is made. Who r i.a rt in th L - fan lih life that s . .f th ■ Vn vei sitv. In ..r u •posi and mi tual for- this ul ra-d ■moc rae V. falselv tails in this has no ck: should make single the a few years, through i bearance, we shall out called freedom. President David Starr Jordan, of Leland Stanford University, says : In the environment fittest for train- ing young men and women, there are three mighty ele- ments, — healthfulness, beauty, and freedom. When judged bv these standards the environment of our own student body is most fortunate. Few cities can boast of such entire freedom from epidemics, and the general health of all classes is far above the average. Austin is situated on the end of the plateau through which the Colorado breaks to spread out into the broad alluvial valley of the south. The river, the mountains, the lake (that was), the high prairies to the north and east, make it a location of exceptional natural beauty, especially when one comes to contrast it with the unbroken monot- ony of the plains of West Texas and the forests of the eastern portion of the State. The great granite capitol, whose bigness makes the city appear pigmy-like, stands guard to the south of the University —like a protecting husband keeping watch over his tender spouse. Other public buildings, the Blind Institute, the Deaf and Dumb Institute, the Insane Asylum, etc., add picturesqueness and interest to a city made beautiful by the gifts of nature. But, after all, it is the spirit of freedom, the eqalitv of merit, woven into the very organization of the University, that gives it a unique place among the col- leges of the South. A thousand young men and women meet daily in its classrooms, library, and college grounds on term of absolute freedom. The rich and the poor follow Socrates through the mazes of his dialectics; male and female sit together as disciples at the feet of AUDITORIUM 11 in I i sculapius. There is a dominant aristocracy, but it is the aristocracy of g-enius and scholarly attainmonts, imt of birth or position. There are distinctions of sex, but they are only -luh distinctions as ] revail in the most refined society. Tlie spirit of companionship and help- ful sympathy thus aroused break down the false stand- ards set up by those who are todies after name and wealth, or lack faith in human virtue. This atmosphere of freedom, coupled with the lars e outlook that is ex- ceeding-ly becoming to a Texan, constitutes the dis- tinffuishingf work of our University. Already we have touched upon some of the dangers which it has led us into. Possibly the dangers have been overestimated. Be that as it ma ' , it is certain that the mental attitude of freedom from artificial re- straint, characteristic of the average student ' s mind as he faces any question, is one tif our most fortunate jxis- sessions. Truth does not need in : hidden to be rendered holy. This frank open-mindedness prevails in all relations at the University. The work of the class-room is not a blind worship of the fetish of a professor. Through two w-eekly newspapers, a monthly magazine, and The C. crrs, the mind of the student finds expression upon all college affairs. His opinions are stated freely, vigorously, fearlessly- His field of criti- cism is bounded only by the sky-line of the universe. At times his Southern conservatism is painfully appar- ent, — witness the appearance of a snob in the University corridors. While slowly gaining ground, it is not be- lieved that knickerbockers will ever become universally popular, because, it may be, they are a peculiar pro- duct of Yankeedom; but it is rather more likely due to the students ' quiet protest against a change that counters on his aesthetic appreciation, as did the bloomers of the erstwhile past. The University is engaged in the production of citi- zens, not of sects. The Constitution wisely provides, while admitting as students all of whatever creed or belief, that no sectarian instruction be given. This provision is seized upon by zea lous and slanderous theo- logians, and we are often branded as atheists and in- fidels. The principles of Christianity are taught and practiced in every class-room. The students gather each morning at a chapel service, led by some pastor of the city; the} ' support Christian associations for both men and women; conduct student Bible classes, and engage in other kinds of religious work. Among the Faculty and students are some of the most successful Sunday-school superintendents and teachers in Austin. To sav that vice or immorality in any form is counte- nanced or encouraged is a low brand of slander, used either through ignorance or spleen. The student body here are as free from vice as any like number of young peoi le — and you may search the wide world through. But why need we take up seriatim the organizations that are the result of student activity. The following pages, through picture, stor y, and song, more vividly and accurately paint the picture than could many vol- umes of dry analysis. Read the story that we have hinted at there, and, if possible, read it with the eyes of a more generous and less critical philosophy than we could employ in setting down these words. Before we close, the claim of the Medical Depart- ment for special mention must be } ielded to. Separated from the Main University by some hundreds of miles, through the high ideals it has set for itself and its faith- fulness in living up to their utmost demands, we have been drawn very close together. A community of pur- pose and interest will strengthen and draw closer these b(jnds as the years pass by. GIRLS GYMNASIUM THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT ' I ' lie Medical Di-partnicnt (if llie L iii varsity was finally org-aiiized by the selection of its Faculty in 1891, and the first instruction was given during- the session of 1801-92. As first established, the course of medical study extended in graded form o lm- three annual ses- sions of seven months duration each. In a few years the sessions were lengthened to seven and one-half months each, and by recent regulation of the Faculty the Regents are requested to authorize a further exten- sion to eight months. In 1897, after announcement to such effect the previous session, an additional or final term was placed in operation, all students matriculat- ing in 1897 and subsequently being required to com- plete a course of four years ' duration for the Degree of Medicine. From its inception the whole trend of the work of the school has been to the elevation of the worth and dignity of the degree; and upon the independent basis of a part of the public school sy- tem of the State, the school has sought to avoid the laxity so widely and so long the shame of the medical education in America, and to insist upon efficiency and thoroughness of work as the only return from the student for a practically gratuitous professional education at the hands of the State. It has realized that its first duty to the people who created it is to provide as fully as it can a corps of trained and competent practitioners of medicine, and the efforts of the whole body of instructors have been bent to this end, rather than to the more showy, but, from the utilitarian purpose of the school, more ques- tionable object of medical research. It is essentially a teaching school. Its teachers have been selected with this object in view, and have been required, wherever practicable, to devote themselves entirely to this end; and there is probably no school in the country where more direct supervision is given by the teachers to the work of the student, or where more intimate relations between the teachers and students obtain. It is felt that the value of such effort toward broadness and thoroughness of instruction and of interested super- vision of work has in this instance been amply demon- strated in the high professional attainments, the almost universal success of the graduates in competitive ex- aminations abroad as well as at home, and in their work and the esteem in which they are held in their various private and public stations. The facilities for instruction are good. The labora- tories, it is true, have been crowded by the larger classes after the first year or two of the school ' s exist- ence, and further equipment along this line is needed, but in each the fundamental and necessary equipment is good. The hospital owned by the school annually cares for between 40(1(1 and 5ii(j(i ward and outdoor cases, furnishing an amjile supjdy of illustrative clinical ma- terial, with which the higher classes are constantly brought into close contact. Like the rest of the University of Texas the Medical Department is co-educational. A special inducement to young women seeking medicine and the allied branches as professions exists in the provision of Mr. George W. Brackenridge, of San Antonio, of the comforts of a home for such students in the University Hall. It is a beautiful building close to the College, built for this pur- pose and for the further object of affording a suitable dining hall for the whole student body. Owing to the efficient management of the Hall by the student body, under the cooperative plan, excellent board is afforded them at less than SIO per month for the individual. The rooms of the second and third stories are rented to the women students at reasonable prices. Tlio Sl-1u)o1 ,,1- PliarmaL-y was or-aiii cd in Is ' i,;. A gradod course of two sessions of the same duration as those of the Medical School is provided; and what has been said of the spirit, purpose, equipment, and suc- cessful working of the Medical School may be reiterated in connection with the School of Pharmacy. The School of Nursing- was for years merely an adjunct of the Scaly Hospital, but was included as a University course in 1897. Its management, aside from the features of instruction, are delegated by the Board of Regents to the Board of Managers of the hospital; the teaching devolves upon the instructor of nursing and the general teaching corps of the School of Medi- eine. It is limited to a class of twentv-four women pupil , and the course is graded, extending over two sessions, each continuous throughout the year. Its im- portance to the hospital is incalculable, and the demand for its graduates as efficient caretakers of the sick attests its value to the jieople of the State. No fees are required for entrance, hut admission is permitted only by special fitness of the applicant and after responsible recommendation. These three schools, working together, constitute the Medical Department of the University of Texas. Tuition is free in all of them. The small matriculation fee and laboratory fees are only sufficient to cover the incidental expenses of the different departments. The professors are virtually officers of the State, since their salaries come directly from the general revenue. One spirit animates all, — that of earnest, conscientious effort to promote efficiency in the prevention and alle- viation of human ills. The whole Department has stood a step in advance of all similar institutions in the South and West, and by force of example, if in no other way, has been the i)otent fact.)r in l)ringing about the best Ivances in nedical education in the Southland in ist eight or ten vears. This it has been able to d( State schoo , untrammeled by serious local or finan necessities. It has admitted all who could with any reason hope to obtain its degrees, but it has not hesi- tated to indicate dissatisfaction with the work or ability of any individual at any stage of progress, and its graduates represent, after a process of selection from the large number of the lower classes, a high grade of professional excellence. With a continuation of such methods and purposes, a brighter future exists for scarcely another school in the land. THE MISSION OF THE UNIVERSITY The Honorable Alexander W. Terrell delivered the tirst annual address before the Kusk and Athen;eum Literary Societies in 1SS4. A par.agraph in that ad- dress strikingly sets forth the mission of the Univer- sity. He said: No university was ever designed to accomplish the impossilile in the effort to polish dull mediocrity. The State ' s bounty in the endowment of ours was not bestowed to force into its halls the youth who lackseither the brains or the ambition to advance. It is a beacon light on the advance line of civili;iation, whose fires are only to be kept l)urning by ambition and intel- ligence; and w lien these are possessed in an eminent degree by any youth in the common schools and acade- mies of Texas, no matter how poor he may be, the means to develop them here will be at hand. Thus far the University has faithfully performed the task set by the man who had a large share in its founding. Year bv year it has grown in numbers and equipment. An- nually more than one hundred students leave its halls bcariny- a diiilcnna a a mark m1 aiipn.val of their alma matL-r. During- its sovcntoon years of life each year has added sul)tle elements that go to make the character, the nature of the University atmosphere. Each alumnus carries away something in common, and thi-- -.omethiiiL; has come to mean much. It is even n. L;atlu rin ; In strength and definiteness. Some day soon it will shine so brightly that its ideal will stand out boldly and clearly. When that day comes, around whatever great personality this ideal centers, the hem will possess much 111 the kindly, gentle si)irit. the wise and priideiil foresight, the catholic, charital)le soul of him who goes so quietly among us to-day, and whose influence is strong because it is cloaked in the mantle of love. l!ut enough of mor.ili ing.

Many a cherished victory is to us accredited. Many a golf suit has been worn after all the Seniors said. Do you blame us, then, if happ.y with the vict ' ries of the past We should brajf and boast a little while we ' re proudly Sophomore classed; We know what j-ou ' ll say about us when you read this limping- verse, — ' ■That as ' Fresh ' we decked the inside with the green; or worse, That we blossomed into Sophomores with a little better grace, — But you ' ll see the hottest Juniors that have ever graced this place. And we dimly see before us what the future has in store, — See tlie Germans and the fair ones, and see lectures cut galore; See the t ' nderclassman ' s envy as he hopes it be not vain That some day he, too, may lord it o ' er this college life ' s domain. mm SONG OF THE SEA C ' .iol. c,«.l, ill their ilcwy bed The l)ilk.w-m;iidens sleep; Under the waves in the coral caves The sea-green monster.- creep; Down, down where the strangled dead Their still, pale vig-il keep. Under the foam in the long- sea-home. Sleep, sleep, sleep. I came down to the sea by a long, precipitous path. Out of the winding ways of a world that stifles ;iiui kill.-. With its hand on the throat of the weak, — by a narn.w. perilous path, Down to the emerald edge of the sea that pities and stills. There on the trembling brink of the world with mj- burden I stood. Where the amorous sky leans down to embrace its tempestuous bride. And the hooded mountains, sheer steeps shocked iipri!, ' -ht, tower and brood Over gloomy vales, and the long winds whistle d. wn to the tide. The sinuous, v apory arms of the sea reached up to hold The precious weight I had borne till it bruised me, and bent, and tired. Yearned hungrily, and the mist of its breath in my face was cold As a kiss on dead lips, or the opaline glow of its phosphoric fire. Dimly, dimly glowed the pale Boreal light; Coldly, coldly sighed the wind In its flight; And the fitful sea made moan In a treble monotone. Calling, calling for its own. Thro ' the night. Fleetl_v through the dark ab_vss Fled the loon, Stark, and startleil by the sea ' s Mournful croon; And like splintered silver spears. Tipped with crimson, crystal spheres. Fell the opalescent tears Of the mcxin. Far out where the feathery wavelets di|ipeil and raced to the shore, In swift undulation, urjred on by the little wind ' s fitful caress. I fluntc it, and with eyes hot and bursting with tears, leaned lower and lower ' Gainst the pulsating, nebulous breast of the foam, free and comfortless. Free, yet sad to be free; strong with the strength of a man. Yet craving the bruise and burden of weakness, and thinUin.; it ill To feel the wind in my hair, the blush on my cheeks that were wan, Free, yet cowering there till the pitying sea sobbed and was still. Then a voice called out of the pain of the world far down to the mere. Called -soft as remembered strains that sigh through dreams that are gone. Sweet as the first faint cry of the birthling that falls on the pale mother ' s ear And up from the swarthy deep sprang the purple wraith of dawn. Far, far by the orient star Quivered the vermeil sea. On to the slips where the battered ships Lay at anchor in the lee; Out, out of the crimson rout. Loose from the dread decree. Up from the fear of the dark mid-mere. Free, free, free! Free and stainless! The south wind, mocker, laughed under his breath. Laughed louder, till the jeering echoes shivered and shrieked in the main. Laughed till up from the pit of the sea rolled hurtling death. High Hung, with clamorous arms far reaching like shreds of Hame. And out of its wind-mad agony the stricken mere Yielded the crimson thing I had thrown to its mercy: hurled It back at my feet, a wan corpse torn from its sepulchre: And the long winds shook and sighed through gray vales on up to the worli Cold, cold, in the willowy fold Of the yearning, hungry deep. Under the waves, in their sedgy graves. The strangled mortals sleep; Down, down, in the silent town Where the pale sea-maidens weep. Under the foam in the long, long home. Sleep, sleep, sleep I Addison Ci,. rk.

CLASS HISTORY ' 03 III C las -it that: iwn I act tl n tr iiualitiesor human con- its are ever on the increase?), but ini various mysterious siyns and U - ns it is whispered that the climax has at last been reached in the Class of Naughty Three. Has there ever been such a class before? Surely the answer can only be negative, and we, as highly honored class-historian, take it upon ourselves to utter this neg- ative vehementlvand accompanied bva piercing exclama- tion pi int: No, there never has 1 Such an assembly, august though vouthful, where we find adepts in many arts — poets, artists, musicians, and Beau Brummels I The first Class meeting, after all the members, trembling with a new found embarrassment, I:ad been coralled, was conducted bj ' an ex-Freshman, and was broken up amidst great confusion and bowls for ven- geance. The second meeting inaugurated the Under- wood Era, during which Naught} ' Three distinguished herself by a grand reception; a gixid, genial reception which gave one leisure to exchange more than the time of day as one was hurried by. The Fisher Era, also known as the Fall of Parliamentary Discipline, beheld a royal German such as Freshmen have never dared to give before. How well we all remember the dancing hall resplendent with Ijright lights, and tilled with a gay gentlemen. Hut net (inly un the par. net did the Class of ' 03 excel — nay, on tlie gridiron. the diamond, anl i:i the nistrum. Hut sucli was in t he time of peace.

Fresh- man declined aliment; .Tunioi Law became ])ressing; l ' reshman returned pressure. and the result was an un- dignified scuffle of which i.iadly gesticulating limbs and clouds of dust were the main features. The clamor for a cane rush arose but was cruelly nipped in the bud by an unsympathizing faculty. However, the suppression of such a natural vent to Fresh feelings did not put the Finis on the page recording the Junior Law vs. Freshman wars — the time for a miniature judgment day was still to come. The long dormant Imging for revenge was at last aroused and satisfied on no less an occasion than a base- ball game. Everybody that was anybody from both factions was present, and every one had uncorked his enthusiasm; the air was so per aded with it that as soon as it touched either a Junior Law or a l- ' reshman, said air became audible, _vea, even distinctly boisterous. But this was the very atnn)sphere for a mortal struggle rliiricus triumpli f. 4o m his aureate chariot of tr ■h liistv cheers as dul the her and one that ended us- Freshmen.

Historian. THE FLYING DUTCHMAN OU have possibly not a great red scar on white as cotton, stoi intr on a cane, wande; mercial district. Ht ced a tall old man with his pale cheek, hair as p-shouldered and lean- ing- idly about our com- re is one of his favorite -..tories as he told it to me: Many a year has passed since that fatal October day when the Jeanne d ' Arc cleared the docks at Liver- pool and stood south, bound for Calcutta by way of Cape of (lood Hope. Every day saw a day ' s sailing- further from tlu- winter and closer to the springaswe made our way d ' lwn, down, over the Equator and on toward the i- ' ape. It was as pretty sailing as a ship ever knew, and the Jeanne d ' Arc seemed as proud as a swan as she advanced into the land of summer, with her snowy wings spread above her. They say a swan sings a song of marvelous sweetness as it approaches its death. I heard no sound from the Jeanne d ' Arc in those sunny days except the murmuring of the waters against her sides, and the crooninsy of the winds amony her sails and cordage. When we had l)een out ni Liv.-rpool about four weeks, possibly live, and were getting- into the neigh- borhood of Good Hope, our watch sat one evening at supi)er in the forecastle. Old Christopher Hughes sat at my side, and I noticed that he ate hardly anything, and was silent, — both very unusual for Christopher. ' What ' s gone wrong-, Christopher? ' I asked him. The old fellow looked at me keenly for a moment, and then answered: ' Have ye noticed anything strange in Shelton ' s conduct the last few days? I had noticed the old crippled cook that very morn- ing- standing at the ship ' s side, looking down into the water as if he saw the devil swimming there, and when I h;i(i spoken to him he had turned and lim] cd hurriedly away tnw.ird the galley, where breakfast was cooking, w ithout answering mv salute. ••I t(.ld Christ. ' iphJr of this. ' I don ' t knuw what Xn think, ' said he. ' Shelton stopi)ed uie by the main hatch to-day, and after staring- at me for awhile as if he had lost his bearings entirely, he asked me how long I thought the fair weather would last. Now wasn ' t that a fine blooming question? And that ' s not all. He has evidently been off his course several days, and I am afraid the old fellow is losing- his mind entirely. ' ' But maybe he ' s only scared, ' he continued, ' and I don ' t know but he has occasion. Now, ye remember, ' here the old man dropped his voice into a strained whis- per, ' that the Flying Dutchman, or Death Ship, as it is sometimes called, is never seen except in the latitude of Good Hope, and any ship that sig-hts it will be wrecked before the end of the voyage. They say it appears only in stormy weather, and may be known by its ancient hull and rigging, and its sides are white, or perhaps phosphorescent with age. And when some poor doomed ship is struggling along in the storm under a lonely foresail the phantom ship will come riding by with every sail spread full to the wind, skimming the waves like a seagull, vanish into the storm again, and the fated craft knows its end is near. ' ' And is the cook worrying over our coming into the Death Ship ' s latitude? ' I asked. ' I don ' t know. There ' s no telling what is troubling the old fellow. By the Bloody Hammer, I wish we were well around the Hope and standing north again! ' I could not help laughing at the old man ' s earnest- ness. ' O, well, my lad, ' sighed Christopher, ' I like to hear you laugh at the thought of fear, but we are in a dangerous latitude — past denying. God grant ye can laugh a month from now. God grant that no mishap send you where your white teeth will grin among y iur bones, before she strikes port again. ' -Why, Christopher, ' I answered, ' I believe you are as badly touched as Shelton. ' Several days passed, uneventful days in one sense, but days that are burned into mv meniorv to stav. (iraduallv the winds liecamc mure and more uncertain. aiul i.liiiuly, iiilsly w lmIIut set in, i thiit the un was seldom seen. Christopher lluijhes and Shelton con- tinued their uneasy conduct until the entire crew seemed affected by it. By degrees a spirit of unrest and anxiety seemed to pervade the very air, and our brave, jolly fel- lows seemed slowly to assume the bearing- of a rrew of hopeless convicts sailing- to their doom. O, it was pitiful! One of the boys would suddenly realize the utter foolishness of our behavior, and try to bring- about a change by springing a joke or starting a song. But no one would join him, or even rig up a smile, and he would blush and shake himself and drop into silence again. And the burly old captain seemed as miserable as the crew. While I was at the wheel at ten in the morn- ing, Sunday morning it was, I think, when we had been in the fogs for several days, there was a little rift in the clouds and the sun peeped out for a moment. How fine it seemed! A shout went up from the crew as joyful as if the harbor lights of the home port had burst into view. The captain seized a sextant from a locker neai- at hand and placed it to his eye. But the rift in the clouds closed in again before the sextant could be used. ' This is dangerous, ' muttered the captain. ' We have been running without a sight of the sun for six days. The dead reckoning indicates that we are some- where near the Cape, but there lies the danger. We must not get too near and run at round. Would to (lod we were around the Cape! ' e would all feel better then! ' The sky grew darker as the day advanced, and toward evening a stiff gale was blowing out of the west. One by one the sails came in before the rising wind, and when darkness came upon us we were scudding along under the foresail and lower foretopsail, pelted by a drenching rain, while the racing waters broke con- tinually over the bulwarks, keeping the decks flowing with water. At eight o ' clock the starboard watch went lielow for four hours of rest. The night was black and rough at that time, and it was clear to the youngest of us that terrible weather was impending. Our watch had orders to be readv for a call at anv time to come on deck, so we retired willmut reniovnigour wet clothing. Christopher Hughes occupied a bunk just over me, and the weather or some other cause seemed to have rendered the old fellow unusually restless that night. Some time after retiring, I heard him mutter to himself: ' (), it ' s all a lie, all a lie a tale for fools to fret al)0ut; but somehow I can ' t get it off my mind. If the Klying Du.chman did exist, I think he ' d surely come to-night. Ciod helj) us to get on ai ' ound that Cape. ' At last I fell asleep, in spite of the heavv lurching of the ship, and had probal)ly slei t two hours, when I was aroused by the i-lani;iiig of a bell and someone tugging at my .inn. wliile the rouiili ( iee of the boat- swain shouted : •••.Ml hands on deek ! Kenorl tu the (luartenleek iiids ••.lerking on our oil-skii turned out together. ' •Ah! my friend, there was the wildest night that ever these eyes beheld ! ' i ' hewind shrieked and howled through the rigging, gigantic waves went racing and l)lungiin; like to]i]iling mountains, and the lightning played about the sky in a living network of fire. The brave old Jeanne d ' Arc toiled forward, leaning heavily to leeward, groaning and quivering painfully under her punishment. The officers and crew stood huddled together on the quarterdeck, clinging to the taffrail for support, realizing that nothing could be done but stand ready for whatever fate might send, and pray for the storm to pass. The situation was desperate, and in the midst of all the noise and commotion suddenly there was heard a wild, piercing laugh, prolonged and loud, fairly paralyz- ing us with its fearful tones. It was like the laugh of a demon, it was so wild and terrible. It seemed to come from somewhere up in the rigging. While we stood there peering fearfully aloft toward the unearthly sound, expecting at any moment to see some ghostly apparition in the air above us, suddenly a great glare of lightning overspread the sky, and perched like a monkey on the upper topsail yard, appeared a black, dwarfish figure, pointing off to leeward and shrieking hysterically. We had hardlv discovered the thing when the laugh u-as clianj; ' cd to a .shout, and wo could rci.n) ni e the poor old cook ' s voice as he screamed: God save the Jeanne d ' Arc! The Flying- Dutch- man is upon us! ' and the old humpback came scram- blinii ' ilMw n the shrouds from his voluntary lookout aloft. ■■■What is the lig-ht in the starboard quarter? ' It was Christopher that spoke. Forg-etting- old Shelion for the time, all hands turned to the direction indicated. At first we could make out only a dim, green light, g-leaming faintly throug-h the gk)om, but as we gazed in silence and dread there slowly took shape before our eyes a quaint, old-fashioned ship advancing upon us out of the darkne-s, steering- directly into the wind. She was riding boldly atoj) o( the raging waves, and her yards were trimmed as if the wind were the mildest of breezes. Mark ye, mate, every sail was spread! As shv came nearer it seemed that her very hull gleamed indistinctly like a smouldering fire, and upon her shin- ing decks were g-roups of sailors, in dress of a verv peculiar style, standing and strolling- idly about. When the craft came abreast our ship, it seemed that her crew were pointing to us and hugging one another in glee at the sight, while faintly through the howling of the storm we could hear her watch bell ring- ing in mellow, musical tones, and hear the crew laugh- ing- and sing-ing, laughing most wierdly. as the old cook had laughed in the rigging. ' ■ ' God pity the Jeanne d ' Arc! ' shrieked Shelton. ' The Flving Dutchman is here! ' As we turned toward the old maniac to hush his noise, he retreated down the deck, and when again we looked tow-ard the mysterious craft to leeward, we could hardly believe our eyes; for what d ' ye suppose we saw-? Nothing but the wild, black sea? No sign of that shin- ing ship was there; she had vanished as she had ap- peared, and left no trace behind. ' .Vlive! Look to windward ! ' shouted Christopher. Blood of the Martyrs! There she rode off our weather bow, a half league from where she ' d been just now, lighting up the frenzied waves about her, a devil ' s own dance proceeding on her glistening decks! No! where is the ship? She disappeared even while we were straining our eyes upon her. The storm and the night seemed to have swallowed her up again. ' God save the Jeanne d ' Arc! ' yelled Shelton up by the forepeak. ' ••Ijoys! ' shouted the captain, ' Come close to me; do not be frightened by a mirage. If the storm gets no worse than this we will weather it all right. God ! what was that? She has struck a rock! She is aground! Heaven pity us! ' I know no more of it all. A mighty rush and whirl, a crash as of a thousand cannon, all the stars of heaven shooting like meteors about, and darkness, and death. When I came to myself I was lying alone on a lonely shore, half buried in sand and driftwood, lioiies broken like straws, and my poor face cut to pieces. I have not shipped as a sailor again.

With angelic patience born of long experience. Professor Taylor began his her- culean task of transforming- these ignorant youths intoworld-renowned engineers. Little by little they have learned that a level is not a transit, that a range pole is not a prod pole, and that when sighting through ihe telescope one eye should be closed. By vir- tue of the patience and perseverance of the instructor, they have learned to level up after taking a sight, and that H. I. — F. S. = E. The Sophomores are about half as numer- ous as the first year engineers, but they nevertheless, with characteristic Sophomore self-esteem, believe themselves capable of running a railroad, the whole department, and — just running.

Like whispered ang-els sigfhs between The long- rifts of j ' on starry pall, Into a wilderness of pain. F ' leet-wing-ed echoes of far chonls.

Not words, even of thy bell-like voice Tuned to low trembling melodies.

Not those harsh German strains that swell Like Northmen ' s iiealing trumpet blast. Not Wagner ' s tierce dith_vrambic runes. Or storied chaunts of heroes old ; Nor those too ardent Southern tunes That set the hot blood pulsing fast. ' Tis something from those sad-eyed Poles, Who strive in dulcet plaint to drown The pent pain of a bruised race — The chastened harmonies of souls Whose hope, lorn of its biding pbice, Dies in an ecstacy of sound. Luigo, touch once th;it wild theme. With the far-stealing minor strain — The limpid tears of pained notes — As when from lustral cloud-heights ' sheen Sad seraphs touch ethereal lutes And all the voiceless stars complain. Addison Ci..

D. 1898, there came into the above styled rnivcr- sitv one certain class, crowd, g ang ' , or herd of men and boys, thereafter Icnmvn as the Law Class of TMio, who did then and tliere, with force and arm and a,yain--t tile peace and digaiity of all w ho stood in their way, proceed to seize and take possession of the said University, and appurtenances thereto, and have ever since withheld the possession of the same from the properly constituted antliorities. and do now hold and gxivern same in accord- ance with the constitution, by-laws, and wishes of the said class, crowd, f ang-, or herd. That on or about the date afore? aid, the aicl cl; ss, crowd, gang, or herd did convene in irrei;ular. riotous session, and organize themselves into a politico-oratori- cal-athletic-educational society, known as the Junior Law Class, for an account of the proceedings and list of offi- cers of which reference is iiereby made to a history of same contained in the Cactus of IS ' i ' i. That thereafter, to wit, im the tirst day of October. A. D. 1899, after an adjournment for three months, the rowd, gang, or herd did reconvene in nn, and dii;-nitied session, and organize ltd an august, wise, and learned body, iwn as the Senior Law Class, and did then ith malice aforethought, elect one cer- Murr.iv as President of said Class, to .1.1 said office of President for a term of said cl regular, soler themsel es in thereafter km and there, w tain ' riii.mas have and to 1„ two months. ' I ' hat theaforcsaid Murray did occupy the said ofHce for the said term, to wit. two months, and ditl. with tile care and diligence of an ordinarily prudent Senior Law in the exercise of his own interests, guide the aforesaid class, crowd, gang, or herd through the perils and hard- ships of Agency and Partnership with very few- fatalities. That thereafter, to wit. on or about January 1, A. D. I ' too, the said term for which the aforesaid Murray was elected, viz., two months, having expired, one certain Henry Willis Lemmons, leave of the class being first had and obtained, did enter upon the said office of Pres- ident, and forcibly eject the said Murray therefrom, take possession of same, and proceed to govern the said class, crowd, gang, or herd according to the forms and rules dictated by his own desire and wishes. That during the time that said Lemmons did so hold pos- session of the aforesaid office, the said class, crowd, gang, or herd did encounter, engage, and conquer three formidable and much dreaded enemies, to wit, Equity, Insurance, and ' Corporations, the tirst of which placed the said class, crowd, gang, or herd in great jeopardy of dire destruction, and occasioned great loss in killed and wounded. That thereafter, vi .. on ir about March 1. Tmio. the said class, crowd, gani; ' . (u- herd, having first ousted the aforesaid Lemmons from possession of the said office of President, coineiied in riotous and disorderly session, and with reckless disregard of the public safety, did elect one certain Samuel Randolph Shadle to the said office, to serve during good behavior, for a term not to exceed two months. That during said term the said class, crowd, gang, or herd, either in absolute ii;-norance or . ' ckloss disresrard : tlu ' niaxiiii, He wild i;i)mL ' inlo equity must come with clean hands, took uj) Real Estate and did dig- in same for nearly the entire of said term before they succeeded in mal int;- an excava- .ion lartic cnoui -h to allow tlinn tu pa--- tliroiiij-h. Tliat nothing- more of impurtance ha in-- been trans- acted during the term for which the said .Shadle was elected, and the said class, crowd, gang-, or herd having held the said Shadle responsible in toto for their defeat on the baseball diamond by an aggregation of minors, idiots, lunatics, and married men, derisively styled the Junior Law Class, did uprise and institute impeachment proceedings against said Shadle, and having divested him of the authority with which he was clothed by virtue of the said office of President, vested same in one Edward Overshiner to have and to hold same unto him and his hair forever, or until the aforesaid class, crowd, g-ang. or herd should disperse and go hence without da v. ' I ' hat the said Overshiner did, iluring- his said term of office, guide the said class, crnwil. gang, or herd safely throug:h the turbulent waters of Bills and Notes, Constitutional Law. anil Internationa! of ileslructidn iind starvation. The ]M-emises considered, the said class, crowd, gang, or herd pray that the Supreme Court, for and in con- sideration of five (85.00) to it in hand paid, or secured to be paid by five certai-i pi-ornissory notes for one (SI. 00) dollar each, payable one. twd. three, four, and five years after date, allow the said ela-.s, crowd, gan r, or herd to go to the country to ••prey for sucii other ;in(l further relief as they may in law and ec|uity be not entitled to, and for general relief, and a-, in duty bound f.-e l;iw- yers) they will forever •■prey.

But in the life of a Junior Law there is ntit one dav around which there do not clusUr hapi v e ents that will brig-hten forever the pag ' cs in his album ol reminis- cences. For this is the first year of his college course, and every experience is new. For the first time lie climbs the hill to the University —the Mecca of his ambition - and as he seats himself in the class-room and gazes with reverence at the walls, lined with sheKes bearing hundreds of ponderous old tomes, he feels for the first time the nobility and the sacredness of his pro- spective profession. But his reveries are rudely dis- turbed by the roll call, and he suddenly awakens with a start, to wonder if this jolly looking- Falstaff can really be the serious and learned Professor Batts. Unfortunately he is not left long in doubt. The Professor asks him a question. He rises and attempts to stutter something-, but his head grows vacant and he takes his seat. Professor Batts smiles. I ' xaminations in Blackstone come, and before he is through he lo,,ksatthe pictures of the graduates that adorn the walls and wonders how in the world they ever became e en Seniors. Then for everv where: thL ■St time he le: veil, and vel Hacks one — Batts. ' Jui, And w lien these soul-stirnng syllables rumlde through the corridm-s and penetrate boldly to the centre of the reiiioUst recitation room, the Professors are wont to frown in disg-ust, and the Freshmen to quake with terrcn-. But these Freshmen are a bibulous lot, and notwith- standing their timorousness — we could hardly say on account of it- -not one has been known to refuse a ••drink when the .lunior Laws offered it. liut it is (dten asserted that the Freshmen haven ' t always been the humble creatu.ri ' S that they now appear; such is the truth — and the story runs like this: Having once upon a time gained a victory in afootball game over the Junior Laws, they l ecame so proud and insolent that it was found necessary to instruct them in good behavior, a task we gratuitously assumed. We caug-ht their ring- leaders, and bringing them down to law quarters we jirepared to administer unto them. The Freshmen hordes left their classes and rushed to the rescue. The Junior Law V ' ell broug-ht their stalwart champio ns to the front and down the stairs they came, fighting every inch of the way. Reaching their room, the Junior I aws pulled the captives in, and then tried to barricade the doors, but the Freshmen swarmed around the entrance and the fight grew hot. The wail of the Freshmen rang out over the building, followed b_v the thunder of the Junior Laws, until all the classes were broken up. The fight was at its fiercest when Judge Townes appeared and the storm subsided, while the Junior Laws dropped sheepishly into their seats and listened to Judge Townes, as he ' talked in a kind, calm, vet firm manner, upon the care and management of Its. We scored a victory under Judge Townes in Torts, and after burying Professor Batts under a pile of Crim- inal Law examinations, we sailed out into the troubled sea of Contracts, with Judge Simkins at the helm, and his lofty sentiments and poetic allusions did mucli to make it a pleasant voyage. We wish we had time to speak of the Widow Hooker, Senator Thomas, Captain Hart. District Attorney Sow- der. Chief Justice Marshall. Archbishop Ardrey. and many others who have immortalized themselves; but each will be left to recall the faces of those who are associated with his most pleasant experiences. May the strong, healthv class spirit which exists among the Junior Laws continue throughout life, that when we meet upon its great battlefields we can shake liands as old comrades. Long live the Junior I aw Class of I ' Mlo.

He had not seen Qxnzrsws Ini- ihrre long- days; why shuuld she be so cold? True, tliriie a day he had presented his card at her mansion, but each time her cruel father had g-reeted him with impreca- tions, and at his departure had warned him, as he valued his life, to keep off the g-rass. This formal procedure alarmed the brave Xqzpnrctvhs. He realized that il he hoped to win the fair Uxnzrsvw this side the tomh he must begin to seek the fabled fountain of y i.th. fur the close of each day found him one year older. lUit for the consolation of his pipe, he would doubtless have eaten his can of Alger ' s Potted Ham; and his sack of Durham was well-nigh exhausted. Yet he remembered with pleasure that he had saved up fifty tag ' s with which he purposed to purchase a fan for the beautiful Uxnzrsvw. But here his meditation was disturbed. It began to snow, and, remembering that he had left his umbrella at home, he hastened toward the village. The shades of eve were falling. Xqzpnrctvhs looked at his watch. It was six o ' clock; in less than a month the sun would set. He walked rapidly along the river- bank until he came to the home of Oxnzrsvw. He turned his eves toward the ottoman where he had often spoken to her words of tenderness and affection; she sat there, looking perfectly divine, in the beautiful even- ing dress he had given her the day before. But her father sat by her side, so Xqzpnrctvhs thought it the better part of valor to iiolitelv tip his new straw hat and on. Hut his sori ' ow had not yet readied its culmination. He had gone just forty-three steps when he beheld his hou.se in flames. He quickened his pace, hoping to save his statue of Leif I ' h ' icson at all hazards; but when he reaeheci the assciiihled crowd, his home was in ruins. ' i ' lie water sup]ily was exhausted, and the efforts of the noble firemen were in vain. X(| ])nrctvhs leaned against a tree and lamented his lot — on which had stood his house, with no insurance on it. What had caused the left the refrigerator open. At anv rate, the Ion- ' niuht had beu ' un and he was iKniieless. ■. Ioreo cr. Hicks had predicted a cold w,i e. and e en now in antieiiiation of it the I ' iver was runnint - to kce]! itself warn). The odds seemed lii to 1 that Xqzpnrctvhs would never survive the night. The crowd dispersed, but Xqzpnrctvhs continued his lamentation. He forgot that the hours were gliding by, that the moon had risen, that nature had painted a beautiful picture as consolation for his misfortunes, and that he hadn ' t had any supper. Suddenly there was a loud crash. It came from the direction of Oxnrzrsvw ' s home. Instinctively Xqzpnr- ctvhs hastened thither. The haughty father lay upon the ground — dead. He had been struck by the car of Andre ' s balloon and had died instanth ' . (Jxnrswv and Xqzpnrctvhs were bending- over the prostrate form. Their eyes met, — a look; an embrace; a forg-iveness mutual, absolute. The moon rose very rapidly; he had overslept him- self. It was a beautiful night, and with all due solem- nitv the father of Oxnzrsvw was buried in the cemetery at Frozen Hill. K. ;. L.

Matlock and Miss Robbie Davis, both of whom are students from the ' Varsity at Austin, and tliey have estab- lished a record that will not soon be forg-otten l)y the Class of I ' Mll. The Historian feels that everyone in this class, after he has attained his deypree. will have somethinif of which he may feel proud in his future career when he looks back upon the days that he s[ient in this department of the Fniversity. We can say that we are pnnid: • ' rsL Because we were the first n-aduates under the four-year course. Second. Because we were the first students of medicine here to whom was extended the opportunity of studying- the flora of the Oleander City under the supervision of Prof. Conn L. Milburn. ' • . Because we were the first to studv the de elM],ment of the chick, and the anim.ilciiles that inhabit the waters .about (lalveston Island, iindi ' r Dr. Allen J. Smith, as professor, and Dr. .Mag-nen;it as demonstrator. luniylh. lieciuse we were the hrst to reci ' ive the benelit-. to be derived from .1 speci.il course in Sur -ical . nabiiny under such an eminent teacher .is Dr. William Keiller. Fifth. Because under Dr. Carter we received a bet- ter and more systematic course of laboratory work in Physiolojry than any of the previous classes: but here we must say that we are not selfish, ;ind we are glad to see the classes billowiiii;- us o-et still better advantag-es in this branch. It is easily seen from the above why it was necess;iry b) extend an already crowded three-year course to one of b)ur years, an l it gives us advantages not attainable at any other school in the South, nor excelled by any in the United States. We feel confident that each one of the lucky ten. the cream of the Class of -ill. as I ' rof. Cline c.-dls us, will meet here again next year as aiiplicants for graduation. The space for this history is limited and we must Ijring it to a close with many important things unsaid, and ask you to keep your eye on the Class of Naughty One. Wm. D. JoN-iiS. Hiitorian. T?

Moses H. «Mli HISTORY OF CLASS 02 THE second tim.- that the Class of 1902 is called into public notice, and it is with many siifhs and misgiving that we jreet you toward the close of this, our second year, as disciples of -Esculapius; sig-hs because of the ' busts recorded against us. and misgivings lest our tread be not loud enough to awaken the world into a realization of our importance. Last time you met us we were but Freshmen, or. as our very kind elderly brothers had it. First Year Guvs; this time you meet us as Sophomores, or • ' Second Year Gentlemen; ' and ere you read this we will have become Juniors. Last year we bore with patience the taunts and looks of scorn from those above us ; this year we have the pleasure of bestowing them on those below us. We began the bat- tle numbering fifty-four, but this year we number only thirty-seven. Of those who have dropped from our ranks, some have gone elsewhere to continue their stud- ies ; some, becoming fascinated with L ' ncle Sam. have entered his service ; and some, becoming weary in the race, have dropped out and cast their fortunes with the Freshman class, with the determination to succeed this time or bust. Our number has been increased by seven, who entered with us at the beginning of this year. Spending thirty-eight hours per week in the labora- tories and lecture rooms, and many hours every night in studv. we feel that the year has not been idled away. And then the faculty made a change in the order of the ' ' exams which threw a great amount of extra work on us, especially just before the exams came off. We ' ll never forget those exams. especially those Dr. Ran- dall and Dr. Morris gave us. Our course in Minor Surg- ery has been completed, and just at its close we learn to our sorro ' .v that Dr. McMahon can not be with us anv more. Our course in Pathology has been both interest- ing and instructive as well as hard. Our demonstra- tions in Anatomy have been interesting because Dr. Keiller puts in one of his famous stories now and then. Under Dr. Carter we have received a thorough course in Dogology and Frogology. Dr. Paine has introduced to us the subject of Obstetrics, making it interesting by adding now and then an experience of his own. This year we (those of us who pass), leave behind us Anatomy, Physiology, and that dreaded Chemistry; and it is not with tears nor sighs of regret, but with great sighs of relief. Experience has taught us all to believe heartily that no school (one or two in the North ex- cepted) can possibly give a more thorough theoretical and practical course in the above named branches. Many, many are the nights we have burned midnight oil trying to absorb something contained in those great, big text-books, and w-e trust that our knowledge may prove worth - of the patient endeavors of our lecturers and demonstrators. Our class has not yet come into any great renown, though we are sure it will if given time. We haven ' t many distinguishing features, but are noted for being the only class in school which doesn ' t hold together. Our most popular song is Rye Straw. We are also famous for our stock of nicknames, jokes, and peculiar experiences. There is Long Jim. the shortest (?) man in school; Vicb, the Dutchman; Bill ' s Pipe; ' Arry, the golfist; Diana, the book agent; Insect Jones, Uncle Billy, Columbus; Wallace, the joke cracker; Allison, famous for his tobacco tale and voyage on the Little Freddie; Bill Nye, Josh. Mose the pathologist, and Army Smith. Most any of us can tell you the time of day since Shaw- has had his auction sale. ' alc. ' alc. icd noii se mper.

Yates MIIHI CLASS HISTORY OF ' 03 N tlu- soc.ind of October, IS ' t ' t, ;, band d ' Freshmen assembled at the Medical C ' dl- eu;e, at Galveston, to take our initial steps nto the unknown field of Medicine. Wc ere ninety-three in number, the l.ir ' est ■ reshman class since ' M,. representin,!;- many counties in all parts of the State, and a few members even coming ' from neigfli- Ixiriui, ' - States. In a few days we were full-fledjj-ed Medicos, bearing- in our arms the larg-er bones of the body, and in our pockets tarsal and carpal bones. These latter some of us, to our sorrow, considered too insignificant to occupy our valuable time, but on the first intermediate it was quite forcibly shown us that it is the same here as elsewhere — the little things count. and that Dr. Flavin not only expects but demands that we know even those little bones. The Sophomores kept us in mental agon ' continually by reminding us of the large number of men who failed in every intermediate. However, they knew a few ques- tions which they said, and we believed them, had been asked for the past few years on the first intermediates in Chemistry. When we were required to appear be- fore Dr. Morris to render an account of the deeds done in chemistry, we found he had deviated from his fixed rules, and had left out those questions of which we had heard so much. I think the general con- clusion of our cla s is to attend every one of his lectures and laboratorv exercises, and learn each thorouifhlv ; •fore liini nn your m •;ami- irt of We have l)een taught the many varieties, prepara- tions, and doses of drugs by Dr. Randall. Now we know tliat to give a patient one grain of corrosive subli- mate does not contribute to his general health, but the compatibilities and solubilities are still to us unknown mysteries. Dr. Allen J. Smith has given us an excel- lent course in biology. We are also receiving from him an excellent and useful course in pathologj ' . Dr. Carter has succeeded in introducing to us, in a very interesting manner, the study of physiology. Cood in-truction in other medical branches, too numerous to mention, has also been given us. Up to the present we have stood the attack of ex- aminations pretty well, considering that we have had chemistry in our front, physiology attacking our rear guard, pathology and anatomy flanking our left, and physics of sufiicient force and energy to charge alone our right wing. Botany, biology, histology and embry- ology are merely held in reserve to cripple us — should any escape from the others. It is not strange that under such a fire there should be welded chains of friendships difficult to sever. May the Class of ' 03 go hand in hand not only through school, but all through life, ever ready to promote the welfare of each other, and finally grow into true, noble, and useful men and women. L.

At the same meetin -, by some mishap (and indeed a sad one). I was chosen Class Historian. It has been said that if one would record the lives of a few men. he would liave a c.«niiilete history of the world ; but to write the entire history of the Class of ' on it would be necessary to write that of many individuals and their acts durini, - two years, and ohi what an under- takinjj:-! It would require e ery patre in the annual, yes. volumes. Of the thirty-tw only eleven returne much desired Ph.

Harmon_ L ' very instance. n of our many difficulties, wt :le a few of the pleasant occa ag-ainst obstacles and has reigned supreme With a mere mer will endeavor to chn sions. During- our Junior year most of our time wa spent in the Pharmaceutical Laboratory, manufai turing the official preparations of the V. S. P.. tillin prescriptions written by bogus M. D. ' s, and study in crude drugs. In this connection we will long remen ber John Pace ' s experience with aconite root. Man times while w(jrking in the Ivaboratory, with nothing save the liusy rattling of the mortar and jiestle to dis- turb our ■■wandering thoughts, we have suddenly seen some one standing on the highest attainable fixture in the room, imploring us to Keep the corks in the bot- tles, Use distilled water, and Let the Tolu alone. It would be easy and indeed pleasant to cite many other incidents of our Junior year, but liehold, we are Seniors. To be Seniors is i)leasant in some respects, but. Juniors, there are stumps that you have yet to dig. During our Senior year we have had, with Dr. Morris, a double dose of chemistry, inorganic with the Sopho- more Meds and organic alone. With Prof. Cline we have had some very interesting work in the Volumetric Analysis. We have seen Dr. Randall ' s smiling face twice a week with the Meds. We have studied the great vegetable kingdom, in many of its marvelous beauties, with Prof. Milburn, and have enjoyed many pleasant days otT on botanizing trips. One of these especially will be remembered — that was our adventur- ous sail to Texas City during our Junior year; and we believe also that John Brandenburg, of the Class of ' 99, will remember well the pelting he received that day near the old flour mill. The most important part of our history is in the future. Father Time alone can reveal it. John H. Piokkins, Hislorian. Ci- x FIRST TERM C. W. CunnixCtHAm, President J. T. Holland, Vice-President F.

Itsij-routh has been rapid, and it is tn-day one of the stroni;-est orLjaiii atKins of the University. The most prospercuis periinl of its existence has been the session of ' ' ) ' and ' no. In the early part of the session we ordered thirty-six new pins. Having found that by some misfortune the old consti- tution had been destroyed, a committee was appointed which drew up a constitution that any ori;-anization would be proud of. Just before Christmas the Association yiresented to Prof. Cline a handsome gold watch chain and chai ' m. On one side was neatly engraved Presented by the P. A. U. T. of • ' •■ - •iMi; ,,n the other, R. R. D. Cline. The . ss.Kiation is not just a me all of its members take great inti meetin ' r thev ha e a number of i)a ani ation, but in it; at each ritten on in- teresting subjects, and those relating directly to the pharmacist. During its existence a number of students have come and gone: many are now jiroprietors of jiharmacies; several have cMitere.i the I ' nited States servici ' and have made recoriK f,,r themselves and for the I ' liiversity. Not only in this way has the P. A. P. T. been a bene- factor, but by bringing the Senior and .luniiu- t ' lasses in such close contact and giving to them a uni(Ui in which they can all have an equal right, thus affording protection for both and raising the standard ol our be- loved profession. The Pharmaceutical Association of the University of Texas is destined to be among t ' le first organizations in the pharmaceutical world. U. K. (i. Yell — - - — Pharmacy !

It !,n-ew out of the need of some central org-anization into whose hands should be committed questions affecting- the student body as a whole. Feeling- this need, the Council was organized, and right well has it fulfilled its jiurpose. Some of our sessions have been quite wai-m, but in the main the decisions have been for the best interests of the College. In the ])ast sessi .)n we have delilierated upon many important questions. We have oted ujion I ' niver- sity colors almost times without number, collectively and individualh ' , etc. We have secured rate.s to the University Day at the Dallas Fair [perhaps]. We have taken in hand our share in the Cacti-s. We have de- cided the Battleship question satisfactorily — to our minds at least. And so on to the end of the chapter. In fact the Council has become such an integ-ral part of us that we could scarcely dispense with it now.

Incidentally, our meetings have been giving us necessary drills in parliamentary usages and practice in ]ircsenting ideas before a body of men, things that are not provided for in the regular curriculum. The officers consist of those usually provided for in like organizations. To the president is intrusted the ])ower to call meetings w-henever any questions to be decided by the student body arise ; however, any three members, by apidicaticm to the jiresident, may have a meetin- called. Our constitution also provides for the maintenance of a college mag-azine, The University Medical, de- voted to such scientific, social, and personal matters as may be of interest to the students, alumni, and jiro- fession at large. Perhaps nothing startling will ever result from the Students Council, yet its (juiet force will be felt so lung- as the State of Texas shall have a Medical College. y ' :u v In L Dry. r fOM THfy z rfff K KATfllE THE HISTORY OF A CASE ALL ;uid erect of carrbi-c was Miss Rcj,- ister, with a curve of hip and bust that a sculptor would have delighted to perpetuate in marble, and a free, sprin fing- step, most passinjf rare in these da -s of high heels and tooth-pick shoes.

The Bone Professor almost wept with delight at the way she could locate and g-ive vascular and nerve supplies. The Adored Professor, who always carried around with him a benevolent smile, and either a pocketful ui little critters in glass jars or else an armful of enlarged portraits of the same, fairly beamed at her facility in distinguishing the different earmarks of his beloved Taeniae. The Solemn Young Professor, who knew so much he had difficulty in keeping - his head balanced, relaxed the habitual severity of his aspect sufficiently to permit of a wintry smile playing- over his countenance at the zeal with which she waded into the wholesale destruction of crockery, and grand production of startling- results, attendant upon the combination of reagents not on speaking: terms, down in the chemical laboratory. The Professor whom the Freshmen reg-arded as the per- sonification of all scientific wisdom, and who lay awake nights thinking up hard enough questions to ask on ex- aminations; and the Sarcastic Professor, apparently bent on taking- it out on the students for all he had suffered when such as they, decided to suspend judg- ment till the close of the term. But the Professor who officiated as High Priest at the slaughter of small beasts upon the altar of Science felt, when he heard her expa- tiate upon Proteids, that verily his own enthusiasm had at last found a true echo. In fact, tliere was only one Professor in the whole course before whom she |uailed, and when it came to wanting- something to hold onto in i ' s presence, she was not alone. T don ' t believe there was a single Fresh w ho would not have preferred a lengthy interview with His Satanic Majesty to a single upward g-lance of this Professor ' s keen black eyes, coupled with the mild in- (juiry, Dose? First Intermediates descended upon the majority of the students with more disastrous effects than a cyclone could have wrought; but Miss Register came throug-h them with a brilliancy equal to that of her hair. And Miss Register ' s tresses were zr y brilliant, with just the suspicion of a ripple to catch every stray beam of lightand enhancetheirbrig htness. Neverdid the locks of snaky-haired Medusawork more deadly havoc. Their victims followed each other with such swift succession it was impossible to keep count of them. One by one, Boulder watched his classmates g ravitate toward the glinting little knot twisted atop of Miss Reg-ister ' s head. It would have been impossible to have adequately ex- pressed his contempt for them, especially when, after a brief spell, they slowly gravitated back again in vari- ous stages of utter dejection. As for Miss Register, he considered her the most remarkably sulitle flirt it had ever been his luck to meet, and he wished devoutly that she would marry somebody and leave the college. For, aside from the fact that his staunchest ad- herents were beginning to desert the Anti-Petticoat Standard through her influence, she g-ave unmistak- able evidence of becoming a dangerous rival for class honors. Then one evening, to his inexpressible horror, he found himself g-azing admiringly at her bright little head. His blood ran cold at the discoverv; but worse still happened shortly afterward. One evening- he heard her remark upon the improvement in a certain youth ' s looks, occasioned by the shaving off of his maiden mus- tache. Now Boulder himself had a mustache, a shv. timid little thing ' , that imiy the tcndcrcst care and most persistent coaxinjf would temjtt to reveal itself at all. It was his darling, his pride, the apple of his eye, yet nevertheless that nigfht he found himself irresistibly drawn toward a barber shop. If Miss Reg-isternoted the sacrifice she gave no sign, but the boys were considerabh ' less reticent. Some of them even drew conclusions so perih)usly near the truth that Boulder meditated going out back of the College and kicking himself a few times, as an indication of his personal opinion of Boulder. But, inasmuch as he would fiave had some awkward explanations to make in case any spectators happened along, the idea hardly seemed a feasible one. He abandoned it in favor of leaving the demonstration room to pick up a femur on the bone table. He meant to review on it a little, but his thoughts per- sistedin takingthis trend: If I could just get achancc to explain to her . If I had just had the sense of an amoeba in the beginning, and not have . O, damn it all, anywav. ' He flung the femur down with a force that caused some Sophomores to crane in(iuirini, ' - nocks in his direction, and jamming his hat down vrr his ears, strode from the room. That afternoon he sat for an hour in the lecture room staring down at Miss Register ' s hair. He would have secured a seat beside her, but the boys had an unpleas- ant little way of spotting all such preferences and com- menting upon them quite audibly. He left the room with a vague impression that something had been said about the LeClanche cell. Then, when he noted the blank pages of his note book, he softly applied to himself all the synonyms for blooming idiot in the English language, and when that gave out he supplemented it with a few choice Franco-Spanish epithets picked up while in camp at New Orleans. As the weeks slipped by, his case became more and more confirmed. He picked up a handful of phalanges that had probably once formed the base of some big ne- gro laborer ' s hand, and they clothed themselves with rosy flesh, and became soft, delicate fingers, such as he had so often seen v.ield the dissectinij: knife with exquis- ite skill. He opened his Materia Medica and Thera- peutics and read in the place of its legitimate text: Most characteristic Symptom — a total cessation of all semblance to rationality. Its time of presentation varies according to temperament, but its eventual mani- festation in all cases is absolutely certain. Ridicule, Separation, or a Ouarrel may temporarily mitigate the attacks, but the only positive specifics are Marriage or Suicide, either of which may be regarded as rather drastic, but nothing milder is permanently efficacious. Boulder decided, to throw himself upon Miss Reg- ister ' s mercy; what the result would be he didn ' t dare to anticipate, but anyhow, if things kept up at the present rate, he would end by blowing out the scanty remnant of his brains. AH things come to him who waits — and keeps a-hustling while he is waiting. By dint of close watching and a vast expenditure of patience, he at length secured the opportunity for a tete-a-tete. She was oS by herself in a corner of the dissecting room, carefully picking over something that reminded him of that famous line, a rag, a bone, and a hank of hair, only the grisly thing on her lap was even less than that. With an eloquence born of desperation, he plunged at once into the subject that filled his mind to the exclu- sion of all else. Miss Register ' s greeny-gray eyes re- garded hira in frank amazement. Decidedly she had never thought that it would be necessary to place ii in the long list of those youths under the delusion that she possessed excellent qualifications for matrimoii} ' . I do not care to add the sin of betrai ' ed confidence to the long list already recorded against my name, so don ' t expect the details of a dissecting- room proposal. Suffice it to say that Boulder remarked at the close of the conver- sation: If you force me to accept this as your final decision — you know you have spoken my death sen- tence ! Miss Register sprang lightly to her feet, with a slight uplifting of her brows that emphasized the smile curving her red lips, and narrowing her eyes she replied sweetly: I know that you are mistaking a touch of dengue for something else, and you ' d better see Dr. S about it. I saw him examining a brand new consignment of pathological specimens a few min- utes ago, and his face was s ir i a study of undiluted ecstacy. It will be a positive sin to disturb him until his first raptures subside a little: still, as your case seems to iK ' L ' d iniiiu ' diate allfiiliiin . ' Sho c.irrrully punched her specimen down among- th ' others in llie formaline tub, and, before he could recover his wits, he heard her running- down the stairs. He g-ot home in some mysterious way. In spite of the throbbinuf pains in his head, he realized that it was all over with h im. He would write her a bitter little note next morning-, he couldn ' t collect his senses suffi- ciently for it that evening, villing her his body as a testimonial of his admiration for her devotion to science. Then he glanced at the pistol under his pillow — he would prove that she had indeed pronounced his death sentence. Far into the night he dreamed that he had walked away out on the jetties with her, and she became dizzy and clung to him for support. For one blissful instant he held her in his arms and whispered raptu- rously: My darling, my darling. Then she began to struggle violently, and he woke to find himself hug- ging his astonished room-mate, who -was indignantly demanding: What ' n the devil ' s the matter with you, man? You ' ve been squeezin ' the stuffins out cf me, and callin ' me your darling and a whole lot of other such rot for the last ten minutes! Bould er made some inco- herent explanation about having the nightmare, and flopping- over, tried to get to sleep again. Finding that impossible, he fell to picturing Miss Register ' s face when she should get his note. The idea amused him sc he burst into a laugh, which had the effect of again rous- ing his righteously incensed rot)m-mate. Jones w-as ordi- narily of an easj ' -going, almost phlegmatic disposition, but he had been wrestling with Phj ' sics all day, and practically sitting up with it all night for the best part of a week, and he was sleepy ; so that it was with wrath- ful hands that he reached for Boulder. But at the first touch he sprang up with an exclamation. Boulder ' s skin was at the temperature of a furnace, and Boulder ' s eyes were glittering. Jones got into his clothes, and fetching over a lot of compounds from the hospital, saw to it that Boulder swallowed them. Nevertheless, for many days afterward l!(iiil(K ' i- was a very sick man, out (if his head completely, and raving about Miss Register till Jones seriously thought of going over after her. The first sane thing Boulder did was to sit up in l)ed and demand: ' Firstly, had he been in delirium? Secondly, if so, had he mentioned anvone in particular? ' . nd Jones, who possessed as elastic a conscience as the average student, unhesitatingly compromised with the truth. Yes, you said Dr. C had you in a test tube trying to make a:i emulsion out of you, and that you were going to wipe up the earth with him as soon as you got out, and once or twice you condescended to cuss me out for giving you nasty medicines. ' Boulder fell back with a sigh of relief, and Jones had lurid visions of his post-mortem residence. But he consoled himself -with the reflection that most of his acquaintances would be there also, and besides, an enthusiastic chemist wouldn ' t really feel at home anywhere but in an atmosphere reek- ing with assorted fumes. Boulder left Cf)llege. Did he indeed seek out some sequestered spct t nd from thence send his soul into the great Unknown? Or, disdaining the coward ' s last ref- uge, did he bravely live out the weary remnant of his lonely, lieart-broken life? Well, not exactly either. During his convalescence it gradually dawned upon him that it would be a pity for the world to lose such an intellect as his because of a self-conceited, red-headed young vioman ' s inability to appreciate it. Next year he graduates with the highest honors from Tulane, and his daily p ' -aver is that not before then will the swish of petticoats be heard in that masculine stronghold so long and valiantly defended against theomnipresent Co-ed. As for Miss Register, she did confess to a sort of aching void sensation the day Boulder left, but being an exceedingly practical y-oung woman, she decided that it was due to the fact that she had forgotten her lunch. Inasmuch as the sensation disappeared after dinner, her diagnosis for that one was probably correct, and she has been too busy since to hunt up any new ones. E. DkBreto.x. wm THE WALL BETWEEN ' f ' C  )M)rK. N ' l ' sat with his led in tlio iviiKlow matcl and loukcil dUt U]inn the -Jty. It was ahcuit end i ten ..

' i. |;,,ndu- whiel; rant had been searching- all day turwork any win(h kind of honest work — but had found nnne. So it liad to the been for several days, and the vouni;- man was in verv I low sjiirits. As he sat ponderinti: rlo ' iniilv ujion tlic sit- shall nation he whistled sottly some old tune of the South, At and vividly arose before his mind visi ms of the happy heard home that he had forsaken away down in Dixie. wm-k Note the structure of the buildin.y;- in which he was aijain, lodg-ing: It was rectang-ular, being- a block in length and half a block in width. In the middle a solid wall divided the building into two houses, one fronting south and the other north, both being, at the time of this story, used for boarding houses, in no way connected with one another. Bondurant occupied the extreme northeast room of the third floor of the house that fronted south, so that the extreme southeast room of the third floor of the house that fronted north was next to his room, lievond the dividing wall. As the young man sat whistling and dreaming an alarm clock rang in the room beyond the wall, and after a few moments a deep voice coming from a window of that room said: ?]xcuse me for interrui)ting the music, neighbor, but can vou manage some wav to hand me a Jmidur uinbi-i ining his m scovered to dress in the da line hour on tl .ther ched even in g Vm ndui He h id n it fo UK 1 thi ik ing .f h. )mc spoke SC Mile 1 ight wiu-k yet. and was whistli again. The voice beyond th out of the window before its owner left the building. The Southern boy thought it a very pleasant voice, and wondered if his neighbor were as jolly a fellow as his voice seemed to indicate. If my neck were a foot longer, he thought, I could see him around the water-pipe. On the following day Bondurant found employment, of a very humble sort. Days and weeks passed. B(mdurant had fretjuent talks with Saunders, the man beyond the wall. The clock was set to ring earlier in the evenings, in order that the friends might talk awhile together from their respective windows before Saunders went out. Saunders was from Vermont. He had run away from home three years ago. had come to New York, and had accidentally drifted into the cigar-making liusiness. mistal c lie hail inaiK- in k-aviiiL;- ki ' pt him ill the .

Yet they needed no mutual assurance of the stron!.;est mutual reji -ard, and their confidential talks around the interven- ing ' water-pipe amply sufficed for visits. There was a fellowship of misfortune between them that dre s- them close tog-ether. Little differences on the slavery ([ues- tion. which was at that time ay-itatini;- the world, caused some heated arguments. Init did not render them less congenial, for each was a melancholy stranger in the great city, living out his days like terms of punishment, longing in his heart for the home of his boyhood, which he bad voluntarily forsaken, and which he had little hope ever to see again. But their discussions of the favorite theme, that of home, at last proved beneficial. It was late in an even- ing;- of April. ISf.ii, when the prodigals had talked togeth- er from their respective windows every evening for nine long months, ' { hex reached a decision that night, and tried in aiii to shake hands around the water-jiipe in coiilirmation of their mutual ] i-omise to cinit work the ery next clay and go each to his own home and begin l ife over. They also agreed to meet on the following afternoon ;ind bid each other farewell before starting home. Kach looked upon the other.— no, not looked upon, as they had never seen one another, — but each esteemed the otlier as his savior from ruin, and iiK.ist affectionate was the parting when Saunders left his room that night. Bonduraiit waited in vain for Saunders at the ap- pointed place of meeting. By some mistake, Saunders was waiting- for Bondurant at a different place. Failing to see Bondurant, he called at the house that faced south. Bondurant was at the same hour asking for Saunders at the house that fronted north, and so thev did not meet that day. Despairing of seeing- his friend, and being- now in a ery fever of impatience to reach home again, Bondurant left the city and turned his face toward the S.mth. Be- fore he was half way on his journey Fort Sumter was attacked and the war of the Secession had begun. I ach of the prodigals reached his home in good time, and while mingling again with the friends of his youth many were the eulog-ies that he heaped upon his faithful friend whose face he had never seen. For awhile they wrote to one another, but onlv for awhile, for the letters inii ' liiu- ln.-tw(. ' cn tlir liclliiicrciit pnwi-rs. Tlu ' lifti-oiUh thiy of I )cCL-nibiT. IS(,4.

Water — water! cried Bondurant. He had fallen with a pistol shot in his chest, and the Northern soldier who had wounded him lay at his side, his forehead crushed in by a blow from BondurantV musket. ••Ave.— just a little water! moaned a wearv voice. iMjndurant started. It was tile man at his siile who had spoken. Loudly the Southern boy ' s heart thumiied; he could not have shouted louder than it thumped. He lay still upon the y-mund and waited for stren;, ' -th to . L;-ain sjioke the voice at his side: • ' They are so sl.)w with the water! So lontr — Say. could vou hand me a little from your window?

No answer. Both forms are still and silent. No wall of separation now; no fear of parting. Dl-KKI.l. Mll.l.KU. =.a ±js ; , ' . W DAT AWFUL FIGHT De devil an ' de eagle an do mule an ' d All fell out.

The prairie breezes hum a tune They used to sing way back in June: The fields are brown with waving corn For miles and miles and miles. Hissss, — the breeze forgets the tune And flying mists arise; The swelling- wind becomes a gale. The glowing sun grows sick and pale, And veils his face in clouds, and soon Has vanislied from the skies. A drowsy village of the plain Lies dozing in the sun. From the cornfields far and near Tlie harvest chorus strikes the ear; The milkman whistles through the lanes His morning rounds begun. How cold it grows: The wind it roars. And snowflakes fly about. The milkman gives his nag the lash And through the darkened streets the.v dash. Bang! go the windows; slaml the doors To shut the weather out. Full pleasant is the day begun, And sweet the laden air. But, ah ! in Texas who can say Thus twill be, or thus, to-day? The weather changes just for fun. And that ' s the trouble there. Fast the flying snowflakes fall As a calm commences, — Drifting, eddying, whirling dowi Upon the prairie and the town. Hiding corn and hedgerows all. And picket lines and fences. eil lie the any sea: Wrapt anil mil As smooth The town is still, but in and oi The children romp with laugh The snow has ceased, and now As soft as e ' er could be.

In tlie ]iast the Society has loui -ht l. r existence: that li ' ht is finished. The stru--jiie r.irlil ' e is.ivir; the stru-o-K. for -iorv is under way. Materially we are on a b. .ni. Our friends have helped us, and we have helpe.l ..urselves. Our most notable hent-iaction eame from our friend, Mr. Kd. K ' otari, of Waco. He -ave the Society SK .with the interest on which the Athen.ium is to j urchase annually a i dld medal, ' i ' his medal is to lie awarded to the victor in an oratorical contest. In keeping- with this g-jft, our President, the Honoraljle W. L. Prather, presented the Society with a handsomely framed portrait of Mr. Rotan. And the Society of itself has raised S125, with which a carpet has been purchased. The Society hopes, more- .vi-r. l, ha e opera-ch.iirs and artistically adorned walls bef.u-e the session of I ' tdO-l ' Ml] opens. Athenaumites are lovers of the beautiful. Xe er before has such interest been manifested in Society work. Meetintfs ha e bei-n well attended, de- bates have been prepared, and duties generally ha e been performed faithfully. Add to this ener!J:y and application the brains and character which the Ath- eiiaum finds in its members, and it is no marxel that we succeed. The two debaters who g o against iiavlor are Athen;eum men; five of the six contestants for the place in the Southern Oratorical Contest are from the A ' .henaiim. The spirit of the nu-mbers is linely democratic. We are truly iiroud of our record just here. That curse tif college life, jjolitics, has never troubled us in the sli ' ' -htest degree; there are no cliques, no followings. Merit alone counts. Everyone has an opportunity to show what he can do. If he does well, he is rewarded; if he does not, he sets about to im]n-o e. and he has the hearty cociperation of his fellows back of him. I ' nder these circumstances we must succeed. We are sometimes called the Society of Dudes. This, we believe, is a compliment, implying that every member of the Athena?um is a perfect gentleman. Of our four presidents for this vear, at least three are working their way thrcuigh the University. Several innovations in the w(u-king of the Society have l)een made this year. It was found that the regu- lar routine of Society work did not afford sufficient drill in parliamentary practice. So about every month the Society resolves itself into a House of Representatives, a bill of present interest is introduced on its third read- ing, and every member is allowed to participate. At the end of an hour the debate is closed, and then the e.xcitenient commences. Motions and counter-motions are made in rapid succession. There is great glory in the tilibuster ' s victory. Again, according to the con- stitution, each member appears on the programme once every four weeks. As is usual where so many debate, se eral are absent, so it was proposed and carried that anv member may, by application to the secretary, have his name entered on any pi-ogramme. Thus, mem- bers who have time and inclination, or those who are esjiecially interested in some (|Uestion for debate, have ;in oiiiiortunitv to a] iiear whenever and as often as thev uthful a count of the Athena C(U-d, wc mvite vo u to ]oin us OFFICERS VmJ TERM C.

The first President was Miss Mig-nonette Carring-ton ; Vice-President, Lizzie R. Waggener (now Mrs. I.ar.- sing- l ' ontaine,: Recording- Secretary, May T. Smith; Corresponding ' - Secretary, Mary L. Eoonc ; Critic, Jessie Ward (nuv,- Mr... Wm. Stiles); Treasurer, Certrude Whitis; Warden, Pauline Fkishel; Assistant AVarden, Lila lielle Waggcner (now Mrs. .I..e T.tter . At this time there were forty youny: ladies in the University, and if these, twenty were sunn enrolled in the member- ship nf the Ashbel. For twelve years the Society has been p.irt if the g-irl- life of the University, and the words. if approval from the h ' aculty and of appreciation from outside friends bear witness that the work of the members has been well done. The public debates present a record of w hieh the Ashbel may be justly proud, some of them havinj;- been characterized as brilliant by competent jiidg-es. We give a list of those who have served as Presi- dent, and regret, as Historian of the Society, that limit of space forbids the -publication of the complete roster of mcmbeis. It would comprise a majority of the distinguished students and honor graduates (among the girls) of the University. Presidents: Mignonette Carrington, Jessie Vard, Alma Harris, Gertrude Whitis, Helen Beall, Lila Celle Waggener, Mary Decherd, Lelle Stone, Nina Hill, Alice Kobbin;-, Daisy Crawford, Edith Clark, Louise Brunet, Annie Uorsgard. Glennie Wilson, Xi:-;a Dohmen, lOula Hill, Blanche Neville, Mary Lou Prather, Mary Key. The name, Ashbel, adopted i.i honor of Col. Ashbel Smith, first President .f the Board of Regents, recom- mends itself as original, distinctive, and euphonious. It is a tribute to the memory (_.f a man devoted to the best intere.ts of the University, and advocate of its coeducational jilan, and one v.hose name the young womanhood (f tlie University and of Texas should not willingly suffer to be forgotten. The motto, ' ' E pukcrc ml cilni. was suggested by the University motto, and seemed appropriate to ambitious students who from the dust unto the stars may grow.

During- the term of ' 97- ' 98, ve had a membership of twenty-eight. In ' 98- 99 we numbered nineteen, while our pres- ent enrollment is twenty-six. Vhili our membership is less, yet we have a fj reater percentag-e of the students of our department as members. The average attendance this ye.-ir has been between twenty- three and twentv-five. During- the iia.st vear we have become a part of the Students ' Department of the International Com- mittee of Y. M. C. A. Our one object this year has been to exert our influence for good among fellow students, and to endeavor to lead them to Christ, and we have been g-reatly blessed in our work. What our Association needs most is a suitable place for meeting, and we hope same day t3 have one. Until we do we will continue to meet in the lower west amphitheatre, and each coming year we will work harder and more earnestly f ir the Associaticn r.nd the advancement v.i Christ ' s KIng-dom among our fellow students.

Notwithstanding- the fact that it had not been run satisfactorily to either party, the students or manag-er, the year before, we had lived in hopes of an improvement this year. Since the donor of the Hall ' s original purpose in erecting- the restaurant was to furnish the entire stu- dent body with a means of living- upon the most econom- ical basis consistent with a reasonable degree of personal comfort, it v.-as thought to be best obtained by the co- operative management by the students theniseUe-, and thus the University Hail Club was organized and began its successful career, November, Is ' i ' ). In this case, as in all others, the opposition, which, by by the way, was not the least in the world, as the Club had neither capital nor credit to go on, only made tlie exi eriment the more interesting. S: much depended on the students j ticking together, and realizing that it was a perstmal affair, so as to make due allowances for the shortcomings, that it was v.ith fear and trem- bling the first month was gone through, lest the Club meet its prophesied fate. The Club has been very very efticient set of officers, who have worio-d faithfully and unselfishly for the welfare of all and the success of the Club. They have been greatly helped in their efforts by a very com])etent matron of untiring energy, of whom it can be justly said: She hath d.me what she could. Tile Club opened with less than one hundred mem- bers, as there were not a few doubting Thomases that wanted to see the exjieriment tried before tht-y took any sto,!v; but each month brings in new members, until now it nuinl)ei-s about one hundred and thirty. Everyone seems to be very M ' ell pleased, and is hold- ing up remarkably well on the fare he receives, not- withstanding the wear and tear his constitutifin is sub- jected to in a medical school, judging from the small number of complaints received by the I-Cxecuti e Com- mittee. From a financial standpoint it hasbeen a muchgreater success than the majority of students dreamed of, since, taking the whole time into consideration, it has not aver- aged over ten dollars per month. Every student feels )rtunate in its se ;ti,mof i a pride in the success of the Club, and takes a j.ersonal interest in it, as is shown in the gentlemanly conduct .f the students while they are waiting for their meals. The success of the University Hall Club means much to the medical students, for it has shown them what they can do along that line, an l hereafter they will be able to stand on a more independent footing.

TowNF.s, Trccnun-r Clark. Scrrctai The past session has been une of unpai-alleled proir- ress and advancL-ment in tennis at ' fairs. New courts have been built and old ones have been repaired and im- proved, until we now have on the campus seven excep- tionally g-o id courts. These are all pn vided with wire back-nets strung upon iron frames, wliicli insure their durability. Nets have been placed at the command of all students. Hitherto tennis has had to struu- -lc alon- without the supiiortof anyone except a few so-called enthusiasts; in the fall the interests of tennis were sacrificed to foot- ball, and in the spring- baseball engrossed the entire at- tention of the students. But at the opening of the ses- sion just past, membershipin the TennisAssociation was given toeveryone in the ' Varsity, and immediatelv a very general interest liegan to be taken in the game — an interest which, contrary to the expectation and projihecy of many, has continued unabated throughout the year. These splendid results are due largely to the patient and persistent efforts of Prof. Ellis, and to the fact that this year tennis has. for the first time, received very material aid from the Athletic Association. The tournament which is t i be held in May will add greatly to the interest already manifest in this sport. IJut any survey of the year would be very incomplete if no mention should be made of the fact that the young ladies are beginning to show their appreciation of the benefits to their health and other advantages, which need not be mentioned, which are derived from play- in r this irame. ■s -;:! fia A ii.. . 4: ) VW% r.VV .

Once when the labor of the day had ceased, While flamed the myriad lamps of night on hiffh. 1 dreamed an heavenly messeng-er drew nigh, And straight my heavy bonds of sleep released. His words thou knowest,— when I was alone. Half fearful that the vision were not true. I took the harp, and o ' er its strings unknown Most eagerly my unskilled fingers drew; Yet strangely made no discord, and I knew That unto me was God ' s own favor shown. Her eyes are trustful As an infant ' s rest. While it sweetly dreams On the mother ' s breast. Her ej-es are tender As the tints that lie In the flushing dawn Of the eastern sk.v. Her eyes are soothing As a vesper hymn, That floats out softly In the twilight dim. Though fools may say ' tis folly to be wise. When greed and passion sway the greater part ; Yet when within your soft alluring e.ves I learn the thought of e ' en a purer heart,— No old philosophy nor precept new. Proposing pleasure in but deepe.st vice. Shall taint my soul since I have learned of you — A knowledge worthy of my sacrifice. - Tea .

Drug it, drug it, never loath to lug it, Plug it to this mellow month of June; For the sake o ' Alma Mater, where we first contrived to smug ' it. We will smug ' it ' round the fiddle out of tune.
