Editor DARWIN SCOTT BROWN | EDWARD HERMAN SCHUBERTf ' Managers ort MaV ' To Frederick Charles Hicks we gratefully dedicate this book. His devotion to high academic ideals, his scholarship and his clear vision have given him a foremost place among the master-builders of oiir University. His sympathy and understanding have established forever his place in the hearts of his students. The University FOREWORD E have tried to put within the pages of this, The Cincinnatian 191 7, the real spirit of our University. Now that our task is finished we reaHze the futihty of attempting to express such a precious and indefinable thing upon mere printed pages — that Cincinnati spirit which can live only in the hearts of her loyal sons. And so we give to you this book of memories of the times that have been, hoping that it may be a reminder of our work and play together, and one that will ever keep our hearts open to the clarion call of our Alma Mater.

[page twenty-four] The Progress of the University THE histor} ' of the University of Cincinnati is the history of an institution which has achieved unusually rapid and extensive progress. Growing out of the generous and social-spirited dream of Charles McMicken, and attracting unto itself some of the pioneer educational centers of the com- munity, it has increased in size, accomplishment, and influence, until it now enjoys the fame of the greatest municipal university of the world. Other cities are emulating Cincinnati ' s achievement but have not as yet equalled or surpassed it. It is significant that the only state whose code expressly permits cities to establish municipal universities and levy a special tax for the purpose is Ohio. The University of Cincinnati was immediately incorporated upon the passage, by the General Assembly of the state in 1870, of the act enabling cities to aid and promote education. An interesting, if less idealistic phase of such legis- lation, is the authorization by the state legislature, in 1807, of a lottery to endow an educational institution. Some tickets were sold, but the lottery did not materialize. Seven years after this unsuccessful effort, in 1814, a small group of citizens organized and established the Cincinnati-Lancaster Seminary upon the site of the present Mercantile Library Building. It was re-organized in the early thirties and the Medical and Law Schools were affiliated. The building burned in 1845 and the Law School alone survived. The Cincinnati Law School, founded in 1833, was the fourth institution of its kind in the country, those of Harvard, Yale, and the University of Virginia, alone preceding it. The will of Charles McMicken, who died in 1858, provided that the bulk of his estate, which was valued at about $1,000,000, be used to found two colleges for the education of white girls and boys. Almost one-half of the property was lost in 1860 by decision of the Supreme Court, and the remainder, insufficient for the organization of two colleges, was devoted during the next ten years to the increase of the McMicken Fund. In 1870 the University of Cincinnati was incorporated as has been mentioned, and the city issued its first University bonds in 1875. Instruction had been begun in 1874 on Franklin Street, with a small faculty of Woodward High School teachers. The first University building was that upon the site of the old McMicken homestead on Clifton Avenue. This same building has until recently been occupied by the Medical College. The next great step in the expansion of this institution was the removal to McMicken Hall in 1895, [page twenty-five] which is still the nucleus of the ever-increasing aggregate of splendid buildings in Burnet Woods. There is a considerable list of public-spirited men and women who have greatly facilitated the broadening of the University by their generous gifts. Our buildings bear several of their names. Hanna Hall, the gift of Henry Hanna, was added in 1896. Briggs Cunningham made its twin building pos- sible in 1900. Van Wormer Library was erected the following year. Despite the great internal growth of the University no buildings were added during the next ten years. The Engineering Building was completed in 1911, closely followed by the Gymnasium and the Power Plant. A bond issue was soon authorized which made possible the erection of the Stadium on Carson Field. The Chemistry Building, and the new Medical College near the City Hospital have but recently been occupied. The very latest addition is the beautifully equipped Woman ' s Building affording a gymnasium, swimming pool, and various rooms for college activities, as well as housing the Household Arts Department. Dormitories, made necessary by the great influx of out-of-town students, are next to be realized. The very recent bequest of the Baldwin estate, valued between six and seven hundred thousands of dollars, gives another opportunity for extension. ■ This splendid material growth has been accompanied, or rather preceded, by a corresponding growth in the size of the student body which now numbers over three thousand, an increase of more than four hundred per cent in the last twelve years. The University of Cincinnati has succeeded in its unceasing endeavor to serve the interests of its community, and to vitalize education by co-operation with the great centers of activity under the city control. Its development has ever been along the lines of efficiency, co-operation, and service toward the attainment of a fuller and broader life.

[page twenty-nine] The Colleges of the University THE distinction between a university and a college is one well known to students of Freshman English. The institution at the height of the educational system of Cincinnati well deserves the title of University, for it is indeed an aggregate of colleges. Perhaps the college which merits our first consideration is that of Liberal Arts, b reason both of the length of its association with the University and of the intimate character of its inter- relation with the other colleges. In 1874 the Academic Department, now the RicMicken College of Liberal Arts, came into existence on Franklin Street with a faculty of three professors and two instructors. It is now open both day and evening, affording a college education to hundreds of students. It offers courses leading to a B. A. degree as well as preparation for work in the Colleges of Teachers, Medicine, House- hold Arts, Commerce, Physical Education and Hygiene, the Hebrew Union College, and Lane Seminary. Its Department of Social Science co-operates with the Council of Social Agencies of Cincinnati. Its Department of Political Science conducts a Municipal Reference Bureau in conjunction with the City Council. The Department of Biology assists in directing school gardens, and conducts a bird reserve. The Department of Psychology directs a clinic where mentally defective children are tested upon request of parents or teachers. These are but a few of the methods by which the life of the city is used to vitalize the work of the University. The Graduate School became a separate and distinct college, with its own dean, in 1906. It offers work leading to the degrees of M. A., and Ph. D., and accepts graduates of colleges and universities other than Cincinnati, pro- vided they be of high standing. The College for Teachers was organized in 1905 under the joint manage- ment of the Board of Directors of the University and the City Board of Educa- tion. The public schools are used for the practice teaching of the students, and appointments to positions in the schools are made from a list upon which Teacher ' s College graduates receive preferment. Training for teachers of Art, Kindergarten, Physical Education, Household Arts, Playground Instruct- ors, teachers of defectives, and other special classes, is offered in connection with such institutions as the Cincinnati Art Academy and the Kindergarten Training School. This College also conducts afternoon and Saturday classes for teachers as well as professional seminars and conferences. [page thirty] The Engineering Department was organized in 1900 and became a distinct college in 1904, growing out of a professorship of Civil Engineering in the College of Liberal Arts. A regular four-year course in engineering is offered, as well as a co-operative course of five years, both training in civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical, and metallurgical engineering. The co-operative course has received a great deal of attention throughout the country and has attracted students from many parts of the continent. By this plan, the students are divided into two sections which alternate with one another in two-week periods at the University and at practical work in the machine shops and railroads, where they are subject to all the rules and labor regulations of the company for which they work. The shop work is logically arranged and carefully co- ordinated with that of the University. A minimum wage scale has been agreed upon by the firms employing co-operative students, and by it the beginner is given fifteen cents an hour the first year and an increase of one cent an hour every succeeding year. In city, railroad and traction work the students are paid according to the prevailing rate of wage. The College of Engineering has connected with it a Bureau of City Tests where any materials submitted by the College or City Purchasing Agent are examined and analyzed. The College also co-operates with the engineering, water works, street, sewer, and bridge departments of the city, as well as with traction, gas, telephone, and several railroad companies, in teaching and research work. The College of Medicine is the oldest of the University Departments. The Medical College of Ohio was founded in 1819 and incorporated into the University in 1896, to which the Clinical and Pathological School of the Cin- cinnati Hospital had been affiliated in 1887. The Miami Medical College was included in June 1909, and the department is now known as the Ohio-Miami Medical College of the University of Cincinnati. The new Medical College Building has been recently occupied. It is most advantageously situated near the extensively equipped General Hospital which was completed not long ago at a cost of about $4,000,000. The College works in conjunction with the vari- ous hospitals of the city and its graduates are appointed to interneships in them on the basis of competitive examinations. A dispensary with various clinics is also maintained by the school, the children ' s clinic, alone, supporting four branch stations which distribute milk, clothing, and other supplies for infants of poor families. The School of Nursing and Health was made a department of the College of Medicine in the summer of 1916. A group of Cincinnati women organized the Cincinnati Training School for Nurses in 1889, which was taken over by the city in 1896 and made a part of the City Hospital. Under the present system the General Hospital offers the student nurse a laboratory for the practice of nursing, as well as co-operative assistance, while the Medical and other University colleges provide the scientific instruction necessary. Both three and five-year courses are offered, leading to the diploma of graduate nurse. The Department of Hygiene and Physical Education has been organized to determine the physical condition of the University students and to provide [page thirty-one] an opportunity for and instruction in forms of physical education which will increase their efficiency as students of the University, and to train playground and physical education teachers. To the last -mentioned end both two and four-year courses are offered. All students entering the University are required to undergo physical examinations and to fill out certain blanks relative to their condition of health. The physical activities of each student are directed on the basis of this information. The department has also been very successful in stimulating attention to various phases of classroom hygiene such as temper- ature and ventilation. The College of Commerce of the University ' is largely the outgrowth of evening classes held under the auspices of the Cincinnati Chapter of the Ameri- can Institute of Banking. This Institution, established in 1906, became a part of the University in 1912. The Department endeavors to supply scientific instruction in the fundamental principles and practices of commerce with a view to increasing the efficiency of those who contemplate engaging in busi- ness or who have already entered upon such a career. To this end it offers courses in finance, accountancy and administration, commercial law, and market- ing during the late afternoon and evening hours. Through the action of the Astronomical Society the Observatory was added to the University on 1872. Its chief work is that of research but it also maintains a teaching department and furnishes the city, railroads, and engineers with accurate time, magnetic declination, geographical co-ordinates, etc. The first weather map in this country was issued here in 1869 by Prof. Cleve- land Abbe, its director, who later founded the United States Weather Bureau. The School of Household Arts was established in 1908 under the auspices of the Cincinnati Kindergarten Association and was incorporated into the University in 1914. This year it has moved into its splendidly equipped new quarters on the second and third floors of the Woman ' s Building. It offers courses in such subjects as dietetics, food economics, textiles and clothing — all necessary to the teaching or business practice of household arts and sciences. Thus it is that the University co-operates with almost every educational center of the city and co-ordinates its own work with that of the community which it serves.

It supersedes the University Club of former years. The Council consists of the four class presidents and twenty other representatives elected from the classes. The Executive Board consists of the four class presidents, together with two Senior women and one Junior woman elected from the Council. The Board meets once a week, its duties being to act for the Council when immediate action is necessary, to act as intermediary between the faculty and students, and to prepare important matters for presentation at the monthly meetings of the Council.

The arrangements made at the close of the previous year, which provided for profits, proved un- satisfactory upon further consideration. After the matter was discussed by faculty advisors and interested students, it was decided to eliminate the ele- ment of profit from University publications. An amendment to the election rules of the previous year provides for the preferential ballot in Senior elections. Other matters taken up during the year concern the various musical organi- zations, the establishment of a committee to keep in touch with the manager of the Commons, and the preparation of a new songbook. The council has secured lockers for the academic men and conducted class elections, a Student Convocation, and a Prize Day. Regulations, con- cerning the use of the buildings, etc., have been formulated and the calendar committee has acted in conjunction with the Dean of Women in scheduling Varsity functions. The financial condition of the council has enabled it to increase its activities. The profits from the Vaudeville reached a high-water mark and to these have been added receipts from successful tea dances. Thus the baseball team was given financial backing, temporary loans were made to the Prom and Minstrel Show Committees, and it is hoped that a balance will remain in the treasury. Probably the most conspicvious work of the year has been the establish- ment of the Cincinnatus Emblems. It was felt that those who serve the University do not receive sufficient tangible reward for their efforts. The council has established the custom of awarding ten to fifteen emblems annually to deserving seniors selected by a joint committee of faculty and students. The award of the emblems seeks to promote a healthy participation in college activities and to provide for recognition of such efforts. There remains the task of establishing the Activity fee upon a working basis. It is hoped that the experiment has been so successful that when the matter is presented to the students there will result a large affirmative vote. [page fifty-one] gENioRg [page fifty-two] [page fifty-three] We ' ll all hang together in dark and stormy weather, For we ' re going to see the whole show through. OUR untrained but lusty Freshman voices swelled the volume of this song four years ago. It was our first Varsity song and with pride we shouted it. Its chief est charm was its length and our pride was occa- sioned by our early mastery of its harmonies and our consequent ability to give it forth as though it belonged to us. Now, to our Senior minds and hearts, the unpretentious ditty to which we have snake-danced through four years of college life, means something far above the trivial. The words of the last two lines come to life and make us want to hang together very hard indeed. Dark and stormy are not the right adjectives to modify the weather we have enjoyed, but they supply that touch of the tragic with which we look to the end. And now that the show is nearly over, we who can truly say that we have seen it through, like to look back upon the years of bright and cheerful weather when we all hung together. With Karl Day and the fair Alice, Carolyn of the Titian tresses and Ralph Shafer in the lead we accomplished that triumph dear to Freshmen — victory in the Flag Rush. (For what we did to the Sophs see records of the Cincinnati General Hospital for the year 1913.) The next year business was slack and we gave ourselves up to earnest preparation for the glories to come. In this we were ably guided by Bayle and Dilly, who brought us safely to the Junior year. As Juniors we began to shine individually as we had always shone as a class. Tony and Dot led the Prom and it was a Prom worthy of them. Min- utes and money were entrusted to Marg and Carroll. Cliff gave us a Cincin- natian to be proud of. Truly, the bright particular stars of the year are too numerous to mention in one condensed history. (See University Catalogue for 1916, list of Juniors, pages 295-298.) And now our Senior year has come and is almost over. Jim Pease and Helen Wright, with Syb and Gene to second them, have proven efficient organizers of our final work and play. Our work has been more serious than ever before and our play more light-hearted, because we have carefully learned that bal- ance which will be essential to our equilibrium after we leave our Alma Mater. Gayly we hopped at the Senior Hop, and gladly we gave to the newest class the prize for ingenuity of decoration which had been ours for three years. One of the highest individual honors that has come to any of us is the Rhodes Scholarship awarded to Elmer Van Fleet. Looking forward with a little of awe to graduation and the conferring of degrees just ahead of us, we realize that if tomorrow is to be a day of hope, today must be a day of thought. Of course, thought of the present and for the future is what is expected of us, but we need and like to preface it with a little thought of the past. We can gather up evidence of what this University has meant to us, and when we go to join the Alumni of Cincinnati, we shall be ready to sing with them a new and fuller meaning into our Freshman song of fellowship.

[page seventy-eight] JUNIORS JUNIORS, yes — but borrow George ' s feather duster and revert to the past, to those Freshman days when T. Baehr used no less formidable weapons, from the janitorial mob artillery, in drilling the boys in the lower corridor; and when Pat Lyon led our six hundred and fifty-seven dynamic voices in pow-wows. Despite our unwieldy numbers, we were soon subdued and orderly Fresh- men — the girls kept out of mischief by noontime dances in the girls ' room — the men through the effective efforts of the Vigilance Committee. Of prime importance was the installation of the Woman ' s Vigilance Committee. No doubt jealousy of the upper classes prompted their exercise of judicous control. Under the guidance of Arthur Osborne, with Betty Crawford as Vice-Presi- dent, Henry Nagel, Secretary, not to mention our highly individual Treasurer — Cherry Fisher, we sailed peacefully from the past to the imperfect time, somewhat reduced by the selective processes known as English I and Chemistry. We humbly plodded our Sophomore path with Doc Rogatzky as Presi- dent, Leslie Williams, Vice-President, Mary Corre, Secretary, and Bob [Mayer assuming the arduous Treasurership. No less than seven of the fifteen C ' s, that year, were awarded to Sophomores. Having emerged from this imperfect period, the present tells of our active participation in every field. In swimming, our men have upheld their repu- tation for athletic skill. The girls won a glorious victor} ' over their Senior sisters. The Prom is still an event of the future. A full list of our accom- plishments would be entirely too long for this limited space, and besides, deeds in catalog with the gilt rubbed off grow monotonous. Our able leaders for this, our Junior year, were Bill Talcott, President; Helen Sammet, Vice- President; Vivien Millar, Secretary, and now having evolved through the all- too-fugitive present we are entering the future perfect to which celestial state, as Seniors we will .surely attain. [page eighty -one] gOPHOMORES Their Ancient, Mediaeval and Modern History ANCIENT — Long, long ago, before there was Light, in different parts of the earth, a few far-seeing men and women saw a vision and began to prepare themselves for the time to come, when they should band together and give to the world this Light which it so needed and they realized that it was to be their task to raise Humanity from its ignorance. So for four years they studied and became efficient in things gymnastic and at the end of that time great tests were made and the mightiest of the race were selected to convene on McMicken Hill the next autumn to enlighten the struggling world. Historians disagree upon this point, but this place was probably chosen because it was there that knowledge was most needed. MEDIAEVAL— The coming of the Freshmen to McMicken Hill in the year 1915 marks the beginning of a new era in the world ' s histor} the period of the Renaissance, an awakening of man to greater things, and its importance cannot be overemphasized. On September 16th, the Freshman band quietly climbed the hill and were received by the natives who were holding a peculiar kind of service which they called Registration and in which the newcomers gladly joined, lest they offend. They feared that it might incur the wrath which they were not pre- pared to meet as on e of their strongest legions, the Co-operative Engineers, had not come with them. When they arrived two days later, the band met together and chose their leader, Walter Haehnle, and his aides, Margaret Green (whose very name made her appropriate for the position), Mary Patterson and John Whitely. It was but a few days before the antagonism of the natives began to mani- fest itself. This was evidenced by the rules which they placed upon the Fresh- men — governing their manner of dress, their habits and even the manner in which they should partake of their food. The following from an old chronicle is the account of a peculiar kind of hat which the men were commanded to wear: — they were of the shape of a concave pie, sliced for serving, the seg- ments alternating between bright red and somber black. They were of one size and of fit there was none [page eighty-five] War was inevitable and on the first day of October, the Freshmen met the Sophomores, as one phalanx of the natives was called, on the plain at the foot of the hill. There the former gained a glorious victory. After a second defeat a month later, when the Freshmen won the Annual Contest, the natives showed a more friendly spirit, and sought conciliation by honoring the new- comers with a Reception. Soon after they dispersed with the rules which had been so indiscreetly imposed. A period of settlement followed. The Freshmen, in the most prominent places, taught the conquered their manners and customs and enjoyed many gatherings among themselves. On one occasion they gave a dance at a near-by place called The Mansion. They were kind to the natives (so-called upper- classmen ), and presented them with a gift for the new Woman ' s Building, then in process of construction . But greater than material gift was the spirit- ual influence exerted by them. Thus we come to the third epoch in their history, finding the two tribes living in harmony together, and the natives, at last, prepared for the great awakening which was to come to them the following year. MODERN — Another convocation was called in September, 1916 and only two hundred and seventy-seven of the original five hundred and thirty-one remained. However, thirty-eight new members had joined the band and in order that the will of all might be shown, another leader was chosen, Ed Powers, and his aides Robert Todd, Anna Stevens and Dorothy Cone. Peace reigned and they gave themselves more to social affairs. From time to time they celebrated with tea dances. Their name has been changed to Sophomore and while they have been accused of supplying the language with an adjective whose connotation is not altogether pleasant — sophomoric — it is somewhat justifiable as their sovereignity on McMicken Hill is indisputable and time will bring glory. [page eighty-six] W4444 |]eten f Kocf SEPTEMBER 21, 1916, and behold! we came, the Freshmen! Little knowing what waited, we were a happy crowd. Crowd, did I say? A perfect mob, in fact, two hundred and ninety-seven of us. Freshmen here and Freshmen there and Freshmen everywhere. Interested upper-classmen looked after various important details of our welfare, such as registering, being advised, and joining the Woman ' s League. We went home, still happy, and convinced that the University was a jolly place where everyone treated Fresh- men and Seniors alike. But oh, on Monday! Our humiliation began with the buying of green buttons for the women and hideous little caps for the men. Joy be unto the Freshman who could look handsome in one of those caps! Hard-hearted Vigilantssaw to it that we did not wear our hats to classes, that we did not eat at their sanctum sanctorums, and that we regarded their slightest whims. ' Twas a gay life! We experienced such thrills as being defeated b} ' the Sophomores in the mat rush, going to convocation, and parking machines, that any of us might possess, behind McMicken. At times some of us were frisky and committed unheard-of atrocities. One man was found wearing gray gloves while the weather was still warm, and some witnesses declare that they saw a pair of red spats worn by a Freshwoman. But such outbursts as these were due, no doubt, to a superfluity of the pep which the Freshmen showed on all occasions; for who could see the Fresh snake dances at the foot- ball games, hear the cheering, go to the pow-wows, and then have the heart to say that the Freshmen have no pep Things moved along smoothly for awhile. We elected our class officers, Dick Griffin, Dorothy Sisson, Esther Sechrist, and Donald Patterson. When we had attended to this, we began to realize that books were a rather necessary part of university life. Weekly quizzes stared us in the face, our thirty-three premedics looked careworn from their two sciences, and our one hundred and ninety-three Co-ops appeared less often in the Commons, except, of course, the gay ones, who can talk to the ladies and build bridges, too. At the Fresh- man trials we repented our sins, did penance, and then considered ourselves free from all homage. At last we feel as though we had the privilege of existing. When the second semester began, there were, for some unknown reason, a number of vacant seats in the classrooms. However, mourn as we may for our departed comrades, we cannot devote the entire time to grief, but must continue to write grisly things for English L bisect bugs, germs and rocks, and consider ourselves blessed in so doing.

Something true blue characterizes the spirit of every Blue Hydra; as Dr. Benedict says: Once a Blue Hydra, always a Blue Hydra. The membership this year has been large, and of it a great percentage is active in the work of the society. The plan for the program has been based on the review of current magazines and newspapers. At the meetings, (which are held bi-monthly) several short reports are given summarizing the material in some article of biological interest. One very notable achievement of Blue Hydra this winter was the bringing of the Mawson Antarctic Pictures to Cincinnati. Blue Hydra made possible in Cincinnati the presentation of these world-famous pictures. Two performances were given and these with such success that the proceeds were sufficient to aid in the campaign to Save the Cincin- nati Zoological Garden, besides gaining a sum for pictures to be hung in the rooms of the biology departments. Blue Hydra recently erected a bronze tablet in the corridor of the Botany Building in memory of one of its former presidents, John Franklin, of the class of 1915. The stimulus for accomplishment in the society is found in Dr. Benedict, the founder and patron-saint of Blue Hydra. He is always on hand to aid and co-operate with its aims, and is a true friend of every Blue Hydra.

During the past year we have endeavored, always to uphold our motto of Service to all regardless of Creed, Class or Social position. We have attempted to encourage Christian Fellowship among the men of the University. To accomplish this end we have organ- ized Bible Study Groups where men can meet for study and fellowship. Our weekly meetings have been of a devotional nature and were addressed by business and professional men. A series of special meetings were held on November 26th to 29th. The general theme for these meetings was A Life or a Living. Mr. Clinton Wunder (President of the Class of 1914 U. of C.) addressed these meetings and was assisted by Mr. John Bjelke and Mr. Hoehler. On each Thursday in March the Rev. Seeley K. Tompkins spoke on special subjects relating to Christian Fundamentals. The University Y has twice during the year entertained the High School boys of the city and near-by communities. Early in the College year the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. jointly entertained the Students and Faculty at a Get Wise Meeting. A special program of speakers was presented and our guests were served with a buffet luncheon. Our handbook published in September was an innovation and we feel a very successful one. Our efforts were well repaid by the splendid appreciation shown. The Executive Secretary has helped to promote social and athletic activities at the University. On the outside he has engaged in as many civic and religious activities as his time would permit. We feel that the year ' s work has been well worth while and extend to all our friends genuine appreciation of their helpful efforts. Y. M. C. A. Cabinet Anton W. Schneider President Wm.

Immediate success and support from prominent men encouraged Alpha Chapter, then known as Phi Psi Kappa, to unite with a similar organization at the University of Denver. Since then her growth has been rapid and flourishing chapters are now located in the best commerce schools of the country. Eta Chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi was founded at Cincinnati, May 24, 1914.

Karl Hetsch Liberal Arts College Parke Smith Medical College [page two hundred and twenty-nine] Dr. Jesse Fiering Williams Physical Education for University Men and Women ' T HAT significant epigram of Wendell Phillips ' to be as good as our fathers, we must be better, indicates the responsibility that should come to every man and woman who shares in the wonderful opportunities of the University of Cincinnati. The biological inheritance that is ours must be at least preserved and, because of the improved opportunity that is ours of living intelligently and finely, it is not too much to expect that this generation in the University should be better than the past. There are signs, however, that physical fitness and efficiency are not at their maximum in University men and women. It is impor- tant to us that to a greater extent there is physical unfitness in the general public. During the past year over fifty per cent of the men examined by U. S. army officers were unfit for military service, and in this year ' s examination of freshmen men and women there is a large percentage with weak feet, diseased teeth and [page two hundred and thirty] tonsils, defective vision, poor muscular development, unstable nervous systems and inefficient posture. These facts point to a certain definite responsibility. The students of this University must avail themselves of the opportunities for preserving and improving their vigor and health. The Department of Hygiene and Physical Education is attempting by exami- nations, conferences, practise classes, athletics and lectures, to bring to our stu- dent body the advice, the training, the inspiration that will help toward achieving an efficient and vigorous life. Beyond that it cannot go. Health, strength and happiness, or their opposites, come as by-products in living, and only by our students having an ideal that it is worthy, and persistently reaching toward it, can they grasp the goal. It is not too much to expect that some day a university will produce types of men and women who will represent the ideal in body and mind. This may very well be a student body that is essen- tially keen in mind, sympathetic and forceful in spirit and fundamentally vigorous in body. Such a student body would set the standard in all matters relating to living. In such a time, styles of dress, habits of play and work, attitudes of mind, would be definitely related to a wholesome self-expression. Then it would be impossible to see articles of dress that today are definitely impairing health and physical fitness; there would be fewer nervous breakdowns and seniors would graduate from the University stronger in mind and body than when they entered as freshmen; and the body would be the servant of a mind, trained to act, and showing abundant satisfaction in life. I would invite you, then, to use this department. The equipment and the in- structors are at your command. Bring to this University Life Laboratory the best and purest material you have in body, mind and spirit. Provide a safe control and record the results of the experiment. This task requires fortitude and courage and achieves life. JESSE FIERING WILLIAMS, M. D. Director of Physical Education.

With this in view, the followers of football at the Uni- versity felt that only an exceptional coach could measure up to the job of transforming a squad of inexperienced men into a unified machine. The man to whom this task was presented never murmured at the magnitude of what was before him, but on the contrary encouraged his men in their work and gave them a thorough training to combat their inexperience. In one, small of stature, big of heart, sound of morals, cool of head and philosophical by nature, we feel that we have found the man who will bridge over, in the history of football, the chasm into which our team has fallen. To Coach Cortright, the man of the hour, all varsity is grateful for his excellent spirit and his unselfish service. [page two hundred and thirty-six] TN reviewing the past year of athletics at the Universit} — my first 3 ' ear — I find little to regret. While disappointments proved the rule, rather than the exception — I feel the groundwork has been laid for a happier and more consistent future. I hope the Athletic department has the confidence of the Faculty, the Alumni and Students, which is so necessary for its success. The University is unlike any other school in the country, but as others have their problems in athletics to solve, we have ours, and I feel these are slowly but nevertheless definitely being taken care of one at a time. If I did not believe these things true and have good reason to think so, I could not look optimistically toward the future as I do at present. There is perfect harmony between all departments — which is necessary if the University athletics are to develop and grow in a healthj manner. A premium is placed on the athlete who is a good student. To the student body as a whole I wish to express the sincere appreciation of the Athletic Board as well as that of the football squad and myself, for the loyal manner in which they have followed the fortunes of the team. While the lack of experience last fall cost us victories, the willingness to fight it out in the face of sure defeat showed a spirit lacking in man} ' a better team and augurs ill for many an opponent in the future. The fact that the majority of the football and basket-ball men are under- classmen gives us excellent grounds to expect far superior performances from these man in the future. The Freshman class has already shown many men of promise who have been ably coached by Mr. Orr. The new Athletic Board and the new members of the Ph3 ' -sical Education department, of which Dr. Williams is head, have all been working in perfect unity throughout the year, trying to place the University of Cincinnati on a higher and better athletic level, consistent with the high educational standing already established, and I feel we can advance a long way in a comparatively short time if we get our heads together, as the teams do on the field, often enough, and look for a steady, consistent growth rather than any phenominal rise.

He played a star game against Wittenberg, but was laid up for most of the other games with an injured knee. If loyalty and enthusiasm alone could have won victories, Dusty would have beaten all the games from the bench. ASA BUTTERFIELD, R. E., R. T., Cincinnati, Ohio. Ase could be depended upon to get the ball out of dangerous territory, by the magic of his toe. His punting was excellent and all the more creditable because he was behind a line that made a quick getaway impera- tive. In the Miami game, he came to his own and played like a devil wagon with pandemonium attachment. HOWARD JUSTICE, R. E., Covington, Kentucky. Despite Howard ' s frequent absence from town, on account of work, he showed a good brand of football. He was one of the best tacklers on the team and an excellent defensive player. HENRY CHAPMAN, R. T., Cincinnati, Ohio. Chappie is our next year ' s captain, and has richly earned the honor. Although this was only his second year of football, he was the wheel-horse of the team and one of the most popular men on the field. A broken hand made him an unwilling bench warmer for two games, but he was back in the line against Miami, and, to borrow his own phrase, fought like the devil, although outweighed, as usual, twenty to thirty pounds. WILLIAM CROAKE, R. G., Cincinnati, Ohio. Bill, like man another U. C. man, gave away forty or fifty pounds to his man, and then proceeded to give him a rather uncomfortable time to boot. He was always an aggressive, scrappy, intelligent player, partic- ularly valuable in spilling the secondary defence. WELLSLAKE MORSE, R. G., C, Pasadena, California. Welley is a good example of what four years of hard work will do in developing a football player. He was a loyal member of the team from the word go, and proved a valuable asset at center. CLIFFORD GREGG, C, Cincinnati, Ohio. Cliff, our steady, reliable old center was invaluable to the team by by virtue of his excellent passing. Whenever there was any hard work to be done, he was there with the proper tools. His loyalty was shown bj the fact that he kept in training during his shoulder injury so as to be in shape for the Miami game. WALTER HAEHNLE, C, L. T., Cincinnati, Ohio. Although this was Walt ' s first year of college football, he was good enough to be shifted along the line from tackle to tackle. After Gregg ' s injury, he showed decided ability at center. He has proved a willing worker, and exhibited enough good points to be a real star next year. [page two hundred and forty-one] HAROLD TALCOTT, L. G., Lanesboro, Mass. Bill showed good football until a broken ankle benched him. His loss materially injured the line and was hard to repair, but his loyalty did not run out of his ankle, for he was on hand the rest of the season to cheer on the team. MILFORD DAVIS, L. T., Blackstone, 111. Muff watched the first two games from the grandstand, and then decided, in his philosophical but practical way, that U. C. was welcome to his hundred and fifty odd pounds, such as they were. U. C. tried them out against men forty and fifty pounds heavier and found nothing to be ashamed of. Davis showed a snappy, aggressive game thoughout the sea- son, and there was not a better liked, more dependable, more unassuming man on the field. ELWOOD HAAS, L. T. Dayton, Ohio. This was Snowflake ' s first experience at football, but he did not melt away — he developed. Although he was handicapped by working in Dayton, he learned the game fast, and played like a star against Miami. EDWARD AMES, Q., Cincinnati, Ohio. Ned was a hog for punts. The grandstanders gave a sigh of relief when one approached his embrace, for they knew it would be caught and squirmed forward several yards. He was also a deadly tackier and never happier than when cutting down some two-hundred pounder. FREDERICK HEINOLD, Q., Cmcinnati, Ohio. Red was always true to the color of his thatch, and played a consist- ently scrappy game, although a dislocated elbow, incurred early in the season, kept him out of much of the fun. He was always fast with the ball, and should develop into a real drop-kicker next fall. ARCH McCartney, L. H., Cincinnati, Ohio. Arch ' s nickname in high school was the wild Irishman and his U. C. teammates can testify that he has not been tamed. He proved himself a tackier sure, and a fast runner with the ball, and with a little more experience he will come into his own with a capital O. ALFRED WENZEL, F. B., Cmcinnati, Ohio. Even if Buck had been a prism, he could not have shown a yellow streak. In spite of a rebellious cartillage in his back, he took a little ninety yard gambol with the pig in the Wittenberg game, to the edification of his teammates, opponents and grandstand. He was ever a willing, loyal, and dependable member of the team. CAMPBELL JACKSON, R. H., Detroit, Mich. Jack was another non-resident who made good in spite of absence from practice on account of work. He was one of the fastest, most slippery men on the team, and a born tackier and ground gainer. A peevish ankle tried to keep him out of football society, but like an up-to-date parent, he took the thing back to scrimmage and taught it a few fine points of the game.

This was true, not in point of games won, for the percentage of victories was low, but with regard to the development of material and the style of game played. Contrasting the condition of the team after last year ' s disastrous season, with our present possibilities, the gain is at once apparent. Of the eleven men who played regularly this winter, nine will return. Two of these, Patterson and Justice are the equal of any men who have graced Cincinnati ' s floor in the past. Patterson ' s play, in particular, developed re- markably during the season ' s progress; his later work was easily of all-state caliber. With brainy coaching, an original and effective style of play was perfected. A strong defense, with five men in the back court, fast and accurate passing, and an ability to advance the ball close to the goal, were marked improvements over last year ' s work. It is significant of the team ' s development that, in the latter half of the sea- son, the strongest Conference squads found it an aggressive, dangerous oppo- nent. Patterson, Geis, Goldman, Haas, Jones, Fitzgerald, and Bauer played their first college basket-ball this year. Justice, Brown, Lewis, Hachen and Geenberg were the team ' s veterans, Geenberg having plaj ' ed first in 1915.

The indoor season gave almost no promise, due to the fact that several of the veterans did not go into training until the opening of the outdoor season. The first meet was the most difficult. Ohio State appeared on Carson Field for the first time in years and won the meet by a score of 85 J — 31J . On May 13, the team took a trip to Delaware. The chances for winning were brilliant, but were missed when at the last minute the team was deprived of the service of Margraf , half-miler, and of Justice, weights. Both of these men were sure point winners and their absence was keenly felt in the score of 71-46. The last dual meet of the season was with Miami on Carson Field and proved to be a walk-away for King Brodbeck ' s war horses. Captain Tommy Rodgers lowered the track record for the quarter mile to 50 3-5 seconds, and Rypins, not to be outdone, lowered the record for the two mile by 9 2-5 seconds, making it 10 minutes 20 seconds. The final meet was the Big Six at Columbus. Here Rodgers duplicated his record and equaled the state record for the 440-yard dash, completing the circuit in 49 4-5 seconds. Lockwood showed up well in the hurdles and Lutz and Ahlers in the high jump. The relay team established a new record of 3 minutes 28 3-5 seconds. Although not ribbon winners, the team profited greatly by the year ' s experience. The team of 1917 should profit by this experience and show up in a much better position in the percentage column.

Northwestern followed with a 52-15 defeat; but our fish found some crumbs in the North Cincinnati Turnverein whom they defeated 37-30.

The movement to re-establish the national sport was initiated by the student body itself. Owing to a lack of funds the Athletic Council was unable to sponsor a baseball team for this year. Accord- ingly subscriptions were taken up among the students to finance a representa- tive team. In addition, the Student Council voted fifty dollars to assist the management. Prospects for a successful season are very good. There is a large amount of excellent material on hand. A number of first-class players are in the Liberal Arts and Engineering Colleges, with several also registered in the Medical College. An unusually large number of outfielders, catchers, and first basemen appeared among the candidates. Under the coaching of Dr. Williams it is hoped that Cincy will have more than the average college team. It is difficult to build up in one season a win- ning combination of men who have never played together. Still if the men continue their present form, Cincinnati will make a good showing during the season of 1917. Games have been arranged with Ad:iami (2), Ohio University, Oberlin, - Marietta, St. Xavier, and the L. B. Harrisons. [page two hundred and sixty-two] Wrestling Team 1 TOST of the wrestling season is still before us. Meets are pending with - -■- Christ Church and the Covington Y. M. C. A. There is also a possi- bility that Coach Hoehler may obtain a meet with the University of Pittsburgh. Two meets were held with the Covington Y. l. C. A., the first was won by U.

Brunhoff Schreck Michael Stark IRLS athletics were severely handicapped hy the fact that the girls ' gym ■ was not ready until February, and the men ' s gym was not available. Consequently, active work did not start until the beginning of the second semester, and it required some time to organize teams. While the weather permitted, hockey was the main interest. This was the initial year for hockey at the University, but excellent material was devel- oped, and it is hoped that in the near future a Varsity team will be organized and an inter-collegiate schedule adopted. Another innovation was baseball. The girls ' interest in this sport was shown in the Freshman-Sophomore contest. Inter-class schedules are being arranged, and a series of these games will then decide the Varsity championship. Swimming is more a matter of the past than of the present. Last year the Indianapolis Turnverein twice defeated our mermaids, but with considerable difficulty. Each race was hotly contested. The Indianapolis meet and a meet with Northwestern University ' were to be the annual events. The late opening of the Woman ' s Building prevented the carr ang out of these plans. Basket-ball has fared better than the other woman ' s sports. Practice was deferred until the middle of February. After three weeks of practice with the new rules (girls ' rules having been substituted for men ' s rules played by the championship team of 1915-16), our squad journeyed to Louisville where they were defeated (32-18) by the perfect teamwork of the Kentuckj quintette. The return game played at Cincinnati resulted in a victory for Varsity, score 22 to 13. [page two hundred and sixty-nine] Hockey Squad J MM W k K V. i « « V j ffi SrftB; J 4 , Y % 1 MJSi wKr9.

Lutz, R. H. Richardson, Q. Huss, R. G. Haehnle, R. E. Schneider, L. G. Scharer, R. T. A S the golden sun sank in resplendent ■ glory behind the heavenward, (pointing toward the Cross-Town car- line), the stury warriors of the Boiler- makers gang tripped blithely down upon the trodden gridiron. Whistle — Bang!! — Cuckoo! bawled the drunken spectators (drunk on enthusiastic spirits for the coming con- flict) under the leadership of Charlie Hetsch our noble supporter, called garter for short. Shyly, ducking behind intervening rocks, the freshman Orrlets snuck upon old man Carson ' s back lot. Smiling sickly, they anticipated the coming fray. Referee Altamer staggered upon the field and blew his breath, I mean his whistle! Then he shouted to the frosh. Hey! youse kids! you better get some signals. Dusty was laboring under the delusion that a football team needs signals. Don ' t we know! [page two hundred and ninety-nine] Freshmen Not enuf room for the list. We must say that the Frosh were ably assisted by Paddle Orr. Referee and Umpire Altamer Timekeeper and Water Boy, Sadler and Margraf With machinelike precision the boiler- makers toddled through their signals. Only ten guys. Hence they borrowed an Orrlet. Thereupon Altamer ap- proached and addressed the boiler- maker captain (?). Youse guys kick off to the Frosh! Whence a free-for-all fight began among the riviters to decide who should be so highly honored. Lewis won in a knock- down in the first round. He then placed his mighty right toe (size 15), upon a level with Brickley and Mahan, then he booted the pigskin seventy-five yards. The Frosh ran the ball from behind their own goal to the twenty- yard line, where they were met by the sheet-iron avalanche of the boiler- makers ' onslaught. Orr paddled through for five yards. Rover roved for first down. The whistle failed to stop him but being an obedient hound, he answered his master ' s call. By successive bits of ■to be pb otogmphed bucks, the Frosh carried, squirmed, and fumbled the ball to the Boiler-makers ' thirty-yard line. Here aerial navi- gation failed. Rover was hounded by Conn, L. E. At this juncture Y. W. C. A. staggered upon the field shouting Hey! is this a private fight or can any one get in it? The game was stopped and by majority vote, he was admitted. Don ' t youse ginks wear no head guards? I got one I ' hooked ' from Penn State with me! !!? !,. Boilermakers ball on their own twenty-yard line. Our Fred strikes up the good old hymn Now brother do not fumble, and the fight was on again. ' Lutz, you play quarter- Duke R. back. Lutz — Aw — I don ' t wanna! I played Half on Wyoming High School scrub team, an ' anyhow I don ' t know what to say when I play quarter. Duke R. — You win! Signals. Ball is advanced to the thirty-yard line. Game delayed, pipe - fitters in general row. Above the din of battle, Lutz and Lange piped We wanna carry the ball! Duke R. — Well! go to it. Lange tries it, Orr wangs him on the cork and puts his foot to sleep. Aerial route then opened — Richardson to Hoehler for twenty yards and a touchdown. Frosh — No fair! We know him! That Fred Hoehler! Whereupon Lewis (chr. of Y religious meetings) fills the air with vile language. Frosh kick off to Kemp who follows with a brilliant thirty-yard fox trot. Aerial route then tried. Frosh inter- cept, Loehman grabs the pill and goes ten yards. Lewis Hey you geezer, cut that out or I ' ll have you up before the Vigilance Committee. Whereupon Loehman fumbled on the next play, smiling sweetly at the Vig boys. (First half ends) B. M., 6— Frosh, 0. Second half begins with great vio- lence. Frosh kick off to Lewis, who was downed in his tracks. Lange, whose foot had awakened at last, used it to good advantage for fifteen yards, [page three hundred and one] Richards then carried the ball for ten yards, whereupon, Orr came in with a mighty rush and made the one brilliant play for the Frosh. Duke R. (coming to) — Whoinel let in the steam roller. Orr (rolling his goo-goos) — Oh, see the pretty pink grasshoppers, with baby-blue tails. Tell my nurse to call me early. Darkness comes on apace. The game is resumed with ever-increasing fervor. So fierce and fell became the Frosh that Darby, the huge, ungainly, hay- footed lop, who languished at right tackle, threatened to nip Doc Rogatzky, the Siberian refugee. Doc R.— Fve got a good set of teeth and I ' ll bite your ear off if you don ' t lemme go. At this junc- ture the filers opened up a combined sub- marine and aerial attack, but by some mistake, Lewis, the snapper back on the squad, picked one out of the ozone for a touchdown. The battle waxed heated. The Frosh kicked as usual about the score, so the ball was put in play on the forty-yard line. However, the next play spilled the beans, for Duke R. made a forty-yard pass to Conn, L. E. and the ball was behind the goal again. At this point the whole faculty of the Dept of Physical Ed., accompanied by Schmidty, crowded upon the field and, being fearful lest the children would be kicked by the hardened boilermaker warriors, stopped the game. Score, B. M. 12— Frosh, 0. There is a young fusser, John Petzhold, Who thinks he ' s a sure enuf beau! He rushes the women like fury, mg But they really can ' t see him vou ' kneau! Our Freddy After the Game O. N. E? There once came a Freshman to U. C, Now listen my friends as I sing, For this is right straight from the shoulder, This guy was the regular thing. The Sigs or specifically Ed Shields, Decided to rush him, by gosh! So at Rdeck ' s he prepared a big party And tanked up this poor little Frosh. Our Freshman looked good to the Phi Belts, Who started their tactics full sway. But cabbage and peaches don ' t blend, boys! This Frosh could not see it their way. The Beta ' s then spotted this Freshman And asked him to come out and sup, But all the grub that they fed him Was a drink from their tin loving cup. One fine night he went out with the Sig Alph ' s, Who boosted their fraternity But after he met Miller Outcalt He said, This is too much for me. The Delts asked him over to dinner And nothing forsooth went alack. Until that young elephant Downey Dropped a hot plate of hash down his back. The Pi Kaps then grabbed up this Freshman And had him to lunch, so they say. But when asked where he ' d eaten, he answered : At a branch of the Y. M. C. A. The rushing continued like fury And at last came Registration day. As soon as he paid out his money This Frosh was kidnapped away. The next time he came on the campus A pledge button shone on his coat. But just why he put on this button Has gotten ' most every one ' s goat. Isn ' t He the Sweet Child, Tho? His cheeks are red and rosy and he drives his motor car, He ' s the pride and joy of the Freshman Class, the sweetest one by far. His laugh is quite contagious and his face is never gloomy. Of course you know the dear young thing; his name is Marvin Duhme. Now Douglas is his bosom friend and loves him like a brother, To every dance upon the hill they follow one-another, Their motto is, We never pay, of crimes this is the worst. And so they ' re missed at many a dance, if the door-man sees them first. Help! Little Alice Tomassene, A nifty little Tri Delt Queene, Who fools the men, is what I meane, But listen, boys, why be so keene? Why rush this Freshman like a fiende? She has a smile and this I deeme Is all that I have ever scene To little Alice Tomassene. Here It Is! You pick on Alice Tomassene? Upon my word! I think you ' re meane. She is the dearest little queene In any class that I have seene. I guess just why you vent your spleene Sour Grapes the reason is I meane Your company could not be seene By little Alice Tomassene! Heavings! You know that young Freshman named Rover Who chases June Bancroft all over? Well, woe be the day That Al comes his way. They ' ll lay him out under the clover. M. Outcalt — Say, Frosh! How did you get through in Chem? Lowell — Well, Fry did his best to give me H but the nearest he could get was F. An Epitaph He talked to women every day. And wouldn ' t wear his cap, they say. But from our midst his soul has past, A paddle warmed his breeches last. [page three hundred and two] NEWS ITEM. Chairman of the Vigilance Com- mittee Tries to Sell Freshmen Cap to Physics Prof. VyHILE the Chairman of the Vigi- lance Committee was busy retail- ing caps to his Frosh charges, one short blond young man of bashful mien walked timidly by the counter. Hey, you Frosh, invest in an Awning, urged the C. V. C. The blond young man smiled sweetly and walked on more slowly. Come back here yelled the C. V. C, very wrathy that a Fresh- man should ignore him in such a man- ner, come back here or we ' ll come after you. The B. Y. M., evidently impressed, moved rapidly over to F. K. H., of Y. M. C. A. fame, and whispered violently in his left ear. Whereupon, said F. K. H. approached the Chair- man of the Vigilance Committee and blushingly explained that the B. Y. M. was none other than Dr. Waterman, the new Physics Prof. Very much chagrined, the C. V. C. looked wildly around for a dime under which to hide, but there being none at hand he took refuge behind the door of the Commons and refused to appear until after every- one had gone to class.

This will happen in the future, when these seniors both are gone, [page three hundred and five] (Jimmy Pease and Carroll Lewis) ; then the Brighter days will dawn. For these hopeful young reformers often have been heard to say : Things at Cincy need revising; they ' ll be better done our way, We will smoke till walls all blacken; in the corners we will spit, Use up tons of Piper Heidsick and the ceilings try to hit. Why should we be like the Betas? there are ladies here enuf ! Better imitate Pat Wheeler, or the Phi Delts, who are rough. Let us chase out all the women; we ' ll shoot craps in ev ' ry class, Burn in effigy Fred. Hoehler, and bring freedom here at last.

[page three hundred and ten] Here are a few of the unpleasantest words that ever blotted paper — Shakespeare. Gliterature that truly Glitters or Vers Moderns Literature to effectually glitter must first of all be modern. Before novelty can be sought, however, the scientific method of standardization must be pursiied. In this age of ever-changing theory, we are compelled to make over the old, before we allow our tasteful genius to create for itself. So, for the benefit of human letters, we reproduce the old classics, such as the Mary series, in the short skirt and wide flare of fashion to meet the demands of busi- ness. Our plentiful lack of wit and rhapsody of words has come up to the 1917 yardstick of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and has been most graciously approved by the B K ' s, George ' s, and the Dean ' s censorship. Mary had a kitty cat. Its fur was white enough, A ' nd every where that Mary went She ' d carry it — as a muff. The Moving Theme Professor Browne heard the doorbell ring with more disquietude than he dared own to himself. He got up at once and went to the door. As he swung it open, he caught sight of the figure [page three hundred and eleven] which he had expected, the splendid figure of Robert Hallowell. Over the boy ' s shoulders, the Professor caught a glimpse of steady falling snowflakes, which added to the comfort of his own attractive home. The Professor invited the freshman in, and followed him into the library. That he felt attracted to this boy he could not explain to himself. He knew, however, that he had expected great things of him in his English, and that he had seen with constantly growing disappointment the boy ' s neglect of his work. Professor Browne did not often trouble his mind about wayward stu- dents; his method of teaching was an adaptation of Mr. Darwin ' s survival of the fittest. His disappointment in this case, then, wab not due to tenderness but to his conviction that Hallowell had possibilities. The themes which the boy had turned in so far were tardy and slovenly, but they contained bits of in- sight into human nature which were astonishing from one so unsophisticated. The Professor sat down in silence and waited for the boy to begin, This was a part of the defensive tactics which had made his name a terror among the Eng- lish students in the University. Few of them boasted that they had put anything over on Professor Browne. The silence became oppressive. Hal- lowell blurted out, I brought that last theme around. f ■ rjr j ' ) I 353 ifiafiiffp Ah, the professor repHed, the one due yesterday? Yes sir, you told me I could bring it in late. I asked you to come around this evening with it, because I have to turn in the term marks tonight. Yes sir. And this gave you all day to work over it. I suppose it is finished? Well, sir, it is not quite, but — Ah, not finished yet? Well, I did not expect it would be. I suppose you realize that you are the last member of the class to finish this week ' s theme? Yes sir. And that I must take that fact into consideration in making up the grades? Yes sir, I suppose so. And that this is, let me see, and the professor turned the pages of a notebook, there are four other themes late this term, and two of those unfinished? Yes sir. Well, Hallowell, it looks pretty bad, doesn ' t it? The boy squirmed but said nothing. He felt as if he were being taken into the confidence of an ogre. How ' s your other work? The question was shot right at the heart of the boy ' s real trouble, and it startled him into confession. Rotten, he replied, forgetting for the moment to whom he was speaking, If I don ' t get English, I ' m busted! Again as I had expected, said the professor, and his voice was as steelly cold as before, but in his eyes there was something which an imaginative person might have interpreted as pity. Hallo- well experienced an unaccountable feel- ing of relief. Considering, then, that matters seem to be somewhat critical with you, I can- not see why you did not trouble to finish this theme. Hallowell was at a loss. If you will read it through, sir, he pleaded. It was the only thing he could think to say. With a sense of coming disappoint- ment, the professor opened the folded sheets. His interest grew as he read: [page three hundred and thirteen] John Thomas was about forty-five years old, though he looked sixty. He was a farmer and a gentleman. Though he worked with his hands, he did not use them to the exclusion of his brain. He was the kind of a man who was honored more fifty years ago than now- adays. He was self-reliant and honest. Mr. Thomas did not, I think, have a very happy life. His wife had died many years ago in bearing a child. This child had now grown to be a young man. In him lay Thomas ' only pleas- ure and hope. His boy was all he worked for and all he hoped for. Mr. Thomas had not had a good education. He realized what he had missed, and therefore wanted his son to have the best education possible. He had toiled for years to save enough money to send him through college. The country school the boy attended was not a very good one, but his father rested all his faith upon his college instruction. He sent his boy to a big university in a big city, not realizing the many temptations the big town offered. His hopes were of the highest for his son. The arrival of his letters were the events of the week. Thomas gladly stayed alone on the farm and worked doubly hard to give his boy all these advan- tages. During the first part of the term, the letters had disappointed Mr. Thomas, for they had told of much time wasted in ' seeing life ' in the big city. Then a change had come, but with it came news that the boy was having trouble with his studies. The end of the first term was near. If his son did not make good, it would break his heart. He waited anxiously to hear. ' ' Mr. Thomas stood by the gate. The postman should have been there thirty minutes ago. At last his wagon came into view and gradually approached. Eagerly he grasped the letter, opened it, and read — The theme was unfinished. The pro- fessor lifted his eyes and looked straight into those of the boy. All right, Hallowell, was all he said, you may write your father that you have passed the course! The next morning Professor Browne was thinking over the affair. He felt a sHght fear that he had allowed pit} ' to sway him from the path of duty, but he knew in his heart that he would gladly do it over again. Then a sudden thought caused him to look up Hallo- well ' s name in the University lists. The boy ' s home address was 88th Street, New York City!— i . G. B. His Literature Breathes there a dean with soul so dead Who unto me these grave words said: This is your own, your only fruition Of your ill-spent check, your semester ' s tuition.

[page three hundred and sixteen] Editor ' s Note: Although the inspiration and genius of this copy of the Illiterate Indigest is not due directly to him, yet we feel it our duty to state here and now that all threats, duels, arguments, fistic en- counters — in short, all blame, should be referred to Dr. Lowrie, the distinguished faculty adviser of this 1917 Cincin- natian. (Kindly address all complaints to him.) I am Sir Oracle, and when I ope my lips let no dog hark. Undergraduates have repeatedly asked us to turn our attention to a weighty question which constantly con- confronts them: With what title shall students address members of the faculty ? Shall the reverend individuals be called Doctor, Professor or Mister? The matter is one of great import. Students needs must exercise exceeding care in choosing their words when speak- ing to these superiors. They should always bear in mind that they are all mighty who are included in the ranks of the Faculty and therefore never hesi- tate to give a man his due. Hence show him that you recognize his superiority by the deepest humility of air mingled with a gentle attempt to reveal to him your sparkling brilliance. In selecting the exact appellation, be most wary. A slip in the rank you as- cribe to a celebrity may cost you dearly. Woe is to him who should reduce the due of a Ph. D. by the burgeois term of Mr. Above all never hesitate in ad- dressing these personalities. It is bet- [page three hundred and seventeen] ter to plunge in and praise where praise is undeserved than to fail to present it in the required degree. When in doubt, resort to the use of Professor. It is a very convenient substitute when in confusion, for all the Faculty profess something. On the other hand you will find it very successful to yield to your desire to flatter these mighty ones. Phi Beta Kappas hang on a word and Es and Fs are made by the stroke of an unseen hand. When you have located the unseen hand, flatter it assiduously. Moreover, if you want to be on the safe side address all in facultatem by the distinguished Dr. or Professor. It is a means to an end. Explanatory Note What is a Faculty? A Faculty is the part of the brain that does the thinking. Does it always do the thinking? Sometimes it does, but the students do it mostly.

' Dr. Parker ' s Past and- Present Plea for An Eight-Hour Day When Congress passed the law that made nine hour days a crime, We thought that Mr. Adamson had chosen well the time; But when we look about us and see con- ditions here We wish that Mr. Adamson would send us the same cheer. Are University students worse by such an awful load Than engineers and pilots that work on the railroad? They can only work eight hours, but we can work all day. [page three hundred and nineteen] Now tell me, oughtn ' t we have lots of things to say? University students work and stud} ' day and night, And then professors tell them that their hours are quite right. Two hours of work ' s expected for every hour of class — How many will that leave when you subtract them from the mass? Two hours of Psychology, and two of History, Two more of boring Ethics, and two of Botany, Two of Math, and two of French; now if you add them right You will see that unless we can go sleep- less, we can ' t finish in one night. And if perchance a student should come to classes unprepared He dare not look about him for fear his crime be bared. And yet his ignorance may not be by his choice. For in setting his amount of work he has not had a voice. No one wondered when the railroads struck to get their due. So I can ' t see why it isn ' t right for me and you. And before black coffee puts a finish to our fate We must strike for hours that are limited to eight. (Note — We beg the Faculty, whose eyes may chance upon this, not to miss the appeal in the above, |tho carried away by the beauty of the poetical ex- pression.) A Maker of History Cincinnatian Editor {approaching Dr. Fettneman with a question blank) — Will you please fill out this information blank for the Cincinnatian? Dr. Fenneman — Oh, there ' s no need of my doing it. Look up in the Fs in ' Who ' s Who ' and you will find six pages devoted to Nevin J. Fenneman. Puzzle What caused Dr. Gardner ' s handker- chief, in the act of being extricated from his pocket, to shrink from gentleman ' s to lady ' s size? Is he a magician or is he contemplating changing Political to Do- mestic Science? The Ballet Russe Facultsky Cultured society may hold Nijinski as the height of classic dancing today; but cultured society is there judging af- ter a narrow experience. It has never seen the Ballet Russe Facultsky dance on Wednesday evening, the Revivals of Sharpin. Then does the spirit of Mer- cury and Bacchus enter the light steps of the dancers and insurpassable grace results. The most celebrated star of the Ballet is Chandlerwadloiski, dainty as a slyph, graceful as a nymph. Cummingski is another attraction; he skips like a little child and is master of sides all. Youngrad is the rival of Pavlowa; she is artistic in every mincing step. The troop includes also such famous dancers as Tawneyza, Grebnersky, Warrinoi, Grossky, Bechtin, Brutenoi. Bucker- witz, Bronsonski, Kindlesky, Nipper- tin and Toazsky. We Like Pepper With Our Meals We wouldn ' t criticize at all The Commons menu card; To plan it Mrs. AUison Must have to think real hard. We ' re willing that the Faculty Should have a room to dine; Wherein their lofty appetites Meet not the student line. But what we cannot understand In the Faculty dining hall Is the mass of pepper-sellers While we have none at all. The Commons are bereft of pep We miss it now and then And wonder when the Board of Health Will give it back again. Dr. Dabney may be President of the University of Cincinnati, but Fred Hoehler and George run this college. Dr. Parker has revealed the great truth that it is the duty of society to bury all the dead who can not bury themselves. You all have met Frank W. Chandler In your journeys thru scholarly woe, But the girls have learned to their sor- row That flirting with Frankie don ' t go. Oh, here ' s to Coach Ion J. Cortright! Defeat never e ' en makes him frown. He has transferred the hair from his eyebrow To keep a stiff upper lip when he ' s down. But he forgot to preserve the mous- tachio To back him thru Thanksgiving Day; And that is why U. C. was loser In the Miami game — So they say. If you don ' t know the new Dean of Women You are missing a great deal of joy. For the Dean ' s cheery smile Is something worth while It will straightway all troubles destroy. INFORMATION TEST Many have been the times that the faculty unfeelingly imposed upon weak students the burden of examinations. The students accepted them uncom- plainingly then, but did not forget the givers. Now, however, they seize upon the opportunity, one which will never come again, to give the faculty the following examination : Rules 1. Only grades of A and B are passing. 2. Close all books and lay aside all notes. 3. Leave a vacant seat between each occupied one. [page three hundred and twenty] 4. Answer all questions in best English on Blue Books. Faculty Final Exam.

[page three hundred and twenty-two] EDITORIAL— Which is Serious Seriously speaking, in this month ' s issue of the Indigest, we are attempting to become better acquainted with the fraternities. We have, been very frank in our remarks, and, if your feehngs have been hurt, drown your desires for revenge in laughter, at the other fellow ' s expense. And we will all laugh and grow fat together. The Editor endeav- ored herein to show, not yours, but the other fellow ' s weaknesses, foibles and peculiarities, in the hope that he, not you, may prosper by the knowledge thereof, and that you may be amused. Also and furthermore — but we wax dry, let the sheet speak for itself. (Editor ' s Note! — In the following, written for the benefit of the frosh, and the Phrenecon Society, for the Exter- mination of Enjoyable Brotherhood, we have attempted to show how to estimate the bunches at Varsity.) Sigma Chi (I Yam Dri Chapter) Colors, Black and Blue. Founded at Neal Institute. Being the oldest Fraternity at U. C. Sigma Chi has had quite a past. We think that it has a great future behind it. The Fraternity was realh founded at Miami, but it has enough to live down without that added curse. Early in the year the chapter was quite small be- cause some of the brethren, after having lived with the rest of their chapter mem- bers, thought that the oncoming Mexi- [page three hundred and twent ' -three] can War would give them a chance to rest and recuperate, hence the exodus. Moerleins and Haucks almost went out of business until the Sig Chis got together and grabbed off a gang of unsuspecting frosh and pledged them before they sobered up. The Sig Cheeses are very ex- clusive and both of the brothers have gotten very well acquainted during the past six months. The Sig Grip Sigma Alpha Epsilon (Carb Arn Chapter) Co ors, H White and Ezra ' Green. Founded at Moody Bible In- stitute. The motto of this select crowd of young men is, Many are called but few are cho- ' sen. (See Freshmen Bar- nett, Weatherford, Rendigs or Wahl.) The policy of this Fraternitj is conservative ex- tension, the only element that they con- serve is energy. The Betas say that, as extensionists, they have been forced into second place bj ' the Sig Alfs. The badge of this fraternity is in the shape of a diamond, made of some yellow sub- stance and painted black. The pin shows a sturdv Sig Alf leading: the Beta goat, (that ' s not so hard)! Their house has a large porch, a brass sign, and a billiard table. It is located near the beautiful Clifton Elm Car Barn, hence, Car Barn Gang. Their traveling delegate, who being a union motorman gets around to the car barn and the Sig Alf house quite often, said after one of his recent visits that he was convinced that cleanliness for a college student was not only next to Godliness, but it was also next to impossible. The best known Beta song is the Loving Cup song, which is in part as follows ; O hurry with the wagon Cliff, Back right up to the door, I ' ve got a bunch of brothers Cliff, Drunker than e ' er before, Now drive back to the station Cliff, And lock these Betas up. They ' ve had entirely too much booze In their old loving cup. Beta Theta Pi (Badde Nough Chapter) Founded at International Correspondence School during the Panic of 1907. Color, Dull Green. Luke McGluck, Al. McGluck ' s brother, says that if all the Betas in the world were placed in The Beta Grip a straight line they would extend so far into space that it would take 280,000 years for a ray of light from the nearest star to reach the end of the line. Pater Knocks started all of this and the Beta boys have since been living up to Pater ' s name. This is one of the more conserv- ative fraternities, that is, more conserv- ative than the Elks, but not much more. A Beta may be recognized bv a slab of lead, painted yellow and black, with a large piece of glass shaped like a wart in the upper middle part and un- derneath which are the letters B. T. P. The Sig Chis say that these refer to the Motto, Boot Them Pups. This crowd is noted for its singing, particu- larly Bro. Markgraf, who under the influence of his freshman training, waves his hand and says, Sing Bros. Sing, and the Betas sing as follows : When we came down from Oxford Town, A dozen years ago. We were only a hundred thousand strong. For we were young you know, etc. [page three hundred and twenty-five] Phi Delta Theta (I Owe Abill Chapter) Founded at Miami. (Let it go at that!) Colors : Dark. Light and The Phi Delt Grip The castle be- longing to this cult is situated in Mt. Auburn, near the classic shades of Mecks, the C o n - servatory of Music, and the General Hospital; assuring for these young gentlemen a well rounded education. The Phis are known far and wide for the parties that they give, and the attractive chaperons who referee them. The home of the Phi Delts is often the goal of the investigation tours of the Household Arts Classes, who study it as a model — to be avoided. These boys are very modest and hate publicity, and Bros. Peck and Joyce are busy most of the time suppressing any free advertise ment which the other brethren may obtain. For a few months now, the Phis have been looking up, and have pledged a man. Delta Tau Delta (Zin- zinnati Chapter) Founded: Moler ' s Barber College. Colors : Burgundy and Champagne. This group of ardent The Delt Grip students have withdrawn to the wilds and quiet of Mt. Auburn. The Sig Alfs say that they can ' t see why the Delts are so good and how they get so many good men, but we know many a good man that has been gotten by the D. T ' s. But the Delts, that is, outside of Romaine and Lush, don ' t drink enough to hurt ' em. (Tommy Schraf- fenberger says that there ain ' t enough and he ought to know.) Prof. Stevens and Prof. Gowdy are Delts. They neither of them believe in fraternities. The worries of this social whirl are telling on the more delicate brethren, McCartney, Haehnle, Rogatzky and Downey, and these four take great sat- isfaction in warbling that good old Tau Delt Hymn — My Girl is a Delta. We ' re crazy about Theta, And also D. Z. We fear that the Tri Delts Our parties can ' t see. Chorus : Tra la la la la la, Tra la la la la la, We fear that the Tri Delts Our parties can ' t see. Doc runs in the D Z ' s At every excuse, From our grip the Thetas Have torn themselves loose. Cho. Likewisel} ' the Tri Delts And Kappas we rush, Our Pelham and Fritzi Have got quite a crush. Cho. And Bayle likes Clara, Turk Downey likes Mete, At fussing, that freshman Can never be beat. Cho. Now Romey and Corner, Both fuss fair Charlene, But she with a Pi Kap More often is seen. Cho. You ' ll now hear the moral Of this little song. Remember Delt crushes Don ' t ever last long. Cho. Pi Kappa Alpha (Grab OfEa Gang Chapter) Founded : Tuskee- gee Institute. Colors : Tan. Black and The Pi Kap Grip The home of the Cincinnati chapter of this brother- hood is located in the back yard of one of Mr. Fenton ' s Dry Cleaning stores. Owing to the peculiar provisions in their bj ' -laws they always have a large gang on hand, in order to support the chapter pool table, and to keep the cue and both balls in repair. Up to this year the Pi Kaps have been forced to put individual pictures in the Cincinnatian, like the other sororities, but that intellectual genius, G. M. C. Voss, conceived the idea of fining the brethren a nickel if they failed to get mugged with the rest of their chapter, and Mr. Barnum ' s was the scene of the reunion. The Fly Traps have been known to rush and pledge in the names of Sig Alf , and then to decorate the boob with a Pi Kap button, thus giving him a nice surprise. It doesn ' t always work, in fact it never did work. This year the chapter thought it wise to change their pledge buttons for fear that the alumni would recognize and embarrass the would-be Pi Kap by trying to lend him money. Dr. McGrane, of the History Depart- ment, is a Pi Kap, and he says that the Fraternity is strong in the South. Cin- cinnati is in the North. Alpha Nu Sigma. Sigma Delta Pi. Alpha and Omega Chapters Founded at University of Cincin- nati. C o o? ' 5, Over- all Blue and Axle Grease Yellow. In order to show no [page three hundred and twenty-six] Will Dreams Come True ? partiality we are speaking of these two organizations in the same breath. They are aUke in many respects, we refer to the realm of hopes and aspira- tions, which is embodied for both in the mystic letters A. T. 0. We wish them both luck! These fraternities have chapters in the following schools: Aic- Micken College of Liberal Arts, H. U. C, Williams College of Physical Education, Schneider Engineering College, Ohio Medical College, Jones ' Chemical Insti- tute, Cincinnati University and the Uni- versity of Cincinnati. They were origi- nally founded as a Society for the Pre- vention of the Spread of Academics, but now they have become positive and are known as the Amalgamated Order of Parlor Snakes of America. {Editor ' s A ' ote — Each of the sororities told us lots of horrible things about each of the rest of the sororities, but we are too nice to print them in public. Pri- vate dope may be obtained from the Editors.) Delta Delta Delta Flower, the Pine Cone (We knew Phil would get in here somehow) ! This sorority is not one, it ' s a frater- nity, a brotherhood of sisters — Mary Louise says so! This brotherhood owns a fine house on Park Avenue. This house is especially fine because the fines imposed upon past Tri Delts have formed the endowment fund for its sup- port. It is near the Christian Science Church, in fact the two are often con- fused. This home is exquisitely deco- rated inside, baby blue and pink pre- dominating in the color scheme. The sisters are called Tri Delts. They tried Delts, but were beaten out by the Thetas, and so fell back on the Beta boys. Dr. Parker has a curious combi- nation of words, three of them, begin- ning with D, at the mention of which the Tri Delts blush knowingly. It is really a secret, but these words are Defective, Dependent and Deficient but of coarse, we know that he doesn ' t mean our Tri D ' s. [page three hundred and twenty-seven] Kappa Delta Floivcr, The invisible Ferry Primrose. All of the sororities unite in saying that Miss Dorothy Ferry is one of the finest sororities at U. C. Her Fresh- woman delegation is also very nice — yes, both of the girls are. The only im- provement in the sorority that we would suggest is that its extreme extension policy might be checked. In closing, let us reiterate that quality and not quan- tity, should be the idea, and we hope that the Kappa Delts will see their way clear to follow this precept in the future. Kappa Alpha Theta Color. Gold of the Setting vSun. The members of this sorority may be recognized by the peculiar kite-shaped pins which they insist on wearing at all occasions. The shape of this pin being that of a kite, symbolizes the altitude that these co-eds strive to attain, but the old law about everything that goes up must come down is still pretty true. The Thetas distinct unselfishness was shown during the last rushing season, and demonstrated their belief in sisterly love in its most liberal application. We have heard that the Thetas are very nice girls, and not K A T s, as their name might imply. This is the oldest woman ' s greek letter societ} ' , but we can ' t believe that their age can be re- sponsible for some things of recent date that some sav betoken the end. Chi Omega Colors. Red and Yellow. This sorority was evidently founded by the wife of a maker of a famous medicinal oil. (For Catalog of prices see H. Montgomery.) This sorority is also a fraternity, and is very conserva- tive, but the large delegation taken in this year, 1917, knocked another long standing tradition in the head. The interest in politics developed by demo- crats Jones and Craighead, led to the offering of a prize for the best essay in poHtical science. Sister Montgomery collected the prize. Among the well- known Chi O ' s, are Miss Helen Sammett, the daring chaufeusse, Miss Margaretta Jones, the carbolic acid fiend, and Miss Laura McNutt, the prima donna of the College Hill Oprey Co. Kappa Kappa Gamma Colors, Blond, Brunette and Red. The wearers of the key, no not the Phi Beta Kappa key, are a band of ardent students, who brook with impa- tience any interruption on their study. We have neglected to mention the study which they pursue so eagerly. It is best shown by the National Sorority Hymn made popular by Billy Sunday, who has a song called, Brighten the Corner Where You Are, and sung to the same tune. The oft recurring re- frain is as follows : Fuss in the corner where you are, Always in the corner where ' ere you are, Give the men a sweet smile Or they won ' t come no more. Fuss in the corner where you are. Delta Zeta (Wantaman Chapter) Flower, The Wall. The members of this sorority are known as disease, or by the plural, dezeezes, — as the case may be. They are almost always to be found at Table No. 3 to the right of the center in the Commons. Solomon says that they are lovely girls. Certain young men at Varsity, quite young in fact, but not as young, comparatively speaking as Whitey and J — ' , but they are pretty young — seem to enjoy illness. This sorority is fairly young at Cin- cinnati, having come down from Oxford not long ago. But as we said, they as well as the Betas, Phi Delts and Sig Chis, have their origin to live down, so we won ' t say anything too crool. We hope that there is nothing in envi- ronment — because, after all, Miami is Miami. Charlene Culbertson ' s text- book on Dance Diplomacy, or Cin- cinnati vs. Miami, and Kayjay Jamie- son ' s novel, A Romance of Old Bata- via have both added luster to the sororitorial shrine of Delta Zeta. Mystic Thirteen (Only Chapter) Der time vont allow dot ve say mooch aboudt dese goils, aber ve vill chust say dis, Dot ' s a fine organization, wich it iss! Dose dirteen meestical vimmen haf fine parties, vhich dey do, und haf auch der right spirit.

Yours efTer, Schmitty. Sigma Sigma (Worst Chapter) When we approach this subject we do so with fear and trembling because we cannot fail to realize the seriousness of our task. In fact, we feel distinctly sober. (What d ' ye mean, sober?) Have not two minister ' s sons been taken into the mystic portals? We will close, not by quoting the Rev. Tunk Palmer — who declares that the glory is departed — but by saying that the true spirit of Sigma Sigma lives still, but not quietly, and that it ' s motto is as ever, good fel- lowship, based on our common tie in Varsity (and Meck ' s), a reward to the faithful, and so we say, When they get gay and turn night to day It ' s nobody ' s busi- ness but their Whose Grip? own.

Fai The Co-ed leads a care-free life, So runs an ancient rhyme The Co-op leads a busy life And works most of the time. This is the Life It is in the month of July. A sturdy-, handsome youth approaches the Engi- neering Building. But who is this young man? Why that is a Co-op in embryo. In the young man ' s hand is a letter from Geo. Burns ordering him to report so that he can be assigned to his summer work. Our young hero stops a tired, world- weary looking man and asks to be direct- ed to Mr. Burns. The T-W-W. man answers thusly, Foist you go in the big door and toining to your left y ou enter the thoid door, ' tis I, Prof. Braune, who gives you the information. The poor lad, dazed at having spoken to a real Professor, wanders on and bumps into Prof. Wilson who tells him where to go in very vigorous language. Our hero finally connects with George Burns and tells him who he is. George at once looks mysterious, glances cautiously around, looks under the table and then whispers these burning words to the now properly impressed neophyte, I have just had an order for one Co-op that has brains and knows how to use them. I bet if we looked we would find a thim- bleful or so of brains on you, so I hereby [page three hundred and thirty-one] pick you for the job. But ray-member the position (its gone up you see) re- quires you to use your brains and will pay well, it pays . . . . , well you will find out when you open your pay-envel- ope. So George gives the young man a let- ter to the Boss and tells him he has to report for work at daybreak. Rear back Mules, we are going to shift the scenery The sun peeps coyly over the stately hills of Mt. Auburn, b-r-r-r-r goes a Big Ben. Our hero jumps nimbly out of bed and into his clothes. He wears a white collar, for is he not to do brain work? After spending two hours and also ten cents on the cars he reaches the scene of his labor. The Boss is a large, rough- looking individual who, after reading our hero ' s letter, looks him up and down and finally says, Can you drive an auto? Oh, yes, sir! Well then, shuck off them Sunday duds of yourn and act as chaffeur on this wheelbar- row. Oh — ! another one of life ' s sweet dreams is shattered. ' Nother shift of scenery {About two months later. Also about dayt reah.) B-r-r-r-r goes Big Ben. A voice comes from under the covers, Shut up you blankety $%- )(;t %t- ' llM 3 - My word, it is the voice of our hero! But such language!! Oh, never mind Herman, he is fast learning to talk like a Co-op and can now listen to the best that Dopey Dan can say without bat- ting an eye. But, when he gets among the Co-eds over in the Commons, he puffs out his chest and in choice Bos- tonese invites a few of the dames to have something on him. For after paying carfare and buying new overalls he generally has about $0.48 (forty-eight cents) left over. When our hero has a few minutes to himself and thinks of the life he is lead- ing, Well Basil we can ' t print his lan- guage, but to all outsiders he declaims in a loud voice, Huh, hard? well it makes a man out of you and take it from me Bo, THIS IS THE LIFE. Side Lines If perseverance makes for success we are assured of Billy Allen ' s future, ' cause Bill communicated with six girls before one consented to go to a dance with him. Warner Cowell should be notified to pull down the window shades when making Sunday night calls on E. McMil- lan St. It is not his classmates fault when he is thus caught on the stroke of twelve. Co-ed to Co-op — What time is it? Co-op taking a slant at the Carewe Bldg. clock and then taking out his slide rule and manipulating it. — Why it is two o ' clock. Co-ed — Oh, you wonderful boy! Heard in Professor Jenkins ' Class Prof. — Allen, what is a screw? Allen — Piece of iron with wrinkles on it. ProJ. — Ernst, what is a nail? Ernst — Something you aim at when you hit your fingers. ProJ. — Schneider, what is a Johnson- bar? Tony — A saloon run by Jack John- son. [page three hundred and thirty-three] ProJ. — Webb, what is a wheel? Webh — A thing around a hub. Prof. — Giebel, what is an attach- ment? Bob — A fellow that is engaged. Prof. — DeQuasie, wake up! You are annoying the class. Prof. — Wuenker, what is a punch.? Wuenker — Stuff served at a dance. Romaine — ' ' A strut is a short column . ' ' Jenkins — What kind of a column? Romy — Oh, built like j ou. If you want to know who is boss around the Engineering laboratory, just ask Charley Brown. The Senior Engineers have formed an Engaged Men ' s Club; among the mem- bers we find Sadler, Harrington, Genz- mer, Biehl, Giebel and Huber. It ' s going to be a close race after June 16th to decide the winner. Yon Joyce has a lean and hungry look, he thinks too much ; such men are dangerous. But not with Jack. He is always hungry but he sure does not think too much; only enough to pass. He is perfectly tame except when he takes Peck along, then clear the decks for action. Jack Is A Good Sort, al- ways willing and very active. He has been extracting dollars for the baseball team, but then what is a dollar to a Co-op? About the same as his right arm. {Editor ' s Note — Guess who wrote this paragraph?) Our friends Joe, Bill and Shorty, who do the clean-sweep act, have a hard time dodging each other during their loafing hours. Have you noticed their new spreaders? They spread it in a mist. 1st Co-op — Do you knowCecile McD? 2d Co-op — Can ' t say, what does she look like ? 1st Co-op — Black hair, Pompean com- plexion and looks like a million dollars. 2d Co-op — Don ' t believe I ever saw her, she must be in the other sec- tion.

When but a freshman, Dutch Genz- mer was called before Dean Schneider and asked to tell of his early educational hardships. Dutch declared that he lived seven blocks from a Carnegie Library but that he didn ' t have an automobile. Chris.

Jerry Shaw declares that electricity is a great educator. Just think, says Jerry, what it has done to make men see things in a new light. Bill Talcott tells us that when he first arrived at the Engineering College he addressed Geo. Burns as Doctor upon which he was politely informed that if it was such that he was in need of he had better inquire at the Medical School. Big Ken Peck declares that Talcott didn ' t have anything on him, for he re- calls that on his first day of college he said, Hello there, Kiddo, to Mr. Hoffmann and was almost kicked out of school. There has been considerable talk of moving the Engineering College to Norwood so that Tommy Collins can be on time for his eight -thirty Steam class. The Co-op Limner You ask me what a limner is? A limner is a bird That sings a song we call a lim No! Limerick is the word.

So I ' m glad that I ' m a Junior And with the Juniors stand. You ' ll find our class of Juniors The best in any land. As freshies first we landed here, Fair and young and green, But we caused a mighty clamor, A change in the usual scene. So take off your hats to the Juniors, The class that outrivals them all, And keep your eye open for wonders. When thev become Seniors next fall. To Anna C. Annie, O Annie, I luf you so goot. Your cheeks are so rosy, your nose is so cute. You luf eferybody, eferybody lufs you.

The Gentle Art of Kidding The following scholarly and erudite dissertation is the result of the extensive investigations into prehistoric history pursued by Professor Hi Brow, for the purpose of discovering the inherent na- ture of kidding. The professor is now prepared to publish his views to the world at large. The Dope Kidding is the most universal occu- pation of all peoples. It is popular both as an indoor and outdoor sport. Re- quiring no implements save the human tongue, efficiency is easily acquired. The etymology of the word is simple in spite of the confusing fact that the kiddee more often becomes the goat than the kidder. Kidding may be divided into three classes: plain lies, spoofing, and the kind you can get away with. If you tell a girl she is beautiful but don ' t do it con- vincingly enough, or if, perhaps she has compared notes with her best friend and discovered that you made precisely the same statement one night last week when you called on said best friend, then you are spoofing. This is a compara- tively harmless stage, but exposes you to sarcastic remarks on the part of the lady. But if you tell a girl she is beau- tiful when she has already begun to sus- pect it herself, and your words onlj ' serve to turn her suspicions into certain- ty, then you are candidate for a master ' s degree. No one is ever safe from the kidder for he lurks unsuspected in the most harmless assemblies. Among his more prominent haunts may be mentioned dances. University Commons and tele- phone conversations. In conclusion, kidding is the greatest institution in existence for, by means of it, fat women believe they are thin, freshmen pass English I, men keep their jobs. Presidents and Congressmen get second terms, co-ops persuade the professors that they really work and innumerable other apparently useless but, nevertheless, necessary ends are accomplished. This conclusion, there- fore, explodes one more popular theory and the thinking public is forced to con- fess that it is not Love that makes the world go round but Kidding. The gazer clasps his aching head And seeks a change of scene — There ' s method in his madness, tho I ' ll tell, tho he ' s not willing He stuns the ladies with his ties! That ' s how he does his killing! ! The 36th Cent In the year ' 16 one October day A banquet was laid for Y. W. C. A. No one would miss such a splendid feed, For 36 cents was the only need. But after they were seated there Each on a straight-backed Common chair, A mighty problem gripped them there. One that would baffle wisest men. As food was served by Solomon small The thought occurred to one and all That 36 cents was a cent too great, They had not ordered at that rate. They looked about them everywhere To see what cost was really fair. First this they count, then that they add But 35 cents worth was all they had. At last Burnette, with an eagle eye Said, as she solved the cost so high; Now I see the cause of it Now I see that the charge is fit. Napkins are so very dear Napkins cost a cent up here. So Mrs. Allison has wisely served. As this banquet well deserved. Has put upon the table white Napkins for our feast tonight. There was a young Junior named Dusty A student of dear Varsitee They say he ' s a Phi Delta Theta But he looks like a Chi 0 to me. Them Ties I love to see a rainbow Stretched across the skies I love the vivid colors — But not in co-ops ' ties!

Troop C, Returning From the Rio Grande, Makes a Wonderful Impression on Our Fair Sex On Thursday, March the first, the long looked for, little hoped for, horde of wandering troopers returned to the fold. Accompanied by shouts of wel- come and squeals of joy, the bronzed soldier boys invaded our lunch-room and such prolonged and successful fussing we have not seen for many days. Miss Isabelle Taylor and Miss Florence Magly seemed to be the most successful of the sirens, not excluding Miss Helen Wright, and accomplished the seeming impossible by snaring about five troopers apiece, in spite of the brisk competition, and holding them speechless with their wonderful flow of the English language. May the troopers weather the storms at home as well as those at the Border! (Editor ' s Note— What! Not a word about Leslie Williams?)

Where There ' s Life There ' s Hope The famous halls of old U. C. Mean quite a lot of things to me.

I ' ve made a stab at all the things From Persian Wars with towns and kings To Modern Drama, Greek Thirteen; And think of all the things I ' ve seen I But still there ' s lots and lots to know Such as how your dad makes dough But Gee!! It almost takes two years To learn the way they give the cheers. I wouldn ' t take a single thing For just the fun I ' ve had this spring It ' s four years gone, but not astray For I have hopes, perhaps some day I ' ll come right back to these same halls And get a job within these walls If not a prof or President I ' ll be George Frey, when he has went.

The Evolution of Harriet Four years ago a little maid As timid as could be Came tripping up the big stone steps To enter Varsity. She was as fair a little lass As any one could see, With rosy cheeks and curly hair She entered Varsity. The hardest courses she could take (They ' d ne ' er occur to me.) She chose from out the Catalog On entering Varsity. Phi Beta Kappa was her aim, To this we all agree, Her farthest hope was gaining fame On entering Varsity. The first two years were quiet years With now and then a tea, She hardly knew the college yells They yell at Varsity. Four years have gone — this little maid You ' d hardh ' know by sight. Her hair is straight as straight can be She really is a sight. Her rosy cheeks have lost their hue Some freckles now appear. Her laugh has lost its merry ring She doesn ' t seem to keer. Oh cruel world. How could you thus We simply do not see Make such a change in that poor girl Who ' s leaving Varsity? The U. C.

Tony Takes a Ride A Saginaw man tells the following story about Tony Schneider who once spent a summer in a Michigan Lumber Camp. Tony was told to get busy on one end of a cross-cut saw, the other end being in charge of an old and experienced lumberman. For a while all went well but at the end of the second log Tony ' s strength began to wane. Suddenly the old man stopped the saw and said, Son, I don ' t mind your riding on this saw, but if its all the same to you, I wish you wotdd keep your feet off the ground. Guess Who?

The Cross Town Car How dear to my heart are the rides on the Cross Town, When fond recollection presents them to view. The wait on the corner, the struggle to board it, The old Cross Town Car that our col- lege days knew. That small yellow street car I hailed as a treasure. When at last up the street it came bumping along, I found it a source of most exquisite pleasure. To. hang on the strap and then swing with the tl;irong. How ardent I held it with hands that were glowing. And handed my books to the friend in a seat. Then ' soon with his cargo of youth over- flowing, The motortnan starts ' and we bump up the street.

And when he talks, oh what a breeze Of hot air, like the hum of bees ' Tis then he ' s surely at his ease This orator — the great Jim Pease.
