Edited ar)d f[ ar)a %ed by ttye Qass of 1901 University of Denver ( • • Dedication • • l'o the Rev. Dr. If. A. Rue Jit el. Chancellor of the University oj Denver: Dear Sir—We beg to connect your name with the Annual for this collegiate year of the University. We do this from something more than the regard due to your official place, from more even than our sense of the affection which you have already given and gained among us. We looked for your coming as they who watch for the morning: we were sure that with your coming would beam over our horizon the gold and crimson of the dawn. The morning with its fragrance of hope, its stir of energy and its glow of early achievement is here to deepen as the hours go on. Our hearts leap up to welcome and to hail you as its appointed usher. Your burden is heavy; you take it up cheerfully; you will uphold and be upheld. Accept sympathy and support from us who are by our position so near you and with whom you are already more than a Chancellor, a brother beloved, and allow your name to shed honor and value on our Memorial Volume. 4- 4- KYNEWISBOK board. £UmJ AoUi Panel B U AilUon i� r k Floiwi M.

The site our r-ss University is unsurpassed in the whole world, so we have no shadow of need any change or improvement in our situation. Our professors stand in the first rank their respective departments. We are proud of them. So we do not need any change or in rove-ment in our teaching force. Our students are animated with most worthy ambitions, id we are therefore not needing anyone to furnish them with either capacity for hard work or with noble aspirations. The University spirit among our students is of the most delightf ! quality. and in quantity it is as plentiful as our sunshine. True it is that we have a cloud} day once in a great while in Colorado, and it is also true that the University spirit is sometimes slightly covered by shadows. But we are always sure of the passing away of the clouds in this land of sunshine and good sense. But there are some things which we do need. Our first need is an enthusiast: purpose to wipe out our debt. This enthusiastic purpose must be manifested by students, and graduates, and trustees, and ministers, and friends of the University, as well as by the professors and the chancellor. As we go to press with this volume of Kynewisbok we have secured pledges on the debt which aggregate forty-six thousand dollars. All this in three months is heartening. But our total debt approximates two hundred thousand dollars. Each day adds something to the total amount of pledges. What we most need now is enthusiastic purpose all around. Of course we need money to put all our splendid buildings in repair. Every uilding needs something done to it excepting only the building of the IlifT School of I he-ology. This beautiful memorial is kept in most perfect repair. But we say nothing now of all these urgent needs because the paramount need is enthusiastic purpose to wipe out the debt. We also need more students, but students of the same fine quality as those we now have. We do not want students who are hoping to pass by grace in any department of the University, for all such students will be disappointed. In all the departments of the University we have five hundred and twenty students now in attendance, which is an advance of ninety one over last year. This tells its own story of the improved times in Colorado. Let everyone who loves the University remember that our trade mark now is WIFE OUT THE I)EUT.

How wild was his joy when the coveted cane Was snatched from a Sophomore hand. What pride, what unspeakable joy was his To be one of that conquering band— Trials he had—but undaunted he stood With “Hope' on his breastplate and shield. He feared not the future, he feared not the foe. And ne’er to the Soph would he yield. And still came the music—and faster it came, More confident, freer it grew. Staccatos of arrogance, full chords of pride, And soft pianissimos too. The trials of Freshmen he straightway forgets. For he is a Freshman no more. “My college.’’ “my class —-“the men of my set.’ Are the phrases we hear o’er and o’er. And once, and yet oftencr, there come the soft strains That signify Love’s first young dream. For Sophies are foolish, amf what can we say If Cupid with them reigns supreme? 1 ie mused o'er that season of glory and pride, When he as a Soph’more did rule; When with cane, and with Physics, content with himself— He lorded it over the school. When, coveting greatly the cap and the gown. He smuggled them both, one dark night, And in front of the camera, posed the next day,. Arrayed in their beauty and might. When—sweetest and tenderest memory of all— That summer night, long, long ago, When the moonlight had shone all around them As he lingered unwilling to go, When she gave him the rose, soft whisp’ring “good night.” His eyes once again brightly glow. For he secretly treasures a dry withered rose, The rose that she gave long ago. Now slow came the rnusic.and stately its tones, The trills of the Freshmen were few. One still heard the con-fi dent Sophomore chords, But firmer and sweeter they grew, Allegro—Andante —yet moderate all, The Junior yea r— steady and sure. When pleasure, and purpose and friendship unite. In a bond which will last and endure. The past has its lesson, the present its hope. The future its duty and care. And the Junior, secure in his own college world. Finds profit and joy everywhere. With ambition lofty, with ideals high. With intellect, surely, he’s blessed, For does he not give to the impatient world Kyncwisbok—the brightest and best? And once more the music, triumphant and sweet. Majestically, rapturously came, And as if they rejoiced in some purpose achieved The notes rose in glorious acclaim. But even when triumph and joy were the themes When the notes were melodiously glad. There crept in the music, one hardly knew how Till soft came the melody — softer it grew , •- C U___ 4__ A minor strain, plaintiveandsad, And ere one could ask that it linger awhile As if 'twere too heav’nly to stay, It grew fainter— and then died away. The listener thought of the last happy months When the end crowned the labor of years. When the old life had ended, the new one begun With its hopes and its doubts and its fears. The j e the future—the glad major The joys of the past—minor strains. For, though brightest hopes beckon eagerly on. The pang of the parting remains. The last burst of melody—dying away To sound and re-echo no more— “ I j: roi cst mort'—joyfully Vive U roif And the drama of college is o’er. SENIOR CUASS Cora V_ Taylor F. L. L- Hitter. K- N.

Fearless Freshmen One dark night. and Sophomore f4istor Steal some gowns Clear out of sight. Sophs are raging, Air is blue, Freshmen dear— What will they do? ill. Several Sophs with cap and gown Mount the car and go to town, Want to have their pictures “took” To adorn the “wisdom-book.” Hope that fate will sure be kind To the ones they left behind. Never dream that Freshmen bold Keep five sheep from out the fold. Guard them safely, guard them well, Sophies' thoughts no tongue can tell. Three of these—the story goes— Call a “cop.” and tell their woes. Beg on bended knees that he, Protector, guardian will be. He dispels all frights and fears. Comforts them and wipes their tears; Stops the car that goes to town. Sends them off with cap and gown. iv. Prisoners two—with gasping breath— Tremblingly await their death. Cellar window open—they Think they ought to fight their way. Never will they ask for aid. They who are of naught afraid! Out they crawl—and o’er a fence. Flight discovered—woes commence. Sophs are rattled, brains do whirl. Sprint they out for street of Pearl. Freshmen follow—lightning speed. Sophs still bravely keep the lead. One escapes and one is caught. Long anti fiercely is it fought. Yet the Sophie’s fate is sealed, To the Freshman he must yield, v. In front of a kodak the captured Soph, Arrayed in the cap and gown, Is posing, all weary and worn and sad, Just as the sun goes down! VI. They say that the Sophs were victorious next day. They posed for their picture in Senior array. But we know that some members were strangely forlorn, That their once gay expressions were weary and worn. Oh Sophomores, listen to what we may say. And treasure our warnings for some future day— Don’t envy the Seniors, their gowns and their caps. Be patient, for sometime you’ll wear them —perhaps. Don’t be so ambitious as to wish to hand down To the future, your picture in cap and in gown.

I he Clarion has become so thoroughly a part of the University life, in its capacity of the s'. le official paper of the student body, that its history records more successes than journalistic” er. rprises usually receive. The paper began the year under conditions most promising. The B tin had become The Clarion under the management of the editor. Wayne C. Williams, and Hi ness Manager Jay Downer. The Clarion was, first of all. the college newspaper—to give all th lews and retain the interest and attention of its readers. In material appearance it won new fa r by appearing as a four-column paper, and enlarged to the dimensions of a dignified weekly. The paper has pursued a broad and liberal policy, embracing ‘all college interests, standing for the University at all times. In February the editor resigned, owing to press of duties, and Mr. Walter Gooldy was elected to the vacancy, with Miss Ellen Anderson as associate. The Clarion has gone steadily on in its policy of being truly a University paper, and under the new management greater successes are certain. With the unanimous student and faculty support it now receives, making friends for the University everywhere, it may well be prophesied that the successes of the greater years that are just at hand for the University will be amply shared by its student paper, The Clarion. President____C. F. Seitter. Vice President...E. N. Edgerton. Secretary.....R. S. Uzzell. Treasurer.........L. D. Beckwith The Association was organized May 27, 1891, in the old building in the city. The first year the membership was small but it has grown steadily. Each year it continues to enroll most of the young men who enter the College of Liberal Arts and the Preparatory school. Since we are at a distance from the down-town departments it is more convenient for them to attend the central department of the Association. The object of the Association is to promote a deep spiritual growth in connection with college training, to emphasize the importance of a systematic Bible study and to develop the highest ideal of noble manhood. It strives to unite the students in one coherent band of Christian workers. After visiting a meeting and hearing the testimonies they suggest the motto: “The world is our country and to do good is our religion.’’ It is our purpose to emphasize the great truth that Jesus should come first and other things afterwards; that he should increase and we must decrease. We mean to let no young man go through school without coming face to face with his responsibility to God. The Association is indeed fortunate in having a number of young ministers among its members who have proven a great source of spiritual power. From time to time ministers from the city and men from abroad address the Association on some religious theme. During the past five years the Association has undertaken the support of a native mission pastor in India. This has required an annual contribution of thirty dollars from the members of the Association. The reports which have been returned through the missionary society of the results of the work of this pastor, Moti, have been most encouraging. He is instrumental each year in leading many souls to the Master. Priwitlftiit......... Sinuith l vk.ua .'hairmao of Mi oo r -Committc .....

Trvaaurrr.............. Alice Amhdkn Ktnkl McCrexry Among the various college functions of the University of Denver none holds so im-; c rtant a place as the Young Women’s Christian Association, for this is the ground on which i ll of the young ladies meet. The spiritual life of the Association is best expressed by the personal motto which been adopted for the year: “I shall pass through this world but once; any good, there- t« re. that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now; - r me not defer nor neglect it. for I shall not pass this way again.” Weekly prayer meetings have been held, led by the students or friends, and the large '.tendance of the members bespeaks the interest felt by them. The social life of the University has been entrusted to a great extent to this Associa-on. and it has been instrumental in bringing the students together in a way that no other r.ranization has been successful in doing. Miss Elise Jones represented the Association in the convention held at Fort Collins. Such intercourse with other Associations impresses upon the members the fact that they form but a branch of an organization which extends its work over the whole world. The adoption of the V. W. C. A. pins has been strongly enforced and now each mem-her wears the little monogram which bears the reference to the much loved motto: “Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit saith the Lord of Hosts.” B.

We met the enemy and—but say! you ought to have seen the faces of the peo-pl the next morning when they got their papers! Not one asked me if we won the debate-A .; ;ept asking if those pictures in the papers were correct—whether that fellow in the cactus ratch ever got the cactus picked out of his back—whether they really hung some of the bo or just tied them. I had a day's fun verifying the imagination of those cartoonists. I ex lined that the reporters all left early so did not tell how the college boys turned the ta s on their captors. Too bad the reporters left! Those fellows would have made a pic-tu bound with their own ropes and walking cactus while we rode in the wagon they were pacing for! ‘Laws o’ Massa!’ exclaimed the old ladies, ‘you don't mean, young man, that th -y gagged them!’ I could have explained that all was in fun; but that would have spoiled tin- xpression on the dear ladies’ faces. So I said, ‘yes'm, o’ course.' The sweet sixteens con 1 not understand why the college fellows got off the car at the railroad track. ‘Didn’t th- know,’ they would ask, ‘that those fellows were not their fellows?’ Poor dears! If we hadn't got the fellows back such questions would have been embarrassing. As it was 1 just lau' hed. My! but how they blushed when I told them that when we were ready to go into the chapel with the prisoners whom we had undressed and put to bed, we gave them less than a cold morning’s allowance of time for dressing, and that we repented it afterwards, it was so cold, and so let them sit near the chapel radiator. Then when I told them that the yelling that greeted the prisoners at the chapel was as warmly given as though they had been in full dress, they changed the subject. Talk about yelling! why we rasped out thirteen throats. I redeemed our reputation, though, with the old ladies when I told them that as the ropes were charged to the captives we left them on their hands.” Portni tyty Debating (Jlub ■ ■ ■ President...................Agnes McNair.

Many a great statesman fifty years ago acknowledged his gratitude to the humble society of elementary or secondary school which gave him his earliest lessons in pub: c speaking and awakened his ambitions for a political career. In this western country, where women as well as men guard the highest interests of the nation, it is fitting that college women should receive an education which will better enable them to perform their part as citizens, or even to take part in public affairs whenever such a course seems wise and necessary. If one of our forefathers of a century ago, who never had heard, even in the loftiest flights of his imagination, a cultured woman address a public assembly, should visit the Fortnightly Debating Club of the University of Denver, he would surely be convinced that a woman can preside over a meeting according to parliamentary rules, and that she can make a formal speech of value and interest to those who hear her. There is no gift of man more worthy of cultivation than the gift of speech. The Fortnightly Debating Club has for its aim the ability to speak well and with dignity upon serious topics. Extemporaneous speeches, debates and parliamentary drills form the chief features of the program. The Club, though small in numbers, is great in activity, and no department of the college has more devoted members. Department of ©ratory The Department of Oratory of the University of Denver was organized in the fall of '97, and has increased in strength and popularity each year. The present year has been especially successful. Numerous public recitals have been given, which have thoroughly demonstrated the excellent work done by the department. Thirty-five private students have been enrolled, and about sixty students of the College of Liberal Arts and Iliff School of Theology have received instruction in classes under the direction of Professor Wetzel. The proficiency of the Director of this department as a public reader and lecturer and as a teacher of the art of Oratory is thoroughly attested by the reputation he has gained throughout the state as an artistic and eloquent speaker, and by the great interest manifest in his work in the College of Liberal Arts, School of Music and the Iliff School of Theology. •John W.

The chapter will start with the seniors The class most envied of all, On account of its close proximity To the grand finale ball. The knowledge of this venerable body Is, no doubt, of high degree, But. methinks, when I recall the quizes. It is not what it ought to be. There is Robinson, the boastful. Who thinks he knows it all. And meek little Hinds and Bennett. Waiting only for Carrie’s call; But she lingers around the doorway About the hour of half-past two, Unmindful of all entreaties Till the postman comes in view. We next meet Lyons and Lesher. Two knights who are very bold. For on the fourteenth day of February a Student A tale of them could be told. And now we come to the brothers Of Dental Depot fame, Who think that their great learning Will add a prefix to their name. Then again, there are Tarbell and Kempton, Of whom it has often been claimed That their time in the infirmary was limited To only days when it rained; While Verzani. the inquisitive. And Langley, the master of air, Are two noted individuals With very peculiar airs. This ends the seniors’ story. The juniors’ turn is next, And to start the ball a rolling. Cain is good for a text. He is a sly little fellow, With curly locks of hair Which is quite a contrast to Winters, Whose monstrous head is bare. We also have two Pankys— A boy and a girl, if you please, And “Willie” and Sirs. Delaney, Quite noted celebrities; While Graham, the lord of creation And monarch of all he surveys, Never tires of speaking of Milwaukee To all of us country jays. Now. Sia, of the Celestial Empire. Is quite winsome in his ways; And Reed, with his far away dreaming. Passes many idle days; But the best part of this story is Appel With his Rose in bloom. 1 ie found it in the infirmary One day past the hour of noon. There is Clark, a particular fellow. And Craine who says, “do it iust so;” But in his monthly talks with “Henry” He simply remarks “I don't know.” And McAtee, the 1 Jean's assistant, Still continues his mimicking ways; While 1 larvie, the meek little angel. Makes one think of bygone days. Bates is next on the program. With his prominent pompadour hair, And when working in the infirmary Thinks he owns the corner chair; Then comes Kerr, the man from Toronto, Who. always at lecture time. Will be found with a little book in hand The farthest back in the line. To close the juniors' story. Ruckman will answer well. For the daily pail we see with him Has become a growler sell ’ And now for our brave little freshmen, Who only number eight; It may be well to speak of them Ere long it will be too late. Baker is quite a scholar; He learns everything by heart: His head is increasing daily And may soon be wheeled in a cart. While Laviolette and Grable, Two youths of high degree, Could just as well keep peace with hi If not so fond of a spree. It has often been said of Nauman, By the girl who sent the spoon, That there is only one sillier mortal And he is the man in the moon. With him we will place Spann and Yo .mi, Two more of our beautiful knights. Who might also thrive well on a spoo; When out very late at night. We will now end this queer little story With Brubaker and Smith, if you please. Two gentlemen who very serenely Have often got down on their knees Just where and for what is a question Which we leave for the reader to gut .

It is entirely dependent for support upon tuition fees paid by the students, and for efficiency on a corps of instructors who act from motives that are certainly n r pecuniary. Still, since its establishment in 1S92, it has graduated about ninety-five students, ii: given more or less legal instruction to some four hundred others, and has taken a high place ;: ng schools of its kind in the West. Since its foundation the school has taken almost all of dn top places at the bi-yearly bar examination, and it prides itself upon the record which shows 11 has never sent a student to the examination who has failed. The course of instruction covers pretty much the whole range of the law. Its extension 0 r three instead of two years, as formerly, allows a fuller treatment of a number of important old subjects, and the admission of several new ones. Thoroughness is the chief virtue of the school, and the combination of the case and text-book systems in use there has much to do with ni king it so. Colorado cases and Colorado statutory provisions are constantly cited and kept in mind, because most of the students expect to practice in this state; but in no sense does the school attempt to make its students peculiarly Colorado lawyers. To be sure, courses are given in mining and irrigation rights, but these are in addition to. rather than in exclusion of. the more widely useful subjects of the common law. Some of the classes are dry and some are interesting, while in all a good average of learning is maintained. The present class will remember particularly Mr. Hillhouse's Equity, Mr. Dines’ Evidence, Mr. Hoyt’s Sales and Private Corporations, Mr. Moore’s Contracts, Mr. Char piot’s Lectures on Constitutional Law. Mr. Hillhouse makes his interesting subject more interesting. and gives so much out of his philosophic knowledge of Equity that the student feels, when he loses a lecture, that he has lost not only some legal facts, but also a new point of view Mr. Dines has in a high degree the faculty of making a condensed rule of evidence mean something. I le shows its application, importance, reason and essential parts in a way that makes them stick to one’s memory. Mr. Hoyt teaches his classes to distinguish cases, and is especially good at making students reason things out on principle. Mr. Moore amplifies his text, and answers collateral questions in such an exhaustive and accurate way that the class gets a most comprehensive view of that important subject of Contracts. Mr. Charpiot this year delivered several delightful off-hand lectures on certain phases of Constitutional Law that were chiefly valuable as showin. the influence of political science on his subject. •uplor ?la88 of Softool of I uaK • • Music i chool • • ■■■ REPORT OF ANANIAS CLUB.” President.....................................Etebrally Lyiro Power .

We, the Juniors of the School of Music, come before the public with a feeling of modesty, having been heard heretofore only for our much practising. And there are so few of us too; only six among the two hundred and one students in our school; but among us are to be found the best “Theorys and the highest “Motifs,” which, being put into practice, cause “Harmony” to prevail. All this, however, does not cause us to feel very much superior to our fellow students of the other schools of the University, for among us are the brilliant, less brilliant and least brilliant as among them; but we are proud of our faculty which has all “Powers” necessary to teach the science of music. FIRST FACULTY, DENVER UNIVERSITY Preparatory 0ffi ;er8 ai)d Board bescfye SReues v3Ihis Society was organized November 21, 1899, by the Loyal Preps, and on February 22, 1 following, was held the first entertainment, at the School of Music. Beauty and bravery filled the reception rooms. Thrilling accounts of adventure were told to anxious hearts. Some young gentlemen had dressed for adventure, and were lingering about dark corners, evading the policemen and watching for prey—i. e.—Preps. Before being discovered, to the amazement of the would-be conquerors, the Preps were aboard the car. • • • The battle was short, hot, and as usual, the Lavender and Purple came off victorious, waving to the musical accents (f a Prep yell. At the entertainment a shrill whistle broke on the happy but excited hearts, whii to them meant, “To arms! to arms! They come! they come! As one man, Lesche Skeues rar out to find—a laughing sentinel. Then followed a program which displayed so much genius th.i the audience was lost in admiration. The orators addressed us in a style which doubtless cause, the venerable shades of Cicero and Demosthenes “to groan in spirit, as their fame was eclipsed Great Chopin was recalled to earth by the rendering of one of his waltzes. Joyful tears rolled down his ghostly cheeks as he realized its new sweetness and charm. As Paganini wandered on the desolate shores of the Styx, his acute ear caught the strains which the violinist drew from h -: instrument, and he murmured: It is evident that the girls know how to manage beaux, I mean bows, better than they did in my days. Since the appearance of “The Quartette the great singers of the day are discouraged. After this unusual exhibition of talent and delightful refreshments served, we adjourned. That night in the dreams of many Preps the affair was relived with variations. One dreamed that in the midst of the program Dean Howe appeared. Instantly a deathlike silence fell upon the assembly. Clearing his throat he read in a voice of solemn majesty, every word fraught with a world of meaning: “An important meeting of all Preparatory students at twelve-ten, to-day. 1 here is a class of students, In the halls of classic lore Of Denver University Far from the ocean's shore. We do not call them Seniors, i.They wear gowns long, loose and wide nd a cap with four square corners. With a tassel down the side.) '.or do we call them Freshmen, Though they will be some sweet day. For they learn Beginning Latin Very swift, the teachers say. Their population’s very dense, Being some four score or more. But when they come to chapel You’d think there were a hundred or more. In war these folks are very brave. Having conquered other tribes Of Seniors. Juniors, Freshs and Sophs, Who oft their bluffs'' have tried. The state in which these people live Is a state of expectation. They expect most anything to come, Without fear or consternation. They have a man called president, The busiest of men. He writes out all announcements For “a meeting at twelve-ten.’’ They have a clerk and treasurer too. Though hr scarcely needs to mind, For quarters in the treasury Are pretty hard to find. But lest you should not comprehend Just who these people are. I’ll tell the secret here to you. And you may tell it far. Other nations call them “Preps,” But why I cannot tell. Unless because they're always prepared. And always do it well. So now I’ll close my story. With a few words of advice. If e'er you try to “rope” these folks, You’ll never try it twice. Or if you try to snub them You must remember, too. That there are other pebbles on the beach. That are just as round as you. M. L. W. eAdeljatyan Isite ary Society M M BERS: Edv. n Green. W. .
