FRED PETE ROULLARD 1£4259 Dedicated to the Ninth Legislature of the State of Idaho whose liberal policy toward the University has made possible the erection of the uew Administration Building NEW ADMINISTRATION BUILDING 1 4259 PREFACE Those to whom the class of 1908 entrusted the editing of this, its yearbook, have followed the well defined precedents in determining what they should put into the book and what they should keep out. Those precedents are, briefly, that the junior annual shall include eve- rything important in the student life of one college year, and that the presentation of the material shall be made in the way which will most effectively recall the year’s events to one reading the book in after times. Of course such a book furnishes only the framework around which the memories of its readers reconstruct the life of the college year which it chronicles. The present volume seeks to present in the main this usual subject matter, but with some freshness of treatment. For instance, a change which we believe is for the better is the com- pression of the material relating to lower college classes, and the pre- paratory school into less space, and the elimination of the usual general writeups given to those classes. The increase, on the other hand, in space given to the seniors in order to include statistical questions on a wide range of subjects is believed to be an equally desirable innovation in an Idaho annual, and one which we hope future editors will ap- prove and copy. The editing of the yearbook of 1906-1907 has not been an unusu- ally difficult task. Development has been evident in all phases of University life, but it has not been extraordinarily rapid. The effects of the destruction of the Administration building by fire in March, 1906, have been evident in a temporary cessation of the exuberance of progress which was felt in every department of student life up till that time. It seemed appropriate, for instance, that the class of 1906, which graduated one month after the fire, should take with it those who had been the strength of the football team, and that we should have to begin, in the fall, the slow process of building up our next con- quering eleven almost entirely from new recruits. One pleasing ex- ception has been that the remarkably successful record of our Univer- sity debating teams has this year been well sustained. In addition, the enrollment of students this year shows a satisfactory increase over that of 1905-06. } In other things, a slower, although sure, growth has displaced the more brilliant progress of the days before the fire. Special acknowledgment is due to J. G. Martin, Miss Esther Lar- son and Rowe Holman for assistance in the form of drawing. ‘The business manager wishes also to acknowledge appreciation of the very considerable assistance rendered to him by T. Estel Hunter. The staff itself is also deserving of commendation for faithful and efficient service. —THE EDITOR BOARD OF REGENTS GrorGE C.

GOLD and BLUE! � SENIORS It has been the custom heretofore for each senior class to make its appearance in the yearbook heralded by a long narration of the won- derful deeds they have done, and of the greatness—in their own estima- tion—of their existence at the University of Idaho. It is but a matter of evolution that such trivial matter as this must in time give way to something more substantial—something that, while it has the spirit of mirth and jest which is supposed to prompt these boastful prefaces, yet has a kernel of deeper worth, something which has the true seriousness of life in it. And so the senior class of 1907 are to be the ones to take this first long stride—not to be sure, because they have no prowess to boast of, for all their deeds can be found recorded in the succeeding pages of this book. You need only turn to the departments of debate, of athletics, of student organizations, of military, of prizes and schol- arships, to find that the seniors claim their share of honors. It is rather because they prefer to leave with us some of the seriousness which they get from life. To this end they have furnished the annual staff with statistics, with their views on certain questions concerning the welfare of the University, with personal estimates of themselves and their instructors. The results which follow are the sum total of the answers received and do not show fully the diversity of opinion which existed in some cases. This is the way they have decided : The average expenses of the seniors’ four years in college were: Freshman, $235; Sophomore, $255; Junior, $280; Senior, $322. The lowest expenses of any one student were: Freshman, $125; Soph- omore, $160; Junior, $225; Senior, $250. ‘The highest expenses of any cne student were: Freshman, $325; Sophomore, $340; Junior, $350; Senior, $400. One-half of the seniors have kept a cash account of their expenses while in college. One-half of them have paid all their way through college; about one-third of them have paid part, while the very small remaind er have not depended upon themselves at all. The means by which they earned this money are many. Some 20 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS earned it by work during the summer vacations, by work during the school year; some by staying out a year. Some taught school, taught music, some tutored students in special work; some borrowed; some obtained scholarships. In the summer time they worked in the mines, in the hayfields, in surveying camps, in electrical establishments; dur- ing the school year they did janitor work, office work, stenography, waited on table, did practical work in the electrical department by way of wiring and lighting the buildings on the campus. In the words of the seniors themselves they obtained their money ‘‘from the parental strong box,’’ ‘‘by grafting the old folks,” ‘‘by copping crooks and shinning poles.”’ Three persons out of every five think that the secret society sys- tem at Idaho is on the whole having a commendable effect. Practically all recognize that there is both good and evil in the system. Seventy per cent of the seniors think that a boys’ dormitory would make a beneficial addition to our equipment; only one person is completely opposed to the idea; the remainder think it is not a pressing need at present. At a ratio of four to one they have decided that the preparatory department should be separated from the college. There is some difference of opinion as to the best means of obtain- ing an athletic field. One-half of them think it must be obtained by contributions from students and alumni, or at least as one says ‘‘in no other way.’’ Others think the ‘‘citizens of Moscow should help,’’ that the matter should be ‘taken up by the A. S. U. I.’”’ The concensus of opinion seems to be that the elective system in force at present in our curriculum is the best. Some think the system “should be made more flexible;’’ that it is proper to have ‘‘elective courses, but not free electives; that there should be ‘‘more free elec- tives than we have here, but not an entirely elective system.”’ Two-thirds of the seniors will take post-graduate work. They will distribute themselves among the Universities of Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Michigan, Wisconsin, Colorado, Boston Technological School, and University of Chicago. University of Washington has been voted the most popular college next to Idaho for undergraduate work. Among the seniors wil] be found teachers, Y. M. C, A. workers, scientists, mining engineers, electrical engineers, civil engineers, min- isters, pharmacists, horticulturists, chemists, farmers, sports. CLASSES—SENIORS 21 The Freshman year has been voted the hardest year the seniors had to contend with. They are a class noted for their modesty in some respects. This is especially so in regard to their vocal talents. Only two were willing to acknowledge that they could not sing at all, while but one was willing to say unreservedly that he possessed that ability. Others possess the ability in varying degrees, as the following indicates: ‘‘A little,’’ ‘‘Sometimes,’’ ‘‘N—ot when anyone is near,’’ ‘‘I should say not,’”’ ‘‘Too modest to say,” “Sure, when they'll let me,’’ ‘‘No, Josh does that,’’ ‘‘Yes!!! Yes!! Basso Profundi, immer schon.”’ ‘ The Marble Fawn’’ has been voted the favorite novel of the sen- iors. Others of interest are ‘‘Daring Dave’s Desperate Dash,’’ ‘“Tom Jones’’ (with apologies to T. R.), ‘‘One I wrote myself,’’ ‘‘Miss Son- na,’’ ‘‘The Dread and Dismal Swamp.”’ Before chronicling the following results it will be well to make a statement. The individual members of the facnlty whose names ap- pear here are asked neither to go into ecstacies nor to become despond- ent and commit suicide, for you who have fared well know not how little you may have lacked of faring ill on some other question, and as for you who have fared ill, your bosoms would swell with pride if you were to know how nearly you came to winning out in some more lucky place. Professor Morley has been voted by a great majority to be the most popular professor. The electrical engineers consider Pro- fessor Sheldon to be the best instructor; the miners and B. S. students have bestowed the honor upon Professor Little; the A. B.’s have given the palm to Professor Hulme. Dean Eldridge has been voted at once the most broad-minded man and the hardest worker in the Faculty. The most difficult man to whom to recite is Professor Little, with Professor Peters a close second. Professor Janes and Professor Cogswell for a time ran a neck-to-neck race to decide which was the easiest man to bluff, but Professor Cogswell finally won out. Tommy Matthews has been voted the handsomest man in school; Hazel Morrow the handsomest girl. One person suggests that every- one look in the mirror. In spite of the apparent inconsistency with the above, it has been decided that the homeliest man and homeliest girl are to go together as a bad case—it’s Tommy and Lucy. Others think the U. I. has none; some evidently think they will be considered ser- rious when they answer ‘‘nie.’’ Jim Frazier and Josh Jensen divide honors as the windiest person 22 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS in school. The vote for laziest person went to Stewart Campbell with hardly a rival. Tom Galloway has been voted the person in the ’07 class most likely to succeed. The most interesting and the most worthy answers received were on the question as to the methods to be used in dealing with cribbing. The oneness of the answers leads one to believe that they must have weight in the settlement of this all-important problem. Every answer is based on some phase of the honor system. ‘The plan as outlined by the complete vote is that the A. S. U. I. must take the matter in charge, must establish some sort of honor system, must develop a stu- dent sentiment against cheating, and must then ostracize those offenders who have no sense of honor. ; CLASSES—SENIORS 23 NORMAN BROWN ADKINSON, B.S.

THE CLASS OF 1908 ITS BOOK It is well that certain circumstances of which we prefer not to speak prevent the publication of the complete memoirs of the class of 1908. Such a record would have to be written on asbestos and read with the aid of a telescope. Even then some of the recent arrivals, namely the class of roro, might find difficulty in understanding all the allusions. The chronicle of the doings of this great class, as ‘given here, is only the barest record of a few of the episodes which have made life interesting during the past three years. At the first class meeting of which the secretary’s book contains any record, in the Freshman year, the class took one of the momen- tous steps of its career. It adopted an official class hat. The hats were ordered and all Freshmen were soon wearing them. Now those skypieces were gorgeous creations. The crown was cardinal, the rim red on the upper side and black on the under side. On the front of the crown were three mysterious characters which suggested irresistibly the thought that roosters must have made them by walking through a puddle of black ink and then dancing a sailors’ hornpipe on the hats. Our friends enjoyed the Leadgear. In fact they coveted those hats for souvenirs. A minute inspection of the trunks of certain people who are not ’08's would be likely to resurrect many of them yet. On NovemLer 2, 1904, the class held another well remembered meeting. The secretary’s book contains this sentence, ‘‘Motion made that no class functions of other classes be disturbed by the Freshman class. Not carried.’ At the same meeting an honorary member of the faculty was elected. Prof. D’ Arey P. Parham was the first nomi- nee. It is well for the class of ’og that Prof. P. sought pastures new before they entered the University He was a terror to blockheads and other unfortunates. So great an awe did the ’o8’s feel for him that they feared to elect any faculty member without at least nominat- ing him. The unspeakable terror of all blockheads was defeated. 34 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS The successful nominees were Dr. C. A. Peters and Miss Gertrude Jenkins. The wily conspiracy of the class, thus to make a match be- tween two of the most popular unmarried members of the faculty, failed ignominiously. Dr. Peters hied away to California for his bride. Miss Jenkins imported a young man who had graduated from Stan- ford, and taken post graduate work at Cornell, got him a position as professor of history, and married him. She was never forgiven. Dr. Peters’ crime was, however, overlooked, and he has been ever since the most efficient faculty advisor that any Idaho class ever had. The rest of the Freshman year passed swiftly. The glee was given in the winter, and was a success financially, altho’ no other big dance that year failed to leave a deficit to its promoters. The 17th of March came round; ‘o8 appeared on the campus with shoes shining yellow. The cowardly cohorts of 07 came tremblingly forth, with not a shred of the traditional green to be seen on their persons. By this expedient, they were able to say at the close of a long and fierce battle that no- body had torn any colors offof them. ‘That was about all that was left for them to say when ’o8 let them go. The history of '08’s Sophomore year is even more exciting, Al- most the first stunt the class executed was a hayride to Joel. Fitting preliminaries were indulged in by all the boys of the class. Hordes of Freshmen were met and vanquished before the Sophomores all collected at the starting place. Space does not permit the narration of other ep- isodes of the evening. The secretary’s book records the fact that, at a meeting on Octo- ber 19, 1905, a motion to allow a bill for proclamations was passed. The bill amounted to something over $9. Later in the year a bill for handcuffs was allowed. Ata meeting on December 6, 1905, the fol- lowing resolution was passed: ‘‘Be it resolved that we, the Sopho- more class of the University of Idaho, do hereby discountenance the action taken by the members of the class in the late Freshman-Sopho- more controversy, especially in the painting of Freshman Jay Jellick on Thursday night, November 23, although the consequences of said action have not resulted seriously; that we do hereby volunteer all in- formation in regard to the matter, desired by the University faculty; that we do hereby condemn all forms of hazing in the University here- after; and that we do, one and all, asa class, stand responsible and open to punishment for the offense of Thursday night, November 23, 1905.’ Proof was immediately forthcoming that this attitude of con- trition was meeting with national approval. At a meeting on Decem- CLASSES—JUNIORS 35 ber 14, the class president read a letter from a lady in Touchet, Wash- ington, which ran as follows: ‘““TOUCHET, WASHINGTON, Dec. 11, 1905. ‘To the Sophomore Class of the U. of I., Moscow, Idaho. “Respected Gentlemen:— “T cannot refrain from expressing my profound admiration for your recent declaration in the much-to-be-lamented case of hazing at your institution. , ‘“‘Your noble manly confession and retraction of the disgraceful affair, should be made an established record, for precedent, for all that is grand and good; and that resolution ‘to bereby condemn all forms of hazing in the University hereafter,’ should be emblazoned in letters of gold on our national banner. % “IT hope when you young men become law makers you will carry the noble sentiment of your present resolution to the ballot box and never cease the struggle until every secret order charter is annulled and the open door to friendship, love, and truth is impartially estab- lished, ere we see our country’s disintegration and our national death. ‘With highest esteem I subscribe myself, “Mrs. M. M. BuRNAP, ““Touchet, Wash,”’ A peaceful annual staff election was held December 19, 1905. On February 13, '06, the treasurer gave his semi-annual report. It show- ed that the class’s expenditures and receipts ran well over $100. A balance of 45 cents was in the treasury. Such were the prominent events in the 1908’s first two years of existence. Its Junior year is an open book which all are able to pe- ruse. The deeds of valor which its heroes have performed on ’ Varsity teams, the neat surplus left over after all Prom expenses were met, and sundry other of its exploits are known toall. Let the scribes of og now wax busy, and keep the record till time to print it in the Gem of the Mountains, ’cg. 36 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS ELMERJAMES ARMSTRONG —Genesee; Idaho Preparatory De- partment; ’Varsity football team, (1, 2, 3); track team, (2); Athletic Board, (3); president Junior Class, 2nd semester, (3); Kappa Phi AI- pha.

ATHLETIC BOARD Gustus LupwiG LARSON, '07 THOMPSON DUNLAP MATTHEWS, '07 GEORGE HERBERT WYMAN, '07 ELMER JAMES ARMSTRONG, ’08 FRANK MAGEE, '09 CLARENCE SINCLAIR EDMUNDSON, ’09 60 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS INTRODUCTORY At Idaho, as at any other institution, the athletic teams are en- titled to the encouragement and support of both faculty and students. So far this year it does not seem that the faculty and students have given athletics the attention which is due. Although the football and basketball reverses of the past season may be attributed to different causes, this indifference probably played an important part. Idaho should have}more men on her athletic fields. There should be keener competition. Our motto should be ‘‘Every man turn out.”’ Each man should be made to feel that his presence is needed. More interclass contests and more matches for our second teams are needed to bring out and develop new material, and to keep athletics constant- ly before the student mind. Intercollegiate class matches should be encouraged as much as possible. In the future more credit should be given to our teams and more honor attached to their accomplishments; neglect of this has been one of our chief faults in the past. ‘The stu- dents in general should show more manifestations of the appreciation they feel for their athletes. Our resources are steadily increasing, and each year should be more successful than the preceding year. Idaho has accomplished wonders in the past and we believe that her future is still more promising. Much credit is due the student body for the loyal way it backs the teams while on the field, for Idaho has the most loyal bunch of rooters in the Northwest. Nowhere is a team more strongly supported, when they are meeting with reverses and are in need of support, than at Idaho. ‘There is no ‘‘quitter’ among them. When the students come to realize fully that their interest and support is needed every day on the practice field as well as on the day of the final contest, Idaho will put out athletic teams that will give her a still higher rank among the colleges of the Northwest.

Of the eleven men that made up the champion- ship team of 1905 four graduated, two others did not come back to school and still another failed to turn out for practice, thus leaving on- ly four of the former team, Considering these facts, most of the stu- dents seemed to lose interest and very few men came out for practice, although it was an ideal season so far as weather was concerned. John Middleton was secured to help coach and as soon as the fa- mous captain of last year’s team appeared on the campus everyone seemed to regain interest and by the time the first game came a good amount of college spirit made itself manifest. This first game was with Spokane Athletic Club, which was composed of good individual players but lacked teamwork and therefore lost to Idaho by a score of 10 to 5. As this was Idaho's first game under the new rules very few new plays were used, in fact both teams played the old style of football al- most entirely. With ten yards to be made in three downs kicking be- came a large feature of the game. The second game was with Coeur d'Alene High School. By a comparison of scores the High School boys had decided that they could win from Idaho and came here feeling very confident but before the first half had much more than begun they were forced to the con- clusion that a high school or business college team was something en- tirely different from a collegeteam. They went home a sadder but wiser lot of boys with the smail end of a 23 to o score to their credit. The third game of the season but the first intercollegiate game was played at home with the University of Oregon. Oregon had ATHLETICS 63 worked up a team that was a wonder. Every man was a star and eight of them had been together for two or three seasons and had secured team work that is seldom seen. Both teams took almost no advantage of the new rules, and yardage was made but a few times during the game. Idaho’s defense was splendid considering the relative weights of the teams and during the whole game Oregon was not able to cross our goal line. Whenever the ball was secured in Idaho’s territory by the ‘‘Webfooters’’ a try at goal was made and three times out of five Moullen sent the pig-skin between the posts, thus winning by a score of 12 too. Our team put up such a good game that, although we were de- feated, every one seemed to feel that it wasalmost as good as a victory and rejoiced in the pluck of the light team that stood up so well against Oregon’s hard line plunges. The game with W. S. C., the fourth on the schedule, was played at Pullman on a field that was ankle deep with mud. Again both teams played the old style football and the heavy pig-skin was often passed back and forth. Idaho played the same plucky game that she had with Oregon and, had the field been dry, would have stood an even chance of winning from her heavier opponents. Luck, how- ever, seemed to favor the State College boys and they rejoiced in a 10 o score, thus winning from Idaho for the first time in four years. Before the time for the fifth game, that with Whitman, came around, the coaches had come to the conclusion that Idaho must adopt new tactics and make use of the new rules if she were to win with her light team. Accordingly several entirely new plays were brought out and worked with more or less success. From a spectator’s standpoint this game was the best of the season. It was played on a dry field and was very close, both teams trying new plays to such an extent that it wasa surprise to every one. A costly fumble, however, turned the balance in Whitman’s favor and caused them to rejoice in a score of 6to 5. ‘This was the first time that the ‘‘Missionaries’’ had adminis- tered a defeat to Idaho in four years and there was great rejoicing in Walla Walla that night. The sixth and last game of the season was played with the Uni- versity of Washington at Seattle before a large crowd and on a fast field. In this game both teams departed from the old style plays and some idea ot what the game will be like under the new rules in a year or two was obtained. The forward pass and trick plays were used continually and the spectators were kept in a continual state of excite- ment, not knowing what was coming next. Not until the last whistle blew was the game decided one way or the other. A misunderstand- ing of the rules by Idaho gave Washington a touchdown on the first kickoff and later a fumbled punt gave heranother. These with one other gave her 16 points. Idaho went through Washington’s line for one touchdown and with one of the prettiest drop kicks from the 37 yard line ever seen in the Northwest scored nine points. Although Idaho did not win an intercollegiate game this year she demonstrated beyond a doubt that she has the material for a winning team and with all the men back but the two who graduate this year Idaho can look forward to a successful season next year. 64 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS FOOTBALL COACH It is seldom that a coach makes the name for himself that Ida- ho’s football coach, John George Griffith, has at so smalla school as Idaho. Taking a squad of men about one- quarter to one third as large as oth- er coaches have at theschools which Idaho meets each year, he turns out a team that every year shows up well and often leads in the race for honors on the gridiron. Many of us have known ‘‘Pink”’ so long that we feel that we have always known him, but for those of us who have not been so fortunate we might say that he comes from — the University of Iowa, at which school he was captain of their championship team of 1900, when Iowa was at the head of the line in the middle West. He also played in the basketball team the four years he was in school and captained it the last two years. He graduated in 1900 from the B. S. course. He spent the year of 1901-02 at Simpson College, Iowa, having charge of athletics and serv- ing as instructor in biological science. Since the fall of 1902 he has been at Idaho working the football, bas- ketball and baseball teams. Coach Griffith has served as official upon many occasions in the Northwest and has always given the best of satisfaction as well as making many friends for himself wherever he has gone. Although he is always friendly with all the teams which represent other schools he is heart and soul loyal to Idaho. ATHLETICS 65 JOHN ROBERT MIDDLETON Of Assistant Coach John R. Middleton little need be said, for all of us who at- tended school during the time “Mid” was playing football for Idaho know him to be one of the best if not the best foot- ball man in the Northwest. He is prob- ably the best known football player in this part of the United States. He entered Idaho asa Sophomore from Simpson College, Iowa, and graduated from the B. A. course in 1906. It took very little talk to persnade Middleton to come back and help pull Idaho out of a hole last fall, and to him a fair share is due for the showing Ida- ho's light team made the past season. In working up and perfecting new plays Mid has few superiors and we bespeak exceptional success for him if he chooses to take up coaching as a profession, GUSTUS LUDWIG LARSON Gus Larson, left tackle and captain, is perhaps the most consistent line man Idaho has ever had and his loss will be felt more than can be told. The team has always had the utmost confidence in him and always did their best to make a “hole’’ when “Gus” carried the ball, and always went into it hard when 'Gus ' was called upon to open the way, as they could always depend upon him to do his best, and that wasa lot. He has several times made the All-Northwest team. Last season made seven years in the team for him and for the last three or four he has probably been the most pop- ular man in college. Besides being an exceptionally good football man he isa splendid student and graduates from the B.S. (E. E ) course this year. 66 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS ELMER JAMES ARMSTRONG Elmer J. Armstrong, right half and next year captain, has few equals and no superiors asa half back, in the North- west. Elmer seldom has very much to say but he always has a lot to do, and the best part about it is that he always does it. He has represented Idaho on the gridiron three years and every year has done all that was expected of him and more. ‘‘Armie,’’ as he is commonly known, is an exceptionally strong man on defense, being a sure tackler, and when carrying the ball is very hard to stop. Idaho will be well represented next year with Armstrong to head the bunch. RODNEY LEO SMALL Rodney Small, left half back, first put on the Idaho uniform last year and play- ed full back on the championship team, He isan exceptionally hard tackler and is always in the game from start to fin- ish. Rodney is a kicker of no mean ability and made quite a name for him- self in the Washington game when he scored a goal from a drop kick from the He is heavy enough fora good half and can always be depended upon to take and knocks. As Small this year we may expect much from him 35 vard line. give lots of hard is but a Freshman before he finishes his three more seasons. ATHLETICS 67 CLYDE CLEVELAND OAKES Clyde C. Oakes, right tackle, held the position of right end upon the '03 and ‘05 teams and showed up very well at tackle this year, Although too light for a tackle he “got his man’’ as often as otherwise and could always be depended upon. Wherever he may be needed next year Idaho may be sure that she has a good man there, SAMUEL LEIGH SAVIDGE Leigh Savidge, left end, received his first knowledge of football in the Boise High School and continued his education along that line upon the U, of I, campus under “Griff’s’’ competent instruction. He played half and end at different times on the 1905 second team and was looked upon as one of the hardest hitters on the campus. He isa sure tackler and always gets the interference when he goes after it. We may be sure that he will defend the Silver and Gold in a roy- al manner in the two years he has yet to play. 68 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS HOWARD EDWARD STEIN with the University first team, but by no means season at football. He This is Stein's first season was it his first began his football career at the Boise High School and has held the position of centre on the University second team for two years. Stein has always had the name of making his passes good, and when we consider that this is his first season in intercollegiate football there is no doubt in our minds that he has ‘‘made good.” He has one more year in college and we may count on his filling the po- sition of centre next year with credit to himself as well as to Idaho. WILLIAM ENDERLE ROBERTSON Although this was Robertson's first year on the Varsity team he showed up excep- tionally well. He has played some foot- ball every year he has been at school and last year played quarter for the sec- ond team. He knows his men and uses his head well in directing the game and at all times has the confidence of his team mates. Playingin the back field he made a splendid record in returning punts and as this year's football was made up to quite a degree of kicking, the back field on defense was a responsi- ble place and “Billy Rob,”’ ed, filled it well. as he is call- ATHLETICS 69 HENRY SMITH Henry Smith, left guard, commonly known as “Hercules,’’ came back to school last fall feeling very ‘‘football- some’? as he expressed it and went into the game with his usual earnestness and vigor. Henry was in one game last year and was looked upon this year as one of the team’s mainstays, and in no particular did he disappoint his team mates or the enthusiasts He is a very consistent player and his Herculean strength never seemed to fail him and he was there just as har] when the last whistle blew as when the first one was sounded. Being a Freshman every one expects wonders from him before he leaves school. WALTER WILLIAM STOKESBERY William Stokesbery wears the big ‘'l” for the first time this year. At first it was thought by those who were supposed to know that ‘Stokes,’’ as he is always called, was too heavy and slow to play good football, but when given ao chance he proved to be one of the best line men Idaho had on last year's team. As right guard he surprised every one by his quickness and head work, and it was sel- dom that he allowed even the quickest and best opponent to get the better of him, As he is only a Freshman we may ex- pect much from him before he lays aside the football togs. 70 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS KARL LLEWELLYN KEYES Karl Keyes, who held down the posi- tion of fullback this year, played full- back on the 1904 and 1905 teams and was substitute last year. He can stand lots of hard knocks and showed up very well atend on defense this season. He was called upon todo the punting for the team this year, as Small had a bad knee. Although he is not an expert at this he compared fairly well with the men whom Idaho met this last fall. GEORGE WALLACE ARMSTRONG George Armstrong, right end, put on the moleskins to defend the Silver and Gold in intercollegiate contests for the first time this year, He has attended the Prep. department here two years anda half and has played on the Prep. team and was elected captain of that team last fall, but when he went to the first team squad he had to give up the honor. He played on the second team both seasons before he made the first team He can always be depended upon to break the interference and on offense to get the charge on his man. Considering his weight “Little Armie” is hard to beat, ATHLETICS 71 CHARLES MOMAN JOHNSON Charles Johnson, substitute balf back, is a small man who wearsa big “‘I’’ for the first time this season. Althongh small he has the required amount of nerve and distinguished himself in the Washington game by his splendid open field work in returning punts. ‘‘Chick”’ will make some of the best of them hustle for a place on next year's team. PROCTOR K. PERKINS Proctor Perkins, substitute guard, re- joices in the honor of wearing an ‘I,’ He has played on the second team two years and this season made all the trips with the first teamt. Proctor is light for line man, but under the new rules we may expect to see him hold his own with the best of them. As he is only a Freshman this year he will undoubtedly win a place for himself on the first team before he leaves college. Mewseqi ted Meotwandags « Raotond . HNV 2) , YIV a€.LOO a OHY CI-NOORAO ay ' TRACK AND FIELD 74 GEM OF TILK MOUNTAINS TRACK ATHLETICS This year, as in all previous years, Idaho will be bandicapped in track athletics The lack ofa suitable field upon which to train js a serious drawback to our track team. Last year condi- tions were better than they had ever been before because we had an experienced coach. This year the team will be aided by the gymuasium instructor, but the lack of a good track for training will be felt more keenly than be- fore on account of the obstruc- tions on the campus. Notwithstanding these difficul- ties Coach Vander Veer and Cap- tain Matthews built up a track team which triumphed over old rivals, the Washington State Col- lege. In this meet Idaho won the relay—the first relay won by Idaho in five years. The next meet was the triangular meet at Seattle between the Universities of Washington, Oregon and Ida- ho. Oregon hada remarkably fast team and succeeded in landsliding most of the points. Oregon got Ke Pees eight firsts, F acluding he nice CAPTAIN MATTHEWS Washington four, and Idaho one. Owing to the success of the first triangular meet it was decided to make it an annual event and it is safe to say that it will be watched with interest by all the colleges in the Northwest. At this early date it is impossible to forecast the outcome of the track season with any degree of accuracy. But a few facts may be noted. Idaho’s team will be much stronger this year than last. Cap- tain Matthews, who last year proved to have exceptional ability as a cap- tain, will again lead the mountaineer team. We have most of last year’s team with us this year and there are many new men who will be able to reflect credit upon the Silver and Gold. Our hopes of victory in the triangular meet are very small indeed since Oregon has most of last year’s championship team, and she also has new men to strengthen weak places. Since the schedule has not yet been completed it is im- possible to say how many meets Idaho will have this season. Owing to the way in which the work of getting an athletic field has progressed it is hard to say when Idako will have a track for train- ing. But it is hoped that in the near future it will be secured so that the handicap will be removed from our team and Idaho be placed on an equal footing with the other colleges of the Northwest. 76 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS HARLAN D. McCHESNEY Our gymnasium instructor comes from Burlington, Iowa, where he graduated from the high school in 1901. While in the high school he took great interest in athletics and played on the football team of which he was captain in his last year. He was interested in baseball, but spent most of his time during the spring with the track team. Becoming proficient in the gymnasium Mr. McChesney was made assistant in the Burlington Y. M. C. A., and served in that capacity for several years. While connected with the Y. M. C. A., he was for two years a mem- ber of the state championship athletic team, holding the medal for the best individual athlete in 1904. In 1905-1906 he coached the Burling- ton high school track team. Mr. McChesney is an enthusiastic member of the national guards of Iowa, this being his sixth year of enlistment. While he was with his company he had charge of the athletics of that organization and had a gymnasium class in the company armory.

All the old team with one exception were back and several of last year's “subs’’ were showing up well. Two or three new men with good records came in and things looked as if Id- aho was going to have a banner season at basketball. The practice games all went off as well as could be expected, but Idaho seemed to go on the rocks in the first inter- collegiate game with W. S. C. Perhaps it was the result of over confidence. However, the boys seemed to have lost their heads and the game went against Idaho. In the second game of the season, that with Whitman, the boys seem- ed to have a better hold on their nerves and played such good ball GEORGE HERBERT WYMAN that the ‘Missionaries’ left with CAPTAIN the small end of the score. After being defeated by Idaho, Whitman played W. S. C. the next day and defeated her. Then came the second game with W. S. C. In this game the boys seemed to be all together and played good consistent basketball. Bet- ter team work was shown than in any of the other games and the fel- lows all seemed to be there all the time. The game was close from be- ginning to end and everyone felt sure that Idaho would have won out had there been a minute or two more to play. When the whistle blew the score stood 18 to 14 in W. S. C.’s favor. Idaho loses two of her best men this year, so it will be up to eve- ryone who ever played basketball at all to get out and work hard fora position in the team’next year. If the proper spirit is shown by every- one in supporting the team we can have a good one next year, as we still have the material in school for a winner. Basketball, like all oth- er athletics, must be backed by every University student if we are to compete successfully with other schools of the Northwest. 83 THAT SURPRISING FOOTBALL SCORE 84 THE GAMES March 29 52+ ees dew ees sweyerees + «907 ewistons.:N. at Lewiston M@rch'30:. e5).-cyites, ote ere cnn she nea ear eston at Clarkston April 2, 4,21, T3cces sens cemees cone cease Butte League at Moscow ApHil 20 ovsksoe egetine eee None Ur seatio eR ROsALIB at Rosalia A pril?26 ° 0354 secs vawe seniniscne Ae mae Onegon at: MOSCOW April 27:00 ei. se pee eeelsiee 6 Wie eisiee vis eee «ts ee COlfax at Colfax May 3 os eswisenyiweabes NOM! she Gmnnagea we Were Oo-at Pullman MAy 4 ovis cpeveseuiys culepinw tees vss 850 CWISOD IO.

More enthusiasm was manifested over baseball than ever before, and more of the right spirit, which goes a long way to help ath- letics, was shown. Last year’s team was composed partly of former wearers of the Varsity suits, while several of the important positions were filledyby new men. Among the old men were Roosevelt, Cap- tain Middleton and Hansen, com- posing the pitching staff; Robertson and Hunter in the infield; and Wy- man, Magee, Gal loway in the out- field. Among the new men on the team were Jellick, Johnson, Num- bers, Small, and Savidge. In regard to the team of this sea- son, Idaho can be congratulated on having as representatives such a group of skilled players. Nearly all of last year’s team are in college this year and under the guidance of Coach J. G. Griffith, assisted by Dr. Axtell, Idaho should have a team that is second to no college team in the Northwest. Among the new men who will try for posi- tions on the team are: Fluharty, outfield; Crom, Hupp, Williams and Curtis, infield; Burley, Samuels, Dippel, on the pitching staff. Although Roosevelt and Middleton, last year’s two strongest pitchers, are not in college this year, the three above-named pitchers, with Han- sen of last year’s team will compose a pitching staff that can be ex- celled by no college. Manager Jellick has arranged a schedule which will give the team an opportunity to meet the best in the class and with the perfect har- mony which prevails on the team, and which is so essential to success, and with the ability they have thus far displayed, there is no doubt that the team of 1907 will set a high standard and bring well-merited praise to Idaho, HAROLD LUCIUS AXTELL “ASSISTANT COACH GYMNASIUM EDWARD MASLIN HULME DEBATE COACH UNIVERSITY DEBATE COUNCIL NORMAN Brown ADKISON, '07 - - - President Jewetr Dewitt MATruEWs, ’o8 - - - Vice-President “ORLANDO PEYTON DARWIN, ’09 } , - ; é Secretary-Treasurer McKkEN Fircu Morrow, 'o8 { s Tuomas Estrt HunrER, ’07 WALTER MANVILLE MYERS, '07 WILLIAM WILSON GOBLE, ’07 Guy Homan, ’o8 ROBERT OSCAR JONES, '09 WILLIAM RICHARD SOLIBAKKRE, ’10 EDWARD MASLIN Hume, Faculty CHARLES Newton Littie, Faculty Mr. Darwin left the University in January aud Mr. Morrow was elected by the Council to succeed him.

But if all others have forgotten, there must inevitably be four who remember, for who could forget that he bad spent an entire forenoon basking in the radiance of dark blue eyes and later had paid for the priv- ilege by mingling his khaki- covered legs with the treetops, urged on by the vibrations of a blanket held taut by his obliging classmates? Even if he could forget that sensation, could any faithful swain pos- sibly forget that, while he, dazed by his soarings, leaned breathless against a tree, a vision swept over his astonish- ed senses, a kaleidoscopic vis- ion of arms, ruffles, hairpins, blue eyes, and pine boughs intermingled, a vision which bobbed and tossed like the — - high seas in a tempest and — finally lay quiescent on the — blanket from which he had just been released ? Should his memory, however, have played him false, let us hope that perusal of his class annual will recall to our one-time president that stirring occurrence. Theremaining two ofthe four on whose memories this eventful spring day must have indelibly imprinted itself will doubtless recall an after- noon stroll prolonged late into the evening and delightfully concluded, under the safe escort of Lieutenant Steunenberg, to the martial tune— melodiously chanted by those who sat in the wagon patiently waiting —‘‘The Bear Went Over the Mountain.” Perhaps in our account we may have overlooked some others who also have vivid memories of this day spent in the mountains, but, friends, permit us to suggest that if you wish to appear in print you must follow the examples herein placed before you and perforce before the public. Otherwise you must remain content with the feeling of good fellowship which comes to all good members of the class of 1908 when they think of that day.

March, 1906 MASSA’S IN THE COLD, COLD GROUND I Round de meadows ami a ringing Der darkey's mournful song, While de mocking bird am singing Happy as de day am long, Where the ivy am a creeping O'er de grassy mound, Dere old massa am a sleeping. Sleeping in the cold, cold ground. Chorus: Down in de corn field, Hear dat mournful sound, While de darkies am a singin’ Massa's in de cold, cold ground. II When de autumn leaves were falling When de days were cold, ’Twas hard to hear old massa calling, � Cayse he was so weak and old. Now de orange tree am blooming, On de sandy shore, Now de summer days am coming, Massa nebber calls no more, Chorus: It Massa makes de darkies love him Cayse he was so kind, Now they sadly weep above him, Mourning cayse he Jeaves them behind. I cannot work before tomorrow Cayse the tear drops flow, I try to drive away my sorrow, Pickin’ on de old banjo. Chorus: , 115 U, OF. 1. STEPS SONG Air—Massa'‘s in the Cold, Cold Ground, O’er the western hills are glowing Tints of gorgeous hue; Each familiar sight is growing Dim and spectral to the view. While the Robin warbles sweetly In the waning light, Mystic forces draw us meetly To the college steps tonight. CHorvs: Lull our Alma Mater, Voices of the night; While the moon is gently beaming On the college steps tonight. By the moonbeams touched with beauty, Stands our hero true— Emblem strong of fait h and duty— Gazing towards the mountains blue. Oft in mem'’ry shall we meet here As our years decline, In the dewey silence greet here Comrades of the auld lang syne. CHoRUS:— IN VACATION TIME The days we love best are the sweet days of rest, In vacation time. The sun shines above and the world’s filled with love In vacation time. It’s then you'll go with somebody you know, While your two little hearts beat in rhyme; Some place where there’s trees or a soft ocean breeze, In vacation time. Cuorvus; In vacation time, In vacation time, Up in the country or down by the sea, Out on the ocean or under a tree, In vacation time, in vacation time, Away from the crowd, you can kiss right ont loud, In vacation time. A rowboat for two with a beautiful view, In vacation time, Just drift with the tide, with someone by your side In vacation time, An old country lane, when the day’s on the wane In the twilight it’s simply sublime, The best time of all is the time that we call Sweet vacation time. 116 YELLS E.

On old tin cans and bottles, rags, Hoop skirts or clothes lines, paper bags, And all such things he waxeth strong, But on mere landscape won't last long. Most anything that grows round here Will fill him up but atmosphere. All goats munch gladly shoes or socks But draw the line on lava rocks. The cold, cold winds make Billy numby; Nor rain, nor sleet will fill his tummy. The snow falls softly, pure and white, But cannot stay Nan’s appetite. However well his nibs may fare On unjust treatment otherwhere, He cannot long survive his fate If abandoned in this new state. The weather is not always bad, But oats don't grow on trees, egad. Of course the climate’s not too dry, But the altitude is too blamed “Hi.” 132 KHAPPA SIGMA GAMMA THETA CHAPTER Colors - - Scarlet, White, and Emerald Green Flower - - : - - Lily-of-the-Valley FACULTY lidward Maslin Hulme SENIORS Philip Sharpless Darlington Thomas Cyrus Galloway William Wilson Goble Thompson Dunlap Matthews William Enderle Robertson George Herbert Wyman JUNIORS John Francis Carson Verne Cecil Hurlbut Thomas Estel Hunter Karl Llewellyn Keyes Jewett Dewitt Matthews SOPHOMORES Jay Ernest Jellick Jo Gibson Martin Samuel Leigh Savidge FRESHMEN John Daniel Case Albert Hall Jessup Clarence Sinclair Edmundson Proctor K.

The past three years have fully justified the ex- pectations of its organizers. Prior to this time, the different student enterprises had been living out a miserable, slipshod sort of exist- ence with very meager organization and a glaring lack of harmony among them. Every department was in debtand going in deeper eve- ry year; there was no cash fund—scarcely any financial basis at all upon which to work. The idea was to bring to bear upon this disor- ganized mass one central head, to produce harmony from discord, and to establish a sound financial working basis. The executive committee thus constitutes itself an auditing and advising board—audiling the accounts of the various departments of the association and discussing matters before they shall be brought be- fore the student body. A powerful student sentiment is thus brought to bear upon all matters conceruing the welfare of the students. How this works has been well shown in one or two instances already. At the time of the hazing incident last vear, when the thoughtless policy of a few sensational newspapers had placed the University under the ban throughout the state, the A. S. U. I. found a means of quelling the disturbance by its prompt action in placing the true status of af- fairs before the public. The manner in which this influence is shown is again evident in the co-operation of the A. S. U. I. with the Faculty for the purpose of making the University better known throughout the state, by means of sending Argonauts and Annuals to the different high schools. , The student association fee was placed at $1.00 per semester in the beginning but it has been found wise to raise it to $2.00. This gives a cash fund to be divided among the different departments. Starting with a debt of several hundred dollars, the A. S. U. I. has, by means of this fund, been able to pay off its indebtedness and is now able not only to pay expenses but puts its energies to muc h needed de- velopment in all departments. 145 THE EXECUTIVE BOARD WALTER MANVILLE MYERS - - - - President GEORGE HERBERT WYMAN - - - Vice-President RutH ANNA FOGLE - - - - - Secretary PHILIP SHARPLESS DARLINGTON - - ‘Treasurer Guy HoLtMan - - Representative from Debate Council Gustus LupwiG LARSON, - Representative from Athletic Board 146 The work of the Young Men’s and Young Women’s Christian As- sociations for the year 1906-1907 has shown a gratifying increase in thoroughness and extent, It has reached a place of importance in the student body which compares to a decided advantage with the prestige of the Christian organizations even at the denominational institutions of the Northwest. This must be largely accredited to the impetus given to the work by those who were Idaho's representatives at the two Student Asso- ciation conferences held at Gearhart Park, Oregon, last summer. At both the men’s and women’s conferences, Idaho was represented by unusually large delegations. The joint reception given by the two associations in the early fall, for the benefit of the new students, was this vear largely attended and very successful. In the opening weeks of school, the Y. M. C. A. conducted a reasonably successful Bible study campaign, in which they were assisted by Mr. Reno Hutchinson, who thus gave at Idaho one of his last addresses before his death by murder in Spokane. The Y. M. C. A., during the year, has brought before the students several speakers of some reputation, among whom were Mr. Hutchinson, Ivan B. Rhodes, state secretary of the Y. M. C. A. for Oregon and Idaho, Rev. J. M. Dean, pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church of Seattle, and President Cruzee of Whitworth College, Tacoma. A delegation num- 147 148 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS bering seven represented the local association at Walla Walla in Janu- ary, at the Bible Study Institute held under the auspices of Whitman College. The Young Women’s Christian Association has carried on work of unusual difficulty. Like the Y. M. C, A., they were compelled to hold their Sunday meetings in an unsatisfactory room. It became their du- ty in the winter to arrange for and assume all responsibility for a Bible Study Institute, held at Moscow, at which delegates were present from Washington State College and Lewiston Normal School. Mrs. S. B. I. Penrose of Whitman College and Miss Sisson, secretary of the Y. W. C. A. at Spokane, were the leaders of the institute. Miss Gage, inter-state secretary of the Young Women’s Christian Association, spent a week with the Idaho association in the early spring. The As- sociation, through the spring months, gave frequent Sunday afternoon receptions to the men of the University, promoting very effectually an interest in and respect for the work of the organization. -0-2- YOUNG MEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION Officers, Year Ending March, 1907 KARL LLEWELLYN KEYES - - - - President Ray EARL PEEBLER : - - - Vice-President TonrEy TAYLOR CROOKS - - - Recording Secretary Guy HoLMAN - - - - Corresponding Secretary PuHILip SHARPLESS DARLINGTON - = - Treasurer COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN Roy Eichelberger, Religious Work; William Wilson Goble, Bible Study; Clyde Cleveland Oakes, Membership; Fred Edward Lukens, Missions; Donald Strehle Whitehead, Social; Jay Ernest Jellick, Em- ployment Bureau.

The club was organized in 1894, but has seen the growth to its present efficiency within the past year or two. This has been due partly to increased facilities in the music department, since it now has the combined services of Professor Cogswell and Mr. Tor Van Pyk, and partly to a rapid increase in registration, but it is probably due to a much greater extent to a wide awakening on the part of the students to the fact that music is an essential element in their training. The club is attracting the notice of the musically inclined people about the city, as the list of honorary members amply testifies. ‘The programs for the year have been arranged with a view to the study of a few of the great composers and a study of special kinds of music. Thus, one program has dealt with Saint Saens, one with Schu- mann; one has been a study of waltz music, one of duets, one of the music of American composers. Besides these there have been one or two informal musicales. These programs are taking their place among the events which de- mand the attention of the entire college. 156 THE GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB FIRST SOPRANO Lucy Mae Case Georgia Annette Davis Althea Helen Ott Dorothy Ola Cannon Jennie Louise Gerhardt SECOND SOPRANO Bess May Gibson Bertha Newland Helen Dee Noyes Elsie Christina Larson FIRST ALTO Bertha E.

Seemingly everyone had abused him. ‘The professors asked him to talk so that he could be heard, the girls giggled at him when he fell on the slippery walk, the waiter brought him burned pie at dinner, and when he finally took refuge in his own room, the lights were bad—‘‘bum,”’ he said—and he couldn't study so he took out his mother’s letters. It did not seem to take so much light for them. That mother of his, what a woman she was. He wondered if other boys’ mothers cautioned them to keep their feet dry, to be sure their sleeping-rooms were well ventilated, to keep a strict financial ac- count, to study hard but not to overdo, because ‘‘your health is always first in importance to us, and if you love us, don’é get into those class riots!'’ Now how could any fellow reconcile his actions with those in- structions ? He hoped, above all things, to keep an account, and the Freshmen and Sophomores were going to have a little row, just for fun, that he wanted to bein. Home was a long way off. Why not do as he pleased? But just then he happened to remember those days last year when his father paced for hours with his head bowed and his hands clasped behind him, up and down the sidewalk in front of the hospital, and how at last they brought her home on a stretcher, thin and pale—but alive, how her face brightened when she saw him holding the gate open. Then the boy brushed his hand across his eyes, tied up his mother’s letters tenderly, and opened his college algebra. 162 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS AROUND THE FIRE JENNIE GERHARDT, ‘10 When the battle of football is ended, And the heroes have marched proudly home, And the fire the Preplings have kindled, Casts its light on the Ad. building’s dome. Then we all gather round in a circle, In the glare of the fire so bright, And we laugh, yell, sing and tell stories Of the scores that were made in the fight. But slowly the coals fade, and crumble, All the songs and the laughter. are still, And we see many shapes in the embers, And our minds with bright visions we fill. Through the thinly veiled mists of the future, On the path of success we can trace The figures of many old classmates, Pressing forward, with hope on each face. But the bells chiming ten soon arouse us, From the building of air castles gay, And the fire is quickly deserted, And the watchers are frightened away. Looking back to the days spent in college, When old Time has our hair tinged with white, The sweetest of mem’ries awakened, KREEPING HIS COMPACT PHEBE SMITH, ’I0 “Here Shirley, is a bankbook. I have placed two hundred dol- lars to your account in the First National Bank. I made a careful es- timate of your expenses for the first semester and found that amount will be ample for your needs until Christmas at least.’’ ““f think,’’ he continued smilingly, ‘‘ you may even see the big LITERARY DEPARTMENT 163 football games, but I must warn you to remember the terms of our agreement.” Mr. Holmes and his son Shirley were standing on the platform at the station waiting for the train to Pocatello. Shirley had registered at the State University at Moscow, and his father, who had come all the way from Pocatello to see him settled for the year, was going home. In a few minutes the train had gone and Shirley was left behind with a feeling of satisfaction tinged with homesickness. He had graduated from high school the year before and this was his first experience away from home. He was very young, and as he had always gone to school, he knew little about money matters. His father was anxious to have him work for a year in his uncle’s grocery store and, as he expressed it, ‘‘learn the value of time and money.” But Shirley’s tastes were literary and there was nothing so distasteful to him as the grocery business. He complained that the smell made him sick. His private ambition was to become a lawyer, then perhaps governor of Idaho; farther than that his plans were not definite. Ned Gordon, a Pocatello boy, was a Sophomore at the University of [daho, and he told marvelous stories of college life. Shirley learned from him the names of the athletes and their particular stunts, and talked as familiarly of ‘‘ Pink’’ and ‘‘ Heck’’ as he did of his own classmates. He made up his mind he would go to Moscow the next year, and spent the summer in trying to convince his father that his career would be ruined unless he did. His father insisted that Shirley wasn’t capable of taking care of himself, and declared that he wasn't going to furnish him hard-earned money to throw away. At last, however, they came to an agreement. Mr. Holmes was to give him enough money for the first semester’s ex- penses. If he proved able to manage his affairs, very well, he might goon. If he had to send home for any money before Christmas he was to leave school at the end of the first semester, and spend a year in the grocery store. Shirley subscribed heartily to such a simple proposition. He resolved to be very careful and show his father how mistaken he had been in his judgment of his business ability. He had been a social factor in high school, and was a little piqued not to attract more attention in college. The classes were so large that he was seldom called on to recite, and for the first few weeks the only chance he had of adveitising his presence, was his dramatic ‘‘ Here”’ at roll call. 164 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS Then there came the night of the class party when Shirley ‘‘broke’’ into society. He tolda funny story that was an “heirloom’’ in the Holmes family; he sang a new song and helped everybody to have a good time. From this night the boys all called him ‘‘Sherlock,’’ and the girls liked to study at the same table with him in the library. In- vitations to parties came thick and fast, and his hat hung in the dor- mitory hall as often as anybody’s. Mrs. Holmes did not approve of theatre going unless the plays were very good, consequently Shirley had seen but few, but to his en- chanted eyes they were all good, and he averaged two per week now. His room always looked shabby after a visit to the ‘‘Frat’’ house, so he spent quite asum for new furniture and pictures. Then he rented a piano until Christmas paying in advance. Bob Brown, his room- mate, played the violin, and as he could play the piano, a little, they practised together. Two hundred dollars had seemed a large sum to Shirley and he drew freely on his bank account. At first he kept a record of his ex- penditures, but grew careless until he had no idea how much he still had in the bank. He was loyal to his college, and when a rooter at the Oregon— Idaho football game sneeringly challenged him to bet on Idaho, he never hesitated. He lost only twenty dollars, and he cared less for the money than for the shame he felt, for he knew what his father would say. On the day ofthe big game with Pullman, Shirley presented a check for twenty-five dollars at the bank. ‘Tl can’t honor this,’’ said the cashier, ‘‘your account is only ten dollars,’ and he handed him a big bunch of cancelled vouchers. ‘There is certainly a mistake,’’ Shirley said taking the papers with trembling hands. But as he looked them over he remembered every one of them especially the twenty which paid the bet. He was out of money, however, so he drew the last ten dollars of his account and stepped out on the street. Everybody was going to Pullman, and he mechanically fell in with the crowd. He had already bought his ticket but the trip had lost all interest for him. “Tdaho always beats Pullman,’’ the boys were saying, and the words haunted him. ‘‘Going to invest some money today?’ Bandy, one of the town boys, asked him as they walked up hill. ‘‘It’s always sure gain down here. I make twenty dollars every year.”’ LITERARY DEPARTMENT 165 Shirley disliked Bandy, but he shamefacedly handed him his ten dollars to ‘invest’? for him. He despised himself for doing it and thought again of his father’s strict moral code which he had now dis- graced a second time. He would rather lose than win if he didn’t need the money so badly. He followed the game as intently as the players themselves, aud when Idaho was defeated he groaned aloud. The gitls who heard him were imp ressed very forcibly by such su- preme patriotism. He got back to Moscow penniless with two months to pass before he would receive an allowance from home, unless he should ask for it. Should he write to his father and confess his foolishness? No, he would not. There was the hundred dollar scholarship; he would try for that. He dropped out of society as suddenly as he had entered it. As he was a bright boy his grades were fair, although he had neglected his studies. Now he began working day and night. He must have some money for current expenses, however, so he borrowed two dollars and fifty cents from Bob. The debt worried him; there seemed no way of paying it and Bob needed the money. So he borrowed five dollars of Jimmy Thompson, repaid Bob and got along for another week. ‘Then he thought Jimmy was hinting for the money and he was obliged to buy an expensive book, so he borrowed ten dol- lars of another boy and paid Jim out of that. Not daring to borrow a larger amount from one person, he bor- rowed the next week small sums from four different boys, and repaid part of the ten dollars. By the first of December he owed sums to ten different boys, but his scheme was so well managed that nobody sus- pected his dire needs. If they spoke of his borrowing they remarked that he always paid it back. It was useless to think of borrowing enough money to pay his board bill, and he was in agony every time he saw his landlady. He imagined that she was needy and reproached himself bitterly for his former extravagance. He came up wonderfully in his grades but not sufficiently to counteract his poor work at the beginning of the term, The scholar- ship was awarded to another boy and nobody even guessed that he had tried for it. Becoming desperate, he decided to secure work through the day, and study enough at night to make his examinations. For two days 166 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS he canvassed the town hunting a job. One merchant who had no place for him suggested that he apply at a grocery store down the street, but Shirley felt sure he could find something he liked better. The next day brought no better success, so he went tothe grocery store, although he doubted very much that they would have him there. Everybody wanted a clerk with experience. But the grocer said, ‘‘Yes, we can give you ajob,’’ and put him to work at once. It was hard work but he didn’t dislike the smell so much as formerly, and every night he studied faithfully the lessons Bob was having at school. His spirits rose when he was paid his first week’s salary, although it was very small. One day a letter came from his father which contained money for his ticket home and told of their plans for the Christmas vacation. He had looked forward eagerly to this vacation, but it suddenly dawn- ed on him that if he went home in debt he broke is agreement, for he knew his father would look with less favor on his financial operations than on a debt to himself. Until his accounts were straight he reftsed to think of pleasure. By working hard through vacation he could have the last dollar of his debt paid by the time school began, so he sat down and wrote a letter home: “Dear Father:—You can't guess how much I want to come home, but I have learned the value of time and money. With your permis- sion I will stay -here and work during vacation. I hope to pass my examinations in January, but will have to work hard to do so. ‘Hoping that you and mother can come up here in the spring, I am Your affectionate son, “SHIRLEY HoimeEs.”’ ‘ Sherlock,’’ senior, chuckled approvingly when he read this letter, for in some mysterious way he had learned that Shirley was doing pen- ance in a grocery store. TRAVEL IN EUROPE LAWRENCE GIPSON, '03 Travel in Europe—what a joy in the very thought! How one’s mind goes out on imaginative explorations into the curious corners of the Old World! What anticipations of strange peoples, each with its own interesting and separate existence! What a thrill at the thought LITERARY DEPARTMENT 167 of wandering over spots hallowed by mighty epoch-making events ! For one to secure the greatest benefit from travel in Europe it is of course essential that he should have an adequate knowledge of history, not only a realization of the great historical developments of the past, but also an acquaintance with the lives of men who ushered in these movements. Moreover, nut only does the traveller find valuable what- ever facts relative to political history and modern institutions he may possess, but is richly rewarded if he has studied somewhat at least the development of the different branches of art. He will be greatly aided by these in unlocking the treasure doors of the past and discovering the lives of peoples and races which have long since passed away. A crowd of sailors wander up the Acropolis at Athens, admire the fine view, kick around among the ruins, yawn, fill their pipes and saunter away ; but the student of history bows his head in reverence and awe as for the first time he finds himself in the presence of these majestic but decayed structures and fragments in Pentelic marble, rep- resenting as they do the last remnants of the wonderful civilization of a primitive people. Yet, let us stand there beside the exquisite little temple of Nike on the Acropolis and let our eyes wander out over the waters of the Bay of Phaléron with Hydra Aegina rearing their rocky heads above the deep blue of the sea. Off there to the right is Salamis bay and cling- ing to a promontory, the ruins of the temples at Eleusis, the home of the mysteries ; while far, far away can be seen across the bay the Acro- Corinth towering as it does above the remains of the once illustrious city. What do these things mean to the student of history ? Travel in Europe—what an opportunity for one interested in so- cial institutions! What achance for the man who is absorbed in the great problems of modern life! Hvery moment something familiar and striking, strangely suggestive and adding to the sum total of his knowledge and experience. The exhilaration which comes to one when able to converse comfortably well in a strange tongue doubly re- pays the toil of the first weeks of struggle amidst amusing and pathetic blunders; the power that is accentuated in getting the point of view of many races on various aspects of life is well worth the inconvenience connected with travelling in strange lands. For the man who will take the trouble to be intelligently interested in many phases of life the joys of wandering over Europe are simply unlimited. Here is a bit of fine pottery, there a strange community of people, to- AYOLVAOAVT TYOIOVNTIVLAN LITERARY DEPARTMENT 169 night a Handel festival, tomorrow a seance of the Chambre des Deputes, au hour over a half obliterated Latin inscription, a day studying the culture of orchids, an international racing meet, or a lecture at the Sorbonne. Come along and let us board a Channel steamer. We soon pull away from the fog and after a few hours are delivered at the wharf of Amsterdam and find ourselves among this most interesting people, who have a passion for cleanliness, baggy clothing and unwieldy wooden shoes. The windmill, living house, barn, store-house and all combin- ed into one place of abode, and the Hollander's home is verily his cas- tle. These stolid people live on their little canal-drained farms and peacefully smoke their fragrant tobacco, with an apparent feeling of absolute security, although yonder hand-made ridge is the only barrier between them and the surging sea. Of course when first visiting Europe we naturally turn our eyes towards that beautiful, strangely attractive but dread city, Paris. What is there in this ‘‘ western’’ world that compares to it? Where so gay a life, and where such tragedy! What living city with a more fasci- nating history ? And as we leave Holland for France we pass through the little Ritchen-garden country of Belgium. To any one who is interested in farm life this certainly is a revelation. It keeps most of Europe sup- plied with green food; every inch of land is utilized ; every blade of grass is valued, and we find the system of domestic economy perfected. A large part of the country is divided up into tiny farms where the Flemish peasants dig the land and consume the gains from the butter and cheese which they make from their three or four cows which they thriftily manage to keep on their premises. Brussels, the capital, claims our attention, with its strange six- teenth century gild-houses facing the old city square. Each trade of tanuers, weavers, locksmiths, joiners, etc., had its own meeting house, its own traditional jealousies and hatreds, its history of struggles against the old Dukes of Flanders and of bloody frays with other trades which were fought to the last man dead, on the city square. From Brussels it is but a step to Waterloo. We ascend the great mound, and standing under the Belgian lion survey the scene of the most tremendous battle fought in modern history. The military guide points out Quatre Bras, where Wellington took his stand, the point from which Napoleon engineered the battle, and the fatal slope down 170 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS which Ney again and again urged those awful, wild cavalry charges. Tout le monde descendez,; ette est Paris, Ah, mad city, why do you draw the whole world and hold it? Even the most sedate cannot es- cape the attractions of your gay life; a mere promenade along the Champs Elysees from the Tuileries to the Arc de Triomphe, a cup of coffee at one of your brilliantly-lighte. cafes, a night at le grande opera, an afternoon’s shopping at the huge Magasin Bon Marche—all these are pleasures which only one who has been to Paris can under- stand. As for the student, can he escape entirely the fascinations of the Bohemian life of the Latin quarter, especially if he is settled in Paris for a long vacation of work and pleasure ? But there are other and more interesting things. There are those majestic monuments raised to commemorate the struggles and triumphs of French arms. The Column Vendome is made of the Austrian can- on taken at Austerlitz, while within Les nva ids rests beneath an im- posing tomb the remains of Napoleon. But of all the places in Paris which attract the wanderer, and their name is legion, there is really none like the Louvre, that more than national, that universal treasure house of the past. It was to this place that Napoleon carried the spoils of a thousand cities and a hundred battles. Here rest simply masses of priceless relics; rare tapestry, master paintings, antique sculpture, curious wrought work in gold and silver, exquisitely carved furniture, Delftware, Sevres porcelain and Dresden China, the like of which cannot be purchased for money today, besides the family relics of ages, crowned heads—these and more are clustered together with- in the walls of the Louvre. What person of ever so dull a mind but would feel a thrill at entering such a place? But we must move on. We leave Paris after taking a last trip to Versailles. We shake hands with and lift caps to the gay French stu- dents who have accompanied us to the station and soon are rolling away, while inside the car a lively conversation is kept up by all the occupants, each striving to get in a word and talking very fast all the while, for the Frenchman is always intensely interested in everything which goes on around him and shows it in the most animated manner. It is now Germany. We have lingered over the awe-inspiring cathedral at Cologne and our steamer is slowly winding up the Rhine. Who is it that could not love this historic stream? What countless deeds of war and romance, with strange folks’ tales, have survived the farm castles which once towered on almost every point commanding LITERARY DEPARTMENT 171 the Rhine? Here we pass Roland Tower and there Manse Island, and now we approach Bingen, fair Bingen, and over opposite on the hillside, the German national Dexkma , erected on the occasion of the achievement of national unity in 1871. But volumes could not hold the story of the Rhine. We must just mevtion the names of some of these magnificent Southern German cities. Frankfort, modern but historic; Worms, in- teresting and worthy of further fame, salubrious Munich, art-loving Dresden, and Heidelberg, the picturesque. At last our steps lead us to the German Mecca, Berlin, the afore-planned, most modern of mod- ern cities; the police-regulated, military-guarded and imperially- fostered city; this world center for music lovers, for theatrical and ap- plied science, and of the art of war. One season in Berlin is far too short for the traveler of varied interests and he is sure to plan his tour so as to enjoy the the splendid winter program of the theatres, especial- ly giving a night or so each week to grand opera at the Koniglich Opernhaus, where many of the world-famed singers and musicians are retained. He will also be interested in studying the methods of city administration, the most perfected in existence, for he will find here a city which is not in the hands of.confidence thieves, where all the departments of municipal activity work with clock-like precision, and where soberness and system rule each act of administration. Here he will find the best exemplification of the merits and defects of the automatic one-man system in public affairs. The atmosphere of the city is one of earnestness and one even catches the German spirit, sol- emn enthusiasm and determination which is calling forth every effort for increased national greatness. ‘‘Deutschland, Deutschland uber alles,” is the spirit which is carrying Germany forward. But the man who is spending some three years or so in Europe will surely not neglect the wonderful countries south of the Alps. If France has delighted him, Germany made him turn thoughtful, these southern countries will call forth every spark of enthusiasm within his nature. Italy—there is magic in the word! Italy, that country of sunshine which has attracted for the last two thousand years the peo- ple of northern climes; Italy, the dream of countless invading hordes, which have surged across the Danube and the Rhine in their mad dash for the treasures of the marble cities, to be rolled back through the valor of the’ sons of the Apennines and the plains, or to waste themselves in luxtrious plundering. 172 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS We can forgive the man, who when casting his eyes for the first time upon this fair country, perhaps from some outlook in the Alps, is moved to sudden but deep emotion. There across the northern lakes is the land of the Romans, the home of the Medici, the country of ro- mance, poverty and art. Here is Milan with its cathedral which stretches the limit of comprehension to grasp its varied marvels; Genoa, the quaintest of quaint cities with its crooked, narrow streets sloping right down into the bay; Venice, queen of the seas, with its silvery, limpid roadbeds and gondolas, its palace of the Doges and St. Mark; Florence on the Arno, darling of the Renaissance, home of Lorenzo, the Magnificent, and the cradle of a score of epoch-making men; and Naples, most southern of Italy’s great peninsula towns and one of the most interesting and cosmopolitan of eastern cities, with its wild, ro- mantic life, its Pompeii and Vesuvius. There is an old Italian saying, “‘See Naples and then die,’’ meaning, I suppose, that then there would be nothing to live for. Yet, with all these glories what would Italy be, without her seven- hilled city on the Tiber? What would the world of our times be with- out the Rome of yesterday? This city threw its spell over Europe twenty-five centuries or more ago, and still she keeps it chained. But why do men stili turn their eyes toward Rome? Do these crumbling piles of marble and masonry cry out? Do spectre figures mount the rostra in the now deserted forum and proclaim the greatness of Rome? Rome, Rome, where are your glories today? Least beautiful of all European capitals, without wealth but a harvest of poverty and need; your populace little realize the former grandeur of your position, but scorn your old Roman remains and pass by your heritage from the middle ages with contempt. But for the student of history or of art, what joys you can afford him? He is overwhelmed by the various in- terests which press upon him for consideration. ‘The Rome of today with its local and national problems offers an absorbingly int eresting field of study; the Rome of Hildebrand and of Leo X, the Rome of the Renaissance, which has survived in a myriad of noble and curious structures, in countless treasures of art of all kinds, as well as in the traditions of the past makes an immense appeal to one’s sympathies; yet, these attractions cannot but fade away from the mind when we pass into that quarter of modern Rome where the ancient city was sit- uated. We mount the Capitoline Hill and gaze on the resurrected Fo- rum at our feet; we view the ruins on the Palatine and let our eyes fol- LITERARY DEPARTMENT 173 low the sacra via until they rest upon the gigantic Coloseum of Vespa- sian and the Arch of Constantine. What thoughts come in upon me! Yes, it is really the market place where the Gracchi once addressed the cemitia centuriata. There are the last ruins of the building from which the mighty senafus con- sulta were proclaimed to the world and which ruled it. Up this road imperial Augustus moved in solemn procession to the temple of Jupiter Stator and this arch was erected for Titus returning homeward with the spoils of the temple of Jerusalem. It is not the ordinary traveler who moves eastward from Italy, but rather the man who hungers for knowledge or adventure. Greece with its Peloponnesus and islands, and above all Athens will draw him. We have made mention at another place of this city. Let us add, be- fore passing on, that of all the fine views that one gets there is proba- bly nothing more impressive than the Acropolis by moonlight. Our steamer raises anchor at Piraena, passes east and rounding Cape Sunion, upon which there towers high on the cliff some majestic marble columns, all that remains of a once magnificent Greek temple which overlooked the seas at this perilous point. The next day at the entrance to the Dardanelles we skirt the plain of Troy and soon pass the Turkish fleet, composed of discarded, old cruisers, half-manned and equipped. In the morning we wind our way into the Golden Horn through hundreds of craft big and small from all parts of the world, and that under-fed city of Constantinople, the city which “blooms beside the sweet waters of Europe,’’ looms up before us fan- tastic and oriental with its cupolas, and minarets and strange archi- tectural forms. What a fascination in those huge mosques which white and beau- tiful fairly brood over the city! What a treat itis to wander through the great bazaars, higgling with Arabs, Egyptians, Tartars and Asia Minor Jews for their fancy stuffs and finery! What an experience it is to wind one’s way through dark, foreboding-looking streets, among countless hundreds and thousands of mangy dogs which lie in piles upon the streets in the way and make night hideous with their bark, as they rove in huge packs through all corners of the city ! There the Turk squats in front of his doorway, with his ookah gurgling and exhaling veritable incense from his mouth, with dreamy eyes which are looking far, far away into the mystic land of nowhere. Along the streets glide noiselessly the shrouded forms of women, cloth- 174 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS edin black silks, with faces deeply veiled. From behind the bars and shutters of almost every house one catches the gleam of bright eyes from these domestic prisons, watching curiously the movements of the the passersby. If the history of Athens is like the coming and going of a great triumphant ideal, and that of Rome like the ceaseless onward march of one of her former magnificently organized legions through a thousand dangers and disasters, so the history of Constantinople reminds one of some strange, fascinating story in two parts, either one all but complete in itself. Athens fell and Rome grew to its prime ; Rome crumbled away and Constantinople arose and took its place. Even in these days of its degeneration it is a world center, a meeting place of East and West. No city in Europe throws such a spell over one. It is a beau- tiful but a dread place. The horror of awful atrocities broods over it, and one shudders in crossing the Hippodrome at the thought that in this open space, under the shadow of a great Mohammedan mosque, the awful massacre of the Armenian Christians in 1895 began, and the story is not yet finished. Men are living in momentary suspense and any day may awake to find themselves once more in the midst of fear- ful horrors. But for humanity’s sake let us hope it will end; there is aslowly widening rift in the clouds, the handwriting is upon the wall, and the Turk shall depart from his much abused position. Constanti- nople shall once again become a Christian city. Before departing from Turkey the traveller will take at least a steamer trip up the Bosphorus to the Black Sea. In doing this if he so desires he may stop off at one of the many charming places on the Asia side. A man, however, should not wander around alone much in Tur- key ; his safety is in no way guaranteed. Now to ascend the Seine from Havre to Rouen on boat and to make the descent of the Rhine from Mainz to Cologne are things which no voyager should miss, for these trips are notably fine. But what are the Rhine, Seine and Danube compared to the Bosphorus and its shore line ? As the steamer moves along on the glassy, blue surface, a bewild- ering succession of strange sights passin review. You fairly wonder if you are dreaming or if the story of Aladdin and his lamp has really come true. It is fairyland. These strange buildings of white marble strive to rival one avother in fantastic forms; these graceful minarets, these glassy domes, these lavishly decorated palaces, these brilliantly LITERARY DEPARTMENT 175 colored but secluded villas and these ghostly, unreal cypress groves where rest the bodies of the Faithful, are surely not of this world—not for the living, the moving, not for creatures who struggle for existence, but for the never-dying, ever-dreaming heroes of Arabian Nights. Our journey carries us through the Balkans. We discuss in la- borious French, the problems of this sad neck of country, with the sad looking Bulgarian who sits beside us. At Belgrade we stand on the Slope of Dreams and view the Danube flowing far down below at our feet. Buda-VPest, the capital of Hungary, excites our admiration, We linger there for a few days. We hear those wonderful gypsy bands play their native music with such pathos as to bring tears to the eyes of both listener and performers, so close is the bond of sympathy. We obtain introductions and discuss the political situation with the friends of revolution, and then tear ourselves away and move up the Danube to Vienna. How it is we cannot tell, but it would seem that each country we have entered, each city we have visited surpassed what we had pre- viously seen in interest. What fairer sight in all this world than the Ringstrausse in the Austrian capital and those noble public buildings situated in the vicinity? What is there to surpass in excitement a meeting of the national chamber of deputies, when Germans, Tcheques, Poles, Ruthians, Slavs, Croatians, Italians and Roumanians meet to- gether and allow to play freely each racial and sectional jealousy and hatred? What stormy sessions, what violent language and absolute brawls! Yet, there is something sadly solemn in the thought that one is witnessing, perhaps, in the violent pulsations, the gradual breaking up of a once mighty empire which has outlived the political ideal of the days of its youth. Austria’s enemies are those at home rather than those abroad. She has a fatal weakness and it would seem that only some supreme political accident could preserve her. Yes, there is a wonderful fascination in traveling for the person who has learned the art and has carefully prepared himself for the same. The man who secures the greatest benefit is the one who pushes out on his own, avoids company hotel-fed-tours, go-through-your-Ba- deker-trips, and chooses self-marked-out, independent, self-luggage- carrying tramps, whereby he will mingle with the people, get to know their lives and will gather masses of first hand information about those things which interest him. Plenty of grit and courage, with a knowledge of French and Geman with English will carry him almost 176 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS anywhere in Europe. However, a word of warning in closing to the man who thinks he can do Europe on a song. He may, but then on the other hand, he may find himself as many a man has, destitute in some big continental city. It is always very wise if one comes to Eu- rope with limited means at least to have something more which can be drawn on in case of special need. A TAIL OF A. CAT HERBERT WADSWORTH, ‘10 Clarence ate his dinner in silence and sat down on the lounge. He had nothing special in mind except that he didn’t wish to get back to the Varsity until after two o’clock. ‘Two o’clock marked the close of the drill period. So, picking up his favorite volume, a book telling about the po- tency of cats’ tails, rabbits’ feet, etc., over human destinies, together with certain other kindred subjects—in all of which he most firmly be- lieved—he settled himself back comfortably among the pillows and was soon completely absorbed in the treatise before him. Time flew. Two o’clock came before Clarence could realize it. The suggestion passed vaguely through his mind that the faithful old timepiece might be But no, his class hour was soon due, laying his beloved volume down he prepared to go to recitation. On stepping outside he was surprised to note how much warmer the atmosphere was than when he had come home at noon. But he thought little of this, for sudden changes of weather are common in Moscow. ‘If it remains warm until night,’’ he thought, “I'll get some of the boys to go out and run with me.’’ Then as he walked on, his imagination wandered back over the various track-meets he had taken part in, and on this favorite theme his mind dwelt until he reached the foot of the hill leading to the campus. Here he met a couple of students wearing Prep caps, who, with their books tucked under one arm, and both hands buried deep down in their pockets, were sauntering toward town. Clarence did not re- member having ever seen them before, and yet they represented a type that was familiar to him. They glanced at the ‘I’? on his sweater, and looked at his 1910 cap with the inquiring stare of boys who are LITERARY DEPARTMENT 177 first seeing something that they have heard their father talk about ever since they could remember. Their inquisitive action, though common to young students, annoy- ed Clarence, for he had always been proud of his Freshman cap, and he was still wondering just what they meant, when he reached the campus. He had become as familiar with this campus as with his own yard. He knew itin the dark. But since crossing it on his way to dinner a few hours before, a marvelous change had taken place. Since the days of Aladdin and his wonderful lamp, such an amazing transformation had not come about. And like Aladdin entering the mysterious cave, in which there was nothing too wonderful to exist, our hero bade his wondering thoughts be quiet, and filled with a desire to survey fully, be turned his steps across the campus. A broad cement walk led up to the new Administration building, apparently completed. The sight of this splendid edifice almost in- stantly lifted his sorrow for the loss of the old structure. Around the new group of buildings on the right of the campus, and stretching across to the dormitory, was a rich, well-kept lawn. This bright, clean looking grass was in itself a revelation. The cam- pus of his mind was a piece of uneven ground occupied by a muddy road, a row of scrubby trees, and dotted here and there with patches of coarse, wild grass. The term beauty had never suggested itself to him when looking at it. But how different now! It was like a man- tle of white snow over a rubbish pile. ‘‘Who can have done all this ?’’ he thought, and for the moment enjoyed the situation in spite of his mental confusion. ‘‘Zum must be expecting company,’’ he mused. Just then he heard the ‘‘Honk!’’ “Honk ! ’ of an automobile whistle, and could he believe it ? here came the worthy janitor sweep- ing down around the terrace in an auto-lawnmower, amid a perfect cloud of flying grass. His hat was pulled down low over his ears, and as he passed he glanced vaguely at Clarence, who thought, ‘‘I suppose he don’t know anybody since he’s got that thing to ride around over the campus in. I wonder if he won't soon get something fixed up to keep students out of the halls with, that will run itself! He and Lifty think they own things here.’’ His mind, however, was too much confused with surprisesto dwell DONIC TING AVSSV LITERARY DEPARTMENT 179 long on the tyrannies of the czar or of the commandant; so gathering his scattered wits as best he could, he passed on toward the gymnasium. Near the crosswalk his attention was attracted to a small group of men engaged in what seemed to him to be a conversation between old friends, who had been separated for some time. One of these in par- ticular attracted his attention. He was large, and apparently still in the prime of life. His ample, ruddy face was ornamented with a mas- sive blonde beard, cut off squarely at the bottom like a new broom; and this, together with his mild, sympathetic gray eyes, and open countenance, gave him the stamp of a man engaged in benevolent purposes rather than a captain of the commercial world. He wore a sort of traveling suit, which had evidently seen con- siderable service, and the trend of his conversation showed him to be familiar with oriental life, to an-extent to which only missionaries are apt to be. But the thing in particular that struck Clarence, was the familiar sound of his voice. ‘‘He talks enough like Hopper to be his father,’’ he said to himself. Another member of the group, and the one to whom the person just alluded to appeared to be addressing himself, was a tall, stork- like individual. He stood with his hands rammed down the front of his shattered trousers over his lank stomach, greedily devouring the speaker’s tale of how the heathens in the sunny orient fed him well and required little or no labor of him. His open-mouthed admiration of his friend’s portly compass, showed plainly that he too felt momen- tarily benevolent toward those same heathens. As Clarence gazed on his bent frame and freckled features, he thought to himself, ‘‘That's the way Strohbehn will look when he gets old.” The other characters of the group he did not notice in particular, except that they too were strangers to him. So, ceasing to look back at them, he once more faced toward the gymnasium. Indeed, he turned his head the way he was going just in time, for he was about to step on some one who was sitting on the edge of the walk. He did not have look twice to recognize who it was; it was Monk, his milky blue eyes blankly staring into space, and his whole counte- nance presenting such a picture of serene vagueness, as instantly re- called to Clarence’s mind the story of ‘The Great Stone Face.’’ On his Jap lay a mammoth Oakes Small catalogue open to the book de- partment, where the advertisement of a volume entitled, ‘‘Mathematics Simplified,’’ was much thumb marked. 180 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS Clarence was about to shake him up, but it occured to him that Monk might be in the act of thinking, so he forebore, and stepping around the unsuspecting bugler, he proceeded on his way. As he neared the building, his eye caught sight of a football go- ing up in the air beyond the woodpile, and he could hear the voices of the players. ‘They have gone down there to get out of the wind,”’ he thought, and started in that direction. Soon he could see the players, and could he believe his eyes? they were practicing in the center of a fine athletic field! The sight of the smooth, even track around the border made his heart leap for joy. But it seemed so strange! ‘‘When had all these improvements been made? ’ he vainly asked himself, and leaning’ against the fence, gazed on the scene in bewilderment. Presently a fellow from the field came toward him. He had no- ticed Clarence’s Varsity ‘‘I,’’ and was curious to know who he was. “You are an old student, I see,’’ he said, advancing, and brush- ing him across the face with something that looked like a cat’s tail. ‘“‘Yes, ’ simply answered Clarence, scrutinizing the numerals on the fellow’s sweater. They were 1923! His head was ina whirl. He heard the fellow say that he was a Sophomore, and was trying to recollect who he himself was, when he heard a scream, and felt asharp sting on the arm. He sprang to his feet and rubbed his eyes. A book fell to the floor, and the old family cat dashed out through the door. On his wrist was a long scratch; and in his hand he held a bunch of gray fur which corresponded close- ly to that which belonged on the end of the poor old cat’s tail. TRAINING OF A CADET AT THE UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY CLEVELAND C. GEE. ’o09, U. S.C. C. Probably at no other institution in the United States, is a man more thoroughly equipped for his profession than at the Military Aca- demy at West Point. This training prepares the cadet for all branches of the service. He is ready at graduation to go into the engineers, artillery, cavalry, or infantry. This preparation is not only military but civil. In the academic work are taught practically all the subjects found in the curriculum of LITERARY DEPARTMENT 181 most universities. This includes: all branches of mathematics, phi- iosophy, chemistry, military and civil law, ordnance and gunnery, French, English, Spanish, military and civil engineering, mineralogy and geology, drawing, history, military hygiene, etc. In all the sub- jects a cadet receives a good foundation. The instruction is carried on by dividing each class into sections of about ten men each, according to proficiency in the subject. This method enables the instructors to give more individual attention than would otherwise be possible. About one hundred men, for the most part army officers, are detailed here as instructors in tactics and aca- demic work. The practical instruction is quite as thorough as the theoretical. Every cadet must learn to ride a horse and in this he receives con- stant instruction during the last three years of his stay. Fencing, boxing, wrestling, and general gymnasium work are taught throughout the course. The most noticeable feature in a cadet’s life is the strict dicipline. Almost every hour is accounted for. Breaches of dicipline are punish- ed in various ways, according to the seriousness of the offense. Som e of the methods employed are demerits, confinement to quarters, re- striction of privileges, punishment tours, and dismissal from the ser- vice. Each cadet is required to attend divine service at least once a week. Besides this the Y. M. C. A., which has a large membership, holds two meetings each week. The corps of cadets has a language of its own and this is one of the most troublesome things with which a new cadet has to contend. In fact this has reached such a stage that the ‘‘Howitzer,’”’ the West Point annual, always has a vocabulary for the aid of outsiders. The battalion of cadets is divided into six companies, each com- manded by an army officer detailed for the purpose. Cadets are allowed three hops each week during the summer en- campment and every two weeks during the academic year, besides oc- casional extras on holidays and big football days. The sport in which we compete with other colleges are: football, baseball, basketball, hockey, and fencing. Besides these, such games as tennis, golf, etc., are indulged in. Corps spirit is very strong. Several songs such as ‘‘Benny Ha- ven,’ “Army Blue,’’ and ‘‘Benny Fields,’’ are part of the corps and 182 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS no man is a true cadet until he knows them. We have many yells and cheers, but the old standby is: Rah! Rah! Ray!! Rah! Rah! Ray!! West Point! West Point! Army ! Ray! Ray! Ray!! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! West Point!!! AN OXFORD FRESHMAN’S FIRST TERM Caro Foster, '06 To describe the life at Oxford is too long a task for me, but I would like to give an idea of some things a Freshman experiences in Brasenose. Brasenose is called a sociable college and the Freshman soon learns the truth of this statement. In the course of the first two or three days, he will be visited by all the second year men and many others. ‘They merely drop in to his room to see what kind of a fellow he is and if he offers suitable refreshments, he will find it no unpleas- ant experience. It is only when a Freshman is rude or refuses to con- form to the ordinary mode of procedure that there is any hazing. Hardly ever is there ill feeling and almost never is there any pbysical violence. The only thing in the nature of hazing is the plain speech a Freshman hears from the upper classmen about his own worthless- ness and inferiority. If he submits meekly, be will not notice it after a week or so, but if he is intractable, he isa transgressor and verily the way of the transgressor is hard. There is little sympathy for him. The second, third, and fourth years are united on this, that the Fresh- man must be taught his place. About a week after the fall term begins, the second year men give what is called the Fresher’s Coffee. Fruit and smokes and drinks are supplied and the second year men see to it that every Fresher does justice to his opportunities. He rarely objects to this part of college ex- perience for he begins to feel that the rest of the college are really anx- ious to know him. Hardly allowing time for the Freshmen to recover from the ‘‘Cof- fee,’ come the ‘Fresher brekkers.’’ These are given by the second year men and for the same purpose. Every second year man gives a LITERARY DEPARTMENT 183 breakfast to the Freshman class. Though this sounds pleasant, it is really formidable, for the breakfast consists of three or four courses of fish, meat and eggs, besides numerous lighter edibles designed to save the unsophisticated Fresher from the danger of stopping too suddenly. He finds them always substantial, generally agreeable and never fatal. They may well be termed the crowning feature of Oxford social sys- tems. With the addition of the numerous luncheons, afternoon teas, and after-dinner coffees which the men in college have in their rooms, it can be seen that no one cau complain that he has not had a chance to get acquainted. ‘Truly is it said, that that man who can live three terms in Brasenose without making many friends, is most fearfully and wonderfully made. THE HARVARD SPIRIT Louis A. TURLEY, '03 [The following is an extract from a personal letter written by Mr. Turley toa member of the Annual staff, and is used by permission. ] This college, I think, of all American colleges is unique in its lack of college spirit, or the peculiar kind there is here. The spirit is more that of a town in which each goes about his own business regardless of every one but a small circle of friends whom common interest has brought together. It requires a big event to stir up the place as a whole. But when they do rise, they rise like an army and stand for old Harvard until the dust of the last foe has settled, when each quiet- ly returns to his work as though nothing had happened. The greatest loyalty to Harvard and the greatest college spirit is shown by the old- er alumni. ‘They show an interest in the institution and respond to her every call and need with a devotion like to the devotion of a loving child to an aged mother. But of the present students, a third are sent here and curse the institution and faculty, another third are spending a few years as a sort of diversion until the death or age of a father or relative calls them to the head of a business, and the other third are too poor and too much concerned with getting ready to solve life's problems to the advantage of themselves and others, to care whether anyone else is here or not, or what is going on. But after they are away for a few years, they one and all recognize the debt they owe to the grand old institution and show their gratitude in every possible way. 184 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS There are about three events a year that stir up the whole college in the good old-fashioned way, viz.: the football games with Yale and Pennsylvania and the boat race with Yale. All other events pass al- most unnoticed and unknown by the great majority of students. They neither know nor care when the contests come off or who is victorious. Perhaps the greatest event of the year is the Yale football game. As the time for the event draws near you can feel the excitement. It becomes so strong that two or three days before the game comes off the men in the boarding halls become restless. Ifa man comes inside with his hat on he will receive a biscuit shower. Ifa visitor appears in the gallery he or she will be received with a deafening rattle of dishes and pounding of tables. Or perhaps the four or five hundred men ap- parently busy eating, will suddenly as if by a signal break out in a college song until you almost expect to see the windows burst with sound, or make every brick in the vast structures tremble with peal on peal of the college yell. ‘The team is cheered to the echo whenever two or three are seen together, and the last few nights the college yard is full of yelling students until almost daybreak. The day of the game everything is as silent as vacation until noon, when the crowd begins to assemble, or pass through Cambridge on the way tothe stadium in Soldier’s Field where the game is play- ed, and then the noise is of hurrying feet. No vehicles of any kind are allowed within half a mile of the stadium after 1 p.m. Every av- enue is a solid mass of humanity, literally living streams. The stadium is a horseshoe-shaped structure of steel and cement. It looks like pic- tures of the coliseum. It is about three stories high on the outside. Ordinarily it seats 35,000, but for the Yale game a false end is put in which seats 10,000 more. So that a crowd equal to the entire popula- tion of Spokane assembles in the one structure. Of such a crowd I found myself one this fall. What happened I will not attempt to tell you, for neither time nor ability are mine todo so. But I will tell you a few things as far as the game itselfis concerned. I have seen just as good between U. of I. and Pullman. But there was no rushing and swarming along the side lines. Everyone kept his seat or rose when an exciting mo- ment came. Yale was seated on one side and Harvard on the other. In the centre of either side sat the rooters of the respective sides. Up the three stories of steps, on both sides was a solid bank of men with a band next the arena to lead in the music. The remainder was a vari- egated mass of gay and sober clothes. But they were all one when it came to yelling. The women waved their banners and yelled as though they had been students of the two institutions. Harvard had about thirty yell leaders stationed along their side and the two ends, LITERARY DEPARTMENT 185 and in giving the signals they moved as one man. From before the players came on the field until the visitors left the stadium, it was a volcano which belched forth, yell after yell and song after song that could be heard for miles around. But the grandest sight I ever saw was when the Harvard band struck up ‘Fair Harvard.’’ The bank of Harvard rooters about two thousand strong rose and waving their hats and banners sang ‘‘Fair Harvard’’ as if the whole game depended on that one song, and men old enough to be our grandfathers rose like veterans at the sound of martial music, and added their weak voices to reverberating thunders of song. COAT-TAILS AND CHARACTER Haze. M. Morrow, ’08 O men, beware! Your coat-tails may betray you. They havea remarkable way of keeping time to your characteristics. Just now a man passed and his coat-tails plainly said, “I'll have to hurry. Iam commissioned with a matter of importance which must be attended to at once. Mother will have to bring the coal herself, This has to be seen to, and I’m the only man on earth that can do it well,’’ and away they waggled determinedly, positively, down the hill in the wake of their unsuspecting wearer, telling all the world his business. Close behind him came another man walking slowly and dragging his feet. ‘“‘I’m lazy. I don't care what folks think of me,’’ his coat-tails murmured half asleep as they dangled languidly afier him. Then a smug looking gentleman strutted along, his short tan overcoat fastened up neatly and a pink carnation in his buttonhole. Behind him his coat-tails followed closely. Indeed they were on most affectionate terms with his trousers. ‘They cast a shrinking glance behind them at Mother Grundy and sang in a high piping voice, ‘‘I’m stingy. Any old lady will tell you that if you show her how tight my coat-tails cling. You can’t squeeze a cent outof me. I didn’t buy this bou- quet, it dropped out of a little girl’s basket, but I’m all right just the same. All the ladies admire me.’’ On they went, these coat-tails, sending their jangling voices back up the hill to a grassy bank where a group of dainty maidens sat silent, eager with hand toear. As the message of the last coat-tail swept into their minds they paled a trifle, glanced at each other anxiously, then, reassured, said with one voice, “Vo,” it is too great a risk. I will stay with father. TO OUR HEROES JOKE DEPARTMENT EDITORIAL REFLECTIONS ‘Tis better to have lived and laughed at the FACULTY than never to have laughed at all.

All savage men he daunted not nor feared, For niggers had he fought across the sea, (' So shoulder straps there were that disappeared, 27 fp When ‘“Lilty’? up and docked our old friend 4 Leigh. 4.

JOKE DEPARTMENT 195 DESCRIPTION OF A FEW OF THE RAREST ANIMALS AND 2. BIRDS TO BE FOUND IN THE «VARSITY MUSEUM” (Taken from the fossiliferous remains of their ancestors. ) 1. Sormanera Charla. Species, smoking Hyena. A dis- tinct type in itself. Vagarious, non- aquatic. Habitat: Stage wings and dark street corners. Massive, but harmless to the human race. Lives on hopes, calculus and Schlitz. Prey, Bull-Durham, matches and other fruit. White herbertorus. (Mammoth-fanged.) Species, unknown, Habitat, the Commandant’s office, ‘‘Dorm,”’ and other places. Lives on briar pipes, smiles, kisses, and an honorable discharge from the army. Prey, Commissions, should- er-straps and anything pertaining to the military. Migrates to Boise during the summer months. Manning outang. Species Kootenai county ape. Habitat, the entire university, but is more liable to be found on front seats and in the president's private office. Thrives in any climate, but best in official circles. Prey, Diamond Dick, Punch, Puck, and other fruit. Very im- portant, being the only one of its type in the ‘‘Varsity museum.”’ Agathorum Sonnatis. Species turtle dove, Habitat, ballrooms, drugstores, and other exclusive places. Haunts recitation rooms, and is an everlasting terror to Freshmen. This species often utters alow ‘'Goo Goo’’ when Prof. Cogswell and others approach. Lives on motto lozen- ges and English literature. Prey, red ink and examination pa- pers. This bird usually rides in guinze centime cabs, but isa good walker. In some localities is known as “Bright-eyes.’’ Midgit Brucofus. Species, Latah county Tight-in-gale.

Utters a shrill ery of ‘‘By JUDAS” when any human being mentions money Prey, Rhodes scholarships, uncooked food, physical cul- ture magazines and various other fruit. 6. Ahtreb Danlwen. Species, sage-brush starling. Often confused with the North- ern Wa Ho bird, but distinguished from the latter by its gaudy plumage and peculiar Squawk when asleep. Uttersa shrill cry of “Skidoo” when attacked and is a menace to the other birds on ac- count of its immense size. Habitat, Ridenbaugh hall in the day- time and the campus at night, but has been known by many to frequent cosy corners, door steps, ‘‘Gym’’ steps and the woods, Prey, rouge, peau de Espagne, Colgate’s, talcum, hair pins and other fruit. Lives on lobsters (two-legged and broiled.) WHO KISSED HIM? ASK PROFESSOR GURNEY The girls stood in an expectant circle, every ribbou alert, every ruffle ftuttering. Sonieone led him in. He wasa professor, a timid, precise new professor. His faced was daubed in honor of Hallowe’en with red and black streaks which blended strangely with his dignified mien. ‘The girls in their relief because it was only a fake forgot that their own faces were similary decorated. Someone slipped behind him and tied a handkerchief over his eyes. Then there was a moment’s si- lence. ‘To the blindfolded professor it seemed that St. Simon Stylites could surely never have so wearied of standing on his legs, for he would surely melt and run away under the gaze of all those feminine eyes. But it was not yet time to run. He heard a dainty rustle, an arm slipped up and coquetted with his coat collar. He felt the nearness of—no, not a girl’s face! Something soft brushed against his lips. Then to the horror of his benumbed senses, it resolved itself into two petals which suddenly puckered, and parted with a resounding smack. He was kissed. ‘The blindfold slipped from his eyes, and, as he stood there abashed, looking sadly, reproachfully at the hysterical circle of girls, he did not see a pair of black coat-tails flying out of the door behind him.

University oF IpAHo, Jan. 7.—During the dinner hour yester- day a freshman, whose name cannot at present be divulged, was se- verely startled by noticing upon his plate what appeared to him to be a meteorite. All investigations as to how the heavenly body got there were in vain for the time being, but subsequent findings of the fresh- man himself, who is a student in geology, brought out the fact that the missive came from the direction of the kitchen. This fact brought new complications, and the student, thinking that he had discovered a new planet, took the meteorite to the station chemist to have it ana- lyzed. ‘The chemist, after much careful research work, pronounced it to be a piece of liver in the first stages of petrifaction Fora further anal- ysis it was necessary to crush the substance in one of Prof. Janes’ rock morters. Had the freshman been exceedingly hungry, and swallowed the substance, it is difficult to say what might have happened. Let us hope that such dangerous agents may be kept under surveillance in the future. 201 202 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS | CALENDAR MARCH, 1906 March 26—Squirt gets loose.

The foe opened upon our noble right wing with an immense battery of two hundred guns, and it was thought by the commanding officer that an attempt would be made to turn our left. The smoke of conflict grew denser and denser, and even now, throngh the deathly mist that hung o’er the battlefield, it was seen that the enemy had taken up a strong posi- tion immediately commanding our center. All seemed lost, when to the ever-fertile mind of our general came a plan, that later proved to be a coup d’etat forour forces. The Irresistible Battalion of the Forty-second regiment of the University cadets was ordered to repel the enemy. The battalion marched to the fray. In front of the battalion was the band. In front of the band was the drum-major. The signal was given and at the first note the band played so r-r-r-r-r-otten that ten thousand of the enemy fell dead. Prof —-Mr. Burley, suppose you tell us about the velocity of light.

Realizing the responsibility of their position, they considered it was their place to furnish wholesome amusement for the party, in order to prevent the minds of the youthful merry-makers from turning to games of the lighter kind, such as they would not be willing to partake of un- der the eye of society. Phil suggested that they play ‘‘Bunny.”’ ‘All right,’’ says Ruth; ‘‘ You show me how.” ‘““Give me your hand,’’ Phil answered; whereupon the willing member was gladly surrended, After Phil had held it for about half an bour, Ruth inquired when he was going to show her how to play “ Bunny,’’ ‘““Why,’’ says Phil; “I have been playing it for the last half hour.”’ One link in a fast-developing romance was accidentally found not long ago in the form of a note which had been lost on the street. ‘I'he note follows: Er braucht nicht zu schreiben: ‘Und dann konnen wir einander erzahlen wie wir einander lieben. Er hielt fast bei jeder Gelegenheit. Nicht wabr?”’ The letter was addressed: ZUM WOHL BEKANNTEN GELIEBTEN, HERR WILFRED, STRASZE DER LIEBSHAFTEN, Moscow. It was latter learned who the individual was who wrote the letter, and that this sort of note was written since it became necessary for the younger sister tocarry the notes and she was unable to read German. Any information that will aid in ferreting this mystery out will be gladly received. Miss Sonna refused to go to the Alpha Delta Pi dance with Aunt Nancy, and then because the girls would not give her the man whom she wanted, she tried to form a conspiracy to send them all before the discipline committee for cutiing a class under her in order to get ready for the dance. 208 GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS SUPPRESSION OF SCANDAL First Report of the Committee Appointed for That Purpose I: The rigid investigation following the app ointment of the scandal committee has revealed many striking and important facts in regard to tha case of Charles Eichelberger and the dormitory girl. ‘The commit- tee would recommend dealing rather leniently with the defendant in the case, for though the investigation brings out the fact that Mr. E. approached the young lady concerned very timidly and excitedly and possibly did not make bimself understood, still further investigation has brought forth the fact that the young lady is somewhat deaf. The evidence seems to be very decisive on this point, for it reveals the fact that a number of similar circumstances on the part of the young lady have occurred. The committee would recommend that the fol- lowing point be especially impressed upon the mind of Mr. E., should he again at any time desire the company of the same young lady. He should have a written contract drawn up (better have a lawyer do it), go before a notary public (Dr. Maclean will do), and have the young lady sign it. Then should any difficulty occur at the ““Dorm’’, the contract can be produced and thus matters satisfactorily adjusted. II SUPERIOR, WIs., MARCH 20, ’05. DEAREST FLORENCE:- Though I haye been absent but a short time my heart already aches for those fond embraces, the sweet glances of those tender eyes, and the many little soft assurances of love that have voluntarily escaped from those dewy lips. It is needless for me to say, tootsey, how I miss our many little feeds together, as well as the happy evenings together building air castles in the shadow of the old ‘ Dorm.”’ It was hard for me to comprehend, fully, the meaning of true love before I left your side. Now my heart is aflame with it, and it seems to me as though countless ages have passed since I last saw you. JOKE DEPARTMENT 209 Sometimes I fear that you will forget me, a poor miner, and then again, when I think of the time when you drew me near and told me of your love that would never change, I find happy consolation.
