A. Brannon resigned his position as chief execu- tive of the University in the spring of 1917, the vacancy which he left seemed too big to fill. Disorganization was rapidly extending through the university force; the school seemed to be approaching disintegration. The first intimation that there were better things ahead came with the appointment of Dr. Enoch A. Bryan to succeed E. O. Sisson as Com- missioner of Education, and this intimation became a certainty when word was received that Dr. E. H. Lindley had been offered and had accepted the presidency of the University. No one needs to be told the story of the succeeding months. Upon his arrival President Lindley was confronted with an infinite disorgani- zation; within a month the entire plant was running with the smoothness and precision of a great Corliss. Team-work had come, and all minor differences were lost sight of in loyalty to the common ideal of a bigger, better University. This unity of purpose did not extend only to the faculty, and student body, and those intimately connected with the University—it extended throughout the State. The people, through President Lindley's efforts, have come to realize that Idaho is not “‘a University’’ abstract and in- tangible, but “their University,” concrete and usable. They have come to look upon it as an asset. This, then, is the work that has been done by President Lindley during his first year. It has been a big task to accomplish, and there are bigger ones ahead. But he has the confidence of faculty, students, and citizens, and, with such support, we feel that he will bring into reality that ideal of every student, past and present: “A bigger and better Idaho.” Page § ANAT eee ese UUTHNUTUAHU ULL LLU es iY ILLICIT HMM | i ' HI WAH Hh GREETING In this, the sixteenth volume of “The Gem of the Mountains,” the staff has endeavored to set forth the history of the current college year. We have tried to portray accurately the major facts and events in the student life—have tried to include a record of everything which the graduate would cherish in years to come. Needless to say, we have fallen short of our ideal, and also needless to say, the book will be criticised. We realize now the futility of attempting to catch and set forth in print the true significance of our college life. Nothing but years of experience in the world will bring that deep sense of loyalty and devotion to our Alma Mater, which is the true “‘college spirit.” So we say “Bon Voyage! to the ‘19 Gem, hoping only that in the future its printed record of college life will bring back happy memories of undergraduate years.

The potential wealth in minerals, forests, and soil is beyond computation, But Mae nature has conspired against the unity of her people. Huge mountains, deep canyons, and vast distances sunder communities. As a friendly observer put it, ‘Idaho socially is a series of islands.” Just as the obstacles to a material conquest were overcome by a mighty race of pioneers, so the obstacles to social and political unity challenge us. How can this unity of the people of Idaho be attained? First, by railways and good highways. The development of the mineral wealth of the state may in time be counted upon to bring the railways. Mean- while, education must be the chief reliance as the bond of union. Cecil Rhodes was one of the supreme empire builders of his day. He saw in education the cement of empire. His statesmanship found perhaps its highest expression in his provision for the Rhodes scholar- ship whereby the promising youth, the future leaders of the colonies and of the United States, could live and study together in the same uni- versity. These choice young men were to saturate themselves with the great traditions and ideals of the British nation. Best of all, they were to enjoy acquaintance with one another and to attain mutual under- standing. The method that served Britain in building an empire can serve Idaho in building a commonwealth. Our state enjoys an unified policy of public education. Idaho has the advantage, moreover, of an unified State University. Most of the great vocations are represented in the respective professional schools. The vision and ideals of modern civili- zation find expression in the course of study in the College of Letters and Sciences. The ideals of service and of citizenship for Idaho and the Nation are within its walls. In increasing number the future leadership of the State is being trained at the University. Intellectual and personal efficiency in the light of the best modern knowledge are among the aims of the educational program of the University. Through its agencies, Science, which is the chief victor in the present war, finds a home. The social spirit, the larger conception of fellowship and of team work, is taught and practiced in this University of the people. The University thus becomes an indispensable organ of the higher life of the State. The University of Idaho, loyal to these conceptions, seeks to be the instrument for the development for the unity of the people of the State. It calls upon every loyal son and daughter of Idaho for cooperation in this great enterprise. “Idaho” for Idaho! é: : : President.

Founded at the time when Idaho was just assuming the dignity of Statehood, it received its full share of trials and disturbances concomitant with establishment of the commonwealth. The founding of the University was authorized by Act of Legislature in 1889, and during the fall of that year the contract for the first “Ad” building was let. It was not until three years later, however, that the University of Idaho formally opened its doors to the students of the State. Franklin B. Gault was president of the University, and he and one other professor constituted the faculty. The student body proper numbered six. The first graduating class was in 1896. From this time on the University enjoyed a steady, sure growth. The curriculum was enlarged and the faculty was increased to adequately care for the growing student body. In 1898, President F. B. Gault was succeeded by President James P. Blanton, who held that office until 1900, when James A. McLean was chosen to direct the affairs of the University. Advent of President McLean began a new era for Idaho—the Uni- versity took a “place in the sun. This period was not without its set- backs, however, for in 1906 the Administration building was burned. This was replaced in 1909-10 by the new Administration building. In 1909 the College of Law was added to the University organization, and has enjoyed a steady growth. In 1914, Dr. M. A. Brannon was selected to succeed President Mc- Lean, who had resigned, and under his leadership the work done by his predecessors came to fruition. It was during his administration that the University gained recognition as an institution fostering the best in scholastic attainment. Her work was accepted by the leading universi- ties, and her graduates were recognized as qualified and competent men and women. Dr. E. H. Lindley was chosen by the Board of Education to succeed President Brannon upon his resignation in 1917, and the period of his administration has already been as distinctive for its growth and advance- ment as that of his predecessors. For the first time a unity of purpose prevails among all connected with the school. Improvements and addi- tions to the equipment have been made. This, then, is the history of Idaho. It divides itself into eras, each corresponding to the administration of the presidents, and each marked y progress. May it ever be thus.

As was the case last year, the improvement has taken place in all branches of athletics, although football and basket ball take the biggest place in the limelight. The records of these two Silver and Gold teams put Idaho once more on the athletic map of the Northwest. Both coaches accomplished seemingly impossible tasks in turning out winning teams with a limited amount of material. This was especially true of the basket-ball five. Not a letter man returned to school, and Hec built his championship machine from green material. The results attained are sufficient proof of his success and ability as a coach. In football, Coach Bleamaster was likewise hampered by the scarcity of seasoned material, but pulled the team through the season with the best record of any Idaho eleven since 191 3. In track and baseball, the seasons have not progressed far enough to warrant any predictions, but there are many promising candidates for both the branches, and it is safe to predict that the records in these sports will measure up to the standard set by the others.

' i IIIT UIA AT uy | The Football Season Idaho's football team had the most successful season this year since 1913, and when one stops to consider the problem which faced Coach Bleamaster when he issued the call for candidates, this record is all the more noteworthy. Of last year's letter men only four returned, and but five of the first string subs. A center, two guards, two halves and a fullback had to be developed. To make matters worse, the team had only two weeks and a half in which to prepare for the first game, which was with O. A. C. at Pendleton. No time was wasted, however, and the work began. On October 20 the team met O. A. C. at Pendleton and though outweighed fifteen pounds to the man, succeeded in outplaying their heavy opponents throughout the first half. In the third quarter the weight began to tell, and the heavy O. A. C. backs rammed the light Idaho line for consistent gains. Four touchdowns were put over. Rob- erts made Idaho's only score when he caught a pass and raced 30 yards for a touchdown. The final score was 26-6. The next Saturday the team journeyed to Eugene and met the Uni- versity of Oregon. Idaho completely outplayed her rival and tripled her yardage, but costly fumbles and poor judgment gave Oregon two touchdowns. Score, 14-0. On November 3 Idaho met Pullman on the home field. Pullman had the advantage in weight and experience, but the Idaho eleven held them to one earned touchdown. Fumbles and a referee's decision ac- counted for two more. The score was 19-0. The entire team fought to the last down, and the rooters were satisfied. After a two weeks’ rest Whitman came up, bent on taking the Idaho scalp, but two minutes after the game opened it was apparent that it would be “the other way round.” Idaho's backs ploughed through the Missionaries for big gains. Thompson scored two touchdowns and kicked two field goals, only one of which was allowed. Score, 16-0. The Thanksgiving game was played with Montana at Missoula. Again the fighting spirit of the team won over superior weight, and the Bruins took a 14-3 beating. This ended the season. Roy Thompson, fullback, was chosen as all-Northwest halfback, and several other players were mentioned for the honor. The Freshman team, composed of McCarthy, r.e.; Macy, r.t.; Lewis, r.g.; Graf, c.; Stephens, l.g.; Kinney, |.t.; Stephens, l.e.; Ryan, q.; Cor- nelison, r.h.; Brigham, |h., and Irving, full, played a schedule of four games, winning from the Moscow and Lewiston High Schools and losing to Gonzaga University and to the W. S. C. Freshmen. Since first-year men are eligible, and Coach Bleamaster and most of the letter men return next fall, the students are lecking for another successful season.

This army team is of particular interest to Idaho rooters, as three of its members played on the Idaho eleven during their college days. “Turk” Gerlough (third from right in bottom row) played fullback and end on three Idaho teams. In 1916 he was mentioned by Walter Camp as one of the 100 best players in the game. He played left half on the Camp team and was the chief offensive unit in their attack. Fred Graf (third from right in top row) played right half on the 1917 Varsity. He was a strong defensive player, and a good broken- field runner. Grover Evans, right end on the team, was sick at the time the picture was taken. “Wild Cat,” as he was better known, was the hardest hitting end on the 1916 Varsity, and his aggressiveness was a big factor in its success. — | | MI HMM PUT HU ITI | || i Hl HI The Basket-Ball Season When Coach Edmundson called the first varsity practice in November the outlook for another successful basket-ball season was dark. Not a single letter man of the machine of the previous year was in school, the subs who turned out were not of varsity caliber, and though there were some promising men among the Freshmen, these were not eligible, due to the first-year rule. The first ray of light came when the first year eligibility rule was suspended. From the material now eligible Hec selected the following team: Moe and Hunter, forwards; Campbell, center; Lindley and Gene Hyde, guards. The Vandals’ first test came when they met Whitman here. After a brief period of stage fright the team found itself and scored on the Missionaries almost at will. The game ended with Idaho on the long end of a 52-26 score. The second game was also won, as were the two games with Pullman, the two with Montana, and the Whitman game at Walla Walla. The championship was cinched when Idaho won the third game from W. S. C. When Captain Hunter was forced to drop out, the winning streak was broken, one game being lost to Montana and one to W. S. C. Idaho's team was easily the best in the Northwest, and Moe, forward, and Campbell, center, were given places on the All-Northwest five. onsen ee ase 10 2 .833 YO A Ol, SI es ee oe ee 6 6 500 i , Ce ae ea Se ee 3 5 375 Piminaneeeeee ee oe ee 1 7 ee Scores iGhloe 52 Whitnan:() 2 ee ee 26 |S A ojs ae eee 43 Whitman) 22 es 20 Chive ea 51 Montane: 1 eee 17 IG CS. 8 = Sr 43 Montana) 258-8 a ae 20 Oe a 46 W: S.'

Last year only teams from the north were -represented, but this year the management conducted it on a state-wide plan. Elimi- nation tournaments were held in the three southern districts, and the winning teams contested for the state honors at Moscow. The tournament was held March 14 and 15 and eleven high schools were represented. The schools were: Moscow, Coeur d'Alene, Lewis- ton, Bonners Ferry, Sandpoint, Wardner-Kellogg, Post Falls, Nez Perce, Sugar City, Twin Falls and Boise. Elimination games were played on the | 4th, the finals being staged the following day. Several upsets occurred, and Nez Perce, which was considered completely out of the running, went into the final game with Moscow. Nez Perce led for a short time, but could not hold the pace. Moscow won by a score of 26-16, thus winning the state cham- pionship for the second time. After the game a dance was given the high school men, at which the members of the championship Vandal machine were hosts. An All-State team was picked, the line-up being as follows: Forwards— Center— Guards— R. Fox, Nez Perce Thompson, Moscow Miller, Nez Perce Wyman, Boise Cozier, Moscow Page 103 HL ; it HH ii WT - hin ’ — P. a ge it M ll AAI ll ; [ IA I IIIA ; ' MMII HUH The Track Season Due to the unsettled conditions prevailing last spring, Idaho's dual track meets with Whitman, W. S. C. and Montana were called off. This season, however, Coach Edmunson has again scheduled meets, and Montana and W. S. C. are to be met in dual meets, and in a tri- angular which will be held at Pullman during the latter part of May. The Idaho team is captained this season by Jack Richmond, Rich- mond is a sprinter, and in his freshman year won first place in the hundred-yard dash at the Conference meet, his time being ten flat. This year he has already stepped the distance in 10:1! and will undoubtedly win the dashes for Idaho in the meets. Other sprinters are scarce. Schodde, touted as a comer, left school early, and the others training are hardly of varsity caliber. In the distances and middle distances Idaho has three strong men in Luttropp, Rosinbum and Campbell. Luttropp is the best of the three, and his distance-devouring stride will mean quite a few points for the Silver and Gold. Campbell is a two-miler. Rosinbum is a reliable man in the mile and a half. The graduation of Massey and Gerlough left a big hole in the ranks of the 440 men. McCallie, a freshman, has shown possibilities in this race and Eaton and Bistline may also arrive. In the jumps and pole vault, Burke, Perrine and Romig seem best, although none is showing varsity stuff. Moe in the broad jump is clearing better than 20 feet, and may come up. Hurdles are taken care of by Perrine, Moe and Howard. In the weight events there is more material. Perrine, Pearson and Irvine are a formidable trio in these events. Perrine has a record of 40 ft. 5 in. in the shot, with the other two close behind. In the javelin, Irving has a heave of better than 174 ft. to his credit, while Pearson is leading the discus men with a hurl of over 117 ft. From this it may be seen that the team will be fairly well balanced, and under Hec’s supervision creditable results may be expected.

All the high schools in the state are invited to send representatives, but as in the case of the basket-ball tournament, the southern schools hold elimina- tion meets to decide which men shall represent their section. The last interscholastic track meet was held in 1916. This meet was won by the Colfax (Washington) High School, with 36 points. Lewiston, with 18, and Boise, with 10 points, finished second and third. Nordyke, star sprinter of Colfax, was high point winner. One record was broken when Nordyke ran the 220-yard hurdles in 27 seconds. Colfax received the trophy for winning the relay. In the evening of the last day of the meet the classes of the University put on a stuntfest and song contest. Prizes are awarded for the best efferings in each line. The medals are also awarded the high school men, and the Varsity “‘l'’ and blankets are given to those earning them. The interscholastic is one of the best methods whereby Idaho comes into contact with the high schools of the State, and the management spares no effort to insure success. PWN NTR amar TTT 22 Page 108 ' } | The Baseball Season Last year’s record in baseball, while not up to the standard set by the football and basket-ball teams, was nevertheless creditable. Idaho fin- ished second in the East Side Conference, W. S. C. taking first and Montana last. Whitman canceled its games. The early season practice games were won without much trouble, and after dividing a series with Montana at Missoula, the “I” men took the Bruins into camp in two tight games when the Montanans appeared in Moscow. Pullman was scheduled as the next victim, but their team work proved too much for Idaho, and the team lost both games. This year the outlook is less bright, as there are only four letter men out. Captain Almquist and Coach Bleamaster are working hard to whip the squad into shape, and the fans will at least see a fighting team.

If SIMIAN AA Debate Season Intercollegiate debating at Idaho closed for 1917-18 with the dual de- bate between the University and Whitman College, April 12. The year has been a successful one for Idaho, her debaters winning three out of five contests. The first debate of the year was a dual with W. 5S. C., December 14, on the ques- tion, “Resolved, that in their prac- tical workings the government of England was more democratic than that of the United States immedi- ately preceding the present war.” Idaho won both debates. The affirmative was upheld for Idaho by Ralph Gochnour, Walter Sandelius and Ernest Lindley, and the negative by Charles Darling, Richard Ott and Clarence Taylor. The University of Montana was met in a single debate at Missoula, March 29. In this debate the Uni- versity of Idaho defended the negative of the question, “Resolved, that the program outlined by the American League to Enforce Peace should be adopted by international agreement at the close of the present war.” Montana won by a 2-to-| vote of the judges. The Idaho team con- sisted of Richard Ott and Walter Sandelius. A special feature of the closing contest of the year between Whitman College and Idaho was the fact that for the first time Idaho was repre- sented in an intercollegiate debate by a woman. Miss Dorothy Forch, a freshman, and Alvin Denman, junior, debated Whitman in the Uni- COACH MILLER versity auditorium, winning the unanimous decision of the three judges. Ralph Gochnour and Carl Burke, both freshmen, represented Idaho on the negative of the question in the debate at Walla Walla. Whitman won at Walla Walla, securing the vote of Prof. H. C. Fowler of Lewiston Normal, who acted as the single judge. The question debated was the same as that used in the Idaho-Montana debate, except that the feasi- bility of the initiation of the program of the American League was granted.

C Gould Anderson Keller Addy MeCallie Voss Thomas Paris Herrington The Women’s Association The Women's Association of the University of Idaho was organized in the spring of 1915. Its membership consisted of all the women stu- dents of the University, while its purpose is the “control of all matters of special interest to the women students. In 1917 the association took control of Campus Day with the aim of making the day stand for the best democratic ideals. The morning was given over to general campus improvements and the afternoon to entertainment. The association has had charge also each year of the women’s rally for the Pullman game. This year a very successful dance was held just before Christmas holidays. The entire proceeds were given to the Moscow Chapter of the Red Cross.

The organization was perfected that year, and several social affairs were given. The object of the organization is two-fold: to promote a greater fellowship and solidarity among the non-fraternity men, and to promote the welfare of the University. Much has been accomplished by the organization along the first line, chiefly by a series of get-together smokers and dances. The activities of the organization were somewhat curtailed by the uncertainty brought about by the war, but, as a whole, results have been satisfactory. Officers President... 2 eee Ralph N.

GILL of the Idaho Law School Bench and Bar Association This association was formed in 1912 and is composed of all the law students of the University. The Bar Association has made it possible for the members of the first, second and third year law classes to meet in a body and deliberate on matters of peculiar and vital interest to the law school and its members. It has been responsible to a marked degree for the adoption and establishment of the “Honor System” in the law school. Through the association several prominent lawyers and judges have been brought to the school to speak before the members. This is the only law association in the University which represents the entire school as one body. @hiel lushice eee Fred Hanson Associate Justice______________ — Marvin M. Carnahan Page 140 Page i4i The String Trio The University String Trio is the newest musical organization on the campus, yet it has already earned a place for itself. It was organized last fall, and under the direction of Professor Storer has developed into an efficient musical unit. It has appeared at assembly several times during the school year, and has scored a decided success at each ap- pearance. The organization assisted in a series of recitals given by the piano department last fall, and has appeared in various concerts for the benefit of the Red Cross.

The uncertainty brought about by the draft made a Glee Club of definite members out of the question, and Professor Storer did not judge it worth while to conduct any tours without the best. With the incentive of the trips withdrawn, the interest of the singers in the work began to lessen, and the club was discontinued by common consent. The same fate overtook the Treble Clef Club. The two organizations were combined, however, and merged with the Cecelian Choral Society. This musical organization, under the direction of Professor Storer, and with the assistance of the University singers, presented Gounod's ‘Gallia.’ They were assisted by Mrs. Mable Dilts, soprano, of Spokane; by the University Orchestra; and by Homer McDonald. The concert was an entire success. In addition to this the Military Band and the University Orchestra have appeared in several student concerts during the year. Piano, vocal, and instrumental solos are also rendered at these concerts. They have been well received. The feature of the work of the Piano Department this year was a series of three vesper services which were given in the University auditorium, under the supervision of Miss Alice Tuller, head of the department. The services were well attended both by students and townspeople. Page 143 Il INUULANUUILLAULUULI HATA ' ! ANAL Traditions Every year sees a change in Idaho's traditions; some are dropped, others inaugurated, those retained modified or made more stringent. The present year witnessed the passing of the ancient and honored cus- tom of “The Old Guard.” This originated with the return of the Idaho soldiers from the Spanish-American War, but soon degenerated into a burlesque, and for years “The Old Guard was as big an attraction as the inspection itself. The entrance of the United States into the war, however, automatically relegated this custom to the scrapheap. Next in importance comes the Pullman rally and bonfire. This tradi- tion has existed since the founding of the two schools and each year sees a revival of the spirit in all its old-time fervor. The girls’ rally has become a part of the affair. The bonfire needs no explanation. Another tradition to be modified in the past years is that of the Freshman-Sophomore Class Fight. In ye olden days this took the form of a flag rush. This became too strenuous, however, and a regulated scrap was substituted for it. This is held early in October. The Bury- the-Hatchet Party is held in the evening of the same day. Campus Day has established itself as a tradition, and it has also under- gone change. The morning is spent in campus improvements, and in the afternoon other forms of entertainment have taken the place of the May-pole dance. The “Senior Sneak has now reached the dignity of a tradition, and the Green Cap, of course, always was. Senior canes are likewise making a bid for this distinction. Idaho has other traditions than these which have to do with character and genuine manliness. The no-hazing tradition is an example, and in the four years in which it has existed it has not been violated. The Idaho tradition of clean play in athletics is known on every field and basket-ball court in the Northwest. And the tradition of fair play in the classroom is equally strong. Some there are who question the value of traditions. This attitude comes from regarding them in the wrong light. Tradition is a legacy from the past—and a legacy which is entrusted to us to guard for a few years, and then pass on to new defenders. It is our duty to our- selves, to those who come after us, and to Idaho, that we guard it well. Page 144 | ccc. : eI NAAT Se UUVMUUIUUM UUM the age 445 CAPTAIN LUTHER FELKER U. 8. A. Retired Commandant of Cadets THE MILITARY DEPARTMENT Under the administration of Captain Luther B. Felker the Military Department has been built up to the greatest possible efficiency. Since the admission of the University into the Reserve Officers Training Corps, four complete years of military work can be obtained. Due to the present national crisis the work has been taken up with greater interest than in past years; practically all the men of the Junior and Senior classes have taken advantage of the advanced work and the extensive equipment which has been furnished by the government. No encampment was held this year, but the time was given over to intensive training in both the American and English system of bayoneting, grenade throwing, trench work, and practical military field problems. The annual Federal inspection of the Cadet Battalion was held on Saturday, April 20, by Lieutenant Cyrus F. Dugger, N. A. Lieutenant Dugger gave the battalion a very thorough inspection. The report which will go to headquarters will undoubtedly rank Idaho higher in the mili- tary world than she has ever been before. For this high rank too much credit cannot be given Captain Felker. Company B won the highest honors in competitive drill. The officers of the winning company were: Captain Roy Thompson, First Lieuten- ant Richard B. Ott, and Second Lieutenant Pitman Atwood.

TUT WH WT Hill HLA “WITH THE COLORS” In the hall of the main entrance hangs a flag with 300 blue stars on a field of white; and in the center four white stars. The stars represent the 304 men—alumni and former students—which the University of Idaho has given to the country in answer to its call. Of these, four have given their lives. Captain Phelps Collins fell in France, while Lieutenants Dudley Loomis and Howard Holaday, and Private L. A. Ellington paid the price of their devotion at the training camps in this country. The men that Idaho has sent are not all of recent classes; the enlist- ments include members of the graduating classes of the past twenty years. Every college and department in the University is represented; the enlistment of the students in the College of Law was so heavy that not one member of the 1918 class was left in school. Engineering, Agriculture, and Arts and Science, all are represented on Idaho's honor list. The athletic teams have furnished their quota, and those who claim that athletics gives a man qualities of a fighter will find a splendid vindication of their assertion in the service flag of the athletic department. One of the biggest things in connection with the men in the service is the number who have made good at the officer's training camps. The majority of these were appointed direct from the University or from their occupation, but a large number were privates in the army who won the right to attend the camps in competition with hundreds of other men. Their work in the camps was of a high order, as may be seen by the records. In the second camp at Presidio only one man in 19 failed to receive a commission; in the Fort Riley camp 19 of 21 were recommended for commissions, and four—Wolford Renshaw ‘20, Tom Jackson 18, Bert Dingle 17, and Maurice Davison '20—were recom- mended as instructors for the next camp. The record at Camp Lewis was almost as good. The faculty is also represented, both in the ranks and among the officers. Many Idaho men are in France, and the word from “Over There” still further bears out the statement that “Idaho comes through.” She is doing her share.

She beamed with equal favor upon the City Fire Department, the Police Brigade, the G. A. R. veterans, and the Boy Scouts. She paused in her crocheting to sigh with contentment as she thought of her own son John. She wondered how long it would be before he would come along. From up the street she could hear a band playing some one of the martial airs which sounded so strange to her. They were not sober, serious pieces of music such as the bands played in the Fatherland. These roared and snorted and tooted with—she thought for a minute— “Ja, mit ‘pep’. There is no German word for that.” This band came merrily down Lincoln Avenue. Behind it marched a body of men, all wearing olive-drab uniforms. With eager eye Frau Ros- endorf scanned the faces of these young men. Ah! There he was. Look- ing straight ahead, body erect, swinging along in an easy gait to the time of the music, walked a splendid youth whose face showed marked Teutonic characteristics. “Ach, der Feine! He looks just like his father. That same curly, golden hair, those same blue eyes, that same clear and rosy face. But, after all,” she added with a touch of pride, “he has his mother's heart. Mein kleiner Johannes carries a gun, but he would not shoot a sparrow.” The parade passed down the street out of sight. Fainter and fainter came the sound of the music. Frau Rosendorf knew they had struck up a new tune, but she could not recognize it. Then, one strain came clear and strong. She knew what it was. John had sung it to her when he had been going to school. How his eyes had glowed when he sang those words! Instinctively she rose as she laboriously recalled a few words: “The Star-Spangled Banner, oh long shall it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.” Yes, it was the land of the free, and if the other men were like her Johann, it could not help but be the home of the brave. One thought disturbed her. Her other son, Karl, was still in Germany. He had married quite young. and when Herr Rosendorf decided to take his wife and younger son to America, the land of opportunity, Karl could not afford to move with his wife and three babies. He had promised to come when he had saved Page 190 ThE III | it} i} itt Wilh | up money enough. That had been seven years ago, and still he had not joined them. He would never see his father, who had died two years before while John was still in High-School. Without a word the seventeen-year- old boy had taken up the support of his mother. Many of the young fel- lows with whom he worked belonged to the militia. And he was persuaded to join them. His mother remembered how Karl had been forced to under- go three years’ military training in Germany. Truly the United States was a wonderful country where German, Frenchman, Italian, Polack and Swede lived side by side in peace and harmony. Frau Rosendorf went into her kitchen to complete her dinner. Before long her house was scented with spicy and inviting odors. The screen door at the front part of the h ouse slammed, and a deep and gay voice pene- trated into the kitchen. “Ach, Mutter! Where are you?_ I have a letter for you from Karl.” “Ach, a letter from Karl?” repeated Frau Rosendorf, eagerly reaching for it. ’ “Johann,” she said as she tore it open with trembling fingers, “maybe it she broke off and commenced to read aloud: will say “Dearest Mother and Johann: It is all settled. Marta and | will start for America on August twen- tieth oy “Hurray! interrupted John, giving his mother a tight hug. “Ach, du Schafkopf! See once, you have mussed up my nice white apron that Mrs. Gardeau gave me. Let me finish the letter.” Together they read the rest of Karl’s plans to come to America. “They are going to come, at last, ’ she said. ‘But Karl won't get to see his father.” She sat for a moment with bowed head. John fumbled with the pages of the letter aoe It was only a few days later that John read to his mother that the Crown Prince and Princess of Austria had been assassinated. Then, came rumors of threats, of the massing of troops, of treaties, and of alliances. At first, they paid little attention to them, so happy were they in their plans of Karl's coming. But the twentieth of August did not find Karl on his way to America. He was advancing with the German army on France. It was some time before Frau Rosendorf could realize that nearly all Europe was plunging into a gigantic struggle. John told her some of the things he read in the American papers. She could read for herself in the German papers. Her faith in the Fatherland was strong. The stories could not be true. The Kaiser might have ordered such things to be done, but the German people would never have obeyed. She heard about the Lusitania. Page 191 MIMI | AHI Tl || AANA | it ll I “Ach, nein,’ she said, “the ship had ammunition that exploded. Ger- many would not do so cruel a thing as sink a ship with helpless women and children on it. They are lying about the Fatherland.” She heard about Belgium. “It cannot be true. My people have suffered too much to treat others that way.” But when two years had passed and these stories were augmented by more grewosme ones, she sadly admitted: “My country is mad. The Kaiser has crushed all the feeling from Ger- many. To think my little Karl must fight, and kill because the military powers demand it. Mein Gott! Mein Sohn Karl! Who knows, he may now be——,” but Frau Rosendorf could never say the word. “No, no, she would declare to herself, “he is alive—My son Karl would not kill children and women. My boys are too good and tender-hearted.— If he were only here! The time came when vague rumors broke into definite outbursts of public sentiment. The time came when Frau Rosendorf heard a bugle sound its call, and when John rushed home to pu t on his uniform of olive-drab be- fore reporting for duty. His mother could only look at him with terrified, staring eyes. “We are called, Mutterchen. I go with the rest of our men to strike Ger- many. She has gone mad, and like a mad-dog must she be treated. You remember the song says ‘the land of the free and the home of the brave’. That is the country we are fighting for.” She watched him hurry off to report. “Yes, she whispered to herself, ‘ my boy fights for the just cause. And Karl . . . .' With a little moan Frau Rosendorf crumpled to the floor. Il. Months passed. Spring had given way to summer; and summer to au- tumn. John Rosendorf had been transported to France. December found him in place in the American sector opposite the German lines. For days they had waited. And across a narrow strip of barbed wire entangled land from which that nauseating stench arose the enemy was entrenched. The Germans expected an attack, and were lying prepared. This perpetual vigi- lance had made the soldiers beasts. Wading through thin yellow mud, be- neath their breaths they cursed their companions, their Colonel, their Kaiser. There was no sleep. There was no food. If one slackened for a moment he was in danger of death. The Colonel paced up and down, up and down among the men. His eyes did not see the suffering they were going through. His mustache bristled with scorn when he saw the least sign of weariness in Page 192 HLL i | l WANN UU | ATA | | IAAT WAN DUAN VUULALNNVUUALAANUUHH any man. Finding one of his men asleep, he had drawn his pistol, and shot him. Then, with haughty disregard for the angry looks and muttered oaths of the other men, he had replaced the pistol in its holster, and marched away. In the American trenches John Rosendorf, now Sergeant Rosendorf, had just awakened and was preparing to eat his supper before he reported for duty. He was handed a note by a messenger. There were only a few words, but a smile passed quickly across his face. Sergeant Rosendorf ate his supper, experiencing all the while strange thrills as he thought of the note and its contents. He reported for duty. As he had expected from the message, the Americans, tense with excitement, were preparing to rush the enemies’ trenches. | Tt ANA AUN ||| WU ll UUUAVVUHULUVALUALVIE INNA Hours passed. The moon rose only to be hidden by black clouds that raced over the sky. About three o'clock in the morning the Americans be- gan to advance cautiously. They had gone nearly half the narrow space between the trenches when the moon came from behind a cloud and flooded the field with its cold, indifferent light. A sharp report from the German lines showed that they were aware for the first time of the attack. Throw- ing aside all precaution, the Americans plunged forward. Sergeant Rosen- dorf prepared to jump into the German trench. The Colonel in charge of the enemy saw him. “Du verdammdter Esel, schlag! ’ he screamed. The man whom he addressed aroused himself from his stupor and leaped to attack Rosendorf. The latter parried the lunge, but his foot slipped and he fell on the bayonet. “Gott! Das war schrecklich!’ muttered the German soldier as he with- drew his bayonet. He jabbed the blood-smeared blade into the trench wall to clean it. He glanced down at the face of the man who lay dying at his feet. He started. Suddenly weak, he sank on his knees beside the American. The sallow moonlight did not clearly reveal the latter's face. Then, too, it was drawn in agony. “It can not be,” the German whispered. He passed his hand across the clammy brow of the man before him. “Mein Bruder, ist’s du? Johannes, mein lieber, kleiner Bruder, sprich,” he begged. Rosendorf opened his eyes. For a moment he stared dully up at the German. A faint smile of recognition flashed in his eyes.

He clasped John's head against his breast. He neither knew nor cared that around him a battle was being fought, that the Germans were being driven from their trench. The Colonel, like a wild beast that has been caged, rushed through the trench. He stumbled over a kneeling figure. Cursing, he shrieked: “Gog! Coward! Fight for Gott and Kaiser.” He gave the dead body a contemptuous kick. “American dog!” Karl slowly rose. He seized his bayonet. The Colonel reached for his pistol. The other, trained to action, lunged forward, and drove his weapon through the body of the officer. With a ghastly grin the Colonel reeled to the bottom of the trench. Karl picked up the pistol. The steel glittered in the light. It seemed to invite him to rid himself of all the: sorrows of his life. Repeating the words of a prayer he had learned with his brother when both were children, he raised the revolver to his forehead. . . . . And in America, Frau Rosendorf prayed that some great and beneficent Deity would save both her sons for her. —J. S§., ’20.

YN LLLLLLULUIUL HI SSAA Page 195 Cc CNN: IATA | HN Romance Romance lies everywhere. You may find it in the humble home as well as the palace; in the slums or in the heights. It may involve the ““Gentle- man of the road” or the well-bred sinecure of the do-nothing class; the fac- tory girl or the cultured debutante. So it is not strange that romance, find- ing refuge in the hearts of all men, should also seek some incongruous places for its origin. And this one—but that is getting ahead of my story, which will never do. In a little farming town in Southern Idaho, by the name of Cloverdale, lived Leona Clark. She was not of the hot-house type of girl but she was of the sturdy, independent class that has made American women world- noted. But still, deep in her heart, smouldered the spark of romance, that desire for adventure and the unusual which is infused in the soul of every red-blooded woman. But there was little time for the speculation of ro- mance in the life of Leona, for, verily, she lived by the sweat of her brow. In fact, she was the butter packer in a large creamery in Cloverdale. And Leona was a real worker. All day long she stood at her table, deftly weighing rolls of butter and with flying fingers wrapping them in the sheets of wax paper and then enclosing them in the neat cartons. She was by far the fastest worker among the many girls of the creamery and her skill occasionally was the means of gaining a few moments respite from her labor as she would have her share of the butter weighed and packed before the next batch was ready for the churns. In one of these brief mo- ments of rest the little spark of romance, fretful at its long confinement, grew restless for an opportunity to break into flame. It was a morning in early June, which may have, in a manner, accounted for the longing liberation of the little spark. The windows of the dairy were flung wide open and the odor of blooming roses floated in at the windows. Crossing swiftly to a window, Leona stood gazing dreamingly across the broad expanse of countryside. Then a little roguish twinkle lit up her eyes and soon a smile broke over her face and taking a scrap of paper from her pocket, she wrote a few lines and then returned to her work. Now in the cheese department of the creamery a young man was working —a man whose winters were spent in a great university and his summers in creameries and dairies, for he was pursuing the study of Agriculture. John Forrester was a man who could make a joke of everything that was said to him; and yet none could be more serious. Surely there was none who could be so full-hearted, so loving of an innocent joke or a battle of wits. Needless to say he was a favorite with all the employees, girls as well as men. And he was a great companion of Leona and they were often together.

But the little paper failed to find its way to the carton of one of the big cream cheeses, for John was an inquisitive individual and that night he read it. This is what he found: “Miss Leona Clark, Cloverdale, Idaho. Will the finder please drop a card to the above address?” John, sensing a capital joke, placed the slip of paper on his dresser, and went to sleep, planning his joke. He said nothing of it to Leona and in October he went back to school to the University. In November, Leona received a letter, addressed in large, masculine hand, and postmarked at the seat of the university. It contained the fol- lowing: “My dear Miss Clark: In unpacking a cheese which | had purchased for a student club of which I am the manager, | found your note and at your request am answering it. I find it hard to know just what to write in answer to so daring an in- vitation, yet the novel situation appeals to me and if you will only tell me something of yourself I will be delighted to write you a real letter.

W:.. © HUTA Ml Soon there was a continual passing to and fro of letters from the univer- sity to the little town in the south. At first they were impersonal, newsy, full of the Ititle daily adventures which were common to the lives of either. But gradually they took on an intimacy which bade fair to blossom into a different sort of relationship. Little words of endearment crept in and before they knew it, both were expressing an undying love for each other. But the game began to gall on John. It had been great sport to write the letters of another man, a creature of his mnid, to a girl he knew. It had been fun to read her letters to a man whom she believed existed and real, but, ““Dog-gone it, it had gone too far.

I simply made him up and thought it would be a joke to impersonate him, but | have gone too far. | have been a cad and | ought to be shot for so deceiving you. Won't you please forgive me? Yours, most humbly, John Forrester.” The following was received a few days later: “Mr. John Forrester: You are a heartless brute, Mr. Forrester, to deceive me like you have. You made up a man and got him to say that he loved me. And then you ask me to forgive you—lI can forgive you never, never, never. But maybe you didn’t deceive me as much as you think. Next time you undertake to pack a message for a girl in your big cream cheese, don't leave it lying on your dresser where the wind may blow it out of the window. Yours in wrath, Leona Clark. P. S.: Some men are not so bad after all, i. e., some men (and per- haps you) are not so heartless after all. So even a cream cheese may harbor a romance.

This bunch is a very athletic bunch and every man not mak- ing a letter in some branch of athletics, Mexican or otherwise, is fined a nickel. This goes into a slush fund for the Frosh election, and if any is left over, it is ap- plied on the support of the chapter ten- nis court, and in keeping the ball and both rackets in repair. In the matter of scholarships the Phi Delts are the only rivals the Kappa Sigs have, but Bill Den- ecke says that the Phis got such a good start in basketball that they want a clean sweep of all the cellar championships this year, and the faculty thinks they'll make it. In past years the Phi Delts ran an annex across the street to ac- commodate all the brethren, but now they have adopted the custom of pledg- ing town boys, and they don't need the annex any more. ay Sy AY HUI HM WANNA HU Page 201 IIIs Ue nw CCC ea NUNN NUNIT | LNAI ; ' !

Scientists claim that the perfect man is 49% feminine, and if this is true the Sigmu Nu boys are the manliest bunch of men on the campus. Their home is located near the Gamma Phis, Kappa Sigs and Professor Storer's; assuring these young gentlemen of an all-rounded education. The Sigmu Nu’'s are widely known for the parties they give and the attractive chaperones who referee them. They are very modest and hate publicity, but nevertheless take a prominent part in politics. Their candidate for May Queen has always been up in the running. All the S. N.’s believe in obeying the law, and never smoke anything but cubebs on the campus. Alpha Kappa Epsilon (Only Chapter.) Founded at the University of Idaho. Colors: Overall Blue and Axlegrease Yellow. Many are called but few are chosen. Motto: The Akes are another local fraternity, but this name doesn't mean the way they feel, but the pain they give others. They are in the same boat as the Zeta Chis, but they have a head start of a few years. The fraternity motto is “It's a long trail that has no turning”. Solomon and Benjamin Franklin both say this is so, but neither one said which way it will turn. The Ake may be distinguished from any other fraternity man by his ex- pectant look and his long, manly stride. This is acquired by walking from the Ake hill to the “U hill four times a day. Bro. Burke holds the fraternity record of 11 minutes 6 3-5 seconds for this dis- tance, but he ruined his constitution and a pair of shoes doing it. Dean Gill is a member of this bunch, and he doesn’t believe in fraternities. All the other fac- ulty members have left. ¢ Zeta Chi Alpha (Only Chapter) Founded at the University of Idaho. Colors: Mud Brown and “Smith” Red. In contrast with the Kappa Sigs, the Zeta Chis have their future in the front. They are the newest organization of men on the campus, but in spite of this they have some of the biggest and broadest men in the school. “Fat” Smith is one of the biggest and “Ferdie’ Stewart is the broadest. The trade mark and mas- cot of the Zeta Chis is a skeleton. This is very appropriate, as Bro. Red Smith works with the dead things in the cat lab, and Bro. Roy Smith runs the A, S, U. L, which is also dead. The fraternity song of this group is ‘There's a long, long trail a-winding’’. This is because they are petitioning the Sig Alphs. When the Sig Alphs visited them they thot the song very appropriate, but they couldn't phase the Zeta Chis. Beta Theta Pi (Wienerwurst Chapter) Founded at the International Corre- spondence School during the panic of 1907. Color: Dull green. A.

This group is not so athletic as the Phi Delts, but nevertheless it has some of the best spit-ball shots in the school. Its most famous inmate is Slim Swanstrom. Slim has callouses on his chest where he bumps into the doorway tops. Bro. Chester was an inmate of this gang for a while, but there was just room enough in the limelight for one. The Co-op pin is a safety pin, and is found wherever a button ought to be. This bunch is very democratic, and when you visit the Eco, you find half a dozen of them getting in the same glass of Coca-Cola. Doc. Put- man says it's unsanitary for so many to drink out of one glass, so each one has his own straw. The Co-op picnic is the biggest social event of the year. They usually walk over to the fair grounds and have it there, but this year they are go- ing to hire the Kappa Sig water wagon and go to the city park. Kappa Kappa Gamma (Koppa Man Chapter.) Founded at Moody Bible Institute. Colors: Rouge and Blond. The wearers of the key (not a Phi Beta Kappa key) are a band of ardent students, who brook with impatience any intention of their study. We have neg- lected to mention the study which they pursue eagerly. It is best shown by the National Sorority hymn made popular by Billy Sunday, who has a song called “Brighten the Corner Where You Are”, and sung to the same tune. The chorus is as follows: i} $e Se eee raters Sr IE MOU NTAINS (where «iB MIs ate Rts 3 Fuss in the corner where you are, Always in the corner where e’er you are. Give the men a sweet smile Or they won't come back again— Fuss in the corner where you are. The efficiency of this system is shown by the fact that in the matter of engage- ments the Kappas have a higher batting average than any of the other groups. The other sororities say that this is be- cause of greater discrimination of their girls, but the Kappas claim that it is on account of the greater discrimination of the men. Gussie Hamar, who has fussed everybody on the campus, including Ken. Newland and the faculty, says he believes he believes the other sororities. Some of the sisters come from Boise, where the penitentiary is, but this is no reflection on the K. K. G.’s. Gamma Phi Beta. Founded at the Fort Lapwai Indian School. Flower: Touch-me-not. Motto: “Quality, not Quantity.” This sorority is the Moscow branch of the New York 400, and the members are very popular—with themselves. It has a great many promising society buds and we know one that will soon Bloom. Sis- ter Faris (pronounced like the wheel of the same name) is a rising movie star, and has had a lot of screen experience. We hate to mention it, but this experi- ence was gained by patching up the holes in the window-screens and other screens of the house after the Pan-Hellenic has had a meeting there. The Gamma Phis distinct unselfishness was shown during the last rushing season, and they demon- strated their belief in sisterly love in its most liberal application. The Fly Jamas never mix in the campus political rows, because this is contrary to the rules of Christian Endeavor Society, and they all belong. wnt NNUAL iS Se Se ee 6 Se SESS Oe OT Se tee ees GEM OF THE “MOUNTAINS TITY TY 7 a RO ere ee wh ee 2 PCIE Eee ea ee ee Delta Gamma (Phi Delt Chapter).

In most people they are atatched in parallel planes, but sometimes they stick out at right angles, more or less. Such persons are qualified to be Pinkerton Detectives or Faculty Members. When we were young we thot of Ears chiefly as things to be washed be- fore Sunday School, or as places to have earaches in, but as our education increased and our brains expanded we found other uses. Near-sighted per- sons find them convenient things to hook spectacles onto, and as a hiding place for pencils Ears have no equal. Many a student has wasted priceless hours hunting for a pencil that was behind his own ear. As indicators of the weather the Ears have the aneroid barometer and the weather prophet backed off the map. A sharp tingling sensation is a sure indication of falling temperature. As the temperature lowers, the ting- ling is replaced by a numb feeling, showing that the atmosphere is below zero. Then the Ears freeze. When the Ears are frozen great care must be taken, as they are very brittle in this condition, and easily broken off. The Ear occupies a prominent place in literature, as such expressions as: ‘In one ear and out the other’, “Up on his ear’’, “Getting an earful’’, “From ear to ear’, “‘Lugged in by the ear’, etc., etc., go to show. Among males, Ears are not used for personal adornment, except in the case of pugilists, who sometimes wear cauliflower Ears. But among co-eds the Ear has found great favor as one may deduce from the tonnage of jew- elry suspended from the Ears of the average girl. This style of decoration is all the rage in South Africa, the Fiji islands, and it was from them that the custom has been taken. Another great advantage in having Ears is that they serve as boundaries for the mouth. Had it not been for the Ears, there is no telling where the mouth would have stopped. Perhaps it wouldn't. This is horrible to con- template. Mark Antony was one of the first men to recognize the value of Ears when he asked his audience to lend him theirs. History does not tell wheth- er or not this loan was negotiated, but it is an instance of the high repute which Ears have enjoyed since early times. Lower animals have the power to move and agitate their Ears, as for in- stance the mule. This explains why some people can wiggle their Ears. Altogether Ears are an indispensable institution. Every amateur Santa Claus who has hooked his false whiskers over them will agree with me in this statement. So | join the ear specialists in their tribute, “‘God bless the man who invented Ears’.

(Play the eight-ball, it's a cinch.) I've pledged myself to Kappa Sig. (You missed it half an inch.) 1 kind of like this college life, In fact it would be fine If we didn’t have to study. (Combination on the nine.) I'm trying out for football. (Have you got another match? The two-ball in the corner and I'll bet two-bits | scratch.) I've really got an awful case On a classy D. G. kid. Their pledge dance comes to-morrow night— You bet I got a bid. (Give it some reverse English, And you'll have to play it thin; Gee! I wish I had your luck, The ten-ball kissed it in.) I never cared for studies much, I'll never get my grades, My record's always been as black As my friend, the ace of spades. I] suppose they'll send me home from school— I'll surely be a loss, But I'll be back again next year.

M OF THE MOUNTAINS = SPITS ETE Ie teens WETTYITIY ITT English as She Is Taught The following is a collection of varied and original version of that de- lightful bit of folk poetry entitled “Mary Had a Little Lamb”. These ver- sions were copied down word for word as rendered by some of the inhab- itants of a secluded and isolated spot near the Kappa Sigma house in Mos- cow, Idaho, known as the University Campus. §¥ The reader will notice that some of the versions and the author not wishthg to destroy their authen- ticity has written just as they were rendered to him in their prose form. For further reference on the topic of Folk Poetry see G. M. Miller, “The Dra- matic Element in the Popular Ballad’. As rendered by Professor Axtell: Mary had a little lamb, But that is nothing new, For Aristotle had a lamb, And so did Homer, too. In the Oeclipus Rex there is mention of a young sheep which later his- torians have identified with the one possessed by Mary, but there has been a good deal of controversy in the matter. If great men and leaders of the nations were more conversant with the world’s history, misunderstandings of the nature would not arise. I have no doubt that the present scarcity of wool is, in part at least, caused by their ignorance on such subjects. In this country a professor of dead languages is considered a fogy. The strength of Germany in the present war may be seen by the fact that a professor of dead languages is the president of the University of Berlin. As rendered by Dr. H. Moore: Hahk, hahk the lahk From heaven's gate sings. And Mayrie’s on Her way to school. A dahling lamb Is at her heels, Which is against the rewl. “To be or not,” the teachah said, And then she turned him out. He Juli-ett the grass all up And Rome-icell about.

Miss P. French: Girls, it’s all right to have a lamb To follow you to school, But don’t talk to him in the halls For that’s against the rules. Stay in the library at night, No wandering about, And if you have to see your lamb, Don’t turn the lights all out. By G. M. Miller: “Let us turn for the moment to one of the most primitive and unsophisti- cated of popular ballads. If we approach this poem thru the anthropolog- ical, ethnological, sociological, scientific, historical point of view, we find that in all probability it occurred originally in some such form as this: “Oh! Where have you been, My dear little lamb; Oh! Where have you been My Shamois, sham, sham.” “Oh! I've been tagging Mary to school, Mother, Make my bed soon For I'm sick at my heart And | fain would lie down.” “Notice that all eight lines are in dialogue, the fourth line having three measures of inarticulate refrain. It is a tree-mendously unfortunate thing that such spontaneous expression is no longer found except among the chil- dren.” Mr. Floyd W. Gail (From his bulletin on “Poisonous Gases’’) : Mary had the cutest little lamb; She fed it on Viratrum viricle. It got jerky in its posterior extremity and a frothing at the mouth. It should have eaten Poas Frifolirms. The little darling passed away. A. J. Priest (Written for the Star Mirror) : COLLEGE PROFESSOR SCORES DECIDED VICTORY OVER QUADRUPED. One of the most sensational occurrences of the school year took place yesterday, when the Co-ed Mary attempted to surreptitiously and occultly slip one over on the professor and steal into the room followed by her devoted attendant, the lamb. A bystander gave the teacher the high sign, etc., etc. (3 columns at $2.00 per.) eM x =e UU as INT Page 210 — PR OES 2 SES BRE Rttee nner ag) The Lay of the Last Minstrel The purpose of these little rhymes Is noble—not a bit.

Canto VII “O, why is Mary like a bud?” Somebody asked of me.

Canto X Miss French, our most beloved dean, Who knows what's wrong and right, Says if you've got to fuss, to fuss Beneath a strong arc-light. Canto XI N.

To this the botanist replied: “Why, it a fact is That I have never as yet heard Of any such a practice.” “Why, yes,” she said, “it has been proven By experimentation, It makes the poor spuds’ eyes to weep, And thus saves irrigation.” Canto XII It's queer what popularity This camouflage has found, One shaves his head to hide a spot Where hair does not abound.

ER SOR OR EES See Page 215 HH mn iti i NL TT til] sm if The Library The Library of the University of Idaho is magnificent in the amount of knowledge stored on its shelves. It affords ample opportunity for the student body to steep itself in literary calm. In science and philosophy, together with household arts, one can spend hours in revelry. In addi- tion, there are books and magazines of a lighter character for those of a trivial nature. Those include “Life™” and similar publications which are chiefly to divert one's mind after the ordeal of studies. Books and bookworms are the essential figure-heads in the library. Certain couples who make the library their habitat, are fast becoming fixtures like the books, tables, and librarians. The process is tedious and usually the couple graduates before arriving at the dignity of figure- head-dom. Aside from this, the library is a meeting place for the student body. One might say that it is the melting pot for the University. Here is a blending of knowledge with that gentle art called “mixing”. The mixing is of a silent character. Silence means consent. Dates are made in this fashion. The faculty is not blind to the advantages the library affords, and several may be found there at any time during the day. Often they become so absorbed in their studies that the five-minute limit is over- stayed. The library offers unparalleled opportunity for the study of human nature. One has a fascinating and diverting avocation in attempting to discern the reasons for the presence of the studious ones. Among the girls, some come to display a new dress, a new sweater, or a novel manner of arranging the hair. Some come to knit, others to read the popular magazines and to discuss the affairs and ‘cases’ of themselves and others, while a minority come for serious work. With the men the same condition obtains. Instead of a new dress, as in the case of the co-eds, it may be a “keen” tie, or a pair of socks. They copy each others’ math problems, and spend the remainder of the time reading the society and sporting news in the “‘Argonaut’’. With the men, too, as in the case of the co-eds, there are some who come for a serious purpose. The chief purpose of coming to the library is, however, a dual one, and is shared by both co-eds and men. We are now speaking of dates. Page 216 tH DULL HU ! Hil ' , i NLNUUUUUIVOULUULUUANI FM OF THE MOUNTAINS | We have already described how the dates are made, but the prevalence of this practice is greater than is commonly supposed, even by the Dean of Women. Words are rarely resorted to, for as s oon as one speaks above a whisper, one feels the discomfort of having a chaperon present. One is confronted by the reproving eyes of the librarian, who reminds one of a mother-in-law. However, a smile, well directed, will eliminate this difficulty. Thus hours may be spent in silence—a silence that is camouflage. UU Over all this, the librarian presides. She is omniscient—omnipresent. She can make or break a romance. She is the official Recorder and Judge of dates. As we have the comptroller of currency in a clearing house, so we have the librarian as comptroller of dates in the library. ATUL From this it may be seen that the library plays an important role in student life. It has a broadening influence, mentally and socially; and though sometimes, under the crush of assigned reading we mistakenly inveigh against it, we will always look back upon it as a bright spot in our college days.

The University of Idaho fully satisfies these requirements. 1. Purpose and Field Its purpose is to serve the people of Idaho in developing and training students; in advancing the entire State educational system of which it is a part; in assisting toward the solution of economic and social problems; in furnishing expert knowledge in Agri- culture, Engineering, Forestry, Mining, Home Economics, Law, and Educational mat- ters not only to students in residence but also to all who desire it throughout the State. 2. Faculty The faculty is made up of eighty-three teachers of thorough training and efficiency attained by years of study and experience. They are deeply interested in the progress of each and all under their instruction. They know the State and its conditions and give their best efforts to its development. In addition there are fifteen workers in the agricultural extension division and fifteen agricultural county agents. 3. Equipment Its equipment is ample. It has a library of over 40,000 volumes, excellent facilities for teaching literature, philosophy, and the social sciences, and well provided labora- tories for the natural and applied sciences and for the technologies. 4. Students Its students numbered one thousand and nine in the school year of 1916-1917 and were earnest, wide-awake, and democratic. A large number of them earned their own way. Its alumni now occupy high positions and will be the future leaders of Idaho in professions, the industrial vocations, and in the building and maintenance of homes. The six colleges and the central agricultural experiment station and the co-operative work with the U. S. Bureau of Mines are located at Moscow; the main agricultural ex- tension office is at Boise, and the agricultural sub-stations and demonstration farms at Caldwell, Sandpoint, Moscow, and Aberdeen.
