Text from Pages 1 - 212 of the 1905 volume:

To the REV. WHORTEN A. KLINE, A. M., B. D., Professor of the Latin Language and Literature and Professor in charge of the Greek Language and Literature, Tire Class of J905 Takes, pleasure in dedicating this Volume. 7W? Preface TRADITION and precedent play a large part in the history of every institution. It is difficult for a class, as well as an individual, to step aside from the beaten path of its predecessors and to map out new lines with the hope that those who come after will follow them. Vet as the college grows, as its field of activity widens, as its inner life develops, so must those instruments by which that development is fostered grow with it. Believing this and seeing Ursinus rapidly earning recognition in new and higher intellectual centers, assuming a commanding position in athletics, and developing a broader and better inner life, the Class of 1905 felt that the duty devolved upon them to break the precedents established by former staffs and to put forth their efforts toward the production of a larger Ruby, which we trust will more fully represent the progress of our beloved Alma Mater. Undoubtedly we will receive the censure that ever falls upon the innovator, but we would ask the reader to remember that in breaking from the past we have had to set up our own standard and have not had the mistakes of others to guide us to perfection. With these words we submit the 1905 Ruby for your judgment. Rev Whorten A. Kline, A. M., B. D REV. WHORTEN a. KUNE, a. I.. B. I)., Professor of the Latin Language and Literature and Professor in charge of the Greek Language and Literature, was born April 24th. 1864, on a farm on the banks of the Susquehanna River, in York County, Pennsylvania, near the town of Wrights-ville. When a child his parents removed to Adams County and settled near Hanover, where his father engaged in farming and the subject of our sketch entered upon his apprenticeship as an agriculturist. Professor Kline, however, was not destined to become an husbandman, for early in life he took a great liking to books and after passing through the public schools he became a teacher and taught five consecutive terms in the schools of the county and in the district in which his parents resided. During the spring terms of 1883 and 1884, lie was a student in the Millersville State Normal School. For several years thereafter he was engaged in business. Hut his old passion for books and study getting the mastery of him, he left a successful business and entered Edge Hill Institute, Littlestown, Pa., where lie prepared for college under the efficient instruction of the Rev. Prof. Walter E. Krebs, D. D. In the fall of 1890 lie became a sophomore at Ursinus College and three years later was graduated from the Classical Course as Valedictorian of his class. Immediately following his graduation Professor Kline was unanimously elected Instructor in Latin and Greek in Greensburg Seminary, Greensburg, Pa., which position was declined in order that lie might accept an instructorship in Latin in his Alma Mater. In connection with his teaching Latin in the College, he at the same time began the study of theology in Ursinus Theological Seminary, from which he received the degree of Bachelor of Divinity in 1896. During the same year he received his Master of Arts degree from the College for work done in Course. In May, 1896, Professor Kline was licensed to preach the Gospel and was at once elected assistant pastor to the Rev. 1-'. S. Lindaman, of the Christ Church Charge, Littlestown, Pa., which position lie still holds, rendering acceptable and efficient service to the church during the vacations and recesses of College. I11 addition to his instructorship in Latin, he was elected in 1896 Instructor in the English Bible in the College. s After receiving his Master’s degree from his Alma Mater, Professor Kline entered the graduate department of the University of Pennsylvania and spent four years in the Classical department, working principally under the direction and instruction of Alfred Gtideman, Ph. D., now of Cornell University. Having had charge of the Latin department since 1896 as Instructor in Latin, Professor Kline, upon the retirement of Dr. Weinberger, Professor of the Greek Language and Literature, was in the spring of 1903 elected by the Board of Directors Professor of the Latin Language and Literature and Professor in charge of the Greek Language and Literature. Professor Kline's work, however, is not confined alone to the class-room. He is frequently called upon to fill pulpits and to speak on special occasions in the church and from the platform. Taking an active interest in the various college organizations and a personal interest in the welfare of each student, Professor Kline has made himself a universal favorite around the College. The Christian World shows the esteem in which he is held when it says, “His knowledge of the Latin Language and Literature is complete. He is a hard worker and spares no effort in ministering to the individual needs of students in his departments ” 9 TT ' ..v ? Kuar EDITOR ASSISTANTS ■ T sy A .

Gettel. 22 XLX.TJXTT }’.' • t S A SENIOR HISTORY is almost an epitaph; it is both a chronicle and a benediction. It is an account of the fourth act in a drama, whose fifth is long and uncertain, and in which even the actors wait for the curtain to rise with expectant hope and anxiety. The short, happy years of college life pass rapidly away, and only at the end do we realize how great an influence has shaped our lives; how vastly our ideals and aims have changed. Our mental horizon, gradually enlarged as we climb the hill of knowledge, seems wide when compared with our narrow outlook, standing tip-toe in the valley, and yet our present point of view only shows clearer the heights beyond. To consider that the end of college life is but the beginning of real effort is the purpose of the Class of 1904. As a class our history has been uneventful ; gradual development without violent crises affords little historical material. Small in number, our class has taken active part in all forms of college life ; we have borne extra burdens because there were so few of us to labor. Seldom has a class been so scattered. The Coeds, like Gaul, divided into three parts ; the proctors policing the unruly “ preps the Reverend at “ Sclnvenksville,” and the remainder, including “Brownie,’1 sojourning in the East Wing. For this reason our history is more the record of inner changes in our individual attitude toward life and knowledge, than an account of that intangible, yet real essence, “ class spirit.” Yet, our class possesses a unity—unity of purpose to do something, to be something ; a determination to realize our motto and to be a credit to our Alma Mater and to ourselves. We have come to the parting of the ways. As we look back we realize how trivial have been our past troubles when compared with the problems of life which confront 11s, and we resolve to meet new duties with renewed effort, knowing that, We fall to rise, are battled to tight better, sleep to wake. Historian. SENIOR CLASS POEM, A little band We put our hand To write our name, but not in sand. And by the love Of 190.J, We ever shall be proved to stand. Vet once again I take my pen In hand to write a little, when Mv thoughts go back Along the track Of college days not spent in vain. We've wandered o’er The beaten shore Of knowledge, where the waves of yore Have their pearls cast Which we at last Have found, to keep forevermore. When dark the sky. With courage high Wc shouted out our battle-cry, And side by side, What e’er betide We forward march to do or die. How soon we'll glide Upon the tide Of life's great ocean far and wide ; Rut evermore Shall 1904 Within our memories abide. 24 The Seniors. Go where glory waits thee, —Moore.

THE Class of 1905 is a distinctive unit in college life. It has asserted its individuality. Ursinus has recognized its originality and many have been the efforts to suppress the unique contrivances of its active minds. The most distinctive feature of the class is its uniformity of belief, of doctrine, and of the observance of the ancient and sacred college rites. The members of this class stand or fall together. They “live not unto themselves” but toil for the honor of the college as well. Many of their fellow students have felt the beneficent effects of theii unrelenting activities and to 1905 isowing a debt of gratitude for the number of worthy and vigilant Ursinus students. The Class of 1905 does not narrow its field of activity to scholarship alone. It scorns to leave behind it but a single monument of greatness. This class is foremost in Athletics ; and in all phases of college life it is well represented. In that ancient institution known as the “ Dog House” is developed to a most unusual degree that indefinable something known as class spirit. Within the sacred precincts of the “ Dog House,” the men of 1905 have organized a unique musical club, known as the “Dog House Chorus.” The only means of outlet for the surplus energies of this club is the fire escape. The memory of this class can never grow dim ; its members will never grow old. For three years they have breathed college atmosphere and it has in no wise detracted from their youthfulness and vigor. The Class of 1905 will remain a particular unit in the history atid traditions of Ursinus for it has earned the right to superiority and individuality. Historian. 1905 CLASS POEM. NOT very many years ago, 'Twas when this wondrous century dawned, I;rom far and near, as breezes blow The leaves from parent tree so fond, There came to old L'rsinus’ halls A little band who did contrive To paint their name upon the walls It was the Class of 1905. And oft the drowsy ear of night I las wakened to their jocund song ; And oft the moon and stars so bright In wonder heard the sound prolong ; And often when the morning cast Its l eains into obscure retreats, It found that fairy hands had passed ; And history itself repeats. They've plodded far in wisdom's way, But not from books their knowledge came. Their questions prove more than they say, The Profs, of course are not to blame). With philosophic men they walk, At humor too they will connive ; Both wise and funny is their talk. The noble Class of 1905. With brain and brawn they well supply The energy for strenuous life ; On foot-ball field, in logic high, They lead the van whatever the strife. Their fair Co-eds, with loyal hearts, Arc brave, come either weal or woe ; They stand united and their parts Are played right well as all shall know. Not very many years shall pass I'ntil the final parting day ; These halls shall know no more tile class Whose annals show its famous sway. But oft may old l'rsinus hear From lives whose strength shall long survive. These sons and daughters shall be dear, Who were the Class of 1905. 31 Dessa Cornelia Ebbert. Take her up tenderly. Lift her with care, Fashioned so slenderly, Young and so fair. —Hood. Dessa Cornelia hails from the land of (Johnny) Milton, which accounts, no doubt, for her poetical proclivities—for she takes to versifying very much as the writer takes to girls. She entered Ursinus from Milton High School, and after spending two arduous years in literary and human research (the latter in vain) took a half year's rest amid the wilds of the romantic Northumberland. While there, she writes to a friend as follows : ‘ My life is an example of the strenuous one (?), I am house-keeper (wonder what kind), a supply teacher in the Milton Public Schools, make pastoral calls with father—oh fudge—, teach a class of frisky youngsters in Sunday-School—her delight—, sing solos before the “Old Maids” Missionary Society, and study French, German, and History.” Such a life must be burdensome indeed, yet Dessa managed to return in January to take the mid-year “ Exams,” assume a dignified and honorable position with her classmates, work diligently for the SchafT Society, and assist the Editor of the ’05 Ruby—a task she willingly and gladly undertakes. Her favorite subject is History, in which she invariably “pulls” excellent marks. When not studying, she is either batting her big chum over the head with pillows, scrutinizing carefully—lovingly—the innumerable photos which decorate even the ceiling of her room, or assisting the Librarian in the publication of her long expected poem, “ Love’s Labor’s Lost.” When this is completed, Dessa says she is going to travel to take on weight. One wouldn’t think it necessary to sec her at the table. She can even beat the biographer. Nothing delights “ Papa’s darling so much as to have the opportunity to tell about her ,yreitnbicfjaft. Beginning with Papa and Mamma, then all the other Ebberts, she traces her lineage to the first-born, Adam and Eve. There she stops, but only because she must. Reader beware. Thus ends the history of Dessa Cornelia, How stately, how staunch, how grand. The great inamorata of the great I Am. Bertiia Evelyn Shier. •‘Condemn tlic fault, but not the actor. '—Shakespeare. The young lady whose modest face appears above is known to the fellows as Bertha Evelyn Shipe. Among the Co-eds she answers to the name—‘1 Sliipey.” She was born at Sunbury, Pa., while a mere child. Her early preparatory education for college was obtained at Sunbury High School, where she graduated with honors. Her purpose in coming to T'rsimis was twofold: First, to obtain a liberal education ; Second, to win a liberal husband. In her class she stands among the “ top-Hoteliers ’’ Throughout her college course she has always cherished a good college spirit. Her work in the Zwinglian Literary Society deserves mention. In athletics she has never failed to show encouraging interest. Her ideals have always been above those of her fellow classmates. She admits that her “ ideal ” is higher than a Junior, and prefers to associate with men that are her superiors. To have that wish gratified she can not choose from the Junior folk, as they all realize their inferiority. She is well spoken of as a “ regular. Her efforts along this line have met with marked success. She has now in her possession the scalp and heart of a worthy brave. The Sophomore year was a continuation of blissful love and affection for her ideal. Although she can love a man to distraction, yet we do not believe that she would cease to reason. Again, she is one of those women who knows how to disguise her emotions far better than the most consummate courtiers can do. Her great aptitude for the principles of Logic and Psychology here undoubtedly apply themselves unconsciously. She also possesses that quiescence of nature which helps to disguise her psychological feelings and emotions. Yet it must not be inferred that she always possesses this invariable air of mildness. In fact she has at her command a haughty stare, one which can instantly turn a less conceited man into a pillar of ice. Thus endeth the reading of the sketch of Bertha E. Shipe. 33 •Mary Hblffenstein Stoner. '• It is as great to l c a woman as to be n man. ll'alt Whitman. Though the youngest member of her class, Miss Stoner has been a student of Ursinus, Academy and College, for a longer time than any of her classmates. Desiring that his children should attend his Alma Mater, her father in 1897 brought his family from Ohio to Collcgcvillc, where his cider daughter entered the Academy. Ever since, she has been a positive factor in college life, never giving a blind acquiescence to the theories set forth in text books or to the views advanced by professors and fellow-students, but always insisting on reasoning out and seeing everything for herself. If there is one thing more than another which has become a firm conviction with this fair Co-ed, one which has involved her in many heated discussions with the men of her class, it is the cause of “ Woman’s Suffrage.” At any time she will be found ready to advocate her favorite doctrine that “ women should help iriaJce the laws that govern them.” She firmly believes that ” equal suffrage for men and women ” is the only thing which can at once do justice to women and free the country of all those political ills which attend the necessarily inefficient government of mere men. Next to this cause of woman’s suffrage, that of temperance holds a warm place in Miss Stoner’s heart, and she is a particular admirer of Carrie Nation and lier hatchet. Another of her pet ideas is that physicians are an unnecessary evil, and that all people would lx much better off if they would only be content to die without medical aid. She is esjx cially opposed to vaccination, once even becoming a martyr to her principles by sacrificing a term of school rather than submit to the vaccine needle. Miss Stoner is the most athletic girl of the class. She delights in all outdoor sports, and was once a famous center on the girls’ Basket-Rail Team. In spite of this, however, she by no means despises housewifely arts, but is a good housekeeper and manager. She also takes an interest in music, plays the violin and sings in the ” Trappe Choir.” After finishing her college course. Miss Stoner will teach, preferably a kindergarten, because children’s minds are more easily impressed with those great principles and ” causes ” which all highmiuded people should hold. Mabel Pauline Wolff. ■ Wcc, modest, crimson-tipped flower, Thou'S met me in ;iii evil hour; I-'or I imiiin crush ainaug the stoure Thy slender stem ; To spare thee now is past my power, Thou Ixmnic gem. —'Hums. This once delicate plant, taken from a garden of Blue Bells, was planted in Ursinus soil about four years ago. Being carefully protected from the powerful rays of Cupid and nourished at the hands of Ursinus’ gardeners, it has waxed tall and healthy, until now it has burst forth into a strong Junior bud. The plant, though young and slender, is able to breast the storms of life, and be the days either of sunshine or rain, it ever maintains its dignity and attractiveness. It bends low to the powerful winds of criticism, but never breaks ; while in the calmness of the evening, the bud opens in all its splendor, to work out its destiny, faithfully, assiduously, joyfully. Mid night finds the Blue Bell closed. It goes to rest in the wee sma’ hours of morni..g. Day finds the florists at work in the various gardens. Now and then prizes are awarded by them for the finest flower. On one occasion a prize of $20 was thus awarded for the best production in the garden of English Literature. All eyes turned toward the dainty little Blue Bell; but sad to relate the fates decreed otherwise. The Blue Bell drooped its head in silence, and withdrew to its abode in the attic. That it is the most popular flower at the Olevian Conservatory is not meant to detract from the charming shades or high price of other specimens, for they are the rarest and choicest of nature’s ornaments. In SchafT Society Ilall, the Blue Bell is on exhibition at the usual time, and its presence seems to lend inspiration and courage to the excellent programs rendered by that society. The life of this plant has now been well developed in the field of Ursinus College, and the Junior bud is expected to blossom at the end of its course into the most highly prized Bell in that awe-inspiring vase of the Class of 1905. Such is the fate of artless maid. Sweet flow'rct of the rural shade ! By love's simplicity betrayed. And guileless trust. Till she. like thcc. all soiled, is laid I.ow i' the dust.” Robert Fleming Bum “ As idle as a painted ship. Upon a painted ocean —Coleridge. In Alburtis, Lehigh County, where “men of action” run rampant Bobbie first appeared upon the world. After subduing l:is dialect at the Kutztown State Normal School, he entered Ursinus. A few hours after his arrival he became famous because of his story of “the man who went to Allentown.” The story ran as follows: “A man went to Allentown. He went into a music store and bought a drum for two dollars, drumsticks for fifty cents, and a horn for ten cents. Then he boarded a trolley car and the conductor put him off at Eighth and Hamilton Streets. Do you see the point ? ” By repeating this tale half an hour at a time to the great delight of his hearers, he secured the enviable reputation of being a most clever and entertaining young man. But Robert is not only a social lion for he soon became known to the Faculty as an exceptional student. He could ask more questions in an hour than the rest of the class put together, his questions sometimes being of so profound a nature that they were beyond the comprehension of his professors. In Latin, especially, he displayed a wide range of knowledge, discussing with the Professor all manner of subjects from the immortality of the soul to rheumatism. In this he showed a most self-sacrificing spirit, since, without a thought for himself, he would put himself to great exertions to prevent his fellow-classmates from being called upon to recite. Thinking the oyster-man a person very deserving of help, Bobby with true nobility of nature was the main support of that man's family until the latter went into the rural mail business. Robert is the Sam Parks of the Junior Class. He is world-famous for his stump-speeches, and for his connection with the “ Executive Committee.” 11 is vacation time is spent working for the government (that is, selling stamps at his father's post office). He will no doubt be found after graduation, leading the Quay machine in Lehigh County, or weighing out sugar behind the grocer’s counter. Elliott Fkkderick . He that has love and judgment too. Secs mote than any others do . —Spenser. This austere countenanced young man is an aboriginal of Pennsylvania at Turbotville. He may be anywhere between Irish. Scotch, Norwegian and Swede, but he is of the genius Yankee. Therefore he does not always frown, but can crack a joke and laugh very loud sometimes. He spent much of his boyhood in geological researches and firmly announces the eternal theory that lime-stone is hard ; he also thinks that if it is mixed in proper proportions with coal and heated with a match it will combusticate into lime. He was professor of mental gymnastics in the Turbotville schools, and left his mark there. He believes that the physical world is the foundation of the world of mind and accordingly administered the first doses of education by the foot---rule. He claims that the best way for boys to reach the high school is. to go up the stairs. On account of his experience in that field, Frederick has great respect for school teachers—of course on limited conditions. Feeling that one of the necessaries of life is that green paper signed by a college faculty and certifying that a man knows a great deal of nothing, he wended his way to Ursinus. Here he plunged into the full tide of college strenuosities. He blows the bass drum and sings forty-second tenor in the “ Dog-House Cali-thumpian.” Athletics is his specialty, and he is able to sit in a chair for two hours with nothing but the floor under it. He can jump into the air and remain a whole night before touching the floor again, that is when he goes to bed. Frederick has worked out a wonderful philosophy on the law of love. He says that the poets must never have read Blackstone or they would know better than to write such sentimental poems He admits however that heart-breaking is a pleasant business, but thinks that any fellow ought to have sense enough to know how much pressure to use. “ There is reason in all things,” is his favorite maxim. We wish him success in his prospective field of expounding the law to wise judges and tender-hearted juries. Edward Ferdinand Kki.i.kv. “ Sweet hearted, you. whose Sight blue eyes, Arc tender over drowning Hies. — Tennyson. This “ nate little man appeared at Ursinus in the Spring of 1902, coming here through Minersvillc High School, West Chester State Normal School and Schissler’s Business College. Therefore, he was amply prepared to take an advanced course in the Ursinus Summer Session, and, by way of diversion, willing to teach book-keeping and------typewriters. To describe this man is a difficult problem. He has all the characteristics belonging to a reserved and sensitive nature. His emotions are hidden behind his cold, unruffled, misleading Irish exterior—misleading from the fact that this calm front is partly assumed and partly natural. He takes delight in deceiving people as to his true character and true thoughts, and he delights in giving wrong impressions of himself—in being misunderstood. Mr. Kelley is one of the most respected members of the Junior Class. He is the best out-fielder on the Base-Ball Team. The confidence that his associates place in him is shown by the fact that he was manager of the 1903 Foot-Ball Team and is manager-elect of the 1904 Team. He is an earnest member of the Schaff Literary Society. His pathetic appeals on the stage are wonderfully touching and “Tears, such as angels weep, burst forth ’’ both from audience and orator. In the class-room he knows how to ask questions in the most “ high flown ” language. The English professor was somewhat startled one day when Mr. Kelley asked “ What rang the death-knell of criticism ? ” When asked the difference between an essay and oration he replied that the latter was more “ high falutin than an essay. As a conversationalist, Mr. Kelley is witty and entertaining. Ostensibly, he is not a lady's man. It may be that a love affair of some years ago has had something to do with this and has made the matter of his loving again rather doubtful. Therefore, as a faithful biographer, we feel called upon to warn the fair sex, unless, they wish to do all the loving. However, the atmosphere has a great deal to do with his moods. During the college year, in the scholarly atmosphere, he frequently neglects his social obligations, but, during the summer when the social atmosphere is predominant, he does more than his share as a lady’s-mau. Henry Howard McCollum. Where shall we land ? Rail's grace I know not any place So far as this- Swung here between the blue Of sea and skv .vith you, To ask me. wfth a kies Where shall we land V'—Riley. Harry Howard McCollum, better known as “Mack,” was raised in the “bogs'' of Espy, Columbia County. Ilis preparatory course was “done ” at Bloomsburg Normal and at George School. In 1902 we hear of him at Ursinus. During his first year here we know of him as an assistant professor in the Academy, but due to his excellence in “ bullock , he has risen to assistant in economics. Besides his being great in this study, “ Mack ” is a loyal member of his class and full of college spirit to which other spirits are sometimes added. These generally show themselves, when he wins medals on the Track Team, of which he is manager, captain and team. In this he earned well merited recognition. As a member of 1903 Foot-Ball Team we must not forget him. Harry is a hard student and is known never to be idle. A great deal of his time is spent with Riley. As a singer and reciter he has achieved greatness, having a voice of great volume. He is a member of the Schaff Literary Society and takes great interest in society work. Besides all these good qualities mentioned “ Mack ” is a good-natured fellow and full of wit. He is a member of the Historical-Political Group and when he came to Ursinus he thought of follow ing law, but this year great changes have taken place and Harry is thinking very Seriously about entering the ministry, so that more than likely we may hear of him either as a Reformed or Methodist minister. Ralph Edgar Miller. Ai«l ••crtaiiiJy lie is ri gr o • fe’.ftwc.Chauctr. The biographer’s task al no time is a light one. Its difficulties are increased manifold, however, when lie has to deal with nobility. Ralph Edgar Miller was born in Lehigh County in the early 8o’s. Mike ” was always a precocious child and did much to win fame for himself in his native village of New Tripoli. While taking a course at the West Chester State Norma1 School, he became a fine penman and began his artistic career, which culminated recently in his election as artist for the 1905 Ruby. In the fall of 1900. Ralph entered Ursinus Academy and the next year became a Freshman in College. “ Mike’s” real life began at this point. With unusual rapidity he sluiTed off his Pennsylvania “Dutch” modesty and took a leap into the society of the entrancing Co-eds. For a time, it was difficult for him to decide at whose shrine to pay his homage. But soon he met a new divinity and said “ I will claim her. At once he was adopted into the family of nobles and became Baron von Miller, spending much of his time at the baronial mansion on Main Street. By no means, however, is his field of activity limited to one thing. He is a close student of Darwin and spends much time and thought in trying to deduce proofs of his great theory. As a Zwinglian Society worker our classmate ranks high and is especially noted for his power as a debater. In athletics, “Mike” has contributed no small share to the success which has been won by Ursinus. He is a hard fighter on the gridiron and is always ready to help and encourage the weaker player. Although he docs not participate so actively in base-ball, yet as manager lie has shown his ability and has helped toward the success of the 1904 team. It is as first-base man on his class team that “ Mike” is best known. There for two successive years he contributed much toward the defeat of 1905’s rivals. His whole history may be summed up in the words: faithful student, more faithful athlete, most faithful “ regular.” Clarence Garfield Place. •• Wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason. —I’rtnvrbi. In Kagleville, his native town, “ Dodger” was accounted a useful prodigy. Hence a phrenologist was called upon to decide what his career in life should be. He discovered a bump of self-conceit and also a mathematical bump. Disregarding the former, “ Dodger” was sent to 1'rsinus where he entered the Mathematical-Physical Group. Asa student there is not much to be said. Dodger ” pulls” A s in everything, Logic included, though he can not explain how he obtains them. The place where his greatest ability is displayed is the Zwinglian Literary Society. There he charms the assembled audiences by his skillfully rendered guitar solos. He once made an extemporaneous speech which because of the admirable way in which he condensed his thought in short, terse sentences is worthy of repetition. The subject given was ” My favorite occupation.” Clarence Garfield marched to the platform where lie delivered the following speech : ” In autumn my favorite occupation is foot-ball, and in winter it's study ami playing games, as some of you fellows know, (the impression being that Dodger had beaten them.) In the spring my thoughts turn to base-ball, and in summer my favorite occupation is-------work.” In physique ” Dodger” is a great big fellow with muscles of iron, which were acquired by the husking of corn. Ilis strength has stood him in good stead on the gridiron and base-ball field. It has enabled him to overcome the mighty tackles who opposed him, and to ‘‘ smash out ' a half dozen or so home runs in New York. Next to his girl there is one possession very dear to ” Dodger’s” heart. That is his college hat. Por three years, yes, even five years, ” Dodger” has sported this hat, rain or shine, and the longer lie wears it, the better he likes it. “Dodger’s” great talent is silence. He has nothing to say. But with him speech is unnecessary, his self-complacency speaks for him. John Beadle Prick. • C.ikI ! «• tliankcd, the mmiic.sI of His creatures. Boasts two-soul sides, one to face the world with. One to show a woman when he loves her. —Browning. Surrounded by the bleak hills, the majestic coal breakers, and the gently sloping culm dumps, in the clean little coal-town (they are all clean) of St. Clair, Schuylkill County, Pa., in the year of our Lord, 1883, was born John Beadle Price. John claims his ancestors were Welsh, but from the fairness of his face and the whiteness of his hair one must surely come to the conclusion that his great, great “ grand-pap ” must surely have been an Albino. It is an actual fact that some of the old ladies of Collegeville make “ Whitev night caps to keep him from soiling his hair in foot-ball games. John’s early education was secured in the Public Schools of St Clair, he went as high as crap-shooting. When he landed in Ursinus Academy. John spoke a mongrel tongue of Welsh, Irish, Hun, Polish and Knglish. As you will suspect he had a hard time making his wants known in a Pennsylvania “ Dutch” Institution, lie learned very rapidly, however, and in the year 1901 entered Ursinus College as a regular. “ Whitev” has taken an active part in Athletics. He was captain of the 1903 Base-Ball Team and has been elected captain of the 1904 Foot-Ball Team. He is a good base-ball catcher and a ” white headed fiend” at foot-ball. In an athletic way, he has done much for his college and never “ hides his light under a bushel.” On the social side of college life John has been very backward. He seems to like all the girls and no one above another. If he has any preference lie keeps it shady. Not all of his activities were taken up in Foot-Ball and Base-Ball. John has reached high places along other lines. He is on the Weekly Staff, assistant manager of the Ruby, an ex-president of his Class, also of his Society, manager of the Minstrel Show, agent for the North American Pill Co., and a regular. John’s first ambition is to get married, and secondly he wants to be a Journalist on one of the Royersford papers. If he can't do that he thinks he can get a position with the Royersford Water Works. Taking all in all, John is a good fellow, a good athlete, a good student, and a better lover. We wish him all the success possible. Linden Howell Rick. •' I enjoy myself very well in company, 1 am very'well content when 1 am alone. — Paul Searron. April the nth dawned. Nothing remarkable about that. But who can say what a day will bring forth. This day brought to the halls of Ursinus an embryonic philosopher, Linden Howell Rice by name, otherwise known as “ Brother Watkins,” or ” Astorbilt.” Having received his preparatory education at Bloomfield Academy, Perry County, he gave cursory glances at ITsiuus Academy during April, May. and June, and became quite satisfied that it was a proper place. September found him a meditative Freshman. In fact, he is a meditative man with ponderous meditative views. No problem is too deep for him. He can always give definite explanations for any unusual flights that any older philosopher may have taken in the present age, or any preceding age. He can, indeed, prove conclusively (particularly, to himself) what is meant by metaphysics. Why, that is simple for him. True, there is some weighty material amongst his classmates, but what would they weigh without this natural born theologian. He can expound theology by the yard. Indeed, the very smoke that issues in symmetrical rings from his meerschaum pipe, has a theological odor. His native country, too, is full of religious zeal. In anticipation, the Ursinus School of Theology is enlarging its possessions. For well they know, “ Brother Watkins” will swell its proportions, and they must be prepared for it. From what has been said, it may be inferred that this gentleman is unpopular. But the opposite is true. No man is more so. His many-sided nature has made him a friend to all. He is always ready to join in any kind of fun, and many a starlight night his falsetto screech reverberates throughout the halls of the Dog-House into the stilly air. He is an active Schaffite, and on the platform his lungs seem inexhaustible. Although an all around student, one branch of study has been sadly neglected from his youth up, and so, at the present time, the Brother is cultivating his vocal talent under the tutelage of one of our fair Co-eds.” Charles Augustus Townsend. His eyes are songs without words.”—Bovee. “Chick” would not peruse this sketch were it compiled in ordinary language. The cogitations, therefore, of his classmate’s cerebellum ct cerebrum shall be inscribed in terms adapted to his intellect. Although “Chick” endeavors to create an impression of self-sufficiency, we are inclined to think, with all deference to his non recognized superiority, that he will be duly impressed with the observations and reflections of his contemporary. Observe, his glorious oibs of vision ! Can you wonder that he is denominated an enigma, a mystic, a visionary, a radical and a “Would be regular”? “Chick” will inform you in his characteristic, high-flown, bombastic style, that “ It is an honor to belong to the regulars.” He will generously reiterate his theories in regard to the Co-eds. Their attitude has been kind atid generous to him and they have bowed down and done him homage in his lonely grandeur ; but it is not in the physical constitution of Mr. Townsend to be anything but magnanimous, sympathetic and compassionate. Since he can not be a “ regular ” to the whole bevy of Co-eds cn masse, he has accepted the irrevocable flat of the Sophomore maid and enrolled himself her “volunteer.” An enigma? Perhaps he is to that unique individuality compounded of rational understanding and balderdash himself; but to his classmates he has developed into a parcel of common humanity. The most worthy and advantageous thing to be mentioned for Mr. Townsend is the fact that he is capable of perfect reliance and absolute confidence. “ lie can even be trusted in the dark.” This little gentleman’s personality is nothing unusual ; though his adopted idiosyncrasies may deceive some folk into thinking so. He doesn't quite measure up to his pretentions (in height) as per 1905 Ruby. If you would gain his everlasting gratitude designate him the “Pig Full B of Ursinus.” “Chick” designates dates as food for the gods. Therefore he partakes of this manna nightly. The insignificant accessories attaching to Mr. Townsend are numerous- Kditor-in-Chief of Weekly, Pitcher on Base-Ball Team, Leader of Dog House Chorus, etc.—hurled upward to these honors unwilling and involuntarily by the power of the gods through the instrumentality of Girard College and Ursinus Academy. Claude Deishek Tkexuck. Oh ! love. love. love. I.ove is like a dizziness. It win tin let a poor body. Gang about his business. —Hogg. The biographer looked at the subject of this sketch and sighed, for the subject is truly a large one. Mr. Trexler was born in a remote section of Pennsylvania, just where and when we arc unable to state, as lie- absolutely refuses to give the biographer any data. Mis age, wc judge, is an incalculable factor in the equation of his life. Four years ago two successive Rubys gave his age as seventeen, and consequently, remaining stationary for two consecutive years, it is difficult to say when he is going and when not going. The foundations of his education were laid at Keystone State Normal School and at Ursinus Academy, enabling him to enter Ursinus College with honorable mention. “Trex’ is a prime favorite around the college, as he is a hardy warrior on the Athletic Field, a brilliant student in the class room, a warm advocate of the Schaff Literary Society and a faithful member of the Historical-Political Group—[faithful in college vernacular being like love in tennis you know.] On the Foot-Ball Team he has played center and right tackle, and as a reward for his service was Captain of the 1903 Foot Ball Team. His favorite diversions are sharpening pencils and reading newspapers in the History Class. He recites well, always prefixing his remarks with a “ why—er,” showing him to be of a questioning turn of mind. “Trex “ is also Business Manager of the 1905 Ruby, and is thus having an opportunity to show off his business ability. As a member of the Schaff Society lie is a good worker, but, unfortunately, is always absent when lie takes part in debate. Mr. Trexler has recently been contemplating on the serious things of life and the most serious —“love.” While he dwells in Collcgevillc, his mind involuntarily wonders to -----. When asked the reason for his preoccupied air lie whistles, I.ittlc Annie- Is my sweet heart. Ralph Fry Wismer. A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays An l confident to-morrows ' U'ordsworth. This meek innocent-looking lad is a native of Collegeville, although for several years past he has resided in Reading. Graduating from the Reading High School with honors, he received a scholarship at Ursinus. In spite of this early appearance of scholarly ability, “ The Judge,” since he came to college, has lived on the principle that “Genius must be born and can never be taught.” Therefore his chief occupation is meandering through the pleasant alcoves of the library in order to pass the time away and to give an encouraging word to the regulars. This view of his conduct may, however, be due to a lack of insight into his real motive and it may be that this deep abstraction and slow, deliberate walk are only the outward signs of a mind busily engaged in reasoning out syllogisms or in propounding economic theories. He is the champion chess player ol the college and has made it the rule of his life to solve every chess problem published. His abilities have lead him into various fields of activity. As president of the Athletic Association, Ralph has many and arduous duties to perform in order to keep the enthusiasm and spirit of the students up to concert pitch. ” Wissie” is also a zealous Sell a tfite and has done much to add to the success of several programs by means of his deep bass voice. A social lion, he is always present at the different social functions and is always ready to participate in the lun and to help entertain the “ Co-eds.” Always he on time, is his maxim and his adherence to this principle is best illustrated by the fact that, when he was invited to one of the fashionable teas at Olevian, lie made his preparations and proceeded to the convent just one week early. But there is still one line to mention, along which Ralph shows special development, that is, in his liking for good things. There is a rumor that he became so used to saying “bread, please,” that when he went one day to the Reading Terminal to purchase a ticket the agent was much perplexed by hearing this unusual demand. It is hard to say what work our classmate will take up but it is probable that he will become a lawyer and a married man. Former Classmates Jessie Lucina Smith. When 1905 entered college in the fall of 1901, it boasted five Coeds. Among these none was more highly esteemed than Miss Smith. It was the ill fortune of the class, however, to lose this “fair member” before the Freshman year was ended. Long hours of study finally affected her eyes and she was compelled to give up her college course. Daniel J. Ci.ingkr, Jr. “ Diniuiy ” was one of those jolly characters that can never be put “out of tune” with his surroundings. Entering Ursinus from the Milton High School, he soon became a factor in the social and educational life of the college. At the end of his Sophomore year, however, “ Zeta ” transferred the field of his activities to Cornell University. JosRi’ii Ervin McConnell. For two years, the light of “ Ikey’s” countenance shone like a star on the horizon of Ursinus College and then sank into oblivion. A diligent student he managed to ride near the van of his class. Ernest J. Newmiller. “ Newey ” came late and stayed but a short time with the Class of 1905. A star athlete and a good companion he soon became a regular, but left college in February, 1903, and is now employed in Philadelphia. John Pai l Stoner. Independence is written in every line of his countenance. Having no faith in “ exams” he refused to be burdened with them. He left college in the spring of 1904 and is at present “killing time” in Collegeville. Ernest Castner Wentz. No one was more sully missed by classmates and especially by the “ Dog House Aggregation” than “ Hill.” For two years he forced himself to bear the strenuosities of college life, but then his health succumbed and lie was forced to take a year off in which to recuperate.

Its mission, rather, is to seek and trace out the growth of national characteristics, to point out the earliest beginnings and slow development of national movements, and to observe with cool and philosophic eye the fierce and sudden ebulitions of patriotism and reform. Therefore, though we have heroes in the class of 1906, your historian will not pause to recount their works of statesmanship and valor. When tlie Sophomore Class entered upon the second year of its college experience it entered upon the critical period of its unified existence. Previous to this time it had suffered attacks from encroaching barbarians who pressed downward from the neighboring territory of 1905, but, always, when its banner fell beneath the hand of tyranny, its colors found a quick Renaissance in the flesh and blood of loyal members. With the aid of powerful allies these barbarians invasions were checked, and learning, which had languished during this period of war and bloodshed, once more sprang up and flourished within the class of 1906. It was during this period that poetry found expression in the immortal lines of Hannon and that Schweyer. the versatile, developed all lines of art, ventriloquism and dramatic impersonation. But scarcely had the performances of these rare geniuses instilled a desire for intellectual distinction throughout the Sophomore Class when the consequent growing spirit of individualism produced the recent fierce out-break of civil war. It is not the place of a historian but of a prophet to state whither this will lead 11s. Suffice it to say, that several sessions of Parliament have broken up in a state of violent disorder, finally resulting in a complete rupture between the House of “ Ladies” and the House of “ Lords.” However, at a Diet held in Montgomery County at which some matters were presented for arbitration, before the King of Prussia, a speedy settlement of all internal trouble resulted.

THE Class of 1907 numbered twenty-six members when it entered college and represented eleven counties of Pennsylvania. Its conduct and ability are exceptionally good and a bright and successful future is predicted for its members. Not only is our class the largest in the history of Ursinus, but it is generally admitted that its capacity for doing intellectual work is the greatest. Boom-la, Boom-la, lix, lax, leven ! Ursinus, Ursinus, 1907 ! These were the words which rang through Bomberg-cr immediately after chapel on September 17th and which announced to Ursinus that 1907 was to be a factor in its life. The object of this challenge was to instil into the minds of the “ Sophs ’ just what and what not they were allowed to do. A class-meeting was held and a more formal challenge was sent to our friends, the enemy. They, however, declined to meet 11s in any encounter. They stooped, we conquered, although they still brooded with a jealous eye over the encroachment of the “ Freshies” but not daring to molest them. The class is a representative one and has secured positions for its members in all the active lines of College work. Two regulars and two “ subs,” and five 14 scrubs ’ are warriors of the gridiron. Musical talent abounds. The orchestra is made up entirely of Freshmen. Besides this, several of our class have cultivated their voices sufficiently to become members of the Glee Club, while one of our fair Co-eds has won distinction at the piano. In society, too, our boys have secured high rank in a small social circle. Their calls in town arc not so far between and are prolonged late into the night. When this late returning became annoying to their classmates, we kindly assisted them to move the furnishings of their rooms to the places where the other half of the small circle holds forth. For a time, our members were censured for a lack of class-spirit but our day had not come. However, when the 44 Preps” made things interesting for one of our numbers as he journeyed to Convent Olevian on Hollowe’en to pay his respects to the spirits that haunt that grim sepulchre, our wrath was kindled. Revenge was planned but we decided to wait a more favorable time, when the elements would assist us. A cold night in December came. The war-whoop was given. The instigator of the plot was siezed and a council of war was held to decide upon his fate. A shower bath it should be and a shower bath he was given with a will and 44 Pil ” came forth with his ardor much cooled. No longer would our possession of spirit be questioned. Historian. TlIK I'RIJSH MHN'. FRESHMAN POEM. With the cool winds of September. Come the sturdy Freshman crowd ; How they acted, all remember, And their spirit bold and proud. For his motto. Carpi diem, Bach one strove to do his best; On the field and in the class-room Not one lagged behind the rest. Waxed he bold in mingled strife To support Maroon and White. May success in after life Crown his efforts in that fight. To our dear old Alma Matir May each noble Freshman stand True and ready to defend her With the strength at his command. When the sounds of “ Lix, Lax. Leven ” In the halls no more are heard, May sweet mem’ries of nought seven Thrill the minds that once they stirred. The 1907 Class.

Bv Manager Hobson. THE Rase-Hall Season of 1903 was one of the most successful that Ursinus lias ever had. The schedule was the hardest that an Ursinus team ever encountered. There were twenty-four games scheduled and out of these twenty-four the team ’owered its colors to only four college teams. Of the four games lost, three were lost to such strong teams as Fordham, Manhattan and Lehigh, while the fourth was lost to our rivals Franklin and Marshall. The team was unfortunate in being the first base-ball team to be defeated by the blue and white. It was also an unlucky season in that three of our best games were cancelled on account of tain—Lehigh. Layfavette and Dickinson. In reviewing the season we wish to consider only the games played with rival colleges. The schedule included several games with professional nines, but these scores do not figure in such a review, nor are they counted when Cart. Price. we figure our standing in the college world. College base-ball, and in fact allcollege athletics, occupy a field distinctly their own, and while contests are very often scheduled with professional teams, yet the scores of such contests are not to be counted as either adding to. or subtracting from, the success of a college team. The games which showed the strength of the team to its best advantage were the games with Dickinson. Rutgers, Lehigh, and the home game with Franklin and Marshall. The strong team from Dickinson was defeated by the decisive score of 7 to 4. Two games were taken from our old rivals Rutgers, one at New Brunswick was won by the score of 24 to 9, while at Collegeville, Ursinus scored 11 runs to Rutgers o. We had the honor of meeting the Lehigh team on their own grounds for their commencement game. Here the team met defeat by the small score of 2 to 1. When we consider the record made by Lehigh we should feel proud of the excellent showing made there. Lehigh defeated most of her rival colleges last season, including the Lafayette team which had in turn defeated Princeton. In the annual home game Franklin and Marshall was met and defeated by the score of 7 to 4. The pitching staff of last season was the strongest that IJrsinus ever possessed. We may have had better individual pitchers at other seasons, but never did Ursinus possess three better pitchers than Townsend, Mabry and LaFoutaine. Townsend and Mabry did the pitching in all college games while LeFontainc took care of the professional games. Special mention must be made of the excellent pitching of Townsend who had in every game the opposing teams completely at his mercy. Mabry’s work speaks for itself when we look at the scores of the games in which he pitched. In five games the opposing teams were unable to score a single run oft his delivery. In the field the 1903 team was hard to beat, having played several games without an error. To pick out any individual men for their fielding would be doing an injustice, for the record of each individual player depends to a great extent on the support given him by the other eight men. Suffice it to say that the fielding was all that could be expected of a college nine and was equal to that of any college team met during the season. Much credit is due to Captain Price for the way he led the team. Ilis bat ing and fielding were equal to that of any other man and it was to his untiring efforts as captain that a great measure of the season’s success can be attributed. The season of 1903 reflects credit not only upon those directly connected with the team but upon the college and the alumni. F'or while it is the team that wins the games, yet the support given them by undergraduates and alumni has much to do toward making any team’s work a success or a failure. Let this sea son’s work only serve as a beginning to greater and better victories till the colors of Ursinus shall float in victory over those of all her rivals. I'. II. Hobson, Manager.

ALTHOUGH we do not have as many men among the nine as represent us on the gridiron, yet our class has been the back-bone of the team. Since 1901, when we became Freshmen, “Chick” and “Whitey” have been the star and reliable Varsity battery, and many a time “Chick's” big drop and Price’s long throw have snatched victory from defeat. In foot-ball, we have never met our rival classes, all being fearful of an encounter. In base-ball, however, they took courage and crossed bats with us. But 1905 was always victorious. 1903 Foot-Ball Team. Coach, Manager, Captain, E. E. Kki.i.ky, 'oi. E. F. Kki.i.ky, ’05. C. D. Trexi.kr, '05. SCHEDULE OF GAMES. Dale. Ursinus vs. Place. Score. 1903.

Review of the Season. By Manat.kh Kri.i.ky. LIKE many other institutions, Ursinus can not stand prosperity and the season of 1903 goes down in foot-ball history as one of her greatest failures. The clean record of the previous year stands in great contrast to the five victories and four defeats of last year. With one exception (the game with Lehigh) the schedule was practically the same and, in view of this fact, it may be interesting as well as obligatory to inquire into the causes that produced such dire results. If I were to place the cause definitely on any one thing, it would be on the team itself. Of the 1902 team, five players were found in their regular positions, Captain Trexler being changed after three years at center to an entirely new position at right tackle, while the others experienced their first year on the ’Varsity. These Capt. '1 rrxlkr. facts, showing the make-up of the team to be anything but an harmonious whole, contrasts remarkably with the team of 1902. Let us make further comparisons. Almost all the regular men of the 1902 team reported over a week before the opening of the academic year and with careful preliminary practice started the season by a sweeping victory over Muhlenberg. The high pitched spiiit and dash manifest in that game was maintained throughout the season and with what results Ursinus and many other colleges well know. In assigning the cause of success of that team, Coach Kelley in reviewing the season says : “ The boys seldom lost their ‘thinking-caps’ and to this 1 attribute in a great measure the resultant victories.” The predominant cause, however, he attributes to a “ principle by virtue of which the interest of the individual is merged in the greater interest of the institution, individual desire is stifled to make way for the honor of the college—individualism giving way to unity of action.” It is no exaggeration to say that at the beginning of last season but half the regular team reported. Some had not yet returned to college, including Captain and Manager, two very important personages in the “ get-up ” of a team, while in others a spirit of nonchalance superseded the love of Alma Mater. Is it any wonder that little hope was entertained for a successful team ? The first game of the season with Williamson School clearly demonstrated the calibre of our team, and with few exceptions the merging of the individualism of eleven men into one seemed to be a non-adherent doctrine. The vaudeville at Lebanon Valley on October 3d, resulting in a forfeiture, needs no discussion. Not until we got such a hard bump at Lehigh—41-0—did we realize what “stuff dreams are made of.’’ That was too much for the boys. A spasmodic revival of the old spirit was manifested the following week in practice. The “Old Guard’ was up and at them and Rutgers fell by the wayside under the heavy cannonading of 40-0 (retrieving our defeat at Lehigh,. This indeed was one of the exceptions and even the players are still wondering how it all happened. The trip to Gettysburg was most delightful and beneficial—except financially. The boys went into the game with renewed courage and vigor but not until the second half did they get “ warmed-up,’’ making three touch-downs in short order. With these two notable victories, Ursinus began in earnest to prepare for her first hard game—that with Haverford. What difficulty she had in snatching a victory from them the score of 12-0 well shows. The game was anything but encouraging and grave doubts were entertained of beating Swarthmore. In short, the spirit shown in that game saw the beginning of the end of this unsuccessful season. The games with Swarthmore and F. M., with both scores 27-0, were defeats hard to accept Sick we were indeed but we managed to regain sufficient strength for the final effort of the season. Once more the “ Old Guard ’’ was on its feet and its grand charge on November 21st against the army from Dickinson well illustrates the basic principle before referred to. K. F. Kki.i.kv, Manager.

THIS history of athletics at Ursinus shows a remarkable gain in prestige within the last few years. Our standard has been greatly raised. The youngest of the colleges in our own class, we have battled successfully from a position of mediocrity to that of highest athletic distinction. The climax to this development, reached in recent years, has been due largely to the energy and athletic activity of the Class of 1905. They entered college as Freshmen filled with class and college spirit and made it the end of their ambition to arouse a greater enthusiasm for, and to establish a higher precedent in, athletics. In our first year, four of our members made the 'Varsity eleven and four were found among the Reserves, hast year six were on the 'Varsity and two on the second team. Not only have they made constant appeals to the student-body for enthusiastic support but, putting theii words into actions, our men came out in strong array, bore the brunt of many a glorious struggle, that would have caused the heart of a less-valiant class to quail, and brought victory and honor to the Red, Old Gold, and Black. Yea, they did their work nobly, for, in 1902. Ursinus won the inter-collegiate foot-hall championship of the colleges of her class. Tennis Association. President.

PHYSICAL TRAINING is a subject which has been forcing itself more and more upon the attention of American people for many years, not only because of the increasing popularity of athletic sports, to which it necessarily appertains, but also because a conviction has grown up in thoughtful minds that it is an essential to correct living. The object of physical training is two-fold—health of mind and health of body—and the last must be first. Now, as in the old days of Greek glory, the development of perfect physical types should be considered more important than mental training, since mental vigor is based wholly upon physical resources. But we will consider both as well fitting halves of a balanced whole, and refer to the body as a unit consisting of these two parts. Health is dependent upon laws which govern the body; and the physical condition of the individual depends largely upon his knowledge and observance of these laws. It is therefore most important that he should know himself, that he learn the anatomy and chemistry of his own body, the curious and wonderful structure as a whole, and various organs, tissuts. and component parts severally, in their in lividual use. and in their relation to each other and to the entire mechanism of the human form. One having this knowledge of the structure and use of the body will realize the necessity for harmony of strength and will strive to develop and conserve, not dissipate, his forces. Having established health, lie is then equipped and fortified for longevity in its completesl sense, and for a useful and noble career. The body is trained by exercise of voluntary muscles in obedience to the will, and such exercise must be regulated by a thorough knowledge of the influence they are likely to exert, not only upon the muscles, but upon the internal organs and nervous system. Bodily exercise, good posture, and flexibility of muscles are all essentials of ideal health, and to obtain these it is necessary to take corrective exercise.

At home he is a part of a mighty, thriving life which manifests itself in the study or library, in the lecture-room or laboratory, in the literary and scientific societies, or fraternities, on the athletic field, or in the social and religious spheres of the college and town. He is a force which is more or less felt and recognized by his fellow-students. When he comes to Germany he plays a different role. He never forgets that between him and the “Homeland there flow not only the broad Atlantic, but also those deep and abiding streams of national and religious peculiarities. These lie was wont to study as a few cold facts stored away in some remote brain-cell and zealously guarded until the close of the semester when, no longer needed, they quietly receded to the “outer rim of consciousness” and were soon forgotten. But now history takes on a reality and speaks to him in a voice that is unmistakable, and she is most true to herself when she does thus speak. Henceforth she becomes his constant companion. Accordingly, the American student on German soil is more passive than active. His life is many-sided and he becomes susceptible to the wonderful impressions around him. He swims in an ocean of novelty and allows himself to feel the full force of every billow. He is a student in the wide sense of that term : A traveler, an observer of human nature, an admirer of art, a lover of literature; indeed he is everything that makes him receptive and responsive to the broadening influences in which he is placed. The first astounding fact which confronts the foreigner on arriving in Germany is the language, and he stands bewildered at this monstrous reality. Our love of humanism in the American college seems to be broad rather than deep. We aim to develop facilities in reading a language, whereas it was also meant to be spoken. It is a false idea of pedantry that would discourage this, and the popular depreciation of linguistic culture so often heard in America is no compliment to our dear people. The traveler who comes io the continent soon finds that these languages at least are not dead, and he wards off many an imposition if he knows something about them. But this by the way. The first aim, therefore, of the student in Germany is to grasp the language. To accomplish this, he ordinarily sails in June or July and settles down for the Summer months in some attractive little town along the Rhine, as Bonn, or Coblence, or Mayence. There is of course one danger in spending the summer in the Rhine Valley : it is the line of English and American travelers, but these “ temptations” the student must carefully evade. If he is wise, lie will also avoid the ever-present Pension and will take rooms in a family if possible, where the High-German is spoken, where they are not so fortunate as to have studied English and where there are children. For the German child is a most delightful companion ; he will entertain you for hours, take long walks with you, point out facts of interest to you, while his philosophic nature will make him ask all sorts of questions, and all the while he is giving you the best practical instruction you could wish. At first it seems a weary pursuit—this struggle with the language—and it requires perseverance combined with the intensest application. The student must make use of every opportunity in the way of conversation, lectures, public addresses, etc. At the same time he will vary the monotony by daily excursions along the Rhine. The writer had the pleasure of spending his summer at Bonn where he was enabled to explore Cologne, the Seven Mountains (from which one can sec the most charming views of the Rhine Valley), the pretty little valley of the Ahr and many other places. It is scarcely the exaggeration of an enraptured traveler to say that in summer this part of the Rhine is perfectly magnificent and that those days will surely be among the happiest recollections in the years to come. Having secured a fair grasp on the language, the student must guard it against the corrupting influences of the numerous dialects, as, for example, the Platt-Deutsch if he studies in North Germany, the Berliner Mundart in Berlin, the so-called Dialekt of Wur ten berg and Bavaria, and the Schweizer Deutsch if he goes to the German Switzerland. When the Fall comes he repairs to the university. In most cases he has already decided before lie comes to Germany at which university he will hear lectures. Foreigners as a rule flock to Berlin : but if the aim be to become immersed in German life and to be wholly cut oil from one’s “ Landleute ” and Muttersprache,” then it is doubtless better to choose a smaller university. The German university is strictly a university and corresponds in general to our post graduate courses. That common ground-laying in the arts and sciences which we receive in the American college and preparatory school, the German gets in the so-called Gymnasium. He is not called a “student,” and is often not even addressed with the simple “ Herr,” irrespective of his age, until he enters the university or active life. Hence the Studenten and the Gymnasiasten seldom mingle. Our college, however, is broader than the Gymnasium and extends over into Universitaet. Then, there is the German professor—who will describe him ? What a marvel of industry he is ! Usually endowed with superior health, he has a capability for intellectual digging that fairly rivals the refining genius of the scholastics. Balzac grasped a mighty truth ( though he mixed it with a bit of bitter prejudice) when he spoke of “the fortifications of folio, which Germany throws up round the simplest question, into which they burrow until it becomes an abyss, at the bottom of which there is nothing to be seen but one German.” Whatever we may think of his conclusions, we can not but admire the German's devotion to his profession, and we will further thank him for his frankness in letting the world know the results of his investigation. His lectures arc the labor of his study and form the basis of future publications. A greater amount of freedomjs noticed in the German university. There are two terms : The Winter Semester, from about the middle of October, or later, till the middle of March, or earlier ; and the Summer Semester, approximately from April 15th to July 15th. or later. The daily lectures are scheduled to begin and close on the hour, but the academic quarter (Ahademisches Viertel) is allowed between lectures, so that they really cover only forty-five minutes. Kach profes- sor may close his course for the various vacations when he pleases ; yet this is largely fixed by the students, who may also leave when they please, and no professor will read his lecture unless at least two or more students are present. The students arc his audience and as a matter of respect they make it a point to be in the lecture-room first, and when the professor enters they all greet him by rising, lie begins at once and when finished he immediately withdraws. It is impolite to speak to a German professor during his lecture. If he says anything which the students approve or disapprove, they may show this by shuffling the feet. The laboratory and seminar are of course not so formal. “ Examinations ” is a wail one seldom hears in Germany. The number of years required depends on what one studies, whether law, medicine, theology, etc., and whether one tries for the doctor's degree. The students go from one university to another, take their examinations in parts, where possible and desirable, but usually at the close of their university course. These examinations are official. The student-life in Germany centers in the “ Verbindungen ” (Corps, Burschcnschaft, etc.,) a sort of fraternity, not literary or scientific, but purely social. Most of the students in a given university belong to one or another of these unions, each of which has its own colors and any member can be discerned by these colors seen in his cap or in a narrow band which he wears across the breast extending from one shoulder down to the waist on the opposite side. On academic occasions their representatives appear in full knightly costume. Each fraternity has its club-house (Corpskaus or Kneipe) where the members resort, take meals, drink beer, give balls, and in fact do anything that makes for the German idea of a good time. But the distinguishing feature of this club-life and that which interests as well as disgusts the Americans, is the dueling or fencing (Se dagen, Feehten). It comes about in some such way as this: one student will in some way or another ruffle or anger another student and the matter is challenged to a Settlement by the sword They meet at the club-house at a fixed time and in the presence of their fellows and friends. With certain parts of tin body protected, especially the eyes but not the face, they cross swords in a struggle of about ten minutes. In some cases the loss of blood is almost fatal, and the deep gashes in the cheeks are carried through life. Illogical as it may seem, they are actually proud of these scars, and frequently when the wounds have been freshly bandaged they will have their photographs taken. Just what may be the real aim of this custom, whether to develop fortitude (?) or skill in the art of fencing, is not clear. If the former, their ethical philosophy needs revision ; and if the latter, they have mistaken the twentieth century for the Dark Ages. It is the most medieval thing the German student does, a plain anachronism and a revival of that pseudo-chivalry against which Cervantes aimed his magnificent caricature. It savors of the spirit of Don Quixote, who makes a warrior out of a wind-mill. Not all the clubs have this custom, but in those where it does prevail it is the duty of every member to fence. Inter collegiate games—that all-absorbing interest which forms the conditio sine'qua non of college-life in America—is a thing almost unknown in the German university. It is not to be supposed that the American student will escape the dangers of this land—intellectual and moral. We frequently hear it said in America that one goes to Germany to study and loses his faith, though this is by no means necessary. There is enough of solid truth in Christianity to commend it toany rational being and to lay the onus probandi upon him who would assert that it may not all be true. Still, the dangers are not imaginary. Much of the thinking in Germany is rationalistic and even materialistic. The positivism of the Ritschlian school, now represented by Professor Ilarnack in Berlin, with its attempt to cut the metaphysical basis from religion, has found great favor in many circles. Even more perilous are the moral temptations, especially to the student in a large city. It is well, therefore, that the student come to Germany with his eyes oj en, having fundamental convictions well established, not by caprice or prejudice, but, so far as possible, by intellectual and moral standards. On the other hand, the real benefits far outnumber the dangers. The life of the American student in Germany is a constant process of assimilation. He visits the great Galleries, as the Pinakoihek at Munich, and feels a sense of the beautiful that he never knew before. In Nuremberg he listens to the silent eloquence of the Mediaeval Ages, where Albrecht Diirer, Veit .Stoss, Peter Yischer and Adam Kraft proclaimed art in the name of religion, and where the cobbler-poet Hans Sachs wrote his humble lays. He lingers 'neatli the shadows of the Cologne Cathedral and catches the spirit of architectural genius and papal authority. He wanders among the handsome ruins of Heidelberg and thinks of Zacharias I’rsinus and Casjjer Olevianus or of that other castle in England whose walls, touched with a romantic spell by Sir Walter Scott, still speak of England’s proud Queen and the sad life of Amy Robsart. He stands before the Luther monument in Worms and remembers the famous Diet and the dawn of the Reformation. He feasts on the attractions of the Rhine and reads with childish rapture its numerous legends. He sings and dreams with Lessing, Goethe, Schiller, Heine and Riickert, and he hears Handel, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann and Wagner interpreted with superb skill. But he learns what no mere traveler ever learns, namely, the life Of the people. That rustic simplicity which Goethe has so neatly pictured in his pretty little Hermann und Dorothea is certainly typical. The study of the peasant class, particularly in .South Germany, is nothing less than fascinating. Such is the American student in Germany. Time and patriotism forbid comparisons and Home ever remains dearest to the true American. But there is no one more willing than the American student to admit that the Germans are an admirable, earnest and thrifty people, affable and kind to strangers, and justly proud of their historic inheritance. Happy is lie who can have the opportunity of studying in this land, and we who have enjoyed such a privilege, however checkered our career may be, will look back upon it as one of the brightest and most truly edifying experiences of our lives. Erlangen, in Pa vat in. B. Franklin Paist, Jr.. ’99. The Honor System in Examinations. TMIK idea seems to have prevailed for some considerable time past with a good many college students, that it was their privilege to draw all that they could out of the courses offered, but that when they were expected to ‘‘show down” what they had gathered from these courses, they resented such an examination as an unwarranted and entirely illegitimate intrusion into their private affairs. In keeping with this was the notion that it was their solemn duty to resist such intrusion by cheating whenever possible. Fortunately, a reaction against this notion has set in, in the form of the honor system in examinations. The history of this movement which can not but reflect honor upon the American college man, is somewhat difficult to ‘.race. It probably originated at the University of Virginia. The place, however, after which it is usually named, and where it has achieved its greatest success, is Princeton University. About ten years ago, after some discussion among themselves, the students at Princeton proposed to the Faculty that the men should be put upon their honor to refrain from cheating in examinations, and that the students should make themselves responsible for the preservation of the integrity of the agreement. After some considerable opposition on the part of the authorities, the sincerity of the students' intentions was believed in and the plan tried. The plan in vogue at Princeton, in brief, is this : The student in taking the examination, puts upon his paper the following pledge which he signs: ‘‘ 1 hereby pledge my honor as a gentleman that, during this examination, I have neither given nor received assistance.” In turn, the student having taken this pledge, is not watched in the slightest degree during the examination. He is at perfect liberty to leave the examination room whenever and as long as he pleases. This relieves the student of the very humiliating sense of being considered dishonest. On the other hand, it relieves the instructor of the very disagreeable duty of policing the room. This pledge, if unsupplemented, would provide no safeguard in case any student should be unprincipled enough to cheat notwithstanding the pledge. This difficulty is done away with by the fact that each man feels himself as much under obligation to report to the student committee any case of dishonest work, as he is under obligation not to give or receive assistance himself. The criticism has been made that this puts a premium upon ” peaching,” one of the most unmanly things that the college man can possibly do. This criticism, however, does not hold good since one man is not supposed to watch another; on the other hand, neither may he close his eyes to any violation. He is expected to report anything dishonest that he sees. Reporting under such conditions rests upon a keen loyalty 142 to the institution. When one man sees another cheating, lie feels that the honor of his Alma Mater is outraged and, therefore, silence is impossible. He feels that his fellow students expect it of him and that it is his bounden duty to do so. Consequently, no stigma whatever attaches to the act. If the establishment of the honor system be tried on any other basis, it will prove an utter failure, and will turn college students into self-righteous Pharisees instead of men. As far as the “machinery” necessary for the working of the system is concerned, the best understanding can be given by a consideration of the constitution of the system—a document to which the present writer has had access. Any violations of the honor system are not reported to the Faculty directly, thus eliminating any element of an attempt to curry favor with the authorities on the part of the one reporting. He informs, instead, the Honor System Committee. This committee is composed of six students, viz , the presidents of the four classes, and one extra member each from the senior and junior classes. When the junior member becomes a senior, he retains his place on the committee as the senior member. In January of each year, the president of the senior class who is also president of the committee, calls a meeting and they elect some one of the junior class to be the sixth member of the committee. This appointment must be ratified at a mass meeting of the students. When the committee is notified of a violation of the pledge, it summons the offender and gives him a trial. If lie be found guilty, he is recommended to the Faculty for immediate dismissal. It is noteworthy that at Princeton, the Faculty has always accepted the verdict as final and has always imposed the recommended penalty. It is considered highly essential to the life of the system that the Faculty should have nothing to do with the case except the actual imposition of the penalty. Any interference on its part at once kills the system beyond hope of resurrection since it shows a distrust of the honor of the students. The constitution drawn up for the guidance of the committee says : “ The committee shall make a single report to the Faculty of all cases acted upon during one series of examinations, consisting of a brief resume of the evidence taken, their decision in the case and the recommendation of the penalty to be imposed. The committee may at any time summon a mass meeting for instructions, or to support their action, or to report the name and case of any extreme offender. “The trial shall be formal and shall be conducted in the following manner with the president of the senior class as chairman and the president of the junior class as clerk : Witnesses against the accused shall l e summoned first and their testimony taken in full. The accused shall be called separately and allowed to make his statement, presenting witnesses for his defense. All witnesses and the accused may be questioned by members of the committee and a decision rendered according to the law and the evidence. •43 44 Two of the six votes shall be necessary to the conviction. No man shall he tried twice for the same offence unless new and important evidence has been secured. “ Violations of the Honor System shall consist in any attempt to receive assistance from written aids, or from any person or his paper, or in any attempt to give assistance whether the one so doing has completed his own paper or not. This rule holds within or without the examination room during the entire time that the examination is in progress: i. e.t until all papers have been handed in. 44 The penalty shall be immediate dismissal from the university. Any man not signing the pledge shall be notified by the professor to that effect. If he is unable to sign the pledge, the professor shall notify the committee. The several committees shall keep a record of all cases acted upon in their sessions, without mentioning the names of the accused ; also a record of the successive actions of mass meetings with respect to the honor system. These records together with the constitution shall be preserved by the senior member of the committee of each year for the instruction of the committee. This, in outline, is the Princeton Honor System. It has been since adopted at many colleges and with uniformly good results. One of its many advantages is that it has a distinctly moral effect, giving the men a fine sense of honor. This is illustrated by a particular case. During an examination here in the History of Philosophy, which the present writer was conducting, a senior came to him very much worried whether he had not violated the pledge. The occasion of his wor-riment had been this: He with several others had gone out under the trees to write out the examination, and in speaking about a question about the development of the Associationist school, he had said : The hardest thing about that question is the association of ideas. This could have given the others no assistance at all, yet he was afraid he had violated the pledge. The recent expulsion from Princeton of five freshmen who had bought examination papers stolen from the printing office, before they even had a chance to use them, speaks for itself. Any system of college life that inculcates such a fine sense of personal honor can not fail to be desirable. The initiative as well as all the actual work of establishing and maintaining the honor system must come from the students themselves, if the system is to work. Conditions are ripe for its establishment at Ursious and there is no reason why it should not be a success if established. If the students of Ursimis would be loyal to the Ix-st interests of the college, why not unite and establish the system. The first violator will have to be summarily dismissed, and it will be found that there will be no trouble thereafter, nothing to mar a system that can not fail to be an honor to the college and to those students who advocated its adoption.

Unintentional Moments J K fellows in college often pause a moment before getting out of bed in the V V morning, and plan so very definitely and carefully how that day is to be spent in just doing duty in work—setting our teeth and jaws hard and fast against anything or any person who comes in to change our decided course. The motive for such gritting of teeth has arisen largely because of apparent woeful neglect of duty in the past, a swamping by work, or a failure here or there in a quiz. And likewise we college fellows before going to bed pause once more and see our straight path all jagged and cut by by-ways caused by other fellows, and girls, and clubs, and prolonged committee meets, and unexpected calls, and demands, and what not. And then we fellows say that this must not be. and in our own particular way, like a spoiled girl who stamps her foot and hurts her hands by clenching them, we repeat, “ must not, must not.” But fortunately for the great and good law of accident, the thing happens next day. Well, how about all this? Retreat before him who, though worlds crash about him, will study and will keep his room door locked, and only open up after long and repeated hammering, and with glaring angry mien admit the fellow who has dared to approach his holiness during his hours of intellectual grub. Give him room, he has his place. But. welcome the man in the dormitory who keeps open house always, and yet who has, beneath his ready acceptance of all calls upon his time, a steady purpose of will to make everything count toward the development of himself and others, not merely in mind, but in heart and life. Not for the careless youth, the dissipator of time, do we plead, but for him who recognizes that there arc men’s heart about him yearning for sympathy and for sympathy now, not expressed, it may be, in so many words, but expressed in the recognition of a whim or mood in another fellow, expressed in the recognition of the fact that men at bottom, primarily and lastly, are made social. There are moments in college life when friend touches friend, and heart, heart, which stretch out into after years like strong, steel bars of support for moments of weakness. Critics may say that while I was musing with another soul, I should have been grinding ; cynics may sneer that those moments spent in study would have saved a failure in class ; but let critic and cynic prate—I am soul, my mind is my possession, and I will not be dominated by my own. And the base of this argument is this- that though mind is of the integral in us, to-day we need more heart—that the forced seclusion of us college fellows is artificial. The outside world interrupts its workers, and he who handles these interruptions with calmness and dispatch and strength hews a great place. And in college the place of this training is so favorable. When we need seclusion, let us take it at all hazards, let us give chance for Hashes from the supernatural to play upon us. but let us also give chance for the sparks of soul touching soul to give us an electric thrill, chance to get from the human views of the best, and strength for the best, of life. W. E. Hoffsommer, ’03. TO THE MORNING. THE morning dawned so calm and fair, The breeze is light and cool. As in the quiet woodland there ’Neath Nature’s magic tool, The trees and bushes now are seen In robes so blight and new : On the top of each leaf so green Hangs a trembling drop of dew. How boldly it glows in the rising sun Catching the rays so free. As it dances now at its own good fun. Then falls from the leafy tree. Oh gentle dew drop, crushed by the morning’s breath, Thou hast taught the danger of taunting Death. c 'v W S Harman, ’06. 1.46 WHY THEY CALL ON THE GIRLS.

Cut it out and dry up.” Miss WOLFF: “ Yes, I think we ought to have a contest. Just show the boys what girls can do. Miss KbbkkT : “ I can agree with Miss Wolff. We should have a Women’s Contest. The reason the boys expelled us, is because they are afraid of us. Yes, we want a contest. Miss Hobson: “We should have a contest, but we should act carefully. I think it would be wise to have an Advisory Hoard of boys.” Missies CLAwHR and Shade give their hearty assent to this speech. Miss Lutes : “ Of course, we will have a contest, but, bosh ! with your Advisory Hoard. Girls know more than boys anyway. Why how can a boy tell a girl something she docs not know?

The 1905 Banquet. True to its motto of originality, the Class of 1905 unlike other classes made no attempt to keep the date of its banquet a secret. Confident of its own superior might, it feared no Freshman onslaught but rather relished the idea of a scrimmage, believing that its enjoyment would be all the greater after a well-fought battle. Therefore everyone knew that on March 17. 1903, the Sophomores were going to take the seven o’clock trolley for Norristown. When that day came, however, the Freshman fearing their dreaded foe. who in all previous combats proved invincible, remained in quiet hiding places and the 1905’s went on their way unmolested. The banquet-hall showed unmistakable signs of the artistic ability of those who had gone ahead to prepare the way. The class colors, blue and white, were everywhere, while the class flower—the white rose—was a prominent feature of the decorations. The menus with their clever pen-sketches had been so ingeniously planned by the artists that each person found some appropriate illustration on his card. Brother McCollum’s menu bore the portrait of James Whitcomb Riley arid members Of the famous “ Dog House Drum Corps” all received card , with fitting devices. With one exception all of the party were in highest spirits. Philosopher Townsend sat in unmoved gloom, only opening his lips to express the wish that the Freshmen girls were present. Merriment waxed loud and strong, but in a lull in the mirth the artist discovered a scratch on his hand and Bertha who sat beside him was heard to exclaim sympathetically, ‘‘It’s too bad. Did I do it, Mr. Miller.” The toasts given were by no means the least enjoyable part of the proceedings. Miss Shipe in her toast on “The Class of 1905 spoke of the many distinguishing features of the class, which serve to make it unlike any other class ever seen at Ursinus Miss Stoner in speaking of The Boys ” made many home-thrusts, but all were taken in good part, since the 1905’s are always ready to take things meant for their good. “The Girls ” by “ Mack ” was an eloquent eulogy on girls in general and the 1905 Co-eds in partic u'ar. The exploits and memories of the class had been so many and varied that Messrs. Frederick and Townsend could do full justice to those subjects. As a last toast, But reminded the class that though the past had been remarkably full of things which go towards making college traditions, the end was not yet and that there remained time for many more exploits. The photographer then came in to take a picture of the crowd. He made a trial focus and then remarked, “ The young lady and gentleman at the head of table, please sit a little closer ; that is right, a little closer.” As the couple iu question complied with his request from all around came cries of “ Oh, Elliott, I didn’t think it of you ; keep your eye on them, Miss Casselberry, they need watching.” Lastly came the singing of college songs sung so vigorously that a large part of Norristown assembled beneath the windows of the hall and listened with rapt attention. Even upon reaching home the strenuous 1905’s did not cease, but taking station on the fire-escape unselfishly made the night beautiful with song for the pleasure of their fellow students. But did the Sophomores come back to find their rooms “ torn out by the Freshmen ? Not a bit of it. Though the Freshman had made an attempt to enter the Dog House ” by means of a ladder, when the voice of a 1903 student was heard, they immediately took to their heels, and next morning the Freshman Ladder was triumphantly displayed on the front of the Sophomore's abode. A DREAM. FORTY years ago and just oik- day Since I packed my trunk and went away. With sheepskin tucked under my arm, To strut around and cause alarm. Till now my memory wanders back Along that worn and beaten track, And stirs the embers in my brain And think of sometime friends again. I see a sign hung over there. Oysters, pretzels and cheese sold here. And ’heath the counter, on the floor. Lies Hobby Ruiz, with one great snore. While up in the attic on a three-legged chair Philosopher Townsend sits scratching his hair. Which always looked so debonair. But now 1 turn to cute little Reisner Who has ceased attempting to be a regular, For lie has claimed for him a wife ; His head is bald, lie’s content with life. Hut here's a fellow called Smarty Wise With monocles between his eyes, He’s a missionary at Schwenksville ; Smarty Pcnnypaeker lie's trying to kill. Over the Atlantic, on the Rhine, Sits Baron Miller on a divan Thinking of the days when he also ran A race with time and won her. But here in the paper, it says that Bertha Shipe Has married a doctor to save her life : I guess she’ll never get sick anymore With a doctor’s sign on her front door. Hut “Cum der Fiddler,” tlu- children shout Ami Nebbv Bachman marches out. With his violin tucked under his chin, Fiddling away and playing like sin : While over there some musicians stand, ’Tis Snyder leading his German band Pausing while the urchins cheer, They wet their whistles with Reading Beer. But alas ! My dream is broken By a sound upon the stair And a voice yells through the keyhole, “ Get awake and comb your hair” And as I rub my fingers through my stubborn eyes, I felt I had been wakened from a former Paradise Where mirth and joy ran rampant, devoid of any strife, In the golden joyous hey day of that dear old college life. Zwinglian Review. I WONDER. I HAVE often wondered, often wondered As I idly sit and think. Is there anyone who loves me, Anyone who cares a wink Eor my failures and successes. For a triumph or a fall, Anyone who truly guesses That I am alive at all ? I have also wondered often. With my head propped on my hands, Is there anyone that knows me. Anyone that understands, Just each mood and whim and motive, Each encounter gay or sad Or each tear or peal of laughter. Which doth grieve or make me glad ? 1 have come to this conclusion. That it’s a laborious task, For there’s no one dead or living Who can tell me what 1 ask ; No old sage or famous prophet. No blithe fairy, nvmph or elf, For the truth is just this simply, I can’t analyze myself. Schaff Gazette. 53 Chronicles Chapter XIII. When 1905 was a Sophomore. j. Now in the twenty fourth year of Ursinus I egan Spangler to reign over the college. 2. He reigned nine years in College-villc. And there was war between Sophomore and Freshman. 3. And the Sophomores set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even eighteen chosen men ; the Freshmen also set the battle in array against them with twenty men, being mighty men of valor (? . .j. And a Sophomore stood up upon the “ Dog-House steps, which are at Ursinus College, and said. Hear me, thou Freshman, and all the students : 5. Ought yc not to know that the Ford Supreme Sovereign of Ursinus gave the kingdom over Ursinus to the Sophomores for ever, even to them and their successors (the Class of 1 07) by a covenant of chapel sermons? 6. Vet the Freshmen, the sons of Can’t, the servant of ! ‘aren’t the son of Fear, are risen up, and have rebelled against their sujx-riors. 7. And there was gathered unto them vain men, the sons of Vanity, and have strengthened themselves against the Sophomores the sons of Courage, when the Sophomores were studying and could not meet them. S. And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of Spangler in the hands of the Sophomores; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with you many Juniors, whom the Freshmen take for gods. 9. Hut as for us, the Senior is our guide, and we have allied ourselves with him ; and the faculty, which ministers unto the Senior, are the sons of Wisdom and wait upon their business. 10. And, behold the Senior himself is with us for our captain, and his faculty with long sj eeches do cry alarm against you : O Freshmen, fight not against the Sophomores ; for ye shall not prosper. 11. Hut the Freshmen caused the Juniors to conic abput behind them ; so they were before the Sophomores and the Juniors were behind them. 12 And when the Sophomores looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind ; and they shouted unto the Senior, and the faculty sounded warnings to the Freshmen with long speeches. 13. Then tin- Sophomores gave a long sliout; and as the Sophomores shouted, it came to pass that they smote the Freshmen and all their allies before the Seniors. x 16. Ami the Freshmen fled before the Sophomores; and one delivered his moustache into their hands. 17. And the Sophomores ducked them with a great hose ; so there were ducked of the Freshmen five valiant men. iS. Thus the Freshmen were brought under at that time, and the Sophomores prevailed, because they relied on the traditions of the Seniors. 19. And the Sophomores pursued after the Freshmen, and made them scrub paint from the grandstand and the sides thereof, and from Olevian and the porch thereof, and from Coilegcville and the pavements thereof. 20. Neither did the Freshmen recover strength again in the days of the 1905’s ; and the Sophomores looked at them and they vanished. 21. Hut the Sophomores waxed mighty, and had many successors, twenty and three males and four females. 22. And the rest of the acts of the Sophomores, and their ways, and their sayings are wiitten in the succeeding issues of “Tub Ruby.” i54 AN APOLOGY TO H. W. LONGFELLOW. I N the County of Montgomery, 1 In the State of Pennsylvania, In a fair ami goodly valley, Near the famous Perkiomen, Stands a Co-ed institution Which is known as old Ursinus. To Alumni it is sacred, Sacred as the bond of wedlock ; This they call their Alma Mater. She who taught them to be useful, How to play and how to study, How to play upon the gridiron In the dust and heat of battle ; How to study—in the class-room, Working out hard mathematics, Pondering over things in logic Until every impulse in them. Just rebelled against the teacher. Hut, now. since it’s all over And they're out in life's hard battle, They remember all the lessons I.earned on gridiron and the class-bench. Then they thank their dear professor ; Recall every word and action ; Think most proudly and most fondly Of the college in the valley. In the County of Montgomery, In the State of Pennsylvania. To the present class of students, Restless youths and gay young maidens, Who can talk on any cjuestion That conies up for their discussion, Who can win athletic victories Or shine forth in social functions, To those now attending college, It seems like some pleasant play ground. With some sunny spots for chatting, Hut more shady ones for study. With some trees of useful knowledge Planted here and there in patches, The fruit of which when eaten Oft produces consternation In the l eing of the victim. Hut with all the sun and shadow, Tiny hills and little valleys, They are just content to be there Thinking nothing of the morrow, Or the days gone by behind them, Dreaming only of the present And the welfare of their college Which they claim as very finest. In the County of Montgomery, And the State of Pennsylvania. A. Marki. IIohson. Conundrums. Who is it Browuy would go miles to sec? Answer. Klizabcth. Whv does Alspach not go to Boston ? Answer.

INDEED such awful weather, I never 'fore did sec, It storms and snows and liailsand blows So unmercifully. Sometimes you think it’s going to rain And go prepared for such, And then it just clears off so nice That you could most swear Dutch. And then you think its going to snow, And plan to take a ride In Bowers’ sleigh with some nice girl A sitting by your side. But then instead of keepin' up. And making icc of slush. It just turns round, and rains again And makes the whole thing mush. And then as last resort from all These previous forms of talk, You just come down right sensible And plan to take a walk.

The “Dog-House” Eve of St. Bartholomew, and the Resulting Court Trial. had tlic tramp of the foreign desjjot sounded through the halls of the •• Dog-House. I.ong had the Class of 1905, lain restive under his cruel yoke. Hut at last the veterans of 1905, tin- men who had weathered the storms of Sophomore brimstone and chapel talks, who had skillfully planned and executed many daring college tricks, who had helped to light and win many a battle on gridiron and diamond, rose in defence of their students' “ natural rights. “ Shall we,” exclaimed the valiant leader. 1 say. shall we how beneath the tyrant's rule and cringe before the unbearable laws that belays down, lie says ‘I make you discipline, you crazy boys. I talk to you when your sober.’ We shall never allow such allegations to pass unchallenged. Give me liberty or give me death.” Violent applause from all present). The Dutch diplomat then jumped on a chair and roared, “ Gentlemen, onr honor is assailed. It remains for us to assert our rights, even in defiance of the despot. A council of war was held and various plans discussed. It was finally agreed that a grand charge should he made on the proctor’s authority. All were unanimous in their approval. So, as the dread hour drew near when all lights were to he out and all Juniors snug in bed, every man was at his post and ready to do or die. The 10:30 bell rang and the proctor’s door was heard to open as he started out to enforce his discipline. Hut. boom ! The very building shook as a giant cracker exploded before his very door. Then all was quiet, till lie was heard coming stealthily, but angrily, up the stairs. Then the French Marseillaise, sweet music of the oppressed, lloats out on the still night air. The room in which all have gathered is well garrisoned and barricaded. The tyrant's knock is heard at the door and above the roar of the song comes the words, Gentlemen, it is time you are in bed.” In answer to this deep and weighty proposition the 1905 yell with proctor, proctor on the end is given with vim. Then Killy, Killy, Watch, Watch was sung to the tune of Carrie Nation and a few loving remarks were addressed to the lone patrol on the outside, I see you Pappy ; go home to bed.” As a grand finale, “ Show me the way to go home, babe, was sung in German and the proctor, wearied in body and sore in mind retired to his lair to plan revenge upon his unruly proteges An ominious silence, which gave warning of the approaching storm, pervaded the entire camp the next morning. During the day the nine men connected with the disturbance pay the Dean’s office a visit and that night sealed instructions were received to the effect that the classes were getting too large and it was necessary to reduce the Juniors by nine men. This action aroused the general student body and an indignation meeting was held. Oh, that men’s hearts could be stirred like this more often ! Oratory and eloquence were as common in that meeting as sand is on the seashore. Hut after everyone bad given full proof of his ability as an orator, a committee was chosen to wait upon the President. The President readily agreed to give the offenders a trial by jury and joy once more reigned supreme, especially among the regulars. From this point, the trial will be given as recorded by the clerk of tin- court : r5K Saturday, January r6, 1904. Court convened at 9 A. M.; Judge . President of the college; Jury, The Faculty; Plaintiff, the Proctor ; Defendants, Nine Juniors; Attorney for Plaintiff, the Dean; Attorney for Defense, Unrepresented; Court Crier, the Librarian. Judge : Mr. Trexler, were you a participant in the affair the other evening?” Yes, sir, but I didn’t mean to offend this sanctum sanctorum, as my decorum wouldn’t permit such a breach of the ] eace and my papa up in Shamrock wouldn’t like it. (At this point the proceedings were suddenly interrupted by the proctor's exclaiming, “ There goes a r-r-rat”). Judge: You see my Trexler is innocent of all trangression of the college laws Mr. Kelley, have you anything to say? ’ Well I don’t know that I have much to say, but, if I may be allowed to say the little I have to say, I will say it in as little time as is jxjssible. and if it isn’t said in that time, I may ask a little more time in which to say it. If you gentlemen will only let me say it as briefly as consistent with your interests, I have only to say, what will become of me if I am disposed of in this manner? Judge : Do you have anything further to say ?” Not a word. (At this point the jurymen all shake their heads as if they would sav. I told you so; they have no arguments ) Judge : Convict Price, what have you to say !’’ Your honor. 1 am with Dodger’ in that I have nothing to say, but 1 would like to ask, how long is a piece of string? Judge: Mack, your turn, what do you want to say before sentence is passed ? Judge, this is a crucified point. To lie or not to lie, that’s the question as James Whitcomb says. To go no more to Olevian, aye there's the rub. O most just and hasty jury, put not your trust in German proctors. I was not always thus and shall I lie condemned to an injust penalty? If a man wants to have idiosyncrasies he ought to l e fire-cracker and song proof. He called us cowards and for this we must apologize.” Judge: You have shed irridescent light on the subject. The prosecution will now state its case. Proctor take the stand. Veil, I was in mine leetle room, making mine typewriter go click, click, which could not be heard more dan a league away, ven I hear dee French Marseillaise. Dis makes me mat, so I goes dee stairs up to make dose boys discipleen. I got up but I couldn't make enough disciph en, as they kept singing and howling. Then I beg them to be reasonable and remember I was horn where the Wurtzburger flows and was used to German vays and noises, but dey just keeped right on as before. Den all at onct, bang! They had shot an cannon off at mine head. So I just went mine bed to and decided to ask for one grand apology. Dat vas all. Judge. Judge : “ Very well, I think your position is perfectly clear now. Does the attorney for the plaintiff haveanything to say?” Yes, not one bit of fresh evidence has been given here to-day. But if the gentlemen will apologize to the plaintiff, the plaintiff will apologiz- to them for making them apologize to him and the jury w ill then apologize to both for their part in tin-affair. The gentlemen are given until three o'clock to settle the matter or sentence will be imposed.” (The record of the court ended at this point but the minutes of the arbitration board will be followed from here on.) The board met at 2 P. M. to-day. The proctor agreed to call quits in the affair if apologies were exchanged. This was accordingly done in writing, when the board adjourned sine die, all going forth singing Hail, hail, the gang's all here.” 59 A LOVER'S LAMENT.

The idear of this composition is to convey to the mind of the average student the phe-nomcnar of the English language. For instance, one has been taught to say “Elizabethan drama” or “ Elizabethan dri'tma , but, modern English makes it Elizabethan dramar.” Now, we will have a few remarks on this dramar. Bcgining with the religious dramar, we will take the play of “Noahr. This play is very interesting and likewise amusing Mrs. Noahr is represented as sitting on the hillside, spinning away, perfectly regardless of her surroundings and of the fact that Noahr beseeches her to enter the ark. Finally, Noahr picks up Mrs. Noahr an I compels her to enter the ark, just before the flood begins. The character of Mrs. Noahr was a great favorite at the time of these plays. Coming to the allegorical and secular element in the dramar, there are no special words with which we can impress upon the student the value of the “ r ’’ in modern English, but, behold ! in the classical influence we have Scnrcar. Scntcar, got the idear class? But, Sen-car’s influence was not of the best, for he is usually quoted in the worst plays. A famous translation called Ten Plays of Senecar ” was very popular in England. In fact, boys at school took a course in Horace and Senecar. The strange part was that the people of this time had the idear that Senecar, the philosopher, and Senecar. the dramartist were the same person. Senecar was very fond of bloody scenes and murders and the consequence is that the Elizabethans copied this and we have many revolting scenes in the Elizabethan dramar. The Italian element did not have much influence on the dramar of this period. Besides that, class, we find no special word where the importance of the modern English “ r ” may be duly impressed on your intellects. Coming to the Fre-Shakcspearean dramartists we will begin with John Lyly. Now. in one of I.ylv’s plays “ Endymion ’’ we have Leicester represented as “ Endymion ” and £)ueen Elizabeth as Cynthear. This play tried to settle the quarrel between Leicester and Elizabeth. Another of Lyly’s plays is “ G ilitiar. Next we have Robert Greene. Greene was a peculiar man. He was dissipated and fast and, yet, in his plays lie is especially pure. It excells in portrayal of noble womanhood. Take James IV, for instance. The real object of this play is to portray the character of Oueen Dorotheas Lady Idar is also a strong character. Greene also invented the dramatic dramar and broke away from old Greek tragedy. Thomas Kyd wrote two good dramars : “ Spanish Tragedy ” and “ Solyman and Persc-dar. In the “ Spanish Tragedy one is able to use r ” to greater perfection. We have in this play two principal characters, Bel-imperiar ” and Isabellar.” “ Isabellar ” is a mere shadow and “Bel-iuiperiar’’ is a disappointment. In fact, she is a sudden conversion from good to bad, which, however, was common at that time. For modern times, she transfers her affectum from Andrear to Horatior too quickly. Marlowe is one of our greatest dramartists. In truth, it has been predicted that had he lived as long as Shakespeare his dramars would have been as good. Unfortunately, he died at the age of thirty. You have the idear, I suppose. He wrote three principal plays, Tamber-lam-, “ Faust us” and “ Edward II. Now, I have searched thro’ 1 'Faust us and “ Edward II, ami only in the latter lo I find any word whereon I am aide to place our great improvement in modern English, viz , our beloved “r. This word is “Isal cllar.” Queen Isabellat. Please remember that. The only word in Marlowe’s two plays to which 1 can attach the “ r. Von have the idcar. I presume. But. now, we have come to our greatest English dramartists Shakespeare. Of course, you have the idear that no one els has excelled this poet in writing drantars. Now, I understand that you have read •‘Richard II.” “Romeo and Juliet” and “Comedy of Errors.” We need pay no attention to Richard II. for no “ r’s” are available, nor in “ Romeo and Juliet,’’ — but. behold in “Comedy of Errors” we have Kmeliar, Adrinar and Luciauar. Finally, as a word in conclusion, let me impress upon your minds to read Shakespeare. Read and read him. Why? To get the knowledge of the adaptability of the great modern improvement in English, our wonderful ” z.” Think of Desdarnonar, I’ortiar. Corneliar, Cel-iar. Mariar, Hclcnar, Oliviar, Violar, Perditar, Paulniar ! Just think of your opportunities! I wish to impress them fully on your intellects. Don't forget that ” .” You have the idcar, I presume.

A Fable ONCK upon a time in the laud of Higher Education, all the inhabitants of the town took to raising Hogs, some as a business and some as an advertising venture. The brand of Hogs most raised was known as Athletic. The principle Hog raisers were old John Harvard, Uncle Eli Vale. Bill Penn and Brother Nassau. Every year they put the I logs on exhibition at the county fair. Then all the people began to remark about the dirtiness of the Hogs and the phrase “ Dirty Athletics” became a by-word in the mouth of Hog-raisers. So they all got together and decided to put a tight fence around the mud holes. They had no trouble in keeping the Hogs clean after this, but, once in a while one of the Hogs would get through the fence and have dirt all over himself. Bill Penn's Hog was the worst one for this ; he was one of those long. slim, razorbacked Hogs and he would get in behind the pailings and get dirty. The result was that some of the Hog-raisers refused to exhibit at the same fair. There were also a lot of minor Hog-raisers in the land. Brother Swarth-more, Brother Dickinson, Brother Haverford. Brother Lehigh, Brother Franklin and Marshall went together in a Hog trust with Brother Ursinus. Brother Franklin and Marshall had a particularly dirty Hog but they kept him in the dark by shouting about the dirt on everybody’s else Hog. Once in a while they would pick off an extra large piece of dirt and then publish it in all the papers, adding a P. S., ” Oh. see how pure we are.” They kept this dirt picking up until finally when they went to the pen one day they found that the Hog was nothing but skin and bones. You see the principle element of that Hog had been dirt. Moral: Pick the dirt off your own Hog first and then make a general survey of him before you begin. Mack. i 66 A REVERIE.

A DAMS COUNTY heads the list.” says our Latin Prof., with a character i istic gesture from Bacon’s Manual. lie is an Adams County man himself and finds no delight in folk other than Adams Countians. Adams County folk and Adams County virtues are the ever absorbing themes upon which he discourses. At meat, he sits with Adams County people and finds ever an eager and appreciative audience in such renowned folk as Mr. Keasy, Mr. Myers, Mr. Smith, etc. The other poor people at the table who have had the dire misfortune to be born under an unlucky star and thus have failed to strike Adams County arc subjected to conversations of this description (at every meal and every time they happen to meet an Adams County man between meals), “ Adams heads the list,” ” Adams has no debt,” ‘‘Adams doesn’t owe a cent,” ” Adams County’s jail is empty, ” ” Adams doesn’t have a criminal,” “ Adams County pays its jail officials for doing nothing,” ” Adams has a full treasury and doesn’t know what to do with her surplus money.” ” Adams County found it had a surplus of saints, so it sent a few to Ursinus,” ” Adams is a piece of paradise on earth, if people would only see it in the light of Adams County folk,” ‘' Adams County people command large salaries. (An instance is thrown in at this point) why they offered an Adams County stenographer raise after raise to keep her in the City, but she refused. Then they offered her anything, to the extent of their business but still she refused,” “ Adams County people are independent,” ” Adams County men have a mind of their own,” ” Adams County ” ----but at this point the people at the table, excepting the Adams folk themselves, arc so overwhelmed that they have strength left only to totter from the dining-room. With blanched faces and fast beating hearts they try to realize that they have been entertained by angels unawares and that they have seen, as it were, darkly into the promised land. Rev. D. W. Ebbert, D. D AT a special meeting of the Board of Directors of IJrsinus College held in Philadelphia, April 28, the Rev. David W. Ebbert, D. D., was elected president of the College to succeed Dr. Spangler whose resignation was accepted by the Board at a meeting in March. Doctor Ebbert was horn at Everett, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, in 1853. His elementary education was received in the public and select schools of his native town. He was prepared for college at the Juniata Collegiate Institute, a well-known Academy of that day, located at Martins-burg. Pa. He was a student of law for one year under the Hon. General D. S. Elliott, of Bedfoid, then entered Ursinus College. He was graduated from college as valedictorian of his class in 1875. While in college he decided to enter the ministry. After taking the prescribed course in theology at Ursinus he was licensed to preach by Philadelphia Classis. His first call was to the pastorate of the Reformed Church at Shippeusburg. In 1881 he 77 located at Spring City as pastor of the Hast Vincent charge. While here he organized the First Reformed Church of Spring City and built a church and parsonage. Iu 1887 he accepted a call to a newly organized mission in Dayton, Ohio. The growth of this mission was phenomenal. It became self-supporting in less than a year, and is now the strong Trinity Reformed Church of that city. In 1890 he became pastor of the St. John’s Reformed Church of Milton, which lie is still serving. Every charge Dr. Ebbert served grew in numbers and in influence, and all the churches that have been under his leadership are foremost in their respective communities to-day. In 1884 I)r. Ebbert spent several months in traveling and study at historical centers abroad, visiting also in his tour, Egjpt and Palestine. The same year he was a delegate to the meeting of the Alliance of Reformed Churches at Belfast, Ireland, lie has always taken an active interest in the church at large, he was a delegate to several general synods, and has served on various boards and important committees of the general and district synods. For a number of years he edited the “Illustrative and Suggestive” department of the Reformed Sunday School lesson helps. Dr. Ebbert has always been a loyal supporter of his Alma Mater. In 1878 he was elected a member of the Board of Directors as a representative of the Alumni. With the exception of a few years, he has served on the board ever since his first election. He was honored with the degree of Doctor of Divinity by Ursinus College in 1898. He is known widely as a gentleman of scholary attainments and strong executive ability. As head of the college, he will bring to its service a logical and well-trained mind as well as a rich practical experience in dealing with men and affairs. I9°J. April. 1.

KOCH BROS., Allentown’s Leading TAILORS, CLOTHIERS, and HABERDASHERS....... OVER THE HILLS TO THE POORHOUSE. “Onceon a lime as the stories say. Went over the hills on a winter's day, A lad and lassie hlitlic asid gay. Went to the poor house, bleak and gray. Did you ever hear that story ? ” Well, if old assertions won't prevail Now you will hear a modern talc. On Sunday right after dinner our Perry County Representative donned his long overcoat and little red mitts and strutted down the avenue. Such an unheard of thing (Rice always sleeps Sunday afternoons) aroused the curiosity of the nine Incorrigibles and one of them watched the proceedings. The above mentioned Perryitc was lost sight of for some time, but, finally Heboid ! Perry comes up the street driving a forlorn looking nag attached to a more forlorn buggy. But, beneath the overshadowing roof was not gloom but sunshine. Ah ! Why ? No, no, it was not a Schaff girl, Poor Perry has tried nearly all of them and found them wanting—yes, wanting in philosophical depth—but it was—listen the fair fiddler from the ranks of the Zwingites. Well, they got to the poorhouse, some way and then they sang duets and solos and she played the fiddle and lie talked, etc., till the poor, dear gloomy-minded inmates were filled with the sunshine of this happy couple. Then Perry took up the collection, sang tile doxology, and-----came home. Well done, Perry, me boy, may the blessed work go on. All ! ye SchafT girls, ye must learn to play the fiddle.—Schaff Gazette. Townsf.xd’s Latest Poem. “ The sunny world is sighing now, La-Grippe is at the door And many folk are dying now. Who never died before.” Whii.k Myers was riding to I.atin on the Interlinear Express, one of Hannibal’s Coeducational elephants blocked the track, causing a serious wreck. Myers came into class with his head-light shattered, caboose smashed and blowing his whistle as a signal for the “long section ’’ to take the siding. After the wreck was cleared, the Elephant was tied to the tender and the run completed with a double-header. x Phoenix Cycle and Automobile House, Athletic and Sporting Goods.

Shaffer Building, 203 Bridge Street, PHOENIXVILLE, PA. A FABLE. Once upon a time, there was a certain band of uncertain students attending school. This band was known as the Sophs. Their chief virtue was their quietness. All their fellow-students might shout and cry aloud hut these uttered never a word. It was thought hv all of those in authority that this class would become unique for its behavior, and classes for years to come might he told to look upon it and learn valuable lessons of conduct. Hut, alas! one day—a Thursday—when all of the students except this once fatuous hand of “say-nothings” were very busy in their classes, this class crept stealthily into the chapel and gave a yell. It must have been a yell, so loud that i; could he heard in the adjoining hall. The yell was something like this : Gills say, Kuo ! Hoys say. Nix ! Sophs, Sophs, 1906 ! Then just to show that they were brave and really not scared, each took to his heels and ran to the library, where each sought his or her respective alcove and remained perfectly calm and motionless until the bell rang. Since that most extraordinary effort not one of these Sophs, has been able to speak above a whisper. Upon looking up the facts of the case, we find that this was the second time this yell has been given in two years. On the First occasion, they started to run before the yell was ended. By so doing the Juniors were outwitted, since they could not hear the yell. Just why they ran on the last occasion we do not know, unless it was from force of habit. Moral—if you want to startle the world begin early in the year. IRead JUrsinus Weekly.
