Text from Pages 1 - 226 of the 1906 volume:

To DEAN GEORGE LESLIE OMWAKE. A.M., B.D., Professor of the History and Philosophy of Education, in Token of Our Appreciation of his services to Ursinus College, the Class of 1906 dedicates this Volume. Ip60 Preface It is with great pleasure that we. the Class of 1906. present this volume of The Ruby to its patrons. A pleasure, in that after having burned the midnight oil for many weeks, we can lay aside our pens and say, It is finished. We have striven to attain to that standard of excellence set by former classes, and, at the same time, have tried to make this volume peculiarly our own production. We have endeavored to picture clearly the different phases of college life, that we may give you a book which will help you. in some measure at least, to live over again your dear old college days,” and that will foster a deeper interest in the present students and especially in your Alma Mater. We trust that no one will take offense because of anything that may appear to be roasting” in these pages, but that you will receive it. in the spirit in which it is given, simply as fun, from your college friends. To all persons who have in any way lent their aid in making the present volume what it is. we wish to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation. Our work is ended. We send forth the 1906 Ruby with the hope that it may fulfill the mission whereunto it is sent.” Editors. Dean George Leslie Omwake, A.M., B.D Dean Omwake was horn July 13. 1871. near Grcencastle. Pennsylvania. Brought up in a farmer's home in the heart of the picturesque Cumberland Valley, noted alike for its agriculture and its human culture, he enjoyed the superior advantages of the well-reared American farmer boy. 11 is elementary education, secured in a common school, was lengthened out by reason of short terms and ungraded courses, over a period of ten years. At sixteen, he entered the (ireencastle High School from which he was graduated in 1890. The remainder of his secondary education, the whole of which extended over a period of eight ears. broken a: intervals by three terms of teaching in the public schools, was secured at the Shippensburg State Normal School from which he was graduated itt 1893. and at the Mercersburg Academy, where he received his di ploma with the class of 1895. The necessity of providing his own means together with the deliberation incident to a tardy crystallization of life purpose, saved the young man from hasty and superficial! preparation for college. He entered I'rsinus College with advanced standing in September. 1895. and was graduated from the Classical Group in June. 1898. lie then went to Yale, where he registered as a student in the Divinity School. While primarily a student in theology, lie also attended lectures and pursued courses in philosophy and pedagogy in the graduate scho: I of the University, hi June. 1901, he received the degree of Bachelor f Divinity from Yale, and in the same year, the degree of Master of Arts in course from I'rsinus. He was awarded several prizes while in the academy and the college, and won one of the h'ogg Scholarships in the Divinity School at Yale. Commencement honors were conferred upon him at each of the five graduation exercises which mark the successive steps in his school career. In February, 1901. while yet a student at Yale. Mr. Omwake was elected by the Board of Directors to the Faculty of I rsinus College. For two years he held a iecturership in pedagogy. In June. 1903. he was elected by the Directors to the position of Dean of the College, an office honored from the time of its inception by the senior professor in the Faculty, Doctor J. Shelly W’eitilierger. who at that time retired from active service. Subsequently bis work in the college was elevated to the rank of a department and he was appointed Professor of the 1 lis-tory and Philosophy of Education. In addition to the work of his department, during ‘.he last two years. Professor Omwake lias given courses in Phychology. Ethics, and the F.nglish Bible. I11 July. 1901. lie was licensed by the Mercersburg classis of the Reformed Church to preach the gospel, but having been called at once to tile college lie has not been ordained to the ministry. Nevertheless, he is frequently called upon for sermons and religious addresses throughout the church at large. The greater part of Professor ( bn wake’s public service, however, is in the educational 8 field, his spare time being taken tip with outside engagements during the teachers' institute season in the fall and the commencement season in the spring. Dean Oimvake is a w ide-awake, up-to-date educator and it is his one aim and purpose to keep I rsinus College in the front rank of the educational institutions of the country. In the class room he inspires his students with a love for the subjects in his department by teaching them to think for themselves, but at the same time guiding and directing them along proper channels of thought. In his position as Dean. Professor Oimvake stands in close and personal relationship with every student in the college. They constantly seek his advice and are always welcomed, whether they call on him in his official capacity or simply visit him as a friend. His home is always open to the students and friends of the college and he takes pleasure in assisting them in their wrork in every possible way. Dean Oimvake has a mind peculiarly adapted to administrative work and lias proved himself a capable and efficient executive officer of the college, lie is a worthy successor of the much esteemed Doctor J. Shelly Weinberger, whose good advice, sound judgment and personal example are still felt by both students and teachers. 9 Contents RUultv and Instructor Dcpabtmekits CeMMENtEMENT Seca e ties The Weekua Y M CA Athletics Clubs Literary M ISC ELL ANE US A DYERTISEMENTS EDITO R-Itt- CHIEFS yrCdUsQ d 7 4 cuLA y' V'A ASSISTANTS TVUxrd ii , j ' 3xnx Urr aj u3 AtS .vqV-V-'v I $-esbM£,£, jm J Cj.'s.'J MANAGERS ARTISTS Ursinus College KOIJNDKI).

While to the world they’re flinging Their lives in song, without a care. That carries gladness everywhere, And from the trees their music floats Clear and loud as the clarion's call Cheering and gladdening the souls of all Flowers are scenting the heavy air With fragrance so rich and inspiring Infusing a life so gay and blithe. That every soul it is firing To force out a song to life so fair Which to crush out no soul can bear, For sweet is the pain in which ’twould writhe Until it could sing in words loud and clear, Welcome, welcome, glad time of the year.

()ur beloved Alma Mater is almost to thrust us forth upon the stormy and tempestuous sea of life. We will no more stand, as a class, united, firm; but as isolated individuals, each pursuing his own ideal. We regret the severing of these tender ties. Our associations, as students and classmates, have been pleasant, and will long be remembered after we leave these classic halls. As a c’ass. we have ever stood for the highest ideals. We have taken an active part in all phases of college life. We have been especially noted for the high general proficiency of all our members. Each one has developed, to the best of his ability, the talents given him. We have not trained the mind alone, but have put ecpial stress on the physical and social requirements of man’s nature. During our college course, our class has led in the social life at Ursinus. while all the officers of the “Regular” society have sprung from the lineage of the class of 1905. For four years our class has formed an indispensable part of college athletics. The majority of the football teams and the 1 attery of the baseball team belong to our ranks. During our Freshman year, we won the silver class baseball trophy of the college. We have always been very proficient along literary lines as well. During the entire history of the I rsinus Weekly our class has been an active, energetic element in its success. We have also contributed much to the deeper and more subtle side of college life, bv our musical ability. We have talent varying all the way from the Dog House Chorus” to the more dignified College Glee Club. Hilt, as a class, we have made our influence more keenh felt by carrying ut strictly our motto of originality. During cur Fresluuan year we were so precocious as to hold the faculty in constant trepidation. In fact we were so active, that all signs of energy, whether good or bad. were at once attributed to the 1905 5 27 After our obstreperousness as Freshmen, we were speedily ushered into the more dignified stale of “Sophomorisiii. True to our motto of originality, we established a precedent for future classes, as to the uplifting and inspiring effect of submitting one's self unrcsistedly and stoicall; to a higher authority, the U v of the I.and. Our names will go down into history, as great and noble examples i men who were willing to sacrifice individual rights for the good of society. Yes. even after the present generation has passed away and is no more, our names will be recorded on the city registry of Trappe as good and honorable, citizens of our country. I hit now that the follies and foibles of our self-satisfied Sophomore days arc past, we enter upon our first real work. New fields of vision are opened to us. and we, for the first time, realize the immensity of the intellectual life. As Sophomores we felt that we knew everything necessary to be known. YVe now see the limitations of pur mental horizon. 'File road leading to the Elvsian field of knowledge grows wider and wider before us. By means of Logic and Econ •mic theory, our minds are broadened until we arrive at the last year of our college course. W'c are at once ushered into the depth and subtlety of Philosophy. Through Ethics we mount higher and higher, until in Metaphysical theory, we soon soar among the clouds. The lower classmen maintain that we have suddenh taken dignity to ourselves. But. Oh! ye lower classmen, how basely yc misjudge your superiors. But wait until ye have attained unto the Senior year, and ye will realize that dignity conies not by effort, but as the natural expression of a life spent in the contemplation of lofty ideals. But while we, as Seniors, are in many respects superhuman, we will have one human quality. YVe are still vulnerable in one point—our class pride. As mortals we fully appreciate the homage shown us by the lower classmen. The open-mouthed admiration of the Freshmen; the half-hidden worshipfulness of the Sophomores, and the grudgingly given praise of the Juniors, have all been recognized and accepted as a suitable offering to the shrine of the class of 1905. Fong 111a} she live in unity of motive and oneness of purpose. May she still pursue an ideal unit} long after her real relations have been sieve red. YVe have had a great influence in the past as active moving factors at I rsinus. May our influence still go on. and as citizens of the world, mat each perform his task as willingly and as ably as he has while in college. When we, as a class, have been separated, may we still be one in the strength of character, the uprightness of principle, and in the pursuit of high ideals, inculcated into our very beings by our Alma Mater dear. 28 Historian'.

It has become, if not a science at least a pseudo science. The historian therefore feels himself wholly unfittd for such a stunenduous task as presents itself when he endeavors to put into formal language the history of the class of 1906. History is a record of cpoch-mak ng events; accordingly the introduction of our c’ass into the college atmosphere of I’rsinus marks a great stage of development in the life of each individual member and. may it he said, in the life of that college itself. One bright day three years ago the class of 1906. then strong in numbers, entered for the first time the kindly walls of Ursinus. It had the distinction of having enrolled the largest number of Co-eds ( those blessed damozels ) in the history of the institution up to the time of its entrance. It was certainly a heterogeneous mass of matter—probably one should sav of verdant matter. But psychology teaches us that the power to show the effect of past experiences is the most persuasive proof of the presence of mind. We learned at this, the begin- 34 ning of our college- course, by clear experiences, and we have been governed by them, with the result that now instead of a hetrogeneous mass, we are an homogeneous one. The next stage of our growth was from verdancy and blushing freshness to wise Sophomorism. But we were not long in finding out how misleading this adjective really is. Accord’ng to Socrates [please consult for further knowledge, note-books on Learned Discourses on Philosophy as Delivered by the Representative from Way Down East '] a sense of one’s ignorance is the beginning of wisdom. We were not very far advanced in our college course before we came to a full realization of the truth of this statement. We recognized also the right of others to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and accordingly left unmolested the class of 1907. It is to he regretted, however, that this year marked a great decrease in our ur.inKr, but we can truly say with the writer of epitaphs that they are “gone hut not forgotten.” How time does fly! 1 would that we might stop the wheels of this great perpetual motion machine—time, and lock back over the path which we as a class have trod. If we could, we would see that many things should have been done differently and many opportunities grasped which were a’lowed to slip. But our efforts to further the interests of our college have not altogether been in vain. 1906 headed the list in its attempt to obtain funds for the Field House. Our class lias been represented in every phase of college sports. Further than this, we have not been entirely in social darkness, as we note among our numbers many social lights of a strong candle power. Several of the boys have centres of attraction” at Olcvian Hall, and of late at the Alms House. Indeed there are many freaks in our midst. ()ne member lias invented a new method of rapid transportation, which excels even the Xcw York Subway and which is guaranteed to get him from the Dorm to Boston in 3 m mites and 15 and 2-3 seconds: there are two dreamy bushy-haired poets in the circle: one lad is a fiend on pitching ball: another is equally da ft on football: the girls are all specialists mi (ireek. Latin. French or Bugs : one of the sterner sex shuffles tin- cards industriously; another grinds, while a fe’low-classmate reads the Bible every day. This is scarcely h story, but it is 1906. This our Junior year has not been devoid of great events, chief among which is the fact that everyone passed the mid-year exams. The Freshmen entertained 1906 royally: President Ivbbert gave us a set-out : teas have been given in our honor; we gave our annual class yell. In fact, this has been one of the best years, and past events speak well for the future. Truly, the history of 191 1 may be adequately summed up in its motto Facta Xon I’crba.” 35 I IlSTOKIAX. 1906 Class Poerri- p O.M It AI KS, let us join together !✓ In a song both loud and free.

Although most of them indulge their fancies alung liteiary lines and seek thus to attain the highest development of their ex. now and again we find an exception. Miss Behney's hobby is bugs. Th.s doubtless needs some explanation. Back in prep.lom Mary fell in love with I'rsinus and then it was. too. that a big. good-natured boy was attracted by her dark eyes and driven from one place to another till he finally landed out in the wild and woolv west. There in his little log cabin he awaits her. But Mary has decided not to marry. In her Sophomore year, she changed from the Historical (Iroup to the Biological. In the latter she has had Moore inclination and Moore assistance. But i 1 the Jnn'or year, she grew a tritle M-------r and wished to return to her history Object ons came in from every quarter and so she has transferred her affections at muse to the hugs themselves: and in her aspiratk ns to some day become a Darwin or an Agassiz, she is committing a grave error. She is alwavs busy; too much work to attend entertainments and lectures: too many experiments in chemistry to go to Society. Thus she is missing much of the digression and p’easure of jolly Junior days. She is looking forward, however, to great tilings in Senior year and anticipates becrni'ng professor of Biology. Miss Bcliney is a native of Myerstown: a loyal daughter of Zwingli'oi and a staunch upholder of the liglil b’uc and black. Although her favorite amusements are dancing and haas-im-pfeffer. she does not indulge her inclinations to the utmost. Every Sunday finds her in church, three t ines a day. and in regard to school work, she is supremely conscientious.

At one time, we see this your.g fellow in the perfect air and manner of a courtier. and at another time, his very business-like gait bespeaks a man of affairs.” The only time Charlie” is moody and meditates deeply is after a squelch bv one of the Co-eds.” But Charlie” is quite a favorite ( ?) with the girls. Mis efforts in their behalf have always been untiring. Many are the trips be has taken to the Fxpress Office in order that lie might convey the package of some fair one to its destination for a smile and a thank you. Mr. Dotterer's favorite song is “The Dimple and the Smile. which he never tires of singing. Again, some of Mr. D.’s stock expressions are: By the Sain Mill. l’mch me to see if I'm awake. and 1 guess I'm squelched.” A dai’v diversion for Charlie is to take a trot through the Library seeking whom he may disturb. This polished young man is quite accomplished on the piano. Ilis light, gentle touch; his Paderewskian movements have won for him a name. lie is recognized by all as a great favorite with the Librarian and the professors whom iie frequently serenades. ()ne of Mr. Dotterer’s habits is to enter the class-room late, in seemingly great haste and enthusiasm, with an air of assumed importance and self-sufficiency; take a cursory survey of his pigmy brothers and sisters; rub the palms of his hands briskly together ; then assume an air of marvelous complacency and take his seat. The biographer is sincere in saying that this “born courtier possesses unusual argumentative and oratorical ability, lie certainly proved himself master of the situation in the Annual Schaff Prize Debate of 1904. where he carried off First Prize. Taking all in all. Charlie is a good student; a better bluffer;” a chronic “knocker”; an orator and a gentleman. 38 David Reiser Farikger. “TIiIj which now wi-niK frlvolonw iiik) wliuhi will |tmv� of m r1ouH conM“ jn4� nco.’ — Roscommon. Old Sol and the Dean. too. winked when this wiry bunch of muscles landed at Crsinus—and they had cause to wink. Rein, since the time when he wore kilts, has had the reputation of being an obstreperous lad, although he first cried on a farm on the hanks of the quiet Perkiomcn and has ever since breathed the rather sleepy atmosphere of Collcgevillc. He was first inoculated with the germ of knowledge in the Collegeville Public Schools and entered Ursinus Academy in 1899. where he smiled benignly on the lady instructors and provoked the Principal many times to say “sly, devilish sly, this one” until the autumn of 1902 when he was initiated into the mystcres of college life. “Rein” is the best all-'round athlete in the Junior Class. His work as half-back on the ‘Varsity Foot-Ball Team has won for him the well-merited title of captain of the 190s team. He is captain of the first Baseball Team and has the reputation of making either a home-run or a strike out. Trouble slides oil this lad like April rain off a duck’s back, which fact perhaps accounts for bis ability to 'augli the world in the face. Even in his favorite haunt, the laboratory, amid the gore and carnage, he cuts up the creeping, crawling critters” with a grim smile on his face or in the intervals between the Doc’s calls he guides a slimy lizard in the direction of a nervous lair one. But Rein” is not all fun. He works hard in the interests of the .winglian Society, of his Group — the Chemical Biological, and lately in the cause of the Alcove Association. All the efforts of the Anti-Slang Society have been of no avail, for “Rein insists on using his pennies for other things and coins a new slang expression each day. His latest is Just a little, not so very much, but I hope I’ll get cnctT.” What it means is beyond the ken of the biographer. But this much can be gleaned from the scattered chaff and wheat, that after this boy has proved that he docs not belong to the genus A pa and has buried two or three mistakes six feet under ground, he will put up pills and powders for suffering humanity. 39 Beverly Augustus Foltz. Hoiwst labor brnra a tmn !xoin ; fac-. This genial good fellow is a product of the soil, and first opened his eyes to the world on the shores of the Little Antietam creek near Waynesboro. Just when this event took p’ace is a mystery, but it must have been mans yeais ago. His childhood days were spent on the farm and in roaming over the beautiful Cumberland Valley, although during leisure hours he sometimes patronized the neighboring district school. After he had learned all that the country school-marms could teach him. he took a three years’ course in the Waynesboro High School. Later he entered Mercersburg Academy, from which institution he was graduated in the Spring of 1902. Beverly Augustus entered I rsinus College the following Fall, making his advent among its classic and historic environs, late one evening—an utter stranger—but not for long. N’o one could resist his pleasant smile and his kindly ways, and his friends were soon numbered by the score. Although accustomed to horseback from his ch ldhoocl days, his sterling honesty f rbids him from riding through his examinations. For the last two years he has played centre on the 'Varsity Football Team, and his work on the gridiron has always shown lots of pluck and spirit. During his Freshman year he he’d the office of class President, and is at present Assistant Baseball Manager. Beverly is the Beau Brummel of the 1906's and consequently a prominent figure at all social functions. He has had several love affairs; but they have been of minor importance, and lie has come out unscathed. Methinks there is another brewing between this “Adonis of Terrace Farm, and a fair maid of Convent Olevian.” He is a member of the Historical-Political Group and also of the Schaff Society. His aim is to study law, or to make the most out of life that a poor fellow can. 40 Winfield Schroder Harman. he wem'il yet all nwale, Aua In hln ear nU tx-atliuc heart ll l make. ' Harman is known at I’rsinus as the dreamer. It dreaming, loving, forgetting and writing poetry are a pleasant combination in one man. Hannan certainly approaches the ideal. Freni the very first day when he reached I’rsinus, from his home at Emmittsburg, Md.. his reputation has been established. Even in his Freshman days. Winfield devoted entirely too much valuable time, which should have been spent in Mathematics. Latin and Greek, in roaming through the country talking to the trees and flowers. This love of nature has never deserted h m. but lias furnished the theme for many of his best poems. Once in a great while he forgets his dreaming and poetry and dons a football suit, much to the delight of the 1906 girls. When a Sophomore, his chief office was that of arbitrator during the C ivil War in the class, but even he was overcome and had to acknowledge that those gir’s were too much for him. However, since the last echoes of the war have died away and the new year of Junior happiness and jollity has begun, no one is a more enthusiastic participant m the fun than Harman. He even took the initiative in going down the tire escape during study hour. The latest report from headquarters says that lie is slighting tlu girls as a whole and devoting all his spare time to one. It is a fact that he has gained quite a reputation for making Long calls at Olevian almost every night. Without doubt, the greatest interest of Harman’s life is in religious work. Resides being President of both the V. M. C. A. and the Christian Endeavor Society he frequently gives talks at the Alins House. He spends his summers doing missionary work in the 'umber camps. Many and weird are the tales lie tells of those almost savage lumbermen, hut we have reason to believe that bis work there is not without result. He is a staunch and faithful Schaffite. His present intention is to marry a good, conscientious girl who will accompany him to China. There they will enter into the missionary work with fervent and enthusiastic zeal. •tl Roy Vincext Hartman. It was a happy llfo I l!v w| A run ml of gits- uml Jollity.” Among t!ic gently sloping hills and densely wooded fields, just beyond me largest of Antietam's lakes, lies the beautiful villa, Stony Creek Mills. Here ii was that Roy Vincent Hartman budded, grew and sprang up into the bloom of young manhood. After spending a few years in attending a number of schools including “Brunner's” of Reading, and Keystone State Xormal. Hartman came to I rsinus. During his first year, he became a conscientious ( ?) student of the classical department, and a member of the .winglian Literary Society. His work on the 1902 “Scrubs” merited a regular position on the ‘Varsity Lleven for the past two seasons. It was at the Freshman Banquet that his propensity for “Soph evasion” showed itself. So subtle, so cunning was be. that in spite of outlying spies. Hartman appeared at the appointed time, even with his dress-suit in a bundle under his arm. As all Berks coimtians. so is Mr. Hartman. A year of college life developed a rollicking, jovial fellow, with wit and humor of an extraordinary quality. Such a tremendous sensation has been created bv his famous collection of Stories of the Dutch in Dialect. that he even appeared before such assemblies as the Mite Society of Eagleville. and the Ladies Aid of Trappe. One of Hartman’s greatest “stunts is fooling the professors. He early acquired the habit of looking wise. which accounts for his reputation of never being known 10 flunk. Upon entering the Junior Class. Mr. Hartman reasoned that since lie had acquired a fair knowledge of taxidermy, he would begin the study of Biology. It is the unanimous opinion of his classmates, however, that these cannot be quoted as his chief reasons: for his propensity for the fair sex. an ever aFraetive feature in Biology-class, especially on the field-trips, seemed to overwhelm all inducements offered by the other laboratory courses. In Spite of Mr. Hartman's great efficiency in Biological research, he declares that he will continue a deeper study of the subject only when unoccupied with his humorous lectures, and pastoral duties. 12 Anna Mabel Hobson. Oraa' n« In .ill h« r hMvnn In In vwry (ctuturo oiKnlty and loro. —Siiakbui'Kark. The fair subject of this sketch, one of Ursinus' popular Co-eds. was born in Collegeville, Pennsy'vania. Her childhood days were spent in sight of Ur-sinus Academy and College and when she reached a proper age and advancement, she was enrolled as a student in the Academy. After several years’ attendance, for some reason she was no longer contented to remain in Collegevillc, but decided to turn her steps toward some other institution. In the fall of 1901, Mabe.” as she is known among her classmates, entered the Freshman Class at Wilson College. There she soon won the love and esteem of the Wilson girls who, after Miss Hobson returned to Ursinus to join the class of 1906, characterized her as, u maiden most demure and sweet” Since her return to Collegevillc. we have sufficient evidence to believe that the opposite sex has acquiesced with the Wilson girls. While at Wilson Mabe” belonged to the Tennis, Boating and Pedestrian Clubs. This, together with the fact that she played basket ball at Ursinus, gives proof of her enjoyment of athletic sports. The writer is unable to say why this 1906 Co-ed remained at Wilson only one year, but is of the opinion that she could not remain away from her mother any longer. Of course this is sufficient reason for her return to Ursinus. During her Freshman year she proved herself such a strong magnet that almost at first sight the heart of our 1906 boy from Lebanon was drawn to her. He continued to pay close attention to this Co-ed until the fall of 1903 when a young lad of the 1907 class by some means, we hope fair ones, presented her his butt in card and put our Junior in the shade where he still remains broken-hearted. Miss Hobson is very determined, as all Juniors will remember from the class scraps in the Spring of 1904. She is a loyal member of The Schaff Literary Society and belongs to the Modern Language Group. After reading all the French and German Doctor Grimm sees fit to give her. Miss Hobson hopes to N])Cnd some time in Germany to make a thorough study of the German language. The writer can predict nothing but a bright future for her. Miles Abdel Keasev.

Miles Abdel, to whom also is affixed the appellation Standish In those who love him, is a subject almost beyond the comprehension of his classmates.

Miles has retracted this idle speech of an idle moment (of M. A. K.'s. 1904-1905 diary). Miles Standish Keasev’s record is enviable. He attended the public schools of Adams county, was graduated with honors from Cumberland Valle State Normal, and at Perkiomcn Seminary was awarded the Crsinus Scholarship. Since he entered Crsinus he has shown active interest in his studies and consequently ranks high in his class. 1 le is also an enthusiastic athlete, an ardent member of the Xwinglian Society, has assisted in the Physical Laboratory, is the efficient Business Manager of the Weekly, and Kditor-in-Chicf of The 1906 Ruby—la.t. hut not least, he has felt the Divine Passion. 44 Mary Ellen Long.

In her early youth she served as assistant to her mother in domestic science, finding time now and then to attend the Manheim High School, from which she was graduated with high honor. After two years experience as teacher in the public schools, she came to the conclusion that woman could become as great and greater than man, so she came to Ursinus to compete with and overthrow the power and position of the rising generation of men. She is a puzzling I eing. and though one would not suspect it, she loves to tease the hoys with her misleading questions, and touching ta’es. She invariably sends the male sex after their business, who recovering from their chagrin return to Mathematical formulae and logic, vowing that females are a nuisance. But. taking all in all, Mary is well liked, a faithful student deserving great credit in her study of the Classics. As a member of the Zwinglian Literary Society, she is one of its foremost workers. Art and music having been developed to a great extent, she boasts o‘f the fact that her German ancestors were poets, artists and musicians. When her merry years of development and cu’ture are spent at old Ursinus she intends to take up the noble profession of teaching. In this avocation we all wish her success, and hope that she may find some one—some noble, intelligent young man, who will lessen her years as a school mami, to make her what should be the aim of every true college girl, a noble wife. 45 Roy Emory M bry. • For ought that I roilM •■tit n n«l.

This city” is not on the map. probably on account of its size, or because the majority of the inhabitants follow one trade. Never theless, Roy Emory declares that it is a very remarkable and important place, and that the population is made up mainly of staunch Democrats. 11 is preparation for College began in the public schools of Mertztown, was continued at the Keystone State Normal School, and later at the I rsinus Academy. At the Normal School he was noted for being the only gentleman who used brains in thr nving “lobster-cans.” At I rsinus he has gained quite a reputation as a baseball pitcher. Every spring he is a prominent feature on the diamond and everybody is on the qui vive” to see his left handed curves come floating over the plate. The yells of “Yea-Mabry” from the grand stand wreathe his face with smiles and spur him on to greater work. Roy is very fond of riding, and his love for this sport is often seen during the summer, when he and his Wilson” are out driving. Roy is very vain as to his personal appearance and is always spruced up. His hair has a natural curl, yet he often spends from ten to fifteen minutes before bis mirror, brushing it into “pine-apple” shape. One of his favorite expressions is Singt er. Mike. What this means, he a’one knows. He is an ardent Zwinglian and a member of the Historical-Political Group. He has been in and out of love. When at home he falls in love, and when at school he falls out again. The reasons for this sudden change are well-known. but must not be recorded here, for fear the four hundred of Mertztown, of which Roy is an active leader, would be scandalized. Mabry intends to read law and we can only hope he may become very able and proficient in his life work. 16 Caroline Elizabeth Paiste. To Iwmlnli unxloun IboiiKlif, and pain.

To m mind, it is made doubly difficult, when the subject is one of God’s chosen creatures—a woman. Jhtt there are numerous kinds of these.

Tot's education began in the public schools of Coliegeville, which she left ai the dawn of her High School course to enter the second year of Ursinus Academy, from which she was graduated, (winning the Freshman Admission Prize) in 1902. Site has already demonstrated her ability along scholarly lines, having been made an associate editor of the Weekly. 'Vice-President of the Classical Group and having taken part of the Sophomore English Prize in 1904. Judging from the above we might he led 10 believe that Tot is a litera v recluse. Not so. She is one of the most active participants in college life. She may he seen at a most every social function, she has taken an active part in Ath ittics. and in the Schaff Literary Society, she is one of the reliables.” in dis] ositi( n she is rather quick and hastv and does not seem to possess the entire list of emotions which arc usually found in her sex. Her life work will probably be teaching Latin and English in a large Woman’s College. 47 d Martin Walker Smith. ■' I haw followed Cuidir.H .lack-o'-lanfm. —Siikkihan. As rumor has it. this rcund-faced lad first blinked his blue eyes in the little village of Fredericksburg, Pa., near a ridge of the Blue Mountains. It was here in the shadow of tnc old mountains that his insatiable fondness for study developed, with the aid of such vehicles as the public school and Schuylkill Seminary. When he had absorbed at! ( ?) the knowledge which the small town jKjssessed, he persuaded his parents that the place was too small for him and they accordingly removed to the City of Lebanon. Here new opportunities presented themselves, and after Martin was graduated from the Lebanon ILgh School, he was appointed Deputy Prothonotary of Lebanon County, which position he filled until he entered Crsinus in the fall of 1902. Here he soon became very much attached to one of the 1906 Co-eds of Collegeville. and premised to he a lion in the social affairs of the college. Although his lionizing was but transient, and almost spoiled Martin in his Freshman year, still he pegged away at his lessons—never, however, losing flesh by too close study. Indeed it has been whispered that the buttons of his coat must lx set out half an inch on each visit home. All aspects seem to appeal to him except athletics. He enjoys all social functions: he thinks dancing one of the line arts—in fact would dance in church if the organist would strike up a ji likes good things to eat. especially sauer kraut and wine sauce. He has the reputation of knowing every date in the lives of the kings of F.ngland and can sing off at will the names of the wives of Henry 111 and their genealogical trees back to Adam. If you ever choke on a date (seed), it is well to know that he grinds in nook A. alcove I. But his pegging has not all been in vain, for lie won half the Sophomore English Prize, and was elected to a position on the Weekly staff. He is a working member of the Schaff Literary Society, and belongs to the Historical-Political Group. As his natural bent seems to be towards History and dancing he will probably some day either hold a professorship in some college or establish a dancing school at L’rsinus for the benefit of the coming generation. 48 David Ramson Wise.

During Davy’s three years at I'rsinus be has accomplished many great and noble deeds. lie is the only fellow who is in with all the Co-eds. and in fact he spends much of his spare time in the convent. ( ?) Besides this, he is the only fellow who ever skinned Bobby But , on the gridiron. In music Davy has won much praise and fame: lie is a pianist and vocalist of great renown. His baritone solos are often the feature of local entertainments as well as of the Zwinglian Society, of which he is an active member. In society he is an ardent worker and never shirks duty when put on the program. Besides being a member of the Classical Group, be is extremely interested in Chemistry.

This contest resulted in an easy victory for us. and our exultation over the victory, in this, our only contest. excited superstitious fears in the minds of the upper-class-men. They began to fear that the class of 1907 would exercise a commanding influence in the college world long before its Junior year. A pow-wow was held in one of our wigwams and as a result of the incarnations of the medicine men. we agreed to hold our braves in check until our Junior Advisers became Senior Councilors. September came around and in the same month twenty-three of the old defenders of the Maroon and White returned. In addition, three sturdv recruits applied for admission to our class. These, after serving a probationary period in our service, were initiated into the mysteries of our strange work and became full fledged Sophomores. The first ma ter that seemed to demand our attention, was the presence of mote than a sc re of the greatest urchins that ever darkened the portals of a coliege chapel. 'Phis was shown the first morning when they attempted to give a veil in that sacred hall. Before the first rah was in the air they found themselves outside the door, slightly separated. Seeing that unless these mistaken creatures were given a thorough course of discipline, they would work ruin to themselves and to all the inmates of the institution, the Sophomores had a feu-helpful rules posted about the college so that those who did not run might read. Prom the time the rules were posted, until the Sophomore reception the Freshies proved more or less refractory, but through the agency of fetters. cold baths, the paddle and the “descending elevator they arc becoming well trained students, and if they do not relapse into the primitive state, they will grow into sturdy 53 Sophomores. These things are not said boastingly hut to show that our class is full of the spirit of helpfulness. In athletics we boast of no one star, but of many good promising athletes. Two of our most valiant men were members of the Varsity Foot-ball team and the Second team was almost synonomous with the Sophomore Team. We have representatives of no mean ability on the Base-ball Team, likewise a few men who can play tennis. In all branches of college work our class has taken an active part. Wc seize all opportunities for work which will prepare us for responsibilities that will soon devolve upon us as Upper Class Men. Our days of probation are almost over and the period in which our real history is to be made is just beginning. 11 istoria x. 54 1907 Cl.ash I’ini KK.

Xo predecessor can boast of spirit or deeds morecharacteristic of Freshmen. From that memorable morning when the yell for N ineteen Eight resounded through the halls, calling to battle that innumerable class of Sophs, the true Freshman spirit has not abated. When, on September 16th we assembled in the English Room for the organization of this plucky class., we found we numbered some twenty-four members, among whom, we are proud to say, are eight of the fair sex. 1 he jolly, good nature of cur class is represented by the Reading trio— Snitz. “Bushel” and Haiti. Corresponding to these is our pretty laughing trio—Esther. Girlie and Elizabeth. Diligence and application are represented in Wolff, Danehowcr and Haninie, while the more lazily inclined are Paiste, Bryner and Bordner. Our tricky, scheming boys are Tobias, Stoner and Stainy. and the girls Lillie, Lida and Lottie. The qjuiet. unassuming quality is represented by Mitchell, Hughes. Rhodes and Leidy. while Edina stands alone representing our affection for our upper classmen. The most memorable events of our Freshman year, excluding our play with the Sophomores, were the honorable exit of two of cur girls—Esther and Elizabeth fr m a certain Algebra class and of Miss Lida from English. But girls will be girls and Freshmen, Freshmen. The most serious accidents of the year befell Main and Mitchell. The one suffered from a broken collar bone and the other an injured hand: but they arc again up and doing with the best of us. Our chief delight of the year has been our class meetings, and surely no more spirited, astounding speeches than those we made and beard ever reverberated 60 through these classic halls. Among the best on the stump were Snitz. our president, Bordner and Kdnia. frequently aided by the sound judgment of Tobias and the ideas of our” Esther. But one subject there was which could not be decided. We could choose no motto until the mid-year, for none could be found lofty enough for our high ideals. ()n the field of athletics our Freshman boys are recognized among the pluckiest and best. Every one acquainted with the ball games of I’rsinus is familiar with the names of Suit ..” Paiste. Beggs and Haiti—of whom we arc well proud. Little our boys surely are and yet truly migh.y. for in all senses we boast not of quantity, but quality. What would a lies liman history be without a record of its victories? From the first, our boys can record naught but triumph over the Sophs. We will pass the instantaneous disappearance of their posters; we will skip lightly over our victories in the two prominent class rushes; we only smile over the evening Lottie. Lil'ic and Edma fooled them into expectation of a banquet bv sauntering idly to the baker-shop, arousing, for once, the Soph. Vigilance Committee and all to wait and watch, through the long hours, the doings of the Freshmen. We grant the truest sympathy for Rhea’s cold, which she caught when out with Fry. tramping wearily through the snow, suspecting Freshman doings;” we recognize the honor paid Leidy, a worthy guest of the Sophomore's Olcvian party and heave a sigh for Reisner’s unaccountable lateness. But how we will laugh and ever enjoy the Freshman banquet. Every move on that memorable evening, showed, oh. so plainly, the quickness, the pluck, the scheming of the Freshmen, and reflected so deeply on the slow, never guessing, ever sleepy class of poky Sophs. We will always remember that, while Lida, the sister, enjoyed herself royally in the banqueting hall Ralph slept peacefully, lazily, and woke to find the truth glaring in his face with the rising morning sun. Xor will we ever forget the submissiveness of those Sophomores upon our return, and the meekness that has ever since prevailed among them. This has been our Freshman past. It has known naught but victory, and we step with firm, loyal, trusting tread into the future, closing our past with the triumphant shout of— Xipra. Xipra. Xipra. Xate! Tripla. Tripla. Trcxie, Trate! I’rsinus, L'rsinus, iyo8! •il Historian. 0 hark! now rings a lusty yell Through old Ursinus halls, A yell that ne'er before was heard To swell those classic walls. And with this yell was horn that day A stury Freshman class, Resolved within those halls to stay And not the threshold pass. iou know the rest as well as I; Those eight withstood the score; No Freshman there was forced to fly Nor put outside the door. The Freshmen lead in brawn and brain. And in society The .Muses nine supremely reign, And so the graces three.

Fill up your glass—drink to the class— The class of nineteen-eight; Let mem'ries iill the days that pass, Fond hopes our future fate. When Time shall take our youth away. And take our pleasures too. Remembrance of our class shall stay And half our joys renew. So fill the bowl—think not of gloom. Our days of joy shall last. For hopes shall brighten days to come. And mem'ries gild the past.

II. techier, I). I)., lute Pro-f ssor of Church History in the I'rsinus School of Theology, was born at Hanover, Pa.. September 10,1850. His father, the Rev. Jacob Sechler. was an honored minister of the Reformed Church. He prepared for College -t the l.ittlestown Classical Academy and was graduated from Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, in 187 ‘. After engaging in teaching for three years, he studied theology at Cr-sinus College, serving with I r. Henry T. Spangler as joint Principal of Ursinus Academy, during his theological course, and was licensed to preach in 1875. lie served as pastor of Roe Inn’s Reformed Church. Blue Bell, fourteen years; as pastor of the First Reformed Church, Philadelphia. nine years; and as Professor of Church History in the I'rsinus School of I he-ology, ten years Dr. Seclifer was twice married, and is survived by a widow and four children. He died suddenly at his home in Philadelphia, of angina pectoris. Wednesday. April 12, 1JH15. A master mind, with tools always on edge: a keen eye that penetrated sham and deceit: an intrepid spirit, that traversed a subject without fear or favor, made Dr. Seel tier’s presence as refreshing as the environs of a trout stream, his logic and argument irresistible, and his instruction exhilarating and informing. His devotion to truth and duty made him a slave to his own clear vision and abounding love. Day and night without ceasing, lie pursued the claims laid upon him by his sense of service, spending himself and being spent in labor for Gou and man, for home and friends, church and school. In the service of the church Dr. Sechler was a conspicuous, able, and influential leader. His foresight, knowledge of facts, attention to detail and effective argument fashioned many of the threads which have run through the legislation of the church for a quarter of a century. His sermons were vigorous and edifying, giving the people strong meat in sound doctrine. 11 is intercourse with the people was lree and friendly, the influence of liis life among them being wholesome and manly. As a member of the Board of Directors of DrSinus College and of the Faculty of the School of Theology, Dr. Sechler exerted a far-reaching influence in the development of the institution. He appreciated the significance of I'rsinus as a product of the historical life of the Reformed Church and was devoted to its welfare on the highest principle. He gave his labor without stint and suffered persecution without complaint for the cause I'rsinus represents. He was neither a camp-follower nor a time-server, but a consistent, loyal and uncompromising friend and supporter of the institution. His natural talent for teaching carried him into the school-room immediately after graduation, during his theological course; for a time while pastor: and during the la-t ten years of his life in this service he proved that he was a born teacher; and the fruit of his labor will appear in the disciplined faithfulness of the men whom he helped to prepare for the ministry.

When the shades of evening gather, Ursinus students hie To the soft, green swarded campus— For a time our books laid by— And the parting rills of sunlight. As they linger soft and long. Shed a hallowed gleam of gladness On our merriment and song. Now the glees of old Ursinus Peal across the downy green; From Memorial to Olevian Span the distance far between: And the walls of dear old Frepdom The reverberations ding From the East Wing to the Dog House, As our voices loudly ring. Then across the Perkiomen The chlmings wing their flight, Till beyond the far-flung hill tops They kiss heaven's dome m light. Then as if they rued their boldness. Come in trembling echo hack. And thus end the winged praises Of the red. old gold and black. Tune: Michael Hoy. Come stand together with loyal hearts And help the hoys along. And while they struggle upon the field. We'll raise a cheering song. We’ll lay old----------in the dust As easy as can he; We buck the center and run the ends, So one: two! three: Hurrah!! Hurray!! We’ll raise a thundering cheer, II urrah! Our boys are winning a victory For Alma Mater dear. (Words in italics arc to be shouted.) Tune: Good-bye. Little Girl. Good-hyc. Good bye,----- good-bye. Don’t cry.----------, don’t cry. We’re bound a victory to take. And a winning score we will with us take. Good bye,-----------. good-bye, Don’t cry, — , don t cry. Just observe our fierce attack, In our suits of red and black. Good-bye,-----—. good-bye. Tunc: lllue Hell. — your end Is nearing, - prepare to die. --------- your doom is coming. Shake hands and say good-by. See old Ursinus playing. Playing with all her vim: Watch how they hit the line, boys, I t sinus is going to win. Chorus: Good bye, old---------, We’re sorry for you; Don't try to beat the hoys Of the good old U. See how they're tackling. See how they rush. U R-S-I-N U-S, Ursinus. Cheer for the boys now playing. Out on the white-lined field: Cheer strong without delaying. For we must never yield. Down on the “kiCK-off” dashing. Break through defending men. All interference smashing, Bring down the runner then. To Ursinus. Tune: Die Wacht am RluHii. Come let us sing in voices clear. 01 the College which we love; Let all now join us in our cheer, And swell our praise to heaven above. Ursinus dear, thy name we praise, With tuneful threats and joyous heaits, Long, prosperous he thy days Till time departs: Long, prosperous be thy days Till time departs. And when Spring’s blossoms scent the air. Our hearts are turned in love to thee: We sing thy beauty everywhere That all may know thy life so free. Dear College, now our song receive. Which from our spirits now doth pour. May thou on us believe. As days of yore. While we will thee adore For evermore. 90 Schaff Society Organized 1870. Chartered lXNX.

Throwing out their foaming eddies, through many a sparkling beam, Casting on their frothing billows, many a shade and gleam, As they pass forever on. See the tiny wavelets.—rippling as they flow, Playing hide and seek among the shades so soft and low. Floating gently forward, wherever they may go. As they pass forever on. Now the roar grows louder as they near the distant mill. See the waves rush madly forward over dale and hill, Plunging downward o’er the cataract, and then flow gently,—still. As they pass forever on. Where are the wavelets going that pass from day to day With their rushing and their roaring, as if about to say We would gladly tell you if we only may. As they pass forever on? They are rushing ever forward to the far off distant sea. Countless tiny raindrops plunging through the lea. To prepare an ocean voyage there, for you and me, As they pass forever on. Martin- W. Smith. 1906. 103 Young Men’s Christian Association. OFFICERS.

The base-ball season of 1904 was laden with difficulties. The wintry weather, an execrable field, and the loss of valuable 03 playing material threatened to sap both the life and success of the season of 1904. Hut add to these great drawbacks, the financial difficulties incident to the successful prosecution of any col'ege athletics, and surely a darker cloud never loomed on our base-ball horizon, than appeared in March. 04. But L'rsinus is never brighter, more self-reliant and vigilant than when the storms and tempests of misfortune assail her. You can kill them but you can't defeat them,” said Xapoleon: you can assail us. until the Red and Black pennant, trembling and torn by adverse winds, seems to be trailing in the dust, but always it has 1 ecu. is. and will he. up guards and at them. It seems more likely that Brother Jones’ idal wave will overwhelm us. than that l'rsinus will ever be confronted with such a prospect as did front us in 1904. The new fie’d was everything but new. A Pekin wall of earth bordered it on the east; a succession of hills and valleys, undulated dow n to a lowest point in centre field, from which that un-f rtunate fielder had to stand on boxes to see home plate. Left field was comparatively decent; the right fielder was in constant danger of stabbing himself on corn stubble or of rolling up and down hill, in his efforts to catch the ball, always aimed by cunning opponents over right field bank. The infield was more or less rugged; particularly when a hot sun crystalized the protoplasmic mass of dirt into formidable Alpine rocks. But the most unkind cut of all w as ld Sol. who persistently shone in the players' eyes, benumbing their faculties, and blinding them. ( ' Al’TAI N TOWNSKNM), ’05. 119 In the early days of the season, a biting cold wind added blue hands and cheeks to blue spirits, so that when the graphic picture is finally presented, the wonder is that we did so well,—upsetting Dickinson on her grounds, defeating the College City of Mew York, and Rutgers, and playing Lehigh and Lebanon A. C.. close games. The field itself was not ready until late in April: infield practice was not thought of until April 25. Consequently the fielding practice suffered, and the batting practice gained. There were originally twenty games scheduled: fourteen were played. The first five games were cancelled—Albright. illiamson and the Deaf Mutes, because we had no field: Lafayette, because of bitter cold weather, and Scion I fall College cancelled of her own accord. I'rsinus won seven games and lost seven. This record is wonderful in view of the trials and disappointments that hovered over the whole season. The personnel of the team was frequently changed. Many men were given a chance opportune to the success of the whole season. Of the new applicants. Trcxler. Crunkleton and Koerper did well; Fenton and Roth also made a conscientious try. These, together with the new men in college this year, ought to make a strong team. The pitching was done bv Mabry. Townsend and Koerper. Mabry pitched most of the games and his form showed wonderful improvement over the year before. Townsend fell off from the previous year, but the game at Carlisle, when Dickinson’s laurels were clipped in her own camp, and the strong game against Lehigh, balanced his otherwise mediocre work. Paist at second. Snyder at short. Chamberlain at first.- and Faringer on third made up the infield. This was a combination which worked well, whenever the field and their injuries allowed it. Crunkleton. Koerper. Place, Roth and Fenton formed the outfield. Price, with his tradition, was behind the bat.

Tkam. The 1904 Foot-Ball Season When any great work is finished, when the glamour of the past has given place to the calm thought of the present, then only can a just estimate of the results he made. Ilu- 190.1 I-'not-ha 11 Season is a part of history. We can look hack through the months that have passed since its close and dispassionately answer the question Was it a success? I'rsinus is wont to place before herself that record which defies repetition (the season of 1902) and to judge later achievements by what was done that year. That is manifestly unfair, however. It is but seldom that a foot-hall team possesses all those characteristics so essential to success. It is only when few changes take place in the line-up of the team for several years that that harmonious whole can be developed which will sweep all obstacles before it and snatch the palm of victory from all opponents. Or the team may be well grounded in the science of the game and still be lacking in that weight which is so necessary to reinforce the science. These two weaknesses—lack of development and of weight were the predominant ones in the 1904 team. With the Class of 1903 half of the members of the famous 1902 team were graduated. Only three men of the 1903 team had to he replaced in 1904. but the loss of the former year and of tha. season had to be filled with men light in weight and of little previous experience. As a consequence, the team that represented I'rsinus on the gridiron in 1904 was not nearly so well developed nor as heavy as that of 1902. Considering these two facts the record that was made was indeed a notable one. The measure of success which was won may be ascribed to three causes. First, the men themselves were faithful, worked hard and sacrificed everything for the good of the team. They went into the game with a dash and vigor that swept their heavier opponents before them. Second, the team was fortunate in having the best scrub” to line-up against that I'rsinus has ever had. Third, under the coaching of Mr. Kelly, the men were developed to the highest degree possible in one season. The first game with Williamson was disappointing. The men had not vet been together long enough to get into form and a tie score. 6-6. was the result. Against Lafayette the team put up a noble fight. During the first half the 124 honors were about evenly divided, but in the end the superior weight oi Lafayette began to lx. felt and Ursinus was defeated by a small score. After this brilliant display great things were expected. Rutgers next fell before the charges of our team. Hope rose still higher but was soon to be dashed to the ground. For three successive years Haver ford had been forced to lower her colors to our victorious team. This year they must retrieve their standing. Every inch of ground was contested by our team but victory was not to be ours. Then came the game with the Indians. Ac no time during the season did L'r-sinus play with more pluck and spirit than in this game. Not a substitution was made in our line, although nineteen men were played against it. This one circumstance. coupled with skill and superior weight, told in the Indians' favor and enabled them to score 28 points, all except 5 being made in the second half. The game with Gettysburg was rather listless, the new field was in extremely bad condition. and neither side succeeded in crossing the goal line. The last game of the season, with Dickinson, was replete with star plays. Ursinus fought bravely, knowing that defeat must be the ultimate end. The result, Dickinson 16, Ursinus 5. was even better than we had hoped for. As a whole, the season was somewhat erratic. Every man did his best but the best that new men. light in weight can do. is not always what one desires. )n defense the team played brilliantly. The offense was fast hut not sufficiently concentrated. Hut what of the future? The graduation of the class of 1905 will cause many gaps in the ranks next year. Capt. Price. Trcxler. Ihitz. Place and McCollum have all played their last game for Ursinus. Each one’s place will be hard to fill. However, the material of which the ''scrubs was comjjosed this year was of a high grade and should easily develop into 'Varsity material by another year. With Coach Kelly again to direct the team’s work, we may look forward to a team of no low calibre. Manager Frederick, '05.

Review of the Scrubs of 1904. THE “Scrub boot-Ball team of the Season of 1904 was without doubt one of the best ’Scrub’ teams that I'rsinus students have seen. I bis may sound like a pompous boast, but we base our decision on the judgment of men who have seen the Scrub teams of former years and who know their relative strength. Beginning with such a reputation, it is truly a pleasure to write a brief review. d'he season was opened with the strong Moravian College team that defeated our ‘Scrub' team last year by the score of 35 to o. in a hard fought battle we managed to snatch a victory from the strong opponents. to the sneaking tunc of 12 to 6. This game revealed the possibility of a strong team, and afforded splendid encouragement for the coach. Tlie strong Mill School Second was the next proposition on hand. This team had the reputation of defeating our 'Scrubs’ every year save one. The determination with which the men trotted 011 the gridiron told the tale. Mill School was fairly ouplaved in every point of the game, and I'rsinus won by the score of 11 to 6. W ith these two splendid victories to our credit we proceeded to play a team which we always defeated with ease in former contests, in fact it was not considered strong enough to be in our class. The team of which 1 speak is Phoeiiix-ville High School. The result of this contest was a lamentable one. when one reflects on the circumstances involved. I’rsinus outweighed the opponents by u pound to the man, and had the advantage of experience. But it appears that the fellows possibly thought that they could win without playing hard. The result was a sore defeat. Score 10 to 11. Perkiomen Seminary, the ‘Scrubs’ old rival, was the last scheduled game. Fighting spirit ran high and with the tingle of defeat still ringing in their ears from last year, they resolved to avenge themselves. Perkiomen was taken off its heels early in the first half, and I'rsinus scored 30 points to Perkiomen's 5. These then, are the remarks offered, after cursory examination of the scheduled games. But should I stop here I should be very unfair to the team. s a matter of fact, we battled with the Varsity every night, which we considered much harder work than playing teams of our own weight. Coach Kelley admits that the success of the ’Varsity largely depends on the opposition and material .hat the ‘Scrub’ team offers, and I feel as though 1 could safely say that we succeeded in meeting these qualifications. We gave the 'Varsity hard practice and developed strong men for it. Coach Miller, ’05. TIN n-TOO.I | ftOGI L). R. Raringkr, '06.

EDUCATIONAL gymnastic training, while pro mot lug growth and use of physical powers, should select only such means to this end as harmoniously educate lawful habits of motion and ennobling reaction upon the mental and spiritual natures. Such a standard transforms gymnastic work from mere physical exercise and amusement into an art.—an art whose processes not only utilize habits of doing well all the ordinary acts of daily life, but also induce habits of strongest and subtlest expressive power, and foster growth of mind and spirit as well as of body. The best body training is that which induces mind and spirit to keep even pace with bodily culture . Such exercise must be progressive, coherent, and harmonious throughout all its adjustment, so that no step need be wasted, but that all gain shall be a valuable enrichment of general balanced growth. Instinctive, rational, or ar.istic progression in training does not lead to unusual stamping and striding, nor to useless jerking and shouting, but to the necessary activities of living, to right standing, sitting, rising, reaching, lifting, walking, breathing, talking. bending, bowing, running, jumping, dancing, climbing, swimming.—each in perfect Individual rhythm, in orderly succession, and true harmony of motion. The development of this exercise is incredibly hastened and aided by its constant practice in daily use; and all necessary activity of conduct is rapidly made appreciably more easy, more serviceable and pit asm able, by the recuperative, inspiring reaction of its harmonious execution. The next step in motion culture, besides anti beyond this very practical training, is the practice of motion whose reaction is so harmoniously and helpfully stimulating of thought and emotion, that the truest, highest, fullest use of instinct and character is being educated. In this way the sphere of instinctive action may he so enlarged as to safely and efficiently relieve the overworked brain. And the great natural force of impulse may be automatically and wisely converted iiuo action of highest efficiency, without waste of will, and with normal Increase of power of body, mind and spirit. Such natural, symmetrical development of body, instinct, conduct, and character, through culture of bodily motion and speech, is the surest foundation for artistic expression and the legitimate work ot educational gymnastics. 133 Ursinus College Orchestra.

What die Jordan is to the religious world, that the Rhine is to the secular world. We hear its praises sung, its beauty described, and its glories extolled wi li a touch of feeling, with a loving tenderness that is accorded few if am other inanimate objects of nature. Where is the man or woman with soul so unpoetic as not to bear through life a ender affectionate memory of the scenes he saw. the emotions he experienced on the bosom or the hanks of this most human of rivers? As for size, indeed, there are in this wide world of ours many streams far mightier than the Rhine, hearing on heir bosoms far more of wealth as measured by the prosy standards of the market. As for more beauty of scenry. there are streams that rise among moutita ns just as high, or wind their tortuous course along crags and c'iffs, or wooded hills and grassy plains, by hamlet, farm and forest. But none unite in one attaching maze The brilliant, fair, and soft, the glory of old days. Such vine clad hills and castled peaks, with vdlages old and quaint a-nes;!ing at their feet, all aglow in the warm or lurid light from the setting sun of a departed heroism, are nowhere else to he found. Here on either side, up above and down below, human souls both brave and true, have lived and loved in joy and pain, or fought and died in victory or defeat. 1-lverv turn in the river reveals new and charming scenery,—mcur.tainS bearing forests on their backs, or hugging castles to their bosons, castles peeping round the ridges, and castles frowning down from :heir eternal thrones above; with stair like vineyards on which the spirits of bygone ages ascend and descend to their former homes, like the angels Jacob saw at Bethel. From its source in the glaciers of Switzerland all the way to its outlet in the marshes of the Netherlands, the Rhine is fraught with human interest. Its banks on either side throb with feeling. Legends of human life in all its phases, warm and cheerful, dark and horrid, ding to the grand and countless ruins like ivy to the old castle walls. Passing along this ancient highway, is like wandering up or down the stream of history. You mingle with great ones of earth. You hear them speak. N on see them fight. You are thrilled by their bravery . or blush a their cowardice. Your Heart is warmed by their loves 01 chilled by their hates. History here becomes real to you. It rises from its grave. In mind and soul you live it here yourself. It becomes a part of you. You reproduce it. not in small and of. unmeaning fragments as seen and felt by those mighty actors on the stage but as a grand and thought-filled whole, the mighty oratorio of God. It is wafted to your soul like the sc ft no.es of far away music. 141 From time immemorial the Rhine has been a boundary between conflicting human intcrsts, and has. therefore, been the witness of many a bitter strife. The scenes so dear to ns because of their natural charms, are dearer still, because our brothers' blood speaks to us from behind these very smiles of nature. These border fights, these victories and defeats with their accompanying bravery or cowardice, with their high aims or low motives, with their selfishness satanic. or self-devotion almost divine, and back of all and over all that mighty unseen Hand which often lets the just and pure go down before the triumphal chariot of a foul and godless cause, these events in human history stir in us a deeper, stronger feeling than the merely beautiful in nature. ()n these waters also were carried in days of yore, the traffic of the world from the cultured sunny South to the barbarous frozen North. Hut then, as now. and always, the stream of commerce carried burdens other and far more precious than the contents of its bales and boxes, or even than its silver and its gold. Human love and faith divine, or human hate and godless unbelief were transported with its merchandise. Kndless is the list of legends that sprung up like rose and ivy from this blood-stained trampled soil to embower the sites where lived and .suffered and died those warlike men and virtuous women, in love so true, in faith so firm. There is scarce a house or bill, and surely not a hamlet or a castle all along the Rhine that is not warm with storied love or hot with passion. In going up or down this enchanted stream, there remains not a human interest unaroused, not a chord in all the scale of human emotion remains untouched by the magic hand of Father Rhine. Age and experience have made this river human, and being human we have a fellow feeling for it. It is this common element of humanity which the Rhine shares with us that makes it so beloved. We cannot but pity the unpoetic tourist who can plod a weary way along this brother being with a feeling of contempt for its inferiority in point of size to the Amazon and the Mississippi, or in point of scenic grandeur to the Hudson. These are magnificent streams, but they are comparatively naked of human feelings. In time these may gather round them historic associations and become humanized. I hit as yet they lack this charm. The Rhine is old and mellow, and redolent with emotional memories. The flight of time, carrying forward struggling humanity, makes history, and history alone can fill the forms of nature with human feeling and interest. By being thus associated with man in his pains and pleasures, his doings and his sufferings; material things become part of man. are as it were humanized, and speak to us of things near to our hearts. There are finer trees and grander scenes than those of our childhood, but none to us so rich in thought, so full of meaning. These have been our companions in youth. These speak to us of the joys and griefs of other days, move us with a very human feeling and draw us very close. The material world in its grandeur and even its beauty, speaks to us of power and divinity. It lifts the soul through nature up to nature’s Hod in feelings of reverence and awe. It is the Almighty, the All-Wise, that speaks to us in the blue expanse and starry heavens, in the rolling thunder and the flash of lightning. 145 m the beauty of the rainbow, the river and the landscape. We hear and think and worship, but we do not feel drawn; we have nothing: in common with a’l this majesty. In nature and in law God was long known as the Awful, the Mighty One. As God comes down into human nature and lifts it into union with Himself, clothing Himself with humanity as with a garment, taking it unto Himself as the soul (foes the body, so the senseless material world enters into union with man, forming not only bis body, but constituting a wider sphere responsive to his larger life. “For we know that the whole creation groneth and travailed) in pain together until now. and with earnest expectation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God.’ when the mountains and the hills shall break forth before man into singing; and all the trees of the field shall clap their bands.” To .his incarnation of lmmanit) into inanimate nature, the Rhine is peculiarly fitted both b its history and its construction. Historically it has for centuries been the nerve centre of human life and struggle in Europe. Its stream binds into one. the many sites of entrancing interest that would otherwise lie scattered and would otherwise fail of their cumulative effect on the mind, it has carried on its bosom the civilization of the old East and .South to the new North and West. All modern history was cradled on its bosom and carried in its arms. But the size and form of the river also lent themselves to this poetizing, humanizing of the stream. The poetic river traffic of ancient times has yielded in modern times to the soulless railroad and the inhuman ocean. No one will ever love the railroad as we love the Rhine, and however many ships may sail across the mighty deep, the ocean will never he enshrined in the heart of man for the simple reason that it is far too vast for even the imagination to embrace. It is too boundless, too vague, for human fellowship, for human love. It is too undefined to be impersonated. It has nothing in common with us weak and limited human beings. This is to a great extent true also of such monster rivers as the Amazon and the Mississippi. The Rhine is small enough to be embraced by the imagination, weak enough as a border stream to need defense, to be strenuously guarded. Hence “Die Wacht am Rhein thrills with nervous force and feeling. The river Rhine is the symbol also of man's earthly career. Like him it comes from the inaccessible, the I'nknown. It springs into existence, young, impulsive, pure. Like free manhood, its mountain born twin, it descends to broader hut lower lands, refreshing and inspiring as it goes. It struggles on through rock-bound channels as at P.asle, like a strong and free young man passing through the narrow confines of a God imposed duty. Then again it lies calm and; restful in the lake, basking in the sunlight of God’s favor like a man who rests serene in the consciousness of a hard work well done. Thence it tumbles over falls, wanders through the black and glooniv forest, or smiles with 'broad and open sunny face upon the villages it has horn and nursed for centuries, and finally, its youth and strength, and alas, also its freedom and its purity spent, it creeps slowly and weakly along until it is lifted by sheer force over the lowland banks out into the bound- 146 less ocean beyond. Its force is spent, but its work is done, and we part from it as we part from a friend whom we have loved and continue still to love. Adieu to thee again! A vain adieu! There can he no farewell to scenes like thine. The mind is colored by thy every hue And if reluctantly the eyes resign Their cherished gaze upon thee, lovely Rhine! ’Tis with the thankful glance of parting praise.” GEORGE STIBITZ. Pit.

I am writing you from the lobby.” while sitting close to a heavy, cloven-footed stove of Colonial days, as the morning is still young and very cool. It is now 6.30. Chum and 1 had breakfast at 4.45, having arisen with the men a quarter of an hour before, awakened by an alarm on a large iron triangle. Roys, that’s just when you are sleepy. Nevertheless, we tumbled off the rough-hewn lobby benches, where Chum and I had roosted for the night, and washed in North Run, flowing directly past our camp. The hour, the stove, the surroundings and my faithful hoot-owl quill, given me by a little Swede boy (litcl poika) from a neighboring camp, make me feel ancient. As the sun is now beginning to shine into camp, let us look around a bit. Tom McCready’s, Xo. 21. consists of four rough, bear shacks, situated in a deep 148 and picturesque valley of the Alleghanies. The camp building proper is two-storied: the first floor containing kitchen, mess room, pantry. Cookce's room and lobby.” The second floor is a vast bunk-room of slat beds. I Ik boss's office, blacksmith shop and stable trail along down the valley. Let us now face about and go up along the run. Here, on the right of the railroad track is a large log landing with thousands of I g piled side by side. Above is last summer’s slashing, bare and barren. Notice how well defined the skid wavs are. Yonder on the left you can sec a long, narrow, serpentine slide, extending far up the mountain. As the land is not steep en igh there for skid ways, the logs are drawn by horses over the slide to the landing, lieyond. at the next landing. we see a marvel of modern mechanism—a steam loader, which handles a log of iooc feet of lumber in mid air as easily as you can swing a cane. Hut. listen! A low. pleasant tone sti ikes the car. The sea-shell summons :o dinner—11 a. m. After a lapse of 15 minutes. the men. neatly washed and combed, eagerly await the indoor dinner signal.

The head push of our crew now points to a lofty hemlock just before us. I le also indicates how it shall fall by chopping great chips out of one side. Then the swish of the saw starts on the other side. As the steel pushes its way into the tree’s life, the noble hemlock wavers a little, then trembles. The alarm is sounded by a voice down the mountain. A few more swishes, the tree sighs, its top moves forward, then plunges through mid-air with a soul-rending groan, coming to earth with a terrible thump.

On our return for supper at five, we pass a gang of Italian laborers, laving tracks on the right of way to reach the new slashings. They live in an old log camp below ours called Little Italy. Supper past, the lobby is filled wi ll smoke and jokes. Teddy. the pet raccoon. gets his daily teasing.

From A X roiu v Three Texdekeoot. Education and Life. To this title which I have selected for the few words it is my privilege to address to my friends and companions in education and in life, the readers of tiie 1906 Ruby,” I well might add the word psychology, for I have been asked to write abou: something that lies close to my chosen interests. Psychology, education and life; each is inclusive of what goes before, since psycholgy is a mode of discipline that may contribute valuably to that training for life which is truly education. If there is one thing that my experience in college and in professional work, makes me especially anxious to sav it is that the spirit of work counts for infinitely more than the materials with which we work. Sympathy, enthusiasm, helpfulness make of the teacher a living force in the lives of his students; earnestness, conscientiousness, sincerity render the student worthy of the opportunities of life. Psychology is traditionary dry, uninteresting and unintelligible by reason of the philosophically speculative methods which for ages characterized it. But with the proper kind of mental initiative and sympathetic human insight in the teacher it can he made as deeply interesting to the average student and as fundamentally important in its influence upon the development of the mind and modes of action of the forming individual as any of our educational disciplines. Most of us in our teaching and in our studying are too mechanical, too conventional, too servile in our dependence upon others, too much given to working by rule and rote. It is not the subject, but the way it is presented, that inspires the student with a love of work, or renders him careless, indifferent. dishonest, that fills him with vital and motivating interest in the facts and problems of the subject in hand and their relations to life, or renders him incapable of grasping the opportunities for gaining culture, refinement, insight, in a word, strength and symmetry of character. Individual initiative, freedom and courage to act according to the deepest insight of one's life—these the teacher should help us to gain ; yes. should force us to gain, if in our ignorance of what is truly valuable we should scorn them. Comparative psychology, if I may turn for a moment to my own narrow specialty. is attractive to me not because of its special educational values, but rather because of its problems. For mental development, whether in the individual or in the race, is a fascinating field for research. And if the knowledge of the various forms, aspects and relationships of the mental processes which comes to the faithful student of the subject does not give him deeper insight into life, keener appreciation of the duties and responsibilities of his position, if it does not make him a better teacher in the school, in the office, in the factory, in the field, wherever he may be brought into contact with his fellow men. it is because he is not made of 151 tiu- stuff men are made of. and has not been able to take the right attitude toward his studies. After all we arc all teachers of one another—a few of us make it our chief work and are therefore doubly responsible for the nature of our influence upon the growing impressionable mind—and the attitude which we take toward our studies in school will curse or bless us throughout life. 'I'he training which we caii education moulds our lives. If we are insincere, dishonest, mean, ignoble, careless in our school work, even the least of its duties, these characteristics will be likely to remain with us and grow upon us as we enter upon the larger duties and responsibilities of life. Habits are formed almost imperceptibly, ibis we know without the psychologists telling, and once formed they steer us toward success or failure, toward the admirable or the despicable in character and personalia according as we have at first chosen wisely or foolishly. There is nothing more important for us to realize as students than that our school days are not merely the joyous play days of life from which no matter how we spend them, we shall he able to pass with strength of mind, of heart and of character sufficient unto the demands of the hour into the sterner sphere of social obligations and individual striving. The days of youth, in school and out. should be ga and joyous, but we should all realize that carelessness then in all probability means carelessness always, that insincerity or dishonesty in the apparently trivial things of to-day means the eternal dwarfing of our personalities. These things and such as they, the psychologist can sav with even deeper feeling and truer appreciation of their significance than the preacher or the moralist, for his studies of the principles of mental development constantly impress upon him the dangers in wrong mental attitudes. ROBERT M. YERKES. 97. Harvard I 'niversity. 152 THE eo ED. 1 need not stop to tell you, for you must surely know. That dainty fairy maiden, with smiles her face aglow. As she trips along so lightly, her duties seem but play. Always kind and jovial, ever frank and gay. But do not think her shallow, she hath a depth of mind, With the keenest thought therein, as one is wont to find. She delves in mystic science, its theories unfolds. From noble thoughts and actions, a woman’s virtue moulds. As such wc see the Coed, who about us daily moves. A girl and yet a woman, as each occasion proves. Well may we stop to wonder and truly then surmise. How when her college days are o'er.she'11 to her station rise. And move in helpful splendor, among her common sex, To show the way to virtue lies over things that vex. To draw her sex up to her, and teach the lesson well. Of virtue fallen from heaven, and folly risen from hell. And live a life of kindness, nobly ideal. Deserving glowing tributes, not dreams, but real. Harman, ’06. 154 Life at Olevian. As oik- passes through Collcgevi'le. he sees on the west campus a low. ram-' ling building. almost hidden hy shrubbery. This is Convent Olevian.” the dor mitory building of the fair Cc-eds of L'rsir.us. At present the fair sisters are limited in number, nevertheless, they are noted far and wide for their good deeds and generous hospitality. The Crsinus Co-eds at Olevian number eight, excluding the Mother Superior and the genial Librarian. If it were possible, the writer of this article would like to give the reader a peep into some of the girls' rooms.— for they arc genuine college rooms. Great taste is displayed in the decorations, showing the girls to he connoisseurs in the art. Pictures, pennants and various other ornaments are tastefully scattered all around. One room in particular reminds one of an artist's den. with its large array of photos arranged along the walls. But we must no. forget the cosy corners. These occupy a prominent place in the room of every college girl. Here, ensconced among a pile of downy cushions of every size and shape, she often wiles away the hours; sometimes in deep meditation; again in day-dreaming, but more often (let me whisper i. gently) in sound sleep. Do not get the impression that the girls at ()levian do not study. Why many of the Co-eds are among the most brilliant students. Very often the rules of St. Benedict are laid aside, and social intercourse is enjoyed between the monks of Monastery Crsinus and the sisters of Convent Olevian. Parties and teas are of frequent occurrence. The social feeling has many staunch supporters at Crsinus. The most important social event, and one which is always looked forward to with a great deal of pleasure, is the Hallowe’en Party, on All Saints Kvc. At this time the spacious reception room takes on a weird but festive look. It is night, and the shades are slowly wandering to Convent Olevian. the scene of festivities. The floor opens as if hy magic, and soon the room is filled with spectral figures. The place is dimly lighted hy Jack-o-lan-terns. while autumn leaves, shocks of corn, and large yellow pumpkins arc scattered all around. But these ghostly forms soon assume their natural selves, and then we find ourselves surrounded by the girls and hoys of Crsinus. 'This feast usual1) continues until the twelfth hour, then while the walls still resound with college songs, the good nights are said. Of course the fudge parties and the calls of the regulars must not be forgotten. These concern only the initiated few. But the Co-eds have their serious side also. The hours from seven until ten are usual')- spent in study. During this time each girl is supposed to be in her own room, hard at work. Quiet reigns supreme, and it is then that the Mother Superior may relax her vigilance. Taken all in all. the life at Convent Olevian is all that mav he desired. 156 MARY E. LONG. 1906. I'm Oni. Sidk. Tiik Omt:i Sii� :. A Prophecy A pet day-dream of the Girls of 1906 was realized last evening when all our hopes and plans for the future were disclosed to me in a night dream. There is often a great difference between these two kinds of dreams, but this once they corresponded exactly. It was in September of the year 1910 that one of the old 1906 boys, weary and exasperated, dismounted from a train at the station at Dangtown. Here he in quired for the famous P. H. .. . School for Young Women. and was directed up a neighboring hill. As he mounted, the spires of the glistening white marble made him quiver and tremble. Was he here to meet as Professors and bosses of this great and fashionable school, his own classmates, those girls who had at times acted so much like two-year-old children? When he reached the top. the sight dazzled him. So this was a college, a veritable imitation—of his dream of the Princess Ida. Beauty and knowledge went hand in hand—not many yards off. seated upon the green turf was a class of young women, ah clad in loose, flowing red robes. These were taught Greek by a small blonde woman who wore a huglier and redder and silkier robe than any of the others. Could that be she? The little Tot, whom lie used to skate and sled with while at college? Well, wonder of wonders ! Who could that be in the brown walking skirt and tan leggings? The new woman surely! And what was she talking about and showing to those one bun dred other brown-clad, tan-legginged creatures? Bugs and animals. Yes. lots of them. They were extracting teeth, amputating arms and legs, and trying all sorts of unheard-of experiments. Well to be sure he remembered that little black eyed girl at college who was always and forever talking about acids and bugs. The man walked and walked, wondering where the remaining two teachers could be. when suddenly he turned a corner of the palace and saw a crystal lake upon whose bosom was another class. These were all in sea green, their hair flying with the wind, and as they rowed they counted tin. deux, trois, quatorze, and then one maiden raised her head and said. “Regardez. Madamoiselle. sur la rivage! The teacher, sitting in the bow of one boat lifted her head and—thunder and lightening —if it wasn’t the same face which had smiled a: him the day he had played “Haas im Peffer on the Perkiomen. But she did not recognize him. and soon they had rowed out of sight. Retracing his steps, lie entered the building, and there perched upon a throne was the Dean; yes, Mary Ellen, whom lie used to have such fun with in Latin class. At dinner he met them all. and what a cordial reception it was! The Professors became almost hilarious in their joy at welcoming an old classmate, and they decided to go with him for one week to visit the rest of 1906. With Martin Walker as chaperon, they started to reclaim the lost. Their “Lord 158 Byron was in Boston practicing law. After traveling Miles to sec Iveascy. they found him married, blit still as jolly as ever. Faringer was leading physician in Kutztown. Pennsylvania. They met Mabry with a crowd of baseball players, lie was star pitcher on the Phillies team. How proud of him they were! Hartman was hauling hay. and they soon learned he had become one of the most prosperous farmers in;Berks County. After a good, old-fashioned country dinner with him. they all sat and listened to the wondrous tales of the remaining three classmates. Dotterer was in San Francisco practising law. delivering orations and making love to all “those charming Western girls. Wise and Harman were in China converting millions of heathen a day. Such an illustrious class! They were all proud of their tribe, but the girls longed for their work on the hill, the palace, the trees, the llowers. the beautiful women scholars, the seclusion from the world. They were climbing the hill, the tower glistened in the sunlight, they heard the maidens’ laughter as they played at ball. But alas! They never reached the top. for mv dream had been suddenly snapped, and only the prosaic school life remained. To-morrow we would all meet together as usual, with the same Latin, Creek and French, and we would be pupils instead of teachers. The day dream lingers, however, and one of our wiksest fancies is still that it may some day actually come true. A. MABEL IIOBSOX. 06. January 6. 1905. 159 Did yoti en)er See Claude in pajamas?

Another one of those mysterious meetings! To-day at 4 o’clock the married members of the Faculty emerged from the bosoms of their respective families, the ever-rcddy bachelor members chewed their whiskers more vigorously, as all proceeded to discuss a momentous question which needed immediate attention. A Ruby editor, rendered invisible by a magic sheet, entered with the rest, the council chamber. All were present. After the “Old Doc had adjusted his spectacles, and produced a inv pocket-mirror for the purpose of re-arranging his little white tie. and rubbed his hands vigorously, he said: ‘ Gentlemen but before lie got any further, some one suggested singing. “Here's to Old L'rsinus, Drink Her Down. Drink Her Down.” whereupon mi lord Gettel was dispatched to the realms of Hu to—Keiner—to concoct some cheering but not inebriating beverage to accompany the song. During his absence the Faculty indulged in a few moments meditation, broken only by a snore from one corner, and by the crackle of “ Barbarossa’s match as he lighted a fresh pipe. W ith an ecstatic smack of the lips, mi lord carried in the huge demi john. The old “Doc arose to announce the object of the meeting. “I’m not much of a talker. Talking is not my forte, and therefore speaking is not in my line. I cannot speak or talk, as it were, because I am not particularly ready at the making of a speech, due partly to the fact that I am not much of a talker, anyhow, and seldom, if ever, speak. 1 wid therefore not hole you this time by attempting to speak, since a speech by one who like myself is. as you are possibly aware, not a fluent nor indeed in any sense an eloquent speaker, is apt to he a bore sometimes. Bui I can tell the object of this meeting—to consider whether it is advisable to allow our youngest member to escort one of the fair ones to the opera without a chaperone. Now 1 desire to hear vour opinion on this question. If we give precedent to his Royal Highness, we must think of the future.’’ Whereupon Bar-barosa jumped up suddenly as the full meaning dawned upon him and exclaimed. I he idear! I never thought for a minute that this youngest member would have made the initiar. by he has cut me out. I could have explained the operar to her much better. 'The very idear! I can't get over it. What’s he know about dramars? Xo. sir: don’t let him go. “But now. gentlemen. broke in the voice of the diggcr-of-l.atin-roots, this is a theatre he is going to, is it? Xo, sir—um-ah-gentlemen. I do not approve, for by such an action he is leading from the pure paths of virtue one of our bright and shining lights. And a chaperone? Is it not the immortal Virgil who says, ‘varium et mutabile semper femina?’ You benedicts may consider that as a 'lapsus lingui.' but I would not trust a tender, young blossom to one of the fickle, designing women. Ah! no. These dissenters seemed to have won the day when the little Doc and the little “Herr both jumped up at once and squeaked I move we adjourn. but 162 “rmpa-bummpa Wertzburger jerked them down in their chairs and said. Adi. new. let him go this once. Young peoples wi'l he young peoples, and it doesn't mean that we other professors must efer open our lean jx cket-lx)oks to those aw ful girls. Himmel! Preserve me from the women—I came to America to get away from them and here hey are worse than efer. Yes. yes let him go. The austere body as one man shex k its hoary ( ? head, but in the twinkling of an eye. the prodigious frame of his Royal Highness itself arose in their midst aj? he drawled. O-you-crea-tures-that-call-vour-selvcs the Facul-.y of this-college-make-me-weary. You’re-too-slow-to-prance-up-to-a girl-your-self and then you fuss-be-cause-I did.

At this a panic ensued, and the dtmi-john was upset, but everybody rushed out. and, with coat-tails living, slid down the banis er and escaped, as the Old Doc called fearfully from the distance Pax vobiscum.’ and his Royal Highness smilingly wended his way llevian-ward. SCHAFF GAZETTE. - x 1 3 THE URSINdS BOY. Is he a boy, or is he a man? Who can say it? Say who can. Sometimes he’s merry, happy, free, .Jollier far than a man could he. He jumps in athletics with all his might, And for victory you should see him fight; He tackles his rivals and lays them low And wins where a man could stand no show. A boy he must he, both supple and strong. To fight for the good and oust the wrong; On the gridiron a boy he must always remain To uphold old I'rsinus’ honor and fame. Hut. when in the class room he appears To work out questions of by-gone years. The light hearted boy is cast away And the man comes forth to win the day. And in deeds of courtesy, round about The boy disappears, the man steps out; In the realm of society ne holds sway The boy grows dim and slips away. Thus each has a place which he must fill He it all down-grade or up a hill He must work for I’rsinus whenever he can. He must fight like a hoy and like a man. He must be each in both and both in each And after the highest always reach,— And this of the I’rsinus boy be it said. He can surely be both, if he set his head. Mabki.

It was one of those beautiful September days, which foretold the approach of Indian Summer. The campus was covered with a coat of rich green. The tall trees, silhouetted against the sky. east deep shadows all around, while the leaves, slightly tinged with yellow, seemed preparing :o do homage to King Autumn. 1 lere and there, one saw groups of fellows talking and laughing, while now and then a fair Co-ed hurried by. It was the opening day of the college in the Fall of 1902. This was nothing unusual in itself, and to most of the I’rsinusites. no special significance was attached to it. 1 lowever. to frequenters of the college and its environs, there appeared a number of new faces—some shy and wearing that bewildered look ; others more confident and self-contained. These were the 1906 5, who came from different sections of the I iiion to swell the ranks of I'rsinus. When questioned, most of us were unable to give a good reason for coming to college. Hartman's chief reason for coming was to play Haas 1m Pfeffcr. 'i'llrough his teaching, Kid became quite an expert, but Foltz couldn't catch on to the game. Often the former two could be found whiling awa the time, until the “wee sma’ hours of the morning. Several of the other 1906’s were inveigled by them occasionally, but not to am extent. Mabry came to college to write let-u-rs. He says distance lends enchantment to the view, and it must, foi the large correspondence between them testifies to this fact. However, he always consoles himself by saying that he Wil-son be through college and then! Another reason was his pitching proclivities. In this latter, he is an artist of no mean ability. Keasey imagined the mathematical atmosphere of the college would be conducive to his health. At 1 resent the metropolis of Massachusetts has strong attractions for him. Wise admired the religious setting of the place, and spent a great deal of time in studying the architectural style of the Treasurer's home. Harman thought it was such a quiet, dreamy spot, where one would surely be inspired to write verse—b’ank, hexameter, or any other sort. Dotterer and’ Foltz came to Ursinus to raise the social standards of the 1906’s and of the college in general; the former to take consties, and the latter to play football. Rein represents the athletic phase of the class. He came to I’rsinus because he didn't go anywhere else, also to play football and baseball. Hut the Co-eds must not he forgotten. There were six during the Freshman year, but two have gone out from the classic halls of I'rsinus. The Co-eds came here before they were Freshmen, and it is whispered they came to study and to take honors. They added very much socially to the Class, and in fact to the entire college. The 1906 Co-eds were popular as Freshmen, and their popularity has increased with time. They possess all the known and several unknown accomplishments. and the boys of 1906 have always been proud of the Co-ed members of their class. 172 Well, somehow we all got an ■■introduce to each other, and found out we were brothers and sisters in a common cause—the ( lass of 1906. That first morning in chapel, everyone was on the qui vive. We were unorganized as a class, but someone had suggested a yell, which was quietly whispered to each Freshman in turn. After the chapel service we gave our yell— Rip! rah! Rip! rah! Rip ! raii ! rix ! L'ksinus. UrsINI'S, 1 yo6. We had hardly done this before the Sophomores swooped down upon us in the back part of the chapel. However, several members of the Faculty happened to be in chapel that morning, and order was again restored. For several months there was an antagonistic feeling between the two classes, but finally peace was proclaimed. A number of things happened throughout the year. The psychological view is, that only dim outlines of former events may be recalled, and since many of these happened in the “dim vista of the past, their remembrance is indeed faint and shadowy. ()ur Freshman banquet, however, stands out as one of the greater lights. It took place one beautiful November evening, and in order to avoid all suspicion, we went in bunches of twos and threes. Finally we all got together. The menu was good, but somewhat abbreviated. The committee in charge had neglected to order soup. This article was finally added in the shape of French bouillion. for which an outlay of gold bullion was made. There was no dancing because the piano was non csl. Upon our return, instead of finding doivny beds of case, we found them rather sticky. During our absence some of our pseudo (?) friends had called and left a reminder of their visit. Available “kivvers were pretty scarce that night. )f course this was only an incident, such as happens in the lives of all gieat men. Such little things, like falling out of bed. and getting one’s pedal ornaments in close proximity with the contents of a bag of “(iold Medal. are of minor importance and are soon forgotten. However, our Freshman year had a fitting ending. 'Pile last event of importance wfas a picnic given by our fair Co-eds. The afternoon was spent in gliding up and down the placid waters of the IVrkiomen, with Prof, and Mrs. LeCompte as chaperons. Thus ended our Freshman year, amidst au revoirs and hand-shakings, and promises to write, which were faithfully kept in some instances. Balancing the bitter with the sweet, we would declare w ith one voice that the latter far exceeded the former. Phis all happened in the days of long ago. but we can truly say, w ith the poet, that Mem’ries ami fancies and dreams of the past Will live and will never die. And we’ll love them and make them a pari of to-day Though we- think of them oft with a sigh.” 173 Maktin W. Smith, 1900.

Tuesday last was. in truth, an eventful day in world history, Great affairs transpired in all places of Uncle Sam’s domain, for Teddy was elected President and the country saved from ruin. So say we all of ns lustily sang the Republican Committee of Ursinus College. h! but the next day will long be remembered in the annals of the College, for it witnessed the exodus of the Salt River pilgrims. They set forth, not like the old time grand excursion, but more like the little crew of some fishing smack. Rut undaunted in their faith, true to their colors. loyal to their party, did this little band depart to celebrate the defeat of their hero. Alton 15. Parker. !n true Salvation Army style, they began their line of march with banners living and voices lifted in song. Mabry lead the procession, while in his steps marched Rcisner, Eeidy. Crunklcton and Baron Miller, the shining lights of Ursinus. The two lonely Democratic Co-eds. Bertha Evelyn and Mary Helffenstcin. brought up the rear. To the great uplifting of the regiment and the delight of Young America. Miss Stoner orated on the noble features of Alton B. as compared with those of Teddy, and avows that if only woman suffrage were in vogue the country would be saved from the terrifing evils of a Republican administration. W hen the procession reached Barrett’s Wharf, they hastily embarked in the best boat available and their memorable voyage began. Mabry was elected captain of the crew: Leidy was appointed to the care of the machinery; Crunkletoii was assigned the difficult task of entertaining the ladies; Miller was left free to wave farewell to his Alma Ma;er as the boat sped past the green shores of G en Farm; the rest of the crew made themselves useful on the lower deck. To Mary Hclf-fenstein was awarded the charge, without let or hindrance, of the entire culinary department: while Bertha Evelyn, unskilled in the domestic arts, was left to fall back on her own resources for amusement. The first day’s sailing was uneventful, but after the boat reached Schwenks-ville the band met such rough and stormy sailing that they thought there surely must be a Jonah among them. But all declared themselves staunch supporters of Parker and Democracy. X’ot once in thought or deed had they erred from the broad and wide way which lead them to political destruction. Finally they were forced to attribute the roughness of the river to the distasteful and disastrous waves of Republican air rolling down from Penny-packer’s muzzled hills. Pennsburg was reached just in time to lay in a new supply of provisions. Four barrels of water, twenty-five pounds of switzer and twenty dozen pretzels were stored in the upper cabin. Forty hams were added for the sole benefit of Uncle Munch Miller. Quiet and peaceful sailing followed. With Rcisner as toastmaster the crew convened at a banquet to celebrate the occasion of their excursion. Mabry was the first one to eulogize in honor of their bereaved Alton B. 178 His toast ran somewhat as follows: Here's to the success of Alton B. Parker Who in the Democratic ranks was the biggest barker. To him. at whose feet we once had knelt. I’nill he was hit on the head by Roosevelt. Crunkleton. having entertained the ladies to the limit of their endurance, then arose and extemporized somewhat after this manner: () drink to the health of (lassaway. Who it appears was only in the way. Let us now bump glasses every one For the poor, old man was eighty one. Miss Stoner, not wishing the Co-eds t � remain unrepresented, takes advantage of the confusion attending the close of the former toast, jumps up and hursts forth in stentorian tones: Here’s to dear Dr. Swallow Whom papa and 1 did follow. But he met with sore defeat But by our aid he’ll again regain his feet. The toastmaster, Reisner. then arises in his dignity and closes the meeting In giving in his impressive and solemn pitch of tone the following: Blest be the tie that binds Parker's necktie in a bow If we don’t meet him up above We’ll surely meet him down below The delegation as a whole joins in singing the chorus, after which the benediction is pronounced.

In the days of long ago. When dusky sons and daughters Its banks roamed to and fro. I love its lisping music, Irs liquid lullaby: A soothing song that lolls along Like lover’s peaceful sigh. ’Tis a song of lips grown speechless. Of a warring, savage race. Whose watch-lire’s gleam, near the classic stream Oft shimmered upon its face. Like dreams, well nigh forgotten. These shadows conic and go, From out the gloom of Time’s dark womb Like spectral shapes of snow. Tis a song of limpid waters More bright than Tiber's stream— A song of spray—a silv'ry lay— That came from blades agleam. Oh bright, pure stream, still flowing. We bless thy waters fair. As warriors hold, in times grown old. Attuned their voice in pray’r. 'Tis a song of purling waters. Whose wavelets kiss the shore.
