IN 0 •Professor Corner jfemitl), Pi).D. ROFESSOR HOMER SMITH was bom in the year 1867. at Boston, Massachusetts, where his father was prosperously engaged in business. Dr. Smith was at an early age given over to the cause of learning. He was sent to the Mt. Vernon Public School, in his native town, where he mastered the horn-books. His father, seeing that the son was more ambitious for an education than for business, took steps to provide for and satisfy this ambi tion. He attended the Roxbui y Latin School preparatory to his entering Amherst College. At Amherst he took the full college course, graduating in iS i with the degree of A.B. Wishing to specialize in English Literature, he took post-graduate work at the University of Pennsylvania, from which place he received the degree of Ph.D. in 1895. Since his graduation from Amherst. Dr. Smith has had wide and varied experience as a teacher. From 189 until 1S9S. during which time he also completed his post-graduate work, he was engaged as Instructor of English at the University of Pennsylvania. From 1899 to 1901 he was Professor f English at the Kamehameha School, Honolulu. His Alma Mater then asked for his services, and until 190, wc find him competently discharging the duties of Acting Professor of English Literature at Amherst College. It was with this wide experience that he came to Ursinus College in the fall of 1905. being elected Professor of the English Language and Literature. During the rive years in which he has been identified with the college as head of his department, the courses in English have been improved and extended. Students in general, and those in particular who are farther advanced, found the courses offered very interesting and instructive. Dr. Smith is :«' ► gifted with musical talent. He is Instructor in Organ, and for a time filled most ably the organistship of Trinity Reformed Church, Collegeville. He has been an invaluable factor in many phases of college life. For several years he has been the Faculty member of the Athletic Committee, in which his ideas and suggestions always stand for progress. He is one of the few members of the Faculty who show a lively interest in the Ursinus Union, being a regular attendant at its meetings. He is a mem-lur of the Executive Board of the Ursinus Weekly. His manifestations of keen interest in the welfare of the college, his scholarly attainments in the dennrtment of his choice, ami his general culture, all makes Professor Smith worthy of tin-high degree of respect and appreciation accorded him.

Vet a little while, and our career as student' at Ursinus will have come to a • close. few more months, ami our four years of varied college life will be at an end. The real, earnest years of life will be upon us. and we will face that momentous question, lias it been worth while? Probably there is no experience in life so interesting as the four years of a college course. In the fall of 1904 there assembled at Ursinus twenty four candidates for matriculation as Freshmen. Fight of the candidates were girls. All succeeded in being registered, and awaited with feverish anxiety the opening of college. The fust day of the term was inaugurated with a slight skirmish with the husky 1907'$. Chapel was no sooner dismissed than a quick, sharp yell announced the presence of our enterprising class. The Sophs were upon us iu a minute, and hostilities began. Before there was any decisive issue, the Dean appeared on the scene and stopped the fracas. Posters soon appeared, supposedly for our benefit, but they mysteriously disappeared before wc had a good opportunity to study them. Then came the glorious moonlight night and the morning following, when our numerals appeared to the mortified gaze of the Sophs. The crowning feature of the year, however, was the class banquet What memories that night calls to mind!—the blinding snow-storm, when we slipped away; the cozy, warm banquet ha!! of The Hamilton: the toasts and souvenirs, and the glorious moonlight when we returned. Many were too laughs wc had over the discomfiture of the Sophs. They were worthy foes, however, and were among the first to congratulate us upon our success. The remainder of the year passed quietly, with one exception. The interclass baseball game came to an abrupt end in the eighth inning. The score stood S to 2 in oil 1 favor, when a decision of the umpire was questioned. The Sophs refused to continue, and the game was awarded to us. Upon our return for our Sophomore year, we were somewhat dismayed when we found that six out of our number had dropped out of college. This fact, however, seemed to unite the remaining few with closer bonds of fellowship, and we stood a firm unit. Wc imparted sound advice to the new Freshman class, and gave them the benefit of our experience. We also upheld our reputation in athletics by administering a defeat to '09 in the class baseball game. As Juniors we found our ranks still further depleted, and the friendship of classmates became more valued. We laid aside the carelessness and indifference of our former years, aril began to mold our minds to definite ends. • 2 As Seniors we have continued to maintain a high mark of scholarship and college fellowship. The end is rapidly approaching. Our history as a class is finished and our history as individuals is about to begin. The several members will be found in various walks of life, and onr best hope is that we all may be as successful in our chosen lines as we were in college. thus reflecting credit upon the class, the faculty, and our Alma Mater. What was worth accomplishing we endeavored to accomplish well. May we carry the example with us into the dim future! Success to the glorious Class of 1908! y Of SSV l UOINSS Class of 10OS There go the ships. LI [.I. Il£ IRENE BECK.....................................................................................

X. ad Junior Class THE histories of countries ami nations are written on bloody battlefields and in legislative halls, in history, we are taught, every great movement centers around the career of one man. The history of the Class of 1909 is written on the embattled campus, now verdant with the young spring: it is written on the athletic field, in the recitation rooms and in the alcoves of the library. Our history does not center about the movements of any one individual. To enumerate the events of the past two years would be a repetition. With each recurring year we arc reminded of a certain sameness, a certain monotony of toil and labor with which the years are fraught. We arc taught to be more easy going, and yet more thorough, we are taught to Ik- more serious, and withal more joyful and happy in living. Dignity is forced upon us. and we would feign cast it from us as an untimely branch: yet we must not. for are we not Juniors at colleger The two years of precept must In- followed by two years of example. The social life of a college year must, like the climate of a country, measure up to a certain average mean temperature. It' this temperature is lowered by unseemly conduct of underclassmen, it i- for the others l level up that temperature to the average mean. As a class we have been too busily engaged in our required work to make any radical departure from the accustomed routine of Junior life. In our common pursuit of highei things‘we have become more united as a class, and yet we fee! more than ever our individual responsibility. W - have desisted to a great extent from the numerous pranks in which we indulged in former years. Interclass spirit, except in a sympathizing way. we have put from us, and we are glad to say that there are no personal animosities existing between us and out rival” classes, if we may call them such, as a result of our lower class feuds. The Class of 1909 still numbers twenty members. We have two doctors, three preachers, seven lawyers, and the re maining ones will probably become teachers and professors. We have several members of the faculty in our const it tiency Six of our number are co-eds. One of the six is promoting our international relations with Cuba. We have with us a silent partner in the Pottstown branch 0 the Schuylkill Valley Traction Company The silver-tongued ora tor.' who is quoted by William J. Bryan and l- IX-Witt Tahnage. is a member of iqog Four of our boys are wearer of the U. and our girls starred at basketball last year. All this is mentioned merely in passing, not in a spirit of boast ing or pride, for what class is there whom we could envy Victor 5- 3t)fl WIIIJN the Class of 1909 began its illustrious career at Ursinus. it contained a man whose dignified and austere bearing at once marked him as a future great factor in life about the college. On being asked his name he uttered only a hissing sound, and the men were inclined to believe that he was some variety of internal machine, hut he sewn explained that having missed a night car at South Bethlehem, he spent the night near a soda fountain :n the “corner drug store, and said lw was Victor Jay Abel, from Hell cr some other town. When but an infant, having been informed that in order to become an athlete one must l e tough. Vie began to carry matches and smoke corn-silk. He was “tough see ? Ursinus owes not a littic of her success on the athletic field to this embryonic athlete. lie has well merited the captaincy of the football and track teams. In the class room “ parlez-vous” is his forte, the proverbial tongue twisters having no dread for him. For further particulars, consult Prof. Schumacher. In his particular line, history, his knowledge is unlimited. He can trace the ancestry of the kings back to the Amoeba, and as an economist lie predicted the late financial crisis last spring (after receiving the college bills). All in all. Vic is a student one that needs no label His only short coming is that he is an inveterate crook. However, since the Hast Wing faculty has seen tit to graduate him as such with honors, it is not for me to criticise him here. Vic intends becoming one of our great jurists, possessed of a “keen and astute mind his extreme truthfulness being combined with a thorough knowledge of graft, gained through numerous interviews at Harrisburg. I can only predict a glorious future for him. and in the next world, if he isn't caught hooking asbestos from the President's chair, we hope to find him employed whitewashing coal or taking his semi-hourly nap over the Iwilcrs. lola Alberta Sutler IX the peaceful little town of Iniogene, I wa. was born the subject tl.is sketch. This modest unassuming maiden spent her childhood days in that romantic sjxit. also gaining a part of her preparatory education in its public schools. In 1901 she journeyed with her parents from the far West to the village of Collcgcville. when- she entered Ursinns Academy as a first-year student. She entered college in the fall of 1905. joining the ranks of the jolly Nineteen-nines. As a Freshman she maintained her usual dignity and reticence, which was assailed, however, during her Sophomore year by a certain gallant, a fourth-year prep His persistent efforts were rewarded beyond expectations, and he is now one of the oldest in the “ regular service. Her specialties are English and German —the inclination for the latter being probably developed by her social environment. Her interest in Latin ceased when, after learning to conjugate the first verb in Beginner's Latin, she came to the future passive partit iple amandns. Her interest herewith became a past, present and future reality. Throughout her course she has proved herself to be a conscientious student, assiduously applying herself to her work. She is a member of the Modem Language Gr up and of the I'rsinus Union: also an active mcmlx-r of Zwinglian Society and V. V. C. A She has held offices in all these organizations, in which capacity she has always willingly and competently performed her duty. During the past year she has been teaching English to the “Cuban colony, which experience will aid her in following up this vocation after she has been graduated Her instruction in tin; class room under the honored German professor and her private lessons at night school will render her a thoroughly competent instructor in German. She will probably return to the wild and woolly West to teach, for there arc centered all her aspirations and affections. It is intimated that her highest ambition is to become a minister’s wife and help to serve some Dutch congregation with sauer-kraut and other such sweetmeats. If this be the happy ending of her I'rsinus career, our best wishes tor joy, happiness and prosperity attend her. ■� o Corner Uutljcr Custer THE halls of old Ursinus ever since their existence have resounded with the praises of the many famous students who. reared in the atmosphere alxnit the college, have, after entrance into that illus trious institution, become great factors in its development. On tlie twenty-third day of November. 1S85, Horace Custer began his career as a member of this great human family not a very pretentious boy. either but nevertheless destined to do great things. Spring City claims the honor of his birthplace, but they could not hold him When yet a boy he persuaded his father to move to Collegeville and go into the “punk and pie business, saying. “Why. pop, I'll drive the baker wagon, but please give me the Trappe route.” When the Class of 1009 made its debut on the front campus, Custer was there- very much, in fact, for this dough -ty youth proved himself a sturdy champion of his class. In his youth Cusr' was a close friend of Mooney's and a diligent student of that famous burnt-cork artist. By virtue of this. Horace tried for the track team. Of course lu had a verbal recommendation from his famous tutor, who said. Rud ? Gee whid, bud! lie cad rud! Custer made the team, and was among the victors at Penn. I lc is a mum her of the Glee Club. Yes. he can sing: nor has he acquired this talent without practice The story of Ins many hours sjicnt in voice culture equals that of Demosthenes of old; unlike Demosthenes, however, Custer chose a more propitious surrounding. After nightfall lie would wend his way to Olevian and there give vent to his feelings in a most heartrending manner. But the cats thereabouts could not stand the competition. with the result that the Chemical-Bi’s had no more domesticated felines. In the class room Custer ranks with the best of them. .Mathematics is his hobby. How old is Ann? and similar problems are everyday occurrences for him. At present lie is working on the problem. How many votes will it take at Ursirtus to make a man socially capable?” He is a member of the Charmidean Club and is a staunch Zwinglian. After graduation he intends to follow in the footsteps of his beloved friend, Dr. Wude. and who knows but that there might be a fair librarian m the Trappe grocery store for him to woo. 41 ittargaret J)ettrr Jfruling y ■ 1 as i ut I was born at Sunbury a |x-rsonage who. by her brightness and clear ms. was destine I to win !.■ mors .it L'rsinns. This person was named Margaret Vetter Fryling. : : « “ Bright Eyes. She received her early education in the Sunbury High School, from which institution she was graduated with honors in 1901 After graduation she was for two years an instructor in the schools of her native town. She then decided to widen Iter knowledge by taking a college course, for which purpose she came to Ursinus in the fall of 1905. Her sojourn here has been tilled with many remarkable events. She has in that time become very well acquainted with the faculty. During the three years she has been with us she has had. or is supposed to have had, nine bad strikes; but all of them have now passed into oblivion, so they evidently were not so serious as many considered them to l e. At present she exhibits a keen interest in the Cuban .language. It is predicted that she will progress rapidly under her instructor. During the first term of this college year she was exceedingly interested in the “Coach -ing of the girls on the subject of Barrier of Sexes. Her work as a student may well lx praised, as she has shown aptness in every branch of knowledge She is bright in everything, but is exceptionally good in history and economies. The topic she could discuss best of all in history was that part concerning the ' Norman Conquest, showing that she lias a friendly feeling in her heart for the Normans.” Her vision has not appeared as yet, so that wc are unable to know her future work, but though we know not what her aim in life will be, we are sure it will lx- freighted with abundant success and good fortune. 42 fEljomae itlcOouicll tfilLinb THOMAS McDOWIvLL Oil.I.AND. the object of This biography, was born in tin- nineteenth century, during the reign of Grover Cleveland, in the one hundred and eleventh year of our nation’s independence. Down on a farm near Grueneastlc Franklin County, this young son of the soil learned to walk and to chatter the words mom mom and da-da at he dictation of his parents. In the exhilarating environment of his native county. McDowell waxed strong and was soon able to pitch his first load of hay. From his infancy little Thomas took readily to the political faith of his day. Following the principles of the then ruling parly Tom” has become a staunch disciple of the ever-willing Willie, the great American Commoner. After Nebuchadnezzar. ’ or in short Nebbie. together with John Alfred Koons had absorbed all the knowledge to he had at Grccncasllc High School, he entered Chambersburg Academy in 1004. and was graduated from that institution the following year. In the fall of 1905 Xcbbie was safely landed :n the Hast Wing of Ursinus College through the fostering care and guidance of Mother Koons. During the first year of his college career N'ebbie was registered in the Latin-Mathematical Group, and the hop was entertained that his name would someday perhaps be ranked with the leading mathematicians of our country: but our hopes were all blasted when, at the beginning' o: his Sophomore year, he changed to the Historical-Political Group. Some day his voice m v be heard in the halls of Congress. Who knows? Nebbie’s cheerful, even disposition has won for him the friendship and good-will of the fellows and the co-eds alike, although the eff -ts of the fair sex to entangle him in their meshes have all been in vain. It lias recently been rumored, however, that Wilson College holds the object of his affections. His popularity is shown by the fact that he lias twice lxen elected Manager of the 'Varsity Football Tram. He is a member of the Charmidean Club and the Sehaff Literary Society, for which lie is an active worker. After graduation he expects to return to God’s country” and take up the study of law as his life's work. We predict and wish him much success in his chosen profession May his life he long and happy! . 4J Wrlromr Merman Zvcrsrlmcr SEVERAL years after the Civil War there sprang up a plant which was destined to attract the attention of even those not directly interested in science. Strange to say. this nasty weed is always Welcome.” wherever it is. It seems to thrive best amid rocky soil, and is most luxuriant in the vicinity of the marble quarries of Montgomery County. ” Kersch says that he grew from boy to man tied to his father's office chair. Patrons would inquire why his father disfigured his office with such a sjH-cimen. The answer came. I am trying to reform him.” Sherman has been a Reformed to this day. As a social man he has few equals. Along this line lie is of high experience, for oft has he sat in the court of Good Oueen Bess. Upon political questions he has never lost a bet, not even with his chum. He often conies into contact with great statesmen. The King of Prussia has often made him a welcome guest. He plays the brass baud” in the Reformed Church of Collegeville. sings at funerals, and lias decided to become a preacher. Sherman isn't so bad as he looks. He's a pretty good fellow, and we couldn't get along without him. Kind to everybody, he has friends when ever he goes, and among the fellows, who is of more cheerful nature than Kersch ? Talented as he is m music. Sherman is indisjiensable to the musical life of Ursinus. Xor is he in the rear of the literary ranks. Honors and prizes have liven awarded him. and he is a very staunch member of Zwing-iian Society. In the fall of 1907 the Athletic Association lost one of its l cst men when an injured knee compelled Kersch to keep off the gridiron. However. he played a noble part on the 'Varsity team of 1906. lie was a member of the Varsity baseball team of of and '07. also of the class teams, and we are all grateful to him for pitching the winning game against the Freshmen when we were Sophomores. His past is tedious in volume, his present mysterious in form, and his future boundless in bright hope. •w Joint IcUfrrt) ftoons BE not afraid This is ME, Jack Allfircd Koons. called for short Mis Mouth Endureth Forever John Alfred Koons I began to make use of MY optical apparatus about the ;oth day of January, 1S86, when I beheld the beauties of Franklin County, or “God’sCountry, for the first time.

Perhaps tis needless to remark that there was such rejoicing that even the post-master gave away postage stamps, and there was some talk of electing the new arrival Burgess, but they were unable to learn whether lie was Republican or Democrat. There was also a fund started by the college authorities for the erection of new dormitories, tor here was a prospective student Francis' pa being an M.D., it was not long before the kids of the town began to refer to Francis as Do. and immediately visions came to him that some day he would be a real doctor like his pa. After having passed the tender years ot his lib around the house, he became so unmanageable that he was sent to the Collcgeville Public School, w. icli place he s' n drained of its knowledge. He thm entered I rsinus Academy, and by hard work succeeded in winning the scholarship entitling hint t a tour-years'course in the college, which he entered in the fall of ioo .

I a His horoscope was favorable: the sun stood in the sign of the Virgin am: had reached the highest point for the day: Jupiter and Venus cast friendly glances, and Mercury not to the contrary, while Saturn and Mars remained indifferent; the moon alone, jus full, exerted the power of her reflection all the more because she was no longer under the direct influence of the planets. These good aspects which the astrologers managed to reckon favorably lor him may have been the causes of his preservation. His early life was spent in attending the public schools of his native-town. Here lie pursued his studies with great zeal and earnestness. How ever. during the latter part of his school career he joined a labor union, and paraded the streets in quest of shorter school hours and a more efficient teaching force. But his ambition and desire for knowledge did not cease at this point, for by diligent work with tutors, it carried him to Ursinus in the fall of 1905. Since then lbs life reads like a fairy tale. In athletics he has not failed to show an encouraging, spirit. He :s a diligent student, attends church regularly, and for special reasons never misses the Christian Endeavor meetings. He takes an active part as a member of the Zwinglian Literary Society and the Charmidean Club. In these and other organizations he is developing oratorical ability which we hope may. in the near future, gain for him a prominent place in the estimation of the public. His ambition is to become a minister. Indeed, if we review a custom in his early life, what profession could be more suitable? Upon arriving at some abstract in his mode of thinking, he would occasionally preach a sermon at home over the r« :l sofa cushions. The sermon was. I believe, some eleven words long—very exemplary in that respect -and still must have been the purest gospel, for it began with. People, be good. For him we predict a successful career. 47 £li$abrtf) knit Hong IT is ;i ditTicult task for the biographer to make a Long story short, ami it is equally lithcult. to condense the life of one-fifth of a century into a few lines. In such a case, the best tiling to do is to narrate simply the turning points which, as in all great lives, are so instrumental in determining an uncertain future. Well can Elizabeth Kratz Long boast of her connection with titles of nobility, for ever since September. 1888. King of Prussia has seen mamma's darling holding sway in the large stone house built at the cross-roads. With u little book-bag under her arm. she was daily seen strolling down the road to the little red school house, where it was found out that the convolutions of her brain were very deep, and first honor was easy for her to get. Thirsty for more knowledcge. the next year found her making daily trips to Norristown High School, and here. too. she was graduated with high rank. The King could no longer hold such an accomplished lady, and now the walls of Ursinus give her inspiration. She is no longer in mother's care, but is efficiently chaperoned by her aunts on Pifth Avenue Fortunately, Bessie lias found many of her talents and constantly makes use of them. She takes a fancy to pen-sketching and is one of the artists of our class. Gibson pictures are her masterpieces, and frequently they serve as very Welcome presents. As an actress she has distinguished herself in Schaff anniversaries, giving her services in ‘ The Rivals” ami “Arms and the Man. In athletics, too. Bessie is an enthusiastic-worker In basketball she has taken an active part as guard, and in baseball and football, where her services are not needed, her cheers are enough to urge the players on to victory. Furthermore she is religiously inclined, and Sunday always finds her in Sunday school, church, and Christian Endeavor. As she thinks that her calling is in this direction, a few years of teaching will probably wind up in missionary work. But being a In-liever in co-operations and partnerships. she will become a member of a firm, and together they will spread the gospel to all nations. May the days spent in China, on Greenland's icy mountains. or in the hills of Schuylkill County be the most pleasant ones, and though her name be changed, may her life be long and filled with success in every undertaking. UhUiam Samuel Hong THIS erratic adolescent William Samuel Long, first saw the glories of dawn in the typical mountain town of Weatherly. Carbon County. I’a. Nestling snugly in a grotto among the jagged, unexplored, hut withal picturesque la-high Mountains, covered by a howling wilderness. this town is indeed not worthy of being the birthplace of famous men; yet such was the environment that surrounded this son as he passed his early childhood and acquired the many eccentricities and idiosyncrasies which are still so characteristic of him. Little is known of “Zeke” previous to his matriculation at Ursinus: 1 111 from that time, volumes could be written concerning the brilliant career of this dashing, vivacious young man. Upon entering college ' Hill” at once obtained a dying start by being enraptured with the glances :f the co-eds. and ere long he was the real hero in a live romance which terminated only when he was discovered to be a fair deceiver. Xot daunted in the least. Zeke now turned his attention toward athletics, in which department lie acquitted himself nobly. As husky center on the “scrub. time after time when defeat seemed inevitable he would rise a la Napoleon” above his teammates, and by the most herculean efforts and with the most endearing and appealing expressions turn apparent defeat into ultimate victory. Zig's career as a student needs no tribute here. He is a loyal member of his class, a hard-working Zwinglian. and a faithful Charmidean. Although interested in all his work. French claims the major part of his time. His memory is remark- Abel.

The important event occurred on February 17. 1S8S. and she was so delighted with her surroundings that she at once decides! to stay. As a result. Dora's early years were profitably spent in the Collegevillc High School, from which place she was graduated in 1904- Desirous of higher education, she entered Vrsinus Academy in the a llowing fall. In September of 1905 she honored the Class o: 1909 by enrolling as one of its members, and she has remained an enthusiastic supporter of the Brown and White to the present time. Dora, or Dod as she is familiarly known by her many friends, is a jolly, good-natured, sunshiny girl, making friends with all she meets. She never worries, always keeping on the sunny side of life. As a member of the Modern Language Group, her especial delight is French. She stands among the highest in her class, having attained t: over six feet. She is a staunch Zwinglian. always doing her duty with credit. Dod has gained great social prestige, not only at college and in her own town, but even in neighboring towns, especially Limerick. As she is very shy and guarded in speaking of her gentlemen friends. only a few of her most intimate companions know the deep significance of the many letters bearing the above tx sl-mark which she receives. Although “Dora” is a student in every sense, she is. nevertheless, wide awake to the importance of a study f Domestic Science. One of her greatest delights is to keep house(? . She is a lover of spirt, especially rowing ami skating, but she would not think of indulging in either, not even to take a moonlight stroll. until her lessons arc well accomplished.

Jack, for so he was endearingly called, was first sent to Shady Side Academy, where he spent three years in a study of the horn books. He then wen: to Andover Academy for one term and completed the year at Chestnut Hill Academy. In the fall of iqo4 Jack entered the fourth-year class at Ursinus Academy. with more worldly than book knowledge to his credit. Although the German Prof, told him that he Tink -ered too much of his time away, he came through, the year with flying colors. In the spring of IQ05 he made the 'Varsity baseball team and had a good record, despite the fly he muffed in the Penn game. When Jack returned the next fall lie entered the Class of 1909. and during the first few weeks was very careful not to get on the grass, lest his fellow-classmates might be unable to distinguish him-from the verdant lawn It was during the latter part of his Freshman year that Jack took a Rice. not intellectually, but socially. But just as all things that rise must fall, so it was with Jack, for she left school and he couldn't Rice” anymore. During his Sophomore year, when not busy Tink -ering or doing something else, he busied himself with his studies. He preserved his characteristic digni; y. and was duly elected a member of the Gharmidean Club.

Xo better example of this can lie found, than the subject of this sketch. When we learn that Allan was reared in the industrious town of Slatington it is not difficult for us to understand the disposition of this student. It was in the public schools of his home town that he received his first educational training and became inspired with a zeal for study and a higher education. He applied himself diligently to his studies, and in the spring of 1905 he was graduated from tlm Slatington High School. His father was well pleased with the manner ::i which his son acquitted himself while pursuing his studies in the High School, and decided to send him to Ursinus for a session in the Summer School. This was u new and strange adventure for Allan Perhaj s you may inquire how he enjoyed it We are glad to sav that he enjoyed it and always-delighis in talking with Zeke about the good times he had that summer. Having completed his work at Summer School, he was enabled to enroll as a Freshman the following fall. ‘'Pete,” as he has been called since, has taken an active part in college work As an athlete he has gained a reputation, and several of the third-floor inmates can testify to his strength and ability. As a baseball player he demands distinction? For two years he lias played on the scrub team and was an important factor in all of its victories. His ability has been recognized, and he was chosen to lead the scrub team to victory in the season of 1908. In social circles “ Pete lias not played an important role. When a youth he always held aloof from the fair sex. During his High School course he actually ran away from the class meetings because a certain member of the class took an interest in him. We are glad to say that through his associations at Ursinus he is gradually overcoming his shyness, and has spent several evenings at Norristown. Allan is a diligent student and is very fond of his studies. He came here to study, and Itclicves in making good use of his time ami places study liefore pleasure. He stands well in his classes, and we can only predict a bright and prosj erous future for him. 55 feara f-Habcl Spangler ON Iunc 15. 18S8. the quiet little village of Collegevillc was aroused from its lelhargy by the appearance of one who has ever since liven a source of marvel to the people This personage was mme othe: than Sara MuIk-I Spangler, letter known among her classmates as “Pune At an early age this child showed a marked personality.

It is there that her talents as a vocalist are appreciated to the full. Through her we have great hopes of contributing to the world another Melba. Notwithstanding her views against co education, her actions deny her words, and we do not know whether her A. B. will stand for Bachelor of Arts or for A Boy. Indeed, in the past few months there have been rumors of an elopement. After graduation Sara will very likely take up domestic science and music. How long she will continue at the latter is a matter of conjecture, but in whatever she may do we can but predict for her unlxnindcil success. Mi ftouilanb iUifsiipbcr tllmst tab HERE you see the picture of the boy from Trappc. Ami what is this boy’s name? Why. Rowland Reifsnyder U instead. Umpie. as the fellows cal! him, was born at Norristown some time before the Fourth of July, i8$S. At the age of six years he entered the public school of his native city, where he was famed not only for his scholastic attainments, but also for his pugilistic ability and skill at marble shooting. But something seemed to ail the child. lie didn't grow as he should have done, ami he was cross and peevish. His parents, for a long time puzzled as to what ailed him. finally came to the conclusion that the streets were too narrow for the child's development Accordingly, in the spring of 1904 they moved to Trappc, where Umpie has since developed into the giant 1 ?! that he now is That he is now King of the Kids at Trappc is seen by the following incident One day he came here to school trying to hide a very sore hand. Jack Koons. that Democratic eyesore who secs everything but what he should see. noticed Unipie’s hand, and in his characteristic way blurted out. “Hey. Umpie! how did you hurt your hand’ To this query Umpie replied. I was irvin' to leant dem kidses in Trappc how to jump over a fence when my foot slipped and I cut my hand, sec? During his career of three years at Ursinus, Umpie has won the esteem and friendship of all who know him. Here, as in his native town, he is distinguished both for his scholarship and his athletic ability. Umpie was a member of the class baseball and foot ball teams. When a baseball was hit to the center garden, all knew that it was a sure out, and the way he played quarterback on the gridiron made the spectators hold their breath. As a member of the Historical-Political firoup. he takes a keen interest in its fundamental problems He is also taking special work in English, and there is no doubt but that he will some day affix his'authorship to some literary economic production As a member of Schaff Society he is a most sincere worker, and strives at all times to derive as much benefit as ]K ssible. He is little, but. oh. my! w €li _1fn Wismcr ON the sixth day of July. 1885, as old Sol was slowly descending in the rosy-tinted west, there was ushered into the family realms o! Christ A. Wismcr, of Skippack Township. Montgomery County. Pennsylvania, a son who was christened Eli Fry Wismcr, now better known as Boss, Rulx-. Ally or Dairy Farm. For seven years the steps of his childhood were taken under the careful and tender direction of his mother. At that age he entered the (Jratersford schools. As the years passed. Ally learned all that the pedagogues of that place could teach him. doing to the Township High School he graduated in 1001 with second honors, there being two 111 tile class. The following two years were passed by Boss in driving h:s father’s kind faced cows from the barn to the green pasture fields and fruit-laden orchards which lie along the silvery waters of the Perkiomcn. and vice If'Sil. Not wishing to pass his entire life as a “hayseed” on a dairy farm. “ Ruin. ” came to Ursinus Academy to prepare for entrance to college. In the cool September days of r )05 he was enlisted in the ranks as a Freshman. After chapel was dismissed for the First time in that eventful year, Ally's voice could l c heard above all others roaring the class yell, and in a few seconds he was holding down one Soph and assisting with two others. The same was repealed by him the following year when in two class scraps Rube” came out victorious, but was finally obliged to surrender as the Freshman ranks increased. In the halls of learning, one may well envy him his standing. He is not first, but many are below him. As yet he has not made his debut into social circles at college, but it is said that around his home Boss is a social lion. Wissy is an ardent member ami a zealous worker of SchafT Society, and is a member of the 1908 debating team. He has served one term as President of his class, lie is a gang Republican, a tedious joker, a member of the Olcc Club and of the Historical Political Group. Law is his ambition, at which profession we arc assured he will have success. 1900 (Class Poem Upon our frequent retrospections. With many pleasant recollections Of college lays so dear.

In the army were both youths and maidens, and over their heads waved a blue and white banner, bearing the well-known numerals. 1910. Upon arriving at its destination, the Class of 1910 was found to have lost •only four of its original twenty-nine but apparently none of its original spirit. With tile ease of a year's sojourn here, the Sophomore- were soon established in their quarter ready for business. This consisted in the execution o: certain parental obligations toward various pastoral |Hvimcns who arrived at intervals from the suburbs of our metropolis. These specimens were very rustic and equally unsophisticated, and were immediately taken into charge. Several nights before college opened, two of the first kindergartnersto arrive, after some gentle but unbending persuasion by t'-.cir elders, felt constrained to perform in all seriousness such youthful stums as to hay earnestly at the moon and to dig by hand for water down near the gas plant. The da) upon which school ojtcned came the first real insurrection against authority. After chapel, the Freshmen gathered upon the campus in a very moist rain and began to exercise vocally. They had scarcely started when they were set upon, and after a strenuous struggle they were found to he sat upon as well. In a few days there appeared round the college a number of beautiful green proclamations setting forth in firm hut kindly words the duties of Freshmen toward their fellow-men in general, and toward the Class of 1910 in particular. ICarly on the morning that these documents appeared, the Sophs paid a visit to every l ie-liman, and by threats of a day spent in durance vile, received their promises t view and admire the 1 rosters from a respectable distance, but to touch them not, except with awe. l)ut even before breakfast, the night’s toil of the Sophomores had Ir-cm undone. The artistic eye of that indefinite lrody. the college authorities, was shocked, and all the posters were taken down except one. which adhered affectionately to the dining-ioom ceiling, where it matched excellently with the wall paper and with certain spot upon the meat. h was not so easy with the Freshman girl-. Two of them refused to leave the posters untouched, and it was only after a plucky struggle with three 1910 co-eds on the jrorch of the I’rc-ident's house that they were calmed and induced to return to Olevian. Of all the victories, however, the most decisive one was the interclass football team. Our team of the year before was weakened by the loss of two good men. and 1911 felt secure in their strength. The prospects for the blue and white seemed to poor, and Ix-tting among the East Wing preacher:- was all on the Freshmen. Hut in the game the spirit of 1910 won again. The boys played a steady, consistent game, and won. 17-5. A few days later the Freshmen appeared In-decked with purple and white ribbon, contrary to the mandates of the Sophs. A terrific struggle followed, and in spite of some uppcrclass interference, the innocents emerged to a man minus their cherished colors. Of all the events of the year, we must mention the Freshman banquet. This was their only victory of the year, and it would Ik- a morally war|K d nature that would begrudge them such a well-earned pleasure. The date was once discovered and the President captured, but the Freshmen succeeded in jxrstponing the banquet. Finally, the following Sunday night, when most of our vigilance committee was at church, they stole away to Pott Stow n. Here they remained in deepest seclusion until Monday afternoon, w lu-n they feasted to their heart’s content. The Class of 1910 knows the inexpressible pleasures of a banquet, and has naught but congratulations for those who strove so hard to reach success. This year is the last that we can spend a-- underclassmen, and as we enter our junior year it is natural t look back on our career at college. It has been a career full of honor and glory for the class, full of achievements and victories, and with the same spirit we shall conquer all obstacles in the two ensuing years as we have those in the two years past By Viriuk and I.aiiok w Z jt Class of 1010 ELIZABETH H.

Septemlx.T iS, 1907. when li-simis threw open its doors for the ensuing term, there entered I through them hut fourteen Freshmen, to which number two have since been added and from which one has already departed. Of the total nuiultcr. four were of the fairer ones, and it must Ik- said that four more loyal young ladie- never graced an I ’rsinus class. Although the class is small in number, it is jsowcrtul in everything it undertakes. This i-. shown by the fact that one-fourth of the boys played on the ’varsity football team; also by the way in which all the boys fought in the class frays, and by slipping away for our banquet. On the above-mentioned Wednesday morning, when the small ha ml of Freshmen, ten in number, stood upon the campus in the rain and in mud ankle deep, they looked but a handful as compared with the Sophs. But as their yell. Booma-lacka. booma-lacka. Six. sax. seven! Ursinus, Ursinns. 191 1! 191 1 ! lyi 1 ! reverberated over the campus it proclaimed that they were tilled with the “Door die spirit. It was only by mere advantage of numbers that the Sophomores downed them, it was early one morning a week or two later that the Freshmen were awakened by the Sophs, who broke into the former’s rooms and bound them so that they could not tear down the posters which 1010 had put up that night. This seemed just a trifle babyish. csjK-vially ,-incc they bad waited so long that the Freshmen thought they were not going to put them up. It appeared as if they were afraid of the little Freshman class. The next imjjortani event was the color tight, introduced by u for the tir-t time at I'rsinus. and it was only after an I tour of hard scrapping that the Sophs succeeded in removing the colors from the coats of the Freshmen. Saturday. Xovemhei 23. was the day of the annual interclass football game. The Freshmen bail but twelve men from which to choose, but they developed a team that fought hard and made the cx|iericiiccd Sophs hustle to defeat them. The game was not decided until the last few minutes of play, when the Sophs scored on 1 forward pass, making the score 17 5. The greatest joy of all to the Freshmen was when they succeeded 111 slipping away for their banquet. This of all tilings the Sophomores were not going to allow. They had their own way until one Sunday night all the Freshmen succeeded in escaping; and it i- said a more sorrowful bunch of fellows than the Sophs was never seen around the college on that memor able day when the Class of 1911 was enjoying it- banquet in a better place. n 1911 Class Roll EMMA IKGINIA ALBRIGHT ................................................................................

Although a call had been sent out for candidates to report a week before the opening of college, only lonr or five men reported for preliminary practice. During the first ten days of practice the number of candidates varied from nine to fifteen. Of last year's team. Captain I lain, Abel, Quay. Keyser, isenberg and Hoover reported. Of last year's scrub team. Knaner. Miller, Davis, Eoglcman. Kntsen and Maeder joined the squad. Then there was Snyder, of the '05 team, and the new men. Itvlmey. lay, (ierges. limiting, llrown and Glaser. The proposition that confronted the coach. Harry Watson. 05. of Williams, was indeed a hard 011c. as Cook, last year’s centre. Ellis, Heller and Alspach. who made up the right side of the line, had graduated. Roth, last year's fullback, did not return, and Kerschner. a halfback, was compelled to give up playing on account of an injury received during the season of 1906 The W'illiatnson game had to he canceled, as we practically had no team. The Lafayette game was played with no previous scrimmage, but the heavy Easton hunch was held to 21 points in the first half and no score in the second half. The appearance of onartn back Lai si the following week put new life into the team. Lebanon Valley was defeated by a g.«xl score. Dickinson, although considerably heavier than our team, was outplayed and trounced with the splendid score of too. marking the first defeat of Dickinson in football by Crsinus since 1902. 1 i aver ford seemed especially well prepated. and we lost -0. A crippled team and a wet field, rendering our open style of play impossible, were factors which enabled Muhlenberg to defeat us 11 5. gainst Gettysburg's heavy team we had to play under decided disadvantages, and we lost- 12-0. Competent work by the officials would have lessened this score. In our last game Lehigh ran up the highest score of the season against us—27-0. Captain Haiti proved to be a good leader. His work this year stamps Jiim as one of the best back field men Crsinus ever had. Captain Haiti made the team as halfback in his ITcslnnan year, and has held that position ever since. His graduation will leave a big hole to be filled next year. Paist. '08. handled the team in his efficient manner, and his place will also be hard to fill. Snyder. 'oS, was able t « play only halt the season, am' Miller, '09. who took his place, got experience which will make him a valuable man next year. Abel. '09. player! his usually steady game at left end. Quay's strong point was his punting. Isenberg played up to last year's form, while of the new men. Knaner, ( ierges and Gay did excellent work. Other promising men are Moser. Maeder, Itrclim. Davis. Glaser and Itehney. The last one named deserves more than passing mention He weighs only 120 pounds, but in the few games in which he played he showed that lie has all the marks of a comer. and will surely be heard from next year. When everything is taken into consideration, the season of 1907 can be looked upon as a successful one. The team practically had to be selected from a total of seventeen men. Scrimmage at Crsinus was unknown, as there were never enough men on the field to form a scrub team Yet with these disadvantages only one team. Lehigh, was able to score in both halves of a game against us. That the team hail such success we feel is due to the untiring efforts and perseverance of the coach. Mr Watson, and next year, given the proper support and enough candidates for at least two teams. I'rsinus will once more undoubtedly come to the front in the football world. 13 inter Class Jfootball (Same December S. 1906 1909- MILLER ......... XVISMER ........ KOOKS .......... LONG ...........

This i- worth more than victory. The schedule comprised sixteen games, two of which were canceled—Albright, on account of rain, and Lehigh, because final examinations tell on the date arranged for the game. The make-up of the schedule was much the same as in former years, with the addition of Steven- Institute. W illiamson. !•'. A. C of Steelton. and l’enn. Of the fourteen games played, five were victories, including two over our old friends. Dickinson: one w ith Stevens resulted in a tic, and the remainder were lost to our opponents. Owing to the fact that blaster came earlier than usual, the trip through the Cumberland alley was taken the week following. We were unfortunate in selecting the weather, and three « f the games were played in snowstorms. The extreme cold and the tiresome traveling doubtless contributed to our ill-luck, but the victories at Steelton and Dickinson served in great measure to dis| cl the gloom that had gathered during the lir-t three days of the trip. W hile at Steelton the team was entertained at luncheon by the Rc K. W . I.cntz. '95. This was enjoyed by all, and especially by tlu- manager, who must keep a close watch on the expen-e account. The remaining games were played on one-day trips. The trip to Stevens Institute was new and served to break the monotony of our usual itinerary. The team was 'Handicapped In ?. lack of lottery material. I’aist was chief-of stafT, and had a good assortment of new curlers and old twisters, hut one pitcher i- not enough for a large schedule. Roth. Snyder and Kocrper gave good assistance in this department, but too frequent changes in the make-up of a team is fatal to team work and consequently to success. Behind the bat Main and Tobias did good, earnest work, but lxttli lacked that cunning which comes only with experience. The Adding positions were for the most part well taken care of. Munhali covered fir-t; Ashcnfcltcr. second: Kcrsehner. third: while Snyder did business intermittently at the old stand short stop. In the outfield. Dad Kocrjier roamed between Crunkkton and Abd. A serious drawback to putting out a skilled team early in the season i- the lack of a suitable place for indoor practice. Something should Ik? done to provide a place for the batteries to limber tip before the tir-t game is played. The absence? of a coach lias been another weakness. We have had a number of good baseball men on the team, but that harmonious working so necessary for team work has sometimes been lacking. It cannot l«- expected that the captain will be able to discharge the duties of both coach and captain at the same time. I'urthermore. a coach can do much towards eliminating the star and developing the nine. Prior to last year the managers eared for the diamond by raking and rolling the loose soil, hut most of that soil has disappeared. To expect a manager to make a tirst-class diamond out of clay and stones i- like trying to make bricks without straw. If you consider these extenuating circumstances which beset the team and note the steady improvement in the results achieved, we arc ready to accept the candid judgment of all loyal supporters of the Ursinus baseball team. I.et us no longer l x k backward, but forward, and move the same way. 125 inter (Class JSasehall (Paine M'v i4, 1907 H)OlJ Peters, s.s. . . u. 0 11. 0 0. 1 A. 1 E C Krrsciinrr. p 2 1 0 2 c Aijel. ill... 3 3 7 O c Ml'NilLi.. 2 b.. 1 0 1 O c CUSTKR. 1 f. 0 0 0 O 0 Wismkk. 3 1 1 2 1 I I Umstead, c. f 1 1 0 O c Lau, e 1 1 16 4 0 Gii.land. r.i 1 1 0 O 0 10 0 26 S 1 ‘Thomson out stepping across the plate.

FERMIER Xracb ixrbitUj of 1007 FOOTBALL and baseball have for a long time been the only branches of athletics at Ursinus that suceess-fully aroused the interest and oncouraffcd the support of the student body. So marked has been the success of both of these sports that the undergraduates and alumni as a whole have ljeen well satisfied, and in their enthusiasm all other forms of sport were sadly neglected. This was the condition of affairs when in the spring of 1907 Ursinus received an invitation to send a track team to the University of Pennsylvania relay races, at Philadelphia An acceptance of this invitation seemed ridiculous to many. and. furthermore, to organize a track or even a relay team was deemed by all impossible. When taken into consideration that we had no field adapted for such work, and that previous attempts had proved miserable failures, there was considerable ground for such protests but not dismayed, however, by past perform ances and present hitidcrances. the desire to have at least a relay team found a few willing workers, who immediately united their efforts and elected Abel. 09. as manager and captain. Abel had previous expert ence. and by untiring efforts finally succeeded m placing the matter before the Athletic Association, which in tun: gave considerable support A call for candidates was responded to rather favorably, but on account of the many disadvantages, the list of aspirants soon dwindled down to five men. namely.'Captain Alxrl, Custer. Davis. Heritage and Maeder. Having laid, out a rudely constructed cinder path, this quintette settled down to earnest work, and after about four weeks of practice went to the Relay rat es and surprised their most ardent supporters by winning first place in their class, defeating teams from Allegheny College. .Muhlenberg. Brooklyn Law. New York Law and Brooklyn Polytechnic.! 1 Institute. This tme event was all that constituted the work on the track for 1907: but with all the men returning to college next year, together with the bright prospects and services of an able coach. Ursinus hopes that, although the beginning of track athletics was meager, by the encouragement and fostering care of the student body, the track teams of Ursinus will soon reach that stage of development where they will be on a par with its football and baseball teams. l oth of which, to this date, have created enviable records among the colleges of equal classification in the East.

Watson )K a considerable period prior to the opening of college Iasi fall there was nothing hut gloom in the conversation of all Ur sinus students as tliev discussed our athletic |K ssil iiilic . but everybody fell much relieved when it was announced, that Harry T. Watson. A‘H . had been a; ]X inted Athletic Director and would assume entire control of all forms of athletics during the year. Mr. Watson is a graduate of Williams College. 05. and conies here well recommended. After graduation at Williams. Mr. Watson went to Hamilton College as coach, and he spent a ver successful year in all lines of his work. I.ast year lie was called hack t Williams, and while there he had remark - his various teams. Under his direction his Alma Mater was able to cope successfully with all the New England colleges, including Vale, Harvard and Cornell. In consideration of this. Ursimis is indeed fortunate in securing a man like Mr Watson Although he cainc to us as a sort of unknown quantity, it was not long lreforc his resource of methods and his energetic manner dissipated all clouds of dmiht that might have Uen Itovciing alniut •■ur star of hope. The same earnestness and determination which characterized the coach were inspired in all the men. and unprecedented dash and spirit was the resultant Mr Watson's coaching the baseball team will In a new departure in athletics at Ursimis. as not for many years has the baseball team had the advantage of first-class coaching, and it is safe to expect great things on the diamond. For a long time the followers of athletics longed to have a strong man in such a position, and now that the wish is granted, there is every hoj e that llrsinus will witness a period of reconstruction in all 1 ranches of athletics.

The glimmer of candles lends enchantment to the scene, and in a pair of minutes the sanctum sanctorum is transformed into a beehive.

The occasion is closed with two volleys of the Long Meter and the Electric Whistle In the cool gray dawn of the morning after, the college domestics are seen indulging in a nut-gathering party at one dollar and fifty cents an hour. The matin chapel-goers come early to get good seats, and standing room is at a discount. A severe rebuke is handed out to those whose moral sense had so degenerated. and an appeal is made to the stronger to furnish interference for the weaker brothers. hi XoVKMIlHR 6th. I907. 7 V. M. Tin- night is unusually calm, and the peaceful ether is undisturbed by the deep, sonorous harmony of masculine voices raised in song. At first the sound is indistinct and uncertain, but under the joint leaders Mertz and Haiti, the warblers gathered courage and gleefully chortled as they wound about the outwardly rough hut inwardly modem and commodious dormitories in a shadowy procession. chanting the praises of the culinary lord to whom all are vassals and to whom we may attribute the aquatic milk and the antediluvian eggs with which the training table is served. Ixiudcr and louder swells the chorus, mingled with strong invective. It echoed through the vaulted heavens: it reached the auditory organs of His Most Corpulent Majesty as he sat ensconced in his Temple of Graft; it made the stars to tremble; it penetrated to those subterranean depths where the obese wizard con cocts, from the delicacies of the land, those Satanic com-pounds known to the world as mock turtle soup and mackerel tails. With a last grand amen the celestial choir loses the chord, and disbands amidst showers from al ove and congratulations and approbation from all sides. Weak and weary they wended their wobbly way toward their vacant velvety couches. But their work had been done, for k ! the next morning there appeared in the stead of our enamored mackerel, those salty, savory slices of burnt, begrimed bacon, and at dinner there appeared in appalling abundance those delectable, delicious chunks of dough and crust, heated to 150°, known as cinnamon buns. The transformation into the new Ursinus is amazingly rapid and thorough. I N'ovkmbkr 6th, 1007 8 p. M. Ophka - • Woodland j Climber Dramatis pkksonak ...........'

All is going well, the rope straining with the pull of a hundred willing hands, the ringing of the double-bitted axes, when of a sudden there is a union of the forces of law. and the sturdy woodsmen stand with bowed heads while the constabulary, accustomed to such hardened cases, make an impassionatc apjieal to the better nature of the men.

RED. old gold and black are the colors that have made Ursinus famous—hence sanctify them. Desecrate them not by bedecking your insignificant persons either with these colors or any other diamond dye effect. Refrain from carrying a cane or wearing a derby, and thereby spare us the mortification of separating you from these, childish fancies.

Intoxicating drinks are not good for the brain: therefore refrain from using them. CUTTING the campus is positively prohibited. Because a Fresh, on a nice green campus, loses his individuality.

You may lie a regular tough at home—carry matches, drink milk and all that but you're at Ursinus now. so sit up and take notice. AIMM.ES grow on the west campus. Lay your supply in early and avoid the rush. An apple in your room is worth two on the tree. In order to protect the newly varnished doors it would be best to leave them open after dark. MAKE an earnest effort to be decorous in your deportment at all times. Some are bom fresh, some achieve freshness, and all these have hard luck thrust upon them.

Sunday afternoon in the month of February, as the wind was howling fiercely and whistling through the tall trees that stand close by my windows, feeling that much study is a weariness of the flesh, I reclined oil my couch, and was soon at rest in the arms of Morpheus While I was in this state of ease, there appeared unto me a vision. I dreamed that I had graduated from Ursinus twenty years ago, and was now busily engaged in the activities of life, taking time occasionally to think of my Alma Mater. While my mind was in this instance directed to lur. I beheld many changes which had been effected since the time when 1 used to go diagonally across the campus to knock at the rations that were handed out to us. or t � see how much noise I could make in the halls during recitation Imurs. or to laugh at the Dean's request t«� look pleasantly at the glass doors of the chapel as well as to Ik- reverent while engaged m the matin worship These changes presented themselves to me in my vision: The authorities w’ho have the power to give demerit exercise this prerogative sufficiently to enforce it, and demerits once given are never recalled. Demerits are no longer handed out recklessly by the librarian, and a strict record oi chapel attendance is kept by each group adviser. The church slip system, which was a mere form in my day, is now enforced to the letter. When a student is so tin fortunate as to receive forty-five demerits lie is honorably discharged, and no member of the student liody is permitted to attend classes in January before he is registered. The chapel now contain-- a new piano, and unrestricted access is given to all those w ishing to vise ;t for practice. The large cracks in the plaster are not t In seen, and never more are the morning worshipers disturbed by the continual creaking and slamming of the large window in the rear of the building. The professors grade the marks u| jii what the student knows, not upon the profound look which many carry with dignity to the class room. Mot a single instance can Ik cited where the question of sex plays such a great part in the awarding of marks as it did in the days of yore. In fact, the only marks given after examination are passed and not passed. while one’s class -lauding i- indicated by the distinctions Summa Cum Laudc. Magna Cum l.aude. and Cum Lattdc. All members of the faculty have the athletics of the college at heart, and are at all times w illing to lend encouragement to the V. M. C. A. and all kindred organizations. The field house fund, which was begun in nt days at college, has been converted into a large gymnasium, and the baseball men now practice in the large cage instead of in the basement of Horn berger Hall. The college students are no longer under prep restrictions, and the watchman on the second floor of the dog-house has been excused from night duty. No person conceives of the library as a matrimonial agency, but enters it for the sole purpose of securing information, and anyone wishing to do research or reference work, especially in the history alcove, is not compelled to leave through the jealous glances from those brought together by the workings of Cupid. All in all. it was a wondrous, vision of the new Ursinus as I had idealized it in mv college days. 167 MARCH ' 907 1 The librarian becomes indignant and refuses to open the library.
