TUI? 1 Q 1 n 1 1111 1711! VOLUME ONE PUBLISHED BY THE JUNIOR CLASS Utah Agricultural College LOGAN, UTAH 1909 HON. J EH KM I AH W. SANBORN DEDICA TION fyo •Pej'ts.r UBBAIU) has said that “a hundred point man is one who is true to every trust, who keeps his word, who is loyal to the firm that employs him, who does not listen for insults nor look for slights, who carries a civil tongue in his head, who is polite to strangers without being ‘fresh who is considerate towards servants, who is moderate in his eating and drinking, who is willing to learn, who is cautious and yet courageous.” Hundred-point men may vary much in ability, but this is always true: they are safe men to deal with, whether drivers of drays, motermen, clerks, cashiers, engineers or presidents of colleges. The Class of Nineteen Hundred Ten has dedicated the Buzzer to one whom we consider a hundred-point man. The Honorable Jeremiah Wilson Sanborn of New Hamphire, came to the Agricultural College November 16th, 1889, as Director of the Experiment Station, and became President of the Faculty May 17th, 1890. During his career at this college, he steadily pushed forward, developing and expanding the work of the different departments, always being successful in whatever he undertook. Success is in the blood. There are men whom nothing can keep down. They march forward in a jaunty manner and take, seemingly by divine right, the best of everything that the earth affords. Their success, however, is attained neither by scheming, feigning nor adapting their sails to catch the breeze of popular iavor. Thoroughly alive to all good, they just appropriate it. when it comes near, and move steadily on. It has been said that “they have achieved success who have lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who have gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who have filled their niche and accomplished their tasks; who have left the world better than they found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who have never lacked appreciation of Earth’s beauty nor failed to express it; who have always looked for the best in others and given the the best they have; whose life has been an inspiration; whose money a benediction. Measured by this standard Sanborn’s life has been a successful one. His influence has been felt in all departments of the institution and always for good. Though many years have passed since his interests were entirely centered here, and but few remain in the College who worked with him, he is gratefully remembered by all as the one who first influenced the students of the Agricultural College of Utah to think nobly and independently keeping ever in view the better positions in life. 5 apiv- mm BUZZER STAFF ■mm ■mm Editor, ().

Aldous HUMOROUS Krastus Peterson GREETINGS The Junior Class of 1909 | resents, to ail who arc interested, the Buzzer, tlie first Year-Book of the Agricultural College of I’tah. The light rainbow side of life is evanescent. Time bedims the many 'experiences that make up that delightful something named “college atmosphere ’ The attempt,therefore, has been made to make the Buzzer a College record, to which the students of nineteen hundred nine may turn, when reminiscent, and enjoy the events which made school days the happiest in life: the sweet innocence of the freshman, the careless swagger of the sophomore and the deep importance of the senior. We enter college, however, to learn how to do things. This accounts for the prominence given to the vvork-a-clay side of the Buzzer. We have been eager to show the real work done here, as a whole, in a way that will be pleasing and instructive to the student body and the friends of the College. Have we succeeded? In answering this question, we know the reader will remember that: “Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, Thinks what ne’er was, nor is, nor e'er shall be.” The literature of the volume, however, should be fresh and sweet, for the whole attempt is an innovation, and as such, the Buzzer will doubtless make a strong appeal. Finally, we wish to thank all persons who have, in any way, helped to make this book a worthy representative of the Agricultural College of Utah. COLLEGE HISTOR Y . A. H. LUND, a thoughtful, far-sighted man of keen observation, anticipating the needs of our future great commonwealth, and guided by the example of many of the other states, prepared the bill establishing the Agricultural College of Utah and watched it carefully until it passed Territorial Legislation March 8th, 1888. Governor Caleb W. West, W. C. Hall, J. T. Hammond, J. H. Wilcox, A. O. Smoot, Jr. and Jesse V. Fox, Jr., who were appointed as the board of Trustees, met at Logan June29th and organized by electing Governor West, Pres.; J. T. Mammon Supt.jJ. T. Caine, Jr. Sec.; and H. E. Hatch, Treas. After visiting prospective sites for the College, one on Providence bench and two on Logan bench, the Trustees chose and formally accepted in May 1889, the present location proffered by Cache County and Logan City. A contract was let for a 820,350 building which was to l e completed in November. Prof. Jeremiah Wilson Sanborn, of New Hampshire, who was appointed Director of the Experiment Station, arrived in Logan January 22nd, 1890. Through his efforts the Government made arrangements for an annual appropriation of $15,000 for the Experiment Station. W. P. Cutler of Cornell, E. S. Richardson and A. A. Mills of the Kansas Agricultural College, came to the College to act as chemist, horticulturist and superintendent of farm and experimental work. Professor Sanborn was elected President of the Faculty and appointed Professor of Agriculture. To him was left the matter of employing instructors, preparing a course of study, buying apparatus and supplies, getting up catalogues and advertising the institution. The Act of Establishment states that the leading object of the College 8 HON. A. H. LUND shall be to teach such branches of learning as are related to Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, and such other scientific and classical studies as shall promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes. “The course of instruction shall embrace the English language and literature, mathematics, civil engineering, agricultural chemistry, animal and vegetable anatomy and physiology, the veterinary art, entomology, geology and such other natural sciences as may be prescribed, technology, political, rural and household economy, horticulture, moral philosophy, history, book-keeping, and especially the application of science and the mechanical arts to practical agriculture in the field.” In arranging for the work of the College President Sanborn recommended that there be a preparatory year, and four-year courses in Agriculture, Domestic Economy, Mechanic Arts and English. The Board decided that daily chapel exercises should be held, that there should be no tuition fee, but that students should pay an entrance fee of five dollars per year, or three dollars per term. The general plan of the experimental and school work was thought out and developed during the administration of President Sanborn. 9 MON. D. McCORXICK In 1894 additional apparatus was provided; a forging house and a veterinary laboratory were constructed. In 1896 the Legislature passed a law providing an annual appropriation to the College of 815.00 for the purpose of holding farmers’ institutes in the different counties of the State. During this year, part of the Mechanic Arts building was completed, and the forge shops were removed from the main building. In 1897 the Legislature made an appropriation for the maintenance of a Manual Training School, and for the Mechanic Arts Building, providing roomsfor the chemical laboratories, and the carpentry and machine shops. Manual Training courses were established in Mechanic Arts and Domestic Arts. In 1899 a green-house was constructed and equipped. In 1900 a department of art was established, additional class-rooms were furnished, and the several departments throughout the institution were more thoroughly organized. The legislature of 1901 appropriated $108,200 for general maintain-enee and various improvements, including the completion of the front of the main building, the construction of model farm buildings and vegetation house, and of additional land for work in irrigation investigations. 10 PRES. L. N. STOUT. In March 1901, the sub-freshman courses and the elementary courses in Agriculture and Commerce were abolished, and regular three-year courses of high-school grade were established in Agriculture, Domestic Science, and Commerce, each leading to a certificate of graduation. The Manual Training course in Mechanic Arts was increased from three to four years, and the Manual Training course in Domestic Arts was increased from two to three years. An additional year’s work was prescribed for admission to the baccalaureate courses, thereby raising the standard of the regular college work one year. The Agricultural College of Utah aims, in accordance with the spirit of the laws under which it is organized, to provide a liberal, thorough and practical education. All the practical work on the farm, in the orchards, vineyards, kitchen, sewing rooms, different scientific laboratories, and carpenter, forge and machine shops, is done in strict accordance with scientific principles. In addition to the practical work of different courses, students are thoroughly trained in the related subjects of science; and in mathematics, history, English and modern languages. The object of the school is to inculcate habits of industry and thrift, of accuracy and reliability, and to foster all that makes for right living and good citizenship. 11 PRES. JOHN A. WIDTSOE PRESIDENT WIDTSOE THE Island of Froien, one of the outermost islands on the coast of Norway, there lived many years ago a child, Anna Gaarden, whose forefathers for many generations had been the King’s pilots of the rough uncertain coast thereabout. Anna was a strongly romantic, intellectual girl and it is small wonder that her school teacher who came to the Island school to begin his profession, fell in love with her and in time won her for his wife. John Andreas Widtsoe. the elder, was descended for generations through a line of teachers and professional men. For many years he wielded a powerful influence upon the communities in which he lived Into this family, on January 31, 1872, was born John A. Widtsoe, Jr. By temperament he was artistic and, breathing as he did the myth-laden air of the Northland, he passed an ideal childhood. Six years after John’s birth, Osborne J. P, was born to the family. Two months later the father was taken with a sudden illness and died leaving a widow, disconsolate, but fired with one great ambition: to do her part toward making useful men of her two boys. Then began the hardships that seem to be the necessary accompaniment of all men who accomplish any thing worthy in life. Of course, John was to have a first-class education which should fit him to be a minister or school teacher, as his fathers had been for so many generations. His ambitious mother early taught him to read and write (which is the guarded privilege of all good Norwegian mothers), but he was not sent to school until he was nine years of age. About this time, the mother became interested in the strange religion called Mormonism and became a convert thereto. When the subject of this sketch was nearly twelve years of age: the mother with her two sons emigrated to America, arriving in Logan November 15. 1885. This move was made at an uncounted sacrifice. The pension which had been received since the father’s death was lost; as u'as also the chance to give the sons a good education at the expense of the country,—a custom extended toward the widows and children of deceased teachers of a certain grade and length of service. The little family found themselves deprived of means, and of influence, in a strange land.usingan unknown language, and forced to fight for every inch of progress made. The boy, John, was thus early made to feel the responsibility and seriousness of life, fie must work, work, if he would accomplish his aim in life. There was to be no loafing or profitless fun for him. He worked at many and divers “jobs” during those early years; his eager ambition preventing his being satisfied with any work in which his mind was not being trained as well as his t ody. He tried printing, delivered milk for neighbors, worked at mills and in time arose to the dignity of being a clerk in the old U O.”—the big store of Logan for many years. His quick mind and active body bespoke for him advancement and his employers made him flattering offers of promotions. During all these years the desire to go to school became more and more intense. A few broken years of study were obtained in the public schools, and between these periods private evening lessons were secured. Through the untiring exertions of his mother and his own thrift, the way was opened for him to achieve his great desire. Thus in the year 1889 he entered the Normal course of the Brigham Young College, from which he graduated in 1891. Then came the crisis of his life. Should he procure a position of teacher in a country school and begin earning money? Or should he again enter the field of business—for he had some flattering offers- and devote his life to gathering money ? This choice must lx? made by most young men sometime in their lives. In the year 1891 Dr. J. M. Tanner, who was then President of the B. Y. College, was preparing to enter Harvard to finish his law course. With far seeing wisdom he urged some of his most promising pupils to go with him and prepare themselves for lives of usefulness in the schools of their beloved State. Among the number was John A. Widtsoe. This would be the nilfillment of one of his wildest dreams; but how was it to be done? He had no father to give or lend the money; no brother to sign a note; no security whatever, except his good name. However, his mother consented to have her tiny home mortgaged; and there were 13 a few good friends who were willing to sign notes for him without any security. Thus tne way was opened. In 1891. when but nineteen years of age. Mr. Widtsoe entered the Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard University, making chemistry his major study. The course leading to the B. A. degree requires four years of study ; but Mr. Widtsoe, through concentrated effort and the use of his summers, completed it in three years. During the last two years of his course, he won University scholarships which carried a monetary value of SI 50.00 a year. In 1894 he took his bachelor’s degree, sumrna cum laude.and on a special examination took the highest honors in chemistry. His graduation thesis was published in the American Chemical Journal. During his Harvard days Mr. Widtsoe took an active part in various student activities, and gathered, as far as was possible, information outside of his chosen specialty. During his senior year he was president of the Boylston Chemical Club, the chemical society of Harvard of that day. Throughout his college career he was a frequent contributor of stories and verse to the Harvard Advocate, the literary publication of the student body. In fact, a western sketch by Mr. Widtsoe was one of the two chosen by a Boston magazine to illustrate the literary achievements of the class of ’94. He was twice offered membership in leading Greek letter societies, but refused the honor, as he has never been in active sympathy with secret organizations. On his return to Utah in the summer of 1894. he was made Professor of Chemistry at the U. A. C. and chief chemist of the Experiment Station. Here he applied himself to the study of the needs and possibilities of the State agriculturally, and spent four years of constant concentrated work upon the actual problems of agricultural work in Utah. During this period his chief scientific contributions were those relating to the chemical development of lucerne and to the agricultural soils of the state. Five bulletins published during this time form a partial record of the work accomplished. In 1898 he made plans to go to Germany for extended study. He applied to Harvard for a traveling Fellowship; and, because of his splendid record made while a student, he obtained a Parker Fellowship, which carried $700.00 a year, with the opportunity of travel and study abroad He held this for two years. On June 1st of that year—1898—he married Miss Leah E. Dunford of Salt Lake City, who accompanied him during his two years' trip abroad. In the fall of 1898 he entered the Georg Augustus University of Goettingen, Germany, to study agricultural and plant physiological chemistry underGeheim-rath B. Tollens—one of the greatest living physiological chemists. He was successful in working out a method for detecting and estimating a series of plant constituents, hitherto poorly known. This work formed the basis for his doctor’s thesis, which was later published by the German Chemical Society. On November 20, 1899, he received the A. M. and Ph. D. degrees from the University of Goettingen. During the second year of his study abroad he pursued short courses of study at the University of Berlin, the Polytechnicum of Zurich, Switzerland, under the famous Dr. Schulze. Some research work was also done in London. Side trips were taken to various interesting European points. Upon returning to Utah in 1900, he was made Director of the Experiment Station which position he held with great credit until 1905. During his term of office, the work of the Station was systematized and made to conform to the special needs of the State. The reclamation of the State was emphasized especially in two directions; namely, bv a study oi the best use of irrigated water, and the methods of farming without irrigation. So valuable did this work appear to the people, that it was under Dr. Widtsoe’s administration that the State began to make the grants for experimental purposes, which have helped to make Utah's Experiment Station one of the most famous in the West. A number of published bulletins and reports show some of Dr Widtsoe’s activity at this time. In 1905 he was called to Provo to establish the Agricultural work at the Brigham Young University. Here he spent two happy years, returning to Logan in 1907 as President of the Agricultural College. Dr. Widtsoe has done much incidental work in his life. He is a member of manv scientific and other societies. He has from bovhood taken part in the activities of the church to which he belongs. He has written, almost voluminously, on a variety of popular and technical subjects. All in all, his life has been one of constant, honest, and useful concentrated activity. 14 FACULTY WILLARD SAMUEL LANGTON, B. S., Professor of Mathematics. Professor Langton, formerly of Smithfield, Utah, would be white headed if he had any hair. Of course he is married; so that may be some clue to the loss of it. We hasten to say, however, that Mrs. Langton has not pulled his hair too often, for it is not unusual to see the Professor ride gallantly by on horse-back, accompanied by some young lady equally well mounted. The rumor is that he has several belle” horses. Professor Langton is the senior professor of the U. A. C. and a man of worth. He first graduated from the Utah State Normal School. Later he received a B. S. in Biology from the Agricultural College of Utah, after which he did two years’ graduate work in the same subject. He has since been living on mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, literature and so on, to the end of the list. It is. therefore, no wonder that he often holds his students spellbound, with their eyes bulging like the compound lens of a microscope, and their mouths spread wide open to catch what misses their ears. The Agricultural College of Utah has had the masterly services of Professor Langton for twelve years. GEORGE WASHINGTON THATCHER, Professor of Music. Mr. Thatcher seems to be part nightingale and part mocking-bird. 11 is voice has a range impossible to measure on one scale, and, which once heard, is never forgotten. His specialty is music,—vocal, string, and wind. His past service extends over a range as wide as his vocal scale is high, having been an actual teacher since 1897. The cello is his favorite noise producer. His official duties are: 1st. Professor of Music, A C. U 2nd. Choir leader and time beater. 3rd. Leader of the A. C. U. band of musicians. His power of getting music of a high grade out of students is widely recognized. When he stands before the students in chapel, waving his baton, they shout with one voice, Lead Thou me on. 1C ELMER DARWIN BALL, M. Sc. Ph. D., Director of Experiment Station—Professor of Zoology. Although Dr. Ball is characteristically busy, he has time for everything except walking His walk is described by one as “breaking into a little ‘lope’ every two or three steps.1’ In spite of this lack of spare time, however, he is always willing to help his friends. They are welcome at his office and upon, leaving, the invitation to “come back again when 1 can do more for you is always given. But probably the most noticeable characteristic of the Director is his ability to laugh. It. has been said of him that “he is the friend of the student, the adviser of the farmer, and an admirer of the man who laughs the free, joyous, ringing laugh.” This happy combination of capacity for work and ability to make friends has given Dr. Ball an opportunity to do an immense amount of good to the farmers of this State. His acquaintance among men is wide and enlarging each year. His extensive knowledge 'is increasing, and with all these factors in his favor, he should make a reputation as director unsurpassed in this State or the West. ROBERT STARR NORTHROP, B. S., Professor of Horticulture and Botany. Professor Northrop, alias Mel-lin’s, is sorry that he is not a native son of Utah. He was born in Lansing, Michigan, and decided early in life to get an education and then come west as a “booster” for Utah. He graduated from the Lansing High School in 1807, and before leaving the halls of the Michigan Agricultural College he took out his B. S. During 1001-1003, he was instructor in Horticulture and Forestry at Fargo, North Dakota. Later he served as instructor in Cornell under Professor Bailey, at the same time doing graduate work. To the joy of many of us, Professor Northrop left Cornell and in Decemtjer 1001 became Professor of Horticulture and Botany in the Agricultural College of Utah. 17 GEORGE THOMAS, A. B., A. M., Ph. D., Professor of Economics, I)r. Thomas holds an enviable position at the U. A .0. Ask some of the juniors and seniors how much his deliberated plans are regarded by the administration. Yet this recognition was not attained in a day, but is the result of arduous, well-directed labor. After receiving his A. B. at Harvard in 1896, he taught at the B. Y. C and theU.A.C. for the next four years, when he returned to his Alma Mater for an M A., going to Germany later where he received a Ph. D. Dr. Thomas now holds the Professorship of Economics at the U. A. C. and is noted for his confessions in chapel and his fairness in his classes. Being an ardent lover of debating, he has shown great interest in promoting that activity. The Champion Inter-class debaters received their first gold medals as a contribution from him, In Student Body affairs, I)r. Thomas has shown a keen interest in the welfare of the whole, personifying his teaching with deeds that will ever live. HYRUM JOHN FREDERICK, D, V. M. Professor of Veterinary Science. Hyrum John Frederick, of Providence, has always been obstinate. and, when a mere boy. insisted on l eing in the middle of the street. One day an old horse, thinking little’ Hyrum John to be a black bird, walked over him. bumping his head against the ground. This agitated him somewhat and lie has been “knifing.’ horses ever since. Spending two years at the Agricultural College of I’tali and later entering the Ames College of Iowa, he received his D. V. M. For the next three years, he propounded his doctrine in the public schools of Wyoming, afterwards spending six years in the live-stock business in the same state. Early in the morning and late at night, you can find him. either in the stock yard or in the dingv hospital, with the same smile upon his face, which he brought with him to the U. A. C. in 190S. 18 LEWIS ALFORD MERRILL, B. S„ Superintendent of Agricultural Extension Work. Lewis A. Merrill is a man of determination, industry, a n d strong character '% For these reasons. he has been very successful in his school work here, as he has since been in other lines. It is confidently expected that his labors as Superintendent of Agricultural Extension Work will lx equally fruitful. He has a wide acquaintance, and there is scarcely a man in this State so conversant with our agricultural conditions and the problems they present as he. CAPTAIN HOWARD R. PERRY, Professor of Military Science and Tactics. Captain Perry, our peacemaker, was a cadet at West Point for four years. This means that for a while he had to kneel on crossed sticks, eat soap, and do other funny ‘‘stunts,” for the edification and amusement of his betters. Graduating June 10, 1893, he was promoted to a Second Lieutenancy and was assigned to the Seventh Infantry then stationed at Fort D. A. Russell. Wyoming. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, he was made First Lieutenant and sent to Cuba, where he participated in the battle of El Caney and San Juan and in the succeeding siege operations before Santiago. After his promotion in 1901 to rank of Captain, he was sent to the Philippines where, for pasttime, he chased natives through the swamps and forests of Min-dinao. In 1906, he was appointed Professor of Military Science and Tactics at the U. A. C., whither he journeyed in great glee. 19 JAMES CHRISTIAN HOGENSON, M. S. A., Professor of Agronomy. One should not censure Professor Hogenson for once living at Cache Junction. It’s such a strange odd place, possessing a charm distinctly its own. Yet we are glad that he left there and came to the U. A. C. He did not only himself a service, but also made, room for another person to dwell in that picturesque Switzerland. Like the sturdy Swiss mountaineers. Professor Hogenson, by hard toil and stern battle with unyielding nature, developed that determination and integrity which makes the man, the one who fights his own battles. He is one of those men who has learned the courtesy of permitting others to express their opinions, and, in his class room, the recitations are skillfully conducted by stimulating the different students to express their views. I-Iis classes are places where one derives profit and pleasure. CHRISTIAN MARTIN LARSEN, B. S., A. M., Professor of English. Christian Martin Larsen. 13. S., A. M., a Scandinavian pure and simple, transplanted to Utah’s sunny clime, is, in the writer's humble opinion, much improved by the change. When he first saw the light of the day, we are informed there was much cooing among the ladies and girls, for miles around. Professor Larsen entered the U. A. C. in 1890, during President Sanborn's administration He graduated under President Tanner in 1896, remaining one year longer for English and Modern Languages. In the summer of 1901, he attended the Academic de Neu-chatel, Switzerland. From 1902 to 1907, he was an instructor in English and Modern Languages at the L I). S. U., Salt Lake City. He received his A. M. from Harvard in 1906. To converse with Professor Larsen, one would think him American born, for he uses the latest “Ilavad” slang and never wears red neckties. His thorough belief in ample consideration’’ causes him to deliberate on English VII short stories, for sixty-seven days. 20 FRANK RUSSEL ARNOLD, A. B., A. M., Professor of Modern Languages. )HN vi Frank Russel Arnold, a blacksmith by stature, entered Row-doin College and, after a course in football and letters, received his A. R. Desiring to see the outcome of a series of diabolical” plots against his secure celibacy, he remained in college until completely disgusted with feminine frivolity and artfulness. Thereupon, the married members of the faculty voted him an A. M. The longing for a help-meet, however, was too great., and in 1895 he betook himself to Europe. At Goettingen, he studied, and searched through all the land. He found the maid he wanted then begged he for her hand. Smilingly she heard him, and his heart swelled high with pride. Rut she, a Rlue Old Teuton”, refused to be his—a Yankee’s bride. Cincinnati became his home but the love wound healed so slowly that after four years he decided that a change of climate was imperative. lie came west, t hereforc, to teach languages in the University of Utah. At the end of two years, he game to Logan and to-day is the alert capable Professor of Modern Languages at the U. A. C JOHFT THOMAS CAINE, JR., B. S., Registrar, Secretary of the Faculty and Board of Trustees. Either because Professor Caine has fathered the Institution and its students ever since the foundation of t he School was laid, or because we like him pretty well, the sobriquet “Pa Caine” has been foisted upon this most genial, lovable man, who has lost some of his teeth and pretty much all of his hair in the service of the U. A. C. The supposition is that “Pa Caine” was. once upon a time, young and quite like other youths who slulT” a class now and then, but make good in the “finals.” We don’t know whether his name was on the daily “exclusion list” or not, or whether he was classed A or R on the College Roll. We know that he spent a year at Cornell University, and then returned to Utah and—got married. A few years were spent in teaching school—a few more in holding county offices—and then he came to the U. A. C . 21 JOSEPH WILLIAM JENSEN, S. B., Professor of Irrigation Engineering. Some years ago, in Newton, Utah, the Jensen home welcomed a little visitor, now Professor Jensen of the Agricultural College of Utah. When not so old as now, he is yet young, he persuaded a maiden to share his purse for life. Very likely she didn’t know him. However, he had been a student of the A. C. U., receiving his degree in civil engineering in the spring of 1 900,—a high recommendation. After graduating from the A. C., he spent a year at Harvard, at the conclusion of which he was given an S. B. in civil engineering. Returning to Utah again, he was Professor of Mathematics at the L. D. S. for two years. To us, one of his interesting positions was that of Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at the Agricultural College from 1903 to 1905. He then taught at the B. Y. C. for two years. Hence the saying, that he is an all around” man. JOHN T. CAINE, III.. B. S., M. S. A., Professor of Animal Husbandry. Some men believe in standing on their merits. Professor John T. III. says he believes in standing on his feet, and heartily affirms Solomon's maxim, With all thy getting get understanding.” It is also reported that he much admired the woman, who. one night, upon receiving a solicitous inquiry, replied, No thank you. I can walk.” Caine turned away perplexed. Ten days later, he was heard to’; soliloquize, I wonder if that young lady t hought I intended to carry her.” Me received his B. S. in 1903. and the same year entered the Iowa State Agricultural College at Ames where, in 1905, he was given an M. S. A. However, all his capers and fun are now matters of history, things of the past with the joy of recollection hanging over them. Even the winter’s romance with Babette is now surrounded with that same mellow halo of the cherished gone-by, and, as he sits in his lonely bachelor hall, he muses and dreams Of an Old Sweet-heart of Mine,” 22 EDWARD GAIGE TITUS, M. S„ Professor of Entomology. Mr-Titus, though really the! professor of entomology, is noted for so many things that this special calling is sometimes quite forgotten. Although such immense things as the college roll and the delightful work of the attendance committee has been thrust upon his submissive shoulders, his natural inclination tends rather toward smaller things— in fact, wee things, such as bugs. Professor Titus received his early education in New York, after which he attended the High School of Ottawa. Kansas. In the autumn of 1893, he registered at the Colorado Agricultural College, from which school he received his B. S. in 1899. By this time, his one consuming desire was to become a complete master 'of bugology.” Accordingly he set out upon • a three years’ conquest, battling on at Abuscutia and later at the Colorado Agricultural College, where he received his M. S. From this time, until 1907, when he accepted the position of Professor of Entomology at the U. A. C.. he was engaged in teaching his favorite subject in his Alma Mater, in occupying the position as ssistant Entomologist of Illinois, and as Special Field Agent under the U. S. Bureau of Entomology. WILLIAM PETERSON, B. S., Professor of Geology. He lingers as he sorts the few remaining papers, locks his desk and turns to glance again at the scene out-doors. Many times has he stood thus, watching the glow of the setting sun, but this evening after fourteen years in the school room, it holds a new meaning- causes a different thrill, possesses a sweet clinging beauty. As he gazes o ver the golden hue out across the valley to the.rolling green hills southward, he drinks deeply of the present charm, while fond remembrances of the past crowd round him. He smiles as thoughts of the old days cross his mental vision— the days when he played football with the B. Y. The smile changes at the remembrance of his graduation, some nine years before. Then an indefinable softness creeps into the smile which o’erspreads his face, and his eyes grow dreamy, as the world’s oldest picture comes before him. lie remembers her”, as she was on their wedding morning. With a sigh he turns, takes his hat from its peg. and walks down the resounding halls. He passes the Math. rooms where ten years ago he taught algebra, the horticultural rooms in which, after his graduation, he had held sway. The big professor pauses a long time, and then a great something swells in his throat and he, the unemotional William Peterson, Professor of Geology, always smiling and light-hearted, bows his head and goes slowly down the steep South path, his bosom heaving, his face suffused with emotion. 1 FRANKLIN LORENZO WEST, B. S., Professor of Physics. Frank L. West is a serious-minded, dignified, contemplative personage—young in years but evidently mature in wisdom. The wintar of 1904-5 was spent in Leland Stanford University, and the following year he accepted the position of Professor of Physics in the B. Y. U. of Provo. In the spring of 1906. Mr. West entered the U. of Chicago, where he remained four terms, during the last three of which he was engaged as Assistant Lecturer in Physics. He left Chicago in the fall of 1907 to accept the position of Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the U. A. C., his Alma Mater, and the following year was made Professor of Physics which position now he holds. Professor West is a gymnast enthusiast, and this, perhaps, is the reason for the violent exercise he takes twice a day when, at the sound of the bell, he rushes from his home at the bottom of the hill and, after a mad race, reaches the recitation room rosy and breathless. ROBERT STEWART, B. S., Professor of Chemistry. At a very young age, Mr. Stewart caused his parents some anxiety by his love for fire-arms. As the Indians were then peaceful, and as his tender heart would not permit him to kill small tame, he contented himself in school until he ad received his B. S. from the Utah Agricultural College in 1902. During the Spanish-Ameri-can war, however, his inward war-forces moved him violently, compelling him to enlist in the Utah Light Artillery. The Spaniards, knowing Professor Stewart was made for greater work than war, could not shoot him, so he came marching gallantly home. With the exception of one year spent in the University of Chicago, we have had the able efforts of Professor Stewart at the U. A. 0. At present, he is on leave of absence, studying at the University of Illnois, but will return to the U. A. C. in June. CLAYTON BYRON TEETZEL, LL. B., Professor of Physical Education. Mr. Teetzel, our new coach, is a graduate of the 1900 class of Ann Arbor. While there, he is said to have practiced base-ball foot-ball, basket-ball, high-ball, drill and pugilism vigorously; and, as a result, he now weighs three hundred fifty pounds by the dairy scales. After graduating, Mr. Teetzel coached the U. of M. for three summers and then accepted a position with the B. Y, U. of Provo. The excellent athletic work done by that school proves his efficiency. Last December, Mr. Teetzel came to help us. His grasp of the athletic situation was clearly shown in choosing young and promising material to whom we can safely predict physical as well as—moral—victory in the future. He now holds down the highest office in the institution—at the top of the main building. ( I 24 ISAAC BLAIR EVANS, B. A., Instructor in History. Isaac Blair Evans, of Ogden, after his public school escapades, might have gone abroad, to Yale, to the dogs, or to Harvard. He chose the last evil, and tenderly nourished it. for four years. He hoped to get through the college unseen but was caught going through and had an A. B. (Amphibian Babbler)hung round his neck. His personal characteristics are marked—usually with his initials. He parts his hair on the right side, detests button shoes, prefers hopscotch to foot-ball, always gets out of bed on the right side, and puts his collar on before his tie. Some don’t. His favorite breakfast food is Etherealine and his drink—for breakfast—Kof-fee-et. He can do the “hundred” in seventeen flat, has never had a broken bone, and never wears suspenders. As to whether he is engaged, doesn't know. Is await-ing—letter—and as David Harum says, “he will stand without hitching and can be driven by ladies. ’ AMANDA HOLMGREN, B. S., Assistant Professor of English. Miss Holmgren, “just a plain school inarm,” says her life has been, thus far, uneventful. We can hardly see why when she has attended such schools as the U. A. C., U. of Chicago, Columbia and Harvard. Of course, to some women everything is commonplace—Easter bonnets, hair puffs and long sleeves—are all treated as either necessary evils or humdrum details. We, however, believe Miss Holmgren to have a heart, for she is very considerate of the new students and takes great pleasure in viewing their rapid progress. She is one of those who, having exceptionally fine sensibilities, derives her greatest joy from “doing for others,” and this service always takes the form of quiet unobtrusive action. We can scarcely imagine her as a cold critic, but rather as one who finds so many good things in life and literature that she has no time to worry over the discords. 25 N. ALVIN, PEDERSON, B. A., Assistant Professor of English. N. Alvin Pedersen, alias “The Buzzer Critic,’' alias “Uncle Alvin,”alias dramatic“Pctc’’ has had his nose into everything connected with the Buzzer. If there is anything in it that you don't like, it is his fault for allowing it. If there is anything good about the Buzzer, all credit is due to the juniors. If you like the Buzzer tell the Juniors; if you don't, tell Mr. Pederson who has oeen its chief fault-finder. We are not interested in Mr. Pedersen’s educational history. We judge, however, from his general carriage that he has one—other evidence is a v a liable. What we do appreciate is that he is a professional beekeeper of the genus Buzzer. Future juniors will do well to get a start from him. Here’s to the Buzzer! May it always please us With its quips and quirks, . its wings and breezes! ELIZABETH CHURCH SMITH, B. L.. Librarian . Miss Elizabeth Church Smith, Bachelor of the Library, is a woman of mature years and book-judgment. If you want to know who’s who, or anything about anything, or something about somebody, ask Miss Smith. Some of the subjects upon which Miss Smith stands as an authority are the enlargement of the navy, the proportional income tax, the tax on bachelors, uniform divorce laws, and the marriage contract. She can, further more, entertain you for hours on “The Social Chat as I have heard it.” EDWARD PARLEY PULLEY, B. S., Instructor in Mechanical Engineering. “Work and the world works with you. loaf and you're left behind.” The above, we judge, is Mr Pulley’s paraphrase of the well-known maxim. One seeing him oscillate between his home and the college would not believe him possessed of a sense of humor, but rather saturated with one idea which guides and propels him relentlessly without rest or diversion. This idea is embodied in the word “work. You never can tell, however. Many of his dry laconic remarks possess an irresistible humor. Prexy Mr. Pulley, do you remember when you were a boy?” Pulley “No sir. I’ve forgotten all my past life.’ 2G ELMER GEORGE PETERSON, B. S. Assistant Professor of Zoology and Entomology. E. G. Peterson was born in Plain City, Utah, in the year in which Darwin died—evidently a providential provision of some kind. Having a natural fondness for bugs and the like, he took to Zoology and Entomology as a billy goat to a bad boy. His attack was so successful that in 1901 he received his B. S. and was made Assistant Professor in his chosen work. “And it came to pass that he did develop great skill in wielding the fearful blue pencil, insomuch that a cry of fear went up throughout the school. Thus it came to pass that his students waxed exceedingly industrious, and did burn much midnight oil. But after a time a fierce consuming joy did fill them; no longer appeared the trail of the blue pencil, for he was appeased insomuch that in the year 1908. he did journey eastward to the land of New York where he pitched his tent on the plains of Ithaca. Here he did go up to the great Temple and worship at the shrine.M For his picture we made a chase; But alas, alas, we could not get his face. SARA HUNTSMAN, Instructor in English. Wellsville with its sleepy obsolescence at the foot of the Wasatch, was the birthplace of Miss Huntsman. The town has never recovered from the state of stupefied astonishment into which it was thrown when her “bright particular star” rose on the horizon. In the fall of 1S94 she entered the U. A. C. where for three years she pursued the uneven tenor of her own sweet way, amazing the faculty by her marked ability for disregarding all rules and regulations. Carefully band-boxing a sombrero, she cast a last fond lingering look behind on the sage brush wastes and betook herself to Boston, where she entered the Emerson College of Oratory, from which she was graduated in 1901. Exchanging the sombrero for a “Boston-Bog. in which to place a hermetically sealed “Boston-Beau-Pat,” containing, it is rumored, the fragments of a broken heart, she retraced her steps westward. later accepting a position on the English faculty of her old school, the U. A. C. ERNEST HOWARD FAVOR, A. B., Assistant Professor of Horticulture. Professor Favor, of Springfield, graduated from the University of Mo. with an A. B. in 1902. In 1902-03 he was Assistant in Horticulture at his Alma Mater. In the fall of 1908, longing to see the Rocky Mountains, he came west, landing at the U. A. C. as Assistant Professor of Botany, only to stay for one semester. He will likely make his future home in the west as it has become dear to him. Professor Favor is a fine fellow and was much respected by his students. He is a man who has “worked his way. ” and who knows how to help others up the ladder. The Buzzer wishes him success wherever he goes and in whatever he does. 27 JOSHUA PERCY GODDARD, A. B., Assistant Professor of Accounting. Do you know that J. Percy was born in Kanosh ? What! Yes, it’s true, but his parents fearing that their child would be “crude and “common” if they remained in the wilds, removed to Salt Lake City. Here J. P. was educated, petted, and spoiled. lie spent three years at the L. D. S. U. Two and a half years later, after spending a summer East, we find him teaching at the L. D. S. He remained there two years and then entered the University of Utah where he stud ie d and taught. Here we may well imagine he was in his glory, for debating was in full swing. As chairman of the debating committee at the U. A. C.. he has done much towards loyalityand enthusiasm for class and inter-collegiate debates. BLANCHE COOPER, B. S., Associate Professor of Domestic Science. Miss Cooper was born in Oxford, Idaho, and at an early date, vowed not to marry until maturity. Keeping this well in mind she began her educational career, receiving her B. S. from the Agricultural College of Utah in 1901. In 1901 feeling, with Pope, that “a little learn-ning is a dangerous thing.” she attended the Teachers’ College of Columbia, receiving another B. S. in 1905. During the year of 1905-1906 Miss Cooper was instructor in Domestic Science at the University of Utah. The year 1906-07. found her assistant Professor of Domestic Science at the 13. Y. College. Coming to the time that interests us most, we find Miss Cooper Associate Professorof Domestic Science at the U. A. C. . theoretically capable of training the girls the duties of wifehood. She hopes to make her knowledge practical soon. It is already believed that Miss Cooper has broken the hearts of many young gallants during her time, for even now she trifles occasionally with the affections of the boys by saying, “I don't see why the fellows don’t ask me to go out somewhere ” CALVIN FLETCHER, B. Pd., Professor in Charge of Art. He has artistic tastes, manners, and hair. He is an artist in work, on paper, in colors, in oil, in water, and in fact. He draws objects, cartoons, pictures, friends, and his salary. Many of the cartoons for the Buzzer are not by his hand: some are. He doesn’t want you to know which are, since, owing to his size, he is susceptible to injury. He is head of the Art Department in the U. A. C. and as such has made his influence felt in every nook of the school. 28 ALMA DAVIS, Instructor in Stenography and Typewriting. Mr. Davis smacks’' of the new for this is his first year at the U. A. C. We believe, however, that Alma will always be new, always be young, always have his boy’s face. Mr. Davis is well prepared for his vocation. Not only has he graduated from the Arizona Normal school and the Phoenix Business College. but he has also made his theories practical by an active participation in the affairs of life, lie has “roughed it; for a young man, his experience is varied. Somebody has said of someone that he goes about his work like a great boy at play. That's Davis. RHODA BOWEN COOK, Assistant Professor of Domestic Arts. Mrs. Rhoda Cook was born in Providence, where she received her public school training. Later she attended the New Jersey Academy at Logan, the Oswego State Normal, and the University of Chicago. Mrs. Cook is one of Utah's most genial women, one who is loved not only by her immediate pupils, but also by the student body in general. The College has received her undivided labors for eight years, during which time she has done much for its development. HARRY PARKER, S, B., Professor of Geology and Assaying. Harry Parker, the geology man, has had a rather remarkable life, which may be divided perhaps into four important epochs: 1st. His famous football career while a student in the U. A. C. 2nd. Ilis period of serious contemplation at Harvard, for which he received as a reward an S. B. in Mining and Mineralogy with the 1904 class, , rd. His period of practical demonstration in which he proved his ability as an expert mining engineer. 4th. The period of accomplishment which commenced when he signed up as tackle with the All Stars, last fall, in their J annual game against the Aggies. Since then, he has been literally transplanted to the U. A. C., where he may be found testifying to the wonder of mother earth, or nourishing his fledgeling, the newly organized Scientific Geological Society. 29 T. E. WOODWARD, B. S., Instructor in Dairying. T. E. Woodward early formed the acquaintance of bugs and bacteria, having had a whole list of baby diseases resulting from bee stings and ant bites Being thus afflicted and abused, he forthwith began to prepare himself to execute eternal vengeance on his early enemies. T. E. entered the High School of Wichita, Kansas, but his spirit was so ambitious that he was soon packed away to the University of Mo. at Columbia. Here he delved into the mysteries of streptococcus and bacillus Coli Communis. After he had completed the regular number of subjects and late suppers, he was given a B. S. The school bade him a tearful good-bye. Being, however, of a hopeful disposition, he smiled upon his friends and departed. He was next found in Washington, 1). C.. trying to make curd out of water, but not being successful decided to “cheese it” and come to Logan. At the A. C. he was extremely happy to find a class of revengeful students anxiously waiting for a courageous leader to direct their attack against the vicious bacteria and he immediately began a systematic campaign. For results see College Bulletins. CHARLES WALTER PORTER, B. S., Instructor in Chemistry. In Porterville, Morgan Co., was born Chas. W. Porter, destined, many thought, to be one of our future educators. From infancy he desired to learn, and became a student at the Agricultural College in 1896. In June, '05, after working his way through school, he took out his B. S. Mr. Porter was an instructor in Chemistry in the U. A. C. from 1905 to 1907. He then received a leave of absence and entered the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Harvard. We need not tell of his capacity for work for all recognize him as one of the ablest students leaving the halls of the A. C. U. Past files of Student Life show his activity in debat ing and general student affairs. He was chosen President of the Alumni in 1906. It is reported that he will be unable to slip away from Harvard next June without carrying with him a M. A. JONATHAN SOCKWELL POWELL, Instructor in Art. A few years ago a lad was born in Payspn, Utah, whom we have ’earned to know as Jonathan Powell. After graduation, feeling large—in body—he attended the B. V. Academy for a short time. Adapted for football, and ambitious to become slender, he appeared ever upon the field, even though he was frequently taken for the ball. Powell attended school at the A. C. three years, later going to the Chicago Art Institute. From 1905 to 1908 he served as instructor in Art at the U. A. C., receiving a leave of absence at the end of that time to take up the study of Art in Europe. 30 JOSEPH EAMES GREAVES, M. S., Assistant Professor of Agricultural Chemistry. Joseph Eames Greaves, or Joe as he is fam' iliarly called, received his elementary schoo training in Preston In 1904. he took out a B S. at the U. A. C Mr. Greaves now became Assistant Chemist at the College, after which he entered the University of Chicago, receiving his M. S. the following year. Professor Greaves’ father was unable to keep him from the fairer sex exclusively, and he is now a married man. He has yet a good head of hair. It is sometimes the sincere conviction of his Organic Chemistry students, when their eyes begin to quiver over some of those four-page formulas, that his wife ought to pull out just a few of his locks. If she should, we venture that a formula would be clinging to the root of each hair. CHARLOTTE KYLE, B. A. M. A., Instructor in English and History. The Fates decided that Miss Kyle should devote her life to letters because of her fondness as a child for the alphabet. Thus it happened that she entered Park College, Parkville, Mo., and graduated from the Academic course. About this time we imagine she was much besieged by country rustics and town sports. She evaded them successfully, however, and completed another four-years’ course in her favorite college, receiving her B. A. We are unable to account for her remaining two years longer at the same place, doing post graduate work. Be that as it may. she received an M. A. and we venture -a proposal. The poor fellow must be lonely now for she heard the west a callin' ” and came out to Logan. Miss Kyle, like Napoleon, might be called the little corporal. She is like Napoleon, further, in that she is a conqueror. How could she help but be with her snappy eyes and genial smile ? “She smiles on all she looks at And her looks go everywhere. JOHN L. COBURN, B. S., Financial Secretary. John L. Coburn, or Jack, as some of the more officious of our number dare address this august personage, is the financial secretary of the College. Jack, after four years of hard grinding in Commerce, on the gridiron,” received his B. S. from this institution. He is an A 1 secretary were it not for the fact that recently he gets the eternal question mark mixed with his figures. 31 CHARLES P. SMITH, A. M., Assistant Professor of Zoology. The Faculty of the Agricultural College of L'tah contains representatives from various Colleges of the country. One of these is Professor Charles P. Smith. He is a first class Canadian, being born in St. Catherines, Ont., Canada. From his infancy Mr. Smith has taken delight in handling Chordates, Millipedes or Centipedes. It is reported that as a child he gave his parents much anxiety through his intimacy with the many-legged kingdom. Feeling that he was to do Utah some good, Professor Smith applied himself to technical work, receiving his B. S. from the Purdue University in 1905, and his A. M. from Stanford in 1906. Although unmarried, he is a specialist in his line of work, and we hope to be favored with his future labors in the U. A. C WILLIAM SPICKER, Instructor in Violin. Spicker is by nature a musician, with uncombed hair and mocking-bird feet. Ilis musical training extends over a number of years. In 1901-2 he studied at the American Conservatory, in Chicago, 111. and there learned to play music. Then he studied at Northwestern U n i v e r s i ty and there learned to play real Ame-rican music on the violin. In 1905, he graduated from King’s Conservatory at Lcipszic. Germany, where lie learned to ' play German music. Mr. Spicker, being a master on the violin, can execute violin music in any language or tongue. Besides beinj instructor on the violin, he is leader of the College Orchestra which produces music, as Mr. Dooley says, that you can cough but can’t whistle, and can produce by shaking a stove, and stepping on a dog’s tail at the same time.” ELEANOR HAZEL LOVE, B. S., Instructor in Domestic Science. Eleanor Hazel Love is also one of our U. A. C. I graduates, having received her B. S. in Domestic Science with the class of’05. The next two years she was assistant instructor of D. S. at the State U. and since last September has filled a similar position in our institution. Those who do not recognize her by the above, probably will by the description which follows: Eleanor Hazel Love. Profession—cook. Nationality—“Mormon. Disposition—lovable. Size—heavy-weight.

Howard Peter, best known by his football record, was born in Manti. He entered the U. A. C. in 1900, and the following four years he spent studying and working in the shops and fighting for us on the “gridiron.” He received his certificate in Manual Training in 1905, and since that time has been assistant in the carpenter shops. GERTRUDE MARIE VIBRANS, Instructor in Sewing. Gertrude Marie Vibrans, a native of Wyoming, has always been interested in Domestic Arts. Since receiving a'certificate from the Department. two years ago, she has been an instructor in sewing. Her loving kind nature has won the affection of all students directly under her charge, and we venture to say. others indirectly associated with her. AARON NEWEY, Instructor in Forging. Mr. Newey received part of his education in woodwork and forging in England, his native land, and the rest of it in the U. A. C. for which he received a certificate in 1906. Since then it has been his duty to show other boys how to make things (useful and otherwise) out of wood and iron. For this reason alone, not for any personal resemblance, he is often designat-d as the wooder man”, the iron master.” . Size—heavy-weight. In sympathy with—“Preps.” 32 JOHN. D. VAN WAGONER, President’s Private Secretary. His name was originally John Dee, but the Van Wagoner was finally added to distinguish him from Rockefeller. lie is employed by the board to add dignity to the faculty. JEAN CROOKSTON, Assistant in Sewing. While but a very small girl Miss Crookston decided to be a leader rather than a follower; and so in the year 1903, after leaving the public schools, she entered the Agricultural Colege of Utah, receiving a certificate of graduation in Domestic Arts in the spring of 1907. She then became Assistant in Sewing in the U. A. C. Miss Crookston is a great favorite and is the innocent cause of heart palpitation among the boys. Thus far she has encouraged the plea of none. It is whispered, however, that Coach Walker wanted to register for sewing. Miss Crookston suspected his motive and rated him warmly for it. as they walked leisurely down the Boulevard. SAMUEL E. CLARK, Instructor in Piano and Cornet. According to Biology, it. is necessary to give the life history ol an animal. This biography will necessarily be incomplete, for such is the life of the subject. In about 1903 Mr. Clark entered the student stage and from that time on has been developing into adulthood. I lis specialty is music, which he uses as a means of defense and offence, to attractor repel. Thus he is well equipped for the struggle of existence. His chief characteristics are cornetic, pianisic and base. His strong character has been somewhat developed by his unusual environment— the Chicago Musical College and the A. C. U. His strongest traits are due to heredity, and he follows the lines of least resistance. FRANKLIN DAVIS THATCHER, Assistant in Carpentry. Franklin Davis Thatcher received his early training in the public schools of Logan and the training school of the Brigham Young College. Later, he attended the U. A. C. where in 1908 a certificate was awarded him from the Mechanic Arts Department Since 1905 V� e has been employed as assistant in the Carpentry Department. LOUIE E. LINNARTZ, Instructor in Music. Look back over Chapel Wednesdays for the equation of Mrs. Linnartz. Can't you still hear her rich even voice in “Where is Sylvia?” or -----? We can't remember all the names of her “treats”, but we shall not soon forget the thrill that accompanies them. Mrs. Linnartz is a woman of experience. She has had four years' training in music at Har-lom, and has since taught for fourteen years. She is now the presiding genius of our mandolin and guitar club (applause) has a rythmical walk, and is widely known as a woman of “note”. WILLIAM A. FREW, Assistant in Forging. William A. Frew, our assistant blacksmith entered th- U. A C in 1904. and since thrn has served in the double capacity of star football player and expert horseshoe maker. 36 STUNG BY THE BUZZER LOGAN SCENES IN WINTER EARL BENNICn (R. E.-A.)

I SOPHOMORE CLASS SOPHOMORES ARLY in September, the group from which the chlorophyll had been extracted the previous year, gathered in the Penmanship room for a grand council of war. Some of the members engaged in protracted flights of oratory; made speeches that would cause Cicero or a Webster turn green with envy; and set forth the qualities of their candidates with the force and thunder of a Moloch. From the dust and thunder of this wordy war emerged the class organization with its splendor so befitting the fair president, who has inspired every member with the do-or-die spirit. Asa result, we have won every interclass contest, athletic or otherwise, that has so far been pulled off. Not content with remaining inert, we again met, and organized a “Kangaroo Court” to take care of such of our members as might render themselves unruly or obnoxious. Captain Conger, whose wit and legal ability is unquestionable, was installed as judge; A. K. Stratford, who obtained his legal training at a school unknown, but who has proved to be a very fair and earnest pleader, was made prosecuting attorney; and Robinson and Paddock, whose very make-ups suggest that of “cops” were elected' constables. We went through the inter-class football series without a single defeat, whipping first the “chesty” freshies, and then the combined forces of all other college classes. The next athletic contest that we entered was that of basket-ball. We went up against every team in the Institution, from the “preps” to seniors. Again the spirit of ’ 11 dominated and we “pulled down” the interclass championship of first series. Incidentally every man on our team with the exception of one, who was prevented by illness, made the first squad. Rut a greater victory awaited us. Although the ’IPs are an athletic “bunch”, we regard intellectual contests of greater importance. The fatal day for the seniors arrived, chapel hall was filled to overflowing. All waited breathlessly for the verdict “Two to one in favor of Robinson and Brown; with Robinson as star debater in the inter-class series.” One-third of the College football team, and three-fourths of the basketball team were “sophs.” We have two moml ers on the Student Life staff, two members in the cast of “An American Citizen”, four of the principals in “Babette”, the captains of the ’09 baseball and football teams, and four of the student body officers. Furthermore, we are proud to count among our number the only mrtn, who in the history of the Institution, has won four college A’s—one in each of the four main athletic sports—all in the same year. SONG We’re the “sophs” from the A. C. U. Hurrah! Hurrah! And there are few things we cannot do, Hurrah!

SOPHOMORE KANGAROO COURT PUNISHES ITS WAYWARD MEMBERS 66 FRESHMEN kN the fifteenth of last September, brown and happy, but full of ambition and determination, we met, a husky bunch of nearly one hundred. Truly we possessed much of the greenness of our April meadows and were often in the act of confusing the janitor with the Professor of English, but since they were both called “Larsen”, we could hardly be censured for this. We set out at once with mighty strides and hesitation to cover the ground of “idiocy” laid out for the special benefit of the Freshmen. It did not take long, however, for our predecessors were anxiously looking, to break the sullen darkness, and we were merged into another realm of light. It was then up to us to get busy, and we did it. ()f course, our neighbors, the Sophs, having nothing original on hand, tried the same old stunts, which they had learned from their predecessors, to make the game lively for us, and we could plainly see that it was up to us to build a boat and sail. Now came the question of organizing the class, and we decided to carry on the business at the Commercial Club. Hut “no' said the horrified “Sophs.” “If you will organize, go you to the attic or we will disturb your little prayer meeting with the horrible thunders and lightning of our presence.” It was a mighty good bluff and every man turned out with the red fluid flowing through his veins at the rate of the sweeping gale. And when those foolish Sophs beheld the terror of our wrath, lo and behold, they scattered as the leaves in October’s angry storm, and peace reigned. This is but the beginning of our public career. We were the first in the history of the school to adopt the freshman cap, and we are proud to have started the stunt, for it is a good one and will be followed hereafter. Well, the “Sophs” had been mighty wise for the space of about two months and not a squeak had been heard from them until one evidently suggested the resurrection of some long dead stunt. This they unanimously thought wise and again made themselves known with a result of several exhibitions of college spirit on Main street. We were always in the game and kept the sophs wondering “What Next.” On the eve of November 9th, after a little down town game, and the Sophs had retreated and were in peaceful slumber in their cozy beds, we gained the confidence of the night watchman who let us in the building, and shortly after midnight, over the empty seats of chapel hall waved the beautiful purple and white banner of 12. Oh! those sophs; when they beheld the dreadful deed, fire shot from their eyes and they made awful threats. And they planned all manner of plans to get that banner down. After many vain attempts to reach the rostrum and all plans were exhausted. they petitioned the president to have the banner taken down and then declared they didn’t. Well, we hope they didn’t. The freshman class ranks among the highest in furnishing material for school activities. Our basket-ball team won one of two series of class games. We were represented in the first foot-ball and first basket-ball teams. Of the six inter-collegiate debaters for the year two were selected from the freshman class. TO THE “PREPS’’ JUST OUT ALK of college spirit—it isn't in it with “prep7' spirit. We tremble to think what this institution would be without the “preplets” to remind us that “grind” and gravity alone do not make the true collegian. To lay aside for a time the weight of being a college man and “whoop it up a bit” with the youngster—well, it does one good, and even when one doesn't get into the arena with them, so to speak, it does one good to watch their frenzied antics and gay good spirits. What would our football games be without the “preps”—both as players and rooters? What an inspiring sight to the tired center or full-back to see the “preps” lined up in brimless hats of A. ('. blue, and emerald green socks, yelling their encouragement, with pennants wildly waving and peg-top trousers flapping in the canyon breeze! And what an ubiquitous biped “preppy” is—there's no escaping him. On the gridiron, the diamond, and the track, he holds his own with the college man. Tn opera and choir, who sings so wildly well as Master Prep? In dramatics “who tears a. passion to tatters”? In the debates, he doesn’t lag so far behind either as to put him to the blush. The College Roll! would it not be non est if the “Preplets” did not rally round it? Then. too. who courts the muses with such assiduity as they? Helicon is not too high a mountain for them to scale success-fully. Who is the man with the hoe on the track-eleaning-day? Why. the “ Prep” of course. 72 i Who led the refuse-raking rout on that unlucky day (April thirteenth)? Why. the “Prep” of course.

Who out-classes all classes at “queening’ ? Why. the “Prep” to be sure—and so on ad infinitum. Almost any question asked outside of “exams,” can be answered by the single word “Prep ’— So here’s to you, little “Preppy” And all you’ve ever done. You’re a steady going pusher With all your jokes and fun. So here’s to you little “Preppy”, We mean to treat you fair, For you’re a jolly sort of youngster And we’ve always found you square. 73 EXPECTATION REALIZATION ®Ijomaa 3. Eitaus In the secluded cemetery of picturesque Brigham, may be seen a beautiful monument, upon which are inscribed these words: “Erected to the Memory of THOMAS J. EVANS, by the Faculty and Students of the Agricultural College of Utah.” He died for a cause, drinking the “delight of battle”; In our hearts, he will ever live. MRS. SARAH WEBB ELMER C. JENSEN NORVILLE WILLIAMS ■ ■ LOG A N IN WI NT Kit LOGAN IN SUMMER DEPARTMENTS Ck £. }. . ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY NE of the professors of the above named subject found this in the dictionary: “He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar and their labor unto the locust,” but pshaw! the pesky bugs have paid us back. Just one thrust of the proboscis of the mosquito and we have handed down to us one of any number of most modern diseases, and one little kick of a fly gives us similar results. Now aren’t they worth studying? It doesn’t make any difference what you do to earn a living, if you don’t bathe regularly and change your clothes, the bugs 'll get you if you don’t look out. The losses due to the pests each year is estimated, far below par, at $500,000,000.00. That’s where the “bugman” gets his “rake-off.” The right treatment by the right man at the right time will make right that which we have a right to keep right. Therefore, the bug-man. The first thing is to pull the legs, wings, head, and other parts from the insect and put a tag on it no bigger than the thing itself. Then, after watching what it does, for a life-time, of the bug, judgment is rendered and sentence is passed as to whether it is a good thing to have him live or die. If you know anything at all, you can readily see it is a matter of vital importance to know just where to bite an apple and miss the worm, or how many extra seeds have to be planted for tribute to the particular worm that eats the young shoots, or to know what hay will produce a profit for you after the bug has taken his share. The great problem has been to catch those bugs which tjike too much, and there is a great demand for men trained in bug-lighting who can bring in the most scalps. The Department of Economic Entomology endeavors to give the necessary training to develop A1 bug fighters. All the necessary arms and ammunition are supplied to slay the enemies. Those that are decreed to live are brought up on scientific diet. 78 THE DEPT. OF AGRONOMY Agromony is a dirty study and one of the divisions of the School of Agriculture. And here is some more about it. The first professor to do the dirt work, or Agronomy, at the College was A. A. Mills, then Professor Luther Foster followed him around till he got the job, then Professor Merrill beat him out of it. Then Professor W. M. Jardine followed him and got the job and Professor J. C. Hogenson relieved him of the responsibility. As yet Professor Hogenson has no follower and prospects are that he will chase himself for the same position. That is how this dirt work has been conducted. In the beginning just one course was given, but so many kinds of dirt have been found that it takes eight courses to handle all of it now. The Agronomy department is located in the north wing of the building, perhaps so it could occasionally take a flight and not be held too much to the earth. The Soil Physics Laboratory can outshine anything in its class and can take first prize against anything in America. The Agricultural Museum is an offspring of the department of Agronomy. If you have seen it, you know what it contains; and if you haven’t you had better take a look. The branch of the department connected with the Experiment Station has charge of the College farms; it deals with use and abuse of the soils, introduces the best variety of crop to the best variety of soil and gets the best results. The department is of great service to the State and has placed arid farming on a firm foundation, in some cases on solid rock, and by so doing several million acres of land in the State will be claimed and re-claimed.

'HIS is not the motto of the boys in the department, for some may be married, but they are taught to respect and admire all domestic animals. Origin, history, habits and form, with care and management, make fascinating studies. Did you know that the horse has more sense than most people; that the pig is the cleanest of all domestic animals; and that the Jersey has prettier eyes than your best girl? The lT. A. C. has produced many great things, but none have brought her more renown than, Ziney, the fat calf; Young Selax, the Hereford, and Utah Diamant, the Percheron colt. This department was made famous early in its history by the work of the investigator, President J. W. Sanborn, who made the name of Utah famous in early scientific work with livestock, and who personally selected the first herds and flocks for the College. With the addition from time to time of better animals the department expects to be able to show the best live-stock in the west. ',IIIS department, together with that of Biology, was organized in 1904 by Dr. F. W. Brewer. Among the members of the first class in bacteriology in the U. A. C. were Martha Hayt, W. S. Langton, L. A. Merrill, Christian Larsen, A. N. Merrill, and Louis A. Merrill. Dr. Brewer was an eminent scholar and an authortv. on the science of bacteriology, being familiar with the methods and the results of Kock and Pasteur. He selected a fairly complete stock of apparatus and material, and set the students at making germ cultures and preparing slides. Instruction was entirely by the lecture and laboratory method. The quarters were at first in the Experiment Station Building, then in various parts of the Main Building, migrating almost annually. Dr. Brewer resigned in 1898, and since his resignation and death the fortunes and vicissitudes of the Department of Bacteriology have been varied and many. Many men in succession have had charge of the sul -ject. At one time the subject was taught by the professor of mathematics. In the main it was under the charge of the department of Biology and Zoology. Of late years the Department of Veterinary Medicine has fostered it, and at present it is given by the Department of Dairying. It has headquarters in the North Wing, easily distinguished from those of the Chemical Department by the odors and smells. The most obvious characteristic is a preposterous collection of sauce pans. The department this year has l een very popular with the Blue T’s,—here they experiment in high flavors. Under ordinary circumstances the room shows two ovens, a steam cooker and three—sometimes four—microscopes, but Dr. Frederick's vet. students and the Blue T's have rather desecrated appearances. Considerable new equipment has been added of late—in particular a coal-oil can, some more sauce pans (for the Blue T’s) and several Bet dishes. “Most everybody” takes the course—hence the crowded condition of affairs. Several discoveries have been made of late. Many new forms of bacteria were sighted by the juniors, and a senior came to the conclusion that spores are the eggs of bacteria, and that, like hens, bacteria lay much better in a warm, even temperature. 83 HORTICULTURE AND BOTANY HK thinking men of this country are beginning to realize that the Irrigated lands of the West are too valuable for growing hay and grain, and must be utilized in the production of more valuable crops. This implies that the large farms will be divided and more extensive farming practised. Now this means that the area devoted to orchard and garden is bound to be increased, especially in Utah as the climate and soil of this state are not to be excelled for the production of fruits and vegetables. During four years, great changes have taken place. Now, instead of sixty-one students, there are two hundred forty-one taking the work. No one is ashamed of the department now, it occupies some of the finest rooms in the building, right down near the main entrance. The rooms are crowded, however, but prospects for more room and better equipment next year are bright. The courses have been greatly extended, made more practical, and adapted to our western needs. Through the efforts of this department our campus will soon Ik the finest in the West; it is now the pride of Logan, and the admiration of all visitors. One of the features of the coming year will be a new orchard. It would not be fair to record this advancement without giving due credit to Professor Northrop who has been head of the Department during the period of progress. Professor Northrop took hold of the work against great odds, but the results of his efforts show that he has not struggled in vain. Hut how about the prospects for the students who are to graduate? No state in the Union offers greater opportunities. The fertile soil and clear streams of Utah cry for the trained hand and intelligent mind to direct them in the production of the finest fruits on earth. In this fair land of ours, Nature has done her part well, and it only remains for the college-trained men to put forth the intelligence necessary to secure her blessings. No one need seek for a more independent, healthful and happy life than will lx enjoyed by college men on Utah’s fruit farms. st Elocution and Public Speaking -ly-O-C-U-T-I-O-N—that is the correct spelling of the word, but the pronunciation of it varies according to the degree.of madness in the method of the “ ’cution-ist.” “Yell-o-cution” is a very common pronunciation, and “bell-o-cution” is not an uncommon one. The aim of the work in elocution at the U. A. C., however, is to keep one to the correct pronunciation of the word both in letter and in spirit; to nip all “yell-o-cution ary” and “bell-o-cutionary” aspirations in the bud, and turn the youthful aspirant who is seeking to harrow up our souls, into an intelligent effective reader, who will read you a bit of Tennyson, or Browning, or Shaw in such a way that you will be glad that the authors lived and wrote. As to the work in Public Speaking, the quill of a Burke or a Webster, alone, could hope to do justice to the subject. Oratorical flights and rhetorical rantings are tabooed. Ask the “freside” how it feels to be brought to earth from the very topmost towering height of an eloquent “periodic.” Simple direct speechmaking of the colloquial, rather than the oratorical style, is what they are all working for. And what a variety of noble purposes they have in mind. Crocker’s ambition is to be the future manager of the “Institute Car” and harangue the farmers from its platform on “The Uses and Abuses of Water in Irrigation”, and kindred subjects- liquid, solid or gaseous. Andrews hopes to startle the nation, some day, with his masterpiece of deliberative oratory on “How the American People May Avoid Financial Panics.” Major is preparing to drop a bomb, wrapped in Kentucky bluegrass, in the V. S. Senate one of these days that will take the Senate a session’s sitting to recover from. Brossard has his eye on the Supreme Bench. His magnum opus will be, “The Judicial Execution of Legislative I jaws.” Cooley is looking forward to a glorious career as an itinerant preacher, carrying the people before him and leaving the police behind. White and Whitehead, Coburn and Kgbert are contemplating the organization of a “Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Horses” first aid to the injured. Burke, in his role of philosophic orator, is bound to set the people of two hemispheres thinking, Woodbury, rivaling Demosthenes and Dun-ford, out-eiceroing Cicero, will supply material for the Sunday issue of the future. If you wish to hear English as she should be spoken, you ought to hear Stevens on “How a Desquition or Disquisition should be Desguis-ished by the Desquisisher.” Wooley's a “hummer” on the eulogistic—commemorative—celeb-rat ive —anniversary—inaugural.” For the hortative oration, Halgren and Holmgren make a tandem that’s hard to beat: and Senator Depew is eclipsed by Bjnarsen, as an after-dinner speaker. SG CHEMISTR Y NDER the management of Professor Greaves, the Chemistry Department is assuming immense proportions. The Station Department is at present concerning itself, more directly, with the milling qualities of Utah wheats and the movement of nitrates in the soil: two questions of the utmost importance to Utah agriculturists. The laboratory in General Chemistry is a source of great knowledge for the “freshies.” After completing their first course, they are able to tell one all about explosives and their effect upon the face and arms. The students in the advanced courses are working to convert that substance called air, into blocks. Watch for their announcement, as it is said to l e a powerful preservative for sour expressions. INTERIOR VIEW OF INSTITUTE CAR The Agricultural College Extension Work HE Legislature of 18% enacted a law requiring the faculty of the Agricultural College to hold a Farmers’ Institute in each county of the state, at least once each year. The movement was a new one, and little interest was taken, in most of the localities of the state, until the past few years. A year ago, however, the trustees of the College, realizing the great importance of this work, created the office of Superintendent of Agricultural Extension work, and detailed members of the faculty to go into various localities of the state and hold sessions of at least one week’s duration, with the farmers and farmers’ wives. In most of the counties of the state, these farmers’ schools were held last year, and the interest was so great that, at the conclusion of the year’s work, it was found that more than 27,000 people had been in attendance. The extension department co-operates with Farmers’ clubs, Commercial clubs, Ladies’ clubs, or any other organization through which the work can 1m? most effectively done. The Extension Department takes the work of the College right out among the men and women who live on the farms, and, undoubtedly, offers great opportunities along educational lines. The farmers and farmers’ wives, hungry for the new light, are anxious for the aid and help that the College brings to them. S7 L FORESTRV For centuries, Forestry has been practised abroad but only within the last generation has it claimed the attention of the American people. Now the problem is forcing itself upon the country, and it demands specially trained men to handle it successfully. Realizing this need the College has introduced work in this line. This year the course was taken by students from Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and New York, most of whom were engaged as riders, or re-serve overseers. The work was under the direction of Professor Hothery, who is also employed continually by the Government. Owing to the vast amount of timber in the United States, it has in the past been shamefully destroyed. It has been so largely appropriated by corporations r and individualscngaged in the lumber business, that, whenthe forest lands were withheld from entry, the Government was astonished to find that it owned only one-fifth of the standing timber. There is still enough timber, if properly cared for, to supply all our demands indefinitely. It means, however, an army of trained men and an expenditure of millions of dollars to do this properly. The policy is to install a complete college course in the work next year. COMMERCE !HE School of Commerce is the part of the Agricultural College that teaches business. Business instruction has two distinct sides: the technical and the educational. The technical side consists of manipulation, computation, and compilation of various things pertaining to business. The educational side consists in cultivating the taste, and training the judgment as to various things pertaining to business. The one process results in the making of an automaton,—a machine operating a machine; the other produces an intelligent being with a trained judgment. Some schools emphasize the technical and neglect the educational. We emphasize both. The School of Commerce is made up chiefly of instructors and students, and other necessary equipment. The instructors are classified by the students as married and unmarried. The students are classified by the instructors as male and female, and sometimes a few are placed on the College Roll. Commercial students are urged to become acquainted with the methods employed in Agriculture, Domestic Science, and Mechanic Arts, as they afford excellent opportunities for the introduction of business methods. These lines of industry furnish furthermore inexhaustible wealth for business men and women. General Science is seldom considered, as very little is found there to interest a Business man. Selah! It is also the business of the Commercial Departments to boost. Some have tried to knock our business, and have failed. 0 I THE L1BRAR Y The library is a place where all students meet on equal grounds. When a student does not know what to do, feels an inherent desire to ‘‘(1116611”, or when “Pa” Caine fires him out of the halls, he immediately seeks the nooks and the cozy corners of the “library.” On the left, as you enter, is a large space filled with tables scattered promiscuously, upon which innumerable “prep.” games thrive. Turning to the right, you enter an iron pen entirely fenced, except for a bar of justice which overlooks the apartment on the left. The pen is divided into seventeen alcoves of convenient size for two, leaving, however space for general parley. On quiet lazy days this apartment is in full use; other times, it is more like a game of “run, sheep, run.” But to be serious, we believe that we have the best arranged library of its kind in the State. Xo student having access to the Agricultural College library needs to be narrowly educated. What an opportunity, to have at our finger ends eighteen thousand volumes, the treasured thought of great writers, past and present! Some one has said that a modern university is a library. May we not then claim distinction for the U. A. C.? We commend the management on the general arrangement and order of the books, enabling the student to get at reference material quickly. Kvery one feels that the Misses Smith are efficient librarians. We know, further, that they wait on us with a good will and pleasantness that should be eulogized. 91 IF THOU ART WORN AND HARN BTSET WITH 50RROW5.THAT THOU W0UL 5T T0R( ET, IF THOU UQULbST REAb A LESSON THATWIIUEEP THV HEART FW FAINTIM m thy min n sleep.

It is older than the ...the juniors, the Buzzer, older even than the seniors,—which is saying a great deal. In the hoarv dawn of A. C. history, in the very genesis of things on the Hill, we find the subject of English looming large and portentous. It has “held its own ever since, and to-day more students are taking this subject than can be found in any other department. It is, in short, and always has been, a popular subject. In the remote epoch when the A. C. U. rose out of Chaos, when Wm. Black was “foremost living novelist” (so said the Department), in the reign of Sanborn, the province of English was kept and guarded by one Henry L. Everett. He also kept the adjacent demense of Modern Languages. His personality was striking, his reign, brief. See his picture in the Library. And lie was succeeded by one greater than he—greater, though shorter and more rotund, the great Elias T. Mac Ewan. His advent was most opportune and auspicious. A strong, vigorous hand was necessary to build up the Department, and for ten years, from 1892 to 1902, Professor MacEwan ruled with an iron hand, establishing a reputation for thoroughness which defies rivalry. His students remember him with trembling or with affection according as they did or did not progress beyond the freshman year. His courses were at once thorough-going and inspiring. His monument is the great number of Utah men and women living to-day whom he first introduced to the enchanted fields of literature, whom he, often unconsciously, showed “Charm’d magic casements, opening on the foam Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn.” A better monument no teacher of English could desire. Professor MacEwan was succeeded, in 1902, by Professor Alfred Horatio Upham, fresh from Harvard, and the father of Student Life. 93 His reign was brief, but dramatic, three gorgeous dramas being enacted by the students of the English Department, during Professor Upham's regime. They were: As You Like It, Midsummer Night's Dream, and She Stoops To Conquer. More A. C. students trod the stage—at Logan and elsewhere those few years than ever before or since. Professor Upham will go down to remotest posterity as the patron saint of U. A. C. journalism and theatricals. His students will remember him for his genial, cordial ways, his genuine college atmosphere. There followed an interregnum of two years during which the Department was officially headless. Miss Wyant swayed the sceptre in Professor Upham's absence. In 1907 the Department was completely re-organized, five new teachers being employed. Christian Larsen, also of Harvard, was made head of the Department. This brings us to the modern times and to the aims and ideals of the present English faculty. Briefly, they are the same as ever: to foster correct speaking and writing by emphasis on practice as well as on theory, to awaken and stimulate in every student a love for good literature, to cultivate literary taste, and to encourage the reading habit, to maintain all due interest in school journalism and dramatics and lay special stress on inter-class and inter-school debating. 94 MODERN LANGUAGES HENCE come those shrieks, so loud and shrill, that cut like blades of steel the air?” Thus queries the poet who wrote the ‘‘Polish Boy”, and thus query the promenaders in the south corridors of the A. C. They seem to be noises that baffle classification. Those who have reached the dignity of the Sophomore year and even a few second-year “preps” know, however, that they are quasi-European sounds that usually come from the throats of victims in Hoorn 277, who are trying to “rise to the occasion.” This sacred and over-worked phrase means that certain students are frantically endeavoring to bluff a fussy and over-exacting modern-language professor into believing that they have been toiling for hours, to adapt their throats to German gutterals or their lips to French finesse, to show him that they are intelligent workers with adhesive memories. Some fall early by the wayside, others manage to squeeze out a D minus for two years, while many begin to taste the joys of German scientific thoroughness and French cleverness and brilliancy. Many, in after life, are thankful that they have acquired this knowledge for they find it helpful in travel, in understanding English, in gaining higher degrees, in buying gowns at Panquin’s, or stallions in Belgium. f 'i MATHEMATICS Oil all the higher arts of construction, some acquaintance with mathematics is necessary. The carpenter turning out a rolling-pin; the blacksmith setting a wagon tire; the seamstress designing a sheath-gown; the cook rolling out a pie crust, the veterinary surgeon making a test for glanders; the agriculturist trapping grasshoppers; the commercial man writing out a check; the athlete making a high jump; the soldier in his target practice; seniors and juniors of all kinds; Professor Langton and his associate instructors: all are guided by geometrical, trigonometrical, and algebraical truths which can be found only in Math. 4. Contemplate your surroundings. On the application of rational mathematics, depends the success of manufaetme. The turned legs of your chair are machine made; your clothing, your teeth, your hair—your thoughts, probablv—are machine made. And. as the ability of a senior to make the College Roll depends on his ability to pass Math. we see that such knowledge may determine his career. Judge, then, the worth of mathematics. % OUR NEW DORMITORY DOMESTIC SCIENCE V with a oerception will notice that Domestic is divided int ‘ v and Art. Domestic man has developed two habiw. which he has become a slave, viz: eating and wearing Whes. The aim of Science is to satisfy man’s appetite; oi . to satisfy woman’s vanity: two problems with impossil solutions. However, the results are very battering, especially in Art; while the results in Science call for continued effort. Nineteen years ago, Miss Albe L. Marlott opened the first Domestic Science door in the College, the only door to the only room in the department. Although it was very crowded it was also very well arranged, it being only a step from the pantry to the kitchen or dining room. .Mrs. Dalinda Cotey filled the position after Miss Marlott resigned. Now the department could be reached by five doors leading to as many rooms, and several assistants were necessary. Miss Ada Little and Mrs. E. .). McEwan were employed in this capacity, the latter being given the superintendency of the sewing department. The next to take charge of the department was Mrs. Rhoda Cook, who succeeded her sister, Mrs. E. J. McEwan, in the work. For two years Miss Blanche Cooper has been Associate Professor of Domestic Science. As was stated before, it is the aim of the department to make specialists of the girls, for their own homes, for other people’s homes, for schools, or any other place where they can make money or happiness by cooking or sewing. 97 ART DEPARTMENT VERY student who studies art at the A. C. V. does not become an artist, nor is it the purpose of the department to make him so. Of course, in doing the work planned, all develop their talent to a certain extent. It is the aim of the Art Department to give each student work adapted to his special course. The boys of the Agricultural School are taught how to produce animals and plants—on paper. In Mechanic Arts, the students are taught to sketch objects accurately, thus training their judgment of form. They are also given work in constructional design, emphasis being laid on the l eautiful as well as the practical. Students of Domestic Science and Art have an entirely different line of work. The aim here is to aid in home building. In addition to the above work, lectures upon the history of painting, sculpture, architecture, and furniture, are given. Students who are especially interested and talented are given an opportunity to specialize in sculpture, painting, free-hand drawing, and various other lines of artistic handicraft. 98 t The School of Mechanic Arts Suppose now, you are sauntering around the campus, thinking of 'beating it” home, and you hear sounds resembling the din and clash of a boiler shop, mingled with the buzz of a saw-mill. If you are very lazy, you’ll ask some one what it is, and, if your nerves are strong, you’ll follow up the sounds and this is what you will see—maybe—anyway it’s in the catalogue: and I’ve seen it too: three long lines of amateur smiths trying to do real black-smithing. Such a sight is hard to forget- -think of so many, at one time, “striking while the iron is hot.” We have known cases where the iron was made hot by being struck. Hear, 0 hear them! While wiping your smoke-filled eyes and nursing the hand that touched a piece of innocent-looking hot iron, you enter a room that sounds likea saw-mill. .Sometimes, the head wood-magician enters, and the room is turned into a men’s drawing room—for Karnest workers only. Drawings are made in detail. “Of all the arts, great music is the art, To raise the soul above all earthly storms.” And sometimes it raises soul, hair, anger and storms. Just count on your fingers the advantages a music student has: he can take private lessons on the piano, violin, mandolin, guitar, or voice; he is eligible to the choir, band, orchestra, and glee clubs. What a musical monster he may become! Professor Thatcher, the heart of the school, has a vigorous beat. Mr. Spiker is the leader of the College orchestra. This organization is noted for its classic music. As Mr. Dooley says, “You can't whistle it or sing it but you could cough it or reproduce it by steppin’ on a dog’s tail and shakin’ a stove at the same time.” It is the aim of the department to give each student a good foundation, but those with the largest feet do not necessarily make the best music. Mocking bird feet do not imply a mocking bird Voice. Upon the completion of a four years' course, the student becomes a professional and receives a sworn statement certifying to the fact. AROUND. AROUND. FI.EW EACH S( U jj HAW MATERIAL MILITAR Y DEPAR TMENT HE Military Department was first organized in 1892 and has grown steadily since that time. At the time of its organization, Major, then Lieutenant Henry I). Styer was in charge. Since that time, this department has been carried on under the direction of Lieutenant S. W. Dunning and Captain H. R. Perry, both of the U. S. Army. The equipment has been, at all times, sufficient for the needs of the Department. Up to the present, the work of the Department has included only high-school students; but since last fall, a large percentage of college men has been enrolled. These have aided in developing the interest which now prevails. For several years past, we have entered the inter-collegiate hoot established by the University of California, and entered by most of the schools throughout the inter-mountain and coast regions. Here, also, we have achieved some success, winning first place in 1904, third place in 1907, and in 1908, although our team did not distinguish itself, we received first prize for the highest individual score. This year we have entered the National Rifle Association, which embraces indoor and out door contests, in both of which we have encouraging prospects.

That game was not played this season fortunately for them, for we were prepared to “wipe them out of existence.” In all of our practice games, we won; but though the two most important games were lost, bot h opposing teams admit that we played a hard, stubborn game, our gritty men sticking to it until the finish. Every minute of our game with Golden, the only big game played here, was thrilling. No more so, however, than was our last game, played in bos Angeles. This year marks Captain Brossard’s last year. Paddock is his successor and, with Coach Teetzel, great things may be expected next season. 125 SOPHOMORE FOOTBALL TEAM STRATFORD, SESSIONS, KNAPP, COOK, I. EGBERT, F. BROWN. ROBINSON. WILLEY, W.

A. C. WOMAN’S CLUB getlier On February 17. 1902, a few of the wives o' the faculty members of the Utah Agricultural College met ami organized a literary club known as the Agricultural College Woman's Club. While literary work was one object of this organization, its chief purpose was to bring to- ____ the College women and as many of the town women, interested in the College as the limited membership would allow, to work for the success and uplifting of the institution. During all the years of its existence the Club has kept in mind one purpose for which it was organized the general welfare of the institution whose name it bears. It has been an active worker in all social functions and has given its support to all public entertainments undertaken by the students. A gift which will ever remain an index of the Club’s interest in the students is the Discobolus which now stands in the library. While the chief ambition of the Club is always to be of service to the College whose name it bears, it has given aid in various public undertakings of the town, and a committee on Civic Improvement has been added to the activities of the Club. Some work has already lxsen done toward beautifying and improving the town and the Club hopes to add to it in the future. 136 THE COMMERCIAL CLUB E Commercial Club is an offspring of the School of Commerce. Its membership comprises the most intelligent and best looking body of young men and women in the College, all students of the School of Commerce being its members. All members are reported as being strictly temperate, especially in some things. The aim of the Commercial Club is excellent and all are good at hitting the mark; sometimes they hit back. It is the ambition of the Club to promote peace and good will of its members, boost the School of Commerce and collect membership fees and assessments. The most popular man with the ladies is elected President, and the most popular lady is elected secretary. The Sergeant-at-Arms is elected according to his fighting qualities and red hair. Meetings are held every two weeks. The purpose of these meetings is to transact business, render programs, listen to speeches, levy assessments, and sometimes to sluff classes. Sometimes an informal meeting is held, at which market reports, prices, etc. are considered. Some of the most important subjects which have been up for discussion are socks, ties, trousers, smoking tobacco, bargain sales, laces, ribbons, rats and face powder. Many statistics concerning Cache Valley have been collected by the Club. These will be of great value to business men as they will be able to decide what business will pay best, who makes the most money and which man’s daughter is apt to get the largest wedding present. Statistics equally as valuable to the business woman are also available. Financially, the Club is in a very flourishing condition, most members being allowed to become delinquent in paying their dues and then being assessed double for the privilege. 138 AGRICULTURAL CLUB 1902 the idea was conceived by some of the most wide awake students of Agriculture to organize a club for the purpose of getting some social training along with the more monotonous book work. The club has had a steady growth until now it boasts of forty-one members. all of whom are interested in agriculture. Meetings are held every two weeks, at which a regular program is given. At such times the talented members have an opportunity to “blossom. ' Lectures pertaining to farm and farmers are frequent. Kangaroo courts are held occasionally to supply the necessary punishment for disobedient members. Every member’s pet aversion is work. For this reason an exhaustive study is made of the mechanics of hoeing, digging post holes or other unadorned work, the idea being brain development at the expense of muscular growth. The favorite poem of the club is, “The Man with the Hoe.” Ill STUDYING THE REMAINS OF LAKE BONNEVILLE i THE OLD MILL STREAM IN WINTER THE A. C. U. GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY HE A. C. Geological Society was formed about the beginning of the New Year. It is composed of members of the geology' class and others who have a condition in geology, and who desire to acquire a knowledge of the subject. It is a very “rocky” subject, and one sometimes wonder what on earth they are really studying. One object of the society is to develop the observation of earthly things, and an appreciation of the work of the elements. From this standpoint the work may be considered elementary. Meetings are occasionally held at the home of some member where good cooking is done. The prime object of such meeting is to discuss and cuss rocks, changes, trips, and absent members. It is the aim of the society to gain knowledge by personal observation, and by studying local conditions, This is done by constant reference to the Reports of the I . S. Geological Survey and Reports of the Smithsonian Institute, and trips are sometimes planned for exploring Logan Canyon, and other desirable places for picnics. These trips are sometimes the downfall of the entire Society as it takes several days to recover from such strenuous work as transporting all new species of rocks discovered by the individual members of the society to a place of safety in the valley. These specimens are placed and treated by an expert who labels them for future reference and any one versed in the science of geology can easily tell the age of each. Perhaps this is why this science is popular with men and unpopular with women. Despite the 'shortcomings of the members it is a perfect society, doing a great good, and we hope it will be a success. THE GREAT STONE FACE 143 THE HELICON E Helicon, as its name suggests, consists of literary folks who meet weekly to worship the muses, the inspires of our poets. The fact that many of these lie without the pale of the ordinary English class, led to the organization of the Helicon. Naturally, then, the new society is made up of those who, enjoying poetry, are willing to put forth effort to get what might he called “side gems. When the call to organize went out thirty-five students responded, all interested in this new idea. An organization was effected with Leon Fonnesbeck as president, L. A. Stevens as vice-president, and Gwen Anderson as secretary. The American poets were chosen for the first term of work, Longfellow being the first study. The free manner in which the work was handled, the self-expression, and the interpretation put into Ids simple poems, promises much for the future development, of the participants. The general aim of tho Helicon has been hinted at; to add to the class-room study of Shakespeare, Milton, Tennyson, and other masters, a bit of popular sauce— Dunbar, Aldrich, Sill. King of whom all students should be given the opportunity to know something. In a word, the Helicon offers a supplementary literary education and is therefore justly popular in the L. A.

It is the first time that we have ever been honored with the presence of His Excellency, The Governor, at any affair of this kind and to see him in company with Mrs. Sprv, leading the grand march was impressive. He was followed by the members of his staff who were in full military dress. The general appearance of these officers might have proved an incentive for our cadets to shine, had such a thing been necessary. As a matter of fact, however, each cadet had been put through such a thorough scrubbing, brushing, and polishing, that he came out in a state of absolute brilliancy which was adequately displayed in the splendid Batallion Parade given during the evening. We must not forget the ladies of the ball; they in their beautiful gowns were superb. Each one looked as if the proverbial Godmother had been around with her magic wand. The spacious auditorium, appropriately decorated in American flags and college pennants, was crowded. Those who had the affair in charge did themselves proud, for the ball, in every way, surpassed any previously given. 1C5 THE SOROSIS BALL 'OK days after the event was announced every pair seen in the halls looked and acted like newly-weds. The fellows, red-faced and stammering, were putting up their l est arguments, while the girls were blushingly “handing out ’ the heart-propelling yes or cruelly giving the proverbial ironic “turn-down.” At last, the night came The hall was home-like and pleasant, the music vivacious and dreamy by turns, and the crowd was one of splendor. The Society girls, looking like fresh-bound first editions, were all smiles. Not a harsh note marred the evening. The pleasantries went on in fashion. Suddenly the coup-de-grace, grand championship or bachelors' handicap, was announced. Known as the “Sorosis Man Catcher”, it consisted of a realistic scene, combining Heaven and inferno, in which all took part; the music and dancing were charming: the folks, happy—for the lights were out, except some sparks showing from the heads of the Sorosis girls. The refreshments equalled the rest of the’evening which had a charm about it reached but seldom in a season. In fact, each like event in Logan lias been compared but discarded as not equal to the Sorosis success of 1908. 166 THE BLUE T VICTOR Y 'HE crowning event of the Blue T Sorority took place on the Ides of March, when the girls gave their annual Hop. The date was appropriate and every Caesar, modernly known as bachelor, was in danger of losing his heart when he mingled with this band of conspirators. The whole affair was premeditated, with malice aforethought, and everything was arranged to compel one to forget care. Dullness was put to rout; pretty girls and good cheer held sway; and “there was a sound of revelry by night.” The gigantic T, placed at the far end of the pavilion, lighted with blue electric bulbs, shed its mystic light over the gay assemblage and helped make things jolly. Blue T. refreshments were served with a smile and cherries. Time was lacking, but some was borrowed from the next day, blue Tuesday, or Blue T’sday, as you will, which perhaps explains the origin of Blue T. 167 THE SENIOR BALL K seniors were asleep—and that's a fact. We know it s mean to take advantage of people when they are helpless or at least not responsible—but the temptation was too great for us and we—“rose to the occasion. It was the night of the Senior Ball—an ideal night for a sleighride—and, as we had plenty of room for more in our sleighs, we considerately decided to take the senior girls along with us. This was an hour and a half before time for the Ball and the girls were delighted with the prospects of a ride which “positively was not to last more than ten minutes because they must l e ready when the dutiful senior fellows called for them. The juniors were all ready beforehand so that the success of the party would not be marred by their tardiness. After a delightful ten-minutes ride, those “easy girls were taken to a place of safety and locked up. The naughty TO’s then hurried to the pavilion to carry out the plans of the seniors (whom they love and honor deeply and for whom they would die if necessary.) Under this able management, everything went off beautifully, and, at about ten o'clock, the belated seniors appeared and enjoyed an hour of real lively “guying , along with their dancing. The seniors, of course, feel deeply obliged to the juniors for the success of the evening, and the juniors in spite of their modesty (and with all due respect to the seniors) feel that much credit is due them. The guests are especially grateful to the juniors for waking up the crowd. 108 FARMERS’ NIGHT OUT After wishing, waiting, and getting disappointed on t several dates, the time came at last for the Agg. Club Ball. Farmers are not usually great social entertainers, but those who attended this event are of the unanimous opinion that this is not always the case, for the ball was a great success. Every dance from the “Sugar Beet Slide” to the 'Love Vine Twine” was one to be always remembered. The decorations were unique and represented all phases of Agriculture. The programs, also, stood out prominently in that each dance was named according to its characteristics, in terms of the farmer. The Sorosis girls showed their usual loyalty. Their Domestic Science costumes made a “hit” with all the boys. The Club members had a rural attire which distinguished them and, at the same time, added to their comfort. The music was sweet; the hall, brilliant; the crowd, large. The only complaint was that the time passed too soon. 1G9 JUNIOR BOOTH JUNIOR PROM The Junior Prom, given April 12th in the Pavilion, was one of the most pleasant socials of the year. Due to the wide advertising during the sale of “corners”, most of the students and faculty members were induced to attend. All who secured booths decorated them appropriately, so that the hall looked as attractive, in a somewhat inharmonious way, as it has at any social during the year. The juniors themselves, who took the refreshment room, worked an original decorative scheme that called forth favorable comment. They arranged a sort of bower of willows, then covered the whole with paper flowers. This was artistically done, and was quite unique. Hanson’s caterers served excellent punch to the thirsty dancers. 171 THE ALUMNI BALL ILK season of 90S-09 has been peculiarly rich in innovations at the 13. A. C. Many of these, social and otherwise, have come to stay. They were so eminently successful as to establish a precedent which will undoubtedly be followed annually for years to come. Of such a nature was the Alumni Hall given in the Pavilion, January 11, 1909. For the first time in its history, the U. A. C. Alumni Association ave a mid-winter ball. By good fortune, the executive committee secured a propitious date, the opening ball of the New Year. The feature of the evening was the elaliorate system of college decorations, hundreds of pennants representing the local schools and the various Rastern colleges attended by the Alumni, decorating the walls and booths. About four hundred fifty persons were in attendance, and the Association had the support of the faculty, the Student body, the various fraternities and sororities, and other A. C. organizations. As an initial venture, the party was in every way a success and has paved the way for a long series of Alumni Balls. STUDENT ACTIVITIES STUDENT BODY ORGANIZATION GKNKRAf, OFFICERS THE U. A. C. STUDENT BODY ORGANIZATION FOR a long time after our Alma Mater opened, its student activities were managed and carried on more or less successfully under temporary management, and at times under no management at all. But unorganized as it was, our student body always held the reputation of being loyal and progressive. However, as time rolled on, and the college took position on the first row, the students felt the need of a permanent systematic management of their affairs, and, in the autumn of ’07, the Y. A. C. Student Body Organization was created. At that time, conditions in the different departments and organizations were not ideal, and absolute control of all activities was not taken. But, as the organization grew stronger and more effective, it created such enthusiasm and college spirit that by the beginning of its second year it had within its clutches all the student activities. The organization includes all the students in the institution. Its object is to promote the interests of the members in matters which concern them as a whole and to create, and foster the highest type of college spirit and loyality. Without doubt it is accomplishing its purpose. 175 STUDENT LIFE STAFF STUDENT LIFE TUDKNT Life, the organ of the students, is the only paper published by the students of the Utah Agricultural College. It has ever reflected credit upon our school and has won recognition in (he world of college journalism. Starting in 1902 under the direction of Prof. A. H. Upham, “The Father of Student Life”, the paper was issued as a magazine. This year it was changed to the newspaper form. Few can understand the difficulties involved in the first publication of a college paper unless they have, in some way, been directly connected with the project. There is the problem of finances and this, of course, is the greatest consideration. In this problem arises another, almost equally as great, that of arousing interest in the paper, among the students. The first years of Student Life were difficult ones, but Professor Upham and the staff, of which James Jardine was for two years the editor, through untiring efforts, kept the paper alive. Then C. W. Porter took the editor’s chair and worked the “life-pump” for another year. Professor Upham then left the Institution.anti Mr. Jardine took the head of the English Department. Under his supervision, P. G. Peterson and F. 1). Farrell, the next two editors, brought the paper safely up to 1907. Upon the leaving of Professor Jardine, Christian Larsen succeeded to the English chair and P. V. Cardon, the present editor, took the paper. Last fall the students felt that a weekly paper would be more “newsy”, and consequently Student Life became a weekly, as at present. The paper, now in a flourishing condition, is appreciated by all. Together with the weekly form, there are some magazine numbers published each year. These give opportunity for the development of the finer literary talents of the students. It is hoped that, in the near future, conditions will be such that we can maintain both the weekly sheet and a monthly literary magazine. W V OUR WINNERS f i B. Y. U. B. Y. U. vs. U. A. C.

Sa-ay now, fellow students, members of the Junior class- Do you not think that we ought to go about this plan quietly? The Sophomores have some men that are hard to get the best of. Don't you think that we would better form searching squads to go through the buildings and perhaps find them in that way? Pete. 1 am very much in sympathy with Mr. Lloyd’s suggestion. You see we can search quietly for a few days and by that time Bross, Arch, Crocker, Krorer and a few of the rest of those brawny guys will be off with the foot-ball team to the coast. Then we can cut hair, or even lock up some of those pretty Soph girls with the hot-headed, little Dutch janitor for a few hours. He’ll give em fits all right. ‘Im not afraid of those rubes, but Td a little rather have them out the way. Nan. Well, if it’s a Soph stunt, we can easily make some of those girls tell. We’ll just get them one at a time and tell them to show us where those sweaters are, or we ll give them something nasty, cayenne pepper or mustard. I know Lucile will get awful angry, but if you boys will hold her, we girls can give her a little dose anyway. Marge. I move we adjourn. (Carried.) SCENE IV. Willie’s Room. Discovered Willie and Cook. Willie. This is the hardest Dutch lesson that we’ve had yet. That little Prof, doesn’t know how much to ask of a fellow. I wish I didn’t have to take the stuff. Say Cook. I don’t like the way those Junior girls acted to-day. That looks kind-a bad on our characters to have them come and search our rooms while we are gone. Looks as if they thought we were thieves. I am going to get even with them right now. (Goes to telephone.) Hello, Central. Give me 133z, please. Hello, is this Marg? Yes, this is McOmie. Say Marge, I’ve just found where our sweaters are. They are hidden in the Vet. hospital. Get them? Of course we ought to. How did I find out? Well, never mind about that. Tell you later. What’s that? You’ll ’phone Josephine? That’s good and you’ll come to the greenhouse to-night? Well, it’s kind-a late—eleven now. All right, I’ll be there. Don’t fool me now, will you? (Wild whoops from Cook and Willie as the receiver goes up.) 19-1 Cook. Hurry up, and get some of the other fellows on the ’phone and let’s get up there and hide. They’ll sure come. How they did bite! SCENE Y. (Josephine's House. Telephone Kinging.) Josephine. Yes, this 309 black. Who wants me? What? That you Marge? What? Honest? Where? At the Yet. Hospital? Way up there? Sure thing. Let’s not wait a minute. Come right over and I will be ready as soon as you get here. Wasn't that clever of McOmie? I knew he would find them or do something. I am sorry that he is married, he would be able to do so much for us if he weren’t. You say that you have the horse and buggy all ready? I'll hurry. Had we better call for Aldous? Yes, that’s so; he can crawl into holes and such places where we can’t. Good bye. SCENE YI. (At the Greenhouse.) Aldous. Pete! P-K-ete! Wake up. Something good! Pete, (sleepily) Well, is it the sweaters? Aldous. Yes, and hurry up and get them here; the girls are freezing to death. Marge. Hasn’t McOmie been up here yet? Maybe he hasn’t had time. Won’t it be dandy for all of us to.go to chapel in the morning with our sweaters on? This is the best joke yet. Josephine. Oh, Marge! Hurry up and get in, Kete. I can’t wait to get up there. SCENE MI. (At N et. Hospital and along Road.) Aldous. 1 am afraid that we are not going to get them now; every door and window is locked. Pete. Oh well, we’ll get in all right. There’s a coop-hole, air-hole or some other sort of a little hole up on the north side. Come on, old boy; give me a boost. (Pete appears on the inside and turns on the light and helps Aldous in. The girls stand by the window.) Aldous. (NVho has gone up stairs) Oh! Oh! What is it! Pete, come up here and help me corral these guinea pigs or rabbits. I kicked over a little board or something and they are running all over the place. I can’t get them back. Pete. Ah, let cm go. Doc. Frederick can herd his own guinea pigs and rabbits to-morrow. Irons will have to do it anyhow. Look for the sweaters. Marge. Did you look behind the table? Look in all the corners. Josephine. What’s that big thing hanging down in the basement? Pete. Oh. that’s an old gray horse the vets are dissecting. Josephine. I wonder if they are hid behind that. Aldous. (Opening door and looking down) Puh! Woof’ I don’t think. Marge. Look over here under this cloth. Aren’t they in any of the cupboards or drawers? Oh, look in that big box. (Pete turns over the box and a big fat dog comes rolling out.) Marge and Josephine. Oh, for heaven’s sake, what have you done. 195 What is the matter with t he poor thing? Why, it lias a sack around it. Pete. (Takes the dog by the back of the neck) Come back old lady, Can’t let you go yet. Aldous. Well, girls, it’s a cinch the sweaters are not here. Hear anything of McOmie coming yet? Pete. I think we have been bit; say you jieople couldn’t have picked a prettier night for a buggy ride. Aldous. Let’s not anybody know this. Marge. I never had anyone play such a trick on me before. Not in my whole life. But I am sure it was Mr. McOmie who called me up. It sounded just like his voice. Pete. Don’t you worry. If old Mac had known anything about it he would have been here before now. Josephine. I wouldn’t have anybody find this out for anything in the world. For heaven’s sake don’t let’s tell. I don’t think that anyone else knows anything about it. Marge. Well, we’d better go home. Good night Fete. I wish we had found the sweaters. Wouldn’t it be dandy if we had? We won’t get much sleep to-night. But I am glad no one knows about it. Voices from the barn and ball-ground. Aren’t you glad you found them? Nobody knows but us and we wont tell, maybe! (Boys scatter and run from several places. Girls whip up their horse and go down the road.) SCENE VIII. College Hall. Aldous. Say Fete, this sweater business is getting beyond a joke. We’ve got to get them. We must make some of those guys bring them back. The Knitting factory is crowding me for the pay and I’m not going to stand for all this. Fete. Oh! There’s no stunt to it at all. Any prep could do as well. Why, there is some one stealing rubbers every day. I guess they call that a stunt too. Aldous. The next fellows that tell me this is a joke is going to get hit. I’ll smash him, I don’t care who he is. Coral. Say, have you heard anything about the sweaters? Aldous. Naw. Nothing at all. Coral. Well, that’s just too mean. But it is really a good joke anyhow; don’t you think so? Fete. Now Aldous, old boy, show your metal, do what you said you would. Aldous. Shut up, or I’ll hit you. Pete. That’s right, just think and boil within. SCENE IX. (Class Room Meeting in Sewing Room.) Pres. Aldous. We haven’t found anything about the sweaters yet. (Mutters around the room “You don’t need to tell us that.”) What shall we do? Lloyd. Mr. President, fellow students,Tmembers of the Junior Class— Now we’ve been working quietly for a while and I think we ought to do something more definite. CanLsomebodv suggest something. Grue. I think we should appoint a committee to take the case before 196 the faculty and have them act on it. If we go at it systematically we will be able to accomplish something and we will get our sweaters back or someone will get expelled from school and he wont feel very nice about it either. Pete. It's a pretty sure thing that the Sophs have the sweaters, and I am in favor of making some of them tell the whole thing. I would suggest taking one of the girls and locking her up with the Dutch janitor or in the dark room of the kitchen all night unless she tells. McOmie. I don’t want anything to do with that little Dutch janitor or anything that belongs to him. He licked the whole bunch of us last night. Josephine. 1 move that a committee be appointed to investigate this matter and decide on what is best to do. .Motion Carried? Adjourned. Prof. Laxc.tow I wish to read a notice from the Logan Journal, for fear certain of the students have overlooked it. It is as follows: “Found—Fifteen white sweaters with blue numer al on the left side of each. Owners may receive same by calling at the knitting factory.” SCENE X. (College Chapel.) O A JUNIOR’S FIRST APPEARANCE 197 COLLEGE MINDS |T came to pass that no sooner had the second gong sounded than the interesting little professor was distributing brown sheets of paper among his students, whose faces were “grave and calf-like.” Nun werden wir die Worte haben,” sayeth he in a manly voice. Then behold, there did follow a long list of words spoken in English, but to be written in German; and lo, as each one was spoken, it did enter the listening ears and pound heavily upon the drums until, at last, each proud possessor of a weary brain did write timidly what he thought was the correct German word. Vet verily during all this time the busy little professor worried not. Wie viele Felder haben sie gemncht?” demanded he, pcremtorily. And lo, as he gathered the papers in and listened to each student tell of his mistakes, the professor did often remark “excellent” or “horrible” as the case demanded. And now, behold, the teeth of each student did chatter as he answered, for ke knew not what would come unto him. ‘Nun werden wir die Geschichte haben,” spake the professor sternly. Verily, verily, then followed a period of dire depression. Each student did rack his brain for words with which he could relate what Thor or Siegfried, or some other God or hero, did in his time. And it came to pass that the air was in a whirl and much not pertaining to the lesson was said. Behold, the exasperated little professor had begun to worry and he did burst forth many times in anger. “Auf wciche seite werden wir lesen?” he demanded in an angry voice. Then verily, there came fifteen minutes of hard times. No student was prepared. The translations were “free.” Gross mistakes appeared. lint alas, the excitable little professor could endure no more, his eyes 198 kindled and his words waxed warm as lie shouted “Sie haben dumme Kopfe.” Stillness reigned; the freshman wiped his forhead. Then followed a rattle of oratory like unto a musketry fusillade. Few could get the words; none the meaning. From the whirl, however, a senior says he caught “abominable”— “dignity”—“college men”— “unworthy” “It ought to make”—“blush” —“shame;”—“job on the section”—“dares call himself”— “certainly should be—” But the sudden clang of the gong cut short the discourse of the worthy little professor. Was he worried? A DELICIOUS SUNSET m WHO IS IT? THE COLLEGE FACULTY (Arraigned in the Order of Seniority of Appointment) Who is that little man of might Facing square and facing right? To some he is known as a Ph.I)., But we like to call him just “Prexy.” Who is it? Who has a most pugnacious air, Is rather bald from lack of hair; Is always seen upon the grin, But hits a sluggard hard as sin? Who is it? Who is it always on the wing Experimenting with everything? Will spend a month watching a sugar beet boiling And when he's in motion we say “The Ball s rolling.” Who is it? Who is it that with courtly grace Has us started in the race; Fame’s highest guerdon to attain With music’s soft melodious strain? Who is it? Who reached his present girth and station On Mellin’s Food as daily ration? Like Teddy he scorns a nature-faker, And plants each spring a flowery acre, Who is it? Who is it that moves about as slow, And yet has plenty of grit and go? Has almost wholly run to head, But is pretty good stuff when all is said. Who is it? 200 Who is it peers o’er spectacle rim, And fires questions with a vim; Wears cotton-wool upon his head, And won’t stop kicking till he’s dead? Who is it? Who is it never cuts a caper And shuns the weapon called a rapier? And yet the gore that man has shed! For science’s sake, quick he it said. Who is it? Who has a very spicy wit, Words apropos and sure to hit? His motto, match it if you can, “The pen is mightier than the man. Who is it? Who is it that with rod and gun does off to have a little fun? A man of warlike fighting mien A better bird-shot ne’er was seen. Who is it? Who is it sets us sawing wood And bids us with our hands make good Who tells us that the coming man Is the skilled and well-trained artisan? Who is it? Who tells us when to sow and reap Which seed to plant and which to keep How to harvest our crops in the early fall And run a farm without working at all? Who is it? Who is very grave and most sedate. With vast learning stored in his hairless pate, Deplores in a voice as soft as a dove That he never yet has fallen in love? Who is it? Who is it trots about the halls And on the various teachers calls. To find how far we lag behind And what’s the status of each mind? Who is it? 201 ft Who is it so gentle and so thin That in harmless bugs will stick a pin, Was never known to write a sonnet, Except when a bee got in his bonnet? Who is it? Who amid noxious fumes and gases Delights to teach his suffering classes? With words his tongue is very nimble But should words fail he tries a symbol. Who is it? Who claims the A. C. as Alina Mater, And in the school, too, finds a pater; Horses or hearts is always breaking And jaunty trips is always taking? Who is it? Who talks of opposite polarization, And proves his point by demonstration; A formula gives for increasing speed Which he defines as our crying need? Who is it? Who is the man that wears a sweater? If you don’t know him, you had better. He works and plays both early and late, To make us known throughout the state. Who is it? Who with a manner sweetly frigid Housekeeping rules does give most rigid, And tells how a husband may be kept in clover By skillfully serving what is left over? Who is it? Who is it that with skill imparts The very artmost art of arts, And teaches maidens how to dress On nothing a year, or maybe, less? Who is it? 202 Who is it that from a well-filled head Lectures learnedly on the quadruped, And makes the dullest of us see That an amphibious amphipod isn't a flea? Who is it? Who is it that Fortune thought to maim By giving a most common name? But with a beard, a B. S., and an M. A He won, ah yes, he won the day. Who is it? Who is it ever dwells apart In realms above of higher art, And in perspective spends his days And posters makes for all to praise? Who is it? Who is it lectures gravely wise On “margins ’ “stocks” their fall and rise? A dignity so gently sweet Alas! how seldom do we meet. Who is it? Who is it is ever at his ea.se When tapping on the ebon keys, And always has a heap of fun When cracking chestnuts in a pun? Who is it? Who very graciously on us beams, When handling back blue penciled themes? Alas! how the sad news impart: Tis rumored she has lost her heart. Who is it? Who moves about with stately grace Putting books and pupils in their place? Will frown a bit then sweetly smile And chat with pleasure all the while. Who is it? 203 Who is always on time in meeting classes And smiles so sweetly on the lasses; On time, because he has an auto, And smiles, because he hadn’t ought to? Who is it? Who penetrates us with a glance As keen as the edge of a sharpened lance ; Whose words are pithy, apt and funny A pungent mixture of gall and honey? Who is it? Who is it finds sermons in a stone And even in a piece of bone? A very genial jolly “codger,” With a weakness for a hot corn-dodger. Who is it? Who is the lady so petite That trips about and looks so neat? In sooth she is a dainty sprite, Her manners courteous and polite. Who is it? Who is it that we all do fear And tremble when we see him near? His “grouch” however isn’t chronic, Although his words are so laconic. Who is it? Who is it that's a jolly fellow And though so young is sound and mellow? Teaching school is his vocation, But week end trips are his elation. Who is it? Who is it that with magic art Can search the secrets of the heart. Fill us with joy or with despair, But simply will not brush his hair? Who is it? Who is the man that wears the pine Of service to Uncle Sam the sign? He tarries only till the spring, Then back to the woods he hieth him. Who is it? Who keeps us wandering where he’s at A sort of wingless Hying Bait? And yet he keeps pretty close to the ground A handy man to have around. Who is it? Who has a manner quiet and kind; Works like a clock, not a minute behind Without him we fear that school couldn’t keep? Here’s to you---! We like you a heap.

Fitted to less than a Hair’s Breadth De Laval Cream Separators When you buy a I)E LAVAL Cream Separator you buy mechanical perfection. You get the product of the greatest painstaking mechanical skill and the finest of manufacturing tools. Of special note in this connection is the fact that the bearings and revolving parts of I)E LAN'AI, machines are fitted to less than and capable of lasting from fifteen to twenty-five years tinder the hardest of farm usage and of always doing easily the very best work under any ami all conditions. It is the reason for their remarkable ease of operation and absolutely perfect working in every part. No other separator or farm implement made today has anywhere near the care, time, or expense devoted to its manufacture that the DE LAVAL has. When you buy a DE LAVAL you get the best that money can possibly buy and skill can make in a cream separator way. Moreover, you pay less for it than for any would be competing separator of similar actual capacity. The DE LAVAL catalogue explains and illustrates these all im portant points. It is to be had for the asking. Write today. the one-thousandth part of an inch, or, in other words, to about one-fifth the breadth of a human hair. Such a degree of exactness is invisible to the naked eye, and can only be determined by the finest of gauges. It is nevertheless the set standard to which all DE LAVAL spindles and bearings must be fitted. Any parts which do not come within this degree of accuracy are thrown a-side by the DE LAVAL factory inspectors and much material and many hours of work are sacrificed in this way annually. It is this very sacrifice, however, that makes the DE LAVAL cream separator so extremely durable Separator 42 E. MADISON ST. CHICAGO 1213 1215 FILBERT ST. PHILADELPHIA DRUM M SACRAMENTO STS.
