Indiana EDITORIAL. 4 O KEEP in the rut of old habits and threadbare customs, is easy; to break away from the lethargy of old-fashioned 7' notions and establish new precedents, requires an effort com- J mensurate with the degree of change. Heretofore the classes which have passed from the portals of this institution have been satisfied to produce an annual publication scarcely worthy of a high school-epamphlets which would be read onoeeperhaps twice, shown apologetically to a few intimate friends and then relegated to the oblivious attic, to be dusted, smiled over and replaced perhaps once a year. But Valparaiso University has been growing rapidly, not only physiologically but psychologically, and country school methods are gradually being superseded by modern progressive College ideals. It is with a feeling of pride, therefore, that the Record Board now pre- sents this volume to the University and the graduating classes of 1911 -pride not so much in itself as in the students and faculty which are represented here and in everything associated with Valparaiso University. It has been the aim of the board to produce a book not for the moment but for a life time; one which will find a place in the school room, in the office and on the library table, and which will be a source of interest and amusement for many years to come. If we have accom- plished this, we feel amply rewarded for our efforts. Should anyone find herein that which offends and should feel that he has been treated unfairly, we ask him to remember that it is beyond mortal power to satisfy everyone. That which is written jestingly is not serious enough to receive criticism;that which is recorded seriously is no jest and cannot excite antagonism. To the graduates, the Editors extend their best wishes for success in whatever walk of life you may follow; to the undergraduates-may you proiit by our examples and our mistakes and leave your Alma Mater with the consciousness that you have been bettered by it and that it has been the better for you; to the facultyL-rnay your unselfish and untiring efforts be rewarded by the success of those who have been fortunate enough to come under your direction. To everyone-GREETING. DEDICATED TO Vice-President O. P. Kinsey Who in the trials and endeavors of our past school life has been the greatest to lead us, the Classical, Scientiflc and Educational Graduates of I91 I, to appreciate, as best, years and experience permit, the value of attaining to those high and noble ideals which now urge us forth to activity and victory. May it be with pleasure and happiness, though oncoming days will soon disperse the present agreeable fellowship and co-operation, and years will find us separately engaged in life,s various activities, that we look back to him, to whom we now dedicate the I 91 I Record , the firgt combined Class Book of the University, as the one who inspired us-to our high ideals and noble attainments. Then, too, in future time as we turn these leaves, may sweet memories of bygone university days fill our minds and lead us to help some seeker of truth to enter an institution of learning.

The charming piece of music, the wonderful :35, picture, the beautiful statue, and the masterpiece of litera- r' ? ture, all had their beginnings as a single thought in the mind of the artist. This idea was carefully nourished and devel- oped until it was given to the world tia joy forever. But the work- ings of the mind are not ooniined to art alone; the more practical and perhaps more Vital interests of life are also the products of thought. Much of our present day life is the result of study. Institutions are no exception to this rule. Valparaiso University stands today the product of a single thought in the mind of H. B. Brown. This thought was nourished until it developed into a resolution, and the resolution into a reality. Professor Brown first mentioned his idea of founding a school to Mr. Bogarte in the summer of 1873. He outlined his idea of the school and said if he could find a suitable location he hoped to build up and main- tain a school of at least 300 students, although that was setting the mark rather high. Shortly after this he heard of the closing of a college in Valparaiso, Ind, and a consequently empty building. He at once went to this town and leased the building, which was the present 01d College minus the west wing. This building with a half a dozen residences stood on a hill somewhat apart from a small town of about 2,000 inhabitants. But this was the ideal place for which Mr. Brown was looking, and 011 September 16, 1873, he opened the first session of the Northern Indiana Normal School. The work was organized in three departments with four teachers besides himself: M. E. Bogarte, Miss Mantie Baldwin, B. F. Perrine, and Miss Ida Hutchinson. The building, though small, was large enough for the thirty-iive students who assembled. What is now Recital Hall. served as Chapel Room, and at commencement time its stage nicely seated the graduates and faculty, and its walls reverberated to the eloquent words of the graduatesi addresses. As there were 110 dormitories or boarding hails the few students encountered much difficulty in finding accommodations in the way of board and rooms. But as the school continued to grow, East and South Halls and Heritage were built and still later Lembke and Altruria, so that now the school boards 1,200 students and rooms 600. The others are accommodated in private halls and homes. No other school in America furnishes accommodation for so many of its students. Pro- fessor Kinsey, who became a partner with Prof. Brown in 1881, has made a scientific study of the different foods and their values, and controls the commissariat. The University is chiefly indebted to him for the success it has attained in reducing the cost of living. itage Hall Heir East and South Halls h 10 11. Long before all these boarding and rooming houses had been built the West Wing had been added to the Old College Building, and Com- Inereial Hall had been erected. These were followed by the Law Building, the Auditorium in 1892, Science Hall in 1900, the Medical Building and Music Hall in 1906. Besides these in Valparaiso, there are four large buildings in Chicago for the accommodation of the Medical and Dental Departments. W777, X74 QR Music Hall Old Colleie Buildini But the buildings are by no means the institution itself, although as essential to it as the body is to life or as the ear is to sound. In fact it would be hard to give a definition of the institution. It can be defined only by stating what it is, and what 1t is not. It is a place where students and teachers live by means of bells. They are called to classes by a bell, dismissed by a bell, retire at night at the sound of a bell, wake up in the the morning with a bell, surmnoned to meals with a bell, begin to eat with a bell, finish eating with a bell and evening callers are dismissed by a beliethe Go Bell. It is a place where every- body works, even to father, and nobody is idle. It is not a place where we dance, play cards, have wine parties, smoke or play football. We do not do these things here nor do we have fraternities or class yells about the buildings. The spirit of the institution can not be adequately defined, but like love, must be experienced to be understood. The three original departments have increased to twenty-five, the four teachers to one hundred and ninety-one, and the thirty-five students to five thousand. It outgrew its infancy as a Normal School and became a College in 1900, and from a College developed into a fullefledged Uni- versity in 1907. At present it consists of a Commercial College. a Normal Colleoe f01 Teachers, a College of Oratory7 Pharmacy, Law, Music, Medicine and Dent1st1 y The department of Psychology and Pedagogy was organized in 1896 for the purpose of increasing the school s facilities for a high grade of strictly professional. work. The course has been changed and enlarged from time to time to keep abreast with modern ideas. Prof. Neet is at the head of this department, and his work is recognized all over the United States. Upon completing the course the student re- ceives the degree of Bachelor of Pedagogy. The Commercial College is especially strong, standing at the head of the 11st of commercial colleges in the United States. It is the aim of . 11. a College Auditorium Auditorium Interior e12e t this department to make the work practical. To this end each student has charge of each of the various offices. MIntelligent practice, not theoryw might be the motto of this department. The Law College was organized in November, 1879, with one senior and fifty juniors, but it has steadily increased in numbers until last year it had eighty seniors and one hundred thirty-five juniors. The underlying thought in founding this department, was to reduce the expense of legal education without reducing the standard. The course of study was made thorough from the beginning. The mDwight Systen17l of instruction was adopted. This was subsequently changed to a modified Hease systeinfl The success of the graduates of this school demonstrates the thoroughness of its instruction. The College of Music had its birth thirty-seven years ago and has had a growth unsurpassed by any other musical institution. Four courses are' given and the instruction is strictly lirst class. The teachers are not only artists in their particular lines, but know how to present the subjects taught. The students furnish excellent music at chapel three mornings a week, and each year give an oratorio 0f the highest order. The new building is a fine structure containing sixty- siX practice rooms, ten large studies, and Recital Hall, where frequent musical entertainments are given. The College of Pharmacy is regarded as one of the most practical institutions in the West. This department has had a growth that is, phenomenal. No school offers a more extensive course of instruction in the laboratory. The aim of the college is to make practical phar- macists of all who graduate, and the success of the graduates is all that Professor J . M. Roe, the Dean, could wish. The Medical College was founded in 1901 with the name, Chicago College of Medicine and Surgery. The clinical department is located in Chicago7 where an abundance of clinical material is always available, and where specialists can be secured as teachers. The curriculum is so arranged that the students may complete the Freshman and Sophomore years at Valparaiso and the Junior and Senior years in Chicago, or the full four years in the latter city. Because this course is eompletediin Chicago the college operates under the laws of Illinois and complies with all requirements of the Illinois State Board of Health concerning registration and graduation of the students. The college buildings in Chicago are located on Lincoln Street. The Medical Building and Free Dispensary is connected with the Frances Willard Hospital by a' steel corridor across the alley. i This building contains an ampitheater for use of the students in the depart- ment of Surgery. It also contains one of the best equipped X-ray laboratories in the West. The Cook County Hospital is situated opposite the College and is one of the best hospitals in the country. Through these institutions the students work is made very practical. hlgh No wonder the doctors produced by this College are unusually suc- cessful. The youngest department of the University is the College of Dentistry. Though young its standardef excellence is high. Because of the necessity of a great amount of clinical material, it too, is located in Chicago in the center of the great medical college and hospital district. It occupies a handsome five story building and has a special library of its own. It is the most profitable and in some respects the most successful of the University Colleges. Valparaiso University has students from practically every civilized nation. It has been aptly spoken of as a congress of the world. Here all nationalities meet on a common level and learn the English language. They study the American customs, American institutions, American in- vention, American toleration, and American push. They return to their native lands and their people profit by the fruits of their labors, hence Valparaiso University is the great Americanizer 0f the world. When the great Millennium comes, When man Will be judged by What he is, when the brotherhood of man and universal peace Will have been established, Valparaiso University Will have acted well its part. As it stands tO-day, this university is Virtually the prop erty of H. B. Brown and O. P. Kinsey. ttThey erected it, and to them it belongs. They choose to regard themselves, however, as trustees for the people; and they have already made arrangements to bequeath the property to the people When they die. It Will be as noble a monument as two men could have, because it Will represent half a century or more of fruitful thought, patient labor, and unselfish devotionf, Law Building 14 Medical Building PRESIDENT H.

Members of the Classic Class, Ladies and Gentlemen: bl? THERE is one word whose sound is music to a liberty ' i loving people it is freedom. Sweet is the name, but the thing J , itself is of a value beyond the power of poets to picture or I lyrics to sing. For it, countless battles have been fought upon its altar countless sacrifices offered up. Our fore- fathers were animated by it. They possessed an unconquerable love of liberty and as a result have left to us a priceless heritage, liberty in the enjoyment of life and the pursuit of happiness. Ah, how we love that liberty! How our bosoms swell with pride and gratitude when we consider this great privilege! Indeed, greatly to be prized is civil liberty, but more to be desired is the freedom of the individual mind. Upon the latter depends the former and it is thus to the emancipated mind that we must look for , progress. Before we can be a great people we must have more than National Independence. Life has not only to do with our civil relation but the progress of a people must ultimately depend upon the ability of the individual mind to grasp and apply new truths. Man can only develop as his mind is free from the bondage of ignorance, the slavery of fear and the subjection 0f superstition; only as he has that honesty of intellect which desires to listen, to know and to be convinced, that candor which freely yields to acknowledged truth. That narrowness of intellect which tends to give to tradition an undue value, which refuses to recognize truth, which cries out against the culture of Science is the greatest enemy of progressive thought. Such narrowness imprisoned a Gallileo and sought to put to naught the work of a Sir Isaac Newton. We cannot be indifferent to Science in the light of its service to humanity. We cannot but honor those great souls who have produced theories, hypotheses and philosophies realizing that it is to their effort that we owe our advance in material progress. A full self realization of the Individual is but an adjustment of the external to the internal. New truths will be discovered, new laws become known, and a failure to recognize and place ourselves in harmony with them is a failure to do that which makes for progress. A mind open, tolerant, honest to the Self recognizes that a principle or truth is eternal, that it cannot die, that it cannot be ignored, that it -46n will serve us only as we know it and place ourselves in harmony with it. Know, believe the truth, for the truth Will make us free. And, t Ilrnth is within ourselves; it takes no rise From outward things, whateler you may believe, There is an inmost center in us all, Where truth abides in fullness, and around, XVall upon wall, the gross flesh heins thein infl Only when we have this Wider liberality and tolerance, this wider human outlook, this greater courage to follow the star of truth wherever it leads, can we hope to advance as a nation. Only when we acquire the beneficient and generous mind, only when men are exalted above tradition, only when education has banished ignorance, fear and superstition can we hope for a more progressive chapter in 0111' National History, can we see the glorious liberty of a new Vision. ttBuild thee more stately mansions, 0 my soul, As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome inore vast, Till thou at length are free, Leaving thine outgrown shell by lifels unresting seal,7 -4 ,- la CLASS POEM. MUSE, I call upon Thee now 1To make my thoughts come fleeter; And, if you please, to teach me how To formulate my metre. For it is plain as plain can be Thatlyou must give assistance, Or this poor lay, as all can see, Will have no long existence. And with some kindness may you hear This most sincere petition; i For great the burdensis we bear And serious our condition. A great array of Classics grand With eager eye will scan this, And if it meets not their demand, .Their scorn we never can miss. The Autumn leaves were tinged with gold When frem their homes departed A1 band of those whose hearts Were bold, Or they would not have started. For 011 the portals of their home They left a gray-haired mother, And, with a heart that felt like stone, 1 Some left perhaps another. 7B11t, in' this world, all does not go As merry as a sleigh-bell; I No angel needs to tell us so, 1We mortals know it too well. Yet, for the things that we have missed ', By leaving home and loved ones '7 Some other things we do insist :Have followed by the dozens. '1 'Here in this bright and joyous town, i. We ve met five thousand students, V'Who hail from pleasant dale and down And from, the climes inclement. :3 We hear the speech of varied tongues; i Of those both white and sable, VV'WhLile foreigners exhaust their lungs a Recalling ancient Babel. Some come from that fair land of love fWhoSe skies of dreams are woven, Where Dante, aided from above, Sang of :1 Hell and Heaven. . Some come from Englandis marts of trade, From Londonis glare and glimmer, Some from her peaceful rural shade, Far from the sheen and shimmer. Still others hail from genial France, The home of grace and beauty, Whose charms no magic can enhance, Whose word is love, not duty. In truth they come from every land Of knowledge- l-oving mortals; From distant Egypts burning sand; From Chinas sopen portals. And here in fellowship we strive, Each learning from the others The truth, to which all Will arrive, That all mankind are brothers And When the truth shall finally spread From nation unto nation, Perhaps, with one great common head, We 11 join in federation. There is also a famous man, Whose bushy locks are gory; He is the leader of the clane To him belongs great glory. His voice is like the roll of drums His eye is like the eagles, And it is keener for the iibums,, Than is the scent of beagles. His chapel talks are not too long, His prayers are short and pointed; He does not lift his Voice in song As do the Lords anointed. But while he does not lead in prayer As well as does a preacher, At doing work heis surely there, ' And he is quite a teacher. He 3 here, he s there, he s everywhere, Attending to his duties; And once a month he combs his hair Just to delight the tibeauties. But more than that he feeds us hash, Bread, butter and potatoes, And When he wants to make a mash He feeds us canned tomatoes. But, Lord, forbid that we should close These words in reverence spoken Of him alone who always knows When we the faith have broken. Without a word of envelopes That from the office greet us, Destroying all our fondest hopes By saying that he will meet us. A tremor runs through all our frame Our limbs do quack and quiver, We cry aloud in Godls own name- And still we stand and shiver. The rest, n0 mortal tongue can tell; 1t beggars all description; We only know that it is bad To hear Pals malediotion. Pronounced upon our souls, sin-stained, In anger and in pity, That since we had been unrestrained We needs must leave the city. Then to the station-house we creep With thoughts abject and lowly, Declaring we the faith will keep And live a life more holy. That was not all that gave us pain; Some other things came to us. Which nearly drove us all insane- Perhaps those things were due us. That bell which rang at live olclock, 1n vibrant strains and doleful, Gave to our hearts a mighty shock And broke those dreams so soulful. Then like the pair that once did dwell Within that blissful garden, Who never had a cursed bell Their lot in life to harden, We prayed before our morning sup While we were still reclining: uMy God, I guess I must get up, If I would think of dining! Then let none think that all was light, For intermixed was shadow That with its sickly baleful blight Was always sure to follow, When from the path of rectitude We strayed one jot or tittle- But truly, now, we were not rude And only strayed a little. That is the reason we are here To wear our black ltkimonas ; The other fellowis got the beer But we get our diplomas. Now, you who know the joys of both If such are here assembled' Please tell us, if you are not loath, Who has the best plan followed. But we who now are gathered here, Forgetful of all sorrow, Recall with joy room six so dear, And shall for many a morrow; For there we sat from day to day And listened to the teaching Of one who knew the better way Was not eternal preaching. His is a name that aye shall live And never be forgotten; To him our words of praise we give Although theyire feebly spoken. Give him a. coin, a watch, a knife And that old eighteen-hour train, Then with his illustrious rife Helll muddle up a line brain. He talks profoundly quite a while Of things we have not seen And says with that indulgent smile: ltl guess you know, now, what I mean? We straighten up and heave a sigh, We meekly nod our assent, For openly we would not lie, We are by far too revirent. But spring has come again with bird and bloom, And from the Vale of Paradise we go; The God of Nature now smiles through the gloom; The face of Nature wears a radiant glow; Old College Hill is white no more with snow; The grass beneath our feet is springing green; Each studentls lamp at eve is burning low; Each student heeds the lure of the unseen. As creatures handicapped by Time and Place We pass into another realm of life; As men and women we shall run our race Avoiding well the turmoil and the strife, VVhate'er the years shall bring to each and all, And though the music be not always gay These days with memories fond we shall recall Nor shall they be forgot in lifels affray. -eTHOMAS C. COULTER. CLASS HISTORY. MAUDE H. BURKE. THE TIMES! O the customs! O the history of the Classic U class! The Faculty see this, the Class hears this, yet it lives. Lives? Yea, truly; it is heard on Class Day. It becomes a partaker of the Annual. It notes and marks out with its eyes each of us for slaughter. The Faculty once decreed that there should be a class, learned in languages, mathematics and the sciences. Lest it might take anything of detriment, no night intervened; it was placed in charge of one learned in languages and the mental sciences. By a like decree of the Faculty the class was permitted to hold its meetings in room six. There it lives and lives not to be put down for its ability but to be confirmed. O august Faculty! we thank thee, thank thee for thy many wise counsels and grave decisions; for the care which thou hast exercised over us; for the forethought and kind words which have brought us to this day. For, what is it, which thou mayest expect, now, more, Classics? If neither night is able to conceal with darkness the gleam of thy glimmering candle, nor a private house to contain the voice of thy translations within its walls? Change now that mind, forget the worries of indirect discourse and the cries of Dido; thou art free on all sides. A11 thy struggles are clearer to us than light; which it is allowed even thou mayest have. Hast thou remembered that on a certain night thou didst assemble in an upper room? Call to mind, at length, with me that former night. I say thee to have come on. that night among the shades of former Classics. I will speak, not obscurely, into the upper rooms of the 01d College building. What you did there! What officers you elected! - What eloquent speeches you made! Did not the thunderbolts 01 Jove, himself, declare the wisdom of your decisions. The oratory of Spencer, the wit of Ferguson, the poetry of Coulter, do not they, they I say, show the height, the depth, the strength, the power of the Classic Class? O immortal gods. Where in the world are we? we live? What companions have we? There are persons here, here in our number, noble Classics, in this most sacred and most dignified assembly of the Hill, who may talk concerning the slowness, the slow- ness, yea verily, the slowness of the Classic Class. In what city d0 h50h Therefore, Classics, awake! Be on thy guard! G0 forth! Give to the world some of the thoughts which our beloved Dean has instilled into ourhearts. But we, brave Classics, seem to have done enough if we have con- quered the struggles of irregular verbs, the forty page thesis or burned midnight oil to understand the mysteries of trigonometry. But we, Classics, shall we forget the principles of Logic so care- fully worked out? Shall we forget the diamond or the berries and the rabbits which were hunted s0 assiduously? I pass over those ancient examples, the Odes, which are like the Irishma'nis Dictionary, Hmighty interesting but too shorty The Class has been, has been, is now in this University. We have had a DiXie lad, a fair Dahl and a Dexterous right hand to lead us on our way. But we, Classics, shall. we hear the reproach of being the slowest class on the Hill, shall we desiring to conquer the world with our pro- found knowledge of Greek, Latin and German, shall we allow this disgrace to rest upon us? That knowledge has been, and now is, in this Class is proved by one glance at the highbrows of its members. For we have a vehement and heavy decree against thee, O Classics, not the ponies, not the helps on examination day, not fair words will make thee reach thy goal, but the working, digging, the translating, and the thinking are not wanting in this class. We have made wonderful discoveries in the laboratories. We have fortified and strengthened our minds with Psychology, Political Economy and Ethics. We have begun to love the intricacies of Anglo- Saxon, of Fulda and of Tacitus. Since these things are so, Classics, proceed whither thou hast begun. Go out! Lead with thee, also, all thy associates, if not all, as many as possible! This day, noble Classics, this day marks the end of our long struggles, our long trials. We cannot be silent on this momentous oe- oasion. The joys, the hopes, the aspirations, who knows their height or depth! ' O noble Dean, the most honored head of this class, we thank thee, thank thee for thy kindly care, thy gentle admonitions. Thou hast led us safely, thou hast led us surely. Tho thou hatest costly garlands and perfumes yet thou art crowned, crowned with the hearts of these, thy children. i Classics! noble Classics! You have conquered the prescribed routine of this course. You have reached the goal toward which all - ambitions have been centered. May you so conduct yourselves that you will be remembered, remembered not for your gold, but for your valor, your fidelity and your Virtue. FOURTEEN YEARS HENCE. JAMES GARLAND FERGUSON. . x. OURTEEN years had passed since the graduating class of 1911 disbanded. The bells were resounding their mellow . strains and gentle chimes, over valley and. dale, as well as I the broad rolling prairies, ringing out the old year and ringing in the new. I was slumbering peacefully in my home at Denver, Colorado, only to be aroused by the breaking dawn of a newly christened year. It was truly an ending and a beginning; a farewell and a welcome. The strong howling winterewind broke the stillness of the night with an ominous sound. The once tumultuous and noisy streamlets, plunging over the steep proolivities, with their ir- regular and picturesque beds, were now changed into sheets of ice. The earth sleeping under a soft glistening blanket of snow was quite unlike the same earth which a few months ago was clothed in verdure. The beautiful magniiioent palaces were only white and stately monue mental scenes, while yonder woodlands loomed large and white in the distance. The lawns once a garden of flowers, giving off their fragrance alike to hoducarrier and aristocrat, were now cold and glistening snow- gardens. The majestic, deep vaults of blue were hidden from the Vision of man by the fleeting snow Clouds. No human eye could catch a Vision of the confluence of the earth and the walls of the vaulted canopy of heaven. Thus shut in from the outside influences of the world and disconnected from the commonplace things of this mundane sphere, as if dropped into a Utopian land, I had an inexplicable and mysterious reverie, not only fanciful but really a true product of the mind. In this attitude of mind, I saw the mystical curtain raised which had formerly severed me from the blind and unknowable future. In possession of this strange and peering power I had a splendid oppor- tunity of knowing and ascertaining with great accuracy and definite- ness what had become of each member of the Classic Class of 1911. Our renowned Quigley and LaRue, men of forethought, soberness and high sense of duty, have won the Worlds Championship in picking berries and catching rabbits, respectively. Their sole remuneration was berries and rabbits. LaRue, the second Louis Agassiz of America, has established a Zoological School on the island of Penikese and his laboratory is simply unique and prodigious. The Classics well remember the little smiling and talkative Miss Forman who was always so anxious to share life,s sorrows and burdens with our great Zoologist. She even staged the scene while in Political Economy. This fair maiden whispered mysterious truth into the tiny ears of her beloved and unforgotten. Thus far, I have found no scien- h52h tifie, psychological, metaphysical, 01 philosophical explanation of the daily show. However, I believe the combined opinion of the Classics Will agree With me When I say it was an interesting, miraculous, and automatic performance. Owing to the preoccupation of Quigley he has naturally a bent form, a graceful movement, a wrinkled forehead, eyes full of latent fury, and locks sprinkled With gray; yet, this laborious and unflinching character kept busily, persistently and diligently at work on his Berry Picking treatise, Which consists of two volumes. Miss Rink, a brilliant and tactful woman, foresaw the real signifi- cance of the Berry Picking treatise. She declares most emphatically that the treatise is a superior one. Her enthusiasm became absolutely un- controllable, and because of her profound interest and love for human- ity, she has translated, verbatim, both volumes into Latin; and instead of pondering over Sallust, Cicerots de Amicita, Tacitus, H0race7s Arts, Poetica and Odes, Einkis Translation of Quigleyts Berry Picking treatise Will be read in the future by the Classics of Valparaiso Uni.- versity. Unexpectedly, Hathaway, the unparalleled evangelist, has demon- strated t0 the world, by pointing out the mistakes of Robert Ingersoll, Thomas Paine and Voltaire, that he thinks conclusively and logically, and has written many magazine articles expatiating to humanity, in the UTeddy styleW 0n the faliaeious and hellaeious arguments of the Darwinian theory. Stephen Doak, a distinguished scientist, says, ttHathawayts logic has holes in iteit is pithy and porous; it leaks and is airy and most unreasonable and unreliableW Doak intends to prove to the people of Illinois that there is just as much fairness, truthfulness and honesty in the Hathawaian logic as there was in the election of Lorimer for United States Senator. Dr. Stasys Szafranauckas takes issue With Doak but intends to continue his lectures in the Valparaiso Medical College. His master- piece, almost equal to Bryasz ttPrinee 0f Peace,H is UBy Hiding Your Skin, You Skin Your HideW However, he has no assurance of making a hundred thousand dollars out of it. Senator Spencer of Tennessee, the orator, statesman, and one of Americas most infiuential Chautauqua lecturers, spends his leisure, while in D. 0., interviewing the German ambassadors, consuls, and min.- isters. The Germans are proud of Spencer for he speaks their language more eloquently and fluently than they. Recently, he had a letter from the Kaiser, inviting him to deliver an address in German, 011 NThe Divine Right of Kings,i, at Hamburg . Blackburn, the baby member of the Classic Ciass, after an experi- ence of fourteen years in the University of Hard knocks, believes that he has solved some of the hardest and toughest pessimistic and h53h optimistic mysteries of life. Two of those perplexing mysteries were: ttWhy is it that my big brother is so popular With the fair seXiW HHow can you tell When a lien has passed across the road? In the beautiful and peaceful city of ttSchools and Churchesf in Which our Alma Mater, known to the inhabitants of the four corners of the earth, is located, resides Miss thitloek, one of the generous and enthusiastic Classics of 1911, Who is now the queen of a beautiful home. She says that nowhere on this terrestial sphere can she be so comfort- able in living a strenuous life as in Valpo. Her literary style and ability are clearly and forcibly shown in her famous novel entitled, tt Hoosier Strenuosity. ,, As expected, the flying machine was perfected by Professor VVolon. He has spent weeks and months in getting the machine of the right order. The best universities of both the Orient and the Oocident have employed him to use his machine in carrying Professor Gudas from one institution to another, in order to give all the great educational centers an opportunity of being intouch with the greatest authority . on Latin that ever lived. He has introduced the Esperanto style, plus automobile speed and cradle ease, in interpreting and pronouncing Latin words. Misses Burke and Ford, Valparaiso Historians and Social Workers, have already won honor and distinction in each of the aforesaid iielgs of activity. Either surpasses Herodutus, the Father of History, in grace, vigor, and moral dignity. These brilliant, forceful and resource- ful writers have given to the students of history a Wide range of knowledge regarding the numerous happenings and moonlight strolls around Sageris pond. Miss Paty, a critic of note, says in substance, in her criticism of the aforesaid Historians, that there is a great philosophy in their work, for it touches life in so many different places. It is a marvelous work on Social Psychology. For the reader to grasp the situation, the human mind must travel every conceivable, imaginable and thinkable stage in development. The physical, intellectual, social, aesthetic, moral and religious aspects of life are each analyzed and synthesized. Malmstone, an A. 13., M. D., has attained success, for he has been for five consecutive years the Ophthalmologist, Otologist and Rhinolo- gist of the Ohio Penitentiary. In the meantime he has not lost interest in his Alma Mater for he has rendered a great service to the student body on College Hill by establishing a Public Bath House. Pa Kinsey says in his chapel talks that this is a splendid thing, and since it is the end of a term every one Will have ample time to clean up. Grandpa also says: UNow, there is a little expense attached to this;four cents per annum. You should save your money and become a full-fledged member of this bathing organization. I heartily recommend this to 1 every student. $54511 Miss Hawkins, a quiet and studious Classic 01' 1911, has developed into a famous poet and I wonder7 iW7X7110se letters she has been read- ing?17 Mother Dahl has had unusual success in the field of female educa- tion. She devotes the greater part of her attention to female culture and firmly believes in a thorough instruction in the feminine arts of sewing, knitting, and housekeeping, With additional discipline in the languages and literature. Lawrence Deak, an educator, holds companionship With Homer, Horace, Plato, Shakespeare, and Milton, not of course face to face, but he is in touch With the Nhighest and best,1 they left for us. Miss Thompson went on a crusade for W0man1s Suffrage and met With such overwhelming and astounding success that she is new president of the International Federation Of'Woman,s Rights. Knpke has achieved success as was expected. He is new president of a VVOInan,s College in Utah Which he practically built up himself, and the reports are that excellent work is being done. He has met With wonderful success in applying his theoretical methods of Ca1npns010gy.- He has been writing a series of articles on HHOW to Get the Funds for Founding a W01nan7s CollegeW Professor Kupke,s favorite book among college students is entitled, NSafe Counsel and Sweet Comfortfi Misses MeGloin and Keith, women of good native ability and possessed of a good stock of common sense, in connection With their scholarly attainments, are now instructors in the Kupke Woman,s Col- lege. The former is Professor of Ethics and Piano Tuning; the latter, of French and Domestic Science. Both are doing superior work. Clendenning, M. D., of Valparaiso Medical College, is now Professor of Pathology in the New York Polyelinie Medical School and is said to be one of the best authorities on Nosology and Morbid Anatomy. Coulter, Ph. D., of Cornell, a man of iihigh intellectual and moral endowments, marshals his words and phrases With superior excellence. He manifested his ability and power to handle the English language so well, by hammering to pieces the difficult constructions in Latin While in the Valparaiso University of 1911. Professor Coulterts ttCol- lege Poems, are found in all the libraries. He ranks With Oliver Wendell Holmes in his productions concerning college life. Cummings has made a great name for himself on account of his ability to refrain from dissipation and shun the germ-eaten Vices and destructive forces Which rob men and women of their most worthy jewel, namely: character. Unlike Emerson, he is a mathematical genius and, like Shailer Mathews, says much in a singe sentence. He polishes but at the same time leaves the kernel. His best essay has been trans- lated into thirty foreign tongues. It is on ttMarriage and Divoreef, Cummings is simply great on conundrums. On one occasion he said, ttProfessor Cloud, how can a gun kick? It has no legsW The Val- 55h. paraiso Physicist answered, ttVVhy, with its buttil Schwen, the manufacturer and engineer, has been a benefactor to Professor Carver, for he has given two heavy bronze doors for room six. And as a result no Classic can now escape during the hours of' recitation. He has for a number of years been superintendent of bridge building between the Moon and Mars. Sehwen says, mThe Moonites and Marites have no need for carriages and automobiles, for there they even use airships instead of freight trainsW Professor VVelty, the great entomologist 0f the Leland Stanford University, after a decade of experimentation in hug-laboratory, has proven conclusively, t0 the Scientific World, the essential difference between a ttWooly WornW and a ttTumble Bqu The professor says, first of all, the difference is in wool; and secondly, in employment. Sparks, instead of making a soldier as was expected in his college days, has married and resumed his work quietly and unostentatiously 0n the farm, in Missouri, where he has been using his sabers to fight mules instead of foreign foes. Judge Dexter launched his political ship on the turbulent sea of Idaho politics in the year one thousand nine hundred and eighteen, A. D., and was elected to the office of Gov- ernor 0n the Prohibition ticket. His success is largely at- tributed to his ability to present to his constituents clearly, . forcibly, and logically the real worth of the planks in the platform he was so heartily voicing. The editors of the various papers in com- menting 0n the success of the ttBig Prohibitionistf said that he was elected because he believed in the ttSquare Dealh; because he was hon- est; because of his wonderful success in securing the votes of the suffragettes between the ages of 21 and 95. Thus far, I have spoken of the individual members of the Class. Now, I think it is both proper and fitting that I should briefly speak of the Class as a whole. Fourteen years have elapsed since we were initiated into lifels work and without a single exception each Classic has , stood with a iirm, unflinching and determined purpose. All have striven to be of high credit to their beloved Dean, Alma Mater, associates and themselves. Their predominant inclination has always been to do right to perform justly and judiciously the duties of life. The Classics have ever stood as an areh-enemy against Vice and crime and have been advocators and defenders of honesty, purity, integrity and righteous- ness; voicing such elements of morality as will help men and women to live a better, richer and worthier life and be men and women of Superior manhood and womanhood. With these stainless, sterling, matehless, and aspiring qualities of manhood and womanhood their lives will add lustre, glory and luminous truth to the prolific pages of history whose memory, prestige and influence the storms and floods of all future years can never blow 0r wash away. FINIS. h56h MAN, HIS PLACE AND POWERS. I. C. SPENCER. vHEN the dawn of existence first breaks upon man, he finds I, himself the happy possessor of the wonders and complexities 1 h; of this mysteriously, yet magnificently created universe. Above him, he gazes With admiration upon the charming majesty of the architectural heavens in Whose distant and silent iields of blue, revolve undisturbed myriads 0f suns and constella- tions. But Where the mind wanders, there we may go, too, on the Wings of thought. Let us descend With it into the depths. 1n the spiral revolutions of this cosmic plan floats our own sun With an in conceivable rapidity, only a small fixed star among the limitless and luminous clusters of the beautiful orbs. Following this glowing body, and in a certain relation to it, are small bodies, among Which is the earth. The earth also follows the great law, that vibrates throughout the planetary systein,eit moves. As Goethe has said in his Faust: ttAnd swift and swift beyond conceiving, The splendor of the world goes round, Dayle Eden-brightness still relieving, The Awful night7s intense profoundll The earth does not shine of itself, but is illumined only when the eil'ulgent bars of the distant and radiant sun are swept to it, over mil- lions of miles of limitless and measureless space. Such is the place and home of man, the comprehensive crown of all adjustments, Whose im- agination, pillowed 0n the fleeting Wings of fancy, sings in accents unsurpassed of the glories of his paradise, who With his unconquerable weapon of reason, has severed the deathly chains of ignorance and superstition, and Who With his mighty trans-Atlantie steamers ploughs the watery depths, looks into the shining vaults above, reading the time, and Who, With his electric seareh-light makes radiant his path in the darkest and stillest hours. In physical form and structure, he is closely allied, and is zoolog- ieally classified With the mammalia. Were it not for his wonderful mental endowments, he would rank very low in the ascending scale of animals, for nature did not provide for him the strength of a lion, nor even a covering to protect his body from the chilling breezes 0f the Winter, nor the scorching heat of a tropical sun in the midsummer. To all animals below man, nature lends a willing and helping hand by implanting in them, blind, yet strong, impulses by Which they are able to adjust themselves to the external world. But to this master of w... n57in the intellectual world, whose life is more complicated, and whose en- vironment is ever-changing, she withdraws her guiding power, and leaves him to struggle, and work out his own destiny, to soar or fall, to live or die. Though in physical capacities he may not excel, still his wonderful mental endowment, his power to trace out cause and ef- fect, his unsatisfied and ceaseless mental hunger for knowledge, com- bined with his progressive characteristics and tendencies, make him the crowning glory of all creation. In the language of Shakespeare: tWi71121't a piece of work is man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehen- sion how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animalsli, This mental hunger has increased the aspirations of 'man, thereby enriching and making fuller the possibilities of a better and more sublime life. As Browning has said: ktProgress, mants distinctive mark alone. Not Godts not the . beasts God is, they are. Man partly is, and wholly hopes to heft Progress has ever been due to Vigorous, energetic and brainy men, who have led, directed and organized human society. Since the curtain first rose on the stage of time, we have no record of a people, however low they may have been in the stage of human development, but who had a great propensity towards looking into those problems and mysteries which were unknown to them, and seemingly insolvahle. Paleolithic man, though the cave was his only home, the roaming beasts, the timid fish, and the wild herbs, his only sustenance, asked himself: ttWhat am I in the presence of summer and winter, of pain and joy, of life and deathfw Here, in his silent and solemn meditations, he began to solve those problems which were incomparably powerful and useful to him. Silently he gazed into the cloudless clearness 0f the heavens and observed the motion of the countless burning stars. From these luminous and distant bodies the glance went on, and farther out. It was at this time, in the profound stillness and gloom of night, amid the savagery of these nomadic and untutored peoples, that the solution of great philosophical problems began, problems which have enabled him to conquer both heaven and earth. One of the most remarkable attributes of this giant, man, and one which so nobly characterizes him from the lower animals, is his un- satisfied nature. The oriole builds its nest, the beaver constructs its dam, the bee stores its honey as they did thousands of years ago, neither forgetting nor improving. But man is a producer and an improver. Though, oftentimes, it has cost him his life, he has bravely and eagerly launched into the field of discovery and invention. This man, who once dwelled in the cave, poorly clad, with his rude and crude customs, whose n58t bow and arrow was his only weapon of defense, and who thought his home was Closed in by the arched dome, now lives in bounteous luxury in his dazzling palaces, and travels from the remotest parts of the world, Visiting thriving cities with their hustle and bustle, where once there were only impenetrable jungles. Today, manls home is the world. a What no animal below him has endeavored to do, man has done. Struggling for a higher existence, amid the unsolved problems of this world before which all life had bowed in fear, man has analyzed and synthesized. For in man a higher power has arisen, a power that has in it the capacity of producing and constructing. The lightning, which had caused the animal kingdom to flee in frantic terror, man siezed and imprisoned with the firm hand of an investigator,- and lighted with it the humble cottage and the busy city; with the microscope and tele- scope, he is able to see those things hidden from the natural eye. He even wanders in thought through the solar system, formulating its laws. , But when we consider the advances and advantages of this marvel- ous civilization, over that of the helpless savage in his state of nature, we are to understand, that it has been gained not through individual effort alone, but because man is a social being, a worker, oo-worker, learner, teacher and a companion. Having the power of registering and transmitting knowledge obtained in one generation, he leaves to his posterity a priceless and glorious legacy, without which the steady ade vanoement of mankind would be impossible. He has introduced a division of labor, which has ever been the guiding star of human pro- gress. In such an association, one stands for all, and all, for one. Here we see new faculties unfold themselves, a great saving of time, a con- centration of strength, and an increase of total activity and boundless progress. Then, this being, with his many virtues, and with his power to wander in the past ere this globe was, and to peer into the future, when it will cease to exist, what problems and mysteries are there, that he will not ultimately conquer and solve? Mk. ADDRESS. H. N. CARVER. lives as related to the public life of the time. The limitations of the occasion, aided by your calls for ttoopyj7 make any- , thing more than a syllabus out of the question; and I wish you to think of what I say, as only suggestions for lines of thought to be followed out, when you shall have that leisure which I hope you may find, but which I am certain you have not found this past year. We have come upon one of those transitional periods that every growing people encounter every twenty or twenty-live years. What the outcome of the encounters shall be, whether helpful or harmful to the people, always depends upon circumstances. Indeed, if the intervals between them are too longeand I donlt know what interval is too long, perhaps my statement is a sort of hysteron-proteron, a putting of the cart before the l10rse,-but if they are too long, there is stagnation; if they never come, there is arrested development, and very soon retro- gression, decay, and death. If they come at too short intervals, before the national life has adjusted itself and the new conditions have become easy, comfortable, and reasonably prophetic of the future; or if they are only the outcomes of a thoughtless, wild-eyed passion for change, a mere impulse to escape from the ache of the present evil, there is practical anarchy, and there will speedily be decay and death or what is worse, Mexicanization of the national life. The thirty or thirty-five years immediately following the Civil War make one of the most remarkable periods of our history. The amount of a certain kind of work done, the number of a certain kind, of ends reached and of aiins realized were astonishing. But that period was a thoroughly materialistic one, where the littest, that survived, were only the Nietzschean fittest. It was the age of cutthroat competition where almost everyone made the rule of his life the Horatian sentiment, Noeoupet extreinuin Scabies! nihi turpe relinqui estlladevil catch the hindmost! it is disgraceful for me to be left behind. And the devil did catch a good many of the hindinost, and some of us are beginning to think now, that the scars of his horns and spiked tail may be seen on the flanks of the foremost in that race. It was a time, when many able and honest men believed, that the safest way to pay off our enormous national debt was to set the Treasury printing presses to pouring out tons of irredeeinable paper money; and they convinced themselves that the best currency for our domestic uses was one framed without any n60n regard to our foreign relations. They thought that an excessively heavy tariff could be levied upon imports, and the foreign manufacturer would obligingly pay it. They imagined that the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 would benefit the workingman as well as the mine owner. They thought it more than probable, that if the nation would buy in the markets four or five million ounces of silver every month, it would keep the value of the bullion in the silver dollar equal to that in the gold dollar. They held that the government should make loans at low rates of interest to farmers and stockrnen, taking liens upon crops not yet harvested and herds not yet ready for the markets. There was hardly a conceivable economic vagary, that was not hatched, exploited, and thrown upon the market; and, if there were time, I could show you, that the period was just as rich in political, social, and religious vagaries. But the period came to end in some shape. The tumult and the shouting largely died; the lion and the lamb managed in some way to lie down together, though some have suspected all along, that the lambts slumbers were all functioned on the inside of the lion. Well, it may be, but I hardly think it was so tragic as all that. I am pretty well assured that the past eighteen or twenty years have been an im- provement upon the preceding ones. There has been distinctly less of the cutthroat competition. Never was so large a percentage of the people well-olothed, well-housed, well-fed; never was the economic goods of life so abundant or so easy to obtain. And these are the basic itgoods of life. Without them, or with a poor supply, human life cannot be, or will be little more than the beasts life. There have been vastly fewer failures, vastly less suffering and sorrow; fewer work- ingrnen begging for bread, fewer hungry women and children, though there are altogether too many even now. Fewer men of the Jim Fisk, and Jay Gould, and Sidney Dillon type have a controlling influence in the vital industries. If you wish to find their survivals, you must look in your bueket-shops, or among the ward-politieians of your cities, or the. leaders of some of your Labor Unions. Now, as I understand the situation, a very large share of these most desirable changes have come simply because the economic energies of the country have been so largely centralized and placed under the direction of honorable and intelligent men. Safe banks have gathered up the small and unproductive savings, have invested thein safely, and made them productive. The large aggregations thus made possible have made possible large production, and this in turn has made possible lower prices. Any sane man, and I think I may say any sane woman, can clothe himself decently and comfortably with far less cost than he could fifty years ago. The consolidations, too, have done for the nation what was done two or three thousand years ago for the nomadic tribes when they h61h stopped wandering, settled down, found permanent homes, added min- ing and agriculture to their pasturage, and found opportunities for leisure, without which nothing worth calling progress can be made. And this is one of the desiderata of the times. Our public and private life has been for years little more than a yelling, screaming, frenzied stren- uosity. We need a breathing-spell, a time to get our reckonings. to make out what shores are ahead, what the landing is going to be. And, so, I think we may express in a summary way the final good that has come from these changed economic conditions, in some such fashion as this: The consolidations have minimized the evils of competition; they have eheapened and diversified a very important class of what I like to call the toolstt of living; and have increased the possibilities of leisure, by which term I designate the opportunities for sober thought about the new and higher possibilities of life. And these considerations make it evident, I think, that the consolidations are perfectly normal developments and have a permanent place in the ongoings of the national life. Their destruction is impossible, their control indispensible. But the undesirable things connected with their working are abuses, not evils inherent in the organizations themselves; they come from the weakness, or folly, or Viciousness of the men who manage them, often goaded on by the like qualities of competitors, and aCcentuated by the same things vaguely diffused through the whole social life of the community. Of course, in effecting the consolidations, there has been a vast amount of the coarse, brutal ways, that are sometimes called the ways of Nature, manifested in the Darwinian natural selection, that was so dear to the heart of that crazy genius, Friedrich Nietzsche, and that do have a grain of reality in them, but ways that Huxley, thoroughgoing evolutionist that he was, said we must combat. Yet I think there has been gain even there, at least in the national aspects of the matter. Our nationls treatment of Spain, and the Philippines, and Cuba seems to me conclusive of that. The real trouble appears to lie in the fact, that we have grown rich faster than we have grown civilized, have grown wealthy faster than We have learned how to make wise uses of the wealth. Such parts of the wealth as could be incorporated into a vast permanent structure, like the Marshall Field establishment, or even Mr. Rockefellerls Standard Oil, or Mr. Carnegiets iron mills, or any such permanent affairs, seem not only reasonably harmless, though im- perfeot, but indispensible to the high general standard of comfort that we have reached. The real dangers lie in the excess, the part that has never been incorporated into an institution that is a component of the common life of the time. It does seem that great sums, like those Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Carnegie have invested in their Institutes and Foundations, ought to bring only credit to the investors and help to the community. I am doubtful whether they have thus far done either? nggn and on a priori grounds I should not expect either for two or three generations to come. I think the governmental authorities did wisely, when they declined Mr. Rookefelleris last request. But the trouble is not in the endowment, in the wealth, but in the men who manage, who administer, the endowment. ttThe fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselvesW There is one of the beautitudes in the Sermon on the Mount, that is something of a puzzle to maethe one about the meek, and their inheritance. My wonder is not caused by anything in the beautitude itself, for I believe it is as much a law of the universe as are the laws of mechanics, but I have never heard, or heard of, a sermon that was preached from it as a text; I have never seen it quoted in a work on ethics. I think our preachers and ethical writers must take a ttmeek 1112111,, to be a itinilkelivered manf, as Goneril called Albany, or a ttdougthfaceR7 as Randolph of Roanoke called the northern Congress- men who made themselves the apologists of slavery. But there is nothing in the Greek word to suggest any such meaning. I am not certain about the root meaning of the word, praos, but it is always used as a term antithetio to other words whose root-meanings I think I knowe to agrios, from the same root as our acre and agriculture, and meaning belonging to the fields, wild, without law; or to orgilos, from the same root as our work, and meaning move, have irritability, the primordial property of organic matter. And so the praos aner is simply the man who does not live in the fields, is not wild and lawless; or is not the one of unguided impulse, thiek-skinned, a hustler, shoved by a blind push. Dr. Adam Clark, the great Greek scholar and noble man, says our splendid old English word, gentleman, is an excellent equivalent of the Greek word. Let me read you a passage that is somewhat long, but one that I wish you to hear. It is a part of the resolutions passed by the Bar of the Circuit Court of Richmond in 1835 upon the death of Chief J ustioe Marshall. The resolutions recalled the memory of the venerable judge who, for thirty-four years, tthad presided over the court with such remark- able diligence in office, that until he was disabled by the disease which removed him from life, he was never known to be absent from the bench, during term time, even for a day, with such indulgence to counsel and suitors, that everybodyts convenience was consulted but his own, with a dignity sustained without effort, and apparently without care to sustain it, to which all men were solicitous to pay due respectewith such profound sagaoity, such quick penetration, such aouteness, olearness, strength, and comprehension of mind, that in his hands the most complicated causes were plain, the weightiest and most difficult, easy and lightewith such striking impartiality and justice, and a judgment so sure, as to inspire universal confidence, so that few appeals were ever taken from his decisions, and those only in cases h53- where he himself expressed doubt,-with such modesty that he seemed wholly unconscious of his own gigantic powersewith such equanimity, such benignity of temper, such amenity of manners, that not only none of the judges who sat with him on the bench, but no member of the bar, no officer of the court, no juror, no witness, no suitor, in a single instance, ever found or imagined in anything said or done, or omitted by him, the slightest cause of offensefi Now, I have quoted this for two reasons,afirst, because it is the best commentary I can think of upon what the great Teacher had in mind when he spoke the beatitude; and second, because I want you young gentlemen to put the life of Marshall in your libraries, and to read it till you know it and love it. And it will do you young ladies, too, no harm to know that great and lovable character, for his home-life was as beautiful as his public life was fruitful of good to our country. Sometime it may be as well worth your while to know such a man as he, as you think it now worth your while to know what a plant, or a frog, or a molecule, or a logarithm, or a pieture-hat, or an automobile is. And that brings me to the last matter that I care to InentionF-our own relations as individuals to the changing times. I have no large confidence in the corrective virtues of the Sherman law. It seems to me very much like the laws sometimes enacted against usury,alaws that never do any good and often add to the total of evil that the people must bear. If any one believes that the breaking up of the Standard Oil into competing groups of its constituent companies will lower the price of oil, I see no ground for the belief. Indeed, the dream which comes to some pillows, that such dissolution is possible, seems to me only what J ohn J . Ingalls used to call a barren ideality, though I be- lieve J ohn used a qualifying adjective which I will not take the space to write. If anyone thinks that the imprisonment of some of the of- ficials of that and other eVil-doing companies will clarify our political and social atmosphere, I must again venture to doubt. No doubt they would be getting only what was coming to them; but I am more anxious to get what is coming to me, than to see them get their own. Milton said long ago, ttThough you take from a oovetous man all his treasure, he has yet one jewel left; you cannot bereave him of his covetousness. You will simply pay the conviot'is expenses for a few months or years, and when he comes out, he will probably be tttwoefold more the Child of hellW than when he went in. He will be certain to vote for Mr. Lorimer; or he will reform, Billy Sunday will convert him, and he will become a new Billy, and go on the platform, and we will all pay fifty cents to be entertained with his words and his presence. It will be futile, too, to expect the imprisonment to have any deterrent effect upon the other muscles, and bones, and nerves wrapped in the same sort of a hide. He will say, there was no use in looking for anything better from that bunch which housed at 26 Broadway; he would like to see n64: them catch him, or keep him in the penebah! and he will try something just a little more daring and nagitious to let you see what a really oom- petent man can do. No, no; if we are going to do any purifying, as we are pleased to call it, we must go lower down, than the ones Hhigher upil; we must get down to ourselves, to the voters who make the officials; ourselves, who do not make public opinion, but who are the public opinion. We must see to it, not only that the public official does no dishonorable thing, but that we do not require of him a dishonorable. thing. If we are careful to place in office able men, who were never in the market for sale; if we never lick the boots of those whose only successes are dishonorable, or triyial, successes, and give hearty credit to those who do, in un- ostentatious ways, great things that are honorable to themselves and helpful to all, the occupations of the Othellos of Wall Street and the carrion-Ikites who scream over the stench of the place, will largely be gone, and forever. It is sometimes said that a great enterprise cannot be managed without many undesirable attendant circumstances; and I entirely agree. The world is not paradise, and I know by bitter experi- ence how hard it is to manage even a small matter and keep free from what is undesirable, or worse. But I do not see how there can be any palliative circumstances for a very large part of the nauseating at- tendants of so much of our practical life. The vastest business under- taking that our Government ever went into, unless it was the business of the War Office, under that Titan, Edwin M. Stanton, is the Panama Canal. The work goes on steadily, rapidly, and its quality is of the highest; and disinterested parties who have looked over it thoroughly say it is very doubtful whether any other work of like magnitude was ever carried on with so little of what is inefficient and unclean. Every dollar that the Government puts into it gets what it paid for, there is no boodling, or grafting, or any of that eontemptible tribe of Vices. If some petty attempt is made, the offender is pretty sure to be caught, and is summarily promoted to the ehain-gang, or shipped back to the States, where his talents find room for their exercise. And all this, which is so creditable and of such good report for our country, is brought about solely, because at .the head of the work is a man of great ability, of great practical accomplishments, of great honesty, and the finest personal honor. He is always right there on the ground, attending to The J ob, as he calls it, with no side-lines to add a penny to his modest salary. Every Sunday morning he holds a sort of court, where all the lower grades of workmen come and present their grieve anees; and I doubt whether there is any other court in the world in which a more even-handed justice is dispensed,ethe lowest and poorest- paid has just the same chance, as the highest and best-paid. Some of the better ones of the public press are looking hopefully for the effects upon the public service, when the young men, trained under him, shall h65h come back to the Pandemonium of our civic life. The only criticism I have for Colonel Goethals is, I am afraid his splendid management of the great work may make too many of our citizens think, that no great enterprise is in safe hands unless they are the hands of those educated at West Point or Annapolis and Who wear the uniform of the United States. That is the solidest argument for socialism, that I know, and I am afraid of it. Now, for yourselves: dontt make too much of your grades; I am always sorry, When, at the distributing of the cards, I see any one showing his cards, or trying to see the cards of another. Be proud of them, Whether high or only passing, if they were obtained in an honorable way and represent honorable work; but think What your grade in Geometry would have been, if your competitor, Who set the standard, had been one Isaac Newton; or in Biology, one Charles Dar- win; or in those rhetorical exeroitations, Which you worked out With such care for the delectation, or the soporification, of Mr. Williams or Mr. Kinsey, one William Shakespeare or Edmund Burke. Dontt try to make your diploma Win you credit. The only hit of sheepskin that can do that is the bit you carry on your shoulders. If you attempt to make the tanned affair Hpluck bright honorH for you, the untanned Will become a shirt of Nessus and will burn you to the bones. About the most charming thing in the long life of Herbert Spencer is,-When he became famous, the Universities almost outdid themselves in their eagerness to confer titles upon him. But he modestly and oourteously put them all aside. Look into any one of his great books; there are no titles With his name on the title-page. It is simply The Principles of this, or that, by Herbert Spencer. He expected no honor from the book; he made the book immortal. That is the way I hope you may do. By your service and your character put bright honor upon your di- plorna. The world you must live in is a'rushing, tumultuous thing; it Will often be hard and repulsive; but, if you Will let them find you, many noble ministries Will come to you; many noble oomradeships, of the noble living and the noble dead; many charming intimacies, of rock, and hill, and stream, of fruit, and flower, and tree7 of friendships that never fade, and trusts that never betray. Go out into that world, and ttquit you like Inenll-but let it always be gentle-rnen and gentle- women,hrnen and women of the gens, With Whom and to whom you can be both kin and kind. -66- $$X' T!

Fellow Classmates, Ladies and Gentlemen: i n4 FEW more days and we shall have passed from the world of ' 34 college life into the great stern world of realities, many of us . taking our first college degree. Some of us will turn our thoughts and 0111' soulls ambition to the problems of the present day, while others will remain in this University or go elsewhere to continue the search for the great truths in science, to dig deeper into the problems of mathematics, to work out with more eer- tainty the foreign languages, or better still, to make more perfect the aesthetic side of life through the study of literature. But there will never be another day like this. This is the day of the beginning as well as the beginning of the ending. As I stand here, I wonder if our fore-fathers of a century ago did not pass through a day similar to this, with hopes no brighter, with prospects no more encouraging; or is it true as some of our misguided friends would have us believe, that the heroic age is past and that there is nothing for us to do worthy of the history of our long lineage? I answer, ttNoY, We face the same great world, our call. to duty is just as strong and we go forth seeking the same common end. But our psychologists, physiologists and sociologists frequently eX- plain to us that maneand especially womaneis undergoing a trans- formation. Neither in our work nor in our play are we the same beings we were only a few years ago. They tell us our churches are social functions, and our colleges are athletic clubs. But can we listen to the merry laughter of children as they play upon the streets, can we look upon their bright and happy faces without recalling to memory fond recollections of the happy days of our childhood and without feeling that we, too, were once as they? Surely We are the same beings, though perhaps with hopes not quite so bright as then, with lips not so pure and innocent, with a conscience not so clear, with a heart not so free from care and sorrow, with a spirit not so gay, because we have par- taken of some of the worldls so-ealled pleasures which bring sorrow and unrest to the soul. Nominally, of course, we have changed but little. America is still a republic in the school histories, and love is still the prime motive in magazine stories. As we have met today under the auspices of an institution of learn- ing, I would not be forgiven if I failed to pay to it the tribute cherished in the heart of each member of this class. The influences thrown about us here will go with us through life. No one can measure a school from an inspection of its examination papers; the conception of life which the graduate carries away must be counted in estimating the benefits h116h conferred. I am sure, as we go forth from this Institution, none of us can look back with regret except for our own shortcomings, but feel that we are better prepared for society,s work and for citizenship. My friends, we are soon to have a different instructor, one who will not deal with us with the same patience and kindness as those whom we have been under for thehpast year and longer, but one whose rule is harsh, whose tasks are heavy and who will not have the same indulgence for the broken rule. ttThe world is soon to be our school, experience our teacher, and nothing but life can be our lesson. I presume that most of us will engage in some kind of business whether it be along commercial lines, the professions, or the callings. For is it not true that every person is engaged in business who cone tributes anything to the world, either by brain or muscle, and is he not a necessary factor in the worlds progress? Perhaps no time ever of- fered better opportunities along all lines of work than the present and I am sure each member of this Class hears the call. That call may be to solve the mystery that has confronted the world for the siX thousand years of its recorded history-the thing we see in every blade of grass and yet, know it not,-the mystery of life. Or it; may be to solve the problem of the proper distribution of the annual proceeds of the worlds toil. Or it may be to wrap the banner of peace around the earth and write your name upon it. We are here today from most every State in the Union and from many nations. No doubt we are looking forward with much eagerness to the time when we are permitted to return to our respective homese for does not the love of ones own state or country show the highest eX-- altation of all the tenderest and strongest sympathies of kindred and of home. Today we enjoy by choice or by inheritance, the freedom of American citizenship. May we not be unmindful of the duties thereby imposed. Ladies, permit me to say a word more direct to you, and in search for words with which to pay this tribute, I can think of none that more adequately express the real influence of woman than the words of Tennesseeis martyred statesman, Edwin W. Oarmack, when he said, ttIt is not the throned and sceptered king, it is not the dark statesman with his midnight lamp, it is not the warrior grimed With smoke and stained with blood, it is the queen of the home who under God rules the destinies of mankind. There is the center from which radiates the light that never fails. I say to you that the sweetest wisdom of this world is a woman,s counsel, and the purest altar from which human prayer ever went to heaven is a motherls kneefl 1117.1 CLASS POEM 1911 H LITTLE band of workers bold, Here,s to your health tonight; A toast to your souls,enot With Wine, But water ghething White.

IRMA VON MOLTKE LAOKEY. e120e HISTORY OF THE SCIENTIFIC CLASS OF 1911. CLARENCE J. DAY. VISTORY has to deal much with facts and events. If too many facts are presented in an uninteresting way it is considered : dry, and if the writer attempts to embellish his material with l chosen words and phrases he is accused of using tine language. Realizing his limitations in attempting to write such a record as will preserve the memory of this Soientiiio class of 1911 for all time, the writer here relates, as well as his mind can recollect, their plain, unvarnished history. It would, indeed, prove an interesting subject if the history of each member of the class could be written in detail, but such a variety of ages is represented that some of the history would be ancient, some mediaeval, and some modern; hence, it would be impossible to combine it all under one head; and, besides, the writer has limited space as well as capacity for such an extended treatise. The history of this illustrious class began at no definite time. From the time of their various entrances upon the scene of action they just hustled and crowded along, obtaining one credit after another until finally Professor Kinsey called them all together on Thursday evening, Oct. 27, 1910, in Room 0, and announced that they were now in their senior year. He stated if they were faithful students that when August came, provided they did not ttflunkt7 anything, their longed-for diplomas would be given them. What joy! to be a senior without having to pass through the humiliating periods of being a freshman, sophomore, or junior. With modest diffidenoe this band of one hundred and fifty-three loyal Scientilics resigned themselves calmly to their fate, trusting to the powers that be for guidance and protection during the year. Many have followed the straight and narrow path of knowledge, but alas a few have dropped by the wayside or have un- fortunately been put in that glass receptacle with an air-tight lid ttfrom whose bourne no traveler returnsi, Of the number who started on this steep, rugged path of knowledge, one hundred and thirty-iive are still pressing forward to the goal, and at least one hundred and twenty-iive will receive their degrees. This is the largest class ever graduated from Valparaiso University. They gathered here from all parts of the world. Nearly every country, na- tion and tongue has a representative among its number. Each state in the Union has likewise contributed its best citizens until, like the great nebula of the starry blue vault above, they have centered about this institution as a light of knowledge; and, reflecting their light, Val- paraiso University has been made to appear as one of the brightest spots of learning in our land. And now having absorbed some of this reflected knowledge, this strong, intelligent class is going out into the e-121- world in a quiet, unassuming way to make more history for itself and its alma mater. For a long time the class seemed to lack life, but when the base ball season opened, a little class spirit was born and it soon developed into a lusty youngster full of fight, enthusiasm and noise. It was this same little youngster which spurred the gladiators of the bat on to Victory. Their work has been successfully done under the management of Barnes. The first man to make a score was Walsh; and, when he later received his promotion to the pitchers box, he proved that with the admirable support of the rest of the team and the class he could Iinish that which he started. The principal contest of the season oc- curred May 13th, 1911, when the defenders of the blue and gold en- countered the Pharinies and Medics on the field of battle. The opponents had long boasted of their superiority and were confident of Victory. The Seientifies, modest and diffident, just waited and when the game was fairly started, at the critical moment, they began to show their mettle. Every man who wielded the stick had a girl watching him and the encouraging yells of the Seientiiics which completely drowned the feeble cries of the Papa and Mamma boys spurred him on to help win the contest. Excitement ran high while honors were about even, but when Korby made a brilliant home run the nerves of the opponents began to fail, and with defeat staring the Medics in the face, Victory was with the blue and gold. The ranks of the fans of the opponents grew silent, then sullen, and then they attempted to rush the Scientific ranks but were successfully repulsed. The opponents fell back broken in spirit while cries of Victory swelled from the throng of triumphant Scientifies. The Pharmiesl and Mediesl proud boast of superiority had failedand the Scientifies were acknowledged victors in strength, noise and ball playing. The Class showed their appreciation of the admirable work of the base ball team by giving them a banquet the next day; but, better than that, they continued to give their hearty support at every game. The result of the excellent work of the base ball team coupled with the support of a class full of enthusiasm has been, that the Seien: tilies this year possess the coveted pennant. The class has had few social functions. Only one social was held. This occurred the iirst term of the year and was a thoroughly enjoyable affair. Under the guidance of Stephen Doak, who was then the class president, they first made each others acquaintance socially. Many flI'IIl friendships were begun, and if the future can be judged by the past, there are indications that some of those friendships bid fair to develop into stronger unions. Here is where private history would be interest- ing but the writer is pledged to secrecy in such matters, for Lawrence Doak, Rittenhouse, Lytton, Nance, Hamilton, and others made special requests that nothing be said about them, and to break onels word of honor is, indeed, an unpardonable offenSe. The climax of all social e122a functions of the class, anyway, are at the close, so the banquet and events of the trip to Lake Maxin-kuckee will long remain written in the scroll of their remembrance. The class has been very willing to recognize any special ability or eccentricity of its members. As soon as it was discovered that J ohn Eble was as noisy and as fat as Falstaff, he was promptly chosen yell master and he has been yelling and growing fatter ever since. Parrill was second noisest, so he was chosen assistant to support Eble when he be- came too wheezy. Miss Lackey developed such an amazing ability to write poetry about anyone, any time, or any place, that she was chosen on short notice to compose the class poem. Our Orator was chosen because he is such a Marvel in speaking and his head is a fountain of light which radiates to all around him. Murrayls gentle voice was so popular with the ladies that they did not even give one dissenting vote at his election for President. The class discovered also that one member was capable of keeping money without spending- a cent of it and s0 Littlejohn was elected Treasurer. Because Miss Benedict was so expert with the pen and had such a winning way she was chosen for Secretary. The other officers of the year were chosen principally because they did not want the oflice, but let it be said to their honor that each one has dis- charged his duty faithfully. In order to obtain their degrees the members of this body of students have had to pass through a variety of experiences, which reads almost like a fable. They have passed with B. F. through the depths of Mil- ton ls hell and up through Chaos to Paradise. Others have traveled with Bennett over the rough and rocky roads of Geology, and although sorely laden and oppressed by examinations, they have not resorted to the use of the forbidden equine which tempted them so much in days of examination. Others have seen VVeerns Ntake a dog7l and in imagina- tion dissect it before their eyes, and when they recited have been marked ttBookW They have soared into the heavens with Bogarte only to take a fall at examination time. The class has developed no prodigies of learning; but, taken as a whole, has developed into a body of intelligent, faithful students whose principal aim in after life will be to make history more real and inter esting than ever they have formed here. The rigid discipline to which they have subjected themselves, the trials and discouragements through which they have passed, combined with the wholesome teaching which they have received, have combined to refine the dross of all their natures and make them better fitted to meet the vicissitudes of life. This short rambling account of the history of the class hardly suf- fices to preserve the memory of such a body, but the time spent here was short and the future into which they now go is longnso long that the history of its members must be completed by some future historian who will finish the work which here started. nggn PROPHECY OF THE SCIENTIFIC CLASS OF 1911. ELLEN M. MOLINDER. v a ,, ATE one autumn evening, in the year 1930, a sad faced woman t wandered aimlessly upon the streets of a small Village in southern California. Her shoes were covered with dust and 3 her eyes had a far-away 100k. She appeared to be a stranger, for she greeted only a few of those whom she met. Finally she entered a cottage and seated herself in an arm chair, which stood beside a large table in the center of the room. She picked up several of the books but listlessly replaced them again. A brownish book now attracted her attention. A faint smile spread over her features as if greeting an old friend. She turned several pages and scanned closely the faces portrayed. As the sun sank slowly below the horizon, taking with it the light of day, the faces one by one vanished from her sight leaving her alone to dream. She seemed to be in a city; crowds of people came before her, some of whom she recognized with difliculty. She saw the familiar names of Rittenhouse and Hamilton on the plate glass of a large store window, and upon entering, was met by Fern Finley and Vinnie Denny. She did not tarry to ask whether they had joined the firm, but nodded and passed on. In the rear of the store, she saw Mr. Sehaffer bending over the book-keeperis desk and Miss Cobbis beaming face beside him. In the music department, she found Evangeline Baldwin playing the piano, while Ralph Fleming was singing to her accompaniment. At the various counters, she saw Vera Corder and Greta Benton purchasing their wed- ding trousseaus. This somewhat astonished her, for she remembered distinctly how popular they had been when in college, and supposed they had long since fallen victim to Cupidis shafts. She left the store and in looking for a place to eat, saw the shingles of Isaiah Fetterhoff, Lawyer; Ira Funkhouser, Dentist; Dr. and Mrs. Conn, Physicians and Surgeons. She soon found a rest room, and as she entered, Isabelle Smithis smiling face greeted her. Miss Smith handed her the evening paper in which she read the following adver- tisements: Wanted, a housekeeper; party must be young, neat and attractive, work easy, pay good, with a chance for promotioneLaurenee Doak. Wanted, position as singer. Can sing either sacred, vaudeville or classic selections. Day or night service; reasonable charges John Eble. The old woman7s thoughts went back to VVhoop-skip, Rah-zip, while she tried to picture J ohn Falstaff in his new vocation. As she was thus occupied, strains of music came in through the open window, and on looking out she observed a Salvation Army ap- proaching led by Clarence Day, Charles Dewey, Walter Laurence and Clyde Lytton. Among the followers, she recognized Grace Olson, Marie e124e Puls, Walter Graham, Agatha Karnauskas, George Fite, Helen Hoffman, Bay Blackburn and Bromwell Holford. It pleased her greatly that theSe young people had consecrated their lives to such a worthy cause. The old woman had by this time rested and again resumed her way. She had gone but a short distance when she noticed a crowd of people in front of a large building. J oining these she soon learned that they were waiting for the returns from the recent election. In a short time it was announced that Conway Blackburn had. been elected speaker of the House, and Harry Helman representative from his district. She was not much surprised as she had heard of their growing popularity. As she was endeavoring to make her way out of the crowd, the day seemed to grow suddenly brighter. In trying to ascertain the cause, she observed two familiar forms ascending a platform. They were none other than Audra Marvel and Forrest Gannon. Mr. Marvel was about to de- liver his famous address entitled ttPrecedenoeW by special request from the number of Valparaiso classmates present. He immediately informed them that his success as a speaker was due, in a large measure, to Mr. Gannon, who was now his private secretary and always gave him light on his subjects. Clay Curran, however, said that light was not all that was necessary for success. He made his strong point talent and asked them to hear an entertainment given that evening at which Eddene Peterson would sing her latest number, ttThe Holy CityW Mae Merriam would give a reading, Boss Armour would be magician, and Stephen Biezes would run the moving picture machine; admission 10 cents. The old woman was now looking around her for old friends. She soon found in the audience William Abramoviteh who said he was busily engaged in keeping up with the band wagon; Mrs. Essenburg, just returned from Europe, where she had held a position as linguist in a university in Berlin; Arthur Smith, whose ability to corral news items she quickly recalled, told her that Lutha Walker had charge of a hospital in Colorado and was ably assisted by Messrs. Wilbur Smith and Hilman Skovholt; that Richard Talcott, Russell Seller, Alvin Gutheil and J oseph Weiner were now at West Point; and Hyman Shul- man and Elias Klein had recently taken up their duties as government surveyors in Panama; John Carter, Arney Glasgow, Frank Gudas and J. J . Kent were on the police force in Chicago; while Herman Treese and J oseph Goodman were prominent Chautauqua lecturers. Dr. Smithis obliging smile of greeting had by this time given place to a frown, so she decided that she had asked enough questions of such a busy man. The lecture was now over and the crowd began to disperse. The old woman had wandered about for some time when she heard a familiar voice and an unusual amount of excitement. The voice was Cecil Par- rillls and the excitement, a base ball game. How natural it seemed to see Arthur Barnes coolly giving orders to Erie May, Vincent Walsh, h125- Robert Herrman, Emery Lehman and George Korby, who were now famous American League players. Having seen so many of her old classmates, the old woman was now determined to learn the whereabouts of all. With this in mind, she boarded a train for Valparaiso. Upon her arrival there, she found Henry Karch calling in most melodious tones, HBus for the College OfficeW Gladly patronizing her old classmate, she soon found herself on NThe Hill. ,1 That memorable spot had changed considerably. Many of the 01d teachers had resigned and their places had been filled by strangers. Some few of the Scientific class of 1911, however, had been retained. Mr. Littlejohn had Charge of the German department; Stella Freeman had succeeded Miss Carver; Miss Whitlock was still interested along botanical lines; Floy Fuller, on account of the ability she mani- fested in her essay and oration work, had taken Miss Baldwins place tit being rumored, however, that the twenty-five rules for writing essays had been modernized, since her electionj Stanley Swanberg was man- ager 0f the HHeraldW; several of the more studious boys were still in school, working for their board at East Hall. Alfred Gierach and Thomas DeWane were biting holes in doughnuts; Stephen Doak and Clyde Suddarth were shooting raisins into the bread; Peter Hendrick- sen and Otto Harris were knocking the smell out of the onions. Miss Park was dean of women, while Mr. Seanor was dean of men. Robert Lentz was secretary of the Y. M. C. A.; Walter Koeher was minister of the Christian Church; Webb Schwen was running the University Haberdashery; J . 0. Mitchell had discovered a wonderful cure for bald heads; it need not be remarked that his patronage was large. John Lewman was now a man of leisure, having invented a perpetual motion machine. She now wandered about in her old haunts, which she found to have changed a little. On a bill board, a circus was scheduled; it was the former Ringling Brothers show, now owned by Reed, Redmond and Richards. The old woman now decided to go to Chicago. There she learned from the Information Bureau, Claude Pickles, that Everett Miller was President of the Pennsylvania B. R. and Albert Watts was a prominent real estate man in Gary. She, however, become suddenly ill and was taken to the Y. W. C. A., whose secretary was the amiable Bessie Rogne. Under the care of Anna MeGloin, she gradually recovered, much to the dismay of Edgar McIlvain, undertaker for the establishment. Upon the advice of William OtDonnell7 she decided to seek the sea coast and had been there but a short time when she saw a magnificent building. Greatly amazed at its stately appearance, she asked a resident to whom it belonged and was told that it was a home established by Hiram Cloud for his brokenhearted sweethearts. No person was allowed to enter but Peter Birmingham, who was a priest and was sent weekly to com- e126h fort the inmates with the hope that Hiram Cloudts time was yet to come. While walking along the docks in the City of New York, she saw a steamer about to disembark and learned that on board were Mr. and Mrs. Otto Blackburn, formerly Cora Olson, who were sailing for India as missionaries, and Benjamin Lee was returning to China, to there introduce the American school system; also Edward Gaebe was on his way to England as United States Minister and Frank Yuskaitis, going to Russia to reform the government. Wandering along the sandy beach of Coney Island, she met a society lady leading a white poodle dog by a blue ribbon, whom she recognized as Ethel Smith. She was Very friendly and willingly told her that Bernis Nance was a Wall street broker, and that he made his fortune by the discovery of a cure for the tthook-wormit Laura Billings was trying to lind some method by which scarlet fever could be made non-eontagious. Emery Kirkendall was stationed in a wireless telegraph station on the Atlantic, while Joseph Kinehus was on the Pacific and they were endeavoring to reach their former classmates by wireless. They had succeeded in some instances, locating Mr. Umphrey at Harvard as Professor of Mathee maties; Misses Lillie and Lela Kesner'at Longmont, Colorado, in charge of a Kindergarten school; Mrs. Shideler in Chicago, lecturing 0n Womants Rights and Matilda Clement, demonstrating the advantages of the latest hoop skirt, with Bertha Haas as a model. They also told her that Messrs. Toivenen, Osit, BenharngCope and Fuguitt had under taken an expedition to Mars to plant the Soientihc pennant of 1911 and were now on Pikes Peak, debating who should furnish the gas; Pratapas and Szivickes were engaged in whale fishing in Alaska, and Henry Kleinberg was a taxidermist in Florida. The old woman now decided to return home. She took a southern route as winter was approaching. Nothing of any importance occurred until she reached Tennessee. There she met Eula Corder who was just returning from Montana, where she had just established a seminary for cats. Miss Corder told her that Mr. Murray was now governor of Tennessee, and Charles Kilgore, a prosperous cotton planter in the same state. She proceeded on her way and when she boarded the Nslow traintt in Arkansas she found the conductor to be Frank Brown and. the engineer, J ohn Baumgartner. These obliging gentlemen made the seem- ingly endless journey more pleasant. They told her that A. L. Reed and W. B. Davis were running a ranch in Texas ; O. W. Valeneourt had charge of a commercial school near Chicago and had succeeded admirably in getting pupils, especially ladies; Mr. Naikehs was still advancing the theories of Mr. Bennett; Henry and Anthony Meyers were civil ene gineers for the Great Northern Railway. Springtime was approaching when this interesting journey ended. In Colorado, she learned that Irlny Lackey was now the American Poet a127- Laureate; and Marie Benedict was organizing a Grundy association, Whose members pledged themselves never to speak ill of any m-a-n. Misses Helene Ford and Eva Powell CE might preface that the latter like that Eve in the Biblical Valparaiso seemed created purposely to wait upon, or for, some lonely marlJ had remained satellites of the brightest planets Visible in the intellectual vaulted blue of the sky from Which that other B.

' These satellites, she learned at the observatory, had gradually lost their identity in a nebulous Cloud-y mass; and had engaged the close attention of observers Who feared some unnatural issue; but of late these fears have given place to the assurance that no danger need be apprehended as they have disintegrated, resolving themselves into a Cloud-y vapor Hoovering about. The old woman was started from her satisfying dream by a light placed on the table near Which she had fallen into the reverie. She again looked at the faces in the book before her and said, I have seen them all, but, Oh, how changedW 33a mVx Library Interior -128e PRECEDENT, AND ITS TEACHINGS. tClass Day Orationj AUDRA T. MARVEL. r. RECEDENT is the gleaning from the ages of a vast and com- plicated human society, a synthesis of the principles and ideals that have been the leaven of optimism to man in every advancement in civilization, in every break from dark to lightwa sort of a primordial solvent for all social complex- ities. True, we claim to have a dual equipmentepreeedent and theory Mfor the solution of all problems, but unfortunately the weak mind of man has seldom been able to create original theory, being necessarily content, for the most part, to disclose only the mystery of discovered phenomena, thus leaving us dependent in reality to the provinces of precedence. 3 z In the legal world precedent has become so popular that it has been given a very learned name, mIlhe doctrine of Stare Deoisis. In fact, there seems to be a sort of a tendency among lawyers to return to the old Roman art and custom of litting facts to set maxims and principles, and we even have those who contend that our law is only an uncon- scious departure and an unacknowledged return to the old civil juris- prudence. Our common law has, indeed, its very essence in precedence and our jurists are learning more and more that in this age when K criticism is so apt, there is no safer criterion than the judgment of trust- worthy predecessors. There can be no greater attainment, no greater ideal of grandeur to a modern American jurist than to be a peerless John Marshall in the law,ito set a precedent for his fellow men by a revelation in words of those principles of right that concern and control justly both nation and individual. Not only in law, but so much in all things does Reine still ttrule the worldf, that she is sometimes called the great precedent maker. The influence has been followed by an over-estimation,etoo much conserva- tism. People have a fondness for actuality, for present existence, for practicality, for the Nold reliablejl for the living reality. They look. upon a change with a sour and grim Visage. Superstition has been an influential factor and through many centuries past new theories and hypotheses have been linked with evil. Galileo was thought to be a disciple of the devil because he insisted that the world was round. Col- umbus was only able to enforce the same idea in his small crew by burning a hole in the tongue of him who dared oppose. Nearly all scientific discoveries have similar histories. The whole history of seie enee has been a long struggle with such enmity as literary genuises and e129e philosophers, and even though now there seems to be an agreement be- tween the two forces to work in unison, a new theory contrary to a tipetll one already existing is accepted with much jealously. Newton, a master of science himself, retarded the wave theory of light for over a century. But after all, I am not sure but there is a stability in con- servatism much to be desired, a value of precedent not to be too highly praised. NThe whole past,H says Carlyle, ttis the possession of the present. The past has always something true and is a precious possessionll and truth has ever been the ideal of a great man, the imagination of an active mind. Our whole history has been likened to a pendulum, a swing to the light, a return to the dark. Byron says: ttFirst freedom, and then glory, when that fails, Wealth, Vice, corruption, barbarism at lastw And history with all her volumes vast Hath but one pageil Then if great men have made history, history has lacked great men. But while in the dark ages we behold not the shining brillianey of in- tellect in any one great man, there have ever been men enough of imag- ination, heroes of sincerity, who have kept alive the primordial force of advancement, and thependuluin illustration is incomplete, nay, a crime against optimism, unless we understand it to be a mechanism of the third dimension, that the movement is not a simple harmonic motion, that the line of movement is not a straight line, but a sine curve in the general direction of a goal of perfection, a goal of infinite idealism, a realm of optimism. The whole past has left us no happier possession than optimism. It is the vitality of inspiration, the destruction of despondency, the fortunate possession of the great, but the hardest to acquire and seldom the co-worker of success. But, indeed, n0 truly great man was ever a success to himself for a great man always leaves his work unfinished. Lincoln died in sorrow because he had, not completed the nationls con- ciliation and all America trembled with the need of such another. N apoleon died the child of fate and despondency. Alexander, Caesar, Hannibal, Galileo, Newton, Luther, have similar biographies. But optimism was their fortune, has been the worldls fortune, Americals fortune. Optimism sent Columbus to America, cut down trees, fought the Indians, built up the thirteen colonies, threw a teapot of defiance at tyranny, raised the Stars and Stripes, signed the Declaration of Inde- pendence, constructed a new nation, withstood the crisis of a civil war and now is proclaiming a worldls peace, entreating forty-six nations to become brothers of universal justice and pride. If optimism has been the stimulus of such advancement, it has had its power from the ideals of its actors. Precedent teaches above all e130-e things the value of an ideal. It is impossible to think of any great man without thinking of his ideal, of what he stands for, of what he Hdoes practically lay to heartfehis religion, as it were. When we know this, we know the man; and when we know the man, we know the times, We understand the nation, we see the nations history,ef0r ttHistory is but the biographies of great 1nen3 l Then, if, HWe are such stuff as dreams are made off our nation is a paint- ing of our dreams, a Vision of our ideals. Every ideal is a prophecy of the power behind it. It is the same power that makes the beautiful rose of the hill top, the same power that makes the poisonous herb of the valley, the same power that gave the friendly beast the hoof and horn, the serpent its fang, the tiger its claw. If man is akin to the Gods, he is likewise akin to the beasts and one power governs all. We are now in an era testing that power, in an age where a danger is plain. If our industrial machine is to be preserved, it must be made moral and hu- mane; a nation of individuals must awake from careless repose and return to those higher ideals that have gained for our nation its great honor; to those ideals that have been the wand of human progress in all its history. The nation has a greater call to duty than ever before,enot a call for more men, but for more MAN. The advantage of the ages is ours. Centuries are looking down upon us with wonder and admiration for the present, with hope and inspiration for the future. Optimism, pre- cedentls holy creed demands young men, strong men, sincere men, men who have a will ; energetic, earnest men who have an instinct for de- tecting and detesting quaokery. A it Gospel. of Wealth is the intellectual plague of the age. A doctrine of the ttSurVival of the Fittest,l is being preached, a metamorphic substitution for the HSurvival of the Fit. Then let us be up and doingelet 11s deserve a great nation. We; the student of the universities of the land, meet to know each other, then go out into the world and soon grow to be strangers, but let us be 00- workers in a great universe, let us hearken to the infallable teaching of precedent, highly resolved on the ideals of optimism and contented that human brotherhood is the basic law of social growth, and the demand of the time will be fuliilled. Graft will become as odious as treason; a spirit of independence and high-inindedness will. again be over the land; the wealth of the nation will be distributed by the free action of eco- nomic and social law, to labor and skill and enterprise and thrift. J us- tice and good-will shall become our assurance of peace and natural helpfulness shall prevail instead of greed and strife. ttIs it a dream?

Members of the Graduating Class of 1911, Ladies and Gentlemen: iERE I am with the responsibility before me of saying some- thing that will be worth the hour of your time which, having faith, you have staked on a great uncertainty. Sixty minutes l of any onels time ought at the lowest estimate to be worth twentyefive cents to him, and these last lleeting hours of the few fleeting days left of this college year doubtless have a greater value to each of you than a paltry quarter apiece. I have put it at two bits, however, and rougheestimated beforehand the audience at eight hundred, so as to get an easy problem in arithmetic, not having in these later years much of a head for mathematics. Eight hundred divided by four gives two hundred. Now that was, as I anticipated, an easy problem, but the hard one is how to produce by means of a five-icent pencil and a ten-eent tablet, together with some fragmentary bits of literature and philosophy stored up unseientifieally in my brain cells, and some little scattering and unsure observance of the dissolving panoramic picture which we call. Life, an address of an approximate value of two hundred dollars. If I cannot do this, I may be accused of obtaining your presence here to-night under false pretenses. A good mule will bring two hundred any day in the week, but the quotations 0n addresses are not very encouraging. The market is dull, sluggish, apathetic. I amuse myself by imagining a public auction of the effects of an insolvent literary man. The auctioneer stands on the block, which is the bankruptls trunk, and tries to stir up some enthusiasm in the small group of phlegmatic bystanders. thow here we have,H he cries, tla Baccalaureate Address, practically as good as new, never used but once, and shows hardly any mental wear and tear; with a few minor changes may be used at any time and in. any place. How much am I offered for this fine Address? Do I hear a bid? Gentlemen, this article is guaranteed to be of excellent quality through- out,egrammar, punctuation, capitalization, paragraphing, all accord- ing to the highest Indiana standards. It has been thoroughly sterilized for germ-ideas and is perfectly harmless. Take it home to your wife and children and give it a place alongside the Ladiesl Home Journal and Hicksl Almanac. D0esn7t anybody want this literary masterpiece? Come, give me an offereanything to start it!H It is a beautiful Sunday morning as I sit out on the porch lazily watching the breeze playing with the maple leaves in supreme indif- ference to me and my pencil and tablet and task. Automobiles are whizzing by unreligiously, while only a few rods away, to the notes of the rolling organ, I hear a choir and congregation joining in thraise God From Whom All Blessings Flowfl Truly itls a hne, varied, in- teresting, baffling, old-young world, with its beauty and suffering, its e132e piety and profanity, its youthful dreams and old-age memories and regrets, and how one would like to have a master-key to its many- mansioned mystery! Watching the maple leaves and the whirring cars, however, nodding to friends and acquaintances, and listening to the anthem which the choir has now begun, dont seem noticeably to stimulate my pencil. I need help, and Will try a prayer. ttO Apollo, god of rhetoric and oratory and several other things, come to my aid, give me a few ideas, give me at least a themeeanything to start it. I7 I should like to be delivered, and to deliver you, from the stale and the stereotyped, from the old things you have heard so often that they no longer cause a thrill of pleasure or a stimulus to half-formed purposes; yet With What confidence can I make pretense to anything new that would be worthy of your attention and credeneea.l Let me read that last sentence over to see if Apollo in some hidden way may have suggested a theme. I note two antithetical adjectives, old and new; yes, it must be that the god meant me to find a theme in that, or maybe the suggestion comes from the contrast of the pleasure- seeking occupants of the automobiles and the praiseeoffering voices of the choir and congregation. Anyway, I Will take for my theme, NThe Old and the N ewW and see if anything Will come of it. Frankly, I do not expect much, certainly not two hundred dollars, worth; yet When one has promised to make an address he is honorwbound to make it. And if he be one those unfortunates Who cannot depend upon the in- spiration 0f the occasion to furnish him With ideas and mellifluous lang- uage, but days and weeks before the event must prod his reluctant Will With a remembered promise, then he is compelled to do precisely What I am doing this Sunday morning. He must, too, tamper With time and With projective imagination anticipate the Sunday evening audience of blackegowned members of a graduating class and their many wella Wishing friends, all awaiting expectantly a mannaedropping tongue, or at worst determined stoically to endure a wearisome hour out of respect to an ancient academic custom. I think I may say, then, projectively, Without fear of successful contradiction, and With little danger of incurring the charge of strain- ing for originality, that the college year of nineteen-eleven is drawing to a close. Already boxes originally labeled Kirkls Family Soap and Quaker Oats are being filled With Ames, Physics, Newth7s Chemistry, and various other texts round Which certain memories cling like the odors of a shattered reputation; together With countless note-books of accumulated knowledge, mute records of long days of labor and nights devoid of ease. The soap-boxes and the oats-boxes swallow them all. What capacity for information a box has. The quiet ease With Which it takes things in appeals to me, and I am ambitious for a parallelepi- pedal wooden head. I seem to scent a possible moral here, too: namely, that if you till your minds at first With What is clean, or at least cleansing, -133- and with what is strength-giving, eventually you may find them packed with what is more or less true. That was pretty far-fetehed, but since I am not sure that another opportunity to inoralize may offer itself, I think it best to make sure of bagging at least one uplifting and helpful thought! There are yet other signs that the 01d Year lies a-dying. You of the Graduating Class have anticipated his death by donning your funeral robes the customary suits of solemn blaok-even before he draws his last choking breath. Relatives are coming in; and premature if not unseemly fumigation and house-cleaning are already going on in some of the rooms. The doctors gave him up twelve weeks ago, and the lawyers, too, have withdrawn. The clairvoyants prophesy his dis- solution at about ten otolook on next Thursday night. There is an air of impending change all about. Trunk-paeking and sentiment are lodged in the same room ..... Now he is going ..... Now he is gone. gClose up his eyes; tie up his chinW Good-bye, good-bye, dear old Nineteen-Eleven. Can you remember when this Old Year was young what a rosy- cheeked, red-lipped, eurly-haired Cherub he was? Or, dropping the figure, do you remember the high hopes with which you started out on this last year of your college course? It was a time of promise and dreams and exalted, heroic determination. How much you expected of it. The days and hours seemed an almost endless Chain of oppor- tunitymthe rosary of the year; and round each hour and day clung a prayer spoken or expressed only in the courageous resolution to do your best, the prayer of honest, high-hearted purpose. It did not seem possible that the year could slip away so fast. But the mighty and relentless god Chronos drives a marvelous ear called Tempus, and unlike prophecies, crops, and students taking examinations in electricity, it never fails. Never does this doughty chauffeur weary of his task. Day and night, year after year, century after century, he sits at the steering wheel and drives around his circular track. Never has his machine turned turtle or thrown a tire. Never has Chronos been over- come with the heat or blinded by the dust, and never has he had to pull up at the pit for repairs. He is some driver, believe me. Thus has the New become the 01d, and now you are already con- fidently planning for the year that is to come. I cannot help wondering what Enehantress it is that throws over us all, and more especially over the young, this spell of great expectations. The old year, the old century, the old mamethey are istgewesens; but the new year, the new century, the young inan,ethese are futurus esses. Every time I see an empty store building, or a tuinble-down dwelling, or a poor, age- i'acked man, I cannot help thinking of the commercial hope-dreams, and the domestic love-dreains, and the iridescent life-dreams that once hovered like good angels around them. I suppose it is natural for e134e Youth to listen to the sweet words of the subtle Sorceress, and then eagerly press forward toward the rainbowls end to find the fulfillment of her promises. Neither do I believe that her spell is wholly baneful; far from it. Yet somehow I cannot help feeling that the newer genera- tions are becoming irreverently and unphilosophieally contemptuous of the past. There was a time when men worshiped their ancestors; there was a time when the young were taught to rise up before the hoary head; there was a time, and not so long ago, when the great names of our history and the great names of all history were rallying-words of reverence and honor. Now all this seems to be changing. Now it is a meek college professor or humble college sophomore, indeed, who cannot supereiliously prove that the religion of the past was mostly superstitious fanaticism; that the Constitution of the United States is a stone of stumbling in the road of political progress; that Moses and . Isaiah anol Solomon and Plato and Sophocles and Marcus Aurelius and Shakespeare and Washington and Jefferson and Lincoln were sur- prisingly deficient in chemistry, physics, botany, geology, Zoology, biology, ethnology7 entomology, bacteriology, teleology, psychology, sociology, eugenics, scientific agriculture, manual training and domestic science. Ah, if there had only been a few modern college sophs. or seniors in all those past ages to have checked so much sophistry and senile sentimentality; only a few Ph. Dfs to have phrevented so much deuoed pholly, phoolishness and phanaticism. If Moses could only have read the Higher Criticism; if Solomon had had a thorough course in Child Study; if David could only have played quarterback at Yale; if St. Paul had had access to the poems of Ella Wheeler Wilcox; if Plato had taken at least a bachelorls degree; if J oan of Arc could have been president of a Sanguinary Suffragette Society; if Shakespeare had only had elementary and advanced English Composition under Doctor Poeticus Paragraph; if Alexander Hamilton could but have studied the theories of Henry George! It is certainly too bad; but it cannot be helped now, except perhaps by rectifying the terrible mistakes they made. The Romans had a god called J anus, the name being still preserved in our J anuary. J anus was the god of the past, present, and future; of gates and entrances, of war and peace, and patron of all beginnings. ttJanus am I; oldest of potentates; Forward I look, and backward, and below I count, as god of avenues and gates, The years that through my portals come and goW He was usually represented with two faces turned in opposite direc- tions, and the counterfeit presentments that I have been able to find reproduced in the texts on mythology are not very attractive or inspiring. Somehow, too, the expression ttwo-facedl has come among us ,h135h to mean treacherous, deceitful, and the like, though the twoefaoed J anus was a beneficent god withal, even if I do not like his looks as pre- served on various Roman coins. I can imagine, however, a two-faoed god whom no modern youth need be ashamed to reverence. One face 'would look backward, peering deep, deep into the past that we call dead. On this face would appear wistful sympathy, loving admiration, and tender pity for the heroic sufferings, the courageous achievements, and the fearful mistakes of those faded ages, centuries, and years once rosy with the morning dawn of youth and hope. On this face would rest the light of a historic imagination with power to re-create those long gone epochs and men and see them as they were to themselves, twith the rays of morn on their white Shields 0f Expectationl For is it not patent that no age was ever ancient, or mediaeval, or dark, to itself? And may not this seemingly endless lilm of time itself be a sort of illusion? The other face beaming with enthusiasm fresh as the dewecovered rose-bud at the break of day, would look forward, near-forward and far-forward. Eager impetuous determination would be written in every lineament, outer symbols of an inner ideal longing zealously for realization. Nor in either face should appear contempt, or bitterness, or malignant hate. Perhaps I am wrong, but it seems to me we are in danger of losing in this age of criticism, skepticism, and flippanoy, the sense of gratitude, the sense of our immense debt to men forgotten or faintly remembered, to the years that have fallen like leaves from the tree of time. Our very life is linked indissolubly in unbroken chain back, back,ewh0 can tell how far. We are, I fear, like the inheritors of a large estate, selfishly accepting our share, forgetful of the struggles, hardships, and years of grinding toil that made it possible. We bumptiously and oonoeitedly talk of the told manf 0f old-fogyism, of superstitions, ignorance, errors, limitations, and Janus knows what. We worship the up-to-date god Progress as he rides in his aeroplane on the wings of the wind. He seems to be getting somewhere at a rapid rate, and we want to follow him. But anywhere is always somewhere; and let God or man sail east or sail west never so swiftly or never so far, he must soon be coming back again. So humanity, after all its vaunted advancement, will be coming back century after century to some old things which are ever young,-to love and honor and honesty and beauty and gentleness and the peace that passes understanding. Particularly do we forget the difficulties of the past. The young tyro in physics flatters himself that he can see the mistakes of a Newton. If, however, he desire an angle to measure himself by, let him try to advance as far upon present-day knowledge as Newton did on the knowledge of his time. Any schoolboy can tell glibly the causes of the downfall of Greece and Rome, but how much can he do to keep his own country from going the same road? Ingersoll waxed eloquent e136e on the mistakes of Moses. Yet with no intention of belittling the great agnostic, I cannot help wondering tborrowing the idea, and hoping some day to pay it back, principal and interestl if the mistakes would have been fewer, had he been the bald-headed baby found in the bulrushes. Doubtless he, too, did much to lead men out Of an Egyptian wilderness to a land of milk and honey, the milk of human kindness and the honey of a happiness that is big-hearted and unterrifled by the haunting hobgoblins of fear. I suspect, though, that he was too eager to find inconsistencies in a certain book that has many things besides inconsistencies. At the St. Louis Exposition there was an interesting object lesson in the evolution of steam transportation. Various types of engines from the earliest crude forms with their tall, ungainly smo-keestacks and general uncouth appearance to the modern high-powered and beautiful, models. Yet who would say that the makers of those first locomotives deserve less credit than the makers of the latest ones? Brave old Samuel J ohnson once wrote a Dictionary of the English Language that would look sorry enough compared with the New International, but he did it singleehanded, and with little before him to build on. His definitions, as well as the peculiarities of Johnson himself, have been ridiculed often enough; as, for instance his definition of oats as a grain given in England to horses and in Scotland to the people. Seldom enough, on the contrary, has the grim heroism of the weak-eyed, prejudiced, domineering old giant been remembered and taken to heart. To whom much is givenibut you know the rest. I would sing, therefore, the Song Of the Old: not for its perfection, since it was imperfect enough; not for its inerraney, for I make no claim as to that; but because the men of all these past years were work- ing just as earnestly as we, just as courageously as we were, striving to Hadvance and advance on Chaos and the Darkfl They, too, were truth-seekers according to their light. We have the white, Clear light of science, the X-rays of an armed intelligence, while they had only the hazy half-light of tradition and the faint starlight of wonder and of awe; but without the congregate labors 0f the countless soldiers in this army of truth from the first dim dawn of intelligence, we could not have this light. NPioneers! O Pioneerstt chanted the elemental Walt Whitman in tones of a rough, barbaric music: We primeval forests felling, We the rivers stemming, vexing we and piercing deep the mines within, We the surface broad surveying, we the Virgin soil upheaving, Pioneers! O Pioneers! On and on the compact ranks, With accessions ever waiting, with the places of the dead quickly iill ,d, Through the battle, through defeat, moving yet and never stopping, Pioneers! O Pioneers! e137- And I likewise, had I the gift, would chant to the memory of sin- cere, even if misguided effort, not a dirge of lamentation, but a paean of appreciative praise. Strangely enough, too, some of their work was so well done that we have not been able with all our scientific ologies to surpass it. Sophocles, ttOedipus Tyrannus and Shakespearets NHamletH do not suffer in comparison with the best that Ibsen and Tolstoi and D ,Annun- zio have to offer. Homer and Virgil had never read Spencerts or Dewey,s Psychology, and would probably, could they come back, ignominiously flunk in an examination on the various steps and phases of feeling, knowing, and willing; yet, nevertheless, they felt deeply, they knew well some Vital things, and they willed to create masterpieces that make the efforts of modern poets look more or less amateurish and frament- ary. Cervantest ttDon Quixotetl has a richer if less ludicrous vein of humor than Mark Twainls ttConneotiout Yankee in King Arthurts Courtfl Julius Caesar got along fairly well without the thorough mili- tary training now obtainable at West Point. The hand that rounded Peterts dome need not be ashamed could he see the Chicago Postofiiee, the State Capitol at Albany, or the pretentious Cathedral of St. J ohn the Divine now building on the banks of the Hudson. Neither, I think, will you consider a demonstration necessary to show that no twentieth century moralist or professor of ethics is able materially to improve on the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount. N 0, they were not fools or numskulls, those men of the past. Yet they made blunders enough, and many of these blunders are written in suffering and bitterness and blood. I do not wish to be oook-sure; but neither am I ambitious to be blind, or to have an attack of ostrich- itis. I would look at the past sympathetically, but I would look at it honestly. The worst of it maybe was an intolerant dogmatism that insisted on one only interpretation of lifels mystery, one chosen people, one this and one that, with the concomitant result of cruel if nugatory efforts to stitile, or at least appropriate seliishly every new thought that should have lighted up the way of life not for this or that little province or tribe, but for the whole round worldea little flattened at the poles. Such a conception, narrow and unphilosophio as it seems, dies hard even yet. I do not know just why one man or one nation or one phase of thought-soienee or philosophy or religionewants to dictate to all men, all nations, all phases of thought. If I had a flower garden, I should not want it to be all roses or all the roses to be of one variety; or a vegetable garden to be all oabbages or potatoes, and the potatoes all Early Rose or Burbank; or an orchard to be all apples, and the apples all named for a certain Benjamin Davis, worthy enough man as he may have been for all I 'know. And if I had a world, I should not want all the races on it to be one race.Anglo-Saxon, or Latin, or e138: Celt, or Slay. Neither should I wish all the thinkers of it to be of one typeeall evolutionists or reactionaries or mystics, nor even to have any one man in it so pinfolded in any particular ism that it would seem the world to him, and its one window the only one from which to look out upon the Great Miracle. N ature, who holds no degree from Harvard or Berlin or the Sorbonne or even from a Theological Seminary is, nevertheless, capable of teaching us several things about herself and ourselves; and one day perhaps we shall learn that there are other things besides vacuums that she abhors,;for instance, limits. The mountains are washing down into the sea; rivers change their beds or out deeper ones where they are ; shore lines are never Iixed, and the restlessness of old ocean is never-ending. Wild flowers and shrubs and tangling Vines are scattered lavishly through a forest of oaks and walnuts and elms and hickories and lindens. Even the practical farmer has eventually learned the value of rotation of crops. He used to corn or wheat or tobacco texouse the nouneverbs lhis land to death. And I am afraid we have not yet learned the importance of rotation of ideas, or the wide variety that is needed to beautify the world of the fuller life. We still try to religion or science or commerce our minds to death, until we get only a half-orop even when artifioally fertilized with the potash of piety, the phosphate of facts, or the bone-dust of business. So, while I chant the Chant of the Old, I would also sing the song of the New. I do not expect so much from any one thing, but I expect a great deal from a clearer understanding of many things, and a more sym- pathetic appreciation of the relation of all men and of all things. Maybe it is time to change the sentimental term, the Brotherhood of Man, to the colder but possibly truer term, the Interdependence of Men. The Minnesota Swede and the Minneapolis miller who combine to produce Pillsbury7s Best; the Kansas Jayhawker and the Janesville Disc; the Missouri farmer and the Missouri mule; the skilled surgeon or prac- titioner; the begriineol railroad engineer and fireman; the German musician who, in an atmosphere of beer and tobacco, creates a beautiful symphony; the preacher or priest who faithfully ministers to his peo- ple,ethese and ten thousand other workers in a hundred lands are mak- ing life, material life and spiritual life, richer for us all. By and by we are going to realize more fully the meaning of Emersonls lines: ttAll are needed by each one; Nothing is fair or good alonef, And when we learn this lesson of universal need and dependence, learned from this great advocate of independence, the life of the indi- vidual man will regain the significance that it is sometimes thought to have lost in these later times. Maybe, too, we can combine the idea of need and the idea of brotherhood and the idea of individuali S111 as did a humbler poet than Emerson: e139e ttLet common need, the brotherhood of prayer, The heirship of an unknown destiny, The unsolved mystery round about us, make A man more precious than the gold of Ophir, Sacred, inviolate, unto whom all things Should minister, as outward types and signs Of the eternal beauty which fulfills The one great purpose of creation, Love, The sole necessity of Earth and Heavenll, One of the greatest achievements of science is in its breaking down of intellectual olannishness. Thomas Paine, whom Roosevelt in an excess of charity and tenderness is said to have called a Hdirty little atheistW once said a true thing, as dirty little atheists occasionally do in spite of their dirt, diminutiveness and doubt. It was this: ttSoienee, the partisan of no country, but the benevolent patroness of all, has liberally opened a temple where all may meet. The philosopher of one country sees not an enemy in the philosopher of another; he takes his seat in the temple of science, and asks not who sits beside him. That was well said, and it has no dirt in it. Exclusiveness is incompatible With the very idea of science; yet, in another sense, science may try to be exolusive,that is in the desire for monopolistic dominance and in contempt for other types of thought and life, may in its turn seek to establish limits, to set up a new olannishness, only of another sort. It will not go. In-breeding leads invariably t0 deterioration, and eX- clusiveness is in-breeding. Science hints, moreover, at the inter-relation of all matter and all energy, hints that at bottom all matter may be one, and all energy one. I And humanity is all one great family even if we do divide it into races and nations and religions, and even if among these there have always been wars and rumors of wars. I have almost incontrovertible evidence that there are such things as family jars, jams, and misunderstandings; and I have read of national quarrels and religious conflicts. They are all unfortunate, though they may have been unavoidable. I trust, however, that it is not mere sentimentalism that dares to hope that with a finer individual humanity, and a truer nationalism, and a broader spirit of universal tolerance and liberty, that they will all gradually decrease and decrease. Hate is too expensive for everyday life, is a luxury that few men or nations can afford. It is a serious drain at once on Vital and financial resources. As love cannot be forced, so truth can never permanently be nailed down to a cross or a creed or a crucible. My hope for the New, then, lies not in any one thing, unless it be the One in which all things are comprehended: not in Science alone, be it chemistry, or physics, or biology, or any other; not in Religion alone, be it Christianity, or Judaism, or Mohammedanism, or Buddhism, or -e 140 ea any other; not in Art alone, be it poetry, or music, or painting, or sculpture, or architecture, or play-acting, or any of the so-called useful. arts, or the so-nained life-arts; not in Nnational supremacy, be it American, or English, or German, or Russian, or Japanese, or Chinese; neither in commerce nor wealth nor poverty nor aristocracy nor democ- racy nor socialism nor prohibition nor the Anti-saloon League, nor equal suffrage; nor yet in the Magna Charta, the Declaration of Independence, the Monroe Doctrine, the Constitution of the United States, or Reciproc- ity With Canada; nor even, speak it softly, in McClurds Magazine; Everybody,s Magazine, or the American Magazine. It is rather a hope that, through a thousand forces of enlightenment, war and jealousy and bickering and small-mindedness be it personal or national and bigotry and ignorance Will pass at least slowly away from the Whole world, and that hope and beauty and love Will come to be the rightful heritage of every highest and humblest person that finds a temporary or iinal home on this footstool of God. The Romans had a four-sided temple of the god Janus, the god of entrances and gates, called the Janus Quadrifons. On each side was one door and three Windows, the four doors symbolizing the four sea- sons, and the twelve Windows symbolizing the twelve months of the year. And I, too, in imagination, Will erect a temple Which I shall call the Temple of Truth. It likewise shall face four ways, and on each side shall be a door, and three Windows Which shall never be shuttered. One side Will face to the North, to the clear, cold light of the land of the polar snows. The door of the North I Will call Science, and it shall swing inward; and the three Windows through Which those enter- ing this door may oftenest Wish to look out upon life I Will call Reason and Experiment and Discovery. And one side Will face to the South, to the warm, rich light of the southern sun, to the land of sentiment and chivalry and romance. The door of the South I Will call Imagination; and through this door shall enter all the artists of the Beautiful, for the Beautiful also is an en- trance to the True. Like the door of the North, this one shall also swing inward; and the three Windows of the South through Which those entering on this side may oftenest Wish to look out upon life, I Will call J oy and Sorrow and Love. The third side Will face to the East, to the land of ancient civiliza- tions, to the land of history and tradition. of miracle and myth. The door of the East I Will call Religion. and through it shaH enter the priests of every faith and Dhilsonhy. for the Good is also an entrance to the True. This door shall likewise swing inward; and the three Windows of the East through Which those entering on this side shall oftenest Wish to look out upon life I Will call Faith and Hope and Charity. The remaining side Will face to the West, to the land of the New, e 141 - t0 the land of progress, Opportunity and achievement. The door of the West I will call Labor, and through it shall enter the countless mil- lions 0f toilers Who do the rough, hard work of the world,wfarmers and mechanics and miners and shop-girls and earenworn mothers and all the rest, for the Necessary is also an entrance to the True. And the three Windows through Which those entering on this side shall oftenest Wish to look out upon life I Will call Fidelity and Loyalty and Humility. The door of the West shall be much larger than the others, and unlike the others it shall swing both inward and outward, serving both for entrance and exit. It is my hope, moreover, that those entering from every door may now and then look out upon life from each of the Windows, and that they may all worship harmoniously in the Temple, and When the time of worship is over may go out from the door of the West, and may spread westward till the iWest becomes the East and southward till the South becomes the North, all working together to make the Earth itself a temple, in Which shall be found whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatso- ever things are of good report. Likewise it is my hope that you members of this Graduating Class may all find entrance to this Temple at one or another door, and after a time may gladly go out at the door of the West, the door of Labor, With the innumerable host of the workers of the world; may enter sin- cerely and go out courageously from this four-sided Temple of Truth, Which I 110W Wish to dedicate, not to the Roman god J anus, but to What- ever may be the universal and real God of entrances and gates--even the entrance of Life and the gate of Deathethat God to Whom there is 110 Old and 110 New, the God Who is Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the ending.

N SPITE of their youth, the Juniors have been granted a place in the Senior Class Annual. This is their very own . biographical corner; they occupy it With gratitude and pride. ' Pridewfor, after all, are they not the first organized Junior Scientific Class of Valparaiso University? When they go out next year, a credit to all their aunts and cousins, Will it not be as the strongest Scientific Class Which the Institution has ever known, the Class Which has toiled three terms for a science credit instead of two, and worked overtime on its tiidiomsii? But enough of that--they are a modest body. They are two terms 01d. April 19, 1911, their life as a Class began. Their first president was Mr. Jegium, their Vice-president, Mr. William Sienna, secretary Dorothea Piekerl, treasurer, Mr. Eugene Caste. Mr. Alexander Miller, as yell-master, was to coach the elass-eat least the masculine portiontin the cheers that warm the hearts of V. U. S. baseball heroes. Realizing that hard work is the price of recognition, even With brillianey such as theirs, they sterniy eschewed social affairs that first term and plodded along at their work. Naturally there were 110 00- eurrenees of great historical importance, except on Thursdays. Then at 1ifteen minutes past seven they stole unobtrusively through the twilight to their debating halls and settled, free of charge, questions Which have puzzled the world for centuries. This philanthropy had to cease two weeks before the end of the term on account of extra work. They experienced the end, With its nerve-raeking hustle and rustle and cram, telling the season had come for iiexamii They carried home their grades unassisted. Then followed the peaceful Thursday to Tuesday lullea period of drowsy content and Cheerful disregard of the college bell. Wednesday evening, June 14, they organized their class for the summer term. At a somewhat lengthy session they elected, by ballot, the new officers. Their president is Mr. VViison New; Viee-president Mr. Alexander Miller; secretary Vera VanAuken; treasurer, Mr. W. Nutter, and editor Mr. D. J . Wolfe. Several weeks later, the weather being fine and the photographer waiting, the Juniors assembled in front of Science Hail and Hooked pleasant9 for the Annual. But this must cease, lest their importance appear to be over estimated. Also there is nothing more to tell. In the future, however, that Will all be changed. They are increasing in experience and knowl- edge and oratoricai powers termiy. Next year their present humility Will be doffed for the proper pride Which may accompany superiority such as Will characterize the Class of 1912. 146 Edward A.

Her home address is Gross-Roop, Livonia, Russia. She received her high school education there, but since wandering so far away from home she became a mem- ber of the class and Will graduate.

Mary says she intends to teach a year, after Which in all probability she Will take a further college course, but at the same time she says, ttVVaiting for something to turn upW Donit worry; there is plenty of time yet. Henry J . Karch VVheatiield, In d. . Henry J. Karch began his lifeis strug- gle at Frankfort, 111., Aug. 1, 1885, but now claims Wheatiield, Ind, as his home.

Members of the Graduating Class and FelloweStudents: ; . N THE preparation of this address, I have met with the dif- l I fioulty, which I presume every class president encounters, of securing something satisfactory for the occasion. I am not ' sure I have succeeded. In this case I am on trial and submit my case to you. Since our department aims primarily at training for the teaching profession, I shall attempt to make a few remarks concerning a few points which should be of Vital interest to teachers. First, I should say the teacher should know about the school life of some of the worlds great men; the manner in which they responded to the school work and their after lives. I shall refer to a very few. It is told that Wordsworth made little progress in school and that none of his teachers made any impression on him. Darwin says, ttDnring my whole life, I have been singularly incapable of mastering any language. When I left school, I was for my age neither high nor low, and I believe I was considered by all my masters as a very ordinary boy, rather below the average standard in intelleotfl Goethels uni- versity teachers, to whom he showed his poems, could see nothing of value in them, and he failed getting his doctors degree because his thesis was unsatisfactory. Emerson, during his college course in the study of mathematics was, in his own words, Ha hopeless dunoeW Pasteur as a boy was not remarkable in scholarship, but delighted in fishing and drawing. But some one may ask of the importance of this knowledge to the teacher. It seems to me that the instructor who knows these things will be much more sympathetic and strive more to adapt work to the ability of the pupil, so that none may fall by the way- side; will recognize that development is the essential idea, and that life cannot be interpreted in terms of English grammar, Latin, or math- ematics. I do not wish to be misunderstood in this matter. I do not mean those pupils who have no stioktoitiveness, for every student should be required to put forth a large amount of effort at times in mastering a study. I mean those students who, after diligent applica tion, seemingly have no capacity for some lines of work. In the second place literature concerning the criminal tendencies of children such as truancy, anger, fighting, stealing, lying, etc., should be studied. The explanation of these acts as given by later educators is that they are the racial survivors of acts that in past ages fitted their possessors to survive. This View has had a marked effect on the teaching done in the schools. According to the fall-of-man View e164? concerning the child he was thought to be by nature a sin- ful creature; therefore, should be kept from doing those things in which he was interested and would like to do. Now the teacher seeks to discover those things in which the Child is interested and to use them as a means to education. President Sehur: man speaking on this point says, ttlnterest is the greatest word in education. 77 So as the study of human nature evolved from an empirical to a rational basis, the effect was nowhere more noticeable than in teaching. It is now the purpose of education to control the ehildts en- vironment that by his responses to it he becomes social and ethical. Thirdly, a knowledge of some of the not uncommon physical de- fects of children and the effects accompanying them should be known. Eye-strain is a very common disturbance. Resulting from it are such effects as headache, migraine, epilepsy7 and indigestion. Numerous cases are on record of persons, who had been sufferers from these ailments, being cured by having ocular defects corrected. Adenoid growths occur many times and cause decreased ability in pupils. The person affected by adenoidal growths is usually a inouth-breather, hav- ing a tendency to catch cold, and is unable to fix his attention. These - growths may result in impaired hearing7 or a source of infection, and are liable to affect the brain. There is no doubt but that many times children have been unjustly criticized and punished because of their inability to do good work, when a much better method would have been to correct and remove physical defects. More and more is it recognized that gThe first requisite to success in life is to be a good aniinalft Lastly the teacher should know how progress in learning is at tained. Experiments have been made in regard to this and they show that there were times of rapid advancement, times of falling off in progress, and periods when there was neither advancement or falling off. These experiments showed that progress in learning is not con tinuous, but is a series of jumps. For a time there seemed to be no progress. Suddenly the difficulties cleared away, and the learner ad- vanced, soon however, to be checked again. In this very brief discussion I have endeavored to set forth a few things worthy of consideration. More, easily could have been said if time had permitted. In importance of work done by members of the different professions, there is none more so than that of teaching. Men sometimes marvel at the work done in architecture or sculpture, but what can be more marvelous than the product resulting from the un- folding of the latent powers of the child. May we as teachers have as an ideal in teaching the thought of Emerson, concerning the work of teachers: ttTo help the young soul; to add energy, inspire hope, and blow the coals into a useful iiaine; to redeem defeat by a new thought and by iirm action; that is not easy, that is the work of divine inenY, e- 165 e- EDUCATIONAL CLASS HISTORY. B. FREDERIC RICHARD. r,.,-. N ATTEMPTING the task which has been thrust upon me, I K approach the subject with a feeling both of joy and sorrow. 0n the one hand, because I was so honored, and on the other. because of my inability to do you justice. As it behooves a historian, in any kind of narration, to represent facts as they are, set forth actions, and draw conclusions that are true to life in every phase, I shall beg of you, that you do not judge my attempt too se- verelv. According to prescribed rules, the Subject Matter of the Educae tional Class History may very appropriately be put under two dis- tinct heads, the Physical and the Mental. Physical as in regard to our social relations, and mental as in regard to our psychical relations. Let us consider the physical side. We are but transients whose courses have been in the same direc- tion for a brief time. From whence we came, and to what place we will go is not my duty nor intention to narrate. It was in the beautiful days of September, of the year nineteen hundred ten, that the Educa- tional Class launched its ship and set sail, seeking for ports unknown and realms undiscovered. The voyage was long and epidemics some- times occurred among the passengers. Under certain peculiar climatic conditions some were occasionally overcome by a drowsiness akin to sleep. Some had the misfortune to be attached to measles, while some fell prey to that queer disease called nostalgia. There were no fatal- ities, however, in the whole course resulting from these ailments. The traditions of the hrst epoch of the Class History are somewhat vague and indefinite. The cosmic conditions had not yet evolved into de'finiteness. The struggling elements sometimes worked in opposition, sometimes in unison, and sometimes not at all. However, by some un- known and unexplainable cause, the guidance of the class was put under the control of Mr. M. L. Littlejohn. Under his supervision there was smooth sailing with but few exceptions. So uneventful and s0 noiselessly did this epoch glide away, that only a few faint traces of the happenings are left to remind us, that there ever was such a time in our history. With the exception of an election and an occasional Class Meeting, the world would not have known of an Educational Class then existing. But as time passed and seasons rolled away, the second epoch of our history approached. Whatever of graft there was, or to what extent the political machines were worked-no matter-Mr. Bernis Nance became our second chosen helmsman. For a time, it seemed as though e166e the Vitality of the class was on the downward curve. Hard times stared a few in the face, some of which grew long and pale, through the effect of wakeful hours, lost in studying Methodology or perhaps Nature Study. Only a few seemed enthusiastic and energetic enough to re- spond to the calls of duty. A new impetus was given to the spirit of the class when the prosposition of having a social was brought forth. This most notable function, during the year, was arranged for by committees and held on the nineteenth of February, nineteen hundred eleven, a date on which the ties of fellowship and friendship received one more strengthening effort. To those who were present the pleasant memories of that happy evening remain unchanged. The delightful program rendered, together with the refreshments and the social en- joyinents are not to be forgotten. The enthusiasm, aroused by this event, went a long way. Talk of another social was hinted at by sev- eral members, from time to time, but that has not been realized. The third epoch began in this great history making body of the Educational Class on the thirtieth of March, nineteen hundred eleven. Fortune favored Mr. Isidor Redmond in giving him the control of af- fairs. This period is noted as a very busy time in our career. Com- mittees of almost every sort were appointed to fulfill the wishes of the Class. It was also during this period that the honorable member, Miss Vesta Benninghoff chose rather to be called by the name of mMrs. S. E. Shideler. ll Cupid did his work well. How many other places he has been at work is not yet demonstrated. Suffice it to say, he will probably report favorably later, for we think he is still busy. The homeward voyage was begun on the seventh of June, nineteen hundred eleven. Mr. J esse Ulrich received the highest honors. It was during the early part of this period that arrangements for the Class Annual, Class Motto and Class Day exercises were made. Provisions were also made for a baccalaureate address to be delivered by the Hon- orable M. J esse Bowman, Dean of the Department of Law. Of coursey there were many other minor arrangements among the individual mem- bers of the class for private meeting, boat rides, picnics and the like, but since the historian was not officially informed concerning these things, it behooves him not to speak of them. The tap of the lead pencil upon the edge of the chalk box has called us to order for almost the last time. The familiar scenes of Room D have made deep impressions upon our memories. Rooms I. B. and 0., have also been frequent places of interest. What knowledge has been im- parted to us as a result of associations with these places can not be esti- mated. The iniiuenoes which have helped to shape our ways and make our lives worth more to us, have not been applied in vain. With fond recollections of our school days at Valparaiso University, may we never forget the Educational Class of nineteen hundred eleven. awe A PROFESSIONALIS FORESIGHT. JESSAMINE MARGARET MCGLOIN. NE of the most sultry days in May, feeling somewhat as l l' though I had to write this prophecy sooner or later, I took these sheets of paper, my good old pen and started out to do or die. I walked into the country following the road out past Sagefs Mill along that shady lane; the farther I went the searoer original thoughts became. Finally weary, footworn and about ready to drop With fatigue and thirst I turned into a yard to get a drink. The well was one of those old-fashioned kind with a rope and bucket attached. I turned the handle around many times, iinally getting the bucket to the top. The effort was well worth the result, for that water was fresher, clearer, and sparkled more than any I ever tasted. Leaning over the edge of the well, looking down into the shadows in the water, I finally began to discern figures and pictures that seemed to mean something, they were quite indistinct at first, but gradually they became clearer, until at length they assumed some characteristics of you, fellow students. Around a long table covered with maps and papers I observed VIessrs. Spencer Osit, Rutledge, Anderson, Leon, Hickman Natomi, Redmond, Clement, and Kupke, all men of mature years, earnestly talkj ing and discussing certain matters of the state. So I judged this to be a wise council gathered together for the purpose of arbitrating some great international dispute. I leaned over a little farther and in so doing, knocked a little piece of mortar down into the water. When the ruflled surface calmed, the shadows had changed, a great crowd of women with a few men scattered here and there was standing around a platform cheering lustily at times, a speech was being delivered by some woman who seemed very positive concerning her subject. After listening for a time, tbecause this well caused the echoes from the im- aginary sounds to reach my earsJ I recognized the voice of Miss Thompson, strenuously advocating the cause of woman s rights. Accord- ing to her theory the only hope of woman coming into her own, was thru socialism; thus she was killing two birds with one stone. In the audience I could see the tense faces of many whom I recognized, even though they did look older. Messrs. Funkhouser, Nance, LeRoy, Karch, and McDonald were the most enthusiastic of the genthemen while Misses Morris, Lehr, Ballenger, Hawkins, Meada and Hoffman were vigorously waving banners upon which the words, NVotes for e168- Womentt were printed in flaring black letters. I was just becoming so interested that I was about to holler, ttHurrah, myself, when a horrid 01d toad that had been playing possum 011 a piece of brick which pro- truded from the side of the well, made a sudden jump for a 11y, but, missing it, fell ttkerpluhkl, into the water, thus disturbing the calm for a second time. ttOnee again the scenes were Changedjl the water did not seem to calm again but after a time the fire bugs began to fly around. For some unknown cause or other they seemed to leave a streak of light after them on the walls of the well. These streaks finally assumed curves and angles. I was much interested in their movements and even more so, when I noticed that the night of these bugs told many things I was to hear. It certainly forecast the future, for among all the lines and angles the date 1925 was plainly discernable, Messrs. Richards, Little- john, Ulrich, and Treese were prominent in political affairs of the ttHoosier Statell; Mr. Quick was Justice of the Peace in Valparaiso; Messrs. Welty, White, and Reed pursued the noble profession that they had aspired to in the year 1911. Mrs. Shideler and Miss Parker started to teach, but at the time of the handwriting on the wall7 they were home makers, as were Misses Stuenkel and Peck. Mrs. Essenberg was a teacher in Germany, while Miss Burke assisted by Miss Terril still seemed to divide their time between Miss Thompson,s cause and the Y. M. C. A. The notice of a sale on general notions, everything marked down from a dollar to ninety-eight cents, was signed Baumgartner, Pressler, and Worthington. On account of the expected rush on the date of the sale, extra clerks would be employed; among the names given were Mrs. Baumgartner, Mrs. Pressler, Mrs. Worthington, and Miss Thorson. The next interesting thing was an account of a trial that was being held in St. Louis. Mr. Epple was defending Dr. New, who was being tried for the intentional killing of Mr. McIlvain by giving him poison when he was sick; however it was finally proven that the poison was some that had been bought for rats and so Mr. McIlvain met his death fairly and squarely. The light seemed to be failing some. The last thing I could discern was an item, mentioning Secretary of Agriculture, Neet, retiring from Office after four years of faithful service, on account of private research work he wanted to do with the strawberry plant. W169a THE HIGHEST GOOD. A. A. CLEMENT. comes more and more general that tta liberal educationil shall i be justified of its children. No system could be otherwise 1 - justified, yet a man can hardly be called educated who would put a price on his bit of education in tteiiccztass,t or other moneyts worth. No two men have yet agreed concerning the summum bonum or the highest good. The su111111111n bonum of any moral man cannot be a single object which may be obtained by winning out in any experience. It is not the satisfying of one desire or wish, but rather a development to be striven for. The highest good is a series of ends, each of which is a means to another and higher end. tiManls destiny is not to be satisfied but forever unsatisfied, not to succeed but to labor. Since man is a social being and is dependent on his fellows, he must consider their welfare to a great extent, he must have the feeling of fellowship and interdependence. The idea that the highest good of one man includes that of another determines the well-being of a com- munity, and just as this is felt, so far the good of a people advances. The question may now arise: ttOf how many shall this community consistfw No matter what my attitude toward a man, unless he has achieved his welfare he may hinder me in gaining mine. From history we know that as man becomes larger and more freeehearted, the 001m munity shares common interests among a larger number of individuals. ttCan I by justice or by crooked ways of deceit ascend a loftier tower, which shall be a house of defense to me all my daysfw The best and justest man is also the happiest and most the master of himself; the worst and most unjust man is also the most miserable and is the greatest tyrant of himself and society whether seen or unseen by men. The nature of the perfectly just man is ideal, but since we cannot attain a higher level than that toward which we aspire, then our ideal should be higher than our possibilities and be to us a light to brighten the pathway of our endeavor. NHope cherishes the soul of him who lives in holiness and righteousness and is the nurse of his age and companion of his journeyehope, which is mightest to sway the eager soul of manfi May we not say, HThis is the true ideal and every other is wroani Tolerance, a characteristic of an educated mind, forbids it. The ideal of one man is not that of all humanity and is not pressed upon any single individual, for, unless he is so made up that this seems the most desirable end, it is not his greatest good. Abnormal human beings, caring nothing for their fellows, are not taken into account. Their - 170 e- summa bona are quite different and in no possible way consistent with that of a normal man. What are the processes of gaining the greatest good? The summum bonuin, I have said, is development. To develop we must learn, and the process of learning is education in both its broad and narrow sense. Broadly speaking, education comprises all experiences of life, but a progressive man is not satisfied to sit back and wait for experiences which will advance his understanding. He chooses to consider educa- tion in the narrow sense also. Education in the narrow sense is the aim and purpose of those institutions which adjust men, in a superior degree, to their environment by a special process of training. Plato said of education in this connection, ttEdueation' is that which gives to the body and t0 the soul all perfection of which they are capable. 7t The first type of training as a conscious process was among the priests of India, who gave, besides religious and ceremonial education, a training in practical affairs. The Chinese were the first literary people, yet little progress was made after Confucius. The purpose of learning among the Greeks was a preparation for citizenship, military, political, and religious. Their schools were of two characters, ttgymnastics for the body and music for the soulW Their course broadened under the Sophists, changing to a rhetorical and philosophical style. The Latin period was an advance over the Greek. rlhe Church of the Christian era, though hostile to a broad learning, has preserved Inueh, if not all, of literature for us. From the reactionary education of the Renaissance, in which education was the acquisition of learning, linguistic and liter- ary, arose the psychological tendency for a system based upon knowl- edge of a manls nature. The change .in modern school has been rapid; a more prominent position is now given to the various natural sciences, which are the true foundation of all education. Education is a superior adjustment. Our education is of value just so far as it brings about this adjustment. Education is not creative; yet it may cultivate all our natural power by a well adapted and cone tinuous culture aimed at the harmonious training of body and mind and changing our possibilities into realties. This aim is threefold and deals with the physical, intellectual, and moral. NA sound mind in a sound bodyW Thi sis the sine qua non of education. It behooves us, therefore, to give strict attention to our physical well-being. Physical culture, including both work and play, should make our bodies strong, healthy, and responsive to the will. Intellectual training should first of all give us the scientific spirit, a mind open to and desirous of truth, whether the truth eonfiicts with theories previously formed by us or by others. It should give us a clear insight into nature and her governing laws and enable us to apply these laws. Of not less importance is our association with fellow beings. Vast accumulations of experiences of the past concerning social rela- e171: tions teach us the direction we must take for our own welfare, not only in the social world, but in that of business and science as well. Moral culture, or ethics, strengthens our minds and forms a habit of pure feeling and good thought. It teaches a ready obedience to the law of right, and aversion to the wrong. Nature seems to disclose her beauties and wonders only to the pure and cultivated mind. To have a body answering to our desires, to see and know the beauty of the world, to enjoy right doing-then is happiness attained. The highest good of man is his usefulness to humanity and through education is great use- fulness made possible. Residence of President H. B. Brown .- 172 a THE NEW EDUCATION. M. J. BOWMAN, JR. zur: T THE beginning of the nineteenth century, a man could I be a scholar in all departments of knowledge. In the l; igxk' Ml twentieth, for one to make the attempt would mark 4959225. him as a dabbler. A few decades ago, a craftsman could be master of every branch of his work. Today he does well to know one small part thoroughly. The change is significant of the age. Human endeavor has become so complex and many-sided, industry has grown so vast and so highly specialized, scholarship has discovered and explored so many new fields and has explored them so far, and each new avenue has opened up unexpected Vistas of thought and effort so illimitable, that the day of the uni- Versal master is forever past. No successor to Herbert Spencer will. ever again construct a Synthetic Philosophy which shall embrace within its range the entire scope of what is humanly knowable. No member of the learned or technical professions or no skilled mechanic will. ever again attain superlative knowledge or skill in more than a few departments of his calling. Times have changed and we have Changed with them. This revolution in the lives of men has produced its inevitable effect in education. Since scholar, professional man, and artisan alike must know less extensively but more intensively than formerly, a new questioning has arisen concerning the matter, method, and aim of teaching. Educators are not nearly so well agreed as they once were as to what should be taught or how it should be taught or why it should be taught. Specialization in research and industry has en- gendered specialization in education, and the Nelection of studies,,, ' k . is becoming narrower and is beginning earlier. The ttNew Psychology,,l is proclaiming that most of our time-honored methods are based upon a superficial understanding of the human soul and its real springs of action. And what is the purpose of our teaching? Is it information ! Is it utility? Is it culture? Is it individual character? Is it prepara- tion for service, altruism? Thus the most prominent aspect of the change as yet seems to be its unsettling and disturbing character. Questions once thought reae sonably solved are again open. To the teacher who sincerely seeks to serve his generation and to serve it alright, this is certainly not an unmixed blessing. The gates have been flung wide to all sorts of new theories and systems and the revival of all sorts of old ones, until the faithful teacher is fairly confounded with the din of schemes to make learning easier for the learner or more rapid or more practical or something other than it is. It would certainly be diflicult to justify all e173- that has been done or attempted, yet I firmly believe that the present state of agitation and uncertainty is not without its bow of promise. Destruction must sometimes precede construction. Honest doubt, coupled with the will to reexamine, is the prime condition of progress. The Faust-spirit of inquiry and investigation, even though tutored by the Mephistopholesaspirit 0f negation, is not altogether unlovely, and may be productive of much that is good as well as much that is evil. Then too, the modern agitation, with its New Psychology and its methods of exact science, is too earnest, too promising, too well-informed, to be ignored. It is not for the teacher as a leader and light-bringer to re- sist innovation too strenuously, lest he retrograde, n01 yet to accept it too readily, lest he go astray, but rather to be open-minded, Nproving: all things, and holding fast to that which is goodW Hence it has seemed to me that an examination and interpretation of some recent tendencies by one who is trying to deal with. actual problems of teaching in a field different from your own, may be, although somewhat too didactic, not wholly inappropriate to this occasion. Much of the recent movement centers in what has come to be known as the New Education. While all are not yet agreed as to just what constitutes the New Education, its general trend is not difficult to discover. Its Akey-note is individualism, a deepened recognition that the individual learner is the unit of teaching. Nineteen centuries ago the truth was enuntiated that man was not made for the Sabbath, but the Sabbath was made for man. Recently the very similar truth is coming into its own that the pupil does not exist for the system but the system exists for the pupil. The whole educational trend of the nineteenth century was toward individualism. In almost every theory 01 method or even fad which has had a following in the last forty years, there will be found some particular phase of this increased recognition of the individual. The beginning made may be compared very justly with the emancipation of the individual inaugurated during the six- teenth century in religion and during the eighteenth in government. There are two related principles7 in my opinion, which constitute the core of this individualism and 0f the New Education. They are: first, every pupil must learn through his own activity; and, second, in order to do this he must come into direct contact With realities. The first of these is pretty generally recognized. Its newness lies in its application. Only that which a person does for himself ever becomes really his own. No child ever learned to walk or talk except by walking or talking. No man ever learned a trade but by working at it. N 0 one has religion unless it be experimental religion. Why call ye me tLord, Lord, and do not the things which I sayJWi So it is in education. The finest theoretical teaching ever devised by the wit of man never produced a real doctor or lawyer or teacher. He must first work at the job. Good English does not permit us to say, NThe e174e teacher learns the boy to writeW Why ! It is grammatically bad be- cause it is psychologically impossible. The boy must learn it for him- self. But the New Education goes beyond this. It objects to the sentence, HThe teacher teaches the boy to writef, It holds that the teacher can do more than create an environment in Which the boy Will teach himself to write. In the case of my own handwriting, I ought to say, perhaps, that there is no teacher I can conscientiously lay it on to. But illustrations need not be multiplied. Self-activity, the first great tenet of the New Education, is a principle Which iinds instant and universal approval in theory, but Which is only beginning to force its way into pedagogical practice. Yet Mother Nature employs it in her miraculous teaching of every human and every animal and every plant, and her teaching is strictly individual. Her method is so illume inating that I crave you to indulge me in taking a few minutes to describe it. Have you ever thought how much a child has to learn Without human teaching during the first four years of life? Consider that at the beginning its mind is a blank, void both of understanding and accumulated experience of sensation, and With no conception either of itself or of existences out- side of itself; that its body, although a beautiful mechanism, is yet only a mechanism, not subject to conscious control and With sensations which register no conscious impression except pain; that shape, solidity, space are uninterpreted by its nerves of touch; that sounds have no significance to its ears, and light no meaning to its eyes. A wonderful bundle of potentalities, but how helpless, how like a vegetable its existence! But now, 0 human pedagogue, stand silent With humility and awe and observe Nature, Queen of Teachers, at her task working from Within outward. Soon you Will see the little hands groping, gropingefalteringly and pathetically exploring the huge unknown. They encounter an obstacleethe folds of its dress, the rail of its oribeand you see the little fingers catch and clutch and cling like tiny tendrils. The Queen of Teachers is giving Baby his first faint lesson in space and solidity Solid Geometry, if you please. Watch further, and you Will see the lesson infinitely and patiently repeated With numberless and subtle variations. Baby is learning roughness and smoothness and hardness and softness and warmness and coldness and texture and a host of things. High School students call the subject Physics. But he has not yet called into play his chief endowment. For a very obvious and absolutely essential though temporary purpose, Providence has placed his most sensitive and most intelligent nerves of touch and his most efhcient muscles in the rosy circle of his lips. Behold, now the roving hands encounter something Which they can move. Unhesitatingly it is transferred to his mouth for further study and examination. Stick or stone or toy or bugehe neither shows nor feels partiality. His ideas of sanitation are defective, but his method is soientifioehe is making the best use of his one real talent. ems He has now progressed sufficiently to receive a lesson in the most abstruse subject that can engage the mind of man. His two restless, dise covering hands encounter one another and clasp together With caress- ing touch. Instantly his face glows With delight and lights up With its Iirst look of human intelligence. A great event has happened. Hitherto, When he touched things, his brain registered only one sen- sation. But now he experiences a double sensation, the feel of each hand upon the other. He begins to apprehend the distinction between the Self and the Not-Self. Consciousness begins to dawn that he is a living soul. Seniors in college reverently name the subject Philosophy or Ontology. Descartes, most eminent philosopher, enuntiated its mightiest truth in his epochemaking proposition, Cogito, ergo sum,e I think, therefore I am. But Baby, delightedly continuing his investi- gations, demonstrates the same proposition to his immense satisfaction by eircumspectly placing his toe in his mouth. The infinitely Wise, infinitely patient Teacher now takes her pupil more severely in hand. His consciousness of self-hood having dawned, she rushes him Without oompunotion into her Whole broad curriculum. Some object dangles before his hitherto almost unseeing eyes. Its blotch of light or blot of color rivets his attention. Swift and pur- poseful he reaches and grasps it in his hands. And now another mar- vel is occurring. He is learning to associate the Visual appearance of solidity With the feel of solidity. So, also, in lesson after lesson he learns to correlate the appearance of roundness With the feeling of roundness, the appearance and the feel of squareness, the appearance and the feel of smoothness, and softness, and warmth, and so on in combinations Without end. And if by chance any object possesses taste, he Will surely correlate that sensation With the others, for he never fails to investigate that proposition. Thus he proceeds, in- cessantly busy, learning bit by bit to feel and see and hear and taste and smell, training his five senses to react singly and in conjunction, and storing every impression in the oapacious memory of his sub- conscious self for future reference. The all-Wise Teacher now decides to widen the range of his operations. Heretofore he has been active but stationary. In antici- pation of the new lesson, the Teacher has from the first been keeping his muscles inordinately busy. At this juncture, some particularly luscious and supremely desirable object looms unattainable just be yond his reach,-n10st likely a caterpillar or a sharp bit of glass. XVith many a squirm and grunt and considerable 10st motion, he essays the great art of self-propulsion. Eventually he Wins the goal. Henoeforth he spends all the time he has-and he has all the time there isein learn- ing to crawl. Success abundantly crowns his efforts. Though greater triumphs still he before him, he can now boast With Monte e176- Eristo, ttThe world is mine! He combines the new activity with all the old, for Nature as a teacher gives frequent re- Views and believes in correlation,ethe assimilation of the new to the old, of the unknown to the known. He fairly radiates energy. Its a large world he has found, and he has much to inquire of it,;and he has got started late. He investigates everything, untrarnmeled by convention. A bucket of coal is as full of interest as a peek of dia- monds. In all the wide circle of the stars, what other created thing is there that is as eternally diligent, as enthusiastically and conscientiously persevering, as absolutely unrebufi'able bV bumps and errors, as a crawling infant? Nature, the Teacher, has no diflieultv in arousing Interest0 and securing Attention. But he does not long reinain satisfied. He observes with immense interest that other people travel about upreared on one end, which seems a much more desirable mode of locomotion than his own. Pulling himself upright by a chair or table, he discovers that the bifurcated end of himself seems really designed for the improved method of travel. He resolves to adopt it, and with him to will is to act. But he has a most complicated piece of machinery to master. Learned anatomists have written fat, wise books about the elaborate system of bony levers, and the many joints, tendons, muscles, nerves, and neryeeoenters of which Baby must learn to be engineer, captain and pilot, if he is able to walk Consider this mechanism for a moment.Fr01n toe to ball of foot is a lever from ball to ankle another, and so from ankle to knee, from knee to hip, and above the hip is a very elaborate series in spine and neck. These levers variously connect with one another by hinge joints,11niversal joints, or toggle joints, and all must be made to work in unison to support his weight. Each lever 1s attached to two opposing sets of 1n11seles,for1ning a series whose relative tension must be adjusted to a nieety, and the whole mechanism is surmounted by the heaviest head and brain, relatively, in animated nature. This is the machine which the Teacher directs him to balance in an upright pos- ition, keep in poise, and cause to move and steer obedient to his will. No other animal has such a task, and no other could accomplish it perfectly if it had. A four-footed beast, without brains sufficient to learn to walk, has a leg at each corner, like a table, and it walks, prac- tically without learning, to keep from falling. A two legged creature, as a bird, hasa aspread of feet that on Baby would look like open umbrellas provided with automatic braces which make a fall almost impossible. But Baby must consciously master every element and principle of the complicated art of walking, and the task is of such exceeding diflieulty that the Teacher postpones the first lesson until a time when most other animals of Baby s age have become parents or grand parents. Yet when the time comes neither Teacher nor pupil hesitates at difficulties. The first attempt ends in failure. And the H177- second. And the third. And many. But the Teacher is insistent. And so Baby, undismayed, is up and trying it again, and again, and yet again, until at length the VVonder-day comes when Baby walks erect, kingliest of all the creatures which God has made. Now he must practice the difhoult art, practice continually. Soon the faltering steps grow firm and sure. He grows fleet of foot. He can walk serenely and sedately if he chooses, but he seldom so chooses. Rather does he prefer to run and skip and jump and throw his body and contort himself. These are the exercises set him by the silent Teacher in order that he may win complete mastery over the wonderful mechanism of his body and make it strong and supple and responsive to his will. The inner Teacher whispers in his inner, secret ear that hard years will come to him, and work, and danger, and that he must be prepared. Strange as it may seem to a human teacher, he never rebels at any lesson, nor shirks, but throws into the performance of each ' hard task all the Vigor and enthusiasm of his earnest young being. Mother Nature, in her teaching, has no difficulty in securing Co- operation. While all this is occurring, he has been learning another accoms plishment, more wonderful than all the others. In his earliest crawling days, the baby mind, once so like a vacuum, begins to palpitate with ideas and emotions bursting for utterance. For a long time he is attend tive to the strange noises that issue from the mouths of his elders, and discovers that certain of these sounds are invariably associated with certain ideas or events. Forthwith he resolves also to become an articulate being. Time would fail to tell how this greatest of wonders is accomplished. It is sufficient to say that it would take a physician half a day just to name all the parts, muscles, and organs of chest, throat, pharanx, mouth, tongue and lips, and to describe the many adjustments and correspondences of each with all the rest, which Baby must learn in order to master the mere mechanics of articulation; and the myriad nerve ooeordinations necessary to associate the right sounds with the right ideas is more complicated still. But urged by the even prompting, ever-experimenting Teacher within, he does it all,eand Baby speaks. Straightway comes parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles, and other relatives in troops, and prattle baby-talk at him to confirm his every error. But he is too shrewd for them. His attentive ear, catching them off their guard, disoerns the fraud as they converse with one another. One by one he abandons all his own mistakes, and triumphantly takes up all of theirs. This is about the only human help he gets in learning to talk. But how diligently does he practice upon his new-found instrument of expression! No musician ever did or ever can practice his scales so assiduously. He tries its soft stops and its loud stops, its high register and its low register, its major keys and its minor keys, its ' sweet tones and its harsh tones. He makes it e178a imitate ohoo-choos and bow-wows and brass bands and everything that makes a noise, especially if it be a good, loud noise. He makes it express the entire gamut of his emotions, and his emotions seem always to be intense. He oonverses fluently on all subjects and on no subject, and with hearers or without. Nature has no difficulty in keeping the child interested in the Language Arts. Year after year he keeps it up, and not until his Teacher is satisiied that he has tested and mastered his wonderful instrumentality in its every capacity, does he stop. Some who claim to know a great deal more about the subject than I do, say that if Baby happens to be a little lady, she never does stop. It is thus that Mother Nature, with the sage wisdom of the ages, teaches and trains and develops every living thing by the principle of self activity. Are ourselves too old to sit a moment at her feet? You who have children and are wont to grow irritated at their incessant riot and chatter and who try to rebuke them into quietude and silence, know you not that they are obeying the primordial law of their being, as did you at their age and all your forbears who traveled this way before you? Know you not that the wise Teacher is giving them lessons in oalisthenics, voice-training, language, music, science, and a great ours rieulum of subjects for which mortals have no names, and that they are but dutifully practicing the exercises which she prescribes for them? Know you not also that trying to stay that glorious current of activity is like trying to turn back Niagara, and that if by any pos- sibility your efforts at repression could be wholly successful the result would be children robbed of their childhood and destined to grow to stunted manhood and womanhood? And you who essay to teach, know you not that the dunoes in your school may be star pupils in the school of your greater rival, and that in after life they may far outstrip those whom you now place above them? Do you perceive the great truth;and can you practice it-ethat the only education is auto-education, self-aetivity? Think, 0 teacher, upon the wonderful instruction which has given the child speech and language before he comes to you, and then suppose that you could so fashion your method upon Natures method as to bring the subjects which you teach within that current of never-failing interest and zeal which he accords to all of Nature ,s subjectsewhat could you not accom- plish? Suppose that you could aequire-as indeed you can! such rare insight into child nature that you could make your pupils as eager to read printed thought as they were as babies to understand spoken thought, as eager to. write their ideas as they were to speak them, think you not that they would learn to read and write in months instead of years? Nature encompasses her great teaching swiftly as well as surely. Her method is simple. She places each little learner where he must learn to speak and walk in order to cope with his environment. Soon a179a he feels the need. Immediately, spontaneously, there wells up within him from some great source of power a tremendous ambition that bat- tles down all obstacles and goes straight to the goal. This is self- activity, the universal requisite of progress. It is this which the New Education is aiming to actualize in teaching and to make practical. It has already produced great changes even since the youngest of these graduates were children at school, but I be- lieve that it will work a complete revolution within your lifetime and 1nine.Recenth accounts have appeared of how a number of university professo1s adherents of the New Psycholog y, have trained their own children 1n accordance with this principle, and with almost unbelieving results. By radically new methods they have succeeded in utilizing the divine flow of their ohildrenls natural activities so that the children have learned to read and write at the age of three, have learned to speak fluently three or four languages instead of one, have become expert in the highest mathematics at an age when most children are still droning over the multiplication table, and have been fully prepared for college by the age of eleven or twelve. Some have thought that these children are prodigies or that their attainments are the result of a cruel process of forcing, but those who claim to know say that they are normal play- ful childi en who have not spent more time in study than most children but who have spent this time 1n learning their subjects instead of bad habits of study. I would not have word of mine cause any one of you to take leave of the saving grace of common sense, but I believe that as teachers of the young you owe it to yourselves and those in your Charge to keep yourselves open- minded regarding this new movement and to inform yourselves as fully as possible concerning such experi- ments. My own conviction is that in fifty years cases like this will not be regarded as abnormal or especially exceptional. The second tenet of the New Education is that children, and indeed all learners, must come into immediate, first-hand contact with realities. This is really but a corollary of the first, for activity spent upon verbal abstractions does not encounter sufficient solidity to insure progress. It is just here that the New Education differs most vitally from the old. The just criticism of the old is that it used too much talk about things and too little contact with things. Thirty or forty years ago the college professor of chemistry taught his subject by lectures and blackboard demonstrations, performing an occasional experiment before the class in support of some principle enunciated by him. The function of the student was to look and listen-an easy task apparently, yet Chemistry was one of the subjects which students dreaded. The average High School of today gives a better understanding of the subject than the best college of a generation ago, because the rise of the laboratory has given students a chance to get first-hand instead of second-hand infor- mation. The time is past when the instructor in science, or philosophy, e180e or medicine, or even theology can hand down systems of dogma from which there can be no appeal. It is said that when Prof. Eafinesque, who was the first to employ the laboratory method west of the Alleganies, first ventured to bring plants into his botany recitation, his colleagues in the faculty strongly condemned the innovation as Ntending to convert a serious recitation into the mere examination of curiosities, thus wasting much valuable time. They seem to have thought that students could learn more about plants by reading or hearing. about them than by examining them. It seemed reasonable to them and to most teachers of their day that because an investigator could compress the labors of a lifetime into a textbook or a series of lectures, therefore students, by reading the book or listening to the lectures, could learn in a few months what had cost a scholar a. life-time. For students to investigate for them- selves would be ffwasting much valuable time,7 It now seems almost axiomatic that the generalizations and conclusions of another are but useless luggage to one whose own immediate experience is not a fair equivalent of the experience upon which they are founded. Learning descriptions, memorizing definitions, reproducing text-books 0r lectures nearly always become ends instead of means, and s0 surely as they do they serve as insulators to keep the mind from contact with the realities they are supposed to convey. The New Education aims to bring the learner into the presence of reality under the guidance but without the intervention of text or teacher. It demands that the student be given a chance to work out his own salvation, that he be permitted to supply his own conscious needs, that he be not a spectator but a participant. Education, rightly conceived, is not a process of accepting but a process of achieving. The ideal pupil is not an impassive receptivity but an active investigator, not a mere delver into books, but a purposeful deer 0f deedseeven by the cunning of his two hands when that avails most for him. Somewhat strangely7 the professional schools, addressed as they are to minds of considerable maturity, were the first exponents of teaching by contact, and are still the best; while the primary schools, dealing with those whose very being impels to investigate concrete things, arelon the average the poorest. The business student learns to keep books by keeping books. Beginning with the simpler things, he learns progressively by doing. The prospective physician has his laboratories, his clinic, and actual hospital practice under direction. The law student has his moot court, and reads the actual decisions of the courts instead of text-books about them, as formerly. The tech- nological student spends much of his time in the laboratories and shops, experiencing at first-hand the problems of his profession. The colleges and secondary schools come next with their constantly increasing laboratory facilities, their extension of laboratory methods e181e to branches once deemed hostile to such instruction, and their in- creased use of ttfield work. ,7 In my own time I have witnessed the pass- ing of the ponderons tomes misnained ttEnglish Literature,H and the substitution therefor of a limited number of masterpieces to be studied at first-hand. In lieu of examinations in Physics, some colleges require the student to construct some machine-say an electric motor-and to make it run. Last of all and where the need is greatest comes the great mass of primary schools; but it is just here in my opinion that the greatest change of all is imminent. Already much has been accomplished. Nature study, manual training, art work, object lessons7 oalisthenics, and the kindergarten methods are becoming common, although not infrequently they are the veriest pretense, and at the best many of them will soon be regard ed as the clumsy efforts of pioneers. Yet we have every reason to rejoice at the progress that is being made. In an address a few years ago7 Dr. Faunee, President of Brown University, made this interesting contrast between one of the most progressive of our modern elementary schools and the school of his childhood. ttRecentlyW he says, tiI went into the practice school in connection with the University of Chicago. I saw the children gathered around a teacher who was reading to them y the poem of Hiawatha, and their eyes were wide with wonder. Then they went over into the Field Columbian Museum and saw the materials of Indian life, the tents and the warnpum, the feathers and the mocca- sins, and all the utensils of the Indian household. Then they returned and modeled in clay an Indian village, with Hiawatha at one end of it, and all over it the Irarks of the creative imagination. I, too, learned Hiawatha. 3t 5? IF it I could spell the name of every tree in Hiawathals forest, but would not have known one of them if I had seen it. I could pronounce the name of every beast on the American continent or in Noahls ark, but knew nothing about any of them. 95 lg l? t I might be taken as an average sample of the school product of the best schools of New England thirty years ago, and I am compelled to say that for the first eighteen years of my life, not a teacher ever showed me a plant7 or a tree, or a star, or a liower, or a fossil, or a living ereaturefl Not unfairly, this may be taken .as indicative of the movement in primary education during the last thirty years. The Chicago school makes knowledge real by presenting real things. The children heard the story, then saw its materials, and then reproduced with their hands. In the school of thirty years ago they spelled and pronounced the words. Need we ask which gained sure and abiding knowledge7 or which grew more ! Eighteen years of lifeeyears pulsing with the passion for seeing and hearing and handling and makingegiven over to sitting up straight, spelling and pronouncing, unrelieved by a single instance of concrete teaching! Do they not call to mind the generations of children who have spent their entire school lives in juggling words instead Of - 182 R. seeing realities and making things; who have toiled over problems in ttarithmeticf when they might have been measuring and comparing and constructing and gaining accuracy in the common calculations of life; who dissected dead sentences, when they might have been joyously expressing their own live thoughts and learning to speak properly; Who plodded through the pages of ttal7 Geography, with the prospect of taking up a larger book of the same kind when they got through, with- out onoe being asked to read the clear page of Gods good green earth, with its hills and vales and waterways eloquent with interest and beauty? Such teaching was then a tragedy. Today it is little short of a crime. Small wonder it is that boys in such schools play tthookeyf, They have to get out in order to learn something. I know one that did. And now, you who this week complete one stage of your prepara- tion, which kind of teaching is to be yours? In Naturels school, children learn to live, learn to liye the life of the world about them, the life of the environment for which they are fitted. So in your schools should the children learn to live the life that is theirs and not the life of some other time or place, learn to live their own lives spontaneously and joyously, Tet so enriched by your larger life and larger View that they may interpret the world about them and sympa- ifies Education and make it speak these words: ttIf you will listen to me I will show you many deeds of ancient heroes. I will make clear to you their wonderful life and words. I will give you experience, and your soul, which is the most wonderful thing in you, I will adorn with many fine decorations, namely, soundness of character, right living, reverence, mildness, humility, intelligence, strength, the love of the beautiful, and the longing after that which. is most lofty. These make the unsullied ornaments of the soul. Whatever is old and whatever is modern will not escape you, but the future will you also foresee in my company, and in short every thing that exists, divine and human, I shall teach. you at no distant dayW It is such enrichment of life as this that should be the animating ideal of all your teaching. Education is possible because the world in which we live is a coherent and rational world, fundamentally good and beautiful, and because children, though unformed and capricious, are sound at heart and by the law of their being designed to live in just such a world. Correspondence to environment is the law of life, and governs the entire organic world. Progressive and comprehending oor- respondenee to environment is education, but it is attainable only by human beings. And it is education in this sense that distinguishes the cultured man from the brutish man. Robert Browning understood this profoundly. Listen to his expression of it: -183e t t t '1: youtve seen the world, eThe beauty and the wonder and the power, The shapes of things, their colors, lights and shades Changes, surprises,eand God made it all! eFor What?

S. G SWANBERG. m, HE 1911 season of the inter-departnient base ball league was u 4f; x 2; a notably successful one, viewed from every angle. Four teams registered in the campaign for the coveted pennant J which was won by the stalwart defenders of the purple and gold. The champion Scientiiies were led by Captain ttVinCett Walsh, and under the managerial control of A. C. Barnes. The PharmieeMedic aggregation, which pluckily disputed the hrstehonor title to the very last ditch, were managed by H. W. Helman, and the teams representing the Law and Engineering Departments were organe ized and under the bidding of those doughty Valpo athletes, D. L. Giffon and ttJimmie Sellers. Sellers, who left school at the close of the spring term, handed over his job to H. D. Buzby, who piloted the tail-enders 0n the final lap of their unpretentious career. Inevitable wetness delayed the opening of the season until Satur- day, April 15, a date when pent-up enthusiasm of several months, accum- ulation was most appropriately expended on College Hill. The band was pressed into service and led the battling cohorts and their rah! rah! supporters to the held of combat. The ten-game schedule, author: ized by the executive council of the league, over which Prof. B. F. VVil- liams presided, was played out to the last scratch and closed with the championship struggle between the Scientifics and PharmiceMedics at the fair grounds on Saturday, that first sweltering day of July. Rain too frequently interrupted the even tenor of the prearranged schedule and postponed contests necessitated more than one aH-day ses- sion at the ball park. The closing of the spring term served materially to disintegrate the original Engineer and P-M. organizations. but both crews were represented by new talent and stayed in the race until the finish. The legal team disbanded 0n the termination of the scholastic year of the Law Department and in consequence made unconditional surrender of their rights to any of the Hrewards in storett by forfeiting the iinal two games for which they were slated.

DEPARTMENT OF DENTISTRY On account of the clinical advantages this department is located in Chicago, just one block from our medical de- partment. The building, 80 x 120 feet, 5 stories high, is occupied entirely by the Dental School. The school has been established for a quarter of a cen- tury under the well-known name of Chicago College of Dental Surgery Dr. Truman W. Brophy, M. D., D. D. S.. LL. D., has been Dean of the College from the beginning and con- tinues to act in the same capacity. His name is favor- ably known in dental circles in every city the world over. Students enter the Dental Department at the beginning of the year only. All other Departments at any time. DEPARTMENT OF M EDICINE The course of study in this department is the same as that of the best medical schools. Valparaiso University owns its college and hospital buildings in both Valparaiso and Chicago. The Chicago buildings are just across the street from the Cook County Hospital, in one of the greatest Medical Centers in the world. The Medical department is conducted in accordance with the laws of the State and the Degree of Doctor of Medicine is conferred on all who complete the course. Two years of the work may be done in Valparaiso, thus greatly reducing the expenses, or the entire four years may be done in Chicago. The salaries of the instructors in all the departments of the University equal those of the best state and private universities. The low rates have not been made at the expense of a high grade of instruction, but have been made by applying business principles to 6iThe Cost of Living so that the most satisfactory accommodations for board and room may be had at from $1.70 to $2.75 per week. Tuition $18 per quarter of twelve weeks or $60 if paid in advance for 48 weeks. If the entire tuition is paid in ad- vance for the year it includes all of the departments, ex- cepting Medical, Denial and private lessons in Music. The total expense of board, tuition, and furnished room for the regular school year tthirty-six weeks1 need not exceed $111.00, or for forty-eight weeks, $141.60.
