Although handicapped in many ways, as only those connected with the work can appreciate, we feel that we have done our best. It has been our aim to make this work as valuable a publication as possible. We have endeavored to record that part of our last yeafs work which we all wish to remember. We have followed no established precedent in the publication of this annual, but we have gotten many valuable suggestions from the two preceding annuals. A large share of the success of this book is due to the very efficient Board of Managers, Who have taken care of the fmancial part of the work. We desire especially to express our gratitude here to Miss Anna Prange, H. A. Lane, Paul Mather and M. S. Hoseyn Khan for the art work. THE BOARD OF EDITORS.

N AN address of this kind one is confronted With i the dual difficulty of being both brief and to the point. Of the two, the latter is the most difficult and When I have finished I am not certain you will think I have succeeded. You may judge for your- selves concerning that. As brevity lies entirely in my own hands I assure you I Will not fail to measure up to the full standard in at least one attribute of a Presidents address to his class. ttBreVity is said to be the soul of Wit? and I chal- lenge you to deprive me of at least one evidence of this rare quality. The closing of the school year naturally turns oneis mind to the student body. The vast host, Which goes out from our institutions of learning each year, is composed of individuals of various objects in life. These in general however seem to me to belong to two classes. There are those Who have pursued their courses With the main object in view of obtaining a liveli- hood. However creditable this may be it is not the ideal Which is conducive to the production of the highest type of character. No doubt our economic system is largely responsible for this condition and yet I believe considerable criticism must be placed upon the individuals themselves. There also seems to be a tendency among our institutions of learning to eliminate 30 all studies except those that bear directly upon the profession for Which one is being trained. The tendency itself is not so much to be feared as the spirit of humanity that is producing it. I do not believe that six weeks course in agriculture Will produce as high a type of character as two years study of Greek although there are some Who seem to think so. Cultural development is not necessarily limited to any par- ticular occupation in life, but depends upon the View point of the one Who is engaged in it. A blacksmith, Who strives to make the object he is moulding conform to his best thought concerning it, has taken a long step in the direction of true culture. On the other hand we find those Who study as a means '60 an end. They look upon the world as a home; the world With its books, nature and humanity as being able to contribute something to the fullness of life. They are thrilled and en- nobled by the contemplation of truth in the study of Mathe- matics ; humbled and yet exalted by the grandeur of the heavens in the study of Astronomy; purified and enriched by the ideal creations of Literature. Starting each days work With a fresh vision of the world, they strive on toward an ideal unrealized and yet ever beckoning onward toward a greater perfection. Avoiding petty prejudices, because they have V glimpse of the deeper things of life, and With a mind to receive new truth, they pass through life serv- alizing at least in a measure What it means to caught a always 099.11 ing humanlty Te truly live. , a . . In a suggestive way, only I have tried to brmg before your indS tWO views of life, As a member of a vast throng, Whose n1 ward ranks are disappearing over the hill, we journey, leav- ifE; behind us a record Which Will stand throughout the ages signifying either a useful or a wasted life. Back of us is the inhnite past; beyond an infinite future and in between our little span of earthly life. Thought is paralyzed When it tries to seek out the supreme end of this gradually developing uni- verse. We do not know and it is perhaps best that we dont. I am certain however, that the noblest thoughts of the finest part of humanity at her highest moments can not be far from the truth. Controlled by his lowest passions man is an animal; by his medium a Citizen; by his highest he is consciously divine. In conclusion I would leave this question With you. Are you to be a mere product of a mechanical age or a being that can respond to the softer and more delicate strains of. melody that pass unheard by the maddened crowd; a soul that feels the eternal nature of truth and beauty? In the midst of ad- versity would you create from the seeming ruins an ideal world, the Vision of Which Will fan the feeble spark of dying hope into joyous flame? I do not know, perhaps you do. 31 HISTORY OF THE CLASSIC CLASS OF I913 C. o. LUCAS, A. B. ,13. '0 REITERATE the past events of any class, I deem i V it 'best as is the custom of great historians, to I evolve from the simple to the more complex, inter- mingling a tttruthti occasionally to add spice to the narrative. In the beginning, my thoughts wandered doubtfully and far away, building a dream for this day. This dream is not from a Poetts mind, nor a little dream that is supposed to rhyme, but one that is-arounded with sleep. On September 17, 1912, some three thousand heterogeneous inviduals, hailing from every part of the world, and Arkansas, assembled themselves in the Valparaiso University Auditorium. It was here President Brown greeted them with a cordial wel- come and gave instruction as to the organization of their years school work, and also informing them in a gentle way what was expected and what not to do. I hardly think it necessary to repeat the ttdonttsf your college friends at home can write them to you. Scattered among this vast multitude, were eighteen enter- prising, wide-awake individuals. And no brighter, dearer, 10V- lier creatures ever skittered through the depths of a historians dream. No group of individuals has furnished more historye for a class historian to coin. No group has shown more class spirit and done better work than this group, I name collectively, the Classic Class of 1913.,i 32 Although few in number we have never lowered our arms, but have stood face to face with the boldness of a Spartacus, to threaten and command, even unto a logic exam. Side by side we have sprawled. At times almost pulled down into the broil of defeat, only to be heaved up a degree nearer our goal. We have found that a life of toil is not without enjoyment, yet we have learned that duty should precede pleasure, and have never let pleasure usurp the domain of work. We have learned that work and patienees are the best birthrights which man still retains, the most Vigorous of mental medicines. I believe the Class admires the spirit of that noble knight who rode into the streets of Orleans, with these words carved upon the housings of his saddle, UQui non laborat neque mandu- eabit. Under the regime of Mr. A. R. Hickman7 our Class Presi- dent for the first term, every thing moved along like the Silent oleaginous fiow of a frictionless machine. Occasionally J 0hn L. Darrough amidst the snores and deathly silence of the class room,'wou1d steal in a question seeking iielucidationXi 01' 0118 of Mr. C. P. Stoneis primeval rabbits would gnaw through the mossy rock wall, confiscate a L. H. Wilson blackberry and Cut for the tall timber, there to enjoy, amidst the rustling leaves and by the side of the flowing waters, its fragrant taste. V MIR J . E. Worthington as President, with the assistance of G. v. Fuguitt as Vice-President was able to hold the class ther during the second term. Probably no term in the year toge difticult a task, for it was then we were taught to reason Wa? :31y To show the difficulty we encountered, let some one loilc the'illustration of a iibarrel of apples. Given the top fzy; as large, red, mellow, Jonathans. Now-prove-that the entire barrel will be as the top layer. It is impossible, you Mr. Abramovitch, do you think so? It was during this term the honorary offices were bestowed. Mr. A, R. Hickman was chosen orator. The Class reasoned he could best fill this position because he could always have some one near by his side to give him inspiration in the formation of his oration. Mr. Barker to Mr. Hickman, itWhat did he say when you told him you were going to marry his daughterTi ttsajd I need not come to him for sympathy, said he had troubles of his own. Mr. Hickman in turn says Mr. Barker is lazy, because he is trying to get bald so he wont have to comb his hair. The Prophecy fell to Mr. Worthington, a married man with auburn hair. Evidently the Class, especially Miss Dorothy DeWitt and Miss Gabriel Armstrong thought his foreast would come nearer being true than an inexperienced man. Horace 0n the mArt of Poetry? for which this 1913 Classic Class is very familiar, says, iiA poem should be attractive as well as faultlessW The Class selected Mr. C. P. Stone as Poet. The unique unexpected combination of words which he always uses will give the attractiveness, his ability to think clear will remedy the faults. He has the imagination to paint a horse7s neck to a human head, and put beautiful plumes over the limbsf, Mr. say '3 33 It was obvious that the Class Historian would havevlittle to say, and furthermore, the less said the better. Knowing the present Historian could say but little, the Class concluded to honor him with the position. I thank you, members of the Class. I hope I have complied with your request. After several ballots, and exciting speeches, Mr. F. C. Heinl was elected President for the third term. No term passed away so quickly. The reeitations in Political Economy were so interesting few cared to sleep. Mr. Abramovitehls continuous defense of socialism, together with Prof. Carveris remarks against Bryanism and the ttBull Moose made it all the more interesting. At the present age I have but little desire to see the Social- ists run our government, and equally as well the tiBull MooseW But when one scores the iiGreat Peerless Leader, our present Secretary of State, a man who prefers itGrape Juiceli instead of Champagne, a man whose influence is doing more today for world peace than any other man living, a man with progres- sive ideas, and great enough to make the world consider them wif this be HBryanism, T give us more, for such is the salvation of the human race. And now the final quarter of the year is almost past. Mr. L. H. Wilson is our last President, and an excellent one, is he. The little band, the class, is soon to be separated. Soon to cope with the ooniiicts of life. We have our instrument of defense. We have earned it through years of hard toil. Few are able to boast of a better. A fundamental education. If in the struggle for existence we fail, little hope will be to those less equipped. So let us in our onward climb, faithfully strive for success. We will be tempted, but the effects of temptation depends on us. Let us nip the evil in the bud, and avoid the corruption. Let us crush the serpents egg, and weill need not fear the cockatrice. To run sometimes is no disgrace, but it isnit necessary to develop the hind legs at the exclusion of the ears. May we follow the teachings of our beloved Dean. It would be an unfinished history if I failed to speak of this noble man. So unique, so precise, s0 inspiring and so sweet are his words. With a master mind and like a master mason among his craftmen, he labored among us. Teaching us, not as book worms, but the broader view of life. The love of humanity. Silently and faithfully, 110 iiourish, n0 blaring sound, but peace- ably and quietly he performed his duty. His teaching can never be forgotten, and often memory will recall the many pleasant hours spent in his class. No less can we forget the sweet disposition of the man himself, so gentle was he. The Class drinks good health to our Dean, Professor H. N. Carver. I conclude knowing we are soon to part, which to us all is very full of pain. To our Alma Mater, who has nursed 11s with such generous sympathy and kindness, we offer from a full heart our sincere and earnest and grateful thanks. When the last echo of our voice shall have died away, may she be able to kneel and in silence utter, HWell done, thou good and faithful servants. 34 THE ART OF CLASS POETRY CALVIN P. STONE. Of art creative; and the choice of themes, Which with a medley of wild fancy teems. Of this Iill treat, ttThe Art of Poetry ; Thy aid I beg, Oh Muse! and grant to me: The boon to image true each warblerls note, And, lest I be obscure, some lines to quote; Also, to show hothorace plies his skill As critic, leading one or all, at will, Straightway t0 pyre bedeeked with sulphur flowers, All those who labor in the museis bowers. T0 fate, dear friends, I tender privilege, By magic art, to say when my colleagues Shall take their turn; though I myself am fate, I ill spin the wheel unmoved by love or hate. Come presto change, I turn it thrice about; The Furies will old Blackstone Iirst come out. yTis trueithe poem wins credit for you, ' Old thoughts by skillful setting you 7ve made new; Yet, terms I note whose meanings are not clear, Good in their place you say,ethe court roomls sphere. 35 And one may see, when argument you tried, Ambiguous terms with llnon sequitur vied. Of such species, if I'be not amiss, A fitting type would be somewhat like this: The man who is most hungry eats the most, And he who eats the least is most hungry, Ergo, who eats the least, we see, eats most. Of such as this Ilm sure there is a host. The Law laid down, we look just as before To fate for choice, she names the orator. Mostly when poems open with a grand Imposing air, we may surmise at hand N0 weighty thoughts, here and there a snatch 0f words full rounded meant the ear to catch. These lines, I ween, high flowing, blunt, and loose, Read loud, will just the right effect produce: This mundane sphere is wrapped in mystery, I cognited a great monstrosity; The heavens flamed, Zeus cracked the ethereal dome, A wood mouse left anon his downy home. Thus grandeur soaring into bombast falls, And lowly theIi like merest reptile crawls. Let us now for a moment take a glance At Engineers, Who usually enhance Whate,er they try; and judge With nicest care How much their shoulders can and can not hear. The work conforms to rule; old axioms7 trued By Newton, here again are viewed In poets garb, uncongruous and base, Where naught is of a piece or in its place. The Whole is formed to meet utility7 Devoid of humorous tone as you can see. 7Tis but a bale of truths tied up in rhyme, Striving, in vain, to high Parnassus climb. To Scientific Horace comes erelong, And draws distinct the line 7tween right and wrong. Of Scientific theory there7s a smatter; And here a pun or two on laws of matter, Or how some late born force has bridged the chasm Twixt clay and man, by making protoplasm. You state the theory With consumate grace, All very fine but Wholly out of place. On Educational, in laurel wreath, A wilting look the critic doth bequeath. Their poem tells how interest puts to rout What beech and hickory gogies first worked out; Also, in brief, it sets forth the account Of how the class Will stamp all ignorance out 36 Of any one, Who Will but take the pains, To lay down What his meager purse contains; Forgetting that Whatever one would teach, 7Tis always best to practice, then to preach. Come Classic forth, at last bewail your woes; Your brain shall Whirl round like a bee inelosed Within a drinking glass; your ears will burn, The heart rise up like dasher on a churn. In striving hard the reader to surprise, With common things show in uncommon wise ; You made your dolphins through the forest roam, Your Wild boars ride upon the billows foam. The poetis license you have pressed too far, Hypotheeating things that clash and jar. ttOne day7 just how, as yet no one has said To neck of horse was joined a human head, From vital clay, sprang body and the limbs, With feathers daubed on various as your whims, So that a woman, lovely to a wish, Went tailing off into a lothsome fishy To all the critic speaks concise and terse, Advising that they polish well their verse: ttO yes, believe me, you must draw your pen, Not once or'twiee, but oler and o,er again Through What you ive written, if you would entice, The man who read you once, to read you twice? WHAT OF THE NIGHT? Oration by ALVIN R. HICKMAN. E ARE standing upon the threshold of Lifeis Day. We are in the morning of Youth, when prospects are bright and alluring. We have toiled along the pathways of knowledge, we have wrestled with, and have overcome many difficulties; we have sat at the feet of a prince among teachers; we have learned, I trust to know our limitations. The futureehow it grips and thrills! How we long to unfold the scroll 0f the fates,-to know what lies before us. The future leGreat are the deeds we shall do; wonderful, the achievements. Yes, our school-life is over. We have done our best; we have run our course; we have reached our goal; and now we await Success. Ah! this morning of Youth is fair and sweetr-the clear blue of open sky above us, the soft, green turf of Earth be- neath our feet, and Naturels lavish gifts on every side. And strong in the courage of Youth we are going forth, to-we know not what. It is good to live. True there are dark and stormy days; there will he struggles, and falls from which, it may be, some of us will never rise again. But thesesthings are far remote from us, we see them not. And so it is With hearts full of hope that we go to finish our work in that greatest of all universities, Life. And yet this thought comes to us,' sWhat of the NightiW This is an age of hurry and worry, an age of doing, an 37 age of struggling for power and wealth. T0 very many, Edu- cation means power to acquire honors and wealth. How de- graded is such an ideal Shall, we, in our advanced civilizae tion, still measure Success in dollars and cents? God grant that we may have greater and better resources than wealth and position, when Night at last draws her dark curtains about us. The door to Success is barred to no one. There is wealth for you and for me, there is fame, there is honor, there is power,eif we are willing to pay the price. There are dollars to be snatched from the poor; there are ways to defraud the wage-earners; there is power for the demogogue; there is fame, or at least notoriety, for the self-server,ebut what of the night? Ah, friends, Success, in its popular sense may never be ours, but what of that, if we have lived lives honest, upright, and helpful. Honors may never light upon us, but what matters that, if we have the consciousness of a life well-lived. The poet tells us HHitch your wagon to a starfi But we must first of all see that our wagon is in good running condi- tion, nor should we sit idly waiting for a star to pull us along. Beautiful indeed are the stars above, but should we walk thru- out our day with eyes lifted to the skies, while we tread upon. or pass over the iiowers of earth? Should we so strive after the unattainable that we neglect opportunities within reach? Duty does not always lead to the heights. More often it leads down into the dark, deep valleys, or across the dry, parched plains. Duty led Nathan Hale to the scaffold. Duty sent the famous Light Brigade to certain death. It has sent many a man to suffering and death. It may deprive us of joys and pleasures and friends and comforts. Yet what can exceed the joy of knowing that we have been true to our trust? Duty says, itDo right because it is right.H He who can forget or ignore the fact that people are watching him, is the man whose life will leave its impress on the world. Before us is the noon-day, With its heat and toil. Ah, yes, the tasks will be difficult, the sun will pour its pitiless rays upon us, our throats will be parched and burning, our muscles racked with pain. Could we but stop for a moment, could we only recline in the cool shade till the heat of the day is paste, but, dare we even think of rest when the day is not spent, and our work not doneo.2 As we go from here in the cool of the morning, we are very brave; we are equal to any task. But can we endure till evening comes? Shall we struggle on to the end or will Night overtake us as we lie at ease? Strong indeed will he be whom Night finds still toiling. But you say7 HWhat is the use? Does it pay if we are to reap no pecuniary beneiits, if we attain n0 honorsiw Remem- ber that Full many a gem of purest ray serene, The dark, unfathomld caves of ocean bear; Full many a flower is born to blush unseen7 And waste its sweetness 0n the desert air. 38 What though our lives are bounded by the lines that define our little neighborhood? If, in our humble way, we have done our best, what more can be expected of us? Why should the thought of a simple life, or even one of poverty, be distasteful to us? Is there, for honest poverty, That hangs his head, anl a7 that? The eoward-slave, we pass him by, We dare be poor for al that, For a, that, anl at that, Our toils obscure, ant al that; The ranks is but the guineals stamp; The man,s the gowd for a, that. What thol on homely fare we dine, Wear hodden-gray, ani a, that; Gie fools their silks, and knaves their Willey A manis a man for a7 that. For al that, an, at that, Their tinsel show, any a, that; The honest man, thol neler sae poor, Is king oi men for a, that. Classmates, what we are to be, rests with us. The day advances; shadows lengthen; Night comes. And with it comes rest for the weary. May we all feel, when the shadows fall about us, that we have done our best; that we have Put away self; that we have completed our tasks in the most creditable way. And may Night have no terrors for us, but breathe 3 sweet spirit of rest over all of us. FROM AN ALASKAN SNOWBANK Prophecy by J. EDGAR WORTHINGTON. w 3: THE summer of 1930 I received a commission ' from the United States Department of Education which caused me to leave for a year my work as Dakota and go to Alaska for the purpose of study- ing its school system. Alaska was to be admitted into the Union as a state on the 30th day of the following May. 80 my inspection was to be the last one before the school work of Alaska was entrusted to the state government. I had spent several months in going from place to place and had had a prohtable and delightful time. The winter had been passed in the Yukon region. By March, I had completed my work there, and desired to hasten to the southern coast. So, too early for safety, I with six companions left Fairbanks on the Yukon, expecting to cross the mountains and reach Sitka as early as possible. We had passed Mt. McKinley and had traveled southward for a few days when we encountered a severe snow-storm. Never have I experienced such a one. The snow was whirled about us in such a dense sheet we could not see each other. I became separated from the rest. I struggled 0n, endeavoring to regain my companions. But all in vain, for I had gone but a few feet when I sank down into the snow, exhausted. It covered me. Gradually I lost sensibility, I no longer felt the cold. I was dead to the world but my mind was still active. I realized that I was in a state of hibernation. True to the psychological law that a thought calls up a kindred one, my mind went back to Room C at Valparaiso University superintendent of a Village high school in South ' 39 where I had heard Prof. Weems explain that human hiberna- tion was possible, quoting an authority and citing an instance of it to prove his point. In thought thus being back at my Alma Mater I found that not only could I remember in detail my school life, but could also follow my classmates away from the well-remembered halls and trace their history up to the time of my peculiar sleep. Thinking that what I thus so mysteriously found out might be of interest to others I have here recorded it. First I went With' my seatmate, C. E. Gold, out into the world. The year following his graduation he spent as princi- pal of a high school in the West, but he did not find that work to his liking. So he returned to Valparaiso and completed the law course. He hung out his shingle in the town of his boy- hood, MeEwensville, Penn. He has been eminently successful and has been honored with many important offices by the home people. His prospects for the future, as a democratic politician of the Keystone state, are good. Incidentally he has not only much gold but has also married and has several young Golds. I remembered Miss Gabrielle Armstrong and how that, frightened by the preponderance of boys in the class, she hesi- tated to become a Classic. But finally the uniform good looks of the members conquered her timidity and during the third term she enrolled with us. She left the University to become a teacher of stenography in a business college. She spent much of her time in entrapping the heart of the president of the school. She was successful and now for twelve years she has divided her time between her home and the school and together they have developed the largest and best commercial college in their state. Again I thought myself seated in my accustomed seat in Room 6, listening to our beloved dean, Mr. Carver. Occasion- ally my eyes would wander across the aisle to a seat half of which was occupied by a fellow classmate, He had a seatmate in whom he was much interested, so much so that I fear the class discussion was oftentimes lost. Ah! how lovingly they beamed into each others eyes and with what animation did they whisper to each other! Fond recollections of past joys would come to me and I almost envied them their happy state. It would not be prophecy to say that Mr. Hickman soon became a benedict for all realized that Cupidls attack which seemingly began in Sallust class would eventually be successful. Hick- man spent a couple of years as a teacher and then took a course at a theological seminary. Upon graduation he returned to Valparaiso. Mr. Kinsey, having learned to appreciate his services as a student, did not care to get along without him. So he was engaged as college pastor. Through the generosity of the Valpo Alumni a Brown and Kinsey memorial church was built on the hill. This church is not sectarian, but anyone who worships the Supreme is welcome. Christian ethics and not religious dogmas are taught and the strength of this institu- tion is expended in practical acts of charity. The pastor has been a power for good and the morals and ideals of the student body have been uplifted. No one has been more influenced by Rev. Hickmarfs preaching than has Barker. After finishing the Classic course he returned to the mountains of California and Nevada, taught a few years, and then drifted back to Valpo to study medicine. 40 After obtaining his M. D. degree he accepted the chair of Medi- cal Physiology at V. U. Mr. Barker has been disappointed in not having found one who will share with him his joys and his sorrows. Influenced by the friend of his college days, he has been filled and thrilled with a desire to be of service to human- ity, and so he has gone as a medical missionary to China, where he hopes to prepare many for that place which somewhat re- sembles his own head as being a place where there is no part ing and n0 ttdyeingf, Fuguitt, like myself, is a school teacher. Each year since 1913, he has been in that greatest of all professions, the prO- fession upon the members of which rests the responsibility 0f preparing for future citizenship the youths of our land. At present he is superintendent of a large high school in the Blue Grass region of Kentucky. , Again in thought I was in Room 6. My eyes rested up011 a suitcase. It was small, about ten inches by sixteen inches: and showed that it had rendered much service. I followed it southward. After a short time it reached J efferson CountY: Alabama. I found it, a cherished relic of college days, 011 the library table in the parlor of a large plantation house. In imagination I opened it. It contained a Latin dictionary, an English dictionary, J evonls Logic, an Ethics and a copy of HO! ace. I looked up and saw its owner, my fellow classmate, JOhn Dorough. After a few years of hesitation as to what he Should do, he had become a successful cotton grower. For a paStime he had contributed many articles to NThe Truth Seekerf, and had annotated Horacels Odes, so that now difficult expressions of that author are easily ttelucidated. ll Returning from its southward journey my mind aga . tered the room dear to all Classics. This time it seemed 11 in eIlt 7 . d to follow our secretary Miss DeWitt. Her history from Clme 1930 was short. She Spent the first year in school, 19.13 tto Valparaiso. Then she was offered and accepted the Stlu- an of teacher of Latin in the local high school. 9051161: this work till after the date of my hibernation. Though tmue successful there was an element of sadness in her life vii: h her friends were at a loss to explain. It was a longing ff;- something better than she had knowny When my mind came to trace the history of our minister, Mr. him, I found it much as I expected. He had successfully followed his chosen profession before he became one of us, and the strength and ability he manifested in class indicated that his future would not be barren of success. He remained in the pastorate at Plymouth for some time and then was promoted to a larger and more desirable parish. Raworth, when he graduated had several years of work marked out for himself. He planned to remain at Valpo an- other year and then to take the law course at Yale. These he did and is now an attorney practicing in Idaho. Mr. Neupert returned to Colorado where he engaged in school work. He was quite successful, and especially was in- fluential in securing the introduction of music into all the schools of that state. The seventeen years since 1913 have been busy ones for Epple. During the first two he was in the employ of O. P. K. as assistant teacher of Physiology and Bacteriology. Then he spent four years as a student at John Hopkins University. After the completion of his course he accepted a position as Professor of Physiology at Indiana University. He has done much research work, his specialty being the physiology of di- gestion. He has learned much concerning the relative value She con- ' 41 of foods and thus has materially lowered the cost of living. In recognition of his services he has been appointed to head the pure food department of the government, and today Mr. Eppleis name is as much a household word as was that of Mr. Wiley in our college days. Lucas was not satisfied to write his name thus, C. 0. Lucas, B. 8,, Pg. 13., B. 0., A. B. He longed for another degree, so he spent two more years at Valparaiso in order to obtain the right to affix LL. B. after his name. During these years he employed much time in looking up the career of W. J. Bryant The data thus obtained he used as premises and; With the skill obtained in the logic class, he deduced conclusions, Which, when deliver- ed with his superb oratory before a mass meeting of students and teachers, convinced even the most skeptical that Sec. Bryan was a wise and safe statesman. Even Mr. Carver admitted that he had been mistaken in his estimate of the man and after- wards he eulogized him as strongly as he had before questioned his policies. Lucas located in Chicago and has become the leading criminal lawyer of that metropolis. He has always stood ready to donate his services to the defence of his class- mates and so none of them have occupied the felon,s cell. Willson, after receiving a Masters degree, was given an assistant professorship at Chicago University. From 1920 to 1923 he spent in Europe and came home a Ph. D. Then he was promoted to the head of the Department of Physics. He has contributed largely to scientific literature and is not unknown in the realms of philosophy. Parker selected for himself a business career. He located in New York, becoming connected with a large department store. Abramovitch holds a responsible position in a large chemi- l cal establishment in Chicago. Politics is his pastime. With his experience as class politician, he rapidly learned the wires in Chicago, and at the first opportunity defeated Hinky Dink Keenan for alderman. His political articles are eagerly pub- lished by the iiAppeal t0 Reasonii and iiAbe,, justly thinks that much of the success of the Socialist party is due to his efforts. Heinl like so many of his classmates started life as a teach- er. After a few years he was offered a position in the depart- ment of mathematics at V. U. However he refused this and became president of a college in Iowa. He has been prominent in educational affairs in his native state for several years. He has especial reasons for remembering with pleasure the time spent at Valpo for while here he became acquainted with the lady who later became Mrs. Heinl. Thus accurately and mysteriously the career of each of my fellow students was revealed to me, except that of our class poet, Stone. I learned that he had gone to a good-position in the West, but that he was not at his best. Something seemed to oppress him and at the end of the year my mind could follow him no farther. I concluded that he was dead. By the time that I had thus Visited in my thoughts all the Classics of 1913, I had lain in my snowy bed for two weeks. Then the early spring sun began to melt the snow and the icy water trickling down over my body commenced to revive me. Gradually I gained consciousness and became aware of my sur- roundings. Not long after this, a party of men rode into View. My loss had been reported and a search party had been organ- ized. Their leader was a man with long, dark whiskers and 42 was clad in the characteristic garb 0f the Alaskan. Something about the expression of his face seemed familiar, yet nothing was said about it until we had reached Sitka and until I had fully recovered from my novel experience. Then the Alaskan made himself known unto me as my old friend, C. P. Stone. He told me how that, discouraged, he had decided to sever his relationship with friends and had gone to Alaska. Because of his extraordinary ability he had made good, had acquired much property, had been a leading agitator for Alaskan statehood and had been elected the first governor. In return I told him what I had learned. He seemed much interested at first but finally became occupied with his own thoughts and scarcely heard a word I said. For the next two days I saw little of him and when in my presence he would talk but little. I wondered at the change in him. At the end of that time he came rushing to me joyfully waving a telegram, signed D. D. The best tone sorial artist was called and whiskers disappeared. Stylish clothing was procured and C. P. left for the States by the em steamer. In a few weeks he returned but not alone. JOY beamed from their eyes and Stone had regained his old time friendliness. Later I found the cause of his despondency had been his affection for one to whom he hesitated to express 1t because he thought her attached to a fellow classmate, Mr. Willson. On the 80th of May I attended the inauguration of Gover- nor Stone. During the summer I completed my WOTk 1n Alaska and returned home, satisfied with my experience, but glad to get back to my family, the girls now being grown and students at Valparaiso University.

A profes- sion whose distinction rests not upon the remunera- ,4. tion of its adherents but upon the service that it renders mankind. The cry of the reformer is itleg- islation, legislation? but that cry is of no avail unless the teacher has done his work. The exhortations and precepts that fall from the pulpit are fruitless unless, again, the teacher has done his work. In former days people were accustomed to say that Law, Medicine and Theology were the noble pro- fessions. In our day we can say with equal logic and greater truth that teaching is the noblest profession. I do not make these statements because I am a teacher. I make them because of the improved methods of teaching, the enlarged ideal, and the potent influence that the teacher has exerted in the economical, political and social upheaval now in progress. Teachers who know only the three R,s, Whose discipline was the rod; 10g houses with stick and dirt chimneys and greased paper for window panes have been relegated to the rear. Teachers with nOrmal training have supplanted the old time schoolmaster; houses scientifically heated and lighted have replaced the log school house. Laboratories of Physics, Chemistry, Manual training are handmaids of the twentieth century teacher. 58 Teachers have learned from Herbert Spencer and practical experience that education is oneis ability to adapt himself to his environment. It no longer consists in cramming oneis mind with dry facts. It is the developing of the relational faculty, the power of discrimination, corolation and classiiieation. The mind is not looked upon as a repository but as an active pro- pelling force that the teacher must direct. The great truth that everything is relative and nothing is absolute, is better known to the teaching profession than any other. There was a time in the history of the world when it was thought that men who imparted their knowledge to others did not appreciate its value. Those who were informed and calf able of teaching others belonged to an exclusive class. Them own selfish interests could be further advanced by keeping the multitude in ignorance. The condition has Changed. The edu- cational ideal is different. The multitude is being taught, anfl consequently are rising to a larger and fuller manhood. Indl' Vidual responsibility is being emphasized, the rights of Others ?ecognized, primarily, through the more effective work 0f the school teacher. He is the moulder of public sentiment; the architect of human destinies. Men high in official Circles are placing themselves at th: feet of special teachers. Mayor Rudolph Blankenburg: 0 Philadelphia, several of his cabinet, together with nearly one 0f the city club matriculated in the Wisconsin Uni- ity 0n the 21st of May, 1913, for a three daysi course in rs A l economY- . the most advanced nations, that they may re- tive land and teach the ways of the western fellow men. Cecil Rhodes has placed millions at f. Oxford University in order that the federation e hastened through the distribution of the orld to their the disposal o . 6f the World might b 'EBhodesl scholarships. . ' 2 t Our country has led all others in recognlzing the teach- ing profession. At this critical period in political history, when conditions demand a change in tariff, and an announce- :t ent of state policies, a teacher has been chosen to discharge ese responsibilities, Woodrow Wilson. . H The inaugural 0f Woodrow Wilson ushered in a new era It is an era in which the school teacher is coming It is a non-partisan era. The voter no longer asks - hat is the party affiliations of the candidate seeking political ferences, but what is his record? Is he honest? Is he cap- le? These questions being answered in the affirmative, he ' 5 his ballot as a man exercising a legal right; and not as a ject obeying the mandates of a party ttboss. It is the hool teacher Who has fostered the idea of voting for the man ead of the party; and it still remains for him to be as active '5 politics. Japan has thousands of her sons in the- 59 in matters that pertain to government as well as matters of mind. Teaching is the only profession in which women have sig- nalized themselves. It is true that commerce has its Hettie Green and Theology its Mrs. Eddy, but the rank and file of these professions are made up of men. So it is with all profes- sions eXcept that of teaching. Here we find the women in the majority. Most all the grade work is done by women, and the kindergarten exclusively. This may be one reason Why the profession is on as high a plane as it is. However, I am more inclined to think that it is the nature of the teacher,s work, and his responsibility that has preserved the high standard of the personnel of the teaching body. It is the only profes- sion in Which a woman can enter Without raising a prejudice or exciting criticism. Allow me to reiterate in my conclusion that I am glad I am a teacher. Monuments. of bronze and marble are not built to perpetuate the memories of the teacher, for it is not neces- sary. Who can point to a certain definite place and say there lies the remains of Christ, the greatest teacher of all, as well as the greatest man? The teachers greatest reward is the approbation of those with whom he has labored; his greatest pleasureiis the consciousness of work well done. CLASS HISTORY CYRLES R. GREINER. beloved Dean, is the struggle of a people toward a higher life. The chronicled events of such a strug- E gle are dry and dusty reading although the strug- - gle itself may be fraught. with hardships, adven- tures and pleasures. I cannot hope to make these few lines, recording the struggle of the Educational Class of 1913 for a higher education, any less dry and dusty than all other simi- lar records. The life histories of the members could be given in this connection, but it would be a task which would tire both the reader and myself. Suffice to say that fifteen, twenty or twenty-five years ago there appeared in the various parts of. this and other countries about seventy little six year olds wend- ing their tardy, joyous ways to some school house to have in- stilled into them the primary knowledge which has helped them to become the great and wise young men and women they now are. The struggles of that joyous childhood and youth have passed and we are now getting ready for bigger things, preparing ourselves to meet the toils and the joys that confront us as we still struggle upward through life. We, at last, reached a period in our careers when we could see what an education might bring us if used wisely. So to 60 get an education fitting us for our little parts in the drama of life we assembled at the University of Valparaiso deter- mined to carry away at least one diploma apiece and as much knowledge as can be obtained in the limited amount of time allotted us here. Several have become discouraged or met with mishaps and fallen by the wayside, but the great majority have improved their talents and are among the rejoicing ones at the end of the strife for an education. Several of our classmates have received their diplomas before the end of the year and have gone to their various homes. We are sorry to see them leaving so early. Others have come in during the terms, filling up the vacant places until we can march up to Commencement Day an army nearly seventy strong.

Our time here has been pleasantly and profitably spent. No other time in our lives have we- had such joys and pleasures as have come to us from our short association on College Hill among our classmates and the instructors of this University. We have had great pleasure in being in Mr. Neetis classes and have enjoyed his warm regard for each and every one. May he live long and enjoy good health and prosperity. Our parting is not a sad farewell, but the parting of those who are anxious to enter the fields of endeavor, reaching toward some golden opportunity of the future, hoping that in some glad day we may hear of each other again, prospering and enjoying the fruits of our labors in life, liberty and happiness. Aufwiedersehen. CLASS POEM MILDRED DUNCAN. CHILD stood listlessly beside a stream, The goldenrod and aster; but for her No longer glowed their beauty. Just across The quiet depth of water, fairer fiowers In crimson and in purple splendor grew, Upon the water,s mirror imaging Their forms so graceful and their blooms so new. A longing 0f unuttered child-desire Swept through her being, and With daring bold She sought a place Where she might safely cross To gather all her heartts desire of flowers. In haste and eagerly, her steps she bent Unerring, tmongst the Willowst heedless growth, Until she spied a fisherts path of sand That wound its tortuous way along the bank, And ended by a leaning sycamore That reached its long, white branches peacefully Across a zigzag row of stepping stones. The waters, bright With darting minnows, flash, Went rippling musically a-down the bed, Until they merged into the broadened p001, And idly dropped the withered flowers she held, The crown of Autumnts floral wealth was hers, 62 Where dragon-iiies 0n gauzy, golden wings, All day were fiitting aimlessly about; And high above the locustts serrate-cry Proelaimed the high tide of the summerts day. With childish rapture at a victory gained She crossed the stony bridge, content at last. Today, like to the ardent, yearning child, A class stands by a wider, deeper streame- The waters of untried, untested strength, Of service deep in life,s most mystic waye Unknown, yet sought for eagerly. With ruthless hand the petty deeds and gains Are strewn upon the shore-a withered mass; And joys and sorrows, known to them before, Are left behind to fitful memory. Reflected, as the dreams of youth must be, Upon the water,s surface far away, Are fruits and fiowers beckoning with their gleams 0f scintillating images below. Around about the summerts treasures glow. Forgotten, dimmed are they before the fire That dartles in the eye of him who feign Woul They shine in richness in their gold and blue, These fiowers s0 sought hy all Who see them there, Who dream away their Idle hoiirs 0f yeuth 111 vain attempt to hire them from their nooks. A11 eagerly they chafe to find the path Some fishers, in the early days of man, Had worn along the strand of waters deep Unto a spot Where laboris efforts great, Had built a bridge of firm and lastlng strengthi That others, following, might not spend their time Until the sunset7 bridging 0,6? the way, THE mu. agyus w. s: d clasp and hold the flowers of Wealth and Fame. 63 Thus losing sight of iiowersefor Which they dreamed And longed for, in the early part of daye Which closed and hid themselves in gloom of night. The path is now discovered; see, the way Though perilous and difficult to keep, Leads to the bridge whose toll is but a stone From each way-farer, so to keep it strong, That as the waters, dashing through the years, Shall wear at last the older stones away, A new and better, broader bridge may rise For those Who yet must cross to gain the flowers. AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP Oration by J. J. LAVIN. sq. N THE days of Feudalism civil allegiance meant the service Which a free man owed to his liege lord. In the matter at hand its meaning is wider; it is used to signify the duty Which a citizen owes to the state of Which he is a part. That rests on nature and the sanction of religion. As nature and religion prescribe to children dutiful conduct toward their parents Who brought them into the world, so nature and religion impose on citizens certain obligations toward their country and its rulers. These obligations may be reduced to Patriotism and Obedience. Pa- triotism requires that the citizen should have reasonable esteem and love for his country. He should take an interest in the country7s history, he should know how to value her institu- tions, and he should be prepared to sacrifice himself for her welfare. In his countryls need it is not only a noble thing, but it is a sacred duty to lay down oneis life for the safety of the commonwealth. Love for his country Will lead the citizen to show honor and respect to its rulers. They represent the state and are entrusted to rule it for the common good. The citi- zens first duty is to obey the just laws of the state. Love of country is a Virtue hallowed by the sacrifices of martyrs in its name,eblessed by the Almighty in His love for His children. Patriotism means fidelity to the life and weal 64 0f the nationelove tender and strong; tender as the childls affection for her mother and as strong as the pillars of death. It means loyalty generous and disinterested, shrinking not from helpful sacrifice. It means the Willingness to give 01107S service and find ample reward in the countryls honor and triumph. . Efficient exercise of civic duties demands a knowledge of the origin, nature, and function of society. Man is by nature a social being, he naturally seeks the society of his fellows; and he cannot attain his proper develop- ment except in society. As he is born and bred in the bosom of the family, froin the necessities of his nature, so, in order to defend himself, in order to obtain the full perfection of his bodily, mental, and spiritual faculties, families must join together and form a higher and more powerful society, the State. Nature prescribes that the father should be the head of the family, and to secure to all their rights, to punish wrongdoer, to foster the common good, nature imperiously de- mands that there should be a supreme authority in the statet As no society can hold tOgether unless someone be over 31L directing all to strive earnestly for thegeneral welfare, every v civilized community must have a ruling authority; and thls authority, no less than society itself, has its source in nature sequently God for its author. The state of civil society, .i'and 0911 tate of nature; there never was, nor, manis nature could there be a state in which men led a ife of freedom, without the restraints and the advan- - 1 ischtary such as was dreamed of by Hobbes, wtages of civil society, Locke, and Rousseau. . ' , simeon Stylites lived at the top of a pillar. It Was hls special vocation; he was no ordinary rnan. The political .philosopher considers man as man ordlnarlly and normally is. Men who would make society a conventional arrangement, and g.gauthority the fashion of the hour, have appealed to the noble .savage as the standard of humanlty proper, forgetting that the savage is not solitary but a member of a horde, to separate . from which would be death, and to ignore the control of which :zwould be death also! This simple point, that man cannot live i alone, must be insisted upon; for all errors .in the theory of 1:3,uth0rity are rooted in the assumption that manis living in i isoeiety, and thereby coming to be governed by social author- lity, is purely optional and conventional, a fashion which man :tould very well discard if he would, as he might discard the ljyearing of black clothes. The authority of the state is not derived from a social come jmdt, voluntarily entered into by men, but, like the authority 39f the. father of a family, is derived from nature herself. By his we do not mean the doctrine of the divine right of kings. cording to this latter theory, the king was the divinely con- M:ltuted vicegerent of Christ on earth, he was responsible to iGod alone for his acts; in the name of God he governed his bjects in both spiritual and temporal mattersettLeetatciest i, as Louis XIV put it. But though nature prescribes that .here should be a supreme authority in the state, and that all citizens should conscientiously render due obedience to it, yet it does not determine the subject of supreme civil authority. Whether a. particular state be a monarchy, an oligarchy, or a democracy, or any combination of these forms of government, is a matter that depends on the history and character of the people. If the government fulfills its function its form is of comparatively little importance. The right to rule is not neces- sarily bound up with any special mode of government, it may take this or that form, provided only it be of a nature to insure the general welfare for which social authority is constituted. We believe that the whole human race is too extensive and too diversified in interests to serve the ends of society; hence in its subdivisions into countries or peoples. America which has been brought into this great family of nations in modern times is the highest wave in the evolution of humanity; it is the ' crowning effort of centuries in the upward move of man. We extenuate her magnificence and conceal the singular plan of providence in her birth, if we consider her in any other light. The earnestness with which the founders of our beloved country labored in its establishment is too little appreciated . in this century. There were giants in those days, it ........ Men, high minded men, With powers as far above dull brutes endued In forest, brake, or den, As beasts excel cold rocks, and brambles rude ; Men, who their duties knew, But knew their rights and knowing dared maintain.H They read correctly the signs of the times and to their honest and earnest intentions was given an inspiration to un- derstand the needs of the active, energetic age in which they were destined to be leaders. They forebore with patriotic patience the sneering pity of complacent people who treated them as deluded Victims of a vain and futile fanaticism. Their abiding optimism brightened and grew amid the thorns of merciless threats and harsh insinuations. As a legacy of their sacrificial labors we enjoy civil and political liberty; we enjoy the same rights and immunities, and the only requisite for these privileges is simple manhood. Too often deluded men fancy that universal freedom is synonymous with unchecked license; consequently we must have strong influences to subdue the pas- sions of the thoughtless. Our American idea of liberty is the exemption from all restraint except that of the rule of justice and order. It is the exemption from subordination to other men only as they represent and execute those laws. It is a divine gift by which God recognizes the dignity and greatness of man. Only in liberty is there sweetness of life and power to grow. When liberty is lost light and sunshine depart. The government in these United States takes from the lib- erty 0f the citizen only so much as will be for the betterment of all, and the citizen by his own act concedes this. Some sacrifice of liberty gives more liberty and makes liberty per- manent. The government is the organized will of the people. The people make and unmake officials. The object is to give every citizen the choicest opportunity for his own advance- ment. America, fair land of glorious promise, knows no other criterion, The duty of self government underlies our American citizenship and must needs be solved by each succeeding gener- ation. Herein is held before the citizen the highest ideal of manly integrity and well-balanced character itfor he that ruleth his own spirit is greater than he that taketh a cityW The purity of the ballot is the life thread of the Republic and the safety of our country lies in the watch ful and active use of 66 it. The general apathy of American voters is the besetting sin of this age. Must we resort to a compulsory law for voting? That would not solve the problem. We must educate our peo- ple in the science of government and civic duties. The prev- alence of so great evils in our land to-day is largely due to the multiplication of laws and the leniency in their enforce- ment. We go to the state for those things which we ourselves might correct were we vigilant in public duty. Law gives most valuable aid to morals and to religion. It is of itself a teacher by holding up to public gaze a right rule of conduct, and its sword of justice does much in quickening the moral 0011- science within us, but it will not create Virtue which must have its roots in the innermost soul. The ignorance of the voter is a grave danger, for intelli- gence is essential to the exercise of the ballot. Great danger exists in loose and corrupt morals. Any people destitute 0f good morals cannot govern themselves. Unselfishness and Self sacrifice are the basis for proper use of the ballot.

In like manner must we concede to the family and the home the functions which belong especially to them. The homes of the land are the social units of which the aggregate is the nation. The nation in its wider sphere of action is the reflection of its homes. They are Godls appointed treasuries of pure and sweet love. There happiness bubbles forth from ever living springs. Virtue germinates and blooms in native soil watered by abundant dews from heaven. Motives are formed and passions disciplin- ed in the home. There are evils and incitements to evils which threaten our American homes and it is neither charity nor jus- tice to society to permit them. We hope and trust that our beloved country may not yield to the seductions 0f mammon; that intrigue will not bear rule nor patriotism borrow its zeal from the prospect of office; that our public men may not bear the stigma of private vice and public corruption. We wish to show to the world a nation whose wisdom increases with its prosperity and whose virtues are equal to its power. The American people manifested great patriotism in times of war and there is now need of showing equal spirit, for the evils of to-day are more stealthy in the advance and more elusive in the attack. The Romans conquered the world but fell through the corruption of the people. Hannibal won at Thrasymenus but lost the fruits of his victory in the orange groves of Cam- pania. We believe the Republic shall liveeit shall live the in- carnation of freedom. It shall live the embodiment of the power and majesty of the people. Our hearts rejoice when we contemplate the future of America.

News gathered at the Alumni banquet, Chicago, Dec. 20, 30. : .3 MY return from the field I found a letter await- VJ' ing me that had been left by an accommodating neighbor who had ridden the twenty miles to the post office. This letter informed me that the Vale paraiso University alumni association would hold their banquet in the new hotel Harrison in Chicago, on Decem- ber the 20th, and that I was invited, provided, of course, that I was willing to help bear the expenses. So, like Cineinnatus, I left the plow, shined my shoes with stove polish, carried the cat and coaxed the dog over to my nearest neighbors live miles away. Having left them in his care I rode into Edmonton and started for Chicago. On the way I stopped off at Madison, Wisconsin, to Visit Professor John H. Brown, who is at the head of the Manual Arts Depart- ment at Wisconsin State University. When the boys go down town and get into trouble, Mr. Brown, remembering past eX- periences, is ever ready to use all the power of his persuasive eloquence and charming personality to help them out. I gathered from Mr. Browns talk that he does not believe in the vocational side of Manual Training. As Mr. Brown was going to Chicago, we journeyed up to the old town that is located 68 forty-four miles west of the center of civilization. The first man in Chicago, the Socrates of the modern world, is an Irishman, at least his name sounds like it, Abramovitch, professor of Hebrew and Philosophy at Chicago University. His new theory that the only way to acquire knowledge is by sense-pereeption is revolutionizing psychology. In spite of his original ideas he still quotes Hegel. His able co-worker is the professor of parliamentary law, Dr. Reid, who has just been elected viee-president of the Southern Society of Chicago. In spite of their attainments, both of these men claim that the greatest man in the world lives in Milwaukeeeno not a brew- er, but President of the New Socialist University. Karl Marx propounded the theory of economic determinism; it remained for Jacob Essenberg to prove it to the world. Among the many notables who gathered around the ffiS' tive board were the Rev. Gordon Browning and Father Lawn, Mayer Oakes, head of the boy scouts of America, Andrew Toivenen, State Attorney of Michigan, and one of the powerful figures in socialistie politics in the country; Uliner7 the Chantal? qua lecturer, who is noted all over the land for his forenslc eloquence and beautiful command of English. He is SPOken O as a second W. J. Bryan. The territorial Secretary 0f the: Young Womants Christian Association is there, known to u: ent days as Frances Morrow; Mrs. Lincoln is there, still in Studu beloved of the well beloved pastor of the Christian 6 we . . - giiurch at Whltmg? Indiana. I sat beside Professor Fuguitt and in the course of our 11kg he informed me that Miss Jones was in an English jail remihat Anna Kemp and Jessie Kershaw were still at large 2:; forging mighty thunderbolts that would one day bring he dominant sex to their knees. Just at this time some irrelevant seamp suggested that was their only hope of get- ting any of the dominant seii to their knees. Huss had been east to a convention of Agricultural College pres1dents, and of, back to Chicago in time for the banquet. He complained of having had to travel ten hours on the Nickel Plate; but Rev. Browning says he shouldnit complain. tiTake me for in stancef he says. iiI travel all through life on the Nickel Plate and I am quite happyfi Adams and Gilmore have come all the way from Texas, they are very successful men there. It is said that they have formed a combine of'all the Teachers Agencies in the southwest. George Greenawalt is the distin- guiShed Principal of the High School at Wanatah, Indiana, ably seconded by J. T. Campbell. Mr. J. Alvin Landers has left the land of hook worms and boll weevils and is physical director at Wanatah High School. On account of his effi- cient coaching, their team won the state championship in mar- bles last year. Koch has just accepted the position of head of the German department at the Socialist University at Mil- waukee. Koch was a good fellow and I feel sorry for him. Miss Larson isewell I had to go down to the Northwestern Depot and interview all the Scandinavian railway men to find out. At last I found one iiaxen haired son of Odin who said, aye tank she bane tach Swedish in Minneapolis High School, i69 but her name is not Larson now, its Olson. My brother Ole, he fix thatW Times have changed and with them the names of many of the sweet girl graduates of ninteen and thirteen. Helen Murray, Katherine MacDonald, Lucy Thompson and Al- thea Weimer have all changed their initial titles and surnames and followed the advice of Teddy Roosevelt. Watts and Willis are running a teachers, agency in St. Louis; but Willis is on the road part of the time as evangelistic singer for Billy Sun- day. L. W. Parker has Frank Chanceis old job, while Ray Starling holds the place formerly held by Connie Mack. Thanks to the power of practical psychology, Albert Stone is known as a very successful corporation lawyer for the Ten- nessee Coal and Iron Company, while Strahan is an eloquent senator from the south. Napier is selling the 1930 edition of Webrsteris Dictionary while Newsum is Superintendent of Por- ter County Poor Farm. T. L. Johnston and Harmeyer are sell- ing and setting up wind mills in Dakota; Hoseyn Khan, the Persian Minister from Washington is there wearing his custom- ary smile; Greiner and Graham have come out of the Minne- sota woods and sandpapered their chins for the occasion. Eilert is Principal of the Terre Haute State Normal, while Corrigan is assistant. Ellis is there, being in Chicago on busi- ness for the United Brotherhood of Laundry Agents, of which he is organizer. Hughes and Blankenhiem have Closed their law oflice for the afternoon with as much enthusiasm as if it was the first game of the season. Willer, a sturdy North Dakota farmer tells of how the wind blows on the prairie, and then proceeds to give a practical demonstration. G. H. Thomp- son, superintendent of the Hobart High School with his assist- ants, Frank Hickner and J osephine Hawkins are there. Veda Sehlosser has formed a partnership in whiehthe name of the senior partner is Rhoades. Clara Schurr and Della Barnieott have bought out Mrs. Mineris store and their rivals for business are M. R. Anderson and F. E. Young WhO occupy the 01d store Where Card formerly did business. There are grave indicae tions of a combination in restraint of trade being formed. Lorn Maston has gone into politics and is now inspector of smoke and hot air in Chicago. John Matt and John Wiley run a teachersI agency on College Avenue. Ollie FIeisehman is the worthy successor of Mantie Baldwin. Alice Cornell and Mil- dred Duncan have changed their names and were not present owing to family business. As for Miss Coutchurewwvell her coot is indeed sure but she is no longer Coutchure; While as for Florence Hunt, first she was hunt, then she was hunted and now she is neither one or the other, so we may say that the hunt had a successful termination, ending like the fairy stories in the book. I know you are weary With this prophecy, gentle reader, but I cannot close Without a word about a certain individual Who corresponds to the description of Riley. You recall my preparation for this trip to the Windy city. The great word in psychology is systematization; in science it is investigation; for me it has been disillusionment; and Often When my days, work is over and I repeat the endless experiment With the cooking utensils I feel like singing With the prairie poet: IiOh I Wish that some kind hearted girl would pity on me take. And relieve me from this life of lonesome pain.

Now as we are about to be removed from the bounds of this institution, we should not let our overwhelming knowl- edge go to waste Because we are unable to remember all that we have once known is no excuse for thinking ill of our edu- cation. Psychologists tell us we forget. We do, yet our college work has taught us the power of concentrating, the power of interpreting and the power of distinguishing between the important and unimportant. gThe man who retains half he learns is one in ten thousand. There never was a graduate who expected to make a fail- ure. Some rise to the height of their ambition, while others go down in defeat. With the training we have received here, we are better prepared to appreciate the joys of life. In the medieval times education was confined to a few of the wealthier classes. We are now living 1n a different age, competition is stronger and life much more pleasant without the brutal wars. Less than a century ago the greater part of this nation was inhabited by a barbarous people who prized a man s life in proportion to the wealth they might obtain from him The roar of the train was unknown to the most civilized nations of the world. Now it seems we have about every aceomodation possible I often wonder how people sur- vived in those days with their petty inventions and slow way of travel. If we View the past from our pedestal of advance- ment, we can plainly see the changes of the past, the changes of the present and better predict the changes of the future. In the coming generation the people will condemn us for not being able to see our mistakes, and tell what we might have done to make life easier. The worth and virtue of every age is the best possible criterion of its development. The world is changing, education progressing, and the people are becoming restless to encourage higher development. Those who are iitted will make advancement with their train- ing, while the uncultivated will remain nonentities. When was there a better opportunity for the young efficient mind than now? Yet we hear cries of discouragement. The million- aire, who by shrewd management has made his fortune, should be given credit for his ability. 'We must not try to hide our own failures by ridiculing the success of others. Our minds are young and inexperienced. After dealing with the difheult problems of life, we will be better fitted to draw our conclu- sions. Friends, we are soon to solve the problems for which we have been preparing. Our instructor will be harsh. He will not treat us with the same kindness with which we have been treated here. The penalty will be paid and no one to mourn. iiThe world is soon to be our school, experience our teacher and nothing but life can be our lesson. No doubt most of us have enjoyed the beauties of nature. Can you recall an occasion more pleasant to contemplate than the time when you were pacing up and down a beautiful lane, memorizing an oration or in company with a more welcomei companion? Nothing is more beautiful than natural pher nomena. Many people forget this by becoming wrapped up in their business. It is true every person is placed here for a purpose, but do not make this purpose unpleasant for your neighbor, if you are able to avoid it. Truly, fixed customs will not make a radical change. By degrees evils are being eliminated, and those things WhiCh'r contribute to manis well being are taking their places. Why- should people of today look down on things that were right' eous a century ago? It is the educated man and woman, Who- are looked upon as the people to make our laws, practice our? professions, in fact, to take the lead in all the difficult problemsf. Now as we have part of these to perform, let us be models; worthy to be copied. Then may we say the world has be? come better and wiser and that we have helped pave the W333 toward a higher civilization. Thus I wish to leave with you this thought, that as 11.1911 and women in the struggle for a higher and nobler humanity; a truly efficient life should be our goal. itNew times demand new measures and new men; The world advances, and in time outgrows The laws that in our fathersl day were best; And, doubtless, after us, some purer scheme Will be shaped out by wiser inen than we, Made wiser by the steady growth of truth. b1 l it is natural, fitting, and proper that we should al- low our minds to wander back and live again for a little while in the days that are pastethe days that have passed into history. . . - A complete history of th1s class tracmg out all 1ts con- nections would take us down into the deep, dark and mystic igpast far beyond these days of Which we have any conscious Irecollections; for we are all, each one of 11s, linked back, back Without a break to the very beginnings of life. Such a history is not only an absolute impossibility but for this occasion, even git possible7 would most certainly be undesirable. The history of the Scientific Class 1913 should most properly begin with its relation to ttGrandpaW the father of scientific classes. : Although the crude material for the Scientific Class ,13 ;.ad been in existence for some time, nevertheless, up to March 16, 1912 it was as yet without form and more or less void. But the spirit of thrandpa had long been moving about Hupon :Eheeface 0f the waters,, and when he said, Let there be an frganization known as The Scientific Class of Nineteen Hund- Hed Thirteen, 10 and behold, there was such an organization. 97 HISTORY OF THE SCIENTIFIC CLASS OF I913 SOL EILERT. And ttGrandpall looked at the class and saw that it was good. And he at once proceeded to make manifest his fatherly love towards us by giving us some fatherly advice. After an hour of instruction and admonition concerning our duties while in the HVale of Paradisef he turned the man- agement of the organization over to the class which immedi- ately began to reflect credit upon itself by choosing Edward H. Lochowitz as president, Miss Anna M. Devney as secretary and Miss Bertha J ones as treasurer. Class spirit also immedi- ately sprang into being and made itself manifest at the ball games. It was during this term that the class was called upon to show its phenomenal ability in forensic work. The essays brought out many ennobling, inspiring and prophetic thoughts concerning the value of the study of literature, but which, strange to say, have not as yet been printed, translated into several foreign languages, and scattered broadcast throughout the world. Without any special effort, some of us showed Miss Dahl, B. Fls. Ngreat big beautiful Dahl,,l some new and diverse modes not only of punctuation but also of expression. Judging from the occasional reports of Professor B. F. Will- iams, a few of us still manifest a llmuch to be markedl7 origi- nality in this respect. This should be taken as an indication of great creative ability but our teachers persist in giving it an- other name and on more than one occasion have spoken of it in no uncertain tone. The oratorieal ability of the class was also clearly demonstrated for the first time in its history during the ninth week of this term. No judge or critic, it matters not how great his fame, can ever make some of us believe that they were ineffective. The dry mouth, the knocking of the knees, the upward displacement of the heart accompanied by an acceleration of so many beats per second and kindred aifee- tions which a few of us experienced proved to us beyond a doubt that the effects tsubjeetive effectsl were very strong and powerful. The first social in the history of the class was held as scheduled on the third Saturday of the last term of the Junior year. All who attended reported it a grand success. In the meantime on the evening of June 13, 1913, Edgar P. Reid was unanimously elected president for the term. The class spirit born during the preceding term continued to develop and showed itself a healthy youngster full of fight, enthusiasm and noise. The last few weeks of the term glided swiftly by. Ere we were aware we found the evening twilight of our Junior year deepening around us. It was vacation now. We bade each other good-bye and gladly returned for a little while to our several homes. But it was not for long, vacation, too, had soon passed out through the Western Gates and a new school year was ushered in through the gates of the East bringing with it exalted hopes and heroic resolves. On September seventeenth, Nature did her best to brighten and buoy our highest spirits. Not a cloud was to be seen and the sun shown down in all his splendor upon the HVale of Paradise.H The college bell pealed forth its 98 summons and we were soon seated in chapel arranging our work for the term. It was only after we had done five weeks of good hard digging that itGrandpaT thought it wise to allow the class to hold a meeting. Mr. Reid then with his permission called a meeting to be held in room TOT for the purpose of electing new oflicers and transacting such other business as the class at this time deemed necessary. The meeting was exceptionally well attended. A glance over the roll revealed the fact that of those who had been with us during the J unior year twenty were no longer in the ranks. But this loss was more than com- pensated for by the enlistment of thirty-seven new, though by no means raw recruits. The election was held, and Mr. Stewart was chosen to succeed Mr. Reid as president. Like his predecessor, he proved himself a capable, just, and wise leader. No oppressive taxes were levied; peace reigned S11- preme, and all our energies were devoted to the cultivation Of our mental fields. During the winter term, under the leadership of MT- Touve, our newly elected president, the class held its first and only social of the Senior year. The untiring efforts of a wisely chosen committee, together with the hearty patronage 0tf the class, made the social a grand success in every respect. An unusual interest attaches itself to this social because 0f the fact that here for the first time was introduced to us a certaln masculo feminine character who, upon her debut into the social affairs of the class created the sensation of the season. It had been observed for several days previous to the 000351011 that a certain classmate was making unusual preparations for the event. Only a few knew why. The mystery was explained when on the evening of the social Mr. Mattison entered the hall who was introduced as HMiss French and who .9 been referred to by Mr. Mattison as Hthe beautiful smce ned Miss French. Mr. Mattison was the Victim ' renowble circumstances and in justice to him it must be .9 ep 101:3 was not as slow to discover the true nature of the a thgiiench as were some of the other members of the class. On the evening of March eighteenth, nineteen hundred - pen on the Call of Pres. Touve, a meeting was held for the ose of electing new officers for the spring term. Mr. , or was chosen to succeed Mr. Touve. Also at th1s meeting as decided to hold a banquet on the evening of the eleventh iirday 0f the term and Miss Carver was unanimously chosen 4' ,istress; but Mr. Kinsey was unusually busy this term ' so could not well arrange for the affair. In addition to a previous appointment would have prevented his attend- For these reasons the banquet was called 0E and post- ,Med indefinitely. :' The most obvious development of the class during this a was along the line of politics. Fourth Algebra, Electric- ; Chaucer and all other studies, it seems, were for a time de subordinate to Politics. Caucus after caucus was held; secretive and sinister plots were laid; and reports cir- ed rivaling if not outdoing those of the G. O. P. conven- held in Chicago last summer. Everywhere about the hill 1d be detected the odors 0f wrecked and shattered reputa- There are many instances in history which show the erful influence of the times in producing great men by teloping latent powers which under other conditions might ever lie hid, yet few instances can be found illustrating this int more clearly than the political events of this term. It surprising to see that in so short a time the conditions i a, lady existing in our class had developed politicians whose skill if displayed in a national convention would have drawn forth the admiration, wonder, and contempt of the entire civilized world. But now let us note briefly the outcome of it all which up to the last minute was doubtful. The things which occurred in room iiDT on the evening of March 28, 1913, need no minute description. The purpose of the meeting was the election of officers and Class Day representatives for the summer term. The nominating speeches, with the exception of the one given by Mr. Mattison, were short. Mattison showed his love for the iiMiss French by a speech of which some extracts, it is said, are to be published in another part of the annual. Some reports say that during the delivery of the speech the nShadeH 0f Demosthenes made its appearance and was seen as an at- tentive listener sitting in one of the back seats. The reports do not agree as to the expression on the face of Demosthenes. Some say it was pleasing while others say it was not. But the reports on this whole matter are not very authentic and if it is to be regarded as a fact at alla it should be considered as one Of those historical facts which are not so. The final results of the balloting showed that the following persons had been elect- ed: Chas. Oliphant, president; John Eynck, vice president; Miss Clara Gravez, secretary ; Miss Frances Morrow, treasurer; Gordon Browning, orator; Miss Bertha Jones, poet, and Miss Milerna Schlutius, prophetess. The first social event of the summer term was the big ban- quet held at Altruria 0n the evening of J une twenty-flrst. This proved to be, beyond a doubt, the greatest social event of the year. Miss Carver, who had again been chosen toastmistress, by her wit and humor as she tripped along on her small iambic feet, aided our digestion and kept all the banqueters in an intensely 99 jovial state of mind. The toasts given by various members of the faculty were also thoroughly enjoyable. Prof. Williams and Prof. Timmons by their speeches showed that their know- ledge of burns and Burns was surprisingly profound and edu- eative. The most important events of the class as a whole have now been mentioned. There yet remains the large field of private history, some of which, could it be written, would be interesting indeed. Thus a detailed and minute account of the steps by which some of the friendships formed have reached a stage where they now bid fair to develop into bonds of matri- mony would read like a novel. The historian in writing feels deeply the need of such material, but alas! it cannot be ob- tained. Stewart, Adams, Cummings, Browning, Heinl, Her- shey, Greenawalt and others are very sensitive about these matters; and the moon, Sagers lake and the cemetery tell no tales. If time and space permitted, much could be said of the excellent work and earnest efforts of Walsh to win the base- ball pennant but a part of the annual has been set aside for the athletic history of the classes and a full report of his work will doubtless be found there. The class in order to obtain the number of credits required for the Scientific degree has subjected itself to a rigid disci- pline and as individuals have passed through many trials and discouragements. This, together with the untiring efforts and wholesome teaching of the faculty, although it has developed n0 prodigies of learning, yet it has developed a body of earn- est, intelligent students whose aim in life will be not only to make a living, but by efficient service and noble sacrifice to make life more worth living. At this point the historian is tempted to write a few valedictory paragraphs but he is re- minded that this has no legitimate place in a history and thus is restrained from inflicting you with any further punishment. It is evident that this loose and fragmentary history does not do justice to this worthy class but the future into which we go when compared to the time we have spent here is long and it is hoped that the future activities of the class may be such as to call forth a historian worthy of the name. 100 A NIGHT IN DREAMLAND N A green secluded valley, Is a nook of painted fancy In the bright blue sky 0,er head; Laughing brooks are gently rippling Through the Violets' grassy bed. To this nook one summerls evening, When the stars began to shine, Hastened I in mirthful rapture Searching for the Muse 0f rhyme. Hours I sought through all the crannies, But no answer could I bring, No theme given to my pleading, N0 song offered I could sing. As I vainly sought the Muses, As I thought of useless themes, Mercury did steal upon me, Bore me to the land of dreams. BERTHA J ONES. Near a riverts murmuring stream, Where all poets love to dream; Snowy clouds are slowly drifting 101 NSee the visions here before thee, Grasp them quickly ,ere they go, Take'them to thy fellow classmates On the old earth far below. Then I saw our first class meeting, And' ItPa Kinseyl, in the chair Kindly beamed his eyerupon us, As we met in silence there. Doubtfully we viewed each other, Wondering how the time would pass, Dubious eyes we cast about us On the Scientific Class: Soon a mist fell oler the vision, And another I could see- ,Twas our old debating section, Happy thoughts it brings to me. Essay sections followed after, Then orations close behind, And our critic faintly smiling At the blunders he could find. Now the scene changed to our social, Then our banquet came to View, And I smiledefor ,round the tables Sat my classmates two by two. Here Cassandra gently whispered Prophecies I might relate, But you never would believe them, Though they were the will of fate. Soon an image came before me, And I shuddered as it came; Far from pleasant are its mem7ries, Students tremble at its name. ,Tis that monster grim and hideous, Always ready to devour, And its victims fall before it, Struggling vainly in its power. Can you guess it ?uYes, you know it, Too familiar is its face, And too frequently it haunts us, Follows us from place to place ; Sleepless nights precede its coming, While our brains clear full we cram, Then a Sweet calm follows after, For Itis 0,er--the dread exam. Then there came in slow procession, With a firm and steady tread, Those who bore the torch of knowledge That our footsteps daily led. 102 Friends who helped us when we faltered, Pointing out the upward way, Showing us the road to wisdom Which they traveled day by day. But the last and clearest Vision Rose before my wondTing gaze, ITwas a future sight before me Sending down its shining rays. And it sent a thrill of rapture Through my glad heart beating fast, As I saw the black gowned figures Of my classmates going past. In their bright and glowing faces Many triumphs could I see, And in each there lay a promise Of a noble life to be; They had reached the goal of school life, They had striven hard and long; J oyously they crossed Lifets threshold, Happy hearts-so brave and strong. I awakened-thas past midnight, Darkness still was hovering round, All the world was lost in slumber, Not a breeze stirredenot a sound. Dark and dewy were the elm leaves, Violets whispered in my ear, And they bid me hasten homeward IEre Apollo came too near. Though I left this Shady valley, May we keep them ever near us Where I dreamed these pleasant dreams, As we tread Life7s narrow way; Still it haunts me With its Visions, May their glory shine around us And their Splendor on me beams. T0 the land of endless day. 103 WHY TRUTH LIVES GORDON W. BROWNING. '-t'jRUTH is a spiritual ideal. Its absolute form is in- d 7941 tangible; but to the open mind it is the goal toward t, :3 i: which there is a striving. Poets have dreamed of ngj it; philosophers have yearned for it; scientists have WWW? wondered at it. From the high regions of meta- physics the spirit may behold its dwellingewhere freedom is. Whentan approach is attempted those shores are ever receding. But, ttas the hart panteth after the water brooks, s0 panteth the soul after theefi O truth; because freedom is the condition of happiness. Just so far as we shall know the truth, just that far shall the truth make us free. Free from error; free from superstition; free from fear. There is an objective side to truth as there is to all ideals that challenge the admiration of thought. It is embodied in the works of man. Every rational achievement which we treas- use as a heritage is woven into truthis golden warp. Myths, tra- ditions, classics, mathematics, natural sciences, governments, re- ligionseall these have this element when we find them in the garment which has been woven 0n the 100m of centuries. When that mind has created, time has tested. Every product must be drenched in the corrosive suds. If it is found lacking in that enduring substance, it dies with the conditions that pro- duced it. But should the ordeal be passed through with unfad- 104 ing endurance, it shines on with increasing lustre, and flashes brighter with the lapse of time. But you ask where the truth in myths is found. Manis mind has ever been curious to know. Imagination and reason were ever on the alert to explain the shifting scenery of the Visible world. Day after day through traekless skies the sun travels the prescribed path to his western exit into darkness- Night after night the massive wheel of the silent universe 15 revolved in solemn grandeur overhead. In the midst of infinite complexity the mind stood confused. It constructed a system of Natural Philosophy for the purpose of interpreting Nature. Ere long it would have become Science in an enlightened age; yet through the mutations of human speech it became Myth- ology. It was the truth in its origin, and it lived. . Why death does not come to the Classics is because thelr immortal teXture is truth: truth about the struggles 0f the spirit of man; truth concerning his ideals. The light eternal shed its quickening rays into the fruitful souls of a few hall: seers scattered along the pilgrimage of civilization.

When touched by tm tnfagic Wand of a Shakespeare they spring upon their feet. 1331;; Classics live because the soul jinds in them a self-revela- ' 4-1011. Science is as permanent as the order of the existing uni- teerse. It has its being in the systematization .of cosmic: organic 'innd spiritual growth and conditlons: We live by selence; it iiiives through us. The wondering mlnd wants truth concern- lung reality, coveting it as a miser covets gold. So many castles 50f youth are built on shifting sand, so many things of which . the fancy dreams are uncertain, that the mind treads with con- jadent footsteps on the firm rock of constant relations. Great nights would fain have led humanity to treasures of knowledge ivhile medieval institutions eumbered society; but supersti- lfion clad in the regalia of fictitious grandeur courted the favors :gf ignorance. Truth dwelt sequestered in unbroken compos- 5 e and steadfastness. But H; itTruth crushed to earth will rise again and stand alone without being supported by decrees of coun- i' or propped by the sanction of high officials. So modern lence like a young giant from the dust arose in the strength at his manhood, lifted the burden from the shoulders of toiling 'Hions, and bathed the wounds of suffering humanity. The d? e relations which are known today concernlng our physmal 105 universe were relations when Adam walked in Paradise. Patiently over and over they manifested themselves in the presence of man; and he, like a drowsy child, as many times laid down to sleep in ignorance. Truth did constantly bide the time, rejoicing when snatched from obscurity, yet keeping the tenor of its way. It will not make acquaintance with one who does not confess it. It does not follow blindly the cow- paths of mere opinion, but marks out its own highways by the compass. Science lives in reality. However, the truths of science are not wholly new; they only exist at a higher level. Their germs are found in such practices as Alchemy and Astrology, which were not destroyed but only fulfilled. In human life is an analogy. Childhood passes not away; it passes onward. Manhood is only the blossoming of possibilities that were budding in lifels early springtime. Just so, science is the development of what was latent in manls early dreams. Humanity refused to let it die. The mind had need of it. Every form of religion to which mankind has clung with abiding faith until the present has lived through the soul as well as the practices of man. If religion is as it has been termed, ttThe divine in the human soul, blossoming into love, service and faithfl its creed must be shaped to accord with some positive aspiration of the soul before it can live. It has been so with Brahmanism. It began with the worship of the grand and striking phenomena of nature regarded in the light of personal conscious beings, endowed with a power beyond the control of man. Finally, this led up to the form of faith pictured in the Vedas. The worshipper saw in his own exist- ence a manifestation of the one eternal Soul, toward which he tended as his final goal of supreme bliss. Through purity of life he hoped to approach the absolute purity and perfection of the ideal Spirit. We know nothing in manls conduct more true to the laws of existence than a life of purity. Brahman- ism is because of truth. This is not saying that in it error does not much more abound. The same things can be said of the Mohammedan religion. Similar fibres run their course through its imperfect body, holding the parts together, good and bad. At a time when the world was steeped to its lips in im- purity a simple Teacher walked to and fro on the shores of Galilee. He was not a sign-board, but went in the direction He pointed. Hence the great Christian religion, story of the Cross, the surest hope of eternal truth. And so we find in all these shadowy impressions of sense, showing to the soul its own nature, an element of that inde- finable ideal. Otherwise, they are as HThe grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the ovenf, What- soever may be the form wherein manls works are lastingly embodied, it is the interpretation of life. And this element is identical with the golden chain which preserves to us our spiritual inheritance. The complete life, as the complete truth, is a spiritual ideal. Whether we interpret life in terms of truth, or truth in terms of life, we invariably reach the same conclusion. If truth and life ultimately mean the same, truth lives because it is life. Its substance is ttindeed divine, and cannot cease to he. Then absolute truth means absolute life; and complete eon- sciousness is the eternal state of existence. No wonder that the soul of man treasures every advantage gained toward that final goal. The incentive to all striving is the longing for life. Then why not call truth life itself? 106 When found it is a part of the spirit and can no more die than God, its author and finisher. A temple there is fashioned through the sweat and anguish of souls who rose and toiled above the common mass of human- ity. This crowning edifice, the highest product of human thought, stands unshaken while the storms of centuries beat upon its walls. Many minds with a pilgrimls faith bow be- fore its altars in quest of peace. In this house not made With hands-wPlato is there; with him other grave philosophers speak perpetual logic to the soul; all the true prophets stand; bards also whose songs have made the spirit of man to rejoice. Whence came this giant power of reasoning? How acquired, this gift of prophecy? Who taught the poet to sing? Whether they are natural gifts or divine inspiration, the fact remains that truth is revealed through their words-as through a glass darkly, but adumbrating the glory of hope. Deny to man, if you choose, the luxuries of wealth; deny to the body the rights of burial; yet obstruct not a path, however obscure It may be, that leads to the temple of truth. ttTruth only needs to be for once spoke out, And therels such music in her, such strange rhythm, As makes men,s memories her joyous slaves, And clings around the soul, as the sky clings Round the mute earth, forever beautiful, And, if olerclouded, only to burst forth More all-embraeingly divine and clear: Get but the truth once uttered, and it is like A star new-born, that drops into its place, And which, once circling in its placid round, Not all the tumult 0f the earth can shakefi ttOur birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; The Soul that rises with us, our life,s Star, Hath had elsewhere its setting, And cometh from afar. N A former existence, thousands of years ago, I, .like Aeneas, sought to know what the future had in store. To satisfy my curiosity I made my way to the entrance of the cave Which led to the regions below. After I had slaughtered the seven bulloeks seven sheep Which were the necessary offerings, I per- med the sacrihcial rites. When these were completed, the k ltess in charge led me into the cave. As we reached the old, the priestess exclaimed, tilt is the moment to pray he oracle, the spirits, the spirits, are here. Frightened st out of my senses by the strange noises in the cavern, I ettGrant, 0h spirit, this boon: that I may know in what .onment I shall live my next existencef, To my plea the ess made answer, HEasy is the descent to Avernus; all f and all day long the gates of gloomy Pluto stand un- ; but to retrace your footsteps and win your way back e upper air, that is the labor, that the taskf, But Hif hearts yearning is so great, yOur passion so strong, twice 107 CLASS PROPHECY MILERNA SCHLUTIUS. to stem the Stygian p001, twice to gaze on the night of Tar- taruseif it be your joy to give scope to a madman7s strivinge hear what must first be done. Deep within the shade of a tree lurks a branch, all of gold, dedicated to the service of Juno 0f the Shades, it is shrouded by a Whole labryinth of the forest, closed in by the thickets that darken the glen. None may pierce the subterranean mystery until he brings this branch as a tribute to Prosperine. With this you may look on the groves of Styx and the realms untrodden by the living. Summoning new courage, I journeyed through the ancient woods in quest of the fateful branch. After a long and weary search, I found it and brought it to the priestess. She bade me be strong and go alone, guided by the Class Spirit, into the awful depths. ' We walked through the gloom and came first to the River of Low Grades. The sullen ferryman, Disappointment, steered us across and we entered the field of the Prophecy of Punish- ment for College Pranks. As we passed through this region, the Class Spirit told me the names of the victims and the causes of their punishments. On the bank of the river were Alfred Hansen and George Pierce who were doomed eternally to strike each other ls heads and serve as an amusement for a physiology class. Not far from these stood a solitary girl. Upon my question why Clara Jacobson stood thus alone, the Class Spirit answered, NWhile at collegelshe scorned all boys, even at her class banquet, and now, shel is doomed to be always alone.H Next I came upon EdgarlRied who still was writing political speeches which i i everybody declared iicrookedfi A little apart from all the others stood Vida Schlosser and Clayton Rhoade. But I won- dered what their punishment could be since they looked so perfectly contented. Lawrence Walch was being taunted by a whole group of people who were angry because in spite of the seventy-iive cents which they had paid for base ball, the Scientifics lost the pennant. I saw Olive McEndree suffering cruelly for her treatment of the South Lembke girls when they forgot that the ten oiclock bell had rung. Erwin Touve was doomed to smoke forever because he had violated the Hsmokeless square rule, and had indulged in a cigar in front of the auditorium. Irwin Adams was forced to shovel dirt throughout every existence because he had refused so many positions of honor in his graduating class. Mary Coldren found plenty of butterflies and beetles just within reach of her net but was sentenced never to catch any. Bertha Jones and Edwin Ulmer found it their irrevoc- able destiny to scrap. But thanks to the good spirit of peace- making Ida McKim7 they would make up for a few minutes only to scrap some more. But I had seen enough of suffering and begged my guide to take me to the Vale of Promise where I might know more about the companions with whom I was to meet in that future life and who were not to suffer, but rather, to be repaid for some good which they might do. 108 The Class Spirit willingly complied with my request and quickly led me to the Vale of Promise. Just before we entered he told me that there was a wonderful man whom I would meet in that future life and who could tell me all I wanted to know. He said that his spirit was destined to be embodied in the Vice-president 0f the school which I would attend. He would be. such a man as is not often met with and would fill his position as no other could. I was anxious to meet this remarkable man and asked the Class Spirit to lead me to him immediately. As we approached him, I was disappointed until I got a second look at his kind and smiling face. The Class Spirit explained his mission and asked the Shade of Mr. Kin- sey to tell me of the future of the companions of my next exist- ence. At first he exclaimed, iWKThy do you want to know that? Will women always be curiousiw But the Class Spirit plead so eloquently for me that Mr. Kinsey consented to do as I wished. He led me to a little knoll from. which we could overlook all of the Vale of Promise. He first pointed out a group 0f spirits standing apart from the others and seeming to be pre- occupied with books. He named each one: Dora Brinck, Della Barnicott, Norman Baker, Clyde Cummins, J acob Essen- berg and Carrie Enders. These, he said, would teach the 00.11? ing generations and through their faithful labor, humanlliy would become better and richer. Closely connected with their work was that of Solomon Eilert, Hazel Greenawalt, Glen G11- more and Clara Gravez. These last would teach the world 131.19 habits of sanitation and thus become indispensible WOI'kers in society. h Not far from this group stood others who would, through some special work, make themselves famous. Greta Sml be a great mathematician and illustrate to the world the iouS fourth dimension. Charles Booth and Lester Chap- myster ether would invent a perpetual motion machine. Ezra man tOlimd explain the Hmissing link in the zoological world. Dye; vIEIIeinl and Edward Kolmer would write a treatise on Fre hology- Rudolph Koch and Leonard Weiss would trans- Psycthe greatest works of German literature into English. 1atlelriam Silverman would do the same for Russian literature Epd Sebastian Tangusso and Solomon Bossow for the Italian. an Mr. Kinsey turned from this group to another and named Edward Allen, Gordon Browning, Hugo Harmeyer, and Leon Matteson as some of the worlds greatest orators. He added that he was proud of the fact that they received their first training and made their maiden efforts writing orations for the class of which he was dean. He pointed out Thomas Benton and Ralph Harvey who, he said, would be in the list of the worlds greatest base ball would players. . . Helen Hughes with the aid of a great chemist would con- duct a school for domestic science. As teachers in that school would be Frances Morrow, Clara Sehurr, Virginia Taaffe, Maud Whisenhunt, and La Vada Reed. Apart from all others and seemingly more closely united in interests than the rest, stood a group of literary spirits. Among these Mr. Kinsey designated Alva Potter, Helen Mur- ray, Raymond Marienthal, Fred Snodgrass, and Mary Miller. He said that these would write great books and be remembered throughout all ages. At a distance I saw another group tiwhose study was not much on the Bible. T Martin Anderson, J ames Burner, Bernard Garlington, Mark Hardin, Edward Nelson, and Charles Oliphant 109 were to alleviate the sufferings of humanity and be rewarded for their work by the knowledge that theirs was a profession which strove to render the lives of men happier and healthier. But in Mr. Kinseyis estimation no group of people would do a nobler work than would be done by Ed Cunningham, Les- ter Callison, Olis Anderson, Curtis Eichman, and Ralph Growdy. They would do scientiiic farming and teach the future genera- tions to Hmake four blades of grass grow where one grew before. Alexander J ohnston who stood alone some distance from all the rest would star as NMiss Frenchi, in a noted theatrical company. The spirits of two young girls sat together on the grass. The one was quiet and sweet, the other laughing and saucy. The first was Kathryn Dawson who would grace the home of a happy engineer, the other, Nellie J ones, who would fill 'as lofty a position in the home ofebut Mr. Kinsey refused to go on. iiTalking about engineers? said Mr. Kinsey, Hhere is as fine a bunch of them as you ever saw. See here are George Greenawalt, Ernest Hershey, Mathias Hurth, Berton Howlett, and Tom Johnston. These will survey the swamps, fill them up, and thus rid the world of mosquitoesfi These spirits which seem so busy and hardly stand still long enough to point them out are Maximillian Malezewski, Edward Lochowitz, Noble Newsom, Leon Urbanowski, and Frank Potter. They will all be prominent business men and through their efforts, rapid progress will result. Working hand in hand with them will be Pinhass Papish who will make won- derful discoveries in alchemy and manufacture gold out of the baser metals. J ohn Eynck, Michael Strikol, Frederick Neel, Paul Stoner, Fred McWhirter, and J ohn Porter would become ttCubist artists and with their new architecture would build and rebuild many modern cities. But went there be any lawyers when next we live? I asked. iiOh, yes, answered Mr. Kinsey, iibut you see the law is very important and it is a custom even here to preserve the most useful articles until it is necessary to dispose of them. Do you see, or rather, do you hear that group at your left? They are Raymond Stewart, William Weit, Harry Willis, Ed- win Herds, and William Bagby. They will administer justice to some citizens and teach others to be law-abiding. Here Mr. .Kinsey looked at me wearily. :iIan this enough, even for a woman? I humbly answered ttyes and motioned to the Class Spirit to guide me back to earth. 110 WWWW WWWWWWWWW11 1111, 1151,1111 1111 11111111111111111111111111 111111111 11111111111111WW;;;;W WWWWWWWWW1 W1WW1W WWWWWW .

AN has two creators, his God and himself. His first i l creator gives to him the laws and the universe in which he lives. His second creatorehimselfahas marvelous powers which determine to a large degree what he shall be. He is, in his weakness, a victim of circumstances, but in his strength and power he is a creator and builder of circumstances, and it depends wholly upon him- . self Whether he is to be a victim or a victor. This is a season of hope for us, fellow class mates, a season in which We are to create circmnstances that will make us men and women. It is a time for us to realize that hope is never lost while we try to build for ourselves, conditions that will keep out failure and subdue the weaknesses that destroy the brain and useful thought as weeds destroy the beauty of a garden. Carlyle says, that man is based upon hope and that he practically lives in a world of hope. As we pass between the portals of this institution of learning, we enter upon the high- way embelished with buds of blossoming hope; and as we go out into this world of hope, look and see the numerous weaker animals that struggle to share this earth with you. Watch the spider as he patiently works over and over at his web, 116 a and a host of'other enemies. patient and never discouraged. See the feeble blades of grass struggling against the heat and drouth, the pressure of weeds Like us, they are struggling for an end and hope to attain it. But fellow class mates, things in nature are courageous and full of perseverance. We are the weakest animal; we are the feeblest and least persistant. Full of pride and confidence we consider ourselves rulers of the earth. But we have not yet reached the age in which We think we are leaving. We are in reality in a transitional stage, we are but half way between the animal of the past and the real man who is to be on this earth in the future. ' We are but mental machines, and within that developefiy physical thinking machine lives the soul which is us. And it is constantly at war with the temptations, vices and troubles that we have inherited from the savage ancestry of a million Will's The struggle for existence therefore must be a fight Garrlfad on within our own minds, as Herbert Spencer saysr iiEXlS' tenee is the adjustment of internal felationship and external relationshipfl As we launch out upon life7s sea of struggle5 there will be a continual effort of adjustment and the future will tell whether or not we have lived and acted according to the teaching inculcated and assimilated by our minds, whelher or not we have had the courage to fight the fight of the Just- e of us may fall and some may rise, but let us hope that Slimwill find themselves in a common cause for humanityts a Remember the words of the great German poet, Who d. goica, HHope and courage gone, better thou had never been Zim- w These words above all other things should be indelibly engraved upon our minds, for they are the real foundation of a worthy task master, and as we go our ways, some to the East and some to the West, let us endeavor to keep alive, hope and courage, for they are to man What steam is to the engine, and what electric power is to the dynamo. 117 CLASS HISTORY w. T. ROBERTS. , a AST year it was reported that a child had been born ; t0 Nathaniel Edward Rieed, Dean of the Elocution Department. It was noticed that this produced much embarrassment on his part, probably owing to the fact, as was later found out, that he is a man still blessed with single happiness. ' An investigation was begun It was questioned whether Pa Kinsey was qualified to judge such affairs and thought per- haps Dr. Brown might be laboring under a supressed smile, so B. F. Williams was called in one day while passing, and when he found out what was wanting, adjusted his glasses, gave that tthaf, ha? which only B. F. can give and said he was 110 judge of such matters but thought perhaps Professor Weems might be able to impart light upon the subject. ttDaddy,t Weems was then called into consultation and, after looking it up in his reference library, pronounced it a new variety of CUCURBITACEAE. This plant, last year, was received by Professor Rieed and transplanted into Valparaiso soil and took hold and grew nice- 1y.- But during the hot, dry, dog days and dark of the moon in August, the time when little chickens die with gapes, the plant withered away and to all appearances became dead. But then along in September, when the fall rains set in, it took on 118 a new form of life. Many of the old heads came forth and many new ones appeared. Eleven old ones and one slender.- and very unpromising new one lived to mature at the end of the season. Another one came on during the April showers and was harvested with the August crop. Being a biennial plant, it did well last season, considering it the first year, but it was not until the second year, or the sea- son of nineteen thirteen, that it reached its best and brought- forth its best harvest, becoming the wonder and envy of the ttHill.

She could look the whole bunch in the face for she had HBought and Paid F012,, Miss Tully won distinction as ttErmyntrudeit and as ttQueenl, but more especially as the other half of the ttPair. While she has never received the M. D. degree, still she gave much attention to the Puls of the class. Miss Echols played her part well as Gwendoline, as Dear- est, and as one of the Players, but she did not greatly admire the costume of the latter: The Echols plant sent forth its ten- derils and entwined a Weed 0n the outside. Perhaps she is one of the people who believe that everything is created for some good even though it be a WEED. As to Miss Russell, there is little doubt but that Pinero had in mind that some day, somewhere near LaPorte there would emerge forth a child that would play the character of Dinah to his highest conception. At least the following ap- peared in the paper. ttMiss Russell made a very winning child- wifeW The engineer has long harbored such dreams. itE. Dawson showed painstaking study in the Cockney dialect? and did credit as a soldier, but ttLet me play the lion too, I will roar7 that it will do any man7s heart good to hear me: I will roar, that I will make the duke say, let him roar again, let him roar again. ,, Mr. Smith is ever to be remembered by some of the anti- suifragette speeches he made, as he would rise on his toes and pour forth such oratory that all bachelor girls'present would clench their fists in agony. It was thought he was dreaming of the time when he would be defending a Harry K. Thaw or a Valpo rush student. 0. 0. Lucas is not soon to be forgotten because of his de- bating power and of his dramatic work throughout the year; notably in such phrases as tlDoth rend the region, itOut, out strumpest fortune. ,The worst objection was, at times, he was slow about ringing the bell. . Miss Knicely acted the part of Admiral Ranklinls wife so well that the boys of the class have been shy ever since. She was also strong in her defence of being a coward and did ' not fancy acting the drunken man7s part. Miss Wagoner made a good Jane and in the part of Ophelia she was lauded by all, even by Hamlet. Professor can con- scientiously say that Miss Wagoner is one of his most earnest students for she is ever looking and calling for Moore. Pro- fessorls advice at the beginning of the year has been well lived up to as only two serious cases7 thus far, have been reported. Miss Robinson came in late, but has made a good showing, especially when the exhausted condition of the soil is taken into consideration. , , W. T. Robertsemodesty forbids me saying much about him.

He did at one time manage to play the insignificant part of a churlish priest. Professor said he reminded him of a shrimp or something of the kind and produced his picture one day in class. For a full week Roberts watched chances to steal the picture It is framed and hangs in his room, where it may be seen by all curious callers and inquiring iriends.

THE JEWEL OF THE MIND EVA ECHOLS. fay VERY one knows that in this life one can only go in V is ' ' y I two directions, forward or backward. The indi- vidual that fails to go forward is committing intel- 1 3339i leetual, moral and physical suicide. Imagination is the chief faculty for progress. The edu- cational courses of study in our schools give little attention to the relation of education to imagination. The cry, from our legislators, is to educate children in the practical arts of life, the aesthetic has no place in the school room. Thus boys and girls grow to manhood and womanhood so educated that they utterly fail to grasp the nature of the imagination and its rela- tion to daily life. Professor Charles Eliot Norton says, HIn the curriculum of most of our higher institutions of learning in America and England, no place is given to that instruction which has for its end the cultivation of the imagination and the sentiment, through the refining of the perception and the quick- ening 0f the love of beautyW The harmonious development of the whole man is neces- sary to the adequate performance of the simplest and most practical business of life. Imagination brings man out of a narrow prison into communion with the universe, and it gives him taste and refinement. What man has ever become great without an ideal? With- out an ideal no man can ever rise high, in fact, he can never rise at all. Unless it is developed, there can be little improve- ment of a nation. No individual, no age, no nation, can ever become great except by elevating its ideaIS, and the faculty which gives birth to ideals is imagination. It is the source of all inspiration and interest in life, and is the chief creative faculty. By imagination we appreciate art and literature. In short, it not only creates art, but it appreciates art. It is by this process alone that we learn to sympathize with our fellow- men. Without imagination each of us would be cold and Sel- fish. It gives us the power to understand nature, it is the fac- ulty which enables man to realize eternity. It also empowers man to commune with his kind on a higher plane than that Of commonplace facts. Imagination is the fountainhead Of 311 noble feeling. Croce says, HA work of art is an externalized expression of a Vision withinW Imagination has a Vivifying inhuence 011 all subjeCtS We are cultivating. It is not a wild departure from truth. Truth is its material, its life and soul. There is a tendency among some scientists to suppose that the faculty of imagination, hOYV' ever valuable to the artist, is dangerous rather than helpfu1 1n the pursuit of exact science. The plodding scientific Wlorkiar, who never knew the glory of creative inspiration, he too IS dls- 122 ed to look upon imagination as a useless and dangerous haps for the lesser minds this danger is a real one. 9431112 for the great master of selence, not .so. He needs imagina- f.gion for the successful attack of the magor problems. It 1s not venough for a man to have eogmzance ef a variety of facts and gelations. As a rule such a man while he may be useful, is :mally unproductive of new discoveries or original ideas. . : os $m- Per :2th the feat of scientiiieimagination that traced the descent .bf'higher mammalian speeies from a tiny partlcle of protoplasm. tit can be easily seen, from the etymology of almost any class of 97.01. ds, from the naming of the Sierra Nevada mountains to the mes of fiowers and animals, that they have been derived from L aginative conceptions. The vaster the manis knowledge, the hare important does it become for him to possess that imagi- j tive faculty which. enables him to solve great questions. One 'ter has said, NI should like to have a constructive piercing Vision into the center of everythingW Is imagination necessary in business? The men who en- .

Away in the West they 33w the desert places, a mere vast wilderness of unproductive ylains, and imagined irrigation. In New York City there is a isman whose business it is to think ahead in behalf of the com- munity and prepare for coming events. Every progressive gimme of business has a similar officer. agination has never produced a poem any more magnificent , 123 There is nothing so effective in the development of the imagination as contact with nature; to breathe the wholesome air of the woods and hills, to drink from iiowing streams, to stand alone beneath the silent star-lit heavens until the thought and feeling and mystery of tiall this unintelligible worldi, sink deep into one,s soul and makes it impossible for him to look upon the universe in a shallow 0r irreverent spirit. A love of poetic literature is always associated with a love of the beauti- ful in nature. The study of literature in most of the colleges has been chiefly a study in philology. This was more like the study of words than literature, and while important, it is sim- ply aspects of scientific study, and has little to do with the development of the artistic nature. Everything may be stud- ied both scientifically and artistically. The present day system of studying the facts of literature is a great advance; but the method is still scientific. Literature is not science and can be studied only as art and by means of art. The Greeks are con- sidered the most artistic of people, the most of the work in their schools was the study and recitation of the works of their poets. While they may have exaggerated the simplest and most nat- ural form of art, that of the spoken word, the people of today have gone to the other extreme and are exaggerating the im- portance of writing as an agent of education. Those who ex- pect to move or influence men must have hearts strong and loving, minds open and enlightened, motives benevolent and generous, and purposes high and religious: I 923 WHAT? WHERE?

It became necessary for them to proclaim abroad the sense and nonsense of the different mem- bers of the department. The class held the truth to be self- evident that the professors and all the members were geniuses, that they had been endowed by their Creator with certain unintellectual intellects. Especially well was this shown by the Dean when he advised the class to get away from class- ical literature for a time and read some of Shakespearelseomf edies. The class also held that each member of the class would make his or her Mark in the world, although some thought that it would doubtless be a question mark. It is now 1923. The history of the Eloeution class of 1913 has been rather re- markable 0.0 When we left the Uniyersity, we could not help noticing how Mae Knieely was beginning to comb her hair so that she looked younger, take long strolls to the cemetery and to Sagerls 124 and at last it came to the class that it was all on account of a certain young man whose surname commenced with TB? Yes: Mae was in love! She emphatically declared that she would never teach again, but that she expected to keep up her Music and Eloeution because they could so well be used in the home; music in cementing the home ties and eloeution stories in amus- ing the children. About a year after the school closed we re- ceived an announcement'of the marriage. Today I received an announcement of the birth of the first child. They had named it ttEloquentt, in honor of the Class of 1913. . Octa L. Bassett was a wanderer. She never could remam in one place longer than a year. She used to say that if she could find a man who thought enough of her to present the diamond, that she would settle down and make a bungalow look cozy for him. We told all her friends but it did not have the desired effect and Octa L. is destined to live and die 311 Old maid. However she has made a small fortune teaching E1091? tion and has adopted a child from the Orphants HOme and Wlth the child, her parrot and a cat is striving to make a bungaloW of her own look cozy.

I saw a young man in the f f.g- of life, pleading a case before a jury.

I In a beautifully furnished room in an artistic home in harleston, West Virginia, sits a young woman. She has dark, vy hair and expressive brown eyes. Around her is a group five children, listening attentively t0 the interesting story 'ch she is relating. Are they little Weeds?? No! They are children of a millionaire and Eva is tutoring them. NThey sayii that in about a year she may become their auntie. Our poets, where are they? In a little town of Martins; burg, Indiana, sits our Roberts, doing the work that James Whiteomb Riley has ceased to do, and giving to the world pretty, romantic, rural poems. Samii Smith sits in his office, during the intermission between courts, and pours out his love for nature and the girls in little poems which the world will ere long consider as good as Bobby Burnsis. Edna Wagoner Moore is a great Shakesperian actress. Last week she played Ophelia in Chisago. Had the Elocution Class of 1913 with all of its enthusiasm been there, the applause could not have been greater. She carried the house by storm. After the play, we were able to obtain a few minutes private interview with the great actress. She was enthusiastic with her success, yet not conceited, proud or vain, but the same gentle, lovable little girl of yore. Viva Estelle Russell was so thoroughly in love she used to get up at half past four every morning in order to be ready to wave at her tidear one as he went by on his way to work. She is married now and very eozily situated in a little house in Gary, Indiana. Her husband took music while in Valparaiso V and now, when the baby is cross, Viva has only to say, itLeland, 125 dear, use a little of your college training and get the baby to sleep? and he does it! ttAbsenee makes the heart grow fonder 0f the other per- son? that is one of D. E. Dawsonis remarks, yet when he re- turned home from college and saw her again and dramatically stretched forth his arms and cried, HDo not leave me? she flew birdlike into those dramatically stretched, tense arms. Later they were married and went west to join Puls and Pro- fessor Rieed investablishing the ttDRAMATIC SCHOOL7t in Omaha. ' Edwin Puls has made a success of his work in the west. His faithful wife has always been a companion to him, cheer- ing him in hours of discouragement. After. school closed, Lu- cille went to live With Edwin,s mother to learn systematic cook- ing so that Edwin need never suffer from indigestion. Then after two year 7s course under Edwinis former Expression teach- er, she joined him in Omaha and has earnestly striven since to feed him like mother used to, and to help make his life work a success. Recently as I was passing through central California, I stopped at a College well known throughout the United States, And theree I saw a little, thin, spare man. He suddenly stopped With a sharp command And cried, HHold itliieThen a pause, He growled as if he would fix his claws Right in the person before him. And as the pupil grasped a bit, He looked at her, then calmly did sit, And sweetly say, ttJust put more zip in it. Some will say, HW'ell Whom does she mean?

Some unseen power had wisely chosen them to lay the foundation of that now famous Elocution Class of 1914. What great or chivalrous act Mr. Rieed had committed to warrant this kind Fate in giving into his care such an ambi- tious and promising group of individuals will probably never be known, but the fact remains. Since the hrst organization of the class there have been altogether about forty-five special students. Some of the regu- lars have dropped out and other regulars come in. However several of the Hcharter membersH are still in the work and holding up the traditions of the class. Mr. Wilson was chosen by this group of geniuses for their first Hbig chiefm and With Miss Woodas as a modest helper, he succeeded very effectively in starting them upon their up- ward climb. Sharpnaek, Mr. Prange and Mr. Winter succeeded in chronological order to the height of iibig ehiefii and, With the able help of their colleagues Miss Richardson, Miss O7D0nne11 and Miss Walker, they have been able to promote the rapid and inevitable elevation of the class. During the course of the year this talented assembly has 127 shown a marvelous capacity for uniting pleasure With work ta positive proof of their greatnessj During the year the class has created and taken part in five socials, two sled rides, three theatre parties, and two marshmallow roasts upon the banks of Sageris. At one of Which roasts they showed plainly to a boisterous, misguided mob of irresponsibles, collected With malicious intent, that they could do adequate justice to their own tieatsW Miss Lavery showed remarkable ambition as well as ability in encouraging and helping the boys to protect the rights, honors and traditions of the class. What people have done, is sometimes taken as a standard for measuring their capacity. What has the Elocution Class of 1914 done? Five of our members ,- Miss Lavery, Miss Rich- ardson, Miss Holloway, Miss Bryant and Mr. Winter received parts in the production of ttHamlet. Miss Manville played in tiThe Schoolmistress. it Miss Gutterson, Miss Schlosser, Miss Richardson, Miss Bryant, Miss OiDonnell, Mr. Winter, Mr. Dunn and Mr. Davis had parts in the four short plays produced for the benefit of athletics. Miss Lavery since temporarily leaving the class, is now conducting a very successful music studio in her home town. Miss Manville has done some platform work under the auspices of the W. C. T. U. Miss Holloway has taken part in several very successful programmes. And last but by no means least, standing head and shoulders above all else, Far in advance of other seemingly serious ticasesii Miss Mason has gotten mar- ried. i ' Tl'famlet Erageby by William Shakespeare, presenteb by Bbe Mniversity Tlocution Wepartment unber tbc birection of 3711 .

There is an idea abroad which for a time may have been 141 correct in suggesting that America was commercialized and so much so that she paid little in time or money for the ad- vancement of music. This suggestion has recently been quite definitely refuted by the statistics of a well known editor who includes in his estimate all branches of musical endeavor and manufacture, these bringing an annual total of expenditure for music in America to $583,000,000. More than half this amount is spentfor tuition and pianos which in a sense means music in the home. European expenditure for musical devel- opment compared with those for more material things was in most cases far less than those of the United States. It is then for us to do our part in even the smallest way for the development of an art which we too Often spell with a big A forgetting that in this great young country of ours not everyone we come in contact with knows it should be spelled thusly. Those for whom the most of us cultivate our talents and those to whom we impart some of our lately acquired in- formation are more intelligently appreciative of what we do than were those of a decade ago. Even with this to start us more promptly on the road to Parnassus there is much work to be done in the rural communities and in spreading to every nook and corner of our busy, strenuous and often too much of a t t dollar-hunting , , life.

Surely no one in thegraduating class of 1913, for this is the best class that has ever been graduated from Val- . paraiso University. . Since the beginning of the year, kind fortune 5 has smiled upon Music Hall and instead of a HTemple of Dis- cord, it has come to be a iiCastle of Harmony. In olden times those who lived in castles had certain rules to observe, and if the rules were broken, the offender was placed in the castle dungeon. And so with us; we were given a list of rules to keep and if we broke them we were punished worse than being put in the castle dungeon, for we were sent JIPOD the ttgreen 'carpet where we received our just dues. 'However, a few discovered the underground passage leading 3:0 the back door and thus escaped some 'wearisome practice .yours. It was more difficult to escape the chapel choir, for al- :lthough there was a back door to the Auditorium, the ltDukel, stood on guard with his nbig stickll twhich was usually a much fWorn lead penciD, and struck dead any who might attempt to escape. So we could only smile and talk about the Fourth of July when the thermometer registered zero, and talk of g istmas when it was ninety-siX degrees in the shade, thus imagining we were comfortable. 143 CLASS HISTORY MABELLE D. GARDNER. In the Harmony classes, all went smoothly. enough, for everyone worked hard and succeeded well. But in the History classes, we had to ttcraml, so hard for the nnal tests that we needed an elevator to carry us to Recital Hall, for our heads were so full we could scarcely carry them ourselves. Those in the Composition classes found it quite necessary to call upon the Muses for inspiration, but even with all that Euterpe could do, some fared pretty badly, while there were others who succeeded so well that their compositions were played at recital. We are proud to claim at least one com- poser who will sometime be classed among the great com- posers 0f the twentieth century. Every Thursday evening for three terms found us dili- gently working on ttKing Olafll 0r NRose Maiden.H HKing Olafl, was a big success and everyone enjoyed it, but the crowning event of the year came in May. On May 8, the chorus gave the tiRose MaidenH as the opening number of the May Festival. The festival lasted two days and' the only fault to be found With it was that it was over too soon. The public and private recitals were the cause of not. a little nervousness, but everyone who took part felt just a little stronger after each appearance. The final graduating recitals perhaps were the cause of a few gray hairs, but everyone sue- ceeded in proportion to the amount of work he had done. We are about to leave our Alma Mater and go forth as His chamber in the silent halls of death; graduates.

N REGARD to this fable it is urged that according to the doctrine of chances, it is extremely unlikely that, while I was still lingering at a very delightful place between Kobe and Shimoneseki in the land of the Rising Sun, the very same Ethel Pierce, who came forth from the rigors of Music Hall with the rest of that battle-scarred class, Which was graduated from the Music Department of V. U. in 19187 should be there, too. But the explanation is very simple and elucidative. I was there be- cause I had started out intending to Visit points of interest in the far east and had found this little place very quiet and inviting, so I stopped for a While. But Miss Pierce had come to do some missionary work a little further inland and had stopped to investigate as to her future location, method of procedure, etc. So you see that it was by the merest chance that we met there. I was doing my best, one of those bright Chinese aftere noons to furnish one of my fellow countrymen, whom I had just discovered there, with knowledge concerning the pros- pects of the country we were then Visiting. We were seated on straw mats in the tea-house of the Hundred and One Steps When I spied Ethel ascending a flight of the aforementioned steps. Imagine, if you can, the mutual surprise and joy. n 145 That evening we sought a quiet place where we might renew our old acquaintance. After some explanation concern- ing our respective careers I asked, ltHave you ever heard from any of the members of the class of 13WI HOh yes, she replied, ttnot all, but some of them. HIsnlt it strange, I said, reflecting, ttthat you and I out of all the members of the class should meet over here in this out of the way nook after twenty years? But tell me all you know about the others. Lets seeethere was Ethel Kenyon. Do you know anything about hertw Yes, I read in one of the New York papers not long ago, of her return from Egypt, where she, with a party of archae- ologists, had been doing extensive research work in that eountryfl ' t ttIs that so? Well, do you know where Wilma Eminger isfw HI have not heard from her for a number of years, but the last that I heard she was married and living in Germanye in Berlin I believe. She married a German who was a student in the same conservatory with her. There are three other girls of the class in Germany: the ttSehumann-Heink,t Mabelle Gardner, who has achieved rank almost equal to that of the great Madame Schumann-Heink; Mae Mavity, who has won en- Viable renown by her brilliant piano composition; and Ingle Sayers, who married a wealthy professor. ttWilliam Brunswold first made some money from rag- time compositions and lyric for musical comedy. Later his better productions were recognized and now he is one of the authorities on the music of the present day. ttP. B. Quinn finally gathered courage to try concert work and since his appearance he has risen by leaps and bounds. You will hear of Mr. Quinn when you return to the United States. uI received the surprise of my life some months ago in San Francisco. I was accosted at the station by a lady, whom I thought a perfect stranger, but she introduced herself, and whom do you think it was? None other than Clara Kimble. It seems that she found home life more profitable than teach- ing and she is now living happily with her husband, on a large fruit farm in California. tiFannie Amstutz has done wonders with the organ. She gave a concert at York Minster, England, last year which brought her a warm reception in that country. Her reputation at home is already established. I have never heard from any of the others.H t All this set me to thinking that I wou1d like to find out what the rest were doing. Soon after that I made my de- parture for the United States. I had not been in San Fran- cisco long when I found, upon looking through a musical jour- nal, the name Victoria Gustafson in connection with a musical contest of the far west. A chorus under her direction had won first honors. In the same paper was an advertisement of a correspondence school of music with Esther Rogers, Presi- dent and Minnie Root and Cora J ohns, Assistants. 146 Before long I started east and on the train near St. Paul, Minn, I found Nola Pattee. In answer to my queries she said that she was Supervisor of Music in the schools of Helena, Montana. She also said that Frederika Saller had married a wealthy furniture dealer of that city and that Nettie Tosh was the happy wife of the president of the iiGreat Bear Line between Seattle, Wash, and Manila, Philippine Islands. In Chicago I learned that Pansy Hough, through some of k her musical productions had formed the acquaintance of, and married a man who was the head of a large music publishing house in that city. I From there I went to New York City. I had been there for some time without finding a single one of the class members: but there was a great deal of excitement in musical circles over the departure of the New York Metropolitan Opera Com- pany for Germany. I glanced over the names of the Company and to my utter astonishment I saw on the list, :i01ive 001'- wick, contraltof, I was glad indeed to learn of her success. I went on to Boston thinking that I might find some more of our people there. I searched for some days without results and was on the point of leaving when I happened to pick up a catalogue of the Lasell Seminary, which is located about ten miles out of Boston. I looked through it with idle curios1ty until I saw Rose French,s name. She was at the head 0f the department of Domestic Science in that institution. A little further on I discovered that Hazel Marquart was one Of the Instructors of piano. I then looked at a magazine which contained pi . , popular actresses. I noticed the photographers inscriptlm1 of several of them was ttBeamf, I began investigation an found that ttBeamii was none other than the husband 0f MrS- ctures 0f C w Beam. She is still helping Mr. Beam in their studio in NeW York City. . There remained but one now to be located. By eommum- members of her family Who were still living in Ind., I found that Mae Brown was in Edinburg, ving married a noted professor in that city. eating With Valparaiso, Scotland: ha When I had found all my classmates so successful, I felt dissatisfled With myself, and in a moment of desperation decid- ed to lend my much needed assistance to the betterment of the housing conditions in the large cities of my own country.

We have run the race, we have finished the prescribed course, and now stand ready to begin the real contest for recogni- tion in the industrial fields of our country. During the past year we have struggled hard over the problems and tasks which now seem but childis play. We have often been discouraged and almost ready to lay aside ' plane and glue-pot and fall out of the race. The difficulties 'have been discouraging, but nevertheless they have been the 'means of drawing us nearer to each other and have taught us to admire the pluck and perseverance of our fellow classmates. The graduation with all its pleasure and joy has an under- .Llying tinge of sadness. We shall sever friendships, and part Ifrom helpful companions, possibly never to associate nor meet 'fagain. We also have in mind the real commencement which mow begins to loom up before us. The graduation from school iand introduction into the world is a milestone in our life career. Ehere is some degree of satisfaction in knowing that we have thmpleted our course and in a few days Will walk out with the ltoveted diploma under our arm and a seemingly large amount 'of conceit and independence. 155 PRESIDENTS ADDRESS M. B. LANGELL. During the year ,we have worked for the one goal, which Wevnow see7 but we are not contented. We now see other fields to conquer. Our interests so far have been similar in trying to surmount discouraging obstacles and in bettering our education. But now our ideas shall diverge. Our graduation and resulting separation open up a new line of thought and work for each 'pupil. We are all chips from the same shop but shall in a few short years be scattered broadcast in the various cities and states of our country. Fellow students, when you meet the world face to face, be alert, wide-awake and conscious of the opportunities that are beckoning to you. We are a unit of a great educational system and have a reason to be proud of our chosen work. Time and health are ours. We should work hard, be quick, ambitious and energetic while youth is ours. Faithful indus- trial leaders have brought vocational work to the present standing and have made of it a brilliant success. It is now up to us to enlarge the scope and extend the boundary of practi- cal education and spread it abroad upon the fields of the future. As we go about our work whatever may be our calling, I en- treat you to keep this our CREED in mind. We believe in America and her possibilities, in man and his capabilities. Our country is only beginning the long march upward and in the days before us she will build new cities in cleaner air; will endow new schools with a deeper learning; will take the hot dry plains and make them verdant, take the dark slums and make them beautiful, take stateeraft and cleanse it, take capital and purge it, take labor and give it the bequest of sweetness and dignity. We believe in to-morrow and its possibilities, in to-day and its promise. Every profes- sion that was ever worth entering is alluring still, every held that was ever inviting is inviting still, every opportunity that ever was, still is, and every young man that ever could have amounted to a tinkerts dam can yet dream and aspire to gain the heights. We believe in the sacredness of labor, in the divinity of dreaming, in the audacity of endeavor. We believe in common sense, in the virtues, in tact and honesty, in the gospel of health and out-of-dqors, in living one day at a time, in being kind and in attending each day to the business which is ours. Maybe we shall stumble and not reach the mark aimed at, but we can at least be good, intelligent, hardworking citizens; loyal and true to our family, community, state and nation; and always seek to uplift humanity in its march toward a higher civilization. HE history of the graduating class of nineteen hun- dred thirteen begins like the antiquity of man. We only know that in years past there came into this world hfteen fellow beings who were destined to 7 become promoters and teachers of a subject so eat! in the twentieth century, the subject of Manual Training. These beings, as years went 011, met with the obstacles of plife, as do all of us. They fought against these, as did the Ancients against the beasts of the forest and the flowing glaci- ers and conquering them one by one, entered upon the last era, 'ibefore greeting total success in the profession they were des- tined to follow, on September the seventeenth, Nineteen Hund- Jed Twelve. On this day the class now known as the Manual Training WClass of Nineteen Thirteen entered the University of Valpa- Uraiso, where they were cordially greeted by President H. B. VBrown and Vice-President O. P. Kinsey, who put them on the Tright road to success. ' They followed these paths of school life through their Emany windings and on their way mingled among thousands inf others who like themselves, were striving for knowledge that they, too, might go out upon the plains of the educational world and do what they could for others. Some times when they nmme t0 the cross roads of the courses which the others were gr 157 CLASS HISTORY HARRY E. MILLS. fiollowing they would turn and join hands with a passer-by but would return soon upon the paths of Manual Training. Some took the direct path and entered the shop, beginning the training of the hand and eye immediately under the instruc- tion of Professor T. L. Hyttinen. Others took the steep and rocky way, entering upon the purely mental road and under the kind guidance of Professor George W. Neet received their professional training. Several of the others followed a more central road, mingling both trainings together. Their faces were seen in both classroom and shop, for they considered this the best way to prepare themselves to instruct others. But no matter which read they had started on, each led to the same goal and this August has brought them the laurels 0f the strug- gle and the yictory is at last theirs. ' Each term saw new faces in the different classes. Some were under the instruction of Professor J . H. Cloud, some under Professor A. A. Williams, while others were preparing in gram- mar and rhetoric under the guidance of Miss M. E. Baldwin, professor of literature and rhetoric. While under the instruc- tion of teachers like these, who cared for them, they progressed rapidly. Professor C. S. Hoover gave them their training in the historic world while Mrs. M. A. Hemstoek taught them how to sew and knit, and make objects which would educate the little child and prepare it for the coming days. The class as a whole has had an experience that it will never forget. They have acquired a training they Will never desert, and with the exception of losing one member, who was called home, and whom the rest missed very much, they all had a pleasant and enjoyable course. As an auxiliary to the course the Arts and Crafts Club was formed. Here on Thursday Nights the students assembled to talk over what had gone and what was to come. Topics per- taining to Manual Training and its many relations were dis- cussed and the feeling of friendship and good fellowship established. The class met as a whole at these meetings. They became acquainted with one another and showed much interest in the welfare of each other. By these gatherings they learned to work in unity. This was one of the causes of the total success now prized by them. l During the balmy days of June our instructor in Practical Mechanics, Professor T. L. Hyttinen, left his cares to see the Midnight Sun in Finland. In his place came Professor Hurme, 158 a graduate of former days from the University of Valparaiso. The class greeted Mr. Hurme with a welcome hand and joined with him in the pleasures of the day and so the term y rolled on with success at every step. ' When the day of Graduation came not one had fallen in the paths. Success was here to stay forever. The only sad event was that on the morrow the class would scatter, some to their homes and others to their schools. When they would meet again, no one knew, but probably never. They were go- ing out for a good cause and with this for consolation, they scattered as they had come, in all directions. In conclusion of this brief history the Graduating Class Of Nineteen Hundred Thirteen thanks Professor Black and the other teachers for their kind advice and should they at any time in their future history have an opportunity to come 1:0 Valparaiso they will surely remember what dear friends they once left behind but still have at their grand old Alma Mater, the University of Valparaiso. T WAS toward the close of a summers day of 1913 when I wandered to a shady nook on the heights above Sagers. I gazed back at the Hill, then down at the quiet. lake, and my mind seemed to drift away to a story I had heard years ago. And as I dream- ed I seemed to hear a voice calling: itRip Van Winkle, Rip Van WinkleW I roused myself and behold7 new scenes open- ed before me. Again I heard the voice, iiRip Van Winkle, Rip Van WinkIeW I looked about me, and at my feet my dog Wolf bristled up his back and giving a low growl sulked to my Side. Down the side of the cliff I saw approaching me a strange figure. Still it was not strange for I had seen it before, possibly somewhat altered, but the characteristics were familiar. He was a square built old fellow, long auburn hair growing down over his forehead; his sideburns were of a lighter auburn hue and unkempt, he wore double spectacles, and as he advanced he carried his left shoulder forward, re- minding one of a vessel close-hauled tacking against a gale. He had a companion, taller, and leaner, and beneath a shock of gray-blaek hair, I could see the bright eyes and smiling face of the Dean. As they approached me, he with the nautical bearing waved his hand to his companion, who spread before me a large book. CLASS PROPHECY E. TOUVE. With a lean fore-finger my attention was directed to the head lines of the book which read: RECORDS OF THE CLASS OF 1913 TWENTY YEARS AFTER GRADUATION. I stared at it, and raising my hand to my face, I was frightened to find, instead of a clean shaven chin, a long beard. Had I too, met with the fate of poor Rip Van Winkle? As I gazed into the book I saw pictured before me a huge building and it seemed I could hear the whir of toil and in- dustry. 1n bold type beneath the picture was written: iiArthuri Fisehbacha, Maker of Reversible Band Saws.,, A page was turned and the massive columns of a factory were replaced by Corinthian Standards of beauty, the toilers gave way to a happy throng of pleasure seekers, and the postscript revealed to me the meaning in these words: John H. Brown, Opera Company. I recalled that Brown had his first experi- ence with Opera Houses twenty years ago, a iiMemorial,7 never to be forgotten. As the down of a thistle is wafted by a gentle breeze, so the scenes seemed to glide before me, pause for a moment and were passed by. There was Bickel rushing into a stater building, and a footnote told me: HProfessor of Psychology, late to class as usual? Who was that portly gentleman walking with a lady? Oh yes, Billey Nelson. How Vivid I recalled his love aEair of twenty years ago, I wondered if he still Io'ved Miss Mac. A picture of a farm house was next, upon the spacious veranda a lady, and about her several children.

Upon the following page I saw a large structure and in bold type in theiprophets book was written: NMills for ginding out mathematical grist, three qualities, Algebra, Trig- onometry and Analytical Geometry, sold by the barrel 0r sack. ,i I saw a picture of Biddle standing in the door-way of a county court house, and above the door read: ttOfIice 0f Coune tySuperintendent, Lake County, IndianaW Turning a few pages of this wonderful record I came to the picture of a business street in a small city, and below was written: ttThe building on the right contains the offices of t0.

CRUMPACKER. em : T GIVES me much pleasure to felicitate these young y? men who have just completed their course of study in the Law College of the Valparaiso University. They are equipped in so far as intellectual attain- ments may equip them, to enter into a profession that affords unlimited opportunities for self-development and for the advancement of the highest interests of society. I am sure that I express a sentiment common to all those present when I say I Wish for each of them an honorable and a success- ful career in his chosen profession. The temptation for prac- ,titioners to give law students advice along ethical lines re- Specting qualities and conditions that make for professional success, is very difficult to resist, but these young men have been lectured and instructed so fully upon that subject that I Will resist the temptation and forego the opportunity to address them upon the professional behaviour of the attorney. It is enough to say that the lawyer wields a large influence for good or evil, depending upon his character and capacity, upon the community in Which he lives and labors. Politics is looked upon as a side-line of the lawyer, largely because his professional training and experience better fit him for the requirements of the public service than do those of any other profession. To be a good lawyer one must have a know- 169 ledge 0f the science of government and the rights and duties of individual citizens in their relation to government and to society and to each other. He must be familiar With the funda- mental principles that underlie free institutions and With their origin and historical development. Of course, he mustknow the law and know how its practical administration affects society. He has the opportunity of discovering the weaknesses, injustices and inequalities in the existing system of jurispru- dence and the methods of administration and he should be able to suggest changes and reforms that Will bring substantial social betterment. It is the primary duty of the lawyer as such, to assist in the administration of the law as it is, rather than as he would have it be, consequently, he is apt to acquire the tendency of attaching such importance to established precedents and set- tled principles as amount, in instances, to a sacred reverence, approaching stubborn conservatism. The legal profession is concerned in the enforcement of the law as it is and it is, per- haps, the greatest equilibrant in collective life, but it represents the static force in public affairs. It is the aim of the science of government to reform laws and institutions. to meet the highest needs of an advancing civilization, and that science stands for the dynamic force in social life. Its purpose is to correct abuses and to direct the great forces that underlie civilization along channels that lead to higher and better condin tions. 1 must not be understood as saying that lawyers cannot be statesmen, for I am now only discussing professional ten- dencies. Lawyers as a class have a better equipment for state- eraft than have the members of any other profession, but the time Will probably come When polities Will develop into a pro- fession in this country as it is in England today. An intelli- gent conservatism is indispensable to the stability and bene- iieence of popular government. The Apostle Paulis advice to the brethren at Thessaloniea was, ttProve all things; hold fast that Which is good.H That would be a very wise motto of government supplemented With the clause, ttAnd eliminate that which is eVile The patriot fathers Who founded this government regarded it essential to liberty, justice and stability that the govern- mental powers be distributed among three separate, indepen- dent departments; one to make the laws, one to interpret and apply them, and the other to execute them. The federal eon- stitution thus distributes the sovereign powers that are vested in the general government and, in theory at least, the depart- 1: ents are absolutely independent of each other in the execution of thosepowers. The system has been in operation for a eenn tury and a quarter and it has worked With such success that 0. e Wisdom and statesmanship of its founders have been fully vindieatml. The judicial department is the keystone to the arch of the superstructure. It ascertains the rights, privileges and immunities of the citizen in his relations to government and to society and outlines the powers and limitations imposed upon the government itself, by the great charter of its existence. 170 It goes Without saying in this age, that there could be no peace or stability in social conditions unless there were courts to settle controversies that may arise among individuals. Un- friendly criticism is heard of the policy of allowing the courts to determine the sovereign powers of the legislative and exe- cutive departments of the government, on the ground that it makes the courts supreme and destroys the independence of the other departments. In recent years courts have been con- demned and denounced as usurpers of authority for overturn- ing acts of legislative bodies When in conflict With the constitu- tion. Those criticisms are based upon a superficial under- standing of the character of republican institutions. Sovereignty in its political sense, means the power to govern, and in a republic that power primarily resides in the people. They organized and ordained this government with its distribution of sovereign authority, conferring upon the general government certain specihe powers, and expressly Witholding from it the exercise of all other powers of sover- eignity. The people conferred upon that government all the political, judicial and administrative authority they desired to have it invested With and reserved all the balance of power to the states and to themselves. The federal constitution dIB' elares itself and all acts of congress made in pursuance of 1t: and treaties negotiated With foreign countries under it, 130 be the supreme law of the land, constitutions and laws of the several states to the contrary notwithstanding. It being the duty of the courts in specific cases to asc and apply the law as it is, Where conflicts arise between ertain legiS' lative acts and the constitution, the courts must of necessltli set aside and hold invalid every legislative provision that 00.11 The crib fiicts With the letter and spirit of the constitution. ics of the courts upon this question have very imperfect ideas of the spirit and genius of constitutional government. All political constitutions contain adequate provisions for their own amendment. Full sovereign power abiding with the People, they may amend the organic law and enlarge the pow- ers of any of the departments or limit and restrict them, at will, Until changes are made, the legislative branch of the government must continue to make laws under the constitu- tion, and the judiciary must continue to interpret and admini- 51:91 the laws so made and overthrow those that are in eonfiiet with the supreme law of the land. If courts had no authority to hold acts of congress which oonfiict with constitutional pro- visions, invalid, the constitution would be of no consequence in safeguarding the rights and privileges of the people, it would be deprived of all its Virtues, it would cease to be a constitution in everything but name. I have great reverence for the federal constitution. It abounds in everlasting principles that are capable of expansion and growth, that may be applied to all stages of social and political life. The liberty of the citizen is secure only when there are fixed limitations upon the power of government itself; when the citizen may stand in the sun- light and breathe the air of freedom in the consciousness that he possesses a certain latitude of individual liberty that is absolutely inviolable, that the great government with all its wealth and power is unable to deprive him of. If the power to determine whether legislative acts are in violation of the organic law of the land should be taken from the courts the result would be a condition of political and social chaos. There would be nothing to maintain the political equili- brium among the states, or between the general government and the state governments. We do not appreciate the vital 171 importance of the courts of last resort in our system of govern- ment in maintaining the permanency and the stability of free institutions. Another criticism of the judiciary that is made is its ten- dency to follow what has been termed ttjudicial legalisms.H The courts are denounced for following established procedure and for acting upon uniform canons for the construction of acts of legislative bodies, and in their application to the practi- cal affairs of life. The courts have no power to make or amend laws. It is their sole function to ascertain and administer them as they are, and that there may be a uniform administra- tion of law it is necessary to have uniform judicial procedure. The truth is that settled rules for the interpretation of acts of legislatures have contributed greatly toward uniformity in administration in various parts of the country and has done much to promote stability and security of the fundamental rights of the citizen. Recognized rules of construction are in keeping with the spirit of the times and without them each individual court would interpret and apply the law according to the peculiar ideas of the presiding judge, and the result would be essential differences in jurisprudence in the various sections of the country. Each succeeding judge would be actuated by his own peculiar ideas and the work of his prede- cessor might be departed from at the expense of stability. If the law is unsatisfactory, if it operates unjustly in any respect, the remedy is with the legislatures and not with the courts. The courts are often censured for the delinquencies of legislatures. Legislative bodies are sometimes composed of politicians, who. keep their eyes upon the political weather- Vane rather than the welfare of society. They are apt to advo- cate measures that seem popular simply because they do seem popular, though they may conflict with constitutional provis- ions and would be held invalid if enacted into law. There are instanees where legislators have assisted in enacting so- called ttpopularT bills into the form of law which they knew were in Violation of the constitution they had sworn to support and maintain, and have left the courts to bear the opprobrium that follows the ultimate overthrow of such acts. The courts suffer greatly in their standing for the pusillanimity of legis- lators and the demagoguery of plaoe-seeking politicians, and the ethics of the bench are such that judges of courts are not permitted to go before the public in defense of their action. I speak of courts as institutions. Judges are men and, therefore, they are not infallible. Occasionally a weak man is selected for the dignified and important duties of the bench, and once in a great while a corrupt man may be chosen, but these instances are rare. The American judiciary as a rule is composed of men of high character and standing, and it re- fleets signal honor upon our government. I am within the bounds of truth when I say there is more conscience and patrio- tism and less selfishness and dishonesty in the judiciary than can be fouhd in any other branch of the public service. Supreme Court of the United States enjoys the world-wide reputation of being one of the ablest, most dignified and credit- able tribunals known to the worlds history. Its personal has uniformly been highly commendable. The justices of that great court have been and are ripe scholars, high class law- yers, experienced jurists, statesmen and philosophers. The most distinguished, perhaps, of all the chief justices in the history of that tribunal was John Marshal. He had a broader and clearer perception of popular constitutional gov- ernment than any other man in the history of the country. The . 172 Histmarvelous genius for empire building marked the sky- lines of this republic with such precision, symmetry and pro- portion as to challenge the admiration of statesmen and philos- ophers throughout the civilized world. Lawyers are an essential equipment of courts. It is their highest professional duty to assist in the honest and efficient administration of the law. They have a better knowledge of the powers, duties and responsibilities of the courts and their relations to the legislative and executive departments of the government, than is possessed by any other class of citizens and they owe to society the duty of defending the courts against unjust and unfair criticism. Let me impress this obligation upon the minds of the young men here today who are prepared to enter the honorable profession of the law. Let the resp01.1- sibility for imperfect laws rest with the legislators where It belongs and do not permit it to be unjustly charged agalnSt the courts. Unfair criticism tends to destroy public eonfidenge, not only in the courts, but in all public officials and in Pllbhc institutions. The strength and permanence of republican gqvt ernment depend largely upon the faith of the citizens in. Its justice and efficiency. No greater wrong can be done to somety than to saturate the popular mind with false accusations and unfounded prejudices against public oflieials. Just criticism, even against the courts, is a wholeso . eipline, for they are not perfect. Like all other human instltu- tions they make mistakes sometimes. , Unnecessary delays in the administration of jUStice ls : proper and reasonable ground of complaint, but that $110111 not be charged altogether against the courts.

Laws should be enforced as ex- t1:htiously as is consistent With the highest interests of society. , Ph ublic has an interest in every suit brought in the courts :0: fnly from the standpoint of economy but from considera- tions of social repose as well. . I do not intend to offer any adyme to you, young lawyers, about going into politics for a career. Each one must settle 'that question for himself When the situation confronts him. But I do admonish you to become factors in the improvement of social and political conditions Wherever you may be. But if any of you should be called into the public service $1011 should go With a firm resolve to stand true to the great maxims of liberty, justice and equality that are the foundation stone of our political structure, and to reflect in the fullest measure the best traditions of the republic. You should per- sistently labor to make this government, in an ever increasing degree, the exponent of all that is highest, noblest and most helpful in social and political life. Your motto should be ' Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.,, Our starry emblem is now the worlds best and brightest hope, and God grant that that hope shall never be dis- pelled by any unrighteous act or dishonorable deed or by any 1 craven policy of retrogression. Constitutional government is necessary to the progress of civilization. Our system is admirably adapted to the needs of fthe country with its vast area, its diversified climate and re- ;sources and its large cosmopolitan population. One of Eng- iland,s greatest statesmen referred to the constitution of the United States as gthe most important work that was ever . erIlm eIl . the qualities of stability and endurance. 173 struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of manY, The course of human history is strewn With the ruins of monarehies that crumbled and fell because they gave no lib- erties to the people, They are alternated With the wrecks of democracies that perished from the earth because they lacked The patriot fathers Who framed our Government profited by the lessons of history and combined in its groundwork ample safeguards for the liberties of the citizen, with abundant securities for the strength and permanence of its institutions. This Government is no longer an experiment. It is the best-balaneed Govern- ment civilized man has ever known. It embodies the principle of growth and expansion and adapts itself to the needs and wants of a progressive people. It is fundamentally repre- sentative in character. Its laws are made by a body of respon- sible citizens selected by the voters because of their capacity and qualifications for that important work. That feature can not be overthrown Without destroying the equilibrium of politi- cal forces underlying the system and causing destruction of the entire fabric. Our besetting danger is not from Without, but from Within. The corrupting influences of human greed, insidious arts of the conscienceless demagogue, and the imprac- ticable dreams of the doetrinaire must be guarded against by a vigilant and discriminating public opinion or our institutions Will be in jeopardy. Republican government was established at too great a sacrifice of blood and treasure to be exposed to the whims and vagaries of political quackery or to the destruc- tive power of seliish interests. Let the imperishable principles of the Declaration of Independence shine through our consti- tutions and laws and illuminate the pathway of progress, and the destiny of the Republic Will be secure. SOCIETYS DEMANDS OF A LAWYER FRED P. WARBER. E, AS the class of 1913, have now been welcomed into the alumni of the Valparaiso college of law and we enter that body in a truly humble spirit. We appreciate the responsibility which we have assumed thereby. We realize that our precursors in that body have given it a highly respected place and that we are expected to help merit that respect. We have in that body of alumni noted jurists and statesmen whose success is attributable to their own initiative primarily and partly to the training which they have secured at an institution which makes toward eosmopolitanism and broadmindedness. We very keenly appreciate our initiation. into that body and hope that we may help to retain for it the respect that they have so far commanded. We realize that now after two or more years which were spent with associate students who have similar thoughts and similar aims, we are to be thrown into a broader, harder, and more exacting field of men and women in a conscious struggle for an individual livelihood. and into a world of associative industry. After two years existence in an atmosphere that was purely legal, delving into the umbrageous past to extract the thoughts, reasoning and principles of the jurists long gone, we are now to be placed into the real and living present. After 174 passing through the courses under the guiding hands of men among the most able instructors of the country, we are placed to test our own resources against the rest of the world. We feel however that well-planned course as laid down by 0111' dear Dean Bowman, and as presented by him, Prof. John B0- man, Judges Gillette, Burns, Daly and Dowdell, has given us a foundation in the study and understanding of the law that will sufficiently serve to make us useful social members if our own efforts be correctly directed. . But now what is our duty, and what is expected of HS 35 lawyers? Certainly we have a different mission than that t0 be a mere representative for the client whom we may SeI'V? and to work for our own individual gain. We have a far h1ghel' duty and purpose to perform than that. We are a necessary portion of the social organism and as such have a social duty- We are the direct representatives of the people in formlng the institutions under which they live. We as lawyers7 are to learn to answer aright Cainis far-oif answer to the 911617; HAm I my brotherts keeperiW The lawyer is peCUharll-V Ihle brotherls keeper. His relation towards the p601?16 and,t 11 legal institutions places him in that position. The Amenca lawyer is among the people and from among the P90 ple. And 01119 it would only to be deprecated if the lawyer ShOUId bec further removed from the people. That he remains in close touCh with the public is a good indication that the people will be represented, and it is sad that there should be the growth of the law corporations in the cities where the representing counsel perhaps never comes in contact with his client and where the lawyer is kept too far removed from the people them- selves. . . The lawyer stands in such a relation to the people that he can best understand their wants, and through his relations to the legal institutions he can best secure their needs. The law- yer as an advisor 0f the courts is the only person who can make the social needs of the people have an iniiuence upon the spirit and reasoning of the law. If a change is to be made and if a transformation is on foot, then it is through the courts that this is to be secured. It was through the courts and not by legislation that equity made its appearance into our legal system and secured a transformation during the 16th and 17th centuries. And again it was through the courts that the law merchant made its appearance into the common law and adapt ed the law to the growing needs of the commercial world. Now then, if there are to be changes it falls upon the lawyer to secure these through his advisory influence upon the courts. But is there a present need for any such alterations or change, or is such a change going on? There is. It is but com- paratively recent that our law journals and periodicals were occupied mostly with eulogies upon our legal and historical discussions of legal principles. Now the attitude is one more of criticism and of consideration. This is caused by the grow- ing feeling of the inadequacy of the law to comprehend the progress in the social and economic world. To make the law conform to the social needs is a problem the world over. As 175 we are becoming more and more interdependent and more of a social unit, it becomes necessary that the legal system should change from that of a strictly individualistic system to more of a social system. The law must follow in the wake of the social and economic changes. Law is not the foundation of civilization and of progress, as has been said, yet it has the power of making social and economic progress to conform to it more or less. It is a de- velopment accompanying social evolution in general, partly as cause and partly as consequence. It is molded to conform to the social and economic needs, but when it is once so molded it is also a mold and retainer according to which the further progress of these social and economic institutions will naturally conform. And the time is now here when the social and eco- nomic needs of the people should have a molding force upon the law. The common law never was equal to all the exigencies. The law merchant, the legal counterpart of the commercial age, had nothing to do with the common law except to insist upon recognition. Equity had to make its appearance upon the field separately, and it is but very recently that there has been even a semblance of harmony between law and equity. So today the unsocial attitude of the courts, caused by the traditional element in the law, is preventing a steady progress in the law in conformity with the needs of society. The de- mand for a more social attitude is here but it has not yet suffi- ciently impressed itself upon the courts. It has so far been left to the legislatures and that fact shows that the spirit Which demands this has not yet taken a sufficient hold upon the laW- yer and through the lawyer upon the courts. The law is not changing with the change of reasons that gave rise to the 01d principles. Legislatures have long ago seen fit to pass exemption laws, surely not from the standpoint of individual rights, but be- cause society would best profit by having a lesser number thrown on theirthands for care. Some legislatures have also seen fit to pass ernployeris liability laws7 basing the reason on, whom they deemed could best bear the loss. There laws were passed in the attitude that laws are primarily for the benefit of society, and that private rights are protected in so far only as such protection is best for society. Now these statutory changes were made only when the demands had be- come so great that the legislatures were compelled to take action at the demands of the people, yet we can find little trace in the attitude of the courts that they too were cognizant of the will and demands of the people. The courts had not contemplated a change in the spirit or reasoning of the law. And this the courts had not done because the lawyers had not sufficiently impressed upon them the need thereof but were satisfied with the principles as they found them without a thought of social needs. Had these same changes been made by the courts through the change of reasoning with the change of condition, they would have come more slowly and upon more deliberation. Such change through judicial process would not be revolu- tionary as statutory innovations must necessarily be. It would prevent this immediate contradiction of the common law which statutory change brings about. Instead, these changes would be gradually effected with the needs of the times, and thus prevent shocks or disruptions in the legal system since it would accord with the evolution of social and economic institutions. Neither would this cause the laws to get in advance of the 176 needs of the people which legislation, influenced by radicals, sometimes does. It would be sufficiently deliberate to be a restraining force upon hasty changes and yet would permit of. more consistent development. We are discarding the old idea which was expressed by Blackstone when he said, ttBesides, the public is in nothing so essentially interested as in securing to every individual his private rights.,, We are instead adopting the theory that those laws are best which benefit the greatest number of people. But this change has been left to the legislatures rather than to the courts where it properly belongs. At present the courts and legislatures are often opposed in their attitude so that the efforts of either are sometimes foiled. The shortcoming in our law is in the attitude of the courts and the remedy is to be found there also. If there is a sufficient need for a Change to be acted upon by legislatures there is no reason why it should not be recognized by the courts also. The best protection-tO Society against governmental revolution is an interpretation of the law so as to accord to the social needs. As ancillary to this I may ask what makes Justice Mar- shall so beloved to our memory? He is not famous fOT 11.15 knowledge of precedents since one can find very few cited In his opinions. It was rather his understanding of those deeper currents of national life which enabled him to see bOth.the trend of thought and the unconscious purpose of the Amemcan people, and his interpretation of that purpose for them. In this was his greatness. And now in this consists the duty of the lawyer. In 511011 a mission consists his debt toward society. He must begun: more conversant with social conditions and must more dlrec ' efforts to the betterment thereof. By keeping in close touch hl-Sth the people, their needs will influence his attitude toward :hle law and this he must make felt by the courts. This in- guence then, will necessarily make itself seen in the principles of the law. Persistent consideration of social problems by the courts can not help but to leave its mark upon the reasoning of the law, and consequently upon its form. Thus it is to be through the lawyerts efforts and not through edicts and laws of princes and legislatures that we are to secure such a legal system as will be sufficiently responsive to popular need, and at the same time sufficiently tenacious to prevent anarchical chaos. Then if such be our mission let us so conduct it that we may become a real constructive and creative force in our instie tutions. By such a course alone can we command and merit the respect Which the law as a profession should have, as the greatest single factor toward the proper development of society. Address before the Alumni of the Valparaiso College Of Law, June 17, 13. 2' 1 l 7 THE MAKING OF A NATION WISE ALDERMAN. E USED to live for others. Now we live for our- selves as well. We used to do other peoplees bid- ding. Those for whom we used to live were a select few. That was in the olden time. We were told to be patient, to be submissive, to give the last mite when called upon. For these acts of charity we were told that we would be rewarded with much joy and bliss in the world to come. That doctrine was fatally defective in two particulars; first, the promisors could by no possibility make their promise good; second, to teach that we should make our- selves miserable to-day that we may be happy to-morrow is to endeavor to inculcate into the human mind a most absurd philosophy of life. This doctrine was never very popular with the man who had to earn his own living. The more he devel- oped intellectually, the more he became civilized, clearer be- came the fallacy. The story of how man slowly emerged from intellectual and political thralldom is the history of his civilizationehis social evolution. From the primal state of society to nations and empires the progress of man,s intellectual development determined his progress politically and economically and these changes, as a resultant of his intellectual development, culmi- nating in our government and binding together the hopes and l 178 aspirations of a hundred millions of people, constitute the evo- lution of the nation. American political philosophy of the first three quarters of the eighteenth century was borrowed from Europe. 011? ideas were iniiuenoed and moulded by, and our institutions modeled after the practice of centuries of English civilization. In the last quarter of the eighteenth century America brought forth a new and distinct political philosbphy of her own des- tined to revolutionize the succeeding political thought of the world. The principle of this new philosophy was Federalism, exemplifying the spirit of the Declaration of Independence and upon which was created and establiShed for the first time a federated republic. During all the thousands of years that had gone by no real republic had ever existed. For all the ages caste and class had ruled the world, but before the new thought the foundations of society of the past were leveled and upon their ruins was established the society of humanity. The bUt' tressed walls of injustice and oppression were swept away, class distinction disappeared and individualism became the Vli briant voice of the new Republic. e There had always been a struggle for equal justice betwee11 man and man. Political and intellectual liberty had been talked about and preached about by the brave and fearless fw Since history records men persisted in dreaming of a beett'el' day when the righteous protest of the multitude would be heard instead of the cruel commands of heartless kings and soulless priests. It remained for America to answer the prayer of the centuries by writing into the constitution the liberties of men. . . . . The making of thlS constitutlon was Without a parallel. ever before had representatives of a people met to create a N . . nation and to formulate rules to govern it after it had been created. This was a last resort. Everything short of union ad failed and failed miserably. Business, commerce and political liberty itself were fast being swallowed up in a mael- strom of governmental failure in the several colonies. A7 stronger system of government was absolutely necessary and from necessity came the cry for a ttmore perfect unionll and out of necessity it was tlordained and establishedfl But the newly created system was not received with unani- mous approbation. Its enemies numbered most of the old world and not an ineonsiderable portion of the new. It was scoffed and mocked at by the beneficiaries of the old system as subver- sive and destructive of all principles of government, nay more, a perversion of the laws of nature itself, as if gravitation had something to do with making one man a king and another a pauper. And in a way it was. It was subversive and destruc- tive of the principle that man was born into the world owing homage, fealty and worship to a man of chance, claiming divine sanction. It was subversive and destructive of the principle that in somehow and in some way you should be quasi-property of another. It was subversive and destructive of the principle that kings and priests have an irredeemable mortgage upon your body and soul. On the banks of the murmuring mountain 179 streams and sylvan lands of the western continent the follies, misgovernment and slavery of hand and brain were denied fur- ther stay and in their stead established in practice as well as theory the sublimest of declarationsettall just power is derived from the consent of the governed. Thus was brought a great change of power. For the first time in history the people were put into possession of themselves. This great change in the repository of power was the re- sult of the work of a few men, one of the leaders of which was Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton was convinced, as indeed most people must have been, that without a strong central govern- ment most all that had been gained by seven years of revolu- tion would inevitably be lost. With all his great force and power he lent himself to the making and adoption of a consti- tution, binding together all the people of all the colonies. He asked for a strong central government, stronger perhaps than he really cared, but he knew the more he asked for the more he would get and rightly divined that a medium would be struck upon which a nation could exist. It is futile to speculate about what might have been the result without the services of Hamilton, but it is certain that without the commanding power and great ability of some such man as he, union would have been long delayed if reached at all and despite any just criticism that may be made against his ideas of government we must remember that our constitution and form of government is, in great measure, a living testi- monial to the genius and constructive statesmanship of Alex- ander Hamilton. By the acceptance of the constitution by the people an union was made indissoluble, ttbinding together millions of brothersfl Henceforth it was to be the chief source of author- ity, though strenuously denied by many. Its friends declared that along with its expressed powers went all necessary and reasonable intendants. Its enemies asserted it was laden with no more power than was expressed in so many words. Re- solved to its last analysis there were those who said a nation had been createdchat it meant something. On the other hand there were those who said no such thing as an union controlled by one central authority was thinkableethat it meant next to nothing. These were the Views of the constitution when there came to the Supreme Bench of the country one of the profound- est of legal intelleets and the father of our constitutional law John Marshall. Marshall believed the framers of the constitution meant what they said and that their work should be given its natural meaning and construction. How easy it is now to so hold. Not so a century ago. Jay saw nothing very great about it. Ells- worth made no lind. The product of seven years of war and the flower of statesmanship lay almost prostrate before its very keepers. But what are words without actions, without deeds? With unsurpassed clearness and simplicity of expression, with such natural and irresistible logic did Marshall bring to bear in his interpretation of the constitution; s0 apt, so fit were his eluei- dations of that great instrument that it did not, it could not fail to command the support of the people and to so firmly fix in our system of government the great truths of nations7 power and unity that when the ttrains descended and the fioods came and the winds blew and beat upon that house it fell not be- cause it was founded upon a rockW It kept the fabric of re- publican government secure for the years to come and in the 180 words of Bryant we remember the great Chief-Justiee as HThe thronging years in glory rise, And as they fieet, Drop strength and riches at thy feetW And let it be said that the greatest work of the nations judi- ciary has been to keep alive and without change the ringing decisions of Marshall and by so doing it has been rightly termed the bulwark of American liberty. Constitutional guaranties have been attacked from all sides by the most learned and eminent men. We know that the various states have from time to time passed laws that, had they been sustained, would have set at naught all that had been gained by seven years of revolution; would have rendered im- possible the great. Republic we now know; would have swept away our national existence; would have said to the historial1 write finis upon the annals of the new born nation and that national democracy is an impossible dream. That this never came true is, in large measure, the result of the decisions 0f - John Marshall, which are as Vital to-day as when first declared, demonstrating that certain fundamental principles are always necessary to the fullest growth and justice. When these decisions were rendered they were Viewed. as the extreme of radicalism. And so was the Constitutlon- Why? Because the new government was so different from anything the people had ever known or heard of before. The same principle of government still prevails, but we now Call It conservatism. And so with any new principle. It is termei radical at first, but When it becomes a part of the SySFem 0 government it is thenceforth looked upon as conservative. Law, then, is a resultant of the contiieting forces Of 0011' vatism and radicalism and either force working alone would 56:11 disaster; hence a proper proportion of both is necessary :5 the existence of the best in government. The establishment of any governmental institution is the work of these forces backed up by a few men. After all has been said and done there are a few who stand out and above all others and who, though long since gone, still live in our minds as the embodiment of the power,.the courage and the nobility of the nation. From among our many great men our country names four without whose services we can not con- template What the result might have been. These four men are WaShington, Hamilton, Marshall and Lincoln. What a galaxy of names! What a heritage to us has been their great work! These four men appeared successively in a great cycle of events covering a period of a little more than three-quarters of a century, which saw the settling at last by arbitrament 0f the sword of what had always been true, but not until the nation had been crimsoned with fraternal blood. About these men volumes have been written detailing their every act and shapeless stone wrought with greatest care made to bear mute 181 but inspiring testimony to their valor, courage and statesman- ship and though their marble monuments may be effaced by the tide of time and though from historyls page may be struck the redord of their great work; what they did and what they accomplished for themselves and their posterity will still live as a priceless legacy to all that are and are to be. All were leaders in their respective fields. Washington made possible the Republic. N0 honor is higher. Hamilton, more than any other man, made possible the constitution. Marshall, the great expounder, the legal colossus of his time, asserted with irre- sistible logic the powers of the Union under the constitution. Lincoln, the grandest combination of heart and brain this coun- try has ever known, Whose public career is the pride of the nation he saved, the ornament of history and the wonder of the world, made it impossible to again question our national integrity. Truly they live in a resplendent glory of an imper- ishable fame. When we have read the history of their life work we have read the history of the making of the natione the United States of America. Mine is now to set to measure, Whether they be past or present, Or in futures great unknown; I am asked t6 sing their triumphs, And the deeds of valor shown. Two years have swiftly glided 0,er, Since first we met in yonder hall; Now we part to meet me more, We ive answered to our last roll-call. Oh, that future which we longed for, Now is dawning on us fast; But we need not fear that future, If on truth we launch our craft. Though the storms of life assail us, And the battle waxes strong; Success and friendship still will hail us, While we shun the sirenis song. CLASS POEM SAMUEL SMITH. N THIS world of woe and pleasure, Thereis a task for every one; Glories which this class hath won. 182 Let our motto, ttVeritas Omnia Vincit, Be our guiding star through time; And our deeds shall reach the limit, Of a life which is sublime. Though weive differed with each other, As to how some things be run; Yet that difference drew us closer, Than perhaps we might have done. As a child in mimic battle, Develops strength for future days; We with equal childlike prattle, Did the same in campaign frays. We have delved through many pages, Worked out by those men of yore; Who have been the natiorfs sages, And, blessed the world with legal lore. In those times of earnest struggle, When we burned the midnight oil; We often thought weid had less trouble, Had those sages loved less toil. But those toils have brought them glory, And they,ve got their greatest fees; When those volumes grim and hoary, Raised this class to LL. B.,S. In the dawn of future ages, When the mists have rqlled away; I can read on history,s pages, Names of classmates of today. Some may be but honest lawyers, Working for a common fee; While others in the halls of Congress, NMould a mighty stat'eis decree? But in Congress or in office, No greater hearts With love abound; Nor more magnanimous spirit, In a world of sin is found. 183 As the lengthening shadows fall, And the twilight draws apace; May we feel both one and all, That we ,ve 110ny won our case.

ELLOW elass-mates, we are now approaching a crit- ical period in our lives. We are about to set out on a turbulent voyage beset with unknown obstacles and occult difliculties. We are to start in the ship Hope, but we desire, before we have journeyed far we can change its name to Success. After two years of assidu- ous study to obtain the theory, substance, and genius of the law, we should feel a competency to safely steer our course into the harbor of efficient, social service. Our natural and deserved desire is to be successful, but I hope we shall meet Success in a garb that will please our highest ethical sense in moments of absolute disinterestedness. Some, it may heel hope nonee may steer from a righteous and upright course to obtain Vic- tories fraught with delusions and deeeptions. But my humble , counsel is to advise you against indifference and unforeseen effects, and admonish you of the social ostraeism that follows moral delinquency. I am to advise you of nothing new, nor admonish you against that which you do not know. I. The lawyer is, be- fore everything else, a citizen of his country, state, and munic- ipality, and should be interested in and do all he can to im- prove social efficiency. 11. He is a leader in the correct ad- ministration of justice; he should, therefore, use his person- ality and training to make justice a reality and not a mean- ingless pretense. III. The lawyer is, of necessity, the natural 184 machinery; the industrial and economic interest of the people exploited by adroit and unscrupulous politicians who are sub-- servient t0 preditory interests. Wealth and happiness are leaders in politics, and his uncompromising duty is to actively support and unhesitatingly adopt every measure that Will promote legitimate progress; provide for common opportunity; secure financial firmness; insure public justice; and enable merit to triumph over favor. IV. The lawyer is a member of society, and must bear with his fellow socii, alike, the bur- dens of poor government and rejoice in the fruits of high merit. As citizens our first duty is to our immediate community. We do not now definitely know where we may locate t0 pree- tice our profession. It may be in a city or county where soelal Virtue is at a premium; or it may be in a community where the social and political indifference of the people have been ext ploited to enrich a few of its self-serving politicians who have corrupted and stigmatized social progress. you are to. be complimented; if in the latter, your duties ere increased in proportion to the languid and sordid conditloll into which they have lapsed. In the latter you will find an indifferent and reluctant people, impervious to reason but exuberant with passion. You will hnd feeling tovard edu: cation languishing; the politics but a corruption of party: If in the former, . forbidden fruits to all but a few; the many are the un- happy victims of their own creature. ' . But even in such communities there is a germ of public akening'a neW social consciousness. aw It is useless longer to suppress public discussion of the sad and sordid condition of our prolitariat class. It has become nationwide, and has given birth to a new sense of economic freedom. Their consciousness of industrial oppression is man- ifested by the present unrest, and has been given unequivocal expression thru their ballot. There can be no doubt, This present unrest has given birth to a party of impatient agitators Whose only Virtue is its iniiuenoe in bringing about a recog- nition among this absorbed class of their exploited condition. The remedies it offers are obnoxious to a balanced constitu- tional government, and sure to be subversive of republican institutions. But unless this party of agitators is substituted by a party of enlightened policies, unless a party of principles is substituted, Willing to enact into a working reality, prudent laws to the reasonable satisfaction of this impatient and rest- less class, this dangerous party is sure to receive at least a qualified indorsement. . It is our duty as educated and enlightened representa- tives of this struggling class to point out a plan of action that will satisfy our struggling brothers 0n the one hand and pre- serve our heritage of free republican institutions on the other. The college man is a leader of constructive thought, and to him the country must ultimately look for social and industrial preservation. You owe it to your community to give it the benefit of your best tholts, exprest from the rostrum, thru the press, or in activity. The lawyer should be the representative and conservator of law and progress; and whether he acts 185 for the community in shaping constructive ordinances Which promote affirmative action, or Whether he burdens the ordi- nance books With prohibitive enactments, he yet stands to conserve progress. But your popularity and utility depend upon your conception of progress, your sacrifice of self-interest and your assiduity and perseverance in getting upon the ordi- nance books, laws Which broaden and extend social and eco- nomic activity rather than prohibit and restrict it. In a land of freedom and the ballot, a sympathetic and enlightened public opinion must of necessity precede a suc- cessful and permanent reform. It, therefore, devolves upon you, as proponents of social progress, to campaign in the in- terest of constructive principles; not to aggrandize your per- sonal interest; not to gain notoriety or applause as some present-day orators do, or in search of public office, except as you are the competent and efficient one to carry into eifeot your proposals; but to educate the social mind and cultivate public interest in public welfare. An intelligent and enlightened citizenship is the prime necessity in a republic of free institutions and a universal suffrage. Therefore, efficient public schools that educate the social and political mind of the youth, should be the watch word of the lawyer citizen. So economic and industrial pro- gress depend upon the general intelligence of a population. Industrial and vocational schools should, therefore, receive your active support, especially When such training forms a continuation to the fundamentals in child culture. When such become firmly established, and their true value realized, happiness and qualitative joys shall abound inAthe land. No more the vagrant route for a living; there Will follow a depopu- lation of almhouses, prisons, and other eleemosynary insti- tutions; a desecration of the chain gang; a consecration of honest labor. The home will no longer be a mere shelter from the elements, and society will become sponsorlfor the poor and not their sovereigns. These are but an infinitesimal part of the changes that can and must be wrought. These are but the minor problems that now harass our communities, but which shall, let us hope, become the obsolete and forgotten social monstrosities of a former age. ,Tis true as lawyer-eitizens our field of activity is limited. But a high example of manhood, a commingling as neighbor and brother with the most humble and unlearned citizens will have more iniiuence in uplifting their ideals and uphole stering their confidence in the higher man than all the forced legislation or prohibitive laws that you may be instrumental in enacting. Remember they are common brothers in a com- mon cause. They need a strong arm to lean on. They need a strong leader to counsel and sustain them. They will in turn support and uphold every prudent measure and pro- gressive policy that comes from a sincere, upright, magnani- mous leader. To the state our duties are much the same. It requires a deeper view of government and a broader iield of activity. Instead of one, we have many communities; but your duties toward justice, education, and expedient legislation grow more intense in proportion to the number of people affected by their operation. The nation claims our greatest services. It is so vitally affected by extraneous circumstances both politically and economically that its greatest minds for two generations have been perplexed by its complications. These perplexities have arisen, principally from an attempt on the part of perfidious and pusillanimous politicians acting to serve three masters- wealth, their party, and their constituency. True state men are rare, and when one does arise who can and will act for us he . has wealth and his party to contend witheparty I say, a curse and an affront to American Intelligence as our parties are presently constituted. When a President of this nation must account for his official acts to his party organization, by tell- ing the people it was the best law that could be had consistent with party harmony, it is time for a mature reform. When the consent of the opulent interests of a nation must be ob.- tained before a law, affecting the industries of that nation, can be passedethat that interest and no other must be cone sulted-I protest that that nation is fast becoming internally helpless. That nation shall become a prey to a set plutoeracy; class distinction must of necessity arise; and the liberty and equality guaranteed by the constitution must become a use- less name. But we hear the plaintiff cry of at least sixty-five millions of people of this proud commonwealth vehemently protesting against the perfidy of officeholders who heed the beck of an esoteric and invisible government. It is time they who stand as champions of a nobler America, should unwrap the strang- ling cord of monopoly and open the door to common Oppor' tunity. It is time the plaintive voice of these millions b9 heeded or the political guillotine operated by the ballot b0X shall cause the longest and saddest political funeral ever 1'9' corded on the historianis records of this country. This nation now, if ever demands your best. the college bred men that the nation must look to consel'Ve progress. A nation, growing more and more heterogeneoys in the citizenship; whose industrial complexity perpleXeS us It is to be 186 test minds; Whose tariff laws are growing obsolete and e financial system needs revising, demands men of tried Jddelity and unquestioned probity. A nation whose foreign interests are almost appalling in magnitude; whose election laws were made for another age; with sections brewing with race prejudice; and whose very institutions are resting breath- less on an agitated public opinionesuch a nation demands that all patriotic men7 of what ever creed, party, or affiiliation should co-Opefate to make a nobler country; to make a repre- sentative government that represents. That nation demands of you, as representative young men, to shrink no duty, give no quarter, and ttbattle for the actual rights of menfl We have a noble political ancestry Whose intrepidity and valor should be our emulation. We now have a clamoring brotherhood Whose plaintive cry we should meet and satisfy. We Shall have a critical posterity to whom we should leave the example of duty done, and the blessing of social regen- eration. This done and our duty to our nation shall be recom- pensed. We have performed our duty, and duty is its own grea whos reward. As representatives of the law we should be conservators of the law. And the best way to conserve the law is to prac- tice it as the people have written and grown it, not to pervert it, I hope it may not be said of you that you are a good law- yer because you show men how to avoid the effects of the law. I Should challenge such a statement as an opprobrious charge of professional turpitude. To help men break the law is a perversion of justice, and does not represent the law, but does minimize the peoples faith in justice and in the integrity of the legal profession. You must keep uppermost in mind that a lawyer is an officer of the court, and that the courts are the 187 inviolable sanctuaries of justice. The lawyer stands in a dual capacity, he represents the law and justice on the one hand, as a representative of the state and society, and his client on the other. His duty to the court and justice are the stronger for they are the creatures of society, adding to this the power and authority which society grants him to exercise his talents, the reasons are cogent. Does society grant him a license to pervert justice and subvert its institutions? Does it expect him through his tact, sagacity, and adroitness to serve a re- fractory and avaricious client in a manner repugnant to law as society has established? I can give an unequivocal No. But it does imply that he will loyally serve his client consonat with the truth, justice and social tranquility. The lawyer should overcome an execrable cupidity; he should beware of a vaunted pride in his talents. He should abhor as detest- able the act of lawyers vending their abilities as so much mer- chandise, and condemn as dishonorable the barter of justice or a compromise of principle. He should stand for justice as a principle and not as a price. If we keep in view the ends of governmenteto obviate the least suffering and insure the most good to the greatest numberseand that the courts are the only instruments of government through which wrongs and abuses are recom- pensed, we will sedulously labor to strip their procedure of the superfluous and artificial impediments that obstruct and hinder real justice. Such impediments out 01f remedies be- fore the merits of a cause can be heard and adjudicated, and should not be tolerated. These abuses destroy faith in the court and create an apathy toward the noble men who assume to adminster justiceemen whose characters are as spotless and pure as their ermine. There are many court reforms, that need a champion, but I do not expect you to champion them. If, however, in later years When these measures of reform come maturely before you, and you give them a negative support I shall be greatly disappointed. If so my humble counsel falls on listless ears, and my solicitations and importunities are as idle breath. There is one reform I cannot refrain mentioning, that is our jury system. As presently constituted and under the com- mon law, it is an insult to American intelligence, and an aspern sion on the legal integrity of our nation. Under the law the most ignorant citizen is the most desirable juror. Candor per- mits me to say that the man Who knows the least law, and the least about the case before the court7 Who does not read the daily newspapers and has never formed an opinionethat man is the prize juror of this enlightened and civilized country. With the fifteen to twenty preemptory challenges Which the counsel for each side may have, the most ignorant, superstitious, and easily persuaded jury may be selected to judge to death an innocent man or set at liberty the lieentious and guilty. Anaeharses, the Greek philosopher, convincingly expressed our present system When he said of the Greek assembly, ttWise men argue your cases but fools decide themW My friends, this is an acerbity justly expressed and righteously applicable to our present system. Shall college bred lawyers-young men who are the true elite and honorable representatives of a consciously humble but intelligent elass-go out into a Country With obsolete laws and needed changes, there to sit idly by and await one Who dares to do right? Shall he procrastinate until another generation must spend its life blood to eradicate a deep rooted and obnox- ious system? God forbid! May your sense of duty eclipse 188 all other Virtues. HIn the theater of life? said Shakespeare, itonly God and his angels are lookers-onW College bred law- yers therefore, should be the active leaders to make a nobler America; to make life more tolerable, and progress more as- sured, to espouse a just cause and stand for civic righteousness in all temperatures of public passion. The lawyer, then, as a citizen should vote for just and afiirmative laws, support honest, upright and intelligent men for office, and make his community exemplary in morals, edu- cation and amusement. The lawyer as a political leader should not sustain an itching palm, but honestly, conscientiously, and prudently represent his constituency. As a practitioner, he should exact from his client the truth, and present the truth to the court. Society must not have guilty criminals and licentious plutocrats turned into its midst by the sagacity and adroitness of an unscrupulous lawyer. My friends, there is an honor, a glory and sublimity, WhiCh must commend itself to talented men other than the h01.10r and glory of Winning empty and vicious legal Victories. HThere is a true glory and a true honorf, said Robt. E. Lee, Hthe glory of duty done and the honor of integrity of prm- ciplesfi There was no man Who could speak thus with more right than he. But I shall add one clause of Which his noble life was an heroic examplehthat there is the sublime in human life; the sublimity of a noble character. With these precepts in memory, let an unfaltering duty be our incentive; let truth be our criterion; let justice be our . principle, efficiency and character our aim. These 0111' ten- ents, success shall lavishly crown our efforts and 011? glory and honor shall be immortal. CLASS HISTORY ORVILLE JAMES DEEGAN. HE circumstances that environed the first law school, long ago in the eleventh century, at i been discontinued. The beginning of all institu- tions is, perhaps, the most interesting particular in their exist- ence; and so with the Geniuses 0f the Law Class of 13. From everywhere came its members, each of whom was a stranger to the others; but with remarkable ease and grace did they be- come acquainted. The strongest reason, therefor, was the com- mon end to which all were to strive. This Class was early influenced by the environments among which its members labored and lived. The Old Law Building, s-a structure which must have been planned and constructed by some one other than a carpenter, probably a musiciane being far removed from the University proper, invited a spirit of independence. A perusal of this history will serve suffi- ciently to prove this statement. At the instance of their first class meetings, Dean BowmarNs pleasant remarks endued even the most home-siek one of those would-be-Websters with a feeling that. springs only from the strong and courageous heart. It was upon this occasion that the Dean gave these junior lawyers a definition of law 189 which was not in keeping with the ideas of law that those laddies cherished; for they believed that a definition of law to be correct, should include something concerning policemen, ealabooses, handcuffs and Sherlock Holmes, or William Burns, the detective. But not a word about such things or persons did he mention in that definition. Said he, HLaw is the result- ant 0f eonliieting social forces less the conservatism of courts of justicefl After this discovery these novices in the study of law took on a more mattereof-fact appearance; and they are still wearing furrowed brows and touseled heads. Although the extaney of these disciples of Blackstone be- gan within the memory of man, yet, so swift and many were the events of their career, that it might be fairly presumetl: their history began so far back that the memory of man run- neth not to the contrary. To mention some of these events will, undoubtedly, recall to the members of the class some of the sweetest and most pleasant memories. Anticipating the strenuous days that lie out before them, an election was held by these soon-to-be-guardians of the Hill. It was upon this occasion that oratory of the sweet sounding Southern and the sharp-aeeented Northern type iiowed so abundantly; It, required not a prophet to foretell that it was from these must come, in the following year, those leaders who proved such a discomhture to the authorities, when they, in order to protect an opera company, saw fit. to tread upon cer- tain Valparaiso University students like so many footpads. But the history. of these embryo lawyers was in iieri. Already are the present juniors making use of stare decisis in respect of that historyf To ask a lawyer which he loves more, politics or his wife, --no other alternative can be considered by the lawyer-would place him under embarrassment such as the man who was asked whether he had left off beating his mother-in-law; an answer either way would be to him very unsatisfactory and not entirely correct. Class politics are waged with such fervor and realty that they become an institution in themselves. On the occasion of the first election of officers the class became divided, and under the sway of every type of oratory and wit, the organization became replete. This division in the class continued throughout the junior year, and it is enough to say, that the Victorious majority, dominating upon that occasion, retained its equilibrium, and elected the class officers at the three following elections of the junior year; but. not doing so except under fire from the losing minority. In the train of events which makes up this interesting his- tory, the examinations at the close of the first term presented an immoderate degree of excitement. Anxious moments, in- deed were those which followed that first series of tests. Had every one given a definition of seisin, 0r dower and curtesy, that Professor John Boman would accept? True it was that nearly every answer was of greater or less length. One worthy junior said that seisin was to Real-Property what the soul was to the body, something intangible, invisible, ete etera, and that 190 in modern law we did not use it. Whether or not that answer was correct the writer is unable to say, but it is known that the author of that examination paper has a credit in elementary Law, A. This initial examination was to the lawyers what Auster- litz was to Napoleon, for the succeeding ones were met With increased strength and success. Although this latter statement seems not to be well taken, yet the Class of 13 is only the kernel of that large class that began the study of law on that beautiful morning in September, 1911; and as the shell is discarded, when use is to be made of the nut, so the present class of juniors is the result of a pruning process that begun far back in the junior year. The winter of nineteen hundred twelve was one of bitter cold and unpleasant weather; but our beginners in the study of law bore on through the maze of legal lore planned for them. All work did not well agree with the spirit of these ambitious youths, as their nature, in this respect, is hybrid in character; so, naturally, a banquet suggested itself as an adequate means for festivity. Accordingly, plans were made and in the severe weather of February, the rulers of the Hill with their fair 00- eds hied away to the banquet hall. The writer dwells upon this occasion with much pleasure, since his memory as to that point of time serves him well. . . After the occasion above described, it was matter of JUdl' . eial knowledge that the lawyers were favorites of the dress- makeris constituency. And, too, it was at this time that It became a matter of general knowledge that the junior law 0.1355 was composed of men of every ability; some proved humorlstsi some orators, and all talkers. The able addresses Of Dean Bowman and Professor John Boman, and the extemporaneous talk Of James McGuftin were the principal features of the pro- gram. Another event, although not. at once so popular, but at- tended with greater results, was the Base Ball Receipt Probe. Here, it may be said, to the credit of this class of lawyers, that they had the courage, not only to talk of the scandal that was committed by a few persons into whose hands fell the gate receipts for three consecutive Saturdays, but also to find that such receipts had not been properly accounted for. The probe stopped the gate collections and had the effect of placing the financial management of the Base Ball Association in the hands of Professor 0. P. Kinsey, who has so satisfactorily conducted it during the present season. The junior year was nearing its close When Professor Kinsey made his appearance before the class. He announced the date of the lawyers alumni, and in his jovial way, informed the class that any who did not possess a half-dollar for the ticket to that function, he would gladly become his creditor. Pro- fessor Kinseyts visits were like a sip from the HOld Oaken Bucket,, to the lawyers, because of his humorous sayings and benign personality. An incident which gave rise to some misgivings, on the part of some citizens, occurred on the occasion of the election of a representative to the alumni. The ease might thus be stated: One Wascom deemed it necessary, in a nominating speech which he was making, to direct a few inveetives toward his old political enemy, one James Lawson; now James cared not for such reputation as Wascom would ascribe to him. Upon adjournment, a challenge was tendered and accepted; and lo 191 and behold, there was a fist-i-cuff; wrestling, tumbling, and scratching were in order. A tumble into the street brought the fistio heroes in contact with harder substances and nearer their rapidly increasing admirers. After strength seemed to have gone from them, a truee was agreed upon, which has lasted until this day. It was now J une and school was concluded; the farm, store, and divers agencies awaited the coming of those Hwho know howf, From this fine class of men many recruits would be had; and away hied these proud youths, now seniors, full of great hopes and dreaming great dreams. September came and was almost gone, the chapel bell chimed forth its gladsome tidings; and the real life of that great throng of students was only a portion of what was once a large and buoyant class. Many had not returned; but, hap- pily, those whose records were brightest in the junior year, were there. The Senior year opened bright and hopeful; the class was small in numbers, but did not lack strength; the quaint old saying, ttThat things of quality are done, up in small parcelsll seemed very applicable indeed. The first election of class officers in the senior year demon- strated that class harmony was of prime importance to every senior; those officers were chosen in one faith unanimous. As age brings wisdom, so age needs wisdom; thus, it was that these students needed greater wisdom to successfully master more difficult work that would be placed before them. Hence, how necessary was it to agree upon these minor matters. Moot Court, with JudgeyDowdell, was a change to the more pleasant. Comment from the Judge and the Dean are ample l w authority for the statement that the work as done was of a very high class and intensely interesting. More than one case was taken by the Court under advisement. A gala day camevupon the occasion of the Senior Banquet. The feast was prepared by Professor Kinsey; lawyers and guests were one in declaring it fit for princes and princesses. Festivities began early and continued long. Wit and humor were not lacking, since the Irish story was much indulged in. The class president, Mr. Fisher, in his congenial way, bid wel- come to the guests. Mr. Hireis splendid exposition on Legal Ethics was ably rendered. An occasion for much mirth was had when Mr. McGuffin rendered his address, composed, in the main, of comical moot cases from the criminal law. In a humorous way, teharacteristie of the gentlemanl Mr. Alder- man portrayed his classmates, future; the beginning was not so promising, but he finished by aseribing to each a very bright future. Special mention should be made of the splendid ad- dresses of Dean Bowman, J ohn Boman and Judge Dowdell. The month of May came with bright promises, Com- mencement loomed into prominence; talk of baccalaureate ad- dresses, class day exercises and the wearing of gowns, seemed rife. And when the time came for the election of oiiicers, many aspirants were to be found. In this election polities seemed to have taken a fresh hold upon these unwary seniors, and weven then the tumult of loud mirth was rife and perfect in our lis- tening ears. This election gave to one young man such a shock that he moved the chairman, that the steam roller which, as he thought, had been used in the choice of officers, be bequeathed to the junior class; but since reference to the class record disclosed the fact that that instrument had been devised to the junior 192 class, long ago, and that the devise had not lapsed, but good, the motion was tabled. - University Circuit Court and Judge Gillette brought in- terest to the department. Each senior labored hard and long on his case, for every one realized an advantage that does not come to every law student, in having the ablest jurist in the state of Indiana as his judge and preceptor. The experience to be gained from association with Judge Gillette in the court work is, undoubtedly, as valuable as any that can be found in any other law school. Every lawyer thought to win his case. But to have a jury return a verdict for lifty thousand dollars in a nve hundred dollar damage suit, and at the same time have the judge tell you that the verdict cannot stand, does not give pleasure to the successful lawyer. Now comes the important moment to the senior lawyer of ,13e00mmencement. It seems to be the supreme and brightest hour of all, yet upon reflection, the brightness be- comes darkened and sadder thoughts come and go. Why this feeling, is this not the end of a long and tiresome journey? Have these lawyers not done well their task? It is all to be answered by this explanation: While the gain in that long period of development is inestimable, still friendships have sprung up in the class that are of the strongest type. Every one will leave many earnest friends, not one of whom he cares to forget and all of whom he will yearn to be near, eSpeCially, in the days of actual practice. And the gentlemen who have been their preeeptors have woven themselves into the very being of these students. To that. faculty a great debt is due- Perhaps, a portion of that debt will be paid if the debtor? shall play the role in life that has been planned for them. Eacd member of the class has the deepest respect for the able men who compose the law faculty, for the class knows full well what an important part that faculty has played in training it in the grandest of professions. Failure of any Will not be due to the lack of duty on the part of those instructors. Every member of the class entertains for Dean Bowman the respect and admiration which come only from earnest men. He has indelibly impressed his master mind upon all. In Pro- fessor John Boman the class found a companion as well as a teacher. Because of his affiability, the class cherishes for him a feeling akin to love; for is it not said that, Haffiability is a wonderful efficacy or power in the procurement of love. Judge Gillette Will always be remembered as he is,-a fine type of the learned lawyer and gentleman. His delightful lectures will not cease to bear fruit until the last of the class shall cease to be. These are, indeed, the halcyon days for the gentlemen of this class; and, while the merry sunbeams beat down so strenuously and the world seems to pause in its progress, lov- ing friends and pleasant homes are awaiting their return. There amid the broad shading trees they Will recuperate strength, and ponder the recollections of two years last pre- ceding. This is the close of that splendid history which extends over a period of two delightful years. Although only a part of that illustrous class of junior students, in 1911, have reached the goal for Which they aimed, yet that part, Without doubt, is the flower of the Law Department. Its members represent the ideal of the Law Faculty. May they go forth With full recognition of their duty, and, When they shall, again, have gathered together at the foot of their Alma Mater; may she say, Hthese are mine; no better have I known; welcome, Ye Unparagoned lawyers of 13W 193 I 9 I 3---PROPHECY-nl 940 JAMES A. MCGUFFIN. Nunc pro Tune. HE accuracy of my prophecy rests with the mem- , ; bers of the graduating Class upon whom its fulfill- H . t ments will largely depend and the opinion which cw the gentlemen before the bar have appointed me to - deliver must. stand as a case of first impression, resting upon broad and well established general principles. At the time of my graduation in 1913, I cherished the ambition to represent my country abroad in the consular and diplomatic service and a few years later was appointed Secre- tary t0 the American Embassy to Italy and remained abroad for twenty years when I resigned and after a tour of Europe and the United States retired to spend my declining years at Pasa- dena, my southern California home, near Los Angeles. While seated upon the broad veranda at home in that place of blissful delights and turning over the leaves of the 1913 Annual of Valparaiso University, the familiar faces of my classmates of the Law department recalled to mind the old days at Valpo and wishing to know how they had fared and prospered in the years gone by, I sent out letters of inquiry to the last known address of each, and from their replies I gathered the informa- tion that they had sought fame and fortune in different parts 194 of the world and Were counted among the leaders in their re- spective communities. Some were prominent and foremost among the countryts representative men and all had reaped the sure rewards of the long hours of study in laying the foun- dation of their legal education upon sound principles and With- out exception were grateful toward the University for their opportunities and toward the instructors of the faculty for their helpful guidance and assistance, for their zeal and pe- tience, for the valuable training of their mental faculties 111 the processes of legal reasoning, and for their admonitions to be ever on the alert for ttQualihcations and Exceptions to the general Rulesft I. J. and P. W. Fetterhoff were serving a large clientage- They are now successful and reputable lawyers doing busmeSS under the firm name of Fetterhoff Bros., but are known among their friends as the nBetter OEtt lawyers. They are the 0W11' ers of a row of Office buildings in Gary, Ind., which is proof that they have made good. . f Prof. Earl Scott, practitioner at the bar and champlonio the Common Law System of Pleading, has a large practice, Wlth offices in Chicago and contributes many articles to the leadlng LaW journalsa pointing out wherein the ttlnveterate Iheongru- itieSH Of Common Law ?leadihg have the equal S1111pllClty and perspicuity of the multiplication table, anything in the. con- stitution of the twenty-nine coole states and Hepburn,s Histor- ical Development of Code Pleading ctto the contrary notwith- standingy With his Views however, W. R. Smith, instructor in Code Pleading and Practice of New York University, does not agree. The only controversy of wide interest that ever arose between any of the 1913 class graduates was one wherein defendant, Scott, was charged by plaintiff, Smith, with an assault and battery upon the N. Y. system of code pleading. The plea was, 5011 assault demesnei, wherefore the said Earl Scott did then and there defend the common law pleading as he lawfully might and doing so did necessarily and unavoidably a little beat, wound and ill treatt, the code system, but doing 110 unnecessary damage to the feelings of the said W. R. Smith. At last accounts after declaration, plea, replication, rejoinder, surrejoindei', rebutter, surrebutter and later pleadings ad infinitum the issue was decided in favor of the codes by a pre- ponderance of the evidence. After graduation Benj. D. Farrar was sought by the base- ball nines of all the leading law schools to accept a position as center helder, but declined all offers and took up the practice of law in Galesburg, 111., where he has since resided and for several years has held the office of Corporation Counsel of that city. The most noted ball team manager and promoter of Amer- ican sports proved to be a 1913 Valpo lawyer in the person of ttTyrus CobbT Anderson, who decided that a $15,000. salary as team manager was easier than a $5,000 law practice. Ap- peals from the ttumphsi, decisions were taken upon writs of 195 error and from Andy7s judicial decision there was no higher appeal. , The state of 111., reversing her former traditions of Stand- patism sent to Congress another of her favorite sons, Roy C. Martin, to become Speaker of the House and Master of Cer- monies there. He is still the speaker and expects to complete a thirty years term. His most famous short, speech was one in these words, ttGentlemen, I am surprised at the action you have taken while 1 was absent, but Tm with you boys, first, last and all the timeW Bennett Nerby was elected county Superintendent of schools and later as member of the N. Dak, legislature, in which capacity he served for ttthree termsll Mr. Nerby became the ancestor of a large number of Hheirs and assigns7, among whom the transfers of property made a great deal of work for the abstraetors. Mr. Elmer L. Lincoln became a reformer and well known through his activities in reforming the politics of his state. In later years he gave his time to the ministry and to work in the field of social uplift; by his persuasive eloquence and clear7 incisive logic he carried convictions to the hearts of many who heard him. The most noted temperance advocate of the class was 0. R. Moyle, who was known from Racine7 Wis, to Podunk, La, and from Maine to California as the greatest booze fighter in the country. The closing of the saloon and the extinction of the species of blind tigers was due largely to his ringing denun- ciation of those two evils. Famous among our country,s noted tenor soloists is the name of Paul Elijah Crundwell, who, though successful at the bar, gave up the practice to become a member of the Metro- politan Grand Opera 00., of N. Y. City and for ten years has been appearing almost nightly before crowded houses. He has sung before the crowned heads of Europe and the bald heads in the front rows of many of the leading theaters of this coun- try. , Judge Richard J. Fisher of Pittsfield, Mass, in the heart of the Berkshires, for many years prominent in the political affairs of his state, now occupies a seat on the bench 0f the Supreme Judicial Court of Mass, and his opinions are classed with those of Story and Kent. On the far away Pacific coast, in the city of Portland, Ore- gon, distinguished as a jurist and legislator, recently elected Gov. of the state, with an excellent record as a staunch sup- porter 0f the code of the peoples rule, resides Wise Alderman, our 1913 class orator. The ttLittle Giant? Orville J, Deegan, exepresident and historian of his class, following the example of his prototype, Stephen A. Douglas, has elevated himself to the office of Attiv.

Hyer, successful lawyer, honest and fearless in public life, who wears the state senatorial toga, following in the footsteps of her famous Lafollette. From the state of Mont.7 as a mining lawyer to the import- ant position of Director of the Bureau of Mines, rose the Hon. Geo. Padbury, J12, successor to Heinze tnot dill pickle Heinze 0f the iifty-seven varietiesi, but F. Augustus Heinze, as copper king and mining promoter. When the country called for a man for the office of Chief, Padbury filled the bill. Four of my inquiries went to foreign lands and I learned 196 that in the far eastern Philippines Francisco Senoren had been first elected Provincial Fiscal, then a member of the Philippine Assembly and has recently become Gov. of his Province and among his people was honored next to Aguinaldo and the illustrious, martyred Filipino patriot, Dr. Jose Rizal. Theodore Svetcov became an editor and publisher of inter- national fame and later returned to his native country and is now Vice-President of the new Balkan Republic of Bulgaria, proclaimed in 1930. Mr. 'Shizuka Hasebe 0f Wakamatu, Japan, was for some years Counsellor in the office of the See. for Foreign affairs. He has written a very interesting account of the people and government of the old and the new Japan, with chapters on the sacred mountain of Fujiyama, cherry blossoms, jinrickishas, tea gardens, Geisha girls, juijuitsus, diabutsus and other phases of life and institutions of the Sunrise Kingdom. From the city of Pekin came a letter from Mont. Hum- phreus, stating that he had entered the U. S. Government ser- vice as student interpreters at the Legion to China and has DOW ibecome legal advisor to A. H. Fat Duck, fourth President Of the Chinese, Republic. Mont. says the people have returned to the customs of old and that he now wears a queue and the oriental dress of a Mandarin. Milton T. Dix is a well known patent attorney with head- quarters and law offices in Washington, D. 0. He has obtalned many valuable patents for his clients. ' Brother Samuel Smith was employed for two years 11? 13h: 0011th Clerkis office at Valpo and his duties Were to issu marriage licenses. He required all applicants to producefi certiiieate of graduation in a course of a hundred hfmrs 1n Sagerology, but since the students in law could find no tlme for extra outside studies, and fearing the lake would freeze up solid, he removed to Seattle, Washington, and became a search- er of records and examiner of land titles. From the sunny Southland came the word that Louis Pres- ton Spinks had located near his old home in Miss, and built up a successful law practice. He has always taken an active part in public affairs and became President of a patriotic or- Of Southern traditions, the doctrine of States Rights and to prevent any defieetion from the Democracy 0f the solid South. Humphrey G. Dukes resides at his country home upon a Georgia plantation. Mr. Dukes is engaged in the practice of law at Atlanta, Georgia. Was elected and served as District Attorney and rose to the office of Presiding officer of the State Senate. A similar country home is owned at Fresno, Cal., by Thos. E. Jeffries, who combines the practice of law with peach cul- ture, raisin and wine making. Sometimes he raises tteanefy especially with opposing counsel and their clients. While his brother, Jos. W. Jeffries is chief Attly. for the U. S. Reclama- tion Service and has served for a number of years as a member of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Waterways Commission. Mutt and Jeif will always be remembered for none were more popular of the 1913 class than our own dear HTom and Jerryfy No class could be considered famous or renowned that did not have among its members at least one Kentucky Colonel. Our reputation was saved by our gallant Col. A. L. Stone, whose chivalry was equal to that of any young Lochinvar who ever came out of the West. Col. Stone writes that, HLove before marriage is all moonlight,w and sighs, HLove after marriage is all tmoonshine, and CRIESW ganization in his state, having for its purpose the preservation' 197 J as. P. Lawson outdistaneed all the rest of the class as a money-getter and with a Midas-like touch he turned many a doubtful business speculation into a success, the outcome of which was real gold. Walter C. Klitzing is a wealthy real estate dealer in Tuc- son, Ariz., handling all kinds of real property from a dirt cheap farm to a Sanitarium or a city block to suit purchasers. Our learned class Counsellor, Wm. Reiter, is Pres. and Gen. Mgr. of a large dry goods emporium at Valparaiso, Ind., having now become the John Wanamaker of his class. Excursions from nearby towns are a feature of his great department store as the class of geods he sells are Style-plus-quality and guaran- teed to fit any size pocket book-plus. Fred P. Warber of Minn, unanimous choice of the 1913 class for its fourth term President, located in St. Paul, became a traction magnate and owner of suburban and interurban elec- tric street railways connecting the twin cities and was by the Gov. appointed a member of the Board of Regents of the Uni- versity of Minn. No record of a case of disbarment proceedings was ever reported of any member of the 1913 class. All have been suc- cessful and prosperous and have rendered valuable services to the country, upholding with dignity and honor the supremacy and majesty of the law. At the close of the law year of 1938 it was arranged that the 1913 class should attend the reunion of the alumni and on our return to Valparaiso we found the old college town grown to a city of twenty-iive thousand and Valparaiso University in the front rank among the largest and most important institu- tions of learning in the U. S. Many new buildings with labora- tories, libraries, class rooms, large gymnasium and baths and swimming pools were open to students. We found Profs. Brown and Kinsey retired from active duties, both well and happy in their great achievement and their homes the Mecca of frequent pilgrimage of former students. We Visited the old college library and read the old records and annuals, recount- ing the days when the ttLawyers Aggregatiof7 ran the Hill, stormed the halls, raided O. P. K,s. kitchen and other boyish pranks. How we, the 1912 Juniors, brought order out of chaos and initiated class reforms. How we, the 1913 Seniors, rele- gated the steam roller to the scrap heap so that well might the students of other departments exclaim, ttBehold how pleasant it is for 11s to dwell together in peace and unityf, Together- the class visited Sagefs lake and into its mirrored waters each one dropped a tear of joy at the recollections of his studies in Sagerology and for the awakening of Hdreams come true. t1 We re-Visited athletic field and reconsecrated its hallowed ground. Upon that sacred spot great battles were fought upon the diamond and, although the lawyers lost the baseball pennant, they have since won laurels in the file of forensic argument and debates. Here it was the students held their mass-meetings to organize for defense against encroachments upon their rights. From the steps of that half century old grand stand was read a new Declaration of Independence. Here Lincoln and Smith poured forth their patriotic eloquence, rallying the student forces to pledge to their comrades in captivity a usquare deal and a ttfair and impartial trialii and the traditional and fun- damental rights of students to the enjoyment of, life, liberty and the pursuit of happinessti and of free admission to the Memorial 0n the annual return of spring were reasserted and confirmed. Dedication speeches were made and our poet re- cited some verses beginning with these lines: 198 HItve come back to the college, Paw, To see the old freak tree; Pve felt the cold chills freeze my jaw, When Bowman lectured me; But none were there could stop me, Paw, And few that had a show, When I stood there and quoted law, Some twenty years agof, We Visited the old law buildingefirst home of the Northern Indiana NormaIHits modest and unpretentious class room and library from Which had gone scores of young lawyers. This building is sacred and venerated as the place which was once the workshop of Juniors in the embryo stages of the lawyerts incubation. The place seems vacant now without the presence of our honored Dean, who left the arduous duties Of instructor in the law to become a member of the United States Senate, where he was instrumental in placing many good laws upon the statute books. He will be long remembered as a CODSCleIl- tious preceptor, the master of his subjects and the author 0f several volumes on special subjects of the law. A new law building now accommodates the one thousahd students of a three year course, with thousands of volumes 111 its library and over this great department presides Prof. JohIl Boman as Dean, directing its faculty and students with inastel 1y success. Judge Gillett has retired from active practice, bu remembered for his interesting and instructive lectureS, we were as he was wont to say, ttAttytsts infieri 01' lawyers 1n the bakingY7 r Judges Burns, Dowdell and Daly are still remembered f0 t is Still When their helpful instructions and our pleasant associations with them- . , . At the close of that reunlon we parted w1th fond remem- brance and kindly feelings, perhaps never to meet again until we are called to the bar of justice in the august Tribunal before the Supreme Judge of the highest court of last resort. Classmates and friends, the rewards which we expect to claim as ours, the love of friends and gratitude of posterity we must earn in the same way we have earned our degrees. uTheI-e is no excellence without laborW We may not all leave immortal names, but if we would be successful and reach the 6:- goal, we must win our cases, as I predict you each will, by help- ing, through 0111' vocations, 111 the practice of the law, to leave to posterity a more perfect government, a better society and a world sweeter and brighter for our having lived in it, and if we do that future generations will read our epitaphs in the words spoken of that able lawyer and great President Abraham Lincoln and when we shall each have played his part and made his exit from the stage of life these words shall be our bene- diction, ttPeace to a just mants memory, may it grow greener with years and blossom through the hight of ages. 199 TESTAMENT JAMES. D. HYER. .' i vE, THE members of the Senior Class of The Depart- Jll ment of Law of Valparaiso University, being of . AW sound and disposing mind and memory, do hereby h : make and publish this our last will and testament i in order as justly as may be to distribute our inter- ests among succeeding men. Having thot much, talked little, laughed heartily, dealt squarely, grown eorpulent on diaphanous soup, dwelt in eor- ners and on house-tops, we deem it no more than our just reward that we hereby consign each and every of our souls to that mysterious realm where silver streams bathe golden banks, beautiful trees sway t0 and fro at the command of ' perfumed zephyrs, bursting suns make daylight dance and men are Gods, there to regale ourselves forevermore. After payment of our funeral expenses by our executor hereinafter named we make the following dispositions: Item tll. To each and every landlady and landlord wherever we have chanced to room while journeying on our long and tortious road, we bequeath the sum of 'one dollar to be used by them to purchase calm respose for their souls which we fear would otherwise be greatly disturbed because of their having invariably retained our dollar deposits without color of title. 200 Item t2l. Our transgressions, Violations of rules, misde- meanors, and bad habitsea list. of the same which is now se- curely filed in the archives of the college office, and stamped indelibly 0n the mind of our respected and beloved Vice Pres- identewe make no disposition of, preferring rather to die intestate with regard to these things than to east upon coming ' students the mental anguish and cold sweats which we have experienced and which are the direct progeny of the doing Of all prohibited acts. . Item By. After much conjecture, that and advice With regard to the disposition to make of that implement which has played so conspicuous and efficacious a part in the history, 311' nals, and politics of our belligerent class, we have concluded that altho it is now badly in need of repair, and is liable '00 collapse at any moment, still the Juniors may by the aid of skilled mechanics make some future use of it; and we there- fore bequeath to them the steam-roller with all its attachments and means of propulsion. . Item OD.

Engineering Class e113. VERY age has its great men, every era its leaders. Often we find changes so sudden that in a deeade7s X by time one set of prominent political and social men is I-d eclipsed and superseded by another class, whose ideas and methods are entirely different. The nation in which these changes are gradual and most oppor- tunely seasoned7 the country whose people are neither too progreseive nor too radical, that nation and that country is most prosperous and most honored. Truly HHappy is the peo- ple Whose annals are briefW War is one of the greatest factors of change. It stands to reason, howevertthat a change brought about and enforced by the might of arms must be one of sudden accomplishment. The script of the nations is covered with records of long wars and terrible conhiets that were fought to determine an answer for a question that, ultimately, must have answered itself. Our object is not to deride nor belittle those noble men of the times that are past, who left their plows in the furrows and bravely and fearlessly shouldering their muskets answered the call of the bugle and the roll of the drum, that we, thru them, might have and enjoy a civilization7 education, religion and freedom that, otherwise, must have been far above us. What we say here could do little to either add t07 0r detract 214 from the glories of those slippery fields of fame, for it was only by the nameless sacrifices and awful price those fore- fathers paid, that our country stands out today, the leader of all nations and the home of all that are oppressed. The very statues of this grea and glorious United States of America is a monument to those heroes of the wars of our history, such as could no fortunes command nor people erect. But we have come now, to new times. A new order of things is extant an already we hear the cry of a new genera- tion of thought and action, not for war and destruction, but for peace and unison among men, not for bloody conflicts and the annihilation of he flower of our youth7 but for the encour- agement and advancement of work in all the arts and sciences and the making of more and better professional men, not for the slaughtering rain of grape and cannister, but for the spread- ing broadcast of re igious truths and moral ideals, not for the e deafening roar of massive guns and the awful shriek 0f greet missiles that deal death and destruction to everything in their path, but for men trained in the better construction and 111mm tenanee of our rai roads, skyscrapers, mines, ships and the sewerage, power and water supply plants of the world- A breathless urchin rushed to a constable in the slums and called: HYouiiie wanted dahn our court-and bring a ham- inulance.H The policeman inquired concerning the need 0f the ambulance and the urchins answer was, as he left, on a run: uMuvveras found the lidy wot pinched our doormatW Long have we sought and endeavored to put from us the thief of our nations millions, spent annually in the maintenance of her army and navy, but at last we have awakened to the task before us and are figuring the good that could be accomplished with these millions. We have ttfound the lidy wot pinched Our doormatW To meet the demands of the day, Which are, undoubtedly, both economically and morally right, there has arisen a new class of men. They are almost all young men, for their work itself is new, and they are largely eollege-trained men, for their problems are so varied and complex that even their college studies give them but a glimpse of what they will meet in their life7s work. These are the civil engineers and their work is ttThe art of directing the great sources of power in nature, for the use and convenience of manft Their prob- lems are of management, machines, mathematics and men. The profession of civil engineering offers a broader and more varied field of work than any other occupation of man. We find our classmates of the college, five years after gradu- ation, in almost every conceivable place and kind of work. Some are in drafting and designing work in the offices of the great engineering firms, some in the great power plants, others in municipal work and still others in the efficiency department of the. big mills, factories and plants of almost innumerable kinds. You will find them in the skyscrapers of the great cities, poring over their maps, tables, data and endless lines of figures in their computations. They are outlining work for hundreds of the toilers of the days that are still unborn. Still another of the many divisions of these men we call the civil engineers, shall we mention, and of this class the world knows but little. They are the engineers on the job and their field of work includes the surface of the earth between the north and south poles. They are the surveyors and men whose duty it is to irrigate, drain and build railroads, bridges and highways in the parts of every country that are undeveloped and consequently of but little value to man. Theirs is the tremendous task of beating a trail for progress and civilization and in the snows and among the glaciers of Alaska, in the roughest parts of our own West and among the mountains or on the hot plains of Mexico, South America, Africa and India, we find them with their transits and levels, mapping out the land, laying out routes of travel and studying the resources of the country. True it is that art, music, law, medicine and the press have done much to further the progress of men, but all of these have worked at home. Find us today a set of men who have left all behind them and, standing the hardships of a life in a land that knew them not, have endured then the brunt of more hard toil, accomplished greater feats of skill and brains and died nobler martyrs to the great causeea higher civilization than have the civil engineers. Point out to us, if you can, a class of professional men, on whom depend to a greater de- gree, the management of the future affairs of state, the pro- vision for the opening of new country and the satisfaction of the demands of our people for a greater speed in transporta- tion, a more efficient production of the output of our manu- facturing industries and a higher safety in all lines of work and travel. 215 A.

PRACTICAL VALUE OF A TECHNICAL EDUCATION Oration by FRED LAMOTTE. MDUCATION is the development and cultivation of ' ft the physical mental and moral powers of man In a broader sense, it eomprehends all that disciplines l'zJand enlightens the understanding, corrects the tem- I'zJper, cultivates the taste and forms the manners and habits A technical education is an education intended to train a person in the arts and sciences that underlie the prac- tice of all the trades and professions. The technical education, one receives in the engineering course of any of our universities today, fits the student for the practice of engineering but little better than he would find himself equipped for almost any line of business or managerial occupation. Engineering is, of all the professions under the sun, the broadest, and if the engineering student can but acquire Well the ability to practice mental concentra- tion, neat record-keeping, precise accounting and computa- tion, and a clear, accurate use of his mother tongue, he has learned in the college the lessons that will be most useful and most valuable to him in after life. It is generally acknowledged that mathematics is the back- bone of our engineering courses and the mainspring of a mathe- matieai ability is the attempt to adjust, accurately and eco- nomically, the means to an end. Mathematics may be studied 217 Witl two objects in view, the first of these being mental disci- pline, and the second, the application of its principles to the solution of practical problems, or their successful use as a tool. In he ordinary literary course, the first of the objects takes the primary place, While the second receives comparatively litt e attention. On the other hand, in a course of engineering mathematics, although the first of these objects cannot Wisely be neglected, because a knowledge of the principal forms the best basis for their intelligent application, yet the second ob- jee reaches its maximum importance in such a Course. No one can be a successful practical engineer, who cannot skill- ful y apply the principles of the sciences that so largely form the very foundations upon which his professional knowledge and practice must be built. Still there is a great aesthetic joy and logical culture derived from the participation in the up uilding of the great abstract structure of symbolic eon- quest. There is, indeed, an invaluable, inealeuiably important, mental and manual drill in accuracy, neatness and method that comes from the correct, systematic manipulation of mathe- matical forms. Not to be neglected is that intensifying and heightening of the powers of precise English expression and thinking that makes mathematics in our universities almost a substitute for a thorough legal training. However7 with Pope, we are coming to believe that the proper study of mankind is man. In this study we include all men, the normal and the defective, the successful and the unsuccessful. Frequently we learn more from our failures than from our successes. Opportunities are greater than ever before, only to a man who can add to a more intensive techni- cal knowledge7 a wider grasp of industrial affairs and an abili- ty to deal effectively with men. In View of the enormously important part which the engi- neer plays in the life of today, it is incumbent upon him, more than upon most other men, to take a vital interest in the works of government and to lend his trained ability and judgement to its perfection. It is notorious that enormous amounts of money have been squandered 011 great public works because they were undertaken in a way which every engineer knew must be inefficient and uneconomical. If all the engineers had a keen sense of their duty in this respect, and would properly utilize their experience and ability through the daily press and magazines, by public discussions and in the daily inter- course of life, as well as by impressing the truth upon our representatives in municipal and national affairs, we should certainly accomplish an immense amount of good. Truly, the training of the young to the skill of the hand, to accuracy of Vision, to the high physical developments, to scientific'knowl- edge and accurate reasoning, and applied patriotism is the best and cheapest defense of the nations. The engineer has brought about this seventh epoch in the progress of the human race, the era of manufactured power, but we should go back three hundred years to Lord Baeon. It was Baeon,s purpose to teach man to gain command over 218 nature and he taught this ceuld be on the truth and then following it. An cance of the engineer, as an ethiea Q; truth and live by it.

The true purpose and value of engineering activity lies in providing better and easier ways for satisfying ordinary human needs. This provides more leisure and opens new possibilities f0,- 3 higher spiritual and intellectual development of human- ity. It also adds to the charm of life That Which gives it zest and meaningy is to do useful work for our time, our place and generation, to give more than we receive, to place usefulness ahead of emolument7 to push the world a little inch up hill, and to plant a fiower in everybodyk garden but our own. The engineefs personal satisfaction consists in knowing this high purpose of his vocation, and in giving his service at a maximum efficiency. The other compensation is a result and not the purpose. SENIOR CLASS DAY ORATION. 219 ENGINEERS PROPHECY CLARENCE E. SMALLEY. ,. WENTY years had rolled by, as the magic wand of Mother Prophecy waved before me. The present I came to me as dim memories of the past are wont Iignii t0 intrude upon QDeIs thots While he sits, lazily V dreaming of days gone by. I saw myself, a weary pilgrim, toiling along a dusty and winding way. Backward I gazed 011 miles of hard and stony barriers Which had mocked at my ambition and torn and bruised my feet as I struggled 0n 1ife7s journey. Here and there a bright spot, decorated With all the beauty that nature possesses, had aided and rested me until renewed strength again bore 'me on toward the land Where Opportunity sits on his high throne and deals out success to the brothers, Diligence, Hard-work and Ambition. At last I could gaze ahead on the beauty and grandeur of the place so long sought. As I looked out on the great land of promise and reward, I saw a broad screen upon Which was thrown the life-pietures of mortals Who had dreamed great dreams and worked them into life.' To this great screen, as a center, the paths of mortals seemed to focus, as the spokes of a wheel to its hub. Some paths were broken beyond re- pair ere they reached the goal. Others ran straight and true, until they merged, With others, into the great, clear centere Success.

Next to meet my gaze, was a broad expanse of cultivated land, in the midst of which stood large farm buildings. The greatest care had been taken in laying out the fields and gar- dens. Large engines pulled the machinery over the fertile acres and drainage ditches and irrigation pipes regulated eve erywhere the amount of water, such that the most ideal con, ditions prevailed. A knowledge of agricultural engineering had been applied in every detail. Suddenly, along a by-path came six small boys, between the ages of two and ten years7 who were apparently asking their father, George Griberson, for niekels. George still retained his old-time good nature and, as he gazed out over his pos- sessions felt so good that he Hloosened upH and the satisfied children ran away to spend their plunder. Again the scene changed, and a large office building in New York appeared on the screen. Above the door I read7 HFormah and Grube, Consulting Engineerngaih-oad Work a Specialtyfi At six a. 111., as sliown by the city clock, an auto rushed, at no small speed, to the front of the building and Louis leaped out and dashed to his work, for already, he was late.

A smiling wife and two bright-eyed children hear- ing a joyous greeting7 helped him forget the cares of his stren- uous life. Louis, being a steady 01d bachelor, remained at his tiesk until six, when he left for his apartments and ice box, 221 prepared to eat and drink with one of his numerous lady friends. A scene in the far land of Siberia took its place upon the screen. Great numbers of workmen were hurrying t0 and fro and all seemed excited over something about to take place Watching closely, I observed three distinguished men ape preaching and conversing earnestly among themselves, as they walked about, inspecting the work. They drew nearer and I recognized my eid classmates, Bungshe7 Malinovsky and Skalandzium. It appeared that Siberia had become a free country and had taken its place among the nations as a great republic. The members of the hrm of Bungshe, Malinovsky and Skalandzium had been engaged by the Gevernment to de- sign and construct all the state buildings and make a specialty of concrete and fireproof structures. Wilmer and Lachoff were field engineers for the above firm and their efficiency and trustworthiness had gained them great favor with the Government. In a Wild scene, amid the sandy hills and cactus bushes 0f the Southwest, I recognized Lamotte and Mason. They were in charge of the construction of great irrigation ditches that were fast advancing over the desert-like waste and turning it into immense tracts of arable land. Lamotte and Mason lived with their wives and families in small cottages, which, as the work progressed, were moved from place to place by a huge aeroplane. Lamotte had taken to wearing Mexican costumes that. were quite in keeping with his swarthy complexion. His family consisted of three little girls, who were ever a source of pleasure and amusement during his leisure hours. Mason had grown into a tall and distinguished man, with broad shoulders and a heavy voice that made a deep impression on the Mexican peons when he called his orders to them over a mile of alkali. , Soon the pictures of the campus and buildings of the State University of Missouri were thrown upon the screen. To my great surprise I saw a youth of about fifteen years of age and nearly six and a half feet tall, leave the Civil Engi- neering building and stride down the avenue in a manner which immediately reminded me of my old friend Newhart. Upon reaching the down-town district he paused and entered a building above which appeared NNewhart and Campbell, Structural EngineerseConerete Work a SpeeialtyW The boy stepped up to a desk, at which sat a distinguished-looking gentleman that I immediately recognized as Newhart and father of the tall youth. From the pictures I gathered that Newhart was a pro- fessor of Civil Engineering in the University and had also formed a partnership with Campbell, who had become famous as an erecting engineer. From all appearances Campbell had' been too busy to be married and had turned his mind from such trivial affairs of life to those of greater moment. Now appeared a scene in one of Bostonls fashionable residences, and as I gazed thru the windows at. the beautifully decorated rooms and tables heaped high with Hlute fiskf Hjul skinkall and other fine dishes that only the Swedish peo- ple know how to prepare, among the merry-makers I saw Carl- son with a tow-headed boy on either knee. He seemed to be trying to get the boys to say something bright or perhaps he was telling them that in speaking good English the ttrl7 must always be omitted. The office of ttCarter and Carlson, Structural EngineersW 222 appeared on one of the main business str much sought by those who desired the Carter took his daily drive thru the child and seemed happy and contented n his earnest efforts. In a South American city where gr sented itself to those who had the forti a their best, I saw the ohices and terminal In the private office sat Crosland in Krull, Ebert and Flux. Just outside the: who seemed to be awaiting the result of 7' he was summonedlby those within and. entered into by means of which all the America were consolidated. These five trol of all the lines and were recognized road men in the country. Imagine my surprise and pleasure whe the screen, the pictures of our old Unive larger and having now, among its sever l. spacious Engineering Hall. Just entering noticed a familiar form that I at once reg ttChieoll was accompanied by -his son, whom Professor Yeoman and had registered in the course. Chico left written instructions th posed to study at least one evening each we as often as convenient. Doubtless he reme Chico had become wealthy thru caref i and had entered polities, where he bid fair to:- in Costa Rica. . I was somewhat startled when I saw a m being performed and recognized Charlie Weed just entering into that State of supreme bliss that would lead Charles to live happily ever after. It seemed that he had been too busy with his architectural engineering to stop work and be united with the maiden Who had waited so long and faithfully. His friend Ehrenrich congratulated him upon at last gaining the greatest reward Which mere man may receive. Ehrenriehts success as a highway engineer was readily explained when I saw his beautiful home and happy family. tgLeland rand McQuiston, Designers and Contractorse Electrical Wiring a SpecialtyW Thus they advertised above their office door. Inside, seated at a large drafting table, worke ed h'Macilt As the prespiration dropped from his brow he turned and spoke to Leland who was designing a Wiringeboard for VVheeleris central office. I guessed from Mach facial eX- pression, that he must be sorry that he had graduated so soon and thus fallen into such hard work. In a rear room was Studenroth, who had given up paintw ing and decorating and was now working for his old classmates. He had covered an immense sheet of paper with calculus com- putation and it appeared to me that he was trying to discover whether or not a cypress beam has a moment of inertia. As the film was nearing its end I saw Sohaub, just re- ceiving his diploma from a German university. After his name were written great degrees that would make a cometis tail look sick, but still he seemed sad and discontented. Benton had graduated from all the leading universities of the world and now looked about for other things to conquer. Pictures of the Knox sewer hitted by and to my surprise Maxwell was still on the job. He was accompanied by Hoffer- 223 man who was explaining to him that something must be wrong, because he considered the job was taking too much time. The sign HHof'ferman and Maxwell7 Efficiency Engineersli attract- ed my attention and as I looked thru the window I saw large stacks of letters that had come in from firms who wished these men to inspect their plants. In Knoxls residental district stood a cozy little cottage, where Moxie and wife summered while Moxie inspected the sewer. Hofferman lived in Chicago with his family and man aged the main ofice of the firm. He seemed to have a great deal of leisure time and spent much of it in writing to scien- tihc magazines, giving technical explanations for many 0f the perplexing questions of the day. At last the reel was done and Weariness having left me7 I roused myself and shook off the spirit of prophecy that so long had held me fast. In my hand is still the letter from R. C. Yeoman, stating that he and his are well and happy. His daughter is in an Eastern college and his two sons are in the Valparaiso high school. The Prof. lives, I learn, in a beautiful terra cotta, veneer mansion. The columns are of concrete, reinforced with spiral hooping and 1V2 inch vertical rods, and the beams are all of 1-24, with five halfeineh rods and W8 inch stirrups. . So we have heard of the future of the 1913 class of Vala paraiso Engineers, The field is good and a bright. future lies before us. Our past has been pleasant, but the experiences to come are to be richer. We will live long and well, we will die 110ny at our work, but stillewe will be classmates. OUR SENIOR YEAR L. ELMER MASON. Year ClSl. find that along with our work we have enjoyed quite a number of good times together. Our first social meeting was a strictly stag af- fair, with cider and doughnuts helping along the enthusiasm. Perez distinguished himself with his Violin play- ing and also by succeeding in falling up the steps on his Way to the platform and then falling down on the return trip. It was here that the new men became a part of the older circle and began the social side of their college life. I The first meeting was such a success that veryisoon a. demand arose for another similar affair. A short program was arranged and Perez still managed to stay in the limelight, by giving an exceedingly touching and picturesque repre- sentation of the llSpanishl, with Jiminez as his dancing part- ner. It was surprisingly graceful considering that the Span- ish maiden would tip the scaleswat about two hundred pounds, the result was disastrous however as all the fellows wanted to dance, so that the program had' to be postponed while the couples enjoyed a few waltzes. ' , Our first inspection trip was the next thing in order. The American Bridge Company and the Illinois Steel Company were visited at Gary. The trip was one of the most interest- 224 ing which the class made, both plants being coveredf oughly as time would permit. The Y- M. C. A. Was: open to us and quite a number availed themselves off portunity to enjoy the swimming pool. A trip was next made to Chicago and due to t planning offour dean, we were able to use the entire good advantage. Among other things Marshall Fiel and the Chicago Freight Tunnel were Visited, while th yards and slaughter house of Armour and Company . speeted later. The afternoon Was spent in the freight. from which side trips were made to various signal tOW-e; other parts of the system. The fello'ws spent the av the theatre, HBen Huril being the play selected. we now come to our first appearance in athletics, n the class foot ball game. The Juniors succeeded in . although their team was the lighter. After the gam took good care that everyone knew of their victory.- Juniors always Were a noisy crowd. ' e Our third inspection trip was next in order. Thisi the Rumely plant at LaPorte being Visited. Here the 9? series of steps in the manufacturing of gas and gasoli gines were seen, and a study made of the diferent types styles of machines Our class banquet came next in order and the fellows made the most of the opportunity to bring the ladies around and get acquainted. Speeches were given by several of the alumni and members of the class. 111 baseball and track the Engineers again showed their athletic ability. In the former, Manager Thomas suce ceeded in developing a team, which won the pennant. The track meet was almost a walk-away for us, the outcome being evident almost from the beginning. Our last inspection trip was made to Chicago and included a launch excursion down the Chicago Drainage Canal, particu- lar attention being given to bridge and building construction. The day was ended as before with a theatre party. And now our school year is almost over, class day and graduation alone remain. In later years When our thoughts turn back to college days, may this short review of our last year, tend to recall to us the memories of the 01d engineering crowd and the hours we have spent together in Valparaiso. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT LOUIS S. FORMAN. i , u E THE 1918 Senior C.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two Witnesses this second day of August, 1913. Witnesses: Prof. R. C. Yeoman, Prof. E. A. Tucker LOUIS S. FORMAX 227 PsALMs ON YEOMAN ROLAND E. ANTHONY, C. E413. Chapt. N. ND it came to pass in the era of the supremacy of i i the University of Valparaiso, in the year of our Lord 1909, that there came unto a small town in Indiana, that is called by the name Valparaiso, a young man, who had a bald head that contained much of this worldls learning. 2. Now it soon became known to all, and the news was spread broadcast throughout the countryside, that it would henceforth be the duty of this man to labor among the youth in that University, going about and teaching them a new branch of learning, that is called engineering. 3. And straightway there was rejoicing in those Halls of Learning, and all the people did clap their hands with joy, and in a loud voice, and as one man, cried: Hail! There cometh to us a new king and he shall reign with wisdom and peace. L 4. And it was that this great manis candle was not put under a bushel, but on a candlestick, so that it gave light unto all that were in the house. 5. For the manls name was Yeoman and he was from the town of hard Knox. 6. Notwithstanding he had never filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat; but was one of those which are sown on good ground, who, seeing, perceive and hearing, un- derstand. 1 7. And the evening and the morning were the first year. Chapt. tN-l-ll 1. Then began the man in the second year of his reign, 228 to change that which was old and to se' were new and strange to the people of . 2. And they questioned in their 7. manner of man is this that comes toils t and does go about to Overthrow the W0. . 3. Thereupon, Yeoman, perceiving 1f the people7 said unto them: Lo I am cs but to build up, for verily I say unto yo blades of grass to stand where, before, 0 is the greatest of all engineers. 4. They were amazed, they answerer ' off speaking. 5. And the evening and the mo year. Chapt. tN and 20 ' 1. Now it came to pass in the next second year after the coming of the king , this man grew lonesome among those of; sought much the company, no longer of t t sees, but of the kind that are of purer w those who are called women. 2. And a maiden was, of name Gert as the morning and whose countenance many dew drops under the radiance of the 3. So Yeoman sought this woman for a v er of his household and a partner in his con sented. 4. But when the day came when the b. unto himself his bride7 behold there was no guest but those that were of the two households, so the marriage was in peace. 5, Now there arosevin the City that is called Valparaiso, a great celebration and noise, and the people went about the streets and did shout forth college yells, and carry signs. 6. On the signs were these words, written in plain Eng- lish, that all' might read: Just married. 7. Moreover, there was a cart of ages that had long be- fore passed away and it was without an ass, but two strong engineers did pull it7 and it was adorned with many things, even bottles, rags, shoes and cans that were of tin. 8. Now it came to pass that Yeoman and the bride were placed in the cart when they did step from the train at the depot and there was a great march and much noise, even more noise than music. 9. And when they were come to the household of Yeo- man, the two were taken inside and all the roughneeks did follow. 10. And there was much said and eaten, the more was eaten than said; but even as the clock of the city struck twelve, all did go to their beds, for great was their respect for early hours. 11. And the evening and the morning were the third year. Chapt, tN+3l 1. In the days of the third year after the coming of the engineers there was much rejoicing among them, for7 as was done in the year 1910, they won the Interclass Base Ball chame pionship. 2. So it came to pass that they were recognized over all the land and among all the people, for they had become a 229 strong college of strong men, and honored was their leader, the married man-Yeoman. 3. And Yeoman was now Dean 4. And the evening and the morning were the fourth year. Chapt. tN+4l 1. But in this year came a greater class of the engineers. 2. And they did work hard and spent much of their time with the maidens that are called coeds. that they might have not only brains for design; but wit, and humor, and polish, and name. 3. And they did win two banners for proving themselves to be the base ball champions and one took them in the Track Meet and their fame became widespread and great. 4. A banquet did they have and several smokers and they became men of society and sport, even to excellence. 5. But a great event, greater than all of these, was of this year. 6. A new engineer7 an engineer of men and greatest of all the college, was born, and she was daughter of Dad Yeoman. 7. Her voice was as the rippling 0f the brooks in June and at first, her hair was as the Valparaiso snowbanks in J uly. 8. Moreover, Yeoman was often late in those days, for morning classes, for little was his sleep at night. 9. But the class of the year was patient and Yeoman was patient with the class, giving them advice for use when they should be married menesomedayeand all were well and happy- ' 10. And now may the words of our recitations and the meditations of our troubled intelleets, be acceptable in thy sight, 0 Yeoman, our professor and our dean. HISTORY OF SENIOR ENGINEERING CLASS JESSE R. GRUBE. A :1 ETWEEN thoughts of regret and 0f hopeful antici- pation we pause to cast a brief retrospect of this, our last year in college. It is with a feeling min- gled with joy and sadness, that this account is writ- ten. The Engineering class is nearing the end of the life at Valparaiso and barely do the members realize this, not because they have not been active while here, but because the thought, the sad thought, dear reader; of parting is al- way preferred to be placed in the future, it matters not how near that event may be. leave the field of college activities for a larger field-the wide, wide world. We do not expect to conquer the world during the first year,ealas, the gift of prophecy is not ours to display. What prospects have we in the world? We would refer you to what the Engineers have done and then let youY judge for yourself. Looking back over our Career,-We find a record of which we can feel justly proud. Our Second Annual Banquet of the Civil Engineering Society, held Saturday evening, April 19, 1913, was so well gotten up; so well managed thrqughout, that all who attended will gladly remember it as one of the most pleasant incidents of our college life.

But all things must have an end, so we prepare to leave, With hearts brimming over with love and loyalty to the De- partment of Engineering and to the University that have done so much for us. Now With hearts full of sadness and hearts full of hope for the Departmentst future achievements hto you of the lower classes, to the faculty, and to you dear reader, we bid farewell. 231 THE ENGINEERFROM KANSAS ROLAND E.

Valparaiso University 3 years ago, becus he wus alridy goinl on 24 years old any hadent never had no learning sence he quit the skule we built over to Rattlert Neck. He wus allers best speller in the class an Miss Simpson giv once a dollar fur bein on top 0 his rithmetie clas in ex- aminashun so we reckoned wed heV our sun go ther to Val- paraiso an study some mor sos hed be abel to run the farm someday bettern his dad ever done. Wall, 8 years has went by senee Jim went to college an he come back hum the other nite an begosh yo outo seen him. He sed he hed wore out 111 a elas rush them gud pants Mandy made him afore he left out 0 an old pair 0 mine an the old dress 0 Mandyls we bought at the White Horse. He sez a elas rush is hn thing but wen he told us all about how they. bust up the feller,s heads and cover ?em with paint, I sez to Mandy sez I, its moruva a bull fite without the bull part 0 it than enything as I ever heard on. An J im was sayin that furst nite after he cum home again, how they went down town one nite an just raised the very old harry an the cops shot their guns at em an coudnt hit event a 232 brick wall aerost. the street. The students smashed up lib lites in the town an busted the windows outen the jail an d lots else, even got pinched, which wus worse than all the things they done by a darn site, becus it lasted longer. an me an Manoly7 we all set up to 10 olcloek 1 nite listen . the dope Jim handed us on college days an nites, but moat;b motised, wus on the nites.

We was sory he could not stay here an be on the farm but I suppose he has learned the way 0 college an has to wurk now With college men in big sities. He is a gud boy but never would a been so smart if he hadenta went to college.

The interest was not always as keen as it should have been owing to the tendency on the part of the students to drop out after a few weeks work. The Y. M. C. A. Base Ball team was reorganized at the opening of the Summer term, for the first time since 1908. Much interest has been manifested in it. The University Lecture Course was staged under the 311s pices of the Y. M. C. A. last, Winter, as has been the custom for several years. The course consisted of four numbers: Dr. Harvey Wiley, The Four Artists, The Ethiopian Serenaders and The Raweis. The attendance was the largest that such a course has ever enjoyedt The regular week end meetings have been held throughout the year. They have been addressed by men of prominence from Chicago and elsewhere, such as J udge McKenzie Cleland, Frank Ht Burt, 4Dr. Geo. F. Butler, Rev. 0. M. Caward, Rev. Myron E. Adams, Abraham Bowers, Congressman Ed. Crum- packer, Harry F. Ward, R0110 McBride, and others. An Employment Bureau, established at the opening of the school year, has enabled over 400 different mean to secure odd jobs on Saturdays. During the entire year the membership has been a little more than 650. The general spirit of fraternity and good fellowship has been of the best Taken all in all the Associa- tion has had a very successful and encouraging year. The lack of adequate equipment is a severe handicap to the larger usefulness of the organizatioin. It is hoped that within a,few years a large and commodious Men,s Building can be erected, combining dormitory facilities, gymnasium, and Y. M. C. A. privileges. VALPARAISO ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONS HE New York Alumni Association of Valparaiso University announced itself openly and publicly, eloquently and unefully, and also gastronomieally at a banquet a the Great Northern Hotel, New York City, Saturday evening, the seventeenth of May, 1918. It announced, furthermore, its purposes as an association, declared that i stood for the democracy that is he unwritten motto of the Alma Mater of its members, and came frankly out in the open as ttEXhibit AW in the Eastern states, to show What sort of work and material the University of Valparaiso was sponsor or. That the announcement was discreet, Without vanity7 ale together in good taste and nevertheless emphatic, may not be gainsaid for the whole program proceeded directly before both eyes of the guest of honor 0 the evening, Oliver Perry Kinsey, Vice-President of the University. What Professor Kinsey does not know about a banque and its functions, especially an alumni banquet, is as yet not known to anyone While ViceePresident Xinseyts journey East for the es- pecial purpose of attending the banquet gave distinction to the affair, the great work of organization and arrangement fell to William Bohleber, Edgar M. Barber, Mrs. Herbert A. Brown, Mrs. Edith Wagoner, Horace G. Healey, Mrs. William A. Dilw lon tLuella. Parkert, and Roy Beeman, and last but decidedly not least, William Manger who learned how to do it from spe cial studies in East Hall and now owns five hotels in New York KM 239 City and in Chicago. The Great Northern is one of these. The banqueters declared themselves particularly happy in the presence of Helen Axe Brown, President Brownts daughter, Whose splendid soprano voice caused tumultuous cries of NEn- eore7, to which the artist graciously responded seven times. It was more exhilarating than champagne and far more lasting as a joyous memory. Another feature that went right to the hearts of the old boys and always young girls was the original poem by Mrs. William A. Dillon, which received a tribute not of applause only but at times of tears as well, so vividly did she bring Hthe dear old days77 to mind. After messages of congratulation had been read from President Brown, Mrs. Brown, and others Who regretted they could not be present, there were speeCheS by S. S. McClure of McClurek Magazine, Mrs. Daniel D. Feldman, John W. Carr, Walter Taleott, Mrs William Coleman, William Manger,Horaee G. Healey, Mrs. Herbert A. Brown, Ray Beeman, William Bohleber7 and Oliver Perry Kinsey who stood up five minutes before he could make a beginning. He had come nine hundred miles to talk to the New York Alumni7 however, and he made it apparent that they could not howl him down. When the audience realized this each one became as quiet as a mouse for forty-five minutes except when it was necessary to yell in order not to burst. N From time to time amongst the speeches the clear tenor voice of Frank H. Ormsby gave charming variation and when the evening had become morning no one had to assure anyone, as the farewells were said, that the inauguration ceremonies had been successful. The fact was too apparent to need eX- pression in mere words, while all hearts were full of the glad thought. As ttValpoii folk in New York City were getting ready for banquet number one, the Valparaiso Alumni of Chicago gath- ered at. the Congress Hotel and had banquet number twenty, thereby showing, as the dwellers in the modest hamlet by the Lake declare, how Chicago stands as regards progress, in rela- tion to New York. President N. L. Piotrowskiejust home from Washington, D. 0., Where he had explained to William Howard Taft what was the correct method of procedure as to emigration matters and had been pitted against another Valparaiso graduate, Caleb Powersewas master of ceremonies and with Vice-President Kinsey on his right was serene and in absolute control. ttValpoT artists and orators assisted him with enthusiasngi throughout the evening. The first of these was Miss 'Gertrude'e Horn with delightful piano selections, then Professor J ohn D4. Shoop 0n ttThe New Educational IdealT; the Hon. Orrin N. H Carter on itCiviesii; Mrs. Myer E. Emrieh with a wonderful? vocal solo, Polonaise from ttMignonii; an address, on ttColei legesii by Hon. Marcus Kavanagh; Marvin V. Hinshaw With' ttThe Charge of the Light Brigadeti and tiDaddyii; Lillian. Cox with TA Resume of Two Decadesit; and Professer E. Lf Roberts Whom the banqueters called on again and again for. songs. The Pennsylvania Alumni stepped up into line in this lucky year of iThirteen, too, and honored McKeesport with their presence Tuesday evening the twenty-second day of April., AmOIig those absent on this auspicious occasion was Professor: Timmons whose portrait adorns another page of this historic i volume. 240 LUELLA-PARKER I HLLON . tUT in the Middle West, From the vineyards of Ohio Game a hero of the land; The pioneer of Valpo The first of that brave band Not as a conqueror came he, To that vale of paradise; But as a humble server Of the youth of the country side. He ushered forth n0 heralds, N0 boasting of his plans; But he set to work in earnest As becomes a valiant man. And as little drops of water And little grains of sand; Make the mighty ocean And the pleasant land. VALPO In the land of wheat and corn; In the year of our Lord 1873 A mighty thought was born. 241 So little acts of heroism And little days of pain; Brought forth a mighty college From out that marvelous brain. A school room and a chapel And a little college. too; Was the first modest outcome Of What he planned to do. He gathered in some pupils, He worked by day and night; The gain was made by inches, A battle for the right. And the people of the valley Listened to his call ; They came in goodly numbers So eager were they all. He had pity on the multitude And a miracle he wrought; To satisfy each longing And 1311 each ardent thought. He summoned forth a helper, Of equal power and life ; And hand in hand they ,Ve battled In the thickest 0f the strife. They gave to Valparaiso What no other men could do; A wondrous institution, With departments 01d and new. A kindly smile and welcome A twinkle of, the eye; Put at ease each freshman So awkward and so shy. The poor and needy student Who hungered for book lore; Found here a wondrous banquet From an Aladdin store. The student force of thirty-five, To thousands now has grown; Such a catalog of workings Never yet was known. A11 needs of education, Herein have found a home; The early humble college To a university has grown. 242 Here all men are equal There are no rich nor poor; Each stands on his own merit, And the work he can endure. And the State of Indiana Has no son of greater fame; Than the one we now here honor , Just Mr. Brown by name. In our heart of hearts We rise and call him blest; With all that ,s human in our love Just to do the rest. And our dear guests of honor, If you could only know-e The reverence and gratitude That in our hearts d0 iiow. How we do joy to welcome you, With our sincerest love; And mark this as a gala day Sent to us from above. We want to hear of old times Upon this precious night; 0f Flint lake and Sagefs Where the sunshine seemed so bright, We want to speak of East Hall, And the mighty student throng; That gather there at meal time Invited by the gong. The chapel exercises Weld just like to recall; And weld love to hear the harmonies, That came from Music Hall. And. welll wander in the office And in memory hang around; To gaze at Mr. Kinsey And the busy Mr. Brown. And well edge a little over Near to the tiny gate; To see if we can draw a smile From the ever faithful Kate. And weld just like to Visit Some classes by the way; To see if they7re conducted As they were in our day. With reverent mien and happy Mrs. Kinsey we would greet; Thinking of the olden days And her gentle spirit sweet. 243 Weld like to greet Miss Baldwin And bask in her rare smile; And feel that she remembers Thol tie a long, long while. Weld .joy to hear the Roesslers In their little German band; And grip the dear professor With his generous honest hand. To hear, too, if Miss Porter Is custodian of the books; To ascertain if whispering Still goes on in nooks. To see if Miss MacAllily, 1s patient still and sweet; As grammar t0 the freshman She doles as mental meat. Is the learned Mr. Carver Giving out the classics still; Making rich the dryest subject, Elen against a student7s Will. Are the students still debating As before a judgels bar? Settling all the weighty questions As did Crescent and Star? Our sweetest memories linger Oter Mr. Bogartets name; A fearless, tireless leader Unto the halls of fame. Oh, tender are our beating hearts, For the departed years; We bless them With our thought And stamp them With our tears We Cherish deepest gratitude, T0 Valp0,s help in life; The strength we got to battle, In the highways of strife. And may NEW YORICS Alumni Stand first in all the line ; That owes to Va1p07s teachers A gratitude divine. 44 I ' WW Mime 1, 1m? 1 1i, fl , EM . LU J I PAUL-MATHER.

V A most successful seasons in the history of the league. i 31 , , 1 The siX game schedule was highly satisfactory to ULAJ t1 all concerned as it gave each team an equal chance T if in the pennant race. The opening games were somewhat delayed by unfavor- able weather which did not a116w;mueh practice, but when the race started it was exciting to the 6nish. The Lawyers start- ed strong, winning their jirst two games, but inability to con- nect with the ball and loose fielding made them relinquish their position of honor to the champions. The Engineers got a bad start, but with Stoddard in the box and the hard hitting bunch behind him, they were lead- ing the league at the close of the season. The Scientifics who looked strongest at beginning of the season were weak in the outfield and in batting, also they took the prize for bonehead base running, but were dangerous z. 6f competitors until the last. For the Scientifics Padgett pitched gilt edge ball most of the time. The Pharmic-Medic team was handicapped by the lack of a pitching staff. All of their pitchers blew up the first of the season and did not round into form until it was too late. Walterhouse 0f the Engineers won the individual batting honors of the season, batting .667 in the six games. The final standing of the clubs was: W. L. Per Cent.

The Lawyers have been replaced by the Y. M. C. A. team and the Pharmie-Medids by the O. P. KYs. v A . K . A 7 THE TRACK MEET EDWIN DAWSON, Field Manager. ' HE twenty-third day of May, nineteen and thirteen, - marks an epoch in our school activities, second only to the founding of the great institution whose I 3 branches of learning have extended to the remotest parts of the earth. For upon that day was the beginning of a college social activity, which had been hereto- fore sadly neglected in our school, namely7 proper athletics. The development of athletics for college students in this country during the past few years has been quite notable. Old foundations like De Pauw and Notre Dame have made remark- able advances along these lines7 and through the efforts of those interested they have gained in material and educational resources. These results have been accomplished by elear-headed masters dealing with large bodies of the alumnae and from other sources; and we are glad to say that the NOld Gold and Brownil of Valparaiso University has made its start and fallen into line with these other institutions of learning which have stood out as iibeaeon lightsH to their students on their pil- grimage of intellect. . The head of this institution has undoubtedly given the stu- dents of this University a great opportunity to develop them- selves not only physically, but also to develop the spirit of 251 AC leadership andnnseliish devotion to purpose. In this course of development, the whole student body is to be the purpose, instead of the few as is the custom in other Universities. The aim is to give every man a fair chance and to make him a clean, energetic and self-eontrolled man of character: To make this possible the athletics have been confined to the classes of this University, thus making our athletics inter- elassic. 1 Our equipment at present has not equalled the standard necessary for a well equipped track meet, however, we did very well in the field meet held at the Valparaiso Race Track. Our facilities will be greatly increased next year. A new track is to be made in the University Ball Park and all the conven- iences adaptable to a modern track meet are to be installed. And it is the desire of every member of the track team of nineteen thirteen that those who are to follow will take advan- tage of the excellent opportunities provided for them by the head of this great institution.
