Dean Classic Depgrtment x in' . THE 15151; EDREI l :5 HE Classical Department was organized in the eighth year of the University. As stated in the catalogue of the school at the time, its purpose was to bring within the reach of young people those matters and things and views of life that have always been neces sary for the truest efficiency in work and the highest enjoyment of good things of life. It has never aimed to make scholars. of its members, t to put them in the way of making scholars of themselves so far as capacity opportunity make that desirable. It has insisted upon the necessity of Hrying 0n the work begun here, of keeping up the intellectual life and the grmation 0f habits of Wide reading. It has placed emphasis on the value of ogic, Grammar, and Rhetoric as aids in reading. While not claiming for erature anything more than it most willingly grants to Science and the raetical arts, it has always-claimed for Literature an equal importance in the ' mation of any high type of manhood and womanhood for one Whotries t0 ' , ke his world a home and not a den. I think this summarizes completely What the department has alweys ed at. . H. N. CARVER. 19 t ,,, ,, , THE. EEEDREI I . W Va CHAS. F. MUELLER, Belleville, Illinois A' young man, industrious, ambitious and progressive, Whose strong personality and convincing attitude assure us of the conspicue ous place that he is destined to fill. His love and admiration for oratory, his conviction of the importance of political philosophy and his intense eagerness for legal learning Will later place him in the ranks of the renowned Where the Class Will be glad to look upon him With profound respect and deserving veneration. VIRGINIA SMITH-REYNOLDS, Troy, Tennessee Proud indeed is the Class to have among its members this woman With an intellect that distinguishes her from the others of her kind. At first distaht she is like a iiower far away in the summits of a mountain which seems too high for any one to reach. However, on learn- ing to know this wondrous ttiiower one finds all the attributes of a beautiful character. A. GILBERTH DAVIS, Foreman, Arkansas To enjoy the acquaintance of this gentle- man is an honor and an inspiration. He is a student and a thinker Wherever he be found. His personal acquaintance is wide and his intentions of the best. His judgment is'un- impassioned and unprejudiced. He has an in- genuous detestation of falsehood, hypocrisy and self-assertion. All these constitute a man of magnetic power. And in time to come he will be among the stars of first magnitude in the traffic and industrial world. T f f THE 1;; cum: 1 A. V. JONES, Fowlkes, Tennessee A strong-minded and energetic student who is an authority on things Grecian and Roman. His keen insight into the work of the Class, strengthened by his subtle humor and unique philosophy incites the awe and com- mands the respect of all Who know him. Ex- pects to study law at some reputable institu- tion and eventually enter public life. H. L. NOLAN, S0. Weymouth, Massachusetts A worker always. Active in all Class matters, and long Assistant Editor of the Torch. Here also is a man Whose Very re- serve makes him the more popular, and if an energetic spirit and an earnest intention are elements of success, Nolan will certainly suc- ceed. R. W. GRUMBINE, Freeport, Illinois Here is a man, slightly dignified and re- served, yet a. student Whose gentle personality has endeared him to all members of the Class. He is a student of whom we are justly proud, and his industrious habits and generous, un- selfish ambition are sure to win for him the m fame he so richly deserves. 21 t I 7 THE EEC EIREI l iiAD ASTRA PER ASPERA.

Adver- sity calls forth the dormant powers, the talents which under prosperous cir- cumstances would have been lost to the world. Difficulties unfold the pro- foundest emotions that cause the bards to sing. Impediments incite men to hnd new ways by which man can help his fellowman. 1f Ancient Greece with all her pathos and glory were living, where could her stirring chorus find a more illustrative example than in Lincoln to chant at once his life and death and career as the prelude and epilogue of the most imperial theme of modern times? Born as lowly as the Son of God, he made the diplomatic Seward, the judicial Chase and the Violent Sumner stand aside, while his strange figure was brought to the front by unseen hands and given the reins of power. No, no one can develop into a. noble man or women without the education that comes from the struggling to overcome difficulties. A determined man is not to be kept from success. If you place ttstumbling-bloeks77 in his way, he will use them as stepping-stones and on them will climb to greatness. Rob him of his purse and he will write the HWaverly Novels.H Lock him in a dungeon and he will compose the immortal HPilgrims Progressfi Put him in a cradle in an American wilderness, and in a few years, you will find him in the Capitol at the head of the greatest nation of the globe. itOur greatest gloryf said Goldsmith, tiis not in never falling, but in rising every time we fallfl Men who are men and women who are women will, after a fall, rise with old-time audacity and with greater strength than ever before.

And the first duty incumbent on us is to be just unto ourselves and to know our- selves. To know oneself is to succeed.

From among the rock-ribbed hills of New Hampshire sprang the most stately of American orators and statesmen, Daniel Webster. From among the crowded ranks of toil, from the homes to which luxury is a stranger have often come the leaders and benefactors of our race. Our Savior came from such a poor and despised home that men doubted that he really was the Christ. The immortal Homer was a blind beggar; ZEsop was a slave and Linnaeus the great naturalist was so poor that he almost starved. Demosthenes transformed his weak voice into a voice that shook the gigantic columns of Athens and moved the hearts of men. NEloquence must have been born with youf, said a friend of J. P.

So do clouds overshadow our lives in order that we may discover and bring to light the higher and finer qualities that otherwise might sleep forever in darkness. 24 SCRAPS. VIRGINIA SMITH-REYNOLDS. What time is there so sadly sweet, When hearts with joy arid sorrow beatz As this day we bid a farewell To places and faces too dear to tell? Farewell to these, that we may go Where mystic voices call us 10w, To play a part on life,s great stage, To bless, 0r blight through every age. As a mighty oak gives its leaves, And Mother Earth the yield receives From zephyrus wind in last call Rejoicing still at one and all. So Valparaiso sends us forth To the bright land that gave us birth, At the summons for the ,16 Class, Oh may We bring worth as we pass. The future we do not know, - But the steps that lead from below Are the present. . We need not fear, If they are strong, wetll mount the stair. Sublimest thought go unexpressed, Though many a tongue do its best, Down in our souls there lies too deep Fore mortal eyes a watch to keep. N ow as we leave this much loved door, If back to come, or nevermore; We promise to her sacred fame, To live ever true to her name. 25 THE REEDRTJ ISIS 26 FIG I IEIE 7 2 THE REEDR l ENGINEER RAY C. YEOMAN, C. E.- Dean of Engineering Department 28 HE Engineering Department of Valparaiso University has in the Pl 'past seven years experienced an unparalleled growth. It has been raised from a course in Surveying to a full Civil Engineering 1 Course and a thoroughly equipped and up-to-date Architectural Department added. Equipment, sufficient for the purposes of quate instructionz has been installed. The enrollment grew rapidly from 300 in the past six years. During the past year, due to industrial conditions, a great many have 0 take up Engineering work and earn money while wages are high so they can come back to school. The attendance has fallen off fully 50 Cent. This has been true not only of Valparaiso University but is i rally true of all the Universities throughout the country.. . ' Since the reorganization of the school it is eonhdently expected that :1 engineering building will be coming in a short time and we will add our curriculum Electrical, Mechanical and Chemical. Engineering. Being the heart of the industrial district of America the opportunities in these branches are evident. , Next year a new system of teaching surveying subjects will be installed includes an engineering camp. This is the method now in use by modern Universities. The students will be in camp for six weeks during dsummer and experience the activities of real out-door life. The department expects to enter on a new era of expansion as soon as aw equipment is installed which will be unexeelled anywhere in the coun- Theireputation 'of the graduates has placed the department on a par i.

THAYER. lE ARE standing now as graduates upon the threshold of a new life with the end of our school life in sight and when the hnal exer- cises are over we will find ourselves about to step out and take our places in the professional world. The end for which we have been striving since early childhood is now at hand and our long 0d of school life will soon be a thing of the past. With the end of our ege work should not come the feeling that our education is completed. ie are rather approaching a new phase of our education where we are ?lleiwn upon our own resources with no watchful instructors to guide us ' d check our work. Our school training has served the purpose of prepar- g us for lifets work, teaching us how to analyze the problems that we will etmnter in professional life and with this foundation to start withewe it develop our engineering careers. , As Engineers we must be continually studying the different phases 0f 3? work in theory and in practice, watching for the changes that take place Vinet'hods and seeking to apply them to our own individual problems. U e'neering is perhaps the youngest of professions and in the evolution of s and modification of past theories the engineer must be constantlyr'alert keep in touch with the changes of theory and their practical applications. Engineers have a place in society as creators of new conditions. They the pioneers of civilization, blazing the way thru deserts, forests, swamps Wmountains, taming the wilds and harnessing the undeveloped power to afthe bidding 0f the men that follow. The trail is blazed, the way is made and then will come the refinements modern civilization to develop the country that the engineer as a re has opened for them. Who is there that knows not of the work of engineer? He may pass on, but the evidence of his Work is left behind It is a silent testimony of the application of his constructive ability tells no story of the hardships that may have been endured, that those followed his road might find the way easier. The engineer is a leader of men, a director of forces, the master of , the conscientious servant of the people, trustworthy and faithful in tuty to mankind, with the spirit of achievement always within him and eady to develop and construct wherever he may be needed. - My classmates, let us follow the example of those who have preeeeded d take our places in the professional world with a firm determination me the best that is in us to the advancement of our profession. Build carefully, build well and let there be a thrill of pride in your work Watch it develop from the bare site to the iinished structure. When , Work is completed, look upon it with pride, in the thought that you done your best and that for all time it will stand as a monument to fforts and a credit to your Alma Mater. 37 GLASS HISTORY. R. L. LESTER. OME perhaps are wondering what is history? It is simply a i record of the past and so PM try and give the record of the Senior Class of nineteen hundred sixteen from the time we were Freshies, and so perhaps fulfill my duty as class historian. In this way only can we judge of the glorious future that awaits each one of us. In the month of September, in the year of Our Lord nineteen hundred thirteen there straggled into this HVale of Paradisel7 a most miscellaneous collection of would-be engineers. Truly it was itsome bunohf and gave small promise of our future greatness as engineers. Oh, that first trip to the ttoffieeil where we were relieved of a goodly amount of the long green. Then we went down to the Deans office, and with fear and trembling watched the mighty Seniors lounging around. We wondered if we would ever have that air of nonchalanee and ownership which they carried so easily. And then thru Trig and HA Squaresi Fourth Algebra and at last we were ready to begin Calculus. The subject we had dreamed about in our high schools. But oh, the struggle with problems that wouldnit be solved and the midnight oil that was burned! But we came thru with no serious injuries incurred, knowing more or less about Calculus. tPrineipally lessy. Plane Surveying helped us to discover that ours was really an engineer- ing course and oh, the joy of carrying a itgunll by Altruria or perhaps watching the girls thru the telescopes. But the first year was soon over and the second was on and we were Juniors; and beginning to take on some of the airs of iiUpper olassmenfl For the nrst time in the history of the sehool the Juniors organized. The officers elected were. Wm. Robinson, Pres; E. R. Ferris, Vice Pres; C. E. Carlson, See; and E. E. Maleeki, Treas. The organization was a success and we soon blossomed forth in neat little black lids with a most modest orange 16 on the front. Once in a while we7d slip them on when we were Seniors, but 7twas only on rainy days. Xmas soon- slipped around and the Dean helped us to get a weeks vacation, something unusual. After the vacation Prof. tDean Yeomany started us off with a little CED exam. in Graphic Statics to find out what we knew. N. B. he didn,t find it. And then basket ball and base ball came in to help us get some pleasure out of ilcollege lifef, Lots of exciting games with the Engineers winning the baseball pennant, as was usual7 furnished lots of excitement. And the summer term with Theoretical Mechanics, Chem; ltwould simply have been unbearable if it hadnlt been for the delightful course in Sagerology which so many of us took. tJust notice I say wei. Even if Mechanics was simply awful yet the summer wasnit half bad. Now there was ttJaekl, with 38 THE REEBDRU Primusic boxH going most any evening, and NEddieH with his fiddle would give us a tune. ' But most things have an ending even if tiPal, Kinsey7s spuds dent and 1t wasn,t long until in September 1915, we were full fledged Seniors. What was the rest of the school to us now, we were Seniors, the plodding and months of the two previous years were forgotten and only the 3' future thought of Now we could lounge around the Engineering Office gaze with haughty contempt on the poor Freshies who slipped in and Luiet as shadows. . But oh, that fall term of 715! Hydraulics and Theory of Structure i1 enough else on the side to more than 1311 in. But we came thru in ,1ewhat the usual way, I guess, having been exposed to some of the great ' ies of the engineering world but not many of us being seriously infected any of them So we were ready to go into Bridge Design with minds .1! to conviction in something that wasrft nearly so deep. And so things slipped along until February 16, when our class organ- for the rest of the year The elections resulted as follows: tThe m-Roller slateJ: R. E. Thayer, Pres; C. J. Smith, Vice Pres; L. F. kg See.;J.R.Bu1ner Treas; P C. Dorr, Editor on tiRecord Board; 'Malecki, Manager on ttReoordi, Board; J F Zajieok, Class Orator; 1nson,Class Poet- F V. Cupp, Prophet; and yours truly, Historian. uAnd then came baseball with an engineers pennant tacked on the end, ual. Our classes were becoming more and more interesting as the days d by. Now there is Zajieck always ready to give us the philosophical sis from the psychological point of View on most any subject. Or 1 Cupp would volunteer the information of how ,tWas done up in Cupp, by the way, was the class humorist with Berson a bad second. emember well how Burner would help things out in HSteam Enginesll ng how he used to run a tractor back home on the farm. IAnd now the last term was slipping by and we soon would be Seniors ifmger. How fast the years have liown and how quickly the last few are held over our class andewelre Real Engineers! .7 e Freshies who once stood with fear and trembling in the shadows ' e Old College Building are now ready to step out and boldly face what 6 future holds in store. Back of us is the confidence that comes from ate ttpreparednessF for our life-work. And it is with glad heart that ass of ,16 goes forth to conquer for Alma Mater and Country. 39 THE REEDREI IEIE CLASS PROPHECY. FRANK V. CUPP. '5- Y, WHAT a difference ten years make! Little did 1 think that i i when I boarded the train at New York six months ago that 1 should land here in Hale, Missouri, hunting for my old friend Less to ask him for that fifty cents he borrowed back in Valpo when he wanted to take that blonde friend of his out to see the movies. I often wondered what he did with that much in Valparaiso in one night! I found Less fixing a jitney. His first words, after his shock of seeing me was over, were, iiHave you seen any of the 01d Valpo bunohiW iiSureF I replied, HThere is Tobey in New Yorke A PREACHER. Who would have thought that, when he was in Valparaiso! Everyone there thought he would turn out to be a Business Manager or a Contractor. iiCopeland is the postmaster at Onset Bay. You remember that little mustache he had? Well now he has a regular eoffee-strainer and chinwvarmer combination. Cope said there wasn7t enough money in the Engineering line so he tried contracting, but someone ran off with his steam roller so he grew discouraged, quit, and got his present job which is sure pay. HI saw Eddie Maleehi in Buffalo. He is leader of the band in iSOUR PAWS 85 FELLS BROS. CIRCUS? I didnt get to talk to him but he gave me the high sign between acts. tiLankenau is editor of the iNapoleon News with Berson, his staff poet. Tonsorial artists are seldom bothered by Berson since he accepted the position. iiGretteir is a detective. He is 110w on a case-someone has stolen a pin out of the pin connected truss at Harrisburg. He told me that he thought he could find it if he could only locate which side of the pin the road was on. iiZajieek is president of the iSyphon Septic Tank Co? of Chicago. Big Jack is still the same old sailor, always talking of his good times and experi- ences in the navy. , uDo you remember Burner? Well, he is manager of the iPeoplesi Home Library 003 at a salary of $10,000 a year. It seeins they can make money in every state but Iowa. mPap and Fuenties are travelingeon a trip around the world. Since the war, their iGentlemeIYs Furnishing Store7 in Havana didnit pay so they decided to travel. til saw Vaidivieso out at Speedway Park in Chicago. He said that Engineering business was too slow7 so he is driving a Saxon speed ear. HThayer is Chief of Police at New London.

T IS customary on occasions such as this to appoint or elect some member of the graduating class to officiate as class orator. Evi- dently you have been true to your traditions as students because you have here one before you. I am not an orator, my training having been along engineering lines, so I will take this occasion, not to spout voluminous eloquence upon your devoted heads but rather to have a heart to heart discourse with you concerning those things which we haVe in common and which we expect to experience when out in active life. I have chosen as my topic one which manifestly interests and concerns you one and all more or less namely: HThe Engineer and the Game.77 It is hardly necessary to bring to your attention the many trials and tribulations that confronted each of your individual selves when you first arrived in Valpo. You came here with an idea. According to what that idea was and how firmly it was rooted in your mind was the determining factor that enabled you to survive the temptations, diseouragements, and rebuffs of your early days in the pursuit of that idea. Gradually out of the maze ttsehool marms,77 lawyers and medics you began to see a light. You began to become conscious of your kind. There were others here with the idea. As you became more interested in your work and more conscious of your fellow eo-workers you began to see that there were others with your ideas, hopes and aims. Thus the 1916 class of engineers was born. Three years have passed and the idea has grown into a big live concep- tion of what the engineer is and what his part is in the tigameW In three years we have seen how our relations to other men in the fields of endeavor is regarded. Our field and work is to direct, Vitalize and conserve the great store of forces and materials of nature for the good of humanity. There are three great problems which confront humanity; poverty, crime and pauperism. They are the Inillstones about the neck of civilization which retard, hamper and delay the march of progress and make life for many, a curse instead of play. Where does the engineer come in? What can he do? Let us analyze the relation of the labors of our eo-workers. The preacher and the teacher give to humanity its ideals and guide its activities. The doctor heals and prevents humanityis ailments. The engineer by his mechanical gifts lifts the curse of grinding labor, thus giving more time for cultural development, wipes out space with his engines and gives the mighty drink to the thirsty desert; the cleansing and cooling draught t0 the dusty and smoky city and makes possible a clean and Wholesome environment for man. The engineer has indeed a most important part in the labors attending the development of civilization. 42 -1-? HE REESEEIRD 77 , l The results of the engineers endeavors cannot be measured in mere ars and cents. All the wealth of the world could not make amends for eiforts and energies expended in the building of the Panama Canal or e planning and construction of our great railroads. The Engineer must t his reward from more bountiful sources. He must open his mind to the 'verse; he must expand mentallyehe must be an open mind. His great ard will come in the nature of a feeling of satisfaction of seeing an idea fold beneath his masterful and directing hand. He will sense the power hich is his and with it will come a God-like consciousness of his ability to i i things. He will have become a God in the embryo. The engineer to get the most out of his work must be generous in his Views d be animated by the spirit of service. If he is fortunate in being of that it losophic turn of mind he is to be congratulated. If not, he should do, read, 61 think such high things that will put him on that high plane. He should t, ivate the cultured art, the sciences and himself. He should cultivate the cultured arts not from the Viewpoint of learning - 7 ything there is to know. It would take you. a hundred lifetimes to do atebut rather to get a general knowledge of many things and one thing 11 wellemaster it. That thing is your part in the iguanleiieyoui' work. When the doors of the school are closed behind you, then if ever, comes necessity for studying, it is essential then. Study became a habit in I001. Little was learned during the school period. .For knowledge is a mvth and one can only grow so fast. One should keep his text-books and e and recapitulate and go over them. One should have an avocation as as a vocation. Take up as a hobby, the pursuit of mathematics or 'ysics. Fix in your mind the idea of growth. To stand still is to fall behind. 4 u have just begun to learn how to study. Remember, when God starts to e a cucumber he usually does it in about four weeks but when he wants make an oak tree it generally takes him one hundred years to do it. Before he can do any of the things we have mentioned he must iirst be of himself. I mention this last because I think it most important. Man uld know himself. Know your weakness, your failing, your good points, fur abilities. Knowledge is power. First in order is good health. Guard ur health and develop yourself physically. There are three big factors in . ery manis life. Some folks say they are the three big things in life. They : self control, justice and imagination. Self control to steady you, justice 'guide you, imagination to lend you creative effort. There are times during the life time of a man that try his soul. Then if 1', he should be sure of himself. Anybody can do things when everything s smoothly, when everything conspires to help you. But when there comes slip some where, when the proverbial hard luck travels in bunches and erything goes wrong, then there is a need for a man of stout heart, steady t es, and the idea. And for just such an occasion as that we must prepare selves. One must fortify himself against the maximum load that can be 43 .- ,, 7 THE gamma applied. And if the idea is there he Will Win. In concluding I would again take you into my heart and impart to you a secret formula which I think should become a part of each engineerls equipment. When everything goes wrong and things look kind of hopeless just you remember. I borrow it from the ancient Sanskrit and it goes like this y: HLook To This Day. For in its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence, The Bliss of Growth, The Splendors of Beauty, The Glory ofAction. For yesterday is already a dream and tomorrow is but alvision; Yet today, well lived, Will make yesterdayls dream a dream of happiness and tomorrowls Vision, a Vision of hope. Therefore, Look To This Day. 44 ISIS I R .u E E R E H . T 45 IEIE n. R n. E E R THE 46 THE IEEEDREI 47 MILO JESSE BOWMAN, A. M., LL. B. Dean of Law Department x FRUFbrft E KJF A LieRARY ,1- THE IggcnRu -;HE Department of Law was instituted in 1879, under the name Northern Indiana Law School by the Hon. Mark L. DeMotte, who 1I was for some years a member of Congress. From the first the Am'iij school prospered under his leadership as Dean, and the teaching of himself and his associates in the faculty. During this period the 1 n of the school to the University was close but semi-independent. The A book method and. the plan then in vogue of presenting one subject at a to each of the two classes were followed. The standard of admission was 'but the faculty and the student body were filled with the spirit of work. ery large per cent of the graduates became successful practitioners, and ES have served as governors and members of the supreme courts of their and as senators and representatives in Congress. In 1907 the school me in the full sense a department of the University. Under the present agement the law building has been remodeled, the library much enlarged, equirements for admission gradually raised, the case method adopted, and ' riculum greatlyenriehed by the addition of many subj ects of instruction. Some: years the attendance has been larger than that of any other law '1 in Indiana. 49 .

Our i 7 coming here today as members of the graduating class of 1916 is an event which marks the termination of our college days in this insti- tution. In the course of but a fewdays we will take our departure for that destination which shall be the field for our life's work. May it, as the days come and g0, give us the feeling of duty well done as our thoughts call to mind the happenings of these past few years; thoughts that pertain to the seriousness of our work; thoughts of those lasting friend- ships that were made during that time; thoughts of the greatness of the task that our faculty were confronted with as they led us into the mines of legal treasures in search of an understanding that will be helpful to us when engaged in actual practice of law. Many of the citizens of this country have nothing other than contempt for the members of the legal profession. It is looked upon as being made up of men who have little or no regard for the rights and welfare of the people; men who use the truth sparingly. In fact they are charged with being so economical with it as not to use it at all. I concede that to a limited extent the foregoing assertions are true. There are men in this profession who use their learning to an advantage in exploiting the people. These are the men who by their crude and corrupt practices rob the lawyer of the name of excellence which he deserves. In an entirety I am led to believe that the standard of citizenship that exists among the members of this profession stands unexeelled. Much depends upon the lawyer in having rights and duties properly determined. This must be done in order to give equality to all per- sons in the eye of the law. Should the enjoyment of the certain rights and privileges be hindered by the misconstruction 0f the laws the maxim itOf equal rights to all and special privileges to nonef, which had been so pro- ductive of good in the establishment of our present form of government, would be void of meaning. A too broad or too narrow construction placed upon the law is certain to work undue hardship for the time being. There should be such a construction placed upon it as to restrain the doing of that which is corrupt and promote the doing of that which is productive of the peace, comfort and prosperity of the State. Men seek after liberty, and find it only in being well governed. The highest liberty is in the best government; wisely planned and faithfully executed. The people of the United States, when ordaining and establishing the Constitution were actuated by a desire to secure to themselves and their posterity the blessing of liberty. This government, the product of great minds, was conceived in the spirit liberty. The enactment of proper laws is greatly dependent upon men of legal training. These men must know the 60 ' 'e tions and needs of the country in order to bring about the enactment of er laws. With this as a duty one can well see the greatness of the task the yer has before him and the necessity of being a man of high principles and ting integrity; why he should be upright and true to this trust; why he uld cheerfully and unselfishly assume the responsibilities incumbent upon of his chosen profession. , In looking forward to the time which is intended to terminate our college L , our feelings do not permit us to suspend the acknowledgement of that Kland gratitude we owe our faculty for their untiring efforts in bringing to student thoughts that tend to lead on and upward. Their lasting influence 11 has been so characteristic of good, will be manifest by the accomplish- i k of those who labored under them in their classes. Their patience and thies have won the admiration of all. The many benefits of which we 4, the recipients will never be forgotten. As a final word to the members of the class of 1916, I wish to state that hought of our parting gives me a feeling of regret. But a short time ago assembled for the purpose of organizing our class. From that time to present we toiled together. We shared the burdens with each other. We ,Wated friendships that time alone Will efface. We are now to take our are into a field filled with able men. Men who know the value of success. . my sincere hope that in this undertaking all obstacles will be overcome that the time will come when the four winds will bear the message to our a Mater that all have made good. That they had decided upon a noble ise; one that had been taken up bravely; borne away carefully and laid triumphantly. 61 t THE igrzacnRu ' I CLASS HISTORY. JAMES WILBUR SCOTT. 0ST histories treat of the deeds of a Caesar or a Napoleon. Net i i so with this, my chronicle is a register of the deeds that have been done and miracles that have been wrought by a band of stalwart men and women who have been gathered together from the North, South, East and West. From all avenues of life came this noble band. They were content to lay aside things varying in degrees of usefulness or necessity to which they long had been accustomed. Some came jointly and some came severally to this Vale of Paradise, to begin the study of the noblest and grandest of all professions. They started some two years ago what has since turned out to be a revolution. An entire change of ideas, things undreamed of have been patiently and pleasingly explained and taught to them. It has been successful. As complete and successful a change as this should rightfully be called a revolution, of course there were some chaotic periods, and even spells that , resembled rebellion but nevertheless the change was wrought. These two long years have been spent with varying degrees of success. Not long after their departure upon this journey some of the weak fell by the wayside. Others for-sook their noble calling and returned to their former tasks. These that remained, proud of that spirit, t Phat were the boys that read the law,77 soon came abreast of the tide, formed many endearing friend- ships and have stuck to the last. Now they stand on the threshold of their goal ready to become practicing lawyers. They realize to a man that the goal for which they have been striving is but the starting point. The many friendships, the pleasant they may be, must soon be severed. Each must go his way. There is no flowery road to success. Each must bear his own burden. These ties of friendship the physically broken will neverthe- less in the future be the source of many pleasing afterthoughts. The class as a whole has been an active one in college affairs. Some of the members have gained more or less fame in school politics. For a while- indeed a certain well known society of the school was dominated and controlled by a few of the boys of the law class of ,16. Two years absence from the parental abode of a certain few have developed those well known persons into regular NBoss Barnesll politicians. In athletics the class has always been a booster. Even when the class teams which it put on the field, had not been winning7 the class as a whole was with them in showing plenty of class spirit. In Varsity athletics the class had been represented by two regulars 0n the baseball team. One of these men deserves a lot of credit for the showing the Varsity has made this 62 f .. THE EEEIJRD' 1 ason. We always felt relieved when we heard the umpire announce, that , Marron would pitch for Valp0; ' The class has been fortunate in having an untiring, hard working, true a me representative of the student council. Our hope as a class is that Edgar : some day be a representative on some higher tribunal, for we know he V a the ability and if once placed there will do his duty. Our own class elections on some occasions have resembled in eloquence a stormy sessions of our National Congress. However stormy they have there always was a feeling uppermost among the members for fair play. Some of the members have had varying degrees of success in trying to fy and conquer the fair sex of the hill. Some who first came into our rdst enjoying the benefits of their walk in the patch of single blessedness 7 since strayed afar from the narrow way and have taken unto themselves Wife. Others fought a good iight but lost. More than once have I been wakened during the night by hearing the echoing sounds of weeping and 'hing of teeth, and the submerged sound of a sob, which no doubt was yle evidence of this one class brotheris pent up feelings of sorrow over 11g lost the girl of his dreams. Nevertheless the class is a typical group of persons trying to be fitted to me better citizens, so that they may go forth unto the four corners of earth and there strive for success, not merely success in a pecuniary way, . a more material success of realizing that their lives have not been wasted, , . that the world has become better because they were free born, legally 1 atedand went forth with a purpose. : My story is at an end. Their coming, their work, and their purpose have . told. ' May our coming be a treasure; may our work be likened to the polishing diamond; and may our future shine forth like the rays of that precious e. The class of ,16 must go. It steps aside and makes way for the class J17. ' i 63 THE EEEEIRU Thorley von Holst, Dean. STANFORD UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF LAW Palo Alto, California, July 1, 1940. T0 Boyd B. Braselton, Esq, Justice of the Peace, Tanktown, N. J. My dear Boyd: SHALL not, apologize, but I must admit that I have neglected a reply to your last letter. However, since I have returned from the graduation exercises at Valparaiso, I am in a better position to write you more entertainingly concerning things of common inter- est between us. The last time we met we were speaking of the strides the members of the Class of 716 had made. Well, Scott has loaded me down with further information concerning them. Scott has one class with the Department now, Common Law Pleading. Since his treatise on Nego- tiable Instruments met with unparalleled success his other works meet with ready demand. They certainly have a fine structure for the Law Department now,-three story, brownstone. Bliss and Metzler have liberally endowed the University. They were there at the graduation exercises. Both have made good and owh immense quantities of land in Montana and Idaho. Scott was telling me of his recent trip to Washington. He was there at the time the Recall of Decisions Act passed the House of Representatives. Weiland, he says, made a masterfulidefense of the measure in a five hour speech. Marron next obtained the fioor. The people of Iowa are backing Marron to a ,man in his endeavor to have the Act passed. West Virginia certainly put a question-box in the House when they sent Carney there, but California seems to have supplied the necessary explanatory medium by send- ing Dalrymple. R. C. J ohnson stopped off to see me while on his vacation last month. The Battle Creek Breakfast Food Company have practically put the Kellogg peo- ple to the rear sinee Johnson was elected to the presidency of the Board. Rummel and Amstein are in partnership in Battle Creek. They are also on the Board. Johnson complains that their practice is entirely too extensive and that they are neglecting his concern.

Besides those named, we telegraphed the Washington contingency in due time for the reunion. Imagine, there was Chief Justice Hughes with his mouth set just as firmly and uneompromisingly as ever. Fields, associate Justice, who it is said, still possesses his familiar habit of reading his thoughts off the rafters. We also had Perry with us. Perry is known as the sphinX of the Supreme Bench, who midst sunshine or tempest looks neither to the right nor to the left but stares straight ahead. We had with us, five United States Senators: Baker of Men tana, the silver-tongued orator of the Senate and his colleague, Long, who we hear insists in the face of the whole Senate that the great and glorious state of Montana ranks nrst in population, in wealth and political importance. The other three were Senators Marsh, of North Carolina, Lucas of Oklahoma and Senator Garmon of Wyoming. When the Canal Improvement measure was before the Senate, and the minority wanted to delay action on it, Marsh and Lucas occupied the floor of the Senate for days in a heated debate as to which of their states had the greatest negro population. Mr. Brown drafted the Food Inspection laws. By very fortunate circumstance D. R. Dickens, Ambassador to Brazil and Valasina, Prime Minister of all the Russias were present, also. At the close of the evening, Mr. Baker, in eloquent terms, dwelling again on the realized hopes of the Class of 16, moved the assemblage to the organ- ization of the HValparaiso 716 Club77 to meet in reunion in the different cities of the United States once a year. Mr. Baker had no sooner resumed his seat, than Mr. Calhoon quickly arising and slyly taking no chances of recognition from the chair, addressed the body in these words: ttNow, gentlemen, you probably wont know just how to go about this, so, I just thought I would , explain. I am in a position to know and have probably had more experience than most of you, as I was chairman of the Board last year that reorganized the American Federation of Law Publishers, and I thought I would just give you men the benefit of my experience along these lines and you can follow it or not as you see lit.

KELLEY. ttHeed ye not the Sirens calling, For her offer is but empty When compared to the reward Of hard work and true endeavor.H It was thus our Dean advised us, As we bought our sets of Blackstone, And began our stormy voyage On the sea of HLegal TrainingW Oh! our hearts were filled oierflowing With a hope that knew no failure; But the day was long, and weary Grew our oarstroke ere the evening. Then our eyes would turn to shoreward Where the shady banks enticed us. How we longed to pause a moment, Just to rest us of our burden! But from HJohnH there came the warning That to pause would mean disaster; That the way to wealth and power, And the things menis hearts craved for, Lay not by the road of Leisure, But the narrow path of Duty. But our dreams of future greatness Suffered soon a rude awakening, For a storm of greatest fury Settled on us without warning, And our crew, with sad misgivings, Saw their comrades, vainly striving, Washid Werboard and left behind them, On the cruel, dark shoals of failure. ' Now at last with half the number That responded to the rollcall, We have reached the Land of Promise Where the hard-earned prize awaits us. Thoughwe ,11 journey on lifets waters And no more will be together, We shall not forget our teachers, Nor the hardships, nor the pleasures, Which were 0111's when we were traveling Through the maze of ttLegai TrainingW 68 a a THE QED DRE I THE CITIZEN OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. J . T. HULL. ?IE COME, not to present to you a new species of mankind, not a new IIAi creature from the hands of a Divinity, but we come to outline those ' iii attributes of mind and heart Which distinguishes The Citizen of 4i the Twentieth Century. , He is a sober man both in habit and in speech. He reads good ks and thinks upon subjects related to the duties of life. He studies pub- ' nestions, discusses them and endeavors to apply the right knowledge. He a candid man, Will take no advantage of falsehood and appeals to no udice. He wants the truth, first of all and When he is sure of it he stands it courageously. He takes an interest in the Wholesome enterprises of ammunity; he pays his debts, patronizes lectures and worthy entertain- He obeys the law, he avoids mean gossip, he indulges in no petty els, he is courteous, kind and just to all. He is optimistic With depth of 7, in enough to make life more serious than gay. In fine, he is hopeful, Cheer- and trusts God as he trusts the laws of gravitation. The home is one place on earth Where is concentrated the largest per cent , is earthly interest. At the name home, the better impulses of his heart i ken. In matured age he may not recall all the experiences, all the strug- -and triumphs of his early manhood; but every early feature of his child- .home, every little play-house that he helped his sister build is so photo- thed upon his heartis tablet that it can never fade away. Whatever else Way forget, he can not forget the place of his birth, he can not forget his s fond caress, his brothers generous advice, his fathers loving counsel, thismotheris anxious prayer. But he sees the administration of the home its not alone in fond memories and hallowed associations7 but it is the ervator of good, the seeding place of virtue, the origin of all civilization, the laws of a nation are but scripts of its domestic code. The words 'ed and the doctrines taught around the fireside are the influences that the destinies of empires and republics. The Citizen of the Twentieth Century is a common citizen among the com- people. He Will not be proud 0r selfish, he Will be simple-minded and 1011s. He Will work first for himself and after having obtained his own bread, he Will assist others to obtain theirs. Yet he Will not expend all 'i time for his own advancement. He will become a public servant7 and eh he Will place the interest of state before the interest of self. In becom- a public servant, he Will not do it from a venal standpoint, he Will not be wary, he Will not have money and position as his goal. But he Will use a public servant because the people Wishes it, believe in him, have con- Ge in him and make demands upon his time and talent, Which demands he faithfully and promptly. In his political life, he Will be consistent, holding certain political beliefs 69 t THE REESEEIRU' H a and opinions, and they Will be his political integrity. He Will vote fearlessly and conscientiously for good men and good measures, thereby supporting the parties and principles that Will best promote the good of the country. Touching the law, The Citizen of The Twentieth Century holds this View: if the law is bad repeal it, if the law is good enforce and obey it. He Will be liberal in his interpretation of the law, and Will not seek for loopholes of escape. He Will aid and help the officials to do their duty and honor their official oath. He Will see that suitable law-givers are permitted to give suit- able laws to the people and that they are interpreted honestly and honorably, and that they are executed fearlessly and boldly. The Citizen of the Twentieth Century knows that natureis motto is iiwork 0r starve, and it is written on the stars and sod alike. Starve mentally, starve morally and starve physically; for it is an inexorable law of nature that Whatever is not used dies. ttNothing for nothing, is her maxim and if he is idle and shiftless by choice, he will be nerveless and powerless by neces- sity. He realizes that labor is his great schoolmaster and he does not lose sight of the fact that it is the struggle to attain that develops him. He is the sum of his endeavors and the reward lies in the race he runs and not in the prize. He recognizes that there was an inestimable blessing in that curse Which drove man from the garden and compelled him forever to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. He Will never presume, because he is a man; he Will never despair, because he has a God. There is in his heart battlefields as grand as Thermopylae and as great as Waterloo. I His parentage and place of birth, Whether royal or humble, Whether born in a kingis palace or in a log cabin With a thatch roof overhead and one door and one window to greet the rain, hail and snow, can notichange his ideals of life. Knowing that he must pour his Whole soul into his work Which he feels to be a part of his very existence, he is possessed With the determination which knows no defeat and that Will push the world up from chaos into the light of the highest'civilization. When he has filled his niche and accomplished his task, he has left the world better than he found it, Whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a rescued soul; Whose life has been an inspiration, Whose memory a benediction; Nfor no pain, no palm; n0 thorn, n0 throne; n0 gall, no glory; no cross, n0 crownW He is not a one day patriot. He will be a patriot three hundred and sixty- iive days each year. He Will know enough to judge correctly the elements of patriotism. His duties and responsibilities bind him to his country as the family ties bind him to be faithful to his own relatives. While he seeks an interest in his own country, he never stands for the unrighteousness of his country towards the loss and injury of other nations. But in asserting his citizenship, he Will show and prove to the world, that he believes in the prin- eiples of self-government, planted on the American soil, Which has been the overshadowing political fact of the nineteenth century! and he would not 70 . ' . THE 1.11;:an - l ange the glory of this Republic for the glory of all the empires that have 11 Mid fallen since time began. Miltiades, Alexander, Charlemagne, and Napoleon have carved out glor- 11s careers as conquerors, but in riding to their high renown, their achieve- uu ehts are written in human blood. N ot so, with the victories achieved by the . en 0f the Twentieth Century. The resistance he organizes is resistance oppression, the battles he wages, are not battles that cause rivers of blood . flow from the wounded and dying, and streams of tears to flow from orphans d 'd Widows eyes; but battles that will bring sunshine and eternal happiness. 5 sense of justice places all men on an equality before the law, and that all 11 are created equal, so far as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is a Berned. tApplauseJ For the last century, the Americans have been a nation of wonder-work- they have reclaimed a vast continent and made her to b10ss0m as the rose. ey have sprung to the first place in business and manufacturing, and we lieve the next century will accomplish even more. The question comes to Citizen of the Twentieth Century: ttHow am I going to aid in this great lopmentVi His answer is this: HBy preparing myself thoroughly for a Work in life and by endeavoring to be not a mere passive follower of oth- but to be a leader so far as my environment may give me an opportunityfi You may go back to the beginning of history, four thousand years before 'e' time of Christ, when man was little more than a savage ; without clothes, we the skins of beasts; without shelter, save in the caves of the overhanging eks, and trace his career down the long highways of time, through the rise ti fall of empires until he reaches the present civilization, harnessing the Twers 0f the earth and air to be his servants, whispering messages across itinents, under and over oceans, crowning all with the glorious achievements the twentieth century. But as sure as the Egyptians have lit the torch of ization in ages inconceivably remote and passed it on to the other sples of the West; so sure, there was never a time in this epoch of the trldis history when there was a greater demand for the Citizen of the Twen- i jth Century. A citizen filled with Vigor, truth and patriotic ardorea citizen in whom and religious liberty stimulate all to an earnest endeavor and whose 'Ler restrains every hand uplifted for his neighbors injury. A citizen greasing in popularity, in strength and influence, solving the problems of , ' ation, whose progress will not take a backward course if war again must 3p his iron hoofs and shake his crimson mane. A citizen standing erect e criminals all around are bowed beneath the weight of their crimesea en who is loved while criminals are only feared. A citizen whose history is like the path of the just, itis as the shining t that shines more and more unto the perfect day? a citizen, who ttwill . ustice be done though the heavens should fallft tApplausel. ! THE lllEsEEIREI l ACTIVITIES OF LAW CLASS-NINETEEN SIXTEEN. Gary Smoker. HE first get-together function of the Law Class of Nineteen Sixteen T' took place at Gary, October 25, 1914, in the nature of a smoker. 1t served as a pleasant close for the day, as the afternoon was mostly occupied in hearing the great speech of EX-President T w Roosevelt, made in his strenuous effort to advance the progres- sive principles. The Class went to Gary by a special train getting there in time to hear the EX-President. 1n the evening all gathered at the quarters of the Ross Club to enjoy the fine smoker. It was a big time for all. Presi- dent Sokoll took an active part in making the affair a great success. After the event another special train carried the company back to Valparaiso. Junior Banquet. As Juniors, the Class of Nineteen Sixteen held a banquet that no class in the University has ever equalled. That was April twenty-fourth, nineteen fifteen. Efforts were put forth to provide eVery essential and without a doubt every detail was fully cared for. Perhaps Altruria Hall has never been turned over to such a large gathering as was present. Vice-President Kinsey furnished an excellent menu. The Class and guests numbered fully two hundred. The law colors played a large part in making the vast dining hall cozy and pleasant. Numberlesrs pennants and banners hung about the walls. Black and gold streamers were run about in all directions forming fantastic designs. The committee, consisting of Johnson, L. A. Crownover, and MeCurdy, made all arrangements and to them the Class was certainly grateful for the success which attended the celebration. Edgar J. Baker performed' the duties of toastmaster with rare skill and his ready wit won for him the praise and favor of the jovial banqueters. Program.

The first dance of the Class of Sixteen, was held on Halloween night of wineteen fifteen, at Armory Hall. It was a splendid dance and huge success. We manner in which the affair was conducted secured the hearty approval .51: faculty and participants. 7 Whalen s orchestra furnished delightful music which was doubtless a ; arge factor 111 making the occasion unusually pleasant and lively. The dancers numbered nearly fifty couples, just enough to fill the hall 1thout crowding. Many alumni of the University were present and they ed much to the spirit and enthusiasm which prevailed. The success was attributed to the earnest efforts of the committee 1 misting of Bentley, Amstein and Rummel. Light refreshments were served ad all predicted longer, merrier lives for having attended. Lawyers Ball. November nineteenth, nineteen fifteen, the Class held a ball at Armory balL The event was unique and a great success. So large was the gathering t it could scarcely be accommodated, consisting of seventy-five couples. alenls orchestra again acquitted itself with credit. One marked feature was the fine decorating. The law colors were neatly artistically draped around the walls and streamers were run from the ter of the ceiling to all sides of the hall. The pillars were beautifully and about with black and gold strips. A delicious lunch was served during intermission, after which the dancers, , ' refreshed, performed artistic whirls with renewed Vigor Many Visitors took the opportunity to attend and all joined in making affair sociable and enjoyable. Without a doubt the success was due to committee consisting of Fritz, Weiland, and Graham. The Ball was 'ttedly the best and biggest social event of the year. On June 6, 1916, the Senior Law Class held a final meeting and bound igelves more firmly together than has been during the two years they have rassembled at Valparaiso. They formed a permanent organization of the 6 Class and are to have a reunion at Valparaiso, during the year of 1920, ,Very ten years thereafter.

LLOYD E. CALKINS. Pharmaceutical Chemists Class, 1916. EMBERS of the Faculty and Friends: I am very glad of the 3 opportunity to be able to express publicly a few opinions in behalf of the Class of 1916, and myself, that will in a very small way, convey to you the knowledge of the great admiration and respect which we bear for the President and the Viee-President of this glorious Institution. In reference to the members of our own Faculty, 1 can only say-eNever will we expect to meet any finer or broader men or men more thoroughly con- versant with the various lines of the profession than they. We as a Class, deem it the highest privilege to have been so closely associated with these men throughout our college course. They have been, constantly, our friends and advisers. Our appreciation of what they have done for us cannot be expressed in mere words. We realize to the fullest the great opportunities that lie before us as Chemists. The profession into which we are now entering, is one of the greatest and best, and it is my great hope that no member of this class will ever commit a single act that will do other than reflect credit, both on himSelf and on his profession. Classmates, live the ideal life. Use the great power invested in you, because of this knowledge that you have, to do good. The field grows larger each succeeding year, discoveries more wonderful are given to the world to be utilized by man. It would indeed be difficult to conjecture where the Science of Chemistry will lead us within the next ten years. We members of this class know that we are entering our chosen field at a most opportune time, and we are not afraid of ourselves. We have that confidence which can only come with knowledge, and that knowledge so neces- sary to give one coniidence, has come to us from our Alma Mater. When we leave this college life behind us and enter the new, we will carry with us love everlasting for our Alma Mater. 82 THE IEEEEIRD CLASS HISTORY.

HENDERSON. iT IS somewhat the general opinion that Opals are unlucky. Maybe they are, but personally I do not think so. This stone happens to be my birth-stone, and when I graduated from grammar school I received one, set in a ring. Altho my fancy doesnit run toward that sort of ornament, I wore it for sentiments sake. After a year . 01' so the Opal became loose, and fell out. The ring is still in my possession, but until the other evening, the opal was lost as far as my knowledge went. On the evening of which I speak, because of a slight headache7 I retired early. The patter of the rain on the roof aided in my falling into profound slumber. The scene changes. There is a hole in the ground ahead of me, about the diameter of a shoe-button, which enlarges as I approach. A tiny silken ladder is suspended from the brim. Suddenly I felt a breeze blowing over me, and felt myself growing smaller and smaller, until I was able to descend by means of the little ladder. After an apparently interminable trip down, a marvelous vestibule was revealed to my rather startled Vision. As I gazed, a troop of little fellows, who appeared like gnomes entered. Then I observed a glass- like7 opaque dwelling. The gnomes kept salaaming before the entrance, which Iinally opened, and in went the little folks, and I followed. Inside, the play of colors was nothing short of beautiful. There was a pile of jewels 0n the iioor, which was more beautiful than any Mosaic work Iive ever seen. The dome itself at last arrested my attention. There was a definite arrangement of the color scheme. By intently watching the different colors I noticed signs. One was directing toward the center of the floor. S0 in order not to strain my mortal eyesight I stepped nearer the center. Auto- matically a tiny elevator bore me aloft7 and there near the center of the dome, I saw the whole works as a mysterious crystal globe, in which, by cencentration of thought, one might see into the future of all mortals. Ah, here was my Chance to get that prophecy for the Ph. 07s. 716. The following I gleaned from the magic crystal: The first person whom I recognized was Sam Johnson. Sam was very busy, as usual, in a very unexpected occupation. He was a tailor. But then, Sam always did like to iicut upfi Next the globe revealed 0. F. Mellen being; made an tiEnzyme in the Salvation Army.77 Charlie did regret the absence of Frats, in Valpo. More concentration brought out the resemblance to a large, imposing shop standing under a huge sign of, tzHughes and Wakeman, Dealers in Chemical Apparati. I A very familiar scene was next presented. There was Harry Wetters at 84 THE lgzscnR - 1.3116 front board in Room H, writing out schedules for young Pharmics. Under lithe guidance of Wetters, the youngsters ought to have plenty of time for ecreation. A long, slowly moving procession came into View, a huge banner exhibited 5the words, uCoxyis Army leaving for the Saharafi Who should appear in 1.151116 but ttDoeiy Mason! But then our friend Mason always was pretty fond bf Camels! tSo a little bird in the Museum told met Now the scene in the globe shifts to a court of Royalty. A graceful young j'QIlOW is seen dancing for the entertainment of the court. None other than .iharles H. Scheirerl It was With regret that his lovely maneuvers faded wefore the appearance of another. This time the panorama portrayed J. H.

FRANK B. WAKEMAN. tApologies to Richard Savage and Edward Youngt v AD unambitious mortals minded naught, But in loose joy their time to wear away, Had they alone the lap of dallianee sought, Pleased on her pillow, their dull heads to lay, Rude Nature7s state would not have been our state today; No cities eter their towery fronts had raised, No arts had made us opulent and gay, With brother-brutes the human had grazed, None e,er had soared to fame, none honored been, none praised. For can gold calm passion, or make reason shine? Can we dig peace 01' Wisdom from the mind? Wisdom to gold prefer, for ,tis much less, To make our fortune than 0111' happiness; That happiness while great ones often see, With rage and wonder, in a low degree, Themselves unblesyd. The poor are only poor, But What are they Who droop amid their store? I know thy soul believes, tTis hard Vice triumphs and Virtue grieves, Yet 0ft affliction purifies the mind. Kind benefits 0ft 110W from means unknown, Were the Whole known, that we uncouth suppose, Doubtless ttwould beauteous symmetry disclose. The naked cliff that, singly, rough remains, Lead-coloured clouds in scattered fragments seen, Show through in broken Views, the blue serene, Sword law has often Europets balance gained, And one red Victory years of peace maintained, So we pass through want to wealth, through dismal strife To calm content, through death to endless life. 86 87 IEIE U R .u E E R E H T THE 1.1;:an L.

WARREN. 9 ELLOW CLASSMATES, members of the faculty, and friends: It is with a feeling of mingled sadness and pleasure that I address. k you. Sadness because I realize that our little band is soon to be A, -2. broken up. Some of you are going to labor in foreign countries. i Some of you will return to the land of your birth there to help . ur countrymen live a more sanitary and healthful life, still others will I main in school. But who knows when or under what circumstances we will eet again? . On the other hand, I am highly pleased to be one of your number, and to ize with you our mutual happiness for which we have worked so long d arduously. Although we are to receive within a few days our cherished diplomas, 11 we must remember the technical course is only the beginning of the ; rmacists7 or Chemistsl education. To achieve great success in our profes- 11 we must continue to study, not technical books alone, but men and women th whom we come in contact in the performance of our daily tasks. We I t be mixers. We must get acquainted with the men and women who are be our customers, most especially the women. We are bound to learn some- 2. g from the most ignorant, and by giving help and satisfaction to those ing it we ourselves will be strengthened in our own knowledge and Ofession. Membership in the Pharmaceutical Association, and subscription a few of the leading Pharmaceutical Journals and Magazines Will enable to keep abreast of the times. ' ' There are more men in the field than there are ttbigh positions, so it is l,ious that'we must start low and climb, building a firm foundation under eh step,ea foundation of honesty, accuracy, and good judgment. Honesty must be inherent, but accuracy will become a habit, and good figment second nature, if we do what is right. We must secure accuracy ore speed, and can do so by ever being careful to check our work. Good gment comes only with experience and must be the result of close observa- n of what is best to do as shown by what has been done. No other profes- ' a1 man is yet required to be so accurate as the Dmggist in his work. The , an and women who mix and compound the most deadly poisons, are the e peoplei'who must have a mind all their own. Not that we may escape e laws of the State and the United States, but that we may save the lives hose entrusted to us. Perhaps we can get an idea of what is expected of us in our profession ' 0m what I would call the popular idea of a Druggist. A Druggist is a quiet ' rson With a white coat and broad smile, who spends his time revising old i 99 THE REEDRL'I IEIE A perfumes, compounding new ones, and pleasing the women. In order to do this the Druggist does not tear the earth wide open with a hundred ton spade like the Engineer,.0r perform other feats of strength. He is usually of ordinary size, and if he used only his hand he could not make a one-grain tablet. Much less a two-grain suppository. The Druggist does not rely on muscle but brains. When the Druggist wishes to compound something new, or the Chemist a new element, he retires to a quiet place with his Materia Medica, Pharmacopoeia, and National Dispensatory. After a few hours, weeks, or perhaps even years, he emerges with something new. He then adds up the cost, multiplies it by three and puts it before the public. The Druggist is not generally known. This is because he cannot often be found on the street corners, or in the clubs, nor in the act of decorating Grand Opera with a vast white shirt front. He usually lives under an electric fan, in a white coat, and behind a broad smile. After the ordinary man has been a Druggist for a few years he has acquired such a habit of smiling that the women all know him as the Hsmiling druggist.H The Pharmacist is continually revising things, rearranging fixtures, and making things look nicer and more attractive. He is as restless and unsatisfied with the way things look as the woman who is always re-arranging the parlor furniture while her husband is away, so he may fall over it when he comes home in the dark and receive a pleasant surprise. The Pharmacists and Chemists have converted the crude drug into the sweetest perfumes and creams. They have made at 21:42:63 foot freckle faced, red-haired girl look like a plump, rosy-cheeked peroxide blonde. Some day he will begin experimenting with the substances of the soil that go to make the wheat, corn and potatoes7 and we may yet have a process by which we can manufacture food right from the soil, already digested, and ready to feed to the customer by the spoonful. Who knows? Give 0111' Dean Timmons three square meals a day, a piece of chalk, and a benzene ring, and he is liable to make anything. May many of these discoveries and inventions be accom- plished by the Pharmacy Class of 1916. And to you members of the faculty, I wish you many more years of prosperous teaching, thus enabling the ones that are to follow us to get the pecuniam. May the greatest of success come to each one of you. 100 j THE IEEEEIRW' j CLASS HISTORY. stACK. 7? ,4; S I sit down to write a history of this class, the largest in the history $3; of the department, I feel incompetent, and realize that to write should be. As I look back upon the progress we have made here, I wonder, ttean it tea possibleTi Can this group of brilliant Pharmics possibly be the same '. roup that entered on Sept. 15, 1914:? Can you carry your imagination back Ciao those first few days? Do you remember the sheepish, dogged and home sick Wn classmates? We gathered here from the four corners of the earth even from the wilds i Arkansas and assembled in that strange place, the Auditorium twith which, in the way, we never became very familiari. From there we marched over .. room H where we first beheld our dean with his neier-to-be-forgotten smile as we fiocked in and seated ourselves, he talked to us in such a manner made us feel a little more at home. He has from then 011 led us in those Ysterious realms known to chemistry; with the aid of iiBillii Spear team 4?. ever forget himiU in the laboratories. During our first termis work we were pretty well scattered, most of us ing together though in Weem7s Botany class where we soon became better guainted. We all remember how on cold mornings we were cheered by the ngs of the German class in the next room and also remember the day i ddyii lost his r011 book and found 0. U. Schlitz enrolled on the new one. . d so with many amusing incidents the first term sped by and the examina- i ms stared us in the face. It was about this time we became familiar with at most useful and famous little animal commonly known as the iiShetland. ,i ' second term was upon us, iiDieki, began the days work with gentle doses . iiirst Newth, while iiBi1177 supplied the alterative in the form of Qualitative alysis. It was this term that Wetzel made his famous speech on the fourth 7d fifth dimension to which ttDicki, merely scratched his head and said, eefi i The term passed with everybody grinding and nothing more eventful than .occasional movie in room C and a day off in Pharmaceutical Latin. Our ,d term we were very sorry and disappointed to be deprived of dear old ' .ddy Weems. Epple proceeded to take his place to such an extent that we med Physiology, also to take life a little more seriously. This term we learned the meaning of work. The remembrance of assigning bookkeeping lesson still makes me dizzy. Can we keep books? Certainly. 101 And now as my head clears a little I happen to think of those awful hours we wrestled with Physics, and my eyes get cloudy again. How we ever sur- vived this termis work is beyond me, but somehow we arrived at the end and amid great gobsutthe expression is borrowed from Neelyi of ttsee you next years77 and ttgoodbyest; disbanded for our summer vacation. As we returned from our summer vacation we found several of the 01d bunch missing but their places were taken by new members. On our first meeting in room H, we saw the Swede back with a beautiful coat of tan, claim- ing that HIn my country they teach us to be life savers, also claiming to have arrested a cow. We were hardly seated and Rosenberg had started to talk about something, when Sheirer came in late as usual. Altho we had seen Warren on the street, when the roll was called we found to our amazement that he committed the unpardonable sin of changing to the law course. In about two weeks however, he came meekly back unto the fold. We received our first introduction to Prof. Wisner Hater affection- ately dubbed HWizzietU this term and under him, soon began to learn real Pharmacy and spelling. ttDrop your voice, positive statementW Chostner and Little Diekti led us gently into the manufacturing Lab. where one intelligent young man asked at the window for C 02, having brought an evaporating dish to carry it in. This term one of our members having been invited to leave, we walked out of classes and protested. After a day or so we held a class meeting and found after careful investigation that the invitation was justifiable, hence we marched back to classes. The second term started 0E with a rush which continued thruout the year. We had Hlots of things to keep us busy, with intervals of yell practice and basket ball games. Under the management of ttTimmiei, the Pharmic and Medic Basket Ball team, after many hard tussels, won the inter-elass championship. The team was, of course, ably supported by the class rooters, ttWizziett being a constant attendant at the games, also assisting in organiz- ing our yells. Even our Dean was aroused, attending some of the games and assisting in yell practice. The most prominent of these was when we trimmed the Lawyers getting the goat which they had paraded with and displayed the previous day. The writer was unable to attend however, being at the bedside of the yell leader who had fallen down a flight of stairs landing on his head. The following day we had a beautiful parade with the surrendered Lawyersa goat, which was interrupted by our amiable old friend tiJoe Crow? who playfully arrested Rice, a junior for making a loud noise with his feet on the pavement. Rice was released and acquitted, however, at the trial, to our great relief. Not only did we go to basket ball games, but even marched down to the Baptist church to attend the revival meeting held there, again under the leadership of Wizzie. Dick kindly started us off on Organic Chemistry best described by Sam 102 l . . THE EEEIRD 1 hnson as Hawful stuff,, and certainly made organic chemists out of us this II .7 In our third and final term our course was not so heavy, lightening up to e us time to ttfuss around for graduation. We finished the work started previous year at the rear of the buildings. Our dreams coming true in the 0f Botanical gardens and further beautification of the slope by installing i letters, so conspicuously displayed there now. Do you remember how that looked two years ago? Further triumphs came when Parker was elected Editor-in-ehief of the ' ual and topping it off, came the unanimous dedication of the Annual to iDean, Mr. Timmons. Could it ever be dedicated to a worthier man? d still the wonder grew that one small head could carry all he knew. It een thru his eiforts that our department has become not only the leading partment of the University but a department known all over the U. S. as a o'er. We feel justly proud of our Dean and our department. We look and again feel proud of the work we have done here. We leave marks , will remain far into the future. We, among other things, have established a Pharmacy Library here that as fair in time to grow and outshine any other of its kind. We, however, cannot claim all the laurels for ourselves, we have just con- d the work so well started by our predecessors in making their dreams7 : ties. Our hope is that our followers will continue the good work and, . 13 within us we know they will. We are leaving the University prepared to make 0111' mark in the world that powerful crayon, a degree of Ph. G. 103 ELECTRONS, AN APPLICATION. HIRAM G.. FULSHER. :2 LECTRONS are but little things. Still the movements they make, I the energy they exchange, the space they traverse, and the time they spend is to many the universe. There cannot be an utter disregard for little things. The minute intangible entities, the electrons, are unitary in and indispensable to the thinking process of the modern chemist and physicist. Their role is paramount in the explanations of many organic and inorganic . changes. Even all observed phenomena could not be accounted for by the Inosttinventive and ingenious scientists When employing atoms alone as units. That useful and venerable atomic theory received a keener edge in its new adjunct, the electron hypothesis. A similar example Will be presented from psychology. Formerly, mentality was divided into various awkward and overlapping components, called faculties. These were replaced or supple- mented by the practical and elementary division, the sensation. A penetrating mental tool to aid in investigating and interpreting mind and one also to assist in examining and explaining matter had been devised to lay the more delicate yet more serviceable bases for further thought. Greater knowledge and skill, however, are required for the effective use of accurate and acute instruments than for inaccurate and blunt ones, for it takes an intricate and sensitive mental mechanism to make correct syntheses and analyses With elements so small and capable of so many combinations. These are necessary nevertheless in dealing with nature. Natural processes have unity, but also innumerable details, or perhaps there are no details, but the human mind grasps a definite portion, only, at a time and therefore must be supported in resting places. The nearer such points are together the more nearly man,s idea approaches nature7s curve. 'To reach a truth in this way necessitates intellectual subtlety With systematic thinking. The mind must be able to combine trifles into usable conceptions, A conception having the profoundest utility is that of life. NWe live in deeds, not years: in thoughts, not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the bestW In fashioning one,s idea of life he can use the most efficacious materials, available to his intellect, but should never confuse parts; atoms must be treated as atoms and electrons as electrons. The thought expressed in this paragraph is conveyed by Tennysonis verses: 104 . t THE 1.11;:an I ' itFlower in the crannied wall, I pluck you out of the crannies ;e Hold you here, root and all, in my hand, Little iiowerwbut if I could understand What you are, root and all, all in all, .

In addition to getting acquainted with individuals one constructs an image of humanity as a whole. A conclusion will be drawn as to what man- kind considers good and supports, and what it regards as bad and condemns. The comprehension of this problem will be curbed by the principles one has assimilated, the concrete sources of these being science, mythology and other traditions, and the Bible. As man is only partially a rational actor, resulting - activity never depends entirely upon any particular data-origin. One impor- tant aspect of' the aforesaid implicit purpose of the human race, the biological sciences have laid bare. The fundamental truth thus revealed is identical with that disclosed by physical science and is change. All organisms have evolved from some simple form to the present stage. Social life and inter- dependence of man and man are unfolding as a flower, which though it looks mature, never is quite in full bloom. Each man today must manage himself more closely than ever before in order not to be obnoxious to others. This constant but imperceptible variation viewed from these three angles, has a certain trend. Its outcome is an onward advance of life. Although there are many differences between the ambitions and hopes of individuals for humanity, which suggest no absolute mean, attempts at solution are not wholly fruitless. One who has studied the sciences of life knows that all life takes the path of least resistance and that human beings seek the biggest bulk of genuine happi- ness. tgYou were made for enjoyment, and the world was filled with things which you will enjoy, unless you are too proud to be pleased by them, or too grasping to care for what you cannot turn to other account than mere delightW The inference is plans have been made, Godis plans if you choose to call them so. These designs are more easily followed than not, which appears like a variety of orthogenesis. A further deduction is that the wholesomest joy and greatest glory comes to him who furthers most the realization of these plans. HOh blindness to the future! kindly given That each may fill the circle marked by Heavlan He who does not march in this circle is trampled under by the hosts who are making progress.

MISS RITA A. HENDERSON. FOWADAYS there are comparatively so few skeptics with regard ' t0 the question of women7s pursuit of the professions, that one wonders why public opinion has changed. At the present time the theme ttPreparednessi is so current, that I chose to put the denouement 0f the question under that caption, in order to show how a Pharmacy course for girls, is both fitting and proper. This proposition merits dual consideration, namely domestic and indus- trial. Since the ideal of every normal young women is to be some day mistress of a home and happy household, the former consideration is of much import- anee. Professor Wisner dwelt to some extent on this subject in one of our classes during the past school year, and I hope he will pardon me if I have stolen some of his thunder. He termed Pharmacy7 Advanced Domestic Sei- enee, and there is indeed more truth than poetry in that statement. While we do not profess to gain a complete knowledge of dieteties, we do have a com; mand 0f therapeutics which enables us to recognize symptoms of idiosyncrasy in individuals, a benefit which is of value both in prevention of disease and in lessening doctors7 bills. Economy is a subject taught in this course by iiold man experieneey The modern housewife fares badly without such training. However the woman with pharmaceutical training has an insight into market prices, and is able to get along with less pecuniary aid than those who have not this training. The knowledge of Hygiene, and Sanitation is a granted accomplishment of every intelligent woman, and a Pharmacy course furthers the intellect, so this need not be discussed more fully. Therefore it may well be understood that Pharmacy preparedness is an important factor in the dower of a young woman. Directly after graduating from a Pharmacy course, a young woman realizes her independence. Skill of hand opens numerous opportunities in the industrial field which otherwise would be closed. Every modern druggist feels or ought to feel the need of at least one woman clerk in his store. Pro- fessor Sahm said that the drug store must cater to the women. It follows that the store must respond to the demands of the patronesses. False modesty 0fttimes forces the trade due to a local drug store to a mail order house. Such action can be remedied by the installation of a woman clerk. Again the prescription work demands the attention of a feminine eye. Everyone knows the native ability of womankind in such capacity. Furthermore, the general appearance of the store may be wonderfully 108 7 1ETHE 1;;1: EIRU l improved by womants ever-watchful care. J ust as a girl-studentb room differs from a boy-studentk room, just so the drug store With a woman clerk must differ from that Without. Thus it has been my endeavor to show you just how a pharmacy course for girls is both fitting and proper. Before concluding, there are some remarks in general Which I would make in behalf of the girls. By general consent we say that there are few disagreeable things about a Pharmacy course. The ' worst in our opinion is the fact that Manufacturing Pharmacy requires us to pick the seeds out of colooynth apples. But this grievance and all others are offset by the environment, and by this environment I mean the association With the hue, healthy, good-looking young men, our classmates. Girls, you dontt know What you are missing by not being Pharmics. 109 THE REEDRL'I ISIS CLASS PROPHECY. CHARLES H. BRADLEY. - 1.: FTER a day of strenuous work; study and excitement, I was sitting X V at my desk surrounded by piles of books and references, worrying . about my final tests of accumulated knowledge gained in my stay at Valpo, when I fell asleep-eI surely must be dreaming, things could not possibly change as were these things changing, were it not a dream. I heard a voiee-I turned to find myself face to face with a little man, surely a dwarf. He noticed my surprise at his sudden appearance and smiling said: IlFrom where do you comeIW I could not answer his question , but explained to him that I had forgotten time, place and friends, and did not know who I was nor from where I eame'He said you love myth, do you not? Did you ever hear of the great Oracle of Delphi? Would you like to Visit the Oracle? My 1ife7s hope was to come true. I answered him saying it would be the height of my ambition. He started ahead, walking slowly and speaking no more to me. I asked him many questions but he did not seem to hear them. We traveled over ledges and dangerous gorges. At last we came to a great rocky hill with an irregular opening in one side. I could hear mysterie- ous sounds within the opening. Sounds like the moaning of the wind in a deep forest. We passed through the entrance to find ourselves in a great room. Beautiful, colored rocks and gems were everywhere to be seen. In the center of the room was a great pile of gems and ornaments surrounding, what appeared to be only a deep holeeI found this was where the sounds were coming from. The dwarf went to the opening of the hole, layed a hand full of gems on the pile and kneeling spoke in a language I could not understand. I heard a hissing and roaring of gases. To my surprise, this noise developed into a human voice and in perfect English the great Oracle spoke. You want to know from whence you came and who your old friends are? There seemed to be an eternity of silence then I heard these words Years ago you were in Valparaiso, Indiana, going to the most wonderful Pharmacy school. The voice was silent again. I tried hard to remember, but I could not. Suddenly my memory cleared, where are Wizzy, Dick and all my old school mates, I cried to the Oracle. Where are my friends? The Oracle replied, it is a long story so be seated and listen. In the University of Valparaiso, which is now one of the greatest and largest schools in the United States, you will find Mr. Wisner, Dean of the Department of Pharmacy, which is known even in the land of Greece. Mr. Timmons, your former dean, has retired. His great book on Chemistry is adopted by most Pharmacy schools in your states. Three of your old class- mates are instructors at the Universitthr. Fulsher is teaching Mineralogy and blow pipe analysis. Gordon Hughes is now professor of Pharmacy and. i Christley is teaching Volumetries and Analytics. 110 i f THE EEEIJRU . .- For some time I lost tract of one of the most eminent of Virginiais lawyers. i his man went west to practice Pharmacy, but did not stay long. He returned teary and foot sore again to Valpo, and took a course in law and public eaking. But who can this man be? I asked. C. A. Ritenour. Only recently I noticed in this land a very large man and a little woman. hey were gathering herbs and roots. The man is a great eOrn doctor and 1:18 woman is his wife. Each year they come to Greece and gather their pplies. I have heard this man called Neely, and have heard him call the Oman Bess. Their home is in a small town in Illinois. I cannot recall the I have often heard the name of J. Otto Wetzell mentioned by many nsas farmers, who have told of a wonderful man in their Vicinity who sold 7 book called P. H. L. He is a junior partner in the great firm of Lowenstein in Chicago and Valparaiso. You remember in the years you were in Valpo, how Miss Vella and Albert utzker were nearly' inseparable. They have united in the holy bonds of trimony and are living in a small town in Italy. Albert is employed as . mist in a manufacturing company in that vicinity. You surely haventforgotten Mickey and SameWho? L. Russel Hughes Sara J ohnson. They are traveling with a Chicago Vaudeville Company. ey draw great crowds in large cities, especially St. Charles and Ft.

B. as he was familiarly known still lives in Brooklyn- opposite the Judsonls Blacksmith Shop. He travels over the United es, organizing spelling bees. Joe became very efficient in this line while v Valpo. Bill Fastenow, after leaving Valparaiso, went to work for a drug company ,East Gary. As Bill had only learned two languages, English and P1 ofane, is a great believer in rich farm land, hence his knowledge of chemistry and tally were of some value. While the Mexican and United States war was going on, a call was ted by the press for volunteers. A deck scrubber and biscuit shooter was i 137 needed in the navy, Doc. Mason, at one time a navy man went all speed 1 his old vocation. I have since heard that Mason is still scrubbing decks, l his job of mixing biscuits was taken from him on account of the tender achs of the marines. , McWhorter has long since accepted a job with the Mather Sign Company pose as HSunny JimW He has made good at this work as most of the time aan remain seated. Magnuson has been pronounced by authorities as the greatest chemist Sweden has ever known. It has been stated that Arrhenius was nearly 111 7 THE EEEEIRTJ 4. his equal. By the way his private secretary is one of your old classmates too. Miss Gershenzwit. She has been in the Mtagnuson laboratories for nearly hve years. Mr. Magnuson has said, his future is greatly dependent upon this young lady. Thomas Hogan the red-headed boy who used to be a great man with the ladies has accepted the job of head druggist in the drug shop at the north end of the manufacturing laboratory. Thomas has made good his trade and has followed it constantly since your departure. Another man Who did not follow his trade was Claude Warren. He is now one of the ministers of which Mississippi is proud. Claude said, the pleasure of uniting two happy people in wedlock was safer than running the risk of giving black draught for black drop. He is loved by his community and is married. However, he does not tell 19 to get off the fence and go to rock 23. Snider is a successful farmer in Texas. He did not practice pharmacy long as he had nothing to do the six hours he was off out of the twenty-foiir. He has been trying to locate his old mates to tell them he isnt sore any more about the disappearance, years ago, of his Lab Apparatus. He boasts a great deal of his onion crops and is now experimenting with garlic. 'y E. C. Williams was one man you should all be proud of. His state has claimed his time to represent them at Washington. When Mr. Williams gets up at the house to speak, you could hear a pin drop. He hypnotizes his audience. Mississippi boasts of a second Henry Clay. Dearman has accepted a position with the New York Creditors Association as collector. He has made the statement, that often times he has collected as much as $5.00 from a certain class7 in nine months. He also is stockholder in the Standard Oil Company. He is the founder of the saying, HHels watch- ing meY, V L. G. Johnson is now manager of the Jigtown Fife and Drum Corps. He has been very successful in leading parades in various cities without a permit. He is interested in the Parke-Davis Manufacturing Company, and is advance agent for Pink Pills for Pale People. Rita Hendersonis name appears in all the leading papers of the United States. She has just signed contracts with the managers of the Boston Bloomer Girls as pitcher. No doubt she will make a second Matty. Financial con- siderations were not made public. It is useless to say, she will draw a better salary than the average manager of a drug store. Carraseo has astounded his native country in the art of juggling labora- tory apparatus. He appears upon all the great stages in South America per- forming the ttmiraculousi7 stunt of causing a pereulator to disappear and the sudden appearance of a ring stand. Geo. Kramer, I believe was in your 1916 class? He is a State Board Examiner now in Chicago. It seems he had rather hard luck in the rapid calculation system used by them in spring exams. The seventh time George 1y12 . Ca 7+ THE 1:555:an i the board he resolved to put the political pull under these men. By the rty support of his city of Lincoln he won himself a place on the Board. He d if any of his old classmates need a sheep skin from his high throne, catch rain for Chicago. I have recently heard of an elderly man who still attends classes in your 7 a department of Pharmacy. He occupies a front seat as of old and while Wisner pronounces the law of Organic Chemistry this man interrupts , lecture to give in his weird dialect, segments of prehistoric theory. The an often says, NLet me talk, Barkevicz, and you listen, not even the m of the passing ttPennsy7t can stop his speech until he has not only ' oached but reached his limit.

He is highly esteemed by the fellows. Always l plenty of fresh air in the Gymnasium. There is one of your classmates who has made a wonderful success as a er and vocalist. She sings in the Metropolitan Opera House and her pic- s are in all the theatrical papers. This young woman is Gail Smith who e to sing s0 sweetly in the Lab. at old Valpo. We are now in a city of India and the people are being stirred to a state fgr'eat excitement for the greatest Hindu Mystery has been out done. NAu er which gives everlasting joy has been invented by your old classmate y d. You will remember him by that smile that wouldnlt come off. V The class of 716 put out two of the greatest Pharmacognozists of the pres- day who are working out a Botanical Classification which would make reth look sick if he were to see them. At last all the plants around famous body of water called Sagerls Lake have been classified, which is one of the smallest parts of the achievements of these great Botanists, Hmian and; Hayatian. These books can be had at all book stores over the d and both have had offer after offer of chairs in the great Universities Europe. While I am discussing your classmates of Europe, let me tell you me, who was studying Pharmacy with you and became quite famed after- l t1 along the lines of Debate. He is none other than Dennis, whose grin fys greets you when you meet him. He is now an ambassador to your try, representing our beautiful Greece. t The next did not come plain to me but I think I heard the word V on burg of Klinkenburg. It seems that this worthy Valpoite has found e1 joy for he has charge of the Drug Assay Department of the well known .7 Eli Lilly 85 Co. ' A silence and the sounds which came from the Oracle were incomprehen- i I listened eagerly for it to resume but it was not until the dwarf put : jewels on the pile that the Oracle spoke with renewed Vigor. 113 . THE REESE EIRU I will tell you now of your old friend, Winski. After finishing his course in Pharmacy he could not get away from this advanced Domestic Science, so he got a life time job from his Royal Highness mPa Kinseyll to manage Altruria Dining Hall, and there you may see him smiling as ever, though some- what aged. His idea of studying Medicine was completely given up when the position was offered him. His knowledge of Toxicology, especially Emet- ics, will be broadened, for after administering Pa Kinseyls so-called stew there is much chance to note the therapeutic effect. Rumor has it that he was in love seventeen times, but to be more correct fifteen suffices. The Oracle sighed deeply and I wondered who was next. iiI see,77 said the Oracle, iia tall, gaunt man hurrying from room to room and in and out of the various buildings of the great Valparaiso University. This is J ayne whose excellent oratorioal ability has landed him the job of instructor of Debating and Parliamentary Law. Of course he is not to be compared with the great Nutter who preceded him, but being so strict and having more authoritative powers he easily holds his own with the motley crowd who are under his charge in his Debating Sections, Grover Milbee, the fellow who doted on ttPractical things, has come to the height of his ambitions, and that is that he has amassed millions. His generous ways are evident when you see the various foundations he has organ, ized. The first and probably the only one of its kind is a home for aged Pharmacy professors. He realized before he gave up pharmacy just what strength and nerve it requires to teach a class of pharmios. Another great work which he has done is the erection of a beautiful moving picture theater on the Hill at Valpo. Milbee appreciated the fact that students tespecially pharmacy studentsi have so much time i! 6.1 ? to spend that he erected this place for free recreation for the students of that work. At Valparaiso, Harold Heiman showed his exceptional independence and free action by extending a two years course in Pharmacy to three years. Hence we can trace his life on, always as a dominant one, but time will not permit. He finally showed his utter contempt for all laws both legal and social by taking three wives instead of one. He settled downa in his home town with his three polygamous wives. The natives takes pride in pointing out to strangers the one man of their town who deliberately defied all rules of environment and convention and all precedents during his life. May he still continue his way as long as he respects the rights of others enough to cause no unhappiness. Among the members of your class you will remember that Rosenberg was one that stood out past most of them in personality and class standing. This young man no doubt would have reached the top of the ladder if it had not been that he fell in love with a young girl from off the farm. Shortly after he graduated he married this young lady and is now running her fatheris farm. . You remember Chas. F. Mellen, the man who served as president of your 114 THE 1;;EEIR '1:I . I 1 glass for two terms. He is undoubtedly one of the foremost men in this state, twice being elected Senator and now it is rumored that he is considered as a arospeetive candidate for President of the United States, on the Prohibition ticket, which party he leads. , ' But I know you. are anxious to hear about the one brilliant man of chem- ry. You will remember that Miller always displayed a superior knowledge that science. After hnishing up his Ph. 0. work at the University he said at there was no more to be learned there. He returned to Pennsylvania ere he set up a laboratory and began to delve into realms of science known to man at that time. In a few years he surprised the world by prov- that Mendelejeffls Periodic Classification of the elements was all wrong. at gases do not have a critical temperature and pressure and that one ele- nt can be obtained from another. He then turned his attention to the study Mineralogy and the rocks of the interior of the Earth, and had a hole Iled three thousand miles deep and ten feet in diameter. After bidding his ends farewell, he started on a long journey into the bowels of the Earth d the world has never heard from him since. You may consider yourself a fortunate person to have even been associated th those men of your class. All of them seem to have achieved fame in ne degree. There is Rickard who discovered a new method for making 'd extracts and who now holds the position as manager of ParkeeDavis . eanufacturing Company. ' Garl owes all his superior knowledge to the fact that he was associated Miller and Whiting. This man now holds the chair of Professor of ria Mediea in the University of Michigan. He first applied his high tech- knowledge to Agriculture and made a name for himself by eliminating rch from the potato till Pa Kinsey pleaded with him in the name of his a Mater to cease work along that line as he was causing the board to be , high at Heritage Hall, because of the high price of spuds. ' There is another one of your classmates that you want to hear from, who des in a foreign country. Geo. Moore after leaving school went back to kansas where they needed good men to conduct the affairs of the State. iorge went into society where he literally took the girls off their feet with L 1 new methods of dancing. He is now the petted darling of all Mammas 0 have daughters of marriageable age. He is too shy and iickle to be ped. He says that when a man gets married he grows old and doesn,t get much out of life as when he is single and that variety counts for more than notony. He also invented a chemical which when taken in small doses uses a person to fall in love with any one he desires, the length of time pending upon the size of the dose, the effect of one grain lasting a month. urge made a large fortune selling this discovery, but unfortunately it was d-to excess as Opium and Cocaine. One of the sad cases was that of Earl Pressnall. He ordered Some of this lg intending to use it, as he had never been in love. So when it arrived 115 1' THE 1;; E-EIRHEII -1 Earl measured out what he thought was one grain, intending to take it just before the lady who had fallen into his favor arrived at the store, as Was her habit. But due to a weakness of his knowledge of the table of weights and measures, poor Pressnall took one ounce and fell in love so deeply that for forty years was under the influence of it. The girl took pity on him, married him and now they have sixteen children to bless their happy union. Your old friend, Wakeman, is now running a restaurant at Valpo. None of the old boys are in any way more satisfied than Wake. He now always gets breakfast at 8 :30, as he is never detained in Materia Medica. His voice has changed wonderfully since a trip to California, hence I have had a very hard time in keeping track of his whereabouts. One of my greatest surprises for you is that of Chas. Skaggs. In these past years Skaggs has only one rival in the heavy-weight classeBaby Ethel of Ringling Bros. Since Charles has gone out on the Sahara, as his life work is that of Caravan promoter, he does not have the tasty little pies and cakes cooked by some iine Domestic Science damsel, but has gained wonderfully in weight. I chanced to overhear a message to Roswell Monroe which requested him to join his pal Skaggs and accept a job of camel training. Monroe is quite efficient with the Camels so I look forward to a great change in desert transportation. No doubt you remember in years gone by of a Pharmie Parade in Valpo and how the eminent Crow soared down upon an innocent pharmie and car- ried him away to his nest in the city hall. At that time there was brewing in the minds of two Pharmies the glory of revenge which has since come. The old police force was routed and in their place stands Seheirer and Wetters. I might mention here, their superior, the Mayor of Valparaiso signs his name J ack Smith. Green and Noble cannot be located. The last I heard of these two young men, was years ago. They went to Crown Point to Visit one of their old friendsgNewton I think was the name. Newton was then serving as a mem; ber of the School Board near his farm and while at one of the meetings his friends accompanied him. To show his and his friends ability, he was to perform an experiment. While Green and Noble were busy preparing apparatus Newton, the broad-minded, added an ounce of nitro-glycerine to the preparation to watch the action. Unaware of his proceedings Noble, with- out apparent cause, upset theibeakerwand as I have said, I lost track .of these men. Wilson, the man from Missouri7 whose announcements were always made by Mr. Neely in the Lab., is one of the prominent lecturers of this day. His favorite subject is: tiHow I feel since I quit smoking.,, Earl Geisinger has long since developed into a wonderful pugilist. His actions were watched in Valpo by many great fight promoters. It was found that poisons thrown on the face had no effect on this man. Even the terriflie blow of a base-ball hitting him squarely in the mouth did no more than skin 116 , THE IEEEEIREI 1 his lip. This soon put Earl in the ring. He easily beat the mighty VViHard and now stands an undefeated champion. And Parker, Who you remember as King Action in class and Pharmaceuti- cal Association affairs, has written a series of text books to be used by the col- leges. It seems as though he spent his first years after leaving college in a Chemical laboratory of Which he soon became owner. Then he turned his attention to the three PIs HtParkerIS Practical Pharmacyi ,I, Which is soon to put Amy and Remington off the market. Ackerman is Parkefs right hand man and has the job of boss salesman. His gift of gab has W011 many friends for him in Pharmaceutical circles. He is now helping Parker With his Uni- versal Pharmacopoeia. Graves, With Whom silence has still remained golden, has put up his shingle in International Falls Where his host of friends keep him busy filling their wants. He has long since married and his oldest son is now attending Val- paraiso University. His success is due to What is known as ttGravesI Goodbye Gravelf an excellent remedy for gall stones. Last but not least we have the great manufacturing company of Spiker 85 Callaway. This company though new, has had wonderful success. Calla- way states there Will never again be a scarcity of Belladonna, as he and Spike are growing a thousand acres of the drug. The Oracle sighed and became silent. I sat in the caVe a While and then seemed to drift away. I was awakened by a familiar voice saying. ttIt is time to go to classf, I found I had slept the Whole night.

Thru the inhuenee of our Dean a yearts subscription of Meyer ers Druggist was given to each member. t The first social meeting of the association was held in Star Hall, where cheon and speeches from several members and Prof. .Wisner brought. new men in close touch with the upper classmen as well as the professors. as social functions and lectures by such men as J ohn U. Lloyd, Hugh , and Smith did the rest to complete the unity and form a more efficient iation. 'The establishment of the Pharmaceutical Librafy was probably our great- aehievement. With the financial help of Mr. Kinsey and Dean Timmonst ledge of books we obtained a very practical and useful collection. Altho destroyed nearly all of this library we are on the road to another one as good and thru the excellent set of officers coming in next year this 'not only be accomplished, but greatly improved upon. l '1; one of the later meetings we voted to be represented in the annual and 'eeided to give certificates of membership to the Ph. G. graduates. As ht compensation for the valuable work of C. J . Ackermann, the Associa- szmembers agreed that the cash prize for the greatest effort toward further- he V. U. Ph.

OMEONE has said: Hsociety is the mechanism of human relation- ' ship. It spreads itself over the world, diffusing either the l essence of honor and Virtue 0r tainting and polluting men by its 1 foul-toueh. Let society be clean and pure and it becomes a mentor f01j good. Like the gentle rain upon the parched ground, it spreads 'enign influence over the barren fields of life. It not only brings out the ' best that is in a man7s soul, but it inspires him to self-culture, thus advanc- ' he individual. 7 The two great thoughts of individual and social culture are closely related. individual is the great chain of society. Its strength and its character 7 rmined by the weakest link . The culture of the individual 1s the exponent of society. Dep1ive him of i and you disorganize the mechanism of human relationship. General re uplifts the individual and makes him the basis of true society. If man ds pre-eminent above society, making it follow him, he leaves his impress the annals of time as the most potent factor in the regulation of conduct. Note the progress of the world. In the misty past, man existed solely , e state. The mother reared her boy for the army, to serve the eapriee gs, thus, individuality was unknown in common life and manis ability evershadowed by false dogmas. But true worth was discovered by , education and Christianity. Man immediately arose from the condi- f'ef intellectual and spiritual servitude unto the divine realization of ridual capacity. The present high standard of society is due to this ibpment. M' an is the impress of the Divine. The hand that created and formed all :3 bestowed upon him the grandest giftethe power to reason. HOW er'ful are the faculties of man! In the very image of Jehovah, he goes . to devise and execute. HOW incomplete the world Without him! How Aaseed, the weakest in nature, yet in thought the strongest! His facilities wers must be employed or like the mechanism of a Jane machine they be destroyed by disuse Work is the preventative 0f decay,eit is the . Man must be lifted from the sensual. He has silently advanced from the 011s modes of life to the palaces of the cultured. Manis desires and tes are-his worst enemies. They control him, if given the reins. Maii ' sight of the ideals of life by indulging his appetites. The manaeles 0f habits must be broken or man Will be ousted from his proper sphere. I can be accomplished by education and intercourse With superior minds. . st live under the infiuenee of men and women whose lives, lighted by e deeds7 shine as stars of the first magnitude. 131 l q THE 131;:an ' I Manis mind must be untrammeled. He who tampers with the mind meddles with G0d7s own. Great minds live alone in the realms of truth. Therefore they feed on that which is pure and holy, growing because of such uplifting influences. That man is cultured who can rise above material things . and overcome the baser desires of life. Such a person Will not tremble at the beck and whim of caste; he guards his own with zealous care. He loves as God loves and seeks repose in the flowery fields of truth. It is by the education of the individual that the God of avarice is dethroned. Therefore we must have individual culture if society is to stand the storm of time. By it the storm clouds of war that fill the world with sorrow, will be banished. By it our souls will no longer be harrowed by the cry of the God of War. Shall we say, HOn with your lyddite and your shrapn nel and canister and grape; bring on your swords and bayonets; tear, ravage, pillage, burn. Fill up the trenches with the dead and wounded, incarnadine the fields with the blood of our best men, scatter them like chaff before the burning whirlwind, fill the homes with sorrow and with groans.H N01 Let us follow the divine teachings of Christ and erase such records from the pages of history. Society needs men whose hearts are pure; whose lives are untarnished; Whose purposes glow with the fervor of their souls. She needs men who can- not be bought and sold at a political auction; men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; yea, men in whom character shines like a diamond set in pure .gold; men whose lives impress the world because they become truly cultured. itAh God, for a man with heart, head, hand Like some of the simple ones gone Forever and forever by, One still strong in a blatant land Whatever they call him, what care I? Aristocrat, democrat, autocrateone Who can rule and dare not lieW It was the desire for culture and individuality that brought us within the walls of Valparaiso University. We have acquitted ourselves as becomes college men and women. We have acquired from it not only the power to , think, but we have acquired individuality. And now the time has come for us to say, iiFarewell,7 t0 the friends and . scenes of these four years. We shall not be able to live again a period more i profitable to us, nor be associated with friends who will take as much interest in our welfare as have those of the last four years. When we faltered they were ready to give us their aid. In the future we must wholly rely upon ourselves. There will be none to come to our assistance. Then we will be ' alone in the battles of life. To the Honorable Dean George W. Neet and members of the Faculty; ' the burden is now imposed upon me to say iiFarewellXi to you. When I look 132 from the pages of the text books you assigned us to study. This is, after all, the true means of teaching us to think; the true means of developing in us it 'Ve not been disappointed. We respect you for your attainments in scholar- ' ip and for your noble devotion to a calling which is, by no means, profitable a financial sense. And finally we honor you for the nobility of your lives; tar your earnestness and enthusiasm. These things have given us inspiration 5nd a hope that perehance, we may take away with us some of them as the st part of our equipment for the work of life. . Classmates: The time is soon at hand when I must say, ttFarewelLi, 101' four years we have studied together with the same ambitions and with t e same hopes. We trust the bonds of friendshipaso firmly forged as we :ggled side by side for the goal we have now reached,emay never weaken, L it may grow stronger and stronger each day.

LILLIAN M. WALTERS. ; ISTORY is the struggle of a people for higher life as manifested l by events to some degree and in part known by records. Surely the desire for higher life, the instinct to ttProgress, mans distinc- f tive mark alone? had no slight influence in leading some twenty- hve young men and women to what is so soon to be their Alma . Mater. Our history is not long; our struggle has been a peaceful one ; our events not too numerous, but let us hope, worth while. Only a small part of our struggle has been recorded. 7 It is of no small gratification to know that our number has increased rather than diminished during the year. We began with only two of the fair sex in our midst but three more have felt the value of our course and made us five. We have among us several married men and at least a round dozen in the prospective class. Our year has been one of pleasant times. Our class meetings and elec- ; tions have been most praiseworthy. Even when the love of ornamentation with the weaker sex prompted to the selection of a bit of class jewelry, the men folks offered their worthy suggestions and assisted in selecting a pleasing . design. We7re pleased with our rings and pins. .- Although our spirit has ever been a democratic one, our same oflicers have been reinstated for the last three succeeding terms. Every one has given his ready services to the president of our class to make whatever attempted of a social nature a success. We are all fairly well acquainted and get no small pleasure from our daily associations on and off the campus. We hope we have learned something, too. If we have gotten some idea of what education is and what it should do. we have learned something. Surely we can keep before us no more beautiful thought than that embodied in the :- motto we as a class have chosen, HEducation is Life? Let us hope that as teachers we may stand for ta system of education adapted to social needs, inspired by the ideals of rational living and social service. May we realize that we cannot create, that we can only stimulate and lead out, knowing what the poet meant when he said, tiTruth is within ourselves. l7 ' And now it is all nearly over. We would wish these last weeks to be' longer than the preceding ones. But they must pass and in leaving we wouldx' say, we love our Dean who ever encourages the love of truth, the love of beauty; and the love of goodness. The men and women who really care, love Mr. Neet for his sincerity, his earnestness and his kindness to his students. Each of us, perhaps, can never be what seems to us now most desirable. We can find happiness, however, in just being good men and good women whose highest aim is to love and serve humanityeto grow. 134 t dering one eve in the twilight, J, was weary and 111 at ease; my footsteps loitered idly ong the briars and leaves. W not where I was going, r What I was thinking then, my footsteps carried me onward, ep down in a gloomy glen. h a start, I suddenly found me a dark, long, cave-like hall, sat an old witch with her caldron, d beside her a monstrous puff-ball. THE IEEEIJRU GLASS PROPHECY. HELEN H. NEET. Glancing upward she beckoned; Quoth she, ttIn this monstrous ball Are the future fates of your classmates? And she bade me leave the hall. Moving onward as hidden, I heard a puff like escaping steam; And glancing at my precious burden Was enveloped in a hazy gleam. Before me in rapid succession Passed a strange kaleidoscope scene, And in the queer figures I recognized My classmates of 1916. . applause from a crowd of young lady onlookers. It certainly needed the inscription uPRAGEYS SCHOOL FOR GIRLSt't to tell who it was. A footnote explained that the Seniors in the school were ting their beloved Professor thru a course of gymnastics for the purpose du'cing his weight. The scene shifted slightly and showed no other than J . B. Coburn, Pro- ' r of Literature in the same college, coming across the campus, surrounded 315a bevy of young girls with whom he was laughing and making merry. ' A suffragette parade passed before my eyes at the head of which was Miss Yeung, famous militant suti'ragist. In rapid succession passed Views showing a large library with Chris. er industriously studying some ancient works, as assistant in scientific , ch work for a famous university; D. P. Reynolds at the editors desk prominent school journal; Miss Walter, propounding before a learned e'nce her Views of the inhabitability of Mars ; Bruno Bungshe at his desk, in his work as secretary to one of the famous educators of the time. A page from a newspaper appeared before my eyes, the first page from New York Herald, on which were three large photographs with the follow- Tinscription beneath: ftThe two opposing lawyers, Ollie C. Reeves and . White, in the famous Mitmilten case and Judge Chas. MeMullen, who render the verdietf, ,- Closely following one another appeared interiors of classrooms. The was the interior of a gymnasium in a woman7s college and drilling a class 135 V THE IEEEDRU 1 in physical culture, was none other than Carrie Moorman. Next was a class: room in a college of the sunny south, on the door of which it stated HRoom 97, L. E. Johnson, Dean of the Educational Department.H The next one was strangely familiar but I could not place it for some time. Then I saw G. C. Chostner standing in front lecturing to a class and I suddenly recognized it as old Room H at Valparaiso University with G. C. Chostner, Head of the Pharmacy Department, taking the place of Dean Timmons who had passed away some years before. Last was a view of the office of the Superintendent of Schools in a town not far from old Valpo and I recognized in the busy figure seated at the desk Frank Hiokner. The next scene very nearly proved to be my Waterloo. It was a scene in a wide thoroughfare of one of our large cities. An automobile dashed up to the curb, a small, middle-aged man jumped out and in feverish haste come menoed to set up his camera, which was completed in time to snap the last tail end remnants of a passing parade. There was something strangely familiar about that figure but not till he turned around with a gesture of despair did I recognize our loyal classmate Wm. C. Trumbower, still last but not least. As he gathered up his things and stepped into the ear the chauifeur turned to speak and in that fleeting glimpse of his face I recognized Embert i Le Laeheur. The scene changed to one of our large European cities. Leisurely walking across one of the crowded streets was Samuel R. Parks, now stoop-shouldered and gray-haired, with a couple of musty books and an umbrella under one arm and eagerly pouring over an open book held in his hands, seemingly unmindful in his pursuit for knowledge of the yells of the people, the whistle of the policeman, the jingle of the street car bell and the honks of the auto- mobiles. I closed my eyes in fear and when I again opened them it was upon . a View of a political conference in that same European city, in Which the speaker, Mr. Young, representative from the United States, was forcibly presenting his Views. A mountain View in the beautiful mountains of Virginia, a rude mountain ' house, then a View of the interior rapidly unfolded themselves before my eyes. It was a church with twenty devoted members in the congregation who listened eagerly to every word of their beloved pastor Rev. W. M. Nutter. From the beauties of the mountains I was led down into the heart of the slums of one of our largest cities. In the doorway of one of the lowliest , homes stood Ellen Molinder, in the dress of a settlement nurse. Standing talking to her, with a case in his hand on which was stamped, itDr. R. A. Roberts, M. D., Settlement Physician, stood our old classmate. Again the scene changed to across the waters, this time to distant China. In one of the masters patiently laboring with his many pupils in a Chinese, Mission School at Pekin, I recognized B. C. Shankland, a little grayer and a little older perhaps, but the same old HShank,H who looked as if teaching agreed with him. 136 THE 1;;5 EIRL'I I was carried now, back to the farm. Just passing into the gateway of rge farm were a couple of tired, dusty farmers, and it was not until they - off their hats to wave to someone passing along the highway, that I ,ggnized my old classmates, S. A. Rifenburegh and Geo. Ranow. They had the call back to the farm and were new partners on one of the largest and equipped farms of the middle west. - The scene faded away and all was blank. Mentally I ran hastily down t of classmates. Where is Edward Rotering, I wonder, thot I. Suddenly .ed before me a newspaper clipping. ttOne of the foremost cartooners joke editors of the day is Edw. A. Rotering, associated with one of the ing San Francisco papers. The Vision was rapidly fading and I had a last fleeting glimpse of a nan, compelled, under strong guard, to read her own poetry, which con- d in the main of introductions to prophecies. 77!; ARTIDT fills PEnicEEug sfoomj 137 H THE EEEURD - I TO THE CLASS A.

WM. 0. TRUMBOWER. ,1 ESS than three years ago a prince of the House of Hapsburg was stricken down by the hand of an assassin in the little Balkan t0wn of Sarajevo, and when the report was flashed round the world from coast to coast and from capitol to capitol, the world but scarcely paused, and the calamity was recorded by the newspapers ew passing words, as but another chapter in the tragic history of that ill- royal family. A few weeks later we were rudely roused from our peace- dream by the blare of bugles 0n the Rhine, the thunder 0f mobilizing n ery and cavalry in Poland, and the simultaneous drop of stocks in Wall ' t. We stood appalled, as a sleeper awakening in a new world which we - either believed a thing of the past, 01' but the idle vision of some poet. vrubbed qur eyes and watched with bated breath the German legions 11g irresistibly onward through Belgium, rolling back in wave on wave llied armies, back to the very gates of Paris itself. Was it a dream or 7 reality? 'After two years of this titanic struggle in which the best blood of the ' 6 World has been shed, we are but just becoming fully awake, we are just i sang to realize that it is not a dream but a fearful reality and now we oming to see that even we may be involved in the struggle. And yet ing as we do on the brink of this fearful maelstrom we hear on every those false prophets of peace who cry out against effective preparedness .36, they tell us,' such preparation will lead us inevitably into militarism wKl'estroy the very foundation of the Democracy. :Early in the strife we were informed by certain writers that the Allies were g our light, were tiighting the battle of Democracy against Militarism what the speedy overthrow of Militarism would result in a wonderful al and extension of Democracy. We were quick to respond with the teristie American shudder at the name of Militarism and threw 0111 in the air in true J effersonian style at the mention of our national shibo- Democracy. Ah! Democracy, what a name to rouse us from the sloth 0f l ignorance and social superstition, a name that has thrilled the hearts Vn'erieans from the days of Washington and Adams down to the very .at, a name that has lost none of its potency with advancing age, and 3113 today the name of names to move us to tears or to the deeds of heroes. W hat is Democracy? I know of no better definition than that penned by eatest American. It is a definition that has stood the test of time and . , nLg conditions and stands today as true as when enunciated 0n the , mable held of Gettysburg. It is HA government of the people by the le and for the peoplefi It is a disposition on the part of a people not 139 l THE 1:1; :EI'RMun .1 only to participate equally in the management of government and to share? equally in the benefits, but even more, it is that disposition to share and share alike in the burdens, deprivations, and sacrifices that are the price of self- government. It means more than the payment of taxes, it means more than . the loss of property through the devastating hand of war, it means that wei- will share gladly t0 the last full measure of devotion by the loss of life itself; t martyrs, if need be to the sacred cause of Democracy, defenders of a free people, and be able to say like Nathan Hale HMy only regret is that I have but one life to give for my Country. i7 That, I say is a true Democracy and no other, and when a people cease to have this fundamental disposition, then. will Democracy be dead. Let us turn now to Militarism. What is Militarism? It is a term which. has been used so frequently of late and in such diverse meanings that it will be well to pause as in the ease of Democracy and see a reasonable definition. The one which seems to me to be most consistent with the facts of the case is that found in Websteris Dictionary. It is, that disposition to provide for the- strength and safety of a nation or a government by maintaining strong mili- tary forces. This then is the terrible spectre which we are solemnly told, is the cause of the present struggle. This is the dread monster that is about, to overtake us should we fail to heed the warnings of the Pacifists and turn at last to the duty of providing adequate defense. But we are told that: Militarism implies so much more. Yes, it does imply at least one thing and! that no less than a true spirit of patriotism in the hearts of the people. Further it may be said to imply some form of universal or, if you please, some form of' democratic military service, a service which shall be borne equally by all alike. Let us democratize our Army and Navy just as we have democratized the ballot, then and then only will we have a system of defense against which no:- enemy will dare advance. The prevalent conception of Militarism as implying. the cultivation of a swaggering military caste, superior to the civil authorities and a continual eyesore to a democratic community is, I believe, quite th'E-Z-f wrong conception, for in those countries in which such a condition exists7 it is largely traceable to some other social or economic cause, the connection with the military system being merely a coincidence. I And in conclusion let me reiterate that from an impartial standpoint; a standpoint unprejudiced by political dogma or social superstitions we shall find these two terms to be the same in their fundamental meaning. The supposed incompatibility is I believe merely the result of a mind prejudiced by a misconception of both. Let me ask you again, is there anything undemo- cratic in the idea of universal military service? Is it undemocratic to expect. that every citizen shall bear his share in the common duty of defending his country, while he takes as his birthright the privilege of the ballotd.2 Nayli rather, it seems to me to be the most undemocratic ideal which calls upon only the few to serve their hag, either in times of peace or in times of war. Has it become so great a burden then, in this twentieth century to bear each 140 THE lggcnRu one his part in the sacred duty of defending the flag that our fathers and fatherst fathers suffered and died for, or have we only been lulled into that sweet but deadly slumber 0f fearless, trustful, preparedness that takes patriot- ism as a matter of course? Arise! ye sons of the Revolution, ye sons of Patriots t0 the call of your nation and if universal service to our fiag be Militarism then give us Militarism and When we have it we Will have a truer, stronger, Democracy. 141 THE REEDREI IEIE PCLB 143 7 f .

THE 135:5:an PRESIDENTS ADDRESS. EARL D. DEAN. 4.:G. B. CLASS of Valparaiso University, Members of the Faculty, '1 Comrades 0f the Class of 1916, Ladies and Gentlemen: No one can look into the faces of a company of students like this without thinking first of all, Of the great number of other lives whose love and sacrifice are represented here. Almost every single life which enters our University is the focus of interest for a whole domestic circle, whose prayers and anxieties, whose hopes and ambitions are turning toward this place from every region of this great land. Out from behind this graduating class stands in the background a cloud of witnesses in whose presence we meet. There are the fathers earning and saving, that their children may have a better chance than they; there are the mothers with their prayers and sacrifices, and the humble homes with their daily deeds of self-denial for the sake of their children. As we met together day after day, we were never alone. We were the center of a great company of observent hearts. And then, behind us all, there is the still larger fellowship of. the past, the historic traditions ofrthe University, the men who have adorned it, the inheri- tances into which we freely enter, the witnesses of a long and honorable associated life, Now this great company of witnesses does two things for us. On the one hand, it brings responsibility. Every work of the past is incomplete unless the present sustains it. We are responsible for this tradition. We inherit the gift to use or to mar. But, on the other hand, the cloud of witnesses is what contributes courage. It sustains us to know that we represent so much confidence and trust. As we approach the close of our college training, it is but natural that . we should feel a certain degree of satisfaction and pride. Yet with it all, there is mihgled a touch of sadness. Shall we forget the escapades, the eccentricities of student and teacher, the voices echoing in shout and song, the many pleasures, many never-to-be-forgotten days, friends from whom we cannot part without sincere regret and sorrow? When the last tthood-bye is said, shall we forget all these? N0, the sons and the daughters of Valparaiso Will not forget. From near and far, pledges of fealty will return with undiminishing . frequency. Missives, fragrant with holiest sentiments will convey assurances ' that fires of devotion burn on the countless altars of many climes. Names V embellished with the honors of Church and State, heralded for their triumphs V. in mart and mine, will witness to the undeniable value of her faithful teachings. ' 152 THE 1351;551:131: 11 The achievements of her children in numerous walks of life will constitute the lustrous crown upon the brow of her adored maternity. And now, crowned with honor, laden with wisdom, decked with diplomas, and standing in the TTwhite light of publicity, we modestly sayefarewell. Yet though the race is won, though we stand proudly with the ViCtOIHS wreath, v our retrospective gaze still lingers fondly over the scenes so dear to us. The inevitable march of events is pushing us still ahead, and even the last milepost begins to gleam indistinetly. The pleasant race with its honest competition and its friendly association is over, and in closing, I can think of no better words for our lifeTs motto, than the following lines taken from Emerson: ttThou must be true thyself, If thou the truth would teach; The soul must overfiow, If thou another soul would reach; It needs the overflowing heart To give the life full speech. Think truly, and thy thought Shall the worlde famine feed; Speak truly, and thy word Shall be a fruitful seed; Live truly, and thy life shall be A great and noble creed.H 1- i THE 1.1;:an i l 3.. PG. B. CLASS HISTORY y16. WILLIAM T. DOUGLAS. lN LOOKING back over our few brief years spent at Valparaiso. in preparation for immediate teaching or further pursuit of college - work, we mid that great changes have come over each one of us and over the class as an organization. Out of a chaotic assembly of eager freshmen has developed a well organized body of men and women whose outlook upon life has been greatly broadened. Each member of the class feels his or her responsibility in life in a more definite way and is better prepared to meet it. In this brief sketch only the important events of this, our last college year, can be mentioned. The class made a fortunate selection for their president in J . D. Wallis, who ably served the class the nrst and second terms. Mr; Wallis was succeeded a by Earl D. Dean. There has been much to be done these last two terms and the class feels indebted to Mr. Dean for his untiring energy in dealing with these problems. Our class is proud of the active and important part it played in the basket ball contest. The Educationals and Engineers united their strength. It is, true that the honors 0f the season went to our foremost rivals, the combined machine of Pharmics and Medics, but the race was so close that we had. gathered the material for a bonfire and arranged a parade. The Educationals who did notably good work on the team, and of whom we are especially proud, are: Ryan, Webb, Lauden and Taylor. Professor Neet did not appear in; the Hline upit but he went as far as the rules would permit. During the winter term the class held a genuine get-to-gether social jointly with the TA. B37 class.- Professor Shideler, Professor Ellis and Pro- fessor Black each gave a short address and added much to the entertainment and general goodfellowship of the evening. The happy spirit in which everyl' one entered the games and the various devices of amusement were the most noticeable features and caused all a most enjoyable evening. t4 It was rumored that some of the girls wished non-members to be admitted V to the picnic to be held early in July. When a vote was taken it was found' that three young men constituted the entire opposition to the exclusive pianist, Of course it is possible that the girls were too bashful to vote, but we rather. doubt it. We are sorry that a few of the members were unable to remain with us ' until the end, but trust they will each return to complete the course later or continue their work elsewhere. It is with a feeling of gratification that we welcome many of the ilOld 154 f - THE 17;; Ean 1. . ,ts Who have returned to our class after a more 01' less brief absence 'fhe University. ere are many to Whom we feel grateful for holding us to our work ing a helping hand of encouragement When most needed, however, Ithat we are especially fortunate to have enjoyed the loyalty and help an Neet has extended previous classes and we earnestly hope that there many succeeding classes to benem by his guidance and love. 6330 CLAS S PREPARtIDNESS. 155 1 THE 17;; cum: 1 PREPAREDNESS. BENJ. S. BURKETT. Classmates, Ladies and Gentlemen: 17. N THIS closing period of our college career we are more apt to allow the mind to act retrospectively, happily dwelling upon pleasant experiences of the past, than we are to allow it to foresee the duties that await us as we leave this noble Institution. Each individual has his own hobbies as well as his own eoeentrieities swinging pendulum-like from extreme to extreme. The cultural development which has been so generously and effectively imparted to us has not led us to entertain the same Views of the complexity of the problematic conditions of civilization. But there is one thing that every true and countryn . loving individual is constrained to stand for and that is iiAmerieaX, How shall we stand for our wonderful and irreproaehable country? The answer to this question is, ttpreparednessfi Never in the history of America has the slogan of preparedness occupied as much space in the newspapersi columns as it has since that sanguinary tragedy which began in Europe in 1914. The word preparedness will cause the ears of tipeace-at-any-pricei, men to prick up. You may wonder why I stand for preparedness when there is so great a number of anti-preparedness people in this land of America. The reason is a simple one. How can we be for America and yet not protect her? President Washington, in his message to Congress, August 20, 1780, had this dictum, HIt is an old maxim that the surest way to make a good peace is: to prepare for warf, Washington was a statesman, and an able president. He stood for those principles upon which rest the American Democracy. When we reject the idea that the preparation for war is wrong, we assert that Washingtonis demand for trained men was unwise, and that his fighting was in vain. The liberty that we now enjoy was given by those whose patriotie blood trickled from veins of those loyal countrymen upon the bloody battle- field. War is hell. But if a principle that will endure until the end of time can be gained by battle, even if it cost the lives of a nation7 it is worth the cost We delight in boasting of the Stars and Stripes that waves over every spot from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and from the northern boundary to the Gulf! But because the peace element have gone into the closet, closed the door, and amuse themselves by singing, HI didnit raise my boy to be a soldier? Old Glory has had to seek her final resting place beneath the turbulent waves of,- the Atlantic Ocean. America has always been considered the land of the free7 and an asylum for those who were unable to find peace and protection under the oriental monarchies. The little band of puritans that fled from a 156 4f THE ggcnR : ' l d country, and found their way into the wilderness of New England re sole purpose of establishing a form of government under which religious In would be enjoyed, taught us the expediency of preparedness. They did not think that they were Vielating any divine laws by equipping selves with a musket and ammunition before starting to their places of one worship on the Sabbath day, Times have changed since the early njal days, but the principle for which civilization has striven will never x-e. If this nation has established its democracy through the shedding of i, and has made the rapid strides toward a nation of perfection that it why are we so averse to the most important aspect of the country's e? 1That democracy and preparedness are dependent one upon the other vmly seems to be one of the familiar maxims. The citizenry of any democ- ean not retain a proper degree of dignity, occupy an elevated sphere of and demand respect from other nations unless it is in a state of military ies which might at any time become covetous. , 1' on have had pictured to you an ideal democracy by some of the leading eloquent orators of this land. That democracy was one that would exist ithe millennium; a criterion, no mother need raise her boy to be a soldier, individual would be a peace-at-any-price citizen, and war would be too even to have a prediction fall from the lips of a ttBryanistic prophet, WilsonianH seer. his country is not one of aggression and therefore does not need a large 3 or Navy. Let us turn our eyes southward to the Mexican territory. itizens have been slaughtered by the scores in Mexico, and not in that try only, but upon the American soil. The flag which we love, and for ' our forefathers shed their lifeis blood, has been hauled down from the . staE and trodden into the sand by barbaric tribes. 1 ur diplomatic relations have been sorely neglected, and conducted in :a pusillanimous manner that the whole country has been placed in a state eplorable humiliation, simply because the nation was too inadequately ed to defend its rights. The principal ground for objections to preparedness is the phenomenal The history of the world has manifested to us the fact that it is abso- necessary for the welfare of any nation that it should at all times be red to repel any possible invasion. It is more economical to maintain ll trained army, and a large and effective navy than it is to prepare men nd and sea after the foe is in possession of a country. When all the i, n; of the earth agree upon universal peace we can rightly advocate small ment, but no one country can bring about a stable peace among the mm of the earth. That therels a fighting instinct in man is evident, and orated by every generation since the creation of man. I am aware that this is not a warring nation. Yet let us scan the annals 157 I 'f THE ggcn-Rn H i and we shall find that for every four and one-half years of peace that America has enjoyed, she has spent one year in war. We cannot maintain a permanent democracy unless there is an adequate amount of military power to prevent any possible fee from infringing upon the rights of the people that compose the democracy. Because of an inadequate supply of men and armament, General Washington was compelled shamefully to retreat across the Delaware. The bloody struggle 0f 61 was prolonged because of non-preparedness; and similarly the Franeo-German War, J apanese and Russian conflict. T0 the peace-at-any-priee men the maintenance of a large army and navy is bringing into action the steam-roller to crush a toad. But if we expect to maintain our place among the great powers of the world it is evident that the entire citizenry must eliminate all partisan differences and unite into one single unit. We must center our entire efforts upon making a more ideal America, and prepare to protect the Red-White-and-Blue Banner that is now waving over the most enlightened and most ideal democracy in the world. 158 , , THE 1:51:51:an 5-1 GLASS PROPHECY. KATHARINE HAWTHORNE KENDALL. Y EARLIEST recollections are of recognition of the differences between other people and myself. I have always possessed a power of foresight, a clarity of Vision.

Later we met the groom, the foctor Burkett. From St. Louis we went to Chicago. On our visit to riversity we saw some familiar faces, those of Bertha Lind and Leora her, both teaching German in the Department of Dead Languages at Western. Mrs. Ellis also greeted us after the speech, and Mary Belle irited as of old, despite the cares of a family. . Middleton, who is busy in working problems in the Fifth Dimension toner to our class, as was Rhea Krukes masterly solution of the hitherto 159 t THE 1;; EURET' g-t-W 'g unsolved Fourth Dimension. At the University they told us of an interesting; lecture on Marxian Socialism given the previous week by Professor Isad gr Molk. We were invited to dine with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hunt, at their deligh 1 ful home on Drexel Boulevard. The evening was a very pleasant one. Me McLeod, Mr. Hunt7s business partner was there, as was Mr. Noble, a wealth retired farmer who had moved into town. Our host told us of his busi, success, won by establishing a factory for the manufacture of articles former ttmade in Germany? but which since Germany was wiped out of existen in 1917, were Mmade in AmericaW Presently little Pauline appeared, attire in a sailor blouse and showed us one of the bisque dolls manufactured by t hrrn of Hunt 8L McLeod. Next morning we left Chicago for Valpo, and go it was to see the 01d place the hardly recognizable. Here we found Foe Bredon, M. A. occupying the chair of Sagerology, ably assisted by Profess: Edith Norman. In the evening we went down to Sehellingjs Music Hall find that it had Changed hands and was now owned by Martin Morrissey. T. picture shown was a Keystone Comedy and the actress featured was Doro Hartmann, whom we were told had been Director of the Y. W. C.

Upon inquiry at the office, the news was forthcoming that Valma Lutz' 1 married a farmer in North Dakota who had made a fortune in wheat that they possessed three motor- ears, two aeroplanes and had a home ttwith the modern inconveniences. After a jolly visit in Valpo, our party was forced to depart eastward our tour. When we reached Baltimore, Ringling7s Circus was there. D: ing recreation from our arduous campaign duties, we went for an eve , performance. When the 'procession of clowns appeared, there was someth familiar about the gait of the foremost one. Frantically I clutched Edna,t she turned to me, and with one accord we gasped, itWhy, that,s Glen An son. ,7 And a mirth provoking clown he was.

From the hearth-stone around which linger the recollections of our mother, from the fireside where our father awaits us, come all the purity, all the hope, and all the courage with which we fight the battle of life. The great responsibility of this generation, with all our boasted modernism, is that of seeing to it that the brains of other ages shall not have passed away in vain. We shall take what the present offers, but we should not throw away what other men, in other ages, have died for the sake of discovering. We should keep the past constantly in mind, and profit by the lessons of history. For there is no glory in being wiser than the original savage; there is glory in being Wiser than the original sage. But in order to be wiser than him, we must have a shrewd suspicion of how wise he was, and without culture, that suspicion will never be ours. We, my fellow classmates, who go forth from this University into the world, have had a peculiar advantage. We have had the benefit of teachers skilled in all branches of learning. We go forth not alone to make money, but whether we wish it or not, each of us shall be a factor for good or for evil in some eOmmunity of this great land. We have much given unto us, and from us the world will demand much in return.

H. Miller, our able Class oratox,, had shouted forth in a voice of thunder that though the Americas could be torn apart by the man of science, though the constellations may be hurls; through space by the hand of God, yet our globe was too small to separate;1 and the elements too weak to sever the Seientifics 0f Nineteen Sixteen from' loyality and devotion to the school of our choice, nor should the years compel 1 : to forget. We spent several days viewing the canal, and Visiting and disc 1 ing olden days with Vitkus. Then we passed on to the endlof our sea voyage; Los Angeles, California. We had had a stormy day and some sea-weed had? been lashed upon the deck. Just as we had drawn in all sails and were abot to leave the boat, Mann slipped upon the weeds and had a painful fall down: a short flight of steps. I aided him to the city hospital. The first person we met at the hospital was the head surgeon, and 01;: Valpo classmate, E. H. Miller. Miller had become terribly fieshy. He said was from over-work. He had at that time been head of the hospital stalf f nine years and was burdened with the cumbersome duty of deciding which his assistants was most able to handle each particular case, or of accepting cg. bountiful fee for the information that the patient was in too advanced a stag? to stand treatment Chapman Reynolds was his most able assistant, and tie his care Mann was assigned. Chapman had his parlors adorned with diplom 4 and certificates. He pointed with pride to his degree 1n medicine from J0 Hopkins, to his award from Illinois for his ability to make a new man of all subject, Spaniard or Swede within fifteen minutes. But dearest of all th- treasures was his Bachelor of Science of Nineteen Sixteen. After a few sho weeks, Mann decided to return with his ship, while, after a sorrowful partin from himself, Miller, and Reynolds, and all good wishes for continued success I set out overland for Washington. I dropped off the train at Tucson, Arizona, to spend the evening with old frientf. As we left the station, we found the streets blocked by an imme crowd assembled before an improvised meeting-house. My friend informed in that there an Evangelistic meeting was being held. I said surely it mus Billy Sunday to attract such an audience. But he said no, that it was 0' . Bro. Williams. Sure enough, Carl 0. Williams. But why should I be $11 prised?

He said that upon graduation in medicine, he became worn by the demand upon his skill. He was advised to take a two year rest. .yJ. Albert was never built for idleness, so he secured a conductoris job to It the monotony of his long vacation. WUpon my arrival in Washington, I was both surprised and delighted to Henry Naab 0n the Cabinet as Attorney General. He heard that I was t to be re-called, but said that his chief was determined. The most strik- ' eeuliarity about Naab was that he had become a confirmed woman hater. gald that he rarely discussed it, but that he would tell me why. He told he was bashful in his youth, how he looked forward with great expecta- to his college year of Nineteen Sixteen, how instead of the gentle maidens yg about his handsome personage, not a ruflie could be inticed into our rious department. In spite of his chiefis boasted equality between 173 . I THE EEEED-R'D E ' h sexes, Naab confided to me that he was convinced that no woman was happy until her Iove-stricken protector had prostrated himself at her feet, and this Naab should never do. The girls were dismissed, and Naab7s glory and my humiliation for- gotten in his suggestion that we spend the evening at the Metropolitan. He said that he had a little surprise in store for me. But I must confess that I had become about immune to surprises. After such a season of events fol- IOWing close upon my quiet life in the service beyond the sea, I might have expected sooner or later to come face to face With the last, and perhaps the most famous, of that famous twelve of Nineteen Sixteen, F. P. Eshleman. And here he was in the Metropolitan as Opera director, holding the same posi- tion as Mahler and Weingartner had held in Vienna. Eshleman had just returned from Paris, Whither he had gone to direct the first French perform- ance of the Die Fledermaus at the Theatre des Varietes. He told us that just as he was about to set out from Paris7 he received a telegram from Gustav Mahler offering him a position as repetiteur at the Vienna Opera, and another from Angelo Neumann, the famous impresario at Prague asking him to accept an engagement at his theatre. But his heart yearned for the Amer- ican shores, and both offers he regretfully declined. We three spent a pleasant hour after the evenings performance, recount- ing olden days, and discussing the whereabouts of the other Iads as best I remembered. We parted late in the evening after many a toast to the great glory and continued success of the Valpo U. and the Scientific Class of Nine- teen Sixteen. .15 '1 . . THE REESEEIRU GRIT.

LASSMATES: This is the commencement of our lives. We have finished our school course and now We are ready to enroll in the great school of Life. I may illustrate in the following proverb,- ilSow a thought,-reap an action; Sow an action,ereap a habit; Sow a habit,ereap a character; Sow a character,vreap a destinyll7 What a big thought it is that from this time on we have the shaping of our destinies in our own hands. All these years of our student life we have been receiving and not giving, now comes the time that we must give. Life has been showering upon us its best gifts. While it is true that we have justly earned a certain portion of all that we have attained, there is a great deal of that subtle inner development, that gradual day-by-day character building, for which we are still indebted to all the influences, both seen and unseen, that have been brought to bear upon us through all these years. We stand at the very gateway of life7s activities, prepared by years of careful, painstaking instruction, and watchful, ever-vigilant guidance, for the strug- gle with real, vital existence that awaits us on the outer side. The world will at once commence to look for us to pay back into its treasury the wealth of good things it has for so long been bestowing upon us. The world will never once let us forget the cost of lifeethe constant expense that must be metathe unfailing price that must be paid for every gift-not in dollars and cents, but in service, in faithfulness to duty, in the uplift of our neighboreyes, some- times, perhaps, in unavailing pain and heartache and tears. Classmates7 is this a hard way to look at it? It should not be. To us it should be a most inspiring thought, for it sets absolutely no limit to the possibilities of our attainment. It is all to be just what we really want it to be. It is all to bring us just what we are willing to pay to gain what we desire. We can have just what we will, for life itself will not say iiNo W when we come with the required fee in our hands, not as a beggar, but as a purchaser who knows what he wants, and considers it worth the price that is demanded. SO, as we leave our Alma Mater, let us walk out into the world bravely, with a full realization of all that will be expected of us, but just as full a realization of our own ability to meet every requirement. We have within our own souls the full value of every gift we could possibly crave out of liers great storehouse. There is absolutely nothing too expensive for us to buy with the assets at our disposal. Let us, then, resolve that we will keep our record so stainless, our ideals so lofty and unsullied, our account with life so accurately balanced, as we go, that there will never be any bad debts standing out against us. 186 CLASS HISTORY. EDITH CORNEAU. N writing any history it seems the most natural thing to begin with the first known event, therefore the arrival in this center of learn- , ing of the young men and the women who compose the class of ,16 should necessarily receive first mention. If I were to attempt to go back of that momentous time, my records would be pre-historic z my relation of them purely imaginary or built on the theory of evolution. quently, I, Who know nothing definite about these occurrences will not mpt to report upon them The great majority of the class has worked together, side by side, in st endeavor during the last two years, and a few for three. Those who 1313 three years ago can relate many changes. At that time winter or sum- the rising bell rang at five oieloek announced to all concerned that the work had begun We old timers can smile reminiscently this summer an we see sleepy eyed students grumblingly facing the bright morning ' hine of a summer s day, and recall issuing forth to a sleet covered pavex it on a dark winter s morning. And right loyally we trudged as our Some of our budding musicians of feminine persuasion have yearnings it rd domestic pursuits and it was a true joy to them to see our handsome domestic science building go up with every facility provided for a prac- demonstration of how such yearnings could bear fruit. To those with tenderness for the downy couch, hard though it may be sometimes7 the of chapel from five days a week to three came as an oasis in the desert. e as! for such fond dreams, other things may change but choir practice bn forever. jme changes in the faculty have also come under our observation. 1y all of us can recall Mrs. Roeis unfailing courtesy and sweetness as after term she responded to our choir masterls baton and aided us to am the audience or lack of audience which did or did not assemble in l occasionally, most emphatically not. No one who heard him in chapel a forget Mr. Ingersollls masterly playing of the Violin and his pupils 'ed their appreciation by their careful work. Also, Mrs. Hewitt will live e memory of those who came under her supervision in the days when we keys for our practice rooms and she looked after their distribution and a to the desk during the greater part of three years. Three events of great interest to the young women have occurred. I do Include the young men in this interest for though they are, or should be, ime instigators of events like the ones I am about to mention, they do allow their personal interest in the general cause to be known with the 187 IA ,, , THE 1.1;:an I same freedom as the young women. These events were three marriages which concerned members of the faculty of our department. The first bells to sound were those rung for Mr. and Mrs. Roberts, both well known and thoroughly appreciated faculty members. The next were echoed here from Massachusetts when Mr. Kendrie, whose value to his violin pupils is unquestioned, went there to claim his bride. We all had the pleasure of becoming acquainted in a more intimate manner than would otherwise have been possible with this new member of our busy community, when she took our capable secretary, Miss Gilmoreis place for a few weeks last winter. The last bells to sound with resounding peals were those rung for the daughter of our honored pres- ident when she permitted a Chicago man to take her from our midst, but to the joy of her pupils Mrs. Stephens still retains her place on the faculty. Turning from this glimpse of romance, it is necessary to enumerate some of the work done by the class. Those who have had the valuable experi- ence of rehearsing for the choruses each year, will not easily forget the unfail- ing patience and the easy, gentle wave of Mr. Weaveris baton as he brought to successful performance the required compositions. To all who followed his capable leadership, HThe Golden Legend? iiThe Rose Maiden? WPhe Mes- siahfi and NThe Seasonsi, are not just names, but familiar friends. Neither can anyone who has trodden the mazes of harmony, composition, counterpoint and other theoretical subjects, cease to be grateful to Mr. Chaffee for his skillful untangling of the web. And when so inclined they peruse musical ,journals describing new compositions, such expressions as excellent contre- puntist, fine chord progression, easy modulations, free variations, good periods, etc., appear, they will have a distinct concept of them, these concepts being built up little by little with carefully organized endeavor. When some among us are conducting a chorus of boys and girls; Mr. Robertsi forceful leadership of the choir will come vividly into mind and we too will insist on a good tiattaeki7 and demand that they watch the baton instead of gazing with steady persistance on their music leaflets. Should the names of the early masters of music fall on our ears, or should we hear some of the chants of hymns of these composers we will recall our term of choir practice under Mr. Kendrie and appreciate his effort to awaken a love of really worthy music among his audiences. In their round of work in years to come, the pupils of Mrs. Schuldt, Mr. Nelson and Mr. Loomis will think many times of how they vied with each other in claiming that each had had the most beneht from his or her instruc- tion and many an idea gleaned unconsciously in the various studios will have new birth in the minds of a fresh set starting to travel the road which leads to the goal of true mastery of the art of music. That the friendships formed may ever remain pleasure spots in memory, and that Valpo ideals and Valpo dreams and longings may be amply realized by the entire class is the closing note of this would-be historian. 188 MINOR MUSICAL MUSINGS. IRENE EVANS. w HE man that hath no music in himself, nor is not moved by concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treason, strategems and spoils. Music itself is the melody or harmony of life as heard in nature or art. Through music, primitive man expressed in dance and rhythmical form his individual characteristics. The ancient church ated its lay in marked and pronounced time, for rhythm affects not only mind and body but also the emotions. Then, rhythm was the one domi- ng factor; the essence of combined expression. As music grew in popu- ty and was introduced with the drama, we find a digression from the con- onal forms and expressions, and a development into more modern ideas. v.y we consider music as the foremost of the fine arts. It became so only an man began to study its effects, and to use the various phenomena of sieal sounds to enrich his life. Considering music from an artistis standpoint, we see in it a wealth of uty, a richness of tonal effect that cannot fail to please, and an extensive for the development of individuality. Should not distinct personalities 1t recognition? Artists are only human beings with so-called distinct sonalities, who dare to reveal their individual characteristics and, thus ced with a more intelligent and democratic perspective of life, interpret feelings of others. Dare to be yourself as you really are. Do not hesi- to be iiaffeetedli when you see a reason for it; the crudities of aEectation soon drop away and leave you with a new grace. As an art, music is really appreciated by the majority of the people. But order to appraise it in its true worth, we must recognize the value of the a ledge of the foundations of elementary music. A teacher who inculcates ,love ofmusic into a few boys and girls may be doing more for humanity , a great artist. W'e shall make no real progress in the art in this country i1 We come to consider a training in the rudiments of music to be an essen- point in the education of our children.' A conception of the living arts is as necessary and desirable as the knowledge of the century-old history. 'the middle class of people, the appreciative class, feel a sense of owner- p- Teach them to truly understand the opera, and the iiragtimeii of the x will pass into oblivion. Then, just as military bands inspire to martial r, let the romance of the opera quicken us to further pursuit of lifeis blems with unmitigated enthusiasm. ' ,How can the study of this art be made practical and brought within the ,h of the boys and girls of tomorrow? It is the civic duty of the musicians today; untold dividends might be declared if satisfactory assets could be mad. 0111' philanthropists are encouraging 11s by their generous support 189 v l ' THE IEEEEIRIJ f f'l '1 of all musical enterprises; our society assures us of its quickened interests and gratifying favor by its eager welcome of all artistic performances; the musical people furnish stimuli through their untiring efforts and genial attitude. This demand for a universal musical education need not seem void of all possibility, for it is founded on the very life of the people for Whom it is intended. The inspiration for every composition springs from the interests, ambitions, joys, and sorrows of the general public. Through unified achieve- ments and greater co-operation, the dream of a universal musical generation, susceptible to each and every artistic advancement, may surely be realized. Once established, it Will be retained, for, as has been said, HWhen other arts have passed away, Proud architecture shall in ruin lie, And painting fade and die; Then music alone, triumphant o7er the blaze Shall see the worldls last flame.H rm R 190 f , Tm: 1:15;: W1: CLASS PROPHECY.

Here, an interesting program is taking place. The scene becomes clearer and more Vivid, and I see someone singing. second glance I find this to be Lena Neal taking Sehumann-Heinekis e as leading contralto. In another scene I see a lover and his. maid. if is isnit Ruge Bergstrom, a real Caruso, and Alma Tomlinson, who is known only as Madame Toma. These being the only familiar faces in caste I glance curiously about the large audience. Oh, there in a box I someone elaborately dressed. Methinks she is a society belle. That mensive looking youth, with the twould-bei noblemans air, hovering near makes me think her name is Dorothy Heineman no more. There in the hrst balcony I perceive Emma Cole, and her husband, cele- g their tenth wedding anniversary. Guess she wasnit made to teach c. ' In another box I see two sedate 01d maids sitting with folded hands and ted expressions on their wrinkled faces. In spite of their poke bonnets cork screw curls, I recognize them as Florence Fox and Ruby Hateher. hence seems to enjoy a life of single blessedness, even tho she is no Greener. I The fire dies down and again I strike up my dirge,- tiDouble, double Toil and trouble Fire burn and Caldron bubbleW The caldron again boils up and in the ascending steam I again see Music at Valparaiso. The prim and precise looking registrar, I recognize as Louise Roberts. Two ladies enter, talking very earnestly, in spite of r plain, intelligent looks. I recognize them as Belva Marty, and Pauline ler. It is very evident there is trouble in the air, for Pauline, who is now 'dent of the Y. W. C. A. is giving Belva some friendly advice about I Wing her roomers at 205 Lincoln Ave, too many privileges. I did.n0t r Who came out ahead, for I noticed some one else I used to knowe-Mrs. urn. She was putting up a notice of her recital to be given at the Audi- um that evening. She was to be assisted by Nelson J ohnston, composer i soloist. 191 fiI The iire burns 10W. When next it blazes up it reveals a street in Chicago. A crowd is gathered around a Salvation Army group. The red sweater of one of the men reminds me ofmShanklandaWhyF-yes it is. On looking closer I. find the good-looking woman beside him to be no other than Boroughs. I wonder Whom else Iill find in the city. Oh, I see famous Stella Ruth in a piano recital assisted by Ivanette Shaw, violinist, the child prodigy, at the Auditor. ium at 2:30, April 30. Oh, thereis the North American. Who is that stylish looking girl singing a solo? Oh yes, Nell Gregory, she used to take music at Valpo. Yes, there are two others I recognize, Clara McCall attending a big suffragette convention and Edith Corneau, just returned from France, Where she has served as a Red Cross nurse. They are busily engaged in conversation. ttSara Summerville has neither a bungalow nor a mansion but a House With several little cottages. ,, iIOh, I see she married a Mr. Housef, UAnd Edith Johnson decided to have one long date, and marry that engineer.

HE University is fortunate in having to represent it both at home and abroad a Valparaiso University Male Quartet of high merit. Students and the people of Valparaiso to whom in the past two years the boys have generously given much pleasure and Who have listened to them repeatedly appreciate that each one is an artist, While one has only to hear, either on the concert platform or as a moonlight serenade outside Altruria, our favorite uSunset to know what music is. A nice blending of their naturally musical voices combined With unity of expression and fine nuances make their ensemble work among the best on the concert platform. Roy Harcourt, first tenor, reader and cellist excels as an imperson- ator and reader; Reuben Bergstrom, second tenor, concertina artist and soloist has a rare tenor voice; Joe Schaeffer, baritone, iiutist and concert pianist and Hansel Johnson, basso, clarinetist and soloist are all-round musicians. Next year, under the Interna- tional Lyceum Bureau of Chicago, the Quartet will make a tour of Ohio and Indiana as the International Glee Club. Their programs show versatility, as they consist of vocal and instrumental quartets, excerpts from the ttMikadot, and humorous numbers in costume, readings and impersonations and clarinet, cello, piano and vocal solos. There are no dull moments. Whatever they do, they do With a Vim and a dash that Win the audience. Their leaving Will be a serious loss to their many friends in the Music Department and the student community. 194: IEIE D R .u E E R THE 195 IEIE THE REEDREI 196 ISIS THE REEDREI THE RE I: EIREI IEIE MRS.

Much has been done to improve the methods of teaching and studying Public Speaking by men and women of sincere ambition. In the beginning of its career Valparaiso University had 110 artmeht 0f Eloeuti011 Expression or Public Speaking But Mr. M E te, instructor of Mathematics, took up the work and under his guidance study of Eloeution gained a foothold. Miss Florence Higgins came When demand of the student body grew so strong that the formation of a depart- t became necessary. Miss Higginsi work was of such a high standard that acuse University offered her a position of Assistant in the Department Oratory. She accepted and Mr. Archibald Reddie from Boston took the 'itlon of Dean in this Institution. He, being an actor, developed the emetic phase of Expression. Choosing for his work the Classic and Shake- rean plays. Mr. Reddie was called to the University of Oregon. Mr. thaniel E.

He has the happy faculty of smiling kurggement into the haekneyed and brow-beaten student; those under direction always feel free to go to him for a helping hand. After much minary training he studied With three of the greatest teachers of public h in America: J. L Winter, of Howard University; G. H Clark, of go University; and Arthur E.

N THE winter term of nineteen hundred and fourteen we moved ' into our new building, which is one of the best equipped in the state; prior to that time our laboratories were in East Hall Dining ' ' room. The oldest member ofxthe class came to Valparaiso 111 1913 patiently watched the progress of the new building. Meanwhile her time devoted to learning the symbols and formulae of chemistry, which proved her favorite study. She was popular with her classmates and a true d. Thus the bird of our class ttCrainieT flitted on and came out vic- 011s in all she attempted. And the quiet, comforting nurse, tlBrookieW 1the next to enter the University in our class. The lectures and demon- tions given by her to the Home Nursing Class, were both interesting and 61101211. Her modest winning manners won the hearts of the instructors 11 as her classmates. Then Ruth came into our midst from Music Hall 1 he Elocution Department to take up Home Economics. In Institutional became famed for her cherry pies. Ruth was interested in her work, and ially enjoyed her electives with Professor Carver and the HLawyers.H day Luck passing through Missouri snatched up a happy Miller girl and nght her over to Indiana to complete the Big Four. Having had work i where she finished her course in May and went back to her native state he sunny South. During the years 1915 and 1916 several trips were taken to advance our , ledge of textiles The class Visited Field s Museum, Marshall Field 5 re, and at Pushman Brothers we heard lectures on the history of Oriental 1 The South Bend Woolen Mills gave us the opportunity of seeing the W001 converted into woven garments. We the Seniors 015 716 have endeavored to make the University better by : presence here, and have had the greatest of harmony among ourselves in fout of classes Each member has taken work 1n various departments and Ven herself efficient in other subjects as well as cooking and sewing. The sorrow of parting is 1eSSened by the anticipation of what our new ' Will bring us. As we look into the future we see but dimly through ' mists and vapors, but may purity and honesty of purpose be our guide, :1 our lives will be worthy of imitation and we shall be an honor to the ssion we represent. It is with hearts nlled with love and hope we say rewelltt to our Alma Mater. . 221 THE FOUR-LEAF CLOVER. r w OUR little clovers all in a row, ' W?

HELEN MONTROSE MYERS. -f HE fall term. of 1914 marked the organization of the class in Home V Economics whose members receive their teachers certificates this year, after two years of earnest preparation ' The history of the class of 1916 is almost the history of the department itself, as some of its members were present in the :elasses in cooking and sewing which were organized. With the vigor of ' pioneers, they have overcome many prejudices and have established a oedent which will dignify the labors of those who follow. - At first, it seemed to be the prevalent opinion that a little cooking and 9 mg was the extent of our labors. In fact, the mere mention of the depart- i t in those early days often provoked a smile, and it was necessary for us enlarge upon our requirements in literature, art, and chemistry to create i impression whatever. Times have changed since then, however. Speaking of ttereating an atmosphereiL-the cooking classes made such Alteral application of this phrase and so tantalized the students of other artments with whiffs 0f savory odors that they gained many regular patrons the bake sales. The way cake, pie, cookies, candy, and doughnuts disap- ed proved beyond a doubt that they were of the kind ttMother used to The exhibits of cooking, millinery, and sewing were well attended by t masculine element and received the stamp of their approval. We have ' that this is one line of education for women which invariably receives r endorsement. In this age of trusts and eo-operation, it is not surprising that one or two ur members formed a private monopoly of their own. It is a source of sfaetion to the class as a whole that no man entering into such a'partner- need ever fear dyspepsia. The summer of 1915 witnessed the first parting of the ways. In anticipa- of this separation, the Juniors entertained the Seniors at the home of Margaret Bartholomew. This is one more of many happy memories that eherished by those who were so fortunate as to be present The fall term of 1915 will be remembered as the anniversary of our air to the new building. The large number of teachers who come in for iial work during the summer term has always necessitated the use of ther hall for the classes in cooking. Heritage Hall has been fitted up for 'purpose this summer but East Hall was used for two summer sessions. 231 I THE ggcan-a l A . INSTITUTIONAL. A. N. C. OR a year we had made the staff of life up in little two by fours, l and our cherry, lemon, and custard pies were baked in pans like the canary bathes in; we fried doughnuts one at a time. In fact we had become experts in infinitesimal measurements, when one day Pa came in, and surveying us as Jove looked in pity on the pigmies of Earth; ran his fingers through his golden locks and talked with the Dean. We could not foresee what was to happen. A few days later we found ourselves scheduled to take Institutional Cookery. The Ruler of the Hill said that there was nothing like it for making us practical. I So we learned to measure with the eye, accurately and quickly, because in two hours time even With twelve pairs of hands, to get dinner for fifty people who had paid good money, is quite a task. Most of our customers signed for the term so we learned their likes and dislikes. Future students may borrow our guest book which notes such items as, Nbe sure to have boiling water for President Brownls cambric tea. Professor Tallcotteno salad dressing, likes butter-scotch pie ; Professor Gr. D. i Timmonsenothing chocolate, serve him pineapple. Mr. Calkins, cherry pie. Mr. Kline will make an excellent husband. Why? Didnlt he say he just loved well-done meat? It was on the day, the only day something burned. And he always paid before we took time to make collections. Collecting! that was more unpalatable than onions. We marketed and bought where they gave the best quality for the full measure or weight. And the jolly times we had, the twelve of us eating together between the rush of preparing and that of serving. . The first term we cleared seventy-five dollars and with it bought the handsome cut glass punch bowl to decorate the buffet which was made in the Manual Training rooms for us, and also a set of dainty gold-rimmed china. In the Institutional dining room the Seniors served a banquet which was given by the Pharmacy boys, and the Certiiicate girls served teas there.

She says, ltI just couldn7t teach, I had to have some one to practice on, civilized man cannot live Without cooks, and I thought of Tom, Dick, and Harry, so I became Mrs. Tom Toethemark.77 She tells me that Helen Morrow was employed in the doughnut department of a New York firm.

W nAHUAfTRAmmG 239 THE REESE DRE! HOMER F. BLACK, A. B. Dean of Manual Training Department 240 j THE 1351;51:an ' 1 thifsj NE of the best recognized principles of education is that a person V learns most efficiently if action accompanies thinking. Until ! lately the school curriculum consisted almost entirely of abstract h thinking. A fuller realization of the fact that life,s work involves acting as well as thinking has caused a'ehange in the course of 'tudy. One can learn a masterpiece of literature by reading and by hearing it i't'seussed, but swimming cannot be learned in this way, the act must be per- ;gormed ; and even a literary production may be better learned if accompanied uTfty physicalization. . Manual Training is one of the best subjects to bring out this eorelation iia'etween thinking and acting. It has been frequently noticed that persons Raving had such training have a strong tendency not to be satisfied With the ere memorizing of the formulae of knowledge. They manifest a strong . sire to get deeper into the subject and to know the underlying principles iTirvolved. If Manual Training would do nothing more for the student than 76 awaken in him this hunger for a fuller understanding it would be well Worth the time. Besides this and many other educational values Manual Training often wakens in the student a desire to take part in the great movement of present ; mes, industrial activity. He becomes desirous of doing something Which Will enable humanity to more thoroughly enjoy the conveniences which nature 7a be made to furnish. If he can help improve a road, construct a bridge has been augmented. ' Valparaiso is situated near one of the greatest industrial centers, of the fWOI'ld; it therefore has one of the finest opportunities to become an efficient iz'actor in the work Which typifies modern times. It is our hope that this 'opportnnity may be realized to the greatest possible extent. The Manual Training Department is one of the basic elements of this realization. ' 241 7 THE 1:31;:an ROBERT L.

HURLESS. . R. TOASTMASTER, Members of the Manual Training Class, . Ladies and Gentlemen: Our college days have ended. Soon we are to depart, perhaps no two for the same destination. For years we have looked forward with pleasure to our college graduation but plainly there is a taint of sadness about it. We will soon bid fare- well to all our college friends, to our professors who have so kindly guided and inspired us, and to the school that we shall never forget. This is the last time that we, as a class, shall enjoy an occasion together. Perhaps there are some among us whom we shall never meet again, professors and friends who, after a long struggle together are dear to us. We greatly appreciate the help and attention that our teachers have given us and our Victories in years to come will loudly speak of their success and of the efficiency of our school. Safely have we been guided through our course and now we are to be thrown upon our own resources. Our college life shall soon be but a memory from which reminiscences of our most happy days will be drawn. In deciding upon our profession we have considered it from every point of View. Our ambitions are to give to the world the best there is in us by educating the coming generations that they may be better citizens, that they may foster more intelligent opinions in every act that promotes civilization, and that they may adapt themselves to those conditions of life most intensive and fruitful, not only to themselves, but to all humanity. If our ambition was to hoard up the almighty dollar regardless of how it was obtained we should have chosen a profession other than that of teaching. But living in the age of the specialist, in an era of differentiation, the time in which the school curriculum is being changed from one whose only purpose was to fit the chosen few for college entrance to one that will prepare the masses for earning an honest living and becoming intelligent and respected citizens, we have chosen for our life work the teaching of Manual Arts, the most important and practical subject in the new curriculum. Teachers of these modern subjects are in the greatest field of pedagogical work and in a position to advance the art of practical science. From Manual Training, properly taught, a pupil gets an appreciation of labor, learns of the dignity of the employment of the skilled mechanic, and prepares himself for earning a living. From another Viewpoint there are boys of mechanical ability who want to go into the factories that they may engage in work most interest- ing to them. These boys can be kept. in school if Manual Training is a part of their course. , Our nation is looking forward to the coming generations for men for every 246 . THE ggcan 1 Walk of life. Trained men of mechanical, business and executive ability are being sought throughout the entire world. Those who in the future will be 'leaders in all vocations will be under our supervision during the most critical period of their lives, the adolescent period, in which the life of the youth is usually determined for good or bad. His success or failure in future life is the result of habits formed at this time. It is our duty as teachers to take a per- -sonal interest in each of our pupils, to guide and keep them ever inspired with the highest possible ideals ; to advise them in choosing their life work, and to try and mould each into a leader in his chosen profession. Not all of us will become prominent, but each will have an opportunity to be Successful. Many of the nations most prominent men in public and private I'affairs have lectured to us from our platforms and from these messages we 'have learned many truths which will be of great value to us in our life work. As we go forth to enter into the profession that has no superior, the pro- fession in which we can be of the greatest aid to mankind, we will find it 011 Ta high plane, because of the nature of our work and 0f the great responsibility '5. teacher bears. In the eyes of the community a teacher is a man of unlimited knowledge. His opinion is asked 011 public and private affairs, he is consid- ?:E'I'ed an authority on political questions and his opinion carries much influence. 'Eonftdence in his ability and opinion extend infinitely beyond his own com- munity. This fact was shown by the election of a teacher as leader of our 53313131011. True to his supporters and an honor to our profession, Mr. Wilson has given us the greatest service of any president since Abraham Lincoln. Classmates, the infinite past lies behind, life with its many doors of oppor- mity is with us. The greatest future pedagogues have ever had lies just r'aihead, so let us rise and make a worthy contribution to humanity and uphold rifh'estandard of our honored profession. Perhaps bronze monuments will giever be erected to perpetuate our memories, but I sincerely hope that our ,erk will be such that it will meet with the approval of many generations to EOme. May we ever be inspired with the highest possible ideas; may our advance continue until we have acquired the highest positions in our profes- 'i,'on; until the world has been materially benefitted by our service, and then all our ambitions be realized. 247 THE 13;:an 7. CLASS HISTORY. ALBERT Gr. STEWARD. HE world moves onward, driven by the steady wheel of progress, e and in that onward movement, each individual constitutes a com ponent part of the motive force of that progress. New ideasarise in every field of labor, and demand adherents who will support and promote these ideas from the experimental stage to the realm of established truth. . 111 the field of education, manual training, as we are pleased to call it, is in the transition period. If this trend toward the practical in education is to overcome traditional influences, there is great need for strong supporters. In the fall of nineteen fifteen a number of young men, throughout the United States, and even from the sunny isle of Hawaii, received the call and in response, was assembled in the great multitude of Valparaiso students on the morning of September twenty-first of that year. After the usual routine of organization, these young men met each other on their common stamping ground, the manual training shop, and from then on they moved onward in progress as a class toward the achievement of their common purpose. A few pursued the prescribed course, others followed a course more suit- able to their needs, taking work in the departments of Education, Science and Agriculture, as the case might be. Hence these students were scattered throughout classes in nearly all departments, but had as a core and center of activity the manual training shop. In order to have a better organization in which all phases of their work could be discussed, the Manual Training Guild was formed. Here open dise eussions by all the members were carried on. Many valuable talks were given and throughout it all there developed a closer friendship, and an intimate knowledge of each other that was engrafted into the very souls of the mem- bers, that will never be forgotten. It has been said that the chief business of these young men was to become prepared to teach the youth of our nation something that will materially help them to make a living, to be better citizens and to feel that they as workers in their different occupations have a dignity of position that is surpassed by none. Therefore, when the university decided that there be no chapel exer- cises on Mondays and Fridays, it was arranged by Professor Hyttinen and the class that this time be devoted to lectures on subjects that were of most inter- est t0 the class. During the year many important topics were discussed by Professors Hyttinen, Black and Yeoman. Along about the spring term, after the members had acquired consider- able amount of knowledge, a desire was felt for an opportunity to actually teach that which they had learned. Furthermore, it was felt that much valu- 248 ' ' 'T H' t ggcnn'hn'm '- ml able information bearing directly upon their subject could be obtained by actual participation in the work which they were preparing to do. With these two thoughts in view, arrangements were made with the Valparaiso Board of Education to permit practice teaching in the manual training department of the city schools. There under the supervision of Mr. I. L. Spear they were trained in the most approved methods of teaching. Much credit is given to Mr. Spear for the valuable advice received at this time, and later when under his direction the organization of a course of study was accomplished. At this time it may be mentioned that this group of young men were active .in the affairs of the university at large. In the Spring Track Meet they were second only to the Engineers, a department many times larger. With competi- tion from many large departments the capturing of second place by a small department was an honor particularly to the members who participated, and t0 the class as a whole. During the Summer Term a number of new members were received and a few of the 01d members left to take teaching positions. At this time classes in Foundry and Forging were organized and valuable experience in these lines Was gained. Later in the term a trip to the Lewis Institute in Chicago was taken. There a short course in cement and concrete was given. In conclusion it can be said that this class was truly an exceptional one. 'The members will graduate as individuals who are prepared to take their place in the world as valuable assets to society. At that time the wheel of 'iirogress will have made another revolution and they will continue their ?eareers as individuals, but yet withal they cannot forget the classmates of the velass of nineteen sixteen. 249 CLASS PROPHECY. ROBERT BORN. f3: N A warm Sunday recently, when ttOId Mother Nature, came forth in all her splendor and glory, I decided to walk over to Lake Michigan. I arrived there about noon, and being tired I lay down The splashing of the waves upon the sandy beach soon caused me to fall asleep, and while sleeping I dreamt that I was the traveling sales manager of the Weist Table 00., at Buffalo, N. Y. I may say, that I also learned before starting on my tour, that Claude wacky Hayden was the superintendent of the Weist Table Co. First, I found myself walking into the manual training department of the Fairfax Schools. Whom should I see, but our happy Harry Logan. 1 recog- nized him at once, because of the fact that he was trying to convince his pupils that the mortise and tenon joints were better than the dowels, which you remember was the cause of many a disagreement between him and our dear pro- fessor, 1 next traveled to that noted ttCIinton, Iowa, I am sure my classmates know whom I saw there without further introduction. No other personage than ttR. Newton Hurlessf who had risen to the honored position of mayor of that city. Of course all of us cannot be manual training instructors or supervisors, so I will now introduce to my readers Rev. B. A. Harrison, better known as ttThe Speed King? whom I discovered in one of the cathedrals at Wheeler. While on my eastern tour, I thought I would visit Princeton University. I arrived there at the opportuhe time to witness a track meet, including sev- eral of the noted eastern universities. Now whom should I find coaching the Princeton team? None other than Earl Shroeder, alias ttPeteW Owing to the limited amount of space I will have to touch over the career of the remaining classmates lightly. However, I must take the liberty to write a few lines concerning our guild president, William tBilD Kirby. I was walking down Fifth Avenue in New York, when I heard this famous expres- sion uttered itWho Runs the Hill?,, I was greatly surprised to see our bushy- haired boy, who had become the president of the nNational Weavers Ass,n.H The last place I Visited was the Hawaiian Islands. As I was walking up one of the principal streets of Honolulu, I met Anthony Pereira. I recognized him by the misplaced eyebrowf which he was trying to cultivate, and had been ever since he was at Valpo. Upon inquiry I learned that he was Super- visor of Manual Training on the Islands. On my return from the Hawaiian Islands, I stopped a few days in San Francisco, where I Visited the Waters Checkerboard and Vanity Box Co. I 250 7 t f THE 135:5:an t think you can recall Eddy Waters, as he appeared in our midst wearing the HW. O. W. 14477 cap. I think my classmates Will agree With me that he missed his calling. He should have been a German band leader. On my way from the Golden Gate to Valpo, I stopped at Los Angeles and St. Louis. At the former I met Aubrey Spring, now general manager of the K. K. Kellogg Chair Co. I also saw our friend, J ohnny Hemphill, Who was trying to locate a site for a cedar chest factory. In St. Louis I met Al. Stewart and Mr. Shuler, Who were conducting malt velous art galleries, in Which ttJoeI7 Lockwood had become the chief carver. Now I am near VaIpO. I realize that we all must soon part, and it is With regret that I awake from my dreams. My one big Wish is, that my dreams come true. BOXT VOYAGE, CLASSMATES. MDVND NXNL ' 6AUFE.

Dean of Primary Department 254 l 7 THE IEEEDRU l N::3 IHE Primary Department is one of the later additions to the Univer- i , sity. Primary work is a specialty, having been instituted only ' ' ' . within the last ten years. Boards of Education realizing the neces- sity of a good foundation based upon not only a general idea of the universe and facts pertaining to science and ethics, realized that it had a peculiarty of its own and necessitated a different training for teachers in this line from any other line of work. Not only does the teacher need to have a broad education and a broad experience, but also that she must be adapted by nature and training in such a way as to meet the child on his own basis, and to ht him for the education beyond that certain parti- cular development of his life. In other words training specifically the im- agination and judgment. Several years ago President H. B. Brown in his annual visit to the Teaoh' ers7 Institute of Marshall County, heard Miss Ida M. Haines give lectures on the oragnization, plans and methods in this line of work and became thor- oughly convinced of the necessity for such a department known as the Pri- mary Training Work for school teachers. He immediately made his plans fer securing Miss Haines to organize this department in his school: In the spring of the same year she was elected to the position. Miss Haines came for two summers acting first as assistant in the Educational Department and giving two hours daily to the teaching of Primary work. She returned the next summer also and finally the demands for the work were so encouraging that she remained permanently. A one year course was established which consisted of three terms of general professional work and one term of special primary work. The demands still increasing for better trained teachers in this line...of work, another year7s work was added in which more college work Was instituted and special kindergarten, manual training and primary work was required besides the student who entered was required to be an accredited high school graduate. The unique feature of the work is that every part of . the theory is worked out, particularly so that the teacher does not go before the children in the public school to experiment upon them. She is trained in all the various methods and encouraged to organize and to feel a responsibility of a task before her. The training is of such a nature that they can go into any school and follow any method that may be thrust upon them, work it out successfully and at the same time have in mind and be able to work for what might be the greatest teaching while the child uses up the least amount of physical strength with the least expenditure of nerve force to obtain his result for the enjoyment of a responsibility. 255 THE 1351;25:an .

T WAS a very fortunate September for the Primary Dept. of Valpo Univ. when it received in its embrace the skeleton of the present glorious Primary Class. It was a hard Wednesday for the new ones and it was with sad and downcast looks that they went to their rooms at its close, scarcely knowing yet if the Primary Class met at the Y. W. C. A. or the Medical Building. However they had the grit and pluck to stick by it and so presently this industrious class settled down to make its reputation. The remainder of the Fall term was spent in getting acquainted, and cramming for exams. The winter term brought new members who had heard of the name and fame of this wonderful class. One day Dean Haines mysteriously announced that all girls would meet at the Y. W. C. A. At this meeting the task of organization was imposed upon this class of 1916. Never was such a meeting known in the history of the department. The dignity, peace and quiet attend- ing their organization caused the whole class to marvel. Ruth Thomas of Clinton, IoWa, commonly known as ttTommyf, was elected President because of her wonderful ability as a talker. Emma Jepson, otherwise known as WIitney,75 was elected Vice-President because she received the largest number of votes. Dora Jane Beattie kept the Secretaryis books, Pauline Saylor gathered the vast sums of money in the treasury, Mary Amburgey was elected to represent the class at Student Council, Gertrude Westwood was elected as Business Manager for the Record, Clara J aeobson as Associate Editor, Susan Brown as Torch Reporter. At another meeting the subject of class pins was discussed and again the exquisite taste and eye for beauty of this class was revealed by their choice. In several weeks another meeting was called at which the class colors, Pink and Gray were chosen and the pink sweet pea as the class flower. After much discussion the motto ttLabor Opens the Gateii was decided upon. During the first warm spring days, the romantic instincts which had been carefully cherished during the cold winter months began to manifest itself and the thoughts of Sager7s Lake where ttweeniesii could roast upon its shores while the lassies could give stunts for the favorite laddies was a very important thing to consider. However, storm came to these as well as others of the Just and here they showed the same dauntless spirit that they had manifested at the beginning of their University career by taking up their abode for the evening at the Y. W. C. A. and as only Primary girls could, exercised their imagination while boiling weenies in the kitchen and making such merry making that one could wonder that Sageris could ever attempt to vie with it. Members of the other departments became covetous of the marked ability 260 THE 1;;EEIR - of this youthful and high spirited class and the Dean fears that there Will be a shortage in the supply of Primary teachers. The medical department claims Helen Albey; The. Law department, Zoe Christley and Alberta Ruth Thomas; The Educational, Gertrude Westwood and Pharmacy, Alpha Mulkey. Some of this class have already accepted positions for the coming year. Clara Jacobson, Mable Marpe and Patricia Edwards, expect to teach in South Dakota; Lillian Breskin at Michigan City, Ind; Zoe Christley at South Bend, Ind; Ola Keightly in 111.; and Libbie Tuttle in Iowa. Mrs. Smith expects to continue her work in the University With her husband for another year. It is With reluctance that we close the history of this most remarkable class knowing that each Will make for herself a new history in her chosen walk of life. 261 l , THE 13:25::an '7 CLASS PROPHECY. 433 Orange Road, Montclair, N. J., July 3, 1925. Dear Grace 2 OME once again, and how glorious it seems. Just thinly it has 4i been seven long years since the American Missionary Association sent me to HankauhChina, as a teacher. I was delighted to hear that you had been made superintend- ent of the City Hospital of Philadelphia, because of your remark- able success as a nurse in that institution. How can you stand the long hours? When I read your letter I thought Grace Garner certainly must have changed some for when I knew her in Valparaiso she never could seem to get enough sleep. Coming home I had such a remarkable trip that I know you will want to hear all about it from the time I left Hankau until I reached home. To begin with we had- a delightful trip down the Yangtze River from Hankau to Shanghai. I wanted to Visit the Philippine Islands on my way home so I had to sail from Shanghai to Hongkong and from Hongkong to Manila. It was a beautiful May morning when we landed at Manila. We were to visit there for two days so the Misses Wilsons, young ladies I had met on the boat, and I spent part of our time Visiting the city. As we were walking along an automobile passed us. The woman on the rear seat appeared to recognize us. I failed to recognize her so I asked my companions if they knew her. Before they had time to reply the automobile stopped beside us. The woman, addressing me, said, ttArentt you a graduate of Valparaiso Universityiw When I admitted that I was, she said, HI thought that I knew you but I see that you do not remember meW I couldnt recall who she was so she told me she was Mrs. M. P. Smith. I-Iow glad I was to see one of my former classmates! I inquired what she was doing out there and she told me that her husband was the civil governor of the Islands. She insisted that we should stay at their home until it was time for us to leave Manila. After I told her briefly of my work at Hankau we renewed the memories of our college days. The evening passed all too soon. The next day we arose early as we had to leave Manila at five that afternoon. Mrs. Smith drove us around the city all day. When we left I promised to write and tell her if I heard of any of the other girls who had graduated with us. A storm arose soon after we had left Manila and so our trip to Honolulu was not quite so pleasant as we anticipated. We arrived at Honolulu one beautiful May evening. The next morning we left the boat on another two- dayrsight-seeing trip. After having walked about all day we saw a large white building and we wondered what it could be. A large electric sign informed us that it was the Chautauqua Desk Company. On the window I 262 7 7 THE 11:31: EIREI . read, Dora Jane Beattie, General Agent. I told the Wilson girls that I thought I knew the woman and I would step in and see. Yes, it was my former class- mate just as I had thought. We stayed at the same hotel so that evening we talked until quite late. The next morning we spent our time Visiting the Chautauqua plant and it proved a very interesting trip. Dora went down to the boat and saw us off that afternoon. Our trip from Honolulu to San Francisco was an ideal one. It was noon 0f the first day of June when we sailed into the Golden Gate. California was arrayed in all its splendor and it seemed more beautiful than ever before to us. I went home with the Wilson girls for a few days visit at their home in Oakland. We arrived at their home early in the afternoon and were told that a famous actress was to be at the Opera House that night and it was suggested that we should all go. When the curtain went up there stood Ora Myrtle English Mitchell. I sent her one of my cards on which I wrote, itDo you remember your old classmate? above my name. She sent word back that she would like to see me between the acts. I excused myself and went to talk to her. Of course our time was very limited but among the things she told me she said she had just come from San Diego, where she had met Agnes Marty who is a fashionable dancing teacher there. I returned to the Wilson home that night delighted with my visit to the Opera House. My Visit with the Wilson girls soon came to an end and I departed for Salt Lake City. While exploring Salt Lake City, I met Patricia Edwards, now the wife of the most successful lawyer in the city. We spent the afternoon together and she told me that she had heard that Ruth Thomas is living in Alberta, Canada. She said that Ruth was supporting her husband and family by her. work as an interior art decorator. I left Salt Lake City that evening for Denver, where I expected to Visit some friends of former days. On reaching Denver, I bought a copy of Judge only to learn that Clara Jacobson had accepted the editorship of that magazine. When I had seen my friends I left for Wisconsin to Visit some more friends. As the train drew into Omaha, I saw a large factory called the Southwiek Cabinet Manufacturing Company. A man and a woman entered at Omaha, and took the only vacant seat which happened to be opposite me. It wasnt long before I recognized the woman as Zoe Christley. She and her husband were on their way to Chicago to visit her people. We journeyed as far as Madison together and then I left them. In the center of the city I saw the Madison Womarfs exchange. Hot and tired I went in there to rest while I had some refreshments. Before leaving I learned that Isla Westfall was in charge of the exchange. Since my time was very limited I merely stopped to exchange a few words. At Milwaukee I was more than astonished to see the most fashionable millinery shop was kept by Lillian Breskin. She asked me if I remembered Emma Jepson and Susan Brown. Of course I did so she asked if I knew that they owned a large sanitarium in Michigan. 263 t THE EEEEIRD t Of course, I must visit Chicago before leaving for home. As I walked up Michigan Boulevard I saw a neat looking candy store and I immediately decided I wanted some candy. After I had entered the store I learned to my surprise that it was kept by Gertrude Westwood. For live years she had been there selling her famous bonbons. Ade Heman, she said, was companion to one of Chieagots wealthiest woment Of course'I couldnlt go through Valparaiso without stopping to see the University. Many changes of course had taken place since we were students there. The most startling change was the new one hundred and fifty acre campus with the new buildings on it. I spent the morning and afternoon visiting classes. In the evening I called on Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Myers and told them of my trip home as I knew they would be delighted to hear I had xisited his plant at Manila. He says Miss Beattie is his most successful agent. Much to my surprise he asked me if I heard of the recent campaign in Indiana apolis in which Ellen Edgren was elected mayor on the progressive ticket. I had to leave Valparaiso the next morning. When I reached Cleveland, Mabel Marpe Bowers met me. I had sent her word I would go there on that train. During the two hours wait there we had a splendid Visit. She told me her husband had a large practice in surgery. She had been soloist in the Parkway Methodist church but for the past five years she had been devoting all her time to her family. I asked Mabel if she had ever heard what became of Ola Keightly. She told me that soon after Ola graduated she was married to Mr. Hoffman and they had gone to Pennsylvania to live on a farm. She said the last she had heard they had bought a three acre farm, a home, and an automobile from the profits obtained from selling potatoes to Valparaiso University. The two hours ended all too soon but I promised to Visit her this fall. When I reached Niagara Falls, I met Alpha Mukey and her husband. They were celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary by a trip to Niagara Falls and the Thousand Isles. Mary Amburgey, so Alpha said, was recently ' married to one of her former classmates at Valparaiso who is now one of the U. S. senators. She said Mary had written some good books on nature study before she was married. Before leaving New York City I decided to do some shopping. As I entered Gimblels someone said: ttHow do you do, HelenYy I turned to see if I was the Helen meant; Yes, there was Libbie Tuttle just as neat and attrac- tive as ever. She told me she was at the head of the Domestic Art Depart- ment at Teachers College. I asked Libbie if she knew where Edna Dolisi and Ruth Trousdale were, ttWhy yes,H she said, ttThey have a private boarding school at Tarrytown-on-the-Hudson.l, It was closing time so I bid Libbie farewell and made'my way to the nearest tube station. In less than forty-flve minutes I was home on my first furlough, Sincerely your old classmate and chum, HELEN IRENE ALBEY. 264 HTOMORROW. i i MARY ELEANOR AMBURGEY.

PIHE Student Council is a representative body organized by the stu- dents and acts under the official sanction of the University admin- istration. It acts .as a representative body before the governing students, student organizations, or the student body as a Whole. A11 athletic matters, student publications and student activities come under the supervision of. the Student Council. The Student Council acts as a body of mediation between individual students, student organizations or enter- prises When such service is necessary. The Student Council consists of members elected from the Senior class 01' every department in the University, a faculty member and a representative from the Y. M. C. A. Members are elected for a term of one year and must be regular in attendance at the meetings or their membership will- be forfeited. The Student Council occupies an interesting and valuable place in the University life and is successful in establishing a system of representative gov- - eminent among the students, touching affairs peculiarly their own, and also in matters involving the Faculty. The acts of the Council are submitted to the University authorities and where they concern the rules and regulations of the University are subject to approval by the governing body. In securing K a better understanding betWeen the student body and the University authori- ; ties the Student Council performs a most important function. 275 t .1 N THE REESE DRE! I B. G. YALOWITZ. B. G. Yalowitz, business manager of HThe Torch, whose smiling face may be seen above, was Athletic editor for the hrst few weeks. The editor, recognizing his energetic manner and business abil- ity, suggested his name to the board of directors, for the position as business manager. He was duly appointed as such, and the outcome can be clearly seen: uThe Torchit is a paying proposi- tion. The University must be congratu- lated on having Mr. Yalowitz back again next year. CHAPMAN REYNOLDS. Chapman Reynolds, editor-in-chief of ttThe Torchf for the ensuing school year, acted as assistant editor for the past year. His excellent writings have a1- Ways won him honors in literary work. The Student Council recognizing his abil- ity, elected Mr. Reynolds from a number of applicants for the position of editor. We feel sure that with the proper sup- port the future head of the ttTorchii staff will give excellent satisfaction. 276 A. E. LANKENAL' Arthur E. Lankenau, Editorvin-chief of The Torchii for the school year 1915-16 must be given credit in having been the one to initiate the change from a month 1y to a weekly publication. Altho ham- pered in not having the proper support of the student body itThe Torch always appeared on time with the most interest- ing news items, and timely articles of literary value. The year was a struggle from beginning to end, both financially and in news matters, but under the per- severing efforts of the editor ttThe Torch is still an organization with big promises for the future, WARREN HUTCHINSON. Warren Hutchinson as Athletic editor must be given credit in considering the success of uThe Torchu the past year. Mr. Hutchinsonis reports of the basket ball, base ball and other athletic sports were accurate, unbiased and t0 the point. Mr. Hutchinson will resume the position as Athletic editor the ensuing school year. 1 THE 11E; I:' DRT$-1 HISTORY OF THE TORCH. ' HE Torch as a University magazine first started in November, 1914, E and was published as such until June, 1915. The members of the V; Scientific department being the energetic boosters 0f the periodi- l cal in its first appearance, it was then taken over by the school at large. Due to financial difficulty the paper was discontinued in June of last year. The Torch as a monthly inagaZiiie published excellent reading matter and some beautiful cuts, but lacked substantial backing and close affiliation with the student-body. The Student Council of the University recognizing the need of a student publication to express the popular opinion, and to keep them in touch with the students, sent out notices to the departments the third week after the begin- ning of the first term, to the effect that they should send representatives to a meeting of the following week. Dean Yeoman7 Pres. 0f the Student Council, presided, over the meeting the following week, during which the question of the size and time of appearance of The Torch was discussed. Arthur Lank- enau7 the present editor, suggested that the publication be gotten out as a weekly instead of a monthly, stating as his argument that the business men of the town, especially the show houses and department stores would more readily subscribe their advertising under suchla change. Also the paper could be made newsier, which would be more beneficial to the student-body. Mr. Lankenauls suggestions were unanimously accepted at the next meeting after duly investigating the matter. The outcome of the. change can be easily seen, inasmuch as ttThe Torehi, has paid off the big debt of the preceding year, has purchased some office fixtures, and is still on a firm basis. Much credit is due Mr. B. G. Yalowitz, the present business manager, who has done much in placing the paper on such a substantial footing. UThe Torchil is now controlled by the Student Council of the University, having as an advisory board the following members: G. C. Chostner, chair- man ; H. A. Jackson, Hiram Fulsher, to keep in touch with the management of the paper. From now on the position as editor-in-chief and business manager will be hlled by competition from members of the staff, since they will be of pecuniary assistance to the students elected. 277 3hr Emmy, 133ml?

HE basket ball season of 1915-1916 was exceedingly interesting, with the championship only decided by the final game. Many clever players were discovered in the course of the season and there seemed to be a wealth of good playing material for every team. A new playing floor was provided this year at Empire Hall, but even with this increase in size of floor and seating capacity the urgent need of a larger floor and better accommodations was realized when at a num- ber of the games spectators had to be turned away because there was no room for them. With a larger playing floor and seating capacity for all spectators, basket ball will become one of our strongest major sports and offer the best form 01 recreation in the Winter season. , In order to confine the games to the Winter Term the combining of dif- ferent departments was resorted to and the schedule made out for nine nights with two games each playing night. This scheme worked out satisfactorily and basket ball became one of the most interesting topics of the Winter. The combinations that we agreed upon were, Law-Commereial, Engineer- Educational, High Sohool-Seientine, and Pharinaey-Medicine. From the start of. the season it was plainly seen that the High School-Seientific team was out- classed by the others, but they pluckily played the season through without winning a game, but no little credit should be given them for their gameness in playing for the spirit of the sport alone even when they knew they were . hopelessly out of the running. ; The three other teams were the main contenders for the championship and some of the hottest and yet cleanest games of basket ball ever seen were played, with players and spectators up to the highest pitch by the closeness of the contests. The PharmiC-Medie team, in winning the championship obtained it by hard, consistent playing but they were hard pressed all through the season by the Law-Comrnereial and Engineer-Educational teams, being defeated once by each team and were forced to fight every game to maintain their position. Their team work was of high order and their brilliant shooting at critical times was the main factor in their favor. The Engineer-Eduoational team received a bad start by being defeated the first two games. A change of line up and the addition of a new player started them on a whirlwind campaign that soon placed them as one of the main contenders for the championship. Their pennant hopes were crushed by their last and deciding game with the Pharmie-Medic team when they were defeated by two points. It was a heart breaking defeat, for just after the final whistle blew, a long pass and a clever shot from one side caged the hall for 282 THE EEEEIREI the Engineer-Educational team, and would have tied the score, but it vas just too late to count, The Law-Commereial team also put up a hard fight for the championship and exhibited some clever playing. They also had a fine chance for the championship but were defeated in a deciding game by the Pharmic-Medic team and had to be satisfied with sharing a tie for second place with the Engineer-Educational team. At the close of the season a picked team was selected from the various departmental representation and a game was played with the fast flying team from the Y. M. C. A. Training School of Chicago. Valpo was defeated, but put up a game fight against a stronger and better trained team. Letter was awarded to the squad that played in the Chicago game and numerals given to the members of the winning inter-class team as follows: V men Numeral men Bookwalter Timmons Blair McCullogh Gibbs Schuiteman Bissel Cooley Gates Dodge Wark Ryan 283 .QESSAEE :SEEEEow NmQEEva $2000 59352 wixkr i350 Tpm: $55225.

E E R E H T 287 THE REEDREI ISIS 288 THE 1:155:an 289 i ,, N THE REESE EIRTJ l TRACK. J. A. SWANSON. HE work in track this year fell a little short of the high standard set by the more ardent lovers of this branch of athletics. But the fault, if fault there be; is in a lack of training and not in a lack of the very best of material. A close observer could not fail to notice several men who, under proper coaching, and good training facilities, would rank among the very best in their events. The more skeptical complained that there was not the class spirit or class unity of former years'that the work was more individual. If we take a broader view of this, is it not just what we have been working for? As a school we have realized the folly of Class strife; we have seen that we are all joined in one larger unit than our respective departments; we have attained a unified college spirit instead of a class spirit. Instead. of Viewing this with pessimism the outlook is in fact most encouraging. It is merely the slump before the happening of big things. We are in the midst of our transition from inter-elass athletics to intercollegiate contests. The ground-work is complete; if the contests are arranged the student body is ready to do its part. Although the day of our track event was most disagreeable, quite a crowd was out, and considerable enthusiasm was shown. With a heavy track and a slippery field the following records are, for the most part, good: 220 Yard Dash. N. Brown, E. 1st; Seaburg, L. 2nd; Zimmerman, S. 3rd. Time: 23 4-5. 220 Low Hurdles.

HE past school year has been an eventful one in the history of rail Valparaiso University. Not only has the school numerically increased; but in manifold other lines it has shown a new enthusiasm which has heretofore been lacking. Baseball should get the ttlion,s share,7 of praise. 111 this one branch of athletics, during the past season, more has been undertaken and far more accomplished than in any three years previous. In by-gone years we have been treated to contests wholly within our own household. These contests, tho hard fought and sometimes real exciting, were far inferior to games played on the hill the past season. We have just emerged from a successful season on the diamond. Our first year with intercollegiate baseball has proven to be a success from all viewpoints. The fans this year have had an opportunity to join hands in a common cause and ttroot for a real Varsity team. The games that have been played and won were not won entirely by the team as such. To the interest and enthusiasm of the students and townspeople, in support of the team, rightfully belongs a large part of the credit. The school heretofore has been a school with lines drawn and petty feel- ings existing between the various departments. This year, with the honor of the Brown and Gold at stake, the students have slowly overcome their former habits of rooting, and Medic, Scientifies, Lawyer and Engineer could be seen side by side ttpulling77 for the Varsity. This has done a great deal to foster and amalgainate a school spirit that is destined to remain. The taste of real sport this year has kindled the dormant spark of united enthusiasm which points to a bigger, better Valparaiso; not to any individual department, but to a united, efficient spirit that will in the near future be the password of all true Valpoites. We should also keep our class games. Class athletics should be run subordinate to interecollegiate athletics. Have both, but eliminate the men on the Varsity squad from participation in class games. When men on class teams have been in school the necessary length of time, and show sufficient caliber to warrant their being placed on the Varsity squad, they can be easily transferred thereto. This system of conducting this branch of athletics would give more room for developing material and would break the men in gradually and they would become better seasoned. Let us next season have more intercollegiate games. The students, faculty, and townspeople alike are yearning for them. Let the Brown and Gold be pit- ted against the best of college nines. With the spirit that is now behind her we will be assured of great success. The early spring was taken up by the playing of the inter-department 292 THE EEEEIRU . games. The teams making up the league were: the Engineers, Medics, Scien- tifies and Lawyers. The race centered around the Engineer and Scientific fight for first honors. The ttSurveyors7, were victors. The ttSeientificsi, were second, ttDoetorsT third, and the itJudgestj brought up the rear. The intercollegiate schedule which was to open April 1st, with Chicago as our rival, did not open until May 6th, owing to continuous bad weather. The following men were on the squad: Pitchers Catchers g E.Marron Emery Patterson Coach tBenton Hollingshead Klein Goucher Rann Iniielders Outiielders atDavis $eMulford i:Seott Asst. Coach Edington stBrown Hutchinson Tapias Anderson Murakami t2Smith Elliot Lucas On May the 6th the Crane College team opened the season here andwas defeated by the Brown and Gold boys to the tune of 7-5. Rann who started against the Visitors was a little off color and allowed the Crane stickers to connect. It wasnt all ttBobbiesi fault, by any means that they made 3 runs off his delivery. A few bobbles 0n the infield were costly and they got Rann in the hole. Nevertheless Marron relieved Rann and the home boys began to bang the horsehide and soon brought home the bacon. Davis at shortfield played a bang-up game and handled every play without a slip. Emeryis work behind the bat was of a high class order, and he sure pegged. them right on their head. The second and best game of the season was with Niagara University. This team last year had won 28 out of 32 games played. Among the teams beaten were Cornell and Syracuse. This season they had played against the strongest western nines. On their western trip they lost only three games. They lost to Notre Dame by the score of 1-0 in ten innings; to the Michigan Aggies by the score of 4-3, in a game of thirteen innings; to Valparaiso by the score of 6-5 in a game of fourteen innings. For two hours and forty-five minutes the excited fans beheld the greatest game of baseball that has been played in Valparaiso for years. From the iirst to the fourteenth inning, the spectators were held in breathless suspense. Patterson opened against Niagara and went well until the sixth when he weakened on account of the extreme heat. Marron, Coach Kleinis mainstay in the box, was rushed to the rescue and pitched his best game of the season. The features of the game were the excellent fielding of Scott and Rann and the heavy hitting of Mulford and Benton. ttMu1137,t was the boy with the stick in this battle. His hit in the early part of the game started Valpots scoring. 293 THE REEDRL'I ISIS Lane Tech, of Chicago, was the next Victim of Valpols 42 centimeter attack. This Chicago aggregation, a mighty fast bunch of collegians, was an easy Victim for the Varsity. Brown at first played a brilliant fielding game, handling every thing in regular style. Davisl batting and Marronls pitching were features of this contest. The final score was 6-2. The last contest on the local ballyard was staged with Chicago University. This team was to open here in April, but owing to bad weather the game had to be cancelled. In this game the Varsity played like a major league team. After nine frames of the pastime the count stood 6-2 favor Valpo. Marron went the route against Page, and ttHughieii had the Maroons eating out of his hand. The old spitter was breaking just right and the boys from the Midway eouldnlt connect. The batting 0f Murakami; the helding of Davis and Brown; and the base-running of Scott, were the features of this game. Thus endeth the read- ing of the lesson. Well done, boys! Go get em next season. The team will lose by graduation Marron, Scott, Brown and Murakami. These men will be sorely missed when the snow melts next spring and the boys again don their spikes and chase the horsehide around old University Park. Coach Klein should be congratulated by every student in the school for his consistent hard work and final turning out of a championship team. A word of praise should be extended to the men on the squad who worked hard, but who were unable to get in some of the games. Men like Elliot, Anderson, Goueher and Lucas deserve a lot of credit. They were hard workers, always on the job, ready to step in and light for the Brown and Gold at any moment. 294 THE REEDREI ISIS 296 EDITORS + MANAGERS I ? THE RECORD Yes We Must Have ONE. m' f HE Student Council, ever Wiser and not to be outclassed by former Ii councils, hred a cracker in the form of a typed page to each of the graduating senior classes calling to their attention that they should meet and elect at such meetings two representatives, one for manager and the other as editor of their class, and that these class representatives were to meet in the South Oflice of the Old College Build- ing at seven-fifteen olclock on February the second troot hog day, no your ground hog, yes, vveehiesyy nineteen hundred and sixteen, thereat to organize a body to be known as the RECORD BOARD. Sevenetwenty-three found most of the rooters 0n the bleeehers but not many players on the grid-iron. Coach, R. E. Thayer 0f the Student Council proceeded to dish out some rubbing oil by way of general remarks before a lineup for try outs and permanent places. Dean Yeoman of the Engineering Department as the Faculty representative made several valuable remarks and suggestions of help to the members assembled. By general consent Albert Weiland, Law 716, was elected temporary Captain tchairmanl and J. W. Calhoon, Law 716, temporary mascot tseere- taryl. A motion of all out to practice With the pig-skin tfeet-bally of all members was set for 2 9 7-2-23 S. O. 0. C. B.

H. Parker as Editor, he being the only member on our board who was on the 1915 board; Mr. W. M. Nutter, Manager; H. Naab, Corresponding Secretary; Mr. L. S. Becker, Recording Secretary; Mr. C. G. Hunt, Treasurer. The Editor and Manager were each given power to appoint an assistant from their respec- tive boards, and thus Miss Helen Neet became assistant editor and Jesse W. Calhoon, having been appointed The Record Kodaker, became assistant mana- ger, whereby a third member from the Law class was added to the board. The team now consisted of about thirty-six members and some real prace tiee in tackling, passes and a few kick offs, with here and there a bruise when a poor play was made without a good guard. Third practice. Position, for a kick off! Greener makes a plunge at the oval, -but, eOhl he over esti- mates his lift and falls short when he places Dean Chaffee as honorary, for dedication of the Annual. The right guard tries to save the play by getting the ball and making an end drive by nominating Dean Yeoman of the Engin- eering Department, but a fumble and Weiland made a dash at the center on a line buck by nominating Dean Bowman, and 10, it is a hard tussel, there, no, not yet, Hurrah! Mellen has broken through the line and made a touch down when he nominated Dean Tiinmons 0f the Pharmacy Department. Manager Nutter ordered and placed in his team7s possession coupons for no free picture shows. When these were well distributed, he sent out the whole show tickets. The Annual coupons. Editor Parker working his team into place and with some little practice began to spot papers with ink to see what the printer7s itdevilll could decipher from the hyrogliphies after the assistant editors had given it up as worse than Chinese script, which is like throwing a fly into the ink well and then put it on the paper and try to read his tracks. Kodaker Calhoon soon had a good lineup before the camera that would stop any line of tackle, good, bad, or what not. Yes, even the engrav- ers were stalled, saying where did you get them? Goodness knows, I don7t, but The Record shows from all around the world. Well, no difference, things began to come out of chaos somewhat when Uncle Sam smelled a greaser stirring up trouble down on the border of Mexico and Our Manager7 Mr. W. M. Nutter, being a jolly soldier boy, he was called in June to Fort Benjamin Harrison. At this turn he resigned and Assistant Jesse W. Calhoon was elected manager. It seems that Uncle Sam has a fancy for THE RECORD boys. John J. Dudak, editor of 1915, was called to the Panama Canal Zone in June 1915. But it seems that a little Pa. tPennsyl- vanial girl even outwits Uncle Sam for she sails down to the Canal and nabs Sir John on April 29, 1916, leap year, you see. NGrood luck and best wishes John, with a nice home run to youW Mr. Becker being called out of school by accepting a position as assistant Architectural Engineer, there were some changes in secretary and here Miss Edna A. Dolosi was elected a member of the staff board and Mr. Malecki, advertising manager, with Mr. Mann as his assistant. With these changes here and there the board as a whole were 298 I THE EEEDRU I very well organized and with steady work the teams were soon making good moves with not such bad scores to be ladled out to the student body through the kind assistance of THE TORCH. The regular weekly meetings of the boards With those of the staff made the field work show results. Mr. Swanson ta B. SJ was handed me sweet lemon when he caught that pig-skin to make a touch down for the Athletics and 110 pictures to shout about. He did it nevertheless, even if it was a hot time in July. We wish to thank one and all for any assistance 01 even hindrance, for What we have done cannot be undone and it is too late to weep now. We all stuck together to see the whole show through, games or 110 game, and now we have a trophy for our pigeskin, done up in Brown and Gold from Old Valpo U., 1916. 15 DI TOR IDARKER FAvomr-zs Occupancy If you see an editor that pleases everybody, there will be a glass plate over his face and he will not be standing up. 299 I THE EEEDRU 7 7 i WILL OF THE RECORD BOARD.

That3s not the only reason we sell only the better quality of merchandise but it is one of the best reasons. We,ve been years advertising our store, our mer- chandise and our service among the student body. Has it been successful? Indeed it has. Many of the students today are considered as our best custo- mers, and loyal friends of the store. Just the other day we received an order from an old student now working in Montana, asking us to duplicate an item he bought of us two years ago. We filled the order. Remember we are at your service whether youhre here or several hundred miles from here. 3 g 3 g 3 g g 3 3 SPECHT- FINNEY COMPANY E Service First g g E 3 E g i 3 Our Only F ield---Their Needs Our Only Test---Their Subscription Have You Given Us a Trial?
