It is with pride and not apologies we offer it to you as the result of our handiwork. Those who have helped in the production of this, the 1918 annual of Valparaiso University, know something of the trials and hardships which have been encountered this year. In no other year of the past has the board of Editors betn up against the obstacles the present year men have. In glancing through this book, which in a way is a past record of the school year, do not be too harsh in your criticism, if perchance this volume- does. not meet your idea in every detail. We have endeavored to put forth an annual which we hoped to some degree would meet with your approval. It is a refiection 0f the college life during the year. to as great an extent as our best ability could make it, we have tried to reHect your life and the sterling qualities of your school mates. We wish to express, in the best words and language we know, to the Assistant Editors and Managers, our thanks and appreciation for what they have done toward producing this book, and especially to the Student Council we wish to express our thanks for their loyalty and support, and we would not forget the . many students who have voluntarily given much time and effort to the cause.

B. BROWN 1918 EBB BBEDFD 9 Zln memoriam t1847-1917l No memorial can be made worthy of this remarkable man. To the hundreds of thousands of men and women, scattered throughout the world, who came under the inlluence of his marvelous personality no word of praise is too strong, no monu- ment too great to commemorate his wonderful service to humanity. Indeed, his monument is far greater than any that could be carved from marble or stone; it is eternally enshrined in the minds and hearts of those for whom he lived, labored, and loved. . It was he, who more than any other man placed an education within the reach of the poor as well as the rich. This was his life,s ideal; and to the nursing and fos- tering of it he gave his time, his energy and his life. All over the world there are countless numbers of successful men and women who owe their opportunity to his genius. No other American educator has done so much for the cause of uni- versal education as the founder of our own University. This great institution, of which we are so justly proud, will always remain an eloquent monument to his memory. No greater record than this can be left by any man. In truth, his educational achievement makes him rank very high among the truly great. Though he is physically gone, and teeming multitudes are lonely, the light he leaves behind him will lie upon the paths of men through all the coming ages7 and the waves of influence for good Will deepen and widen until they break in music on the shores of eternity. His work will live in the life of the nation and the world, and his life will be an inspiration, an incentive, an object of emulation as long as the heart hopes, the mind aspires, the men strive to accomplish better things. Truly, he leaves a memorial such as honors no other educator. Let us then llBe watchful and establish the things that remain? Let us not fail to proht by the wonderful heritage the lesson of his great life seems so eloquently to shine forth: mThere is a glory and a true honor; the glory of work faithfully done, the honor of service to humanity? And so farewell, dear friend, teacher, and president. Your life has made a powerful impression on our mindSean impression that can never be erased; and the place you have vacated will remain unOccupiedea monument, indeed, unto your memory.

She spreads around that silent spell, That makes all spirits love her well? 1918 051;: 332mm 23 wihtam'tle Emma Smith uOver his keys the musing organist, Beginning doubtfully and far away, First lets his tingers wander as they list, And builds a bridge from Dreamland for his lay: Then, as the touch of his loved instrument Gives hope and fervor, nearer draws his theme, First guessed by faint, auroral Hushes sent Along the wavering vista of his dream? As the organist listlessly lets his hngers wander over the keys, he strikes the chord of the Dominant Ninth. Immediately his imagination is touched and he begins the Composition, tkOur Senior Class? As we listen to the introduction the entrance of the different themes brings before the mind the members of the Class as they strolled into Music Hall on the first day of their career as Seniors. Now, who does that first clear, concise theme remind us of? Why, Mr. Bruns- vold, President of our Senior Class, of course, for he is always on time waiting for the rest to arrive. The second theme is harmonized in the wistful but beautiful minor key, and here we have Miss Jarvis, our Illinois maiden. This is followed by a whimsical, dancing, merry bit of Dallegro and in comes Margaret Hirschmann, skipping up the stairs. Here the organist weaves in a contrasting IYPenseroso theme which easily finds a place in the hearts of the listeners and recalls to us the memory of Miss Pointer. Now, the melody moves down to the deeper, lower tones of the organ, and we hear Mr. Schaefferis clear, Vibrating voice as he sings in chapel. VVhOITl does the next stately strain picture to us? Is the organist deceiving us with a new air. or are we a bit confused? But wait! Here comes a tall, dark-haired stranger to register with Miss Gilmore of the Music Department, and in a few minutes to be introduced to us as Miss Van Lehn, a new member of our Senior Class. A merry trio in contrapuntal style follows with three lyric voices closely woven together, yet each with its own distinct individuality which we recognize as Ruth Noetzel, Lora June Beyers, and Emma Smith. This section or movement closes with a recapitulation or welding together of all the themes, recalling the organization of the 1918 Seniors into one body called the Dominant Ninth, with Mr. Erunsvold as President; Ruth Noetzel, Vice-President and Lora June Beyers as Secretary and Treasurer; As he plays the Second Movement of the composition, we hear a tremendous peal of the organ, and we recognize the boys and girls glee clubs consisting of twenty members each. It recalls that on February 15, 1918, the combined clubs gave a concert and dance at Altruria for their invited guests. The program proper consisted of ten numbers besides the encore, and the boys and girls did justice to Mr. Roberts excellent training. After the concert, dancing was in order, and confetti was showered upon the dancers from the different balconies. During the evening, Mr. Roberts gave an exhibition of the latest steps in dancing. The one sad strain in this part of the composition is the disappointment which b-efell the girls as the evening passed and not one of them had a dance with Mr. Roberts. As the volume of the organ decreases, and the organist plays on the 24 013m ERBEDITD 1918 lighter tones, we hear the clear Voices of the girls quart tte, consisting of Mar- garet Hirschmann, soprano; Nell Duncan, mezzo soprano; Luella Zeratsky con- tralto and Zula Clausser, alto. Their programs consist of solos, trios, quartettes and range from the 111 moious nnmi er to s kctions from operas. Here we are also reminded of the Boys' quartette consisting of William Brunsvold, flrst tenor; J. C. S atanson second tenor; J. G. Eberly, baritone and H. J. Hanemann, bass. Hark! Donit breathe for fear you will miss sOmething. What is the organist playing now? We h at bits from Chopin. tunes from English and Scotch folk songs, snatches of well known Violin selections and phrases from beautiful art songs, which brings to us the many delightful recitals arranged by Mrs. Stephens. About this time Miss jirtle comes to us in the form of the nLast Chord? She began her work here three years ago and now returns to hnish it with us. Music hath charms and so hath parties. The Faculty expressed their feelings towards that little saying by entertaining the students at different times during the year. In bringing this movement to a close the organist plays iiItaliaf their song. The third movement, though last, is the most beautiful of all. We do not understand clearly what the artist is playing for it is a little beyond us, but we realize he is playing about our teachers and we listen in silent admiration to that which brings before our minds the members of the Faculty who guided us so faithfully and cheerfully, instilling into our minds thoughts that will inspire us to reach forth for higher ideals. ! a favorite 1918 Eb?

History tells us that a little more than ten centuries ago, Englands great king, Alfred, wrote the first chronicles in our language. Going back as far as the books of those days would take him he brought the history down to his own time. After he died, others, in turn, took up the work and passed it on to other generations, so that now our literature has an unbroken history of events. The purpose of these chroniclers was to portray the Characteristics of the people of their time; to describe their customs and their appearance; and to tell about their pleasures and thzir struggles; so that succeeding generations might profit by their experience. It was indeed a long:r way from the days of Alfred the Great to our own day and from the famous chronicles he wrote on the one hand to the humble work here placed before the reader. Fearing the voluntary verdict of a passive public yet hoping that a bit of history will be appreciated. we have for the nonce forgotten our anxiety, while sharing the conventional doubts of writers regarding success and made this attempt. This chronicle will be but one among many, but will fill a place. We of the Bachelor of Arts Class in Education are a province in ourselves in the democratic colony of Valparaiso University. As a small part of it we are proud, for it has sil-ntly and effectively inculcated the permanent lessons of democracy. At this time it seems ntting that we, also, should in our humble way describe the characteristics of our professors, of our leaders, and of our graduates; that we should refer to our habits, to our fortunes, and to our misfortunes; and that we should recall the happy incidents of college days, so that succeeding generations may be the wiser for it; then. too. it may prove in time to become a keepsake to the members of the class fraught with meaning with the passing of years. Our raillery will be done in all kindness. Gladly we take upon ourselves the work left by last yearls Class, earnestly hoping that the completed task will meet the approval of the faculty, of the students, and of the graduates. Should we fail, let this at least serve to present the purpose of the chronicle and to permit us to apologize in not realizing the aim. If we succeed let this be an expression to express our heartful.thanks to appre- ciative readers. It may be only an incident but significant that in that memorable year when the great fight for DEMOCRACY began beyond the 3,000 miles of tumbling seas, many of us first entered the Old College Building only to be convinc;d after passing through its portals that we would continue learning the wholesome lessons of democracy and simplicity to some extent already instilled into us in humble phototypes of the great institution of learning on College Hill. DEMOCRACY, that magic work, has not only marshalled armies but the sacred ideal has been stamped upon us by work and example. Who has not realized the leveling effect of university life here, where in dress, in manners, and in salutations, the professor could hardly be differentiated from the student? The college office, the college halls, and the college class rooms spelled simplicity. Labor Was never tabooed, it kept the tires burning, and it was ever at par with the most brilliant efforts in rhetoric. Thus was service for which we were Fitting ourselves emphasized. The treble force in vogue here has in its quiet way been more powerful than armies. A new struggle soon loomed up on the educational horizongithe fight with ourselves. Like the armoured warrior of old or the happy soldier of today we went into the battle crying, llConqner Thyselffl With headlight fronts we strove for laurels, and after four years of hard work we have been decorated, but we look far greater Victories ahead. 44 05132 332mm 1918 At the beginning of our freshman year we arrived safely in this city of beautiful homes without any other mishap, perhaps, than a tedious wait at some junction point, while some of us probably came in our fathers limousines. We had heard about the two hundred teachers, but we did not see them until that hrst morning at chapel, when we beheld their shining bald heads on the rostrum. After a meal or so we began to thrive on Pa Kinseyts caviar, sauerkraut, spaghetti, and squeak and bubble dessert. Water boiled in its own fat or H20 Altruriaized under the classic name of consomnie was just Ene after a stroll with some jolly lad or lass 0n the heights overlooking SagerTs Lake. On big holidays we partook 0f the spring leg of a hind chicken or tasted exquisite cream puffs. Credits and conHicts were a puzzle to some of us for a while for no one seems to have his hat knocked in, and nearly every student by this time had seventy dollars worth of slips with him. We became accustomed to being addressed as guys by the postman, were vexed at not being able to join Greek letter fraternities and then decided to remain barbarians. When our checks were delayed we ate at the beanery, glad to get back to the college commons when father grew kindhearted. By this time our plastic minds were prepared for almost anythingf Soon the professors asked us questions as if we had written the texts ourselves, and this has been a continual performance since the beginning of the second day. We still survive the struggle with our mathematics. The horrors of Chemistry XIII and those awful zoology bug: often led us into huge verbosities, and while some of us had predominant fnnn3 bones, comparisons of the individuals would be odious here. Until we began to make those endless strings of Als, the only college degree we considered was the comparative one. In our senior year we had to put up with those wheatless, meatless, and beetless days. The heatless clays of the iciest winter of half a century, and the occasional eatless menus of those blizzardy Sunday evenings, and the coffeeless sugar, made us hoot the tute in substitute and sing the song of hate 0f merciless autocracy. But what grain of sense can be in this flood of words. Time and circumstance do not prmit it, for gtThe blackest mischief ever breathed from Hell is rampant? With Shakespeare we can say, llThe time is out of joint, 0 cursed spite, That ever I was born to set it right? The curtain will soon draw down upon this routine and the useful life at the institution of our choosing. and as we enter the fray it will hardly know us more exc;pt in so far as we are loyal to the teachings so deeply instilled. These lessons have been engraved on our hearts as inscriptions on stone. Our depart- ment head, Professor George W. Neet, has always been to us an inspiration. While some students might have had a glass of science, others a barrel of prudence, he has had an ocean of patience. Professor William F. Ellis, his able assistant, sometimes made the truth hurt, but knew how to smooth it over by reciting our lessons for us. ProfessOr S. E. Shirleler was always ready with his apt and pithy illustrations of the raccoon and the jackrabbit. We shall soon-act our various roles on the worlds great stage, carrying forward as teachers, yes even by the sword, the principes that become to us a second nature in this our Alma Mater. We have now entered the lists to win in patriotic service to humanity. XVith our new weapons and accoutrement we are the better able to encounter the forces of evil. The Shield of Faith in Humanity will make us strongeimmune against the fiery darts of discouragement and ridicule. With hrm hands we will grasp it and shun the blindness caused by corrupt riches or the dazzling 0f unearned honors. ' The Helmet of Confidence in ourselves will be our beacon light. The deeper this confidence the more cheerfully we will assume our tasks. Storms may 1918 05138 332mm , 45 agitate the heart, courage hag, stars fall from heaven, and pillars totter, but these things will not alarm the unfailing hope that sustains. The Lance of Courage is in our hand. Let it be set in battle array. We will seek the highest aims and our healthful, youthful ideals. Fair and golden are the days and the time is short. T0 arms! The Sword of Respect of superiors, inferiors, and equals will make us true to ourselves. The spirit of the age is indeed mischievous; there must be due honor to the chiefs. Obedience to rightful authority will cut in two false niaxims and specious sophistry. Discipline has already assumed a new role. The Arrow 0f the Love of Mankind and Our Country will make heart speak to heart. Love of fame made Napoleon drive his triumphant chariot through the countries of Europe. Love of country makes soldiers glad to die for it. Love of pupils leads the teacher to lose herself in them. As educators we must see that every eye, heart and hand is for our country. With Butter- worth we can repeat, ttThe blue arch above us is libertyls dome, The green fields beneath us, equalityis home; The school house today is humanityls friend, Let the people, the flag and the school house defentfi We will not forget the Belt of Self-Control. The lessons that we have learned and that we have tried to symbolize here have been deeply impressed. Encouraged and supported, we will speed on at this sad parting of the ways. Darkness may shroud the future, but like untarnished mirrors, with hearts of celestial fire, and conviction as accompanying music, we will march on. We have no Cloudy telescopes nor dusty microscopes. Democracy is on our standard, truth and simplicity is written on our banners. But in years to come, if in the heat of battle, or in well-earned rest from labors, we should happ:n to pick up this chapter of history, telling us of the wholesome lessons taught by our Alma Mater, and recall joyous memories of useful college days, of kind teachers. of enterprising students, of good habits formed, then our work as collaborators of this Annual has not been in vain. 013m 332mm 1918 47 05in 33mm 1918 1918 0532 332mm NTERIOR OF LIBRARY I 1918 QEIJB 333EDI'D 49 OTTO F.

History, as a series of events in the struggle of a people for higher life, t is obvious in our present-day battles, whose object is to make the world safe for democracy, and thus a-happier world in which to live. While the greatest events in the world history are being made, the Pg. B. Class is, as a result, smaller than it has ever been in the history of Valparaiso University. It is conceded by all that an education can be attained only by individual struggle. The struggle has indeed been great. Coupled with the burdens and heartaches of the present conflict. the student of this generation carries a load like unto that of Atlas. iut the lessons of perseverance and sacrifice are moulding characters that will be an asstt to coming generations. We come to college with a smiling countenance which hides feelings of suspense. agony, sorrow and hope combined and iningles a silent prayer with our lessons for the welfare of our nation, classmates, brothers and sweethearts. Mr. Hoovers wishes as to meatless and wheatless days have been duly observed by our eight members, and unconsciously we have become accustomed to the daylight saving law. we were all represented in the Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross Drives and have b en a hundred per cent in the HThrift Saving Stamp Drive? As to social functions, surely Mr. Hoover will pat us on the back and say, til am proud of you? Miss Summers, however, on a Sunday afternoon, following a class kodaking expedition, gave us a hearty welcome and a generous treat at her home on Main Street. The result of the kodaking trip tells its own story on our comic page of this Record. It is with a fzeling of gratification that we welcome an old student who has returned to our Class after a year in the law department. It is when Copeland enters the room, that we all put on the air of dignity as in the presence of a solemn judge. The class felt it had received a valuable addition when Mr. Smith joined us last September, whose perpetual smile and business ability is making this Record a success. In our Class this City of Valparaiso is represented by our popular Miss Summers, who is also an able musician. These two years have been inspired by the faithful work of our more mature members, Mrs. Zuber and Miss Fiddler. Last but not least is the youngest member of this group and generally known by us as the infant. Listen, he is our presidtnt, and to his Classmates he is a Regular Woodrow VVilsonfi Although the A. 1335 feel that they have a better Claim on our much beloved Dean because of having had one more year of valuable instruction in character building under his care, we consider ourselves fortunate in being Under his inspirational directions for even a shorter period, and hope to follow out in our future work the principles which he has so untiringly impressed upon us. 52 715132 iRewrh 1918 QEIasE iBruphety ANNA J, ZUBER. llSweet is the harp of prophecy; too sweet Not to be wrongld by a mere mortal touch; Nor can the wonders it records be sung To meaner music, and not suffer loss.

It is somewhat with a feeling of halting difhdence that I attempt to touch the poetic strings of the sweet harp of prophecy. Though wonders lie dormant in it which I am unable to bring forth in sweet melody, yet it is my desire that you gather a few harmonious notes which will give you an insight into the beauty and illustriousness about which I endeavor to foretell. Plato argues that the faculty is so far above us, that we must be out of ourselves, when we meddle with it, and our prudence must either be obstructed by sleep or sickness, or lifted from her place by some celestial rapture. True it is, that no one has means by which he can definitely predict what the future may bring forth. When we say that a certain individual will become a social reformer, we mean that if he perseveres in his efforts, and humanity continues in its slow but certain progress, that in the natural occurrence of events he will attain this end. In my mind's eye I can see each member of the Pg. B. Class of 1918 as they enter the great conquest of life. They have equipped themselves with the breastplate of righteousness, truth and honesty, as well as with the keen sword of intellectual attainment. No enemy is formidable. No obstacle is insur- mountable. Most of my companions have chosen their respective professions. Not professions in which the largest monetary gain is obtainable, but those in which the greatest service to mankind, and to progressing civilization, can be rendered. Two of our best friends contemplate remaining in school until they attain higher degrees of efficiency. One of them enters Wyisconsin University. and the other remains in Valparaiso University. Still another enters the teaching profession next year. To her, the vocation is fundamental to the efficiency of the race. Forming a judgment from the results of associations and companionship in Class activities, I can truthfully say that none but those who love the true and the'beautiful will ever follow her example. One of the best in our class intends entering the most devoted and self-sacrihcing calling of all She is determined to go into the remotest and darkest corners of the earth inhabited by human kind, and to teach, lead and direct them to and in the best ways of living. She is, truly, takingthe part of the good Shepherd. No chord ever vibrated, on the sweet harp of prophecy, which pealed forth more gentle. more sweet and 1918 01332 332:an 53 more sublime tones than these, which will enrapture the hearts of the peoples in the dark, far-off countries. Three of the noble sons of this Class have chosen the legal profession. Lawyers! Judges! upon whose countenances grave deliberation sat. Men who are supposed to be the embodiment of justice, and the incarnation of truth. Men who become defenders of the Commonwealth and the rights of its constitu- ents. Ah! how I tremble, when the thought creeps into my mind that if I should be accused of a misdemeanor or a horrible crime, some day, and should be summoned to appear in their august presence-th temporal O moresV, Certainly no one would hesitate to prophesy if they were acquainted with my comrades, that they will not disobey any rule, law, or precept of society which will reHect discredit on their schoolmates. My imperfect selection nears an end. If the notes of discord were sounded from the string of flattery, it was due to the lack of skill on the part of the player, and not on the part of my intimate associates. v.5 .- r . .

Mr. Chairman, Members of the Faculty, Fellow-Classmates, and Friends: A little less than two years ago we, with others, met in the Law Building and organized the Class of t18. That Class has made its history and we are about ready to step forth into the world as graduates of this university. As we of this Class gather here this evening, we experience a peculiar feeling. We are glad for what we have accomplished here, for the friinds we have made, and that we are soon to be graduated from this Institution. Th:re comes a feeling of regret and sorrow with the thought of leaving thzse friends who have been our coelaborers during our stay here; and, too, now as we look back over our work, the failures that entered and mistakes made stand out with no explanation. Now as the time has come for us to take a new step in life, to enter new and broader Fields of duty, we cannot but feel a deep seriousness in so doing. We fezl more directly than ever before the burden of facing the stern problems of a selfish world and the need of courage to fight to a victorious end the battles there in store for us. However, this duty is faced with pleasure. believing that our stay here has not been in vain. True, we have not made the best of our time; yet, in spite of this, through the never-tiring, but ever-inspiring efforts of our worthy and esteemed faculty, we believe that we have acquired some of the essentials requisite to a measured success in our chosen profession. Eut as we go forth from this school let us not think that our education is complete; truly this is only at commencement. College training is only to acquaint us with some of the problems to be met; to organize and get our thoughts started aright under the direction of trained leaders, se that. we can go alone when we are thrown upon our own resources. We may have chosen a profession of work. To succeed, I have come to believe it requires more effort and application than any other. It is a vocation which is under suspicion-whether justly so or not, such is the fact-and we, too, are somewhat suspected. which makes it necessary that we prove our honesty and worth. Why should this. be? Why should a profession as old as civilization itself be thought of in such a way? The answer is found largely in the misunderstanding of the lawyer by the great majority of citizens of our country; and to some extent in the practices of a few-a very small per cent of the whole numbereunscrupulous men in the practice of law who use their training as a means to cover their unprincipled conduct. Such men bring air unjust reproach upon lawyers as a Class and deny the profession the esteem it should enjoy. As graduates, when that field of labor is known to us. we should make it part of our business to expose such men and make it difficult for them to hide their nnderhanded work. But in spite of this existing attitude toward lawyers they are recognized as leaders among their fellownien. It is their businesss, and dutyea sacred one, tooeto help protect the rights of their 62 E132 332mm 1918 neighbors by doing their part in enforcing the laws of the land. by which those rights are secured. In such a capacity a lawyer has a wonderful field for service, a broad field for doing good. Yes, a place to serve; and is not that what every person should want? I know that we are used to judge a mans success by the amount of money he has accumulated; such is the custom of this country in its mad rush for riches. but I believe aft:r the roar of the cannon has ceased and the world is safe for democracy, a new standard will be set for determining a mans success; that of service rendered to his country and humanity. Whether this be true or not, we are all agreed that this would be a forward step in the interest of society. Thin let us at least give this question some serious thought now as we are entering the world of business to begin our lifels work. Men are remembered by what they do for those working along with them. If you want to win a place in the hearts of your fellowmen, pay the price, render the service and your r;ward will be gladly given. We are living in a wonderful age; a time that has no equal in its varied openings and opportunities; a time when trained men, men of purpose and of courage, were never in greater need, th call coming from the four corners of the earth; and when peace is restored the call will sound much louder. The world, maddened by the rage of war. shaking off all its old customs, is plunging forward and no man can tell what will be the result. Our minds are unable to comprehend what it all means. Graduating in the midst of these conditions when nothing is normal, when the world seems upside down, we know not which way to turn, especially those of us who may be accepted into the service of our country. In fact, some may feel that their time spent here is for naught, so dark and unattractive is the outlook of the legal world of the immediate future, overshadowed by the one great purpose of the people of this country at the present tinieethat of winning the war. There, too, we must take our places. Our first duty is to our-country, and when she has won her battles and established democracy in the world, when the people of the world begin to adjust them- selves to the new conditions, then we will be called upon to aid in the capacity for which we have been training, then we will not rsgret having stayed by our post through it all. A manls success depends upon his training; his training largely upon his teachers, which is a pleasant thought for us, for we believe in our teacherss I know the place of high regard each member of our faculty has won in the heart of each and every member of this class and I wish it were possible for me to express it in appropriate words. Their unselfish. conscientious efforts, always increasing when interest lessened on our part, abounding always in patience when to be patient was most impossible, has been a constant source of inspiration to each of us, and will continue to be such with increasing propor- tions as we advance in life, when we will better be able to realize and appreciate the real motive and worth of these men. Members of this Class, our lives will to some extent reflect the lives of our teachers. With this thought in mind, let us go forth with a strong purpose that we bring no reproach upon those who have so nobly served us; but may our lives be expressive of high ambition and of appreciation, which is a teacherls highest reward. I918 ZEIJB 332mm 63 Now to you, my classmates. a parting word. We have labored together for two years under many difficulties from without and differences from within. A large majority of our number at the beginning have fallen by the wayside, but we have reached the goal, for which we ar: justly glad. Our differences and difhculties sink 110w into insignificance and I am glad to say that some of my best friends are of this class. Here friendships have be n formed that will endure through life, though it may be that our work separates us. Soon we part to meet no more, knowing not where we go nor what life has in store for us. Jmt if we be true to the best that is within us and to the one thing that charac- terizes our Alma Mater,;w0rkenone need fear but that all will be victors. LAW LIBRARY 64 mbt BBEDrh 1918 lam CLASS ORATION. mm leaking of the jaatiun L. L. STRAHAN Since we are about to graduate into the greatest of all the professions, it seems very appropriate to take a brief glance over the past, and see what relation our profession has borne t0 the nation and its development. Every nation must have lead rs; and a nationls greatness is in each case directly proportional to the greatness of its leaders. The men who guide the helm of state successfully must have a comprehznsive knowledge of its funda- mental structure and operations. They must have a special and peculiar training for their responsibility and trust. Under our system of government there is but one calling that tits men by training and experience for this important role of public leadership. And this without doubt or question is the profession of the law. It is not too much to say that America is a lawyer-rulecl country. We have on every hand impressive examples of this. Law trained men are in Charge of all the Vital affairs of government. Nearly all the members of the various state ligislatures, governors of states, members of Congress, mayors of cities, and many other governmental officials are and have been selected from the legal profession. Almost all the presidents have b:en law trained men; and aside from Washington n0 president has been a good one who was not legally trained. The men holding the positions here named are ruling the nation. They are and have been picked from the legal profession because they were the ones fitted to perform the important tasks; and this is Why our country is a lawyer rulxl nation. The past has amply shown that great success in the highest forms of public leadership is not attainable without legal training. This is because of the 4 1918 EBB RBfUFh 65 peculiar structure and organization of our government. Ours is a constitu- tional government. The science of government in America is so saturated with legal tinges that for one to understand it he must be versed in the learning of the law. Indeed, the fundamental principles, inner workings, and in short the science of our government are a part Of the body of our law. This is why it is so essential that law trained men be at the helm of state in all important public activities. Since it is truly the task of lawyers to be the leaders in the public affairs of this country, we might ask, have they lived up to their duty? To- this the answer is indelibly imprinted on the mind of every intelligent American. There is the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, its proper interpretation, and the saving of the Union, all the work of lawyers; and there they will remain forever. What a galaxy of monuments to the legal profession! The colossal grandeur of these achievements have never been surpassed by the hand of man. No other profession can claim any such resplendent heritage as this. Yes, there is the Declaration of Independence, the greatest docunirnt of human liberty ever penned in the history of the world. It was written by Thomas Jefferson, a lawyer, and a statesman because he was a lawyer. There is, there can be, no deeper appeal to the feelings of a lover of human liberty, than this immortal display of patriotism. It is no wonder that the great Revolutionary War was won with this as its guiding light. Then, too, there is the Constitution, the bulwark of our liberty, our govern- ment, and our nation. It is ranked as the most perfect political writing ever written. It was made entirely by the lawyers of the Constitutional Convention. It is the great answer to the prayer of the centuries that the rights and liberty of humanity be recognized by governments. With it as a framework we have become one of the great nations of the world; without it it is hard to prophecy what would have been our fate. But with the Constitution adopted danger was not yet passed. It remained for John Marshall, the profound expounder, the greatest legal colossus of his time, to assert with irresistible logic the powers of the Union under the Consti- tution. W'ithout his decisions the effort to make a nation of the United States 66 01332 Remark: 1918 would have been a dismal failure. We owe our very existence as a nation to this wonderful man. When the disastrous Civil War came, and a national catastrophe seemed inevitable, it was again the work of a lawyer that saved the Union from destruction. That marvelous prodigy, Abraham Lincoln, the grandest combina- tion of head and heart this country has ever known, whose public care:1' is the greatest pride of the nation he saved, the ornament of history and the wonder of the world, made it impossible to again question our national integrity. These great men of our profession, what a wonderful array of them. Hamilton, Jefferson, Marshall, Wiebster, and Lincoln, what a heritage to us has been their great work. Volumes have been written about them detailing their every act, and furnishing inspiring testimony to their valor, courage, and statesmanship. They will live on and on in our nations life as long as the heart hopes, the mind aspires, and men strive to accomplish better things; and though their marble monuments may be effaced by the tide of time, and though from historyls page may be struck the record of their great work, what they did and what they accomplished for themselves and their posterity will still live as a priceless legacy to all that are and are to be. Truly they live in a resplendent glory of an imperishable fame. When we have read the history of their life work we have read the history of the building of th: nation-the United States of America. These greatest ones are only the most conspicuous examples of the record of our profession. There has been and there is no fault with the profession of the law. It has been weighed in the balance and not found wanting. It has measured up to every duty and expectation. Its career is, indeed, the pride of the nation. All the big things are not yet done. There is and there will be plenty of opportunity for those who have the ability and who make the effort. We are about to enter upon the greatest stage of our national history. The nation is and will be calling for men of the highest caliber. If we are of that type we need suffer no disappointment. Let us then make ready to do with our might whatever our hands find to do. 1918 Orbs 332mm 67 This, then, is our heritage; the grandest, the most glorious the nation has to offer. Will we prove equal to our opportunity? Only we can tell. It is entirely within our hands. It may be that none of us can ever hope to rival any of the greatest names in the history of the profession; yet if we are honest and upright, and will do our best, we will not have lived in vain; and though our accomplishments be small we may yet have glory and honor, for there is a true glory and a true honor; the glory of duty done, the honor of the integrity of principle. By doing our best we may at least feel with the poet: llThough my struggling soul may never gain the goal it covets so; It may never reach the pearly gates of paradise sunsetls glow: But I have faith that in the shadows blue, at set of sun, I shall be judged by what I have tried to do, not what I have done? 68 211132 332mm , I918 PROFESSOR OHN ROMAN LL.

Classmates : The end for which we have long been striving, perhaps since early childhood is now at hand, and our period of school life will soon have passed. Tomorrow many of us will begin the shaping of our destini:s by our own hands. No longer will we be guided by our patient, persevering and most competent instructors. We are to consider ourselves the most fortunate class that ever graduated from the Pharmacy Department of Valparaiso. Never in the history of this school have such opportunities presented themselves to Pharmacists and Chemists. It is not necessary to enumerate the branches of industrial work that are begging for college train:d men and women, especially those of scientihc training. ' Of course, those of us who are in the draft have an entirely different problem to face, for, to us will not be given the privil ge of planning our immediate future, nor will we have the opportunity of doing commercial work, neither will our salary compare with such workers. But it is our lot and gladly we make the sacrifice for our country, as many of our classmates have done. Our service Hag which iloats from the window of Scimce Hall testifies to others who to-day would have increased our ranks, had they not loyally given services to Uncle Sam. Those stars represent the men who have gone forth to cantonments, to the Navy, and many already on the battlefield, and we know that those who have sacrificed everything: home ties, friends, and future to save our country will Fight with a greater zeal and zest because they know that back in Indiana the pharmacy class, graduating to-day, is thinking of them and claiming them for their own. Classmates, whatever our line of endeavor be, whether in a commercial laboratory, a pharmacy, or. in military affairs, let us follow the example of the men and women who have preceded us, and take our aim in Life's great drama with a firm determination to give the best that is in us to the advancement of whatever pursuit we follow. Let us not expect immediate results, for we are students and will be considered as such until we have met the standards set by more experienced men and women. As we advance. let us continue to study and to plan slowly, thus establishing a hrm foundation for the future, and eliminating part of the discouragement and disappointment that comes to all men and women. Even- tually our individual work so planned and finally accomplished will stand as a lasting monument to our efforts and a credit to our Alma Mater. As a final word to the Class of 1918, I wish to say that the thought of our parting fills me with regret, for during our short stay in Valparaiso we have cultivated friendships that time cannot efface. And to our Professors I wish to extend the sentiments of the Class and trust that they will be spared to continue the noble work of preparing future pharmacists and chemists. 84 TEIJB 33mm 1918 Mass isistmtp On the glorious day of September 19, 1916, the greatest Pharmacy class of the greatest Pharmacy School convened for the first time in our illustrious Science Hall. We had come a few days previously from Armenia, Bulgaria, Poland, Roya1ton, New York and the United States. Dick, our Dean and chief chemist, explained the program and gave us our initial knockdown to the Queen of Sciences. On the same day we met Mr. VVisner, who explained the tactics involved in the battle for Pharmaceutical glory. We soon got down to business and plunged into our work with a zeal and fortitude hitherto unknown to a Pharmacy Class, until the Weeny Roast entered our peaceful lives. On that delightful evening we were fortified with a variety of ammunition for the ordeal which was to follow. We packed ourse1ves with roasted weenies, crullers, doughnuts and ice-cream. We were enjoying our- selves royally when suddenly, as a thunder bolt from a clear sky, the engagement of the lovely and charming Miss Stouffer to the gallant Mr. Carpenter was announced. To think that such a simple and beloved classmate as Carpenter should destroy himself was horrifying. Not only did this terrible event occur, but another one like it also came about. Another of our classmates, Brittain, young, innocent and helpless, fell a victim to the guiles and smiles of Miss Anna Marie XVilson. They were both chaperoned by Bess Horton, but she was a dismal failure as a chaperon. Those who still had some sense left were smitten, shocked beyond repair. Oh! what an awful VVeeny Roast that was. However, we soon collected our scattered wits and re-commenced our work. Bill Speer assailed us daily with his inevitable pliers; he roared chemical equa- tions at us and scribbled formulae upon the board, but of no avail. We were hopelessly lost. Not so with our member of the iiOld Guard? He was very successful in explaining to us the essential difference between spuds, onions and carrots, and under his excellent tutorship we learned much about Pharmaceutical Botany. Dry farming was then taken up in detail and resulted in great benefit to ourselves. A drug garden was started during this term and Mr. 'Echols who had recent1y returned from a trip to his home in Texas, laid it out. Jones and Smith came around wearing kid gloves and ate many of our sandwiches, but as far as doing any real workfthey did none. The girls brought the lunch and helped in the work, which was under the direction of Professors Echols and Baby Eddie. , The second term opened and our eager young minds, thirsty for more knowledge of potatoes and onions, were soon to be appeased. But a new disease was then discovered by the name of Third Newth and our handsome, gallant young Professor Chostner gave us a daily hypodermic injection of Castneris and Parkesi processes. Speer with his faithful pliers banged our way thru analytics and gave us distilled water to analyze. Wisner had a rare c01lscti0n of powdered beans. starch and sawdust known as Histological Pharmacognosy and each morning we gazed into our shining microscopes and thought we saw what he said was there. V During this term the culmination of our first disaster took place in the marriage of Miss Wilson to Mr. Brittain. The class immediately took up a lollection for the unfortunates and presented them with a handsome set of silverware. Thereupon they went away and were lost to us forever. We later learned that a child was born to them and named Anna Bell. Such was the finish of this dreadful tragedy. The third term began and we started Gravimetrics under Mr. Chostner. At this time a trip to Detroit was taken by the two classes. We were invited by Parke Davis and Frederick Stearns. We Visited the above two plants, the Ford 1918 ZEBB 332mm 85 plant, the Solvay plant and other points of interest. Soon after our return the great war burst upon us and many of our classmates enlisted. Among those were the following: HirsteHospital Corps, U. S. N. Clinth. S. Army. Spencer DavisaCo. L, Ind. N. G. BroderickeHospital Corps, U. S. A. Now in France. Hughes-Aviation Corps, U. S. A. HunsuckerHU. S. Army. HowisoneU. 8. Army. DabrowskieHospital Corps, U. S. A. Now in France. NickseU. S. Army. Now with the A. E. F. in France. SmithkAmbulance Driver, U. S. A. Now in Aviation Corps. ChrisnagelaU. S. Army. YateseU. S. Army. .When the Junior Year was near its close a farewell supper and dance was given at the new Gym. It was a pleasant affair and closed our first year. The Ph. C. students remained for the summer term, during which Mr. Carpenter enlisted in the Hospital Corps, U. S. N., and William Anderson enlisted in the Army; now in France. The second year began September 19, 1917, and we entered the realm of Materia Medica and Manufacturing Pharmacy. In this lab. one day Miss Breese wanted some tar for a tarred dish and beat Jones, Law, Stead, Stacy and Garretson to the supply window. 1 Mr. Edison began developing a misplaced tooth-brush and when he had a fair crop a committee of Senior and Junior Pharmics called on him and sepa- rated him from his girlishness. Mr. Law took a bottle of ammonia home and after that he never wanted any more ammonia. An active part was taken in the Pharmaceutical Association. Due to the efforts of Mr. Wisner and Echols, the President, many excellent papers were presented and a copy of each was placed in the library and can be consulted by future classes. Mr. Robbins, who was the President the second term, and Mr. Goines, who held the same office the third term, did exceedingly well. During the year Mr. Grant, of the Gary Steel Mills; Prof. Kraemer, of Michigan Uni- versity; Mr. Craig, former editor of the N. A. R. D. Notes; Mr. Miller, of Eli Lily and C0,, and Mr. Calkins, of the Gary Steel Mills, each gave the association an excellent address. - Mr. Sahm lectured to us at regular intervals on the subject of Commercial Pharmacy. He is a great devotee of the cash register and Mr. Schwartz was his most ardent disciple. At the end of this term Uefftl Davis and Fritz Press joined the Colors. The winter term now began and it meant warm work. We had more Manufacturing and Materia Medica. Dean Timmons harassed us daily with Organic Chemistry. Mr. Chan B. Kee gave us a lecture on Chinese Drugs and Irish Stew. It was a good cooking lecture, but we could not understand it. Outside of hard work, there is nothing exceptional to record. At the beginning of the Spring term our esteemed Prof. Chostner was called to Washington to join the Ordnance Department and Prof. Edison, who was hunkey in Speerls lab., now volunteered to join the faculty. A few weeks before this Jones enlisted in the Army. Aside frOm an occasional visit from Mercury and an exam in Organic Chemistry, which most of us will remember for the ease with which we Hunked it, and another exam in Materia Medica which will always make us blush, nothing further happened. Organic Chemistry was a jokeeon us, but Alkaloidal Analy- sis was simplicity in itself. We soon began to think about graduation, pictures and other things. 86 a 31th Rewrh I918 At this stage our Pharmic girls surprised the class and the school by pre- senting us with a service Hag containing fortyethree stars, representing all the Pharmics, both Seniors. Juniors and Alumni who had enlisted since the war began. This little deed of loyalty and honor to our comrades in arms is one of the grandest of our College experiences. The boys were not to be outdone; they took up a collection and presented the Department with an American Flag. Eli Lily and Company invited our class to visit their plant at Indianapolis and nearly the whole class went except those who were broke. We Visited their various laboratories and were given a grand banueqt at which Mother Grassl gave his talk on prohibition and Stacy acted. Mr. Goines made a speech and won the applause from the Companys offlcials. At the Keith Theatre, which W6 later Visited, our Deaifs marriage was discuss3d and Grassl was given the credit for causing Indiana to go dry. We had a fme time and will consider it one of our best and most profltable experiences. Just about this time Speishandler enlisted in the Ordnance Department. i In concluding these few anecdotes, let me state that l have left much to he said; I could not chronicle all those little events of College life. We had our bad times and our good ones, our sorrows and our joys, just like all previous Pharmacy classes. However, if these few brief remarks will some day force a smile and bring back aspleasant thought to some one of us, then my slight efforts shall be rewarded. SPEISHANDLER.

My D;ar Schwartz: Just home from the International Revision of the Pharmacopoeia. Am going to keep my promise and give you an account of my experiences in Paris, that is pertaining strictly to the revision. Other happenings I will tell you when I see you this coming fall. Man, you will be surprised to hear some of the strange things I am going to relate. First of all whom should I run into but old Mother Grasslfi I met him on the pier just a few moments before the ship sailed. XVe had a grand old reunion; he told me that he is the head of the concern that manufactures the national beverage HBryanolW My, but I was surprised to hear that, for they are a million dollar concern. His hobby is the cultivation of Belladonna. He had just heaps of news to tell me concerning some of our long-lost class-mates. Garretson has made a fortune in the drug business. He is a noted society man in Helena, Montana. Devot:s his spare time teaching the latest known steps to the dancing world. Did you know that Edison is teaching Materia Medica at Valparaiso? It seems that Prof. VVisner had to resign because of the grow- ing business of a large soda fountain which demanded all of his tiniz. He bought out the College Pharmacy. XVOLild you believe that the Home Economic Department is using Helen Stauffers text book on Hous:hold Chemistry? By the way I read an article some time ago announcing her engagement to a captain in the Navy. Iill bet it is the same fellow that started the ball rolling some twenty years ago. Lola Ferguson, he said, was back to Valparaiso lately. She is married to a doctor. It seems she gave up her practice of pharmacy to marry one of those fellows. What a shame! Lola informed the school that Bessie Horton is lecturing for a Chautauqua. She is telling the p:ople how to live happy on two thousand dollars a year. Grassl said he met Law recently in Detroit. He said Law is the man who discovered the celebrated anti-caustic ramedy that has proven a blessing to men engaged in the manufacture of ammonia. It is strange that Law should follow research along such a line. Stacy is doing very well in the drug business. He is on the Missouri State Board of Pharmacy. He has made a fortune on some patent for a telephone that can be used in bed without disturbing the comfort of the sleeper. Did you ever read of anything like it? And you remember Leinbke? Well, it seems that the lectures Prof. VVisner delivered on dry farming so inspired him that he could not resist the call to Arizona. He gave up pharmacy and went West. I never heard whether he succzeded or not. Now donit you think Grassl did well in locating so many of our old school- mates? And is it not a shame that we should have been so careless in our correspondence? Being busy men and women, is certainly no excuse. So you see our trip across was surely enjoyed. We raked in everything from our first day at school to the day of graduation. We arrived at Havre, and left immediately for Paris, as we had our baggage checked for the Cos- mopolitan Hotel. Our first evening in Paris we decided on a show. Not being very well acquainted with the popular plays we took in a comedy at the Daudet. They usually have some of the old clowns comedy there. Well, 88 0:112 332mm - 1918 when Pierrot came out such an applause I never heard in a theatre. On in- quiring of my neighbor who the famous down was I was informed he was Clest Monsieur Simsariau. Immediately Grassl and I remembered the old boy from Valpo. Imagine our surprise, Senarian the rage of Paris. W'ell, we waited until after the per- formance to see him in his dressing room. He was just as delighted as we were and told us how he happened to adopt the stage. It seems that on leaving school he was drafted, went to France. after the war decided to stay and go to school. 3ut Paris and the French women were too much for him. Chemistry - could not compare with the stage. Thus Armenia lost one of her greatest leather chemists. We inquired for Goins; he said the last he heard was that Goins was a guard in the Paris subway. Imagine telling the people in Paris where to get off at. ' The following day we went to the Sorbonne where the session was to be held. What a conglomeration we ran into, a modern tower of Babel. In the crowd I spied a big tall man I could not help but recognize as our friend Escovar. You would know him if it were a thousand years between meetings. He was on the Spanish translation of the Pharmacopoeia. Told me that he is as happy as a Chemist can expect to be. Has a family of fourteen. I told him it takes a lot to make some people happy. Narr, he said, is making a fortune ever since the women of his country could be induced to making use of the American face creams. If you remember, Sahm gave us a formula that would make any man wealthy, and Escovar says it is the secret of Narris, success. Rueda did not do well in the drug business, too cold for sundaes and sodas. He is now exporting stogies toothe American trade. At the afternoon session Grassl asked the chairman to announce a meeting of former Valparaiso students at the Chambre Vert Cosmopolitan. Having more money than he will ever need he tendered us a banquet. It was some banquet. It seemed that Valparaiso students dropped from the heavens. Carney was toastinaster and gave us an account of himself. He is an expert on biological chemistry. He is still interested in that great Violinist. Carney told that Stead and Wilson had dissolved partnership as consulting chemists. It appears that Stead bought out the Hotel Spindler, preferring the hotel business. Wilson is still an old bachelor; he is surely a lucky man to have escaped the wiles of so many of the fair sex. Miss Breese is the one about whom I have a story to tell. She is writing that stuff in the Associated dailies in the column of advice to the lovelorn. Now what do you know about that, and the way she hated the men in her younger days. Gertrude Lovell, do you remember what a cheerful little thing she was? VVelL Carney says she is a typical old maid, teaching chemistry in some finishing school for girls. Even at that, she may be happier than most doctors, wives. Steinhardt gave us a talk. He has become a. regular type of the Billy Sunday preacher. He still maintains an interest in the drug business. He has charge of the Russian translation. Yanikieff is also teaching chemistry in some Turkish university, having charge of the Turkish translation. He told us that Atanasoff is doing very well somewhere in Bulgaria, although it took a long time to persuade his people that sundaes were not so harmful. Mandlebaurn gave an. interesting talk on the new Republic of Jerusalem. Politics and essential oils are his line. And do you remember that little fellow, Ludgin, the shark in organic? W'ell, they say he is in line for the Nobel prize, for his work in Physical Isomerisms. I never thought a Valparaiso man would ever get there, but on a second thought I guess we had a splendid course in organic chemistry and dont you think those models of molecules that the Dean built helped wonderfully well? I do hope that Saint Peter will permit him to take them with him, otherwise the good old Dean will not want to stay in heaven. Kee was there on the Chinese translation. He is doing 1918 01313:: 332mm 89 nicely in a drug store. He wants me totell you that his people do not use Chop sticks for ice cream as most Americans believe. Andreapolis represented the Greek translation, has plenty of money, being married to a wealthy woman before leaving America. He is a retired Greek general. And I almost forgot Gruner. He came just as the last course was being served. We were mighty glad to see him. He is still far ahead of any of the European collodial chemists and gave us a discussion of his latest discovery. Now, my dear Schwartz, you will agree with me that I have related some very strange occurrences, still they are not any more strange than what you wrote me in your last letter, namely: tlThat Nelson had been given the chair in chemistry at Minnesota University. Nevins, a consulting Chemist in Pasa- dena, California, and Mendralski just elected president of the Chicago Pharma- ceutical Association. Of course Elvig giving up chemistry for music is not such a surprise, as he was noted as a musician. I cantt get over Kessler pre- ferring to teach elocution than chemistry, and a noted speaker. Illl bet he Often thinks that he has surprised himself as well as everyone else. I am ashamed at Brubaker deserting us for medicine. If it were anything else I would not care. Did you say that Robbins and Lichlinski are working on a new Materia Mediea and Pharmacognosy? Good luck is all I can say. I think the climax of your letter was concerning Echols giving up Photo-Microscopy and going back to Valpo to take a course in manual training. I think that is the limit. Wood carving must have had a strong fascination for him. It was too bad Spieshandler did not have such good luck with his last work, at any rate his History of the European War will live. Say, he must have gotten his inspiration from that Class History he wrote. I hope his critics never see it. Now I have written much more than I expected, and feel that I have wasted some of your precious time. You certainly must be a busy man managing that chain of drug stores for the Royalton Syndicate. Hope you are living up to our Class motto. For some reason I believe you are. Let me hear from you soon and tell me if you do not feel as I do, that this is a queer old world we have been placed in and that our class received their share of Lifets uncertainties. Sincerely your friend, JAMES J. BOYLE. 90 05112 332031731 1918 1918 05132 Remark 91 ENGINEER c1 4 L'IQ' 92 $132 332er 1918 FRANK THEROUX, C.

As a Designer of the Terpsiehorean Art, Joe was second to none, and probably one of the reasons why girls leave home can be ascribed to him. In spite of all these feminine virtues our Treasurer was well liked and never found wanting. JOHN I. Now, JR. New York City, N. Y. Recording Secretary of the A. A. E.

FAGER. we as graduate engineers, are entering into the business world at a most opportune time. The engineer is the man of the future. He has won his place in the world in the great European war. He is a leader of men. All the forces of nature respond to his call. To him belongs the destiny of nations. It is for us to prove the reality of this. Whether we measure up to the standard, only the future can tell, but let us realize theopportunities that are ours. A social reorganization is imminent. This fact is recognized by such men as Mr. Schwab and eX-Justice Hughes. There must be a reorganization of capital and labor. At the present time there is not a unity of interest, and until tinge is, there can not be a permanent peace between them. Under the present cogciitions, the best for which we can hope, is a compromise. Changing condi- tions are necessary to a permanent adjustment of the differences. The engineer stands mid-way between the capitalist and the laborer, and it logically becomes his duty to be the leader in bringing about the changing conditions. They must not be brought about hastily, but in the transformation there must be system, there must be no interruption of industry. A railroad engineer puts in a new bridge without any interruption of traffic and in the same manner will he bridge the difhculties between capital and labor. Brother Classmates and Engineers, arise and meet the crisis looming up before us. 36 glad that we have the opportunity to take one of the leading parts in the great reorganization. Let us get into the game and make the ideals of the true engineer count. The policy of the engineer is constructive, a building- 11p process. In bringing about the conditions for the future generations, let us oppose with our whole strength the destructive tactics of the anarchist; Our future depends upon ourselves. XVhat are we going to make of it? Are we going to fall down in the great test of ability to solve our problem? As we have handled our other constructive problems this great problem will also become a prey to the engineers genius. As we build, let us labor with pride in our work and when our work is completed, we shall know we have done our best, and that our best will be a lasting monument to our Alma Mater. 1918 013132 332:an 97 JUNIOR ENGINEERS.

It follows, therefore, that the Class of 1918 has its history clos:ly connected with the history of the events created or partaken of by members of the class. A true record of the events, trials, activities and achievements of the graduating mem- bers will be in place. It is of no small importance to record the successes of Wang and Novy in the field of tennis where they have shown expertness and great skill. Nor should Fageris and Fishers achievements in the surveying and draughting de- partments be sil nced even by the thunder of the seventy-mile guns. It is rumored that the Engineering News printed several years ago a moment stress diagram similar to the one which Fisher recently had blue-printed and a copy of which is among our archives. Is it possible that the Engineering News copied someone elses work? It is also proper to note that it is said on authority that Huntress, new method of keeping the A. A. E. treasury might lead to the adoption of new rules and donits in bookkeeping textbooks. And if we take in consideration the Vivid descriptions of games by Stephens, the suggestions by Solvason, the practical hints 'by Elliott, the more or less deliberative argu- ments by Walter, the newly discovered proof for the center of gravity with which Epstein surprised the ' worldf the efliciency of Streicher and the secretly kept experiences of Hwhen 1 was in Montanali Calkins, then the history of the class is eventful and intresting. We found our former dean, Professor Yeoman, at his desk advising stu- dents. arranging classes, and telling stories. His frankness and kindness were very encouraging to a stranger and newcomer. His acquaintance made. we came thru him in touch with our present colleagues. Acquaintances ripened into friendships which were in time cemented by common interest and mutual help. Our class studies, outside recreation, socials, A. A. E. meetings, and outings. kept us on intimate terms; friendly advice was unhesitatingly asked and gladly given. The A. A. E. of which our former dean is National Director, held meetings and had our attention once a week. Papers were prepared and delivered by members of this class. These meetings were also addressed from time to time by experts in different helds of enginering and this class feels proud to leave with the undergraduates a young and prosperous chapter of the A. A. E. This class took part in several evrntful trips to Chicago where railway and building construction, management and operation were closely inspected and analyzed. The social life of the class was also eventful. Numerous banquets were arranged and attended by this class; the members of the class came in closer touch with each other and this helped friendship to grow among them. The relations with the instructors and professors were very friendly, so much so that when Professor Yeomanls time to depart to Purdue came near at hand. the class with the aid of the other members of the Department arranged a 1918 ant 332mm 99 farewell banquet at which the toastmastershipk art was given suchient play by J. J. NOVY, and the departing dean was tried by Judge Calkins, Attorney Stephens and their assistants. Events followed in rapid succession. Our Dean Therous appeared on the scene; the chaptert', system was initiated. The Class took great interest in athletics supporting the engineering team in basketball and baseball. So en- thusiastic were they that Stephens departure to see the Worlds Series in Chicago was hailed with satisfaction and he was given a hearty sendoff. Due to the efforts of the present class organization for military training was successfully inaugurated and the majority of the leading officers were chosen from the Engineering Department. The above is but a brief retrospect of our activities. Space would not permit of a fuller account, nor would the occasion. A man holds that dearest which is within his memory.

Valparaiso University is going to havetthe pleasure of witnessing the produc- tion of quite a few Spring plays in the new theatre of the Dramatic Department, Crescent Hall. These plays will be entirely under the supervision and directorship of Dean F. J. Marston. The plays selected are those which will appeal to the audiences of today as the jovial Dean believes in the portrayal of modern per- formances. He states that the present day musical- comedies of the higher sort are just as artistic as the efforts of the old masters and more real original ability is required correctly to act these up-to-date bits. The student body should welcome this decision as the productions are bound to be interesting. It is very hard for even a talented amateur to portray deep, heavy characters and al- though a great amount of Work is put into the effort the result is not often well received by a young audi- ence whose members desire lighter, more humorous activities. We shall look forward to the announce- ment of the date of the first production with in- terest. STEEL CITY SEES DRA- MATIC STUDENTS. Our neighboring city of Gary Was Visited Thursday evening bv many students from the Dramatic Society. The object of the trip was for the pupils to hear the recitations given by the leading impersonator of the United States, Miss Juan- ita Frageman. The party VALPARAISO,INDIANA,hAAYI,1928 was chaperoned by Profes- sors Knepper and Marston, who were both classmates of the reader under Dean Tallcott. Since leaving Valpo, Miss Frageman has had a very successful career, and her work is stamped with the mark of genius. Dean Marston said that he con- sidered her impersonations in the HIron Cross to be the acme of all which he has seen while Miss Knepper is even more enthusiastic: in her approval. GOODMAN AT THE MAJESTIC. The advertisements for the vaudeville bill of the Majestic Theatre in Chi- cago this week feature the name of Miss Rose Good- man. This talented per- former left Valpo ten years ago to seek her fortunes 0n the stage and the fact that she is playing ttbig-time is proof of her prosperity. Miss Goodman had to work her way up from the Bu- chanan Circuit t0 the high- er booking agencies until today her manager is forced to turn down applications for engagements. TEN YEARS AGO Dean Rollo A. Tallcott 0f the Expression Deuartment has accepted a professor- ship in the dramatic work at Harvard University. Mrs. Agar resigns from the Dramatic Faculty to start a private school. Miss Leeta Knerer gave her graduation recital Satur- dav evening. Frederick J. Marston was chosen Editor-in-Chief of The Torch at the Student Council meeting Tuesday evening. Paul Miller left today for Camp Taylor. Mrs. Frances Tee Cole and Miss Rose Goodman were in Chicago Monday, trying out for vaudeville. NOTED LECTURER VISITS VALPO. Former Student of the Brown and Gold Returns for an Address. Ten years ago Paul Mil- ler was graduated from Valparaiso University with two degrees, a B. O. and an A. B. Since that time he has amassed many ap- pendages to his name from some of the most important Universities of Europe. Friday he comes back to us to give us his message of tire sent forth from his lips with all the flame of Oratory. He is recognized as being one of the ablest spokese men of Socialism and while his talk is not in the least radical, yet his conclusions are so emphatically ex- pressed that his words strike deep into the very heart of the listener. N0 attendant 0f the University should fail to hear Dr. Mil- ler. It is seldom that such a renowned speaker can be secured, but Mr. Miller graciously gave us the date because although he has won world renown he still cherishes the remembrances of his Alma Mater. FORMER STUDENT VVRITES. Word was received here this week from Miss Fan- nie Waller. who got a B. O. in nineteen eighteen. She is now located at Erost Louisiana, Where she is em- ployed as teacher of Ex- Dression in the High School. The letter states that the southern people like manv home talent plays, and her time has been occupied nearly whol- IV with this Work. Miss Waller is only one of the large army of Valpo grad- uates who have made good and we predict for her con- tinued success. 108 wins 332mm 1918 JUNIOR EXPRESSION CLASS Left to right: VVETTER, THWING, JOHNSON, GRAHAM, WESTBROOK, GOODMAN, MORSE, PARKER.

I918 , mbe Remark 127 39nt QEwnumits LO Y ALTY . There is an experiment described somewhere in the volumes of scientific lore which, although simple in its principl: and its execution, partakes some- what of the uncanny, the preternatural. A certain note is sung close to the strings of an open pianoesoft and loweout of the hitherto untouched instru- ment comes the response from the corresponding string. Thus among all our ideals and principles there is one that comes from our hearts like the lucky note touching the silent strings of happy recollrction conjures up, not a single, solitary response, but a wealth of melodyeLoyalty. The real significance of the term Loyalty is seldom realized. It is usually associated with the martial idea of military skill, of feats of bravery, of glorious Victory and heroic suffering and death in the Nationls cause. 'lut great as that signihcance is, it is but one phase of the meaning contained in the term Loyalty. It means the exercise of steadfast allegiance to self, to fellow-man, and to principle; Loyalty thens is a unifying principle and unity as we see from the daily experience is the greatest asset, the most inHuential factor for strength and success. We stand at a point which makes a great transition in our lives. The pages of our history close but to open again with a White expanse prepared for new recordings. As we peer out from our present abode and behold the unremitting hurry and bustle after wealth which, it seems, we are soon to join, we are somewhat astounded. Loyalty will be a good practical guide through this per- plexing maze. An example of loyalty may be found about the middle of the line of our chief men in the nationis history. This man is the nearest to our ideal of an American. As a persistent reminder that will ever echo in our ears there are the words of Shakespeare, who says: ltThis above all, to thine own self be true, And it must follow as the night the day, Thou canlst not then be false to any man? Surely no better guide could be found to follow through the remaining years of our' life. May our loyalty therefore shine out as never before in every work and action so that this University and future students of ltValpol, may feel proud to trace our steps, wending slowly through the ways of life, bearing us on in the fullest pursuit of duty, of honor, success and happiness. for God and Our Country.

This necessity arose from the fact that industrial and vocational studies had become important as a part of the Curriculum in the public schools and the training of the hand and eye bid fair to stand on equal footing with the languages, mathematics, and the sciences. With this idea in View the Manual Training Department was established in the summer term of 1903, with Prof. H. M. Appleman at its head. The aim was to give to all a thorough and practical training in the subject. In the fall term of the same year Professor H. F. Black became the head of the Department. Professor H. M. Appleman again took Charge in the summer term of 1904. Two years afterward Professor Black resumed the work. He has held that position to the present date. In the fall of 1911 Mr. F. L. Hyttiner was called in as Assistant. He came from far away Finland, the home of the Manual Training. Prior to his coming to Valparaiso he was Superintendent of one of the largest furniture factories in Chicago. 1 The Department graduated its first Class of four members in 1906. Each year the class was increased in membership; but in the present year the depart- ment has suffered more than its quota of loss due to the heavy demand for industrial workers. Not only has the Department lost in enrollment of students but also lost Prof. Hyttiner, who likewise answered the call of industrial service and accepted a position with the Curtis Aeroplane Company, Buffalo, N. Y. His place was filled by Mr. Charles Lape and the work of the Department continued as before. Due to the above mentioned cause the graduating class this year is abnormally small in proportion to the number of students enrolled, and those who have completed the course are so widely scattered in the various branches of service that it was impossible to secure photographs for a represen- tation of the class. The Department will survive the depression caused by the war and with the awakening to the need for Industrial Education the class membership will be larger in the future. hhhhhhhhh 138 mm 33203111 It is with the deepest regret that we are unable to show on this page the pic. ture of Miss.

The Primary Department is one of the later additions to the University. Primary work is a specialty which has been instituted only within the last ten years. Educators are realizing the necessity of a good foundation based not alone upon a general idea of the universe and facts pertaining to science and ethics. The Primary teacher must pursue a course so thorough that she will know the normal, abnormal, and subnornial child. Not only does the teacher need to know this, but she must know the biological, physiological, psychological, sociological and philosophical aspects of education. Not only does the teacher need to have a broad education and a broad experience, but she must also be adapted by nature and training in such a way as to meet the child on his own basis in order to fit him for the education beyond that certain particular development of his life. In other words, training specihcally the imagination and the judgment in all these lines of work. President Brown was convinced of the necessity of a Primary Training School for teachers in Valparaiso University when he heard Miss Ida Haines give lectures on the organization, plans, and methods in this line of work. Miss Haines was soon asked to make plans to organize such a department in this school. Miss Haines came for two summers acting hrst as an assistant in the Educational Department and giving two hours daily to the teaching of Primary work, but the demands for the work were so encouraging that she flnally remained permanently. A one-year course was established which consisted of three terms of general professional work. The demand for better trained teachers was still increasing, so another years work was added in which more college work was instituted and special kindergarten, manual training, and primary work was required, also, the student who entered was required to be a graduate from an accredited high school. A graduate from this Department does not go before the children in the public school to experiment upon them. She has had experience with methods that have been tried and approved by the very best teachers and has been encour- aged to organize and to feel a responsibility of the task before her. Thetraining is of such a nature that they can go into any school or community and follow any method that may be thrust upon her and work it out successfully. 1918 35132 332er I41 $15155 39mm? a The Primary Class of ,18 of Valparaiso University is one of the smallest in number, but still one of the most interesting classes in school. The girls who have finished this course feel that they can go into the public schools throughout the land understanding child nature. 3esides our special course in Primary Methods and lectures, we have completed a course in Psychology, Methodology, Child Study, Philosophy of Education, English, and Sciences. We, therefore, after a twomyear course in this work feel as if we have reached the place where we can go before children, not to experiment upon them, but to teach. We know the normal, abnormal, and subnormal Child, and the biological, psychological, sociological, physiological and philosophical aspect of Education. In short, we feel as if we know the exact solutions of the problems of a primary teacher. The class this year consists of three very bright and interesting young ladies who promise to be very successful Primary teachers. At the opening of the school in September, Margaret Kyle, of VValkerton, Indiana, entered upon her second years work. Margaret had one year of experience in HLeading the young ones in the paths of right, before she took up the yeafs work here. She had then completed her first years work in this department while studying here during the past few summers. It was, therefore, with much interest and zeal she entered upon the yeafs work. Miss lsla VVestfall, of Grayville. Illinois, who had finished the four-term course for a certiflcate, came again to Valparaiso University at the opening of this school year. She has had some experience as a Primary teacher in the public schools in her own State. Being a very bright and ambitious young lady she decided to return to the University to complete the course for a diploma. These girls will probably be seen here next year finishing their second yearts course in this work. Oh! yes, we must tell you about our adorable and lovable Dean. There was not a Dean thn the Hillti with a sweeter, more self-sacrificing, or more lovable disposition than was ours. She is a living example to every girl in the Primary Department of an ideal Primary teacher, every girl who wishes to go into the public schools as a Primary teacher, could take with her no higher ideal than Miss Ida Haines, the Dean of the Department of Primary Methods of Valparaiso University. She was one of the teachers who took a personal interest in each girl. To every girl who entered this department she gave the encouragement and inspi- ration necessary and helpful to the girls. Owing to the decrease in the enrollment this year, which had an effect upon this department along with all others, Miss Haines was able to give all of her special Primary Lectures and Methods classes in two terms, thus enabling her to spend the cold winter months in California, but Miss Haines is not idle. She is doing special Y. W. C. A. work while there. We miss her inspiration and help in that work here, but we are very glad she has had an opportunity to help others in that line of work while she was away from us. Miss Haines will return to V alparaiso University for the summer term, taking up her usual work. We will be very glad indeed to have her in our midst again. 142 05132 332mm 1918 1918 arm 332mm 143 iKinhPrgartm Eppartmmt 144 QEDB 332mm 1918 MRS. MARY HEMSTOCK, B. 5.

ELDORA HOLLIDAY. I was teaching a kindergarten in a suburb of one of our large Cities. I went into the city one day to look for some literature I wished to read. While there I noticed a sign which read IlMonsieur Cavelere, Clairvoyant. Now of course I didnt believe in these fickle, foolish things, but I thought I would go in and inquire about the Kindergarten Girls of Valpo-allS. There were only three, so I knew I would have sufficient time. The idea, I could hardly realize myself a settled, staid maiden of the youthful yet: sensible age of thirty-flve indulging in anything like this. I carefully looked around, adjusting my sailor hat to a daringly coquettish angle, and walked in. What would the school board say if they should see me, Priscilla May Oldgirl, cutting up so scandalously. I became frightened. I actually caught myself hoping he would be good- looking, rather princely, you know. I was first ushered into a beautiful reception room, richly furnished in costly tapestry. From here I was taken into a ghostly lighted room. Here behind a large jeweled brass bowl sat the wonderful Monsieur. He was dark, slim and somewhat of the Will ol the Wisp type. He looked at me, first at my hat, next at my shell-rimmed spectacles, then at my waist tone that my Aunt Lucy had before she died, not a tear in it, good as newl. When he saw my square-toed, sensible shoes, a slight smile upon his manly face was Visible. Ah! Surely, I was just the type of a girl that conformed to his ideal. I told him for what I had come. He took a jeweled wand, waved it three times above the brass bowl. Immediately a blue vapor arose. I watched it. What? Were my eyes deceiving me? Surely not. In that blue vapor I could see a form seated upon a high trestle, as calmly as could be. There she worked diligently but gently, massaging the face and manicuring the nails of the hands of the Valo town clock. I had always declared IrmaIs ambitions would be lofty ones. The blue vapor disappeared. The Monsieur waved his hand. Again the vapor arose. This time I saw a young woman standing in front of a tent. Swarms of people seemed to be entering the tent. Presently I saw a placard, IlThe Only Two Germans in Captivity, now being exhibited by Mme. Clara Benham. Just one more Classmate. I looked across the bowl at the superb figure opposite me. I sighed. why couldnlt there have been a large graduating class! The third and last time the blue vapor arose as mysteriously as before. This time I saw a stately figure, carrying a small traveling bag, tramping through a jungle. Here. to my surprise, was ltSChochie in the heart of Africa, selling collar buttons, neckties, shoestrings and many other fancy notions to the natives. They were buying, too. How could they help it. No one could resist her smile and abundant line of talk. The vapor disappeared. I gave one departing look at the wonderful Monsieur. The maid in the next room was quite ready to collect my dollar and a half. I left the place feeling so happy because of finding out about my Class- mates, that my step was quicker and my eyes shone brighter. I came to the conclusion thatewell, clairvoyants arenlt so bad after all. I918 015132 332mm 147 41215155 Jaigtury ERMA HAAS.

The members are elected from their several classes, and serve for the year. Their duties are numerous and often trying. It is theirs to take care of the athletics, booking the games and holding the various contests which the athletes take part in during the year. The large gymnasium is the work of the student council and its friends and the upkeep of this building is part of their task. , They hear the complaints and criticisms of the students and take action upon them from time to time as the spirit of the school seems to desire. Their power is only limited by the University authorities, who have the power to veto any and all measures passed upon by the council. They are the representative body of the students. When any one has a grudge the only place he can think of is to take it to the council or raise a kick about it to them. Of course it is not possible to please every one, the 01d sages told us that a long time ago, but then the council always intends to comply with the Wishes of the majority of the students. Some give them the name of grafters and smooth politicians, but then every one knows that is far below such a body, and as to the little grudges some have and the kicks they have to make, the council is hardened to such that it is just like pouring water on a duckis back to howl at them.

The nine enter- prising young people who determined to organize a literary society last December were firm in their intentions to make good. And they have; with the help of other members who were admitted from time to time, and who have been no less faithful in attendance and interest. Hitherto, Valparaiso University has boasted no organization of this character. The English Club bids fair to rival the success of the old Star and Crescent Societies. The one and only aim of the Club is WORK. But let no one say that its members find the meetings boresonie. On the contrary the fortnightly niecting is looked forward to with pleasure and serves as an inspiration to those students who belong. The subject of study for the first twelve weeks was Robert Louis Stevenson, and if you see a student going about the hill who looks wise when that worthy is mentioned, you will know that he is thinking of his newly acquired knowledge and is proud of it At present the Club is studying Mark Twain and Henry Van Dyke. The original or Charter members of the Club were: Elton Hickman Virginia Mora lrene O'Donnell Ethel Rands Christian Miller Vernon Cooper Lillian Walter Eloise Herrel Clara Harrell The Club owes a debt of gratitude to Prof. B. F. Williams for the interest he has taken in the society, and for the zest added to each meeting which he has attended. Prof. Williams and Mrs. Talcott both possess honorary membership in the Society. You may be a good student and not belong to the Club, for its membership is limited to fifteen, but you cannot be a nienibir of the Club and not be a good student! That is the unwritten law. When, in the future our Alma Mater takes stock of her great men and successful women, we are sure that not a few will have written their names in the roll of the English Club.

The Club was organized by the Class of 1916 with a restricted membership of twenty-four. The membership is confined to the elite of the Law Class. The Club this year has established one precedent, the admission of the girls of the class. The purpose of the Club is to promote the development of our ability to discuss familiarily those topics which are of interest to the members of the organization, to further the social interests of each of the members, and to offer to them matters of interest and importance other than those which occupy our minds in our regular course of work. Two twenty-minute talks on legal subjects are given by the appointed speakers, after which each of the other members respond with a two-minute comment. A permanent critic, who is elected for the term, offers suggestions on the delivery. We have been fortunate in having L. R. Holmes and Mrs. D P. Reynolds With us as both are graduates of the Elocution Department. We boast of two honorary members: Dean Bowman and Prof. John Boman. Their renditions before the club will long be remembered for the valuable thoughts they contained. To vary the usual programme the club ttStagedTi a mock trial, Viz.: Emanon Club v. Rodolfo A. Medel. The accused was ably defended and was acquitted by the Emanon Jury. When the snow drifts were the deepest the Baptist Parsonage was aglow with lights as the club members and their sweethearts partook of a sumptuous banquet. They listened to the witty toasts in response to the toastmaster, Mr. Strahan. Dean and Mrs. Bowman were present, and the Dean entertained the guests with a humorous speech. This helpful association has cemented strong the bonds of friendship among the members, and the memories of the golden past will live long in the minds of those who participated in its pleasures and' benehts.

It is that of the moral and spiritual development of the young women in the college. The Y. W. C. A. is an Association of young women, by them, and for them. Its high aim is first to serve its members spiritually, then socially and in an athletic way. Socials are held each term which help the girIs to become acquainted. The athletic branch of the Y. W. C. A. is active throughout the year. During the fall term the girls organize a basket-ball team. The work of the group also includes calisthenic exercise of various kinds, hikes, marshmallow roasts, and tennis. But this is not all. VVeII-known speakers and lecturers of local and national reputation speak to the girls of the University from time to time on subjects pertaining to intellectual and moral education. The officers of the Y. W. C. A. for the school year of 1917-1918 were Blanche Evans, Student Secretary; Lillian Walters, President; Elizabeth Nesbit, Vice-President; Lela Mullendore, Fern Mosher, Juanita Fragman, Beulah Eeshears, Buna Beshears, Gertrude Sparks, 11a Smith, and Mary Blair, composed the chairmen of the various committees of the Young VVomenE Association.

To try to enumerate the aims and purposes of the Young Merits Christian Association, worId-wide as it is in its scope, would be only a repetition of the factsiwhich have already been brought before the eyes of the public, in general and especially in the war work they are now doing. ' It has been brought before the eyes of students because it is an Association for students and young men. While our friends and co-workers have been administering to men of all nations on the battleiields of France and Russia, the home organization, although drained of some of its best secretaries, have gone to work with a will backing up the fellows at the front, and the secretaries who have gone TTOVCY Thereii in the Y.

With the resignation of Mr. McCullough, the task of finishing the years work was thrown entirely upon the cabinet. 'The Board of Directors, being unable to fill the vacancy left by Mr. McCullough. And though without a residing secretary, the work has progressed very nicely and has been given better support by the young men of the college than in previous years. SOCIALS. The Y. M. C. A. activities started this year with a men,s meeting in Elocution Hall. All of the young men of the college were invited to this social. They were divided into groups according to states, as follows: Married state, neutral state, un-Inarried state, and reinstate, after which a farce athletic meet was staged. The second Social event of the season was the joint social the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. held at the University Gymnasium on Friday night before Halloween, which was a great success, and the young people showed their love for doughnuts and sweet cider. The last and largest event of the season was the Christmas social given at the Gym on Christmas Eve, to which both town people and college students were invited, and they responded with enthusiasm, and when the last arrival was counted the doorkeeperis figures showed that the crowd had passed the five hundred mark. The program was chiefly historical. The Symphony Orchestra, led by Mr. Stephens, rendered several beautiful selections of music. The University Chorus of about fifty voiEesigave several numbers, 1.64 EBB RBEUI'D 1918 the most popular of which was tTSilent Night? given with the lights dimmed and the two Christmas trees fully aglow. The Membership week, held between October 10th and October 14th, was a great success. The Y. M. C. A. succeeded in enrolling as members 46 per cent of the men in college. The Hand Books given out at the beginning of the Fall Term were a great benefit and were appreciated very much by the students. Two Chicago trips were taken, conducted by the Y. M. C. A., one in the Fall TERM and the other in the Spring Term, for the purpose of hearing Billy Sunday, and both trips were thoroughly enjoyed by all who went. The Saturday evening meetings held at six o'clock in Elocution Hall have as a whole been well attended and the committee men in charge feel well repaid for their efforts. Among some of the best meetings were lectures by Dr. Zoethout, Dr. Gelston, Prof. John Boman, and Rev. W'illiams. Some of the most popular things found in the Y. M. C. A. daily curriculum were the song services just after. supper every evening, and to say the least it is more than enjoyed by the fellows. They meet in the lobby of the Y. M. C. A. and sing popular and patriotic songs. This feature is becoming more popular every day and the fellowship and love for their Alma Mater is increasing. The Vesper services held each Wednesday evening in the lobby of the Y. M. C. A. have all been well attended, and much good has been accomplished by this Chance for the fellows to air their religion and beliefs. Student speakers spoke at the meeting all the season, no outside lecturer was called, and the addresses given by the best student speakers in school were received with pleasure by the young men present. The cabinet men for the year were: Fisher, President; Hanemann, Vice- President; Doty, Treasurer and Acting Student Secretary; Larrew, New Student Committee and Editor of Students Hand-Book; Dorny, Meetings Committee; Gillispie, Foreign Student Committee; Stapleton, Devotional; Hickman, Bible Study; Elliott, Membership Committee; Bedford, Editor of Students Hand-Book in 19161917; Hanemann, Social Committee. Other members of the Cabinet were: Black, Graham, Conway, Deiner, Twing, Nelson, and Merwin. Throughout the year the Y. M. C. A. maintained an Employment Bureau, to assist the student desiring work to find employment and to help people wishing for help to find them and in this manner many people and the town were accommo- dated and many students found employment who would otherwise have been without it. ROBERT DOTY. 1918 $132 332mm 165 AW?! CfIARLLITTE Q EMaTT 166 mm 332mm 1918 from the fountain of mimir Few students are now in school who remember the basket ball days of Empire Hall; fewer remain who witnessed the hard-fought battles in the old white church? The 1101d white chnrchu should be a spot held in reverence by the students of the brown and gold, for it was there that basket ball was given its birth. The writer remembers with great pleasure the intense rivalry shown by the teams who competed there. Playing under the most adverse conditions as regards the court itself, and this coupled with an enthusiastic crowd which over-taxed the capacity of the building, our predecessors instilled in the hearts of Valpo students a great desire for more inter-departmental athletics and a Varsity team in every branch of manly sport. With this desire came an urgent demand for a larger place in which to hold athletic meets of any kind. The demand for more space was met by a change of the basket ball court from the Hold white churchli to Empire Hall. But with the larger space came better games; with the better games came larger crowds; with larger crowds interest in basket ball grew; with increased interest came a Varsity team; the same over-taxing of the capacity of the building. As the culmination of all this came the only logical demand-a gymnasium of the students, by the students, and for the students, where conditions would be more ideal for both the spectators and the players. 70m Gymli-and that is what it should always be called, for it belongs to us, the students of V. U.-was built in 1917. This was a tremendous leap for us to make in four years, when one considers that no athletic fee was charged the students until the beginning of this year. But with men of such caliber as Dean R. C. Yeoman and our Student Council of 1916-17 most anything and everything was possible. The manner in which they executed the building of the gymnasium, and controlled and governed it after it was built, brought much favorable comment from every one, and more confidence was placed in the Student Council by both the faculty and the students. True it is that we only had two Varsity games in the gymnasium last year, but it was the fault of no one person 713m group of persons. It is sufficient to say that we now have an idealrplaee In which to hold our basket ball games and other athletic events, and everything Was in readiness for the season of 1917-18. As a finishing touch to m their stupendous work, and as an assurance of the continued life and growth of athletics, the 1916-17 Student Council obtained the consent and the co-operation of the University authorities in the payment of an athletic fee by. each student. Because of the war, the season of 1917-18 held no great promise of athletics so earnestly desired. In those days of gloom there were only two shining lights, the Athletic Committee of the Student Council and the new Athletic Director, Sidney Winters. Our dark clouds dispersed when it was learned that we had a heavy basket ball schedule, playing such teams as the University of Chicago, Lake Forest, Notre Dame, etc. Every one looked forward with anticipation to the opening game. The season opened on the seventh of December and was 1918 whiz 332cm: 167 brought to a close on the twenty-second of February. The season was marred only by the intervention of King Weather, who prevented us from going to Notre Dame by sending one of his most choice blizzards, blocking all the railroads, and the necessity of cancelling some of our games. Our Varsity played nine games, winning seven of them. They played remarkably well, and every member of the team earned fully the letter awarded them by the insignia board. The deserving men to whom V s were given were Captain Dalrymple, Folb, Coonrod, Fair, Schwartz, Latanzi, and Murphy. We feel that much progress has been made athletically this year and at the present rate it shall not be long before Valparaiso University takes the place it rightfully should haveea place among the Big Ten.

I68 QUJB 332mm 1918 from the 3mm of the ?msket Before the White Sox had copped the pennant in the VVorldls Series and while the road to Sagerls was yet the fatIorite place of the night promenaders, our national indoor sportebasket ballewas being given a new birth on our Campus. Because of the fact that there was no inter-departmental basket ball last year, owing to the delayed completion of the gym, all the varions teams were out with the determination to be the first team to carry away a basket ball pennant from the new gym. The Lawyers claimed that the pennant was as good as won by them; the Pharmics planned to hang it in their lecture room with their other trophies of Victory; the Engineers bubbled over with confidence and talked Kldark horsell continually, while the Scientihcs had the best llon paper team'that had ever been brought together. Practice nights were assigned to the various teams and the work of conditioning began. On November second, amid the din of the band and the croakings of the bleacherites the hostilities commenced. From that time on until the hnal game had been played it was an even bet as to who would take the pennant. At first it looked like a walk away for the Pharmics; the next week it looked the same way for the Scientiflcs. Then came a reversal in form for the Pharmics and a defeat of the pill rollers by the Lawyers, who now loomed up as a formidable opponent of the Scientifics. The Pharmics kept falling down, and the Engineers started climbing up the pennant ladder, trying to shake down either the Lawyers or the Scientifics, or both. They failed in their efforts to reach the top of the pennant ladder and the season of inter-departmental basket ball ended with the Scientihcs and the Lawyers occupying an equal share of the top rung, the Engineers half way down, while the Pharmics had to content themselves with the occupancy of the last rung. The tie between the Lawyers and the Scien- t-itics could not be played off because of the heavy Varsity schedule. While the aforesaid inter-departmentalr games were in full swing, the Athletic Director sent out a clarion call for players to try out for Our Varsity. The response was anything but gratifying and for a time it looked as if we would have nothing more than a mediocre team. Dalrymple was unanimously chosen captain, and nightly practice was the order of events so as to whip the team into shape for the Varsity games. Our first opponents were the University of Chicago. As was to be expected, Our Varsity did not play with the mac'hine-like precision which Characterized the later games. And what could be expected of a team composed of players from all parts of the United States? Each player was accustomed to playing with a different style and on a differently constructed court. As it was, the showing Our Varsity made against such opponents as the University of Chicago was far beyond our expectations. By much hard work the Haws which showed themselves in our first game were polished off and when Kent Law came to play us on December the fourteenth we defeated them to the tune of 27-14. The next Victim to help satisfy our increasing appetite was Crane College. Those who knew of this team boosted them to the skies, but we set down Crane I918 1113b: 332mm 169 with a score of 36-19. Anxious for bigger game, Our Varsity next tackled the Whiting Owls, who boasted a line up of crack college players. The aforesaid team were not crack players, but cracked players after the game, Our Varsity doing the cracking by a 25-22 score. The same team-VVhiting Owlswlater won the Championship of Indiana. At the expense of many brain cells the Editor has finally deduced that since we defeated them Our Varsity is the real Champion Team of Indiana. In order to bring to Valpo some martial life, a game had been scheduled between the Camp Custer Team and Our Varsity for January nineteenth. Unfortunately, Camp Custer had been in quarantine for several weeks preceding the game and the men suffered from lack of practice. Again we triumphed, 43-13. We must now call in the scene shifters to take away the familiar scenery of Our Gym and to set the stage for the hostilities at the gymnasium of the Lewis Institute of Chicago, whither Our Varsity betook themselves on the night of January twenty-hfth. They were accompanied by our best and noisiest rooters. In spite of the fact that Our Varsity was playing under conditions which were the opposite of their own basket ball court, they came out on the long end of the 24-11 score. On February fifteenth we met the Gary Y. M. C. A. on our home floor and we also met our Waterloo, being defeated by a score of 35-20. It was an off night Jfor Our Team, Dalrymple, Our Captain, playing against the orders of a physician, Cooneyll was hurt and had to be replaced by one of the substitutes, Fair was home in bed and this necessitated a radical change in the line up of Our Team. The defeat was an expected outcome of the sum of all these misfortunes, and although Our Team fought gamely they were unable to overcome the handicap under which they were playing. The next week-February twenty-third-with Our Captain back in good shape, and ttCooneyil playing a full game, Our Varsity again hit its winning stride. On that night Lewis Institute came to Valpo to play us a return game. From the first blast of the referees whistle Valpo had the Lewis Team on the defensive and kept them there during the whole game. the slaughter ending with a score of 8-32. Just as it was fitting to start off our whirlwind season of basket ball with a team like Chicago U., in equal measure was it as fltting to draw to a close the most successful basket ball season Valpo has ever had with a team of such caliber as the tearn of Lake Forest College. This was the hardest fought game of the whole Varsity schedule. Many pages could be written on this one game alone, but time nor space permits going into detail. Suffice it to be said that it was a hard fought contest from the beginning on to the very end. The nearer the end came, the less sure could anyone have said who the Victor would be. It was not until the whistle signifying the end of the game had been blown that we were sure Valpo had won. The ball which was shot at the basket by Folb was yet'in the air when the time-keeper shot off the gun ending the game. The score at that time was 25-25. Spurred on by the cheers, prayers, and groans of the vast crowd, Our Varsity had played as they never played before. It was the last game of the season and they did not want to leave that basket ball court with a defeat by which to remember their basket ball days of old V. U. The game was a deadlock until with only a second or two left of the playing time, Folb got the ball by intercepting a pass. Quick as a Hash he shot it for the :70 15132 332mm 1918 basket, although he was beyond the center of the iloor. It seems that the ball was guided by Divine aid, because the shot was an almost impossible one to make, considering the distance and the position Folb was in at the time he shot the ball. Be that as it may, the ball, after making a perfect arc, dropped into the basket without even touching the rim, making a veritable Aeolian harp of the basket netting. And it was music to our ears for it sang a song of Victory and we departed from the scene of conflict with joy in our hearts. It was a wonderful closing of a wonderful basket ball season. As the basket ball men comprising Our Varsity left the floor for the last time as members of the Basket Ball Team of Valparaiso University, every one felt and knew that it was the passing of a great team-the kind we read about. but seldom see. What does the future hold for us? We cannot say. Few of the men of this years team will be back here at school next year and it mzans the building up again of a team. We hope that it will be a team that con hold or even surpass the record made by this years team. A wonderful start has been made and with the reputation made by this years team, the way has been paved for a wonderful future for basket ball at old V. U.

We too little realize what a great debt we owe to an Athletic Director, and especially to our present one-aSidney VVin- ters. Here is a man who came to us in 1915. after having finished two years as an In- structor of Athletics at Yale University, and we honor him, or as I should say, he honors us by taking upon himself the Herculean task of Athletic Director. Sid has been closely connected with athletics all his life and is well versed in all sports. He is a boxer of no mean ability and is at present Lightweight Wrestling Champion of the Eastern States. After being elected Athletic Director, he pro- ceeded to get in touch with the Athletic Di- rectors of the various nearby colleges with the result that we had the largest number of Var- sity games this year that Valpo has ever had. Due to the fact that the schedules of most col- leges are made during the summer months he was unable to schedule as many games as he could have otherwise done. 3ut considering that we are at war with Militarism and the condition of athletics at all colleges, Sid has done remarkably well. As it was, we had as many games of Varsity basket ball as any other college and more than most of them. After the schedule was arranged came the task of choosing a team and whipping them into shape. Here Sid again showed his well-needed knowledgeabut what is the use of discoursing further. We all saw Our Team outplay their opponents time and again and even invade the lair 0f the enemy and come home with the llbaconf, The credit for all this belongs mainly to Sid because he, by his indefatigable work, both in the Gym and out of it, made these things possible. Yes, I can surely count my time well spent that I have expended upon this short, weak article. 172 3113132 Baum I918 CAPTAIN ALLEN L.

He furnished the nucleus around which was built the greatest basket ball team that ever stepped on the Hoor for old V. U. Dally is a home product, having played on the local High School team, which team, in 1916, won the Championship of Northern Indiana. He was Chosen as the center of A11 Sectional Team of Indiana in 1916. Dally played in only one of the two Varsity games of 1916-17 on account of sick- ness. What he has Hone this year is almost useless to relate. You who have seen him in action, covering more of the Hoor, shooting more baskets, than any of our own or oppos- ing players, the clean sportsmanship displayed by him at all tirn:s, and the generalship he showed, can realize what Dally means to Our Varsity. We are fortunate in that Captain Dalryinple will be in school again next year. we HERBERT B. SCHWARTZ. itHerin The man with the pep, science, and team- workethatls Herb. Before coming to Valpo, Herb played forward on the Royalton tMinnJ High School Team for three years, captaining the team in his senior year. He was elected captain of the Pharmic team this year, play- ing forward on that t am until the voluntary decision of the Varsity players to refrain from participating in the inter-departmental games was made. Herb is a consistent player with whom few guards can keep pace, an accurate shot with a leaning for shots from beyond the center of the Hoor, a Clever passer, and a lover of teamwork. Herb won his V in base ball last year. Schwartz graduates this year, but he may be back in school here again next year.

Folb was the Gibraltar of Our Varsity and it was due to his almost uncanny skill in break- ing up passes that Our V arsity was enabled to finish the season with the high percentage of games that it did. KtVerdunL' is without question of doubt the greatest back guard that Valpo has ever had. He was always where he could do the most in preventing the oppos- ing players from making baskets. He has the science, teamwork, speed, in fact everything that is needed to make a star player. His High School Team was the Champions of Long Island for three consecutive yearse Nuf Sed.

The truth is that it was only some of our athletes training for the annual cross-country run. On Thanksgiving morning at nine otcloek our future Merediths assembled at the athletic held. A large number of stars, past, present and future, were entered. costumed variously from regulation track suits to l3. V. Dls. The course was l'lVC miles, starting by encircling the athletic field once and ending by a double circuit of the cinder path. Eleven men lined up for the start, and after having the law set down to them by the starter, judges, clerks 0f the course, and the referee, the starting gun was fired and the race was on. While the runners were on the road, the spectators were treated to a band concert by the University band. The concert was followed by a llprofessionalll race between Professors Hamilton and Dam- ron. Professor Hamilton won by a length 6 ft. 5 inJ. After the get-a-way from the athletic field Roy Brooks, of Medical fame, jumped into the lead closely followed by Ekendahl 0f the High School Department. Brooks held the lead all the way back to the athletic field with Ekendahl a few yards behind him all the time. On the first trip around the held Brooks and Ekendahl ran neck and ntck, but on the second circuit Ekendahl opened up, gave the engine a little more gas, passed Brooks, and reached the tape a few yards ahead of him. Brooks was followed by Ballard, Taft, Starcher, Callen, Doty, and Ostrander. who hnished the race in the order named. This was the extent of our track activities for the yeart In the spring a track meet was a thing impossible of attainment because of the few students left in school and the lack of interest shown by them. The only department to show any signs of preparation for a track meet was the Lawyers. During the winter they had elected W illiam 0311M Bronson as their track manager. Bill immediately began to find out who was who, and what was what, as concerned track athletics. He reported several sprinters, and a crack miler who holds many records in the West and who has yet to be beaten in a race. The Medics elected a track man- ager, but that was as far as they progressed, as did the High School Department. From all reports it looks as if the Lawyers would have taken the track meet. At any rate, much credit is due to Bronson for his efforts. It is hoped that next year the kaiser will have learned that there are a few other people who want to have something to say about the future destiny of nations beside himself, and that Valparaiso University will again enjoy all the forms of athletics which have played such an important part in the life of every student attending this Institution. 1918 05132 332mm 179 SAFE! .

Many were: the stars touted to be Varsity material during the session of the Hot Stove League. With the coming of milder weather the talk drifted to the possible winners in the inter-departmental series. Every manager of an interdepartmental team was confident that his team would carry off the pennant at the end of the series. On March thirtieth the various pilots set out with their crews upon the sea of base ball. The Pharmies were favored with good weather, coming back to port with a 5-1 Victory over the Scientihcs, who had been beealmed shortly after leaving their dock. The Engineers, likewise, were blessed with favorable winds, coming back with a boat load of dead Legal Lights. The following week the crews again set sail: The Pharmics again were favored, putting back to the quay with the scalps of the Engineers, while the followers of Blackstone took our students of Darwin and Lamarck in tow. Thus ends the troublesome voyages of the inter-depart- mental teams upon the baseballic sea. The Pharmics docking their boat first, the Lawyers and the Engineers arriving in port at the same time, and the Scien- tiflcs arriving home a week later. In the interim the Varsity players of the baseball team of 1917 met and elected Herbert B. Schwartz as the captain of the 1918 Varsity team. Next came the call for the players to try out for the Varsity. A goodly number re- sponded and were given work-outs in their various positions. Feeling the need of a coach for the team, Harry Edgington of last years Varsity team was drafted for the position. The team was picked and we were now ready to cross bats with any and all teams. Director Sid scouted around looking for games. The season was to open on- the twentieth of April with a gigantic parade, a flag raising, and many other novel attractions. The weather man thought differently about it. however, and sent us some of coldest rains for a few days preceding the contest and also on the day the big opening was to take place It was a bitter pill to swallow, because our opponents were the University of Wisconsin. This would have been the first game we ever played with the U. of W. and Our Varsity were confident of winning. Such is Life! On the follow- ing Saturday the weather man was again on the job, but not as industriously as he had been the Saturday previous. After ransacking the wardrobe for our warmest clothes we betook ourselves to the athletic field to see Our Varsity per- form. The sacrifice offered up was the Saint Stanislaus College team of Chicago. They were one of the strongest teams Chicago has ever had and one of the hardest to beat. The only thing hard that we found about them was how to pronounce their names. This game served to show the baseball fans of these parts that V. U. had a team of baseball players of whom any University would be proud. The score of the Valparaiso-St. Stanislaus game was 44, with Our Team on the long end of course. 182 215132 33203143 I918 On the fourth of May Our Varsity was scheduled to meet the baseball team of the University of Indiana in deadly eonllict. The day was an ideal day for baseball in contrast to the weather handed out to us on the previous Saturday. A parade was held before the game and after traversing the main streets of our fair city, the procession wended its way to the baseball field. Indiana came to us with the reputation of having a strong team. Hanson was on the mound for the brown and gold with Drye behind the bat. The game was a see saw all the way, and the game was apparently stowed away for us time and again only to have something happen to bring it back to a tie. Time and again Our Pitcher was forced to exert himself to save us from defeat, but he displayed that same cool headedness which is one of his greatest assets and pitched himself out of the tight places. At the end of the ninth inning the score stood 3 all, in the tenth the same, as did it in the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth. In the Indiana half of the fourteenth, Wrashburn succeeded in getting on the paths by making a hit. Shafer, the next man up, also got a hit, advancing VVashburn to second. A wild throw to catch Shafer at first base enabled VVashburn to advance to third, Shafer taking second. Hanson was up next. Finding one to his liking, he whaled it on the nose for a home run, the ball sailing over the head of the center lielderls head as far as the tennis courts. With the crack of the bat VVashburn and Shafer started from second and third, respectively. As soon as VVashburn crossed the plate the game was won for us, although Shafer and Hanson completed their circuit of the sacks. The crowd surged upon the fleld, raised Hanson to their shoulders, and began a march of triumph. It was as if all the heavens had broken loose; caps and hats hlled the air; people embraced one another, while some started to do a snake dance across the diamond. Our Varsity had won a game from one of the BIG TEN and had just reason to be overjoyed. It was the best game that we had ever seen on our athletic field. Every player deserves a great deal of credit for the splendid playing they did. But far above the rest was Hanson, Our Pitcher. He played the greatest game of his life that day. There was nothing that he could not do. He stopped, one handed, drives that seemed to be good for two bases, caught them bare handed, saved us from defeat not only by his pitching, but by his clever head work, and then to top off the whole affair he steps to the plate in the fourteenth and knocks the ball to the tennis courts driving the winning run home. By the time this article is in your hands the baseball season will be over. We are confident that the men Captain Schwartz has assembled together will uphold the past baseball prestige of V. U. By their Victory over Indiana alone they have made a long stride. And when Militarism is a thing of the past, as we hope it will be by the next time the baseball season rolls around, we Will again start with the baseball and that this time it will be with a determination to broaden out as we would have done this year had not the war intervened. It would not be right to leave the subject of baseball without saying some- thing about the personnel of the team that has done so much to further the baseball prestige of the Brown and Gold. Press time is about one hour off so not much can be said about each one. 1918 mm 332mm 183 EDGINGTONaThe coach of the team; performs out in the left garden; per- sonal steadier of the pitchers.

FAIReiiOur Little Fair Boy, played on the Varsity team of 1917. He is a letter man, having won his V on the baseball team of lst year and the basket ball team of this year. He is the best second base man we have seen at Valpo in several years. He is lost by graduation. KOVALSKIEaThis is the first year of baseball here for Kovalskie. He comes to us with a great reputation, having played on some of the best amateur teams of Chicago. He is an excellent batter, fast on the paths, the best place hitter that we have yet seen outside of professional baseball, and a wonderful inhelder. He is as good. if not better, than the renowned jeff Davis of past fame. ' JOHN DRYEeiJOhn started out by holding down center field, but when Heine left school, John was given the task of holding the offerings of Pitcher Hanson. John is a strong batter, a good catcher, and a lover of teamwork. ANDERSONeAndy is our star first baseman, and a heavy stick artist. He fields much better than he recites Law. He is lost by graduation. CAPTAIN SCHWARTzaThe star forward of the basket ball team, a membtr of last years Varsity baseball team, and an all around athlete. He was the logical choice for the captaincy of the Varsity team this year. Herb is a strong batter, a better fielder, and the man to instill the much desired pep into the players. He won his letter in baseball last year. Captain Schwartz is lost by graduation. BEINEei'Ie secured the berth 0f catcher Of the Varsity team this year. He has been a ball player ever since he has been old enough to throw. Beine is one of the best catchers that we have ever had. He is an accurate pegger, on whom few players try to steal, and fewer succeed in doing so. Beine left school before the close of the Varsity season. HANSONeOur main stay and hope in the pitcher's box. He is the man who struck out fourteen men in the Valpo-St. Stanislaus game. Hanson is a. steady pitcher whom no one can excite. With the bases full, Hanson is as cool as can be and proceeds to retire the side by fanning enough men to make the required 184 mm 332mm 1918 number of outs. The tighter the pinch he is in, the better he is able to pitch. He is a batter of no mean ability, and a clever fielder. ZIEGsAnother player Who: won his letter as a member of the Varsity team of last year. He holds down the third sack and is also a pitcher. Zieg is a consistznt player, and one of our main stays of stick work. He is a pitcher of no mean ability. Zieg is lost by graduation. a SHAFERelVlaCk is the right field gardener, and a good one. This is Macks first year on the Varsity, although he has been a baseball player for years. He let his girls occupy too- much of his time and could not come out for practice. He is one of our valuable players, being a fast man on the bases, and a heady player. VVASHBURN-l'le is a gardner, also a pitcher. Has been both a player and a fan all of his life and does not care Who knows it. His time is divided bitween the athletic held and Lembke Hall. Nevertheless VVashburn is a consistent, heady player who well deserves the-berth he occupies on Our Varsity. ADAMSeLaSt but notileast is Adams, who is utility player.

In every school, club, or organization, there are always a few men who stand out head and shoulders above the others, and who are looked up to as leaders. And upon these leaders falls a tremendous amount of workework that they must do alone while we sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labors... Especially is this true of the work clone in the line of athletics. The Athletic Director, Sidney X'Vinters. and the Athletic Committee of the Student Council. consisting of Simon 1:3;115011, W. C. Powell, and Harry Edgington, should be commended for the work they have done for athletics during the past year. No individuals, nor group of persons worked harder than did these men. Therefore, Ye Editor, knowing that the students do appreciate the work done by these men, and knowing further that they tiesire to express their appreciation, he takes this opportunity to publicly acknowledge the debt we owe to them for what they have done. and to show them that we respect and honor them for their efforts to raise the standard of athletics in our institution. Of this committee, Simon Benson will be the only member to return to school this year and we earnestly hope that we can obtain the services of so valuable a man. but: to Harry Edgington and W. C. Powell, who will not return to school next year, the student body of the V.

Why have more athletics for the fair co-eds of the brown and gold. This year has been a banner year for Varsity athleticsebut stop. I am getting ahead of my story. In the bygone days our grandmothers did nothing but learn how to cook, to sew, and to Clean a house. It would have been a scandalous thing for a girl to want to play tennis, to appear on the golf links, or to express a desire to want to play a more strenuous game than croquette. For a girl at that time to want to indulge in a game of basket ball, indoor baseball, or to be in any way athletically inclined served to set her apart from the other girls as one with whom any association was the last thing to be desired. Her sphere was the home and it was not expected that she should ever leave it to partake in any branch of athletics. Rut times have changed from the days of our mothers and grandmothers. It is a common thing to see a girl on the basket ball court, golf links, tennis courts, to see them sporting in the surf, on the indoor baseball diamond, and even on the cinder path. And it must be so of necessity. At our present rate of living one must keep in the best of health in order to live with that fullness of life for which we are all, or at least ought to be, striving. Look at the women of today. We find them in all stations of lifefin the munition factories we find them taking the places of the men who have gone to fight, we might hnd them in the helds planting, cultivating, and harvesting the crops, we have them as red cross nurses, ambulance drivers, postmen, street car conductors. and in Russiaethank Godir taking their places in the trenches and Fighting along side of the men. Who would be so much of a tool as to say that our grandmothers could step into the breaches left by the men who have gone to light and flll them as they are being filled by the women of today? That idea of the women being the weaker sex is one of those false illusions to which we blindly cling. not knowing why. The athletic girl is here, and here to stay. regardless of what we say or think about the mattzr. Knowing this full well it behooves us to get busy next year and arrange some sort of athletics for our co-eds just as we now do for Our Varsity. Let them have a Varsity basket ball team and schedule games for them as we do for Varsity basket ball team now. Give them indoor baseball and form a league between halls or departments. They pay an athletic fee and are entitled to as much consideration as any male student. No, the games do not need be public, although any one who has ever played basket ball or any other sport knows that they can play with more pep with a crowd of spectators to cheer and encourage them than they can otherwise. A little more progress, it is true, was made this year than last. Last year the girls, athletics consisted of one basket ball team. With the hard work of the few members of last year who returned to school this year, a league of three teams was formed, the Altruria, Lembke, and Y. W. C. A. teams. Many were the handicaps under which the girls labored, such as obtaining the consent of the Student Council for the use of the Gym, the arranging of hours, the derision 1918 EBB RBEDFU 193 by some of the more narrow minded students, and the failure to agree upon a hxed standard of rules. Most Of the girls wanted to play using the same rules as the boys. others wanted to use girlsy rules only, while some wanted a modifi- cation of eithir the girlst 0r boyst rules. As the end of the fall term drew to a close, the girls wanted to play before a crowd. This was granted with the stipu- lation. however, that only women spectators should be present. Things looked rosy for the girls until they went out to practice on the first night of the winter term. Upon arriving at the Gym they found that the boys were forming a military training organization. They were unable to secure another night for their practice, and their interest began to wane. It cannot be said that girlst basket ball was a failure. What was lacking was co-operation on the part of the Student Council, and even the Council, under the circumstances, cannot be blamed ALTRURIA BASKET BALL TEAM.

In the short time that the teams played. it was evident that the team from Altruria was the best of the three teams. They had the advantage of having for their coach Lawrence Elliott, who was able to teach many of the points of the game. Verna Otey was the coach of the Lembke team, and under her tutorship they developed into a strong combination. The Y. W'. C. A. team were fortunate in securing the services of Virginia Mora as their coach. Miss Mora spent her time in working out the technical points of the game and the team was rounding intoa winning team when the season ended so abruptly. Next year it is hoped that the co-ecls will continue the progress made by the girls this year, and that the powers that be can see their way clear to permit games to be scheduled with Other collzge teams. Two of the girls, Miss Merwin and Miss Edwards represented the University on the Tennis tVarsityl Team. This was quite a leap for the girls to make.

After looking for some time for a suitable title for the following article, we decided to take the worst one and proceed. We want every one to read this article so we have made the title as misleading as possible. We hope that you will pardon this camouHage on our part. Of course we could have entitled it ttLes Petits Ruesseaux font les Grandes Rivieresfy W7otiloir, Clest Pouvoirfl IIAgendaf or some other high sounding name, but we were afraid that you would not read it. It is not our wish to keep you in suspense any longer, so will turn our thoughts into other channels. As I was seated in my private office in the Senate Building in Washington, D. C., a beautiful spring morning in 1935eApril sixth to be exactemy secretary brought a letter to me postmarked Valparaiso, Indiana. My first thought was that there was to be a reunion of the class of 1921 of which I was a member; my next that a cyclone had torn off a part of the roof of the auditorium. Anxiously I opened the letter. It ran thus: To celebrate the completion of our new $250,000 gymnasium, the University will hold a mammoth reunion of all past Varsity men in every branch of athletics, and of all those who have aided in the advancement of athletics while they tarried under the Brown and Gold. The reunion will be held in the University Gymnasium on the night of the basket ball game between Valparaiso University, representing the West, and Yale Uni- versity, representing the East, to decide the College Championship of the United States It is desired to make the week beginning April eleventh a week of fes- tival. Ample accommodations have been made for every one and it is hoped that you can arrange to stay the full week. Kindly let us know if you are able to come and how many will be in your party. Hoping that we shall have the pleasure of your attendance, and looking forward to the renewing of our old friendship, I remain, Respectfully yours, Henry Kinsey Brown. I read and reread the letter hardly believing my eyes. To think that I would have an opportunity to meet so many of my old friends was almost past belief. The part of the letter regarding the number of my party struck me as being very funny. How in the clickens did they know that I was married? It took me about ten seconds to telegraph my acceptance, and about ten seconds more to call my wife on the telephone, read her the letter, and tell her to get herself and the kids ready to go to old Valpo. Since she also was a Valpo graduate it was hard to say which one of us was the more pleased. Well, to make a long story short we packed our grips and took a trip to the home of the Brown and Gold, arriving there on the night of April tenth. The day after our arrival we spent our time in inspecting the new Gym. It was an imposing edihce built in Gothic style. The building itself covered an area of a half a block, and adjoining it was the athletic field. As we entered the building we were met by Dean Yeoman, former dean of the engineering depart- ment; Elias Klein, who now holds the Chair of Physics at Johns Hopkins Uni- versity; Drj Sidney Winters, who has an international reputation as a surgeon, Henry Kinsey Brown, now president of the University, Professor F. J. Marston, Dean of the Expression Department and a host of others too numerous to men- tion. Led by Henry Kinsey Brown we made a tour of the building from top to bottom. He explained that there was compulsory athletic education now included in the curriculum of the university. At night came the big game to be followed by a banquet to the football and basket ball teams. Before the game the names of the various players on every Varsity team since the beginning of the basket ball-e-in lglkwas called and I918 QCIJB 338mm I99 the players asked to step out upon the floor. Many responded, among whom were llRedll Ryan, 3issell, Blair tCaptain'l, Bookwalter, Gates, and Loring of the Team of 1916. Dalrymple tCaptainL Latanzi, Elliott, Fair, Schwartz, and Folb of the 1917 team. There were many others whom I did not know. It was a grand sight to see these old players on a basket ball court once more. Several of the players took their chilclren with them when they left their seats to go onto the Floor. I remember especially Bissell and Latanzi who had one of their off- spring on either arm. Well, The Game commenced. It was hard to tell who made the most noise, the students or the Alumni. It was a hard fought battle from start to finish and time and again it looked as if the Brown and Gold would go down to defeat before the Champions of the East. But our team always had the necessary punch and the game ended with a score of 1918 with Our Varsity on the long end. After the game came the banquet. And such a banquet as it was. There was a call for a speech from almost every one. And every one responded, praising the Student Council, the Athletic Committee, the Athletic Director, and the students for succeeding in the erection of such a splendid athletic palace. After the banquet came a dance in which the combined orchestras of Cottrell and Pl:tte furnished the music. gammy Emmy 2113251111 This year for the first time in our athletic history we had a tennis team. Due to the efforts of the Athletic Director and Jack Novy, our wield:rs of the racket were rounded up and a tournament arranged with a picked team from down town. It was hoped that the tournament could be staged outside, but owing to the inclement weather, it was held in the Gym. The tournament con- sisted of three doubles, two for the men and one for the co-eds. Novy and Watson formed one team, Gruner and Wang another, while the co-eds were represented by the Misses Edwards and Merwin. With only a short time in which to practice, no time could be spent in trying out new play rs. It was necessary to rely on the players who had shown themselves capable last year. However. in order to give every one an equal chance a preliminary tournament was held which was open to all comers. The winners of the preliminary tournament were Wang, Gruner, Watson, Novy, and Kim. There was no need of a preliminary meet for the girls, as Miss Merwin was the only girl there, outside of Miss Edwards, who was ready to play. There are no girls on the Hill, and few fellows, who are capable of defeating Miss Edwards, who is one of the best players on our courts. 3efore a mere handful of spectators the games were played. Sad to relate. the crowd assembled there saw Our Varsity go down to defeat before the smashes, lobs, and lauforts of the down town. That we were defeated is of small consequence. The thing of importance is that a start has been made in this sport and the way opened for to have a Varsity tennis team next year. and in years to come that will add to the already large, and rapidly growing fame of Valparaiso University. zoo arm 33mm 1918 31 male Finale it is, and we are thankful, perhaps more thankful than you readers who are expected to read that which we have offered to you concerning the years work along athletics. We have tried to follow the old Roman custom of praising our Victories and passing lightly over our defeats. For this we hope that you will pardon us. If we have said something that you like we earnestly hope that you will remember it; if it is something that you would have liked better unsaid, please forget it. We do not claim to be infallible. hit whether you remember anything in this book or not, we want you to always remember your Alma Mater and that after you are gone we will continue to work in the interest of athletics for the Brown and Gold. If at any time you can offer assistance, do not hesitate to do so. The next step to be taken is universal compulsory athletic education. A sound mind and a sound body go hand in hand. It is becoming more evident every day that it is the man with the endur- ance who wins out in this game of life in which we are all players, and it is usually the man who has been in some branch of athletics while at college who is the winner.

This was brought about by Captain Newson of the city organ- izing the business men of the town into a Home Guard, for mi1itary training. The students met in the University Gymnasium one evening and elected the following officers, to train them: H. F. Black, Major; Jas. Cairns, Captain; Chas. Moberly, Captain; F. A. Smith, First Lieut; E. E. Lester. First Lieut; Henry Emmons, Second Lieut; L. C. Holland, Second Lieut. Later Captain Cairns was called to the colors of Uncle Sam, at about the same time we lost one of our First Lieutenants, E. E. Lester, being called to reportat Ft. Benjamin Harrison, near Indianapolis; to 1911 these vacancies F. A. Smith was promoted to the rank of Captain, and L. C. Holland was promoted to the rank of First Lieut. and H. T. Fisher was appointed Second Lieutenant. These men were chosen according to their experience and training of pre- vious years. Major Black served in the National Guard during the Spanish- American War and received his training at Terre Haute, Indiana. Captain Moberly served four years in the United States Marine Corps. He was in the service at the time of the Cruise around the world and went on this tour in the Navy. Captain Cairns served three years in the National Guard of Penn- sylvania, in 1912 he won a marksnianis medal as a reward in the National RiHe Contest. Captain Smith served nine years in the National Guard of Utah, took part in three National RiHe Contests, winning three different nieda1s in these contests as a marksman. He served on the Mexican border for five months during our process of W'Vatchful Waiting? Lieut. Emmons had four years of training in a military preparatory school. Lieut. Holland served three years in the U, S. Navy, being stationed on Admiral Fletcheris ship which was the FIagship of the Pacihc Fleet at that time, he was in the Battle of Vera Cruz. Mexico, April 22, 1914. Lieut. Lester received his training in the officers training school at Ft. Harrison. Our University has signihed its desire to become a recognized n1i1itary in- stitution, both through the rxpression of its Head and by thesaction of' its students. A prescribed application has been forwarded through the office to the War Department, requesting that an army officer be detailed to the Uni- versity as commandant of cadets, and that we have issued to us, riHes, and other equipment indispensable to a cadet battalion. Favorable action by the War De- partment will mean the addition of the science of military tactics to ,our cur- ricu1un1, the establishment of a reserve ofhcersi training school, and the raising of this schooI to the same status as other higher institutions of learning in which military science is taught and which are accorded Government recognition. Regardless, however, of the action taken by the War Department, the volun- tary unit as organized by the students will continue its good work. The Drill hours decided upon were Monday evenings, for one of the companies, and Saturday mornings, for the other. Since that time drill has been held regularly. Attendance has held up exceptionally well, and taking into consideration the time I918 ?Ebe Ream ' 207 devoted to the work, splendid progress has been made. Another great asset to the work is the fact that credit is given, one-third of a unit to be allowed for one term of drill. This is a cause, which at this time, merits the full support of every teacher and student in the institution. It is now the solemn duty of every able-bodied young American of military age to learn as much of military science and tactics as possible, in order that he may sooner strike his blow for world democracy and freedom. Although a man is not a finished soldier upon completing his three months of drill, he is efhcient enough that, upon his arrival in the training camp he stands head and shoulders above his fellow recruits. Fellow students, this is one way of proving your allegiance to your Country and your loyalty to the cause. Let us get behind the movement, and give to it the unreserved support which it deserves. 208 Eb: 332mm 1918 $tuhmt Qtuunttl Remark gataff , ZIEG LARREVV LUD QUI ST gatuhent 013mb $taff LARREW POINTER NAYLOR 1918 05m 332mm WHEN THE WAR IS GOING TO END Absolute knowledge I have none, But my auntis washerwomank son Heard a policeman 0n the beat Say to a laborer. on the street That he had a letter just last week, Written in the finest Greek, From a Chinese coolie in Timbucktoo, Who said the niggers in Cuba knew Of a colored man in a Texas town, Who got it straight from a circus clown That a man in the Klondike heard this news From a gang of South American Jews About somebody in Borneo Who heard a man Who claimed to know Of a swell society diame U10 Fakeh Whose motherein-law Will undertake To prove that her seventh husband7s niece Has stated in a printed piece That she had a son Who had a friend Who knows When the war is going to end.
