VVhen, in 1899, he assumed the presidency, the College was at the lowest ebb of her existence. He left her at the highest tide. The change . was brought about by his effective leader- ship. Dr. Kaneis largeness of vision and his thorough sym- pathy with the small college idea enabled him to see the bearing and influence of changes on the spirit of the times, and the necessity of changes in the College to meet these. He had ideas, he believed in them, and he was courageous in carrying them ont. The secret of his snc- cess lay in the fact that he stood like a rock on the broad principles underlying the development of character from which he looked into the future with prophetic vision. To his efforts, as much as to anything else, we must ascribe the growth of the famous VVabash spirit. Earnest and sin- cere, his strong personality carried great weight, and his sympathy and experience made him a true friend and a wise counsellor. Severe indeed was the loss that Vtfabash suff feredt when he passed into that still country where hail stones and fire-showers do not reach, and the heaviest laden Wayfarer at length lays down his loadf, 16 I 17 Professor Henry Zwingli McLain v , N JANUARY, 1907, the College suitered another great loss in the death of Pro- fessor Henry Zwingli McLain. Teacher of Greek at VVabash for over thirty years, there was probably no one more familiar with the history of the College or better acquainted with the students during that time. Great'teachers arc as rare as great preachers, and both, like poets, must be born, not made. Professor McLain, in a quiet, unobtrusive, quaint way that was all his own. was a great teacher, and he also had that finest attribute of a great preacher, the pastoral instinct. Generations of stu- fll 'AX ,vfkr 'D WY, 'ish .f5g:ijrAAi1:yfj dents learned to love the little man, modest in his attain- ments, with a kindly sense of humor and a dignity and force that won and held respect. It would be difficult to name any man more deeply cul- tivated in Greek literature than Professor McLain. 1-Iis whole life was devoted to its study, and he brought to his work an enthusiasm and love that never failed. Sincere, sympathetic, earnest, Professor McLain furnished to all who came in contact with him an example of a pure, noble and unsellish life. His memory will be ever dear to the hun- dreds of men who came under his,inHuence. 18 19 3 7 John Joseph Burnham, 10 Wliereas, It has pleased Almighty God in His infinite wisdom and goodness to remove from the activities of his life our beloved classmate, John Joseph Burnham, and, Wliereas, He has been an enthusiastic member of the class of 1910, and a loyal son of the College, therefore, be it Resolved, That the copies of these resolutions of our sympathy and expression of our grief be sent to the be- reaved members of his family, and, be it further Resolved, That these resolutions be published in the publications of the College, and recorded in the minutes of the Class of 1910.

A rt Z2 23 'ULVIDN ENDELLI IVIICPHFIRSON was sitting upon the porlico of the house where he roomed. N' It was evening and the town of San Luis, L9 ' 5 A3 that had lain slumbering throughout the terrific heat of the day, was beginning to awake in response to the cooling touch of twilight. Along the dusty roadway be- fore him there were hurrying many brightly dressed couples on their way to the plaza, the lights of which he could see as he looked down the street. Many of those that passed were Spanish, a great many more were Mexican, and occa- sionally a solitary, blanketed Indian shuffled by. But not a white person did he see. The settled Americans lived in another part of the town. .lfle pulled slowly, meditatively at his pipe as he leaned with his arms upon his knees, and watched the moving throng out upon the plaza. There came to him indistinctly the hum of its voice, while at inter- vals the sound of a clear, musical Spanish laugh would rise above the murmur. He got up and walked to and fro along the portlco. At last he decided he would go down and mail the letter he had in his pocket, and possibly stop at one or two of the stores to chat a bit. Then he came to the con- clusion that he wouldn't, and sat down again. just then there- turned into the street from the Plaza a tall figure, which walked rapidly. As it came nearer Weliclell recog- ' Forgetting nized it to be Carthers, one ofthe civil engineers with whom he worked. Isle soon came up. Hello, lX'IcPherson. Why in the devil did you skip out for home so early? I had a letter to write, as he rose to greet his visitor. Obi youlve always got a letter to write. But that's not what I came to see you about. There is going to be a hell of a big 'blow out' over at Senor Ilugo's to-night. Big dance-fine music-eats and wine galore-and any number of pretty senoritas. Hugo told me to-day he was going to make it the biggest f1ll1Cl0lZ Of the summer. Now, you'd better come and crawl out of your shellfor once and go along with me. What? You don't care for this sort of a thing? Damn it all, McPherson, you don't know what it is till you've tried it. You'll go looney if you don't get out of yourself pretty soon. WOll,t you come P Mc.l.'herson knocked out his pipe on a post before he replied. No, Carthers. You've asked me lots of times, and I appreciate your interest in my welfare-but-I can't go! Oh, hell! I suppose some one back home has you tied. Eh F Perhaps, quite softly. Same old answer. But I must go,l' as he started off. He walked some steps, tlien stopped. 24 f'McP.herson, Iuliana's going to be there,'l and Carthers laughed as he went away. XVendell sat down, refilled his pipe, lit it, and imme- diately fell to thinking. Wfas not Carthers right when he said that he would go crazy if he did not get away from himself soon? A year and two months had passed since he and that other one had plighted their faith and trust and love away back at an Indiana college. All this time he had been working out here in New Mexico for a railroad that was slowly pushing its way across the mountains and the Rio Grande plateau. l-le had seen her but twice during the fourteen months, then only for a day each time. VVas he changing? Were not some of his ideals and ambitions, with which he had left college, a little bit tarnished? Did he feel just the same as he had then toward life and toward the girl who had told him he was her all? For a year and two months now he had been living among these Spaniards, In- dians, Mexicans and whites, with their loose, gay, happy life, without once yielding to any sort of a temptation. I-Ie had daily associated with his brother engineers, men of low characters and vicious habits, without, so far as any out- ward sign was concerned, tainting himself the least bit. But the restraint, the constant guard of himself, was beginning to tell upon his mentality. l-Ie was a man inherently weak and emotional. Every moral victory meant a fierce battle with him. Even now there came an impulse to get away and out from himself, and join for but one brief hour the gaiety of the plaza, an impulse to mingle and lose himself in the warmth and the color'of the life around him. The call of the country and its life came to him strongly just then. 25 lt was almost dark now. He could hear through the cool, still air the sound of guitarros, the accompanying music of the ll'tllIStl. The crowd on the plaza was becoming less dense. Senor 1-l.ugo's would be popular that night. VVhy not go, he thought, just this once? Then, as if the devil himself had planned it, there came through the door and out onto the portico an already too fa- miliar figure-that of Juliana, the daughter of his Spanish landlord. lleautiful in the extreme she was, as she stood poised upon one foot, awaiting some sign from him, that she might know of her welcome. lndeed, Juliana was known through- out the entire Rio Grande valley as the most beautiful senorita of them all. And it was this marvelous beauty of body and face that had been her fortune, also her ruin, for she had none too good a reputation among the righteous element of the town. Many noted men of wealth, of both Spanish and American blood, had come to worship her and do her homage. But she l1ad been the same Juliana to them all. She knew that it was her face and body they wor- shiped, and she acted accordingly. fljaradoxical as it might seem, she had been passionately sensuous with her body, but this had been accompanied with a coldness of heart and soul that only McPherson's coming had managed to soften. The change had been wrought all unconsciously by him. He had awakened within her that which she had never felt before-love. The true womanhood in her was being born. She had left all other men alone, and now was loving him with all the hot passion of her Spanish nature. Her past was by herself forgotten, and she lived in the present, that she might win some little favor from the savior' who was always so cold and distant. He cou'ld not be blamed for holding aloof from her. lxlad he not heard many, many things? She stood in a beautiful posture of hesitation, till, seeing he did not move or speak, she began timidly: Senor? lle was silent, and puffed slowly at his pipe. She moved a very little nearer. Senor? Again her soft, low voice came to him from out the darkness. This time he replied as coolly as he could: XfVhat is it? V l have a great favor to ask of the senorf' She waited a moment, then went on, There is a great fzmciou at Senor lelugo's to-night. l have no one for my C01Ilf7tllIl'tI. Will you not come, Senor? He quickly tried to think back to a certain day in June, when he and the other one had sat upon the edge of a little lake and told each other of their love. l.lut the memory would not come distinct and clear. l'erhaps he did not want it to come very badly. ln the darkness he could feel Juli- ana's presence rather than see her. To him came once more the sound of kQ'Itl'fCl'l'7'0.Y, and a clear tenor voice raised in a Spanish love-song, throbbing with emotion. He pictured to himself the gleam of the lanterns that were hung in the lnmrto where the festival was being held. He could feel the pulsation of the dance, a waltz. Just then the girl, with an impulsive movement, one full of warmth and meaning, r 1 stepped to the man's side, and throwing her soft, bare arms around his neck, repeated her question: Senor, will you come? I-Ie shoved her gently from him, and got up. Yes, Senorita. l'll go. VVait but a moment for me. And he went to his room. When he returned he was wearing for the first time the broad, brightly colored sash of the Spaniard, and a som-- brero, with a band to match it. They passed down the street-he numbly wondering what he was doing, and she garrulous and gay in a victory won. Wihen VVendell McPherson crept into his bed that night shortly after the clock in the hallway had struck one, he vaguely wondered if he were himself or someone else. lt seemed impossible that life should take on a different aspect so suddenly. He lay awake for a long time, thinking over the evening that had just passed. He closed his eyes and again he seemed to be drifting about l-Iugo's lzucrto, the throbbing music in his ears, and the living, breathing vision of love in his arms. l'le thrilled as he in fancy again stood in the court-yard without, bidding good-night to Juliana. When he at last fell asleep it was to dream alternately of the sad, appealing face of the one back home and the beauti- ful, laughing one of Juliana. That night marked the beginning of a new life for him. His hitherto serious and solemn existence was suddenly transformed into one of laughter, pleasure and never-to-be- forgotten evenings spent with Juliana. The days passed swiftly, for his mind and 'heart were care free. The work 26 at the office and field became lighter and more enjoyable. Margaret was not entirely forgotten, but he thought of her as very distant, as one that had been a part of his old life. His letters to her almost ceased, but hers came with a pa- thetic regularity, till they stopped abruptly. He did not worry about it, and considered their affair at an end. But one day there came in his mail at the office a letter bearing the familiar post-mark. lt was from Margaret's mother. It told him of the serious fever that had come to the girl. It told him of the words she had said while in her delirium. lt begged him to return, if he loved her at all. McPherson was strongly moved by the appeal, and de- cided to go, tell them the truth, and return. He did not have the courage to write. That evening he got a leave of ab- sence from the f'boss, went to his room and packed a suit- case. As he worked, his mind traveled back to the Indiana town, and he lived once more his college days. The spell of Juliana and the Spanish life to which she belonged, left him for the moment, and he began to look forward with eagerness to his meeting with Margaret. As the stage did not leave for two hours he became rest- less and decided to go for a walk. The night was perfect. A full moon shone and threw the queer,'mud-plastered houses into all sorts of fantastic shapes by reason of light and shadow. Ahead of him rose the black bulk of the Pueblo range of mountains, thirty miles away. In a few minutes he came to the bridge that spanned the little stream south of town. He came quite close before he noticed the motionless figure of a girl seated upon one of the benches, her head and arms resting upon the low guard-rail. I-Ie 27 recognized it as Juliana. All thoughts of the other one strangely left him. He sat down beside her and put his arm around her shoulders. VVhat's the matter, Juliana P She turned and looked at him with a face from which all the laughter had vanished. Tears were in her eyes. They say you are going away. Senor. VVho said so? Carthers told me. VVendell was silent for a long time. He watched the glint of the moon on the stream, which flowed between great black masses of willow brush. VVell? ls it so, Senor PU Yes-to-morrow. Must you go? VVhy must you go P Because-well, you see-because- VVhy P I-I don't know. Then Senor does not have to go-Senor will stay. Will he not P VVhy, Juliana, who would care if 1 did go? and he tried to speak lightly. A soft, warm arm was slipped around his neck and a smooth cheek caressed his own. - Guess who, Senor? Wliicll was her Spanish way of answering his question. He thrilled as she said it. Her hair was touching his te-mple and forehead. Indiana seemed very, very far away as he took her in his arms and held her close. Mio Carina, she whispered. It is hardly needful to say that McPherson unpacked his suit-case that night. And two weeks later the good Padre made them man and wife. The magnificence of the funcioii that followed had never been equalecl, and has never been surpassed. The weekly Nucz1as devoted a whole page of four columns to a description of McPherson, his bride, and their marriage. Even Rev. Mr. Smith, the only protestant minister in the town, eondescended to con- gratulate Weiiclell, and told him confidentially that he be- lieved that Wende11's love for the girl and his marriage with her had been the only thing that had saved a ruined soul. Carthers and the rest of the engineers had nearly furnished the new home with their gifts. Some days later there sat one day in a library back in Indiana a white-haired lady. who was stroking with a wrinkled hand the head of a girl who sat on the tloor.at her feet. The girl was sobbing pitifnlly, while in one hand she held a damp crumpled letter. HAROLD W. HAWK. QJQ-.9 A 0 Ax xX ,Q-., ..-gx 28 .x 1. 29 .

' ' Y things was the debut of the Class of '09 famous at NVabash. ln the first place the M N 'class ente1'ed the college with Prof. --. That is, at the same time. However, the ' .Professor was from Harvard and of course presented his naturalization pape1's at the front wicket. The Freshmen were from the other half of God's count1'y and were glad to be admitted even at the postern. And here another 1'emarkable thing may well be noted. That the rank and file of the class really had greatness thrust upon them by being impressed at once into the service of the literary world by the new compulsory cou1'se in Eng. Comp. l. ,l--lere many brave ones lost every- thing, pouring out, as it were, in one mighty deluge all their hopes-this for the good of humanity. Concerning the class of '09, as about every lfreshman class, it was said that it was remarkable for its strength and precocity. The noticeable thing about this remark at the time was, that it was true. The class was the first to pass the centenary ma1'k in its enrollment. The scrap of October 5, 1905, owing to the ruling of the high powers that were at that particular time, was a double-headed aliray. Hy valiant deeds and the cleverest of strength the Class of '09 had the Sophs firmly bound ...f...lf4v', me ...i.....t-S 7 with ropes inside of a few minutes. But, since this con- dition was not of particular interest to the upper classmen, it was deemed fit a11d proper that all the 1'0pes be excluded and the light begun over again. llut this change made little difference in the success of the '09ers. Vein, vidi, vici never applied to any of Czesar's campaigns with half the fitness that it did to the onslaught under the old beech tree-'09 was completely victorious. The next act in this Freshman drama occurred on the night of February 21, '06. Space forbids a complete tran- script of the lines here, but we record a few of the ones pre- se1'ved as authentic records by the historical talking ma- chine: XVhere, oh where is my own sweet water wagon g Good-bye, Hi-I'liram, let's have a tl- parade. No, let's not. Hey, there. You're a liar. You're another. tlflere the action of thc drama is very rapid. Stars ap- pear.j Get off that little man, you big slob! Fight some- one your sizef' 'ln justice to the reader we must say here that a few members of the class were later placed on pro- hibition by the faculty, lint let not this divert your at- tention from the fact that '09 won the 22nd scrap. l.est someone may think that this class has been re- markable only for its pugnacious qualities, we wish to state that it claims the honor of abolishing the traditional. annual desecration of VVashingt0n's bi1'thday. Wfith ordinary ,com- 32 mon sense the Class of '09 could see no prospective satis- faction in wallowing under the rules in the mud of the athletic Field. The prevailing opinion in the class was to the effect that because men were undcrclassmen in college they need not reproduce the barbarities of their pre-historic an- cestors. So against a remarkably stubborn protest by the Senior-junior element the Class of 309 abolished the 22nd scrap. ' VVhatever is true of the individual is true of society. And as the junior in college begins to pat his juvenile vagaries and shoulder his responsibilities, so the Class of '09 in its junior year began to assume the dignity of a profound and stable organization. Its members learned the value of quiet contemplation, and sought to withdraw from the vital activities of college albfairs in order to develop a 33 seriousness of thot and mein which should be compatible with their coming seniority. Advancement towards the front of the Chapel lent its powerful influence to whatever still remained of the unchaste. Too much distressing col- lege work, and all other worries, were carefully avoided by its members, and everything made to contribute t-oward a common end, the development of a Senior class worthy of the name. The priority of this publication prevents an account of the '09 commencement, and for this we are sincerely sorry. This zenith in the history of '09 will be a fair page in the chronicles of Wabasli. But of all this beauty and grand display we can speak only prophetically. Therefore we shall say nothing-'09 will be there. , ' X! 1X Qs, 4- -. Aki. ,-f' ' -' M ' . 17 .F , fnik' The Class of 1909 L.

In the purple haze of our youthful days We dwelt in this Paradise, And the way lay sweet before our feet To the mountains of high empriseg And we come once more just to live them o'er, Those days of our golden dreams, just to gain fresh strength for the long road's length VVhere proudly the Scarlet gleams.

There were some eighty of us, gradu- ates from nearly as many high schools in Indiana, lllinois and Ohio, enthusiastic, ambitious and bound by but one de- sire-to be true Wabash men. l-low this desire has Hour- ished, lapsed, and in a measure, at last succeeded, is seen, we hope, in the publication of this Ouiatenon, dedicated to the faculty, students and alumni of the College. Nearly three college years have passed since then, and quickly. for time has never passed slowly with us. From the first appearance of Dan'l VVcbster Ziegner, our Freshman president, as orator and politician, times have gone quickly. often fiercely, for the Class of, '10. For we stood as eighty units, to paraphrase a famous remark of Kelly, '07, and the welding of these into a body worthy the name of a class -.. ,-- ALAL: has been a task to make the departed, more harmonious classes turn in their graves and the spirit of Old XVabash to groan in despair. During this year occurred an event of momentous con- sequence-the death of the Twenty-second Scrap. How it ever happened we confess we cannot tell, except that the class of '09 bearing gifts in the shape of a 'lfwenty-second banquet to our- beniglited selves were not sufficiently feared, and the ambitions of our politicians brought about an ac- ceptance of the invitation in place of a noble challenge to deeds of valor long to be remembered, as many of us, who regret it now, will tell to this day. lt is true the banquet was never given, but the glorious old hero, the 'l'wenty-sec- ond Scrap, inagony and despair had died of broken heart. lele can never be revived, at least until some more potent charm than any now known be used, and the twenty-second of February passes as quietly as the twenty-first. During our Sophomore year the class was lead by Hill Irwin, of fame, first. last and always base- ball pitcher and shark in the sordid practice of pulling A's from reluctant professors. as well as in many other things, 50 who was assiduous in seeking experience and who, having gained it, has passed from us and now walks with the elders, the Class of Naughty-nine. As Juniors we modestly point with pride to records made by individuals of the class in science, economies and languagcg to its meuxhers in the Cilee Club and College Quar- tette: to our few, but excellent athletesg especially to our ,liditor-in-Chief, who is there in every college activity. As a class we have this year listened to the inspira- tion of the Spirit of Old VVabash and now under the presi- dency of Kitty Wlildman are determined to stand as a class. We hope we may succeed. and as our first worthy effort wc present this Ouiatenon to our professors, fellow students, alumni and friends of Old Wahasli. The Class of '10 l.. l...

But a class in college that is two years old has lived half of its life. Naturally, and rightly so, one would suppose that a great many things took place in that twenty-four months, but it is obvious that in a short his- tory, such as this of necessity must be, only the most im- portant things can .bc mentioned, while the thousand and one equally interesting, and to some individuals, equally im- portant things, must be omitted. The class of 1911 as Freshmen was the largest first- year class ever enrolled in VVabash, having, before the year closed, one hundred and forty-two men on its list. Probably the most intensely engrossing period of a lireshmen class' existence is the first two weeks of the fall term. Being so numerous, they vanquished the class of 1910 in the annual color rush. Then a great calm ensued, which lasted till the end of the year. Not a blow was struck on the twenty-second of February. They had a goodly num- ber of honor-scholarship men, and fully their share of rep- resentatives on the different athletic teams,,among their number being a few men who rightly bore the designation of stars, ln all branches of college activities there were some 1911 men to be found, and the class as a whole was not remarkably slow in learning the ropes. Of course there was the customary greenness, but the verdure soon became less noticeable and obnoxious. VVhen college opened in the fall of 1908 the class nmn- bers were reduced considerably, sixty-one men failing to appear. lt must be said with sorrow that one of their num- ber was drowned during the previous vacation. Again the annual color-rush was fought, and again the bird of victo1'y sat upon the standards of the class of 1911, although the incoming Freshmen outnumbered them great- ly. After the exchange of hostilities, which assumed vari- ous and diverse forms, centering around the stand-pipe, the numerals remaining upon that tube of steel when it was torn down were those of '11. During its Sophomore year the class has been well rep- resented in all organizations which claim the interest of the 62 college as a whole. Its men have appeared on all the ath- letic teams, and it can be said that it has more than its share of managers and captains for next year. The class basketf ball championship came to it through the hard work and skillful playing of its class team. VVhen one is writing the record of one's own class, one is inclined to exaggerate and over-emphasizes its importance and worth, yet it seems that it can be safely said that the class of 1911 is a well- balanced one, one that can claim as its own, men of ability and strength. An empty wagon makes much more noise than a loaded one. Think about it. . H. W. HAWK .............. ............ . . ..Prcsid'ent M. E. Coc11R.xN. . . Lyle Alison. Mark .Barber Jones.

M--e' SOUTH HALL -X History of the Class of '12 OVVARD the end of 1908's summer young 1 I fellows with big, inquiring, boyish eyes, , some with a little down on their smooth , ,jim .591 faces, began to arrive in this little city, the home of Wfabash. As the opening 2 l of the fall term drew near, more began to come, and oftener. Finally, when the lists were footed up, one hundred and three Freshmen ended the column of knowledge-seekers. Then a deep, dark war-cloud appeared above the horizon-hostilities began. On a certain balmy evening lights were seen in the room in Center Hall below the Chapel, and great enthusiasm seemed to enwrap everyone. Yells-yells of every class, nine for '12 drowning all. On that evening Robert Kingery, of Crawfordsville, was chosen leader of the classg George Long, of Rensselaer, utility leader, as pen-pusher, Herbert Eastlack, of Crawfordsville, and as miser, Richard Bosson, of Indianapolis. That magic word peerade was sounded, and peerades and noise filled the remainder of the evening. Spirit ran high, but soon demonstrations ceased and the streets lay silent. But for a short time only. Each night till far along in the small hours citizens about the stand- pipe reported many nefarious crimes. Each morning a dif- ferent number was to be seen one hundred and seventy feet in the air. One day it was '11, the next it was '12. Finally, after several preliminary scraps, duckings and foot races, the two classes met in battle array, and alas! after putting all their strength into the fight, old '12 lost to the new forma- tion and the aggressiveness of '11, Nuff sed! Late in the autumn, after the leaves had fallen and the chill November winds were making bleak and bare the old campus, the two classes met again. ,Iileven men took the responsibility of each class. Then did the royal purple and old gold atone in part for the disaster at the beech tree by winning the football game. But alas Qagainj ! Not for long was the Freshman ban- ner to wave on high. It was midwinter, icy winds were blowing hard, snow covered the ground, and again the two rival classes met. Five representatives of each class met three times. After giving them a good sound drubbing once, '12 was twice defeated by '11, each time by one point. Gnce more tough-a da luck and nuff sed. But the Freshman class has not only been prominent in mere class rivalries. Each proposition and every under- taking of the college as a whole has been backed by '12 en- tire. There have been no hangers-on, no ragged edges of half-enthusiasts. Every man of the Freshman class is full of enthusiasm for Vllabash and for '12, and is a unit in the whole. Though many have been lost already, and a few new ones have joined, the class spirit is as high as on that first night. May it always be so. 68 The Class of '12 ROBERT ICINGERY . . . .......

They may dif- TXNM- 'gtliff fer on many subjects and yet agree on zfxf' I f: 5 Q the main proposition. But they must give '.iWi4 'l:'ii' ' the same answer to this question, Shall the small college continue to be small? If not, the problem disappears, for as the college is no longer to continue small, we can not discuss it or its troubles from that point of view. On the other hand, if it is to continue to be small, there are some things which we all agree must be done, and others that must not be done. Assuming that the small college has advantages of its own, and that it can do a work that can not be done by the great universities, we shall, of course, oppose any policy the adoption of which will tend to destroy those advantages or impair the quality of the particular work. One of the great benefits which students are supposed to derive from the small college is the close contact with the instructors, the result of which is a more careful and personal training. Now, if this be true, it is very foolish to seek to build up the college to such an extent as to make it impossible for this contact or this close personal training and influence to exist. We can not strive to be big and yet hope to retain all the good that be- longs to smallness. Therefore we are forbidden to go in for 73 mere numbers, and much more are we forbidden to make any concessions in order to get numbers. For the effect of this policy is bad in two ways-that is, assuming that the small college is a desirable thing. In the first place it low- ers the standard of scholarship, and in the second place it operates to make the college large instead of small. Almost of necessity, it seems to me, the small college must be non-coeducational. For by admitting girls-there is never any talk of admitting boys to girls' colleges-you are likely to double your enrollment at one stroke, and thus make your small college a large one immediately. Wabasli, for instance, would probably number six or seven hundred students-in other words, it would not be a small college. The efficiency which is supposed to characterize the work of a small college would disappear. Classes would be twice as large as now, and the professors would be further and fur- ther removed from the student. Recent experience proves that coeducation in our higher institutions of learning is a mistake. The trustees of many of them are either exclud- ing the women or limiting the number that may attend. The increase in the number and efficiency of the women's colleges proves that the women themselves are realizing the advantages of a separate education. It was a fortunate thing that VVabash resisted the attempt to force coeducation on her a few years ago. By that decision she pledged herself to do the most eHectivc work possible in connection with the training of the limited number'of young men that are trusted to her care. ' Proceeding still further on the theory that we are hon- est when we profess to believe that the small college is a necessity, I should say that it can not, if it is to be small, specialize to any considerable extent. By the very nature of the case its functions are differentiated from those of the technical or professional school. It must give a general training, and one of the utmost thoroughness and the high- est character. To allow any wide choice in an institution that has only two or three hundred students is to break up the student body into small cliques or classes, to destroy college spirit, to weaken the sense of solidarity, and to incur a per capita expense that is, or may be, enormous. Some of the elective courses in our great universities are taken by a mere handful of men. A 555,000 professor may be em- ployed to teach three or four students, say in Sanscrit. The case is, of course, worse with the small college. Special courses, particularly in science, demand costly machinery and apparatus, and specialists in each course. It is neces- sary to'spend a great deal of money on these branches. The result is that other branches of a general nature are forced to economize, and often the college gets a good technical department at the cost of cheapcning the literature, lan- guage and history departments. VVhere there are few men it seems better to keep them together as much as possible, and to train them along general lines, leaving the specialized work to be done by larger institutions. It is not meant that science should be dispensed with. To eliminate it would be a great mistake. But it should not be taught as it is taught in scientific or technical schools. The theory should be that men ought to know about it in a general way-that it is something of which a gentleman can not afford to be ignorant. It has been said, and the statement is accepted as the basis for this discussion, that the small college gives the student the benefit of close personal association with mem- bers of the faculty. If that is so-as of course it is-it is important that the instructors should be men with whom the students can profitably associate. They should Hrst of all be gentlemen, men of fine manners and gentle breeding. We do not always make enough of this. A man does not need to be a boor in order to be a scholar. Rather, true scholarship ought to refine and soften and elevate men. Scholarship, of course, we must have, and teaching power. But we are assuming that some benefit is to be got out of this close contact with the instructors. There can be little benefit unless the instructors are men of fine personality. The small college ought to be under the control of scholarly gentlemen in order that the young men may be properly infiuenced during the impressionable period of their life. Finally, the small college must never undertake any- thing that it can not do honestly and well. A recent writer has said that the next thing to be attacked by the muck- raker will be the college. A college officer has admitted that the field will not prove a barren one. I-Ie said that colleges, many of them, pretended to give instruction in subjects which they were .not qualified to handle, that courses were advertised in catalogues which were known 74 to be mere pretenses. There is a good deal of this in the smaller colleges. They try to keep pace with rich and powerful institutions, enter into a foolish and hopeless rivalry, and bid for students by making promises which it is known can not he fulfilled. This is not honest. And as the small college is supposed to rely largely on its honesty, on its assurance that it will not attempt to do anything that it can not do well, and on its appeal for support on the ground that it is eminently fitted to do what it essays to do, it can not afford to have any bogus courses. It must be what it pretends to be, and not seem to be anything else. In my opinion the problem of the small college, about which there is so much discussion, would be greatly simplified if N! the small college were only content to be true to the law of its own being. The embarrassment grows very largely out of the confiict between the college's actual smallness, and its It seeks to grow, not in the but away from those duties al- one, not of the small college, to swell itself into a big one. great and expanding ambitions. better performance of its duties, together. The problem thus is but of the small college trying Here, as in most cases, consistency of action and devotion to one's ideal will bring order out of the present educational chaos. If we are going to besmall, let us be the best small college in the world. That is the attitude that we should take. LOUIS l-IOWLAND, Yale, '79.

Wa- bash is a school of less than 350 students, trying to cope with Conference schools ll A with average attendances of 3,000. The Big Eight refuses to meet Wlabash miless the Little Giants will conform to their eligibility rule, name- ly, the three-year rule. llut think ol the inconsistency of their attitude when they insist that we shall not have the year of preparation which they took for themselves by bar- ring their Freshmen and still allowing the Seniors to play. lt is certainly much to be regretted that we can not meet Purdue, Illinois and Indiana and others as of old, but the adopting of the rule, with its retroactive clause, would ut- terly demolish VVabash athletics for some time by throw- ing the whole burden of representing the college on the Sophomores and juniors. lt is certainly to be hoped that some amiable adjustment of this matter will be reached and that good old organization, the lndiana Intercollegiate Athletic Association, will again be a potent factor in VVest- ern athletics. 80 ,Q f - .,,'Q,, ,Mm Nmsa. 0 V- ,V 1 2: ', vii' THE SQUAD Wabash in P:-1-,. O 'l'lllC student body of Wabash College the prospects for a successful football sea- son in the fall of '08 looked gloomy in- deed. Many of the old stars were gone- graduated or had left college-the famous Cayou, to whom lX'abash had looked for athletic success in past years. was gone. . QS 'SM 1 1 Ei-1iiAJi ln the initial practices the fates seemed determined to de- stroy the hard-earned prestige of the Scarlet by a series of accidents to the best players. The tirst game of the season, which was played with lfranklin College, was a costly victory, for although Wa- bash held the large end of a 62-O score, Dobbins wrenched his knee so severely that he was unable to play during the remainder of the season. The next game was with Rose I'oly. Although VVa- bash gained three'times as much ground as the lingineers, she could not place kick or block punts, consequently Rose carried back the large end of the 14-ll score. A week later the representatives of the Scarlet met St. Louis University at St. Louis. A magnificent game was played, in which Xllabash, outweighed thirty pounds to the man, and crippled by injuries to several of her stars, kept St. Louis from crossing her goal and was defeated by a sin- gle drop kick. ln this game Gipe, lllargrave and llurns were injured. On the next Saturday, October 31, the Little Giants met the Aggies at Lansing, Michigan. llargrave was outg Gipc and llnrns were only able to play a short time. Score, 6-0 in favor of the Aggies. Foot Ball During the practices preceding the Miami game, Garver was added to the list of the injured. During most of the game the Scarlet outplayed Miami, but in the second half they pulled off a touch-down. Friday, November 13, the Little Giants met Notre Dame on lngalls lfield. ln this game the fact was demon- strated that the fighting spirit of Old XVabash was not dead, for the Catholics were unable to cross the Scarlet's goal line and nosed out a victory by making one more place kick than did Wfabash. Score, 8--l. One week later Wfabash met lJel'auw and defeated her old-time rival by a score of 12-0. llargrave and Gipe were both injured in this game. On the Tuesday before 'lillZlIllCSg'lVlllg' the Little Giants invaded the XVest. At Lincoln, Nebraska, on Tlianksgiving day they met the heavy team of the State University. ,Playing on a muddy gridiron, with luck against them, Wabash was defeated by a score of 27-6.

The season of 'OS made the fourth season on the varsity for Sleep, During this period he has played every position in the line ln- clndlng end and holds a record of having never been removed from a game. He understands the game thoroughly and made a strong leader for the Scarlet. During hls last season he played a remark- able offensive and defensive game at tackle. He is 21 years old, weighs 176 pounds and stands 5 feet, ll. inches. ALBERT BURNS, '09, weight 171 pounds, height 5 feet 11 inches, age 22 years. President of the Athletic Association, '08-09. Bobby ls known in Wabash foot ball circles for the excellent quality of his nerve and smashing ability. During his entire col- lege course he has been a hard, consistent worker and has made good with a vengeance. He has played on the scrubs without grumbling and on the varsity 'showed that he was there. ' PALMER HARGRAVE, '09, height 5 feet 9 inches, weight 148 pounds, age 22 years. Jack served his apprenticeship at the quarter-back position for the flrst two years of his college career and for the last two has run thc team to the best advantage. I-Ie was the unanimous choice for the position of all-State quarter-'back last fall. EDGAR O.. BROWN, '09. Height 5 feet 10 inches, weight 156 pounds. Gov, has studied foot ball every fall for four years and knows the game. As an offensive and defensive center he has more than held his own against the most beefy of his opponents. He ls es- pecially known for the accuracy of his passes and the manner ln which he goes down the fleld under punts. The Indianapolis Star gave him second place on the all-State team. , WALTER GIPE, '09. Weight 163 pounds, height 5 feet 9 inches, age 24 years. .lyper has played rlght tackle for the Little Giants during the four years of his college course. During the season of 1907 he cap- 91 . tained the team. His hard and fierce charging and ability to solve plays-arc among' his best foot ball characteristics. On account of his speed he has been one of the best ground gainers for the Scarlet. Hls brilliant work in breaking through the llue and breaking up plays has been commended by many crl-tics of the game. He was the unanimous choice for all-State tackle in 1908. E. HAPPER PAYNE, '09. Weight 158 pounds, height 6 feet, age 21 years. Pldge let three years of his college career pass without put- ting on the mole-skins but in his fourth year he camel out, made right end and held the position down. He was great on smashing up interference and knew how to receive forward passes. JAMES STIERS, '10. Weight 150 pounds, height 5 feet 9 inches. Hero played a consistent game from the beginning of the season and did some brilliant work at full back. 1-Ie hits the line low and hard and ln the interference he busts the end ln great style. I-Ie will 'be with the Scarlet one more season and assist in making the back field strong. PAUL COLBERT, '11. Weight 150 pounds, height 5 feet S inches, age 21 years. Paulus played at half and it was seldom indeed that he could not Hnd a hole in the opponent's line. He never gave up when carrying the ball, and when it came to helping a team matte through the line he was there. On the defensive he was exceptionally good in backing up the line and in breaking up plays. IRVIN GARVER, '11, Weight 140 pounds, height 5 feet 9 inches, Age 21 years. Doc playcd a heady game at left half-back, either following his interference or leaving lt to pick an opening. When his kncc was injured the kicking force of the Scarlet was materially weak- ened. His dodging ability made him a hard man to tackle. He cn- joyed the unique distinction of being the lightest man on the team. NEWTON BOWMAN, '11. Weight 184 pounds' Height 6 feet 1 inch. Husky made good at guard in his Freshman year and during the last season proved hlmsclt' to be a valuable man in the line by piling up plays directed toward him by opponents and in opening holes. He can spiral the ball over 50 yards which makes him a val- uable man ln open plays involving the forward pass. He was elect- ed captain of the team for 1909. OSCAR BARR, '11, Weight 181 pounds. Height 5 feet 11 inches. Age 22 years. Barr was built for a llne man and showed up well at guard. His hard charging made hlm good at opening holes in the opposing line and his aggresslveness made him take advantage of every opportu- nity. Bad ankles and a 'bad shoulder bothered him considerably dur- ing thc last season. ROGER WILSON, '10. Weight 176 pounds. Height 5 feet 11 inches. Age 22 years. Bubbles is versatile In his foot ball ability being able to play at either center, guard or tackle and play it well. He is known as an especially powerful man on defense, RAY HOPKINS, '12. Weight 173 pounds. Height 5 feet 11 inches. Age 20 years. Probably the most noticeable characteristic with which Sis ls endowed is his grit. During almost the entire season he suifered from injuries, but nevertheless he played his position at guard con- sistently. He plugged up any holes that were opened and was aggres- slve on the offense. This was his tlrst year at Wabash and great things may be expected from him. RALPH MARKLE, '12. Weight 168 pounds. Height 5 feet 10 inches. Age 20 years. The year 1908-09 was Smiley's first at Old Wabash and ln a number of games he showed himself to be there with the foot ball goods. P. J. HAWKINS, '12. 'Weight 135 pounds. Height 5 feet 8 inches. Age 18 years. 1-Iawkle is light but fast and is expected to make a star quar- ter back for the Scarlet, He is a fighter and plays largely on his nerve. BLAINE PATTON, '10. Weight 152 pounds. Height 5 feet 10 inches. Age 22 years. Blondie worked faithfully on the squad all season. He was speedy and in the open field was a sure tackler. AUSTIN HERRON, '11. Weight 142 pounds. Height 5 feet S inches. Age 19 years. Bud' played hard, steady foot ball at quarter. His forward passes are sure and accurate. Ile will undoubtedly be heard from next year. SAM STARBUCK, '11.- Sammy made a great record at full back last year and would undoubtedly have equaled or surpassed lt this year had not an ln- jury to his knee put him out of the game for the remainder of the season. HOMER DOBBINS, '11, Debby was one of those upon whom the Fates wreaked their vengeance. T-le played crack foot ball ln 1907 but was injured so severely in the Franklin game of 1908 that he was not able to play during the remainder of the season. WILLIAM BURNS, '11, Bill played hard foot ball and improved wonderfully ln ag- gressiveness and ability as the season progressed. He gave a good account of hlmselt' and should be heard from next year. I ED MILLER, '12. Big Ed was unable to play in most of the games because of his lack of high school credits. At Miami and St. Louis he proved himself a great power and will be a star for the back Held next year. 92 T v rw 'fm 41,451.6 'I K Alf' fh Basket Ball AIEASH has no apologies to offer for her basket ball team. NVhile they did not win the State championship, like the tCZl.111S of ,05, '06, '07 and '08, they made a creditable showing, and were only de- feated by one team in the State, Notre Dame, and by one outside team, Qhio State. Great credit is due to Coach Ralph jones for devel- oping the team, and especially for his work with the new center, Bowman, who made a wonderful showing this seas D son. Captain VValter's men were always full of pep and were as fast when the whistle blew for the beginning of the second half as they were at the start of the game. The three defeats challced up against the Little Giants were all hotly contested and showed that there was enough glory for both teams. Captain-elect Stump will have a good bunch of ma- terial, consisting of all this year's 'Varsity except Walte1', and most of the scrubs. Stump is a capable leader and should have a team similar to the days of old, if no unfore- 93 seen mishaps occur. A glance over the resume of the sea- son will show at a glance the high standard of the Scarlet: THE RECORD Wlabash. .. . . . 25 XfVabash. . . . . . 32 Vtlabash. . . . . . 39 VVabash. . . . . . 30 XfVabash. . . . . . 24 VVabash. . . .. . 23 VVabash. .. ... 51 Vtlabash. . . . . . 51 Wabash. . . ... 19 Wlabash. . . . . . 42 VVabash. . . . . . 37 VVabash ...... . . . 24 Wabasll ..........

Stump also played on the famous '08 basket ball team. This is his second year on the team having gained the coveted letter each season. LAMBERT, W. L. YOUNT, A. S. - Stoney did not make his W as a freshman but has made good with a vengeance this year. His ability to break up plays and shoot the ball into the basket from impossible places at different angles has made him a man to be dreaded by both forwards and guards. Altho light he is able to hold his own with any be- cause of his cool head work and remarkable speed. BOWMAN, NEWTON. Husky is the amateur giant of the team. It is his flrst year on the 'varsity. Nevertheless he has carried himself with much credit, both to the college and himself. Husky seems to be the makings of one of the classiest centers that ever entered a ' circle. Here's faith in the big boy. Piggy. This is the wart's first year at forward on the 'Varsity and he has suddenly sprung into a life sized whirl wind. Pig- gy has the dribble down to perfection, and it may be truth- fully said that there is no stopping him when he starts down the floor with it. Lambert is in all probability the smallest intercollegiate basketball player in Indiana. 98 I. C. A. L.

The first prac- I' li fit .775 Q5 v 'WV A WWII tice meet of the season left matters con- siderably in doubt as to the prospects, but matters have all cleared up and Capt. Emanuel sees another bunch of State champions in the spring. At present all the men are train- ing hard for the State indoor meet at Indianapolis. This will be one of the greatest athletic carnivals ever held in Indiana, as it will bring together Purdue, Indiana, Notre Dame, Ilarlham, De Pauw, Franklin, Rose Poly and NVa- bash. Besides the old 'varsity men in the fold Brown, Dem- Lf M. ing, johnson, Bellman, Emanuel, I-Iesler, Starbuck and Iflargrave, there are a number of promising Freshmen, namely: Kingery, in the mile, Hubbard, in the dashes, I-Iendrickson, in the quarters, l-Iopkins, in the shot-put, and Miller, in the discus. All these men should develop into true 'Varsity caliber by the end of the season. Manager Eller has made out a very excellent schedule as follows: Wabasli vs. Culver Academy, at Culver, March 6th, State Indoor Meet at Indianapolis, April 23d, Wabash vsl Notre Dame, at Notre Dame, May lst, VVabash vs. Michigan Aggies at Crawfordsville, May 8th: 1. C. A. L. Meet at Richmond, May 15th 3 Conference Meet at Chicago, June Sth. 100 BILL MASON DAGo EMANUIEL Manager Capfaill abash Thin Clads CAPT. EMANUEL, G. H. ' HARGRAVE, C. M. EX- Dago has devoted his attention exclusively to the mile run since he blew in some three years ago from a place called Au- burn. He has been a hard worker and has earned his W each year. He hopes to lead the 1909 team to victory and will turn his attention, personally, to the half and the mile. He is one of the smallest men on the team, his height being 5 feet 6 and his weight 118 lbs. CAPT. BROWN, E. 0. Gov. is a real live champion in the shot put and a classy man in the discus. He has a record with the 16 lb. pill of 42 ft. 8 ln., and has thrown the discus around 115 feet. Brown has no equal in the West at shot putting and his record will very likely stand for several generations of Little Giants to adore. The team will lose a valuable man when he graduates this Spring. Gov. was captain of the 1908 team. DEMING, S. A. Chi blew in from M. T. H. S., wherever that may be, and since the date of his arrival has made things hum in this quarter. Deming has a long reaching stride which makes him a source of terror to all opponents. This combined with his whirlwind finish and headwork puts him in a class by himself. JOHNSON, H. M. Jonny the diminutive sprinter is another veteran among the bare-legged athletes. But what he lacks in size he makes up in his whirlwind of speed. He is now proving himself an able successor to Blair, the former Scarlet star. Jonny's level head and cousistaut training have made him a mau to be feared. Clarence ls the Christian name of the sturdy little pole vaulter who won his W for the first time in '08 by winning first in the state meet. He is a hard worker and an all-round athlete of considerable ability, and should make 11 feet before the end of the season. STARBUCK, S. T. Sammy is one of the all around athletes of the college, having pulled down three W's as a Freshman by playing on the foot- ball and base ball teams and incidentally performing like an ex- pert with the pole and standards. Sam is working on the high jump this year and should be one of the best point winners on the team. BELLMAN, W. C., JR. Helnle is another veteran who shows up stronger than ever this year. Bellman takes part ln more events than any man on the team being in the high and low sticks, the quarter and the high jump. Bellman won his W in '08. HESLER, L. R. Hess is a consistent trainer at the hurdles and high jump. In high school he acquitted himself with much credit but dld not strike his gait last season, and as a result did not perform up to his ability. He has the build of a flrst class man and will undoubtedly go some before graduation. 102 103 Base Ball SP 4 L 1 l I ye lr s veteians 111 the held and moie than half '1 scoie of new men with hiffh school reputations, the chances for a winning ,mv ut ASEBALL vros uects for tl1e season of 1909 fg' are especially bright.

The baseball season of 1908 cannot be called the great- est in the history of the game at Wabasli. Bad luck and unpropitious circumstances seemed to follow the repre- sentatives of the Scarlet. On the whole, however, the sea- son cannot be said to have been entirely unsuccessful. 10-l Schedule for 1908 0 April 6. VVaynetown ....... 0 VVabash .......... 2 May Mich. Aggies ...... April 15.

MARSHALL Governor of Indiana Trustee of Wabash College Q2 C Nw! - 1 K s Xian' 3 , ,ia 'fb' 3 'WV L, ' Ks K Lx' A if il' A The Alumni Where is the heart that does not keep, Within its inmost core, Some fond remembrance, hidden deep, Ot days that are no more? Utlll has been said in recent years of the loyalty which the students of Vtfabash manifest toward their college. Especially has this commendable spirit been shown in athletic rivalryg a spirit which has caused the Scarlet to be known and feared far and wide in athletics. This enthusias- tic zeal, which has always aided materially in the success of the Scarlet in athletics, as truly extends to other branches of college activity, and is as truly characteristic of the past as of the present. lt is such an attitude, among both pres-- ent and former students, that has tended to raise ever higher the standard of the institution, and to make her known wherever her friends are known. The College has contributed something in the four years of student transformation which shall remain vision- ary throughout lifeg something which extends to all, and places them upon common ground. It is of those who 113 -Howarth. have left the greener and perhaps brighter campus of stu- dent life and have gone out to continue their life's work in the broader and maturer one, that we wish to devote these pages. lt is this common interest which has caused a broad and deep fraternal feeling to manifest itself among all of those who have been students here long enough to imbibe her spirit. The same feeling is shown, to a great extent, be- tween the present students and the Alumni of 'the College: between those militant and those triumphant.,' It is upon the latter that much of the success of a college de- pends. Certainly one of the most potent factors for the good of a college or university is the interest manifested by the alumni for their Alma Mater. Nothing is so necessary to its resourcesg nothing advertises it so well. The enthusiasm which they foster extends throughout the sphere of their life's activities and is imparted to all with whom they come in contact. In this respect Waliasli College that been We believe that Wabash at present has reached the especially fortunate. No institution has been more success- most prosperous stage in her general development, and we ful in infusing into her sons a spirit of loyalty, which does trust that the scope of her usefullness will be even further not die easily, but lives and grows as the separation from extended and perpetuated with the tide of increasing years. student days increase. Alumni Associations The forming of Alumni Associations wherever sufficient numbers make it possible should have a decided influence for the betterment of a college. Their effort is to better organize and utilize those forces which are at Work for the advancement of a college-although at times they may seem lethargic-and which work to no small degree of its usefullness. The value of such organizations seems only to have been noted in the past few years, since which time many have been formed in the larger cities. Owing to the size of Wztbasli, it is difficult to find graduates, at any one place, in sufficient numbers to permit of their organiza- tion. Although there are few Alumni Associations of Wa- President, 0- D- Humphrey- , bash men, they have succeeded well in uniting the local friends and graduates of their community into a spirited The following permanent organizations have been formed: CHICAGO ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.

Some have become widely known in their chosen lines of work, while others are contributing, perhaps, as much to their fellowman, although it may be in a less apparent manner and in the quieter walks of life. Man after man might be named who has gone out in the broad field of life's activities, to successfully compete with the vital problems -of the world's wo1'k. It is, therefore, with some reluctance that we attempt to choose a few names of those upon whom honor has fallen, and who have reliected credit upon their Alma Mater. We trust thatthe names of those mentioned will serve to inspire every friend of the College, and to urge him on to in- creased efforts. Those prominent in politics and law: The Hon. Thos. R. Marshall, of the class of '73, was inaugurated Governor of Indiana, January 11, 1909. Much significance is at- tached to fact of his election to this important office. That the people of his State recognized in him a man of honesty and ability, is evidenced by the fact that they chose to honor him with the high- est position of responsibility which they could bestow. The battle for onice was made at great odds: without the aid of money, the influence of newspapers or corporations, and with only a common confidence in personal character and ability. Although he had been eminently successful as a lawyer, lt was not so much political ability that the people saw in him, as it was a character of honor and high-mindedness, a determination to respect the welfare of all the people and not a few. Born of a genuine devotion to his native 115 State, no 0118 can doubt but that he will serve her faitlifully and well. All, therefore, regardless of former views, unite in support of our Governor. ' Faithfulness to his Alma Mater, as far as time and means could serve, Mr. Marshall has shown to a marked degree. As a trustee and friend, Wabash College owes much to him for the support he has given her. Now, that his efforts are directed to the affairs-,of State, we can only aid and await the fulfillment of our prediction -that the success of his administration will more than show the loyalty and ability, which confidence in him has justified.

WABASH MEN TAKING ADVANCED WORK. lt is very encouraging to notice the number of Wabash grad- uates who are pm'suing their chosen studies in the graduate schools of the larger institutions. Such a condition speaks well for the school which has had in charge their earlier training. Several of the men mentioned have scholarships and all are doing creditable work. Claude Pifer, who is now at Oxford University, England, gradu- ated with the class ol' 1907. After 1'eceiving his Master of Arts de- gree, and passing the examinations for the Indiana Rhodes Scholar- ship, wasselected as the sole representative from this State.

A feathery, almost Hakey rain it was, which enveloped everything' in a misty veil. Magically the dreary, sonibre scene grew still more dreary and sombre. The scrub- pines and dog-wood thickets along the water seemed to draw closer and closer together, their outlines became more and more indistinctg finally they blended in one mass of greyness, stretching along each bank like a bounding wall. Everywhere thetsurface of the little trout stream was dotted with the minute drops of misty rain. Overhead, the sky could not be seen. The cloudy curtain was shutting down over us. Our world was bounded by the smooth brook, the two shadowy panels of darkness, and the roof of cloud above. I felt as though I was shut off from the earth in a mystic nebulous fairy land. Harve, our guide, began to swear happily under his breath. The Judge buttoned his rubber coat tighter around his portly form and strode on up stream. The scientist took from his pocket a packet of flies, and carefully, painstakingly selected one especially designed for rainy weather. The professor, in midstream, stood undecided, looking about him perplexedly. I quietly sat down on a half-sunken log and surveyed the scene. The mystic spirit of the surroundings cast their spell over me. I half ex- pected to see an elf peeping out from behind the big oak tree near me, or a nymph rising lightly from the water. Harve continued to swear. Lovingly he cursed the rain, the fish, his Hies, his rod and his reel, and finished with a general amiable maledietion upon them all. At length he broke off abruptly in 'his line of oaths. ' We'll begin to git 'em, now this rain's begun. That allays fetches 'em. From far up the stream the Judge called back. His voice, seeming to come from nowhere, was uncanny. It's high time they did begin to bite. We haven't had a single strike the entire day. They'll begin right soon, I reckon, I-Iarve made an- swer. This here is jest the exact spot where Cy Thompkins got thet big three-pounder Wediiesclay week. We're li'ble to pick up a big one any time 'round here. Anyways, we're 'bout through fer the day. Right around thet bend ahead is where we've got the camp-stuff an' blankets. Encouraged by this prospect I arose and stepped once more into the icy water. The rain seemed to have more 130 than doubled its chill. I shuddered as it crept up around my waist with ghost-like lingers. The professor, behind me, drawing in his breath sharply as the cold water struck his damp clothes, was the only thing that broke the in- tensely magical silence. A hundred feet further up the stream I came to a pool too deep to wade, and made for the bank to walk around it. As I stepped over a log on the sand my foot caught on it, and I fell headlong into the shrubbery lining the water. The unimpenetrable-looking hedge opened before me as if by magic, and closed behind me as suddenly and as mysteri- ously. I regained my footing and found myself standing on the edge of a pool about fifteen feet in diameter and four feet in depth. The undergrowth extended down to its very edge, in fact, I could see no shelving -beach, but the pool ap- peared to be in a basin with sheer perpendicular walls. The bottom was of wonderfully white sand, hard packed save in one place, the middle. Here a spring 'of water bubbled up incessantly. The water was as clear as crystal, and, most marvellous of all, the surface was unruhled by rain. I raised my head and saw that the trees around grew to- gether above, forming a thickly-matted roof through which the rain could not penetrate. The most magic spot of a magic fairy land! As I looked down I observed of a sudden that a trout of great size and beauty appeared on the bottom as though from nowhere. For the first instant I thought that it had been thrown out of the ground by the fountain: the next moment I dismissed the thought as absurd, then I stood un- decided. There was no other place from which it could 131 have come-yet the idea was beyond reason. A moment more I hesitated. Then, as I gazed about me, it became perfectly clear. I was in a fairyland, so of course the fish had come from the fountain. Lightly I cast my Hy on the surface of the water. Like a Hash the big trout leaped for it, and the light was on. My fairy land was dispelled. For the moment it faded away. I have caught trout, and some pretty big ones, before and since, but never have I experienced another tremendous struggle such as that one. But fortune favored me, for at length I brought him to the surface and pulled him out, his strength exhausted, his fighting spirit gone. I was looking at him as he lay flapping weakly on the line, enjoying him to the full, satiating myself with the per- fect beauty of his markings and color, when I heard a strained voice at my elbow. Better put him backf' I turned to see who was the author of this ridiculous request. It was I-Iarve. Wl1y ? I queried, amazed beyond all description. It wonlt do you ner none of us no good to keep him. .lletter put him back,'l he persisted doggedly. I looked at him. I-Iis face was chalk white, and wore a strange, scared expression. VVhat's the matter ? I asked hastily. The terror in his look alarmed me. It added to the uncanniness of the place. lt was growing dusk, the gathering darkness threw an air of deeper mystery over the whole scene. There was some- thing sinister and foreboding about it all. I could not see it, but I could feel it-an evil-bearing twilight in fairy- land. I, too, became scared. To my ears came I-Iarve's voice, sounding strangely queer and unnatural. Let's git out of here, quick. We're campin' right acrost the stream here. Come on, an' I'll tell ye the hull storyf' , I picked up my prize CI could not bring myself to throw it back without good causej and followed him. We broke through the underbrush, waded the cold stream, climbed the little bank, and sat down with our companions around the fire. They exclaimed loudly over the beauty of my catch, and li, forgetting, joined with them a little until I caught IIarve's eye. I-Iis face wore the same terrified look. I held up my hand warningly and they ceased. VVell, I-Iarve, I said, tell us 'the story,' as you call it.', It's this way, he began, looking with troubled eyes at the fire, then, out across the brook, then back again to the fire, all the while puffing short, hard, nervous puffs upon his pipe. Thet place you stumbled into is what folks about here calls the 'magic boiling springf It's hard to find the fust time, this was the fust time I ever seen it, ani I've fished the Maple here ten year or more, an' I wouldn't a found it this time ef I hadn't seen where you went when you fell. It's hanted, thet's why itis so hard to find, and the place it's in ain't-well, it ain't like the rest o' the places on the earth. One night 'bout twelve years ago ol' Cub Konly went off in his haid and brung his wife out here from town and ! drowndcd her. Folks found out about his goin' in the mornin', an' came out here to see what he'd done to her It was nigh onto ev'ni11 when they got here, and they heered ol' Cub a-singin' and a-yellin' an' a-laughin' horrible, in a loud unnatural voice. They made fer the place where his voice was comin, from, and fin'ly they found thet pool, and saw ol' Cub a-standin' lookin' down into the pool an' carryin' on in thet queer way. VVhen Cub saw 'em, he up an, jumped right into the water, and no one ever seen any- thing more of 'im. Ile disappeared complete. Jes gone. An' when them men looked around ,em fit was gettin' on toward night, you knowj they seen thet things was gettin, queer an'- shadowy-like, and the fust thing they knowed a kind of a ghost begun to rise out oi thet pool. They got out o' there, an' run, an' they say thet ghost follered 'em more'n half-way to town. VVell, sir, after thet, whenever any of them men hed the nerve to go back to thet pool, they allays seen two great big beautiful rainbow trout lyin' on the bottom of thet spring. Folks said thet they wuz the ghosts of Cub and his wife. Folks hereabouts let 'em be fer a long spell, but after three er four year jim Edwards, him thet runs the store up to the village, he wuz fishin' here one day an' ketched one of 'em, and tuk him an' laid him down on the shore where he wuz campin'. Jim told me about it after- wards. 'Long toward ev,ning,' he says, 'I noticed it was gettin' dark an' shad'wy an' kind of queer like, and I begun to get scared. I knowed I ought to take thet fish back, but I was afeered to go near the pool agin, so I jest stuck around my fire as clost as I could, an' waited. Well, after it got dark,' he says, 'thet ghost come risin' out o' thet 132 spring, and begun to circulate around lookin, fer somp'in, and I knowed it was the fish. At fust,' says Jim, 'the ghost eouldn't seem to find it, but after a while she came straight on a line toward me an' thet fish. I. closed my eyes,' jim says, 'and when I looked agin thet fish was gone, plum gone, and then I heered a voice jes' like ol' Cub's use to be, comin' from thet pool sayin': Ei she hadn't a found me, jim Ed- wards, it would a meant bad luck fel' you all yer life. Yessir,' says jim, 'I swear, by God, .I. heerd him say them very words' So you see what it means to the man thet takes away one of them fish. I kinder believe thet's where Cy 'l'hompkins got thet big one he wuz showin' 'round t'other day. Iii 'tis, bad luek'll git'im sure. I wouldn't take one o' them fish out fer a thousand dollars, not me. Thetls why I told you to throw 'im back. Ef you don't, the ghost'l1 come out an' hunt for it sure. Look! See thar ! He finished in a hoarse whisper, and pointed with trembling finger out across the stream. Out of the thieket was rising a little cloudy, vapory ap- parition that hovered for an instant above the trees and then moved slowly away from us. In a moment it was gone. Did you see her? Harve gasped in an awed under- tone. She didn't find it, so she'll come back fer it some- time tonightfl Looked just like one of the ghosts Homer describes as coming up from Hades to drink the blood of the victims, suggested the Greek professor. Fiddlestieks ! ejaeulated the scientist. It was merely the heavy vapor rising from the water as it always does on a damp evening after a rain. I said nothing, but sat silent, meditating upon the strangeness of things. lyate that night, long after the other three had gone to sleep, Ilarve and I lay down in our blankets beside the tire. We had waited long, but the spectre had not yet come back. The last thing I heard before I dropped off into slumber was I-Iarve, speaking in a low voice: She'll come back fer it some time before mornin'. El she don't-God help you. Sure enough, when morning came, the fish was gone, but whether by hands from this or from a spirit world, who can say? . But one week later, Harve, just returned from two days' trout fishing on the Maple, took me aside and whis- pered in my ear: I seen it today, he said. lt was lyin' kind of lazy- like on the bottom of the boiling spring. I didn't disturb it, you kin bet. 'llut I know fer sure it was thar, so I reckon the spirit must a found it after all. An' ol' Cy 'l'h0mpkins bruk his leg yisterday afternoon.

College stands as a constant refutation vGQdl yfap' ' I V . . of the statement that VVabash is going to 505-jf seed on athletics, and that debating and 6223 oratory a1'e dead in the Athens of Indiana. 1 ,vt 'gm-, E . ,. ATAW' lVlembers of the faculty and alumni who visit the meetings of the Society almost unanimously are of the opinion that the interest in these phases of student activity is constantly increasing, and that the work done in these lines is worthy of the loyal support of the student body. The Society is closing a very successful year, one marked not so much by brilliant achievements as by an in- creasing manifestation of interest on the part of the mem- bers, and by an increasing excellence in the character of the work accomplished. The membership is large, com- paring favorably with that of other years. The proportion of really active members is increasing, as is evidenced by the attendance and preparation of those who take part. In contests the Society has been successful. The win- ners of the first and second prizes in the Thomas C. Day Oratorical Contest in November were both Lyceum men. The representative of the College in the Inter-Collegiate Contest at Indianapolis in February, who won third place for Old VVabash, is a Lyceum member. Wliile the team representing the Society in the inter-society debate in February was defeated, the same team won from the veteran Butler in the Triangular League Contest in March. Three Lyceum men have already 1'eceived Tau Kappa Alpha honors for debating and oratory, and two others are elegible. The hall in which the Lyceum Society meets 'has been completely renovated and redecorated, making a comfort- able and pleasant place in which to gather. The new ad- ministration is composed of men of merit and ability, and the Society looks forward to a successful and useful ca- reer. 136 137 , s Calliopean Literary Society -. 1 HE Calliopean Society is as old as inter- ,-- 11-Tfjft est in literary work at Wabasli, hav- ing existed, flourished and sometimes lapsed, since near the founding of the Col- lege.

A. is Tuesday evening. In the room at Cen- ter Hall the regular weekly meeting of the Wabash College Young Men's Christian Associ ttion has just been dismissed The students who took part 111 the meeting do not seem anxious to leave The hum of l X f, X ' 2 ' . 1 I l 1 n C -several voices arises, and now and then, a merry laugh penetrates the dark, dismal halls of the other- wise deserted building. Amid the din of conversation a complete sentence is occasionally heard above the general con- fusion. Gee, this was a good meeting tonight. The leader selected an excellent subject, remarks a sober Sophomore to someone who happens to be close by. Say, we're going to make a lot of money by selling that old paper we have been collecting for the Y. M.,f'-this comes from an energetic and practical junior to a group who are talking over the finances of the Y. M. C. A. I hope we have a regular student secretary by this time next year, -a hopeful Freshman butts in upon a group of grave Seniors who are viewing the future pros- pects of the Association. Say, we must get well organized to help new students next fall when college begins, exclaims someone else as he gains the attention of the newly elected president. 143 Such is the enthusiastic spirit which enfolds the real workers of the Young Men's Christian Association of Xfvil- bash College. It is that spirit which gives the assurance that the Y. M. C. A. will be, in coming years, a growing inliuence in XfVabash College. It is that spirit which makes its members feel elated over the hopeful future of the As- sociation rather than feel dejectcd over its failures in the past or its weakness in the present. There is no need to explain the nature of the Y. M. C. A. In general everyone knows about the world-wide work of the Y. M. C. A. In particular the local Association is trying to do its part in that work as applied to Wabash College. The mission of the Y. M. C. A. in the world is the mission of the Y. M. C. A. at XfVabash College. It is to develop MEN-not merely to develop athletic individuals, not merely to develop intellectual individuals, not merely to develop religious individuals, but to develop MEN-and by MEN we mean individuals developed in ALL those attri- butes in their correct proportion. The mission of the Y. M. C. A. is closely related to the mission of Wabasli Col- lege. In fact, it is the same--to make MEN, and to make them more powerful. The active members of the association at Wabasli Col- lege are looking into the future, are hoping for things to come. They are dreaming of a larger, stronger and more influential Associationg they are dreamingvof a time when of a time when the Y. M. C. A. will take its rightful place a secretary will give all of his time to the interests of the as a vital part of college life, an institution consecrated to College Y. M. C. A., they are dreaming of a time when the the divine purpose of helping men become better and more Association can have a home of its own g they are dreaming powerful through the influence of a pure Christian life.

THE CAMPUS, JUNE 16, 1908. . ,-.,,-,g-,, HE Oedipus Tyrannus presented by the Greek Department last Commencement Kg,-li attracted attention throughout the State. lt was the Hrst Greek play in English that mp had ever been put on the stage in lndiana, ig,nQ'Q and a number of those interested in the Q '7'4 f'5' ' classics, in addition to the usual visitors of the season, came to see the performance. The play was given in the campus. Scenery, costuming and theater were all as nearly like those of the days of l-'ericles as it was possible to make them. The cast had spent nearly tive months in rehearsing, and the final pre- sentation of the play was a distinct success in every particu- lar. lt was presented under the personal direction of Prof. D. D. Hains, head of the Greek Department, and great credit is due the Professor for the success of the production. The play was a distinct innovation at VVabash com- mencements, and was undoubtedly one of the most pleasant features of the festivities. It was witnessed by an audience of more than six hundred people, everyone of whom was charmed by the merit of the play. Although it was some- thing new, it was just as meritorious as it was novel. The music for the play was furnished by members of the College Glee Club. It consisted of four choral songs and one choral ode by the quartcttc. This part of the produc- 145 tion was under the direction of john l'.. Geiger, of the Schnellschnndt Studio, lndianapolis. CAST. Oedipus ......... .......... ..... M 1 '. S. E.

Second Place In Day Orzltorical Contest Baldwin oratorical contest for Seniors occurred. It was won by john Fisher with an oration on The Iron Age of Educationf, Mr. Fisher received the Baldwin .Prize of ninety dollars. Both the debating and the oratorical con- tests were excellent. The first event of note during the present college year was the Thomas C. Day Oratorical Contest on Founderls Day, November 21. The contest was an unusually close one, only two points separating the winners of the first and second prizes. W. H. Linn secured first place and a prize of fifty dollars with an oration on The Individual and the State. Edward 1-1. Ziegner won second place and a prize of twenty-five dollars, with an oration on The Industrial VVorld-A New Realm for Democracy. ln the Triangular League debates, between VVabash, Butler and Earlham, held on March 12, VVabash won one and lost one, the 'Varsity negative team, composed of Calvin M.

ClrllEMlSCllE Gl2SliLLSClrl1kF'l', the gf igg first ofthe departmental societies, was 3,3 organized October 21, 1908, for the 'ff WK lf' mutual benefit to be derived from the systematic study of those subjects of gen- eral interest which can not be treated in the regular course. The active member- ship consists of those students enrolled in Courses lll or IV I . . . . . . .Vice-President . . . .Secretary-Treasurer of the Chemistry Department. Associate members are chosen from Course ll as a mark of honor for superior ability. The meetings, held each week throughout the col- lege year in the Chemistry Lecture Room, are devoted to two or more papers on various phases of the subject, fol- lowed by a general discussion. So far, the organization has proved an incentive to greater activity in the work of the Department. 152 153 The Wabash Botanical Society r-:-- illE Wiabash Botannical Society was organ- ized the evening of December 8, 1908, by by members of the three upper classes in the llotanical Department. The pur- pose of the organization is manifold. Primarily it was intended as a medium through which to promote interest in Botany, for through such a society subjects could be delt with which, for lack of time, could not be discussed in the regular class work. The training which the society might afford its members in class and concise oral expression was considered of equal importance with the subject matter. ln view of the fact that there is a prevailing lack of ability on the part of the, scientist of today to properly present a subject, much emphasis was laid on this feature. ln ad- L69-733 M. .AM l dition to these two main purposes of providing botanical information and offering a training in public speaking, it was deemed a duty to the NN7abash Botanical Department that, as the life of the department rests with the students interested in it, some effort be made to promote its wel- fare mainly in the way of securing for it new and desirable students. lt was with these ideas in mind that the Society was organized and so far, in its short history, much of real good has been realized from its meetings, and with a foundation gained with age it should develop into a vital part of the department capable of filling a long-felt want. 1 lie Society meets every Wednesday evening in its room in Center Hall, at which time two previously as- signed subjects are presented together with a review of the week's botanical literature.

HE Dramatic Club of XfVabash College is a thing entirely in its infancy. lfor the past few years a great deal of interest has been shown by the students of the College in amateur dramaties. The Senior class each year gives a play of local derivation and by local talent, and the Greek students, under the direction of Prof. Hains of that department, gave the first of the annual Greek plays at the Commencement of 1908. E The interest thus shown in this phase of college ac- tivities probably prompted the organization of this club. f SQL ,gg l Shortly after the beginning of the Fall term in 1908, Dan Milligan, of the class of '12, and an upper classman, also interested, chose at random, or from previous record, about a dozen men who they thought could act, and calling them together, elected officers, adopted a constitution, and formed the present organization. The principal object of the club is to give a play each year in the early spring. The parts will be open to any student in College and assigned by try-outs. The perform- ance will develop talent for senior plays and awake an inter- est in the writing of local plays. A permanent name for the organization has not, as yet, been chosen, but a monthly meeting time was adopted, and four offices were fixed upon. They are as follows: President. M. F. Hegler, '10g Manager, Dan lVlilligan, 'l2: Secretary, R. G. Sanders, '10, Treasurer, Howard O'Neall, '10. The Club was especally fortunate at its beginning in ob- taining Mr. Carey, instructor in the English Composition De- partment, as its director. M r. Carey is interested in the work, has had experience, having written a play for one of the Wis- consin societies, and has charge of the try--outs and direction of plays in general. It is to be hoped that the Club will be successful in its endeavors and become an organization which will thrust honor upon its members. The limit of membership is twenty, and new recruits are chosen from students making good in the yearly productions. Bernard Shaw's Arms and the Man is the play for 1909, and will be given about the time this book is pub- lished. 156 157 A EAQWUUUQ D U If NE SK R. K. VVINTER5 .. EUc:15NI2 THORNTUN T. K.

Three of the men instru- llfl-QQ mental in its formation were D. C. Adams, M. H. Brubaker, and C. C. Stev- ens. Their ultimate aim was to publish a newspaper of college life. This they were unable to ac- complish the first year. In the spring of 1908, the Press Club having lcd a rather precarious existence, was reor- ganized, and M. H. Brubaker was elected Editor-in-Chief of a new semi-weekly publication which, after much de- liberation, was christened The Bachelor. The first num- ber was printed' April 9, 1908, and from this initial number the publication has been a success. The Bachelor is not, nor, by reason of its character, can it be, a rival of The Wabasl1. Each fills a separate and distinct place in the life of the college. The Bachclor is distinctively a newspaper, and as such not only reflects stu- dent sentiment but moulds it as well. The Wabasl1 reviews the life of the college, but its ideal function is that of a purely literary magazine. The Bachelor , presents a phase of student existence that no other publication can cover. Since last year several new men have been elected to membership and the Press Club is in a flourishing condition. Applicants for membership must have completed Course I in English Composition. They are given assignments and the quality of their work is carefully noted. As the mem- bership limit is thirteen, only a very few men are admitted each year. The Press Club of VVabash is a member of the Indiana Intercollegiate Press Association, composed of the Press Clubs of various colleges of the State. , BACHELOR BOARD. H. ll.

Of course, we are the ---- class in VVabash College, but at that, our ability to hurl into the gekhyris world those things which are apt to tinge the light nature of the object peoples, to cause even the most fastidious to wriggle in their throes of solid laughter, to look even into the eyes of Mirth her- self and with an unflinching eye, a drawn mouth, and a steady step, proclaim her inferior to our generous output of light verses which could be, but are not humorous, is lacking. Why do you laugh? Perhaps you do not. If not, why not? ls not your present environment sufficient to cause laughter? We are not a living niinstrel show Cas no doubt the serious would have you thinkj, but mere humans Cstu- dents, as it werej, who have been benefited by the examples of the seniors, and likewise taught the classmen under us. Why do you wonder at what we are attempting to say to you in these foolish lines? I-Iow could we tell you when we are scarcely able to say ourselves? In a word, we are Juniors. To an alumnus that word is sufficient. To the one, I say, who has lived through the exciting Freshman and Sophomore years and dropped off into the common and more dignified junior year, our lack in mirth is already explained. But to those who have not 'experienced the contrast, and who have not had, as yet, the opportunity to experience this wonderful drop Cor elevation in cases of mostj, we would say that when a stu- dent reaches his junior year he feels the responsibility of the proper tutoring of the Freshmen and an insane desire to set a good example for the Sophs, and to make the serious believe that he is. fully capable to fill the vacancy left by that most high 1- is sufficient to defeat all the ambitious of mirth, and throw down all an- xiety of laughter that might arise in his ambitious head. ,But it cannot be my object to dwell on excuses, for we must make the frail attempt. Let us first depart from this perusal into the realms of nothingness and scan our lives for the most mirthful things to be found. When we first gathered on that wonderful old campus we bore the earmarks of a motley crew. But fortunately there was one among us who had been wise enough to bring his cards along, and that fortunate youth was elected our heroic president. He had long curly hair for a while, but unfortunately a sudden disease found him interesting, and his curly locks were lost. Thus Pat Zeigner passed through his first year as merry as the rest of us, but a little more unfortunate. That year saw us lose many. but when we came back in the fall we saw fit to place one in the high-chair who was a native f'tis truej of the wilds of a neighboring state. lle had no trouble. Perhaps the Freshmen had pity Cfor their numbers were manyj and let him go, but all in all, it 'was not an eventful year. Then came the change. We we1'e thrust into the oblivion of a Junior, and are suffering. VVe tried to make ourselves 172 known by a basketball team, and owing to the tireless ef- forts of the coach, lost every game. But what is basket- ball besides a game. There are wonderful men in our class who can do anything but play basket ball, but in this they are deficient. For instance, we had four who were able to get married, and one who announced his engagement and then backed down. yVe have manly athletes, musicians, orators and debators, high financiers and, in fact, all sorts but we lack the one thing-a mirth hurler. She-The only bar to my happiness, dearie, is the thought that some day I may be a widow. He-Don't worry, pet. That shall never happen while I live.-Swiped. . Higgins, when asked the color of a chicken's gizzard, replied: It is a mixture between heliotrope and lavender, is it not? Answer: i'Yes, it is-notfl Oi hear that Mrs. Casey is givin' a party on Monday. Her youngest daughter is comin' out. And phwat was she in fer? -l3orrowed. Bought a phonograph yesterday. That's a good sound investment. -Stolen.

There was a man in our school, And he was wondcrous wise, llut he got into trouble once- Could not get by the spies And when hc saw what he had done, VVith all his might and main, il le wept in very saddening tones, And now he's back again. Jester, after a period of painful, purgatorical proba- tion, rises to announce his ressurcction from the state of suspended animation and innocuous desuetude to which faculty ban had consigned him, and reappears to an in- credulous campus.-Strayed. '09-Say, why is a Saturday make-up recitation like heaven? '10-I'n1 askin'. '09-Not a damned soul there. We very much regret to state that our endeavors to learn the secrets of the Mutual Admiration Society were in vain, and that noble organization must be left out of this issue. Official announcement has just been received that, ow- ing to the f'.Z3l' election on the 23d, the cards will not be printed next year and thereby some poor 'students will be deprived of the chance to exhibit their best developed faculties. NVQ wish to state in behalf of some few of the stu- dents, that we very much rejoice over the election for it is bound to keep down certain ailments which are likely to arise in the present environment. VVhy shouldn't it be compulsory that all organizations should have caps? i I 'lfhere was a young' Freshman named Mick, VVho played a poor boy a mean trick. At the end of Round 3 C.-Xnd that is all of this poor limerick we could fmclj. Oh! the leanness of the .lnnior when he's lean, And the meanness of the Sophomore when he's mean. llut the leanness of the leanest And the meanness of the meanest Can't beat the greenness of the Freshman when l green. Our Four Benedicts There was a young fellow named Powers, VVho built matrimonial towers, And now, 'way out west, Ile is doing' his best With those kids that make minutes seem hours. Another ambitions young fellow CA great many thought he was yellowj Stole off to the South, Never opened his mouth, And now he thinks day work is hell-ow.

A. building HMay All Our Sins Be Forgotten? Some Rambling Reminiscences from a Senior. It is but natural to refer to the Review of Reviews when in '05, out in the green world a chosen few should list to the call of the wild and gird on the armour for the fray and journey to this lovely little hamlet. As I. remember, it was the largest and choicest bunch of green ones that had ever thus far graced the chapel seats. Little did we think whom then we had among us. There were embryonics who should develop into men of every dispo- sition and temperament. These should come forth as fin- ished products, men of reflection, and men of action-men with aesthetic tastes and men of artistic temperament- men who are weaklings and men who are well developed athletes, men who are modest and men who are hellers g men who are decisive and fight to the finish, and men who are weakkneed and follow the crowdg men who believe in local option, and men who want to buy all the drinks, and while it is far from my purpose to chronicle the short- comings of the men of this class, yet there is no doubt but that each will admit that we have done some things which would have been better left undone, and that we have left undone some things which we had better have left done. Done! What a pretty word it is! Have you ever been done? Sad chapters and unpleasant memories could be included in this delicate subject. But I wonder, if we were to draw the veil and see ourselves playing the role of the poor old father, could we look the son in the eye and with steady voice tell him of the straight and nar- row way? We have had many good times. We have cast away the cares of the day and defied the night with its encircling gloom, and set the old town ablaze. It will be our delight to relate these incidents by the fireside in years to come. lint who among you can forget--as well as if before the grand jury-that memorable night in February, three years ago? Was not that the night when all the gang was here and out for a good time? Was not that the time when our dear doctor was in close communion with the student body for several days following? Who among you have visited Lafayette or Indianapolis? Who knows Curley? Who among you have traveled these years on the good ship Lithia without a fall? Who ever heard of a track meet? Who has juggled with the principle of a poker game? Not all the members of this class have been guilty of such Hagrant violations of college rules. Some, in fact, have only degenerated far enough to use the weed on rare occasions, or to be able to express themselves in language that is more forceful than elegant. Some are hailed as heroes for inventing clever excuses for chapel cuts 176 Cwhile a large number belong to the Ananias Club ?D. Some of our most loyal Calvanistic brethren have come out from behind the bushes and have done Broadway and taken in the Burlesque. Nearly every member of the class has tried some have been their stunt never before heard of in his curriculum. Some no more serious charge to face than that they have allured by some Athenian belle, and have forgotten blue-eyed Gracie .at home. There has been a diversity of opinion as to what consti- tutes good times and good fellowship. There has been a diversity of opinion as to policies to be adopted. Innova- tions have come and traditions sacred to many an alumnus have been forgotten. And only in the ashes of the past can we recall the battles at the standpipe and the midnight ex- cursions into the country. Hazing is a thing of the past, and while at one time we could 'boast of many barbers in the class, yet the profession is fast losing favor with the rising generation. ' There have been sizzling class meetings, where a perfect lady would not care to remain. There have been days of heated debates and riotious living and there were men who defied all the powers that be and thought they could lick the whole college and the faculty thrown in. Conflicting forces have met, been repulsed and met again. There have been bitter pills to swallow-, but- I et us Forget. The poet would tell us that it is by our mistakes that we would rise. So let us hope, and l am sure I have not such a pessimistic view as it would seem, for there have been many bright rays to brighten and to bless. And while we have had many a conflict and many a doubt, many hard words and short replies, yet out of this class there has de- 177 . veloped men. Real men-men of sterling worth and noble qualities, and since the days are short that we are to rub elbows together, l pray let them be pleasant: and while l have only attempted to paint a small portion of college life, yet I am sure that were the more refining colors present these short comings would disappear in the back ground or appear as satallites. These phases have been necessary to test the mettle of the men and I would say that all the activities of college lifie in which we have shared have, in a measure, fitted us to fill some position of honor and trust in nearly every avenue of life. And when we have crossed the portals of this institution next june, let us remember that big nights and shortcomings belong only to student days and that we, as men, will have the backbone, the moral stamina. faith in the honor of men, all necessary qualities in the ability to make good. And when in years to come as we gather around the alumni banquet board there some may realize that VVhen we have passed the middle stage of this life. And are reaping harvests of our work and strife, Wliicli crop yields more happiness of those we've sown, Books we have read or the real men we've known P ' And now that we have nearly completed the process. and peace is about restored, let the last few weeks be as a Christmas anthem, Peace on earth and good will to men, for the time will come when we will be mighty glad to see an old '09er even though he may have been most unfriendly. And so before All these noble hearts crack and flights of angles sing them to their rest. May all our sins be for- gottenf' 178 F s Zlcknumlehgement nflfsil' N '.I',I'll,S page we wish to express our ap- .T s- E preciation for the interest taken and as- sistance l'Cl1ClCl'CCl by the student body, lu K faculty, alumni and friends of the College. lNe felt, that in assuming the responsi- bility of reviving the 'fOuiatenon, we could not meet with success unless .we had the support and sympathy of all persons connected with the College in any way. This we asked for and this we received. Our aim has been to put before the friends and supporters of Old VVabash, a book, in which one may read of the doings of students, the events of the season, the work of classes-in short, an annual, such as an outgoing Senior will treasure as a resume or record of his last year at W'a- bash College. Y, Ng: lqgftv I. The Ouiatenon has been revived after about five years of lethargic inactivity. The Class of 1910 has endeavored to start the annual again on a good Firm basis. Why not keep it up? XfVhy not make the Ouiat'enon one of the permanent institutions of Wlabash College? We should dislike to have the lower classes, when they reach their Junior year, admit the superiority of '10. late have put the animal on a running basis, why cannot the classes to 179 follow put a few more shovelsfull of coal on their tires of class spirit, and put out the Uuiatenon',? They do it in other colleges throughout the country, and we feel called upon to make a plea for the continuance of this institution at Old Waluasli. Class 1911, to you especially do we intend these words to apply. 1t's up to you.
