AT the a-e of llftCL-n, he matri. nlatc 1 at Wake KoreM College, a.t.l uas gra.luatea with hi-hest honors in 1SS3. A year later, at the early age ot twenty, l.efore he himself conld wield a ballot, he was elected to the State Legislature. Alter leavm- Wake Korest he was graduated at the C.reensbaro Law School, becoii.ng a bar- rister tn 1886. Later, he was awarded a S holarshii, in History and I ' olitKs at Johrs Hopkins University. , In 18S6, he entered the ministry and entered n|)0n his first |,astorate at Raleigh, N. L., in 1887. He was called to a Boston pastorate in 1888, and in 1889 to the People ' s Church, New York, where he preached to larger throngs of people, than any other preacher in America. In 1899 he resigned to become a public lecturer. Of recent years he has retired to his beautiful Virginia home at Dixondale, on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay. His purpo. e has been Iron childhood, to pursue a liter- ary career— a purpose, which he has reali .ed with ronsumate sue. ess m two no els, -The Leopard ' s Spots. and •■The One Woman, the remarkable success of which has shown him to be an author of no mean ability. Of all her sons Wake I ' orcst has noae who has reflected more honor ujjon his .-Mma Mater. (Bvcetino IT IS Hiili a ffcliiiy of ruliii taiux-, that the editors sue the scioml ohimc.

We hnou that it is a ( ustoin of Umii slamliiig to make an apology for e ery literary ]iro(liii lion whether it lie nee essar ' or not, anl while our work e-an hardly be accused of bein;4 literar , siill «e feel ihal our readers will think the a|)ology necessary. We fall back on that old and time-honored e ( use, hu k of time. Hoary with a ' , ' e and ballered by the almse of mm h rough liandling we hohi it up again, and lug you to ace ept it as true. We lielieve that we can really prox e this e ( use lo be alid. ' I ' he publication of Tut.

Under such circumstances, we feel that the result cannot be, what it should. ' et we beg of onr readers, that they overlook the most glaring of our faults and |ja.ss by w ith a kindly eye, some of the errors which mar the prodtlclion. With this brief apology we turn our little volume over to the leniler mercies of onr reailers. hoping that it will pro e interesting, an aci ount of what it stands for, rather than what it is.

Senior Class Mistov TMl ' ' , full of 1900, marks an epoch in the history of the world. With it passed away a century that has meant more for the progress of the world, than any previous age. It is with a feeling of sorrow, that we witness the declining days of such a prosperous age ; for it is so much like the last days of a great and good man ' s life. That fall even the trees and plants of the field seemed to be mourning as their leaves faded, and their seed fell to the ground to be seen no more, till the old century had passed away. But all nature provides for the future. The oak dies not till it has ]ilanted its acorn. To-day paves the way for to-morrow. Every century ushers in the forces which move the next, and the Nineteenth Century was no exception. Blessed with such a record of progress in invention, si iem e, literature and men, it foresaw the needs of the coming age and, consei|uently. in its declining days began to charter trains bound for Wake Forest, and to i)uur into the college the men, who were to take the lead in the Twentieth Century. The men who met the trains that fall, .saw nothing unusual in the countenances of those newish ; but there was something unusual in them. Deep in their souls, burned a desire to revolutionize the world, and resting u|)on their .shoulders, was the responsibility for the progress of the Twentieth Century. They were to make their age what, in- deed, it should lie. Meaning business and having no time to lose, they at once set about their work. Having learned that all the rooms in the laboratory were taken, they secured other places. The ne. t thing, was to organize a base ball team. One over-energetic member of the class proceeded at once to take names of those, who wished to play. It was no trouble to get names. Soon he had his eighteen enrolled. But, poor fellow ! his game was lost. When he attcmiited to muster out his team, nobody knew the men he had enrolled. What a cruel trie k for the old men, to have enrolled under assumed names ! But ours was not a class to be outdone. We had been pre[ ared where the motto was : — If at first you don ' t .succeed — Try, try again. Vet we plainly saw that we must make a change or be defeated in our plans. In the meantime the upper classes met and organized, and we at once saw wherein lay our weakness. Accordingly, a day was set apart for a meeting of the newish. Bv some means the upper classes discovered our intention, and when we met, behold, we were encompassed round about by a mighty army. But You must not think, That we are made of stuff so flat and dull. That we can let our beard be shook with danger, . nd think it pastime. f)ur cham|.iions came forth, and a mighty battle followed, in which many of our men were taken prisoners, but the result of the battle was victory for the newish. P ' or the first time in the history of the college the Freshman class met, and after much clamoring for office, Jack Sprinkle was chosen President ; Sam Williams, Vice- President, and Bob Dowd, Secretary and Treasurer. Having come to order, we adopted as our motto, United, we stand ; divided, we fall ! which we have clung to, ever since in classroom, on examinations, and on the athletic field. That newish meeting marked an epoch in the history of the college. It meant a breaking up of the unwritten laws against newish unity, and since that time the rights and ]5rivileges of the newish class have been more and more respected. May the newish classes, which shall succeed us, remember that the comparati e ]ieace which shall preval between them, and the upper classes in the years to come, was sei ured for them Ijy the valor of our class, on the battlefield, in the fall of 1900. Having passed through the kingdom of newish-dom, uncertain roads of which are always flooded with shoe-polish and often lead through dark ( aves where the night- hawks await their prey, we journeyed on to the land of the Sophs. We chose l)a id Bland for President, . nd .started out to conquer the country. The [irintipal city of this land, located near the boundary of the newish kingdom, is called Wisdom. Finding it a beautiful city with a very weak population, we at once took possession, and spent the most of our time there. However, we were invaded many times by two armies, known as (. ' ritics and Professors, who have always seemed envious of the city, where we then lived. Our only wall of defence was Self- importance, and little by little, they stole from us our su]iplies, till we found ourselves reduced to starvation and compelled to flee to another land. Our journey was dark, and uncertain. We were tired and hungry, and almo.st gave up in despair. Many fell by the wayside, and have never been heard of since. At length, we found ourselves at the edge of a river called Exam, the width or de])th of which no one knew. But bright lights gleamed from the other shore. How to cross the river was the question. We had no boats, and were too weak to swim. To stay there meant to die, to turn back, meant cowardice and disgrace, but to reach the other shore, see.ned to promise mare hop; of success. We rested a few minutes and plunged into the stream. Some tried to swim too fast at first, became exhausted, and were drowned. Others, who could not swim, fastened themselves to their ponies and imdertook to drive them across. Soon the water became too deep, and the poor little beasts, gasping under their burdens, rolled over and buried their riders under them. Others tried to swim by clinging to one another, but failed. But the majority of our host, who learned before how to swim, crossed over all .safe, and found ourselves wel- comed by a little more congenial people. The Juniors, (the inhabitants of the new country) were very kind to us in our poverty and gave us something to eat, and a place to stay. We soon found ourselves in the town of Humiliation, and staid there no longer than we could muster strength to mo e on. With Foote as President, Dowd as Vice-President, Weaver as Secretary and Treasurer, and Hoadaway as Historian, we left the city of Humiliation, and by short cuts and rapid strides we hastened through the kingdom of Jimiordom and find ourselves to- day marching under the flag of Sporty Seniors. Since our Newish year, nothing supernatural has been accomplished by our class. We have engaged in many hard-fought battles which have cost us dear, both in men and money, but we are hapjjv to say that in every battle we have met the enemy and he is ours. ¥oT the past two years, the world has heard but little from us. Our experiences during these years, have made the whole world seemed changed to us. Behold, we have changed. Our desire to revolutionize the world has left us and our now prevail- ing sentiment, has been already voiced to the world by the orators of our class, who have preached earnestly for Evolution versus Revolution and Back to the Country ! We have learned that growth is slow. Nature takes her time. We have learned that even our growth is slow . We expected to have been world-renowned before this, but alas! who knows us? In our anxiety to rise, realizing the difficulties on our way, we exclaim with the poet; Ah I who can tell how hard it is to climb The steps where Fame ' s proud temple shines afar? And yet our strides, have not been in vain. We are gradually attaining fame ; for look at the men elected from our class in the Howler Contest — the most handsome and the ugliest, the most prominent and the most popular. .And though this means much for the former two, it means more for the latter two. To be the most handsome of our class, much more of the whole student body, means fame already for that fortunate one. And we all feel complimented to hear that if those two stand for the extremes we are all nearly equally handsome, such a little difference, says the ugliest, between him and his opposite. Having already reached these heights, what may be our future? We have much to encourage us. So much to do, and such a little done, We lea|i for joy that life has just begun. We arc as re-set trees, which are non ' beginning to take root in the new soil. Our withered leaves are turning green, toughened by the storms of college life, and we hojie soon, to begin to bear fruit to the glory of our .Alma Mater. What our future will be, remains for the Twentieth Century to show. Some ex- pect to plead law, some to jjractice medicine, some to preach, so:ne to teach, and some to enter a business life, while others expect to distinguish themselves a.s politicians, or scientists, or journalists or poets. In fact, everyone is launching his ship in his own preferred direction. Soon we will wave at one another our halloas of farewell, and sail alone, on our voyage of life.

' arolina 36 fl3i8tor of Junior Class T( ) write the history of the Junior t ' lass, to tell of its toils and struggles to reach Its ]iresent jilane of intellei tuality ! That were no easy task. Besides the present historian is not well skilled in the vivid portrayal of past events. He, too, with the rest of the cla.ss, is longing to reaih the beautiful road leading to Diploma. Kilt you want the history? Take it then. First. When we began to walk, or the genesis of the Newish. Don ' t gel it into your heads, my friends, that Newish are not born until they ome to eollege. If you do, you will make a reduetiv ad absurdmii. By genesis of the Newish we mean our bumfuzzling entrance into this new world of wisdom. It was in the summer of 1901 that Dr. Taylor called out far and wide : Let there be more students, more, still more! . nd there were more students — a varied and motley lot of us, From Peter Dick ' s Cross Roads, Jerusalem, Bear Swamp and Canaan we come. The parting from home was mingled with tears, rapturous kisses, good wishes and parental advice, all never to be forgotten. On reaching college, we were humiliated by the Oldishes ' gleeful cry: let there be Newish. , nd we were Newish — very fresh Newish, as we were told by the Seniors, Juniors and Sophs. That was, indeed, a hard and stormy year for us. Forced to march like sheep to the abominable Newish whistle, our witticisms and fine jokes derided, many were the perturbations of our mental equilibrium. The nights were filled with many gloomy and foreboding spectres. Why this should be, we did not know ; but we were continually haunted by the thought that The awful shadow of some unseen power Floats, though unseen, among us. Later, we were terrified to have the words blocking and Night Hawk Club whisjiered warningly in our ears. Many and lasting were the impressions made on us that year. Our victorious struggle with the Oldishes who attempted to |irevent us from meeting and organizing our class is a sacred item of our history. But we must hiirri,- on. Secondly. When we began to talk ; or, the age of the wise fool I In . ugust of 1902, we rolled again into Wake Forest. Our wings were now strong, and we were pre- ]iared to make the welkin ring with our sophonioric orisons on 37 Stately purposes, alor in battle, glorious annals of army and fleet. Death for the right cause, death fqr the wrong lause, trumjiets of ietorv, groans of defeat. The superabundance of praises for our vacation sjiceches had swelled our heads and increased our cerebral convolutions. But ignorance is bliss at times, and pro ed so then. But let the dead past bury its dead. The Freshman vear was behind us and we turned to new callings. Some of us increased om- e il propensities bv learning the black art and joining the Night Hawk Club, while others grew wiser under the charming recital of the Newish ' s old stale jokes. It is a time-honored custom that the Sophs shall spend much time .salting down the fresh Newish. You may rest assured we did that, too, notwithstanding the but tliat our hands were often i olluted and our morals corrupted. The Faculty raged, held meetings, blotted our white pages of life, and in a fatherlv wav said: Not this way will you set your name . star among the stars. It almost broke our hearts to .see that glorious year close. We had concjuered the Faculty, won the respect of the Juniors and Seniors, and bidden farewell to man ' tough studies. But time keepeth not always the same channel. Nor is he the wisest man who ne er proved himself a fool. Thirdly. The sih er age ; or betwi. t and between. And it came to pa.ss in the fall of 1903, that we were again at Wake Forest. How quickly time has passed. Away back yonder we see dimly Jr. Latin, Jr. (Ireek, Trig, and Analytics — examina- tions all stood : We have shaken off the many Freshman and Sophomoric delusions and follies, and are now basking in the warmth of an en iable sphere between the great Slough of Despond behind us and the dreaded Bridge of Sighs ahead. This new station has not been reached by a single bound, but by never-tiring diligence and cease- less perseverance. The toil was severe, but our reward is great. We have acquired the cherished prudence of restraint and the intuitive decision of a bright and thorough- edged intellect — a courage to endure and obey. Carpe diem nil morlalihiis aniin est we exclaim, and seize the golden opportunities as the world whirls on. Alasl our ranks have thinned. The fittest have survived, while sixteen of our old stand-bys have succumbed, some to the alluring charms of femininity, .some to the love for Weary Williedom, others to the plea.sant reijuests of the F ' aculty to stay at home. F ' arewell, boys! I often think of )0U as Souls that ha e toiled, and wrought, and thought with me . This has been a )ear of great inspiration for us. Honors have fallen to us in the ball lield, in the . M. C. . .. in Fame ' s eternal i amping ground of oratory, and in 38 literary work, W-moii ami Klcti_hcr interested a large audience last anniversary, one of our class is winning laurels in the glee club, another is becoming a i)rofessional twirler of the ball, and all are striving toward our marks of high calling. Only one more year before us ! We stand now next in rank to the honored and dignified Seniors. The Faculty has at last acquired a tenacious liking for us, and we are hai)py. And we are to have a class pin, a beautiful gold pin — so it was determined at our last meeting. But what of our personnel ? iHin ' t (juestion us too far. Let ' s see. There ' s Mangum, who lets his rosy fingers [ilay about his sweetheart ' s neck and knows nothing beyond his baby eyes. In passing, let it be known that he is humorous. Then there is magniloquent Fletcher, whose thoughts of fame are winged with flame and headed with viewless arrows of palaveration. Prof. Sledd ' s pet, rah I In passing, let it be known that he can write, too. . h ! Siggie, Siggie, we now come to thee — don ' t get breezy, wheezy, or squeezy, or i orroding time will seal thy marital bliss. In passing, let it be known that .Siggie has a temper. Last comes . ustin. Oh, that melodious voice 1 Come sinners, come, he cries, and we wipe our weeping eyes. In passing, let it be known that Bro. .Austin has been inspired by the zodiacal light. Dear reader, don ' t worry about the rest of us. We are gentlemen comme i au . What of our future? Ah, yes 1 We have crossed the two great bridges of Fresh- man and .So|ihomore, and are now contending with a modern Horatius on the silver bridge of Juniordom. What the golden age aheail holds for us, we fear to say. 1-ogic strikes terror to our hearts. The Seniors say it is liaiii ; - las for us 1 We are flooded with bright aims, hopes and aspirations. We patiently await the crowning year of our college life and long to be Seniors. Is the goal so far away? Far, how far, no tongue can say, Let us dream our dream to-dav Sophoniovc Class ©fficcrs RRHARl) LKON RKNDRRK.

Many of lis came fresh from the High School expecting to be the centre of attraction or looked upon as men endowed h ith much wisdom, but alas 1 how our feathers fell when we found that we were nothing but insignificant Newish, com- pelled to endure the thousand natural shocks Newish are heir to, to submit to the most inhuman and I rucl jokes, and, above all, to keep step to that well known Newish whistle. U ' e were told to be humble and immediately began to read David Copperfield to get lessons from Iriah Heep. but despite ourselves we would try to rise above our sta- tion and then would 1 omc the dreadful ta.sk of washing the ]iolish off. For nine long months the .Sophs gave us instructions in the way we were ' to bring up the Newish when we should inherit the honorable title of Sophomores. Then we were released from bondage and allowed a three months ' vacation in which to rid ourselves of all Newish habits and formulate our plans for 1903-IQ04. ' acation soon passed and we foimd ourselves again at Wake Forest readv to enter upon our career as .Sophomores. Our first duty was to keep guard over the Newish until they should become accli- mated. We expected to have a hard time with them, but were disappointed. The Faculty made few protests and the Newish were as meek as lambs and harmless as doves. We polished them until they got used to that, then we hit upon another scheme. They needed to be seasoned, ( they were so green ) so we tried holding them over smoking piles of leaves. This worked like a charm. They at once became quiet and have fur- nished us very little trouble since. The Sophs last year thought they had an excel- lent corps of Night Hawks but John Mitchell, Dr. lAicas, Ted Shaw and Big Cox can ' t lie beat when it comes to smuttin ' Newish. The Newish conquei ' ed, our minds naturally turned to something higher as they couldn ' t turn to anything lower, and many of us have become famous. did Wood, Ceorge Goodwyn, Ray Smith and Dick Kendrick decided to devote a part of their time to their text-books, hoping to get a leg on the Faculty, but failing in this, they joined Dr. Lucas in the Boring Club. ' Twas not long before their friends learned to say : 46 Again I hear that ireaking step ; He ' s knocking at the door; Too well I know the boding sound That ushers in a bore. I do not tremble when I meet ' I ' he stoutest of my foes, But Heaven defend me from the friend Who lonies -but never goes. Often we read the entire jioem to our visitors, expecting them to take a hint, hut away they would go cussin ' bores, but they never went. But how glad are we that all did not take this road to prominence! Red Spence and Mort Forrest are noted for their jiatriotism. When they walk together, with their heads bare, • ' ( )ld-gold-and-black-is-ever- waving high. Jo I ' atlon tried writing poetry, but he found that would take too muc h brain work, .so he sought fame by catching diseases and dealing them free to his friends. He began with measles, which afflicted several Newish (signs of bad company), continued with mumps, which did its work well, followed with tonsilitus, and King, our prophet, pre- dicts that he will end with small pox. .As for orators, Parker, Patton and Sjieas are great. They expound lofty motives and aims With .sentences long . nd arguments strong , nd the most unpronouncable names, But, however lofty and true they may aim, they can ' t touch McCarter with his delivery, which, at times, is very volcanic. We have also won fame by our musi(al talent. Hubert Poteat, the leader of the (llee Club, is an all-round musicianer. When he makes an attack on a ])iano we are reminded of How Ruby Played. King, Powers and McDaniel su|iply the Glee Club with other necessary thunder, while Leonard, Baldwin and Trammell also play a conspicuous part in the Glee Club and Orchestra. Josey is the mathematician of the class. He has learned Napier ' s rule of thumb, and is now speeding his way through Analytics — on a pony. Among our boys from South Carolina Kendrick, our President, figures prominently. He is South Carolina ' s strong man. Jackson, the speaker, is continually spouting what used to be called oratory, but is now termed bor(e)atory. l.ide, the lawyer, is Prof. Gulley ' s rival when it comes to law (?), and Matthews, the barber, is a typical South Carolinian. He always tries to use .something sharp. When we opened our stocking on Christmas morning it looked rather lank, and we feared that Santa Claus had forgotten his duty in regard to our class. But jiresently we heard a series of unmistakable s(|ualls, and on examining the toe carefully, we found 47 t ' hristmas (lift, ' rramiiicll. At first we were awfully i:liha|i| oiiited, Init our Christmas gift immediately began to make u]j in (|uality what he lacked in i|uantity, and has suc- ceeded in being elected the freshest man in college, so we guess Santa Clans did the best he ( ould. Without tloubt. e are the most remarkable Sophomore Class that e er sanctioned ha ing. W ' c do not go to c tremes. l!y the exhortation of Mc ( ' arter, we go strictly by the constitution, and do not allow a Newish to lie blai ked o er four times a week. How much time shall be spent in studying is made optional. I ' he limit is generally about twenty minutes, as our [jonies are thoroughbreds. The only objection we ha e to ponies is that it is a great strain on the eyes to look at tv o books at the same time. Dr. l.ucas, ])00r fellow, is about to go blind. We reconnncnd that the class buy him an interlinear. We have had much pleasure this car and ha e done honor to this institutiou, and next year we shall come back determined to c c el the present huiior Class. We ha e material which foretells greatness, and «e c peit to ai ( oniplish great things. . ll we ask you to do is to keep your e es open, for there ' ll l.ie something doing in The Class of 1906.

We are the best crop of Newishes ever raised in these regions. This class is the guardian angel of the institution, and has taken the Faculty under its protection. We like the place fairly well, and if it don ' t get any worse we may come back next year. The Oldishes are awful this year. They are up to all sorts of meanness. One time they toted all the (hairs off, so we couldn ' t stand examinations. Another time they broke up the chapel piano, and again they painted all over the outside of the buildings. But their chief meanness is their way of treating us. They whistle us and call us Newish, and actually ])ut Shoe-polish on our faces. We couldn ' t endure it if they were ordinary fellows, luit they don ' t know any better. We have a poor .set of Oldishes this year. They can ' t perform their Sophomorical duties like they had ought to. No Newish could keep step to their whistling. They can ' t black a fellow properly. One night they caught a Newish and started to shine his countenance, and they got the polish all in his mouth and hair. They ain ' t got much respect for a Newish nohow. When we were having our pictures taken, they threw water on us from the windows of the dormitory. Fellows who don ' t know any better than this ain ' t quite ordinary. Sol Ray is the poorest Oldish in college. He needs a nurse, and this class has decided to hire one for him. Big Newton is entirely too fresh. One day he actually cussed at a Newish who hollered at him. The poor Newish was scared pretty nigh to death. If Newton don ' t reform he will have to be blacked. I feel sorry for such poor mortals, so I w-arn him not to come back next year. The Freshman class has always been a very imitative one, and the Naughty -sevens are no exception to the rule. When we saw the other classes meeting and electing officers, we decided to do the .same. We thought it would be fine to meet in secret, so one night we met in a cornfield. The officers were elected, and we thought we had done a swell thing, but the editors of ' I ' he Howi.er would not recognize our meeting. We had to meet again like ordinary ]jcople, in the Society Hall. The old boys tried to stop us with snowballs, but we got up there safely. Long-legged Edmonds was elected President, and pretty little Ferrell Vice-President. John Ivey Smith was made Prophet. In the first meeting Rammy was elected Prophet, and his prophecy was that everyone of us would get blacked for our trouble. John Ivey hasn ' t given out his prophecy yet. When we had adjourned we found that the doors were locked and the Oldishes were waiting outside for us. Then the Newishes went wild. 57 John Ivey Smith and Hill led the attack, and two doors went down before them. The Uldishes saw that it was useless to try to stop us, and did not try. We have lots of celebrities in our class. Jesse Ciardner is the most studious student in college. Anyhow, he got the vote for it, although he is always complainiug of the time that he is wasting. Medlin, the lawyer of the cla.ss, has a leg on Prof. Oully. He got blai ked nine times. Rammy is an ideal Newish. He got blacked three times in one night. We have a fellow here named Bazermore, but I can ' t learn where he hails from. Little Preach Hardaway has everybody skunt on hard studying. I fear he will lie summoned before the Faculty some day for studying too hard. One Newish, last fall, went snipe-hunting. I don ' t know whether he caught any or not, but several times he advertised that he would serve snipes on toast at his room. Our Christmas gifts are of great variety. Little Jenkins and Trouble are the best sam- ples. Little Jenkins is running for Commencement Third Marshal. He has the support of the class in his race. Trouble is the freshest Newish in college, but there are others who will push him close for the distinction. ( )ne Newi.sh ( I couldn ' t learn his name ) was discussing Milton for Professor Sledd, and quoted the following: Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me. May there be no mourning of the bar When I put out to sea. He ought to have been elected poet of the class. Ching Ling, the Chinaman, must be mentioned. He came from Shanghai or Hong Kong, or some place like that. Lewis Powell is the sporting man of the class. . 11 the girls love him and want to kiss him. It is a wonder that he is single still. Ben Covington is a close second to Lewis. Jim Turner has made short-stop on the ball team, and Tennessee Wray is legging for mascot. Spense Wheeler is his dangerous rival. I hope both will get it. We have lots of others, but 1 only have time to mention Dr. Husketh, the one who asks so man y questions and tries to stump the jirofessor. This class means to do great things in the years to come. So far, we have been fairly successful, and have still to be told what we can ' t do. A class co;iiposed of such members as the above mentioned can ho]je to accomplish wonders. We intend to jjer- form our Sophomorical duties in a more credital)le manner than this year ' s crop of Sophomores did. We will ])ass .safely the stage of Juniordom, which is the stage in which the unlucky ones wither on examinations. In our last year, we will be what a senior class ought to be, — a model for future generations and a credit to our . lma Mater. HisroKi. N. At our last meeting we elected Elky Delky Pearce Patron Saint; Carrie Nation, Matron, and Boots was chosen to fill the honorable office of Mascot to the Freshman Class of 1903. 58 Dr. Bull jftoo ' 8 Stnoin ' Scbulc Dey once wuz er meetin ' in de swampy bog, Uv every kind er beas ' , fum dc turkle ter de frog.

Wake I- ' orcst O 1 her accustuiiied high-water mark in athletics. If E S the cai;se of this fallinj.; so far l elo mir usual s. not have to search lonj;-. lUu this year things have taken on a new appearance. Everylwdv is full of enthusiasm and college sjjirit runs hish. The .Association is working- hard to put forth a team that will win, and in winning will thereby reflect honor upon the college. .-Mthough the team is managed by the . ssociation, every man in college should remember that the base ball team is a part of the student- body ; that it represents them, aiicl is looking towards them for support and encouragement. At so early a date it is hardly ])ossible to say willi aii - degree of certainty what this year will mean to us as to our place in the .Vthletic World. We cannot in fairness judge the coming year by the past, because an awakened interest and increaseil activity in athletic circles has suddenlv taken possession of the college. Whetlier this interest and college spirit is spasmodic or permanent we cannot tell. Heretofore a false idea of what college spirit meant has been too jjrevalent among us. True college spirit is not a hidden love or any fond attachment that a student may have formed for his college, liut it is an expressed appreciation, showing itself in a hearty support of any organization promulgated by and representative of the whole student-body. The bane of our college life has been the abundance among us of that species of men who shout themselves hoarse when our debaters win a point in a forensic contest or a player makes a good play in a base ball game, and then, although our representatives do their best, quietly turns his back and walks awav. with no cheering word of encouragement, should our men be defeated. That man exliil)its the best college S])irit who stands liy the rej resentatives of his colle.ge, althou.gh defeat overtake them. The college-spirited man is ever ready to place a wreath of honor uiion the brow of the athletic victor, and the proudest and hajipiest moment of a Ijoy ' s life is when, having been the means cf his team ' s winning in an athletic contest, he is borne from the field upon the shoulders of his friends. Critics and cranks may tell us that base ball is dangerous and foot ball brutal, but speak- ing for ourselves as well as for those who are to come after us, we would much lirefer a few dislocated collar-lxjues ami an occasional broken limb than to liave the body dwarfed and the iiiiiul, as a natural sei|uence, hedged about l) insurmountable barriers of ])hysical weakness. ( ' ii e us more tennis tourna- ments, a good track team, a winning base ball team and fool 1 ;l11 by all means, (live us whatever will lend lo keep the nii ' iUal and physical powers in eijuilibrium. io6 Base Ball Ucam RilHKKT Cj.

XTbc Senior Class S10ME tilings happen once, sonic happen twice, ami some three times, but vc are undonbtedly safe in saying that snch a game of base ball |p as was played March 12, 1904, between the Facnlty and the Senior J Class of Wake Forest College will not, nor cannot, be repeated. For the sake of the fnture generations of Faculties and Seniors we would like to chronicle the happening of such an event. But how shall we begin? How shall we compare that game to any other game of base ball, or how shall we lift the human imagination to such a height as to enable those who were so unfortunate as not to see the game to gather even the slightest conception of what it was like? If we could set forth great things by means of small things we would say that it was as if the Macedonian Phalan.x had encountered the Tenth Legion of Rome, or that the Duke of Wellington was charging once more against the ( Md Cnard of Xapoleon. The line-up of the opposing teams was as follows : l- ' acultv. Seniors. Dr. Pascal Pitcher Whistnant Dr. Cooke Catcher Marsh Dr. Brewer First Base Ray Prof. Lake Second Base Ward Dr. Rankin Third Base Bland Prof. Howard Shortstop Foote Prof. Poteat Right Field Vernon. H. Dr. Lynch Center Field Weaver Dr. Sykes Left Field Parhani From thei moment the umpire said Play ball until the last man was struck out in the ninth inning, interest in the game did not Hag. Things started ofif with a hop, skip and jump. Tlie F ' aculty won the toss and took the bat. Dr. Pascal was the first man up. He seized the bat with botli hands, letting go with one hand long enough to curl his mustache. Then, as usual, there followed a dreadful interval of unspeakable silence. Whistnant, who was doing the twirling act for the Seniors, shoved the ball squarely across the plate. But I3r. Pascal let that one pass unmolested on its way. It was not the kin l for which he was looking. The umpire called Strike one. .A.gain the ball was seen to leave the pitcher ' s hand and start towards the home-plate, but it did not get there. Dr. Pascal stepped forward, met it on its way, and swatted it such a blow that all the earth trembled and rocked. The noise of the concussion was as if two planets, rushing toward each other, had met in high heaven. On and on flew the ball, meteor-like, through the air, over the left fielder ' s head. and in the meantime Dr. Pascal gained first base. Dr. Cooke, the next man up, lined one out in right field, gained first, and as nobody interfered with him, he came safely into port. Then followed l)rs. I ' rewer, Rankin and Prof. Lake, all of whom struck the l)all but failed to make safe hits. And the side was retired. 3 And !io v we were to see some pla ins; I Dr. Pascal was in the box, while Dr. Cooke donned the catcher ' s mit. throwing aside the mask and breast protector, saying they were only used to displax ' . but which he soon afterwards found were sometimes indispensable, as the first ball across the plate caught him in the place where the l)reast protector ought to have been. Holding down the first base was Dr. I ' rewer. wlm gave the spectators the impression that the ball had no chemical affinity for his mit. . nd on second was Prof. Lake, concerning whom it was the consensus of opinion that he and the ball were similarly electrified, as proved by the first law of attraction. . nd on third base was Dr. Rankin, his face wreathed in smiles like a country girl experiencing her first day at the fair: and Howard, looking as if he were preparing to perform one of the labors of Hercules, was on shortstop. But out in the field was where the jihenomenal p!a s were made. In the right field was Prof. Poteat. frantically waving his pseupodia in the air whenever the ball hapjiened to come towards him. .And in the center was Dr. Lynch, towering above them all like some tall clift ' lifting its head up to the stars. . nd in the left field was Dr. Svkes, who entered the game with the same high hopes as did Mc- Dowell at the battle of Pull Run— and, also like .McDowell, he soon had to retire from the contest. Pint a Senior was at the bat and the game was on. The first three Seniors u]), W ' histnant. Marsh and Ray, scored: and then Dr. I ' ascal gut ilnwn to business and retired the next three in owe. two, three order. And again the Faculty was at the bat. Howard, fir.sl man up, caught the-ball behind the ear and away it went, remaining suspended amid space long enough to enable him to gain third base. Prof. Poteat followed him. The first ball across the plate came a little too near his person, and he instinctively and inicon- sciously acted in the same manner as his old friend. Dick . moeba. was accustomed to do. lUit he took a fresh grip on the bat. swung back and caught the next one fair, landing it safe in right fielrl. It took the crowd some few seconds to realize what had happened, and then all heaven resounded w ith the terrible shouts, and the wooded hills round alx ut gave back the echo. Howard came home and Prof. Poteat gained second. .And next up came Dr. Lynch. . nd what a hit he made, and what base-running I In the olden days of the ( )!ympian games. Coroebus brought off the prize for the fleetest runner of all Greece, but the dash that Dr. Lynch made for fir.st base would ha e made the running of Coroebus pale into insignificance. - s the game progressed the spectacular ])laying at times ap| roached the .sub- lime. Hut there must be an end to all eartlily things, and so the game closed. .Seniors. 27. Faculty. 17. Xever since the time when the andals sacked Rome and humbled the pride of the haughtiest race the vorId has ever seen, was a people so humiliated as was the ' enerable Faculty when they were overcome by the Lordly Seniors. But be it said to their memory, nevertheless, that they died game. Ueniiis Club President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer T. M. BiZZELL S. F. Caldwri.l K. V. COOKK K. V, Cr)ViN,;T.iN- n. A.

Well, I suppose I am allowed to go by my lonesome. He sauntered down the broad driveway wh ich led to the country home, his broad shoulders disappearing in a cloud of tobacco smoke m the direc- tion nf the boat-house. In his hand he carried a vohime of verse, and alter arrivin.. at his destination, decided to read a little before pulling the placid lake. Tlie house-partv which Mrs. Dr. ( iwvnn had planned, and which her dotmg husbaiul had attempted to carrv out, liad proven a dismal failure, f.)r t!ie uucsts had declined on |.retexts of other engagements, with the exception ot her niece.

Kach dav was taken up with golf, tennis, boating, horseback riding, and the kindly attention of Mr and Mrs. Gwvnn had made them wish that the summer would not end. So interested had Lvonel (irav become in the contents of his book that he failed to notice that a shadow had approached and was now standing over him, swinging a tennis racket dangerously near his head. Presentlv the shadow volunteered to speak. Well, are you going to sit there forever, bent over that old book.- ' Lvonel raised his head. What will vour Highness Indefiniteiiess have. •■just at this particular moment Her Highness would have the gentleman cease reading and talk to her. .,, At your service, said that gentleman. ■■Shall we lilay teums f looking at the swinging racket.

He tnok rp the oars. ■■Whither : ■■( )h. I don ' t know. 139 Tlicv allowed the boat to drift aimlessly awhile, and then pulled up to the bank at the farther side of the lake, when Lyonel proposed a tramp to the old mill-house across the field. The g-irl assented, and they strolled leisurely along, totally oblivions of their surroundings. Indefiniteness. I love you. Now. don ' t be silly. I was never more serious in my life. I do lov — The sentence was not finished, for immediatelv behind them appeared a large Jersey bull, tearing down upcin them, liellowing with rage, his nostrils expanded. They barely escaped h jumping aside, and Lyonel immediately began looking for a place of safety before the enraged bull had time to stop aufl turn upon the intruders. An oak held out a beckoning hand to them, and they ran for it, reaching it not a moment too soon, for the furious bull was upon them again. They clambered up and perched themselves upon the lowest branches, while the irate beast pawed the ground furiously at the base of the tree. The escapade was like that of two little children, and tliey laughed gleefully at the distempered beast, who shook his horns defiantly at them. ow, said Lyonel, we ' re in for it. His royal majesty seems inclined to wait for your Highness, as the beast kept tramping round and round the tree. Since we are quarantined, as it were, for awhile, I shall complete my sentence — I love you. The maiden at his side was silent. The sudden declaration and the narrow escape had sobered her beyond her wont. Do you really? ' she asked naively. ■ ' I do. deare.st, and now be definite for once, lo you love me? The sun was sinking behind the hills, and the shadows were creeping around the ancient tree in which they sat. Tlie bull, gradually forgetting his anger, and hearing the far-off tinkle of the herd as they returned to the shelter for the night, left the two refugees in peace. We must be going. Aunt Bettie will be distracted if we are late. They scrambled down from the tree and began the journey across the lake. It was dark now and the stars were out. The full moon rose over the treetops and looked gently flown upon them. The journey was made in silence, the man pulling at the oars, the woman lost in thought. . t last the boat grated on the sandy bank, and they began the homeward journey up the big, broad driveway, where in the distance the lights of the house twinkled. Neither spoke until they were nearly to the verandah. Then the woman touched gently the arm of her companion, and whispered softlv in his ear, I love you, dear. but before he could turn she was off like a frightened deer, and he was alone.

( ' I ' ' NTK was professcir nf Aslniiiniiiy at andc vater College, and, to trust the conclusion of his sluileuts and fellow-professors, had gone daft on the planet Mars. He helieved honestlv that it was the home of a highly civilized people, and said so every chance he had. Thirty summers had gone into the silent chanihers of the past since lie first ojiened his little blue eyes and smiled on the world. His eyes were still blue, but seldom now did his manlv, handsome lips bear even the suggestion of a smile. He was lost to the outside world, and saw nothing to make him smile. He was interested in . strc_inomy and n ilhing else, lie lived witliin liimself. . ' ot even the bewitching cajirices of cultured femininitv could draw liini out. He despised girls, though many a cap had been set for him. No wonder, then, he was surprised when the oBice boy met him on the camjins and handed him an ahrost indetertaljly scented letter, addressed in a liobl, yet delicate, hand. I intimated that he surjirised at the content feelings. It is impolite reading : Dr. Powell Cente: Dk. i Sik. — I have heard, since I come to the earth, that yon wert ii ' tere ted in the stud.y of my home, the planet Mars, I came down Thursday night in my airship. If you will call lo see me at once, before the wonderful beauties of your earth bewilder me, I think 1 can satisfy yen on m, ' iny ])oints that you are in doubt about. Hut before I clfise 1 mu.st tell you : you can not see me unless you ])romise to keep in absolute .secrecy our meet- ing. I have man} ' reasons for this : one ought to satisfy you. Your impudent re- porters will besiege nie so that 1 cannot make the observatiojis I came to make. Remember, if you see me, you promise on your word and honor.

His tie was faultlessly lieil. an l adorned with an unusual pin. His feet were encased in new patent- leather shoes, and his body was clothed in a broadcloth Prince . 11iert ; all an un- usual dress for him, but he felt that be was doing an unusual thing. Mrs. Swinburn met him, led him to the parlor, introduced him to Miss Yeats, end discreetly withdrew. His first thought was : .She is certainly large enough and pretty nou Ii to hr an inhabitant of Mars — she was six-feet-four, proportionately large, anil pretty too. ?vliss ' eals liroke in on his thoughts. Ur. Cente, 1 am afraid mui will think 1 dill wron-j; in writing von, but in my country it is not wrong for a young girl to do what 1 h.ive done, if she can belli some one b it. Well, er-cr — I — you did nut dci wrmis;. 1 am i,dad you wrote nif. Ignoring his embarrassment slie led him on. Now, Dr. Cente. do not hesitate to ask me about anythiii.u mhi %ant to know, for I believe we arc a long way ahead of you in civilization, and ou can learn many things from us. Now, for instance, take airships, ' ou never have made a successful one. Every summer you make one or two trials, hi tliis country, in hVance. and all over the world you are trying, when we have had them for years. They arc our most common mode of travel and conveyance. . utomobiles? Why 1 have one that has been handed down through uur family for four generations, as an heirloom: they re])laced horses years and years ago. You people down here look on Marconi as the greatest scientist of your times. W ' hv. yon are just coming along in our footsteps: we have had wireless telegraphy so long that you cannot find a telegraph wire in the whole country. I wish you couU! see the old files of onr ])apers containing the comments and pre- dictions of some of our scientists when it was first established. I could go on in this way imlefinitely. but it will only tire, and not in.struct you, so you go ahead and tell me some of the things you have observed with your great telescopes. Miss Yeats, I must confess your tale is wonderful, but T am not surprised in the lea.st. For a long time, T have believed you were a highly civilized people. Tt is conceded by all that vou have an atmos]ihere. and that you have vege- tation ; your satellites, too. and manv other phy.sical phenomena have attracted onr attention. The won lerful regularity of your waterways has interested and puzzled us for years : theory after theory has been advanced, but none are satisfactory. Ah! Dr. Cente. there you have struck our hobby. Indeed we have the most perfect system of irrigation in the whole universe. Your attempts at irrigation in the West are mere child ' s-play compared to ours. We have canals hundreds of miles long connecting our great lakes and water-basins. Your little thirty-mile canal down at Panama is raising a storm in your own country, and attracting the attention of the whole world, while in Mars it would attract no more attention than the farmer digging his flitch across the cornfiek ' in your country. Necessity has made us cultivate this art. We have no rains: the water we have flows down from our melting polar caps, and collects in these natural basins. We must have it for our farms and cities, the canals are the only system we can use to get it. But you nuist be a gigantic people to carry on such work. Yes, we are giants compared with your average man. I am the smallest member of our whole kingdom ; that is why I came. I can go among you without attracting so nn ' ch attention : thus I am able to study your laws and customs as a natural .Marisian could not do. To give you a better idea let n:c tell you a story my oh grandmother used to tell me : 143 It was a story of a very tiny man who came to our country, named Dean Swift. Our queen kept him a long time as a court curiosity. He would amuse the courtiers quite often by taking notes and telUng them he would write his people a story of our race some day. I have learned since that he diti actually write the story of his trip, calling us Brobdinogs. Of course the construction of our waterways necessitates an enormous amount of work, but our people are large, and they are aided by machines and contrivances that involve the principles of perfection itself, so that it is easv to construct them in a short time. Now, Dr. Cente, do not think me rude, but I fear I shall weary you with painting the glories of my country, and, too, I have an engagement to go to the .State farm to see your prisoners begin their work, at six o ' clock in the morning. For three hours Dr. Cente sat at the feet of Zelma Yeats lis tening to stories that had been his dreams for years. What she told him had been well planned. She was a gay, rollicking, mischievous college girl, and had gone t(3 ' andewater to spend part of her vacation witli her aunt, Mrs. Swinburn. She soon learned of Dr. Cente ' s fads, and together with her two cousins, Louise and Louie Swinburn, had planned the joke. So far it had worked all right, but could they carry it out? Yes! Yes! Dr. t ' ente, in answer to another invitation from Zelma, was coming again. This time, having exhausted her knowledge of astronomv, she wouUl not talk of her country, but tolil him she came to learn nf his. and expected him to tell her all he could. This seemed to appeal to his vanity, and he plunged in on the glories of his age, and the possibilities and probabilities of those to come. His tale seemed to be of the endless variety, had not his fair tIs a ' ' is from Mars reminded him that under no circumstances did Mrs. Swinburn knock off later than 1 1.30. The three girls were satisfied with their joke, and the next morning, Dr. Cente received this note : Dr. Cente, are you an absolute fool? Yours sincerely, Zi-;i., iA Ye. ts. Miss Yeats received this curt reply: ' o. May 1 see you tn-night? Yours sincerely, PoWKi.i, Crnte. E. A. TURNER. Zhc 1[3istov of Make dfovest Colleoe rST seventy years ago, in the spring of 1834, a correspondent on a living trip through North Carolina, wrote to a rehgious journal at the North a most gloomy letter about the physical as well as the moral aspects of the State. One thing, at least, he found that was hopeful : They have kindled, says he, a light in the Wake Forest Institute that I trust will soon shed its beams over the whole State. Even had he taken time for accurate observa- tion, he would have found the liaptists of the State neither so numerous as now nor so well organized for effective work. Among them, however, was a number of able preachers who would in nowise be abashed in the jiresence of their biethren of this later day. Of these might be mentioned William Hooper, Thomas Mere- dith, John Kerr, H. Trotman, James McDaniel, Patrick W. Dowd, Samuel Wait, Josiah Crudup, John Armstrong, and others. Like most of the older institutions of learning in this country, W ake Forest College had its origin in the piety and wise forethought which ainietl primarily to secure the education of the ministry. Before the year 1829 the Benevolent Society had been organized by prominent Baptists for the more effectual dis- semination of the gospel throughout the State. At its regular meeting held in Greenville, Pitt County, March 26-29, 1830, a resolution was passed dissolving the society and transferring its funds to the Baptist State Convention, which was thereupon immediately organized. One of the primary objects of this conven- tion, as stated in article second of its constitution, was the education of young men called of God to the ministry. To this work the convention thus com- mitted itself, but no active measures were taken respecting it until the next meet- ing, held at Cross Roads Church, Wake County, April 15-18, 1831. At that time the convention accepted the offer of Rev. John Arm.strong, of New Berne, to educate young preachers, and the board of managers were directed to send to him or to some school such young ministers as they should approve, and to defray the expense so far as the funds of the convention would allow. Such w ' as the original plan, and so far as appears, no one at that time thought of a college. Indeed, after the Institute had been determined upon and its plans published, nay, for several years after its opening, there was no little murmuring in some (|uarters that the constitution did not contemplate and gave no warrant for the establishment of a school to wdiich any but ministers should be admitted. But in order that these might be educated, a well-organized scliool was seen to be indis])ensal)le. Besides, systematic manual labor in garden or farm in connection with mental application was then held in high esteem. . number of institutions were organized on this plan, such as the ' irginia Baptist Seminary, Mercer Seminary, Georgia; Maine Wesleyan Seminarv ; (!)neida Institute, .New York: Cumberland College, and Pennsylvania Manual Labor Institute. It was, accordingly, deemed wise on account of lioth health and economy to provi le M5 those receiving instruction with means of manual lalior. Tlie ex])ense involved in this plan ccnilil not be met by the probable amount of theological patronage, especially since ministerial students were to be educated almost free of charge. Tt was deci le l, therefore, to open a general school to which would be admitted any young gentleman of good character, and the income of which was expected to pay nearly all the expenses, including those of ministerial students. At the meeting of the convention held at Reeves ' s .Meeting-House. Chatham County, August yy, 1832, this was definitely recommended by the conuiiittee on educa- tion, William Hooper, chairman, and the convention unanimously resolved, August 4, 1832, to purchase a suitable farm and to adopt other preliminary measures for the establishment of a Baptist literary institution in this State upon the mutual labor principle. Before the close of the month a committee appointed to carry the resolution into eflfect purchased for $2,000 Dr. Calvin Jones ' s farm of six hundred and fifteen acres, about sixteen miles north of Raleigh, the members of the committee themselves advancing the deficit of the subscriptions already secured. For many years before this important event the connnnnitv in which the farm lay had been known as Wake Forest, jjrobablv so named liecause its original growth of timber was .so fine as to win by pre-eminence the designation of the Forest of Wake (County) or Wake Forest. Accordingly, the board of managers at their meeting in Raleigh, September 25, 1832, resolved that the institution should be called The Wake Forest Institute. At that time it was hoped it might be opened in February following, but on December 15 the board at a meeting in Raleigh decided to postpone the beginning of operations to February, 1834. For the year 1833 t ' le farm was committed to the care of reliable men in the neighborhood. On lay to of that year Rev. Samuel Wait, A-.i I., a native of New York, and then general agent of the convention, was appointed principal of the Institute. He had come to North Carolina on an agency for Columbian College, Washington, several years before, and by peculiar providential circumstances had been led to make New Berne his home. The next year. May 3, by the board of trustees, he was elected president and Professor of Moral Philosophy and General Literature. He resigned November 26, 1844. The im]xirtance of his work for the institution is signalized bv the inscrip- tion on marble in the front of the Library Building; Rev. Samuel Wait, D.LJ., Founder and First President of Wake Forest College. A meager charter for the Institute was obtained from the Legislature of 1833-34. and that only by the liberal views and manliness of an alumnus of the L ' niversity of North Carolina, Mr. William D. Mosely, Speaker of the Senate, who gave the casting vote in its favor. Here was a crisis in its history, for no one can measure the depression which failure would have produced in the friends and supporters of the infant enterprise. On the first Monday of February, 1834, the exercises were opened yith about twenty-five students in attendance, which number was increased to seventy in August following. What did these first students find on reaching Wake Forest ? ( )n the spot where now stands tlie imposing C)ld Building, they found a small but comfortable frame dwelling. To the right, about where the Library stands, was the garden, both its site and 146 embellishment still marked by the everlasting jonquils just now venturing into the chill spring- air as they did in those olden days. From a window of the magnificent pulilic hall in the Wingate Memorial Building one may look directly down upon what was then the horse-lot. Near-by was the carriage house, sixteen feet by twenty-four, in which Air. Wait gathered his heterogeneous charge for lectures or morning prayers. For dormitories several good log cabins were principally relied on. The hoe and plow were not out of sight of the blackboard and desk, for it will be remembered manual labor on the farm was to begin the same day with mental labor among the books. The regulations of the manual labor department at first re(|uired of the students every day, except Saturdays, three hours labor in the fields ; the time, however, was decreased to one hour afterwards, and after about four years the system was abandoned altogether. In May after the opening in February, the trustees hcl l a meeting at the Institute, and took action looking to the better accommodation of the students already entered and provision for more who desired to enter. In December the plan of what is now known as the Old Building was submitted to the trustees by Mr. Ligon, and was adopted. Captain John Berry contracted to build it for $14,000 and have it ready for use by January, 1837. It was not completed, how- ever, until 1838. Its dimensions are one hundred and thirty-two by sixty-five, four stories high, having comfortable dormitories for about one hundred students. It was a bold, but as time showed, a fortunate undertaking. The im- mediate erection of the building was made possible by the devotion of the build- ing committee and others who pledged their personal estates to the cause. In spite of the prevailing indifference on the subject of education, in spite of active opposition, open and covert, starting with nothing but zeal and deep faith in the undertaking on the part of its promoters, its success was at once marvelous. In two and a half years there were one hundred and twenty students, and the $14,000 building was nearly completed. The charter was amended by the Legislature, December 26, 1838, Wake Forest Institute becoming Wake Forest College, with power to confer the usual college degrees. Its property was also relieved from taxation, the time of the charter was extended and the amount of property to be held was increased to $250,000. By the year 1848 the liabilities of the College were $20,000, the largest items of wdiich were $10,000 borrowed from the Literary Fund of the State, and the balance due on the building. Some thought of giving up and offering the whole thing for sale. Dr. Hooper, president of the College, resigned ; so did the presi- dent of the board of trustees. . ' Vt their annual meeting during Commencement the board adjourned with no plan or suggestion to meet its obligations, although Rev. James S. Purefoy had proposed to be one of twenty or of ten to assume the debt. He had always been a faithful and most liberal supporter of the College. At this time he saved it. The day after that gloomy Commencement Mr. Pure- fovr then residing at Forestville, one mile from Wake Forest, sent for Dr. Wait to confer with him about the trouble. The ne.xt day Mr. Purefoy subscribed $1,000 and Dr. Wait $500. Fired by these noble examples, the friends of the Col- lere living near in the next dav or two carried up the amount to $5,000. With this beginning and the active work of an agent during the year, the trustees in 147 June, 1849, were able to make arrangements for tlie complete lii|ui(lation of the debt on the College. The most notable administration in the history of the College was that of Dr. W. M. Wingate. not simply on account of its length, but because, as man - think, he conducted it through its supreme crisis, the suspension o n account of the Civil War. He was a native of Darlington, S. C. Graduating from Wake Forest College in 1S49, he was appointed its general agent in 1854. He was elected its president in June. 1856, which position he held with unusual success and honor till his death. February 27, 1879. In no year of his administration did he see the income of the College meet its expenses. True, on November 7th. 1856, a substantial movement for endowment was made at the meeting of the State Convention in Raleigh, when $25,000 were subscribed in one hour and the actual invested endowment reached the sum of $46,000 bv 1861 ; but just when that was becoming available, the great wreck came, out of which the emaciateil College emerged with about $14,000. Dr. Wingate lived long enough, however, to see the prophetic streaks of the near dawn. He had seen the Library Build- ing erected by the nninificence of two prominent Baptists of Raleigh, Colonel J. M. Heck and the late Mr. John C. Williams, costing in all about $11,000, and plans for what afterwards became the Wingate Memorial had been set on fool. The latter building, one hundred and two feet by si.xty, with a central projection in front of ten feet, containing on the first floor a small chapel and four superior recitation-rooms, and on the second the largest and best public hall in the . tate. was ready for use at the Commencement of 1880. Again in 1874 and 1875, Rev. Mr. Purefoy, by a successful agency in .siiine of the Northern cities, rescued the embarrassed and all but sinking institution. The $10,000 raised then made possible and gave the impetus towards its present endowment. Professor Charles E. Taylor, of the Chair of Latin, in November. 1882, undertook the raising of the $54,000 endowment to $100,000. His colleagues taught his classes while he was engaged in this great work. By his singular wisdom, candor, and straightforward business course, when eleven o ' clock on the night of December 31. 1883, came, the treasurer of the College had in hand, actually secured, an endowment of $100,000. Since that time the endowment has reached the sum of $209,459.10. The real estate, equipment and buildings of the College are estimated to he worth at least $100,000. A movement will soon be inaugurated to add largely to both endowment and equipment. The first class was graduated in 1839. There have been in all 845 full grad- uates. These have been distributed among almost all professions and callings. More than fifty have been editors of influential papers. A still larger number have been presidents of or ])rofessors in colleges. They have filled important pastor- ates in thirty States. . constantly increasing number have achieved success in law and politics. In New York and Philadelphia, as well as in North Carolina, a number have made enviable reputations as surgeons and physicians. Several score have had and are having prosperous careers as bankers and merchants. 148 -AdVertiseii epts i Commencement Invitations and Class Day Programs CC ffM CAMPLES FOR THIS X  ' f 100 Weriding Inoitatiiins. f ngi ■ AfOlV n ADY -C ur own Photograph Callt ' rt Half T nc Fnijraning IIOS Chestnut Street, Philadelpia COMPARE, SAMPLES AND PRICES S IPalic fioxcsi Collcgie ■ 5oroiiti(=firi.f bession Will V c ui KiftcL-n lncle|ien(ieiit Schools, oniliraciiii;- Siience I-angiiaj;f, Matht-matits, Philosophy, Bible, Law, Medicine, Pedat, ' Ofrv, Kli . :: :: :: ;: :: :: :: For C talogues and Special Information, Address President Tgiylnr.
