The first state legislation with reference to the institution now known as the Xkfashington Agricultural College and School of Science, was the act approved March 28, 1890. ' Section I of this act provided for the establishment of a commis- sion to he known as the Commission of Technical lnstructionf' After reciting the fact of the appropriation by Congress of 90,- 000 acres of land for the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, and 100,000 acres for a scientific school Ccorrespo-nding to the School of Mines of other statesj, section IV of this act provides for the establishment of an educational institution by the name of the Xflfashington Agricultural College and School of Science. The inter- ests of the college thus established were intrusted to the Commis- sion of Technical Instruction by section Vll, which reads as fol- lows: 1 The commission is authorized to appoint a secretary and such professors, demonstrators, instructors. officers or other employes as 15 may be deemed necessary by it, to determine their duties, respon- sibilities, compensation and tenure of office, and to remove from office for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office, any person appointed by it to any office whatsoever, but all appoint- ments shall be made without regard to political opinion or religious belief. The purpose in View in creating the college. as vvell as its in- tended scope, is clearly set forth in section 8. which reads as follows: The said commission shall make provisions that all instruction given in the college shall to the utmost practicable extent be con- veyed by means of practical work in the laboratory. Said commis- sion shall provide in connection with said college the following laboratories: Une physical laboratory or more, one chemical labor- atory or more, and one biological laboratory or more, and suitably furnish and equip the same. Said commission shall provide that all I6 male students shall be trained in military tactics. Said commission shall provide instruction in the following subjects: First, physics, with special application of its principles to agriculture, second, chemistry, with special application of its principles to agriculture, third, morphology and physiology of plants, with a special reference to the commonly grown crops and their fungus and enemies, fourth, morphology and physiology of the lower forms of animal life, with special reference to insect pestsg fifth, morphology and physiology of the higher forms of animal life and in particular the horse, cow, sheep and swineg sixth, agriculture, with special reference to the breeding and feeding of live stock and the best modes of cultivation of farm produce: seventh, mining and metallurgy. Section IV of this act also provides as follows: Said commis- sion shall locate the said college unless its location has been other- wise selected in accordance with law, previous tot the first day of june, 1890 It is not clear from the information now at hand whether or not the Commission of Technical lnstructionu above mentioned was ever appointed. There was, however, a commission consisting of Hon. Tom Smith of Colfax, Hon. Ed. Wfinson of North Yakima, and Hon. G. Ferguson of Snohomish. which was empowered to select a location for the college. This commission does not seem to have had the powers designated by law, as belonging to the Com- mission of Technical Instruction. At any rate the college was not located, and thercommission above named was obliged to report to the legislature their failure to agree upon a site. The legislature of 1891 substituted a new act, which included section Vlll of the original act relative to the purpose and scope of the college and providing for the location and maintenance of the figricultural College, Experiment Station and School of Science of the State of Wlashington, and dehning more fully its functions. This new act was approved March Sl, 1591. Among the provisions of this act we find the following: ' Section l. providing for the establishment of the College Ex- periment Station and School of Science. Section lll, by which the 2 I7 ADMINISTRATION BUILDING. Commission of Technical Instruction, provided for under the pre- vious act, was superseded by a board of five regents, to whom the management of the institution was intrusted. Section V, providing for the appointment of a commission of three for the selection of a location for the college and stipulating: First, that none of the com- missioners should be from east of the Cascade mountainsg Second, that the college should be located on or before july 1, 1891, in some county east of the Cascade mountains, and third, that the college should not be located in any county already having a state institu- tion. Sections X and Xl, accepting the land grants of Congress, whereby the college became the benehciary of the 90,000 acres of land for the endowment ofthe Agricultural College, and the 100,000 acres for the endowment of the School of Science. Section IH of this act also reaffirms the intended scope of instruction in the fol- lowing words: The course of instruction of the Agricultural Col- lege and School of Science shall embrace the English language, literature, mathematics, philosophy, civil and mechanical engineering, chemistry, animal and vegetable anatomy and physiology. the veterinary art, entomology, geology, and politi- cal, rural and household economy, horticulture, moral philosophy, history, mechanics, and such other sciences and courses of instruc- tion as shall be prescribed by the regents of this institution of learn- ing. It might be remarked in this connection that the functions of the college and its curriculum are further delined and prescribed by the statutes of the United States. 1 The location commission provided for above consisted of Gov- ernor Black of Everett, A. H. Smith of Tacoma, and S. B. Conover of Port Townsend. The iirst meeting of the Board of Regents was called to order at Olympia by Lieutenant Governor Charles E. Laughton, on April 22, 154511. Governor Laughton, announced that he had ap- proved the bonds and received the oath of office of the following named regents. viz.: Eugene Fellowes, Spokaneg George XV. 19 F , .V , 'wi' '4 x. -'., uf., git z V x , V - XZVZW. v-1vw:f- ff- .V X553 1: ..-NE-ELWJ -- 421222- g:::,.55.i., ,. 1? .N .

Smith, Ta- coma, I. H. Bellinger, Colfax. ' B This board effected an organization by the election of S. B. Conover, president, A. H. Smith, treasurer, and Samuel Vinson, clerk. Governor Laughton officially announced to the board that he had received no report from the commission appointed to locate the college. The next meeting was held at Tacoma May 1, 1891. At this meeting Regents Smith and Conover Qwho were members of the locating commissionj, announced that the commission had made the location at Pullman, VVhitman County. That Pullman was favored by receiving this great gift of the state was largely due to the persistent work and efforts of Dr. VVebb, E. H. Letterman, and Thos. Neill. At the meeting abo-ve mentioned, on May 1, Prof. Geo. Lilley was elected president of the college and director of the Experiment Station. The third meeting of the Board of Regents was held in Pull- man May 22, 1891. At this meeting the secretary and treasurer were authorized to enter into a contract for the co-nstructio-n of a brick building at a cost not to exceed 391500. But before the meet- ing had adjourned a restraining order was served upon the board. For some months afterward restraining orders, injunctions, quo warranto proceedings, suits in equity, etc., were quite the order of the day. The legal questions involved were, however, finally settled satisfactorily tothe people of Pullman. The injunction suit which was begunin the Superior Court of Pierce County, with the object of preventing the location of the college at Pullman, was, after a hearing, dismissed by, the Supreme Court in August, 1891. ln De- cember of the same year the plans of Mr. Prusse for a college build- ing, and also for a dormitory. were adopted, and the president was authorized to advertise for bids for the construction of the basement of the main building and for the erection and completion of the dor- mitory. At this same meeting. which was held on December 1. President Lilley was authorized to open the college january 13. 18921 also to purchase furniture and apparatus for the building 2I , kr. -M W'--rw.---.-W-A-X.-1 - X X . 4 , x N - V , ,. -1-iw: 1' ., , , A , 'W K ,, ,,., x MQ .. f ' f x?-'lx' , M wQq,.-Il.i.i - - .4 :5Z5?5,3:v,:, W H' Y jriifxf YYVY , Qi L 'f1'I4T '?

The following chairs were created and established: Agriculture, horticulture, fo-restry and botany, Veterin- ary science, chemistry, mathematics, physics, English language and literature. ' - These chairs were filled as follows: john G'B. Scoibey, pro- fessor of agricultureg E. R. Lake, professor of horticulture, forestry and botanyg Charles E. Munn, professor of veterinary scienceg George G. Hitchcock, professor of chemistryg Nancy L. Van Doren, professor of English language and literature. The college was opened as planned, on January 13, 1892, in the little brick building now lcnown as the crib On February 10, 154512, President Lilley reported to the board then in session a total enrollment at that date of fifty-nine students. At the same meeting the,contract was let for the erection of the boys' dormitory, after- ward known as Ferry Hall. The building was constructed during the following summer and fall, The courses of instruction recommended by President Lilley, comprising courses in agriculture, mechanic arts, do-mestic science and pharmacy Cthese courses were printed in full in the announces ment issued prior to the first cataloguej were formally adopted by the board February 151. 1892. To these courses were added by action of the bo-ard on july 20 of the same year, the following: Chemistry, mining engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engi- neering, electrical engineering and assaying. The requirements for admission to the Freshmen class, as laid down in the lirst annual catalogue, demanded that the applicant must be not less than Fifteen years of age, of good character, of in- dustrious habits, and must be able to pass a satisfactory examination in reading, spelling, penmanship, arithmetic, grammar, geography and United States history. A knowledge of elementary algebra is suggested as desirable, although this subject was one of those re- quired in the first term of the Freshman year. The College Record was established some time prior to March 10, 1892. i Ou May 16 a meeting of the board was held, at which a contract was let for the building of College Hall. At the same meeting, in 23 CREAMERY order to provide for certain courses of instruction, Professor Hitch- cock was made associate professor of physics, as well as professor of chemistry. Por the same purpose Professor Munn was made pro- fessor of physiology and Zoology, as well as professor of veterinary science. . The water reservoir and farm house were constructed during the summer of 1892. At a meeting of the board, held November 16, C. V. Piper, Ernest L. Newell, E. V. Claypool and james Ferguson were elected members of the faculty. During the fall term of 1892 some trouble arose between the Board of Regents and the President of the college, which culmin- ated in the removal of the latter and the election of john W. Heston to the presidency on December 13, 1892, at a meeting held in North Yakima. Apparently, as a consequence of this action of the board, the resignation of Professor Hitchcock was presented and accepted on December 19. During the same month Professor Scobey severed his connection with the college. Un December 28 G. H. VVatt was elected professor of chemistry, and P. Hendricks professor of agriculture. On january 18, 1893, A. R. Saunders was elected instructor in mechanical engineering. The legislature of 1893, after an investigation into the general condition of the college, refused to co-nfirm the nomination of the then acting Board of Regents. After the close of the legislature Governor McGraw reorganized the Board of Regents by making the following appointments: Charles R. Conner, Spoikaneg T. R. Tannatt, Farmington, I. XV. Stearns, Teko-ag H. S. Blanford, VValla NVallag E. S. Ingraham, Seattle. ' The first meeting of this board was held pursuant to the call of the Governor on May 4, 1893. They organized as follows: Chas. R. Conner, president, T. R. Tannatt, vice president, J. W. Stearns, treasurer. On May 10 the following chairs were created and appointments made: A Agriculture, horticulture and forestry, E. R. Lake: mathemat- ics and civil engineering, to be hllcclg political economy, history and 25 - . WOODWORKING SHOP I moral philosophy, president of college: English language and liter- ature, Nancy L. Van Doren, Zoology and botany, C. V. Piper, chemistry, geology and mineralogy, to be filledg stenography and typewriting, james Fergusong principal of preparatory department, G. Halafatt. ' On the evening of the same day 0. L. Wfaller was elected to the chair of mathematics and civil engineering. and Elton Fulmer to the chair of chemistry. Un july 22 E. A. Bryan was elected to the presidency, to assume the duties of the office on September 1. President Heston and Professors Hendricks. Claypool, Newell and Munn retired from the faculty. The history of the institution, as it now exists, dates from the fall of 1893. The following facts and dates are interesting in this connection: August 22, 1893. contract let for mechanical engineering build- ing. September 30. 1893. co-ntract let for administration building. January 15, 18514, provision made for the employment of an assistant chemist. April 2, 1894, XN. Spillman elected professor o-f agriculture, and H. Balmer, professor of horticulture.

The requirements for entrance to the Freshmen year, as above mentionedi have been raised from time to time until now the standards of admission to the college proper are fully as high as those existing in the best colleges of the country. The instructional courses offered in the Erst catalogue comprised the following: Agriculture, mechanic arts, domestic science and pharmacy. For the past five years the departmental courses of instruction have been successfully carried out. By this method students carry some par- ticular line of work throughout the four collegiate years as a major -the full complement of work also including certain subjects re- quired of all candidates for graduation and a sufficient number of electives to, make a total of thirty courses for the four years. A considerable latitude is allowed in the matter of electives. Good satisfaction and excellent results have been attained by the pursu- ance of this plan. The institution now offers the following courses of instruction, each leading to a bacheloris degree: till Mathematics and Civil Engineering. CZD Chemistry. Q35 Botany. Qu-lj Zoology. Agriculture.

This association was formed on june 23, 1898, the charter mem- bers being eighteen in number, representing the classes oi 1897 and 1898. The class oi 197 consisted of seven members, and on account of its being the first class to graduate from this young institution, it was destined to receive more than ordinary adulation. The result of this was that the seniors of 1897 were deep-ly impressed with their own greatness, and were the objects of awe and reverence' to the lower classmen. The personnel of this noted class is here given: Orin Stratton was born near Elk Point, S. D., February 11, 1873. and moved to VVhitman County, XfV21SI'1l11glIO11, with his par- ents in 1877, where he resided until after his graduation from col- lege. I-Ie graduated as a civil engineer, and the next year took a course in mining engineering. During the war with Spain he passed the required examination and enlisted in the engineer corps of the United States Volunteers, and was immediately given a sergeancy. I-Ie is now located at I-Ionolulu with his company. Edward Kimel was born in VVinneld, I-Ienry County, Iowa, March 15, 1875, and came to W'aitsburg, NVashingto-n, with his par- ents in 1887. Two years later he graduated from the high school, and in three years more from the academy. I-Ie spent two years in postgraduate work at the academy, then entered college, taking his 43 - degree in economic science and history with high honors three years later. Upon his graduation he was elected professor of ancient lan- guages in the Wfaitsburg Academy, and nine months later enlisted as a volunteer in the war with Spain. In July, 1898, an examination was held for the purpose of securing second lieutenants for the regu- lar army of the United States. Mr. Kimel passed with the highest number of credits and was assigned to Battery L of the Third U. S. artillery. He has recently been promoted to a position on General Otis' staff. George Nixon was born near I-Iarrisburg. Oregon, in 1870, and like all the boys in this class, spent his early life on the farm. Alter four years in college he took the degree Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering and has been busily engaged at his profession ever since, traveling much of his time, setting up new plants in Ore- gon, Xafashingtoyn and Idaho. Emma Jane Hardwick began her career in Miami County, Kansas, in 1873. Wlieii sixteen years old she began teaching. Coming to W'ashingto-n in 1892, she taught school for a time, then entered college, taking her degree in botany tour years later. Since her graduation she has been doing efficient wo-rk in the public schools of Idaho. Jessie Eugenia Hungate was born in Wfalla Walla, Vlfashington. in 1875. Wfhen six years ol age her parents moved to Almota. and seven years later came to Pullman. VVhile a student in college she took second prize in the hrst intercollegiate contest held in the In- land Empire. She received the degree Bachelo-r of Letters. Since her graduation she has done some teaching, but most of her time has been spent in postgraduate work in language and music. Mary Corinne Johnson was born in Marshall County, Iowa. November 1, 1877. and came to Wfashington in 1888. She attended VVaitsburg Academy two years and acquitted herself very credit- ably. Entering college. she graduated in four years, taking the degree B. L. in English literature. Shortly after graduating she changed her name to Mrs. Wfni. Buckley, and is now taking a thor- ough course in household economy. 44 Carl Estby was born in Otter Tail County, Minn., August 22, 1869. VVhen quite young his parents moved west and Carl received his preliminary training in the Tacoma schools and the State Uni- versity. In 1893 he entered college in the department of civil engi- neering, from which he graduated four years later. After leaving college he refused several good positions in his own line, one being that of topographer for the N. P. R. R., preferring the quiet and retirement of a good farm and dairy in the beautiful Puget Sound vallev. The remaining eleven members of this association belong to the second class, which graduated from the YN. A. C. and S. of S. The '98s, like the '9Ts, had some peculiarities, the principal one being that they thought, and verily believed, their class to be the best one that had ever graduated, or would ever graduate, from the institution. Another peculiarity was that each mem-ber in the class ha.d a mind of his own. They could never all agree on any one point. If, for instance, there was a class outing, which there was every year, those who didn't like the crowd would stay at homey if the questions at issue in the class meetings did not suit certain members, they sent in their votes by proxy. The consequence was that the first time this class was ever seen with a full attendance was on the col- lege rostrum, commencement day, june 223, 1898. The personnel of this class is as follows: Harold james Doolittle was born at VVest Po-int, Cummings County, Nebraska, and moved to Colfax, XfVE1Slll1'lgtO1l, with his par- ents when he was two years old. After hnishing a high school course in Colfax he entered college as a student of civil engineering, grad- uating with honor four years later. Immediately upon finishing his college course he was elected draughtsman for the N. P. R. R., and at the present writing is located near the Clearwater River, Idaho, as transit man for the same company. Loring Vincent Corner was born on a farm near XVorcester. Adraine County, Missouri. He spent one year in the Missouri State University, and another in McGee College, Mo. Coming to Wfash- ington in 1892. he engaged for a time in teaching before entering 45 college. He graduated three years later with high honors from the department of economic science and history. Immediately upon finishing his college course he accepted a position as bookkeeper for the firm of Burgan Sz Jordan, resigning three months later to ac- cept a position in the business office of his alma mater. During his college course he held the position of tutor in the preparatory de- partment. Florence Eleanore Snyder was bo-rn in Montpelier, VVilliams County, Ohio, March 16, 1874. She graduated from high school and academy and at sixteen years of age began teaching. Vlfhen seventeen years old she came to l!V3Sl'1l1'1g EO11, and in 1893 entered co-llege as a student in chemistry, graduating four years later with high honors. The next year she became instructor in the prepara- tory department of the college and at the same time continued her work in music and language. Cleo. Busbey was born at Utica, Minn., Dec. 12, 1877. At two years of age she moved with her parents to- Dakota, and in 1892 came to VVashington, entering college the same year. Upon receiv- ing her degree in chemistry she was elected to the position of labora- tory assistant in her alma mater, which position she now holds with efficiency. W-'illiam Harbison Philips began his career at Garnet, Anderson County, Kansas, and moved to Wfaitsburg, Wfash., in 1883. In 1894 he graduated from the VVaitsburg Academy, and after teach- ing for a time entered college in the department of economic science and history, graduating four years later. Since then he has been superintendent of a thousand acre farm in the centre of the famous Palouse country. U I-larry Thompson was born at Qlney, Richland County, Iowa, March 23, 1875. He came to Colfax, Wash., with his parents in 1891 and a year later moved to Pullman. After graduating from the public school he entered the preparatory department of the col- lege, graduating from the department of civil engineering with honor six years later. He is novvtransitman in the employ of the N. P. R. R. 46 David Arthur Brodie was born in Allendale, Peterboro County, Ontario, Canada, july 28, 1868. He came west with his parents in 1883 and located on a farm near Silverton, Oregon. In 1894 he graduated from the State Normal School at lVIo-nmouth, Oregon, and after teaching some time in the public schools of Oregon, came to Vlfashington and entered college, completing a four years' course in agriculture. After graduating he was elected assistant agricultur- alist at the State Experiment Station, and nine months later ac- cepted the position of superintendent of the Puyallup Experiment Station. Milton Poe McCroskey was born at Madisonville, Munroe County, Tennessee, and when four years old came to Colfax, VVash., with his parents. His early life was spent on the farm and in the public schools of Colfax. Entering college, he soon identihed him- self with athletics, holding the position of left end on the football team for six years and one year as captain. After taking his de- gree in economic science and history he accepted the position of timekeeper for the O. R. 8: N. Co., but has since been promoted. Eben Tappan Tannatt was born at Manchester, Mass., in 1864, and came to 'Washington in 1885. Later he attended the 'Wasco Independent Academy at The Dalles, Oregon, and afterwards joined the O. R. 8.5 N. Co.'s survey. Going east, he tools a course in mechanical engineering in Illinois, and returned to a position with the same railway co-mpany. Later we find our hero in Idaho. where ,he married and was afterwards elected surveyor of Latah County. Entering college, he graduated with high honors from the department of electrical engineering. After graduating, he passed the examination and enlisted in the engineer corps of the U. S. Volunteers, and went to Honolulu as second lieutenant. This he resigned nine months later to accept the position of civil and electricaliengineer on a sugar plantation at a salary of S5250 a month. William Delbur Barlchui was horn on a farm near Fayette. Fayette County, Iowa, and moved to Wfalla Wfalla, XVash., with his parents at the age of two years. Two years later the family moved to a farm near Colton, Wfhitman County, where the boy grew to 47 manhood. In 1893, at the opening of the W'ashington Agricultural College and School of Science, he entered as a preparatory student, and five years later took his degree as a civil engineer. Soon after graduating he was appointed deputy surveyor of Whitman County, but resigned to accept a position as draughtsman for the N. P. R. R., and is now located near Sumner in the Puget Sound country. Franklin Arthur Boozer was horn on a farm near New Burn- side, Illinois, August 26, 1871. He attended the public schools there until 1886 when he came west with his parents. He attended the C6-lffax and Rosalia schools successively until Uctober, 18912, when he enrolled as a student at the Wfashington Agricultural Col- lege, taking his degree as a civil engineer six years later. Shortly after his graduation he installed the electrical machinery for the Lewiston Light Company, working as engineer until March 8, when he was elected. superintendent. ' - Us fff 1 !

P poet COLORS. t Lavender and Cream. Wfhen the humanity of future ages seeks to trace the various paths traversed by the bright lights of nineteenth century civiliza- tion, then shall the class of 1000 he recognized as a group of most remarkable individuals. Great historians will write long chapters in their praise and glorify them for the phenomenal advancements they caused in the development of theiworld. The student of the future will pore over their lives, learning every minute event, as we have over the lives of the greatest men of the hy-gone centuries. You, gentle peruser of these lines, may wait, if you choose, for coming years to demonstrate the great propensities of this class, or you may accept, as you would gospel truth, the description of them as herein contained. S I Full well are our sage professors aware of the excellent qual- ities of this class. They know that their indomitable spirit as evinced lay the mighty strides already made toward perfection assure these juniors of successful careers. Gladlywould they proclaim that the juniors outshine all others as the persistent radiance of the sun out- shines thc flickering light of the candle. They have never divulged their linowledge-never made it known to the public, perhaps in 53 fear of discouraging others who are climbing the flovxfery path in their poor, earnest way. From their early lives it seems strange that the members of this class are now fairly rushing along the path to fame. One, as a whooping, howling babe, received the first knowledge of a world beyond the cradle from the fury of a Dakota blizzard as it tore the sods from the roof of her fatherfs,hum1ble- abode. Another saw the light of day for the first time through the green blades of an Ar- kansas corn held, while another owes his present existence solely to the nourishing properties of Illinois buttermilk. Most of the others proudly claim this verdant Palouse country as that of their nativity, and sturdy, frowzy-haired farmers as their parents. If their days of tender youth were characterized by the same thoroughness with which they accomplish things at present, their faces were pro-bably soiled to the extreme and mud pies simply overstocked the market. The attainment of their present positions is due to the firm deter- mination, formed in childho-od, togrise from their lowly origin From silly, freckle-faced Preps., awkward in manner and totally devoid of social spirit, they have developed into the beauties of young womanhood and manhood. The spirit suggestive of Lar- rupin good Sal! Buy you some, has vanished and yearly banquets with peanuts and popcorn galore give each a renewed determination to struggle forward with the class. The rapid strides toward social perfection have been second only to those toward mental. Like a great, irresistable, swiftly on- ward bearing wave, the juniors have passed through the successive semesters. No obstacle has yet impeded them and exams. have never phased them. Rough places eno-ugh have been encoun- tered, but the utter fearlessness in mounting any pony at hand, however wild and woolly, has never yet failed to carry them through. Already is this great country aware that its coming advance- ment rests with this class. Already has it realized that a glorious future awaits it! Soon seventy million-s of people will hold their breath at each new venture of the juniors and let it burst forth in mighty applause at each new success. 54 On! juniors, on I, You have scaled the first ascent and climbed a mountain or two since. On ! up the rough, rugged, ragged path to the topmost pinnacle of those mountains which once detled you. Surely they will climb onward. June twenty-third of the year 1900 will mark the eiitrance of the juniors into the world with knowl- edge radiating from their mighty brains and the dawn of a new era before them. As the eruption of a great volcano illuminates its sur- roundings, so the juniors will light the world. it N N f XQXWQ7. ,H af ' ' ,ri . 7, W4, W ff M , fm, rM47iff 4 511140 4f,Qf,Z-ffctaiimnifffff ' 55 , .

Secretary Wliat it is no-W to be your pleasure to read is, according to hy-- pothesis, a historyf, History, according to a previous proposition, is an account of the doings of prominent men and women. You will readily see now that this is a history of the class of 1901. You would notice it as readily as you would the ht of a chem lah apron on a Freshman. How strange it all seems nowg only a little over a year ago our class, with the exception of a few just off the hunch- grass, shook od the dust of pirepdom. put aside our slates and pencils and other childish things, said our little pieces, and put ourselves forth as candidates for membership in the Qratorical Association. But the loyal and wide-awake Sophomore has to sigh when he thinks that our class only such a short time since bore some resem- blance to the unsophisticated Freshmen of today, with their limit- less arrogance and self-complacency, mingled with almost reveren- tial awe and respect for the sleepy senior and the overworked junior and strove with puerile efforts to rival the unassuming Sophomore. w But thanks to time, that is all over. A year of actual college life has heen a good training for us, it has smoothed out the little wrinkles 57 of boyish conceit and prejudice, the little idiosyncrasies that mark the Freshman and we find ourselves grown and useful men and women. During this eventful period we have quelled internal disturb- ances and made many conquests, in fact our achievements stand as a monument where all may beho-ld o-ur worth. Gui' history is one continual page of life and activity. Beginning with our first class meeting, held shortly after our introduction into solid, it is sure to last at least into the next century. Our first effort was electing class o-fhcers. T'his we disposed of without bloodshed, but the colors! There was the rub ! The origin of the word scrap, meaning '1 somewhat vigorous and violent method of adjusting things in con- troversy, has been disputed, but had it.been manufactured expressly for this history it could not better describe this memorable event, which we shall herein touch upon without attempting to describe. There have been mighty battles, great earthquakes and endless tro-ubles in this gray-haired old world of ours, but without exagger- ation we could say they have been as the sport of innocent childhood as compared with the trouble, turmoil, combat, dissension, fracas, scrap,', yea Hscrapf' that followed when the highschoolae of our pleasant little flower bed attempted to overthrow the dear, time- honored colors sacred to the hearts of the now blooming Prepaciae. But by this time the class was fairly started on its triumfphal march to fame and was able to withstand all. Now began the fuliillment of the glorious promise of distinctio-n. The football team drew its best material from our ranks. Intellectual triumphs also were wrought. Three out of the four places on the Washington's Birth- day program could be filled with credit only from the ranks of 1901. The oratorical contest, too, was won by one of us, who has since been obliged to leave school. But of all the glories that were ours the fact that most of us passed out of Geom is most dear, though Professor Roberts loved some of us too well to let us go, and others caused him to shed tears as he gave them a C and told them to pass on. 58 As remarked before, all this is past, and our second year, like our hrst, is one grand e-pic poem of success. 'If we may be permitted to prophesy, the class of 1901 will press ever onward and upward with a record of continual success until the dignity and glory of the Senior year is reached. Then will the minor victories be merged into one grand, great and glorious con- quest. Everything will he union after our journey together through the wilderness of theses, and then, like a rocket which has reached its zenith, and whose upward course has called for the admiration of countless thousands, nineteen-one will burst asunder and cast its brilliant and dazzling stars over a wondering and admiring world. And if perchance unto her lot Did trivial errors fall, Look on the record of her deeds And you'll forget them all.

Since this is to he a history of the Fresh- men. and history women, it will h is naturally a record ofthe doings of noted men and e hlled up with important events. Only the most 6r thrilling incidents will be jotted down here, as it would take years to tell all that the children have done sincethey were first known to the world. It might as well be admitted here as in any other place that Freshies are about as green as-well, the college campus. But cast- ing aside their faults for a few moments, we must get down to their merits. During the whole history of the college they have taken the leading part in social affairs, as well as in all kinds of athletic sports. In the year of ,98 they gave a banquet in Stevens Hall, which was without doubt the most important social-event which has occurred during the history of the college. The verdant Freshies intend to give another banquet as soo-n a-s the weather permits. They have made all arrangements for the occasion except engaging their dish washers Qthey think they will be able to get the Sophomores to do the kitchen workj. At the time of the first banquet the Freshies had fifty-six swelled heads, but as about twenty thought they were able to battle with the world, they left us and o-nly thirty-six remain to tell the tale. The Freshies have generously contributed to the athletic and kin- dred interests of the college, such material as the benign spectacles of the profs. or the searching eyes of the athletic trainer never wit- nessed before. Wfe need only mention our phenomenal catcher be- hind the bat, who in the year of '98 made all Eastern VVashington stand and wonderg or the daring men of the mat. who have demon- strated to the public beyond the shadow of a doubt. that a Freshie can tumble to almost anything. On the rostrurn, in learned dis- cussions, we lead where others follow and wherever the magnetism of genius is wanted, it is necessary only to touch a Freshie's button and forthwith a current that shocks the whole faculty emanates with an electric thrill. During the past few years the Freshies have al- lowed the faculty to have their own way, but as they have been so rude and so mean. and have made so many mistakes instructing the students, the Freshies have taken upon themselves the responsibility of pointing out their errors and showing them wherein they may improve their manners and have pardoned them this tim-e, providing they do better in the future. . YOURS FOR MILK! 62 E ' gli, ffik ijwf. ',. LL.f'?lf'J - WM X f ffs 'Nl Wlf PREPDOIVI. The Prep. is an uncertain quantity. He may be represented by X, y or zg better perhaps by X, y and z. In the early stages of his Prep. existence, he doth look with envious eyes upon the upper classman. If only he might occupy a seat in the middle block in chapel, go sleighriding without a chaperone, and, at receptions in Steven's Hall, sally boldly forth from the wall Qilowersj to return with the trophies of many a conquest, then life would be worth the living. U Prom the Junior Prep. or Preplet, the lowest stage of Prep. life, is slowly evolved, hrst the Middle, then the Senior Prep. Great care should be exercised during these mighty changes. lest he be attacked by that painful fto witnessj malady, commonly termed the swelled headf' But he doth nobly rise above his sta- tion. and it doth o-ften seem that all would go to rack and ruin without his timely' aid. He espouseth the cause of the football man- agerg he becometh the enthusiastic champion of gymnastics and of woman's rights, He holdeth down the banister if perchance a fair classmate be at his side. r He thinks to rival Henry Clay and longs to capture all prizes which come in his path. He aspiresato an ofhce in the Cadet Corps. or. if he be very bold, even to be President of the Chewawa. Wfhen sable night hath spread her mantle over all things he doth turn his footsteps churchwardg perchance he may while away a blissful hour or two by gallantly escorting some timid maiden to her home. Vtfhen at the quiet midnight hour a thousand hearts are beating peacefully, and from well nigh as many open mouths sounds be- yond all description do issue themselves, then the echoing clangor 53 of the ire bell and the lurid glare which lights up the ruins of Ferry Hall doth proclaim that the Prep. is abroad in the land. At the glad approach of spring the Prep. doth weary of his books. He longs to study nature. Intent on this, he strolls about the campus and doth vibrate between laboratories and class rooms not his own. He now aspires to the styles of the noble co-llegiateg his shaggy locks are smoothly parted in the middle: an immaculate cuff is tightly but-- toned about his' neckg a flaming silken fabric tis it a tie or chest pro-tector?j doth adornhis manly bosofm. So, for many happy days, he paces off the fleeting hours, and rejoices at the near approach of freedom. At length a fitting climax crowns his labors, his week of hunger now he satishesg beneath their load his pockets bulgeg his usually neat cuffs seem strangely marred with what appears to be crystallized graphiteg the lid of his 551.69 watch will scarcely close, and then bestride a pony swift and strong, he doth boldly ride through-now all is finished. He is no longer a Prep. The brilliant career of a Freshman looms up before him. ln its strong light the past fades away into insigniticance. By day he plans, by night he dreams of that which still awaits him.

That augustibody was seriously. and earnestly considering the matter. Prof. Watt was holding his head in his two hands, tightly pressing them against his throbbing temples. A few had already spoken. The pharmacy cause seemed lost for those few thought the responsibility too great. . A A festive fly, however, alighted on Professor W'att's head. Presto! Change! The case was won! 'fW'ho knowsf, exclaimed Professor Watt in agonizing but convincing tones, but what some aspiring pillmaker may discover a sure and speedy hair restorer and thus humanity will forever owe a debt of gratitude to the XV. C. 67 Emboldened by this outburst, Professor Wfebster said: And perchance the secret of making love potions may be discovered. Miss Howard indignantly arose to her feet-but no further argu- ments were necessary-the faculty proceeded at once to business. A committee consisting of Professo-rs Fulmer, Watt, Piper and Nelson was appointed to discuss matters more fully. Needless to say, such a committee reported favorably. Two hundred dollars wereiappropriated for equipment. At the next meeting of the Board of Regents the pharmacy course was re-established, the hrst year's work to begin with the regular school year of '96-,97. Professor Fulme-r was made head of the department. I The pharmacy classes have been fortunate, indeed, in having such a splendid faculty to conduct their course of study. The def partinents are'under the supervision of the different professors as follows: Chemistry-Elton Fulmer, M. S., whose reputation as an up- to-date chemist is too well known to need further comment. Botany-C. V. Piper, M. S., who is second to no botanist on the Pacific coast. Pharmacy--Geo. H. Vtfatt, B. S., a graduate of,Scio College of Pharmacy of Ohio, whose teaching is thoroughly practical as well as theoretical. - Materia Medica, Physiology, Therapeutics-S. B. Nelson, D. V. M., who is state veterinarian, and as such has a well deserved reputation throughout the Northwest. Latin-Miss Annie Howard, whose ability and culture have en- deared her to all who know her. That the pharmacy department has made wonderful strides of progression is most readily 'seen by comparing the course of study as scheduled in catalogue of '91-'92 and that of '98-'99. COURSE IN PHARMACY, ,91-'92. First year: Fall term-Required, elements of algebra. Eng- lish, bookkeeping. physiology, industrials, military drill. electives, drawing, vocal music. Wfinter term-Algebra, English, Latin. 68 hotany. military drill, drawing, vocal music. Spring term-Botany, chemistry, Latin, military drill, weighing, measuring, computing, reductions, drawing, vocal music. Second year: Fall term-Physics, chemistry, Latin, phar- macy, military drill, music. VVinter term-Physics, chemistry, ma- teria medica, pharmacy, military drill, music. Spring term-Ma- teria medica, physio-logy and hygiene, chemical and medical tox- icology, pharmacy, military drill, music. In the fall of '96 seven students were enrolled: Virgil T. Mc- Croskey, U. G. Marsh, Harry XV Jackson, Clarence A. Gilkey, Henry Wfalsh, VV. Palmerton, G. T. Clark. In the spring of ,98 the first class, consisting of V. T. McCros- key, H. VV. Jackson, VV. Palmerton, Theo. Fessler, was graduated. Mr. lVIcCroskey is still a student of the XV A. C., and will be grad- uated from-the economic science course this year. VVith this train- ing his success as a pill dispenser is assured. H. XV. Jackson is holding down a position in a drug store at Palouse. ' J. XV. Palmerton is Hputting into practice what he learned at college at one of our local drug stores. Theo. Fessler has a splendid position ina pharmacy at W'hat- com and needs to seek no more for love potions. Mr. Fessler at- tended a school of pharmacy in Iowa one year previous to his en- tering here. Having had two years of practical experience in a drug store, he was given a diploma of registered pharmacist in July on the recommendation of his diploma of the XV A. C. ln April, '98, McCroskey, Palmerton and Jackson took the state examination at Spokane and passed in a manner creditable alike to themselves and to their instructors. lfuring the year '07-'98 eight students were enrolled: Bernard D. Haber, Fred E. Dicus, Josephine M. Hoeppner, Chas. T. Lar- kin. Gertrude L. MacKay. Ulysses G. Marsh, Vtfesley Clark Stone and Deshler Sells. V ' And in the Junior year the following are enrolled: Albert Adams. Frank Anderson, Lloyd Gihson. G. V. Greaves, C. H. Boat- right and Lizzie Sillman. 69 Providence and the faculty permitting, these Seniors will have hydrastis Qgolden sealj placed on their diplomas in june: Chas. T. Larkin, Greenville Clark, Deshler Sells, U. G. Marsh, Gertrude MacKay and Josephine Hoeppner. The School of Science Pharmaceutical Association is one or the most progressive and vigorous societies of the XV. A. C. The society was organized October 28, 1896, with Virgil T. McCroskey as president and Henry l1Valsh secretary. The term of office is one regular college semester. The officers now are: President, Josephine Hoeppner, vice president, D. Sellsg secretary, Gertrude Macliayg treasurer, Frank Anderson, sergeant-at-arms, Lloyd Gibson. The programs pertain strictly to pl'l8.1'1T121CCL1tlC3..l work, and many interesting and instructive papers have been read and dis- cussed by the various members. The Quiz, which is always an important feature of the program, is helpful and entertaining. The society meets bi-weekly and some of its productions are Worthy o-f being handed down to posterity, years and years hence. In the spring of '98 Geo. H. Watt was made professor of phar- macy. The course in pharmacy has been a decided success and there is no cause for regret in its re-establishment. Professors VVatt and Fulmer are still hopeful of the discovery of a hair restorer. Pro- fessor Piper evidently found the love potion, whilst Professor VV'eb- ster is slowly but surely imbibing the same. 4537 : , W7 WM , ,,.. 2' H' fjphonlfyvwf 11,4 ffm, 11,3 il iiix ' , QI 1 ,-A x 'V X. my I Xxx XTAA 1 fl Wh. M-Wafcallflmfff '70 MUSIC DEPARTMENT. LTLIAN A. BOLSTER, Director. In the first years of its existence the VVashington Agricultural College and School of Science had no department of music and little attempt was made to develop the voices of its students in song. During the year '93-'94, Professor L. C. Read, assistant to the pro- fessor of horticulture, gave vo-cal instructions to the student body a half ho-ur each day, and lessons in instrumental music to those who desired it. He also organized and directed a college band. From that time until the year '96, no provision was made for musical in- struction in connection with the college Work. Then the Board of Regents, at its regular June meeting, authorized a music department and invited Miss Bolster as instructor in piano music, and Mrs. W. I. Wfindus in voice culture. Accordingly, at the beginning of the fall term of the year '96-'97, we found music in our midst. T'he musical tones that reached our ears as We passed from one building to the other, attending our classes, gave evidence that some sweet voices were being built up and trained by their efficient instructor. In the piano department mu-ch interest was soon manifested. The intensity of this interest p-roved itself in the following incident. In the latter part of the first year the military companies posed in front of Steven's Hall for the space of ten minutes, respectfully saluting the young ladies, to the utter unconsciousness of two of our music students who were deeply absorbed in practicing the Deppe Exercises. I Vlfe observed with interest the daily progress of the piano stu- dent. and at the hrst of this year fully realized how realistic a true 71 musical touch may be by its effect on new students. One passed through the halls of Steven's Hall with an agonized countenance and exclaimed, HT-Tow fearfully the wind howls on this hill in But a student with more years of college experience calmly stated, That is Miss Ellis playing Tausigf, In this department classes in the history and development of music and in harmony are open to students. For all who are sufh- ciently advanced, oportunities are given from month to month for playing in public, thereby securing confidence and self-possession to the performer. On lfVednesday afternoon of each week, an hour is devoted to the study of a composer and some of his works. The recital on Monday of commencement week is given by one or two pupils selected from the music class. This year the program will be rendered by Miss Anna Ellis, who will be the first graduate from the music department. P 9 'R ssc T egg 1 f0I 1 lx -' lf ' - ff!!

QTA CE nt Inn 4 STAFF OF '99 OUR WAR DEPARTMENT. The first military formation, if such it may be called, of the stu- dents of the Vtfashington Agricultural College and School of Science took place on the campus in front of College Hall, Columbus Day. October twelfth, eighteen hundred and ninety-two. Everyone, old and young, large and small, male and female, lined up in double rank under the supervision of Professor E. R. Lake, who, after a few explanatory remarks, announced the commands to be given, and asked those who had ever had any military drill to fall out. No one fell out. The professor cast a solitary glance and proceeded to give some commands, 'fLeft, FACE l The boys and girls looked at each other, but stood still, then he said, f'All face toward the dormitory and when I say 'Forward march' everybody walk. They obeyed. but when he commanded Column right, MARCHH no one knew what was wanted. The professor was at a loss as to just how to proceed, so he yelled f'XNhoa! Everybody stopped. They evidently knew what that meant. Now, he said, I will walk ahead and you may followf' And thus he led the long line of two hundred farmers' sons and daughters through the streets of Pullman Qthe town cows had previously been tied upj to the public school auditorium, where the exercises of the day were held. Soon after this event the students of the college were seized with a military spirit, and two volunteer companies were organized. with Claude Eastman as captain of Company A and Arthur Clothier as captain of Company B. Nearly all the boys joined and soon two large companies were earnestly drilling three times a week. The state kindly furnished the college with a lot of old condemned rifles and the boys were permitted to use them on agreement that they be kept in good condition. 79 The girls of the college were anxious to join in this drill, but were not permitted to- do so, consequently they formed a company of their own, which they called the 'lBroomsticlc Brigade, using the College Hall chapel for an armory. Then, as now, things were not what they seem, and soon the drilling was mostly by pro-Xy. At last even the proxies failed to re- port for duty and no evidence of military training remained except now and then a second-hand uniform making its way over the cam- pus, or perhaps the melodies of Bugler Harmon as he stood on the walk between the dormitory and College Hall and twittered a few sweet notes from an old bugle call he was trying to learn. The following year Uncle Sam got his eye on Pasco QPasco roomed in No. 4:0 girls' division of the dorrn.j, and at once realized what was needed, so he detailed the institution one of his tenth cavalry second lieutenants, who soon organized the cadet corps. Of course before much progress could be made it was necessary to have some ofhcers. and in order to explain matters and show just how the corps was to be regarded an order was published as follows: ORDERS NO. 1. Headquarters XV. A. C. Corps Cadets, Pullman, Wfash.. Feb. 10, 1804. 1. The cadets of the corps will he organized as a company of infantry, uniformed and equipped as directed by the college author- ities, and designated Company A. 2. Theoretical instruction by lectures will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week from 4:00 p. m. to 4:30 p. ni. in the college chapel. All cadets will attend unless excused. Practical instruction will he given on Wfednesdays and Fri- days of each week from 4:00 p. ni. to 4:30 p. ni. until further orders. Only those cadets designated as non-commissioned officers will be required to attend. 4. Cadets Ankney, Brown, Lowden, Long, S., and Wfagner, are appointed lance corporals and will assume the duties of that ofhce. - 80 5. Lance Corporal Long is appointed acting adjutant. By order of LIEUTENANT STOCKLE, STANLEY LONG, Lance Corporal Co. A, TN. A. C. C. C.. Acting Adjutant. Please do not mark this paper. Wfeiniglit call this order the beginning of all evil. jealousy. pride and bursted hatbands may be dated from this order. May thirsty-first, eighteen hundred and ninety-four, saw the body of cadets march away to Union Flat for their First annual en- campment. During the encampment those college trained gentle- men stole everything in the vicinity, from a pan of skimmed milk to a sheepskin. They robbed the poor farmers of their butter, eggs and poultry. Une night every one in camp except the cominandant and the guard went out and brought in twenty-three chickens and one turkey. They took the turkey because he was obstinate and would not keep step. The next day they had a feast. After the feast all hands went fishing and young Ankney, tired of camp life, threw his rifle into the creek and deserted. The guard chased him over the fertile hills of the Palouse valley for two days without capturing him. He gave himself up, however, and came to Pullman 'with the company. I The following year a heavy rainfall increased the attendance at the college and a second company was organized, with F. Lowden as captain. Wfe then had for the first time a two-company battalion. Wfe used the vacant country south of the armory for a drill ground, tramping down the balsamorrhiza sagittati and waging war on Stratton's barn. Wfe kept this up until June, when the com- mandant issued an order for the corps to prepare to go on an en- canipnient: so accordingly we loaded a wagon with some tin dishes. corn-cob pipes, court plaster. shoe polish, and an old horse blanket Wfe were just ready to start when President Bryan said he would like to say a few words before we left. He made a long speech and cau- tioned us not to do anything while we were away which would re- Hect discredit on ourselves or the institution: not to forage for good 6 Q S1 things to eat, etc., etc., etc. The President is very thoughtful about little matters of this kind. XNe took his advice and were off for Palouse City. W'e had marched only about two miles when the commandant ordered a halt. The boys fell out and filled their corn cobs with Durham from a long sack the lieutenant had hanging from his belt. After a puff or two the march was resumed. Thus with an occasional stop, to rest a bit, we marched to Four-mile creek, cap- tured a school playground and camped for lunchf Wfe ate our lunch in less time than it takes to tell it and went on our way a little footsore. Wle bent a record on that marchg the commandant thought we broke it, but we didn't, although we made good time. W'e camped in the Palouse City park amid the fructifying remains oi a barbecue that had preceded us. The lieutenant, meditating over what President Bryan had said to us, became a little dubious about our conduct and as a safeguard published an order something like this: 1. The present encampment will be known as Camp Tanf natt, ' in honor of the president of the Board of Regents. 2. l'Cadets are requested not to swim in the reservoir, as it supplies the camp with water. Vulgar and obscene language must not be used in camp. No o-ne will sleep aloud without permission. 4. lt should be remembered by the cadets that they are at present in a well settled community, and that for their own sake and that of the institution which they represent, they should give no opportunity to o-thers to accuse them of lifting pullets or trying to nip watermelonsg it is out of season for these things and they will not be brought into camp. The good sense of the cadets is trusted to stop such practices, and if that fails the guard will be held pe- cuniarily responsible for any one who slips through the line with a dozen eggs under his arm, unless the offender is caught. 5. Those men having essays or speeches at commencement report to Lieutenant Stockle. 'We were treated royally while at' Palouse. The weather was fair and the creamery furnished us with buttermilk a la plenty. One 82 evening a number of Palousers, accompanied by a brass band, visited camp. The band played the Sweet Bye and Bye. while we joined the Gesellschaft in stubbing the light fantastic toe on the park plat- form. XYailing was kept up till a late hour and the Palouse belies made such impressions that it was long after taps when some of their escorts returned to camp. The aforesaid escorts tried to run the lines, but were unsuccessful. Bill Todd. after a long chase, was cap- tured by the ofhcer of the day and taken to the guardhouse. The others remained outside the lines and at daybreak were seen sitting on a log near camp. They were gathered in and all ta.ken before the commandant, who issued orders as follows: Corporal McMeekin, reduced to ranks. Private Todd ten hours! labor. or leave camp in fifteen minutes. Cl-Te left campj Lieutenant Burch remain inside the lines until further orders. One evening after mess the cook's police tlsco. Tottenj was wrestling with the tinware of the kitchen and preparing to peel some spuds for breakfast. The cadets were sitting by the camp tire enacting some impromptu lies. The men on post were leisurely patrolling their beats. thinking of the pearls that lay before them. A few short hours, then taps sounded and stillness reigned supreme. Sam Huittting had defeated Knify Smith in the hfty-yard water dash. and was content. The cook's police had rolled in and the S611- tinel's all's well echoed through the timber. ' That very night there was an alarm. the sentinel on number two dischargedshis riHe: the guard fell in and hastened to his assist- ance: every man in camp wasaroused and ready for action. The difficulty was soon settled when it was found that only three hun- dred pour? ds of ljalouse City butter were marching into camp under a flag of truce. No damage was done further than that some of the men on guard became a little nervous. Harry Jackson halted an old black stump, declaring it was a man and that he saw him move. St. Lawrence fancied he saw a something in a ditch that was close to his beat. and it was only after the most minute investigation that the corporal of the guard could get him to believe otherwise. St. said he wasnt scared. but the shake in his voice would lead one to S3 believe differently. On Saturday we pulled the tent pins, lired it salute and were olf for Pullman. The next fall all the three-year men retired, thus giving some of the young aspirants to military fame a chance for promotions. lt was during this year that the battalion staff grew into prominence. 'llhere are always some cadets that by some act of bravery, good be- havior, or inability to drill, must be promoted, and as a result the staff soon assumes immense hgures. Qccasionally a new office is created for the benefit of a hero who is of no use in the line except as a private. The cadet corps has its little, drawbacks. Wle are given an encampment every two years and we will not murmur at the fragments of a cast-iron rule, but it is difficult to drill when the basket ball girls are in the armory. I wo-nder why? The college is also infested with physical disabilitiesf, P. D's, as they arecommonly called. Wle will not attempt to denne this term, other than that it applies to those individuals who have successfully evaded drill by presenting a paper upon which someone has written something like the following: This is to certify that Mr. .......... is likely to die some time, therefore I consider him physically unable to perform military duty. . Dr .............. Of course, if a man has a wooden leg of cross grain timber, or a glass eye that is too small, it is well to excuse him from drill, because such innrmities might cause confusion in ranks when marching at double time. A neat uniform is pleasing to- the eye, but when we see a cadet with a negligee blouse that looks like an old night shirt, and a pair of trousers rolled up three rolls from the bottom and still too- long, we feel like packing a mule and taking a trip to the mountains. Some people may not notice these things, but to the critical eye o-f a dress- maker they are very apparent, and there is a longing on the part of the seamstress to shirr the blouse and take a tuck or two in the trousers. i But notwithstanding all this, the scaldinff tears coursed down 23 many a fair face as the battalion marched away to Vlfhelan for en- 34 campment. It meant an additional question in 'Kexamf' for the girls. Wife camped in a grain field near VVhelan, where many peo- ple came to visit us and were delighted to see our sunburned noses greased with oleomargarine. Some of them went so far as to Vio- late the rules of camp and were promptly arrested and cordially taken to the guard house. They became rather indignant over the way in which the cadets obeyed orders, but were soon released, however, and allowed to go their way. Wfhen the girls of the dormitory visited us, refreshments were served to them from the general mess. The menu was simple and was served without fingerbowls or napkins. Some of the more industrious cadets bought eight chickens, for which they paid twelve do-llars. The boys did not care to make this purchase, but the person from whom the chickens were ob- tained insisted on it, so they bought them. For want of space we will simply give a few quotations and go more into detail in the next issue. Man on Post-f'Corporal of the guard post number two, I lost all the 'potaties' out oi me cartridges.

So many clubs, both great 'and small, Can furnish ofhces to all Wfho love to be high cock-a-lorum, But one hard problem comes to each, One maxim every club can teach, lts beastly hard to get a quorum. THE GLEE CLUB. There was at one time a long felt want. in XV. A. C. life. That want came from the inrnost depths of the heart of man. It was a desire for music. iWho has not read those immortal words of Longfellow, or some other fellow fully as crazy, Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast? XVe believe that Bro-ther Longfellow fit might possibly have been Nalderj was strictly in the right when he wrote those words. At least we have noticed that all the lower animals behave very strangely when forced to listen to VV. A. C. music. But then. you know, the poor dumb creatures cannot be expectedto have the forbearance of a human being. The college also needed one more thing, without which any in- stitution of such pretensions as are here put forth, must go down to posterity as an everlasting blot upon the cause of education and civilization. Wie needed a fake. XVG got it. Wfe wanted! some- thing to make us laugh and grow fat. Wfe got that, too. Vyfe wanted something whereby certain of our comrades could pour forth the melody of their souls in tones which the rest of us should never forget. NYC wanted something whereby people might sho-w them- selves off to what they considered their own advantage. S7 lNe wish to say right here to any one of our postferity who, in the dim and misty corridors of time yet to be built, may in some quiet hour rest his weary eyes upon this volume in the vain hope that herein he may discover the cause of some of his hereditary, in- nate and irrepressible wickedness, that the formation of the W. A. C. Glee Club filled his forefathers with the utmost of gho-ulish glee and exultant satisfaction. They enco-uraged it, they fostered it in their bosoms, they paid it money, and were sorry of it. They went to hear it and came away sighing. The formation of this organization took place at the opening of college in the fall of 1896. About this time in the history of the institution, one Darrow arrived from the far east. Now this Darrow was long for this college. He came and looked over the institution. He remembered how they used to do back in the little hamlet where he went to school, so he said, We need music, let there be a Glee Club, and there was a Glee Club. And this same Darrow did, out of the fullness of his heart and the length and breadth Cprincipally lengthj of his generosity, give instruction to the club. He tamed it and trained it till it would do his bidding, then he decided to travel with it, and exhibit it to the wondering gaze o-f neighboring cities. Ere long this club became notorious abroad. Fair ladies came to hear and see it, and the mem- bers of the club did smile upon them. it The second year of the club opened up auspiciously, but by this time so many freaks had applied to enter that it was found necessary to limit the membership. The third year the manager smiled and said, VVe'll have a Man- dolin Club, too, won't we, Barnum ? Now, this Barnum had just been imported to the XV. A. C. in the fall of 1898, and entered the club as assistant trainer. The Mandolin Club was added and the club started on its third yea.r of existence. The beginning has been brilliant, but we shake our heads sadly as we contemplate its future. In conclusion, should any one of the above mentioned freaks chance to peruse this article, we wish to give the club our blessing and our best wishes for the future. Go on, oh delightful sirens in 88 disguise, go on. You have proved yourselves a hoxvlingl' success! 'What would we do, what could we do, without you? It is true you come high, but we must have you. Cro on, as you have done in the past, lightening the heavy heart by your ceaseless attempts at music. You never yet have given us too big a dose to recover from, if we have only sufficient time. Go on, your mission is a high one. Vlfe appreciate your efforts. Wfe know you mean well. We love you as though you were a brother Cor even a sisterj, and we would not let any one abuse you, no, not if we died for it. You have become a necessity to our Well-being. Wfe would really rather listen to you than to a first class hand organ. Wfhat more can you wish? Again ive say, go on, and may Heaven bless your efforts. TI-IE COLUNIBIAN. In the year 1894, a yearning for higher literary attainment manifested in the hearts of the collegiate students of the NW. A. C.. coupled with the realization on their part of the ditncultics and cgn- barrassments everywhere attendant upon First attempts at public speaking, made the creation of a literary society an absolute and undeniable necessity. So the knightly spirits of our predecessors, of those never-to-be- forgotten days, brought together all the intelligence, wit, and non- sense available and the magnificent production of their combined genius, the Columbian Literary Association started on its unpar- alleled career. At the time the brave resolution was made to form a real, live literary society there were eight immortals enrolled in the college proper, so it is very evident that to be a collegiate student at that time. it was necessary to be a Columbian, and the judgment of later years must be that this was well. For in the infancy of any institu- tion it is highly desirable that the students should receive only the very best literary training, so that as they go out into the cold, damp, 89 mouldy world, the institution from which they come may gain a suit- able reputation. Wfe tremble with fear and turn pale at the thought of what wrecks these early students might have become had they been left to the tender mercies of our younger sister society, the ill- starred Wfasliiiiigtoii. But, this little squad of learning's devotees, resembling a corporals squad, as to numbers, met regularly- every week, and wagged their sage heads over all aHairs worthy their con- sideration. XVe have somehow lost all trace of decisio-ns ren- dered, but we feel sure that they were far weightier and of more value than those of any peace commission or even of-that most sagacious of bodies, the United States senate. t Q The year following the organization of the society brought the dawn of prosperity with it. By this time ye sportive senior preplet of the year before had emerged from the prep. cocoon, and now dashed his showy wings in all the grandeur, conceit and Hswell- headednessu of an actual freshman. So ye exquisitely combed fresliy was duly added to the Columbian. He, too, thought he wanted some of the benefits of public speaking, so once in a while the charter members sat back as an audience and indulged him in his playful fancy. 4 But now another bomb was exploded in the midst o-f the gentle and unsuspecting Coluinbians. The preps. had increased in num- bers so fast that the sturdy little Chewawa was swelled almost to bursting, and no-w actually parted in twain, the senior preps. being allowed to join the Columbian, while the less violent junior preps. settled down to the routine of work in the Chewawa by themselves. This increase in the society product Cjudging the matter from an economic standpointj, was ahead of the demand for consump- tion. So, as is always the case when there is a vast product o-n the market which cannot be used, something had to happen. Forthwith ye grave and reverend Columbians conferred among themselves as to what should be done. They decided to apply the law of the sur- vival of the fittest. Accordingly the weeding out process began. and the weakest, meanest, ugliest and mo-st swell-headed were forcibly kicked out into the hard, frigid world, where they formed the nucleus of the aforementioned XiVashington society. ' Q0 From this time on the Columbian society grew stronger and better in every way. Its members waxed strong in debate. Shake- spearean readings were given from time to time by the most learned and sedate members. Ere long a piano was purchased and a society choir organized. Uh? ye gods and little fishes, how we sang! I Before closing this article we feel that we must notice one im- portant event which occurred last year, in which the Columbian society participated. There is situated about ten miles from Pull- man a town called Moscow. Now in this town is an institution called the University of Idaho. This institution has within its do- main a debating Society, the Salmagundi, which had the supreme audacity to challenge the Columbian to a debate. The challenge was accepted forthwith and certain ones among us were armed and equipped for the fray. The great day of debate came round at last. The tender young Salmagundians looked hopeful and smiling. NVe really felt sorrowful to see them all in the innocence and purity of youth go forward to certain defeat at the hands of the ruthless Columbians, but what could be done? They had issued the chal- lenge, and Columbian honor had to be saved, even at the expense of youth and innocence. The Salmagundians were fairly wiped in the mud from start to nnish and then retired from the scene of action for repairs. Since that time the society has moved onward and upward, to- ward the Supreme end of its existence, literary excellence. Wfe have not yet produced a Longfellow, a Nlfhittier or a Bryant, but we are doubtless building here the stepping stones upon which some future embodiment of greatness shall proudly rise to the realms of a higher, nobler, and more perfect manhood, and in his rising call us blessed. THE WASHINGTON . Among the histories of all literary societies which have come into being since the birth of time, there is none that has enjoyed a QI career at once so full of promise and fraught with such brilliant per- formances as the Hfashington Literary Society. Ever since it arose above the horizo-n of time it has been the one bright guiding star in the literary firmament of the XV. A. C. Wfith such a career, the casual observer would naturally be led to hazard the inference that it is as old, at least, as the institution which it graces by its presence. Such is, however, not the case. It did not always thus exist a brilliant assemblage of still more dazzling intellects. In digging up and turning over the musty rolls of parchment on which are inscribed the ancient, sacred records of this organiza- tion, the following data have been obtained: The VVashington was organized about the 23rd of january, in the year of grace eighteen hundred and ninety-five, in something like this wise: The faculty sent an urgent request to the only liter- ary society Qas some then thought and persist in thinking yetj on the face of creation, that about hfteen of the brightest literary genii within its fold withdraw from the common herd and form a new society, in order to hll a void which had ached for lo! these many days for an organization of real merit. Fifteen such worthy ones not being found, fourteen gladly responded to the call of their higher destiny. An organization was perfected without delay with the following staff officers in charge: President, Peter Brown, vice president, XV. H. Philips, recording secretary, Ollie B.

Lack of space, as well as motives of modesty, forbid our giving these worthy members their due share of praise, but for further in- formation as to their greatness the reader is referred to the Scroll of Fame, where a detailed report is given. i Once fairly launched, with a full spread of canvas and a fair sea. a prosperous voyage was of course insured the new society. Wfhile yet on her trial trip, it occurred to some of the members that this 92 literary ship of state was without a name. Accordingly a committee was appointed, which submitted the following designations whereby it might be identined if found alone on the campus after lights out: NNashingtonian, Snyderonian, Athenian, Philomathian and Ciceron- ian. As no successful combination of these names could be agreed upon, it was decided to drop all except the nrst, and to discard the last syllable of it, to the great discomfiture. we op-ine, of the well meaning suggestors. One of the first serious questions which came up for its de- cision was whether it should receive within its fold any of that ubiquitous and motley aggregation known in college parlance as Preps.', After many heated discussio-ns and divers and sundry conferences with the faculty, it was decided to admit such of the senior prep. class as gave satisfactory outward evidence of reform- ability. ' The question, also, of receiving Missourians and other' foreign- ers as members arose about this time. It was amicably settled, as we find that a special meeting was held a few weeks after organiza- tionyfor the purpose of receiving as a member our present worthy booklceeper. During commencement week, 1895, the first joint meeting of the literary societies was held, and as has been its ho-no-red custom evcr since the Vifashington came in for the lion's share of the glory of the evening. . ' Duringnthe years of its infancy the Wiashington was lulled into quietness by the gentle swaying motion of the crib. As time went on, however, and the child grew apace in size and importance, it was found necessary to creep nearer the C0-mines of civilization. so one of the classrooms in the ad. building was secured as its regu- lar rendezvous. About this time, in addition to a local habitation and a name, it was decided that the society should have some instrument for ac- companying its Pattis and Bernhardts 'on their short swallow flights of song, and whercon its Paderewskis and Rubensteins might de- velop their gift divine for their own relief and the amusement of the 93 public in general. Accordingly, by giving an open program and charging admittance, doubling the semester's dues, rustling around among the ever benevolent professors, doing cho-res for neighbors, eating less ol the succulent ine cut so prominent among the pleas-- ing memories of Ferry Hall, going to fewer shows, getting special terms from the agent, etc., etc., a splendid new piano became the heritage of the lufashington. This imposing instrument, except on society evenings, now holds a prominent position in the chapel, and melodiously witching strains may be heard issuing from its tuneful depths at almost any hour of the day or night. During the past year the Wfashington has been maintaining its accustomed prominence among the college literary associations. About December Oth it occurred to a number of the most promin- ent members that the old constitution, which had been doing active duty during the society,s entire career, was worn so thin in several spots that it presented quite a ragged appearance. Accordingly a committee was appointed which immediately drew up an entirely new constitution ironclad in its provisions, and immutable in its rule ings. Since then, quite frequently when members are delinquent at regular meetings, this modern Diogenes may be met on dark streets clown town, searching out the truants and bringing them sum- marily to justice. Taken all in all, the entire career of the Wfashington has been a most worthy and happy one and bids 'fair to grow accordingly through all. coming generations. TI-IE WEBSTERIAN.

During the fall and early winter of eighteen hundred ninety- eight it became apparent that the formation of a new society was necessary. The other literary societies of the NV. A. C. were inade- quate, and, although great and excellent organizations, did not meet the requirements for a thorough literary training. The ener- 94 'Q .- -' :qs pg, THE WEBSTERIAN. ...., A1532-. getic young men of the brilliant class of 1902 were the first to realize the full significance of affairs and to appreciate the opportunity of being the founders of a new society. Wfithout the slightest attempt at exaltation it must be said that they felt an innate sense of unde- veloped genius which. if properly brought out, would exert an ines- timable influence in the formation of the world's future histo-ry. Ac- cordingly, on the evening of February 11. 1898, a meeting was called, and a new society was formed with twenty senior preparatory students as charter members. Ernest Wagner was chosen for presi- dent and Laud Rutherford for vice president. Wfith characteristic en- ergy the members set to work, drew up a constitution, a.nd ap- pointed various committees. In view of the fact that. as a rule, thc great statesmen of our nation have owed their supremacy to their powers of oratory, the programs were composed largely of debates: and in honor of our greatest debater and orator the young en- thusiasts called the society the lN'ebsterian. A closed door policy was at first established and the amateur orators were screened from public gaze just as the proboscis of a baseball catcher is protected from fouls. Under the wise and able administration of President Wfagner and the .protective system thus established, the Vtfebster- ian entered upon an era of prosperity and advancement that was destined in itsonward march to assume proportions of which even the leaders, in their widest range of imagination, had scarcely con- ceived. I Should anyone who heard the VVebsterians one short year ago now listen to them he would exclairn with the poet: 1 - 'Whfhat improvements have been wrought Through the medium of thought ! The bashful, awkward speaker of last year is the graceful, log- ical debater of today, and in fact as well as in ime the future Wfeb- ster of our broad republic. To describe the various administrations. to enumerate the spirited debates, and record the quick wit, o-r to attempt to bring before o-ur readers an adequate conception of the flowery bursts of eloquence which have thrilled admiring listeners and reverberated from wall to wall and from Floor to ceiling of Dr. 95 1 Egge's classroom would more than fill a volume and would neces- sitate the pen of a Milton. ,It is impossible to mention the brilliant Alvord, to describe the logical Burke, to follow the adventures oi a Boone, and to comment on the works of Spenser. Iohnson's love of letters will have to remain unmentioned. joe Hungate, the de- claimerg- Smythe, the two-forty talkerg Melhart, the useful, Sherrod, the story teller: Cordiner, the iinancierg Evans, the essayistg Morgan, the co-nvincing debaterg Harshman, the ex-tempo speaker, Wfilliams, the rival of Meigs, the forcible debaterg Miller, the currier of notes and grinder of witticisms: all these will remain as examples of VVeb- sterian progressiveness. Let us skip over the Poole, turn ourselves Luce, admire the.Park, notice the great Stone, avoid a Person, a Mashburn, or a Blackburn, and obey the command of the Proff. It is well to pause a moment and listen to Cyrus, the mathema- ticiang .lim Hungate, the electriciang Dibble, the orator from the East, and Carlisle, a Vtfebsterian worthy his name. The Worthy members Cunningham, Mahnclre, Patric and Zumwalt will Hyde away in the library and prepare to meet the oppo-sing points of Bull and his colleagues. But we must not digress into a Squibb. Suf- fice it to say that. within a few short months, the society had attained such a degree of excellence that, at the beginning of the present school year, President Bryan, recognizing its true worth, accorded it a. position of high honor by a proclamation delivered from the chapel rostrum. The Wfebsterians gcame, they are here, and they are doing a good work. Co-urage is their watch-word, perseverance their motto, and a great and noble future the goal of their ambition, Devotion to duty, determination, and inherent capabilities for learn- ing are the elements that constitute their success. The society has been constantly growing. improving, and expanding. Prom a membership at hrst limited to twenty-tour, it has swelled its num- bers to about thirty-six: and the door of admission is thrown open to all classes in general and all individuals in particular who may be able to come up to the standard of ideal membership. Wle glory in the achievements of the XVebsterians: we rejoice in their success and hold in greatest respect each and every member of 7 97 this society. lflfhat Daniel Wfebster was in the days of his young manhood each VVebsterian is now, and we confidently believe that the time will come when the task of writing a full history of the VVe'b- sterian and its members will be taken from our hands and placed in the hands 'of our great national historiansg and on the pages o-f his- tory, the names of the Vlfebsterians will shine with a lustre and splen- dor that will forever impart greatness to themselves and to all who may have been so fortunate as to have been associated with their able society. THE CHEWAWA LITERARY SOCIETY. The Chewawa Literary Society is the oldest organization and the only one o-f its kind in the college, and yet, notwithstanding its antiquity, it is. still the baby societyf, This organization was founded with the express purpose in View of facilitating a more rapid development of the raw minds of the still rawer students. , In the good old days when students were not so plentiful as now, every new and inexperienced one was ushered into the sancti- monious presence of the faculty, by whom he was cross-questioned and examined and assigned to -his respective stall Immediately the sheltering arm of Professor Wfatt was thrown about him and with all due ceremony the little tow-head was initiated into the Chewawa. . The government of this curious institution, this place for little minds, as its name would indicate, is indeed a most interesting and characteristic feature of the society. The executive, legislative and judicial powers are tested in a single head, the Magnus Pushio. This walking constitution, as he might very justly be called, is imperial in design, a real executive in himself, wearing the purple, and we are to-ld that some of his wily subjects presented him with half a dozen pajamas of that royal color. 98 A There is also associated with the society a president and secretary. Briefly,qthis is the Chewawa. It has not yet sent out from its halls a dazzling array of Clays and NVelJsters, Lowells and Wfash- ingtons, nor does it hope to do so. The Chewawa is only a stepping stone to soinething higher and we hope that for many years yet to come the Chewawa will go on preparing students for effective work in the collegiate societies. Y. NI.

Duniinet, traveling secretary ol the National Y. M. C. A. Mr. Wfill Philips was niade president of the association, holding the office for three years, when Mr. lVill M. Duncan was elected as his successor. The new leader heing very susceptible to the inlluence of the gentle sex, agitated the question of a helpinate which resulted in the organization of the Y. XV. C. .X. on Novenilner 21, 1897, with Miss Gertrude MacKay as president. Miss MacKay has proved herself a worthy and effi- 99 cient leader. After two years of faithful, earnest wo-rk Mr. Duncan was followed by Mr. Leo. Totten, who is still president. The Y. M. C. A. has now twenty active and five associate members, while the Y. XV. C. A. boasts a membership of nineteen. The object of these associations is the development of Christian character among its members, the prosecution of active Christian work and the promo- tion of a spirit of Christian 'love and fellowship among the students. No brilliant results are expected, indeed they are not wished for, but if through the untiring zeal and energy of its members a higher sense of honor and respect for Chiistianity may be established among the students, its labors will not have been in vain. i ii 1 XX - N .-A X is ,.:.-f X -H0 , 1 .-'nv X X --..

C. have been much disturbed by the mysterious actions of an associa- tion of boys who have appeared at all the festivities of later dates, giving an inharmonious yell, and like a Filipino band, suddenly dis- appearing. They disclaim any complicity in the midnight feasts and any one of them will tell you that he regards the chicken roost as sacred, but some have interpreted this to mean that the chicken roost i's their Mecca, The name of this mysterious club is the: S. C. L. Through strenuous efforts the Board of Editors succeeded in getting the boys to confide to them something of the history and character of the organization, but the name they left them to guess. Solemn oaths had they sworn never to tell one syllable, or one letter more than the three given, each of which stands for a distinctive word, while the three words compose an appropriate name. In '97, at the beginning of the school year, there were eight boys rooming on the fourth floor of Ferry Hall, all of whom were familiar with the haunts and retreats of that good old structure which has long since been re- duced to ashes. On account of their characteristic love of fun and their daring spirit, they were often associated in various undertak- ings which were performed at unusual hours. Finally, an organiza- tion was perfected. but it was no-t until after the burning of the dor- mitory that a constitution was adopted and the organization made complete. The object of the club is admirably set fo-rth in the pre- amble to the constitution, which is as follows: Wk, the members of this club, for the reason that the fo-llow- ing constitution is necessary and expedient in order to create and advance a dominant spirit of honor and mutual admiration and re- spect, iizfm' was to qualify ourselves for present and future services to our country in certain capacities, to reflect credit upon our col- lege. our honorable professors, and ourclubg to imbue the principles of true manliness and courtesy. for the promotion of our general welfare. for our mutual protection and to emphasize the noble prin- X'Suus of Consecratecl Liars. ro3 ciples of free speech andliberty, to which all other things are and should be subservient and subordinate, do solemnly establish this constitution for the S. C. Lf' Vlfhen the constitution was adopted the object o-f the club was changed. Regular semi-monthly meetings were held, at which programmes were rendered, consisting of debates and discussions o-n current topics, especially topics incident to the war with Spain. On February, 1898, the day after the Maine disaster, a special meet- ing was called to ascertain the facts and pronounce the verdict of the club on the great catastrophe over which the minds of the American people were so much agitated. The topic was thoroughly discussed, and as the meeting pro- gressed the enthusiasm increased. The climax was reached when a resolution was offered and passed condemning the treachery of the Spanish officials, and resolving that, The annihilatio-n of Spain and the freedom of Cuba is the only way of settlement. Louis Pohle offered to put himself at the disposal of the government so that the resolution could be made effective. His services were accepted and he at once reported for duty with the Idaho Volunteers. His regi- ment had no opportunity to take part in the war with Spain, but Cuba is free and since Louis did not get a chance to annihilate the Spaniards he is non' taking his revenge on their kinsmen, the Filipinos. He reports progress. The club has labored under difhculties so far, not having a suit- able place of meeting, and having regular society work to do in the college association. But they have benefited from their work in the past and have had many enjoyable times. They look forward to a more prosperous future when, with an increased membership, they will be recognized by the college faculty, given a suitable place of meeting, and a chance to reidect credit on themselves and the col- lege.

If a college expects to keep abreast of advancing schools and universities, if it would retain its good name and fame, it it would awaken and keep alive a love of oratory, it must turn its attention in some degree to the development of its ora.torical powers, and this interest is rightly centered in the Oratorical Association. As a necessary adjunct of our college the Oratorical Associa- tion plays an important part- in the roll of associations. VVhen the VV. A. C. emerged from the dim obscurity and humble beginning of the past into its present position as one of the foremost institutions oi learning in the Pacihc Northwest, there arose with it this asso- ciatio-n. Tis true that in the past the Qratorical Association has been somewhat overshadowed by o-ther organizations. Students have been slow to recognize and take full advantage of the oppor- tunities that it offers. It has been neglected to a certain extent. Nevertheless it has been like a great underground river, slowly, silently,' and invisibly wending its way to the mighty ocean. In the fall of 1897 the association was organized. I-Ieretofore the declamation contests were not strictly of the Gratorical Asso- ciation, but an important and essential part oi college work leading up to and preparing the way for its successor. Believing that in union there is strength, a league was made with the University of Idaho and Wfhitman College. The Oratorical Association of each college was to have a local contest in which the best orator was to betselecteid, and then the chosen one was to represent his college in an intercollegiate contest to be held at such time and place as should be agreed upon by the associations concerned. It was Nlfhitmanis good fortune to have the first contest at Wfalla Wfalla and the date as then chosen and since retained, was the last Friday in April. The VV. A. C. entered upon its work with a will. At its first local contest Miss Jessie I-Iungate received first prize. Accordingly in May, 1897, the hrst contest on the intercollegiate held of oratory of this Utriple alliancef, as it might properly be called, was held. Mr. XrVilliam lVorthington 'represented Xlfhitman College, Mr. Coffey 105 the U. of I., and Miss I-Iungate the VV. A. C. After the Hoods of oratory and eloquence had subsided and the judges had rendered their decision it was found that Mr. Coffey had won the EB50 cash p-rize, on the subject, '4The Man of Destiny. In the second inter- collegiate contest, which was held at Moscow, the orators were: Mr. G. McKinley from the U. of I., Mr. Proctor from VVhitm1an and Mr. joseph B. VVinston from the VV. A. C. Mr. Proctor, VVhitman's representative, secured the 3450 cash prize on the subject, 'fMarcus Vtfhitmanf' ' ' The winner in the local contest of the p-resent year, at the Wh A. C., was Mr. I.eo L. Totten. According to the manner in which the intercollegiate contests in oratory rotate among the three insti- tutions, it was now our turn and privilege to entertain the visiting representatives. As a consequence, much interest was manifested, and hope and belief in our representativels success ran high. Nor were we disappointed. Mr. Carl I-Iauerbach of VVhitman and Mr. Glen McKinley of the U. of I. reflected great credit upon their re- spective colleges, but o-ur hope was fulfilled and our joy complete when the prize, a beautiful diamond medal, was awarded Mr. Tot- ten, who told of The Emancipation of Labor. This is a brief summary of the events connected with the Ora- torical Association up to date, but as an outgrowth of its increasing influence, a debating department has been added and debates are held with the neighboring institutions. It is a cominendable fact that with the present year a new im- pulse has been aroused and great strides have been made toward a higher standard of oratory. The association is winning its laurels by hard work and by keeping constantly the end in view. It has become a part of o-ur college life and made itself felt by supplying a useful sphere. May success attend its every effort. IO6 THE BOARDING CLUB. The students of the WT. A. C. have numerous advantages that were denied those who attended the institution in the earlier days of its successful career. But the older students, most of whom are now retired, can recall one feature of the college life that has been missed by the present members of the college, that is, the pleasures of life gained by membership in a first class personally conducted COll6f1'C Boarding Club, with board at ten dollars per month, and a general strike if the cost exceeds that figure. Of course, there is still a Boarding Club, but it is nothing like- the first organization. Now we have a pleasant dining hall, divided from the kitchen by a passageway and swinging doors, white linen, bright silver, and all the conveniences of any first class restaurant, but then it was differ- ent. , ' ' The Boarding Club was a name to conjure with, a few short months ago, before the elements destroyed that noble pile kmiwn to the world at large as Ferry Hall and to the inmates as the wpen- itentiaryf, The very words, l'iBoarding Clubf' were a soundio-f terror to the boys who were fortunate enough to- live in the city, and many a bad boy has reformed under the power of the threat that if his conduct continued he would be compelled to board at the hall. Many a Sundayevening did Chappie Fox, Swede Fisher, Chemical Smith, Bill Todd, and others, file solemnly in, gaze despairingly at the table, and file as solemnly out again, with the words, XfVell, let's go down to the hotel and get something to eat. Most of us, should we live our allotted four score and ten, will never forget the indispensable None hundred choice sele'ctions, ' otherwise hash, .that formed the staple of our modest menu, Hash hot, hash cold, hash new, hash old, hash wet, hash dry, hashstew. hash fry. and various other styles of the same old hash, made them- selves dear to the heart of the student by their persistency, their unwavering sameness, and their attention and constant attendance at the post of duty. We often wondered what our respected professors of horticul- ture and agriculture would have done had they not been able to sell IO7 their surplus stock of all descriptions to the club. Wfhen the outside market for carrots. was slow, we had carrotsg when the market for onions was slow, we had onions, when the beginners over at the creamery turned out a hundred weight of experimental butter, we had fresh butter, when the prize stock of the farm had ended its days of usefulness, we had beef, chicken, pork, and it was whispered, horseg once we had eggs. Those eggs are still a memo-ry, dear to the heart of the ex-student. They were more powerful than we had thought eggs could be. They were, in fact, so robust, that we de- cided that the people on the farm had been saving those eggs for us for some years as a special and delightful surprise. They were not wasted, however, for they were fed to the training table members. The mention of the training table may remind some of the stu- dents of that very select organization. Tn theory, no pie was allowed on the table, no tea, no coffee, and very little of anything else. But, in reality, all those having seats at the neighboring tables had to keep their delicacies under timelocks or they went to fill the voids near the hearts of the athletes. A point of economy noticed by many was the manner of serving the onions. Wfe always had onions on reception nights, when the boys wouldn't eat them because they wanted a nice breath, and the girls wouldn't eat them because the boys wouldn't. Thus, ten cents worth of onions sufhced for the club, and expenses were kept down to the proper mark. On one occasion in the memory of the writer we had a little light bread. Some one placed a quantity of dynamite under the bake oven, and when his friends inquired why he had so acted he stated that he wanted to see the bread rise. Fortunately the oven was full of bread when the charge was exploded and no particular damage was done, as the half pound of dynamite used could not lift the bread far enough to enable it to hurt the roof. Some of us remember the time that Fisher, the Swede, lifted a pet snake from the dep-ths of his pocket, and pretended to have found it in the soup, and the lamentable effects on the appetites of some of the young ladies. Perhaps a few also recall how the cook was requested to take the beef out and kill it, to serve a cross-cut saw IOS with the chicken, and a few other little pleasantries of the same kind. But a college cook soon grows accustomed to such little expressions of delight and heeds them not. The strongest point in the menu of the club was the butter. The writer was a member of the club for about four years, and all of that time it was the same butter. Indeed, after the fire there was a rumor that the butter had been rescued and would soon be doing business at the old stand. And then we had beans. Professor Balmer had a job lot of beans that he was unable to give away, so, on behalf of the state, he sold them to the club. Ch, those beans! Shortly after their intro- duction to the club table a vote was taken on the question of eight dollar board or nine dollar board: two ballots read for eight dollar board, three read fo-r nine dollar board, and one hundred and three read for no beans. The beans were retired. As well as our oddities in the culinary line, we had them in the line of members. Mysterious Billy Smith, who was always at his post outside the door in time to be the first one seated in the hall, was not alone in his glory. He had rivals for the popular attention in the persons of l'Knifey, who gained his sobriquet through a pleasing practice of doing a little sword-swallowing act with his knife in the midst of the festive banquet, Wfalsh, who was ordered by Bill Todd to go see about the pancakes and did so without hesi- tation. and others, with pleasing traits and peculiar ways, many and fascinating. , lt was most comforting to hear from the faculty table requests to please pass the jelly, the cake, the cream, and so on, and then, when we made remarks about the quality of the food, to be told by the well meaning members of that respected body, dining at the hall, that they could find no fault with the food, as it was always well cooked and quickly served. They perhaps forgot that the students were not on the committee to hire and to fire cooks and waiters. Of course, that had nothing to do with the point. but some of the students were foolish enough to think it might. Any one making a statement to that effect was always promptly squelched, which word may not be good usage, but exactly describes the process. 109 One of the enjoyments of life at the period of the rise of the Boarding Club was the effect of the incomplete condition of the power plant. just as we were about to begin our evening meal, the electrician would begin to monkey ' with the dyna.mo, and the lights would fade peacefully away. At other times they were sud- denly cut off in the prime of their healthful glow and beauty, but the effect was the same. Darkness, so dense that it could be felt, would settle over the hall, and all would be silent for a moment. Then, from some far corner would come the'sound of a hearty kiss, pro- duced by some of the boys who never were kissed and never will be, and an instant later the hall would be hlled with cat calls, groans, and various demonstrations of approval and disapproval of the proceed- ings. As the lights slowly returned. o-ur honored professor of rhe- to-ric would rise indignantly fro-m her seat and move majestically from the room, with the remark that when the students had learned to act as gentlemen she would return. They must have been a very apt set indeed, as she always returned fo'r the next feast of reason and flow of soul. i - One result of the shortage of delicacies was the establishment of a system of exchange between the young ladies on the lower floors of the building and the boys o-n .the upper floors, whereby one Knowles was brought to grief. Mr. Knowles was a gentleman of most ingenious ideas. and one evening when he found a sack of ap- ples, which he knew from certain unfailing signs had come from Burnham's orchard, he was so moved to righteous indignation at the thought of the robbery that had been perpetrated on the old man that he promptly took charge of the apples. Returning to his room, he signaled the girls on the floor below, and began to operate the grapevine. Now the grapevine was a string, to which the ingenious Mr. Knowles would carefully attach one of the borrowed applies, and lower it to the floor below. The young lady would detach the apple, Mr. Knowles would wind up his little ball of yarn, and the performance would be repeated once more. VVhen Mr. Knowles decided that he had lowered enough apples he leaned from the win- dow and said, VVell, Sweetheart, that's all tonight. Then in sil- IIO very tones came the words, '-'Thanks, Mr. Knowles, Miss Howard and I will appreciate those apples, and glancing down once more, Mr. Knowles saw the placid countenance of our respected pre- ceptress. . Vlfe might, just here, sum up the peculiarities of the Boarding Club in three quotationsg the cooks could have said, with the Church of England people, 'VVe have done those things which we ought not to have done, and we have left undone those things which we should have done, and there is no health in usf, Then the bo-arders: Their's not to reason why, their's but to chew and die g and lastly, the committee, who, VVill meet with their reward in heaven. ' But while the Boarding Club was the cause of many an angry word from the ave-rage student, where would we have been without it? The food was wholesome, the quantity was sufficient, and the expense was light, and the members of the faculty who labored so hard and earnestly for the success of the club with no reward save the glow of their inner consciousness. deserve a great deal of com- mendation from the students who profited by their labors. The stewards and employes should be commended for faithful and pains- taking work in the face of disheartening odds, and the merchants of the town should receive their share of praise for the many kindnesses done the club. And, while the students passed unkind remarks upon the conduct of the club, they remained members, and appeared with great regularity at their accustomed places. VVhile they stated to the unfortunate ,committee that nothing was right. they brought their friends to dine and sup and they themselves grew strong and healthy and seemed happy in spite of the amount of grumbling they felt forced to do. So let us give justice to the Boarding Club. In spite of the failings that are inseparable from an organization of that kind, the club helped many a poor boy to the coveted sheepskin, taught many a student the dignity of honest labor. and around those old tables friendships were formed, the influence of which will endure when the old club is but a faint memory of its care-free, grumbling. happy members. III 75--4 .F , FOOTBALL TEAM A va4, -1-avagavo vu ATHLETICS. The present Athletic Association was organized April 18, 1894, with Peter Brown as president and F. M. Lowden as secretary. A baseball team was organized with S. B. Long as captain. Few games were played this year. In '9-L-395 S. B. Long was elected president and L. V. Co-rner secretary. F. 'W. Long was captain of the football team, which was co-niposed of the following men,: Lowden, centerg Kimel, right guardg Clemens. left guard, Chittenden, left tackleg Savage, right tackleg McCro-skey, left endg Hardwick, right endg Moore, quarter back, F.

Long missed goalg final 'scores XV. A. C., 10g U. of I., 0. The second game was played with the Spokane High School at S-pokane, with a final score of: Spokane 18, VV. A. C. 0. This was the first and only defeat that our team has ever suffered. In the spring of '95 a baseball team was organized, but no games were played. The annual-field day between the U. of I. and VV. A. C. was held at Pullman june Sth. 1895. No records were broken. VV. A. C. won the day by a score of 38 points out of a possible 50. McCroskey carried off the prize for the all-round athlete with fourteen points to his credit. V In '95-'96 F. M. Lowden was elected president of the associa- tion, Carl Estby, vice president, I. E. Clemens, secretary, Lieuten- ant Stockle, treasurer: and F. VV. Long, field manager. The foot ball team was compo-sed of the following: Lowden, C. and captaing Kimel, R. G.g Reed. L. G4 Clemens, L. T., Fisher, R. T., Moore, R. Eg McCroskey, L. E., Vlfinston, Q. B.g Long, F. B., Doty, L. I-I.g Brodie, R. H.: Hamilton, Mosely, and Goodsell, subs. The first game was played with U. of I. o-n home H6 grounds. U. of I. made a touchdown in six minutes by hard center line bucking, no goal. The second touchdown was made by Brodie QVV. A. CQ by a beautiful thirty-yard run. Long kicked goal. The score at the end of the first half: IN. A. C., 6: U. of I., 4. In the second half Doty CMV. A. CJ, with the assistance of a splendid inter- ference, made a forty-yard run through a broken field for a touch- down: no goal: hnal score: VV. A. C., 10: U. of I., 4. The second game was played with Spokane Athletic Associa- tion at Spokane on Thanksgiving. After the game with the U. of I. the college team spent its entire time in strengthening their line work. the result of which training was shown in the game with Spo- kane. when our team made hve touchdowns and three goals to Spo- kaneis o-ne touchdown and no goal: final score: IN. A. C., 26: Spo- kane, 4. The field day was held in Moscow and was the most exciting athletic contest ever held between the U. of I. and VV. A. C. The honors of the track were about evenly divided, but the U. of I. boys outclassed our boys in the field, U. of I. winning twenty-seven points out of a possible forty-five. The baseball team was composed of S. B. Long, catcher and captain: F. VV. Long, pitcher: Mosely, first base: McReynolds, second base: Crawford, third base: Vlfinston, short stop: Fisher, True and I-Iooper, in the held. The only game of importance was the one played with the U. of I. at Moscow, with a hnal score of 6 to 4 in favor of W1 A. C. In '96-'97, VV. VV. Doty, president: XV. C. Kruegel, vice presi- dent: I. E. Clemens, secretary: Lt. Stockle, treasurer: D. A. Brodie, field manager. Doty and Kruegel left.college at the end of the first semester, and M. P. McCroskey and Ed Kimel were elected to hll the vacancies. The football team lined up with jones. C.: Kimel, R. G.: Wfoo-ds, L. G.: Clemens. L. T.: I-Iooper, R. T.: McCroskey, L. E. and captain: I-Iamilton, R. I-I.: Wfinstoni B.: Doty, L. I-I.: Gammon, R. H.: Reed, F. B.: Goodsell, Loomisp Richardson and Sapp, subs. i The Hrst game of the season was played with Lewiston Nov. 10th on the home grounds, while a heavy rain was falling. The TI7 pigskin was so slippery that good football was impossible. It was in this game that Lyden of Lewiston was hurt and carried oft the held. The Final score was: XV. A. C., 26, Lewiston, 0. I The next game was played with Company C, N. Cr. TN., of Wfalla Vlfalla. The game took place at Colfax on Thanksgiving, with four inches of snow on the ground and the thermometer be-- low zero all day. In this game we had a chance to play against our old captain, F. M. Lo-wden, who lined-up against Clemens. He and Mark broke honors about evenly. The final score was: YN. A. C., Q45 Company C, N. G. VV., 0. The last game of the season was with Lewiston, on their grounds. Neither team scored in the first half. Both teams scored in the second half, the score at the close being: XM A. C., 63 Lewis- ton, 6. On December 19th was given the first indoor athletic enter- tainment. These entertainments, with a programme consisting of boxing, wrestling, club swinging, tumbling, etc., are one- of the at- tractions of the year. The baseball team for this year took positions as follows: Gillette, C.: Evans and Wfinston, P., Hooper, first base and captain, --- second base, Davies, S. S., XfVinston and Evans, third base, Stimel. Boatright, and--in the held. No college games were played this year. No lield day was held rfith U. of I. this year, but we held on the college grounds, May Qflth, an open held day. Many outsiders took part, but most of the honors were carried off by the XV. A. C. students. In '97-'98, jones, presidentg lvVinston, vice p-residentg Corner, secretaryg Brodie, treasurerg 'Mumni, Held manager. Vtfhen the Spanish-American war broke out Jones enlisted and Hamilton was elected to succeed him. The football team lined up with Field, C., Sapp. R. G.g Hyde, L. G., Clemens and Larkin, L. T., Vlfoods, R. T., McCroskey and Bucklin, L. Eg Hamilton and Troupe, R. Eg Winston, Q. B. and captain, Jones. L. lf-Lg Goodsell, R. Hg Loomis. F. B.: Cummingsiand Thorne, subs. The first game was at 'Spokane with the Athletic Club. Qui' boys made two touchdowns in the 'hrst twelve minutes. It was just 118 before the second touchdown thatfHamilton had his knee cap broken and McCroskey had his neck seriously injured, but they both played through the game. The final score was 16 to 8 in favor of the WL' A. C. team. f The second game was played with Wfhitman College of Wfalla Wfalla. Larkin was substituted forf'Clemens, who had left college, and Bucklin and Troupe for Hamilton and McCroskey, who were injured in the Spokane game. Our team secured three touchdowns and two goals, while VVhitman .made one touchdown. Score: YN. C., 16: Wfhitman, 4. ln january the association gave its second annual athletic en- tertainment with several new and interesting features. The baseball team for this year was composed of the following: L. R. Ruther- ford, C.: Wfinston, P. and captain: Vlfilliams, first base: Crawford. second base: Davies, short stop: Hamilton, third base: Proff, YN. A. Rutherford and Mumm, in the Held. The hrst game was played with our old time rival, the U. of I.. at Moscow. This was the most interesting game of the season. After eleven innings the score stood 4 to 5 in favor of KN. A. C. There was a series of games played with VVhitma.n and Colfax, NN. A. C. winning two of each three. In the held day YW. A. C. won thirty- six points out of a possible thirty-nine. This was largely due to the fact that the U. of L had lost many men because of the war. ln '98-'99, Hamilton, president: Goodsell, vice president: Woods, secret211'y,3 G. M. Palmerton, treasurer: V. E. Wfilliams, field manager. The following was the football line up: Hyde, C.: Pool. L. G.: Cummings, R. G.: Hooper, L. T.: Larkin, R. T.: Wfoods, R R.: Sapp. L. E.: Qffner, B.: Cwoodsell, R. Palmerton and B. E. Mashburn, L. T.: Hamilton, F. B. and captain: Clark. Proff, Baker and Clizer, subs. The hrst and only game was played with Wfhitman on home grounds. This was the hardest game our team ever had, which fact is shown by the score of O to O. NVoods was injured early in the game and Clark was substituted, this being the second time ini the history of XV. A. C. football that a sub was used. IIQ During the winter the association gave another athletic enter- tainment and Shakespearels Merchant of Venice, both being very successful. The students and citizens of Pullman, on one occasion, went to Moscow to see a football game between the W. A. G. and U. of I., but owing to a typographical error they all paid fifty cents and returned without seeing a game. QUADRUPLE ASSOCIATION OF MINING ENGINEERS. Early in September, 1897, the Quadruple Association of Min- ing Engineers was formed and officers elected as follows: Presi- dent, C. I-I. Goodsell, 'Olg vice president, D. P. Woo-ds, 'Olg secre- tary, L. R. Gillette, 'Ol 1 treasurer, I-I. Jones, '0l. Later Mr. Orin Stratton, T98 joined the association, and the next year Mr. PIT. Lynch and G. IN. Evans were admitted as members. The o-bject of the association is to study the mining and milling operations, the different smelting processes and the treatment of ores as carried o-n at different places in the world, also to investigate the countries no-t yet explored, with the object of ascertaining the probabilities of opening up new mining regions. Through the energetic manage- ment of Mr. Gillette and Mr. Stratton, quite a large library of .use- ful information was collected and the association advertised throughout the country. Business became so brisk and queries from many persons concerning different mining regions so numerous that it was thought best for some of the members of the association to personally investigate the countries which were exciting public interest. In june '97 Mr. George Evans was sent to the Klondike coun- try to examine it and to report on the interior of Alaska and North- ern 'British Columbia. About this time Mr. I. I-I. jones was sent to the Philippines to explore that group of islands and report on their mineral wealth. I20 Mr. Orin Stratton also took leave and is now situated at Hono- lulu. He will report on the minerals supposed to exist in the Sand- wich Islands. Mr. Gillette has been engaged in local work throughout the mining region of British Columbia and Wfashington. He returned. last semester and will prepare an elaborate report. During the absence of these members there remained o-nly two Irishmen and one American to carry on the business. Next year Mr, Lynch will Visit the tin mines of Cornwall, England, and rela- tives at Cork, Ireland. Mr. Wfoods will visit Butte, Buffalo Hump, the Seven Devils region, Colorado and Mexico. Mr. Cwoodsell will take a trip to lower Africa and South Amer- ica. As soon as the members have prepared their reports, which will be some time in the future, a book is to be published containing a full account of the mining operations as carried on in different quarters of the earth, as well as a description of the promising coun- tries which have been overlooked. ' There is no doubt but what this will be the most extensive scien- tific book ever written in regard to the mining industry.

Thanks are due to the extinct Col- lege Recordl' and the extant Evergreen, both of which have played their respective parts in the past and present greatness of the aforesaid great institution. History reveals the fact that the W. A. C. was first opened to the cold unfeeling public' on January 13th, A. D. 1892, A. L. 5892, at the hour of 9 a. ni. For the first few days the school was not a success. Why? Because there was no Circulating Mediumi' whereby a student or member of the faculty could ascertain wh-at was being said or done by another member of the aforesaid mass of human beings which numbered less than thirty persons in all. But cruel fate is not always sufficient to keep a good thing down. Qur fatherly and ,motherly faculty put their knowing heads together and taxed their faculties to the utmost, and as a result of their timely counsel, a meeting of the Young Ideas was called for january 25. The brains Qfacultyj and gall fof studentsj turned out en masse. The brains expressed themselves and the gall served as audience, due to the fact that the gall was rather green as yet in the managing of their own affairs, and the faculty served as a L'protectorate. After much discussion, pro and con, it was decided that the great and only VV. A. C. should have a paper-a real college paper with editors-and here the fun began. Everyone wanted the first plum and the HMO-dern Log Rol- ler, as he lobbies an appropriation bill through our state legisla- ture is only an amateur as compared with those would-be pen push- ers of '92 After due consideration and a number of ballots it be- came evident that a dark horsen would be the only peaceable means of settling theimatter. At 12 p. vm. a caucus was held andilittle Willie Barkhuff was duly doomed to be 'fhead push of the new en- terprise, which was soon afterwards christened The College Rec- ord. Willie the Scribe was a little home grown article from the rural districts of the state and was yet clad in kilt and pinafore, but felt as big as a man. The co-laborers on the staff were small chil- dren, viz.: Cynthia Eariss, Quimby Merriman and Wfooclhull Seaton I24 Van Doren. Cynthia prepared for the hrst issue an original article called Co-education. The article has never been plagiarized that we are aware of. Seaton prepared a few locals and here is the hrst one: Please pay your subscription or we shall be forced to sus- pend publication. Quimby secured a publisher and a few sub- scribers. From this date the college flourished, the paper flourished, the editors flourished, everybody flourished, excepting the printers. Vol. I No. I appeared early in February and was printed on cream satin, which has never been paid for to our personal knowledge. Qriginally, it was the design to workonly the regular force of edi- tors, but the plan was soon changed and everybody, the printer inf eluded, was properly worked. Vol. II was edited by W'illie Hull- a little boy from Corvallis, and he did pretty well. I-Ie had a large staff of editors at his disposal, every department being represented by a special editor and an assistant Cto do the workj. This was the time when prosperity was on the wane, but the Record kept up ap- pearances and enlarged to an 8-page paper. During the year the management changed a number of times and each time it changed the printer became poorer until hnally he demanded back pay. This was indeed a very bad move for the printer, as the paper suspended publication the following day and the printer has been out of em- ployment ever since. ' A Moral: Never de-niand your wages, if any be due, or you may lose your position and the debt besides. In February, 1894, it became evident that the future usefulness ofthe HC-rand Old XV. A. C. would be nit unless the college paper could be reorganized sans delay: so Wfill Todd, Loring Corner and P. Brown et al. hastened to the rescue and provided the neces- sary stimulant for the institution. A meeting of the student body was called and as a result llfillie D. Todd was given the high and honorable position of editor of the Evergreen, as the new journal was appropriately christened. Vol. I No. I made its appearance in March, '95. It was a very creditable twelve-page two-column paper, supported by a staff of seven editors. Vol. II No. I came before us with 16 pages with Freddie C. Dunham at the helm and the staff re- 125 duced to live, which number included the lighting editor. Vol. Ill No. I is increased in size by two pages and the staff reduced to two editorsg NVillie Todd at the pen and Charlie I-larlowe as Mephis- topheles. Cruel late soon reduced the paper two pages. No. IV ol Vol. III was edited by Charlie Harlowe as grand scribe, and Davie Brodie with the business end of the Evergreen in charge. Hallie jim Doolittle was held resp-onsible for the editorials and meaning- less college jokes in No. VI Vol. III and for the remaining issues of the volume. ' Vol. IV was carefully edited by I-Iallie Doolittle, who, by the way, did a great deal, with the assistance of Miss Snyder, Miss Bus- bey, I. Byrd' Wfinston, Milton Poet McCroskey, and Little Leo Totten, But never has the Evergreen been such a glowing success as under the management of the staff of Vol. V, with Lord Byron' I-Iunter and Little Leo Totten as editors, Della Allen and Qrville Adams as associate editors, Virgil T. De Wfitt Talmage McCroskey as exchange editor, Funny Fellow Nalder, local editor and poet, VVillie Martin Van Scliaack Duncan, B. M. Cibest manj, and G. M. Palmerton, bicycle agent. -Vive l'EVergreen! ix W Ni ff IX ' 194 ' I ffff l 'lf X XX. xii!

As all good things which come into the world survive tribula- tions and guile while they are being ushered into a cold medium of reality, so also must the chronicling of this fondling of senior wis- dom worry itself into the warm embrace of our welcome and fasten. if it can, its tender tentacles upon our heartstrings. It is not alto- gether chance which leads us to weave a garment for this promenad- ing infant. It is rather a duty: it is a heritage which has fallen upon usg it is an imperative command: it is necessary and we are glad to have the opportunity of recognizing this little mummy and giving it a place in our annals. Among the great so-cial events propagated and showered upon us by our Worthy predecessors, we feel sure this one was the mo-st far-reaching. the most profound, and certainly the most active. There is nothing in these warsome times which so inspires and feeds the body patriotic as the tramp, tramp, tramp of many scions- even in a promenade-and when we add to it upon this occasion the glitter of the tallow dip, the boxvery odorous with its tar, pitch and turpentine, and the strains of Schneiderls band, then surely the time has come for us to exert ourselves and Write a little history. As the outline of all we saw and experienced upon this occasion bounds about in our thought, we cannot but again be enthused with the pro- paganda in hand, for we are easily brought once more into the whirl and gyratings of the promenade. Wfe coyly stand again be- fore the beadle as he deals to us the fiery lemonade from the glassy depths-of the canteen. lNe see the array of guests who have brought their happy presence to grace the occasion. The giddy, the gay, the calm, the sedate, the critical, the thoughtless and the thought- ful, all are there and at their best. Here and there, also, are har- bingcrs not of the student body, for even professors seem to have entered the mad whirl and conspicuously vie in the exhilarations of the walking match. It is thus we stand, noting the company and watching the ladle, ladle out the beverage which makes the walking easier. lit is hcre we note also with an abrupt reality the presence of I27 a dear old friend. Our old friend is this senior punch bowl. But in what different circumstances from those enjoyed when last we met! lfVhen last we stood beside its glassy pedestal, its haunt was in the old biological laboratory. Its gruesome task was to curtail the creeping microbe and the slimy algae, its inmost soul was alive with toads and lizards, and its nook in the laboratory was fortified by students with dirk-like knives and glaring eyes as they reached within its portals to split the harmless, festive toads and study their anatomy. And as we recognize this last scene and no-te the trans- formation which has been wrought, we cannot but say to ourselves, How mighty is the god of fortune!J' How true it is that the crock of today becomes the toga of Bacchus on the morrow! How a garb and a decoration added to an humble lab jar makes it the trium- phal fountain to which the class of ,99 has pinned its fame for liquid hospitality! The greatest of Hood tides always recede to the normal shore line, however, and so also-the thought now co-mes to 'us- tha.t this truant canteen has receded to its old haunts in the labora- tory and today the little toads again play leap frog in the old bowl. Wfe spend what time we may with such a friend and reluctantly bid him adieu as we pass his hery gulf with its little tugs and liners of lemon rind anchored upon its vermillion depths, and we hurry on to other scenes which meet our view. We see again in our wander- ings among the company the aligmnent of our worthy hosts buckled in their walking sandals and do-ing the honors of their heritage. We do them homage as we reflect upon the deco-rative effect their recep- tive row has upon our Stevens Hall brussels and plush. We marvel at their versatility and atathe generosity with which they ply the en- tertaining hand. Vlfe chronicle the graces and eulogize the effect. We wonder if the world will ever treat them less co-rdiallyg and we wonder, too, whether we shall ever walk within the immaculate rail- ing of a promenade debut. lfVe wo-nder whether it will be said of us in some future time, that we changed the prosy glass front of a col- lege dormitory into a sylvan forest and lighted the bosky dells with pillage from the Qrient? Vlfhether it will be said of us that we marched our warriors two by two and filled the woods with cupids 128 and the air with strains from the german? Perhaps so, and if we do, we wish to have our names inscribed even as this true and worthy in- scription pays tribute to our worthy predecessors. The scenes and acts of childhood, from the moment of our responsibility, honey- comb our after-memory with details droll and make characters upon the gilded page of history. VVithin our college halls as years go by, there will yet be enacted scenes with details carryingall the droll and much of the gilded, and as- the chronicler wanders along and robs every pleasant memory of some cherished event which some future class shall have laid upon the social altar of their alma mater, we hope that our worthy predecessors, the class of ,99, will then read these lines and learn how minutely fair and unbiased has been the brief mention of their one great event. And with it all, we wish we might have more occasions to credit to the valor and ability of those who go before us. Wfe feel that the span of their labors has been altogether too short. The sounds of laughter, the joys of hospital- ity, the associations, the inspirations, the events have been all too few. The series of precedents which might win for the golden future a well beaten trail and guidance by which future generations might walk with ease and confidence is withal difficult to establish, yet as we, all of us, have held your hand over the social creations, as we have walked in your forest and quaffed at yo-ur fountain, we feel just alittle interested and perhaps a mite responsible for your success -or failure. l Q J ml W' fi ' W-4' M . 2 f . i . ,L i' A ' .2 I ,Q v ,, .Q M , , p , '11-f- ff A . ,I ll 9 129 .-wx Oelvxl fl Nu' 1 DQ o 7 'I . ff! fa y V ,, 51 0 vi? 9' f v f invbw X-5, ,Q E. w f wp ff f 'NM N. f Cf 'mx I '57 WEEREERN gfv C AIG SUGH PA cn 0 f-,IB QRIWGGQEED fi KK0 . fa, X X x u,X - WS W? x 145' 1 ee NX, 1.

W lc C fi ' e md had ne cut, rice, and prunes for supper and after we had watched the last fascinator disappear through the front door, and the heart-sick bunch grassers had breathed up the sigh, How sweet the thought, we'll meet again, a general dry sham- poo was indulged in, to bring the mind and stomach more in har- mony and pass the time away until seven o'clock would compel each one to betake himself to his little ,den of toil and no one but Brodie and the well beloved inspectors could stalk abroad. Stiff collars and blouses were then co-nsigned to their rest while sweaters and winter garments were invited to assist in the evening's study. Thelights soon ceased to light and after the usual lights o-u-t ' had been sung to the same old oft repeated tune, little two-candleipower kerosene lamps were generally set going to keep some keen-edged mischief from cutting the tender thread of thought. Once in a while a stray bit of steam that had slipped by the close fitting valves at the power house, would come hopping into a radiator and send a little refrigerated air whizzing through the stop cock into the room. But all this was required to keep things in their usual or- der. Some of the boys had already retired when those more thought- ful of the morrow were allowed to sing out Lights o-o-o-n, just before time for the wink. Now all the good boys Qincluding everything but Y. M. C. A. and S. C. LQ retired. Soon jones be- came anxious about his door lock, imparted his fears to Hyde and went to see about it, but somehow in the dark he unlocked it in- stead of locking it, and perhaps only those included in the parenthe- ses above can ever explain the reason. A bed leg on fifth had become somnambulistic and in its wanderings had thrown itself 132 upon the stairway and descended with shrieks and groans such as only a bed leg going down stairs can give rise to-enough to strike terror into any Froctor's soul. Soon after this, two shadows could have been seen hovering over jones' bed, and after one or two mys- tic signs, Hyde suddenly became heavy and jones light, but after Hyde's increased weight had thrown Jones four feet into- the air, it suddenly lost its effect and Jones descended, heavy weight that he was, with bended knee to the region where Hyde had his allowance of 'anne cutl' deposited. The back stairs rattledg one or two mat- tresses throughout the building sank from increased weight and some of the boys, with hunger still haunting them in their dreams, chewed bed covers with a vengeance, between snoresg while poor Hyde realized that jones' fears were confirmed and though not thirsty, he had found a spring in the bed, So passed the last evening in Qld Ferry Hall. It was now past midnight andiDuncan' Dunn awoke with the feeling that bed 'clothes in a tropical climate were a nuisance. He rubbed his eyes and then discovered that a radiance shone from his geometry on the table. The leaf that contained, If a plane is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines it is perpendicular to the other,', soon burst into flameg the result, as he supposed, of too much hard study in the evening. His thermometer was slowly rising. It had already passed the de- merit line and in desperation he thrust it into the water pitcherg but here he was seized with an iniordinate desire to move out and he be- gan to put his desire into immediate execution. He visited his closest neighbors, explained his desires and reasons and soon his whole floor had concluded to follow his worthy example. They were tired of the rule of Froctors and decided to move and move quickly. So a crash, mingled with the sounds of hurrying feet and a Babel of voices was borne to the upper floor. Bateman rolled over and muttered, Those fellows must be having a deuce of a time down on 'hrst !' VVish they'd let a fellow sleep, and then another snore, but Ring the bell! Fire! Fire 1 brought him to his feet, and al- though if he had been going to roll some new 'un he could have found the way out perfectly, he now stood bumping up against the T33 wall like the proverbial lodge goat. Vlfe now came out of our- holes like squirrels in the spring time. WVe for once had all the heat we wanted and could open our doo-rs as wide as we pleased. Some grabbed the ho-se and watched the little stream of H20 pour out about as fast as though some one were pouring it in at the other end with a bucket. Others went to the campus to see if it were really go-ing to burn, while most of them became infatuated with Dunn's idea to move. All became so sooner or later, and while this was going on many things were done that very closely resembled the ridiculous. Of course they were never known, it was only the sublime that came to light. Denton Crow was bothered for some time about his cuffs, but they turned up all right and he ap-peared upon the campus in due time in full dress. Hamilton and Mash- burn took time to sort their pictures and stack their uniforms in the middle of the room. Bateman, as he threw his watch from the third story ex-claimed, Catch .my watch! I'll bring my bed ! joe VVin- ston threw his wash bowl and pitcher from the window while his brother Crossen exclaimed with delight as he reached College Hall, T've saved the foiotballs and the coal oil can l But the leading feature was the trunk parade. There were big trunks, lit-tle trunks, old trunks, new trunks, filled trunks, empty trunks, trunks on shoulders, trunks being dragged, and trunks go- ing down regardless of costf, No one was directing the procession and it gave way for no one. Many the toe that was sore from its effects. Move and move quickly, was the sole pervading idea. Even Cummings found there was something he must obey, and moved. The beautiful part was, everyone moved in time, and we sat about on the campus during the last moments of Ferry Hall and warbled, There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight, without a ghastly face appearing at an upper window with a cry for help. We were the attraction of the hour. People from town who had never visited us before, came running to see us now. The young ladies called on us, and old men, who had not run a footrace for years, came near killing themselves in their mad rush up the hill. At last there was a terrific explosion! Dave had forgotten his de- 134 merit board and no-w Ferry Hall was no more. VVe decided then to hold chapel, although several hours early. President Bryan, however, was in his accustomed place with his contrary lock of hair several degrees nearer the perpendicular than usual. 'fThere were others with similar locks. Dudes were scarce and negligee shirts were in the rnajority, and upon' closer inspection they showed that they had all been made from a night shirt pattern. But we were all thereg some not quite as presentable as we would have liked, and after accepting the invitations of our kind town friends to spend the rest of the night, we left the chapel and after a last long gaze at the ruins of our old Dorm, and most of our earthly belongings, we wandered off down the hill to ind new hoines, with kind of a sad, longing feeling playing around our hearts. In the morning when we had to draw on our wet shoes without any socks, we found that the old Dorin. had not been such a bad place after all, and one of the poets who had escaped with his inuse exclaimed: 'fThings have surely changed, That is, so I've been told.

FACULTY VS. SENIORS. In the afternoon of Thursday, the 19th, the faculty, by mutual agreement, decided to celebrate the coming end of the four years, war which they have been waging with the seniors by a test of skill and awkwardness on the diamond. The game was called promptly at 2:30, Professor Fulmer being First at the bat. He knocked McCroskey a fly, which so surprised Mc that he fumbled the ball and let the professor score, to be ten- derly bo-rne to the lemonade stand by his friends. Wlebster made a Wild two-bagger strike, but got nipped in a cold-blooded commer- cial manner just before he go-t to second. Darrow took base o-n four balls, but got a fuse blown out just as he was about to make a com- plete circuit. Piper took base on balls, and scored. Heilemian tried to reduce the ball to its primitive elements, but had to content him- self with scoring. Wfatt clutched wildly at the air with the bat for T37 two chances, but finally struck and boldly scored, and was consoled by Miss Howard. Spillman nearly ended Umpire Pudge's career with a foul, but raised a crop of one score. HZSO4, lrVhole-arm Movement, Three-wire System and Botany each scored in their turn. Heileman was given a base to analyze on wild balls, but gave up the experiment and went home in disgust. Wfaller struck a ball at a tangent of X over McCroskey, but Mc got onto his co-sine, and caught him out, giving the Senio-rs the place at the bat, with VVhole- arm Movement in the box and HZSO4 behind the bat. McCroskey struck wild, took base and scored on wild balls. Tannatt took base on business-like curves. Doolittle fouled, struck fly, but was caught out by Piper. Philips' brief but dazzling career was ended by light strike, and he, too, was caught out. Miss Howard rooted till she nearly upset the lemonade stand, and amid mingled groans and yells from the crowd, the Seniors again took the held. McCroskey threw a cuiye which gave him curvature of the biceps, and Thompson succeeded to the box. Fulmer struck well, but Philips nailed the ball. Wfebster took first on strike, stole second on Senior strategy, and very nonchalantly walked over to third, but succumbed in the attempt to get home. Darrow made a good strike, but McCroskey's internal resistance was too high, and the current failed, giving the professors another chance to try their luck in the field. During the remainder of the gram-e, to go into the details of which would more than consume space and reader's patience, prac- tically the same tactics were gone through. Botany played him- self out early in the game, and our venerable Ph. D. took his place. The doctor is a star player and distinguished himself on various o-c- casions. The game went steadily against the aspiring Seniors until the end, when the score showed 46 to 14 in favor of the faculty. The most refreshing feature of the day was the lemonade stand, which, under the management of Miss Howard, refreshed the play- ers and a-mused the crowvd, besides assisting very materially in a Financial way. The great play of the day was made -by Tannatt, in the last inning, who actually made a home run. Observations and 138 criticisms by the crowd were numerous, and a few have been dished up for the benefit of the reader, which are as follows: Bugology Qlfloanej at the bat, and I-120 on deck.

While the world lies sleeping in Winter's arms 'Neath his snowy blanket of whiteg And the cold, cold spell of his icy charms Holds its frozen sway o'er hamlets and farms, And the frost glitters keen and bright, With a more subtle magic than Winter knows, I come up from the mild southwest To shatter the spell of the cruel snows, And loosen the world from their deadly throes, At the bid of my fell behest. V I whirl over hilltop and plain and dale In the burst of my hey-day glee, To banish the reign of King Boreas hale With the furious blast of my sweeping gale, And he hastens away from me. I sway the tall pines in the mountains high, And toss their crests in the air g Then down to the level plains I fly And greet the bare hills as I whistle by, With a promise of springtime fair. I dance o ' er the valleys in eddies and Whirls, And waken the sleeping earth g I kiss the red cheeks of the farmer girls, And ruthlessly toss their tangled curls, In my blustering, jovial mirth. And in my wake, in a jubilant throng Come the birds from far and near. They hear my voice as I whirl along, And hasten with chirp, and twitter, and song, To join in the season's cheer. The buttercups hear my airy tread And waken up out of sleep, And the bright-eyed daisy lifts her head, I7Vhile Crocus and snowdrop peep from their bed 'Neath their snowy coverlids deep. All Nature responds to my jovial call And Welcomes my cheery blast, Till all living creatures great and small Leap forth when I banish grim IVinter's thrall And Springtime has come at last. 141 , 9 at - ' I ,Q A IT BQ In u f .

Years and years ago, when the class of '98 lived and thrived in the W1 A. C., there were two youths of this illustrious class who thought themselves head push in everything. But many others were of an opinion exactly opposite to this. So said a Prep., Let's duck 'em, it'l1 do 'em good V' and thereupon a conspiracy was en- tered into by fourtstalwart boys to duck the unsuspecting of the class of '98. K Q conspiracy, Shamest thou to show thy dangerous brow by night, VVhen evils are most free? Q then by day 'When wilt thou ind a cavern dark enough To mask thy monstrous Visage? , This was in the good old days of Ferry Hall, when boys and girls mingled together at meal time in laughter and merriment in ' 147 the beloved dining room. It was on a Sunday evening after supper that the two youths in question strolled leisurely over to Stevens Hall with two young ladies. The night was dark and dreary, and it is said that cloud bursts often occur on just such nights. After bidding the la.dies an affectionate farewell, the young gentlemen returned, going by way of the rear north entrance of the Ad. building. Upon the balcony, just above the entrance, were sta- tioned the conspirators, each with an overhowing bucket of wa.ter. As they passed by on the walk below the very clouds of the heavens seemed to open, and such a dowvnpour of water was a thing entirely unexpected. I-Ielp! shouted the victims, as they were swept vio- lently off the walk. And oh, those Sunday clothes! Meanwhile the perpetrators ofthe awful josh retreated into the darkness of the Ad. building. And the Shakespearean quotations and Biblical exclama- tions from below resounded with increasing nearness through the chambers of the basement. Up, up, sped the miscreants until they found themselves in the tower behind a barricaded door. And up, up, came the victims, muttering in accents wild an-d broken. And then stillness fell like a buzzard's feather from the heavens upon the people below. A hurried consultation was heard inthe hall without, in whispers suppressed and tragic. At length retreating footsteps told the water throwers that the injured ones had departed from the scene' of action. Finally, issuing forth from the tomver, with empty buckets, they were met by a hostile demonstration from the victims, who. having provided themselves with a revolver, claw- hammer, and an old lantern, came charging up the steps with ter- rific determination. ' - But oh,i'what a fall was there l The revolver failed to revolve, the claw-hammer failed to claw, and the young gentlemen rolled down the steps with motion fearfully accelerated, Gathering them- selves together in the hall below, they tiinidly ventured to ascend the steps and observe their tormenters, but a palisade of empty 148 water buckets from aboye necessitated a hasty retreat. XfVhereupon all the water throwers made their escape by way of the rain pipe, ex- cept one poor fellow who in his excitement ran out onito the balcony and made a Wild leap into the darkness of the night. The next day one member of the institution had several scars on his face, but where he found them or how he came by them We are yet to learn. The true cause of this trouble was a small lump of jealousy that had grown up between the offenders and the offended. ssl 1 X , Qgbj ,., 1 4 4 N '- A Nt ' X f'-'H' C Xlflfir.

And the President spake all these Words, saying: I am thy loving father, which hath come out of the land of Indiana, to thee, my dear boys and my dear girls: 1. Thou shalt not prefer any college to this one. 2. Thou must not make unto thyself any 'lunder estimatew of the character of thy Profs., neither those that are literary, nor tho-se that are scientific, nor any that are connected with this college, for thy Profs. are jealous Pro-fs., visiting the iniquity of Nundervaluing their worth upon the student, even to his third and fourth college years. . 3. Tho-u must not consider the extra work 'given by Prof. Barry as vain, fo-r he will mark that student as incomplete that hold- eth his Work as vain. 4. Remember the Sabbath day to hustle, in itg in six days shalt thou do thy library reading, thy laboratory work and sit upon the benches, but the seventh day is dedicated to the Profs., in it th-on shalt write all thy essays, copy thy note books and get thy S-hakef' For during six days the Profs. read many books and make wondrous observations, but on the seventh day they compile their results. Wherefore the students are compelled to hustle on that day. 5. Write long and loving letters to thy parents, that thou mayest receive many bank checks from home, and thy days may be long within these walls which the legislature hath given thee. 6. Thou shalt not use ponies in Trig. 7. Thou shalt not flirt. i 8. Thou shalt not pla.y Hroughj' in football. 9. Thou shalt not roast thy Profs. 10.

The day is cold, and damp, and dreary, But our Professor, never weary With his pen sits grinily scratching. Wonder what new scheme he's hatching? Hath he some wierd, ghoulish vision ? Thinks he of some dire revision In his professorial station, Of next -Iune's examination ? W'rites he an order-the old Druid - For more of his loved gory fluid, 'With which he, in strokes and shadings, Devastates the final gradings ? My! But he'd raise Abe1's brother NVith my grades, some way or other, If he only saw the column I've been scribbling here so solemn. If he could but read, I fancy He Would swear in Deutsche and Francais I would tell him, but I mustn't, It's far safer that I doesn't. 154 Chem. Lab. How dear to rny heart are the scenes of the chem. lab., .VVhen fond recollections present them to view. The acids, the gases, the horrid reactions, And all the strange things that Prof. Fulrner knew. The test tubes, the bottles, the crude apparatusg My lab. coat, in which I'n1 sure I looked swell. The ever-sweet voice of the pleasant instructor, And e'en the bad odors which therein did dwell. The horrible odors, The far-reaching odors, The long-lasting odors 'Which therein did dwell. That ill-srnelling chem. lab. I hailed with great pleasure Qnitj As I rushed up the hill so as not to be late. I found it a source of an exquisite rapture, The pleasure of which no mere words can relate. But now far removed from that loved institution, I sigh with regret and weep brine tears as well, When I-go into English or elsewhere in the building, And catch a stray whiff of those odors so fell. Those horrible odors, Those far-reaching odors, Those long-lasting odors Which nothing can quell. 155 IOAKZ. IVIOTTO. There are only two kinds of jokes-a good joke and a Pro- fessor's joke. P FOOTBALL SPARKS, VVith football suit and football shoes And lo-ts of football hair, Wlith football cap,with tassel bright, And a football in your careg Wfith football phiz and football sand, Enough and some to spare, You really like it, don't you, Prof., Now tell nie on the square. Stranger-VVho was the man that the President took off his hat to just now on the steps? ' Guide-Oh, that was the Major. OUR COLOR S. The Freshman is of a verdant hue, The Sophoinore red, so warni and niello-wg The junior is of an indigo blue, - And the Senior's sort of a yellow fellow. Student at Dining Hall Qpouring contents of water pitcher into his coffeej-Here, waiter! VVhat's the niatter with this cream? VV-aiter-Oh, nothing, only the steward forgot to put in the coloring, 156 . Prof, SPllI1'113,11,H said Mr. Brodie at parting, I am indebted to you for all I know. Prof.- Pray do not mention such a trifle. Dormitory Boarder-I don't mind hash six times a week, but when it comes to putting raisins in it and calling it mince pie on Sunday, I draw the line. Father-If you pass your examination I will pay all your debts. Ed. M.-So you want me to study simply for the benefit of my creditors. Teacher in Public School to Scholar-Now, johnny, tell us what you know a.bout Croesus. Iohnn-y-Please, mum, college students wear 'em in their pants. Professor, what has become of Grenville Clarke? XNasn't he studying with the class last year? mAh, yes, Clarke, poor fellow! A hne student, but absent minded in the use of chemicals-very. That discoloration on the ceiling-notice it?,' Yes.' ' That's him. Look here! This isn't right. said Miss H- the other day in oratory. I-Iiow do you suppose you have spelled income?H Mr. Totten-I don't know. Miss H.-I-n-c-u-m. Mr. T.-That's funnyg don't see how I left off that Hb. First Prep.-Wfhat on earth does them girls wear those big black gowns for?

It has been a long time since we communed together and I am sure from the pile of letters on my desk that you have something to say to me. VVhat a delightful month june is. Wfhat a freshness in the air and a crispness that makes us all fee-l good. But you do not care for preface when there is so much more interesting matter, so I turn to the big pile of letters from cousins in every part of this United States of ours. The nrst on the list is Bess M. of Pullman, W'ash., who has no sweetheart and wants me to tell her how to get one. The only and true way for a girl to get a sweetheart is to wait patiently till he gets her. P. S.-I'm glad you have succeeded. Florence-Y ou showed courage and pariotismin consenting to let him go to war. It was of course inconsiderate in his friends to advise him to go. I-Iowever, as he will return, it doesnlt matter. Linnie G.-We cannot undertake to sup-ply you with outlines for essays. VVe would advise you to begin at once on something of your owng on any live subject. Mabel T.-I believe that Rosalia would make a desirable home, but I do not like to give advice about such matters. ' Daisy, B.-The best known remedy for freckles is the applica- tion of postage stamps on the fa.ce over night. In the morning re- move the stamps gently and the freckles will have disappeared. Qllie L.-It is perfectlyuright for you to talkiwith him in the chapel, if you wish. So long as you both understand there is no need to care what others may say. Gertrude-Your suggestion about entertaining the Y. M. C. A. at a whist party is a good one. Personally, I prefer fan-tan, but choose that which pleases most of your members. Annette-Yes. it is quite proper for two young ladies to go to Snake River with two gentlemen. but a chaperone should accom- pany the party, at least as far as the water's edge. II 161 Kitty-You failed to send stamp for reply. Wfe cannot answer by mail unless postage is enclosed for the purpose. Lucyle-I do not consider it an imp-ropriety for you to permit a young gentleman to hold your hand, if it is done in the presence of the preceptress or an elderly lady. ' There's the last one, my dears, and I ho-pe you will be pleased with the answers. Some of yo-u who are not answered separately will Find replies to your questions under other signatures, for bless your hearts, dearies, you all want to know pretty nearly the same things. By by till ne-xt year. TALKS WITH BOYS. fQBy Uncle Si.j A Van and Ed.-No ! I am decidedly opposed to boys of yo-ur age learning to smoke. The young ladies were perfectly right in refus- ing to allow you to walk on the campus. Virgil-VVhen your lady friend is visiting in the city it is very kind and thoughtful of you to offer your company for any affair that may take place. VF. Fielding N. wants to become a poet and sends some of his verses as samples. VVait patiently, my dear, for ten years yet, and in the meantime study th'e poems of the great po-ets. Yours are not nearly so had as some I am asked to judge. Mr. Bu-ch-The best Way to overcome bashfulne-ss is to forget self. Cultivate the company of the young ladies and they will help you to overcome any timidity which you may feel. L. 0. M.-Yes, it was very wicked fo-1' yo-u to clap your han-ds when the President announced that the minister would conduct the devotional exercises, but you will go to heaven just the same if yo-u are careful not to do it again.. 162 S. II.-You did right by not ordering the gown. A dress suit is much better, for it may be worn longer and upon all occasions, while a gown would be of no value whatever to you, either before or after graduation. F. F. N.-Your question was rather a puzzler, but I think I can answer it. In the study of entomology we find that the males are, as a rule, more highly colored than the females. The coloring is sup- posed to be for the purpose of rendering the male more fascinating in the eyes of the female. Now, just what freak of nature has caused it I cannot say, but I believe, yes, I am firmly co-nvinice-d that your case is the same as that of the butterfiy. Your hair is no-t red fo-r nothing. A. T. W1-You were wrong in speaking to the younvg lady in the library and the librarian was justified in calling you to order. If it were necessary for you to speak to her you should have written her a note, fold-ed it neatly, and handed it to the librarian with the request that as a personal favor, she deliver it to the young lady for you. VV. D. O.-I do not believe the tall gentleman who calls at her home so frequently really intends to make- himself yo-ur rival. I-Iis calls are probably of a business character. Ed. M.-Yes, but although ladies' co-mpany is indispensable to you, you should be true to your absent lady love. Xx Sei-lx ' xkx N B f ix- WW' a ff!! Q ,f xx ,gff X x ll fairy?

M just stands for Morrison, And for McCroskey, too 3 And, speaking of your couples, I guess that they will do. N clearly stands for Nalder, Whose nickname here is jim. There's nothing very special That we might say of him. O stands for his friend Outman Who, almost every day, While going home from college, Finds a Daisy on the Way.

Before I am stowed away for future reference, and while there is still a warm place for me in your hearts, and a feeling of gratitude for this reminder of college days, allow me to call your attention to a few of my friends who have been help- ful in making me what I am. In doing this I would express my sincerest thanks to Professor Fulmer, whose interest and assistance have made the Annual possible 3 to the Iunior Class, for its hearty support, and to those members of other classes, who have so kindly helped in many ways. To the staff artist, however, and to the board of editors and business manager does the largest part of the credit belong. They have stood by me faithfully, willing and eager to undertake whatever task was assigned them. My wish is that succeeding Annuals may End as many friends and supporters.
