The land that I know and love the best— The land of the bold and free. And I’m a child of the fair Palouse, The Eden of the earth, Where the soil is eager to produce The farmers fear no dearth. I am a child of the Evergreen State, Fair Washington’s my home, Though from Steptoe Butte to the ocean’s gate At Puget Sound I roam. I ' m a child of the college on the hill. Not far from Pullman town. And ’tis for her my cup I fill— For her I drink it down. 8 Mangold Frazier Miss Wilson Martin Mrs. Strong Rosen berger Laurence llloor Jarvis Whitney NEW MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY WILLIAM H. LAWRENCE.

TO COLLEGE FRIENDSHIPS Better than treasures of manhood ' s years Are college companions jolly. Far better than childhood ' s golden years Are loyal friends and true. Sweeter than all are the days of “now With their work and their fun and folly. Come now, let us toast the present and roast Every man with a spirit blue. Here ' s to the girls of Pullman town, Here’s to the boys so gay; To jolly companions drink it down, Friends of our college days. Here’s to the spirit of college life, To the hearts that are light and free; Here’s to its jollity, fun and strife, To its rivalry, pranks and glee. Pleasures of affluence can’t compare With the fun we have had together. Funniest, best are the pranks we played, Pranks that we’ll ne’er regret; Truest and deepest the lessons learned, Impressed on our minds forever; Our glasses we’ll raise to student days— Times that we’ll ne’er forget. Here’s to the Profs, we love so well; Here’s to those that we don’t; Even to those that give us D’s, But better to those who won’t. Here’s to the Preplets’ feeds we’ve swiped; Here’s to the beds we’ve rolled; Here’s to the “rookies” we have ducked; Here’s to the pranks untold. Here’s to the class of nineteen four, W. A. C.’s boast; Here’s to the class of nineteen five. To them we will drink a toast; Here’s to the class of nineteen six, Long may they live and thrive; Here’s to the class of nineteen seven, Luck to them while they strive. 12 ‘ ' •fcvivhGm fp.

O do not end this happy Freshman Year, Till ninety hearts in song both clear and sweet, Pay tribute to your kindness and your age. For you it was who gave the Freshman Year, With all its youthful joys and jollities, Successes, triumphs, victories, battles won, Complete, in fact, with all attending bliss. And since we scorn ingratitude as base, We now in song our thankfulness would show; And yet in this desire our aims but fail, For song, although the language of the soul, Can not express the fullness of our hearts. If future clouds cast shadows in our sky, The memory of this long and happy year Will flood the sunshine through our hearts again; Will make our paths less difficult to tread, And cause the loads we bear to seem more light. And when our locks now dark have turned to gray, And sight once keen has grown both weak and dim, Life’s pleasures then will rest in thoughts of yore, When we to grief and age were yet unknown. Then will we turn our thoughts to memory’s realm, And gazing through the gathering mist of years Upon the paths we trod while yet in youth; The brightest spot upon that happy shore, Will be undoubtedly the Freshman Year! The year is almost gone, yet e’er it’s past, Let’s fill the air with one tremendous cheer! Let Freshmen sons all hail the Freshman Year! Our song is sung, our tribute now is paid, And Time no longer waits but passes on. And doing so reminds us that we, too, Into the unknown future swiftly go. O would the gods on us compassion show, And give us but a glimpse of times to come. We long to pierce the veil which shrouds that land, And sec what Future holds in store for us. Look! Let us see, for Fate, most good and kind, In answer to our longings and our prayers, Has called the mist away, or drawn the blind, Which veils the future from the eyes of men! There through the portal of the happy Now, The future lies—let’s see if harsh or kind. Three monuments are seen upon the sand, Three milestones more that mark our college days; The Sophomore, the Junior, Senior years— And next a blank—then in the sky appears Reflected light as from some sunny shore, But that we fathom not. And here nearby, At first o’er looked, and yet how plain in view, In transverse course a caravan appears. Interpreted reveals that close at hand, The marts of trade, to lead us from our goal, Will cross our path with rubies, pearls and gold. Deluded if we follow in the train We’ll miss the path that leads to yonder light, And never taste the sweets of Knowledge Land. Resolved, then to shun the snares of Trade Let’s set our faces firmly toward the light. And then the path which we will travel o’er Will lead us by those massive pyramids. And as we pass those mounds of knowledge built, We’ll learn the mysteries which the three contain, And having passed the third, the Senior Year, The way to that bright land most clear will be. And once we reach that land, called Wisdom’s home. The World will give to each the crown, Success. Then let the Senior Year our watchword be. Let Freshmen sons all hail the Senior Year!

Close beside a crumbling wall, Lies a grave, a silent witness Of the death that comes to all. Standing near it, in the shadow of a gravestone’s mossy place, Stands a man of wond’rous aspect. Snow-white beard and bending grace. In one hand he holds an hour-glass; Slow the sand is trickling through, Telling of the hours and minutes Left each life, its work to do. In his left he holds a sickle Shining, bright with constant work; Never in his hourly harvest Is he known to halt or shirk. As he stands here, in the moonlight On the stones he reads these lines, As his thoughts were backward turning He recalled the Freshman times: “Here we laid them, gently laid them, In the spring of nineteen three, Each and every Freshman fancy, For today wise Sophomores we. May they lie here ne’er to waken; We’ve outgrown them every one ; We’ll not need them now: the struggle Of the Sophomore year’s begun.” 18 Old Father Time stood musing; His eyes were sharp and clear; Fie scanned the graveyard quickly, As he wiped away a tear. He viewed those silent marbles Which watched the sleeping dead: At last he spied another grave And sadly turned his head. Then with slow and silent movement Left this Freshman grave alone; Went and stood beside the new one; Stooped and read the new gravestone. Here he found this carved inscription. Lettered clear, that all might see, Chiseled deep in best of marble, From the weather stain still free: “Flerc we laid them, gently laid them,. In the Spring of nineteen four. Each and every Sophomore fancy, For we ' ll never need them more. “May they lie here ne ' er to waken: We’ve outgrown them every one; May they rest in deep oblivion. For the Sophomore year is done.” sdmmREs $T [ eTS n,y3eTiy ]n 077Tpse ' n.

Though the way was long and weary; though the slippery way was steep; Though many a friend and fellow dropped into oblivion’s deep; Yet the pleasure of the passage to the height of learning’s hill Holds enthralled our memories ever, ever told with rapture’s thrill. Long we’ll ponder o’er the parting with the friends we know and love; Long we’ll wander round the campus where we’ve studied, played and strove; Slowly, sadly we will gather souvenirs of student days. Gathering fondly with our hearts sore; groping with our minds in haze. Dear old college, Alma Mater, dear old home of happier years! With trepidation deep we leave thee, with mingled hopes and fears. May you ever be the Mecca of men and women strong and true, Who seek the strength to do and master, which “nineteen four” received from you. 24 - 4 5t ifixmar), 24k (t.Cdori i, QkrkrjJ A Ctfarlu. filGOm A.titlWltnseit, A. £. y i berh OH OiJdtwk 1116. ilimrt A fya nU ' uw, jC A (Till 114 ) ut 4 ]Wn, jlitfelfr AJ-V ouito, SENIORS ZELLA E.

His hand was grasped by the eager throng. “A man who has for his country bled Shall be feted and fared as life is long.” “The ground was red.” old Bill began. “Spare, spare the details of the fight; We know the battle how begun And how fought out in dead of night.” “Earth roared and shook,” continued Bill. His new found friends besought him cease, Until of fare he had his fill, Assure d of comfort, care and peace. “And now,” they said, “Tell of the fight; Tell how the dreadful war was fought; Tell how the foe was put to flight, And peace by patriot’s blood was bought.” Old Bill looked dazed; his red hair rose, He thought of what the truth would bring He saw the eager throng enclose; In fancy saw himself aswing. “I am a ‘Vet,’ ” he slowly said— “A veterinary surgeon,— With blood of mules the ground was red, The mules I operated on.” The crowd rushed up, old Bill was seized. And soon was swinging ’gainst the sky. And now their anger fierce appeased, They turned away with sobbing sigh. “To think,” they said, “we honor showered Upon the doctor of a horse, While thinking that the swaying coward Had blazed the path to freedom’s course.” “His meet dessert we now have given To usurper of cognomen Vet; That we had not his members riven Will be our only long regret.” 34 £ This illustrates a story true, A Pharmic’s mournful tale; It shows how very clever men Will nearly always fail. He said they should learn chemistry, And to these damsels broke The news of nitro-glycerine, But he went up in smoke. Now all you Pharmics everywhere, Please ponder on his fate; Be careful in your school-day larks, Lest you disintegrate. And should those beauties visit you, In what you do, take care; For Paradise is not enjoyed, By vapor in the air. 37 to Weil Is ET]ca jTl|acGil(jflj Q HeiWt GGT ffct ) lELR erts Jesfel et irises T atKip1 EIJ We1] S.ELJa ne k Skrerrxe J iCWf0ple Uerd j SreoKs,. The Pharmics in an olden age, When Alchemy was all the rage, Sought many methods, hot and cold, To turn this mixture into gold. How different now in our day, When reactions chemical display To us our nonsense, if we think Gold can be made from lead or zinc. Yet from this mortar we will get What you would likely not expect; This simple means provides us “dough, And so you see “we’re not so slow. 40 ELEMENTARY DEPARTMENT We are Preps. In the new era that has just opened in the history of the College, high authority has bestowed upon us the cognomen of “Elementary,” but we love our old name the best. Preps! When our foot-ball men have won still more fame and our debaters and orators have reached still higher planes of excellence, then will you, who now look upon us with scorn or indulgence, be proud to say: “We knew them when they were Preps!” But far be it from us to boast! Under the watchful eye of “Prexie” and the sympathetic guidance of Prof. Sampson, we are more and more attaining the measure of our ideal—a college student. 42 Roy Anderson N. J.

Larson THE COLLEGE YEAR N the 25th of March, nineteen hundred and three, the editors of Vol. 4 of the Chinook hastily scribbled the last sentence in their calendar, “Spring vacation be¬ gins ’ and, with a sigh of relief, bundled the manuscript off to the printers, and a considerable load of responsibility upon the shoulders of the unoffending class of ' 05. It was then that our trials began; nor were they to end for many days to come. By right of inheritance, tile task of chronicling a year of college his¬ tory became ours, and we accepted it with an enthusiasm born of ignorance of the work before us. However, a few days were to pass before our work really began. Spring vacation, those few days of precious freedom when no one at college is supposed to work, were ours, as well as every other student’s to enjoy; days in which one has invariably planned to do a lot of work, but which are as invariably spent in easy idleness. Yet, vacations are not all enjoyment and freedom from care. There is, during short vacations (and this vacation was no exception) ever an annoying consciousness that exams, are not far off. Even in one’s most hilarious moments he can not escape from those pestering mental suggestions which, like the flies that bother a mid-day sleeper, keep him con¬ tinually and annoyingly aware of what he would forget, and occasionally waken him from half-indifference to the pos¬ sibility of a “flunk,” to the full realization of its awful conse¬ quences. Any one who has passed the Freshman year well knows the anxiety caused by this awful sense of foreboding ill- The Sophomores have felt it, at least one did to our personal knowledge. Even the Juniors are not free from its peace disturbing influence. Only to the Seniors is permitted the unmixed joy of a perfectly care-free vacation. Oh! for one hour of the Senior’s placid assurance! But holidays are the best days after all; and, in this case, as in others, we turned reluctantly to our work. On March 30th the regular routine of college work be¬ gan, but with one important change. L. V. Corner, registrar of the college since ’98, left Pullman to take a position with a mercantile firm in Montana. It was with sorrow and regret that we bade him farewell, who, by genial good-nature in his intimate contact with us, had won our lasting friendship. APRIL. April 1. Again we were called upon to bid farewell to 011c who for many years filled a large and useful place in college life. Although remaining one of the social circle, Miss Downs severed her connection with the every-day life of the college by resigning her position as private secretary to President Bryan. During her long connection with the W. A. C. as student, registrar, and private secretary to the president, she has endeared herself to hundreds of young men and women. April 2. Opening game of baseball at Lewiston. Score: Lewiston 3, W. A. C. 2. 56 April 3. Byron Stimmel undertook to solve an original problem at Oakesdalc. Lemma: If you are smitten with the charms of a young lady at the Glee Club concert and ask to escort her to her carriage—only to discover on reaching the street that she didn’t come in a carriage—is it necessary to escort her home? Problem: If it is a mile and a half on a muddy road from the opera house to the girl’s home by carriage, how far is it after dark? (a) When you are going home with the girl? (b) When you are returning to town alone? Solution : Given a pretty girl at the opera house without a carriage; a good-looking, well-intentioned young man (that’s Byron) ; a muddy road one and a half miles long by carriage. To prove: (a) It is less than a mile and a half when going home with the girl; (b) It is more than a mile and a half when returning to town alone with a borrowed lantern. Corollary: It is not always necessary to borrow a lantern to find your way home. Note.—Stimmel has taken the observations and data for this experiment, but has not yet written them up. The an¬ swer will be published in the next Chinook. April 4. Try-out for track team. April 6. The 6th of April was made forever memorable in the annals of the W. A.

A hearty welcome to “Jim.” All day an air of mystery had pervaded the atmosphere of the region of Person’s room. Strange signs and actions had been noticed among certain prominent Webs. Shortly after 7 o’clock, Person, accom¬ panied by a number of husky guards, emerged from his room carrying a large grip which, when not carefully carried, emitted sounds as of bottles clinking together. The party made a hasty procedure to the Webstcrian society hall, where the lights were turned on, the curtains pulled down, the door locked; and, for several hours, sounds were heard that gave evidence that a jolly good time was being enjoyed. Suddenly the sounds ceased and from the front door issued a long column of forms, which, from the whiteness of their raiment, might have been taken for ghosts. The power of their lungs, however, and the volume of their voices, would soon have dispelled any such fears; for, huddling close together, they sent forth a yell that no doubt caused their namesake to turn over in his grave. They then proceeded to Stevens Hall, and, after serenading the inmates ot that institution, departed for a trip over town, finally parting in the wee small hours of the night to the tune of: Yell, boys, yell Ruh! Rah! Ree! Webster! Webster! Debaters we! Keno! The peanut hulls and the bottles scattered in profusion over the floor of the “Web’ ' Hall the next morning gave evi¬ dence that there had been a peanut drunk in that vicinity the evening before.

Soon the rumor was verified and the constable waited on Proff, Ockerman, Patric and others and demanded that they appear before the above officer and show cause why they should not be dealt with to the full extent of the law. Lining up before the human iceberg, they offered various excuses, ranging from Ockerman’s attack of the gout, superinduced by excessive use of dormitory fare, to the operating on a helpless kine for appendicitis and a homeless and friendless feline for “concussion of the brain.” These good and legitimate excuses to the contrary notwithstanding, the officer, assuming his most lethal expression, handed out fines in congealed bunches. Thereupon Proff, Ockerman and others agreed, each with himself, that in the future when duty called they would “h ike” themselves to the armory with all due speed consistent with the condition of walking and the schedule of the 0 .

Victory for the W. A. C. in In¬ terstate Oratorical Con - test at Walla Walla. THE WEBSTER-HAYNE DEBATE. Peace, as well as war has its defeats and victories Crises come in the legislative life of a nation as great in opportunity, as big in consequence, demanding as cool heads, as clear minds, as brave and loyal hearts as do the crises of battle. Such a crisis was the Webster-Hayne debate. That moment bore the fate of the nation. The Union had become divided by a geographical line. The rent between the North and the South had widened into a chasm and the chasm into an abyss. The champions of slavery, confident in the finely woven theory of state sovereignty, now for the first time car¬ ried the war on the Union into its very high temple, and planted their banners boldly in the Senate of the United States. Hayne, the gallant cavalier of South Carolina, was the chosen leader. Gifted, polished, brilliant, he had come into the Senate like a meteor, reinforcing the masterly logic and fatalistic purpose of Calhoun with the energy of enthusiasm and the power of splendid eloquence. He had all the qualities of a natural and finished orator, a graceful figure, a strong, almost handsome face, possessing the noble dignity of one bred in an atmosphere of lofty chivalry, “bearing a revolu¬ tionary name, pathetic in its memories.” He was easily the South ' s greatest champion. In a speech on the nineteenth of January, eighteen hundred and thirty, he made a bitter at¬ tack on the East in a strong endeavor to make common cause with the West. Two days later he followed this with a denial of nationality and urged with terrible earnestness and power the doctrine of nullification. Holding to the letter of the con¬ stitution, he denied its spirit; denied the power of the federal -government and brought the nation to trial for its life. The attack was sudden and unexpected. It came like the shock of an earthquake when all the elements of nature were at rest His argument, urged with all the power of his brilliant oratory and the magic of his personality, seemed almost irresistible, yet its recognition meant disunion; it meant that all the constitutional development of half a century was to be swept into oblivion; that the future greatness of the nation was to be sacrificed to the selfish, time-serving interests of the worshipers at the shrine of the unholy idol of slavery. It meant that American unity, that grand and glorious principle, hallowed by all the sacred memories which clung around Lexington and Bunker Hill: that priceless legacy bought by the sacrifice, the blood, yea, the lives, of our patriotic forefathers, was to be subverted and overthrown, not by force of foreign foe, but by the ingratitude of forgetful posterity. Far-seeing statesmen saw this and trembled, fearing that no one would be found able to answer the awful charge, in defense of the Union. For three days an anxious, excited throng poured into the city. Men who had served their country well in time of need came, gloomy and despondent, with hope and fear struggling for the mastery in their breasts, as if to hear the death sentence of a loved one. On the morning of the twenty- sixth, the Senate was crowded to overflowing with a nervous, expectant throng, tense with subdued excitement, waiting. The awful suspense of that moment, big in its power over the nation’s destiny, was intense. A hush of anticipation fell over the great audience and men leaned anxiously forward as Daniel Webster, the “Grand Old Man,” rose with stately dignity to make the nation ' s defense. The calm composure, the absolute confidence of his manner, the majesty of his leonine manhood put all fears at rest. As the deep, musical tones of his voice swelled with “melodious cadence” through the great audience, men settled back in their seats to listen in wonderment to the flow of eloquence which came “like a stream of molten gold.” He was in the prime of manhood, “a magnificent speci- men.” His whole life had been a preparation for this critical, crowning event, and now he stood, the very embodiment of “massive energy” and conscious power, facing the nation’s enemies, to answer the awful indictment. By a happy, figurative allusion to a storm-tossed mariner, the audience was made to feel the grandeur of his theme. Then rising to the heights of his great argument,” gathered from the choicest thoughts of twenty years, he delivered a speech full of logic, sarcasm and burning eloquence. He argued not from the letter of the constitution, a mere piece of parchment, hut from its spirit, a living, vital force, a principle firmly rooted in the hearts of twelve million people; not a contract, but a bond of national life; a bond too closely connected with the great, throbbing heart of the nation, to be broken without bloodshed. There could be no disunion, “no placing of liberty first and union afterwards,” but “Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable.” Then eloquence rolled back the curtain of the future and he pictured the nation a. it would come to be tinder the constitution, with its emblem “still full high advanced, its arms and trophies streaming in all their original lustre, not a stripe erased or polluted, not a single star obscured.” Thus was New Engand, the Union, and the constitution triumphantly vindicated and Haync more than answered. When the last notes of his voice had died away, men forgetful of all but the speaker’s words, with dimmed eyes and swell¬ ing hearts, turned to grasp their neighbor’s hands in mute sympathy, conscious that the nation had found a defender, and the Union was secure. We date the birth of our nationality with the fourth day of July, seventeen hundred and seventy-six. This, in reality, is not true. For, when the constitution was adopted by a vole of the States at Philadelphia, there was not a man from Maine to Georgia, who regarded it as anything more than a contract. And Hayne was not far from right when arguing from constitutional grounds, with the precedent of the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions, he said: “The true nature of the Federal constitution, therefore, is a compact to which the States are parties.” Whatever the constitution meant in eight-seven, it had come to mean an entirely different thing in eighteen hundred thirty. Webster saw this. He realized that it was not a question of logical deduction, but a question of moral and political right or wrong. He set forth his conception of the Union as it had come to be. and gave passionate expression to the dormant patriotism and national pride which found a ready response in the hearts of the people. That day the nation was born again to fuller life. The national instinct, in quick response to Webster’s call, sprang into conscious being, as did Lazarus at the call of his Master. There had been no nation till then, but now the thoughts of nationality crystallizing around these noble sentiments, so grandly expressed, of “Liberty and Union,” went on broadening and deepening, gathering force and patriot meaning, till thirty years later, they guided the nation through the dark valley of civil war to the heights of final triumph beyond. Those sentiments were always the silver lining to the clouds of despair, and those principles the sustaining force upon which Grant took Vicksburg and Sherman marched to the sea. Aye. more, when the war was over they took the sting from defeat and tempered the triumphs of victory with kindness and fellow-feeling. They sent a reviving wave of national pride over the South, making the victory not the North’s, hut the nation’s. Reconstruction became possible and today there is no North and no South, but a nation—one in spirit and in purpose, with one language, one law and one hope. Amphion, it is said, built the walls of Thebes with the music of his lute. Fanciful as this may be. certainly it is true that no nation ever rose in glory and majesty except to the music of some common, grand purpose. All honor to those who, in the sweat and pain of labor, built the walls of our Federal Union, but the highest praise and the greatest honor belong to those who furnished the inspiration. To add by force of arms or power of leadership to the material greatness or the martial splendor of the nation is a glorious deed and worthy of the people’s gratitude. But to furnish a national ideal, to give expression to sentiments which will give the strength, the stimulus and the unifying energy of a mighty purpose is the highest honor to which a man may aspire in the service of his country. Such an honor belongs to Daniel Webster. May 2. Track meet at Moscow with U. of I. 440-yard dash—Godman, 53 4-5 seconds. Running high jump—Person, 5 feet 5 inches; W. A. C. record.

Among the famous armies of the world, from Napoleon’s to Coxey’s, must be numbered the army of the Cadets went to Spokane. in W. A. C. cadets, which, on the 25th of May, 1903, made its triumphant entry into the city of Spokane. On the march from the armored train to the camping ground, the famished host was halted to await the arrival of the Commissary De¬ partment. This soon made its appearance in the form of Commissary Robinson with a wagon load of “Mother’s Bread” and several links of dessicated dog meat. Thus, internally reinforced, the noble band made its way to the banks of the roaring Spokane and settled down to the routine of camp life. On the morrow the entire force was transported to the city to greet the Soldier President. Teddy, the Rough Rider, a thorough judge of soldierly qualities, grinned his appreciation as he bared his head in passing the intrepid army of true and tried cadets from Pullman. At night the dreary monotony of camp routine was broken. Numerous unsophisticated youngsters were granted permission to visit “relatives” in the city, but over-stayed their leave, and on their return found the way blocked by incorruptible sentries. 7o The unfortunates, in their dire extremity, bethought themselves of various expedients that might be resorted to by honorable and courageous soldiers. Dignified “Dad” Jellum trusted to the length of his legs, but it was a case of mis¬ placed confidence, for poor “Dad” was caught and ignomin- ously cast into the guard tent. Krcagcr adopted similar tactics with better success. Chased to his tent by a vigilant sentry, he turned over in his blankets in response to a gentle prod with a bayonet, and with characteristic meekness and veracity, sleepily inquired what was the matter, calmly swear¬ ing by all that is military that he had been in bed three hours. Numerous other indiscreet warriors were caught and were politely but firmly conducted to their lodging in the over¬ flowing guard house. On the next day a wholesale jail delivery was averted only by the coolness and vigilance of the guard- “Weary” Willie Wallis, on account of conscientious scruples and con¬ stitutional aversion, refused to work out his sentence. In a frantic desire for sweet liberty he made a daring dash across the sunflowers and gravel. After a thrilling pursuit the desperate man was captured, and as an impressive example to the whole army he was compelled to rake the straw from the company streets. After three days of such strenuous existence and a diet of prunes, beans and coffee—coffee, beans and prunes—the survivors struck their tents and the campaign of 1903 became history. JUNE. June 1.

Who among the jolly throng that collected on College Mill that day will ever forget it? The morning had been just cool enough to be invigorating, but by nine o’clock the stillness of the atmosphere and the rays of the June sun had conspired to make it too warm for comfort any place but in the shade. On the west side of the Ad. building, where the morning shadows still lingered and the lawn was still cool with the morning dew, the band, or rather what was left of it, had brought their chairs, and, seated comfortably here and there, played familiar airs, rambling on from tune to tune, indifferently, yet thoughtfully, in a mood half joyous and half sad. Never was sunshine so brilliant; never was softer, sweeter music. Exams, were over; the cares of the year were behind us; and we were joyous in the thought that we were going home. But mixed with the joyousness of the home-going was the sadness of farewell. We were parting with tho e who had made this year for 11s worth living: and were conscious that the old life could never be resumed. The band ceased playing; the commencement exercises were carried out with their curious mixture of joy and sadness, and the college year was ended. The day was a fitting close to the year; it seemed “like the benediction that follows after prayer.’’ During the summer of 1903 the work of a number of W. A. C. students led them into the wilds and uninhabited por¬ tions of Montana, where they spent a happy and profitable summer. As the vacation drew to a close, however, it be¬ came necessary for them to part. Some had finished their work at the dear old school and would not return, while to others the soft coercive voices of the Profs, were beginning to call. It was at this season that a common impulse drew them together in Helena, Mont., and we have them here as preserved by the artistic pen of Kreager. From left to right around the table arc Arthur Hooker. Dave Lewis, Eugene Person, Melvin Lewis, Arthur Lewis, F. 0 . Kreager, L. M. Hatch and T. J. Woods. It is safe to say that few jollier crowds have gathered in the historic old city of Helena, and certainly none which responded more gladly to a toast than did these boys to the toast—‘‘To Old Pullman.” TO OLD PULLMAN Our hearts arc in Pullman, our hearts are not here, Our hearts are in Pullman a-chasing the dear. Though long we may wander, though far we may roam, Our hearts are in Pullman, in Pullman, our home. For the boys of old Pullman are known for their worth, And the dear girls of Pullman are queens of the earth; In jolly good comradeship never surpassed, And the spirit of Pullman is true to the last. Then here ' s to old Pullman, so mirthful and gay; Here’s to the spirit of crimson and gray ; Here’s to her beauty, here’s to her worth; Hurrah! for old Pullman, the dearest of earth. CLAUD THOMPSON FINDLEY On July 5th Claud Thompson Findley was called suddenly to face the great unknown. He was born in Pleasantville, Ill., in 1875, an d at the age of eight years moved to Cheney, Wash. He entered the college from the Cheney Normal School in the fall of 1902. As a student he sustained an enviable reputation for diligence and perseverance. His scholarship was good, and his aspirations high. He had a dignified and pleasing personality, which made him respected by all with whom he came in contact. We miss him from his place in the band, the orchestra and the Glee Club, but most of all, we miss him as a friend and companion. Scene: Farmers’ Institute at- Dr. Nelson and Prof. Elliott conducting an evening’s entertain¬ ment, showing stereopticon views of the college. “Now, ladies and gentlemen, we have shown you a few pictures illustrating the wonderful growth of the Washington Agricultural College.

War among the tribes. The tribe of “Fraish,” under the leadership of “Young Man Who Throws The Big Talk ’ hurled defiance at their hereditary enemies, the Piedmont Sophs. The Sophs scowled in anger and mut¬ tered in fear, but knew not which way to turn for succor until Big Mike, of the tribe of Brislawn, called them together and thus addressed them: “Sophs, the crucial hour has come. We are face to face with the crisis of our existence. Our enemies have dug up the rusted hatchet of war and have hurled it into our midst. They call us squaws and cowards. They tell us to get off the earth. Arc you going to submit? You, Big Roaring Sapp, you, Cold Feet Berry, you. Heap Fight Um Haskell, you, Heap Catch Um Stuht, will you crouch and cower under the threats of your enemies? No! Never! Nit!” Thus rallied in their hour of weakness the Sophs sallied forth and struck their enemies upon the flank as the elated Fraish were marching down Maine street chant¬ ing the funeral dirge of the Sophs. 1 he battle was fiercely fought and the result trembled in the balance until Heap Duck Um Baymiller of the tribe of Butinski attempted to cool the ardor of the fierce warriors by plentiful libations of water from the city reservoir. At this the hostiles forgot their hatred of each other and made a concerted dash for the chief of the Butinski and deprived him of his weapons and threw him to earth and scattered his supporters. This ended the great battle, but stories of deeds of valor will be handed down to remotest generations. Never will the tribesmen tire of telling how Brinton overthrew the mighty Haskell or how Haskell crawled into a wagon track and thus escaped his enemies. NOVEMBER. November 2. The Freshmen and Sophomores fixed it up with the officers, paying for damages to citv property—and Baymiller. November 3. On the evening of November 3, at the call of the vigilance committee, a high court was held in the old gym, with the result that resolutions were drawn up as fol¬ lows and immediate action taken along the lines laid down therein: Whereas, One T. O. O. Swift is hereby charged with sundry offenses, perpetrated while in the full control and pos¬ session of his senses, contrary to the peace, happiness, wel¬ fare, prosperity and good name of the college, to-wit: He has set an example prejudicial to the discipline of the college and the good health of its members by objecting to the serving of potatoes with their jackets on; and, further¬ more, He has disdainfully refused to associate with tomatoes sliced with their skins on; and, in addition, He has attempted to make more onerous the painful task of the waiters by objecting to their temporarily occupying vacant chairs at the table during meals; and, also, He has been in the habit of making remarks derogatory to the menu generally; and, furthermore, Being possessed of the idea that he was a musician of note, he has been in the habit of waking the echoes with a trombone at all hours of the night; and most heinous of all He has stated it as his opinion that this institution is too slow for him; therefore, be it Resolved, That the aforesaid T. O. O. Swift be required to crawl on his hands and knees the length of the line of boys, and be chastised in a grandmotherly manner with slippers or more convenient substitutes; and, furthermore, That he be taken to the porch of the girls’ dorm and recommended to eat a tomato with the skin on. It is needless to add that a plan of action having been decided upon was quickly carried out. The prisoner had the further misfortune of being carried up the steps of Ferry Hall just as a bucket of water was accidcntall) r upset from the roof of the porch. And it was a cold night, too. To judge from the rapidity with which his footsteps echoed down the walk when he was released, he had changed his mind considerably regarding the pace at which events sometimes moved. Suffice it is to say that from that evening the rooms and halls of our worthy college have heard his footsteps no more. November 4. The first cold snap. Upon my sled I like to slide, And on my skate to skate: But I hate to slide upon my hide, And skate upon my pate. The State Institution for the Refrigeration of Ignorant Youth is located at Pullman. The method of treating the unfortunates is decidedly unique. The hapless inmates arc cajoled into the various rooms and the attendants carefully bar the doors. The fires at the power plant are then allowed to go down gradually, till near the close of the process the heat is shut off cn tirelv. Great care must be taken to with¬ draw the heat by degrees, lest the patients congeal so rapidly as to cause plasmolysis of the tissues. The treatment is efficacious and thoroughly satisfactory to the authorities of the institution, but the process is ac¬ companied by great danger to the attendants. Only recently one of the attendants in the Elementary Ward succumbed un¬ der the extreme cold and fell a victim to the grippe, pneu¬ monia and tuberculosis. When this one difficulty is obviated, the system of refrigeration cannot be surpassed in any part of the state. November 5. The football team left for Oregon. 82 November 6. In chronicling the events of the year—those things that have made us laugh and those that have made us think—we must also take note of those things which have made us sad. Mrs. J. D. Conyers, who has been one of the college community for almost five years, departed this world for a better one on the 6th of November, nineteen hundred and three. By her gentle kindness she won the love and regard of all who came to know her. Her influence among us was such as to awaken nobler thoughts and higher ideals and aspirations in the lives of those of us who came in contact with her. 83 November 7. Football at Corvallis.

Rookie: That was a pretty good dinner, but I don’t want any more of those green plums with salt on them.” The football season ended, we found, in casting up ac¬ counts, that we were at the wrong end of the list of competitors for the championship of the Northwest. However, the ex¬ planation for so many defeats was not hard to find; and we were satisfied because our team had stayed in the race to the end and made steady improvement from beginning till the last whistle blew. The men who won W’s during the season were as follows: F. T. Barnard, J. C. Early, J. R. Wester, W. R. Rehorn, E. D. Stewart, E. M. Cardwell, R. W. Brooks, H- E. Goldsworthy, C. W. Lobaugh, C. M.

Trouble at Stevens Hall; time-honored rights to cozy corners violated; the ancient regime broken. Stuht, Knight, Thorpe and others of the old order object to the march of events, and insist that Goldsworthy, Cowgill, Rehorn and the rest of the “younger blood” do their courting on the porch and in the halls. The triumph of new order of things was neither complete or decisive, but it was vital in that it determined the final overthrow of the old forces of society by the new. Thus time moves on. December 7. Cadets received their commissions. Anti- Saloon League organized. December 8.

Morgan and McLean feared dictation from the collegiates. December 15. Out of the generosity of their large hearts the Commercials granted the Collegiates’ requests. 8 ? A COMMERCIAL’S THEME. December 16. Once there was a large man. He was also a brave man. He went to the war. He fought bravely. He never attacked an enemy smaller than himself—who didn’t say something that “was meant for a challenge-” Because this man was so brave and generous his friends loved him and his enemies loved him. His name was Arthur Morgan. His mother loved him very much and called him “Artie.” When he left her to go to the war she told him to always be gentle and kind and help those in distress, and God would reward him. Artie remembered her kind words. He always followed her wise counsel. Once some poor, helpless, little Commercials bought themselves some dainty, little red caps with a nice, bright letter C on them. It was a very pretty letter. It meant that they were not Dairy students. They looked nice in their pretty caps. There also were a lot of mean old Collegiatcs. They said that the Commercials should not wear their pretty caps. This was very unkind. Some are mean because they are big. One day when Artie saw some big, mean, old Collegiatcs taking the pretty caps, he remembered what his mother had said. There were many Collegiates, but he did not fear them. He knew that God would help him. He bravelv rushed upon them and over¬ powered them. He returned the pretty caps to the helpless Commercials. They thanked him and blessed him and he lived a long and happy life because he never allowed the weak and helpless to be abused bv the strong and powerful- December 18.

Minnick: “Where’s the old lady?” From the window: “Oh, she’s in the dining room.” Stimmel: “What have you to cat up there ?” From the window: “Oh, cake and-” Minnick: “We’re as hungry as the deuce; have been working here for almost half an hour. Can’t you give us something to eat?” From the window: “Well—I don’t know—she’s in the dining room—I’ll see.” From the window, a moment later: “Here you are. Catch it quick! she’s coming.” Minnick: “Good enough!

On the second day before the Sabbath a multitude of Freshmen went forth in hay racks to cast their lot among the Moscowites in accordance to a summons which the Freshmen inhabitants of the city of Moscow had caused to be sent forth for a great time of feasting and rejoicing. They were well treated by the Moscowites and on the morrow they set forth to return to their own country. And as they neared the land of the Pullmanites the hay racks turned over with the multitude and they fell by the wayside. And some fell upon stony places where they had not much earth and forthwith they sprung up for they had no deepness of earth- And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprung up and scratched them. And some were lodged in the tree tops and could not by any means come down from thence. And when the sun was up, the multitude shook the mud from off their feet and came into their own country.

Whether or not this applies to the trunks in this case is not certain, nor is it apparent just why these valorous young men, after organizing their forces, should pay their first visit to Stevens Hall, and that without even a search warrant. Be that as it may, it is undoubtedly recorded in the books of the Angel Gabriel that the trunks were located that evening, after considerable search, in the girls’ dorm, and carried as far as the lawn in front. But then—alas, even as with so many of less worth—the charms of their fair ones proved the undoing of our doughty heroes. They returned to tell their ladies of their wondrous exploits—and in the meantime the trunks again disappeared—to be discovered by these same fair ones when they returned to their rooms. The next day the trunks were rescued, one of them from its perilous position where it hung suspended from out a win¬ dow- Now “Curly” has his trunk locked to the radiator, while Saunders keeps his in place with a heavy paper weight.

And wild wailed the wind round the wall, When out from their rooms snug and cheery Fared the conquering Huns of the “Hall.” Dark Bowers of the South led the onset; Fierce Spaulding of the Snake held command, While their henchmen who’s following on yet, Brave Minnick stood close at their hand. Oh! fierce was the battle in Young’s room. Where brave Tilmont held the pirates at bay, Till at last like the fierce Chinese Monsoon The Huns swept the defenders away. Oh ! the dark deeds of horror that followed, No pen will e’er fitly describe; The chiefs of defense were all swallowed, And gone were the men of the tribe. Then out again rushed the fierce pirates, Their appetites whetted in gore. When they saw a poor rookie who gyrates To climb o ' er the top of his door. He fell a prey to the marauders, Who seized him e’er he could escape. Prof. Waller is looking for loaders And the Hall door is festooned in crape. And still down the hall rushed the Vandals, And Sophomore, Freshman and “Rook” Were hammered and beaten with sandals In a spot where they could not l ook. The primal, fierce fury abated, When the victims no longer ran loose. Then Prof. Waller, their passion full sated. Bade the leaders pack up and vamoose. 102 MONTANA DEBATE April 15.

I SUMMARY OF COLLEGE YEAR HE year’s chronicles are done; the calendar began with Spring vacation and ended with the same season. It has been our aim in these pages to chronicle the year’s events in such a manner and in such a setting as will enable our companions of these nine months to live them again in after years and to feel again the spirit of college life. We confess our inability to accomplish what we had hoped; for to catch the spirit of college life, the work, the fun, the sacrifice, the sympathy and loyalty of friendships, and make it live upon the printed page preserved for years to come is a task for master minds. However, if we shall have won in a small degree the gratitude of our fellow students, we shall feel amply rewarded. a q In looking back over the year, which has been one of pleasure and profit to us all, we find that it has maintained the rate of growth and progress that has characterized our in¬ stitution for a number of years. A brief review of the year and its work will not be out of place. At the beginning of the year, a number of changes were made in the personnel of the faculty. The college suffered its greatest loss by the resignation of Professor Charles V. Piper, who gave up his work at the head of the Department of Botany and Zoology to accept a position in the Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C. He had been connected with the college for eleven years, during which time he was not only prominent in the advancement of the institution, especially along his line of work, but as a man lie commanded the love and respect of the many students with whom he came in contact, and whom he was ever anxious to serve. The college suffered no small loss by the resignation of Professors Webster a nd Thyng. S. H. Webster was one of the landmarks of the institution, having been principal of the Commercial Department since 104 ' 95 - As Steward of the Dining Clubs, he came in contact with the majority of the students, among whom he had many strong personal friends. It was, however, in the department of which he was so long the successful Principal and in the social life of the college that he was the most greatly missed. William S- Thyng came to the institution as Assistant Professor of Mining in ’99, being made Professor of Mining in ' 02. The efficiency of his work in the Mining Department, as a member of the faculty Committee on Literary and Social Affairs and the Committee on Athletics won for him many friends and caused much regret at his leaving. The improvement in the efficiency of the work and the equipment of the college during the year has been very- marked. One course was added to those already given, namely, Home Economics. Preparations have been made during the year for the addition of a course in Geology. The Department of Home Economics was comfortably es¬ tablished at the beginning of the year in Morrill Hall, and the work has progressed in the most desirable manner. The or¬ ganization of the work was put into the hands of Miss Edith Florence McDermott, whose ability to carry out the work to its best success has been amply demonstrated by the re- suits. Miss McDermott was a student at the Allegheny Col¬ lege, Pittsburg. Penn., from ' 89 to ' 91. She graduated from Drexel Institute, organized the Women’s Department in the Michigan Agricultural College and had charge of the domestic science work in the Pittsburg Public Schools. In ’97 she was a student at Cornell University. A great improvement in the character of the work done in the Military Department was also markedly noticeable. This has been due to the work of Captain Edward Kimmel, who took charge of the cadets at the beginning of the year. Captain Kimmel graduated from the Economic Science De¬ partment of the W. A. C. in ’97. After graduation he taught one year in the Waitsburg Academy, served almost three years in the Philippine Islands, spent one year at the military school at Fortress Monroe, where he was made a captain of artillery, and was made Professor of Military Science in the Washington Agricultural College in 03. The moving of the Chemical Department to larger quar¬ ters in Morrill Hall and the occupation by the Physics De¬ partment of the rooms vacated, has given both departments the much needed space for the accommodation of the increased number of students. The erection of the Stock Pavilion and the erection and equipment of the Creamery has filled an urgent demand for greater facilities in the work of the Agricultural Department. An innovation was made by the erection and furnishing of a College Hospital. This is the first college of the West that has erected a hospital for the use of students. The funds for the building were appropriated by the State, the rooms for patients were furnished in part by the students, and a trained nurse paid by the x ssociated Students and the college authorities jointly. This is one of the most encouraging signs of the future of the institution, and looks forward to the time when we will have a college physician. A most decided advance has been made in the work of the musical departments. This is especially true in the case of the Band, Orchestra and the Glee Club. Under the direction of Professor Strong the Band has improved till no college band in the Northwest and, perhaps, in the West, will bear comparison with it. The Orchestra has made a corresponding improvement; and the Glee Club has won a reputation that has brought them many invitations to visit different towns over the State. Our Club will compare favorably with those of the larger institutions of the East. An improvement in social lines has been felt during the year, and a strong desire on the part of the students to con¬ tinue the advancement has been noticeable. Fewer of the small events and more of the events that arc really worth while has been the tendency. This tendency should be en¬ couraged, for college life offers rare opportunities in the social way that will never come to one at any other time or place. There has been an unparalleled increase in the number of students, and along with this an increase in student activities. Debating, which for a number of years received little recog¬ nition, has taken a deserved place in the consideration of the students. Within our calendar year, three debates were held, two of which were won by our representatives. What, how¬ ever, is of greater importance, each debate was of a very high standard; and, whether we lost or won, showed a high order of scholarship. Greater activities was also the order of events in athletics. Several more games of football were played this year than in any one year before; and, while we were not as successful as in former years, we feel that under the circumstances the team did as well as could be expected. To take a practically new squad of men, with the captain sick and a new temporary captain for each new game, with dissension and factions among the team to deal with, and make a team of it that could play football, at the end of the season, with the best teams in the Northwest with a fair chance of beating them, is sufficient evidence of the ability of J. N. Ashmore as a football coach. Mr. Ashmore came to the W. A. C. as Assistant Physical Director, from the University of Illinois, where he had finished the Junior year. Under his coaching the women’s basket ball lost not a single game and the men’s team lost but one and won the first intercollegiate game in the history of the insti¬ tution. As for Spring athletics, we have the strongest baseball squad we have had in a number of years; and the track team gives promise of a brilliant career. Interest has been recently awakened in that most typical of college sports, tennis, which bids fair to make it one of the most popular sports of the college. At present eight well kept courts about the campus are in constant use whenever the weather permits. The general health of the student body has been remark¬ able during this nine months. The periods of study have been scarcely interrupted, allowing on the whole a greater amount of work than is usual. But few difficulties have come up to mar the harmony which has existed between classes and individuals. It is true we have had difficulties and misunderstandings, but there was in every case a spirit of college loyalty and a desire to do the right thing that led to a satisfactory and amiable settlement. On the whole the year has been one of good, hard work and a fair share of fun. It has been a year worth living. Those who made the year for us worth the living can never be reassembled save in memory. The friendships we have enjoyed once broken can never be resumed. By reason of the fact that that some of our companions will have moved faster and some slower than we, the old relations can never be renewed when, perchance, some of us meet again. We trust that this book will be the means of preserving for all who have made up the college community this year, the mem¬ ories of the happy days and pleasant companionships that will help and cheer him in the greater struggle of life. 108 ALMA MATER Oh Alma Mater: Young yet old, Who through my soul thy ardor thrills, Who sendest out thy children bold Forth from thy home mid sun-kissed hills. Oh, my thy spirit ever dwell With each brave son where e’er he tour, And be to him the warning knell, And keep his pathway firm, secure. Mayhap his pathway will be laid Where Northern beacons light the way, And men forsake the marts of trade, And sing fortuna’s primal lay. Mayhap, the footsteps of some son The tropic verdure will ensnare, And burning, blistering, glaring sun Will displace hope with black despair. Oh, do thou then, thou soothing sprite, Cool fevered brain, gu ide erring feet, Calm primal fear of wandering wight, Fill his strong heart with hope replete. And for the men who tread the way Where commerce rules and trade is life, Guide and keep, support and stay, Sustain, protect him through the strife. And for the man who wanders down The pleasant places of our land, Let not the blight, oblivion, Dull sense of goodness of thy hand. And to thy sons who still remain Beneath thy gently guiding sway, Teach them to curb, to check, restrain The sordid thoughts of selfish day. And do thou guide and lead them on To fairer realms suffused by light, Of kindly thought, of deed benign, Where code is truth and law is right. 109 QUOTATIONS “I don’t think red is such an awful color for hair.”— Miller. , “Neither do I”—Hooker. “Just watch me get Th(ay)er(e).”—Evans. • “Le II Grand c’est moi.”—Prexie. “It seems to me to be a case of unparalleled damnish- ness.”—Haskell. “Love is not less, but more.”—Stuht. “You must use diplomacy in dealing with men.”—May Belle. “I am happier this year than I was last.”—Jack. “The Peers of Minstreldom.”—Thorpe and Miller. “Though last, not least in love.”—Nalder. “Until I truly loved, I was alone.”—Goldsworthy. “I just won’t let ‘Shorty’ Thompson, Hugh Todd and ‘Shorty’ Miller be tied up by those horrid Freshmen.”—Angie Martin. “I have more understanding than all my teachers.”— Kreager. , “Some men are born great, others achieve greatness and some look well in the eyes of the ladies.”—Torpen. • “I’ll wear my cap till the Fourth of July.”—Miss Bruton. “Gee!

Herr Gage was a hair-brained Professor. From Harvard he was; but no dresser. He spent all his time In an effort sublime To entrap a fair maid and caress her. A sapient sapper named Sapp Once went to the land of the Lapp. The weather so frigid Made the Colonel grow rigid, And the change took the sap out of Sapp. Cornelius, a young man of our place, Fell deeply in love with fair Grace; But there was another Who stuck like a brother, And pretty and close was the race. There once was a pin-head named Klepper, A swell-headed “would-be’ ' high-stepper. He tried to debate, And lie tried to orate; But alas! for the fate of poor Klepper. There once was a soldier named Knight, Who was not exceedingly bright; His manner was coarse, And his accent was hoarse, But abundance of nerve he had, quite. There was a brave Senior named Early. Whose manner last year was quite surly; ’Till he met charming Bess— The result you may guess— And now burly Early’s not surly. There once was a man named “Doc.” Stuht Who carried his brains in his boot. A maiden named Stell Told him he was swell, And then pulled his leg, poor galoot. A foxy young man from Spokane Sought to show how his class should be ran; When a young man named Todd, With an unyielding rod Reduced him to the height of a span. There once was a man called the Prep., A heart-breaker, proud of his “rep.” ’Till he sought to corral The gay Prosser belle— Now he walks with funereal step. DEPENDING ON THE POINT OF VIEW “Why, what is this, a Ku Klux, or a Whitecap?” ‘‘No, do not be scared, little boy—that is only a senior in his cap and gown.” “But why did he not have it made large enough?” “Oh, that is a gown made for the class of 1890. Yes, it is too small, but the seniors next year will probably not be so large, so it will be all right then.” “Oh! no, Frankie,—that is not a professor! Why can’t you guess what it is? You haven ' t seen anything else around just like it, have you? No, I thought not. No, it isn’t in love. Now you mustn’t tell anybody—it’s a Freshman. Speak to it?—Oh, my goodness, no. You might soil its dignity. Yes, I think it will be of some use in the world some day— but not for a long time.” 116 bis: “Oh! Look, George. Isn’t that cute? What is it? Won’t you buy me one?” “Hush, Jamie. That is Major Schuele going to battalion parade. Keep still or he may look at you.” “Is not that a striking appearing fellow in the third front scat there?” “Yes, indeed, Freddie; but do not be alarmed—that is only a “rookie.” If you will only wait till next week when he has a clean shirt, a new necktie, trousers patched, hair combed, teeth brushed, face cleaned, socks changed, vest buttoned, coat on, shoes polished, cuffs in place and a new smile—the change will be more striking than his looks are II7 now. ' ADAPTED (With apologies to Bryant.) To him, who in the love of woman holds Communion with her tangible forms, she speaks A curious language: for his flushcr hours She has a voice of gladness, and a smile And a washiness of beauty; and she glides Into his trousers ' pocket with a mild And gentle craftiness, that steals away His spondulix ere he is aware. When thoughts Of the last final exams, come like a blight Over thy spirit, and sad images Of the four “flunks,” the call on Prcxic, The trip home, and the “fatted calf”-skin strap. Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart. Go forth under the enclosed porch, and list To Nancy’s preachings, while from somewhere ’round— Storm-door, or pillar, or the back stair, Comes the shrill voice: Yet a few days, and thou. The unrelenting Profs, shall face once more In all their coarseness; nor in the cold Dorm. Where thy frail form has laid with many cuss-words Nor in the Hall of Stevens shall exist Thy image. Hills that nourished thee shall claim Thy strength to be resolved to wheat again; 118 And lost each high ambition, surrendering up Thine military bearing shalt thou go Home to help Dad milk the cows; To be companion to the hired man, Who rises with the lark, to plow the summer-fallow. And pull wild oats. Tar weeds Shall hide beneath thy raiment and pierce thy skin; Yet not to thine infernal working-place Shalt thou retire alone,—nor couldst thou wish Company less desirable. Thou shalt go out With patriarchs of the college world,—with sports Powerful on the gridiron,—the wise, the good- For-nothing, grafters smooth of many “finals” passed. All in one motley aggregation. The Profs., Spare-ribbed and ancient as the sun; the Seniors Working in artful quietness between; Venerable Juniors; Sophs, that move In majesty; and the verdant Freshmen Who make the campus green; and poured round all The measly Preps, in melancholy waste,— Arc but the certain indications all Of a great work for man! The Prcxie and The lesser planets, all the infinite host of satellites Are working out this sad process of death Through the long lapse of ages. All that tread The campus are but a handful to the tribes Sent to the paternal fireside. Take the wings Of morning, traverse Yakima’s desert sands, Or lose thyself among the scattering willows Where rolls the Palouse and hears no sound Of its own dashings,—yet the flunks are there! And dozens in these semesters, since Prexie To the institution came, with one grand sweep Have been turned down,—the “flunks” must all go So shalt thou go; and what if thou withdraw In silence from the college, and Evergreen Take no account of thy departure? All that flunk Will share thy destiny. The Profs, will laugh When thou art gone, the solemn “Grind” of yore Grind on, and each one as before will chase His favorite “Fluzzy,” yet all these will leave Their follies and their pastimes, and will come To take their place with thee. As the long days Of summer glide away, the sons of Bean, So green in life’s young spring, and he who goes With a full store of nerve, girls and old maids. And some sweet “babes” and the bald-headed man Shall, one by one, be ordered to thy side, By those who very soon will “fire” you. So “cram” that when thy chances come to win Distinction’s glory, where each shall read His name in Evergreen , and each shall hear It read aloud in chapel, Thou go not, like the “hash-fiend” at evening Forced to his supper, but, armed and mounted On a well fed pony, approach thy doom Like one who has no fear of mortal foe And passes his “exam.” just like a dream. LOVE (An article written for the Chemistry Department) Love, one of the rare elements, was among the first discovered and used by man. It was first obtained from its compounds in any noteworthy amount by Adam in the year i after creation. Though considered very rare at the time and thought to exist only in that locality, it has been since found in all parts of the world. As a commodity it varies with the demand, that is; the supply causes a demand and the demand finds a supply. It has the peculiar property of existing in the liquid state at the extremely low tempera¬ ture of between 6 and 20 Y. Between 20 and 30 Y. it exists as a solid, soft, ductile, malleable and very clastic. It is quite readily volatile and when brought to a welding heat often goes up in smoke. In structure it varies from a very cheap, amorphous compound to rare crystals of priceless value. It does not tarnish readily on exposure to the rava¬ ges of weather, if chemically pure, and thus makes a first class galvanizer. It is used to some extent for covering optical instruments, because it has the peculiar property of making the moon look like green cheese. In the solid con¬ dition it is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. It often transmits the spark through infinite distances without any apparent strain upon the particles. It continually gives off light and heat in the form of evaporated sunshine. It forms many fusible alloys, but so far none have proven of any value to science- About 30 Y. it exists as a gas. Many attempts have been made to produce it artificially and with some degree of success, but the manufactured article has never been made to stand the test like that produced in nature. It has a valence of one, which varies only in one state (Utah.) The boiling point varies with the density of the solution and the melting point may be strongly in¬ fluenced by the conditions of the surrounding atmosphere. The atomic weight is high in the solid state, but otherwise is quite low. Specific gravity: No instrument has been adjusted deli¬ cately enough to determine it accurately. Heat added in the liquid state causes it usually to slop over (effervesce)and run down the sides of the containing vessel. This condition usually causes decomposition or precipitation to occur at once. Immersion in this condition gives a slimy sensation to the hand and an alkaline reaction. In the solid state it has a rich lustre which soon wears off on handling. In this state it is very stable and is con¬ sidered least dangerous; has a great adhesive power and a great affinity for unlike bodies; impervious to mineral acids, but when boiled with cone. HJ. (hydrojelous acid) readily 120 decomposes, giving off green fumes of a very characteristic and disagreeable odor (characteristic test). It has many solvents but the most common ones are sour bread and “oil of Butinski.” In the gaseous condition (above 30 Y.) the handling of it becomes very dangerous, since it is very unstable and likely to cause explosions especially when in composition with a weak base. It forms a great variety of oxides which vary in color from ethyl orange and “Purple of Cassius” to red, white and blue, and the “Star Spangled Banner.” It is a very active reducing agent, reducing gold and silver to an equality with nickel and copper in an incredibly short time. Break ! Break ! Break 1 My teeth on thy steak, O Dorm! And I would that my tongue could sputter The thoughts that arise in the storm. O well for the married man old! That he dines with his family so well. O well for the sporty Prof., bald! That he gets his meals at the hotel. And the stately waiters go by With food that, perhaps, you can chew. But O, for a taste of my mother’s pie Or something to eat that is new! Break! Break! Break! On thy cold, tough steak, O Dorm! Which the tenderness of a day that is gone Plas forever departed from. 121 SEIDENMRDCHEN ( TT a l ft z Zi 7. C.

An hour of stolen play. Wc spread a feed at Minnie’s At midnight’s “hour of gloom,” And she, from sleep awakened, Surprised came to the room. We had all sorts of goodies, And for an hour we fed, And then, in sweet contentment, We hastened off to bed. Wc scarce had left our hostess, When, with a gentle tan. Came Mrs. V-awakening That lady from her nap. But when next morn, from breakfast, Miss Allen stayed away, Her nervous fears arising, Again held her in sway. She hastened up the stairway. And found the lady brisk, Was clearing out her study With an energetic whisk. She simply stood astounded. And then, in accents mild, She talked to her and reasoned As with a little child,— “I think, my dear Miss Allen, It is not wise to do So much when one at midnight Has been so ill as you.” “I thought I heard you moving, Miss Allen, are you ill?” And Minnie answered “Yes. Ma ' am T (I fear she’s laughing still.) She offered help and doses. But they were all declined, So down she went contented, With nothing on her mind. “I really think Miss Glover Would help you with a will, She always seems obliging. And you have been so ill.” She found the maid contrary. She’ll be relieved to read. That Minnie’s sudden illness Was caused by late “high feed.” 125 BATTLE OF THE STRONG SYNOPSIS : The Freshman Class holds meeting and decides to chal¬ lenge Sophomores to appear on Halloween. They post notices to that effect in town and on the campus. The Sophs, find notices next morning and destroy them, and in a class meeting decide to accept the challenge. Sophs, have a banquet in Artesian Hotel on Halloween. At the same time the Fresh¬ men are assembling in MacKay’s back yard. A few minutes later the opposing classes meet in a hand to hand encounter in the street. Just when the fight is hottest the city marshal turns a stream of cold water on the struggling men- They forget their class differences and make a rush for the marshal. They get his hose and march away united. MacKay stays behind to pick up some of the scraps and the marshal comes in and arrests him. Mac calls for help and the Freshmen and Sophs, rush back and rescue MacKay and proceed to hang the marshal. John Mathews, a lawyer, interferes and saves the marshal ' s life. ACT I. Scene I.

C., in order to show our love and pride for the boys of our class; and further, to express our appreciation of their efforts so nobly exerted in furthering the class honor and renown, do hereby Resolve: That since our boys have with marvelous strength and agility succeeded in scaling the smokestack at the foot of the campus and upon its dizzy summit painted a never fading emblem of the grandeur of our class, a green and white ’07, we, therefore, tender these open and public thanks as a slight expression of our regard for them. Be it further Resolved: That a copy of these resolutions be printed in the next issue of Judge and in the next report of the Weather Bureau. Be it also Resolved: That a committee of girls be ap¬ pointed to pluck from Norway’s frozen strand the tallest pine, dip its top into the crater of Mount Vesuvius and with the burning brand write across the sky: “Freshmen, we love thee!” 1 q Colonel Sapp (at the Sophomore class meeting) : “These impudent villains need their necks broken; and I say let’s break ’em. Zounds! Thunder and Blazes! I have never yet taken a dare; and. by the head of Aguinaldo, I never will! Cannon balls and powder! I fought the whole Philippine army one night by myself. Zounds, sirs! I licked ’em, too. By my reputation, I say fight! I repeat it, sir, I say fight!” q q H. C. Todd: “The time has indeed arrived when we must gather up our weapons and go forth to battle. No longer does the smoke of the peace pipe mingle its grayness with the deeper smoke of the evening camp fires. No longer can we roam at will over the campus. No longer do our families live in unmolested security. Our enemies, the Fresh¬ men, are on the war path, with blood in their eyes. Gentle¬ men of the jury I The village of the tribe of Sophomores is in danger! They have dared us to leave our wigwams. Shall we submit? Shall we turn squaws? No! a thousand times no! Revenge! Revenge the insult with the bloody scalps of our enemies! To arms! To arms! Come, let us go! Now is the time for action ! q q John Matthews, Lawyer (pleading for the life of Marshal Baymiller, who is in danger of being hanged by the infuriated students, for having sprinkled them with water in the over¬ discharge of his duty) : “Peace Ho ! Hear me, for I would speak.” (The students give ear.) 127 “Sweet and gentle students, you know not what you do. Your hands are clean; your hearts arc pure; your noble and untrammcled natures know no guile. I know the noble en¬ terprise on which you this night fared forth. Old man that I am, my heart throbs with the sanguine pulse of youth, as I look down on your muddy upturned faces. I was a college man myself and proud I am to call you friends. I could call you children, for I love you even as a father : but the gods forbid that a humble lawyer like myself should claim such noble sons. “Oh ! sweet students, let my love for you. let the memory of your cherished mothers plead the cause of one unworthy to die by your hands.” “I stand before you not as a suppliant for the life of yon base, besotted, pride-inflated jackass; but as one who loves you much and would counsel you not to contaminate your stainless hands with the blood of a cur. (Bavmiller is let down.) “Let him live. Let him live to regret this night ' s busi¬ ness. When driven from office, cut off by his friends and shunned by his fellow-men, he will know that duties too well performed would better not be performed. Greater punish¬ ment will this be than death; for, know you not, dear students, that death at your hands is a boon too great for any common Marshal.” (Bayiniller is kicked off the stage.) 123 IWI.OLSE KAI.J.S THE KNIGHT OF THE MYSTIC SLIPPER N the olden time there dwelt in the Palouse land a people, happy and prosperous under the mild rule of their good King Enoch. Now it was the custom in this land for the young men to live in the king’s capital, that they might learn wisdom from the wise men and sages whom Enoch gathered there. Not only were the young men taught by the wise men and sages but Enoch himself went daily among them and instructed them in courtesy and manly virtue. Every morn¬ ing he gathered them under one roof and expounded to them the Divine Word. Now Enoch was growing old I and great was his joy to see his young men every day waxing mentally and physically stronger. And throughout each year certain days were set apart for trials of strength and skill; in hurling the discus, in running and leaping. Then, when the games were at an end, the evenings were given over to merrymaking in the park of the capital, near which stood the great hall wherein the young men dwelt. And it so happened that on one of these festive evenings befell an incident that lived long in the minds of the people of that land. Loud and boisterous had grown the joy of the victors over the forced merrymaking of the defeated. Their laughter knew no ceasing, neither gave they any thought to what they did, only abandoned their reason to the joy of being joyous. Children were they once more and, even as they chased the flitting, gaudy butterfly in very childhood’s days, so now pursued they the whim or folly of the moment. But not long were they left to the enjoyment of their simple pleasures. The day was wearing to its close. Even as the sun cast his last lingering rays over the scene of mirth they fell upon, and lighted up in the eyes of the merrymakers, a figure strange in that land and of such unfamiliar appearance as even to cause the youths to cease from their sport to gaze in wonder. Then saw they a man clothed in strange garments. A long flowing robe he wore, secured at the throat and at the waist with cords from which hung tassels. Over his hollow eyes, lustreless and brown, extended a visor of cardboard. On his head was no covering and his hair, long, dark and wavy, was parted in the middle even to the crown of his head. On his 129 feet were shoes of soft material which gave forth no sound as he walked. In his hand he carried a slipper of gold. And many fell down before its splendor as the level sunbeams multiplied its brilliancy in their eyes. But the stranger smote them with the slipper and they rose up and bore others to him, and he smote them, and they too hastened to bear others to be enchanted by the spell of the mystic slipper. And one there was who fled from his companions and sought refuge in the great hall which stood by the park. Bolted he the door, even in the face of his pursuers and called on the God of his fathers, Enoch’s God, to lend strength to his arm in his battle against the power of the mystic- And God heard his prayer and great strength came to him, and, better than strength, through his mind flashed, even as he cast about for a weapon, the memory of the iron horseshoe which his father gave him when he came forth to the capital. This horseshoe his father counseled him to keep ever, for it would preserve him who possessed it from teh spell of sorcerers and the evil one. And when his pursuers found the door bolted against them they were wroth, and they smote against it mightily, even till its panels gave way before them. In the doorway stayed they not, for even as the door gave way sprang the mystic through and he stood with his golden slipper raised before the young champion of the children of Enoch, who was not daunted, but smote the mystic mightily with his iron horse¬ shoe and felled him to the floor. And at this the victims of the mystic knight set up a great cry and fled before the mighty champion. Then hastened the victorious youth to bear the news to Enoch, and when he returned both knight and slipper had vanished and never more disturbed the peace and quiet of that happy land. But long, long afterwards the elders loved to tell how Enoch’s children were saved from the spell of the magic knight and his mystic golden slipper by the iron talisman of the blacksmith’s son. And now the iron horseshoe is to them the symbol of Christianity, even as the golden slipper is to them the svmbol of a long past mysticism. —JOE. ARE YOU BUILDING? E are building, comrades, building, Some are building temples grand, Ready for the Master’s using. With a strong and steady hand. Some are building, slowly building, With a world of patient care, Simple structures strong, enduring; Some are building castles rare. Some are building graceful stairways, Leading up to halls of fame, Climbing up with careful foot-steps, On the walls to carve a name. All are building, upward building, Some with tears and pain and care; Others thoughtless building only Fairy castles in the air. Are you building, stop one moment, For a single, earnest thought, Are you building strong and steady,— Bravely, striving as you ought ? Are you building things of beauty? Things that through the storms will stand? Ah! Be careful lest you ' re building Sea-shell castles on the sand. —Hope. 131 FOG THOUGHTS I climbed the hill one morning. Through the softly falling rain— Through a gray fog-veil so misty, That hung o’er hill and plain, The wind was hardly stirring, The weeds and grass were still, And it seemed as if the ‘‘world’s end” Lay just beyond the hill. For all beyond was hidden, And no sound, but of the rain, Came in to break the silence That brooded o’er the plain. But when I reached the hill-top The fog had cleared away. And I saw the bright horizon. All blue and far away. And I thought how like our earth-life Is this gray, gray, misty day— With the way ahead all hidden By the future ' s veil of gray. And how often does the fog-mist Of trouble seem to fill Our lives and make “world’s-cnd” Seem just beyond the hill. And then we reach the summit And the sun shines on the way, And we’re to see the “world’s-end” In the dis tance far away. —Hope. 132 A SOBER THOUGHT ALONE N a railroad train, as we flew o’er plain, O’er mountain and hill and dale, In the pitchy dark, I watched each spark From the engine’s black throat sail. For an instant there, in the murky air, They were hung, so softly bright, Then would melt away, and the brightness gay Was all lost in the dreary night. And ’tis so I thought with the work we’ve wrought, All we mortals here below; For an instant bright, like a spark at night, It will softly shine and glow; And then like a spark, in the midnight’s dark, Will so quickly melt, away. We can scarce believe there can one receive Any good from it on his way. But so many fall that the light from all, Makes a glow in the dreary night; Like the light of a star, it is seen afar, And may guide some friend aright. And into my soul, the comfort stole, From the thought the sparks had given; That, however small be our works, they are all Tiny lights on the road to heaven. —Hope. 133 WASHINGTON LITERARY SOCIETY The Washington Literary Society flourishes. Its quarters in Science Hall are ideally situated and thoroughly equipped for the complete success of the society. The membership is limited to a definite number of the young men of the college. The members are energetic and must be willing to do good, consistent, literary work. The Washingtonians are progressive. The present membership has made the society what it is. They took its abandoned ruins and established a firm organization. They created a new interest in literary work, so that their society always has a good attendance and excellent programs, making the Washington a most complete and extremely successful Literary Society. i C.

We’ll have something more to tell you next year, for we are learning to debate, and will hold our own with other colleges in the future. 136 THE COLUMBIAN LITERARY SOCIETY OFFICERS. M. T.

Our membership was small and many obstacles lay in our path, but not another organization in college excelled us in that element which is life to such associations— enthusiasm—so that even now we have accomplished enviable results. Hitherto there have been but two literary societies. These are of limited membership, and admit only gentlemen members. As our member¬ ship is unlimited, and our society co-educational we have supplied facilities for satisfying a great need for literary work to a large number. In doing this we have laid the foundation upon which can be built the strongest society of the college. The Columbian Society is strictly 1 ' collegiate and intensely loyal. It is a new society: it has no past. These facts, however, make the members determined to achieve such results as will do honor to themselves and the college. 137 ELITE TENNIS CLUB THE T. E. M. B.

The eighth annual tour of the Glee Club was one of the most beneficial and enjoyable ones that the club has ever undertaken. The Club as a whole worked long and faithfully to put on a program that would be an honor to our college and a credit to its conductor. Prof. Strong instituted a new departure in college glee club work when he made an opera a part of the program. The task of arranging the opera was a gigantic one and the thanks of the club and the college are due him for making the opera what it is. The thanks of the club are also due Mrs. Kuria Strong, soprano: Prof. Kimbrough, pianist, and Prof. Snow, reader, for their part of the work. This is a debt that we can never pay. We were treated royally in every instance and we sincerely hope that we made as many friends in the various towns and cities, as the inhabitants of those places which we visited made with us. Our tour covered Washington very thoroughly and Ore¬ gon was visited for the first time by a club from our State. Dayton, March io. This was our first night, and barring a few cases of stage fright, the concert ran smoothly. Mr. Stimmel and Goldsworthy were forced to stay far apart owing to their size and the uncertainty of the stage. Mell West made a decided hit with the fairer sex and decided to make Dayton his future home. Walla Walla, March n. The club opened the new High School auditorium. (It has remained open since.) Talbot mistook the penitentiary for the electric light plant. Owing to his youth fulness the error was overlooked. The quartette bought cheap cigars, hired a cab and viewed the city. The next day they brought in a bill of two dollars for cabbage. The bill was posted. Waitsburg, March 12. The citizens of the town sent a committee to find out why Sam Robinson was not with the club. After promising to send for Sam we were allowed to give our concert. The treatment given the club while in Waitsburg was delightful and will always be remembered by 139 every one of the club members. We were pleased to see a number of alumni and ex-students while in the city. The Dalles, March 14. We all debated on the advisability of going on a whaling expedition, as the Columbia looked like the Pacific to our Palouse eyes. The idea was, however, aban¬ doned. Vancouver, March 15. We were greeted by a very appre¬ ciative audience. The club enjoyed the sights of the fort and each man mentally compared the regulars with Capt. Kimmcl ' s cadets. Portland, March 16. No date, so every one scattered to the four winds to “do” Portland. Through the courtesy of Mr. Moore, an uncle of Adams, we were extended the priv¬ ileges of the Multnomah Athletic Club. No one went into training though. The next morning we congregated at the union depot very much the worse for wear from a financial standpoint. Chchalis, March 17. A very enjoyable time. Goldsworthy practiced the high hurdles but failed to make good. It rained. Montcsano, March 18. The club stayed indoors owing partly to the climatic conditions and partly to the fact that it was court week and we did not want to be arrested. It rained harder. Olympia, March 19. Date Garrison’s smiling countenance met us and Tom Anders, Andy Austin, McKenzie and other old friends met us with open arms. (“Open arms” may be a mistake.) After the concert we were entertained at the home of Judge Anders where the hours fled on silent wings. Thorpe visited the brevverv. It rained again. Seattle, March 21. We gave our entertainment in Denny Hall at the State University, after which the students of our sister institution did the honors. The hospitality of the ladies’ dorm, was felt by everyone and we appreciated the action very much. It rained again. Roslyn, March 22. The house was “S. R. O.” Reed was offered a position in the mines but he blushingly refused. Tiffin met his fate and the outbound train the next morning resembled a wedding special. The rest of the club members were insanely jealous and in a cold-blooded manner called Tiffin a flirt. It snowed. Ellensburg, March 23. Here it was that last year’s acquaintances were renewed and new ones formed. The girls of the Normal entertained after the concert. Bright and fair. Ritzville, March 24. The fair population of the town captured the club as a whole and the club said, “We have certainly had a swell time.” Stuht received some lovely car¬ nations. Gar. Miller was unkind enough to say that they came from Pullman. (Those seeking further information on this subject, please consult the dictionary.) Sprague, March 25. The audience consisted of the Bris- lawn family and twelve others- The house was crowded. The Sprague people were very pleasant and the Sprague date will long be remembered. Spokane, March 26. The club was quite tame, owing to the closeness of the money market. Many friends greeted us and Art Hooper outdid himself in making us feel at home. After the concert we were entertained at the Silver Grill. This kindness was much appreciated and will long be remembered as one of the pleasing experiences of the tour. Palouse, April 9. Another round of pleasure and an¬ other delightful dance given by our many friends. Pullman, April 6. Comments unnecessary. THE ORCHESTRA I ST VIOLINS O. G. Jellum Miss Josephine McCann F. F.

It has been said that a lady was not fitted for the editorship of a college paper, and not without some reason. Nevertheless, the fact that we have had a lady editor during this entire year and a college paper that has been up to the standard of any in the Northwest in every particular, has proven con¬ clusively that there are exceptions to this rule. The other members of the staff, it is true, were loyal in their support, but the burden of work and responsibility were borne bv the Editor. Much credit is due the Business Manager for his efficient work in looking after the financial interests of the paper. STAFF. Zclla E. Bisbee, ’04, Editor-in-Chief. J. C. Early, 04, Associate Editor.

A course in a good Business College is the very best preparation a young man can have, whether lie engages in business or enters a profession. The Equipments of The Blair Business College are of the best.
