One could tell from their un¬ certain steps that they were strangers to the place, and their frightened look and peculiar garb told that they were unused to college life and manners. In spite of their ungainly ways and ignorance of people and things, they were enrolled in the Junior Prep Class. This class became the nucleus for the present Junior Class. It is true that during these long six years many have fallen by the wayside, but others have come to fill the gaps in the ranks. And as the years have dropped away, other years have risen to the front. And what a change the changing years have made. Xo longer do those Junior Preps mope about with vacant eye and mouth agape. They are Junior Preps no longer! They are Juniors now! and noble examples, living illustrations of the evolution of a college man. ' Fhe Junior Class is said to be the strongest in the institu¬ tion. At least it is remarkable in many respects. As individ¬ uals its members rank among the first in ability and in influ¬ ence. As a whole, the Class of ’07 is unsurpassed in bril¬ liancy of achievement. “The Class of 1907. in the words of an honored professor, “lias won more honors than any other class ever within our walls.” Coming from this unprejudiced, yet intelligent source, we needs must accept it as the truth. Who edits the ’07 Annual? The Juniors! Who gave the swellest Prom ever? The Juniors! Who have won three consecutive track meets? The Jun¬ iors ! Who have won three relay banners? The Juniors! Who wore the first plugs at th e W. S. C. ? The Juniors! Who have the most beautiful colors? The Juniors! Yes, green and white, nature’s favorite garb, form the ban¬ ner under which we have climbed to success. But one college year remains. May our present standard be maintained; may we finish this, the next and last lap of our course, at the same record-breaking pace! 2,9 (rrr m ' ?T rr ti ,, 7f ' r • ' ' ' yyy % ' Wk i™f r Vr l I . -- 45s- . . ' ' - - ' «h - , ' ' ' • ' - . -r ; Modesty is the true test of greatness and the chief charac¬ teristic of the ’08 class. A plain unadorned statement of our achievements would be dry and uninteresting because our his¬ tory is not spiced with defeat. Far be it for any member of this class to boast. It has been our pride to bear the laurel crown of victory modestly and demurely. Success docs not intoxicate us, nor does the glimmer of fame incite us to un¬ seemly ends. Like the father of our country, we would be calm in defeat and arc sober in victory. Like Alexander, we have achieved greatness, and, like Caesar, we bear the palm alone. Nothing can check our march of progress, no barrier is too high for us to scale. Our heroes push the pigskin toward the goal posts. Our lusty lungs have won the prize. Our indoor champions have put the score up, and our orators have known no defeat. Serene and sedate, we stand before the admiring public, the glorious sons and daughters of a still more glorious class. Never in the annals of history has such great genius and tenacity been mixed in such blended har¬ mony. Examinations are no impediment to our progress, for we pass them by on winged Pegasuses. We are still young in college life, yet our influence is far reaching. Since our advent the college has nearly doubled. Preps come from far and near to sec us wield our might, swarms of Freshmen gather here to imitate our works and Profs, stand by in ad miring wonder. Seldom do we boast, but of one tiling we are justly proud, and that is our girls, who cannot be equaled. They are first in love, first in war, and first in the hearts of their classmates. We seek no greatness, we ask no praise, we frown on all flat¬ tery, and it can but be said of us when we are gone: Their ways were modest, their achievements were great. They stood firm in all justice, and were an inspiration to all. 29 iFrealfman (Claws Ages hence, when the smoke stack shall no longer stand to tell the story of the many fierce battles waged around its scarred base; when the memory of the Classes of 06 and 07 shall have faded into oblivion ; when even the name of the mighty Class of 08 shall have been forgotten, the fame of the Class of ’09 shall remain fresh in the minds of men and its noble deeds shall he an inspiration to those who shall come after. Men will say, “Where in these days is to be found so much of beauty, wit and wisdom as graced the Class of ’09?” “Alas! 110 longer does England send the flower of her nobility to our halls of learning. They will tell how, when the class was still an infant, the giant Sophomores, with their five varsity men and one Junior barely succeeded in making one touch¬ down ; how the timid maidens of the ' 08s feared to meet the plucky ' 09 girls in basketball; and how the boastful edicts of the tyrannous Sophs disappeared in a single night before the avenging band of the ever watchful Freshmen. Then will be recalled the time when the “three wise men” of the Sophomore Class were disastrously defeated in a spirited forensic contest by Sir Wonald. Little Billy and Curly Haired Mack. Many, indeed, will be the tales of the triumphs of the Class of ' 09, yet these shall not crowd out the memory of its social joys, the straw rides, the feeds, and the merry dancing parties. So, in those far distant days, when men shall meet to re¬ call the glories of the past, the most glowing tributes will be those paid to the memory of the illustrious members of the Class of Nineteen Nine. 33 GUjmtHtrg Chemistry was discovered by Prof. Fulmer in one of his researches made many years ago. Taking a handful of earth from a rich Palouse hilltop, he moistened it with dewdrops gathered in the early morning from thin spiders’ webs; then snatching the purple rays from a noon-day rainbow, with them infused life into this handful of mother earth and forth sprang a large sugar beet. Its leaves of purple, white and red were full of magic juice and hidden wisdom, and one, of yellow hue, within the center placed, repeated oracles in chemic lore; ORACLE. Amido anno ethane, Phospho pyro propane. Ethyl nitro glycerine, Sulfo eggs and hydrogenc. Which, being translated by Prof. Fulmer, has formed the basis of all chemistry and is placed under 38 the three divisions of The Rock , The Flower, The Man. Of the Rock it says: Thou art of atoms and of forces made; within your hard-bound crystal form is motion, life and system found. Yet to the common God of all your life is cast. Your rugged form shall lose its last. Your crystal form the common dust. But live thou wilt som e other day in beauteous flower of fairest May, or frail maid’s eye or blushing cheek, or else some green toad’s mottled beak. So, life with you, O Rock! Rest on your stony bench content, and wait and hope. Some other time, some other day, the animated forces may move your countenance. Of the flower it says: Though rock thou wert and common clay, thou art a living thing today. Yet atoms, molecules, and force are all the things which thou canst boast. Your colors stole ye from the rocks and sun, to them ye ' ll give these back again. To the God of all the universe resolve ye back to dust and earth! Of Man it said : Your intellectual parts belong to God. Your body of the sod, the rock, the flower, the air, the universe, is made. To all of these again there shall be tribute paid. Your corporeal form be¬ come the cold damp clay, but through ethereal ex¬ panse flies your soul away. Where your body lies some day a flower may grow and with blue, red, white and purple colors glow; glow to the good or kindly act well done, which by some thankful, grate¬ ful heart is sung. And, where your Ixxly lies a pois¬ oned stream may flow polluted with vour acts of vice, or crime, or woe. The soul, the violet’s perfume, the rock’s mute voice, are not for you to know or sec or feel, but analyze you may the corporeal. The oracle grew silent. Withered then the leaves. But the great interpreter, with knitted brow, a sci¬ ence to the world thus gives of chemistry: The atom is the principle, The molecule the text, The problem to unite them right In this world or the next. Money may, under some circumstances, be the root of all evil, but it seems there are many cases in which it is not. A good example is the Mechanical and Electrical Engineer¬ ing Department of the State College. When the students of this department learned that the Legislature had bountifully allowed Prof. Carpenter several thousand dollars to spend for improvements in buildings and equipment, they were greatly rejoiced. For. while the department had been a credit, even to a larger school, the appropriation insured a still better and higher standard of work. From the very beginning of the past year a material change for the better was apparent to even the untutored Preps, and as the new apparatus began to arrive and fill the new labora¬ tory, the hearts of all were gladdened till even the Seniors had to smile. It ' s been a great thing, too, this opportunity of displaying their acquired wisdom. Even the Sophomores can discourse learnedly of “storage batteries,” and the dangers of a “short circuit” therein. The blowing of a “fuse” has lost its terrors, except to visitors. The travelling crane has proved more than a plaything in placing “transformers,” “rotary converters,” “single phase motors,” “repulsion motors,” “induction mo¬ tors,” “motor generators,” and good plain, old-fashioned “D C. motors.” The Seniors now, when they gel too deep into theory, can turn to the machine for practical applications of “hysteresis,” “iron losses,” “regulation,” “leakage,” “high tension,” “low- tension,” “power factor,” “induction,” “angle of lag or lead,” “I2R loss” and other mysteries too deep for the ordinary mor¬ tal. The mercury vapor lamp has made many a young maiden dream of seeing corpses, after a visit to the laboratory by lamplight, and the mercury converter has turned many an hour into one of arduous toil for a poor student, while “Hey- land” diagrams have gone whirling through the brains of Sen¬ iors after too close application to their books. But through it all Prof. Carpenter has preserved his happy smile, which augurs well for further good things to meet the students who are coming after. Ulnftmt IGanguagns Since the earliest days of the college we have had the Department of Modern Languages, and it has reached its present state of proficiency under the leadership of Professor C. A. Barry. He it is who, assisted by Mr. F. C. l)e Walsh and Mr. Charlton Andrews, will teach the aspiring student all about German, French. Spanish and the Scandinavian languages. The object of the department is two-fold. First, it offers a purely literary training leading to the degree of B. A., and aiming to make the student a capable teacher of modern lan¬ guages, with an especially thorough knowledge of the language chosen as his major. Sec¬ ondly, the department enables scientific students to translate foreign literature along the line of their scientific studies, especially in their thesis investigations. Not only are the languages of nations studied, but also their literatures with their histories and principal authors. Such is the course offered by this department, its broad lines and competent instructors making it a course well worth the student’s while. y. C 1 = ' � ok t T ' NC: 4 .? (Srnlflgij The Department of Geology of the Washington State College, while only a few years old as a separate depart¬ ment. ranks among the best that the college affords. There is no other department in the curriculum of our college that affords such available opportunities to re¬ ceive a broad and liberal education and at the same time acquire that genuine technical knowledge so essential to success in modern limes. This is obtained largely through the. number of electives offered, for out of the required thirty-two credits the liberal number of nine subjects i s left for the student to choose for himself. Because the department gives a liberal chance for a more general education, no one need suppose that the department is lacking in efficiency. There is no other college or university in the Northwest that has so large and thorough a collection of specimens as is to be found in our own college. One interested in petrography will find a collection of between twenty-four and twenty-five hundred specimens on exhibition, ready for student work. In mineralogy there are about two thousand typical specimens for hand study, while in connection there is a large and well equipped laboratory for work in blowpipe analysis. The collection of fossils, while not as large as is desired, is sufficient to meet the de¬ mand made upon it. These collections are rapidly in¬ creasing. and it is only a question of a very few years until none i n the West will surpass them. Besides the regular routine of work in college a por¬ tion of every summer is spent in the field working out problems and studying natural conditions in geology under the able direction of the head of the department, Prof. Solon Shedd, so that any one wishing to take geology as a course need not go out of this state to find the best. Untarnj mtft Hnnlrtgy The Botanical and Zoological Department, with its four learned instructors, is a factor in the Washington State Col¬ lege which makes its influence felt far and wide. The home of this department, with its laboratories and ex¬ tensive collections of many kinds of plant and animal life, is on the first and second floors of the north end of Science Hall. Students here arc supplied with the most recent and improved laboratory apparatus. Besides the laboratories there is furnished a library con¬ sisting of valuable botanical and zoological works for the de¬ partment as a whole and also the private libraries of each teaching staff. Not only is this department valuable for the pleasure gained from scientific research, and for the ability to teach the facts learned to others, but also for the practical in¬ vestigations of economical importance. Along the lines of insect pests and fungus diseases, agriculture is aided to a great extent by the work of this department. The social life of the zoologists and botanists, which is unusually energetic, finds expression in a jolly organization, known commonly as the “Soc. Biol.” This year, however, contrary to custom, the Botany Department alone is holding up the reputation of this club. All repressed excitement finally culminates each year in a huge pie feed, under the guidance of the “Soc. Biol.” Club, in which all the members of the de¬ partment participate. Pies! pies! Pies of every description! —big and little, soft and hard, black and white—much of which is to satisfy the craving appetite of the underfed Dor¬ mitory weaklings. All these things named give only a hint of what the zoolo¬ gists and botanists really enjoy. JHtntng izngutpfriug The Department of Mining- Engineering of the Washington State College is one of the strongest, and one that we may well be proud of. The already excellent equipment of the mining building is being increased from time to time with valuable additions. Prof. R. P. Jarvis, at the head of this department, is a strong and excellent man, being a graduate of Golden College, a post graduate of Columbia, and having had several years ' practical experience in the various mines and smelters throughout this country, Mexico and Peru. He has taken hold of his work here with his characteristic energy and go, and now, through perseverance and concentrated work, this department ranks among the best. The Mining building, a neat brick structure at the foot of the campus, is devoted entirely to the labo¬ ratory work of the course. It contains concentration tables, vanners, pumps, a cyanide plant, a smelting furnace, giggs, crushers, a stamp mill, assaying equipments and furnaces—in fact everything neces¬ sary to a well equipped mining and metallurgical laboratory The chemical part of the course is car¬ ried on in Morrill Hall, the most completely equip¬ ped chemistry building in the Northwest. The mathematical work is done with the very strong Department of Mathematics and Civil Engineering. Summer school work, which is required of all mining students, is carried on each summer in some prominent mining district. The actual methods of miring are thoroughly studied, mine surveying is done and milling processes very carefully watched. Thus in this course are combined both theory and practice. 4S iErmwmtra unit ISjtHtnry I he aims and ideals of the students of Economics and History are various. Some one of them is no doubt aiming at the presidency. Good luck to him. Perhaps he may bestow upon us some high and honorable, and. incidentally, lucrative position. But all cannot he presi¬ dent. Seeing this position filled, others arc going to stay out of politics and spend their time in leaching the young idea how to shoot the chutes of intellectual endeavor and achievements. Sonic will strive for honors in legislative and journalistic lines; the one to commit deeds of infamy and the others to expose him in hold and thunderous type. Some will sway juries and judges with flights of sublime eloquence and their supreme gall. One or two are studying for the ministry, and let us hope the goodness and godliness developed in them will make up for the corruption and lack of principle in their fellow students. Maybe the paving positions will he occupied before all have a chance. The sad and only alternative then remaining will be to become an ordinary citizen and work for a living. We forget — marriage still remains, and some very, very few may embrace matrimony—when no one is looking. Note: If any one finds a profession which may be followed without study, work, or a knowledge of mathematics, please leave with the Registrar and receive reward. But to revert to the department itself and it s present status. It has never been in a more thriving condition. 1 he sociological and historical libraries are excellent and arc being con¬ stantly and rapidly increased to meet the growing demands made upon them. The teachers are well educated, broadminded, and above all take a genuine interest in their work. These two essentials, a good library and the best of teachers, with students famous from Colfax to the “show me” state, have made the Department of Economics and History what it is—one of the best and most appreciated departments of the Washington State College. 50 lEitglislj IGantjUcUjp attti Blitrraturp No study is more delightful than that of language and literature. Language is the me¬ dium by which man learns to know his fellow beings. Literature is a storehouse of good things, some that have been handed down from far away limes, some that are constantly being added, and the “open sesame” to all these is only the desire to taste of the good things within. The study of no language is more necessary and delightful than that of our own language. With the triumph of the Anglo-Saxon race, the English language is the language of the fu¬ ture. If a man is to be well educated, well bred, well read, he must know his own language. He must know how to express his own thoughts in speaking or in writing, and he must he conversant with the host thoughts of the best minds that have been handed down to us. The literature of the English language is one worthy of sympathetic study. The purpose of this department, then, is an important one. It teaches the history and practical use of our lan¬ guage, and it cultivates a love for the masters of literature. The course is thorough and com prehensive. The student of this department learns to he a proficient writer and a lover—of literature; he learns to debate and “orate”; lie knows all about modern fiction, and he is taught more Old English than any one but Dr. Eggc ever knew before. This year a new feature has been enjoyed by the students of this department. An English Club, organized by Dr. Egge, the head of the department, has been a source of much pleasure and benefit to the members. The club meets every Friday afternoon and spends an hour in study of old masters and modern authors, magazine reports and papers on literary subjects. The Department of English Language and Literature, then, is one of the most useful and comprehensive in the college. It gives the student something he will use all his life, whatever lie may do or wherever he may be. 52 iHathmattra mtft (Etutl tEngtuming ' Flic Northwest is going through a process of rapid mate¬ rial development. This is shown in a number of ways, 1ml the one which comes especially under the notice of the college is the great demand for the graduates of the Department of Mathematics and Civil Engineering. Our college is helping to supply the demand. Here the civil engineering students learn to use the level, compass, transit, plane table, sextant, current meter and many other instruments. By the use of these the student does practical field work in Plane Surveying. Topo¬ graphical Surveying. Railroad Engineering. Highway Engi¬ neering, Irrigation and Sanitary Engineering. Practical As¬ tronomy and Geodesy. Besides these he has instruction also along such lines as Mechanics, Railroad Construction. Bridge Designing, Trusses, Hydraulics, Foundations and Masonry and in contracts and specifications. After the completion of these studies, and with such practical work it is not at all surprising that the gradu¬ ates of this department find places of usefulness in the great Northwest which lies waiting with outstretched arms to re¬ ceive them on Commencement Day! IGatin It is with great pleasure that the Annual announ¬ ces the recent creation by the faculty and board of regents of a Department of Latin. Hitherto strong auxiliary courses to other departments have been given, but there has been no opportunity for gradu¬ ation. This step puts our college in the front rank of land-grant colleges, since it now offers as wide opportunities in the selection of courses as may be found in most of our universities. The excellence of this institution in the technical and scientific fields is well known, but while emphasizing the new, the college has not rejected the old idea in education. Consequently, careful attention has been paid to work in Latin, with the result that interest in its study has increased from year to year. To Prof. Malotte, the head of the new department, must be attributed the credit for this most gratifying result., The efficiency of her administration of this depart¬ ment has been ably demonstrated by the excellence of the work done in Latin, and the Annual predicts that her recognized reputation for thoroughness will be amply sustained in the future conduct of this de¬ partment. Agrtrultur? anJi Sjnrttrulture The brilliant successes which the State College has achiev¬ ed in point of growth and general development have been and are a cause of congratulation to ourselves and to the state at large and have been the cause of much wonder to many who have thought but lightly of the reasons. We do not mean to attempt an analysis of the reasons in all directions, but feel at liberty to mention one which we believe is of very great sig¬ nificance. This reason docs not arise solely out of the fact that the people of the West are appreciating the advantages and necessities of education, but from the fact that in the West, more than anywhere else, the people are realizing that education should not lead away from natural interests, but toward them. The parents who send their sons or daughters to college no longer feel that they will be educated away and divorced from the old home interests. Our college education no longer breaks up homes by offer¬ ing an education that can be used only in the city, but rather makes the student a more able prop to the declining age of the parents. To the sons and daughters of our large agricultural popu 59 lation we believe that the Agriculture- Horticulture course of¬ fers the most useful advantages. Tn these courses every (lav- spent can be made to give some knowledge of actual practi¬ cal use. It is not necessary to “know it all in order to use any of it — as is the case in most other lines, and this is a great advantage to the student who is uncertain as to how long he may be able to stay in college. The general appreciation of this reason (together with others) has made our course grow with greater rapidity than any other. This growth has been possible because we are not taught mere “paper 5 ' farming, but learn the actual practice. For this reason, other considerations aside, the farmer and orchardist are appreciating that it is a first-class business in¬ vestment to send their sons to college, for in the end it makes “the place pay better. In addition we have of course our lighter side. The boys learn well the art (and science) of grafting—some other fel¬ low 5 ? sister. They are well instructed in the science and prac¬ tice of feeds and feeding; are well versed in the care and use of horses and ponies, and finally they have a Farmer’s Club with which to maintain proper sway over the other departments of the school. Smitputir lEnrnnnty These are indeed words with which to conjure. Whether it be among the gla¬ ciers of far-away Alaska or on the arid sands of New Mexico, among the fish¬ ermen ' s huts along the New England coast or in the tepees of the Pacific, what words are more potent than those of domestic and economy ? And what better can he said of a woman than that she is domestic in her tastes and eco¬ nomical in her habits? Such, then, being the case, is it small wonder that no line of work is more popular among both the men and the women than the Domestic Economy? True it is that, if a stranger question a college giri regarding the purpose of her work along those lines, the reply invariably comes, Oh, I am preparing to teach it, you know. Really, it is the coming thing. Bless her heart! Of course she is preparing to teach it. And the majority will not only teach it, but will be the heads of their departments. Then here ' s to the success of the most popular—may we not say the most practical—department of the Washington State College. Long may it live and prosper! 62 ► NICOTIANA pijarmary ' I ' hc Pharmacy Department is growing rapidly. ' Pile present Junior Class is the largest since the establishment of the de¬ partment in the institution. We cannot say they are brighter but are more in numbers than any class heretofore. In the Senior Class there are just an even dozen members. They are rejoicing that their “trials and tribulations” are nearly ended. ' Pile department is not dead, as the “skull and crossboncs” would seem to say. It is represented in athletics, band, or¬ chestra. and, in fact, nearly all student organizations of the college. A course in Campuslry and Astronomy has been added to the curriculum this year. The course at present is elective, though if some had their way it would be compulsory. Instructors: Harry (Worley) and Hootv (Davis). Class Motto: Come early; stay late; sit close. (Davis in¬ sists on this last clause.) Class Song: “We won’t go home till morning.” The class roll is steadily increasing. The requirements, in fact, for enrolling in this course are very limited. Those hav¬ ing the poorest qualifications often succeed the best. Experi¬ ence unnecessary. Credit is not given for time spent. Only intensity of appli¬ cation to the subject is considered. The work in this course is exceedingly pleasant and is becoming more popular every day. Opportunities in it are unequaled. ' tJrtrrinary §� rirnrr Once upon a time there was a man named Nelson. He signed his name S. B. Nelson ; S meant Sophus, and B meant from 85 to 90 on examination papers. Now this man Sopluts had studied all about animals, both in America and Germany, and had become very wise. Now Sophus. being very wise and also familiar with all classes and kinds of animals, decided to found a school in which he could gather together bright young men and other animals, both American and German, and teach them about each other. He would teach these young men to tear down or construct any animal, whether it be a Palousc side hill cayttse. or the finest bred Kentucky whip. Now, when Sophus had decided to do all this, he came to the Washington State College, knowing by repute that this institution abounded in all that was required to make his school a success; ' horses, a ses and bright young men. After much hesitation. Bryan told Sophus that he might have a corner of Science Hall for his school, if he would keep it clean, and not make too much noise. Now Sophus worked diligently, early and late; and at all times of the night or day the cries and groans of suffering animals could he heard from this corner of Science Hall, where Sophus and his bright young men relieved the theme of much pain and some¬ times their lives. Years went by, and Sophus increased in knowledge and wisdom, and his young men began to attract much attention by their wise looks and ability to tell if an animal would die or not die. Now, Sophus. seeing this increasing attention, made bold and asked Bryan for more room and money; and Bryan now began to see the importance of this school of Sophus’, and huilded buildings and hospitals for him. Now the wise looks and the knowledge of life and death of Sophus’ young men began to attract other young men to this school, and the school began to grow very rapidly. Now 67 REMAINS OF DR ' CLARK’S IDEA 68 this made the heart of Sophus glad, and he became bolder than ever before, and said unto Bryan : “My school is as large as any of yours; my young men arc as bright as any in your schools; my school is as important as any of yours, and I wish my school to be considered as one of yours, and not as a butcher shop. I wish my young men to have degrees of V. S. and B. S., and such letters as you give to the graduates from your schools ' Now Bryan, being a wise man and just, said unto Sophus: “Your young men shall have all the letters the same as I give in my schools, and your school shall not be called a butcher shop any more ' Now Sophus, being weary after all these years of toil, went on a long journey to repair his wasted nerves and see the animals of Colorado. Art Jack London ' s “Call of the Wild” could have little significance compared with the call for young and prom¬ ising artists. Not only is there great demand for ar¬ tistic work in these progres¬ sive times, hut there is an urgent and increasing call for promising lady artists. Safely can it he said that no¬ where in the state is there such facility for turning out the finished product as there is here in this department. Past experience has shown that a full course in this aesthetic art will suffice to land the candidate safely in the hands of hymen. Only one other de¬ partment in college can boast of a larger volume of bona fide transactions, and that is the department of President ' s Private Secretaryship. Young men, in their zeal to find favor in the President’s office, for¬ get that there is a quiet work in the northeast cor¬ ner of the third story in Science Hall where beauti¬ ful pictures, the product of still more beautiful hands, adorn the walls. Here the nucleus of refine¬ ment and culture is found; here it is that Cupid loves to dream; and here is blended the soft colors of last¬ ing affection. No uncouth spirit can pervade such atmosphere, and no apple of discord can ever fall. Venus reigns in all her beauty, and men who enter become Adonises. What Lorraine was to France, what Durer was to Germany, what Turner was to England, so is our Art Department to the Washington State College. military Urpartmrnt “All great things have small beginnings.” So it has been with the Military Department. From the two-company battalion a few years ago, it has grown, until now it is in full regimental formation of two battalions with three companies each. This is the one department of the col¬ lege that stands alone. No entrance prerequisites are neces¬ sary and no final examinations are required for graduation. However, it does require the uncouth “rookie” to drill for three years. The aforesaid raw recruit enters his company in the fall, with all the hopes of a Napoleon. He thinks by the time his three years are up that he will be able to take full command of the United States army. So, with this idea in view, he enlists to conquer (and to be conquered). After the first week’s drill he feels that he is a veteran. His first duty, he is told, is to obey his superior officers, anti accordingly when some one in uniform and with officious bearing comes to his room some dark night and orders him on duty, he obeys. He is posted to guard the Armory from an invasion of the Idaho Cadets who are expected to make a night attack to get the guns and ammunition. It is not long until an attack comes, which sends him flying to the “Dorm” a “deserter.” From this time on his military life is more sober. He settles down to real business and at the end of the third year he has a confidence in himself and a military training that will be of inestimable value in the broader life which is to come. Thus it is that the Military Department takes an active part in the process of evolution which changes ungainly, uncouth “rookies” into strong, broad minded and intelligent men. (Eljatr nf lEburatum We used to chronicle the affairs of Prepdom by referring to Sampson’s Pets. That day has pass¬ ed, and Professor Samp¬ son now looks out upon the college world from the newly created Chair of Education. About this chair gather the embryo teachers of the college, to learn the secrets by which the occupant so successfully trained the Preps of the past, and gave them the start which made of them the able college men of the present. To the courses in Psychology, School Law and State Constitution and History of Education is added a helpful course in the theory and practice of teaching, that the student may lie given an op¬ portunity of putting his theories to the test under the supervision of heads of the various departments of the college. Part of the work of this college, as defined by law, is to equip and train teachers of science. The students of the college now have an opportunity of getting this training from a man whose devotion to his profession and successful work in it have made him the inspiration of teachers throughout the state. Slip Alumni “By their fruits ye shall know them” is as true of colleges as of any other kind of institutions, or of individuals. It is by the finished product, after all, that the merits of the cur¬ riculum of a college are to he judged. If the success of her graduates in after life is to he taken as a criterion of the adaptability of the type of education for which the State Col¬ lege of Washington stands, and the particular way in whi ch that kind of education is carried out. to surrounding condi¬ tions. then the work of the State College is a great success. The first graduating class, consisting of seven persons, re¬ ceived their degrees in June, 1897. In all. nine classes, com¬ prising an aggregate of 131 persons, have received the bach¬ elor’s degree. These are now scattered all the way from Al¬ bany. N. Y. and Washington, 1 ). C.. to the far-off Philippines. Thus far, all of the alumni have been very successful. It is a noticeable fact that whenever one graduate goes into a com¬ munity and makes a success, there soon springs up a demand for more men of the same kind. The reason for this is per¬ haps not far to seek. The course of study in any department of the College, when compared to similar courses of many others of the best institutions of the country, will be found to be not comparatively easy. Practically all of the other courses are, on the other hand, strenuous. The fact that a young man or woman has the persistence and ability to complete a reg¬ ular course is in itself a proof of comparative mental supe rioritv. This point has been further demonstrated by the fact that students completing the course here and taking the bach¬ elor’s degree have been able to take a master’s degree on the completion of a single year of study in some of the largest universities in the United States. It may even be said that when the State College of Washington stamps the seal of her approval on the result of a student ' s efforts by granting him a diploma, he becomes forthwith “coin of the realm in intel¬ lectual power and usefulness. The organization of the Alumni, the State College of Washington Alumni Association, does much to maintain the interest of every graduate in the College, and to keep the tra¬ ditions of the institution alive among her sons and daughters. The annual meeting of the Association is held just after Com¬ mencement exercises, and consists of a business session, at which officers for the coming year are elected, and the annual dinner. 75 (jWfirrra 1905-fi %.T7 — President—.-.Fred Ford Flanders, ’02 First Vice President .

To the less thoughtful observer this may not appeal. In this generation we have heard of “The Strenuous Life,” “The Simple Life and even of the “Equitable Life.” but the object of this article is to acquaint the world with something higher and belter, a taste of Prep life. Our worthy patrons and guardians, the collegiates, are cer¬ tainly aware of our existence, yet only in a distant way.

It is fitly housed in the new conservatory building planned and erected for the convenience of the work, and a great work it is. The department of piano is constantly growing in public favor and there are now two teachers assisting Prof. Kimbrough in his very able and efficient labors. The Band, Orchestra and Glee Club, under the care of Prof. Strong, are so favorably known in the College and throughout the Northwest that there is little to be said. The leader of this department is such a tireless worker that it would be strange indeed if he did not succeed. But when we consider the high quality of that success with the materials at hand, it is still more remarkable. 1 he voice department has grown in numbers and zeal dur¬ ing the past year. Students of voice under the tuition of Mrs. Strong show careful training and correct methods. The con¬ servatory building is planned most admirably for musical study. Six teaching rooms, sixteen practice rooms, library and instrument rooms, together with a recital hall, make up an aggregate that leaves little to be desired. 88 (Cmiunmial Department That tribe best known as the “Commercialites” dwell almost exclusively on the second floor of College Hall. The fact that they are of a very reserved and modest nature, and never are guilty of rob¬ bing the Preps of any honors by entering any debates or contests, may lead some people to believe that the Commercialites are of little importance. This, however, is a serious mistake —just ask McCracken if it isn’t—for he knows their true value, and never tires of explaining to them the correct method of acquiring the nimble fingers which are so much demanded in the business world. Mr. Bean is also ever ready to tell of the good qualities found in his little band of book¬ keepers, who bend over their accounts with a determined look in their eyes, while he sits at his desk and smiles contentedly, with that precious key locked safely in the drawer, thereby causing the poor Commercialites many hours of searching for the missing dollar which has unbalanced his account. But complaints are never heard in this department, for the Commercialite knows that pa¬ tience is one of the essential elements of a business course. “Campustry” is a collegiate subject, and is not mentioned in this course. Let it be known, however, that any one wishing to make a credit in it may take it as a side issue. This can be done with perfect satisfaction—as has often been proved, providing the fact remains un¬ known to Mr. Bean, who is strongly opposed to Business students taking it; “For,” says he. “it’s hard on the eyes, producing a ‘far-away’ look.” 9i i FOR § rlj0nl for Artisans “We learn to do things by doing them.” The School for Artisans was organized for the purpose of teaching young men to become practical draftsmen and engi¬ neers. To accomplish this the student is set to work in the drafting room where he produces a working drawing of some machine. With these drawings in hand he enters the machine shop. Here an instructor teaches him the use of the tools and the machines and also furnishes him with the raw mate¬ rial from which, according to the drawings, the student evolves a completed machine. Early in the course the artisan becomes an assistant fire¬ man. He now learns to put into practice the instructions which he has received in the lecture room, and by studying and observing the various types of boilers here used, he is able successfully to operate the steam generating part of the power plant. From the boiler room the student receives an introduction to the House of Mysteries, the engine and dynamo rooms. Here the same general plan is followed; he is taught to oper¬ ate the engine, and from this the student gradually learns the use of the mysterious instruments, ammeters, voltmeters, rhe¬ ostats. switchboards and other instruments necessary in the production and distribution of electricity. In this course the artisan receives lectures from Professor Carpenter, the head of the electrical department. These lectures are followed bv actual construction of electrical distribution lines on plans which insures economy and safety. At the end of the work the student will have actually made drawings, done forge work, fired boilers, operated pumps and injectors, run engines and dynamos, used and kept in repair electrical instruments, and last but not least, the student will have acquired self-reliance which will enable him to undertake new work and bring it to a speedy and successful termination.

I had long wondered why Len Crosswell came over from the University at the end of his Sopho¬ more year and enrolled at the State College. He was a prince, was Len, but somewhat reserved, even moody at times, and since he never spoke of his reasons for changing, I always avoided the subject. In the fall of 1903, however, I learned the whole story—that is, all of it that had happened to date, and had the pleasure of seeing the later chapters unfold before my very eyes. A college frat. was indirectly responsible for it all; yet if Len had not been so eternally proud— but I’m getting ahead of my story. We had been on the government survey all sum¬ mer up in the glorious woods of Northern Idaho, where the grouse roost on your tent and the trout wriggle out of the water to meet you. On this par¬ ticular September day the smoke from the forest fires was so thick as to stop the work that we had planned, so I proposed to Len that we go for a little fishing trip below the beaver dams on the brawling North Fork. We had a jolly good time together, shooting a grouse occasionally as we followed the dim trail, or hooking the eager trout where we could get through the brush to the creek. Every quarter section had its log cabin, for the timber lands were valuable, but at this time of the year the cabins were nearly all deserted by the homesteaders. The latch strings were always out, however, which fact we took advantage of about noon, when we went into a large, well-built cabin to rustle some salt for the fish we wanted to cook. We stopped on the thresh- old as astonished as though we had stumbled into Aladdin ' s cave. What a contrast to the mud- chinked walls, bunk and smoky fireplace of the usual homesteader ' s cabin ! “It must belong to the Queen of Sheba, said Len. “Cast your optics over the layout, will you? Books, real chairs, pictures, curtains and cookstove. And look, Tom, there ' s a mirror; some fraulein has been around this ranch. We’ll be finding petticoats and hoop skirts next. She must have had forty mules to pack all this stuff over the mountains into this neck of the woods.” We were walking around, making a fairly thor¬ ough inspection of this place, when a slight noise at the door caused us to turn quickly. There she was at the door, standing at an easy parade rest with a little rifle, regarding us with half amused, half scornful, but superbly beautiful eyes. She was a stunner, I tell you, and the men’s togs she wore didn’t detract a bit from her beauty. I grabbed off my hat and said, rather lamely, as remembered afterward: “We—we were just looking around.” “So was I,” said the Queen. Poor Leu was looking everywhere but at the girl, as though he were considering the chances of escape by the little square windows or through the roof. Sheepishly enough, like any two rookies might have l een, we filed past her with a murmured word of apology and hit the trail for camp. When we were well out of the clearing in which the cabin stood, I began to laugh. “Think of it, Lennie, boy, letting a mere woman bluff us two college chaps like that. Did we ever see a woman before, or is her ladyship the first speci¬ men we ever saw? Let’s go back and tell her we went to a Prep reception once in Stevens Hall, so she’ll know we—” My merriment was suddenly checked by the look on the boy ' s face. He was actually pale under the tan and the two months’ growth of whiskers. “And she’s out here, he said, half to himself. So there was a fraulein in the case. But I had suspected that from the first, for a fellow doesn’t have fits of the dumps for a year or two unless there is a fair lady mixing up the woe for him. And he still cared so much as that! “Tell me all about it, laddie,” I said, in a moth¬ erly voice, though 1 wanted to laugh, for if there’s anything funny to a fellow, it’s to see another fel¬ low in love. “It was all so miserably trivial and foolish,” he said. “I loved her, of course, who wouldn’t? I got into trouble with her eccentric old daddy, whom she loves a lot more than he deserves. The old cod¬ ger used to have a turkey ranch out at the edge of town, and when I was initiated into the Sigma Nu, the fellows thought it would be a good stunt to have me steal three turkeys from the old man, whom my frat. brothers were well pleased to call my ‘fu¬ ture daddy in law.’ Well, 1 was caught with the birds; a big fuss was made; Myrtle sided with her old daddy, of course, and mole hills, which I might have explained away if l hadn ' t been such a fool, became mountains. Life at the ‘L’ had no more joys for me. So I came over to the State College; and now you have all there is to know.” II, An incident that happened a day or two later didn’t add any to Lea’s chances with our lady of the timber claim. We were running a line near the creek bottom when we heard a cracking in the brush to the right of us. “A deer,” whispered Leu, draw¬ ing his old 45 Colt’s. The steps drew slowly nearer, “crackle, crackle, crackle,” with the slight noise that a deer makes as he puts one foot carefully before the other when walking in the brush. We waited tense and expectant, Len with his six-shooter resting on his left arm, finger on the trigger. “The second his red hide shows at the edge of that open place,” he whispered, “I ' ll let him have it.” An instant later there was a glint of red through the leaves, a report from the gun, and with a fearful yell, a man wearing a red shirt bounded into full view. “You blitherin ' tenderfeet, he yelled, “can ' t von tell red flannel from a deer hide? No thanks to ou, but to your bad shoot in ' 1 that the daylight don ' t shine through me. ' lie stopped suddenly, looking hard at my companion. “I might have guessed that you wouldn ' t know any better.’’ he said, and strode off down the hill. In spite of the cold sweat that was all over me at the thought of the calamity we had so narrowly escaped, I had to laugh at the woe-begone expression on Len’s face as he ejaculated, “There goes the last chance of ever fixing it up with her turkey-raising dad.” The lad was too much shaken to he any good at the instrument for the rest of the day, so we pulled in. III. Not many days after this brilliant gun play, an inspiration came to me on learning from an old trapper who lived down the creek, that Chief Red Shirt and his charming daughter had gone to Coeur d ' Alene a day or two before and would be back that night. I confided the scheme to my love-lorn part¬ ner, who wasn’t very enthusiastic at first, but be¬ fore we were through he got to imagining that he had planned the whole thing. ‘ All ' s fair in love and war, 1 said, “and there ' s some of both in this affair of yours. You know the claim jumpers have been destroying location notices and burning cabins all around here. We’ll take one of our fellows from camp with us to-night to play the villain. We’ll fix a pile of brush against the cabin and wait in the edge of the clearing. Noise of horses on the trail, villain lights fire, enter two bold lads with guns, capture villain. Enter fierce fa¬ ther and darling daughter. All is forgiven, lady falls swooning into hero’s arms. Curtain !” I slapped the boy on the back, and he actually showed some signs of life; he had been a regular clam ever since he had tried to ventilate that red shirt. Just at dark we arrived at the cabin, Len and T and Jerry Foster, who had been in enough scrapes at college to he able to carry this one out all right. We fixed our little brush pile and waited. Not long after the big smoky red moon came up over the fir trees on the hill we heard the horses splashing through the ford just below. The fire blazed up against the cabin; Len fired four or five shots into the air, held the wretched culprit at the muzzle of his gun, and I was tramping on the fire, just as our friend Red Shirt and the Queen came galloping into the clearing. Talk about your class-night plays! We had the real thing. In the excitement the would-be claim jumper got off into the woods, and while the hero and the old gentleman were talking amicably to¬ gether about the advisability of pursuing the crim¬ inal, the Queen came up to me and said : ‘T know your little game. I know all about you and your camp. But vou ’11 come back to-morrow, won ' t von?” She was talking to me, but looking at Len. and from what 1 could see of her face in the moonlight. I knew that “they lived happily ever after would he tacked onto the end of their story. The next day was Sunday, so we shaved, greased our hoots, and hiked down to the claim. The Queen was dressed in woman ' s togs this time, looking as dainty and pretty as the best of them. The old man had the grace to go around behind the cabin to smoke his pipe and view the scenery. I soon fol¬ lowed to ask him if he had any more daughters like the Queen. Once or twice I saw a twinkle in his eyes, and 1 wondered if he wasn’t next to our little ruse, and if he hadn ' t secretly wished all these years for just what was going on around there in front Swppasp S’hr iKtuuus? When to the library she goes, I sit there all the while. And watch to catch—so foolish I !— Her merry, teasing smile, Suppose she knows? Her lips arc red. her eyes are blue.

Phil Daniels was foolish enough to have a con¬ science, and in his Senior year, too. It troubled him sometimes, though not often, it is true, because the most obtrusive one is usually brought under con¬ trol by the Sophomore year. But this conscience of his was a hit of a luxury—a kind of spiritual brandy and soda—to be indulged in only upon occasions. This night was most decidedly an occasion. He had just been reminded that some one’s trust must not be shaken, and he felt somewhat responsible. “What the deuce can I do, anyway?” He sat on the arm of the chair and thrust his hands into the depths of his trousers’ pockets, trying to find con¬ solation there, while a letter stared up at him ac¬ cusingly from the table, bringing memories of a girl—the Girl from the W est Side of the state. Rapid steps sounded along the hall, the door was thrown open, and his Freshman roommate entered. “Hello, 01111),” said the Senior. “Where from now?” The Freshman nodded, threw off his overcoat and replied, as he lighted a cigarette: “Just a little feed at the Hall after the dance.” Phil despised cigarettes and knew that the girl on the West Side did, too. Something about the Fresh¬ man, her brother, made him think of her, and he covertly folded the letter he had been reading and placed it out of sight. “How are you making it in your work? We aren’t together as much as we used to be. It hardly seems, sometimes, that we are roommates.” Chub flushed for a moment, and then answered with an assumption of carelessness: “About the same, I guess. What makes you ask?” “I noticed on the bulletin lx ard to-day that you were wanted at the registrar ' s office.” “Yes,” replied the other with a gesture of annoy¬ ance. “Jimmie thought he had to jack me up a bit. Remembrance of that responsibility assumed for the sake of the boy’s sister prodded the Senior’s con¬ science again. He had known that his roommate was behind in his studies, but he had never thought about it seriously before. “What’s the matter?” he queried. “Trig, I guess. 1 flunked the last exam.” The Senior had heard certain rumors, so he cau¬ tioned insistently: “How’s your lab. work? All up in Chemistry?” “No. I’m not,” snapped the Freshman, lie was growing angry under this questioning. It disclosed too intimate a knowledge of things he did not wish to think about. When he was having a good time lie never thought of these matters, and now he had just come from the dance and was inclined to pleas¬ ant thoughts. “All right. I’ll go over your trig with you to¬ morrow and Sunday, if you like.” “Thanks, old man! Rut I can’t. Miss Gordon and T are going for a drive to-morrow, and Sunday there’s a trip planned for Snake river with a crowd of girls from the Hall. Miss Gordon lias some friends coming down from Spokane, and we want to see that they have a jolly time.” “See here. You ' ll have to cut out some of that kind of business if you arc to stay in college. Jim told me to-day that you haven’t been near the lab. for a week, and I’ve noticed myself that you have been cutting drill lately.” “Yes, I know. But you see—” “No. I don’t see,” broke in the older man. “You’ve lost your head completely.” He paused, drummed on the table nervously for a minute, and then, impelled by the memory of the girl ' s trust in Chub, and the inquiries in the letter he had l)een reading, went over and put his hand on the hoy’s shoulder. “Come, Chub, that course flunked other fellows, and it will flunk you. She’s not worth it. old man. A fellow ought to have enough control over himself to keep at his studies. You know what your sister and mother expect of you, yet you’re not doing it. Brace up, Chub, and cut it out.” But the Freshman threw off the friendly hand and flushed with the quick anger of inexperience. “I wish to hear no criticism of Miss Gordon. Be¬ sides, I intend to do what 1 please. It’s no business of yours, anyway.” Then, in great wrath, this irate young Freshman left the room with undignified haste, and banged the door after him. The Senior gaped in surprise and resisted an ar¬ dent desire to mix things with the Freshman in a i rough house. Then arose within him a feeling of resentment against such girls as Grace Gordon; a girl with a record of half a dozen men flunked, a girl that would let a boy make a fool of himself, and what is worse, help him to do it with all the arts gained by half a dozen summers at the seashore. The Freshman was simply a young fool. What dif¬ ference did it make? Daniels was not to blame. If only the boy’s mother and sister did not have such absurd faith in him. If they could only realize that he was very human, and had some faults—. But Chub was all they had left; he had always been a child to them. And now, if lie should flunk out, would not Phil be partly to blame? Was it not Phil’s duty, as a friend of the family, to see that he got started right in college? From Chub ' s overcoat pocket a bill had fluttered to the floor. Phil picked it up. It was, as he sup¬ posed, unpaid. He knew what the girl on the West Side had not told him—that it was something of a struggle to make lx th ends meet and keep the boy in college. Certainly, livery bills of this amount were unnecessary. “Here ' s a sweet job for a Senior, looking after a fool of a Freshie who ought to he in dresses still. I see my finish as chaperone!” In the depths of the Morris chair, with his feet on the table, the Senior and the conscience and the letter planned it all out between them. Phil was a man of action when he had decided upon any course, so lie went to Jim Wylie’s room and pounded on the door till Wylie sputtered out, “Come in.” Jim, who had also been at the dance, sat surrounded by the remains of a feast. Some of the fellows had gath¬ ered there after the dance to talk it over and get a bite to eat before turning in. Jim was famous for his supply of good things and for his hospitality, so Phil had expected as a matter of course to see signs of a feed. Jim grunted cheerfully and pointed to the box. “Just in time, old man. Box from home. Pitch in. Boys were here and expected you, but didn ' t wait, he said, with a cheerful mixture of conversation and cr limbs. Daniels grinned regretfully, and sat down on the edge of the bed. “What sort of a time did you have to-night? ' ’ It pleased Wylie to rattle out an account of the dance and of the Sunday trip to the river. He rather liked to talk about his social doings, especially before some of the anti-society men of the Dorm, like Phil—“Trying to show ' e m how to enjoy life, he termed it. The Senior listened and rummaged in the box for something to eat, but without success. “Don ' t suppose you could find me a girl in your crowd for Sunday, could you?” he ventured. “You?” The other man began to stare as if Phil had suggested robbery. Then, remembering that a Junior should be equal to all occasions, “It can be done, I guess, if you’re serious. Are you?” “Sure.” “Well! This is a trifle late and the crowd’s made up, but I’ll get somebody.” “Isn’t Miss Gordon to have some friends down from Spokane to-morrow?” “The very thing, to be sure! I’ll fix this up for von the first thing in the morning.” And the next morning he “fixed it up” and Phil went to the River in the same carriage that held Chub and Miss Gordon. It is one of the fortuitous—or deplorable—fea¬ tures of Pullman social economy that a well con¬ ducted college love affair, once it has been well start¬ ed, can take care of itself without much looking after from the two persons chiefly concerned. The look¬ ing after will be attended to by the chaperones, usu¬ ally made conspicuous by their absence, and bv the peculiar attitude of people commonly found in small college towns. Ever} ' one is considerate of the feel¬ ings of the two supposed to be enthralled by Cupid, and no one evidences any desire to place obstacles upon the course of the happy pair. The college world most particularly loves a lover. It finds him interesting, and discovers a great many things about him, some of which not even he himself suspects. But Daniels did not even wait to give the authors of social fiction any field for their talents. Before the week was over, all the college could see was that the famous anti-society man, who had resisted the charms of all maidens alike through four years, had become glittering spoil for Miss Gordon. She ac¬ cepted this view as part of her expected right, and with feminine vindictiveness paraded Phil before the eyes of all the Hall girls with whom he was on more or less friendly terms. Phil, as has been mentioned, was a man of action. During the winter he lost no opportunity to make his presence with Miss Gordon a familiar sight, and when the soft spring days came, long walks and drives gave the gossips material which changed their former speculation to certainty. Then everybody in society, having nothing left to the imagination, pit¬ ied poor Chub. The latter, with a perseverence worthy a better cause, clung to the favors that Grace found time to extend, but when she, changeable and forgetful, gave his only dance at the Junior Prom to a visiting Junior from Moscow, he pitied himself. Xo Freshman, however, dies of a broken heart: he conies nearer to it from overeating. So Chub, after the first month of disappointment ending with a few nights out and the painful reflections of the morn¬ ing after, settled down to his work again and did it fairly well, having nothing else to do. As for the Senior, while he could not altogether cease his attentions to Miss Gordon after he had driven the Freshman away, he made his devotion far less marked and even showed an inclination to resume his former calls upon other young ladies. For a girl of Grace ' s type this was a new experience, and it puzzled her. Just before commencement week, came an offer from one of Phil’s friends of a position in the Gov¬ ernment service, and when he had finished the note of acceptance he sat at his table for hours, trying to write a letter to the Girl on the West Side all about his plans for the future, and to ask her—no matter what—they ' re all alike when the time conies. At last, when it was finished, he sat for a long time on the window ledge and built air castles, while the breath of the pleasant spring night caressed him, lending soft assurance to his happy thoughts. It was class night that the reply came. She had written simply, directly, as lie knew she would, lie had never questioned her decisions and he did not this one; but it hurt, more than he cared to own, especially that half sentence about Grace, which held a thought that the answer might have been different. Somehow, he could not help blaming Chub with that. “Pm sorry, Phil. I ' ve cried alxait it, but that has not helped in this. You won ' t blame me too much, will von? It ' s No, Phil. They told me about you and Grace, and f don ' t feel — M Laura. That was all. Tt was nothing ' blit a few sentences, but it destroyed for him the hopes he had cherished ever since that summer at Olympia, six years ago, when he had first met her. He read it in his room after his return from the class-night farce, and it was there that Jim W ylie found him. “Coming down to the room, now? asked the Junior. “The fellows are having a feed and— “No, Jim. I’m not hungry tonight. I think I ' ll turn in. Daniels threw himself on the bed. In the other room some one was playing a mandolin, softly, so as not to disturb the sleepers in the next rooms. He, too, was not coming back the next year, and there were not many more nights left of his life in the old Dorm that had been home to him through four years, and the voice of the instrument sank to a whisper as it told the feeling that cannot be put into words. Phil was reflecting bitterly. “Just because that fool of a Freshman could not leave Grace Gordon alone— that was the cause of it. He had been given no chance to explain. But then, what could he have said ? On the night of the last day of a Sen ior ' s life in the college on the hill, we visit again those places where our interests have l een so intimate for the past few years. Yc leave the crowded reception at the Hall and wander out into the open air to say good-bye. Up at the Gym they are dancing, and out into the warm, living night pulse the rhythmic tones of the violins, and we watch the lights scat¬ tered over the campus till they become blurred and we choke at the memories of the four years that are gone for us. There will never be a dearer place in our hearts than this same old college, where we have known the best of it—and the end of it. Daniels wandered passively, watching the throng. He found himself among the dancers at the Gym, i and sought Grace Gordon with the inactive interest of a man who has nothing to win and nothing to lose. He had always been the master, and to the woman it meant more than she cared to acknowl¬ edge. She was strangely silent, and as they prom¬ enaded over the lantern-bedecked campus, he idly contrasted her with the Girl on the West Side. Miss Gordon was the more beautiful, with a stately, self- poised, superb grace. Her beauty was her greatest worth. Phil realized that with an ache at his heart. Yet the little drama had been pleasant, even with the hurt it had wrought in the end, and he was half sorry to see the curtain fall. The music began for the next dance, and Phil started back with her to the Gym. At the entrance she paused. “Have you the next dances engaged, Phil?” “No.” The girl stepped quickly back, as if reluctant to enter. “Ask me for all of them, Phil. I’m tired of dan¬ cing. She laughed a little nervously, and they moved, away together. Back in the Gym, Wylie, searching desperately for his partner, fou id her not, neither then nor later. A fitful breeze stirred the Japanese lanterns, and here and there the candles began to sputter and go out. A lantern in front of them tipped, blazed brightly for a moment, and dropped at their feet, a charred shred. “It s just that way with us, isn ' t it, Phil? We blaze here a moment, and then —her voice broke a little—“go out for all time. You to-night and T next year. The musicians struck up the last piece, and the couple, like many another, paused to listen. The Senior stood idly watching the lanterns sputter and die. likening them to one of his own hopes, while the girl stood mute, weaving her handkerchief in and out between her fingers. The baud was playing a college waltz song, and all the dancers were sing¬ ing it. The Senior clenched his hands. How many times had he heard that same song? This time it had a new significance. It was the last time for him to hear it, for his Senior year was over to-night. The tired musicians packed their instruments. The dancers trooped towards the hall, from which the crowd had long before departed. Daniels looked at his watch and saw it was after twelve. Senior year had gone. At the south porch of the Hall they paused. “Good night, Phil.” “Good-bye.” The Senior turned and walked slowly toward the Dorm. This was the end. “All because a fool Freshman — 99 From the porch Grace watched him go. And the girl knew that she, too. was alone. 113 Kjtfr 31s Dust A JJnlltj S’nuy Come join our throng in a happy song We’ll tarry not for sorrow; Chase grief away, he gay to-day.

A girl leaned idly over the one railing of the little old footbridge and looked down into the lazy stream that neither babbled nor gurgled, but just slipped along over its smooth bed, scarcely whispering to itself. It pictured the blue skv and the white cloud billows, the few trees that grew along its edge, the old footbridge, and the girl. The picture was good¬ ly to look upon, and perhaps that was why the girl lingered so long. At least she gazed very intently down into the brook where she saw a twin to herself clad in a cool white shirtwaist suit and a side-tilted straw sailor, that exactly matched her own. Finally she turned half-way round and yawned, grimaced at herself in the brook, and sighed. Then she turned to the little dog, who also had been gaz¬ ing at himself in the brook, and shook her finger at him accusingly. “This calm beauty is good enough to inspire sen¬ timent and amateur poems, but I find I’m getting- tired of it, so there, now, Hex. And really, aren’t you, too? Don’t you wish we had something to dor She sank down on a large rock by the side of the stream and gazed disconsolately at her small canvas Oxfords. Hex evidently did not consider the ques¬ tion worth answering, for he merely laid himself down with his nose on his paws and closed his eyes. Suddenly a step was heard on the bridge and both girl and dog looked up to see a tall young man with a gun on his shoulder. The girl was so startled that she looked straight at him. When he had passed she still absently stared into space. “Now where in the world have I seen him before?” she mused, wrinkling her forehead, “where in the world? 115 Then, “He must have come from that white house up there ' looking down the path across the bridge. “Come, Ilex, the sun is going down ' and the girl and the dog turned down the path in the same direc¬ tion that the young man had taken. That evening at the supper-table her Uncle Andy remarked, “Newmans have got a summer boarder, I guess. T saw a young feller out guunin’ this even¬ ing and he went in there. Looks like a college fel¬ ler, maybe.” “No, he’s not a boarder,” said Mrs. Corson. “He’s Mr. Newman’s old friend’s son. But he is from college all right. Mrs. Newman told me all about him. I kind of think he ' s from the same one you’re from, Marjorie. His name’s Howard Rich¬ mond.” “Richmond,” murmured Marjorie, and suddenly her brow cleared and she laughed. “Aunt Nell,” she cried, leaning forward, “did you tell Mrs. New¬ man that I’m from the Washington State College? Tell me, did you ?” ii “Why—ee, T—why, no—I don’t think T men¬ tioned it. Did you want—” “Well, then, don’t. And Uncle Andy, don ' t you, either. They won’t ask you, but if they should, turn it off; don’t tell.” Her uncle and aunt both laughed. They were not so very well acquainted with their niece and her “freakish” ways, but they were both goodnatured and were growing to like her. As Mrs. Corson re¬ marked that evening: “She’s an odd girl, but I think she has a very sweet disposition, and she’s very pretty. When the end of the month comes we’ll miss her dreadfully.” Marjorie had heretofore been a daily visitor at the brook and the next day found her again down by the bridge, this time comfortably seated on the bank under the shade of the big, old tree. She had just opened her book, after reproving Hex for barking at a squirrel in the tree, when she saw the stranger of the day before coming down the path from the white house. He was sauntering carelessly along. apparently absorbed in watching the sky. Marjorie watched him, though she seemed to be reading, and slowly stroking Hex. The squirrel in the tree grew interested and stopped chattering to watch the pro¬ ceedings. And he noticed that just as the man step¬ ped on the edge of the bridge, Marjorie ' s hand ceased its long, even strokes and gave Hex a quick, forcible push. He also heard a splash, a dismal howl, and a cry of distress. Then he saw Mr. How¬ ard Richmond pull a dripping, bedraggled bundle of fur out of the water, while Marjorie stood by with her hands clasped in fright. “Oh, thank you! thank you! Let me have him! How good of you! He must be nearly drowned! How could it have happened ?” Mr. Richmond still held the dog. ‘Tm glad to have saved him. Xo, I really can’t understand it. It was very awkward of the dog. And dogs are so liable to drown, too.” i Marjorie shot a quick glance at him. 11 is face was perfectly serious, although she thought she de¬ tected something besides seriousness in his voice. “Give him to me,” she said. “Hadn ' t I better take him, lie ' s so wet, and your—” he glanced at her fresh white dress. “Well—he—ah—he could walk.” “Yes, of course, but he might tribe cold, you know.” Marjorie looked up quickly. “You’re laughing, she said crossly. “Laughing! upon my word, Lm not, and I really think you’d better let me carry him. f haven ' t a card, but my name ' s Howard Richmond, of Port¬ land, and I’m spending a few weeks with my friends, the Newmans. My father’s name is Charles How¬ ard Richmond, and he’s a wholesale dealer in books and artist’s materials. My mother’s maiden name was Frances Matilda Lanev. I have three brothers —John, Frank, and Will; one sister, Vera Eli- nore —” Marjorie clasped her hands over her ears and screamed, “Oh, stop! stop! “Pardon me, really, 1 beg your pardon. How- thoughtless of me to keep you waiting. Come, let’s go. And the squirrel, who had heard every word, watched them go down the path, noticed that Hex was frolicking along behind them, taking cold. $ “Goodness, Marjorie, said Mrs. Corson, a couple of weeks later, “only three days more of your visit. I’d ask you to stay longer if there were anything here to interest—” “Oh, Aunt Nell, do ask me—I’m awfully fond of you and Uncle Andy and—I—I just love this place. It was the last of August. Marjorie and Howard Richmond sat under the big tree by the brook. The squirrel sat on the longest limb and looked down at Hex, who was too lazy to bark at him. All four i had been watching the gorgeous reds and yellows of the sunset. Now the western glow was fading to the gray of ashes when the embers have died out, and twilight was settling around them. The squir¬ rel was thinking of going in to bed when he heard Howard ' s voice, and paused to listen. “Do you remember that this is our last evening, Marjorie? To-morrow I must go back to Portland to get ready for college in September. “And to-morrow I must pack up, so that I can leave the next day for—somewhere else,” said Mar¬ jorie. “This is the place where I saw you first, and where we fished Hex out that day, and I brought you here this evening to tell you something. He stood up so suddenly that the squirrel ran down the hollow tree-trunk in alarm. It was long before he dared venture out again, and when lie did be beard Marjorie’s voice saying: “Howard, my conscience never has l een quite comfortable since I met you. I—I’d like to ‘less up ' tonight. You know that day that 1 fex fell in the brook; well, I—1 pushed him in.” “You cruel girl! And you pretend you care for him.” “Well,” indignantly, “do you think I don’t know dogs can swim? Why, I ' ve seen him go in and swim lots of times since then.” “Well,” answered Howard, “since you have con¬ fessed. I will, too. I saw you push him in.” “You saw me? Then you were laughing! There! I always thought so!” “Oh, I—that is—oh, Marjorie, just think, T won ' t see you for a whole year. What a pity we don ' t both go to—” I IQ “But T, Howard, I’m not through confessing. I never would have pushed Ilex into the brook and got you to fish him out if 1 hadn ' t known you. “Known me—” “And you didn’t recognize me—Don’t you re¬ member, 1 met you last winter at the Junior Prom?” “What! Not the Junior Prom at— “At the Washington State College.” “You mean—” “That T m a Washington State College girl; and that for a whole year I’ve—” But here the squirrel fell to chuckling, so that he had to back into the tree trunk, and Ilex started for home in disgust. QJIjp iKitrala He entered college as a Freshman in 1904 , and soon won popularity in all classes by his generous disposition and strict attention to business. His ability as an athlete was of no mean degree, and he soon became noted as the best extemporaneous speaker in school. In all strong characters, however, there is a weak spot, and the particular weak spot in his was jealousy. One day there came to the in¬ stitution another, who was petted and admired by all. One whose good looks and kind disposition at once claimed a share of the popularity our friend had enjoyed exclusively. Envy rankled in his bo¬ som, which the growing popularity of this new ar¬ rival had no tendency to abate. He was now often neglected by his most intimate friends; even Ivrea- ger would pass him with a distant nod, and at the same time greet his rival affectionately. At last he could stand it no longer. “I will thrash this insolent buttinsky,” he exclaimed. That evening a violent conflict took place, and the stu¬ dents rushed out to see what was happening, and all that could be distinguished in the melee was a stub¬ eared dog tightly clutched in the arms of a small black bear. Squirt and Toodles had “mixed.” A Htrto of lifatoa By Tiieopiillus Philosophizer. Satan smiled in an “I-thought-so” manner. ‘ ' Sin¬ ner, you have been laboring under a delusion re¬ garding my character,” he said. “1 a fiend? How can the Earth-born think of me in that light? l)o they not know that I was well raised ? You say you have heard evil things about me. My dear Sinner, all the sin I have learned has been taught me by the Earth-born, and there is no sin in Plades that was not broug ht here by the Earth-born. Dear, dear, they have been scandalizing me. So it was before I—I fell from grace. Knockers, knockers every¬ where, and politics till you can’t rest. Never mind, the fires of Hades burn brightly, and are everlast¬ ing.” Satan twisted his Emperor William mus¬ tache, and smiled wisely. I had not intended to hurt Satan’s feelings by tell¬ ing him that I believed him to be the personification of all evil; but he seemed almost heartbroken. So 1 sought to mollify him by explaining that as I had but recently arrived in Hades my impressions un¬ doubtedly were inaccurate; that I had neglected to get a “Homeseekers’ Guide” hack at the Styx cross¬ ing, and Charon had been very taciturn, indeed al¬ most surly, when ferrying me over. Satan sighed heavily. ‘‘Poor Charon, he is worked half to death,” he said. “I really hope he did not offend you. He works so hard, poor fellow, he is irresponsible with exhaustion half the time. Why, the other day when he was ferrying the Standard Oil delegation across 121 lie upset the boat, and came near drowning the sin¬ ners. Ha! ha! I ' ll warrant you they drank more water on that occasion than they had in years. And the waters of the Styx were so flavored with brim¬ stone, owing to the fact that I had been cleaning my furnaces, that the erstwhile magnates were made very ill indeed. T plunged in to rescue them, for¬ getting that I had lately been at the furnaces. The heat of my body turned the river into steam at about jooo° Centigrade, and Charon, boat, magnates and I were blown half way to the roof of Hades. Poor Charon, no wonder he is ill-tempered. The Stand¬ ard Oil delegation? At present they are occupying the apartment reserved for the Washington State College faculty. Yes, they are dried off now—good and dry, I assure you. Ila! ha! “I have a very embarrassing confession to make. Sinner, ' ' ' he continued in manifest confusion. ‘AVe lack room, floor-space, so to speak. Hades was not built with the intention of accommodating political bosses, trust underlings, college frat sinners, and other types of the iniquitous which have developed under the influence of twentieth century thought. We shall have to have more room, and if possible 1 shall induce my Cabinet to introduce a bill at the next session of the Commons to put a suspension bridge across the Styx. Traffic is getting too heavy —Charon cannot handle half of it.” “Mercy, I must leave you exclaimed Satan, looking at bis watch. “I was to be present at a cab¬ inet meeting at a quarter past one, and here it is nearly two o ' clock. How forgetful I am getting— J was late at a cabinet meeting a million years ago —almost yesterday. 1 must be more punctual. Well, ta, ta, Sinner. You will have to amuse your¬ self till I can find a place for you.” He vanished in a cloud of smoke, muttering- dis¬ contentedly about Charon ' s being overworked, and the needed suspension bridge across the Styx. While I stood, wondering, pondering, trying to figure how long it would be till the end of eternity, if a million years ago was “almost yesterday,” as Satan had said, a strange thing happened. At first I was surprised, but quickly remembered that, thanks to an over-plenty of dormitory hash, and indigestion occasioned thereby, I was no longer subject to the commonplace events of terrrestrial existence. I turned into smoke. In this state I drifted upward, lengthening out into a spiral coil till I resembled the sinuous, winding column of a whirlwind. Higher and higher I went. A great, hideous vulture flew through me, greatly to my alarm; but I experienced no discomfiture, and remembering where I was, cheered up. As 1 floated higher in the air, I noticed, far to¬ ward the horizon, a great blaze of bluish red flame, which at times flattened out, and immediately after flattening would shoot quickly upward in the form of a pyramid. ] was not long in discovering that 1 was drifting toward this flame. The discovery alarmed me greatly. My theolog¬ ical training while on Earth had led me to believe that after transition the soul became free from all earthy weaknesses, except one—susceptibility to fire. Several vultures flew past me or through me as they chose, and I experienced no unpleasant sensations. But a feeling of uneasiness stole over me as L drifted nearer to the great pyramid of flame. What would have happened to me had T floated into this flame I can only conjecture. The unex¬ pected saved me. A queer, unreal monster rushed by me. I cannot describe it, except that it had a long, finny back, huge, glaring eyes, and glowed ill changing colors, principally shades of red and green. 1 was drawn into the vacuum, aided by the flight of the creature, and, lengthening out into a long, thin line of smoke, I followed it, 1 know not how far. When at last the monster drew away from me the mountain of flame was nowhere in sight. By this time I had risen to such an elevation that nothing was visible below me, except a blue, smoky haze which thickened till it obscured completely the topography of Hades. I curled and twisted hither and thither, entirely unable to regulate my actions. I smiled to think how amazed 1 should have been to find myself in this state while existing in the Clayey Form. After drifting a long time 1 began to wonder if there were such things as derelict souls in Hades, and if I were not in danger of becoming one. Cer¬ tainly it was confusing to drift about in this man¬ ner, having no control whatever over myself. Then I began to wonder what my elevation was. With this came a fear that I should resume my solid state —then what? Doubtless I should fall thousands of feet, and he crushed into an unrecognizable mass. And the fear was realized almost as soon as the thoughts came to me. Down I went. Down, down, with the speed of a meteor, whence I knew not, for¬ ever and ever—it occurred to me that here it was I should begin doing penance for ponying in exams, shirking drill, deceiving the professors—and this was to last forever—and yesterday was a million years ago. Smash! I awoke. “Here, you Reuben, fetch back those hed clothes,” growled my roommate. “T told you not to eat that mince pie.” 1 had fallen out of bed. 124 Itfb mb % i umg flariir Crouched between a large boulder and a gnarled, scraggy pine tree. Bob, a fine specimen of the Cana¬ dian lynx, was basking in the warm, congenial sun¬ shine, when a strange sound reached his ears. A swift glance around him told him that he had many avenues of escape, so he remained quietly to await further developments. Soon two men appeared toiling up the steep, winding trail. They possessed the characteristic ap¬ pearance and scent of his hated enemies, the trap¬ pers and prospectors; but that funny sound! Bob had never heard a laugh before—it was catching. He could hardly refrain from jumping up and bounding about. But his years of experience on the Le Feurs and Kellogg Mountains had made him cautious, so he lay still and purred softly as he watched intently every movement of the two men. Perhaps there lurked within the deeper convolutions of his cerebellum the prenatal memories of that far- off period when man and the folk of the furtive wild were far less separated, when each struggled not for the extinction of the other, but for his own existence. Quite unconscious of Bob’s presence, the two. care-free and jolly, bent busily to the completion of their task. There was something strangely inter¬ esting about them, and, as they passed, Bob followed them to the summit of the mountain and watched them at their work. A few days later, while on one of his casual ex¬ cursions, Bob encountered the same men at the mouth of the Little North Fork. But now there were more than two—as many men as he had toes 12, on liis forefeet. Bob figured out. At night-fall lie crept close, and watched them gathered about the camp-fire. The talk was about triangular travers¬ ing, leveling, geological survey, and later it turned to a college, somewhere—far, far off. And he gath¬ ered that it was the best in the world, with the love¬ liest and truest girls, and that it was called the Washington State Colleg e. All summer Bob was a constant follower of the survey outfit. Though his tracks were often in evi¬ dence in the dusty trails or in the soft mud of the river banks, he never allowed himself to lx? seen. The party divided but he kept track of both, dividing his time between them. Slowly he picked up a great deal of information, and became, so to speak, ac¬ quainted with each man in the outfit. He knew that the large, stalwart man, who walked so fast and always carried the shiny instrument and whom all i obeyed was Ralph, the chief: the short, heavy-set man, who was always either laughing or singing, jolly, though lie couldn ' t grow a moustache, was Jean, the assistant; the dark, slim fellow, with the ambling walk, was Hatchet; the spare, gloomy-look- ing fellow with the brindle beard was Andy; and the hungry-looking, li ttle “sissy-boy. who never went far from camp, was “Hop Ski, the cook. In his own wild, primal way Bob knew they were out on the survey during the college vacation; earn¬ ing the money necessary to carry them through an¬ other year at the beloved college. They were doing things, doing them with a will and in a way which brought praise from their superiors. While resting from their books, they were doing good, hard, prac¬ tical work; which, aside from its pecuniary returns, was training them for the greater work they will be called to do when their college course is completed. In the rough wilds of the mountains they were learn¬ ing many chapters of the great lesson of self-reli¬ ance, gaining confidence in their own ability to sur¬ mount difficulties, and turn defeat into victory. Da y by day, as he watched them. Bob could see in his wild primitive fashion, how they gained strength with the completion of each difficult undertaking, how their ability to secure results improved. But autumn came, and with it the storm that pre¬ sages winter in the mountains. Sometimes work was impossible for days, and Bob, as he crept near the tents at evening, heard the talk turn to college. studies, fair ladies—and dear sisters, and of return¬ ing to the mountains and the survey next spring. And one morning he saw them break camp for a long move. He followed them for many miles un¬ til they came to the outskirts of civilization, when his native instincts forbade him to go farther, and lie returned to his accustomed winter lair, wonder¬ ing if they would really come again with the advent of spring, as do the wild geese and the ducks who bring to the furtive folk of the forest the first tidings of the close of the bleak and desolate winter. In his savage heart Bob hoped the survey party would re¬ turn. Drills E Mine R-5tu£i o|EJ)c«i«t5mirti ___rni 5 FDR THE SEMIDR - FpRE510hK TBTTTAN PU7VTHE RDT Tf f CLl B OUT DF BU5INE5 5 Junior Jjrnm. I ' he Society Editor was working late. Getting her notes and jottings in shape. When, wearied, she stopped her work with sighs, And momentarily closed her eyes. While she rested, there came to her a spirit. Who sweetly said (or did she dream it?) The following story, strange and weird : “Some years ago, when your college was young. I was named among her favorite sons. But on pranks and mischief too much intent. Made too many D’s and back home was sent. This change so on my feelings wrought That at home I was exceedingly cross. Till finally my fairy godmother sentenced me To spend nine months, a year, at the W. S. C. So here I ' ve been for several years. Many’s the prank I’ve seen well through. And, to tell the truth, have helped some, too. But of late an idea has come to me That I of some use could very well be. On the Annual work I’ve longed for a part. But somehow could never get a start. And still, right here it seems to me Is a chance for me a success to be. At social functions—I’m always there, Be it dance or party, wet or fair, And now of you I beg apart, Let me your social news impart.” The Society Editor stirred in her chair. Said she, “Pen and paper you’ll find right there.” Then she went to sleep without reserve, And slept the sleep the fair deserve. When she awoke it was early morning, And a mass of writing her table adorning ' Fold in merry verse and prose sedate Of social doings both old and late. And here it is, if you believe her, As the spirit left it for the reader. “The Spirit of ’06, a creature fair. There is, whose chief delight, alas. And sometimes her despair— Is to direct the wandering footsteps of her class. One day. it was last year! To her assembled followers She thus did her decree declare: For nigh three years with tender care Have I protected you from trap and snare, As verdant Freshmen I enthused A college spirit into you, And then as Sophomores watched it grow. 30 Till now a Junior blossom, it should blow. And show to all the school And to the world beside That in your college you have some pride! So listen well to what I have to say. You know above you there is set. As high as you above the Prep, A class of Seniors grave and wise. And, though to them ’twere no surprise. A Junior Prom, we will prepare With trimmings that will make them stare. With arts and wiles the ear 1 11 get Of Prexy, and if he do not oppose, I will obtain His sanction to the programme 1 have named. Meanwhile committees you select For program, music and the rest, And decorations we must see Are plentiful as the Gym. shall need. The Class declare with wild acclaim The Prom, shall be their only aim! The night came round, The guests were there, The orchestra, attuned to a sweet air: Gay colors flashed, white, blue and red. And bright lights sparkled overhead. The grand march started And wound about the hall. When at its close in clear relief There flashed upon the wall A starry shield which bore ‘ ’05, ‘06.’ Pile dancers danced, The hours went by. The lime to go came round, As times to stop must always come. And as the dancers left the door They hoped to come to the Proms some more. After reading this wonderful tale of the Junior Prom., the society editor too k up the next paper and found it to be a de¬ scription of Commencement, 1905, at the Washington State College. (Slnmtttntrrmrnl 1905 June 18, 1905, saw the beginning of the most elaborate commencement exercises ever held at Washington State Col¬ lege. Preston W. Search began it by giving the baccalaureate address, and until Chancellor Andrews of Nebraska had fin¬ ished, on the following Thursday, with a beautiful speech, there was not a single ‘moment when every aesthetic sense might not be satiated with the beauty and magnificence of the spectacle. By day there was the solemn impressive procession of men and women in caps and gowns, conferring of degrees on graduates, post graduates, and on men and women high in the esteem of the college. By night there was moonlight and music, receptions and dances, until the Senior forgot his solemn face, and old professors seemed renewed in youth. But all things must end, so, when the last alumnus had de¬ parted from the banquet, and the last graduate had gone down the old familiar path with many a backward glance, and all was quiet on the hill, the rain fell and washed out the foot¬ prints of the departed ones and the Class of 1905 became a memory. - - Becoming more interested in each paper, the editor was encouraged to continue what seemed to be an almost endless task: so, drawing a paper at random from the pile before her on the table, she found herself in fancy going the rounds of an opening reception in Stevens Hall. (Ppimittg iRmptum President Bryan ' s announcement that “many interesting at¬ tachments date from this occasion. ' brought everybody out- faculty and students, both new and old, to the opening recep¬ tion given in Stevens Hall by the V. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Here two or three hours were spent in introductions, greetings, chatting, and drinking punch; new attachments were formed and old ones renewed: the old student was be¬ wildered by the many new faces lined up against the wall, while the new student had said, “I ' m pleased to meet voir’ so many times that he began to wonder whether or not it was really true. But at last the babble of voices gradually ceased and everyone left feeling acquainted with everyone else. - 7 - The spirit told so interestingly of all these beautiful gath¬ erings that when the next one, which was the Senior Banquet, was taken up, the editor was thoroughly interested as in a novel. Orator Uan art On December the eighteenth, “there was a sound of revelry by night. for the good 06 Class had gathered in the great dining room of Stevens Hall, her beauty and her chivalry. ' Seated about the S-shaped table with its shaded candelabra, were the Seniors, all in the dignity of cap and gown. The music was conducive to lively conversation and gaiety; the good fellowship made each one feel friendly toward the whole world. Here, before each one. was youth with all its brilliant future. What more could be desired? The toasts gave glowing pictures of the future of the class, recalled fond memories of Freshman days, told again of the 06 victories and defeats, and praised and toasted the old col¬ lege. But mingled with all this happy care-free strain was a note of sadness that the college days were soon to be over; that the glad times and the sad times of a four years’ union were soon to be only memories. At once the friendships and the little common things of college life—the chapel rallies, the football games with the crimson and gray—the strolls on the campus, the midnight feeds by candle light, the ghost parties about the fireplace—all these became a thousand times dearer than they were ever before imagined to be. It is when these memories come over us that we think perhaps, in years to come, when the college friends are scattered to the four cor¬ ners of t he earth and are no longer united as a class, care¬ worn faces may brighten and old hearts become light again as there come to mind memories of lost youth, of the Senior Banquet and the good old college days. The closing paagraph of the Senior Banquet story left some sad reflections, but these were soon dispelled by the bril¬ liant picture of the Military Ball, which followed. 1 HHilxtarg Hall It has become a custom for the cadet officers of the State College to do honor to the “Father of our Country” by giving a military hall on the eve of February 22cl. Each year has seen a decided im¬ provement in the development of the military de¬ partment, and, as the cadet corps resolved itself into a regiment, so has the Military Ball become a beau¬ tiful and formal social affair. For the third annual military ball the armory was decorated with evergreens, draped llags and bunt¬ ing; around the balcony and on the walls hung crossed sabers and guns, while stacked guns and pitched tents filled the corners and recesses, adding to the distinct military aspect. In accordance with these decorations were the sidearms and bright uni¬ forms o f the ca dets, and while they danced away the hours to the music of a full on sabers lent added music to the military ear, and gave j j remembrance of the lines, “Bright the lights shone J- j o ' er fair women and brave men. a ’‘ 0 “ ' In the receiving line were Major Fulton and Mes- dames Bryan, Waller, Kimmel, Barry and Egge as patronesses. The grand march was led by the bugle corps, fol¬ lowed by Captain Kimmel, Professor Waller, the patronesses, the visiting officers and our own cadet officers, cadets and visitors. - -- Coming down from the formal brilliancy of the Military Ball, the narrator relieved the story by interspersing a light, racy description of the annual frolic of the Freshmen and Sophomores when they entertain the entire college at “The Glee.” 13. Jfofiljmatt attft £ npJ)mnnrp (SIpp When evening came 1 was good and tired, but the air was full of rumors about what the Sophs and Freshies were going to do at the Glee. Some said there was to be nothing but dancing, and some said there was to be a kind of circus pa¬ rade; anyway, I had my curiosity aroused and wanted to see the performance, whatever it might be. so 1 put on my best and went. No sooner had I entered than all kinds of heathenish look¬ ing people began to come in. One old farmer frightened me nearly to death by taking the seat nearest me. A Jap. came next and sat on the other side. Then a dude came in who reminded me of a picture in “Puck.” By this time I was ready to see anything, and here it came: an old Irish washerwoman came bustling through the door, followed by the walking map of Ireland in man’s attire. Chinamen, Indians, Turks and Negroes came next, but I couldn’t help looking at the Irish biddy as she fidgeted about. Just then about two hundred Freshmen went out in front and sang the longest song I ever heard. It sounded like sing¬ ing. but as soon as the echoes died away, the Sophies rushed up and wailed as though they had been hurt. They couldn’t sing, but they all wailed together. ' The Junior spasm, short and violent, came next, and from the noise one of them made I thought all the rest of them must be standing on his foot. The Seniors then walked out calm and peaceful, and when they first started I thought they were going to sing a real song, but some sang one tune and some another with wonder¬ ful effect. I thought the Freshmen had made the most noise, but somebody got up and said the Sophomores had won. Then I saw the crowd all going upstairs. I followed, and all at once I thought a cyclone had struck the building. The circus was on in full blast. One man pulled me this way to see his side-show, while another yelled in my ear to go that way. so I just went every way they told me and didn’t get anywhere. There were snake-charmers in one tent and dried-up mummies in another. In one corner there was a Japanese den, and in another place there was a Turkish dive. One crier downstairs was yelling at the top of his voice, trying to get all the people to come at once and see his shadowgraph show. I made my way through the excitement to see the reproduction of the latest prize-fight, and while I was standing there taking in the sights, all at once the noise all ceased, even the newsboys stop¬ ped yelling “Extra,” and inside of one minute the whole pan¬ demonium changed into a quiet, dignified ballroom, with t he couples floating round like fairies. I he show was over and the dance was on, so I steadied clown, got a partner, and danced a few dances before I went in for refreshments. I am resolved never to miss a Freshman-Sophomore Glee as long as I remain in college. -tSj- It is not surprising that Cupid should have been busy at all these social gatherings and that as a result of his work weddings ensued. As a fitting climax to the society story the spirit left a record of Washington State College weddings. i Washington State College weddings! How I did enjoy them, even those that I could not attend; for some of our former students were married far, far from here, but of these we had news from the little birds, so I enjoyed them all. The most charming thing about the weddings is that they never become monotonous from lack of variety. There were quiet home weddings, such as fitly consummate a long and blissful courtship; there were romantic weddings, the result of the first pure, soulful, guileless love of youth; there were weddings which, let us believe, were the fulfillment of an all¬ wise Creator’s plan of making one and one one; there were church weddings, beautiful with impressive solemnity. Cupid may be blind, surely then intuition supplies this deficiency; for in no case has he failed to send his arrows straight to the heart of maid or man, and then, blind though he may be, lead the blind victim straight to the antidote of love—more love. Not from one class or calling did he draw his followers, nor did he recognize in distance a barrier to successful healing. I saw a man, sun crowned, rush on the wings of love across many weary miles to claim a maiden with hair and eyes of raven hue. Then from Yakima’s burning sands came one of stalwart frame to pluck the fair flower of the Palouse. Down from the mountains of Idaho journeyed another Cupid’s vic¬ tim to claim his bride. Where the turbid Snake wends ever seaward, maidens languished through the long summer till autumn came—and Cupid followed by men—and all were happy. All through the winter, wedding has followed wedding, until verily I believe that our college people have taken too much counsel from that portion of Scripture which says. “It is not good for man to live alone.” R.

Chapman d ' he year igo6 marks one of the most successful periods in the history of the Washington Literary Society. Eleven years ago this organization come into existence, and like the newly established college of which it was a part, had then the strength of youth, lacking, possibly, the elements of matured strength necessary for the work of the highest class. In these eleven years the Washington Agricultural College has become more famous as the Washington State College; and. contemporary with its growth, the Washington Literary Society has developed into a strong, permanent, literary and debating club, justly proud of the work it has done in the upbuilding of the educational institution that has fostered it. All prizes for oratory and debate given by the College during the year 1 05. were won hv Washingtonians. All members of the Freshman-Sophomore debate, ’06 were Wash¬ ingtonians. And among the notable events of the College year was the rendition of a thoroughly successful mock- trial by the Washington Society, and masquerade theater party, in which the Washingtonians appeared in clothes made similar to those worn by George Washington. The society feels that its work for the year has been eminently successful and that, with the strength acquired from the present year ' s achievements supplementing the strength which in the coining year, igoy, will he derived from new students, increasing college facilities, and the increased ability of the old members, the Washington should be able to accomplish that which will redound still further to the prestige of the W. S. C. 167 (HItp UpltHtprian nrtply The “Webs view with satisfaction the results of another year’s work. In addition to maintain¬ ing its honor in all oratory and debate events, the society has placed upon the stage one of the most successful plays ever produced in this com¬ munity.

At the opening of the college year it is one of the first to he at work. Conscientious effort in practice under the baton of Professor W. B. Strong brings it to a high state of efficiency before the close of the college year, and it is with regret that the organization is disbanded for the summer vacation. The repertoire of the band includes selections such as “The Finale from Ariele” by Bach. “Nebuchadnezzar ’ Over¬ ture by Verdi, “Tannhauser,” and “Parsifal.” by Wagner and the celebrated “Organ Offertory,” by Batiste. Many favorable criticisms have been expressed by men of prominence and of musical ability concerning our band. Its success in the past is mainly due to the untiring efforts of its capable and talented instructor. The personnel of the band is as follows: ALTO. E. E. Ward C. R. Sweegle H. Montgomery A. M.

A. W. Dawson was elected president. But. Professor on having him speak was bent. So when Dawson got up to talk a spell. He started out something like this. Wc— 11 ’ ‘Now fellow students,’ he said, ‘you see Once in a while a fellow goes out to a party. And also you’ll admit, to talk to a girl is fine. But how much better it is if no other fellow understands a line After saying this he sat himself down. Bathed in sweat from his feet to his crown. All through that winter with its frolic and fun. (For we held that well started was half the victory won) There were Halm, and Scroggin and ‘Heinrich’ too; Oh, the members of that class were not so few. And also Damman with his ever present frown, For Ilerr de Walsh, in society, never called us down.” Thus will they speak after years have rolled by, But now open your ears and also one eye. For I am sure you shall hear A good deal from us next year. i-O ®h? iFarmpra’ (Elitb The Farmer’s Club is a real, living, active organ¬ ization, not simply a creation for the columns of The Evergreen and Chinook. It has real live members that move and talk and eat. As the farm is the real foundation upon which all else in our social system depends, so is The Farmer ' s Club the weather vane, as it were, toward which the rest of the college community looks to see which way the wind is blowing and get their hearings. The purposes of the club are many. Resides be¬ ing an educational and social organization, it serves as a sort of general rallying point for all the students of the Agricultural Department. Mere they come together upon a common basis, each working in the interests of the department. Like the real farmer, there is one phase of life which the club never neglects. The farmers, like the Romans of old. have become famous for their feats of gastronomical skill. Their feeds have be¬ come so celebrated that the fortunate few young la¬ dies who receive invitations are looked upon as “the favored of the gods.” The club is ever working for general improvement in the college. At present it has a petition before the committee on courses to combine the Depart¬ ments of Agriculture and Domestic Science. Differ¬ ent members, working individually, have done con¬ siderable work toward this end, and with some ap¬ parently good prospects of success. This is only one of the many lines of reform which are being taken up by the club, but it illustrates the spirit of the or¬ ganization. We hope to report later the results of its work, particularly along the line mentioned above. 3FarnmV (Club Baked Leg umes Cucumis MENU. PROGRAM.

The object of the club is the investigation of those lines of Botanical work in which its members are most interested. Fortnightly meetings are held on Monday, from five to six p. m. When mysterious looking parcels are hustled into Science Hall and stowed into lockers, while a guard keeps watch over the laboratory, the initiated may know that one of those yearly pie feeds is on hand. At a late hour the “dorm-fed” boys, having approved the decision of the judges as to the best pic, having sampled the five pound box of bon bons won by Miss Myrtle Boyles, and having measured their individual capacity for pie, the boys regretfully dispersed to live in expectation of the next pie feed. 1 8 ahp lEurrgrmt The Evergreen is the mouthpiece through which student sentiment at the Slate College is voiced.

A. as an organization, stands for a three-fold development in spirit, mind and body. It does not believe that a man should go to the extreme in religious affairs any more than in mental or physical ones. But it does believe that the student makes a mistake who wholly neglects in his college life the r eligious side. It is just because the religious side is so likely to be neglected in an institution of learning while the other two are over-emphasized, that the college Y. M. C. A. puts the greater emphasis upon the spiritual development. Spiritual development, the association believes, is well worth the attention of the college student. What the college man needs is a thorough grounding in morality and ethics of a right sort to prevent his going wrong directions and holding wrong ideals. The training is provided by the Y. M. C. A. in two lines of work; first in a weekly devotional meeting where practical topics are discussed in a common sense way, second by Bible study classes in which the student gets an intimate knowledge of the Book of Books in every phase. But other lines of work are not neglected. The most important of these is that which aims to supply the social wants of students. At the beginning of the year a reception is held, in conjunction with the Y. W. C. A., at which an effort is made to bring the new students in touch with the .01. A. old students and with each other. Later in the year come the “stag” parties. At these strictly informal affairs things are enlivened by playing good old Gearhart games, by stories and by songs, with a little feed as a supplement to the regular “dorm hash.” The thoughts of those good old times make many sit uneasily in their chairs even yet. Another line in which the association works is in giving aid and information to students. Each new student is made to feel at home after his arrival at Pullman. Then the Informa¬ tion Bureau carefully instructs him in the mysterious processes which are necessary to enlistment in “Proxy ' s Army.” After Porter ct al. has got hold of all his cash, the Employment Bureau makes connections between him and a “job” if the “old man” refuses to deliver any more of the necessary funds. Thus the Y. M. C. A. tries to have a hand in the turning of the “rookies” into full Hedged W. S. C. students. All along the line, a great growth has been made during the past year. The membership has been nearly doubled, the Bible Study department was never stronger, the treasury shows a balance on hand. Believing that the inspiration of the Gearhart conference delegates is largely the cause of this, the association hopes to send a large delegation this year which will insure a further success next year. With new and enlarged plans, the Y. M. C. A. hopes in the future to deserve greater success and to be of greater service to the whole student body. 188 Slhp ©ratortral Aaunrialtmt All debating and oratorical contests at the State College and all forensic contests with other colleges arc conducted by the Oratorical Association. Its membership comprises the entire collegiate body. The scope and quality of its work is only limited by the ability of its members. Hence the Oratorical Association ranks among the most helpful organiza¬ tions in the college. This year has witnessed an ever in¬ creasing interest in debating and oratory which presages even greater success for the Crimson and Gray in the future than in the past. The record of intercollegiate debates for this year is as follows: W. S. C. vs. Whitman, at Walla Walla—won by Whitman. W. S. C. vs. U. of Montana, at Pullman—won by W. S. C. W. S.

On the highest point in the city park of Portland, Ore., stands a granite pedestal hearing the simple inscription. “Coming of the White Man.” Surmounting that pedestal is a bronze group. The figures arc those of two Indians, a young brave and Chief Mullonomah. the ' 1 ecumseh of the West. The pose of ihe old chief expresses that calm, stoical, repulsive greeting of the Indian warrior: the silent protest of the savage against the encroachment of civilization. The attitude of the young brave expresses curiosity, expectancy, welcome. He leans forward, the robe is blown from his lawny shoulder and his sinewy right arm is extended above his head. In his hand he bears a leafy bough, waving it in token of welcome to the white men, the welcome of the west to civilization. Such a group of living Indians greeted Lewis and Clark as their rude canoes shot through the Columbia river gap one hundred years ago. The sculptor, catching the idea, stamped it upon that mass of bronze and transformed it under his magic touch into the embodiment of the eternal welcome of the west, in greeting to visitors at the Lewis and Clark Centennial. In seventeen hundred ninety-two. Captain Cray discovered the Columbia river. The news that a large river flowed from too the interior of North America into the Pacific Ocean crept over the world. It roused bright visions in the minds of the fur traders. New dreams of an empire extending throughout the territory watered by this mighty stream for a brief time interested decadent Spain. England, ever watching for advan¬ tage in America, burned with a desire to possess this new land. Russia, already established in the North, contemplated a descent upon this new territory and ultimately its possession. But there was an American statesman who saw the importance of this discovery and it was due to his untiring efforts that the west did not fall into the hands of some European power. Thomas Jefferson, with his penetrating intellect “Dipping into the future far as human eye could see. saw the vision of the world and all the wonder that should be.” Turning from the political situation of the Old World which had hitherto been so absorbing, he gazed westward beyond the Mississippi, across those uni racked plains to where the “Shining wall of the Rockies” bounded the horizon. To most Americans of that time the Mississippi river was the natural western boundary of the United States; to others the Rocky Mountains; Washington would have stopped at the Appalachians, but to Jefferson’s untrammeled vision there was no western limit. To him the discovery of the Columbia River came as an inspiration. Eagerly he gleaned every scrap of information concerning that wonderful river. He sought out men who had sailed with Gray. Day and night he thought and planned that an expedition might be sent to traverse that unknown territory. In his dreams he stood upon the summit of those “Shining mountains” and from that sublime height gazed in wonder and amazement upon the panorama below. Looking eastward his eyes swept those swelling prairies to the Mississippi, discerned in the distance the black line of the Appalachians and rested on the thirteen states along the Atlantic. Turning his gaze to the west, what a vision met his eyes. The mighty Oregon rolled in majesty past primeval forests, through deep gorges and over precipices until at last its pale waters mingled with the ocean’s blue. Upon the peaceful waters of that ocean floated ships of all nations, white sails of commerce dotting the blue expanse. Farther on he saw the hazy shoreline of the Orient; that vision might have soothed the dying hours of Columbus. “It was India; it was the East.” There burst upon him anew the conviction that the United States must extend to the Pacific, not for mere power, not for wealth, or glory, hut from necessity, for civilization and progress. He saw the mission of Republicanism to be the spread of enlightenment and freedom over this vast new empire. Animated by such lofty sentiments and stimulated by a noble purpose he undertook the winning of the west. Twice he failed. But in eighteen hundred three he saw fairly started the Lewis and Clark Expedition which determined the pos¬ session of the Oregon country and planted the stars and stripes upon the shore of the Pacific. That expedition was an humble beginning of the grandest step in our westward expansion. Forty-five men clad in the rough dress of the pioneer, hearing in their sturdy hands the ax or the musket and in their hearts the seeds of civiliza¬ tion went forth to conquer an empire. It was not to the music of soul stirring fife and drum, nor amidst the waving of gay banners, nor with the plaudits of a proud nation ringing in their ears that they set forth. But quietly, gravely, calmly, conscious of the work before them these gallant men marched out of the gates of civilization to be swallowed up by the unknown west. From the day they embarked upon that expedition until they returned to St. Louis theirs was a life of toil and struggle and deadly danger It was up the treacherous Missouri to its source among the frozen Rockies, across those snow capped peaks, and down the turbulent rivers of the west to the ’“Sundown Sea.” Their path was beset by every obstacle that untamed nature could offer. But the strength of the American pioneer was in their sinews, the spirit of the American pioneer was in their breasts, the strength and spirit that knew no failure. They accomplished their mission, returned to their homes and their wonted occupations as quietly and unostentatiously as they set forth. But the story of the wonders they had seen changed the future of this nation and started westward the tide of emi¬ gration which swept across river and plain, over mountain and valley, till it dashed against the ocean barrier itself. Compare the unpretentious character of the expedition with the magni¬ tude of its results and those men in homespun become heroes. The names upon the roll of that expedition are emblazoned on the scroll of fame in more undying colors than the names of all the soldiers, statesmen and explorers that have gone before. For that humble expedition brought in its train the events which have moulded the history of the western world and ex¬ tended the elevating influence of our civilization over land and sea. Today, while the awful boom of camion is in our cars and the smoke of battle is wafted to us across the Pacific, the heart of this nation throbs in sympathy with the brown men of the Orient. Not only is this stimulating sympathy felt in America, but England, too, is agitated. Every lover of liberty, from America to Australia, from England to Africa is deeply interested in the struggle in the “Far East.” Search the hearts of the Anglo-Saxons and read the reason for this sympathy, this interest, this agitation. It is because that civilization which budded in England, took root and blossomed into the perfect fruit of liberty and equality in America, is pitted against the tyranny and oppression of the dark ages. The old struggle is being renewed. Freedom and progress having fought their way step by step almost around the globe arc to-day fighting for existence in Asia, the primitive home of man. Fifty years ago Japan was touched by Anglo-Saxon civ- lization and aroused from the spell of idolatry and exclusion under which she had languished for centuries. That touch begot a renaissance which has developed into a stirring na- tional life. And to-day the Japanese are the champions of western ideals in the “Far East.’’ The removal of this great struggle between our civilization and that of the Slav from America to Asia may be called the first great triumph of the Lewis and Clark expedition. When they started from St. Louis in eighteen hundred three, the Pacific coast was easily within the grasp of the Russian Bear. Two years later his grasp was shaken and the terrible crushing tyranny of Russia forever banished from our shore. Had it not been for that humble expedition, this hideous monster of oppression in¬ stead of battering down the outposts of western progress four thousand miles away, might have topped the Rocky Mountains and thence rolled down his crushing force against a nation stunted in natural growth. The civilization of the Slav in its almost irresistible eastward march might have swept the Anglo-Saxon civilization from this continent. Had it not been for that humble expedition. Perry would not have sailed into the harbor of Japan and stimulated in her that amazing civil and political progress. Her awakening would have come through Russia. China, too, might have been awakened by the same power, and wielding that subtle in¬ fluence which the Slav holds over the Oriental, Russia might have converted the sleeping ancestor worshippers of the Orient into champions of the civilization of the dark ages. The Filipino would he still writhing under the heel of Spanish oppression. This nation, though still extant, would he forever shut off from its natural outlet upon the Pacific and destined to occupy the position of a second rale power. Viewed in the light of its accomplishments, the Lewis and Clark Expedition well deserves the ovation by which the nation commemorates the anniversary of its completion. Viewed in this light it stands in the history of the world as one of the most bloodless victories, one of the most humane conquests, one of the most potent factors in the spread of civilization. The Exposition at Portland marks the close of a century crowded with events; a century whose very breath was fra¬ grant with the perfume of progress; a century in which the tiny seed of civilization carried by Lewis and Clark across four thousand miles of wilderness has converted that wilder¬ ness into the homes of millions of American citizens; a century in which that civilization after crossing the continent of America has sent its influence over the broad Pacific, touched the Orient with its commuting energy and roused there a national spirit that awes the world; a century in which the oppressor of three hundred years has been evicted from the Philippines, and seven million people lifted out of the slough of anarchy and endless revolution and placed on the upward road to peace, enlightenment and position among the peoples of the world. The Exposition marks the close of a century in which fabulous material wealth has been added to the United States. Nature endowed the west in prodigal profusion. The explorers secured possession and the nation has reaped the harvest. Like mile-stones along the pathway of Lewis and Clark have sprung up the institutions of civilized life, the village, the town, the city. Everywhere is teeming life. Homesteads and farms nestle among the hills and spread over the prairies. The mountain bosom yields up its treasures. Great rivers no longer run waste to the sea, but turn the spindles of industry. Where once the warm waters of the Pacific chafed in idleness against our western shore, and great harbors lay fallow of commerce, from Puget Sound to California, now ride at anchor the merchantmen of all nations. The dream of Jefferson is realized. The Anglo-Saxon civilization faces west upon the Pacific. Its influence has awakened the Orient. The United States stands free and unfettered, peerless among the nations. Although the century j ust closed has witnessed stirring changes as the Anglo-Saxon influence spread westward, the century now in its infancy will witness far greater changes produced by the same power. The momentum acquired, the activities stimulated, the ability of Americans for developing new fields engendered by our rapid progress in the past cen¬ tury must not he checked. The field of territorial expansion is exploited, but there still remains the opportunity for the spread of our commerce, our influence, our enlightenment over the vast areas that border the Pacific. There still remains the duty of fulfilling in its highest and noblest sense our mis¬ sion in the west. Make the Pacific coast the commercial center of the world, awaken the sleeping millions in China and teach the son of the tropics the lesson of self-government. To the consideration of these vital problems of the future as well as to the commemoration of past events the Lewis and Clark exposition stimulates the best thoughts and the noblest ambitions of Americans. The sculptor has moulded in bronze the welcome of the west. It remains for some other artist to design and execute a statue embodying the freedom of the west. Let him hew it from our native granite, dedicate it to the memory of the men who carried civilization across the Rockies, and con¬ secrate it to the noble purpose of extending that civilization. Place this statue where its glorious face shall catch the last lingering rays of the sinking sun, and flash their reflection, as the light of our civilization, to all who dwell around the Pacific. Silhouetted against the western sky it will forever signify to America the unlimited opportunities, the boundless freedom of the west. Napnlam a ilarri) to iHoorout By N. Jesse Akin. Winner Lombard Oratorical Contest. The hills and valleys of Korovana were gray with men and horses. The white tents of 600,000 men gleamed in the morning sunlight. Officers and orderlies were dashing to and fro among the masses of men. At last the great army of Europe was in motion. The Emperor spurred across the bridge upon his white Arabian as though it delighted him to be upon Russian soil. For three long days the army filed across the bridge and disappeared in the Russian desert. What means this aggregation of soldiery? For what principle of justice, liberty, or the rights of man is Napoleon leading this European host to war? The public sentiment following the commercial depression of Russia had compelled the Czar to withdraw his support from the Continental System. As long as this one link was broken in Napoleon’s great system the whole chain was with¬ out strength. The commercial war against England would fail unless that link was welded firmly. Thus, Napoleon assembled his soldiers on that calm clear morning, saying, as his proud eye surveyed the grandeur of his army: ‘‘Russia is drawn on by fate; her destiny must be fulfilled.” The Emperor was determined to defeat the Russian army before the two divisions could unite. But the decisive ability that had once marked the famous general failed him, and he began to show signs of irresolution. The sly Russian general was allowed to slip from his grasp and the chance for battle was lost. At Vitbesk he threw his sword upon the table. “The campaign of 1812 is at an end—we will go into winter quarters here.” But Moscow lured him on as if by fate. Thoughts of weary months of inaction made him irresolute and eagerly he pressed on toward Smolensk. Again the shrewd Cossack slipped away. Napoleon’s staff again suggested win¬ ter quarters, but the clear, cool thinking mind was clouded by his eager desire to see the French flags waving over the ancient city. And the army tramped on to its fate. At Borodino the Russians placed 120.000 men in the path of the invading army. The morning of September 7 dawned bright and clear. Napoleon ' s dense columns moved slowly in perfect order towards the woods and fortifications. Time after time during the long, hot day those strongholds were taken and retaken. Hour after hour 800 cannon thundered death among the determined Russians. At last a long line of cavalry sprung from out the French ranks, dashed up the slopes, and the Cossacks melted away before the onslaught. The last cannon fired at the retreating Russians thundered the death salute to 70,000 human beings strewn over the bloodiest battlefield of the century. The path to Moscow now remained unbroken. On Sep¬ tember 14, under a grand display of French eagles, the Emperor marched into the ancient Capital of the Czars But as the army tramped, tramped, through the streets he was stunned by the unbroken solitude. The great city was de¬ serted. The supply stores were empty or burned. The peace and plenty was only a mirage that vanished with his approach. Thrilled by the moment of victory the soldiers begin to plunder. For two days the pride of the Russian Czars be¬ comes a scene of riot and wild anarchy. On the night of the 17th the city burst into flames. As Napoleon describes it him¬ self, “It was a spectacle of a sea and billows of fire, a sky and clouds of fire, mountains of red rolling fire like immense ocean waves alternately bursting forth and lifting themselves to skies of fire and then sinking into an ocean of fire below. Oh, it was the grandest, sublimest, most terrible sight that the world ever saw.” It had been a proud moment for Napoleon as he entered the city with his staff, gazing upon the towering steeples and golden domes, but as it sank into a smouldering mass of ashes the truth slowly dawns upon him. His sword thrust at the heart of Russia had been a wild saber stroke. He found the Russian Empire had no heart. The different localities were so loosely united to the central government that the destruction of any one commercial district did not vitally affect the others. All Napoleon ' s pre¬ paration, his march through the desert, his sacrifice of 60,000 men at Smolensk and Borodiuo had only left a path of de¬ vastation over which he must return and reap the miseries of his own destruction. Late in the fall the army began the homeward retreat. As they passed over the old line of march they found the roadsides strewn with broken wagons, skeletons of horses, and fragments of army equipage. At Borodino they marched over 70,000 corpses yet unburied. Late in November the first blast of Russian winter pierced the thin clothing of the French army. As the cold increased tlie chilling rains became snowstorms and the muddy roads frozen paths of torture to the bare feet of the soldiers. The commissary was empty. As the army approached Smolensk they saw the Russian cavalry retreating in the distance and their stores a smouldering heap of ashes. The hungry soldiers fought over the carcasses of fallen horses for their supper. At night they spread their blankets around the miserable camp fires, but when morning dawned many a circle of sleep¬ ing forms remained unbroken. When they reached the Bcr- sina they found the bridges burned, the stream swollen to its banks and half filled with floating ice. Waist deep in the icy water the soldiers threw two light bridges across the stream. One division had crossed when the Russians reached the scene and swept the bridges with artillery fire. Soon the frail structure was piled high with the struggling mass. Above the roar of battle rose a cry of horror as the bridge gave way and all that were upon it sank. The wounded were helpless, the strong swimmer perished and the night passed amid the death scenes of T2,ooo men. Late in December 20,000 of the grandest military array that Europe ever saw staggered across the bridge at Korovona, over which Na¬ poleon had led them so proudly a few short months before. What is the meaning of this unspeakable catastrophe in the career of Napoleon? What is the significance of this shattered remnant of that great army fleeing before the pursuing Cossacks ? All the powers of Europe were crying out against the tyranny and commercial oppression of Napoleon’s Continental System. The failure of this campaign was more than a defeat of 600,000 men. It was the failure of his great commercial war against England. It proved that the great general and consul had overestimated his power, and it marked a fall from which the Emperor would never rise. By war after war, by repeated sacrifice, by continual oppression and blood¬ shed he had turned that spirit of loyally and admiration for the hero of Marengo and Austerlitz into the most intense haired for the tyrant of the Continental System. The great¬ ness of his failure can only be measured by considering what he might have done and how far he came short of possible achievement. The French revolution was the natural product of years of oppression. At the close of that struggle the pur¬ pose for which it was fought had been achieved. The feudal laws and customs were swept away. Even the king had been dethroned. The nobility and clergy were institutions of the past: The people of France were the government of France. Having accomplished these results the people longed for peace. The public had become weary of the continual change in assemblies, constitutions and dictators. The time was ripe for some strong executive power to come in and crystalize the fruits of the revolution. And it mattered little to the people whether that executive was a committee or a power centered in a single man. No eye saw the condition of affairs with clearer vision than Napoleon’s. The eyes of the people were turned upon the hero, whose work in Italy proved him a master organizer as well as a general. Consequently, we see him come into prominence step by step, until lie is consul for ten years and then for life. With his penetrating mind bent upon his future every department of the government yields to the power of his touch. The sway of his scepter affected alike the wealthy noble and the humble peasant. Consider his great reform of the law of France. From a mass of customs and rules, some coming down from feudal times, others but the outburst of the momentary enthusiasm of some assemb ly, he sifted his great code of law. The basis of that code was the right of man in political, criminal and civil affairs. In his eyes all citizens were equal. State burdens should rest upon all alike. Personal liberty and civil rights should be inviolable. Conscience should be free, opportunities equal to all, and legal proceedings should be public, swift and just. Napoleon was always present at the session of the committee appointed to revise the law. It was his clear sight and cool judgment that sifted from that mass of rules, customs and edicts that which was best. It was his statesmanship and skill that arranged with simplicity, symmetry, and strength, that which had been a tangled mass of legal chaos. In Napoleon’s military career we sec the great general. In his administrative reforms we see the strongest type of statesmanship. In all phases of his life we sec a man of such remarkable capacity that had the right motives and principles inspired his life he could have made France the greatest nation and himself the greatest ruler of the world. Why did Napoleon fail? Napoleon failed in accomplishing what he could for France because he sacrificed political good and military strength to satisfy his own personal ambition. True, he gathered the scattered principles of the revolution into a compact form. But he did not bring about those reforms because there was in his heart one drop of sympathy for the French peasant. We do not believe that in his mili¬ tary career one battle was fought because he wished to see France a free republic. One motive, and one only, spurred him on, and his ambition was fed but not satisfied. Thus we see him advancing step by step—general, consul; at last, on the 28th of May, 1804, the cro wn of Emperor is placed upon his head. This once attained a vision of the future passed before his mental eye. And in that vision of the crowned Emperor ho saw all Europe at his feet. The cool, calculating mind was blinded by his own grandeur and all the capacity, and all the energy of the man was directed toward the one end—Napoleon’s aggrandizement. England was the one rival yet unconquered. His insatiate greed could not be satisfied until she, too, had felt the power of his sword. With this end in view he closed the ports of Europe to England’s com¬ merce. To enforce this great system he drained France of the very flower of her youth. He drained her of her resources to support his army. French blood was poured upon the fields of Austria and Prussia. Spain was strewn with French soldiers. By enforcing this system he brought a commercial depression upon Europe that transformed the hero of the French Republic into the tyrannical monarch of the Con¬ tinental System. Still unconscious of his growing weakness, we follow him to the ancient Capital of the Czars. There the horrible tale of his selfish desire was again repeated and revealed to the world as the floods of the Bcrsina abating in the spring left 12.000 human bodies strewn along her shores. We see the ravenous character of his unrestrained ambition when 20,000 diseased, half-starved soldiers stagger across the bridge at Korovona. The remnant of that last host was slowly starving in the filth of Russian prisons, or ‘‘lying at rest on Russian soil beneath nature ' s winding sheet of snow.” “How like a mounting devil in the heart rules the un¬ reigned ambition. Let it once but play the monarch and its haughty brow glows with the beauty that bewilders thought and unthrones peace forever. Putting on the very pomp of Lucifer it turns the heart to ashes. And with not a spring left in the bosom for the spirit ' s lip we gaze upon his splendor and forget the thirst of which he perished.” 200 AtblUirs Historical. I ' lie history of athletics of the W ashington State College dates back to April 18, 1894. As athletic competitors among the colleges of the Northwest we have seen over a decade of experience. During these few years there has been a period of great develop¬ ment in the athletics of this college, one of Wash¬ ington’s foremost educational institutions. We now possess an athletic field that amply accommodates all branches of our outdoor athletics, a gymnasium that is regarded as one of the best in the Northwest, and a coach that directs and oversees the training and development of the men in each and every branch of athletics. As this volume is limited, we cannot amply dis¬ cuss our athletic progress from our early history to the present time, for the same would more than fill it, but must confine our few remarks to a resume of the athletic history of the past year. The most prominent feature of the athletics of the last year is that we are engaging more and more in athletics with our sister institutions of Montana and Oregon. In football, although we did not secure the coveted honor, the Northwest championship, our team did their best and to them belongs the praise as of victory. O11 track we were much more suc¬ cessful, securing the championship of the Inland Umpire by defeating University of Idaho and Whit¬ man College. In both Baseball and Basketball we proved to be champions over Whitman and Idaho. As a whole during the past year we have been very successful in our athletic endeavors, and the praise rightly and justly belongs to the members of the athletic teams representing the crimson and gray. 202 Football £.

Painted it so all could read it. Prexy was a-blaze with terror When he saw the wigwam painted In the bold hand of the pale face. So he called his tribe together. And in tones of thundering accents. Cursed the white men of the village; Called them rookies, called them children. 236 Called them little, tiny, wee things. How he squelched them was a terror To his foe, the mighty white man.

This Prof, had for a pet one only little black and white kitten which he loved with all his heart. When the Prof, returned from his daily tasks the kitten would meet him at the door, and pull his trou¬ ser legs and chew his shoe strings in a very affec¬ tionate manner. But one day the kitten took ill, and the Prof, took it to Doctor Nelson ' s hospital for treatment. For many days the kitten lingered l etween life and death. Every morning the Prof, would ask the doc¬ tor concerning the kitten and every morning the doctor would shake his head in a professional man¬ ner. But one morning the doctor did not shake his head, for the kitten was dead and he knew it. The Prof, was very sad for many days, and his 239 students sympathized with him. and were kind to him, until finally he began to love them with as great an affection as he had felt for the kitten. Moral: Even life has a mission. -- (0itr l rrn Twas Monday night. Our hero had to sleep ' s repose retired. To dream of Chestnuts sweet and fair, the kind he so admired ; And in his dream a spectre rose, an one of awful woe.

Oh, horrors! Think of what it told! It took away his breath! His darling little sweet Chestnut was scolded most to death! With shaking hands he donned his clothes: he had no time to spare.

A IFatru § tnry for Ihunuj 3Fnlks Once upon a time, as all good fairy stories must begin, a great city rose out of the forests and stood commanding the calm waters of Puget Sound. In later years this fair metropolis became anxious to learn the ways of the rest of the world ; she had grown tired of living apart in her own little world. So she sent out some beautiful fairies to search for this coveted world lore. These fairies, wafted by the winds of destiny, were drawn into the lands of Enoch, where stood perched on a mighty hill a mag¬ nificent institution, then the educational center of the entire universe. These good fairies took up their abode in one of the beautiful castle halls where other like fairies were wont to dwell. Ft was here these fairies learned that far away nestled among the mountains was a restless little village, striving to stretch beyond its ' ‘Golden dale till it reached the metropolis of the West. ft also happened at this time that the good towns¬ people of the village had sent out into the world its news gatherer in the form of a sprite. It, too, being a child of fate, was carried by the dame Goddess oi Fortune to this great institution of learning. Now, one of the good fairies, knowing this sprite was from the Golden village of the dale, sought oui this sprite and by her cunning gained its favor Quite happy of her conquest, she flew to her fairy mates and wildly exclaimed: “Now just watch Ta- 258 coma grow ' This little fairy, mindful of her own fair city, had by her conquest contrived a plan by which the golden city of the dale could be made a suburb of the metropolis. So, as planned, the sprite was given eat and drink at the bounteous board of the fairies. All went well for some time, and this mindful little fairy had dreams of the happy union of the two peoples. But one day when the sprite and fairy were out in the warm air together they heard a great rumbling directly over their heads. Looking up, they saw it was the God of Thunder threatening the destruction of the fair city, if the sprite and fairy would not part and each go their way. That evening the little fairy was quite sad, ancl a long streamer of crepe marked the vacant place of the sprite at the welcome board of the fairies. Save for this one incident, nothing has since been heard of the great metropolis of the West, and the fairies became commonplace among real people from other lands. The sprite turned into a gorgeous butterfly and lived to a ripe age, very happily. V TU N E—“ Oysters Clams. Plug hats. Oh, rats! Perfectly hollow, every one. Nothing in them—well, by glim!

Then be charitable, and we feel that in the years to come the 1907 Chinook, with its chronicle of the year’s events in song and story, car¬ toon and roast, will bring the smile to your lip or the tear to your eye as it calls to memory in panoramic picture the things that have made us glad and the things that have made us sad during the college year 1905-1906. To those who have been roasted—smile if you can. if you can’t, then take consolation from the fact that at least there is something distinctive about you that has singled you out as the target for the shaft of wit, and remember that, as the Lord loveth whom he chas- tiseth, so tlie “serious man” feareth whom lie roasteth. To those who have contributed literary matter, car¬ toons and drawings, mere words cannot express our gratitude. Want of space forbids us to print their names, for they number almost one hundred. The growth and development and the satisfaction which comes to every one from having aided in a work of this kind is a greater reward than any we could bestow. To those who have aided us in a financial way by advertising in our book, thereby reducing our burden, we give our best thanks. Further, we beg of our readers that they will remember our advertisers. 274 (Enntwt b Classes— Veterinary Science _6 Senior - n Junior - 23 Sophomore _29 Freshman _32 Departments— Chemistry - 37 Mechanical Engineering-41 Modern Languages -43 Geology - 44 Botany and Zoology-46 Mining Engineering - 47 Economics and History-50 English Language and Literature-52 Civil Engineering - 53 Latin _56 Agriculture and Horticulture - 57 Domestic Economy-61 Pharmacy -63 Art _70 Military _ 71 Chair of Education _74 The Alumni _75 New Professors _79 Schools— Elementary School _82 School of Mines_87 Commercial _91 School for Artisans-94 Literary _97 Society_ __ __129 Weddings _._137 Calendar -139 Societies, Clubs and Organization_165 Athletics _201 Deviltries -225 ’06 Class Roll _255 276 Slttiipx to AduertiBpmpnts Allen ' s Printery___291 Artopho Studio _293 Baker Co._285 Blair Business College-294 Burgan-Emerson Co. -283 College Book Store-278 Club Barber Shop-291 Dodson, Geo.

Not everyone, however, realizes the great difference between a reallv good school and the school that ANSWERS THE PURPOSE. If Just as certain as “like attracts like so A SCHOOL OF QUALITY attracts to itself students of the quality that business men can place in positions of responsibility -positions that pay from $ioo to $250 per month. When young women graduates of a Business College are paid $125 per month for their services the school is entitled to some credit for the thorough training it gave them, but the greatest amount of satisfaction to the management comes from the fact that the school attracts that class of students to itself. If The BLAIR BUSINESS COLLEGE is the leading Bus¬ iness College on the coast. It not only has the largest atten¬ dance. but it enrolls a class of students that arc superior. This is one of the reasons that its graduates make such a showing wherever they are employed. f In almost every city of the Inland Empire the best sten¬ ographers and Bookkeepers are “BLAIR graduates. These students form their acquaintances among the best class of young people in their respective communities, and as a result these young people become students in the BLAIR BUSI¬ NESS COLLEGE and in turn send others to occupy their old s cats. This “endless chain condition will continue as long as the settled policy of the management continues. This policy is to employ none but the best instructors in the differ¬ ent departments of the school. r Every change made in the school has proved to be a change for the better. New methods, new books, new loca¬ tion. new teachers—all prove intelligent management. We will move into a new building next fall, corner First and Mad¬ ison. The sixth lime in nine years we have had to enlarge our quarters. The school will continue to keep a little ways ahead of requirements and a good ways ahead of its competitors.
