Dr. Albert E. Egge President, Ensch A. Bryan LEILA WALL HUNT. Leila Wall Hunt took her A. B. Degree from Virginia Institute in 1903. Thereafter she followed the teaching pro¬ fession for two years. In 1903 she came to Washington and entered the State College from which she received her Bachelor of Science Degree in 1908. Following her graduation she was elected to an instructorship in the Department of Domestic Science from which she had graduated. LIONEL GITTELSON. A more thoroughly trained violinist than Lionel Gittelson would be hard to find. Mr. Gittelson is an executant of ex¬ ceptional ability, and as he possesses a polished technic and a finished style, and has at command a large repertory, he is particularly well equipped as a pedagogue. He first studied in New York under Leopold Lichtenberg for eight years. This great teacher, the pupil of Wieniawski, at once recognized Gittelson’s exceptional talent, and watched his development with unusual interest. Under Lichtenberg’s tutelage the young violinist acquired a solid foundation and a thorough knowledge of interpretation. He then went to Europe for a finishing course under Joachim, Wirth and Cesar Thomson, and with these masters studied assiduously for several years. Having studied under the greatest exponents of the German and French schools of violin playing, and absorbed the best in each, Gittelson is an all ’round, a symmetrically developed artist. He possesses that uncommon faculty, invaluable in a teacher, of being able to impart to others that which he himself knows. KARL E. TUNBURG. Mr. Tunburg has been identified with the music world from early boyhood, having had seven years of piano instruction previous to his graduation from High School in 1892. He was a student at the University of Nebraska, 1892 and 1893, and in the Nebraska Conservatory of Music, 1893 to 1893. The next two years were spent in private work under E. M. Jones, (Scharwenka), Omaha. Mr. Tunburg studied in the Stern’s Conservatory, Berlin, 1900-’0I, and was a private pupil of Franz Kullak, Royal Prussian Professor of Music, from Sept¬ ember ' 01 to January 1903, and has a diploma from Kullak. While in Berlin, Mr. Tunburg studied harmony and com¬ position with Director Wilhelm Berger and Director Eduard Behm, and the theory and history of music with Max Loe- wenjard and Dr. Leopold Schmidt. Before coming to Pullman Mr. Tunburg had ten years ex¬ perience as a teacher, eight years of which was private and the last two years with the Lincoln Conservatory of Music and the Northwestern Conservatory. Connected with this was consider¬ able experience in concert work in various states and in the direction of bands and orchestras. FRANK MELVILLE WARNER. Frank Melville Warner was a student at Oberlin College for the year ’02-’03. He entered the University of Wisconsin in 1903 where he took his B. S. Degree in 1907. He held the position of instructor in drawing in discriptive geometry at the University of Wisconsin, ’07-’08. Later in the same year he was with the Freeport Gas Company which position he held until September, ’08, when he was elected instructor in Mech¬ anical Engineering in the State College of Washington. 12 MISS MARGARET JAYNE. Miss Jayne graduated from the Columbia College of Ex¬ pression in 1901. During the years 1901 to 1904 she held the position of teacher of expression and drama and director of physical culture, in the Michigan Seminary, Kalamazoo Mich. This position was followed by recital work in the middle west, 1904 and ’05. Miss Jayne held the position of teacher of expression and drama and physical director in the oung Women’s Christian Association of Grand Rapids, Mich¬ igan. She again did recital work this time on the Pacific Coast, 1907-’08. In July of 08, Miss Jayne was elected an in¬ structor in oral expression and dramatic art in the Slate College which position she now occupies. J. FRED BOHLER. Mr. Bohler is a graduate of the Schuylkill Seminary, having completed his work there in 1907. In the year ‘07-08 he was a student in the Medical school of the University of Nebraska. In 1905, he graduated from the Chataqua summer school in the Department of Physical Training and in 1908 he graduated from the Normal course in the same school. While Mr. Bohler was a student in the Schuylkill Seminary, he was also a director in physical training there. He also held the position of Assistant in all branches of athletics while in attendance at the University of Nebraska. Coupled with his other exper¬ ience is considerable work as physical director in Christian Associations. Mr. Bohler was elected to the position of in¬ structor in physical training in the College which position he now holds. ANDREW P. ANDERSON. Andrew P. Anderson was bom on a farm near Chariton, Iowa, June 22, 1877. He migrated to this state and graduated in the State College with the Class of ’06 with “high honors”. He has held various positions of trust in his own profession. During the field season he was a levelman with the United States Geological Survey from June 1st, 1906 to June 1st, ’07. He held the position of Assistant Irrigation Engineer for the Mon¬ tana Experiment Station, and was also during that time in¬ structor in Civil Engineering in the Montana Argicultural College. He was Civil Engineering student in the office of public roads, June ’07 to June ‘08, and, is at present United States Assistant Engineer, Office of Public Roads. At present he is also instructor in Civil Engineering at the Washington State College. ALLISON GAW, Ph. D. Allison Gaw received his Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1900. He did post gradu¬ ate work at the same University in ’00- ' 01. He held the posi¬ tion as professor of English at Temple College in 1901 to 1906. In 1906 he received his Master of Arts Degree from Pennsyl¬ vania, and in 1907 he received his Doctor of Philosophy Degree from the same institution. In the fall of 1908, Dr. Gaw was elected to the Assistant Professorship of English in our own college which position he continues to hold. OSCAR M. OLSON. Mr. Olson is a graduate of the Minnesota School of Ag¬ riculture. Following his preparatory work he did two years of work in the Minnesota College of Argiculture. Mr. Olson’s business is that of a farmer, but he has had large experience in farmers’ institute work in his native state, and was called to the State College the present year for the purpose of giv¬ ing expert assistance in our own institute work. The farmers of the state are to be congratulated that they may have assist¬ ance of one so experienced in those things which are vital to them. 13 OLIVE McKAY. Miss McKay graduated from the Chippewa Falls, Wis¬ consin, High School in 1902. She then entered the Stout Manual Training Institute at Menomonie, Wisconsin, and graduated there in 1905. Follwing her graduation Miss McKay was elected to the position of instructor of manual training in the schools of Burlington, Iowa. Miss McKay held this position for three years. During the summer of her second year in the Burlington schools Miss McKay visited the West, and was so fascinated by what she found here that she accepted an invitation to become instructor in Domestic Science in the State College of Washington. E. E. WATSON, M. S. Mr. Watson received the degree of Master of Didactics from the Iowa State Normal College in 1901. He received the degree of Bachelor of Science and also of Master of Science from the Iowa State University in 1905. After gradu¬ ation, he held the position of professorship of Mathematics and Physics in Wheaton College, Wheaton, Ill., for three years, and also did a year’s work in Chicago University lead¬ ing to Doctor’s degree during that time. In the fall of 1908, Mr. Watson was elected Assistant Professor of Mathematics in the Washington State College. william t. McDonald, m. s. Mr. McDonald graduated from Ontario Agricultural College in 1903. Thereafter he immediately accepted the posi¬ tion of editor of The Farmer”, the leading Argicultural paper of the North-West. While holding this position he had charge of the Farmer Experiment Farm, a private experiment station, owned by the paper. In 1905 Mr. McDonald entered the Iowa State College and took graduate work in Animal Husbandry, and at the same time was superintendent of the College farm. In 1906, he received the Degree of Master of Science from the college, and at once accepted the professorship of Animal Husbandry and Dairying in the Oklahoma State College. At Oklahoma, Mr. McDonald also had the supervision of the large college farm. While there he was elected to a position on our faculty and placed at the head of the work here in Animal Husbandry. This position Mr. McDonald assumed at the beginning of the present year. JOSEPHINE M. HOEPPNER, M. A. Josephine M. Hoeppner received her graduate in Pharmacy degree from the Washington State College in 1899. Following her graduation she took up work in the Department of Chemis¬ try in 1899. For the next year and one half she had charge of her father’s pharmacy establishment, but re-entered college and graduated with the Class of 1902, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. In ’02, Miss Hoeppner was elected to the position of instructor in German in the Colfax High School. She held this position for six years the last three of which she was principal of the High School. In 1908, Miss Hoeppner received her Master of Arts Degree in German Language and Literature and was elected to the pos¬ ition of instructor in the Department of German Language and Literature the same year. 14 ALICE E. PATTERSON, A. B. Miss Patterson graduated from the Buffalo High School in 1900. In 1901 she enrolled in the University of Indiana from which school she received her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Chemistry in 1905. Following her graduation from Indiana she attended Chicago University for two quarters. Miss Patterson then held the position of teacher of Chemistry in various High Schools until she was elected to the position of an instructor in Chemistry in the State College at the beginning of the present school year. HENRY L. WALTER, A. B. Mr. Walter was a student in Beloit College, Wisconsin, in 1905 to 1907, where he did his preparatory work. He followed his work at Beloit with a year’s work at Wisconsin. In the year 00-01, he was an instructor in Chemistry in the Olgona, Iowa High School, and held a similar position in the Decorah, Iowa, High School during the next two years. He gave his attention to private business matters, ’03 and ’04, and in ’04 and ’05 he attended the University of Utah, from which he received his Bachelor of Art’s Degree in Chemistry in 1905. During the two years from 1905 to 1907, Mr. Walter was an instructor in Chemistry in the Walla Walla High School which position he held until his election to instructorship in the State College in the fall of ’08. GEORGE ALFRED OLSON, M. S. Mr. Olson began his professional career as a Commercial Chemist in 1892, having held such position in the city of Chicago for four years. In 1896, he enrolled in Lewis Institute in Chicago where he was a student for two years. From 1898 to 1902, he attended the University of Wisconsin from which school he received the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Agruculture in 1902. Mr. Olson held the position of Assistant Chemist in the Experiment Station and Instructor in Agricultural Chemistry in the University of Wisconsin from 1902 to 1908. In 1908, he received his Degree of Master of Science from the University. Shortly following this, he was elected to the position of Experiment Station Chemist in our own school. J. J. L. HELDRING, M. D. C. Mr. Heldring attended the gymnasium at Boopard, Germany, from the time he began his education until 1899. He was a student in the Apeldoorn, Holland, School of Languages and Literature, 1890-1894. Graduated from the Chicago Veterinary College in 1900 from which he received the Degree of Doctor of Comparative Medicine . From 1900 to 1903 he was engaged in the practice of his profession at Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Mr. Heldring attended the Harvey Medical College, Chicago, 1903-’04. He entered the government service in the Bureau of Animal Industry in 1903 which position he held until 1907. He became Assistant State Veterinarian of Washington in 1907 and instructor in the Department of Veterinary Science in the State College in 1908 which position he now holds. 15 HARRY B. HUMPHREY, Ph. D. Mr. Humphrey graduated from the Elk River, Minnesota, High School in 1905. He entered the University of Minnesota the same year. While a student at the University, he was awarded a scholarship in his junior year and held the position of laboratory assistant in plant physiology during his senior year. In 1899, he received his Bachelor of Science Degree from the Academic Department of the University. After graduation, Mr. Humphrey was principal of the St. James, Minn., High School fo r one year, and for two years was princif 1 of the Warren, Illinois, Academy. In 1903, he entered Stanford University for the purpose of doir � special work in Botary. In 1905 to 1907, he held the position of acting instructor in systematic Jtany, and in June of 1907 he received the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy from Stanford. At the time of his election as assistant professor of botany in our college Mr. Humphrey was managing editor of the Cree Publishing Company, Santa Rosa, California. His principle business being the publication of the life and work of Luther Burbank. JESSE REESER, M. S. Mr. Reeser received the Degree of Bachelor of Philosophy from the University of Iowa in 1903. His studies there were pursued in the College of Liberal Arts, being largely in history, economic science and english. He received a scholarship in public speaking and did a year of post-graduate work for which he received the Degree of Master of Arts. Mr. Reeser then spent a year at the Boston School of Expression after which he was for three years in charge of the Department of Public Speaking at Wooster University where he had considerable success, President Holden of the University having spoken very highly of his ability as an instructor both in oratory and debate. It was while he held the position at Wooster that Mr. Reeser was elected a member of the faculty in our own Department of English. Since coming here shortly after the beginning of the second semester of this year, Mr. Reeser has done much to justify the claims made for him, and will undoubtedly fill a long felt need. FRANK T. BARNARD, B. S. Frank T. Barnard graduated from the State College with the Class of ’04, receiving his Bachelor’s Degree in Mining Engineering. Following his graduation he held a position with the Canadian Smelting Refining Company for eight months. Mr. Barnard then did four months of post graduate work in the college, following which he put in one year in the mines and smelters of the various Northwestern states and of British Columbia. Previous to his election as registrar of the State College, Mr. Barnard conducted an assay office and did professional work in Lewirton. CHRISTIAN H. GOETZ, B. S. Christian H. Goetz entered Stanford University in 1897 where he did one year’s work. He then entered the University of the Pacific where he did six years of scientific and classical work. In 1904, he left California and entered the forestry school of the Michigan Agricultural College where he received his Bachelor of Science Degree in 1907. Following this he took one year’s graduate work at the University of Michigan after which he entered the United States Forest Service in New Mexico from which position he was elected to that of instructor in forestry at the Washington State College. KEMPER AUSTIN KIRKPATRICK. Mr. Kirkpatrick received his preparatory education at the Iowa State College from which school he receives his Bachelor of Science Degree in Agriculture, this year, his special line of work being horticulture. Mr. Kirkpatrick was quite active in the student affairs at Iowa, having been a member of the Junior Annual Board, editor of the college paper, and a member of various student organizations, including the Delta Theta Sigma, an Honorary Fraternity. Mr. Kirkpatrick was elected to an instructor- ship in horticulture in our college in February of this year. 16 17 O. L. WALLER, Ph. M. C. A. ISAACS, A. B. M. K. SNYDER, B. S. A. P. ANDERSON, B. S. E. E. WATSON, M. S. CHAS. TIMBLIN, M. A. Rod up! Plump it up! You.! WHAT IS CIVIL ENGINEERING? It’s a dog’s life, but it’s worth while. WHAT IS A CIVIL ENGINEER? Board Definition—Any engineer not military. Some W. S. C. engineers are military. “Mike” Snyder’s Definition—A man who can intelligently read “Wright’s Mechanics”. Another Definition—(Which fits a great many engineers)—An educated hobo. A Good Definition—An engineer is a man who can buck up against a job he never saw before, and make good. The Washington State College Civil Engineering Department ranks with the best. The twenty men who are leaving it in ’09 are all able to hold down good jobs. They are not school kids, they are young men of twenty-five, most of whom have had experience in their chosen line of work. They will make good. 18 19 H. V. CARPENTER, M. S., M. K. AKERS, B. S., MACK MARTIN, M. S., F. W. MOODY, Ph. B., F. M. WARNER, B. S., THOS. A. BYRNE, GEO. A. HALL. A great many things could be said in favor of the Electrical Engineering Department which are unnecessary, since it’s greatness is already widely known. Where, where,—I ask you, where will you find one in this broad state of ours, who does not know of the many wonderful things performed with electricity by the students of this department? Where will you find one who has not heard seemingly fabulous stories concerning the greatest of Electrical Shows, presented each year by the Electrical Students? These shows are veritable revelations of the many wonderful feats that can be accomplished wtih the widely known, yet indefinable agent, electricity. Where is the man who has not heard many times over of the great baseball players who have been developed in this department? You are astonished at any relationship that may exist between electricity and base¬ ball? Listen! Tis easily explained . The great number of graphic curves that an Electrical Engineer must understand before he can begin to comprehend the fundamental principles of electricity, have been so thoroughly assimilated that he can apply them to the national game. Therefore it is easily understood why the greatest base-ball pitchers in the world are Electrical Engineers. History tells us of a famous beanstalk that grew up in a single night. So with us. From a very small laboratory and little equipment, we have grown in an incredibly short time, into a large and flourishing department, with well equipped laboratories. As for the Masters at the head of our department, Prof. Carpenter and Prof. Akers, we will say that they rank second to none in the West. Each year sees a greater number enrolled in this course; but the dreaded Sophomore Physics teaches many that the profession of an Electrical Engineer is not for them. Then Electorical Measurements, the joy (?) and delight (?) of the Junior, persuades still others that the course in Campustry offers a wider field and pays larger net dividends than Electrical Engineering. And so the process of elimination goes on, until at the end of four years, when the graduates step forward to receive their coveted sheep-skins, we are forcibly brought face to face with that old and well-worn adage, “Many are called, but few are chosen”. 20 21 FRANCIS A. THOMPSON, E. M. The miner’s pick shaped the corner-stone for the foundation of progress and prosperity in the west. To-day, technically trained men are adding to the structure so firmly founded. To meet the demand for men to plan the progress and success of the great ventures, the Washington State College School of Mines was founded and for eight years, its graduates have gone forth to con¬ tinue the work already started and unearth the riches of new fields. From Mexico to Peru, from British Columbia to Alaska, State College assayers, engineers and metallurgists are in the mines, mills and smelters. The work of the School of Mines follows the two main branches of the old time profession, Mining and Metallurgy. The first dealing with the extraction of ore from the ground and the second, the extraction of wealth from the ore. Tunnelling and timbering, assaying and milling, ore dressing and metallurgy are taught in the Mining Building at the foot of the college campus, while geology, chemistry, mathematics and surveying and other subjects in the courses are taught in the college recitation halls and laboratories. Each summer finds students of the State College School of Mines working in the mills and mines of Goldfield, the Coeur d’ Alenes and British Columbia. 22 23 W. G. BEACH, A. M., C. E. STANGELAND, Ph. D., A. BERGLUND, Ph. D. The Department of Economics Science and History has been so enlarged and broadened during the last two years that it has become one of the most important departments of the college and the broad and comprehensive courses which it offers are being taken advantage of by a much larger number of students than ever before. The faculty has this year been increased to three members. Dr. Stangeland, after spending a year studying in Europe, is back again, and Dr. Berglund, who filled Dr. Stangeland’s place, while the latter was in Europe, has been retained permanently. These with Prof. Beach, the head of the department, make an especially strong faculty for Economics Science and History. Many students of the college have begun to realize the importance of much training along economic and sociological lines, and not only is the number of students majoring in this department greatly increased, but the number of students from other departments who are electing work here is much larger than ever before. There is no course offered by the college which gives the student a broader and better working basis for a successful career in life than the course in Economic Science and History. To the lawyer, to the business man, to a citizen in any walk of life, a study of the economic and sociological problems which are the problems of citizenship, is of the highest importance and nowhere is a better opportunity offered for that study than in the courses of the Depart¬ ment of Economic Science and History. 24 ALBERT E. EGGE, Ph. D., ALLISON GAW, Ph. D., JESSE REESER. Ph. B. M. A., MISS MARGARET JAYNE. If an American is to be thoroughly educated, he must know his mother-tongue; he must know how to express his thoughts in speaking and writing, and must be conversant with the best thoughts of our greatest minds. If he wishes to be an orator, a statesman, or whatever profession he may choose, he must be familiar with his mother-tongue. And the value of such a knowledge of the English language is readily recognized by every person, who has the natural desire to excel in his chosen line of work. During the past year there have been several additions to the Faculty of the depart¬ ment of English Language and Literature. The department now is under the instruction of Dr. Albert E. Egge, assisted by Dr. Gaw, Mr. Reeser, and Miss Jayne. And under their able tutelage the courses of this department are among the most thorough of all the courses given. 25 CHARLOTTE MALOTTE, A. B. Virgil, Horace and Caesar may not be aware of it, but it is nevertheless true that they are ably and faithfully represented in our institution. It may be that they are not so desirable as acquaint¬ ances in our community, but often-times the things most needed are least desired. The gentlemen above named have figured in the limelight of this old world for many a moon, and it is a pleasure to know that they have not been entirely eclipsed by an age pro¬ nounced materialistic. While those who claim to know when a thing is not a thing, inform us that the call of the day is for farmers or engineers to develop our “great natural resources’ , we are glad there are some who remain loyal to those profound representatives of antiquity. One may be a good engineer and be unable to use good English. One may be a trained farmer and never have the stamp of being college bred, but one cannot associate with anyone of our three accomplished friends or there modern devotees without attaining unto some of those things which are fundamental, if not of pecuniary profit. 26 A. A. CLEVELAND, Ph. D. The Chair of Education was established by the Board of Regents at their meeting in June, 1905. Then in 1907, the Depart¬ ment of Education was created with power to grant degrees on com¬ pleting the course outlined to cover four years work, thus making the degree equal to that of the other courses offered by the College. Prof. H. C. Sampson was made head of the Department and Dr. A. A. Cleveland, Jr., was made Assistant Professor of Psychology. Upon the resignation of Prof. Sampson, in 1908, Dr. Cleveland was made Acting Head of the Department. One member of the Class of 1908 received the B. A. degree from this department. Five members of the Class of 1 909 will receive this degree in June and one will receive the M. A. degree. There are now enrolled in this course with Education as their major, besides the Seniors, two Juniors, four Sophomores, and three Freshmen, but many from the other courses, especially those of Economic Science and History, English, Domestic, and Languages, besides a limited number of teachers who are working outside under the direction of the Department, take work in the department, so that those enrolled during the first semester, 1908, are ten Seniors, nine Juniors, six Sophomores and one Fresh¬ man, thus showing that the College is training teachers of Science for the High Schools of the State as well as Supervisors for special lines of work. 27 C. A. BARRY, M. A., J. J. THIEL, A. B., MISS JOSEPHINE HOEPPNER, B. S., M. A. Gladstone possessed a mighty intellect and was said to have possessed great ability for the mastering of languages. It may be difficult to say how many of our students have the weakness of Gladstone in the direction mentioned, but it is quite true that the learned ones have so arranged matters that it is almost impossible for one to go out from among us without having the acquaintance of some modern language. German Language and Literature seem to be more popular than other courses, notwithstanding the present peaceful attitude of the Kaiser. The attractiveness of our insular possessions has made Spanish more popular of late years. If California keeps up her present policies we may yet find it well to take to the study of Japanese. Until then let us be content with the department as it is. 28 - V “ £ rf 9 S ' I � German Society Students in the Department of English 29 ELTON FULMER, A. M., R. W. THATCHER, M. A., W. R. BLOOR, M. A., C. C. TODD, B. S., HENRY L. WALTER, A. B., ALICE G. PATTERSON, A. B. The chemistry department has been one of the most rapid in growth, and its importance is attested by its size. The indispens- ablility of the chemist to the manufacturer, to the agriculturist and in the prevention of food adulteration is evident from the immense sums of money spent in recent years on this department both by the state and by the national government. The courses offered are designed to meet the needs of students in other branches and to train those electing this course as their major to fill positions as industrial chemists or as teachers. The elaborate apparatus supplied is selected both for the practical analyst and for the theoretical investigator. Of the latter class may be mentioned the Victor Meyer appara¬ tus by means of which the number of atoms in a molecule may be counted. The students and faculty of the department maintain the Moissan Chemical Club, the object of which is to consider important chemical matters of the day and to study phases of the subject not treated in the class room. Yet not all of the weekly meetings of the club are so scientific, for the jolliest of feeds” are sometimes the principal part of the program. And then, while Bunsen burners and beakers are employed for making cocoa and fudge, the scholarly portraits of eminent chemists of the past look down from their places on the walls and witness methods of food analysis not recorded in the text books. 30 A. L. MELANDER, M. S., W. T. SHAW, M. S. The profusion of animal life in Washington and the great topographical and climatic variations under which this exists makes the state an ideal one for the student of the animal kingdom. The Columbia and Snake River basins offer the arid, southern environment, while on the summit of the Olympics the Arctics are brought literally to our feet. Between these two extremes are a series of graduations, each with its distinct formal interest. The abundance of marine forms in the Puget sound country is equaled by no other American coastal region. Our department of Zoology, taking advantage of these natural advantages, endeavors to give to the student a proper appreciation of the world of life about him. The literary student is given a broadening view of the kingdom to which he himself belongs; the agriculturist is taught his natural friends and foes, the means of fostering the one and combatting the other; while the student making scientific investigation or teaching his life work is given a foundation for future work. Above all he is taught to see. The department is provided with the necessary apparatus for individual and original work. To be especially mentioned in the Museum, is the interesting collection of Alaskan birds, taken recently in the far North. The Entomological collections equal any West of the Rockies. 31 R. KENT BEATTIE, A. M., HARRY B. HUMPHREY. Ph. D., S. W. COLLETT, M. S. i importance of the Botany department is not generally unless it’s relation to the other departments is called to : study of Botany is one of the essentials in laying the ns for a Horticultural or an Agricultural course. It is less essential to the successful study of such subjects as and Pharmacy. One must understand the fundamentals in the growth of plants in order to apply practical scientific methods in farming and fruit-growing, and must make a systematic study of plants in order to identify drugs. It is also necessary to understand the problems in Plant Physiology in order to cope with the problems of the forest. Much important research is being conducted by the department in connection with the Experiment Station. The work on the injurious fungi, is of very great importance. The students of the Botany department belong to the Biological Society or “Soc Biol” as it is commonly called. At this society various subjects connected with Biology are discussed. They also have those notorious “pie feeds” which are heartily participated in by those members of the faculty, who happen to be honorary members, as well as by the student members. The herbarium of the department is the largest in the Northwest. The students are nicely classified and preserved in large cases to which there is easy access. 32 SOLON SHEDD, A. M. As the head for the Department of Geology we have one of the most noted Geologists in the west. Prof. Solon Shedd, who graduated from Stanford University in 1 896, and later in May, 1907, took his Master’s Degree from the same institution. He has been connected with the State College, in this department, for the past thirteen years, during which time he has published a report on the Iron Ores of the State of Washington, and has now in press a report on the clays of the state. The aim of the department is to fit the students for work as teachers of the subject, in its different phases, for research along special lines, for positions on State and National Geological surveys, for work along economic lines, and to teach Geology and its relation to Mining. The equipment of the department consists of maps, models, a number of microscopes and thin-sections, for work in petrography, a large laboratory fitted with apparatus for work in clay testing, blow-pipe testing and work in crystallography, ten large specimen •cases, in which are found all of the common minerals, and those of the rare metals. Two of the cases are filled with fossils of all ages and are used in the study of Historical Geology and research work. 33 C. H. GOETZ, B. S. One of the most practical as well as the most commendable departments in the Washington State College is that of forestry. It deals with one of the most momentous questions of the age; namely, the conservation of our timber supply. The profession of forestry affords a lucrative occupation to young men and also a feeling of pardonable pride in that they are helping to build up the nation. It is a profession which touches the republic on almost every side—political, social, industrial, and commercial. The object of forestry is not to preserve the forests because they are beautiful; not because they offer a refuge for the wild animals; but the primary object is the making and maintance of prosperous homes. By the term “forestry” we mean the preservation of forests by wise use. The forest problem is in many ways the most vital internal problem of the United States. In the Arid regions of the West for instance, agriculture depends mainly upon a good steady water supply which is made possible by water-sheds in the mountainous districts. Forestry also bears a direct relation to mining for we all know that mines cannot be developed without timber, while the very existence of lumbering-—the fourth great industry of the United States depends upon practical forestry. As it is with mining and lumbering so it is with transportation, manufacturing, and commerce in general. Forestry, therefore is practically indespensable if we wish to build up a great independent nation. 34 35 1 r GEORGE SEVERANCE, B. S., w. t. McDonald, m. s., I. P. WHITNEY, B. S., C. W. LAWRENCE, B. S., H. B. BERRY, M. S. C. C. THOM, B. S., ALEX. CARLYLE. V _ The study of scientific agriculture is vital to the foundation of our prosperity. We are told by foremost statesmen and builders of this nation that, lest the American farmer adapt scientific methods in place of his present empirical methods he will soon fail to produce sufficient for the home people. The department of agriculture and experiment station at the State College of Wash¬ ington is bringing before its most important constituents—the farmers—that knowledge upon which so much of this State’s welfare depends. It is the centre to which, more than ever in the past, the farmers are seeking for counsel, instruction and demonstration in all those things which promote their welfare. In the development and improvements of cereals alone this department has more than paid for its cost and maintenance to date. In the training of men to be leaders in the great field of agriculture with its thousands of un¬ skilled in theirs, the noblest of all occupations, the college is perhaps doing its greatest good. 36 W. S. THORNBER, M. S., A. G. CRAIG, B. S., K. A. KIRKPATRICK, B. S. Within just a few years, horticulture in Washington has grown almost beyond conception. From a small unpromising beginning of mere local significance our fruit-markets now extend across the continent and to Europe. With this marvelous success in growing of large and small fruits comes the fact that the west is teaching the east a better horticulture. But last of all and that of which we like to speak of most, is the fact that those departments of our own State College and experiment station upon which the development of horti¬ culture has been so dependent, are largely instrumental in this teaching. The total eradication of the San Jose scale and the economical control of the scab and codling moth by this college means millions to the fruit industry. Horticulture is intensely scientific, and the difference between knowledge and the lack of knowledge is most often the difference between success and failure. Hence it is that the fruit-growers are asking for training and information, and that the demand for young men trained in the arts of horticulture is greater than the supply. 37 t SOFUS. B. NELSON, D.

Veterinary—of, or pertaining to, the art or healing or treating diseases of the domestic animals as oxen, horses, sheep and the like.—WEBSTER. It is evident from the above that the great “Noah should visit this department of the W. S. C. in order to better understand the full meaning of the term at the present time. Here is where we are taught, the use of the square knot, a sharp knife, needle, hemostats, etc; the time and place of divulging our well guarded secrets; and above all how, when and where to dodge the “humane society” sympathizer, and in order that the latter be well understood it is necessary that we be cautioned at least three times each week, to avoid the presence of all those acting suspiciously. Not that we fear any action that might be taken against us by our before mentioned foe—for all proceedings are carried out with all due respect to the feelings of the particulai species—but to maintain our standard of cruelty and barbarism among the other depart¬ ments of the college it is necessary that we work behind closed doors to all incapable of grasping the importance of the situation; lest our standard waver and fall. We say “important” because, to us, it is the most important part of our work; to see all normal conditions of the animal economy, as well as all the diseased conditions possible, in life as well as in death. Although, practically a new field in our part of the country, yet, we find no other profession making as rapid strides as ours, and this has been the direct cause in bring¬ ing about an increase in enrollment of from two during the first year to thirty five the present year. During the last year, our department has been greatly increased in efficiency by the addition of new and well-trained instructors; and by the completion of the new “Veterinary Hospital” equipped with all modern appliances. 38 GEORGE H. WATT, B. S., Ph. G., WYETT E. RALSTON, D. V. M., S. W. COLLETT, M. S., C. A. BARRY, M. A. The Department of Pharmacy is now permanently located in the east wing, second floor, of College Hall. A large well lighted laboratory will be fitted up for the work of the next school year. Also a modern drug-room, supplied with samples of all official crude drugs for the Materia Medica classes, and all the needed drugs and preparations for the classes of Manufacturing Pharmacy, Drug Testing etc., opens out of the large lecture room. The number of students enrolled in this department is greater than ever before and it is well represented in the various College enterprises: athletics, glee club, band, declama¬ tion contests, literary societies, etc. The State College Pharmaceutical Association is conducted in an interesting and profitable way by the Pharmacy students. With its increased facilities, and a demand for its graduates always greater than the supply, the outlook for the future is very bright. 39 W. B. STRONG, A. M. Mus.

Instruction in the following branches is given: Piano, voice, violin, composition, musical history, orchestral and band instruments, and elocution. Among the organizations are the band, the orchestra, the glee club and chorus, all of which are open to students who are qualified. A number of fine musical attractions are brought to Pullman each year under the auspices of the School of Music. The following is a partial list of artists and organizations that have appeared during the past few years: Mme. Nordica, Mme. Gadski, Mme. Schumann-Heink, Mme. Blauvelt and Company, Maud Powell, Augusta Cottlow, The Metropolitan Quartet ” Signor Campanari, Signor Martin, Mme. Jacoby, Mme. Rappold, The Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The School of Music conducts an annual Music Festival about the first of May. This custom gives the student an opportunity to become familiar with the great oratorios, and to hear the celebrated artists that are brought together for the occasion. 41 GERTRUDE McKAY, Ph. G., B. S., B. A., OLIVE McKAY, LEILA HUNT, A. B., B. S. “It is the bounty of nature that we live; but of philosophy that we live well”. Who can understand the meaning of those words “Domestic Economy”, Economy of the Household, so well as the one who is making that the chief subject of her college education? In this department she learns to cook the toughest portion of beef-steak in the most palatable manner, as well as to prepare and serve the dainty luncheon, and the more elaborate banquet. She learns the simple stitch and how to make plain clothes, as well as the finest embroidery, millinery and even the tailored suit. For some time it has been a fact of sociological importance, that the woman in the home has become less and less an economic factor. With the broadened view she acquires in the study of home economics in this department, this need no longer be true. It may readily be seen, that hand in hand with her growing knowledge of what to cook and what to wear, goes her knowledge of economy. 42 43 CHAS. TIMBLIN, M. A.. S. C. ROBERTS, M. A., LEILA HUNT. B.

WALTER, GEO. HALL. After five days of experiments in making “bugs and things” God created man, his most perfect piece of work. In like fashion the Board of Regents of the Washington Slate College, after experimenting on some sixteen other departments, created the Depart¬ ment of Elementary Science, their most perfect masterpiece. With this modest thought in mind the Elementary students have gone steadily for¬ ward. This year, with a new assembly room, new class rooms, new officers, in short with a completely new environment and enlarged opportunities, our progress has been propor¬ tionately marked. No group of students in the College is more studious in the prosecution of their work, more enthusiastic in the support of all college enterprises, nor more “wise” in the wisdom that is worth while. But for our great modesty we might further add that the goddess of beauty has smiled upon us so that in form and features, “there is none like unto us.” With this modest statement of our virtues, we make our annual bow to you, dear reader, and await with becoming dignity the honors which we are confident the world will sooner or later shower upon us. 44 CAPT. HARRY E. MITCHELL, U. S. A. When Mars pauses to recount his many deeds he looks with pleasure upon the varied evidences of a year’s progress in his de¬ partment at the Washington State College. The Spokane en¬ campment, May 1 1-15, 1908, was easily the most successful ever held. Spokane people and the officers of Fort Wright left nothing undone which would add interest to the occasion. The govern¬ ment inspection by Capt. Penn on the last day was passed very satisfactorily. One of the notable innovations of the year has been the establishment of the cadet store by the officers. This arrangement has made it possible to have insignia and other supplies on hand when needed, and in every way has proved a great success. Another one is the club room which the officers, by their own labor, have built in the attic of the armory. A leading feature is the shooting gallery, where indoor target practice has been carried on through-out the winter. Special classes have been conducted for the co-eds, and many a fair lady has made a hit—on the target. Dreams of college days would lose much of their interest were it not for the large part which the old regiment with its pleasant memories plays in them. It has trained many for leadership; some for war; and all for citizenship and peace. 45 46 47 When Knighthood was in Bud Respectfully submitted to the officers, With apologies, Capt. H. E.

DesVOIGNES. Moscow, Idaho. Mr. DesVoignes entered the college from the Univer¬ sity of Idaho in the year ' 07- ' 08. Previous to coming here, he had been a student of Professor Cogswell for five years. After leaving here he expects to continue the study of music in Boston and later in Germany. Louis has been a valuable member of the band and the orches¬ tra, and an accompanist on many occasions. His work has been under Professor Kimbrough, and he will there¬ fore receive the Degree of Bachelor of Music. JENNIE DOUGLAS “Jane” Sedro-Woolley, Wn. Miss Douglas entered the college in 1905 in the Department of Music. She was not in school in the year 07-’08 and for that reason graduates from the Department of Music this year. Her services as an accompanist for the Glee Club, Polyhymnia Trio, the Orchestra, and many vocal and instrumental students, have been largely appreciated. Miss Douglas has been popular in her class and with the student body. She is a member of the Alpha Theta Sigma Sorority. As a student of Professor Kimbrough, she receives the Degree of Bachelor of Music. LAURA THOMPSON, Sedro-Woolley, Wn. Although Miss Thompson as a student of Professor Kimbrough graduates from the Department of Music, her activities have no means been confined to that department. She has been a member of the ladies basket-ball team for five consecutive years. She has also been a member of the orchestra for two years, and was this year a mem¬ ber of the Polyhymnia Trio. The piano has been hei specialty, but she is an enthusiastic supporter of foot-ball, and her activities in this direction do not seem to lessen. Miss Thompson is a member of the Phi Alpha Epsilon Sorority. DeFOREST CLINE, “Forest” Asotin, Wash. There is little doubt but that Mr. Cline is at home in the music world. From the time of his enrollment in college, he has demonstrated marked ability as a musician and a composer. For five years, Mr. Cline has been a member of the Glee Club, having held all the offices at the disposal of that organization. He has also been a member of the band and orchestra almost every year since coming here. One of his compositions entitled, “Violets and Autumn Leaves,” a truly beautiful song, has brought Mr. Cline no little distinction, and, we bespeak for him a successful future in his chosen field. 104 Forestry 105 Senior Pharmacy In the fall of 1907, the Faculty were examining the many specimens collected from different parts of the world for the W. S. C. herbarium. They discovered a very rave specimen and not being able to classify it, placed it in charge of experts. Professors Watt and Collett. These men, after spending two years of research and experimental work, found it scattered in most civilized countries, but nowhere flourishing as luxuriantly as in the Palouse. Hoping to extend the name of this important family, the College has decided to distribute, in June 1 909, about fourteen samples. While awaiting further developments and for present purposes, it will be described as follows : FAMILY NAME —Pharmalaceae. SPECIES—Baldy Wattaceae. OFFICAL LATIN NAME—Pharmicium Superbum. OFFICIAL ENGLISH NAME—Senior Pharmics, ’09. SYNONYMS—Pill-rollers, Anti-vets, Grafters. OFFICIAL DEFINITION—The fully developed heads of Pharmici Superbi Senior collected in June of the second year after their first appearance at W. S. C., and yielding by official assay, not less than 99.5% of Aa grades. BOTANICAL CHARACTERISTICS—The botanical history is somewhat obscure. It is known, however, as a sturdy biennial class, distinguished from others of the order by the superior quality of the fruit. A number of the species are of economic importance, while a few are ornamental. The leaves are radical or opposite and always unturned except at recitation period. It flowers at all seasons of the year at base, basket and foot- 106 ball, band, orchestra and glee club. The colors are orange and black, generally assuming the shape of a skull and cross-bones. The fruit is an accomplished pill roller. HABITAT—Sweden, France, Ireland, Finland, Idaho and Pullman, rarely found in the class room or at S. C. P. A. OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION OF DRUG—This drug varies in size and color. Externally it is not of a very striking appearance, but internally it presents many brilliant characteristics. Once in a while you may find the “scale” or “scar” of the rook, but these are fast disappearing and in the best specimens none are found. CONSTITUENTS—This drug owes its valuable properties to a bland fixed oil “Laird” which constitutes about 75% of the entire weight, the sedative principal “Turneaure,” the convulsive constituent “Cramp,” and the great redeeming feature “Thompson.” Un¬ less carefully examinted, the constituent “Smith” may be mistaken for Cupid. Another compound, the exact identity of which has not ye tbeen full ydetermined, is “McMahon.” Alcohol is the best extractive of its virtues. “Roasting” destroys the pleasant properties and it becomes merely an “irritant” and bitter astringent.” The active principles are best developed during the process of curing. DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS—Brilliant flashy recitations are bright witty sayings are most characteristic of this species. ACTION, USES AND DOSE—The action is always “Wright” as long as the motive is pure and a desire for Aa grades is the prompteor. It has been used as a decided “heart tonic” and for “consumption” it has for a long time enjoyed a wide reputation. Imitations and adulterations have been resorted to in an effect to control the high “Price” resulting from the W. S. C. monopoly of the industry. The dose is just a “little” taken as often as needed. OFFICIAL PREPARATIONS—Turner’s Cerate, Wexler Maltby Extract, Cata- plasma Kylloneni, Oleatum Crump, Tincture Westacottae cum Goffibus. UNOFFICIAL PREPARATIONS—The Junior Pharmacy Class. 107 Blest be the name of the “dub” who first invented Summer Schools. May he live long and die happy and may he generations yet unborn celebrate his memory upon instru¬ ments that make a joyful noise. For behold he hath conferred a boon upon man-kind and upon woman-kind and more especially upon old-maid-kind. For, herein is combined in just and due proportion all the intoxicating delights and giddy pleasures of all other schemes for whiling away the “good old summer time.” Listen : Do you seek the enchanting smiles of a “Summer Girl”? Then behold you rave found her in the one time sedate and prudent school ma’am, now gay and giddy with a hope that will not die and a determination that this “last chance” will be a winner even if she has to take a broken down College Professor. Do you long for the sylvan shade of some forest retreat where the babling waters flow? Then betake yourself or rather yourselves to the unfrequented walks of Tangle Wood and from its depths gaze upon the limpid, silver waters of Lake De Puddle. Or is it the joys of the “Roller Coaster” or the giddy fling of the “Shute the Shutes” that fascinates you? Then buy a season ticket on that unique little car that operates between Mechanic Hall and the Coal Bunkers. Is is rest and complete repose from all mental excitement that you require? Then enroll as a student under certain well known professors and you will be quickly lulled into the gentle repose of a happy mid-summer’s day dream. In short the Summer School is the real session of the year. Not to have known the joys of at least one summer school argues yourself unknown to one of the most soul satisfy¬ ing, mind-regenerating, “affinity”-seeking, chances of a college education. 108 r.M.w ,7 Senior Veterinarians NO Ill S.

Bartlett - President Ethel Blanche Wexler ------- Vice-President Edna A. Carnine - Secretary Frances Devin - Treasurer As an association we cannot accomplish our purpose of being truly helpful to every girl in college without going on “from strength to strength” ourselves. Last year we did this by a system of re-organization, enlisting the aid of many of the faculty ladies through an Advisory Committee of which Mrs. Bryan is chairman, and by arranging the cabinet and committees more systematically. This year we have been able to have what every student association would like to have, a general secretary who gives all her time to the work. Next year we are looking for a larger membership, and a more sustained interest in the work of the Association not only from the members but from the other women students as well. The Young Women Christian Association has a distinct place in the life of a college, whether or not it holds this, its rightful position, depends entirely on the young women themselves, so at this commencement time we would ask of you who are to come back in the fall your hearty interest and co-operation, and of you, who are “going out from your Alma Mater” a continued and sustained interest which will seek to give to prospective women students the enthusiasm for this work which we are anxious every girl should have. 120 It is doubtful if a more ideal spot could be found for a summer conference than Seaside, Oregon. Delegates from all the universities, colleges and normal schools of the Northwest, as well as from some of the largest cities assemble there annually for ten days of rest, study and recreation. There where the ocean breezes ever blow, hemmed in by mountain and sea, all quiet save the dash, dash of the waves as they break upon the shore, one could not but believe that— “God’s in his Heaven, All’s right with the world.’ 121 ® FIRST SEMESTER Dana B.

The Social Science Club was born under auspicious circumstances at the home of Prof. Beach early in the present year. The cause of civic righteousness, social and economic progress seems more hopeful when one considers that Price, McDaniels and Murdock helped to bring the Club into being. The Family Problem, the International Distribution of Wealth, Anarchism and all questions of moment are considered none too scared for consideration. Indeed, some of its members are carefully investigating the spirit phenomena and theories of economic waste, as these matters may appear in actual form on the campus, at various boarding houses and dormitories. 132 H.

M. Mann - President Leah Lampson - Secretary- Treasurer True to its name. the Biological Society is an animate organization. At its semi- monthly meetings those interested in the great realm of living things assemble for an hour or so of an evening, to talk of the signs and seasons of passing days,—to call back again the camp-fires of mountain trail and seaside cove or draw from the summer wanderings of its members. Occasionally a deeper vein is indulged, and we listen to the world achievements of the great, but more often our pleasant hour is one of relax, a turning aside from the ordinary routine of the class room. And indeed when the catkins are waving we may sometimes steal away for a day in the fields. % Z V % w a 7 ?. ' 2 f 9h � • % f % � ■ V ‘ , f 1 135 Elbert A. Kincaid Ethel Blanche Wexler Edna A.

Barnhill Deceased 155 156 The Installation of the Kappa Sigma The installation of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity, the first National to enter the Wash¬ ington State College, marks a new epoch in the fraternal life of the College. The history of the fraternities at the Washington State College dates back as far as 1902. The earlier fraternal organizations at that time did not have the purpose nor substance to be strong and prosperous until the announcement of what is now the Ophites, in 1905. This organization has always maintained its strength and today represents the oldest and one of the more substantial fraternal organizations of the school. However as time elapsed there sprang up another bunch of congenial fellows who were still of a different type than those picked by the Ophites and who in 1905 came together in the organization of what is known as the Washington Sigma’s. The growth of the latter has been rapid indeed until that society embraces a large and active member¬ ship. There was also organized at this same period a local fraternity which is now known as the Elliott Chapter of the Alpha Zeta Fraternity. Because of the fact, that the mem¬ bership of the fraternity is limited to students in Agriculture, this organization is properly designated as a professional or honorary fraternity, hence does not come within the scope of this paper. In the Fall of 1906 the local society of Kappa Theta was organized. In many respects it differed from those already inaugurated. It profited by the experience of those which preceeded it and by the activity of the men who decided to start on the venture, a chapter house was at once arranged for and the younger fraternity launched on its mission of securing a National Chapter. After working diligently for two years, both in the building up of a staunch local chapter that would be credit to a National, and in the persistent petitioning to the National organization for admittance, they were finally successful. The final rites of initiation were pulled off on the 6th of March and the local Kappa Theta became Kappa Sigma. The fraternity of Kappa Sigma, in accordance with those who are in position to know, ranks among the foremost of fraternal orders and from a national standpoint will always be a credit to the Washington State College. It was founded at the University of Virginia in 1868 and was originally considered to be a Southern fraternity, but since 1885 has branched out until it now embraces some seventy-nine live, active chapters stretching from coast to coast. A feature of the late initiation was a large banquet, which was given in honor of the visitors, on the evening of March 6th in the new annex to the Artesian Hotel. The banquet room was artistically decorated in the colors of the fraternity, scarlet, white and emerald, and in one corner an illuminated Kappa Sigma pennant added harmony to the scene. Toasts were given and both the new and old fraternities discussed. The guests included representatives from the Universities of Washington, the University of Oregon and the entire Idaho chapter. The chapter just installed has secured two large lots just off the Campus in what is known as “College Park Addition” where an excellent view of the Campus, town and country-side may be obtained and plans are now being laid for a permanent Chapter House. The coming of one National into the school practically insures the success of those who are now petitioning and there is but little question that a year from now will find at least three Nationals at the Washington State College.

Thomson Mrs. W. H. Harvey 165 167 168 It is a clear crisp November day. The band is playing the college song, and then everyone, on your side of the field, sings the chorus. Besides you, in all her glory, sits the best girl. Such noise and excitement, as the team comes on the field; in a few minutes the big game of the year will start. The players line up for the kick off; the noise dies down; that big blonde on the end next you can hardly wait for the whistle. There is absolute silence now, and a lumpy feeling comes in your throat, your jaws set tight, and something akin to a tear steals into your eye, you have forgotten where you are and what you are doing;—all else is forgotten except the game. The whistle blows; then a thud, and the ball goes high in the air, end over end. Perhaps it will go over the goal line; no, the little quarterback gets it on the five yard line; he starts forward but the big end with the flaxen hair downs him in his tracks. A roar from the crowd; the little quarter jumps up and you see him giving a signal; the big fullback goes back for a punt; the ball is passed and “plunk” goes the leather. The ball goes nearly straight up, boring its way through the air with one end, then it gently turns half way over and floats out and out a beautiful spiral, which finally lands squarely into the arms of the safety. The crowd is hysterical and there is one continuous roar from the grand stands. The big game is on,-—FOOTBALL, “THE GREATEST OF COLLEGE SPORTS.” Foot-ball in the North-West, has grown steadily in importance since its introduction, and its standard has also advanced to such an extent, that at the present time, it is justly commanding the attention of the eastern critics. Of course we realize that there is a great deal of room for speculation as to the stardard of foot-ball here as compared to that of the East, but from all the evidence we have, the best teams here compare very favorably with the Eastern teams. We have several cases on record, in which men of the North-West colleges have gone to Eastern institutions and were the “stars” on their teams the first year. Dimmick, Philbrooke, Dolan, and Pullen are good examples. The first three were stars of the Notre Dame team this past season, and Pullen has been the “star” on the West Point for the last three seasons and is captain-elect for next season. In 1906, his first year 169 in the East, he was the sensation of the football world, getting special comment from Walter Camp, who is considered the greatest critic of football. In 1907 the St. Louis team champions of the Missouri valley, went down to defeat before the team of the State College. Thus from all the data we have at hand, we naturally come to the conclusion that North-West football cannot be very far behind that of the East and Middle West. That the northwest athlete is on a par with those of the East, is brought out by the fact that Smithson, Kelley, and Gilbert, Olympic champions and “stars 1 on the All-American team that went to London the past Summer and won the world’s championship, were at one time students of Northwest colleges. The Northwest football season of 1908 was very successful and several great contests were pulled off. The State College started the football season with only three or four men of the last season’s team in the line up. There was only one backfield man left of that “Great Scoring Machine” of ’07. Two new ends and two new tackles were to be supplied; a coach who was unfamiliar with the men and athletic conditions in the North-West, was to do the coaching. Thus, the prospects looked anything but promising. The Alumni and our best supporters, together with the more prominent news papers did not consider our team in the running and could see nothing but defeat and old Washington State at the bottom of the column. The coach worked hard, and the team pulled together with a spirit to win. This fighting spirit turned defeat to victory, and brought the State College from the bottom to the top of the column. The “spirit” won; not the stars on the team, but the spirit in which each man played his part. This type of Washington State spirit will always win and will never die because you can’t kill it. Cheney Game:—Early in the season our new team met the weak team of Cheney Normal. The game was uninteresting and resulted in the State College scoring at will. Score—Cheney O; W. S. C., 73. Spokane Y. M. C. A. Game:—Next came the game with the Spokane Y. M. C. A. which was a repetition of the Cheney game. Score—Y. M. C. A., O; W. S. C. f 31. Bremerton Navy Yard Game:—The following week the much touted, Bremerton Navy Yard team locked horns with the sturdy sons of Washington State. The field was a sea of mud and the game resulted in an easy victory for W. S. C. Score—Navy, 0; W. S. C., 44. At this juncture, the schedule was completely upset and the team disappointed, by the University of Montana and the Butte School of Mines each of whom called off their games with us. University of Washington Game—November 5th. The team left via Northern Pacific for Seattle, home of the University of Washington. The Washington State team was greatly handicapped in this game by the long trip across the state, changing climate and altitude, poor physical condition and the absence of good practice games, while the University of Washington had previously met the strong teams of Whitman and Whith- worth colleges. The game was somewhat slow but full of sensational plays. In the first ten minutes of play the U. of W. continuously threatened the Washington State goal. After thir 170 the game began to get even and then W. S. C. gradually advanced the ball into Wash¬ ington’s territory, when Halm, the great State College kicker, scored four points by a well directed place kick. Washington soon after secured an advantage and scored two points on a safety. In this play Halm was obliged to stand on a piece of ground full of holes and covered with tall weeds. It was impossible for center, Cherry, to make a good pass, and a fumble resulted giving Washington the benefit of a safety. Washington State took a brace and was pressing the University hard at end of first half, which ended with a score of 4 to 2 in favor of Washington State. The second half started with Washington showing a burst of speed and in about I 5 minutes of play they secured a difficult place kick after several tries. The score now stood 6 to 4 in favor of Washington. Now W. S. C. took a brace and pushed Washington back to back, when they fumbled a punt and knocked it over the goal line where they fell on it, thus giving the State College two points which evened the score, 6 to 6. In the latter part of the game W. S. C. was crowding Washington against her goal posts. A blocked place kick and the call of time was all that saved them. This game was remark¬ able, in that each team secured a place kick and a safety. The team left that night for home feeling satisfied with the results of the game and looking forward to the next year when they would meet Washington in Pullman. Idaho Game—Next came the BANNER EVENT of the year, the game with Idaho. The night before the game there was an immense rally and several enthusiastic speeches were made by old students and members of the Alumni, who had come with several hundred more, to witness the great contest the following day. The day of the game was ideal, and the natural ampitheater of Rodger’s field was a flowing mass of colors. The first half started off fast and W. S. C. soon had the ball in Idaho’s territory, where she tried for place kicks time after time. After some minutes playing Idaho recovered a punt in Washington State territory and a I 5 yard penalty gave Idaho the ball on W. S. C. 20 yard line, when Small, Idaho’s quarterback, made a place kick. After this W. S. C. tore into the Idaho players and soon Halm had made an easy place kick. From this time till end of first half Idaho was fighting hard to save her goal. In the second half W. S. C. played Idaho off her feet, and but for an unfortunate incident, in which Halm had to leave the game, the Washington State could have made several place kicks. W. S. C. would work the ball down to within a few feet of Idaho’s goal line only to be held by the stubborn defense of the Idaho players when the ball would be lost on downs or a feeble attempt to make a field goal. When the game ended the score was a tie, 4 to 4. Whitman Game—On Turkey day the sturdy Missionaries went down to defeat at the hands of the husky Washington State men. Score, 4 to 0. The field was muddy and the weather was bad, but a large enthusiastic crowd was at hand. Whitman had run a special train, and rooters from both colleges were very much in evidence. 171 Whitman started the game with a rush, as was predicted, and had the State College on their 12 yard line. Here Washington State held like a stone wall and kicked out of danger. After this the W. S. C. goal never was in danger, and she gained almost at will. Two 25 yard runs by Borleski, Whitman’s right half, and the continuous penalizing of W. S. C. probably kept the score from being much larger. The State College was penalized 95 yards in the first half and 85 in the last one, to a total of 45 yards for Whitman. In the second half W. S. C. started off with a rush and carried the ball to Whitman’s 4 yard line when W. S. C. was penalized 1 5 yards for holding. Here Halm’s good right foot came into play again and he scored 4 points by a difficult place kick. The rest of the game was in Whitman’s territory and when the final whistle blew Whitman was trying hard to save herself from a touch-down. CHAMPIONSHIP—Washington and the State College were the only two teams that were not defeated and since these two played a tie game (6-6) the Northwest championship stands equally divided between the two. Some critics give Washington the championship and puts Washington State in second place because of comparative sco res, in which Washington perhaps has a shade the best of it The comparative score test, as applied to football, is far from being correct and should never be used, only when teams have not actually met. To show how absured the comparative score test is, the following is sufficient:— In 1907 Spokane Hi had Yale, champions of the East, beaten about 49 to 0 by comparative scores. In the season just passed Whitman should have beaten us I 1 to 0, but we defeated them 4 to 0, a difference of I 5 points. We bested Whitman, O. A. C. bested Whitman, we tried Washington, hence, by comparative scores O. A. C. had it over Washington six points, but Washington beat O. A. C. 32 to 0. In the East the Navy had the Army bested, but the opposite turned out to be the case. Pennsyl¬ vania and Carlisle played a tie. Pennsylvania beat Cornell 28 to 0, Cornell tied Chicago beat Minnesota 29 to 0; therefore, by comparative scores Carlisle should have defeated Minnesota 57 to 0, but when the final whistle blew, the score stood II to 6 in favor of Minnesota. In the East, Harvard and Pennsylvania each went through the season without a defeat. Harvard was best by comparative scores, but all critics divide the championship between them. By these facts it is absurd to consider seriously Washington’s claim for the undis¬ puted championship on the basis of comparative scores, especially when our team, in a different climate and altitude, without having had any good practice games, played them to a standstill on their home grounds. The State College management challenged Wash¬ ington to a second game to play off the tie for the championship, but Washington turned down the challenge. Ranking of North West teams—(I ) Washington State College and University of Washington; (2) Whitworth; (3) University of Oregon; (4) Oregon Agricultural college; (5) Whitman; (6) Idaho; (7) Willamette University; (8) Puget Sound University; (9) Pacific University. 172 In addition to the varsity team there were several class and department teams, including the Junior, Middle, and Senior Elementary, Freshmen, Sophomores, “Vets” and “Pharmics.” In these teams some excellent material was brought to the surface and some of the men will make a strong bid for the Varsity next year. The “Vets” and the Freshmen had the best in the Collegiate classes while the Senior “Preps” had the best in the Elementary Department. The Author has been asked to pick an ALL W. S. C. COLLEGIATE and an ALL “PREP” team. This is a very difficult task and only the opinion of one man, hence cannot meet the approval of all. The following selection is based upon the showing made in the actual games played with and against the minor teams of the college. ALL COLLEGIATE ALL “PREP.” Keaton, “Vet” Lockwood, 3d Year Center Conover, Freshman Hoxsey, 1st 44 Guard Knight, Sophomore Williams, 3d “ Guard Harrison, Sophomore Hanlon, Capt., 2d ( Tackle Burr, Freshman Cornwall, 3d «« Tackle Seltzer, Capt. Sophomore Birchfield, 1st 4 End Beckman, Freshman Richenback, 2d “ End Howard, “Vet” Rodgers, 3d 44 Quarter Pickering, “Vet” Cook, 3d 44 Half Cagel, Freshman Schweitzer, Freshman Walker, 2d “ Half McRhea, Freshman Crane, Sophomore Geddis, 3d 44 Full SUBS. Alcorn, Adams, Langdon, Wood, Pharmic Sophomore Freshman Freshman Foster, 1st Year Phillips, 3d Tweed, 1st Ettenborough, I st Prospects for next year are fair. We lose the center trio. Cherry, Halm and Wexler, and Coohn on the end; and leave such men as “Pat” Crane, Buck, “Dutch” Harrington, Deaner, Conover, Cagle, Rodgers, McRhea, Clark, Seltzer, Schweitzer, Hanlon, Langdon, Nelson, and others, we will have to be reckoned with in the running next year. Herbert Wexler. 173 HERBERT WEXLER, Capt. (Wcx) Class ’10. Wexler learned football at W. S. C. He has played it so well that he was chosen by his team¬ mates to lead them through the season of 08 and he has carried the responsibility well. He has played four years on the Varsity and in every position from end to end in the line. Wexler is a hard consistent player and his presence on the team will be greatly missed next year. He will make a vacancy which few can fill. FRED HUNTER, (Jumbo) Class 10. Played on the team in 1905. Returned to school last fall and in his persuasive Missouri dialect per¬ suaded the coach that he belonged on the team. As the season progressed it was clearly demonstrat¬ ed that his statment was well founded. Jumbo” can always be depended on to take care of his position in the line, and is always a hard consistent player. CECIL CAVE, Capt.-elect (Tony) Class ’ll. A steady, heady player, always good for a gain and a tower of strength on defense. His work in running back punts and carrying the ball in the Idaho game was little short of marvelous. Has played on the Varsity” for three years and the Captaincy goes to him as a reward for his good work. Re¬ ceived a number of votes for the end and half-back positions on the All-northwest Team. 174 EDWARD CHEELY, (Ned) Class 11. Entered W. S. C. from Colorado State College in the Spring of ’08. Has had no conflicts with the Faculty, but his love affairs are numerous. Plays hard all the time and held down left-half on the “Varsity in all the collegiate games of the season. JESSE LAIRD, (Tub) Class ’ll. A product of the “Palouse country. Entered from the Garfield High school, warbled on the Glee Club in his freshman year. Such diversion, how¬ ever, was not strenous enough for “Tub’s” constitu¬ tion and he turned out for football. Gives promise of becoming one of the best line-men in the north¬ west. Fat men are usually jolly and good-natured and “Tub is no exception to the rule. THOMAS FISHBACK, (Fish) Class ’ll. Learned the game when a freshman and played it when a sophomore. Big, strong and aggressive he promises to become one of the best tackles ever produced at the State College. Though handicapped by a bad knee during the entire season he was in every play and never loafed a moment. 175 ALVA COOHN, (Cooney) Class 11. Half back on the championship team of 1902. Returned to college to complete his course in engineer¬ ing, the “Call” of the padded mole-skins was too strong to be ignored, and the end of the season found him holding down an end position on the “Varsity.” A steady, consistent player giving his best to the team all the time. OTTO DEANOR, (Big) Class ’12. Entered from Colorado Agricultural College in the fall of 1908. Played in the Washington game and played so well that “the Washingtons tremble still.” Says he will make them all take notice next year. Big, jovial and good-natured, he is liked by all who know him. JOSEPH HALM. (Joe Bunch) Class ’10. Learned football in his “Prep” days. Played left guard and did the punting for the “Varsity for four years. Celebrated his last year in football by kicking one goal that shattered Washingtons claim to the Championship, and another that tied the score in the Idaho game, and still another that won the Thanksgiving battle with Whitman. Chosen for the “All-Northwest Team three consecutive seasons. Favorite expression, “Whats the use.” Motto: “Cheer up Joe Bunch your not dead yet.” 176 PHILLIP CHERRY, (Chub.) Claw ’09. Came from O. A. C. two years ago. Entered the Junior class and played football well enough to make the “All-northwest” Team. Is undoubtedly the best center that ever donned the moleskins for the State College. Chosen for the ' All-northwest” Team three consecutive seasons. Fat, happy and cheerfull; farvoriate expression: “Lets Roll a Rook.” ” Very fond of frogs. HAMILTON MONTGOMERY, (Monty) 10. Has played full-back on the “Varsity” for two years. Learned the game on the famous old “Prep” Team. Joy of his life is backing up the line, whicA he does in high class style. Out of Football season he warbles on the Glee Club, and occasionally steals a Prep Feed for diversion. HOLT BOONE, (Booney) Class ' ll. The youngster of the team. A fair-haired, smil¬ ing boy on whose slender shoulders rests the head of a natural general. Played quater-back in the Whit¬ man game and ran the team like a veteran, never failing to give the right play at the right time. “In sooth he is a very modest youth.” 177 ARTHUR BRYAN. (Prexie) Class 10. “Prexie played quarter-back for two years and then shifted to end and half-back positions. Has the reputation of being the best tackier on the team. Is a gritty player with plenty of that fighting spirit that goes to make up a winning team. JOHN FORAN. (Jack) Class ’13. Made the team through hard consistent work. Has three years of football before him and bids fair to be¬ come one of the best quarter-backs in the northwest, that is if his love affairs do not interfere. He be¬ lieves that only the brave deserve the fair. EARL GALBRAITH, (Dyke) Class 11. Learned football at the Spokane High School. Held down an end position on the “Varsity” during the entire season. A bunch of nerve and grit, always in every play, and goes into every play with a determination to break it up. In his own mind he is of the opinion that he is a man, (?). It has been hinted that he was not. 178 “Pat” Crane and “Paddy” Buck, both members of the 1911 class both steady, consistent players who will undoubtedly make some farmer hustle to hold a regular position on the team next year. Both are originally from Emerald Isle. “Pat” came to the college from Pugent Sound Academy where he had played football more years than he cared to remember. “Paddy” hails from Mount Vernon and says he was the pride of the Mount Vernon High School. ' 179 Walter Rheindchild, coach. “Rhiney” learned the game under the famous Yost of Michigan and instilled the fighting spirit of the famous coach into his own men at the State College. From a squad of green men he turned out a team which was a close contender for the Championship. Houston McCroskey (Dink) Class 09, manager. Came from the Garfield High School. Played on the second team for three years and then laid aside the moleskins to assume the duties of manager. Ralph Rader (Fat) Class ’09. Played football for four years and was considered one of the best men in the north¬ west. When barred by the four year rule his love for the game drew him to the Gridiron as a coach and he proved a valuable assistant to Coach Rheindschild. 180 FOOT BALL RECORDS 1908. W. S.

The track man cannot depend upon the clveer punting nor upon the strike-outs of the speedy picher to win his contests; he must do his “stunt” alone. Thus the mind as well as the body is developed, and the competitor gains a confidence and self-reliance that no other branch of athletics can give. The track season of 1 908 was greatly retarded by bad weather which practically prohibited out-door work until a very late date. Yet the showing made by Captain Halm and his men, coached by “Dutch” Kiesel was anything but bad. The University of Montana was defeated on her own grounds. The meet being pulled off in a snow-storm. True, the Triangular who lost to the Missionaries, but it was a case of being “sandwiched” between Whitman’s and Idaho’s stars, for the score card will show that Capt. Halm and his “Bunch” could have won “hands down” from either of the above institutions in a dual meet. Then there is the Oregon meet; Yes it was lost, but it is no disgrace to be beaten by Bill Haywards training. Yet, if you could have seen the look of anxiety on old Bill’s face until the final score of U. of O. 62; W. S. C. 60 was given out, you would have agreed with him that “We were lucky to beat those farmers.” No other institution in the North-west was able to give Oregon such a close “rub” for the championship honors.

Although Washington State College did not win the championship she was close up to the leaders at the end of the season. Under the leadership of Capt. Anderson the team played high-class ball during the entire season and defeated some of the best teams on the coast. The outlook for a winning team next year is exceedingly bright, Putman and Holcomb both “Varsity” men, will be lost, but an abundance of good material is at hand from the second team to fill in with. With “Bunk” Barnes and his spirit of “Never say die” to lead them, the team of next year can be expected to fight from whistle to whistle of every game. SEASONS RECORDS W. S. C.47 S. A. A. C.28 W. S.

The Intercollegiate Championship has been held so long by the W. S. C. that many regard it as a permanent arrangement. For the past five seasons the championship pennant has been awarded to the State College. Last year saw the final workings of a team made up of men who had played together for a number of years. The men who leave the team make holes in the line up, which will break up the team work acquired through several years of hard practice In the pitching staff we lose our old standbys Halm and McCully, whole loss will be keenly felt. “Shorty” Thompson will not be behind the bat, urging the team to work every minute. Triplette, the star second baseman, is lost as are also Weller and Meyer, who can hold their own with any two fielders in the Northwest, not only in fielding but also in the hitting department of the game. These losses do not mean, how ever, that we will have a weak team. With the abundance of new and second team material, with the hearty support of the student body, and with that W. S. C. spirit that does not give up until the 3rd man is out in the last half of the ninth inning, let us hope the championship pennant will always remain the undis¬ puted possession of the W. S. C.

Fenn 207 The Educated Man and Citizenship To the social and political optimist, we are today living in an era of unprecedented prosperity. Our hills and plains are yielding the abundance of their fruits. Our mountains are offering their timber and their ores. The rising sun colors the smoke of a thousand Northern factories; the dawn-breeze rustles among the fruit-laden boughs of ten thousand Southern groves. The noon-day quickens the corn fields and the cotton fields of the greatest valley in the world. The declining rays summon from their toils the multitudinous laborers of Western fields, forests and mines. From ocean to ocean our resources are unfolding themselves; while north, south east and west reach our railways, “the arteries through which pulses the life blood of the nation.’ Truly, a bountiful Providence has blessed us with a land as fair as the promised land of old that flowed with honey and milk. More than this, we are nearing the close of the most successful administration our country has known; an administration that has advanced our nation to the fore-most position among the powers of the world. To such an observer there is little evidence of the crises in national affairs that de¬ veloped our leaders of old. We need not the foresight of Samuel Adams, the generalship of Washington to lead us through the throes of revolution. We need not the eloquence of Webster, the magnetism of Henry Clay to oppose internal division. Where then is the field for the statesman of today? Ar there no problems for us to solve, no dangers to face, no battles to fight? May we idly enjoy the fruits of other men’s labor? Let us examine ourselves; let us take a deeper glance into our present condition lest like the Romans of old we boast of our outer strength while our inner walls crumble to dust. True, we do not face the same perils our fathers faced, but changing conditions have developed other evils of greater magnitude; for thousands of men who would respond to the first call of battle are indifferent to the perils which insidiously menace us. An examination of our country’s condition reveals these facts: whereas, financially, we are dazzled with the display of our success, socially we face problems unprecedented in history, whose solution no man may see; politically our house is not clean; industrially the word equality is but a name; morally the powers of evil are of giant strength. These are the forces against which the true statesman and the patriot of today must array him¬ self. They are not to be denied. And the foe is indeed worthy the truest steel. Let us look to these evils. Socially we face the unparalleled condition of two dis¬ tinct races existing together on the same soil, under the same government, a race but four generations removed from savages on terms of equality with a race that for two thousand years has struggled upward to reach its present plane. Our brothers of the South are out¬ numbered on their own soil by this alien people. The question is vital and impending and in no true sense is it local. We of the North all bound to the white people of the south 208 by all the ties of humanity, of nationality, brotherhood. The theory that this race might one day return for the enlightenment of the “dark continent” whence it was savaged, we now recognize for the dream and the subterfuge it was. Shall we turn for solution to those who point to a race war, that lurid spectre with its crimson stained sickle of death? God forbid! May we hope for some happier culmination which, setting at naught all prece¬ dent and the prejudice of thousands of years, shall with the understanding which unselfish¬ ness alone gives, guide this race to the service it may preform, the station it should occupy? Only the future may reveal. Other problems face us. In searching our political records we find on almost every page the word corruption. We who erstwhile boasted of this as the land of liberty, have been forced to bow in shameful recognition of our greatest cities ruled by machines and party bosses; our richest states governed by insurance companies, millionaire miners and railway babbies; and even our national government made foul with self-seeking and hypocrisy. We see the people’s money stolen, their lives endangered, their morality ravished. The sacredness of the ballot, that privilege foi which so much precious blood was shed, is openly violated, bought and sold with the unclean coin of usurers. Cheek by jowl beside the corruption in government office, its a better and its prime cause is the wickedness of our industrial system. It has been said that we stand today on the frontier of a new civilization which the twentieth century is to achieve. The industrial developments of the past fifty years have produced forces that are today a living defiance to law and order to the very principals on which this nation was founded. The principles of co-operation, altruistic when properly regulated have under our system led to the formation of corporation, and of trusts, all-powerful, unregulated. This has resulted in the exclusion of competition, absorption of the independent producers, control of supply, and the arbitrary right to raise or lower prices. It suborns officers, purchases governments, lays its hand on the throat of honest industry, rifles manhood of its just reward, womanhood of its security. There sounds in our ears today the cry of two million children, toilers in fields and factories, mines and sweat shops; innocent victims of avarice, lacking even the power to voice their own woes ; whose very existance is a dumb appeal for help. Our very moral spirit is debauched with commercialization. The instincts of humanity are smothered. Wtih the assertion, “Bussiness is business,” we proceed to the exploitation of the brother. We flout the laws we make. Of all the civilized nations this is the most unsafe in which to live. We have forty homicides where Canada has but two and Germany one. Our percentage of convictions is less than two, theirs ninety-five. We still have with us the curse of intemperance in its many forms, wasting the best energy of our land. With it came all its attendant ills of proverty, shame and crime. These are the problems on whose solution rests the weal or woe of our national life. This is the field for the true citizen of today. Can anyone say that there is not need of the greatest minds, the wisest councils, the most loyal and unselfish devotion at the helm of the ship of state? Never was the time for men more ripe, the call more urgent. And who is to answer this call? Is it the working man? No! Crude, untrained. 209 leagued for alms, frequently as wantom as those of capital, from the laborer comes little help. Labor needs the guidance which it cannot give. Who is then to lead them? To whom is our nation to turn in this her time of need? The answer is clear. The tread of all times proves it. Today it comes with additional force. On the educated man the burden falls. On him rests the welfare of the nation, him whose responsibilities have increased as his opportunities; responsibilities that may be appreciated only by those who with Emerson believe this republic to be the last effort of a divine providence in behalf of the human race In ancient and mediaeval times there was a class of people, the nobility, who rec¬ eived advantages to which the masses could not attain. These privileges carried with them duties and obligations toward the less favored classes. So are we today receiving at the hands of society the greatest of all privileges—education. Not by our own merit, nor for any service rendered do we get this. It is bestowed by society. In accepting this we place ourselves under moral obligations to return to society the interest on her investment. Manifold, then, is our obligation. As a munificent God has blessed us with so bountiful a land in which to live; as our forefathers died that we might own and enjoy that land; and as we today posses the greatest country’s liberators and to our fellow men, to realize and to spread the principles of God humanity. The time approaches when from all over our land a new army of educated men go forth to join the ranks of the world’s workers. Strong men in the prime of life and the vigor of manhood armed with the best preparation a nation can give. Men trained to activity, fired with ambition, and guided with ideals, going forth equipped to lead. Let us then as we take our stations in life, have firmly fired in mind that great lesson of service, that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Let us accept the highest duties of citizen¬ ship that we may answer our country’s call for men—men who, in the cause of humanity, will shoulder the black man’s burden and, “whatever the final outcome’’ will deal to this once shackled people the justice to which as creatures of God’s Kingdom and ( as our brothers) they are entitled: men who, with a love of truth and in service to their country and their fellowmen, will throw the gauntlet to the defilers of our political honor, will bare the blade against the workers of evil in high places: men who, with hearts beating in sympathy with the unfortunate and fallen, will “in the spirit of the knights-errant of old, ’ crusade against ignorance, vice, and crime; will labor for the enlightenment of the masses; will dispel the lethargy and indifference of the voting public; will instill into them a desire for truth and provide them with the intelligence to direct their efforts. “Let us be men who in the service of our country shall have no private fortune to make, no candiate to elect, no party to serve, no object but truth—to hear a question open and riddle it with light. When, to the educated man comes a full realization and acceptance of his responsi¬ bilities, then may we glance into the future and behold this republic, with all her internal forces adjusted, every shadow lifted, and the light falling upon all alike; and with the brightness of her radiance guiding other nations into the paths of righteousness and love.

Jan. 22d, 1909, Miss Sophie Laura Ormsbee died at her home in Waitsburg after a lingering illness. Miss Ormsbee was a member of the class of ’07, with which class she was graduated with high honors, from the Department of Latin. D uring her career as a student here, Miss Ormsbee was very active in literary and social affairs. She was literary editor of the ’07 Chinook; and she also took part in intercollegiate debate, being the first woman to enter this field or activity in the college. Miss Ormsbee’s name is one of particular prominence in fraternity circles, she being one of the organizers of the Pi Delta Phi, the first women’s fraternity in the college. Her active and commendable career as a student in the college and her high standing, as an excellent Christian young woman, have endeared her to both students and faculty, and won for her a large circle of friends, by whom her death is deeply mourned. Old Winter came and chilled the life of one of our friends. On Jan. I 4, 1 909, Mr. Joseph A. Meis, who had been a student in the college for three years, died at Colfax. Because he was one of our number we take this means of offering a simple tribute to his memory. 212 213 Hop Lee First Prize “Dance now, you little whelp,” yelled Lanky Red, bully of the camp, and he swung his blacksnake about his head and made it crack with the report of a pistol in Hop Lee’s face. Hop Lee danced. Indeed he could not do otherwise, for loud guffaws from either side told him that he had no sympathy from the crowd. His face and neck were covered with bloody welts where the whip had struck, and he glanced quickly from side to side to see if there was any chance to escape. Seeing this, his tormenter swung the whip the harder. “Now sing,” he yelled. His victim’s lips moved dumbly but made no sound. “Look lively now.’’ Again the black- snake hissed, catching the little fellow fairly on the mouth and causing him to scream with pain. Just then the crowd at Lanky Red’s back parted, and the boss of the camp, a tall, broad-shouldered young man, stepped up behing the brute with the whip. “What are you doing?’’ he demanded sharply. Lanky Red wheeled sharply about. It’s none of your business, Ashton,” he snarled. “You needn’t think that because you are boss of the camp you can boss me.” With this he turned his back and raised his whip to continue his fiendish work. As be brought his arm back for the swing, his whip was wrenched from his grasp, and he turned to see the young boss throw it far over the crowd. As if dazed, he stood for a moment facing the boss, his huge bony hands clasping and unclasping, his shoulders humped forward under a red shirt that hung about his gaunt form like the clothes on a scarecrow. His red whiskers bristled with range. Then crouching as if for a spring, he rushed at the boss; but he rushed blindly. As he reached striking distance, the boss stepped quickly to one side, and reaching out suddenly caught him by the neck and twisted him completely around, sending him spinning into the crowd, where he landed on his back. Puzzled, he picked himself up and again faced the young man, who was coolly awaiting him. The circle of dark, sinister faces about them grew in closer as Lanky Red made his second rush; but it was his last. The boss caught him on the hip, and the next thing Lanky knew he was soaring in the air. His flight was short, however, and he lit with his face in a heap of refuse that his late victim, the cook, had thrown out the day before. For a moment he lay there partly stunned. Then he rolled over and sat up to scrape the remains of yester¬ day’s mush out of his eyes. His whiskers were full of coffee grounds and apple paring. The loggers roared with delight, but Hop Lee failed to see the humor of the situation. During the fight he had run to the cook-house and got his best and biggest carving knife, which he now offered to the boss. “Now the time, killee quick,” he urged, and pointed to his tormenter, who by this time had completed his toilet and was about to get up. Ashton took the knife. “No, not this time,” he said grimly, and started for his cabin, which lay at the edge of the woods and at a little distance from those occupied by the men. Hop Lee followed him reverently, looking up first at his hero and then at the red-shirted figure that skulked across the open space and disappeared into a cabin near the end of the row. On reaching his 214 door the boss turned. “You had better go to your bunk, Lee,” he said. The little cook clasped his hands together and looked imploringly into Ashton’s face. “Me aflaid,” he said, “me aflaid,” and he glanced nervously toward the end of the row. Ashton relen¬ ted. “All right, bring your bed in for tonight,” he said, and the little fellow trotted off to get his blankets. He soon returned and spread them in the corner; then he went shyly over to the boss. “You velly good to Hop Lee, Hop Lee, helpee you sometime if can.” As if ashamed if this demonstration of affection he went quickly to his corner and buried himself in his blankets, little knowing how soon his help would be needed. Ashton sat and stared with unseeing eyes out of the open door, from which could be seen the Sink river, so called because of its many treacherous whirlpools and sink holes. It bounded the clearing on the north side and was the only means of transporting logs from Buckeye camp to the nearest market. At the east end of the clearing stood the barn, while a well-used skid road led from the opposite side into the heavily timbered forest. But Ashton saw none of those things. His thoughts ran back over the four weeks that had passed since he had taken charge of the camp. Things had not gone so smoothly as he wished, and the fight with Lanky Red was the climax of a number of lesser disturbances of which that individual had been the cause. Soon old man McGaw, the barn foreman, came around for his evening chat, as was his wont. He sat down on the doorstep, lit his short-stemmed apology for a pipe, and puffed meditatively for a few minutes. “Well, I guess Red is feeling kind of sore tonight,” he said. “Done me good, though; he had bullied the camp long enough. Every dog has his day, and I guess he’s had his’n.” “Why he dosen’t like me is more than I can see,” said Ashton. “I’ve always treated him and the rest of the men fairly, haven’t I?” “You bet you have,” replied McGaw, taking his pipe out of his mouth in order to speak more emphatically, but you see it’s this way. Lanky Red thought he ought to be boss of this camp after Harrigan left, but the company goes and puts you in. He’s been talking about you ever since, and I want to tell you to keep your eye peeled for him. He’ll do you dirt if he gets a chance.” The boss arose and began preparing for bed. “Oh I’ll take care of myself,” he replied easily, “you trust me for that.” And McGaw, having delivered his warning, took the hint and went to his cabin for the night. Next morning early all was astir in the camp. The horses were led out of the barn and curried, and the huge logging chains were brought out ready for use. Hop Lee perspired freely as he prepared breakfast for the thirty men that comprised the whole population of Buckeye camp. When it was ready, the men filed into the cook-house and seated themselves at the long two-plank table. “Good morning, McGaw,” said Ashton, as he took his seat opposite him. “What is this I hear about some one stealing our logs at the South Fork?” “Well, I don’t know much about it, sir, but its been done afore this, and I reckon can be done again,” answered McGaw between huge mouthfuls of bacon and potatoes. Ashton was silent for a time, when he said, “Guess I’ll take a run up there this afternoon 215 and see what I can find out.” He did not notice Lanky Red leaning attentively toward him from the other end of the table. South Fork, better known as the Sink Hole, because of the large whirlpool in the river at that point, was about a mile from camp by way of an old trail now seldom used. Breakfast over, the men scattered for the work of the day, all except the cook, Hop Lee, and Lanky Red, who seemed to have taken sick during breakfast and had gone to his bunk immediately afterward. It was a beautiful day, and it seemed to Ashton that the woods had never been more pleasant as he started up the trial to the South Fork after dinner. Hop Lee, frying pan in hand, stood in the door of the cook-house and watched his hero depart. As he reached a bend in the trial Ashton turned and waved his hand to the little cook, who for joy at being noticed, waved his pan, and yelled something in his own tongue. For a few minutes he stood still in the doorway, looking down the trial. As he turned to go back to the cook¬ ing he took one last look, then dropped the pan and stood motionless. Across the clearing glided a gaunt, red-shirted figure. At the trail it stopped for a moment, then, after a stealthy look around, it disappeared down the trail in the direction that Ashton had taken. Hop Lee was small in stature, but quick of thought. He grabbed his most pointed carv¬ ing knife and made for the trial. “Me helpee now, maybe,” he thought to himself as he sped forward. Soon he caught sight of Lanky Red. He could not see Ashton, but could tell that he was close ahead by the actions of Lanky Red, who was stalking the boss as a panther does its prey; now stepping quickly forward, now hiding behind some bush or tree. On went the three: the first easy, confident; the second stealthy, sneaking, with malignant passion stamped upon his face; the third quiet, sinuous, with a noble light gleaming in his little almon-shaped eyes. Gradually they drew closer together, each man unconscious of the man behind. Suddenly Lanky Red raised his arm and threw a heavy coupling hook. There was a dull thud and the sound of something falling. He dashed forward, drawing a huge knife as he did so. So intent was he on his prostrate victim that he did not hear a patter of feet behind him until too late. He turned suddenly, only to receive the cook’s knife to the hilt in his brest. He struck out savagely, and his huge blade sank deeply into the little cook. They fell together, and all was quiet for a time. A squirrel ventured part way down a tree to get a nearer view. A frog croaked dismally from a nearby swamp. After a while Ashton stirred, then slowly raised himself. He gazed dumbly at Lanky Red and the cook who lay stretched on the path by his side. His head throbbed: he felt sick and dizzy. Lanky Red was dead, but Hop Lee’s heart still beat faintly. Taking him in his arms, he walked rapidly toward the camp. When about half the distance was covered, the little fellow opened his eyes. “You helpee me, me helpee you,’’ he said with a dreamy flitting smile. Then his eyes closed. Hop Lee’s soul had fled. There was no preacher at Buckeye camp, but no funeral sermon could have been more eloquent or fitting than the boss’s reading of those simple words, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Reginald T. Pamment. 216 The Game of Life This life is like a g ame of cards Which mortals have to learn. Each shuffles, cuts, and deals the pack And each a trump doth turn. Some bring a high card to the top, And some will bring a low. Some hold a hand quite full of trumps. And some but few can show. In playing, some throw out their trumps Their winning cards to save, Some play the king, some play the deuce, But many play the knave; Some play for money, some for love. And some for worldy fame But not until the hands’ played out Can they count up their game. When clubs are trumps, look out for war On ocean or on land, For awful deeds of blood are done When clubs are held in hand. Then lives are staked instead of gold, The dogs of war are freed. And sad it is for any land When clubs once hold the lead. Last game of all is when the spade, Is turned by’ hand of time, He waits for the end of the player’s game In every age and clime. No matter how much each one wins. Or how much each may save. The spade will finish up the game And dig the player’s grave. — W. L. CHARLES. 217 Disdain “Can you come over on Saturday and sweep the house for me? I asked the very affable Japanese student, Sugiyama. He smiled pleasantly, and after a moment’s hesitation in search of English diction, he assured me, “I not care very much to work; school is too busy.” Naturally I voiced my dismay. By way of explaining his dislike for manual labor, he continued— “I work—a—las’ summer. A Mr. say he desire boy to disconnect fruit from trees. I seek the Mr. of the peach-trees and announce I desire to separate them peaches from trees. “I not desire and Japs!’’ he shout, and vanish with the house. Sugiyama’s tone had grown scornful. “My enrage expand enormous,’’ he went on, “but throught of friends and of God Spirit came to me and milded my madness and couraged my weakness. I turned and left the Beast!’’ Mrs. A. Berglund “Studying! Call Tomorrow! This was the business like placard, fairly reeking with virtuous intention that appeared on the door of suite No.. ., and gave a scholarly air to that end of the hall. Within, the girls had a mental picture of the reverence with which intended visitors, filled with admiration for so noble a purpose, would turn away from the door and become in¬ spired with similar ideals. As the evening advanced, many passing the door could be heard to pause with the audible result of a choking soul attributed, by the reformers, to qualms of conscience. And altho this self same suite was very often the scene of much hilarity, the girls could not appreciate the joke when they finally discovered that their righteous attempt had been ridiculed by the substitution of a sarcastic poster which read: Welcome! Come One, Come All! Exhibition of Study Hours and How WE Spend them! Just inside! Edna Kelly, 09. 218 The Lad Second Prize Half-hidden in willows and thorntrees, the little pool lay resting, while only a few paces away, the old river, under the hot mid-summer sun, was shrinking away from its hot banking into a long, thin line down its pebbly bed. Between the two strayed the idle, grassy high-way. Here in the cool greenness and shadows, one might well lay aside his worries, and enjoy his inner fancies, as the snake when the summer is grown old, shuffles off his dusty coat, and creeps on brighter-hued among the grass. But only Lad, the village Lad, the only boy in the little cluster of houses beyond, heeded the gentle welcome of that lonely pool. Perhaps he was lonely, too. At any rate, he slid down luxuriantly into the high, wind-twisted grass on the pool-bank, that not July afternoon, and looked eagerly over the water. Nothing stirred beneath his sight. He drew out a long string from his pocket, affixed a pin, carefully bent, and after fastening it to a willow branch which he had brought with him, he threw it gently far out into the shimmering surface. Then settling his little, tired, overalled body back into the tangled grass, and looking around him furtively, h e poured out his whole soul in a relieved but solemn, “O Gee!” He wriggled his bare toes in the cool, moist earth at the water’s edge, and smiled peacefully, ‘‘O Gee!” he said again, lingering lovingly over the profane syllables, and then was still. Suddenly with much difficulty he tugged a somewhat clean, white cloth from his hip- pocket, and mopped off his face, talking ecstatically to himself, “Just suppose now some lady should come along here, and hear me say “O Gee!”—out big and strong like that, “O Gee!”—what would she think?” He chuckled for a moment, and then looked restlessly toward the hills, covered with velvet green for the most part, with here and there a stretch of summer-fallow. “I wonder,” mused the Lad half-aloud, ”1 wonder where Bill’s workin’? He just swears like a trooper. I heard Mrs. Brown say so, when I took her sewing home. I wonder where he is, O Gee!” “O Gee!” he sighed again, looking wistfully across the great houseless expanse, and then back into the gleaming depths at his feet. His thoughts turned. “I don’t see why they don’t come out and let me see ’em, anyway, if they won’t play with me. I believe in ’em. I believe in fairies and waterbabies, an I wouldn’t tell—or—, maybe, chimney-sweeps like Tom suit ’em better, though. I s’pose that’s it. Maybe,—No I ’member! Mother said plain. O’ they ’zist for people that believe in ’em, I guess’, an’ I says, “When you don’t believe in ’em, do they die?” An’ she says, kind—a tired like, “I guess so, son; now go and play.” An I believe in ’em.” Suddenly, like a breath from the willows, a breeze rippled the water, and there was a gurgling, like a smothered taugh. 219 The lad looked, and there in the shadows gleamed a bit of gold, two merry blue eyes, and a roguish little face with puffed cheeks,—disappearing under the gently, sway¬ ing pool. Lad’s heart leaped joyously, chokingly. And ever after that his play hours found him there, a solitary figure in a lonely spot, watching always for the water-spirite. Occasionally, the tiny lake was stirred on a quiet day, but he could never catch another glimpse of that bright, little face. The old doctor, behind his slow, gray horse, going from one hamlet to the other, got used to seeing the Lad on the bank. “Hello,” he shouted one day, “That’s a fine place for microbes!” The Lad’s puzzled look gradually changed to a glad gratefulness, “I know it,” he answered eagerly, “That s what I’m watching for!” II. Summer faded into autumn, and the sun, less dazzling in its smoky haze, each day made a shorter journey. The thorns on the bank of the pool, glowed with a thousand colors, and dry, curled leaves floated like fairies’ boats on the water. The fall winds came blowing down the road with the little whirls o fdust, and flapped the Lad’s overalls about his thin legs,—thinner now than ever—as he trudged up the road to his “fishin’ hole.” Hardly had he sat down and mopped off his flushed, hot face with his handkerchief, when a feeling of weariness and helplessness came over him. He was too tired to say O Gee! anymore, and he lay back idle and aching on the crackling grass. “Ho, there! boy, there’s no fish in that stagnant pool, is there?” shouted a man’s voice from the road. “No sir,” replied the Lad in a startled tone, as he turned to see a stranger. “You must be fishing for a water-baby, then,” the man said jokingly, and then mis¬ understanding the Lad’s eager smile, added, “But of course, you’ve too big a boy to believe any such nonsense as that, aren’t you?” “Yes sir,”—the tired voice came from a shamed, boyish heart. The stranger passed on, “Queer-looking little chap,” he said to himself. The boy lay still for a long time, on the dead grass, and gazed toward the water where, swaying gently, it lapped the moss on its edges. There, as he looked, with her golden hair spread out on the moss, and only the still white face out of the water, lay his roguish little playmate. Horror seized him. “I killed her,” he half-screemed in his despair, “But I did believe, I did!” III. “It’s the Lad,” said the old doctor gently, as he stepped inside the door of the shabby little house, in the dim twilight, and met the widow’s startled eyes. “He is very feverish. 220 I found him by that old pond out west of town, talking deliriously to himself, and crying. “Poor Lad,” he said “he needs,” and then changing his tone, like the real, old gentleman that he was, he continued: “Madam, I need this boy. I have a little rascal myself up in the mountains with his old hunter uncle, and he needs just such a boy as Laddie here to influence him. It will be a great favor to me if you will lend me the Lad for awhile. It will help him, too. He will grow well and strong up there in the foothills, with a boy companion—fishing, hunting, and wrestling. Let him come! He may net come back to you as quiet and as good as he is now, but he will be a boy—a real, live boy.” Laddie stirred restlessly in the doctor’s strong arms. “O Gee!” he murmured. Then, quick as a thought, a spasm of pain twitched his flushed face, and he sobbed chok¬ ingly, “But I did believe in ’em! I did—believe!” Joe Belle McKenzie. 221 A Sunset Harmony About three o’clock in the afternoon the clouds along a wide stretch of ocean meet¬ ing sky turned silver-bright, and the brightness spread over all the firmament. High up above the water was a circle of intenser light, the center of the radiation over the heavens, but the sun itself seemed to be far back of this great silver dome, shining through and hidden by its own light. Out across the waters, far as the eye could reach—and it seemed very, very far—there was the same silver-toned brightness. Nowhere a hint of color, a faintest tint to mar the tranquil, placid purity of that sea-and-sky-embracing rediance. The sun moved slowly lower and lower, but the water still rolled in silver harmony with the sky. It seemed the slightest change could not occur without a discord in the scene. Even the atmosphere was cleared and refined with a soft illumination. But after a while the clouds between the sun and the sea, took on, faintly at first and then more confidently, softly-blended edges of gold. And when they beheld the added beauty in their sister’s raiment, the timid little clouds farther up in the sky and away from the sun snatched for the gold and caught little fringes. The waves below worked out their flattering imitations in a series of beautiful changes which mingled gold and fire with the silver. The sun grew warmer and streamed and bubbled forth the precious gold until the miracle was complete and it had supplanted the silver in surpassing splendor. When the next miracle began, a rosy glow stole softly through the yellow gold and lit up the edges of a few hueless gray clouds that had crept in near the sky-line. And gradually, over all the sky the mellow golden tones were varied and intensified and warmed with fire. The rosy light brightened and vibrated and lost itself in part, to die into the yellow, and shine again in gorgeous orange hues. And again the yellow called for its sister-color, and violet came in a delicate scale of graduated tints and shades. The whole sky was still pulsating with warmth and color, but the resplendence was concentrated in the sunset path, which became a dazzling glory of color, a picture in a high and daring key; yet is was of the most exquisite and subtly wrought harmonies. The sun, exulting in his wondrous work, slipped from behind a mass of gold and hung, a great ball of red- copper fire at the water’s edge, ready to depart, but first shedding forth a final burst of flame. And just before he disappeared, a veil of fleecy gray clouds floated far out across the water as if offering to man’s eyes a merciful protection from a too-great heavenly effulgence. The sunset had lasted six hours when the last of the lavish wealth had been recalled and the faint blush and warmth faded and left only a pale halo of dying light at the meet¬ ing of the night-black ocean and sky.

H’ist yer bones, ye contrary brute!” The words were strong enough, but they were uttered with a soft drawl that made them only mildly persuasive, and so the depected horse evidently interpreted them. He moved slowly, jerking and straining his rusty rope-patched harness, while an occassional groan came from the back of the wagon. The horse was pulling a rickety canvas-covered wagon to a new home. As Jim had been traveling for several days, Mr. Simpson’s voice had been a very poor incentive for an increase of speed. “Ain’t we never goin’ to git there?” said Kate pushing back her faded bonnet with a faint sigh. “It’s a pity that Maw should be took with one of her spells jest when there was so much need of her not being took.” But needs and happenings had never had any relation with each other in the Simpson family. The girl came forward silently and took the lines from her father’s hands. “Get out, Jim,” she said decisively. It was the voice in the household that had any impelling force. The long, gaunt horse recognized it and quickened his pace. “It’s jist our luck!” said Mr. Simpson, “some folks kin git ahead, but we al’ays have had luck. When we lived in Injiana the crops wouldn’t grow cause it was too cold fer the corn and too hot for every blamed thing else. We did’nt git nothin’ but chills and fever in Missouri; an’ in Kansas what the blarsted grasshoppers did’nt eat the tarnal wind blew up. An’ here we are trying to push into something new. Yer, Maw’s took a spell, an’ the old hoss is no good, an’ we’re most the tail-eend of the percession. We’re al’ays at the tail end.” Kate paid no attention, but was busy urging forward. The battered and patched cover of the old wagon was stained with days of travel and grimy with sand and dust; and the dress of the occupants bore equal mark of the journey. The hands of the young girl who grasped the reins, were rough and brown with toil and exposure, and the face from which the hair was drawn plainly back with the sole idea of getting it out of the way, was burned and freckled by the wind and sun. Mr. Simpson, although he was sure “we won’t git nothin’,” remarked, with a mingl¬ ing of regret and admiration, that “When Kat’s sot out to do a thing ye might as well give een.” The other person worthy of mention, besides Kate, was a small tow-colored one now pushing out from the canvas curtains. The long interval between Kate and the three-year- old was marked by half a dozen graves through Indiana, Missouri, and Kansas. The young fellow showed no inclination of succumbing to circumstance, by the manner in which he was yelling for something to eat. “Git Thomas Jefferson a piece. Paw,” directed Kate above the creaking of the wagon. Mr. Simpson’s doleful forecast that “nobody has left nothing” seemed to be true, as the only room they could find was far on the outskirts of the desirable land. Here they halted and pitched their tent and arranged their meager supplies. 223 Mrs. Simpson was still complaining, but she was her usual self, for as she perhaps would have said it, “injoyin’ poor health.” This she seemed to ‘‘enjoy” more than any¬ thing else. Mr. Simpson’s spasm of ambition had simmered down, and the lions he discovered in the way were many; if he had had his way, they would have never reached the goal. Now as he doubtfully looked around he was sure it would be “jumped” before they could get the papers. It was Kate, not the head of the family, who was found the next day in the long line of humanity. Many of these were to be disappointed, for the ones who came first were first served, and so the long line had been held by many who had stood all night. It was a strange crowd of people—men and women, young and old, actual settlers, keen speculators, gamblers, professional men, school ma’ams, and saloon keepers all eager for a place to ply their trade. The present object to all was to get on the record as soon as possible. To drop out for either food or rest meant to lose one’s place in the line, and be obliged to take a position at the end of the file. Some hired substitutes and relieved the weary strain. ' Many purchased food at exorbitant prices from the venders who went up and down the line. The advance was so slow that there was time for many odd acquaintances to spring up. A man with white hair and a haggard and worn expression attracted Kat’s attention. He was an old man, but as he turned, his sunken eyes betrayed the same fierce fever that possessed the others. One rough fellow bawld out, “What’s that fellow want with enny land? He’d better git ready to hand in his checks.” The man gave utterance to no sign or movement of having heard, as Kate pushed up to him. Others along the line voiced the same sentiment against him. It was two o’clock before a flopping felt hat came towards Kate with her meal carried in a bundle in his hands. “Oh ye’r so late. Paw, what’s the matter?” “Ye’r just like yer maw, ye’ pear not to re’lize how many things a man has to do. Anaway, I don’t reckon ’twill do enny good stayin’ here. Two fellows claimed it was there’n this morning, and they meant to have it.” “They Jiain’t took it,” said Kate with compressed lips. Her father strolled back “agreein’ to take care of it and “Maw” and the “kid.” The girl touched the man’s arm and said, “Wont you have a bite? I’ve got more’n I want, an, it’s hard standin’ so long without nothin.” He accepted her hospitality. Evidently he needed it, and Kate’s manner appeared to touch and please him. “Much obliged; reckon I look as if I need tendin’ after,” he replied. “I hain’t nobody here but myself—nobody nowheres,—but I’ve always been in fer everything that’s goin.” It looks like my last strike . If ever I git to that thar office it’s a fine piece of land I’ve got staked out.” Kate would soon get her place before the land office window. Her father came to her late in the evening wearing a troubled expression. “Kate, I thought I’d better come an’ tell ye that Thomas Jefferson he’s, kinder got lost.” “Oh Paw!” Kate’s face paled alarm and rebuke. 224 “A man can’t tend to a young one and everything else,” he replied. Paw, I must go and look for him,” she said, ”an ye’ll have to hold my place till I git back.” Kate went in seach of the young fellow and finally found him in one of the many tents, but when she went to relieve her father in the long string of humanity he was not to be found. “Do you know where Paw went?” asked the girl of the old man. “No, sis, I don’t, tried to git him to stay, but he wouldn’t.” At that moment the father appeared shame-faced before her searching eyes. “I couldn’t stand thar when I knew the prop of my old age was lost. Anaway, I didn’t care nothin’ ’bout the land if somethin’ had happened to him.” Since words were useless, and there was nothing to do but start on the end of the line again, Kate went home to rest a few hours. The throng swayed back a little when an old man fainted as he secured his papers. There was a call for a physician, and the line rippling excitement was hushed for an instant. Kate saw the men bearing a burden away to a tent, as her father appeared. “Kate, he wants you! His heart is kinder give out, and the doctor sa ys “twont run much longer, an’ he asked fer you. I offered to stay but-!! Kate did not wait for suppositions but hurried away to the man’s side. He looked up with a smile at her, although his face bore a deadly pallor. “I’m goin, to a newer country yet, sis, an’ I dunno how I’ll face filin’ any claim up yonder, but I’m hopin’—hopin’—The words were conrng hard. “Here, take these, they’re yourn. It’s a nice batch of land you have, an’ if you don’t want to sell there’s ’nough for the payments. I only want a peaceful place to sleep on it, an’ don’t you think you could get some one to sing and pray for me?” “Oh yes, I will,” promised Kate, with a chocking voice. His eyes closed in quite content. “Well, ’taint so bad,—goin’ to have a ’spectable funeral, as the boys would say, an’ I’m leavin’ an heiress too.” The next day the service was held as the old man had directed. It was a motley crowd that gathered, and many a hardened face softened as the songs and the words of the minister brought back many tender memories. As Kate sat in the tent that evening watching the sun go down on a world that had become suddenly prosperous she said softly, “It’s a beautiful world!” Geo. Watt, ’ll. When Are You Coming Home? Dear! My dear! When are you coming home?— Back where the firelight glimmers On the things that are your own. And the kettle sings and simmers With water hot for tea, And the chair is, oh! so empty Across the board from me? Come up the winding footpath Your eager feet once knew. Back to your lonely, lonely bride That is keeping things for you, Dear! My dear! When are you coming home? Dear! my dear! When are you coming home? Back from the valley where you lie To the things that are your own? The ashes in the fireplace. With a breath could be blown away; The flowers we tended, the porch where we loved. Are fallen into decay; And the woman that’s waiting and waiting Is withered and bent and gray. When are you coming home? Dear! My dear! When are you coming home? Zoe Belle McKenzie. 226 “ Contentiousness ” Marjorie and Homer were sitting in the hammock at the corner of the porch. They had tried to play in the tent, but Majorie said it made her “sickly ’ because of the “hot¬ ness.” They thought of working on the irrigation ditch they had begun yesterday in the garden, but Homer had to keep his shirtwaist clean. Indoors with the grown-ups, they felt instinctively, was not to be considered in their present mood. They did not prepose to be angelic,—in fact, they knew that they were going to spend the morning quarreling. Though tired of each other’s society, they would not endure separation, and so they had repaired to the hammock to disagree. Perhaps it was not the first time a hammock had been the scene of a bitter-sweet contention. They had tried “taking turns,” but this began in a dispute over who should go first, and ended in recriminations over “jiggling” and unfair counting. Then they had settled down as comfortably as they could in their efforts at discom¬ forting each other. Carrying the hammock with them, they stood up and stepped back as far as it would stretch and, holding on the front edge, braced their scuffers against the worn ground. “One, two, three,—go!” said Homer and let his feet fly up, almost up¬ setting his partner, although she met the jar with stiff knees and tense arms. “You never wait until the right time,” she snapped. “And you never get ready,” he returned. Then they tried again and this time Marjorie’s legs flew into the air and Homer’s dragged back¬ wards. They recognized the inevitable and sat still concentrating on their differences of opinion. For perhaps a minute the children conversed in rather subdued tones but the sentences were ominously short and quick and marked by a portentous final inflection. Then a question with a sharp initial emphasis was thrown explosively in at the kitchen door,— “Do children ever have whooping-cough three times?” An I-told-you-so warmth crept into the conversation and was met by a “don’t-care” coldness. Another minute and another appeal,—“Haven’t I had chicken-pox?” A short snappiness alternated with an argumentative drawl for an interval and the rhythm of the initial emphasis recurred, “Don’t hogs go huh?” The voices grew more petulant and strained as the regular succession of questions continued to measure off the conversation,—“Haven’t I struck a splinter in my toe this summer?”—“Isn’t the universe bigger than the world?”—“Aren’t there other worlds besides this one?” The Scotch collie nosed up and innocently supplied a fresh topic. “Isn’t William the right name for Billy?” The dog pushed his head between them and was patted on one side to the accompaniment of “Billy, Billy, good old fellow!” and on the other to “Nice William! nice William!” Billy—William lay down in front of them and they dug their feet into his shaggy, dusty coat and began talking again to each other. One part of the dialogue grew mockingly sweet, the other emphatically indignant.—“Isn’t Homer an animal?” with maddening superiority. But, without waiting for the answer, the young man arose with dignity and said, “Come on, Billy. We’re going home.” When they were half-way between the two houses, the young lady called tantalizingly, “All right! But let’s just see who will be the first to want to make up, Mr. Homer.” Rose Mozee Beattie. 227 The Little Lass with a Song Like as a bird that sings his lay With heart filled full of heaven-delight. She sang her joy on morning way, And trilled her praise again at night. Pale faces flushed to see her pass— That merry, singing, little lass! Great mother hearts were less care-filled To see her light feet trip along; Contentious homes were often stilled With loving fragments of a song; And lads in secret watched her pass— That merry, singing, little lass! As she came tripping up the lane. An old man, weary with full years,— Oft watched her,—leaning on her cane, “May all life’s sorrows from thee pass, Thou merry, singing, little lass!” One night she died; and many wept; And one did ask about her soul. And old man leaned upon his cane,— “It is not fit that bells should toll Because to greater joy did pass A merry, singing, little lass! “She filled the air with joyous song, And often cheered my lonely wait. Think you a face could be so glad, That knew no key to heaven’s gate? The angels wait to see her pass— That merry, singing, little lass!’ Zoe Belle McKenzie. 228 A Room “For Rent” It was a small, pretty room that the girls had decided to occupy for the winter,— with its polished floor only partly concealed by rugs; its walls tinted in warm red tones; and, the soft blending of rich colors in the Persian window hangings. Furniture there was, of course; not too much nor too large for the apartment. A sanitary couch over which was thrown a Persian cover; a long mirror on one wall; a polished table, and close by, a diminutive book-case; a stove, small and unassuming and crowded into an incon¬ spicuous corner; one or two carefully chosen pictures on the walls; and suspended from the center of the ceiling an electric light chandelier, whose rods, gracefully curving and twisting, supported the globes of light; these, with two or three chairs, completed its furnishings. The Room Individualized by its Girl Occupants The two girls, just out of college the previous winter, and now teaching in the town schools, were delighted with the possibilities of this apartment; and proceeded to make it habitable after their own peculiar fashion. First, the electric globes on the chandelier were shaded with red, flower-like disks, so that the whole color-scheme of walls, hangings, rugs and light was a harmony in warmth of tone. Then the graceful brass rods were carefully swung about until their writhing arms poised the globes in the position best calculated to cast every possible ray of rosy light upon the long mirror at one side of the room. A chafing-dish occupied the lower part of the table and silver-mounted toilet articles reposed smilingly upon its polished top. The Persian couch-cover was almost hidden by soft cushions; and suspended by its handle from the ceiling above, hung a Japanese parasol, open and with every white-tipped rib laden with fluttering programs of balls and card-parties. College pennants there were, numbers of them; and some late fiction on the small book-shelves. But back in a secluded corner, dust-covered and almost concealed, were a few forgotten teachers’ test-books. The Room Changes Hands; Next Individualized by College Boys The next occupants of the room were a couple of college boys; and this adaptable abode soon took on a very different appearance. College pennants there were still, equally numerous and varied; sofa pillows, too on the couch, but of a less artistic and more scholastic type. The soft-toned Persian couch-cover had been replaced by a brilliant 229 Navajo blanket and an Indian mat of woven, multi-colored straw covered the wall at one end of the couch. A pair of antlers had succeeded the artistic Japanese parasol, and each many-branched horn was loaded with a grotesque assortment of boxing-gloves, base¬ ball gloves, hats, caps and sombreros. Fish-nets filled with photographs were swung across the red walls, and heavy iron dumb-bells contended with a quitar for occupancy of a corner. Neither chafing-dish nor silver-mounted toilet articles were there on the table; but pipes and tobacco and matches. The solace of a good cigar had proved more attractive than the consolation of chafing-dish fudge. No longer were softly shaded chandelier lights- trained to fall on the mirror. Instead an enormous globe swung in dazzling brilliance just over the head of the couch, where a tired boy might like to read. A Visit From the Former Occupants Came the girls one day, unespectedly, and begged leave just to look at their former dwelling-place. Gallantly the boys gave permission, proud in the knowledge that they had added touch after touch of masculinity and comfort. The girls glanced about curiously; shuddered a little at the smoking apparatus displayed; struggled half-laughing, to lift the heavy dumb-bells; disapproved of the light as a brilliant, not good for the mirror; thought the general effect of the apartment not so pretty as they had attained; then paused before the photograph-laden nets, interested, amused, and finally pacified. In the central and most noticeable spot among the whole collection of portraits, were their own faces smiling back at them. —Edna Glass Berglund, ’09. 230 231 _ 232 The Junior Promenade “Pleasant it was, when woods were green. And winds were soft and low. To lie amid some sylvan scene. Where, the long sloping boughs between, Shadows dark and sunlight sheen Alternate come and go. Surely the Juniors have caught the spirit of the poet in the arrangements for their Promenade and in verity ushered their guests into “The Land of Song. The magnif- icient task of converting the harsh, unrelenting lines of the gymnasium walls into the soft graceful bowers of a woodland glen was so artfully concealed in the very simplicity of the scheme that a sense of restfullness pervaded everything. Seldom is it that in after years we may turn back the hands of Time until they point not into the grey Future but toward the sunny Past. Yet none could enter this enchanted spot without feeling the, “Dreams that the soul of youth enage Ere fancy has been quelled; Old legends of the monkish page. Traditions of the saint and sage. Tales that have the rime of age, And chronicles of eld.” And so when crept into the air, “A slumberous sound,—a sound that brings the feelings of a dream,” the whole company, with one accord, began in long array to thread the song—enchanted sylvan isles. Grave monks and nuns begowned in black headed the wanderings band while close upon them followed up a stately company of novices whose dress, though mostly black bore still a snowy front, and after these a motly crew of knights and squires. And yet the greatest charm of all, before which even the beauteous saints and faries of childhood memories were dimed, was the living presence of the fair forms which flittered from bower to bower and “Blushed at the praise of their own loveliness.” Then for a few sweet hours the charm of music held its sway while “Eyes looked love to eyes which spake again And all went merry as a wedding bell.” 233 KL AT AW AC PICNIC E, the members of the class of 1908, since the time has nearly arrived when we ean cut classes no more, do hereby solemnly declare, in accord¬ ance with all due justice and right, that from this time henceforward the last Wednesday in the month of May shall be declared a legal holiday for the Seniors of Washington State College. —Ctass of 1908 V s rrfor ' 5 uby c. T 234 The President’s Reception On Wednesday evening, June 17th, 1908, President and Mrs. Bryan assisted by Governor and Mrs. Mead, Representative W. L. Jones, and Justice and Mrs. Crow, the Board of Regents and others, received the members of the class of 1908, students and friends in the reception rooms of Stevens’ Hall, which had been decorated in a most tasteful manner with cut flowers and potted plants. After all had spent a most delightful hour in renewing acquaintances and in saying “good by” to President and Mrs. Bryan and Governor and Mrs. Mead, many gathered at the Armory where the Orchestra was playing. The grand march was lead by Governor Mead and Mrs. Crow and to one who watched from the balcony there seemed something so different from the other gatherings of the kind, something so simple and quiet, yet beautiful, about it all that it was almost sublime. Soon the merry voices and light steps changed it all and the time until almost twelve was spent in dancing. But when the strains of that old familiar tune “Home, Sweet Home” began, it brought again the feeling of quiet and peace that one has after the sadness of parting has passed and it gave one strength to go on in life to meet its tasks with a braver heart. 235 Receptions Oct. 2.

C. has a more brilliant affair been given than the Military Ball at the Armary on Monday evening, February, 22. The Armory was magnificently decorated. Each company of the Regiment, the Band, Signal Corps, Hospital Corps and Bugle Corps has been given a section of the Balcony and the result was a succession of cozy corners, secluded retreats, tapestried corridors displays of penants, pictures and curios, while overhead and part way down in front were hung bright streamers. The hospital section was different from the rest consisting of a corner arranged like a hospital tent and containing two cots upon one of which reclined a skeleton of a soldier killed in battle. The lower walls were covered with evergreens, and tents were pitched along the wall at frequent intervals with a large tent in the rear with the colors flying over it, giving the appearance of encampment ground. In one corner was a typical encampment kitchen from which “mess” was served in the form of punch to the thirsty soldiers. Upon the high wall at the west end of the armory an immense seal of the W. S. C. had been formed which covered the entire wall, and which was brightened by a circle of lights. The whole thing was covered by a roof of the stars and strips in the shape of a huge flag which hung on waves the whole length of the Armory. Above the flag were a number of lights which shining down through old Glory cast a beautiful glow over the brilliant scene. The Military Band of 40 pieces gave a stirring concert of national airs before the festivities of the evening begun. As a preliminary to the grand march, revelie was blown and soldiers in gray sprang out of each tent around the wall and when they assembled, “mess” was sounded and a realistic rush to the kitchen followed. The assembly was then blown and to inspiring strains of the great Tanhauser March the grand march begun. Captain and Mrs. Mitchell led, followed by Lieut, and Mrs. Andrew Smith of Moscow, Pres, and Mrs. Bryan, Prof, and Mrs. Cleveland, the Idaho Officers, W. S. C. officers W. S. C. enlisted men and finally the civilians. Immediately following the march the band played the Bleve Valse and were then dismissed , being succeeded by an orchestra arranged around a fire place in the band section of the balcony. During the evening there were two military specials for men in uniform only. During one of these lights were turned out and a searchlight from above was played down through the flag, upon the heads of the dancers, making an especially beautiful picture. When “Home Sweet Home,” was played a flash light picture was taken of the armory and the dancers. Taps were sounded at 12:50 o’clock and at I o’clock the dancing ended. 24 !

Although of an over-talkative nature, apparel suited, to thy insignificant stations, thou shall not wear; congregating In uproarious and vulgar mobs is not within thy jurisdiction; appearance on the campus in blankets and head dress Is prohibited; thou const wear such neat yet simple garb as dost befit thy lowly station. Be it further ordained and decreed, that Id Im¬ press upon thy bewildered minds that the ‘II class is not the physical, social or Intellectual equal of the‘12 class, we hereby challenge you to a feat of arms, namely, a tug-of-war across the shining waters ol Lake de Puddle, that historic basin in whose stag¬ nant waters thy bath may be accomplished; thy worthless carcasses will we drag e ' en through the very quagmire until ye know and admit (hy un- wofthlness. If ye have any semblance of humans ye will dis¬ patch thy unworthy leader to meet with our re¬ nowned chief, that suitable arrangements may be made for the contest FRESHIES Read, Masticate, Comprehend and Obey To command (he respect due to the Hon. class ol 1909 and also the mem¬ orable class ol 1910, We. the class ol 1911, (be nature! guardians of (be young and trrespoatible children ol the W.

Be it known to all and thoroughly understood that lor any violation ol the foregoing rales the-aforesaid milk sippirg pinheads will without further warning be immediately immersed into the slimy depths of Lake dc Puddle or io any convenient hole which will not be damaged by the polluted presence of the sforesaid Pinheads.

Mar. 31—The Editor comes out with his annual receipt book. 276 277 The Editor of the Chinook disclaims any responsibility for whatever appears in this department. The Humorist and his cartoonists are responsible. The Humorist disclaims any responsibility for whatever appears in this department. The Editor and cartoonist are responsible The cartoonists wish to deny any responsibility for whatever may appear in this department. The Editor and Humorist are alone responsible. This edition of the Chinook is the result of hard and consistent effort on the part of the staff in charge. In many respects it will not meet the approval of all. In some respects it will. If anyone feels “stung” come to headquarters and we will turn you over to the Chinook for 191 1. If anyone feels “neglected” a similar remedy will suffice. We are not offering and apologies for this edition. In some particulars it is not representative. This we regret, but we have earnestly endeavored to make it representative. Where faculty members and students have been selfishly indifferent to repeated solicita¬ tions to present themselves to the official photographers, the book will bear testimony. As to whether these things are due to strenuosity of life or lack of college and class spirit we cannot say. One thing we can and do say is this. If W. S. C. has any undesirable “citizens” they fall among the class devoid of college spirit. We have been compelled to rely upon others than staff members for much information. Because of this, some minor matters have been overlooked in cases where such persons failed to come “through.” One condition of affairs is totally wrong. Each organization in the College should take personal interest in it’s representation in the Chinook and this is far from being the case. On the other hand it has been necessary to hunt down and corner various officials in order to secure information or give space to their societies and interests of whatever nature. There is a tendency on the part of upper classmen or students having attended the College previously, to decline to purchase Chinook receipts until the last day of sales. Such a course only retards and annoys the management and does not profit the man who so faithfully punishes the bird. The co-operation of the nucleus of “boosters” and “pushers” in the College has been of great material assistance. To all such we wish to say “May your tribe increase.” To all others, “Don’t stand on the side lines and don’t knock; be a booster or don’t be at all. We wish to express our gratitude to all persons who have helped in one way or another and to the following in particular—Miss Elmina White, Miss Charlotte Wilson, C. P. Love, G. G. Laver, Prof. O. L. Waller, Dr. A. E. Egge, Reed Fulton, C. F. Hove. E. L. Ludwick, Miss Pearl Miller, George O. Swales. So far as the staff is concerned the years work has been entirely harmonious. Each member has worked faith¬ fully and efficiently. It would not do for this department to reach a perfect consummation without mentioning a few painful and necessary truths. We don’t admire the taste of those students who are personally so shiftless that they dress like farmers and Mechanics, Sunday’s and all. We regret that there are some persons graduating each year who would never be known either as College men or College women. Professional efficiency is a fine thing, but there are other things and they can’t be bought with money. 278 If you happen to be a member of a Sorority, be careful to form no fast friendship with any giry outside of your Sorority. If you should go to the Library, seek out some Sorority sisters and have a session right there. If, perchance, you should attend Chapel be sure to get with your sisters in a row and thus prove your fraternal ideals to an approving world. The most desirable place for a bunch of little “preps” to hold a tete-a-tete is in the Library. It really does’nt matter how much noise is made or how foolish your glee appears. Go to the Library and gather in a corner and proceed. It does’nt seem necessary to say that others than “Preps” are aware of the social advantages of the Library. One of the beautiful sights on the College Campus is the “Vet” burying grounds east of Ferry Hall. In the Summer distance lends enchantment and the burying ground lends its assistance to the creation of typhoid and vile ordors. How long? How long? We can ' t tell by looking at the past, but we are hopeful for the future. The “Ruling Passions” at W. S. C. are—Get into a Fraternity, no matter what kind, or how, if you have to start one yourself. Knock the Christian Associations. It doesn ’t matter why. Dress like a “rook.” Dance three times a day in Steven’s Hall playroom and at other times, as often as possible. Eat your meals in ten or less minutes at Ferry Hall. Stay away from class meetings as often as possible Knock the Athletic Committee for trying to maintain clean athletics. Knock the War Department and it’s head without knowing any reasons therefore. Walk all over the Campus. Don’t use the Walks or paths. Construct one for your own use. Get “Heart Trouble” and secure a “P. D.” Be a “Grafter.” Knock all students holding positions of responsibility. None of the above remarks can be said to apply to the entire student body. Per¬ haps it is not pleasant to bring up such subjects at all. However, some things are neces¬ sary which are not pleasant and what has been said has been said with the hope that it will benefit rather than discourage. Conditions in our student body are not hopeless nor are they permanently serious. It has been urged that many other things be said that have not been said, but we do not care to pose in the attitude of a knocker. Hence rather than be misunderstood this explanatory note is added. We believe in the college and its ideals, its work and its future. Believing this as we do, it is nevertheless true that no bad condition can be righted unless attention is called to conditions and an effort is made to right them. 279 Economics 3-Law of diminishing returns. Mr. Akers (Elec. 15)—“What is a dyne?” Keyes—“A dyne is that force which will move one cu. m. of water through one degree C.” “Aggie.”—“I am going to shine shoes this summer. “Economics”—“What is your idea in doing that?” “Aggie”—“Because, then father can make hay while the son shines.” Prof. Strong (at band concert)—“One stucUnt was unromatic enough to pronounce the title of this selection as if it spelled S-a-r-a-h-n-e-i-g-h-e-d.” Glacier (lecturing on Junior War)—“Farragut was hindered in his advance be¬ cause of the lack of coal, and also because the river was shallow, that is, the mud was near the top of the water.” Dr. Gaw (Eng. 4)—By inductive reasoning, I can say, “All houses in this town are between 10 ft. and 150 ft. in height.” “Babe” Phipps—“How about the dog-houses?” Senior—“Too bad he was rejected by that girl.” Junior—“He tempted Fate.” Senior—“How is that?” Junior—“Why, he proposed to her with a turn-down collar on.” 280 attaerttsemertts Pullman is a small town and it’s business houses are neither large nor numerous. Because of this fact advertising for both the “Evergreen” and “Chinook” is, locally, limited. These two publications require very considerable patronage in order to exist. Hence it is very desirable for the thoughtful to be considerate and the unthoughtful to become thoughtful and patronize those merchants whose advertisements appear herein. If you lowerclassmen don’t believe this you will, should you ever be called upon to publish a “Chinook.” All upperclassmen know the author speaks forth that which he knows, unless they have slipped quietly through College and evaded every responsibility. This word of warning doesn’t cost us anything and we sincerely trust that we may have helped future Chinook Staffs. When business men are pestered by every person, who is publishing a directory or other temporary medium of advertising, the Chinook and Evergreen suffer because such persons advance their own cause by treading upon the interests of more essential College enterprises. We recommend to your careful attention the following “Ads.” 281 AT ORCHESTRA REHEARSAL Prof. S.— (bringing orchestra to a sudden stop) — “What was that letter we just passed?” First Fiddle—“That was L.“ Prof. S.—“Well, go to L and start over again.” “Have you been vaccinated?” “Yes” “Did it take?” “No, but the doctor did.” New rook—“Look there. What if Prexie sees that fellow cutting across the campus?” Old rook—“Aw go on-that’s Prex hisself.” Grindrod (Eng. 4)—“Behind the Ad. building the walk is sometimes flooded so that one must either swim or get his feet wet.” Leah L.— (removing fly from syrup)—“I have caught a sailor.” “Ever-ready Bobo (remarking)—“That’s the second sailor you have caught recently.” Leah (blushing)—“Yes.” Merrit (at Ophite dance)—“Lund told me that he either could or could’nt get that punch bowl, and it was either full or empty, I don’t know which.” Prep.—“How did Prof. Collet come to be bare-footed on the top of his head?” Freshie—“Oh, that’s easy-he was bawled out in class when he was a student.” Prof. Carp—“What do you know about alternating currents?” Soph.—“Quite a bit. I had some alternating-current pudding at the dorm for dinner to-day.” 282 Clarkson Pearce We Make a Specialty of Fine College Clothes HATS ...

He loved the lucious hic-haec-hock, And bet on games and equi; At times he won; at others, though, He got it in the nequis; He winked (quo usque tandem?) At puellas in the Forum, And sometimes even made Those goo-goo oculorum. “He frequently was seen At combats gladitorial. And ate enough to feed Ten boarders at Memorial; He often went on sprees, And said on starting homus, “Hie labor—opus est.
