His paternal ancestry is English, French and Scotch; his maternal, Ger- man and Scotch. He came of Revolutionary stock on both sides and ux, I his parents and grandparents have taken a prominent part in the 0| development of our country, at all times exhibiting those character- istics of fairness, courage and strong convictions for what is right, so common to many of the noted men who participated in the struggle for inde- pendence and in the building of a great nation. Mr. Smith attended the common schools of his native county. Early in his teens, he successfully passed an examination for a No. 1 teacher ' s certificate and taught school. Later, he entered the West Virginia University Preparatory School at Morgantown where he early distinguished himself as an orator and parliamentarian and was, over a distinguished and worthy senior, now of inter- national fame, elected president of the leading literary society while yet a Prep. He was a member of the joint committee of the literary societies which composed the University ' s first college yell, Rah, Rah, Rhu, W. V, U, Sis, Boom, Bah, Tiger, and selected for her colors old gold and blue. He remained at the University tour years and graduated with the class of 1889.- He then entered the Washington and Lee University Law School at Lexington, Virginia, where he be- came president of the Washington Literary Society and in 1892, he received the degree of LL.B. and was class orator. His college career was mainly marked by indefatigable industry and high scholarship. While at the University of West Vir- ginia, he was called upon many times to uphold the colors of the University in oratorical contests in which he was generally victorious. For Washington and Lee University, as its representative, in 1892, in the Southern Inter-collegiate Oratorical Association contest, at Vanderailt University, Nashville, Tennessee, he won first place for his school and was awarded the Association ' s gold medal. He frequently quotes his favorite professor, that remarkable instructor, teacher, statesman, lawyer, John Randolph (Old Ran) Tucker. For the encouragement of students of inadequate means, it should be stated that Mr. Smith, at the beginning of any school year at the University, never had in sight more than sufficient means to complete that year ' s work and he made his last year at the West Virginia University on one hundred dollars, the proceeds of a horse, the last property left to his parents by the flood of ' 88. To Washing- ton and Lee University at Lexington, Virginia, he traveled as far as Harper ' s Ferry on a cattle train to save expenses and returning from Vanderbilt Uni- versity with the Southern medal of gold set with diamonds and rubies, he was stranded at Staunton without sufficient means to get back to Lexington where the student body and faculty of Washington and Lee, the brass band of V. M. I. and nearly the whole town awaited at the station the arrival of his train to re- ceive their victorious representative. Happily at Staunton, without missing his train, Mr. Smith was loaned transportation by Judge McLaughlin, President of the Board of Visitors of Washington and Lee, who happened to be holding court in Staunton at the time, although he had never seen Mr. Smith before and knew nothing of the reception awaiting him. Isr9i6« Msmiitnlii i In 1892, he was admitted to practice law at Clarksburg, West Virginia, where he has ever since resided. His devotion to the law, singly and unremittingly, not permitting anything to break oft or interfere with the engagement of his life, and his success in equity cases and his efficient management of important jury trials soon made him one of the recognized leaders of the state bar. Intel- lectually, he is of great accuracy and quickness in his mental movements; a most acute reasoner and a master of an exact and perspicuous and oft-times glowing style. He is considered by his associates the most eloquent speaker in the Province. His practice includes nearly every variety of litigation that arises in the state and federal courts. He is known as the people ' s lawyer. From time to time, he has been called upon to act as special judge in the counties of Monongalia, Marion and Harrison, sometimes to ho ' d a special term and sometimes to hold a regular term, in the absence of the regular judge, but has always declined to be a candidate for public office with a single exception and that in the line of his profession. In 1912, .he was nominated for Judge of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia by the Democratic party, after having been unanimously indorsed by the members of a number of the county bars without regard to politics. In recognition of his scholarship, learning and ability, Salem College, in 1912, conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. In 1913, Mr. Smith was elected president of the West Virginia University Alumni Association and in 1914, contrary to his wishes and over his objections, he was re-elected. As president of the Association, he has been actively and untiringly engaged in the organization of University Clubs, until now there is a University Club in nearly every large center of population in the state. He has done more to organize the Alumni and create real University interest, during his term of office, than was done by all of his predecessors. In the interest of the University, he recently appeared before the State Board of Trade and de- livered an address on the Needs of the University which met with state-wide approval. This address was recognized as a masterpiece, not only within the state but beyond its borders, prominent educators from other states having re- quested copies of this address and having commented favorably upon it. He has, at all times, favored a permanent foundation such as a mill tax for the University and, as a result of his efforts, no doubt it will be only a matter of time until the University will be permanently financed by some such means as a separate, con- tinuing mill tax. He has given liberally of his means and time to the support of the University and its interests. He has been untiring in his efforts to secure a greater University, as he says, not the largest, but in all its appointments, the most perfect attainable. He has done more for his alma mater than any other man not officially connected with it and he well deserves the recognition which has come to him.

FRANK BUTLER TROTTER Following the resignation of Dr. Thomas E. Hodges, Dr. Trotter, the Dean of the Arts and Sciences College, was elected by the Board of Regents to serve as Acting-Presi- dent. He is a natural leader of men, and well suited to bear the responsibilities and duties of his office. Under the supervision of Dr. Trotter, the University is making great progress and its whole machinery is riiun ' ng with perfect smoothness. PROFESSOR DAVID DALE JOHNSON When Dr. Trotter became Acling-Presi- dent of the University, the duties of ihf- deanship of the Arts and Sciences College devolved largely upon Professor David Dale .Johnson. Careful of details, methodical and conscientious. Professor Johnson is well fitted to direct and guide the young men and women who come under his charge. I DEAN CLEMENT ROSS JONES Here is a man of the University, for the University and by the University. We can only suggest here all that he means to the College of Engineering and to the whole institution. He holds such a standard of efficiency, that graduates from his depart- ment are in great demand by the best known engineering companies. i9ie =Mxiniit:tfi i DEAN E. DWIGHT SANDERSON Dean Sanderson is a man who has spent much time and effort to make West Virginia University a better institution. To the Col- lege of Agriculture his untiring service and original methods are invaluable. His In- liuence is strongly felt throughout the State ;in)ong those with whom he has come into I ontact either in class work or through the extension department of the University. DEAN HENRY CRAIG JONES Assuming control of the affairs in the Law College last July, Dean Jones has done much to place that department of the Uni- versity among the foremost of its kind in the country. A man of good executive ability, and experienced both in the practice and teaching of law, he has aroused an interest and enthusiasm among the students which is conducive to their personal wel- fare and the future success of the Law College. DEAN JOHN NATHAN SIMPSON Dr. Simpson is well known and loved, not only as a faculty member, but as a real friend of the student body. He is a man of broad influence, and under his supervision I lie Medical School has come to be recogniz- ed as one of the high class schools of the country. 4 IP m ttllCjafiSti i LIEUTENANT RICHARD WETHERILL West Virginia University has at the head of her Military Department a man who pos- sesses all the qualities of a true so ' dier and a gentleman. His striking personality and character command the respect of the en- tire student body. The high grade of effi- ciency attained by the Cadet Corps this year is due in a large lueasure to the efforts of Lieutenant Wetherill. DR. WAITMAN T. BARBE Dr. Barbe is a man of letters, a poet ana scholar, a much beloved instructor, an edu- cator of wide reputation and a speaker of note. On account of his charming person- ality and his sympathetic interpretation of literature, his classes are always a real de- light. Besides being Professor of English, Dr. Barbe is also the Director of the Sum- mer School. DIRECTOR LOUIS BLACK A rare executive ability, an unique per- sonality, an ever ready wit, and a jovial dis- position are some of the qualities which characterize Director Black. In a compara- tively very few years, he has developed the School of Music in all its departments until now its high standard and worth are widely appreciated. 1191$ ' Hx viiitsul z Af ioiz - IEI316 Mtmlittfl i Senior Officers President JOHN PAUL JONES Vice President J. r.

Never was there such a memorahle year. P.esides our advent, there were also the festivities occasioned bv the inauguration of Tommy Hod ;es, when all alumni returned to do honor to their Alma Mater. Then there was also that wonderful defeat of our old rival, Wash- ington and Jefferson. But the weeks were not all festive ones, there were times when there were hostilities waged with the Sophs. ' hile there was no class rush there were man} ' skirmishes throughout the vear. The school year of 1912-13 opened with a series of at- tempts to subdue the verdant Freshman but their denseness withstood all our efforts. Their muscle exceeded their brains. In our Junior year came that delightful Prom, w ' hen the Seniors were our guests. This year passed all too swiftly and now we are staid and dignified Seniors. Xo, not all staid, for we have been active in football, baseball and track. We have representatives in the Christian Associations and in all the activities of school life. So with the feeling that we have been successful in our student days, we go forth with assur- ance to assume the responsibilities of the future. —HISTORIAN. i 1316 Mtfuiittfl !

With the help of the Juniors, the Fresh- man Class was organized, choosing for its presi- dent Oliver Knaj p. It was the largest, the strongest, and the best looking class in tlie Uni ersit}-. Its strength and power were testeil in the class rush. Alas! All the strength of the S(ipli(im(ires was of no avail against the mighty I ' Veshmen. Throughout the year, the class distinguished itself in all school acti ' ities and won the admiration and praise of all. In 191.1. the class became the Sophomores. During this successful year, Luther Griffith was president. ( )nce more the strength of the class was tested and, for the second timt- in the history of the University, the Sophomores won in the class rush. No one could question the superioritv of llie Sophomores. In athletics, as well as in the classroom, tin- class was represented among the leaders. One beautiful May day, the Sophomores took the Seniors to Oak Park for a picnic. They danced, rowed, walked, and enjoyed them- selves on the roller-coaster until time in the evening to leave on the M. K. As Juniors of 1914-15, the class became renowned It elected Red Kersting president, and is editing a Montiinl;! which we hope will be a credit to the University. The plan for the Junior Prom were wonderful. The electrical efl ' ects surprised all and surpassed all expectations. Thus closer the history of the class which has passed three years of its life in A ' est ' irginia University. — IITSTr)R|A.

This Class of 1917 soon proved that it was imjKirtant otherwise than in numbers, and speedilv became an indispensable part of tlie University. Last September the class returned to Mor- arantown, more brilliant and better lookintr than ever, resolved to shoulder the responsibility of teaching tlie Freshies to walk in the way they sh(_)uld go. This course of instructon covered several weeks. Owing to the prowess of the mighty Sophomores, the timid and verdant little members of the Class of ' 18 learned many valuable lessons thu-ing this time. As a climax, to show their magnanimity of spirit, the Sophomores allowed the Freshies to win the annual class rush. After due deliberation, in solemn conclave assembled, Raymond Fidler was chosen president of the class and other officers, et|uallv capal)le of carrying on the ' 17 ' s momentous affairs with the requisite dignity and finesse, were selected. They have filled their offices in a manner which reflects great honor, not only u])on them, Ijut upon the entire class. —HISTORIAN. 1910 1 h I MutttictfiiSLl Eiaie ISiXfnijtti ajffjtiflr-j0[-(igti ■r Jfregfjman J|igtorp X the sixteenth day of September in the year of C)ur Lord one thousand nine hundred fourteen, a wonderful class entered upon its first work toward fame in the West Virginia University. On September the twenty-first, a class meet- ing was held in Conmiencement Hall for the purpose of organizing the class and electing grand dignitaries. After such election, Dr. h ' rank U. Trotter, Acting President of the University, gave an address of welcome to the class and congratulated the mem- bers upon their early organization. Of course the boys were to be the real champions of the class, but they were no more enthusiastic over the future contest than the girls. Class antagonism began between the Sophomores and Freshmen during the second week of school. The first open Ijattle took place in Commencement Hall and ended in an overwhelming defeat for the Sophomores. Nightly encount- ers took place for two or three weeks but without any perma- nent results other than elaborate decorations evident on sidewalks, telephone poles, and athletic field. During the intermission between hahes of the game with Marshall Col- lege the first class rush occurred, but had only such confused result as two mighty rivers have when they rush together and lose themselves in the combined flood. However, on October the tenth, the class rush took place, and it will go down his- torically as a victory for the Freshmen. The class, consisting of two hundred and fifty members, is the largest that has ever entered the University. In all departments of the I ' niversity, this worthy body of students soon manifested and maintained its remarkable ability, both in the classroom and as ])articipants in athletics.

HOWARD 191S IMx uiittfi i I i I3l)lr6 year Caw (Tlass OR thousand and thousands of ages the immortal gods had been pre- paring, waiting and planning for that most eventful of epochs in the annals of the history of the West Virginia University, and then, with a roar, like thunder, heralding their coming, and with a glare of _ light, likened unto the rising sun, blazing their way, they guided the VU I feet of the Class of 1915 through those portals, known as the Selec- QKjyo tion of the Wisest, into the halls of fame, the Law. No sooner had this class entered the halls of fame and begun to master those fundamental principles of the leading profession, than they learned that lawlessness is an essential prerequisite to the study of the law. They also found in the right wing of Woodburn Hall a fraternal spirit, the one for the other — a tie that bound them closer thati any oath or compact could bind them with those not of their number — a spirit of respect for the law, friend- ship for a fellow student, and above all, they loved their teacher. It would not be out of place to mention that this love has Increased as time goes on, but more of that, anon. In order to fulfill the burdens and responsibilities of lawlesstiess and the law, it became the duty of the Class of 1915, Law, P. Q. to assemble in all their glory and select one from among them, the one most fitted to lead them. Again the immortal gods, in all their wisdom, directed them and they choose Roscoe P. Posten, who, to create an irrebuttable presumption of his competency and fidelity, immediately declared a holiday. The spirit of freedom in those good old days was predominant, and the carelessness of youth was not yet dampened by that feeling of responsibility which now rests on the shoulders of each one of the class. Holidays came thick and fast, until the revelation came that no longer did those, who had been chosen to guide and direct, look with favor upon such manifesta- tions of spirit, and as had been said before they loved their teachers — prob- ably so — ' till now Jack is relieved of the burden of repeating to the wayward and erring, many times a day that a holiday is no excuse. The class was exceedingly unfortunate in the resignation of Dean Charles E. Hogg, who was honored and respected by each and every one of its members The second year found the class, now smaller in numbers, with the same old spirit, slightly more grave and serious, withal, but still ranking high in the favor of their guardians, the immortal gods. Mike Leatherwood, athlete, student and all-around good fellow, piloted the staunch old ship through tempest, hurri- cane and wind, and landed it safely on June 15th, 1914. But I say, old chap, it that bally house of lords hadn ' t conevned when it did, deuce take it old boy if I don ' t believe the whole class would have been chucked out of school. Probably so. But alas, the wrath of the gods, without warning, seemed to fall upon them — to fall upon them when the goal of their endeavors had almost been reached. No longer do those wild shrieks proclaiming that all the strength is in the law resound through the halls, no longer does the spirit of freedom manifest itself, but the demon. Work, has crept in, has grown, and now asserts his su- premacy — denied by none. The same fraternal spirit still exists, but it exists no longer as between the young, the careless, the free; but as between men, men who can work and who already have begun to feel the weight of the responsi- bilities of life resting upon their shoulders. In keeping with this change, to guide them through the last lap of their college race, they, after grave and serious deliberation, selected Charles E. Mahan, a hard working student of the more serious turn, as their president. And now that the end of the race has come and the goal for which they have striven is reached, the glory of the achievement is, for the time, forgotten in the regret that the best of friends must part, but each feels that he is better, wiser and happier by having been a member of the Law Class of 1915. And when they look back, they wonder whether the wrath of the gods had ever fallen upon them, or were the gods wiser than they. sanxriirck SMiatititifi i -, Sccon6 year Caw (Tlass OFFICERS President -J.

According to a delightful and fitting custom of the last few years, on the first Saturday evening after the opening of school, the students of the University were welcomed in the Armory by the Young Women ' s and Young Men ' s Christian As- sociations. After being greeted by the several members of the receiving line, each guest receiv- ed a folder with pencil attached, in which he ob- tained as many autographs as possible, incident- ally becoming acquainted with many new stu- dents in a pleasing, informal way. Couples were formed into a grand march after which light re- freshments were served. The social was unusual- ly well attended. On October twenty-fourth, the Young Women ' s Association entertained about seventy-five women. The evening was gaily spent in the playing of children ' s games such as, London Bridge is Fall- ing Down, Drop the Handkerchief, and the like. Ice cream cones were served and some piano music was enjoyed, concluding an evening in which all felt that they had become fairly started into the year of college work with the true spirit of comradeship. The Associations gave a joint social in the Armory on February the twentieth in honor of the delegates attending a convention of Student Volunteers. Hi Cf)i (j mega Bance Theta Chapter of Chi Omega opened the social season on October the second with a dance in the Armory. The event was in celebration of the Fall Eleusima of the Chapter.

At the north end of the hall the Greek letters Chi Omega were set forth by incandescent bulbs, while at the south end ' Theta was similarly produced. At eight o ' clock Cadenza ' s Orchestra began the grand march which was led by Miss Sine and Mr. Carter. The programme consisted of twenty regular dances and a Chi Omega special. A short intermission was held between the tenth and eleventh dances during which ices were served. The patronesses were Mrs. L. S. Brock, Mrs. Wm. E.

The Armory i ' was beantifiilly decorated for the occasion, school and fraternity pennants and banners being ar- tistically arranged on the walls. Streamers of Theta Nu Epsilon colors were hung to the walls from the centerpiece, directly over the orchestra stand. Two skeletons were suspended from the balcony, each containing a red eye and a green eye characteristic of the Theta Nu Epsilon skull and cross bones. Shortly after eight o ' clock the grand march was begun to the lively strains of Tipperary by the Cadenza orchestra. The program consisted of twenty regular dances and two specials. Lunch- eon was served during the intermission held after the tenth dance, after which dancing was re sumed until one o ' clock. The patronesses for the dance were Mrs. C.

Seventy-five couples were in attendance, including active, alumni, and pledged members of the Fraternity; representa- tives from the other fraternities and other or- ganizations in the University; and a number of residents of Morgantown. The Armory was taste- fully decorated with pennants of the University and other universities and colleges, together with fraternity banners. At fifteen mitiutes after eight o ' clock, the Cadenza Orchestra of Clarksburg began the grand march, led by Mr. E. A.

About three hundred guests were received by the active chapter. The resi- dent alumnae were the patronesses for the evening. The decorations of the Armory were very pic- turesque. Around the walls were college and fraternity pennants. From the windows to the centerpiece ot the electric lights were hung red, white and blue streamers; the windows, curtained in gold and blue bunting, were trimmed with pine and laurel; and the orchestra stand was banked with ferns and potted plants. An artistic booth of light and dark blue, the fraternity colors, oc- cupied one corner from which a most delicious lunch was served during the intermission. In the corner diagonally opposite the booth was a tree, upon whose branches real-looking cherries and leaves had been fastened, and through whose branches were visible the lighted letters, W. V. U. Other original and attractive electrical effects were the Kappa key and Sigma in Delta pledge pin, placed at opposite ends of the Armory. A picture of Washington, surrounded by red, white and blue lights, was hung from the balcony, further decorated with large flags. At eight-thirty Parker ' s Saxaphone Orchestra of Columbus, Ohio, began the grand march, led by Miss Ethel Hoult and Mr. Paul Hoskins. The Greek letters of the Kappa pledge pin, Sigma in Delta, were formed by the dancers, after which programs were distributed. During the special partner dances, the sixth and twelfth, only the lights of the key, pledge pin and picture were used. Miss Babby Jackson and Master Frank Corbin, impersonating George and Martha Wash- ington, gave out as favors, red, white and blue hatchet fans to the ladies, and small satin hatch- ets for lapel adornment to the men. The second special was the prettiest dance of the evening. Each couple was presented with sparklers, which, born ax;ross the floor to the rythmic move- ment of the dancers, produced a beautiful effect in the darkened hall.

Thousands have grown old prematurely en- deavoring to devise a scheme to accomplish this end. It was in the fertile mind of one Christopher Columbus that the idea was first conceived that youth for the great- er part was a mental rather than a physical condition. For many years during his early life he tried to convince the people of his own country that the period of youth could be extended by setting aside a proportionate amount of time for good fellowship and harmless pleasure, during which time the mind cou ' d be free from all worry and care. Dis- couraged by the little confidence which his serious minded country- men placed in his theory, he set out to find a new land where his idea cou ' d be fully tried out. Upon his arrival in America, the natives gathered around him, repeating over and over the words Fi Bata Cappar. Pleased with the conditions as he found them Columbus gathered about him a number of the most prominent natives and put his plans into operation. As a name for the society which he formed he selected the words Fi Bata Cappar which he heard so often. He spent several years with this organization and finding that his plans were more successful than he had ever hoped for he return- ed home to tell his friends the good news. But no sooner was he out from under the influence of Fi Bata Cappar than he began to grow old rapidly and a few years after his return to Europe he died of old age. Shortly before his death he called his intimate friend. Ponce de Leon, to his bedside and told him of the organization which he had formed and hew It preserved youth and made the old young again, but died before he could te ' l the location of Fi Bata Cappar. Ponce de Leon spent the remainder of his days in a vain search through the American forests. He gave out to Channing, Hart and a few ot ' .ier historians, that he was trying to find the fountain of per- petual youth, but in fact he was seeking Fi Bata Cappar. Left (o themselves tlie members of Fi Bata Cappar became care- less and the organization was allowed lo run down. Nothing further was done until the spring of 1914, when a number of young men with characteristics very nearly resembling those of the original mem- bers revived the organizat ' on and carried to completion the plans o- the founder. So West Virginia University had the signal and unique honor of being the place where the ob: ' ect of the visit of Columbus to our continent was finally culminated. And the words Fi Bata Cappar were those used by the Chow Chow tribe of Indians as a salutation, and translated into English mean, How do you do, Columbus.

Allen I91S MxfViijtisi (LoUegiate (Torps (Livil Cnginccrs The profession of civil engineering is freighted with problems and responsibilities such as no other profession knows. The civil engineer has bigger things to do than the demigods, the stories of whose feats have outlasted the wear and tear of centuries. Quite likely his critics remember him more vividly when he is engrossed with big problems than during his moments of recreation; and he often is described by them as a being too retiring and unassertive for his own good. To free the minds of the civil engineer ' s critics from these er- roneous ideas, and among other things to bind the members of the profession into a close relationship, and to see that they get all the good things they justly deserve both in college and in the field, a band of ardent followers of the profession met at West Virginia Uni- versity, October 2.3, 1914, and o rganized the Collegiate Corps Civil Engineers with the above insignia and with the following officers and members: OFFICERS A.

Deem Senior Member Dorsey Brannan Junior Member mmt £3XjO[jailr0(jists IL Etaie Hxrtriltixfa:; Ms Jditt i jF ootball Review LAST year it was announced that an organized movement for the revision ot athletics at the University was to be inaugurated, and that improvement in this branch ol the University ' s work was certain to result. This year, during the season of 1914- 15, we have seen the realization of the foreword. The football season was eloquent of the success which attended the earnest and strenuous efforts made by the Athletic Board to bring honor and prestige to the University by means of athletic prowess. Taking the season as a whole, and viewing it from the standpoint of one not connected with the University, perhaps it would not be termed successful. But let us consider the circumstances surrounding football during the past season; the dearth of material that re- mained from the preceding year, the new coaching methods introduced, the raw recruits who answered the call for candidates, and the handicap at the beginning of the season oc- casioned by a lack of proper equipment. All these, together with the prejudice of the stu- dent body because of the slump which ath- letics had taken the year previous, had to be surmounted. Bearing everything in mind, therefore, we can say without diffidence that the University has taken unbounded strides in pursuit of its goal — athletic supremacy. The enthusiasm and spirit which Coach Metzger inspired into the men of the squad was contagious, and soon spread over the en- tire student body. Everyone immediately began to boost, so that prospects appeared bright for a championship team; but just at that time when our hopes were highest and the team was fast developing toward perfection, the coach met with a deplorable ac- cident which confined him to the hospital for several weeks. We had already beaten Marshall College team by a decisive score and were preparing to give Bethany a good walloping; but the injury to Coach Metzger cast a gloom over the whole student body, and for a time completely demoralized the team. An S. O. S. was despatched to A. B. Zeigler and the following week he arrived to take charge of the squad. He soon instilled new life into the men, and the result was an overwhelming victory over Duquesne University the following Saturday. A new era of athletic activity has dawned upon the University and with a proper share of good fortune, the efforts of the men in charge should be crowned with success during the next season. The prospects for the season of 1915-16 are most promising, and we have every reason to believe that the team which represents the University on the gridiron next fall will be the best ever turned out from this institution. With the same efficient management and coaching already assured, and with unlimited support from the students and the people of Morgantown, our team should be in a position to vie with the best in this section of the country. Manager Russell Gist r Mxtjxiittsii l ■Bhb MB COACH SOL METZGER ii=I9lB MnJiiizt i l  s Hutchinson Brooks Barnard Davis HAROLD HUTCHINSON Harold Hutchinson learned much about football while in Fairmont High School, and this knowledge was considerably augmented by one year ' s experience at Virginia Military Institute where he played a star game at fullback. Only one day on the foot- ball field was sufficient to prove that he was Varsity material, and thereafter lie had a permanent place behind the line. His work in all the games in which he took part was spectacular, characterized by hard tackling and terrific line plunging. He was unfor- tunate, liowever, in being injured during the game at Washington, and for that reason Ills work was somewliat impaired in the last games of tlie season. ALLEN BROOKS Allen Brooks came to the University from Buckhannon High School with a great reputation as an atlilete, having captained and managed almost all teams of tliat school at one time or another. Despite the fact tliat he was only a Freshman and the young- est man on the squad he deserved a regular berth, and held one until seriously in- capaciated by a fracture of the knee. His punting was by far the best in the State; and except for his untimely injury, would no doubt have gained for him a position on the All-State team. W. C. BARNARD W. C. Barnard is a product of the Morgantown High School, having played on the team for three years. Before he was injured in the A. and M. game at Raleigh there were few ends in this section who could compare with him. Although a new man in the University, early in the season he showed that he had the qualities of a good Varsity end, and there was little hesitation in choosing him for the position when the weeding out process began. GRIN H. DAVIS, Captain Captain Orin H. Davis, generally known as Pig, entered into the realm of foot- ball while attending Woodberry Forest Preparatory School, and from the very first he showed signs of developing into a great center. Even during his Freshman year at the University he took part in all of the big games and since that time has been one of the mainstays of the Varsity eleven. An adept in breaking up interference and in tackling, a hard worker, and a clean player, he has elicited praise and admiration, both on and off the field, from players and spectators. Pig has been placed upon the All-State football team for the past three years. 1910 ' ■t IMxfuiitt i l Stewart Colebank Hite Leatherwood MELVILLE STEWART The only reason that Melville Billiken Stewart has failed to have the distinc- tion of playing four seasons as regular fullback on the Varsity, is the tact that during his Fieshman year we had the best man in the State at that position. However, in the following season Billiken stepped into his place where he has played for the past three years. His experience was gained in Moundsville High School, where he is recognized as one of the best athletes ever turned out from that school. J. H. COLEBANK Too much cannot be said of J. H. Colebank ' s ability as an athlete. His early training was received at Fairmont Normal, where athletics centered around him. His performance at Fairmont last Thanksgiving will long be remembered as the most brilliant playing ever done by any member of a West Virginia team. If his past record is to be considered, he undoubtedly will prove a source of great strength to future teams of the University in all branches of athletics. C. B. HITE Hite comes to West Virginia University from Huntington. He obtained a thorough knowledge of the fundamentals of football while in the high school of that city, where he won for himself an enviable reputation as a back-field player. When he came to the University last fall he attracted much attention by the fine manly spirit and won- derful aggressiveness that he exhibited while a candidate for the team. Modest and unassuming in his relations witli his fellow students, he has not allowed himself to be carried away by the praise that he has merited by his brilliant playing on the gridiron. Undoubtedly, he is one of the strongest players that ever wore the Gold and Blue in the service of West Virginia University. CARL P. LEATHERWOOD, Captain-elect A more thoroughly athletic man never matriculated at West Virginia than Carl P. Mike Leatherwood who hails from the metropolis of the State. He has played on the football team for the past three years, and has been accorded a place on the All- State team for two years. His speed on the gridiron has gained for him the soubriquet of the Spiegel of West Virginia, and because of his speed, together with his indomit- able nerve, he is the dread of every rival team. There are very few games in which Mike does not star, and a better man could not have been chosen to lead the Var- sity team in 1915. |!=191$ IMxfViiitti i Mullenex Curry Webster Seckman H. P. MULLENEX Before coming to the University, H. P. Mullenex was the chief factor in athletics at Davis and Elkins College, making good in all lines of sport. His ability was soon appreciated here and it was not long before he had his position at tackle won easily. A more heady and consistent player is not to be found on the team, and whenever called upon to make an opening MuUy is never found wanting. HARRY CURRY Harry Curry obtained his preliminary experience in football in Grafton High School, where he played four seasons and captained the team his last year. During the two years he has spent in Morgantown he has proved himself a stellar athlete, taking part in football, basketball and baseball. In football he is without doubt the most consistent ground gainer on the team, seldom failing to respond with several yards when given the ball. He was named for the All-State team, and gives promise of developing into one of the best line plunging halfbacks ever turned out from the University. J. B. WEBSTER J. B. Spig Webster played at Bethany last year, and was recognized at that time as one of the best line men in the State. Under the able direction of the Varsity coaches he has continued to improve in his style of playing to such an extent that, with the proper kind of support, his side of the line was practically impregnable. His choice for the All-State team was unanimous. J. R. SECKMAN Throughout the entire four years of J. R. Seckman ' s career in the University, he has displayed that sort of college spirit and enthusiasm, which alone makes success- ful athletics possible in any institution. Seek is a man, who when he sets out to do something, usually sticks to the finish; and his tenacity on the gridiron won for him the coveted letters W. V. both in his Sophomore year and again last season. 191$ mxrjttiirxrfRi 5t L. Brooks Chenoweth Newman Brannan LESLIE BROOKS Leslie Brooks finished his varied career in college athletics the past season. He came from West Virginia Wesleyan, where his work in building up athletics will long be remembered by followers of the Orange and Black. For the past three years he has been the regular Varsity tackle, and never has there been a more dependable, conscientious player on any of the University teams. A good student and popular with everyone, he will not soon be relegated to the list of forgotten heroes. FRED M. CHENOWETH Before coming to the tJniversity Fred M. Chenoweth gained a great reputation as an athlete at Broaddus Institute, and has lived up to it since his arrival here. There is not much in the athletic line which Chenny does not tackle, and he usually lets his adversary know that he is there, too. Though small in stature, he is a hard man to down, and his ability to handle a team in the most trying circumstances has won for him the position at quarterback, which he played in many games of the past season. R, C. NEWMAN Marshall College enjoys the distinction of having developed R. C. Newman into a Varsity guard of no mean ability. While there he played two years on the football team and also represented his college on the track. Though not conspicuous his work was always consistent. Having proved his worth during his first year at the Uni- versity, it is safe to say that he will be a valuable man to the Varsity for the remainder of his stay here. DORSEY BRANNAN Dorsey Brannan, from Grafton High School, has been playing football only two years, but in that time he has acquired a thorough knowledge of the game as played In the line, and was a fixture at guard throughout last season. While not a con- spicuous player, Brannan always keeps his opponent busy, and allows very few plays through his position. sin$ MxfViiiztfl i !5 esult5 of JF ' ootball Season 1914 West Virginia.- - -. 20 West Virginia 13 West Virginia 37 West Virginia 13 West Virginia West Virginia 55 West Virginia 6 West Virginia -- 6 West Virginia - 9 Totals — West Virginia -.159 Marshall College Bethany College Duquesne Unitersity North Carolina A.

During the six years in which West Virginia Univeisity was not represented in this branch of athletic activity, there was a constant pressure brought to bear by the student body asking that the sport be revived, partly through the belief that West Virginia should be represented in basketball in order to take her proper place in collegiate athletics of this section of the country, but to a greater degree because of the abundance of excellent material for a floor team which was unable to benefit the University because of no intercollegiate schedule. The athletic board early in October provided for the re-establish- ment of basketball and elected Arlington Fleming manager with the task of arranging a schedule. Twenty games in all were played and the team finished with a record of eleven victories and nine defeats, a most creditable record in view of the short time given for prepara- tion. Of the eleven victories, five were won on foreign floors. At the beginning of the season the squad numbered thirty men, being in charge of Director Pyle who was designated by the athletic board to coach the team. Later, this number was cut down to ten men while a reserve squad of ten men was given a reserve schedule to play. Stuart Race was the unanimous choice of his teammates for captain and by his brilliant work at forward and guard, paved the way for many victories. The State championship for the 1915 season went to Wesleyan but not until the Methodists had won three of the hardest fought games on their schedule from the Varsity. The West Virginia team was seriously handicapped lor this series by the loss of three of the Varsity squad disqualified because of deficiency in studies. The outlook for 1916 in basketball is exceedingly bright and it is the belief that the Varsity team will make a record for itself which will rival any of those made by the famous Go]d and Blue tossers of earlier years. raie ' SMufuiitsuli l ' Keat BASKETBALL SCORES West Virginia 25 West Virginia 59 West Virginia 47 West Virginia 33 West Virginia IS West Virginia 21 West Virginia 20 West Virginia 19 West Virginia 26 West Virginia 7 West Virginia ' 26 West Virginia 50 West Virginia 42 West Virginia 22 West Virginia 21 West Virginia 31 West Virginia ;. 27 West Virgini a - 20 West Virginia 37 Daivs and E ' lliins 37 Davis and Elliins 18 Fairmont Y.

Having the advantage of an unusually early start, the Varsity has played twenty games of one of the hardest schedules in the history of the school, with a record of thirteen victories and seven defeats. One of these de- feats was at the hands of the Wheeling Central League team and should not be counted in the season ' s record. On the other hand, the game with Susque- hanna College was stopped by rain after the third inning, and so this contest could not fairly be included in the list of victories. Omitting these two games, the re- cord shows twelve victories and six defeats This showing of the team is i!l the more creditable when it is ninembered that of the twenty , :imes played, thirteen were stag- Manager Guy Peoples ed on foreign grounds. The team has completed two trips and is now on its third. On both of the first trips, the Varsity broke even and thus far on its third has made a clean sweep. Those who fully understood the difficulties of playing first class ball while traveling can appreciate the record of the Gold and Blue team this season. The University had the good fortune this year in securing the coaching services of Charlie Hickman, former major league star and coach of the Varsity team in 1913. Coach Hickman has worked hard with his squad and the results of the season speak for themselves. Although the Varsity team this year remained almost intact from 1914, Coach Hickman has taken pains to develop several of his more promising recruits and has built up a reserve playing strength which is probably unequaled by any team in this section of the country. EI916 SS ' Mtfuitttsi i I 1916 4 Msudicsf i i Cy Mike George Fid till ' : SIMON, First base Cy ' was tlie surprise of the season last year and liis worli so far this season has not depreciated one iota. He guards the initial sack in a brilliant manner, seldom being charged with an error and can be depended upon when a hit is needed. LEATHERWOOD, Second base Little need be said concerning Mike ' s playing around the keystone sack. He is always in the game and usually gets everything which comes his way. His hitting bids fair to place him at the top of the list. MORROW, Short-stop Morrow perhaps covers more ground than any other man on the team. His speed and mastery of the fade-away makes him a dangerous man on the bases. FIDLER, Catcher Fid is one of the hardest workers on the team and instills lots of pep into his team mates. This is only his second year of Varsity baseball though he has the form of a leaguer. Many games have been broken up by a mighty swat from his bat. IJixtnhtt i DOUGHER, Utility ••Bill is a first baseman, not from choice but because of necessity. He is an es- pecially good man to have on the team as he can play any position and is a good hitter. HERSEY, Middle field Although one of the best outfielders who ever wore a West Virginia uniform, Rex was not discovered until late last spring. He has made good with a vengeance and has shown that he is here to stay He is making Captain Mike hustle to keep the highest batting average. STOOPS, Right field Stoops plays a good game in right. He is steady and dependable, being equally good at the bat and in the field. This is his first year of college baseball. AYERS, Left field There is not a man on the team who fights harder for a game than Sally ' and he usually produces at the right time. He is a faultless fielder and is fast and heady on the bases. I £1916 %jojdtr0(jgti Chenny Jack Gray Charlie ' Lefty CHENOWETH, Pitcher Because of the high quality of ball pitched hy the older men, Chenny has not had much of an opportunity to show what he can do. However, with the right kind of support from his team he can win a majority of his games. HAGAN, Pitcher Jack is a warm weather man and did not appear on the field until late in the season. When in proper form none but the best can touch him. We are relying on his arm to win many games before the close of the season. HUFFMAN, Pitcher Another recruit pitcher in the person of Gray Huffman has performed well on the mound when given a chance. He possesses the qualifications which are necessary in a Varsity pitcher and besides is a good hitter. FULTON, Pitcher Charlie is the delight of the rooters. His work is not confined to the mound alone where he excels, for there is not a position on the team which he cannot fill with credit. His hitting makes him especially valuable. BARRON, Pitcher For three years Lefty has been the mainstay on the slab for the University. His work against the best teams in the country classes him high among college pitch- ers. He has been put in as a pinch hitter on several occp- ions and invariably made good. I 1910 SatrJtriirtrfia i csuUs of !

But with the general rejuvenation of athletics great advances have been made in developing a team which will eventually be in a position to share honors with representatives from institutions outside of the State. The only public appearance of the team last year was in the State meet at Fairmont. In this meet, of the 117 possible points, the Varsity scored 56, placing in every event.

[NOTE— The Joke Editor asks that no one take the following verses too seriously.] The meeting now was in full blast, The fur was fiercely flying. The braver brothers controversed. The weaker ones were sighing. The meeting ' s issue was about The wearing of the dress suit : To make the slim look rather stout. And make the stout no less cute. It shall not be, it shall not be! the merry .Monty cried. No, no, we shall not wear it. Because, here Monty almost sighed, I fear that we might tear it. |SI9l$ ZS .tirxi MxfViiittfi l 1 We must, vc must! the l)nl(l Jiulse fussed, He hailed from blase Wheeling. With fervent speech — he almost cussed — He spoke -with so much feeling. Then up spoke Uan, the mridel man. A finished orator was he. He flecked a speck from suit of check, Addressed the noble company. Oh lirothers dear, you lookey here. Just let me tell you these ; Friend ' s is far, I have no car, My skinn}- legs might freeze. But I cannot balk, I ' ve got to walk To have m - picture taken. And go the chance in short dress pants, Though it ma cmik mv bacon. Committee on tlie Dress Suit s]5oke : It ' s cleaned and pressed, we ' ve got to use it. It smells of gasoline and smoke, liut listen, boys, do not abuse it. ' Twas jnit to vote, and let us note That little opposition rose. ' hite shirt, and vest, and long-tailed coat Must be the rig of those who pose. A schedule then was ([uicklv made For Ed and Roy and all the rest. So each and every brother loyal Could sport the coat and classv vest. That lone dress suit and tie to boot ' as used by e •erv brother. They used it much ; it served them well, The) ' shall not want another. The lecture ' s took, the dress suit look Is now the pride of all. It makes the common chaft feel cheap. It makes the ladies fall. A good full dress, we must confess. Is all right in its proper place ; But otherwise it is a mess, Yea, verilv, a sad disgrace. i9ie imn nd ' jmna aitittllrtrf i THE 1915 Monticola would be incomplete without the grateful acknowledgement by the Board o( Editors of the favors and assistance received from various mem- bers of the alumni, faculty, and student body of the University. Thanks are due to S. G. Jackson, C. E. Hodges, L. E. Mc- Whorter, E. D. Woodyard, and others, who have contributed toward the literary part of the book. Credit for the artistic and me- chan-cal part of this Monticola is due large- ly to the artists: Kate Meredith, Mearle Hardesty, Rose Sells, Valerie Schultz, .Jennie Cox, Clarence McCutcheon, Fred R. Koelz, W. M. Archdeacon, and Tom Moore. The Editors are especially inde bted for the apt suggestions of Mr. Fred R. Koelz and the kindly thoughtful censorship of Dr. Madison Stathers and Professor Simeon C. Smith. .TAMES BREINIG RILEY, Editor-in-Chief. REMEMBERING always that small favors are thankfully received and larger ones in proportion, I wish to thank every one who has in any way helped to make this book what it is. It is a matter of deep regret that it was impossible to secure cuts of the Glee and Mandolin Clubs in time for publication. The copy was apparently lost in shipment and could not be traced to its final destination. The men who have advertised in this book are friends of the students and de- serve their patronage. The Morgantown Printing and Binding Co., Jhe Northern Engraving Co., and Mr. L. E. Friend have given good and faithful service. HARRY FERGUSON, Business Manager, 1916 Monticola.

Is the only one where every part of all Band Instruments are manufactured strictly from the raw material. Is the only one where the highest grade instruments are manufactured ex- clusive of all others. Is the home of the Greatest Artists, who test and aid in the erperimental work. Employs world renowned testers to insure perfection of its products. Employs the highest skilled and most experienced instrument makers in the world. Is equipped with the most modern machinery and tools to be found in any horn factory. Has adopted a modern method of manufacture, which guarantees a more uni- form quality of instruments and far greater perfection in all their essential points. Advises all customers to purchase direct from the factory or from a duly authorized agent to whom this factory may refer. Turns out the best Band Instruments made in the world up to date and offers $5,000.00 to anyone who can produce a set of instruments, manufactured in one factory, equal to a set of the Conn New Invention Models. Employs more skilled labor than all other Band Instrument factories in America. Stamps every instrument it builds with the Union Label.

There has never been an exception to this rule. Will continue to make the HIGHEST GRADE BAND INSTRUMENTS on the market at a REASONABLE PROFIT. Will continue to stand for and maintain the motto — Better Instruments for the Best Musicians and Better Musicians for the Best Instruments. FIRM AND HONEST IN ITS AIM THE C. G.
