The best textbooks of the time .Were used, the best available teachers Were secured, supplementary lectures by eminent men Were given, library and apparatus Were 'in constant N use, and thoroughness was the prevailing' characteristic of the class- room. On such a broad and solid foundation as this, the building of a permanent superstructure Was made easy. MO1'6OVC1' it Was inevitable that the best ideas in modern scholarship should be adopted. There Was, from the very first, the determination not to do more than could be done Well, not to claim anything that could T T not be honestly realized, and this, together With an ambition for growth and development has made possible the curriculum of today. . The VVestern, like Mt. Holyoke, was a college in spirit, aims, and methods long before the title of Seminary Was changed to that of l College. ' e ' . Side by side With these ideals, of Christian education and T service, of thorough intellectual equipment, is a fourth ideal, the I A ideal of a true democracy. It also is an inherited virtue that suc- ii ceeding classes are proud to perpetuate. There are here uno' hard A ,E- vertical nor horizontal distinctions that separate into estranged 1 groups, but a large feeling of mutuality and interdependence, a common community ideal and spirit, a VVestern Way. r T .

My father, the Rev. Hiram Rose Howe, was born in Swan- ton, Vt., May 25, 1798, QThe Ohio University, A.B., 18265 A.M., 1829, Union Theological Seminary, Va., 18301, and was one of the early home missionaries in Southern Ohio, remaining there until his death, Feb. 11, 1888. My mother, Isabella Payne Howe, born in London, England, March 16, 1813, died whe11 I was a little more than four years old. At The Western our class, 1865, was called the VVar Class because our course there closed with the close the Ginghamsf' because our graduating dresses of the warg also sometimes called d to Mr. Charles were made from brown gingham. June 29, 1869, I was marrie Frederick Howe, Captain Co. B, 150 Regt. Indiana Volunteers, Inf., during the lat- ter part of the Civil War. Our children were Carlotta Frederica, born December 22 1871 Q'Western class of ,92j, died Jan. 2, 1902, and Edward Wilstach, born 3 Jan. 15, 18711, whose home and business are in Chicago. With mothers the children are virtually the beginning and end of the story. This is enough, except that I would like space to say that my husband and I were not related, previous to .Iune 29, 1869, though both our fathers were from Vermont, and both their fathers served D 0 I U f ' tl R olution But we have family records- reaching back to the beginning o in ie ev . the seventeenth century, and if there was relationship between the families, it was away back in England somewhere. My work? Not much, Editor, with Miss P ddock '64 of The Kaleidoscope at the Western-this I take it was the Emma a , 1, . remote ancestor of the Western Oxford, I would like to see it now! I was also first editor of The Jewish Era, of which I trust there is a complete file at The VVestern. Have served the Alumnae Association in many ways, the second president, organ- izer and first president of The Chicago Branch, the earliest of the branches. But now--more important-The History of Western College-First Fifty Y s. I wish it was out-and that as much devotion and fidelity might be expended ear in the quality and style of its publication 'as has been centered on the less material part of the work. The history of VVestern College is in itself so very interesting that it would be a dull writer indeed who would fail to produce a readable book, although ' ' ' h ' 'd t uch data for speedy reference, there must of necessity be combined wit 1nc1 en m for ultimately histories are for reference in convenient form. The last I knew of d tl MSS it was in Mr. Fulton's fireproof safe in Cincinnati. Doubtless the Hoo s, ie , the search for a President, etc., have eclipsed the importance of the history-a mis- take, however, as The VVestern is to have the full benefit of the work. Someone 19 should be at work now on the succeeding ten years. Let none look at me -I am not able to undertake any more work so exhausting. Weiare her children gone, years passing, taking more and more strength as they gog but from the top of our bluffs on the bank of the river we look off toward the west as the sun sets over the prairies-almost invariably in a sweet grandeur indescribable-and I have never seen anywhere an afterglow so beautiful as we have here at The Wilds, it seems a sweet appeal to reverent worship and abiding trust.

After a hardday's Work nothing is so restful as a cup of tea in the dimly-lighted Agora room. The music and quiet soothes all fatigue and prepares one for another day of examinations. This year the teas Were a great suc- cess. On Monday, the League officers took charge. The room Was decorated With the Weste1'n flag, and blue and White candle shades. On Tuesday, the Seniors served. Miss Kent sang. The Juniors Were the next hostesses, and used' daffodils for decoration. The Sophomores and Freshmen held the final teas, Which Were as popular and successful as the opening ones. i K v . ' 24 'K1. Se mrs A14 . if f n li ' A A -Isle .AQ Q - hi . 'LN .g.

CLASS .FLOWVERZ Violet 26 , Che QIGSS of l9I4 The class of 19144 needs no written history, the story of its glory has been graven year by year on the hearts of all the students and faculty who have watched our progress. 'We have, of course, done the same things, had the same big days that all classes have, we have taken the same colllege courses that all classes must take, but it is the way 1914+ has done them that is to become traditional. Even from the ancient history of our Freshman year, the vioElet haze still lingers. What Senior can forget the tramp across the Tallawanda to Violet Bank when we, as Freshmen, for the first time made May Baskets for the Juniors! Nor can we forget the making of our Freshman Hag-how we each were anxious to sew on at least one petal of the violets! But these .memories concern only the 19144 girls. In our career, there have been many things which have affected the whole col- lege. It was during our Freshman year, as we stood one morning in chapel singing lustily, How firm a foundation, that we heard a mighty roar beneath. lt was not the foundation-only the plastering from the dining hasll ceiling. There was much confusion and excitement when the tables were at last arranged in the long base- ment corridor. Although we sang it of ourselves, it was quite the reputation we established that year for the professors could not discover i 'A Such a class as 191-L, VVe were so downright cleverf' When we came back as Sophomores, a remarkable change had taken place in the front corridor of Peabody Hall. The proverbial green carpet had been laid in the corridor, and the clock was apparently in good condition. We presented that masterpiece, Beauty and the Beast for our stunt on College Day, then rushed off to the Miami gymnasium to play the Sophomore-Freshman basket ball game. That was long before we dreamed of having a gym of our own. To prove our cleverness the second year, we wrote the class play, The Century Plant, which was undoubt- edly a success. As a gentle hint to chaperones of other classes, one of our most remarkable good times was the hay-ride which our chaperones gave us that spring. None but the Seniors know how the country looks from the top of the old mill roof! 1 And now among the traditions of the Middle Ages, we must include the happen- ings of our Junior year. Quite an exciting year that! The first thing was the fire in Peabody Hall when' all Miami came rushing out in time to rescue-Miss Pea- body's portrait, the College Bible, and the hymnubooks. That fall the Juniors had the championship in basket ball, of which we were all duly proud. The all impor- tantlbody, the finance committee Qsecond in importance only to the council, which has even the privilege of revoking legitimate vacationsj, was organized that year- the woe of every treasurer in college, even to the treasurer of- our class, who was never known to have money. hen carneour elaborate-1Junior breakfast, so elaborate, in fact, that severe restrictions have been placed on alll succeeding breakfasts ffor full particulars, see the Committee on Oversight of Entertainmentsj. We were the only class who could be Juniors in the flood time of 1913, when Ysaye gave a two 27 thousand dollar concert in our parlors gratuitously. Another thing that will always be a tradition of that year was the two-o'c,lock Hre drill--when all the beauty s-ecretsof the college were laid bare even in the face of such a mystery. Our Junior year came gloriously to a close with the publication of our annual. As for thehistory of modern times-there are many things worth recording. For the first time in history, every member of the Senior class came back some kind of an official-each thoroughly impressed with the dignity of herposition. In addi- tion we have each for the first time-in our advisory capacity, undertaken to guide six erring Freshmen through their first year. Most of our Freshmen know us by sight at least. That we should be here to record the completion of our gym is remarkable, but it is finished even to the swimming pool-and. wonder of wonders, once a week the Seniors are privileged to have an evening swimming party. As unique as ever, the Seniors did not stand in line at Senior Reception. Only our august officials received, while the rest of us were stationed in each room much after the fashion of the five-spot on a domino. The most distinguishing thing of all, however, is the way we keep Senior parlor-well, of course. That's the way we have always done things. lt has not been all play, but a remarkable mixture of hard worksand hard play. Four years ago we came, the dream of years is almost over, and at the end we are forced to say with Stevenson: i ' To 'travel hopefully is more Than to arrive at the goal.

' What can we choose of all we might say about Gertrude which will really do her jus- tice? We thought she surely would major in Math or Latin, so glib were her recita- tions in Freshman days, but instead she delves into Philos and Lit, besides spending a goodly amount of her time in the Chem lab. We marvel at her brain power, admire her executive ability, and feel that we have only begun to appreciate her true worth.

From the day she left her Pennsylvania hills for our Western plains, until she donned her cap and gown, Peggy's time has been employed in making friends. On the side she has cap- tained her Junior basket ball team, star- red in dramatics, and been Senior vice pres- ident. Should anyone seek further informa- tion of Peggy, be it known that she is little, has black, curly locks, and is expected to contribute to the sensations of the 1914 Senior howl. , 29 ELEANOP. K.

Since then she has talzen from her Alma Mater much learning, and has given in return unbounded enthusiasm for every phase of college life, and, with it all, a smile. EMMY META DAX, Cincinnati, Ohio Round Table, Glee Club, Choirg President Students' League, '13,-'14, . I For the first two years of the college life, Emmy was a very loyal member of the class of ,13. After having been abroad for a year, she entered as a Junior with the class of '14, They found her to be ever ready for service in her new class, and a faithful, un- tiring worker. In the spring of her Junior year, she was elected vice president of the League, but Fate frowned that a girl with such executive ability should lay waste her powers in the students' kitchen, and turned her wheel, so that at the eleventh hour, Emmy found herself president. She. has performed her duties with suchia mixture of dignity and sympathy that all the girls love her. In this way has our loved Demmy Ax given to her Alma Mater her faith, loyalty, love, and service. 30 ELIZABETH WALKER, Hartwell, Cincinnati, Ohio Round Table 5 Choir, Secretary of Class, '12-'13, Vice President of Y. W. C. A., '13-'14, Elizabeth's cheery smile has endeared her to all of us, both faculty and student. She is a born manager, and if she undertakes to do a thing, we are sure it fwil'l be done well. She has made many fast friends on her corridor who will always think of radiant good cheer when they think of Elizabeth. LOUISE NIILLER, Piqua, Ohio President of Dianthiang Alumnae 'Editor of Western Oxford, '13-'14, Graduate in Piano, '14, Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, '12-'13, Louise is one of the most versatile of creatures. Her executive ability has carried us over many rough places, for she is always ready. to lend a helping hand wherever it is needed. She -is a wonder in all her studies, Latin especially, and her musical ability is nothing short of marvelous, for did she not compose a complete symphony for the Senior Day banquet last year? Twice we almost lost her, but neither the charms of co-ed life' nor the dread germs of typhoid could 'Ndaunt her. She always came back to ,nineteen fourteen, a class which could never think of graduating without her.

Why does she haunt the library? Because she intends to devote her many talents to dispensing knowledge and infor- mation from behind a librarian's desk. A most versatile lady is Anne. She has won renown in many fields, from Y. VV. C. A. cabinet, and the Western Oxford staff, to the presidency of Round Table Club. We grudge her to the big world she lleaves us for, but we are proud to have known her. i ,il 32 MARGARET GOLDTHWAITE, Marion, Indiana Agora, President of Class, '11-'12, Mathe- matics Clubg Glee Club, Choir, Basket Ball team, '11-'13, Athletic Captain, '14, VVestern welcomed Margaret five years ago, and she has been continuing her steady dignified gait through its halls ever since. Though it was not in accord with her natur- ally calm disposition to jangle daily with Lady Teazle, yet she portrayed the char- acter of ,Sir Peter most admirably. A fine student, a true friend, and a most. dependable person generally is our Margaret. HALLIE DAVIS, Marion, Indiana Agora, Annual Board, '12-'18, Secretary Y. W. C.

Hallie has done quietly and Welfl everything given her to dog' she has been the friend of all, and, as House Chairman, has endeared herself to all the girls under her charge. 33 LENA FERN ARMSTRONG, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa Agora Fern is an adopted daughter of Western, but We all love her even if she is guilty of such inconsistencies as an Irish nose and a classical mind. It is a mystery how such a small and innocent-looking girl can know so much. But when Professor Peabody asks her, How are all the syllogisms and the little premises this morning? We sit back and listen as she brings all the undistributed middles and illicit majorsi' up to be in- troduced. MARGARET WERTZ, Miamisburg, Ohio Round Table, Western Oxford Board, '12- '13g Y. W. C.

She has laughed herself into people's hearts with Junior play, and played into them with her melodies. She has piloted the Western Oxford through one of its most successful years, and bids fair to push any- thing to success with her energy. Her motto must be 'go.

The little girl with the bobbing curl has acquired academic appointmentsf, and addi- tion, she has become the dignified Senior President of the class of 1914, to whom she has given a year of untiring energy.

Although Mary is house chairman, it is not by means of the big stick that she in- spires terror in the hearts of the girls. A calm, even temper, a sympathetic interest in us all, and a heart that is always, in her Work, whatever her Work maybe, are three characteristics that have made her the' master of any situation, Whether it be the care and guidance of her sister class, over a hundred strong, the chaperonage of Brick-bat Al- ley, ' or assisting in the Harmony classes. Her new accomplishments in basket ball have finished the production. of an all-around, iniiuential college woman. 35 MABEL SMITH, Hillsboro, Ohio I I Dlanthian Club HAZEL MYERS, Dayton, Ohio Round Table, Y.

A Hazel is one of the smallest Seniors in physique, and one of the largest in accom- plishments. She is capable of filling any position, ,be it Junior class president, or a member of the Senior Basket Ball Team. Her winning manner and her quiet dignity have won for her our love and respect.

That, however, is only a tempo- rary and periodic feeling, for We will always think of her as one of our most dependable girls whose service is always given in time of need, and as a thorough and conscientious student, who is ever staunch and true to her Alma Mater. . S 36 N CLARA SHELDON, Granville, Ohio Agora V T Tillie made a wise decision when she decided to graduate from The Western' in- stead of from Denison University. Since she came, she has endeared herself' to all of us, for who can resist Tillie's giggle When it is heard from morning to night? She is always happy, isa good student, and we know she will be a success in whatever line of work her heart', takes her. ' NORAH SPRAGUE, Lima, Ohio Agora, Class Treasurer, '13-'14, Basket Ball Team, '12-'13, '13-'14, Norah is one of the budding dramatic stars of the Senior class. She has not, however, confined her talents to the stage, but has taken a prominent place on the Athletic field. From such strenuous activi- ties let us turn to her mental proclivities. Norah is majoring in Math for mental exer- cise. An all-round, symmetrically developed product of Western is Norah! 37 RUTH MAVITY, Paoli, Indiana Round Table, Secretary of Class, '13-'14, President of Science Club, '13-'14, Y. W. C. A.

The entire class, who are nothing if not daring, took the step, and went to join Socr-ates in the realm of the blessed. And now, as our shadowy 'forms flit about in the twilight of Hades, lit only by the sunlight of our daffodil banner, naught is left for us to do but to? recount those deeds which we performed when dwellers on the grosser earth. 'Tis whispered that even this joy may be taken from us, for the powers that be have judged these deeds worthy of immortality, and elevated to such a degree of eternal life, that they can never remain in Hades with us. Until the sad day comes when our deeds must leave us, and return to the upper'world, we shall stilil graciously entertain such common folk as Achilles and Caesar with tales of exploits greater than they ever performed. l As we recounted the tales of the victory of the Knights of the Daffodil Shield over the leal Order of the Violet Banner on the great battle-field of Miami which came to pass College Day, nineteen hundred and eleven, Richard Coeur de Lion's shade turned grey with envy and betook himself where ilesser warriors -held sway. Thrilling to the tale, we told in impassioned language of the way in which we had captured all hearts by our winsome ways at the party the Juniors gave us. Then enthralled by the noble deeds of our Freshman year, our silhouettes became a deep black as we worked up to the great climax of Tree Day. Again, as Queens of Love and Beauty, we won the admiration of all eyes in our Tree Day drill, and who wiill say that until the advent of the swimming pool, our gift to the college upon that great day was not the greatest boon ever bestowed upon such an institution, for what has greater joy-giving properties than a rope swing? At this point in our tale Charlemagne drily remarked that our nerve was only equalled by our conceit. Fearing that he might not be in tune to the harmony of our Freshman year, we hastened on, undaunted, to greater tales of Sophomore prowess. The shades of the great shades of the merry-makers of ancient days crowded about and listened as we told of the barn-dance we gave the Seniors. Cleopatra wailed, VVhat are pearls melted in vinegar, when compared to pop corn dropped into cider? Ah, that was a night which indeed deserves to live forever. Then, College Day! Again we won the contest, this time against the Knights of the Sweet Pea as the mighty pageant which appeared that night testified. Nobly we strove to do battle with the unexpected circumstances which arose throughout, the year. Finally, because of our love and loyalty for our sister class, we were judged worthy of becoming elder sisters ourselves, and passed into our Junior year. Our Junior year! The happiest year yet in our lives. How tenderly we watched over our small sisters! How sadly we saw the Senior advisers take the lawful place of the loyail Juniors, yet like true Western daughters, we submitted to the inevitable, and contented ourselves with daffodil greetings and- ai party to our little Dutch Freshmen. Then how delightedly we plunged into Junior play, and soon our conversation made a quick transit from 'twentieth century slang .to sixteenth century King's English. Our Junior play was typical of the change which had come in us. For, in fact, we stood ass lofty heroes, delighting in war and uproar, scorning conquest, but as Juniors, civilization having had its way - , 41 , ' n with us, we left off most of our wild ways, and have learned to live where dwell harmony, law, and order. Alas, the last remnant of our wild ways, our daring, has sent us to this dismal land, where fate may mean us to remain forever. Still happy and busy as ever, we have continued the Psychic research begun at dear old Western, and now, purged of all dross, we Hit around as silhouettes of our former selves. ' I But see! .A messenger approaches. Great'Pluto commands you to relinquish your deeds that they may return once more to live in the upper world. VVhat can Hades now mean to us without our deeds?

The good time that Y. W.,that night, Gave them, tears and homesickness put to fiight. But ah, next morn when dom slipsn went .around Their feet returned at once to solid ground. At sound of bell, to chapel they did go, Oh, what a sight! Before them was a row Of Academic beings, capped and gowned, At first their admiration was profound. But second thought-to these they must recite Each day-was ever mortal's terror quite So great? Then through each long hymn did they weep Their eyes cast on their hymn books they did keep, The Western College, tho renowned in fame C 54 Was nothing like the place from whence they came. But soon invited by their sister class Their dignity to lay aside-as lass And laddie dressed-all evening they did play, And would not think that they could be so gay.

Howe'er, it came at last. Gne more term of our college life had passed, And truly now to Western, Spring had come And with the balmy days there had begun Long trips to Violet Bank. All o'er our campus green The girls in their light dresses could be seen. No longer did the rising bell's harsh sound Call us to duty, but from all around The songs of birds, their notes so soft and sweet Each morn, us waking bright and early greet. Indeed, 'twas gre-at joy just to be alive And have ideals toward which we e'er could strive. In May, to all the Freshmen's great delight, The Browns our class to picnic did invite. Of things so good to eat we had our fill And much we practiced on our Tree Day drill. Soon came that ilong-looked-forward-to Tree Day, When we our precious Hag first did display. How proud we were to see it hanging there Tossing so proudly in the balmy air. , Once more did time resume its passing sway, And with it brought that once much-looked-for day, VVhen we should leave these wondrous halls of learning A 56 Lntil next fall, as Sophomores, returning Oui June exams now oe1, we bade goodbye Though glad to go, twas not without a sigh And Western wished good luck to every lass And to them all, the next vear s Sophomoie class, VVhen we came back--not homesick and foilorn This time, but as Sophnomores so gay, Well armed and leady to begin the fray With Chem, and History, Bible Essay Il And other things the Sophomores have to do And now twas time for us to entertain Our sister class Each one did rack her b1a1n To think up something new, and may If say That when the brains of fifty Sophomores gay T r 3 P J 7 ,N 1 Again it was a bright September morn ' .

Lovely the colors which they wore that day, But what can e'er surpass the rose and gray? Exams in bleak November had no fear As they had done this time last year. ' With flying colors through them all we came, Thus adding to our intellectual fame. We were the hostesses Thanksgiving Day, And more than once the guests were heard to say What a great big success that banquet Was, As is just everything which that class does.

Mid-year exams began, but soon were o'er, For these we crammed till we could cram no more. VVe learned the names of ancient lsrael's kings 57 And many other very useful things. Now Senior Day once more appeared in sight. The Senior class in collars stiff and white VVaited their speaker, but no speaker came. At Cottage Grove he waited on the train. Senior reception-no long line this year Down which to pass, our knees shaking with fear We had such fun that when it all was o,er, VVe wished that of receptions there were more. Tree Day came, the Freshman flag was raised, The banner green and white is greatly praised. But, ah, indeed, surely no one can say, That green and white surpass the rose and gray. And truly now our Sophomore days are numbered. With cares of Juniors soon we'll be encumbered, For Spring to Western has returned once more. The violets and wild flowers all o'er Our campus beautiful may now be seen. Is it two years ago, since we, as Freshmen green, Came here? So while we may Sophomores still be Happy and gay and from all care so free, ' Hereis wishing luck to every single lass, :And to us all, the present Sophomore class. if It V.

We were each' one met at the door uponiarrival, and were rushed wildly by excited girls through endiless corridors, lined with trunks, and up numberless flights of stairs, only to be pushed breathlessly into a room. It took a great deal of-rushing on their parts, as this was, for us, a novel experience and we were apt to allow our glances to fall through every open door in order to be sure not to miss anything. I think, however, everyone will agree that we do not require any rushing now, as we have been on a tear ever since. The first few days were spent mostly in digging up long-forgotten ancestors from their graves, and in finding out that the long lost cousin of Sally, the girl next door, was a great grand uncle of Lucie. But it didnit take us long to get acqutainted. and soon we were taken for upper-classmen, so great had our assurance become, or as some might say, so great was our freshness. - Scarcely had we become accustomed to our surroundings, when we began making preparations for College Day. This day is a day for Freshmen, as it is then that they display, for the first time, their class colors. A basket ball game between the Freshmen and Sophomores introduced by stunts, is an important part of College Day. As our stunt was to be an essential feature of the day, we worked enthusiastically preparing for it untifl the last moment. The long-looked for day dawned bright and clear. We were very happy with our aunts and uncles and cousins who came to help us celebrate. After an excellent chapel address, we went to the beech woods to enjoy our lunch and to' have a general jubilee. This was followed by the basket ball game. As a fitting entrance for our team, we put them into a huge, yellow pumpkin and ushered them on to the field on a wagon drawn by grey mice, which were guided by a fairy god-mother, and followed by a host of black cats. Of course, the Freshmen won, and the team was escorted from the field on the shoulders of their fellow classmates. For several days after this, a Freshman could easily be recognized by the self-satisfied strut she had acquired because of her recent importance. The next thing to disturb, somewhat, our equilibrium, was the November ex- aminations, but this equilibrium was soon regained and we came from the examina- tions joyful and triumphant, feeling that we had successfully met the first test of our scholarship, and more than this, that we were truly candidates for matricula- tion. A The Freshman play came as a forerunner of Thanksgiving, so we immediately went to work to discover the Julia Marlowesn of the Freshman class. We worked faithfully and unceasingly, never stopping until after the final curtain fellf How- ever, we ,felt that we were weill rewarded for our work when we were treated to a splendid Thanksgiving banquet on the next day. W We worked hard until December seventeenth at which time Christmas vaca- tion began. lt is needless to say that we enjoyed ourselves to the utmost, butiwhat pleasure there was in the happy reunion after vacation! Many of us were home- 62 sick, to be sure, but we plunged quickly 11f1tO work-yes-plunged into. the whirl pool of mid-years Although the examinations had been a dreaded ordeal, yet most of us came forth smiling cheerfully truly, we were able to understand that blue books were in compilnnent to our dispositions Blue, indeed, is an appropriate color It expressed the true feelings of many Since then, things have gone along smoothly and quletlv giving us a breathing space in iwhich to look forward to Senior Day Then our dear Seniors would assume the dignity of caps and gowns Senior Day did not come unattended, as there was- an exceedingly heavy snow-storm, which so delayed the tiains that our speaker of the day was unable to arrive But we were given the opportunity of hearing Dean Sa-wyer speak the words of encouragement to the Seniors There- fore, in spite of the delay, the exercises were a decided success We cannot tell what the future holds for us, but taking our past victories as an example, I think We can rest assured that the class 'inf 1917 will scale the dizzy 0 - . . -a L - . u u , 4 . . - . . . . .

'Q General Subiect. japan Round Table has spent a very interesting year in the study of Japan. lliiss Libby started out with an illustrated lecture, a per- sonally conducted tour through the lWilzado's land. Following this came the subject of the development of Japan since its opening in 1856. Then we heard how the Japanese live, of their dress, food, houses, as well as of their amusements and festivals. The customs and ethics of the country made interesting-comparisons with those of our land. aThe religions and superstitions ofa Japan, Shintoism and Buddhism showed us that side of the Japanese. A Japanese tea was served one evening in Japanese style, and Japanese games were played by members in Japanese costumes.. The surrnundings and environment made one think that it Was really Japan With America far removed. An interesting evening was spent with Ullfadam Butterfly, impersonated by llliss Kent and Emmy Dax. Altogether, the year has been a very profitable one for the Club in the increase 'of its knowledge as to how the other half livesf, 71 .ms uw. 1 A .NM 1' .Ili-fQ,....x A . f v - . jg , , , VN W L, .f -.

Current Even ts. 73 Diambian Klub For a long time it has been felt that the Round Table and Agora Clubs were not enough to meet the literary needs of the college. Only eighty out of over two hundred students could have the ad- vantages which a literary society gives. Early last fall the faculty chose a committee of the girls not in one of the other clubs and gave them the opportunity of being the charter members of a New Club. Of course, they all accepted, and invitations were sent out. The charter committee consisted of: i y ' Helen Ashby Louise Fischer ' Martha Gothard lllarion Merica ' Louise llliller Harriet Rice Hazel Richardson Filizabeth Sharp Mabel Smith Marianne Tate Florence Vance 1 A constitution was drawn up and a program for the year decided upon and officers elected. For a time the club was known simply as the New Club but it soon selected the significant name Dian- thian, which is the Greek for Flower of Zeus, or culture. in its highest and broadest sense, an ideal toward which to strive. Q The program this year includes current events, both foreign and domestic, and some phase' of American art at each meeting. The programs have all been both interesting and instructive. So far, the Dianthian has amply justified its being brought into existence. The other clubs consider it as one of them, nor is itlooked on as a new- comer, in spite of the fact that it is more often spoken of as -the uNew Club instead of being called by its more dignified name. 74 Che Science Zlub This year, the Science Club has met every tWo Weeks for the discussion of scientific matters. Papers from the various Depart- ments of' Physics, Chemistry, and Biology were given, and reports of current scientific Writings kept the members informed on modern scientific discoveries. One evening, a talk Was given by llir. Haynes on Stellite. This Was a very instructive and entertaining not r spent in the realm of chemistry.

In the morn- ing the flags were raised to float above the pines, the Seniorfs for the last time, the Freshman's for the first. There was no end of singing and enthusiastic demonstrations. Of course Mr. Snyder, the photog- rapher, took pictures of everything. We have even heard that a moving picture machine came out to photograph our morning festivities. , Q In the afternoon the formal part of TreeDay began. The first surprise was the Freshmen who came marching. up the drive, rather than from the halls, for their pretty butterfly dance. After this dance or drill, the thousands of guests assembled on the bleachers to hear the Senior play, which was the Alkestis'7 of Euripides. The drama was remarkably well acted as many authorities will testify. Its dignity and classic beauty was of the utmost inspiration. Then came the ceremony whence Tree Day derives its name- the planting of the Freshman tree. An academic procession was formed which led around over the lawns -to a tree near Alumnae Hall. However, the tree was adopted instead of planted. 'EdnaStark adopted it for the class, lVIargaret 'Hughes gave the original class poem, and Harriet Rice dedicated the tree. Last came the cere- monies at the Senior tree by the class of 1913. The postponed drill in inauguration came in the evening. The firefly lantern drill preceded the speeches ofthe old and new league presidents. A folk dance before the president's throne was a fitting ending for this festive day of the sixteenth of May. , . But I am' sure that the Senior class -would be offended if I did not mention the farewell performance of 'c.Iulius Caesar. This lamentable utragedyl' 'was given as an indoor substitute when the League Drill was postponed on account of the rain. 92 Che Step Exercises One of the novel events of commencement Week is the step eX- ercise of the Senior class. The class all gather on the steps of Alumnae Plall and entertain their friends With songs, clever hits, and fond recollections, intermingled With valuable bits of advice from their fund of Wisdom. The most interesting proceeding is the read- ing of the last will and testament of the class. ltlany and various' are the bequests to the friends from Whom they are so soon to be parted. For instance, a subscription to the Ladies' I-Iome Journal is left to a member of the faculty Whose love for that magazine is a minus quantity. A cape Which had descended from a 1910 girl to a 1913 girl is in turn handed down to a younger sister of 1915. A touch of sadness is cast over the scene When the Seniors take off their caps and govvns and place them upon the incoming Senior class. We realize how very soon they Will be laying them aside and leaving us. Never- theless, our memorysof the step exercises of the- class of 1913 will always be a happy one. - L 93 GOIIQQQ DZIV On College Day, October the fourteenth, the class of nineteen seventeen made their debut into Weste1'n life. All nature combined to do honor .to this, the largest Freshman class in the history of the VVestern College. The beautiful green of the outside world was reflected in the green ribbons, which, worn With a streamer of white, signified that they were an organized class, andan integral part of VVestern life. After a very interesting address in the morning by Professor Edward Cary Hayes, Pl1.D., of the University of Illinois, all ad- journed to the Beech Woods where class songs in honor of the Fresh- men claimed the attention until the picnic dinner was served. At the close of this most delightful meal, llliss Helen Green, as a representative of the class of 1913, gave a report of the members of that well remembered class. The arrival of queerly-dressed people, who disappeared behind screens at the foot of the hill, attracted the people to that spot. Soon all were laughing merrily over the Sopho- more stunt, alseries of dramatic sketches, Lord Ullin's Daughter, Saturday Evening at VVestern, and The Delectable Fortunes of Blary Jane. l The most exciting event of the day was still to come, however, and all hurried to the basket ball field to await the coming of the Freshmen. ' Could that long line of black cats and grey mice, gayly about, and pulling behind them a biggreen and yellow pumpkin, be our demure little Freshmen? Yes, it must be, for when the line, gayly singing Look at the bunch of big black cats, Nleow, llleowf' had reached the center of the field, the pumpkin opened and the Freshman team jumped out. Amid much excitement, manifested in enthusiastic cheering, a hard fought game between the -Sophomores and Freshmen began. Interest in its outcome did not abate until the final whistle was blown, and a score of 141 to 9 in favor of the Freshmen was announced. Between halves of the basket ball game, Juniors and Seniors, supported by crutches and canes, with wrists and heads bandaged, and signs signifying weak hearts pinned upon them, amused the spectators with a spirited game of croquet. The annual basket ball dinner in the evening and a serenade by the Freshmen was a pleasant culmination to a very happy day. 94 Senior:Sopbomore Party j Uctober fourth-a day of parties and mysteries. Was ever a class so clever as the Sophomores? In the New Hall, dining room a delicious dinner was served--that was good for the clamouring appetiteg then a journey .down to the Oxford Nickelo to see Hand- some Hal rescue the fair fainting Flossie or the Blissing Hain Bone, and to hear a divine contralto sing, HO, You Beautiful Dollf'-that was food for thoughtg then refreshments at the Chocolate Shop-that was food enough for all, and added just the fiavor needed to make the evening a most enjoyable one for both hostesses and guests. juniorgmsbman Party y My Little Dutch Freshmen, Weire glad to have you here. We love you better than sausages, Sauer-kraut and beer! This was the chorusqwhich greeted the Freshmen at the Junior's Dutch party, which initiated them into VVestern society. The Freshmen were dressed as Pop and Mom and all the kids as they came upon the wharf of Amsterdam in Alumnae Hall. From here they went over-and off--the Rotterdam bridge and sailed across the Liepsig. At Amsterdam they found Dutch interiors and Cubist portraits. After such a wonderful tour they were glad to ascend to the beer-garden in the art rooms. Here ginger-ale and pretzels were liberally bestowed underneath the statues of Aphrodite and Artemis dressed for the occasion a la Mrs. Katzenjammer. Near here a Virginia reel held sway to the music of a near Ysaye. When all from the Herr Direktor to the Dean had been refreshed with the sparkling ale, the Dutch families emigrated to the lecture room. It did take a long time there for the Dutch orchestra to get tuned up, but when it did, a sprightly Dutch chorus cavorted in and a musical comedy straightway began. It ended with a thuse,' meeting for the Freshmen in anticipation of the Colilege Day Game. The Grand Finale was Cheer up? our'Freshmen dear, cheer up! cheer up! Cheer up! V You,ll make the Sophomores feel so blue-oh so blue VVe'll stake our lives on your winning in this game And our good luck go with you! 95 Ballowewn l Even if there Were many rules and regulations in regard to fancy costumes, they in no Wise detracted from the grand effect of the evening frolic When each of the tables entered in fearful and Won- derful costumes. The greatest sensations this year Were the Peter Pan table, and The Cave of the Forty Thieves. The dining room Was converted into a magnificent land of enchantment. In one corner Was an Indian tribe, in another Mrs. Wiggs and her cabbage patch family. Here were living advertisements, herenwere skeletons, and there was a troop of maidens representing uyesterday, today, and hereafterf, One table sang an Indian lullaby Which Well contrasted With' AleXander's Rag Time Band which noisily entered later. After the jollification the 'Cmotley crew Went out to dance about a glorious bonfire Which Was blazing in the court. All the shades returned to join the rout, .And creatures of old to dance about. But in the -midst the night watchman stood To rake up leaves and throw on Wood. - 96 CIDGIIKSQIWIIQ HZIIIQIIQI MENU Grape Fruit G Celery Olives Asparagus in Timbals Roast Turkey ' V Cranberry .I elly Mashed Potatoes Dressing ,I Pineapple Salad Pumpkin Pie hlinoe Pie Cheese V Nuts lVIints TOASTS ' A Trip to Europe u The Guide Book. . . .................... . . . .llliss Libby Cork .........................................

This year we were given a wonderful evening on the Sun- ' - - h f hundred day before we went home when Mr. LeBa1on conducted a c orus 0 one and fifty members in a Christmas music recital. On the night before, we had the usual Christmas dinner parties at the individual tables. There, the candle light- and snowfsprinkled Christmas trees called up all the happy associations of Yule Tide. After dinner we had a Christmas tree in the chapel where we sang carols and heard Christmas stories. ' A Next morning, just at day-break, we were awakened by the Christmas carols of the Glee Club. ,Chapel service on that Sunday morning was unforgetable, the music being of the highest inspiration. I - A In the evening the chorus sang folk songs of the Noel,' and concluded with Gounodis Sing to God your hymns of gladnessf' The great inspiration which we received from our Y. VV. C. A, and class prayer meetings so filled us with the blessed Christmas spiritf' that we could not but have the happiest, cheeriest vacation that we had ever known. St. Ualentinvs Dav Valentine, this year appeared All clad in snow-white cloak and beard, Laden down with hearts aiiame, - E'en more than the VVorsted Mani' could claim. Never was a night so gay, Tables decked in bright array, In and out the missiles flew, Notes of love and billets-doux. Every lady there was won. Dan Kewpie bravely played his part, . And captured many a fluttering heart, Young and old oined in the fun. 98 CIR HINQIIC HSSOCIZIIIOII DGIICQ The new gymnaslum was the scene of a festive dance on the night of Januaiy eleventh lt was fitting and applopriate that the 1'i1st big dance VVestern ever gave 0 0 A' . o, . Q 1 . ' . - . Q should be given in our new building, the pride of our hearts. The big Hoor was' cleared, and benches all along the walls were covered with bright colored cushions for the comfort of those who wished to view their more frivolous friends. A , H k It was with a positive thrilfl that we heard the opening chords by the piano and lined up for the Grand March. Our Dean honored us and the occasion by leading it with the president of the Association, Eleanore Holliday. After they had led us through several intricate mazes, we marched down the center of the Hoor in couples to receive our blue and white programs. The pianist swung into a waltz, and the dance was on. The fun waxed fast and furious as the numbers progressed. The volunteer pianists were imbued with the spirit of the occasion, and dance followed dance in rapid succession. The punch bowl in the corner was usually surrounded by thirsty VVesternites, and it was not the least popular of the features of the evening. Like all good things, the dance had to end, but it is not ended in our memories. VV e who had the opportunity of participating in the first Athletic Association dance will not soon forget it. 99 SQMOI' Dall rm, Therefore we hope that the 1914 Senior Day The third time is the cha will be the third and last one to go ag Gy come on the 22nd of February, and Jupiter Pluvious for two years has also arrived in his whitest disguise just in time to prevent the speaker-to-be from 1'C211iZiUg Per' haps one of the greatest moments of his life--that of addressing a Senior Class at Western at that moment' when they for the first time formally begin to ilook like 1 K' Senior Day is so accommodating as to candidates for a Bachelor of Arts degree. Last year Fate stepped in before Jupiter and afflicted the speaker with tonsilitis. If it weren't for numerous telegrams and conversations over the telephone we who have been here for three years would have lost faith in the reality of a Senior Day Speaker long ago. At the banquet, how- ever, we are always consoled, for the traditional Senior song is sung, To travel faithfully is more than to arrive at the goal, which strangely applies to the speaker and guests, somewhere in a snow-bound and slow-bound C., H. 8: D. train. On Senior Day the class in caps and gowns make a formal entrance into chapel, headed by the president of the Sophomore class. Then it is that an address is given them. In 'the afternoon comes a jolly banquet. But Senior Day of 19145 was slightly altered from this traditional program on account of the aforesaid snow- bound trains, though none of its distinction was lost. No classes marched forth with flowing colors to see their elder sister come forth in all her dignity. Instead the Junior banquet for the Seniors came early and there was no ceremony at all. At high noon the Dean and the Senior president ,led the way into the llarge dining room in Peabody Hall. The room was darkened with the beautiful, big class flags of violet, daffodil, and sweet pea shades. Other- wise the Senior colors of two shades of violet were carried out everywhere, blending from the royal purple wrappings- of the pillars to the delicate candle shades. Smilax trailed the length of the tables set with bowls of violets. During the courses college patriotism flamed high, and besides the special songs, to the Seniors all the good old songs were sung by all to Alma Mater. Dean Sawyer was toast-mistress, or according to The Battle Line order of the day, Commander-in-chief. The first to address the troops was Brigadier Gen- eral, Dr. Harcum, who told us that each member of the faculty in her day played many parts, so why not the soldier? Katharine Neptune of the Freshman class, 21180 P1'0fI1if1C1'1t fOr playing many parts, spoke for the infantry and defended Tommy Atkins vigorously. The daring scouts saluted next, and Rhea Blake told about many thrilling adventures in the realm of science. The enthusiastic class, the Juniors, were known as the Cavalry, and Dorotea Powell was the gallant SP0kCSH131f1- All last the fine sharp-shooters were reviewed, and how proud they 100 1 were ofbtheir new uniforms. Frances Orr, the Senior president, gave a fine response and toasted Alma Mater :- The tumult and the shouting die, The captain and the men depart. Still stands the ancient fortress there For every loving, loyal heart. Our Alma Mater with us yet, Lest we forget! Lest we forget! The banquet was all the jollier for the snow-storm outside. In vain did we Wait all that night and the next day for the speaker to come. At noon we learned that Fate sent him back whence he had come. However, in spite of the gods and the weather it was our duty to give this class a good send-off, so, on an hour's notice, we underclassmen put on our official togas of white and streaming ribbons, and the Seniors donned their stiffs, caps, and gowns, and most serious expression. We marched in singing the League Song, and Roberta Constant, president of 1913, led in the twenty erstwhile sharp-shooters-the ever famous and clever class of nineteen fourteen. How distinguished they all looked from Norah and Emmy to Eleanor and Mavity ! After the Senior Hymn, Dean Sawyer read an address, her manner quite atoning for the absence of the unknown speaker. The Freshmen who had matriculated were also formally announced. That night the Juniors surprised the Seniors with a dinner in Peabody Hafll. The college orchestra played for them, and the Juniors yelled for them. It all ended with the songs for which the Seniors will always be famous for having written: O-o-oh, the Senior Maidnl and Ten Men at the Gatef' Thereafter the twenty little maids went out to the pool for an exclusive Senior frolic and surely they deserved it. va 5 I 101 I . 1 SCIUOI' RQCQPUOII V Senior reception was the most elaborate and formal social event ' 1 l 3 I l Q of the year. It was given by the college in honor of the Senior class, who received many guests. Dean Sawyer, Frances Orr, Emmy Dax, Sylvia Davis, Hallie Davis, and Diary Kyle received in the first line which was in Faculty Parlor. The other Seniors stood in in- formal lines in other parlors. The chapel was transformed into a large room artistically appointed with flowers, plants, and screens. Here a harpist played beautiful selections during the evening. The serv- ing table was decorated with violets, the Senior flowers. In the Dean's Parlor the Freshmen served punch. , There were more guests to receive than usual. A few guests were from out of town, but the majority were from Bliami Univer- sity, Oxford College, and town. p The Seniors were charmingly gowned and wore beautiful flowers. 102 1 I v 4 4 i I .

I ak , ' 1 . . 126 .L Uiolmws Dream It was a midsummer's night and Violetta had not decided. Her decision lay between going abroad, to study at a strangeris expense, or in going back to her uncle's country home for the rest of her life. Nor was it strange that she did not immediately choose the first alternative, for strong ties were balancing the weights as well as ambition. The late twilight was darkening as she sat in the window looking out into the gardens of this strangerfs beautiful home. Beautiful, yet not mine, she thought. Shall I be a coward and run back to my quiet rest, or face the outer world, showing what a country girl can do? -Will.tliat be deserting my kin, or helping them? I do not want to forfeit my old delights, and yet I do not want to be weak before such an opportunityfi . The stars were coming out, and that quieted the struggle for a while. Below, the windows were open, and a song floated from them out into the garden. Oh, white clematis weather! The breezes sang to the hours, In the cool eve together s The night breeze, drifting the Howers. - VVe saw the Pleiades' pale bloom, ,Love and the stars together ' A spray against the sky. Loomed high against our sky. My love, I had forgotten v Tilll white clematis bloomed . And honeysuckle hedges I Beneath the evening sky. Violetta had fallen asleep., 1 The moon and the Pleiades had almost set when a gray figure blew into the is known among the hills. In her long, chamber. It was the Violet Lady, as she shadowy hair, violets were looped, and her Her mission was to bring Violetta back to garments had been swirled by the wind. her uncleis garden. She travels only in the dawn, and this is her song, which she sang then: . , Breath of violets, chill of dawn- Drcam! Dream! Vlfhispering, whispering o'er the lawn, Dream! Dream! CThe stars shine bright, And the moon, a little before dawn, w Gives a lightj , VVhisper, whisper, in the night time. Things are lovelier than they seem. Dream! Dream! The sun will rise p And take! the dawn chill away, And things too lovely for the day. a Ah-h-h! Goes the dawn breeze over the earth. p Violetta stirred, for in her dreams she heard the old dawn song again. Then 127 - , I l l the Violet Lady knew that it was the time to plead f01' Violetta to come back. Bending, over her with long, obscuring tresses, and slender arms a-poise, she brought back into Violetta,s dreams all the allurernents of her garden far away. This is what she said in her dim whispers. if The poplar trees at the gate as tall and aloof like still-eyed maidens. No one knows what spirits are theirs! Passion flowers- are falling over the old, old, 'iron fence, the ivy is hidden on the stones beneath. Now the moon is hiding behind the tips of the highest branches. Ah! there a leaf obscures a star. But under the bush-shadows are curly grasses. The great house shadows, too, have crept as far as the stile. Which stiile? The one overgrown with currant bushes by the little arbor. The tall, red flowers are dusky. All around, the white Queen-Anne's lace is soiled, but overtopped with dainty sprays of goldenrod of unripe yellow. The little noises shouting through the night come from the dark of the syringas, near where the brown butterflies love to bask on the lilac leaves. And over beyond the tall sunilowers, beyond the holly-hook 'ladies and the long rose-hedge-are the hills. The big hills, Violetta, are forested, and little hills are wet with rnosses and masses of herbs, as sweet as flowers. Come back, Violetta, for all thy life we hillls will call thee! For they are the castles where your brothers andisisters dwell, and I, the Violet Lady, and all the wind-brothers. You are ours, no matter how much you dance and sing, no matter how hard you work and aill. These things will not make you forget us. In spring, thelanemones down in the gray lights of the rocks and holilows, will call. In the autumn the cloudy heights and treetops will call. In the summer what wet meadows. iAnd, in the winter, always, always, thou shalt hear the callings of thy lonely brothers and sisters .out in the hills-'Violetta, come back'. At this Violetta sprang up from her sleep. The Violet Lady had vanished, but in her place were the breath of violets and the chill of dawn. She resolved to go out for a last, ilonely, revel in the dawn. Bare-footed, with falling hair, wrapped in an old blue gown and long grayshawl, she swiftly found her way out-of-doors into the dawn. ' It was still early when her enterprising cousin found her coming out into the dewy walks, for the second time that morning, little like the other Violetta, in her conventional garb. Violetta, he said, why in the world did you go to bed S0 S0011 13313 night? I had the best news to tell you, that you ever heard in your Elife. But I came just too late, so could hardly wait till this morning to tell you. It's set to sail for Italy. Think of that, will you, coz,+Italy! Hurrah! Weill go together, and we'll never come back, for once there we will make our fame and fortune. Italy! Beautiful, Old, inspiring Italy! Of Course, we'll sail next monthf' A pause.

Yes, dear, in a minute, answered Mrs. Wood, laying down her sewing and coming out on the front porch to meet her daughter, her face lighting UP with interest, O how pretty they are, was her involluntary exclamation as one after another of the delicate fabrics was drawn forth. Priscilla was more and more lost in admiration until at last there was a piece of lovely yellow crepe, just what she wanted, no matter what else might be'forthco1ning. Yes, I think so, too, her mother said, nodding indulgently as Priscilla held the yellow material against her dark hair. That will make just the kind of dress you will need for the more formal affairs at college this winter. Letis run down to Miss Moore's right away and plan how we'll have it made,', Mrs.' Wood ended enthusiastically, rising from her chair. Miss Moore was the village autocrat and dictated firmly in regard to all questions of fashion in the small village of Centerville. She did sewing for all the best people in the village, saving the same certain time to sew for each person from year to year, without even the formality of a request, it being such a thor- oughly established custom. In the fall she made over the black silks of the village and in the spring, muslin gowns were her specialty. Just now she was engaged in making the dresses which Priscilla VVood needed before going away for her Fresh- man year in College. I 4 O, let's not go now. It's too hot,', objected Priscilla. And anyway, I'd rather plan the dress myself, she continued. I'm tired of having Miss Moore make all my things just -the wayvshe wants them and never pay any attention to what I want. Don't you suppose I could have a dressmaker in the city make just this one dress for me? finished Priscilla in her most pleading tone. 'KWhy, Priscilla VVood! Miss Moore would be offended if she knew that you even thought of such a thingf' ' I don't care- if she would, affirmed Priscilla. She's been using the same skirt pattern for me 'ever since I was fourteen and I would like a change in this dress. Please, mother,', she begged, do let me have it made in the city. 'fWell, Priscilla, I've heard of people before you who have tried to get their ownjway with Miss Moore, answered Mrs. Wood with a smile, but I never have known them to be very successful. Miss Moore is expecting to make this dress for you, you know, and I donit know how' you would go about getting her out of the notion. A 'fShe's making some other dresses for me, and I don't see why she should care just for this onef' . I think if you should ask, you would find out thatshe would care. And- what's more to the point, she would probably not listen to you. Indeed she would listen to me, affirmed Priscilla. That is, if you'l3l say I can do it, mother. I'm not a bit afraid to tell her. - 130 All right, I don't care, answered Mrs. lVood. But here's your father. Ask him what he thinks about it. Don't want to have Miss Moore make your dress? Why, that's funny. I thought she made 'em for everybody here,', was Mr. Wood's surprised comment. It doesnit make any difference to me, but I'm rather inclined to share your mother's views as to the ineflicacy of protest in any case where Miss Moore is concerned. Well,' I'm just going to show you people that I can assert my independence, answered Priscilla, who had seen her mother give her father an amused glance, and who was becoming rather indignant by this time. I'm goingup to Miss. Moore's immediately and inform her of my decisionf, she finished in her most dignified manner, as she started down the front steps. It was only a short walk to Miss Moore's, and Priscilla soon found herself in the tiny dressmaking shop. After the usual preliminaries and inquiries as to how her mother was today, and if she had alliher peaches cannedf' had been duly gone through with, Priscilla somewhat nervously broached the subject of her visit. I came to talk to you about my party dress, Miss Moore-that is, I came to tell you that I donit like to-don't want to bother you with it just nowf' she ended abruptly. This was not at all the beginning she had planned. I Yes, it is a bother, this hot weather especially, to work on sillk, but I want. you to have it made and made real nice, too, so I guess I'll do it for you,,' was Miss Moore's reply. - A V To Priscilla's protest that she 'wouldnit have her do it for anything during the warm weather, Miss Moore answered, I've sewed warmer weather than this, Priscilla, and I haven't had any sunstroke yet. I guess I'll be able to live through it. Have you decided oniyour goods yet P she inquired. - Yes, I'm going to get a piece of yellow crepe from the city, was all Priscilila could say. Q VVell, when you and your mother go to the city to get the goods, I wish youyd notice how the new skirts are made, and if you see any of those draped skirts they're talking so much about in the magazines, be sure to see whether they hang straight around the bottom. I'm thinkingiof changing your skirt pattern and draping it some on one side, but I don't intend to risk my reputation by making it that way if it won't hang straight. But, Miss Mooref' Priscilla began a last desperate protest, I donit want you to make my dressf' . .. ' O yes you do, Miss Moore contradicted her calmly. A I can see right through you, Priscilla. Your mother thinks you've had enough clothes and have been working me too hard. She doesn't think you need another dress. That's what's the trouble. But Iim not going back on you, Priscilla. Now you run home and tell your miother that I want her to go down to the city and get the goods before next VVednesday, for I'm going to commence on it then. , But 'Miss Moore,',-Priscilla began again. A Now donit you say another word, Priscilla, that worthy lady interrupted her. I'm going to make this dress and all I want you to do is to get the goods. 131 I Priscilla Walked home slowly. As she came up on the porch her father inquired, HoW'd you come out, Priscilla? I didn't hear any noise of battle. There wasn't any, was the brief reply. And the front screen door closed with a bang as Priscilla made the final announcement, The enemy refused to be provoked to battle. l . 3 MABEL SMITH, '14, l -m I i li I E w l f' if . q I ig - 34,245 Q 'fl .fs , X f- ,Y I 5 I .

Each year its popularity has increased, and has long ,since become an essential part of our life-. This year additional interest Was taken because of the competitive class numbers issued. After the first few general num- bers, in February the Junior number came outg in lllarch, the Sopho- more, in April, the Alumnae 'g in Blay, the.Freshman, and in J une, the Senior. The Juniors Were given the poet'S laurel by unanimous vote, while the other classes are still contesting 'over their special lit- erary talents. However thatmay end, there is no denying-that the energy of the worthy Editor-in-Chief, backed by her equally enthusi- astic staff, has made the VVestern Oxford something to be reckoned with in our college life. i A A i A l ' 135 MULTIFARIA BOARD X!

Her thoughts had wandered far Away. The classes heild her not, and now, Exhausted by her thirst for learning rare, Her heavy eyelids, sleep induced, drooped low And she was off into the realm of dreams. Her footsteps strayed down many a flowery path In that fair land, but none held out such charm As one. Rose strewn and fragrant, there it stretched Before her eyes, in its mysterious depths ' A Holding the lure of the unknown and things Unseen and yet to be discovered. Gay She wandered down, this Western maid, and oft Did muse, as onward still she went, ' What was this charm that held her in its thrall, When suddenly, down at her feet she saw A green and mossy stone sunk the earth, And on its face, in letters clear and fair, The Western Maid's Utopia. There it Elay And pointed straight the way to things beyond. This Western maiden, fascinated now, Walked on, and as she went, a beautiful And ever widening prospect met her eyes. A new and strangely altered Western stood Upon its hill top, calling her to come. She hastened on, and mingling with the girls About the halls, unseen and undiscovered, Prepared to find what this strange place was like The first surprise that met her startled eye Was a peculiar clock, a clock that ran, And running, ran some more, and never yet Was Casco seen to stand for weary hours Upon a ladder tall and juggle long With its interior. For Casco there, Was elevator boy, and loads of girls Did he take up and down throughout the day And no one toiled up flights and flights of stairs. And his assistant force, in buttons brass And uniforms resplendent, wheeled a line Of chairs between the gates of Helen Peabody, Alumnae and New Hall, and weary maids ' Reclined therein and sat at ease while they Were wheeled with speed between those well known points 140 A street car line did run between the gates And Oxford town, a great metropolis, And fwll of theatres and various Amusements to distract the busy brains Of students. A great and noisy city, Oxford town, And full of fascination for the young! The radiators in that unknown place Preserved a death-like silence. Ne'er did they A sermon or a concert interrupt Nor sleepy maids awaken in the morn With solos or duets, but they dispelled A cheerful warmth in silence decorous. W That great invention had been long installed That we've all read of-both the window raised And heat turned on, and all in one fell swoop By a device mechanical, so that YVhen Western maid arose in winter mionths A chill and icy blast did not assail Her, nor her blood in icicles' congeal. There was no harsh and hideous rising bell In that fair place, but happy maids arose When inclination bade, and dainty trays Were brought to them when they a button pressed Domestic work no maiden there oppressed, But each kind member of the faculty Did of the work her portion, this in mind, To leave the girls for social pleasures free. And with benevolent purpose, they did br-ing Refreshments round at night, and in the morn At that distressful period when each maid Is seized by hunger's sharp and cruel pangs, A milk route fine and Hourishing they ran, And left their offerings at the students' doors x With regularity commendable. Faculty plays they gave in swift succession To keep the girls amused, and so, in short, Displayed a motherly interest in them all And made their lives a, sweet and blissful dream. ' And best of all the things in this strange place, Was the great students' league. A union strong And powerful it was, and formed to guard Against oppression by the faculty, ' And to this end they did at times appoint' Senior advisers revered, to acquaint The faculty with their decisions grave. ' 141 X 1 An average lesson, very moderate, VVas to be given, and not insisted on If some important pleasure interfered. The faculty respectful were to be A Toward all the girls, and never were to hurl Questions embarrassing with sudden force Into their midst, but rather were to ask In mild, conciliatory tones, if they Did quite feel like reciting, and if not, To beg their pardon for the trouble caused. Neier were they to look troubled or amazed, If in her mental stress a maiden fair Free rein did give to her imagination P And offer up a host of facts pecuiliar. 'Ne'er was the word examination heard' In that fair land, but only pleasant things. A No papers with their frightful aspect grim Besieged their path, sweet peace to banish fast, Their days make hideous, their nights despoil. Neier were they forced, in mad attainments, race The elusive idea furious to pursue. But these came ready made from a machine Established by the thoughtful faculty. The 'maiden stood' and gazed at this ,machine In admiration, envy, and despair, VVhen suddenly there did assail her ear The unwelcome sound of an electric bell, And she awakened with a sudden start. The Utopia vanished as the mist of dreams And left her facing hard reality. First she bewailed her lot to think that she, Who one sweet gilimpse had had into a world So fair, should then be forced to never see It more, but be forever bound to live In ordinary fashion. Then she thought How good it really was for her to work, Her duty do, and form her character, So she resumed her toil with zeal renewed, And sought the classics, reconciled to fate. wt!-:. ga I .,M.,.x,,h4 gg N. 59.34, 1.

With a few rythmical gyrations surround your body with clothing. To enliven the day, accompany the descent to the dining room with a few contortions, such as sliding down the banisters. This economizes time. Tuesday: If it is springtime, prepare to go outdoors to weed the dandelions from the campus. This is a Very courteous thing to do, and is always expected of Freshmen. If you go for a walk, ask one of the Juniors for a battle axe and shield from the property closet. No Freshman should think of going out without these weapons, as a dire Ethiopian or 'fierce bovine might spring upon her at any turn. ' V Q Wednesday: This is usually a light day for Freshmen. Hence it is wise to go swimming. It is an excellent plan to wear pumps if you are a beginner, for much water may be swallowed in the process of learning. Thursday: Of course, Thursday is one of the commonplace days. If you are taking a practical course, including everything from Genesis to hammock- making, by all means stay at hom,e and rest. Western girls have long since learned that it is too great a mental strain to attend classes for three days in succession. Friday: If you have any spare time, spend it for the good of your soul. It is an old custom for Freshmen to send a smalil contribution every Friday to the heathen and to settlement workers. If you have any hot water bottles with holes in them, or toothless combs, or passe evening gowns, wrap them up at once and send them to the missionaries. Think how some modern Job would be comforted with such things. Pincushions, also, are great boons to missionaries. Saturday: Go up town in the afternoon-for the best moving picture shows are given then. Do not fail to do this, for the members of the faculty expect to chaperon, and otherwise would have no excuse to go. ' Sunday: Stay at home to sort your handkerchiefs and darn your stockings. For the Bible says, Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's. Those stockings might possibly contain one of your roommate's, and those handkerchiefs might belong to your next-door neighbor. 145- I I 0de O what can ail thee, Knight-at pen Alone and palely loitering?
