Miss OKI-:Y The Student Government of Western Vollege is a branch ofthe National Organization ol' Student Governments. livery student by virtue of her application for entrance to the college is a member of this League. Student Government has as its aim maintenance of conditions eondueive to intellectual and spiritual progres4 of each inrlividu-ll. ln attaining these ends. the League cnltivates as high degree as possible of unseltishness and consideration for others. loyalty to one's friends, loyalty to one's own ideals, loyalty to the school as a whole. and a sense of irreproachable personal honor. Along with the developnient of personal honor and character, it is the aim to impress upon each student the responsibility and value of cooperation in making successful such a democratic system. The l.eague's instrument is Central Board, representing the four classes and the faculty, and striving to carry out as reasonably as possible the wishes of the student body. , The League with the approval of the Faculty has instituted Senior chaperonage for freshmen. a great stride in the direey tion of individual responsibility. It has worked constantly for the good of the student, although' often it has had to take serious measures to safeguard the student and the college. But self government is a privilege which none would forego. So long as students are intelligent, just, and unselfish: so long as WVestern's name and the honor of the individual are clearly defined in the minds of those students: so long will Student Government stand firm and 'progress toward perfection. Page ih1'rfy1fivc El El MULTIFARIA 1924 lj EZ After College- hat? College women some forty years ago felt the necessity for continuing some kind of association after college days, and alumnae of eight colleges in those days formed an organization which has since become national in scope - the American Associa- tion of University YVomen. This unites educational interests of college women of 130 colleges and universities throughout the United States in such a manner that they may meet socially to form new and further old friendships, to discuss all phases of education--art. music, law, home economics, social service, medicine, public health, journalism - in fact all the branches of knowledge which are classihed in a college catalog. They study their home committee to see in what way educated women may be of service in adding culture and comfort to the communities in which they live. They oPfer scholarships to tempt talent and genius, they administer loan funds to ambitious but not wealthy young people, they offer fellowships for foreign study that students may know students and colleges in other lands, and they give teas, luncheons, dinners, plays, musicales and lectures. They try in every way to interest young people to make the most possible of their talents and oppor- tunities, whatever they are, and they try to add to their own store of knowledge after the wonderful beginning of college days. The American Association of Uni- versity 'Wornen now has some 200 branches located in every state except four in the United States. Besides the many thousands of members these branches represent it has hundreds of general members who are isolated from other college women but who wish to keep themselves allied with educational progress. The A. A. U. VV. two years ago in conjunction with college women of England and Canada organized the International Federation of University Women which now comprises national organizations of college women of seventeen countries organized for the purpose of acquiring friendship for and better understanding of other countries, their problems, and their people. Club Houses are being estab- lished as rapidly as possible in the various capitals of the world. Already the A. A. U. VV. has one in the capital city, Washington. Negotiations are under way for one in London: Paris has one at 4' rue de Chevreuse: and Brussels has its headquar- ters at Maison des Etudiantes. A If you. as a 'college graduate, have slipped away from college associations, these can be easily and delightfully renewed by membership in this association. If you are just leaving college it will give you at once a means of continuing your col- lege and educational interests with other women who have the same interests.

Sure, and who wouldn't be witty if her name we1'e lVIcGeath? llut it is more than wit, brains and good looks which call the Juniors to give their vote of ad- miration to Delight.

ROWENA SNYDER .................. Hays, Kansas V The Juniors may as well have a star athlete as not and so the eoneensus of opinion centers on Rowena. Rowena and Katsy prove the rule that roommates ought to have different aptitudes to get along well. In the classroom Rowena just shines, as 'twere, and the faculty are always expecting her to make the person who has just recited feel ashamed at the stu- pidity of her recitation. And that holds true in subjects all the way from Math to Philosophy. Rowena is a bit shy but shyness is only an addition to her personality, which by the way she also pos- sesses. Page Jiffy-nim: x .

Kass has a cute profile, a cute bobbed head. and a cute nickname. Draw your own conclusions. MARY Enlzmmfrn Momus .......... Dallas, Texas We think Mary Ibbie just about the cutest nick- name ever. A girl like that ought to have one though. Do you remember Mary Ibbie had one of the first permanents in school and used some of the first orange rouge? Some girls are born clever and some acquire it from their environment, that's why Mary Ibbie is doubly so. She may be a hockey athlete and successfully wear the dear girlish bloom- ers and middies, but how we wish riding were in- cluded. in the Gym course. Mary Ibbie is ravishing in a riding habit. 1 2 . . 1320 RINE M1cnAUn .............. Decatur.

Her admirers are numerous, both of black hair and - well, - Florine. lj EI MULTIFARIA 1924 U Il I'Ir:I.mN Nous ....,.............. Mansfield, Ohio Edesie is tiny, Winsome and has a beautiful Frencli accent. To look at her wee hands one would never think she could give such professional marcels.

Cincinnati,Ohio There are two places to look for Helen in the Spring time - either the tennis courts or the brick road: for she is a VVhiz at the net and one of those four-mile in forty-five walkers.

She didn.'t stop there, she stepped right into the office of Sophomore O li. representative. In basketball, CandD hockey, and classes she always plays the game. But with all her knowledge ol' chemistry and dreams of future equations, we know that she hasn't that black-eyed twinkle for nothing. MIIIIAM SMA lm' ....................

Well. that's all we dare tell you about Miriaxri but the more you know the more you want to know. Miriam is interesting and that is the supreme compliment among us seekers of knowledge. G lmclc Orion .................,. Chillicothe, Ohio Teddy even as a Freshman had a B average and three permissions a semester. You may rightly infer from that that Ted has personality plus men- tality. She has an inquiring tilt to her chin as if she were speculating on the why of everything. And if you question her you're pretty sure to find out too. Ted has a wide range of aceomplislnnents. They range from a minor in Latin to being one of the best dancers in the school. And they include most par- ticularly being the Freshmen's beloved Junior chair- man.

Her interests are centered in swinnniug. football players, future doctors, and during this first northern winter she delights in lea.rning to skate and to slide on dust pans. Anyone who has heard Babe call, Close that door, I feel a draught! knows why the whole Junior class now yells with a Southern accent. W1N11f'm:n BULl,lCltDIt'K ..... ...... C Iincinnati. Ohio Winnie is a winsome member of the trio which lives in the Barracks suite. Her friends compliment her on her curly hair while she giggles and mentions something about labor and indust.ry. But when she has her curls tucked beneath a bandana. she can send a tennis ball whizzing across the net so fast that her opponant stands with mouth agape. She becomes more composed and demure when she is planning the training of her three and a fraction for Household Ad. RUTH GRUN mm ...... ......,.........

Ruth isn't terribly fond of athletics although she did go out for golf once.

Keokuk, Iowa When you smell pop-corn, look for Elizabeth! In her freshman year, she was hard on an alarm clock in the pursuit of Greek. While in her third year of that subject, she is an example of the su1'vival of the fittest. High marks in the sciences come to her with apparent ease-another one of those front row fiends. She has the unique distinction of being three times goal keeper on the hockey team. As a salesman of golf hose and fruit. Elizabeth turns her energy and ability to the benefit of the endowment.

From behind those shell rimmed glasses of hers Dot surveys a world of congenial humans. For even if you are carrying a grudge against the race of mankind in general Dot is the best little gloom dispenser ever. It's easy to laugh and say Why worry around Dot because she is a living example of the truth of these lines: The world is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings. MA RION HA livin' .... .............. l Dayton, Ohio One glance at Ohio WVesleyan in the summer of l9Q3, convinced Marion that WVestern was still the school for her. The Junior class might have lost a fast and expert wing on the hockey team. Nlarion is always ready to hike or take a walk. Xve bow to fresh air if it is responsible for a high grade in Econo- mies. A contagious giggle relieves her work and that of her friends of arduousness. But Cuba is lVIarion's secret. She talks of going by day and by night, she no doubt dreams of it.

M... 1 N' College Day The Freshmen were not the only ones who hailed the sun on the morning of Uctober sixteenth, with rejoicing. That sunshine meant that for the first time in three years all the College Day func- tions, save the formal chapel exercise. might take place outside as long custom ordained. The impressive College Chapel exercises began with the academic procession ot' the faculty, after which the l reshman class followed its beloved Junior Chairman. into the chapel. wearing the long concealed colors --- Nile Green and Violet. Every one was delighted that at last a l+'reshman class had dared to adopt some shade of green as one of its colors. Those light shades suited well the light hearts gathered in the chapel that morning. Dr. Charles F. Thwing, former President of the Pl1i Beta Kappa society ot' America, gave the College Day address on. The hlcaning of College, an address which caught and held the attention of an audience which was waiting with almost uncontrollable eagerness for the supreme moment of the day. At last speeches, music, announcements. all were done. and the cue came for the announce- ment ol' the amazing total of seven days' secret pledging to the lflndowment. Not until the great thermometer which registered the sum was carried in triumph down the aisle while class colors flew high, could we believe that Z'B2Q,000 had actually been raised. And some of us. as we sang to Dr. Boyd the inspiration ol' pledging could scarcely see that thermometer, large as it was. ' It was well then the lunch could be served in the lieech woods. The high spirits of the crowd could hardly have been kept within four walls. The enthusiasm of the morning was carried to the Nature Theatre to welcome Tickless Time. as presented by the Play Production Class. And if anyt.hing that enthusiasm was increased before the entire college with its many guests migrated l'rom the theatre to the Basketball' court to witness the annual contest between the Sophomore and Freshman teams.

Even the most homesick Fresh- man has to acknowledge that since she can't he at home, Western is the next best place to be. First of all there was the Y. NV. C. A. service in Kumler Chapel.

There is a sudden hush in the Chapel where all the friends and families, Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen are gathered. The choir looks expect- antly toward the door. Miss Driver nods to Mr. Stillman-Kelley at the organ. The triumphal march booms out. The Academic Procession has at last entered the building. In a moment more the Seniors, clothed for the first time in their caps and gowns, are passing down the aisle. Something too tense for poise, too awed for dignity, too tremulously near to tears for calm is expressed by everyone of those black robed figures. The big day is come! They are truly candidates for the Bachelor of Arts degree at last. We doubt whether they really heard the speaker of the day, or that they are any surer than they were the night before that his name is Rev. Andrew YV. Blackwood, and not Anderson nor Blackboard. But at the banquet which follows, the awed hush of the Chapel is forgotten. The Seniors in their accustomed clothes once more seem oblivious of the impending close of their college career until they sing, When seasons roll around once more And the dawn of another year---U and then they realize that they are the guests of honor at their last banquet. We are always sorry to see a generation of Seniors pass by into history, l think. But on this day when we caught sight of the scarlet Poinsettias scattered over the long tables and knew that next year will bring daffodils--A! tVell, it made us feel very queer!

The sun which had been hiding behind clouds all morning came out just long enough to smile on the new flag. the Orange and Silver of the class of 1926. as it took its place among the others. The two folk dances given by the Freshman class, and the interpreta- tive dance given by the members of the advanced dancing class, were effective against a background of swaying pine trees. The Freshman tree with twen ty-six new pennies to bring it luck was planted in the Ernst Nature Theater. The morning exercises ended with the dedication of a flag pole and flag. the gift of Mrs. Fletcher Heath, of Oxford, Ohio. In the afternoon, in spite of threatening clouds, the Seniors began their play Miss Nelly of N '0rleans in the outdoor theater. And the play did not lose its effectiveness, although because of the showers it was necessary to move the players and the audience to Peabody Assembly Hall at the close of the first act. The celebration of Tree Day is a iVestern tradition which is always impressive whether the weather be rainy or fair. arties There are certain events which have been repeated so often that they have become a part of VVestern's traditions. These are the parties which we enjoy from time to time through the year. On the first Saturday night of the year the Y. W. C. A. gave its usual party for the Freshmen. This year we were all pirates. and aboard a pirate ship enjoyed the stunts and dancing. The next Saturday night the Sophomores entertained the Sneiors with a formal dance in McKee Hall, and the Juniors gave a party for the Freshmen in the Gym. Of course everyone had a good time! Hallowe'en was celebrated with a masked dance in the Gym. Did you ever see such bewitching costumes? It would have taken a hundred prizes to have given them to all the clever ones, but the judges finally decided on two. And Christmas -- ! Each dormitory had its own Christmas party. There was a big tree and an interesting program, a candy cane and a gift for everyone. And so the year goes on. ive may forget many of the things we learn here, but can we ever forget. the parties which are so enjoyable a part. of our college life?

WVe found it bitterly historical, indeed, as our friends had warned us, but none the less beautiful for all that, and, naturally, we were especially interested in the group of buildings that house the famous University of Oxford. Of all the stately group, we found Old Merton College by far the most fascinating. Perhaps it was its undeniable air of antiquity, for it is oldest of all the colleges of Oxford: perhaps it was the loveliness of its wonderful quadrangles, especially the ancient and beautiful Paley's Quadf' or it might have been the old library, so old that one could easily fancy that Chaucer or VVyclif may have studied there, though I might say, in passing, that if they did, they must have had an uncomfortable time of it, for the benches that ran between the book-stacks were hard and wooden and had no backs. Whatever the charm, we loved old Merton best of all. Our American eyes, accustomed to the brand-newness of our own college buildings and the just-begun look of our campus, fairly reveled in the green luxuriance of the magnificent Ivy that covered the walls and towers and fell in beauty of abundance from the eaves of the college buildings. Of course we wanted some of that Ivy for our own beloved Western in our own beloved Oxford across the ocean, just as we wanted some of everything beautiful we saw all summer long. So we watched our chance, and when the verger in charge of our party conducted us to the Chapel of the college, we managed in some way to detach him from the crowd and whispered, VVe want a sprig of that Ivy from the oldest college in Oxford, England, to plant in the youngest college in Oxford, America. The word Ohio would have meant nothing to him, but America had a largeness of appeal, and when we backed this up with a few almighty shillings, our case was won! Turning to his st.raggling party, and pointing toward the far end of the chapel, he called out, Do not fail to see the very interesting glass in the windows of the chancel, the oldest glass in En- gland, brought over from Holland before glass was manufactured in this country. They all went swarming up the aisle and, turning to us he said Follow me quickly, ladies, and out of the chapel and down the steps and around the corner of one of the quadrangles he sped so swiftly that the skirts of his long black robe spread straight out behind him. Down or1 his venerable knees he went, beside the vine-covered wall, and faster than I can tell it, he dug up three tiny little Ivy vines, already rooted and growing. We wrapped them in a handkerchief, earth and all, and hurried to the nearest green-house, where we had them carefully potted by expert hands. Packed into my 'traveling bag, propped on either side by n1y Baedekers, they made the trip safely to the steamer, where they were placed on the shelf of our stateroom and watered carefully every day -Y and so on to' Oxford, America. VVith a sigh of relief we gave them over into the competent hands of Miss VVhite, to be cared for until they should be large enough to plant. One day Miss White came to Number 90, with a sad face and said, Bad news! One of the triplets is dead. Too bad, I answered, How are the twins? Fine, was her answer. A few weeks later she announced, One of the twins is dead, adding, after a mournful pause, And I think the other will not survive. Once more she came, this time bearing in her hand the original little flowerpot, on the dirtiest saucer I ever saw, and sticking up in the middle of the pot, a brown stick. Dead! I said gloomily., Not said Miss YVhite, fairly beaming, I.ook! And she pointed to the tiniest bud I ever saw, about the size of a pin-head, but pink and undeniably alive. And this, dear Multifaria. is the story of the Oxford Ivy that grows on the Northeast buttress of Kumler Chapel. LEILA McKEE WELSH. Page mfmrly WOMENS SPORTS The Bal! no qllhffidll umkar of Ayn um!

Indeed, it was only after a suggestion had come from one of our more distinguished faculty 'tsportswomen that a croquet set would not be unappreciated. that the Athletic Association arose to the occasion and realized that one side of our athletics had been completely overlooked. 'l'hey forthwith purchased the eminently respectable apparatus which was presented to Dean Byrne for tl1e enjoyment of the Facility from the Association. When the set was accepted, it was accompanied by the challenge of Dean Byrne and Miss Libby to play against Marion Christian and Helene Schmidt on the afternoon of October the tenth. 'l'he new set was arranged upon the stage of the Nature 'l'heatre. Un this beautiful fall after- noon, practically the whole VVestern Community brought its pillows and filled up the grassy banks of the theatre. At four-forty the first balls were driven off by Dean Byrne. It is useless to describe in detail this famous match: for the professional and scientific work of Dean Byrne and Miss Libby, and their superb team work here have made the match famous in lvestern traditions. As the sun sank lower and lower, and the shadows lengthened. and the wind grew chilling. with a sweeping victory the two triumphant past masters left their opponents hopelessly defeated in an unfinished contest! , X An admission of ten cents was charged which resulted in an attractive sum for the endowment. lhe net results, fl5Q'7.00, was the initial contribution to a branch fund known as the General Cam- pus Fund. 'l'hrough small donations, the food sale, class stunts. et cetera. the fund reached 351,000.00 at the end of the first semester. The fates were against the 'Freshmen this year. It was pre-destined by the soothsayer, Dot Jones, as she gazed in her crystal ball and predicted victory for the Sophs. However we were proud of our Freshmen as they lumbered down the field as elephants, sixty-five in all, tended by the gallant team clad in grotesque capes and caps. But it all goes to prove that training in managing elephants is not just the kind it takes to manage the Sophomores.

This year the Yale University Press, whose object it is to publish the work of younger writers of unusual promise, has published Silver VVands,,' a book of very charming verse by Miss Marion M. Boyd. In The Poets of the Future for 1921-22, a college anthology. The Lost Leader, by Marion VVillson, '25, was published. In that number also Camelot.' a poem by Sarah Zimmerman, '25, was given honorable mention. Dr. Ruth L. Phillips, of the Biology department, is at present at work on a text-book on Embryology, which will be ready for publication this year. It is a noteworthy fact that Western numbers three Alumnae among her fac- ulty, Miss Ruth Bracher, a graduate of VVestern College with the class of 1918, became professor of organ and Theoretical music in 1921. after her graduate work at Yale University and with Jean Verd in Cincinnati. Miss Lucile Wilkin, a graduate of Western College with the class of 1917, and the Institute of Musical Art, New York, in 1923, became instructor in piano this year. During the inter- vening time Miss Wilkin studied with Jacob Moerschel, Mme. Lisyniewska, Richard Hageman and Harold Morris. She has also been accompanist for Mischa Elmann. Miss Emma Gertrude Leonard, a graduate of Western College with the class of 1904, became associate professor of English in 1919. Miss Leonard's graduate work was done at the University of Chicago, Emerson School of Oratory, Northwestern Conservatory School of Expression and the University of Michigan.

In spite of the fact that it was crowded in between lunch in the Beechwoods and the Sophomore-Freshman basketball game we thoroughly enjoyed it, and our pleasure was not lessened by the unusual excitements of the day. The play was an extremely amusing one, and the cast well chosen. PLAY PRODUCTION PLAYS On February 9th the Play Production class presented three plays.

From the beginning to the end variety was the keynote of the program. The Ensemble, Keep It Darkf' sung by the whole class, was followed by the Gypsy Trail and Tell Me, Little Gypsy, by a troop of realistic gypsies. The Old Daguerreotype carried thc audience via shawls and Prince Alberts to the days of their grandmothers, and the playing of The Blue Danubef, which brought the group to life, showed that present-day people were not the only ones who enjoyed dancing. The waltz was followed by a popular Fox Trot, which brought the audi- ence back to the present day. After The Lady of the Evening, seated on the moon, had sprinkled star dust over the maidens who danced before her the cat gave his melodious calls in harmony with poor Romeo's serenade. The Heart Shop did a Hourishing business when six girls came searching for sweethearts, and almost immediately the moon, looking down on the Old Fashioned Garden, showed that some of them had found them. The Niggers of the Minstrel, after singing their songs and telling their stories in the way approved for minstrels, cleared the stage for You Have Stolen the Key to my Heart. After this number came the finale, in which the actors drifted back on to the stage to some measure of the songs and remained there to again admonish the audience to Keep It Dark? The stunt was repeated on Thanksgiving afternoon and the proceeds given to the Endowment Fund.

Page one lzumlrwi fourteen Cl lj MULTIFARIA 1924 Cl III The Curtain Raiser The first night's performance of The Curtain Raiser, presented by the Faculty for the benefit of the Western Endowment, was a performance unequaled in interest and splendid portrayal of character. At exactly 7:30 the doors were thrown open to a large assembly, most of whom had stood in line for several hours. The side walls of the new Peabody Theater were unique in decoration. Large silhouettes of our members in facultate looked down upon us in attitudes frequently encountered in the classroom, attitudes so familiar to the student body that the giggles were not slow in forthcoming. It was only when the room was darkened and Mr. Gran officiated at the slide machine that the hall became subdued. The first picture on the screen was a dear little boy. From many parts of the auditorium came shouts of Mr, Gran. But when Miss Beard- Wood's name was thrown on the screen everyone went wild. All of our faculty appeared thus as the little boys and girls of yesterday, each equally successful in bringing his audi- ence to the point of laughter. During the intermission which followed Miss Carter and Miss Pierson, dressed in the proverbial maid's costume, winsomely enticed the eager onlookers to buy sandwiches from the two chaps in gleaming white chef's costumes-none other than Mr. Quant and Mr. Gran. ' . The last part of the program was by no means the least. Semas McManus' Mrs. Connolly's Cashmere, was the play chosen. The cast was as follows: Mrs. Connolly .... . . . . Miss Keith Terrence, her son ............. , . .Miss Mueller Bridget McDermott, a beggar .......................... Miss Leonard Mrs. Connolly, weirdly gowned in a white sheet, seeks the closet when her despised neighbor Bridget knocks, leaving her son Terrenceto tell Bridget that she is out. Terrence, foiled by his mother in his wish to see the fair. uses this opportunity to get even. He tells Bridget that his mother is dead and that she has willed her cashmere shawl and best bonnet to none other than Bridget. During this interview the closet door frequently opens, revealing the irate face and clenched fist of Mrs. Connolly, which in nowise phases her son. But it becomes too much for her when Bridget starts to leave, and she comes from her hiding-place, snatches her property, and chases Bridget from the house. The superb acting, as well as the excellent make-up of the characters, was worthy of professionals. We predict a brilliant future for the cast of The Curtain Raiser.

A violin solo and a vocal solo were also parts of the program. And what shall we say of the play, itself? The Knave was an extremely clever play, and the acting quite good. The Freshmen are to be congratulated upon such a delightful entertainment.

The class of '23 came from the ends of the earth to see it, and we are sure We should have done likewise had we not been so fortunate as to be on the spot. The new auditorium was full to overflowing on the evening of April 12, and there was never before such an eager, excited audience waiting to greet any performance. And we were not disappointed. From the first moment the curtain rose to the very last of Act III we howled with appreciation. The various talents of our faculty were revealed to us in a most fascinating manner. Whoever it was who adapted Shades of the Immortals from John Kendrick Bang's The Houseboat on the Styx - we suspect it was Miss Libby! '- we wish to commend for her excellent work. And if Miss Leonard was responsible for assigning the characters, we wish to say that her choice, as usual, was perfect. As for the play itself, a list of the characters will tell the story.

Realizing that daily chapel and Sunday church services stimulated thought and worship which might be directed toward more specific- action, in a less formal assoeation. leaders brought about the organization of the Western branch of the Young Woman's Association. As the college grew and as the Association grew, the work seemed to divide itself into two parts --that which pertained to the individual on this campus and that which pertained to development in other fields. The work in both divisions has grown fast and it is hard to say which has taken the greater leap. The second phase of the work has developed to the point that a few years ago Western chose to call Tokio College for WVomen, her sister college. fCont'imu'd on page 1-37D Page one hund-roll thirty-fo'ur I 'uyf' mu' lmmlwrl ll1'frly1li1'e III Cl MULTIFARIA 1924 U El Some leave college justfor fun!

Cabinet ff'0Ilfill7Il'ff from page 1.141 Since then she has given annually a large sum to her support, stimulating a great deal of interest in the school. ln this day of scientific management the Y. W. has worked out a budget system, subscribed to by pledges from the members. Often the budget is over-subscribed, thc extra, going to Tokio. To further interest. a bazaar is held annually, at which Japanese articles are sold. The proceeds enlarge our contribution. Then the girls realizing the value of the organization have sponsored the association movement in China, by joining with other colleges in the region, to support Miss Grace Steinbeck. an Association Secretary in China. There are other perhaps more important but less tangible activities influencing student thought and stimulating new and broader points of view. The Association contributes yearly to the World Student Christian Federation, an organiza- tion which joins the Christian youth of the world. In this way race prejudice is gradually leaving and constructive work along the peace line is being done through education and through building up individual friendships among the youths of the various nations. The aim of the Association is to develop latent tendencies and to give all a fairer chance. Although interest in the second phase of the work has an indirect effect on the girls here, some particular activities with this development in view begin asgsoon as the students reach Oxford. The Big Sister activities serve to keep home- sick ,Freslunen here until other forces interest them. Bible study is conducted by classes on Sunday evenings before the regular class Prayer Meetings. Freshman classes are led by Juniors and others by Faculty. The meetings have the most value when they are made into discussion groups. For inspiration, spiritual development, better understanding of our problems and their solutions, and broadening our knowledge of the Association itself and of the leaders in it, conferences are held. Their effect on the girls who attend and on the Association itself is tremendous. Each summer conferences are held in different regions. Formerly our delegates have gone to Eagles Mere but beginning with this year they are to go to Geneva. National Assembly is held every two years. The convention this year is to be held in New York City. Page .one hundred thirty-seven CI EI MULTIFARIA 1924 Cl lj Endowment U College support comes from many sources. Some colleges are supported by the state, through methods of public taxation. Some are supported by church benevolences. Some colleges rely wholly upon student fees. Some have invested funds known as endownment, which yields a large portion of the income needed for current expenses. The really independent and scholarly institutions are those with large endowments. There is a freedom in investigation and in teaching, in an institution which is controlled by a hoard of trustees altogether independent of external influences, such as legislatures and church boards. Therefore, the college which is well endowed has the best chance to work out its own ideals. It has been a great encouragement in the administrative work of The VVestern College to find that our endowment has been increasing for the last ten years at the average rate of nearly 850,000 per year. Now we are in a campaign for another 8'3500,000 of which S4300,000 will be added to our endowment. This will make in round numbers an endowment of 581,000,000 and will place this college in the class of those scholarly institutions which have helped so much to raise the character of our citizenship and to advance knowledge. This would not be a large endowment for a very large institution. But as long as this college maintains the ideals of the personal and individual opportunities of a small college, this amount will be effec- tive in ,accomplishing those ideals. The building of an endowment, however, will not remove the constant demand for increased facilities inbuildings, beautifying the grounds, equipping laboratories, furnishing library facilities and doing the many things about a college which pro- mote student qualities. For these things there will be constantly donors who will have a delight, in seeing their money do particular things. W. W. BOYD, President. Page one hundred thirty-nigh!

The sky Above, no bluer, shows the whitecapped sea As in a mirror. And one can not tell What if the world hang upside down or no. And sky melts into water. Sea and air One blue to compass shifting, golden sand! Above, where rustling poplars in the wind Turn silver like the backs of leaping trout, And old pines cling with naked feetg above The roar of waves that pound upon the beach And drown the beauty of the sky and sea With their incessant, churlish mutterings, Up there one may see farther, quite beyond To other worlds. WVhy, from a hilltop, one Might dream he saw or see his dream complete. II I So far above, the waves loud roar is lost In long, low murmurons chuckling, vague and dim Like voices heard in dreams. But wind is there. A gusty wind that tears and whips the sand In sudden, blinding swirls, while old trees moan. Turn from the hills, the wind is left behind. Turn from the hills, another land is there. A trail deep hid in fern frondsfinds its way On down into a valley scarlet bright With sumach. brown with oak leaves, purpled o'er With all the autumn wild flower's rioting. And there is silence. There no wind will come. It roars among the sentinels on the hills. But here a scarlet leaf at last worn free With lazy, circling grace comes fluttering down. A squirrel barks. Is silent! Then again! The valley in seclusion does not know Or does not care that just beyond the hills, The shifting hills of sand that hem it 'round, Lake Michigan is pounding on the shore.

WILLSON, Q5 Paql one hundred forty one Cl lil MULTIFARIA 1924 lj EI In My Own Weak Way As far back as I can remember there has always been one or another church obligation hanging over me. Before I reached high school age, I was assisting in the kindergarten department of the Sunday School. And before I was a full-fledged Senior I found myself burdened with a class of fifth grade boys. I took up the burden, resentfully, vowing this obligation once got rid of, I - well, I would sever my connection with the church. .But before the end of the year I had to use all my ingenuity to dodge the Junior League presi- dency. Nevertheless the program committee was always in need of emergency teachers. When the telephone rang at tea time on a rainy Sunday evening, I held my breath until I discovered it was not the appointed leader of the League, asking me to take his place. Because I lived next door to the church, it was nothing for me to run over to the church to lead the meeting. I was lucky to escape two months without leading. - If I had been in such demand because the people of the church thought me efficient, it would have been a different question. I was merely the minister's daughter. But there was one way in which I was a sore disappointment to the members. I drew the line at singing in the choir. I never could sing. And, added to this handicap, it embarrassed me to sit on the rostrum before people. Though the choir director pleaded, I remained adamant. The choir practised on lVIonday and Saturday evenings. Every lVIonday evening I took F ather's list of hymns for the next Sunday over to the church for the director. Choir practise began at eight o'clock. It was my aim to be out of the church before the arrival of the first member. I knew that if ever I was caught in the church nothing would satisfy the choir but that I stay to practise. Une lVIonday evening, Father and Mother went for a ride after dinner. I was in the midst of reading The Little Minister. I preferred to stay at home. The gypsy had just inveigled the little minister into throwing a stone at the mob, who were seeking her, when I suddenly remembered that I had not delivered the hymns. The lights were on in the church. I searched the top of Father's desk for the hymn numbers. I leafed through a stack of letters forgetting for the time how Father dislikes to have his letters scattered about. Just as I was going through the third dictionary fFather often hides things therej the clock in the hall struck eight. At the same time the car turned into the driveway. VVhen Father entered the study he walked straight to his desk and took the list from the one pigeon hole which I had overlooked. A The choir was in its place when I opened the door to the choir room, and the director drowned my apologies with his loud, insistent, invitation. When I saw that there was no escape I slipped into a vacant seat with the sopranos and joined in the practise. After we had sung the new hymn a dozen times and I thought that I would scream if Mrs. Johnson did not stop her nervous beating time with her little finger, we began on the anthem for Sunday morning. The anthem went some- thing like this: Consider the lilies of the field, the lilies of the field, How they grow, the lilies of the field, how they grow. T hey toil not, neither do they spin. They toil not. Consider the lilies of the field. They toil not, neither do they spin, Yet Solomon in all his glory, in all his glory Was not arrayed, was not arrayed, in all his glory not arrayed g Like one of thesef' Page one h'umlrz'd forfyjlwo Q U MULTIFARIA 1924 D CI Now the quality of .my voice is alto. lint since I have never been able to carry the tune in that part I sing soprano. IVhen the music is too high I drop to silence until the notes come within my range again. The accompaniment to the second They toil not, neither do they spin is unusual. The first syllable of neither is on F135 above l1igh C. I never sing comfortably above high C. The sopranos debated back and forth about the phrase because the Fff dropped several notes on the last syllable of neither and became high again on do they spin. Now only a part. of the choir was paid to sing. The one soprano, upon whom the rest depended in time of high notes, was ill. I gasped over the high notes but made a little sound which was scarcely heard. I became conscious of my raspiug voice when Mrs. Johnson suddenly stopped singing while I was doing my best to reach that FIH1. The director put off until Saturday evening making his decision whether the sopranos should sing the second, They toil not, neither do they spin, or the organist should play the accompani- ment. IVhen the ordeal was over at last I slipped home. , It never occurred to me to go to the Saturday evening rehearsal. ln fact, I never thought of thc choir again until Sunday morning when one of the sopranos met me on the steps of the church and insisted that I sing in the choir. She held me there blocking the main entrance of the church until there was nothing for me to do but let her drag me to the choir entrance. Someone put a robe on me just in time for me to march in with the other sopranos. There I sat where it has always embarrassed me to sit: there, in a conspicuous place. During the first hymn I could feel n1y face breaking out in red and white spots. And I have never been able to decide why my neck itched so unmercifully. By the time we finished chanting The Lord's Prayer my throat was so dry that it actually pained. By the time we rose to sing the anthem, I had ca'med myself to the point where I ventured a fleeting glance at the congregation. But I was never able to look at my mother long enough to decide who had taken my place beside her. I was just getting warmed up, and was feeling all aglow inside, when we came to, I cut short the last word, spin, in order to take a deep breath for the Fit in the repetition. With gusto I started to sing, They toil not----I' lint the organ was my only accompaniment. For a second I thought I should die. My mind dashed about madly until I made myself continue. I pushed my voice toward the F5f,t. From sheer weakness I let it fall in t.ime for the last syllable of neither. XVhen the rest of the choir joined me in, Yet Solomon, in all his glory, I could feel my knees giving out and my face turmng purple above my white surplice. When I sat down my mind was a blur for half an hour. I did not hear a word of F ather's sermon. It was not until he was concluding lns day's effort that I dared to look into the congregation. VVIICII the first person I looked at was not watclnng me, I ventured to look again. There was not a person in the whole church watching me. VVhen we stood up to sing the last hymn my embarrassment came back. I did not sing the first or last word of any phrase. If any of the hymn was cut out I was going to be on the safe side. I did live through that last bit of action. In my excitement I wore my choir gown home, I sneaked through the Sunday School room to the door of Father's study. I was still standing ln the middle of the study when Father and Mother entered. Father smiled and said, VVell, little girl, how did you like the sermon? I sighed in relief. Ile was not going to say anything about the anthem. But Mother, noticing my choir gown, said, A I didn't know you were going tofsing this morning. You did quite well. And Father, sinking into his morris chair mused, T ' Not bad, no! A trifle too high, perhaps.

But you know times were hard and wages low. I think he was half crazy with his troubles, I've seen him start out early in the morning And rlroop in late at night, elasping his shawl Around him. Then his flickering lamp would burn Half of the night. Ivhat was he doing, Will? '6VVriting, I guess. He wrote for magazines. A eritie. VVriting never pays a man. I tell you, Jane, he never had the spunk To work and sweat and grind like other men. I think he never had the strength to work. Oh, Will, you don't remember that black night - You weren't here - when he Came up these steps And said, 'I think she's dying. Will you come? And whiles I piled up blankets and fetched wine He stood there tall and grave and looked at nothing. 'She doesn't play with Tabby any more. I put the eat upon the bed to warm her. But now - she lies there, still, holding my hand. Little Virginia - sick and cold and tired. She was so little when I married her. But now she's just a thing of hair and eyes - I'll go to her.

His lips were on her lips. Page one hundred forlyifour MULTIFARIA 1924 Cl III I turned away from them. There was no hope. They only wanted to be there together. I watched the dark street from the shelte1'ed window And heard behind me, 'Darling! darling! darling! My life. my bride! The angels -they were jealous Seeing us heavenly happy here on earth - A They're taking you from 1ne!' A man's low sobbing. And a faint voice. 'They ean't take me from you - Dearest!

He bowed his head and clasped her close to him. And while I stood there helpless, raised his eyes And murmured, 'Uh Virginia. - nevermore!'

Page mm hzuulrmi forlydirc III EI MULTIFARIA 1924 III lj Primary Days Ever since I skipped the first year of grade school, and entered the second reader class there have been many things I have never unde1'stood. In the primer class my little friends learned easily and for all time simple facts which I do not yet know. First and above all they learned obe- dience and respect for law and order. We were not an especially brilliant class, although the rest of them completely outstripped me. Our teacher early in the year learned the futility of expecting any one of her back row pupils to know anything. She used to call on three or four giggling, silly little girls, as many more freckle-faced boys, before she would say, in desperation, Class, When she said Class one little boy always answered. He was a serious little boy with a lisp, a high collar above his red VVindsor tie, and spectacles. He always knew the answers. It never occurred to me until sometime after Christmas that class was not the boy's name. I called him class Whenever I found it necessary to call him anything until one day Elizabeth, my seatmate, who knew everything, found me out. Herlaugh crumbled my self-esteem. I gradually picked up a few major points of public school life. I learned to hide my individual drinking cup and use the school dipper to avoid ridicule, to lick my sucker all over, thus escaping the give me a bite fad without seeming stingy: and to behave myself well enough to get on the honor roll. The Honor Roll with its prim little Reward of Merit cards fascinated me. I had no idea what reward of merit meant, but as the cards were always worth a quarter at home, I strove to acquire them. The next September found me in the third grade entirely engulfed in the sea of Arithmetic. I had never learned either to add or subtract. Elizabeth understood the principle no better than I understood it. Miss Ruth found this out the first day. You will stay in this afternoon until you learn to subtract, she told us coldly. I can not understand your coming to me as honor pupils with no comprehension of Arithmetic. I was utterly cast down. Comprehension I did l10t understand but stay in I knew well. Stay in when the County Fair was going on! Stay in when the1'e was a balloon ascension at three thirty! It was unthinkable. School was finally over. After a long time the other children departed, leaving Elizabeth and me alone Wltll Miss Ruth. She looked grim and terrible Ill the deserted room. It was almost time for the balloon ascension. I wondered how long mother would walt for me on the corner. Up to this time I had not learned to tell time, but according to Elizabeth the desk clock said three twenty. Miss Ruth went on interminably talking about borrowing one and taking one from the next to pay it back. I felt vaguely sorry for the figure first in line. Who would pay it back, I wondered. Just then someone knocked at the door. It was my mother, and Elizabeth's mother. They had evidently been hurrying. Mother looked at Miss Ruth.. The balloon ascension is in ten lllIIlllt6S,U she said. Miss Ruth smiled. Ruth and Elizabeth must sta in to learn substractionf' she cooed. Y Oh, the can sta in tomorrow, Elizabetlfs mother said casuall . . y . It's ridiculous for such babies to stay in anyway. I'll teach Ruth to subtract at home. We saw the balloon ascension and that evening on the living room table I learned to subtract by taking candy from a box. Page one ll1l1Ill7'lJtl forty-six: Q U M U L Te1TF3oIR I'A 1 9 2 4 E El That struggle with Arithmetic brought to my family the realization that their only daughter was neither brilliant nor diligent. All through the year this belief was so strengthened. that when I entered the fourth grade the family decided to help me learn how to study. Without t.heir help I would still be in the fourth grade. Miss Josephine believed in writing to learn. Ive wrote our spelling words ten times each. VVe copied our lesson from XVest's Primary Geography, and we worked out ten or twelve problems in long division. It took concentrated effort to prepare my home work. lVIy father copied the Geography. Every evening my aunt patiently wrote out my spelling words while mother worked Aritlnnetic. During this time I busied myself with my reading lesson. After two weeks Aunt Hallie went to see Miss Josephine. . tVe don't mind helping Ruth she said. but what do the children do who haven't' three or four grown people? But Ruth's spelling is much improved, Miss Josephine protested. It,s mine that should be better, Aunt Hallie answered. That information kept me from receiving any gold stars that term. Miss Josephine t.old us that no pupil who had help at home deserved a star. Elizabeth. who was also deprived of stars. and I became so embittered that we declared war on a little girl who had tive stars. We could have forgiven her if the fifth star had not been for deportment. In all my three years I had never gotten above the lowest mark given in Deportment. VVC quarreled with Mary Jane all the way home, until finally just a square from her house we engaged in a pitched battle. We pulled hair, pinched each others chunky little arms while tears flowed freely. Mary Jane declared that she would tell, and tell she did. Miss Josephine was both shocked and grieved. She had never heard of nice little girls fighting. Before the bell rang she read the list of those who were to stay in. Like About Ben Adhem's, mine led all the rest. Elizabeth's was close behind. lVIiss Josephine had an invariable form of punislnnent. After her culprits had stayed in long enough she led them one by one to the cloak room. The little boys she spanked. She looked at the little girls with teary eyes, kissed their foreheads and let them go. At these times I longed fiercely to be a boy. Elizabeth and I were the last. to be excused. After our kiss, Miss Josephine held out a hand to each. A I am going to walk home with you every afternoon until you learn not to tight. tV.hen we walked past Mary Jane's home, she made faces at us from the front room window. ltly humiliation was overwhelming. I never fought again. My reformation was complete after that walk. but my punishment was not. Next day the principal came to our room, and called Elizabeth and me out to the cloak room. I had never seen him before except in chapel. when, weeping into his large handkerchief he was accustomed to tell us of his little aunt who went out in the snow without rubbers and died. This morning Elizabeth and I did the weeping. All of Miss Josephine's lectures faded into nothingncss before his eloquence. The rest of my fourth grade life was peaceful -- almost too tranquil. but my family sighed in relief when I was promoted to the fifth grade and Miss Ella. Nliss Ella was a friend of mother. a good teacher and a stern diseiplinariau. The family then turned over my education to her and to Providence and found time to read once more in the evenings.

Page one lnuulrcd forty-seven III E MULTIFARIA 1924 El Cl Education al Tours in In 1921 The Wcsterii College opened the way for a broader educat.ion and a wider experience for its students by organizing the first summer tour of Europe. Conditions in Europe were approach- ing normal again, so that it was possible to enjoy travel. Dr. W. W. Boyd, President of the College, who had conducted many European tours in the past, accompanied the first party, of which there were eleven members. The itinerary included Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, England, and Scotland. The success of the first tour under the management of the college proved the great value of travel under wise supervision, and its broadening effect on education. Again in 19992 the college organized a European tour. Miss Alice Hill Byrne, Dean of the college, and Miss Alice Mary Libby, Professor of English Literature, accompanied a party of seven, which visited Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, England, and Scotland. The following summer Miss Ida M. Windate, Professor of English, accompanied a party of twelve to the chief points of interest on the continent and in England and Scotland. The success of these trips made the Slimmer tours to Europe an established custom of the college. And now for the summer of ISJQ4 two separate tours are planned. One, accompanied by Miss Lillie M. Howe, Professor of Spanish, will visit France, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium and England, a tour designed especially for those who have an unusual interest in Spanish. The other tour accom- panied by Dr. and Mrs. Edgar Stillman Kelley, will visit the music centers of Europe. In addition to carrying out the usual plans of a sight-seeing trip Dr. and Mrs. Kelley will lecture on the lives and the characteristic music of some famous musicians, will conduct the party to operas and con- certs at various places, and will introduce them to some of the renowned living musicians and com- posers. There are unusual advantages in both of the trips planned for this year. The summer tour to Europe offers students of the college wonderful and unusual opportunities for foreign travel. But it has an additional value. It inspires in them a desire for reasonable economy, in ordertliat advantage may be taken of these opportunities. Any girl who conceives the ambition of becoming a member of one of these parties early in her college life will find herself, by practising wise economy, making definite progress toward realizing her ambitioni Pagr om' hzmrlrvd foriy-nigh!

To enter the library properly you must stumble just inside the door. This may be accomplished by placing the right toe behind the left heel and falling forwa.rd. A little practice will perfect this step and it will be found a very useful and graceful method of, as it were, Putting the best foot forward. Having thus made sure that your presence is made known to everyone in the library, you proceed to the History alcove. This alcove is always full and you may be sure of disturbing the largest number of people here. You ask each girl in turn the assignment, how long it takes to complete the lesson, and whether or not she considers it difficult. 'You then glance at the reference books, select several which are signed up for that hour, and cross the library remoted from the History alcove, that your discovery by the girls who have signed up for the books will be practically impossible. You seat yourself at the table where are also the two friends who have accompanied you and :mother girl who is as you at once observed, buried in study. At this point is appropriate to partake of the chewing gum. It may be mentioned that two sticks of gum will make much more noise than one. or even one and a half. If you wish to appear to the best advantage you will make paper wads of the wrappers and aim them at someone sitting at one of the center tables. You will no doubt hit her, whereupon she will turn and say in an audible whisper, How do you get that way? By this time you will have assumed an expression of absolute innocensc and have fixed your eyes upon the book before you. She may or may not be deceived by this, but it is assured that she will take no more drastic measures, so your life is spared. You will now study for some ten minutes, then sigh wearily and remark to your com- panions that you are bored. They too are bored and it is fitting to engage in conversation at this point. It is well to have always on hand some good jokes for library use, for there is nothing quite so restful as a hearty laugh. The fourth girl at the table will pass several disapproving glances in your direction but it is quite proper to ignore these. Finally she will ask you in a timid voice if you would mind being more quiet. To this it is proper to reply, You're darn right we would, - and proceed with your conversation. She will then gather up her books and proceed to another alcove,.which should be the signal for boisterous laughter on your part. The sound of steps on the stairs warns you that the librarian is approaching, whereupon you become quiet and study for perhaps fifteen minutes, or until the librarian has left. lt will now be necessary for you to have another book from another alcove. On your way to get this book you will stop at all the tables you pass, and inquire as to the well being of your friends. Having satisfied yourself on this point. you return to your own table with or without the book and proceed to relate to your com- panions what gossip you may have acquired on your journey. You will all no doubt be moved to laughter which you should make no effort to restrain. Everyone in the library will glare at you for this, but it is an evidence of good breeding if you can appear totally unconscious of their glances. You will then glance at your watch and if you find that you have not spent the traditional two hours, toward the preparation of the lesson, the remaining time may be most properly spent by glancing through the society columns of our leading newspapers or by looking through the latest number of Vogue. When you have finished this. you gather up your books and together with your friends depart for your dormitory. On the homeward walk it is customary to sing lustily some such fitting refrain as, VVe'rc in college not for knowledge, but for college life.
