MCELREE INTRODUCTION Our glorious example s worth much more than gold to youf' f!v1 Such was the legacy received by the class of 1906 from the de- ' parting class of IQOLLQ and in attempting to follow the fglorious ex- ample referred to, we have undertaken the publication of the second edition of the Argo, ' WVith the determination to do justice to their class and college, the Board of Editors have labored diligently to make this book interesting and enter- 'it Q' the Soph's, who are a worldly 'set and need a word or two,-- QTQL , l taining to all who in any way may feel an life here. To those who have so kindly assisted us, JEO CXPTCSS OLII' Sl1'1C61'C would not have been able to fulfill the task Annual was considered the Early Settlers, and Should you ask us, whence interest in W'estminster and the in any way whatever, we d sire gratitude, and to say that without their assistance we assigned us. And as last years a pioneer, so we too look upon this year's as among beg our readers to be lenient. VVhence these legends and traditions, XV ith the fragrance of the class room, Wfith the shout and cry of ball field, VVith the fine imprint of learning, VVith the doings of the students, VVith their frequent Hunks and failures, And the trials of patient teachers In their seeking to instruct them? Wfe should answer, we should tell you, From From that greatest seat of learning, the halls of old VVestminster, - From tl1e land of foot ball players, From the land of the swift runners, From the Hall, the Gym and college, Vtfhere from senior to the preplet They seek knowledge and instruction. 9 these stories P The Ea'i2'07'5 ni-- -11, 3 41?-T 12' ' ug-5 22: 1 .Ji-1-V., ?521 ' 1 ' 5.116211 nl ,, J 11 1 X X X. ..1 ....

To prevent them from becoming homesick and to cure any that were home- sick, they were hazed by treating with a hickory stick and cold water. They were then well shaken by tossing in a blanket. By continuing this treat- ment for some time, their homesickness entirely disappeared. They were then placed in chapel next to the glorious Sophomore class, '04, with the hopes that they might imbibe some of the knowledge that class possessed. But not until they came into closer contact with the Sophomores in a flag rush, did the superior wisdom of the upper class have any effect upon them. 'When the two classes were brought together, action took place immediately. Both classes were thoroughly shaken up. and the precipitated Freshmen settled to the bottom. The Freshmen were next placed in a basket ball crucible and heated gently, until all hopes of victory were given up. It was soon observed that a great many changes had been brought about. From Freshmen they had been converted into Sophomores. The Sophomores now obtained were placed upon the dia- mond in the presence of a new and powerful class of Freshmen, and treated as before. Violent reaction between the two classes was noticed. VVhen the action spectators. Their The Sophomores ceased, most of the Freshmen had been deposited on the ground. were next heated in the flame of an Algebra examination for three hours, until all their frivolity passed off. After they had cooled down to the ordinary tem- perature and had been passed through all sorts of humiliating defeats, they were converted into juniors. The juniors were placed in the chapel half-filled with original brilliancy having been previously well-mixed with small quantities of the eloquence of Cicero, the wit of Mark Twain, and the genius of Shakespeare, each junior was allowed to stand on the platform for fifteen minutes until agitation had ceased. After this they were treated with Chemistry, Calculus, Greek and French and were found, by testing, to have absorbed sufficient knowl- edge of these branches to change them to Seniors. The experiment started with verdant Freshmen, and we have now seed them changed successively into Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. It now remains to carefully compare the properties of the Seniors with those of the Freshmen, to see if, in any way the Seniors suggest the Freshmen with which the experiment started. But accurate calculations cannot be made until Commencement. At that time the intellect of each should be carefully weighedg and by subtracting from this result the former weight of their intellects, it will be possible to determine whether the percentage gained is sufficient to give them a sheepskin.

Its name was loved and feared throughout all the land, for it was great in wisdom, power and honor. E In the first year of its reign it went up against the tribes of the Sophomores and overcame them in foot ball and basket ball. And the women also prepared themselves unto battle, and arrayed themselves against the great Women of '05 and utterly subdued them. And it came to pass at the time of the return of the year, at the time when the tribes go out to choose colors, that the princes of '06 departed from the ways of their fathers and chose for themselves banners of Grange and Black. And after this it came to pass that the king of -the Freshmen declared war against the king of the Sophomores, and the hosts of the Freshmen came up to do bat- tle. And the Plain of Athletics was black because of the multitudes of the Freshmeng but before the battle was at an end a great terror seized the Fresh- men, for the Powers of They appeared and put them to flight. And it C211116 to pass at the end of that year that the fame of '06 had spread throughout all the land, and there was no more spirit left in the other tribes and nations, for the princes of 506 increased in wisdom and power, and glory was .ilflcgjd unto them from day unto day. 0 f if in And it came to pass in the third year of the bi' 'oowthat they were greatly prospered. and They arose and said: Give, and the princes of '06 an- swered and said: 'Wafhat shall we give P and the voice answered and said unto them: junior Orationsf' So the princes of '06 arose with one accord and gave the Junior Qrations. And great wonders filled the breasts of the nations, for never before had a class in one year given all the junior Orationsg and it was said among the nations that the order of them was higher than any that had gone before or had come after. And it came to pass that the time of yearlfor Chemistry Explosions drew near. And '06 went up unto the lab. to do experiments. And behold two 25 books awaited them there, and one larger than any that had heretofore been used, for great was the capacity of the minds of '06, for lo, were they not famed for wisdom? And there arose a contention among the princes of lo6, Whether it be right to print an Argo or not, and behold, the right prevailed, and they edited an Argo.U Now the rest of the acts of '06, hrst and last, are they not Written in the book of Doctor, the President, and in the record of the Scribe, and in the Chroni- cles of the Historian, and in the heart of each Prince of loo?

Some time in the eighties, in the little town of Prospect, Pa., a babe was born, destined to be one of the miglitiest powers of his time. Dodger has been making history ever since he came to college, as a good student and a loyal upholder of his class's honor. His great renown lies in his quarter-back playing on the class football team in his 3d Prep. year. Dodger is now our class President. EVELINE M. BIGGER. Therels a girl here, in college named Bigger, 'vVho's cutting a pretty fine figure In every line that she tries. In her youth she received such a squelch In her French, that she's taken to 'VVelsh, And studies it now with a Iohn. She declares it shall be her life's work, And she never her duty will shirk. PEARL B. CARTER. Pearls have always been considered among the most precious and alluring of all earthly possessions. Our class is voted by all as one of the most fortunate in the college, for lo! a Pearl is in our midst. Although Pearl did not enter our class until the beginning of the Junior year, she has already added to our glory by her illustrious presence. SAMUEL EARNES1' CALHOUN. . Coonie,' has well been named Earnest, for he goes at everything with a vim. I-Iis push has been felt in football, baseball, basket-ball and on the track. Coonie is a bright, cheerful student, a most art- istic decorator, and one of VVestminster's champion rooters. VVILLIAM FRANKLIN CHRISTIE. Chris, or 'Docey, our genial ice-and-lurn- berman, is one of our good fellows. I-Ie is a good bugologist, being especially good at catching Flies- for the second baseball team. I-Ie is a fine singer, a good track man and an authority on the Bible. ' 27 4 .gr -2--in ,A 1-'-:r.i '.f,! - 23?-L,-:r,:::A-,i., CHARLES FLEMMING CLUTTER. l'CharleS, who comes from Florence, is not a fruit dealer nor an organ grinder, but 'O6's most famous twirler. Never can we forget the look of wonder on '05 faces, as man after man fanned out in rapid succession. Clutter is an adept at pony riding, and a noted bluffer. G. L. COCHRAN. Cupid is a loyal upholder of JOG. He is one of the most popular men in School, and is a great mathematician. His trueworth .was not fully recog- nized until he was elected Associate editor of the ARGO. He is also a member of the Holcad staffi His life work has not yet been announced. WALTER RAYMOND DAVIS. VValter Raymond Davis, better known as Cap, comes from Greenville, Pa. He delights in athletic sports and is an artistic baseball player. He holds a place of eminence in the social world, is a' very mod- est fellow, and seldom says anything unless there is something to talk to. His favorite expression is Rowdy-dow. His future intentions have not yet been announced. JAMES DOUGI'IERTY. This and the accompanying photograph will in- troduce to you James Dougherty, Jr., the man from Back East. The photo is a good likeness of Jim, but does not do him justice. You should see him to appreciate him. He did not enter the race for a Sheepskin, with the class of '06, but by fast running has caught up with us, and is now a happy Junior. Lewis JOHN DAVIDSON. Lew, when not otherwise busily engaged caring for his younger brother, is actively pursuing a sheep- skin. He also made a record rushing the pigskin as a speedy Mend. Lew is a typical American, and a leader in all gym. work, excelling all in the standing broad grin. 28 LEE Roy DEEVERS. After having a violent quarrel with his nurse, Roy escaped from her clutches and joined the class of '06, then in its infancy. He is still characterized by his tempestuousness, he is, however, a loyal Iu- nior, a good student and an expert in basket-ball. BERTHA JANE DoU'rHErr. Somewhat apart from this village and nearer the town called Butler, Lived our fair classmate and friend, who is loved by all those who know her. Into our school she did come, and excels all in vir- tues and graces. Studious is she in her work, and 'congenial with all her associates. One whom the gods have intended to brighten the lives of all. WILLIAM JACOB EVERHART. Bill, an honorary member of the class of '06, hails from the beautiful town of Sharon, eighteen miles distant. William is a heavy fellow, of the broad type, has a remarkable physique and is gen- erally known throughout the student body as an ex- cellent football player, debater and society man. ETHEL FINNEY. All lands join hands in honoring our class, but Egypt has been especially good in sending Ethel to us. Ethel is a ine musician, an excellent student, and a most charming classmate. She is a good worker in everything in which she participates, always rush- ing off with, Oh, children, we must hurry. EIDITH BELLE GALEREATH. Edith is a dignified maiden, with a fondness for study and has seldom been known to Hunk, but in class it invariably is, Oh, kids, I'm scared to death. I don't know a thing. She is always dreadfully glad to see you, and so dreadfully happy. For her the banquet was just dreadfully lovely. 29 HEBER LEMOYNE GORDAN. Gordie, who hails from the Buckeye State, is a great bucker, having made a place on this year's 'varsity team. His most noted characteristic is his winning voice, which, when accompanied with his sweet smile, make him a winner in his chosen pro- fession-canvassing. EMERSON E. HAZLETT. ' Emerson, the ice man, came to college in the fall of 1903, in care of his brother Howard. He was a member of the '06 relay team in his sophomore year, is a member of the lecture course committee, and one of the Adelphic preliminary orators this year. ALONZOA 1WAE HOAGLAND. Alonzoa comes to us from the country, near Volant. She did not enter our class until the spring term of 1904, but is truly a worthy member of '06. She is a good student, a charming classmate, and is a willing worker at whatever she is called upon to do. XNILLIAM V. IRONS In January, 1903, 1rons appeared on the scene of action at VVestminster College. Bill is the per- sonification of the old saying, Still waters run deep. He takes college life seriously, and keeps most of his thoughts to himself. His ambition is to be a doctor. RANKIN SMITH JOHNSON, Johnson was born in the early eighties. His early efforts along educational lines were made in one of the far-famed 'flittle red school houses, and in the New W'ilmington High School. He then en- tered VVestminster College, and after much hard study, to say nothing of pony riding, he has at- tained to the dignity and honor of the Junior class. 30 GEORGE ANTHONY LEw1s. This young man whom I write about is- a noted character. He has great literary ability, which is now being utilized in his work as Editor-in-Chief of the Holcad. Lewis is one of the Inter-Society contest essayists. AULEY lx'ICAULEY. This innocent looking fellow is Young Auley. He has been with us for some years, but has kept so very quiet that there is little to say about him. Although he is a very brilliant fellow, he has never been seriously troubled with the swelled head. It may be said of him, VVhat sweet delight a quiet life affords. JAMES HOWARD MCBANE. Mac, surnamed Sal, is one of those quiet fellows of whose worth people hear very little until it is de- mionstrated to them, perhaps, by Junior Oration. We are all very proud Of Sal, and we regret to confess his one uncontrolable habit, that we leave you to in- fer from his fine qsan. A MARY MYRTLE TWCCALMONT, Mary Myrtle. McCalmon,t in the year '01 Came tO Westiiiinster, not only for fun But to gain knowledge in every way- In science, art, in night school, too, they say. The gentlemen, she liked to entertain At socials, banquets, as occasion came, Yet she still pursued her studies with care, And of college honors receives her share. ADAM RCTURDOCK MCCLURG. Adam is not the man of whom we read in the Bible, for his ribs have often been counted in the gym, and they're all there. Adam is an expert smoker, an old-timer at hill climbing and an authority on anything that ever happens in the professional world. 31 Ross S. MCGOWN. The managing editor-yes, this is he, A kindly and brisk-looking chap, Wlio always resembles the hard working bee, Since he ever has business on tap. He's tall and he's jolly and. light-hearted, too, As Southerners generally are, And in giving orations so ,strong and so true McCown is reckoned a star. H ELEN AMANDA MELVILLE. How dear to her heart is the college, Westiiiiiister, NVhich fair Helen Melville has come to attend. Her gaiety, graces and charms she brought with her From Braddock, 'tis said, where her life she did spend I Before she did come to be one of our number, To work and rejoice with us, till the glad end. JANIES CASPER NEGLEY. Ever since he cut Prof. Hewie's hair too short Neg has lost his Hclragl' with the Faculty. How- ever, he is still as popular as ever with the fellows. Although short in stature, no chicken roost's too high for Jim. He's great on Iui Jitsu, having thrown nearly the whole class of 'OT in the flag rush, LUCILE G. NEVIN. ln New VVilmington, Pennsylvania, For at present this town's her abode, Lucile's seeking a co-education, And she's far along VV'isdon1's rough road. Tis needless to speak of her learning, She knows everything mortals know, And doubtless in climbing Farne's ladder She will leave us all far below. THOMAS RoscoE PATTERSON. Our Thomas, known only as T. R., is entirely free from bad habits. He shows great skill in de bating, in a very few minutes, arguing a question from seventeen standpoints. T. R. is a zealous stu- dent and agreat reader. Hisgleisure time he devotes to long trarnps in the country. 32 CHARL1zs LARIMER PEAIRS. , Like all great men, Charles hails from the rural districts. He is distinguished for his love of study and staying' qualities. He is a zealous worker, and, though fitted for any calling, he is at heart a Jacobite and will preach. GLENN MCKILLIPS PIERCE. In 1903 Glenn quietly drifted into our midst. He is noted for a love of sleep and a profound dis- like for anything in the form of hard work. He in- tends graduating with us, and afterward to study medicine. Davin IRXVIN Rose. The Rose of '06 is not strictly an American Beauty, but a wild rose taken from the fields of Cono- quenessing to add its fragrance to our class. Rose is great on the spiel, and a great track man. His best time was made one night when handicapped with four heavy chickens. XMILLIAM ROTZLER. Rotzler joined our class in the fall of 1904. just in time for the line up for Junior orations. He has no bad habits except his love of sweet cider. He has been known to walk six miles for one drink ta gal- lonj. He is decidedly studious, and has been seldom known to- flunk, . EDGAR Reese SAMPSON. Sammie was born somewhere in the coun- try-where, is not dennitely known. Although small, his marks in class show up big enough. His chief delight is in bothering or playing tricks on- some one. Sammie is far-famed for his heroic de- fense of a turkey. 33 AMY ANNETTE SEIDE1.. Over the hills from Mercer, Another maiden came To join the ranks of 1900, And help increase its fame. Her stay with us has been but short, But since in lab. she's careful, She will be with us longer yet And escape a fate so fearful. JULIA RUTH SNODGRASS. Ruth is one of the few girls who have belonged to the Tribe of l06 since the First year of its reign. Unlike the Hebrew Ruth, who was fond of Boaz Cbeauxj, our Ruth prefers only one. Always bright and smiling, she confirms the statement of one who said of her, She's just the sweetest little thing. ALEXANDER NEWTON TANNEHILL, On September 8, 1903, Newt. eluded the watch- ful care of his nurse, and via. the Sharpsville Flyer, triumphantly appeared in our midst. Very soon Newt. made his debut into society, and, from all appearances, will be a shining light. He has also developed some 'peculiar traits, prominent among them being that of hill climbing. LAURA THOMPSON. Crowned with laurel means her name, And 'tis by such the Greeks proclaim The ones with fame and honor blest. '1 Wo honors hath this maid possessed- The first, within her name you see. The last, a home 'neath old WVestminster's tree. Scorr NEVIN WVATT. E This mysterious 'tShadow'-' appeared in New XlVil.111i11glfO11 in the fall of '03, and soon made its presence felt in the college world. Of it the profes- sors have often exclaimed Great Scott! 'vV'att a phenomenon. Shadow is noted as a very diligent reader.

M Freshmen - of green and white, not knowing one recitation room from another, QQ N the fall of 1904 we entered the old college building under the colors 10 b but by the kindness of some higher classmen we were led to the chapel. After the customary devotions the next day's lessons were announced, and five of them were in the freshman schedule. But supposing that the Fac- ulty had assigned this double work as a compliment to our ability, we settled down uncomplainingly to the grind. On returning to school the next morning what was our surprise to find the sidewalks artistically decorated with the numerals 'O8. ' VVhen our class was organized we found that we were just about one-half the number of our would-be instructors-the Sophomores --gg so we decided that what we could not do with our physical powers, had to be done by our mental ability. Believing that discretion is the better part of valor, we de- cided not to raise a Hag. But oh! the fun we had with their posters! VVhat must have been the chagrin of the Sophomores to find, after a night of toil and turmoil, that the morning sun shown on not a single poster. Even the girls of their class would never have known what their seal fyO7D was being attached to had not a few of the posters circulated from hand to hand. Wfe have heard it intimated, too, that these little play papers were rather expensive to our rivals, and that a few objected to paying the price. The annual two-mile relay race was held on October 14, 1904. 'VVe knew, before our team started to train, what the result would be. But we at least showed that we know how to take defeat when it comes rightly, and we are not at all ashamed of the record that we made on that eventful day. Wfe cannot boast of our numbers. Gur class may look small in chapel, but the vacant chairs of our class rooms are always filled by irregular Sophomores.

In religious life, music is most important. There are ' 1 a few people who are tone deaf, 'just as others are color blind, and to but to most persons sacred music is service is empty and unsatisfactory these music probably affords no pleasureg such a part of worship that a religious without it. Wfe are fortunate in having a good department of music in our college. The Literary Societies all have music on their prograis, the evening orations would be incomplete without music, and the oratorical contests invariably have musical numbers. ' Wfe have a fair equipment and excellently educated instructors. The director of the department, Mr. M. Luther Peterson, is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, and has studied in Europe. He has proved himself a successful instructor in piano and vocal music. He is also excellent as a chorus conductor. Miss Wfarner, the assistant in the department is also a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, and an equally successful instructor. From time to time the department gives recitals in the college chapel. The programs of some of these follow: Mendelssohn Mendelssohn, October 21. 1904. ' , . . . . .

MCCORMICK, Baritone DIRECTORS ROOM-CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 4.1 HERE is no truer sign of a broad and liberal culture than a genuine appreciation of the highest forms of Music and Art. He is a man 0 i 1 with but half a mind, whose ears are dull to the one and his eyes blind to the other. Not long ago, a great and simple inan, in speaking of Music, let fall this striking phrase- the Glory of the Eternally Beautiful Music. Every lover of Music will see at once the truth and beauty of the expression. But not less quickly Will every lover of painting recognize the Iaptness of the phrase as regarding Art. The man or woman who is blind to the beauty of these two worlds, is missing a part of the greatest glory of life, and his mind, in these respects, lies like an uncultivated garden. Nor do we need, as many suppose, a technical education in order to appre- ciate Art. Skill in painting may give a large knowledge of the mechanical part 42 of producing a picture, and yet no work of the painter show any glory of eternal beautyf, Among the Russian pictures at the St. Louis Fair, was a rough, unfinished-looking painting of a shepherdess and some sheep. It was a study in oils, done by a poor, oppressed, eighteen-year-old Russian peasant lad, who could neither read nor write. He had seen an artist at Work in his village, and when the man returned the next summer, the boy showed him the sketch, and was at once urged and helped to go to St. Petersburg for the training he needed. Thus we see that there may be great skill, but no per- ception of beauty, and, on the other hand, a Wonderful, poetical conception of the glory of all true Art, and little skill The man who has both skill and true artistic instincts, is a genius. The most of us, however, can be appreciative even if we have little or no skill, and can, by observation and study. be able to know a good picture. Westminster College has an Art Department, which, while sadly lacking inf much needed equipment, has been able to produce good work. Wfhy? Be- cause of the high and true ideas of Art entertained by the instructor, and be- cause there is a continual eitort to attain, even in a small measure, in every pupil's work, the best and truest artistic result. Of the long and tiresome struggle to train hands and eyes, of the careful, stroke by stroke, production of a picture, or of the repeated Eirings and tests before the design on the china is fully developed, of all these things, only those in the department can fully know. But the 7'65'1LlfS-- the rivzislzed work - these the College world ought not to pass by! VV hy is it true, that many a student graduates who knows nothing of the work of the Art Department? VV e would justly think him a strange student, who had never attended a Musical Recital during his College course. Is he less ignorant who has never tried to appreciate Art? NVe plead for a fuller recognition and cooperation of Department with Department, so that no student shall leave school without some training along all lines. By opening his mind to the beauties of this world, the student of Wfest- minster will go forth to the battle of life not only armed as was the knight of old, but, like him, also bearing in his heart, the lofty inspiration to courage and honest work that comes from a true love of the Heternally beautiful. 43 wvwvaa fi an lm, Y. M. C. A. Q' 'Q' other phase or department of college activity is so closely and vitally connected with the deeper and more serious life of the college man ,Mu as is the Y. M. C. A. For twenty-three years has the Y. M. C. A. of Westminster' College been making its influence felt among the students. The Association was organized in December, 18-82 and since that time has been conducted with varying degrees of interest and activity. The high-water mark of attainment in this respect was perhaps reached during the year IQO2-IQO3, but the work of the present year under the leadership of XV. D. Mercer,7o5, has been conducted in a steady and thorough-going way that has been productive of good results. The work of the Association begins in the fall term when, with the aid of the Y. VV. C. A., a reception is given to the new students. A like reception is held at the beginning of the winter and spring terms. But the most direct way in which the Y. M. C. A. comes in touch with the student body, is in the Tuesday evening meetingsj Once each week, the young men come together in the college chapel for an hours meeting conducted by one of the students who is appointed by the prayer meeting committee. These meetings have been espec- ially helpful during the present school year. being- characterized by freedom from restraint and a readiness of expression which is refreshing. ' Another channel through which the Y. M. C. A. works, is the Bible and Mission Study Classes. In the Mission Study Classes the group system is foi- lowed, but the groups are usually somewhat larger than in the Bible Study. The countries which are being studied this year are Japan and the Philippinesg last year India and Egypt were studied. These classes are attended by the ladies as well as the gentlemen and the number of members enrolled in the various classes is over fifty. The Association is connected with the college world at large by the dele- gates which it sends to the various conventions and conferences and with the greater world of activity by visits of the State Secretary and others connected with the Y. M. C. A. work in general. The newly elected president of the Association is sent each spring to the Presidents' Conferenceg this was held last year at State College. Four men attended the Summer Conference at Lakeside, Ohio, and six men went to the Bible and Mission Study Conference held last fall at Allegheny College, Meadville, Pa. Indications point to a Stu- dent Conference to be held during the spring term under the auspices of the W7estmir1ster Association. similar to that which met last year at Xenia and the year before that at Allegheny. p The practical efhciency of the association as a factor in college life would be much increased by the possession of a building which could be regarded as a home for the two Associations. Such a building may only become possible as the Alumni and friends of the college .co-operate with the students -in their work and plans for the highest good of the Association. C. C. A. 44 v. W. c. A. 'Q 'Q' - HE Young NVonien's Christian Association of Wfestminster College was organized December tenth, 1889. Before that time the Christian young women of the college had most loyally supported and encour- C aged the work of the Young Men's Association, but their helpful spirit found a greater field for usefulness in their own organization. Although the life of the association ,has been comparatively short, yet it has been a life, full of faith and good works. During the last year every department of the work has been in a flourishing condition. Most of the committees have gone about their work with interest and energy. Out of the eighty girls in college sixty are members of the asso- ciation. The Tuesday evening prayer-meetings are usually well attended,-the average attendance being forty. And these meetings are not uninteresting. Thoughts and perplexities regarding spiritual things arise in the girls' minds and in these free and unconventional meetings opinions are exchanged to the enlightenment and help of every girl.. The one quiet hour set apart in the weelc's round of duties and pleasures is refreshing and uplifting. The devotional work of the association, however, must not be emphasized to the neglect of the educational. Three classes for Bible Study have been con- ductedg and three, together with the young men, for Mission Study. The work in Bible and Mission Study cannot be too strongly urged upon those who are to be the church's future leaders at home and abroad. The Associationls value socially is evident in all the study and devotional, as well as strictly social meet- ings. The local work, encouraging Christian living among Wfestminster students, is of course the first desire in the hearts of the Association girls. However, our work might become narrow and selfish were it not for the affiliation of the local organizations in the world-wide Y. VV. C. A. VVe keep in touch with our sister Associations by sending delegates to conferences and by receiving visits from the State Secretary. Tn July, 1904, our Association was represented at the Stu- dents' Conferences at Silver Bay by Miss Mary McElree. Qn January II, 1905, the Secretary for Pennsylvania and Maryland, Miss E. jean Batty, made us a helpful visit. On February 9, the world's call for Christian help and sym- pathy was most inspiringly presented by Mrs. Lawrence Thurston, a repre- sentative of the Student Volunteer Movement. Every young woman who holds herself aloof from the Association work deprives herself of a great delight and of a broad opportunity for helpfulness. B1 H. 45 x Bible Study TBLE study has always been a factor at Wfestminster. Formerly it was included in the college curriculum: some part of the Bible was iw' i taught during the fall term in each of the classes from the Second 6 Preparatory to the Senior. These classes recited once a week accord- ing to the schedule and all students were required to take the subject. But in IQO2 Bible Study was dropped from the curriculum, and since that time it has been carried on by the Y. M. C. A. The method by which the work is now carried on differs radically from the old one. The books used are arranged for systematic study, which requires about fifteen minutes daily. Instead of meeting in large classes, as was the former custom, the group plan has been adopted wherein from six to ten fellows meet together on Sabbath afternoon to discuss informally the questions that have come up in the week's study. Five different books are used as follows: Preparatory, Life of Christ as found in Markls Gospel, Murray, Freshman, Life of Christ and Harmony of the Gospelsf, Burton, Sophomore, Acts and Epistles, Bosworth and Bur- ton, Junior, Old Testament Characters, WV. VV. White, Senior, Studies in the Teachings of Christ and His Apostles,'l Bosworth. In 1901 the membership of the Bible Study Department was fifteen, com- prising three classes. Since that time it has grown to over sixty men, who are enrolled in seven classes, There are also several classes among the ladies which are supervised by the Y. W, C. A. Although -the systematic study of the Bible is still in its infancy here, we believe that it will continue to grow up as the conception of education be- comes broader and as the true value of the Bible is more fully recognized. It has been prophesied that in the near future a man will not be able to call himself educated who has not a good working knowledge of the Bible. John R. Mott said: 'fThe student should be reminded that in the Bible is to be found the basis of the best system of law and political economy that has en- dured, that it contains the most faultless history ever written, the history of a race that has infiuenced after history more than the history of Greeks and Ro- mans, to which he justly pays so much attention, that its philosophy is the most profound and satisfying which the world -has ever known: that its system of ethics is absolutely unsurpassed, that it contains the most truthful and inspiring biographies ever written, and notably that single biography which has influenced mankind more powerfully than all others combined. Can a man graduate from a college to-day and honestly call himself educated if he has neglected this most remarkable library of essential kowledge P i May all future graduates of Vlfestminster be able to say that they are edu- cated in this broad sense.

Intercollegiate Oratorical Association of 'Western Pennsylvania, H VVest Virginia and Ohio was organized early in 1895. lt was first known as the Intercollegiate ,Oratorical Association of Vlfestern Pennsylvania and Wt est Virginia, and included the following institutions: Allegheny, Bethany, Geneva, Thiel, N1Vaynesburg, Wfestnainster, West Virginia University and 'Western University of Pennsylvania. The nanie was changed to the present one at the time of the admission of Muskingum in 1900. The membership has changed sonievvhat and last year only six colleges were represented in the contest. VV. U. P., due to the lack of interest, was represented only a few tiines and dropped out entirely in 1899. 'West Virginia University withdrew in 1900 after having won three contests. Thiel was not represented last year but still retains her meinbership. A The object of the Association is to iniprove the standing of college oratory ainong the colleges of the organization by holding an annual contest. ln this it has succeeded well and at' present a friendly rivalry exists that has awakened a greater interest in oratory, and at the sanie tinie stirred up more genuine col- lege spirit than ever before was apparent. Wfestniinster can well be proud of her record for she has won no less than four medals and received second place twice. 'West Virginia has won three niedalsg Allegheny two, and Geneva one. Vlfestniinster has also been honored by once having elected as president of the Association one of her under- graduates, J. A. Chambers 'oo. I. M.

WARNOCK Intercollegiate Debate HE third annual debate between Geneva College and Westmiiister Col- lege was held at Beaver Falls on March 2, 1905. The question for debate was, f'Resolved, That the railroads of the U. S. should be Q owned and operated by the Federal Government. The Geneva de- baters were S. G. Finney and R. M. Young, who took the affirmative side of the question, and the Westiniiister representatives were lfVilliam I. Everhart, '06, .and I. Frank Schrader, ,O7, who supported the negative side. ' Geneva supporters were very confident of winning, while we felt a little dubious as to the outcome. But when, the Genevaites had spun their beauti- ful theories and built their wonderful air castles of Utopian centralization of power in the Federal Government, Everhart dealt his ponderous blows, shiver- ing their fabric to splinters, we settled back in our chairs with a sigh of relief, and then, when Schrader brought forward his well chosen arguments with such smooth delivery, our, expectations of winning rose highf And we were not disappointed, for when the judges, President Moffat of VV. Sz I. College, President Staples of Beaver College, and Attorney I. M. Bu- chanan of Beaver, returned a unanimous decision in favor of the negative, we realized that victory had again come to old Vtfestminster. And a glorious vic- tory, too. For had not our own journeyed to foreign soil and snatched a hard fought victory from the very teeth of the enemy, and had they not even reversed the usual order of such contests viz. that they are won by the home contestants. Qi' Mr. 'William I. Everhart, of Sharon, Pa., entered the Sophomore class of Vlfestminster college in the fall of 1903. He played center on the Varsity foot- ball team 1904. He is a member of the Adelphic Literary Society and was elected by it to represent the college in this debate. Mr. I. Frank Schrader, of New Concord, Qhio, entered the Freshman class of Westminster college in the fall of IQO3, having finished his preparatory work in Muskingum college. He is a member of the Philomath Literary Society and was chosen by it to represent the college in this debate. These two young men by their hard, consistent and persevering labor, have brought much honor upon VVestminster as well as upon themselves. Long may they be remembered for it and may it be said, thus doth VVestminster to her sons, whom she delighteth to honor.', , The first of the Geneva-Wfestminster debates was held March 5, 1903, at Beaver Falls and was won by Geneva. Our debaters were H. C. Hildebran, '03, and H. Bailey, 703. The second Geneva-WVestminster debate was held at New Wfilmington on March 6, 1904.

Since VVestminster is a denom- inational institution, and primarily aims to educate for the ministry, she offers to her students many opportunities for public speaking. The Faculty requires each student to join. in this literary work so that all may be benefited. To this end there have been established at Wfestminster four societies: The Chrestomath, Philomath, Leogorean and the Adelphi. The membership of the first and third is limited to the ladies: that of the second 'and fourth, to the gen- tlemen. Every Monday night these societies meet in their respective halls, which are in the main college building. The meetings are well attended, for most of the students take a lively interest in the work. There is a rather helpful spirit of rivalry among the four societies. This rivalry, however, lies for the most part between the Philoniaths and Adelphics. Two annual contests foster it. The first is the Preliminary contest, which is held early in the spring term. Three members from each society contest for the delivery of the best oration. The winner then represents the college in an Inter- Collegiate contest. Then at the end of the spring term comes the Inter-Society contest. This event is looked forward to for the greater part of the year. In this contest each society is represented by four men: one in each of the following classes: Declamation, Essay, Qration and Debate. The winning side always celebrates its victory, and everybody feels that this is a deserved privilege. The following opinions of our societies will close this description: Cur alumni say that they were greatly benefited by the literary training' received in TVestminster's Society hallsg our Professors declare society work to be equal to a regular class study. if rightly pursuedg and we students know that even our short experience has helped us, and that we. too, shall have reason to thank old VX7estminster for the training received in her Society halls.

The board hav- 3 ing withdrawn its support of the foot ball team, a mass meeting was held, at 'which the needed money was pledged by voluntary subscrip- tion, and Roy WV. Hayes, late of VV. and J., was chosen coach. 4 Pop arrived the following Monday, and then things began to boom. Candidates came out by the score, until it was impossible to furnish them suits. Such abundance and variety of material certainly should have satisfied the most exacting. There were veteran back field men of years experience, big lines- men who had never seen a pigskin kicked, and verdant freshmen who avowed their intention of trying for hump-backf' The high pitch of interest shown at the opening of the season never died out, and even in the stormiest weather, when practice time came, the sidelines would be black with students who cheered their team with song and yell. Hard, snappy practice was a feature of the entire season, and such constant, persistent dieting and training was never seen at VVestminster before. Too much credit cannot be given to the boys on the scrub'i team who came out night after night and cheerfully took their bumps, without which the winning team would have been an impossibility. The first game of the season was played at Morgantown. The iWest Vir- ginians had promised to 'fdo 'Pop' Hayes' infants to a frazzle, but they were treated to a vigorous surprise. The infants bucked their line, held them for downs and when the whistle blew, they had been able to score only three touch- downs and no goals. V The next game was with Geneva. For the first time in several years VVest- minster journeyed to meet her rival at Beaver Falls with the -hope of victory. Geneva had imported a strong professional back field, who seldom failed to gain ground. Yet by steady, consistent play, Vlfestminster carried the ball over Geneva's goal line. Here the fates deserted us. Wfestminster fumbled the ball at the critical moment, a Geneva man caught it, carried it back over the goal line, and saved the day for his college. The final score stood o-0, but Geneva acknowledged her defeat later, when she canceled the return game, giving as her reason that she could not win. The following week, VVaynesburg College having canceled, a professional team from New Brighton was taken into camp to the tune of 75-o. lt has always been Wfestminsterls misfortune to have to play university teams because they can offer good guarantees. So October 15, saw Vlfest- minster's team with rooters a hundred strong, take their way in a brilliantly decorated coach, for the game with TN. U. P. at Allegheny. The game was of unusual interest, and, when we consider that it was a contest of amateur against professionals of years of experience who had been scored on but once the entire season, a score of 38-O was no disgrace. VVe soon forgot our disappointment however, when a week later Allegheny College went down to an ignominious defeat, by the largest score ever made against any team on the local gridiron: 76-O. 68 The climax of the season camethe following. Saturday at Grove City. The day was an ideal one, Long before time for the kick-off the sidelines were packed with rooters. Songs hlled the airg Blue and Wfhite answered back to Crimson, and Crimson io Blue and Wfhite, with cheer after cheer. At 3 230 the ball was kicked and the struggle was on. Time after time XVestminster carried the ball to within a few yards of Grove Cityls goal only to lose it on a fumble and gain it again on downs near the center of the field. At last the ball went over. Then pandemonium broke loose. Hats went into the air, or were smashed on the ground: boys hugged each other and yelled: girls held each others hands and screamedg and it is recorded that Dr. Campbell took an uncom- monly large chew of T. The game was in many ways the best of the season. Officials Campbell and Aiken knew their business and cut out all jangling and rough playing. The game was marred only by the unsportsmanlike action of an organized band of Grove City tin horn rooters, who made it their business to drown out XA7estminster's signals. After the first touchdown, the result was never in doubt, and the game closed, as we smilingly told our friends, with the score H23 to o on their own grounds. The victory was duly celebrated on the next Monday night with a ghost dance and bonfire at the Hall. Election Day and TV. and Ifs cancellation broke up practice and sent the team to Hiram. November I2, in poor condition. Although they repeated the Grove City score, the injuries received by two of our back field men was felt in the return game with C-rove City, at Cascade Park, a week later. This was a new departure in foot ball and met with some opposition, especially on account of the crippled condition of the team. Grove City had strengthened her eleven since the last game and the teams were evenly matched. The battle was hard fought from start to finish. Neither side scored. Vtfestminster had the ball within a few yards of Grove City's goal in the first half but by a costly fumble lost her only chance to score. After this game there remained but the final struggle with Allegheny on Thanksgiving Day. Two of XNestminster's back field men were still unable to carry the ball although the regular team was put on the held for the first time since the Hiram game. The day was bitter cold and the large crowd was im- patient for the game to begin before Allegheny's players arrived on the field. It was then discovered that Allegheny had secured -no official and intended to put in one of her own players as referee, without consulting lWestminster's man- ager. VVestminster objected, and after considerable altercation, consented to take one of Alleghenyis substitutes, Smith, who was afterwards reported to have had money up on the game. His conduct was aptly described later by one of Alle- gheny's own men, as simply daylight robbery. Near the end of the last half Westminster carried the ball down almost to Alleghenys goal line. Here she was penalized time after time by referee Smith till her quarter back punted back over Allegheny's goal. Then on account of darkness and the crowd on the field. the umpire called the game. The score stood 6-5 in Allegheny's favor. Wfest- minster's manager immediately challenged Allegheny to a third game to be played with neutral officials, on any grounds. But Allegheny.discretely re- fused to answer. Thus Westminster closed the most successful season for many years, and having been fairly beaten but twice, and that by University teams, she justly claims the championship of all colleges of her class-in NVestern Pennsylvania and North Eastern Ohio.

It is wholesome, exciting, and easy to be understood. It comes in a season when the weather rules out all other athletic sports. Basket ball is also the only game in which the smaller colleges can hope to compete successfully with the larger universities, without indiscriminate hiring of players. For several years Wfestminster has been well represented in this branch of athletics. Our team, this season, has been even stronger than usual, Qldfe have met many of the strongest teams in the country. Wfhile we have lost five out of ten games played. we have met with but one decisive defeat. Twice our old time rivals from Grove City went down in ignominious defeat before our 'isturdy bravesf' The University of VVest Virginia was defeated by an overwhelming score.

U NTEREST was aroused in track athletics about the middle of the winter term, when XNCSlI1T1l11S'EC1' received an invitation to attend Uni- versity of Pennsylvania's Annual Field Meet. Little could be done this term except a few cross country runs and some special work A ' r in the gymnasium. Atthe opening of the spring term the men began practicing on the athletic field. The track had been put in shape, but was heavy, and continued so after the trials had been run. Qwing to this fact, the time made at the trials was rather slow. On comparing the time of the different runners, it was found that Thompson, Clark, Stewart and Lambie would represent our college. The team left Friday, April 22, for Philadelphia. On Saturday, twelve hundred athletes gathered on the Franklin Field. About the middle of the afternoon our race was called and positions drawn. Wfestininster got the pole, Georgetown Law School next, then Villa Nova, Muehlenburg and Allegheny. Our First two men and Georgetown's ran neck and neckg then Stewart K'killed his man about the middle of the quarter, thus giving Lambie a good start. He was not pushed during his entire quarter and came in an easy winner, fifty yards ahead. Georgetown, our only dangerous rival during the race came in second. As prizes, each member of the team received a gold watch, and a silk banner bearing the names of the schools taking part in the race, was presented to the college. 'We also sent Thompson, Lambie and Stewart to take part in the St. Louis race. Lambie took second place in the half mile finals and Stewart fourth place in the hundred yard dash. lfVith such a start and so many winners to choose from it looked as though Westiniiister was to have a successful season. However, the meet of the colleges of VVestern Pennsylvania, to be held at Geneva was declared off. Allegheny would not hold a dual meet and Vlfashington and jefferson made unreasonable demands, giving as their excuse that we had too many good men. Hence the only other event in which our track men took part was the Inter-Class Meet held about the middle of May. The Inter-Class Mile Relay, the principle event. was won by the class of 1905. Rv 'o5. 76 RELAY TEAM The Tennis Association fi' fi' HE Tennis Association of VVestminster College was organized in the spring of IQOO by lovers of the sport among the faculty and student body. The membership, which at first was thirty, has gradually in- i i creased to forty., The courts are centrally located near the First United Presbyterian Church. At the time of organization the association constructed three courts, but the increase in membership demanding more, two additional ones were built. They are all kept in excellent condition, and are often all in use. Each year contests are held in both singles and doubles. During 1904 the championship in singles was won by Herbert Patterson, IO7, and in doubles by John Campbell, '07, and Herbert Patterson, 'O7. orricizrzs. President, . . .... . . VValter K. Long, 'o5.

D. b ' importance of its work tuo piopositions can be logically maintained: ' First There is need for the denominational college and local in- i stitue for higher education, in order to meet a need that is not met and cannot be met by the larger and more distant institutions of our land. Second, The maintenance and generous support of these is along the line of broad philanthropy true patriotism and wise provision for the growth of both State and Church. j ' QClass of '8o.j presenting the claims of the smaller college and emphasizing the 1 b ln arguing that there is need for the denominational college and local insti- tute for higher education in order to meet a need that is not and cannot be met by the larger and more distant institutions, no word derogatory to the greater institutions of our land need be uttered, nor a single fault be found with the fathers and mothers who select these distant places for the mental culture of their sons and daughters. All should rejoice in the largeness and success of Princeton, Yale and Harvard, of Vassar, lhfellesley, and Smith, and all the other great centers of learning that command national respect. All should be glad for the parents that can bid sons and daughters spend four years of earnest effort amid these classic surroundings, and youths are to be congratulated who have opportunity for self-culture in institutions that are historic and enriched by the treasures of many generations. But after all the just claims of the larger institutions have been admitted, much remains to be said concerning the importance of the denominational college and the local institution for higher education, in their adaptation to need not be met by the larger institutions, in whose greatness and success all can rejoice. First of all, there is need of the local college to furnish opportunities for higher education to the large number of young men and Women who cannot bear the expense of attending the distant and large university. The expense side of a college education is a small matter where parents are affluent, Where checks can without embarrassment be drawn for large tuition, college expenses and travel by the way. But to those of small means, where the wealth consists of children, Where the riches is mainly in throbs of ambition, the problem of securing higher education is a different matter. It means little for some parents to furnish from 6oo to 1,ooo or 1,200 dollars for the maintenance of a son or daughter for a year in the distant schools, but these financial consid- erations are insurmountable barriers to the larger number who crave college education, and who would use it to the glory of God and the welfare of country when received. Granted that a few boys of moderate means may find their way to eastern universities, and by wood-sawing, janitor work, COITI- missary club agency, or tutoring win their Way, it is to the smallest number 82 that the door of opportunity can open through these strenuous efforts, Let there be, however, the local institution which can be reached with the minimum of traveling expenses, where the tuition of the year will not exceed 45 or 50 dollars, where the living expenses may reach a minimum of 32.50 a week and be on a scale of bounty at 35, then can the youth rich only in his ambitions enter the doors of higher education. Such opportunities are offered by many worthy colleges, W'estminster, Grove City, Geneva, Wfashington and jefferson, Muskingum, Tarkio and Cooper, all aiording opportunity for a college course of four years at little above the maximum cost of a single year at some of the larger institutions. Wfhether such opportunities have been of service to the world and Church let the character of the graduates answer. Benjamin Harrison, Wfhitelaw Reid, and a host of others great in national affairs were educated at Miami University, Ohio. From Muskingum College, with an endowment of QE4.o,ooo, and a building plant worth but S25,000, there have gone forth such men as President Harper of Chicago University, President Thompson of Ohio State University, Professor Moorehead of Xenia Theo- logical Seminary, Professor McClenahan of Allegheny Theological Seminary. and a host of others. The roots of the great Chicago University thus reach back to little Muskingum, while from Miami there flashes a light into the ambassadors court of Edward VH. Franklin College also, with its almost Soo graduates, has an enviable reputation for producing great and useful men, among these there having been four U. S. Senators, one Governor of Ohio, one Minister to japan, one Comptroller of the U. S. Treasury, one mem- ber of the Supreme Court of Ohio, one celebrated author and scholar, and almost aoo ministers of the Gospel. U. S. Senators, Edgar Cowan, joseph Fowler and YWilliam Shannon were graduates of Franklin. Hon John A. Bingham, Minister to japan, Hon. Wfilliam Lawrence, Comptroller of the U. S. Treasury, and Hon. john YN. Wfelsh of the Supreme Court of Ohio found the path to knowledge and greatness here. Of college presidents andpro- fessors, Franklin has sent forth a large array, among them Professor Joseph Wray, author of Mathematical Series, Dr. George C. Vincent, first president of our own Westminster College and Dr. David R. Kerr of VVesminster Col- lege, Missouri. VVhy we come to have the proverb, f'Some men are born great, and some are born in Ohio,' is thus easily explained, Ohio being studded all over with College towns, meeting the aspirations of the humblest of her citizens with doors of opportunity. The record of the small college in other states is perhaps just as striking. President McKinley was educated at Poland Acad- emy and Allegheny College, Meadville, Pa. james G. Blaine was graduated from what is now Wfashington and jefferson College, From Westminster have come forth lawyers, judges, physicians, ministers who have taken equal rank in the work of life with earnest men from the larger institutions. These facts furnish basis for another, that the establishment and main- tenance of the smaller colleges is reasonable, because within a given area of educational progress, they can minister to the intellectual, moral and spiritual needs of the young as fully as can the larger. Since education means the feed- ing of the mind with truth and the development of soul powers by the discipline 83 of study, it certainly can be claimed that the essential elements of true education can be furnished by the smaller college as truly as by the larger. As thirst can be as truly slaked at the brook as at the river, and muscle developed in the gymnasium 2OX4O feet as in one of cathedral dimensions, so can thirst for truth be met bythe smaller institutions and mental muscle developed in the colleges of small degree. No doubt some peo-ple will always prefer when visiting New York to stop at the VValdorf-Astoria or the Regentg but others find adequate accommodations in some hotel scarce offering capacity for one hundred people. No doubt the new Bellevue-Stratford of Philadelphia will have appointments and provisions unexcelled, but it is doubtful whether we can ever surpass the cuisine of the old Bellevue, with its cottage-like appointments. You thus perceive that in the line of bodily nourishment the main thing is proper food and its proper preparation and service, whether this is in the fres- coed hotel or beside the mountain camp hre. The old adage that a log with Prof. Mark Hopkins on one end and student james A. Garfield on the other would constitute a university is based upon this fact that true education con- sists in getting truth, and not merely in finding propitious- surroundings. Prof. Brashear has remarked that three things are necessary for success in making astronomical obscervations, Nan instrument, an atmosphere and ani operator, and that these are mentioned in the inverse order of their importance. An instrument is important, but much can be done with a poor instrument, if there be a good atmosphere and a skilled operator. The instrument may be poor and the atmospheric conditions unfavorable, and yet much may be accomplished by a skilled operator. But let the operator be without skill, no worthy results can be obtained, no matter how fine the instrument, or how clear the air. In college work, three things are necessary, an equipment in college buildings, an atmosphere of moral earnestness among students, and professors who are wise to teach, these three factors also being arranged in inverse order as to importance. Wfith poor college equipment, noble work can yet be done, if there -be the atmosphere of moral earnestness among the students and skill of instruction in professors. Vtfith even general lack of moral earnestness among students, a skilled professor will yet accomplish much good in individual casesg but let there be lack of ability to teach in the faculty, and all noble results of college life will be wanting. It is possible, therefore, to have the main essentials of college success, the teacher and the atmosphere of moral earnestness in the small college. Wfhen Professor Mitchell held the chair of Greek in VVestminster College, half a score of the larger institu- tions had yearning eyes upon him because his students took first rank in post- graduate work wherever they went. He remained true to his Church and to his alma mater until his death, illustrating the fact that it is possible for the small college to have great teachers and do the greatest of work. It is possible to secure for all our denominational colleges and smaller local institutions true men and women for teachers, who in scholarship and moral earnest- ness will be the peers of those who serve in larger institutions, and who will be recognized as such by those favored with the wider environment. To bring about this, all that is needed is more generous endowment, not phenomenally 84 large, but sufficient to furnish earnest men with proper remuneration for their toil. Since all true education and development of character is dependent upon bringing men of large thought and purpose into contact with youth, and since earnest effort by the student in private study is largely dependent upon the catechetical demands of the class room, it is evident that the close contact between teacher and student in the smaller college has a value not easily over- estimated. It is a significant fact that President lNo0drow VVils0n is asking for Princeton College an increase of 32,500,000 in endowment, so as to increase the number of teachers, and so affect that advantage of personal contact de- manded in all true education: an advantage which, as President Moffatt of Vlfashington and jefferson naivelv remarks, has been enjoyed in the smaller colleges since their beginning. The record of past years also goes to show that only by the maintenance of the denominational college vivified by the evangelistic and missionary spirit of our denomination can we hope to procure a corps of workers who will enable our Church to man its pulpits and to fulfill the missionary command, Go ye into all the world. Of the Q79 ministers of our Church reported one year ago, our denominational colleges furnished 545, local undenominational col- leges, oo: the larger institutions but 169 while 150 remained to be distributed among sixty-one colleges, sixty-nine of our ministers not having been graduated from any college. The earlier supply of ministers for the Churches which united to form the United Presbyterian Church came from jefferson, VVashing- ton and Franklin Colleges and Miami University. Franklin College still pours her annual contribution into the seminaries of our Church, leading the rest of this group in her contributions to our ministry. The ministerial graduates from each institution are as follows: Franklin College, 69: Jefferson College. 33: Miami University, 15: Vllashington College, 8: Total, 125. In another group of undenominational colleges the contributions to our ministry are as follows: Grove City College, 36: Wasliiiigloii and Jefferson College, 30: Ge- neva College, 24: Total. 90. Very few of the older and wealthier institutions have any representatives in our ministry. Neither Harvard nor Yale is repre- sented. Princeton has II graduates ministering in our Church: Johns Hop- kins, 2: Brown has 1: Amherst 1, and Willianis 1. In contrast with all this, our six denominational colleges have furnished a total of 545: Vlfestminster, 224: Monmouth, 209: lvluskingum, 78: Tarkio, 22, Knoxville, 7: Cooper, 5. The statistics of the Foreign Field do not differ proportionately from those just given, since of the 37 regularly appointed male missionaries in India, Egypt and the Sudan, as reported a year ago, 9 are graduates of Wfestminster. 6 of Monmouth, 4 of Muskingum, 3 of Tarkio, 2 non-graduates, and the remaining T3 distributed among seven colleges. The record of our denominational college in the wider work of the whole Church is likewise most interesting. Of VVestminster's 1,355 graduates, 442 became ministers of the Gospel, 255 teachers, 144 wives of professional or busi- ness men, 120 lawyers, 85 physicians, 75 wives of ministers, 41 Foreign Mission- aries, 40 teachers in Freedmenls schools: at least one-half entering the direct work of the Church. Muskingum, with its 340,000 of endowment and 325,000 85 of equipment, has furnished for the whole Church 207 ministers, 32 missionaries. 16 workers among the Ereedmen. Sixty per cent of its graduates have entered Christian work. From the records of all -our denominational colleges similar statistics might be compiled. The influence of our llV6Sl1C1'11 institutions is felt profoundly in the East, at least 9 of our prominent denominational pulpits in Pittsburg and Allegheny being filled by graduates of Monmouth, while the students of Tarkio and Cooper hold worthy place in the classes of our semi- naries. ' In the light of these facts, it is evident that if our denominational life is to be continued, and men and women produced to prosecute the work of the Church at home and abroad, then must there be the support 'and maintenance of our denominational schools. Judging from the past, from what other source shall the Church obtain its ministry, or the hundreds of missionaries needed for the evangelization of India, Egypt and the Sudan? It would be un- charitable to say that the graduates of our larger institutions are any less con- secrated to God or less spiritually minded than the graduates of smaller colleges, but the opinion may be ventured that the ministry of the Church and her missionaries for a long time will have to come from the regions of the Church and the environment of the denominational college, where there is not felt, as in our large cities and universities, the ambition for wealth and the desire to have large part in the material progress of the world. Gnly in our denomi- national colleges, whether at home or abroad, where the atmosphere is sur- charged with evangelistic and missionary enthusiasm, will there be raised up a force of worlcers to go forth for world evangelization in Jesus' name. Only by way of brief suggestion is there need of emphasizing our second proposition, that the maintenance and generous support of our smaller col- leges and local institutions for higher education is along the line of broad philanthropy, true patriotism, and wise provision for the growth of both State and Church. - Philanthropy means the love of man, and must be wide as the race. The maintaining of a few magnificent universities here and there in our broad land, furnishing our opportunities for higher education to the aniuent only, would be as contrary to the spirit of our democratic institutions as the maintaining of a few palatial homes, with the vast multitudes of our population living in cottages and hovels. God bless the great universities, for we need the inspira- tion of their greatness, but the special need of our land is a line of Christian colleges running through it, like a chain of forts in the battle line of truth. Wfhile a great university, with ten millions of dollars in equipment and en- dowment, can have mighty influence for good, twenty Christian colleges with half a million each in equipment and endowment would almost immeasurably surpass the former investment. ' True patriotism must include local patriotism, or the desire that our own community shall equal others in the comforts of life and means of culture. There is no reason why the Wfestern University of Pennsylvania may not equal the University of the East, other than lack of patriotism in our local citizen- ship. There is no reason why Pennsylvania College for Wfomen may not be- S6 come the shrine of culture for our own part of the state and for vast adjacent areas, until it shall equal in importance the noble schools of the East, and be to our homes of the Wfest and South what Vassar, Wfellesley, Smith, and Bryn Mawr are now to our state. There is no reason why XNestminster College may not become the glory of our denomination in the East, and all the colleges of our denomination challenge the respect of the world in their equipment and efficiency of instruction, except the dishonorable one of denominational unfaith- fulness to the very citadels of her power. Qui' colleges have suffered both from lack of local support in their own communities and by the indifference of the Church at large. Local communities have not given the support that might have been given. The affluent in the Church at large whose sons and daughters have been educated in the larger universities, have felt their responsibility to the cause of education ended when their tuition has been paid. This fallacy, when realized, will open the channels of beneficence. No student can be educated at th cost of tuition, but is in some sense a benliciary upon the endowments that have been laid up. Men of means in our Church, whose children have been educated in eastern universites, owe something to the general fund of education, and can best pay the debt through as bill of exchange to the credit of local and denominational institutions, whose efficiency lies at the foundation of our Churchis success. . That effort in this line is wise provision for the growth of both State and Church is almost axiomatic. Harvard, Yale and Princeton were once small colleges, but became large through growth of population and the generous support of benefactors. WVhen the population of our whole country has doubled, when Pittsburg has a million of inhabitants, and when her surrounding towns are cities, then will there be the blush of shame at memory of the present gen- eration, if, with all planning for greatness, there is not laid broadly the foun- dations of knowledge. Wfhat is true of the State is true also of the Church. Our holy war of evangelization cannot go on without our Wfestminster, our Monmouth, our Muskingumj our Tarkio, our Cooper, and our Knoxville col- leges, anymore than can our army and navy maintain equipment without its Wfest Point or Annapolis. It is no longer a question as to whether these institu- tions are worthy of the Church, but whether its members shall be worthy of them, living with the spirit of broad philanthropy, true patriotism and wise pro- vision for the future. lNhen the sum total of the influences that have blessed the world has been analyzed in the bright light of the future, the small college serving with a large faithfulness will be found high on the roll of honor. lt will be found that through the multiplication of the smaller institutions the fires of knowledge, patriotism and zeal for Christ's kingdom have been kindled over wide areas, and that with the torch of truth dashed in new centers, new communities have felt unmeasured uplift in life and character. It will be found that the Church has had her very foundations of success here, and that to the nation they have their fountains of patriotism. Let the work of the small college be sufficiently broadened so as to do foundation work for every line of life. Let the prospective merchant, lawyer and physician find opportunity in them to lay 87 broad foundations for success. Let the prospective farmer le-arn the secrets of nature as to the chemistry of the soil and adaptation of seed to locality and the possibilities of true living upon the farm. Let young womanhood gain a culture in which strength and beauty shall be blended. Let all he bound to- Uether by the golden girdle of allegiance to Christ. so that the Church of the Z5 . future shall be one in aspiration and effort, the minister and missionary having behind them a constituency sharing their vision of the coming kingdom and serving as fully and faithfully as though ordained to special work. ,LH-,iakifle -,4:-12-'--f.

' A Kitchen Romance fi' 'if' GLANTON, MASS., October 3, 19- DARLING BETTY:-I have just received your note, and, Betty, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your sympathy. You have no idea what a comfort you are. Yes, it's all true. Wife lost everything in that dreadful Merchants, Bank. I wouldnt mind it so much for my own sakeg but poor papa, he feels it so. Since then he has done nothing but work and worry. Yes, I really don't feel so badly about our loss. You know what dreadfully independent ideas I always had. And now I'm to taste the joys of independence. Betty, I am really going to earn my own living. Papa was dreadfully opposed at first, but by the most skillful use of my powers of persuasion, I prevailed upon him to consent. So now I am to try my brains and paddle in the art of pedagogy. There are so few vacancies, but my Wfellesley diploma ought to' win a way for me. But if I fail to secure the title of Hschool marm' I know another, to me just as honorable, and even more desirable. But I'll not tell you my scheme unless the case demands. I don't wish to give you any unnecessary shock. Lovingly, PEGGY CL,xR1c. GLANTON, Mass., October io, I9- DE,-X12 QLD BETTY1-I have decided, and I mean to stand by my convictions. For sake of friends and kindred dear, I have sought all kinds of conventional employment. But the various school superintendents didn't, seem to be of my opinion. So I am going to be a cook. I haven't been studying social problems all these years for nothing. According to my often quoted theory, domestic work is perfectly honorable, and requires a practical scientific education. Now I'm going to prove my deductions, and as well, make some further investigations. Cooking I know and likeg and besides the money means much to me. I won't depend on papa now after all the expense of my four college years. I have Figured it up, and I find that a cook's salary is really good. The scene of my future culinary labors is Norton, a small city about forty miles from here-that is, if the aufhor of this ad. will except me. Poor dad, it would break his heart, but he doesn't know. I had applied for a school in Norton, so to-day when I told him I had about secured a position there, he asked no questions. Isn't my plan lovely? Farewell then, to the conventions. Happily, PEG. 93 NORTON, Mass., October ao, IQ- DEIXR OLD BETTY:-I have just a minute now while dinner-is cooking, so I seize the opportunity to congratulate you on your generous amount of good common sense. I know you were dreadfully horrified, but you took the sensible view of the matter, and spared me useless remonstrances. Mrs. Livingston was evidently much dismayed by the appearance or her would-be cook, though I tried to be as cook-like as possible. Can you cook ? she asked with surprise, HI can, madam. I have never had a position, but I know I can do the workf' ' My business-like manner evidently impressed her favorably, and she quickly accepted me. Oh! its great fun, Betty. The Livingstons are lovely-so con- siderate and respectful to me. CI am Maggie for cooking purposesj The novelty tascinates me, and honestly, I'm delighted with the work. You should see my kitchen. My modern methods are evidently a revelation to the Liv- ingstons. How Aunt Clara would grieve over my plebian tendencies! I wonder what Charles Reed would say, too? Do you know it seems to me that he hasn't called quite so often since papa's failure. As to the other servants,'One can hardly call their society exhilerating. Annie, the maid, is engaged at present in a tlirtation with a fat policeman. The new chauffeur, who came yesterday, is really interesting-awfully polite, and dOesn't look a bit like the ordinary chauf.g but he does remind me so much of Jack Murray. You remember jack. I-Ie is the cousin Maud used to talk so much about, whom we were all so anxious to see, and who was so attentive to me at a certain class reception of the long ago. I hear that he has just returned from his four years' stay in Europe. Of course, I take no notice of him-the chauffeur, I mean. Tradition is too strong for that. Lovingly, ' Pizo. ' NORTON, Mass., October 31, 19- DEAREST Bizrrvz-Really you can't imagine how pleasant this life is-so very novel, too. I'm all enthusiasm for the work. Oh. I wish you could just taste some of my exquisite dinners. I do get a bit lonely sometimes, but I'm still satisfied with my theory OE the servant girl problem. Indeed, experience only strengthens my convictions. ' Really, Betty, the new chauffeur is provokingly interesting. He is terribly handsome, with stunning features, and such fearless, yes, positively audacious, gray eyes. I suppose I should properly be bored with him, but to be real honest, I dOn't believe I am - yes, I'm quite sure. But he does talk so intelligently. Oh! Betty, I must be a dreadful flirt. For COh! how contemptible I amj I almost believe that I really want to make a good impression on this chauffeur-I, a Clark. It is awfully annoying. Do you think it could be possible for any one experimenting in the servant problem to come to disregard social distinction. and through daily association with servants to actually imbibe their ideas and tastes? Oh, nog it could not be. ' 94 It is certainly remarkable the resemblance, Iohn, the chauffeur bears to Jack Murray, as I remember him. It's more than just his looks, too. Really, he puz- zles me. Wfhat would jack the aristocrat think of my comparison? But he, too, has some independent ideas on the social question, though he used to say he doubted the sincerity of my convictions. But I will be rude to Iohn, yes, I will, though it is hardly 'consistent for cook to snub chauffeur. I know he is a gentleman - 'financial reversesf' perhaps. Yours in doubt, PEG. NOIQIIONV, Mass., November 15, 191 DQXRLING B13'r'rr:-I'll have to give notice here at once.

Betty, I simply must confide in you, scorn me, though you will Oh, oh, the horror of it all! I, Peggy Clark! he a servant, a chauffeur. You see what my theories have done. I have disregarded tradition, reason, everything. But it's true, it's true. I may as well face it. Wfhat use is it to deceive myself? Poor papa! Vlfhat would he think if he knew that I had-yes, I must say it- fallen in love with a servant? But after his earnest avowels, surely he could not scorn me. But John must not know it. I must get out of here immediately. Yours in despair, PEGGY. NoR'roN, Mass., November zo, I9- D.-XRLING BETTY z- The coward, the snob! To think that I could ever have believed him. Cook though I am, Charles Reed is beneath my notice--even as I am beneath his. Perhaps you are wondering what this outburst of wrath means. Let me explain. Mrs. Livingston gave a dinner to-night for some friends of Mr. Livingston. Vlfhat did Annie do just two hours before but elope with her policeman. Poor Mrs. Livingston was in despair. After all her goodness, what could I do but offer to go into the dining room? You don't know what a sacrifice it was to vol- unteer to go before guests in a subordinate position. For Iive been priggish in spite of my professions. I made myself as attractive as possible in the white cap and apron, and took my place with the intention of discharging the obnoxious duty as gracefully as it was in my power. Imagine my astonishment at finding myself looking into the face of Charles Reed. My embarrassment -was quickly succeeded by indigna- tion as I beheld his expression. For a moment it was pure astonishment, then embarrassment, and then scorn. Once our eyes met but his refused recognition. I-Ie was not haughtier than I. Anger spurred me on, and there was never more condescending waitress or more perfect service. Keen was my delight in knowing that the situation was much more uncomfortable for him than for me. I'm going to the theatre to-morrow night with my friend, the chauffeur. He is a true gentleman. Say what you will, Betty. To-morrow is my last day 95 here, and Ilm going to disregard all else but the agreeable present. I wish Charles Reed could know that Ilm going out with a servant. Bykthe way, John is leaving here to-morrow, too-for a better position, he says. Well, I'll soon be at home again- a failure inmy chosen vocation. Your unhappy PEGGY. GLANroN, Mass., November 23, 19- DARLING BETTY:-Prepare for the greatest surprise while I relate to you the ending of all my woes. Oh, I can hardly believe it yet. It's all j-ust like a fairy tale. Dear papa, he was so delighted to have me home again. I-Ie asked so few questions, that my short, dark experience as cook will always be a blank-to- him, but not to me. Yesterday I heard that jack Murray was in town, so I was not much sur- prised to-day when Aunt Clara told me that a gentleman, a Mr. Murray, wished to see me in the parlor. I-Ie did not hear me entering, and was standing with his back toward the door. Even there he looked awfully familiar considering the four years since I had seen him. Attributing this to his resemblance to John the chauffeur, I was prepared for a remarkable likeness, but Betty, I was not prepared to look into the face of John himself. I was simply dumbfounded- -lack, or John, was enjoying my surprise'immensely. Seeing this, I became indignant, and then he explained. I-Ie told how, a few days after his return from Europe he hadfbeen expounding his opinions to a friend as to the honorableness of servant labor, how his friend had dared him to prove the honesty of his con- victions, and how he had by chance engaged at Mr. Livingstons, where he saw and recognized me. Yes, the wicked creature, he had known all the time. WVell, Betty, Ifll never exploit any more social doctrines, I've given up the- orizing. And, Betty, Illl not seek another position, for- yes, you may congrat- ulate me, jack has engaged me as cook. Yours peacefully at last, PEGGY, E. M.

I wanted to go to sleep againg but an old boy full of side whiskers walked into my room as though he owned the college, threw open the window-shutters, and said Good morning, Sir. Well, I thought it must be the Provost, or the Dean at least, and I scarcely knew how to answer, but thought it safe to echo his sentiments, so I said Good morning, Sir. I-Ie turned around quicker that I ever expected to see him move againg his hands' went up in the air, and he said in really horrified tone: Oh Sir, you mustn't 'Sir' me, Sirg I'm your servant, Sirg it's against the etiquette of the Varsity, Sir. I swallowed both sheets and half the blanket trying to keep from laughing That is no whole cloth either. After breakfast I went to call on the Senior Tutor. 'When I came away I don't know whether I was really visible or not. I felt much too infinitesimal to be seen except through a microscope. I-Ie thinks all I labored so hard Q! ! ! lj to learn from you will scarcely give me a start here. It certainly wont if I have to learn as much as he knows. A fellow who was in my room to-night told me that the old tutor has the reputation of knowing absolutely everything. One time the other tutors tried to stick him, so they all read up Chinese Music in the encyclopedia and started a learned conversation on that at dinner. After bit they got into a discussion on a- doubtful point and referred it to old Vtfalker to decide, for he couldi tell, of courseg he knew everything. VVell, VValker waited long enough to deposit a little smile beside his plate, and then looked up and said: Really my views have changed since I wrote that article. Some of the English freshers are quite as green as we Americans are. You know we all have dinner together in the hallg the tutors sitting at high table upon the platform, the scholars of the college next them, and we commoners down at the other end. No person can leave his table in hall till all have finished, the table has been cleared and the head waiter has trotted up to high table to get permission. Several fellows made breaks on that to-night, and were sent back to their places in shame and ignominy by some servant. I remember the iirst time I came to stay with you, the only visitors I had the first night were Skinny Price and Biggy Gamble. Shortly after their call I appeared on the foot-ball field in the role of a light opera complete in one act. QIncidentally also I have not forgotten the barrel-stave applause behind my back.j I had several more visitors- than that to-night. I believe by rights I ought to have been out calling at the rooms of the freshers who were calling ' 102 on me. If there was anybody in the college who was not out making calls to- night, I should like to meet him. Everyone who came in noticed the pictures of your football teams Achim they would murmur, VVhat fearful armor you wear when you play footerg what a dreadful game it must be! I-Iaow many cawsuawlities do you usually have in a game P I finally got it through my head that they wanted to know how many were killed, on an average in a single game. You see over here they put on running clothes and football shoes, and go out and play their English foot- ballg so they think our game is about the most brutal thing imaginable. One fellow wanted to know why we wore pads on our shoulders, so I described the way we dive to tackle a man. I-Iis comment was: Wl1at a deucedly ungentle- manly trick to collar a man that way! You might hurt him. I think I want to play that game, where it is deucedly ungentlemanlyn to keep another team from beating your college. The debating club had its first meeting to-night. Their style of voting on questions is decidedly good. After the discussion was finished the president got up and said: All in favor of the motion please say 'Aye' , and every one fairly yelled Aye Then the president said: f'All opposed please murmur 'No' 5 and again every one roared at the top of his voice and kept it up as long as possible. Vtfhen it grew partially quiet, the president remarked I declare the motion lost by fifteen seconds. The meeting is adjourned. -So is this letter- good bye.

I NCE upon a time there was a student in this renowned arena of learn- ing who, having been separated from parental care, became wise to the fact that, by order of the Powers Behind the Throne, it was up to him to write an oration for public approval. So in a careless man- ner he shoved all his books and papers to one side of his desk, and commenced to light in and get the stuff off his mind. It had always been his notion that the orators did not fly their kites high enough. XNhat's the use of just letting out enough to reach VVashington, Napoleon, or some petty political idea F Nay, nay, my friends, this oration was to have a more lofty ideal. In fact, he was up against it, and he intended to give them all he had in the shop at a bargain sale price. , For about a week he kept his nose pushed deep into volumes of the pre- historic ages, digging up forgotten heroes and phrases, and at last he had the goods and began forming a master-piece. The subject, no matter where nor how you began to read it, didn't mean anything. XV hen at last the day landed he was all in Sunday regalia to greet the rising sun, for to-day the big show is on. VVhen the time came he was very much worried to find himeslf classed with such a poor lot of speakers. He did not fancy such blase young men,-they were my bonus, too e pliwzfbzts to please his stylej But when the pilot cried, Aye, aye, Sir, the gallant youth rushed upon the deck and opened fire with every gun aboard, and even the babies had sense enough to duck behind the man in front, while this spieler of spielers shot forth a line of gab, the like of which had never before been heard. His Delsarte was great, and he had Iui Jitsu beat forty ways when it came to holds on the atmosphere, and as for touching language, Ch say! there is where that boy sure made good. Not a particle of common college tongue escaped his lips, nothing but Latin, Swiss, and an occasional mouthful of Hebrew - and the way he handled it ! He had Maud S. faded at the first quarter post and lame when it came to speed. Every time he worked off a big word or flowery sentence he would search out the mathematics prof. and shoot him square between the eyes, to impress the fact that a correct 105 rendition of the mother tongue is more complicated than the Binomial The- orem. Then he would wax eloquent, work a few Bostonized words out of his system and then, sinking his masterful voice to the pitch of low X, elucidate some of the laws governing Astronomy and Histology and although there was no clue, the poor boy shed a few salty ones and the bunch gave him the '4Chau- tauqua Salute in return. Wheii at last, all damp with moisture he had finished his lap, he nudged the next fellow and called attention to the scared, half-criminal look on the features of the audience. Did he make a hit? Well now I should rather murmur! They were simply squelched, and piled about three-deep trying to get out ahead. When some im- pudent chump asked in a scared voice, Did you write that F the educated youth simply said, Yea, pulled the tip of a saucy blue handkerchief out of his pocket and lit a cigarette that smelled like burning leaves in the fall.

'vo the story of Westminsters progress is but the history of the ' ' changes that have taken place in all her departments and regula- tions. The milestones along her way mark the places where wise plans, or force of circumstances, or perhaps both, have turned her course to one side or another. i If some of her oldest alumni were to come back again, they would find scarcely a trace of the college they left so many years ago. Vlfestminster Col- legiate Institute, founded in a wilderness but few years removed from a primeval forest, and which felt herself fortunate in securing a little four-roomed house in which to carry on her work, would not recognize herself now in the garb of a three-story college building, well equipped Science Hall, and Gymnasium, with the beautiful, smooth, green campus surrounding the whole, and a Ladies' Hall shinning over all like a beacon light, from its high hill. In some of her regulations there has been decided change. The liberty ladies and gentlemen now have of mingling together, both in the class rooms and in social affairs, would no doubt shock the old-time Faculty. The rule forbidding ladies and gentlemen visiting each others Literary Societies without special permission, gives some idea of the care with which the sexes were kept apart in those days. Progress has been made by giving greater freedom to students in this respect, as in many others. Westiniiister has enlarged her borders many times in the last fifty years, and in no case is this more noticeable than in the increase of her Faculty and the enlargement of her curriculum. For almost twenty years after the found- ing of the college in 1852, the Faculty consisted of half a dozen members who gave their lives to the work and grew old with it. They comprised in them- selves Classical, Scientific, and Literary coursesg manufactured and managed their own chemical, physical, and botanical laboratories, and did, each one, what would now be called two menis work. The idea in those days, of a col- lege education seemed to be that of a man who said his ideal of a University was a student on one end of a log and johns Hopkins on the other. Truly, VVestminster's success is largely due to the far-seeing broad-mindedness and the large-heartedness of the man who laid deep her foundations in honesty, truth, and right principles. The old time pupils will always hold in loving remem- 110 flv 'E' HERE is no progress without change. The history of any enterprise brance the memory of such men as Drs. Vincent and McLean, Mehard and Black, as well as others, who by the example of their own splendid characters, as well as the force of their trained intellects, taught them lessons of right- living at the same time that they impressed upon them the importance of clear thinking. The catalogue of studies issued in those days seems very meagre when compared with that of the present. Great stress was laid on the Classical course, the Scientific course was then but in its infancy, and the Literary course was not even dreamed of, while Music, Art, etc., were in a very elementary stage. The principle change in the list of studies consists rather in addition than omission. VVith the increase in number of subjects studied, came a cor- responding growth of the teaching force, which is now more than twice as large as the first Faculty. As an enlarging curriculum demanded additions to the corps of instructors, so it also called for a larger equipment, and this has resulted in the erection of several buildings. During the early days of the college, the chemical labora- tory was placed in the room now occupied by the Art department, and if not a basket of bottles and a bag of bones, its modest array of apparatus could almost have been packed into the aforesaid basket. The Gymnasium was the room beside the laboratory part of which is now used as the library. The connection between the laboratory and the gymnasium seems always to have been a very close one, for when it began to be feared that the students of chemistry, in their eager pursuit of the invisible atom, were more than likely to fire the building, during some interesting experiment, the whole department was moved over to the new gymnasium building, where rooms were provided for its accom- modation. By reason of the rapid growth in the study of the sciences and by the liberality of friends, the present Science Hall which is well equipped for scientific work, was built in 1893. The Gymnasium has not fared so well, and is yet waiting for a liberal hand to raise it out of its present uncomfortable and crowded condition. Erection of the Ladies' Hall in 1886 was another important addition. Be- fore this date, the number of girls attending college was very small, and they had been forced to obtain lodging at private houses in the village. After the Hall was built, the number rapidly increased until now, even its capacity is sometimes taxed. VVith the advent of the Conservatory of Music, came a great advance in the study of this Art as well as that of Painting. VVestminster's growth, though gradual, has been steady and assuredly for the better, though there are those who still blindly chant the praises of the good old times of their fathers. But any one studying the history of the col- lege cannot fail to see that her newU times are better than the old. May she ever, choosing wisely from the things of the past, take the best from them and add thereto the best of the present, thus widening and broadening her influence until it is felt to the ends of the earth.

And would they, did the gong not sound, Y Feel hunger s pangs ? - Oh well ! 'When the night has drawn her curtains down And lights have blinked-at ten.

A Pipe Dream Q 'lf' A HE shaded lamp threw a mellow glow over the artistically furnished den in which Dick lfVaywin sat. He had entered the room a half ' hour before and had thrown himself into an easy chair before the fire, as he dropped his skates from his half-numb lingers. The warmth of the fire and the solace of his pipe made him drowsy and with his eyes riveted on the dancing flames, he saw castles and figures and grotesque shapes, and he dreamed and built air castles as he had done ever since he could remember. To-night, however, his fancies had taken another turn, for had not histutor told him recently that next year he would be ready for the University, the acme of his ambition? Even now he could fancy himself among such fellows as were his brothers classmates and could almost hear their rollick- ing songs and shouts and could almost know the delights of a college man. Mr. WVaywin, Dick's father, was a wealthy broker of New York, and all that money could obtain, he had given to his two sons. Nothing was wanting to give them pleasureftheir home was luxurious, their associates from among the best families of New York, they had traveled to their hearts' content, and now it was time for Dick to complete his education at the University. Wea1'y and worn from a hard day's work, the old man dropped unsteadily into his arm chair and lit his pipe. His face -was furrowed with care and hardships and his snow-white hair told only too well the number of winters that had passed over him leaving their trace on his once brown locks. Wfe can scarcely recognize in this man the Dick Waywin of Hfty years ago, yet it is he. 'fo-night as he brooded over the fire, his head was dizzy and his heart-beats feeblel he realized that he was old and that life had been a failure. This was not the first time he had communed thus with himself, but never before had the picture of his past seemed so darkly tinted, nor never before had he given up hope for the future years. He leaned his head against the back of his chair and, closing his eyes, he let memories come and go. 'lt hardly seemed possible that over two score years had passed since he had left his eastern home and had come west. He thought 117 bitterly of the days of toil and the months of incessant labor that had been his lot for years past. The ranch which he had purchased had not been successfulg the water supply had been low for yearsi his cattle were not many now for he had lost heavily from those animals which he had preserved through the bleak winter by sheer desperation. lfVith each puff of his pipe, his thoughts rambled on and on over the past years, and as the smoke curled from his lips and rose in the air, the spun thread of his life unwound before him. One by one the memories came and paused for him to contemplate and then passed on and seemed to dissolve with the smoke in mid air. He thought of the life he and his brother had led in the west-how different, he mused, from the life they had known before. He thought of their western trip 3 of the brave hearts that had tried to win in spite of difficulties. He thought of his brother's marriage and the few bright years that had followed. Fate had been kind at first but again she had turned fickle, and as Dick thought of those dreary days when his brother's wife had died, leaving the little three-year old Hope to be their sole comfort and encourage- ment, he took one long pull at his pipe as if to ease his aching heart. The little Hope was grown to womanhood now and in the hearts of the two men she reigned supreme. All they had done had been for her that she might know the comforts of life as they had known them. But they hadifailed! Ah, bitterly did Dick realize this. Now they were old and life was almost done and Hope-he dared not think of her future. Q He let his mind revert to former things. He could fancy himself again at his fathers bedside, watching in the room when death stood on the threshold coming to claim his own. He remembered how his heart had ached and how he had tried to be brave for the sake of his broken-hearted mother. Then had come the news of his father's failure in business and at one sweep their prop- erty had been taken away and then, silently, as a flower drops, it petals and is no more, his mother had passed away, leaving her two sons alone with an un- known future. Those happy days had come and gone, he could not help but muse a little about them. Q He remembered-it was but yesterday-those years when cares and anxieties had never intruded, but where ease and enjoyment had run riotg where mother and father had been and when peace and luxury had ruled their home. He remembered how anxiously he had waited till he was ready for the University and then - he was there, living again those pleasant college days with their work and their play. He was in his room again, discussing the probable outcome of the approaching foot ball game with their greatest rivals. He was at the game on that great gala day, wild with enthusiasm, rushing up and down, 118 yelling his throat hoarse, enjoying with all his freshman heart those great heroes of the game who had won the victory, those giants of brawn and muscle who were fitted to bring laurels for their Alma Mater, Une by one the memories came in rapid succession. He was at a regetta: again he was being hazed or was with his roommate on some lark. Now he was at a banquet given by his brother's friends for some of the new students. He could hear the sorrows with which the evening closed and the toasts that had been given, he could see each face as he had seen it that night, lit up by the growing lights and sparkling with the joy that filled each soul. He forgot that very few of those friends were on earth now for was he not with the boys as he remembered them? A to'ast was proposed to which he was to respond. He felt that all eyes were upon him, his hands trembled and his knees shook and with one mighty effort he tried to rise as he had done that night but his heart fluttered strangely, a slight tremor ran through him-then another and then - infinite peace came to him and he was with those boys whom he had dreamed of and so longed for. Thus Hope found him: She gazed in his face in silence, touched by the expression of wondrous contentment and she realized that he had passed away as silently as the embers had died out in his pipe.

Both He and She arrived in New VVilmington at the same Fateful moment, ! J.lJt3 namely 11130 o'clock on the first Wednesday of the second week of September, IQO2. For three days following, these two Young Things lived on in the same town unknown to each other, then .Friday night happened along and its succeeding Train of events. Friday night in New VVilmington is Reception night. At this time most everybody in that humble Burg becomes acquainted with most every other body. And what a lot of Bodies there are! Old acquaintances should not be forgot- teng but if on the next day you don't happen to recognize one you are excusable. The extenuating Circumstances of the previous night will let you out. Right here is where many a Heartache begins. For next morning some fair Co-ed on Her way to the Postoffice meets a Boy. He tips, Mercury drops. Far- ther up She sights another Boy. Surely, she thinks, there's the Boy who helped me put together the pieces of that Lemon Froth Cake-Icing receipt larst night. She nods, and smiles, but it wasn't He. Sudden arrival of Wfarm VVave. This experience follows Reception night just as sure as Shootini' 'Tis a pity that it is so, yet so it is. In the case of our Hero and Heroine, however, such was not the case. They afhnitizedat the first Interview. Found out ever so many things on which they agreed, and disagreed just enough to be interesting to one another. The gods were indeed kind to this particular case. He was a Freshman, so was She, therefore no class rivalry could spring up to agitate the unruffled surface of their Mutual esteem. Yes, all things were lovely. They were both, together in one place, and in one accord. Wfhat more could be desired?- Theygapparently, were entirely satisfied, for that night fFriday nightj, the Boy took the Girl home-i. e., the Ladies' Hall. On the way over He made a Date for the next coming Event, and thereafter made all other Dates in the same way-The Way Over. ' But the next Event occurred to each one singly and undated. The Boy fell in with a Rude Crowd, whose members persuaded Him by force to play Tag with the Fire-Hies which flew about on the Athletic Field. There under the cold glittering light of the Twinking Stars He took His first Open-air lesson in College Gymnastics. that was Saturday night. The same night witnessed a like performance in an upper room of the Hall. A show similar in Spirit, but dissimilar in Letter. The Girl had delightedly 120 accepted an invitation to a Spreadg but soon found that she was the main Lay-out. The leading Lights in this Frolic placed the Poor Innocent in the center of the room, tied Her hands behind Her back, and prevailed upon Her to assume a kneeling attitude on the floor, with Her knees resting across a Broom- stick. About two feet away a Pin was stuck in the carpet. From this com- fortable position our Heroine, just about the time that our Hero was bringing His Stunt to a grand Finish, was reaching forward vainly trying to bite off the Head of the Pin to the great glee of the giggling Gang about Her. Saturday night ended. Both remained alive to tell the Tale, tho' they never did. Some other mean thing attended to that. However. the regularly arranged for Date did come off, and many others fol- lowed. People began to wonder and to talk. He was a hard caseg She was a queer case: Their's was a bad Case. Indeed, some Folks went two degrees further, and said it was the VVorst'Case ever known. But this did not affect the Case. No, It pursued the Even Tenor of Its way thro' Fall, XfVinter and Spring. Football and junior Orations afforded opportunity for the Case to develop a vigorous growth. .Basket ball, and Sleighing gave an added zest to It. Base Ball, and Afternoon 'Walks in the balmy Spring air almost made the Case a never ending Une. Alas! It was not so to be. The sad words of the Poet- It might have been -seem here fittingly to Slide in. The Case which aforetime walked a Path strewn with stone Slabs and railroad ties, suddenly stumbled and suffered a severe jolt. The cause of the stumbling happened along about the hrst day of Com- mencement week in the shape of the C-firl's Fellow from back Home. Here. while the Boy was straining every nerve, and His bank account, too, buying Chocolate Chips and Reserved Seat tickets, etc., to keep ahead in the Race, this Unknown was hanging on in His rear with the easy stride of One Letter per Week answered just as often. Wlien the Fellow made His appearance the Girl Qlooking ahead to the Good old Summer time j signaled for him to take the Pole. Of course the Boy was knocked out of the Running. This was very sad. Commencement week being the one is which Cases are considered all day long, our Hero naturally looked forward to it. Little won- der, then, that the Girl's Inconsideraton jarred Him. Fortunately the jar broke the Spell. He judged that here was a Case which would not be held over to the next Term. Therefore He called the Case, and assuming the role of juror, judge and Plaintiff found the Defendant guilty. And thus another Case was settled. All this took place in the year IQO2 and '03, But IQO2 is no exception, the year 1852-53 probably saw the same thing, and so too, shall the year 1952-53.

A blue haze hung on the distant hills, and the sunlight slanted downward on the yellow and gold of the forest leaves. A spirit of quiet and rest and perfect peace pervaded the ' soft air, all nature seemed to be calling one to come out into the fields and woods, and enjoy a perfect autumn day. Along one of the roads leading' from the village, trudged Iohnf Holt, member of the class of 306. Vlfith his sturdy form held erect, he walked briskly onward, keenly alive to the beauty of the autumn scenery. Thoughts of unlearned lessons and poor recitations were driven from his mind as he gazed upon the panorama of hill and dale spread out before him. Here close by stood a small tree, it's leaves turned flaming red by the magic of the frost king 5 off to his right was a group of trees more somber in their coloring, and still farther away a great giant, stripped of his leaves sooner than his fellows, lifted his bare limbs to the sky. Presently Holt vaulted over the low fence that bounded the roadway, and struck out across the open helds toward the forest-clad hills that rose before him. On he went over meadow land, and through a corn field, where brown corn- shocks stood in rows 3 then across a little brook and through a strip of wood- land, and so on till he paused to regain his breath near the edge of the woods that crowned the hill top. He, stood for some time gazing back over the path by which he come, then he turned and made his way among the trees. He pushed on into the woods till he came to a secluded spot, and here he threw himself down on a bed of moss to rest awhile after his long tramp. Lighting a cigar he began to smoke, but soon the quiet of the woods, broken only by the low song of the wind blowing through a pine tree near by, made him feel drowsy. His head began to nod, the cigar stump dropped from his hngers, he stretched out at full length upon the moss-covered earth, and was soon borne away to the land of slumber. X IF 21 lk X A sigh escaped from the sleeping figure, and as he slowly came back to consciousness Holt rubbed his eyes and sat erect. As he rose to his feet and stretched his stiffened limbs, he glanced at the sun, and gave an exclamation of surprise for he saw that it was but little past mid-day' 'fGeel I must have slept here all night, he said to himself. I guess I'd better pull for home or they'll have a searching party out for me. He made his way to the edge of the woods, and stood for a moment look- ing at the strangely unfamiliar scene that met his gaze. Everything was changed from the day before. 'The helds near at hand were cleaner and better cultivated, more houses had sprung up, and off in the distance where the day before he had left a village, the smoke of a city arose. -He pressed his hand 127 to his head as if to expel some bad dream, and then began to retrace his steps of the previous day. As he came out upon the high-road and made his way along it, vehicles of various kinds passed himg and almost invariably the occupants of these vehicles stared at him and smiled. Some even made chafing remarks, but he paid no attention to these, but kept steadily on his-way. Soon Holt found himself entering the outskirts of the city which seemed to have sprung up in the night like lonah's gourd. As he went farther into the city he made his way to the place where, as near as he could tell, the house in which he had roomed had stood. But it was gone. 'ln its place was a cold, inhospitable-looking business block. He stood staring in utter bewil- derment, unable to understand the changes that had taken place on every hand. Insanity-the thought came to him with crushing force. Could all these things be but the vagaries of a disordered mind? No, the changes had actually taken place. They were realities. Finally he accosted a passerby and asked to be directed to the college. The college? VVl1at college? Asked the man. ' VVhy VVestminster college, of course, replied Holt, somewhat nettled by the others manner. Ol You mean the University. The main buildings are at the corner of Market Street and Fifth Avenue. Go four blocks further on, then cross to the first street to your left. A Soon he stood on the campus gazing at the magnificent buildings that stood where he had been accustomed to see only the Qld College, the red brick science hall, and the gym. Around him a crowd soon gathered, pushing and elbowing to get a glance at the stranger who was attired in such queer old clothes, and who talked so strangely. At this point a keen-eyed little man, the head of the law department of the University, elbowed his way into the crowd and began to question Holt. VVhat's your name? he began. john Holt,', was the answer. VVhere are you from? was the next question. 1 am from here-that is-T mean T was from here yesterday but T don't know where Fm from to-day. A few lmore questions brought out Holt's story. He hadn't much to tell. The day before he had gone out into the woods and fallen asleep, and to-day he had awakened and returned to find everything changed. ' An old citizen who had pushed his way into the crowd, on hearing the name John Holt, stepped forward and said, I knew john Holt, he was a mem- ber of the class of '06, He suddenly disappeared from here about-let me see-yes, it's twenty years ago, and has never been heard of since. He leaned forward and peered into the wrinkled, unshaven face of the stranger, and said, Yes, thatls Holt. Wfhere have you been all these years, Mr. Holt ?,' . It was soon explained. To Holt the twenty years had seemed but a night, twenty years had passed as twenty-four hours. Then he began to inquire for old friends and acquaintances. VVhere is Dr. Ferguson ?H was his fast question. He resigned twenty years ago, and is living a retired life. He is respected by the whole student body. Qnly last night a reception was given in honor of the Doctor and his wife. 128 9 Is Prof. Freeman still here ? he then asked. Yes, he is still with us, was the answer. He has become famous all over the world as the discoverer of the new element, explosuraniumf' And Miss Knott? 'fAlas! She's Knott no more. 'A Wl1at about Prof Hewetson ? Holt then asked. All anti-fat remedies having failed to reduce his excess of flesh, he was forced to give up all his active class room duties but he still directs the affairs of the English department. 'Whfhat has become of Prof Shaffer?'l After years of patient effort to instill some inkling of mathematical knowl- edge into the minds of the members of the class of '08, he was attacked by de- rangement of mind, brought on, the physicians say, by the realization of the futility of his endeavors. After a period of confinement in an insane asylum, death freed him from his afllictionsf' lVhere's Prof. McGill, is he dead too? No, poor man, he's married, some one answered. f'He was forced to give up his work because of an attack of insomniaf' W'hat has become of Prof. Shott? Since inventing the new instrument for weighing electricity, known as the Shottmeter, he has retired to private life, and is now occupied mainly with domestic duties. VVhat is Dr. Campbell doing? He has g'one into politics. He was one of the most noted republican speakers in the last presidential campaign. At present he .holds the responsible position of justice of the Peacef' P f'And Miss Acheson. what is she doing? She has been travelling in this country and in Europe, for some time pastf' Miss Hodgens, I suppose is here yet ?l' Yes, but she doesn't teach any more. All her time is spent in illustrating the Holcad, The Westniiiister Review, The Argo, and the other publications of the University. Is Miss Brownlee still at the Hall? She has control of all three of the large dormitories that are found where the Hall once stood. :'VVhat has become of Prof. Martin ? He is now hard at work securing material for his new book on the Latin verb. Is Perry Kuhn still living? Yes, and he gives promise of being with us many years yet. He retired from active service about eight years ago, and was pensioned for long and meritorious service. And so Holt went on down through the whole list, asking about each member of the old Faculty, and many others he had known. All this time the name of a certain maiden had been uppermost in his mind, and finally he gathered courage to inquire for her. His lips moved but no sound came from them. they refused to form her name, and choking down a lump in his throat, Holt hurried on to ask some other questions. Finally he turned his eyes once more to the towers of the great buildings before him: then he asked the way to the station, and heaving a sigh, moved slowly and sorrowfully away. S. B.

N the morning after commencement a surrey containing four students drove rapidly away from the hotel of a college town. A steady, driz- zling rain was making the roads sloppy, and the gray clouds, which seemed to hover just overhead, made the day dark and gloomy. But the occupants of the surrey did not glance back at the town they were just leav- ing-that place in which they had spent nine jolly care-free months,-nor did they give it hardly one passing thought. Despite the rain and muddy roads they laughed and talked in the highest spirits. Were they not going to Cayuga County, New York, to spend their vacation canvassing for F. B. Dickerson Sz Co., of Detroit, Michigan? VVas not the company they represented as safe as Gibralter, and was not the book the greatest seller of the times? After sixty days of delightful work, during which time they would be received with wide- open arms by the good citizens of that state, they would return to school with purses overflowing with money, laden clown with the profits of a successful sum- mer's work. Thus they started on this great business adventure. There coxgld not possibly be a mistake. There was no such word as failure. After a drive of about five miles they changed conveyances, and, joined by two more school mates at the station, were whirled northward on the train. Two days were spent on the trip but they passed all too quickly for the boys, and almost before they could realize it, they landed in the county seat of one of the central counties of New York. During the entire journey the same jovial spirit prevailed. Care was completely banished. The unaccustomed scenes of the country through which they were traveling occupied their minds and prevented any anxious thoughts about the future from marring the pleasure of the trip. But when the afternoon had been spent in viewing the sights of the town and the little group met again in the station, there was a slightly different ex- pression on their faces. They were not playing pranks on one another and laughing and joking as they had during the trip. Instead they walked uneasily up and down the platform. They realized now that in a short time they must separate and each go to his field of labor. This fact aroused them from their dream that all would be fair sailing, and caused sober looks in spite of the joyful appearance each tried to assume. Soon the all aboard sounded and the first would-be agent to depart, reluctantly tore himself from the handclasps of his mates and stood gazing back at them as the train rapidly bore him away. As he thought that perhaps he would not see a single person he knew during the entire summer, he saw that the venture was not altogether a delightful pleas- ure outing, and it was with a very lonesome feeling that he gazed out upon the now dull scenery. As every moment carried him farther away it also increased the .gloom on his face. 132 Although such a parting had not been anticipated, there were other dis- appointments soon to come, They passed through what our hero had imagined to be a good sized village, but instead an isolated station appeared. Another name on the map, which he had supposed to be a charming little town, was only a very small station. And the next stop was his -destination! He found him- self at a similar small station, with the lake on one side and a high bluff on the other, up over which led the road. He inquired for the town and was in- formed that it was back over the hill, two miles away, and the stage did not meet the evening train. There was but one thing to do. To walk up the hill and try to get lodging for the night. After passing by several rather shiftless looking places he summoned courage to ask to remain for the night. Instead of the wide-open arms, he was received with much suspicion, but after a con- sultation between the farmer and his wife he was allowed to stay. The next morning he established headquarters in the town, wrote some letters and started out in the afternoon to make a few canvasses. He went to three houses without any success, although he had followed instructions to the letter, employed all the tricks he knew. and talked 'till he was completely winded and almost black in the face. He returned to his room tired, hungry, and very much downhearted, although he had received the encouraging information that he knew his story all right, that the book was no doubt a good one, and that there were lots of old women around there who would perhaps be fools enough to buy it. The next day was one of the longest Sabbaths he ever spent. All afternoon he lay on the bed in a vain attempt to sleep, while equally vain long- ings for home and friends filled his mind. He had pushed himself out into the world and must either sink or swim. 4 Determined at least to keep afloat he set out the next morning for a week's work. The agonies of that first week can never be expressed. To walk all day along the hot dusty roads: to enter house after house and encounter equally hot tongued women: to meet the attacks upon his book, his occupation. and his past life in generalg and to beat a graceful retreat when the boiling point was reached by either party. taxed his abilities to the utmost. At the end of the first week his air castle had vanished. The surplus gold which could be gathered together in that country by canvassing for his book had taken an unspeakable remoteness. He faced the fact that he would have to hustle to ever make enough to pay his car-fare home from the forsaken country. Still hoping for better luck, he continued week after week, every day crowded with dismal adventures, a history-making epoch in his life. Long before the time set for making his scanty deliveries, he began to look forward to the time when he could turn his back on such a miserable occupation, and be a respectable, civilized being once more. Contrary to his expectations he was richer in experiences than in gold. These were some of his riches. He had worked hard, had been turned down times without number, reproved and rebuked often. Four hundred times, if at all, he had been called upon to defend the reputation and worth of his book from ruin. Five times he was assailed by hungry dogs, thrice he was forcibly ejected from dwellings, twice he chose his own resting place. and once he was pursued by an infuriated man armed with a pitchfork. At last the long-looked-for time arrived, and our book agent boarded the train for his homeward journey. The swiftly moving train seemed barely to creep, so eager was he to reach home. In a short time he was travelling among the hills of his own state. and finally he alighted at his native town a wiser, if not richer, man. ,O7. 133 Lost:-The following letter.

Remember that theres sunshine in the valley Just the same as on the highest mountain top. Has sickness fixed its power upon your body And do you feel sometimes as though youd drop? Remember that theres sunshine in the valley The same sunshine thats on the mountain top. Has death come to your home and taien a loved one, Or has there been'a failure of the crop? Remember that the sun is shining for you In the valley, same as on the mountain top. It matters not how straight may, be our pathway, Or rough the road on which our feet have trod, VVe'll always find bright sunshine waiting for us If we in faith will upwards look to God. R. VV.
