D INTRODUCTION J .lt has been said that the Libraries olf Am-ient Egypt were to he found in its graves . instead of writing our liistortv upon papyrus to be laid away with the dead, or carving it in hieroglyphics upon the tombs: as did this marvelously learned nation ot the ancient world, we write the tales olf our limes in books, and are at pains to see that they shall be known and read ot all men. This will serve to herald our purpose and introduce this 'Fourth voluim- ot the Ando. ln assuming the responsibility lor the publication olf this volume, the Class of 1908 has not been found wanting. 'llhe induccim-nts to undertake this work were anything but lavorablc. We have lll5L'UX't'l't'lll its dc-manirls upon our time and labors. The financial aspect olf the enterprise has possibilities that would discpiiet the timid. 'l'he high standarcl. olf excellence set by our preclecessoi's tends to chasten the feeling of CUl'li-Sll.l'C1lCSS so elmracteristii- ol' ulnlergrarlnate lite, vet, facing then- considerations, we have sought to stamp the individuality ot our class in these pages, and shoiw that we have iinhihed the spirit and caught the step that hastens to the realization of the ttGreater Westminster . The bark is builded, rigged and trimrned. We launch it upon the sea to join its companions, content it it shall weather the storm as w-ell as they have done. To compile this volume we have called upon and have received splendid response from the stmlent bod-V. lt is lionce, not narrow, but representative. For this help in our eniergeney we tender our grateful thanks. Ithas been the purpose ol' the Anoo to portray the undergraduate life of West- minster College, recall to her Alumni some of the memories ol? the days gone by, and give theni an insight into what Westminster may become. In order to aceoinplish the latter we present an able article by Dr. Russell. We also desire to make thankful acknowledgement for an able article by Dr. Ferguson. One thing more requires mention-. We have seized the occasion to poke a little fun at some of the students connected with the college. This is done to enliven these pages, and not from any iinpulse of rancor. If these allusions seem to rouse the NWinter of your discontentu, let it become Glorious sunnner by the assurance of our kindly feeling and high regards. We protfer the ointment we give the thrust. With this tore-womd we comirnit the Annual of the Class of 1908 to your keeping. Deal gently with its detects, literary or otherwise, ternper your criticisms to our susceptibilities, and give to this child ot our travail and our nurture an abiding place in your affections. - ' P -THE Emmons. 9 'Board From First Synod Of the West.

This back-set, to put it a little more clearly, is the momentous loss sustained by the institution in the graduation of the time-honored class of 1907. This class has :luring four years, been a necessity .to the unity of the college and its departure will leave a vacancy indeed ditiicult to Hll. lts members are an energetic and warlike band who began their seige upon the raiiiparts of Westminster many years ago, in fact, about September, 1903. At the beginning of their career they by far outnumbered all First year classes in the history ol' the college and consequently presented a great variety of dispositions and capa- bilities. As might be expected in a class where such diversities are known to exist, instead of staying all in a bunch and working together, they soon began to stretch out in a line. It is not absolutely known whether some of them went too slowly or whether others set too fast a pace, but, however that may be, the fact remains that the class of '07 may justly be sighted as an admirable example of the survival of the Httestf' An outsider might address them thus: You were a large class long ago, But now you have grown smaller, And, rein'l'orccd by your recruits, Naught-eight has grown much taller. A Among the members of '07 we behold many of the future labor bosses and mil- lionaires of our country. They are financiers, every one of them, and the following is an illustration of their marvelous business ability. During their Sophomore year some of them conceived the idea of having some fun QFD and actually raised the money to purchase from the town council the privilege of pasting about nine hun- dred Emancipation Proclamationst' on the windows of the business houses and on the sidewalks of the village, not overlooking the windows of the college building, the 28 .f Bible Songs in the Chapel seats, and the newly l'resc-ood walls of the lliadies' llall. Space would not permit an enumeration ol' all their mischievious exploits, but this sample will sufiice to prove that the class of ,IW has certainly done its share toward preventing the College lite from becoming to any degree monotonous. However, the time and energy of the class of '07 has not been spent altogether in the pursuit of that which lasts only for the moment. In foot-ball, basket-ball, and base-ball they have always been generously represented. In their wonderful Sophomore year the entire line-up of the ,varsity live hailed from their ranks, and, while their representation on the other teams has not always been so great, they have invariably furnished a player or two and supplemented that with a goodly crowd of the noisiest kind of rooters at every intercollegiate contest. In addition to this, if you are looking for an essayist, a deelaimer, an orator, or a debater, your search will be greatly shortened if you look without further delay among the members of this class where personages of rare talent in any of these lines have come to be indeed common. New that they are drawing near the c-lose of their college course, man-y may be inclined to think that they should be glad ol the laet that their school-days at West- minster are ended. But such is not the case. Go to that fellow sitting in the front corner of the chapel, wearing a cap and gown, and ask him it it does not give him pleasure to know that he is soon to graduate. To your surprise he will answer that it does not. I-Ie thought he would be glad once. When he came to New Wilmington as a prep, and thought of the long years of work before he could claim a diploma he felt as though he could scarcely wait so long. Iflis heart used to thrill with antici- pation when eaeh year he saw the college president handing out those rolls of sheep- skin under the maple trees by the gym. Then that seemed to him the highest goal of life, but now that he has watched it several times it appears to him in a different light. He has grown to love those old maple trees, the old college halls, the science buildings, Furnace Hill, Neshannock-creek, the rail-road, and the quiet little town. The very sight of them now reminds him that he must soon depart. Something rises and falls within his breast and he strives in vain to repress it. If a comrade slaps him on the shoulder and asks him, why he looks so solemn, he immediately bursts into a laugh and replies: f'Oh, nothing, I was just thinkingf' I l ' '07 X tvs fn 4.

When we gathered together from the four points of the compass in the fall of 190-l, we Were, so our critics say, the worst collection of unsophisticated greenness that had ever sought admission into the classic halls of Westininster. Yet, in three short years this raw material, fostered in a moral and intellectual atmosphere, has developed into a legion of intelligent giants and athletic heroes. Even as Freshies, our class, whose members were so widely assembled, was broad in its sympathies and charitable in its judgments. In those early days during the strenuous process of adaptation to our niche in college life, ther-e was born that gen- uine class loyalty, which we have always cherished as one of our most precious pos- sessions. Our faculties also soon began to awaken at the quickening touch of words from the fountain of knowledge. We, who had hitherto prattled only in our mother i tongue, developed a skill by which we could speak many languages. The rhythniical Greek, the sonorous Latin, and the gutteral German fell so trippingly from our tongues that our linguistic feats have long been a source of wonder to the instructors. Our ears also became alert, and our eyes, keen to detect the most deep laid schemes of our hostile neighbors. Our knowledge bumps were at last so prominent that they could not escape the notice of the- Faculty and we attained the dignity of Sopho- mores. As a class, we had long prided ourselves on our lack of egotisni and our demo- cratic sentiments, so now, out of the kindness of our hearts and the abundance of our experience, we penned a word of advice to the Freshmen. As a final act of con- ' descension, we signed it 'f a word from your peers? That night all over New Wil- 33 uiington on each telegraph pole and every tree, posters bore' witness to our philan- thropic spirit. But, sad to relate, the minds of the Freshies had not yet developed sufficiently to appreciate this magnanimity, and they insinuated that it was put there through a lack of knowledge on our part. However, let us consider the source and pass it by. ' As Juniors, the individuality of our class became still more marked. The per- sonality of each member became more strongly felt. There is Alice Wray, our Maud Muller, and Eleanor Clark and Anna Barackman, our learned pedagogues, who are the staunchest material of 'O8. We point with pride to our two wise men from the east, John Shrader of Bethlehem and Fred Kelso of Galilee. It is known only to a few that John really came not from Bethlehem of Judea but from New Bethlehem hard by a distillery near Brocton, Our class would not be complete without Kirk Thompson, our Beau Brummel, who adorns his physiognomy with the most exquisite down, commonly called side-burns, nor must we slight our baby Nadem Henernesf, nor Emily Redmond, who never gives us anything but straight goods, nor our Southern warhlers, the Texas Kcontingentf' Indeed, P0S's brilliant lights have shown in many directions. In society, in the class-room, and in athletics she has been foremost. She always has been and always will be the hope of her allies, the dread of her foes, and the pride of Westminster. C. D., 'O8.

V 1 ir an 3 The Class of 1909 fin E On the sixth of September, 1905, the .famous class of 1909 made its first ap- pearance. We arrived in the town of New Wilmington on the fast noon mail and that afternoon made the start towards our education. Some higher classmen kindly headed us toward the chapel, where wc were greeted either with smiles of welcome or of amusement. Lessons were assigned for the first day which tool: many hours to overcome. That night was perhaps the most interesting night of the year. What a, change from singing in the prayer-meeting at home to singing and making speeches from the topmost branches of a sour-apple tree! Several of us broke world's records in running and broad jumping. Nevertheless, our only regret is that, this year, we were prohibited from holding a simila.r midnight concert. We organized at the beginning of the year with forty members, sixteen girls and twenty-four boys. What we lacked in quantity we made up in quality. This was amply proven in the class light. We easily defended our glorious flag against the terrible onslaughts of the class of 1908. Being more accustomed to pur- sue than to run from the enemy, our men took the rear position in the relay race which they held to the very last. They gave them a hot chase, however, and died ' hard. 59 About this time our class received a deadly insult from the class of 1908. Gn their posters they called us their equals. Of course we did not allow papers of this kind to defaee the beautiful scenery of N ew Wilmington. About the middle of the winter term we let up in our studies long enough to be beaten in basket-ball, but we more than redeemed ourselves in the spring. The class of 1908 went down to inglorious defeat in a base-ball game which was fast and fu rious. During the warm weather of that spring our elass proved its congeniality by having several picnics and hay-rides. Those little atlairs were enjoyed in those days. .AX chaperon was then an uncalled for appendix. A Examinations were passed with high grades and we prepared to start for home. Ponies and books were packed away and we left town with one-fourth of our edu- cation completed. On the nineteenth of September we again assembled in what we now Called the old town. This time we were the ones to grin, but who would blame us. The :least said about the Freshmen the better. How disappointed we felt when we discovered that we were not allowed to haze any of the little boys who had left home for the Hrst tinie. Think ol' the voices which will go down to the grave untrained and untried. On reorganizing we discovered that our class had been swollen by some bright additions, making a membership of about 52. Gold and Black were chosen for our colors. Many were the hardships in store for us this year. t'llien1istry alone would have stopped almost anyone, but not the Sophomore. He went and saw and tlunlzed. The Freshmen this year refused to put up a flag or to defend o-ne some kind friend had raised for them. They also det-lined to play toot-ball, saying that it was too cold and that the game was too rough. During the fall after we had lost the relay race to '10, the girls of our class cheered us up by having a party. The pleasantness of the occasion and the entire satisfaction attending it, served as a welcome burst of sunlight through the clouds of defeat. The boys planning how they would get even with the girls decided to have a sleigh ride and banquet in Mercer. This proved to be one of the most enjoyable evenings the class has had. A skating party was held shortly after this affair. Altogether our class is one of the best ever in the school. We never have civil st-rife in our meetings. The honor system was adopted before we lgnew wha.t it meant. All the new things are tried by us. Any class seeking an example to follow would do well to follow in our wake. ' A. T. P., '09. 60 R. R.

But even had the posters been original, they would have done no harmg for so great was our vigilance and industry that nobody read them but the Freshmen. CHAPTER V.

'V li k 'lv L urs .ff Q , The Preps 'E' Naturally, as well as theoretically, the Preps divide themselves into three distinct groups or stages of existence, past, present and future. The past, has been, or antediluviau collection, hardly needs comment, other than to say, we are grateful for the examples of some who in college work and post-graduate success gleam in the world as beacon-lights to encourage us in our struggle up the hill of difficulty. Others we hurriedly pass by, our eyes copiously filled with tears, thinking of what they might have been and the things they might not have done. Much might be said of their failures 5 but, as the saying goes, 'fliet the dead past bury its deadf' Of the present specimen little is really known, but if looks count for anything, these milk-fed youths, with angelic countenances, who are seen perambulating the streets during study hours, must needs come out all right in their ardent search for higher education. Of course some of them make mistakes, but you can scarcely blame them, since they have such illustrious examples in upper classinen, who a.fter long hours of cramming and nights devoid of ease, tlunk New Testament Greek, even though some of them have already consecrated their lives to the ministry. But instead of watching the Seniors bemoaning the fact that not passedv has been writ- ten across their feeble attempts at examination excellence, and instead of listening to the Juniors spouting in clusters, yards of undigested stuff of which they know nothing save the words, let the Prep of today exert his own mind, having as his only staff and companion the nbig stickt' of the Athletic Committee of the Faculty. As we glance into the dim horizon of the future, and vaguely conjecture what would be for the best interests of the future Prep, who forsakes bottle and nurse and comes to our knowledge-beaten shore, we would humbly offer the College board a few simple, yet concise, suggestions. First, keep the Preps of the future in a dor- mitory where their young minds will not be contaminated by the association of upper classinen , and second, provide a distinct and separate mill of learning in which each will strive with untiring vigor and panting aspiration for the honorable and illus- trious position of president of the Honor Council. V R. M. R. J r. 65 I Art in The Art Department at Westminster College has made great advancement dur- ing the past year and is rapidly becoming an important factor in our college life. Like all other parts ol our College, the Art Studio has been completely renovated and is now a popular Mecca for all students of artistic temperament. With its green and white furnishings and its artistic arrangement, it is a place of beauty and rest. In the drawing-room also a change has taken place and an entirely new equipment has been established there, making the work much more easy and pleasant both for instructor and pupils. One great incentive to the pursuit of the study of Art was offered this year when the Faculty wisely decided to make Art an elective. This gives the students who are taking a regular college course the opportunity of developing along aesthetic lines as well as along lines of science or literature. Considering all these improvements it is not to be wondered- that during the past semester the number ot students in the Art Departinent has been doubled. Such an increase and even more is expected next year ivhen the student body comes into the realization of the great advantage that is here offered to them. A new project for the Art Department is being considered and will probably be carried out this year. Miss Hodgens, the Art Instructor, desires that the Art stu- dents be granted a leave of absence in order to spend a day with her at the Annual Art Exhibit held in the Carnegie Library, Pittsburg. In this way the students would become personally acquainted with the great Works of famous artists and would receive a great incentive and inspiration for their work. There is no doubt that this is a grand idea and well deserving the time that will be given to it. Exhibits of the Work done by the students during the year are held each Com- mencement in the Art studio. All of these displays are artistically arranged and the work is of superior 'quality and fully merits the interest which it arouses. Until this time no student has ever graduated in Art, but now full courses have been added to the College curriculum and three have already entered for the full course. The class of '08 has the honor ot numbering in its ranks the first graduate from the Art Department. 67 The Elocufion Department fi' 'To have or not to have fan eloeution teacherj has been a perplexing question in the minds of the patrons of this department. Although no one has been secured, we have many reasons to believe that strong efforts were made to have the position filled. It was not unconnnon to hear our English instructor announce that a choice had been made, or that seine one had accepted the call 5 nor was it uncommon, a few days later, to hear him announce that the alarm was false. For, on several occasions, we were delighted to learn that some young lady was going to show us how to say our Junior orations, and prepare us for future work along the line of speech-making. But how our countenances fell when we learned that the lady had been here, looked a.round, and taken her departure? Whether she was dissatisied or non-satisfactory, we have never been able to ascertain. Our knowledge is limited to the fact that one of the subjects was a 'fcute little thing, and possessed of meek disposition. For this information, we are indebted to Professor Hewetson, who never tired of speak- ing of the subject,-'fThe Advance and Retreat of Elocution Teachers. To say the least the idea of training before some other member or members of the faculty was disheartening to a class who aspired to such honors as the Juniors of '08, but sweet are the uses of adversity. Great as has been our disappointment, for the benefit of the present Sophomore class, we suggest that a greater effort be put forth to secure a teacher for them. Be- cause we realize the inability of that class to surmount the great obstacles with which we have so successfully battled. As proof of this fact, we refer you to the present Sen- ior class, who, when Sophomores, gave no more promise of success than the present Sophomores, but through the perseverance and patience of an eloeution teacher, were enabled to present at respectable appearance, and to stand on a level with preceding classes along that line. Thus you see the importance of this department. from the standpoint of a Junior, and forgetting the past, laying aside the present and thinking only of the future, may we not predict. great things for the student of Westminster, foremost among which will be a strong eloeution department, a finished product of which will reach, if not surpass, the heights attained by the most eminent orators of the day, and will be a credit as well as an honor to the name of GREATER: WEST- MINSTERFJ BY A JUNron. 68 Mu m 'ff ' 12 Q. x , J m, b ,,i.i 4 ' IN C9 F , ' , ... ,giL, , . l .fi 1 j f W WV '5 'y f ' ,,f ' umugnwaeamv I fx The Music Department 'E' Music has at last come to its own in lYcstminster. Hcrctoforc it has been some- what detached from the regular College work, but in the future it will be included in the list of electives and will count towards a degree. The music departr-cnt has been completely reorganized, and is being rapidly built up to the point of highest etliciency. The new director, Professor William Wilson Campbell, was chosen largely be- cause of his success in building up the music departments of two other schools. At Baird College. for Young Women in Missouri, the number of inusic students in- creased under his direction-from JO to 90, and at Trinity College Texas from lst to 144-. Such success is rare and is due not only to his mastery of music and his energy and foresight as a director, but to an attractive personality, which is the chief asset of a teacher of art. Professor Campbell is fortunate in having for his chief assistant, Miss Nona Yantis, who was with him in Trinity College. A graduate of Patton Seminary, the music department of which is one of the strongest in the South, and a student for several years under Von Graber, of Leipsig, and Schmidt and Rafael Josetfy, of New York, Miss Yantis is exceptionally well prepared for her work. She shares with her principal the reputation of an indefatigable and enthusiastic worker, as well as a successful teacher. With the advent of Director Campbell came an entirely new equipment. ln instruments the department boasts the finest provisions in the country. There are fourteen upright pianos for use in practice, and three Steinway Concert Grand pianos, upon which all lessons are given. So rapidly has the number of music students increased that it has been neces- sary to purchase two additional buildings for their immediate use. These buildings occupy a convenient location at the corner ot the college campus, and have been ren- dered as suitable to their new use as circumstances would permit. The result of all these improvements as well as the devotion to art upon the part of thec teachers, has been the creation of greater interest in music than has heretofore ever existed. The number of music students is greater than ever before in the his- tory of the college. Not a few students in the regular college courses have elected music, and the number promises to be much larger next year. The entertainments given ,by the departinaent, including a violin concert by Mr. Sol Marcosin, and a song recital by Donna Louise Riblette of New York, have been largely attended, and the recitals by the faculty and students of the department have also drawn an unusual attendance. 71 The outlook for music at Westminster is, indeed, inost encouraging. The new director has Cfinade goodv in every respect. The quartet that was with him in Trinity, is with him here and under the name of The Westminster Trouhadours, -has won enviable laurels in concerts in all the principal cities of this section. It is the purpose of the director to organize several other musical associations in the near future, including a glee club, and a large choral society, which will give a three days' music festival each May. Although it may require another year to reach this degree of development, and fully to realize the large hopes of the department, lovers of music looli f0l'Wi11'Cl to the time when Wcstmiiister shall be recognized far and wide as a musical center. ,-JZJ? , , A Vw , 4 QM N lf! , INN X Ez ,x hal' J G 3 N XE 4:7 lljl 1, .-,-o' ,I 1 ul, C gi . , ' 1 W Nfqazzx 72 , FULTQN. m Q 2 - +4 rfq GLEE CLUB LADIES, GLEE CLUB fl 1 . fr if If I 1 1 -f' K' ' , , X f ,I ,' Q 1 wgf f ,yx ., x 5-K 'ffl ,fi V, - , -xx H L 'V' W -'ff Ai ff V Af Xiu-5 Yi?

A. in Ever since the days of its organization, the Young Woments Christian Associa- tion of Westminster College has occupied a prominent place in the college world. During seine years it has been stronger than others in point of membership but it is always the sure index of the religious spirit among the girls. In measure as there are those who are willing to give up both study and social pleasures on one evening of the week in order to develop more fully the religious side- of their natures and to enjoy the fellowship which comes from meeting with helpful companions, is the Christian Association strong. The Tuesday evening meetings where the girls can get together to think and talk on subjects of life importance are a source of de- light and strength to all the girls who attend. Early in the year there was brought to the Association some idea of the work as it is being carried on in other parts of our country and among other schools, when the three girls who represented Westminster at the Winona Conference gave their re- ports. These delegates were Misses Eleanor Clark, Della Grounds and Alice Phillips and the reports which they gave were full of help and inspiration. The Association sent Miss Emily Matthews as a delegate to the State Convention at Altoona on February 28th to March 3d. By sending these representatives to the places where Association workers from all over the land meet, we keep in touch with the wide field of Association work and bring home the thoughts of many eminent nien and women. The Association has recently been favored with a visit from our new State Secretary, Miss Cora F. Dyer, and from her has received inspiration and greater .zeal tor the work. The local field is divided into several different departments of which one of the most important is that oil? Bible Study. Great progress has been made in this 'department in the last year or two. There are two strong classes which meet once each week, the one under Miss Frances lliiifl' and the other under Professor Hew- etson. The Mission Study department has also been strong this year. Five classes under faithful leaders have been studying various text-books and have been deriving 'great benefit from the work. Th Young Womenis Christian Association is no longer a movement in its in- fancy but it has grown until its influence is felt around the world. It aiects the lives of women in all countries and moulds character in all climates. Truly this is a great work and deserves the lrearty support of every ca.rnest student. Mc. '07, 76 The Y. M. C. A. fm There is a story t.old by our genial presidciit. Dr. l-lussell, of a darky preacliei' wlzo, after an hour's desultory and rambling preacliing. was about to launch i11to the main body of l1is sermon with tl1e remark, .fXnd now, brethren, a wide Iield opens before inef' when he was greeted by the reverent. prayer of o11e of his deacons, 0h I Lord. p11t 11p de bars and keep him out ot dat field. So in writing of the Y. M. C. A. we 'feel that indeed a vast field opens before 11s but the editor's limit of iliour hundred words has Nput 11p de bars ' O11 11s. The Y. M. C. A. is the center of the Christian activity in our College. Its pur- pose is a double one. First, its members strive to l1elp o11e another, and second, they' strive to help those outside the association and especially those outside of the king- dom of our Master. The Tuesday evening prayer meetings are held with a View to the furthering of both of the ?llJOYG-1'1lQl1tlO11Qtl purposes. ' Never in the lite of the association has the outlook of the Y. M. C. A. been brighter tl1an it is today. The interest shown by the large attendance on the weekly meetings is most. gratityiiig to those interested. The financial standing of the association is all that could be desired. With all bills paid and money still due, the treasurer reports a snug sum in the bank. Yet with all the encouraging prospects there is still much to combat. Our little college world thrills with kindly syinpatlir and good-fellowship when o11e of o11r number is in any kind of need. Yet when there is no need and each fellow is able to care for himself we are sometimes prone to forget the bond of brotherhood that unites us, and so go our separate wars with a little too great a spirit of independence and aloofness. We believe that it is Godis plan to work through the Y. M. C. A. and by its means to instil the sense ot brotherhood so deeply into our hearts that we cannot forget. Tl1e Bible and Mission study classes, run branches of the Y. M. C. A. work, are each year taking a deeper hold on the minds and hearts of the men and women. In closing we ask you, kind reader, that in your prayers for our dear old Alma Mater you will 11ot forget this most important of all her auxiliary departments. And as Westminster advances in all lines may her child, the college Y. M. Q. A., keep pace and be ever strong in leading men out into tl1c light Elllfl peace of the King- dom. R. F. G.. 707. 77 Mission Study fl' The mission study campaign organized in our United Presbyterian Church has greatly increased the interest of the young people in mission work and greatly broadened their general intelligence along missionary lines. Westminster students have not lagged behind the rest of the Church in this most important branch of work. They have always manifested an interest in missionary work and made it a matter of systematic study. Our mission study work is under the care of the Associations and arranged for with much thought and prayer. This year we ha.ve tive classes which were organized early in September. The books studied are as follows: The Healing of the Nations, a. treatise on medical missions 5 Daybreak in the Dark Continent by Naylor, The Call of the Home Landit by A. L. Phillips and 44The Christian Cou- quest of India. by Jas. M. Thoburn. All the book-s are very interesting and are studied with much profit as well as enjoyment. The attendance upon these classes is encouraging, although it might, of course, be much larger. All who have entered upon the work have, with a few exceptions, proved faithful in attendance and the classes have consequently been a source of much personal benefit and have created, we hope, a vital, intelligent, per- manent interest in missions. Who can tell the far-reaching influence that these classes may yet have upon our students? Not only does mission study arouse an intelligent appreciation of the needs and requirements of giving the gospel to the eight hundred million heathen but it also stimulates to action, prayer and even to surrender of self to Him, Whose ive are and Whom we serve. The work, it is true, takes time and some effort, but does not the mental training and development here acquired more than pay for any sacrifice made on our part? Mission study work because of its social, intellectual and spiritual stimulus should be to our students as important a course as any prescribed in the college curriculum. We therefore urge upon our students for their own good, a deeper interest in and a greater Willingness for this branch of college training, for as Martin Luther says, A Christian man is the most free lord of all and is subject to none ,Q a Christain man is the most dutiful servant of all and subject to every one? 'O8. 78 f l Bible Study Q' There is one study in the curriculuin that is ditterent from the others in many respects. It is conducted by the students, and attendance upon it is not com- pulsory, yet it is a branch ifrorn which all, who engage in it, receive an amount of good equal to that received from any other study. We refer to the study of the Bible in classes conducted by the Y. M. C. A. There are six of these classes this year, and the studies taken up are as follows: Freshman Course- Studies in the Lite of C'lrrist ....... . . .By H. B. Sharinan Sophomore Course-'fStudies in the Acts and Epistles ........ By B. QI. Bosworth Junior Course- Studies in the Old Testanient Characters ..... By W. W. White Senior Course- Studies in the Teachings ot Jesus and His Apostles ............ . .......................... By li. I. Bosworth Third Preparatory Course-tiLeaders of Israel ............ By Geo. L. Robinson First and Second Preparatory Course-ftStudies of the Lite and Works of Jesus in St. Marki' ................... ,By W. D. Murray Our Bible Study, as conducted at Westminster, greatly strengthens character and enlarges the Christian life. Live young nien, after a week's systematic study of the Bible coine together and freely exchange views and bring up questions that have been suggested by the study. Here, as nowhere else, does the lite and char- acter ot a. student show itself. His inner thoughts are brought to the surface, and often, in this classroom, does he answer the question, What think ye of Christ PM The importance of Bible study is being realized more and more, and the work done along this line in college will be of great help to a inan when he is ready to encounter the hard knocks of the world. He will not only be equipped in a. line ot work that is demanded in a cultured person, but he has, if he has studied aright, a conscience well developed and intelligent, and a mind stored with divine knowledge. Thus we have at Westniinster an institution, entirely under student control, that is helping men to prepare for their lite work and that is helping the College to turn out into the world cultured men. The best men who have graduated from this place have been students of the Bible. The one regret of these men has been that they did not give more time to this important work. Let us then profit by the experience of those who have gone betorc us, and give to our Bible Study the proportion ot time and energy that its importance demands. ' J. C.

Fuller Stewart-Artist. so l THE ARGO STAFF The Holcad 'ic c The H olcad, Westuiinsteifs student journal, was first issued June 1884. Wishing to keep in line with other schools, and feeling the need of a college paper, faculty and students united, and the election of a staff resulted. Under the efficient ,management of the first editors, the pioneer journal, then published semi-monthly, succeeded and soon became fixed upon a firm basis. It continued a semi-monthly until September, 1887, when the editors decided it best to publish it monthly, and so it has continued until the present time. Compared with one of the first num- bers, the present Holcad shows a marked enlargement in accord with our later advantages and the increased force of statf officer-s. But it is largely through the pioneer editors, by whose efforts the paper became realized and by whose examples later editors have been able to profit, that the present Holcad became possible. The Holcad is published with a three-fold purpose: First, to afford a means of communication between the undergraduates and the alumni, between West- minster and the general college world, second, to furnish to the students special opportunity for literary training, third, to act as a medium between the faculty and the student body. The Holcad a.ims at nothing less than the advancement of the best interests ot the school-the stimulating of student effort. and the har- monizing of the student element, that most important factor of college life, with the alumni and faculty into one body of interested workers. The college paper should wield no little influence in college life. Possessed of privileges like to those of the press-liberty to report, to commend, to reprove, to argue, to suggest, the Holcad should exercise some of a like influence of the college sentiment. lt occupies therefore a responsible and accordingly a delicate position. As a purely student organ, representative of all the best ideals of general college life it must be diplomatic, broad, and absolutely non-partisan. Only thus can it wield that reforming influence due from it. In accordance with the already active evolution of 'fGreater Westniinsterv, there must be a. like evolution of a Greater I-lolcadu. And such is the purpose of the staff. During the past few months we have sought to expand the old depart- ments and to introduce new features. As yet we are only in a state of transition, but it is hoped that from the present embryo, there may grow a Holcad, worthy of comparison with any student paper in the country. E.

These words were spoken inany centuries ago and yet how true they are today when we apply theni to the events of Connnenceinent week. The wisdom of the program connnittee is displayed in the arranging for the closing scene of the colleoe year to be the Inter-Society Contest between the Philoniath and Adelphie Liter ary Societiesv. This event is one ot fervency and action. ln truth there is no date in the whole calender of Old Weistininster which so attracts the attention ot all the adniirers of the College. Not only the contestants and students, but also the alumni and a great host ot friends look forward with the greatest anticipation and enthu siasin to this closing a.ct in the College Drama. Four contestants are chosen from the Philoniath and a. like nurnber from the Adelphic Societies: Declairner, Essayist, Orator and Debater. lt is esteeined one of the greatest honors the society can bestow to be chosen one ot her contestants The contestants are chosen early in the fall terin and labor hard during the whole year that they niay deyelop theinselyes and be well equipped and prepared to enter the contest and win greater honor for their grand old society. These contests have created a rivalry between the societies and at the beginnino of the new term the nienibers ot each society strive to select from the new students those ot ability and talent and urge thorn to join their society. In this way and through the regular meetings, held Monday night ot each week, they are trained, like the athlete or skilful archer, by continual practice, for the contest. The last two contests haye been very exciting as the contestants troan the two societies proved an even niatch and the result was that the contests culminated in a tie. But in the tuture contests this will not be possible as the societies during the present year have adopted a new system of counting. 94 There nialy he sonic, who are not in touch with the college and society work, who may ask the purpose of these contests and wonder why such interest is mani- fested, and so it is proper that we should give some of the results of these contests. lst. A greater interest is taken in society work. The niefn work with a greater zeal and try to niake their society the better one. Qnd. The Preparatory inefn see the advantage and training in the society work and so join the society and fall into line in the work early in their prep-aratory course, although ineinbership is not compulsory until the Freshnian year. 3rd, The enthusiasm which is aroused in society work does not stop there, but is carried into the class rooin and the athletic field, and so these contests are the means of increasing the interest of all and are a. stimulus to the whole college work. Llth. They draw the Alumni back to the old college as a Fisherman draws in his ladenecl net and no matter in what vocation of life an Alumnus may be, he keeps a watchful eye on the events of his old Alina Mater and even- feels a thrill ot joy as he hears ot' his heloved society being crowned the victor.

QAMPLELL Joseph Roy Mercer, ljlllllllllkltll essayist, was born in Winchester, Kansas. After wandering about the country for several years his parents finally settled in New Wilmington. Mr. Mercer graduated from New XVillllillgiQOl1 High School in 1903 and entered Westminster as a Thircl Prep. His ability as a student has always been recognized in both class and literary work. On account of ill health he had to give up College for a year, but will graduate with the class of l90S. JOSEPH ROY MERCER Robert James Dobbs, Philonnath declailner, has always been a good and loyal citizen of New Wil- mington. After graduating from New Xvilllliflg- ton High School he entered the Third Prep. Class at Westniinster College. 'Robert has always taken special interest in society work, his specialty being declaiming. For this reason he was elected to his present position. Mr. Dobbs is a loyal member of Philo and always takes an active part in the meetings. 97 ROBERT JAMES DOBBS Adelphia Contestants ARTHUR W. HENDERSON in Arthur W. Henderson, Adelphic debater, is a graduate of the Erie High School. He entered the Sophomore Class in '03 but was out of school in the year of ,04-'05.

At the present time he is the local editor of the Holead. He has been president of both Athletic and Tennis Asso- ciations, but his active work in literary contests has gained for hiin the office of vice-president of the Tri-State Oratorical Association. J. Willard Acheson, Adelphic orator, was born in Oregon. He tool: two years of preparatory work at Monmouth College after which he re- moved with his family to New Castle, which has since been his lzoine. Ever since becoming a nieni- ber of the class of '07 he has been a faithful and energetic V worker in the literary held. Mr. Achesoifs ability was recognized soon after his initiation into the Adelphia Literary Society and he was chosen as their .declnilner for the inter- societyycontest in his Sophonzore year. He has held' 2L'1llf1CKg on the Holead staff for three years as editor of 'The College Worldv.

KUHN, IR Genefva- Westminster Debate fb f:Short but sweet , is the history of the Geneva-Westniinster debate from the standpoint of those who glory in the triumphs of the Blue and the White. Gnly four debates have taken place, and of these, Westminster has lost but one-the first. This iirst debate was held at Beaver Falls, March 5, 1903, with H. C. Hildebrand, 703, and H. Bailey, 303, as our representatives, in 1904, L. G. Bennett, P05, and W. C. Press, 304, were -our conquering color-bearers 5 and in 1905, J. Frank Shrader, '07, and Win. J. liverhart, 'org had the saine distinction. On the approach of the fourth annual debate, accelerated interest was manifest, due perhaps to the tact that the winning of this debate by Geneva would have again tied the score. The question was: f'Resolved, That the Interstate Com- merce Connnission should have power to regulate rates in interstate cominerce'J. A. W. Henderson 'ot the class of 1907 and W. V. Irons ot the class of 1905, who had been solicited to guard 'the interests of W-estniinster on this occasion, were on the opposition. The capable presentation ot the subject by G-eneva's men, Bole and McGeary, compelled the admiration of all present, yet the sound loigic and splendid efforts of Henderson and Irons won the day. The debate this year will be held at Beaver Falls in March. The debaters for Westminster will be R. C. Blclielvey of New W ilinington and W. W. Cleland ot Geradatim, Pa. Mr. Mclielvey is a nreinber of the Senior class and has been trained in the school of the Philoiina-ths. Mr. Cleland is. President of the Sopho- more cla.ss a.nd a member of the Adelphic Literary Society. Both have been active workers in the society of their choice and are altogether worthy of the honor which their election to participate in this contest carries with it. The question selected by Geneva is: Mllesolved, That the United States should retain the Philippine lf: Our representatives will uphold the athriniative. I While we delight in 'fsinging the praises of Westminster , we would not wish to gixe a wrong impression concerning the cha.racter of the work done by those who were her adversaries in these battles. With more credit to ourselves be it said that the work ot our every opponent has retlected honor on his Alina Mater. The Genleva-Westminster debate is still in its infancy, yet we trust it has found a permanent home, and that interest in it will widen and deepen until, instead of our annual intercollegiate debate, we shall have a debating league including the leading colleges within a reasonable radius. And may thi-s interest still further increase until we may see tiling from the connmencement portals of these colleges a continuous procession of Websters and Lincolns, until no one will dare to say that debating is, or should be, a lost art. E. E. A., '0'7. 100 I Uraiorical Association in The llvl.'4l'llll11'StUl' Uratorieal -Xs-sociation is the controlling body in all our intereollegiate literary undertaliings. It was priniarily formed to take charge of the preliiuinary contest which deeides who shall be WlJQSt1'l1lHStGT:S representative in the annual Tri-State Oratorieal contest, but harsh since assumed charge of the Geneva debate. The lnter-Collegiate Oraliorical Association of Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, which annually holds the Tri-State contest was formed in 1895, and includefd Alleglin-nv, Bethany, Geneva, Thiel, Wa,x'nesburg, Western University ot Pennsylvania, West Virginia Uiiiversity and Westminster. The circuit has been soinewliat changed since that time as after competing twice, W. U. P. dropped out, and in 1900, West Virginia University withdrew, Muskingum being admitted. Thiel has not been represented at the last three contests on account of internal troubles but still holds her membership. In this as in all other inter-collegiate un-dertaliings, Westminster is at the head, our representatives having taken four first medals and second place three times. West Virginia University has won three times, Allegheny three times and Geneva twice. Those who have taken iirst place are: H. B. I-Iezlip, 1395, H. B. Miller, 1899 3 H. T. Getty, 1903, and F. J. Warnock, 1904. Second place was awarded to W. E. Brooks, 1900, W. B. McCrorr, 1901, and J. A. Stranahan, 1905. The Tri-Staten is held the second Tuesday in May each year. This year it is to be held by Geneva College, at Beaver Falls, Pa., on May 14th. ' The Prelim', is held the third Tuesday in April each year in the college chapel. At this time there are six contestants, three from -each literary society, from whom one is chosen who shall compete in the '4Tri-Staten. The contestants for this year are: Philoniath, J. CL Smith, '07, S. B. Mitchell, 209, W. M. Donaldson, 309, Adelphic, J. C. Heinrich, '09, E. E. Ander- son, '07, and S. K. Cunningham, :07. The odicers of the local association are J. G. McKay, President, J. CX Bell, Yiec President, and G. A. Lewis, Secretary and Treasurer. 102 unior Contest 'E' A custom that ll21S long been obsc1'x'ed at lYf.'SllIllllSlCl' College is the dcli1'e1'y of orations each year by the Junior Class. The ability to speak in public was early recognized by the founders of this institution, and COl1SCLj1lCl'ltly this custom was established while the College was still in its infancy and made a part of the required college curriculum. After each member of the class has given his pe1':to11'111a11ce, eight members are selected by the faculty to contest for two gold medals offered by the College. Three judges, not in any way connected with the College are selected to decide the contest which is held during Commencenient week. Last Commencement the first medal was awarded to Mr. S. K. Cunningham, and the second medal to Mr. Ralph C. Mclielvey, both members ot the present Senior Class. Somewhat of a. departure from the way in which the contest has been formerly con-ducted will be taken this year. It is maintained by some that the ladies ought not to be required to compete in oratory with the men, and so hereafter the con- testants will be divided into two classes: The young ladies will give essays, and the young men orations, and a prize will be awarded the winner in each class. The entire Junior Class acquitted themselves nobly this year, all the orations being of a high order. From the forty or more Junior orators and essayists the following have been selected this year: Miss Mabel Henderson, Miss Ada Park, Miss Minnie McMaster, Miss Alice Wray, Fred C. Houston, Z. R. Scott, J. Clarke Bell, and Homer Donald. The ability and scholarship of all out whom insures one of the best Junior contests ever held. - 103 Tetralecfic Club fr Among other organizations of the college, We must not forget our 'lletralectic Club, a comparatively recent but by no mean-s insigniioant society. In fact this club is eonsiderred by all and especially by its nielnbers the meeting of the aristo- -crats, for it consists of only twenty members, five chosen from each out the tour literary societies. Consequently it is very evident that the llower of the entire college literary department represented and sealed in this one small body QPQ. Unfortunately or fortunately as the case may be the members are usually' chosen from the tivo upper classes, so that the literary efforts of our two younger brothers are not manifested in this famous club. The meetings are held every two weeks on Saturday evenings and are character- ized bv good literary and musical programs, gzeneral congenial fellowship, and innocent fun. The chief purpose of the club is literary advancement, but atter a deep discussion on some intricate problem of the day or some author and his works a relaxation in the form of strenuous games is highly appreciated. Then it is that our Seniors and Juniors forget their dignity and indulge in the long forgotten, liar-off games of childhood such as Going to Jerusaleinv, tiStill Waterw, icliondon Bridge is Falling Down'7, and ffCharades . Even our chance visitors from the faculty enter into this past-iine with a hearty good-will and appreciation. Children generally grow hungry after an hourfs play and strange to say so do the members ot this club. Then refreshments are always served, unless perchance so-me kind outsiders have volunteered their servieezs in a painful material manner, and the inenibers ot the club decide that they do not care for catings that evening. Especially deliglttul are the evenin-gs when new mernbers are initiated into the secrets of the club. The poor frightened applicants while performing their various stunts are a source of ainuseinent to the audience. New members are generally chosen in the spring and initiated the 'following fall.

Foot-ball enthusiasts, after the very successful season of 190-5, were wont to predict many defeats for the following year. They argued that the team was light and the majority of the players inexperienced. What chance would Westminster have for holding W. U. P. down to a low score in the coming contest with only a week in which to learn the new rules? But one day there appeared. in town a six foot giant commonly known the coach, McMahon, a Harvard law student, and for four years a noted tackle on Tuftis college foot-ball team, surveyed his gridiron pupils. For a week he instilled into them the new rules, and on September 29th, W. U. P. was met at Exposition Park, Pittsburg. Wingardjs pupils had had three weeks of hard practice. They lo-oked very large to our fighters. But after the game, a look at the bulletin board showed that our rivals had been held down to seventeen points. lt was clearly shown that our old 'Varsity men still retained plenty of Westminster spirit 5 that we had several promising new players, and that Dickey, the big Texan, was one of them. Smith was surely ai H110 center, and Clements looked good as a guard. I Another week of hard practice, during which time the players became imbued with the enthusiasm and determination of the captain and coach, passed, and many new plays, including the forward pass, added strength to the team. The second game scheduled was with Western Reserve at Cleveland, on October Gth. In a drenching rain, the opposing teams lined up on the muddy field before a mere handful of spectators. At the end of the irst half the score stood 6 to O in favor of Western Reserve. Appearances indicated that another defeat would soon be chalked up against our team. But the tables were turned in the second ha.lf. A spectator might well have thought that a different team was fighting with Reserve. Every man buckled down and did his best toward winning glory and honor for his college. The work of Mcliay at quarterback, Calhoun at fullback, and Mark's sixty yard run for a touchdown were interesting features of the game. Westminster 12, Western Reserve 6, was the final result, an-d this was partly due to the lecture which the coach delivered to the team between halves. The practice of speech-making remained with the coach during the entire season. October 13th, and ideal foot-ball day, saw us in Washington lined up against Pi.erka,rskiJs warriors. Every Westminster man is to be commended for the way he played the game. W. 8 J. was held down to fourteen points. This was our second and last defeat of the season. 116 The Alumni wanted to come to New Wilmington and show us how to play foot-ball. Consequently on October 720th they came, but, notwithstanding their Hebrew signals, stiff joints and black and blue' spots were all they received at our hands, while thirty-three more points were added to our credit. ' On November 3rd, the Allegheny College team, led by a hundred rooters and a student band arrived in town. Our team had been considerably weakened by the loss of some of its best players, but after a hard contest in which an abundance of Westminster grit and perseverance was displayed, twenty-four more points were added to our list. Allegheny failed to score. '1 lre game with Mt. Union College at New Castle on November 17th proved to- be a cinch. In an uninteresting game for the most part, fifty-six points were scored against them. On November 21th we journeyed to Meadvillc to meet the Allegheny Colle- gians. At the beginning of the game things looked doubtful, but speed and strength combined meant defeat to Allegheny, score 17 to 0. A. feature of the contest was the forward pass, which was worked to perfection on our part. Scott and Reno could certainly take in the forward passes ini a remarkable manner, and Hanlzey, Park, and Pat knew something about foot-ball. Marks starred throughout the game. Grove City College, enc'ouraged by the scores against their opponents and believing tha.t our team was light and strictly amateur, consented at the last moment to play us at New Castle on Than-ksgiving Day. On that day a large crowd of spectators assembled, for everyone knows that a Westminster-Grove City game i-s a rare treat. This yearns records showed that the strength of the two teams was about equal. Space does not permit a descripti-on of the contest. It is sufficient to say that Grove City wa.s defeated, 9 to Ll, a. very appropriate way to end a foot-ball season in which, out of eight games played, only two were defeats for Old Westminster.

MARKS f College Spirit at Westminster 'Q By C1-ms. E. M:ChTAIION, Coach. It is a difficult task to treat any subject as hazy and indetinable as College Spirit. Not that we doubt for a. moment of its existence-for those of us who have been thru college are sure that there is such a thing. Since the hrst days of our Freshman year, we have heard this magic expression and ever since have been more or less' under its spell. But when we come to define and analyze the thing itself, it is is elusive and intangible as the rainbow. The philosopher may plunge into the mazes of metaphysics and emerge finally with the elements of College Spirit, distinct and defined, but the most of us, who have had the opportunity to feel its influence, are satislied to believe in its existence without definition or proof. We know that since we first came under her iniiuence we have been inspired with a devotion for our Alma. Mater, whether she be the great mid-land university or the struggling frontier college. Though we have been enrolled as Alumni for man-y years, we still rejoice at her successes, or mourn her misfortunes. This feeling, for the want of a better name, we are content to regard as College Spirit. It varies in different institutions and is affected by many circumstances. It is by no means true that in the largest or oldest college the best spirit is always found. An educational institution situated in a large city and composed as such frequently are, of many separate departments, seldom is blessed with a very strong spirit. Although the attendance may be in the thousands, in such a locality, students do not become acquainted, or realize that they have anything in common, traditions are not developed and what little interest they have for their Alma Mater-ends when the degrees are conferred. On the other hand, in a small college, isolated from the world, .and sometimes struggling for an existence, with a handful of students, a spirit may be developed which will eventually bring glory to the insti- tution and success to all its undertakings. In its location Westminster is fortunate in' this respect. Other colleges may boast of more imposing buildings, and more magnificent grounds, but the West- minster student may po-int with pride to the hills about him, and the valleys stretching in the distance, and like Cornelia, pointing to her sons, exclaim, These are my jewels . ' Such surroundings surely ought to foster College Spirit. Every college undertaking, whether it be athletic teams, debating teams, literary club or publica- tion, ought to have the moral, physical, and financial aid of the entire student body. There are no other influences to detract from it in such a place, and the students, for lack of other diversion, if for no better reason, should naturally rally to its support. . 119 Thus the seeds of College Spirit are sown and when the soil is fertile it' will tlourish of its own accord with the occasional aid of such artiiicial cultivation as a 'fmass meetingv or a. big inter-collegiate contest of some kind. ' The foot-ball team is perhaps the greatest source of College Spirit. among the average under-graduates. But it should be remembered that in this respect, foot- ball. is merely a means toward an end, and not the end itself. 'The enthusiasm which the student body displays towards its college team is merely a reflection of its attitude towards college activities in general, and whore such enthusiasm is at low ebb, it is certain that such a college is making little impression on the outside world. From observations at Westminster, though confined to the short period of a foot-ball seas-on, I feel sure in assuming that College Spirit is firmly implanted there. While of more or less intermittent character, during the past fall, it was never extinct, and never once failed to respond XVHCD. a crisis called for its aid In several hard fought contests it was the chief asset of the team and the most difhcult thing for opponents to overcome. 4'The Old Guard dies, but never surrenders , was the cry of a body of French infantry, and their valiant deeds against overwhelming odds is a matter of history. So in college contests, the side which is apparently outclassed, may emerge trium- phant because of this same do or diet' spirit which the college breeds and fosters. No college is too small or poor in material things to develop a strong spirit. Westminster labors under many difficulties, but in loca.tio-n and tradition, has an advantage peculiar to herself, a foundation on which to construct a. college spirit second to none. It is a slow process. Yale has been over two hundred years building up the famous 'gYa.le spiritn which is now a by-word in the college world, and which, year after year, ranlrs the undertakings of that college at the head. Westminster is comparatively young, but already knows the meaning of College Srpiritg it surely exists there, and conditions are good to develop it. With each succeeding year the Westminster spirit should grow stronger and more spon- taneous, a source of pride to all Westminster men and a worthy example for the world at large. - 120 I ' ' - A Dx A , A - , 4 , ps:-r-4 naar' -' - A Varsity Foot Ball Team QR'Oading from left to rightj BROWN, Mgr., ARMSTRONG, DIOR, RENO, DOOYLE, X7ANCE, COLE, CLEMENTS, RTARKS CCapt.j, MOMAHON QCoachJ .

GROVE CITY GAME h 5 9 ff QQSKETG IMEL Basket-Ball . fav The basket-ball season opened this year with chances for an unsually successful season, and in the games that were played the team justified the expectation of all. The Hrst game scheduled was with the Alumni. This game was attended with extraordinary inteiiest, especially by some of the young ladies. The home team captured the scalps of the Alumni, and when they left it seemed that another part of their anatomy had been left. Next on the schedullen was the Buhl Club. Venerunt, Viderunt, Vicimusg fifty-one for us, eight for them. The New Castle team came up to teach us some new stunts in the game, but on account of a break-down the team was delayed and the game postponed till the next afternoon. The New Castle boys started in with their new stunts, but they soon decided that the old tricks of the game could still be used and when the game ended the score stood forty-four to seventeen in our favor. The next game was the only one in which the: home team was outplayed, and when Tamaqua won, thirty-two to seventeen, they felt that they had evened up for their defeat of last year. My eyes fill with tears when I co-me to this part of the team's history, for in stalks a conspiracy, the only one in the whole history it is true, but alas, it is a conspiracy of the most malignant nature, a conspiracy of silence. The tea.m started on a trip to W. U. P., Apollo and W. V. U., taking with them all the first team players a.nd subs. At Pulaski the faculty in the form of a. telegram from A. D. Sowack, appea.red and placed a ban on one of the players. Now this was the first time Sowack had been met, and as he did not seem to have the proper creden- tials his a.uthority was not recognized and all the men' played. The three games on the trip were won, and the team returned to town, expecting to be met by the band and escorted to a gorgeous banquet, but alas for their hopes. When they reached home n-o band awaited them, although later they were banned by the Faculty. For to their sorrow and grief they learned that Sowack was the nfon-de- plunie of one of our Athletic Board, and unwittingly they had opposed the Admin- istration. The team were so shocked by what they had done, that they would have stopped playing basket-ball at once had not W. U. P. been in town. The team inet W. U. P. that evening and defeated them to the tune of thirty-seven to twenty-seven. A A few days later the team met the Faculty, and the Faculty chastiscd the team severely, although they admitted that it hurt them worse than it did us. 124 The result of lYGSt1l'1111SfCl' vs. Faculty was no more lnaslqet-ball for the te and no more athletics for Patterson, Marks W7G'Sl'111111'SfC1' 1VGS1fll1111SJEG1.' 1VCSf1lll11SlLGl' VVQSf-l1ll11'S1QO1' 1Y'GSJEl1111'1SlQOl' 1YGStl11l11S1G 1' . 1YGSt111111'StCl' Westminster SCORE 53 51 zluzl lfllliotf.

Q!! 1-f- ll? 1 1 ,X If ,,.f Base-Ball of Season I 906 if The spring of 1906 was upon us ere we realized it, and base-ball weather was welcomed once again. As-has ever been the case at Westminster Every heart beats true For the old white and blue, and the balmy spring air brought out many enthusiastic candidates. Although deprived of a coach, the boys labored faithfully with the captain, L. Roy Deevers, and soon a good team was in- working order. The manager, J. Milton Scott, secured several practice games with some minor league teams. Against these skilled veterans our untrained volunteers made a creditable showing. After this preliminary work Westminster' launched forth to compete in- the college world. 'She battled with great credit against W. X J., Pittsburg College and W. U. P., but probably the most sensational game of the season was played at Waynesburg College. Having defeated them on our own field, we anticipated a desperate struggle on their field. We were not disappointed. For six innings it was a battle for life. Then our pitcher gave out and we were compelled to look to our captain for help. It was with no small amount of humor that he said: NCome on, boys, we'll lick :em yetjf and stepped into the pitclierfs box. To say the least, it was a surprise to the o-ther members of the team, for they never knew he could throw a straight ball, let alone curve. However, for nine innings- he pitched gilt-edged ball, having the Wayncsburg boys at his mercy. In the sixteenth inning Waynesburg's pitcher made a wild throw of McKay's bunt and allo-wed him to score the winning run. Thus with the scorre of 5 to 4 Westminster came trium- pliantly home. Our captain had elstablished his reputation as a pitcher but, strange to say, it was hard to make som-e people believe it. He pitched a lo-sing game at Slippery Rock but the defeat was not altogether due to him. At Commencement time our team was disabled on account of some leaving school early, some unable to play for various reasons, and so, although handicapped, but, never giving up, the plucky boys kept at it and won part of the games against Slippery Rock, one of the strongest teams in the country. It is true that Westminster is out for victoryv, but she also knows h-ow to take defeat, for we did not win all our games. Defeat to Westminster only spurs her on to harder work with renewed energy. At the seasonfs close we were all glad that it was oyer, and yet it was with a. feeling of regret that we laid down our arms. We look anxiously forward to the coming season and expect it to mark the beginning of a new era when Westminster's base-ball team shall be the best in the country, and when all Westminster students shall join in heartiest support of the team.

The little band with trainer, manager, and rooters numbered eleven. No one was think- ing that rnorning of class rooni or book but merely of the good time ahead. After an afternoon of diversion in l'ittsburg they entered their Pullman at the B. Sa O. station at 6 o'clock and the train and the evening sped merrily by as it always does with such a jovial crowd of college students. After the trainer had adminis- tered his timely advicef' all became quiet and no one knew anything of this world until he awakened in Philadelphia. the next morning. The team was sent to refresh .itself in quiet quarters of the hotel while the others visited the scenes of the 'tQuaker' City. The university, the city hall, the navy yards and other historical places were all of great interest. The races started a.t one-thirty and continued until after five. Michigan took the day, with time- breaking record, but the eventful race for Westminster was the one at three-twenty. When our race was called and the different colleges asked for, and our captain anis- wered Here, he was confronted with the question, 'tis Mr. Lambie here P , and the answer was 'fYesf' A protest had been made and Lanibie was declared a profes- sional, so our first substitute, who was at that inoinent standing in citizen's clothes, was called for and while our first three men were running their quarters in less than a minute each, he made a hasty change of clothes, and when the third man had finished he was the Johnnie on the spotn and off as though he had been wait- ing from the first. It was a. close race from start to finish. We had expected a victory but were forced to be content with second place, yet we felt that we had a right to boast of it for the time was good. The spectacular events of the athletic held and the sights of the city we will never forget. On our way home we spent two days most pleasantly in the city of Washington, but here we came to a stand still, the whole crowd being dead broke. All we could do was to telegraph back to our friends in little old Wilmington for sixty plunks. When aid finally arrived we were enabled to get back to college. All- in-all we had a very enjoyable trip. S. M. J., '08. 131 Relay .Team QRGHC-lillg from left to righigj UPPER ROW. IWCDONALD. 'l'1'aino1-g Buowx, LAM15113, C001-IRAN, Mgr LOWER ROW.

No college sport is more deserving of praise than the game of tennis. Advo- eates of the game fear not to have it compared with any other branch of athletics and they believe that tennis will lose nothing in the comparison. No other college sport exercises all parts ofthe body more uniformly, none other requires such rluiek .judgment and such unceasing activity, none other teaches the eye, the brain, and the muscle to act in such unison and with such dispatch. The tennis court is the pedagogue of physical self-control. The annual tournament of our Association is held each spring. Last year's meet began in the middle of May and was concluded during Commencement week. ln the singles, J. G-. McKay, '07, champion of the year previous, retained his honors, while in the doubles, R. S. Miller, 309, and A. W. Henderson, '07, won the champion- ship medals by defeating J. C. Campbell, 503, and Herbert Patterson, 707, who had held the title for two years. . For the honors in singles th-ere were entered about sixteen players. In the semi-Iinalsi' Miller defeated Moore, G-2, 3-6, G-1, and Patterson defeated Hender- son, 3-6, 6-3, G-O. The finaly clash between Miller and Patterson resulted in a 137 victory for Miller, S-6, 6-2, 1-6, 6-4. In the championship match, McKay defeated Miller, 6-1, 6-0, 6-1. For the title ot champion in doubles nine teams contested. In the semi-finals McKay and McCrory defeated Mercer and Moore, 7-5, 6-4, and Miller and Hender- son defeated Tannehill and Cochran, 6-1, 6-2. In one of the closest matches of the tournament Miller and Henderson won the lina.ls', from McKay and M:eCrory, S-6, 7-5, 11-9. The championship match, Miller and Henderson vs. Campbell and Pat- 'P terson resulted in a victory for the former, '7-5, 3-6, 6-et, 3-6, 6-1. On the first day of last October an inter-collegiate tournament was held with Geneva College at Beaver Falls. O-ur representatives Were McKay, Patterson, Miller and Henderson. Five matches were played, three of singles and two ot doubles, and Westminster won three of them, thereby winning the tournament. Patterson and Miller each Won a match of singles, but McKay was defeated by the Geneva cham- pion. In doubles, McKay and Patterson won their match While Miller and Hen- derson were defeated.. A. VV. HENDERSON R. S. MILLER Realizing that tennis is the cleanest of sports, our Association is endeavoring to arouse more interest in inter-collegiate tournaments. With this end in view We have issued invitations to Allegheny, Geneva, Grove City, W. U. P and W. ct J. to engage in a contest with us here about the first of J une.

Soon after dark, queer and unusual things began to happen in Kew Wilmington, Wierd, unearthly tigures, clad in robes ot sombre black, stalked through the dimly lighted street, while worldly-minded urchins seeking what they might devour from pans temptingly arrayed on kitchen window-sills were chased ruthlessly by noise- less swift-:Footed ghosts, perchance possessing worldly tastes of their own. Meanwhile, the hotel was a scene of 'festive hospitality. There, Doctor and Mrs. Russell, the host and hostess of the evening, tiinidly shook hands with their tearful and wonderful guests. When all had arrived, a. line was formed and the town gazed in astonishment at the parade that tiled through her streets. The procession was headed by the New Wilmington band, rendering music indeed fitting to the ocea- sion. Next in line was a hay-wagon gayly itestooned with Westminster colors and loaded with forms of humanity pouring forth their souls in tuneiful songs and yells. Then, amidst much red light and falling confetti, came the rest cake-Walking two- by two, 'tilling with terror all those who gazed upon them. After the parade, pronounced by all the event of the evening, came the unmask- ing and the serving of ret'reshmen.ts at the hotel. Pumpkin pie, cheese, and eotfee were served in truly I-Ialloweten style upon wooden plates and eaten in the light of grinning jack-op-lanterns, placed abundantly through the rooms. Such games as bobbing for apples were indulged in with great glee, and then all joined in the sing- ing ot our college songs. At about eleven rfclock. a.tter'a very much enjoyed evening, the students dis- persed to their rooms, the girls to carry out such Hallowe'en customs as tying a rib- bon around the foot of the bed and saying solemnly before seeking sleep and dreams :: 144 1 fic This 14111113 this Knot If knit, To S00 H112 1111111 that I shall, gif- H011' he looks z111cl '-W.l1a1t he wears, A1111 wlmt he dm-s 1111 His days 111111 j'G3l'S.D The boys: 111'111o1'1'Cc1 by HIC Cveiits oi the UVL'1li,11g', 111111 HIC luicriivss Ulf the 11 want i1'e111bii11g'iy 1101110 and smighf To clizlsce uwzilx' their Ql'ca1's .ifll quief siu111bc1'.

The writer does not claiin to be so annointed with the spirit of prophecy as to be able to describe in detail all features of future'development in college life. but some vision as to possibilities is claimed and an ardent faith in their reality is cherished. A FORWARD MOVEMENT. 1 For years Westminster College has been doing her work in Christian education faithfully and patiently, yet with but a scant inanci al recognition from the church, and small realization of her strategic position in the line of church development. About eighteen months ago a deeper interest. began to pervade the church as to the possibilities ot Westrninster, and the conviction began to be manifested that the Eastern part ot our denomination, to tulhl its mission, must have an enlarged educa- tional institution. With this in view the Board, by unanimous consent, purchased a tract of two hundred acres of land on McKinley Heights, south of the present location, and began to plan for new developments. That nothing but the best might be attempted the plotting of the territory was committed to Olmstead Brothers, of Brookline, Massachusetts, the noted landscape architects, who have arranged the grounds of so many colleges- and universities. As. an evidence of widening popular interest came the offer of Mr. H. J. Heinz, of the H. J. Heinz Co., to bear the ex- penses of this survey, Later, the splendid Semi-Centennial offering of the Sixth United Presbyterian Church, Pittsburg, 'furnished the initial financial resources for the forward movement. On April iirst, 1906, this congregation expressed its interest in the Semi-Centennial movement of the Church and its faith in the edu- cational purposes of its retiring pastor by making subscriptions of more than 5F200,000 for church ivorlc and through private subscription giving assurance that the offering would not be less than S3260,000. Of this sum about 5l41?O,O-OO was designated for college our noses fit Westminster o ra l l C 'f thus permitting immediate effort for the advancement ot the work. ' COLLEGE REQNOVATION. The present year has been one of foundation work for larger things. All the college buildings have undergone thorough renovation and repairs. The Hillsidej' a dormitory for girls, has been enlarged and repaired until in beauty and convenience 148 it is unexcclled by the dormitories ot any other institutions. A dormitory tor boys and gymnasium annex, baths and swiinmiug pool, will be secured in the near future. C O LLB G E E N li AR G EMEN T. Westminster under proper conditions cannot remain a small college. The size ot her denominational constituency and the enlarging allegiance ot those outside our church who respect United Presbyterian ildclity to truth, promises an institu- tion ot university proportions. There arc about 'renee United Presbyterians in the three Eastern synods of our church. These sereiity thousand may be divided into one thousand groups ol seventy each. liach group oit seventy would ilform ten families ot seven each. lt is not a wide stretch ot imagination to suppose that the time will come when one student out of every group- of ten families will enter the college, thus furnishing one thousand students from our own church. When we think of Westminster as an educational center for the great valley that stretches from Virginia to the Lakes, there comes vision of her increasing import- ance. The Greater Pittsburg with its more than half a million population is but sixty miles away. Near at hand is Youngstown with its almost 50,000 population. New Castle with almost iforty thousand, Butler, Bearer Falls, New Brighton, Sharon, Mercer, Greenville and a host ot lesser centers of population: all furnishing possi- bilities for the enlargement ot Westminster. With trolley line connections with New Castle, New Wilmington will become the educational suburb of that growing city, the whole line of travel becoming suburban property as thoughtful men place their homes where a Hftecn or twenty minute ride will take them to their place of busi- ness, and a ride of equal period carry their children to the College Halls. NEW BUILDINGS. The erection of new buildings on Mcliinley Heights will begin as soon as pres- ent iinproveinents are completed and will proceed as rapidly as the college growth demands. The new trolley line will be kept under proper moral restrictions so as to maintain for the college community a proper decorum. The power house of the electric line can be made the source of light and heat for all the new college buildings and likewise for the homes ot those who care to make the college eonnnun- ity their place of residence. A new rustic .auditorium with amphitheater advantages can be placed in the beautiful college grove recently acquired, so that this may not only be the place of Commencement exercises and Summer Missionary Conferences but also the gathering place tor United Presbyterians and others who seek a summer Chautauqua, and who would find the college dormitories a place of delightful rest during July and August. New Wilmington, the future name of which should be ffWestininisterji can thus become veritable educational and social center for the Eastern part ot the church. K 149 AN ENLARGED FAC ULTY. The enlargement and strengthening of the college faculty by increased endow- ment is one of the necessary features of the future. Large buildings and extensive grounds will no more constitute a true college than will magnificent halls and spa- cious rooms insure the atmosphere of a true home. lt takes family love to make a home. It requires mental strength, moral energy and spiritual enterprise to make a college. Westminster has been blessed in the past with a large porportion of teach- ers who, with fidelity to the college and denomination, have for small salary brought a large culture to their work. The future should provide adequate remuneration for those who eonsecrate themselves to the cause of education, and should enable the administration to secure and retain the ablest of teachers in all lines. M-ORAL IDEALS. The most. important phase of college lite is its moral and spiritual atmosphere. The ozone of truth must be strong if students are to escape the malarial forms of evil. Westminster College is supported by the church, money being given tor her support through the same religious impulses that cause offerings for the Mission Boards. The life of a college student should therefore be as clean as the Gospel of Christ demands, and its spiritual ambitions as wide as the needs of the kingdom. Parents have a right to expect that their home regulations for maintaining clean and strong lives will be paralleled by college effort, and that their children will be sent back to them with high ideals of moral purity and with freedom from the vices, petty or otherwise, that mark the lives of the distinctly worldly. The college admin- istration believes in high moral ideas and in persistent effort to maintain these. Pure athletics and all sports of healthful and moral nature are welcomed into the college life. Habits that weaken or defile the body or interfere with the best mental and moral attainments are deprecated. The administration agrees with Senator Beveridge who says The use of tobacco by a young man is an.affeeta.tion. The wisdom of Emerson is endorsed who, in answer to a friendps invitation to smoke, answered, No, I thank youg my life is already sufiiciently complex so that I do not care to burden myself with a new necessityf' Since the Nconsensus of the competentv in the medical profession declares the use of tobacco to be injurious to the growing youth, the college which aims at the best things surely needs make no apology for fo-rbidding the use of tobacco among its students, and may, as the years go by, expect a waiting list from homes where parents desire their children to be under the highest spiritual intiuence. Since a. foot-ball coach can come into college life for two months of the year and demand total abstinence from the use of tobacco that the game of the gridiron may be won, surely a college president is not oyer-stepping his preroga- tives when as coach for men in preparation for the great game of life he insists upon absolute freedom from the contaminating induences of narcotics. Westminster has moral ideals in this direction and urges that none shall enter her halls who cannot accept these with cordial sympathy. The boy who does not cease the use of tobacco in college life because he cannot is too weak in mental and moral fibre to win laurels 150 for his Alma Mater 3 while the young man who does not refrain from narcotics be- cause he will not, is too lawless both as regards parental counsel and college dis- cipline to fit synipathetically into her life. RESULTS OF CHRISTIAN IDEALS. Among the results of allamrifig and wiaintaizimg Christian ideals in college lite Westminster expects to receive both the blessing of God and the favor of men. By its adherence to Clliristian morality and a scope of effort as wide as the laws of The Kingdom of God, there will come to it ai measure of success that shall be a tes- timony to the modern world that '4Tl1e righteous Lord loveth righteousness, and to the institution, which 'C seeks first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, all things will be aclcledn including SfllflK'l'Lt-Q, fwrzrlzezs, lfllll0Il'l'l7B7lif.. l77lllCl'IlII,gS, nml the 'Joy of H10 Lorclf as V ffgfkx- X by 151 1 -i Thou Cnme Aged Bell Q' High in thy tower, thou hangest, thou time aged bell Beneath the sun-tipped sphfe ol Old Westminsterrs Hall.

A 153 was play ed R. W l V The Biblesas Literature 'if' BY R. G. Fnueusow, D. D., Teacher of the Bible. The prime design of the Bible is to reveal truth. It makes known what God is and what man is, the way of salvation and the world to come. It contains Godis law, bright transcripts of His mind and will. It contains the blessed Gospel, good news about the love of God to sinn-ers, the redeeming love of Jesus, the appointed Savior of men. The chief end of its bestowal is to bring men into a state of favor with God and conformity to His image. It has higher ends in view than mere liter- ary excellence. It is not only a. book but a power, a means to an end, a fire, a banner that breaks the rock in pieces, a sharp two-edged sword, an incorruptible seed, pro- ducing a new life. Yet it has a high place in literature. lt is the Book of books, the model and fountain of pure literature. Its minor characteristics are worthy of consideration as well as its chief ends. Bead it for whatever purpose we may, its vi- tality and power will be felt. The mental contact makes possible the experience of its saving power. 1. lt is the oldest literature extant. It reaches further back than the ancient writings of anypeople. Moses lived a. thousand years before Confucius and whether he gathered the facts he records from earlier sources or not, the brief yet important history he gives, goes back to creation itself. 2. lt is pure and wholesome literature. It requires ceaseless vigilance to keep out of libraries, schools and families the pestilent books that so much abound. But we have the wise man's assurance- Every word of God is pure, and the Psalmist addresses Jehovah-'4Thy word is very pure , therefore doth thy servant love it. But says some captions critic-'fThere are some things in the Bible unfit for ears polite. You would not read them in the presence- of othersf' In reply we may say-Some of the holiest facts of nature are unsuited for public discussion. And when the Bible speaks of vice, it is never to gloat over it. It does not gild it over and make it attractive, but reveals its odious character and ignominious end. lt shows us a wicked Balaam, meeting the reward of his ill-doing in his destruction with the Midianites. It shows even the servant of God bearings the retribution of his sin, as in the case of Moses dying on lonely Nebo, instead of going into the prom- ised land, because of his sin at the waters of Meribah. So the Scriptures, while faithfully recording the vices as well as the virtues of the persons mentioned, always do it in such a way as to illustrate the saving- The wav of the transgressor is hardf' 3. There is in the Biblical literature a variety suited to the tastes of all. ls it history you are interested in? Could anything be more graphic and some- 154 times thrilling than the story of the patriarchs and of Joseph and of Moses, of Gideon and of Barak, and of Sampson and of Jepthah, of David also, and of Samuel and of the prophets, who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought right- eousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of tire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Take the sketch of Moses as a sample. No greater mere man ever lived, so many-sided-general, deliverer, prophet, law-giver, poet, historian. Yet in the few pages covered by his history, we get a clear, vivid, realistic view of the man and his marvelous career. He stands out before us in the Word as the great man he was. Then in the New Testament, how simply and naturally the evangelists tell us about the birth, life and death of J esus. The story is free from all affectation or attempt. I-Iow ditferent from the Apocryphal Gospels, with which Canon Farrar says they are in 'fmarked and violent contrast? . Are you a lover of poetry? You may here find something to your taste. That oldest choral melodyj' the book of Job, those never-dying lyrics in the book of Psalms, that oriental song of loves and those poetic thoughts that spring up like flowers in a meadow as we read the prophets, afford a rich feast to those who are able to appreciate it. How beautiful these words from the song of Moses-'Cas an eagle stirreth up her nest, tluttereth over her young, sprcadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings, so the Lord alone did lead himf' Or these from the prophet Nahum- The Lord is slow to anger and great in power and will not at all acquit the wicked, the Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm and the clouds are the dust of his feet. Is it solid argument you wish? What better specimens can you find than 'are furnished by the epistles of Paul? If you are in search of good practical maxims for your guidance in life, we have the very best in this Word. What a repository of practical wisdom is the Proverbs, which if observed would keep us from disaster, either financial or moral. And if any ask for interesting narrative, does not the Bible give it? I remember an experience I had when in my early ministry. I was a supply to vacant churches. Having some leisure, I read during the week a tale of Bayard Taylor and though it quite enjoyable. But when Sabbath came I took the Book of Esther and read it through and with a far keener delight than had been found in the pages of f'IIannah .Thurstonft It was history and yet was invested with all the charm of romance. Very often we go hunting for something sprightly and entertaining, when if we would only open our Bibles that lie unused upon our tables, we would find the obj-ect of our search. In this as in many another thing, we overlook what is near. Surely there is variety enough in the Word to gratify the desires of everyone of us and the half has not been told. -l-. The Bible is of uniform literary excellence. With all its variety of com- position, with its various authors coming from different positions and occupations, from the shepherd and fisherman to the king upon the throne, it preserves all through it the same chaste naturalness and easy dignity. Dr. Shcdd, in his work on Homiletics, names three characteristics of style as 155 primary and indispensable-viz, plainness, force and beauty? Do not all these characterize the Bible in an eminent degree? Its language is plain and easily understood, so that he who runneth may readf' The end the writers had in view was to instruct and that affects their language. It is equally removed on the one hand from the overwrought and bonibastic and on the other hand from the philosophical and abstract. It is the simple, natural language of the common speech of man. But though plain, its language is neither weak nor bald. There is living energy in it. Its inspired authors are moved by strong tides of feeling and give utterance to their thoughts with corresponding force. Prophets and apostles stood forth for a cause and spake to move the hearts of their hearers. They sought to produce an effect, to convince, to- impress, to stimulate. Wihat can surpass in bold energy the wordns of Paul-ffWho shall lay anything to the charge of Godts elect? It is God that ustiiieth, who is he that condenineth? It is Christ that died, yea rather that is risen again, who is ever at the right h and of God, who also maketh intercession for us. And what glad triumph is expressed in the closing verses of the fifteenth chap- ter of First Corinthians! And what a telling sermon that was preached on Mars Hill! Dean Milman has spoken of the latter as perhaps the most extensively a.nd permanently effective oration ever uttered by manf' So might we speak of others, of Isaiah's rhapsody' of Zion redeemed, of Malaehi's earnest appeal, of James' direct address. , And if we look for beauty of language, the Scriptures abound in illustrations of it. It is not put on like the barbarian paints his skin, but comes forth from with- in, like the bloom of a. maiden's cheek. It is the transparent amber, enclosing the thought which it reveals. There is a meretricious ornament tha.t is sometimes mis- taken for beauty. This will not be found here. But that chaste beauty that always contributes to clearness, that does not steal out by itself, but grows out of and adorns the underlying thought, is found all through the Bible. Nature is freely made use of to illustrate the truth. Ruskin says- The Bible is speeiiieallv distinguished from all other early literature by its delight in natural imageryf, Especially is this seen in the words of Him, who spake as never man spake, in those parables which are drawn from every side to set forth the doctrine of the Kingdom. n The excellencies of style are fundamental and will not wear out. This unaff- ectedness, this sympathy with nature and with common life, this unphilosophical form of expression will commend itself everywhere. These Scriptures are adapted to all nations and tribes and ages for this reasoni along with others. Says Taylor Lewis'- The Scriptural style and Scriptural language are not meant for one age, but for all ages. Its orientalisms will grow in the West, its archaisms will be found still young in this centuryf' It would be easy to bring many competent witnesses to the literary value of the Bible. Said William Wirt, the biographer of Patrick Henry, himself an orator and statesman-'4The Bible is the only universal classic-the classic of all mankind, of every age and country, of time and eternity 3 humble and simple as the primer of a child, grand and magnificent as the epic and the oration, the ode and the drama, when genius with his chariot of fire and horses of Hre. ascends in a whirlwind into 156 the heaven of his own invention? Says Huxley, whom we have been accustomed to look upon as an enemy of revealed religione-says even Huxley- Take the Bible as a whole, make the severest deductions which tair criticism can dictate ........ and there still remains in the old literature a vast residium olf moral beauty and grandeurf: It we follow these thoughts to their legitimate conclusion, will we not lind an ar- gument for the divinity-the inspiration ot the Scriptures? Whence came this undying literature, that fits into every age and land? It began with an isolated, exclusive people, having little association with the surrounding world. It issued from an unlikely source. How does it come that shepherds and fishermen, without learning or genius or wide experience, are able to speak so as to gain the ear of hu- manity at large? Whence came these inspiring, ennobling thoughts that are mould- ing the loftiest character wherever they are received? Does not the stream rise high- er than the human fountains we see? Is it not because these Scriptures are inspired of God, that they appear so uniformly excellent, so suited to the great world of man- kind, so profitable for doctrine, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, so thoroughly furnishing men ot God unto all good works.

Study it most of all for its spiritual power over your soul. Study it to find Christ Jesus, the pearl of great price, who is the very heart and soul and substance of the Scriptures and that you may be enriched by Him in everything. He says, under the name ot Wisdom-f'Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoso indeth me, tindeth life and shall obtain favor of the Lord. 157 The Pipe of Peace 'Q' To the American lndian, his pipe was an emblem of peace and tranquility, and when he sat by the camp-fire with the fragrant smoke-wreaths curling about his ruddy face all thoughts of hostility and enmity were put far from him. And so when the bloody hatehet was buried and the diierences between two contending tribes adjusted, the representatives of the tribes concerned gathered about the camp-ihre and smoked the pipe of peace to seal the compact of friendship and good-will. This custom has been handed down from generation to generation, from the days of the ea.rliest settlers, a.nd for many years it has been observed in Westminster College by the Junior and Senior classes. Just before Commencement Day, when the soft air of June laden with the perfume of the roses, and all nature seems to whisper of peace and tranquility, the Juniors and Seniors meet on the College campus near the historic old building which has looked down on many gatherings of this kind. As they stand around the bon'-fire, its ruddy glow lighting their faces, a representative of each of the two classes delivers a short address, after the manner of the Indian braves, when they met on occasions of peace-making. The speakers generally rehearse all the strugglesfor supremacy that have taken place during their college career, the many hard-fought battles on the gridiron and diamond and track, and live over again those glorious contests of by-gone days. And then, as a realization comes that the Seniors are about to go away from the old school, about to leave the town where four happy, busy years have been spent, about to leave the scenes about which so many happy memories cluster, an unusual solemnity falls upon the listening crowd, and the voice of the speaker, as it drifts out upon the evening aii',.ala-as a note of sadness in it. Now peace reigns. The conflicts are all past. The politicians of the classes no longer scheme to outwit each other, and the warriors no longer go into training to prepare themselves for contests of strength and skill, the liatchet of strife is bur- ied, never to be resurrected again. And then, when the speeehfmaking is over, the members of the two classes smoke the pipe of peace and good-will, there under the open sky, under the same, stars that many times looked down on the red men of the primeval forest as they performed the same ceremony. For a time song and jest are mingled with the smoke, while the Freshmen and Sophoinores who have gathered :round as onlookers, send up their challenging yells again and again, and now and then a little group of graduates who have come back to visit the old scenes once more, mingle their old battle-ery with the shouts of the others. Here a dozen or more shout out the yell of the class of 1903, or of 1900, and there four or live are gathered together giving the yell of M79 or of '80, and here 158 hy themselves are two inen, their hair touched hy the frost of years, and as they stand arm in arm, watching the others, a smile spreads over their laces, and then as they eateh the inspiration of the moment they join in and give the yell of the elass of '68, And then. as the light from the dying embers grows diinmer and diinnier, the crowd gradually breaks up into little groups of two or three 5 and as they move away into the enveloping darkness, here and there a shout or a laugh rings out, and then all is still. Each student goes lioineward silent and thoughtflful, and in each heart is a strange mixture o If sadness and gladness. Such is the eustoin of smoking the pipe ot peaee, a Custom heautilul in its signifieanee, a Custom which hy all means should he preserved. The memories that C-luster around this oeeasion are ones that remain with the student even though he goes out to the uttermost parts olf the earth, and when he returns to Westminster's walls, it matters not whether he he just starting on lil'e's patli-wav, flushed with his lirst taste ol power and sueeess, or whether he he. with tottering and uncertain footsteps, eoinpleting the last stages ot the journe-v, his heart is stirred to its depths as he stands listening once more to'the words ol a pipe of peace address, which carry him hack to other days. There are many Customs and traditions wliic-li are dear to the heart of West- ininster's sons and daughters, as they look hael: at their eollege experiences through the inist of years, and among these is the custom ot smoking the pipe of peaee.

True, these have a place in a college community that must be figured with at times, but it was for none ot them that the Argo Staff yielded these two pages in their booli. There is just one position in the sphere of college influence, power and importance that, to the mind of the student, surpasses that of the Pres- ident or faculty, and that is the position of the College Boss. It is he who stands at the head of a coterie ot students and by the power vested in him by the loyalty of a majority, moulds the sentiment and shapes the policies of his party. And in th-e measure as his policies prove democratic and his personality proves- attractive will his influence in determining college sentiment and the trend ot student affairs be felt. In other words he is the leader in college politics. That such a person should exist in a college community is not strange. A pursuit of theoretical branches for intellectual development does not take from a man thatlambition for intluence in practical, worldly affairs which is so common to most men. Nor is the influence of the college Y. M. C. A. always so strong as to cause him to conune his methods to the limits prescribed by a healthy conscience. We sec in him humanity in its weakness and in its strength, now swayed by and now withstanding the same influences and tendencies which operate in the world at large. This organized system of college politics has arisen to meet a pressing need. The object in a college education has been broadly stated as-'ipreparation for after lite. Nor does anyone suppose for a moment that the college student has been so blinded by the dazzling attractiveness ot Calculus and Chemistry and so impressed with the practical necessity of a knowledge of Greek verbs and Free Hand Drawing, that he has lost sight of that equally essential train-ing along lines ot politics and graft? Not at all. His first step is to take a comprehensive view ot lite and then to build his foundation in strength and breadth according to the stress that will be laid upon it. ls it any wonder then that college students, in the absence of an endowed chair of political methods, graft, and polished cor- ruptness, should, in view of the need of a knowledge of the same, establish a course of training along that line themselves? And just as n-aturally as does politics ind its leader in the Political Boss in the world at large, so does it find its leader in the College Boss in the college world. But this position is not always a tixed quantity, nor is it always an easy matter to tell just who wears the purple robe. A common' ambition for the place has given rise to a system of silent competition in which each aspirant gathers around him such as are faithful and. in everything else. his power will only be limited as the 160 'J number of his followers .is limited. And since this following is dependent upon his ability to pull wires, salve the touchy ones, and show his concessions through a strong magnifying glass, it is evident thatithere must be cultivated in him all the qualities requisite in a politician from a. ward stumper to a Corporation Sena- tor. The practical benefit of such a course of training both to the Boss who learns by experience, and to the constituents who learn by example, is obvious. lfncler favorable conditions the amount of graft and corrnptness possible for the Boss to indulge in is simply marvelous. We say, under favorable conditionsg that means when the pressure that might result from an interpos-ition of the Faculty or of a too sensitive conscience, is not brought into the field of action. In the absence of these two elements, restraint and conscience. which are so unnecessary in politics anywhere, the amount of selfishness and wire-pulling indulged in by the Boss linds no parallel in the outside world anywhere short of the United States Senate. As an ideal course of training, then, for the prospective member of that dignified body of our national legislature this position of College Boss stands pre- eminently in the forefront. Of course, there may be some, who after having had the advantage of this training, through some personal peculiarity or unfortunate circumstance may fail to reach the Senate, but let us not condemn the system be- cause of the failure of the few. There are even some who spend four years in the best of colleges and graduate without a college edncationg vet we do not condemn the college or the culture for which it stands. On the other hand, there is a practical benefit from college politics for those who rally to the support of the Boss and are satisned with a place of less importance. All cannot be leaders. In fact, a majority must be on the list of followers. But their place of comparative insignilicance does not render them useless. Everyone of them holds the same voting power as does the Boss and in addition each one has personal infiuence, with at least a few, that must not be despised. They as a class are therefore qualified to render no mean service in the execution of dictated plans. Thus comes the first training of their lives in serving as figure-heads and thus comes their first knowledge of how to be eflicient and wieldy tools in the hands of another. This training is also necessary for the best interests of twentieth cen- tury politics and for the furtherance of the cause of the political Boss. In view, then, of the practical need which college politics meet let us again rally to the support of the champion of the cause and swear allegiance anew to the public-spirited, self-sacrificing hero, the College Boss!

The river sports are the most popular, and are therefore the most representa- tive. Their scene is the river lris-which the name given to that part of the Thames just at Oxford and within a, mile or more on either side. Along one bank of the stream runs the tow-path, along the other Qthe Oxford sidej for a distance of two or three hundred yards are moo-red the college barges. These barges are not moved, but to-rm permanent, floating club-houses-one for each College aind one 'For the 'Varsity , and to be president ot oneis College Boat club is naturally one ot the highest athletic honors possible, short of itniakingst the 'Varsity crew. The numbers and proportion ot men who take up rowing at Oxford form a marked contrast to those ot our American universities which indulge in the sport-and the comparison holds good in other branches of athletics also, and this fact immediately brings us face to .face with perhaps the most fundamental difference between the spirit of American athletics and that in an English univer- sityf In an American college, usually, Q though not alwaysj only those men who are likely to Hmalve the team go out and try a sport, comparatively few others besides, tennis and base-ball are perhaps the only exceptions. lfn an English col- lege everybody, almost without exception, goes in for at least one sport-many for two or three or more, at the same time. For example, in almost any one of our insti- tutions which include rowing as one of their athletic pastimes, where there is an at- tendance of three thousand live hundred or four thousand students, not more than about 50 or 60 at most take up rowing Qwhich is, nevertheless, a very popular sport wherever it can be hadj. 'lfhat is, not more than the 'varsity crew and substitutes, the four-class crews, and a few others. Here at Oxford, with about the same total attendance, any one of the larger colleges will easily have Htty or sixty rowing men, and there would probably be an average of about twenty or thirty rowing men in each of the twenty or more colleges in Oxford-a very striking difference. The American iiYl1'l1i7 and eager enthusiasm in college athletics is a very commend- able trait, and one to be proud of, but do we not often nialic athletics a matter of life a.nd death? The enthusiasm here is just as strong as ours Qthough shown in a different wavy but in the English college the students regard athletics as-sport. Put up a good, fair, honest fight, if the other side is winning, all right, make a good sporting effort to prevent them, and if you lose the championship, no mat- ter. This should not be misunderstood as indicating apathy or indifference, for Englishmen are just as eager to win as we are, and an athletic contest loses all its 164 spice if there is nothing to win, but in far too many of our colleges the spirit has seemed to be tespecially in foot-ballj Win, by fair mea.ns if you can, but by all means fzumf' ' But let us go back to the boating. When a student Ncomes upn to Oxford for the lirst time, the first or second evening after his arrival he is visited by the captain of his college boat-club and perhaps one or two of his assistants, and is asked if he does not wish to take up rowing. The rnajority of the Freslnnan class in each col- lege usually signify assent. The next step is to get the proper apparel-for every sport in Oxford has its own peculiar attire, and it is highly in 'tbad form to use anything ditferent, or to use for one sport the garb belonging to another. NRow- ing togs consist of ordinary low shoes Qusually of brown canvasj, golf or bicycle stockings, t'shorts Qwhite flannel trousers reaching about to the 'knee, leaving the knees barej, and a Zephyr tan ordinary light gyiniuasiuni jerseyj. If it is cold, a white sweater and a wool niulller are added, Just in passing, it is one of the finest things about Oxford athletics that it is possible to engage in them all the year round outdoors in the open air, only on- very rare occasions does the river freeze. With us this is unfortunately impossible. - A Every day about two oiclock, just after lunch, a steady stream of young men can be seen pouring down the lfanious old 'tlioard Walk' with its double row of magnificent elms, to the river. The Freslnnan is initiated into the inysteries, and finds that scientific rowing a yery ditlcrent matter from any rowing he may have ever attempted in his life before-in fact, those who have never rowed before often make very good Mears, and learn much more quickly since th-ey have less to unl- learn! Eyery day the beginner with one companion in tribulation is taken out in a 'itubu to receive instruction. A tub, as its name implies, a rather broad, heavy boat. The coach sits in the stern, holding the tillerropes, and delivers dissertations on how to keep the back straight, feather the oa.r, drive with the legs, nip onto the beginningi' of the stroke, and a hundred and one other' matters all vitally im- portant if one is to row well, This regular, daily training is no easy and simple mat- ter, and many a.re the aches and woes it involves, indeed, very many would-be oarsmen, and many good ears as well, soon iind it necessary to invest in a pontius,J' a sorely-needed pad of felt to he placed on the thwart in the boat! But before long those who giye promise of better things are taken out in Nfourst' as well as in utubs 3 and this is much more interesting, though it means still harder work. Sioon come the Junior Foursn races, held by each college separately. Here the 'ffoursi' race each other in twos, the winners are paired off against each other again, and so on until one four remains-the happy members of which receive small pewter pots as a souvenir and prize. Then, again, the best men among the beginners are chosen and given special training along with the others who hare rowed before 5 and now preparations are in full swing in every college for the 'iTorpids'2 races+m,ore commonly called HToggersl'-which, however, are anything but sluggish l Now the joys of rowing in an eight are experienced, and a light boat or shell': adds much to what has by this time become enjoyment as well as hard work. Thi- Togger7' crew of each college corresponds to what we would ca.ll a second team or crew, for no one 165 I 4 :rw may row in it who is on tie College ffllightf' The tloggersv are rowed in the winter term, every afternoon for six successive days. Since the Thames is only about twenty-tive or fifty yards wide at Oxford the boats cannot row abreast, so the device of a bumping race has been invented. The boats a.re lined up one behind the other a.t equal distances apart, every man leans forward ready to drop in his oar and leap to his work 3 the last few seconds of the last minute are counted off: Jflllive four three two one Bang l ' goes the starting gun and every boat is off. The object of the race is this: each boat tries to catch up with and bump the one just ahead of it. If it succeeds, both bumper and bumped pull out to one side and let the others go on. Next day when the races are rowed, the boat which ha.s ma.de the bump goes up one step in the line-taking its victinfs pla.ce. The boat which reaches and maintains its position as Head of the Rivef' is of course covered with glory. The members of each college turn out in a body and range themselves along the 'ftow-path just opposite their college boat. Then when the race is on, pande- nionium breaks loose 5 everybody runs along the path shouting encouragement to the crew in which he is interested, huge policemen's rattles clatter furiously, big dinner bells clanig, and revolvers and pistols fairly pepper the atmosphere. The race along the tow-path is nearly as interesting as that on the water, the madly-shouting throng cannot help shoving and jostling as they run along, and woe be to the man who happens to stumble and fall-especially if rain has made the path muddy, as it nearly always has! It certainly seems like a case of Run, sinner, run 5 for the devil will take the hindmostf' But the strange thing to us Americans is that there are no college yells at all, no shouting in snappy well-timed unison, without which a college to us is hardly a college. Here everybody yells or not as he chooses, and he usually chooses, so there is one continuous confused roar, out of which come occasionally Well rowed! Well rowed, sir! Well rowed, indeed ! To have a college uyell' would be considered ungentlemenly and barbaric-the latter of which some of our college yells undoubtedly are 3 but a good American College yell, given by severa.l thousand all in perfect time, gives one a feeling utterly indescribable, our college spiritv-Oxford has nothing like it. The College 'fEights races are the event of the year. They are rowed in May, and are exactly similar to the Toggers except that sliding instead of fixed seats are used. Visitors from all over England and Europe throng into Oxford for Eights' Week ,U the top of every college barge is crowded with spectators, all the canoes, punts, and boats of every description are illed, and gay times are in order. In the summer term also, each College usually holds a Regatta, at which a great many different water races are contested. But these races are not intended as real races-they are the 'fragj' which, being interpreted, means that they are just for the fun to be gotten out of them, not serous, and so they are made as gro- tesque and funny as possible. It certainly is ridiculous to see eight or ten men sta.nd- ing in a punt sweeping the water with canoe-paddles as if with brooms 5 having no previous training, the result is the punt usually goes round and round instead of forwards, the men jostle against each other in their narrow quarters, and the race nearly always ends in the most of the crew falling overboard! The 'fcocklesf' race is also very amusing. A 'Ccocklev is a small boat almost circular, and so constructed 166 that a hard pull at its little oars has an alarming tendency to make it put its nose down into the water-and turn completely upside down, the occupants, of course, getting spilled !' But the more spills the merrier the day. The best men in the College f'Eights are tried the next year for the 'Varsity crew, and to have rowed a week in the 4' 'Varsity trialsi' is considered a very great honor indeed, even if unsuccessful in Hmakingv the ,Varsity crew. The event for which this crew trains is the annual struggle with Cambridge, which gives a man his Blue,'J-that is, he has the privilege of wearing the 'Varsity color, a plain blue tie or hat-band, which only a member of the 'Varsity team is allowed to wear. But the river is just as willing to give pleasure to the ordinary under-graduate as to a 7Varsity Blue 53' and in the summer term the water of both the Thames and of the Cher, its beautiful little tributary, is covered with canoes and little boats of many kinds Hlled with contented occupants. If something a little more strenuous is wanted there are Mwhitfsv or tooth-picks, light shells built to hold only one, and propelled with light sculling oars. They are very narrow, and so prone to upset that one often feels it almost a necessity to part oneis hair in the middle in order to preserve the exact balance! But the Oxford punt7' is the most characteristic vessel--if such a term may be used-on the river. The water is not deep and the punt can easily be pushed very swiftly from place to place by the use of a long pole. These punts can be seen by scores moored to the banks of the Cher, in the shade of some over-hanging trees, the occupants reclining at ease on cushions, reading, sleeping, or studying. The Oxford punt is not the ugly, almost square-shaped thing which the word ususally suggests, but long and graceful, holding four comfortably-six when necessary. In the spring and summer they outnumber all other boats and are the favorite alike of the Oxford men themselves and of their mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, and friends. Many is the gay party one can see, who have taken their afternoon tea along in baskets and are making merry over the cup that cheers but does not inebriatef' Many are the quiet, happy, com- fortable hours one spends studying and dozing, listening to the hum of insects and to the bird voices singing and calling to each other 5 and returning in the twilight dusk it seems almost perfect to hear the clear, sweet notes of a nightingale sounding softly from a grove near by. Well may the river with its sports and pleasures and Ez.. f I. X 1. 's f'-2 f 74 ai11'1Pib- f7 'f -.f++5 Y,,.4.-, ,V .ss if 1' X lg, ,' '-1 'ti . memories be termed the favorite of Oxford!

No, wedre going tomorrow, replied one. ':Uon1e down to the roonis this evening , suggested Bill. There:s about a dozen of us staying over, and we shall all be there . The fall t-erin had just closed, and several of the students who had examinations that afternoon could not leave for hoine until the next morning. As there was nothing else to do, all these fellows were ready to spend the evening at the frat r-oonis, especially since Bill ha.d suggested it, for that was the unfailing proinise of a good tirne. Bill was one of the foreinost inen in the fraternity and one of the inost popular in school. His affable nianners nrade hini well liked by everyone, and his untiring energy had placed hini a.t the head of several of the student organizations. XVh-en he entered Kelton two years before, he could have given a certificate of good inoral character. But he had gradually fallen into the ways of the gang, and now in his Junior year was ready to lead them in alnrost any revelry, so long as there was no special danger of being found out. Shortly after supper the fellows began to arrive, and were soon seated around the tables, playing cards and carelfessly discussing the examinations of the previous three days. Bill and his rooinniate, Toni Edgar, together with two of the best card players in school, were engaged in an interesting gaine of whist in one corner of the rooni. The game becaine ahnost exciting when each side had won two gaines and was playing off the tie. The others left their tables in order to watch the nrore interesting ganie between the star players. 4fYou should have taken that one, Bill , said one of the spectators, and Bill's opponent chuckled as he gathered in the trick. C'l'll bet you the drinksiwe win outn, declared Bill confidently. 'fWe'll take you up on that, quickly replied the player to his left, and soon it was agreed that the losing side should treat the crowd. Bill soon showed his foresight in allowing the one trick to pass, for he was able to take in the inajority of the reinaining ones, and sow came out victorious. He and his rooni-niate had played their present opponents many times, but were seldom a.ble to win out against them. So now, having his usual good humor stimulated by this victory, he decided to celebrate by getting a ease of cfliainpagne in addition to the one due from the defeated players. 168 The fellows returned to their various tables and resumed their games, while Bill and a companion went up street to order the relfresliments. Tlier soon returned, bringing with them a large sack of cheese sandwiches and pretzels, which they ,knew would go well with the liquor. The champagne arrived in due time, and soon the imp.rox'ised banquet was in full swing. The popping of champagne eorks mingled strangely with the laughter and the stories that were being told by each one in his turn. It was not long before several of the boys began to s-how the elfects of their frequent drinks, and when Billfs time to tell a story came, he was in a hilarious mood. He had been delighting the crowd by his comic remarks during the previous stories, and now that he had the floor alone, he was expected to tell something especially entertaining. This reminds nie , he began in ai slow hiecoughing manner, of Peter and John and the rest of that bunch taking supper in the upper room. By Jove! wouldn't we make a line set of Apostles? There's just a. dozen of us here, too. J ack, you doubting fool, you're Thomas, and you're Ju-Judas, Ed. Tom-U. He was looking around to assign the others their role, when suddenly he started and began to stare with a frightened expression toward the opposite end ot the room. His face was white with fear and every feature showed intense emotion. His strange action put an end to the laughter, and everyone looked in the direction in which he was staring. But they saw nioit-hing unusual. lfinally someone asked, What's the matter, old man ?': 1 must get out of this, fellowsv, said Bill, aroused to a. sense of his surround- ings by the question. When he had left the room, the fellows began to conjecture the cause of it all. But Bill did not have delirium tremens as someone suggested, nor was his capriee due to the liquor alone. He had caught ia glimpse of a. face looking in through one of the windows at the back of the room. It was an unusual face, full of pity and sorrow, as of a friend whose feelings he had wounded. Whether it was because of the liquor or of a sudden sting of conscience for his disgraceful conduct, Bill imagined that the face which looked in upon him with such stern yet gentle chiding was the face of Christ. All through the dark campus, as he hurried to his room, he thought that the :face he had seen at the window was looking at him from behind with the same expression of mingled rebuke and com- passion. When he reached his room he quickly lit the lamps and' after pacing the room for half an hour, retired. But the heavy slumber of his room mate made his thoughts all the more unendurable. At times he would doze golf to sleep, but would wake with a start as the vision of the face at the window came again in his dreams. And thus, tired and worn out yet unable to rest, he spent a miserable night. The next day as the train approached the little country station near his h-ome, Bill began to think of his conduct during his college life. And as he looked back over the two and a half years that had passed since he had entered college, he saw how he had abused his privileges in many such revelries as had occurred the previous night. He thought of the sacrifice his parents had made to keep him in school and how unworthy he had been of their kindness. ffTliey've done about everything for me, but of what good has it been?

Wouldirt it be a lot of fun to correspond with some boys at Marmount whom you didn't know,?5' suggested Jean Beck to two of her friends, who were sitting in her room at the dormitory of Pindrith. Well, I shoruld say it would, announced Grace Mahan, abut then, there is no use talkinfg, for we couldnft possibly carry it out. I don't see why, said Jean, Hand I dare you two girls to start a correspond- ence with some of the boys . You dare us X from the two at once. Then we will do it. Now, let's sec how we can arrange, for first of all we must get three boys interested in itu. Oh, I have an idea., why canft we advertise and use assumed names PM exclaimed Jean laughingly. Now, that is just the thing, why diclnft we think of it before PU agreed Bess Irwin. 'CWell girls, I simply must get this horrid, old Greekv, sighed Grace. Oh come onf' interposed Bess, you can get your Greek out this evening, and we must get this ad written. We must send it to the Uniontown Courier, for all the Marmount students take that paperf, They spent some time thinking and writing by turns, and in' the end had an advertisement which they thought would answer the purpose. It read thus: Wanted-Three college boys to correspofnd with three college girls. Se-nd all answers to box 112. A few days afterward when the girls went for their mail, they found about fifteen letters in their box with no address but the box number. They knew right away that these were in answer to their advertisement. They could hardly wait till they reached their rooms so eager were they to read the letters. After reading them all, they coruld not decide what three to select. Finally they blindfolded one of the girls, and she pulled out three of the letters. The names signed to these were John Graham, George Carter and Leslie Elliott. The girls answered that evening signing as their names Julia Peterson, Ada Duval and Mary Lewis. They arranged with the postmaster that if any letters should come for these names that they were to be put in their boxes. Expectantly they awaited the answers to their notes, and in about fo-ur days received replies. They like-d the towne of the letters very much, and at once became curious to see the boys. Oh Bess, I think this is the most fun I have had for a month of summersj' exclaimed Jean one evening when she was studying. 4'What are you talking about? Do you mean that crazy old Latin which you 171 have been grunibling so much about? Well, I think you change your mind an awful lot, answered Bess. 44011, no, you silly little goosej: returned Jean, I mean this correspondence that we are carrying onf' t'0h, yes, I do too. I am getting very anxious to see the boys, arentt you ?', asked Bess. 'Girls, dontt you think we are having a lot of fun over our dare ?'J interjeeted Grace Mahan, who had just entered. HI was just wondering whether to tell the other girls-would you ?f' t'Oh, no !'f they both answered. ':Don7t tell them until we see how this turns outf: ' As time passed on the letters were exchanged more frequently than ever between Marmofutli and Pindrith. At last the boys asked permission to call. At lirst the girls did not feel that this was quite the proper thing to do. But their curio-sity got the better of them, and they granted the request for the next Friday evening. They arranged with the maid that when the assumed names were as-ked tor, she should come to them. On the evening that the boys were to come the girls were very excited and as usual very talkative. ' Oh, girls, do answer niy question! Shall I wear my pink or blue dress? I think you might tell nief' cried Jean, trying to make her voice heard above the other girls? chatter. ttWell, Ifm sure I dontt know what you should wear, but I suppose your pink would be betterj: answered one of the girls carelessly. I ani so anxious to see those boys , said Grace, whose. tongue ran on wildly all the while. I wonder what they lofok like and-7' 4'Oh Grace, please throw me that nail iile 5 it is there on the bed. Do hurry or il never will get readyj' interrupted Bess excitedly. Presently the maid knocked at the door, and announced that the young men had come, and were waiting in the parlor. The girls, after running about looking for their handkerehiefs and surveying tlieinselves in the mirror several times, started down stairs. f'Oh Grace, you ge in Iirstf' whispered Bess. UNO, I wonit, you go iirst yourself, said Grace. But linally alfter much debating Jean started boldly in. As they entered, three boys rose to meet them, but upon ,seeing the girls they were utterly duiubfounded and bewildered. 4'Oh--ah-I'm so-so very glad to see you, Jaekjp broke forth Je-an to hier br-o-ther, who was one of the boys. ifBut what did you come here for without letting us know? she added half angrily. Well, I must say that is a nice welcome to give a fellow when we wanted to surprise youj' grumbled Jack, wishing that his sister had not come in at this inopportune moment. The confusion on both sides was complete and overwlielming. There stood a cousin of Grace., a brother of Jean and an unknown third friend. 172 Hess xrliispered excitedly to Grace, Say something quickly or they may think there is a. joke being played ou them. Grace, who was the tirst to see the humor ot the situatio1i5 asked archly, C'Did you see auytliing of Mr. Carter as you eaiue in ? UI ain Mr. Carter, replied the llulcuown howiug handsomely. And did you see anything of Mr. Grahaiu ? asked Bess stepping forward. Graee's cousin acknowledged to the name with nioek gravity. Then Jean and Jack stood 'Facing each other with the silliest exp1'ossion possible on their eouutenanees. Suddenly there was a roar oi laughter from the other four, and when it had subsided Jack remarked to his sister, ':Well Jean, I guess the joke is on us?

Tonight let's put oil the grave and severe, And turn hack to the days of the past, When society,-fun-was the principal thing And study and hard work came last. Those were good old days in Westminster, Days gone nevcrinore to return. They live now, only in visions When the Hres of memory burn. But the jolliest times in those jolly days, And the ones of which all may tell, Are the times spent in planning, in elfort To please that peerless college belle. Capricious and willful, a true coquette, Entangling us all in her spells, Yet charming and Winsome and eler reincarnate, In loveable form,-that college belle. And We all paid her homage in one way or other, Willing subjects were ruled by her power. In strolling or driving, in concert or game, Together we spent many hours. So here's to her health, lift high the bowl, And drink to the girl we loved so well, To that tantalizing, heart-inspiring, Ever regnant, college belle. 175 N.G.K The Passing of Shaky Hollofw 'if' With 'the first warm days and the robins come thoughts of Shaky Hollow. No sooner has sun and wind made strolling beyond the city limits possible, than scores of college youths turn their steps towards this Mecca of Strollers. Just a wooded ravine west of town, with no historic interest and no half-forgotten legend to commend it to youthful minds, yeta sort of romance clings around the very name. Shaky Hollow! It hints of ghosts and goblins 5 of witches and elves 3 of every wierd shape or fancy that has power to make the flesh creep and the knees tremble. Did some wicked fairy once dwell here, whose hatred of human kinfd sho-wed itself in such dreadful deeds that terror smote the heart of any who might chance to approach her dwelling during the witching hours of night? Or was the valley so named because ot the trepidation of the youth strolling here fo-r the iirst time with the maiden, who, for the time being, had cast her spell over him. Perhaps the origin was more prosaic and it may be only a. corruption of the name of the Hrst settler who staked his claim near this spot. Who knows! At all events the feeling that something once happened here still haunts the little valley, and few indeed are they who leave the halls of Westminster without having paid many a visit to Shaky H-0-llow. Two deep narrow valleys slope down from the west and no-rth, meeting in a rounded basin, then extending eastward toward the village. The nortliward valley is deeper, narrower, more picturesque and better adapted to' adventure than the westward valley. The la.tter, however, running parallel to the road and hidden from it by a beautiful knoll forms an ideal place for a quiet chat or an hourts Study. Here the flowers bloom earliest and sun and shade commingle in the most perfect harmony. Here the blue-bird's song is sweetest and the whip-poor-will's most plaintive, even' the toads that seem to spring from the ground beneath your very feet are less repugnant than elsewhere. A sense of peace and quiet broods over the whole valley. Years ago the idea of converting the valley into a skating pond was conceived and a dam was built, traces of which still remain. But the deities of the stream, angered by such presumption rose in their might, to-re down the obstacle thus placed in their way and then settled down in the narrow channel as before. From this time on the brook has been left undisturbed. But last fall when the question of skating began to occupy otherwise unoccupied minds, seine venture- some one again cried: Let us build a. dam across Shaky Hollow and make a skating pond there. Many approved but the more thoiughtful shook their heads. 176 Why spend tune and nioney on Shaky Hollow? When the College is nioved to Mcliinloy Heights, Shaky Hollow will be a thing of the pastf' Shaky Hollow, a thing of the past! Yes, old Westminster with all her tradi- tions, is gone, and could we expect Shaky Hollow to outlive the others? With Greater Westinuister on the Heights, new buildings, new studenlts, new interests, who will care for Slinky Hollow? Perhaps then- some aged alumnus, returning to visit his Alina. Mater will view with admiration the new campus, the lake, the magnificent equipment ot the College. Then, there will sweep over hini a longing for Old Westniinster, his Westininster, and turn-ing to his guide he will say, Now take ine to dear old Shaky Hollow. Methinks I see the look of surprise, and hear the astonished voice. Shaky Hollow! Where is that? I never heard of it. Such will be its fate. But even oblivion is not the worst that threaten-s. Not long since the rumor was current that an enterprising inan was considering the advisability of a brick- yard in Shaky Hollow that he :night profit by the superior quality olf shale which abounds there. Think of it! Shaky Hollow, shorn of all its beauty, torn and disineinbered to increase the wealth of a money-inad nian. What an age is this! The beauty of Niagara tra,n-slorined into dollars, and a brick yard in Shaky Hollow. Ye gods of the streain and forest, forbid!

What a ivonclerful thing is college life.

The next day after we had feasted on the fatted puppies, I sprang astride my trusty pony and s-et sail for New Wilmington. Dad, as I said before, was a wise old scout and gave me the following advice, f'Now wash off your paint, Hiawatha, for no college man paints. There it is considered an etteminate and woinanly habit. With what paint you hawe left you may smear the sidewalks a.nd buildings about the townf' I-Ie gave me a lot more counsel anid some seventy odd dollars which looked good to muh, After a long tiresome ride I hit what they called Wilmington Junction. Here I sent back my pony, got on the so-called Sliarpsville accommoda.tion, though where the accommodation came in I fail to see, and before I had been on the thing an hour and a half I was longing for my trusty broncho. I struck the town after dark having been on the train since morning, but by my sacred forefatherts shadow it is a long three miles- on the Shiarpsville. I had time enough before morning to fit myself out so that I would not look too green. The next- nroirning after putting on an oldyfelt hat that had lain in the rain for a week, a. green sweater vest-a cross between a. horse-blanket and a louteheris jersey-decorated with policemen's buttons, a pair of eorduroys, and having walked in the mud to remove all traces of shine from my shoes, ,I passed the largest hotel in to-wn withofut attracting the attention of anyone save a traveling man. I knew tha.t I looked the part and was in right as a student. I just loafed around during the morning because all the seniors told ine it was no use registering the first day, for t-he faculty always changed the study schedule about six times in four days a.nyhow. Well, I got into a good eating club, at least that is what a.ll the fellows that were there said. They kn-ew, too, for I heard them say thin-gs about some of the other clubs and I knew that I was- lucky not to get in wrong. Well, that afternoon I went up to sec what they called foot-ball practice. There was a big long line of fellows down on all fours, then one fellow named Bugs McKay right back of them and three more fellows behind him. They had a funny shaped leather ball and Bugs stood up and commenced to add a sum of 182 figures. All the rest of the fellows were listening and I guess Bugs:' must have made a mistake, for the :fellow in the center of the line hit him with the ball and the rest made a rush at him and fell in a heap on the ball. Then a big fellow, the coach they said, made them all get up and a fellow named 'Tossuinn had the ball and everyone cheered and said, 'SI-Iurrali, that counts five points for Possum. There was a big fat guy in the line that everybody seemed to be making fun of and one fellow made up a piece of poetry that went something like this: Old King Cole was a merry old soul, but 'Puddin' had him skinned. Then there was another big fellow they called Kis. He seemed to be doing fine, too, but I don't know why they called him that for hardly anyone would want to kiss him. After f'Bugs had made another mistake and everyone had heaped up, I saw the cutest little fellow crawl out and begin to say things. His name was Happy,U but I guess he wasnit very happy from what he said about a lot of scrubs walking over a fellow. Ma.rks was the big chief, I suppose, for he saw an attacking party coming on and got the braves all ready. Then both teams got down on all fofurs and Bugs added up some more hgures and handed Marks the ball. I-Ie ducked out and ran about sixty yards with it before some other guy threw him down and tried to take the hall but he didn't get it. The next time 'fBugs handed it to Scott, but his name -ought to have been Scat,' the way he ,ran with the ball. Then a fellow named f'HerbJ' took the ball for what they call a touchdown and then everyone got tired. Heine Smith says, f'Let's quit, fellows, for I have sand in my eyes and can't see to pass the ball? So they quit and left the field. They told me they were getting ready for Grove City, but that could not have been- much of a place for no one seemed to be worried about the game. The fellows took me to a Y. M. C. A. social that evening and I tell you it was great. I had a fine time. They had a stunt for making people' acquainted that was grand. The President gave out a card which read something like this: My name is Q Hiawatha in this casej, what is yours Pt' I got fourteen fellows' names under mine and three girls, so you see I met a lot of people. It seemed funny though that all the people flocked together and began to pair off. I heard one fellow say that the cases were starting up again, though I hardly knew what it meant, for I never saw anything like that at home. Then one of our club boys came and told me to get next to a. maiden. It was then I met Minnie Ha Ha and asked her to be my Squaw. There was a fellow sitting alongside of her and I got the ha, hav when Minnie went out with the other fellow. But I am glad she did, for I met another gi-rl that is a dandy and I am going to go with her. After the social I was sitting in my room smoking when a couple o-f the boys came in and asked me if I wanted to meet some of the fellows. I said, usnref, Well, we went up to the ball-field where a big crowd had assembled a.nd I met all the fellows, though they were rather distant. In fact I didn't get in any closer contact with them than the length of a barrel stave. They wanted me to sing but I said I couldn't. Well, I changed my mind rather quickly and tried anyhow. Some of them wanted me to sing some more, but one fellow, the boss I guess, said, Oh my no, thatps enough. Since then I have been standing up most of the time so Pm not anxious t-o meet many more fellows at night but hope a lot will meet me next year. 183 I have been going to my classes regularly but the studies are hard for ine, though they dontt seein to bother the other fellows much. Guess they must be pretty bright. I was over at the Ladies: IIall Friday night to call on a girl. A lot of fellows were there before me, in fact even before prayers were over. They seemed to enjoy it from all appearances but I was very uncomfortable for a. while. Everyone was looking my way and talking about me. I guess everybody gets sea- sick the .lirst night but soon rec-overs. The next day there was a lot of excitement in town. Some boys took pity on three cows that had very cold stables and decided to put them in warmer quarters. Accordingly they stabled one in Chapel and the other two in recitation rooms and took off several doors so the cows coul-d get about easily. The fa.culty stirred up a bunch of trouble about that for they didn't see it in the same li.ght as the boys. I suppose the faculty was right, too, for the boys forced the poor dumb brutes to do what the fellows disliked to do themselves, namely, to go to chapel and school regularly. Anyhow, I guess the boys won7t do it again, for they see that it was not treating the cows right. Gee, I had a fine supper up at one of the fellowis rooms last night. Each one of us had a whole chicken to eat and a lot of other stuff too. I ate nearly all of mine. When I asked the fellows where they got so many chickens, one of the fellows said that his uncle kept a poultry farm. He is going to take me out so-me night to meet his uncle. Wonit that be out of sight! Maybe I can work a graft and get him to give me some, too, if he has any to spare. I attended the I'reslnnan-Junior banquet and .enjoyed myself immensely, only I came near not getting the girl I wanted un-til I found one of our fellows was on the assignment committee and he fixed it up all right. Gee, those banquets are a great thing, but I hate to sit at a table for three hours listening to seine guy, telling how good a fellow o-ld Alma. Mater is, a.nd how fine our ladies are and what a glorious union is the meeting of the two classes on a connnon banqueting ground. While we were sitting listening to the orchestra and speeches some uncultivated preps stole all our punch. I liked the dance part of the banquet and got along pretty well for a fellow who had only had a. couple of lessons and been to three dances in New Castle the week before. My ro-om was all torn up when I got home from the banquet. The fellows call it rough house, and mine did look pretty rough, I bought a cute little picture today. It says on it: Nobody loves me, I am going out into the garden to eat worms, yesterday I ate two smooth ones and one woolly one. I made up a Sonnet that runs something like this: I don't care whethe.r anyone loves ine just now or not. I ate a sardine sandwich, .a piece of lemon pie and a dish of ice cream and now I aim going out into the garden to dief' Gee, I wish the Big Chief would send me some wampum as I need it to pay for my cab at the banquet. I I guess thereis going to be a class hght one of these days. One of the seniors told our president that they would like ra. day off. I-Ie said if we freshies didn't put up a Hag, the seniors would for they were just aching to see a good scrap. I'm not feeling very well. so guess I wonft go out when it comes off. Well, it's nearly commencement time now and I will soon be a. Sophomore. Gee, I like this place 184 now after I have been here a year. Bet I ani one of the first ones back next year to help introduce the new fellows. Don.'t guess I will stay for coinmeneement, for they slay a lot of the old fellows are back then and take nearly all the nice girls. Then, I never did like a. big crowd, anyhow. I suppose Qltll pack up about tonight, but a fellow hates to leave this place even though there isnft much doing. The people are going to build. a line new college and inake it the best in this part of the state, so they say. I guess it's true, too, l'o-r our new President has most of the money now and all the land is bought. Gee, won't it be nice rooming in a. dormitory with no coal or water to carry and with electric lights and everything nice like that? We can take our meals right in the house. But then, look here! Hold en a niinutel I never thought about going to bed at a. certain time, staying in the house at night and several other inconveniences. I-Iowever, I guess I can stand it when our buildings, professors and ever-vthing else will be solfar above Washington X Jefferson, Alleglieny, Grove t'ity and all those punk colleges, that they will turn green with envy every time they hear the name of Westminster, and when every Westminster student will swell with pride as he says, f:Yes, I ani from Westminster, the finest school infPennsylvaniaff I guess this is about the end of my Freshnian year. Maybe Ifll write you a history of my Sophomore year if I don 't get too dilatorj' by that time. Yours truly, Hiawatha. KNI5G.77, 'OG.

I starts walkin' up deir Broadway ter rubber at de sights. After hittint de pike fer a few rninites, I Ends nieself a walkin' in a big yard w'ere der wuz a lot uv trees an, bildin's. Dere wuz a gang uv fellers a loahn' on de pavement an, I butted in an, I says, 'tSa. wot is ua? Hain-an'-eg0'0ree knowledffe 'oint 'uv' er saint's rest ? J LD J C 7 CP Wihat? says one uv de fellers.

So I hung ineself up on a back seat wid a. bunch uv fellers an' waited fer de show ter open up. Pritty soon everybody begin ter stretch deir rubbers toward de back, an' I follered suit. De gang dat wuz it'7 fer dat night wuz hittin, de trail lookin' like dey wuz goin' ter deir own fun'i'al. De goils wuz all fussed up in deir fuzzy-wuzzies any had so niany uv dese niarcoil waves in deir hair dat it inos' niade yer seasiek, ant de guys wuz in nifty black suits and Piekadilly ehokers.

Dey tuk deir seats on de stage wid faces lookin, 'bout ez joyful ez Sheeny dummies. Den de high niueky-niuek uv de head squeezes niosied out ter de front uv der stage an' speiled fer a. bit an' we uns knocked our forlicads against de back uv de seat in front. Dis agony over, a daisy bunch of skoirts kangarooed up ter der piano, ant say-talk about .Paderusky-if she didn't have hiin skinned forty ways, I'll be blowed. De way she did claw dose ivories wuz wort good money. I never see ai key- slapper so good ez her before, fer sur. 190 After she had let up, de boss got up agin an' announced dat dere would be an oration by one uv de guys. Dis feller inosied up to de front an' after gaspin' fer awhile like he wuz a ish an' had jist bin cot, he began his speil. An' say, from de big woirds dat he let loose, it looked like he'd swallered a hull Carnegie library. W'y fruin de ainount of hot air he got off yer'd tink he wuz hired ter heat de hull buildin' an' den if dat wuzn't jist about all we could stand fer, he trowed his mitts round like he was tryin' ter swim an' eoulden't. Wen he wuz tru wid his agony, he sit down lookin' sif he wuz feelin' better after gittin' all dose awful tings woiked outen his systiin. De next up wuz a goil wot looked like Muriel Mainwaring in fDe Faded Wed- din' Wreath wot wuz at de the-a-tre last inont. My but wuzn't she a boid, dough! She sure did look good ter muh. Well, her turn wuz just as sweet as she looked, only orfully soft, too, a lot of inushy-rnush about de tootsie-ootsie boirdies an' de beautyful flowers an' sich like. Anyhow, we didn't suffer so orful inuch consider- in', fer yer could kinder fergit de slushy rot she wuz speilin' wen yer fixed yer peepers on 'er face. She wuz all dere wid de goods w'en it coines ter looks, all right, all right, an' don't yer fergit ut, Mugsy. An' say, dat helps a bloornin' lot, don't ut? Well, dis fairy floated back ter de bench an' after suin more ivory clawin', we 'ad another oration fruin a sure-ting gent. My, but he could chew de rag de easiest ever, an' he used his niitts dat graceful! Wy he wurked jist ez easy ez Kid Brady wen he tinks he's struk easy money in de ring. I ain't never been strong fer eddication, but I cert cud git nex' ter de game he wuz puttin'up, right away quick. After me peepers got sort uv heavy an' de nex' ting I knowed de feller wot 'ad spoke ter nie outside wuz a wakin' me up an' dc hull gang wuz inakin' deinselves scarce, so it wuz skidoo, 23, fur inuh. Well, Mugsy, inebbe college is it all right, all right, but de show dat dey put up dat night wuzn't in it fer a ininit wid Yurs Truly Skinny Dooley.

Before our entrance examinations we weighed more than Ffh tons. Afterwards we tipped the beam at-somewhat less. During our Sophomore year we were relieved of S1435 by the Town Council of New Wilmington. The faculty also reliered ns of a score of our class. Seventy-five per cent of our class have dark hair. .Those UV61'WO1'liQLl. are getting. gray-McKay and Brown for example. Niiiety-tive per cent of our class use the noxious weed. lMeCrory is the most faithful worshipper at the shrine of King Nick O. Teen. Two members of our class, have served time for larceny-Galbreath and Hen- derson. -- A Two members of.'0'? expect to be sign painters-Patterson and Reno. Four-fifths of the girls intend to take a Yoya-ge on the sea of 11121i1'l1D01'l'Y imme- diately after graduation, including Misses Phillips, Montgomery, Donaldson, Newell and McAuley.

' Wilson Reed will conduct a cigar store opposite The Hillside. 194 We Wonder Why fi' A Jack Smith and Aehesou take turns visiting the Groundis Club? It took F elnieth so long to decide? Cleland doesn't get niarried? Snipe doesnit get a girl? Happy Orr takes Cheniistry? MeCrory wears hairpins? Hankey doesn't stop dissipating? Bill Donaldson got only one side of his facie frozen on the Soph sleigh ride? Elliott got yellow paint on his trousers? Sann Cunningham doesn't take the Keeley Cure? Seine of the Faculty don't observe the Honor System? , The Faculty didn't come home from the Alumni banquet on the iirst train? Robbie put up signs on the Campus? MeBane' doesn't get his hair eut? . Milholland stays until after lights go out on Friday night? Miss W. and Miss Melf. must iron their shirtwaists after having visitors from Pittsburg? . Miss M. Wears a diainond ring? Miss MCM. doesn't wear a solitaire? Sands Writes to Pittsburg six tiines a week? Bailey blushes when' you speak of Miss D? The basket-ball team only won seven games? . Buck Ewing doesn't go to church? They eouldn't get a president for the Y. M. C. A. out of the Junior class? J oe Kelso talks so much?

THE MUJICAL DEPARTMENT A great forward movement has been made in the depart- ment of Music. Under the masterly leadership of Professor William Wilson Campbell, the foundation is being laid for a great Musical Conservatory. The equipment of the depart- ment is entirely new, three Steinway Grand pianos and four- teen Kurtzmann Upright pianos have been secured during the present year. A high grade pipe organ will be placed in the Chapel during the summer vacation, thus affording opportunity for study in this branch of music to future students. THE PREPARA TOR Y DEPARTMENT A Preparatory Department is conducted in connection with the College, furnishing preparation for entrance into any of the prescribed courses. With the progress of College growth the present plant will be devoted wholly to the preparatory work, new buildings on McKinley Heights constituting the College location. The ultimate aim is a preparatory school furnishing preparation for any college of the student's choice, and pro- vided with dormitory equipment. THE GIRLJ' DORMITOR Y The Hillside, a dormitory for girls, has been enlarged and beautified during the past year, so that in beauty and con- venience it is now unsurpassed by buildings of its kind. THE CDLLEGE YEA R The College Year of 1907-8 will open September 18th at 2:00 o'clock P. M. Entrance examinations Monday and Tues- day, September 16th and 17th.
