The difficulties that loomed up before us looked al- most unsurmountable. The chief of these was the high standard of excellence attained in the former editions. VVe realized, too, that the demands on our time would be increased. The financial obli- gations of the project have been disconcerting to classes more num- erous and less timid. But we have worked in haste to repent at leisure. and this volume is the result of our efforts. lt has been our aim to portray the undergraduate life of our college, and to recall to our Alumni the memories of happy, by-gone days. XYQ may have given some things undue importance. VVe may have left out some things that we should have mentioned. WVe have sought. however. to make this volume representative, and to do so, ive have called on and received aid from those connected with the different departments. For this aid we are very grateful. Our felloxv students may hnd that we have had a little fun at their expense. but we did it only to enliven these pages. Wfe have tried tu hit. but malice never lent force to the stroke. i Our work is hnished. XYe ask you to deal gently with the mis- takes and forbear from harsh criticism-. 'We hope that in some way we mav have aroused in the hearts of students, Alumni, and friends a deeper love for Old Vifestminster. T1-IE EDi'roRs. 7 N .

Entering I found UWYSCH in the presence of an elderly gentleman seated at his desk.. As I entered, he glanced up from his book, which he had been reading, and I said: i'Good morning, Doctor, am glad to see youf' Arising from h1S chair. he extended to me his hand and said, I-Iow do you do, Mr. I-I., I did not recognize you at first.

Leaving the office I soon found myself on the third floor of the main college building and there I spied the stairs leading to the bel- fry. At once a desire seized me to have a view of the old town, and I mounted the stairs. NfVhile standing in the belfry admiring the beauty of the little city, for it was no longer the quiet old town of New XYilmington, the bell began to swing to and fro and I was startled by the following inquiry from the old bell, which I had heard many years before, A stranger, I suppose ?

CHAPTER I. i September 16, 1906, was the memorable day when the upper- classmen First showed us about this beautiful city, secured boarding and lodging for us, and finally took 'us around to hear Dr. Russellls first famous chapel talk. The members of the class ,of 'oo received us from a distance and with much fear and trembling as they real- ized our numbers and ability. A few days later the class met for organization, in order to de- stroy peace and to ruin the general welfaref, if pos-sible. But t-he faculty had anticipated our plans and sent Dr. Campbell with a man- date prohibiting class Hags, etc. After a livelv session of three hours we conceded the wisdom of the faculty out of shee-r respect tor llr. Campbell and adjourned when our organization had been completed. .X word might be added here, about the personnel of the class as it met that day.

XYhen we re-organized in the fall of '07 we found -our ranks much depleted. The spirit. however. which had characterized us during the preceding year was in evidence, and we immediately set about doing things. Ifirst we got a bunch of freshies badly scared and chased them around the running track before a large crowd of people. who called the performance a relay race. 'Later we allowed them to beat us in football as we preferred to wait until we were Juniors to win the SCl1tnrl championship.

She is quite fond of studying, too, and takes especial delight UD in such subjects as Chem- ' istry and Algebra. Louise's father was formerly a minister and this may account for her great love for -the study of the Bible, but it does not settle the mystery wfhy she is so partial to Paul's life and travels.

She has not left any phase olf- college life undone-not even the co-educational fea- ture, for she succeeded in capturing the heart of the most bashful young man in school for a while. During her career in old WCSt111l11StC1' she has won many friends both among her felloxv students and in the faculty. 51 NANCY IRENE THOMPSON, NEW VVILMINGTON, PA. Lc'ag01'ea11, 'l'0it'11. Irene has only been a member of the illus- trious class of '10 since the spring of '08. We are very glad, nevertheless, to Welcome into our midst, this dark-eyed maiden who will do her part in furthering good in the world. She 'nts her whole self into everything that she undertakes. and is never satished un-til she has gained perfect results for her endeavors. She is an earnest. worker, both in the class room and in the society hall. There are other things, however, which Irene can do besides study. She is a good housekeeper and cook, and above all, an excellent bread and cake baker. Gcca- sionally Irene has her individual moods, but usually this quiet, cheerful girl fulfills the meaning of her name which is peace, Rl.-XRY li'l'lll2l, XV.-X'l l', BEN AVON, PA.

After completing her High School course. she decided to enter lhfestminister and came hither in the fall of 1906. entering as 21 Freshman. It has been reported that Ethel was always a man hater, going a block out of her way to avoid meeting a man. This held true during her first year here, but when a et-riqnn l'llZlll'S son Olansonl appeared she yielded, Xmr she may be seen almost any h-our of the day enjoying the co-educational advan- tages afforded here.

New XVILMINGTON, PA. .-lldclplzzlj, Keystone Club. Since we began our existence as a class in the Fall of 1906, Splin-ters has been with us longer than any o-ther member of the class. He had his origin in the farming district north of town, and being a very mischievous young fellow, his mother kept him in bed much of the time. Thus he became quite tall. Previous to entering college he gained some experience as a country school teacher, but desiring to equip himself for something more noble he de- cided to direct his energies along scientific lines. Unless he should be providentially hin- dered we lhope to hear of him some day as a noted M. D. He is, however, quite popular with the ladies, so much so in fact, that when you see his head .ab-ove the crowd you can never tell just who is at his side. if filieaofa i 8, filfecxe , C5558 fe iw . ., . ... .,,, - , L . . ,,-- DA.-,,5+.fg 1 D s: -Y 2 . 1, 1- .,.-,- g-it you-.I a,i ,M- ve ,- -re pp- ff-- gy --- ,:- f- -1 5 FA '- - - - F. --. ,,-'f.-Q . n ' .4 4 N - xg '- -. -1 .D D Q ' ' , . if-5 U- - -, -.-S W- ' 54 7 R.

Now as she gazed at the picture and then into the fire, she forgot the worries of the day's teaching. and once again was a lfreslunan entering college. She remembered how after an initial trip on the Sharpsville that morning in September, the new students had at length found ii'lC'Il'lSL'lX'L'S in the midst uf a turmoil of registration. How strange everything had seemed in those first days! The old people were tfironging the halls greeting each other as long lost friendsg but in tfieir midst. walked the Freshman lonely, and with a great deal of :Tie elation he had first felt on his arrival. departing as a result of registration. homesickness, and the general feeling of newness. But t'1is down-heartedness soon passed away when the rush of signing up was over. and he realized that the class of IQII was the largest Freshman class that had ever entered the college. Then had followed strenuous days. Bubbling over with class spirit as every Freshman class should be, the members of the class of IOII had been quick to defend their standard when it was raised on the athletic field. and had the distinction of being participants in the last flag-rush winked at by the faculty. Soon the annual relay race came. The Sophomores had good men on the track but with a Freshman combination of 'Bob Rus- sell, sl. R. and W'alter Clark. Moore, Martin, Sands, Finney, and Richards opposing them. they had to yield the palm to the Fresh- men. lluring the football season, the Freshman class had been repre- sented on the Varsity by Cole and Richards. In class football they had won the championship of the college and the school. ma'am smiled as she thought of those freezing winter days when WV1tli other girls. she had stoorl on the sidelines with green and white ribbons flvinff vit-iorionslv in the breezes. I-low proud they had been when the pigskin had been carried swiftly down the field to their goal! In order to express this pride, the Freshmen had reversed the lusgal rirrlq-r mi things. and had posted the town with rules by W 1161 16 Sr'fpl1nfi1u1'Qs, slmulrl g'rmvCl'n themselves. 57 -Ns the winter advanced. the excitementiof class life somewhat 7 calmed down until banquet time came and then every Freshman s attention was held by the prospect of his first banquet. That winter. for the first time. these annual social functions had taken place at The Hillside. There, in the spacious dinillg room Whose natural beauty had been enhanced by decorations, mostly of green and white. the Iuniors entertained their proteges lavishly. During the banquet. toasts had been given and the class presidents had en- gaged in a friendly lf- ?fl exchange of compliments. .-Xfter the banquets, time flew swiftly and soon Commencement week had arrived. Class night came bringing witih it a new feeling uf importance to the lireshmen as their class president received the red and black colors of the departing Seniors and IQII cast off for- ever the green and white of their Freshmen days. VVhen the last of the week came and the round of festivities was drawing to a close. the Freshman had experienced both the sadness and the joy uf Commencement time: sadness caused by the departure of those whose colors he now held, and joy mingled somewhat wit'h uncertainty, as he dreamt of his future Sophomore dignity. XYhen they had re-entered school in the fall of IQO8, the class of IQII had been the largest Sophomore class in the history of West- minster. lireshman pranks were left to the bearers of the green and white and the Sophomores settled down to work. Chemistry, Biology. English. History, and other branches kept them busy. How they had read in the library and worried over whether Hamlet was mad or not! The school Il121,3.fH remembered Beany's long dis- cussions and glanced at the picture. No, he wasn't the-re. Cf course not! And she smiled at her forgetfulness. U .l lowever. in spite of hard work, the class spirit of IQII had not dimnnslted but had merely been turned into more paying channels. l his tact the Freshmen discovered when the traditional Sophomore instructions to the l7reshies were posted and the Sophomore Uutlawsn received even the attention of local officials. The Relay race came again and once more the 1911 track men brought victory to their class. The Sophomores had been repre- sented on the Yarsity football team that year although having no Wu men. True. they had lost in the class football game witli the I-'reshmen but the score had only been 6:0 and the .IQI2 team had the advantage ut greater weight.

If I must, at times, speak of our su- periority it is truth. lf we feel bound to exult in our achievements which have 'embarrassed the vain Sophs-again remember it is the truth. 3 The week of September 15, 1908, was a memorable period in the annals of Wfestminster College, f-or that was the date when it was taken possession of by its natural owners, the ones -for whom it was founded, those predestined intellectual and athletic stars-the al- ready illustrious class of 1912. We quickly adjusted ourselves to existing affairs and it is affirmed that in two weeks we lost that ver- dant expression and general air of not knowing things, which it usually takes new students at least a semester to lose. ' NVe lost no time in -arranging for the annual inte-r-class affair, the Hag-rush. The result of the rush? Sufhceit to say we found it wise to stick close to the rules laid down by the 'fpowers that be, and at noon of that momentous day in late September, o-ur green and white pennant was tenderly resting - we hope - in the care of Dr. Russellg but not, mind you, in the hands of the disappointed Sophs. displav Ofbthgir P H 1 IS gure our beautiful little village with a - Sma 5750014 of knowledge.

Everything, however, depends on the care the Professors and others take of us while we are yet young. The assignment o-f hard tasks will be sure to stunt the promising growth that we are now enjoying. Our earnest request is that all will bear this last state- ment in mind. so that when we, at last, leave these classic walls, we will still be as strong and healthy as when we entered the green and promising state of Prepdom. ' H. C., '2o. 69 CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC N- N '1 The College of Music 1i?1. That department of the College, now known as the VVestmin- ster tollegen of Music, was established in 1886 in what was then called The L'onservat.ory of Music and Ladies' Hall. The inaugura- tion of the present ad-ministration in the fall of IQO6 brought to this department a complete change, both in environment and in the per- sonnel of the teaching force. The equipment of the College of Music is second to none in this part of the country. The present building has been occupied a little more than a year, and has all the modern conveniences and im- provements - steam heat, electric lights, and private telephone ser- vice with connection to any point in or out of the town. No detail which will in any way add to the convenience and practical utility of the building has been omitted. In addition to the piano and organ practice rooms. there are on the first Hoor the director'5 re- ception room, studio. and office. secretary's office, students' recep- tion room. reading room. and recital hall with a seating capacity of one hundred and twenty. while on the second Hoor are the harmony and composition room. library. and four studios. There are in use at present twenty-eight pianos. more being added from time to time. as the increasing enrollment demands. Kurtzmann pianos are used in all the Vractice rooms, Steinway and Mehlin Grands in the studios. No instrument is retained in the conservatory after it be- comes the least impaired in tone or action, and never for a perio-d of more than three years. The department owns 21-'El1I'CC-1T13.11L13.l pipe-organ and a two-manual organ with pedal attachments, which is used for mractice. The lldarcl of Trustees was fortunate in securing,'as the head of the department. one whose success in building up similar institu- tions had been marked. Professor Wfilliam Wfilson Campbell came from Trinitv L'niversitv. Texas. bringing with him not only his chief assistant. but a number of students from that University. Mr. Campbell stands high in his profession, both as a musician and as an educator. Not content with present attainments, he 1S continu- allv reaching out for higher and better things, andin the -falloof IQQS was given leave of absence that he might. pursue his SlllCl1CS in Paris with lean de Reszlce. . Miss Nona Yantis. the first assistant in pianoforte, has been as- sociated in teaching with Mr. Campbell for a number of years. She has iust rcceiitlv returned from Europe, where for 'some C1g l1jECC1'1 months she hadbeen studying at Ischl and Vienna with Leschetizky and his Yorbereiters. Among her earlier teachers are Von Gf21lD61', l.iebling. and hlosepphy. so that Miss Yantis IS exceedingly Well prepared for her position. D I Eflwgn-fl French Hearn, the second assistant, was graduated frfpm XYCSfl11l1lSlCl' in lune. IQO7, and wgg immediately engaged as 3 member of tihc faculty. He is a piamst of unusual attainments, . , ' - ' C- possessinff a remarkable technique and rare abilities as an interpr ter. llc eduallv f'u cessful as a teacher. lJ1'i11Q'lU3' to MS Work that 71 interest and enthusiasm which are necessary qualifications of the successful teacher. D . During the absence of Director Campbell, Miss Mona Downs has been tin charge of the vocal work of the department.. Miss Downs is a daughter of the late Morse S. Downs, the eminent con- ductor, musician, and composer, and from him she received her training in oratorio. Much of her musical training she received abroad, having studied with the best Paris masters, among them being Bouhy,fthe noted voice builder and opera coach, The course of study has been planned on the broadest lines. Sight-singing, harmony, musical history, and modern languages constitute a part of the curriculum of every student of music so that the graduates of the Westininster College of Music are thoroughly prepared for any line of the work they may wish to take up. The college authorities, recognizing the educational value of music, have made liberal provision for it among the electives. Credit is given, not only for the main subject, but for any work done in the department. As a result there has been a noticeable in- crease in the number of students enrolled in the various classes of the conservatory. In order to stimulate all that is highest and best in the art, and to develop in the mind of the student the power to appreciate and understand good music, those in charge arrange-each year for the coming to the college commun-ity of artists of renown. During the past year, a most interesting lecture recital on Dance Forms was given by Mme. Sturkow-Ryder, the famous Russian pianist, a violin recital by Sol Marcosson, the celebrated violin virtuoso, assisted by Mrs. Sol Marcosson, pianist, and a piano recital by Miss Mary Ray Ure of Pittsburg, a pupil of Leschetizky. ' , Mention should also be made of the- faculty recital and of the students' recitals which have been given at intervals throughout the year. ln the early sfvring, the chorus class. under the direction of Miss Downs, presented The Messiah, the solo numbers being taken by members of the chorus. At no time in the past have the prospects of the College of Music been so bright. Wfith its generous equipment, comprehen- sive curriculum, and strong faculty of men and women of broad education and liberal ideas, it affords the music student unsurpassed facilities for study and the best instruction that can be obtained. ltspast attainments are but an earnestof what the future will bring o 1 . 72 ' 1 T 1 1 Il 3 M .. 1 xi 1 l ll l x l l 3 Z 'S l 4 E x 5. ll l .s i ,Q V l ,.

YQDT I The Messiah Concert . . March the thirteenth will be pleasantly remembered by our town and college world. It marked the inauguration in our midst of the oratorio as a musical form. On this date there were given in the Chapel by the Chorus Class selections from the. Messiah of Handel. -Miss Mona Downs, who has had charge of the vocal de- partment of the College of Music, was conductor. A splendid audi- ence greeted Miss Downs and her pupils as they appeared in sur- plices. The selections were well chosen andrendered in a most commendable manner.. Quietly and with feeling the different pas- sages were voiced by soloists and chorus. There was n-o hurry o-r jar upon the sacredness of the theme. XfVhen the brighter passages were reached there was real spirit and animation. Bo-th in the joy- ous passages and in the tender the audience seem-ed tow be in close-st sympathy. The stage was tastefully decorated in green together with white lillies. U The music loving people of both town and college are greatly indebted to Miss Downs for this beautiful rendition of sacred music. The following took solo parts: Misses Henderson, Stuart, Neel, and Doyle. Messrs. BZIIY, and Cleland. Mr. Hearn, of the musical fac- ulty, accompanied the Chorus. 74 nr . l l 'D l 4 I 0 l 5 E 4 l. iw 'F I J F' l l l l wif r I f F I 1' 1' L 'sf 1 HT -at Art at - The Art Department has been under the guidance this ear f a new instructor. Miss Lucie M.

Indeed, Miss Manleyhas already won the confidence and love of all her students, -and has proved hergelf 3 talented artist and an efficient instructor. The department 15 better equipped this year for successful work than ever before. A number of new casts and some new st-ill-life: material have been secured, which enable the students to work to a muchgreater advantage, An exhibition was given at the end of the first semester in the Art studio, at which all the work of the students durinigifthei semes- ter was displayed. The walls were covered with pen and ink sketch- ings, charcoal and crayon drawings, and water ,colors of various kinds. They were all very creditable to bo-th students and teacher. The large display of hand-painted china was especially' attractive and praiseworthy. A similar exhibition will be held at the close of the second semester, during Commencement we-ek. - Art has recently been made an elective in the college curricu- lum, so that students who do not expect to make a ,specialty of art may have an opportunity to take some of it along with their regular college course. Several of the Senior girls have been giving some time to it every year since it has been offered as an elective. An- other advantage which has recently been given to this department is, that all students registered in it are admittedto the class in His- tory of Art, taught by Professor Barr, and embracing the study of architecture, sculpture, and painting, as well as the lives o-f the old masters. , The students of this department, along with the .inst1'L1C'fOf, have for a few years been taking an annual trip to f'1ttSbL11'g, 'EO spend -the day viewing -the art exhibit in the Carnegie Library- The trip is anticipated again this year with unusual enthusiasm. ' W7hen we think of the increasing importance of art in the mod- ern world, its educational value, and itS POWC1' to Qbfoaiden- and beautify life and when we consider the fine o-pp0f'fU111'fY Pfeeented by the College for its- systematic study, it is, i1ideed,.SH1'.PfiSiU5Z that i ' tudies. so few of our students have elected it.

Indeed our etc ' 1 , , , pectations along this line have been more than realized. ' A XV e knew that students' felt the need off systematic training' ini expression, and we expected soime, at least, to avail themselves of opportunity for work, should such be offeredg but we were notpre- pared for the general and eager response, both on the part gf those seeking class work, and others desiring private or individual in- struction. ' Vfith three pupils registered for private work ,in the fall gf 1907, the number grew to seven, then to te-n, and fmallyto twenty- five by the end of the yearg at which time the Seniors, desiring to depart somewhat from the traditional Class day exercises-, decided upon a Class Night instead, presenting two, one-act comedies, en! titled A Proposal Under Difficulties, and Frank Glynn's W.ife.5? These comedies were witnessed by an audience that filled the Sec- ond Church to overflowing, and who were lavish in their praise of the clever work done by the performers. . Wfith the opening of the Fall term, 1908, there was a decided increase in registration, in th-is department, and the numbers have grown steadily, until at the present time about forty-five pupils have been engaged in this work during the year, either in classes of three or four, or coming privately twice, and in some cases, three times a weekg and all this in addition to the required class work done by the Sophomores, preparatory to giving their junior Ora- tions in the fall. On january twenty-second of this present year, the Senior class, desiring to swell the amount in their treasury, gave a delight- ful evening of comedy in the College Chapel, fifteen of themappear- ing in the two plays, VVho's VVho? and A Caseof Suspension. The success of these plays was such, that there was a' demand for their reproduction the following week,'at which time they .were given even better than at first, and before an equally appreciative audience. , .' During the past two years 'the students -of expression haye HI?- peared from time to time in public recitals, the numbers oifferedgin eve-ry case, being among the choicest selecti-ons to be fo-und i-n English poetry and prose. Un such occasions as these, the Studenffs are Sid? jected to a very severe test of their ability to hold the attention of 1Zi1'C11' . . V - ' . 'E audience upon the word pictures they are palnlllngi and at the Same Ima 79 a t to enter into a si mpathet.1c understanding of the authors purpose The success of these recitals has proved the value of class-room Thru the efforts of this department also the entire student.- training bod has had opportunity during the past year to hear two master Y interpreters of literature' Mr VValter Bradley Tripp 111 his immitg able reading of Martin Chuzzlewit, and Henry Lawrence South- wick, President of Emerson College of Oratory, Boston, who gave us an almost faultless rendering of Hamlet I In the same connection we would not forget that, delightful enef tertainer, Katharine Ridgeway, who 'appeared under the auspices of the lecture course, and Mrs. Katharine Oliver McCoy, whose visit was made possible thru Miss, Pratt, and who presented to us, in a wonderfully sympathetic way, Dr. Luke of the Labrador. All these have bro-ught to us new and higher ideals, and taught us, afresh, the tremendous power of the spoken word. Believing, as we do that the word shouldbe the echo of the soul within, Let us seek for that blessing 1' Which neler can depart. ' 1 The charm of expression That springs from the heart. - L ' E. L.

Its staff is chosen each February by the faculty, and is given entire charge of the paper. A ' I A The history of the Holcad dates back to the year of 1884 when it was founded as a semi-mon.thly, the June issue of that year' be- ing the hrst to appear. It continued to be issued asa- semi-monthly until September, 1887, when it was decided to change it to a monthly, believing that an enlarged and improved- paperwould re- sult. Since that time it hastseen its ups anddowns 3 but, .fo-r the most part, has been kept up to a literary standard' -of which the staffs can justly be proud. 1 A The primary aim of The Holcad is to furnish ameans for-the expressions of student thought and ideas. It is the students' paper, theirs to support in bot'h at financial and lite-rary way. ,Thru its columns the college life is presented t-o the Faculty, the Board, and the Alumni from the stand-point -of the student. It acts as an interpreter or media- tor, keeping 'the student-body and the -aid-minfistrati-on in touc-h with each other. And it is only in proportion to the distinctness with which this aim is kepttin mind, andto the interest which student and faculty take in it, that it will occupy its proper place in college life. Subordinate to this primary aim, but what is certainly worthy of our notice, is the stimulation it gives to l.iterary effort and the drill afforded those who edit it. lt has in our college life an important place to fill, in develop- ing and stimulating literary talent, in moulding the public opinion of the studentgbodyg and in the capacity of an rhanmonizing' agency among the Faculty, Alumni, and Students.- The Editorial Staffv for year ending February, Iooo was as follows: Gwfsf T-Ong, ,GQ .Editor-in-Chief XV.

The Westminster Lecture Association ,111- Of the many and various student organizations at VVestm1nster, one of the strongest and most firmly established is the Lecture As- sociation. Each year the Association presents to the public a series ' ' ' l ' d of lectures, concerts. and literary entertainments of such higi gra e that thru its own merits the Wfestminster Lecture Course has gained a large and assured patronage. This patronage not only em- braces the students of the College butincludes the citizens oi the village and of the surrounding community. . . . . . . - . . . - h - d The Association is a Joint organization of the Philomat an Adelphic Literary Societies and consists of a committee oi four ap- pointed from their number, which committee has full control of the Course. This committee is made up of a junior and Senior from each Societv. each member being appointed in his junior year and serving two years. The Officers consist oi a Chairman and a Treas- urer. These honors pass alternately from -one Society to the other. The aim of the organization is to bring into the College life and into the community the best lecturers, concerts, and interpreters of literature obtainable. Wfith this end in view there have been pre- sented on the Course such great lecturers as Col. VV. Bain, Gov. Hanley. Dr. A. A. Wfillits, Geo. R. Stuart, Newell Dwight Hillis, and Dr. D. F. Foxg such musical companies as the New York Grand' Concert Company, The Schildkret Hungarian Orchestra, The Chi- cago Glee Club, and the Bostonia Ladies' Orchestra, such interpre- ters of literature as Leland Powers, Father Vaughan, and Katharine Ridgeway. The Association believes that the presentation of such great attractions on its Course is a part oi the great' work of higher education. and that the contact with such great men and the hear- ing of the truths they utter is conducive to- a better and a nobler cit-- izenship. That the XVestminster Lecture Course is a permanent feature of College life is an assured tact. Its cessation would leave a large- gap in the intellectual and moral -not to mention the social - en-- joyment and advancement of each student's College career The 25 . past and future benefits to the students and to the community from the upholding beiore them of high ideals thru this channelrcannot he estimated. U C 86 COMMITTEE R.. Houston R. M. Gillcey D. C. Hankey J. 87 C. Young Westminster's Honor System A topic much discussed' ofclate in educational magazines and college journals, is the so-called Honor System. This system has I:-een tried with great success in :many colleges and universities, and from this we argue that VVestm1nster canhave a successful Honor System. I , H . H Everyone will acknowledge the r6HjafkHb1C.pfCV211CUCC Of H1111- mingn among college stu-dents, a condition which menaces our in- stitutions, and renders impossible of attainment the very object of higher education. The fault lies with the students as also does the remedy. The Honor System, as -instituted in Westminster, re- sorts to this method o-f reform, and was adopted by the entire stu- dent-body in concerted 'act-ion. In this system any attempt to cheat in examination is considered an act of dishonor, and the -offender is dealt with as his contemptible deed merits. ' The penalty varies, and he may be dropped from the class, suspended from school, or even expelled from College. This lies who-lly in the hands of the Honor Council. The strength of this system consists in its execution by the en- tire student-body. The Council is composed ofa student comm-ittee of six, elected from the four Collegiate Classes, 'two from 'the Senior, two from the Junior, one from the Sopho-more, and one from the Freshman. This committee on detecting any offense, tries the offender, and, being convinced of his guilt, quietly informs him of his sentence. r This form of student government has been found more effective thanany law or penalty imposed, by the faculty. It enforces a true test of scholarship because unider this method, the student must stand or fall according to his merits. It strengthens the already honest student, and compels reform in the dishonest one. Ttineces- sitates the abandonment of all suspicion' between professor and student. and brings about a more frank and cordial relation between them. Thus, by influencing for good fthe character of the individual student, by str-engthening th-e student-bo-dy, an-d' by harmonizing the faculty and students, we can say that the Honor Systeml' pro- motes the best interests of VVestminster in examinations. To some our Honor System may seem a farce. Vlfhy? Simply because it IS an Honor System. Cf course any student taking an examination .under this! system can cheat. if he does not have re- spect for his inner and better self. Vlfe all know that unfairness and clis-honesty have .been weakening the character of our students. and Qtgeiglkiigllre 931603 of our College. Now, when the old W.estmin- Bur Qtuden?

By no means the least of the many activitiesigconducted by the UT-C11 of WCStm1nster College is the Young Men's Christian Associa- t1-orn. The Association work in general ig 50 Wg-311 kn0Wn that it 11CCdS U0 C.XPl311H.'E1On to the average reader, but the work of the col- lege association is, in a measure, unique. To one acquainted with the worklngs -of a city Y. M. C. A., the name invariably suggests the.gymnas1um and evening classes. But in the College, the gym- nasium 1S controlled' by the Athletic association, the educational work is taken care of by the faculty, and thug there would Seem to be no real need of such an organization. The VVestminster Asso- ciation, however, seeks to fill other needs that are as real as those sup-p-lied by th-e gym an-d the class-room. . Une of the most helpful features of the work is the hand of fellowship extended to the new student by the Association's repre- sentative on the opening days of school. Y. M. C. A. men are on the ground several days in advance of the term opening. A list of available rooms is o-btained, the new men are met as they leave the trains, and are soon comfortably' settled. The timorous Prep, O-1' Freshman, who is leaving home for the first time, will readily vouch for the advantage of this reception over the one formerly extended to new men, when every strange face disclosed an expectant hazer. The Association Bible study is another activity that merits at-- tention. These classes are in a class by themselves, and occupy a position that cannot be filled by either the curriculum Bible study or the Sabbath School. The value of Bible- study in itself as a pre- paration for all vocations is so obvious that it is universally en- dorsed by leading educators .and professional men. The Associa- tion groups, however, aim to do more than merely acquire facts from this greatest of all books. The classesare conducted in groups of from five to twenty men, led by one -of the students. The leaders in turn meet in a normal class conducted by a member of thekfac- ulty, where the gist of the week's work is sifted out. The classes then meet and discuss the les-sons assigned and their relation to the lives of the individuals. In these groups men draw very closeto each other and to God. The inner and real life of the men is here revealed as nowhere else, and the warmest asso-ciations and closest friendships are here formed, . For the year IQO8-709 six groups are 'formed with an enrollment of sixty men, and the life of Christ is being studied. The morning watch for the daily study is the ideal aimed at for every member of the classes. ' Mission study classes are also conducted in much the same 91 A4 LM TZ., H..- .QI E,,.. ..' . Q . .,.-x,.-......... - ..........- . , I WL manner. The college associations were the advance agents of the great mission study movement that is spreading all over the church and that bids fair to become the most influential agent in this gen- eration for advancing the kingdom of Christ. Qur Association has always been well to the fore in this movement, and the classes are well organized. Six classes are organized in connection with those of the Y. XV. C. A. These are engaged in the study of both home and foreign missions. The classes serve to keep alive the spirit of missions-the interest in the cause that lies nearest the heart of jesus Christ. The task of training leaders for the different activities of the Association is accomplished mainly by two methods. The state and national associations keep the school organizations in touch with each other and with the general -movement by sending out paid sec- retaries. Most of the training, however, is accomplished at the summer conferences. Here picked men from different colleges and universities all over the country, meet for ten days at the close 'of school and' get near to God. Experts and leaders in all lin--es of Christian work train men for service in their own institutions. Here also is revealed the best, .most 'healthful and most attractive phase of the Christian life. It seems nearest like the method of jesus him- self for training His followersfor service, and the results are often astounding. The physical side is looked after as well as the spirit- ual, and an all around helpful fellowship is the result. Th-e br-o-ad outlook, so essential to a well balanced training, is received here from the contact with men of national reputation. The trip to one of these conferences is one that no real, live student can afford to miss. The Association is seeking to develop a phase of character, that is an essential part of a :broad education, in the truest sense of that word. The strong man with red blood in his veins looks with contempt, and justly so, upon the bookworm who has developed his mind at the expense of his physical powers, and who comes from college, a mental prodigy and a physical wreck. just as ,deserving of scorn and contempt and pity is the man who has spent his time in the development of the mental and physical, and has neglected entirely the spiritual. The Association stands for the all around man, a strong mind in a strong body, and both at the service of God and humanity. I. C. H. 92 Y. W. C.

The Bible Study Committee organized five Bible classes, four for the girls of the collegiate department and one for the preparatory girls. As a text-book, the Seniors used Bosw'orth's Studies in the Teachings of Jesus and His Apostles 5 the other classes used The King and His Kingdom, by Veaclq, The MiS- sionary Committee, together with the young men's committee, or- ganised six Mission Study classes and planned the monthly joint missionary meetings of the two Associations. The Devotional Com-- mittee planned for the weekly meetings and met -with each leader in a few minutes of devotion before each meeting. The Inter-col- legiate Committee kept us in touch with the work of other colleges. p Much of the interest in the Association activity during the past year and' many of the helpful suggestions for carrying on the work were received by our delegates at the Summer Conference at Moun- tain Lake Park, Maryland. This conference washeld Aug. 28-Sept. 7, IQO8, and the entire s-ession pro-ved to be one of great spiritual uplift. Westm-ins'ter was represented by- six deleg'ates- Misses Davida Finney, Mabel Dick-ey, Grace Martin, Mabel Mat- thews, Marietta Thompson, and Olive Braham. This was the larg- est delegation ever sent to the Summer Conference and it is the aim of the Association to send even more, if possible, this year. The help received 'by the individual lives of the girls as well as that im- parted to the Association is of inestimable value. The influence ofthe Young Women's Christian Association upon the- life of the student cannot be over-estimated. It strength- ens her own spiritual life in bringing her nearer to Christ, it broad- ens her -interest and sympathy by bringing her into contact with a world wide movement, it helps fit her for active work in whatever sphere she maybe placed in after life, so we would appeallto ill the girls of Vlfestminster to give this great w-ork their most oya sup- port. 3 S.

At the present time she has more missionaries on the field than any other college of our denomination. There probably have always been some in school who have contemplated going to the mission field, but they had no mutual on- ganization for furthering their purpose. Some of the veterans from the field have related that when they were in school, a man would go to another man inclined as he was, and together they would talk over the prospects, perhaps study a biography of a pioneer, or again it might be a meeting forprayer only. It was not until IQO4 that a band was formed for mutual help and council. Mrs. McClure of India was the direct cause 'of the organization.i The Band has grown steadily and recruits are always gained after the inspiring conferences of Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. in the summer. The organization seemed, to a large extent, in its first few years to be a passive body, but the two or three years of waiting and prayer have been answered and the Band .can honestly claim its name. During the past year three of the original founders have been permitted to go to the field, one to India and two to Egypt. Of the twenty-two present members, twelve leave at Commencement to begin the final fitting and waiting. We n-eed men and wfomen to take their places. The ranks must not be empty. Every student has a fixed purpose and ambition in life. To those who do not know Christ, we would ask that they would stop and consider what life means. To the Christians we lay the responf sibility of the divine command, Teach all nations. Dear fellow student. have you taken Christ into your reckoning? Are you fol- lowing your own way to meet Him empty handed or will you go where He wants you to go? A. C. WY, ,II. 94 ' -'P . 'irq Hf g ,,ff-f-1-. - . ,V ,.,..,..., . if me -4 Q 4 Messrs.

A glance at any of the current magazines will revealto even the most thoughtless reader how marvelously the world is being united in these days, and how quickly is pbleingrealized the ideal of world brotherhood. The dependence of this :ideal upon the advance of civilization into all corners of o-ur world, -is a',,SCl.f,-CVident factgj And has it not been true that very ,often .missi-ons .iA' 'shave been the means by which the way has been opened for. greater enlighten- ment? .. a. ig 1. 1 So- also to-day, the important par-t miss'ions'play in 'world politics can be seen in therecent developments in India, Africa, Persia, and Turkey. ' A y - t. p ' - Therefore to be keenly a'live to? affairs in general, requires 'a knowledge of the different missionary agencies' andhof their work. This knowledge canqbe gained only thru study. The promotion of interest sufficient for a dehnite, regulated study has been the work of the Missionary Committeelof the Y. M, C. A. and the Y. W. C. A.,'thru the establishment of Mission Study Classes. These classes have always been startedgfin the fall and runthru a course of eight or nine wee.ks. J X - r- L ' This last fall, the regular Rally meeting was held in October, at which the subject of mission 'study was presented, and an enroll- ment taken. The next week the classes were started, meeting in homes near the college building.. The books studied,-and the' lead- ers, werepas follows .:- I ' T A ' up The Call ofthe Homeland y T Grace Martin 'fThe Call -ofthe Homeland - Chester Elliott Heroes of the Cross in America C, C, Hartford The Christian Conquest of Indian- i ,Violet Scott '4The Moslem VVorld 4 A - A h,Ge0fge Leng- The Moslem World - V - - E, V, Clements Egypt and the Christian3Crusade - - Davidg Finney The total enrollment this year was sixty-four. -The interest in the, different cl-asses has been very good, and' none who entered have regretted the time thus spent. For, if it required a little study before class time, with perhaps an hour on Vlfednesday evening, the knowledge, and the broader views obtainedhave more than repaid for this small. outlay. The classes 'offer a privilege of which we hope Westminster's students will always avail themselves. In them we find assurance for -our faith' in the coming Fiederati01q gf the NVorld, and can confid'ently..look forward to the time of which the Psalmist sang when he said, . N Jehovah hath established his throneinlthe heavens' And his kingdom ruleth over all. ' . i . 5 I 4- I K , . . oo. 96 - 0 6 ff I x gi VKX !

This contest has been one of the most prominent features of Commencement week ever Since the earliest days of the College. Occuring on the last night of the col- lege year, it forms a fitting climax, not only to Commencement week, but to the wh-ole college year, The history of the many past contests between the two societies would make interesting reading, if space permitted its narration. Altho the two literary societies were organized shortly after the found-ation of the college, several years elapsed before an inter-so- ciety contest took place. The Hrst inter-society contest was held March I7, I86I. Important as the -annual contest is tous to-day it was still more important to the early students of the institution. This Hrst contest was widely advertised and was given inthe pres- ence 'ofa large audience gathered from the surrounding towns and country. From that time on a contest has been held every ye-ar. Because of the many other events of Commencement week there has been a tendency on the part of some to underestimate the importance of the inter-societytcontest. 'ln fact its importance can har-dly be overestimated. Its influence- in stimulating inter-est and zeal in s-ociety work, in the valuable training it gives to the con- testants, and the attraction it offers .to returning Alumni need hardly to be renumerated. But it also has wide and more perma- nent results. It has been and is a powerful factor in sustaining Westminster's high position in Inter-Collegiate debating, and in the Tri-State Qratorical Contest. Not only have many of the men who have won honors for their Alma Mater received their training in previous society contests, but also have these contests kept the standard of society work high, and thus made it possible for good debaters and orators to be developed. . It may be safely said that just in proportion as the inter-so-ciety contest' is estimated and its value emphasized, will the college be able to m-aintain its reputation in inter-collegiate contests andthe literary work in the college sustained. 4 107 Frank 'R.iBailey, Philomath Orator, hails from the wild and w-ooly town ovf Xenia, Ohio. Hence his nickname Tuff Frank is a charter member of tfhe Senior Class of 1909. He en- tered Westmiiister four years ago a verdant, flourishing Freshman, and has- since evolved into one of the best all-round men'in his class., Tuff's ability along almost every line is only equalled by his -willingness to Work. He :takes great interest in VVest- minister's literary. social, and athletic life. Tuff is especially -interested iniscience and medicine, and much is expected from hi-ni along this line. Tuff's ability as an orator has been fully demonstrated, especially in the Junior Contest of '08, in which he tied for first place. Philo expects much of him in the coming contest, PHILOMATH CONTESTANTS. Robert McCall Gilkey, Philomath Debater,- spent his childhood and vouth in the neighboring town Of Mercer, but he has lately removed to Grove City. Bob began his higher education in Mercer High School and later attended Mercer Academy. Alf- ter completing the courses offered by these Prep schools, he entered our ranks as a Freshman in the Fall of 1907, By faithful work Bob has ac- complished in two years what many fail to do in three, and is now en- rolled in theljunior Class. Robert is considered one of the strongest men in Philo Society. He is Editor- in-Chief of the H-olcad, Pres. of the Y. M. C. A., Treas. of the Lecture Course, and Ass't. Business Manager of the 1910 Argo. Not only has Bob great ability along literary lines but he has a good business head and is prominent in all phases of College life. I . ...Qu 'Y F I l 'T' I i 5 l I 1 l Y' ek Robert James Dobbs, Philomatli Declaimer, is a resident of the town of New Vlfilmington. After gradual' ing from the New NVilmington High S-c'hool, Dobby entered West- minster as a third Prep and by Steady work has beco-me an active member of the Senior Class of 1909. Robert is one of the strongest de- claimers Philo has ever had and this is the second time he has defended her honor in the Inter-Society C011-A test. He has 'always taken 2111 HCUVQ part in Society work and is one of her most loyal supporters. 'fDobbYH is also one of the basketball stars of the school. He has played forward on the Varsity for the past two sea- sons. Robert M. Russell, Jr., Philomath Ess-ayist, like Moses of old, is spend- ing his early days in the Bull-rushes. Bob is, or in the course of timeiwill be, a full grown -citizen -of the Hour- ishing village of, Fayette. Before moving to the rural districts Robert resided in Pittsburg. While there he attended Shadyside Academy. Tub,' as he' is commonly known, is one of the best track men Westminster has ever fhad. Not only is Bob prominent in the literary and athletic world of Westminster, but he is also a great society man. His frank and con- genial manner has won for him many warm friends. We have no doubt but that sooner or later Robertwill follow his fatheris footsteps and grace the pulpit of some large churchf l , ......- .... ...-.,,. Robert A. Warren, Adelphic Ora- tor, comes from' dry Jefferson County, ,Ohio. He entered West- minster as a Freshman in '04, but sicknes-s :forced him t-o join the ranks of f'09. We are sorry that sickness held him back a ye-ar, but It is an ill wind that blows nobody good, and Old Adelphic is glad that she still has Bob to represent her, While the Senior Class considers him a valu- able asset to their already distin- guisfhed ranks. He has been chosen orator because he has long since proved his ability in that line, tying for first place in the Junior Contest With the gentleman Wh-o will prob- ably be his Worthy opponent in the coming contest. Mr. Warren is an example of What perseverance and faithfulness in so- ciefty work can accomplish. Tho not definitely decided o-n his life Work, he will doubtless choose a profession which will be most beneficial to his fellovvmen and thus most delightful to himself. ADELPHIC CONTESTANTS R. Thurlovv Hood, Adelphic De- bater, was born and raised in the suburbs of the Smoky Ci-ty. There he received his common and High School trainingg but asplrlng to nobler things he decided to come to Westminster. He has never regret- ted the decision in the least. While in High Scho-ol, Mr. H-ood was knoyvn as a thoro student and this reputation he has carried thru his college career. Sin-ce his initiation into Adelphic he has always shown great interest in so-ciety vvork. O-n account of his ability asia debater, he was chosen as one off last year's. team in the Geneva- Wesrtminsiter debate. Tho fortune was unkind the experience gained lit- ted him for filling the most important position for his society in the Inter- Society Contest. Old Adelphic ex- pects great things of him and she feels that vvhe-ther he wins or loses, he will reflect on her nothing but the highest credit. D. Clyde Hfankey, Adelphic De- claimer, was born in the northern part of Armstrong County and there obtained his early education. From there he passed into Elder's Ridge Academy from which he was grad- uatedf with honors. 'He 'entered the Freshman Class in the Fall of 0-5. He has always been faithful to his class which feels very grateful to him for the efficient manner in which he managed the business end of their Argo. Hank has greatly augmented Wes'tminster's fighting strength by participation in almost every phase of her athletic activity. This, ho-wever, has no-t detra-cted from his society work. His reward has been the posi- tion of decl-aimer. We feel that this trust has not been vouchsafed' to him iii vain -for his ability as a speaker is -of no mean order. His earneStneSS and his energetic zeal cannot help but bring glory to his society and renown to himself. Clyde C. Hartford, Adelohic Es- sayiist, is one -of Westminster's Wash- ington County sons. Entering as a third Prep he attracted little atten- tion save by his broad smile. But, by and by, as Coblby, as he is famil- iarly kn-own, became better known to us we began to admire him. 'And truly his common sense and sterling character are worthy of ad-miration. Back off all his genial good humor is a seriousness which only his closest friends know. No Adelphi-c has been more tireless in his efforts and con- scientious in his society work than he. But it was not 'because of his 'faith- fulness, but on account of fhis literary ability' thatiihe was chosen essayist. H Cobby is alkeen lover 'of nature and, when hlis work permitsg he loves to g-o out into the woodlands and there hold communion with her in- visible iforms an-d listen to her gentle yet varied language. Geneva-Westminster Debate The sixth annual debate between Geneva and Vlfestminster oc- casioned more interest, perhaps, than any previous debatebetween the colleges for two reasons, first, the question was -one in which much popular interest was centered, and second, the choice of both colleges were con-testing. The debate took place at New VVilming- ton on Mwarch Io, IQO8, the question being: Resolved, that consti- tutional prohibition would 'be amore effective temperance measure in Pennsylvaniatat 'the present time, than local option. The Ge- neva debaters, Delmar Coleman, ,IO and HowardC. Kidd, '08 chose -the affirmative, while Paul J. Simison, ,OQ and R. T. Hood, ,OQ,, of Westminster, sustained the negative. An idefa of the closeness of the contest may be gained from the fact that each of the judges had a different idea of the result.. After consulting the totals of the split points, it was found that'Geneva had won by 3fI6 of one per cent. Geneva won in style and delivery, while our men had the better argument. In losing, no honor is de- tracted from Vlfestminster, .welsimply say, They have fought a good fight. , , ' .1 A n Paul J. Simison, of Volant, Ra.,'has.b,een'a member of the class of 'o9'since .its birth in the fall of I9o5,-and has alwaysstood high in its favor. He was chosen on the debating team by the Philomath Literary Society because. of liishigh literary ability, and faith- ful society work. n 9 ' A A I . ' - 9 9 R. T. Hood, of Pittsburg, Pa., is also amember of -the class of ,OQ, and has been withthat class since its Freshman year, He was chosenfro-m the.Adelphic Literary S-ociety in which 'he has worked with much- earnestness and ability. ' on Q' A A . 9 This year the Philoshave againchosen Simison and the, Adel- phics have elected A. C. Williamsom, of Brocton, Mass., to uphold VVestminster's end of the Geneva debate, which will be held at Beaver Falls, April 6, IQOQ. The question is: Resolved, that com- pulsory arbitration would be. the best method of settling disputes between labor unions and corporationsf' We are'-confident. of vic- tory because of Simison'sf experience and 'desire for revenge, and Willianisoiils literary worth. ' - Of the six debates between these twowcolleges, victory has rested four times with the banner of the blue and white, while only twice have the laurels gone to Geneva. . D' N. VV.

During the fall semester, each member of the Junior Class is required to prepare and give publicly an oration or an essay, the men giving orations and the ladies, essays-. From these perform- ances, the faculty selects four men and four ladies to contest for two best oration and one for the best essay. The contest is decided by three judges, who are chosen by the faculty and who are in no way connected with the college. In the last contest Mr. Frank Bailey! and Mr. R. A. Warren tied for first place, in consequence of which a medal was awarded to each of them. Miss Emily Matthews received the medal for the gold medals, one given for the best' essay. ' Hitherto it has been the custom for the contestants to simply repeat the exercises preparedin the fall, but this year they were re- quired toiwrite new orations and essays. The following persons were chosen for this year's contest: Qrators, C. VV. McNary, Frank Sturgeon, Nathaniel Love, and John C. Young, essayists, Marian Forsythe, Marietta Thompson, Lulu Schoeller, and Alice McCrory. 114 L- The Cratorical Association The Westminster Oratorical Associationhas control of all the forensic contests of the college. It was organized in 1895 to take charge of the preliminary contestg however it has since taken the Geneva debate under its jurisdiction. The associationis made up of the members of the Adelphic and the Philomafth literary societies, and its officers are chosen alternately from these societies. The preliminary contest which decides who shall represent Westminster on the tri.-state contest, is held annually on the third Tuesday in April. For this cont.est each society elects three men who have distinguished themselves in the society. The result of this contest is not -only an orator for the tri-state contest, but a healthy vigorous in-ter-society spirit. Three weeks after the preliminary contest, the tri-state is held at one of the competing colleges. This contest is the game of games, the victory of victoriesg to be played and sought before all others, athletic or literary. The college which is fortunate enough to have the winning orator has great reason to be proud, for at one stroke she conquers a half dozen similar institutions. The winning orator not only receives great commendation but a fifty-dollar gold medal, which is furnished by the colleges in the association. 'Few will forget the excitement which prevailed in our own college world after the victories 'of Miller, Hezlip, Getty and Warnock over Westminsters' opponents on four different years. The standing of Westminster in the tri-state association is one in which 'her friends may well glory. Four ti'm'e's since joining the association in 1895, Westminster men have been crowned with the vi-ctor's laurelg five. times have her s-ons taken second place-thus making Westminster first in the league and demonstrating that, the old Westminster spiritf' is quite as effective on the platform as on the gridiron.

It was organized about six years ago for the purpose of strengthening and deepening literary interest among the students. But owing to the previous provisions for the exercise of literary ability, the members came to the conclusion that more of the social element should be introduced in order to secure greater harmony between the social and intellectual nature. This step, however proved' to be the undoing of the Tetralectic as a literary organization. Since it was taken the society has steadily departed from its original aim and ,purpose until now we believe that it is properly classified with the -other eating clubs. The social element as first introduced took the form -of harmless, old-fashioned games and light refreshments. But these light refreshments have assumed a more and more important place on the Tetralectic pro- gram until at present they are really the whole show and are more properly designated as a feast. Then, when some ambfit-i-ous ones outside of the organization, swipe the light refreshments, the meeting is- counted a dismal failure. Some few 'characteristics serve to differentiate this club from the others. First, it is coeducational. fThis makes itone of the most attractive. Then again, it meets, not three times a day as do- the others, but albout every two weeks. ' We are in hopes that by the time the next volume of the Argo- appears, Tetralecticpwill have so far redeemed itself as to enable the 1911 staff to restore it to its usual place among the Literary Socie- ties of the College.

In addition- to tfhe usual'o-Hicetrs-Frersident, Vice President, Secretary and ,Treasurer there is the College Athletic Advisory Board. This Board consists of three members from the Faculty, and, during the first semester, the Football and Basketball Man- agers, during the second semester the,Baseball and Track Man' agers. 'In this way the Faculty is 'enabled to keep in direct touch with all athletics. Another sub-organization is the BO-211'd Of Dl- rectors. 'This' bo-dy consists -of one member from each club includ- ing the Treasurer of theIAssociation who acts as chairman. ' I The College Advisory Boardholds first place in importance and power in the,Association. It has absolute control of all athletics: instructing managers, selecting coaches, equipping athletes. and all other mattersiof importance. Expenses and guarantees must be submitted to them by the managers, and thus the Board bears the responsibility for all money paid out. The money is handled thru the Board of Directors who are responsible to the Association for allmoney. 'It is their duty to audit the itemized accounts of the managers and report the same' to the Advisory Board. I .The Association controls the awarding of the school NXNH to those me'm'bers of the respective teams havingplayed the required amount of varsity ball. It also controls all managers, the assistant managers becoming managers the following year. In this way the manager has a knowledge of the work which he assumes. ' During the last yeara plan was adopted that provides for bet- t.er financial conditions. .Theplan is simply this: Each student is required to pay a fee of three dollars each semester for athletic pur- po-ses. The student receives, in turn, admission to all College- Ath- letic events. Thus the student is bet-tered financially by the change. This plan also gives the managers' a definite sum on which to base their calculations, thus assuring better, equipped and better managed tea-ms. This plan wasestablished with some difficulty, but now that it has been approved by the College Board of Trustees. the future of the Association seems much brighter than formerly. The whole Association now seems headed in one direction' the .best athletics for Westiiiiiister. Managers are chosen for their ability to direct and perform the duties of their position. Thus we feel conhdent that Vlfestminsteris Athletic Association has taken no backward step but rather a step forward into the sphere of usc- fulness and popularity, , ' . . ' ' 1 , lf. R. Bailey.

Football ,ii-l , At the opening of the football season of 1908, much uncertainty concerningtheiprospects of a successful season was expressed on almost every hand. :Of the 1907 aggregation Capt. Scott had grad' uated and Griei,iRichards, and Cole failed to return. The places of these men had to be filled by raw recruits of whose football ability little was known. However, much confidence was placed in Coach McMahon who had so successfully co-ached the team in 1906 and 1907. Nor was our conhdenee misplaced. Again he demon- strated his ability -as a coach, and again Westminster won the championship of the Inter-Collegiate League of Western Pennsyl- vania. I . Capt. Hankey led the team with hischaracteristic d-ash and vigor, and his defensive playing at riglht end was a feature of almost every contest. At left end Mansell, of 'Sharon High School fame, was devledloping into real form, when his ankle was broken in the game with Geneva on Gctober 24th. His loss threatened to weaken theteam considerably. However, Ashton who took his place soon showed that he was made of the right' kind of stuff. His punting and all around pl-aying was a brilliant feature of the last few games of the season. 4 .y . In the back-field Andy ,Park's work at full'-back was steady as a clock. He was always on the right spot-at the right moment. Hloustorfs playing at left half was beyond the expectation' of any- one, his work -on the defensive being particularly fine. 'Walken who cannot boast of more than 145 pounds, can how-ever boast that every pound was in the game everv minute. His playing at left- half was one of the surprises of the season. ', n . The work of Abby,' Everhart at quarter-back was all that his most ardfent friends could desire. His. excellent generalship was manifested on every occasion, and much of the 'team's success can be attributed to his clear-headed, consistent playing. A Sturgeon and Heinrich played a strong game at tackle. Hein- rich was handicapped during the early part of the season by a .dis- located should'er'but got back into the game on October 24, still wearing his us-ual victorious smile. Sturgeon at right tacklfe was like a stone wall, .scarcely a gain of any account being made thru him during the entire season. ' . At guard Clements was a tower of strength to thfe whole line. His weight and experience combined to make him one of.the most valuable men on the team. Porterfreld, although somewhat 'inex- perienced, gave a good account of himself at all times, while As- ' 138 Slstant Manager MCNafy played an admirable game at center. . Qf the subs we oughtnot to fail to mention Vance, who wor- fled 501116 of the line men not alittle about their iobsg and Graham, who played a strong game in the back field. Both of these men came wit.hin a few minutes of playing 'enough to win VV'sf' Tal- lant also showed considerable ability on the line and ought to make a valuable man for next year. Parish, sub-quarterback. has all the fe'ClU11'CmCHfS 'O-f a good player, and we have a riglit to expect great things of him next year. T Having given this 'brief account of the individual players 'we- now turn to their record as a whole: A The first game of the season was played on the home grounds Sept. 27, w.ith the Slippery Rock eleven. Almost every man' on the squad was given a trial in this game, as a result of which the score was not as large as it might -otherwise have b-een. However, a ,score of 27-O argued well for the team,s success. The second game was played with the University of Vyfest Virginia team. Defeat was expected by a larger score 'til1El11..22-O, and satisfaction wfith the team's. showing was expressed by every one. V T Un Qct. IO in a drenching rain, we lined up against the W. and J. team. 'lt had been raining for some time before the game was called and the field was a sea of mud. Fumbles were the order- of the day, with VV.-and J. having the better luck in recovering the ball. Thehrst half ended I3-O in their favor. In the second half XV. and J. failed to score, never being within striking distance of our goal line. They were played to a stand-still in this half. TheiAlumni were desirous of showing that they had' not for- gottenhow to play the game, and scheduled a contest for Oct. I7. They went down to defeat before our warriors 26-o. n We opened our series of inter-collegiate games at Beaver Falls on Saturday, Oct. 24, in a rough and uninteresting game with Ge- neva. The game ended I5-O in ourfavor but not until a serious loss had been inflicted upon us. Mansellhad his left ankle broken and was put out of the gameifor the remaining part of the season. The next game wasa hair-raiser. On Nov. 3 we met and. after a nerve racking contest defeated Grove City at Cascade Park, New Castle, I2-6. Grove City came to New Castle confident of victory and fought every inch of the way. ,The one thousand or more spectators voted the game a rare treat. . ' On Nov. 7 Geneva came to New Vlfilmington only to receive a second and a more thorough trouncing than before. The first touch- down was scored in fifty seconds of play. The final score was 39-o. The annual game with Allegheny was played at Sharon on Nov. 14, and came near putting an end to our plan to have a clean . 139 ' v sweep of victories for the- league season. An inch of snow covered the ground rendering consistent football impossible. The 1ClI'S'E half ended 5,-o in Allegheny's favor, and doubts of any change for- vic- tory crowded themselves into the minds of- Vlfestminster support- ers. Our team came back strong in thelsecond half and several times rushed the ball to Allegheny's ten yard line. Capt. Hankey distinguished himself by going 'down the field under a punt, and, like a flash, seizing the 'ball which had been fumbled, and carrying it over the goal line for aa touch4down. -Victory came when Ever- hart kicked goal from-a very difficult angle. On Nov. 21.4 we addedeanother, victory by defeating Hiram on our own grounds 16-o. - ' ' T ' Wie wound up the 'season at Grove -City -on Thanksgiving in' a blaze of glory. The game was rough but abounded in- sensational playing. ,It waslai complete demonstration of the superiority of the blueand the vvhitef' Every'VVestminster man starred. Two touch?-dow-ns were scored in -each half and t'hree goals were kicked by Everhart 'making the' final score 23-o. ' Again, pure athleticshave triumphed--not by chance of caprice, but 'by hard and determined- work on the part of every one conQ nected withthe teamf Every member of t.he squad is to be com- mended forthe willingness and faithfulness with which he trained. The student-body showed their appreciation of the team's work by presenting each member with a new VV sweaterg , A , H -' ' G. A.

Basketball for the past ten years has o'ccup'i'Cd El Pf'0'minCnl5 PO' sition in the athletic circles of Westminster and we have usually been representedby a fast -team. 1 This year was no exception tothe rule. At the beginning of the season, however, the prospects for a winning team didnot look very, .bright with Capt. Vance, Hankey, and Sturge-on of last year's team out of thegame. ' ' The season opened, Dec. I2 with an almost entirely new team on- the floor and,'with the all star Alumni team as our opponents, the Varsitysuffered their first defeat. A , on account' of the vacancy in our schedule caused' by Alle- gheny,.a game was arranged with Hiram. In this, our boys were not able to follow the fast pace set and we suffered our second de- feat. Defeat however, only proved an inspiration. With Capt. Vance inthe game once more, the-boys practiced hard and easily ,defeated the Geneva five in the first game of the Inter-Collegiate League Race by a score of 35-18. ' I . ' Qnllfieb. 6 our old time rivals, Grove City came tomeet us ,and met withian overwhelming defeat at our hands by the score of 46- 19. Sturgeon, wh-o returned to the line up for his first game, helped along with his strong defense work. ' . ' i 1 ' On, Feb. 16, 17, and 18 we played Waynesburg, Muskingum, and Carnegie Tech, respectively. Allthese games were hotly con- tested. NVQ lost to VVay,nes'burg 26-24, wfon from Muskingum 24- 17, and lost t-o Tech 17-16. This was the Hrst game with Muskingum in the history of the institutions. W ' ' 1 ' The following week we experienced our second defeat in the ,League race at Geneva. A few days later we traveled to Grove City and, weakened thru the absence of Sturgeon, were unable to prevent G. C. from .pulling out a victory. i The last game Ofillhe 5635011 was played on the home floor' with the Skibo lads. VVestminster was seeking revenge for the past defeat and bythe fastest kind of team work succeeded in doubling the score on the Highlanders. This victory'secur'ed for Wfestmin- ster second place in the League. . -With this gvam-e, Varsity Basketball at Westminster. became a thing of the past. The faculty believed the relation which exists be- tween study and athletics to be too absorbing and that restrictions were necessary along some line of athletics. In their judgment baslketball was -the leas-t important of our sports and consequently in the future, Westminster must thrive without a Varsity Five, 146 i I ... ...I . - .. - 1. - . + pm w7YY7Y A -o.+M-- o , N, TOP ROW-Moore, Houston, Hood, Mgr.

HOUSTON, Captain ' 149 Baseball--Spring of 1908 i-l--i The record of thebaseball te-am for the season does not appear very creditable on paper, and the unkind critic may probably say, why bring forth the ghost of ia dim and unpleasant past? VVhy speak -of a team which seems to many,-as far as so called good re- sults are concerned, to stand for naught? We write becausethe season of 1908 was far from being unsuc- cessful, results not commonly called victories prove it so. ' VVe had in Mr. S. M. Jamison a most efficient manager, but lacked a real. live coach who could teach the game and begin things with a dash. which goes far toward a successful end in the athletic world. Cf last year's team but Sturgeon and Hankey remained. The team. then, was to be made of new and untried men, whose standing as players' in the June contests was to be the correct estimate of our success. Of the new men, Taylor donned the mask and at times showed brilliancy behind the bat, but lacked that experience which gives steadiness to pitcher and team at critical stages. Hamilton devel- oped into -a good outfielder but was always weak at the bat. Samp- son, before the season ended showed himself to be a pitcher of col- lege caliber. Miller always played a consistent game at first base- Other new men played well at times in an individual way, but lacked the idea of team work. The conditions at the openingof the season were most adverse. The first game had to be cancelled because o-f rain, and a week later our boys began their long trip to Morgantown, W. Va., after ri week of idleness. The story is soon told. We were badly worstefl in the .first game, but in the seco-nd scored two runs to the Uni-- versity's o-ne, when the rain again fell in torrents ending all games for the day. We continued our weary way to Waynesburg where we met defeat again, 5-2, At Carnegie Tech the following day we met the same brand of stuff, 3-Ig but here the team showed real ability, and it was said that o-ur outfield was the best seen on the- Held that year. S Against our old rivals we manifested some improvement, but kept on losing games 3-2, 5-4, and 2-I to such teams as Grove City.. Allegheny, Hiram, etc., all because the team lacked some one to en- couragethem to lay hold of opportunities and play the game to the flnish. . - The most notable game of the year was played at Slippery Rocl' on the morning of Memorial 'Day. VVith Sampson pitching, the Normal team of ex-leaguers was made to feel decidedly uneasy the 150 whole route, and had he received any support at all would have an- nexed the game. i The season came to an inglorious close with little of renown to 1 the institution, and with nothing but experience for the team which may, we hope, result' in future victories. No. man felt that he had ig shirked, and no -one cared to censure any other. Each was op- 'EI . pressed by the cloud -of ill-fortune that hovered over the work of thai team all season, 'and by his inability to cope with it. On the eve of . I June II, with sorrow as well- as joy, each one quietly laid away his 9 armor and melted away into the shadows to pursue other things.

However, considering the conditions, the season was not without its encouraging features. 'We had a squad of men who were inexperienced, yet who wo-rked faithfully, and who gave promise of better days in the future. The local records for the mile- run and the discus throw were broken, and a-creditable all-around team developed, which hopes to bring back our lost. laurels. T Wheil the class of '07 graduated, they left -but tw-o men in school who had earned their trackcVV, Vance who .was elected captain, and Scott who had won his laurels on the discus and shot. Vance was prevented from running on account of ill-health. So the usual trip of the relay team to Philadelphia was omitted, and the first event 'was the inter-class meet on May 17. A Much interest was shown in this. The attendance was good and all events hotly con- tested. The results proved that therestill remained in the school some athletic ability, as good records were made. The Freshmen were the victors with the juniors second. The following week we met Geneva on our own track. This contest showed Westminster's superiority in running. But her weakness in other departments, and lack of a full team, resulted in an ign-ominious defeat, ignominious because a little of the old West- ' 4 153 minster spirit could. have changed it tao- a victory. V A 4 No 'oth-er ' opportunity was offered until the big Conneaut meet on June 6. But in the meantime, the men were Working hard, and the seven who were taken to- Conneaut were able to make a good showing. Most of them took points, and the relay team' finish- ed third vvith W. and fourth and Grove City fifth. W D The next autumn in the annual tvvo-mile relay race, between the classes of ,I2 and ,II, the latter vvas victoriousin a close race, both teams being vvithin a fevv seconds- of the college record. ' Q An appeal for more.. interest in running and field sports may not be out-of place in closing. No- other athletic-s offer suchg' a variety or so much freed-om,take so little time, involve soplittle danger, or are more beneficial- The trips are not too frequent but are unusually attractive. . Everyone is vvelcome to compete. . All have equal chances, andthe 'victoryiinvariably goes to the best man. As for ability to makegood, n-o one can say for himself until he has tried. 1 I l R. R.

Last spring the tournament was held at Meadville, under the auspices of Allegheny College, Wfestminster being represented by Messrs. Ray Miller, Robert McKay and William Moore. The style of play was c'Round Robinf' Miller and McKay, in the doubles, easily defeated the other teams, with the exception of Allegheny. Her representatives, Perry and Carroll, gave the hardest light, and it was only by the best of team-work that the men pulled themselves out of a seemingly impossible hole. Allegheny had taken the Hrst set 6-1, and our men the second 6-4. ln the third, the score was I-5 and-- 30-love against them, when they turned in and won the set, match, and tournament, 8-6. ' Willianf Moore, a comparatively new man, put up a game iight in Class B, but was ultimately outclassed by his more experienced opponents. VVith another year to his credit, he is bound to become a winner. Ray Miller, local Cham-pion in singles, defeated all c-omers 'in Class A, with the exception of George of Geneva, but lost to him 6-I and 6-4. i On the whole, the team made a splendid showing, and we will feel keenly the loss of McKay in the tournament at Grove City next May. Nevertheless, with-Miller as the mainstay, some new material should be developed to fu-rth-erthe honors of our alma mater in this most excellent held of sport. I Due to- the fact that the men on the tennis teamr had just com- pleted play ,at Meadville, and were obliged to participate in the athletic sports of Commencement week, the annual local tournament was postponed until the Fally ln this Miller took first place in the singles, but owing to the inclemency of the weather, no double matches were played off. 1 I Y.. . .

As is customary, the banquet was held at the Hillside and certainly was a success. The decorations were- green and white, freshman colo-rs, the ,walls of the dining-room being hung with Southern smilax, while baskets of fruit formed the center-pieces for the tables. A fine menu waas pro-vide-d -and was greatly enjoy-ed, Mr, R. Russell Brown, president of the junior Class, acted as toast-master. The following toasts were responded to: The Class of IQI2, Mr, john C. Young, The Class of IQIO, Mr. Orville J. Walker, The Ladies, Mr. Philip Love, Cur Alma Mater, Mr. Carl W. McNary. After leaving the dining-room, the unique feature of the even- ingfs entertainment was the playing of old fashioned games. Other forms of amusement were -also provided. As a whole the banquet was a great success and a fitting event to introduce the Freshmen into the social life -of Wesminster. V Sophomore-Senior Banquet On Friday evening, Feb. 26, the annual Sophomore-Senior Banquet was held at the Hillside. The banquet this year was given by the class of IQII inreturn for the honor bestowed' upon them a year previous. As this occasion, makes one of the most im- p-ortant features of Westminster's yearly life, nothing was left un- done in adding to the evening's enjoyment. The dining-hall was most artistically festooned for the occasion. Southern smilax .was used as, the background decorations, while orange and black-the colors of the class of 1909-were everywhere in evidence. After the custom of other institutions, the members of 1911 in- vited guests of ho-nor, and Mr. and Mrs. T. I. Gillespie of Pittsburg, were chosen and accepted their invitation. Mr. Gillespie is a mem- ber of the Board of Trustees and during the evening he very ably brought greetings from that organization. Again, another feature 163 of the evening, was the progressiv-e nature of the dinner. At the end of each course tvvo couples prOgreSSed 'CO the table ahead and in this Way, the sphere of conversation and enjoyment was materially enlarged. Wfhil-e the changing fr-omltable to table occurred, all joined in singing some of the most popular of the college songs to the accompaniment of the orchestra. Duringithen dinner R. M. Russell, jr., acted as toast-master and the following toasts were responded to: The Class of IQOQ, H. Ray Shear, The Class -t oi IQ-IQI, Chester H. Elliott, The Ladies, W', Clark, Gur Alma Mater, AndreW,T. Park. After singing the VVestminster Hymn, the remainder of the evening was spent in conversation and various forms oi amusement, provided for the occasion. , KEYSTONE ORCH ESTRA ' 164 L I 5 4 gaxwnlll H-fnimnmizsaczxmfazlsscmiiillllh?i'f2llli.iSEQ1,73gi'i'g'.2'7.iji3a'!'!?fa,gf if i if-ff e- 1- a+ 1 J as jf..-1 r :ff s o ' ,faf:,f't r -t---of -1 1- . we t 3 gf 'frrxrvx 1 ' ' ' '-I , , fffffs4..ff p.

' The' Hillside parl-ors, the scene of -activity, wer-e decoratedlvery fittingly in grinning jack-o'-lanterns and autumn leaves. There, Dr. and Mrs. Russell, ,assisted bythe faculty, greeted all the wierd, un- earthly figures, which came to the celebration, and for once in their lives the faculty were the ones who trembled' ' f Of all the different characters! Gypsies, Indians, Cowboys, and Ghosts chased little Bo-Peep, Red Riding-Hood and Buster Brown g' while Death succeeded in terrifying the entire assembly.. After a few minutes of hilarity and fun, a wedding march was struck up, and a wedding procession of negroes slowly and solemnly made its way down the stairs. There were handsome ushers,icharm- ing bridesmaids bedecked in wonderful dresses of all colors and styles, a happy bride and a self satisfied groom, cute little ribbon bearers, dainty flower girls, and weeping parents. VVhen the entire procession had finally reached the altar, the ceremony began, there was quite a confusion among the ghosts, witches, and Indians to see the performance, butthe colored preacher raised his voice and made himself heard by -all., T ' . The wedding ceremony c-ompleted, the party broke up and there was about an hour spent in frolic and funr Then came the unmaslc- ing, which caused much surprise and merriment. A At ten o'clock, all were invited to the basement where refresh- ments would be served. There, one large room was decorated in a truly Hallowe'en fashion-there were huge bunches of corn stalks in the corners of the room, behind and above which, peeping 165 ' ' . x through, were t'he jack-o'-lanterns. Camp chairs' were set in groups around the room and, when we were seated in these, little gypsy maids brought us an abundance of pumpkin pie, apples, doughnuts, and coffee. , After enjoying all these good things, We returned to the iirst floor and entered into a grand march through the corridors. Then, in a short time, theparty broke up, and the tired faculty and students departed with the feeling that the party had been a great success.

We are .to-ld that Abraham Lincoln, when his friends taunted him about his studious habits, replied: I am going to get ready HHYITOW1, and then maybe my chance will come. This simple re- mark I1'l1gl1l'VVGll be taken as a teXt by every college student, for it epitomizes in one sentence all the arguments ever -advanced in favor of a college education. . In the practical age in which we are living where the principal object is to master some trade -or profession and realize the profit from it as soon as possible, theinecessity or even the advisability of .a college training is a question of ever increasing importance. At least one half the students in our colleges to-day probably never ex-' pect to make any direct use of the various subjects, to the study of which they. are devoting four of the best years of their lives. lf one -of them were to be asked what practical- benefit he was deriving from the studies he was pursuing, he would probably be unable to give a satisfactory answer, although thoroughly convinced himself of the wisd-om -of his course. It is this anomalous situation which complicates the question and justifies the contention of the enthusi- astic oldqgraduate who advises a college education for every one, as well as that of the skeptical layman who seeks practical proof. So much has been said about the special advantages of a college training in fitting up and rounding out a man, that any mention of the subject can only be a -repetition of nameless p-latitudes. But on-e thing is certain that those of us who have been permitted to spend four years amid the hallowed associations -of the truly great have enjoyed a rare privilege. To walk daily with Shakespeare and rise to the sublime with Milton, to know Goethe in his own tongue, to study the laws of science and the movement of the stars with Kepler and Darwin, to listen to the eloquence of Cicero and Demosthenes and,to drink in the music of Wfordsworth and Tennyson have been our privileges, and our obligations ought to be on a level with them -whatever c-ourse we pursue in after life. The associations and 111- spirations of these four years lay a broad foundation for our future and whatever f-orm opportunity may take-it ought to find us ready. To every man sooner or later the chance, which Lincoln had IH mind in his 'days of preparation, 1s.boun-d -to come in 'some' form or other. The man who is ready wlll g1'21SIJ lf, Whlln 1115. neighbor sees it slip away. It is impossible to foretell what disguise oppor- tunity will wear, but he who is: really prepafed, Ueefl have UO' fear- Such a one should be the college man, trained as he is to a complete understanding of the use of his- facultiesand the supreme command of their exercise. Every normal being rs endowed at birth with a full range of faculties, but an understanding and control of thliir use is 'a process of training and development. The.fn11Y CCIUQPPC man ll h' f ulties and maintains them in the best has the possession of a is ac . , of repair He has then within himself resources which no demand and no exigency can exhaust. 169 The college is not a factory where crass matter- is shaped and types -of the same mould turned out. Its true ofhce is to guide and direct in the development of a student rather than.1nject into his mind so much specific knowledge-or place any particular stamp on him. Nor is the efficiency of the college gauged by the number of those turned out, -but rather 'by' the opportunity for the deveflopme-nt of individuality among the students. The college man who has re- ceived the personal attention and superintendence of his teachers, with the individual consideration of his special needs, has received the most out of his education and enters the battle equipped for any situation that may arise. Of course for one to.rise above the ranks-more than mere equipment is necessary. We see all around us examples of men of equal ability, in the popular sense, yet one is the leader and the others trail behind. But the man who is ready has more than mere equipment. The term itself implies more. It implies vvil ingness to undertake, and courage and confidence to execute. W ere should we look for these qualities if not in the college man? During his four years he undertakes a variety of tasks laborious and even onerous to which he cheerfully gives his best efforts in an endeavor to carry them through successfully. The services of the college athlete, the debater .or journalist have a sign-ificaancei greater than mere local achievements-they reiect a type of man vvho in a humble way perhaps is accomplishing something outside of his rou- tine duties and who is thus preparing himself even unconsciously for the greater opportunities which lie beyond. How oft-en have we stood on the side lines at the .football game and heard the stern demand Ready ring across the field, and the conndent response of the captain. VVe' hear the same demand repeated daily in after life, but not the same prompt and fearless re- ply. The captain and his men have been drilled and trained' for the contest-when the call comes they are ready. Too often the indi- vidual has, not been prepared and the cfall comes to him in vain. The college is the means of supplying this deficiency and the student who appreciates this, fulfills the largest purpose of an education, and can always reply in any emergency, like the athlete on his mark, Ready. , Chas.

Cie Brer Rabbit CWith apologies to Uncle Remusj Uncle Remus, said the little boy one day, why don't you come up to the big house sometimes and tell me stories ? u 'gwellf hfoneyf I dU1111O' jCSf' Wfhy I nebber seems to go up to de blg house ICICSC days, but, sho' 'nuff, ef yo' sets yo'self right down here, I'll try my very bes' to think uv what yo' likes. I The old man eyed him for a few moments and then went on, Ain't I done tole yo' 'bout dat big punkin on de hill 'bove Brer Rabbit's house? Des run over in yo' min' en see ef I ain't. The youngster shook his head emphatically. . Well, suh, said Uncle Remus, ole Brer Rabbit, he's a foxy ole fellow, en he has his house built so's he kin git out'n it by one door or anudder. ' H One dolor opens- onto dis yere side uv de hill, whar de corn am in de shock en de punkins am a growin'. But ole Brer Rabbit, he.ain't gwin-e ter 'low no one ter ketch him. De back door to dis house uv his'n is on de udder side uv a rail fence, in de bunch uv alder trees, whar not even sly ole Brer Fox can find it. Cie Brer Rabbit hides hisself in de hole en watches fer when de enemy arrives to disturb his peace. Dey tracks him in at de front door, but dey nebber kin tell whether he dar or not. All de time dey peekin' into de dark hallway, ole Brer Rabbit may be laughin' at 'em from his 'zervatory in de alder patch. Une day Brer Rabbit he was settin' peaceably in his parlor en he hear some kin' uv commoti-on out'n doors, right by his 'front porch. Ole Brer Rabbit, he lick out his tongue quick, en 'low, someone has come here 'spectin' to git me into trouble. So ole Brer Rabbit he skip out'n de back door, en peek thru de fence, en dar he see de man what owns de field come up, en he watch him. De man he soon get very busy settin' a mighty big steel trap wid double jaws, right outside uv Brer Rabbit's front door. -'Dey 'lows to ketch me dis time,' thinks Brer Rabbit, 'but not 's long as dis yere rabbit has his wits about'n him. Brer Rabbit he's wonderful wise, en he knows dat if he acts it mus' be quick, so- he done scratch his head en look sollum, en sho' 'nuff he Hn' a plan. He done loo-k up, en 'he se-e a punkin uv 'poster- ous size a growin' from a stem right at de top uv dis yere high hill above Brer Rabbit's house. D Now chile, yo' know how sharp ole Brer Rabbit's teeth am? . A 171 . Yes, I done tole you dat myself, many's de time. XN'ell, anyhow, he slip aroun' de alder patch en scampers to de top uv dis hill, en walks roun' en roun 'dis monstrous punkin, en he sees dat all dat holds it dar is de stem. Little ole Brer Rabbit wastes no. time scratchin' his head now. He sets hisself to work with his teeth, en chews en gnaws, en gnaws en chews, until de big punkin rolls roun' en looks dangerous. All dis time Brer Rabbit he keep his eye on de man settin' de trap. He grins as he sees dat mister man is kep' pretty. .busy managin' both jaws tohde big steel trap which is fo' to ketch Brer Rabbit. And Brer Rabbit he grin mo' en mo, as de big punkin rolls itself back -en fo'th' 'bove him. Den, chile all at once de stem comes off, an' down rolls de big punkin faster dan a runaway mule team, until ker-smash it done hit de ole mang en fo' he had time ter say 'jack Robinson,' de ole man en de steel trap went rollin' down togedder, en when at las' dey stops he finds hisseli all tangled up in de trap, en try as he would, his right leg wuz ketched in de trap,'en stay it mus'. ' I All dis time ole Brer Rabbit he standin' on de top uv' de hill, mos' splittin' his sides laughin' at his bran new trick, When he .git tired uv standin' up laughin', he jes' throw hisself on de grass en roll en holler, den he gets up en looks again at de man en de trap, en he laughs some more. De ole man 'he turn, he roll, he jump, but taint do no good, en so, fighitin' mad, he stumble awiay shakin' his fist at Brer Rabbit en his house, en mos' uv all at de big punkinf' A. MCK3Y,l,I2. if Xgsff' wif sd, 172 5 5 l f f A Beautiful Tone--What It IVIcans'I'o Me. Mona Downs I EVCTY 0116 Of us has some kind of an ideal that we follow. Per-- haps we do not realize what that ideal is when we first start out in life, but that ideal, always just a little out of our reach, tempts us on- and on in our struggles with the suggestion that, with a little more- effort, we shall gain the much wished for prize. Thus it has been with me. I cannot remember the time when I' was not trying to produce the t-ones thatl, would satisfy my ideal. When listening to Geister, Patti, or Nilsson-for my father took me to hear the great artists, even when so small that he would have- to 'carry me in- his arms- it was alw-ays to-ne-si that kept mly atten- tion. Once when our train stopped at Lexington for lunch, as we stepped to the platform, a colored woman with a big bundle on her red bfandannaed head went singing by, and my fatherand I followed her around that town just to hear her glorious voice. Such tonesg they were like velvet, so sweet, so limpid. In that colored woman's voice my ideal beckoned. - a So I studied and sang many times on the wrong track, but my ideal kept me steady. I tried New York, Boston, London, Paris, always hunting for ideas that would helplme reach my ideal. u I inet a painter, an artist living in a tiny, dirty room four flights up in the Latin Quarter of Paris, cold and hungry, but such roses as she painted! fresh 'roses covered with dew, and their per- fumes lingering round the canvas. In trying to tell her how beau- tiful her work -was tome, I said they looked in design and color just like a beautiful tone that I could hear singingin 'my heart. Thus again I met my ideal. - In a small back yard, not far from The house of .the livingu' CN-otre Damej and The house of the dead CThe Morguej, as we used to call them, an old Frenchman, in his funny blouse and cap, moulded and shaped a little figure, a copy of the Venus de Milo. I-Ie caught in that tiny face a reflection of the wonderful soul that looks out at you as you turnthe corner in the Louvre Gallery. Again all I could say was, That looks just like a beautiful tone to mef' The artist understood, and so again I had met my ideal. In the Conversatione des Arts et Mitiers, worked one day a chemist and an electrician. As I listened to their conversation con- cerning the possibilities of using electricity to produce vibratitoqni ' e a powerful enough to send thots around the world, it came to m 173 r I my ideal tone was vibration, with a beautiful idea back of it. Thus aga-in I met my ideal. In Le Maitrev studio, I tried to combine the most -beautiful tone possible with the truest ideas. In the Convent de la Compas- sion at Pontoise, when very ill, the Mother Superior prayed that if the little Protestant singer died, the Virgin would make an excep- tion in her case and allow her to enter the heavenly kingdomg Again my ideal! e I I The true life is the search for the mio-st beautiful and perfect, and the endeavor to embody in these beautiful and perfect forms what We have to give the World. In a great cathedral, the altar was all ablaze with candle light. Soft, many colored tints of sunshine came thru the stained glass windows, touching saint and sinner alike, and crowning the image of the infant Saviour with glory. The vast audience kneltg a priestly voice intoned the prayer, many child- ish voices sent back from the choir the response to be taken up by a wonderful solo voice far up in the organ loft and sent' rolling back in a triumphant burst of melody by the organ, to mingle vvith the sunshine in a great anthem. May not a single tone be one vvay of reaching The Ideal ? - . .'i'1 - ' x U':::': -:J 1 ' 2 - N . K7 Sff'EIe7z2f:'2':L -f 5 ' f'c s1nlf4n'1.s-,'s.'7 i - X' R? :'.'.'-nf-'f'1'fw2'g -7-wifi -' ,.

R. s 175 i Miss Thornton's Decision lf there is anything that will endure, It is the spirit of a little child. R. H. Stoddard. Room Number 2 was becoming restless. The children iidgeted about in their seats or listlessly watched the movements of a big, blue-bottle Hy, which kept up a continual buzz-buzz, like an anti- quated grindstonef The hard, yellow sunshine beat unmercifully upon the varnished desks and their tiny occupants. Even the teacher seemed to have caught the prevailing disquiet, for the gen- erally bright face wore a troubled look. Isaac Rubenstein's' endless questions, ranging from why the sun doesn't fall down, to whether the groundhog really saw his shadow had become a trifle 'weari- someg while at the pranks of mischievous Tommy Graham, unusual children in their grime and poverty, of their childish, complaining mothers, of all the harsh, unlovely things she came in contact with, day after day. . Besides, she had not slept well the night before, because of ap great decision she must make. Some months previous, she had vol- unteered to go as a missionary to Egypt, and now the opportunity had come. Should she accept? She thought of her mother, who- would be left all alone, for her brother had recently gone West and married there. But, on the other hand, she seemed, to hear the- words of Christ saying, He that loveth father or mother more than Me, is not worthy of Mef' What a glorious work it would be! The- East had cast its spell over her imagination as surely as the cry of its perishing millions had laid a debt of responsibility upon her con- science. She could see, even now, the waving palm-trees, the cara-A vans threading their way over the pale sands of the desert, could hear the melodious chanting of the camel drivers, and watch the dark forms gather about her, while she unfolded the story of the light to these other, more primitive children. But these romantic dreams were interrupted by the frantic waving of Molly Branniganisi hand, which threatened to entirely uproot her arm from her plump' little body. , XVhat is it, Molly ? asked Miss Thfornton, fearing some terri- ble disaster. ' Plaze, ma'am, may I be afther gettin' a dhrink P U Yes, yes, replied Miss Thornton, impatiently, for it was at least the sixteenth time that afternoon she had answered the samer 176 words of reproof fell from her lips. She was tired of it all, of the- request. Vifalking to the window, she looked out for a few moments upon the crowded street below, but changed her position just in time to see little Morris McPherson furtively peeping into an illus- trated copy of The Ancient Mariner, a gift from one of her dearest friends. Q HMY beautiful brook - and perhaps his hands are dirty ! Quick as thought, she turned and grasped her treasure from his hands, and, seizing him rather roughly by his thin shoulder, cried, Morris Mc- Pherson, what do you mean ! I-Iaven,t I told you not to tamper with the things on my desk? You may stand upon the platform, in front of the school until dismissed? - H A moment later she was s-orry she had lost her temper. The thin, slight Hgure standing there alone, faded jacket pitifully patched, the mouth quivering, and the largeblue eyes gazing at her with a surprised, hurt expression formed a path-etic picture, which filled her with keen regret. He had always been a mystery to her, this sensitive, silent little lad. The strange gaze of his blue eyes made her nervous, they seemed to say so much that the childish lips could not utter. She knewjvery little about his history, except that his mother was a seamstress and that his father, a calciminer by trade, had died some time before. Poor little Morris! Living in the midst of the dark tenement district, where the oathsof men and the wrangling of women, the smell of boiled cabbage and pork, the endless lines of clothes which never seemed to be taken down--where these things had sur- ro-unded him as long as he could remember, a strange Providence had, nevertheless, planted in his soul the love of beauty, which had lain there unsatisfied, till he had gone to school, had entered Room Number' 2, and had seen Miss Thornton. Then the little starved soul had burst into a great and reverent love. How he delighted, half un-consciously, in h-er trim white shirtwaist, in the play of the sun- shine on her brown hair, in the merry brown eyes, and the smile which set every nerve in his .slender body tingling! The artist soul within him would not let him lay at her feet the gifts the other chil- dren bestowed - puppies of doubtful pedigree, lead pencils, or even a particularly red and juicy Weenie So he only sat quietly and looked his love. But Miss Thornton did not understand. 1 Vlfhen school opened next morning it was very evident that something unusually exciting had occurred. The children were fairly bursting with news. Well, what is it, Mollie, asked Miss T1TO1'11fOH- Plaze, teacher, Morris is dead. ' ,. What, Mollie, are you sure? How terrible! . Yis, malam, God bliss his soul,'fz raising her eye piously to the 177 ' 1 Skies. ,,He was a goin, home ffgm 5,chool yisterday, ani' Smitlpg dhray wagon was a comin' along, aff Seems llkelgitviai? t mokm, or anyhow he was that run over ma am You WOU H 6 level- HH Miss Thornton.in,tC1'fUPt,edf 21 lwffified eX- pression on her face. Poor little Morris! shepthought to herself. I must go and see his mother at once. I. O But her school work demanded' a great .deal of time, and .her heart was leaning more and more toward making the great decision, so that if it had not beenfor ,the little vacant desk in the back row, and- the tiny red--bound slate upon it, she would almost have for- rris. gottigltlxlildjiigh it was several days later that, at the close of school, she threaded her way down East Grand street, thru Italian fruit ven- ders crying with loud voic-e their over-ripe' bananas, ,thru the midst of dark-eyed children playing in the dustat the side of the street, past groups of chattering, gayly-dressed women with babies in their arms, and stopped before a small cottage, upon the door of which hung the sign, Mrs Mary McPherson, PlainSewing. , I It was an unusually long time after the ringing of the cracked bell before the doorwas opened. Miss Thornton saw before her a woman, scarcely more than a girl' in years, whose thin, stooped shoulders and care-worn face told of the 'premature age which suf- fering brings. She bowed slightly, and upon Miss Thornton's stat- ing that she was Morris's teacher, and had called to express her sympathy, the blue eyes, so like those of Morris and yet so different in their sadness, filled with tears. . Won,t you come in? she asked, and Miss Thornton noticed that her voice was low and well modulated. She ushered her visitor into a small room, very bare and cheap, but with nothing glaring or distasteful about it. VVon't you sit down P asked Morris's mother, pushing forward the one rocker which squeaked dolorously under even the teacher's slight weight. She herself took one of the stiff chairs, while Miss Thorigton, rather embarrassed by the woman's gentle dignity, mur- mure - a few incoherent expressions of sympathy., But, having re- eevefed her PO1Se, she talked on about Morris's work at school- about ,how ' t d ' Q I H H quie an good and obedient he always was! D Yes, the mother answered, he was a good boy. . Andthen, for the first time since the accident, her self-posses- Sion gave W-aY. She buried her face in her hands, thru which the great 'feafe dropped, all unheeded upon the cheap, black dress, and, between th b - 4 I h ,C so s which tore her stooped body, cried, Oh, ma'am . ope 5o1u ll excuse me - but I just can't stand it any longer, Last nigrht I tnought I'd die before morning came-the.. house was s0 still and the wind .moaned so--and I'd keep forgetting and reaflh out to Cover MOTUS UP- Oh, I wish I could die! Perhaps then I wouldn't be so l l - . one Y any mOf.C - Morris never said much but hC'd f 178 i look at me so lovingly - that some how he kind of made up for his 'father being gone. From the time Morris was a baby, she went hon, with more C0m'P'0SU1'C 11OW,.Hl'1C always said he was going to be an artist like his father-you know John was a calciminer- and he used to sit with such a dreamy look in his eyes, it almost scared me. Perhaps you'd like to see some of his drawings ? Upon Miss Thornton's assenting she went from the mom and presently returned, bearing reverently a little bundle. And then the teacher saw, under the mother's tender touch, the crude sketches, pitiful childish attempts at a red rose, perhaps, or a winding river. I wonder, she said, if you understood how Morris loved you - he was always such a silent boy. But he was making a present for you e- he said he knew you,d like it because he'd seen you look- ing at- it so often- and she pointed out with her rough forelinger the las't of the pile, a rough imitation of the illustrated fro-ntispiece of the -Ancient Mariner. , y ' - - You see he didn't get it quite done, but he expected to finish it the very day- ' Here the mother's voice broke, the thin shoul- ders shook in an agony of sobbing, and she buried herxface in her hands. I V V At last Miss Thornton understood. After a few unheeded words ofconsolation she walked out the open door into the street. Poor little Morris! Poor little Morris ! was all she could say, and hate herself because she had notunderstood sooner. She glanced back thru the open door into the room beyond. Morris's mother had ceased crying 'and had taken up a piece of plain sewing in a me- chanical way -but the rough, needle-pricked fingers did' not take a single stitch. A Miss Thornton walked al-ong the narrow dirty street, amid the begrimed men coming home with their dinner-pails, amid the odors of countless boiled dinners, unheeding, for her heart was far- away. The answer she must send to the Mission Board was again in her mindf But, somehow, the East did not call to her so strongly now. The tragedy of Morris's, love helped her to feel the responsibility, right at her home, of more than one little life made brighter because of her presence, while the contact with misery and suffering, the petty annoyances of the school-room did not seem so great, when, at the end -of a day's toil she could see the happy face of a waiting mother. That night Miss Thornton wrote to the Bo-ard that she felt it her duty to remain where she was. M Sina Templeton Steenrod, ,I2. . L '17 9 My Pipe 1i- -- I As my eyes caressingly linger on you, Old Pipe, I wonder-who have been your friends before the shop-keeper exchanged you for my silver. 'I'rue,the initials of a great man, a maker of pipes, are branded deeply in your stem, but since you are not heir to your maker's fame, and since his friends were not your friends, my quest seems hopeless. Still my thoughts turn to you, and my curiosity will not be satisfied because you are different from other pipes, al- though their purchase price equaled yours. W'hoi, pray, were your brothers in that great factory where the white clay was moulded, burned, and finished, and what kindly hands made it possible for you to travel such a distance and finally meet meg for I am told your home is near the Black Sea and folks call you Meerschaum. You seem reluctant to name your friends of infancy, and the merchant from whom I purchased you knew nothing of your history. So I fear your past as well as your :friends will remain unkno-wn to me. You were my cho-i-ce fr-om among your fellows. Your amber stem was hard' and clear as crystal, and, the bowl was white and shiny, and-if pipes can speak, you requested, yes begged, to be my slave. A I At first your taste was unpleasant, but you seemed to under- stand, for you formed a thin coat of caking inside' the bowl, and to this you added daily, until all bitter and nauseating tastes were sup- planted by a rare soothing incense for which, in time, you caused my heart to crave. AS grew Older, you advanced in years, and time has brought decay to you, still you know that I shall not be spared. But age tells GIDOUI' COmr21deship and how we've treated each the other, and I think, Old Friend, of how, at labor's end you have lgunged and talked of life and wondered whether, after all, it .was worth the 11v1ng. ' A When QUT College life began you linked yourself still closer in my frlendshlp' and fore Year we lived in perfect harmony and sym- Pelthyi When Pe1'P1eXi11g problems confronted us, you worked with mlght and main, and feleieed with me wh-en we had solved the myS- tery. VVhen I was duty free and at my leisure, you he-lped me Spendfhe hours' and what ley we had building castles in the air, ama ' - Ssmg magle fOr1iL1Hes, and how much I depended on you to Weaxi these myeifie SPel1S I never 'knew till after we had parted. ' 11 3 ef, when the rainy days of flunks, disappointments and d1s- gmces Came' you, Qld Pipe, proved my truest friend, and I fear, yes ' 180 Q know, that I imposed upon you, but you never complained, and when life seemed unendurable, you, thru your soothing incense, banished from my mind every care by that subtle art of which you alone are master. . Two years' have passed, it seems a score, since you were .laid away in your snug casket, and pl-acedt in a niche just above my reach. Did I -offend, or did yo-u -desert? Ch no !, A renaissan-ce in college life had come, a change in government, a change of kings, and you like all your fellows were declared to be the enemy and that is why we have become estranged. .In my heart I know the guilt cannot be charged to you. I defenfd you because you are dead. Dead!-but are you dead? VVhen I long for you to quiet my unsteady nerves and cool my troubled brain, I know you are not dead but exiled, and I am but denied. . As I gaze on you, My Friend, I perceive the marks of age, yes old age, your bowl is 'no longer white, but mellowed into brown, and I wonder if when I am old I shall be as well preserved as you, and if I shall have friends to appreciate me as I appreciate you. Your edges have grown ragged, beaten from many blows. And I ponder. Shall I carry these distinctive marks ofwlabor, or shall I be st-ooped, miserly and mercenary? Your amber stem wasonce- clear, but now it is clouded and discolored. Yes, Qld Pipe, you're old, but every added year your sweetness and our friendship grows - grows, alas, but only in memory.

His unusually long ears extended backward' with a peculiarly aggressive aspect, whileone eye was a little crooked and gave h1s whole face a sinister look, disconcerting in the extreme to any one but Major Pompous, his master. Sambo, the black driver, used to say with an expressive wag of his kinky head, Et I kin- only git to ,de one side ob dat mule, en not look at his haid or his heels, he's a fine lookin' ole cuss, but T'll' be doodaddled' ef I wants to see the likes o' his haid or feel the likes, o' them hind legs o' his'n.,' ' The Major, however, knew General jackson7s disposition -fairly- well, and was wont to treat him with the greatest respect, so that General jackson would hav-e had a warm spot in his heart for the Major, if mules could be said to possess such an organ. For the matter of that, anyone, human or animal, would have had a warm spot in his heart for the major, if he once penetrated the outer crust of pride and prejudice, down to the kindliness and' humanity, which constituted the bed-rock of his nature. Major' Pompous was a rabid partisan, a Southerner of the old scho-ol, with a kind but proud heart, bitter prejudice against the North, and a, little white goatee, which did not conceal the squareness of his chin. Perhaps it was that chin which first attached General jackson to-- the Major, for like seeks like in man or beast. ' A ,Af 31W fate, the Major and the General had found each others out in the Spanish-American war. The Major had singled out Gen- eral jackson, then only plain jack, from a large company of mil-- 1tary.mules, and had bestowed upon him-the name of his military' favorite - General jackson. - . General jackson's history was unknown. From his appearance it was impossible to- telljust how old he was - there was a rumors that he had been through the civil war-but at any rate he was a. very sedate and venerable mule. He had beenhw-ounded in the hip ft Sam1agO, 501116 533' by 21 Cannon ball, and the wound had never! leelledi but had left 2111 OPCU, Very tender spot. This proved to-be General J3CkSO1'1,S thorn in the flesh, for, when his drivers found' o11ly effectual me.ans of makings out his ailment, they used' it as the him move faster. ' - After the WHY, the Major had taken General jackson ho-me 'CO'- hie eOuUtfY'PlHCC in Virginia, not far from Richmond. Being a hale-f and hea t ' - t T Y SPCCIIHCI1 Of mule-kind, hegwas soon put to work. This indigmty-for such he regarded it-rankled the soul of Generali 182 jackson. His tasks were the usual hard work for animals about a large Southern plantation. But m-ore distasteful than the mere toil, were the associations he was bound to keep. He was yoked with a common ordinary civilian mule, and driven by a black man, two things, which as an armylmule and a Southerner the. General re- solved within his mulish mind he could not and would not stand. 1 Sambo, the black driver, was unusually mischievous even for a negro boy, and his chief delight seemed to be to tease General jack? son. During the noon, hour, when General jackson was hot and tired, he would lean over the fence, and, with the end of a riding whip would prod his sore spot, and-then, whenlhis heels flew out, Samfbo would jump back and laugh with great glee. General Jack- son's angry passions smouldered within his breast, but he patiently bided his time. ' - One day, in accordance with the Major's orders, Sambo took the two mules into the city toi the wagon repair shop. General jack- son had thunder in his eye, and murder in his heart, for worse than all other insults put together Sambo rode, not upon the civilian mule, but upon the General himself. .The General's thoughts were bent upon revenge. His long ears were laid back, his tail switched violently back and forth, and his hind legs every now and then gave a hitch, nearly sending Sambo flying. - The repairing done, home they came, the civilian mule cau- tiously keeping a decided distance away, and Sambo determined to- ride dat mule or bustff . All went well until the home gate was reached. Samfbo leaped oH, glad in his heart, that he had reached home alive, but bound to 'show his power over the now seemingly meek mule, and to dis- tinguish himself in the eyes of the Major, who was just coming down the walk. Taking the whip, he viciously prodded the Gen- eral in his sore hip. ' What happened exactly the Major never could tell. A great cloud of dust obscured his vision but when itfcleared away, Gen- eral jackson was standing Hat attention, ears erect, tail stiff, hind legs quivering. Hurrying past the mule, the Major described on a paling of the fence, what looked like a limp scare-crow, consisting -of a mass of faded blue jeans, surmounted by a ragged cap, from all of' which a cloud of steam was rising, as if the whole had just been wrung out of hot water. And that was all that was left of Sambo. N. B.-The kick of a mule is not ordinarily so disastrous, but it must. be remembered that General jackson was a government mule., Eunice Mason Smith, 'I2. 183 Perry These pages still would something lack To make their tfales complete, If nought were said a-boutthe man ' Who furnishes the heat.

QL 186 First Meeting of the Honor Council . Say, what's up P I wonder who's on the carpet now! I'll bet they won't do anything! Gee, this is fierce. I I Y The above remarks were but a few of the many arising from a crowd of excited students, gathered about the college hall. A meet- ing of the Honor Council had been called, and it was rumored that at last there was to be something doing. Behind' the closed doors' of Room I was gathered the cause of the excitement-and perturba- tion, and from the gloomy countenances and portentious remarks of' the various members of the council it was possible to conjecture that there was weighty business on hand. The meeting will please come to order, remarked President Warren. Say, how are we to go -about this business anyhow. I don't see what anyone wanted to raise such a fuss about. The blame chickens are paid for now, came dolefully' from the lips of Russell Brown. g A What,s it all about .anyhow ? simpered Mary Armstrong. I At this point Freshman Dickey rose to his full, six feet two- inches. As he opened his whiskered lips,'a feeling of awe and ex-A pectancy settled upon the assembled council, until even Olive Bra- ham became quiet. Fellow students, he began. tithe case is just this. Two nights, as I la-y peacefully sleeping the sleep of the just, I heard a terrinc squawking in the back yard. The thought flashed upon my mind that somescoundrel was purloining some- pullets from Miss Sha1Cfer's hen roost. I leaped to the window, and in the moonlight I recognized the persons of D. C. I-Iankey, Hervey Henry, Red McD-onald, Io-hn Manson-, 'Qrviflle' Walker, - VVell. you neednlt think I'll vote to expel Walker, interrupted' Clive Braham, I think he's a perfect dear ! Brainerd Jamison, 'Liz' Porterfleld, and Phil Love, went on Dickey calmly ignoring the interruption. I returned to bed and in the morning informed Miss Shaffer who collected SI apiece for all' the chickens stolen. I felt,,however, that this body has been a fig- urehead long enough, and so took it upon myself to lay the matter' before the council.

As she arose she seemed the very incarnation 'of avenging wrath. Mr, President, she be- gan, I don't think we ought to do anything to these boys. There ought to have been a better lock on that coop, and those yellow chickens that have been running around would be a temptation to anybody, and-I-k-'know John didn't intend to go out with that crowd when he left me that evening and-and-l' I-Iere the terrible strain proved too much, and the speech ended in tears. W Mr. President, piped up Russell Brown, every hair of his scrubby black shock on end, it strifkesme the Freshmen are getting too fresh when one of them calls together this august body to raise a fuss about chickens after thechickens have been paid for. In the good old days such a thing would never have happened. My brother told me he never thought off paying for an-ything that it took so much trouble to lift. Anyway the-chickens were tough- that is, I heard they were-and there's no use raising any fuss about it. I Mr. President, and again Dickey unfolded his elongated form, I want to say that when I was ,elected to this position of trust and honor by the Freshman Class, I firmly resolved in my innermost heart to do my duty. Unless some drastic measure is taken, the standard of morality of this institution will be as low as that of Slippery Rock or Rennerdale. When a bunch of fellows will steal chickens before the eyes of a fellow student and not have the de- cency to offer said student as much as a wishbone or a gizzard, it is time to- .

R.S Not in the Curriculum I. Four birthday letters from home to Elizabeth, a popular and prominent junior at college. My Dear Elizabeth: 1 To-morrow is your birthday, and I wanted to send you some .small remembrance, so decided to send you a copy of The Power of Purpose. I thot that something of this kind would do you more good than almost anything else, for when girls are in college, there are so many amusements and social affairs, that they are apt to neglect their spiritual needs, which are at all times most important. I want you to remember' that mere book learning is a poor thing indeed unless it strengthens our faith. I hope that you do not al- low your studies and social functions to crowd out your hours of meditation and religious and charitable work. I suppose, of course, you go to all the meetings, during the period of evangelistic services. Twenty or thirty minutes a day is so little to spare, and surely you do not begrudge your President the extra time he takes in the morning at Chapel. You should be glad of the opportunity to hear him so often. I am glad he do-es preach about hell and the devil, Young people need to know about them. They are so careless nowadays. ' You have much unoccupied time, I know. Let me suggest a plan for your evenings after your recitations and dinner are over. First, spend an hour and a half in prayer, reading, and quiet medita- tion. Then, read a chapter in this book I have sent you, and then spend the remainder of the evening in making little useful presents for the city hospitals. I am sure this would be a profitable way of spending your evenings -and you. would get much more satisfaction out of them th.an you do working at those Argo and Holcad things at seem so utterly useless. And you say you are on the House Committee at the I-Iillside. VVell, I wish you would resign from that, since it is simply an organization for fun, and spend your time more profitably. Now do write soon and ll te me how my plan works out and how you like my little book. you talk so much about and th Your loving aunt, Mrs. I. K. Eastman. . P. S.-I am so glad you are President of the Y. VV. C. A. 'It will do you good. Be sure to do your duty. Mrs. I. K. E. 190 p X fx' 'My Dear Beth : ' ' . I sent you a small package, yesterday, containing a few little things, I thot you would like. Those shirt:-waists embroidered in the colors are the latest thing and so are the belts. Sara Boyd is just home from Paris, and she wears the prettiest lavender emf b1'01dC1'Cd W31S'C, but I 'think you will look great in the pink one with the belt to match. I sent you a new rat, because it is impos- sible to get your hair up right if your rat is old. I also sent .you so-me puffs and a hair-net. They make the hair look so much more stylish. And I do ho-pe you will like the party wrap. My dressmaker spent a good deal of time on it. I thot you would like to have one .since you are a Junior now. I Elizabeth, don't neglect your French and dancing. Daisy says they donlt teach dancing at Smith, so I suppose they don't at West- minster, either,-that seems so funny, but couldn't you go in to Pittsburg once -a week' and take a lesson? It is such an advantage for a girl to be able to dance nicely. There was a report out that several VVestminster students had been found dancing and were put on limits for a month, but I am sure it isnlt true,.for how could there be any objection to dancing? I have been dancing all my :life and it has never phased me in the least. 'But if you are forced to drop it there, just go into the City and keep in practice. You could stop at your uncle's and it would be a nice change for you. I don't want you to get like your Aunt Mary Eastman, I want you to keep right up with the world and enjoy life. I wish you hadn't dropped your music, but then you will have more time for calling and attending to social functions. Don't for- get to call on those old friends of mine, who live there and do be nice to Mrs. Hunt's daughter, for you know this is her first year away from home. Get her into your literary society if you can. It's the Chrestomath, isn't it? They are such a nicefamily that I want you to do all you can for Ruth. H You d-ofn't seem to -have very much going on in the social line, this year. VVh'at's wrong? I Your banquets, for one thing, must -have been lovely, but how perfectly ridiculous that you weren t allowed to dance! What did' you do after you finished eating? Sit around with folded hands? The dining-room certainly must have looked lovely and the girls, too. Well I -am invited out to four o'clock tea and it is now two, so I must close. Don't forget to write and 'EC11 me all about your doings at school. Lovingly, I Aunt Alice. 191 I l iv Dear Qld Kiddo: - How was the box of goodies we sent yesterday? We had lots of fun getting it ready, and I hope everything will be good. I baked I the cake and roasted the chicken all myself! See what a line cook I I'm getting to be! ' , But I'm just crazy about go-lf and basketball. -I am so sorry ' you don't have golf-links at Westminster. You will be all out of practice. 'But you 'be sure to keep up your basketball so you will be a fine player when you come home. That was an awful close game you played at New Wilmington with Pittsburg I-Iigh. You I l must have improved since you played them at Pittsburg. And to think that those two are the only games you get to play with other schools! Well, you'll get .to play so-me when you come home for we are going to have two or three games, Easter vacation. I I am glad you are going to have a coach for the baseball team. Maybe they will win one or two- games, this year. f Now, Betty, dear, be sure and w-rite to us, every Sabbath. We are so anxious to hear.from you and surely you don't have so much to do, you canft write that often. Yofumigh-t stay at home from. church once in a while and write. I hope you don't try to attend all. those evangelical services. It wouldn't hurt you .to go occasionally, P but don't go all thetime. You need some exercise. VVell, au revoir. f Write soon.

' ,So the Flag-rush 'long with others, Was quickly under bang - 'T'was said that one who'd do such things Was surely not a man. n But the class of nineteen-twelve, In dehance of the rule, Put up their emblem, green and white, Then made it known in school. The husky host of nineteen-,leven Their numbers soon corralled, And a conference quite serious On the Keystone porch was held. But .all their schemes were-frustrated, As quickly there appeared The Doctor, with his mandate, Greatly to be feared.

' . QSEALJ ARGO STAFF. Advice to New Students Don't ask what subject Smiley teaches just because you hear him called Doc, Likewise, Brainerd Jamison is not a memfber of the Faculty even if he is frivolous and good looking. Station Agent Smith, at the junction, requests us to ask that, up-on entering the Union Station at that place on your way to school you do not call him Dr. Veazey and try to payhim your tuition. For those who intend taking any w-Ork in the English Depart- ment we recommend the 'purchase of a ,IO.AfgO, as this volume will be used as a model for all written workin that department. There are several cinch courses -open to Freshmen, viz: Al: gebra, German, French and Greek. Be sure to have at least three of these subjects, on your schedule, as you will then have time t-o listen to the brief UD chapel speeches and to see something of New VVilmington before the Holidays. Before coming to Wilmington lay in a good supply of station- ery, pens, and pencils, as there are only two- stores in town in which these articles are not c.arried in stock. . A Also when purchasing anything from our stores, remembelt that the New Vlfilmington price is ,less than that of any other place on the map, not even excepting Sears, Roebuck 8: Co. QI-Ixtractlfrom the Globej. This is especially applicable to prices made to students. As there is no hazing at 'Westminster, say or do 'anything you wish to the old students. We are all a bunch of lambs-and will not retaliate if imposed upon. CAsk Tiltonj. In case an upper class- man enters your room and turns a sofa-cushion wrongside up, re- port it to the ofhce immediately, as it is only by this method that you can get ini' right with your fellow students. ' Wfher. your class organizes don't feel sore if you are not even nominated for an office, for perhaps you have neglected to tell your fellow classmen that you were p-resident of 'the H. S. graduating class at home and are therefore thoroughly qualified for any posi- tion. Boys, if you haven't decided before coming to town which club you are going to favor with your presence, go to the Hillside until you have time to look around. Don't be backward about eating with the girls, as you will have to get used to it sooner or later. Don't try to buy the Sunday Edition -of your home paper, or Reymer's chocolates at the Chemistry stock room as it is not a drug store. If you want to earn a little extra money and thus surprise papa 204 ' by not writing him for aid very often, you can by applying to Dr Veazy, -obtain employment as ticket seller or motorman on his New Castle-New Wilmington and northward trolley line. If you play any sort of musical instruments jew,s harp included, join the Adelphia Orchestra at onceg they practice frequently and thus furnish a good excuse for not prepar- ing hard lessons. Your services to the collegenare always ap- preciated. W ' g Q You should attend Junior Orations and pay strict attention, for they are frequently discussed in some of the classes, as models for public speeches, and you are supposed to have had some previous knowledge of all subjects discussed. , mouth organ or 6, ' N: i' fgiq -in , nf . 2 .uw . ull IH 'hal 1 ik 205 Chemistry If you've never studied chemistry, Youive missed a lot of fun, And lost some information.

Little did we think as we left the quiet little burg for our Easter vacation that a plot had been laid that would cause so much excitement -on our return. This is how it happened. An idea had by some chance found- its way into the head of a Sophomore. To be sure, it was not an original 'idea but that could not be expected. Having strolled to the solitude of McKinley Heights for the purpose of ,enjoying his usual CPD smoke a certain Sophomore happened to see 'ha large and curiously shaped stone. It was of red granite and' weighed two or three tons. Many years ago it had been shaped by some class whic-h intended to place it on the campus as a memorial but had failed to carry out the idea. Our friend, the Sophomore, thinking to do something to perpetuate the nam-e of his class when 'fHewey . could no longer sing its praises, conceived the idea of carrying to completion the abondoned enter- prise. Hence our story. V ' 1 The morning of March thirty-first saw -the huge granite boulder in- position on the' campus about forty feet from the no-rth-west corner of the main College Building. The plan had been executed by the male members of the Sophomore class' who remained in town during vacation. After several hours hard work and with the as- sistance- of three teams of horses they saw the stone suitably placed. When the stone ma-son had fitly inscribed it their pride knew no bounds. They were the first class to perform such a feat since the Class of '76, Imagine their satisfaction as they viewed this beauti- ful monument to their glory so conspicuously placed. When the special train brought the returning students in the evening. the stone was proudly displayed. But alas, their pride was soon to suffer a fall. The Freshmen soon decided that this act ofthe Sophomores could not be Ovefiooiqed andbegan to whisper among themselves. The Sophs, realizing that moral suasion would have no effect on the Freshmen. decided to keep guard thru -the night. Posting a watch they lay down to sleep in the College Chapel. Scene at Midnight of April Fool's Day. The moon is looking down on a peaceful campus that gives no hint of approaching confiict. The Sophs, excepting those on watch, are Sleeping soundly -on the hard seats of the Ch'apel. The Blair ' ' ' f th House O11 the other hand, is the scene of suppressed activity or e 213 Freshies have gathered and are laying their plans. At 12:30 they quietly approach the campus and await the -signal. This is given, there is a quick dash across the grass and the stone is theirs.. A pistol shot rings out.. The 'sleeping Sophomores are aroused and swarm from the windows but -only to leap into the arm-s of numer- ous Freshmen. For a quarter of an hourthey struggle desperately but are finally overcome and, bound hand and foot, are laid out on the-portico to cool. The Freshmen are now able to- begin opera- tions. With pick and shovel they prepare a grave for the offending stone while the moon looks down in wonder at the scene. V Notwithstanding' the ardorwith which the Freshmen worked it was nearly three hours before the grave was ready and the glory of IQII dropped out of sight with a thud. A bunch of upper class- men and preps, awakened by the unusual noise, were interested and amused spectators. The captives were bound and guarded but they frequently 'broke the monotony with attempted escapes. Conway, indeed, finally br-oke his bonds and vanished in the darkness at a wonderful rate of speed. Williamson, too, -seated in the doorway, managed to free himself and disappeared into the dark hallways of the building. After these two escapes the Sophs were taken into a recitation room and more closely watched than before, but even here Bob Russell and Happy Martin managed to get together and loosen their bonds., Their dash for liber-ty, however, was unsuccess- ful and they were tied up o-nce more. Finney, with his legs tied to- gether, hopped back into the darkness of the halls but was found and brought back. These incidents served to heighten the excite- ment and amuse the onlookers., After the burial ceremonies the Sophs were taken out to view what the Freshmen had accomplished. Then, in order toy make their triumph more complete, the Class of ,I2 marched their captives over to the Hillside and gave their class yellsfor the benefit -of the ladies. Realizing that their work was well done and the night well spent the Sophs were released and all dispersed to their homes. We understand that the Sophomores intend to bring their mon- ument to light once more and as we send our Annual to press we are confident that interestin future. gdevelopments will arise in the near 214 A I3 G. :I Z!

' Glnnrimi nf Stung g The College is co-educational, affording five courses of study:-Classical, Scientific, Philosophical, Music and Art. The Classical course, while empha- sizing languages and literature and the subjects of special interest in professional, life, gives a good share ol attention to Science in its various branches, so as to furnish foundation for the broadest culture. The Scientific course is wide in scope and administered with a laboratory equipment which enables students to prepare with great throughness for post?-graduate worlc. The philosophical course, while giving special attention to Philosophy and History, includes Ped- agogics and History of Education, and is especially adapted to those contem- plating the profession of teaching. In Music and Art, credit is given toward graduate worlc in the Academic department, it being recognized that both of these have a culture value worthy of place in the curriculum of the College- course. Uhr Glnllvgv nf Munir A great forward movement has been made in the department of Music.. Under the masterly leadership of Prof. William Wilson Campbell, the foun- dation is being laid for a great Musical Conservatory. The new building for College of Music contains thirty-eight rooms for teaching, practice and conf cert purposes, its architecture' and interior decorations harmonizing with the aims of culture. Steinway and'Mehlin Grand pianos' are used by all teachers, and Kurtzmann Upright pianos' in all practice rooms. To secure the best re- sults, no practice piano is retained longer than two years.
