It is with reluctance, but with deep devotion to the old College, that the class of '96 has undertaken the publication of a College Annual. Such a Work has never before been at- tempted at Westminste1'g and the success of this effort will, doubtless, largely govern any future attempt. If We can convince you, our reader, as to the motives that ..p1:o.mp.ted.us--to..undertakeet-he-'publicat-ion of this Annual. We shall risk its merits to your approval. In our brief careers, We have witnessed the College struggling' to maintain its position among the leading colleges of the land, While at the same time it was turning out men of the very highest type-men Who were taking their posi- tions high up in the counsels of church and state. Among her sons are many who are ranking above those of other institutions With double the enrollment and three times the cndowmcnt Xl e are also mindful of the able men who ha l b - d 1 ve a oie ong and with meager compensation for the Colleoe, and those who stood by it so faithfully in its critical moments. Xl ith these facts before us we can not but believe that mer't V11 ' ' . ' f ' X xxliuc it ilolitfullv belongs. Some have found fault with th 1 vu Win, and VVCStI'I11l1SIC1'XV1ll yet take its ranl' e management and censured the instructors, but these 4 , are the men that have Uborne the burden in the heat of the day. And, although other brows may Wear the laurels, these will always be honored as the Paul and Apollos that have planted and watered. It was when the present honored president began his efforts to extend the infiuence and increase the efficiency of the College that the interest of the class of '96 was aroused. YVe saw the alumni of the College organizing associations at Kansas City, St. Louis, and Sedalia, to advance the interests of the College. NVe saw our president putting forth every effort to enlist the sympathy and aid of the community and state at large in behalf of the College, and to raise a fund for additional buildings on the campus. It was under these circumstances, at the beginning of our senior year, that the class of '96 began to cast about to see what part we could take in this great work. Following the custom of many eastern institutions, we decided to issue a College Annual-a book that should contain all the facts and faces, of interest, connected with the College. XVe have labored hard to present to Fulton and the state at large,WVestminster College in book form. How far our efforts have been successful we leave others to judge. We do not expect future generations to 'trise p up and call us blessed, hut if we have succeeded in establishing a tie that shall bind new and old students and . friends to the College, and thus promote the welfare of our dear Alma Mater, we shall feel amply repaid for our p efforts. May T1-112 SEARCI-I LIGHT reveal to the world everything of interest concerning XVestminster College, and p may she ever stand as a shining shaft, illuminating the minds of generations yet unborn. i H 'I 2,-Q an I A f . . .

In session in Fulton, Missouri, October 1852, the Synod selected Fulton as the place for the college, being induced thereto by the offer of 315,000 in money, eighteen acres of land and buildings valued at S5,oo0, and 320,000 in scholarships. This offer was made largely through the leader- ship, energy, and infiuence of Rev. XV. W. Robertson, then in charge of the Presbyterian church in Fulton. The charter for the College was secured February 23, 1853. Prof. Williaxn Van Doren was the first man elected as a professor in the College and the first session of the College began in May, 1853. The cornerstone of the main building was laid July 4, 1853, Dr. Nathan L. Rice delivering an address on that occasion. The first catalogue of the College was issued for the year 1853-54. It shows three professors, viz. : Wfilliam Van Doren, S. S. Laws, Thomas D. Baird, one tutor, James G. Smith, and one hundred and fourteen students. In 1855 Rev. S. S. Laws became the Hrst president of the College, which that year had a corps of five pro- fessors. The following have held the oliice of President of the College: 1855-1861, Rev. S. S. Laws, D. D., LL.

The College has had to contend with great financial hindrances. Its original plan of endowment was by scholarship notes. Mainly by this plan the endowment was raised nearly to ElS100,000 before the civil war. VVhen the war closed, many of these notes were found to be worthless, and the College became seriously involved in debt, in part by the board borrowing from its permanent fund to maintain itscontingent fund, and partly by borrowingfrom other sources. Vigorous efforts were made through financial agents to increase the endowment and remove the debt. Among these agents who did faithful and successful worli may be mentioned Rev. John Faris and Rev. Robert Morrison. It was by the heroic toil of the last named that a burdensome debt was removed and the College started on a new financial career. At various times and from various sources the College has received financial gifts of considerable value. Among these may be mentioned that of Abraham VVayland, valued, at the time, at E1S20,000, from Mrs. E. E . Le Bourgeois, for her father, Mr. Joseph Charless, S20,000, Mr. Edward Bredell paid off a debt of 56,000 on the College property, Mrs. Mary McPheeters left the College El56,000g Mr. C. Trigg Campbell gave 34,2703 Eugene .Taccard gave 33620, Miss .lane A. Thompson left the College 32,0005 Mrs. Cyrus McCormick, of New York, and Mr. NViIliam Thau, of Pittsburg, each gave the College fliI,OOO. It is, however, to Mr. XVm. Sausser, of Hannibal, Mo., that the College owes its largest gift, that of SI25,000. The College has now, as endowment, about SB2oo,o00. It has buildings and grounds valued at S50,0oo. These last it owes almost entirely to the citizens of Fulton and Callaway county. The College has aided in the education of some thousands of young men, and has graduated 175, many of whom are to-day occupying high positions in every department of life. II SAJIIUEL SPAHR LATVS, D. D., LL. D I2 SAMUEL SPAHR LAWS, A. M., D. Di., M. D., LL. B., LL. D. BORN in Virginia, his ancestors of Southern blood for generations back, educated at Miami University, of'Ohio, graduating valedictorian of his class in 18483 taking next the theological course of Princeton Seminary, serving for a short period in the regular work of the ministry, as pastor in St. Louis, then holding for one year the chair of physical sciences in VVestminster College, then called to its presidency, which post he filled with distinguished success, resigning soon after the breaking out of the Civil Wrarg spending the next few years in Europe in studyg then returning to New York, vice-president of the Gold Exchange, and showing as much ability as a business man as he had formerly displayed as a scholar and educator, in 1876, called to the presidency of the State University of Missouri, which place he held for thirteen years, the greatest period in the history of the University, resigning in I889, and spending the next few years in semi-retirement in Kansas City, then elected to the Perkins Chair of 4'Natural Science in connection with Revelation, and Christian Apologetics in the Theological Seminary of Colum- bia, South Carolina, which position he is now holding. Such is the bare outline of the life of this remarkable man. But few lives have been more diversihed in experiences. He is of remarkable physical strength, and still greater mental ability. The world has been his book. He has gone through the whole range of the sciences and philosophy. He has graduated-from both law and medic'al'sch0ols, pursuing both these lines of study, not professionally, but with a View to mastering what they had to say on the great questions of thought. U Besides his remarkable and versatile abilities, his chief characteristics are great self-confidence and an over- mastering will. He was president of Westmiiistei' College from 1855 to 1861. During this time the College took a high rank among western institutions for thoroughness, breadth, and high standard of scholarship, which reputation it has ever maintained. This high and ambitious beginning was due in no small degree to the wide extent of Dr. Laws' own scholarship and his great executive abilities. The State University of Missouri, under his administration, leaped from the rank of a second-rate school to that of one of the great institutions of the country. The number of students increasd from about 300 to 850. In every direction courses of study were widened, greater thoroughness, and a higher standard of work were obtained, and the general tone of the institution was improved and developed. His students all bear test?mony to his unusual qualifications as a teacher. Some of Westminste1 s most honored sons were graduated under his administration, His bow still abides in strength, and many useful years, let us hope, are still before him. I3 REV. JOHN JVIONTGOJIIERY, D n I+ REV. JOHN MONTGOMERY, D. D. , h tl THE Rev. Dr. John Montgomery was born in Danville, Kentucky, 'Octobeii-6, 1810. Graduated from Center College in 18353 studied at Princeton Theological Seminary two years, entering the work of the ministry in 1858. His Hrst charge was the Harrodsburg church,,in Kentucky, which he served for seventeen years. During this time he established, and successfully maintained, a female seminary at Harrodsburg. In 1857 he removed to Missouri, where he took charge of the first church of Pettis county, where he remained till the war. During the war he preached in St. Louis, in Fulton, and in general evangelistic work. In 1864 he was called to the presidency of WVestminster College. Never was there a darker time in the history of the College. On the t'border,', the state a prey to both North and South, its endowment swept away, the confusion of war raging around, it was no light task to which he was called. He held the position for a little over a year, resigning in October, 1865. But in that short time he had labored nobly, and had endearedhimself to all connected with the institution. In 1865 he organized the First Presbyterian Church of Sedalia, which he served for six years, except for a time when he was disabled by a fall. Then for varying periods he preached at Independence, lNIarshall, Sweet Springs, Brownwood, Lamonte, and at his old charge, Harrodsburg, Ky., and Longwood, Mo, In 1877, after returning from the General Assembly, he was prostrated with sickness, since which time he has not been able to do regular pastoral work. I-le still resides with his family at the old home, near Longwood, and, although feeble, still retains his old time spirit and faculties to a remarkable degree. He was one of the pioneers of Presbyterianism in Missouri. The early church of the western states was planted under difficulties. Some of the noblest men and women of America labored at her foundations. And one of her brightest names is that of Dr. Montgomery. An able preacher, devout, earnest, he was always singularly successful in winning souls and in endearing himself to all his flock. And like the work of true Presbyterianism everywhere his labors were enduring. Not the gathering of numbers, but the building up of devout, spiritual, godly men was his aim. His work at VVestminster, while short, was of great good to the College, and no. one of its presidents was more loved and more highly regarded by faculty, board, and students than he. H The life and work of this grand man a1'e held in reverence by all who know him. A scholar, an orator, a noble, Christian gentleman, loyal to his lVIaster, zealous in His service, strong in his convictions of duty, with the tender affections of a woman. this man of God is respected and loved by allf' I5 'Wx' 1 x 3 X Q ., .4 NATIIAN L. RICE, D. D 16 -wi., T.-..,, NATHAN L. RICE, D. D. U THE space allotted for this sketch is too limited to portray the life, or delineate the character, of such a man as Nathan Lewis Rice, D. D. It is indeed a travesty upon the grandeur of so great a life and upon Work so diversi- fied, so enduring, and so glorious to be compressed Within any bounds. On the twenty-ninth day of December, ISO7, in Garrard county, Kentucky, Dr. Rice Hrst saw the light of life. At the age of sixteen, with a longing de- sire for an education, he began to teach in order to earn money to enable him to attend college. .He declined the tendered assistance of two wealthy brothers in Danville, because he had a free and independent spirit and deter- mined to secure his purposes by his own labors, At the age of eighteen, when a student of Centre College, it pleased God to reveal His blessed Son to him and his career was taken, and from it he never departed, his single and sole desire was service for Christ, and his only inquiry was, like Saul of Tarsus, t'Lord, what .Wilt thou have me to do P At the expiration of the first year at college, he was compelled, from therwant of means, to abandon the fur- ther prosecution of his studies. He had gained the confidence of the faculty by his ability, diligence, and Hdelity, and just as he was riding out of town, a messenger was sent recalling him and offering him the position of princi- pal of the preparatory department. He accepted, and by teaching during the day and studying at night, he fin- ished his course, giving intimation at this early date in his life of his amazing power for work. He studied theology for one year under Dr. Gideon Blackburn, president of Centre, College, when he received a call to preach, and, although urged by friends to accept, yet he declined, not believing that he had the ability and grace to do so, and as he felt that the foundation had not been suliiciently laid, he spent two years infcompleting his theological studies at Princeton, 1 A . C , In 1832, at the age of twenty-five, he entered on his first pastoral charge at Bardstown, Kentucky. He estab- lished a school for girls while teaching in the male academy and founded and edited with singular skill and masterly ability the PVesz'e1fn Heffald, and at the same time engaged in a. triumphant controversy with the priests of the Romish church. -In IS4O he accepted a call to Paris, and while assisting his brethren, as if he would never tire, I7 5 2 he went to Nashville and debated there on theological questions with Dr. Fanning. Afterward, in 1843, the great oral debate with Dr. Alexander Campbell occurred at Lexington. Cnr nation is familiar with the masterly woik between these two intellectual giants. In the same year he was called to Cincinnati, to take charge of a colony from the first Presbyterian church. This he built up to be the leading church in that city, edited the P7'6S6j'Zi67'Z'CZ7Z and wrote '-Romanism not Christianity, 4'God Sovereign and Man Free, a work on HPhrenology and hrlesmer- ism and the 'Old and New School Theology, as well as had a discussion with Mr. Pingree on '4Universalism, and with Rev. Dr. Blanchard on t'Slavery., and, as if this was not enough to tax his energies, he established a theological seminary. This he continued to do for ten years, until he was urged to go to St. Louis. in 1853. Here the multiplicity of his labors continued. All of hisitime, all of histhoughts and powers were consecrated to the services ot the Master. Here, in addition to the cares of a large and growing church, he published a work on '-llaptism, one on f'Tl1e Signs of the Times, and edited the Si. Louis P1'e.s'6yz'e1'z'cz1z. In 1835, he was Moderator of the General Assembly, at Nashville. In 1857, he was called to the North Presby- terian Church, Chicago, which grew in numbers, faith, and grace under his ministry. He was the founder of and professor in McCormick Theological Seminary, which was endowed by Cyrus lVIcCormick, and edited the Expos- ffar. In 1861, his health failing, he gave up these labors so dear to him and went to the Fifth Avenue Church, the largest and richest Presbyterian church in New York City. Here he labored with his usual Hdelity and zeal until his ministry suddenly ceased by prostration of health. In 1869 he came to Fulton as president of Wiestminster College. XYhilst here, besides his duties as president, he preached in the church and published two Works, one upon 'tSpiritualism, the other upon 4'The Immortality of the Soul. Here he was until 1874, when he resigned and took the place of Chief Professor in the Seminary at Danville, Kentucky. He remained here in the faithful discharge of his duties, although in feeble health, up to June, 1877, when he left for his home in Fulton. Cn the way. by reason of his complete prostration, he was taken to Augusta, Kentucky, and there on the eleventh of June, 1877. this truly great and good man was transfigured by glory into an angel of light. Q - lt may truly be said of him, as of his great prototype, that he was Hin labors more abundant. 4'His long life was one of marvelous and manifold activity. ' He was the trenchant debater, the keen, critical editor, the clear, 18 rffmhmwmz fy. . s ix 3 logical author, the impressive and inspiring professor, and preeminently the preacher of the blessed gospel, With a simplicity and sweetness of method, a transparency of analysis, a force of logic, and a pathos of persuasion, scarcely equaled and never excelled. And the doctrines of grace which he so luminously expounded and so ably defended with tongue and pen, found more striking illustration in the admirable consistency and almost childlike simplicity of his long and laborious life. I9 Ill. JI. FISIIER, D. Il 20 MICHAEL MONTGOMERY FISHER, D. D., LL. D. PRESIDENT, 1866-1870. IN PARKR county, Indiana, Qctober 8, 1834, of Scotch-Irish ancestry, Michael Montgomery Fisher was born. Reared on a farm, he attended district school and academies and Hanover College, from which, in 1855, he was graduated with the degree of B. L, and first honor. Designed by his father for the profession of law, Providence overruled this decision and made him an educator alike in the pulpit and from the teacher's desk. Accepting, in 1855, the offer of a professorship in VVestminster College, he began his life work with an enthusiasm for humanity that only grew and deepened with the coming years. 1-Ie was elected,. the following year, to the professorship of Latin and Greek. VVhile teaching he pursued a theological course, and, in 1859, was licensed to preach by the Presby- terian church and the following year ordained. Through the dark days of the Civil Weir' he labored at his post, on meagre salary and amid many trials, to prevent even a temporary suspension of college work. From 1866 to IS7O he served as chairman of the faculty and acting president of Westminstei' College. From 1870 to 1874 he was president of a college for young women at Independence, Missouri, and pastor of the Presbyterian church in that city. From 1874 to 1877 he was again professor in Westminste1', and from 1877 until his death, which took place February zo, 1891, he was professor of Latin in the University of Missouri, at Columbia. Part of this time he was pastor of the Columbia Presbyterian church, afterward he was chairman of the faculty and acting president of the University, filling all these positions with acceptability to curators, faculty, and students. Dr. Fisher was three times married: In 1856 to Miss Anna Atwood, of St. Louis, who died in 1864, in 1866 to Mrs. Bettie P. Cochran, who died in IS7ZQ in December, 1874, to Miss Eliza Gamble, daughter of.Iudge John XV. Gamble, of Audrain county, who. with Hve children, four of the last marriage, survives him. Few gentler, more lovable men have lived and labored than Dr. Fisher. A distinguished author, an effective preacher, an able educator, an ardent student, he was more than all, and, best of all, a lover of humanity. His friends were coextensive with his acquaintanceship, and in his death all who knew him felt deep, personal loss. YVhere he went he carried sunshine, and the good his busy, noble life has wrought will be known in its rich fullness only when the leaves of the Judgment Book unroll. 2I .

CHARLES CAMPBELL HERSDIAN was born in Lexington, Kentucky, June 16, 1838. His parents moved to Missouri and settled in Monroe county when he was a boy, His father was a- prosperous farmer and successful business man, and although he died when I-Iersman was young he had accumulated. suihcient property to liberally educate his children. In the beginning of his education, he was fortunate in having excellent teachers. When he had outgrown the home school he was sent away to Van Rensselaer Academy to prepare for college. Thence to VVestminster, where he spent four or five years and secured the degree of A. B., graduating in 1866 with the high- est honors of his class, which was a large and brilliant one. h ' YVhile in college he manifested the greatest enthusiasm in the performance of all duties, whether in class room or in the societies. He belonged to the Philologic and Religious Inquiry Societies. He was a favorite both with faculty and students, for he had those fine qualities of mind and character that still commend him wherever he is known. The year following his graduation, Dr. Hersman went to Princeton Theological Seminary where he attracted the attention of his professors and class by his remarkable recitations, especially when it was known that he came from a western college. He returned home in 1863 and was married to Miss Machette and accepted a chair in Carroll College, VViscon- sin, the same year, where he remained a short time, returning to take the chair of Greek in VVestminster, to which he had been elected. This chair he occupied continuously for the nearly twenty-five years of his connection with the college, adding during the last ten years the duties and office of president. In September, 1887, he became pro- fessor of New Testament Exegesis and Biblical Interpretation in the Columbia Theological Seminary. In 1888 was elected chancellor of the Southwestern Presbyterian University at Clarksville, Tennessee, from which place three years after, he was called to the chair of New Testament Exegesis in Union Theological Seminary, Hampden Sidney, Virginia. Dr. Hersman is a man of gentle, almost diiiident, disposition, a thoughtful and powerful preacher, and a superbly clear and able teacher. ' He certainly has no superior, and it is doubtful if he has an equal as a teacher in his d'epartment. His cordial and warm manner attaches his students to him in a way that few men can. He is, in point of service, next to the senior professor in Union Seminary. Among the many distinguished alumni of Westminster' College, none has brought more honor to his alma mater than Dr. Hersman. Two of the best institutions in this country have honored themselves by conferring upon him the degrees of Doctor of Divinity and Doctor of Laws. . I 23 IVILLIAJII HUGE IIIARQUESS, D. D 24 X WILLIAM Hoon MARQUESS, D. D. WILLIAM HOGE MARQUESS was born in Tennessee, February 22, 1854. He is the second son of Anne Lacy Hoge and William Henry Marquess. He belongs to a Virginia family which is not only Presbyterian, but has produced in its various branches many noted Presbyterian preachers, as the Hoges, Lacys, Brooks, Marquesses, and Smiths. His boyhood life was spentin Mississippi. He entered Westminster College, and took the A. B. degree in 1873. Pursuing privately his studies for the ministry, he was ordained November 25, 1875, in Keytesville, Mis- souri, where, in connection with Brunswick, he preached two years. In 1877 he was called to the pastorate of the church in Fulton, Missouri, he being then only twenty-four years old. This position he held for sixteen years. Under his ministry the church grew in numbers and into a breadth of work and inHuence far beyond anything in its previous history. He himself grew into a preacher of wonderful spiritual richness which grew out of an extraordi- nary knowledge of the Wo1'd of God and power to interpret it. In 1887 he was made president of Westminster' College, a position which he held till Iune, 1893. His man- agement of the College was attended with energy and success. This double work, however, in connection with his incessant private studies in several directions, specially in the line of languages, ancient and modern, was too much even for his vigorous constitution, and warned by persistent attacks of insomnia, he resigned. He was then called to the chairmanship of the faculty of the Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky, where he is still doing double work as professor of Old Testament Exegesis and professor of the English Bible and Bib- lical Theology, besides supplying the Crescent Hill church. ' Dr. Marquess received his Doctor's degree from Central College, Kentucky. His wife, Mrs. Margaret Mar- quess, is the daughter of the late Judge A. H. Buckner, of Mexico, Missouri. 1 25 I-91-in-1 EDW.41:D CLIFFORD GORDOLT, D. D 26 EDWARD CLIFFORD GGRDON, D. D. DR. GORDON was born in Richmond,Va., September, 1842.

In April, 1861, he joined the army of Virginia as a private soldier in the Richmond Howitzers, Capt. Geo. VV. Randolph, and with it entered the service of the Confederate States. In the winter of 1862-3 he vvas commissioned first lieutenant of artillery in the Provisional Army of the Confederate States, and was assigned to duty as an ordnance oflicer on the staff of Brigadier-General John Echols, with whom he served until the close of the vvar. In 1866-7 he taught a classical school in Rockbridge county, Virginia. For two years, during the presidency of Gen. RobertE. Lee C1867-QD, he served Washington College, now W'ashington and Lee University, as proctor, secretary of the faculty, and treasurer, at the same time pursuing his studies in mathematics. In 1869 he entered Union Theological Seminary, at Hampden Sidney, Virginia, Where he graduated in 1872. Having preached as a licentiate for a year, he was ordained by the Lexington Presbytery in June, 1872, and installed pastor of Leb- anon church.

His immediate ancestors were from Virginia. His parents were of the best type of the early pioneers who laid the foundations of the great civilization now developing in the Mississippi Valley. He was educated in a country school, at first, then in a private classical school near his home, then in Van Rensselaer Academy, and finally graduated from Nlarietta Col- lege, Marietta, Ohio, in 1859. Since then he has taught almost continuously. He was firstelected to the chair of Natural Science in 'Westminster College, in 1862, held the position three years, then taught in Marietta College three years, then in 1868 was re-elected to XVestminster, since which time he has taught continuously in this institution.

M., Ph. D. PROF. SCOTT was born in Monroe county, Missouri, September 22, 1842. His parents were Kentuckians and came to this state in 1829. Young Scott manifested a great desire to acquire a thorough education, and after a preparatory course in W7atsonis Seminary, at Ashley, Pike county, Missouri, he entered XVestminster College, and graduated in June, 1865. During his college course he had distinguished himself in mathematics and showed his very pronounced ability in that department, making a record pos- sibly the best ever made by any student of the college. Upon his graduation, a vacancy occurring in that department, Mr. Scott was placed in the chair and has continued uninterruptedly to discharge its duties since. The degree of Ph. D. was conferred on him by Hanover Col- lege, Indiana, in June, 1892. Dr. Scott is a tireless student and a profound scholar. His department is held upon the very highest plane, and young men who come under his instruction find in him a perfect encyclopedia of mathematical lore. He is clear and convincing as a teacher, a strict disciplinarian, and a genial gentleman. 29 iii - k iN ., it 1 JOIIN JAY RICE, J. JI., LL. B., LL. D. ' Du. Ricia, a son of the late Rev. N. L. Rice, D. D., was born in Paris, Kentucky, September 22, 1844. His father being pastor in Cincinnati., St. Louis, Chicago, and New York, young Rice received his preparatory school- ing in these places and graduated from the University of New York with marked honor and the degree of Bachelor ot Arts in 1864. Turning his attention to the law he attended the law school of Columbia University, New York City. llc was admittedito the bar, and received his diploma from the supreme court ot the state, and practiced law in New York City until 1869, when he received a call to the chair of English in XVestnninster College, which he still occupies, of which institution his distinguished father was then president, The degree of LL. PD. was conferred upon him by the University of Nlissouri in ISQII. 30 EDGAR HOGE MARQUESS, A. M. PROF. E. H. NIARQUESS was born in Tennessee. He comes of an old Virginia family. At eighteen years of age he graduated from Hampden Sid- ney College, Virginia, with the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and subsequently received, from the same institution, the Blaster of Arts degree. He entered the Confederate Army as a member of the t'Hampden Sidney Boys, a company made up of the students, and commanded by J. M. P. Atkinson, D. D., president of the college. Later in the war he served in the staff of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. He has followed the work of teaching ever since the war, conducting, first, a very successful private school in lVIississippi, and then in West Virginia. In 1882 he was called to the Latin chair in West- minster College, a position he has Hlled with satisfaction to the board of trustees, and profit to the student, ever since. Prof. Marquess possessesgin a marked degree, thoroughness, dignity, and helpfulness-three things of eminent fitness in the classroom. The man who goes through his hands is moulded into an accurate scholar, if he is capable of being moulded g the student is struck at once with his dignified and EDGAR HOCE1,I41f0UESS 1 M refined bearing, and he need not remain in his class room long to End 1 A 'N , I . . - that he is in every sense 'ttthe boy's friend -always ready in help and wise in counsel. Hrs discipline is perfect, so marked is this that a disturbance in his class room is an unknown thing. He commands at the Hrst the student7s respect, and this respect soon develops into warm attachment, thus rendering discipline, in the ordinary sense, an unnecessary thing. Fortunate is the teacher who can point to a following so genuine, or an enthusiasm so warm as that shown Prof. Marquess by his students. In addition to his duties in the Latin chair he is secretary of the faculty and assistant secretary of the board of trustees, in the latter of which positions there falls to him the very impor- tant duty of keeping the books and accounts ofthe college finances. His books show thorough qualincation for the work as they are models of accuracy, neatness, and business form. 31 1 1 1 l' i i 1 It 0 9 1 1 1 1 1 I 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 l . l i' if I .. l 1 1 1 1 1 1 4 1 ICIHIIIIFIJ STIHITIIEI?

D., VVAS born in VVashington county, Missouri, March 8, 1837. He was a son of Rev. John F. Cowan, originally from Pennsylvania, a highly educated clergyman of the Presbyterian church, and for over thirty years a leading minister of the denomination in southeast Missouri. , Dr. John F. Cowan, the subject of the present sketch, was educated for the ministry, and it was the desire of his father that the son should devote himself to this sacred calling. He took a regular course at Westminster College, Fulton, graduating there in 1857. He then went to Princeton Theological Seminary, New Jersey, where he took a theological course and graduated from that institution in 1861, some forty years after his father's graduation from the same seminary. Returning to Callaway county at the conclusion of his course at Prince- ton, he at once entered upon the pastorate of the Auxvasse Presbyterian church in this county, where he has ever since continued, now for over thirty-five years. He has also been clerk of the Presbytery of Missouri for some twenty-five years, and in 1881 was honored with the degree of Doctor of Divinity by Westininstei' College. He has served as a member of the exec- utive board of this college, and also as a member of the Fulton Female College board. JOHN FLEIIIING COTVAN, D. D. Dr. .Cowan has been a close, judicious student all his life, and is not only a man of superior general culture, but is one of the best read theologians in the state. As a minister, he is distinguished for'zeal and untiring indus- try in the discharge of the duties of his ministry, and as a speaker he is cultured, logical, and always interesting, freighting every sentence with a thought which challenges consideration. 'n A ' ' In 1888 Dr. Cowan was elected professor of Modern Languages in VVestminster College, which position he has successfully held to the present time. Besides classes in German, French, Spanish, and Italian, he now has a class in Hebrew. Dr. Cowan is an able instructor and a general favorite with the students and all who know him. 33 f 'Pm ILLYIEL SlI-'l.ll G.lGE, ,1 DANIEL SHAW GAGE, A. M. MR. GAGE was born at Calvay, now Robertsville, Franklin county, Missouri, August 3, 1863. In 1864 his father moved to Ohio, in 1865 to Illinois, and near the town of Macon M1'. Gage was reared. He was brought up on a farm and attended the district schools of the country until the age of eighteen, when he entered Westminste1', Where he was a brilliant and accom- plished student tor four years, graduating in 1889. During his college course he carried off the Latin, Biblical Essay, and Scholarship prizes. He was converted under the preaching of Dr. James H. Brookes, who assisted Dr. Marquess in a meeting during the college term. Deciding to study for the ministry, he entered McCormick Theological Seminary in Sep- tember, 1889. During his junior vacation in ISQO he Was elected to the chair of Greek Language and Literature in VVestminster College, being then only twenty-seven years old. , In filling this chair, the Board desired to secure some one Who would become as nearly as possible a duplicate of Dr. Hersman, Whose distinguished ability had brought such a reputation to the College. Mr. Gage was selected md the wisdom of the Board is apparent and their good judgment evident. Mr. Gage is a quiet man, a hard stu- dent and a successful teacher. He received his A. M. in course from VVestminster in 1892. 34 TVILLLIJI JJNES TVRIGHT, D. D., LL. D. WILLIAM JANES VVRIGHT, D. D., LL. D. DR. VV. J. WRIGHT was educated in the classical and mathematical schools of New England. He Was graduated from Union College in 1857, and from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1862. He subsequently, accompanied by his wife, spent tvvo years in Europe studying. In 1875 he began the publication of the mathematical tracts, which were intended to set forth in condensed form the principles and methods of modern mathematics, at that time but little known in this country. -He became a member of the London Mathematical Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He was elected professor in Wilson College, Lafayette College, and Westminster. , Inthe last named he has occupied the chair of Metaphysics since 1887. He has published numerous articles rela- tive to the subject of his department. Dr. Wright has been engaged in several pastorates. Since his retirement from the pulpit, he has confined his later work to philosophy. 35 'W IION. JOIINA. IIOCKADAY. I 36 HON. JOHN A. HOCKADAY. . BORN, reared, and educated in Callaway county and always living on the hill south of town, where his father settled seventy-live years ago, John A. Hockaday, at present holding the office of circuit judge, is one of the best known men in the state, and far and wide his reputation for being cool, levelheaded, able, and conscientious is gen- erally admitted. V His father, Irvine Hockaday, was one of the pioneers, and was the first circuit clerk of Callaway county, at a later period becoming one of the county judges. Both he and Mrs. Hockaday came from Kentucky before Missouri was a state, and their long, honorable, and prosperous career makes their names still familiar in Fulton. john A. Hockaday was educated at Westminster' College, and then studied law. He soon became attorney for the city of Fulton, and afterward built up a large and lucrative practice in this and adjoining counties. He has always been a democrat, and during the war, though quite young, his politics exposed him to the suspicion and enmity of some of the Federal commanders, but nothing beyond a brief imprisonmentwas iniiicted. Just after the war he was elected to the state senate, but the majority unseated him on the ground that he was under age. Receiving the nomination for attorney-general, when the state was hopelessly republican, he made democratic speeches in all parts of the state, making as gallant a Hght as though he expected to be elected. In 1872 he again received the democratic nomination for the same oflice, and was elected. His administration of his otiice was characteristic of the man and added lustre to his reputation. Later, he was again elected to the senate to represent Audrain, Boone, and Callaway counties. He at once took a leading part in the deliberations, serving on important committees, and being appointed one of the committee to revise the laws, at the close of the session. Twice he has been prominent as a candidate for the democratic nomination for governor, and on both occasions received a large and respectable vote. Five years ago, on the death of Judge Burckhardt, Gen. Hockaday was appointed circuit judge, and sub- sequently received the party nomination from a convention held at Moberly, Missotlri, and was elected without opposition. As a judge he is dignified, learned, and impartial. Few of his decisions are appealed from, and fewer still are reversed by the higher courts. He is an ornament to the bench and such is his reputation that he is ,frequently called upon to go out of his district and hear cases in other parts of the state. 37 alumni associations. THE pleasures and advantages of local alumni associations are so obvious that the ex-students of many, if not of all, of the older institu- tions of learning in this country have organized and maintained them for many years, and it is with satisfaction that we note that the students of 'vVestminster are beginning to appreciate the gain both to Alma Mater and themselves, to be secured by organization. The local alumni association brings together Hbirds of a feather, -those whose experiences and sympathies are somewhat alike. Old students renew their youthful friendships and 'forget their youthful rivalries, become acquainted with the younger men who have followed them through the classes of Alma Mater, aid the younger by advice and encouragement, and, by recalling, at the annual banquet or Hsmokef' W, I-I. ll'-l1JIAA,lf,'E. their college days, prevent themselves from growing old prematurely. Such associations, even though they meet but once a year, tend to enlarge our circle of prosperous and intel- ligcnt friends. H The advantage to Alma Mater can not be overestimated. Not only are the old students, when thus organ- ized, more likely to assist the President of the College by suggestions as to the distribution of catalogues and as to his correspondence, but the very fact that such an association exists is the veryibest advertisement in that community for the institution-better even than printers' ink. Several institutions have been able to place a scholarship in the control of each local association, and we think that it will not be long until Westminster' will be able to 'request each local association to nominate a student from 38 PROF. J AIIIES ATJLLE1' TJTE, .-1. III. its district, who shall be entitled to all the advantages of the College Without payment of the usual fees. But We have not space to enumerate all of the advantages arising from such local associations. We are sure that our experience Will be like that of other colleges-the existence of local alumni associations will give vigor to the Cen- tral Association, and will mark a nevv era in the life of Westminster.

IN order to keep alive and to give practical efficiency to their interest in the College, the graduates and other ex-students are forming in various places local associations. It is earnestly hoped that these associations will be maintained, that others will be formed, and that the ex-students generally vvill join them.

THEIR FIRST ANNUAL BANQUET, APRIL zo, 1896. fGlobe Democrat, April 21, 1896.3 ' The NVestminster Alumni Association of St. Louis gave its initial banquet at the Nlercantile Club last night. Nearly one hundred prominent citizens of St. Louis, Fulton, Jefferson City, and Sedalia, Missou1'i, participated in the celebration, and the splendid attendance, particularly of St. Louisans, speaks Well for the loyalty of the alumni of one of the oldest educational institutions in Missouri.. The large banquet hall of the club presented a magnificent appearance. The college colors,orange and White, were used as the basis of decoration. The massive columns of the banquet hall, and the Walls and ceiling, were artistically draped with broad bands of orange and white gauze, while satin ribbons of the same colorskentwined with flowing smilax, hid the metal work of the chandeliers. The table, which was set with orange and White linen and adorned with lilies and American beauty roses, was surrounded by a profusion of palms and potted plants. General Geo. Isl. Shields was toast master, and Mr. Benjamin H. Charles was master of ceremonies. After the collation, which was served in ten courses, toasts were offered and responded to as follows: Q t'The Place andthe Importance of the College in American Education, Prof. E. C.

The happiest moments of youth's fleet- ing hours VVe've pass'd 'neath the shade of these time lionorld walls. And sorrows as transient as April's brief showers, 49 Have clouded our life in VVestminster's halls. And when we depart from thy friendly protection, And boldly launch out upon life's stormy main, We'll oft look behind us with grateful affection, And live our bright college days over again. A When from youth we have journeyed to manhood's high station, And hopeful young scions around us will shine, We'll send them with love and with deep veneration, As pilgrims, devout, they will bow to thyrsshrinrez - And when life's golden autumn with win- ' Hter is blending, r And brows, now so radiant, are 9fur- rowed with care, When the blightings of age on our heads are descending, With no early friends all our sorrows to share,- Oh! then as in memory backward we wander, .

But it is with a feeling of unworthiness that he assumes his task, for he knows it becomes a mightier pen to write the annals of this noble band. A , 'tRome was not built in a day g and neither has the class gained its position with a single bound. Our history has been long forming, and the Senior standing to-day on the lofty pinnacle of college life from which he views all creation spread at his feet, has toiled for years to gain his point of vantage. So, to recall from the beginning all the deeds of '96 is a long and dithcult task, but one full of pleasant memories and reminiscences. Many of us made our appearance in the college World as academics, and We may still remember a term of ser- vitude in Prepdom. Then, the sight of a Senior inspired us with awe, and from a respectful distance We would thoughtfully contemplate Hickman and Gatson and the rest of igz, secretly wondering if the dignity they bore might ever be ours. To the reverential prep of the present day, we Will say that in some respects yours is the 52 more desirable position, for who is there to dispute it with you, but we must live in constant dread lest a decree from the sanctum where Dr. Gordon reigns, may shatter all our hopes. The most memorable event of our first year in Westmiiister was the Sausser bequest, for it brought an unex- pected holiday and an opportunity to make a demonstration. At that time, number was the chief glory of '96, so we were very much in evidence in the parade. As soon as it was admitted to the College proper the class exhibited many precocious traits. What class besides this in all the history of the College has dared to attempt a Freshman organization? Ours Was complete from president even to the appointment of a committee on caps. And we had a baseball team which was the pride of the college, it was really refreshing, the way they humbled the haughty Sophs. . That year is important in the annals of the class, for it marks the arrival of the inseparables, Alexander and Reavis, on the scene of action. 'Tis said that Joe was greatly perplexed for some time after his arrival, because he could not decide whether he Was enrolled at lVestminster or the'C. O. S. But such a question never troubled the brain of Alex, so confident is he that with great assurance he usually leaves his worldly goods on the front porch of our worthy president, while he searches the town for a desirable boarding place. Sophomera stands as a landmark in our college days. Had I the time I would recall for. you many memor- able happenings of that year, but I can not. No doubt you remember, however, that it was then that Dr. Lyle's horse assumed the colors of the rainbow, and, that Dr. Primrose's wild steed appeared in public without his tail, and that the chapel was tastefully decorated as a Christmas present .to our faculty, and that Zeta Tau Nu Hour- ished as a powerful organization in the school, and that the legal question, whether or not it is lawful to attach a can to a dog's tail, was decided before Judge Collier. Now, I do not attribute all these happenings to the reckless Soph, but only mention them as contemporaneous history. When Dr. Primrose entertained the seniors of Westminstei' and S. F. C. that year, Sam Carter was the representative of '96. He reported afterward that the refreshments were lovely and that the ice cream was served with a lavish hand. With junior year we welcomed Davis, formerly of '95, He left us for awhile for Center College, Kentucky, but he soon resolved to return to his first love. This year he Hnished mathematics, and then he decided to cast his 53 . ' 6 . d won laurels for himself. His I t tl ' 6. lt was that year that our orator, Haiiison, biought honors to 9 '10 o wi i 9 . . , - .

It was a delightful affair, where moonlight, Chinese lanteins, and SWCCtSCm1U0 CS View fl mmg 3 O bewilder the rrain of the susceptible junior. . Now we have reached senior year with all its dignity and responsibili'CiCS- Each member Seems to feel that he has an added duty, this is especially true of Shiffler, for he has labored nobly to raise a mustache, and so pre- serve the reputation of the class. Many honors have been ours as we came through the years, but we have reserved till now our crowning work. The Sicix1cc11LiGH'ris the master stroke of '96, and we leave it to remind future generations of our class when we have been forgotten. Thus have we come through the years, from puerile preps to dignihed seniors. When lirst we assembled on the colonnadc we were a goodly band in numbers, but fate and the faculty Qchietly the facnltyj have continually thinned our ranks until only nine are left upon our roll: Davis. our worthy president, who has been sick for several weeks, but we still count him one of us for we hope he will come back and finish with his class. llitner, whose early days were spent in 'the nursery, but who has put away childish things since he became a man. llc holds the place of scribe and keeps a record of our actions. Reavis, our philosopher and sage, who is known among his friends as HUncl'e Jo. Some evil minded person. has spread the report that he can stop a pig in an alley, but this is a base falsehood and deserves no notice. Alexander, who must follow Reavis on our rollg they always go together. He is a law-abiding citizen and has never been arrested. Harrison, who holds the bag. These three, Harrison, Alexander, and Reavis, will rep- resent the College in our debate with M. S. U. in May. Q Carter. our handsome n' ' A' f '- . ' . - ' .

And now in a few weeks we will be graduated. Studies will be forgotten, and we will leave these classic halls to join the feverish race for success, straining life and limb and heart and soul to reach that ever receding horizon. Therefore it behooves us to make most of the present-and of p6Z.f87'fCZ77ZZ'ZZ'CZS--fOl' in the cold world we shall have to hustle for our daily bread Qbeerj. Perhaps, who knows, the twentieth century may find this class of '96 repeated with variations. Imagine, if you can, wee, small Reavis with his auburn locks, or Harrison, Jr., awakening the echoes with oratory unequaled since the days when pater trod these halls. But, though we may come back by proxy, this is for us the end of college days. And now to Alma Mater we must bid a fond farewell. r , 55 2 class of ,97 has a record of which its members are justly very proud. For the last three years the college scholarship medal has been Won by a member of the class of '97. This year the Buckner essay prize was taken by a junior. Now for athletics. On last field day ten out of fourteen events were Won by members of the class of '97, The gymnasium contest was Won by one of our number. The class of '97 gave the college baseball nine its captain and pitcher, its second baseman, left fielder, center Helder, and right. fielder. ' Q To close the history of this class without telling about the elaborate preparation for the junior banquet would be to commit an unpardonable offense. For Weeks we talked about, planned, and arranged for this elegant ban-- quet. Finally everything was arranged to the satisfaction of all the members of the class. We give the menu in all its details, -so read, ye sophs and freshies, With Watering mouths, read.

Evans as its Hrst president, entered upon its mis- sion in .W'estminster College. Its influence soon pervaded every department, and it has always been recognized by the faculty and students as a distinct and essential organization of the institution. While the gymnasium has sought to develop the physical part of the students, and the College proper has watched their mental growth, it has been the work of the Y. M. C. A. to develop that most important part, the spiritual man. While all the other departments contributed to this end, yet there Was a distinct need, that such an association as this could alone supply. In ,accomplishing its mission it has had a threefold object in view: First, to guard and develop Christian stu- dents for Christ. Second, to bring unconverted students to Christ. Third, to send out students to Work for Christ. Realizing that when a young man enters college he reaches the turning point in life, the Y. M. C. A. has attempted to throw around him such associations as will tend to his highest development, and to shovv to all that the uppermost thought of all who come to college should be to develop a strong, manly character. ' To accomplish its object, the association has, first, apersofzal workers class, members of which study the Bible along the lines of personal Work, and do personal Work among the students. Second, Gospel meetings held every Sunday afternoon, where young men learn to lead in prayer, conduct meetings, and are otherwise trained in Chris- tian Work. Third, reading room. A commodious room is fitted in the College building to be used for reading and study. Many of the best magazines and daily papers are kept constantly on Hle. There is also a large library in the room. A missionary library is also to be found here, Where an attempt is made to enlist an interest in the mis- sion Work. Then there are socials and gatherings of Christian students from time to time for prayer and mutual improvement. The Work this year has progressed nicely, and through its Work many are being gradually induced to devote their life Work to Christ. 59 6, 1 Y a 3 5 PHILOLOGIC HALL 60 Pbilologic Qiterarp Society. 310270: Scz'e1eZz'a, EZ0gzLe1ztz'a, Amz'cz'z'z'cz. 1 A OFFICERS.

A net and good back stops were also furnished, all of which is highly appreciated by the students. Lawn tennis is one of the most popular games in America. WVestminster has a number of strong players. The court is never unoccupied in pleasant weather. ' ' 67 KX fy MI. N. Fervuson XV. M. Howe C. C. Mclntire :D L. G. Ryland F. N. Gordon R. L. Sasse P.

So prominent and important has it become of late years that special schools are being established for the instruction and training of journalists. Realizing the impor- tance of a knowledge of this kind of Work, the students of Westminster have for many years maintained a college paper. It not only serves as a splendid training in the line of journalism, but it alsokeeps the College in line with other colleges of the land which, with few exceptions, publish college papers. It further serves, through its exchanges, to keep the students in touch with the collegeworld. The Smdefzf is written and managed solely by thestudents of the College. The staff is double-one half of the editors being elected from each of the literary societies annually. For many years the XfVestminster Review was issued gmonthlyvby the students. The Sizzclefzt came into exist- ence in I892. It was at first published monthly, but now appears semi-monthly. Many of the larger institutions of the country publish Weekly papers and several issue daihes. U I ' The class of '96 holds the two highest positions on the Szfmiemt staff. For the benehtof those who are to come after, let us extend a friendly warning. DO not seek the Oiiice of editor-in-chief unless you are in careful training under instructor hlaule, or can run it in ten seconds. How often have we longed for the muscle of, a Corbett or the speed of a Kilpatrick. MO1'e than once has our humble sanctum been invaded by an offended subscriber, with no color in his face and fire in his eyes, proclaiming with clinched Est and bated breath: HI can whip the man that Wrote it! Only a few more weeks and we shall shuflde off this mortal honor, may it fall into worthier hands, and may the Student continue to elevate and enlighten the community through all the coming years. 75 1Lll'1'-fl .-ILPII.-1.

KZIDDG HIDDZI. At XVashington College, now XVashington and Lee, Lexington, Virginia, in December, 1865, was laid the foundation stone of the Kappa Alpha Fraternity. The five originators, happy in the friendships formed in the intercourse of class room and campus, and valuing the stimulus to self-improvement derived from intimate association with persons animated by like aspirations, united to found a society which would strengthen and perpetuate the ties they had learned to love. lVithout experience and without traditions it was a loose aggregation. It was a Greek letter protoplasm, not the finished fraternity of to-day. Its environment has determined its nature. Conceived and matured at a college of which General R. E. Lee was president, at the close of a fatal coniiict between brothers, as it Was in the Valley of Virginia made dear to 78 Southern hearts by its vigor in battling for Southern rights, it was but natural that the order should have for its aim the cultivation of the virtues and graces deemed to be distinctly Southern. ' 4 This ideal was not an importation, it was racy of the soil that gave it birth. : ' Not unnaturally, therefore, despite the absence of anything political or sectional in its laws the Kappa iAlpha order has restricted its activity to the southern states. ' By a true instinct-happily almost universal-its members have readily perceived that in the south, and in the south alone, can it find a congenial home. A y Following this policy Kappa Alpha chapters are scattered over the southern district to the number ofithirty- eight, representing fourteen states and the District of Columbia. Q The government might be called a constitutional monarchy and its legislative body meets bienially. The fraternity has issued various Works, including the Green Book of '70, catalogues, minutes, and the Ifczjppcz Alpha fozwmzl, which Was established in l878.' - The f70Z67'7ZCZZ has been a most potent factor in sustaining the Kappa Alpha spirit, and in impressing upon all the extent and strength of the order. It has done much toward Pan-Hellenism, and has succeeded in establishing friendly intercourse in the place of that old time bitterness which often amounted to absurdity. The thirty-first chapter of Kappa Alpha is Alpha-Eta, established in VVestminster February 5, 1890, 'gy Geo. R. Dupuy, B. P. Patrick, and Geo, E. Tutt, with eight charter members. ,I 1 4 3 79 ,?

THE Beta Theta Pi Fraternity was founded in the year 1839, at Miami University, by John Reiley Knox, of the class of ,39, and Samuel Taylor Marshall, of the class of '4o. At this time there were seven established fraternities. None of these, however, had their origin so far west as Ohio-hence Beta Theta Pi holds the honor of being the Hrst western fraternity. Pater Knox, as Betas love to call him, in writing to a friend, tells the origin of the society, in part, as follows: t'It was during the winter ses- sion of 1838-39 that the idea of forming a secret association Hrst suggested itself to my mind. I saw there were many advantages in such an association which could not otherwise be enjoyed. Such combinations are as old as the wants of man and coeval with the growth of literature. The two founders had soon consulted six '4barbs and they signilied their willingness to join and were initi- ated. Hence at the first formal meeting of the fraternity there were eight men present, one of vxhom was the late ex-Governor C. H. Hardin, of hlissouri. This meeting was held in the hall of the Union Literary Society at nine o'clock on Thursday evening, August 8, 1839. The idea of expansion was in the minds of the founders and the original constitution was so executed, and to-day this fraternity is a recognized power in all the best colleges and universities of the United States where fra- ternities are allowed to enter. The first chapter was naturally named Alpha, and for eight years this Chapter was conceded the right of gov- ernment. In 1872 a general secretary was appointed who shared the work of administration. In 1874 there had been fifty chapters established and in that year the fraternity was divided into districts, each with an executive head, but subordinate to the general secretary In 1879 the present system was inaugurated, that of a board of directors, and the fraternity was incorporated under the laws of Ohio. For twenty-three years the Beta Theta Pi 1WdgdZZ'7Z6 has been continuously published, and for thirty-one years there has existed a fraternity song book which has been greatly enlarged and revised. The colors of the fraternity are pink and blue, the flower is the rose, and each chapter chooses a separate vari- ety. The fraternity Hag is a field of blue with three stars arranged at the angles of a triangle inclosing a red rose, and With a border panel of white. I . . Three other fraternities have effected a union with Beta Theta Pi, and in each instance the alumni of the unit- ing society were also made Betasq There are at present sixty-two active chapters with a total membership, includ- ing alumni, of nearly ten thousand.

QMELIJ, if no other is to be considered as memorable as that balmy morning in early summer when the gentle f breezes waft to us their perfumes, when shady groves and charming grottoes 1I1V1tC Hb Wlth the Slfen Ike ' music of their rippling streams, yet do we claim a place for that eventful day in September when, after having spent hours, and even days poring over numerous catalogues and curriculums our young man bids farewell to scenes at home and enters upon his college career. How well do we remember the leave taking, when, with words of encouragement and warning, the various members of the household bade us good-bye and breathed on us a parting benediction. , And is it not a critical point in a young man's life? A time when he must fight his own battles, win his own victories, and suffer his own defeats! W7hen temptations must be met, and, if he yields not, well, but yielding, who can foretell his future? Yes, a man's afterlife is largely determined by the manner in which he spends his time while in college. How much, then, depends on the selection of a college whose influence shall be for the best, and whose very atmosphere shall instill in him an air of lasting culture and refinement. Such a college is Westmi11ste1', with her faculty of learned professors, her halls of knowledge and wisdom, her students filled with life and college spirit, her Fulton with all those requisites which go to make up the many needs of a college town. i Having ascertained all these things, ouryoung man above mentioned has cho-sen Westminstei' as his destina- tion, and will ere long enlist under the banner of white and old gold which for forty years has 'Hoated over an ever increasing and ever victorious column of men proud to vow fealty to their Alma Mater. Through the kindness of Conductor Keyes, of the C. Sz A. vestibuled limited, the new student has ample time while traveling the last twenty-five miles of his journey to become acquainted with numerous 'fellow students, while past histories and present prospects are exchanged until the whistle sounds and he hastens out to receive an intro- duction to the quaint old town of Fulton. 86 Fulton! What a world of memories that name awakens! How we love to recall the days spent in her hos- pitable homes! With what emotions, with what longings for years of equal pleasure and happiness do we view through memory's mirror those happy days gone by! But, having begun to write of college life at Westminster, we must not reverse the chronological order of events through which, in all probability, each student passes. So, now that we have landed our freshman safe on Fulton soil, let us tell of the hearty handshake with which he is met by committees of old students, of the new spirit which takes possession of him when first he hears the college yell, of the pretty faces seen, of the impressions new and varied which he receives on his first clay in his new home. No, the task is too great. One must' himself pass through these various scenes, one must himself drink deep of the cup of college spirit, in order fully to appre- ciate the whole situation. Of course he is somewhat homesick. We would not have him otherwise. Ere long, however, he will become so thoroughly pleased with his new environments that he will be willing, almost, to say, 44Thi's is my own, my native landf' Scarcely, in fact, has he become acquainted with the family with whom he is to make his home, ere he hears a tapping at his chamber door, which opens to admit two or three old students wearing curiously wrought badges which immediately catch the freshman's eye. He asks the very question most desired by his visitors, viz.: What does your badge represent? Ah, he little dreams what .a subject he has opened when he asks about fraternities. Nor does he know that his evening's callers have come for the express purpose of ascertaining whether or no he would make a suitable man for them to secure. They tell him the fullhistory of their fraternity-if Beta Theta Pi or Phi Delta Theta, from its birth in Miami University, the former in 1839, the latter in 1848, if Kappa Alpha, from its birth at NVashington and Lee in 1865, down to the present day. At last, however, they leave him to his thoughts of home, and thus the first day ends. On the following morning he journeys schoolward, and, with the aid of professors and obliging friends, he arranges his course of study. Here again he sees other fraternity badges and listens to more Hfrat chinning. When asked to join, he is at Hrst undecided as to whether he should do so or not, but after a few days' consideration he decides that 87 . . - - ' .

How he trembles at the thought of p3SS1Dg through such a t1y1D?Z ordeal-N The mg faPPO1Hfedf01 revealing the mysterious inner side of fraternity life finally a1r1ves and he sees the light of GICCIHI1 CU H116 and refinement. And now he settles down to a thorough college life. He has chums with Whom he spends what Would, under different circumstances, be tiresome hours. Qt Com-Se he Joms a lltel-my Soclety and endeavors to live up to its iequnements. His carefu app ication to duty soon wins for him an enviable position in his society, and ofiicial honors are conferred upon him. How we love to recall many an enjoyable and profitable evening spent in those old halls dedicated to literary training! How often does our imagination picture ourselves again taking part in our Hrst debate, or listening to speeches, more eloquent perhaps, by older members. Yes, the Saturday evenings in literary halls are times long to be remembered. A ' The Y. M. C. A. is an organization not to be omitted in a sketch of Westminster's student life, for there our young man is built up in the Christian faith, made strong against temptation, and fitted for personal work among his fellow students. The spiritual part of man's nature needs more careful training than any other, and without some student organization for such purpose many a one would drift out into life's stormy sea with no strength of character, no moral courage with which to meet the temptations of afterlife. But the student's physical nature also needs careful care and culture. In the gymnasium he finds ample opportunity to develop his muscles as in the class room he develops his mind. His daily exercise gives him buoy- ant spirits and ruddy countenance, and we know of at least one of our schoolmates who, in all probability, owes his life to the strong constitution acquired by systematic exercise under our physical instructor. But we do not always follow the same routine day after day. Occasionally we enliven what might be monot- onous weeks by a few side plays. For instance, when the news reached us that Mr. Sausser had bequeathed to NVestminster 2B15o,ooo, the student body, with banners and bands playing, proceeded to enjoy, a holiday. Then, too, on All Fools' Day, we like to join our friends in the Synodical College and spend a pleasant day far removed from teachers and text-books. 88 But again we have left him whose college biography we are attempting to relate, in order to give accounts of adventures in which he may not have participated. Yes, our freshman has cast off the characteristic green of his Hrst year, and risen to the dignified and responsible position of senior. He has met the difficulties which beset a sophomore, has been called before the faculty to answer for various crimes and misdeeds. And perhaps, oh, most terrible of all disgraces, yes, perhaps, he has been summoned to appear before the city fathers to both answer and pay charges for offenses against the dignity of said city fathers. A notable example of what we have just stated is well remembered by four usually well behaved and industrious students. Indeed, the direful results of a certain night's adventures were doubtless due to their extraordinary application which enabled them to prepare their next day's lessons at such an early hour, forsooth, that they must needs view the landscape o'er for other worlds to con- quer. Tradition tells us that their visionary organs 'soon rested on the canine companion of a tall and talented townsman. YVith the assistance of cord and can the said students forthwith proceeded to make life miserable for his honor-the dog. In fact, it is related by reliable persons that in all history of dogdom no account is given of a canned dog that could in any way touch the hereinbefore mentioned canned dog's running abilities as displayed on that eventful night. Now, the story goes, that the owner and sole proprietor of said dog, not content with taking consolation from lines which formerly gave comfort to bereaved kennel keepers, and which run something after this fashion: Woe worth the chase, Woe worth the day, That cost me thee, , My gallant grey, immediately sought refuge in the law, and even attempted to punish the perpetrators of the prank by putting them in prison. We shall not weary you, dear reader, by giving the various incidents of the trial, nor by telling how the different members of the faculty were present to lend cheer, comfort, and assistance to the men whose lives were thus endangered. Sufiice it to say that, after the law had duly taken its course, our adventurous youths were finally restored to their former liberty and lived placid, peaceable lives ever after. - . 89 Summary of the Year '95:'96. N the twelfth Of September '95, the machine which turns out gigantic intellects, culture, and refinement began its work. For material upon which it was to work, it had all manner of men from the picked-too-early youth, who came from the woody part of our rural districts, to the know-it-all juvenile, the product of our smaller town. The former looked upon our worthy faculty, building, and apparatus with little less won- der than the Red Man looked upon the winged canoes of Columbus four hundred years ago, but the product of our smaller town concluded that the whole affair was 'trather tame and wondered how long it would take him to get things outgof the 'told rut by showing that he for one was a much-sport. Before the close of the first week the boys had been assigned and classified by the professors, and sized up by the different factions. Thus the contest for honor in college life began. ' Early in the action Kerr was spiqued by the Barbs, Mr. Holman, the newly elected High Lord Chancellor of that august body, wielding the spear. Kerr wavered but a day and then learned the mysteries of that most mysterious body-the Barbs. Before the close of the first month everybody knew that Fletcher played tennis, that Carthrae smoked cigarettes, that the all-round gymnastic contest lay between Reavis and Johnson, and that James Forsythe was learning to dance. By the second month the boys were doing college work in earnest. The freshman had quit dreaming of the girl he left behind him and wondering if he was missed. The sophomore had not yet begun to sport. The junior had become content with his new lady love, and the senior-well, he always was a student. Thus October was a month of 'college diligence both in the class room and in college sports, for then our tennis courts were in the best shape and our classes in the gymnasium were largest. November was a month full of wonders- Van Meter was seen at church, Jim Lyons lowers the record in a half mile dash from Orphan School, time 2 min. 5 sec., Hanley has his overalls' washed, Skinny Ryland hears from home, the mechanics class have a 'full attendance, Reavis learns to smoke, Dr. Gordon consented to 'give a holi- 91 Kansas City, where he was accompanied by Mr. Ross Neel, who had the honor of being committeeman. The contests over, the excitement had but died away and college life once more begun to assume the tranquil, when we were revived by the spirit of baseball. We began to scent in the breezes the savor of gloryg nor was it a delusion. The M. S. U. was the first to challenge and the first to learn what our boys could do with the Hwillowf' How they feel after defeat we do not know, but our boys take victory as a matter of course. We dolknow that one of the M. S. U. boys will be careful who plays second base before he again mistakes baseball for football. 4 As the spring advances, the' birds, wild Howers, and perfumes of roses gently win us from our books and we are seen striking lazy attitudes andwondering what will become of our Plato or our Tacitus. What wonderful things may be done before our year shall have closed, we shall leave the seniors of '97 to tell, as we go to press before May 1. But thus far our year's work in the class room has been marked by diligence and zeal on the part of the students. The friendliest relation has been maintained between faculty and students, and, on the whole, the year '95-'96 has been one of the most pleasant and prosperous in the history of the college. 93 30sb Department.

Mr. Sausser's munificent bequest enabled the board to enlarge the faculty, to improve the courses of study, and to promote a more eflicient management of the affairs of the College. This greatly increased ' the value of the educational work, but did not diminish its cost-to the students. No part of Mr. Sausser's legacy could be legitimately, and in fact no part of it has been, spent in material equipment of any sort. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance to improve the literary and scientific equipment of the College, and to enlarge its facilities for offering board and lodging at reduced cost. 2. The permanent endowment has never been suHicient to meet the current expenses of the College. A judicious use of Mr. Sausser's bequest has enabled the board to supply this deficiency in part, but they could not do this fully, without perverting the fund entrusted to them. It is, therefore, necessary to make some adequate and permanent provision for this deficiency, This can best be done by increasing the number of students, and this end can best be obtained by means of a material equipment, which, with the intellectual advantages offered, will attract students of every class. It is now proposed to raise a fund of S5o,ooo, which will accomplish these ends. The plan contemplates a subscription amounting to S5o,ooo, payable one fourth in cash, and the remainder in installments at intervals of six, twelve, and eighteen months, the deferred payments to bear interest at six per cent per annum. ' As soon as the subscriptions are made, work on a building, which will contain rooms for a laboratory and a library and accommodations for fifty students, will begin. At the same time a president's house will be erected, which will command rent and thus add to the revenues of the College. Vtfhile the buildings are in process of eyectigna the interest on the deferred payments will meet the deficit in the revenue, and when the buildings are completed, it is believed that additional students will be secured suflicient to provide permanently for the revenue. 99 - Ozzzfside M6dSZ67'67lZ67Zff Length - Width - I Elevation bzside Iweaszweffzefzis: Dining Room Kitchen Laboratory Library l P1 r But Mmm :fl-15111: Il o..-.. -v.--sa..

Co egiate studies advanced beyond those of the secondary schools are necessary in order to furnish the best mental equipment for subsequent technical and professional work. Such studies give mental furnishing as well as discipline: knowledge as well as power. , In order to be thoroughly well furnished for the acquisition of technical and professional skill, agstudent needs to have some acquaintance with his mother tongue and its ever growing literature. He ought to have some acquaintance with the four or five languages with which his own is allied and to which it is so much indebted for technical terms and other literary forms. He ought to have some acquaintance of his own body and of the hygienic laws which control itg of his mental processes, of the relations of his appetites and emotions to his physical, men- tal, and moral health. He ought to know something of the principles, methods, and results of scientific inquiry- to be learned, not only from books, but also from Nature itself and the laboratories men have devised in which to discover Natures secrets. He ought to know much about history, the development of the race, the march of mind, the progress in science, art, civilization, and religion. Half the mistakes statesmen make might be avoided if only they were thoroughly acquainted with the history of government. Nine tenths of the current speculative errors would never have been published if only the errorists knew the history of opinion. This bare enumeration of what it is desirable for a well educated man to know, is sufficient to show that time enough is not allotted to our seconxdary school work to acquire, this knowledge. Nor is there time enough after a student has entered upon his technical and professional studies, whether in the shop, the warehouse, the university, or the technological institute. This knowledge, if acquired at all, must at least have the foundation for it laid at college. 3. Collegiate studies render those who have successfully pursued them better able than others to contend successfully in the so-called business arenas. lt is said that prize Fights are won as much with the head as with the hand, and brains are as valuable in a tussle with a bear as muscle. lt is admitted that college training ought to lift a man above the level of the miser or money grubber, but it does not render him less able to contend with the money grubber on his own ground, if he chooses tO C10 SO- The 103 5. A Word may be added concerning the importance and value from a religious point of view of those col- leges which have been founded bytreligious denominations. These offer high mental training in connection with the best social, moral, and religious influences. Some of them, like Westminster, seek to train students for intelli- gent Christian Work in home and Church, as Well as for success in professional and business life. The value of these Christian colleges to the country has been and is incalculable. Most of the men Who in the past have adorned the annals of the countr who ha d' t' ' h d y, ve IS inguis e themselves in all the various occupations of life, have been largely indebted to the training they secured in denominational colleges. So far as the wisest can now forecast the future, the maintenance of evangelical religion in the United States is largely in the hands of these institutions. Their just claim for full equipment on Christian piety and Wealth is second to no claim that the Church has novv to make on its adherents. 105 JOHN ROBISON BAKER, Beta Theta Pt, A Fam would I climb.
