He has gained friends for VVestminster. His plan for securing adequate endowment and- educational power for the college has commended itself to the confidence of Westminster's friends. Though there have been no sweeping changes, the whole tone and machinery of the institution has been strengthened in accordance with the high ideals of Westminsterls history. Dr. Kerr is a friend and counselor to every student-which is often generously evi- denced by the greetings 'of the student body upon his return from a trip. His teaching of the Bible is thorough and inspiring, full of devotion and evangelism. His ideal for every Westminster studentis best typified in his own life and character-sound in body, mind, and heartg broad in sympathies, energetic, conscientious, youthful in spirit, yet careful and tactfulg far-seeing, constructive, and above all a servant of jesus Christ. 6 srnzc lass LT 31111111 iiarurg Smit, AAHE., lHh.iB. The study of mathematics is not only the acquisition of practical knowl- edge, but the training of the student's mind, which gives a distinct gain of mental power. In no department of education is a good foundation more important. Several departments of study are so interwoven with mathe- matics that progress is almost impos- sible unless the student has a good working knowledge of mathematics. Dr. Scott, our teacher of mathematics, is not excelled either as a mathemati- cian or as a teacher. His highest praise is that no young man can get through one of his classes without seeing it clean. Dr. Scott was graduated from VVestminster in 1865. Shortly after graduation he was called to the chair of mathematics in his Alma Mater. Here he has served for more than forty years. He has always maintained a high standard for his de- partment. We are proud of our ma- thematics department and its efficient teacher. 31111111 Elag Eine, AJJIH., IEEE. The proper study of mankind is man. Tovstudy man we must study the history of men-of men who have been leaders. Leaders of men have always been those who could interpret the inner motives of their fellows. The modern science of economics is but the interpretation of certain of these social motives, a new construc- tion of facts long known. In the study of history and economics, then, lies one of the sources of leadership. Dr. Rice has been a student and teacher of history and economics for forty years. He knows how to teach these subjects in a masterly way. He knows every weak point in a boy and has unusual skill in detecting tend- encies and in correcting them, while holding the good will of the boy. Dr. Rice is a graduate of New York University. Before coming to West- minster he practiced law in New York City. This especially fitted him for the work which he has done so well at Westminster for nearly forty years. yt., , 0 if gizxutffifggl :Du cmnrzngn 'Y' onto' A7' 1- vs Nt f .-41rf?'l,i' ' .F -11 'bv is 161.12 AF' T . . , I if f A 'iv I .r , , .

To know the language, literature, art, and cus- toms ofthe ancient Roman civilization makes for culture and breadth. This is especially true when we remember that our own language is partly a growth of the Latin language and that a knowledge of Latin is almost neces- sary to be able to appreciate the beauty and the adaptability of our mother- tongue. Latin is taught in VVestminster by Dr. Marquess, a southerner by birth. He received both his A.B. and A.M. degrees at Hampden-Sidney College, in Virginia. After graduation he took up the profession of teaching For twenty-five years he has taught West- minster boys the art of reading Cicero, Vergil, and other Roman authors. This long experience has made of him a First-class teacher for Westminster. Dr. Marquess is the college bursar and assistant secretary of the board of trustees, a capable business man. llnlin Zlileming QT.-numn, A.M., EE. Dr. Cowan, professor of modern languages and Hebrew, received his early training in Westminster. Fin- ishing the A.B. course i11 1858, he entered Princeton, where he spent four years. While there he took great interest in the study of modern languages, especially German and French. He still delights in reading German and French authors, and Westminster boys always ind in him a helpful teacher. The study of modern languages is very essentialin modern education. In philosophy and the sciences one meets many German and French phrases. Magazines and newspapers contain many foreign phrases. The French language abounds in idioms which have crept into the English language. Dr. Cowan insists that every boy who studies French with him shall know French idioms and be able to use them. The study of German, too, has become very popular in Westminster under his instruction. uxSTEH lB53 l-T089 0 nv 4,006 if Nd! 6. murznzo to , 0- Eanirl Sham Gage. AMI., 15h.iB. The study of Greek is probably the best mind-training that the world has ever discovered for a young man. Possibly it is equalled and possibly surpassed by the exact science of mathematics, but is surely not equalled by any other subject. lf a boy wants to be sure to be able to think his best on any subject he must study Greek and mathematics. He will be a better chemist or a better engineer if he knows Greek-not because of the Greek itself entirely, but because of the power of accurate thought and skillful judgment given him by the study of Greek. Dr. Gage received his training in Westminstei and McCormick Semi- nary, Chicago. In 1890 he was ap- pointed Professor of Greek Language and Literature. To say that he is thor- ough in his department is putting it lightly. Dr. Gage also teaches Philos- ophy, giving thorough instruction and drill in the mazes of mental life and i11 the alluring fields of human thought. illnza Albert malls, Agllll. This' is an age of science. There is perhaps no department of study which is attracting more attention today than the study of physical and dynamical science. Newspapers and magazines are filled with accounts of scientific research and inventions. No man's education is complete unless he has had training in physics and applied mathematics. No man can read in- telligently unless he has had at least an elementary training in this depart- ment. The man who from day to day earns his bread by manual labor, the man in business, as well as the pro- fessional man,-all need a knowledge of science in order to get the best out of life. After a course in this progressive science under our competent instruct- or, Prof. Wells, the student is capable of grappling with the larger and broader questions of progress. Here he laysa foundation which will enable him to cope with the great problems of life. -wx 4. - 1 ---X, , 9' Bl Willis ihnlmra ltrrr, AJJIR. The study of the English language and literature is one of the most im- portant and cultured of studies. The field is wide and interesting. Much depends upo11 the early impressions made upon the student. Prof. Kerr, who has been an apt and accurate student of English from his first days at school, uses great skill in cultivat- ing in the student a desire for wide reading and accuracy of expression. One of the great advantages West- minster boys enjoy is an unusually good college library. Especially valu- able is the library inthe study of liter- ature, history, and economics. But no student can get the best results from a library unless guided by a com- petent librarian. Prof. Kerr, the col- lege librarian, knows good books and is very proficient in guiding reading and research. He is a member of the Ameri- can Library Association, the Missouri Library Association, and has his A. M. degree from Columbia University, New York City. ' Baath ilvlaritiruh Eauihaun, MLS. Prof. Davidson came to us from the sunny South. He was educated in the great university of the South, Tulane. There he received his A.B. degree. But he is not a stranger to the north. After taking his degree in Tulane, he entered the University of Chicago, where he took the Master of Science degree in 1906. Prof. Davidson began his work in chemistry and biology at Westminster with the opening of this year. Unlike many studies, chemistry develops not only the memory and reasoning facul- ties, but all the senses. The chemical laboratory is the place where the boys mix up some stuff and get some- thing they didn't have to start with. Sometimes the whole business sud- denly goes up in smoke, sometimes only an invisible ether remains- hence the importance to hear, see, feel, taste, and smell accurately. Prof. Davidson has won a large place in the confidence of all Westminster people. G G cntnrrannu 79 as 'Z'l-TQNV' Cllharlra Gllghr ltniglii, ES. . Prof. Knight is one oftheinstructors in our academy. He came to us from Coe College, Iowa, where he was graduated in 1906. But he is known not alone as a good teacher. He is the athletic director and coach in foot ball, base ball, and other athletics. Westminster does not forget that boys must have play. The student must take systematic exercise. He should train the body as well as the mind. Athletics are encouraged at Westminster, but not to such a degree that it takes the mind of the student from his studies. A passing grade in the classroom is first requisite. Our coach has rare ability to make our athletics successful. Though stern in the enforcement of athletic rules, he still is one of the boys,,and never fails to create enthusiasm and interest. His desire is to cultivate clea11 athletics-true college spirit. This he has very largely accomplished, -and has won for himself the love and respect of Westminster students. Battling ltvnnrih Grrgrr Fascinating and instructive studies are zoology and botany. To go out into the fields and woods to study nature and 'thold communion with her visible forms has always appealed to the human mind. Nature will al- ways teach us a lesson if we but ob- serve her ways. But the eye must be taught to observe in order to learn these lessons. Westminster boys have the privilege of studying biology with Prof. Greger, an expert geologist and botanist. Mr. Greger knows the whole Held, He enjoys nothing so much as to take his pupils out into the woods and talk to them of the animal and plant life and of fossils. He is an expert in entomol- ogy and is tireless in his enthusiasm. Mr. Greger has been a member of the New York and Missouri State Geological surveys. This has given him a wide experience and made him very capable as a teacher of geology. He also is a member of the American Microscopical Society. 5 ll STZR ,fo 5- Xdil 15523, A :- in I .

As he thinks of the men she has trained and equipped for service in various life-works, and of all associated with her columns, he begins to feel what a grand old college she really is! So the writer, though poetically in- clined, will not call upon Clio, the muse of history, to aid him in, his chronicle, but will leave her un- molested. His college's history in itself should be sufficient inspiration. - 'Westminster was founded by the Presbyterians. A The first Presbyterian church i11 Missouri was organized just ninety years ago. As the denomination grew stronger its attention was drawn to the work of higher education. A college was founded soon after Missouri was admitted to the Union. It was named Marion Col- legef' . This little institution, we are told, did much good during the few years of its existence. We mention it to show that the importance and need of higher institutions of learning were felt from the first. In 1851, almost thirty years later, the Presbyterian church in Fulton took steps to found an institution to be known as Fulton College. The college was organized, and opened the following October. About fifty students attended the first session. From this time to the chartering of Westminster in 1853 the number of students increased every session. Such was the germ of o11r present institution. Westniinster was the outgrowth of this college. In 1852 the synod of the Presbyterian Church determined to found a col- lege and chose Fulton for its location. The name Westminster was given it-a name hallowed in the history of Presbyterianismf' The Missouri legislature granted it a charter in 1853, and William Van Doren was chosen to serve as professor for the first session. He thus became Westminster's first professor. N. C. Kouns, Esq.. was appointedas his assistant. The cornerstone of the building now known as Westminster Hall was laid, on july 4, 1853. Rev. N. L. Rice, D.D., delivered an address on The 12 yearn I-roxlli' I co G- ,fZ fI,2'i :'f,.P i f Three Great Interests of Man: Christianity, Education, and Liberty. The building thus begun was finished in 1854 at a cost of over 315,000 Ou this same fourth of july the cornerstone of the state School, for the Deaf and Dumb was laid in Fulton. Every Westiiiiiister man will be particularly interested in the First An- nual Cataloguef' that of 1853-4, as reprinted in Dr. Fisher's history of VVest- minster. One can readily see that though the college' had been opened but a short time, the character of its curriculum was already of the highest, comparing favor- ably with the best institutions in the state. During the year 114 students were enrolled. We find also in this catalogue that the Philologic Literary Society had been or- ganized. The Philologic Hall, which for over fifty years has been the home of this society, was dedicated two years later, in 1855. ' Some parts of this first catalogue sound f strange-times are so different now. For instance, Fulton is described as a healthy and pleasant village of about twelve hundred inhabitants, one hundred and twenty miles from St. Louis, by the stage, which runs daily and is about twenty-four hours on the way, and it is only fourteen miles from St. Aubert's Landing on the Missouri river, from which point a hack runs for public ac- cominodationf' Our branch line of the Chicago and Alton is quite anim- provement after all! We ind further, Boardingg including washing, fires, and lights, in Fulton or within a reasonable distance, is 5151.50 to i3.00aWeek. The whole expenses will average somewhere between one hundred and one hun- dred and fifty dollars a year. ' The Hrst annual commencement was in June, 1855. Mr. james G. Smith received the first diploma given by Vvestminster College. Mr. Smith, who was a minister, died in 1863. His body rests near the old homestead and near the college of which he was the first graduated son. This year the attendance had increased greatly. It was during this session that the Philalethian Literary Society was' organized. The Philalethian Hall, 110W occupied by this society, was dedicated in 1855. At this first commence- ment Rev. S. S. Laws was elected by the board to the presidency of the college. He accepted and thus became XUCSt1lll11Sl6I'yS first president. The faculty was 13 1 '1 T -,Um :Exit ,i 195' f LW Q' , further strengthened and plans were made for securing additional endowment. The second annual commencement was held on the twenty-sixth of June, 1856. The two literary societies celebrated together their first anniversary on Monday night preceding commencement. One hundred and twenty students had been enrolled during this year. F nrther we are told that the college, hav- ing been fairly launched, was now full under way, all the regular classes were in existence and at work. Of interest in this connection is the remarkable statement made by Prof. F. T. Kemper, of Boonville. Near the close of 1856 PHYSICS LABORATORY and a few months before he accepted the chair of Physical Science at West- minster, he Wrote after a visit here, The scholarship of the students has sur- prised me much. The sophomore class would do credit to the senior class in most institutions that I have visited in the West. We can realize the high standing of Westminster College at that time, The fall session of 1857, we are told, opened With brighter prospects for the college than had been witnessed by any previous year. The attend- ance C1705 became larger than ever before,-indeed has not been equalled until ' 14 -w-,m1,....-,ff ,.x..p:.w..,....,a.... .a.aV.......,.,,r..

President Laws devoted a great part of his time during this year to the work of raising additional endowment. The following year C1858-9D was a memorable one in the history of West- minster. The college opened with a still greater enrollment of students. During this year 320,000 was given to endow the Charless Professorship of Physical Science. Mr. Joseph Charless, who had been one of the most promi- nent and active friends of Westminster up to this time, was assassinated in St. Louis in june, 1859. His daughter, Mrs. E. E. Le Bourgeois endowed this chair in his memory. Professor Alfred Mayer, of the university, was chosen as the first Charless Professor. In December of this year a-bell was presented to the College. It was a magnificent one and is said to have been superior to any in Central Missouri. This bell was ruined as the result of a college prank in 1875. The present bell was received in exchange for the pieces of this old one, since even these were very valuable to the manufacturers. Seven young men graduated in june. CDr.D C. C. I-Iersmann was valedictorian of this class -the largest graduating class up to this time. , VVith this year ends what we might call the ante-bellum period of West- 1ninster's history. It was now eight years since the charter had been granted andin that time the college had become one of the foremost institutions in the West. Westminster was in the zenith of her prosperity. She was now ready for great things. But just then the Civil VVar burst like a storm over the country. We quote the following: In the spring of 1861 the clouds of war began to hover over the land. The wave of trouble beginning at the presidential elec- tion of the preceding November and rolling over the whole land, stirring society to its lowest depths, had dashed overthe college also. But amid the most intense excitement pervading the whole nation, the regular exercises were continued and the students with few exceptions were kept in their places and induced, under the influence of the faculty, to give to their studies a degree of attention which under the circumstances could hardly have been eX- pected. Although the land almost trembled under the feet of thousands hurry- ing to the field of battle, but few of the students left before commencement day.' ' In 1861 President Laws resigned. The trustees met to consider whether or not it was advisable in View of the disturbed state of the country to en- deavor to keep the college open. They decided that the work of the school should go on. Though the numbers of the faculty and of the students were greatly decreased, the work done during the year was the highest quality. There were two graduates at the end of the year. 15 ' fmt ' in - , t .Wa A The following year C1862-35, 89 young men were in attendance. The next year Rev. john Montgomery, D.D., was elected president. He accepted, serving this year and a few months of the next. During 1865 the lack of funds was felt so keenly that it was necessary to decrease the teaching force of tl1e college, leaving only Drs. Montgomery and Fisher. A little later the services of Mr. John Harvey Scott were secured as professor of mathematics. Dr. Scott was then in the last part of his senior year at Westminster. We find that from the very first-A he was eminently successful in his department. ACROSS THE CAMPUS ' The year 186677 was marked by an attendance of 160 students-a number which up to the last two years has not been equalled, except in 1858- Con- sidering the state ofthe country at this time Qimmediately after the Civil Warj, this number was very remarkable. V In.1868 Dr. N. L. Rice was chosen president of the college. He accepted. Dr. Rice was a man of national, reputation, and friends of the college felt its future was assured when he entered on -his duties as president in the fall of that year. In September of the year following he was formally inaugurated. He was the first president thus installed. , 16 Gsm c xo mv :CIO . K P' .

At the beginning of the Civil War the total assets of the college amounted to somewhere near QS150,000. The Civil War swept away the greater part of this. In 1869 we find that of the old endowment the largest sum thought to be available was 5lE35,000. The same year an effort was made to raise a new endowment. About 554.000 was secured. Thus in 1870 West- niinster's total endowment was not quite Ef390,000, and part of this was not available. . V l SUNLIGHT AND SHADOW Hy 1873 financial affairs had reached such a crisis that the trustees found it necessary to reduce the number of the facility and in other ways to cut down expenses to the very lowest ngure possible. This year Dr. Rice resigned the presidency. Seven years of financial difficulty followed. In 1880, Prof. C. C. Hers- nian, who for three years had been acting-president, was elected president of the college. During the following years the college conducted its work of education most successfuily. VVe are told that the outlook in all directions except 17 '1-'ii'- ,, X l P. ' -- W' , 1' M -? .'-1' money were most hopeful. During this period of the college's history the need for better financial support was sorely felt. In 1883, we are told, negotiations in regard to co-operation by the two synods in support and control of the college were renewedf' Both synods CNorthern and Southern Presbyterian 'churchesj were deeply convinced of the necessity of more efficient methods of carrying on the work of Christian education in Missouri. A plan of co-operation was agreed upon and carried into effect. I Dr. C. C. Hersmau resigned the presidency in june 1887 on account of ill- health. His service as president had been so highly satisfactory that his res- ignation was received with great reluctance. In leaving he urged the need of A ' CHAPEL additional buildings. The college consisted of but one building-Westminster Hall. In this respect it was falling behind the other colleges of the state. Steps were taken at once to secure funds for a new Chapel. Withiri a month 310,000 was raised-almost all of it in Fulton and Callaway county. Work was begun at once. The old chapel, on the second iioor of Westminster Hall, was divided into three large recitation rooms. The chapel was completed in 1888, and has been very useful. Rev. William Hoge Marquess, then pastor of the Fulton Presbyterian church, consented, after Dr. H6fS1112l11,S resignation, to serve as president Cin 18 zcawaafawafr 'M-ew -fs-wma.-1.1: vlan .

His administration began in june 1887. During the seven years of Dr. Marquess' presidency the number of students, steadily increased-from 116 in 1887 to 150 in 1894. Financial agents were put upon the field and money raised for the college. In 1888 Rev. J. F. Cowan, D. D. accepted the chair of Modern Languages at Westminster-a department which was created at that time. In 1889 the care of the college returned to the hands of the Southern synod alone, the Northern synod having Withdrawn from the plan of co-operation. In January 1892, Mr. William Sausser, of Hannibal, Missouri, died, leav- i11g the bulk of his estate, valued at 8125,000, to Westminster College: This bequest was a great encouragement to the friends of Westminster, coming as it did at a time when it was keenly needed. GYMNASIUM . In May, 1894, Dr. E. C. Gordon was elected president. The curriculum was revised. The animal gymnastic exhibition and the field day date from this year. In june of this year Dr. W. W. Robertson, whokxsince 1854 had been president of the Board of Trustees, died. - In 1898 the Board oifered a prize of 8525 to the Philologic and Philalethian Literary Societies for the best exhibition. The contest for this prize is held 19 ----f-- sgggl, 3311 - ,i-.giizglll I .i .nw 1, W9 I .. ,gf I E, , , ,K .. .ff if during commencement week. The rivalry thus engendered has proved most helpful to both literary societies. While Dr. Gordon was president alumni-associations were organized in St. Louis, Kansas City, Sedalia, and Kennett in Missouri and in Louisville, Ken- tucky. These organizations have done much for the college. During this time VVestminster became a member of the Missouri College Union which was then organized. In June. 1898, Dr. Gordon returned to his work as a pastor, and Dr. J. I. Rice was chosen to act as president until the trustees could elect apresident. In 1899 Dr. John Henry MacCracken, of. New York University, was elected to the presidency of Westminster. Dr. MacCracken entered upon the duties of REUNION HALL his ofnce in September of that year. He was said to have been the youngest man in the United States, if not in the world, holding the presidency of an important college, and his election as president of Westminster elicited much comment. He soon showed, however, that he was thoroughly qualified for the position. Within about six months after he reached Fulton he had quietly raised 520,000 for ascience building. At the commencement in june 1900, President MacCracken was formally inaugurated 3 ground was then broken forthe new building, Science Hall? The curriculum was revised and improved.

The most import- ant event of this year was the successful completion of negotiations between the two synods for co-operation in the ownership and support of the college- a form of co-operation that is in its nature permanent and which more than doubles the constituency of the college, both in numbers and in resources. I111903, President MacCracken resigned. Dr. I. J. Rice, vice-president of the college, was acting president during 1903-4. On October 22 and 23, 1903, the semi-centennial of the founding of Westminster College was celebrated. The first day was occupied by the alumni meeting. In the evening a recep- tion was held in the new dormitory-named Reunion Hall in commemoration of the union of the two synods in the management of Westminster. On the day following the semi-centennial exercises proper were held in the Presbyter- ian church. JOHN A.

By july he was on the Held, and at work. Men were sent out over the state and Z1 systematic canvass for students made. The administrative methods of the in- stitution were thoroughly re-organized. During this year the publication of the News-Leifef' was begun. This has been been a great agency in arousing interest and in making new friends for the college. 352,000 was secured for the library, and that important department was thoroughly systematized and modernized. The laboratories were extensively increased, especially the bio- 22 l STER ff' W AE 0 CMArT!gi'lBD ' as . 'buosxeo logical. Athletics were placed on a systematic basis under the control of a special board, composed of student and faculty members. Dr. Kerr was formally inaugurated into oliice on October 31, 1905.

He now took steps toward securing it. The campaign for raising S100,000 in St. Louis began in April, 1906, and at this time of writing has practically been secured. Considerable progress has been made toward LIBRARY securing the additional 3200000 in Missouri. The new presidentis house, The Wasliiiigtoii VVest Mansion, is the first tangible evidence of the St. Louis effort. The faculty was increased in September, 1906, by the addition of another professor of science, Professor David MacLeod Davidson, his chair being chem- istry and biology. The curriculum has been remodelled C1907j. An advance has been made in scholastic requirements, and the college course based upon a four-year course in the academy, instead of three years as formerly. The 23 U:-. af ,-if 1 ' - wrt-'. Q .1 42 .- -A -,gf academy has been brought up on a level with the best secondary schools in the country. The requirements for degrees have also been slightly increased. Dr. Kerr recently said this: It is the aim and hope of this administration to make more friends and increase the interest of former friendsg to advance and broaden the standards of studyg to make the student spirit more enthusi- astic and Christiang to bring every student into closer relationship with pro- fessorsg to increase the loyalty and helpfulness of the trustees, the alumni, the WASHINGTON WEST MANSION-PRESIDENT'S RESIDENCE CUnfinishedl public schools, and the chnrchesg and to double the endowment, property, and equipment of' the college. At every point this hope has begun its realizationfl Westminster was a pioneer in education in the West. The excellence of the Work she has done is proved by the character of the men she has educated. Still greater things are in store. The larger endowment will remove hind- rances Which hitherto have embarrassed. Westminster starts into the twen- tieth century with prospects as bright as any college could enjoy.-I. B. W.

VVithin, upon a table, we see plans and charts for vast engineering enter- prises, among which are the blue prints for a tunnel under Bering strait. In contrast to this We see over at one side a cozy corner with bookcases of the choicest literature, of some of which he is the author. The southeast corner room belongs to Thomas Harrison Grant, treasurer '07, Beta Theta Pi, Philalethian, Blue jay stall. Banker and Philanthropist. How homelike it is to step into this room, for its occupant is one of those rare men, an ideal gentleman who makes his home a place of brightness, love, and happiness. His ambitions though exalted are modest, for he only desires as a private citizen to serve his God and country as best he can, and to make his town happy and blest through his love and service.

This is the room ofa dreamer. The diffused light stealing through the pictured windows makes one think of flowery fields and babbling brooks. But the dreamer was called into action by duty, and scattered around are mementos of a ministry among savages. On the wall hangs the picture of one he loved in college, who, though lost to him now, is still the gladness of his life. Tavlor Benton jones, Kappa Alpha, Philalethian, Honor Roll, Congress- man, Governor, Senator. This room is a library, filled with the books which make great statesmen, and a fitting place it is for one who is a lawmaker of our nation. The furni- ture and appearance of the room also denote its owner as a man of great wealth, for he was a millionaire e'er he gave up his business to become a statesman. The seventh room bears this name and inscription: Thomas Edward Barber, Philologic, Student Volunteer, Y. M. C. A., Mod- erator Pan-Presbyterian Alliance, Missionary to japan. 31 v'-:H I FN- ' ' fc, ,,, 9' 'f if We cannot help but say, on enteringthis apartment, This is the place of a man of God. For everything in the room betokens sturdy self-sacrifice and undying devotion to Him Whose name he gloriiies every moment of the day. Such is the personnel of the class of 1907 at Westminster, and such has been their fortune. They have not had an easy voyage all their lives. Trials have 'beset them, temptations have vexed them, and sorrows have flowed over their heads. But they have risen above them all, stronger, brighter, more useful because of their experience. And they have used their inliuence and their lives for God, country, and humanity. From our well-beloved old college XVe are going forth today, Eager for the sterner battles We will meet along the way. Vague the future lies before us, Dear old college days are done. May each one be ever worthy To be called Westrninster's son. Chums held dear for years must sever, Each to go where Duty calls, In memory they'll live forever, ' These years in old Westminsteris halls. We are here today, but where tomorrow? Will We meet again? Ah! who can tell? Holds the future joy or sorrow? Alma mater, boys, farewell.

The class of 1909 assembled for the first time on the campus of Westmin- ster College in the fall of 1905. From the little bunch of faltering freshmen has grown the sturdy sophomore class of today, majestic, imperious, honored. Those who have won their spurs on the gridiron and diamond, together with the bulging-brovved veterans of declamatory and oratorical contests, some embryo preachers and a little cannibal food, go to make up what is perhaps the most remarkable class ever marshalled beneath the true blue. Napoleons of the athletic field are two in number, Willa Stokes and Nick Cave, and amongst those who have followed them through victory and defeat are Osie Lee Mclntire, Miller, and Benny Lehenbauer. Nor can we pass without mentioning other aspiring athletes in the persons of Gingrich, of Invincible fame, and Darling Wilson. Ambassador Roadhouse, from the Dominion of Canada, is the 'the man behind the gun' in debating interests around the college, while Dutch Maier and Tandy Bush give much promise of futuregreatness. The latest member of the class to come into the limelight was Prof, Lang, who Won the oratorical. Once upon a time 'tBob Foster won the declamatory, but since then his time has been devoted almost exclusively to the Glee Club, of which Squirts Harrison is also an enthusias- tic member. But when it comes to the piano Sally VanHoy is particularly it. Paderewski himself couldn't hold a candle to Sally, Ludwig Trimble, Sleepy Allen, and George Will Robertson are the only surviving members of that all but extinct order of The Sons of Rest. Then, too, there is no little nobility in the ranks of this class: Baron Washburn, who stands head and shoulders above the rest, the right Honorable Earl of Stanza, and Herr,' Mclntire, the star of a thousand Gym shows. But now we must turn to the least noble Romans of them all, that part of the body politic which -subsists by graft. There is I-Iumphery of century book fame, Skoots ' Harner and Pee-wee Woods, who fain would become as corrupt as that miserable triumvirate--Camp, Ferguson, and Stocks-which manages the college Monihgf and Lecture Course. Keep good company and you'll be one of them? ' 40 j.t maui: .zfzzfi-:ffl-4: Saul 3,1 -.m,.,.fT..,,...-.,.,-, ..,..,,.,,.....,.,.,,, V, , W, A Z I X I p 2 5 1 E 4 523' , ., V ,.- v fl 011' , 74' ..

We are painfully con- scious that this neophyte class has from time to which the memory of man runneth not to the contrary been painted verdant as the proverbial Irish hill- side, but this is happily not true, for marshalled under our proud banner of royal purple stand many of the most representative men in college, men pre- eminently active in every department of college life. i We enumerate with pleasure the names of our fellows. There are the little, dark-skinned boys from the beautiful Pearl of the Antilles, Torres, the popular president of the class, and Cata, versed in chasing, both future ex- pounders of the Gospel. Barrows, who comes from the citv of opulent emi- nence, is skilled with the portrayal pencil and is an aspirant to Willie'i honors. Gunn, tall and angular, whose chief eifort is to appear dignihedg Duncan, though from the 'Kburg of smiles is a studious, taciturn youngster, Tucker a splendid fellow and a preacher, sings in the glee club. Ready, a diminutive chap, yet of superlative quality, for good things always come in small packages., Leabo, the declaimer, with trembling optics and frantic ges- tures, takesiexpression and makes impressions at William Woods. Bond, the unassuming tonsorial artist severs you from your hirsute adornment with mathematical precision. Jones, long of limb and broad of shoulder, a positive quantity with the weaker sex, especially fond of mathematics, having taken Trig three times, will probably become a minister. Hercules Pankey, who has Won fame on the foot ball Held. has an excellent bare-of-tone voice, destined for a college president. Bill Pipkin, stellar performer on the grid- iron and foot ball captain, with beautiful azure eyes and lovely hair, which he unfortunately neglects, is a lion among ladies. Koelling is an aggressive Y. M. C. A. man and a sterling Christian. McCready, a product of Americals infant state, has an enviable propensity for stinging the profs, Weymouth, unpretentious and studious, makes good grades. Rulison, the red-man, whose one unsurmountable obstacle is the abstruse Geometry, will revise the present textbook and thus facilitate the study. Lasley, a true son of the emerald isle of the ocean is an exemplary base ball captain, and Hord, our peerless short-stop, has won laurels on the gridiron. Many others of equal merit, too numerous for the space allotted us, deserve mention in this class chronicle. The class is alaudable aggregation of amiable, congenial you11g men. 9' N TI-IEW radiant constellation of classes that sparkle in the pure blue of .....-:ef-:2a:...:zQAi21.:.:a 1.1-,.-.ax:,i.w.a Q.-aH...a........,..,..........., - - sf-- . 3 l l D-'L v 5 i 5 s 3 5 f 5 E i i 5 m r E I , 5112 853 iigxmffffcg .

QQM .8' THE PHILOLOGIC LITERARY SOCIETY ff t J' lg pil .. .4 -.Xi PHILOLOGIC IVIANDOLIN AND GLEE CLUB HE Philologic Literary Society claims the distinction of being the oldest T literary society in the state. It was founded on january 15, 1852, by eight students of the then Fulton College. Its history has been unin- terrupted, and the seven volumes containing the minutes of the meetings for 'dfty-five .years are an interest and a source of pride to every one who is privi- leged to peruse them. The society now consists of forty-live members. The spirit of enthusiasm, which has been the dominating factor throughout its existence, still prevails. The Work of this year has been first class. Aware of the fact that success cannot come by depending only on a few competent men, but from the united efforts of all individuals, the society has endeavored to create an interest which would result in a greater number competing in contests. These efforts have been more than realized. Last year the 'Logics had ten contestants for the annual inter-society contest, this year the number has been increased to thir- 50 ,EA , A, , m,,,,4,,, - .,,,......v-.,,.........- , -,- . ..

This large nmnber necessitates a preliminary contest in our own hall, but the greater efforts and pains taken in preperation invariably result in pro- ducing stronger and more eflicient men. At the last inter-society declamatory contest the 'Logics succeeded in winning the prize. ' The same policy has been pursued in oratory and debate. Suflice it to say that i11 the last oratorical contest the 'Logics won the three first places, while in debate a 'Logic received the highest marks in every contest. Of our three inter-collegiate debators two are aihliated with the 'Logic society. We can write only a word in regard to other work the society has done. In all our prosperity we have not neglected our home, the historic 'Logic Hall. It has been beautiied in many ways. New and more substantial chairs have been substituted for the oldg the old debating table, used for many years, has been replaced by a new debating standg the secretary has been given a new, up-to-date desk. The society has adopted a pin, plain yet neat, whereby each member may express his loyalty. During the year our constitution and by-laws were revised to conform to the needs of our progressive and growing society. ai. . . , 1 2 ac LIUZIYE-ips, 8 af gs leg!! l -: if Q f esimmsten Boll Q .

HE success of literary society is not always measured by a great number of initiates or by a great outward of ability in its programs and contests. And yet the Philalethian society is conspicuous in both these regards as may be seen by the number of Philalethians on the alumni list of the college and by the number of contests won by its members. But the great criterion of success in such an institution is the influence the society exerts on the after life of its members. In other words, a literary so- ciety exists. primarily for the training of men to do literary work, and contests and society rivalry are but incentives to the members to work. And this is a plank in the platform of Philalethia: A literary training for every man in the society. And she has been more than successful i11 this regard. Look at her alumni list and see the number of prominent men-literary men, too-in church and state, Who were never considered as contest material. Had we space we might speak of some of our famous alumni, but there is left to us to only mention two or three who are known to everybody. First, two jurists of known ability: judge W. H. Wallace, of Kansas City, the prose- cutor of the James boys, and Hon. C. O. Bishop, of St. Louis, the man be- hindthe gunl' in the Folk boodle trials. Then three prominent ministers and educators, Rev. W. H. Marquess, D.D., LLQD., of Louisville Theological Seminary, Rev. J. F. Cowan, D.D., and Rev. D. S. Gage, Ph.D., both pro- fessors in Vlfestminster College, and we could mention two hundred others, all leaders among men in law. medicine, theology, journalism, and business. May her success in the past be an incentive to old Philalethia to greater glory 'in the future. a .,,f,.,m,.,..: .... ,, .,.s-...-.aw-.ts..A .-,..s.....,.. .....s,..,.,i -. -. Y.- s, .

Tucker SECRETARY James Allen Uhr Gbraturiral A HE twentieth annual oratorical contest between the two literary societies fi was held in the college chapel on the night of December 14, 1906. The Philologics were represented by Messrs. H. B. Lang, E. B. Switzer, and james Alleng the Philalethians by Messrs. H. G. Stocks and H. F. McChesney. The usual society spirit prevailed, each society confident of victory. Mr. Lang, speaking on No Safety Except in Lawf' was awarded first place and declared the winner, Switzer, on Child Labor, by two points fell into second place, while Allen using for his subject, The Lonely Conqueror, by three points took third place. McChesney spoke on Altruism, Man's Highest Aim, Stocks 'on Our National Safe-guards, and to them were awarded respective- ly fourth and fifth places. V ' . Westminster is a member of the Missouri Collegiate Oratorical Association and sends a representative to the annual contest. The contest of 1907 was held at Park College, Parkville, on the night of March 8. Mr. Lang, West- n1inster's champion, won second rank in manuscript and fourth -in delivery, giving him, according to the -average of judges' marks, fourth place. Uhr Brhating Gram HE Westminster Debating Team, under the control of the joint session of I the two literary societies, was organized in the fall of 1906. N. T. Cave 'is the 1906-7 captain. Its object is not only to create interest in debating but develop -strong men in the work and thus win for Westminster a high rank in inter-collegiate debating. Regular public debates are held at intervals of sev- eral Weeks. A system of grading has been adopted, and the record of the grades of each debater is kept and announced from time to time. This creates much rivalry but results in much painstaking preparation by each debater to A ' , 56 ,,,,.,,,,.s,.,..-h .am..a...,a.,.--4 i l i Q r l r i l l P E F l l , i i 2 s I 5 5 I l ?

During the year two inter-collegiate debates were arranged. The first was scheduled with William Jewell College, and was held in Liberty on the 11ight of April 9. The question chosen was Resolved, that the United States should establish a system of postal saving banks, of which Westminster con- tended for the negative. Westminster's representatives were Messrs. N. T. Cave, John VVashburn, and A. F. Roadhouse. The decision was given to Westminster. ' The next debate will be with Missouri Valley College and will be held in Fulton. The same question will be used but Westminster this time will up- hold the aflirmative.

In time, GTF however, it failed tomeet and to satisfy the needs of the students. Thus was brought about the establishment in . Westminster College of the Y. M. C. A. It is with pride we note that ours is the oldest college association in the state of Missouri, and one of the first organized in the United States and Canada. For more than a quarter of a century the Y. M. C. A. has striven to realize its ideal of a three-fold development of young men in West- minster College, and today is earnestly working to carry forward the Master's cause among the young men of Fulton.

The great convention of student volunteers, assembled at Nashville last year, demonstrated that the movement is one of gigantic proportions. The band in Westmin- ster College had its begin- ning June, 1901, with three members: C. C. Tevis, W. A. Wren, and I. E. Bay- less. At present this band numbers twelve earnest and consecrated young men, who have declared it their purpose, God permitting, to become laborers in the for- eign mission lield. Since the beginning of the move- ment in Westminster twenty-six of her young n1en have been led to make this declaration, and are now preparing themselves here and in seminaries for this their life work. . 60 5 E22 4:2235 .......,.,. ..-,..,,,..-,.1.,. THE VOLUNTEER BAND i r V K TH li if il El KE ' I l ff l f I 4 Q 5, pf ri Ewing Blink EPEIQIIP xl 9' N MARCH 1902, tlieiorganization known as the Westminster Living ii Link League was effected in Westminster. Its membership is drawn 'J from the students faculty, and alumni of the college, its purpose, as ex- pressed in its constitution, is to support a graduate of Westminster on the foreign held and thereby deepen the missionary spirit of the college and aid in the speedy evangeli- zation of the worldf' - This noble movement has steadily grown until , its membership now numbers more than half of our students, subscribing 95600 for the support of A. B. Dodd, our chosen representative on the foreign field. Mr. Dodd graduated from Westminster in the class of 98 with the highest honors. While in college he Won the McCoy mathematics medal and the James H. Brookes Bible prize. Entering Princeton Seminary, he took the regular and post-graduate courses. He finished in 1902 with highest honors, Winning the Green fellowship in Hebrew, amount- ing to 35600. The league has been fortunate in securing the services of a man of such large attaiuments and staunch Christian manhood. His workin China since 1903 has covered a varied field, and his letters, coming to us at intervals from the very heart of the foreign mission Work, keep the missionary spirit burn- ing brightly in our midst. His life, consecrated to his master's work, is an inspiration to others of our college to take up the great work. Everytstudent' and alumnus should feel that he has a part in this movement and should feel it not only a duty but a rare privilege to enlist in this effort of his alma mater to maintain herself as a real, live Living Link in the chain of life and love with which we pray the earth may be encircled in this generation.

It was at this time under the joint control of the two literary societies of the college. For awhile the publi- cation was entirely suspended, then taken up again and issued with lapses and intermissions under various names until the fall of 1901, when it was revived by Martin Yates, Ir., under the old title of the Westminster Monthly. Since this time it has been published continuously, The magazine, until May, 1905, was published under private control and management exclusively. At this time, however, it was brought under the control of the students and faculty. Each year the student body chooses one representative from each of the college classes and one from the academy as a whole, which representatives serve with a member of the faculty as the Board of Control of the Monthly. This board elects the manager from the student body and the editor-in-chief from the senior or junior classes, and has entire charge of the management of the paper, except such as is delegated to the manager and editor-in-chief. The present board is made up as follows: Faculty member, Dr. Marquess, senior class, P. A. Lehenbauer, junior class, F. C. Tompkins, sophomore class, H. B. Lang, freshman class, G. L. Tucker, academy, A. F. Grimm. The Monthly in the college year '06-07 has reached its highest point of excellency, due to the determined efforts of an editor and a staif of associates, spurred on by the desire to place the publication in the rank it deserves along- side the best college publications in the state. The present staff is composed as follows: Editor-in-chief, J. B. Harris, '07, business manager, Hinton Camp, '07, exchange editor, H. F. McChesney, '07, athletic editor, H. W. Mc- Cuitchan, '07, religious editor, james Allen, jr., '08, fraternity editor, H. G. Stocks, '08, around the college, C. L.

'larouxx A Qlnnriav igizlnrg nf lglyi Brlta Elyria HE Phi Delta Theta fraternity was founded at Miami University, Ox- ford, Ohio, on the night of December 26, 1848, by Messrs. Robert Morrison, John McMillan Wilson, Robert Thompson Drake, John Wolfe Lindley, Ardivan Walker Rodgers, and Col. Andrew Watts Rogers. Rev. Robert Morrison, who was for many years actively connected with Westmin- ster College, designed the pin and wrote the Bond of Phi Delta Theta. The fraternity is governed by the Honorable, the General Council, com- posed of five men, of which C. F. Lamkin, '99, president of the Alumni Associ- ation of Westminster College, is Historian. A further subdivision into pro- vinces, each under the charge of a province president, secures harmonious and careful administration. Conventions are held bi-annually. Phi Delta Theta points with pride to her alumni, the roll of the fraternity contains numerous names of public men, such as cabinet oflicers, senators, representatives, governors, diplomats, oiiicers of the United States army, and men prominent in the professions. Among those might be mentioned the names of ex-President Benjamin Harrison, who was the fourteenth member of the fraternity and was, at the time of his death, president of the Indiana state organization of Phi Delta Theta, Adlai E. Stevenson, ex-vice-president, E. H.. Conger an ambassador to China durin g the Boxer War, Brigadier-General Frederick Funston, who did noble service at the San Francisco disaster, J. C. Blackburn, senator from Kentucky! Eugene Field, the poet, John W. Foster, ex-secretary of stateg William Allen White and Ray Stannard Baker. A Erirf Skrtrh nt' illliannuri E1-ta ISSOURI Beta chapter was established October 27, 1880. Since that time one hundred and sixty-six students have passed through its mystic portals. The chapter has just moved into a very beautiful hall, in the new I. O. O. F. building, where all the functions and meetings are held. For years the chapter has been planning to build a chapter house, and now it seems that their hopes will be realized in the immediate future. Among the alunmi of this chapter are numbered prominent lawyers. physicians, ministers. journalists, and business men. Dr. Wylie H. Forsythe, a missionary to Korea, was initi- ated by Missouri Beta. The presidents of four colleges-Dr. F. W. Hinnitt, of Central University, M. H. Reaser, of VVilson College, G. F. Ayres, of Lindenwood, and Colin A. McPheeters, of Synoclical College-are all alumni of Missouri Beta chapter of Phi Delta Theta. 71 LIN .FT Yer'49'iEQv.i 15413 .fv . 5 y 3 .I 'NV' ga' .

The fraternity became such a benefit to the members that the founder conceived the idea of expansion and, with this in view, the original constitution was formed. The fraternity has since grown steadily, and at the present is represented in sixty-nine of the most prominent institutions of learning ill the United States and Canada. The membership of Beta Theta Pi is at present nearly fifteen thousand. Twice during the lifetime of the fraternity, a union has been affected with other smaller fraternitiesg in each case the alumni of these organizations have been received into full membership. Beta Theta Pi has more of its chapters in houses than any other fraternity. The official organ is the Beta Theta Pi Magazinef' which has bee11 published continuously for thirty-five years. For convenience of administration, chapters have been arranged geographically into districts. Each district has, as its executive head, an assistant to the general secretary, appointed by him and known as the district chief. The convention of the delegates from the undergraduate chapters meets each year, in midsummer. In a number of the districts, the chapters hold reunions in the winter, and develop a spirit of local loyalty. The colors of the fraternity are light shades of pink and blue, the flower is the rose, each chapter choosing a variety most preferred by its members. M ETA Theta Pi was founded at Miami University, in 1839, hy John Reilly iiiaturg uf Alpha Erlta Qllmpirr HE Westiiiiiister chapter, the Alpha Delta of Beta Theta Pi,.was estab- I lished March 5, 1868, being the Erst chapter of any fraternity west of the Mississippi river, and has a record of which we may feel proud. The chief characteristics have always been congeniality and scholarship, not that scholar- ship which strives for grades alone, but that which ever pushes forward to the goal of truth and honor. The most distinguished sons of Westminster are found among the alumni of Alpha Delta, and their devotion to the old chapter has been very marked through all these years. There are fifteen members in the chapter this year who strive with devotion and loyalty to uphold the stan- dard which Alpha Delta has always maintained. 75 lil ,, ull Q11 ll afll ll' Il ll lil :ll il il! my 14 H ll I -l l Ii l ll il il I ! i 'x I l !

Four students, J. N. Wood, W. N. Scott, S. M. Scott, and VV. A. Walsh, who had served under him, consulted with Gen. Robert E. Lee, the new president of the college, and with his approval founded the order. From the fact that at its origin Kappa Alpha had the opposition of five other fraternities in a college of only one hundred and forty-six men, it may be seen that its early history was one of conflict. The prestige given it, however, by its relation to General Lee, and the noble principles and lofty ideals embodied in its ritual, could not but result in its rapid growth. ' Kappa Alpha is the only fraternity' that has always restricted its activity to the south, and now it has occupied all the leading institutions in its chosen territory. It now has forty-eight active and fifty-eight alumni chapters and the chapters in each state maintain a state organization. The government of the fraternity has been frictionless throughout its history. Its authority is vest- ed in a council of live general oilicers, who, in connection with the conventions manage the affairs of the order. The fraternity colors are crimson and gold, the Howesr, magnolia and red rose, the motto: t'Dieu et Les Dames. The flag consists of three broad bars, crimson, white, and gold, placed parallel to the staff, in the order named. On the white bar is the eight pointed crimson cross. Kappa Alpha has always claimed its share of the best men in the institu- tions where it exists, and today many bearing the cross and shield are winning distinction in life. We mention a few: Richn1ond'P. Hobson, John Temple Graves, orator and statesman, Thomas Dixon, jr., the novelist, Gov. J. W. Folk, Brigadier-General E. A. Garlington, and Col. Ed Chambers Smith, of loyal fame, who now holds the highest oliice in the gift of the fraternity. . Erirf Tiizinrg nf Alpha ilita LPHA ETA was chartered February 5, 1890, when a local fraternity, Chi Beta Delta, composed of Augustus Hockaday, P. B. Bartley, G. E. Keithley, A. B. Garvin, W. C. Sharks, J. R. Pourie, C. L. Hemming, J. B, Gray, and T. M. Barbee, was absorbed by Kappa Alpha. having refused charters from seven other fraternities. Alpha Eta's career has been a prosperous one, having led into the Greek world one hundred and nine men, whose loyalty to Kappa Alpha no one can doubt. The standard set and maintained by the chapter has been high, and the fraternal spirit has been very manifest. 79 SYNODICAL FEMALE COLLEGE 1-57 4-0'sf ,fo 5 OMITLID 6 g g 'Milf' ii 1.6555 iKvuir1u nf Athlviira HOSE interested in athletic life at Westminster have long had dreams of the time when she should have an athletic field of her own, where her teams could practice on good grounds, and at any time they chose. This dream has been made a reality, mainly through the generosity of judge H. S. Priest, of St. Louis, who last August presented his alma mater a field of sixteen acres of level ground adjoining the campus on the west and lying just beyond the historic Stinson creek. Work on the field was begun at once so that the gridiron would be ready for the fall games, and the field was formally dedicated on the Hfth of October. Besides its value to athletics, the possession of such a field gives us grounds for plans and hopes that Westminster will soon have a campus excelled by none in beauty and grandeur. During the past few years athletics have been making steady advances and now stand on a firmer foundation than for several years. Each year the stu- dent body has increased in size. Each year a larger number of students has become interested in athletic work, and this renewed interest has extended to all branches of the work. Inter-collegiate track and field meets are held once more. Basket ball has been introduced. Tennis tournaments are played. And gradually our- foot ball and base ball schedules have become larger and better. The base ball schedule of 1906 consisted of eleven games, with the follow- ing institutions: Missouri State University, Central College, St. Louis Univer- sity, Missouri Valley College, Wentworth Military Academy, VVarrensburg State Normal School, Missouri School for Deaf, and Washington University. The most striking feature of this year's work is the closer organization and more conscientious training. This has been brought about by the enlarge- ment and perfection of the new system of control which was inaugurated in 1904. Under the present system the student body elects one from each of the three lowest college classes who, with the athletic instructor, as secretary, and a faculty member, who is treasurer, comprise the Board of Control. This board has the supervision and control of all branches of athletics, and they elect one of the student members as manager. The manager is responsible only to the board and must make a report at the end of each season, of all funds passing through his hands. The board elected for the year 1907 is as follows: F. C. Tompkins, '08, f37'6'Sill7E7lZ'j E. E. Hord, '10, Vice-Preszkienig H. H. Harner, '09, fllafzagzfrg Prof. C. C. Knight, 5l6'C7'6'f6l7jfj Prof. W. H.

KNIGHT, who coached the team this year comes to us from Coe College, Iowa. His ability as a trainer, together with his strong christian character, has won him the admiration and respect of all students. His active interest in every phasetof college life has gained him their conlidence and support. I Mr. Knight, when a player, used his head as well as his body, and consequently his mind is ac- tive in the production of new plays, conforming to the new style of play. He also enforces strict ad- herence to the training rules, which are sometimes so irksome. Therefore we feel that the success of future teams will not be prospective, but certain under the direction of such a man.

Out of last year's team only six had returned to college, and two of these were under stern orders from home to risk not their lives on the bloody Held. But valuable new material was discovered, and the old polished up, until we had a team which com- pared favorably with the last. A most potent factor in the developing of a winning team is enthusiasm, and the team never lacked this, while they were always backed by true spirit and had the perfect confidence of the student body whom they represented. The first game of the season was played at Warrerisburg, against the State Normal team at that place. The Blue Jays went on the field immediately after their long journey, amid cries of Down with the Preachers. But the Teachers were too confident, and when the whistle finally blew Westiiiinster had 6 points while the Normals had the goose egg. This game was quite a blow to the Warreiisbiirg team, while to the Westniiiister students it was the occasion for a grand torch-light, and iiiglit-shirt parade, to cheer the team on to other victories. 2 it The first game on Priest Field was with the Columbia Normal team. They outweighed us several pounds to the man. but fell easy prey to our faster team. It was during this game that our fast quarterback turned an ankle and was disabled for fast work during' the remainder of the season. Had it not been for this mishap Westminster would have made a far larger score than 12 to 5. For only twice did the Normal team succeed in making first down, and their one touchdown was unearned. In spite of the crippled condition of the team, the boys next journeyed to Fayette where, although weak and tired from the trip, they struggled man- fully for victory, but lost, for the Hrst and only time during the season. But as grievances are better umnentioned and a sad story better untold, enough has been said. Our game with Shurtleff College was cancelled by them. The next game was with the Missouri School for Deaf, the team which last year twice tied 86' Q Gout S1151 co xo u acl' X st , 'x rf . lmzsnu ' as . Q'L1'ON-90 the score with usp 3.l1Cl it was an important one for the reason that it decided the local championship which is always guarded so zealously. By this time the team was using the forward pass successfully and had its trick plays working smoothlyg so the game was a fast one, and representative of the new style of play. Westiiiinster won by a score of 20 to 0. Then came a time of hard and earnest practice when all energy was devoted to the preparation for the avenging of the loss to Central College. But that was not to comeg for just before the contest Central decided that she should not lose and refused to keep her part of theagreement. The refusal to play was considered by all Westiiiiiister men as a victory for the Blue Jays, be- cause they were in excellent conditiong while the Central team was just about to disorganize on account of their defeat by Washington University. Disappointment fades with time and our misfortune has been forgotten in the greater benefits which have come from the season's work. After all, the importance of the place filled by foot ball in college life does not come from the number of games won, nor from the amusement aifordedg but from the value ofthe physical development and of that true training of the foot ball which teaches a man to think and act quickly amid scenes of the wildest excitement. 87 FOOT BALL SQUAD srm so .. ,jf 0 uuirbmm maui?

Where a few years ago it was confined to a few of thewlarger colleges, and considered a game for girls, now almost every high school has a team and it has become one of the most popular games in college athletics. Over thirty of the Westniiiister students were engaged in this sport during 1906-7, and a hall was rented by them in the city. Captains were chosen and four teams were organized, who played a very exciting and interesting series of games for the championship. This was won by the team captained by F. D. Bruton, but the contest was very close and victory was not certain until the end of the very last game. The game at Westmiiister is only in its second year and this, together with the fact that the college gymnasium does not contain a court convenient for exhibition games, has prevented the arrangement of an extensive schedule. However, a marked improvement was noticed in all players. And we hope WGSt111l11StCf will soon have indoor courts so that basket ball will stand on equal footing with other athletics. 92 RlNG the last several years basket ball has had perhaps more rapid -QQ -E-Y V I - - - -3- -- - ALM.. ..r-- 5-:ff gm: 7 5 Q9 0.1144 qi. .BH fa gg E: Egg Q, ' .0' BASKET BALL TEAMS HARNER BRUTON QCapt.D KERR, D.

' ' The program of the day wascarried through smoothly and fairlyg and who can doubt that each contestant put forth his best efforts, in response to the shrill cries of encouragement that were heard on all sides? Zest was added to the contest by the fact that a cup, known as the Gazette Trophy Cup, had been offered by the Fulton Gazeife. The man who won the largest total of points during the meet was entitled to have his name engraved on the cup and hold it one year. This honor was won by Fred D. Bruton, who shortened the time for Westminster in all of the dashes and scored a total of twenty-tive points. In addition to this the athletic board granted certificates to all who won first or second places in any eventg and also placed in the college library a tablet inscribed with the names of the winners in each event and their record,-a copy of which is given on the opposite page. Records were broken also in the hammer throw, by O. L. Mclntireg and in the discus throw, by F. C. Tompkins. A large number of students are interested in spring athletics and we hope by means of what is called new material, and by more earnest training to raise the records in several events this year. The track team of '07 is not entirely new and we are coniident the boys will hold high the banner of old VVestmmster through whatever may come. .

The comic editor now takes up his pen in order to perform this painful dutyj In the first place, kindly allow us to remind you of the fact that college annuals have been published since Methuselah was a boy playing circus in his father's barnyard. Therefore do not, ifyou please, too harshly criticise the staleness of the material in this book. It is quite probable that Elisha's theological seminary on Iordan's banks produced an annual containing some of the same articles and jokes to be found on the following pages. The field of ,fable and fancy has been so thoroughly worked over that it is practic- ally impossible to find anything new. Many of our slang expressions were well known before the discovery of America, some were doubtless in common use before the walls of Troy. Therefore the editor has not attempted to invent anything newiin that line. He has simply tried to use some of the usual col- lege lingo, to write English as it is spoken. An effort has been made to maintain a high standard of propriety ,' and we trust that nothing whatever of a questionable nature will be found in this section. We have also tried to avoid anything which could possibly injure the feelings of any one, or be misconstrued as a personal insult. VVe beg and hope that you will receive this section in the same jolly good spirit in which it is offered. Please permit us also to remind you that this editor and his accomplices are seniors, whose minds are filled to overfiowing with the mighty problems of philosophy, before which Xenophanes of Colophon laid down his arms, and Anaxagoras of Clazomenal went off holding his jaw. Therefore, if we seem to have indulged in foolish Hights in fancy's realm, it is only the natural con- sequence of long association with the weird yet profound philosophical theories of ancient Greece. This fact also makes it hard for us fully to sympathize with the lightness and frivolity of the present age. If the following words shall succeed in bringing a smile to some forlorn face, to a slight extent easing some one's weary burden on 1ife's stormy up- ward way, our efforts will not have been in vain. n 104 l 1 3 I I 5 4 I 1 ! E 5T!H ,. -f :fo . ' r-' . f nam P Q -1'Oll-90' Uhr St. Ennis 2-Xggregatiun N THE western banks of the great Father of Waters lies a city, big, smoky, wicked, and wealthy. Many youths of this burg are accus- . tomed to seek physical, moral, mental, and spiritual training at West- minster, in the quiet and peaceful town of Fulton, which the St. Louis stu- dents consider as a suburb of The City,', as they proudly call their native hamlet. They look down with contempt upon the simple swain who has his lair amid the hazel brush of Calwood and Yucatan, and would fain often refer to the superiority of Smith Academy and Central High to the district schools offthe countryside. Even those Qiqiil, dwelling in villages are considered as closely related to the savage aborigines. The personal characteristics of this aggregation vary very widely. While most of them are broad- skirted Dutch urchins, their num- ber also includes Hebrews, Irish, Americans, Poles, and smaller sticks. Their experiences would fill a big book. Some have been train- ' ed in the United States navy, some have hunted big game in Canada, some have crossed the Pacific in an airship, and others have toured Central Africa on a motor cycle. Upon their first arrival in our charming village, they glance with suspicion at the native maidens, but soon, like all the other students, they fall in love with some dear damsel, fair and foxy, and many moist and briny tears flow from their optical organs at the sad hour of parting. 'Twas ever thus. For human friendships are formed but to be broken, and faintly to represent the eternal friendships in that home above, toward wl1ich our earliest footsteps turn. And the St. Louisans also gradually begin to mingle among the other students of Westminster, laying aside some of their preposterous verbosity for the simple slang of the rabble, so that they are finally able to speak the regu- lation college lingo, the most highly developed vehicle of human thought. If Zeus had spoken English, he would have spoken college English. sv S 105 fag- K . , 1, ' ' 'wr J ...I 1, 4 But we would not underestimate the usefulness of the St. Louis gentleman. He raises the standard of dignity of the student body. He offers valuable advice to the faculty. His mother sends him candy, which is liberally shared with his friends. His father gives of his wealth for college athletic fields. He furnishesa knowledge of the most recent style in stiff hats. On the whole, he makes himself useful as well as detrimental, and we would be very sad without him. So would the young ladies. The members of this aggregation are quite popular with the faculty, and are always well represented at the faculty receptions, held at the eighth hour on Tuesdays. These little affairs are highly enjoyable, but very exclusive, and few students have ever been privileged to attend them. May the St. Louisans ever increase in number and efficiency, and spread abroad their benign influence even as a moulting rooster spreadeth abroad his old feathers.

Ellie Agrirultural Aggregatinn from the rough and rugged rocks of Callaway county, many young men of rustic tastes and rural ways have been gathered into the classic city of Fulton, the Athens of Missouri., where they bow at the shrine of knowl- edge, and follow a college course, usually a considerable distance therefrom. Some of them having been born in log cabins, having split rails with a close- bark hickory maul, and having in their extreme youth destroyed various and sundry cherry trees by n1ethods surreptitious and supernatural, are eligible to the presidency of the United States. A member of this aggregation, upon reaching Fulton in autumn, usually closes a contract for having the super- fluous vegetation artistically removed from his scalp. This operation always results in bringing to light an immense quantity of hay, grain, cockleburs, and small tools used about the farm. Having been relieved of his thatched roof. :HROM the broad prairies and fertile fields of Missouri, but especially and having laid aside the samples ,Y ' 1 i l of real estate from his hands, he 4-fi -faces the awful realities and weighty gm- f responsibilities of college life, that h a d ly, , mysterious period so full of un- ,, 5,3,:x limited possibilities to the barefoot - boy who looks forward to it, and so Zigi-5 Q Q full of pleasant memories to the 45 ,Iam silver-haired octogenarian who .gglbhw 'A ' pauses at the door of the tomb for , 'W one last lingering look back to the Z .- happy days spent within the college gg . -1 walls. Q Many farmer boys have nevei ridden on a street car before coming here-and none of them do while here. A few have never even seen paved streets. Some of us may be surprised to learn that many of our most intelli- gent students belong to this aggregation, and although at first they may stand E1 awe of the City boy with his loud raiment and louder ways, they generally surpass him in mental calibre. Fifteen or twenty years of life in the open air provides the gentle rustic with a constitution which enables 111111 to live at the dormitory or at other grub joints less notorious, but fully deadly. Good luck to Reuben, wherever he may wander in his winding pathway. 107 fl, : , Q. we LL., f -'Q . Q, if Uh?

It has assumed the form of organized effort, under the supervision of able grafters, and the accomplishments of this body of men would have made our forefathers stand aghast.

Q ' 'Was , 5- av -4 - simple, consisting mainly of one or two experienced bosses, and an indefinite number of easy victims, who are intent on learn- ing how to victimize others. The initiatory observances consist mainly of memorizing three or four hundred pages of slush about some book. The purpose of the organiza- tion is not exactly philanthropic. The grafters go forth to wrest hard-earned shekels from the feeble lingers of widows and spinsters, and to snatch away the moldy crust from the mouths of fatherless children. Their motto is,. Get all the money you can, in all the ways you can, from all the people you can, Their highest ambition is to sell books to people who donit want them and won't ever use them. If a grafter should sell a book to a person who had any use for it, the said grafter would lose his stand- ing with The Companyf' as they proudly call the unfortunate who claim the distinction of controlling the entire movement. They profess to believe that if the wonderful pamphlet could only be distributed over the entire world, 109 A. , x ii .7 i. , darkness and superstition would be eradicated from the planet, ignorance would seek the most profound depths of the moist and moaning brine, and the millenium would arrive on the next train. They recommend it to foreign mission boards. The habits of the grafters -are also worthy of notice. In the spring, when all is blithe and gay, and the young man's fancy should lightly turn to thoughts of love and chasing, these peculiar individuals are wont to assemble themselves together in some humble cottage, and there daily, for the space of three months, they practice in secret their infamous ceremonies, until every man, woman, child, dog, cat, and canary within a radius of four hundred and nineteen feet, is thoroughly disgusted and wishes the house would fall down on the gang. But such good luck rarely visits this old earth. Each year before starting out on their mission of woe.. the most proficient of the aggre- gation give a recital, which is always well attended. Their practical training consists largely in learning how to dodge broom- sticks, brickbats, and bull dogs, how to keep on selling books when scalded with hot water or iioored with a rolling pin, how to' help a farmer harness his horses, drive up the young turkeys at night, pail the cows, and feed the swine, and what to say in the presence 'of a dear little infant, the idol of his mother's heart, and the terror of the neighborhood. These and many other stunts must be done by the grafter who would fain receive many shekels for his summer's work. The conscience must be packed away in moth balls, along with the winter clothing, text books, and New Year resolutions, else it might be lost somewhere during the summer. For similar reasons, the temper should also be placed in cold storage. The ways of the grafter are truly numerous, marvellous, insidious, and felonious. . ,f1fQNw. - 9 is I -' -ixv-2 i s ..., n A V A' an o 4 v 4 o H U' L S-Ennsur. ' THE GLEE CLUB 110 SER co IVE . P- . ' mmm P . M ' Q0-TDNYO Elin Snmntp Angela OME queer specimens have appeared at Westminster, but the queerest of all come from the swamps of southeast Missouri. When they first come to Fulton they all wear rubber boots, and seem surprised to find that the mud here is not always thirteen inches deep. They play in mud- puddles, fracture the college jumping records, and in various other ways dis- play their frog-like tendencies. The best I tumbler in Westniinster today is a swamp g, lf, ,j fc,-' angel, and probably spent much of his X, AU, il f,ff, , ,fyjlff , ' , youth in watching tadpoles and fighting l 'fx , ,lil iiiiif g mosquitoes.

A The productiveness of the swamp land 'lr xi? is something marvelous. Strawberries there grow as big as pumpkins here, and watermelons are as big as cows. Pump- kins are hollowed out and used for barns. The mosquitoes also attain an enormous size and an admirable physique, and are trained to draw wagons and bear burdens. Perhaps this brief sketch of the swamps will enable us better to understand the peculiar characteristics of the students who dwell in the midst thereof. They are noted as leaders in athletics, scholarship, and literary attainments. They are easily excited, and when attacked will fight ferociously. Wlien walking on dry land they have a rather remarkable gait, probably due to years of wading in the mud. But their crowning feature is their never-failing good humor, which enables them to take whatever comes their way. All honor to the gentlemen from the swamps, the land of lizards and mud turtles. 111 ff F I ,Q,2'g'.f .x . lla , 1 if 332211 Biarg nf an Hnrral Zlirvahman EPTEMBER 11, 1906. Well, here I am at Westminster Dormitory. I got up early this morning, pailed the old blue and red cow, then put on my Sunday clothes and started to the railroad, out at Cucklebur Corners. There I got on a real railroad train, like I have often seen in pictures. It went faster than I ever drove old Sodom to the buggy, even on good roads. On this side of Mexico, however, the speed did not exceed two hundred miles per hour. I saw an incubator full of eggs put in the express car at Mexico, and some half grown chickens were unloaded at Fulton-not from the same eggs, however, as I at first supposed. When we reached Fulton, a young man wearing a Y. M. C. A. badge asked me my name, whereupon I told him to mind his own business. I guess he will hereafter. Light supper tonight, and I'm hungry, guess I'll go to bed and sleep it off. Before this time tomorrow I will be a college man. September 12. I did not sleep very well last night. There seemed to be considerable noise and moving about iu the room above. I went over to the college this morning, and was surprised to find that none of the professors knew about pa or Uncle Si. They seemed glad to learn, however, and the secretary asked me a lot of questions about the family, when ma had the measles and chickenpox, and at what age pa cut his first teeth. I told her the folks were all well when I left home. She smiled and seemed very much pleased with my conversation. The college studies are the queerest I ever saw-no class in third reader or geography. Dr. Scott wants me to study trig- onometry, Deuteronomy, or some other religious subject, but I think I will get a dictionary before chewsing a course. I'm not home sick, but I would like to see pa and the yellow dog. ' September 13. I got my dictionary today and hunted -up some words. It says a dormitory is a place to sleep, but Rip Van Winkle couldn't sleep in this one. The noise is furnished mainly by a string baud and a drum core. l'This morning about 2:00 a. m. I happened to look out at' my door and saw a flock of chairs tumbling down stairs. These 'were soon followed by other pieces of furniture, such as washstands, dressers. clocks, and pieces of beds. The noise was noticeable. The boys here don't seem to think much of my rubber collar, but linen must be very expensive. My roommate says he sends his 'collar to the laundry every month. I went to the postoifice today, and on the street I saw some girls dressed up just like Sis does when she goes to church with Oliver Cromwell Snyder. I asked my roommate if there was a picnic or a 112 -i 1 1 1 I 1 1 l 1 I I' I O 'SER xo tv .fo . 'N P-' . our-mann Q ' as 0. '70-rorv' wedding in town, but he said the girls dress that way every day. Funny girls. September 14. I went to some classes today, but the teachers did not ask anything that I knew, so I cou1dn't say much. Wouldn't they be surprised if they should suddenly find out how much I really know? I wonder if they realize tl1at I may become president of the United States some day. I dislike to mention it to them. just after supper I went to a Y. M. C. A. reception, and I am surprised to 'rind that some of the best looking men in the college are Christians, and they don't seem to be ashamed of it, either. We heard several good speeches, but I was not called on, probably because the chairman didn't know my reputation as a speaker. I used to say a speech every Friday after- noon at school. ' I saw a great number of boys, but none from the Corners. September 15. I went out to foot ball practice today, but it is not a nice game. My center piece is mashed all over the front of my belfry. I ought to have worn a nose guard. One boy had two or three of his arms broken, and another lost his head and couldn' t find it. One guy, whom they called full back, pushed against me in a very ungentlemanly way, and didn't even stop to apologize. I may not play again. I have washed my face and shined my shoes so I will get a good early start to Sunday school in the morning. We had light meals again today-at least, everything was light except the biscuits. I hope they are saving some of those biscuits to macadamize the mud holes in the streets. If it should rain, I couldn't go through town without a life- preserver or a gasoline launch. September 16. I did not wake up this morning, because I was not asleep. Saturday night here is like a Fourth of july at home, only more so. I was surprised to find more people at Sunday school here than we have at regular meeting day at home, and the church house here is bigger than our court house, which is no small shack. I saw a great many girls walking along the street together, all dressed alike. Some are called Willies and some Seminoles. I' don't believe they are real Indians, for they look just like other girls, only more so. Some of the Willies smiled quite beautifully at me, but I am not sure whether it was because of my pleasant, intelligent look, or because my red bandanna was hanging out of my pocket. The boys said it was the latter reason, but they are perhaps jealous. Most of the boys go to the Christian church, and sit in the north gallery. I wonder why? This is a Presbyterian college. Funny boys. September 17. I have been very lonely today, in fact, almost homesick. I cried most of the day, and didn't eat much, because there was not much grub in sight. 113 tiki ' AI. bf I 'Q . September 18. I llunked out five times today. But I have a reason. Last night as I was beginning to study, some of the boys came into my room, stayed about four hours and then asked me to go with them to the cave. Of course I was anxious to see a cave, so went with them, but had a rather un- pleasant experience, and don't care to go again. We 'got back here to the joint about 3:00 a. m., and I did not feel like studying. September 19. I went out to football practice again today. as I felt the need of some hoof exercise. My paddle-boxes are torn loose, so I can't. hear very well, and tive or six of my slats are cracked, so I can't draw a full breath but fortunately my optical machinery is still intact, so I can study. As I came up from the feed-room tonight, some rough neck was laying for me, and sprinkled my roof garden with a pitcher of waterj If I evertind out who did it I shall slug him a few. When I get mad I have enough grit to sand a tarred roof. Guess I'll have to cultivate the gentle art of enjoying myself, as there is nothing else here to enjoy. September 20. The language used in the dining room here is not strictly classical. In fact, a stranger would hardly understand all the terms. I am going to get one of the older boys to write me out a copy of the hash program, as it is highly important for me to' get next to the lingo of the lunch counter. Today one of the waiters turned loose a lot of dishes, which promptly hit the floor. Thereupon the youth grabbed his face in his hands and retired pre- cipitated from the scene. I guess he felt like half a dozen car fares. September 21. This has been a rather uneventful day.. I was badly stung three or four times, but it did not hurt much.. One can getused to anything. After supper tonight I did not have to study, so went out to the tick shack, where they keep people who have cobwebs in their garrets. Every Tuesday and Friday nights the inhabitants of that shack shove the hoof, and a good many of their pals from town go out there to help them. All of the ticks dress fancy, and some of the women were draped like a Grecian goddess on house-cleaning day. Their conversation works are also out of gear. One old chap had a voice like a bird seed, and a countenance like a drink of ice water. When they dance they do not seem to enjoy the poetry of motion at all. Most of them look as if they were ready to do the weep act. My thought works may be slightly clogged, but I am going to try to keep on the outside of the tickroost. September 22. I took a walk this afternoon through a section of the city inhabited by dark complected humanity, evidently of African descent. I have seen cleaner houses elsewhere. Out north of town I came to a large enclosure, 114 ' Q I I I I 4 I I I I . I I I .,. I I I I 1 I I I I , . fn 1' 4 5 'mf . Q mngrsgnu P 'ffuom' surrounded by a high board fence, and guarded by a wild looking policeman. The roads around the enclosure were filled with boys, all looking at the win- dows of a big house in the midst of the grounds. Upon inquiring, I learned that the place is the location of a girls' school, in fact, several girls' heads were protruding from various and sundry -windows. The boys in the road were gesticulating wildly to those inside, as if they thought the house was on fire, but I don't believe it was. Some one said they were chasing, If that be chasing may I never learn it. September 23. I went to church again today, as usual, and also went to C. E. this evening. There I met a very clever girl. She offered me her hand. I shook it and handed it back to her. We had quite an interesting conversa- tion, and I thought to makea hit, but when I heard that her tie-up with some citizen of Calwood had been posted, I felt like an ice cream sign in a blizzard. I am getting dreadfully tired of this diary business, and intend to quit it right soon. September 24. College life is becoming so monotonous that there is noth- ing new to write every day, so I guess I will have to give up the idea of keep- ing a diary. Nobodyelse does it anyway. When I get to be president of the United States some one else will write my diary for me, and if I should never attain to greatness, it will not need to be written at all. Moreover, the pro- fessors are beginning to intimate that I ought to study a little every week, and if I have any time left from that, I will write home to pa for some money. If I ever become a senior, I will not wear the pleasant smile and humble ap- pearance of the present senior class. On the contrary, I will strut around town with my nose well elevated, and make the freshmen feel as small as the eyelash of a microbe. I wish I were a senior now, but it cannot be.

I say I never did believe in the transliguration theory, but that was in a previous existence when I was a student of higher learning, in Westniiii- ster College. But now, as I have passed through some twenty metamorphoses 115 -I nit ' :Yi 4 l gifs... ., ,. .Q Eve since then, and remember them all, I know whereof I speak-Illeiempsychasis is ilze genius Qf ZW. . Let me relate to you my history. My first existence was that in which I studied at Westmiiister and scoffed at divine Theosophy. I was sitting one day under one of the large elms on the campus, reading as my Sanscrit lesson that portion of the Sulla Nzfaia in which Buddha speaks of the life of mortals. Suddenly a wind arose, and a large limb of the tree fell on my head, crushing, as I suppose, my skull. I cried out with pain, but strange to say, my voice uttered but a faint mew, such as. a baby kitten 'would make, for I had died and was born again as a cat. , For awhile I couldn't see, but I felt something soft and furry, that purged to me. After about eight days, when my eyes were open, I found that I had four little sisters CI was the only Tomj and that a great big black cat was my mother. During the next few weeks and months, may be you think I didnit boss those girl kittens around. Wheiriever they got too familiar I slapped them over. VVhen I was about a year old, I fell in love with a yellow and black cat just over the way. And every night, when the moon was shining, I would sit on the yard fence and sing to her, My love is a Tiger lilyj' or Not because your eyes are yellow? One night just as I was singing a plaintive lay to the stripes on her beautiful back, the man in the house nearby hit me with something that felt like an earthquake in a china closet. I let out a squall like-1-. 5 ,lust then I heard some one mutter, Consarn it, it's a girl. Yes, I was a girl, with all the feminine arts and wiles. I shall not stop to tell of my childhood. It is sufficient to note, that I grew up in a college town and had a lover among the students from the time I was ten years old. And when I was sixteen, I was the biggest flirt in town, and had a host of admirers and so I was at twenty, and at twenety-five. One bashful swain- was quite a poet. And I was continually receiving from an anonymous source, verses to my Hravenf' hair Che didnit know I used Duby's Ozark herbs to color itj, to my pearly teeth Cthey all came out at nighty, to my beautiful complexion QI used Hind's Honey and Almond Creamj, and to my sparkling glance QBelladonna is a great helpj. One day my poet beau asked me to go with him to a party and I turned him down. O, how I wish I hadn't! For he soon died of a broken heart. O, how I loved him the had lots of money, I found out after- wardsjl Under his pillow was found a declaration of his love to me. And I thereafter considered myself his widow. I used to go out and sit on his grave mourning over his ashes. One chill February day, I caught cold at the ceme- 116 - A l E s . a S i 2 f l l Wg. fmcfis, 1 , fQ?.fl+ ' O tery and died of pneumonia. But this time instead of being reborn immedi- ately, my disembodied splrit for a brief rest made its way to Hades. My stay in Hades was anything but agreeable. For the groans of those Who were leaving and the sights of those coming in, harmonized into the mournfullest of dirges. It was like the sighing and soughing of a wintry wind through the dark pines of the mountain side, or the stately solemn notes of a steam calliope. But at last Nemesis, or Fate, or whoever the good god- dess or devil that guides the destiny of life may be, called me forth to begin my endless wandering again, from pig pens to palaces, from the forests of Africa to a New York apartment house. First I was a nigger, then a flea, then a rhinoceros, caterpillar, mouse, elephant, kangaroo, peacock, hippopot- amus, bumblebee, Chinaman,i'mosquito. The first time I had wings I thought I was getting to be an angel. But alas, it was not even so. I then became a chipmunkg and had my home in the fence near a minerls house. One day when the miner was away I went into his kitchen and there saw a box half full of brown Sticks that looked good to eat. The box had on it in big letters Dynamiie, but I thought that was a new kind of breakfast food. So I began to nibble a stick when Bang! I rubbed my eyes and looked around. I was lying 11nder an elm tree on old W'estminster's campus. A sudden clap of thunder had awakened me. I looked at my watch. I had been asleep just three minutes. , . gh, A, it ef 'A 1 .'

Herr Eduard Katzenjammer von Englehardt Herr Wilhelm Johann Ernst von Stoetzel QThe following is taken from the Fulton Dazbf Reviewj The annual banquet given by the German Brotherhood of Westminster was held in the dining room of Reunion Hall on last evening. The room was very artistically decorated with a tasty display of the local chapter's colors, green and yellow. A three-course dinner was served. 1- 2 3 Wienerwurst Apple Dumplins Cigars Sauerkraut and Potatoes Brezel Schnapps Rolls Schlitz Beer Budweiser Beer After the repast some two hours were spent in witty and entertaining after- dim1er,speeches. Herr Friedrich von Maier presided as toastmaster. Much enthusiastic cheering was done when the president, Herr Alfred Friedrich von Grimm, was introduced. Herr von Grimm spoke on the subject, Fraternal spirit of the German, briefly reviewing the work of the year and in a very eloquent manner making an appeal for closer unity of the race. Herr Wilhelm Johnann Ernst von Stoetzel was next introduced and with his remarkable wit and humor pictured the rediculousness of fashions among Americans. Herr Oom Paul von Reinhardt in his talk spoke lightly of the frivolity of the preceding speaker and referred to the danger of the race drifting into vain babblings of the present age and being influenced by the shallow thinking of writers of today. Herr Reinhardt told of the profound iniiuence of Schopen- hauer and Kant and ended with several sublime passages from the poet Goethe. The next speaker Herr Benjamin Georg von Lehenbauer expressed a deep regret in not being better acquainted with the novels of Schopenhauer but ad- mitted that the love-sonnets of Kaut were extremely beautiful. Herri Lehen- bauer showed how the poor quality of lager-beer of this country had a tend- ' 118 i l l - R I 5 i l I 1 l I l z i i Y 1 4 STB: . ' A' .

The last SP9ake1' WHS Herr Eduard Katzenjammer von Englehardt. Herr Englehardt has just recently come from Germany and therefore his remarks were received with unbroken attention. He chose for his subject, Echoes of Home, and with well-chosen words brought the Heimath very close to his hearers. He concluded with an appropriate toast to the invincible Kaiser and the much-loved Vaterland. Uhr Glhaaer 9' ARLY in the fall, when Fulton's colleges open and the town wakes up from its three-months' sleep, a class of animals known as the chasers makes its appearance at Westminster. The chaser is a biped and, walk- ing in an upright position, he bears considerable resemblance to man. Science has never classified it definitely. Some authorities consider it asa species of the genus homo, while others hold that it is of the genus hobo. Public opinion seems to favor the latter supposition, by a large majority. The object of this article is to describe a few of the characteristics of the chaser, and, if possible, aid science in its classification. It is agreed that it is anthropoid. What we are trying to settle is just where in the scale of evolu- tion the chaser stands. The chaser thrives most in warm weather. No animal hails the coming of spring with greater delight. This would seem to indicate that his forebears were tropical animals. During the chasing season the chaser is bedecked with loud and gaudy colors. Wheii he arrives in town, the price of red neckties and striped hose takes a wonderful advance. Nothing is known positively of his appearance during the rest of the year, for he migrates as soon as the colleges close, but from what can be gathered it is thought that at that season of the year his outer coat is of faded blue. and he is crowned with a large top knot which resembles a straw stack. His most noticeable characteristics are his powers of endurance, his fool- ishness, and his tleetness of limb. The chaser's powers of endurance are re- markable. He chases all day and most of the night, and there is no case on record of one breaking down. One has been known to go around the enclosure Centrance to which is forbiddenj in the north part of town, one thousand seven hundred and sixty-two times between sundown and midnight. Further, the chaser persists in his manoeuvers in' all kinds of weather. He will wade 119 . JH va, I wtf, if 1,'. 1 . H f through slush and sleet or face a driving blizzard in order to show his devo- tion to the maiden in the castle beyond the bridge, and the worst weather never hurts him. This is one of the chief reasons for believing him not human. The chaser's foolishness is hismost salient characteristic. In fact, the word chaser has almost become synonymous with the word fool. His folly is mani- fested in many ways. His favorite pastime is to go at midnight just without the walls of the forbidden ground and fire pistols and make loud and unusual noises in various ways. This is his way of amusing himself and making the show some relation to the town hen fair and fickle goddesses Of that place admire him, Figure 1, which represents some chasers chasing on the street, also shows their folly. Oblivious of everything but the line, they have no apprehension -is ' fi' 1? Q ' ...mm A,,, pw gaswkg .Q v If 'MN I xxzilxfl i'f5i3I!,f' ilxxfla fo' 4 .l Adi nl Y, XX!! I .2441 1.

Yet, by ex- perience they ought to know that danger is near, for under similar circumstances they have met that old apostle of trouble, the night- watch, many a time. To them he is more terrible than an army with banners, but they forget all about him when they get to chasing. Figure 2 shows the havoc the nighwatch plays. He breaks up the sport and several skulls. It also shows the fleetness of the chaser. There is no animal or machine known that can keep pace wih a scared chaser. Race horses and automobiles have failed. These encounters with the gallant guard are very frequent, because f K3 ,. p 1 i- the chaser learns nothing by expe- XF' Q f 5 . ' , 0 ,gef45f' rience. After the worst kind ofa T ,H it ,E . , . ' ' 6. 3 :ZF scare he will go back the very first -ff NW., ef' V' ,f W0 ' chance he gets. This might go to 'M aw gig, - that never learns to keep out of the neighbor's garden. ' These are only a few of the most noticeable characteristics of chasers. It would take volumes to describe them fully. It is well, however, to know something about them, for they show no signs of becoming extinct, and are liable to become such a public nuisance that the government will have to take measures similar to those taken by the Australian government to exterminate the rabbits. 120 llf Dinngfvllnm Mah Gun?

The building the most commodious, best lighted and best yentilated west of the Mississippi, It is furnished newly throughout, and the facilities for teaching dentistry are unsurpassed.. The advantages offered by a large University, like Washington University. should appeal to those intending to enter the profession of dentistry. The time ls approaching when dental instruction will be confined to the great Universities of the country. While the student body of the Dental Department of Xvashington University is not so large as that of some other dental schools, yet. the results accomplished are l110l'C satisfactory. It isa known fact that while the Dental Department of Washington University has graduated fewer students, in comparison to the time it has been teaching, yet, for the number of its graduates, it has turned out more teachers of dentistry than any other school in the United States. Anvone desiring to take up the study of dentistry would do well to investigate this department thoroughly before deciding to go elsewhere.
