F. Edwards. Benjamin Franklin Edwards is fifty years old and has spent all his years in St. Louis. His father, General Albert Gallatin Edwars, entered the Federal army during the Civil War and became an officer of rank. After the war General Edwards was appointed internal revenue collector for St. Louis, which position he held until 1887. He became one of the most active, best beloved, and best known of the ruling elders of his city. In 1887 General Edwards retired from the internal revenue office, still a poor man, and with no business before him. His oldest son, Ben, had completed his school days in the high school of Kirkwood, and had secured a position at the bottom in the National Bank of Commerce, St. Louis. By his industry and trustworthiness he soon attracted the attention of Williain H. Thompson, the president of the bank. By 1887, at the age of 28, Ben Edwards held the position of assistant cashier. At this juncture he resigned his position for his father,s sake, and formed a partner- ship with his father. They established the firm of A. G. Edwards Sz Son, brokers, with a capital of 5E2,000. Later, two younger brothers and others were taken into the firm, which exists .still under the name of A. G. Edwards 81 Sons, one of the strongest brokerage Hrms west of the Mississippi. E ive years after establishing the firm of A. G. Edwards 81 Son, in 1892, Mr. Ben Edwards was called back to the Bank of Commerce to the position assistant cashier, at probably the largest salary ever paid to a cashier west of the Mississippi. His promotions came rapidly, first to a vice-presidency with very large responsibilities as to management of the bank's forces, then to the iirst vice-presideny, and a year and a half ago to the presidency of the Bank of Commerce, St. Louis, the. largest banking institution west of the Mississippi. V Mr. Edwards is an elder in the VVashington and Compton Avenue Pres- byterian church, St. Louis, and has done mission Sunday School work through all his active life. He plays golf, and is an enthusiast over base ball. Mr. Edwards has accepted the presidency of Westininsteris Board of Trustees because he believes in Vifestminster College. ' 6 PRO POSED NEW LIBR ARY Thomas S. Mcljheeters. Wfestminster College sustained a very great loss by the death of Thomas S. lVlcPheeters, LL.D., the honored president of its Board of Trustees, who departed this life October 5, 1909. Mr. lVIcPheeters became president of the Board in january,i'1904, following'ithe death'of 'Judge John A. Hockaday. He thus servedrnearly sixi years in that capactiy, though he was a member of the board for many years more. ' ' A -A s A From the day he became a member' of the board, the evinced the deepest interest in all the affairs of the college, and it was largely through his iniiuence and efforts that the endowment fund of 95100,000 was secured in St. Louis. He was indefatigable in his efforts to build up the institution., ,Upon the Hoor of PresbyteryNfand.Synod, andiin the leading pulpits of the State, his voice was frequentlyfheard pleading the cause of Christian education, and he never lost an opportunity in social gatherings or private conversations to press the claims of Westmiiister. ,He had much to do with-ibriiigingabout the re- union of the two synods in the control of the college, and' in recognition of his solid worth and of his untiring labors ,in behalf of Christian education, the Board of Truitees. atthe semi-centennial of the college in 1903! conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. : ,'qp ,Q lr' But not alone '3.SV'.'EllC efficient president of the Boardof Trtisteespof VVest- minster College will Mr., McPheeters be fremembered. He -was foo -L big and broad a man to be limited- to one sphere. of activity. .For manyiyears he served as a ruling elder in the ,Grand Avenue Presbyterian, church of St. Louis, in the Sabbath ,School of which he long taught ,an adult Bible classg and for nearlyftwenty-five 'years he was either presidentor-vice-president of the St. Louis Young Men's Christian Association, and for thirtyyears chair- man of the State Executive. Committee of the- Young Mens Christian Asso- ciations of Missouri. , s ' - 'A He was a devoted teacher of the Word' of God, a strong evangelistic speak- er, and an earnest personal worker. He laid all his ,splendidipowers of heart and mind at the Mastg-:r's feet,,and 'resolutely turned aside fromipolitical pre- ferment and IUOUCY makiligi iii Oirfler that he mightlserve God and his genera- tion. His memory will be cherishediby multitudes Hwhoiknew him but to love him, and by a host to whom he was a friend indeed. He rests from his labors and his works follow after him. 8 P Board of Trustees.

As a man, our President knows what it is to befriend in eve1'y good work, and consequently knows what it is to be loved. He cherishes ideals of the enviable sort, is guided by them in all things, and is the man four-square. His heart in its largeness shines through his every act, and to be around him is to admire, approve, and work with him for love's sake. Dr. Kerr, the educator, is liberal in view, yet scholarly, is a man of prin- ciple, ascertains facts, associates, weighs them, and follows his convictions. His work is that of a father-exhorting, warning, reproving, and approving in turn--ever firm for the right, regardless of varied interests. The man is magnanimityg the method, loveg the pity, he has to be too much absent from his boys, the hope, many a Westminster man may he such a one as he. 11 1 I f M L The Faculty.

Hugh Cawthon, Kennett 15 The College Man in Politics. The only qualification that I 'possess to write this article is that I ani a graduate of Westniinster and on account of my devotion to her in the past and the keen interest I feel for her present and future welfare, I should very much dislike to refuse to perform any duty that might be assigned to me by the student bod . The college man is, and ought to be, a factor in politics, because, by reason of his training in college, he should be capable of rendering greater public service than those who have not enjoyed the same benefits. It seems that in these times, the people generally are looking more at the records of their public officers than formerly and demanding stricter accountability for services rendered. Consequently, the demand for stronger men to fill public places has greatly increased and is becoming more intense all of the time. On account of the marvelous development of this country along business lines, there must be a corresponding development in governmental affairs, in respect to the making of laws, and their interpretation and execution. There must be men of brains and education somewhere in the runningof this great governmental machinery or bad government will necessarily follow. One argument that a great many people make against a college man enter- ing politics, that is running for public office, is that there is so much cor- ruption in politics. My opinion is that the politics of a country are just what the people of the country make them. Of course, in a political campaign, all of the people good, bad, or indifferent have to be dealt with, whether it is a campaign in a city, county or state, because they are all entitled to a vote and a bad man's vote looks the same on paper as a good manls. I do not believe it is more corrupting to deal with this class of citizens in politics than to deal with them in any other transaction where there is an opportunity for one to be infiuenced from the path of right and duty. If only such menrun for office as belong to that class, the honest voter would have no choice on the day of election. ' I do not think that a man of brains and education may in a legitimate way, be a politican and render a service to this country and to his fellow man that is worthy of his. ambition. We are often too quick to assail the good name of many of our public officers and it may be that when we have taken away from them their standing before the public, we have taken all that they have because they have looked at money as trash by the side of their reputation. Men can and I believe do, render public service to their country from a pure and unselfish motive and it is worthy ambition and one to be encouraged. 1 JOSHUA BARBER. 16 I I 1 I I I I I I i I I Z 7 I I I I I I I I I I I'. The College Man in the Ministry. By reason of the more general training of men in other lines of employ, the ministry no longer enjoys the unique position of the learned profession, as it did a few centuries ago, when the minister was sought out whenever any matter of letters was at issue. But as the pendulum swings from one extreme to the other, so an erroneous idea, thoroughly antipodal to this, is gaining ground, that the minister need not be a college man, if he only be possessed of executive ability for the multitudinous affairs of the modern church, and be humanitarian in his philosophy. I I It will be readily admitted that college training as an end has no place in the making of a ministerg but that he is not better fitted for his work as a result of scholarly pursuits will be as readily denied. The minister of today faces questions and conditions of which his predecessors never dreamedg his re- sponsibility is in no sense lessened because he is no longer the neighborhood Oracle. The man who is most efficiently to measure up to these responsibil- ities needs as a means to an end the mental discipline of the college. He needs a mind trained for the work before him: now, whether this be attained by the routine work of the first year in Greek or Latin, whether by tracing God's hand in the philosophy of history, whether through the propositions of Euclid, the masterful reasonings of Plato, or the sublime flights of Demos- thenes, is immaterialg but from each and all these studies the college-bred man will bring to the sacred desk a habit of thought that will serve him well in his search after truth. ' Jesus sent men out to preach the Truth to men: the man sent must be able to read God's message written on the face of the heavens, to see it in the forms of nature about him, and then he must be of mind sufficiently humble to receive on evidence a Revelation through jesus Christ, regardless of his own ability thoroughly to understand it. Humanly speaking, it is the col- lege man who will most correctly translate this eternal Gospel of God's love into the language of men, and transmit it to them as a message of strength for the now, and of hope for the life that is to be! And this is the message for which the world is dying. Wliatevei' may be said,of the phenomenal success of notable men who Hnever saw the inside of a collegef' fails to take note of howthe efficiency of these same men might have been increased many fold by the privileges of a college education. The best equipped men are none too good for the great- est work ever committed to the hands of men, the ministry of God's Gospel of love! I LYNN F. Ross. if The College Man in Law. The Law more than any other avocation or calling in life demands of its followers a thorough college education. The lawyer must be well fortified in all branches of human knowledge. He who desires to win fame in the legal profession should be possessed of that broad education which means broad-mindedness. No man, no matter how fine a judge of human nature he may be, no matter how much legal acumen he may acquire, can rise to the highest ideal of a successful practitioner of law without a thorough knowledge of art, literature, science, philosophy, mathematics and all the branches taught in a college. The science of law is multiform. As, Pomeroy says: lt reaches out and draws in its methods and materials from many departmentsg here it sends down a root into the undefined and almost hidden traditions of the past, and now suports itself upon the conclusions of the purest morasg its deductions are sometimes cast in themould of severest logic and again assume the form of historical narrative. It extends from the birth of a nation or race to the busy life of the present day. It demands a familiarity with history, with ethics and with logic. X1Vhatever we learn elsewhere will con- tribute its aid in our study of this comprehensive science. The more thorough our knowledge of other things, the greater the chance of success in law. Glanre over the field of lawyers and note those who have achieved honor and fame, and it will readily appear that those who have had a college education, and those alone, stand at the top. V The young man of today who wishes to take up the law as his life work and to be master in that work, should first equip himself with a thorough col- lege education such as VVestminster College affords. Vlfestminster men in the law are not surpassed by men who have received their early education at any other school. It is with pride tliat Vtfestminster can point to the lawyers, of high rank who acknowledge her as their alma mater. They stand at the head of their profession. u H It can be confidently .predicted that the young 1nan, sober and honest, equip- ped with a thorough college education, who enters the field of law, will attain a position therein commensurate with his native ability. I. W. TINCHER. T9 at, , The College Man in College Work. 'Westminster alumni have carried her methods, her spirit, her influence, to many another place of learning. Not only her own sons, but others thus have benehted by her lofty aims, her strong training, her steadfast adherence to that which is best and noblest in the training of young men. McAfee, the far-seeing founder of Park College, by his lofty philanthropy has brought countless blessings to thousands of fine young men and women. Hersman, whose accurate and profound learning would be an honor to any European University, not only wielded an intellectual influence of depth and power for years in Westminster, but has for the years since he left our halls followed the same high plane of instruction in other institutions. Scott, in our walls, has perpetuated and strengthened the powerful influence which high intellectual training alone can give, .till it is safe to say that no college in onr land can present it superior. Dobyns in his work for the deaf has continued the work on the same high level which has always been Westmin- ster's ideal.

Safe to say, in no other way can her ideals be so directly per- petuated and her power so magnified, as by those of -her sons. who become themselves teachers, and develop in the men who come to them, that same character, those same ideals, those lofty principles of both education and life, which have made VVestminster's name and fame an honor to l1er sons, and a source of strength to the church which has founded, supported and still con- trolsher, for the glory of her Lord and lilllg.--:DANIEL S. iCi.XGE. 19. The College Man in Business. The business interests of our country are today greatly diversihed. The demand for men of intelligence and education was never greater than at the present time. In every vocation we find keen competition, thus requiring men of ability to grapple and solve the problems continually arising. This very fact calls for trained men whose qualifications enable them to understand and meet conditions that may confront them. lt follows as an axiomatic truth that men must be educated to accomplish the most successful results. The college man comes into active business with superior equipmentg trained to reason, to discriminate, to examine and Weigh matters in their true relations. He is often able to analyze and master details and get a comprehensive View of business which would be impossible without his college training. We recognize that men of limited education have been very successful and in rare cases have attained the highest positions, but these are men of untiring energy, who fought obstacles and attainedlsuccess over great odds. No man can succeed without the common principles of honesty, integrity, and industry. the man who is properly trained at college will in every stage of life outclass the other man of equal ability who has not had this advantage. How often have We known men of sterling worth and fine judgment to take secondary places, just simply because other men equal to them in these respects have had the college training, which enabled them to handle business propositions more promptly, intelligently and in such a manner as to command confidence and respect. - ' ' The true college man is ennobled, elevated and qualified for success in any position in life. All over our country we find them attaining the best and highest places of trust. XV hat an inspiration this should be to our young men to overcome every obstacle to get an education. It is a sad mistake to think for one moment that a business man can neglect ,the college training. It ennobles his life, gives a broader conception of duty, opens possibilities for advancement and generally has had a beneficent infiuence on his fellow man. E. W.

TUCKER MARQUESS XVALLACE I. VV. VVILSON 21 .f --V- Senior Class History. T The writer of this article is himself a senior. Remember then, kind reader, that he may be slightly prejudiced in favor of his class. However, actuated by no selhsh desire to emulate its virtues at the sacrifice of his reputation for truthfulness, he humbly presents the facts as he sees them. The senior class of 1910 numbers' fourteen members, representatives from the four corners of the globe. From far away Russia and western Montana, from northern Mexico, Missouri, and southern Fulton, have come young men to graduate in this memorable class. Every college activity is represented. There are students, athletes and society lights. Every life profession welcomes with gladsome anticipation the graduates. For there are preachers, and lawyers, newspaper men and architects, educators and business men. Though cosmopolitan in makeup, versatile in attainments, the outstanding characteristic of the 'class is the ability of its members to do things. The class has given to the college activities for 1910 many of its best stu- dents, the editor and managers of the Blue jay, the editor of the Monthly, the president of the Y. M. C. A., the managers of the Lecture Course, the mane ager of the Glee Club, and the presidents of the literary societies. The senior class of 1910 is the most illustrious, influential, and best loved class in VVestminster. lllustrious without seeking fame, influential without domineeringg admired and respected without courting favor. The senior class leaves its deeds and accomplishments as a monument to future college generations. Its members were not painters but buildersg doers, not dreamers. Their college man was the versatile man, student, athlete and social mixer. With husky frames and noble brains, these sturdy youths cherished the ideals they made in their freshman year and built wisely, much wiser than they knew, so that upon the day of their graduation they present a building of character, so beautifully fashioned, so nobly wrought. The object of this article is not to enumerate the many accomplishments of this illustrious class, but rather to portray its general character and to ascer- tain, if possible, the causes which have produced such gratifying results. Why, then, so great? A close ,study of the personnel will reveal the elements of its strength and greatness. 1 Beginning, there are the two Georges, George -Icenhower and George Mather. George the first is the president. He knows more chemistry and can tell more stories than any two men in the class. George the second, or Okla- 'JO -mv I B l s A i S l l homa George, is full of humor and noise, and is gifted as a Writer. Then comes the two Houfs, Big and Little. They are natives of Callaway county, splendid students and good fellows. The one is a mining engineer, the other a preacher. Henry Hellyer hails from Russia. He has learned well the English language and is fast getting the better of his text books. He too, is a preacher-one of the noble five. Next in order is the preacher triumverate, Tucker, Gunn, and Duncan. VVhen time has smoothed the rough edges, then history will write, With all their short-comings, they meant Well. Tucker Wears glasses, Gunn is handsome, and Duncan is short of stature. After the preachers come the educators, Settles and Wallace. These two young peda- gogical aspirants have for months been dreaming of the time when every col- lege shall recognize as authorities Settles, the historian, and Wallace, the linguist. Black and Harner are residents of Fulton. They are men Whose abilities make the lustre of the class shine the brighter. The former will enter business, the other expects to be an architect. John Ready is the short of it in the class. But happily he is often heard and felt by his classmates. He has of late developed a propensity for stinging his professors. Finally there is J. W. VVilson, the politician. VVith dogged determinations, he ever Works toward the fulfillment of his cherished ideal to become president of the United States. T As time passes and a commencement brings to an end the history of the class, a mere beginning is made in the individual history. With a true faith, a clear brain and an unfaltering step, the 1910 graduate enters the battle of life. Let us hope that he will iight well, let us believe that he will end fight- ing Well. For life so well begun must not terminate in failure. 23 Personnel of the Senior Class. - t 'A ' S fr ' George Benjamin lcenhower, QA.B.j, Victor, Mont., Philalethian.

The Historian warns the casual peruser of these annals against any hasty comparison of the classes '10 and '11. iNow, dear guests, it becomes my great privilege to show you the junior property. That palatial building on yonder steep hill is the junior house. There, where the pure air is hrst kissed by the rays of the morning sun, life is all joy. But we must go nearer. You see these two roads, this right one is for the juniors only, long, rough and sometimes discouraging it is but nevertheless 'leads the faithful safely homeward. This left way is a short cut for the guests. Follow me! Q This property belongs to the college and every year is entrusted to new tenants though occasionally some man fails in the requirements of the farm and consequently must remain to makergood. V VVhen we first got possession it was gossiped that the property would de- teriorate for the lack of men and means to keep up the various branches. True we were few and four Celj in numbers but we were determined to be many and fore in college arts and productions. As the first step in any great organization is to organize, we elected officers. Then followed advertising through the press and by conspicuous posters and painted signs. . Thus our work well begun, we labored in earnest. Every held has been well tilled, every business cared for, all investments increased and now the out-put far exceeds that of former years. So much for the farm. Let-us investigate the house, which you will find also in good condition. My ,friends are absent on business, I regret, but you shall see their portraits. This stately fellow with the high forehead and smiling face possesses a remarkable voice, is a member of the Angelic Choir and College Glee Club. A basket ball player and no mean student is our class president, F. C. Llewellyn. The owner of this portrait is Capt. john Penney of the gridiron. He also holds office in the K. O. D. H. tex Pj and is a popular student. This fellow with the Sampson curls is little but often heard. He is an honor student, declaimer, orator and an athlete, by name F. P. Baker.

The Meaning of Westminster's Fire. Westminster's main' building, known for fifty-six years as Vtfestminster Hall, was destroyed by fire on the night of September 10, 1909. Along with Westminster Hall, the chapel, which was built in 1888 and attached to the main building, was destroyed. Westminster Hall held the hearts of sixty generations of students. Associations tender and strong beyond expression centered in VVestminster Hall. The older alumni especially feel that the destruction of the old building has swept away every material evidence of the Westminster they knew. But the old columns of Westminster Hall still stand, apparently so little injured that they may stand another sixty years or more. It is understood that the trustees will take all necessary steps to strengthen these columns wherever necessary and provide for their preserva- tion as monuments of the past. What, then, are to be the consequences of the destruction ofVVVestminster,s main buildings? One result is already very emphatic. WVestminster has a new ideal. This ideal is presented to the eye through photogravures showing the proposed new buildings. The vision is of a greater W7estminster. This new ideal is already thoroughly fixed in the minds of all VVestminster's friends. It must therefore find its realization 'in some way in the next few years. Be- cause old things have-passed away the new will become as dear, through the transfer of associations, to the oldest alumnus as to the youngest. VVestminster's fire means an awakening-a rude awakening, yet an awaken- ing to needs which before the fire were too little felt. Vlfestminster had not fallen a whit: behind the best of the colleges west of the Mississippi in up-to- dateness educationally. Her departments, her curriculum, her corps' of teach- ers, her library, laboratory, and physical culture equipments have received such additions as to call attention to VVestminster as one of the best equipped of colleges. 'Whatever of these were lost by the fire are already replaced. Yet the fire brought clearly to view a fact which the friends of the institu- tion Were slow to believe. This fact is that the advances had reached the utmost possible limit without more buildings and their opportuniy for further developing the various departments of college life work. I The three departments of science .of Westminster are crowded to their limits. No other departments should here after have recitation room in fivience Hall. Most of the freshman classes in all subjects are too large for efficiency, and any further growth calls for two divisions in each freshman sul,-iect and therefore twice the number of recitation rooms and professors. ' 3 6 In the old buildings the things belonging to student activities were meager- ly provided for. These activities are as important for student development as is classroom work. Literary societies, Y. M. C. A., and gymnasium cannot be crowded into corners without great loss to students and at a certain point absolutely checking the growth of the institution. l The fire has awakened Westminster to realize what is a fact with reference to nearly all western colleges. This fact is that there is no social center where all students meet on a par of privilege. Such a center on the campus is abso- lutely necessary to establish and preserve democracy of the student body. And a studentbody which is not a democracy is in peril. VVestminster's ire, therefore, means the erection on the campus of five new buildings, namely: New Westiniiister Hallg Library, Chapel, another dormi- tory, and a Student Hall, including gymnasium, literary society halls, Y. M. C. A., social and game rooms. Along with these new buildings the endowment will be increased to half a million dollars. .vo pf zum ,A W , .

This department of college work is left entirely in the hands of the two literary societies of Wfestminster, Professor Kerr being the advisory faculty member. The new rules going into effect this year, there was only one set of judges, these read the orations before the contest and at the time of their de- livery, graded on the general effect. The honors were awarded as heretofore. Any member of the literary societies may enter this contest. The faculty has adopted a rule that the winner of this contest shall receive one hour's credit toward a degree. i The twenty-third annual oratorical contest of Westiiiiiister College was held in Synodical College chapel on the evening of January 14, 1910. 'WVill Sublime, by Mr. Bert C. Riley, of Dows, Ia., wasunanimously chosen by the judges as the best oration. The Missouri Collegiate Oratorical Association met this year with VVilliam Jewell at Liberty, Mo., on March 3, also again on March 24. On the former date a tie was declared between Drury, Park, and Westiiiiiistei' colleges. The contest was held on the latter date. This time VVilliam Jewell was by the judges declared the winner, Westniiiister falling to third, but only one point behind first place. 4-1 5 I l l The Debating Team. 4 W. T. ARMSTRONG BERT C. RILEY G. L. TUCKER Westmi11ster's Debating Team Won its debate with Central College, at Fay- ette, Friday, April 29. The question was on the establishing of a national bank in the United States, bearing a relation to the government of the United States similar to that borne by the Bank of England to the British government. Messrs. Bert C. Riley, W. T. Armstrong, and Grayson L. Tucker represent- ed Westminster, upholding the negative side of the question. Prof. Wfillis Kerr accompanied the XVestminster debaters as committeeman. The judges were Prof. Isadore Loeb, Prof. A. 0. Lovejoy, of the Univer- sity of Missouri, Prof. E. R.

A. seeks to broaden the vision of the students. Student Bible study managed by the Association, strengthens men in 'their daily lives. Mission study gives them a broad idea of the world and their relation 'to it. Men developed in every good way are its ideal. A true Christian is not a fanatic or a crank, but he is a 'normal man. Yet it is true that many of the so-called Christians are narrow in their views and thus injure their power for good. A student who mingles with his fellows loses some of his queer ideas. The young man on the athletic field or in the gymnasium feels a bond of friendship not felt by the man who is just a student. Yet this friendship is not an end in itself. It should be a means of lifting those who feel this tie higher and cause them to seek the best in life for others as well as for them- selves. A man is in school to develop his mind, his body, and his soul. If as a Christian he is developed in all good lines, he becomes aipower for good. The Y. M. C. A. seeks to foster such ideas and friendships. Its ultimate aim is the saving of men for Christ and his service. 52 334 Westminster Living Link League. Ojireizt. PROP. D. M. D.-XVIDSONI.

XY. KleCutc:han. .-X. B.. 1907. Mr. McCutchan sailed for China in the fall of 1905 and is now en- gaged in educational work at Suchien. For this phase of missionary effort he is peculiarly titted, as he is both an unusually good linguist and exception- ally well qualified to teach. He was an all-around college nian and is one of the finest students Xlestniinster has ever graduated. The league raises be- tween SISUII and Slllll yearly for the support of its representative. it is in- deed a great privilege for the league to have such an able representative to support in part at least. - U -J 'D Students' Volunteer Band.

So far there have been no additions, but sc-me are expected before the close of the semester and many are hoped for. Vlfeekly meetings of the band have been held this year at the room of one of the members. The meetings are of a devotional order. This year the Fulton Volunteer Union is not so largeias last year, owing to the graduations from Synodical, VVilliam VVoods, and VVestminster and the going to the field of three of the union. L t Worcls of encouragement come from Prof. C. C. Kinght, now in Brazil. Prof. K. Van Evera is now in McCormick Seminary at Chicago. F. Maier is now teaching at Van Rensselaer Academy. S. Barrows is in Y. M. ft. work at St. Louis. E. G. Cala and E. D. Torres are teaching and preaching in their home country, Cuba. The above men were all members of last year's band. Thus our influence is being sent throughout the World. May God's blessing be on every member of the band, both former and present. May he raise up men for the harvest which is already white. 54 7 L .W ,V Y f .....-7... ..,.5.. . .... -,---,,,,,1.1l., . ,, ,,,-,..,-,,-..,, The Glee Club. LIARQUESS VVALLACE, Mcmager. MR.

Like all other forms of college activity, the orchestra suffered from the smallness of the student body this year. Handicapped by an absence of second violins, horns, and all forms of harmony instruments, with less efficient musicians than those who constitute '19 orchestra, a first-class organization of this nature would have been impossible. A large orchestra need not be com- posed of stars, but the efhciency of the small one depends almost entirely on the individual merit of its' constituents. VVestminster orchestra may be lack- ing in quantity but in quality is fully up to the standard. The following are members: Marquess Wallace, baritone, Frank Llew- ellyn, clarinet, Wooclrow VVoodbridge, flute, Carl Glahn, violin, Selby Rich- mond, director, cornet, Earl Davidson, traps, Mrs. Carl Glahn, accompanist. Appreciable and appreciated music was furnished on all important school occasions. Much thanks is due Professor and Mrs. Glahn for their assist- ance. THE BAND. In addition to the orchestra, Westiniiister had a brass band for out-door events. The exact numberof its instruments is not known, but high water mark was reached on the night when the band played for a big musical com- edy. A conservative estimate places the multitude at fifty-six. However, only the following were ever present at regular rehersals. .

VV e lose but one man from the 1909 foot ball squad, and if all the others return, our chances will indeed be excellent. Perhaps only a coach can fully realize the advantage of having the personel of the team the same for two or three years. A team which has lost every game the first year may, and usually does, win the majority of the games the second year. There are many good reasons for this, but we will let it rest as a fact based upon past experience. So if the Wfestminster foot ball team of 1910 is the same as that of 1909, we can ask for no better indication of a successful season. This also holds good in basket ball. We should not lose a single man. Although it is uphill work to develop a basket ball team under present condi- tions, the boys are willing to work and in their second season together will make an entirely different record. Tn track big things are planned for next year. There will probably be two dual track meets, one intercollegiate meet, besides the two home meets and the interscholastic, which is being planned for. The most of this year's track men are in the lower classes, which means that they will be faster and stronger next year. The base ball team of this year has lacked but one thing-experience. Our entire 'base ball team of this season should be on hand when the call is given in 1911, and if this is the case, Westminster's 1911 base ball team will be a tough proposition to defeat. It is perhaps safe to say that the athletic prospects of lrVestminster were never brighter. VVe lose only two men, Gunn and Mather. Mather will be missed in foot ball and track and Gunn in track, but there will be a half dozen men from the second teams trying for their places. We will have the same teams, the same coach, and will all pull together to put Westminster in the front rank in athletics, the only place Westminster should occupy in anything. bb Contributions.

COWAN, in 1877 93 K The Forsaken Alter. Old place of prayer! Forlorn, forsaken spot! So oft abused, so oft forgot! And yet lingering in memory, half-hid, Too' busily paused o'er 5 going unseen amid The mighty hostsof unimportant cares That tread the skirts of everyday affairs. Like trend of argument lost in vain detail, Too busy wi' the world we verily fail To kneel a once the day beside the altar-heap That points us up to Heaven, and helps to keep The fond communion, heart to heart, Of Grace, the giant g of Sin, the dwarf. Our part To look up in faith, to hope For things unseen, and there to grope In beams too bright for angels, Bursting in where darkness late was king. Sacred place where memories ring True to lives of human souls, Wliere sympathy in agonizing pleadings rolls Its petitions up to God, and Angels seeing 'tis a hallowed place Steal away and wondering stand To listen to their speaking, God and man. How Hrm our fathers paid her court, I And waxed stronger in the paying! ' How in fear our mothers explored Her practice, the waning art of praying! Turn, O wicked generation, turn! . And let your hearts contritely burn With miseries multiplied, and multi-multiplied, Till from every vale and mountainside The awfully earnest cry shall ring, ' Our Father in Heaven! Our God! Cur Kingll' And earth again shall know true prayer. H. T. HOUF, '10 94 4 The Grave, From the German. Deep is the grave and still: Un its brink we shuddering stand, It hides with its darksome hill The shores of an unknown land. The song of the Nightingale In its bosom sends no sound And the roses of friendship fall On only a mossy Mound. Forsaken Brides in vain Their hands in anguish wringg And the Grphan's tears may rain But an answer ne'er up bring. Yet only in this place The longed-for ,rest is found. For our only home-ward race Leads down to this darksome ground. The poor, sad heart's release From all the storms it meets Is reached-its truest peace, IfVhen there it no longer beats. I. F. COWVAN, in 1881 A Sonnet. I love the little flowers and the trees. Wfhen first my voice in childish prayer I raised, I lisped my single thanks to God for these. And ever since in Hower and in wood, A sweet and pure delight by years unhazed I find,-a power gentle, pure, and- goodg And oft perfume of childish fragrant flowers Steals quietly to my heart in lonely hours, And memories dim, of gently waving trees That whisper softly in some warm spring breeze, O'erflow my soul when deep in na4ture's bowers. And so I love to roam the woods alone And for a seat find some welcome stone, To be with God amid the trees and flowers. -F. C. LLEWELLYN, '11 The 'Dollar Poem. My Friends, I think you'd like to know I-Iow I my silver dollar earnedg And that is what I want to show: 'Tis easy when once you've learned.

That is what makes' the spice and worth while part of life, also, unfortunately, all the rows and dis- agreements. What one man considers at good joke deeply wounds a friend. I'Our sincerest laughter is frought with some pain. The teacher who sits down upon a tack does not appreciate the joke as much as do the pupils who watch his sudden uprising. The large man who steps upon the time-honored banana peel and sits suddenly upon the granitoid, cannot appreciate the joke so thoroughly as do the onlookers. Great care has been taken to print nothing in the following columns that could possibly injure the feelings of the most sensitive. If perchance some- thing is said about you that you do not enjoy, do not be offended, be glad rather that some peculiarity of yours has caused a gloomy face to brighten into a smile. Do not think that laughing is a sin. Do not take yourself and your work too seriously. The Stinson will go grumbling along behind the Dormitory, the blue ays will shriek in the campus trees, freshmen will grow into dignified seniors, and the josh editor will tell these same old jokes, at which our fathers laughed, long after you and and your work have been forgotten. lt is a higher mission, a more subtle art, to make people laugh than to make them cry. You can think as deeply behind a smile as behind a frown, and your face looks infinitely better. As a matter of civic pride keep it looking as well as possible. j However you think or feel, do not be offended at the editor of this department. Off in the wilds of Oklahoma two fond parents wait his return, fondly thinking that there is none like unto him. QOut in the world people are glad that this is true.j They fondly imagine even now that instead of writing this he is running up an electric light bill in a strenuous search after Greek roots. Do not injure him. The disillusionment is coming soon enough. We have used no new jokes. Far be it from us to hand you anything new or untried. VV e handle only the old standbys. 98 I. if .ani The College Fraternity. The college fraternity is a heterogeneous collection of public nuisances entirely .surrounded by their family name. They have all the bad manners that money can buy while the non-fraternity men have to worry along with those provided by nature. Fraternity men are distinguished from the rest of the world by a gold and jeweled breast plate, resembling a cross between a piece of Japanese money and a Dago campaign button. This button is worn constantly, unless the witching smile of a college widow coaxes it away, she wears it until she gets a dress it won't match, when she graciously sends it back and smiles at a pin of different color. A popular pastime among the younger society women is to see how many of these ornaments they can capture and send back during one school year, ' There are many ways to become a fraternity man. The easiest way is to choose a father who was a fraternity man. Failing in this, a freshman may purchase a suit of clothes of gorgeous hue and baggy trousers and reef these same trousers in such a manner as to display some nine or seventeen inches of noisy hosiery, the amount depending on whether he is of the Johnnie Ready or Bill Steele type. A freshman thus attired, who jumps off the train making a noise like ready money is immediately rushed. A fraternity rush and a foot ball rush are different. A fraternity rusl1 consists of trips to the bakery and pool hall, the musical comedy, and the picture show, all free now, but pay- able at 127 per cent the minute the freshman is pledged. :After a judicious amount of this, the freshman is led to a secluded spot, and some superior member, having braced himself on two Coca Colas and a DrQ Pepper, throws his cigarette on the floor and begins: ln honoring you with an invitation to join our unparalleled collection of impolluted young men, we stand only on our record of high achievement. Last year we had two men who passed an examination, a substitute on the croquet team: and the President labeled one man an undesirable citizen. As to our influence on your morals, fear not: we won't touch them, they'll be carefully packed away and presented to you four years from now as good as new. I myselftam so well pleased with this fraternity, that, although l've been three years in school and there are others here, this is the only one l've ever joined. The freshman, overcome by this noise, throws himself i11to the speaker's arms and has a bright piece of tin placed on the lapel of his coat. The next thing is the initiation. This is a combination of a railroad wreck 99 and an Gklahoma cyclone. This is to smooth off the rough corners of the freshman, and does it. A i The initiation over, the freshman is a full fledged memberg and if he be- longs to some fraternities in some schools I know of, he is usually more full than fledged. So he goes on till, the four years over, he comes forth into the world ready to combat the inroads of socialism and an honest day's work. Fashion Notes for College Men. 1. For spring wear use cylinder oil. ' 2. Shirts will be worn much longer than formerly-not over three weeks, however. , 3. Cigarettes will be worn in the left hand corner of the mouth. If the Coach is apt to be passing, they are best held in the hand and an occasional clandestine inhale taken. 4. Collars should be Worn high-somewhere around the neck is considered high enough. I 5. Freckles should not be worn between October and May. 6. Home-made dress suits are not considered quite the thing now, as no amount of motherly care and interest can overbalance the idiosyncrasies of fit inherent in a home-made spike tail. 7. A small package of ive dollar bills worn in the waist coat pocket is very effective in making a man hold up his head. 8. Knitted green jerseys embroidered in front with yellow daffodils and .in the back with pale pink forget-me-nots are very effective in attracting attention. 9. Pajamas should not be worn to classes. 1 You should learn to sleep in a high collar. 10. Base ball and foot ball clothes may not be worn in Dr. Cowan's recita- tion room. 100 3 Advice to Freshmen. Every class in college should have its own distinctive cheer. A pleasantly descriptive cry for young beginners like yourselves is Raw-raw-raw. The chances are that that is what you will be for at least one-half of your first year. It is well upon all occasions for young collegians to get upon pleasantly friendly terms with their instructors, but the act of slapping the president of the college on the back and addressing him to his face as 'K0ld I-loss is to be avoided. Eschew hazing in so far as you are able to do so. It is the height of fool- ishness for a boy fresh from school to descend suddenly upon a group of a dozen sophomores with the intention of throwing them all into a duck-pond. We do not recall, in many years of experienced observation of the ways of college boys, a single case where such an effort has turned out successfully. Let your ambitions be in strict accord with your physical capacity. A freshman weighing ninety-eight pounds who thirsts to get on the foot ball team is apt to encounter certain disappointing obstacles which may not be overcome, while, on the other hand, he might reasonably hope to overcome the lightweight Tiddledywink champion of his class. All men need a certain amount of sleep, even freshmen. It is well, there- fore, to go to bed occasionally during the first few months of your stay at college. The opportunities for sleeping in class-room cannot always be count- ed upon, and in most of our higher institutions of learning it is not considered good form to take a pillow or a cot into recitation rooms. It will, of course, become obvious to you, as your college career progresses, that yourprofessor and tutors are grinds and do not know very much, but it is well to conceal your knowledge of this fact, since they are apt to be persons of so revengeful and generally vindictive a nature that they will flunk you at examination time. N ow that you have become a full-fledged man, remember to put away child- ish things, and leave such things as cribs and ponies to the babies. Many a man has been rocked out of college by the use of the crib, and it is always safer to walk on Shankls Mare than to attempt to ride through college on the other kind of a liorse.-Ha1'pc1 's WeeleI3'. 101 Who's Who on the Campus---And Why. HELLYER. Hellyer blew onto the campus sometime in the late 80's. His homeland is Russia. He is a direct descendant of that one of the sons of Noah commonly called Shem. His parents distinguishedihim from the other Hellyers by call- ing him Henry Leon. On the campus we call him Heinie.', g ' He is distinguished in many ways. Among college activities, he is a stand- by on the Glee Club. But he is chiefly distinguished because of the fact that he has never been known to agree with a professor or textbook since his arrival. The final authority on any subject is Henry Leon Hellyer. If dur- ing any given recitation of a class of which 'fHeinie isa member, three thousand words are pronounced, they would be divided as follows: Heinie two thousand seven 'hundred and twentyg the professors, two hundred sixty-threeg the remainder of the class, seventeen. h BQYER. - Boyer is a great man. If you do not believe it, ask him. He is still a fresh- man but if he progresses as he has done, he'll shortly be a member of the faculty. Boyer is strenuously opposed to the light and frivolous things of life, and wears his face stretched to a length becoming one Hcalledf' This has won for him the name of Deacon, His parents named him Jonas. Deacon's interest in college activities centers in the Glee Club, but he is also a declaimer. In the class room he shines with a peculiar ability in the first year German class. Jonas is easily the best man in the class. We know this is true be- cause he, personally, told us it was. W'e are glad the Deacon has come amongst us. VV ith proper training he will amply fill the space vacated by .Toe Barrows. A very great man: f'Deacon Jonas W. Boyer. O'l-IAIR. Very early in the second semester a very great noise blew onto the campus and announced that it had come to stay. Personally the Hnoisel' had a spotted complexion and hair of a gorgeous hue. It called itself O'Hair, which is probably some Irish circumlocution for red hair. Upon the arrival of. this particular branch of the freshmen class the dormitory sold its phono- graph. Why keep it? Here was a talking machine that ran day or night 102 without winding. Merely approach it and gently whisper athletics, and the spring was touched, the clutch released, and the 'record started. As nearly as we can add up, O'Hair has pitched on all league teams of any importance and has broken all records in runs of one mile and over. HARNER. Harner is a senior. He is the only man in school who remembers Hellyer's arrival. His parents named him Hugo, but the fellows of the campus call him Scoots.'l just why this name, is a mystery. Hugo believes in the optimistic life. His smile is one of the beauties of the campus scenery. We shall miss it sadly when it is gone. We should be inconsolable were it not that Bob Wilson is practicing, and we hope by next year to liave a duplicate Yes, that is how we will remember Hugo, by his smile. What better monu- ment could a man have,-sunny weather, rainy weather, the score in our favor or hopelssly against us, Hugo smiles. i VVINSBORGUGH. Winsborough: notice it,-a Hossy name, don't you think? A person would at once pick the bearer of such a name for a great man, but along just what line of endeavor, whether poet or statesman, would be hard to decide. The particular specimen which we have corralecl is a reformer. He hails from that prosperous little burg at the confluence of the Kaw and Missouri rivers, which calls, itself Kansas City because it is in Missouri. Coming from this cultured locality, Winsborough was astounded at the barbarity of the clothing worn by the men of the campus, especially the neckwear. He immediately sought to institute a reform, he himself being the example of things right and proper. ARMSTRONG. Mr. Armstrong. We don't know any other name for him. One would as soon think of calling the sphinx by its first name. And as far as nick- name, the campus will never produce a man with the hardihood to suggest such a step. Armstrong has practiced longer than Boyer and has the Uno smilel' system down almost to perfection. Among college activities, he is interested in debating and track work. If a student were to see Armstrong loafing down town, he would immediately faint, and it is doubtful if he would recover. Were a student to hear him laugh, he would run him into a vacant building and charge admission. We need all kinds on the campus serious and frivolous, the one to balance the other. 103 Not in the Catalogue. He planned his education Sitting. quietly at home, Planned to top the wisdom found in Classic Greece and Ancient Rome But when thru a week of college He had floundered in a fog He discovered many studies Not in the catalogue. He sang a ringing ditty Fromiatop a swaying pole, He found the cave out south of town A rather trying hole. The K. O. D. H. thru with him, His memory slipped a cog, There were so many studies Not in the catalogue. The coach made him a half-back A dandy one at that. He proved himself a fusser And was taken -in a frat. At length the four years finished To the world he looked agog, Said the finest things in college Were not in the catalogue. I 7 104 Limericks. s1'oU1r. A brilliant young student named Stout, Knew what he was talking about, But made so much noise Addressing the boys, That soon from the dorm he went out. GUNN. A witty young senior named Groshon, For chasing had a great notion, If anyone said I'll be fussing or dead, SETTLES. C-roshon said, 'Tll second the motion. Another young senior named Settles, Lives out in the sticks and the nettles, His wonderful smile Makes his face look the while, Like a rosebud without any petals. Q RILEY. That brilliant young spieler is Riley, Don't get him mixed up with Doug Smiley I didn't have time To think of a rhyme, So had to rhyme Riley with Smiley. COOK. Old Cook was a basso profundo, At Seminole chasing got stung o, He didn't weep much For besides being Dutch, A He is still rather fresh and quite young o OSHAIR. There was a young-freshman named O'I-Iair VVho'd rather have red hair than no hair On his face therels a spot, In fact a whole lot, Very 'sad in one young and so fair. 106 Songs of the Campus. 1.

O, see the pretty, Senior class, this class of 19105 I hope that some of us will, pass if not our ranks are thin. I donlt know anything to say about the brilliant bunch, except that since the first of May we meet each week for lunch. Doc Duncan is a little boy but has a mighty brain, he fears the pensive maiden coy and some day he would fain a Princeton Theologue become and fight the demon rum. I started out to write a page about the seniors bold, but rhymes are not the rage to night, the weather is so cold. The Russian is a learned man, a son of Abraham, it's wonderful how long he can read Greek and not say, Dad gun it. 'He can't express how much he knows, not even in exams. Bob B-lack and I-Iouf, the elder, tho, are quietas young lambs. George Court- land Mather came here from the wild and Wooly West,-we hope no more of them will come if he is like the rest. James VVillis 'Wilson is a shark at nearly everything, also quite handsome after dark, but please don't let him sing. That all and dignified young man came here from Mexico, if ever out of work he can be spieler in a show. The younger I-Iouf takes great delight in mak- ing up a pun, and that young man so fair and light is Mr. Groshon Gunn. The wisest man of all the class is G. B. Icenhowerg he is our worthy president, our strong and mighty tower. G. Tucker came here long ago and every Sun- day preaches, Ilrn sure that I would like to know the doctrine that he teaches. C. Settles is a country man and lives out north of town, the way he knows his lessons would make a monkey frown. Sedalia, over west of here, sent Mr. Johnnie Readyg for one so young and brilliant he holds himself quite steady. The seniors sure look very great in their black caps and gowns, the people come to see them from all the nearby towns. I know this isn't poetryg I' m sure it is not prose. The more I think the more I try to show I do not pose as any literary man or rival of Ed. Poe's. I simply had this page to fill before I went to eat I wish I had more time to kill, at that I'm hard to beat. The ink I had is now all gone, I think that I'll go too.
