Throughout these years the Alma Mater has pro- gressed steadily, ever increasing in size and in influence, a builder of cultured Christian men. As NVestminster Completes her third quarter- century of service the Blue Jay of 1924 feels again the spirit of the lVestminster of 1849, a spirit now augmented by an infinitely greater possibility for service. The Staff feels that it will have its small part in the onward march if this Anniversary Blue Jay will aid in linking the YVestminster of 1849 to the XVestminster of 1924f'in an effort to make better the Vlfestminster that-is to be. ,S 5 Lk y .

For we feel that While circumstances have kept some in closer touch with the College than others, still, all credit for her steady progress is-'due to the combined efforts and devotion of all of their Alumni and Friends, and in no Wise to any one person. May this book but show more clearly the fruits of their devotion to ,lVestminster. 9.

HE HARDY PIONEERS of the stern frontier lands of our nation's I history looked to the churches among them to establish and care for the educational needs of their children. Nor has this later day left us Without the need of the church college, rather does the hurry and bustle of our complex life make it all the more necessary that the training of the heart keep pace With that of the mind. Westminster College Was founded as a small college and as a college only. lt was intended to be a thoroughly human institution in which personality should transcend machinery. The high hopes its founders had for it have not been in vain. The college Was founded in 1849 as Fulton College and chartered by the State of Missouri as Westminster Collegein 1853. The first annual cata- log, that of -1853-54, shows that the faculty then consisted of four men: Professor William VanDoren, Professor Samuel S. Laws, Professor expense for the Baird,and Pro- fessor James G. Smith, the first graduate of the college. O n e hundred a n d fourteen s t u- dents Were en- rolled thatyear. It is interest- ing to note the s t a tement 'of this c a t a lo g t h a t Board- ing, including Washing, fires, and lights, in F u l t o n , o r Within a rea- s 0 n a b l e dis- t a n c e , W a s 31.50 to 253.00 a Week.

Some- of the,-faculty rules ' of that early day give u s suggestive hints of the life of the t i m e. F o r example, No student is allowed to have or carry Weap- o n s , s W o rd canes, pistols, or any other t h a n p e n knives, and the f'U6 '-l as i -4 pf:-1 4 .

Further on we read: Attendance on circuses is not allowed, and attend- ance on shows, or any public entertainments, when forbidden, is an of- fensef' The rapid growth of the college before the civil war is attested by the steady increase in the total enrollment and in the number of graduates each succeeding year. Indeed, the position attained in this time made it pos- sible for Westminster to be the only college in Missouri to continue its work unbroken through the war, though, of course, the war resulted in a great decrease in attendance and in the loss of some valuable securities. This position enabled the college to lead in matters of educational policy. Dr. M. M. Fisher, Professor of Latin at Westminster from 1855 to 1876, writes in his History of Westminster College: Westminster College was the first institution in the West, if not in the whole country, that put the English School on a level with the classics, and insisted on a masterly knowledge of the noble English as a mental gymnastic inferior to no other. This policy was largely the result of the influence of the first incumbent of the Chair of English, Prof. Clark Strong, a Yale graduate, who came to the Westminster faculty in 1857. The ability of its faculty members, indeed, has been the chief source of Westminster's usefulness. The college has ever been fortunate in her lead- ership. The first president of the institution was the Reverend Samuel S. Laws, Ph.D., LL.D. Dr. Laws was a remarkable man, inventor of the OLD WESTMINSTER HALL Erected 1853 six mf L.

After eight years of service he resigned his position at Westminster to accept the presidency of the University of Missouri. Dr. Laws was succeeded in 1868 by Dr. Nathan L. Rice, the famous logician whose argument in his great debate with Alexander Campbell won so keen a thinker as Henry Clay to Calvinism. Dr. Rice served the college as presi- dent and professor of theology for six years. When Professor M. M. Fisher resigned from the faculty in 1870 to accept a position at the Univer- sity of Missouri, he wrote: It gives me special pain to leave Dr. Rice, whom I' love as a father, and whose great soul and unmurmuring devotion to duty, under all circumstances, have kindled in my heart a veneration for him never felt for any other man. A few of the other great names associated with Westminster are: Pro- fessor C. C. Hersman, D.D., LL.D., a graduate of the college, and its dis- tinguished president and professor of Latin and Greek from 1877 to 1887, who is now enjoying a vigorous old age as Professor Emeritus at the Union Theological Seminary of Richmond, Va., William H. Marquess, D.D., LL.D., of New York City, one of the great preachers of the Presbyterian Church and Dean of the White Bible School of New York at the time of his death, John Jay Rice, M.A., LL.D., who ably served Westminster as a professor for almost fifty-two years and whose signal abilities and deep sympathies became an enduring inspiration to all those who are so happy as to have been in his class room, John Harvey Scott, Ph.D., LL.D., a graduate of Westminster, still vigorous in this his fifty-ninth year as Professor of Mathematics at Westminster, ai man. who has transformed his wonderful abilities into blessed usefulness with great distinction.

For several years after the civil War its fi- nances Were in such condition as to make its continuance doubt- ful, but the men Whose splendid abilities had made the college's Work so successful evinced singular devo- tion to this work and in 1872 they oiered to sacrifice a part of Emted 1910 their salaries. Each member of this faith- ful faculty sacriiiced about one-third of his already meager income. The faculty then consisted of N. L. Rice, C. C. Hersman, J. N. Lyle, J. H. Scott, J. J. Rice, and B. Y. George. Such Was the spirit of the men Whose consecration to their work em- powered their abilities for far-reach- ing achievement. Each was Willing to lose self in the service of an idealg each had faith in the vision he had caught from aboveg and their splendid en- ergies have enriched the traditions of the seventy-one graduating classes of Westminster. The body of alumni, too, have caught this vision, and have served the com- monwealth with distinction. That Westminster has inspired students to value scholarship is seen in the fact that 76 per cent of her alumni have pursued graduate courses in the uni- versities. Tvventy-eight per cent of the college's graduates have entered the ministry, 16 per cent have gone in- CHARLES E' BOVINQ DD' to educational work, 15 per cent into Eleventh Pmident WESTMINSTER HALL eight S My -- N-:J-:wma z 'L '-M '- ' '- A : A -::Wj,N,'jj,VV W' W' A W W, .....

No less than 35 colleges and universities have been headed by Westminster graduates. One of these, Dr. J. C. Jones, was until recently president of the University of Missouri. The college stands today on the threshold of a new era-an era in which her increased assets will widely extend her sphere of influence. All of the buildings now standing are comparatively new, the fire of 1909 having taken the old Westminster Hall. The crest of the campus hill supports Reunion Hall, a dormitory with rooms for about sixty students, Washing- ton West Mansion, the president's homeg the new Westminster Hall, Wil- liam Chrisman Swope Memorial Chapel, and Science Hall, the oldest of the group, built in 1901. A central heating plant was put in in 1921, tunnels now c o n - necting it with e v e r y building on th e campus. The William Chrisman Swope Chapel and the James Chrisman organ were the gifts of Mrs. Mar- garet C. Swope in memory of her son and her brother re- spectively, both of whom were West- minster men. DAVID R. KERR, Ph.D.. D.D., LL.D. Tenth President A twenty-acre athletic field, the gift of Judge Henry S. Priest, '72, of St. Louis, stands back of the college cam- pus. During the past year this field has been remade and improved at a cost of twice its purchase price. It now contains two gridirons, three dia- monds and a twen- ty-five-foot track, four laps to the mile, with one straightaway for a 220- yard dash. A second straightaway will be developed later. The two ten- nis courts on Priest Field have been put in better condition than ever, which with the two on the campus proper give ample accommodations for this line of sports for the present. About a quarter to a third of Priest Field still remains for future development. A new field house erected last summer is much more commodious and better equipped than the old one ever was. The bleachers furnish seating for about 2,000 and it is planned to erect additional ones to accommodate in all 5,000 people. Though all of its opportunities are not yet met, the college stands on a firm financial basis with a sound fiscal policy. Credit for the recent addi- tions to its endowment should go to President E. E. Reed, D.D., LL.D., who found the college with a net productive endowment of S176,000 and build- ing and grounds valued at S204,000, when he accepted the presidency in 1915. The college now has a productive endowment of S625,000 with 'nine ff 2, ,,,,,, M., U ..., I ... ..., ,M ,, ..., . ,...,,... . ,,,, . . ,,..,,, ,...., . -- ..... -.. . ,,-, ,.,,... .. . .....N,!

The total assets of the college are now over a million and a half dollars. This progress has been made under President Reed's administration.

There were a couple of excep- tions, but more of them anon. Speaking generally, a skilled ob- server tells us that they were the greenest freshmen that ever were turned loose upon this school. To use l1is words, they looked like a flock of jackrabbits, their ears laid back all ready to run! Time has worked wonders with this once crude excrescence of our countryside, and never could one even deign to imagine that these smooth-tongued, suave, sophisticated, philosophical gentlemen who stroll about our campus affecting the derby hats and sticks could have been produced from the mean little worms that once crawled about 'neath the tiny blue caps. B Of the 66 who started in 1920, only 16 remain to graduate this year. Some have gone to other colleges, some have gone to work, some, poor fellows, are married, some, after staying out a year, are back, but no longer with the class of '24. As to the sixteen faithful ones, if you would know what they have been doing these four years, just look them up in the rogues' gallery preceding these words, for fear not, they have not left out any achievements of theirs, nay, rather even than that, take what you find there with at least the proverbial grain of salt, remember- ing that, like all seniors, they have the trouble known as expanded cranium, so overlook it, in a few months they will be over it. Speaking of a few months hence reminds me, I must tell you some- thing of what the class will be doing a few years hence. Perhaps Pd as well take them as they come, so Bill Beare is first to submit to the gaze of the seer. Of Bill we are especially proud. When he first came here, he was the dearest mother's boy one could imagine. Every night at 111116 o'clock Bill went to bed. Now he never sleeps. Bill is quite a musicker, too, his clarinet playing has great persuasive power, it has even persuaded bricks to float through the panels of his door at night. He says he is going to be a teacher tJoplin preferred since the Glee Club trip, with Nevada a close secondj. James Brown, otherwise known as James the Brown Monk, rightly next deserves our attention, not only because his name is next but because he has been Bill's room- mate for three years. Monk knows every man, woman and child in and about Fulton. He was the organizer of the Razzberries, and of Brown's Greek Orchestra. Brown is going to study medicine after thirty-thfree 2 ,,,,,A,,, , ,,,,,,.NN .... ,,,,,, ,,,, . . , ,,,.,, . ..

I must keep t1'ack of him, so as to know what town not to live in, his doctoring might kill me. Kenneth Cherry has quietly gone his way among us and kept to his early decision to be a mathematics teacher. So a few more years will see him helping others over the tough road he has just traveled. Carl Newbolt, another Callaway boy, also came to VVestminster planning to be a teacher, but Professor VVeigle has taught him so much chemistry that he wants to use it and hence is looking for work in chemistry. Speaking of chemists, next year will probably see Harold Harner teach- ing in chemistry lab somewhere, blankly looking at some studentts ex- periment, wiggling his nose over a vile-smelling test tube, and saying, VVell, well, what does that smell like UV' ct Ia Professor Vlleigle. Harner has kept himself hidden in Science hall most of the time, appearing last year to edit the Blue Jay, and then returning to his retorts and other mean looking apparatus. Stanley Clay is already engaged at his pro- fession of teaching, returning to us in June for his degree, and then go- ing back to his professorship at Kemper. Harold Hamilton is planning on succeeding his brother Jack as professor of History in about fifty years, spending the intervening time on an extended flivver trip through the West. Frederick Hockemeyer is going to the Kentucky Theological Semi- nary to study for the ministry. Harold B. VVeir will also go to Ken- tucky Theological with Freddy. VVe are worried about the hearts of the Louisville girls after Harold gets there, but maybe Freddy can con- trol him. Fred Bell Montgomery and Fleetwood VVhitsitt are going to be teachers of the youth of our land, teaching them the way they should go fto Westmiiistertj. Giles Matthews likes traveling so well that he is going to join a Chau- tauqua again this summer, perhaps connecting himself with it perma- nently. James Ernest Shelby, the handsome blonde, has literary ten- dencies. He feels the desire to write, to create, and so he is going into journalism. From president of the student body to a cub reporter will be hard, but we ,ll vote for you for president some day, Shellum. Dee Russell isn't sure yet what he wants to do. He wants some kind of work, so he can get married, but he doesn't know what it is. And now last I come to those who have been here longest, and it is with tears in my eyes that I realize that this commencement will see the passing of two historic institutions from our campus, Schrader and White. The old columns and Peterman will then stand alone. Galt Schrader is going to study for the ministry, probably at TVestern Theo- logical Seminary, while VVhite is going to work which awaits him in oil chemistry. So ends the roll, and twenty-five years from now, may they all gather at Westmi11ster's hundredth anniversary, successful in life, as they have been in VVestminster. thirty-four Q'- ' V- ., , . .. . .M ,...... .,.... , . .M 'Xv.,, L ww ,,,,, , ' 4 f V' f W V W MM Wk - Z f wif W . , ,W ww W W.

For out of this class of green, simple and unsophisticated freshmen were to come the lead- ers of VVestminster. This class was, perhaps, no different from previ- ous freshman classes, except that it was larger, hence by virtue of num- bers more green, more simple and more unsophisticated. , However, a few short months of polishing by the faculty Cand sophomoresj re- vealed in this motley class a group of men who were truly diamonds in the roughf' Those that were found to be hopeless were soon weeded out, so that out of our original eighty-six entrants we had but fifty-two left when school opened in the fall of '22. The passing of that year again reduced our ranks and when this collegiate year rolled around we found ourselves with but thirty-four. But ah, while we say but thirty-four, these 34 were the elite as it were, the cream of the college men, bar none! They had been weighed in the balance and found every whit perfect. A brief review of the class activities discloses its marked leadership. The football and base- ball teams are captained by men of '25. The debating squad is led by a member of this class. The president of Pi Kappa Delta is a ,25 man. Un the publications are found men of 725, both the Fortnightly and the Blue Jay having been edited by the men of 725. The Y. M. C. A. for the past two years has been led by a man from this class. Yes, and we can lay claim to the head cheer leader's position, as one of our most illus- trious members, Peterman, has for the last two years filled that posi- tion most ably. Modesty compels us to desist in any further enumeration of the many honors held by this class. We can in closing but say that the men of '25 are true-blooded Blue Jays, loyal to their Alma Mater, and ever-ready to work for her best interests and lasting success. In the words of the Alma Mater: VVe, thy sons, pledge our devotion, Thine, we are thine own. forty-two M aww? ..... ------ -A - - - Q,1,11g: - '--Y ' -'1i21zfX'feggg, ff ,WML ' ff W ' ',' V ewfwzfxfuf ' , new fWvw m v-n, I ', A M , ,--- W ?

The Ctllasf uf '26 9' N THE fall of 1922 the Class of 1926 wore some ninety-six Fresh- J man caps. The months passed and again came the fall of the year, and the ninety-six Freshman caps had taken on the form of seventy-six learned and powerful and dignified Sophomores, the bane of the Class of 1927. This is, we think, the largest Sophomore class ever enrolled in YVest- minster. The Class of ,26 beside being large, is active in College af- fairs. Kenny Vilood, Art Swift, Burtis, and Pearson won their VV in football last fall, Pearson and Wlood getting All-State Honorable Men- tion. I-Sugl' Stewart, Pearson, and Tom Botts were on the basketball squad. Kinder, Cunningham, Cave, Maxwell, Diekroeger, and Stewart are playing on the Blue Jay baseball squad this spring. The class was also represented in literary circles. Raymond Kroggel won second prize in the Dobyns contest. 'Kroggel also helped to beat the Pennsylvania University debating team, while Haley, Keowing, and Lineberry had places on the debating team. Alyne Burtis represented MCKINSEY, JOHN PAUL ....

Also on the Blue J ay staff were Kroggel and Gerard, and on the Fortnightly staff, Morrow, Cunningham, and WVOOd. Raymond Kroggel was president of the 'Lethian Society. On the Student Council the Class of '26 was represented by Robert Owen and VVood. Linneman has been elected vice-president of the Y., Miller, secretary, and Wlood, treasurer. Arthur Swift is a member of the Skulls of Seven, and Alyne Burtis of Delta Tau Gamma. Burtis, Adams, Lineberry, and VVood are Mustard Seeds. The Glee Club and Band have their fair share of Sophomores. All in all, the Sophomore Class expects to make 426 mean something in the history of Wlestminster College. The class has not decided whether to claim the Class of 'QSVZ as its own. This elass has for members Barrett, Frost, Fulkerson, and Pre- late Gilbreath-all famous men.

In the first conference football game of the season the Blue Jays fought and the stands cheered the far heavier and more experienced Jewell team off Priest Field feeling more than fortunate in their 3-0 victory. In driving rain and chilling wind the Blue J ay stands cheered the Eagle back home in defeat. And then it was the Old-Timern scratched his head and stroked his beard and said that Pete and Weil' and Peacher had put more pep into the stands than had been in his day. But he said we must remember that Pete himself had learned the art in those same good old daysg so 'twas not so bad, 'twas not so bad. Peterman served his second season as head eheer leader, and Weir completed his fourth year in front of the stands.

Around these men centered all the hopes of a successful Westminster football machine for the coming season, just in from a week of football camp, dirty, tired, many of them freshmen, but all ready for a concentrated two months of fight. 'Westminster made her first kickoff' to M. M. A. and in this first game developed a confidence among Blue Jay followers that has not always been there. The team surprised by showing smoothness of action, quick think- ing, and above all a real punch. The entire game was rife with pretty pass- ing, punting duels and battering line smashes, this latter method putting over both touchdowns. The best fight of the entire season occurred when we played Jewell.

A mere ob- server would at once concede a several touchdown victory to the bigger team, but the men who watched that game were thrilled as they have never been before to see the Westminster eleven stop those mighty rushes and carry back the fight with a fierce aggressiveness that kept the ball in Jewell territory much of the time. We did lose by three points, but there arose out of that afternoon's play a greater Blue Jay spirit and a new respect for Westminster teams. The three games following were disappointments to everyone interested in Blue and White aggregations. The game with Missouri Wesleyan was lost by three touchdowns where there should have been but one, if any. True, the Cameron men were a heavier team and possibly more experienced yet the Blue Jays did not show their wonted punch in instances that would have meant victory or, at the least, an even break. There were, however, spots of brilliancy throughout the play. fifty-eight f l W if Wie?

SINGLETON Guard End Tackle End Against the Viking team from Missouri Valley, the Blue team played a pitiful game. The aggressive iight and drive that characterized the Jewell game was wholly lacking. A bit of such play would have meant a decisive if not an easy victory for the home team. The opponent was unable to cross the goal line, however, and was forced to be satisfied with three field goals. In the next game with the Warrensburg Mules, the first out-of-town con- test, the Westminster team again lost and once more through carelessness. Warrensburg, desperate in the last quarter, began a wild passing game and one such heave was caught with a resultant score. The aerial attack then launched by the blue team again threatened the opposing goal but the time handicap proved too great. The game ended with a thirteen-nine count. The next game away from home was with the Dutch lads at Central Wesleyan. The Westminster team was accompanied by most of the stu- dent body. The Warrenton eleven playing two ineligible men were de- cisively whipped by a score of forty-one points.

Twenty first downs, and eleven out of seventeen passes for Westminster resulted in seven touchdowns. The blue and white team were playing in their best form and there was never at any time any question as to which was the better team. For the last time, the Blue Jays went abroad to play Maryville on their grounds. The score was identical with that of the Warrensburg game with the majority again with the opponents. The Westminster team was far from its real form. Slow in starting to fight, the blue eleven allowed the Teachers to beat it to the scoring and though it pulled out of the rut and showed some real football, the advantage proved to be piled up too high. Thanksgiving day dawned amid a deluge of rain which nevertheless did not in the least dull the enthusiasm of all Fulton. The whole town reverb- erated with Blue Jay yells, streamed Blue Jay colors, and breathed forth Blue Jay spirit.

Right there was Won the Central game. They swept out on the field, kicked off, and then crashed through the Central line time and again, battling in a veritable sea of mud to crown the work of a season with a football victory over Central.

His accurate shooting together with his speedy floor work made him the strong- est man on the team and the outstanding player of the entire conference. The opening game of the season with M. M. A. showed that a crack team had been developed. The floor Work was excellent and the coordinated team play showed to advantage. The Westminster team Won easily by a 30-19 score. In the first conference game of the season the Blue team scored a Win i i l w l . 1 szxty-four L . cooa HUPKE HARRIS DRUMMOND Guard Guard Forward over the Eagles of Central. Remembering the football results, together with this latest victory over the ancient rival, the crowd received this new- est victory with boisterous enthusiasm. Central came rumored as this year's conference winner. Her team, playing together for several years, had developed coordination and smoothness not to be expected from our own five. Nevertheless the final score 144-241 almost doubled, favored the Blue Jays. Gallemore of Central and Whitsitt and Iba thrilled the crowd with long loop shots While Buckner of Central and Harris and Hopke in- sured the necessary fight of the game. The next game was with Culver-Stockton, the strongest team met throughout the season and acknowledged contenders for the top position. The play was exceptionally fast all the way. At the end of the time limit, the score was tied 27-27. An extra five minute period was played in which the Canton men netted three more baskets while Whitsitt caged Westmin- ster's only goal. This proved to be the team's only loss of the seasonl The red team from Jewell came next, fresh from a victory over the sixty-Jive ' 5 f, ,.., .M 4 'M' 'LM ' T- ' ' M ' ' ' N' ' ZH ' M N' zmiwfawjwzfffzvwf ii--:Wy ...xi al M K ,W W mm.

They left with the short end of a 31-18 count which conclusively proved the superior work of the Blue Jay aggre- gation. Whitsitt, as usual, led the scoring with Iba closely seconding him with one less basket. Followers of the Blue Jay experienced a new sensation, or at least dif- ferent, when they witnessed the game with Missouri Valley. At the end of the first half the score was 7-5 favoring Westminster. The team had not gotten under way in their usual manner and were apparently having trouble. The second half, however, saw the clouds cleared away and the Blue Jay team playing their characteristic game which resulted in a win by 29-11. In the first game away from home, the Blue Jays won from M. M. A by a 43-27 score. The cadets presented a much stronger team in this contest than they had previously shown but were, nevertheless, entirely outclassed by the Westminster five. Whitsitt's accurate shots were the feature of the evening. The next opponent faced was the crippled Tarkio team. Minus four regulars, the Tarkio five put up a brave fight but were no match for the Blue Jay offense led by Whitsitt going at top form. Soon after the begin- ning of the second half, an entire new team was substituted. The final count was 47-12. Westminster went abroad for the next game which was with Culver- Stockton at Canton. Though this was the team that had handed the Blue Jays the only defeat of the season, the final score, 30-18, favored the Fulton five. Both teams claimed second place at the beginning of the game as each had lost only one game. This contest was not nearly as exciting as that played on the Fulton court. The Canton team was totally outclassed in the first half. The excellent guarding of Hopke and Harris limited the opp0nent's count to three baskets while Westminster was able to tally a total of 23 points. In the second half Culver-Stockton returned strongly fighting but did little more than break even on the scoring. sixty-six 2 1, . . . .. ..... . .,,. , ..,,, , . . .M .,.. ...l ,,... .M ..-ll .

IZ' The Blue Jay five clinched their right to the second position by defeating Missouri Wesleyan. The game was played on the home court and, though Westminster played without the services of Whitsitt who was injured, the Westminster team came out of the combat with the advantage of a 34-24 score. The blue and white team forged rapidly ahead during the first half and gained a large margin by some beautiful shootingg Hopke particularly dropping in long loop shots that did not touch the rim. In the second half the long Westminster lead was cut down materially by the sensational shooting of Lower of the opposition. Iba and Blackmore were tossing in baskets consistently, however, and the Wesleyan five were not able to over- come the substantial lead. The entire game was replete with splendid shooting and an unusual variety of play. Blackmore, now owning a regu- lar berth in forward position, led the scoring. In the second game of the season with Central, the Blue Jays again proved their superiority by defeating the green jerseys of Fayette by a 26-21 tally. Although not as fast as the characteristic Westminster game, the contest was interesting. The duel between Gallemore, Central's star, and Whitsitt, ace of Westminster, furnished plenty of excitement and good playing. In the first half Gallemore made 9 points for his team while W hitsitt garnered 10. In the next half, however, both men were so closely guarded that each was able to make only one more basket. The Viking team of Missouri Valley playing on their own court handed Westminster the first real scare of the season by holding the team to a 20-17 count. The Blue Jays were slow in starting and the Valley five tally- ing some early baskets were in the lead for an uncomfortable length of time. Early in the second half, however, the Blue Jay offensive began to form and the necessary baskets were made within the time limit. Whitsitt again led with 9 points. In the last game of the season, the second with Missouri Wesleyan, the Blue Jays fell behind in the count for a time while they were getting used to the Cameron court, but in the second half they quickly rallied and at the final whistle were once more victors with a 35-28 advantage. Whitsitt closed his college basketball career by once more being high point man with 16 points. Iba closely followed with 11. Hopke accounted for the re- maining points. The Westminster basketball season of 1924 was a decided success. The Blue Jays won undisputed right to second place and were just nosed out of the championship position by Drury. The Drury team did not, however, play as many conference games as did Westminster nor did she play any of the three strongest teams of the conference. We feel sure that a game between Drury and our team would result in another Westminster triumph. Following are the season's scores: W tminst '30 es er ........... ...... . ........ . M. M.

For two years Blue Jay teams had won their games almost entirely because of the pitching of Captain Dewey McKnelly. This year, however, the hitters have shown power which, with even fair pitching, will win a majority of games. But 1924 saw the pitching staff also stronger than before. Beside Mc- Knelly the team has a star pitcher in Clyde Kinder, who has won three games at the time the book goes to press. Behind the bat Farrington has caught a consistent game. The 1924 in- field presents almost an entirely new set of faces, three of the regulars, Iba at first, Hopke at short, and Durham at third, being freshmen. Cunning- ham, a letter man last year, has been shifted to second and has played a much improved game. All of the infielders are hitting well, but the field- ing has been rough in spots. Ben Herndon is showing up well as utility infielder. In the outfield the regulars have been Whitsitt in left, Diekroeger in center, and Cave in right, all of whom have won letters in baseball. Die- kroeger and Cave, especially, have fielded well and hit hard, Diekroeger being the team's most consistent hitter. Subsituting in the outfield are Farmer, Maxwell, Mayfield, and Chase. In the opening game of the season against Central at Fayette, Captain McKnelly out pitched the Central star, Gallemore, and the Blue Jays won 3-1. The game was hardfought all the way but McKnelly, giving only three hits and striking out nine men, was never in danger. Hopke featured the Westminster attack by making three of the six hits garnered off of Galle- more, one of them going for three bases. The second game at Fayette turned out to be a farce.

At Mexico, the team slumped and was hard pressed to take a poorly- played game from the M. M. A. Cadets by a seven to six score, McKnelly pitching and receiving ragged support. In the third game of the season against Central, this and the Jiext game being played at Fulton, Gallemore was in good form and though hit hard at times managed to gain a shut-out victory, 4-0. McKnelly was off . form, apparently lacking his usual stuff This was readily understood when a day or two later he was taken sick, probably to remain out of the game for the rest of the season. Kinder's second game against Central was very nearly a repetition of his 17-1 victory. This time the game went but seven innings during which the Blue Jays piled up an 18-3 score. Fielding was poor and the West- minster batters hit almost at will against three Central pitchers. One of the best games seen on Priest Field for some time was the second game with M. M. A. In the first two innings the Blue Jay inner defense was ragged and the Cadets pushed over three counters, all unearned. In their Iirst inning the Blue Jays gained one of these runs back on Die- kroeger's triple and Hopke's single, and in the second they brought the score to 3-2 when Cave doubled and scored on Durham's single. In the fourth inning the score was tied up when Hopke got a home run along the right field line. From then on the game was a beautiful pitchers' battle between Kinder and Newman, the Cadet hurler. Iba's long two- bagger with Diekroeger on base broke up the game in the tenth inning. Kinder's pitching was excellent. He gave but four hits in the ten innings and struck out eighteen men.

VVith the completion of the new track with its 220-yard straightway next year it seems certain that track will again take its rightful place among the sports on Priest Field. There are men practicing on Priest Field every afternoon with suffi- cient ability to form the nucleus for a good college track team. As the book goes to press, the men have engaged in but one meet, that a prac- tice meet with M. M. A. at Mexico. In this meet the XVestminster men, without much preliminary work, showed their natural ability by win- ning with 20 points to spare. Fred Allen was high-point man with 20 points to his credit being first in four races in which he was entered. Sa11diso11 with firsts in the mile and half-mile was tied with Sexton for runner-up honors with 10 points. Sexton won first in the discus, tied for first in the high jump and was third in the shot-put. Among others taken to the meet were Pearson and Foster in the dashes, Fox and Kuhn in the shot-put, Sweazey in the javelin and 440, Elsea in the 440, Farrington in the broad jump and hurdles, Iba in the high jump alld hurdles, Nixon in the broad jump and 440, and Bridge- ford in distances. Coach Pixlee has taken Allen, Pearson, Foster, Farrington, and Nixon to the State meet at Liberty. These men are athletes of high calibre and it is hoped that they will place in their events. Cn the 23d of May the squad goes to Fayette to participate in a dual meet with the Central team. A Victory in this meet will mean triumphs for YVest- minster teams in four lines of sport against Central for the 1924 College year. seventy-five 1 '1' ai-4114? ' , ' 4 ff' ,,... ....,.....

AWK The Jfurtnigbtlp f' T HAS often been said that the editor of the Fortnightly has the il most responsible position on the campus after the president of the Student Body. Indeed, this statement is not without good foundation. For the Fortnightly, the live organ of information, has an opportunity of dictating to the Student Body the policy which it shall follow. Vllhile news is essential to the life of an up-to-date paper, still, at the same time, there is another essential: this is the editorial. The edi- torial is perhaps the heart ofthe paper. A good share of the credit for whatever student spirit has been manifested in WCStml11StG1' this year should without a doubt go to Ernest Shelby, the editor, and the mind back of the Fortnightly. Shelby has this year given VVestminster a live, clean, progressive paper, o11e which will rank above most of those put out by the Missouri colleges. The paper this year has been full of news not only of the past, bgut of the future. VVell-written stories appeared in the Fortnightly on nearly all events of interest during the college year. The student body was kept informed on all student activities: football games, debating, oratory, the financial campaign, the Glee Club, fraternity activities, Wlilliam VVoods and Synodical doings, the literary societies, the Y., Sigle, Peterman, Brown's Greek Orchestra and Joe Haw. Nathan llratson, the business manager, carried on the financial end of the paper in a business-like fashion. I Next year Aleyn Burtis and Alois Johns will be at the head of the Fortnightly and another year of success for the publication is assured. eighty-three l r l l l I L lg Af' ...M .. . ,...

The victory over Pennsylvania was especially gratify- ing as that team was one of the best in the country, having defeated the English team from Oxford University last year. The characteristic loyalty and determination of Westminster de- baters was demonstrated when with Dr. Reeves, Kissling, Kroggel and Lineberry gave up their entire spring holidays to prepare for the last two debates. A new idea was inaugurated this year in the freshman debate with Kansas Agricultural College. Garner, Brown and Vaughn repaesented the Blue Jay fledglings and put up a good argument for the World Court. Because of a difficulty in securing judges no decision was rendered. A summary of this year's debating season is given below: Vtlestminster defeated Culver-Stockton College. VVestminster lost to Central College. VVestmiuster lost to Park College. VVestminster defeated Huron College. Westmiiistei' defeated VVheaton College. VVestminster defeated Henderson-Brown. VVestminster defeated Pennsylvania University. YVestminster defeated Denver University. VVestminster lost to Kansas City University. Westmiiistei' debated Missouri Wesleyari with no decision. eighty-five X f'-f M ..., , ,III , , lv ,,AAA AAA.A . if A...., MAA. ..A.A. . . R AAA R. .. ..4..

Some three years later, realiz- ing the need of an organization for the furtherance of literary pursuits outside the regular college curriculum, a group of students came together in October, 1852, Ellld fo1'med the Philologic Literary So- ciety, which is, therefore, the oldest literary society west of the Missis- sippi river. Mr. George Wasliiiigtoii, of this city, was the first presi- dent of the Philologics. The object of the society has always been to accustom its members in the art of public speaking, to train them in the art of composition, to discipline their minds in logical reasoning, to teach them the principles of self-government and the practical knowledge of parliamenta1'y law and its usages, and to afford such other means of moral and mental im- provement as may be deemed useful. Many of the most illustrious alumni of Westmiiistei' college have received their first literary train- ing in this society. This year closes on a series of successful events, several of which have seen the Philologics victorious over their rival society. Others have brought the society into prominence in intercollegiate circles. This year's debating squad was captained by a former president of the 'Logics The 'Logic representative in the Dobyns contest was returned the winner, thus making it two years straight that a 'Logic has won this signal l1o11or. These achievements, with no flaw to mar, point to an ever successful and great Philologic Literary Society.

This literary society is the pioneer in the literary world of the VVest. It was founded when Westmili- ster was but an infant in the collegiate world. Time has been when the future looked dark, time has been wl1en it seemed as if the other ac- tivities of the college would overshadow the literary efforts, but now, after years of experience, the 'Lothian Literary Society still remains the nucleus around which centers tl1e literary work of IVestminster. 'Lethia has only to point to l1er record in the past years to substan- tiate the pride withwhich she is regarded by her adherents. The past three June contests have been won by ,Lothians Six of the eight me11 on this year's debating team are members of this society. Two of the three men who placed in the Dobyns Oratorical Contest were 'Lethians. It may be truly said that each year marks another milestone in 'Lethia's march toward a greater and more brilliant literary future. It is a society with a fine past and great opportunities for the future. OFFICERS FIRST QUARTER THIRD QUARTER S. P. CLAY - - - President R. KROGGEL - - - President H. HAMILTON - - Vice-Presulent F.

'lu 315i kappa :alta ISSOURI Alpha chapter of Pi Kappa Delta, a national honor forensic fraternity, was installed in VVestminster April 26, 1919, in recognition of the unsurpassed record of this college in intercollegiate forensics. lVestminster has the distinction of having the first chapter of Pi Kappa Delta to be installed in a Missouri College. Only men who have been successful in intercollegiate debate or oratory are admitted to membership, higher degrees are conferred according to the achievement of the student. The purpose of Pi Kappa Delta is chiefly twofold. It provides a graduated reward for merit in college forensics, thus giving encourage- ment to and recognition of proficiency in the fields of debate and oratory. lt also furnishes an organization for collegiate debaters and orators, which aids in bringing these lines of college activity into the prominence that they deserve in the colleges. It also aids in bringing together the representatives of the different colleges over the country in a spirit of fraternity that adds much to the interest and pleasure of intercol- legiate contests. Vllestminster was represented at the National Convention by Dr. Reeves, Nathan lVatson and Albert Kissling. At this convention lifest- minster's debaters, lVatson and Kissling, upholding the affirmative of the League question, defeated Huron College, of Huron, South Dakota. Six new men were added to the chapter roll this year. Missouri Alpha of Pi Kappa Delta looks forward to the coming years, proud of the brilliant record of past years and confident that the coming years will bring more and more laurels to the wonderful record of Vlfestmin- ster's debaters and orators. ninety-one F, ap., , N g MW!!

Consequently a group of these students met and with the help of John Paul Jones, one of our alumni friends, and Professor Lincoln Barker established the Christian Alliance. The stated pur- pose of the organization is fourfold: first, to foster mutual fellowshipg second, to endeavor to assist men to a prayerful decision in the choice of a life workg third, to exert as much influence as possible upon men to make VVestminster their choice of collegeg and fourth, to dedicate itself to the spiritual welfare of lVestminster.

C. A. has been consistent and thorough. I N o attempt has been made to herald the work of this organization, it has gone along its quiet way doing real effective work for the building of Christian character upon the campus of Westminster. The Thurs- day morning services in chapel have been marked by an effort on the part of the Y to have them conducted by men other than those on the faculty, with the view of bringing before the students different men to address them on the topics of the day. The Friday night services have been well attended on the whole but have on some occasions been interfered with by other ac- tivities. The spiritual life, however, that has been built up in these meet- ings cannot be estimated by the number of those present. We are grateful to those members of the faculty who assisted us by rendering their expert leadership on so many occasions. Through the generosity of the members of the Presbyterian church, to whom we extend our thanks, the 'fY sent three men to the annual Y conference at Hollister. Harold Hamilton, George McClure and Galt Schrader were the men selected to represent us. The annual Y get-together at the opening of the year was a success. Ginger snaps and sweet cider formed the menu. Even staid faculty mem- bers so forgot themselves as to get in line for a second helping. The meet- ing was saddened by the announcement that Galt Schrader would be com- pelled to resign due to the heavy courses he was to carry. At the next cabinet meeting Albert Kissling was elected to fill Mr. Schrader's unex- pired term. Through the efforts of the Y Westminster sent five men to the ninth annual International Student Volunteer Convention at Indianapolis. In March the local Y was host to the state Y. M. C. A. conference. Through its gospel team the Y has been conducting services at the Callaway jail. Services the past year were also held at churches in Carrington and McCre- die. One service a month is conducted at the State Hospital for the Insane. The officers of the ensuing year look forward to the opening of another school year. Plans are afoot which will make the Y a more useful cam- pus organization. Handbooks and blotters are now being prepared for next year. A book exchange has been started. We plan to meet the trains, and the new men will be assisted in obtaining room and employment. In every way the Y hopes to be of real service in the coming year. The aim of the Westminster Y. M. C. A. is to serve the student body in every way and with this in view we attempt to clearly place before the men the necessity of the Christian life. This year's week of meetings was con- ducted by the Rev. Mr. Morton, of Cape Girardeaug they were marked by the conversion of one man. As a Christian organization the Y. M. C. A. earnestly desires that every Westminster man may definitely accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. With this in view we intend to definitely work toward that accomplishment in the ensuing year and look forward to a year of usefulness in His service. ninety-nine fail' I. ge - of 31 D P , , . mg. 2?

Up to that time various students had taken it upon them- selves to look after these affairs, and the result was that while campus affairs were kept alive, tl1e system was very inetiicient. NVith these facts in mind, a representative group of students met in Swope Chapel on a Monday afternoon in March, 1921, and formed the Mustard Seed Organization. A The name was chosen because of the parable of the mustard seed ie smallest of seeds, and yet it grows so large that birds may roost in its branches. - VVith these words as a motto, the Seeds started as a small organization, which, it is hoped, will grow in usefulness as the school increases i11 size, until a bid to the Mustard Seed will be a coveted honor, only accorded to thirteen representative men, men who have the old XVestminster spirit at heart and are willing to do everything in their power to make this the best school in the VVest. So far the widest field of usefulness of the Mustard Seed has been in raising money to assist the various causes about the school. Plays have bee11 given, three successful campus fairs have been held, and the ticket sale for various other activities has been in the charge of the Seeds. The money raised has all been turned over to different organi- zations in the college. The first act was to purchase new uniforms for the baseball team the spring of 1921. At the end of the semester all remaining funds were turned over to the Athletic Association toward the deficit in their fu11ds. In 1922-23, the funds raised were divided between the debating team and the Athletic Association. ln the fall of 1923, the Seeds contributed 3-575 toward the purchase of the Blue Jay athletic shirts. At the time this article is being written, the Mustard Seeds are laying their plans for another campus fair, to be bigger and better than ever before, and are looking ahead in this, tl1e seventy-fifth year of our Alma Mater, to a wider usefulness that will help the school in that much, to become what we would like to see it be, the Princeton of the VVest, a school for Men.

Their organization was in response to the demand for some campus group to lead in organizing student pep. James Brown was the originator of tl1e idea, and properly he has been the leader the past three years. This year will see a new man in charge, as it is feared that Brown will graduate. At first the membership was limited to the dormitory, but feeling that this was unfair to the worth- while men out in town and in the fraternity houses, the rule was changed, and the membership enlarged to 25. In 1923 it was voted to make the cheer leaders honorary members of the Razzberries, in addi- tion to the regular 25 provided for by the rules. The candidates for the Razzberries are required to carry a can of red raspberries during pledge week, and also to have a date while carrying said can. The initiation, coming at the end of tl1is week of razzing, caps the climax and is truly a trial of tl1e mettle of the candidate. None however, has failed to survive the test, most, in fact, leaving it stronger men after the annointment with the famous goober oil. Seriously, the Razzberries have done much worthwhile during their three years of existence, and the future will see them become an even more valuable asset to VVestminster, as the student body grows, and re- quires more and more effort to weld it into a unit having the real old fighting, football spirit that has carried VVestminster to victory so often in the face of odds. To be a member of the Razzberries is an honor, and a mark of worth, for members are chosen for personal activity and worth, and not for political activity or affiliation. . one hundred five A, Y It - v Z ....

Ea. 211132 Burmitnrp Qiluh HILIQ o11ly three years of age, the NYY Dormitory Club has risen from practical obscurity to become one of the foremost or- ganizations upon the campus. The influence of its membership the team that a second line club was formed as well as the first line club of furnished its quota of leaders. It is a well-known fact that too often a college is not well rounded be- cause of the stress laid upon a certain phase of its activities at the cost of some other phase. lt may be a strictly social college. It may be an entirely athletic college. To avoid this danger, it has been the object of the Dormitory Club to become a link in the true fellowship of Westmiii- ster. The club has accomplished this purpose to an even greater extent than the founders had hoped. Fpon the social life of the college the club has also made its presence known and those who attend Dorm Club functions acknowledge them to be second to none. In the past season this organization has remained among the social leaders of VVestminster life. The Uhristmas dance was regarded as one of the best of the year. The annual St. Patrick's dance was given on March T and attained its usual degree of success. Its most important event, however, is the Dorm Club banquet, which comes but a few days before the end of the school year. Here, with the faculty, the men who have spent the preceding year together gather for the last time. lt is an occasion always to be remembered by Dorm men, for it marks the parting of the ways for many. The club has indeed reason to be proud of the well rounded life of its membership as to athletics, scholastic standing and social leadership. one hundred seven , Q. .. ..., ..... , W, .,..,..,,.... ... w,,,,,,, ,...

Although many other activities have conflicted with the meetings, this year has been no exceptiong the club enjoying one of its very best years if not the best. The membership of this club is open to all men who have had at least a semester of French. Professor Ben Kori, realizing that the knowledge of French is not only a mark of refinement and culture but that such a con- clave of students brought together by regular meetings would derive a de- cided benefit therefrom, organized the L'Alliance during his first year here. The wisdom of this action may at once be appreciated. Moreover, French is today practically an essential acquisition in the business world. The club work enables the members to be able to converse fluently in that lan- guage as no other method could afford. Like the Spanish Club, LaConstelacion, L'Alliance presents various reci- tations, short dramas, and divers quaint French games introduced by Pro- fessor Ben Kori. The French students from William Woods and Synodical Colleges, who sometimes enjoy with the members a program, add material- ly to the zest of the evening. The combination of a social and an instructive hour has been received enthusiastically by students in the past and will no doubt be welcomed as a distinct opportunity by future Westminster men.

'W lla Cltunstalaciun UE TO the ambition and energy of Professor Ben Kori the Spanish 4 Club got oif to a good start early in the year and has been meeting with fair regularity throughout both semesters. At the first meet- ing, officers were elected and plans discussed for the admission of new men, payment of dues and hopes for club work during the .months that lay ahead. The meetings of the club consist in the rendition of Spanish selections by various members. Short one or two act plays are often rendered to the amusement of both actors and audience and more particularly to the pro- fessor himself, fat least, such is the surmise of the editorb. All conversation is carried on in the Spanish language, and while some of the efforts of those present are laughable, the club work is invaluable as an aid to fluent castilian speech. Owing to the growing relations between our own country and those of South America and also the great numbers of our people that are either making their home in countries inhabited by Spanish speaking peoples or doing business there, the Spanish language is constantly growing in popu- larity and not only that but is rapidly becoming essential. Membership in this club is open to any student who has had at least one semester of the language. During the past year the club has grown con- siderably in experience and numbers. The coming year is sure to witness an even greater advance, both social and intellectual. OFFICERS PROF.

The outcome of this year's race was in question until the last moment. But when the linal count was taken on February 23, the Blue Jay ballots disclosed the truth that Miss Ruth VVilson, of Synod- ical College and Fulton, had been elected Queen of the Blue Jays for the year 1924. Miss VVilson is one of the most charming young ladies in the college and society circles of Fulton. She is a member ofthe Beta Sig Sorority and active not only in all of the work of her own school, but always a real booster of every Blue J ay activity. Miss NVilson's attractive per- sonality and her great willingness to help those about her have won her a host of loyal, true-hearted friends. This most distinctive honor, which the student body of Vilestminster can confer upon any young lady, is for the first time conferred upon a Fulton girl. The citizens of Fulton, whose interest in the contest was marked by their loyal support, and the Student Body of 1924 join their voices in congratulations to Miss VVilson and wish her truly continued success as Queen of the Blue Jays. May her loyal subjects ever render iirst place in their affections to this, their Queen, first in beauty, first in love and first in true-hearted loyalty. Long may she reign!

From the first practice in the fall till the last concert of the year the men worked faithfully. Nineteen twenty-four saw several innovations in connection With the Glee Club. S0 many men who had marked talent tried out for places on the team that a second line club was formed as well as the first line club of twenty-one men. New color was added to the regular program by the solo work of Keller on the cornet, Giesecke on the saxophone, and Schrader on the guitar. But perhaps the most popular addition to the program was Aleyn Burtis with his chalk talks. Burtis's performances were enthu- siastically received at each concert. After the opening concert in Fulton, the Club started on its eleven day trip during which concerts were held in Mexico, Moberly, Macon, Brook- field, Carrollton, Kansas City, Nevada, Joplin, Webb City, Boonville, Se- dalia, and Jefferson City. Again this year Miss Anne Henderson, the pianist, materially aided the Club in its success, and the same may be said of Mrs. Henderson Who mothered the Club on the long trip. Much credit should also go to Nathan Watson who handled the business affairs of the club, a task for any man. The Club orchestra seems to have improved greatly and the newly formed quartette took off more than its share of applause. one hundred thirteen A. , ,'i4'i',,, Q , ,I .'.- ' 4 fu W W, .........

XVith prospects for a good football team each VVestminster man Wanted to do what he could to insure a successful season. And so Harry Keller organized tl1e XVestminster Band. The Band made its inaugural appearance at the Jewell game, and it may or may not be significant that Fulton Blue Jay followers said that spirit shown by the stands at this game was the finest they had ever seen. At any rate it can truly be said that the Band has done more than its part in making 192-1 such a successful year for Blue Jay athletic teams. one hundred fourteen - A c, lMdl .T .-Z i QW.Z..E. ,.,,V F Lag.. ...,, A V '--- -mi ll, -N, 2 ' 4 W f L ff W f' ' ' ' ' V ' adm.

The first fraternity founded in the West, with a marked conservatism in its policy of expansion, it now boasts of eighty-four chapters, over twenty-eight thousand worthy wearers of the badge of Beta Theta Pi and eighty-four chapters located in the largest uni- versities and colleges of unquestioned repute. John Reily Knox is re- vered as the founder of Beta. With him were associated seven of his class- mates at Miami. The Beta Theta Pi Magazine is issued monthly. The colors of the fraternity are blue and pink in delicate shades, the flower is the rose. Alpha Delta of Beta Theta Pi is the oldest fraternity chapter enjoying active existence west of the Mississippi. Placed in Westminster at a time of strong anti-fraternity sentiment, it was maintained secretly for some time. The first chapter roll of Alpha Delta consisted of Frank Charles King, Charles McClung Napton, Thomas Nesbitt McClelland, George Clif- ton Heard, Archibald Gamble, William Hockaday Wallace, Thomas West Shaw. W. H. Wallace, of Kansas City, is the only living member of that original group. Founded so early in the history of Westminster, Alpha Delta's record is closely interwoven with that of the school. Here in the early days Alpha Delta wrote the first page of her history. Chapter meetings have been held in numerous places. For a time they were held in the rooms or the homes of individual members. The Phil- alethian Literary Society room in the old Westminster Hall was used for a time. Hardin Hall, as it was called at that time, was rented for a chapter room. This hall was located over the present Backer's Grocery. The first chapter home was in the present Palmer property on Court, moving from there to the present Cave home on Seventh. The chapter was next located in the Bush home, the present Kappa Alpha home. ln 1916 the chapter acquired the present home on Court street. Among the alumni of Alpha Delta of Beta Theta Pi are the names of United States Senator Howard Sutherland, President J. C. Jones, of Missouri University, Judge J. C. Priest, Prof. J. N. Tate, Judge W. H. Wallace, Dr. Chas. B. Boving, Dr. W. Ray Dobyns, State Senator N. T. Cave, Mayor Grant, of Fulton. one hundred twenty .. , ,A f M l 'H , . ...... ,.. ,, . . .

Four students, J. N. Q Vtvood, YV. N. Scott, S. M. Scott and VV. A. Wvalsh, who had served under him, consulted with Gen. Robert E. Lee, the new President of the College, a11d with l1is approval, founded the order. Though it had the opposition of five other fraternities in a college of 146 students, the prestige given it by its relation to Gen. Lee Zllld the noble principles a11d lofty ideals embodied in its ritual, could not but result in its rapid growth. lt took Lee as its favorite type of the perfect gentleman, and not un- naturally, therefore, despite the absence of anything sectional or po- litical in its laws, Kappa Alpha Order has restricted its activity to the Southern states, and there, in its chosen territory, its supremacy has become unquestioned. In a territory where no other fraternity has over 36 chapters, Kappa Alpha now has 56 active Chapters and 42 Alumni Uhapters. The essential teaching of the order is that its members should cherish the Southern ideal of character-that of tl1e knight who loves God and country, honors and protects pure womanhood, practices courtesy and magnanimity of spirit, and prefers self-respect to ill-gotten gain. ln the emulation of this ideal the association with persons animated by like aspirations has proved a wonde1'ful stimulus, and Kappa Alphas have, therefore, found it easy to strengthen and perpetuate these ties of com1'adeship without becoming clannish. The official publication of the fraternity is the Kappa Alpha Joutrnal, published quarterly. lts colors are Crimson and Gold, its flowers the Magnolia and Crimson Rose. Of the many wearers of the Shield and tlross today who have won distinction in life, we might mention Richard P. Hobson, John Temple Graves, Thomas Dixon, Jr., Dr. A. A. Murphree and Henry G. Chiles, present Knight Commander of the Order. K. A. boasts of having at some time in its history a governor from practically every state in the South and has three at the present time in that high office. Alpha Eta Chapter was chartered February 5, 1890, when a local fraternity, Uhi Beta Delta, having refused charters from seven other fraternities, was absorbed by Kappa Alpha. Alpha lilta's career has been a prosperous one, having led 275 men into the Greek world during its 34 years of life. The chapter has ever striven to uphold the high ideals of the order, to take an active interest in all phases of college life, and to send forth men who will reflect honor upon Vt7estminster and Kappa Alpha. one hundred twenty-two hs ,, X .M ..,. , ., ,,,,, .M ,. ,,.,,. ,...... ,. 7-7 W .

Kelley and Bathburn, members of the Mis- 'jj souri Alpha Chapter of Phi Delta Theta, visited Fulton for the purpose of establishing a chapter in VVestminster College. They visited the Philalethian Literary Society and became acquainted with Mr. W. B. C. Brown, the president of the society. They informed him of their purpose and pledged l1im to their cause. Brown was initiated on the next day, April 19, 1880, and before the end of school five others had signed the Bond of Phi Delta Theta: H. W. Davis, S. VV. Yantis, S. D. Cheney, J. A. McCoy and C. WV. Chambers. These siX, with the aid of our vcne1'able Father lNIorrison, who paved the way in the National Convention, applied for a charter, which was granted October 27, 1880. At the close of school in 1881, Missouri Beta had a chapter of fifteen men. Their meeting place was in Philalethian Hall or in various members, rooms. A Missouri Beta of Phi Delta Theta was the first fraternity to establish itself in its own home, which it did in 1906, at the old VVatson property on Ninth and Court streets. In 1909 the chapter moved its home to the Baker property opposite Synodical College. For a short time in 1911 the chapter had rooms in the Palace Hotel. Later in the same year the chapter moved into the Jackson house, back of Pratt 's Theater. In the fall of 1913 Missouri Beta again took the lead among the fraternities by buying the present home at 801 Nichols street. Bev. Mr. Morrison, one of the founders of Phi Delta Theta, who de- signed the pin and wrote the Bond of Phi Delta Theta, whose birthday is celebrated by the entire fraternity as Alumni Day, was for many years actively connected with Westmiiistei' College. Since the installation of tl1e chapter in IVestminster College, 343 men have been initiated into Phi Delta Theta, among whom are two presi- dents of the fraternity at large, C. F. Lamkin, '99, and E. C. Hender- son, '93. one hundred twenty-six , ,ALA .H 74, ,. YAY, 1 B AAAA ,...

The small dog scented some- thing that was foreign to his smelling apparatus and started on the chase. In a ramshackle, dilapidated, rundown, imagnifieent, preten- tious, and grand, frame building, that was formerly used for the storing of lime, the small dog found VVatson's shoes. After the small boy had revived the small dog, they, with the King of England, investigated further and found all the interesting bits listed below. It will be impossible, did space and patience permit, to tell of all the things un- covered, we give you only a partial list.

The recent practise that has sprung up in the Student Body should be stopped. It is a mark of disrespect to pull Dr. Gage's beard. Any Professor has the right to expect the students to accord him a certain amount of respect. It was bad enough when some smart egg put the beans in Professor Heath's soup at the last Dorm Banquet, but when the students get so low they pull the beard of the Professor of Philosophy it is time for a halt to be called. Dr. Gage treats it as a big joke, of course, and to all outward appearances he does not seem to mind. Some bodily injury might result from the newest practise. Just suppose you jerked his beard and one of his shoes Hew off, think of the embarrassment that would result. There he would stand, half undressed and forty miles from land or water jumping from branch to branch. Would you want to be in this ppsition? Give these suggestions more than a passing thought, ponder them we l. fED1TOR's NOTE: It is thought that the Fortnightly was a student publication, some what of a newspaper. Published once or twice a year, it contained jokes, cuts, cigarette advertising, Kuhnls notes, and one or two advertisements.

Tonight me and my partner met and defeated the debate team from the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. We flipped nickels to see what question we would debate on and I won, and suggested that the question be on the World Court. I forget now which side we did take but anyway we won it. Several funny things happened during the progress of the session, the funniest being when I tweeked the nose of a Penn. debater, the son-of-a-gun. Another funny thing happened when D1'. McPheeters sat down on Dr. Reeves' other hat. A fair-sized audience was on tap considering that there were six marriages in the town that night, a dog fight, and a meeting at the Klavern. The judges were from the middle west and were: Governor McCrary, of Indiana, the fireman, Kenny Wood, his date, and another blonde. Westminster's phenomenal success in debating is contributed to three factors: First, her ability to keep Kroggel from dating, second, Dr. Reeves' necktiesg third, the adoption of the new slogan: Throw that line. -ju S V ,-P 'lx 3 .A it A 8 'I izi .- is This selection is taken from the niinute book of the lllaeulty Club May, after dark.

V i Z I r It was one of those fresh, balmy, nights which furnish an ideal atmosphere for a murder or for a fox hunt. Two Westminster lads were sitting on the bridge above the C. and A. tracks talking of this and that and some other girls. After the date line had passed and Stuart was able to ascertain who had a date with his weenie, McKnelly came along. McKnelly suggested that they sing, but then he isn't very bright when all is said. Later, by the clock, Keller and Simons put in, Keller to borrow a match and Simons to gather a bouquet of sweet peas. McKnelly left at this juncture, having remembered that Jones wanted to play with him at 9:30. The party now included Stuart, Keller, Goodwin, and Simons, and one whose name was not learned. The people in the house at the north end of the bridge requested a song, and to this end the quartet bent. Stuart and Keller carried the whisky tenor, Simons and Goodwin carried the air, and the unknown person carried the gun in the Hrst group of songs which included: 'Send Me a Picture of Berlin'g and 'Cohen Owes me Thirty Dollars' The lads all being college students and knowing 'silence gives consent' thought their efforts were well received. But this is a proof that it is folly to think, for in this case a thought caused no end of embar- rassment, and caused several people's feelings to be wounded. The second group of songs brought results in the flash of an eye. The quartet had barely started the agony when the unknown person fired into their midst and Goodwin's shoe. With the crack of the gun, Keller became a joint holder of the 100-yard dash mark set up by Charles Paddock, and the nightwatchman was declared winner of the shot put. At the doctor's office later in the night the shots were removed and the wounds bathed with alcohol. Each of the victims, it was learned at this time, had been shot in the mouth. Sigle, was present and held Stuart's hand while the shots were being removed from Goodwin's foot. None of the injuries proved serious and only two of the youths had to eat their meals from a shelf longer than two days. The case was settled out of court by allowing Stuart and Simons to have use of the William Woods swimming pool at all hours, and by allowing Goodwin and Keller to name the May Queen for next year. He shot a shot into the air, It fell on four, and you know where, And long, long, after in Simon's liver, They found the shot in the Stinson river. It 1 K i Nr 2 U lfv-if I . 4'X...fl4l C L 9 7 fl.

If A - 5J1'l', Fires broke out in a downtown confectionery during the year, if we would believe one of the ancient manuscripts. 0726 Early in the morning, about 10:00 o'clock, after Frost had been kicked out of the Greek's for the sixth time, the building housing the Busy Bee and Wil- cox's studio caught on fire. The fire started from a blaze according to Chief Sigle and was only extinguished after water had been applied to the ailing parts. The Studio of Wilcox suHered the most in the coniiagration but one could not have guessed it had he looked at John's face that morning. All the cuts and art work for the 1924 Blue Jay were,,destroyed in the blaze as were some of of the likenesses from William Woods, and Weir's picture.

The blaze came at a very inopportune time on account of the Fulton Fire Department being out of town that morning. The Dorm turned out en masse to lend their assistance but most of them thought that it was a clothing store. McClure, however, distinguished himself by steal- ing three packages of mints, a Hfty foot section of fire hose, and Bill's fiddle. I .Bur-'Y' XJR ' 6 lf- fs ,svw A Q, frdillfg ' 5 ah QQ dlrpii 4 ka, The Busy Bee was soon repaired and several additions were noticed in the new place of business, but let the old manuscripts tell of that. In addition to the palms at the renovated Busy Bee one may notice several little pianos posted in conspicuous places. The pianos are made of steel and have a small opening on one end where the uninstructed may insert nickels to hear the electric piano play. On opening day, the piano was kept in constant action, from eight in the morning until twelve at night. The proprietors mar- velled at this and still more did they marvel when the receipt box was opened the next morning and 30c was found therein. It was thought that the existing evil was the fault of the orchestra leader, Frost. Art Lynes was called into consultation to help remove the red-haired musician. James Randolph Brown was called to the position, at a salary he was to name. Brown has been getting results from his Greek Orchestra and under his careful guidance the troupe has met with success. Brown follows a rather unique plan in his direction of the orchestra. He plays the piano with a stave or a piece of wire and keeps tab on the number of times the stave produces results. Monk as he is fondly called, has a technique all his own and his touch and interpretation are those of a master. Brown graduates this year from Westminster and his loss to the orchestra will be keenly felt. 0 :asp , W. . ' ' Q 1' V. -3 Z K -ffi' . if .1 ' .

Montgomery, later in the day, was interviewed by a reporter from the Globe-Democrat, who was here for the occasion, and Montgomery's picture appeared the next Sunday in the Pic- ture Section surrounded by derby, cane, and the Beta house. Weir, Shelby, Schrader, and Beare, wore theirs on the Glee Club trip, and Edmonds also had two dates. As a result of their appearance in the derbies, Hockemeyer, Newbolt, and Matthews have been offered jobs with the American Hat Company, to sell caps. Brown proved to the world that he was a Senior when he came out with his, but Dr. Gage was not in town that day having gone fishing the night before. fi ln-to Ole .09 5 1 In those days there inust have been several inen on the canlpus uho could sing or who could at least try the noble art. XVC cite you tht following manuscript: The evening of April 8, twenty-five people, plus baggage, plus Weir's cane, plus the smile of Giesecke departed on the Glee Club trip. The first stop was Mexico where Watson had his mustache trimmed. Moberly was penalized next and at this stop Weir joined in the first fox hunt of the trip, and Burtis left his other hat. Brookfield found the club in a sleepy mood and Sexton with a headache. To Carrollton next where Simons chased the elusive fox, and Burtis left his shoes. Then to Kansas City where Sweazey bought the Union Station, and where Shelby locked Beare out. Here too, Boyd had a date and a Cadillac, and Ann had a date with a sheik for sure. On to Cottey College where Skeezix got a crush on the Dean of Women and the shortcake, and where Bell filled Beare's shoes for a moment. Johns and Shelby went in ahead of the club to Joplin and to get Keller a date. In Joplin, Hopke and Simons looked for two days without finding the town pump. In Webb City each and every man had a drink from Sexton's milk bottle, and Edmonds had his other date. Linneman went strong in Joplin and Webb City, and he and Nesbit bought an automobile while there. At Boonville the club was met by Clay and the Reformatory band. The band later admitted they made a mistake in train time and that they were supposed to meet a train load of prisoners instead of the Glee Club. At Sedalia, Mrs. Henderson furnished the excitement which unfortunately was missed by several members of the club. Koewing left the club here to chaperone Dr. Reeves into Kansas City. Elsea had a car waiting for him at Sedalia and then didn't get a date. Blair and Giesecke made the club stop on its way home by way of Jefferson City. Schrader joined the club again here in brown socks. The organ recital was especially well received by Jack's and Henley's Q V -7- B-:Ffa ills -ally' A one hundred thirty-four l x Q , ..,.iQ.- WX ' i ' , 4,04 W' A WT' Ain - M I W' '- K .1',gj'j ww 7.. ,, ,, X' N, . if Wy VVVVV .

By devious and unknown way the club gradually slipped into Fulton by Monday evening, the twenty-first of April. They later favored the people of Fulton by singing their two hymns at the church services of the four Court street churches. A iVe see that the NVestn1inster boys tried for humor: As the dancer took his fair partner down to supper, she seemed to hypnotize the waiter told to serve them, for he seemed incapable of taking his eyes from her. At last the dancer could stand it no longer. I say, my man, he observed, what makes you stare so rudely at this lady ? It ain't rudeness sir, believe me, it ain't, returned the waiter. It's just plain admiration. This is the Hfth time she's been down to dinner tonight. PK if Pk Customer: I want a couple of pillow-cases. Clerk: What size?
