While in college he was one of the most active Wittenbergers that ever attended the college. As a civilian he was a thorough gentleman, as a soldier he was more than that. He was one of the first Ohio men to lay down his life, and the memory of his valor as is told on later pages will never be forgotten. For his valor he received the Distinguished Service Cross, which is the highest honor our government can bestow. filer J ,T ft J il] lliJUl 3 1$ 8TBT ms? ®1|? Itittgnhgrggr 1919 Lieutenant Walter H. Weaver X ALTER H. WEAVER was born December 28, 1882, in Spring- field, Ohio. He graduated from Wittenberg Academy in 1900 and entered college in the fall of the same year, afterward taking special work in Chemistry. He was a member of the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity and was interested in college athletics, although not actively so. On leaving college he became identified with the Engineering De- partment of the City of Springfield, and the Central Contract and Finance Company as civil engineer for special work as well as carrying on private practice during 1916, and up to September, 1917, when he went to Wilbur Wright Aviation Field as civil engineer in charge of work on the flying field. Having been previously rejected for military service through physical disability Mr. Weaver made application for overseas service with the American Red Cross, in April, 1918, and sailed with that organization on June 11th. In Paris on July 9th he received commis- sion of First Lieutenant. Lieutenant Weaver was attached to the 27th Division under Major General O’Ryan as Red Cross representative, when this division played such an important part in breaking through the Hindenburg line with terrible loss. He was gassed and taken with a heavy cold, which resulted in pneumonia. He died in a hospital at Boulogne sur- Mer, October 29th, 1918. jcvcn 1 a i a ® If p W i 11 p tt b p r g p r 1319 Ensign Wheldon Arbogast r”IE was graduated from Springfield High School in 1914, went x xtwo years to Wittenberg, and it was during his Sophomore year that he enlisted in the Naval Reserves, February 10, 1918. He was called into service one month later, March 10, 1918. He received a six weeks training at Cleveland, then was transferred to an ore boat, which ran between Gary, Indiana, and Duluth, Minnesota, and here received six more weeks of training. At the end of that time a final examination was given and those receiv- ing a high per cent were sent to the officers’ training school at Pelham Bay, New York. Young Arbogast was among those for- tunate enough to pass the examination, and thus was received at Pelham Bay. During his training here of eight most strenu- ous weeks, he won a great many friends by his amiable dispo- sition. At the end of that time, those having passed the final examination were given commissions. Wheldon received his commission as “Ensign” on August 10, 1918. He received a fur- lough of ten days and upon his return to New York was perma- nently assigned to duty on the U. S. S. Herman Trasch, a cargo carrier, on September 22, 1918. They had been out about four days when the accident occurred. The vessel collided at night with the American tank steamship George G. Henry, about one hundred and fifty miles southeast of the Nova Scotian coast, and went down in seven minutes. She carried a crew of thirteen officers and seventy-six men, and only forty-one were saved. Wheldon was among those lost at sea Abrogast was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity. nine i g i g St 1) t W tlt?ttb?rg r 1313 Lieutenant Neal I). Adelsberger I IEUT. NEAL D. ADELSBERGER met his death August 8, 1918, in an aeroplane accident at Taliaferro Feld, Hicks, Texas. He was born in Springfield, Ohio, December 18, 1895. In June, 1914, he graduated from the Springfield High School. In his Junior year he was appointed editor of “The Herald,’' a bi-weekly school paper. Already he had begun to display marked literary ability, as was shown by his receiving, in his Senior year, fifty dollars as first prize in his district and second prize in the state, in an essay contest celebrating the One Hundredth Anniversary of the great victory of Admiral Perry over the British; more than one thousand essays were entered in this contest. In September, 1914, Lieut. Adelspcrger entered Wittenberg College, from which institution he was awarded his diploma with the class of 1918, although he had en- listed in the service of his country in December of his Senior year. In his Junior year he was Wittenberg’s correspondent for the “Daily News,” also for “The Columbus Citizen.” He made use of his unusual literary talent, first as associate editor, and later as editor-in-chief of his college paper, “The Torch,” and also as assistant editor of the annual “Wittenberger.” Lieut. Adelsperger likewise possessed great musical and artistic gifts, the former of which were seen in his connection, for three years, with the Wittenberg Glee Club. At the time of his enlistment in December, 1917, he was president of his class, and also president of Ohio Beta Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi. Wishing to do his part in the battle against the Huns, Lieut Adelsperger enlisted in December, 1917, although it was with difficulty that he was able to get in the flying squadron. He went to Cincinnati, Ohio, where two operations were performed, and he was accepted in that branch of the fighting forces of the United States. In Feb- ruary, 1918, he entered the ground school at the University of Illinois, where he re- mained two months. There, in a class of eighty-five, he and a fellow-student ranked first in the aeroplane and wireless examinations. He was then transferred to a concentration camp at Dallas, Texas, and while there was appointed Supply Sergeant. On April 8th, he was moved to Taliaferro Field, Hicks, Texas, where he received his commission as Second Lieutenant on August 3, 1918, just five days prior to his death. As a cadet he had made a good record, having never had the slightest accident with his plane. Lieut. Adelsporgcr’s untimely death came as a distinct shock to his many friends. He was a conscientious student, above all manly and fearless, yet, unusually gentle and reverent, and his life was indeed a worthy sacrifice for his country, and the cause for which he stood. He was a Mason, member of St. Andrew’s Lodge No. 619, F. A. M.; also a mem- ber of High Street Methodist Episcopal church, from which place the funeral was held. A military carriage, drawn by four black horses, conveyed the body of Lieut. Adelspcrger to its last resting place. A beautiful tribute was paid the hero by a squadron of aeroplanes from Wilbur Wright Field, which hovered overhead, with the aviators scattering flowers on the flag draped casket as the funeral procession wended its way to Ferncliff cemetery, with muffled drums and every military solemnity the body of Lieut Adelsperger was laid to rest. Taps were sounded at the grave, and a last salute from the rifles of a firing squadron from Wilbur Wright Field, rang out as the casket was lowered into the grave. cfcv n 1319 Stanley G. Gaver TANLEY G. GAVER was graduated from Springfield High School in 1909, and from Wittenberg College in 1913. He later attended the University of Pennsylvania for architectural work. As a student and workman he was conscientious, sincere, modest, studious and loyal to the core. He later taught mechani- cal drawing in Wittenberg College and for two years was instruc- tor in architectural drafting in the Y. M. C. A. night school. As a teacher he possessed a winning personality which drew men to himself. Later he answered the call to service and was con- nected with Battery G, 324th Regiment, Heavy Field Artillery, which work he took up with vigor and enthusiasm. His knowl- edge of mathematics made him a valuable man in artillery work. On Monday afternoon, January 7th, just as the winter’s day was merging into twilight, the spirit left the body and he entered the life triumphant, due to an attack of pneumonia. The body was escorted from Camp Sherman to Chillicothe by the regimental band and military escort of Battery C. “The son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood red banner streams afar, Who follows in his train.” thirteen 1919 $1)? Mitteuberger 1919 Paul Knight AU.L KNIGHT was a member of class 1915. He was born in Casstown, Ohio, and resided there until he was nine years old when his parents died. He was reared by his cousin, Mrs. L. E. Coppock, of Tippecanoe City, Ohio, and claimed this as his home until his death. He enlisted in Officers’ Training School at Fort Benjamin Harrison in September, 1918. Previous to his enlistment he was con- nected with a government concern of Troy in the manu- facturing of aeroplane parts. After three months of faith- ful service, and having but one week longer to serve for his commission, he was given his honorable discharge because of sickness, and died soon afterward. His death occurred October 23. 1918. He was a member of the class of 1915, and was most highly esteemed by his multitude of friends. He was a member of Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity. fifteen B t B I INI?!

Upon graduation from High School in 1914, he taught school in Clark County for two years, and in the fall of 1917 entered Wittenberg College. In December of 1917 he dropped his studies in order that he might enter the service of his country. He enlisted in the navy on December 8, 1917 ,and on Decem- ber 14th, left for the Great Lakes Naval Training Station to take up his duties as an apprentice seaman. Here he worked faith- fully in order that he might aid in the crushing of the arch enemy of civilization. On the evening of February 7th while on duty he was stricken with angina pectoris and died within a few minutes. He was buried at Lawrenceville on Feb. 12, 1918, with military honors. He took an active part in church and Sunday school work and was loved and highly respected by all who knew him. While connected with military service he belonged to Co. K, 4th Regiment, Camp Perry, Great Lakes, 111. seventeen 101B ® kj z Hitt nb rg r 1010 Captain Harry A. Seabohm r i ARKY A. SEEBOHM was born at Vandalia, Ohio, March 1, A1893. He was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Seebohm. The early part of his life he spent in a country school near Van- dalia. Later he attended the Butler Township High School, graduating from there in 1911. The following fall he entered Wittenberg College. Springfield, Ohio, where he spent three years. While in school he enlisted in the Springfield militia in which he took an active interest. After the close of his third year in college he received his honorable discharge from the militia and on July 14, 1914, he enlisted in the regular army at Columbus, Ohio. He was in the barracks for several weeks when he was assigned to Co. B, 30th Infantry, and was transferred to Presidio of San Francisco, Calif., where they were in camp until December 23, 1915, when they left for New York by boat, spend- ing Christmas on the Panama Canal, being the first company of soldiers to pass through the canal. Upon the arrival at New York they were stationed at Plattsburg until the Mexican trou- ble, when they were transferred to Camp Eagle Pass, Texas, where he remained until after the war with Mexico. He was then transferred to Camp Stanley, Texas, where he received his commission as First Lieutenant, and was assigned as instructor in a training camp. In September, 1917. he was promoted to a Captaincy in the regular army. Later at his third training camp he was killed while examining an artillery shell which exploded February 13, 1918, causing his death nine days later, February 22, 1918, at Camp Stanley, Texas. '.ii lain (E 1? t Witt t n lu nj ? r 1310 Dow W. Hayner y UTHENTIC information as to his death is not available. On October 29, 1918, he was re- ported severely wounded in action. Red Cross re- ports say that he, with a friend, were carrying a message through the lines when a high explosive shell burst near, killing Hayner, and his friend de- livered the message. The last official report says he was killed, time and place unknown. At the time of his death he was connected with Company D, 61st Infantry. He attended Wittenberg Col- lege 1916-17, and was a member of the dormitory group. t� cnl )-onc 1 01 S Oilj? litt nb rg r mia Mrs. W. C. Hewitt I HIS noble woman was the one who gave her A life while nursing patients of the Wittenberg S. A. T. C. during the influenza epidemic. When the plague broke out in Springfield she was one of the first to volunteer to relieve the patients in our temporary hospital at Wittenberg, and her kind and loving attentions were always in evidence wherever she happened to be. The Wittenberg company attended the funeral service in a body as a token of their sympathy and as taps were sounded the soul of this dear woman passed to its reward. tventy-thrcc 1913 1013 51 if t___11 i 11 it It r r y e • • , r , nf«he I etter Sent to the Parents of Sergeant E.

C where he was made Sergeant. From then until his death he was Sergt. Swingle. He held the respect of his comrades so well that they addressed him by his rank gladly. After becoming Sergeant we always were in the same platoon, so were thrown together quite often. After coming to France we were separated about February 15th, and I did not see Sergeant until about March 25th. On the night of March 27th Co. B went into the trenches. We arrived there between 10:00 and 11:00 p. m. We worked fixing the trenches and patroling for quite a while. About 4:00 a. m. our First Sergeant, Clifford Brundage, came along and told us that Sergt. Swingle was missing. “Dick” had taken out a patrol of 15 or 20 men during the night and in some manner—I have never been able to learn just how it happened but—he was wounded in a skirmish and fell. His comrades lost him in the dark and not being able to locate him again came back and reported him missing. They thot he was captured by the Huns. We received no more word from “Dick” until about 7:00 a. m. While working near the left of our lines we saw Capt. Harris scanning “No Man’s Land” with a field glass. Suddenly he discovered “Dick” lying out near the German lines. He could see with the glass that “Dick” was trying to crawl and knew from his action that he was wounded. Soon Sergt. Brundage came to where Frank Goldcamp and I were working with some other men and said, “We have spotted Sergt. Swingle out about 50 yards from the German trenches and want two big huskies «.«♦HI,11 i ',ni in‘ Goldcamp and I were picked from among those that vol- e,la Were 00r,)°n the way out lt seemed to me to be about Th™.5,ck was ,yin£- We could just see him. guard in r««J thU tj1 n eS- u?nt out part tlle way w th us to act as a gum ci m case the Huns might try to capture us. riflemenCsko si alled for us to keep down low.

We would draw him toward us then slide back- wards and pull again. His wounds had bled a great deal and were still bleeding. Goldcamp kept talking and encouraging him. It pained him to have us move him, but he told us to keep pulling, he would stand the pain. My tongue seemed glued to the roof of my mouth, I could not say a word to him. We had moved “Dick” about 25 or 30 feet and X thot we were going to get him in, but suddenly a snipper’s bullet came singing over our heads. Then “Dick” gave a lurch and said, “Oh, it is all over now. You boys should never have come after me.” He had been hit again but I don’t know where. Goldcamp said, “Stick to it a little longer, Sergeant, we will soon have you in.” Just then a bullet pierced Goldcamp’s chest and struck me in the right side. Goldcamp died almost instantly and I sort of doubled up and began rolling out of range of the bullets. I soon stopped and played “possum.” The snipper soon stopped firing. Suppose he thot we were all dead. Then “Dick” called to Goldcamp but received no answer. Then I called down to the three men with rifles and told them what had happened. They said they would come out and get us that night. “Dick” asked me what they said. When I told him he seemed to give up and said, “They may as well not come at all then, I’ll be frozen.” It was quite a cold day and I was soon chilled thru myself. He never spoke to me again that I remember of, but I could see him breathe. He had turned his face away from me and lay with his head resting on his arms as if sleeping. After lying there awhile trying to hide from the Germans X began to feel that I could not stay there all day. I felt that I should try to do something, but I knew that I could not move “Dick” myself. In fact I did not know whether I could use my own legs or not, but it seemed as if my Guardian Angel told me I should get away if I could. So I decided to try. So suddenly X jumped up and started toward our lines as fast as I could. The Huns must not have seen me going as they did not fire at me anyway. Soon I was on my way to this hospital where I have recovered very rapidly considering the nature of my wounds. While I was coming in I passed an English Lieutenant going out to examine us. They said he went on out and examined “Dick” and Gold- camp. He said they were both dead. My brother came out to meet me as I was coming in and helped me to get back to our lines. He was in the trenches the following eight days. He told me on a visit here that “Dick” and Goldcamp were never buried as far as he knew. I heard that our trenches were somewhere between Villers-Bretonneux and Hamel. I received the Military Medal from the British government and was so glad to hear of “Dick” and Goldcamp getting the D. S. C. from Uncle Sam. I received a letter from Mr. Paul B. Grove, R. F. D. No. 5, Newark, Ohio, asking about Dick’s death. I thot perhaps you people would like to know the details of your son’s death and happening to secure your address recently, decided to tell you all about it as clearly as I could. I.f any points are not clear I will gladly explain them or answer any questions the best I know. Sincerely, Wagoner Carl G. Duncan, No. 9 Gen. Hosp., (Lakeside Unit, U. S. A.) A. E. F.

The pioneers did not rest with founding a college on paper, for ac- cording to their minutes, a subscription of one thousand dollars was made. The next consideration was that of a location. Canton and Wooster were con- sidered, the latter being chosen. A committee was appointed to secure a state charter. At another time it was decided to begin the erection of a suitable building, 40x60 and three stories high. Instructors were considered and selected. Dr. Ezra Keller was elected professor of the theological seminary and Rev. W. H. Smith was made principal of the classical school. On the eighteenth of February, 1845, the board of directors decided on Springfield as a permanent location of Wittenberg, and on March 11, 1845 the state legislature granted a second charter, the first not having been satisfactory. Seventeen acres of ground, the nucleus of the present campus, having been given for college purposes, the work of building a dormitory was begun. Dr. Keller notes in his diary under the date of April 3, 1845 the following: “Yesterday I aided in the sur- vey of a literary institution. It requires some faith to believe that in after years it will be an academic grove to which hundreds will rcsourt to drink at the pure foun- tains of knowledge and go forth into the world to do good and to bless mankind. The campus in the early days was a wilderness. Early students speak of their picnics while raking leaves and rubbish and cutting brush. The first picnic party that went from Wittenberg campus was on a summer day in ’46 or ’47 when a party of stu- dents were helping Dr. Keller in cleaning the campus. At noon they purchased the desired cheese and crackers and ginger cakes. They went to the spring a little inside the present entrance to Ferncliflf cemetery, which then was a wild and almost impene- trable forest. The dormitory has been called “The Cradle of Wittenberg and rightly son, for it is the original Wittenberg. It was here that the college first had a home. In this building were the college students, classes, chapel exercises, and literary meetings. The east wing of the building was erected under the direction of Dr. Keller, the first president. Dr. Sprecher, the next president, took up the work of building and in 1851 completed the main building and the west wing. This building has changed with the history of the school. In the early days the only means of heat was individual stoves. Graduates of fifty years ago tell us of the “good old days when every student operated his own heating plant. They speak of the joy of building a fire in the morning, of going outside and coaxing an old wooden pump to bring water, of carrying coal and wood up several flights of stairs and similar exercises. There was a tradition that every time a stove got red hot it should fall over. If a man owned one that did not he was the object of envy and plots to reduce him to the common level were laid. forty-one 131 Hecitation Hall—1890 forty. o bit S3 rtP.B- is$ imn Sffrg Wttt nh ngn laia The Campus—Continued With the introduction of steam heat and water the modern era of the dormitory began. Then it was that the old grads feared that Wittenberg would degenerate ami become an institution for the feeble in mind and body. However, between the watch- fulness of proctors and the occasional rolling of cannon balls, bricks and the like up and down the halls and stairways, water duels, room stackings and initiations the threatened degeneration of its inhabitants did not occur. Each year has left its mark on the old dorm. Its hacked walls and scarred floors bore testimony that during the past sixty-five years “boys had been bovs.’ According to legendary accounts, dorm life in those days was far from its present state of peace and quiet, little as there may be of that now. In the summer of 1916 through the generosity of the Myers families of Ashland, Ohio, the building was completely remodeled and modernized throughout the interior. On the outside it was repainted and the front portico completed by the raising of the roof and the placing of the long-heralded pillars. It has been changed into thoroly comfortable and very attractive home for college men. The building was rededicated in November, 1916, and the “Old Dorm” formally became “Myers Hall.” It stands at the top of the college hill, an imposing and historical structure, on the highest and most prominent site in Springfield. It rears its five stories to the sky as a picturesque monument to those early founders of the institution and to the memory of the Wittenberg of by-gone days. The old dorm has resisted the shocks and ravages of almost seventy-five years of student life and revelry—not the tamest or most placid thing in the world. As the new Myers Hall, to all appearances it stands ready to shelter the sons-to-be of Wittenberg for a century to come. The next building to make it appearance on the campus was Recitation Hall. After assuming the president’s chair in June, 1882, Rev. S. A. Ort’s first task was the raising of the $60,000 necessary to the erection of the new Recitation Hall. Due to the ear- nestness with which he assumed this task the amount was raised in six months. On the first of February, 1883, the first stake was driven, and on the 24th of May the same year, the corner stone was laid. This was a day of rejoicing for the friends of the college. There were addresses by the illustrious sons of the school and then Dr. Sprecher laid the stone of the dew building, the second on the campus. Three years later at the commencement exercises this building was formally dedicated, the address being delivered by Dr. J. B. Helwig. Following the completion of this building the library and museum were located in prepared rooms. Later the literary societies found their present location, the rooms being decorated and furnished in the spring of ’87. In this building is also the chapel, scene of the daily gathering of students, debates, oratorical contests, and of every con- ceivable kind of meeting, entertainment or service. One must not forget to mention that mythical place of which students have heard from catalogue and instructors, the museum. To those who are privileged to enter it is indeed a wonderful revelation and a constant source of interest. Wherever we turn we see the traces of departed classes. Of some of these we are ashamed, for the scrawled and carved names certainly do not add to the beauty of the walls. Of others we are proud, being the useful and ornamental memorials left by departing classes, college and academy. The chapel and many of the recitation rooms have been redecorated and finely furnished by recent classes. Recitation Hall has seen many years of college classes. Its old walls are heavy with the accumulation of knowledge. May it shelter the student and the bluffer, the conscientious and the indifferent impartially for years to come. Following the erection of Recitation Hall the college library received a Permanent location. For many years the books had been kept in relatively inaccessible places and were available only on certain days of the week. forty-three una The Campus—Continued .. | nmu of hooks had been collected since the early days Quite a considerable attempt to establish a college library.

Mr. Zimmerman took an active interest in the gift and it is due largely to him that we now have a building for library ’,Ur'The bu Innets situated on one of the knolls of the camp and commands a view not alone of the entire campus, but also of the city. It is built of grey limestone and trimmed in red sandstone; is small, rectangular and one story in height. The reading room is well lighted with windows to the north, south and east. At present the library contains more than 22,500 volumes and more than 100 periodicals are taken. Under the careful and efficient management of Miss Grace Prince, the librarian, the students have a wonderful opportunity for study and refer- ence without leaving the campus. Many references are given by the professors con- cerning which more can be found in the college library than in the city. Our library is for the college students and is selected with a view to their needs. The men of the college were not to be the only favored students, for not many years after the building of the dorm the ladies were provided with a home. Femcliff Hall, the home of the co-eds was opened in the autumn of 1888. In the hands of the charter members of the hall was left the important matter of deciding what name should be given to their new home. After an animated discussion it was unanimously decided that the building should be called “Fcrncliffo Hall.” The rules at the hall in those early days were many and various. The “do’s” and •‘dont’s’’ which were designed to keep the young ladies in the proper paths of dignity were of wide-spread fame. Even the young men were filled with grave apprehensions and fears altho they were true to the type of college men. And, so it is said, many were the attempted evasions, successful and detected, in those early days. rhe original structure was a wooden building and little resembled the present structure. It was the college home for the girls of Wittenberg for a period of more than 25 years. After a number of gifts had been made to the college in the interests of co-education the hall was remodeled. In the fall of 1914 the present structure was completed. It is one of the most modem and best appearing buildings on the campus. It has been filled to capacity in former years and has really become inadequate to the co-educational demands of the college. Femcliff Hall is the scene of practically all of the all-college affairs and social i cnts. It is also the scene of many other interesting events throughout the year, t is one o t e rst places to which the incoming male Freshman is introduced, and generally where not a few of the greenest of them give proof of the Darwinian theory. r among t e nocturnal events at the hall are those frequent occasions when, Here we sit and let the sounds of music Rhuearts,: soft stillness and the night ...

The first building on this campus was destroyed by fire in 1900 In 1901 Keller Hall, named in honor of the founder of the school, was built. For a time it served as both dormitory and recitation hall for the seminary students. It soon became inadequate for this and was enlarged. This was but a temporary measure, fol- lowed in 1915, by the erection of a recitation hall, leaving Keller Hall for dormitory purposes exclusively. When the new building was presented to the seminary students a long-felt need was filled. Thru the timely gifts of Dr. Ilamma and wife, Rev. Charles Stroud and Mrs. Elizabeth Harter this completion of equipment was made possible. Hamma Hall, named in honor of the Rev. Michael Wolfe Ilamma, was dedicated November 11, 1915. A large gathering of representative men was present at this cere- mony which was one of joy and triumph. The dedicatory address was delivered by Professor D. H. Bauslin, dean of the seminary. In this building are incorporated the offices and recitation rooms of the school. It also contains an art room where are to be found many beautiful and valuable paint- ings, rare texts, interesting and instructive relics gathered by travelers and mission- aries, all of which were contributed by friends of the school. A beautiful chapel for the use not alone of seminary students, but also for the entire college, is the pride of all students and professors. Partially hidden from the sight of the casual observer by library hill is a small concrete building which is valuable to the comfort of many students, the heating plant. A portion of the estate of the late Dr. Hamma being reserved for building purposes, the college authorities decided that with this sum and assistance from the college coffers they would erect a heating plant. As a result of this action in 1914 Wittenberg was presented with a heating unit for seminary hill. The library and the two seminary buildings are served by this plant. This battery of boilers has combatted effectively the onslaughts of winter for several seasons and has been an efficient aid in the preservation of uncooled ar or am undiminished religious fervor in the edifices which grace the top of ‘piety ti . From a plot of seventeen acres the campus has increased to one of about forty- five, the most of which is still wooded. New buildings have appeared from time to time till now in size and number of buildings the campus shows the results of the dreams and labors of those who have gone before. The college entrance, the sundial, and the expanse of walks which have added muc t o e ) classes of the campus have been the memorial gifts to the college from graduating classes within the last ten years. , .. ; = In natural landscape and architectural arrangement th« Wittenberg campus one of the n ast beautiful in the state. for y-seven 1 -11 1m' W i t t r n b r r nr r 1913 fertf-nint Myers Hall FcmcKff Hall ISIS (TUtp ma Entrance in Winter fins-fit Zimmerman Library Keller Hall i g i g ® h ?

W itt nb rg r iHia 1918 Commencement I HE Sixty-eighth Annual Commencement of Wittenberg College was opened Sun- day evening, June 2, with the baccalaureate service at the first Lutheran Church. Rev. E. W. Simon preached the baccalaureate sermon. A large congregation of friends and relatives of the graduates was gathered to witness the initial ceremony of com- mencement week. The exercises were resumed Monday morning with the presentation of the senior gift to the college. The class deviated somewhat from the usual custom by presenting a $100 Liberty Bond. .Miss Bernice Kiefer presented the gift with a few appropriate and fitting remarks. Following another custom the class planted an ivy at the Recita- tion Hall. The ivy was taken from the home of Dr. and Mrs. Schneider who were the honorary members of the class. The ivy oration was delivered by Maurice Obenauf and was replied to by Dr. Schneider. Somewhere on the campus the class then planted an oak. Alas for the prophecies of the oak orator, Mathew Wagle, they were not fulfilled and the oak after a few strug- gles gave up the ghost. At 7 o’clock in the evening the class gathered around a great bon fire in front of Myers Hall for the final reading of the class minutes by Velma Laughbaum, the class secretary. After the official history of the class had been reviewed the minute book was reverently laid on the fire. The ceremony of passing the loving cup was con- ducted by Miss Laughbaum and James Griffin, president, of the Sophomore class. All listened with interest to the couplet toasts as each member took a sip from the friend- ship cup. Tuesday morning exercises were opened by a procession of the class. Miss Wini- fred Holton presented the class history in a very clever manner. Miss Mary Conway then gave the class oration, her subject being “Conversation. Miss Frazer in her president’s address was well received by the class and friends. The mantel oration was given by Miss Vera Steinman and the response for the class of 191'.� by Miss Dorothy Smith. The last will and testament was given in an unique manner by Earl Crist. Each member of the class received appropriate gifts. The ceremonies ended by the singing of the national anthem. The event of the evening was the reception for the members of the graduating class given by Dr. Heckert. Many friends and alumni were present. The final events of the commencement took place on Wednesday morning. At 9 o’clock the academic procession consisting of alumni, faculty, college board and class marched up the hill to Myers Hall. There taps were sounded in memory of those who preceding this class have gone to their reward. The first speaker of the morning was Charles Cassell, valedictorion of the class. Following, The Hon. James M. Cox, Governor of Ohio, delivered the commencement address. After this address Dr. Heckert conferred the degrees on the members of the graduating class. The commencement exercises were closed with the benediction. sixly-one Degrees Conferred 1918 Bachelor of Arts Neal D. Adelsberger Ruth Arnold Earnest F. Berger Charles W. Cassel Ella B.

Shatzcr IN the fall of 1915 the present Senior class met in chapel to organize. x Stanley Dorst was selected for shepherd of the verdant lambs. The first event in the life of the Freshman class was the annual tug o’ war. Although the Sophomore treated us rather roughly the night before we turned the trick on them and gave them an opportunity to test the water in Snyder park. However, sad to relate, the next year the Freshmen gave us a wetting that was most thorough. The Freshman-Sophomore receptions were a success both years, both from the standpoint of those who were invited and those who were not, but who managed to get there. When we were Juniors we had no re- ception to attend uninvited, for more serious considerations occupied our attention. Many of our men enlisted in the country’s service and the girls did their part for Red Cross and allied activities. Our only event in the Junior year was the play, “Bachelor Hall.” which many declared to have been the best comedy presented for several years. Although an annual staff had been selected the latter part of the Sophomore year and all was in readiness for the production, we were forced to give up the attempt, because of the small class and high ex- penses. Some of our men have returned and we look forward to a most successful commencement. ilxty-threc OLIVE B. BALTZLY Tau Delta Theta; Omaha, Nebraska; Panhellenic Council; Y. W. C. A.

Wayne Warden. Treasurer Junior Class History JUNIORS all! Is it possible that this is our third year at old Wittenberg? Every- one remembers how cne hundred and forty-five strong, the freshman class of ’20 nlmrst filled the chapel cn the first day of our college life when Prexy started us in with one of his good talks. ‘Lots of pep” seemed to oe our motto and although there are not so many cf us now, we still maintain we have kept up to the standard of our good beginning. Cr. Andersen led us into the mysteries of college work with courses, schedules, requirements, etc., for which we were duly thankful. Freshmen usually are “green” they say, but we got along very nicely we think. Then very soon in our career was our worth proven for who doesn’t remember the grand raid of the night before and the “tug-of-war” the morning after. The Sopho- mores got their share cf water that morning for we pulled them through in fine shape. The Sophcmcres tried to g:t even too at our party afterward, but a few ties, electric lights and cats were all they could harm. We were a year older when we were Sopho- mores but none the weaker for we pulled the freshmen through and gave our class the honor of never going through the pond. This Sophomore year was a trying one too, for our fellow countries were in need, and war took a number of our class to do with them what it chose. The s: nr dark pall was on when we became Juniors. The girls were at a loss for all the beys were in the S. A. T. C. marching around at some one’s else orders and paying no attention to them. We are proud of our honor roll though and the Wit- tenberg service flag represents not a few Juniors. A happier time soon came for one by one the boys came back after the glad news of peace. They again donned their civilian clothes and things began to liven. One of the big things is the 1919 Wittenberger. We hope you will like it as well as our Junior Class Play and appreciate our efforts. Treat it kindly for it is a giant task and we have only done—our best. cv nt )-cighl 1918 ®1}£ 30 1111 u b t 1919 GERTRUDE L. WEALTH ALL Springfield, Ohio. GEORGE F.

The class of ’21, composed of ninety-one students, had ushered itself into the arena of college life. The radiance of our own importance, however, was soon absorbed by the greater radiance of dignified upper-classmen, and we soon humbly accepted the title of “Ye Green Freshmen.” The first meeting was held on September 24 to select a temporary president and to organize. Mr. Elmo Nissley was elected president. At this meeting a challenge for the annual tug o’ war, from the class of ’20 was read and accepted. The challenge specified the date of Sept. 26 for the tug o' war which, college tra- dition says, determines underclass supremacy. Handicapped by strangeness of fellow classmates, but, nevertheless, determined to defeat our enemies, we mobilized our forces the night of the 25th to give battle to our worthy opponents. The anticipation of a preceding battle never materialized, however, for by mysterious faints and sallies both forces alluded the other. The day of the bat- tle dawned bright and clear. The force of Freshmen marched en masse to class and early in the morning a Freshman squad succeeded in liberating our president, who had been made prisoner by the enemy. The tug of war was probably the best witnessed on the traditional battle ground. For five minutes neither side gained, then slowly but surelv the Sophomores won, and we went down to defeat in the mucky waters of Snider Park. Two weeks after our “ducking” we held our second meeting to mold the class into a formal organization. The class elected the following officers: President, John D. Kuhns; Vice-President, Paul Baylor; Secretary, Romaine Byers; Treasurer, Clifford Shawd; Sergeant-at-Arms, William Lange. The duration of term of office was for one year. From the beginning an interest was manifested by the class in athletics and other college activities. Our first triumph came when the Freshman football eleven defeated the varsity eleven. In Basketball the first place was conceded by all to the class of ’21. No class would give or accept a challenge and even the Varsity five refused to meet us. A Freshman baseball nine was not formed but inter-group games developed some fast Freshman material. The class placed ten men out of twenty-one on the college Glee Club and ended its first year glories by “copping the tennis championship. The first semester of our Sophomore year was without organization because of the Students Army Training Corps. However, we were represented by three letter men on the varsity football eleven. When the second semester began we found but fifty- one members present in our ranks. This loss of membership was without doubt due to the unsettled post-war conditions. Again we played a leading part in athletics. We placed three men on the varsity basketball squad, viz.. Kiley, Etter and Detrick, the latter making all-state forward. The class will probably be represented by Detrick, Etter, Kiley and Kreppert on the baseball nine; and fully expects to capture all ten- nis honors. On March 24, the classes held its first Sophomore meeting. At this time we elected the following class officers: President, Irwin Trittschuh; Vice-President, Frank 0. Taafel; Secretary. Mary Lohrman; Treasurer, Kenneth McCuaig. A color committee was chosen and the class selected White and Green for our colors. The White Rose was chosen as the class flower. Thus we have passed the first two years, and we look with pride upon the successes and honors that have been attained in our short existence. ninely-seven ii ;� • i uw 191 b ul ly g 1 i 11 n b g nj e r 1919 n!nel -nine 1918 at 1? t iitiEtibfrgrr Freshmen Adelberger, Ernest F., Dayton Aglc, Mary B., South Charleston Arnold, Dorothy, Tiro Babb, Henry, Woodlawn Ave. Baker, George L., Ward St. Barrett, Carey C., Nevada Baumgardner, Everett, Grand Ave. Becker, Ruth E., Cleveland Berger, Alice G., Salem Bingeman, Justina, Euclid Ave. Birch, James B., Fountain Ave. Brain, M.

C., so I was not able to organize myself until after the Kaiser had quit. Then with my 125 members I was named “WITTENBERG ’22” and was immediately chal- lenged to a tug-o’-war by my brother, “WITTENBERG ’21.” He has not yet set the date so my strength is still to be proved. As I, am still very young and green, I have not much history to tell, but I am sure that all of my members are giving their best to strengthen and develop me for future years. one hundred one ••i • 1918 Gl b[ t W i t1 r « b £ rjj r______ laia 3Aif pupum 3U0 fixer jafraaqitajjijg: ail® Btfit 131 a 1313 ® 1] t Witt gnhgrggr Franklin H.

As they timidly wandered through the halls in search of classrooms, they furnished an amusing spectacle to the older students; little did Wittenberg suspect that behind these fresh, green-looking faces lay a greatness now so apparent in us as Seniors. In our second year, we received a number of students from other high schools, a welcome addition to our roll. In that year, three of our mem- bers, Harry Heinzman, Oliver Nickolas, and Harold Unangst, heard their country’s call and entered the service. In the fall of 1918, we were again delighted by a new addition to our class, bringing our number to eighteen. The president, Robert Weber, has proved a well-chosen leader. A play was planned, but due to war conditions the idea was abandoned. We ruined the digestion of the stu- dent body by giving several candy sales, but we gained sufficient money to enable us to leave the college a pleasing gift. When we graduate in June, the Academy will probably break up. What will it do without us? But Wittenberg College bases its greatest hope on the fact that we will enter next fall for collegiate work. one hundred seven ClAS6 of’1919 lytu fVJpafUj JUO J nu J 1] 1U U ! n a II 2 aier L .— - •;••• - - - I 1013 S Ij t Ijjtt n b r 0 r r 1319 Faculty F.

Those above high school age, who hesitate to enter a secondary school where they must compete with those so much younger than themselves, feel at home in the Academy among others of their years. Many bright students who feel that a year saved is of vital im- portance to them, come to the Academy where, if they have the capacity, they are permitted to take five subjects a year. This enables them to complete their course in three instead of four years. Many educators forget that theory grows out of practice. Sweep- ing changes have been made in the method and content of the Academy courses; yet others are contemplated for next year. Pure mathematics, the usual high school brand, will know the Academy no more. Applied mathematics will take its place. Among the features stressed will be graphs, profiles, lettering, blue prints, map making and reading, the ele- ments of mechanical drawing, logarithmic computations, the use of the level, and the theory of investment. Much of this program is already in force. The advantage to the student easily is seen. The college en- trance requirements in English will be supplemented by extra work in business forms, letters, banks and banking, spelling and public address. The Academy believes that students deserve expert coaching in their study as well as in their athletics. In line with this idea a course in psychology will be given treating methods of study, economy in learn- ing, habit formation, the weighing of evidence, publicity, mental hygiene and life’s ideals. one hundred len IBXB ® lj t W i 11 e n b e r g t r 13X0 Academy Athletics Captain L.

HIS team marks the Academy’s initial effort in athletics. From A a handful of material the team was chosen and developed. Only two of the men had previous experience in basketball. Under the direc- tion of Captain Smith, the team developed into a good one. Five games were played with strong high schools and academies of this portion of the state. Though unsuccessful from the standpoint of games won, the season may be called a success since it was the initial effort and since it provided a strong nucleus for next year’s team. The outlook for next year is very bright. All but one of the play- ers will return to school. If intramural baseball is instituted this year, the Academy will be represented. Plans for a tennis team are being perfected, and abundant material is available for football next fall. The following teams were met during the basketball season: North Hampton High School, 0. S.

Dean of Hamma Divinity College one hundred sixteen i a i a olfrg Mttignhgrggr i ai a Hamma Divinity School ( )nE of the primary objects for which Wittenberg College was founded was the education of men for the ministry. During the early years of its history the theological department was not distinct from the regu- lar collegiate work, but in 1867 the theological seminary became a separate institution. In 1889, the first Hamma Hall was built receiving its name from Dr. M. W. Hamma to whose generous financial help and life-long personal interest in the cause of theological education at Wittenberg is immeasurably indebted. In 1901, this building was destroyed by fire, but was immediately replaced by the building now known as Keller Hall and used as a dormitory. The year 1914 marks the beginning of a new era of development for the seminary. During the year the new divinity hall, the erection of which was made possible by a legacy from the estate of Dr. Hamma, was constructed. The faculty of the seminary consists of five professors and during the present school year thirty-two students were enrolled. The graduates of the school now are numbering upwards of three hundred, are located in every state of the Union, as well as in mission fields in India, Africa, and other parts of the world. The aim of the work done in the Hamma Divinity School is to fur- nish a proper intellectual training for the Christian ministry. To this end, emphasis is placed upon the practical aspect of such preparation, as well as upon purely intellectual discipline. The Seminary endeavors to supply with adequately trained men the ever-increasing need of the Church a thoroughly consecrated, properly trained ministry. • • I i u i a u; 1] r 1 i 11 r n b p r g r r 1919 cnt hunjrtj nintlun 1913 $ h Wltttnbtr y t r 1319 Wittenberg Saturday School Professor J. A. Ness, Ph. I)., Director THIS school was organized in 1905 for such teachers of Springfield and vicinity as wished to enjoy the advan- tages offered by the college. Since that time it has steadily grown, and we have now an enrollment of 99 students. Courses have been added from time to time to satisfy the increasing demand of students engaged in the work, so that it is possible for Saturday students to take up studies repre- senting every class of the four college years and every de- partment of the curriculum. The courses of study in the Saturday School are planned to supplement those of the Summer session so that students registered in the one may continue their work in the other. Teachers are thus en- abled to complete the entire curriculum for the A. B. de- gree, or as many courses or years, as they wish. The advantages of this system, with its opportunities for contact with the college professors, over any corre- spondence system, will be readily apparent to every teacher. The school is conducted by the regular College Faculty. Wittenberg College offers every resource of classroom, laboratory and library to the teacher ambitious to advance in one favorite subject, or in all subjects that make up the usual college course. The Saturday School is especially anxious to help the teachers of Springfield and vicinity to meet the require- ments of the new school laws. With this end in view the Educational Department does, and will offer such courses as will enable any teacher desiring to advance, to receive the necessary credits or pass the required examinations. one hundred li enly 1313 ® lj 3 HI i 111 it b t x g t x 1313 The Wittenberg Summer School Professor T. Bruce Birch, Ph. I)., Director. I HE work of the Wittenberg Summer School is divided into three A sections. The first section begins begins on May 12th and ends on May 30th. This section is especially arranged to accommodate the High School pupils and teachers whose school terms end early in the year. The second section begins on June 2nd and continues until June 20th. This section is arranged for all students whose school terms end later in the Spring. During each of these sections of three weeks the students recite daily in each subject, and complete six weeks of work in each subject, as is re- quired by the State Department of Public Instruction as the minimum amount of work in a subject-unit. The work of each section is selected to meet the requirements of all students enrolled. The tuition for each section is six dollars. The third section of six weeks begins on June 23rd and ends Au- gust 1st. The tuition for this term is twelve dollars. This section of the Summer School aims to meet the needs of all students who desire to pursue studies which will advance them in their academy, college, or professional work. The work of these three de- partments receive special attention, and arrangements are made to pro- vide conditions most favorable for both instructor and student. All of the regular college courses are offered by the regular College faculty or those who are especially trained in their subjects, and the work done is of a high grade. A large number of professional courses are offered, and the courses are so varied that the subjects offered, meet the requirements of the State department for temporary, provisional and permanent certificates. All high school pupils, or other persons who desire to meet the pro- fessional requirements for permission to take the county examinations for a teaching certificate can secure at Wittenberg all the professional training required. A number of special courses are offered in Domestic Science includ- ing Elementary Cookery, Textiles, Sewing, and House Decoration and Sanitation. Courses are offered in Public School Music, including rudiments of music, the care and training of the child’s voice, the Rote Song, primary methods and devices, etc. Courses are offered in Manual Training adopted to Elementary and high school work, which prepares instructors to teach these subjects. Courses in Art are offered for those who desire to teach all of the art work required in the elementary school. Courses are also offered for advanced students in composition and Still Life, Metalry, Jewelry and Mechanical Drawing. Numerous courses are offered in vocal and instrumental music as well as courses in all the other essential subjects of music. All of these special courses are taught by those who have specialized in their sub- jects. A school of Observation and Practice is maintained for those who desire to observe and teach in the grades, or in a one-room rural school. This school is supervised by an experienced supervisor. All of the work done in each section of Summer School is recognized by the State Department of Public Instruction and is credited for tem- porary, provisional, or permanent certificates. one hundred Itrcnly-onc � � j l- )U3ai pupuntf 3uo 101H ®hF ffltttgnb?rg?r The Young Men’s Christian Association Wittenberg College COLLEGE OFFICERS Carroll I).

The “Y” made its sacrifice for democracy. Activities had to cease in the spring of T8. Rut with the opening of the second semester of this year a few days’ campaign resulted in a membership of one hundred and twenty-five. Unusual interest has followed the reorganization. The Round Table discussions, lectures by faculty members and others have been well at- tended and profitably. The usual Wednesday morning Lenten services this season have been conducted by the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A.’s. Vari- ous aspects of the “World for Christ” have been presented by Heim, Krauss and Secrist for the Y. M. C. A. These meetings have proved suc- cessful in their endeavor to secure a reverential observance of the occa- sion. The splendid work of the Y. M. C. A. is due to the devoted work of the Cabinet headed by Carroll D. Gaver. The prospect of unusual oppor- tunity for the incoming Cabinet with Harold F.

Meetings to establish the organization on firmer ground; to attempt some small help for others and to raise the standards of the school so dear to all. Mission and Bible Study Classes were formed under the leadership of Ruth Crum and Lucile Wilgus. Teachers in charge of these classes were the Misses Grace and Flora Prince and Mr. Fred Hines. Total en- rollment of mission classes was twenty-five; of Bible classes, eighteen. Once a month was held a special missionary program, the purpose being to arouse and sustain interest and furnish information concerning mis- sionary endeavors and enterprises. A fund has been started by this com- mittee for the support of a native worker in Africa. As an outcome of the work of the music committee, under the direc- tion of Esther Miller, there was organized a Girls’ Glee Club of thirty members which promises to be a permanent organization of the college. Social Service work conducted by Gertrude Willet has been exceed- ingly successful. Thanksgiving baskets containing supplies of several days’ duration were distributed among thirteen poor families of Spring- field. A Christmas party with dolls, stockings, mittens, candy and apples made twenty-four poor colored waifs happy. The north end of Springfield was canvassed for clothing and money for the Associated Charities. In the local settlement house work which has been done, special mention is given to Lois Meek, who has been in charge of cooking classes; Florence Guard, who has conducted English classes for foreigners; Dorothy Arnold and Eva Corey, who have taught sewing. Grace Martin, Mildred Hart- man and Laura Wible have done special visiting work for the Associated Charities. The association was represented at the National Conference at Evan- ton, 111., by Dorothy Smith. At the Central and Southern Ohio Confer- ence at Delaware, Ohio, by Laura Wible. Splendid reports from these conferences should act as inspiration for attendance at Eaglesmere this summer. Sandwich sales for the hungry S. A. T. C., together with the annual May Morning Breakfast, one of the big events of the year, has made pos- sible an unusual Summer Conference. This has been in charge of Helen Kramer. Associated closely with this was the work of the Social Com- mittee in charge of Dorothy Krautwater. War work was carried on very effectively, the first half of the year under the direction of Laura Wible. This work has taken the form of vocational problems—woman’s place in industrial democracy.

Herman, Mass., in a conference planned by Luther D. Wishard in council with Mr. D. L. Moody. The purpose of this meeting was to deepen the spiritual interest among the students, through meditation, personal inter- course and fellowship with religious leaders. Mission work was not the primary aim of the Conference, but a few young men inspired by Miss Grace Wilder met together daily for prayer and before the meetings ended one hundred men had dedicated their lives to foreign missionary service. Thus the Student Volunteer Movement, which has spread into every con- tinent, originated. The watchword is “The Evangelization of the World in This Genera- tion.” The declaration, as signed by the members, reads, “It is my pur- pose, if God permits, to become a foreign missionary.” From the Wittenberg Band sixteen men and women have entered for- eign service: In India, S.

In the vear of the founding of the college Excel saw its beginning and some months later the Philosophian Society appeared as an off shoot from Excelsior for the purpose of stimulating interest by competition. Like a United States, the offspring of an England, Philo has risen in strength to the status of a rival power to defeat Excel in many a struggle in the contest hall. The hall of the “Lovers of Wisdom” has left its beneficial work upon many an alumnus who looks back with thanks and devotion to those days when Philo did so much to strengthen him. And many an able alumnus has left his mark upon the shields—the witnesses of battles won—which bedeck Philo’s walls. That knowledge gained might be strengthened by application, that the student might learn to think and express his thoughts to his fel- lows with confidence, ease and ability, that responsibility, loyalty and clean sportsmanship in contest which might be acquired, is the noble object and purpose of the Philosophian Society. Skill in elocution, debate, extem- poraneous speaking, frank and honest criticism, and the laws of parlia- mentary procedure are the developments of membership. Nor does Philo ignore that demand for social activity that is ever present when any group of students associate themselves within an organization. Under the strain and stress of war, the activities which include inter- society and inter-collegiate contests were of necessity temporarily aban- doned. i et through all the discouragements of college more than deci- mated by the call of the country for men, has the spirit of Philo lagged, w nen the number of active men in Philo and also in Excel became too small tor energetic contests, at the request of Philo, ioint meetings were maintained™6 mterest and stren£th of the Literary League was largely the future is bright with promise, may the in- P. g d tions ot I hilo press her on to more victory and honor. one hundred thirty 131B (ii If 3® t i 11 n b t r g ? r laia Excelsior Literary Society p XCELSIOR Literary Society was organized November 20, 1845, in the J1 First Lutheran Church, thus becoming the first literary society in Wittenberg College. On June 26, 1846, some of the members withdrew and founded Philosophian Society for the purpose of increasing the in- terest through rivalry. Excel has grown with the college, changing her abode from time to time. The Old Dorm housed the society for nearly forty years, till the present location in Recitation Hall was given. A free democratic spirit has been one of Excel’s characteristics. She has sought to improve her members socially, mentally and morally, as well as give them excellent literary training. Every member of the so- ciety is given an equal chance, regardless of his rank and class stand- ing. A greater Wittenberg and a better society has been Excel’s one and only aim. One of the first undertakings of the society was the establishment of a library. This attempt was given such loyal support that in a few years several hundred volumes had been collected. In 1886 the libraries of Philo and Excel were combined and made accessible to the entire student body. Since 1905, with the exception of last year, Excel has met the other societies in contest with varying success. We have no shame in our rec- ord, having won our share of the shields awarded by the Literary League. During the last year the literary societies, because of lack of men and finances, have been forced to comparative inactivity. However, the prospects of a revival within the next year are good and we expect Ex- cel to do her part as she has in the past. Wherever the alumni of Excel have gone they have carried the spirit of their motto, “Perge Mode,” and have striven toward the top ever proudly singing, “Excel, Excel, We do excel. Altus et Altior, Excelsior.” one hundred thirty-one Euterpean Literary Society PERHAPS some think an “In Memorium would be very ap- propriate for the Girls' Literary Society. But we really feel that this organization is not dead—it is only sleeping; waiting for the girl who shall have the charm to waken the spirit to new and stronger life. The Euterpean Literary Society, in the years past has been a flourishing organization for the literary talent of the college girls. Some of us indeed are sorry that this work has not been carried on this year. But in the days of individual, national and world turmoil and change we should be glad that somewhere something could rest. There were several meetings called during the first semester, but it seemed impossible to carry out any definite plan, so that the only thing accomplished this year was the presentation of a Christmas pantomime, “Holy Night,” given in the college chapel on December 19. This performance was the result of a splendid cooperation of all the girls. And aside from the appreciation of our audience, we felt that there had been a democratic spirit shown which alone was worth all the efforts put forth. Rather than tell of our past glories or of present failure, we would send out a challenge to the Wittenberg girls of the future to arouse again the literary spirit of our college. We realize that in building up other interests and solving the difficult problems of the year, the literary side of our nature has had to suffer. But now the war is over and in this reconstruction period we sin- cerely hope that Euterpean Literary Society will not be for- gotten. one hundred thirty-1 a o i g x g 51 fr t Mittgnh ? r gn 1910 The Torch H ARLY in the year 1915 came the Wittenberg Torch. Prior u to this time the Wittenberger had been the mouthpiece of the student body and for some two score years had weathered the uncertain sea of student journalism. This publication, ap- pearing semi-monthly in magazine form, was, in 1915, hardly in keeping with the growth and development of the institution. Student opinion was strongly in favor of a live weekly periodical and when “Rue” Melching, ’15, gathered some kindred souls in his room in the old Dorm and submitted his proposal it met with instant approval. This gathering organized the Press Club, a self-perpetuating body which would control the embryo weekly. The student body welcomed the Torch, as the paper was most appropriately named, and soon it had become an accepted insti- tution at Wittenberg. For the remainder of the year the Witten- berger held forth as a rival publication but the next fall saw the merger of the two into a larger, stronger periodical. Until the present school year the Torch continued as the stu- dent publication at Wittenberg and throughout its existence per- formed its duties as recorder of student activities and student opinion most nobly. This fall it succumbed to a joint attack of S. A. T. C. and influenza. With the entire press club in the service and the school in a most unorganized state the publishing of the paper was interrupted for the year. Many are the times we have missed it and hoped to see it rejuvenated with the resumption of school activities in the sec- ond semester, but financial problems prevented such a move. We nope and expect to see the Torch take its place in Wittenberg next year. one hundred ihirty-threc 1318 1910 £ It r BM t t n h r r xj t r The Wittenberg Reveille usually found in things of that Kino. The staff of the Reveille was headed by Erwin M. Trittschuh. He was ably assisted by the best talent which the local camp could offer. Much of the credit for starting this publication must go to Lieut. Randall P. Fisher, the adjutant of the post, who first saw the possibilities of a camp paper. The Wittenberg Reveille enjoyed the distinction of being the only S. A. T. C. paper in Ohio, which was published for and by the students in training and entirely separate from the college. It took the place of the former Torch in many ways. It was the same size, but it dwelt almost entirely with the happenings and the would-be happenings in the “Barracks on the Hill.” It was a military paper from the first to the last page. One of the innovations which was found in the Reveille was a series of cartoons by Arthur Altick, one of the soldiers of the post. Altick is a good cartoonist and his humorous and timely cartoons added much to the success of the paper. The advertising department did great work. The size of the paper had to be increased from four to six pages to accommodate all the adver- tising matter which the solicitors secured. Much credit is due this depart- ment for it made the Reveille possible. The circulation of this publication was between four and five hundred copies. This was exceptional, being much greater than that of the former .. iIad-nhe w?r continued an(1 the S. A. T. C. remained at Wittenberg, the Reveille undoubtedly would have had a greater amount of praise and honor to its credit, for it was becoming very popular with its readers. The sudden demobihzation of the S. A. T. C. caused its discontinuance. This ended the career of one of the best publications which Wittenberg College Torch. THE STAFF Irwin M. Trittschuh...

Professor Hiller, the director, held the usual tryout early in the fall, picking about forty men to rehearse with the club of whom thirty were to be picked to make the annual tour. Ellsworth Gelwicks was elected manager at the first organization meeting. The original plan of a trip immediately after Christmas vacation had to be abandoned because of the number of Glee Club men who left school to join the colors and because of the reluctance on the part of many organizations to take up the proposition of engaging the club because of war conditions. With the assistance of Hanaford Billings a trip was finally arranged for the spring, new mem- bers were taken into the organization and the entire club reorganized the second semester. Three former Glee Club men, at the time students in the seminary, were of great assistance to the club. Besides singing in the chorus, Dolbeer was on the program for a reading and Strublc and Henning were members of the quartette. The home concert was given in the Springfield High School auditorium and was unusually successful. A club service flag was displayed at this concert with twenty stars, one gold one for Grey Swingle.

Taking advantage of the calls to the army and of the fact that purely pleasure interests had to be abandoned by the men, the women have asserted themselves and are now beginning to come into their own. Yes, we are suffragets! Surely, why not? Backed by the college Y. W. C. A. an organization was effected the latter part of 1918, and on Jan. 13, 1919, was the first rehearsal.

Twenty-eght girls of those who applied, passed the tests and compose the present organization; nine first sopranos, six second sopranos and thirteen altos.

When the com- pany gave its first military ball, music was a necessity, so some local talent was rounded up. It was at this time that some few real artists were located in our own camp, and after several days of hard re- hearsals they were ready for their opening performance. They put out a real surprise and have been going ever since. They have attained quite a reputation in Ohio and adjoining states and are fast outgrow- ing their surroundings. Much of the success of the organization is due to the directorship of J. 0. Sheehan who is a talented musician.

In accordance with this four more girls, Mildred Hartman, Gertrude Willet, Alma Thatcher and Florence Guard were added and the Jazzettes sprang into existence.

Prof. LeRoy Lambert for many years has been a director ap- pointed by the Art Publication Society of St. Louis, to teach the progressive series of music. This year Wittenberg followed the example of a large per cent of the colleges of America and adopted the progressive series in its controversy, appointing Prof. Lam- bert head of the piano department. Miss Roberta M. Felty, formerly a faculty member of the Bennett School, Millbrook, N. Y., is assistant in piano. The piano faculty is indeed a very capable one to instruct the twenty-eight pupils that have been enrolled during the past year. one hundred forty-four •‘Uj-HlJO pijpunxf 3uo m i a ® h t ]9tttpnh?rg?r 1919 ‘GREEN STOCKINGS” i HE Senior class has chosen as its play a comedy in three acts by A. W. Mason, entitled, “Green Stockings.” There has been much delay and confusion about a play this year and it is for this reason that the cast now chosen will have to work doubly hard and with renewed efforts. The plot of the play is good and there is a vein of humor running through the entire three acts. The scenes are laid in England at the time the English govern- ment was putting down rebellions in the African colonics. The plot of the play centers around Celia Faraday and Col. Smith, and the difficulties and perplexities which arise between these two are very humorous, to say the least. It seems there wras a custom prevailing in England at this time which re- quired the oldest sister of the household to wear green stockings if she was not married before her sisters. Celia Faraday had on two occasions done this and when our story opens, it looks as if she would be compelled to do it again as her younger sister, Phyllis, and Robert Tarver are nearing the culmination of a happy engage- ment. So Celia formulates a scheme by w'hich she hopes to break tradition. She procures an army manual and in looking through it picks out the name of Col. Smith as her supposed fiancee. She leaves on a short journey and upon her return announces her engagement. She informs the family that her intended has just left for Africa with an English regiment and upon his return they will be married. Her sisters urge her to write to him and this she finally consents to do. She hides the letter in the army manual, later intending to destroy it; but it so happens that Phyllis finds it and starts it on its w-ay. Celia with the aid of her Aunt Ida has an announcement put in the paper that Col. Smith has been killed in action. Of course, this new's is received by the house- hold with great consternation and everyone pities poor Celia. Col. Smith receives the letter and immediately returns to England to look up this unknown woman and to have some fun out of this confused state of affairs. He announces himself as Col. Vavasour and says that he is bringing the dying message of Col. Smith to Celia. I erplexities now begin to arise and it is at this point that the author really shows hiS.Pni?s a? a K°°d humorist. Between Col. Smith, Celia and Aunt Ida the rest ot the play is a farce in true form. The Colonel and Celia give a dialogue that is S;vo«h w-hile and when Aunt Ida becomes intoxicated the play is almost at its i.omplexities rise on all sides but at the end Col. Smith and Celia learn « kn?'i eafh ,ot }er, ?nd we may rest assured that the Colonel made a special trip to one of London’s fashionable jewelry stores. ISIS. ® b e in 11 tfiihugn : i - Junior Play jl LL-OF-A-SUDDEN PEGGY” (Ernest Denny) was presented by the Junior “class. This was a bright, clever comedy, divided into three acts. Act I—“The suddenness of Peggy.” Act II—“The suddenness of consequences.” Act III—“The consequence of suddenness.” The story is as follows: Peggy O’Mara and her mother are visiting Lord Anthony Crackenthorpe, who is decidedly interested in the study of spiders. Mrs. O’Mara is also interested in this but is more interested, however, in bringing about a marriage between Ix rd Anthony and her daughter. Lord Anthony is not Peggy’s ideal and since he is so much more suited to her mother, both in age and in manners, she con- trives by various schemes to bring about a match between the two. In the meantime Peggy falls in love with Lord Anthony’s youngest brother, Jimmy Keppcl. All ends happily. Mrs. O’Mara weds Lord Anthony and Peggy becomes the bride of Jimmy. The complications brought about by the schemes and the “All-of-sudden” char- acter of Peggy furnish to a marked degree the interest, cleverness and wit of the play. The character parts of Lady Crackenthorpe (Lord Anthony’s mother) and Major Archie Phipps, etc., are also very cleverly drawn and furnish much amusement. The play was coached by Ladru M. Layton and was a success in every respect. CAST Lord Anthony Crackenthorpe ... .T. Paul Laughner The Hon. Jimmy Keppel....... Major Archie................. Jack Menzies.................

On that day we opened the season with the 42nd Aero Squadron team from Wilbur Wright field. The gates were closed to the public on account of the health ban not being lifted. Nevertheless several hundred spectators, includ- ing ladies, enjoyed the game from every available vantage point outside the field. This team was considered the best at the field, but the game ended with a complete victory for Wittenberg. They were held scoreless while our team ran up a total of 45 points. Varsity showed up good on offensive but her defensive play needed strengthening. During the second half subs were in the majority. Lentz and Etter were chief scorers, Lentz getting two touchdowns and Etter three. Smith and Wetnight also added one apiece. Our next game was played with our old rival —Denison. She was counting on keeping the string of victories over Wittenberg intact. But such luck was not hers. Wittenberg started with a rush, Etter scoring a touchdown from the kick- off. Coach Hobt’s team not only won but out- classed the Baptists who never threatened to score. This victory brought more joy to our loyal rooters than any game of the season. It was the first time in 17 years that the Red and Black had been overcome by the Cardinal and Cream, very few will forget the support of the rooters who ably backed the team in their 19 to 0 victory. 1913 ® If ? fflittni b_t nj h 1913 Review of the Season OUR first game away from home was at Ada with Ohio Northern. This game was played without the services of Etter and Kiley—a great handicap to the team. Their places were taken care of by Detrick and Ogg. The first half stood 14 to 0 for Ohio Northern. But this only gave the team determination to fight to a victory. The small group of rooters was not at all discouraged and was backing the team to the limit. In the first few minutes of the second half each side had scored a touch- down. Then Wittenberg forced across another. With only three minutes to play Northern kicked off to Altick who carried the ball to the middle of the' field. On a long end run Lentz carried the ball to the three-yard line and on the next play carried it across. Smith kicked his third goal and Wittenberg had won by one point, the final score being 21 tc 20. This game brought much credit to each player for the hard but well earned victory. “The greatest season in history of Wittenberg closed by outplaying and outfielding Kenyon.” “For the first time a team wearing Cardinal and cream was undefeated for an entire season.” Due to the muddy con- dition of the field Wittenberg was only able to score 3 points—Etter kick- ing a goal in the second quarter. Nevertheless it was no disappointment, for at all times our team showed superiority. This Thanksgiving Day victory concluded the season with a clean slate for Wittenberg. She vied with Miami for honors in the Ohio Con- ference title. Full credit must be given our Khaki football team for up- holding so successfully the standards of Wittenberg.

Except for two defeats she came through all her nine conference games with a clean slate. With only two former varsity men back, Coach Godfrey set out to establish a winning team. We opened the season by defeating Ohio Northern at Ada to the tune of 24-8. This game clearly showed a lack of practice but gave promise of big things later on. The following week we played our first game at home, winning from Kenyon 37-8. This game proved to be a farce, for in the last half our players passed the ball among themselves and enjoyed a “keep-away” game at Kenyon’s expense. One of the hardest games of the season followed with Ohio Uni- versity on the local floor. The strong lineup presented by the visitors gave much worry to the followers of the Cardinal and Cream. Nevertheless the team came up to its usual standard and was able to win by a score of 26-23. This third victory began to excite much interest to our Wittenberg team. No conference games being scheduled for the next two weeks, Coach Godfrey took his warriors to Dayton to play the fast St. Marys team. After a very hard fight we were returned victors, the final score being 18-15. The following week one of the strongest professional teams in the country, the Dayton Triangles, came to Springfield. The Triangles soon found they had real opposition to combat. The first half ended 11 to 10 for Wittenberg. These veterans of the game came back strong in the second half and managed to finish the game with a six point lead, the final score being 20 to 14. Wittenberg opposed a strong team when she met Ohio Wesleyan on Washington’s birthday. We came from behind and won out in the last two minutes of play. The game was nip and tuck and at four different times the score was tied. A basket and a free throw just before the final whistle cinched the game for Wittenberg with a score of 28-25. The crippled team struck its first snag when she met Miami at Oxford. Lentz was lost to the team while recovering from sickness. Although “Stan” Netts had joined the squad, due to his lack of practice, the team felt the handicap of the loss of one of the machine. Wittenberg came back strong in the second half, but was unable to overcome the lead and the game resulted in a victory for Miami 25-23. Wittenberg came home for revenge the following week and defeated the Miami team 25-22. Although the game was hard fought it showed the superiority of our team. one hundred lix y-aeven 1 01 B 01 It i' IU Xt n b i rgn 1010 WITTENBERG’S real victory of the season occurred when she de- feated Ohio State at Columbus by a score of 25-21. Varsity was on the long end of an 18 to 5 score when the whistle blew at the end of the first half. State came back the second half with an entire new team, but was unable to overcome our lead of the first period. This victory will long be remembered. Cincinnati came to Springfield with a good record. This record was surely marred by our 42-11 victory. Accompanied by a hundred rooters the team journeyed to Delaware. Revenge was not forthcoming and over two thousand Wesleyan rooters saw their team go down to defeat by a score of 34-25. Wittenberg ended this unusually good year with a defeat at the hands of Denison. This was undoubtedly the strongest team we had opposed, the final score being 23-29 in favor of Denison. Much credit is due the team for their true spirit and fighting qualities that they showed at all times for old Wittenberg. We must not forget Coach Godfrey—the best basketball coach in the state—for his diligent effort with the team. The second team and Freshman squads are to be praised for the part they played in making this successful season.

His playing- was fast and he caused many guards to worry. He has two years more to fight for us. “Wib” Etter An All-Ohio forward. His first year on the team and a wonderful “find” for the school. His skill at the game was always a big factor in the scoring. There is a great future for him at the cage game. Two more years. one hundred tevenfj 'Det” Detrick X01B SU} g Mil t ? n lu r g ? r IHlfl A veteran of two years. His de- fensive play was especially brilliant breaking- up many plays under the basket.

Showed up fine for his first year on the team. “Vandy” Vandcrvort one hundred seventy-one ma ® lj a Hittgtthgrggr laia Athletic Outlook for 1919-20 X ITTENBERG’S athletic career is booming. Never has the v v school had such an abundance of real athletic material for the different branches of sport. We certainly can look forward to some great games next year. “Stan” Netts, a former star football man will greatly strengthen the team by his presence next year. To show the appreciation of his work on the team, he was elected to lead the team as captain. “Herb” Littleton and “Bill” Lange, will be back in Wittenberg next fall and their presence will also strengthen the team. Here are two good back- field men, and with Etter and Lentz, a great combination ought to be worked out. Besides these there will be Baylor, Kiley, Wentz, Cass and Repp from this year's Varsity. Putting all things together, it looks like Wittenberg can look forward to a state championship in football for next year. In basketball, the outlook for a winning team appears even more bright. Out of the first eight regular Varsity men this year, seven will be back with us next year. We are most proud of our fine team the past season, but can expect greater things next year. Just pic- ture the following warriors cavorting about the floor next season— Lentz, Netts, Kiley, Detrick, Etter, Wetnight and Kuhns. Our baseball team is composed entirely of new men. It is hard to say what honors they will bring to our school, bue we know it will be one that we can be proud of. Wittenberg should have a full year of successes in her athletics next year. Never has there been such good material from which to chose a team. We must not forget to say that this material will be well taken care of by our coaches. We are anxiously looking forward to a new gymnasium for our athletes. Let us hope their comforts may be looked after through such a medium. And finally—School Spirit. Remember—a winning spirit is the spirit that wins. one hundred icvcnty-liDo 1313 It p r g t r one hundred icvcnly-lhrcc ms ® 1) f 1 i 11 m b e nj g r 1913 FTER dropping baseball for the past two sea- ■ sons, Wittenberg has returned to this branch of athletics as a major sport. The handicap which the team suffers on account of inexperience is more than made up by the quality of the material. Never has the college had better candidates from which to choose a baseball team. The lineup is at this writing uncertain; but this much may be said. Kiley is as good a pitcher as the college ever had, with Kreppert and Brady as capable assistants. Wentz will receive their deliveries, with Schaffer as relief man, when not in the outfield. Etter on short, Netts on third, Detrick on first and Lentz on second make a fast and hard-hitting infield. Shell, Gi'ieb, Bradley and Wetnight are liable to replace these infield men before the season ends. The outfield will in- lude Bradley, Brady, Kreppert and Shaffer. Proph- ecy is a risky proposition; yet the school has great faith in this combination. The schedule calls for two games with both Ohio Northern and Ohio University; and one game with Miami. Others may be inserted to com- plete the schedule. Good luck to our baseball warriors. one hundred icvcnly-four Intramural Baseball 1917-18 I N the season of 1918 intercollegiate baseball had Abeen suspended. Due to a lack of student en- thusiasm it was thought advisable to discontinue this branch for one year. One game had been scheduled—that with Ohio University at Athens. This game was played and was a defeat for us, the score being 10-3. Nevertheless the plan was adopted to play intramural baseball between the different groups. A schedule was arranged accordingly and the games proceeded. The time for play was ar- ranged as 5 A. M. and 3 P. M. on Monday, Wednes- day, and Saturdays. There was great rivalry among the groups but it finally settled between the Betas and Phi Gams. These two teams clashed for the championship and the Betas were returned victors,4-1, leaving the Betas in posses- sion of the coveted loving cup. Thus ended the in- tramural baseball season. «vtn.y-ju one hundred seventy-seven 1918 5Hy r H 1111 n h r r i; c r 1919 A T fi B0IT i r a a An ASA 2A TA0 0 r r 0nt l-undred ,tvtnfy.,;ghi National Fraternities National Date of Founding Local Founding Founded At Chaptci Size 1865 1S83 Richmond, Ya 31 1839 1867 Miami U.

I HE duties of a Pan-hellenic Council are of a dual nature, first to han- A die all matters of business which may interest the fraternities, and second, to promulgate a spirit of interest and friendly rivalry in the Greek World. That relations between fraternities are on a much broader and more sensible grounds than was formerly the case is a recognized fact and this is, in a great measure, due to the efforts of organized fraternity coun- cils in the many fraternity schools. The organization of the Wittenberg Pan-Hellenic is simple and most apt. Two delegates are allowed each chapter, these men are chosen in their Junior year and continue as members of the council until graduation. Thus at all times we have an even number of Junior and Senior members comprising the council. Business meetings are held the first Monday of each month while weekly pan-hell dinners occur at the several houses in succession. At these dinners two members from each chapter are present. Pan-Hellenic smokers have been held at irregular intervals; these smokers are always enjoyable occasions and are very popular. The officers of the council are elected in such a manner that the offices are passed from group to group in succession. one hundred leveniy-nine THETA GAMMA RHO Mary McConkey Romaine Byers Ethel Surbey Olive Baltzly Margaret Ortman I HE Sorority Pan-hellenic Council was formed by Alpha Xi Delta and Alpha Delta Pi, May 21,1915. In 1916, Tau Delta Theta was admitted; in 1919, Theta Gamma Rho. At the Pan-hellenic luncheon in April, 1916, Madame Hochdoefer sug- gested that the organization have for its aim the endowment of a scholar- ship for a young woman in Wittenberg. This idea was taken up and Pan- hellenic started on its campaign to raise $2,000 for this fund, $100 to be raised every year. In 1916, the amount was made by means of a bazaar held in Ferncliff Hall. In 1917, a very successful play, “Sara Crewe,” was given. The proceeds were used to purchase a Liberty Bond. During the last year nearly $100 has been made by means of Wittenberg’s popular di- version—sandwich sales. The main idea of the Pan-hellenic of course is to foster a better spirit among the sororities. To this end, rushing rules have been adopted which tend to prevent discord among the girls and give each new girl a chance to meet all the sorority girls before making a decision. Altogether, Pan-hellenic has accomplished much good n its three ears of existence and promises much for the future. one hundred eighty 1318 ml) 8 liltfnbfrgfr isi3 Honor Roll Major W. S.

Itttttgnbgrggr With the advent of the Students Army Training Corps to Wittenberg College, a rps cruel blow was dealt to the residents of the Dormitory. The ruthless invaders of our abode unmercifully changed, over night our cozy dens into prison cells. Furniture was broken, personal belongings transported to the fifth floor, in fact everything that was loved by the old Dorm’s staunch supporters, was confiscated as contraband of war. New students of Wittenberg learned to look upon old Myers Hall as a mere army barracks and they learned to “love” it as such. And for three long months the good times and traditions of the good old Dorm were cast aside and a reign of terror was established. The S. A. T. C. was also a death blow to the Dormitory League as an organization. However, Fate would not long be so cruel to the old Dorm. The league re-organized February 13, 1919, electing Ensign II. Ward Grieb as its president. Fourteen new members were initiated into the League. The stag feed fiven annually in honor of the new men, was a most successful affair and was enjoyed y all and especially by the new men, who declared that this reception was quite differ- ent from the one given them a few weeks previous. Already since re-organization the most successful Dorm party in history has been given. Also, Stunt Day this year, was pronounced by all critics as the “best ever.” The real college spirit is again asserting itself, and although our number is small as compared to other years, due to post-bellum conditions, the “old life” is there and a good start has been made to prepare the way for the rush of men who are bound to come to Wittenberg next year.

Several girls from Lutheran families of the city were the first girl students admitted. Then co-eds came from far and near to enjoy its ad- vantages. Consequently FemclifT Ilall was secured to provide a home for the girl students. Later as the hall became inadequate to house the girls, an addition was built through the kindness of Mrs. Lovina Openlandcr, as a memorial to her husband. At the present time thirty-six girls belong to our group, and represent the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania. Ferncliff, although modemly equipped and up to date in its structure, has some peculiarities in its construction, which require continuous attention. For instance— and it has never been known to fail—when we are buried in deep study, or in the midst of dressing for some social affair, we find ourselves enlightened to the awful fact that we are in total darkness. Someone has been ironing just a tiny ruffle, or—but the fuse has blown out, and we must gi ope in darkness until the janitor arrives. We wish that an electrical missionary would be sent into our midst, as we send missionaries to carry light into the dark continents. Closely allied with the electrical trouble is the plumbing trouble. A visitor hear- ing a great rumbling as of a mighty earthquake, screams in terror, ‘‘What is that?” A Femcliffer replies in an apologetic tone, “Calm your fears. There is nothing wild running around here. It is just a defect in the plumbing.” No more do we hear our eager preps call, “I will answer the baby.” No, for the poor baby is broken, and cannot be whistled. However that does not prevent some very interesting bird calls being sent up on the north side of the Hall by some human mocking birds. Then in the north-side rooms you can hear such a clatter, made by girls rushing to windows to see what is the matter. In a deep stage whisper, you hear some guy say, “Hey! Be quick; drop a rope; here’s a pie.” But is it any wonder that such plots are laid to feed the famished horde, who worry themselves thin, not over such ponderous topics as The League of Nations, or Bolshevism, but over the daily recurring question, “Are we going to have dessert for dinner?” This year Ferncliff has a GRAND PIANO, but with all pleasure there is connected some pain. In any kind of weather, wc listen to cracked high notes and rumbling low notes of the music students, and the wailing of the Ferncliffers for a banknote large enough to buy a counter full of rag time. “Varsity is the spice of life,” and we are glad that our girls show a tendency to live happily and optimistically, ever endeavoring to realize higher ideals in life, and to keep from becoming fossilized. lino hundred ten _______HI 111 g n h ng? r laia rcRNcurr HALL Izto hundred cvclcn 1910 1919 QJ1; g Blittgttitgr ij g r The Tug of War VERY year the two under classes pull the cable to decide who goes through the lake at Snyder Park. This has become one of the most interesting features of the school year and promises to remain so. The night before the pull is usually an exciting one, too. Many a Freshman has found himself handcuffed or tied and laid neatly in the corner of some dark cellar. In 1916 the Freshmen were victorious and with a few big huskies like “Dutch” Trautwein pulled the Soph’s, under the direction of “Stan” Dorst, through so fast, that they didn’t have a chance. In 1917, for the first time in years, the “Soph’s” hauled the Freshmen through. Nobody knows yet just how it happened, when the pistol cracked the Freshmen had the lead and just as the “Sophs” were preparing for a bath, something happened and the next instant the Freshmen were wading across to join them. This made the class of 1920 victors of both battles. We can’t say yet how the “tug” this spring will come out but we have our own ideas, with the Freshmen issuing the challenge and outnumbering the Sophomores nearly two to one. two hundred twelve lina lam ® 1? ? 1 i 11 m It u g n Stunt Day I HIS is the day of days when every one dons his glad rags, paints his face and issues into the halls of knowledge dressed in any garb to look as hideous as possible. It has become a tradition at Wittenberg that onApril 1st the dorm men carry out this old custom. The costumes and make-ups of 1919 were exceptionally good, and all races, occupations and professions were represented. The green Freshmen, who hasn’t seen such entertainment before, at first may think that the college is entertaining some circus troop, but after a few explanations he understands. la-o hundred thirteen laifi (5 1) H i 11 nt It ? r g p r 1910 laio hundred fifteen 1918 1919 ® h t_ Uj ttj n b_£ rij r The S. A. T. C. at Wittenberg ThF Students Army Training Corps was conceived with the idea of I HL fliflarv training for the men of the colleges, and mobilizing them'inffiafreat corps which would provide material for the officers and non-com schools. Preliminary to its introduction into the colleges was the camp at Ft Sheridan 111 where selected men from the schools were trained as instructors. At this camp some were commissioned and assigned to various phases of instruction. The purpose of the corps was to establish in each college an army post where the college men of the nation might be examined trained and classified for service in the regular army. Instead ot calling the men to a few great concentration camps, the government decided to use the colleges as smaller camps. This was the purpose of the organization. True, the ending of the war prevented to a great extent the realization of the plans. At 11:00 A. M., October 1, 1918, simultaneously with all the other colleges in the country, the S. A. T. C. at Wittenberg was inaugurated. The men who were to be sworn marched to the front of Myers Hall, where the new flag pole had been erected. After addresses by Gen. Kiefer, Capt. Syman, Dr. Heckert, Mr. McQuaig and the then Captain Somes, the men were duly sworn into the service of the United States. A large crowd of friends witnessed the ceremony which was an impressive epoch in the history of the school. The corps at Wittenberg was subjected to military discipline fully as strict as that in operation in any post in the country. The men were given the rudiments of military tactics, both practical and theoretical. The principles of interior guard, the offensive use of the bayonets, the nomen- clature and use of the rifle, the schools of the soldier, squad and company, the fundamentals of military law and courtesy were some of the branches of training which the men received. The Wittenberg S. A. T. C. was efficiently officered. The commissioned personnel of the corps had at all times the best interests of the organization at heart. Capt. Somes, as commanding officer, was respected and admired by the men under him. His long experience in the army gave him a grasp on the details of army life and customs that was sadly lacking in many other officers. Lieutenant Fisher, the adjutant, handled the paper work in a manner which was satisfactory to ail concerned. When one knows the mass of paper work connected with the maintenance of an army post, he realizes the task which the adjutant has. Lieutenant Hollenback, as the Quartermaster officer, dolled out supplies with a wary hand. Any one who got an issue without signing for it was an early riser. Lieutenant Heil, who came to this corps some time after its inception, assumed a large portion of the instruction and inspection of the recruits. He had attended small arms school and was an authority on all phases of the rifle. °I1? anxious Period of the corps was during the “flu” epidemic. hnsJtai tv!?6 meni iU For a time the sPace given over to the tened3l° b?come inadequate. Then a dwelling house on the campus was secured for hospital purposes and it became merely a question Itto hundred sixteen 101H (E h i' t it h ? rgn 1010 of continuous and constant care and watchfulness. In this connection Capt Syman, the medical officer, must be mentioned. It was due to a I� ,™ extent, to his absolute self-sacrifice and devotion that Wittenbere ran point to a clear record in connection with the epidemic. The labors of the captain, together with those of the good women who gave so much to the boys, were responsible for the recovery of every man stricken with the malady. The corps at Wittenberg according to the statements of inspectors compared very favorably with the units in other schools. We were out- fitted more completely and more quickly than the majority of the schools Our schedule was more efficient and more productive of results than the schedule of any other school in Ohio. The inspecting officer of the district in complimenting Captain Somes on the status of his unit, remarked that it was superior in every respect to the other units in this district. We feel that this superiority, in whatever degree it may have existed, was due to the commanding officer. His attention to details, his watchfulness for ways to better the condition of his men, his absolute impartiality, his knowledge of things military gained by seven years in the army,'these form part of the qualifications which he possessed for the position in which he was placed. Many tales are told of the Captain’s strategies, but none more entertaining than the one of his trip to Columbus for blankets and the securing of five hundred at the Columbus Barracks when Ohio State was crying for them. We thank the Captain for his services with us. Altho the S. A. T. C. was in existence but two months it left effects which will not soon be eradicated. It had a great influence on the school. It called to this school many athletes which otherwise would not have come, has gotten them interested in 'Wittenberg and given the school an opportunity to hold them. This also applies to the men who did not par- ticipate in the games. Wherever there is a man who was enrolled in the corps, there is one who knows about and is interested in Wittenberg. As an advertising scheme, the S. A. T. C. was well worth while. The primary consideration, however, is not the effect on the school, but the results which were gained by the men themselves. During the weeks spent in, the corps, habits were formed which will not easily be broken. Habits of punctuality, cleanliness, orderly neatness, precision, courtesy, surely these will not be forgotten in a day. The erect carriage of the soldier, the exercise, the regularity of habits, all these left their impres- sion on the student. Surely Wittenberg will produce better citizens from the fact that she opened her doors to the S. A. T. C. The S. A. T. C. was barely started when the armistice was signed. Had there been more time for its development and completion it wou c have been a much more powerful and potent factor in the nation s stieng Conceived as a gigantic mobilization of all the college men in the nation, the first attempt at anything of the. kind, it was � n endeavor avoid the errors of the allied nations in their sacrifice o g enrolled in the higher schools.

A. T. C. was promulgated throughout the United States. From this day on, though these distinguished future intellects did not realize it, they were soon going to find that a potato has peelings and that walking guard all hours of the night is not quite as pleasant as holding down a chair around a warm fireplace. To start the ball rolling we had to march down town three times a day for mess and it was at this time that the company really realized how many beans there were in the world. Beans—what a pleasing sensation that brings to the mind and it matters little how much we may have liked the Van Camp variety before our army life, I think our estimation of the Peruvian fruit is somewhat lessened. In a company of 200 men one is bound to find almost every type of manhood and in our company there were several who would believe almost anything one would tell them. It was due to this fact that our Famous Field Corporal was instigated. It was one evening in November while I was working in my office that one of our distinguished privates came in and said he would like to speak to me on an important question. I told him to go ahead and thus the following story. 1-Ie told me in a quiet tone that he was rather large around1 the hips and that the flunkies in the Q. M. room could not supply him with breeches. He named said flunkies and I saw at once that there was something in the breeze so I coaxed him on and told him to go back to the Q. M. room and I would follow immediately. That night was an eventful one and one that 1 will never forget for if any 3 or 4 men ever spread a line it was that night. We made said private a field corporal, a distinction which any one can at some future date hope to attain. It was necessary tc( explain the duties and rank of a field corporal to the private and we surely got him told. The responsibilities of F. Corporal are not daily but it is on pomp and stated occasions that he jumps in the limelight and saves the day. It is the privi- lege of the F. C. alone to salute with the commander of the regiment and it is very seldom that a man with an eagle on his shoulder salutes. I do not think many people could tell a F. C. if they saw one, so I will explain his dress. He always wears a cap which is of peculiar design and seems to droop over both ears; his blouse is double-breasted and across the front in screaming red boldness may be seen the letters F. C.; his breeches are tight- fitting and should fit snugly in his white leather puttees; his shoes are always immaculate and may either be of a white or black nature, depending on the occasion. Across his back appears his chevrons and because a F. C. chevrons are so large, it is only natural that a man of great physique should be honored with this merit. He should always wear a white bow tie with a stick pin to correspond to his rank. It is the field corporal and the field cor- poral alone who is permitted to use the right oblique salute and I think that it any of our military authors had ever seen our F. C. do the right oblique salute he would immediately put it in his book, for of all beautiful military ceremonies, none is so pretty and significant as a regiment of trained soldiers executing a right oblique salute. Generals may come and generals may go, out the field corporal goes on forever. It was not until early in December that the enemy began to push us narci. Our food supply was getting low and we at last realized that the 1 HI B luia I) g M ittgnligrgg r greatest battle of the war was soon to be realized. It was one night about 9 o’clock that Captain Somes called a meeting of the line officers and it was at this time that we realized that our chance for which we had been waiting was soon to be realized. We outlined our plans, which read as follows: First, Pilots Baylor and Hundley were to scour the country and learn whether the enemy was in ambush around the foot of the hill or on the chimneys of Science Hall. These brave and hazardous human buds were to be followed by the Baloon Corps, consisting of Maxwell and Yohe. They were to carry the mysterious cilated wamps by means of which the enemy was to be exterminated. Next to appear was the infantry, under the guid- ance of Cols. Kiley and Stackhouse and following the infantry the cavalry, under Major C. L. Jones, and lastly the heavy artillery, under Brig. Gen. Burgner. The council was dismissed in true military form and told to appear again at 5 A. M. to carry out instructions. Little sleep did we get, for no one knew what the morrow would bring. Finally 5 A. M. arrived and activities began. I was detail officer and it was up to me to get things started. First of all, Baylor was still out on a date and Hundley said he would not fly until he could get some Piedmont cigarettes. Baylor came in shortly and I was able to find Red some American Pall Malls, so I bid them good-bye and .good luck. Next on the program Maxwell was busy cleaning his field corporal chevrons and Yohe was playing pool in the gymnasium. I finally succeeded in getting them going, although it was a risky job getting the wamps into the baloon. Then I asked myself where were Kiley and Stackhouse. I found Kiley in front of a sorority house, strumming on a guitar and singing to the tune of “Why I am so popular— no one knows.” I took him back to the barracks and on the way we met Stackhouse, amusing several squirrels on the campus. So finally, at 5:45, the Infantry was on its way and as the boys went marching away I wept softly, for who knows—maybe in 10 minutes they would all be riddled with bullets and dying true patriots. The cavalry was ready and they started out about 5:50, followed immediately by the artillery, under the command of a soldier. Brig. Gen. Burgner. Our plans were not successful. Hundley lost his cigarettes, Baylor started to shimmie in his plane and in so doing crashed to the earth. C. L. Jones could not give commands fast enough and Burgner had to stop and talk to a couple of girl friends of his. Finally, at 6:30 sharp, we charged the enemy and many of our brave boys went thump- ing to the terrapin—dead heroes. Three times a bullet lodged in the bugle and 3 times the life of Ellis Goe was saved. It was due to the courage of Emery Yohe, A. E. F., that we won the day, for it was due to his courage, his strength and cheerfulness, that, by strategy, we defeated our hated enemies. So the Battle of Wittenberg was won and its memory will forever penetrate the minds of those who underwent that terrible ordeal. Passing from the ridiculous to the sublime, allow me to say a few things in all seriousness. Our company was the best in many states, for that was the statement made by the inspecting officer. Our commissioned officers were indeed good men and men whom we can call our friends forever. Some people have the idea that any one in an S. A. T. C. did nothing but look wise and there is where they are entirely wrong. Our S. A. T. C. life was exactlv similar to the life in any army camp for I had experience in both. The men in our S. A. T. C. were all wonderful fellows and I thought a great deal of all of them, and it is at this time that I would like to wish all of them the best of luck and happiness in the world, for without their help and co-operation our S. A. T. C. would not have been what it was. I would also like to show my appreciation to the non-com. officers and especially Sgt. Simon, for what they did to help the big project along and when I look back on that stretch in our lives, I think that we can all be proud and say that we did our bit for the good old U. S. A. K W.

Eberhard On April 2, 1919, a great friend of Wittenberg College passed to his reward. He had been in failing health for seveial months, but it was hoped by his many friends that an operation might prolong his life. After a week’s intense suffering in a Cleveland hospital he was released from his bodily anguish. Dr. Eberhard was president of the Board of Directors of Wittenberg College and had served on this board of the past eighteen years. He was one of the most intelligent and con- scientious servants of higher Christian education in the whole church. He had many and important business connections, but these never interfered with his desire to be of service in God’s work. He was not only president, but also a member of the finance committee of the board. The grief of the college authorities is genuine at his going away from us. We join with the hundreds who gathered at his home in Wadsworth to lay a tender wreath on his casket. His bereaved widow, left alone to mourn the death of a beloved consort, has our deepest sympathy. Dr. Eberhard was the “Beloved Physician,” the warm hearted Christian, the sincere, manly friend, the commanding figure in business relations and the cultured and charming gentleman. Norman R.

IB.-0 hundred fortylhrce President C. G. Hcekert Colonel Koosevelt 191 g (jU| g Mtttgnbgrggr 1919 Colonel Roosevelt Visits Wittenberg ( OLONEL Theodore Roosevelt, former President of the United States, and a close friend of Wittenberg College and President Heckert, visited Springfield and Wittenberg in the interest of the war chest. Few men have done more for their nation than Colonel Roosevelt, and Wittenberg was thrown into deep sympathy to learn of the death of such an internationally known patriot. He was welcomed with the greatest enthusiasm, although our New York papers inti- mated that his visit was for a different motive. He was very much pleased with the spirit and patriotism of Wittenberg College, and very justly so. If all records could be obtained Wittenberg probably threw into the fighting forces of Uncle Sam eight or nine hundred fighting men. Undoubtedly Theodore Roosevelt, although deprived of the right to fight in the actual battles, played his part well toward helping win the world war and his life might be a model for any young American. :� � hundred forty-five 191S (F h e Witte nh e r xj e r 1019 The 1919 Wittenberger K OR more than forty years, Wittenberg College has attempted 1 to publish, in book form, a notation of the happenings of the school year. Of these, few have been thorough successes on account of financial and other difficulties. The 1918 Wittenberger did not materialize because of the men of the College leaving school to enter the service. The Junior class of 1920 has under- taken a task under the most pronounced difficulties. The diffi- culties of time and money both presented themselves, the former having been solved, the latter is well under way. The staff realizes that this task has been put across only by the support of every Wittenberger, including alumnae and advertisers. The Wittenberger campaign started off with a spirit. A tag day was held and 300 books were sold the first day of the campaign. Eight hundred letters were then sent out to alumnae, but the outcome of this venture cannot yet be estimated. On account of the men Wittenberg sent to the fields of France—on account of the reaction brought about by the effects of the soldier-student on Wittenberg, we thought it paramount t hat some notation should be made, and this is our attempt to give to you this, our military edition of the Wittenberger. IV e aim to make this edition a landmark as a Wittenberg journal as it is the largest year book ever published by the college, and one of the largest published in the state in 1919 We sincerely hope! that those who follow us will make the Witten- berger a permanent part of our institution. —W.

The young ladies who par- ticipated in this fete were chosen by the student body at a meeting held in the chapel. Beginning early in the morning, the first ceremony was the crowning of the May Queen. Following the coronation, Miss Homrighaus ascended the throne which had been pre- pared for her, from which advantageous point she viewed the festivities. The program included aesthetic dancing, a wand drill and a May Pole dance. Miss Eula Wilcox, physical director of the Y. W. C.

Iteo hundred fifty-one 1918 1919 ®lp 3ittt nbi rg r Son William is Rushed by a Frat DEAR Folks: I know you will be surprised to hear that I belong to a frat. It was a big surprise to me. I know Dad will think I ought to have waited a while, but you can’t wait and belong to the best frat of them all, which is the one I belong to. The fellows that belong to it explained it to me. You see, there are so many fellows that want to belong to the best frat that they offered to let me in before the rush began and so I had to join right away. _ , The name of my fraternity is the Row, Si, Row. They have some funny letters that look like pitchforks on the door, but that is the name of it. It is a lucky thing I joined it, because there was another bunch that wanted me to be a Teed N. E. It would have spoiled my whole college career to have been one of those things. The fellows told me so. They have been awful nice to me, and I don’t know what I would have done without them. You know, in the first place I was going to meet “Slats” Highhill, which is what the call Robert up here at the university. He belongs to the Delta Nu Hand and was going to meet me at the train. It was the luckiest thing, though, that the Row, Si, Rows heard about it! They knew that Slats and the rest of the Delta Nus had been exposed to the smallpox and they didn’t want to see me run into any dnager like that. When I got to a little station just before you get here I heard somebody hollering for me and when I answered some fellows picked up all my baggage and helped me right off the train. Then we got into a machine and they told me all about the smallpox, and I was mighty glad I didn’t get mixed up with the Delta Nus and have to be in quarantin for a month or so. They were telling me all about their bunch when another car showed up with some of the Delta Nus in it. The fellows were so scared of the smallpox they just opened her up, and it didn’t take us long to get into town, you bet. I know Dad will be glad I am a frat man, because he is so strong for President Wilson, and President Wilson is a member of three fraternities that I know of. Robert told me he belonged to the Delta Nus before he lelt home. He is also a Teed N. E., and the fellows were just telling me he was a member of the Row, Si, Rows that night when the most exciting thing happened. We heard a big racket downstairs and a lot of talking. Just, as we opened the door a little I heard somebody call my name, and U was just about to answer when one of the fellows rushed up and told us the police were down there and were going to arrest us for speeding coming to town. v ”ame� Jle sa d. and the best thing to do was to make a getaway. 0 fu. ?ut ° u the back porch and slid down without making any noise the rest of the fellows were still arguing with the policemen when we t i,n!U| u- back way. Robert Hihghill must have told the police, because I heard him talking down there. nffir. Jc'«1® m ? sai?

There were some new I guess, by the name of Rushy, and we had a great time before going to bed. I never met such jolly fellows before. call fron ?ih0WT °ng b ad b en asleeP when I got a long distance call Horn you folks. It scared me for a minute, and I jumped into some fn-o hundred 131H i g i g S t| g Hilt gnbgrggr clothes, because I had. to go down to the corner to use the other phone. One of the fellows went with me, but only got down the street a little piece before two or three fellows jumped out and grabbed us both. I didn’t know what had become of the fellow that was with me, but in a minute I was in a motor car and going down the street to beat time. I was pretty sore and a bit scared, too, because I thought mavbe some kidnappers had heard about Dad’s big wheat crop and were going to hold me for ransom. It turned out, though, that that wasn’t it at all. After we got out of town the fellows in the machine said they were Teed N. E.’s and were just having a little joke on the Row, Si Rows. I told them I wanted to go back and get that telephone call from home and they said there wasn’t any telephone call and that they had done that just for fun. I said that the Row, Si, Rows were a pretty nice bunch and had been pretty nice to me and they might not like it if I would become a Teed N. E. And they said it wouldn’t make any difference and besides every one knew that the Row, Si, Rows had only one man on the checker team la st year and the Teed N. E.’s had had two and furthermore their fraternity had been founded in 1619 and had more chapters than Les Miserables. We were still talking about it when somebody hollered fire. There was a lot of noise outside and when wa opened the door the hall was full of smoke. It smelled to me like rags burning, but there was so much excite- ment I didn’t have time to think much about anything. Everybody was running around and there was a lot of people outside yelling something awful. I got all the clothes I could and started to escape. I ran down the steps through the smoke and finally found a door and went down some more steps and got into the basement. It was smokier than ever there and I ran into somebody before I knew it. He hollered and some others ran out the door and I ran after them and when we got outside I found it was the Row, Si, Rows. Somebody hollered “here he is,” and they were so glad to see me they forgot all about the fire and we went down to their machine and back to their house. They wanted to know if the Teed N. E.’s had pledged me and I said they had wanted to, and then they told me what a narrow escape I had. They said the best thing I could do was to join them right away and not take any more chances on getting into the wrong fraternity and ruining my college career. They said a lot of other things which I was too sleepy to remember and then they put a little button on my coat and then they all tried to mash my fingers and pound me on the back. It hurt a good deal, but I knew you had to be game when you joined a frat, and I didn’t let on that I minded it a bit. It will be a great thing for me to belong to this frat, as I said before because all the big men of the country will be just like brothers to me and they will help me get a good job or anything I want to do. I have got a room here in the house with one of the Bushy brothers. The ceiling slopes towards the sides, but I can stand up real straight in the middle of the room. The ceiling is that way because it is on the third floor. The fellows say that for freshmen to become real Greeks they have got to get the attic atmosphere. You will see from the above that I have been pretty busy and that is the reason I haven’t written sooner. Much love to all of you and, Dad. will you please send me about $10 right away, as I have a few expenses I did not figure on. Hoping you are the same. Your loving son, WILLIAM. P. S.—I expect you had better make that $15, Dad. The fellows have got me a date with a mighty swell girl. She is one of the Kappa Kap Pajamas.

It is rumored that he has given over all .the work of bring- ing the army back to this country to his secretary, and is now devoting his entire time to chevron-designing. According to a report received from Washington yesterday, the aesthetics of the country arc to receive a distinct thrill when the newest creations for wear on the arms are announced. These, it is stated, arc as follows: For men who have served in the Ordnance Department, Quartermaster Corps, and other spur-bearing office branches1 of the army, baby-blue silk chev- rons, one for every ten orders placed with manufacturers; for well-built Aviation Ground Officers, who could have scored a hit in Class la of the draft, pink silk chevrons bearing a facsimile of a kcc-wcc bird iiv white feathers, for every six- months of service in this country; for members of SA and ROTC’S, a sea-green chevron for every salute drawn from un- suspecting privates in the National Army: for song-leaders, calisthenics-instructors, and so forth, a rich lavender chevron for every three months service on this side. The foregoing simply suggests the beautiful work the Secretary has been doing for the past month or two, and cannot be vouched for as absolutely cor- rect, since it was gleaned from hints dropped by a War Department employee last week. It is said, however, that an official announcement may be expected soon, and that in it will be described several other kinds of chevrons not men- tioned above. — ,8cr- two hunJrtd sixty-W This space contributed by Remington Typewriter Co.

It has good looks enough for the boulevards, but the reason its owners stay with it i a better one than that. It lusts! It has stamina of quite a remarkable sort. It performs in the hands of the demonstra- tor and then it keeps on performing for (literally) years afterusanf in the hands of its owner-drivers. Everything about the Wcstcott from its carburetor to its cushions, and from its luxuries to its looks, is made right to stay right. It’s not only the car with a longer life, but the car with less trouble and more solid comfort during every year oi that long life! THE WKSTCOTT MOTOR CAR COMPANY ji v‘ u. or� , u. s. a.
