PREFACE

HE Class of 1911 gave to you the 
In so do­
“Wolverine” in 1910. 
ing, they asked that, if possible, 
the name “Wolverine” should be 
perpetuated in such publications in 
the future.

With this in mind, and believing that our col­
lege should have and will support an annual 
“Wolverine,” the present board submits to you, 
in the name of the Class of 1912, this book.

Feeling that a college year-book should be truly 
and broadly representative of the institution for 
which it stands, we have endeavored herein to give 
space to all phases of college activity upon our 
campus. 
It is our hope that in days to come, 
these pages will serve to bring back to mind the 
faces and scenes which are now so familiar, and 
that you may thus be enabled to re-live the happy 
undergraduate days.

We have given willingly of our 

time and 
thought, and crave only appreciation for what we 
have accomplished, and leniency toward such im­
perfections as may appear in this undertaking. 
We thank all those who have helped, each in his 
own way, to make these pages a reality; and we 
trust that this first “Annual” shall prove but a 
stepping-stone toward constantly bigger and better 
M. A. C. “Wolverines.”

Campus History Sketches

By Prof. Frank S. Kedzie

ETURNING to this campus ten years from today what first will 
you seek out to bring it all baek again to you,—the College days? 
Will it be a familiar room in some “dorm,” an alcove in the 
library, or a nook in the wild garden? This campus on that day 
(which I hope will be in June and the sun shining) will suggest 
many happy vivid recollections.  The thoughts of hundreds ol 
former students turn hitherward, for it is still their college though 
they may never have revisited it since their departure years ago. 
What surrounds us here and now and what we enjoy together, is 
the result of faithful, enthusiastic effort—the work of student and 
teacher side by side.  A freshman of fifty years ago, should he re­
turn today to look up his past record as a student, would not hie himself to the 
registrar’s office, but more than likely would wander over across the river toward 
the south to see if he could find 
the remaining evidences of some 
stump of a tree he felled in clear­
ing the farm, or trace the route of 
an underdrain in field number 12 
or 14.  Let us go over the place 
together in 1911 and hunt up the 
bench marks of the industrial edu­
cation idea.

Old College Hall (1857). 

Its 
bricks were made from campus 
clay dug from the hill in front of 
Prof. Vedder’s house, at the ex­
act point 
from which 50 years 
dater President Roosevelt gave his 
semi-centennial address. 
This 
building for thirteen years housed 
every department and educational 
feature of the college, except the 
livestock, and occasionally select- 
ed specimens of these by night were invited to enjoy its hospitality.  On the
third 
library, museum, botan­
ical and zoological laboratories; the sec­
ond floor — the two class rooms and the 
offices of the President and Secretary; the 
first floor—the chemical laboratory on the 
north and the chapel as it is, with the ex­
ception that the stage was on the north side 
of the room and an opening into the chemi­
cal laboratory permitted its use as a lecture 
room for lectures in chemistry as well as 
chapel exercises, accompanied by ethical 
discussions, which had more or less of a

practical trend. 
In the basement were the tools and stores for the hort. department.

compulsory.) 

our Faculty in the Eighties

floor 

the 

Williams Hall (1868) was the first steam-heated building on the campus.  Up 
under the roof two of our present college societies, U. L. S. and the “Tics, ” first
found a home. A somewhat crude estimate 
leads me to the statement that since the 
completion of the building each room in 
this dormitory has been occupied by at least 
84 different students.  What an interesting 
assemblage would a home coming reunion 
for a single student’s room produce.

Next followed the Chem. Lab., 1871, 
then old Wells Hall, 1878, and the Li­
brary, 1881.  When these buildings I have 
mentioned were new, this kind of education 
^ was still newer and was not an altogether 
acceptable form to the mass of Michigan’s 
taxpaying citizens.  Money for buildings and improvements came slowly.  This 
college never had a mushroom growth.  But as its students went out to do the 
world’s work, as you will soon do, their willingness to tackle anything and to do 
honest work strengthened the college little by 
little, and overcame some strong predjudices 
against the new ideas for which the college was 
established. 
I had thought in sketching my 
personal impressions of the college as it is today 
to say something about monuments—denkmal, 
the German word, think once—expresses it best.
This that we now enjoy has been brought about 
by the work of students guided, assisted, helped— 
but still it is the result of their work which has 
produced what M. A. C. is here and now.  So 
this college is the students’ monument.  The
buildings, however old and worn or new or grand, are simply the tools with which 
we work ; the reputation of the college, its power to influence our lives—this is the 
monument to the past.

Yet the buildings have names—Williams, Wells and Abbot—which will remind 
some of the real old fellows of men whom they worked with at the beginning of 
M. A. C.’s struggle.  The Chemical, Botanical, Horticultural and Bacteriological 
laboratories might well have had placed on their corner stones such names as these : 
11. C. Kedzie, W. J. Beal, L. H. Bailey and C. E. Marshall.  Still it is not that
which remains in the walls that gives 
strength to the building, but that which 
you yourself carry away.

Towering high above the roof of the 
College, hospital is the largest oak tree on 
the campus. 
It was so large that away 
back in 1864, when all the other native 
oak trees were topped or beheaded to im­
prove their appearance and prolong their 
lives, this free was left untouched by the 
workmen with the sorrowful expectation 

It still remains in all its native stateliness.

that in a few years it would die. 
[ 8 ]

Hidden away behind the Veterinary Laboratory is a square brick building which 
was the first college barn. 
It is as ancient as College Hall, but lacks in tradition. 
Stored away in it, however, are remains of a cherry lumber case which at one time 
occupied the chapel platform and protected the largest plate electrical machine in 
the state of Michigan.  The first electrical exhibition given at M. A. C. was when 
this ponderous affair was run out from its case into view on the chapel stage, and
the large glass wheel cau­
tiously rotated, thus per­
mitting the students to 
get an insight into the 
mysteries of “natural 
philosophy.

When the “Mechani­
cal Course” (that was its 
first name) opened in ’85 
the pioneer students were 
employed in the shops, 
building lathes and an en­
gine to help out in the 
equipment of the depart­
ment.  A steam cruising 
yacht, the Iota, by mem­
bers of 
the Delta Tau 
Delta fraternity was built, 
fitted out, and launched 
in Dake Michigan—early

Classes come and go, each with its individuality.  The first , college paper, “The

Bubble,” was blown up to a four page sheet by the class of ’68. 

The class of ’73 first distinguished itself by wearing 
a seven sided mortar board cap and latterly by spend­
ing a summer recess of ten days in moving the rock 
to its present place by the evergreens, from a point 
where Dr. Marshall’s house now stands, where the 
melting glacier left it.

Class individuality means strong individuality of 
constituent members.  Look about you and see if 
that is not so.

The college “Speculum,” a paper which did much 
for student interest, was established by those be­
longing to the classes of ’82 and ’83.  The foun­
tain was given to the College by ’83.  The students’ 
boarding club association was organized 
through 
the efforts of men belonging to the same classes.

It was frequently appealed to in moments of exhuberance; it tolled 
the funeral of students and teacher; but finally it lost its voice on account of a se­

School Friendships

Eduard Christian Lindemann, ’11

Long, long ago I left thee,

School of my care-free days ;

Of much hast thou bereft me,

Cold world with thy sterner ways.

Oft, oft in sunny dreamland 
I romp the rolling green,

And awake in the real land

On scenes my dream hath not seen.

Hard, hard waxes the battle,

And dark often shadows the crown;

Then through the ceaseless rattle

Come songs of quaint college town.

Blest, blest the rugged school life—
Its memories that comfort so;

And blessed be our world strife

Through which the memories glow.

Dear, dear to me, vale and dell,

Thy every path and view,

Elders, halls where wisdom fell,

And deep friendships that I knew.

Deep, deep I love those school friends— 

Teachers and workers-to-be.

Their memory to me lends

M ore strength my duty to see.

Faint, faint, my classmates calling,

And the campus crowds once more.

Shadows of night are falling

While we gather as of yore.

Sweet, sweet is my life’s ending;

Mine is a blessing so rare;
For school friendships are blending 

With His, and there is no care..

History of the Class of 1911

Louise Graham Kelley, Historian

N the month of September in the year 1907, four hundred and two 
inexperienced young people left their paternal abodes and turned 
their trembling footsteps toward the metropolis known as College- 
ville.  During their first week there it rained nearly all of the time, 
and many were the tears of homesickness which they added to 
those poured forth by the elements.  After the flood had cleared 
away, they marched bravely forth to battle.  The first object 
which came in the way happened to be the Class of 1910.  The occasion was the 
annual class rush; and contrary to expectations, 1911 won in everything but the

freshman year, and we welcomed the vacation time as a reward for our labors.

September came again and we gladly returned to grace these pleasant halls and 
the fourteen miles of cement sidewalk.  Again we fought for the class honor in 
the rush, and again we were victorious, it being the first time that the freshmen 
had failed to defend their banner.  Another way in which the class became promin­
ent was by instituting a new custom. 
In October of this sophomore year, a bar­
becue was held in front of Wells Hall, at which the band, the ox sandwiches and 
the cider were much in evidence.

During the middle of November a predominance of red was noted upon our sub­
dued and quiet campus, due to the appearance of the new maroon and blue sopho­
more sweater vests.  We still held our own in athletics and won from the freshmen

some, that many sophomores paid Judge Wiest, of Lansing, a social call to listen 
to an interesting talk by him upon “The Proper Method of Greasing a Track, ” or 
“How to Escape When Caught.” A few of the number, having been reared in 
Puritan homes, admitted that they already had a speaking acquaintance with the 
subject.  A couple of weeks later these same never-tell-a-lie (unless the truth won’t 
help you) people packed their worldly possessions in a red bandana handkerchief 
and moved outside the city limits where the excitement was not so intense.

The spring term passed by, all too quickly, and we were soon saying  Good­

bye” to our friends, and shaking the campus dust from our shoes.

It was with great anticipation that we returned in the fall, this time as juniors. 
That mean’t many things, chief among them to be the Junior Hop, which eclipsed 
any which had ever been given before.  The event took place in the Masonic Tem­
ple at Lansing, and consisted of a banquet, toasts announced by the invincible 
Jimmie from Pittsburg, and the dance following.  Another epoch of this same 
year was Night Cap Night, in charge of the juniors.

The year had passed and vacation, and only one more year of school lay ahead of 

us.  So we returned with deeper feelings than ever before.

“I wouldn’t be an angel, for angels have to sing,
I’d rather be a Senior and never do a thing. ”

The Class of 1911, however, has not been the kind which never does a thing. 
It 
started out with vigor in the fall of 1910 by gaining the class championship in foot­
ball.  At a memorable class meeting in January it was decided to wear caps and 
gowns at stated intervals during the last half of the spring term.  The .class of last 
year started the custom and we intend to further it, with the wish that future 
classes shall do the same.

The last milestone has now been reached and we must separate at the crossroads. 
There we may look back into the past where only the memories of what has gone 
before remain, never to be forgotten as long as life remains.

The Class of 1912 in History

By Edwin Smith

LOOK into our freshman account book reveals an entrance 
reading like this: 
“Oct. 11, 1908.  To 1 Jersey, lost in Class
Rush________$2.50,” and this item recalls how our “Fresh”
foresight was not of collegiate standard and allowed “Cort” to 
take a strategic slide, losing for us our first Class Rush and giv­
ing us a growing indignation. An indignant sentiment in a class 
is not commendable, but there is nothing like it to stir up a class spirit and make a 
class pull together. So in this outburst we felt the first revival of a languishing 
class spirit that had been born in the month of October of the previous year when 
we made “Bob” Evans our president. Our indignation could not stay long with 
us, for soon we showed our metal in a real midnight battle that gave us a silent 
triumph—silent to Prexy, for a trusty moon kept a close watch over our Sherlock 
Holmes; and his protecting banquet.

Hazing cannot go amiss of any class and our share'was served a la carte; _ but 
our freshman president, “Ikey” Jewell, was the first to be honored by receiving 
the now customary token of amnesty endowed the tormented class at the annual 
Barbecue, this being the first occasion for showing the spirit of peaceful and pro­
gressive motives, for which the class has ever since stood. 

'

Clean and fighting athletes have been representative of our class , and, aside from 
supporting the Varsity well, our class teams have not suffered. 
In both our fresh­
man and sophomore years championships in baseball were given the 1912 Nines, 
while every year has seen us strong competitors in basketball and football.

Though two nights of vigilance were given in posting and guarding summons to 
freshmen to meet us m combat, after we had advanced to our station of a sopho­
more class and were under the leadership of “Scotty” Orr, the Rush itself showed 
that our class had lost all characteristics of a belligerent nature, while its energies 
were being spent for the advancement of the college at large.

The nature of the Barbecue which we tendered to the college exemplified this, 
and even yet memories of the ox and cider are recalled by the clang of a belf re­
freshing in our mind the events connected with “Pa” Baker’s course in bell-mak­
ing; how it started out vigorously when injury came to the college toller, lasted 
for three bells, and then ended m a game of hide and seek.

Class initiative has not been so ostentatious with us as with some that have pre­
ceded, but seldom has its impeccable influence been so strongly felt at M. A. C. 
It was such class initiative that laid aside petty class and 
in her class activities. 
faculty prejudices and aided the class of-1911 in exploiting a Junior-Hop in un­
precedented peace and pleasure,—establishing a real Collegiate custom.  However, 
the cleverest initiative of our career was brought out in the details of our “J”-Hop 
on February 24th,51911—the one and only date that is to be incorporated in our 
history.  We shall remember this date, for with it comes memories of an event 
that stir within the minds of all who attended reminiscences that transform the 
Masonic Temple into a garden of enjoyment; a refreshing retreat where we once 
tarried while on our college road, and the recollection holds us for an indulgent 
moment to review the vision.

It was this same class initiative that led Verne Branch, our junior year president*, 
to call a class meeting which summoned from our resources of energy the determin­
ation to give to the college a genuine “J”-Annual, making it a year book instead 
of a triennial.  The success or failure of this, it is not for us to chronicle, but in its 
purpose we are as sincere as we have endeavored to be in all advancements of the 
collegiate standards of our Alma Mater.

History of Class of 1913

By L. S. Storms

N the nineteenth day of September, 1909, there was enrolled at 
M. A. C. the largest freshman class in the history of the institu­
tion.  This Class of 1913 was welcomed most heartily by the fac­
ulty and the students, and well might they so receive her, for the 
past two years of work have proven she is worthy of attention.
1913 has been prominent in all college and class activities. Her 
strength and class spirit were first made manifest by winning the 
rush with T 2.  While yet wearing the little brown cap, she placed six men on 
the varsity football squad: Hill, Carey, Riblet, Woodley, Montfort and Davis. 
Further contributions were made to the school’s athletic prominence in the persons 
of Chamberlin, in 1910 basketball, and three record breakers on that year’s track 
team; Vesper, with the hammer; Shaw, in the pole vault and hurdles, and Lord, 
in the running high jump.  Then in the spring term could be seen five more of 
her men: Harvey,Haines, TeRoller, Knapp and Gorenflo, on the varsity base­
ball squadM With these honors, won in the administration of P. I. Allen, presi­
dent, the class burned her caps and came into the estate of the sophomore.

C|H. Taylor was chosen to guide the destinies of 1913 for the year TO-’ll. 
The winning of the rush with ’14 was a fitting head for the year’s succession of 
"\Vith the close of the football season the school recognized the gridiron 
triumphs. 
ability of Hill, Montfort and Riblet by awarding them their monograms, and that 
of Pingle, Morelock, Davis and Gorenflo by the official R. 

>

This year ’13 was also represented in college debate and oratory.  The team 
thirteeners,  Myers and 
chosen to debate with Alma was composed mostly of 
Fletcher, while Wilcox was one of the team in the Ypsilanti debate.  Pick- 
ford participated in the annual oratorical contest.

But aside from that loyalty shown by her activity in college athletics and debate, 
1913 has nearly abolished the confiscation of tufts of freshman hair and the shedding 
of baby blood, thereby demonstrating her adherence to the principles embodied in 
the acts of the student council.

The progressive spirit was shown by 1913, she being the first class to give a 

sophomore party—an innovation which promises to become a custom.

So, having in these past years so nobly acquitted herself, with a progressive 
spirit to sustain her and sound principles to guide her, the Class of 1913 enters 
upon the duties of the junior.

History of the Class of 1914

By N. W. Mogge

C HE freshman class was organized Monday afternoon, September 

26, 1910, in the lecture room of the Chemical Building.  Presi­
dent G. V. Branch of the junior class called the meeting to order 
and presided over it during the election of officers.  Mr. Branch 
also gave us some information about the Class Rush and wished us 
good luck on behalf of the junior class?

September 29, 1910. The long expected sophomore poster made its appearance, 
and the next morning we were able to read a list of our crimes and offenses.  The 
poster left us all in a determined frame of mind for the rush on the following day.
The freshmen spent 
the morning in resurrecting old clothes and were early ready for the fray.  A black 
cross adorned our foreheads so that we could be easily recognized.  Che football 
rush was very evenly I ought, but in the extra period of time, allowed after a tie 
had been declared, the sophomores were declared the victors.  The canvas pulls, 
owing to our lack of experience, were easy victories for the Class of 13. 
I he train­
ing received the year before stood the “sophs” in good stead in the tug-of-war and 
made a T 3 victory.  The flag rush was won by the freshmen, thus giving us some 
consolation in the midst of our defeats.

October 1, 1910.  The day of the rush had at last arrived. 

The week following the rush was taken up with nightly affrays in which we had 
little hope of victory, being greatly outnumbered in every case, Visits to Abbot
Hall and free haircuts were featured that week.

October 28, 1910.  The night before the Notre Dame game we were guests at the 
annual barbecue, given by the Class of 1913.  Mr. Taylor, m a brief address pre­
sented the butcher knife to our president.  The barbecue was a great success and 
the ox roast and cider were enjoyed greatly by all the freshmen.  May the barbe­
cue given by the Class of 1914 be as successful as that given by the present sopho­
more class.  This night marked the close of hostilities between the two classes.

November 24, 1910.  Our freshmen caps were put away until the spring term. 

This was a decided relief during the cold weather at the end of the fall term.

December 16, 1910. School was over for the term. There were no signs of sor­
row shown by any of the freshmen and most of them got out of Lansing that day.
January 3, 1911. We were back on the job again with our “cons” out of the way. 
Several of our classmates did not return to college, but we who returned came back 
with an increased desire for work and study. .

In athletics the Class of 1914 has taken an active part.  The All-Fresh football 
team, composed mostly of freshmen, besides giving the Varsity team some good 
practice, played a schedule of games losing only to tlie Michigan first year men. 
One of our classmates distinguished himself by playing a star game at guard for the 
Varsity team.  The class team also made a good record m football.

The Varsity basketball team might well be called a freshmen team, as there were 
four freshmen on the squad and all did good work.  Despite this loss of the best 
material, the class basketball team played a sensational game and conquered the 
sophs in a battle for first place in the inter-class series.

To compile the individual achievements of all the members of the class is impos­
It is sufficient to say, however, that freshmen can be found in every branch 

sible. 
of college activity, whether it be athletics, debating, or even 

fussing.

This concludes the short college history of the Class of 1914. May each and 
every freshman be proud of our record, proud of our class, and above all, pioud of 
our college.

History of the Class of 1915

Herman W. Erde, Class Historian

VERYTHING, no matter how small, has a history. Every per­
son, and even the very trees and rocks .about us, could they but 
speak, have something to say of themselves. They have some­
thing to tell of what has happened to them in the past. So it is 
of little surprise that we too, the sub-freshman class of M. A. C., 
or the “Baby of the College,” as we are sometimes termed, 
have a history and have something to tell about our doings since we first entered 
upon our famous career.

September 20th, 1910, saw the early arrivals of the Class of 1915 put in their 
appearance.  Stretched out in a long line in front of Prexy’s office, they stood 
waiting to have their applications favorably acted upon.  Fortunately most were 
accepted, and two days later the class numbered one hundred and fifty.

Coming to college was a sudden change in life for many members of our class, 
and they found it hard at first. The Preps, however, had come with the determin­
ation to win, and they soon overcame all obstacles by adapting themselves to their 
new life. Thus it was that the wearing of the black-sheep, peanut-like Prep cap 
was regarded by the Preps as a thorn rather than a star on their crowns. But, 
with great reluctance and grumbling, they finally consented to don that distinguish­
ing headgear. There are many interesting stories connected with these Caps. 
In 
the early days of the year there was a great deal of rushing to and from town. On 
several of these occasions a number of our classmen, in their wild rush to catch the 
M. U. It. car, forgot to change caps. The humiliation and chagrin they suffered 
upon discovering this fact, after they had strutted proudly up and down the main 
streets of Lansing, is indescribable. Let it suffice here to say that they lost no 
time in getting back to the campus.

On October 20th, 1910, the sub-freshmen met in chapel and organized the meek, 
yet not overlooked, sub-freshmen class. A football manager was elected and work 
was soon begun to drill the green material into working order.  There was but 
a short time left for practice.  The other classes had long before begun to pre­
pare themselves for the inter-class series, The team, however, had so determined 
to make a showing that, with but two weeks’ practice, they were able to hold the 
freshmen to a 0 to 0 score.  Several days later they lined up against the strong 
sophomore team.  The sophs were too strong, but the Preps had a chance to show 
their mettle.

The beginning of the new year saw all of us back, with the exception of a few 
whose last term’s grade was designated by the sixth letter of the alphabet, And, 
although the class suffered slightly in membership by this process of elimination, it 
has gained rather than lost in strength. This elimination process has taught us 
that there is such a thing as “the survival of the fittest. ” The fittest returned 
fresh and healthy, and with minds set upon doing good work.

Among the first things the class did was to elect a basketball manager. 

In this 
case we were more fortunate than in football. Practice was soon begun, and with 
their first game against the seniors, the Preps showed their calibre. Their victory 
over the seniors brought them the recognition they had so long waited for.

And now the sub-freshmen are peacefully sailing over the billows of mid-year, 
looking forward to the time when they can leave their little schooner and embark 
on the big “College Liner” “Freshmen.” They are anxiously waiting for the 
time when they can rightfully exchange the little grey cap with the black button 
on it for the little, more conspicuous, brown cap without a button on it.

Athletics at M. A. C.

HISTORY of athletics at M. A. C. in the past ten years may 
be said to be a history of Brewer; and.may be roughly divid- 
edftnto two periods—before Brewer and while Brewer was here.
As to the period before Brewer, little need be said. A glance 
at the football scores for the year 1902 will suffice as an ex­
ample. 
In that year the U. of M. defeated us by a score of 
119 to 0; and such schools as Albion and Kalamazoo College 
defeated us by safe margins. Baseball and other sports made no 
better showing. One year our baseball team played three games and 
then disbanded^ having lost two of the three games.

With the advent of Brewer in September, 1903, there came at once a change for 
the better. Our teams improved and continued to improve thru the whole of 
Brewer’s career as coach at M. A. C. 
In that time we have held, year after year, 
Michigan championships in basketball and track, and have been strong contenders 
against some of the best teams of the west in these sports. 
In 1904 our baseball 
team won a championship title by virtue of its victories over the Universities of 
Wisconsin and Toronto. Our greatest triumph, however, has been in football. 
For no less than eight successive years we have upheld the record of “No defeat 
on the home field.”

Each year games with stronger and strongër teams have been scheduled, but 
never has College field witnessed a defeat in football; even the U. of M. failing to 
defeat us when they played on the home field in 1909. A total of 1918 points to 
our opponents’ 234 is the record of football scores under Brewer.

So fnuch for mere scores ! Altho we have admired and respected Brewer, the 
coach, yet it is Brewer, the man, who has held our affection. For it was Brewer, 
the man, who has instilled into players and rooters that “Never say die” spirit and 
that fair play which has urged to victory our great teams of the past few years. 
It was Brewer, the man, who constantly kept before us an ideal of what true ath­
letic spirit is; he has taught us the real meaning of those words, “A good loser.” 
Those who heard Brewer speak at mass meetings will remember his words before 
thé 1909 Notre Dame game, when he said, “Boys, we’re going to show them that 
we have a great team. That team of ours is going in to fight to the last ditch. 
We may lose ; but win or lose, let’s show them that M. A. C. has the cleanest, 
finest and most gentlemanly bunch of sportsmen that they have ever played against.
/Vnd the school followed his ad- 
Be game,—and treat the other fellows right. ” 
Notre Dame what real enthusiastic
vice, showing the people of South Bend and 
rooting and support is like.

It is such spirit that has made athletics at M. A. C. what they are at the present 
time. We have much to thank Brewer for, but by far the most important thing 
is that spirit,—the spirit that puts every man behind his team, makes every man 
cheer, while his voice lasts, for team and school, no matter if they are defeated, 
and makes every one remember that, win or lose, M. A. C. is game to the core.

The Football Season of 1910

IHE football season of 1910 will long be remembered by M. A. C. 
students as one of the best in the athletic history of the College. 
For the first time eminent football critics of the west have recog­
nized the ability of the gridiron athletes 
coached by Chester JL. Brewer at M. A. C.
Four members of the team were given 

recognition by AYalter H. Eckersall in his 
summary of all-western football for 1910. Exelby, the 
great fullback, and Baldwin, the star guard, were placed 
in their respective positions on Eckersall’s second all-west­
ern team, while Hill and Campbell were given honorable 
mention. Coaches Yost and Redden of the U. of M. accorded Exelby a place on
the first team, and in all probability had Eckersall seen 
“Ex.” in action, his choice might have fallen in the 
same direction.

To all interested in the welfare of athletics at M. A. C. 
it seems gratifying to see “Michigan Aggies” named 
along with such institutions as the Universities of Michi­
gan, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Illinois and Indiana in pick­
ing an all-western team.

When school opened in 
the fall and the first call for 
candidates was given, half 
a hundred huskies appeared 
on the field, each one willing 
to do his share of hard work 
to help develop a winning team. Out of this number 
five had been members as regulars of previous varsity teams.

During the season the varsity played seven games, scor­

ing a total of 170 points to their opponents’ 8. The first two games were marked 
by some brilliant, but erratic playing. Detroit College was defeated by a 34 to 4 
score and Alma succeeded in holding us to 11 to 0.

However, these were early season games and the defects uncov­

ered in them were rapidly remedied in the daily practise.
Every man was doing his best to make a good showing 
against Michigan, and when the fifteenth of October 
came, it found eleven of the best men that 
ever battled for the green and white ready to 
try their skill against Yost ’ s warriors. Ac­
companied by one thousand of the livest 
rooters that ever gave “Hat-a-ta-thrat, ” . 
together with the College band, they 
marched to Ferry Field.

That day marked a change in the playing of the team. Sup­
ported by the rooters, they repeatedly held Michigan for downs, 
tho on several of these occasions a score seemed almost inevitable. This was their 
chance to prove their worth. When the second half began, the new fighting spirit 
made possible a field goal and, almost immediately after, Hill tore thru the whole

[101]

Michigan team for a touchdown, which was disallowed by the umpire because of 
an alleged act of holding by some M. ACC. player. Although the score at the 
end of the game was 6 to 3 in favor of the U. of M., yet in the eyes 
of M. A. C. rooters it was a victory. The following week Lake 
Forest was easily disposed of to the tune of 37 to 0, and all attention 
was turned toward the game with Notre Dame.

The twenty-ninth of October saw Longman’s eleven 
husky Irishmen march on to College field resolved to re­
peat the score of ’09, and to have the honor of being the 
first to defeat M. A. C. on their home field. Equally, 
on the other hand! our team was 
doggedly determined 
to defend 
that record and to wipe out the 

sting of defeat administered the season before at Notre 
Dame. From the very first it was evident that M. A. C. ’s 
was the better team. Every man did his part, and as a 
team showing that “never die” spirit, they left the field

victors by the score of 17 to 0. Every one who had seen the 
game agreed with Longman when he said, “There is no team in 
the west that can beat M. A. C. on their own field.”

The men coming out this contest with no serious injuries, there 
was the Marquette game less than a week away. The team was 
given a rousing send-off at the depot by a crowd of enthusiastic 
rooters, and they carried with them to Mil­
waukee that characteristic fighting spirit 
which had already carried them so cred­
itably thru two hard contests. When 
the final whistle ended the game, that 
same spirit had made them the con­

querors of Juneau’s much heralded team, 
i Two weeks later Olivet, with one of the best teams in

the M. I. A. A., came to College field for the closing game of the 
season. M. A. C. started in at the very first to do things, and 
when the smoke of battle had cleared 
away we could count M. A. C.’s end 
of the score in the sixties.

IRISES
ym

Credit for the great showing made 
in the football world during the sea­
son can not be ascribed to one cause 
alone. To Coach Brewer for his 
persevering example, to each mem­
ber of the eleven for his individual work as a part of the great foot­
ball machine, to the Scrubs for their faithful work on the field in 
daily practice, and to the rooters who so loyally supported and 
cheered the team to victory,—to all of these too much credit can 
not be given for the success of the football season of 1910.

The Squad

[103]

Class Games

NE of the most interesting features of the football season of 1910 
was the class games. They equalled the varsity games in rivalry 
between the various teams and their supporting classes. The 
Freshmen, due to the fact that eleven of their best men were on 
the all-fresh team, were, although they put up a game fight, out of 
the race early in the season, as were the Preps. The Sophs defeat­
ed the Juniors and in turn were defeated by the Seniors in the last 
game of the season, after they had played them to a scoreless tie in a previous game. 
The Juniors came back strong after their one defeat, and held the Seniors to a tie 
in two encounters, and still remain undefeated by the champions. However, due 
to the lateness of the season, the championship was given to the Seniors.

Reserves
The word Reserves in its broadest meaning takes in two classes of football pien 
at M. A. C. First there are the men who are substitutes on the first team squad 
and accompany the varsity on their trips; then there are the second team men, 
who are familiarly known about the campus as the “Scrubs. ” This past season the 
Varsity was particularly fortunate in having capable substitutes. As only eleven 
men can play on the varsity football team, it necessitates that some excellent ma­
terial must sit on the bench and be ready to enter the game in the case of an 
emergency. This year M. A. C. had seven such men.

The “Scrubs” are a very large factor in the success of the season’s work. Their 
faithfulness in helping to develop a winning team is not rewarded by anywhere near, 
the measure of credit it should receive. They were even denied the satisfaction of 
defeating or playing a rival team by the non-appearance of Olivet on the date 
Scheduled for the game. The men were coached by “Tiny” Parker, and due to 
his coaching and their hard work they always gave the varsity a hard scrimmage. 
So when we sing the praise of the football teams of 1910, let us not forget the 
faithful “Scrubs.”

All Fresh Team
This year, for the first time, M. A. C. had an all-fresh team on the football 
¡squad. Coached by “Chuck” Ashley, the first year men were developed into a 
machine that could hold its own with the best college and prep school teams in the 
state. On this team they were learning the rudiments of college football and were 
being trained as material for the varsity during the next season. During the fall 
they played three games.

The first game, with Mt. Pleasant, resulted in a six to six tie. The second was 
with the U. of M. Freshmen. 
In this game they were greatly outweighed and 
were pitted against a team of the best prep and high school stars that ever entered 
Michigan. Although they put up a stiff fight against these odds, they were de­
feated. 
In the last game of the year they easily outclassed D. U. S. and won 
handily. Throughout the season they displayed the necessary ginger and willing­
ness to work to make a good team.

BASKETBALL

1911 Basketball

HE basketball season started with the opening of school after the 
Christmas vacation. As is usual, due to the lack oi a good gymnas­
ium floor to practice on, the team had to begin several weeks later 
than most other schools. Capt. Busch had thrust upon him, until 
the arrival of Coach Macklin, not only the duties of captain, but 
also those which usually fall to the coach. The team, therefore, 
in the first game of the season was beaten on the home floor by 
Spauldings of Detroit. They showed the lack of good consistent 
practice in their team play. However, upon the arrival of Coach 
Macklin a new spirit seemed to enter into their play and they put up 
a stiff fight thru the rest of the season. Hard luck seemed their lot, 
for they suffered first one accident and then another. Although they 
lost the majority of the games played, the fact must 
be considered that only four games were played on 
the home floor; three of these were won; while the 
games away from here were with some of the best 
teams in the country and upon floors strange to our 
team.

Sickness and accident also played havoc with the 
individual members of the team. Capt. Busch 
had his hand broken, disabling him for the rest of 
the season. Chamberlin and Goss were the only 
men to take part in every game. At center Cham­

berlin was not a star at jumping, but he was in the game every 
minuté, fighting until the last whistle ended the game. Beside 
his defensive ability, he was good at dropping the ball in the 
basket. At forward Capt. Busch played a star game until dis­
abled, while Hoff’and Gauthier were exceedingly active in their 
floor work. 
In the guard positions we were well supplied with material. Hanish, the 
veteran guard of several seasons, and Duthie were a pair who worked together for 
good protection to our basket; but scholastic work kept them out of the game for 
a part of the time. Goss proved himself a star both on defense and at shooting 
baskets. Fortunately we were well supplied with good substitutes in Pattison, 
Dodge and Bateson, Dodge showing an ability in the games in which he played 
that promises to land him a regular berth on the varsity for the next season.

Interest in the several teams was

at high tide at all times and good crowds witnessed every game. 
After the Seniors had lost games to the Juniors, Freshmen and 
Preps, and the Juniors were defeated by the Sophs and Freshmen, 
the class championship seemed to lie between the teams of 1913
and 1914.

The Sophs won the first game by a one point margin, after a hard struggle in the 

first game of the season. The 
second game, a very live contest, 
went to the Freshmen. Then 
it was that the Sophs were not 
quite so sure of wearing 
the 
championship sweaters to be 
awarded to the winning team.
The deciding game, perhaps the 
hardest 
fought contest ever 
played in the Armory, was a de­
cisive victory for the Freshmen 
by a score of 25 to 15.

This year, for the first time, 
the girls of the institution had 
organized class teams. Several

Baseball in 1910

JHE baseball season of 1910 was opened on College field April 16 
with Olivet. 
“Slab” Warner, star pitcher for the Lansing South­
ern League team, was secured to coach the team during the first 
part of the season. To start work with, he had four regular vars­
ity men, several promising substitutes from the 1909 squad, and 
some excellent material from the freshman class.

The opening game was lost to Olivet, 5 to 1, which was not 
a very auspicious opening, but it showed the team’s weak spots which were soon 
remedied. The team appeared in their new suits of a medium 
gray with blue trimmings, blue caps and stockings, which together 
with the blue coats, gave them a very classy appearance. The 
new bleachers that had been erected along the first base line added 
greatly to the seating capacity and the comfort of the spectators.
Fourteen games were played, the team winning eight and losing 
six of this number. They scored 66 times to their opponents 45. 
Of the nine regular men four had a batting average of 300 or 
better, and only two fell below the 200 mark.

They held Notre Dame and the U. of M. to very low scores, 
beat two of the best teams in the Ohio big six, and won a ma­
jority of the games played with members of the M. I. A. A. 
The team was well balanced. They were particularly well sup­
plied with good battery men, Busch, Pattison and Weston being 
stars on the mound, while very few catchers were better than 
TeRoller. The infield with “Scotty” Orr, Mills, “Cort” and Rains was especially 
well balanced. 
In the outfield, Capt, Baker, Harvey and Weston were hard to 
beat, while in Gorenflo and Dahlstrom they had two good substitutes when 
needed. Pattison, who had not even pitched on the class team in ’09, became one 
of the best College pitchers of the season. Busch was handicapped throughout 
the season by SicknessJjjwhile Weston’s record shows that he had the goods. The 
big sticks of Mills and Harvey were great factors in the success of the team, to­
gether with the all around work of each man, for every man was good in his position.

Track Review of 1910
AS IN the other athletic departments, so in track it can be said that M. A. C. 

had a successful season. 
It is true that the team did not win every meet, 
but they made some enviable records and gained many honors for them­
selves and for the college. With a few varsity men as a nucelus to begin with, 
Coach Brewer developed several stars from the new material and obtained a well 
balanced team. During the season several college records ' were broken, which 
goes to show that some great track work was done.

In the indoor meet with Ypsi not much interest was aroused, but the Coach was 
able to get a line on the new material with which he had to work during the spring. 
Score: M. AS C. 48^ points, Ypsi 28^.

The outdoor season was opened formally with the varsity meet 
between the different classes. This brought out some very good 
material and was very closely contested.  The largest number of 
points was won by the men of the class of 1912.  They won the 
relay and by doing this captured the meet.

On the day of May 28 the track team, consisting of 18 men, was 
sent to South Bend to represent the college in the annual track and 
field meet with Armour Institute and Notre Dame.  Notre Dame 
won the meet with a total of 62 points, M. A. C. was second with 
43 and Armour third with 12. No disgrace went with the defeat, 
however, as the winning team later won the conference title from 
the very best schools of the west.

M. A. C. easily won the triangular meet with Alma and Oli­
vet on College Field. 
Several intercollegiate records went 
smash at this time. Gold medals were given to all the men who 
had broken a college record and the regulation monograms to all men winning a first 
in the Alma-Olivet-M. A. C. meet, and to those winning a point at South Bend.

Cross Country
The past season saw a growth in the interest in cross country running. For 

the first time the men were to have a chance to try their skill against the 
teams of other schools. The local runs were made in good time, and every 
man worked hard to make the team that was to represent M. A. C. for the season.
The first event was the run at Holland with Hope, and several other teams. Six 
men made the run for M. A. C. and they brought home the trophy presented to 
the winners. There were 30 entries, the first five men on each team counting. 
The places won by the first five M. A. C. men were Tillotson first, Perkins fourth, 
11. A. W arner eighth, Rosen eleventh, Geib fourteenth. The score by points was 
M. A. C. 39, Olivet 58, Grand Rapids “Y” 71 and Muskegon High 80.

The Interscholastic

One of the most important features of the track season at M. A. C. is the annual 
interscholastic meet for the athletes from the various high schools and prep, schools 
of the state. For the last two or three years it surpassed the Ann Arbor meet in 
popularity. More athletes have attended and more schools have been represented 
than at the University meet.

Every event brings out some star performer and many of the records established 

equal the college records.

The fifth annual meet was held on College Field May 14. The surprises of the 
meet were the showings made by the smaller schools from upstate, particularly 
Shelby and Traverse City.

Cap Night

“For the goblin’s gwine ter get you, if you don’t watch out!”

Goblins don’t usually walk around much in the early evening in the middle of 
June, but there was one night about a year ago that a crowd of something that 
might have passed for ghosts turned out over at the Hollow and danced around a
crackling, rip-roaring fire for a little 
while. No, they weren’t real ghostes 
at all; just freshmen and preps in night 
shirts jubilating about the burning of 
their caps. That’s all, unless you in­
clude those upper classmen who came 
to watch and help in the noise.

And in thinking it over we must ad­
mit that the Seniors’ first-time-on-the- 
campus caps and gowns were a sort of 
a drawing card too—and the Juniors’ 
white sweaters—and the fireworks and 
the Anvil Chorus. That all helped. But the big thing was not the speeches nor 
the burning of the big fat senior books, nor anything like that. 
It was just to see 
those four hundred crazy goblins howl and dance around that fire, and then rise up 
and get rid of their whole year’s feeling of “under dog” by flinging their little 
lids into the fire. For it was cap night.

4‘A Tragedy”

A man did woo a gentle maid,
A sweet M. A; C. grad,

Who’d studied much in cookery,
(At least they said she had.)

The doctor smiled—a sad, sad smile.

“Ah me! ’tis plain to see,
Instead of killing him outright 

You’ve killed him—by ‘degree’. ”

Now when these two at last were wed 

A happy home they planned,

But he did quit these earthly shores,

’Ere one short year they’d spanned.

The doctor shook his noble head 
And quoth, “I’d not be rude,

But lady fair, I plainly see,

He died from lack of food. ’ ’

At this the maid did weep afresh;
“Oh doctor dear,” said she,

“Each thing that 1 did let him eat 

W as just the right degree.

“And all the bacteria were killed,

The dishes, sterilized;

And everything was thrown away 
In which I germs surmised. ”

Our College Spirit
THE individuality of our college spirit is as marked as the individuality of 

every son who treads the campus. Where can you match our democracy ? 
Where can you find an institution in which every student is so embued with 

the spirit which, through victory or defeat, never says die.

A stranger, on even a short visit, could not help but be impressed with one charac­
teristic of ours, the “Hello” spirit.^ It is “Hello” to everybody we meet, and as often 
as we meet. This expresses the spirit of our democracy. Plebian and patrician 
alike “Hello” to each other and work side by side with never a hint of a breach 
between them. Of course we sometimes find one of the other kind butting his way 
into our midst,—but woe betide that fellow! The M. A. C. man keeps the shears 
sharp, and the glue pot full, while the watery depths of the Red Cedar always

M. A. C. 17, Notre Dame 0

hold a welcome for such as these. This kind of fellow is usually one of the verdant 
type. He either speedily changes his attitude, or takes an extended journey into 
the parts from whence he came.

Perhaps the one thing which, more than any other, encourages the democratic 
spirit among us is our dormitory life. Living as a big family, but each keeping 
house for himself gives us a rare combination of independence and brotherhood. 
What is ours is our neighbor’s and no questions asked. His pipe burns our Bull 
Durham, and we patronize his bookshelves instead of the Co-op.

We study and smoke, and smoke and study, bottling up the buoyant spirit of 
youth as long as the corks will hold. But whenever the pressure becomes too 
great, and a safety-valve will not give vent to our pent up spirits we blow up the 
whole bottle. This is the way it usually goes:

Someone is seen in a third story window at Williams. He is yelling at the top of 
his voice. What he says no one knows, or cares. His appearance is the signal for

[123]

some other sufferer to add his wails from the regions below. Others follow, and 
the safety-valve is taxed to its utmost. Vocal chords alone will not suffice,—bells, 
fog-horns, whistles and many unpatented contrivances add to the Bedlam. Wil­
liams is blowing up! * Listen! An echo sounds! Gradually, above the clang and 
clamor, there floats across the Valley of O’Gara, a low, rumbling sound. Wells 
also is in danger! Williams merely whispers when Wells and its hundreds explode. 
What sounded like man’s supreme effort is drowned as in the exubrance of the 
Infernal regions, Hark! Even the calm and quietude of Abbot has been ruffled, 
and its dignified voice is for once unrestrained as it adds its volume to the 
constantly increasing din.

The spirit reaches Faculty Row. Dr. Blaisdell finds he can no longer commune 
with the shades of Shakespere, Tennyson, Browning and other unfortunates who 
missed these experiences. Dean Shaw forgets the rest of that story he was com­
posing. Prof. Barrows even stops in the middle of his famous fish romance; and 
way ups on the hill, Prexy is roused from his after dinner pipe. He forgets all the 
dignity of his position as he sprints across the Drill Grounds in order to get there 
before everything is over.

College Spirit! Yes, College Spirit all over the Campus,—only one spot that 
does not teem with it; silence reigns only where rules The Dean. The “Building” 
is too strongly built and well regulated.

All’s over. The corks have been tightened in again. Ward A has gone back 
to its Five Hundred, Williams has gone to bed, and the rest of the Campus is hard 
at work. All is serene on the banks of the Cedar.

This might well illustrate the pervading spirit of youth, a spirit possessed in a 
degree by every college. We possess another, deeper than this, and stronger far, 
in its effect upon our manhood, a spirit whose inception and growth has been in the 
last half-decade. 
“He has 
done much for M. A. C. ”

It is the spirit that actuates those of whom we say. 

W ay back in the dim and distant past, while we were still in knee-pants, our 
In fact, it was hardly to be envied, and we 
college spirit was somewhat different. 
would not mention it now except to draw a contrast. 
In athletics we were holding 
a precarious position among the lesser institutions of the state. We had the repu­
tation of possessing the spirit of the Buffalo water-front during a strike. Needless 
to say such a spirit precluded prosperity and success.

Then came a Man. He had personality and a spirit that at once pitted him 
against the old regime. He had no use for a “tough,” and in all the years he
was with us none of his players ever 
uttered a curse in his hearing. He 
insisted that the athlete be also a 
gentleman. He insisted upon clean 
playing and fair methods.

This spirit in athletics spread over 
the rest of the school, and won for our 
peerless coach the love and esteem of 
all M. A. C. To him alone is due 
this great change of spirit, which has 
not only raised us out of the class of 
minor colleges to one of national athletic rank, but has also become the spirit 
of the school itself. 
If M. A. C. can leave us no other heritage, she will make 
us rich beyond estimation by giving us the spirit of Chester L. Brewer.

Nineteen Ten Summer Forestry Camp
/AN the afternoon of June 28 twenty-four Sophomore foresters, hot and dusty 
m after a nine mile ride in a springless wagon thru the jack pine plains of Ros- 
I 
common County, arrived at the M. ACC. forestry camp on the north shore 

of Higgin’s Lake.

Here we found our quarters in the bunk house, or in the row of tents (the more 

fortunate securing the latter).  We 
were soon settled, and that evening 
partook of our first meal in the long, 
low log cabin where we were to answer 
the grub pile call for the next few 
weeks.

The very first morning there we 
were rounded up in the little class room 
and Wiley Wendt started us on a 
three weeks’ course in mastering the 
uses of level, transit and plane table.

Few of us will forget those blister­
ing hot days in the field, fighting 
deer-flies and adjusting those trouble­
some little bubbles on the transit—or patiently holding the picket out there on 
Station “A” in the boiling sun.  Lucky was the man whose turn it was to keep 
notes in the shade.

steady ‘ ‘tap-tap-tap’ ’ of bugs on the out­

making (mingled with the strains of a 
violin) from the bunk house.  Because 
of the continual sounds of debauchery 
from the bunk house, it became evident 
to the tent dwellers that something 
should be done. 
So, under the able 
leadership of Pete Bancroft, the “Star­

direction of4 ‘Boss Baker’ ’ and “Helper 
Gaylord” we spent the long, hard days 
getting a little knowledge of forest 
mensuration, commonly'walking four 
or five miles to work and back at night.
The coming of the mail became a 
more anticipated event,, and we began 
to long to return to civilization. At 
last we had our final exam. August 11 
and nearly all, left for home that day.

bunch that went around with the 
badge of some holy order (a black 
cross) smeared on their baby faces 
put up some good competition along 
that line.

It’s funny what a curious collec­
tion of folks that rush brought out. 
You never would have taken those 
gladiators for college students. Far, 
far be it from such—they looked 
more like a cross between a bunch 
of hod-carriers, football players, and 
(along towards the last) ragmen.

Of course they stood around and 
yelled a bit before they settled down 
to business. And just to make it interesting the eleveners and twelvers tore off a 
few for their particular protegees.
{r As to the rush—that’s history.
Anyway, 
the Sophs were handed 
the decision on the football affair 
(but there are still some Freshmen 
who can’t see how 
that worked 
out.) And then just to show how 
easy it was, the Sophs walked away 
with the canvas pull, after which a se­
lected company of favored Freshies 
was treated to the cooling applica­
tion of the waters of the Red Cedar.
You see those nasty Sophs tried to pull a rope right out of the Freshies’ hands, and

those boys wouldn’t let go.

Then, in the last stages of despair, 
the now forlorn fourteeners gathered 
around the rush elm. 
Someone 
popped a gun, and then the terrible 
thirteeners tried to get possession 
of a certain big chunk of canvas 
that was tied on that same tree.
About two minutes and thirty 
seconds after, the fashions took a 
decided trend toward the extreme 
decollete! As scrapping continued, 
they grew more so—until somebody 
thought things had gone far enough 
and just popped the pistol again. 
And then the thirteeners forgot they ever wanted that rag, and the Freshies took 
it home with them.  Final scoreThirteen, 13 points; Fourteen, 5 points.

Ann Arbor Trip

That was the all absorbing question for two 
weeks before the famous game was called.  The team trained hard, 
Brewer put them thru strenuous work; and everybody was excited and 

anxious as the time for the whistle approached.  And then one noon a paper was 
passed around at the clubs for the names of 
those who would go on the special and see the 

■HAT will the score be? 

game.  And it was filled with names, but not 
so full as the special was when finally ready to 
depart.

On the morning of the eventful day the 
crowds began to gather,* the band appeared, 
the crowd grew larger and then the team ap­
peared and the march down farm lane began— 
a yelling, happy, excited bunch with all con­
fidence in the team and all talking about a score of 6 to 0 for M. A. C. Arrived 
at Ann Arbor, the first thought was for something to eat.  And to satisfy this 
enormous hunger the eating places were filled to overflowing.  Then on Ferry 
Field our sections of the bleachers were filled with followers of “Fat” 
in his 
“Locomotive” and “Rat-a-ta-thrat” specialty.  And when the game was over, 
the officials said that M. A. C. was beaten and that the score was 6 to 3.  But we 
were almost satisfied, because our team had played them even.  Then came that 
trip homeward—the merry ones roaming the train from end to end and giving vent 
to song and story, the sleepy one lying curled up in the dark end of the car,—and 
It was a trip full of life and en­
then the water which came splashing onto him! 
joyment, one long to be remembered.

been just three barbecues at M. A. C.—and I was a Freshman when the 
first one started.  So I’ve seen ’em all.  But I can’t tell yet—“What is 
an M. A. C. barbecue?” My recollection of what happened the night before the 
Notre Dame game last fall goes something like this:

■HAT is an M. A. C. barbecue? Ask me an easy one, please.  There have 

“There goes the band! Come on, Bill! Hurry up; they’ve started.  Say,

“Say, that’s a full-sized fire, all right. 
Just 
That blaze must.be forty feet high. 
hear those Freshmen yell.  Right in their 
glory, ain’t they? Sure, I want a badge 
—here’s your nickel! Wish that band
would give us another tune.

“Calm down! Calm down! Can’t you 
hear he’s trying to announce a speaker. 
Yes—Brewer, Sec Brown, Pyke and Cortright, that’s how they come, and it’s a 
sure bet that they all talk about the game tomorrow.  And then Taylor will hand 
the knife to McGee, and after that we’ll have some feed.

“I’m starting to get hungry.  Wish they’d side-track the talk and hand out the 

beef.  This speaker’s the last, tho.  Guess I can wait.

“Here, Prep, get in your own line! Quit your crowding! Say, now, quit 
your pushin’, fellers. Ouch! Get off me feet, please? Now they’re moving ahead.
“That’s good beef all right, isn’t it? This is my third, and I’ve had four gallons 
of cider.  Guess I’ll go down to the fire; it’s warmer there.  Feels good, don’t it? 
Bet you it keeps right on burning till morning!”

Football Banquet
After playing so well with Michigan, after beating Notre D ame by the same 
score as M. A. C. was beaten by the year before, after playing an extremely hard 
game with Marquette and winning, the eleven must be toastedg To do this and to 
celebrate the fact that M. A. C. won all but one game of the football season, three 
hundred students gathered for the fourth annual football banquet.  The 
bunch gathered in the Union Literary House and when the banquet 
was announced they filed over to the banquet hall in Well’s and sat 
down to the last meeting at which Coach Brewer was to be present as 
Coach and Trainer of M. A. C. ’s winning teams.  After the eating 
part came the still more interesting one of toasts and speeches.  The 
familiar history of the season was once more related and was lived thru 
once more.  The team’s exploits were lauded, the funny things that 
had happened were recounted and laughed over.  And then, as the cigars burned 
shorter, next year’s team was made to order and another season’s happenings were 
prophesied.  The old men returning and the new material in sight were all care­
fully catalogued.

Best of all, just before all was over and another season was closed, a represen­
tative of the Student Council presented to Coach Brewer a gold watch upon the

as a whole and was given in remembrance of his nine years of faithful service for 
M. A. C.  And so ended another football season, and so passed from our midst a 
a much beloved coach and friend.

Junior H op
WHEN an event is planned for and looked forward to with great hopes for 

almost three college years and when it arrives at last and exceeds even 
your most extravagant expectations, surely such an event may be placed 
in the category of the unusal.  Such was our J Hop—the Hop of the Class of 1912.
The Masonic temple (as in years before) was the focal point toward which all at­
tention began to center in the late afternoon of February 24.  Decorated in box­
wood and festoons of French Immortelle, the halls served as a reception room from 
six o’clock until the banquet, the beginning of the festivities proper, was announced.

The tables were arranged at different angles with the sides of the room and each 
one seated from ten to fourteen.  At each end of these there was a candle with 
a dainty maroon shade with the block J and the “12” upon its sides.

True to the old class spirit of “M. A. C. first” and class afterward, the toasts 
in almost every instance paid tribute to our Alma Mater; and at the end, as the 
toastmaster closed the banquet with the verse:

Since now repast is over, while our hearts are full of glee,
While we are living out the dreams of whole years-Snearly three,
Shall Alma Mater be forgot?  A thousand noes! 
Now stand right up and drain the cup to dear old M. A. C.

say we;

all arose and “drained their cups to dear old M. A. C.”

The ball room on the floor above had been transformed into a veritable fairy 
apple orchard in full bloom, and it was to this wonderland that all repaired after 
the banquet.  To the music of the twelve-piece orchestra the time passed all too 
quickly, and joyfully the “Firefly dance,” the “Favor dance,” the “Casey Jones 
dance” and the many other features followed one another into the realm of the

A Plea for Appreciation

By Nelson Hall, ’14

Awful news is circulating,

’Round the campus now is drifting,

On the eve of this occasion,

Of the Junior celebration,

Famed afar, since time forgotten!

Source of joyful expectation !

Fatal words ! Oh, baleful meaning !

It is said in dear, old Lansing,

The supply of dress suits waneth;

Is it true?  Heart, cease not beating!

Thus a pall rests for a minute 

On the bustle and the hurry;

Cast in gloom, the noble Juniors 

Wander round with haggard features, 

Till some brain, with wondrous struggle, 

Brings to light a jewel, a thoughtlet, 

They do say that within Detroit,

There are togs for the whole outfit.

With a crash the tension endeth,

Heard from Prexy’s to old Williams; 

Once again a score of students 

Come to earth from parts unheard of.

Must have place in this, the story 

Of the Junior Class’s party.

Let us now in consummation,

Of our wildest hopes and fancies *

Imagine that within the ballroom 

We do stand and view with envy 

What takes place at such a function.

Hark! The march is now beginning;

At its strong compelling movement, 

Sweeps to view a dazzling column 

Of our friends.  Why count them over? 

Everyone by observation,

You may learn to know disguised.

Girls trip by.  Oh! Avhat’s this coming; 

Some new form, initiation?

No, a haughty Junior lady,

All bedecked in floral glory.

Thus might I recount an endless 

Dream of things which are to happen,

Tell of decorations, music,

Lights and colors, shades and laughter.

H ow the dance goes on till morning 

Thus it is from week to week-end. 

Leads all to a lingering ending.

Ever nearer creeps the evening,

Of the dawn of a new era,

One of glorious distinction.

In the 

coop” (the poet knows not 

How to fittingly describe it)

Ceaseless deeds of seamstress maidens 

Busily with flying fingers,

Giving form to such creations 

That no common eye can see them,

But in just a mere recounting,

Lies no taste like real experience.

Let us leave the gay old Juniors 

To the biggest celebration,

Which occurs for any fellow

In the length and breadth of four years,

In the days spent at our college.

Dessert ’ ’

By Jessie M. Whitney

You’ve been roasted and toasted,

Until I am sure 

You’ve no room for dessert,

Wh ich at best will be poor.

In fancy now I hear the Dean,

Who kindly urged us on 

To sojourn at the Bijou 

And to debate thereon.

Since you’ve asked, I shall endeavor, 

And, oh, those blissful moonlight nights 

In my poor and humble way,

To tell you a vision

That came to me one day.

When all did strolling go,

The teachers nodding kindly,

They loved to have it so.

Methought that many years had gone, 

And I no longer sat 

Within these halls of learning 

Nor tried to learn thereat.

And now in retrospection 

Appears before my eyes,

An hundred dear familiar scenes 

And a thousand nameless ties.

But in the worldly mart I trod,

And, while struggling with its strife, 

There came to me a vision 

Of my old M. A. C. life.

And to my listening, eager ears 

There comes the bitter wail 

Of poor bald-headed Freshies,

Each riding on a rail.

From out the darkening twilight 

Came echoes of the past,

And each does ask for utterance 

As each succeeds the last.

Again the roar and the tumult 

Of “rush” time stirs my blood,

And I see the valiant heroes 

Who struggle in the flood.

Methinks I see the campus,

With fussers dotted o’er,

And co-eds playing hockey 

Near to the old coop door.

1 smell the fragrant odor 

Of strong Ceylon black tea,

I taste again in fancy

The good things at Club C.

I stand with others, wreathed in smiles, 

In front of old Wells Hall 

Where the bonfire of the barbecue 

In friendship warms us all.

The cider’s sweet aroma 

Floats out upon the night,

And a gain I beg, in fancy,

Some Senior for a bite.

I see once more those pleasant smiles 

Which all instructors had 

For those who never studied—

For that was quite the fad.

And I hear the martial music 

Of a big mass meeting grand,

Where all sang Alma Mater 

To the music of the band.

And those noble football heroes

With their several victories crowned, 

We worshipped and we gloried in 

That team could not be downed.

In my memory there’s ringing

The strains of “Auld Lang Syne,”

And I’m wishing that these memories 

Were realities of mine.

And then Coach Brewer rises,

And a hush falls on the crowd 

While he tells us of the chances

For the team of which we’re proud.

And then another form looms up—

The crowd does murmur—‘ Fat,” 

And a voice cries out above applause, 

“Come on, fellows, Rat-a-ta-thrat. ”

Then the campus in the spring time 

With its many colors bright,

When it blooms with birds and co-eds 

’Twas a heaven of delight.

Ah, well do I remember

How we dressed with lace and frill 

And wandered after classes 

Just to see the fellows drill.

But hark ! what noise is that 

That breaks upon my dream

With insistence and with clamor 

Like a bell the sound would seem.

I wildly stare around me—

Ah grief ! How can it be?

’Tis eight a. m.—it was a dream,

I’m still at M. A. C.

In these joyful retrospections 

1 have forgot to cram

And now, I’m off to Chem class 

To flunk that old exam.

But still, perhaps, the day will come 

When, in my dreams of thee,

All will be like these pleasant 

Memories of M. A. C.

The College Band
THE college band is strictly of a military nature, being a part of the college 

cadet regiment and directly under the supervision of the military depart­
It is organized along the same lines as the regular army bands, and 
ment. 
this year consists of a drum major, a principal musician, four sergeants, eight 
corporals and fourteen privates.  There are also six Senior classmen playing with 
the band who receive the same remuneration as the Senior officers of the regiment.
The military duties of the band are much the same as those of the other com­
panies  During the fall and winter terms the rehearsals must be held three times 
a week at the regular drill hour, and during the spring term the band turns out on
„
the drill ground to lead the regimental parades. 
In addition to the military work, however, the band is active in many phases o 
college life  A college celebration, athletic event, mass meeting, or even social 
function, is now incomplete without the band; and in co-operation with the rooters, 
it is instrumental in stirring up real live college spirit.  As a concert organization, 
it has gained an enviable reputation within the last few years and[ranks as one ol 
the best college bands in the country. Professor Arthur J. Clark has directed the 
band for the past four years, and during that time the organization has steadily and 
rapidly progressed, until now the best standard compositions, as well as the hg ter
popular selections, appear upon its programs.

, 

During the fall term of this college year, in addition to the military work, the 
band furnished music at all the home football games, mass meetings and celebra­
tions, and accompanied the rooters and team to Ann Arbor, where they did muc 
to show the University that M. A. C. is still unconquered.  An all-college, in­
formal promenade concert was also given, which was well attended and appreciated
by the students. 

■ 
WM
During the winter term the band appeared at two mass meetings, the faculty 
debate and at the Farmers’ Round-Up Institute.  Another promenade was given 
on the afternoon of Washington’s birthday, and a sacred concert Sunday after­
noon March 19th.  The annual free sacred concert is one of the best offerings of 
the year.  Some outside vocal soloists assisted the band in presenting a strong pro-
i
gram of the best selections. 

During the spring term an all-college hop was given, and plans are being pnnde 
to continue the weekly free campus concerts which were so much enjoyed last 
spring.  There was also on foot a plan to take the band on a concert tour during 
the spring vacation.  Tho this did not materialize during the present year it will 
undoubtedly be introduced in the near future and will not only advertise the col­
lege, but will provide valuable experience for the band members and added induce­
ment for still further development of our college band.

It has been the opinion of the staff that 

a college paper should primarily 

convey 

news, but 

that 

it should never become a 

newspaper 

in character. 

In other words, 

a college' paper should preserve a dignity 

above that of the average newspaper.  Facts 

should not be treated as mere facts, but 

in 

relation to progress. Such an ideal manifestly 

resulted in a policy which led us directly 

into an atmosphere of optimism.  We kept 

vigilant 

for 

things good 

and uplifting. 

When 

they were not so, we treated them 

only in an attempt to remedy the evil, and 

not 

for 

the sake of destructive criticism. 

With 

this 

ideal constantly before us, we 

emerged from our duties with renewed faith 

in the general aspiration of students 

to be 

in 

the 

right. 

Duties became pleasures. 

Our efforts added nothing 

to our sum of 

worldly goods, but stored up for us sums 

of valuable experience and the extreme hap­

piness of having given the best that one has.

J I ^HE Kedzie Chapter of the Frat. of Alpha Zeta was installed in 1902.  Dur­
ing its nine years of existence, the chapter has probably never been in a 
better condition than at the present time.

The beginning of the year found only seven active members to carry on the 
In the fall term four more men were chosen, three Seniors and one Junior, 
work. 
thus completing the ten to be chosen from the Senior class. 
In the winter term 
three more Juniors were elected to membership; and four additional will be select­
ed in the spring.

Occupying comfortable quarters on the fourth floor of the Ag. Building, the 
social side of the fraternity has been developedi 
It has long been felt that some 
action should be taken to bring the aims and ideals of Alpha Zeta to the student 
body.  Accordingly, an open meeting was held the second week of the winter 
term.  An informal program ^including a talk by Prof. Gunson, who is an honor­
ary member, was given. A general good time was enjoyed, and the chapter en­
deavored to make its visitors feel that Alpha Zeta stands for something more than 
‘ ‘grinding. ’ ’

As it was also felt that something more of a social nature might be advantageous 
to the fraternity ¿during the winter term a party was given in union with the Tau 
Beta Pi.  This party was held in the Ag. Building; and the fraternity rooms, very 
prettily decorated, served as the parlor.  Besides affording an enjoyable time to 
those present;! the function served to bring the members of the two honorary 
fraternities closer together. 
It is the intention of the chapter to continue the open 
meetings, holding at least one each term.

The Fraternity of Alpha Zeta is a national organization with chapters in twenty- 
six of the states. 
Its aim is to bring together those who have shown themselves 
interested and proficient in the science of agriculture.  Although an honorary 
fraternity, its members are not selected on class standings alone, but on scholar­
ship combined with character and leadership.

HIS association was founded at Lehigh University of South Bethlehem, Pa.,
in 1885.  The purposes of the association, as set forth in the preamble of the
‘‘To mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred 
constitution, are: 
honor upon their Alma Mater by a high grade of scholarship as undergraduates, or 
by their attainments as alumni, and to foster the spirit of liberal culture in engineer­
ing schools of America.” 
Its charter members were the eligible men from the 
class of 1885 and several alumni who were in sympathy with the scheme.  For 
seven years but one chapter existed.  The second one, the Alpha of Michigan, 
was established at M. A. C. in the year 1892.  Since that time more schools have 
been granted charters until at the present time there are twenty-four chapters in 
existence, representing fifteen states.  Michigan has three chapters, the Alpha of 
Michigan at M. A. C., the Beta of Michigan at the Michigan College of Mines, 
and the Gamma of Michigan at the U. of M.

Eligibility to membership is based on scholarship, and is confined to students in 
the engineering courses who are recognized by the faculty and trustees as being in 
good and regular standing.  While the records are depended upon for the grades, 
one is not necessarily elected after having the required standard. 
It is always 
understood that the grade must have been obtained by honest work.  Good fellow­
ship and moral character are factors in the election of eligibles.

During the past year the first attempt at social activity was made, a party con­
ducted jointly with the Alpha Zeta.  This was a success, and it is hoped that each 
year will see these social functions carried out.  The association is literary in that 
it has its programs of readings, papers and discussions within its own rooms.  Dur­
ing the spring term there is held an open meeting, conducted in a similar manner 
to the regular meeting, to which all are invited.

House Meeting: A heterogenous gathering of the inmates of the coop at 
which the rules are read by the one presiding to an accompaniment of groans from 
the co-eds.

Pie: A luxury, a kind of food, which at rare intervals may be partaken 
meagerly by co-eds at Club C.  By dint of careful watching and by loitering after 
the general company, a second piece is sometimes obtainable,

Mass Meeting : A large and peculiarly dangerous gathering from which co-eds 

must return at 7:00 o’clock.

Social Function: The opposite of instruction. Synonym: Frivolity, eieven 

o’clock.  Antonym: Stereopticon lecture.

ber of active members was limited, but twenty-two old men returning.
An unusually large number were lost thru graduation last spring, while others, 
especially underclassmen, viewing the long and thorny path towards knowledge 
with apprehension and impatience, have entered the industrial and commercial 
worlds, where we will soon hear of them.

Mingled with the sterner duties of college life, there has been a goodly amount 
of pleasure, the weekly meetings being a constant source of entertainment and en­
lightenment.  Two parties have been held—the fall term Fischer party being given 
in the Ag. Building on October 22, and the winter term party the same place on 
February 25.  Both were very enjoyable functions and will be long remembered. 
Plans for commencement week have been completed, and, being the same as last 
year, leave nothing to be desired.  A house party will demand attention during the 
closing days of the year. This is followed by the annual commencement banquet at 
the Downey qn the last Tuesday of the year.  The dance extends into the wee 
small hours of the night, and, .if precedent is followed, the last note will not be 
sounded till daybreak.  Fischer has been secured, and this fact, combined with the 
other features, will undoubtedly make 1911 commencement week one of the most 
delightful periods in our college days ; and cause it to stand forth as a worthy 
tribute to our worthy Seniors.

I. J. Woodin, ’13

FEW days after the advent of the 1910 Wolverine marked the completion
of the improvements on the Lit. home, which were brought about by a com­
plete remodeling of the building last spring term.  The new quarters have 
now seen a year’s service and it would be hard to estimate their value to the 
society’s welfare.

The thirty-fifth annual commencement festivities served as rededication exer­
cises, which were made especially enjoyable by the presence of so many old Lits 
who had returned for the Triennial Reunion.

The past college year has been an exceedingly busy one for this society.  The 
annual fall term hop was held in the society’s home, and the newly finished rooms 
and furnishings were seen for the first time by a great many friends and guests. 
The winter term was featured by a Christmas party, alumni night, faculty night, 
the regular winter term party held in the Agricultural building, and the Freshman 
oratorical contest.  Faculty night and alumni night were events of especial interest, 
as it is seldom that a society has the pleasure of becoming well acquainted with 
faculty members outside of classes or of welcoming its nearby alumni members.

This June brings to an end the thirty-sixth successful year of the existence of 
the Union Literary Society.  The present strong condition of the society, together 
with the fact that there has been no lowering of its standards during the past years, 
makes every Lit feel honored to be associated with the U. L. S.

E. Hart, ’14, and G. H. Collingwood, ’ll

AST June closed the year for Eclectic Society with a successful commence­
ment party and banquet held in the Society House. 
It was especially
pleasant because of the house party, where alumni, parents, guests and 

active members mingled together during the commencement week.

After the interval of summer vacation, there was the joy of coming back to 
school and to old friends again. New members were taken in, and we were soon 
fairly launched on another School year. The literary work has been carried on 
with more than usual vigor. Several informal parties have been given in the house 
during the year, and an innovation was started this spring in the form of a faculty 
night. The annual ’Tic-Olympic smoker was held in the house during the winter. 
This is a reminder of the days when the two societies had rooms adjoining one an­
other in Williams Hall. Now it is especially pleasant because it brings the mem­
bers of the two societies into much closer relations than would otherwise be possi­
ble. Later, at the end of the winter term, the annual ’Tic-Olympic party was 
given in the Masonic Temple at Lansing.

Too much can hardly be said of the influence our matron, Mrs. Osband, has 
over the society and the care of the house. 
It is her presence in the parlors and 
dining room which lends an air of refinement to the place, seldom found among 
college students. Without her our parties would lack much of their success, and 
many of our little house parties would be quite impossible.

L. B. Scott

THE Olympic Society has passed thru another very successful year, During 

the past months it has maintained the standard set in former years, in a liter­
ary, athletic, and social way.

The rooms of the society have been redecorated and they present a very charm­
ing and cozy appearance.  The Olympics have given a number of delightful part­
ies during the school year. 
In the fall term during the fore part of December, the 
annual venison roast was given, which surpassed even the previous ones.  The win­
ter term party of the society was in the nature of an informal dance, given in the 
Olympic rooms.  At the close of the winter term, in connection with the Eclectic 
Society, the annual ’Tic-Olympic party was given at the Masonic Temple.  The 
spring term party was of the usual success.

In an athletic way, the Olympics were represented during the past year in foot­

ball, baseball, basketball and track.

The literary work has been made an especially prominent feature.  The Fresh­
man oratorical contest took place near the close of the winter term and aroused a 
great deal of friendly rivalry among the new members.

In every way the Olympics feel that the past year has been a pleasant and suc­

cessful one, and one that will long be remembered in the history of the society.

Hesperian Society

Barton 0. Withall and Arthur D. Wolf

THE year 1910-11 has been a most successful one in the history of the Hes­

perian Society.  The spirit of brotherhood and the unity of action that has 
always characterized the efforts of this society has manifested itself during 
the past year as never before.  The high standard of deportment and scholarship 
that Hesperus demands of her followers has been maintained, and the members 
have sought to live up to the traditions of the past.

Along with its literary work, this society has endeavored to give emphasis to the 
social side of college life.  During commencement week of 1910, a stag supper 
was given at Club E in honor of the many old members who were back to the 
alumni reunion.  This proved to be a most pleasant and profitable affair, bringing 
the men now in school in closer contact with those who have gone out into the 
world.  The commencement party was held in the Armory June 21, preceded by 
a banquet at Club D.  The fall term party was held in the Agricultural Building 
October 21.

On Saturday afternoon, January 28, about thirty Hesperians and their friends 
went to Mason, where a banquet was held, followed by dancing till ten o’clock, 
when they returned to Lansing, declaring it the most successful party of the year.
The Hesperian Society faces the future with confidence, strong in its purpose to 

continue a powerful factor in the upbuilding of our beloved Alma Mater.

Spring Party, May 4. 

It was just the sort of a night for a spring party, and 
downtown at Sophie Dodge’s home, too.  The girls in the “coop” stayed down­
town all night, and such fun. We danced in the ballroom on the third floor. 
And the “eats!” Sandwiches and coffee, salad, ice cream and cake, served at 
little round tables down in the dining room.  Mr. and Mrs. Dodge were our
patrons. 

Commencement Party* June 17-  One of those formal affairs, but thanks to 
Fischer’s six-piece orchestra and a grand night, we all had a good time, and it was 
both a reunion and a farewell party.

Fall Party, November 4.  The first party this year, and the best ever.  We all 
tried to do honor to our nineteen new girls who were our guests,  Everyone seemed 
to have a good time.  Our honorary members lent dignity to the occasion, as did 
our patrons, Lieutenant and Mrs. Holley.

.

Feronian Christmas Tree, December 10.  Such fun tonight at the Christmas 
tree! Bess Palm was an ideal Santa, and how she did surprise everyone with her 
belts and “Merry Christmas” when she jumped from behind the piano.  There 
were presents for all, and, of course, there were candies and nuts and apples, and a 
huge time alb around.

Winter Party, February 4.  Oh,, such a grand time! 

It was a red party, with 
red leather programs, red lanterns and red lattice work to fence off a little refresh­
ment room.  Here sherbet and cake were served at little tables, lighted by red 
candles. Dr. and Mrs. Morse and Mr. and Mrs. Emery were patrons.

Columbian Literary Society

A FTER losing seven of our brothers by graduation with the class of 1910, we 
returned to college in the fall enthusiastic with a fraternal spirit and ready to 

/-\ 
^ “““ take up the work where we had left it the year before.

Things started with a rush* and before the term had slipped very far beyond our 
grasp, we were able to extend to ten new men the right hand of fellowship.  Then 
came the social whirl of the dance floor, as on October 22 we held our fall term 
party in our rooms, the College orchestra officiating.  The next step, the winter 
term, was equally successful, for besides holding our regular literary meetings every 
Saturday evening, we entertained our guests at a party in the Agricultural Build­
ing on January 14, Fischer’s orchestra, of Kalamazoo, furnishing the music. Dur­
ing the spring term we entertained with a picnic at Pine lake, and gave to our de­
parting Seniors their farewell party.

This year we lose eight from our ranks, each one a mountain to us in these past 
four years, and we hope that the C. L. S. has instilled in them that fraternal spirit 
and good fellowship which is our emblem of success.

SNOTHER occasion brings to mind our society history in which we may 

chronicle our past, enumerate the present conditions and peer for a little in­
to the future.

To dwell on past events which established the society, and the advancement this 
organization has made to give it the present standing in the college and the present 
ranking with other societies would be a mere repetition of past histories.

The present society, having a membership of twenty-four girls, is as firmly 
established as it was when it originated, and the same unity of feeling and friend­
ship dominates that has always been present.

The primary aim of the society is to encourage and develop its members along 
literary lines. To maintain a high standard, its literary meetings, debates and ora­
torical contests contribute largely.

Closely related to college life is the social life, which is an outgrowth of college 
ties. Here we realize our ideals—friendship and nobility—for which the society 
stands. The social activities are mere demonstrations of that mutual friendship, 
and help to bind us more closely.

The Themian German, the most important party given by the society during the 
year, still keeps its high rank because of the characteristic figure and favor dances 
It is the party most looked forward to, thoroughly en­
and effective decorations. 
joyed and long remembered. 
It still retains its interest for the alumni and its pleas­
ure for the present members.

SORORIAN, during the past college year, has stood, perhaps more than ever 

before, for sisterhood in our college work, in literary effort and in the broad­
ening of our social ideals.

The society has at present an active membership of thirty-three, and each mem­
ber, by individually striving for perfection, makes a union which is increasing in 
ability and also exerting an influence which tends to raise the standard of our 
scholarship, and of our every effort.

During the past Fall, Winter and Spring terms, parties for the mutual enjoyment 
of Sororians and their friends have been successfully given. A “literary banquet” 
was also served in the society rooms during the winter term. 
It is our aim and de­
sire that such functions as these shall serve to enlarge us socially and prove an add­
ed inspiration to us in our college work.

In our broader world work in years to come we know that our thoughts will 
often turn with pleasure intermingled with gratitude to the Sororian sisterhood of 
our college life.

The Eunomian Literary Society
FROM the literary standpoint the year 1910-11 was probably the most success­

ful in the history of the Eunomian Literary Society. The meetings have 
been characterized by exceptionally well-written and well-rendered individual 

papers.

The social activities began with a Lincoln party in the Armory on February 12. 
One of the features of the winter term was the rendering of -‘Die Gartenhouse 
Schule” by a cast made up of members of the society. The annual Eunomian 
picuic was held at Pine lake on May 21. This will remain in the minds of those 
present as one of the fondest memories of the entire year. On the evening of 
June 17, 1910, the commencement party was held. After a sumptuous banquet 
and a series of excellent toasts, the society adjoined to the Ag. Building where 
dancing was enjoyed to a late hour.

Howard W. Hough very ably represented the society in the local oratorical con­

test, with a masterful oration, entitled, “The Eternal Principle. ”

The Eunomian-Aurorian party of February 18, 1911, marked a departure from 

the usual eleven o’clock.

Among the numerous pleasures of the year a great sorrow befell the Eunomian 
Literary Society in the way of the death of its beloved brother, James S. Brody. 
The untimely summoning which deprived us of his companionship took place 
August 26, 1910, while he was in the employ of the Experiment Station at the 
College.  His personality is preserved to us by innumerable and pleasant memories 
of his cheerful disposition which made him the friend of all who knew him.

Ero-Alphian Literary Society

Louise Graham Kelley, ’ll

THE past year has been one of growth and development as well as a year 

marked by pleasant events for this society.  The 1910 commencement party 
was held on June 11 in the College Armory.  Simple decorations softened 
the bare walls of the building, and the strains of Fischer’s orchestra filled the air 
with harmony.  The whole party was a social drama of rare enjoyment.

We returned in the fall with new vigor to resume our work.  Six Freshmen 
members were added to the society roll to help build up and maintain our standard. 
The fall party took place in the Agricultural Building on November 12, where the 
College orchestra rendered the music. On December 10, Miss Irma Himmelberger 
entertained the society at her Lansing home with a splendid musical program given 
by herself.

The social event most looked forward to was the occasion of March 11, when the 
society entertained the honorary members and friends at a dinner dance.  The 
dinner was served in Club D, after which dancing was enjoyed in the Armory un­
til the usual hour.  Fischer’s orchestra added to the pleasure of the evening. 
The 1911 commencement party will be held June 16 in the Armory.

Splendid work has also been done along literary lines, and each girl feels the 

cultural and broadening influence of the society.

Forensic Literary Society

W. Wells Pratchner, ’ll

DURING the past year the Forensic Society has enjoyed unusual success. 

In fact, of all the three years of its short history, this has been the most 
prosperous. The commencement party of last spring was on a little larger 
scale than we had ever attempted before, but it proved to be a most pleasant and 
successful termination of the year s work. The Seniors, in whose honor it was 
given, will long remember it as one of the pleasant events of their college life.

The usual custom of giving a party each term has been carried out. Both part­
ies were held in the Agricultural Building. On the night of the last meeting of 
each term a formal banquet is given. These functions help to form new ties and 
make the old ones stronger. During the coming spring term the society plans to 
give its first annual picnic. TL his date is being looked forward to with the hope 
that it will be as pleasant and successful as the other events of the year.

In the fall term the TCooly AAest troop presented the screaming farce, 4 ‘Dr. 

Diaculum. ’ ’ This committee presents a play each term.

This year has seen a great improvement in the rooms. We hope by gradual 

additions and changes to make our quarters more attractive and homelike.

The society and its members have held a prominent place in the college activi­
It is our hope that we may continue to be recognized as

Delphic Society'

George Braulte, ’ll

THE Delphic Society was organized in the chapel of College Hall on Novem­

In March, 1909, the society moved to Ward A, Wells Hall, 

ber 7, 1908. 
where it has been located since.

The enthusiasm which marked its inception has always been maintained, and the 
members individually, as .well as the society as a whole, have been greatly bene­
fited thereby.  A progressive development along literary and social lines has marked 
the society’s work in the past year. 
Its members have been encouraged to par­
take in all college activities, and have been prominent in all student affairs.

Abiding by the usual custom, the society has given an informal dancing party 
each term, and has recently taken the initiative in presenting a petition from Wells
Hall societies to the faculty, asking that ten o’clock be allowed in that building__
a like privilege having been long enjoyed by Williams Hall societies.  At various 
times thru the year banquets have been given to celebrate various events in the 
society history or certain achievements of society members.

Altho possessing pleasant quarters at the beginning of the college year, 

the 
rooms have been much improved.  Furniture and fixtures have been added, the 
lights rearranged, and the general plan of the rooms remodeled, thus makino- a 
very pleasant home for the society.

IONIAN LITERARY SOCIETY

Ionian Literary Society

William A. Gardner

SOMEWHAT less than two years ago in Room 10, College Hall, the birth­

place of many such organizations as ours, the Ionian Literary Society was 
organized. After some delay, the room over Ward D was secured and the 
work of furnishing and decorating was begun. As is usually the case where much 
is to be done and the wfirkers are few, our numbers slowly diminished until but a 
very few, our nucleus, remained.

If at any time in our history our growth seemed to be somewhat slow, we were 
comforted by the saying, “Not too fast; for haste, the proverb says, makes waste,” 
and looked forward for brighter days—and we found them. The old adage, “The 
more, the merrier,” has more than one exception, for our appreciation of our soci­
ety has never been limited by the paucity of our numbers.

Our social functions, while few in number, have been worthy of our endeavors, 
which fact will be attested by those who attended our winter mid-term party, held 
February 11. 

All who have had experience in the organization and in the promotion of the 
growth of new societies know much concerning the difficulties to be overcome and 
the inconveniencies to be overlooked. W^e do at least. However, we are glad to 
say that most of these things are of the past, and we now find ourselves in the 
position to reap some of the rewards of our labor, and to expand into a still broader 
life as a society.

URING the past year the A. L. S. has met with pleasing success on the 
social as well as the literary side. The society has taken an active part in
all college functions, and has pursued its aim, which is to create interest in 
literary work and to promote good fellowship among its members. The rooms of 
the society are in TVard C, Wells Hall, where our friends will always be welcome.
The society has held three parties, in the past year, one in the Armory and two 
in the Ag. Building, all of which were well attended and enjoyed by all present. 
A banquet was also given in honor of two of its members who were chosen mem­
bers of the Tau Beta Pi.

Every member has the welfare of the society at heart, and endeavors to make it 
a stronger and better organization. This year the members have shown a decided 
interest in oratory and debating, and these classes of work have furnished a large 
part of the literary programs.

The meetings have been well attended, and from time to time have been 

addressed by well known speakers on subjects of interest to all.

Phylean Literary Society
THE Phylean Literary Society originated in Room 6, College Hall, near the 

end of the winter term, 1910. During the remainder of the year they were 
handicapped in many ways, and very little progress was made; but, with the 
beginning of a new year, the society seemed to take on new life and progressed 
rapidly. They soon obtained possession of rooms in Ward B, Wells Hall, where 
life is now being made pleasant for all concerned.

If no unforeseen obstacles present themselves, the Phyleans bid fair to become a 
society which will be unusually helpful and influential in the social and literary 
life at M. A. C.

Sesame Literary Society

Vera A. Coffeen, ’12

“Bread made of that old enchanted Arabian grain, the Sesame, 
which opens doors;—doors not of 
robbers’, but of king’s 
treasuries,;”—Arabian Nights.

DURING the years ’09 and ’10 the decided increase of co-eds made it imper­

ative that additional literary society accommodations be offered.  With this 
in view, a small number of girls went earnestly to work to meet the needs. 
After many weary weeks of struggle and discipline, a little band of twenty-four, 
under the leadership of Miss Mae Parmelee, were sufficiently welded together to 
bring forth a charter, which was accepted by the faculty on February 11, 1911. 
With Ruskin’s interpretation of Sesame,—the magic grain of education; the grain 
that opens the treasures of wisdom—, and striving after the fullness of knowledge, 
the new organization was named “Sesame Literary Society,s ’ choosing as its guid­
ing star* “Service and Democracy^’ its ideal, ‘‘YVomaii 1 y Triitli and Nobility.” 

The kindly interest of the faculty, the good spirit shown by the older co-ed liter­
ary societies and the joy of legal recognition served to draw the little band into 
close fellowship and love, which we trust will continue to bless the organization 
and make its magic watchword an uplifting force in the future history of M. A. C.

Cosmopolitan Club

-*■ 

fT^HE first year of the club's existence was filled with the details o*f organiza­
tion, and it has but recently grown into regular and consistent work.  Short- 
ly after the opening of college last fall, the club entertained all the new 
foreign-born students, gave them the glad hand, and tried to make them feel more
at home in this, a strange land. 

Thruout the year literary, meetings were held in the Agricultural Building.  At 
these the different members would give papers or talks upon subjects and about 
places with which they had been personally acquainted.  This made interesting and 
very instructive meetings, whereby each nationality gained first hand knowledge 
of the conditions prevalent in other lands. 

. v

A 

; 

.

The local chapter was recently admitted to the Corda Frates, National Association 
of Cosmopolitan Clubs, which makes the local chapter a member of a movement 
which is one of the great factors working for international peace.

The active membership consists of twenty men, representing eight different

nationalities.

THE second oldest technical club on the campus, having been organized by the 

class of 1902, the Hort Club stands today as a powerful influence in the Hort 
Course. 
It places the students in touch with practical horticulture and the many 
closely related subjects, by securing people who speak upon subjects different from 
the ordinary classroom lectures. 
It also fosters the fraternal spirit between the 
teachers and students.

It is closely connected with the State Horticultural Society, and is represented 
each year by members who take part in two contests. This year the winners in 
the fruit judging contest were C. B. Tubergen, U. S. firane, and F. C. Hayharsh. 
In a contest of five minute talks on horticultural subjects, L. B. Scott, B. • W. 
Keith, Arao Itano, and J. G. France were the successful ones.

In addition to serving fruit at each meeting, one social event is planned for each 
term. 
In the fall it consists of a trip to the large orchard of a friend near Pine 
Lake. The orchard is inspected, dinner cooked over a bonfire, each one eats all 
the apples he can, and then fills his pockets.

During the winter a fruit show is held to which the entire college and commun­

ity is invited. Fruit is secured from all over the United States for exhibition.

Each one looks forward with anticipation to the fruit banquet, given at com­
mencement time in honor of the graduating class.  Here, in addition to other 
good things, are served all the kinds of fruit that can be bought at this time.

M. A. C. Poultry Association
THE M. A. C. Poultry Association was enthusiastically reorganized in the fall 

of 1910, owing to the general revival of interest in poultry culture, due partly 
to the inauguration of the new method of having agricultural students elect two 
major subjects of five credits each instead of one ten-credit subject as in the past.
The purpose in reorganizing this club was not only to give students in poultry 
work an opportunity to get together and discuss matters of interest in the poultry 
world, but also to effect an organization, so that the meetings could be addressed 
by special speakers connected with special branches of the industry, in other 
words, to make the regular work more profitable and enjoyable. During the win­
ter term, while the short course students were here, meetings were held every 
Monday evening, with a very gratifying attendance of thirty to forty at each; and 
the association was especially fortunate in being favored with talks on advertising, 
diseases, shipping rates, and other topics. 

The association also had complete supervision of the poultry show, held in con­
nection with the poultry institute in February, seeing to the handling of all details 
and gaining much practical experience thereby in the manner of conducting the 
shows.

M. A. C. Foresters
rjlHOUGH of comparatively recent origin, the Foresters’ Club occupies an import- 
It is interesting to 

ant place in the life of every forestry student at this college. 

note some of the circumstances of its formation.

In the fall of ’03, the year after the inception of the Forestry course at this in­
stitution, the two senior foresters agreed that it would be well to hold meetings 
where the men who were interested in forestry might come together for the pur­
pose of discussing topics relating to the subject. Accordingly they stirred up the 
underclassmen, levied a tax, drafted a constitution, and founded the M. A. C,. 
Foresters.  The conferences were held on the forestry floor of the Dairy building, 
which is still the meeting place.  Prof. F. H. Sanford has the distinction of hav­
ing been the first Chief Forester.

Besides giving entertainment, and social enjoyment, the club supplements the 
academic course by securing practical men from the Forest Service as occasional 
speakers. As the senior foresters spend their summers on the National Reserves, 
the relating of their experiences while there form a valuable part of the program 
and supply information which is so necessary for a forester, but which is still so 
difficult to procure. With the continued support of the Forestry Department and 
the co-operation of the students, the club will undoubtedly extend the advantages 
which it now has for doing helpful work for its supporters.

Farmers’ Club
THE M. A. G; Farmers’ Club was organized in 1899 under the auspices of the 

State Association of Farmers’ Club. The club seeks, as its first purpose, to 
bridge the ever narrowing gulf that has for so long existed between the scientific 
and practical sides of agriculture.

The method by which it is attaining this end is by the employing as speakers at its 
weekly meetings scientific men who have a good practical knowledge of the in­
tricacies of agriculture, and successful, practical men who are engaged in different 
phases of agriculture.

Meetings are held every Tuesday evening and are well attended. This year has 
been an especially progressive one for the club and very good speakers have been 
obtained.

The growth of the club and the interest which is taken in it are keeping pace 
with the rapid ¡advances in agricultural work, and this organization is undoubtedly 
destined to wield a stronger influence in the future than in the past.

Engineering Society

Herbert Lossing

A HISTORY of the Engineering Society does not reveal a pathway strewn with 

roses, for it, like many others, has experienced its successes and difficulties. 
Many times since its beginning it has apparently dropped from college activities, 
but each time it has risen again, showing that there is a real interest among the 
engineering students for such an organization and that, like a smouldering fire, if it 
is once given a free start while surrounded with the proper elements, it will easily 
reach such proportions and fill such a place in the college life that a permanent and 
successful society will be established here.

In the life of the young engineer the Engineering Society has a great mission to 
It must bring to him the full realization that to be all that his profession 
fill. 
stands for, he must be more than a mere calculating machine, he must be keenly 
alive to all that interests the profession, he must be as capable as the financier in 
the understanding of costs and productive methods, he must above all be a broad 
minded man among men, capable of expressing himself in clear and concise terms, 
and a willing worker with his fellow men.

The Engineering society brings its men together once every two weeks for the 
discussion of live engineering topics. 
It is in the -interchange of ideas, the formu­
lating of new ones, and the maintaining of a liberal spirit toward our chosen tasks, 
upon which we have placed the corner stone of a real Engineering Society for 
students of engineering.

Debating Club

THE Debating Club was organized at the beginning of the school year, 

new constitution drafted by Messrs. Withall and Close was adopted. 

The new constitution retains all the valuable features of the old, but 
arranges for a more systematic and complete plan of preliminary training.
It also provides that members of the debating teams shall be suitably re­
warded by a medal or some such token in recognition of their efforts.

Continuing the policy of the annuaSYYpsi” debate, arrangements have 

been made for an annual contest with Alma college.

A greater interest is being taken in this phase of college 

life than 

has formerly been manifested.

The officers of the club are: President, U. S. Crane; Vice-President,

F. H. Ewing; Secretary-Treasurer, G. H. Meyers.

Idlers
The idlers, contrary to their name, have been unusually busy during the 

fall and winter term of 1910 and 1911, with three dances, two Bijous, a Hal­

lowe’en dinner and masquerade, a children’s Christmas party, and a recital.

The dance in the fall term was under the direction of Miss Chap­
man, a recognized authority on dancing, fancy and otherwise.  One 
of the dances in the winter was a Valentine party and the other was 
in honor of the Irish Saint Patrick.  At the Valentine party two 
youthful queens of hearts, Marguerite and Sylvia King, distributed 
the programs. Miss Norma Gilchrist was in charge of this function. 
Miss Scott undertook to placate old Saint Patrick.

The Idler Bijou of the fall was in charge of Miss Hunt and the 
Nprogram presented has led us to suspect that the head of the Do­
mestic Science Department has some very accurate knowledge of the Bijou. The 
success of this led Miss Stevens to counsel a second Bijou in the winter, which 
added refreshments to the program, showing that Miss Stevens appreciates the 
Sugar Bowl as well as the Bijou.  On Hallowe’en Miss Freyhofer spoke persua­
sively to Mrs. Cameron and the girls were given a holiday dinner and masquerade 
in the gymnasium.  Mrs. Peppard invited all good children to come to her Christ­
mas tree and see what Santa had brought them and meet the children of yester­
year.  Mrs. Cameron gave us a treat in a recital given by Mrs. Burton,-assisted 
by Miss Freyhofer and Mr. Morse.

At the carnival the Idlers sold ice cream cones, popcorn, peanuts and confetti in 
a booth next to the Esophagus Flusher, but so far no ill effects have been reported 
from the close proximity to the “only wet place in the county.”

The New York Club

Edwin Smith, ’12

Even at college it is good to know friends from home, and this is one of the va­
riety of purposes that the New York Club has served during its nearly three years 
of existence at M. A. C.,for its members have grown to know each other, have 
impressed upon the college that it has a good delegation from a mother and neigh­
boring state, and have kept instructed as to the movements in their home common­
wealth by providing the library with New York papers.g|

Eastern people have the reputation of lacking the free comradeship of our west­
ern citizens, yet a more congenial atmosphere is seldom found at M. A. C. than that 
of the social meetings of the Eleven O’Clocks given by the club at various times 
during the year. Nor have these become enjoyable to the club members alone, for 
at the New York Club parties we always see an all-society and all-jubilant gather­
ing. 
In this respect the event on last Thanksgiving Eve. was particularly enjoy­
able, owing to the fact that it helped others forget the disappointment that circum­
stances prompted.

However, the downright happiness and good fellowship of the club is not truly 
seen on the campus; the deck of a lake Erie steamer or the club’s special car for 
It is then that college songs 
home can only afford suitable environment for that. 
and yells are given with home-going enthusiasm as the thirty-five members give 
vent to their exultant feelings, and, whether it is to the impatient crowds of Detroit 
and Buffalo or to the oblivious gulls of lake Erie’s expanse, there is no care as to the 
audience, so long as the world is to know of our M. A. C. and that its New York 
Club is going home.

[l90]

Round Table Club
BELIEVING that a college man should not leave college without some ability 

to make an after dinner speech and to act as toastmaster at such an occasion, 
the Round Table Club was formed. The first meeting was a term end gathering
of the Junior class in public speaking, and at that meeting 
it was thought advisable to organize a club for the develop­
ment of public speaking work at M. A. C. Meetings are 
now held once a month and arefin the form ot a small ban­
quet first and then a program of speeches at which the dif­
ferent members take their turn at the office of toastmaster. 
The aim is for each one to have as much practice in speech­
making as possible, and at the same time to have some of the big and interesting 
subjects which are confronting the nation, and the college discussed pro and con.

The club is now a little more than a year old and numbers about thirty-five in 
its membership, and tries to have these about equally divided among the three up­
per classes and thereby to have in the “Round Table” discussions a diversity of 
opinion which will make the mental conclusions arrived at of some practical value.

The Dramatic Club

Elizabeth J. Frazer, Secretary

IN the spring of 1910 a few students met and formed the Dramatic Club for the 

purpose of fostering the creation and production of dramatic art at M. A. C. 

K. D. Van Wagenen was the first 
president, and to him a great deal 
of the success of the club’s first 
year is due.

In the fall of 1910 the play,
“Esmeralda,” was very success­
fully presented by the club. Dur­
ing the winter term the play, “In 
the Hearts of the People,” was 
presented. This play is a modern 
political play, written by E. C.
Lindemann, a club member. The 
first prize offered by the club for 
the writing of a play was given to 
iyrr t 2xici0xxi9rixi

The club members all enjoyed a good time at the banquet given in Club G at 
the close of the winter term. On that occasion Prof. King was presented with a 
gold watch fob as a token of the club’s appreciation of his help and work.

This spring the club expects to present the play, “Ingomar,” out of doors, be­

sides a vaudeville performance in which each member will participate.

Elmer Hock has been elected president for the coming year. The club is now 
established on a firm foundation and promises to be one of the leading college 
organizations.

[191]

The Penman Club
THE last collegiate year has seen the organization of a club which rapidly sprang 

into prominence and which has a bright future before it from the standpoint of 
obtaining brilliant speakers to come to the college at frequent intervals, and of ac­
complishing great good for M. A; C. through its policies of boosting rather than 
knocking. The new club is the Penman Club, and only those are eligible to active 
membership who are engaged in or interested in newspaper or magazine work. 
The club now totals nearly twenty-five members who are seeking to mutually bene­
fit themselves by frequently discussing literary work in its various phases, particu­
larly the newspaper vocation.

The club, of course, includes newspaper correspondents of various local and state 
papers. One policy laid down by the Penmen is to take advantage of every op­
portunity to boost the oldest agricultural college in America—and the best and, 
when absolutely necessary to print disparaging news,; to write stories in such a 
manner as to reflect minimum discredit upon' the college.

When the Penmen brought Governor Chase S. Osborn to the College to talk 
before the students, as well as at the newspapermen’s banquet afterward, it was as 
much of an introduction of the Penmen to the students as it was an introduction 
of Michigan’s popular governor. The club hopes to bring other well known 
speakers before the students from time to time. Harry M. Nimmo, editor and 
publisher of the Detroit Saturday Night, and one of the keenest students of poli­
tics in Michigan, was the first'guest of the Penmen.

Every year the Penman Club will give a dual-purpose banqet at the close of the 
winter term. At this- banquet. the out-going Holcad staff vyill he toasted for its 
work of the preceding year, and the new staff will be welcomed, and given encour­
agement and impetus for its new work. At the first banquet of this kind, Eduard 
C. Lindemann, former editor of the Holcad, was presented a handsome loving cup 
on behalf of the Penman Club.

The M. A. C. Rifle Club
IN the fall of 1910 the officers of the newly appointed Cadet Quartermaster Depart­

ment decided to “boom” the Rifle Club.  Upon investigating the old minutes 
of the club, it was found that the existence of the body had 
been in a very precarious state ever since the organization in 
the winter of ’09. 
It was ascertained that no officers had 
been elected for this season. Accordingly, at a meeting 
September 26, called by the Regimental Quartermaster, the 
club was organized, officers were elected, a set of by-laws were adopted and plans 
for shoots were discussed.

For facilities the Rifle Club has theoise of three well-equipped fifty-foot ranges
__two in the Armory and one in the P. O. building—fourteen 22-calibre Krag
rifles and all the ammunition needed.

Throughout this year we have held two practice shoots each week, and one prize 
In the winter term we held a match meet with the U. of M.; 
shoot each term. 
and won. Later in the spring we shall hold our annual shoot under the N. R. A.. , 
in competition with the leading colleges of the country.

The club has had a very successful year, averaging about sixty members. The 
officers are: President, L. C. Helm; Secretary, W. W. Shanor; Treasurer, J. 
G. Hays; Captain, E. C. Sanford; Clerk, F. J. Yuhse.

A Touching Lament

I know a co-ed, fair young peach, 

She has a lovely dancing smile 

Watch out.

I know!

She has a heart I canot reach, 

And I can see her for a mile, 

No doubt.

But oft’ I think she’s kidding me, 
When I her flirting glances see,
And sometimes think I’d better flee, 

In rout.

Although

I now think it will not be me 
That she will smile on lastingly; 
For listen what 1 chanced to see, 

Sad blow:

This co-ed has eyes of brown;

For it was just the other night; 

Beware!

Oh, my !

No one can beat her in this town,

That I beheld the maddening sight; 

For hair.

I sometimes fear she wears a rat 
To aid in filling out her hat;
But who on earth can kick at that,

Or care?

(No lie!)

For there ! saw upon her breast 
A certain pin—you know the rest;
From someone whom she liked the best. 

Good-bye.

There is a professor named Barrows, 
The mind of the Freshman he harrows, 
When he makes the co-ed 
Handle snakes that are dead, 
The chills run all over their marrows;

Our jovial barber named Andy 
Sells hair cuts and shaving and candy 
Herpicide and Bay Rum,
Postal cards, chewing gum,
In his store by the bath house so handy.

There is an old doctor named Bruegel . 
Who has an eye like an eagle.

When there’s a mumps scare 
He is surely right there,
For that’s where he pockets his eagle.

There was an instructor named Rahn, 
Who gave many students a cahn;

And it was of no use 
To invent an excuse 

With this bacteriological mahn.

There was a young student named Bob, 
A poor farmer’s hen-roost did rob;

He tripped o’er a hen’s leg, 
Then he sat on an egg,
And it hatched out to be a bad job.

“A goat up our way ate a rooster, and the next day the owner

The Demon Coffee

By Unknown Author

This is a supergluloptious dissertation on the terrible coffee, which saps the will power and destroys 
the brain, till at last the victim dies in fearful agony. 
It also gives a rhapsody on King Tobacco, which 
will doubtless deal a terrible blow to the dirty weed.  The editor strongly urges the reading of this 
work.—Editor

We drink nothing stronger than pink lemonade.

And every loved spot 
Which thy fussing days knew. 
The slow shaded Cedar,
The cozy nooks by it,
The bridge and farm lane

Where the campus doth end. 
The dear old Bacty Lab.,
The W. B, nigh it,
And e’en the white pesthouse 
Where mumps’ patients dwell.

The oft thought of pesthouse,

Filling His Coffers

A Medley of Forest Life

There was a man named Ion, 

Who went to M. A. C.,

A very useful engineer 

He started in to be.

Far away from civilization 

Where there were no lovely ladies,

And the blamed old forests caught on fire, 

The air grew hot as Hades.

He studied Hort. and Ag. and Stock, 

Not knowing what to do,

Till finally nature called to him.

The woods and sky so blue

Red were his eyes so blue, boys,

No time to snoozle and snore;

His stomach came up where his face should be, 

For he never had smoked before.

1 

Were like a weird enchantress; 

And his friends at M. A. C.
Perceived that little Ion 

Started in on forestry.

For eight long weeks he fought the fire. 

Ah! life was far from sweet;

He wore the same old undershirt;

His shoes were full of feet.

And last spring, when school was over, 

Brave young Ion showed his sand ;
And behold ! our little hero 
Hiked out to the Western land;

If I only had a little hose,
I’d drown that fire,” said he,

But all the hose that I have got 

Are sticking fast to me. ”

Rode a stock train o/pr the prairie; 

Never paid a cent for fare-;/,

Had his eyes all filled with cinders, 

Fertilizer in his hair.

The fire grew hot, the flames roared high, 

And life could not endure;

Ah ! Is our hero going to die,

So innocent and pure?

Stopped upon a reservation ;

Tried to find a pretty squaw;

But her papoose chanced to see him, 

And soaked Ion on the jaw.

Oh! no a such fearful thoughts forbear; 

Dear students do not shiver;

He crawled beneath a sheet of water, 

In the bed of a little river.

Then he called the tribes together, 

And his mouth began to hum,

For he tried to’sell the Blackfeet 

Some swell aluminum.

The flames passed on, and he was saved ; 

And fires, he ceased to fight;

. He hastened to the Western coast,

To quench his appetite.

When he finished, oh, poor Indians, 

They were crazy as a bat,

And the Blackfoot Chief was wearing 

A handy steamer for a hat.

For days he dressed up like a sport, 

And went to see the sights;

He saw a few quite classy ones,

And others, that were frights.

Then on to the Sierras,

Where the sun shines warm and cool;

And our hero would see so many things

That he never saw in school. 

But now our Ion’s home again, 

So^gentle and so shy; ;

He isn’t burned a single bit,

No cinders in his eye.

We trust his life is long and sweet,

An open face has he;

We’re glad to see him back again,

With us at M. A. C.

A Roaming Romeo

Jimmie

'

In the deathly stillness of the night,
When all the weary campus lay asleep ■,
A single solitary figure stole along 
Beneath the windows of the dormant coop.
At last below a certain sill he paused,
And softly raised his voice in cautious call;
And then again, again the signal came.
Now a rumble of the window weights 
Betokened that the moon-pierced pane was raised; 
And from the opening, hurled by gentle hand, 
Came forth an oxford worn out i’ the sole.
A sleep-robed Senior head did then address 
The hesitating youth below, to wit:

“Scat! ”
At which the cat 
Decided that 
He’d beat it.

Queries

What’s this with such a verdant sheen 
That ’long our campus walks is seen,
With close cropped hair and downcast eye, 
Afraid of every passerby?

(Oh, he’s a Freshman!)

Ah, see what comes with pompous gait, 
Approaching with an air of state;
And all do bow as he goes by,
With look of envy in their eye.

(Hush, he’s a Senior.)

And this, with glasses on his nose,
Poring o’er book, he studious goes;
He seeth not the co-eds bright,
He looks to neither left nor right.
(We call him, Grind.)

And who approaches from away,
A light around him like a star?
A crown of vict’ry on his brow,
A look determined— Do it now.’-’y i 

(in awe-struck tones—“An Alpha Zet.”)

A D ream

A co-ed slept, and as she slept she dreamed 

a dream.

She dreamed:

That it was spring term all the year.
That the study bell forgot to ring.
That she was specializing in  Campustry. ” 
That house meetings were discontinued.
That canoeing was encouraged.
That it was another half mile to the river 
That she might have six parties a term.
That she passed Organic Chemistry.
That she wasn’t in debt.
That she was at a chafing dish feed.
That Club C was noted for its delicacies— 
And at that she awoke with a start and found 
She was still—Down on the farm !

Yowling for their absent sons.

Howling tonight on the high board fence,

For them, there is a recompense,

With a mop of hair and a ten-pound rat,

I pray forgive the slams.

A girl, who spreads a banquet out 
When e’er we sit to dine|||l 
But e’en at that, pie; fists and rat,

No girl like that for mine.

But the college girl! Oh ! the college girl!
With the power and the will to charm; 

The dancing eyes and the rosy cheeks 

Just come from off the farm.

And the happy smiles, with the waving hair, 

She’s the pride of M. A. C.;
Though she can never cook or sew,
She’s the kind of a girl for me.

There Avas a doctor whose name was Peck,
He fell in a well and broke his neck.
It served him right, he should have stayed at home, 
Took care of the sick, and left the well alone.

A wad of gum lay on a walk,
’Twas sat on by a bum.

The chewing stuck him to the walk, 

So he was stuck, By Gum!

Dimmick rode his pony down the street,
The bricks were icy, and he lost his feet.
And then tight there in the dirty road,
The steed went doAvn on its heavy load.
A lot of people crowded ’round to see,
Said Dimmick to the croAvd, 

’Twas a horse on 

me.”

If I Were Prexy

If I were the Prexy at M. A. C.,
And the present Prexy, you know, were me, 
How different the state of things would be,

If I were Prexy.

If I got five thousand dollars a year,
And owned broad acres far and near,
Oh, I’d be happy at my career $

If I were Prexy.

I’d bow and smile from morn till night,
I’d keep the students’ faces bright,
I tell you things would be done up right,

If 1 were; Prexy.

I’d handle poor, helpless students with mits, 
I’d give the faculty forty fits.
And break their rules all into bits,

If I were Prexy.

I would not punish anyone,
And college life would all be fun,
With every pleasure under the sun, 

'

If I were Prexy.

I’d have them tear down Williams Hall 
For a dormitory not so tall,
To please the students one an d all,

If I were Prexy.

Old College Hall’s best days are o’er,
And a fine new gym is needed more,
So I’d strive for this, if it were a chore,

If I were Prexy.

I’d improve the river drive pell mell,
And furnish rustic seats as well,
So that all fussers would think it swell,

If I were Prexy.

The courses are too long, mayhap,
So I’d cut them down if I had to scrap,
And the Co-eds’ course would be a snap,

If I were^Prexy.

I’d build the coop another wing,
I’d teach the girls to dance and sing,
And I’d give the Dean and her staff full swing, 

If I were Prexy.

I’d never go ’round the campus at night, 
Instead, I’d stay home by the fire’s warm light, 
For fear I’d give sinning Co-eds a fright,

If I were Prexy.

I’d never lay down any rules, short or long,
I’d always be stone blind when students did 

wrong,

And life would be one continuous song,

If I were Prexy.

And now, fellow student, just what would 

you do

If Prexy tonight should change places with you? 
Would you feel happy or would you feel blue,

If you were Prexy?

A Phenomenon

A workman, endeavoring to explain to one of his 
mates what a phenomenon was, made the following 
attempt;

“It’s like this: Suppose you were to go out into the 

country and see a field of thistles growing.”

“Yes,” assented his friend.
“Well, that would not be a phenomenon!”
“No, that’s quite clear,” agreed the other man.
“But suppose you were to see a lark singing away up 

in the sky.”
“Yes.”
“Well, that would not be a phenomenon!”
“No, that also seems clear.”
“But imagine there is a bull in the field.”
“Yes,” his friend could imagine that.
“Even that would not be a phenomenon.”
“No.”
“But now, Bill, look here. Suppose you saw that 
bull sitting on them thistles whistling like a lark-^well, 
that would be a phenomenon!”—Tit-Bits.

Accommodating

Night was approaching and it was raining hard. The 
traveler dismounted from his horse and rapped at the 
door of the one farmhouse he had struck in a five-mile 
stretch of traveling. No one came to the door.

As he stood on the doorstep the water from the eaves 
trickled down his collar. He rapped again. Still no 
answer. He could feel the stream of water coursing 
down his back. Another spell of pounding, and finally 
the red head of a lad of twelve was stuck out of the 
second story window.

“Watcher want?’’ it asked.
“I want to know if I can stay here over night,’’ the 

traveler answered testily.

The red-headed lad watched the man for a minute 

or two before answering.

then closed the window.

“Ye kin fer all of me,’’ he finally answered, and

It is only necessary to pull

reloading, as well as firing, under 
control of the trigger finger.  Another

“You put me in the ‘Deaths’ column yesterday,” ex­

“Then you’re not dead?” said the editor.
“Certainly not,” replied the farmer, “and I demand 

that you correct it at once.”

“But the Clarion never retracts, sir,” mused the edi­

tor, “I don’t see what I can do.”

The farmer raved. “You must retract,” he yelled, 
“it means loss of business to me to be thought dead, 
even for a day.”

“Tell you what we’ll do,” said the man of strict ad­
herence, “we’ll put you in the ‘Births’ tomorrow.
