For here are forged the pillars of the state Of truest steel well wrought by wisdom's flame, Then forth they're sent, a strong and goodly frame, To bear the social structure high and great. And lo, how well they serve their fellow-men! Some preach the Word, some heal their ills and woes, Some teach the youth, some wield the mighty pen, Some make the laws and new reforms propose. Majestic walls, your pride is not in vain; Though mute ye stand, unbounded is your reign. P. P. K. '11 (7) [photo captions] J.

(CLASS OF 1911) CARNATION was born September 4, 1907. Her superiority in many ways was demonstrated early and many critics predicted a career for her. Her prowess intellectually and physically was the cause of jealousy and admiration on the part of her older sisters Dahlia, Violet, and Rose, whom she could easily defeat in tennis and whom she was always ready to play. The earlier years of her life were much like those of other children. She loved the things they loved and did them, too. Whether at work or play, she entered into it with a vim, that was beautiful to behold. Her summers were spent at the seashore where she enjoyed herself immensely and incidently gained new strength for the ensuing year. Now she finds it pleasant just to look back to those happy vacations. And should you come upon her suddenly, yen may find her with a dreamy far-away look in her eyes. She is dreaming of the past and again living through those happy hours. Perhaps the first real important step in her life was her debut, which she made March 15, 1910, (Junior Ex). Her sister Rose gave a dinner in her honor (Senior-Junior Banquet) which was a grand success, and the first important function she had ever attended. She seemed from this time forth awakened to a new realization of her responsibilities. No longer was she the care-free child, but she possessed a sweet grace and dignity which added to her charms, and made her more lovable than ever. Soon after this she took her summer vacation at the seashore, and here she had many admirers. Chief among' these was Mr. B. Z. World, whose admiration quickly ripened into love, and as she was quite as enamored with him as he with her, the inevitable happened. They became engaged. The wedding is to take place on June 8th next and the entire week preceding will be given over to festivities. We know she will fit into her new position as beautifully as she did into any of her previous ones, and if the wishes of her many friends count for anything, her life will be most successful and happy.

SINCE the beginning of things all organic matter has been ordained to activity. The first command of the Creator to man, was a command urging to activity. The law of activity is of first importance. It is a necessary means of developing the triple nature of man in his approximation toward his Father who bids him to be perfect, even as He is perfect. It is, moreover, a necessity as a guaranty against degeneration, for there is no standstill. There is no plateau on the mountain of life, - we are either ascending or descending. Man must struggle for progress, and he must struggle against retrogression. Work was made for man. Work was intended as a servant for man's full and symmetrical development in the image of Him who says: "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work." There is no side of man's triple being that does not have its enemy. He must constantly be on guard against internal decay and external violence. He is like an edifice that, while in course of construction needs guarding against destruction from without. As constant training makes the mighty and enduring muscle, so persevering activity makes the broad, vigorous, and penetrating mind. It is because the minds of so many men are a stagnant mass, that they are destined to do the pick-and-shovel work. It is activity of mind, it is reasoning, that drives dread superstition out of the savage and places him in the ranks of civilization. The mind has been likened to a ship going up-stream. It must exert energy, or it will be swept downward by the current. Darwin in his youth was a lover of poetry, but later in life, after long study of science exclusively, (28) when he returned to poetry, he found that he had lost the power to appreciate it. Something omitted today may throw a haze into the study of to-morrow; the more frequently and clearly we recall and review, the more tenaciously will impressions adhere to our minds. "An idle mind is the Devil's work shop." If our principle applies anywhere at all, it applies to the spiritual being. If the greatest battles fought are spiritual, is not then marvelous activity necessary for the development of the soul? And if the foe of humanity directs his attacks against the spiritual realm, is not the most active watchfulness necessary to keep that realm intact? Character dwells at the source of a stream to which we cannot get but by rowing against the current. It is not in the market, for sale. The only place where it may be obtained is on the private anvil, where each one must hammer and mould it by his own efforts. Man has realized the truth of "Qui non proficit, deficit." And as a result he delves into the bowels of the earth; he fathoms the ocean's depths; he traverses lands and seas with a speed that makes all mankind neighbors; he snatches the thunders from the clouds and forms them into speech; with searching eye he visits the inhabitants of infinite space; and even soars through the aerial domains, picturing in a physical way his spiritual approach toward his maker. Then let this heaven born creature exert his energies that in the end, in muscle, mind and morals, he be coformed more and more into that all-powerful, all-wise, and all-good Father who in love awaits his return to his eternal home.

FATHER Time brings with him many changes, and the Freshmen of last year have become the Sophomores of this year. As time moves on, we forget the past in our desire to look ahead and see what the future has in store for us. When organized, the class of 1913 had ten members; several of these have dropped out, and one new one has come in. Although we now number but six, we make up in quality what we lack in quantity. We have had to labor under disadvantages and difficulties. Some thought it foolish to organize a class with but six members, yet we fought for our colors, and no doubt if put to the test, could boast of as much class spirit as any class. The class of 1913 has representatives in every branch of athletics, in the literary societies, and in the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Three of our members expect to enter the ministerial fields of labor, while the rest expect to make themselves of use to the world as teachers. One of our members is a star player on the First Basket Ball Team, while another acts as substitute athletic teacher. We can also boast of several Physics and Latin sharks. We have shown our eagerness to further the friendly feeling between the Freshies and the Sophs by entertaining the Freshmen on Tuesday evening, February 21. We are always seen in Chapel, take interest in our school work, and attend our classes regularly. We love the truth and cherish its principles. As our class is only in the second year of its career, we have many opportunities before us. We are all striving for success, and success means perseverance. Our colors, white and gold, represent our love for higher ideals, white being the symbol of purity, and gold the symbol for worth. Our destiny is what we make it here in College. The success for which we are striving we shall attain sometime. The students of to-day are the men of to-morrow. Watch us. (34) The Freshman (35) Freshmen Class OFFICERS THEO. J.

C. W. C. has had many noble occurrences during her existence. Many different classes have organized, have gone through the usual course of training and have graduated with honor. But of all the dates recorded on the bright pages of her history, September 13, 1910, stands pre-eminent, for on that memorable day was born the class of 1914. The class itself is a very remarkable one, composed of fifteen boys and five girls of strong intellect, sound character, and indomitable will-(Whew!) recognized as one of the strongest of C. W. C. In establishing this reputation we have had many obstacles to overcome; disadvantages and difficulties to undergo, yet we have never complained, but have quietly striven to better our conditions. We believe that bright minds and determination can accomplish great results and these qualities are not foreign to the Freshmen. Our destiny is determined by our ability and energy. We believe that we can accomplish much by perseverance. We are resolved to put forth every effort that we may make history that shall grow brighter as it is passed from generation to generation. May we shun no work that will hinder us in fulfilling our motto: "To Conquer is to live enough." (38) SENIOR ACADEMY (39) Senior Academy. OFFICERS WALTER H.

Music soothes the heart to stillness, As in fairyland romancing, Soothes the pains of sorrow's illness, Fills the heart with chords entrancing. Music moves the heart to action, Stirs the soul-strings, courage lending, Urges on with ceaseless passion, Never fearing, ever strengthening. Music is a soul's devotion; Like sweet incense higher rising. It allays the soul's emotion, Lifts the burden, peace abiding. Truly in its Lydian measures, With its winsome notes resounding, Music charms the heart with pleasures, Gives it grace and joy abounding. L. J. D. '11.

"Speak the speech I pray you, as I pronounced it to you." Hamlet MAN is great in proportion to his ability to express the divinity that is within him. The study of Expression in its spoken form is a great factor in the development of character. The injunction, "Know thyself," can only be accomplished by the study of others. No selfish nature can attain greatness in the art of public speaking. Before a student completes a course in Expression he has found that in order to be efficient, he must get out of himself; he must create new worlds of beauty, painting "on the white canvass of his imagination," worlds of which the leaf, the flower, the streamlet, are, scintillating. The study of vocal expression is no longer thought to be a study merely suited to the professional, for every teacher, lawyer, clerk or engineer, in whatever phase of life-to be successful must study the art of expressing himself, for "The soul must overflow if thou anothers soul wouldst reach." The aim of the Department of Public Speaking in Central Wesleyan College is to develop ease and grace in movement, earnestness in speech, self-control, and a pleasing modulated voice. Each term we have given a recital which stood for the steady progress of which the commencement program is the climax. The short sketches given by two or more of the departments were always received with applause, but the participants themselves, through the training, received the greatest amount of good. When students combine their literary genius with their Elocution, then Central Wesleyan will produce her own drama. Why not? Other colleges are doing it! We have winners on the oratorical platform, winners in athletics. Why not produce our own literature?

THE Art Department of Central Wesleyan College is constantly growing and the standard of its work is being lifted higher. We have frequent exhibits of students' work and we have also exhibits from the Art Institute of Chicago, which lend inspiration. The need is not that beauty should be added artificially to daily life, but that, through its cultivation, life itself, in work, relationship, and enviorment should be made a fine art.

Lotz, Bible Chairman Reinhard F. Steinbach, Social Chairman THE first student whom a young man coming to Central Wesleyan meets, is a member of the Young Men's Christian Association. At the beginning of the year every train, day or night, is met by the Y. M. C. A. Reception Committee and the new student is made to feel that he is more than welcome. The work of the Y. M. C. A., however, does not stop here. During the first week of school a "Stag Social" is given at which all become acquainted and have a royal good time. Then comes a membership rally, the aim of which is to induce every man to join the Association. The membership during the past year was seventy-two. Finally comes the Bible and Mission Study Campaign. Every man is urgently asked to join 'a class in systematic Bible or Mission Study. Eighty men were enrolled in this work. On each Tuesday evening a meeting is held. Sometimes this is a song service, then again a prayer meeting, or there is an address by an advanced student or by a Professor, or by some outside man of repute. These talks cover various subjects but one series, the "Lifework Series" takes up the various occupations a young man may enter. The aim of the Y. M. C. A. is to develop true manhood and to instil the desire to take up that lifework by which one can best serve God and man. The Young Men's Christian Association is indeed a band of men united in Christian friendship marching onward and upward. Paul H. Beck. (73) Y.W.C.A.

Martin, Treasurer Anna Rinkel, Bible Chairman Edith Kriege, Social Chairman Alice Richmond, Intercollegiate Chairman AS the name indicates the Young Women's Christian Association is a Christian organization of the girls of Central Wesleyan. Its primary object is growth along spiritual lines. It takes interest in each girl by keeping in touch with her, and tries to create a closer bond of fellowship by sociability and Christian work. At the beginning of the year a social was given, and we were enabled to begin the year's work with forty-eight members. The meetings were well attended, but the interest might have been better. A renewed interest in Christian work, however, was shown after the series of meetings conducted by Dr. Robbins. When these meetings had closed, a membership campaign was taken up, during which every girl in college was approached by some girl of the Association. The names of fifty--four girls were added. This is the largest membership the Y. W. C. A. of Central Weseyan College has ever had. The regular meetings are held on Tuesday evening of every week. At this meeting, either one of the girls gives a short talk, or an outside speaker addresses us. A series of talks known as the ''Womanhood Series" proved especially interesting and helpful. Mission and Bible Study classes met regularly every week. Bible Study Courses of ten weeks were used. Two classes studied, "The Parables of Christ," and one, "The Gospel According to St. John." In Mission Study one class used, "Islam : A Challenge to Faith," and the other, "The Conquest of India." The Cabinet found "Individual Work for the Individual," by Trumbull, very helpful.

Korb, Louis J. Duewel OUR Motto is: "For the Love of Christ constraineth us." 2 Cor. 5, 14. We call ourselves volunteers which means, "It is our purpose, it God permits, to become foreign missionaries." We are under no obligations to go to the foreign field if legitimate reasons prevent us, but if God shall prosper our development as he has awakened the call, we intend to be foreign missionaries some day. We would not underestimate the work at home, but we also believe that God has a special work for every one and if we will not do our part it will remain undone. Each one of us is a consecrated Christian, and we are very anxious to have all the world know the Christ. When the time comes we expect to apply to the "Board," though we do not think it a disgrace if the "Board" should refuse us. If such be the case we shall spare no effort in helping others to go who are more capable. For, outside of the direct enlisting of men and women as candidates, the Volunteer Movement has the supreme purpose of keeping the subject of Foreign Missions alive and continually before the student. We meet weekly, have a devotional meeting or study such books as, Mott's "The Decisive Hour of Christian Missions" and "Call, Qualifications and Preparation of Missionary Candidates." The main line of thought of these books is how one can best make preparation for the work, the difficulties others had to overcome, and how they enjoyed the work. Books of this kind inform us with regard to missions and help to broaden our intellectual horizon. A. L. (75) Die Epworth-Liga PROF. JOHN HELMERS, President and First Vice-President LAURENCE W. C.

THE literary society is the laboratory of the classroom. Here the book knowledge is tested, and theory is put to practice. A man may be an encyclopedia of knowledge, but unless he has assimilated the disjunctive facts into one comprehensive w:hole. he is like a reference work without an index. There is a marked tendency in the daily routine of the classroom to monotony and narrowness; and it is the purpose of the literary society to counteract this influence. The twentieth century is appealing to- the college for broad-minded, wide-awake men, and no substitutes or "just as good" are accepted. Expression is as important as thought. It is true enough that a poor thought well stated is more impressive than a good thought poorly stated; but best of all is a good thought well stated. Proficiency in public speaking' can be attained only through practice. Quaking knees, parched lips, and clogged brains must be overcome; colloquialisms and idiosyncracies must be laid aside. A valuable 'actor for this end is the mutual criticism which is exchanged between the members of a literary society. Every person has peculiar habits and crude expressions of which he is unaware. Often, a mere suggestion will suffice for correction. Goethenia has been constantly striving for these ideals. Special emphasis has been laid on debating; for we realize that this is one of the most beneficial forms of speaking' to cultivate quick thought and clear expression. With one or two exceptions we had a program every week. Occasionally for variety and interest humorous programs were given. "The Graduating Exercises of the Possum Hollow School" will never be forgotten. Goethenia looks back upon a very prosperous year and she is pioud of her sixteen members so full of energy and enthusiasm. P. P. K. (80) Philomathia Society.

We will publish a few extracts from the Philo diary : - September 23, 1910. - Philomathia held its first meeting, and the girls are manifesting an enthusiastic spirit. I met Miss Richmond, the president. She is commonly called "Jane," her sunny locks hung around her temples like golden fleece. Oh! you "Ott" to see her. October 14, 1910. - I met a few more of the girls. Some of them are full of originality. After the meeting I caught a glimpse of Nelle Calvert. She seems so zealous, and yet so modest. Of her cousin, Miss Vosholl, Shakespeare had well said, "In each cheek appears a pretty dimple." January 22, 1911. - My! but those girls did cover themselves with laurels to-night. What budding geniuses they are ! Miss Zimmermann proved that "Song and violin music hath charms." Miss Adolph blossomed as an elocutionist in "When Malinda Sings." I wish everyone could have heard Miss Hartel's "The Call of the Wild." Miss Heilert's words "of learned strength and thundering sound amazed the gazing audience gathered round." February 17, 1911. - Four new members to-night. I learned that Miss Hackmann is never idle, but thrifty and thoughtful of others. I was astonished at Miss Bueltemann, that one so small could carry all she knew. Miss Huck is modest and shy, with yellow hair and dark brown eyes. Miss Messerschmith never says much, she makes the piano do the talking. March 4, 1911. - The girls are gone and I am alone again. They do not need me to tell their story; as long as the wheels ct: time revolve in their cycles, the ability of the Philo girls will be a lasting monument. (83) Garfield Society. OFFICERS F. W.

For enthusiasm and singleness of purpose, this year has been remarkable in its history. A quartet composed of excellent voices and an orchestra of five instruments have been visible results of a wide-awake society. In conclusion let us relate an incident in which every member of the society figures strongly. There was once a Miller who had a crooked Boldt which he took to the Klein-schmidt to have straightened. Now Meine 'schmidt was very Frank about the matter. He said (and rightly so) that Messrs. Theodore Roosevelt and Julius Caesar had Mor-say about matters of international jurisdiction than did he. The Hackman was very busy that day, there being a Schow(engerdt) in town, so for fear of arousing Gerdeman's ire he walked over to see Theodore and Julius. These gentlemen, both being Hole-men, suggested that the Fred-ful Miller be buried in a large hole. They engaged the services of a Grubber who began to dig into the Mire (Meyer) but soon, a brilliant show-Bill catching his eye, he lost his Holt and broke his tool upon a large Eisenstein who was sadly lacking in Brehns[.] [group photo caption] GARF[I]ELD ORCHESTRA (86) ATHLETICS ATHLETIC BOARD PROF.

It is better to touch one chord than to pull many strings. You can easily classify the students among the wills, won'ts and can'ts. A man who is only as honest as he has to be, will be as dishonest as he can be. Some men have their wish-bone where their back bone ought to be. There is a tide in the affairs of students, which, taken at its flood, leads straight to matrimony. Don't forget "I forgot" won't do in exams, or the crisis of life. It is the sign of the small mind to condemn what it does not understand. You can lead a man to college but you can't make him think. Education does not consist in learning a lot of unnecessary things. There are two sides to every question-your side and the wrong side. Listen to the man who says things, but believe in the man who does things. By being broad-minded most of you mean that you will not let any scruple interfere with your pleasures. The man who can but doesn't must give way to the man who can't but tries. A man's work is his best recommendation. When a so-called vocalist murders a song, it doesn't deaden the sound. Wise men of past ages were no smarter than wise men of today, but talked less. Some orators have a fine command of other men's language. (92) Literary "LITERATURE IS THE THOUGHT OF THINKING SOULS" CARLYLE. (93) The Mission of America. First Honors, Enlish Oratorical Contest 1911 The tendency of human progress is towards peace. History clearly points to the fact that in the upward march of humanity wars have greatly decreased. So far has civilization advanced today, that no longer do hordes of barbarians descend upon a country to rob and burn and murder. The days of barbarism have passed. Then too, religious wars have ceased. With the Peace of Westphalia they were practically ended. Alexanders and Napoleons are also no longer to be found. Since 1815 monarchs have ceased to wage wars for mere co.nquest. Then finally most of the nations have popular governments. Authority is more and more expressed by the many. This means revolutions have ended. Thus we see that wars have been reduced to the minimum and the age of peace has really begun. Parallel with these changes we find an equal advance toward the reign of law. Arbitration has long ago passed from the stage of resolution to that of reality. It has been the means of settling no less than six hundred disputes. Peaceful arbitration has settled almost fifty disputes since 1900. In but a single instance has the losing power failed to abide by the decision and even this case would be lacking if the arbiters had fully understood their powers. ******** The Hague not only can settle all disagreements, but it is even impossible for a nation to refuse to submit to it a question affecting the welfare of another. Our representatives at the Hague Conference succeeded in having a resolution passed, which authorizes governments in case of disputes to directly appeal to the Hague. Where is the country which could ignore such an appeal? Public opinion everywhere rules and demands justice. What government could under these conditions say: "No, I will not submit the question to a just decision?" It is true that no international legislature nor international executive yet exists. But the arbitration movement is still slowly advancing. The Interparliamentary Union will at no d'stant time be an international legislature. An executive will also be provided. Even while we are wondering how this is to occur, the change is taking place. The great network of commerce is drawing all nations together, nerves of wire bind one country to another, international gatherings bring about good feeling, and moral and intellectual forces are telling. The day is not far distant when we (94) shall in addition to the permanent tribunal of the Hague, have a federation of nations. We have now shown that wars have greatly decreased and that the rule of reason has really begun. But what means this? Ah, it means that the time has come when nations may limit their armaments. It is no time for disarmament, but it is time for the great powers to arrest the growth of armaments already sufficient for every legitimate purpose. But you may say the time will never be, when all nations shall limit their armaments. This is indeed true unless some one nation takes the initiative. Some great power must first singly limit her armaments and then the whole world will follow. In opposition to this it is contended that no nation dare take the step alone. To do so would mean national ruin. However well this argument may apply to the states of Europe it utterly fails when directed to the United States. America is the logical nation to lead the way. In the first place America's armaments are large enough for defense. We rank third in naval power, and in the efficiency of our warships, second to none. We have a standing army of 80,000 men and millions of volunteers to rely upon if necessity demands it. Moreover we have excellent coast-defenses and those well-acquainted with military affairs tell us that no foreign ships could enter our harbors with malicious intent without being destroyed by mines. We are also protected on the east by 3000 miles of water and on the west by an expanse of 5000 miles. ' We are self-sustaining, and would well be able to take care of ourselves if all commercial channels were closed. Under these circumstances what nation dare attack us? But why speak of war? Where in the wide world has America an enemy? Germany is our friend because of the 6,000,000 German citizens in our country, England is our friend through ties of blood and language, France has such a strong feeling for us that she expressed it by a Statue of Liberty, Russia has not forgotten President Roosevelt and Japan-yes Japan too is our friend. With this latter statement, however, Captain Hobson and the other naval experts will not agree. In every magazine article that they write, in every after-dinner speech which they make, they cry out, "America watch Japan be not deceived, she is waiting for the opportunity to destroy you." Does Japan really harbor thoughts of war? The declarations of her public men, do not say so; the declarations of our public men do not say so; in fact, they proclaim the opposite. Are all these statements of good will and friendship lies? (95) No! America and Japan are the best of friends, and that too in spite of the fact that yellow Journalism through unprincipled foreign correspondents has done its utmost to cause dissension. So foolish is all this war talk about Japan that our Japanese ambassador, Luke Wright, declares that it is not even "respectable nonsense." Many, however, point to China as the nation that will some day threaten our existence. Well, indeed, may America fear if she must meet China in battle. China has 400,000,000 inhabitants, her vast natural resources are just beginning to be developed and her possibilities are unlimited. It will be very simple for her to secure military ability. That a Chinese soldier is efficient when properly trained and equipped, was clearly proved in the Taiping Rebellion. General Gordon in a very short time changed a many times defeated army into an ever-victorious force that soon put down all opposition. We simply dare not meet China in battle. We must show her that our motives are lofty, our thoughts the kindliest and our policy unselfish. This can be done only if we limit our armaments and so live that we are her friends. Then and only then will the "Yellow Peril" be dispelled. But some one will say that we have become a world power and must be prepared to act as such. In our new role we must preserve the world's peace and therefore an ever-increasing military force is demanded. How absurd a contention! Germany has a large navy in order to preserve peace, England has a large navy in order to preserve peace, France has a large navy in order to preserve peace, and finally the United States must have a large navy in order to preserve peace. Does preparation for war make for peace? No, if you desire peace, do not only profess peace, but also act peace. A club-in-the-hand policy can never bring it. The whole weight of the argument for a limitation of armaments is only strengthened by the fact that we have become a world-power, because our action in limiting our armaments will be all the more powerful in its irfluence. We see now that conditions in the United States are such that she may limit her armaments and we repeat, "America is the logical nation to lead the way." To the first fact, that arbitration has come to stay; we now add the second, America may safely cease increasing her armaments. These two facts alone warrant a limitation, but by the addition of a third, the evil of militarism, we not only contend thai America may limit her armaments, but even that she should. Military expenditures are everywhere rapidly increasing. Hardly have Germany's hammers become silent, signifying the completion of another battleship, when in (96) response England's coast reverberates with a din of great activity. A battleship in Germany means at least one more in England. The United States imitates England, Prance dare not fall behind and as a result we find the whole world running a mad military race. So intense has the rivalry become that the leading nations annually spend $2,000,000,000 for their military establishments. The results of this struggle are well known. Russia must borrow $75,000,000 annually in order to continue her existence, small Japan must groan under a debt of over one and one-fourth billions, France must reach the limit of her resources, Italy with a large army on her back must stagger towards bankruptcy, Germany must stand idly by and see her national debt increase from $18,000,000 to over $1,000,000,000 in a single generation and even haughty England must witness how her dreadnoughts are making her poor. Every reform movement in all these countries is checked, because the world is in the grasp of militarism. But let us turn to our own country. She too is suffering because her development is limited by the same fatal policy. We have millions of acres of arid lands to irrigate, millions of acres of swamp lands to drain, rivers to render navigable, harbors to deepen, natural resources to conserve and agricultural stations to establish, and yet for all these our Congress can appropriate but a pittance because we are spending 72 per cent of ovir total income in paying for past wars and in the preparation of those of the future. Besides we must grapple with the great social problems of the slum and with the terrible plagues, the hook-worm and tuberculosis. In fact, whatever way we turn, we are met by absolute demands requiring millions of dollars. As long as these United States appropriate $215,000,000 for millitary purposes, these situations can only partially be met and this country and the world must suffer. The necessity then for a limitation of armaments is urgent, even more, limitation is demanded. Humanity the world over is suffering and is anxiously waiting for some one to call a halt in this military struggle. We as Americans have a great obligation to fulfil. Three great facts are staring us in the face. In the first place, in the place of wars there has arisen a permanent tribunal through which all disputes can and will be settled; in the second place, we have no need for larger armaments; and in the third place, the world is crying for relief from militarism. Under these conditions can there be any doubt as to the mission of our country? No, none whatever! The mission of America is to limit her armaments and thus to lead the world into a new light where righteousness shall prevail. Paul H. Beck. (97) [Picture] THE CLASS OF 1911 AT THEIR EX. (98) Morituri Salutamus. "Morituri Salutamus," were the gladiators' words, As they paused before the Caesars, leaning on their polished swords. Ready for the deadly conflict, be the foe or beast or man, While a thrill of admiration through the tense assembly ran. Well they knew that in that struggle there upon the yellow sands, Death with all its hideous terrors hung expectant o'er their bands; Knew that when Rome's frenzied people, carnage-glutted, turned away, Broken, bleeding, quivering, gasping, all would end their lives that day. Oh, the piteous waste of manhood, brain and brawn and nerve and heart! Rome, thou ruthless, fell despoiler of the marts of trade and art! Drunk with power, torn by passions, seething with the fires of hell, Long before destruction 'whelmed thee, thou didst ring thine own death knell. "Morituri Salutamus," centuries have not stilled that cry, Lust of power, greed for lucre still omnipotence defy. "Bear ye one another's burdens," "destroy not him for whom Christ died." "Love thy neighbor," "bless and curse not," still be thy life's rule and guide. Brawny-armed and hairy-chested, see the toiler at his work, For thy comfort and thy pleasure, much would lack did he but shirk. Take thou also up thy burden, do the manly part as he, Shoulder then to shoulder standing face whatever fate may be, Teachers, preachers, students, craftsmen, toilers all with head and hand, Bend to bold and wise achievement what men's needs of right demand. Teach anew the old, old faith then, with whatever power you can Of the fatherhood of the Almighty and the brotherhood of man. C. L. W. '94 (99) The Clover Club --1902 We know a friendship whose worth is pure gold, We have tested it over and over, It has brought pleasures and blessings untold To the girls in the dear "Four-leaf Clover." Trust and devotion, our friendship exalts, And sympathy helps to pass over, All of the failures, and all of the faults, Of the girls in our true "Four-leaf clover." Classmates and helpmates and friends of long years, Gay companions of childhood's bright days, Through our lives have been blended the same mirth and tears, Through our souls the same prayer each prays. In various courses our lives may now trend, But we've woven our four-leafed tether, Which will bloom and cast fragrance o'er paths we shall wend, Still binding our "wee" four together. L. S. '11. (100) Max, the Class Orator and His Policy "To flunk or not to flunk, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler to the mind to suffer The stings and disapprovals of Professors, Or to take arms against a host of studies, And by pursuance, end them! Lo, finish, to graduate No more; and by graduation, to say we end The heartache and the thousand natural shocks The student is heir to-is a consummation Devoutly to be wished." "Max, the orator, has done full justice to his name as usual," remarked Ned, the cynic, when his classmate had concluded his eloquent discourse. Picture to yourself, if you can, a typical college-boy's room. The requisites are innumerable pennants, cushions, window seats, extra-ordinary "skiddo-sticks," tennis rackets, photographs and snap shots and expressive souvenirs of important occasions. Everything is arranged in artistic disorder. One would think a Nebraska tornado had tossed them there and then left suddenly for more important business. The result, however, is picturesque, careless and comfortable. Of course, there are books, too, but it would be a task to locate them as they, too, were sujected to the cyclonic arrangement. There is only one more week until the final examinations. The death of the Junior class is almost at hand and the victims are preparing for the event. A few of the boys are not afraid for they have worked earnestly and conscientiously, all year. In fact, they are looking forward to the quiz as a test of their scholarship. But there are some who are filled with anxiety as to the outcome of the test. They have been "sliding," all year, and as Jack (101) remarked. "After you've been coasting a while, it's hard to gain a firm foothold." "Yes, and to stand on your own feet," concluded Ned. So much for an explanation of time, place and characters. "How presumptious of you to twist up the great work of a great man like Shakespeare, in such a way that it will fit your own particular case," declared Ned after his friend's poetical outburst. "Well, anyway, to flunk or not to flunk, and to be or not to be a Senior, are practically the same thing," said Max, airily. Ned yawned impolitely. "It could at least be said of you with absolute truth, 'guaranteed to wear-on one's nerves,'" he returned cruelly and then turned to his analytics. For fifteen minutes there was absolute silence in the room and the three occupants dug away at their respective studies. It was Max who disturbed the peace by whirling his Philosophy across the room with such vehemence that it barely escaped utter destruction by missing Jack's head, the space of one centimeter. "What the use of cramming?" exclaimed the former, in disgust. "I've not failed once, all year, so I'll just depend on the inspiration of the moment." "What will you do, if there is no inspiration?" asked Ned sarcastically. "Do as I do!" advised Jack from the corner. "How's that?" Max was evidently unaware of Jack's usual method of procedure in examinations. Before Jack could answer Ned was explaining, "Just a note book, a look in, and a good grade. That's it in a few words!" At that moment there was a rap at the door and Frederic entered. The boys called him "The practical" for such he had often proved himself to be. He seated himself on the table for he insisted that his health made it necessary to seek a high attitude. "Pardon me, but I couldn't help hearing your discussion, just now, and it reminded me of something Max said once, in his inimitable style. 'Honesty is the best policy, with which to insure one's life against a hail storm of rebukes, a flood of false accusations, the fires of (102) adversity or moral death.' It impressed me at the time not only because it revealed our friend's ingenuity in combining figures o!f speech but also because it revealed his noble character." Jack looked at Max in admiration. Ned was indifferent while Max, himself, tried to look disgusted. Kindly advising the boys that they'd better study and not talk, if they wanted to make good grades, Frederic hurried back to his room to his history. His advice had, strange to say, an effect on the three boys. Max actually dug for his Philosophy (under the pillow), Ned became engrossed in his analytics, and Jack fell asleep over his Livy. Just a week later, the boys were again assembled in Ned's room discussing the "fiery ordeal," as Max put it. "I don't see how you can call it 'fiery,' " said Jack, "why, I was almost frozen with horror,"-"When he discovered that he had forgotten his notes," concluded Jack. "I'm glad I forgot them now," he replied. "I didn't flunk in a single study. My highest grade was seventy-five and my lowest seventy-one, but the little I got, I came by honestly," he affirmed proudly. "Truly, honesty is the best policy." Max was beginning when Frederic blew into the room in great excitement. "Boys have you heard the news? Ben Burton is expelled. The faculty, you know, has often warned us against notes in examinations. They knew some of the fellows were still using them and decided to expel whomever they caught cheating. Ben Burton's the only one so far! I was awfully afraid: Jack could not come back either. How'd you manage to escape, Jack? Did you suddenly become honest or just a little more crooked?" Jack explained and Frederic said heartily, "I'm awfully glad, old boy, that you didn't disgrace your class!" Jack was glad, too, for he thought of his folks and how bitterly disappointed they would have been, had he been sent home in disgrace. "As I said before, honesty is the best pol-" But the audience had fled from the burning eloquence of "Max, the Class Orator." M. A. K. (103) [group photo caption] A BOUQUET AT THE LADIES' HOME (104) Eisenmayer vs. Ladies' Home. Tf you seek angelic beauty, To the left, please, turn your eyes; But if wisdom is your standard, Then our boys will win the prize. Better than to paint their faces, As their sister's o'er the way, On a piece of mortal paper Passing beauty to display. They will write their names in history, On that great, immortal page; And, though now they're unassuming, All the world will be their stage. Yet our boys will not be selfish, But their greatness they will share- Well, with whom I need not mention, Look upon the picture there. Even now they seem attracted To that building o'er the street, Not alone by hash and "stand-by" And the other things to eat- But if you would know the reason, You may quickly learn it all. And when next we have a concert, Take a peep in Kessler Hall. Paul P. Kies. (105) [photo caption] CENTRAL WESLEYAN'S NEW DINING HALL (106) REV. H. Zimmermann, the efficient and wide-awake Superintendent and Treasurer of Central Wesleyan College, is a man of fine aesthetical taste, keen insight into the logical arrangement of things, and an eye for business. He has changed and renovated things about the College buildings, improved the tennis courts, and trimmed up and beautified the campus until it has the aspect of a veritable park. (107) Discoveries of a College Boy. AS I had no mantel in my room at college where I could rest my feet, I nailed a pair of slippers to the wall in such a way that I could sit before them and tuck my feet into them, thus supporting them finely. As my trousers were getting worn from too frequent match scratching, I sewed a small piece of sandpaper to the proper spot. This was effective and saved the trousers. When a suspender button came off my trousers I poked a hole through the waist band with my knife and put a shoe string through the hole and the buttonhole of the suspenders, tying the ends in a neat bow, I always kept a dish of bananas in my room to insure sufficient skins to keep my tan shoes clean. My mother, having sent me two dollars for fruit, I walked into the country and bought a barrel of apples of a farmer. He brought them to the college and placed the barrel in a corner of my room. The boys thought it a good idea. Ode to Cicero. (Tune: Old Black Joe.) Gone are those days when the pony we did ride, Gone are my chums, who rode with me astride, Gone to a land, to a poorer land I know, For I hear their gentle voices calling, Oh, Cicero ! Chorus. Oh, Cicero! Oh, Cicero! With a pony calm and true We hail thy visage, praise thy beauties, Oh, Cicero. (108) The Beatitudes of a Pedagogue. Blessed are the studious, for theirs is the kingdom of knowledge. Blessed are they that brood over their studies, for they shall be learned. Blessed are they that make careful preparation, for they shall infuse knowledge. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after knowledge, for they shall be filled. Blessed are the thought-inbibers, for they shall obtain wisdom. Blessed are they that seek after understanding, for they shall obtain the riches of learning. Blessed are the truth seekers, for they shall be called the pillars of learning. Blessed are they which are persecuted, being agitators, for they shall rouse to action and create ideals. L. J. D. '11. Sparks From the Anvil. There's only one way to get an inspiration - to go after it. For some people intellectual suicide is not a great crime. Work, work, work, sweep the cobwebs from your brain. There is no back-bone factory anywhere. Nothing but an ideal ever endures on earth. Thoughtlessness is selfishness. We as a human race have not learned to fully appreciate the upbuilding of character and vigor inculcated into the life of young men and women by the instructors of small colleges. (109) Gleanings of Knowledge Some of the most delightful people in the world are those who will rob you of your time. Every great teacher must be a creator of passions, not merely a manufacturer of ideas. Man feels his nothingness in the presence of nature's powers. School should be merely an introduction to study. Many professional men fail because they stop studying after they have become established. For every dishonest man in office there are 50,000 honest men. Modern theology does not ask whether the whale swallowed Jonah or Jonah the whale, but rather: "Is your life centered upon the fact of Jesus Christ." I bless the man who gives me a new view-point of life. I curse the man who lets me slumber on. One can be a good theologian and still not be a good religionist. The great turning points on a man's highway are often without sign-boards. The worth of a man is found not in his pocket but in his soul.
