And let thy frame forever stand, With grandeur circled 'round, Thou beacon light, serene and grand; For thou hast called them all. When from those spacious depths we hear. Thy peals that call to prayer, The silvery tones bring hope and cheer; For thou hast called them all. The swelling notes resound again. All hail our Alma Mater, And every heart takes up the strain; For thou hast called them all. All hail to thee, dear old, old bell, Thy memories are sweet, They lovingly will e'er enfold; For thou hast called them all. G. H. S. '13. (7) [Picture] (8) Board of Trustees Term Expiring 1913. REV.

(20) The Dining Hall FOR a visitor, one of the most interesting sights at College is the gathering of the students in Dining Hall. The room itself is light and airy, the furniture and table ware of the best and the food appetizing. Three times a day, at the ringing of the bell, the students come trooping in from all directions-boys and girls-a hundred or more in number. A jolly happy set they are. Every table of ten or a dozen forms a little social circle of young men and maidens who greet one another joyously and sometimes hilariously. They come not only to eat, but also to enjoy a good time. Voice, manner, everything indicates tire happiness of youth. Quickly the buzz and confusion of conversation subsides. Grace is said, and then the real business begins. At first there is comparative quiet but soon question and answer, wit and humor, serous and sober the conversation as an accompaniment becomes more and more animated. When tire bell taps as a signal that those who wish are excused, the surprised looks on many faces show that the time was most pleasantly spent. In the evening the meal ends with a short family worship, consisting of song and prayer. Then happily all scatter to their various rooms and duties, leaving the Superintendent and his help to make preparation for tire "reunion" the next morning. (21) The Field Secretary THE world is my parish. This adequately expresses our feeling as Field Secretary of Central Wesleyan College. The alumni of Central Wesleyan College are actively engaged in fifty one different States or foreign countries. The ex-students who number between seven and eight thousand are scattered all over the world. During the twenty months of service as Field Secretary, we filled engagements in Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas, assisting in evangelistic services and doing campaign work for the College. A monthly bulletin, was also issued since November last and generally distributed among the patrons of the school. The time has now come when the solicitation of the funds must be made the paramount issue. The Semi-Centennial Celebration is only a year off. The next twelve months must be months of great donations for our beloved College. $150,000.00 is our goal. This amount is absolutely necessary to meet the present needs. Central Wesleyan can use more. She dare not ask for less. $150,000.00 can easily be raised if each alumnus or friend will depend upon himself, and not on some one else, to make this campaign a success. Already about $10,000 have been secured on this amount and there is a conditional Promise of from $5,000.00 to $15,000.00 if the whole amount is raised. We must raise $2,500 a week, every week, for the next twelve months, beginning June the first 1913, and ending May the thirty first, 1914. Both of these dates are the Lord's day. Truly this is the Lord's business. Can the Lord depend on you Have we not at least one alumnus, who will make us a good beginning by taking it upon himself to make four payments of $2,500 during the Jubilee Year. Have we not a few more who will make two such payments each during the next twelve months Have not we several others who will make a donation of $2,500 before June 1914 Are there not many others who in groups of twos, fives, tens, twenties, twenty-fives and fifties will answer this call and advance the campaign for one week Who will be the first to respond to this appeal with the condition that the full amount is secured Let every one do his best. A ten thousand dollar man can make this move a success with a 10,000.00 support. He can kill it with a $1,000.00 donation. A fifty dollar man can make this campaign a success with a $50.00 gift. He can handicap it with a $5.00 subscription. Catch the spirit. Give according as God has prospered yon and the Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration of Central Wesleyan College will be a glorious success. J. E.

Se!nior S!!enior S!!!enior SENIORS! ! ! ! (30) Reflections of a Senior IT is a rainy day in June, the day before Commencement. The Senior sits in the room meditating: Senior? No, it must be a mistake! but the black folds of his gown tell him it is not. With a flash his mind goes back to that day, nearly five years ago, when he entered college, a raw "prep." What foolish stunts he did in that year and in the following year of verdant Freshmanhood! and Sophomore-well everybody knows what that means: The year when class colors and class numerals appear on everything . When "my class" is the most important in school. Next came Junior, when first he understood what it really means to be an upper classman, that his conduct influences the whole school; when he realized that his years in college were a most important period of life which he dared not squander. And nine months ago: Senior! He hadn't felt the pride then that, as a Freshman, he had thought he would feel. No graver feelings had filled his mind and among them that strange feeling of mingled joy and sorrow, which at this moment possesses him with full force. He recalls the many pleasures of his college days; he thinks of the pleasant associations with his comrades and the various strong friendships which he has formed; and most of all, he thinks of the close personal relation between him and all the professors. He will always remember their kindness toward the bashful "prep" and their patient forbearance with the wild Freshman and the egotistic Sophomore. Nor has he forgotten how, when, later, he struggled with himself and with his thoughts, the president's office stood open and the president's heart stood ready to help and to sympathize; nor how every nrember of the faculty showed a personal interest in him, and often gave him encouragement that made him take a new grip on life and on his work. And tomorrow he must say farewell; tomorrow he will be an alumnus and go out into the world to carve out his own destiny. He looks into the dim future and views the great panorama of struggle and toil and restless striving. In the great sea of life, what place will he occupy, he and his class? What will be the outcome? He is troubled and paces the floor thoughtfully. Then a light breaks into the room, he steps to the window; the sun has forced its way through the clouds, all of them have a silver lining and the view of the landscape is of almost unearthly beauty and splendor. His brow clears and he stretches out his arms towards tire setting sun, "O God, a revelation! a picture of life; sorrow and suffering, struggle and disappointment, but with it all and above all, though invisible for a time, Success.

"A shark in German, she is, indeed" (39) The Junior Class THERE is something in a name that appeals to students, and one word will not be forgotten by the class of nineteen hundred and fourteen. You may ask what is the word? It is "Junior." We are favored with courage and strength. There is not a prophecy of decay, not a cry of protest among us. Our work as Sophomores last year was merrily done. The pleasures, joys, and hours of toil are remembered as if they had been seen in many happy dreams. During the summer vacation we rested free from books, but now, as rosebuds waking from a winter's sleep, we have begun a year of greater work. True, one must look a little deeper into man than his appearance, to see his meaning. True, one must work a little harder and reach a little farther into the realm of knowledge, and this is to be accomplished only by working earnestly and sincerely. Our purpose is apparent. We wear our motto "I serve" in the busiest hours, fn our unpretentious and modest way we serve with all our might. Our purpose is not so much on the surface. But to the ear alert, the voice of the Junior is profoundly vibrant with the fullness of life. With thoughtfulness and seriousness these qualities were displayed in the English Oratorical Contest. We were not victorious in that we received prizes in dollars, but beyond that we were successful, because we won a victory of self confidence and bravery. In the "Junior Ex" we won laurels for ourselves in the presentation of "The Passing of the Third Floor Back" by Jerome K. Jerome. It was one of the bright spots of the year's work and will not soon be forgotten. The class of 1914 has a variety of gifts and may hope to achieve distinction in various walks of life. Already some of our members are known by the sweet melodies they warble and the inspiring music they render. From our ranks we hope to see go out teachers, preachers, scientists, orators, missionaries and others to bless mankind. Next year will be the fiftieth anniversary of our Alma Mater. We, as the Seniors, then shall have the proud privilege of being the graduating class, and we are already looking forward with glad anticipations to that time as the culmination of our college work. Our vision of the future is inspiring. The name of the Junior Class of 1914 will command respect wherever spoken, and its members will be leaders wherever their lot may be cast. E.

It is this old but undeniable truth which has caused us to band together into what is known as the Sophomore class of fifteen; not because there are fifteen in the class but because in 1915 we shall have reached the acme of our collegiate work. We are often ridiculed by the older classmen. The gibs however, are unwar-rented, since we do not boast of having accomplished in two years what they have in three and four. But since by their sarcasm they attempted to contrast us with themselves, we welcome the test. We shall show our noble superiors that we are worthy of their respect, and if not equal to them at least dauntless. We are doing things. Half of the participants in the oratorical contest, which formerly has been monopolized by Juniors and Seniors, were Sophomores, and we bore away the second and third prizes. Two of our men are the backbone of the college basket ball team, we have in our midst a coming violinist, who emulated Paganini. Another kneads the dough. This list is piling up to a remarkable magnitude, but we are not yet through. Let us add to this, cornetist on the college band, bass on the quartette and three assistant teachers in [?] Academy. We do not claim extraordinary ability, but matchless tenacity, pluck and energy. We are fighting our way through like true men and women. We boast no majestic palace of the sea in which class orators are so fond of placing their class-mates. Our craft is a boat like the warboats of the old Norsemen, the Vikings of the sea. It is not propelled by mechanical devices, but it plows through the waves impelled by our sturdy pull on the oars. Every one is pulling manfully, and the sweep of the oars means progress. We do not claim to weather the gale unpiloted. We have placed the helm in the hands of our faculty and by their wise guidance they are steering us straight to our coveted haven and by and by we shall swing triumphantly into port. Today we are the joy and pride of our Alma Mater, tomorrow we shall be living testimonials of the unsurpassed training which may be had under the care of our dear Alma Mater, our Central Wesleyan. The deeds we do today shall form the favorite theme of generations which shall succeed us in Wesleyan Halls. The deeds we perform tomorrow shall go down in tire annals of time and be kept fertile in the minds of men as long as our commerce thunders from coast to coast. M. M. '15.

We need no room; We'll beat em all We'll never fall We'll take first place In the final pace For we are the Freshman Class. (47) [Picture] (48) The Freshies IT is a peculiar fact that great events often pass by unnoticed at the time when they occur. So it was when the class of 1916 met in Kessler Hall for organization. We are sure, however, that like many other great events, the birth of this year's Freshmen Class will be appreciated by the world as the years go by. Our Freshmen Class has a remarkable makeup. We have the two heaviest students in school, the three tallest, the oldest, and the only student who is an ordained minister. Our class is well represented in every department of the college. Among our members may be found excellent musicians, readers, students and athletes. Tn all, we number twenty-four: ten girls and fourteen boys. In athletics the Freshmen have not remained behind, especially not in basket ball. The first game our team played was with the Sophomores, who declared it their intention to "wipe up the floor" with the Freshmen. But our boys simply "played rings'' around them and won with a score of 38 to 11. Then the Juniors, who were exulting over the defeat they had administered to the Seniors, thought it about time to humble the Freshmen. They came to the game in high spirits, gayly waing their large class pennants. The Freshmen won again, with a score of 31 to 7, and the Juniors, very sad, left with their pennants carefully folded and stowed away in their pockets. In many schools there is a strong feeling of antagonism between the Sophomores and the Freshmen, but this is not the case in Central Wesleyan. On the evening of February 22, the Sophomores gave the Freshmen a banquet. The Sophomores proved themselves excellent hosts and entertainers, and everyone present, Sophies and Freshies alike, enjoyed a delightful evening. What our ideals are, and what our purpose is in getting an education, is very well summed up in our motto: "Semper Paratus." We believe the world will always have something to do for people who are "ever ready" to respond when duty calls. But we also believe that the people who will do most in the future will be the men and women who are thoroughly trained by a good college education. To be always prepared, to be ever ready for the difficult tasks which the world has to offer, is a great ideal towards which every enterprising person ought to strive. That is what each Freshman is here at Central Wesleyan for: to prepare himself to be "Semper Paratus." No one can tell what the future has in store for us. From present indications we will have representatives in the ministry, and in the professions of engineering, law and teaching. We are looking forward confidently to the future. After we shall have left the halls of Central Wesleyan. we will want to do something that will make our Alma Mater proud to number us among the alumni E. F. G. '16.

(51) [Picture] (52) The Senior Academy THE Senior Academy Class has existed only for the last three years. Now this class adds greatly to the luster of the school. The class was organized at the beginning of the year. At that time there were only thirteen members, but two more have since joined our ranks. It is unnecessary to say anything about our class, for our record has proven us energetic and progressive; but for the sake of the College Classes, who have ridiculed us, we should like to enumerate some of our many capabilities. Of our class, two members assist in the College Band and two are members of the College Quartette. There is one of our number who translates Latin for a Senior. In Athletics, also, we are prominent. We have a basket ball team which seldom loses a game. Even the college team must come to our class for one of its best players. But we shall refrain from recounting the talents of all of our members for it might seem like boasting. Soon we shall assume the distinguished station of Freshmen and in a few years we hope to be members of that dignified body-The Senior Class. We are persuaded that we can accomplish much and resolved to make the class of 1917 so illustrious that no one will be capable of singing its praises. G. B. (53) PREPS (54) Preparatory Department NEVER in the history of the world has there been a greater call for men and women who are "up and doing." From whence shall the material come to meet this demand? We as the "Prep" class feel that it is up to us to make good and win laurels for C. W. C., in the future. Central Wesleyan is represented by a large delegation of Academy students, an army of industrious, zealous, and willing workers and boosters. We are laying the foundation for the future Senior classes. We would boast of our class not only because it ranks high in quantity, but because it ranks high in quality also. Most of the college organizations are proud to count as some of their worthy members, students from among our ranks. The future for us and Central Wesleyan depends largely upon live present ambitions and aspirations of the students of our department. Among our number are to be found students talented along various lines and we are making it our business to develop the talents given us. Although the path which lies before us as students is somewhat long and may have its "ups and downs," we believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that through conscientious effort and determination we shall be able to overcome the obstacles which may present themselves. As "Preps" we are of an optimistic turn of mind. 'Tis said that, "Twixt the optimist and pessimist, the difference is droll, one sees the doughnut, while the other sees the hole." We class ourselves with the former and see the good things in store for us, but also the tasks and difficulties which lie before us. In looking back we cannot help but see that Central Wesleyan has made remarkable progress in the last few years of which the class of '13 should rightly feel proud but what may we not expect for the future? Listen! Ye upper classmen, give us "elbow room" and in our later "teens" turn toward your Alma Mater and see what the finished product of Central Wesleyan will be. O. H.

"Wall, Jonas,; what yer kickin' about-ain't I got it?" Prep: (picking up a Caesar) "Latin looks easy. I believe I'll take it." 'Look here," (pointing to passage) "Four ducks in a row (fore dux in aro);" "pass us some jam (passum sum jam)," "the bony legs of Caeser (boni leges Caesaris)." *** Freshman (Longingly) I'd rather be a Senior And never do a thing. I would not be a king, I would not be an emperor; A note book in my hand. And with the Senior stand, A fountain pen behind my ear, "I'd like to be a Senior And never do a thing." *** 'Tis said of the Preceptress, "There is gladness in her gladness when she's glad, and there's sadness in her sadness when she's sad; but the gladness of her gladness and the sadness of her sadness are as nothing to her madness when she's mad." *** "How long has the minister been preaching?" whispered the stranger, who had wandered into church and sat down away back. "About thirty years, I believe," replied the other occupant of the pew. "That being the case," replied the stranger "I guesse I'll stay. He must be nearly done." (58) Philomathia (Ten Years After) Buffalo, New York, July 22, 1920. My Dear Edna:- Of course you will be surprised to get this letter so soon after I have received yours; but today my thoughts will not stay away from those dear Philomathia girls at Central Wesleyan College. Edna, I am so glad that you are well and strong and are able to do your missionary work there in St. Louis. And what could be better than to have Georgia as a roommate-a district nurse! Remember how we Philo girls at college used to talk about what we wanted to do! Now you have realized your dream! So you often see Luella and Amanda! No doubt their Kindergarten teaching is novel and interesting. Last evening after Aunt and I had come from a boat ride on the lake, there was a lady waiting to speak to me. I found that it was Verneda, just returned from visiting Dick and Gertrude, who are now in Hull House, Dick as one of the Gymnasium directors and Gertrude as matron. Our evening spent together was pleasant. We went to the Rose Theater and heard the "Bohemian Girl." Before we were fairly seated we saw Margaret across from us. She invited us to her home. Now I know that you will be most surprised at this, our Adiene sang one of the main roles in the "Bohemian Girl." We hunted her up afterwards and learned from her that Mary was studying music under Joseph Hoffmann. The next afternoon found us at Margaret's to tea. She lives here in one of the prettiest parts of Buffalo. She had a surprise awaiting us. Clara, on her summer vacation, and Aggie, just returned from visiting her sister, were both there and we had a good old time reunion. For goodness sake Edna! How slow you are to catch on Of course Elsie is a minister's helper. And, O yes, Gertrude K. is closely connected with the largest bank in Waverly. Last week I read in the Indianapolis Post Dispatch that Nora was making good as State Superintendent of Public Schools of Illinois. Her interests always were so thoroughly centered on the betterment of our school system. I must say, Edna, that I have thoroughly enjoyed this summer's travel with my aunt. We spent the first week of July on the sea shore. Such a jolly time! While here I learned that Jim was an interpreter at one of our eastern ports. Imagine how many foreigners she must have to deal with! I am certainly glad that Lillian has accepted the position as Domestic Science teacher at C. W. C. Here's wishing you health and happiness. Let's sing it once more: Pouring not drifting, Hail Philomathia! E. M. H. '16. P. S. The evening post came as I was sealing this letter, and with it a big letter in Manilla. I tore it open and found that Lula had gone to the Phillipine Islands as a foreign missionary and teacher. Just think! One of our Philo girls a missionary.

Preul..................Chaplain Wesley Weihe........Sargeant at Arms SINCE progress is the watchword of the age, and a general diffusion of knowledge is necessary for the enlightenment and ennoblement of mankind, in order that good may prevail over evil and that the barriers of ignorance and superstition may be broken down, we students, desiring to keep pace with the general progression of ideas and to advance in moral and intellectual culture, having for our object improvement in composition and speech in the English language, have united with Goethenia Literary Society. Our motto, "Mehr Licht," when translated means "More Light," and interpreted to us at least, means "Mental Development." Our programs are prepared and rendered with our motto always in mind. Some have complained that our programs are often dull and uninteresting and that they are not "at all funny." If this is the case, it is well to bear in mind that Goethenia's purpose is not to entertain large audiences, and , cater to the demands of a novelty seeking public; but that its prime object is to give the members an opportunity for development along literary lines. It is not an easy matter to appear before an audience and deliver an oration, give a recitation, take part in a debate, or even to render a piece of music. This is especially the case when the audience consists of college men and women before whom not even the color of one's tie or the crease in one's trousers escapes the closest scrutiny. It is to overcome that peculiar fear or self consciousness that tends to take possession of one who is making a public literary effort, that Goethenia programs are rendered. We want to be able to think on our feet, facing an audience of critical people and to express our thoughts clearly, concisely and correctly in English. We Goethenians are fond believers in the old maxim, "We learn by doing," for while we do not claim to feel perfectly "at home" on the stage, we can testify that with each successive appearance before an audience, it becomes less a task and more a pleasurable privilege. Too many college students have too little faith in themselves and are too much afraid to take a chance. They are continually betting on the other fellow, and place little or no value upon their own efforts. While not egotistical, we of Goethenia have learned that it is good to "stake" a little on ourselves and we know we are stronger for believing firmly in ourselves and our society. We trust that the Goethenians of the next college year will, at the opening of the first term, hoist Goethenia's colors to their proper place, at the top of Central Wesleyan's Society flagstaff and then keep them there where they have been waving throughout the year 1912 and '13, as well as for many years past. (61) [Picture] (62) Garfield Literary Society THE past year has been successful for Garfield Literary Society. Only eight of last year's members are in the society this year, but we have added nine new ones and we are expecting to add a few more before the school year is over. This year we have one hall in common with Philomathia Society, since the college needed our old hall for a commercial room. Thus we can have programs only every two weeks, but we are also able to improve the quality of the programs. We are remaining true to the Garfield custom of never having a program without a debate. Our membership is in general well made up. One of our members won second honors in the Oratorical Contest for the Kriege prize, so we can boast of some oratorical talent. We fear that some students do not realize what benefits are derived from being a member of a literary society such as Garfield. The first and most important thing we learn in a society is to address an audience with some ease and facility. This is a most inestimable power of which no one can make better use than the college man; for no one is more frequently called upon to make a speech than he. Then again there are few things which afford a better mental discipline than the practice of debating. Some of the qualities which debate develops are thoroughness, conciseness, and quick thinking. Nothing so develops the power to say what one has in mind precisely and quickly as debate. Another benefit derived from society membership is the knowledge it gives at least in the elementary principles of parliamentary law. A little knowledge gained of the proper methods of business procedure in a meeting will prove helpful to any of our members who may be called upon to act as chairman at some meeting. With only these three facts in mind we think that the benefits derived from membership in a literary society are of such value that no student can afford to overlook them. It was the recognition of the advantage of society work that caused us to join Garfield. None are members just "for the fun of the thing." Many are beginners, but all are learning and we feel sure that the experience we are getting will be of value to us. None of our number will ever regret they were members of Garfield, and if any of us become proficient speakers, we shall owe a part of our success to the literary society that filled us with the spirit of its motto: "Excelsior."

W. C. A. THE Young Women's Christian Association has at the present time an enrollment of sixty-eight. We have our regular meetings every Tuesday evening, and usually have some one address us on important and practical topics. At the beginning of the year a social was given to all the girls of the school and town. The purpose of this was to gain new members. We have several Bible and Mission classes under the leadership of some of our Association workers. Miss Brink, our president, represented our association at the summer conference held at Monte Ne, Ark., and brought back many helpful suggestions for our association. To the State convention held at Lebanon, Ill., we sent six delegates, Misses Edna Polster, Georgia Labhardt, Lucile Freer, Gertrude Bohling, Margaret Dilzen and Edgiththa Grant. The Association furnished a window for the new church, the money for which was raised by candy sales and pledges made by the girls. The girls all take an active part in the work and show that they are willing to do whatever they are called upon to do. That the coming year may bring out more clearly the true worth of a Christian Organization, such as the Young Women's Christian Organization, and that its strength may be increased, not only in numbers but in true religious spirit and feeling, is the wish of the cabinet.

CABINET Upper Row-Grace Zimmermann, Dora Jacobi, Lena Lahmann, Agnes Frick, Luella Brink Lower Row-Georgia Labhart, Ida Webermeier, Edgiththa Grant, Edna Polster (68) The Y. M. C. A. THE threefold work of the Young Men's Christian Association is the greatest that can be undertaken. It is a work to train to educate, and to strengthen the spirit, mind and body. This can be done only by association. Association is the secret of all learning. It is impossible to become thoroughly acquainted with the different places of learning otherwise than through association. The Y. M. C. A. has grasped this idea, and by the association of spirit, mind, and body has been trying to make men for Christ.-Has it failed in this?-No, indeed not. The Y. M. C. A. has succeeded in bringing Christ into the life of many men, and many men to Christ. The secret of its success is the fact that spirit, mind and body have been associated, and thus the spiritual, intellectual, and physical qualities have been brought into practical use. That the Y. M. C. A. is a very important factor in the life of every College man is certain, because a man needs more than cold intellect. He needs a tender word and a kind helping hand such as the Y. M. C. A. offers. The Y. M. C. A. at Central Wesleyan has been working faithfully through this school year of 1912-13, and has succeeded in bringing rays of light from the cross to the dark and lonesome hearts of many men. It now has 117 members enrolled, and it has spared no efforts in giving the very best possible, both in religious and social functions. These are all planned so as to be uplifting and strengthening. The religious meetings have given many an inspiration to set their aim, in life, just a little higher. The Y. M. C. A. has spurred many men on to better, nobler Christian characters, who now are serving-not themselves-but Jesus Christ. All young men need association and C. W. C. has been furnishing its men with a living modern growing Y. M. C. A. (69) [group photo caption] Y. M. C. A. CABINET Standing-Wm. Roth, Aaron Rehkop, E. C. Paustian Back Row-Wm.

Ebeling Secretary......Miss Ruth Zimmermann Treasurer...........Arthur Johannaber Organist............Miss Edna Polster ALMOST half a century has passed since good Christian people, who were adherents of that denomination designated as German Methodists, founded Central Wesleyan College. True to its heritage, the college has always been a Methodist school but it has never required its pupils to be adherents of any particular denomination. The tenets of the Methodist Episcopal Church and its institutions have always been emphasized and when the Epworth League was organized in the church, Central Wesleyan College was not slow in recognizing its importance for young people, and faculty and students became active members. The Epworth League has ever remained a strong influence in the religious life in our midst and many a young person has gained that practice and power in our meetings that has enabled him to become a helpful factor in young peoples' meetings when he left the college halls. On account of the multiplicity of religious organizations among us, the League does not endeavor to engage in all lines of work that fall to an Epworth League where it has the field alone, but no one can deny that the Sunday evening meeting, which is varied in character, is a most helpful service. Short addresses on the topic for the day, songs of praise, pithy prayers, telling testimonies, and special music lend zest to the service and all who enter into into spirit of the services receive a blessing. The meetings are conducted by the president or one of the vice-presidents and both the English and German languages are used. As a special offering for this year, the League has placed an art window in the new church besides contributing to missionary causes. (71) [group photo caption] Upper Row-Arthur Johannaber, Prof. C.

WE are glad to have such an organization in Central Wesleyan College. We have only a few members, though there is hearty co-operation and loyal spirit toward the missionary cause among the students in general. We believe that the Bible is not for one or two nations, but for all nations. For did Christ not say "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature?" Surely an effort has been made by God fearing men and women to bring this about, and in a measure it is being accomplished. The problem confronting us is "Can the evangelization of the world be brought about in this generation?" On the other hand if all people are evangelized, there is a great probability that they will be Christianized. This statement is based on what has already been accomplished in the different heathen lands in the past few years. The barriers and superstition of Mohammedanism and Buddhism are being broken down and replaced by Christianity. In our own complacent happiness and in our age of progress, we are prone to forget the great need of the Missionary cause. But we have not entirely forgotten for there is in man a higher motive than desire for happiness, for he can do without happiness and find blessedness. We want to be of service to God by serving humanity, by spending our lives in God's service, among his people in foreign lands, if He so directs us. We look forward to that time as one of pleasure and not pain. The days may be hot and arduous, but our toiling will be the toiling of the happy heart. No peevish scolding, no fault finding, only a radiant joy of having this grand and noble work to do and rejoicing in the doing of it. The world needs energetic, conscientious workers, and we hope that we shall have made the world better for our having lived in it. E. G. '14.

Hackman[?] (75) Ich weiss nicht was solles be deuten Central Wesleyan Conservatory of Music (76) The Department of Music MUSICAL education is essential to awaken the finer susceptibilities of the soul. Music is called the language of emotion, the universal language of the soul. The aesthetic in music is enjoyed by those who have in some degree received musical training. How can music or literature be appreciated without an intelligent study? Through this knowledge, the deeper and finer feelings are awakened; the latent powers within become active; the culture of the soul is begun. The emotional qualities respond so that we can better understand the higher forms of expression; the true aesthetical culture. Music is an art, the expression of the soul. At first perhaps it is the perusal of the crude and rough; the stirring and the sensational. This is also true in literature. If this be continued, what will the character be of the one who reads only such raw material? The analogy is the same in music. How the stirring rhythm and the boistrous force of the instruments of percussion at first thrill and satisfy the longing of him who is a lover of this primitive form of expression, labeled. Music! It is evident there is a world of difference between the popular rag-time, or musical jingle, and the higher forms of classical music. The mission of music is to be beautiful; to promote culture and happiness; to aid in the development of the mind to its fullest capacity; to build character by acquiring control and concentration through its exacting discipline of both head and heart; to be of service in the church as well as in society; to bring into society a new life, essential to its prosperity; to encourage the love of music for us own sake as an art and as a study forming a part of an education; to edify man and glorify his Creator, this is the aim and purpose of a musical education as given at tire Central Wesleyan Conservatory of Music.

IF some of the students of years past should return for a visit to their Alma Mater, they would find "Progress" the watchword all along the line. If they were to look for the Commercial Room on the first floor, they would fail to find it. If on the second, they would fail for we have been making time and are higher up than ever in the history of Central Wesleyan. Not only are we as high as we can go in the old building, but our courses also are on a higher plane. The Commercial Department now occupies the entire south half of the third floor. We have a better equipment with which to work. One room is devoted entirely to typewriting. The Touch System is taught, which is recognized as the only proper method. Another room is used exclusively for the classes in Stenography. The Gregg System, which is a popular, light-line system, is taught. Students meet for class drill work, and as soon as qualified, take dictation in the office of the president of the college. Graduates of this department are now holding responsible positions. The third room, which is twenty by fifty feet, is used for accountancy. Principles of Bookkeeping are taught the beginner by the famous Budget System, after which each student is set up in business with a capital, in College Currency, of about $10,000.00. He buys from the Wholesale Office, sells to the Jobbing Company and to his fellow students, does his banking with the Commercial Bank, and thus puts into practical use what he has learned in theory. Each student in turn is put "behind the bars"-of the Wholesale and Jobbing Offices, and Bank, that he may receive a practical knowledge of these different branches of business. Since a professional or literary education without a working knowledge of business is faulty, every student should take a course in this department. The big broad men who possess Health, Enthusiasm, Industry, Knowledge, and Ability, stand at the top and are rated as humanity's choicest product. The ear of Providence manages to catch most of the prayers of misfortune, but there is no sympathy in heaven, nor on earth, for the invertebrate who will not help himself. (85) [group photo caption] ART STUDENTS AND TEACHER (86) The Art Department THE Art Department at Central Wesleyan College offers a full course of instruction in Academic drawing and water color painting and in elementary mechanical drawing. An enthusiastic group of thirty bright students meet on alternate days of the week for one or two hours of work. Drawing and painting is done entirely from objects. The studies are still life, groups and casts. During the spring months the class devotes several afternoons to the helpful practice of outdoor sketching. From time to time the best drawings in each department are exhibited on the walls of the art room and visitors are invited to inspect them. In this way the interest of the pupils is aroused and they are stimulated to put forth their best efforts. The class in Ceramics, though small, has made very gratifying progress. The Revelation Kiln which the college installed a few years ago, is in splendid working order. The risk and expense of sending the china to St. Louis for firing is thus avoided. The aim of the instruction is to create in the students a love of truth and simplicity in art. E. H. K. -------------------- A Half Page of Sighs When I think of the happy days In C. W. C.

In the earlier years a socalled Normal Course was offered, comprising the subjects ordinarily required for a teacher's certificate with some of the more practical advanced subjects. Instruction was also given in elementary psychology and pedagogy. The aim was more especially the preparation of teachers for rural and graded schools. At the same time many graduates have gone into high schools and colleges as teachers. The fundamental requirements of every good teacher is thoroughness of knowledge. This gives power, ease, and enthusiasm in presentation, and is likely to supply the never failing means of interesting the child. C. W. C. has always tried to give thorough instruction, and this is probably one reason why so many of its students have proved efficient teachers. Under the policy of the State Department of education thirteen years ago, C. W. C. organized an approved summer school under the direction of four or five trained teachers. Courses are offered giving approved grades in the subjects demanded for third, second and first grade certificates. When there is sufficient demand, other classes are also organized. Last summer the attendance passed sixty, and the outlook is most encouraging for the coming summer session. The teaching force changes slightly from year to year, some of the professors themselves going off to attend the university and others taking their places. But the men at the head of the various departments are always skilled and approved experts. About two years ago the State Department of Education encouraged colleges to lay more stress on educational work for advanced students. In conformity with the new regulation we have now the following education courses: general psychology, educational psychology, history of education, principles of education, methods of teaching and practice teaching. The Department, to a certain extent, inspects and supervises the work; the State Superintendent issues a three years' certificate which after two years' successful teaching is made a life certificate. Under these conditions last year six young people received certificates. They have been making excellent records in the high schools of this and other states. That they are enthusiastic and ambitious is shown by their wanting to attend summer schools and looking to further study at the university. Some six or eight will complete the educational course in June, and they, too, we are confident, will give a good account of themselves. For the coming year more practice teaching will be required, and considerable additions will be made to the educational section of the library. The motto is "Forward." H. V. (101) ATHLETICS (102) College Athletics NO one will object to the proposition that students should exercise their bodies. If called upon to state the amount and kind of exercise needed, most people would be at a loss to prescribe the particulars, and would content themselves with the usual generalities about its being essential to health; that it should be so regulated as to be recreative, but not so excessive as to be exhausting. Many intelligent men know these things. Although never awake to the real truth of them till a violated law of nature inflicts its penalty in their own ill health. However, sensible people will acknowledge these things; that young men, who study, need exercise; and that exercise to be beneficial, must be regular and systematic. Athletics supplies this need to a large body of students, and supplies it regularly and systematically. The evils have been exaggerated; they are not so great as would be the evils of a college life without atheltics and such evils as do inhere in the present system are capable of remedy. The foundation of our belief in the benefits of physical exercise lies in the saying, "that a healthy mind is found in a healthy body." But we are apt to regard the healthy body as a mere accident of an inheritance or environment. So we put the statement thus, "If the body is sound, the mind will be sane." We shall admit that many men of weak bodies have done good brain work in their day. Nevertheless they have been hindered from doing better work by their physical weakness. Aftr the body has attained maturity, most men recognize the connection between mind and body. During the time of growth, however this interdependence is taken into small account. There are two kinds of brainwork-one of which we may properly call body brainwork, and the other mind brain-work. Most people including many college professors consider mind brainwork the only kind of brainwork. But body brainwork is quite essential to the healthy existence of the brain and really comes first in the order of brain growth. Interfere with bodily brain work in childhood, and you not only stunt the body, but also enfeeble the brain, by depriving both of their proper growth. The worst feature of such interference, at such a time, is that the evil then done cannot be remedied and the power lost to brain and body can never be regained. The college which neglects or ignores physical culture may send out scholars, but it will not send out forceful men. It will not be the living power it might be. Truth is not to prevail by the dry light of intellect alone, but through the agency of good, wise, and strong men. (103) In a Lighter Vein F. Meine. (From rear of hall.)

The team was largely composed of experienced men. Consequently Coach Hemke had little trouble with raw material. The men worked harmoniously and everyone did his part to make the team victorious. No player worked that all of the glory might fall upon him. That team work existed among the men showed itself very plainly in the game with McKendree. The season was as successful as could be expected under existing conditions. The first two games were lost on account of the absence of the veterans, Meyer and Freidli, but they played again after the Christmas holidays. We can justly be proud of such a team as represented our college in Basket Ball this season. It is without doubt one of the cleanest and fastest that ever played in the Niederinghaus Gymnasium. In spite of the strict eligibility rules which were enforced, only two ,en became ineligible during the season, and this speaks well for our Basket Ball men as students. Nevertheless some think that there is a danger that one cannot be a good student if he is a good athlete. The game with McKendree was the fastest and cleanest game of the season. The two teams were well matched, but our team had the advantage as the McKendree men seemed to be lost on the floor. Brain and skill and hard fighting is what gave our team success. The Personnel of the 1912-13 Team. FRIEDLI. For four years a member of the Basket Ball team, he has won the confidence of his team mates. This was shown by (105) his election to the Captaincy, which he so ably filled during the past season. He played a great game as advance guard. KRUMSIEK. Throughout the year the Manager played as distinctly a consistent game as any man on his team. This is his third year as the star forward. As a goal shooter he is hard to beat. MEYER. Mike stood at center. He never failed to get over his man. As a member of the team for four years, he has always been feared by his opponents because of his great goal shooting and because of his ability to streak away from his man to shoot a goal. HOLT. Played like a veteran in the game as forward; although this was his first year in fast company. Harvey is a fair and a fast player, and never gets angry in the game. He will prove a great help to the team the coming year. STARKEBAUM Three years on the team makes him the best defender of the goal that ever played on our team. Many victories were won by his great work. He will be with the team again next year. HEMKE. This speedy little forward fought a great battle throughout the year for his team. This is his second year. He played over the entire floor and never failed to bring the ball down to his goal. HENRY. Played well at the central position the few games in which he played and he showed that he was a very efficient man at the place. He gained much skill this year. The Teams. KUFUS. We organized in 1910, and derived our name from the Egyptian pyramid builder. The players represent four states and form the only team in school of classified students. We do not claim to be experts, but each man in his place, counts for his team. Gruber is the standpat, the man that shoots the goals; Beck the good-natured, cheers with his smiles; Buehler, the center, makes the strides; Wolfe is on the spot, but untrue to his name; and for Schmidtke, he is a meddler at the other man's goal. TIGERS. The Tigers of 1912-13 consisted of Hartel, Kriege, Meinershagen, Stelzriede, (Captain), and Bizzie Zimmermann. These hold the positions of stationary-guard, center, advance forward, advance guard and stationary forward. We had a splendid season, winning every game but one, and that was played at night. Three of these tigers were on the C. W. C. Academy team and two will be on the first squad next year. This goes to show the quality of our men. Our motto is "Play fast and clean." CUBS. Among the Basket Ball teams of C. W. C. of the past season, there was one quintet, known as the Cubs, upon which the eyes of many were centered. First, on account of the teams capability of handling the ball, and second because of the members playing clean basketball. Stadtman, who starred at center, played the position well. The Karrenbrock Brothers, as guards, did exceedingly well, and a great percentage of the games won, is due to them. The forwards, Brink and Layer, showed speed and accurate goal shooting.

The Fourth Academy basket-ball team is the only organized class team at C. W. C. We have both won and lost games, but we always play fairly and squarely regardless of the consequences. The line-up: Johannaber, right forward Kramer, (Manager and left guard.) W. Miller, (Captain) left forward. Mugele, right guard. Vieth, center. WASPS. We are the humming wasps who stung all the other teams. We made the great Kufus howl and beg for mercy. Gaebler our center is the star at jumping. Stenzel and Knipmeyer were experts, for the ball seldom passed our goal without their making a point. Niedergerke and Glize did work at the enemys home. It was Neiders smiling face, Knipps graceful rnnnning, Stenzels great shooting, and Gabbler's good jumping which made us successful this year. STARS. Although our team has not won so many victories as other teams we feel that we have done good playing. Especially considering the fact that two of our players had never played basket ball before joining our team. During the year, Kettelkamp has played right forward and Deschner left forward. Toward the end of the season, we were reinforced by Brinkmann. Our guards Wm, Meyer and Wilkening played well and have often kept, the oppos- (107) [group photo captions] GIRLS' CLASSIFIED TEAM GIRLS' UNCLASSIFIED TEAM (108) [froup photo captions] BASKET BALL TEAMS 1 Stars - 2 Kufus- 3 Gladiators-4 Fourth Academy - 5 Wasps - 6 Tigers 7 Cubs (109) -ing team from making goals. Our center man F. Hollman is developing fine. GLADIATORS. This small invincible squad, organized too late in the season to compete with all their rivals. The majority of these men were new to Basket Ball, but after a strenuous practice proved to be real basketers. They possessed lots of speed and ginger. In spite of their late start they showed their powers on several occasions by lowering the colors of a few teams. The line-up: Alfred Friedli, right forward; Ed. Polster, left forward; Willie Hagemann, center; Poggenpohl, left guard; Jurgensmeyer, right guard, Chas. Winter, substitute. S. E.

(110) [Picture] (111) Men's Physical Culture THE fact that the student needs exercise is shown by the various forms of compulsory training required. Our college has one of the the finest gymnasiums in the state, with a professor of Physical Education in charge. Many students are fat and flabby; their arms are weak; their hands are soft and pulpy. If they run a block for a train, they puff and blow like disordered autos. Students get into this condition because they sit still too much, and because they eat more than they need. No one gets in this condition because he wishes to. The reason that he does not come out of this condition is that he thinks it will involve a serious modification of his mode of living, and a serious alteration of his studying habits. If he would spend an hour or so, in the "Gym" under the leadership of our physical director, he would soon become strong. This department is generally limited to the "gym" and indoor work, but it is doing a great service for the student body. In fact if any person needs proof that such exercise is necessary, he should attend the compulsory classes in the Niedringhaus Gym. The great majority of the students who enter college need training and they need it badly. All students should get into some sort of athletics, so that the bodies may be developed with their minds. Parents should always remember that the athlete is especially watched as to his education. Women's Athletics THE year 1912-13 has shown an increased interest and activity in athletics and gymnastics by the young ladies. In the physical culture classes the enrollment has been larger than ever before and the work done has been better. In the exhibition of 1912, the young ladies took part and showed that their year's work had not been in vain. In the spring and autumn when the weather is too warm for indoor work, the young ladies form cross country clubs, or seek recreation on the tennis courts. Basket ball proves very attractive during the season and several good teams were organized among the academy and college girls, who met each other in friendly rivalry several times. The physical training for women in our department is based upon the Del-sarte Philosophy of Expression and the Swedish and German systems of free movements and light gymnastics. The training corrects physical defects, develops good carriage, and benefits the whole system of stimulating the circulation and nutrition. An effort is made to make the gymnasium not merely a school for muscular development and discipline but rather a place for recreation and pleasure in which mind and body, are refreshed and strengthened. (112) TRACK TRACK work has been neglected for the past few years in our school, owing to the lack of interest in athletics. Our Phys-Director, Mr. Schoeppel, is this year coaching us, and it is due to his efforts that we are again an organized body. He has done much to create enthusiasm in this department to stimulate an interest in athletics in general. In the latter part of February a number of students assembled in the Gym for the purpose of electing a manager and a captain. Eisenstein was elected as Manager and Krumsiek as Captain. No meets have been held, but a number of meets are now on schedule. During the last Street Fair, our Coach was asked to choose four of his best runners to compete in a relay race. We entered the race and won easily. The victory was cinched when Beger gained a ten foot lead on his man. Krumsiek,Brink and Eisenstein had no difficulty in keeping their big lead. At the present time the team trains twice each week, but soon we shall get out every day. Since time immemorial men have trained for various kinds of sport. The ancient Greeks carried training to a very high degree of perfection, and some of the performances attributed to their Olympic winners can hardly be believed. Their statuary, frescoes- and many remains in which are shown the human form divine, prove conclusively that their methods of training were very good, for physical beauty was carried with them almost to perfection. In modern times it has been only within the past thirty years that the regular training of athletes for special athletic events has been studied and carefully considered. Whether we attain the physical beauty of the Greek, or become stars in the Olympic games, we care not, we are going (113) through our regular practice systematically to bring out the best that is in us; and if anyone should prove to be an athlete of world fame, then so much the better. All men improve with training. How ridiculous for an untrained man to meet one in the pink of condition. This is very well recognized in events which require only speed and agility. How much more in events in which stamina is concerned, such as distance events. It is therefore necessary, that, when a man desires to enter athletic events, he go into training. This means that he must take care of his body and do everything that will tend to make him strong and ready to withstand the strains of close competition. Our training in track work has a decided influence in molding character. An athlete must avoid bad habits, and everything that tends to weaken him physically. Training changes him from a man capable of short exertion into one who finds pleasure in sturdy exercise, or one who engages in fierce struggles on the track or field and after a gruelling contest feels no evil effects, but rather is hardened and strengthened for future great endeavor. Sprinting. Sprinting is especially adapted to the American temperament and American physique, and this is why our sprinters are so numerous and of such high class. No sprinter can expect to be successful unless he has trained on "starting" and has mastered the start, which is half of the race. There are three so called sprints, 50, 100 and 220 yards. Quarter-Mile Running. This is considered to be neither a sprint nor a distance run. The quarter-miler should have both speed and stay. This is undoubtly the hardest event in track work, for if you wish to make any time it is necessary to run the whole distance at your greatest speed. Our quarter milers are Brink, Eisenstein, Meinershagen, and Karrenbrock. Distance Jumping. There are two kinds of runners for the distance, those who lack stay but have speed, and those with plenty of stay but with little speed.. The first thing for the distance man is to find out whether he lacks stay or speed and then train accordingly. For it takes both to win in this race. We find we have good distance men as Vieth, Meyer, Schmidtke, Allwell, Hollmann, Krews, and Dyer. Hurdling. There are two kinds of hurdle races, the high and the low, and each requires a special style. The principle in both is the same, namely to attain celerity in getting over the hurdles, to land ready for the next stride, to run fast between the hurdles, and to have one's stride down so well between the hurdles that one will always take the same distance from the hurdles. Brink, Eisenstein, Krumsiek, and Layer are the hurdlers. Jumping. One of the prettiest competitions on the athletic program is the high jump. It takes a great amount of skill to become a good jumper. The principle of the high jump is to attain height with the least elevation, which seems to sound contradictory, nevertheless the rule stands. Those who have shown some class in jumping are Baltezor, Buehler, Meinershagen, Hartel, Eisenstein, and Hollmann. (114) [group photo caption] TRACK TEAM ---------------------- Shot Putting. Hammer Throwing. These two events take men of strength as well as men of skill. The elevation must be given to the missile or the full length of the throw will not be shown. Meine, Meyer and Buehler have shown good form in these events. Pole Vaulting. This is the most dangerous "stunt" in track work, and that is the reason so few ever become successful vaulters. The successful vaulter needs many years of practice. He needs speed, strength, and courage. As vaulters we have Krumsiek, Layer, and Meiners-hagen. In the field events, form is important. Here the athlete should go carefully, watch the form of the best athlete, and try to improve himself. This training after form in the field events is necessary, even in the veteran athlete, for form in the field means simply well trained muscles that will act in harmony with the mind of the athlete in jumping, vaulting or throwing the weight correctly. In training for these events the athlete should practice for form, reserving the best efforts for special occasions. S .E. '13 (115) The Blue and the White THROUGH all the rain and mud and dark In hood of fur and homespun plaid; A maid came wandering from the park A damsel plain and roughly clad, She bore a shield, and in the night, Its ensign fluttered of blue and white. Inscribed upon her buckler was A word un-written in the laws; "Purity and Truth will conquer all, And through it every foe must fall," So plain it seemed in the dim-street light, True blue and pure white, which stands for might. So innocent her presence seemed, That they for one cellestial deemed The damsel in her quaint attire; And as the music of the lyre Was the rustling of the banner bright, With the sign of virtue, blue and white. As down the street they saw her go, Her helplesness they seemed to know; And trustful men with her they sent To be her guide where ere she went. To aid her in the battle for the right; But her might was in the blue and white. And as the maid they followed on, Every assault the whole night long She overcame without their aid, They heard as from above, I've made. The damsel strong and given her might For every sign she carries of blue and white. The men were pleased with what they saw For none could draw, though vile and mean, Her from the path on which she went Or the goal on which her mind was bent. Purity and truth she sought that night And she prevailed, through the blue and white. So truth and purity shall e'er prevail As did the maiden of our tale Overcome by truth that made her strong, Every conflict and every wrong As through the rain and mire that night, She bore her emblem of blue and white.

THE ladies and gentlemen named above enjoy the pleasures and profits, not monetary in nature, as well as the trials and tribulations that fall to the lot of those mortals that have the duty of letting the college light shine forth through its college paper. The cut would seem to indicate that troubles ne'er beset their path, but appearances may deceive. In common with other knights of the quill they have troubles of their own. Two burdens never oppress them severely, i. e. superfluity of copy and finding use for money on hand. For almost thirty years, Central Wesleyan College has had its college paper in the field. Many have hailed with delight the monthly coming of the Star with its light. Perhaps, at times, some readers felt like "licking" the editors because they did not write what the irate ones thought should have appeared in print. Perhaps the editors deserved condign punishment and we can offer in extenuation for their shortcomings only the plea that they have attained neither infallibility, nor omniscience. Their intentions were good. The college, we think, has not been the loser because of the Star's rays. Editorials, contributions, notes concerning former students, reports of organziations, locals and even jokes have been published with the aim to maintain the interest in Central Wesleyan College of those who were here, to increase the interest of those who are here, and to awaken an interest in those who ought to be and shall be here. If you are in one of those classes, send fifty cents to the Business Manager, Dr. A. W. Ebeling, for a year's subscription and let the light shine in.

We love our dear old Wesleyan; Where truth we found, and light abounds; Where hardships sore have left no wounds. We love the place, the men, the school; The place because it is our home; The men because they gave us rule; The school because it is our school. We love the work; we love the play. We're fond of fun of every kind, We seek the wood's on Saturday; For friendships sake and nature kind. Again we say, Old Wesleyan, We bless thee with our hearts and hands; May your ideal ever be To bring forth men both true and strong. May great and noble men you give To God to serve humanity. And may in honor of your work God's blessing richly fall on you. P. H. L. '13. ---------------------------- Student's Beatitudes BLESSED is he that Flunketh not for a diploma shall be his.

Oft to thee thy dear has told Not to make a face so cold, But to cheer up looking bold. Doubts have come and doubts have gone, Left a mark, yes, more than one, Never more, we hope; no, none Till the day of joy has come. Days of gloom and days of drear, Comes at times to till with fear, Sometimes bringing forth a tear, In the eyes of one held dear.

The soulful soul of Kalamazoo, Sailed off in a wooden shoe. By cool Siloam's rill> Come little babe, come silly soul, Gather ye rosebuds while ye may; There was once a little man Raked the meadows sweet with hay. When first our marriage vows were given On a day, alack the day! I wandered lonely as a cloud Homeward plods his weary way. Gem of the crimson, colored even My days are gliding swiftly by; The boy stood on the burning deck Eating his Christmas pie. Take, O take those lips away- O leave this barren spot to me, Youth's stuff will not endure, Said Tweedledum to Tweedledee. The earth and every common sight I remember, I remember; She was a phantom of delight It was in the bleak December. O pale, pale now those rosy lips, For Mary loved the lamb you see. There is a land of pure delight Across the sands of Dee. My heart leaps when I behold Ye banks and braes o'bonny Doon; He all the country could outrun, And the cow jumped over the moon.

I've a freak vocabulary built of phrases quite unique, I've pamphlets that would startle the police; My beliefs are apt to vary From the revolutionary To the Carnegie idea of armored peace; I have plunged in dietetics, And in popular aesthetics, I've been dreamer, mystic, outlaw-each in turn; And the sum of all my labor Is this gem of wisdom, neighbor, That the things you get are chiefly those you earn. (122) [group photo caption] Faculty and Students at Station Bidding Farewell to Dr. Harmon, Who Had Just Closed a Remarkable Revival (123) The Department of Oratory The average man in America spends at least a little time and money each year in an attemptto acquire culture. Culture is not decorative, as so many people seem to think, but vital and organic. It is characterized by cultivated imagination and sympathy, not by information and wisdom. The study of expression emphasizes the spiritual, the vital, the soul of literature which can be grasped only by stimulating the imagination. There are no greater tests of culture than sympathy and imagination. Goethe recognized it when he said that there is no true criticism without sympathy. It is with this attitude that the student should approach literature and its interpretation. As Hamilton Wright Mabie points out in his delightful essay on imagination: "A man may become learned by force of industry, or a scholar by virtue of a trained intellect, but the ripeness, the balance, the peculiar richness of fiber, which characterize a man of culture will be denied him." The imagination is receptive and creative and the study of oratory and expression give excellent training in both. The course in the department of Oratory in Central Weskyan College is built on two distinct bases: One is the idea of entertainment; the other, the idea of conviction. To develop these two ideas, our work is devoted to the production and delivering of orations, the study of English phonation, and the interpretation of modern poems and prose selections. Each term recitals are given at the completion of the Junior and Senior year's work in this department, entire evenings are given by the student concerned. Mayos "Polly of the Circus" was given by one of the Seniors, and Tennyson's "Enoch Arden" by a Junior. We are now a member of the College Oratorical Union and in 1912 had the honor of sending our first representative to the State contest. Our Academic forensics are weak. It is upon this that we, the enthusiasts of good public speaking, must lay our greatest stress within the next few years, for it is only by the development of our oratorical powers in the academic years that we can win distinction for ourselves and our college in our collegiate years. Debating leagues have been formed on all sides about us. What about ourselves? With such splendid material as we have, we should be able to cope with any opponents. (124) The Strength of the Strongest (Prize Oration in English Oratorical Contest.) By AARON J. REHKOP MAN is the crown of creation. He is the lord of land, sea and air. He seats himself in an observation car and beholds the land slipping away from under his feet. He plows across the ocean with majestic speed. He flies across the continent in his dirgible or biplane. The mineral, vegetable and animal kingdoms supply him with the necessities and the luxuries of life. As the few suns of the universe light the many plants around them, so there appear great men in the mythological and historical ages of mankind, who mould and shape the progress of the people. Some were generals, others statesmen; some poets, others orators; some inventors and others discoverers. From Prometheus and Hercules, Moses and Draco, Caesar and Charlemagne to Frederick the Great and Napoleon, Washington and Lincoln some one or the other man has stood as a beacon light to guide the course of others. A few have been the leaders; the many have followed their guidance. But what has been the ground of this leadership? Why were they leaders? Wherein lay their strength? What was the secret of their success? The materialist would say that it was "Chance" and chance alone. It simply happened so. This belief seems as foolish as the explanation they offer for the existence of the universe; that it became as it is by mere combination of the atoms without a design, purpose or creator. It would be no more foolish to throw carbon, nitrogen and the other constituents of a man or of a lion into the air and expect to see a man or a lion descend from the sky. The presdestinarian offers his solution with no better results. To him it depends upon God and Him alone. What would be the advantage to put forth effort to be good and become great if it depends on God alone? The metaphysicist and biologist offer their solution correctly. It consists in the elevation of mankind in harmony with the laws of nature. In every species, according to Darwin, we see the "yearning for perfection." He who elevates mankind becomes a great man. But this must be done according to and in harmony with the laws of nature: "the survival of the fittest", "the will to live" and the "law of parsimony." No creature that could not adapt itself to its environment exists today. In the rocks we see fossils of millions of animals that have become extinct. Every creature that does not "will to live" perishes, for life is a struggle from the beginning to the end. "The law of parsimony"-"To him that hath shall be given, from him that hath not shall be taken that which he hath." Is it not true that nature gives to each class of creatures, yea to each individual only such a share as he or it can control? Here tire biologist would end, but the philosopher goes one step farther and asks the following question: How can we live in harmony with nature without communicating with God, the "All Real." Perhaps, instead of accepting some philosophical solution it is best to listen to popular opinion. Unstable and uncertain as it may seem, it nevertheless reaches out in its deep undertones and embodies great truths, which are fundamental. Though the people may one day cry, "Hosanna" and the next "crucify! (125) crucify!" Though their ideals change as we find in the life of every individual, yet popular opinion in its judgment on the whole is correct. Some say that "the strength of the strongest" was physical strength. It certainly was in the age of savagery and barbarism. The tribes chose the physically strongest among them as their leader. How the Hebrews rejoiced when Saul was "a head taller than the rest." Some still cling to the opinion that the strong man is the athlete, the man of physical power and vitality. But they forget that it is not the body but what is inside that makes the man. The body needs exercise or the man will collapse. But the true life is more than the body, the mere dwelling of the soul. John Wesley never weighed over 130 pounds, yet he took the "honors of his class at Oxford and founded the Methodist Church, the largest Protestant denomination in America and the second among the English speaking people of the globe. Hand in hand with physical strength goes "individualism," which is emphasized by Nietzsche. "Get to the top by any means or force whatsoever, even if you must trample the rest under your feet." This was the slogan of the gladiators, who left their opponents lifeless in the arena; of the tyrants, who usurped the thrones of their predecessors; of Napoleon himself, who bathed Europe in blood. "Time brings changes." Those days are past. Today we live in the age of invention and co-operation. Physical strength alone counts for very little today. Machinery has taken the place of muscular exertion. Today it takes brain and knowledge. A man seeking employment is not asked how many pounds he can lift but what he can do with others, for it has been truly said, "One cannot do much for others, but much with others." Napoleon by himself could have done nothing, but with his army he made "nations shake and quiver." It has been said, "competition is the life of trade," but co-operation and combination is trade itself. What is the strength of the Standard Oil and in fact of all trusts but this co-operative spirit and harmoniously working together? This co-operative spirit today has taken the place of physical strength and muscular antagonism. Some hold that men like Alenxander, Napoleon, Demosthenes, Goethe and Shakespeare were natural born geniuses. This would be identical with the predestinarian view, unless they go one step further and say that they were better gifted along a certain line, became conscious of the fact, and developed themselves along this particular line. They are right in so far that geniuses are born and not made. Material things may be made but human things never. No man is stronger than his latent powers or as some one has said: "Than his powers slumbering within." However, even geniuses are more developed than either born or made. Demosthenes "the silver-tongued orator of Greece" cultivated distinctness of articulation by placing pebbles in his mouth; he strengthened his voice by contending with the sound of the waves on the sea shore; he enlightened his mind by copying Thucydides; he rewrote and rehearsed his orations until they "smelled of the lamp." He trained himself to be an orator. Many maintain that this strength was their personality and tact in dealing with others. This characteristic has always been a potent factor in the success of great men. It is said of Napoleon that the very soldiers, sent to take him prisoner, bore him in triumph to a throne A little deed of kindness has often conquered more than great armies. It is said of the famous Garibaldi that when he entered London he kissed a laborer's (126) child of the street and by this simple act won the hearts of the English people. Emerson has truly said: "There's a best way of doing everything." Again, some assert that the strength of our heroes lay in the fact that they had a vision, a mission and a determination to carry it out. Though there might have been as many devils as tiles on the roofs at Worms, yet they could not keep Luther from appearing before the Imperial Tribunal, nor could the Papacy with ban and edict and with the aid of Emperor Charles V make him recant one of the ninety-five theses which he had nailed on the door of the church at Wittenberg. Socrates rather drank the cup of hemlock than refrain from teaching the youth true knowledge and wisdom. This ambition and enthusiasm for a cause gave us the Atlantic cable, Stevens' locomotive, "Fulton's Folly," and in fact most of the inventions. It was the strength of Washington at Valley Forge. It made the heathen Germanic tribes tremble before Charlemagne, Asia before Alexander, Europe before Napoleon. It drove St. Augustine to the British Isles, St. Boniface to the Germanic tribes and Dr. Livingston to the heart of Africa. Finally others insist that the "strength of the strongest" was their love for humanity manifesting itself through service. The one who does not feel the weal and woe of mankind and hear its cry will never be worthy to be called a member of that society. Who is the greater-he who is prominent wherever he goes or he who is willing to help the unfortunate at a time when he is not able to help himself? Service, the watchword and the keynote of the twentieth century, how true it rings to our ear! Louis XIV of France said, "I am the state." But his state could be purified and renovated only by the French Revolution. Far different was Frederick the Great of Germany, who said: "I am the first servant of my people." This principal so inspired his subjects that he will never be forgotten. We the people of the United States of America boast of a man similar in character. A man, who standing in New Orleans with tears in his eyes on seeing negro slaves mistreated and sold, said, "If I ever get a chance to hit slavery, I'll hit it hard." He hit it so hard that today the negro goes free. This man was Abraham Lincoln, "the savior of his country." However, our eyes pass on to a different country beyond the sea, a country once a nation, at this particular time a province of Rome and today, sad to relate, a possession of the Turk. There, behold is a man who for thirty years had worked at the carpenter's bench, but now for three years he serves mankind, healing the sick and causing the blind to see and the lame to walk, without having a place of his own, whereon to lay his head. He bore the ridicule of the Scribes and Pharisees. His helping hand was always extended to the needy, to whomsoever desiring his assistance. He wept over Jerusalem, but its heedlessness caused the Agony of Gethsemane and the Death on Calvary's Cross. Still there on the cross he prayed: "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." These then are the solutions for the "strength of the strongest." However, may we not harmoniously combine them? The strength of the strongest is the love for humanity manifesting itself through service by applying the special faculties of the individual, in harmony with the laws of nature, in elevating mankind. This is the strength of the strongest as it ever has been and evermore shall be. (127) The Class of 1870 Salutes the Class of 1913 OURS was the first class our Alma Mater sent forth to be her representative in a busy world. At the closing "Exhibition" I was salutatorian and Rev. Wm. Balke had the Valedictory, and we were the whole class. The Class had published no Annual; did not even have a class "yell." When we appeared on the platform, in the old "Red Building," it was without freshly creased trousers, or class colors or class pins. Neither Freshies, Sophs, nor Juniors gave their "yell" to encourage us; nor were there any pennants displayed. Boquets of flowers, fresh from Warrenton gardens, were the only trophies we carried off with our diplomas. Our "Gym" was a woodpile, where we sawed and split wood, or, it was the woods where we cut cord-wood or split rails. Our rooms were furnished with two beds, a wash-stand, a book-shelf, a table with four drawers, a box-stove and our four trunks which completed the outfit. Once a week we vied with each other in debate in Goethenia or Germania. Those were simple, golden, happy days. But I must stop or the class of 1913 will bewail the fact that they have not been permitted to enjoy such glorious advantages. Jno. H. Frick, Class of 1870. Professor of Astronomy in C. W. C. 1886-Retrospect and Prospect-1913M/p> 1913 minus 1886 equals 27. That's not so very long ago, and yet the seniors of 1886 didn't study by electric light, "make dates" over a phone, use a dictagraph, go to moving picture shows, ride in autos or even on a bike, (airships impossible!) send wireless messages, get good things from home by parcels post, typewrite their notes, or use a fountain pen. Such things as minimum wage laws, government by commission, single tax, short ballot, proportional representation, voting machines, old age pensions, juvenile courts, initiative and referendum, recall and other actualities of today were then unheard of or merely subjects for academic discussion unworthy of serious consideration by practical (?) folks. Laissez-faire was the keynote of economic teaching, and free competition was considered the life of trade. Surely "the world do move." 1913 plus 27 equals 1940. Seniors of 1913 twenty-seven years will be debited to your account before you fully realize their rapid passing. What wonderful possibilities of achievement lie before you! What opportunities! What responsibilities! Here's greeting to you, and best wishes from a senior in the class of 1886. J. E. Kammeyer, Professor of Economics, Kansas State Agricultural College.

(130) A Freshman's Experience A Freshman fell in love with a Senior girl and immediately disappeared from the campus. It was Sunday morning and he cherished the idea of escorting said Senior girl to church that evening. He emerged from his room after five hours of absence during which time he had been studying an encyclopedia, a dictionary and Century Book of Facts with much diligence. Presently the Freshmen's roommate noticed the Freshman was repeating something over and over to himself and determined to discover if possible the cause of such strange action. So he followed him down stairs, across the campus and into the college building where he again heard the mysterious mutterings of the aspiring one. Both remained in the college hall for some time, The Freshman watching the reading room door, his roommate watching the Freshie. Presently the reading room door opened and the object of the Freshies interest, the Senior girl, came forth. She went quickly out of the front door of the college with the Freshman following closely and his roommate not far in the rear. The Freshie overtook the Senior girl, placed himself immediately in her path, made a low bow and began, "May I have the exquisite exaltation of conducting your corporal system over the space of terra firma intervening between the parental domicile and the devine place of worship immediately after the great illuminator has descended behind the occidental horizon?" That wasn't all, but its all the upper classmen heard as he walked slowly by. He did want very much to hear the outcome, so he pretended to have forgotten something and retraced his steps. As he passed by them again the Freshie with much stuttering was just finishing another plea to which the Senior girl replied as if bewildered, "Sir?" This floored the Freshie and getting up on his knees he stammered out "Can I take you to church tonight?" She smiled sweetly and accepted. ------------------------------------------- "Few people are killed by the accidental discharge of duties."
