We dedicate the igio "Lest We Forget." Of his admirable record as a business ?na?i and as a citizen we do not speak here. We wish to honor Isaac Tigrett, the Alumnus, of whose generous and unfaltering devotion to his Alma Mater we have seen such con- sta?it proofs.
I. B. TIGRETT.
JRecee&ionaL
God of our fathers, known of old — Lord of our far-flung battle-line —
Beneath Whose awful Hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine —
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget — lest we forget !
The tumult and the shouting dies — The captains and the kings depart —
Still stands Thine ancient Sacrifice, An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget — lest we forget !
Far-called our navies melt away — On dune and headland sinks the fire —
Lo, all pur pomp of yesterday Is one with Nineveh and Tyre !
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget — lest we forget !
If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe- Such boasting as the Gentiles use
Or lesser breeds without the Law — Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget — lest we forget !
For heathen heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And guarding calls not Thee to guard- For frantic boast and foolish word, Thy Mercy on Thy People, Lord !
Amen. — Rudyard Kipling.

HISTORY OF SENIOR CLASS.
History has forever stood as an undying monument to the progress of nations and the deeds of men. It revives and keeps afresh in the memory of succeeding generations the course of human events even to so remote a period that "the memory of man runneth not to the contrary."
An illustrious history — one filled with the great and noble deeds of an ambitious people — never dies. Such it is my pleasure to write today of the persevering, indomitable class of 1910.
For four long and weary years the battles, in which only a student par- ticipates, have been fought and won. "We have traveled from the torrid zones of Dante to the ethereal regions of the astronomical realms, and have not com- plained ; we have embarked in the vessel of Research and explored the shores from the Rome of Cicero to the historical capes of Greenland and not once were we sea-sick; we have studied all the languages taught from the classic walls of Heidelberg to the sacred schools of New Jerusalem and unlike the builder of Babel we have not become confused; we have plunged into the un- fathomable realms of science and have studied all from the microscopic amoeba to the most sublime and perfect results of the chemical world and wondered at the handiwork of our Creator; last but not least we have deliberated in silent conclave upon the ethical duty of man to his God and state and upon the logical reasoning of Bacon and Plato until we have felt, in our confusion, that our college life was all a false premise. In all these things we have worked with resolution and determination, cheered on by the exhortation of Tennyson :
"Self-severence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead man to sovereign power."
Our history has contributed no small part to the history of the institution, for we are represented in every phase of college work and we are proud that our class has furnished leaders mentally, morally and physically in the ad- vancement and prosperity of Union. We have endeavored to make our in- fluence felt and in so doing have discovered among our number, presidents, orators, critics, essayists and captains. In our dreams we have seen vividly the leaders of college days leaders in still grander purusits. Juries and con- gregations are being swayed and influenced by their eloquence ; ambitious youths are being guided by their careful training and the commercial world is being affected by their shrewdness. In the far distant future we feel that the reward of our efforts (if the diploma is not) will surely come and when life's most perplexing enigmas have been solved we will weep with the immortal Alexander "because there are no more to solve."
Our past has not been a legend or a romantic tradition, but a vivid panorama of four years' endurance, existing in the world of realism. We can only hope
34
November IS. Misses Lambert and Petty and Mrs. Prince give recital in Chapel.
that our future will be guided by the shining star of destiny that has thus far steered us safely upon the turbulent waters of a college career.
Thus ends the short but eventful history of the heroes of 1910. This is (however feeble the attempt) a concise review of the class, as a unit, not as individuals. The tangible evidence of the achievements of our individual mem- bers is the laurels they have won and the records they have made. From the rising to the setting ; from the dawn to the close, and,
"Then from that close it seemed there came, in mighty strength As from the limit of the world, Like the last echo born of a great cry, Sounds as if some fair city were one voice Around a king returning from his wars.
H. C. PEARSON, Historian.
happenings at an 2Uumni £@eettng of 1920.
In the Spring of 1920 I received a cordial invitation to the Alumni meeting which was to be during the commencement of that year, at Union University. My heart leaped with joy when I noted that the special feature was a reunion of the class of 1910. I wondered of what nature the programme would be but could not picture anything akin to the reality.
The Secretary of our class and her better half had planned the reunion as a surprise for all. After a few timely remarks by the President, the Secre- tary began to call the class roll, and asked that the members answer to their names by giving an account of themselves since leaving Union in 1910.
The first name called was Mr. A. A. Proctor.
Mr. Proctor, (arising and addressing the class) : "Since graduating here I have spent five years in studying at Chicago and Oxford. Then I accepted the chair of English in this institution, where I have greatly enjoyed the Avork, but just why these last three years have been so pleasant remains for your secretary to say."
2. T. B. Givan.
A man with a knowing look and heavy beard arose and said: "I am glad to tell you of the successes I have met with since 1910. I obtained my M. D. at Vanderbilt in 1913 and took a two years' course at Philadelphia, since Avhich time I have been serving as one of the chief surgeons in the U. S. navy. This is my first visit to Tennessee in five years. ' '
3. J. C. Greenoe.
Mr. Greenoe said : ' ' These ten years have brought me some happiness and

much, sorrow. Happiness, in that I have been very successful in my work in the ministry, being now the pastor of the First Baptist Church at Atlanta; sorrow because of the fickleness of a fair Kentucky girl, a reality that I had never dreamed could be possible."
4. G. C. Koffman.
"We could scarcely recognize in him a former Union athlete for his features depicted deep study of some kind and he told the story in a few words: "I have had a 'Peck' of trouble along matrimonial lines, for in my persistent study of botany and zoology I have incurred the ill will of her whom I had taken to be the rainbow (Iris) of my life."
5. M. N. Davis.
With much vivacity Mr. Davis began: "I, too, like my friend Proctor have spent some happy years since 1910. I am now pastor at Jackson, Miss., and have married a beautiful Mississippi girl. Our home is ever open to old Union friends."
6. W. J. Dean.
No response to this name at first; then Mr. Proctor told us that during his vacation the previous summer he had seen Mr. Dean in his own laboratory at Ithaca, N. Y. Mr. Dean had continued his study at Cornell for three years and made a specialty of electricity. He is now trying to improve on some of Mr. Edison's inventions and is living a secluded, solitary life (no reason being assigned.)
7. H. C. Pearson.
Our orator of former days still possessed that self-command of college days. His response was: "I am spending most of my time filling engagements as lecturer on college lyceum courses, trying to impress the college boys of today that it pays to let no opportunity pass, for every one is golden; and to make them see the benefits of close application."
8. Henry White.
We hardly recognized the august looking gentleman who arose and said : "After taking a law course at the University of Michigan, I decided to locate at Memphis. There I have been actively engaged in my work ever since and have had for my helpmeet a former student of Union University, who resided at Pine Bluff, Ark. Only a few days ago I had an appointment from the Gov- ernor which will pay me $20,000 a year."
9. I. W. Shannon.
Mr. Shannon (promptly and modestly) : "I haven't yet found time nor need for matrimonial affairs. For several years I was general manager of a great cotton factory in Georgia and two years ago was elected president of the entire concern, also am president of the First National Bank at that place."
36
10. Ourie Koffman.
She didn't have much to say, merely made a statement that she was in- structor of mathematics in a girls' college in Missouri.
11. J. A. Garrett.
Mr. Garrett : "I think I have grown a little, both in stature and in intellect, since 1910. I have spent all these ten years in further preparation for life. Being so young when I left Union I still had many years for study and hence spent four years at Harvard and four at Oxford. After leaving Oxford I traveled in Europe. Now I am ready to begin work as teacher of ancient languages in the University of Louisiana, where I was recently elected."
12. lone Fite.
Our modest little secretary didn't need to tell us she was Mrs. Proctor. She simply stated: "I taught four years in the West, studied two years at Chicago University and since them have been teaching German and French at this place."
13. C. H. Brown.
Mr. Brown: "I am no longer the proverbial 'newspaper man' Avhom you knew as editor of one of our State papers for about five years. But I never liked the political side to that work and hence entered the realm of magazine editors. Now I am editor-in-chief of 'The Southern Review,' published at Atlanta. It has not been established more than seven years but has a broad circulation, especially throughout the South."
14. J. C. Koffman.
No response again, but the secretary read a telegram that was self-explana- tory :
"Office of Baptist Sanitarium, Mobile, Ala., June 5, 1910. Too much work to leave just now. Greetings to all the class of 1910.
J. C. KOFFMAN, Chief Medical Adviser."
15. H. G. Garrett.
Mr. Garrett: "For about four years I continued my study in the Engineer- ing Department of Cornell University, and since that time have worked for the Southern Railroad. Now I am under the employ of the U. S. Government."
16. C. E. Wauford.
Many of us had just heard the returned missionary preach a great com- mencement sermon on the preceding Sunday. We were necessarily much in- interested when he said: "I have been on the :nission field of Argentina since 1916, and this is my first visit to the United States since them. I shall remain in Tennessee until October, when I shall return to Argentina and carry, as a helper, one of Jackson's nightingales, for whom I have been toiling and wait- ing these ten long years."
On the whole, the reunion was much enjoyed, and a fitting climax was an announcement that Mr. and Mrs. Proctor would be at home to the class on Wednesday evening.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY.
"History is a drama enacted upon the stage of time; with suns for lamps and eternity for a background"— Carl vie said this as he looked on the mighty movements of nations which change the course of the stream of civilization, but it can be applied to smaller groups and simpler events.
And what drama of all the dramas, from the mirth-provoking comedies to the heart-breaking tragedies which are enacted around us, is more interesting than the drama of college life ?
In the particular one of which we are thinking, the curtain rises on a beauti- ful campus, in the center of which stands a building with massive columns and that indefinable look which distinguishes a University. It is the year 1908. Among the groups of college students, the Freshman Class commands attention, for in the appearance and behavior of its members can be seen indications of future worth.
This scene is one of gayety for the actors are young and college responsibili- ties, as well as others, rest lightly upon them. But in the second act, the same students, now Sophomores, turn to the deeper side of college life and accom- plish much. It is said that "man is the product of his environment" and the impress of the high ideals of Union University is becoming visible upon the lives of these young people. They take a deeper interest in knowledge for its own sake and strive to uphold Union in class room and on athletic field. Many stirring events take place. If space permitted we could tell you of the great football game where the winning score for Union is made, in the last breathless moment of the game, by a Sophomore, or in the inter-collegiate contest where the eloquence of a Sophomore wins the medal ; but suffice it to say, that this scene is a good one and actors and spectators are sorry when the curtain falls. But when it rises in 1910 on the third scene of this college drama, interest grows intense. The actors now feel the responsibility upon them of "making- good" for Union and enter heartily into every activity of college life; they fill ablv positions of trust in many branches of University interests; as "upper classmen" they feel it rests largely upon them to uphold the honor of Union. Deep college friendships have been formed and every day is full of interest and appointed duties well carried out. But the act moves swiftly to the close with the bright Commencement days and the curtain falls again.
41
December 7 . Exams begin. Everybody nervous.
The last scene is yet to come but from the three heretofore enacted, we cannot but think that it will be a splendid one and the players will enter on the larger stage of life beyond college, well trained and ready to act a noble part.

In rummaging through a pile of old discarded Medical books which had been stored in a little room adjoining the office of an old Physician, I found two old volumes which were very unlike the other books. On opening one of them I found the page filled with strange names and dates. My curiosity being aroused I enquired of my old friend, the Doctor, how he came in possession of these strange books.
He then told me that years before he had been called to attend a very pe- culiar old man whom he found in the last stages of Tuberculosis. In a very short time he died, his last request being that the Doctor would take his be- loved books.
I then turned my attention again to the books and examined them with care. I was astonished to find that their . contents related almost entirely to Old Union University. Although the books had undoubtedly been written many years before, I was surprised to find in one place an accurate account of the events as they had happened during the last several years at Union. The Ora- torical contests, different athletic events, an account of the condition of the college weekly, the "Cardinal and Cream," the different editions of the Annual and various other things of interest.
I kept turning the leaves and noticing the change as it told of the years since I was there. The erection of a large Science Hall, a Gymnasium, a new Dormitory, and several other buildings.
At last I turned to a page marked 1930, and saw there the history of the different classes which were in school in the year 1910. I found the following account of the members of our Junior class :
Our president, Frank Mercer, had fulfilled past indications and developed into a very corpulent, but decidedly jolly manufacturer. He had made of the once small town of Mercer a manufacturing center. His main source of pride, however, was his immense factory for the building of Airships, to which he had given his attention for the last few years.
Thomas J. White had charge of the sales department of this great factory, and we could probably see him as he explains to a prospective customer the chief points of merit in a diagram of their great 1930 model Aeroplane of both the passenger and freight type.
Our class-mate, Miss Sarah V. Clement, after taking post-graduate work in three of our large Universities, accepted the chair of English in Ward's Semi- nary. However, it was only a few years before her reputation as an English teacher had reached beyond the borders of her native State and she received
43
December 14. Stanford Merron discovered crazy and persuaded to take part in "Pair

many nattering offers from other schools. After repeated appeals she finally accepted a position as head of the English department at Randolph-Macon Col- lege because of the greater influence which she could wield, not only in the study of English, but also in the spread of Woman Suffrage. She was then a suffragette of great importance and it was rumored that she might be elected to represent her party in the senate, at the next election.
Miss Mary Lemire Dodson was for several years a great leader in social circles, but apparently without cause she became disguested with the shalloAV- ness of it all and turned her attention to the aid of the poor, and great has been the praise given her by the hundreds of struggling people she has helped to a higher life, by her kindness, generosity and advice. She has also found time to continvie her art studies and is now an artist of great importance.
Mr. William Earl Farmer had become a consulting Chemist with offices and Laboratory in Nashville. He had made a number of valuable discoveries in his chosen line of work. He is also advisor of the American Medical Association. His friends regret to learn that, due to an explosion five years ago, he suffered the loss of the eye, which he tried so hard to get rid of while at Old Union.
Julius A. Johnson is a practicing Physician and enjoys a moderate practice. He also lectures on Neurasthenia Uncinariosis in the Medical Department of Union University, which has only been founded three years. This Department has a great career before it. There are two large modern buildings situated on what was once the Athletic field.
James Arthur Carmack is now Pastor of the First Baptist Church and the large church is packed each Sunday by an attentive congregation. His earnest- ness and spirituality is so great that the finance committee are now considering bids for the enlargement of the church.
The Members of the Second Baptist Church completed the erection of a large and beautiful building about five years ago, and the Rev. Marcus L. Lennon is now pastor. He is also head of the Theological Department at Union Uni- versity.
The prospects of Old Union were never brighter, for three departments. Lit- erary, Theological, and Medical, are all filled by a hard working and earnest student body. She is still a great influence for good upon the manhood and womanhood of our country.

A scene of youth, of spirits gay, ambitions high., endurance strong,
Of faithfulness in college days which will endure throughout life long,
A band of college students all intent on gaining wisdom's goal,
Striving in all ways to improve the body, mind and soul;
I see them now in college walls, ere life's stern strifes begin,
And I know them as the comrades, Junior Class of Nineteen-ten.
I look in the world beyond college when a few brief years have flown, And the students I see to manhood and womanhood fair have grown; I see them doing their utmost to aid the right in the strife, With hearts true, minds broad and aims noble, making the best of life. And then as I see their endeavors the plaudits of multitudes win, I am glad they are the same students, dear old Juniors of Nineteen and Ten.
Then, dreaming, I look in the distance and strive to pierce thro ' the haze Of darkness which shrouds the future, hiding the coming days, Yet dimly I feel that in regions unknown to mortal ken, The reward of the true heart is waiting, the Juniors of Nineteen and Ten.

S)opI)omore Cias^ #ropi)ecp+
I have two reasons for being happy on this beautiful June day. The first one is this. I am so grateful to my Lord that he has watched over me during the ten years which I have spent in His service iipon the Foreign Field. And again I am glad that He has permitted me to look over the records of the "Class of '12," and have found that not one of that class has fallen by the wayside.
With the kind assistance of the President of Union, Mr. T. C. Fowlkes, I have been able to trace the success of the following :
Having finished the law course given at Lebanon, Mr. Pigford is practicing his chosen profession with his brother in Jackson.
Mrs Johnson (nee Clara Ferguson) is living with Prof. Johnson, who holds the chair of Science at Union.
Miss Ethel Lee Fairleigh is the teacher of Expression at Randolph-Macon College.
Mr. Carter is one of the leading physicians of Memphis.
Mr. Goodman is professor of Latin at Vanderbilt.
Mr. E. C. Anderson is receiving ten thousand a year pitching in the National League.
Miss Irice Peck entertains vast audiences in New York by rendering her own compositions on the piano.
Miss Willie B. Ferguson is the smiling dean of Lovelace Hall.
Mr. E. R. Boone is the coach for football at Harvard.
Mr. Prescott is living all alone in Memphis, having acquired a fortune by traveling for the Memphis Cigar Co.
Mr. Hastings is President of the Seminary at Louisville.
Mr. Roberts is "the Poet and Singer" of the twentieth century.
Mr. Carr is pastor of the First Church in New Orleans.
Miss Hanley is still trying to decide "who must I take."
Mr. Noble Freeman is a very successful lawyer in Nashville.
Mr. Stanford Herron is a physician, having as his special subject the heart.
Mr. Medling is the only doctor of Dyersburg, for he is such a successful one that everybody wants Dr. Medling when they are sick.
Mr. G. C. Bennett is a missionary in Japan.
By reading carefully this prophecy you will be able to tell whose name has not been mentioned.

S>opl)omore ^iatorp.
Now it came to pass in the year one thousand nine hundred and nine in the siege of John the Jacksonian, in the second year of his reign, that a band of youths and maidens gathered themselves together in the ninth month of the year.
Their assembly hall, a building made with hands, cannot be hid for it is set upon a high hill in the midst of a goodly land called the campus, and the name of it is gone throughout the countries, and it is known in the islands of the sea.
So that people of all nations resort to be instructed by the wise ruler and his counselors, who in the tongue of that land are called Faculty.
One year later, in the first year of the reign of Isaac the Lover of Peace, these young people appeared in the new ruler's presence, saying, "Hear us, and grant us our petition, Oh King ; thou knowest that for a weary season Ave have borne the name of Freshmen, and the word is become a hissing and a reproach to us. Give us, therefore, a new name by which we may be called, and our reproach be taken away. And when they made an end of speaking, their records were sought, and those who at the Feast of Examinations had not fallen into pitfalls cunningly dug for them, received the welcome plaudit: "Well done, good and faithful children, thou shalt no longer be called Freshmen, but Sophomores. Go and flunk no more. ' ' And it may be so.
And it came to pass that among themselves these wise creatures called Thomas of the house of Fowlkes to rule over them, and great was his wisdom throughout the land.
There were in this band two faithful sisters from the land of Covington of the house of Ferguson. Clara prayed that she might find grace in the sight of "Duly." It was so, and her countenance was no more sad.
And there was present a servant of God who was called John of the Carr tribe. He toiled diligently day and night for the good of his people.
When these were well assembled, Waldo, a descendant of Fite, was chosen to assist Thomas in the government of the Sophomores ; Sadie, a maid of many hearts, was given charge of the gold and silver ; and the damsel Ethel, whose surname is Fairleigh, was chosen to present these chronicles lest peradventnre men should not hear of these events.
Some there were who banded themselves together on the gridiron and defied the enemy. And their names are Boone, Anderson, Prescott, Hastings, and Pig- ford. Boone led these warriors, having a helmet upon his nose, and wearing a vesture of many colors.
These men fought the enemy, they rent their garments, smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter.

Charles of the house of Roberts, being eloquent and rhythmical in his speech, was chosen poet.
Carter, Medling, Goodman, Herron, Freeman, and a damsel from the blue grass country, whose surname is Peck, were also found running the race with patience, aspiring to get wisdom and understanding that they might have their names written on parchments in letters of gold.
These were loyal to their King Isaac, and desired him all that which is best.

I looked beyond, far down into the future years, Saw a vision which spake peace to my soul ;
It was a beautiful rapturous picture of love, The unwritten story, on a yet distant scroll.
That picture was peopled with the choicest of earth,
Of a land where no storm ever roars; High above to the breeze flung a banner of light :
The Black and the Gold of the true Sophomores.
As the notes from the bugle, ringing clear on the air, Wake the echo on the calm, still night ;
So the Siren of ages had joined in the song:
The ne'er fading memory of a name ever bright.
No thunder clouds form in the far western sky,
No tempest sweeps the sunlight away ; For the eastern dawn has encompassed the night,
Leaving all to the sweet, perfect day.
That flag floating proudly aloft in the sky,
Spoke a tale which no pen ever told ; A chapter was written in the great book of life,
With the fluid of love which would never grow cold.
In a land blest with peace, stood a monument grand ;
To the memory of a class which stands now In the van of a great intellectual strife,
And before which, all others must bow.
In its snowy white beauty that pedestal stood.
At its top waved the banner of Gold ; Inscribed on its face in rich letters of Black,
Was a story nevermore to grow old.
Plod on, plod on, thou class so rich in faith,
Thy sons shall some day reach that shining goal ;
Thy daughters too shall lend a helping hand, While down the stream of life the ages roll.
Thy birth-right, born of glory, lost in love,
From thy fair name shall nevermore be hurled ; And to the sons of men, when thou art gone, shall be A heritage — the richest of the world.

Hippity Hop, to the ten cen show,
Hipp to the Elite, there's where Swak and Sam go.
Hippity Hop, they're out of sight.
Hipp to the Elite, they're all right.
Besides being a sport among many The girls are all crazy about that auburn-haired Denny And Puryear's talked a home "on the square," But not one word he's said, I'll swear.
Handsome Kid ! with the classical nose, Parnell carries with him wherever he goes. And, too, we've always had a keen desire To see our friend, Coffey, in evening attire.
Little Mr. Goad, Lord Fauntleroy, Mother's angel, darling boy. Can he sing1? Bet your boots ! Does he blush? Clear to the roots !

January 25. Dudley Porter entertains the students ivith speech on Jefferson Davis.
Bro. Nicholson before you stands,
A congregation he demands.
And Bro. Ward with his "arguments," true and tried,
He won't say, "Somebody lied."
The Freeman is pictured well
When he has time 'tis hard to tell.
While Lacy goes helter-skelter like a windy gale,
He, too, is always behind like the old cow's tail.
Knowing Jo Gest's taste, we've all decided
To see that he is well provided
With ink and paper, for on love-letters he's bent.
So he can write to his heart's content.
He'd rather dance than eat, my love! For at this, Eoy's in realms above; That slow drag and turkish hop Just gets him so he can't stop.
Dear friend, Robert; dost thou remember The supper just before November? For being a ghost no equal's found, Especially on the campus ground.
Now Grace is a dear sweet child, x4nd has always a way so mild. But in class Bennie lent a smile, And "W. T.'s" heart did beguile.
Just why the artist caught his pose Is really more than the artist knows, But all will agree to help me,
That Greer and Baker are "dozers" — without a doubt.
—Class Poet.

Believing that the highest development of man's intellectual and moral na- ture is in direct proportion to his physical development, Union University gives her hearty support to all pure athletics when under strict faculty supervision.
We believe that some form of athletics should be indulged in by every stu- dent and that the sport should be made so attractive and pleasant that the student's mind will be drawn from other things to his play and refreshed. Not only is the exercise beneficial to them, but in their leisure hours they will talk about the games and enjoy them when many of them would be talking about other things that would injure them. The physical development and health, too, is a thing not to be lightly despised. Among the recent eases of illness in our school almost two-thirds of the sick have been those who take very little exercise, and we believe this to be the case elsewhere.
There is no more pleasant sight connected with the happy life of college than that of a a campus full of young people in the prime of the springtime of life busily engaged in their competitive sports.
However it is not our purpose in these few lines to debate the benefits and evils of athletics, but rather to discuss briefly Union's athletics for a few years past.
Our contests have not all been victories, in fact, most of our engagements with institutions larger than ours have ended in defeat. But we have learned to take defeat calmly and to profit by it. Victory has at times perched upon our banner when contesting with large institutions, and we feel a just pride in the achievements of our various teams.
We began basket-ball in the spring of '08, and, save once, and that upon an irregular foreign court, our team in the three seasons since has never al- lowed the banner of Union to be trailed in the dust. The completion of the Y. M. C. A. will give us a splendid place in which to play next year and we look forward to a hard schedule crowned with many victories.
There was a time when our hardest fought battles upon the gridiron were with preparatory teams, but during our last season we piled up such large scores that we believe we have passed this time. Elsewhere, gentle reader, you will find a retrospect of 1909 football team and from the results will see that the name of Union was well upheld by our last season's squad.
In baseball Union owes much to the University of Arkansas for the excellent lessons on "How to play baseball" taught and ably illustrated in the spring of '08. Whatever the score was, no other team has ever equalled or even halved it. We have established athletic relations with some of the most prominent colleges in the South and the members of our various teams are thus enabled to become acquainted with the methods of other colleges and universities.
We are building up our athletics and we shall continue to build them until they reach that ideal state in which each student not too lazy shall take an active part. We have added some $300.00 worth of apparatus to our gym-
128
riasium this year mostly for the use of those who are not able to take part in the more strenuous outdoor sports. We have not yet established a field day but look forward to having one as soon as conditions will warrant. At least we should have an interelass meet if we are not yet able to contest with teams from other schools. Though our interest in tennis is considerable it is not what it should be. This is an outdoor game in which every one can take part and enjoy, and we expect it to be taken up with more enthusiasm as the spring advances.
We cannot close our remarks on athletics at Union without acknowledging our gratitude to Prof. C. S. Young for his unfailing loyalty and generous sup- port of all our athletic enterprises. To him and to I. B. Tigrett the boys of Union's teams give three hearty cheers.
jFootball Ectto$pect<
September 16th saw almost the entire old team of Union back and a great many who had never seen service but were eager to see what they could do with the pigskin. The first game was only a week off and they settled down to hard practice at once. On the 25th of September Fitzgerald came and Union's boys, though they knew they had the better team, went upon the gridiron with a dread that Fitz would again work the hoodoo on them and win. But the contest had not waged long before Union saw that the hoodo was broken when Captain Boone carried the ball over for the first touchdown of the year. It was Union's first game and she used only straight football, her backs plunging through the line for long gains.
On October 1st our squad journeyed to Tuscaloosa, Ala., to play the State University there on the following day. Our boys had never gone against a team of so large an institution and we expected a large score to be rolled up against them. But the first half of the game passed and we received a telegram that neither team had scored. It was a hard game ; Union was doing her best ; Meeks and Callahan were tearing around the ends ; Boone and Baker were smashing the line; Chapman and Martin were breaking through Alabama's line; and Douglass was punting the ball into safe territory when it came near Union's goal. But Union was up gainst the best punter in the South in Derrill Pratt and in the second half, when Johnson was forced to go out, Alabama began to gain and Union was compelled to begin a defensive game. Alabama succeeded in crossing Union's goal line three times and in kicking one goal, making the score 16 to 0.
The team returned home and as an appetizer for S. P. U, on October 9th dis- posed of Bolivar Athletic Club at the rate of 34 to 0. Then followed a long- rest until October 3Cth, when we met S. P. U. on her home grounds. Union was late in getting started into the game. Punts were dropped and the ball fumbled so often that at the end of the first half Union had crossed her op- ponents' goal only once. But the bad playing of the first half was made up by good in the second. Union got right ; Meeks romped, was simply unstoppable ;
129
and Baker and Hayley plunged through S. P. U. line for long gains. Panic struck S. P. U., and at the end of the game Union had made 31 points, Avhile her opponents had never seriously threatened her goal.
Sore but happy we returned from Clarksville to learn that we were to have the honor of meeting Mississipi A. and M. before President Taft at Columbus, Miss., the following Tuesday. Here we met our second defeat, the farmer boys beating us by 22 to 0.
Memphis Medical College and Bethel College of Russellville, Ky.. were our nest victims. On November 10th and 13th we defeated these teams by the large scores of -40 to 0 and 57 to 6. On November 17th it was again our turn to be defeated and the University of Mississippi's team was the one to admin- ister it. Union was handicapped by not having a good punter and Mississippi ran away with the game by the score of 45 to 0.
Our hardest game was with the University of Memphis on Thanksgiving Day. The game from beginning to end was bitterly and stubbornly fought. Union made a touchdown in the first half but failed to kick goal. In the second half, after see-sawing up and doAvn the field for twenty minutes, U. of M. secured the ball on a fumbled punt and ran forty yards for a touchdown. They kicked goal, making the score 6 to 5. With only five minutes to play Union chose to receive the kick and began to march down the field to U. of M. 's goal. She fumbled once and her opponents got possession of the ball, only to lose it on downs. Again Union carried the ball to her opponents' forty yard line and there Meeks pulled off a forward pass to Boone, who carried the ball over for the winning points. Union again failed to kick goal and the score stood 10 to 6.
It would be hard to pick the star players of our '09 team. The beauty of the team was in its working together. If there was a star on the team the honor belongs to Meeks. Baker deserves special mention for his splendid work all during the season and for playing the best in the Thanksgiving game. Douglas and Jeter were tAvo good ends, fast and good tacklers, AAmile Anderson and Boone Avere good ground gainers.
Mav the team of 1910 be still better than that of 1909.
8@!mt Wit DiD in T5a0bet 15aIL
We stood together through the seasons of '08, '09 and '10 AATith the loss in the last season of only one team-mate, aa^c never alloAved the banner of Union to be trailed in the dust on our court and only once upon a foreign one.
Repeat the story of any one season three times and you have the history of basket-ball at Union and of the five or six players who made it. Credit must be given to Coach Langworthy, Avho started basket-ball here, to Booker, our ex- cellent center of '08 and '09, for their splendid AA^ork in Union's behalf. Prof. Prince took \vp the Avork in the late fall of '08 Avhere Coach LangAvorthy left off and the splendid success of the team during '09 and '10 has been due largely to his enthusiastic and untiring efforts. He had excellent candidates
130
with whom to work and the following results of the four games the past season will show what a winning team he developed.
Captain Pearson, G. C. Koffman and J. C. Koffman are Seniors. As they go out from college they will carry with them the good wishes of their many friends and the regrets that they will no more be seen on Union's basket-ball conrt G C Koffman and Pearson have been best goal tossers, closely followed by Johnson, who has been elected captain for '11. J. C. Koffman and Farmer were the best guards in the South.
The results of the games of 1910 speak for themselves : Union . . 57 Played at Jackson Fitzgerald . . 39

TBaseoall prospect
The candidates for the Varsity nine reported on March 10th, just a few hours after the last examinations were over, and since then Coach Tigrett has been daily instructing them in the art and science of baseball. Nine of the '09 team were present, but some of the new men immediately got busy and proceeded to make themselves a place on the 1910 team. Jeter came up and took third as quietly as if he had spent his life playing there and Greer did the same behind the bat, forcing Captain Shelbourne to first base.
Hopper and Anderson will do most of the pitching and from the evidence they have furnished so far will do it well. Our outfield is fast and hard hitting and the infield looks to be the best balanced we have had in several years. Should our two pitchers not be able to do all the work, we have an excellent reserve in Jeter, Prescott, Medling and Boone. Each of these has had some experience in the box and is capable of pitching good ball at any time. We are fortunate also in having a good catching staff. Greer, Shelbourne and Car- ter could each catch the whole college season and do it well.
We have met two prep teams in two games each and took three of the lour, tying the other, and have split even with the strong Louisiana State University in aperies of two games. Playing "Ole Lou" so well and winning so easily from the prep teams has given our team great confidence and a hope of captur- ing the flag of the Southern Interscholastic Championship. The remainder of our splendid schedule remains to be played.

Co tt)e Alumni of Mnion mniUx&ity.
In the 1910 edition, the fourth volume of "Lest We Forget," we send hearty greetings to the Alumni of Union University and take this space to particularly emphasize to those who have once been students of Union that the onward march of progress has had its due influence upon this school.
Under the administration of President I. B. Tigrett the University has been particularly prosperous. The Faculty is improving the scholarship, and the equipment in building facilities and endowment is increasing rapidly. There- fore we can face the future with the happy thought that greater things are in store for the grand old school.
The history of the school, we, the students of 1909- '10, consider a sacred trust transmitted to us for safe keeping and the addition of another page, a trust we have endeavored to keep and perform, as an evidence of which we hand down this volume to coming students and exhibit same to the Alumni.
