Behold, a voice came unto me. saying, "Write." And I said, "O ! Mighty one, what shall I write?" And the voice said unto me. "Write the history of the Seniors, for the good that men do shall live after them."

And it came to pass that in the eighty-seventh year of McKendree, the class of nineteen nineteen reached the Land of Promise, the campus of the college. And there were many giants dwelling within walled rooms; they were awful and formidable, and the class of nineteen nineteen were sore afraid. They said unto each other. "How shall we draw nigh unto these professors? How shall we survive the terrors of registration?" In fear and trembling they passed through the ordeal and remained in the Land of Promise.

In the same year the noble P>o\ver began to reign and he ruled with great wisdom and did that which was pleasing in the sight of his classmates. And nineteen nineten abode in peace, and sought wisdom and obtained prosperity.

In the second year, Bovver, the noble, reigned no more and Chapman, the Hoosier, ruled in his stead. And lo. the sophomores rose early and were zealous in the pursuit of pleasure. And their neighbors above them and below them were greatly troubled.

And the third year Chapman continued to reign and they waxed mighty. There arose in the land an awful conflict and the Freshmen struggled against the Sophomores. Then nineteen nineteen came unto them and aided them against the Sophomores and the Seniors who were banded together against the Freshmen. And the righteous cause of the Juniors and Freshmen was triumphant. In the same year many of the class of nineteen nineteen went forth to the Great World War, and they did not return, while the class dwelt in the Land of Promise.

In the fourth year of their sojourn the class of nineteen nineteen sought Dolley. a mighty man and strong, to rule over them. He was wise and good and reigned judiciously among them.

And the deeds of nineteen nineteen are many and their wisdom is great. Come unto them, ye who thirst for knowledge, ve who long for edification of the soul, ye who would learn of the mysteries of science, for, truly, they have sought diligently after knowledge and have become wondrous wise.

So endeth the works of the Senior Class and their fame shall continue forever. AVIS SPRAGG.

< >n one of my trips to a large high school where 1 was to make an address. 1 was instantly attracted by the title. "Successes of '19," because I was a member of the class of 1910 of McKendree College. First I was sur- prised by seeing my "Id class seated before the platform of McKendree ('al- lege chapel, listening to the commencement address. First was shown the success that a McKendrean had achieved in the world of science. Dr. Neva Skelton was shown as she worked in one of St Louis' largest hospitals. This was not so surprising for she was already widely known because of her skill, and recent scientific discoveries she had made.

Immediately following was a picture of myself in my chemical laboratory in New York at my daily work I then recalled the presence on a particular day of a camera man in my laboratory, whom, in my preoccupation, I had scarcely noticed.

The next scene was that of a conference of Methodist ministers. The dignified personage who ^eemed to be speaking was none other than our old classmate, now Bishop, Thomas E. Harper.

The scene shifted rapidly to the perfectly appointed library of a beautiful home in Belleville. I was not surprised when 1 saw Mrs. V. L. Gould, w h mi 1 had known as Ella Lippert.

Again a magnificent laboratory scene confronted me. I felt proud for old McKendree when 1 recognized the'ehemist in charge of Jim Doibley, our old class president.

The next scene was that of a girls' college in California, f recognized Lucile Whitaker as head, directing the work of a large class in the domestic science department.

Next I saw a large class of men and women receiving their Ph. D degrees. As I watched them f saw the familiar face of Avis Spragg. That old verse came to my mind,

"And still the wonder grew. How one small head could carry all she knew." Then came the last picture. In the private office in a large Y. AT. C. A. building a man of small stature was busily engaged dictating to a stenographer. This could be none other than our old "Cuddy" Chapman. The plans of his youth had been brought to fruition.

Thus. I once more came into contact with my old class and happy memories of old McKendree filled my mind. "191!)" was indeed typical of the success which is achieved l>v McKendreans,

Jean Frances Bassett. Vice Pres- ident if Junior Class; Editor in- Chief cf Annual. — "Bei ky" is the talented member of the Junior Class and one of the "Big Four" and her favorite expression is "Where do you get that, A.

A Irram

"Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow A Senior's but a walking

shadow, a poor player that .struts and frets his hour upon the stage." I was thinking in terms of the future and failed to notice how I was perverting these famous old lines to acord with my thought. I was thinking how near to a close the Seniors hour drew, when he would step forth into a wider • mtlook of life and that when I was made a Senior my hour would begin. I began to speculate on what the future had in store for my class.

Day dreams are conductive to sleep, especially if they happen to intrude themselves into a legitimate study hour. My French hook slipped from my hand to the floor, and presently I found myself seated on a rough pallet of straw, with a heavy hall and chain on my foot. So this was what I had come to! I looked up, and saw my keeper, a strange creature, reminding me of Father Time. "Your hour is almost up." said he. in tones inspiring me with horror. "If there is anything you wish done for you. make it known quickly."

I gaze as if fascinated at some object he held. "What is that?" 1 cried. pointing a shaking finger at it.

"Do you still ask such trivial questions when I have warned you that the sands are sinking fast?"

"< >, tell me, then, how came I here and who. indeed, am I?"

"Poor creature." murmured he. "you are indeed far gone. You came here because you lived always in the future, neglecting opportunities. Your haste has brought you to the verge of disaster, premature annihilation. Here, I am si >rrv fi >'" yi iu."

Returning a few grain> of sand to the upper half of the hour-glass he resumed.

"Let me tell you a bit of your history. It also involves that of numerous others, lor before you lapsed into your present fortune your interests were at one with your fellows."

I felt reassured to find that 1 had any kind of history, and listened eagerly to the words which followed.

"In the fall of the year 1916, you were one of a band of fifty who left their homes in search of adventure, knowledge, freedom and whatnot. Some magnetic power drew you to the city of the seven hills among the cedars of Lebanon, and soon you found yourselves in pursuit of the will-o'-the-wisp called knowledge. To some of you this was a congenial occupation. Rut be-

fore the year had passed others were languishing for the green pastures from which thev were up-rooted. Doubtless some found a world in which the order of the day was work, the principal diet bread and gum, and the only pastime supervised play, too strenuous for their pampered tastes, and they returned home thoroughly disillusioned. Many of you, however, enjoyed yourselves greatly, as is shown by the interest you found in showing yours- selves a good time, even at the cost of ridicule from the natural enemies by whom you were surrounded, the 'swell-heads,' 'sore-heads.' 'bold-heads' and 'cabbage-heads,' as you called your upperclassmen and the faculty. You won for yourselves great notoriety by your aggressive spirit in organizing, taking precedence over the others in the matter of sidewalks and chapel decoration.

"Thus passed with joy, tempered by experience, the first year of your sojourn away from home. The following year many of you came back, al- though o large number found it desirable to seek new fields to conquer. < (thers Stepped immediately into man's estate, and joined a more real and difficult conflict than the rest of you waged. You became more conservative this year. Having learned better, you no longer' designated those about you in terms of 'head-ship,' because you felt you had truly made a 'bone-head' in this respect the year before. This year also passed peaceably and happily, save for .me incident. In trying to conclude a treaty of friendship with the Seniors because they carried more authority than the others, you aroused the jealousy of your immediate neighbors on both sides, who declared themselves eternally at enmity toward you, and the battle was fought then and there, ending in a truce. Then followed a year, the most triumphant of your career, which has ended disastrously for you alone. Your ranks were much depleted, due to the stern sense of duty that led some into their immediate life careers, or into what they considered a wider field of learning. Your little but bighty band was headed by big, athletic, good-natured Ben. Then literary, happy-go-lucky, funny Becky, impulsive twins in close proximity; then studious, serious, base-ball Young. Next came mild, weighty Hendrix, with his clever imita- tions; round-faced, inquiring, talkative 'Dutch' followed along, with your own pre-occupied, day-dreaming face bringing up the rear.

"Your mates have struggled manfully against fearful odds, and are promising themselves the complete fulfillment next year of their ambitions, formed during their three years' sojourn on the hill. As for you — " Ik- paused as the last grain slid down the narrow-throated g'ass, and 1 trembled so that the chains with which I was bound clanged harshly on the floor.

Presently I opened my eyes and gazed sheepishly into the face of my room-mate, who said that the last call for dinner had been sounded. 1 glanced at the floor and there I saw in a new light the sufferings of Jean Yaljean. as pictured by Victor Hugo, in my French book, lying open on the

floor.

McKendree is a Christian college. There is a department of English Bible, where not only Bible history and doctrine are taught, but also practical religious questions are discussed and many religious difficulties aru cleared up.

Almost a score of young men among this year's students are preachers, or at least preparing fur the ministry. The majority of these hold student charges. These, like the \vell-kn«)\\n character in the hook of Ruth. "Go out full" every Saturday or Sunday, and "Come back empty" every Sunday night about the time the lights go out, <>r too late fur the first class Monday morning, having relieved their minds of voluminous charges of religious dyna- mite, and having gotten much theological oratory out of their systems. They suggest the old proverb, for even if they d<> not always "practice what they preach." they at least practice preaching.

Tin Y. M. C. A. and Y. XL C. A. both have nourishing organizations. That they are alive t<> the interests of their fellow men is evident not only by the religious meetings they hold, hut by their patriotic offerings to the United War Work Fund, to which the students and faculty contributed $470 as a result of the campaign last fall.

The Y. M. C. A. now occupies pleasant quarters in the basement of the new library building. They have sent' delegates to several conventions dur- ing the year. Charles Johnston and Professor Stokes were the representa- tives at the Bloomington conference, and A. W. Hendrix and S. I'. Young, at the conference held at Northwestern College at Naperville. The present officers of the association are president, S. P. Young: vice president. A. W. Hendrix; secretary, M. P. Akers ; treasurer. L. J. East.

The Y. \Y. C. A is also active, and includes in its membership almost every girl in college, as well as the lady members of the faculty. Almost the whole cabinet and their faculty adviser. Miss Doubt, attended a "Y" con- ference of four colleges which was recently held at Shurtleff College. Alton. When they initiated the new officers thev held a real banquet all their own. Masculinity was absolutely excluded. The retiring president, Miss Neva Skelton, was Postmistress, and there were printed menu cards, and dainty "eat-." JVhe present officers are as follows: President, Ruth Walton: vice president. I.elia Neulinpr; secretary. Opal Hartline: treasurer. Nellie Britton. The chairmen of committees are: religious work. Ruth Hoppock ; social. Sylvia Neulimj ; social service. Lola Dey ; world fellowship, [la Oliver; Bible studv, Lois Dee. -..

TO THE MEMORY ' f Dorothy McCormack, deceased October 14, 1918, a freshman and a member of much loved "McKendree Family": Dr. and Mrs. J. L. McCormack, parents; Mis; Grace, sister, of Bone Gap, III.; Leo Glen, brother, class of 1915, who fell fighting i i France; and Mabel, sister. (Mrs. Guy Hesfet), an influenza victim. Dorothy'^ sweetness of cnaracter won the affection of all.

The Platonian Literary Society opened her doors to begin her regular literary work for the season on Friday night, September 27, L918. At this time twelve of the old members greeted each other in Plato Hall. Thirty-one new fellows joined the society through the year.

The society lias moved along through the year, holding its regular meet- ings without a break, except at the time when the school was closed on ac- count of the influenza. Besides the regular programs we have had some special occasions. On November 9, the society had a social gathering in the hall, and after music and games, refreshments were served. The evening of February 21, a Washington-Lincoln program was given. On Wednesday evening, April 30, a memorial service for the hoys who died in the great war was held. This also celebrated the seventieth anniversary of the found- ing of the s< iciety.

Two i.if the original sixteen founders of Plato have died during the year, Captain H. C. Fike and George W. Caldwell. We have especially missed the annual visit of Captain hike this year, hut as he had been in poor health for some time he was unable to come at the usual occasion of his visits.

Plato has a large silk service flag, containing sixty-two stars, three of which are gold. The gold stars represent haul S. Dee and Clyde Pavey, who died in camp, and Lieutenant Hershel Tritt. who made the supreme =c rifice in action in France. Plato is proud of these men. ami while she feels the tenderest sympathy for the families aid friends, she is proud to have been assi iciated with them.

Plato takes great pride in the achievements of her sons: A. (' Pernav. world-wide physician and surgeon: Kelson S. Cobleigh, eminent j' r -'it: Hon. J. H.

The Clionian Literary Societ) was organized by fourteen young womea on December 6, 1869, during tlie first term that women were permitted to attend McKendree. They adopted a constitution and a motto, "Jure Davinis," which was later changed to "Virtute et Lahore." The scene of the organiza- tion was sucessfully reproduced in appropriate costume at the historical pageant given on the night of May 1. 1919. Although the membership this year is small in comparison to that of other years, yet it makes up in spirit and quality what it lacks in numbers.

At the beginning of the school year the numbers of Clio entertained the new girls at a "Backward Party." As a mid-year exhibition, Clio gave a play entitled. "Her Son's Sweetheart." Later they reproduced it for the benefit of the Dewey Avenue Church at Granite City, where it was well re- ceived. Another public exhibition will "he given in June. In the annual V. M. C. A. stunt show this year, Clio was awardrl second place for her presentation of "Major and Company." Last year the society won fir-t place with a "Red Cross Work Room" scene.

The Philosophian Literary Society has the distinction of being the oldest literary organization west of the Allegheny Mountains. She has the proud record of eighty-two years, that is unexcelled by that of any similar organi- zation in the country, having been organized January 10, 1837.

In 1849 Philo's representation in the Illinois Legislature began with the election of Hon. Edward Abend of Belleville. From this time on Philo has had her representation in every session except two of the general as- semblies of Illinois. From the year ISfiS there has been but one session of Congress that has been without its Philo member or numbers in cither the Senate or House of Representatives, lion. Charles S. Zane, who. as chief justice of Utah, handed down the first decision which sounded the death knell of polygamy, was a Philo. Hon.

Professor Stokes is a McKendree graduate, class of 1913. He spent the following year at Illinois Uni- versity, and since then has been servjeing as athletic director in dif- ferent high schools. He was elect- ed professor of mathematics and athletic director at McKendree in the fall of 1918, coming from Mount Carmel Township High School.

As a McKendree student Profes- sor Stokes was one of the most popular men in school, and his popu- larity has not diminished since he has become an instructor. His basket-ball experience as a Mc- Kendree player has fitted him ad- mirably for a basketball coach.

Professor Stokes is very popular with the students on account of his sterling character and his absolute fairness to all. It is to be hoped that he will return next year, and enjoy even greater success than he has had this year.

"Fritz" Friedli, who coached last year's winning basket-ball team, responded to Professor Baker's emergency appeal to coach the team during Coach Stoke's sickness with all the loyalty of a true Mc- Kendree m».n. He came over from Belleville three nights a week and got the team back into its fighting form after the slump which fol- lowed Stoke's sickness. Fritz has a knack of putting more pep into a team just before a game than they can hold and he deserves a great deal of credit for winning some of our hardest games.

Fritz Wagener came to McKen- dree from Trenton High School and had little difficulty in making good in collegiate athletics in his first year. He is short, but heavy-set and built perfectly. His speed on the floor fits him for the running guard position, and he and Dolley work together admirably on the left side of the floor. He has start- ed out his college career well by making the all-star minor division team and is certain of winning greater honors in later years. His best games were against Carbon- dale at Lebanon, Cape Girardeau at the Cape, and Illinois College at Lebanon.

Captain Dolley, better known as "Jimmie," piloted the McKendree five through a very successful sea- son. He has been a member of the team for the last two years, and has a wonderful record for these two seasons. He was high point getter for the team during the last year and set a new college record for individual scoring. He is an all-round athlete and will be great- ly missed in football and baseball as well. Jim expects to coach ath- letics in some high school next year and the whole school joins in wishing him the best of success in the coming season.

By FRITZ WAGENER.

BENNY HALL. Benny Hall played his first year in collegiate basket-ball a] bad guard, and filled Waldo Miller's shoes very acceptably. He has had some high school experience, but had never found his real place on a bat feet-ball team until this year. He has an ideal build for a back guard, and sufficient weight to stand any amount of roughness. He has a good head and lets very few plays get by him. His best game was against St. Louis University at Lebanon.

HAROLD SENEFF. "Snek" Seneff came out tor tin- basket-ball team from the first prac- tice to last and certainly earned his position on the squad. He is a very capable guard ar.'d ( mid b ed upon to take Hall's pli scarcely a hitch in the team play. His greatest nsset is his ag n playing With another yi a peripnoe, he should (levc-lin !n:n :i star, as he is pi rfectly buill for a back guard and also has a /bSod basket ball head. His best game was against Scott Field at Lebanon

Baseball has never had the popularity and support that basket ball has enjoyed, chiefly because the baseball trams have never had the success that the basket ball teams have had. It has been only lately that our baseball team has left a winning record.

This spring, when the baseball call was made, only four of last year's team reported. However, all four were infielders, so the L918 infield is intact again this spring. Also a half dozen experienced players reported and the team looks much stronger than last year's team.

The pitchers this vear are Wagener, Doeblin and Yohe. All three arc fair pitchers and have had some experience. Wagener is the only left hander of the trio and he will probably bear the pitching burden of the season. The

catcher's position looked doubtful at first, but now we have as g 1 a catcher

as McKendree ever had in Yohe. "Gob" has had some previous experience

as catcher and has fitted into harness nicely, lie has a good arm, and a g 1

head and handles his pt'icher beautifully. As substitute catcher we have Ball, who promises to develop into a real catcher with a little more experience.

At first base McKendree has the best man that she has ever had in "Brick" Braun. He is short, and throws left-handed, but is a wonder at get- ting bail throws at first. He hits in the cleanup position and is always a dan- gerous batter. "Sprig" Young holds down second base and is a clever fielder and a fair hitter, lie and East, the sh,,rt stop, work together perfectly around the keystone bat;. East is one of the -urest fielding short -tops that McKen- dree has ever had. Mis pegging is perfect, and at bat he is always dangerous. Dolley, at third, completes an exceptionjfly fast infield. Dolley is the only member of the infield that hits from the left side of the plate, and is a fair hitter. His speed makes him a very capable lead-off man. Altogether the infield is well balanced and fast.

In the outfield we have a number of capable men, among them Doeblin, Wagener, Cover, Seneff and Ball. Wagener plays left field when he is not pitching, and is a fast, sure fielder Seneff is a reliable fielder and a heavy hitter, lie is a dangerous latter at all times. Doeblin p'ays left field when he is not pitching, and can always be counted on. Cover holds down center field and is about the surest man on fly balls on the team, lie hits from the left side of the plate ai d can be counted on for at least a Texas I. earner every game. Ball, Catt and Hall are a trio of substitutes who can take their place in tlie lineup with scarce'.y a hitch in the team play.

< >1.1 McKendree eagerly embraced the opportunity, offered by the national government in the late weeks of 1!M8. of devoting her plant and resources to the war department under the Student Army Training Corps plan. The offer was in it only an opportunity for the college to "do her bit," but was also to McKendree. as to most other small colleges, a veritable life-saver in the mat- ter of attendance. Through the year 1917-18 boys were dropping out one by one to join the colors — three of the faculty and many of the students had answered the call even earlier.

Many of McKendree'-- sons honored themselves and their college by of- fering their all mi the altar of their country, and several made the supreme sacrifice -• nie- mi the iields of France, some in the training camps at home. A partial list of these men appears below. They were in practically every branch of service and varied in rank from "buck private" to colonel.

The McKendree unit of the S. A. T. C. reigned supreme mi the campus from ( (ctober 1 t' > December 11. Three officers were assigned. Major Frank II. Andrus, a typical regular army man. a jovial gentleman whose personality was quickly felt mi the campus and about town, and two handsome and dash- ing young officers, Lieutenants Pruett and Howell. Carnegie Hall, and parts of Clark Hall and Pearson's Hall, were transformed into barracks, and ev- erybody ordered his movements by the sound of the bugle. Teachers and students alike bravely tried to be military and academic at the same time. and in this difficult program no one will deny that academic interest-- suffered somewhat. The "flu," too. did its deadly work, one member of the unit. Private Cecil Grattan Pinnell, of Eldorado. 111., succumbing.

WHAT WE WOULD ALL LIKE TO SEE—

Fewer outside activities. — Miss Doubt.

'Jlit rubbish on the campus removed to some open plain and cremated. — Miss Brooks.

More preachers in Philo and fewer infidels in Plato.

Lorene Freesmeyer get a beau and not look sidewise at the boys.

Th?t stump burned. — Mr. Boggy.

Becky ducked for not adhering to the truth.

That Vic and Ella do not act on the car in such a manner as to elicit from a total stranger a remark like "Is that a newly married couple?"

Longer and harder exams installed. — Miss Pierson, Professor Thrall and l'n ifessi i" St> ikes.

The students stop satirizing Professor Dolley's bald head.

Fluff Fluff eat bread and gum.

Fritz Wagener, while walking across the campus after the Thrall-Dolley campaign, was accosted with, "Saw you Patrick Henry, you didn't get Dolley. What are you going to do now?''

Frit;:, showing his teeth in a grin stretching from coast to coast, "< *h. I'm "Mm- to 1 )ey Now." And he did.

The following remarks let fall by one of the ^irls in Clark Hall show how strenuous our life is: "It was perfect torture to get up this morning. This is sn hot that I'm cooked alive. I've gone craz) - :r your picture. The light is so poor I'm positively blind. Speak louder. I can't hear a thin'g. You didn't speak tc me, I'm mad for life. 1 was petrified. Her impudence make- me simply wild. She gives me a pain 1 can't locate. Do shut that window, I'm frozen stiff. I haven't had a date in a coon's age. I'm so tired I can't budge. My clothes are worn to shreds. I was perfectly dumb. I'm completed ex- hausted. It was so funny I almost died laughing. I'm simply stuffed. I've got the murderinest headache. That boy drives me wild. Catting till I drop. I nearlv had a fit. Honey, I'm just dead." And still -he lives.

The oldest son was leaving for France. All the good-byes bad been said and the whole family were feeling rather badly. The small brother was more broken hearted than all the rest, and just as the -oblier was about to leave he ran to the door with his last word: "Oh, liill ; don't come back until you get some of those epitajhs on your shoulders.

To prove hi w imagination can influence a person, we have the incident where Ray E. iJinter and Sylvia were observing the phosphorescence from bacteria in a dark closet. Sylvia bad the dish in her right hand when the door was closed. Ray thought that he could see some sort of a light in the region of her right hand, in fact he was sure he could. But he was wrong; the dish was in the left hand.

SUFFACE.

This great production, which ha? just been brought reluctantly to a close, is entitled, "The McKendrean." Its classic title alone should insure its lasting fame as a masterpiece of accidental literature and cause it to be included in every collection of choice American literature. It will undoubtedly be trans- lated into several tongues.

Far be it from me to offer any sort of apology for this work. It speaks for itself to all who are attentive to its merits ami to the defects that fail to appear. But lest some reader has come to the end of this volume without a proper sense of its real nature, its intrinsic worth, its completeness, its thought content, its lofty purpose and pleasing style, I shall undertake to give that reader some idea as to the general attitude of the public toward the work, as well as an understanding of the spirit in which its authors approached it. This will undoubtedly remove any doubt in the reader's mind as to its right to a high place in literature. Few of us ever have any opinion about great literary masterpieces until Professor Thrall expresses his; thereafter we are willing to publish our views of the production in the most dogmatic fashion. It is my purpose here to enlighten in some such way any timid reader who is afraid to own to himself what he thinks of it for fear of having an unpopular opinion on the subject.

"The McKendrean." composed by a group of semi-bards of the most peculiar mental ability, is to lie placed on the place of The Iliad and The Odyssey, which modern criticism also asserts to have been composed by a number of bards with Homer probably acting as editor-in-chief.

Among the authors of this bonk we must mention as worthy of special note the editor-in-chief. Miss J. F. Becky Plajery, to whom is due all the honor for the excellent arrangement of the book. Stedman and Hutchinson's Library of American Literature appends the following note about her: "Through her keen insight and unceasing diligence she has succeeded in ar- ranging the mass of material compiled by her co-adjutants into an artistic whole. We have no criticism to offer on her work, realizing how difficult it must be to reduce a great conglomeration of facts to any kind of a system." We must not forget another name without whose noble efforts this monu- mental task would have proved fruitless. We refer to Mr. D. E. Chapsuir, tlu- agile and faithful business manager. Critics have much to say about his ability in detecting prosperous looking persons, his athletic appearance and hustling temperament.

All was not easy sailing in this great project, however, and the business manager and art editors bad many and long consultations with the editor-in- chief over the difficulties of the situation. The editor would wring her hands m despair and cry out. "O ! These slackers: how can they expect me to ar- range material that is never handed in?" The business manager would tear his hair and wail,-"\\ bv don't those students get more subscriptions, and why don't people bring me more ads; they can't expect me to do it all." And the

over-worked art editor would mutter. "If only that man would come and paint those portraits. 1 am sick of the whole business." And so it went. Each edit, ir toiled and fumed and it seemed ti > iv > avail.

When at last a day dawned when all could smile once more, confident that their labors were merited in the applause of others with the precious McKenarean ci itnpleted.

Critics say their emotion was like that of Ague Sprague whpse eyes tilled with tea!'- when -lie had completed her senior thesis, which appeared recently in book form and was enthusiastically received.

The material of the McKendrean may he roughly grouped under the subject heading Sociology. Libraries will take note of this fact and classify under the 300's. The contents of this hook consist of a series of articles, with illustrations, tables, diagrams, and ornamental appendages. The dis- courses deal with the psychical, physical, social, moral and scholastic develop- ment of humanity in modern times. For convenience this development is graphicalh presented in the form of an evolutionary history of a human being during four years of his growth, the age period being arbitrarily placed at from fourteen to forty-five years. A few exceptions to these ages are also admitted for the purpose of comparing their reactions to various methods of treatment. It is to he noted that all subjects are treated from a modern standpoint in the light of the latest scientific findings.

I Ipmions differ as to the climax of this book. It is the author's purpose that this should he the case. They intended from the outset that there should be no high point of interest, hut that the interest of the reader should be mainained at white heat throughout, and that the reader on laying down the

I. k should have much the same sensation as an inflated toy balloon

that is suddenly pricked with a pin.. To get the full effect of this sensation we would advise reading this book through at a single sitting. Then if the interesl were lacking, exhaustion would have much the same effect.

If any of the treats contained in this volume deserve special mention. let me briefly refer the reader t< i the account of the new girls' literary on page 2? the remarkable photograph of a S. A. T. C. man buried under four feet of snow, the record of a spread given in Clark Hall at H o'clock in the evening, and the remarkable poetic power of the description of the Clark Hall vesper services.

As to the criticisms of this book, there are only two of significance. < >ne has been admirably and tersely put into Fluff-fluff's Twentieth Century Album. There is no sense in having advertisements of business people in a small town in Southern Illinois who through their means continue to advertise good* they may once have had to sell. We realize the justice of this criticism. We recognized all along that the ads have little literary value and therefore have decided to exclude them from the revised tditii n of the work, which is to be taken in hand immediately. From the financial standpoint it appeared at first expedient to include them, but if they sl-,-,!l in an\ way interfere with the circulation of the book they must be eliminated.

Another criticism that has been raised a: ainst this book by superficial readers is that directed against the method of having a "huiniform" appendix. Instead, of having a touch of humor pervading the whole bonk and shining forth from all its pages, they say that we have relegated it all to the end where

there is so nijuch of it that the point of a great deal of it is lost because the mind is surfirced with it. This method is compared with that of a farmer who would thinly scatter seed over a large area of ground and dump the remainder in oife corner of the field. This criticism reflects upon our editor-in-chief's ability to systematize and she has urged me to respond that the main purpose of the book is serious and in parts tragic, even as the career of a person is likelv to be in real life, and that tl - ho cannot see the humor peeping

out here and there in the part- esp^ciallj designed and serving as relief scenes t< the more somber parts is a very obtuse person indeed, and one who should consult Prof. Thrall before airing his critical opinion.

In general, we welcome our readers' criticisms, favorable or (more reluctantly) otherwise. And now with this brief notice we commend our earnest labors to the readers' tender consideration and pray that the mercies of all the ancient g< ids be upon them.
