The Class of 1912 respectfully Dedicates this,
the tenth volume of the Agronieck
Prof. Browne
294 1?
JViUiam Hand "Browne, Jr.
William Hand Browne, Jr., son of William Hand Browne, Professor Emeritus
of English of Johns Hopkins University, was born after the Civil War, in Balti-
more Comity, Maryland. After attending i)ublic and private schools in Balti-
more, he entered Johns Hopkins University. From this institution he received
the A.B. degree in 1890, and the Certificate in Electrical Engineering in 1892.
During the year 1892-'93, he was Electrician for the Baltimore Traction Com])any,
and was in charge of the electrical equipment of the Baltimore and Pikesville
Kailway. As Electrical Engineer for Heywood, W^arfield, and Company, 1893-"96,
Mr. Browne was engaged in testing, remodeling, and installing light and power
plants, and in constructing electric railways. In 189G he became Instructor in
Electrical Engineering in the University of Nebraska; in 1898 Assistant Professor
of Electrical Engineering in the University of Illinois; and in 1902 Technical
Editor of the Electrical Review, New York City. This position he held imtil 1908,
when he became Professor of Electrical Engineering in the North Carolina College
of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, the position he now holds.
Professor Browne has contributed largely to the scientific discussion of the
problems of electricity. Besides his regular articles while editor of the Review,
comprising about four thousand words in weekly editorials, and original articles
as well, he wrote for other journals. For several years he was called upon to write
the annual review of electrical industry for the New York Timen. He wrote
various articles for Nelson's Encyclopedia, "The Electric Railway" being one of
these. A number of articles he contributed also to the Encyclopedia Americana.
Professor Browne still has occasional articles in the electrical journals.
Professor Browne is a member of the Sigma Xi (the honorary scientific fra-
ternity), of the Tau Beta Pi (the honorary engineering fraternity), an associate
member of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers — for five years he was
a member of the "Edison Medal Committee" of the Institute, a charter member
of the American Electro-Chemical Society, also of the Illuminating Engineers'
Society — the editor of its Transactions for two years, a member of the Society for
the Promotion of Engineering Education, and a contributing member of the
Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education.
Professor Browne was married in the city of ( "liicago in 1898. His wife
and four chiklren, with himself as head, make an interesting group in tlic social
life of the college conmmnity in West Raleigh.

Senior Class Poem
Oh, the good ship 1912 was launched
In warm September, 1908.
'Twas fitted, captained, giv'n a crew.
And sent fortli ripe for any fate.
'Twas guided through the Freshman Stream,
Past shoals where threatening dangers lurked
Of Math, Inspections, Conduct Book —
Each claimed some member who hat! shirked.
The Soph'more Rapids next it shot,
'Twas easier riding than before;
But too-swelled heads and hours late
And Math again claimed near a .score.
The Junior Sea it then sailed o'er.
Its voyage more than halfway done,
But sad to say, not more than half
Remained, who with it had begun.
The Senior Ocean now it sails.
Commencement Harbor, clear to sight.
Brings joy to sixty anxious hearts,
The sixty who have fought the fight.
The Harbor's gained, the ship is docked,
Each man now claims his just reward.
And starts to carve out for himself
The name he set his soul toward.
For four long years this gallant crew,
By joys and sorrows closely knit.
Have toiled and played and sweet ties formed,
Which strengthen as the long j-ears flit.
But now they part to meet no more
On this same close, endearing plane:
For them all crew work now is done —
Each sails alone life's boundless main.
But may the memory never fade,
In whate'er climes they dig or delve.
Of their comrades and the good old times
When they sailed in the good ship 1912.
Poet.
Senior Class History
THE Class of 1912 came to A & M in an attitude of expectancy, but with
a definite purpose and an unfailing will power. The classes before us
had all suffered at the hands of the Sophomores, and especially bad were
the newspaper reports of hazing during the year preceding ours at college. In
spite of all these dreadful reports there were ninety-nine of us who had heard enough
about the true A & M spirit to have determined to get the kind of training ofYered
here and to enter the college in the Fall of 1908. It is due to the fact that the
class was made up of fellows who were ready to brave difficulties and who possessed
tenacity' of purpose to an unusual degree that has l)rought sixty out of ninety-
nine through the Senior year.
Instead of finding a bunch of ruffians, as the newspaper reports would have
led one to expect, we found a lot of clean, clever boys, who believed in the exist-
ence of a Freshman Class, but who also believed that the individual of that class
must keep his place as a Freshman. And by constantly reminding us of this, a
majority of us must have kept our places fairly well; for it was this year that hazing
was first, and forever, it is hoped, "cut out" at A & M. Too much credit can
not be given to the Class of 1911 for their courage in doing away with hazing;
neither should the Class of 1912 be forgotten, for by our keeping our place as
Freshmen and offering our hearty support in the three years that lay before us
at A & M, we have done much to clinch the work of last year's class.
Although modesty would forbid our claiming it for ourselves, our teachers
give us credit for being above the average in intelligence, and a glance at the honor
men for the last three years will show that a great many of the class have applied
themselves. There are only five men in the class who have made the honor roll
for the four years at college. These are J. G. Kellogg, T. F. Gibson, H. L. Taylor,
McN. Dubose, and J. E. McGee. But nearly a fourth have made the honor
roll for the last three years, and from one-fourth to one-half for the last two years.
Our class football and baseball teams have not made any startling records,
owing to the fact that we have furnished so much material for the 'Varsity teams.
We won the championship in Imseball in our Freshman year, anil though this year
was the only time that we were victorious over the other teams, there have never
been any odds against us.
During our entire four years' stay at A & M we have been represented on the
'Varsity footl)all team bj' Seifert and Hartsell. In the Sophomore year Stafford
completed the mighty trio which has shown its strength for the past three years.
Two other men who have made good this year are Fetzer and Hargrove. In
baseball we gave Hartsell, Bost, Seifert, and Stafford in our Freshman year, and
the next year Speer was added. For the last two years we have furnished Stafford,
Speer. Seifert, and Hartsell. Bost did not return after his Sophomore year. To
these men, in both l)asehall and football, many victories are to be credited, they
lieing easily the stars of their teams.
28
Through tho influoncp of some of the leaders of the Class of 1012 there was
introdueetl and put into effect at A & M souiethins that will mean more to tiie
college than anything else that is \vithin the power of any student body to control;
something essential to every college of good standing; and it is something that'
is in vogue in one form or in another in nearly every college of first rank in tlic
United States. This is the Honor System. It was introduced hv some ol I lie
members of the Class of 1912 near the end of the Junior year; wa.s voted on by the
student body, and was carried unanimously. Since that time A & M has been
under the rules of the Honor System; and here it has met with marveloas success.
It is hoped by every one that all classes that come after us will give it their undivided
support. By doing so they help themselves, as well as their college and tiicir
State.
Our President during our Freshman year was Wakefield, who, however, did
not return to college after the first term of that year. The ne.xt year Hartsell
was elected President. The Junior year was reigned over by Seifcrt.wliilc for the
Senior year we selected Speer.
Now the time approaches when we must bid farewell to dear old A & U and
to the closest friendships that can ever be formed in life. Some of us may never
meet again; but I dare say that with the affectionate feeling found in the Cla,ss of
1912, the face of each individual will forever be fresh in the memories of us all, and
may we always be ready to speak a good word for our classmates. In this let there
be a continuation of our class motto, "Aim high, but reach higher."

"A. H." — Everybody admits that he is the

.Mondays and second Saturdays you are sure
to find him at Meredith College. He lost

Professor Park thinks he will awaken the
minds of the Mechanical Engineers some day,
if he does not allow his inclination for the fair
sex to detract him from his line of business.

"Di.xie" has always been admired as a

I'ontact. Just naturally conceded to be a
"good egg." Takes great interest in every

:l big name in college as manager of the foot-

for a kid, for you can not conceive of the
amount of knowledge he carries in his head.
He is the most successful Editor in Chief the
Agromeck has ever had, and his work ami

He has been one of the best students in the
Civil class, and he is sure of success it matters
not what he undertakes. He hails from
Chocowinity, but, somewhat like his fiictul
"Bob," he has allowed his heart to drifl
away from his home to the Gate City.

"Pickle" never loafs on the "hill" much.
He is hardly known by any except his cla.'<s-

He is so thin and small that it is wonderful
how those sparrow legs support such a great
head.

"Ich" has received the mantle of departed
editors of the Rerl ami White, and has made
it shine with renewed glory. Is most versa-
tile in his work about the College. Not
satisfied with "starring" in his class, he must
needs shine in Pullen, establish a fame as an
author, and dazzle the eves as an editor.

this he would be seen very little on the

A Toast
Here's to the steadfast, reliable man —
The man wath a tongue that's true,
Who won't promise to do any more than he can,
But who'll do what he says he'll do.
He may not be clever; he's often (luite lilunt,
Without even pohsh or air;
But, though it's not in him to "put up a front,"
When you need him he's always there.
So here's to the man on whom one can rely,
And here's to his lasting success;
May his species continue to multiply
And his shadow never grow less!
Senior Class Vrophecy
• r ■ ^AVAS the witching hour of midnight, and I sat before my desk trying
I in vain to adapt my weary brain to the requirements expected of a
"^ prophet. Hopeless task. Being only the first son of a third son, I
had not a single hope of coming out on an even break with what was expected of
me. Just as I sank back in despair, and as the last stroke of the bell for twelve
o'clock sounded, there appeared before my unbelieving eyes, a spirit. I sat up
and rubbed my eyes.
"Be not afraid," it muttered, "I have seen your plight and have come to help
you."
"But who are you?"
"I am the one who originated the idea of having a prophet in a graduating
class."
I fixed him with a baleful look.
"And might I ask what put that idea into your head?"
"I ju.st thought of it mj'self. But," he went on hastily, "I have been well
punished for it, as I must wander up and down, never resting, until the class
prophet shall be a thing of the past."
Thereupon I gloated with a most horrible gloat, and said,
"But, why help me?"
"Because, for every one I help my future punishment is mitigated a little."
"So you can toll me what my classmates will be doing in 1935?"
"Yes."
"Fire ahead, then. I \\\\\ give them to you alphabetically."
And as I called the roll of our Class, he told me what I have here set down.
Neily Ormon Alex.\nder —
He is a prosperous farmer at his old home, and has a most charming wife to
help him share his joys. He has been to the Legislature twice, where he showed
to advantage his training in the L.L.S. at the A & M. His eldest son graduates
at A & M this year, anfl the next matriculates the following year.
Allison Hodges Bond —
He is also prosperous, being the proprietor of a string of blacksmith shops,
.situated all over North Carolina, with headquarters at Durham, where he makes
his home. "A. H. Bond, Jr." also graduates this year at A & M. Mr. Bond is
a noted philanthropist, having endowed two colleges handsomely, Meredith and
Southern Conservatory of Music.
Allan Thurman Bowler —
He returned to his Florida home upon graduation, and from there he went
to South America, where he made his name by constructing a magnificent railroad
through the heart of the Andes. It is said that he kept his men in condition by
61
dividing tiiem into two squads and developing football teams. It is also said
that after such development avalanches, boa constrictors, etc., had no effect upon
them and as a consequence his work was done in record time.
Cl.iyton Edw.\rd Brown —
He has succeeded in life as he did in college, as he is now the head of the
engineering corps of the Seaboard Air Line, which is now one of the largest lines
in America. His only trouble seems to be bad dreams in which he is heard to mutter
these cabalistic letters: T H-E-A-G-R-O-M-E-C-K.
Stephen Cole Bruner —
He has applied successfully the principles he learned in college, and is now
prosperous and lives a life of ease and contentment. He is often seen around the
college, where he is a welcome visitor. He is as nonchalant as ever, and life rolls
along easily with him.
Bric'E Legrier ('.\ldwell —
He is now a member of the Chemical Research Society, one of the most able
bodies of chemists in America, which was organized and endowed in perpetuity
by one of the richest men of the time.
Ralph Campbell Deal —
He, following his bent, has invented a solar motor whereby the rays of the sun
are converted into electrical energy with marvelous efficiency. This, of course,
established him well in life, and now he has an innnense electrical laboratory,
where he works when the inclination seizes him, and abetted, no doubt, by the
presence of the fair lady of his heart, his happiness is comiilete.
Ernest Cofield Derby —
Just as he helped to build the 'Varsity of the A & M, so he has heljied to
build a railroad through from the United States to the southernmost portion of
South America, and so well has he done his work that they have made him Division
Superintendent. The engines on that line are noted for their short stops and they
say that if they do not run on time every one gets a quarter back.
McNeely DuBose —
His insatiable desire for traveling, coujjled with his keen l)rain and distaste
for unnecessary work, has placed him among the greatest of pioneers, for his powers
of observation together with his marvelous insight into human nature, have made
him a force to be reckoned with, and wherever he goes, almost immediately that
place breaks forth with new life. Of course his inevitable " side-pardner " is with
him.
Nevin Gould Fetzer —
He has a habit of going through life with a rush, just as he used to do in foot-
ball. Consequently, he is now a successful manufacturing chemist and he counts
his wealth large. Fetzer Hall at the A & M is a fine building, and attests his
£enerosit\'.
Thomas Fenner Gibson —
He has continued his good woriv at college and is now Professor of Pure Mathe-
matics at Harvard. He is a Ijachelor, poor fellow, iiut he seems to like it, so it is
all right.
KkH.\RD (ilERSCH —
He, of course, is coupled with "Mac" and the pair are astonishing the world
with their genius. It is said that, at nights, when he is not breaking pokers for
amusement, he is plaj-ing on one of his beloved instruments, haunting a shooting
gallery-, or adding to his well known collection of talented drawings of cats.
William Haywood CIraham, Jr. —
His knowledge of Electrical Engineering, together with his knowledge of men,
gathered from the Y. M. C. A. work, has made him the head of the W
Electric Company, and people come from all over the world to study his organiza-
tion methods. They say that Mrs. Graham had to take advantage of 1916, for,
although he knew what he wanted, his liashfulness would not let him tell it.
Robert McKenzie H.^rdison —
He went wdth "Kid" to the Seaboard and his worth was soon recognized;
today he is second to Brownie only on the Seaboard and he coukl not be pleased
better. Occasionallj' he and "Kid" take in a show together.
Harry Hartsell —
Harry succumbed to an attack of the heart soon after graduation, and they say
that the wedding was one of the most magnificent ever seen in North ( 'arolina.
He is doing well in his profession. Harry, Jr., they tell me, could hang on a door
knob with his left foot, when three years old, and .stop a bullet with one finger,
said bullet going at the rate of two thousand feet per second. But he could not
determine the energy stored up in it to save his life.
Willis Askew Holding —
With the natural charm with which he is so well endowed, and his unf|uestioned
ability to do what he wishes to do regardless of obstacles, Willis is undoubtedly
one of the most successful business men that Raleigh has ever had. His wholesale
and retail drug store is the talk of North Carolina, and he is noted for his wide-
awakeness, business ability, and frankness of opinion.
Samuel Benjamin Howard —
He is now Ciovernor of the Philippines. He reached this position by his natural
ability, after receiving his commission in the Constabulary. His fame, however,
rests not on this, but upon the book W'hich he compiled during his first years in the
Philippines, entitled, "Legendary Songs of the Carolinas." Such a complete
and interesting collection had never been seen before, and the book sold in the
hundred thousands.
Ralph Wilkinson Howell —
He has the largest holdings of land in Eastern Carolina, and leads a life of
luxurious ease. The young bloods of that section despair of ever equaling him
in the following of the fashions, as he makes the best of them look like tyros.
John Gordon Kellogg —
He has revolutionized Agriculture in his section of the State, and the State has
made him the head of the Agricultural Institute, located in his section, for the
instruction of the farmers in advanced methods of farming. He is ever cheerful
and his eloquence is known throughout the State.
Sam Jones Kirby —
He is editing the Sebna Agricultural Monthly and is making a huge success
of it. The comic columns are especially good. They tell me that he says he
lives a merry life and expects to die a merry death.
( 'arl Joshua Lambeth —
He went to the Philippines to teach the natives and succeeded well in his work.
He is now head of one department in the Islands and is happy. They tell me he
has built a college there for young ladies and called it Meredith.
Curtis Williams Lee —
He has remained at Monroe, where he has built a string of mills, augmenting
his father's. He is also proprietor of a college with a peculiar name, "The Almo
Grand Academy." He married shortly after leaving college, and has been a model
husband ever since.
Thomas Pinkney Lovelace —
He went to Westinghouse after graduation and made good, as he received
several offers, but he went to a water power plant in Washington State. He also
made good there and as a consequence worked his way up and purchased an in-
terest in the business. With this as a start he continued to purchase until now he
is the president of a large power company, owning plants all over the West.
James Edward McGee —
In 1920 the State, awakened to the absolute lack of any means for the average
citizen to identify the different qualities of goods, established a department for the
inspection and marking of all styles of goods sold in North Carolina. The excel-
lent work of Mr. McGee attracted their attention and he was made the head of
this new department, where he is now, having won fame for the excellence of his
work. His headquarters are in Raleigh and consequently his voice can often be
heard raised in song in the First Baptist.
Neill McQueen —
When the State estalilished the dci)artnient wlicrcin Mr. McCiee was made
head, they also estal)lished the ]iosition of Inspector of Mills in North Carolina.
The (lutips of this jiosition were to see that all mills had modern methods of manage-
ment, in that their goods came up to a certain standard and that their mill was
properlj' lighted, ventilated, and the laws concerning labor were enforced. Mr.
McQueen bj^ his excellent work in one of the mills in the State had gotten an en-
viable reputation, and so this was offered to him. He accepted and has filled the
position as no one else could, being liked by the mil! o^^^lPrs and enjoying the
unbounded confidence of the people.
Thomas Hunt M.'VCkie —
He is still as irreproachaljle in tlress as he ever was, antl is prosperous in his
profession. Of course he was soon cajitured and is now living a life of happy
captivit}-.
Walter Ray ]\Iann —
This gifted son of A & M returned to his home after graduation, but did not
remain there long. One night there was a lecturer at a towTi at which he happened
to be, discoursing on the political situation of North Carolina. After the lecture
was over, he invited questions. Walter proceeded to question him and so tangled
him up that he did not know what to do. Of course, his fame locally was estab-
lished, and at the next election he was persuaded to run for the House of Repre-
sentatives and defeated his opponent by a handsome majority. His maiden speech
is still talked about all over the State. He returned the next election, and at the
next one was elected to the Senate, where he is now. It is said that when he runs
for Governor the next election he is expected to have the largest majority' ever
returned in North Carolina. Al)0ve all else he is an ardent and noted advocate of
Peace.
Henry Basco.m Mercer —
This cheerful genius took a job with the Southern after graduation and by his
joyous alacrity for anj-thing which would help advance him, and by his smiling
visage, soon won his way into the good will and approbation of his employers.
Consequently, he has steadily advanced until he now is one of the \ace-presidents
of the road. And as the road has advanced almost as rapidly as Henry has, he is no
mean figure in the public eye.
Simon Turner ]\Iitchiner —
He also returned home after graduation, but did not stay long, as he received
an offer as foreman of a small machine shop in Ohio. He built this shop up by
perseverance, and by securing the manufacturing rights on some important pat-
ented articles he has e.xtended the shop until it now covers many acres, being one
of the largest foundries and machine shops in America. Mr. ]Mitchiner is now
one of the authorities on this class of work.
James Richard Mullen —
After leaving college he got a job \vith a consulting chemist and soon showed
that he had absorbed all that he studied in college. The chemist soon learned
65
that "Dirk" was fully competent, and as a consequence gave him full liberty to
conduct suc'h experiments as he desired. After years of experiment along original
lines he startled the world by his discoveries, which opened up a new field of re-
search and, of course, this made him famous. Added to this he is known every-
where as an advocate of gootl cheer.
Charles McKee Newcomb —
He went to South America after graduation, taking a position with a company
which was liuilding a railroad through the mountains of Chile. While in the heart
of a wlderness, surrounded by hostile natives, fever broke out and decimated
the camp, Charles being the only white man to recover. He took charge of the
remaining men, sent for more and pushed on the work, t\vice repulsing attacks
by the natives. The firm was so jileased with his prompt action that they placed
him in charge. While building a tunnel, he was fortunate in discovering one of
the secret treasure chambers of the Incas. His fortune being made, he only
waited to complete the road before he returned to Raleigh, where she rewarded
him with her hand.
Charlie Washinc;ton Owens —
He also went to South America, where he started with the same company that
employed Charles Newcomb and proceeded to build a solid reputation for himself
as an engineer. His work is as solid as he is, for he grows with advancing years in
both directions. As a reward for his good work, she gave him her hand, and they
live happily in her home city, where his reputation procures him all the work he
can possibly handle.
Alexander Holladay Pickel —
After finishing college, he continued in the path in which he had traveled
before entering college. His work in college having amplified his knowledge, and
opened a wider vista before him, he went on with his experiments and was a pioneer
in the development of wireless telephony over long distances, and also invented
several electrical articles that proved of worldwide importance, in that they
superseded old styles, doing the work better, quicker, and in a more convenient waj-.
He spends most of his time in the Old l^ominicin, as she likes to stay near her friends
and relatives.
Bryant Mt)NROE Potter —
This man, not content with working his way u]) from obscurity to the eminence
of being regartled as the peer of Civil Engineers in private life, nmst create for him-
self undying fame as the author of several novels, dealing with the romantic sur-
roundings of Southjiort. It is also said that he has had a handsome sliarc in the
endowment fund of a college founded for tiie devciopinent of writers of short
stories.
Louis Napoleon Riggan —
Of course, one who began so well could not but succeed in life and so he left here
and went West, where he helped to build the Trans-Continental Railroad from
San Francisco to Norfolk. As time passed on, his value was more and more seen,
and now he is head of the easternmost di\'ision and doing well. It is rumored that
one day the north wind blew off his derby hat and Louis hit the wind so hard that
it ^\ill not come back in that section, hence the climate is imusually delightful.
Archie Knight Robertson —
He received an offer from the State immediately after graduation and accepted
it. His delightful and eloquent voice was soon discovered, and he was requested
to join its board of lecturers on the educational car sent around North Carolina
for the benefit of the farmers who could not reach the Institutes. Consequently
he is now quite famous for his knowledge of Agriculture and for his genial whole
souledness.
David Walter Seifert —
After leaving college he went to Mexico, getting a position on the same road
as his classmate Derby. He rapidly became prominent, the following incident
being the cause of it. One day he was riding on a train and it broke loose from the
engine, and ran wild. The road was very crooked but it is said that Dutch rode
it out, for nothing in the way of curves could ever feaze him. They appreciated
a good thing for he now has a good job with the road and is happy with his wife.
They both like Mexico, but like Raleigh better, as the scene of their respective
Alma Maters.
Fleming Bates Sherwood —
He did not leave Raleigh, but took up an offer of a position in the city. As
a consequence, he continues to go out to the college every morning, not, however,
to recite in classes, but to his daily duties as an Instructor at the A & M, in the
Chemical Department. His conscientious work, as well as his work in the labora-
tory, which he did in the time not taken up by his classes, helped to advance
him and now he is the head of the Chemical Department. They live happily
in Raleigh.
William Talmage Shltll —
He settled down to work after graduation and applied himself to his work
as a Civil Engineer. As a consequence his fine brain soon won him recognition as
an unusually accurate and efficient Civil Engineer. His services are eagerly sought
whenever he finishes a piece of work, so he is constantly busy. His leisure mo-
ments are spent in coaxing harmonious strains from the "smnette." It is also
said that he is half owner of the Almo Grand Academy.
James McCree Smith —
He also stayed in Raleigh after graduation, as he was offered a position in the
Agricultural Department, where he had done such good work while in college.
67
He did his work well and as the years went on he steadily climbed until he is now
the head of one of the departments. He and Mrs. Smith live happily on Maiden
Lane.
Okus Wilder Smith —
He took up the special course with the fJeneral Electric Company and his
ability procured him a position in the drafting department, but the excellence of
his work soon brought him into line for promotion, and so well did he use his op-
portunities that he steadily advanced and now is at the head of the Department
of Design. Shortly after he completed the special course and received the offer
of a position, he returned to Raleigh long enough to carry away a fair daughter
of North Carolina. They are very happy in their Northern home.
Edward Pinkney Speer —
He took the special course with Westinghouse, and after he had finished the
course received several good offers, and took one as the manager of an electric
company in the Old North State. Since then his sphere of activity has steadily
increased, as his work while with this company was such as to bring him before the
eyes of those who had control of the big companies in the State. He is now the
manager of a score of plants and is very well known all over the United States.
He married shortly after graduation and now is in town to see his daughter graduate
at Meredith.
Talmage Holt Stafford —
After graduation "Tal" received an offer from the big leagues, where he
proceeded to more than make good. In the winter he takes personal control of
his big farm, which is a model for this section of the State. During the season,
he has a manager to attend to it while the fans idolize him. He is conceded to be
one of the greatest pitchers that ever worked in the big leagues. He married a
Raleigh girl, and she goes with him wherever he goes and sits in the middle of the
grandstand where he can see her. If he ever gets in a tight place she smiles at him
and then the opponents are done for.
Clarence Alexander Stedman —
He took a position with the State after graduation and has steadily advanced.
He was so steady in his work that he was rapidly promoted until he is now the head
chemist of North Carolina. He also married shortly after graduation and they
are considered one of the happiest families in Raleigh.
Needham Bryan Stevens —
He retired to the farm after leaving college and in a very short time his farm
was the talk of his section. So well did he manage that he made handsome profits
every year. So he began to add to his land and has kept this up until now he
owns farms all over his county. In fact his holdings are so extensive that he has
to stay in town to watch the markets, leaving his managers to work his farms.
He is still as happy as ever and in the winter comes clown to talk it over with
"Tal."
William Perry Sugg —
He also is in the front of civil engineers, having enlisted with the Norfolk
Southern. He has slowly but surely come forward and now he has a good job.
He spends a good part of his time in Raleigh, where he first met Mrs. Sugg.
Arthur Willis Taylor —
After graduation he received an offer of a position as Instructor in Mathe-
matics at the Mississippi A & M. He accepted and has advanced with the pro-
cession of the years until he is now the head of the department. He is happy,
though married.
Culver IMurat Taylor —
He also went to the General Electric Company. After finishing the course
he was offered a position with the company, which he accepted, and by hard work
and steady application has been promoted, until he now holds a position of much
responsibility in the electrical ilepartment, which commands a handsome salary.
He still plays on his "swinettc^" whenever the neighbors will allow it. They live
very happily at Schenectady.
George Logan Thompson —
He entered the Army after graduation, and after many years he is now on the
General Staff at Washington, being a Major. He is noted for his thorough grasp
of military matters and conscientious and punctilious performance of his duties, as
well as being a diplomatist of the first water. He has been back to the college
several times since graduation, and the boys are always glad to see him, as he
has an inexhaustible fund of good stories and an inimitable way of telling them.
Mrs. Thompson is noted for her wit and beauty.
John Sam Thompson —
He returned home after graduation and remained there for quite a while,
developing a farm that was a model for that part of North Carolina. However,
his neighbors and friends said that he was too good to waste his sweetness on the
air of that place, and he was nominated and elected to the House of Representa-
tives to represent his county. After several terms in the House he was elected to
the Senate, where he now occupies a seat. He is always conservative and they
say he can keep his mouth shut, no matter how full his l)rain is of a subject.
George Reid Trotter —
He went with Speer to take the special course at Westinghouse, but after
finishing the course did not return to North Carolina, going to California to install
some turbines. He liked it so well there that he stayed there and got a job with
the plant as Chief Engineer. He did so well in that position that he was made
chief over all the plants owned by that company, which were not a few. He is
also married and, of course, he came back to North Carolina to get her.
Harry JNIoore Walton —
He also entered the Army after graduation and as the years rolled by he has
been gradually promoted, and now he is a Major of Infantry. The men in his
battalion will do anything for him, as he treats them so well and takes an interest
in their welfare. He came back to North Carolina to be married, as so manj- of
his classmates did, and she has proved a worthy helpmeet to him, as she knows
how to manage even better than he, and they say that he is a mighty good manager.
Hugh Powell Whitted —
He started out in his profession, but the seductiveness of editorial work over-
came all else and he accepted a position with the Cinl Engineering MontJily, where
he immediately became the happiest of mortals. His articles were so able that he
was gradually advanced until he is now the Editor in Chief of the magazine. He
is now an authority on civil engineering and the magazine has the largest circula-
tion among the technical magazines in America.
Wallace Woodson Williams —
He took a position at the Experimental Laboratory of Ohio after graduation,
and surprised everyone by his tremendous application to work, and the result
was shown in his slow but sure advancement, and now he is the head of this labora-
tory. He is one of the authorities of America on the subject of Chemistry. In
addition he has cultivated his talent for drawing antl he now draws one of the
prettiest checks in the United States.
Fred Barnett Wheeler —
He entered a large machine shop after graduation and his knowledge of forge
work, together with his skill as a machinist, soon brought him into the notice of
the head of the shop. So he has gone ahead steadily, and now is the head of the
shop, which is one of the largest in the country. He, like all the rest, came to
Raleigh and stayed long enough to take away a daughter of Raleigh.
As I wrote the last word of the foregoing, I looked uji and, behold! the spirit
was grinning most maliciously.
"W^hy the grin?" I asked.
"Because every class prophet fades into obscurity after graduation," and
grinning most horribly, he faded from sight.
Prophet.

The Last JVilland Testament of the
Class of 1912
The members of the Class of 1912, having arrived at that juncture in life
known as " Graduation," and being both sound in mind and spirit, do herein
bequeath, give, donate, and in other ways let unto the persons and organizations
hereinafter mentioned, the following property and rights of the said class, to be
used by the hereinafter mentioned persons and organizations as they may in their
judgment see fit to use and exercise.
First and foremost, unto our College President, Dr. D. H. Hill, we lovingly

ports not hereinafter bequeathed to others. May these ever keep the remembrance
of the class clear in the mind of the Doctor.
Unto the Dean, Dr. T. P. Harrison, is left the remembrance of our little pri-
vate conversations regarding "Conduct" and the "Skipping of too many classes."
To the Bursar is given all the old wornout board receipts, so that he may have
some tangible tilings to keep in remembrance of our class.
And unto Registrar Owen is lovingly and tenderly given to be kept forever
in kind and lasting remembrance all those reports that have been heaped on the
class concerning conduct and class absences.
To be ever fresh in the minds of the Professors and Instructors of this college
the class tends the numerous and Various slips turned in regarding "Conditions
Removed" to be divided and bestowed as follows:

Rudy.
83
Unto the Junior Class we surrender a certain tract or parcel of land situated
in the County of Wake, in the State of North Carolina, near the City of Raleigh,
known and fully described as the A & M College Campus. Said tract or parcel
is bounded as follows: On the north by nothing, on the east by worse, on the
south by worser, and on the west by ivorstest. Provided: That the said Junior
Class look after, and care for, or oversee by the use of "ramming," "reporting,"
or by such other methods as will tend to diminish lawlessness, \'ice, going to town,
disorder, missing inspections, crime, smoking cigarettes, freshness, greenness,
disobedience, excessive pride, ungovernable tempers, and such like vicious and
unmanly habits among the students of the said A & M College. As sovereign
rulers of the aforementioned tract or parcel of land situated as hereinbefore describetl
we leave an abundance of the reports in the Registrar's Office to consult in case
of the means of "fixing" one of the incoming fresh Freshies.
And to the Sophomores are tendered the studious habits of tlic Junior, to-
gether with the pleasurable anticipations of being a Senior.
To the Freshman Class is given the proud and lordly traits so common to the
Sophomores and there is further bequeathed to this class two hundred '16 Freshmen
to train in the strait and narrow paths of virtue. The 1912 paint bucket, now
sleeping the sleep of the just beneath the old historic water tank, is handed to this
class to be kept, admired, and used throughout the coming year.
To the class yet unborn, the Class of '16, is given company with six hundred
of the best fellows in existence; and there is further tendered to this class all the
traditions and records of this school born in the classrooms and on the athletic
field to be kept and hallowed throughout the existence of the said class at this
college.
To editors of the Agromeck, Red and White, and Wau Gau Rac is bequeathed
and donated a fat subscription list, generous advertisers, a peck and a half of the
trouble, a half pint of the sympathy, two hundred gallons of the abu.se, the curses,
the indignation, the threats, and such other miscellaneous equipment that has
been hurled at the editors of the aforementioned periodicals during the year.
To the literary societies, fraternities, and clubs is left some "good pickings"
lioth from the old boys and from the incoming Freshies.
To St. Mary's, Peace, antl Meredith is tendered all those dress parades they
have witnessed, and the many celebrations during which patriotic college spirit
compelled us to sing and yell the delights of the said A & M College; and be it
further known that the ardent devotion, real or otherwise, wasted or bearing fruit,
with which the said class has always held the inmates of the said schools is still
given to the girls of the said schools.
To those of our classmates who by virtue of their wasted opportunities and
"bone headedness" will of necessity become "hand me downs" to the 1913 Class
is given sympathy that is la,sting and real, and to the saifl "hand me downs" there
is further tendered the hope that Dame Fortune will smile more sweetly upon
them in 1913.
And unto all those who love and admire our common mother, dear old A & M,
there is given a feeling that is kindred to brotherly love, and a lasting and pleasur-
84
able joy that can only come through being on the right side. May the livef5 of
all who are mentioned in these dissections be long, happy, bright, and useful to
humanity.
State or North Carolina,
County of Wake.
I, Jack Rastus Mose, a Notary Public in Wake County, hereby certify that
personally appeared before me this day the Class of 1912 at the A & M College,
who presented the attached Last Will and Testament, and who being duly sworn,
deposeth and saith that the said Last Will and Testament is an accurate represen-
tation and description of the desires of said Class of 1912 of the A & M College.
(Signed) CLASS OF 1912 AT A & M COLLEGE.
Sworn and subscribed to before me this the first day of March, 1912. Witness
my hand and Notarial Seal.

Junior Class 'Poem
Here's to a class so strong and great,
To the class of the Blue and White ;
To a class that has never been beat,
Whose motto is fight, fight, fight.
They say that thirteen is unlucky.
But n all things we'v e shown them we're plucky.
For when in a game
We have yet to be tamed.
We have been here three years.
And what we have done on the hill
Will always be told for years,
So let the Freshmen laugh if they will.
We painted thirteen on the tank —
The Faculty thought it a prank.
From the Fair it showed fine.
And maybe it will wear off in time.
We have loved our class
For the men it has produced.
And now we'll shine like glass
While later we'll be deduced.
So here's to the class so strong anil true —
To the class of the White and Blue;
"Thirteen," may we never forget her,
But stick until we are through.

History of the Junior Class
In Septpinber, 1909, we registered six score ami eight of the greenest Fresh-
men that ever graced a college campus. We soon fountl that hazing had been
abolished, and that we could roam the college campus unmolested by the "Sophs."
The class was soon organized with J. I. McCallum as President, Sol Woolard as
Vice-President, R. M. White as Secretary and Treasurer, G. L. Bain as Poet, and
F. S. Hales as Historian. The class could not have chosen a more able set of men
to lead us through our Freshman year.
We celebrated our promotion to the ranks of Sophomores by painting '13's
all over the place, letting others know that we were the " Lords of the College."
Some of us were made Corporals in the Battalion, and took great delight in ex-
pounding the jjrinciples of military science to the Freshmen, who wondered what
was coming next. The following officers were chosen to preside during the Sopho-
more year over the destinies of our glorious class of ninety-six members: D. A.
Robertson, President; G. L. Bain, \'ice-President; J. O. Rankin, Secretary; T. J.
Hewitt, Treasurer; G. W. Brice, Historian, and W. H. Sullivan, Poet.
Most of the fellows returned in the Fall of 1911, no longer as Sophomores,
but as Juniors. It was then that we began to realize what college meant to us
and what we were here for. We applied ourselves to our l)ack conditions with
what success only our Professors know.
Our class has furnished several men for college athletics. On the football
team are: Robertson, Von Eberstein, Floyd, Hurtt, Sykes, Spencer, and Davis.
Floyd and Robertson made the "All South Atlantic" football team. To base-
ball we contril)uted Riddick, Robertson, and Page.
In class athletics we have made a record which has never been made by a
class in the history of this college. Our football team has not been scored upon by
any other class team, and has won the cup for two years. In our Freshman year
we easily won the class championship in baseball, but we lost last year after a
hard fought game. In basketball we defeated the Freshmen, who in turn were
defeated by the Juniors who had defeated us, thus making a triple tie.
Many of our number have, during the past two and a half years, fallen Ijj' the
wayside, and some few recruits have joined us. With J. B. Coward, President;
L. C. Hand, Vice-President; S. B. Sykes, Treasurer; T. J. Hewitt, Secretary, and
W. C. Hopkins, Poet, to lead us through the rest of this year, we hope to return
next year and graduate with credit to our college and State.

Sophomore Class Poem
Here's to thee, old A & M,
And thy past so grand;
We drink thy health right histily,
And pledge \vith heart and hand
The Class of 14's loyalty—
None truer in the land;
And drink to ideals brave and high,
For which we ever stand.
Here's to thy record in the past
And to thy future Ijright,
To make it great and glorious
We'll strive with all our might
To make our class a winning one,
Victorious in each fight —
Bringing honors to A & M,
Fame to the red and white.
Here's to the men of A & M,
The men so true and tried,
Who ever make a record good
Out in the world so wde ;
Here's health to them and wealth lo them
And much of joy beside —
All honor, fame, and praise be theirs
Our Alma Mater's pride.

Sophomore History
Class of 1914
When we entered the A & M College in September, 1910, we were nothing
but a bunch of poor, green Freshmen, ready to brave the trials and tribulations of
the humble Freshman year, and looking forward with eagerness towards that glori-
ous time when we might be called by that high and mighty name, "Sophomore."
Those first days, weeks, and months tlragged wearily on, for we soon realized that
we were not only green Freshmen, but, judging from the epitaphs used by our
fearful Sophomore friends, we were always d d Freshmen. We heard ourselves
called by this name so often that we soon came to the conclusion that such must
have been the case. However, the days soon changed into weeks, and the weeks
into months, and the Christmas holidays came to break the monotony of our d d
Freshmanship. After Christmas, we had been here long enough to begin to become
acquainted with, and to love our class and each other, and to become proud of
the fact that we constituted the largest and best Freshman Class in the history
of the college. As the end of the year came, and we looked backward on the trials
and hardships which we had suiTered, we also became aware of the fact that there
had been much joy and happiness left behind in that year. Mingled with this
was a feeling of delight in the realization of the fact that we were passing into the
state of Sophomoreship, and would never be Freshmen again.
In the fall of 1911, when we entered upon the duties and responsibilities of
being Sophomores, we enjoyed the distinction of being the largest Sophomore
Class in the history of A & M, and hope to show, before the year has passed, that our
standard as to quality ranks equal to that as to quantity. We also recognized
the sad fact that the present Freshman would not be d d at all, and in fact,
he absolutely refused to be anjihing except "His Majesty, the Freshman." As
we had made a promise, as had the previous Sophomore classes before us, that we
would do no hazing, we could not show the Freshmen their places in that way, so
it was decided to draw up rules and regulations regarding the conduct of that class,
which was approved by the Junior and Senior classes. However, after much
excitement and discussion of the matter, it was decided, at a meeting of the Presi-
dent of the College with the Senior Class, that the Freshmen were to be given a
lecture regarding their place and responsibilities in college, and the matter be al-
lowed to drop.
Our class is very proud of the place she has held in college athletics. We
have three men, Anthony, Cool, and Phillips, to show the big monograms and
represent us on the 'Varsity football team. These men not onlj' made the team,
but were stars. Besides these, we have several men among the first string of
sub.stitutes and scrubs.
On the baseball team we were represented by Farmer and Patton, they having
been two of the most consistent players on the team. Farmer showed up espe-
cially well with the willow, haviiifi Iccl the team in hatting with an average of
.415. We also have .some promi.sing material among the substitutes and scrubs
of the ba.seball squad, and at this time we have only had one season in whieh to
bring .stars to the front, and are counting on others to show up as our class grows
older.
We are represented on the track team by Kephart, who won over tiic man
holding the State record for the mile run. The track on which this man made
the State record was a much better track than the one used when Kephart beat
him.
In basketball we are well represented, with Chambers (Captain) and Austin
on the 'Varsity, and others among the promising substitutes.
In class athletics we rank high, having w'on the Faculty Cup for the class
championship in baseball last year. In football, although we lost both j^ears, we
held the best class football team A & M has ever had to a score of 6 to 0 in each
instance, the teams having been equally matched. This team was the Class of
1913, which has never been scored on. In basketball we beat every other
team except the Sophomores, the result in the championship series having been
a tie.
As we continue to trudge towards the close of our Sophomore year we begin
to acquire that feeling of pride in our class, and good fellowship among our class-
mates, which go to constitute the "College Spirit," and love for each other which
every college man should possess. As the time passes on we continue to know
each other better and to discover the qualities and characteristics of the different
men in our class who are achieving great things in their college life, and w^ho are
destined to achieve greater things in the walks of their lives after they have finished
their college course.

Freshman Class Poem
We are Freshmen, to be sure,
Sophomore taunts we must endure.
Never have the Juniors said:
'Have your frohc, go ahead."
Paltry in the Seniors' eyes,
Yes, we know we are despised.
When we came, we came to work.
Though at times we've wished to shirk.
When all began our college life,
Each craved heroism in the strife;
Patiently endure and stick to our post.
Else we fail and give up the ghost.
Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors to be
Ere each one receives his degree;
Many Bachelors of various kinds
When we depart with developed minds.
Although our success remains unseen.
Watch the Class of Nineteen-fifteen.

Class History
Class of 191S
The Class of 1915 began its college life on the seventh of September wth
something like two hundred men. We were a green set, green as the proverbial
grass in color. We kept the Registrar and Bursar busy for awhile getting regis-
tered and assigned rooms.
Our fear of the Sophs was great at first, antl as they turnetl a few of us out of
our beds it increased; but we soon found that if we behaved as Freshmen should,
they would not trouble us.
The first month we were busy learning the ways of college and getting our
classes straightened out. Between classes and learning to drill we found our way
to the Postoffice, Y. M. C. A., and Library.
About the middle of the first month we elected a temporary President, but later
regular officers were chosen. The following were elected: W. T. Grimsley, Presi-
dent; Wilbur Sumner, Vice-President; B. W. Setzer, Secretary; J. F. Brawley,
Treasurer; R. K. Hatton, Historian. Mr. Brawley was elected as Honor Repre-
sentative of the class and W. S. Howell was chosen as football manager.
In athletics I am sure we did our part. We furnished the 'Varsity sciuad
several good men and a number of our men were on the scrub eleven. All did
good work. In the class games Captain Sumner lead the team to a tie with
the Juniors for the championship.
In basketball we were well represented antl are proutl of the showing our men
made. A number of the men are making a gootl showing on the track and base-
ball squads, and we are sure they will develop into first-class men.
We have the largest class ever registered at dear old A & M, and are proud
of the class and men. I am sure that our class will give a splendid account of itself
and lead all others during the time we are on the hill. I am sure, too, that the
boys of 191.5 will make records in life after graduation.

The "Battalion
Probably not one-fourth of the knowledge ol)tain('il from a college course is
of any practical use to the graduate in after life, yet who for that reason would
condemn a system of college education? The studies pursued in college find their
greatest benefit in the mental exercise and discijiline they afi'ord, and no subject
affords this more than military drill. It emphasizes the importance of good and
accurate use of language; it develops in officers the ]jower to control and command,
and affords an excellent form of physical exercise so necessary to students.
At present our college is especially fortunate in having an able, efficient, and
highly esteemed officer as Commandant, Captain W. tJ. Peace, of the Coast
Artillery Corps. The Battalion and the whole college feel a deep sense of grati-
tude and appreciation toward Captain Peace for his untiring efforts to bring the
Battalion up to the high standard set by the War Dejiartment. The remarkable
improvement in the military department here, since the beginning of his admin-
istration, two years ago, stands as proof that his efforts have not been in vain.
At the beginning of this session the Battalion was organized with six full
companies and the band. After the assignment of the officers and non-commis-
sioned officers to the various companies, came the most difficult and disagreeable
task of the whole year — the instruction of about two hundred new men, part of
whom had never seen any drill before. However, and to the pleasure of all, the n(>w
men went into it with determination and were unusually quick in mastering the
knowledge requisite to being a soldier.
The Fall Term was taken up mostly in ('om])aiiy and Hattalinn drill, Imtii
close and extended order. For the first month and a iialf drill was held five times
a week to prepare the new men for an annual com]:)etitive drill, which was held
on the parade grounds October 30th. Captain Dougherty, U. S. A., now Instruc-
tor for the North Carolina 8tatc Guard, kindly consented to be the judge for
this occasion. The pennant was awarded to Company F, vmder command of Cap-
tain R. M. Hardison, while second honors went to Company B, under coniinaiid
of Captain H. P. Whitted.
The Spring Term was taken u]) in the various kinds of drill, together willi
gallery and target practice. After the annual inspection in A])ril no regular drill
was held, but target practice was continued.

Edward L. Greene
General Athletic
Director
Edward L. (ireeiie is a
graduate of the University
of Pennsylvania, Class of
1908. He played on the
Quaker eleven for four
years, being captain of the
team in his Junior year.
He had the distinction of
being selected as an "All
American" half-back one
year. Besides his activity
in football, Greene was a
prominent member of the
Penn track team for two
years, taking part in the
dashes, low hurdles, and broad jump. He w^as a member of the famous Quaker
relay team that won the world's championship in 1905. At the World's Fair in
St. Louis in 1904 Greene won second place in the world's broad jump, his distance
being twenty-two feet and one inch.
In the Fall of 1909 Greene took up the position of football coach at A & JNI,
he having coached the University of North Carolina football team the year pre-
vious, his first year out of college. By his personality he soon won a warm place
in the regard of the faculty, the student body, and the friends of the college, and
his popularity has steadily increased from that time. He has that altogether nec-
essary prerequisite of a successful coach, the ability to handle men, and the foot-
ball teams that he has turned out for the Red and Wliite in the past three years
have been the pride of the whole State.
Feeling the need of a man to be actively in charge of athletics from one year's
end to another, the Athletic Council the first of January secured the ser\-ices of
"Eddie" Greene as Athletic Director at A & M, to take active charge of the four
athletic teams, viz., football, baseball, track, and basketball, and it is felt that
vmder his capable guidance athletics will more nearly represent its true aim in
college life, the physical development of the entire student body, and that success-
ful teams will still be developed to represent A & M in intercollegiate contests.

Tragic Story of Ninth Inning Gave the Farmers
a Hard Fought Victory
Cushion Pitched in Super-Sensational Style Until His Catcher Got Hurt and
Then Gave Free Exhibition of Aviating, Losing Game in Last
Inning—Many Spectacular Performances
A tragic ending brought Davidson a hard
defeat at the hands of the stalwart sons of
the Agricuhiiral and Mechanical College,
Raleigh, by the score of 4 to 2 yesterday
afternoon. The victory probably revolved
around an accident that occurred to Catcher
Mattison of Davidson in the latter half of
the eighth when he suffered a severe lacera-
tion of his little finger and had to be replaced
by Dunn. Big "Liz" Cashion had the
phenom Farmers whiffing at almost every-
thing that he dished out up to this time
and his twirling bore every mark of the
super-sensational until the ninth when,
seeming to lose confidence in his catcher,
the slabman went to smithereens and the
opposing contingent scored four runs amid
tumultuous applause. It was a hard dose
for the big fellow and the gamesters from the
Presbyterian colony who seemed to deserve
the title all through the proceedings by
reason of excellent defensive work and Cash-
ion's triumphant twirUng.
BAD WEATHER BUT GOOD GAME.
The game was unraveled in a period of
exceedingly raw weather. Damp and dark
and chill and cold, the day was not made for
handling the sphere. The crowd was not
large, only about .500 braving the fierceness
of the elements to witness the cavortings
of the }-outhful artists of the diamond. The
grandstand, however, was lively. Rivalry
continued among the adherents of the two
teams. The boys shouted and uttered col-
lege yells throughout the entire procedure
and when Cashion aviated in the ninth,
the Farmers' friends gave forth an outburst
of enthusiasm and applause that would rival
Mt. Etna in one of its fretful moods. The
crowd sympathized with the Presbyterians
because of their plucky fighting and largely
with Cashion because of the accident that
probably robbed him of a gilt-edge victory
over the big fellows from the capital city.
MANY BRILLIAXT BURSTS.
The brilliant twirling of Cashion was not
the only lustrous feature to the game. As
a matter of fact Stafford was not falUng far
short of measuring to the doings of the
Davidsonian on the firing line, especially in
the pinches where he was even more superior
than Cashion. Both yielded the same num-
ber of hits, but Cashion's offerings were of
such a variety that eleven Farmers ozonized
under his reign. He was wilder than .Staf-
ford, but in all instances except the ninth
frame, he was ready in extricating himself
from threatening disaster. Speaking of the
features, though, there was plenty of stuff
uncorked to interest a crowd. \Yhen Tiny
Graham raced back in center to a point not
far distant from where the Bull Durham
sign has been residing for a year and corraled
one of the longest balls ever driven on the
local grounds from the bat of Hartsell,
capturing the thing with one hand on a dead
run, there was .something of an uproar in
the stands. It was a neat and nifty piece
of fielding, just about as sensational an ex-
ecution as is worked out in one season. The
ball looked good for the four sacks when it
departed and Hartsell never stopped running
until he had closed down on the counting-
pan, so confident was he that the lick had
gone beyond the grasp of the midget gardener
in center.
BOOE AND HART.SELL SHINE.
Turning around very quickly and coming
back to the infield, Booe and Hartsell at
third and short, respectively, for Davidson
and A & M, more respectively, seemed to
be trying to rival each other in sensational
productions. Booe covered three stiff ground-
ers to%vard short in big league style and
Hartsell at short for the Farmers was a tower
of strength and then .some. His work was of
the incandescent kind that is seen only now
and then in college baseball. He was up
in the air one moment after something,
sticking up one hand the next after a liner,
cavorting in deep left for swats that seemed
safe and going hither and thither just natur-
ally eating things up. His activities were
grand operatic.
DAVIDSON SCORES EARLY.
To approach detail more closely, Davidson
opened up with a run in the first inning when
Graham waited angrily for Stafford to shoot
four wild ones in the vicinity of Ills frail
form. On a splendid sacrificial bunt, Kluttz
was safe because of Williams' nuiff of Staf-
ford's throw and Booe sent the two runners
a notch higher by another excellent piece of
bunting. Cashion shot a hai-d grounder to
the infield and, on a fielder's choice, Graham
registered.
It was not until the sixth that the Pres-
byterians possessed another open chance at
the pot and they called the opportunity
when with a couple cemeteried, Booe lifted
a liigh one that fell unharmed in left field,
shortly thereafter stealing second. Cashion
brought him around with a sizzling double
to right that was inclined to travel to the
fence without molestation, the blow scoring
Booe with an abundance of ease.
F.\RMERS LOSE FAITH.
Things rocked along uniformly for the
Farmers for the first eight innings and with-
out a chance to score. They seemed to lose
faith in themselves and gain rcsjiect for
Cashion's curves when they had iia^si'd
through the seventh without a cliangc in iln'
balloting. Their efforts in the eiglith luokcil
like the last gasp of aggressive fighting, but
when Dunn went back in the ninth to catch
and evidenced the fact that he was inexperi-
enced and unused to Cashion's terrific s|ic(m1.
the boys of the other faction appeared tci
revive their drooping spirits. It was a
strange coincidence that in this inning when
the game was won and lost that Cashion
struck out three men, despite the fact that
four runs were scored.
THE TRA(;iC FINALE.
The bloody thing opened up with Hartsell
at the bat. His first slug to center had kept
the Davidson advocates ill at ease when he
approached the plate. There was exultation
when he whiffed at a trio. Robertson, the
fiendish slugger and star of the team, fanned
for his third time, but Dunn let tlic liall
get away from him and he was safe at fir.-.^! ,
That was Cashion's undoing. He proceeded
to hit Seifert and he then walked Ross. Not
content with wild manipulations, he forced
in a run by taking a shot at the earthly
tabernacle of Stafford and Tucker was sub-
stituted for Speer with the bases continuing
in the same mood and disposition sus many
of the voters on the day of the primaries
here last week. The utility hit a hot one to
Ciishion which was labeled a single and
Seifert raced home with the score that con-
gested traffic. Farmer fled to Kluttz on a
high one, but Patton, who had been substi-
tuted for Brown in the eighth, singled in
lovely fashion and scored a couple more.
It was a jiitiable story for the Presbyterians,
an inning of general rejoicing for the Farmers.
The curtain closed with victory and defeat
apparent in the faces of the friends of the
two teams that had watched the gladiatorial
struggle.

Gritty "Bucknell Defeated
A. & M.' Makes a Touchdown and a Goal in First Quarter
FARMERS SCORE SIX TO GOOSE-EGG
In the presenoo of 2,.')()0 interested ami
satisfied spectators yesterday afternoon at
the A & M Athletic Field," the A iV- M
eleven defeated the fast Bucknell University
eleven by the score of 6 to 0. The victory
was, to tell the truth, a bit of a surprise.
vSince the game of October 14, when the light
but highly trained V. M. I. team beat A & M
6 to 5 in what A ife M had looked forward to
as a nice little practice game, A ct M stock
had gone down sharply. But A & M
shares are up. While there were "stars"
yesterday for A & M. the whole team played
together very evenly and steadily, and also
with unexpected snap and steam. Philhps
was, according to the opinions of the experts,
the star of the game. But special mention
needs also to be made of some others — big
Floyd at center, Mclver, who played the
game through at right guard with one eye
closed and blind, and Anthony, who took
Harris' place in the first quarter at fullback
and played the jjosition like a veteran;
Seifert was also playing in his best manner,
and Cool won favorable comment by his
interference-running. Altogether, the team
of October 19 made the team of October 14
look like a bimch of scrubs.
The team which A & IM defeated yester-
flay had previously during the .season de-
feated tlu'ee teams: Lockhaven, September
28, 23 to 0; Lehigh University, October 6,
3 to 0; and Wyoming (Penn.sylvanial. on
October 14, 22 to 0. It is wortli noting that
Lehigh University, which Bucknell defeated
3 to 0, held Princeton la.st week to a tie,
6 to 6.
For the visitors, the stars were Schmidt
(center and captain), the two ends, Barthol-
omew and .lordan, and the fullback, "Tip"
Topham, who did some very effective kicking.
The team as a whole, though lighter than
A & M, was fast and fiery, and unusually
well balanced. A & M may have to meet
heavier teams this year, but is not likely
to meet one which plays football any harder.
THE FIRST (QUARTER.
The game was won in the first quarter.
After A * M kicked off, at 4;03 o'clock,
Bucknell tried at' ineffective .scrimmage and
then iiimt<'d. A ct M thereupon sent Cool
aroinul right end for three yiu'ds, Robertson
iiroimd left end for fifteen, and Cool through
the line for five yards. The next two ])lays
were better still. Harris, the 184-poimd
fullback, catapulted through the line for
ten yards, and Robertson followed on the
next down with a twenty-yard gain. After
one more scrimmage, which netted A & M
about two yards, a forward pass was tried,
and then another — the latter with the result
that Bucknell came into possession, about
twenty yards from the Pennsylvania goal.
When Bucknell started on the long road
to the A & M goal, it was with a gain of
three yards, another of six, and another of
enough to make the next scrimmage first
down — all of this by "straight football."
The ne.xt play by the Pennsylvanians was
a fifteen-yard run around riglit end — and
a fifteen-yard j^enalty for holding, which
lost the visitors all they had gained by a
beaut i f u 1 end-run. Shortly afterwards,
"Dutchy" Seifert and others broke up a
Bucknell right-end run with an eight-yard
loss on a first down. On the third down
with fourteen yards to go, Bucknell did the
obvious thing by punting.
Robertson received the punt, and went
ten yards before anybody found it possible
to stop him. And thereupon .\ & AI went
in to redeem all the glory lost at Lexington
last week. Seifert pronounced a general
benediction by slapping everybody, excejjt
the enemy, on the back. Then Anthony
was sent through the line for two yards.
An A & M fvnnble lost two yards on the
second down, but on the third down liuck-
nell was penalized five yards for off-side
play and A & M made downs. .\ it M
followed this uj) with a three-yard gain
through the line, a fumble most haiipily re-
covered, and then — a i)lay which made a
touchdown possil)le. A & M was (juite
evidently going to i)unt ; but instead of what
everybody expected, Robertson was sent
through a beautiful big lane in the Buck-
nell line — for which crcclit nuist he given
to the .\ & M right tackle and right guanl
and .some others — for a gain of thirty yards.
On the first down thereafter, Cool was sent
over the Buckuell aoid Vine, near the suulli-
west corner of the field. The ball was
puntwl out to Cool and Hvirtt kicked goal.
Score, 6 to 0 in favor of A & M. In the
remainder of the quarter, nothing more
notable happened than a penalty of fifteen
yai'ds assessed against A & M for holding.
In the second quarter A & M was in
very serious danger. A & M found it
necessary to punt three times, not with much
hope of getting the play into Pennsylvania
territorj-, but in oriler to save the Red and
White from imminent danger. Bueknell em-
ployed a cross-])lay, three punts and three
forward passes. Each side did some spec-
tacular fumbling, but the honors for both
fumbling and ground-gaining were with the
Peiuis\lvanians. ^\'hen the quarter ended
the ball was in A & M territory, about
twenty yards from the Carolina goal.
THE INTERIM AND THE ROOTERS.
As there were no sailors and no goats
present the A & M boys had to do their
stimt with a beribboned dog named Tige,
at the head of their procession. The Bat-
talion Band mai'ched over the field of com-
bat, with banners and martial music. The
impressario was Dick Mullen, and his baton
was a red and white paper parasol from the
Great State Fau-. After a concert of yells
and military music the Rooters' Club
dropped into convict file and marched through
the gate to mingle with the crowd.
THE THIRD QUARTER.
At the beginning of the .second half Hartsell
went in as left halfback, while Cool was
shifted to Robertson's position, Robertson
being now on the sidelines. But after a
few minutes Robertson was retiu'ned to his
old jiosition and HartseO, who is not now
in con<lition to play for long at a time, saw
the game from the outside.
The featiu'es of the quai-ter were a thirty-
yard run by Cool around right end, for
A & M, a magnificent twenty-yard run by
Seifert, who received a punt and came near
getting by with it, and a drop kick for goal
by Hurtt for A & M from the twenty-five
yard line. This drop kick came so near
succeeding that a considerable part of the
crowd thought A & M had scored three
more |)oints. But the score was still A &M,
0; Bueknell, 0.
THE FOURTH QIARTER.
The last quarter was not at all lacking in
interest. After a succession of indecisive
plays, A & M had to punt. When the
ball was finally downed, the Johnny on the
spot being the ubiquitous Phillips, it was
within a yard or so of the Bueknell goal. A
punt to A & M was of course necessary;
and fortunately for Bueknell, it was man-
aged well enough to take it some forty yards
up the field. The next critical moment
came when Bueknell tried an outside kick.
It was hard for anybody to keep up with all
thethings theball didin the next five seconds.
It acted like a will o' t he wisp, evading t he grasp
often enough to make five or six jxT.sons, or
the same persons often enough to make five
or six times. In any case, it cheerfully
frisked along to within twenty yards of the
A & M goal. Then Bueknell tried a for-
ward piuss, a trick which the Pennsylvanians
had been using with considerable success.
It was a situation which made everybody
sit up and take notice. The forward pass
failed, the ball falling into the possession of
the A & M left halfback. Cool, who froze
on to it for all he was worth. Time was called
before anj'thing more happened. When the
game ended, the ball was some ff)rty-five
yards from the A & M goal.
The Une-up and summary follow:
BrcKNELL — Bartholomew, right end; Dunkle, right
tackle: Teamer, right guard; Schmidt (captain), center;
Richardson, left guard; Hern, left tackle; Jordan, left

The Rid and JVhitc, '11- '12
This year the Red and White has changed hands, Ix'hig now edited l)y tlie
literary societies. Therefore it has ]:)een the object of the ecUtors to liave tiie
magazine more full in a literary sense. Of course, the technical side still pre-
dominates, inasmuch as the magazine represents a technical college, but the in-
tention has been to branch out more in the literary direction. We hope we have
done so. At the same time the departments have been ke]3t up as before and the
athletic department has been as full as, if not fuller than, before.
The critics have been uniformly kind to the lied and White this year, and we
hope that this shows that we have, at least partly, accomplished our object. There-
fore the editors of the magazine will take up their work next year with renewed
vigor, hoping to improve all the time until the magazine attains the end now only
a vision in the minds of the editors, when it will fully represent the college in all
its branches, and when it will also represent the students fully, and then it can
not help but be the standard of college magazines in the South.

The JVau Gaii Rat
Origin, Name, Purpose
Almost every eoUege or university of reasonahle iniportanee supports a weekly
newspaper or a daily. In the mind of one single man, last year, this faet was
making a strong impression. He thought that if other institutions were able to
have papers, A & M ought not to be left behind. There is due to this man alone
the existence of our present paper, the ll'aw Gau Rac. This was none other than
A. T. Bowler. His ideas were encouraged by H. P. Whitted and T. \\. Thorne,
who were then on the editorial staft' of the Rerl and White magazine. The jjroposi-
tion was put before the Athletic Association, advising that a weekly paper should
become its official organ. The proposal was accepted favoring the weekly news-
paper, for the first time in the history of the college.
Next came the question of name. Several were .suggested, but finally the
present name was decided upon, it being taken from the most popular college yell.
The purpose of the jiaper is to sum up the happenings around and in college
as they occur in the week, and to put them in printed form for the students and
alumni. It acts as a record in which are kept accounts of all athletic events from
time to time.

For You Just You
You said \vc would forget, dear heart;
That we'd say "Good-bye," and go ova- ways,
Leading us straying far apart;
And we'd have no memory of yesterdays —
'Twas easy, it seemed, the resolve to make;
'Twas hard, I grant, the resolve to keep,
For memory, soon or late, will wake
Keen as it was when it went to sleep.
1 thouglit I had triumphed. Your step, your face-
1 ilreamed 1 had put them behind. At last
Your image had lost its place —
Forgotten the hours of the tentler past.
But suddenly today, 'mid the hurrying throng,
The careless, joyous one lost to view.
Were whistled the notes of an old sweet song.
And straight I was crying for you — just you.
And it all came Ijack! How strange, how strange.
That no matter how hard we try and try,
A love once given, through stress and change
Lives on forever and will not die.
A face in the crowd, a voice half heard —
The poise of the head, or a well known strain —
A laugh, a jest, or subtle word.
And years of forgetting have been in vain
L. T., '13.

jfraternities^
Fraternity
The word fraternity is one, perhaps, that has as Ijroad a meaning as any word
in the language, and it is one that has been applicable to the relations of man since
time began.
As the word fraternity is here used it means the joining together of a number
of men, united l:)y common ideals and aspirations. Membership is not based,
as some have said, on the ability of a man to dress or to spend money. There
have been cases where men not members of fraternities may, perhaps, have had
some grounds for Ijelieving that a large pocketbook was the prime and only pre-
requisite for membership, but such has never been the case at A & M.
There has never been a line of demarcation between fraternity and non-
fraternity men at A & M until this year, and then only to a slight degree. This
is so because of the fact that some who are not fraternity men have gathered dis-
torted ideas from the policy pursued by some fraternities at other colleges. At
A & M the best of feeling has always existed between the two elements because
of the high character of the men who have been members of the several fraternities
represented here, and because of their spirit of fairness and manifest democracy.
Founded as they are upon the very highest principles, fraternities exert a
powerful influence on their members to bring out the best that is in them, both
during their college careers and in after life, and that their teachings are whole-
some and beneficial is evidenced by the phenomenal gro^vih of the college secret
orders since their introduction into American college life, and that they will con-
tinue to develop and expand is ])ut a natural result of an institution that has such
a large number of high mintled, influential men as its zealous supporters.

Alpha Zeta
NORTH CAROLINA CHAPTER
The Fratornit y of Alpha Zeta is designed to bring together those who are committed to higher
education in Agriculture. Its aim is to promote good scholarship, good fellowship, and good
citizenship. Its object, to induce through the strong tie of brotherly friendship and the stimulus
of science, a steady advance in the great art of Agriculture.
Since it was founded, at the Ohio State Univer.sity, January 10, 189S, the Fraternity of
Ali)ha Zeta has been a signal success. There are now twenty chapters in as many colleges and
universities of the country. The high standai'd of the Fraternity is manifested by the scores
of its members who, in State and Nation, are reflecting credit on Alpha Zeta in general. To
have been admitted to the Fraternity of Alpha Zeta is the greatest honor that a studeni of Agri-
culture can win while in college.
The North Carolina Chapter of Alpha Zeta was installed in the North CaroUna College
of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1903, and is the only chapter in any Southern institution.
The chapter is at present in every way a credit to the general fraternity. The members have
a high average in scholarship and are leaders in the various college activities.

The Battalion Cotillion Club
A new and very popular club has been formed in the college this year. This is
the Battahon Cotillion Club. It is practically under the management of the
Senior officers, and any drilhng member of the Battalion is eligible to
membership. One of the most attractive features of this organization
is the requirement that all the cadets must dance in full-dress
uniform. The students have shown a great interest in it
so far and next year, when it is on a firmer basis, the
club should prove to be one of the best organiza-
tions for social purposes on the " Hill."

Bi-Ag Society
The Bi-Ag Society is strictly an A & M product. It is unique both in name and home.
The Society was organized largely through the efforts of Dr. and Mrs. Stevens, and up until the
time they left, the meetings were held at their home. Now they are held altornaloly at the homes
of Professors Sherwin, Jeffrey, Roberts, Wilson, Pillsbury, and McNutt.
Active membership is limited to twelve, who are chosen from the Junior and Senior Classes,
for their scholarship and high character.
The object of the Bi-Ag Society is the development of high scholarship, morality, sociability,
and such attributes as go to the building up of a true man. There comes, from its atmosphere
of culture and refinement, a broader knowledge and an intensified interest in Agriculture. The
Society strives to develop a higher agricultural interest in North Carolina and the spirit of original
investigation is fostered. Its members are winning distinction in various parts of the country
as leaders in many Unes of both scientific research and practical demonstration.
It is the hope and desire of every member that the high standard of the Society will ever be
maintained, and that to be elected into the Society will always be the highest honor to be obtained
by an agricultural student in this college.

The Biological Club
The Biological Club is the largest Agricultural Student organization in college. Its meetings
are held on alternate Wednesday nights with its sister club, the Riu-al Science Club, in the Agri-
culture Hall. The purpose of the Club is to train men to master subjects and then to present
lliciii in an intelligent manner to an audience. The Club not only has general essay discussions,
tallis by members of the Faculty; but it also has three features of special interest.
First, Dr. F. L. Stevens gives five dollars as a prize to the one who scores the highest total
number of points in presenting the best discussions on agricultural subjects; second, the Club
offers a prize to the one who scores the highest in presenting personal ob.servations before the
Club; and third, the "Biological Club Reception" which is usually a success, due in a large measure
to the kind assistance rendered by the ladies in West Raleigh. The girls from the colleges of
Raleigh and a number of the city girls arc invited to the receptions, making these events worth
remembering.

The Mechanical Society
The Mechanical Society was organized in 1907, and is composed of Juniors and Seniors in
the course of Mechanical Engineering. It is for the purpose of giving these students practice in
preparing and delivering papers on live subjects in the mechanical world. It encourages original
research and reveals to the students the value of the technical articles that appear in various
magazines, to some of which the Society subscribes. Access to others may be had at the college
library. The Society also aims to develop the literary side of the mechanical students, which
side is generally neglected because the student fails to grasp the important part it plays in his
work.
Added interest is given to the Society in lectures, some of them illustrated, by professors
and prominent men from the college and from Raleigh. Professor Satterfield, the head of the
Mechanical Department, especially takes a great interest in the Society. He is an indefatigable
worker and his work is one of the main things that has made the Society the success it has
proved to be.

The Parable of the Strong Young Man
1. Xow it came to pass that to the wife of
John Henry, in the land of Farm, there wa,s
born a man child.
2. And the child grew uj) exceedingly
strong of body and swift of foot, so that there
was none who could compare with him.
3. And they called him Big-Bill, which
being interpreted meaneth "The Strong
Young Man."
4. Xow when Big-Bill grew up, his father
spake unto him saying:
5. Gird up thy loins, my son, and go thee
to the land of Wake, even to the college of
Agriculture which is in West Raleigh, and
there acquire knowledge .so that thou mayest
till the ground with wisdom, and reap har-
vests in abundance, and enjoy the fulne.ss of
the earth.
6. And the Strong Young Man did as his
father had commanded, and entered the col-
lege even as a freshman.
7. And lo! the Strong Young Man learned
many things, not the least of which was to
kick the skin of a pig with mighty force so
that his fame went abroad throughout the
land.
S. Xow it came to pass that each year
eleven chosen men went forth from the land
of Fruit to do battle with eleven strong men
from the land of the Virginianites.
9. But on the day of the feast of Thanks-
giving the eleven from the Xorth overcame
them and smote them hip and thigh.
10. And the ruler of that land was sorely
giieved and refused to be comforted.
11. But one of the king's wise men, of the
tribe of High-Brows, spake unto him saying:
12. What profiteth it us. Oh! lung, to
possess gray matter if we use it not to con-
fuse our enemies? Lo! I have a scheme.
13. And the king was wroth, and answered
him saying: Go bust thyself, thou and thy
scheme, and come not into my presence
again until thou canst deUver the goods.
14. Then the wise man departed and joiu--
neyed to the land of Wake, and sought out
the Strong Young Man, and spake unto
him the.se words:
1.5. Verily, our enemies prevail against us
and there is no help for us; come thou and
do battle by our side, that we may for once
rejoice in our hearts and shout the song of
victory, and that our women may sing in
gladn&ss.
16. But Big-Bill, the son of John Henry,
answered him, "X^'ay! not! nit! no."
17. \m\ the High-Brow went away sorrow-
fully.
18. But that night while he slept, he
dreamed a dream, even a vision of inspira-
tion; and early on the morrow he went unto
the Strong Young Man and saith unto him:
19. Know thou that at Podunk, at the
celebration of the foiu-th day of the month
of July, there wiU be held a canine contest
in which two lowly curs will do battle against
each other. Referee thou this dog fight and
I will give thee gold, much fine gold, that
thou mayest go to the land of Fruit for
wisdom, and there play the game of footbaO,
even as an amateur.
20. But Big-BiU answered him, saying:
Verily I know not the regulations governing
such a battle. Am I acquainted with the
Marquis of Queensbury's rules? Or have I
ever attended a suffragette meeting?
21. Then the wise man answered: In
truth thou speaketh fooUshlj' and without
reason. Can a dog reproach thee for un-
247
fairness, or a dead mongrel bito thy sliank
for a yellow decision?
22. Then Big-Bill, the son of John Henry,
spoke unto the High-Brow, saying: Lo! 1
am with thee even to the end of the foot-
ball season.
23. Then did he forget the words of his
parents, and follow after strange gods whom
liis fathers wot not of.
24. And he went up into the land of Fruit
and did many deeds of valor; and all the
peojjle round about spoke of him with one
voice saying: Great is Big-Bill, the .«on of
John Henry.
2.J. Xow there was another yovmg man who
strove mightily to make the team; but as
he had never refereed a dog fight, he made
the team — not. And verily to this day he
knoweth not that he rubbed against a shell
game.
20. Now it came to pass that the courage
of the men from the land of Fruit waxed
great. .\nd they again went forth against
tlieir enemies from the North.
27. But wlien the battle began, the \'ir-
ginianites tusIkhI violently over them and
overthiew tlicm and tramjiled tliem in the
dust.
28. .\nd as tliey returned to their own
tents sore and bruised, wicked children
gathei-ed together and mocked them, crying
"Tee, hee, verily the land of Orange produces
lemons."
29. And Big-Bill lifted ui) his eyes and
looked towards the sea, even towards the
cit_v where great ships lie at anclior.
30. ,Vnd he Ix'held the .sky a lurid red even
as the town itself was painted.
31. And when he heiu-d a dee]) sound
coming therefrom, like unto the roaring of
many bulls, he knew that his fdrmer country-
men had taken anotlier city.
32. .\nd he sat liim.'^clf upon the ground
and wept bitterly.

The Honor System
The honor system is an institution in college life, the possession of which places a college
on the very highest plane, and is a very valuable distinguishing mark between the college with
the system and the college that is without its benefits. It is unquestionably the institution in
a man's college life which, supported by the students, ha-s the most far reaching influence on their
hves after they leave the walls of their Alma iSIater. There is no alumnus but who feels a higher
regard for his fii'st love when he knows that the students of his old college are supporting an in-
stitution which means so much to each individual student during and after his college days.
The honor system at A & M is yet in its infancy, being but one year old, but it has already
shown that it is an infant with the greatest possibilities, and is steadily gaining the earnest sup-
port of the students who realize its power to bring out all that is best in a man and to keep him
in the right path.

DYNAMITE
Ordinary plowing turns over the same sliallow top-soil year
after year, forming a hard and nearly impervious "plow sole"
that limits the waterholding capacity of the land and shuts out
tons per acre of natural plant food.
Dynamiting the subsoil makes this plant food available, aerates
the soil, protects vegetation against both drouth and excess rain-
fall, and soon repa>'s its cost in saving of fertilizer expense
and largely increased yields.
