HISTORY    OF    MARYVILLE    COLLEGE 


JU\  ARYVILLE  COLLEGE  was  founded  in  1819.  In  the 
'  *  fall  of  that  year  Rev.  Isaac  Anderson,  D.D.,  gathered 
a  class  of  five,  and  the  work  of  educating  at  Maryville  was 
fairly  begun. 

The  genesis  of  Maryville  College  was  the  demands  of  the 
community  realized.  The  demands  of  the  Scotch-Irish  com- 
munity was  for  a  school  where  men  native  to  the  soil  might 
be  educated  for  the  ministry.  In  the  spirit  of  prayer  Dr. 
Anderson  commenced  the  educating  of  such  men.  In  the 
spirit  of  prayer  the  work  has  gone  on  —  educating  men  and 
women  to  the  higher  life,  to  the  higher  duty,  which  is  the 
ministry  unto  the  world. 

For  forty-two  years  the  work  went  on.  One  hundred 
and  fifty  men  were  made  ministers  of  the  gospel,  and  an 
endowment  of  sixteen  thousand  dollars  was  gathered  together 
and  fifty  men  were  made  ministers  of  the  gospel,  and  an  en- 

(4) 


dowment  of  sixteen  thousand  dollars  was  gathered  together 
little  by  little.  Then  came  the  Civil  War,  and  for  five  years 
the  work  of  the  institution  was  suspended,  and  the  institution 
itself  was  threatened  with  complete  destruction. 

When  the  war  was  at  last  ended,  the  Synod  of  Tennessee 
resolved  to  revive  Maryville  College.  Sixty-five  thousand 
dollars  were  secured  at  once.  In  1881  one  hundred  thou- 
sand dollars  were  contributed  as  an  endowment  by  a  few 
loyal  friends  —  William  Thaw.  William  E.  Dodge,  Pre- 
served Smith,  Dr.  Sylvester  Willard,  and  others.  In  1891 
Daniel  Fayerweather  bequeathed  to  the  College  the  sum  of 
one  hundred  thousand  dollars.  The  College  was  also  made 
one  of  twenty  participants  in  the  residuary  estate,  and  has 
received  the  greater  part  of  the  two  hundred  and  fifty  thou- 
sand dollars  to  which  it  is  entitled  by  the  provisions  of  the 
will.     On  January  i,   1905,  Mr.  Ralph  Voorhees,  of  New 


Jersey,  made  a  donation  to  the  general  endowment  fund  of 
one  hundred  thousand  dollars  in  the  form  of  a  five  per  cent, 
annuity. 

Of  the  post-bellum  Alumni,  one  hundred  and  fifty  have 
entered  the  ministry,  while  thirty-two  have  been  or  are 
missionaries  in  foreign  fields.  Maryville's  graduates  have 
usually  attained  success  in  their  chosen  vocations,  and  those 
vocations  have  always  been  of  an  elevated  and  honorary 
nature. 

Of  Maryville  itself  much  could  be  said.  A  town  of  three 
thousand  inhabitants,  it  lies  on  the  hills,  nine  hundred  and 


thirty  feet  above  the  level  of  the  sea,  and  from  the  breezes 
of  the  Chilhowees  and  the  Smokies  come  life  and  health.  It 
is  an  ideal  college  town  —  a  town  of  schools  and  churches, 
secluded  from  the  distracting  influences  of  the  outside  world, 
yet  in  easy  proximity  to  Knoxville,  the  metropolis  of  East 
Tennessee.  As  Maryville  College  has  prospered  in  days 
gone  by,  so  she  must  prosper  in  days  to  come,  for  the  spirit 
in  which  Dr.  Anderson  founded  the  College  is  still  the  spirit 
of  the  institution,  and  from  such  a  spirit  come  ever  blessings, 
prosperity  and  success.

(10) 


PRESIDENT    WILSON

*^  Syria,  February  17,  1858.  He  is  the  son  of  Rev.  David 
M.  and  Emeline  Wilson.  His  early  education  was  received 
under  the  direct  instruction  of  his  father.  Later  he  entered 
Maryville  College,  where  he  was  graduated  with  the  Class 
of  '78.  He  received  his  A.i\I.  degree  from  the  same  insti- 
tution, and  later  was  given  the  honorary  degree  of  Doctor 
of  Divinity.  After  graduating  from  Maryville  he  studied 
theology  at  the  Lane  Seminary,  of  Cincinnati. 

From  the  date  of  his  ordination  until  1884  he  was  a  mis- 
sionary in  Mexico,  serving  for  two  years  as  instructor  in  a 
theological  seminary  at  Mexico  City. 

On  account  of  failing  health  he  returned  to  the  United 


States  in  1884,  and  was  made  Professor  of  English-  Lan- 
guage and  Literature  at  Maryville  College,  in  which  capacity 
he  served  until  1901,  when  he  was  elected  President  of  the 
College. 

Dr.  Wilson  has  been  Stated  Clerk  of  the  Synod  of  Ten- 
nessee for  a  number  of  years.  He  has  published  several 
pamphlets  on  historical  subjects,  and  is  a  member  of  the 
Presbyterian  Historical  Society. 

Dr.  Wilson  has  lived  a  useful  and  varied  life.  He  is  a 
cosmopolitan,  and  thoroughly  in  accord  with  the  ways  of 
man.    He  is  a  universal  sympathizer  and  a  profound  scholar. 

No  man  could  be  better  qualified  to  serve  as  President  of 
Maryville  College.

REV.   E.   B.   WALLER,   A.M. 


CLMER  BRITTON  WALLER,  Dean  of  Maryville  Col- 
lege, was  born  at  Walden,  N.  Y.  He  was  educated  at 
LTnion  College,  New  York,  where  he  received  his  A.B.  degree 
in  1882  and  his  A.M.  in  1894.  He  studied  theolog}'  at 
Princeton  Theological  Seminary,  where  he  graduated  in

Presbytery  of  Geneva.    On  August  31,  1887,  he  was  ordained 


by  Holston  Presbytery.  Professor  \\^aller  has  been  pastor

Principal  of  the  Davies  Academy.

Maryville  College,  and  still  serves  in  that  capacity.  He  was 
made  Dean  of  the  College  proper  at  the  beginning  of  the 
fall  term  of  1905.

SALUTATION 


HE  Class  of  1906,  in  bringing  out  this  issue 
of  The  Chilhowean,  are  not  unconscious 
of  the  import  of  the  undertaking. 

They  full  well  realize  that  never  before 

has  an  annual  been  published  in  Maryville ; 

that  they  have  taken   the   initiative  in  this 

line  of  work ;  that  consequently  they  must  build  well,  so  that 

succeeding  years  may  find  this  copy  a  model  to  be  followed, 

and  not  to  be  scorned. 

Then  commingled  with  their  zeal  and  enthusiasm  as 
launchers  of  The  Chilhowean  is  the  fear  that  the  time  is 
not  yet  for  such  a  volume ;  that  the  needs  of  the  College  do 
not  demand  it;  that  the  tide  in  the  affairs  of  men  is  still 
distant. 

But  there  are  evidences  that  the  tide  has  arrived,  and 
they  have  relied  upon  these  evidences  as  proofs  of  the  future 
success  of  this  volume. 

Briefly  stated,  these  proofs  are  as  follows : 


Maryville  College  has  enrolled  this  year  its  maximum 
number  of  students ;  Athletics  have  been  more  prominent 
this  year  than  ever  before ;  College  spirit  and  class  rivalry 
have  been  a  marked  feature ;  the  Literary  Societies  have 
done  enthusiastic,  solid  work ;  and  the  work  of  all  organiza- 
tions, both  religious  and  secular,  has  shown  an  activity  even 
above  the  Maryville  standard. 

This  ascendency  in  the  plane  of  the  Maryville  College  life 
has  for  its  resultant  feature  this  issue  of  The  Chilhowean. 

The  Class  of  1906  commends  it  to  you  who  may  read  — 
and  if  in  reading  you  may  chance  upon  some  personal 
account  or  story,  you  are  not  to  judge  it  in  the  spirit  of 
malice,  but  in  the  spirit  of  college  life,  as  it  is  written. 

Finally,  the  Class  of  1906  has  delegated  to  us,  the  editors, 
the  planning  and  writing  of  this  work. 

Our  work  is  finished  —  you  may  judge  how  well.  But 
you  will  be  lenient  to  us.

HISTORY    OF    THE    SENIOR    CLASS 


CEPTEMBER  2d,  1902,  was  a  memorable  day.  That 
'^  morning  in  chapel  Prexy  looked  serious ;  Dean  Waller, 
having  bisected  the  campus  at  an  angle  of  60*^  with  the  stile, 
rubbed  his  nose  more  vigorously  than  he  had  been  known 


to  do  for  five  years ;  the  matrons  fumbled  the  demerit  book 
uneasily,  as  if  fearing  there  was  not  space  enough  between 
the  two  covers  for  all  it  might  be  called  upon  to  record 
during  the  next  four  years  :  the  management  of  the  board- 
ing club  had  held  three  consultations  since  sunrise ;  a  slen- 
der, learned  professor,  muttering  in  Greek,  "  O  Zeus  and 
Apollo  and  all  ye  Olympian  gods,  ward  off  from  us  this 
savage  horde  from  the  barbarian  land !'"  strode  despairingly 
up  the  first  flight  in  Anderson,  while  the  blue  grass  was  still 
waving  in  his  wake  all  the  wa_\'  from  the  foot  of  the  campus 
to  the  College.  In  his  preoccupation  he  ran  into  Miss  Ken- 
nedy, bearing  a  colony  of  paramecia  in  one  hand,  a  lens  in 
the  other,  ever  on  the  lookout  for  new  specimens. 

The  cause  of  all  this  unwonted  disturbance  on  the  part 
of  the  Faculty  comes  pouring  up  both  stairways,  with  three 
layers  of  red  clay  on  the  boots  fresh  from  turnip  patches  and 
fields  of  russet  pumpkins ;  holding  between  their  elbows  and 
ribs  copies  of  Webster's  dictionary,  and,  as  in  the  grip  of 
death.  Prep,  diplomas,  or  certificates  of  moral  character. 
In  the  hall  a  serious  fellow,  with  an  H2SO4  countenance, 
attracts  the  attention  of  a  science  professor,  and  at  once  her 

(47) 


lens  is  brought  to  bear  upon  his  back,  for  she  finds  there 
several  rare  varieties  of  mosses  and  lichens,  and  to  herself 
she  ejaculates:  "These  Funaria  hygromctrica  and  Cladonia 
cristatelia  are  beauties ;  they  must  have  come  from  the 
North." 

One  slender,  cadaverous-faced,  hollow-eyed,  but  win- 
some-smiling youth,  with  tufts  of  Florida's  cotton  here  and 
there  on  the  back  of  a  Sunday  coat,  recognizing  the  face 
of  the  President  (he  had  read  the  catalogue  as  his  Bible), 
stops  at  the  platform,  and,  pushing  his  collar  below  the 
blushing  face  with  one  hand,  gripping  a  coat  lapel  with  the 
other,  pants  out:  "  Mister  Wilson,  is  this  the  chapel?"  Just 
then  a  broad-shouldered,  brown-eyed,  meek  boy,  fresh  from 
Prepdom  and  still  in  knee  pants  (let  no  one  blame  the  Class 
of  '06  for  this  member ) ,  took  him  by  the  arm  and  gently 
seated  him  in  Freshman  row. 

Too  much  overawed  for  words,  the  girls  sat  huddled 
together,  their  faces  marked  with  the  tears  of  recent  fare- 
w^ells,  bv  tired  lines  from  a  fifty-mile  ride  on  some  fleet  mule 
or  bv  seams  of  coal  soot  from  the  Cumberland's  twenty- 
seven  tunnels,  wondering  anxiously  "  why  they  did  not  give 
out  the  lessons,"  and  apprehensively  thinking  of  the  five  hvm- 
dred  and  ninety-seven  rules  tacked  on  their  doors  at  Bald- 
win, and  read  to  them  that  morning  after  breakfast.  Some 
few  seemed  to  feel  at  home :  perhaps  they  had  been  Preps. 
in  Maryville  College,  and  were  not  unacquainted  with  their 
surroundings.     One,  a  Buckeye,  was  taking  names  for  the 

(48) 


Y.  W.  C.  A. ;  another,  a  fair-haired,  sweet-faced  girl,  with 
bright  smiles  and  reassuring  words,  was  giving  information 
to  a  curly-haired  little  Freshman,  who  thought  she  had  to 
register  every  day;  and  a  third,  just  a  tiny  girl,  with  the  air 
of  one  who  had  been  in  the  place  for  ages,  and  who  knew 
all  about  everything,  was  nodding,  gesticulating  and  talking 
till  her  eyes  were  shut,  explaining  to  the  "new  girls"  the 
mysteries  of  Snap  and  Moonshine,  and  the  superior  virtues 
of  her  literary  society. 

Conspicuous  among  all  this  throng  is  one  who,  fresh 
from  a  Philadelphia  Pullman,  in  white  vest  and  broadcloth, 
seems  at  a  loss  as  to  where  he  shall  place  his  cane  and  silk 
hat,  but  he  finally  seats  himself  beside  Dr.  Barnes,  and  is 
content. 

But  services  were  beginning.  The  choir  was  leading, 
"  From  Greenland's  icy  mountains,  from  Afric's  sunny 
shores,"  and  when  the  Amen  was  dying  away.  Dr.  Wilson 
rose  to  read,  "  From  highways  and  hedges,  from  lanes  and 
hvways  they  are  called,  but  still  there  is  room."  Could  there 
be  more?  Yes,  one  more  (he  afterward  proved  to  be  the 
Beelzebub  of  the  Class),  who,  after  smoothing  down  his  few 
hairs  with  a  comb  which  he  concealed  under  his  coat,  slipped 
into  a  seat  near  the  door. 

That  was  the  beginning.  Gradually  they  improved,  but 
in  the  most  conservative  way.  It  is  said  that  twice  during 
the  Freshman  year  Hope  blackened  his  shoes,  but  this  is  not 
authentic. 


The  second  year,  when  patent  leathers  and  white  vests 
were  beginning  to  be  recognized,  Weary  WilHe  West  walked 
over  from  Washington  College,  with  his  carpet-bag,  expect- 
ing to  join  the  Junior  Class,  but  the  Sophs,  needed  a  good 
tenor,  so  they  had  him  enrolled  '06.  From  the  same  seat  of 
learning  another  Soph,  was  welcomed  as  a  member  of  the 
Class  of  '06.  On  the  train  she  met  a  sister  classmate,  and  in 
that  short  three  hours  from  Knoxville  to  Maryville  she  had 
learned  all  about  the  splendors  of  the  Northern  city,  which 
has  a  population  of  .000063,  of  the  fine  school  system  of  the 
North,  of  the  superiority  of  the  Ohio  River  over  the  Ten- 
nessee, of  the  fondness  of  the  Buckeyes  for  Buiiyan's  Pil- 
grim's Progress,  and  that*  this  new  student's  specialty  was 
mathematics. 

Months  rolled  on,  and  the  kleptomaniac  tendencies  which 
long  had  been  suspected  began  to  crop  out ;  little  things  were 
missed  around  the  College  —  little  black  things,  decorated 
with  garnet  '07's ;  even  Sophs,  were  appropriated  one  by 
one.  The  Juniors  needed  football  men.  so  they  got  Taylor 
and  Beeler ;  they  wanted  quality,  so  they  took  in  Homer 
Mitchell  Noble  and  Hugh  Souder ;  but.  at  the  beginning  of 
the  second  semester  they  were  brought  to  see  their  acts  in 
the  light  of  stern  retribution  and  to  mend  the  errors  of  their 
ways.  Armed  with  credentials  from  the  office,  a  Puritanic 
Sophomore  of  stately  mien,  frowning  upon  levity,  looking 
severely  down  over  her  long  nose,  walked  into  a  Junior  class 
meeting.    Waiting  for  no  acknowledgment,  she  entered  into 


full  membership  at  once,  and  used  her  voice  to  vote  down 
every  measure  that  might  savor  of  unjustifiable  frivolity, 
class  strife  or  unconservative  innovations. 

At  this  point  honesty  and  truthfulness  demand  that  a 
record  be  made  of  the  one  dark  blot  on  the  pages  of  these 
annals.  Who  can  tell  what  spirit  possessed,  who  can  reveal 
what  evil  genius  entered  into  the  innocent,  unsophisticated 
minds  of  the  very  pillars  of  the  Class  —  the  bone  and  sinew 
of  all  that  is  honored  in  the  College  —  as  to  instigate  them 
to  call  down  upon  the  fair  '06  the  awful  reproach  of  a  dire 
deed  done  in  the  dead  of  night,  while  their  fellow  classmates 
were  wrapped  in  innocent  and  unsuspecting  slumber?  But 
why  delineate  the  harrowing  details?  The  crime  has  been 
expiated ;  the  silver  has  been  returned  to  the  dining  room ; 
and,  after  due  repentance  and  adequate  reparation,  the  three 
delinquents,  Lou  Fenton  Johnston,  Mayme  Bell  Malcom  and 
Flora  Blanche  Weisgerber,  have  been  reinstated  in  the  con- 
fidence of  the  Faculty,  and  the  lenient  and  forbearing  Juniors, 
who  have  learned  that  "to  err  is  human,"  received  the  prodi- 
gals into  fellowship  once  more,  the  past  having  been  for- 
gotten. The  cloud  dissipated,  and  the  Junior  year  closed 
brightly,  with  members  of  tlie  Class  taking  first  prizes  in 
both  oratorical  contests. 

Slow]"     Oh,  no! 
Who  says  so? 

Nineteen  six ! !

There  was  disappointment  in  the  hearts  of  the  Seniors 
the  first  of  September,  1905,  for  Grandpa  had  not  returned; 
all  the  other  members  of  the  Class,  however,  were  back, 
planning  class  picnics,  corn-eats,  'possum  hunts,  and  other 
out-of-door  affairs  for  the  first  semester.  Dignity  was  given 
to  the  Class  by  the  addition  of  a  new  member  from  Hanover, 
by  the  wife  of  one  of  the  professors,  by  the  tall  man  from 


Pennsylvania,  whose  specialty  is  history,  and  at  Thanks- 
giving by  an  Alumna  of  the  American  University,  thus 
rounding  out  the  goodly  number,  and  the  personality  of  the 
wisest,  brightest  and  meanest  Class  in  Maryville  College 
Commencement  day  approaches.  Have  compassion  upon 
an  innocent  and  defenseless  world  when  all  these  are  let  loose 
upon  it !

HISTORY    OF    THE    JUNIOR    CLASS 


"T^HE  September  sun  had  not  risen  and  set  many  times 
until  the  slumbering  echoes  about  the  buildings  on  Col- 
lege Hill  were  awakened  and  set  vibrating  by  the  jollv, 
musical  clang  of  the  old  college  bell  from  the  cupola,  rung 
by  the  hand  of  a  jolly  Junior.  At  the  sound  the  stately 
cedars  marshalled  over  the  campus  seemed  to  shake  them- 
selves and  arouse  frorn  their  long  sunmier's  sleep,  lulled  in 
the  quiet  breezes  of  vacation  time.  The  bell,  rung  by  the 
sturdy  arm  of  the  Junior,  tolled  the  knell  of  departing  vaca- 
tion, and  announced  the  beginning  of  books  and  study.  The 
summons  sounded  from  State  to  State,  until  the  quiet  Hill 
was  transformed  to  a  teeming  center  of  hustle  and  bustle, 
and  the  footfalls  of  the  returning  students  seemed  to  reecho 
with  the  "  Rah,  rah,  rah,  rah !"  of  the  strenuous  Junior  yell. 
Among  the  gathering  throng  of  students,  conspicuous  for 
their  buoyant  spirits,  their  beaming  countenances  and  ring- 
ing laughter,  were  the  Juniors  —  the  delight  of  the  Faculty, 
(58) 


the  inspiration  and  admiration  of  the  Freshmen,  the  jealousy 
of  the  Sophomores,  and  the  grave,  quietly  dignified  tolerance 
of  the  stately  Seniors, —  the  joy,  the  life  and  spirits  of 
College  Hill. 

The  Senior,  seated  in  his  room,  bending  over  his  books, 
with  his  student  lamp  alight  burning  the  midnight  Rocke- 
feller, furrows  his  thoughtful  brow  with  a  scowl,  and  bends 
still  lower  over  his  book,  as  the  sound  of  the  banjo's  musical 
tones  and  the  hearty  peals  of  rollicking  laughter  echo  up  to 
his  room  through  the  deserted  corridors.  It  seems  to  him 
that  all  Juniors  should  be  compared  to  the  noisy  crickets, 
with  naught  apparently  to  do  but  to  frolic  all  the  day  long. 
He  wonders  when  they  ever  study,  when  they  are  ever 
serious.  But  not  for  long  does  he  wonder,  for  his  engross- 
ing study  calls  him,  and,  like  the  industrious  ant,  he  applies 
himself  to  toil. 

One  beautiful  night,  just  before  the  examinations  pre- 


ceding  the  spring  term,  according  to  their  nature,  a  party 
of  '07's  were  making  merry.  The  night  was  balmv,  and 
the  moonbeams  filtered  down  through  the  cedars  and  made 
crazy-work  patterns  on  the  ground,  while  the  stars  and  the 
arc  Hghts  on  the  campus  were  ahke  ech])sed  by  its  soft  silver 
radiance.  One  of  the  party  in  question  was  seated  in  the 
window  executing  — 

"  Rig-a-jig,  jig,  and  away  we  go, 
Awa_\'  we  go,  away  we  go. 
Rig-a-jig,  jig,  and  away  we  go. 
Heigho,  heigho,  heigho!" 

with  characteristic  fluency,  while  his  comrades  joined  him  in 
song  as  they  jigged  about  the  floor.  Some  Sophomores, 
actuated,  of  course,  by  feelings  of  jealousy  and  a  chilling 
that  they  were,  as  usual,  being  left  out  in  the  cold,  with  no 
part  in  this  hilarity,  stole  forth  into  the  night  and  took  up 
their  position  beneath  the  window.  One  of  them  pointed  a 
shotgun  into  the  air  at  a  harmless  angle,  and  at  a  signal 
pulled  the  trigger.  Simultaneously  with  the  report  one  of 
the  Sophomores  in  the  party  threw  a  generous  handful  of 


shot  over  the  oblivious  musician  in  the  window.  Naturallv 
th.e  revelry  in  the  Juniors'  room  was  somewhat  interrupted, 
and  the  jigging  stopped  on  account  of  the  temporarv  cessa- 
tion of  the  music.  Being  convinced  by  his  solicitous  com- 
panions that  he  was  really  not  dead,  and  that  his  feelings 
and  not  his  anatomy  were  what  was  hurt,  the  minstrel  began 
once  more  to  play,  "  Mid  shot  and  shell,"  and  the  fun 
continued  with  unabated  zeal. 

.\s  the  nights  grow  balmier  with  the  advent  of  spring, 
the  serenaders  sing  to  the  Junior  girls.  None  there  are  that 
are  worthier  of  such  praise.  With  their  "  curly  eyes  and 
laughing  hair,"  they  inspire  the  admiring  swains  to.  sing 
their  best  songs,  accompanied  by  the  sweetest  strains  of 
which  their  melodious  guitars  are  capable. 

As  Commencement  draws  on  apace,  the  davs  of  the 
Junior,  with  his  jollity,  are  numbered,  and  he  sings  with  a 
touch  of  incongruous  gravity  : 

"Where,  oh.  where  are  the  jolly  Juniors? 
Safe  now  in  the  Senior  Class. 
They've  gone  out  from  Jevon's  logic. 
Safe  now  in  the  Senior  Class."

HISTORY    OF    THE    CLASS    OF    '08 


T\0  YOU  remember  that  day  in  the  first  week  of  Septem- 
ber,  1904,  when  the  church  bells  rang,  factory  whistles 
blew,  and  everything  that  could  make  a  noise  did  so  in  a 
manner  that  put  Dewey's  triumphal  return  to  New  York 
City  far  in  the  shade  'f  Yes,  dearly  beloved,  you  can  not 
help  but  remember.  They  knew  what  that  noise  meant 
from  Kennebunkport  to  El  Paso,  and  from  the  Everglades 
to  Puget  Sound  —  it  was  the  Class  of  1908  making  its  entry 
into  Maryville  College. 

The}'  were  a  goodly  band,  thirty-seven  in  number,  and 
proceeded  to  do  things  up  in  royal  stvle,  to-wit : 

The  Reign  oe  Queen  Minnie  I. 

This  epoch  of  classical  history  is  the  most  important  to 
Maryville  College.  Early  after  the  accession  of  the  Queen, 
( 62 ) 


she  delegated  Dr.  Wilson  to  go  North  and  hold  up  Mr. 
Voorhees  for  $100,000  tribute. 

During  the  second  division  of  this  epoch  one  great 
struggle  occurred,  in  which  we  lost  several  of  our  mem- 
bers to  the  allied  enemy.  Dean  Waller  and  Trig.  We  have 
forgiven  the  Trig.,  but  not  the  Dean. 

The  third  division  of  this  epoch  was  marked  bv  a  slight 
disturbance  with  the  Sophomores,  who  were  vanquished  and 
put  to  bed  with  ease.     NufT  sed. 

The  Reign  of  King  Ed.  T. 

Nineteen  of  em  came  back  to  see  that  chapel  get  started, 
and  had  the  roof  put  on  during  the  first  one-third  of  the 
epoch.  But  the  first  morning  we  arrived  and  stood  in  a  body 
in  front  of  old  Anderson,  looking  at  our  chapel,  we  heard 


something    making   a    peculiar    noise.      This    noise,    dearlv 
beloved,  was  like  a  snowflake.     As  Tennyson  puts  it : 

"  We  saw  a  thing  of  Greenish  Hue, 

And  thought  it  was  a  lawn  of  grass ; 
But  as  to  it  we  nearer  drew, 

We  found  it  was  the  Freshman  Class," 

and  took  mercy  on  them,  permitting  them  to  enter  the  mas- 
sive portals  of  learning  at  Maryville  College  unmolested. 
The  second  division  of  the  Second  Epoch ;  In  conven- 
tion assembled  it  was  ordained,  and  His  Majesty  Ed.  issued 
a  mandate  compelling  all  Freshmen  to  wear  little  blue  skull 


caps  as  a  mark  of  their  insignificance.  Thev  were  severely 
chided  by  Prexy  Wilson  for  attempting  to  place  their  measly 
banner  over  Lamar  Library  the  morning  onl}-  four  of  our 
valiant  band  were  left  in  town. 

Then  followed  the  last  division,  just  finished  —  so  is  the 
chapel.  A  serious  task  came  up  for  us  to  perform  —  we 
needed  Coach  Chadwick  here  for  baseball,  and  Nelle  Ruth 
did  the  job  up  fine.  We  gave  the  'Varsity  baseball  team  a 
captain ;  the  basket-ball  was  commanded  by  one  of  our  num- 
ber, too.  We  furnished  the  'Varsity  football  manager  for 
next  year,  and  are  ready,  dearly  beloved,  to  serve  our  Alma 
Mater  for  the  next  two  years  in  the  same  old  stvle  at  all 
hours.

HISTORY    OF   THE    CLASS    OF    '09 


T^HE  first  part  of  this  history  is  awfully  simple  and  the 
rest  of  it  is  simply  awful.     Nevertheless,  it  is  no  more 
so,  than  that  it  is  also. 

The  Class  of  '08  has  been  heard  to  relate  experiences 
in  a  manner  which  would  put  the  silver-tongued  Nestor  to 
shame  if  that  gentleman's  shade  were  to  be  seen  emerging 
from  Pluto's  realm ;  but  we  beg  of  you  who  believe  history 
to  be  founded  upon  facts  rather  than  eloquence,  to  hear  us. 

We,  the  Freshman  Class  of  1909,  did  Maryville  College 
a  noble  and  generous  deed  —  a  deed  for  which  we  will 
never  be  ashamed ;  a  deed  for  which  the  entire  Faculty  has 
extended  the  right  hand  of  appreciation. 

On  the  fifth  day  of  September,  over  fifty  strong  we  en- 
tered the  portals  of  Maryville  College.    Was  not  this  indeed 
a  philanthropic  deed?    This  has  spread  the  name  and  fame 
of  our  Alma  Mater. 
(70) 


We  are  a  useful  Class,  and  our  importance  in  this  world's 
affairs  has  had  no  inclination  to  "  turn  our  heads,"  as  has 
been  the  fate  of  many  a  Class  that  has  gone  before  us  (the 
'08,  for  instance).  Rather  with  us  it  has  been  to  the  con- 
trary. We  have  realized  our  usefulness,  and  have  sought  to 
improve  it. 

To  us  has  been  allotted  the  honor  of  doing  the  most  deli- 
cate of  all  delicate  work,  namely,  missionary  work.  If  3'ou 
were  familiar  with  the  condition  of  Maryville  College  life  of 
this  present  year,  it  would  then  be  useless  to  name  the  Class 
that  was  the  recipient  of  our  missionary  labor ;  for  were  you 
here,  vou  could  not  help  but  notice  the  great  change  that  has 
been  wrought  upon  that  little  band,  the  Sophomore  Class. 
They  have  been  given  up  as  a  hopeless  case  by  our  setting 
a  brilliant  example.  We  have  aroused  their  sluggish  con- 
science, and  they  are  absorbing,  or  are  trying  to  absorb. 


as  much  of  our  spirit  as  their  weak  vitality  can  grasp. 
Although  they  can  never  attain  the  degree  of  excellency  to 
which  we  have  mounted,  3'et  we  hope  to  see  them  coming 
up  to  what  might  be  termed  a  respectful  distance.  We  are 
the  Class  that  sets  the  pace.  We  are  the  salt  of  the  earth. 
Some  of  us  are  the  sugar.  (By  the  way,  the  Freshman  girls 
will  take  the  prize  for  sweetness!)  The  Freshman  Class  is 
the  artery  through  which  flows  the  life-blood  of  the  College. 

We  are  true  wonders.  Our  original  and  fluent  transla- 
tions of  Livy  have  brought  tears  to  the  eyes  of  our  instructor, 
Professor  Bassett,  and  our  mathematical  work  has  been  of 
such  a  quantity  and  quality  that  Professor  Waller  many 
times  has  almost  collapsed  —  many  times  has  been  weary 
and  worn  almost  to  a  shadow  in  trying  to  keep  pace  with 
our  great  minds. 

In  our  history  work,  we  have  members  of  our  Class  that 
oftentimes  tell  our  instructor  things  that  she  herself  had  not 
discovered. 

The  text-book,  however,  has  no  charm  for  us ;  in  fact, 
we  as  a  Class  have  found  that  our  method  and  the  method 


of  the  text-book  are  not  the  same,  yet,  nevertheless,  we  have 
adopted  ours,  as  it  is  superior. 

Among  our  members  we  have  representatives  of  the 
complete  round  of  modern  life.  We  have  poets  —  beings 
who  consult  the  clever  muse,  poets  like  unto  the  sweet  sing- 
ers of  old,  such  as  Homer,  Spenser  and  Milton.  We  have 
scholars  who  delve  into  material  matter,  who  search  out  the 
hidden  mysteries  of  the  past,  who  snatch  cherished  secrets 
from  the  future.     Of  such  stufif  we  are  made. 

Last,  but  not  least,  we  have  moonshiners,  who  are  under 
the  careful  and  nurturing  inspection  of  the  moonshine  fac- 
ulty, Professor  Waller  and  Mr.  Hastings.     De-merit-us. 

We  even  furnished  three  men  for  the  football  team  and 
one  for  the  College  basket-ball  team.  On  the  athletic  field, 
on  the  gridiron  and  on  the  basket-ball  floor  our  men  have 
done  their  part,  and  have  brought  the  spoils  of  victory  and 
laid  them  at  our  feet.  And  we,  in  return  for  valiant  service, 
crown  them  with  the  wreath  of  the  victor. 

"  Honor  bright  to  the  Class  of  1909."

PREPDOM 


Wl  E  ARE  here !  in  spite  of  the  abuse  which  is  heaped 
upon  us :  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  we  are  spoken  of 
sHghtingly  as  "  the  members  of  the  lower  classes,"  "  the 
ever-present,"  "  the  Preps." :  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  when- 
ever any  dirty  work  is  done  it  is  thrust  upon  us ;  irt  spite  of 
the  fact  that  whenever  the  Glee  Club  practice  they  select  a 
room  next  to  that  of  some  of  the  long-sufifering  Preps  ;  again 
we  say,  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  even  yet  we  number  among 
us  Charles  Finley  Hunt  and  Edna  Ruth  Cort ! 

Still,  we  arise  to  the  occasion,  and  uncomplainingly  take 
up  our  burdens.  Our  good  spirits  are  only  exceeded  by 
those  kept  at  Bartlett  Hall.  Our  sweet  and  loving  dispo- 
sition is  only  equaled  by  our  faithful  friend  and  champion. 
Dean  Waller.  Our  ready  retort  and  brilliant  repartee  find 
their  match  only  in  our  staunch  admirer,  ]\Iiss  Hortense 
Kingsbury. 

In  our  ranks  we  have  boys  and  girls  whose  careers,  and 


brilliant  ones,  too,  are  plainly  marked  out.  Sarah  Bern- 
hardt, Dr.  Wilson,  Theodore  Roosevelt  and  Bertha  M.  Clay 
all  have  understudies  in  our  classes.  No  names  will  be  men- 
tioned, as  we  do  not  want  our  budding  youth  to  be  put  before 
the  lime-light  of  the  public  eye  too  soon.  In  fact,  the  way 
we  preserve  our  modest  demeanor  is  by  keeping  ourselves 
in  the  background  as  much  as  possible,  and  maintaining  our 
extremely  retiring  disposition. 

In  athletics,  however,  we  are  suspicious  to  everv  one 
on  the  Hill.  Our  touch-downs,  goals  and  home-runs  bring 
forth  the  best  applause.  As  rooters  we  are  unequaled.  The 
inspiration  of  our  presence  is  felt  at  every  contest  fought  on 
the  home  grounds.  In  our  studies  we  surpass  even  —  our- 
selves ;  our  grades  are  extraordinary ;  about  that  there  is 
no  doubt. 

In  Baldwin  Hall,  who  is  it  that  keeps  things  the  live- 
liest?   Who  is  it  that  jumps  to  obey  the  matron's  slightest 

(75) 


wish  when  she  appears?  In  Memorial  Hall,  who  is  it  that 
never  leave  the  hall  during  stu(l\-  hours,  and  are  always  in 
when  the  lights  flash?  In  other  words,  who  is  it  that  sup- 
port the  honor,  integrity  and  originality  of  the  school? 
The  answer  comes  straight,  and  right  from  the  shoulder, 
The  Preps. 

Lest  we  seem  egotistical,  \vc  will  confess  that  our  equals 
are  to  be  found  among  some  (if  the  College  members.  Rut 
stop  !  Yes  !  Truth  will  show  itself — they  ha\'e  been  through 
the   Prcparator\-  department. 


As  we  near  the  end  of  our  stay  in  Prepdom.  we  shrink 
from  the  entrance  of  the  Great  Unknown,  that  dark  cave, 
whose  first  rock  to  roll  away  is  labeled  "  Freshman."  and 
the  successive  ones,  "Sophomore,"  "Junior"  and  "Senior." 
However,  this  sunny  sheltered  land  in  which  we  now  live 
has  treated  us  square  and  nourished  us  well,  and  there  has 
been  enough  hard  work  in  it  to  prepare  us  for  the  struggle 
which  is  bound  to  come.  So.  though  we  shrink,  we  do  not 
fear  to  enter  upon  our  college  career.

THE    MILITARY    DEPARTMENT 


'T'HE  Military  Department  of  the  College  was  organized  j 
about  five  years  ago,  and  has  proved  to  be  a  valuable  < 
feature  of  college  life.  The  drill  is  entirely  optional,  but  j 
when  a  student  has  entered,  he  becomes  subject  to  rigid 
military  discipline  in  matters  of  attendance,  promptness,  and 
soldierly  conduct  while  at  drill.  No  elTort  has  been  made, 
or  will  be  made,  to  enforce  military  discipline  upon  the  cadets 
except  during  the  semi-weekly  drill  and  other  exercises  of 
the  department.  The  purpose  of  the  organization  is  not  to 
make  soldiers,  although  the  latest  drill  regulations  of  the 
United  States  Army  are  used,  and  every  effort  is  made  to 
develop  a  high  degree  of  skill  in  the  manual  of  arms  and 
the  field  movements  of  the  company  and  the  battalion.  The 
aim  is  to  develop  erect  and  easy  and  graceful  carriage  among 
the  cadets,  and  to  foster  quickness  of  eye,  promptness  and 
system  in  the  performance  of  duty,  and  something  of  the  fine 


manliness,  of  both  body  and  mind,  that  comes  from  rigid 
training  of  the  entire  body. 

This  year  the  work  of  the  department  has  been  given 
unusual  encouragement  by  a  liberal  appropriation  made  by 
the  Directors  of  the  College.  This  has  made  possible  the 
purchase  of  some  much  needed  equipment,  which  has  greatly 
increased  the  efficiency  of  the  work.  Another  gift  that  has 
been  enthusiastically  appreciated  is  the  handsome  battalion 
flag  presented  by  the  Tuesday  Club  and  the  Chilhowee  Club 
of  JMaryville,  and  the  local  Chapter  of  the  Junior  Order  of 
American  Mechanics.  Rev.  W.  K.  Weaver,  of  the  New 
Providence  Presbyterian  Church,  by  his  solicitation  and 
assistance,  secured  this  most  acceptable  gift,  and  formally 
presented  it  to  the  company  on  the  afternoon  of  February  22, 

Plans  are  being  made  for  exhibition  drills  and  a  sham 
battle,  perhaps  with  a  company  from  some  other  institution, 
some  time  in  May.

ALPHA    SIGMA 


I  DO  NOT  believe  that  the  present  records  of  a  successful 
institution  are  ever  of  so  much  interest  to  the  reader  as 
the  past  history  is.  I  rely  upon  this  belief  in  presenting  the 
Alpha  Sigma  to  you.  The  present  life  of  the  Society  has 
all  the  qualities  that  go  to  make  up  real  life.  That  fact  is 
self-evident  to  all  observers.  And  now  in  regard  to  our 
beginning. 

In  March  of  1882  nine  men  came  to  the  conclusion  that 
a  new  organization  was  essential  to  the  welfare  and  success 
of  the  College.  So  the  Alpha  Sigma  Society  was  organized. 
After  organizing,  they  asked  the  Faculty  of  the  College  for 
quarters.  They  were  given  the  rooms  on  the  third  floor  in 
the  west  end  of  Anderson  Hall  —  rooms  formerly  occupied 
by  the  Animicultus  Society,  which  was  disbanded  in  1882  — 
rooms,  also,  which  we  still  occupy.  These  nine  members 
were : 

David  A.  Clemens,  Caldwell.  Idaho. 

James  Davis,  Knoxville,  Tenn. 

Hermann  A.  Gofif,  Eustis,  Florida. 


Abe  Greer  (deceased). 
W.  W.  Hastings,  Springfield,  ?\Iass. 
David  A.  Heron,  Indianapolis,  Ind. 
John  Grant  Newman,  W\'oming,  Ohio, 
Samuel  T,  Rankin,  Long  Beach,  Cal. 
John  Wallace,  Chattanooga,  Tenn. 

When  the  Society  met  for  the  first  time,  the  following 
officers  were  elected :  President,  J.  G.  Newman  ;  Secretary, 
Abe  Greer ;  Censor,  D.  A.  Heron.  At  that  meeting,  also, 
there  was  but  one  piece  of  furniture  in  the  room,  and  that 
an  old-fashioned  seat  of  the  kind  used  in  the  chapel  thirty 
years  ago.  The  meeting  was  held  before  the  sun  went  down, 
so  they  could  have  light. 

Such  was  the  beginning.  A  charter  member  coming  into 
our  Society  hall  would  naturally  notice  a  great  contrast  in 
the  appearance  of  the  hall ;  but  I  doubt  if  our  society  spirit 
and  rank,  fine  though  it  is,  can  be  superior  to  theirs  twenty- 
four  years  ago.

THE    ATHENIAN    LITERARY    SOCIETY 


Color  —  Crimson. 


'T'HE  Athenian  is  the  oldest  Literar}'  Society  on  College 
^  Hill.  It  was  organized  just  after  the  reopening  of 
^lar\'ville  College  which  succeeded  the  close  of  the  Civil 
War.  On  February  14,  1868,  nine  students  met  for  the 
]>urpose  of  organizing  a  debating  society.  Out  of  the  small 
.number  present  they  elected  officers  as  follows:  H.  W. 
Sawyer,  President ;  G.  E.  Bicknell,  Vice-President :  J.  E. 
Alexander.  Secretary;  F.  M.  Allen  and  C.  A.  Duncan,  Cen- 
sors. The  others  present  were  G.  S.  W.  Crawford,  N.  H. 
Greer,  A.  S.  Sheddan  and  J.  Inman.  A  constitution  and 
bv-laws  were  adopted,  and  the  new  organization  was  called 
"  The  Athenian  Literary  Society."  A  room  in  Anderson 
Hall  was  given  by  the  Faculty  to  the  Society  for  its  meet- 
ings. Since  its  inception  the  history  of  the  Society  is  a 
record  of  constant  progress.  For  a  time  the  Society  was 
divided  into  two  sections,  which  met  on  different  nights, 
but  the  plan  was  not  satisfactory,  so  the  two  sections  were 
again  united. 

At  present  we  have  a  large  membership,  and  are  bend- 
ing all  our  energies  to  the  work  for  the  accomplishing  of 


which  the  Society  was  founded.  A  definite  purpose  under- 
lies all  our  thoughts  and  plans,  namely,  to  give  our  mem- 
bers a  thorough  literary  training.  Throughout  our  whole 
history,  as  at  the  present  time,  we  have  laid  stress  upon 
honest,  conscientious  work.  And  as  the  influence  of  Athens 
in  Greece  toward  the  production  of  literature  and  the  refine- 
ment of  life,  so  in  its  little  sphere  in  Maryville  College  the 
Athenian  Literary  Society  has  been  a  power  for  good  that 
has  been  surpassed  by  no  other  organization.  Some  of  our 
Alumni  have  won  fame,  others  are  doing  their  work  in  com- 
parative obscurity,  but  the  impress  that  their  old  Society  has 
left  on  their  lives  is  ineffaceable,  and  the  standard  of  life 
that  was  there  placed  before  their  eyes  will  never  be  for- 
gotten. As  the  admonition  went  forth  from  the  flagship  in 
the  time  of  peril,  "  England  expects  every  man  to  do  his 
duty,"  so  the  call  has  gone  forth  from  our  Society,  and 
to-day  all  over  the  world,  in  places  of  responsibility  and 
power,  and  in  places  of  humble  service,  her  graduates  are 
answering  that  call.

THE    BAINONIAN    LITERARY    SOCIETY 


THE  Bainoiiian  Literary  Society  was  organized  in  1875. 
Soon  after  the  young  men  had  organized  their  Hterary 
societies,  a  young  woman  chanced  to  remark  that  she  didn't 
see  why  girls  couldn't  have  a  literary  society  as  well  as  the 
boys.  A  young  man  remarked  :  "  Pshaw !  Girls  couldn't 
draft  a  constitution  and  by-laws  ;  and  even  if  they  did  have 
them,  they  wouldn't  know  how  to  use  them.  Girls  can't 
debate,  anyway." 

This  aroused  ambition  in  some  spirited  young  women, 
and  they  resolved  to  organize  a  literary  society  to  show  what 
girls  can  do. 

In  a  short  time  these  young  women  met  in  one  of  the 
recitation  rooms  of  the  College  and  organized  the  Bainonian 
Literary  Society. 

The  name,  which  means  "  Going  forward."  was  given 
by  Professor  Lamar. 

The  Society  is  now  nearing  its  thirty-second  year,  and 
we  think  we  can  truthfully  say  that  during  this  time  — 

"  None  knew  her  but  to  love  her; 
None  named  her  but  to  praise." 

During  these  years  the  Bainonians  have  toiled  with  a 
will.  There  have  been  struggles  as  well  as  triumphs.  The 
Society  stands  for  progress.  The  culture  received  here  is 
great  and  lasting. 


]\Iany  are  the  members  in  whom  we  feel  a  worthy  pride. 
To-day  they  are  to  be  found  in  the  mission  fields  of  South 
America,  Persia,  India  and  Siam,  as  well  as  in  the  schools 
and  homes  of  our  own  and  other  lands. 

The  home  of  the  Bainonian  Society  is  on  the  third  floor 
of  Anderson  Hall.  During  'the  past  year  the  Society  hall 
has  been  re-papered  and  re-carpeted,  the  color  scheme  being 
green  and  white. 

The  memories  of  dear  old  Bainonian  will  live  long. 
They  will  linger  with  us  even  in  old  age,  like  the  twilight 
after  other  lights  have  gone  out. 

"  Our  strong  band  can  ne'er  l:>e  broken. 
Sing  its  praises  high  ; 
Far  surpasses  wealth  unspoken. 
Sealed  by  friendship's  tie. 

Chorus  — 
"  Bainonian,  Piainonian, 

Deep  graven  on  each  heart. 

We'll  be  found  unwavering,  true. 

When  we  from  College  part. 

"  Memory's  leaflets  close  shall  tv.'ine 
Around  our  hearts  for  aye, 
And  waft  us  back  o'er  life's  broad  track, 
To  pleasures  long  gone  by."

THETA    EPSILON 


'T'HIS  Society,  the  youngest  of  the  four  Hterary  societies 
on  the  Hill,  was  organized  in  1894  There  was  already 
one  girls'  society  here  of  some  years'  standing,  but  the  need 
of  stimulating  competition  was  felt,  and  Theta  Epsilon  arose 
to  supply  the  want.  Six  girls  put  on  blue  and  white  ribbons, 
adopted  a  constitution,  and  settled  down  to  the  difficult  work 
of  firmly  founding  the  new  organization. 

The  next  year  brou'3;ht  several  members,  and  from  that 
time  on  Theta  Epsilrn  has  steadily  grown  and  prospered,, 
until  this  year  sixty  answer  the  roll  call,  beside  a  large  list 
of  honorary  members. 

Our  girls  have  well  represented  us  in  the  other  depart- 
ments of  college  life  and  interests.  During  the  twelve  years 
of  our  existence  five  of  our  members  have  been  President  of 
the  Y.  W.  C.  A.,  beside  other  offices  held  by  our  girls  in  the 
same  organization.  In  athletics  we  have  always  done  our 
share,  some  of  our  members  being  on  the  girls'  basket-ball 
team  every  year,  and  by  their  presence  at  all  athletic  events 
our  members  testify  their  strong  interest  in  this  important 
feature  of  college  life. 


Our  literary  work  this  year  has  diflfered  from  that  of 
former  years,  in  that  we  followed  no  definite  plan,  prefer- 
ring to  cover  as  much  of  the  more  modern  school  of  fiction 
as  possible.  The  study  of  Scott,  Hugo,  Dickens,  Vandyke 
and  others  has  occupied  our  year  of  work,  interspersed  with 
an  occasional  Wagner  program,  rendered  by  the  musical 
members  of  the  Society. 

"An  Evening  with  Dickens"  was  the  subject  of  our 
annual  entertainment  this  year,  consisting  of  an  oration  on 
Dickens,  readings  from  Pickwick  Papers  and  Tale  of  Two 
Cities,  and  scenes  and  characters  from  David  Copperfield 
and  the  Old  Curiosity  Shop,  his  most  familiar  works.  And 
those  who  took  the  advice  of  our  posters,  "  'Go  to  the 
Dickens'  Entertainment,"  assured  us  that  we  did  not  fall 
below  the  standard  set  for  us. 

We  lose  but  six  of  our  members  this  June,  and  it  is  with 
strong  hopes  for  future  success  and  achievement  in  our  Alma 
Mater  that  Theta  Epsilon  looks  forward  to  the  coming 
year.

THE    MEN    OF    '06    IN    THE    Y.   M.   C.   A. 


T~'HERE  is  probably  no  one  of  the  student  organizations 
in  which  the  real  interests  and  purposes  of  the  College 
are  more  fully  involved  than  in  the  Young  Men's  Christian 
Association.  Neither  is  there  perhaps  a  better  indicator  of 
the  great  advances  of  the  College  which  have  marked  so  well 
the  past  five  years  than  the  enlargement  of  Association  work 
which  has  been  eflfected  during  the  school  days  of  the  present 
graduating  class.  There  are  a  number  of  lines  of  enter- 
prising work  that  have  been  undertaken  and  successfully 
carried  out  during  this  period.  The  auditorium  has  been 
seated ;  the  reading  room  fitted  up  and  supplied  with  peri- 
odicals and  magazines ;  a  good  start  toward  a  large,  up-to 
date  circulating  library  has  been  made ;  a  hospital  equipped, 
and  a  bath,  with  dressing  room  and  lockers,  placed  in  the 
basement. 


In  addition  to  these  material  improvements,  a  Y.  Al.  C.  A. 
Camp  has  been  founded ;  a  Lyceum  Course,  which  is  becom- 
ing more  popular  every  year,  has  been  most  successfully 
planned  and  operated,  and  the  yearly  custom  of  raising  funds 
for  the  support  of  a  missionary  on  the  foreign  field  has  been 
observed. 

The  idea  of  a  check  room  for  wraps  to  accommodate  the 
large  crowds  at  the  College  socials  has  been  put  into  practice, 
and  is  a  source  of  income  to  the  Association. 

Finallv,  since  five  years  ago  the  membership  of  the  Asso- 
ciation has  been  more  than  doubled,  and  the  yearly  cash  re- 
ceipts (by  the  various  means  indicated  above)  have  increased 
from  about  $200  to  $1,200. 

In  this  work  during  these  years  the  members  of  the  grad- 
uating class  have  been  prominent.     Two  of  our  members 


(93) 


have  been  members  of  the  Cabinet  for  these  five  years.  Fol-

T^HE  Young  Women's  Christian  Association  of  Maryville 
College  was  organized  in  April,  1888,  with  twenty-five 
active  and  four  associate  members.    A  few  years  before  there 
had  been  such  an  organization,  but  it  had  not  survived. 

The  Y.  M.  C.  A.  boys  had  just  returned  from  their  annual 
convention,  and  +iad  given  inspiring  reports.  It  seemed  a 
])\t\  that  the  girls  had  no  Association.  Miss  Helen  M.  Lord, 
a  teacher  in  the  College,  talked  it  over  with  a  few  of  them, 
and  met  with  ready  response.  The  Association  was  organ- 
ized, and  Miss  Lord  was  the  first  President.  The  plan  of 
work  adojjted  included  a  meeting  for  Bible  study  one  even- 
ing in  the  week,  and  a  devotional  meeting,  maintained  by 
the  girls  on  Sunday  afternoon  in  the  parlor  of  Baldwin  Hall. 
It  is  interesting  to  note  tliat  Bible  study  was  a  part  of  the 
first  work  of  the  Association.  Most  of  the  girls  of  the 
Senior  Class  have  taken  an  active  part  in  the  work.  Since 
they  were  Middle  Preps.,  the  presidency  of  the  Association 


has  been  filled  without  exception  by  some  member  of  the 
Class.  The  organization  has  grown  in  the  time  from  forty- 
one  to  about  one  hundred  and  fifty.  More  than  one  girl  in 
the  Class  says  that  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  has  been  of  more  real 
help  to  her,  in  all  lines,  than  has  any  other  single  influence 
of  college  life.  It  has  stood  for  the  highest,  truest,  noblest 
type  of  Christian  womanhood  ;  and  only  the  usefulness  of  the 
lives  that  have  gone  out  from  its  ranks  into  the  work  of  the 
Master,  both  on  the  foreign  field  and  at  home,  can  demon- 
strate how  nearly  it  has  accomplished  its  three-fold  purpose : 
to  win  women  to  Christ,  to  train  them  in  Christ,  to  send  them 
out  for  Christ. 

The  Sunday  evening  meetings  are  still  held  in  Baldwin 
parlor,  but  better  things  are  in  store.  In  the  new  chapel 
building  the  Association  will  have  a  commodious  home ;  but 
its  success  will  still  be  dependent  upon  its  watchword :  "  Not 
by  might,  nor  by  power,  but  by  my  spirit,  saith  the  Lord  of 
Hosts."

LIFE'S    TRAGEDY 


O 


UT  on  the  ocean  the  waves  are  high, 

Blackly  threatens  the  bending  sky ; 
Hurry  the  women  and  cliildren  by 
To  the  wild  seashore. 


Savagely  shrieks  the  pitiless  gale, 
Breaking  the  oar  and  rending  the  sail ; 
Hearts  grow  faint  and  cheeks  grow  pale 
On  the  dim  seashore. 


Boats  are  out  on  the  sea  to-day, 
Hid  in  the  mist  and  tossing  spray 
Some  of  them  are  not  far  away 
From  the  safe  seashore. 


All  is  over  upon  the  sea ; 
The  sailors  are  resting  peacefully, 
Sleeping  the  sleep  of  eternity, 
By  the  calm  seashore. 


Now  the  fishermen  strive  and  strain. 
Manfully  w^ork  until  all  is  vain, 
Trxdng  to  hope  that  they  yet  may  gain 
The  firm  seashore. 


Out  on  the  ocean  the  sky  is  blue, 
Echoes  the  crv  of  the  wild  sea-mew ; 
Bright  are  the  rocks  in  the  sunset  hue 
By  the  fair  seashore. 


All  is  quiet  and  calm  below ; 
But  borne  as  tlie  evening  breezes  blow. 
The  sound  of  a  woman  weeping  low 
By  the  sad  seashore.

GIRLS'    BASKET-BALL 


\17HY  is  it  with  the  words  "girls'  basket-ball"  there  is 
always  in  some  people's  minds  a  vision  of  ten  girls 
rushing  madly  together,  pulling  hair,  bumping  noses,  and 
scratching  frantically,  while  in  the  corner,  doubtless,  the  ball 
lies  peacefully  grinning  on  at  the  scene  of  confusion? 

If  such  were  the  case,  where  would  be  the  usual  inter- 
est, and  even  fascination,  displayed  ?  Every  one  knows  that 
when  a  girl  once  plays  her  first  game  of  basket-ball  she  is  an 
enthusiast  from  that  time  on  to  the  end  of  her  college  career. 
Were  hair-pulling  an  essential  feature  of  the  game,  it  is 
evident  that  within  a  very  short  time  there  would  be  such  a 
scarcity  of  that  most  luxuriant  and  ornamental  article  that 
the  price  of  wigs  and  the  like  would  advance  appreciably. 

But  it  must  needs  be  said  that  there  is  no  game  in  the 
world  which  could  so  interest  a  girl  that  she  would  thus  will- 
inglv  sacrifice  herself  for  its  sake,  unless,  perchance,  it  be  the 
world-wide  game  of but  on  to  the  record  that  has  been 


made  by  the  girls'  basket-ball  team  of  Alaryville  College  —  a 
record  that  proves  beyond  a  doubt  that  there  is  something  in 
girls'  basket-ball  besides  a  mere  contest  of  physical  strength, 
hair-pulling  and  nose-smashing. 

In  1903  the  first  match  game  was  played  with  the  Uni- 
versity of  Tennessee  girls.  Soon  after  a  return  game  was 
played,  both  of  which  resulted  in  a  splendid  victory  for  our 
'Varsity  girls,  with  a  score  averaging  20  to  i. 

•  The  same  inglorious  defeats  were  met  with  by  the  U.  T. 
girls  the  following  season. 

Besides  the  usual  games  and  victorious  results  with  the 
U.  T.  girls  in  1904.  a  challenge  was  received  from  the  Con- 
cord girls,  who,  only  two  weeks  prior  to  that  time,  had  out- 
witted the  Tennessee  girls  in  a  close  contest.  The  challenge 
was  accepted,  and  a  game  was  arranged  to  be  placed  in  the 
Y.  M.  C.  A.  Gymnasium  in  Knoxville. 

The  Concord  girls  put  up  a  plucky  fight,  occasionally  too 


(lOl) 


plucky,  for  strands  of  loose  hair  and  bruised  and  scratched 
places  were  the  unhappy  results ;  but  they  lacked  a  scientific 
understanding  of  the  game,  and  consequently  the  M.  C.  girls 
were  easy  winners. 

Miss  Annabelle  Cox  was  Captain  fcfr  1903.  '04  and  '05. 
She  proved  her  ability  for  that  place,  not  only  by  her  own 
skillful  plaving.  which  can  not  be  surpassed,  but  by  the 
excellent  training  she  gave  her  team,  resulting  in  the  alrove 
stated  victories. 

This  basket-ball  season  opened  with  Katherine  Toof  as 
Captain. 

In  consequence  of  the  training  and  vigorous  ])ractice 
given  the  team  by  Coach  Chadwick.  the  high  record  of  the 
past  has  been  maintained. 

The  games  with  the  U.  T.  girls  this  year  (not  any  amount 
of  coaxing  could  get  the  Concord  girls  to  play  us  again) 
were  not  only  attended  with  the  s?me  success,  but  were 
two  of  the  prettiest  games  ever  played  by  our  'Varsity  team. 


The  passing  and  defensive  work  were  splendid,  while  the 
forwards  and  center  excelled  in  the  adroitly  thrown  goals 
from  the  field.  Every  player  was  on  the  alert.  No  sooner 
did  one  receive  the  ball  than  silently  and  swiftly  it  was  passed 
to  another ;  quietly  passing  from  one  end  of  the  field  to  the 
other,  where,  from  a  well-directed  throw,  it  winked  through 
the  net  of  the  basket,  to  the  applauding  audience  above. 

The  last  game  with  the  U.  T.  girls  ended  with  a  score 
of  18  to  3  for  old  Orange  and  Garnet.  The  first,  however, 
was  37  to  5  for  the  M.  C.  girls.

BASKET-BALL 


DASKET-BALL  is  probably  Maryville's  strongest  point 
^  when  it  comes  to  athletics.  In  no  particular  branch  is 
she  lacking;  but  in  this  sport  it  is  safe  to  say  no  college  in 
the  South  can  excel  her.  Last  season  was  as  successful  as 
ever,  although  two  of  the  players  were  entirely  new  at  the 
game  when  the  season  opened.  They  are  Samsel  and  Hunt 
both  guards.  The  former  is  strong  at  sneaking  in  a  field 
goal  frequently,  while  the  latter  makes  a  specialty  of  freez- 
ing onto  his  man  always.  The  results  of  this  can  be  seen 
in  the  table  appended.  While  Hunt  made  only  two  points 
against  Samsel's  twenty-two,  his  opponents  succeeded  in 
making  only  nineteen  against  Samsel's  opponents'  forty. 

To  Captain  Spruell  undoubtedly  belongs  the  distinction 
of  the  star  collegiate  forward  of  the  South,  he  having  made 
one  hundred  and  thirty-five  points  out  of  the  total  two  hun- 
dred and  ninety-five  of  his  team's  score  for  the  season 
Rankin  was  too  big  for  any  man  who  came  near  him,  and 
Elmore  could  always  throw  a  field  goal  from  the  most  impos- 
sible positions  and  tightest  places.  He  is  the  best  ground- 
covering  forward  we  have  ever  had. 

True,  we  were  beaten  once,  at  Chattanooga.  Our  oppo- 
nents were  a  strong  team,  who  played  the  Eastern  style  of 
game,  and  did  us  up  only  by  the  close  score  of  20  to  16. 

( 104 ) 


However,  when  Maryville  adopted  their  rough  style  of  play 
in  the  second  half,  they  defeated  them  for  the  half  by  the 
score  of  7  to  3.  This  is  pretty  good  bracing-up  on  a  strange 
floor.     Decidedly,  this  year's  team  was  a  success.

FOOTBALL 


'T'HE  last  season  of  football  came  up  to  the  good  standard 
Maryville  usually  maintains  in  this  branch  of  athletics 
The  team  consisted  of  entirely  new  men  but  three,  so  that  a 
great  deal  of  credit  is  due  Coach  Chadwick  on  the  successful 
manner  in  which  he  rounded  out  a  team.  One  thing  that 
made  the  score  for  the  season  look  so  large  against  us  was 
the  fact  that  Vanderbilt  was  played  first  thing  in  the  season, 
without  any  practice.  The  effect  of  a  month's  practice  can 
be  seen  in  the  two  American  University  scores.

BASEBALL 


DROBABLY  there  is  more  college  spirit  and  loyalt}-  dis- 
played  in  this  branch  of  athletics  at  Maryville  than  any 
other.  This  year  we  have  as  good  a  team  as  ever,  but  The 
Chilhowean  goes  to  press  too  early  to  give  the  scores  of 
all  the  games,  and  consequently  we  use  those  of  last  year. 
Maryville  can  justly  be  proud  of  her  baseball  teams. 
Last  year  they  beat  the  team  that  defeated  Cornell  i6  to  lo 
bv  a  score  in  the  first  game  of  4  to  3,  and  in  the  second 
of  5  to  2,  and  this  on  Castle  Heights'  own  grounds.  Only 
one  defeat  fell  to  our  lot,  and  this  was  wiped  out  by  three 
decisive  victories  over  the  same  team,  Tusculum.

OFT    IN    THE    STILLY    NIGHT 


O 


FT  in  the  stilly  night. 

While  hunger's  fangs  do  hound  me. 
Fond  memory  throws  the  light 

Of  mother's  grub  around  me. 


When  I  remember  some 

Of  the  stews,  so  cooked  together, 
I've  seen  around  me  come, 

With  steak  as  tough  as  leather. 


The  hash,  the  prunes,  the  cold  corn-pone, 
Cakes  that  our  jaws  have  broken. 

All  make  me  wish  that  I  was  home 
And  eatin'  mother's  cookin'. 

Thus,  morning,  noon  and  night. 

These  hungry  aches  betide  me ; 
Sad  memory  shows  the  might 

Of  aching  voids  inside  me. 


I  feel  like  one  who'd  eat  a  ton 
Of  good  old  roasted  mutton ; 

But  none  I  see,  and  all.  like  me, 
Are  sadly  eatin'  nothin'. 

Thus,  on  one  stilly  night. 

While  others  slept  around  us. 
We  got  some  grub,  we  ate  it  up, 

And  once  more  peace  hath  found  us.

Dr.  Barnes  (in  Pedagogy) — Now,  Mr. — ah  —  Mc- 
Campbell,  in  a  general  way  —  ah  —  state  some  principles 
laid  down  by  modern  statesmen  in  regard  to  national  affairs 
that  might  —  ah  —  apply  to  school  management  and  system 
as  well. 

Samuel  Ebenezer  McCampbell  —  Well,  Doctor,  about 
the  only  one  I  can  think  of  is  that  'un  Doctor  Wilson  quotes 
from  Coxey,  "  Keep  off  the  grass." 


"  The  Way  oe  the  Transgressor  Is  Hard." 

I  think  that  it  can  be  safely  stated  that  righteousness  is 
the  only  sure  path  of  safety.  I  believe  that  in  this  world 
u]irightness  is  rewarded  and  misdeeds  are  discovered  and 


judgment  meted  out  to  the  offender.  A  little  incident  oc- 
curred while  I  was  yet  a  student  in  Maryville  College  that 
was  conclusive  to  me  of  that  theory,  and  I  have  never  since 
swerved  from  that  opinion.    The  incident  is  as  follows : 

The  Faculty  of  my  college  were  holding  a  secret  session 
one  Tuesday  night  after  the  regular  weekly  prayer  meeting, 
and  the  question  came  up  that  had  never  come  up  before  in 
that  august  body,  of  what  was  to  be  done  with  the  "  Bart- 
lett  Hall  Ring."  That  Ring  had  for  months  and  years  been 
famed  far  and  near  as  being  a  body  of  energetic,  brilliant 
young  men,  actuated  by  the  highest  principles  of  right.  But 
on  that  night  the  various  professors  had  come  in  with  one 
and  the  same  report,  that  scholarship  with  those  young 
stars  had  ceased  to  be  paramount ;  in  fact,  Professor  Mathes 

(113) 


showed  to  the  rest  of  the  Facuhy  five  straight  flunks  against 
Creswell  in  Greek.  Bassett  had  a  similar  report  concerning 
Goiirlev  in  Latin.  Dr.  Barnes  had  noticed  how  Souder  had 
confused  such  a  simple  fact  as  Sovereignty  in  the  German 
State  with  Sovereignty  in  the  German  Government.  Similar 
reports  followed  from  the  rest  of  the  Faculty  ad  infinitum 
"  The  poor  boys  were  exhausted  from  previous  exertions ; 
that  was  the  only  solution  to  the  problem." 

The  Faculty  adjourned,  and,  standing  outside  on  the 
campus,  the  Professor  of  Greek  called  the  attention  of  the 
Latin  Sage  to  a  light  away  up  on  the  upper  story  of  Bartlett 
Hall. 

"Ah,"  quoth  the  follower  of  Plato,  "  midnight  is  too  late 
an  hour  for  such  a  light  to  be  a  favorable  omen.  Let  you 
and  me  investigate." 

The  Professor  of  Greek  first  advanced,  climbed  the  stairs 
to  the  attic,  then  walked  with  stately  military  strides  to  the 
door.  He  pounded  on  the  door  and  demanded  in  Greek, 
"  Let  me  in."  Consternation  prevailed  within,  then  the 
frightened  voice  of  Hope  broke  the  silence  with  a  shrill 
treble:  "Who's  there?"  "It's  me:  Professor  Mathes," 
came  the  answer.  "  Oh.  no,"  Hope  replied,  with  regained 
voice,  "  that  isn't  Professor  JMathes :  he  would  have  said  '  I ' 
instead  of  'me.'  "  The  steps  that  retreated  down  the  stairs 
indicated  shame  from  their  very  sound.  Again  the  profes- 
sors met  in  conclave :  again  the  lamp  was  lighted  up  above, 


and  the  voices  of  rioters  came  down  to  the  professors.  Then 
Bassett  ascended.  He  approached  in  quiet,  and  in  an  instant 
was  in  the  room.  Jewell,  who  had  been  invited  in  to  spend 
the  evening,  was  holding  a  "  straight  flush."  The  misdeed 
was  discovered  —  Bassett  had  crawled  in  under  the  door. 
.\nd  if  you  ask  how  I  happened  to  know  about  all  of  this  — 
well,  I  was  one  of  the  Ring." — Extract  from  sermon  by  Rev 
L.  E.  Eoster,  Erog  Fond.  Ala.,  igi2.

had  tried  to  get  into  Parliament  and  failed,  had  tried  to 
secure  a  bishopric  and  failed,  his  children  all  died :  his  wife

Fractured  legs,  broken  arms, 

Lots  of  dirt  and  sand. 
Make  the  football  hero 

Ruler  of  the  land. 
Half  a  pail  of  water, 

A  day  or  so  in  bed, 
Takes  the  glittering  halo 

From  the  hero's  head. 


Professor  Bassett  gives  his  Horace  Class  some  genera 


rules  for  scansion : 


Before. 


There  are  meters  of  accent 
And  meters  of  tone. 

But  the  best  of  all  meters 
Is  to  meet  her  alone. 

After. 

There  are  letters  of  accent 
And  letters  of  tone. 

But  the  best  of  all  letters 
Is  to  let  her  alone. 


Mrs.  G11.MAN  (in  Psychology)— Doctor,  do  we  begin 
our  written  lesson  with  "  simple  sensations "  ? 

Dr.  Barnes  (kindly)— Well  — ah —  Mrs.— ah  — Mrs. 
Oilman,  of  course  this  is  not  personal,  but  you  may  have  that 
kind  of  sensations  on  that  day." 


Last  spring,  while  Dr.  Wilson  was  making  his  annual 
trip  of  the  North  and  East,  while  he  was  traveling  from 
New  York  to  Philadelphia,  thinking  of  how  he  could  get 
another  hundred  thousand  from  some  Rockefeller,  he  was 
suddenly  annoyed  by  a  portly  drummer,  who  sat  himself 
familiarly  by  his  side  and  attempted  to  engage  him  in  con- 
versation. The  drummer  mistook  the  Doctor  for  one  of  his 
own  craft,  and  told  all  the  latest  jokes  he  knew,  but  some- 
how the  Doctor  failed  to  warm  up  or  reply,  remaining  very 
dignified  and  cold.  The  drummer  now  changed  his  tactics 
and  talked  about  the  company  he  represented  and  the  goods 
he  had  to  sell,  but  still  the  Doctor's  replies  were  dry  and 
in  monosyllables.  The  drummer,  to  draw  him  out,  asked: 
"What  line  do  you  represent?"  Dr.  Wilson's  answer  was 
very  cold,  and,  thinking  to  squelch  him.  he  haughtily  replied: 
"  Brains,  sir  ;  brains  !  I  am  a  college  president."  The  drum- 
mer slowly  looked  him  over  and  replied :  "■  Hain't  you  glad 
you  don't  have  to  carry  a  sample?"

ONE    OF    MISS    MOLLY'S    BI-WEEKLY    LECTURES 


T^HE  little  bell  in  the  dining  room  is  always  responsible  for 
them.  It  rings  out  clear,  imperious,  and  the  manager's 
deep  voice  announces,  "All  the  young  ladies  are  called  to 
meet  in  the  back  parlor  at  six-thirty."  A  moment's  painful 
silence  follows ;  then  sympathetic  glances  are  passed  across 
the  tables,  for  some  of  the  girls  turn  pale ;  only  an  incor- 
rigible or  two  shrugs  her  shoulders  and  says,  "  You'll  not 
see  me  there." 

When  the  echoes  of  the  study-bell  are  dying  away,  one 
hundred  and  twenty-five  eager  faces  are  ranged  around  the 
central  figure  between  the  portals  of  the  parlors.  One  hun- 
dred and  twenty-five  did  I  say  ?  No,  no ;  there  might  be  one 
or  two  who,  fearing  the  kind  censure  or  tearful  advice  of 
the  Matron,  had  crept  guiltily  up  the  back  stairway  to  their 
rooms. 

"  Now,  girls,"  it  begins,  "  I  don't  want  to  take  much  of 
your  time  to-night,  but  there  are  a  few  things  I  want  to  speak 
about.    In  the  first  place,  girls,  I  want  to  thank  you  for  the 

(ii6) 


way  in  which  you  have  conducted  yourselves.  It  is  remark- 
able that  there  has  been  so  little  trouble  among  so  many. 
You  violated  the  rules  very  little,  and  for  the  most  part  you 
have  conscientiously  tried  to  do  what  you  have  thought  was 
right.  But  there  are  just  one  or  two  things  that  I  must 
speak  about. 

"  Now,  we  do  not  want  to  make  these  rules ;  it  is  not  for 
our  pleasure,  but  only  for  your  good,  and  some  day  you  can 
see  it  so.  I  tell  you.  girls,  it  is  when  the  experiences  of  life 
come  to  you,  when  you  have  seen  life  as  I  have  seen  it.  that 
you  realize  the  importance  of  building  a  good,  solid  character. 
So  these  rules  must  be  enforced. 

(Reads)  :  "  'Let  nothing  be  thrown  out  of  the  windows.' 
You  can  see  the  importance  of  this ;  I  do  not  need  to  dwell 
upon  it.  No  lady  would  be  guilty  of  disfiguring  our  beau- 
tiful campus ;  it  is  only  thoughtlessness,  girls,  I  know,  but 
still  I  must  speak  of  this.  Suppose,  for  instance,  every  girl 
in  Baldwin  —  as,  I  am  sorry  to  say,  a  few  have  done  — • 


i 


should  sharpen  her  pencils  out  of  the  window ;  in  a  few  days 
the  air  of  immaculate  neatness  about  our  buildings  would  be 
changed.     So,  girls,  let  me  insist  that  this  first  rule  be  kept. 

(Reads  again)  :  "  'No  girls  shall  be  seen  moonshining 
on  the  campus,  on  the  stile,  on  the  steps  of  the  library,  below 
the  brow  of  the  hill  at  the  foot  of  the  campus,  under  the  per- 
simmon tree,  in  the  laboratories,  on  the  walk  to  Professor 
Oilman's,  back  of  Science  Hall,  in  the  new  chapel,  or  any 
other  place,  with  the  co-eds.,  except  with  written  permission 
from  parent  or  guardian.'  Remember,  girls,  you  have  only 
your  own  actions  to  count  here ;  you  are  making  a  reputa- 
tion, and  you  must  determine  what  that  reputation  shall  be. 
Can  you  afford,  girls  —  can  3'ou  afford  to  have  your  fair 
names  sullied?  Think  of  the  father  and  mother  at  home, 
think  of  the  care  you  have  had  from  them  all  these  years 
from  your  childhood  up  (tears),  and,  oh,  I  beg  of  you,  do 
not  add  one  gray  hair  to  those  heads  (more  tears).  Let  not 
this,  the  second  rule,  be  violated. 

"And  right  here,  girls,  I  must  speak  of  something  which 
pained  me  deeply.  To  think  that  any  girl  should  so  far  for- 
get her  womanhood!  Oh,  what  would  your  good  name  be 
worth  if  it  should  get  out?  What  if  people  in  town  should 
know  of  this,  and  if  it  should  be  reported  abroad?  Would 
mothers  send  their  daughters  to  Maryville  College  if  this 
digression  should  be  known  ?  Ah,  girls,  you  would  be  sur- 
prised beyond  expression  of  words  if  you  knew  what  room 
it  was  and  what  girls  they  were ;  for,  girls,  (the  air  is  thick 


and  of  a  lurid  hue,  and  breathing  is  almost  suspended,) 
girls,  strings  have  gone  down  from  windows  and  things  have 
been  pulled  up !"  The  occupants  of  No.  —  cringe  with  bitter 
remorse;  tears  course  down  their  flushed  cheeks,  and  they 
cover  their  guilty  faces  with  trembling  handkerchiefs,  and  a 
sob  that  is  almost  a  hysterical  laugh  bursts  from  one  sitting 
just  before  the  speaker  —  a  smile?     Ah,  no;  a  groan! 

Unmindful  of  the  weeping  penitents,  the  Matron  con- 
tinues :  "  But  that  is  not  all.  Girls,  a  professor  was  passing 
Baldwin  at  half-past  eleven  last  night,  and  he  heard  windows 
thrown  up,  and  plainly  discerned  two  of  our  young  ladies 
sticking  their  heads  out  of  the  window  and  crow,  crow, 
CROW !  What  is  the  reputation  of  you  girls  worth  if  this 
should  be  known  ?  It  may  have  been  done  only  in  fun  —  I 
hope  it  was  —  but  there  were  boys  beneath  the  cedars,  and 
what  if  they  had  answered?"  The  tension  or  horror  is  too 
great ;  one  awful  sob  breaks  from  the  one  hundred  and 
twenty-five  at  once,  all  except  two.  They  looked  as  if  they 
could  testify  that  not  only  was  it  "  only  fun,"  but  it  was 
rare  fun  —  fun  that  was  equaled  only  by  the  joy  of  pulling 
up  roasted  rabbits,  buns,  boxes  of  Kern's,  yea,  persimmons 
and  chocolate  cakes,  on  the  disgraceful,  the  heinous,  the 
dishonorably  mentioned  string. 

After  handkerchiefs  and  promises  to  seek  out  and  quell 
such  immoral  sentiments  have  been  freely  in  evidence,  the 
trembling  voice  of  the  speaker  brightens  up  for  a  new  appeal. 
"  Now,  girls,  I  see  that  you  are  in  sympathy  with  order  and 

(117) 


discipline,  and  just  a  word  will  be  sufficient  in  regard  to  an 
evil  which  has  stealthily  crept  into  our  midst,  the  habit  of 
borrowing.  This  habit  of  wearing  another  girl's  gown,  of 
borrowing  a  collar  or  a  waist,  is  common,  and  far  below  the 
standard  for  you  girls.  So,  from  this  time  any  girl  seen 
wearing  any  other  girl's  garment  will  be  given  demerits.  No 
questions  will  be  asked.  If  there  is  any  place  where  a  girl 
shows  her  rearing,  it  is  at  the  table.  No  lady  would  permit, 
in  her  presence,  loud  laughter  at  the  table,  the  throwing  of 
bread,  or  such  rudeness  as  has  been  suspected  in  our  dining 
room  :  and  no  lady  —  she  may  be  hungry,  but  simply  physical 
ills  must  be  disregarded  and  only  the  character  cultivated  — 
no  lady  would  carry  ,so  much  as  a  crumb  from  the  dining 
room.  So  any  girl  seen  taking  from  the  dining  room  any- 
thing to  eat.  either  in  her  hands  or  otherwise,  will  be  demer- 
ited.  Only  a  few  days  ago  I  saw  a  sight  that,  if  your  mothers 
could  witness,  would  make  them  blush  for  shame.  As  he 
was  leaving  the  table,  one  of  the  boys  —  I  can  not  call  him 
a  young  gentleman  —  actually  pulled  a  girl's  hair  ! 


"  Need  I  impress  upon  you  the  virtue  of  neatness  —  neat- 
ness in  dress  and  neatness  in  the  condition  of  your  rooms  ? 
Last  night,  while  the  girls  were  at  the  concert,  I  had  occa- 
sion to  step  into  a  certain  room  —  I  will  mention  no  names  — 
and.  girls.  I  saw  three  dresser  drawers  hanging  open,  with 
collars,  ribbons,  gloves  and  neckties  streaming  out  of  every 
one  ;  every  chair  in  the  room  was  buried  in  billows  of  gowns  ; 
one  was  overturned  ;  three  pairs  of  shoes,  a  mirror,  two 
powder  boxes  and  fifteen  books  —  not  all  astronomies- or 
ethics  —  were  on  the  floor.  I  am  sure  there  was  dust  in 
places  on  the  study  table.  The  pin-cushion  was  under  the 
dresser ;  other  small  articles  under  the  radiator ;  behind  the 
trunks,  which  stood  wide  open,  were  too  many  articles  for 
me  to  enumerate :  the  rugs  rolled  up,  and  really  the  whole 
room  not  in  pulpit  order.  Remember  that  a  lady  never 
hurries,  and  always  leaves  her  room  immaculate. 

"  Now,  girls,  there  are  two  or  three  other  things  I  wanted 
to  speak  about,  but  I  will  not  take  any  more  of  your  time 
to-night.     Go  quietly  to  your  rooms,  for  it  is  study  hours."

THE    STARVING    SENIOR 

A  Comedy  in  One  Act 


(Written  conjointly  by  Beaumont  and  Fletcher.) 


DRAMATIS  PERSON AB: 


S.  Senior  Brown. 

C.  Wentworth  Hunt. 


SCENE  I. 


(Room  in  Hotel  d'  Ellis,  9  P-  »>■     Bro-.m^  alone.) 

Brown—  'Tis  night. 

I  yearn  for  bread ;  but,  oh,  how  vain  to  yearn ! 
Can  man  buy  bread  without  sufficient  dough  ? 
How  crawl  the  hours!     Why  doth  not  Noble  come? 
Two  hours  have  passed,  and  I  have  not  had  food ! 
I  grow  so  faint !     I  sicken !     Study  was 
Not  made  for  man;  but  man  was  made  to  eat. 
(Arises  and  goes  to  window.) 


H.  Croesus  Noble. 
Doc.  Blankenship. 


How  float  the  stars?     I  wonder  if  they  would 

Be  good  to  eat?     I  hear  the  ripple  of 

The  babbling  stream.     Would  that  each  drop 

Were  but  a  fish,  that  I  might  satisfy 

Mv  famished  frame!     I'm  desperate!     I  will 

Have  food !     I  know  that  Noble  hath  the  coin. 

Why  doth  he  not  return?     A  plan  comes  to 

]My  mind.     I  will  away  to  Wentworth  Hunt, 

Where  he  is  poring  over  musty  books. 

And  toils  in  peace,  surround'd  with  coins. 

Which  are  the  price  of  bread. 

(Exit  Broum  and  rushes  to  Memorial.) 

(119) 


SCENE  II. 

(Hunt's  study.     Enter  Brozvn.  hatless,  breathless,  coatless. 
He  falls  oil  his  knees  in  supplication.) 

Brozvn —  Is  thy  heart  stone. 

That  thou  canst  read  these  musty  vohimes  while 
An  Indian  famine  kneels  now  before  thee? 
Lend  me  your  ear,  or  a  dollar.     Are  we 
Not  both  from  Monroe  plains?     Have  I  not  given 
You  shelter  at  my  home,  and  given  you  drink  ? 
And  will'st  thou  nothing  in  return? 

(Hunt  looks  up  from  Trig.) 

Hunt —  Howdy, 

Sir  Want?     Doth  say  thou  art  the  starvedest  man 
That  ever  hit  these  woeful  shores  of  time  i' 
For  a  truth,  have  I  never  gazed  upon 
Such  famine  here  before. 

But  I  must  to 
Mv  blessed  Trig,  return.     Did  not  in  want 
And  dire  distress  Archimedes,  from  those 
Deep  caverns  of  his  mind,  work  out  these  sines 
And  mystic  tangents  ?     Was  it  not  Euclid  — 

(Brozvn  dissolves  in  tears  and  falls  in  anguish  to  the  floor; 
Hunt's  cool,  calculating  heart  is  stirred,  and  he  is  moved 
to  compassion.  He  kneels  before  Brozvn  and  zvhispers 
tlie  all-reviving  zvord,  "Bakery" 

(  120) 


SCENE  III. 

The  Corduroy. 

(Approach  Brozvn  and  Hunt. J 

Brozvn — The  moon  shines  bright.    In  such  a  night  as  this. 
When  the  sweet  winds  did  gently  kiss  the  trees, 
And  they  did  make  no  noise, —  in  such  a  night 
Methinks  the  Ancients  might  have  held  a  great 
And  joyous  feast,  or  Epicurus  had  gone  forth 
To  banquets  where  the  red  wine  flowed  almost 
In  streams,  and  massive  boars  were  served  entire. 

Hunt — In  such  a  night  the  Babylonians  might 
Have  gazed  in  awe  upon  the  starry  skies. 
And  found  therein  both  wondrous  truth  and  laws. 
Deriving  from  the  stellar  sway  vast  planes 
And  distances. 

Brozvn —  In  such  a  night  as  this 

Caesar  might  have  come  from  foreign  conquests ; 
.\nd  they  in  Rome  would  do  him  reverence. 
While  all  about  the  Tiber  were  the  sounds 
Of  revelry  and  festival.     On  such  — 

Hunt — On  such  a  night  did  Archimedes,  all 
Unmindful  of  the  Romans  threatening  him  — 

(Abruptly) 
Say,  Brown,  what  coin  will  all  this  feast  require? 

(Their  footsteps  retreat  in  the  still  night.) 


SCENE  IV. 
Bakery. 

(Hunt,  Brozim  and  Doc.  Blankenship.) 
Hunt  (to  Doc.) — There  sits  a  man  wlio  has  not  tasted 
bread 
For  three  long  hours.     Bring  unto  him  all  that 
He  asks  of  you. 

(Hunt  goes  to  the  front  of  bakery  and  sees  Arable  returning

EDITORIALS 


'THE  task  of  The  Chilhowean  Board  is  finished.  The 
result  of  our  work  is  now  to  be  submitted  to  a  critical 
public.  We  have  found  the  students,  the  Faculty  and  the 
entire  public  in  sympathy  with  our  project,  and  ever  ready 
to  give  us  aid  in  every  possible  way.  The  organizations 
of  the  College  have  been  also  very  loyal  in  their  support  of 
our   work. 

The  establishments  which  have  aided  in  getting  out  the 
present  volume  are  the  following :  Aristo  Studio,  of  ]\Iar>'- 
ville;  Branson's  Studio,  of  Knoxville :  Monfort  &  Co.  (pub- 
lishers), of  Cincinnati,  and  the  Electric  City  Engraving  Com- 
pany, of  Buffalo.     We  commend  these  to  future  Boards  as 


business  houses  where  the  best  interests  of  the  patrons  are 
carefully  guarded. 

%         :f:         ^f:         :1c 

In  an  especial  way  we  owe  a  debt  of  gratitude  to  Mr 
Steinmetz,  our  business  manager.  He  has  filled  the  place 
left  vacant  by  the  late  Mr.  Vaught,  and  by  his  business-like 
principles  has  tided  us  over  a  critical  period.  We  passed 
that  crisis,  and  to  a  large  degree  Mr.  Steinmetz  should  have 
the  praise. 

In  regard  to  our  advertisers  —  we  know  them  all  as 
honest  men,  and  we  cheerfully  recommend  them  to  our 
readers.

But  little  or  no  fuss,  blow,  or  brag 
is   made   about   our   stock   or  way  of 
doing  business,  but   the  fact  remains 
that  we   carry  an   immense  stock   of 
goods,  and  this  includes  the  dainties. 
Our   goods    are    bought    from    head- 
quarters— the  i:ianufacturer  or  the  im-

that  do  the  talking.     When  the  "Sen-
