DEDICATION of "1910 RAVELINGS"
"GREATER MONMOUTH"
Strong- mother of a mighty race.
Who standest crowned with queenly grace,
Enthroned upon thine ancient place,
We how in love to thee.
( )'er all the earth extends thy sway
Thy sons and daught.rs far away,
< )n distant plain, by foreign hay.
Still turn in love to thee.
Thy elder sons bring gifts of gold,
As tribute for their debt of old,
When thou didst life to them unfold.
This is their gift to thee.
We of the present may not bring
Wealth of earth at thy feet to fling,
From wealth of spirit must we sing.
To show our love to thee.
The reddest blood of youth we took
And splashed it freely o'er this book
( )ur life to mirror like a brook.
This is our gift to thee.

MONMOUTH COLLEGE
DEAR to every classical heart is the story of the heroism and loyalty of the
Athenians in the brave days of old when Xerxes and his Persian host laid
waste the Attic plain.
Driven from their homes, their citv burned, and their temple desecrated,
they sought refuge in their "wooden walls" and bravely renewed the struggle
against a cruel fate. No time was lost in fruitless repining. At once they joined
their sister states in an effort to check the triumphant course of the common
enemy. But when their leader ventured to suggest a plan of action, his rivals
reproached him with the fall of his own city and tauntingly reminded him that
he was a "man without a country." Themistocles replied : "Athens is here in her
ships."
And the real Athens, under his wise leadership, won the victory, rebuilt the
citv, fortified the harbor and made possible the Greater Athens of the Periclean
Age, enriching the world with her philosophy and art
"Historv repeats itself." The Monmouth College that bad so endeared her-
self to the hearts of her constituents during her fifty years of existence, must
prove her right to maintain herself in the educational world by her ability to rally
her forces in the face of disaster and seeming defeat. She has done so. The
founders and pioneer faculty had builded a college that was not bounded by the
blackened, tottering walls on her Acropolis, but was enshrined in the hearts of her
students and friends.
Everv son and daughter proved loyal, and her Themistocles, "with faith tri-
umphant o'er his fears," felt no hesitancy in making large demands at the Council
Board, for well was he assured that Monmouth College, though homeless, was
"here in her ships."
The victory has been won. Monmouth is rebuilt, her cords lengthened, her
stakes strengthened, her capacity enlarged, her influence extended, her outlook
broadened, her responsibilities deepened.

Not in ;ui\ spirit of sclf-gratulation is this volume dedicated to the Greater
Monmouth by loyal students who helped man the boats in the days of her wan
derings, but because it lias been permitted them to bear a part in rendering pos-
sible the coming Periclean Age of their Alma Mater.
Monmouth: A centre of the past of time
And rest of earth thou art : and at thy birth
Methinks the heav'ns bent low. From heart to earth
Thy walls were carved. From ev'ry distant clime
Come gifts. The lore of ages past is thine.
And all their store of art and thought and worth:
The spark divine that on lime's dawn gleamed forth.
Since grown to flame, upon thee full doth shine.
Heir of the ages thou! Yet golden domes
Ma\ throw far back into the void the light
( )f day : within the altar-fires c infine.
Thy newer halls. ( ) Monmouth, are but homes
\\ herein the thought of man may grow more bright
For comingf men. Thus he thou Wisdom's shrine.

PREP
MONMOUTH COLLEGE
SONG OF THE PREPS
We Are the Beginning of All Things
The patronizing Freshman
Who thinks himself adept
In college ways, forgets the days
When he, too, was a prep.
The self-sufficing Sopfomore
Who thinks that Old M. C.
Was planned for him and manned for him.
He, too. was once as we.
The enterprising Junior
Who makes things work his way,
( )nce got the start to play his part
As we get ours to-day.
The calm and stately Senior
Well learned in wisdom *s wa\ s,
Megan to dream that Senior scheme
'Way back in prephood days.
And each wise faculty member
Who climbs the platform step
liegan the race for that high place
When be was just a prep.
We are the beginning of all things :
( )ur aims will lead us high.
We're preps to-day — we'll not so stay.
We'll be more bye and bye.

WHEN the fall term opened, the faculty and towns-people were amazed and
astonished by the largest Freshman class that had ever entered Mon-
mouth College. Either the upper classmen were so astonished at our
vast numbers, or were wise enough to let well enough alone, for they allowed
the hazing custom to become one of the forgotten arts.
At the very beginning we broke all college precedent by holding a social
during the first two weeks of school. We also responded to the polite invitation
from the class of 1911 to attend the Street Carnival, and escorted our hosts home
from the "hydrant" on stretchers. For the sake of the Sophomores, we dislike to
say anything concerning the Pole Scrap, and will pass over it with the remark that
their colors were down in as quick a time as if there were no defenders. The
upper classmen went away disappointed, sorry that they had got up in time for
breakfast.
On our next social gathering, certain people were so terrified at our numbers
that the combined police force of the city and rural districts were called out to
arrest us.
After raising so much disturbance, things quieted down, and we proceeded to
earn the majority of "A's" that were given in the fall term. However, during this
period of quietness, a yellow streak appeared one morning through the '11 on the
Auditorium, and severa 1 weeks after several of our number were made full-
fledged members of Doctor's Probation Class.
But the chief event of the year was the 32nd banquet. We came to college
intent on reviving that ancient custom, and at high noon on that all-important day
the loyal members of the class gathered to celebrate the birthday of the Father
of our Country ! Such hardiness has never before displayed itself, for we attend-
ed two banquets on that day. Even then, our enthusiasm and our representative,
Wm. Lytle, surpassed all other classes.
On the athletic field the class of 1912 again shows its superiority, for three
of its members proved to be among the most efficient men on the squad.
Such are the annals of the Freshman class. Surpassed by none, renowned
above all others in numbers, in athletics and in knowledge.

MONMOUTH COLLEGE
SOPHOMORE HISTORY
THEY were two jolly, care-free boys who had gone into grandmother's attic
to while away a rainy afternoon.
"Well, who knows anything about this? What do you suppose this
box contains?"
"The boys had found an old graphophone tucked away under the eaves.
Spiders had woven their nets about it. The dust had sprinkled the gaudy horn
with fantastic irregularity. Beside it were cylinders, some of them worn smooth
in places. Just the material for an experiment.
The boys, after various flying trips down the stairs in quest of needed infor-
mation as to the workings of the device, soon had the machine in working order.
"Now for a tune." Carefully they slipped the record in place, adjusted the
pin, and the tune began. Curiosity, wonder, and absolute astonishment stole over
the faces of the listeners. Then, pell mell down the stairs they rushed, to return
in a few moments with their grandmother safely in tow, for she was to explain
the strange story the graphophone told.
"Boys, you have brought to light a page of my college history. Let us listen
to what it tells."
She adjusted the record, and together they waited while the dusty ghost
spoke its message into their ears.
"Buzz Sophomore History, Class of 1911. Again the historian has
come, and asks that the activities of one more college year be placed on record. As
we pause for a moment and look back over half of our college career and recall
the fame and honor which has been ours, we cannot help saying, 'Fortunate, in-
deed, was Old Monmouth when the class of 1911 entered the portals of her
famous halls.'
Stop and ask yourself the question, 'Would we have had this new, modern,
up-to-date M. C. if the class of '11 had not kept before them their motto, 'Loy-
alty?' Did not Old Monmouth go up in smoke only two months after 1911 had
entered ? But, never did the thought of leaving occur to this class. Rather, we
were glad of the opportunity to give our assistance.
At present in numbers we are few in comparison with those who are this year
serving their apprenticeship to our class, but oh, the quality of the Sophomore
class ! Of intellectual, moral, and physical ability we furnish a substantial per-
centage. Some say that in athletics we are selfish. It does appear so, when we
note that the present basket oall team consists of Sophomores only.
Now to those who think our sole ambition is to 'do stunts' in Chapel, we
would answer that this is only a diversion to while away the idle moments after
the strenuous labors of the class room, and it is only meet that we should make
merry and give vent in some way to our pent up energy. Moreover, the fact that
our color shower fell upon the heads of our friends, the Seniors, gave but happy
significance to the occasion.
But, above all, we have been noted from the very first for our peaceful dis-
position. Such respect did we have for Doctor's feelings that on Feb. 22, 1908,
we buried that time-honored Freshman Banquet 'for the time being.' However,
it did not remain long in its comatose condition. For, this year it has come to life,
and we again displayed our amiable disposition by allowing the Freshmen to ban-
quet in undisturbed repose, all for the sake of our beloved President. True has
been the text taken so reverentlv by our 'Deacon' one year ago — 'The Freshman
Banquet is not dead, but sleepeth ; it will rise again.'
And now, for the especial benefit of the Juniors, we, the class of 1911.
prophesy that within two years, when they are 'way back over the Campus,' thev
will see us no longer as 'grafting Sophomores,' but as 'pining Seniors.' "

MONMOUTH COLLEGE
JUNIOR HISTORY
THREE years ago our fathers sent forth to Monmouth College a new class,
wonderful in brilliancy, and dedicated to the proposition that greater than
all others is the Class of 1910. Its members have now finished the third
year of their course, having tested and proven that a class so dedicated and so
brilliant cannot but excel. We would now express our appreciation of those who
here gave their all that their college might gain renown.
It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this, yet in a larger sense
our appreciative efforts must be in vain. The distinguished Juniors, male and
female, who struggled here, have won a reputation which it is far above our pow-
er to ameliorate. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here,
but it can never forget what they did here. It is rather for us to be dedicated to
the unfinished work which the Class of 1910 has thus far so nobly advanced.
It is for us to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us ; that from
the celebrated and illustrious members of this class we take increased devotion to
that cause for which they gave the full measure of devotion ; that we here highly
resolve that those eminent men and women shall not have lived in vain ; that the
Class of 1910 shall have an even greater brilliancy, and that this class, the chosen
of the people and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC
ALTHOUGH music was not incorporated into the scheme at the founding of
Monmouth College, through the effort of its able director, T. Merrill
Austin, and his well chosen corps of teachers, it has won for itself an en-
viable place as an educational factor.
The aim of the Conservatory in the several courses offered, is to give
thorough training, both technically and theoretically, thus giving students the
foundation and inspiration for continued study. The courses in Voice. Musical
History, and Interpretation are under the personal direction of Mr. Austin, who is
known as one of the best voice builders in the state. Mr. Austin is also director
of the Choral Society, a permanent organization, comprising the best trained
voices from the school and the town. It is their custom each year to give a series
of concerts known as "The May Festival," which offers an opportunity to the
students to hear some of the best soloists of the country and an orchestra of good
standing. From time to time artists' recitals are interspersed. This year it was
our pleasure to hear Otto Meyer, the violinist, and Alexander Russell, the pianist.
The Piano Department is under the direction of Miss Emily L. Thomas,
whose artistic performances attest to her true musicianship. The pupils gradu-
ating from her classes also prove her worth as an instructor. The Violin Depart-
ment, with Mrs. Hobart as its director, has been steadily growing, and the ex-
ponents of this department attest to the excellent work that is being accomp-
lished. Mrs. Hobart's artistic playing as a violinist has won for her the highest
commendation. Air. Frank Shaw, as head of the Department of Theory, Organ,
and Advanced Piano, is a strong factor in the teaching force. As an organist he
has unusual ability. Miss Katherine Hanna, who has been associated with the
Conservatory since its founding, has the happy faculty of interesting pupils under
her charge. Miss Marie Kettering, assistant teacher in Piano, and Miss Nelle
Porter and Mr. Royal Hughes, assistant teachers in Voice, deserve the highest
commendation for thoroughness in their teaching and artistic work in public per-
formances. The Normal Course, which is under the supervision of Miss Helen
Moore, prepares pupils for teaching music in the public schools and is a very im-
portant adjunct to the regular courses offered by the Conservatory.
Tt is a mutual advantage to College and Conservatory students to be so
closelv allied, and the benefits accruing from such a union should be considered
by those contemplating a musical or literary education.

Hobart as director. The first concert given by the organization was in the
year 1904; Since that time the Orchestra has been steadily growing in
numbers, and at the present consists of twenty-six members. Through the persis-
tent efforts of its director, it has become the strongest organization that has ever
represented Monmouth College Conservatory of Music. Their last concert, given
Feb. 11, 1909, was a decided success and proved beyond a doubt the efficiency of
its director. The music presented was of a high order and was rendered with
finish and precision. They were assisted by Miss Jane White soprano ; Mr.
Royal Hughes, baritone, and Mr. Ray Smith, violinist, all of whom were re-
ceived with much enthusiasm.
The Orchestra has become a permanent and progressive organization of the
school and has awakened much interest among the musical people of the town
and college.

JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET
Tl I E first strictly college affair to be held in the banquet room of Wallace
Hall was the banquet given by the class of 1910 to the Seniors on the 21st
of May, 1909. The affair was in the nature of a base ball game — the dec-
orations, menu cards, and toast program all carrying out this idea. The tables
were arranged in the shape of a base ball diamond and in the center the players'
masks were piled up, filled with flowers.
The wants of the inner man were thoroughly satisfied by the elaborate ban-
quet which was served, and the excellent toast program which followed contrib-

MONMOUTH COLLEGE BANQUET
Anew way of spending the twenty-second of February has been discovered in
Monmouth College. The first Monmouth College banquet was held in the
banquet room of Wallace Hall on the evening of the twenty-second of
February, nineteen hundred and nine. As the guests arrived they were piloted
over the new building and given an opportunity to see Wallace I lall in all its
splendor.
A pleasant hour was spent in this way, after which the guests adjourned to
the banquet hall. Between courses the hearts of the guests, both town and college
people, were cheered by the class songs and yells given by the various classes.
After dinner the guests listened to a fine toast program which was peculiarly tit-
ting to such an occasion. At an "early" hour the guests took their leave, with one
accord pronouncing the first .Monmouth College banquet a decided success.

THE MAY PARTY OF 1908
MAY parties in the past have been pleasant, that of 1908 was perfect. For
the first time in the history of the festal day, the gods were all propitious
and from the setting- sun even Apollo smiled his benediction on the
campus.
The line of march, including all the college girls, started at six o'clock from
the Library. The Archer girls, heading the column, were followed by the Ivy
Chain and Violet girls, then by the twenty-four Maypole dancers and the chorus,
who formed an aisle through which the queen. Miss Leila Logan, and her attend-
ant. Miss Edith Shields, with the flower girls, passed to the throne. At the foot
of the steps the queen knelt to receive her crown from the hands of lur small at-
tendant, Miss Pomelia Donaldson.
An elaborate drill by all the girls was followed bv a song from the chorus
around the throne. The Maypole dance, as is customary, completed the cere-
monies. The perfection of the arrangements proved the efficiency of the manager.
Miss Lucile White and her assistant. Miss Madge McLain.
The white dresses of the girls gleaming against the dark back-ground of the
trees made the scene one of unusual beauty. The music of the chorus, written
for the occasion, was in perfect harmony with the spirit of the day, while the glory
of the sunset seemed but a fitting climax to the whole.

tion of editor in chief of the Oracle in a most
creditable manner. He has appeared before
Monmouth audiences a number of times and
has shown marked ability as a speaker.
MR. ARTHUR SPRAGUE, whose honor
it is to represent Philo as Orator, has already
won for himself a name on the contest plat-
form. He has twice represented the col'.ege
in the annual Monmouth-Coe debates and this
year was leader of the team in that debate.
He is a man of strong personality and ex-

on Monmouth's athletic held, and in the com-
ing literary contest will no doubt display the
same qualities of energy and determination
that have made him a winner on the gridiron.
MR. DALTON GALLOWAY well merits
the position which he holds as Philo's De-
claimer. He has always been a faithful per-

While Monmouth had but six delegates at the contest, they made up in en-
thusiasm what they lacked in numbers.
Mr. McAllister's oration on the subject of "The New Humanism" was a mas-
terful appeal to the American citizen for a broader vision of unselfish service for
humanity. He delivered it in the same clear and powerful manner which has
always characterized his work as a platform speaker and Monmouth College is
justly proud to have been represented by a man of his ability.

IN one of the closest and best preliminary oratorical contests held on the Mon-
mouth platform for several years. Air. James K. Quay was the victor, winning;
the honor of representing Monmouth College at the Inter-collegiate Contest
next fall. As this contest is to be held here next year, peculiar honor as well as
interest is attached to the event. The last time that Monmouth won first place
was six years ago, when the contest was held under local auspices. It is hoped
that such success will be repeated, and with Mr. Quay as representative, that hope
merges into a measure of assurance.
Of all the orators that have graced Monmouth's forensic platform. Mr.
Quay is one of the most polished. Masterful in his oratorical conception, well-
trained in his delivery, endowed with a powerful voice, and above all, gifted with
a personality at once strong and pleasing, Monmouth College looks forward with
confidence to Mr. Quay's appearance on the next Inter-collegiate Contest.

MONMOUTH-COE DEBATE
ON the evening of March 12th, was held in the'College Auditorium the fif h annual Mon-
mouth-Coe debate. The question was, "Resolved, that present conditions warrant the
retention of the Philippines." W. C. Peck opened the question for Coe and in his speech
showed that although the Philipinos had made great advancement since our occupation there
still America has not yet served her mission in the Philippines, and the Islands should be
retained. Arthur Sprague. the first negative, came forward and hurled a thunderbolt into the
Coe camp. He agreed with everything his opponent had said, that the Philippines should b:
set free when they became capable of self-government. That, however, is not the policy of
retention, but the policy which is now in vogue — temporary occupation.
Coe had anticipated that the negative would argue for the freedom of the Philippines
and instead of answering the negative interpretation they continued to show that the Phil-
ipinos were "physically, religiously and socially incapable of self-government," and at times
their assertions caused a ripple of laughter in the audience.
When the last speaker took his seat there was no question as to the result. The sur-
prise came when Dr. Graham, the presiding officer, announced that one judge had seen fit to
cast his vote for the affirmative.
Much credit is due to the Monmouth team, composed of Sprague, Watt, and Vance, for
their uphill fight and making the interpretation stick. As one of the judges said after the
debate, "That was the most tactful piece of work I ever saw pulled off on the debating plat-
form." Every Monmouth man was at his best and gave an excellent exhibition of platform
work, both in set and extemporaneous speeches.

IOWA WESLEYAN- MONMOUTH
FRESHMAN DEBATE
THE Annual Freshman Debate between Iowa Wesleyan and Monmouth was held on the
evening of March 5th at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. Monmouth was ably represented by
Messrs. Wray Watt, George Rhodes, and Elmer Jackson, three of the strongest mem-
bers of the Freshman class.
Despite the unanimous decision for the affirmative, the contest was interesting and
always in doubt till the last rebuttal was over and the decision counted. The Monmouth
boys had, perhaps, a shade the better of the argument in the main speeches, but the Wes-
leyanites, with the advantage of a faculty coach, and previous debating experience, were
much smoother in their delivery and clearer in rebuttal. These advantages clearly earned
for them the decision. Monmouth's strongest point lay in the keenness with which they
anticipated the line of attack to be used by the affirmative. At times this was so striking thai
both audience and judges gave the negative credit for strong extemporaneous wink in their
main speeches.
For Monmouth, the forcible delivery and clear cut style of the team won the highest
praise from the audience. Though there was a trifle of nervousness, caused by the strange
crowd and strange surroundings, all gave performances very creditable for men in their first
inter-collegiate contest.
After the debate, everyone adjourned to the parlors of the Ladies' Dormitory and a re-
ception was given to the visitors, which made the entire Monmouth delegation forget their
defeat. The general feeling of the Monmouth men who attended the debate was that they
had been royally entertained, and that it would be a pleasure to return both the entertainment
and the defeat at the earliest possible opportunity.

DAUGHTER OF RED WING
A LEGEND
I.
RED WING, Chief of the DakoLis, summoned to his council all his warriors,
wild and brave — defenders of his mighty nation. One by one they came
with noiseless tread and slow. Long they sat and smoked and pondered,
silence like a cloak about them, they made no sign, they gave no token.
Then uprose the subtle Red Wing, drew himself up to his full height, ami
with the eloquence that Mother Nature gives her children, spoke unto his waiting
tribesmen, their fathers' wondrous deeds recounted ; their own courage proudly
vaunted ; boasted of their strength and prowess ; made mention of the foes they'd
slaughtered, of the scalps that they had taken, of the future yet before them, and
their strong undaunted courage. Then the Chippewas, the Dakotas' mortal foes,
he mentioned ; spoke of the wrongs his tribe had suffered by their craft and
cruelty. "Ere the leaves are nipped by winter; ere the snow hides the war-path;
Red Wing and his warriors must slay the knaves and cowards. As lie the dead
oaks of the forest, crushed and broken by the Storm King's blast, low must lie our
crafty foemen. What say my brave and mighty chieftains? I am done. Red
Wing hath spoken."
( irave and dignified and solemn, one by one arose the warriors ; and with
gestures wild signified that the wishes of the Red Wing should be cherished
within their bosoms. Until up leaped a cunning warrior, decked with ponderous
headgear, beneath the shadow of which his bead-like eves gleamed like coals of
fire. '
"Reel Wing has found the Wazikoota never failing," said he to the haughty
chieftain. "He has done his slightest bidding, as his strong right hand has he
been, faithful as his squaw. He has scalped as many foemen as the leaves upon
the oak tree. Yet Red Wing has denied the one boon for which he long has
waited. Wazikoota, the mountain eagle, Wazikoota, the eagle yet untamed, would
have the shy Winona, daughter of the mighty Red Wing. She shall come into his
wigwam, shall bring his wood and water."
And the boon he craved was promised. When the fighting should be ended ;
when the snow had spread its blanket over prairie, over woodland ; and the moon
of snowshoes lit the forest with its pale and silver sheen, then would Wazikoota,
victor, return from the war-path to claim the haughty princess. Red Wing's dear-
est child.
II.
Sad, O sad, was poor Winona ; for in secret she had given all her heart to a
warrior, to a chieftain of the Chippewas. On the green banks of the lakeside
she met her faithful lover, and while all her people slept, gave her vows into his
keeping. He promised that when Autumn walked the forest, when the green was
blended with the crimson, when the grapes hanging over the rock by the water's
edge had purpled and the sumach flamed with scarlet, he would come to claim his
lover. Many, many suns they would flee to the westward, flee from the revenge-
ful Wazikoota, from whom she would be free forever.
Through many long moons Winona waited, — waited hoping, waited fearing,
— till at last the vear was ended. She knew the time was drawing near. Rut
N1NETEEN-TEN RAVELINGS
now the crafty Wazikoota came to claim the wild young spirit ; laden with trophies
and with spoils, came with haughty pride and boasting. Sad. despairing was
Winona. To-morrow she would be the wife of Wazikoota. Dark and dreary
seemed her future.
III.
It was night. Soft, fleecy clouds hung over the thickening gloom of the forest.
Beneath the pale glow of the moon the ghostly shadows fell westward. Winona
heard the gentle call of the night-bird from his leafy cover. Her heart throbs
quickened. Long had she listened for that call ; long had she hearkened for that
signal of her lover.
Softly Winona stole from the wigwam. Swiftly as the wind she hastened
to the trysting place. Frightened as the wild fawn fleeing from fierce wolves she
cast fearful glances back as she hurried to her refuge. At last her lover sprang
to meet her and with soothing words as soft and low as the dove croons to her
nestling bade her leave her fears behind and follow.
They turned into the deeper shadows, and there, floating as a leaf upon the
water, was the white birch canoe. A moment more and their freedom reaching
out through many moons : but. hark ! Too well they know the war cry, the cry
that falls upon their ears. Watchful, jealous Wazikoota like a dog has traced
their foot steps. Out rang his fiendish war cry and from every wigwam hurried
forth the dark-hucd dogs, echoing the piercing war cry. Like wolves upon the
trail they hastened.
Then into the heart so tender, with the love of one dear maiden, straight into
the heart so fearless, flew their deadly, flinty arrows, thick as pears from off the
pine-tree. Through and through they pierced the body till the chords of life were
severed. Dazed with pain and crazed with sorrow, Winona caught her dying
lover, and. as if his weight were but a feather bore him to the rock's bold brow.
On the brink she paused, and turning to her pursuers, scorned the frantic Wazi-
koota, mocked his villainy and cowardice. "Would the crafty Wazikoota follow
the chieftain's daughter?" He who has slain her heart's idol, would he take her
for his own? Wazikoota, coward, weakling, where T go you dare not follow. In
life or death my love and I will still be one."
Then to her heart she clasped the lifeless form of her lover and from the
cliff sprang boldly forward like the passing of a breath.
And the Spirit of the Waters, the Lake Spirit, raised a wave high as the tree-
tops, white with foam from crest to trough, caught the bodies of the lovers, caught
them unto his own bosom, bore them to a grave, calm, peaceful, far from friend,
secure from foeman.

MONMOUTH COLLEGE
MONMOUTH'S LITERARY HALLS
THE "crowning mercy" of Wallace Hall is the four literary halls located on
the third floor. Fit in their purposes and fit in their appointments are they,
to complete the new home of the College. For the center of student activity
in Monmouth College has long rested primarily in the literary organizations. At
all times flourishing, ever ambitious, always rigid in their requirements, they have
developed so as to become an integral part of the life, work, and history of the
College. Their ideals have been lofty, and their attainments have likewise been
high. Their friendly rivalry has been abiding, and has distinctly vitalized the
traditions of the societies.
Inspired with such a past, it became imperative that each society should so
adorn its hall as to suitably represent the peculiar position of the society in college
affairs. And most successfully has each organization labored, until now Monmouth
College throws open to her visitors four literary halls such as are unequalled by
similar halls in any of the colleges of the country ./The design of each is artistic
and harmonious ; and no expense has been spared in carrying out the ideas of the
artist. The halls are spacious, each easily seating two hundred people. The gen-
tlemen's societies in the front of Wallace Hall have each a large audience hall with
adjoining library. In the ladies' halls there are the main halls with adjoining cloak
rooms and kitchens.
Eccritean Hall is located in the southwest quarter. In the front of the room
is the platform extending from a large arched alcove in the center of the wall,
which adds much both to the beauty and acoustics of the room. The prevailing
color in the decoration is tan, blending with green. The ceiling, with its oak-leaf
design is especially attractive. The carpet is particularly handsome, in tan and
green corresponding to wall decorations, and was the gift of Hon. T. 1'. Shouts,
an alumnus of the society.
Philo hall is located in its former relative position, the southeast corner of the
third story. The general design is in the mission style. The loss of nearly all of
their furnishings in the fire required the society to entirely rehabilitate itself ; thus
allowing them to work out a harmony in decorations and furniture. Besides the
central arch in the front of the room are smaller arches and alcoves on each side.
The frescoing is a blend of brown and champagne-color for the ceiling, with an
addition of light green on the walls, all heavier green and brown for the base. The
rug is green with brown admixture. The floor surrounding the rug is laid in oak.
The chandeliers are of hammered brass and are very beautiful.
A. B. L. Hall is in the northwest corner. The decorations are in an attractive
shade of brown, and the design is very pleasing. The carpet is in green with
enough blending of brown to harmonize with the decorations. The' lights are es-
pecially pleasing, and are distinctive in being more like hanging or ceiling lights
than chandeliers.
Aletheorean Hall is located in the northeast part of the floor, where the milder
light gives especial attractiveness to the room. Here the decorative design is in
green, both in the frescoing and in the carpet. The color of both is striking with-
out being gaudy, and solid without being heavy.
The halls of the gentleman's societies were opened with suitable dedicatory
exercises. Eccritean dedication occurred on the evening of March 5t'h, when
an excellent program was carried out by the members and alumni of the society.
On April 9th, Philo dedication took place, a large audience being present to listen
to the program and attend the ceremony formally dedicating the hall to the work
of the society and opening it to the public. The ladies' societies, being delayed in
the completion of their halls, will postpone their dedicatory exercises until the end
of the term.

THE TEST OF TRUE FRIENDSHIP
ONE evening-, just a week after college had opened at Harding, an important
faculty meeting was being held in the President's office. The evening
sun shone in through the west windows on the stern faces of the faculty
members. It was evident that some question of grave importance was being dis-
cussed. Professor Brown was speaking in his slow deliberate voice:
"Five hundred dollars worth of platinum has disappeared from the labora-
tory in the past year, as we all know. We certainly cannot have the same thing
happen this year. Dr. Harvev, perhaps you have some other suggestions that
will aid us in finding the thief. We arc greatly discouraged."
Dr. Harvey, as president of the college, hesitated before replying. He real-
ized that the time had come for some definite action to be taken. Yet much care
must be observed that no mistake be made. In the past year since the theft had
been discovered the secrecy of the watch upon the students had enabled the thief,
whoever he might be. to elude them. The honor of the college was at stake. Dr.
Harvey loved his students but for the sake of the boy himself, something must
be done, and there seemed to be only one alternative. His grave kindly face
looked sterner than usual as he replied sadly :
"Yes, it has come to this we must admit. As the only course left to us, with
the consent of the faculty I shall write to Jackson, the head of a well-known de-
tective agency in Chicago, this evening. As he and I were bovhood friends. I be-
lieve it will be possible to conduct the search under a seal of secrecy until the
thief is discovered."
The other members of the faculty gave th^ir consent, and after attending to
remaining business, the faculty meeting was adjourned.
A crowd of the old college boys were discussing the new fellows one even-
ing in Hal Brown's room.
"Say, fellows, young Staley strikes me as a jolly good fellow. Hardly see
why he chose this college either, as he is a Kappa Gamma Chi man and there is
no chapter of that frat here," said young Chalmers.
"Perhaps it is special work that he thinks he can get better here. But he is
undoubtedly a fine fellow," one of Chalmers' companions responded.
"Yes, he is, and by the way," Chalmers spoke rather thoughtfully, "I have
a notion to share my room with him this year. Coming late as he has all the
extra rooms are gone, and he is having a hard hunt. Believe he would make a
jolly room-mate."
His decision gained a hearty response from his fellows. Among the boys
Chalmers was known as a "good old scout." not liking work any too well, though
a brilliant student, especially along scientific lines, if he chose to apply himself to
study. He was a handsome lad, and loved by his friends, who were only too
willing to condone his faults because of his charming personality. At times he
seemed to lose himself in a sort of revery ; then one noticed that he had a rather
weak chin, and his eyes lost their bright, joyous glance and became clouded with
a sad, haunted look, as if he feared something-, he scarcely knew what.
Staley and Chalmers soon became fast friends. Staley was the stronger,
more studious character, just giving to Chalmers the support he needed to make
him an all around fine fellow, and gradually, but surelv their friendship grew
stronger. They came to be familiarly known to their fellows as "David and
Jonathan." However, the fact that Stalev was here as a secret detective
sometimes preyed upon his mind. He felt that he was sailing under false colors.
NINETEEN-TEN RAVELINGS
to a certain extent, for his real work here was the part of a spy. Mis chief, how-
ever, had wished him to search for the thief in this way, as the only possible way
to solve the mystery. No one knew him for what he, in truth, was, but his duty
lay to his chief — his masquerade as a student was only a means to an end. Still
the mystery seemed no nearer solution. Perhaps the search would prove fruitless,
though at this his pride rebelled.
One morning he was sitting in a corner of the laboratory, which was screened
from the main part of the room, lie was in deep thought, going over and over
the small clues he had been able to obtain. So far these had proved fruitless, —
what could be done next? After a time he was attracted by a slight noise in the
room. Almost carelessly he glanced out from behind the screen thinking one of
the boys had come to finish his work. Then he felt that his eyes must be deceiv-
ing him, lie rubbed them and started again, lie seemed paralyzed, unable to
move or cry out. It could not be — it could not be — his very soul seemed to cry
out in agony over and over in his ears; while someone with bent form, and shifty,
crafty eyes, after a keen stealthy glance around the room, crept slowly to the safe
where the platinum was kept, took his spoil and left the room.
Stale}' sat as if turned to stone for a time that seemed to him eternities. At
last with shaking limbs and wide, unseeing eyes staring from his white face, he
slowly stumbled from the room. At the door he met Dr. Harvey face to face.
At sight of Staley the Doctor's face grew grave.
"Good heavens. Staley, what is it — have you seen a ghost? I lave you — is
it possible that you have the thief? Come." he added, gently, "Come with me,"
and led him into his office.
At first Staley was not disposed to tell the story, but Dr. Harvey knew with-
out words that the sorrow over the discovery could only be because the thief was
Chalmers, his friend. Staley was so honest and upright in every particular that
he felt the disgrace of his friend in a very bitter way. He loved him — how much,
he was only beginning to realize. As Dr. Harvey looked at the drawn face of the
young man before him the thought of the lamentation of David of old came to
his mind, "( )h, Absalom, my son, my son Absalom ! would to God I had died for
thee." Gradually Stalev was able to realize that onlv through Dr. Harvey's as-
sistance could they help Chalmers in any way. Again and again Staley repeated,
"I can not understand it — it is utterly impossible. Little did I think this would
bring me such sorrow. Dr. Harvey, he must be crazy — he could not do it — it is
not like him."
Dr. Harvey had been thinking deeply. It was evident in Stalev's present
state of mind that something must be done immediately. He wrote a note to
Chalmers which he sent by the office boy, asking him to come to the office as
there was something about which they must see him as soon as possible. Chal-
mers came in shortly and looked anxiously at the Doctor. Then his eyes fell upon
Staley. At first his face brightened as it always did at the sight of bis chum, then
as he caught the expression on the two faces before him, he turned pale. He
again searched each face eagerly. Staley in his present state of mind, for the first
time since the boys had been chums, could not meet his friend's eves. Dr. Har-
vey, regarding him sternly, yet sadly, said in a grave voice:
"Chalmers, if you can tell us how this has all happened it will be much bet-
ter for every one concerned. We will do all in our power for you. but it will be
much better if you will confess to us — " But he stopped at the sight of the ex-
pression on Chalmers' face. At first Chalmers had stared at him in bewilderment,
then as he instinctively recognized the presence of some serious trouble, he leaned
for a moment on the mantel to steadv himself. His eves were full of agony and
MONMOUTH COLLEGE
hopeless fear. It had come at last, what he had always felt, hanging over him,
with an almost unreasoning dread of the time it should fall and shut him in the
darkness of alienation of friends and all he held most dear. Must they know —
must he always he as one apart from his fellows — an outsider? Oh, the horror of
it ! His mother had told him of many things in that long, long night of agony
before she died. He could yet feel her dear hand on his head as if it were yester-
day instead of years ago, and the sorrow in her dear eyes as she told him of
the stain that must always hang over him, her dearest, her only son — the taint of
insanity. It might not come — it might not — yet — her dying prayer was that her
son might be spared this withering blight.
He came back to the present with a start as he realized that Dr. Harvev and
Staley were waiting for his explanation. Then he turned to Dr. Harvey with a
white-faced dignity that sat strangely on this handsome, impetuous boy they loved.
"Dr. Harvey, will you please explain what you meant by the words you have
just spoken?"
Almost in bewilderment, Dr. Harvey answered, "We have missed platinum
from the laboratory, now and then, for the past year. This year we decided that
it was necessary to take serious steps to find out how it had disappeared. Stalev
was here for that purpose. To-day," he added, "Staley saw you enter the labor-
atory and leave with the platinum in your possession. What have you to say for
yourself?"
He had felt it coming, and now faced it unflinchingly with fine courage. His
eyes were unnaturally dilated and Dr. Harvey never afterward forgot the expres-
sion of suffering on the face before him as Chalmers said, "Dr. Harvey, I give
you my word of honor that I have no recollection whatever of — of — ," he hesi-
tated, "taking this platinum. I have only one explanation to make — ," his voice
broke for a minute, then he continued, "i have sensations at times, that make me
think there are times I act without my knowledge or consent." Then he suddenly
turned to Staley with a pitiful longing of fear in his face. "Dick, oh Dick!"
Here Dr. Harvey interrupted him, both saw that there was some tragedy of which
they were yet ignorant.
"My boy. my boy, wait a little, then perhaps it will be easier to tell."
He sank into a chair and bowed his head on the desk for a minute, then he
again went on with his story, telling them how he had felt that the time was com-
ing when he would be obliged to tell someone. Little by little they learned the
story from his lips ; how his mother had told him before her death of her fear for
him ; how he had always watched for symptoms of that malady. For years no
sign of it had appeared, and he had never been able to know with certainty
whether or not he was right as to his fear, though in the last three .years he would
sometimes pass hours that he could not account for afterwards.
Both Dr. Harvey and Staley realized that this was no ordinary case and could
be judged from no common standpoint. That afternoon Dr. Harvey called a noted
specialist and had him give Chalmers a careful examination. As the specialist
was leaving Staley accidentally overheard him say: "In this case the inherited
stain of insanity has undoubtedly resulted in these short spells during which he
has a kleptomaniac's desire for stealing. As you say, he was interested in science,
I see nothing extraordinary in the fact that the malady has caused him to obtain
platinum even without his own knowledge or consent. Yes," he said, in answer
to a question by Dr. Harvey. "I believe it may be possible to cure him permanently.
Dr. Shawl of New York is a personal friend of mine and he can give you the
very best medical advice and treatment for this trouble. If someone can be with
NINETEEN-TEN RAVELINGS
him constantly and devote himself entirely to his care, his mind mav be kept
from this trouble and it may be possible to obtain the best results."
The evening was spent very quietly by the two boys. Chalmers was nervous
and excitable, and constantly either walked the floor or sat dejectedly by the
table with a certain hopelessness in his attitude that touched Stalev's heart. Staley
was considering the problem over and over in his mind. The expression of love
and pity in his eyes showed plainer than words his devotion to his friend. At last
he persuaded Chalmers to retire. Towards morning he had dosed off into a light,
fitful sleep. Stale}' was just beginning to lose himself in partial unconsciousness
when he felt his friend rise in bed, crawl stealthily out and start to leave the room.
Guessing rightly that the previous day's experience and strain had caused Chal-
mers to unconsciously repeat his actions of the day before, Staley arose, dressed
and followed him.
Chalmers entered the laboratory as one who walks in his sleep, went directly
to the safe, hesitated a moment there, then walked out of the room and to another
part of the building, where he stopped in front of an old closet that had not been
used for years. He sighed and passed his hand over his brow in a distressed
manner, and then, turning, went back to his room, and to bed. Staley immediately
saw through the mystery. Chalmers was able to work the combination of the safe
quite readily in his unnatural condition of the day before. Xow it failed to open
for him though he repeated the actions he followed during; these periods.
When morninsr came. Stale}- saw Dr. Harvey and told him of the night's ex-
perience. On searching they found the platinum in the old closet. Later Staley
told Dr. Harvey of his decision.
"I have neither parents nor kindred that have any claim on me. With a few
years of careful attention under Dr. Shawl's care. Rex may be again his normal
self. At least, there is a chance, and I wish him to have a'l the assistance it is in
my power to give."
"Rut, my boy, have you considered all that means? It will mean the giving
up of vour profession while you are with him, constant care and amusement to
keep his mind off his trouble ; you will need to sink your own individuality in
caring for him. for this is the worst of all illnesses."
"Yes, I have considered all that. We have talked it over. He has property in
abundance so need not be handicapped bv lack of means. And as to his care I do
not consider that a sacrifice. Rex. is my dearest friend, and if my life would bring
him an unclouded mind again, or lessen his suffering in any way. I would not
count it a sacrifice — for him." he added softly.
Dr. Harvey understood, but he could scarcely trust his voice to speak as he
bade the two boys good bye when they left for the city. As the train was lost in
the distance those standing by wondered when thev saw the white-haired old man.
with tears in his eyes, turn away murmuring: "Thy love to me was wonderful,
passing the love of women '"

THE DEATH OF THE OLD
Written cm the evening following the burning of Monmouth College Main Building,
Nov. 14th, 1908.
I.
What are these headlines which startle onr sight ?
"Monmouth College is burned ! Lies in ashes to-night !"
Can fire burn .spirit? Can flames quench the mind?
The old building is gone ; its days are behind.
Let us look toward the future ; let us seek, we shall find.
The glory of Monmouth is not in her halls ;
Her blood flows in her students, and not in her walls.
'Tis in hearts that are loyal, in brains that are keen ;
'Tis in sons who are sturdy, who scorn what is mean,
In a faculty worthy, and a banner that's clean.
Where one building has fallen, a greater may rise.
What is left of our college is the part that we prize.
She has a work yet unfinished, a destiny high ;
There's an end to accomplish, a need to supply;
There's a God in the Heaven, on His help we rely.
"Monmouth College in ashes?" Look closer and see
The true college just rising to do and to be.
The work set before her, has been nobly begun ;
The race to the finish, shall as nobly be run.
Till the Great Judge at the finish declares it "Well done."
THE BIRTH OF THE NEW
li.
Ring ! Ring the bells, Monmouth ! Your dream has come true.
'Tis the day of your triumph ; 'tis a new birth for you.
Joy beams from our faces ; joy swells in each voice ;
Then ring the bells. Monmouth, 'tis your day to rejoice.
Regret, mellowed and softened, has faded away
Into sadness that sweetens, not darkens, this day.
For there was loyalty, Monmouth, in more hearts than you dreamed.
In those days when the pall of the smoke-clouds still seemed
To have blackened your future as they blackened the walls
Which your work had made holy. For a moment, there falls
A memory-filled hush, o'er our banqueting scene ;
And our tears drop, a tribute to the things that have been.
Not in sorrow we weep for the days that have gone,
Days well spent are more precious than days yet to come ;
For yesterday's struggle brings a victory to-dav.
And leaves sinews and strength for the tasks which yet may
Make the now unmarked future a crown for the past.
Let your triumph to-night be your latest, not last,
Let to-morrow bring work, not a burden that's light ;
We ask not easy victory, but for courage to fight.
The new day dawns with new hopes, new rewards, and new strife.
Then, Hail Greater Monmouth! as you launch on this life.
Which, broader and deeper, is flowing for you.
May your pilots be faithful ; your charts all be true ;
May the storms from without find all staunchness within.
And your course never waver from the one that has been
Yours all these years. Then we'll lift up our voice.
And we'll ring all the bells, ring the bells and rejoice.

REVIEW OF FOOT BALL SEASON
1908
WITH the Knox game on November 14th the foot ball season of 1908 came to a prema-
ture close. Two games remained to be played, one with Beloit College and one
with Lake Forest College, but the injury to McKitiick in the Knox game made
further contests inadvisable and Beloit and Lake Forest consented to cancel their games.
Although the team of 190S was not a championship one, it was one of the best fighting
teams that Monmouth ever turned out. Game to the core, the boys fought their very best in
every game. Although defeated by Illinois, Purdue, Cornell, and Knox, the team never quit.
'Ihey fought till the last whistle blew and every point scored against them was hard earned.
With seven men playing their first year of college ball and with the strongest colleges oi
the middle West in addition to two of the "big eight" universities on the schedule, a hercu-
lean task faced the team. The lack of experienced men was one of the greatest hindrances
of the season's work. Although light and inexperienced the team always played a strong
defensive game, but was not able to show as strong a front on the offensive.
The season opened with the Illinois University game at Champaign on Oct. 3rd, which
was won by Illinois 17 to 6 only after a magnificent struggle. The Daily lllini, commenting
on the game, said of the Monmouth team: "The ideal Illinois spirit is just such as Mon-
mouth showed, and we honor her accordingly. Come again, Monmouth." The next game was
with Purdue at Lafayette, Indiana, on Oct. 17th. The Purdue Exponent in speaking of this
game so well describes it that we quote it in part : "The score was 30 to 0, and the game wa3
well played. In fact it was one of the best foot ball games that has been played on Stuart
Field for several years. The Monmouth team played well; they tried the forward pass on
several occasions to good advantage. Their strength lay in their successful blocking of Pur-
due's forward passes and in their end runs. They played hard, with grit and energy, and as
a result the contest was a splendid exhibition of the foot ball game. Although the large score
would not indicate it, the game was as interesting as has been seen on Stuart Field for many
a day. At times the spectators simply went wild and it looked like a scene from the time
when Purdue could hold her own with the best of them. We are glad that athletic relations
are begun with Monmouth and look for other games with them when opportunity is fav-
orable." These words, coming from two of the big eight universities, speak well for the
light of the Monmouth team.
Of the college games of the season, Monmouth won two and lost two. Normal was
taken into camp on October 24th by the score of 11 to o in a good game on Monmouth
field. Millikin University was defeated at Decatur by the score of 12 to 4 on Oct. 31st in one
of the best games of the season. Millikin put up a great fight, for with her record of vic-
tories over Normal and Knox she had visions of the state championship. The worst defeat
of the season was had at the hands of Cornell College, — the near champs of Iowa. Cornell
won by the large score of 42 to 6 in a hard fought game wherein luck was with Cornell all
the way. Cornell had the better team, but the score hardly represents the relative merit of
the two teams. The last game of the season was won by Knox 6 to 0 after a magnificent
fight by both teams. It was one of those games that goes to the team that plays without a
mistake and is able to take advantage of the misplays of the opponent. Knox seized her
opportunity to score on a partially blocked punt that should have been to Monmouth's ad-
vantage.
The state championship was won by De Paul of Chicago, with Lake Forest in second
place.

BASKET BALL REVIEW
1909
WHEN the basket ball season opened with the Perm College game last December, few
there were who looked for another championship team. Smith and Cunningham of
the 'us team were both graduated in June and Moorehead early in the season found
it necessary to give up the game to give more time to Irs studies. Monmouth was fortunate,
however, in having" two of the strongest of last year's players in Turnbull and Grier around
which to build the present team; with these men as a nucleus a leant was developed that all
hut repeated the record of the '08 team.
Tumbull, Grier, F. Johnson. E. Johnson, and Richards were the men thai wore the
red and white for Monmouth. Of the eleven games played, seven were won and four lost.
Of the Illinois colleges that were played, a clean record of six games won and one lost
placed the team in the running for the championship honors of the state. The team met and
won from Shurtleff College. Millikin University. Illinois College. De Paul University, and
Knox College, losing to Knox in the return game at Galeshurg. Had Monmouth won the
second game from Knox she would have had a good title to the state championship, hut
breaking even with Knox makes a clear title lo the honor doubtful. Without doubt the three
strongest teams in the state this year were Monmouth, Normal, and Knox with little to
choose between the relative strength of each. Monmouth played the hardest schedule of
games and totaled the largest score of these three teams, nosing out Normal by eleven
points. It is to be regretted that Monmouth and Norma1 did not meet and settle the title for
1(1110. Knox is hardly in the running for first honors for the reason that she did not play
enough games with the Illinois colleges, as she played only Monmouth, Lombard, and Eureka.
Normal, with her record of seven victories and no defeats, would he looked upon as a
strong contender for the title if the teams she played had been of the first water; she met
the smaller teams of the state and played only one team of recognized strength, that of Illi-
nois College. On the comparative strength of the teams that were played it is hard to see
how Monmouth can he denied the first rank among the leading teams, although then; is no
clear cut title because of the tie with Knox and not meeting Normal.
In addition to the Illinois colleges that were played, two games were played with Iowa
Wesleyan, two with Simpson, and one with Perm College, all of Iowa. Pcmi was weak and
lost badly to Monmouth; Wesleyan lost heavily on the Monmouth floor, but nosed out a vic-
tory on their own floor; Simpson was without doubt the strongest team played on the en-
tire .schedule and won both games, but only after the grandest kind of basket ball. In the
second game Monmouth clearly outplayed the Simpson team, hut lost the game by the close
score of 24-25 because of poor foul throwing. Monmouth threw eleven field goals to Simp-
son's nine, but could count onlv twice from the foul line route, whereas the Simpson team
totaled seven points from the fo\d line. Simpson had a great team and to her we accord
the victory, but in the minds of thosr> w]10 saw dlc games between these two teams her team
was not superior to the red and white.

STUDENT VOLUNTEER BAND
THE Student Volunteer I '.and of Monmouth College goes to form a part of
the great world-wide Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions.
The band was organized in 1904, and since that time many of its members
have gone out to the Foreign Field, either as teachers or as missionaries.
At two o'clock on Sabbath afternoon the band meets regularly for prayer and
conference. Some vital phase of the missionary work is discussed. While the
membership this year has nol been large, yet the attendance has been excellent.
A large part of our time this year has been taken up with the study of Arthur J.
Brown's book, "The Foreign Missionary," a most helpful and practical work in
regard to missionary activities.
In view of what the band has meant to those who have gone out from it, we
believe that in the future it may hold even a still greater place in the strengthening
of men and women for a definite and more efficient service for the Master.
^x^^gF
THE PROHIBITION LEAGUE
ONE of the latest student organizations is the Prohibition League, which
was organized Nov. Ill, 1908, with twenty-two members, as a branch of
The Inter-collegiate Prohibition Association.
The purpose of the organization is to study in a broad and practical way the
liquor problem in preparation for earnest, active and intelligent leadership in the
overthrow of the saloon and its attendant social and political evils. It is based on
the thought that all college men and women owe a part of their life service as
citizens to the solution of this vital public problem. It aims to quicken the in-
terest of the students in this work and to give them some practical ideas which
will be useful in after life. It is an organization in which everv student ought to
be interested and to which he should give his hearty support.
The League meets on the second Wednesday evening of each month. At
these meetings the problems of the liquor traffic are studied and discussed.

SLOATS CLUB
FOR historical purposes the students of Monmouth College may be considered under two
main divisions, those who board at the Sloats Club and those who do not. While it is a
disputed point among historians as to whether the first division comprises the larger
number, there is now no doubt that it is by far the most important and that its contribu-
tions to the institutions of Monmouth College far exceed those of any other club. The history
of the college would indeed be incomplete without a thorough investigation of Sloats Club,
a fact historians are coming more and more to accept and act upon. For instance the insti-
tution of the "good time" which is now permanently established as a feature of college
life is conceded to have had its origin in the Sloats Club. Later, its value having been rec-
ognized, it was adopted by other clubs, some of whom now greedily claim to be the origin-
ators. The practice of partaking of three good square meals a day is generally conceded by
leading historians to date back to the Sloats Club. Having become a regular feature there,
the other clubs were obliged to adopt the scheme so far as possible in order to prevent being
entirely depopulated.
While it is so often claimed that the history of an age is but the record of its great
men the student cannot go far into the consideration of this matter without being struck
by the singularity of the fact that so many of the leaders and truly great, who have been
found worthy to be enrolled in the "Who's Who Book," have stepped forth into historical
prominence from the ranks of the Sloats Club. Among the many attempted explanations of this
fact, only one seems to gain general acceptance. It is that the high character and quantity
of the food which prevails at the Sloats Club from year to year is directly responsible for
the result which has become inevitable. On no other basis can the successful orators, de-
baters, athletic stars, religious mainstays and social leaders be traced back to the Sloats
L ub. In no cither way can the general high standard of scholarship be accounted for.
Hire, then, lies the triumph of the Sloats Club. It has existed as a means to a higher end,
the more vigorous pursuit of knowledge and the readier acquisition of wisdom. Those en-

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF THE CLASS OF 1909
WE, the members of the class of 1909 of Monmouth College, City of Mon-
mouth, County of Warren, State of Illinois, being of uncertain age, but
of sound mind, and memory, and understanding sufficient to put away
childish things, do make and declare and publish, this our last will and testament,
hereby revoking all former wills by us made.
First: It is our will and we hereby direct and request that our sincere appre-
ciation and thanks be extended to all Monmouth College, especially to the Faculty
and boarding clubs for the nutrition furnished our starving minds by the afore-
said, and our starving bodies by the hind said. That we were unable to consume
and absorb more was not due to the amount ottered by the aforesaid, but to our
limited capacity.
Second: We hereby give, devise and bequeath to our worthy successor, the
class of I!) 1<), the front seats in the parquet we have heretofore occupied at
Chapel with the advice that they pay strict attention to the proceedings transpir-
ing, remaining oblivious to showers of confetti, to fowls winging their way
heavenward, or to the rotation of spherical bodies against their fibulae, refraining
from sleep through Prof. Stewart's drowsy monotone, or Prof. Graham's stac-
atto vibrations, from numbering the hairs on Prof. Glass's head, and from read-
ing Paul's epistles when Doctor reads of David, or in any other unseemly
manner displeasing to the learned body on the platform, deviating from the
course which has won for us so many A's. We likewise bequeath to aforesaid
Junior Class the thesis subjects we were unable to conquer and the care of the
Congressional Records, together with all dictionaries, encyclopedias, reference
books and Prof. Chalfant's matrimonial journals, recommending their prompt
and careful perusal.
Third: We give, devise and bequeath to our foster-children, the Class of
1911, the undivided control of our livery barns and garages, hoping that they
will exercise contents of same to their utmost pleasure and profit. We also call
their attention to the parole system founded by Judge Cleland and advocated by
Dr. Mc.Michael and leave to them the honor of keeping ever green the grave of
George Washington and his immortal hatchet ever sharp.
Fourth: We likewise give and bequeath to our infants, the Class of 1912,
the defense of the scrap pole, the Gymnasium as a proper place for holding class
functions, that part of our property consisting of rattles, chewing gum and alarm
clocks, and likewise all chapel stunts and their appurtenances, when the aforesaid
class shall become of proper age to enjoy same. We also recommend to their
observance the 10:30 rule and the prompt payment of all laundry and annual bills.
Fifth: We give, devise and bequeath the following personal property, to-
wit :
Robert Clarke to Postman Wilson his key to code of signals to facilitate de-
Hvery of extra mail in absence of the aforesaid Clarke.

LIBER I. SAT. V. HORATII FLACCI
Arriving from my dear home city, Monmouth received me
Into her spacious depot ; my guide was Miss French,
Most learned of the Seniors ; from thence we went to the Clarke Housi?
Thronged with scared Freshies, gay Sophs and vain upper classmen.
We divided the way, stopping for refreshments at Hodgen's ;
Monmouth's streets are less grievous to those willing to loiter.
At supper, on account of the water which was vile, I
Declared war upon my stomach ; watching impatiently my companions
Ravenously feasting. Night came on and the darkness and bright stars-
Increased my loneliness and misery. The hackmen scrapped
With the students and these in turn with the draymen, —
"This trunk goes to 8th St." "My suit case is missing." "One dollar
Is all 1 will pay you." While the money changed hands and the trunks
Were unloaded, hours passed. The striking of the church clock and whirr of the
street cars
Prevented slumber, as well as the voices of reunited steadies floating up
From the dim streets. Finally, worn out, 1 slept, dreaming of home and of
mother.
And now day-break came and my heady Sophomore roommate
Unkindly pulled me from bed, thus inflicting a mild sort of hazing.
When the seventh hour had arrived, we washed our hands and our faces
In thy freckle removing fountain, Oh, Monmouth. Then, having
Breakfasted, I walked the few blocks to the college campus.
Here would I meet again my Senior guide and the Faculty,
Ambassadors chosen for great things — to break Freshies into the harness.
In the outer office I closed my tired eyes and waited.
Meanwhile my guide arrived, and the faculty, likewise Buchanan,
A portly man, and worthy to preserve the funds of the college.
At last I left the office with its inquisitorial council.
And, weak from the ordeal past, was taken to my adviser.
There I remained for an hour, filling blanks and watching my neighbors.
My adviser furnishing the blanks, my faithful Senior a pencil.
This was the greatest day of my life, for here the wise, the good, the talented.
Lived, unsurpassed in the world, and I was to be one among them.
Oh, what fond greetings there were, what joy of friends reunited !

Never before had I realized the opportunities of co-education.
Then to the Science professor in the hall on the east side of the campus.
From there to the Math, room, Wallace llall, southwest corner.
Then down and out and around to the office for new blanks and orders.
Here I saw new men striving to win advanced standing.
Oh, Muse, let me recall whence they came and what their claims were.
( )ne hailed from the city of Biggsville, the other from Venezuela.
Said the one, "1 could enter at Knox as a Sophomore or maybe a Junior,"
The powers in control only laughed and said. "You must take English History."
And the other. "I shall train for the forum, which in my country means the arena."
"Then we'll put you down for foot ball and a course in Solid Geometry."
Then we went directly to dinner and here my Sophomore room-mate
Served me with scalding coffee and meat just then from the oven:
No time could be lost in mere eating. Then again to the college
Whence, a few hours later, I emerged for the book store;
Here the shop-keeper received me, furnishing a few books
And promising to order the rest sometime in the not distant future.
Thus ended my first day in Monmouth, my first step toward a cum laude.

We're met together once again to banquet in Wallace Hall.

The Seniors praise the Juniors e'en,
For that's the style in Old Monmouth.

The love that we taste is divine, lads ;
The love that we taste is divine.
'Tis warmed bv soul-fire, in our own heart's desire ;

ODE TO HERR CHALFANT
Once a class in Monmouth College was quite startled by the knowledge
That the final had been pushed ahead, advance of schedule time.
Later on was learned the reason : it was then the hunting season,
And Herr Chalfant must go hunting when the woods and game were pr
Soon he beat this stunt one better, spoke or sent his word by letter,
To the powers that make the time-card by which classes are arranged.
"Put my work all in the morning, for I here and now give warning
I'll go hunting in the afternoon ; my purpose can't be changed."
It was not in vain, this gunning, as the choir that he was running
Could tell tales of a rich banquet it was bidden to enjoy;
Wild duck was the fowl of honor, other game too, bad the donor
Of this dinner, for his guests the good fortune to decoy.
As the summer now grows nearer, may the woodland'.s call grow clearer.
And rod and line prove valued aids to game bag and to gun.
May Herr Chalfant then determine to leave classes French and German
Without further work or worry 'till the college year is done.

THE MONMOUTH COLLEGE ORACLE
ONE of the most successful student enterprises is the Monmouth College
Oracle. In former years the college paper was published monthly by the
Senior Class, and was largely literary in form. But, keeping pace with
Monmouth's rapid advancement along other lines, the Oracle began the present
college year as a live, up-to-date weekly newspaper, in charge of an editorial
board made up of representatives from each of the four classes. That not even
one edition has been delayed, speaks well for the management.
Aside from giving the current events of our own college and items of inter-
est of other colleges, the Oracle, through its editorial column and contributed
articles, has been a very effective agency in bringing matters of vital interest be-
fore the student body, proving thereby a most important factor in making and
keeping Monmouth a wide-awake, progressive college.
The present board deserves the highest praise for the efficient manner in
which it has conducted the Oracle during the past months. The board for the
past year is as follows :
