This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

Usage guidelines

Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.

We also ask that you:

+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.

+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.

+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.

+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

course, and technical science courses in Civil Engineering,
Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry,
Ceramics, Agriculture, and Biology. The A.B., the Litt.B.,
and the general science courses permit large freedom in the
choice of electives and provide liberal preparatory training
for the professions of law, medicine, theology, teaching, and
journalism. The technical science courses are designed to pre-
pare for industrial positions of leadership, except the course
in Biology, which aims to give a liberal training in the sciences,
and is especially appropriate as a preliminary to the study of
medicine. Short courses, not leading to a degree, are offered
in Ceramics and in Agriculture.

The services rendered by Edward Burnett Voorhees to
agricultural science entitle him to a place among the leaders
of men of his generation. Within a period of less than fifty-
five years, he placed to his credit a splendid record of achieve-
ment. As it pointed out by Doctor E. W. Allen, of the
United States Department of Agriculture, Doctor Voorhees
"was a type of this present generation of leaders. In a sense
he was a link between the old and the new regime, for he was
trained under the pioneers, and his most notable work was
done since the experiment station movement became a national
one. He represented in a characteristic way the vigor and
aggressiveness of the new generation in organizing and pro-
pagating experiment station work, and in making its results
felt by the farmers. He shared generously in the confidence
and appreciation which have come of such effort, and in the
demand for leadership which this agricultural awakening has
brought. He was a product of his times, the embodiment of
a new idea."

FOREWORD.

College-mates at Rutgers: the Scarlet Letter this year is
an innovation. The Junior Class has taken upon itself the
pleasant burden of its publication and has worked hard to
make the book a success. We now place it in your hands,
awaiting your commendation or praise. We have done our
part, the rest lies with you.

The Faculty of Rutgers: The present Scarlet Letter is
meant to be symbolic of the new spirit around college. We
have tried to make the book representative of the best that is
in our collegiate life; we have eliminated all objectionable per-
sonalities and have given every student and professor a
**square deal."

The book this year is a new venture. If its publication
will add one measure in praise for old Rutgers the Scarlet
Letter of the Class of 1913 has attained success. This is the
goal toward which we have been striving. May our annual
this year be symbolic of the increased prosperity of our college.

COLLEGE

Read at the Charter Day Alumni Dinner
by Prof. Louis Bevier ^78.

A college is a group of halls,

Dotting a campus here and there,
With rooms rectangular and bare,

And gracious ivy-mantled walls.

A college is a crowd of boys,
Of ardent spirits still untaught,
Whose half-formed purposes are
fraught

With endless griefs and endless joys.

A college is a band of men.

Of vision clear, in love with truth.
Ripe manhood leading eager youth

To fields of thought beyond their ken.

A college is a life-long mood
Of love and loyalty and hope,
A subtle spell of boundless scope

To form a royal brotherhood.

A college is a holy shrine,

Beneath whose central cellars dome
Is found a consecrated home

For what in man is most divine.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1912.

THOSE who have followed the Scriptural injunction to work while it is yet day can
best appreciate the accompanying suggestion as to the brevity of the time al-
lowed them. It is, therefore, to be expected that to the members of so busy a class
as 1912 it should seem but yesterday when they entered college. And, indeed, when
in the fall of 1908 we assembled in Kirkpatrick Chapel for the first time as a class and gazed
with awe upon the Seniors in the center, our pathway toward their eminence seemed long and
arduous and beset with many a treacherous snare and pitfall. Nevertheless, we essayed it
right valiantly* and now we who have survived are, for the last time as undergraduates, to
review our college career.

It is not idle boasting to say that our coming marked a new era in the life of Rutgers.
Before we entered, one hundred and sixty strong, no class had passed the century mark. Of
course, mere numbers are not in themselves a cause for gratulations, but they have their
very great value as an indication that in her one hundred and forty-sixth year our Alma
Mater is still young and prosperous.

As a matter of course, we at once took a prominent place in all of the activities of the
college. The story of our career as underclassmen has already been told. Suffice it is to
say that as freshmen we taught 1911 to fear us and as Sophomores we carefully trained our
successors of 1913.

Our Junior year cannot be passed over with so brief mention. In athletics we remained
the leaders as in the two previous years, furnishing six out of the seventeen varsity football
men. In track, baseball and gym we likewise more than held our own, one member of our
class beating all college records for scoring points at track meets, while another is the only

man who ever succeeded in capturing the intercollegiate club swinging championship for two
successive years. The Junior Prom of February 24, 1911, is universally admitted to have
been the most successful social affair in the history of Rutgers, establishing once for all the
standard by which all similar events may be measured. In the intellectual field we were
no less distinguished, Sparker Gilbert being appointed official prize-taker of the class and
getting away with everything worth having. In all things we upheld the hands of the
faltering class of 1911, and now that they have departed, we are the vigorous class that has
succeeded to their position of leadership. It is not for us to say how well we, as Seniors,
have succeeded in moulding the life of the College and in shaping her destinies. We do
know that if a sincere devotion to her, joined with the ability to direct that devotion into
practical channels can be of any effect, then we do not need to fear the criticism of posterity.
All this has not been without loss. Of the hundred and thirty-six with whom we started
but thirty-three are still in the class. The others have left us for one reason or another and
but three have permanently joined us to recompense us for their loss. And of those of us^yvho
are left, many have failed to live up to the full measure of the opportunities which have been
presented to us. Yet we cannot help but be thankful for those opportunities which we have
used and above all for the four years of stimulating fellowship which we have enjoyed.
Surely it has been good for us to have been here! May it be equally good for our college
and may she ever feel an increasing satisfaction in the knowledge that we are her sons.

,■■ r.'

To the Senior

The four long years of college work are ended,

You stand upon the threshold wide of life,
Fond memories remain of joy and sorrow blended,
Of friendships found, and severed now, for unattended
You go to take a man's part in the toil and strife.

Success perhaps was yours, but now you're hasting.

With high resolve to paths as yet untrod.
The world indeed is wide and hope is everlasting.
Yet seasons change, and trees, their foliage casting,

Make of the rustling leaf but earth and dust and sod.

Past failure and success have now no bearings

College was but a step toward the goal;
Men, equal in the sight of men, the battle sharing.
Think of the future only, for the past not caring,
Stand to be measured in the balance of the soul.

— E. R. S.

JUNIOR HISTORY.

THE JUNIOR HOLDS SWAY.

A Drama in One Act.
Scene — Queen Campus.
Time— 12.05 A. M., January I, 1912.
Characters — The Senior, an old man, bent with the burden of knowledge; the Junior, a roan

in the prime of liiPe, sturdy of limb and strong of feature; the Sophomore, a young

boy, flashily dressed, wearing red coat, red tie, red socks, etc.; the Freshman, a little

boy in short trousers, scowling ferociously at the Soph.
(Curtain discovers the four figures grouped around the cannon. The Senior has just finished

speaking, a slight handclapping following the statement of his accomplishments.)
The Junior steps forth and speaks.

College men, you all have heard

That the Senior is a bird —
Soph — So at least he thinks.
Junior — And we're glad to know that he

Is a man —
Soph — or seems to be.

Junior — But, in fact, his history

Isn't worth three winks.
Soph and Fresh, singing —

But, in fact, his history

Into dimness sinks.
Junior —

Listen, my comrades, and you shall hear

The tale of a class without a peer,

We hazed the freshmen from far and near

We placed the Sophomore upon his bier,

In short, we were ever the winner;

When only wee freshmen we made quite a hit,

The Junior and Soph didn't phase us a bit,

And into the Senior we threw quite a fit;

The faculty really grow thinner.

Digitized by

Google

Soph — By Jove, you indeed were the winner.
Junior —

As Sophomore students we raised quite a row,

The college remembers our deeds even now,

And all the professors were willing to bow.

Whenever they passed by the way.

We "bopped on" the freshmen in football and track.

And always they failed when they tried to come back.

Defeated, in silence they bore every whack;

Indeed, they had nothing to say.
Soph —

Indeed, we had nothing to say.
Junior —

And now as a Junior we stand,

Secure at the head of the band.

In deep exultation

We measure each ration,

To Senior and Freshmen alike,

The Profs all adore us,

There's no one before us —
Senior —

1 guess it is me for the pike.
Soph —

I think we had all better hike.
Junior —

In the present year to show

We're progressive, don't you know;

And are willing to grow even better,

We have taken our stand

In the editor's band,

We have charge of the new Scarlet Letter.
Senior —

I think, If 1 may speak,

We are all very weak.

When compared to the Junior so gay,

I blink When I think

Of this class; so I say

We should all bid good day

And should hasten away>

For the Junior is Queen of the May.
Soph and Fresh —

For the Junior is Queen of the May.
The three classes bow in submission before the Junior. Suddenly the Registrar's voice is

heard from a window in Queens. The Senior, Sophomore and Freshman instantly

vanish in the air, leaving the Junior standing triumphant by the cannon.
The curtain falls.

We knew it as soon as he'd spoken,

For through these pages runs,
And now unbiased comes

This our class story.
Though not a poet old>
To sing of deeds so bold,
My tale, though poorly told.

Smacks much of glory.

Last year though Freshmen new,
We soon saw what to do;
And hit the Sophs a few ;

Who can deny it?
We ripped them up the back,
Paused in our wild attack.
Several thick skulls to crack;

Do facts belie it?

You see us once more here
At last in Sophomore year,
Putting respect and fear

Into the slimers.
And on that dark Proc. night.
We put 'em all to flight,
Not one was left to fight.

With us oldtimers.

And in the Flag Rush, too,
Though our band numbered few,
And many formed their crew;

We didn't spare it.
Leaping into the fight.
We pulled with all our might,
The Freshmen held it tight,

We wouldn't tear it.

It was a gorgeous sight,
The Gym ablaze with light.
On that December night.

And bright with flowers.
Gaily each merry pair.
Sophomore and maiden fair.
Free from all thought of care,

Danced through the hours.

Then in our next class bout.
We'd have won without doubt.
Had but the rope held out.

All gone, confound it.
We cooked one Freshman's goosct
But used up every noose;
This is a poor excuse.

But one wav 'round it.

In the athletic field,

To none we prestige yield.

Stands nineteen fourteen's shield

In the van ever.
In baseball and in track.
In football line and back.
Foremost in each attack.

Giving ground never.

Now and then in the games.

We let them make their names,
'Cause all the pretty dames

Said we should let 'em.
But with no girls around.
We gave them thrashings sound.
And their presumptions downed.
Whene'er we met them.

All students, old and new,
Our class would say to you:
Do you be ever true

To Alma Mater.
However high your aim.
Never forget her claim;
Never for sake of fame.

Her honor barter.

To get a hat or two.

The whole green Freshman crew.

Rushed on the Sophomore few.

Yet 'tis recorded;
Many a sturdy bat
Knocked those bold Freshmen flat.
And not a single hat.

Their pains rewarded.

•*To thine own self be true."
Happy the men, but few,
Who to themselves are true,

True to their ideals.
*Tis not the swiftest pace
That always wins the race.
Failure in honor's place

Life oft reveals.

A HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1915

To the undergraduates of our Alma Mater a written history of the class of 1915 is
hardly necessary. Indeed, it is almost superfluous, for the deeds of this valiant class are
emblazoned upon the memories of the Sophomores (for instance) in letters engraved by the
physical and intellectual prowess, and illumined by the very brilliancy of its individual
members. Nevertheless, for the benefit of those not fortunate enough to be intimately as-
sociated with the youngest but not the least ambitious class of Rutgers, an endeavor will
be made to relate in an unprejudiced nianner the chief facts concerning the 1915 Fresh-
man's career.

Into the breaches left in the ranks of Rutgers' loyal students by the advance of the
classes rushed a crowd of youth eager to join in the struggle against the so-called "wary
Sophomores." On the evening of September 19, 1911, the moon and stars seemed to smile
with quiet approval upon the Freshmen, as they began their course with the first test of
their young manhood, the "proc" rush. After tearing down the last vestige of the "procs,"
they demonstrated their ability to "Peerade" in unprecedentedly good form (as many
Juniors and even Seniors have admitted), and to hurl the zealous but helpless "Sophs" from
their proud perch, the railroad bank. Then, unmolested, they calmly "peeraded" to bed.

The following morning was bright and clear, a propitious omen to the class of 1915.
One hundred and forty-seven strong filed into chapel, the largest class that had ever entered
those sacred walls.

At ten o'clock of the same day the Freshmen appeared for the flag rush with a feeling
of supreme confidence. The few, brave enough to be present, rushed with the right spirit,
but alas! they were completely lost in the mass of squirming Freshmen, who kept 15 hands
on the coveted flag to 4 of the Sophomores.

On the following Friday the new class easily won its third victory by the score of 3 to 1
in the spectacular rope rush.

In the field of organized athletics as well as in the rushes the Freshmen have made a
deep impression, first by winning the most points in the annual Fall interclass track meet,
and, secondly, by their achievements in the realm of football. This sturdy class has pro-
duced 4 men who have served Alma Mater on the 'Varsity and as many more have no less
faithfully performed their duty on the "Scrub" team. Relative to this it might be well to
record the Freshman-Sophomore football game, which with a score of 15-0 resulted in
another most decisive defeat for the dejected second year men.

Undoubtedly it is the duty of a true historian to relate the mistakes as well as the suc-
cesses of the lives of the people he is portraying, but there is not even space enough in which
to tell of 191 5's triumphs; — how one morning beneath a tree upon the campus a crowd of
"Sophs" were seen gazing longingly and with open-mouthed wonder at their "brand" new
hats, as they, high and dry, gayly flapped in the breeze, and then how they mysteriously dis-
appeared ; how those stylish hats in their immaculate whiteness were soiled; how the Fresh-
men bowling team won two games out of three played with the experienced team of 1914;
how the Freshman picture was successfully taken; and how daily was heard the defiant
"Allee-Garro-Garre," et cetera, fere ad infinitum.

As for the errors, they have been numerous. All men, even the best arc prone to err.
It is also true, however* that some mistakes are pardonable, when not made twice. If there
were no faults, there would be no room for improvement. Truly, this young class of 1915
has caught the splendid spirit, which has characterized old Rutgers ever since its founding,
and there is every reason to believe that in possession of it 1915 will progress to unattained
heights of greatness, and thereby do great honor to themselves and their Alma Mater.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

Since its formation early in the history of the college, and
its incorporation under the laws of New Jersey in 1879, the
athletic association has played an important part in college life.
All forms of intercollegiate sport are controlled by the associa-
tion, through its Board of Managers. The Board, chosen by
the students, is composed of three student members, two alumni
members, three faculty members, a representative from the
Board of Trustees and the Athletic Director. The Board reg-
ulates practically all the athletics of the college, including the
schedules and management of teams, the granting of the R,
and the financial affairs of the association.

Through the kindness of Mr. James Neilson, free use
of an athletic field, known as Neilson P^ield, has been given to
Rutgers since 1891,

FOOTBALL SEASON, 1911

In spite of an unusually hard schedule, the 19U football team made the
season a very successful one. Though defeated in four games, the record of
our eleven is still one of which we may feel justly proud in that our defeats
invariably came from institutions which were stronger and much heavier than
our own. Due to the excellent work of Coach Gargan, there was last fall an
ever present, sincere enthusiasm, and a persistent football spirit, manifested by
the extraordinarily large number of scrub men daily on the field.

Our first game was with Princeton. It resulted in a defeat, the score being
37 to 0. However, added to their greater strength and larger amount of foot-
ball material, Princeton had the advantage of being engaged in their second
contest of the season — so the defeat was really not so bad as the score would
seem to indicate. It is indeed pleasant to feel that athletic relations have again
been established with the neighboring university, and to remember the courteous
treatment that we received at Princeton.

On October 7th, the first home game of the season was played with Haver-
ford. Our men showed marked improvement in their playing, and it was an
easy Rutgers victory, the score being 10-6.

The next Saturday, October 14th, the team journeyed to West Point to meet
the strong Army aggregation. The Rutgers fighting spirit was there. The
team did hard, consistent work, but were not able to compete with the West
Point eleven. The final score was 18 to in our opponents' favor.

On a muddy field, and in a disheartening drizzle, we played Union the
next Saturday, October 21st. The score was 6-0 in our favor, but that doesn't
imply a great deal, for had Neilson Field been in better condition, the team
would have rolled up a much larger score.

On October 28th, with our team crippled by the loss of several 'Varsity
men who were "out on studies," Swarthmore came back and was able to
take revenge for the defeat in 1910. The final score was 21-0, and was due to
a lack of concentrated effort in our eleven

The R. P. I. game was at New Brunswick on November 4th, and the
Rensselaer players proved to be no mean foes. The contest was well and
cleanly played, a victory, 6-0, was well deserved, for our men did a lot of
good, consistent work.

New York University was our next foe. This game was played on
November 11, on Ohio Field, a 0-0 score. We undoubtedly played the better
game of the two teams, and had fortune favored us, would have defeated
N. Y. U. with a large score

The last home game was played on November 18th with IJrsinus. Skilful
use of trick plays and forward passes gave the visitors a victory, the score
being 17 to 0.

Last — but far from least — the Stevens game. 'Twas a Rutgers' victory
again — due largely to Jimmy Alverson's wonderful kicking ability. Fine spirit
and lots of enthusiasm were the chief characteristics of the contest which was
witnessed by five thousand people. The score was 3 to 0.

BASEBALL SEASON, 1911

Last year's season began on the last Saturday in March, the
25th, and it began well. Our aggregation kept the score down to
3-0, though playing against the strong West Point team. Captain
Van Ness played good, clean ball that day, and continued his excel-
lent work throughout the season.

Our second southern trip — that occupied all of Easter vacation,
from April 12th to 19th. Of course our men were hardly selfish
enough to insist upon winning every game, but they did some good
team work, and learned a lot about baseball that was of material
assistance during the remainder of the season.

The season, as far as the winning of games is concerned, we
can't call a bright and shining success. However, there were sev-
eral snappy, interesting games and some fine individual playing.

This year, everything looks well — and with "Bowie" as captain
and with Mr. W. S. Brodie, of Princeton, as coach, there's no rea-
son why Rutgers should not "come back" into baseball prominence.

GYMNASIUM

Last year's season was without doubt one of the most successful in the history of gym-
nasium, as a sport, at Rutgers. Our team was not defeated in a single meet and, through the
efforts of the club swingers, was able to capture second place in the annual intercollegiate
meet held at New Haven, giving higher rank than Pennsylvania, Harvard, Princeton and
other larger and stronger institutions.

Perhaps it was the work of Rutgers in this meet that brought about the proposed change
in the intercollegiate rules with regard to club swinging.

Next yeai;, prospects for the gymnasium season are the best. Captain-elect Anderson is
doing excellent work and the team will undoubtedly make the season a successful one. Mr.
Rooney, who has had experience in a circus, has assisted in the coaching of tumbling.

GYMNASIUM SCHEDULE
February 24 — Rutgers, 35; Columbia, 19; at New Brunswick.
March 2 — Rutgers, 37; Lehigh, 17; at New Brunswick.
March 9 — Rutgers, 19; New York University, 35; at New Brunswick.

RUTGERS TENNIS ASSOCIATION

President Fred M. Fountain.

Vice-President Donau) Havens.

Secretary Valentine B. Havens.

Manager Alfred A. Nelson.

Although the team won only two out of the six matches played last season, the general
position of tennis as a college sport has been gradually improving. The courts have been
resurfaced at considerable expense and it is hoped that from now on it will be possible to
keep them in proper shape. The most notable advance, however, has been the recent action
of the Board of Managers in adopting tennis as an intercollegiate sport. This step has been
long hoped for and will undoubtedly establish tennis on a firm footing with the other sports.

The annual tournament for the college championship was held last spring with great
success. A large number of students participated and great interest was shown in the result.
The final round found Val. Havens and Fred Fountain pitted against each other and after
three hard sets the former finally won out.

"And why did you?" she asks in turn;

In his eyes shines the answer, bright and clear,
And soft in her listening ear he says,

"Because I knew that you'd be here.

The music swells in a rapturous waltz,

The dancers are beautiful, fair to sec,
Unmoved by the rhythm and swing of the dance.

Alone in a corner sit he and she.

It goes without saying that every year is the "most successful year" in the history of
every organization at Rutgers. Thus, we also, might make boastful statements, but we de-
sire to leave the higher moral and spiritual standard to speak for itself.

We might mention, however, some of the more important evidences of the activities of
the association. In the first place, the work of the Northfield Committee deserves comment.

164

Google

Who rcmcipbcrs the time when Rutgers had ten delegates at that great conference? Our
Hand-book Committee fulfilled its duty in conveying all the necessary information to the
members of the incoming class. Our Freshman Reception, too, was no mean social function.
Then began the work of the Membership Committee. By the first of January it succeeded
in gaining one hundred and one active members and fourteen associate, who by this step
expressed their desire to uphold the moral, the just, the holy, the godlike in the life of
college men.

The Social Service Committee is holding monthly song and prayer services in Well's
Hospital, is working among the boys about the Throop Avenue Mission, and is organizing
classes among the foreigners of the city to teach them English and to aid them in the in-
terpretation of civic righteousness.

Our Meetings Committee has arranged most helpful discussions and addresses, and has
obtained several outside speakers of note. No one can forget the messages of Mr. Mercer
and Dr. Vander Muelen.

Lastly we must speak with praise of the work of the Bible Study Committee. Classes
have been formed in all but one fraternity. These and the three in the Dormitory are
meeting weekly under most capable men.

A word of respect is also due here to the devotion and activity of our general secretary,
Mr. Vruwink. Without his executive capacities our work would have been quite futile.
Again, we must say, that what little we may have accomplished has been made possible by
the fact that the student body is backing the work with all of its good will. We are grateful
not only for its generous financial support, but for its sympathetic interest. May this con-
tinue! For without it, Rutgers cannot hold its own in the fight for sound morality, noble
manhood, and Christian devotion.

The Targum

There has been no marked change in the conduct of the Targum during the past year.
Those in charge of the paper have endeavored to conduct it as nearly as possible in accord-
ance with the standard set by the preceding volumes, believing that the experience of the
other boards has resulted in the evolution of a paper well adapted to the conditions existing
at Rutgers. While they cannot claim to have been wholly successful in their attempt, they
feel that the Targum may be compared not unfavorably with similar publications issued
by the students of many colleges having a standing similar to ours.

A commendable start has been made toward furnishing and decorating the Targum
Room and making it a genuine meeting place for the members of the Cabinet, and it is hoped
that future administrations will continue this work.

Finally, if the paper has merited any small measure of approval this year, the fact is
entirely due to the loyal and hearty support received from both alumni and students.

Rutgers may well point with pride to her debating record. Twenty victories out of a
possible twenty-two.

About forty men took part in the preliminary trials which were held before the Christ-
mas recess. The successful eight were: V. Havens, '12; Campbell, '12; G. W. Martin, '12;
Stier, '12; Sheffer, '13; D. L. Havens, '13; Elmendorf, '14, and Le Fevre, '14. In the final
trials the following team was chosen: V. B. Havens, Sheffer, Le Fevre, and D. L. Havens,
alternate.

The question submitted by Rutgers was, "Resolved, That
women in the United States should be given the right to vote
on the same terms as men." Lafayette decided to uphold the
negative, and wished the debate to be held in New Bruns-
wick on March Ist. Rutgers lost the debate.

The only society in college that offers an opportunity for literary culture and that aims
to supplement the ordinary scholastic training in debating, essay writing, extempore speak-
ing, and a liberal appreciation of kindred arts is the Philoclean Society. All Rutgers men
who desire to develop themselves along these lines are eligible for membership. The society
has had an almost continuous existence since 1825, and its members include some of our
most illustrious alumni. Except for a few years interval around 1900 the society has pros-
pered greatly, and since its revival and re-organization in 1907, interest has been strongly
maintained and its future appears encouraging. It is worthy of note that about one-half
of the prizes offered in college are taken by Philoclean members. Innovations during the
past year have been the adoption of a regular Philoclean pin and society banner.

The annual banquet of the society was held on March 14th at the Mansion House, and
was highly successful in every way.

The Rutgers College Dramatic Club was organized October 23, 1911. For several years
the plans for such a permanent club to promote dramatics at Rutgers had been thought of,
but little was done toward the production of a college play until the musical comedy
•*Raritania" was brought out in 1909. The success of that effort, together with the increasing
size of the college, has stimulated the present successful attempt at a well organized dramatic
association to take charge of the historic efforts of the undergraduates.

It is the intention to produce a play each year, one that will compare favorably with
the productions of other colleges.

There are over a hundred members enrolled already, so that the club will not lack
undergraduate interest and support. Goldsmith's "She Stoops to Conquer," has been selected
for this year's production, to be given on June 15th. Mr. J. E. Hart, of the N. Y. Academy
of Dramatic Arts, has been secured as coach of the play. It only remains for the entire
student body to stand behind it, and the dramatic club will take its place along with the
athletic teams, the glee club and the debating team in keeping high the reputation of old
Rutgers.

GLEE AND MANDOLIN CLUB

The Glee and Mandolin Club is now up to its former excellence. With George W.
Wilmot to coach and Fred A. Briegs, '12, to lead, it seems almost as if the palmy days of
Lauren Bragdon had returned.

With a larger roster than ever before and as good a program as had ever been sung
it took both Newark and Plainfield by storm in the first two concerts of the schedule. These
concerts were run by the club itself and without a paid advertisement, which, although we
believe in advertising, shows that our fame is abroad.

Already all the mid-week concerts allowed by the faculty have been scheduled and
there are still a number of week-end trips on the list. The concert following the Junior
Promenade was so good as to receive public recognition by President Demarest in chapel,
which as we all know is a high compliment.

Although the musical clubs receive no financial aid from the student body and less
concessions from the faculty they do more to advertise the college than any other student
organization, and it should be the duty of the alumni and students to get concerts for
the clubs.

Heines, '13, who has a tenor voice with gre^t possibilities, has been the mainstay of
the first tenors as well as our most popular soloist. Briegs, '12, who has led both clubs and
coached the Mandolin Club, has written one of the selections, but being extremely modest
would not allow it to be used, save as an encore. Robins, '13, who until this year has kept
his light under a bushel, made a decided hit at every concert with a recitation which he
himself composed, while Leeds has been encored to the echo for his imitations with a man-
dolin of an organ and a banjo. The club as a whole has formed a good back-ground for
these major planets, and each star has twinkled consistently. Mid-year exams, as usual
caught us amidship and eight men were washed overboard by the high seas, but most of
them got back again by the aid of life-boats sent out in the shape of re-exams., and so,
with the patronage of our friends and alumni the club looks forward to an even more suc-
cessful season for 1912-1913.

CHEMICAL CLUB

OFFICERS

President Harold J. Cadmus.

rice-President Edward C. Scott.

Secretary and Treasurer CJeorge S. Robins.

This, our first year in the new Chemistry Building, has been unusually successful. We
have held meetings twice each month, and several of our speakers have been practical
chemists. These lectures by men well versed in their respective industries have been of
great value to all who heard them.

Our first lecture, by Dr. Wright, traced "The Development of the Dyestuff Industry."
Dr. Van Dyke lectured on the "Kinetic Basis of Gaseous Laws," and Dr. R O. Smith showed
how the Kinetic Theory was applied in Physical Chemistry. A stereopticon lecture by Dr.
Kilmer on "Crude Drugs," showed the sources from which many of the drugs used in medi-
cine are drawn. The typewriter ribbon industry was represented by Mr. Frank Mittag,
who spoke on "Aniline Lakes." Dr. Dulca talked on "India Rubber;" and Dr. Miner
showed us how Welsbach mantels are made. In addition to these, several of the Seniors and
Juniors read papers on various topics.

With such an array of speakers we feel that the club has indeed prospered during the
past year, and we look to the future with a surety of continued success and increasing
usefulness.

AGRICULTURAL CLUB

OFFICERS

President Louis F. Merrill, *12.

Vice-President Robert Schmidt, *12.

Secretary George Menaker, *13.

Treasurer Charles Miller, '13.

To record the activities of the Agricultural Club is simply to enumerate the steps of a
healthy progress. One very sad event has occurred in the passing away, in the spring of
1911, of Dr. E. B. Voorhees. His presence in the Agricultural Department will be missed
by those who knew him.

The work of the club consists of lectures by prominent men and papers by students. Dr.
Lipman, who succeeded Dr. Voorhees as Director of the Experiment Station, addressed the
club on "Extension Work in Agriculture." He emphasized the growing demand for men
trained in scientific agriculture. Dr. K. C. Davis gave an illustrated lecture on "Secondary
Schools of Agriculture in Wisconsin.' Other speakers were Dr. M. T. Cook, State Plant
Pathologist, Dr. Blair, of the Soils Department, and Mr. Arthur J. Farley, of the Horti-
cultural Department.

Among the student speakers were: Hagen, '12; Halsted, '12; Foster, '12; Schmidt, *12;
Woelfle, '12; Miller, '13. Miller's paper on "A Hot- footed Insect" was demonstrated by
passing out the bee's products which the club consumed together with cake.

The departed class of 1911 has been missed, but we have not allowed our tears to blind
us to the work to be done. The course in agriculture is becoming deservedly popular and
the improvements which are being made each year arc justified by the increased interest
taken.

The Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Club was organized by the Electrical
section of the class of 1909 during the latter part of 1907. The club at the present time is
composed of those members of the Senior and Junior classes taking Electrical or Mechanical
Engineering courses together with the professors and assistants in these two departments.

Meetings are held monthly and papers of general interest are presented by student
members or a lecture by one of our professors is enjoyed. It is the aim of the club to obtain
prominent out-of-town speakers whenever it is possible to do so.

As our Electrical and Mechanical Engineering courses grow in importance and equip-
ment the club is able to fill a position of ever increasing value to the students who take
advantage of its privileges. Its object is a worthy one and its results can be nothing but
beneficial.

CIVIL ENGINEERING CLUB

The past year has been one of great progress for the Civil Engineering Club. Not only
have the Seniors shown a great interest and enthusiasm in the club by their careful and
diligent work in preparing papers and looking up material for five-minute reports, but the
under classes also have shown an unusual interest in their attendance at the meetings.

Among the papers presented have been: "Practical Experiences in the Field," by J. O.
Marsh; "The Pennsylvania Railroad," by G. D. Auchter; "Johnson & Johnson Filtration
Plant," by H. R. Peebles; "New York City Water Supply," by A. A. Nelson, and "Sewer
Construction," by W. C .Bowen. Besides these papers many five-minute reports on current
topics were given by different members.

During the year a public meeting was given, which was attended by a large number
of town people as well as students. At this meeting a very interesting talk on "The Engi-
neer and Contractor" was given by J. Wallace Higgins, '93, C. E. (M. Am. Soc. C. E.)

The club holds its meetings in Professor Prentiss' room in the Engineering Building.
This room is equipped with a projectoscope which enables the speaker to offer illustrations
pertaining to his subject. The club meeting, besides being a constant benefit and source of
engineering enjoyment to the student, brings him intimately in contact ^ith the current
practical problems of the day and afiPords ample opportunity for open discussion of the
various means of their development. Historian.

BIOLOGICAL CLUB

OFFICERS
Dr. Julius Nelson. Dr. William D. Hoyt.

President Russell W. Gies.

Vice-President Thurlow C. Nei^on.

Secretary W. Rudolf F. Stier.

Treasurer James R. Slater.

The Biological Club is perhaps not much different, in its object, than most clubs of its
nature, i. e., to grant to some one another opportunity to see his face in the Scarlet Letter.
But upon second thought we must form a more dignified opinion of this club. Of its twenty
enrolled members, one-half were regular attendants at its meetings. These and the visitors
(who are always welcomed) showed by their attention and discussions that men were still
interested here in the subjects that are, after all^ of fundamental importance in life.

Thus far our meetings have been most interesting and helpful. The speakers and their
subjects were as follows: Dr. J. G. Lipman on "Diseases of Economic Plants and Insects;"
Dr. Chidester on "Relation of Zoology to Medicine;" Dr. Nelson on "Oyster Observation
Service of New Jersey;" S. M. Nelson, '11, on "Game Fish and Other Fish of New Jersey;"
E. E. Vanderwerker, '12, on "Protective Coloration in the Animal Kingdom;" R. W. Gies, '12,
on the "Marine Gardens of the Cataline Islands."

THE riddlf:

The dust of time lies heavy

On a candle, a book and a glove,

And they long have been bound together
By the web that the spider wove.

What mean this book and the candle,
And the glove that is lying there.

Treasured by time and the spider,
As though they were relics rare?

List, I will read you the riddle,
Of the treasures of days gone by, —

The glove held the hand of the poet,
And the candle the muse held high.

To lighten the path as he trod it.
Through the golden and palmy days.

And there is the book he created.
By the light of the candle's rays.

Time holds the book and the candle.
And the glove in a sacred bond,

But the poet has ended his labors,
And rests in the Great Beyond.

1856-1911

By J. G. LIPMAN, Ph. D.

Edward Burnett Voorhees was born at Minebrook, Somerset County, New Jersey, on
June 22n4, 1856. He died at New Brunswick, New Jersey, on June 6th, 1911.

Previous to his coming to college he lived and worked on the farm, and imbibed freely
of the life and traditions of rural New Jersey. He entered Rutgers College in 1876 and
graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1881. The honorary degree of Doctor
of Science was conferred upon him by the University of Vermont in 1900. After his gradua-
tion from Rutgers he acted as assistant to Professor W. O. Atwater of Wesleyan University.
In 1882 he returned to New Jersey as assistant chemist in the State Experiment Station, and
began his career of investigator, administrator and teacher. He was made chemist in 1888,
appointed professor of agriculture in Rutgers College in 1890, elected director of the State
Experiment Station in 1893 and of the College Experiment Station in 1896.

His contributions to agricultural science and practice include the development of methods
of agricultural analysis, the planning of experiments on soil fertility, and the economic use
of commercial fertilizers, the study of forage and field crops, and their utilization in milk
production. As director of the Station he established departments of dairy husbandry, hor-
ticulture, soil fertility, animal husbandry and poultry husbandry. Under his inspiration
these departments attained a marked degree of usefulness both within and without the State.
Himself an enthusiastic worker he inspired enthusiasm in his associates, and was always
generous in recognizing the services rendered by them. To quote Dr. Allen again, "He was
director in a true sense, maintaining sympathetic and helpful relations with the men of his
staff, and a vital connection with the principal lines of investigation." His services to
agriculture were recognized by the farmers in the State. This appreciation of his work
found almost constant expression from individuals and organizations of farmers. Outside
of the State farmers, as well as men of science, knew of his work and esteemed it highly.
In 1902 he was awarded the Nichols medal by the New York Section of the American
Chemical Society for the best paper embodying the results of original chemical research
submitted during the year. The Association of Offidal Agricultural Chemists honored him
by electing him president in 1893-94, while the Association of American Agricultural Col-
leges and Experiment Stations made him its secretary for seven years (1897-1904)^ and
its president in 1904-05. The farmers of the State placed him at the head of the State
Board of Agriculture and refused to accede to his plea to release him from the burdens of
this position. He was also president of the Board of Directors of the New Jersey Weather
Bureau in 1893, and president of the New Jersey State Microscopical Society in 1905-06, and
a member of the New Jersey State Conservation Commission.

To agricultural education Doctor Voorhees rendered distinguished service by individual
instruction, by numerous popular and scientific bulletins, and by his books, "First Principles
of Agriculture," "Fertilizers" and "Forage Crops." It was largely, thanks to his endeavors,
that the Short Courses in Agriculture were established at Rutgers College, and their suc-
cessful growth has been made possible to his careful planning of the work. As a lecturer
before the graduate school of agriculture of the University of Illinois, in 1906, and his
lectures in many States before various farmers' organizations, he was effective in inspiring
interest in and enthusiasm for the great problems of agriculture.

To those who knew him personally, as well as to those to whom he is known by his
writings, his life and work stand out as, in many respects, characteristically American. His
services and his devotion to agriculture will for many years to come serve as an inspiration
to other men.

THE POET

God, give me strength to write a poem that's true,
Give me expression for the thoughts within my soul ;
Make me a writer that the whole wide world will know,
Give me the strength to write a poem that's whole.

Love, faith and truth, — God, give me these, and then
Give me the power to transport to other men.
God, you must feel and see the longing in my soul,
Give me the strength to write a poem that's whole.

E'en now I feel indeed my effort here has failed,

Lost, like the storm-wrecked ship that toward the harbor sailed;

God, you must know the inner workings of my soul.

Give me the strength to write a poem that's whole.

TRUTH

Prophets and singers and poets talk of the power of love. Ancient philosophers tell of
its frailty, and cynics discourse on its shallowness. Science has made of its strong points a
weakness, until its power is questioned and only the dreamer still holds it untarnished. But
truth stands supreme. The ages are teeming with tales of its power; the poet and the singer
take truth as the goal of the theme; the cynic stands mute and philosophy halts at the sub-
ject of truth. True men and true women are the backbone of progress and the memories
of true lives are the stepping stones of history. Learn to be true. Fearlessly do what you
think to be right, measure the deed by its standard of truth, measure success on the scales of
thy conscience. Learn to be true.

TO THE RUTGERS GIRL

Dark eyes from out of the embers are shining,
Red lips are smiling a message, 'twould seem,

The wind roars unheeded and stilled is its whining,
For I am alone with the Girl — and a dream.

The arms of the Dream-girl stretch forth from the fire,
The love-light gleams true from the depths of her eyes.

The heart throbs responsive, and former desire
Is banished by love, and all restlessness dies.

The embers fade slowly and softly are glowing.
The eyes of the Dream-girl grow dim to the view,

Again sounds the wail of the wind, and the blowing;
But doubting has vanished — and all things are true.

AN ANSWER to the CRITICS of AMERICA

By EDWARD T. PAXTON, '14.

The Philosopher sat in his chair and mused. On his knee lay a current magazine,
brimming with woeful cries of prophets and preceptors, and their warnings re-echoed in
the Thinker's brainchatter of treachery and crime, of betrayed trust, of oppression and
hypocrisy, and throughout the whole there throbbed a sullen fundamental beat, "America
is not the cradle of a new, but the grave of an old race!" The drowsy warmth of the
hearth fire and the muffled howl of the unfelt wind that blew in Yuletide gusts in the outer
world, were better than a lullaby; the cheery sparks that scurried into the yawning chimney
mouth grew less and less distinct, the paper-bound Cassandra slipped unheeded to the floor,
and as the Philosopher mused, he slept; and as he slept, he dreamed.

First he stood among the wreckage of a great rebellion. He saw thirteen colonies, too
weak to stand separately, too jealous to unite, too independent to agree. He saw law dis-
regarded, government powerless, currency without value, party factions in armed revolt.
Again he heard the voices of the prophets, foretelling nothing that existing conditions did
not sfem to bear out — yet this was an America of the past, and out of it came not the
prophesied chaos, but a great republic. He watched the new country as it passed through
the throes of genesis; watched it struggle within itself over the form and distribution of
internal authority; saw it tossed about, a toy among the older nations of the earth — its
ministers insulted, its citizens maltreated, its commerce destroyed. Small wonder that he
gave ear to the cry of the pessimists, "America is a theory; a republic so conceived cannot
endure." Yet the Americans upheld their new commonwealth and compelled a universal
recognition of their national dignity and force of arms. For the next fifty years he saw
the nation, now a recognized world power, torn by internal dissensions, racked by questions
of tariff, of national finance, of state rights and secession, of slavery and abolition. Still the
old chorus rose in a new form, "Your republic is on too vast a scale. You have factions that
can never get the same viewpoint. You cannot mix oil and water. Your country cannot
stand." He saw the crisis come: beheld seven states drawn up in solemn array against the
Union, and the whole country plunged into civil war, while the staid old imperial govern-
ments looked on with cynical smiles. But the miracle happened: the two factions united,
buried their differences, fell into step and pushed on as one. No longer are they Virginians,
or Californians, or New Yorkers, but all Americans. Still he heard the prophets, "America
is not the cradle of a new, but the grave of an old race."

The message recalled the prophecies of former days. How great the difficulties of the
past must then have seemed! Even advanced as we are, we may well be thankful that they
are not for us to meet: and being fearful in perspective, how much more terrible must they
have been in their time. How were they met? To what human agency may one ascribe
their conquest? The Philosopher, musing in his dream, gave the credit to the spirit of the
American people. For it was the American people who drew and adopted their own national
Constitution, who compelled first their own lawless brothers and then the powers of the
world to recognize and respect their self-invested authority. It was they who for half a cen-
tury threshed pro and con the great national issues which arose, who donned uniforms and
shouldered guns in support of their views, and who, when the balance was struck and the
right determined, sat down together and worked out the reconstruction which has produced
the greatest nation of them all. Is this the race for whom your grave is dug? Is it a dying
race? Then it has been dying for nearly a century and a half: during the process it has in-
creased ten-fold in numbers and in occupied territory; it has become a byword for paramount
cleverness and ingenuity; it has set a new standard for efficiency in manufacture and com-
merce; and has advanced the cause of science in no less rapid strides, giving the world its
Morton, its Edison, and its Wrights.

Has the race become degenerate? Are Twentieth Century Americans inferior to the
men who have composed this "dying race" for a hundred and forty years? In his dream the

Philosopher stood among the moors and fenland of ancient Scandinavia. Amid the fogs of
the old north countrec he lived again with the first Anglo-Saxons; moved with them through
sea and forest and mead hall as they hunted and feasted and conquered and sang, and
grappled with the mysteries of life as well as with the material obstacles that met their
path. Here was the Anglo-Saxon spirit in its very root. "So shall a prudent man do good
works," sang the oldest of gleemen: "By praiseworthy deeds man shall flourish in every
tribe." The Philosopher compared the two remote ages, and could find none of the elements
of the root lacking in the highest branch. In modern America he found a love of personal
freedom no duller than any that ever livened a Jute's or Angle's breast; he found the same
instinct of religion and reverence for woman, the same responsiveness to nature and the
lure of the sea, the same idea that the purpose of life is to "do good works." The last charge
to Wiglaf of the dying Beowulf has lived on through the ages, has found voice in Long-
fellow's "Excelsior," has appeared in Tennyson's message of the dying Merlin, and is evident
in another form in the calm statement of the American scientist^ "I believe that nothing is
impossible." So he knew that the "dying race" is not yet devitiated.

Then he bethought him of leadership, and in his dream his gaze rested upon the Ameri-
can colleges, the high places of the land, the hills up which a few of its men and women
toil to get a first glimpse of the distant, brightening gleam and point out to their eager com-
panions below the spot where the sun wvk\ rise. He reviewed the army of leaders that this
source has already supplied, and found it good — conscientious men, coming from the people
and educated for their service. And he knew that leaders would not be lacking.

So the dream became a vision, and the Philosopher read in each pessimistic cry not a
prophecy but a challenge. In each case he saw the inspired people rise to the situation, saw
them grapple earnestly with problems of immigration, of food supply, of conservation, of
monopolies and trusts, of capital and labor, of home purity, of graft, bribery, corruption^
and political dishonesty; saw the Anglo-Saxon spirit each time a victor; and beheld America
rise through a sea of troubles, higher and higher on every crest, toward the fulfillment of
its Creator's Purpose — its unfathomable mission, which perhaps only a few have guessed at
and none have ever dared to name.

Thus the Philosopher awoke, and stooping, picked up the cause of his reverie from the
rug beside his feet. And as he laid the magazine gently away on the shelf of the big table,
he smiled a broad smile of tolerance.

MY GIRL

Her profile's like a diamond clear,

Cleanly cut and true,
Her lips are red, she holds her head

As no one else can do;
Her hair is combed in pompadour,

Her nose is straight and small;
In fact, of girls I've quite a store,

But she is best of all.

THE SOUND THAT RINGS TRUE

By earl reed SILVERS. '13.

Have you ever heard the sound of a village fire gong at midnight? Out of the stillness
there suddenly vibrates through the air the deep quivering gong of alarm. The sleeper
is awakened from unconsciousness and the dreamer is aroused from his fairyland of dreams.
One and all sit upright and listen. Clear and deep sounds the bell, sending its message
ringing throughout the village — calling for men to arise from slumber and to fight for the
salvation of property. The sounding of a fire gong at midnight is always remembered by
those who hear. It impresses itself indelibly on the mind of the listener; it has a message
of importance. And finally, it is a sound that rings true. When the fire bell peals some-
thing has happened; there is no false note, and all who live in sound of the gong feel thril-
ling within them an inexplicable something which appeals to their better natures and instills
within them a desire to aid the fellow-man who is in trouble. The ringing of the bell is
firm and deep; there is no hesitating, no faltering. It has a message to give and it sends
it forth with a sound that rings true.

In the history of the past the sound that rings true has ever awakened the better nature
of man. In Rome, ages and ages ago, an Emperor by the name of Augustus Caesar builded
on the ruins of one empire another which was distinguished by a peace and prosperity such
as the world has never known. The ruler's chin was firm, his eye was clear, and his mouth
was moulded with the sinews of strength. When he had a thing to do he did it, explaining
to his subjects the reasons for his actions, and the people heard and cheered and worshipped
the leader, for his words had in them a sound that rang true. So it has been throughout the
history of the ancients; Caesar, Pericles, Alexander and other of the world's greatest men
have led armies to victories and nations to prosperity sinnply because with their wisdom and
genius was mingled the essence of the true.

In our own country conditions have been the same. The greatest leaders of our nation
have been those of the greatest strength of character. Strong of purpose, enduring of body,
clean of mind, they have stood true, not only to their country and their God, but to the best
that was in them — their soul. And by the efforts of these great men the United States has
arisen to a predominance among the nations of the earth; the people have drawn to them-
selves some of the greatness of their leaders and have come to recognize true worth from
the false.

It was this recognition of the truth that caused them to elect Abraham Lincoln President
of the United States. The speeches which the former rail splitter made during the election
campaign had in them a sound which rang true; there was no shifting of responsibility, no
dodging of issues; only a clear and concise statement of his policy in regard to some of the
most important questions which have ever confronted a nation. The directness of the quiet,
confident, and earnest candidate appealed to the people, and he was made their leader in
the crisis of the nation's life. His words had rung true, and after the election his actions
were symbolic of the truth. He solved problem after problem with an unparalleled

foresight, unswerving in his purpose, unchanging in his determination. When he issued his
Emancipation Proclamation, the South trembled with apprehension and the North quivered
with anticipation, for the word had been spoken by Lincoln and it was a sound that rang
true. And finally, when the slave had been given his freedom and the stain of this greatest
proof of man*s inhumanity to man had been wiped from this land of ours, the "Martyred
President" paid a final tribute to the men who had fought for the life of the nation and
wrote in the pages of history a speech which is a masterpiece in the literature of the world.
Lincoln was the greatest American; his name shall never die, for his actions were in ac-
cordance with his words and his words had in them a sound that rang true.

Today, no less than thirty years ago, great men are distinguished by the truth of their
actions and words.

In the narrow limits of our college life as well as in the world at large leadership
is symbolized by a mingling of the true. The college student who has earned the respect
of his companions and the love of his friends has sown the seeds of success. He has laid
the foundation of his greatness, he has paved the way for greater accomplishments.

But the man who has achieved success in his college career is not the one who has
flinched in the performance of duty or who has hesitated in striving toward his ideal.
He, too, must be strong of purpose and clean of mind; his daily actions must be in accord-
ance with his words, and his words must have in them the sound that rings true.

THE STORM

All alone and far from refuge,

I was wandering slow.
Suddenly the sky was darkened.

Ominous and low.
Came a rumbling roar.

Then deeper darkness seemed to flow.

Peace again! The sun in beauty

Sent its rays of cheer.
Yet a dire, deep destruction

Symbolized that here
Passed the tempest;

I, the human, only knew no fear.

Suddenly the rain descended,

In the mists around
Lightning darted, strangely, swiftly.

Heavily the sound
Of the deep and grumbling thunder

Echoed o'er the ground.

He who in this storm of nature

Watched my trusting soul.
As the lightning flashed around me

With its thunder's roll.
Through the storm of life will guide me.

Lead me to the goal.

Fair is my lady in form and face;

Fair and fragrant as breezes blown
From far-off forests in wildness place;

And full of a grace that is all her own.
Sweet and fragrant and fair is she —
Far too fair> alas, for me!

Clear is her mind as a mountain mere,
Whence thoughts, like a lucent river, flow.

Freighted with all things rich and dear
That the tale of the years gone by can show;

In all their learning her mind made free.

Why should she waste a thought on me?

Spotless her soul, and its radiant light
Brightens her path, and keeps her apart

From all that might sully or mar or blight,
To share the delight of the pure in heart

Who commune with God and His glory see —

Then how can she spare a glance for me?

She is lovely in thought and word and deed,
In outward semblance no less divine;

I am all unworthy my cause to plead,

Or to have her heed any prayer of mine!

She shines above me like some bright star;

While I — I worship her from afar!

THE RACE

By earl reed SILVERS, '13.

Crouching low, the runners wait
With their muscles strained and tense,
Eyes that stare and hearts that beat,
Only for a second fleet
Hangs the dread suspense.
Then the gun, the race begun.
They are off, the turn is passed.
And each runner^ first and last.
Like some wild, unbridled steed.
Struggles for the lead.

"Faster, faster," sings the crowd.
Eyes are bulging, breath is loud.
Half the distance gone.
"Faster, faster," beats the heart,
"Faster, faster," drums the mind.
Onward in the awful grind
Till each muscle seems to part
With the ache and strain;
Onward though it rips the heart
Into sections twain.
Faster speed, to lead, to lead,
Faster, faster, nor to heed
All the ache and pain.

Faster! Ah! the finish comes,
In the ear the throbbing drums.
Through the din the cheering hums
Like the far-heard sea;
Faster now; the strain! the strain!
Through the dullness of the pain
Sounds the echo, full and whole,
Faster, faster, to the goal.

Will the finish never come?
Oh, the pain! the strain! the hum!
Faster, faster, they are gaining,
Faster, faster, muscles straining.
Knees are failing, cheeks are paling,
Stagger on with jaw that hangs.
Struggle through the breathless pangs;
Faster, faster, one yard more,
Weak the body, limp the jaw^
Faster — ah! the end, the end!
Ready stands the waiting friend.
Blackness — and the race is o'er.

THE LOVE-EXCHANGE

My girl has eyes as deep and blue
As is the sky that smiles on you,
Her teeth are white as purest snow,
And even, like a dolTs, you know.

Her cheeks are like the pinkest rose;
She's got the cutest little nose,
Her lips are red and full, and she
Contracts them when she's mad at me.

Her face, at least to me it seems,
Is like the ones we see in dreams.

Although her face is sweet and fair,
It isn't for her looks I care,
I love her, though, and she loves me.
We've had a heart exchange, you see.

We once agreed to give away
Our hearts to someone for a day,
I gave my heart to her, and she
Refused to give it back to me.

Instead she gave me hers, and so
We love each other, don't you know.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SCARLET LETTER

By G. H. RAMSEY, '13.

It was in the April of 1871 that the first "Scarlet Letter" made its appearance. This
first edition was an outgrowth of the statistical supplements of the "Targums" of 1869 and
1870. As these supplements were merely large sheets, folded into four pages, and having
printed on their advertisement-like squares information concerning the Rutgers students and
their activities, little more would be expected in their substitute, and such was the case.'
Styled by the editors as a "magazine," it was composed of quaint, oddly printed, and un-
illustrated pages, bristling with statistical information. Only in the editorial pages did
the compilers allow themselves any literary freedom.

The first editors were five in number, chosen by the fraternities. Three of them were
Seniors and two Juniors and, though his name is not printed first on the list, George S.
Duryee, 72, was the instigator of the publication, and probably the most zealous of the
editors. The book was known as a Senior publication until 1885.

The second "Scarlet Letter" and in fact, those of the next fourteen years, were of much
the same character. That of 1872 added to its predecessor's fund of information a list of
fictitious clubs such as "Ye Jolly Boys' Cassino Club," "Ancient Order of Eaters," "Big
Stout Eaters of the Little Table," and the like — the beginning of the modern nonsensia de-
partment. The following year pseudo-class histories were introduced, bearing the sugges-
tive name, "Memories," and also a number of wood cuts and engravings, some of which
were apparently used for decorative purposes only in that it is impossible to decipher any
connection between them and the accompanying printed matter. A list of "Applicable
Quotations," which custom still survives in the form of the greatly dreaded upper class
epithets, was one of the features of the book.

Under like policies, the "Scarlet Letter" was published until 1887. In 1885, says the
editorial of that year, all rights to its publication were bequeathed by the Senior editors
to the scribes of the Junior class — and now that it be their publication, has become a firmly
established precedent.

The book published in 1887 by the fraternity members of the class of 1888 departed
materially from the accepted magazine form of publication. The editors issued a book in
whose hundred and fifty pages can be found all the various features and departments that
are familiar as essential to the "Scarlet Letter." Also the frontispiece is the first photo-
graphic reproduction of a college building in a Rutgers year book. This is a view of
Queen's Campus, taken in the summer time, and showing the Chapel and Queen's Building.

The past fourteen years have witnessed a gradual, but sure development. Each year
the Junior editors have attempted to improve upon the publication of the preceding board,
and to make their own "Scarlet Letter" the best annual in college history. The result of
this friendly rivalry has been the addition of new departments and the elimination of
useless, time-worn features — up to the present editions which, by contrast, make the books
of 1871 and their immediate followers appear mere pamphlets — wholly unlike our modern
college year book. This year the assuming of the responsibilities of the "Scarlet Letter"
publication by the Junior class as a whole, the old fraternity system having been dropped,
undoubtedly marks another step in the growth of our annual — a step which will enable it to
rank successfully with its competitors in other colleges.

ON THE DEATH OF A FRIEND

Good-night, beloved, good-night,

The mystery of death has turned to light,

Thy spirit has ascended, but its flight

Has left to us the sweetness of thy soul;

Life's dreams have ceased and, never more to roam,

Thy rest art found, and thou art home;

Good-night, good-night.

Farewell, beloved, farewell.

The peace of death is thine which none can tell«

Life's doubts and fears are o'er, the sounding knell

Of death has pealed its last and final note,

Truth, love and strength, these we have lost with thee,

Still, we are better for thy memory.

Farewell, farewell.

Editorials

Another year has passed. We say this at the beginning of each college term but, never
mind, we're going to say it again.

Another year has passed. The Tooter takes this opportunity to welcome the incoming
class of freshmen into old Rutgers. We think this is a good editorial. An editor always
ought to welcome incoming freshmen.

But — another year has passed. This time next year we can say the same thing again.
The Tooter always makes it a specialty to begin the term in this way. It helps fill up space.
And if any student wants to skip it over, he is perfectly welcome to do so. That's what
everyone does. Another year has passed.

Rutgers is a good college. It grew a number of years ago on the banks of the old Rari-
tan. We're glad that the freshman class has come. Come again, and bring your friends.
We always managed to squeeze through in our lessons somehow and we hope that you will
be able to do the same.

Another year has passed. May you say the same thing about yourselves after examina-
tions. This is our editorial. Another year has passed.

The Tooter believes that Rutgers should have velvet cushions on the seats in the
Grand-Stand. This would make the college famous and would also greatly augment at-
tendance at all baseball games. The College catalogue was wrong when it said we have
velvet cushions. We have only wooden seats. The Tooter stands for progress. It also
stands for velvet cushions on the Grand-Stands. They should be installed at once.

A good deal has been said about the honor system in Rutgers. This is an important
question. If the honor system is a good one and the students want it, let us adopt it. But,
if the honor system is not a good one and the students don't want it, let us not adopt it

The Tooter has spoken. The question is an important one.

WITH OTHER COLLEGES

A new swimming pool has been installed in Soapus University. The absence of pool
has hitherto made billiards the prevailing athletic sport.

Professor Hokus Pokus, of "See See and Why," has written a new book entitled, "He
Who Nose All."

Peevems College has at last been given a dormitory. It is hoped that now the students
down there will start to live.

New Pork University is situated on the banks of the Hudson. It is said on good author-
ity, however, that her favorite song is anything but "On the Banks."

MY GIRL

With apologies to the Targum.

Her breath ain't as sweet as the new mown hay,

I get a whiff of it every day,

Her teeth aren't even, as far as I've seen,

Her hands when she scrubs them are passably clean;

Her cheeks look like roses, but sometimes they ain't,

On Sundays, however, she dabs them with paint;

Her hair once was black, but it's changed now to yellow;

She told me she thinks I'm a peach of a fellow;

In fact, she's like other girls, laying for me,

Only she's different — she's caught me, you see.

SAYINGS of SORE-HEAD

By the Targum,

Some people think they're stars just because they happen to shine once in a while.
Wise, indeed, is the man who knows the pattern of his own pajamas.
A bull-dog is noted for his stick-to-it-tiveness, but most of us wouldn't have the face to
hold on as long as he does.

Smile and the world smiles with you — unless your teeth are bad.

Some girls have swelled heads just because their hair is puffed up a bit.

Some people are so popular that they continually go around telling other people about it.

SAYINGS of BONE-HEAD

By the Tooter.

Some fellows think they're sons just because they wear a sporty necktie and a college hat.

Weis, indeed, is the man who doesn't know the pattern of his own pajamas. They're
faded.

A bull-dog is noted for his stick-to-it-tiveness, but most of us would lose our teeth if we
held on so long.

Smile and the world smiles with you — especially if the joke's on you. It doesn't matter
so very much about your teeth.

Just because a person eats cream-puffs for dinner is no reason why he should be
puffed up.

Some people are so unpopular that they never say anything about it.

LAZY BONES

A Great American Novel — Published Complete in this Issue of the Tooter.

Chapter I. The Bell.

The sun had risen, but another son was still in bed. It was already eight but our hero
had not yet "ate." Moreover, he was sleepy.

'*If the President was as tired as I am would Dr. Demarest?'' he said, as he turnjed
over in bed.

Suddenly, the bell sounded, but the sound was not a ringing one. Here is where the
joke is on you.

It was only Whitfield Bell snoring at the other side of the room.

Chapter II. The Dream.

Our hero fell into a deep sleep. The fall, however, did not hurt him in the least. He
then dreamed that a miracle had happened. He thought that compulsory Chapel had been
abolished. He dreamed that there was no more drill.

"Gee," he muttered to himself, "if there isn't any Chapel in the morning what will Prof.
Billetdoux?"

He awoke with a start. It was eight-thirty, and he realized that he had been dreaming.

"Oh, Keller," he said, "would that I could sleep some more."

"Is breakfast waiting?" he asked a moment later.

"No," answered his roommate; "but Dr. Davis."

Aside, our hero sighed a sigh of monstrous size and, discouraged, walked disconsolately
to the French recitation.

Chapter III. Stuck.

On the way upstairs in Queens he looked into the Philosophy room.

"Is Dr. Marvin?" he asked his companion.

"No," answered the one addressed; "he'Slater than usual."

As our hero walked into the French recitation a thought struck him. He withstood the
shock.

"If second year French would make Harold Terrill would it make Ray Howell?" he
asked the prof.

"Vou may leave the room," said the Professor sternly. "You're stuck."

Chapter IV. The End.

This is the last chapter. We haven't any more room in the Tooter,
Our hero walked down the cold stairs. He was met by cold stares wherever he went.
Two students were talking in the lower hall.

"If he should quit college would it make Jacob Chobricher?" asked one.
"I Gant say," answered his companion, who was suffering from a cold in the head.
Our hero fell down in a faint.
"Get up," urged a terror-stricken freshman.
"I Gant, I Gant," muttered the victim.

Then he fainted again and the college watched mournfully as they bore him away
unconscious to the Dormitory.

After the Dance

MISQUOTED QUOTATIONS

•'And some have lateness thrust upon them." — Mr. Upson.

"The faces of the hoary lead but to the shave." — Banks.

"Farewell, a long farewell to all my sedateness." — Nelson.

"When I have bossed the Barr." — Ramsey.

"The noblest Herrman of them all.*' — Bill H.

"Let not ambition mock the midnight oil." — Campbell.

PICKED UP AROUND COLLEGE

ONE ON BROWNIE.

Brownie, to Freshman during football season — "Don't you know me, I'm Captain
Alverson."

Innocent Freshie, much impressed — "Gee, I thought you were Coach Gargan "

WANTED— A GIRL.

Billy Gay, before the Prom. — "Savt, do any of you fellows know of a girl who's going
stag to the Junior?"

OR HIS HEAD.

Freshman, after being thrown heavily against the piano in the Quad Room — "Naw, it
didn't hurt; I struck the soft pedal."

THE WINE OF LIFE

Taken from Ted Pockman's letter from Turkey — "Last night I lay in a gondola in one
of the canals, drinking it all in, and life never seemed so full before."

THE RACE OF MAN.

A freshman, in answer to the question, "What are the five great races of mankind?"
answers — "The one hundred yard dash, the high hurdles, the quarter mile, the half and
the mile."

SOME KNOCKING.

Freshman fusser, to his fair companion — "Yes, my roommate is just like me — making
witty remarks half the time."

Fair One — "Oh, yes, I see; sort of half witted."

STUNG.

"One thing about corporal punishment," remarked Slater after Pedagogy recitation, "at
least it makes the pupils smart."

WITHOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE.

Extract from a father's letter to his son in Rutgers:

"It seems to me that ycu are spending too much money and therefore I am going to
keep you strictly on your regular allowcnce. Everything is all right at home. Your mother,
the gocd woman spoils you as usual. Enclosed you will find a check for fifteen dollars
which she sends without my knowledge. Lovingly, Father."

AN AWKWARD PAUSE.

A certain student at Rutgers was out fussing. The conversation turned to the new Col-
lege song book.

"Who wrote the seventh song, anyhow?" said the girl. "It's the worst thing I ever
heard."

"Oh," answered the student, "I wrote that."

"Er, er," stammered the fair maiden in distress. "I didn't mean the music, that's fine.
It's the words. Who wrote that slush, anyway?"

Student — "Why, er, my brother wrote them."

There was an awkward pause.

Harold Schenck

With apologies to Life.
There lives within the Junior rank
A blooming youth called Harold Schenck.

Ah me! I have myself to thank,

I first pronounced it Harold Shank.

But next we learned from Johnny Enk,
The proper way was Harold Skenk.

But then, if 't rhymes with German "denk,'
Why not pronounce it Harold Shenk

But now we've found — the thought has "sank,"
To say it right is Harold Skank.

And since Tve found the proper way,
I call him Schenkie every day.

"A man he was — to all his countrv Stier.'

It always takes a little man to make a big fuss.

Mary had a little bird;

She kept it in a cage,

One day a cat espied it there —

Let's turn another page.

One day upon the street,

Mary had a bathing suit.

She said it was a peach.

But when she wore it out one day —

They shooed her off the beach.

DON'T Miss It--Saves_You_$65

Special Limited Offer to Scarlet Letter Readers of 100 Latest

MODEL 8 j\MERICAN TYPEWRITERS

This special offer gives you a high-grade Typewriter at $35, the lowest price at which
a standard machine has ever been sold, and on easy terms. The American will do the work
of the $100 machines at high speed, and is covered with the same guarantee. It is their equal
because it has every essential feature; 1200 cumbersome, troublesome and easily broken
parts of other machines have been eliminated. Its simplicity of construction, the absence
of the thousand and one little levers, bars, screws and springs which make the cost of $100
machines accounts for this unequaled offer. The absence of all these complicated parts
makes the American tip the scales at 12 pounds. It's the only high grade machine that is
really portable. The fundamental point of American superiority is the single type-bar-
one-piccc of steel ncn-bendable and unbreakable by any stroke that can be delivered on
the key, and this is the cause of its simplicity, durability, efficiency and compactness.

The Hanover Shoe— $3.00

STYLE PRE-EM INENCE

The striking smartness of Hanovers enables you to "spot** them anywhere, any time,
on anybody. They*ve got a rollicking, nifty air, chic expression and unmistakable custom
tang that*s all their own.

This note of distinction is only partly responsible for the wonderful popularity of Han
overs. They're the best known and most worn $3 shoes in the world. Other reasons
for the pre-eminence of Hanovers is shape retention, Btting qualities, solid comfort and
durabflity.

And all this for $31 Looks like a gold brick to many, but it*s a good one to buy.
Big sales and the elimination of three middlemen does the trick. Wont you get in line?
