Senior Class History HE small chapter added to the history of our Alma Mater by the Class of Seventeen may not be thumbed and worn by those who will succeed us in the coming years, but to us it is bound with heart-cords, impassioned with the endearing touches of heart-love, and overflowing with joy-tinctured memoriesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the treasure-vault of the future.

It is now finished, be it praiseÂ

worthy or not, and these familiar and homelike scenes will be changed to others hidden behind tomorrow's curtain. Many and varied have been our individual achievements during the fast and everchanging four years.

Some of our number have entered into the holy bonds of matriÂ

mony, though only a few have died a natural death.

Others anticipating such domestic

tranquility have passed many blissful hours in sundry parlors basking in the softly-soothing and sacchariferous sunlight of the serene and siren smiles.

We have produced an

admirable quota of athletes, whose endeavors have added materially to our pride.

the year of ' 13 and ' I 4 we furnished half the men on the championship football and basketball teams, and have had a fair representation in each Varsity squad since that year. The year of our advent was marked by the graduation of a number of notably strong men, whose standards of scholarship we have tried to emulate, and with a feeling of pardonable pride we go on record as a class that has maintained an excellently high scholastic average. In forensic, fraternal, religious, social and Mexican circles we have always held reserved seats. Having matriculated when the college was situated on the old site in the city, we feel that we are the last connecting link in the memory chain that binds our Alma Mater to her past life.

With our exit goes the last remembrance of Memorial, Central

and DeLand Halls, and the old scenes loved and cherished by our alumni. old to the new and we came with it!

From the

We learned to love the new as we did the old,

but the reverence due the old still lies in our hearts.

The future will be utter strangers

to all but the new, and somehow this fact tinges us with sadness. "The hand is at the lip bidding adieu," and the affection claimed by the college somewhat calms our world-conquering exhilarations.

What we have given does not

compensate for the Pierian elixir we have imbibed, but the deficit in the scales is balanced by love and loyalty.

Not content with two degrees, and thoroughly con vinced of the fact that no man can know too much, he decided that the third degree should be the charm, so picked R. C. as the place to win it.

The enthusi

Senior Law Class History ITH the kind acquiescense of the reader I will define a class history of the law class as a "testimony," for within its borders are portrayed the efforts and struggles of the so-called quasi-lawyers, and, also, does it not testify to the patience, tenacity and efficiency of both the students and instructors ? Long will we remember that day, the fifteenth of September in the year of our Lord 1915, when the class of 1917 timidly enrolled at Richmond College to pursue the study of the legal profession, with high ambitions and much confidence in its ability, and not knowing what a vast and complicated field it was about to enter.

However, within a

very short time we began to realize that we were greatly mistaken in our first conception of the law as to its many theories, functions and the tremendous amount of concentration of thought and study it required.

But not to be defeated, we fought on, working, striv

ing and wondering as the end drew near what the outcome would be. Often have we heard that familiar quotation, "Some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them;" and, although this be true and we all concur that to be great is to be a lawyer, but only a few are born lawyers, and yet fewer still have the profession thrust upon them. greatness if we shall become great.

So we must achieve

But what will you say the class

Have we not attempted to master the mooted doc

trines of the law which make up that code of justice by which humanity must be governed and protected?

Have we not sat at the feet of the great McNeill recording diligently

the great theories of contracts and of the common law and with much timidity ventured to put forth theories of our own only to be told they were wrong, or not practical? And have we not heard the inimitable Tucker as he carefully and deliberately dis sected and analyzed the Constitution of the United States, until many of us became intoxicated with the great inspiration to reach the heights of fame as constitutional lawyers ? And has not the popular Moore, with his clear analytical mind propounded the numerous principles of the law of real property until we wondered if they were not as numerous as the sands of the sea? And finally, oh! ye faint-hearted, have we not listened to the amiable Chichester as he strove with untiring effort to unravel the many perplexing questions of evidence? Have we not done ALL THIS? Yes, we have dreamed dreams, many of which were of success, while others were of poverty, but as the evening shades are falling we realize we cannot stay forever within the portals of Alma Mater.

We do not boast of what we have done or that our failures

have been few, but rather do we meekly bow in leaving as our course is run. today, tomorrow a new life," taps blend with reveille—good-bye."

Junior Class History EPTEMBER, 1914, is the 1776 for Richmond College.

It witnessed

the opening of Greater Richmond College and the gathering of a student body fully capable of upholding the reputation of the college for greatness. Concerning Greater Richmond College is another story, and we can only refer you to a member of the "Million Dollar Campaign Committee."

Our duty is to

sing the praises of the class of '18, and the natural way of doing so is to record our achievements. Our first

claim to greatness is along academic lines.

Among those who are dis

tinguished for academic discipleship, the class of '18 boasts a goodly number.

Max

Glass, Albert C. Cheetham, Meade Spicer, Jr., "Lord" Dunford, and Taylor Cole man have made A's until they no longer feel the thrill that comes to most of us when we manage to register among the select. In athletics we have our share of the wearers of the coveted "R." mention a few of our class who have obtained athletic distinction.

We can only

"Mac" Pitt, our

sterling quarterback, and Milbourne, our famous end, are members of our class.

may be of interest to know before passing to the chronology of other athletic achieve ments by members of our class to note that Pitt and Milbourne were picked by the best of critics for positions on an all-Eastern Virginia eleven.

"Dick" Wood is the present

captain of the basketball team, and "Mack" Pitt leads the baseball team.

Others

who have attained athletic distinction are "Tiny" Wicker, "Dick" Broaddus, and "Scrub" Corr. We are not lacking in business ability.

E. W. Miller has carried the Collegian

Cheetham is editor of the Messenger

Coleman is the present assistant to the immor

tal "Joy" Sutherland in editing the leading college weekly.

In debating and forensic

circles, E. W. Miller holds first place among our celebrities.

He has twice represented

Richmond College in the Intercollegiate Prohibition Oratorical Contest, and on one occa sion he triumphed over all his opponents.

Anderson, Abrams, Cheetham, Skinner, Til

ler, Simpson and others of us are noted in debate and oratory. In interclass activities we are again in the limelight.

We won the interclass basket

ball championship in our Sophomore year, and will be ready to meet all comers when the whistle announces future events of this nature. We do not intend to rest upon our laurels even though they be so great.

It is our

purpose to trample under foot discouragements, turn obstacles into opportunities and to endure to the end of our college course.

No professor has the license to flunk

us on

the home stretch, and of course we do not entertain any far-fetched delusion of losing out.

(Hip-Pocket Essay)

"The Night Law School" BY " JOY" HE night law school is the only atrocity of which the Teutons are not guilty.

They invented the gas bomb and

the U-boat, but emphatically deny any connection with the aforementioned dark and sinister arrangement.

It is

a sort of a cross between a bedroom and a phony film, running from five o'clock to twenty-eight minutes after hugging time, and leaving the embryonic Gladstone wondering whether to dash his brains out with a cigarette or join the "Holy Rollers."

The dark hours were chosen

in order that ignorance might remain hidden, which time was illogical, because all "Chicks" should go to roost early.

Beelzebub heard about

these nocturnal legalities, and straightway romodeled his domain.

Law足

yers don't need athletics, since by the present method they wrestle all morning with their law problems, run out for a cigarette between lec足 tures, and push the electric light buttons, which strenuous exertions work hardships upon them that leave them physical wrecks and utterly un足 able to hold their own or anybody else's. Its greatest benefit is that it allows the students to cultivate that extremely fashionable and lucra足 tive habit of lying in bed until noon; and then arising with that dull languor and ennui that looke so distingue.

Unless some modern Joshua

duplicates the orders of the son of Nun, the law department will still be the nightmare of the college, and praises to the orginator of that calamity will be about as scarce as bachelors at a baby show.

Junior Law Class History OOKING back on the days of academic work, the Junior "lawyers" can call a year in the law school "something different."

We may not be able

to say just how far we have come on our journey, nor at what point in our new field

of endeavor we have arrived, yet, like the war correspondent

on the Somme front who says, "Somewhere in France," we might say we are "Somewhere in law." We consider the above simile apt, for indeed it has been a battle, not of guns, but of wits; and often have we felt, after contradicting ourselves three times, while the hands of the clock stood still, when driven to seek safety in silence under a crossfire of logic, loaded in supposititious shells, that there are other places just as bad as the Somme front. Because of this defensive position, we have been forced, like our President, to assume an attitude of "watchful waiting." Hostilities began with instructive lectures concerning the large amount of concentrative work involved in the coming campaign, and the necessity of the "soldier" realizing its nature—and at the present time all seem to agree that this forecast was correct. The war department decided, at the beginning of the fall drive, that all attacks should be carried on under cover of darkness, or just before, when the shadows of evening cast their lengths upon the field

of battle, the theory of the strategy being that the enemy

would be less alert, and less capable of mastering the fine points of the enemy's attack. Unofficial reports from headquarters are to the effect that the present plan of campaign will be abandoned at the end of the great spring offensive.

However, this matter rests

entirely with the War Department, and we wish them a wise decision. But enough of this war "dope." sented among those fighting toonist for the "Collegian."

Despite certain inconveniences, our class was repre

for Alma Mater on the gridiron, and we furnished the car Other celebrities appear among our number.

The Col

lector of Internal Revenue for Richmond we are proud to say is one of us.

We can't

mention all, but these will show we take our proper place in college affairs. After seven months of law, we have reached the point where we are beginning to know how to study it; to know when we can laugh in class; when an examination is not hard enough; what a professor means when he says, "We will suspend here for five minutes"; that there is no such farm as "Blackacre"; but not until June (the month of the roses) will we know who knew enough about it. Now that our first have completed the first

year beyond the pale of the mere layman has passed and we lap of our journey, we turn our faces confidently toward the

tomorrow, with the one cherished hope in our common bosom, that we each will "roll a seven."

Sophomore Class History N the Sepoy insurrection, a few decades ago, India's millions were com pletely subjugated by those few thousand intrepid Englishmen whose valor and bravery were immortalized by Lord Tennyson's great poem, "The Defense of Lucknow."

Quantity is helpless when pitted against quality.

True, indeed, the Class of Nineteen-nineteen may not excel all previous records in mere numerical strength; nevertheless, she can quite justly be proud of her achievements, her capabilities, and her prospects. Her achievements as a Freshman organization form a record of which we may each be justly proud.

Her capabilities, as one of the most determined and the most fraternal

Sophomore class yet seen, form a fitting

basis for unlimited pride and undying loyalty.

And her prospects—ah! who can tell what sparks of genius she may enkindle within her midst, lit by the glowing ambition and zealous desire of proving full worthy and lastingly appreciative of the noble reputation of our beloved Alma Mater? There is no phase of life within our college walls which does not receive our willing and loyal support, and there has been no work of any nature undertaken wherein the influence of our class has not been felt, and felt distinctly.

In all societies, and organiza

tions, religious and social, we indisputably have strong representation. Upon the athletic "field of battle" our class has made an enviable reputation.

less than one-third of the football men who won their blood-bought "R's" are from within our humble midst.

In the world of basketball and upon the track several of our

members have proved their endurance and ability, and from every indication we shall indubitably show ourselves of lasting and indispensable value amid the accomplishments of the present year upon the diamond. Lastly, but of foremost importance, in the records of collegiate standing, our rating as a class is indeed an honor of which we might even indefinitely expatiate, but we are not a class of words; our motto is beyond action—it is ACCOMPLISHMENT!

Freshman Class History OW marvelous the sounds that greeted the newcomers on the campus at 12:30 Friday night, September 15, 1916. OUT!"

"RATS

Then the largest "Rat" class entering Richmond

College was corraled and driven to the Stadium.

Beautiful was

the harmony of the songs that rang out on the midnight air, punctuated by the sounds made by the instruments of torture wielded by the Sophs. The speeches commanded the utmost respect of all hearers. Give ear, O ye gods, what eloquence!

Demosthenes, Cicero, and the rest, surely

thy fame is waning! History repeated itself as the "Rat" caps, rules and regulations govern足 ing us came in quick succession.

Then the "Rat" banquet (may its memory

live long in the hearts of us all!), being the crowning success of the entire season.

What matters it that we had to sleep on the floor?

We are justly proud that we bring the largest representative class that f as ever entered.

More states and nations are represented in our number than

any other class of the present time.

In scholarship, literary societies and

athletics (?) , as a class we have measured up to the standard, and with pride we can say we are fighting

for the success of R. C.

Before us stands a glorious history, and far be it from us to add another page to the college history, without leaving an unsurpassed record to inspire the classes that will enter in the coming years to a great sense of their obliga足 tion to Alma Mater. As the year draws to a busy close and the events of the "Rat" year fade into the shimmering haze of memory, before us opens the new gateway of Endeavor, through which we may gaze, our hearts aflame with a resolve to be worthy possessors of the Spider name and spirit; to do or die for the glory of R. C. Such is the history of ye Rats. And a glorious reward!

Happy memories!

Richmond forever!

Sublime endeavor!

Selah!

Resume of Football Season, 1916 BY CO ACH DOBSON O college could boast of brighter prospects at the close of the 1915 football season for the following year than ours, but as in the preceding year, they were shot to pieces.

Through the regular channels we knew Captain

Coburn and Tackle Durham would be lost to us, as they had finished their careers, but when the roll was called we found that Roden, Privott, and McNeil had entered V. P. I., and Sanford and Poff failed to return and Cosby went to the border with the militia.

Thus from a squad of twelve letter men only four

reported, destroying as fine a nucleus as the college ever had. Oakes, a letter man of the 1914 champions, returned, and the rest is a story of what good, second string men can do with an opportunity, for only one Freshman earned a letter. Captain Robins, at right tackle, and "Tiny" Wicker, at left halfback and quar ter, brought to a close the best football records since my coming to Richmond College. Both were unanimously chosen for their respective positions by the coaches of the "Asso ciation," and in games against the "big fellows" showed to the same advantage. Whittet and Milbourne on the ends outplayed most of their opponents. giants on defense and the former an excellent forward pass receiver.

Dorsey, left guard, was the only first-class

man the Freshmen pro

His work was of the highest order and he should develop into an excellent guard.

Henderson, a letter man from V. P. I., and Shepherd, a substitute, divided the work at center.

The former was handicapped all year with bad ankles and knees, but

played a good game nevertheless.

Shepherd improved rapidly, and only a lack of time

for practice kept him from doing himself justice. In the backfield five men got letters, four of them being former Richmond Academy players.

"Mac" Pitt, at quarterback, displayed the keenest generalship and all-round

ability of any man he opposed.

Nineteen seventeen should be a banner year for him.

Tom Miller, at fullback, showed an excellent brand of offensive football in every depart ment.

Speed and a good stiff arm were his chief assets.

His tackling on defense was deadly.

Jolliff was handy man, playing fullback and both halfbacks, and in each position his work was commendable.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIE S Our first championship game was staged at Broad Street Park October 21st, with Hampden-Sidney as our opponents.

Both teams were on edge for the game and evenly

matched, although our rivals were conceded the individual honors.

The game brought

out a great variety of plays, but each team was so keyed up defensively that nothing gained consistently.

After an exchange of kicks in the first

quarter, with us having a

great advantage, due to the success of a quick punt, we gained the ball about thirty yards from H.-S.'s goal.

The only steady advance of the game took place and Kuyk went

over for a touchdown.

Hampden-Sydney alone looked formidable before the

At the first three places only one letter man was to be found, namely,

Waters, Robertson and Wood, respectively, while the Tigers boasted of three or four. On the pre-season trip we made a creditable showing against Virginia, losing 30 to 2 1. The next night at Staunton we won a hard-fought game from S. M. A., score 20 to 16. At Lexington we lost to W. & L., 34 to 17; and to V. M. I., 32 to 23.

These games

showed clearly that the team would be about equally strong on offense and defense, also that a spirit of unselfishness, so essential to a basketball team's success, was very apparent. But six men played, with Tyson and Robinson, E. S., alternating at center.

Dickerson

The second game with

the Tigers at college was the finest exhibition of coming from behind that could be seen. The Tigers opened with a whirlwind attack, the score at the half time being 18 to 9 in their favor.

With the beginning of the second half the Spiders reversed matters and

tied the score before H.-S. scored.

The game was sensational and ended in a tie.

The

most remarkable game in the history of the sport resulted, since three additional periods of five minutes each were necessary before we were able to nose out a victory by a score of 30 to 29.

Captain Wood won the game with a goal from the foul line.

The usual last minute thrill that is a part of all Yellow Jacket basketball games with us was not lacking.

It fell to the lot of Dickerson and Corr to furnish it.

This

was, however, a very costly victory, since Captain Wood was lost to the team for the balance of the season.

He suffered a badly wrenched hip.

The fact that the championship had

been decided before this game was played in no way influenced the determination of the players to win, and the game was one of the season's best exhibitions.

Resume of 1916 Baseball Season BY COACH DOBSON HE beginning of better baseball prospects can be credited to the past sea足 son, although we were forced to be content with third place in the chamionship series.

The team played a very strenuous series in North Carolina,

meeting with fair success, and upon its return met the International League team in two pretty games, followed by a victory over the Union Theological Seminary, and two wins out of three starts against the J. M. H. S. team. The most important victory preceding the championship series was a clean-cut, ten-inning game with the Uni足 versity of South Carolina.

Score, 3 to 2.

The catching department was taken care of by Blankenship and Craven, and both made a creditable showing.

Cox, of the 1915 team, and Jolliff and Knight, Fresh足

men, made up the pitching staff.

Cox's experience made him the choice for the most

part, although Jolliff pitched several first-class

games.

Knight was troubled with a

sore shoulder all season, but showed up fairly well, especially in a shut-out game he pitched against the John Marshall team. Crossley at first found himself and played the best game in the association. a Freshman, at second did good work.

R . A . CLUB Richmond Academy Club Youve got to hand it to this club and the school they represent!

It has been said that without

Richmond Academy, Richmond College would have cause to worry about her existence, and we are inclined to believe it.

The little school, now located on the hallowed spot where the "Old College" once

stood, has furnished many a good man and strong, and they are continuing to do so. the entire 'Varsity backfield last fall was made up of former Academy men. of the caliber of men bred there.

Just an example—

And that is only an example

Really, we say, you've got to hand it to them.—(EDITOR.)

"College Life" (Hip-Pocket Essay)

BY "JOY" I OLLEGE life is four years' training in the great American art of filling in a pair of queens to three aces, and costs the old man more money than a string of race horses, chronic indigestion, and five mar riageable daughters.

Every college man is supposed to be called "Old

Hoss," smoke a bull-dog pipe, habilitate himself in a young but blinding Aurora Borealis, and make love to nineteen separate and distinct blonds during each twentyfour hours of his Pierian endeavor.

Moreover, he is compelled by a hoary-headed

brigade of unfeeling, knowledge-saturated automatons to store, in four years, under his adored and pompadoured thatch every recorded action and thought of man since Cain beaned his brother Able with a billiard cue, but the average student goes one better, and swills the entire batch from Sapho to Senator Stone on the last night before exams.

College life for the most part is made up of three things—

broke, bull, and beans—though at times the monotony is varied by quadratic equasions, prunes, and hops (both kinds).

Each student upon his arrival is pumped

full of that irresponsible insanity called college spirit, which consists in opening the mouth seven inches wider than nature permits, and holding the high C of a steam caliope with a busted boiler, from the first

call for candidates until the last

championship game has become ancient history.

College life would be enjoyable

if class attendance was optional and tests and examinations were eliminated, but when one must sit for fifty

minutes listening to such nonsense as federal govern

ment and Shakespeare, and then at the end of the term be compelled to crib for five solid hours in order to make an A, it's enough to make the meek and lowly pacifists arise in mighty wrath and boot Von Hindenburg into the Baltic.

Awards "It is not our intentions, but our deeds that count in the final

judgment."

O H. M. Sutherland the editor is deeply indebted for his valuable contributions to this volume, and the manner in which he responded when asked to assist has been a source of inspiration to the editor. To O. F. Tabler and R. B. Gayle the thanks of the editor are hereby extended for their assistance, in the "wee small hours of the night," taking dictation and helping in other ways. To Charles C. Johnson, ex-'19, the editor owes an undying debt of gratitude for his untiring efforts to make the artistic part of this volume a success, and whatever of success is achieved in that line is due entirely to his perseverance, skill, willingness, and love for his Alma Mater. To Coach Dobson the editor is indebted for valuable contributions and suggestions. To the other members of the staff, those who really did a big part of a "man's size job," the editor and manager extend their thanks. To Weston Bristow the college, as well as the editor, owes its thanks for his assistance at a time when it was badly needed. To J. A. Leslie, '16, the thanks of the editor are extended for his valuable contributions. The editor desires to thank that portion of the student body whose absolute lack of interest whatever in the performance of what was plainly their duty to their college and those laboring for it, were satisfied to "let things slide" and trust in a blind providence that is neither of economic value nor of aesthetic inspiration.

A comrade blithe and full of glee. Who dares to laugh out loud and free. As she ivall(s a mile rvith me."

Just such a comrade is Eleanor, as she swings along the

walks of

Westhampton, her

blue

tam o' shanter on the back of her head and a laugh in her eyes.

It's true she is getting

very stout, weighing at least one hundred and eight pounds, but we hope that her hard work at the physics laboratory will keep her from going above the hundred and ten mark, for she vehemently declares that would be awful. We dare you to ask

her a question.

Her

knowledge of all the big words in the English vocabulary is uncanny.

Sometimes they come

as an avalanche upon the unsuspecting head of

a poor "prof," but it surely gives her a

prestige that makes her classmates envious.

For

Because it is

to Eleanor we go when in trouble, it is she who advises us and helps us—always looking at things with such sane, dear judgment, that one never leaves her without feeling helped and cheered along the some time uphill col lege path.

When she laughingly calls out to

us, "Put on your rubbers," or "Where's your umbrella?" each one of

us is deeply glad

that we have a "Ma" at college.

Class Day

MONG the many customs which were begun the first

year of Westhampton, none

have proved to be more attractive than the daisy chain.

The spirit between sister

classes is first publicly disclosed at the Junior-Freshman wedding in the fall, and continues throughout the two years of college life. The daisy chain is the last labor of love which the Sopho足 mores offer their departing sisters. During the year each Senior chooses a Sopho足 more who will accompany her in the daisy chain procession.

On Class Day of commencement the

members of the Sophomore Class arise, some time during the wee sma' hours, and weave the abund足 ance of plucked daisies into this massive chain. In 1916 the daisy chain breakfast was initiated. After the chain is completed the Seniors entertain their chosen Sophomores at breakfast in the cloister. When the Class Day exercises begin the Seniors approach the out-of-door stage, accom足 panied by the Sophomores, bearing the daisy chain.

This scene is made impressive by

the contrast between the Seniors, clad in cap and gown, and the Sophomores, fairy-like in filmy dresses of white. After the program is completed the two classes united form a W, thereby turning their class spirit into loyalty to their Alma Mater.

EAR anyone in Westhampton say "Prexy," and you will detect right away that a personality is behind that word.

Become acquainted with

"Prexy" for yourself, and quite unconsciously you will find ing the name with that same ringing note in your voice.

yourself utter

"Prexy," officially,

by right of discovery and acquisition, is the mascot of the Class of 1919, but by the mere strength of his personal conviction, he holds the chair of "Unlimited Privileges" in the hearts of the entire school.

He isn't the cocked ear and the gleaming eye, and he

isn't the oblique canter and the bark, with pipe organ variations; "Prexy" is "Prexy," an individual personality. Under the rough white coat, bearing marks of close association with the coal pile, is the "Prexy" with his ardent love of the crowd—especially the crowd in motion; his prompt affiliation with college activities; his faithful attendance upon lectures; his impar tial affections; his insistence upon his own comfort; his devotion to sleeping, and his discrimination with regard to beds. It was "Prexy" who convened the first faculty meeting of the session, the President and the Dean discussing his entrance points.

It was "Prexy" who conferred on Miss

Keller an M.D. Special for skillful nursing which led to his almost miraculous recovery from a severe case of poisoning (the result of an injudicious experiment upon a reptile banquet).

It was "Prexy" who had the lion's share of honor in christening the Soph

omore boat, giving his good name and blood (the latter through the carelessness of the sponsor as she broke the bottle at the bow).

Selected by Freshmen to hang in effigy,

it w as the potency of his n ame that aroused the two strongest classes in college, en masse, to prodigious deeds of valor—all in the cold, still winter dawn. At Christmas, five

invitations for spending his holiday having been received, a

decision was reached finally

with the able assistance of an advisory committee; and for a

time "Prexy" exchanged his academic diet of chocolates and fig newtons for cornbread from the hand of Mrs. McDaniel. One does not care to dwell on how sad a place Westhampton would have been this year without him; but we believe that his work of greatest renown is yet unaccom plished.

"Prexy" has shown himself to be a dog of ambitions.

This fact, together

with the numerous and marvellous escapes 'neath automobiles, points toward preservation for a glorious destiny yet unfulfilled.

A Midnight Mystery DRAMATIS PERSONAE PROFESSOR C. LODIUS RATFESSOR. PROFESSOR DOCELDER FATFESSOR. MR. A. KISS (not guilty). Miss DEENKELLER. PROFESSOR FISICS, a fancier of fowls. His lady. His scullion. A throng of unmarried professors an d professoresses.

ACT I. 1 he scene is laid in Miss Deenkeller's spacious drawing room. where near the end of a faculty party. phere.

The time is some

A scientific aroma of fudge pervades the atmos

Brilliant conversation flashes briskly pro an d con, with all the hilarity of a S opho

more mass meeting.

In fact, the noise, had it been on the second corridor, Would have

disturbed the equilibrium of any conscientious proctor. A.

Kiss

(with enthusiasm) :

Ha! Ha! I am in such a jolly mood, The company's delightful—and the food. Professor Ratfessor, the hero of the drama, notices the finis of the fudge en route via Professor Fatfessor, and deftly extracts his watch from his right hip pocket with his left hand.

RATFESSOR (soliloquizing to the rest of the company) : The hour is late—I fear me cats do walk; We needs must hie us hence from this sweet talk.

DEENKELLER (tongue protruding) : Ah, boy, you fear the ravages of him, The dreadful Doctor Fisics and his whim.

RATFESSOR (confidently reaching this time in his left hip pocket with his right hand) : But, madam, here I have my trusty key, And thus will enter unobserved—see? (Discovers absence of trusty weapon, and staggers, almost swooning.) Oh, now he'll surely tear me limb from limb! What gallant knight will me protect from him? FATFESSOR (rising rotundly): Stand forth!

A plan to you I will unfold.

I have no fear of Fisics and am bold!

Page livo hundred eighty-four

RATFESSOR (with emotion) : I follow on, my friend, both true and tried, And I will stay with thee whate'er betide.

LADIES (fluttering in c oncert) : Farewell, farewell, brave knights and strong, adieu! O may no harm or hurt come unto you! Exeunt. Curtain

ACT II. Just outside Professor Fisics' dwelling on the brow of the hill overlooking the cartrackâ&#x20AC;˘

The scenery consists principally of moonless n ight, splutter of matches, and muffled

profanity.

Enter Ratfessor a nd Fatfessor stealthily.

FATFESSOR (in hoarse stage whisper) : Old Fisics must not know the hours you keep, So softly to the window let us creep.

RATFESSOR: Now on! but gently lest the sleeping fowls Should wake and blend their voices with the owls.

FATFESSOR (ashen with agitation): O hist!

Methinks I hear a dreadful roar!

RATFESSOR (with brave assurance): Be calm, 'tis only Doctor Fisics' snore. This wall is windowlessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and cold it grows, And every time I step I stump my toes.

RATFESSOR (joyfully): Eureka! I have found the kitchen sill! Just thrust me through the window, if you will. Professor Fatfessor begins carefully to hoist Professor Ratfessor upon said kdchen sill. Suddenly there co mes the sharp report of tearing serge.

FATFESSOR (sternly): Such noise, my boy, you really must not make; Old Fisics soon will cause us both to quake.

RATFESSOR (almost tearfully): Have pity, friend, pray do not rant and rail, My progress is impeded by a nail. (Cains the eminence.) At last in safety have I scaled the wall, And now to make my passage through the hall.

Page two hundred eighty-five

FATFESSOR (interrupting): But one word more—your leathern boots remove, Their Steinly squeak your presence sure will prove.

RATFESSOR (much touched) : A timely thought, and I your counsel take. Now softly in my socks, lest Fisics wake, I'll hie me to my chamber and to bed. Let naught of this adventure ere be said. Farewell, my friend, you are a bully boy, A comrade true, your mother's pride and joy. All peace and health attend you on your way— But ere you go allow me just to say, My fate ere this, had it not been for you, Had been a sorry one.

FATFESSOR:

Farewell!

Adieu! Curtain

ACT III. Interior of the Fisics' dwelling. act.

Utter darkness.

The time is immediately after that of the preceding

Suddenly there comes a loud peal of telephone.

A light is

flashed on.

Fisics'

voice (from above) :

The night is chill and cuts me to the bone, But I must answer that darned telephone. Who dares to call me at this awful hour? I'd wring his neck if it were in my power! Fisics appears at the head of the stairway, clad appropriately, and descends.

The

telephone continues to ring until he grabs it savagely, and chokes it.

Fisics: Hello!

This is the number that you seek.

Is that my scullion Minnie?

Why this freak

Of calling me forth from my downy couch? I swear it really gives me quite a grouch. What say?

A burglar through my window clomb?

Well, I must hence and hit him on the dome. How saw you this?

From Metty's kitchen door?

Your being out so late I do deplore— And yet it was quite fortunate for me. I trust the Dean will not disturbed be.

Page livo hundred eighty-six

• What?

Up already?

Armed?

You do not say!

No burglar long shall in my household stay! Well, scullion Minnie, thank you for your care. (Hangs up, then goes to the foot of the steps. Aw Lady! quickly now descend the stair! (Lady appears at the head of the steps.)

LADY (quite disgruntled) : Now, Mister Fisics, what's this fuss about?

Fisics (excitedly

Come down—a vicious burglar we must rout! (She descends.)

Fisics

(continuing):

While I do bravely here defend the stair, Go you, my love, and oust him from his lair. Methinks he lurks beneath the kitchen sink; Tip softly, and you'll catch him on the blink. (Exit Lady, through a door at the back.

Fisics

A step is heard above.)

(in trepidation) :

Aw Lady!

Quickly!

Hither to my side;

Upstairs methinks the burglar doth abide. (Re-enter Lady.

At the same time Ratfessor descends the stairway, pale and trembling.)

RATFESSOR : Dear Doctor Fisics, though it grieves my heart, And though I fear it means that we shall part, I must confess that I the burglar am. I weep—no more to eat your eggs and ham! But, Doctor Fisics, it was surely I Who at so late an hour with stealth did hie Across the campus, all unarmed with key, And fearing your displeasure:—ah! poor me! See, at your feet a suppliant I fall, And pray that you forgive me, that is all!

FISICS (wrathfully): Doggone your buttons—you the rascal are! (More wrathfully.) And you the wretch who did my slumber mar— (Still more wrath fully—) But, unfortunately, this is too wrathful to be presented on the stage, so W e draw the Curtain

Among the fellows he was "Bob" Who never like to shirk a job Nor leave a task undone. Of fishing

he was very fond;

Whole days he sat beside the pond. Though fishes

caught were none.

Mary V was a sensible girl, In keeping her frocks so neat and trim. She never ahook her hair out of curl, Nor sailed her hat around the brim; But Mary V. Robinson, she Was as nice as any girl could be.

When "Pinkie" was a very little boy, He was the family pride and joy. His parents obeyed each precious whim, But the boys all called him "Polly Prim.'

When Grandpa was a lot quite small He did not care for bow or ball. From home he would not budge; He'd wash and wipe the dishes dry, And help his mother make the pie And also chocolate fudge.

And as History prof she'll win her fame.

When Fanny Hits the Ball A hockey game, for all its woes, Its players doth enthrall; It bruises us from top to toes, And yet we love it all. We love the "pep, ' we love the blows,We love the sportsmanship it shows, And don't we love it—goodness knows! When Fanny hits the ball? One side explodes in noisy glees When Fanny hits the ball; One groans with

agonizing pleas

When Fanny hits the ball. She snatches it with fiendish

ease,

She takes it with her like a breeze; Then—crack!—watch out for shins and knees When Fanny hits the ball! Oh, 'tis a sight that should be seen When Fanny hits the ball; She has the grace of seventeen When Fanny hits the ball; With that old hockey stick she's queen, And we, we shout, from rats to dean, "Hooray for Fanny Geraldine! When Fanny hits the ball. I gasp for breath—then shout and sing. When Fanny hits the ball; My soul to bliss goes journeying, When Fanny hits the ball. I'd give the treasure of a king, My lover, or my diamond ring. If I could hit that pesky thing As Fanny hits the ball! R. C., '20.

Your loving daughter,

MARY-RUTH. DEAR MAMMA :

Those Sophomores are perfect gawks!

They act very nice and

friendly during the day, but last night—do you know what they did to us?

They woke

us up in the middle of the night and blindfolded us and took us down about fifty flights of stairs. Then the Sophomore president read us a lot of rules that they say we must obey. We have got to wear our hair down our backs, but I don't mind that, for I never wear it tucked up.

And the young men at Richmond College can't take us out anywhere,

but I guess I can stand that, for you know I never went out with anybody but Brother and Cousin John.

But then they made us do all sorts of foolish things.

They tried to

The teachers are all very nice, and very polite to us in class—they call

DEAREST MOTHER :

There was a party last night, given by the Y. W. C, A. to

the Freshmen (they all call us Rats—don't you think that is undignified for College?). We had a good time at the party, though.

There was t'ne cutest "moving picture" and

then we ate and danced and gave class yells and songs.

I didn t know any of them,

but the old girls got the Freshmen together and taught them the College songs and yells. It was fun—the girls say I yell beautifully!

I'm beginning to like some of the girls—

even the Sophomores are real sort of human at times.

And the Junior who took me

to the party is such a nice girl—she always smiles and stops to talk when she meets me. Please write often.

Love to all,

MARY-RUTH. DEAR MOTHER :

Tonight was "Song Night"—the first

we've ever had.

After

supper we grouped together in classes around the piano and sang songs we'd written and had been practicing on for days. half bad!

It was fun—and I don't think the Rat songs were

Then we all got together and sang Westhampton songs.

Before I knew it,

I found myself between a Senior I didn't know and that nice Sophomore, singing for all I was worth, and holding on tight to both my neighbors. Westhampton is a great place!

Love,

MARY-RUTH. DEAREST MOTHER : of them all.

Parties come so thick and fast that I've hardly time to tell

But the biggest one yet, and the most fun, was the Student Government

party last night.

It was a grand occasion, with the boys from across the lake, and every

girl in her most evening-y evening dress—and, as a special favor, we Rats had our hair up instead of swinging down our backs—which might have produced a funny effect, with the evening gowns! We had promenades, for which programs were filled afterward, and a mighty good time.

Just think—there was a visiting man there who

had never heard of Westhampton until he came to Richmond!

Youd better believe

I told him several things about it! I must study now.

DEAR MOTHER :

The Rats are getting initiated into Westhampton mighty fast now.

Just in the last week there have been two "services" for our especial benefit. The first

was Senior Proclamation Night—a very impressive occasion, when the

Seniors, mighty dignified in their caps and gowns, read us the rules, written and un written, and told us the customs of Westhampton.

We, seated with the other two classes

on the grass at the Seniors' feet, learned all of our College's past history that there is to know, all her ideals and hopes, and were formally invested with the carrying out of those ideals and the upholding of those traditions.

We were properly awed, and looked it.

I guess, as we filed up to have pinned on us our colors—white and blue.

Then the affair

broke up, as most of our affairs do here, with songs and yells. The other initiatory affair was the Y. W. C. A. "Candle Service," which was a beautifully simple and symbolic service.

First the Freshmen, led by a choir, and holding

unlighted candles, marched up to the cabinet members in the Blue Room and each, as her candle was being lighted was given a Y. W. C. A. badge. long rows—all in white and with our little flames

Then we stood in two

But I think that we'll all wani] to keep our candles and our badges

to remember the pretty ceremony. So you see I'm beginning to be a real Westhampton girl. And I'm still your loving,

MARY-RUTH. MOTHER DEAR :

There are no more girls at Westhampton—we're all spooks since

Miss Keller's Hallowe'en party tonight.

The dining-room looked spooky enough, too,

with yellow lights, shocks of corn in the corners, branches of autumn leaves, bobbing apples, and crowds of ghosts and goblins of every description.

You never saw so many fantastic

personages, nor so much to eat, nor such a good time! No time to write—it's too late, and I've got a Math test in the morning.

Such is life!

Hastily,

MARY-RUTH. DEAREST MOTHER :

The hockey games are on—the first Championship game was

played today, between Freshmen and Juniors. And such excitement!

We lost, but we put up a good game.

I have rooted 'til I've no voice left, but I'm expecting to root

We have a rally every night, and we're going to pull

DEAREST MOTHER : Last night we had an Indian Wedding, when Juanita, other wise Dot Gary, Junior President, the beautiful Indian squaw, and the dashing brave Rat'ka, who is usually known as Cynthia Thompson, Rat Chairman, were married.

You

see, it's the custom to have a Junior-Freshman Wedding every year, and this year it was an Indian affair, down by the lake-side "in the light of the silvery moon."

It was

grand—with bonfires and dancers round them like wild Comanches, and all the quaint Indian wedding customs.

You would have loved it.

After the ceremony we had eats—•

pickles, potatoes, sandwiches, grapes and cakes—and it was rather a descent from the sublime to the ridiculous to see the happily wedded couple appear suddenly to help us dispose of that bountiful feast—they weren't quite so much wrapped up in each other as would have seemed! parties we've had.

But it was lovely, and weird, and one of the most effective

o'clock on the misty, frosty

Our plans were carefully laid—

everything, down to the huge "Sic Semper Tyrannis" placard to nail over Prexy, was ready.

The Sophs slept serenely, not dreaming of the dreadful fate awaiting their mascot,

while the Rats, silent, grim and determined, decorously draped in crepe for the solemn occasion, crept out the phone-room window, gathered around the fateful tree, slipped the noose around the neck of the innocent-looking little stuffed puppy who represented Prexy, and at a signal we burst into song, "For we're hanging' little Prexy up this morning." After we had sung this ballad in soul-stirring and sleep-disturbing accents, the orator of the occasion stepped forward and gave the funeral oration—a sublime masterpiece, punc tuated at the proper places with cheers or doleful sobs from the audience. Then the fateful moment arrived—up went Prexy, to the tune of the Sophs song— "P-r-e-x-y," and Prexy was his name," which they never dreamed would be so appro priate.

Then we sang again, and executed a snake dance around the corpse.

TIP. MOTHER DEAR :

Last night was Lantern Night, when we were at last freed from

the boresome Soph rules and allowed to do as we please again.

It was a mighty pretty

service, too, and we were much impressed in spite of ourselves.

At ten o clock the Rats

formed a long double line out in the moon-lit cloistered walk, and waited until we heard a song and saw coming around the corridor the Sophs, carrying blazing lanterns.

They

came toward us singing, and as they marched past us, conferred on each of us a lighted lantern, symbolic of the wisdom which they had bestowed upon us.

As soon as we

had all received our lanterns we took up the song and the march, and went round and 'round, in and out, through the court and back again, until most of the lanterns were out and the light bell rang.

Then we disbanded, feeling very grateful for our good

friends the Sophs. And I am your wiser, but not sadder,

TIP. DEAREST MOTHER :

The biggest occasion of the whole Rat year occurred last

Thursday night—the Rat Banquet.

It was fun!

Of course we had to keep it a

secret from our enemies (?) the Sophs—if we could.

But, as our friends across the

lake are so fond of saying, "History repeats itself," and the "brave" ones let the secret slip.

So on Thursday morning the Sophs were quite prepared, with several dozen bottles

of Hoyts' Cologne, Liquid Soap, and other sweet-smelling stuff. a liberal dose of perfumery and a heartfelt good wish apiece. Richmond Hotel—and it was a banquet!

We caught the last car back to Westhampton—

And when we got here we found the Sophs eagerly awaiting

us, prepared to show us our rooms.

And those rooms!

Furniture everywhere but where

it ought to be; curtains and bed clothes draped gracefully around the chandelier; pic tures artistically pinned to the drapery; contents of dresser and table drawers gracefully scattered over the picturesque confusion!

There was no sleep for the Rats until late

that night—and no work for the next two days.

But it was worth it—we had the time

Six Reasons for Attending

RICHMOND COLLEGE 1. IT IS A STANDARD COLLEGE. If you have made adequate preparation for college work, you want to be sure that you are in classes with students who are also properly prepared. Standard entrance requirements, adequately enforced, insure wellgraded Freshman classes. Moreover, the degree from a recognized standard college i3 accepted at its face value everywhere. 2. IT IS A CHRISTIAN COLLEGE. Christian people founded it and cherish it. Christian scholars fill its chairs of instruction. Emphasis is placed upon Christian living in college, and the preparation for a large Christian service. A high percentage of the stu足 dents are active in some form of religious work during their college course. The Bible is taught with college credtt, and also in devotional classes. 3. IT IS WELL LOCATED. Richmond is a beautiful city of homes and of his足 toric memorials. There is much on every hand to quicken and to inspire. The college park of 290 acres, located two miles west of the corporate limits, offers the student freedom from the noise and smoke and glare of city streets. At the same time the street cars that enter the grounds afford easy communication, and enable students to participate freely in the life of the city. 4. THE EQUIPMENT IS MODERN. Many schools are housed in antiquated buildings and lack modern conveniences. The Richmond College buildings are thoroughly modern. It should be particularly noted thai they are fireproof. The dormitory rooms are literally concrete boxes framed in steel. Recall the number of schools that suffer from fire every year, and reflect what a comfort it is to parents, as well as to students, to know that the steel and stone and concrete in the Richmond College dormitories are their protection against fire. Such construction is costly, but it insures safety and peace of mind. The heating, lighting, baths and sanitary arrangements are fully up to the high standards one would expect in such buildings. 5. NUMEROUS AND HIGH-CLASS STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS. You want to be in a college where the students are doing things. At Richmond College the stu足 dents publish an annual, a monthly literary magazine, a weekly newspaper, enter all the major sports, send out good teams, maintain flourishing literary societies, a live Y. M. C. A., a missionary society, a glee and mandolin club, and eight fraternity chapters. The vigorous religious, social, literary and athletic activities of the students afford every man opportunity to test his powers and show what he can do. 6. A HOST OF DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI. When a student graduates from Richmond College he enters a great company of men, numbering nearly five thousand, most of whom have won distinction and all of whom are ready to befriend and encourage him. The ties of a common alma mater bind him to great missionaries, preachers, teachers, edi足 tors, lawyers, physicians, bankers, successful men of business, congressmen, leaders in all the higher walks of life. The new graduate finds comrades in every great city, and is grateful to his college for friends, both old and new. For catalogue and book of views address
