THE BLACK AND RED

Volume XXV.

Watrrtown, Wis., April 1921.

SrUING.

The last, cold blasts of the wintry wind Arc fleeing to realms unknown, And the Zephyrs soft of spring so kind Now fan sweet flowers unblown.

Dull, cold death, which seemed to reign Supreme through the months just passed, Has fled as it seems with groaning and pain Oil the wings of the last winter-blast.

Creation has answered the call of the spring, Mankind rejoice与 with glee, and above In the heavens the stars seem to sing Of their great Makers’ power and love.

1IIS MASTER^S VOICE. F. Knoll,，22.

It was an early fall clay, the wind was raw and penetrating; the rays of the sun had little heat, for the sun was far in the west.

But still there were many wlio came to view the grave of the blind man whom the world had just put aside. On' the grave of his mas­ ter sat a dog, thin from lack of food, that seemed to mourn the loss of his only friend.

Because nobody was here to describe the life and praise the deeds of his master, the dog felt himself called upon to speak to those who felt compassion for the death of liis master: “My master was not always blind, I can still remember liow successful lie was and liow very mucli loved by liis fellow-men.

But my mother says lie was still more successful and great when he lived in a large city before lie wandered hither years ago. He was a civil engineer in tlie employ of a large concern. Then came an event in his life which caused the writing of this story. His friend had died and left his only son to be educated and cared for by him. My master sent him to college, thinking he would be bet­ ter cared for there than in the home of a bachelor. The postman delivered letters regularly, which my master seemed to enjoy, The lad spent his vacations in the city at the home of his guradian. My mother often wondered if lie had a wonderful mother where he al­ ways stayed. This was before she knew he was an orphan. In a few years he graduated and came to the city to stay for always.

Then my mother knew he was an orphan and loved him all the more. He in turn seemed to feel her affections and pelted her very mucli. He never kicked her when he was angry or tired.

This son was a bright lad and brought sunshine into the home of the engineer; but he had a failing, one that my master could not cure him of, the craze for dancing. He did not neglect his duties, but by going regularly to dances he became thin and weak, be­ cause of loss of sleep. His guardian could not watch him closely, for he was a business man and did not immediately notice bis ward’s waywardness. Then tlie law robbed the young man of liis favorite pastime by putting a ban on dancing in hotels and cafes.

This was an incorrect step on the part of the law and a fatal one to the young man. I say it was an incorrect one on the part of the law, because it stopped dancing in the hotels and not in the clanchalls. The law had a right to stop dances in these places, because they did not have a license, but not because they were indecent.

To dance in the hotels a man had to have a partner or friend whom lie brought along to dine with. One could not take a strange girl and dance with her; an act of this kind was absolutely prohibited.

On the other hand at the common dance-halls anybody could dance

1 with anybody. Even young girls go alone to these places. They are permitted to operate because they carry a license. But to re­ turn again to my story. This young man would not go to these common dancc-lialls, because a different crowd gathered there, too young for him. Every young man lias some sport or amusement in which he indulges, and if you take this amusement from him, lie is bound to turn to another. This is the nature of youth. This young man took to drinking, a habit far worse than the one he had quit. He always drank to excess. Then came the prohibition law which tried lo rob him of his new folly. I-Ie was embittered and vowed: 'They’ll never take away my liquor, although they took Then he entered upon a new trade, the illicit away my dance! liquor trade. This turn in liis life brought his ruin and the change in the life of my master. The young man was convicted of rumnmning and sentenced to prison. My master was very much af­ fected when he heard the news and he decided to leave the city .

Without revealing his identity he sought employment in a cop­ per mine in a small northern town. The man who was once a well-known engineer in a large city was now working in a mine, lie even shouldered the pick and labored with the common under­ ground miners. I-Iis follow-ininers welcomed him and jopened their homes to him, because he was a hard-worker and a man who assisted them whenever possible.

The officials at the mine soon noticed his abilities as an en­ gineer and promoted him to the position as assistant engineer of the mine. But he kept, on working hard and soon became first engineer of the mine. Although he was fast coming back to his former station in life, he did not neglect his former fellow-work­ men even though his duties were many. lie was very exact in his work and just this exactness is what won him his new position.

Every morning he had to draw a map of the mine indicating every tunnel at the proper depth. According to his drawings tlie tunnels were dug. He had to be careful that one tunnel was not dug directly above another, which would probably cause a cave-in. lie always remembered the miners with whom he once had to dig.

And they again were not envious or cold toward him, because he who was once a digger was now an engineer and a boss, but they obeyed his commands, which were always given in a friendly tone, because they knew they could trust him. Then one day, when all was working smoothly, a crash was heard and everyone knew what that meant. One of the tunnels had caved in because of insuffi-

cient support. There were men entombed, who would suffocate if not removed in due time. Who would venture to rescue the en­ dangered men? All hesitated. Then the engineer offered to go.

At their offer many volunteered their assistance. Rescue work was dangerous, since the whole shaft had been weakened by the crash.

The work progressed slowly and gas was slowly filling the ho^e, where the entombed men were captives. At length a small open ing was effected and the men were slowly dragged through, ex.hausted and worn. My master went through the aperture to make sure that no one was left behind. Suddenly as he entered the death1 ole an explosion occurred. Overcome he was dragged back through the opening. Once on the surface he was soon revived. He opened his eyes and tried to see, but my master was blind. Horror struck the hearts of his fellow-men and everyone mourned the loss of iv(y master’s sight. He received a large sum of money from the owners of the mine, which gift made it possible for him to live to an oic* age without ever asking for alms. He lived in this northern town until the following spring, when my mother died. Then he cullod me to him and said: “We’ve been here many summers, clear pal, but it’s getting lonesome here all alone, let us wander over the country.” With me as guide we left the town where my master had amassed a fortune, but where he also had lost his sight.

We started off for the West. Seldom did we remain in any locality more than a few weeks, and stayed that long only when (lie climate of the region was very refreshing and healthful. It was fall when we reached the Rockies and entered Yellowstone Park. My master decided to remain here a month and then take a train for the South. No matter where we came or where we stayed every­ body treated my master kindly. While we were taking a walk ono clear morning during our stay in the Rockies, after a snowfall dur­ ing the night, I scented a man in distress not far from where we were walking. I began barking, my master knew what I wanted and followed briskly at the end of my chain. There in a snowbank lay a man who had fallen and broken his leg. My master quickly brushed the snow aside and noticed the man was nearly frozen to death. My master though blind was a large man and strong. He put the unlucky stranger on his shoulders and carried him to the lodge, while I broke the trail. After hours of exertion on the part of the doctors who were summoned the man showed signs of re­ vival. For days he lay on his sick-bed hovering between life and death. He had caught cold in his lungs, but the doctors were ever 4-

hopeful. After a few weeks he was able to sit up in his bed. One day he called for my master. But someone had told my master that the invalid wanted to thank and reward him for saving his life. My master was too great a man to take a reward from this Doggie, you should be thankful for sick man, and said to me: saving the-life of this man.” Without notice, before they could re­ ward or thank us for our assistance, my master and I departed from the lodge for the South. We remained in the South until spring, when we began our wanderings anew. Thus we wandered over the country for almost fifteen years. My master felt himself growing old, even I felt the effects of age. One day he took me to himself and said: My wonderful little guide, I feel I am getting old and liave but a short time to live, let us travel across the country to the northern mining town where your mother lies buried now.” I wiped a tear from my eye as lie continued: Why should I not die where I lived most oi' my life and where I made my fortune? Prob­ ably some one there will still remember me and comfort me in my age and then when my time has come, give me a burial as befits a man. Wc left for (he North, where my master died on his arrival in the little mining town. And here lie lies the hero of many a day. I pray you, my liearors, remember this man who, though blind, never complained of his lot, but always thanked the Lord for sav­ ing his lilo, ;iml asked Him to preserve others from a like accident.

I ask you lo please put. some flowers on his grave as he would have done for iinother.M ClIiMSTIAMTV, TUI： 1I01M： OF TIIE WORLD TO-DAY. D. Rohda, ’22.

The Christian man who to-day is awake to the circumstances and conditions in which he is living must needs look upon the whole existing state of affairs with disgust, while the non-Christian must do so with a keen sense of fear which shades over almost to des­ pair. Both of these men cannot help noticing at one glance the outstanding characteristic of the times—thorough corruption. No matter in which circle of life we look, be it political or social, we plainly see this phantom lurking about.

In political spheres are we not and have we not been deceived by those persons whom we thought gems of the nation, men who would sacrifice every personal privilege and liberty for the good

of tlie country? Have we not been misled by the idealistic mottos and maxims of tlie politicians? Surely corruption lies here. Now cast a glance into tlie social life of our country. Does not luxury and vice undisguised strut about here? Luxury permeates society today. Vice is great. Man takes no heed of God’s commands, promises, and threats, but simply goes on in his own sinful and de­ structive way. The common people, the middle and lower classes, are no exception. Crime and ungodliness range wantonly among tlieir ranks; crime wave after crime wave, consisting largely of murders, robberies, and forgeries, sweep our country, and little hope of stemming them have we found thus far. But, does not the future look brighter?” And does the rising generation instill no hope in us?

From appearances we can draw little hope. Generation after generation is following more closely the path to rank materialism.

The great grand thing to-day, tlie ideal of the times, seems to be the almighty dollar. With this in view the machinery of tlie en­ tire world is run. After this the greater share of mankind seeks.

To this our young generation stretches out its hands and follows, believing it to be tlie goal where comfort and solace rests. And to such an end unconsciously many of our influential men encour­ age it.

We need but visit the schools and colleges of our country to affirm and corroborate this statement. The majority of schools of tlie nation prepare men and women for the business and industrial world. This is their one aim; towards this one aim everything that it taught must tend. A person does not have to be highly or even moderately highly educated to enter the business world to make money. A course of but six months or a year of good diligent men­ tal labor and study, a fair understanding of the English language, and the ability to speak fluently is all that is necessary. But such a superficial education will be, yes, is bound to be of little value to a country in the end. Such elements taught superficially were also extant in classical times, but they were fought against and sub­ dued by the real teachers of knowledge whenever an opportunity presented itself. Such shallow methods of teaching prove detri­ mental to a people eventually, for they only advocate materialism more strongly and serve to bring up a nation of narrow-minded men and women.

Is the present discouraging and the future lowering? Does all seem to be dark and utterly hopeless about us? Not so! A Chris•5 ?

tian knows not hopelessness and despair. He always has a treas­ ure wherefrom he can bring forth new things and old.

To-day it is the Christian that has great things to give the world. One of these is HOPE. All is not yet lost. We still have one source of hope when all the world despairs, God’s Word. This is still the light in this dark world to-day, if man would only ac­ cept its teachings as teachings and revelations of God himself through His Son Jesus Christ, our Savior. Through this wonder­ ful means hope could come forth and flood the world. Through it alone can that one thing from which all corruption proceeds, man’s heart, be changed.

Through the preaching of and believing in pod’s Word the heart of the adult generation is born anew, and through this same Word the heart of the rising generation should be reared and nur­ tured. Man should make use of such a wonderful means. Man must grasp (he oppoiluiiily of hearing God’s Word and allowing it to work on his heart if he is to be of real benefit to the world.

This is the great necessity, and yet, this is the one great thing that is neglected to-day. Mankind seems to be straying tow­ ard indifference in religion and is at the same time, though he notices it. not, straying toward destruction; for we know—and it is history that teaches us so by such towering figures as Babylon, Greece, and Rome—that a nation which has become morally and especially religiously bankrupt is also totally physically bankrupt, and (hat, (hough it stands in outward appearances high and mighty, it stands on the brink and prejudice of utter ruin and destruction.

The one way possible for man to avert such ruin is to return and cleave to his God. A petition or admonition of this character, how­ ever, we know to be fruitless if addressed to the world, but it should not be so if addressed to the true Christian world.

As we have already seen, it is the Christian people who to-day have true hope. Now it is their duty to further and augment this hope, lest it also become (leadened by this almost universal spirit of indifference. This it can do, as is easily discernible, in two ways: by zealously preaching the Gospel and by maintaining its schools and colleges. No man is likely to deny that the first method is beneficial ami indispensable, but probably some are inclined to think that the second is not altogether necessary. Yet it is posi­ tively so.

Preaching is for both the present and the rising generation; teaching, however, is especially for the rising generation.、An edu-

cation in tlie atmosphere of true, sincere Christianity instills and inculates into tlie hearts of its possessors a spirit far different from that bred in circles void of all mention of the Gospel. And this is only natural, for view the great difference between teaching in tlie light of the Word and that lacking all religious touch. Let us consider only a study or two tliat belong to a general education.

First science, and here again tlie origin of things. What a world of difference between the beginning of tilings through creation

by God and tlie beginning by evolution! Does not the history of creation through God the Almighty stand supreme above that of evolution? Is it not altogether natural that it should elevate a man’s mind by just such a great degree? Is not history, too, more interesting, and have we not seen that it contains more hope when taught in the spirit of the bible; when we know that above it all a mighty and merciful God sits and rules, and that all that hap­ pens, needs must happen for the good and furtherance of his chil­ dren, bought through the blood of His Son? So it matters little wliat branch of learning we take, if it is taught in tlie atmosphere of true Christianity, it needs must implant in the heart of the stu­ dent that spirit whicli tlie world so woefully lacks to-day一tlie spirit of love and religion.

We know that the world in general will never accept, such teach­ ing or believe it to be true, but we who feel and see its iruits should acknowledge it our duty and accordingly look to it enthusiastically and diligently that our schools and colleges are well kept up, so tliat it is at all times possible for us to produce those representa­ tives of the human race that alone count in the eyes ol' Ciod and that alone preserve the virtues hope and charity in this world, true Chris­ tian men and women.

THE SWISS PATRIOT, WILLIAM TELL. Harold Grunwald, ’24.

We are indebted to the genius of the German poet Frederich von Schiller lor the beautiful and thrilling story of William Tell.

Schiller, being familiar with certain patriotic legends pertaining to the struggle for the independence of Switzerland, wove these in with deeds of real heroes and created thereby a fabric of fancy which for many years was accepted as an historical reality. Critical investigation, however, has proved that at no time there existed such a person as William Tell, but that he was merely a creation

of Schiller’s sources, originated to represent the Swiss heroic pa­ triotism and spirit of freedom.

The story of William Tell took place, according to Schiller, about the year 1307. William Tell lived in peace and happiness at Uuerglen, in the canton of Uri, with his wife and children. He was a skillful hunter, and when out on forages with his son. Tell’s bow, owing to his brilliant marksmanship, brought down many a beast. Tell loved his family sincerely, especially, his little son.

They lived in contentment, partaking of nature’s food, loving and helping each other.

At this time the people of Switzerland, which was then a pro­ vince of Austria, rebelled and elected Tell as one of their chief leaders. William Tell, loved and obeyed by his fellow-men, now determined to help his countrymen faithfully in their struggle for freedom. But for liis deeds—for he incited liis countrymen to use violence in driving the Austrians from the country—he was sus­ pected and persecuted by the Austrians. The Austrian bailiff GessIcr wanted to show liis authority over his subjects and placed in Uio market-i>lace of Altdorf a pole that bore his cap. Everyone passing (ho pole was to bow down before it, thereby showing his submission to his lord. Tell, passing the pole one day, neglected to pay tlio required homage and was therefore arrested.

During the trial he tried to excuse his disrespect for the cap on Ihe main ground that he was dull of wit, for he said, * Other­ wise, I should not be called the TALL.” This word then meant a half-witted person or simpleton. Gessler had heard that Tell was a skillful marksman and desired to see him perform in his presence.

The bailiff stated to Tell that if he could shoot an apple off his son’s head一for lie thought that this feat could not be accomplished —lie would not demand his life, but only on this one condition.

Tell did not hesitate, but accepted the offer; he determined, how­ ever, to have full revenge on Gessler, if he failed in his undertaking.

The time for the trial of Tell’s celebrated markmanship was drawing near, and before Tell entered the arena, a place set off for the occasion beneath a large tree, he armed himself with an extra arrow which he concealed beneath his coat. A pack of ar­ rows was now offered Tell from which he was to choose the arrow that was to decide liis fate. Tell hesitated, but after ardently pray­ ing to liis God, and spurred on by his son’s cheerful encouragement, he drew his bowstring to liis shoulder and sent the arrow whizzing

i

y

toward tlie target. Tell’s fervent prayer was heard, for the arrow split the apple in two.

The tyrant Gessler was a man who did not keep his promises.

The governor praised Tell for liis accuracy, but asked him what he meant by placing an extra arrow beneath his jerkin. Tell at 'first said that this was a hunter’s custom, but when he was accused of Concealing the extria arrow, and when asked, “Why didst thou liide tlie arrow?” the patriot answered in a frank, clear voice, “To Kill thee, if I had harmed my little son.” He was now placed in chains and taken with Gessler to his castle at Kuessnacht there to end his life in a gloomy, desolate tower.

To spend the rest of liis days in a forsaken tower, was, how­ ever, not to be his lot. Gessler and his men set sail with their prisoner Tell for their castle at Kuessnacht. While crossing the Lake of Luzerne, a storm suddenly arose, threatening the destruc­ tion of the boat and crew. The mariners, alarmed at the raging tempest, implored Gessler to release Tell so that lie—for he was also an accomplished seaman—might pilot the vessel safely to shore. Gessler finally consented to release tlie patriot, for he feared that he would otherwise have to drown. He also promised to free him from liis bonds, if he would undertake to rescue them out of their distress. Tell gladly undertook to steer the ship safely to shore, and as they were passing a rock, now called “Tell’s Rock” or “Leap,” the Swiss patriot sprang ashore, escaped, and concealed himself in the nearby woods. Tell yearned for vengeance and lurked along tlie road which .Gessler and his party would have to traverse to get to the castle at Kuessnacht. Gessler soon appeared and was hit by Tell’s arrow which mortally wounded him.

The fall and death of Gessler was the signal for a general up­ rising. At the gatherings or mass-meetings Tell would be hailed as a hero, and his speech stirred the blood of the Swiss to wage war against the Austrians. Tell with liis countrymen now parti­ cipated in. driving the Austrians from the country and in taking possession of their castles and property. In all these movements Tell was a leading spirit both encouraging and stimulating liis people by his heroic deeds. In the midst of liis renowned deeds this hero of many an encounter had to give liis life in trying to rescue a little boy out of the River Sachen.

The Black and Red lias once more passed into the hands of a new editorial staff on which devolves the great task of making this the twenty-fifth anniversary volume of the paper a success.

We glance back through the twenty-four long years of the Black and Red’s existence, we take up issues of these years long passed and between the lines we read of the editors’ efforts, labors and perserverance. Involuntarily we utter the one word “Suc­ Again we glance into the coming year, into the year of the cess. twenty-fifth volume—the volume entrusted to us—and a feeling of almost fearful anxiety possesses us. We seem to walk with un­ safe, insecure tread; we feel ourselves incompetent, inexperienced —11一

workmen sent out to accomplish a task demanding skill and adroit­ ness. We hestitate; unconsciously we ask ourselves “Dare we go on?” and tlie words “We must” force themselves out in answer.

Yes, we must. On us the task has fallen; on us rests the re­ sponsibility. We are as a man who cannot swim and who has un­ expectedly fallen into the river. We must do our best, just as he does. And is it not possible that we attain some success if we work with, soul and body, mentally and physically with the same vigor with which he does? It is possible, we venture to say—but to labor as the man fighting for life means effort, perserverance, and patience.

All will not run smoothly in our work; this we can be almost positive of. We are bound to strike obstacles, circumstances that seem to prohibit access even to the very outskirts of success. But such things dare not discourage us and make us despair. What would have become of tlie man in the stream if he had despaired at every strenuous effort to reach the bank? He would have 】ost against his odds and perished. No, “despair” is a word we dare not know; “perseverance” or “ patience” must take its place. We must persist in our efforts, even though we can see few or no resuits at all. We must hold out just as the man in the water; then every obstacle we overcome will be to us as every nerve-racking stroke that brought him but a few inches closer to land was to liim.

Every impediment we eliminate by perserverance in effort will mean a new store of hope for us that will help us on our way toward our goal, success and satisfaction.

Let us then take up our new work in good spirits, let us view it from an optimistic viewpoint, encouraged by the example of the man in the stream. Let us, each and every member of the editorial staff, co-operate with every other member of the staff in doing our part toward making the twenty-fiftli volume of the Black and Red what every student and alumnus of Northwestern wishes and ex­ pects it to be, a success.

Cooperation is an indispensable requisite. No matter liow as­ siduously and patiently each and every member of the staff works, if he doesn’t work in perfect concordance with his colleague, there is bound to be a jar throughout the entire machinery of the paper, and each jar makes success more difficult. Yet cooperation in respect to the editorial staff is not the only necessity. If the Black and Red is to be truly representative of our institution, it must not be the duty of the staff alone to submit material. Each capable stu—12—

dent and many more of the alumni than have written in the past should contribute. In this way we should eliminate the possibility of the Black and Red’s becoming a paper expressing the views of a very restricted number of students.

THE PASSIONS OF TODAY. The mind of man sways the world; passion sways the mind of man, and lb us It happens that passion often sways the world and shapes ils history. Our great epoch and history-making period of today will be an ever living example of such a time when passion ruled the world and formed its history.

One surely does not have to be a pessimist to see that the gen­ eration of today is almost completely dominated and led on to the worst follies by its vilest passions, jealousy, hate, envy! These three base feelings have stunted and all but exterminated the finer ones, such as mercy, love, and charity. Jealousy, hate, and envy have brought the world where it stands today, on the brink of chaos and destruction.

Take yourself back one decade in the world’s history. The common man never dreamed that the world was nearing the most bloody, inhuman war it had ever seen, a war that would claim mil­ lions of victims. The finer passions, such as love for one’s fellowman and for the good of the world seemed then to be dominant in the heart of the ordinary man. Yet in the hearts of the great and 一13—

selfish, especially in the hearts of the men whose hands swayed peoples and empires, a great change was being effected—jealousy, hate, and envy like three great demons were subduing the gentler emotions to non-effectiveness. Each country—for the lower classes were deceived to change their sentiments—began to look on its neighbor with jealousy; probably his neighbor was acquiring great trade, probably lie was acquiring riches and dominions! Jealousy turned to hate; hate turned to envy; and envy broke the bubble: war was the result. In a spirit of grossest hate and malice is was carried on. Then the war ended, but not so malice and hate.

These two dreaded monsters, when they have once taken hold of the heart of man, seen to become immune to banishment, and death! Behold, here stands the victor, glorying in his triumph, his foot resting： on the neck of his nearly naked opponent, tu.sjgin^ a.t the last remnants of his once fine attire. It is true. Gernmnv is lying in the dust; she has been knocked off her feet, by her ene­ mies and now they, her conquerors, are standin.s： over her rondy to strip her of her last tattered vestment if possible. Surolv slir was our enemy, surely she should be niade to feel her position, but not with such unjust, inhuman methods and devices which her con­ querors are usins：. What terrible evime have thf» Gormnn women and children committed that thev should be robbed of their food, milk and fats, clothins：. etc? Ts it. not enous：h that, they lmvo boon denrived of their wealth and of their dear ones, husbands Jind fathers?

Plundering does not befit a brave man. The robbinc： and rifl­ ing our Allies are participatins： and proceeding in should not an­ neal to the true American. Such action can hardly be anything but the product of low moral standing, whose underlyins: principles are malice, hate. a,nd avarice. This last evil is as bad ns either of the other two. Look what it. is doing： today. Encland and France are trying their utmost to annihilate a sreat nation. beoauso she has been defeated in a war. Ts such a reason valid? No. The motive is wrong. The defeated party is made to srive its last few pennies, while the victors try to evade paying their own debts.

Greed and avarice, the children of hate and envy, is the motive of such abominable procedure.

America should not coincide in opinion in this matter with her 灯eat and good friends Britain and Prance. Why should we bear Germany hate? We clearly see now what we fought for during the war—militarism and autocracy. Ireland bears witness of it

today! America should no longer labor under deception: hate, envey, greed, and malice were the cause of the war and today are prompting our great friends to press the very life-blood from the —R. veins of the German nation.

Since the Ilev. Ilensel, ’08, of Wausau, Wis.，and the Rev. John Brenner of Milwaukee both have declined calls to fill the vacant professorship at Northwestern College, the College Board again met in our dormitory and issued another call, this time to the Rev. E. Ph. Dornfeld, ’04, of Milwaukee, Wis. Mr. Rudolph Schroeder, once upon a time member of the ’21 Class, and now a student of Concordia Seminary, Springfield, 111., spent a few hours about the premises here on Easter Sunday. He has but one more year at the Seminary and declares he enjoys the work there immensely.

Qlnll峨 Noto A not unexpected large audience had assembled at. our college - auditorium on the evening of March 4, to hear tlie second great musical event of the season. The violin artist of world-wide re­ nown, Fritz Kreisler, who has played before large audiences in all parts of the globe, was received with great pleasure by a crowd which filled the gymnasium to its maximum capacity. The charm, as it seems, of Kreisler’s tones of surpassing beauty and of almost uncanny musical sweetness and quality, kept the listeners’ undi­ vided attention from the time he began until the close of the pro­ gram. The following is the progam he rendered: ——16—

(Viennese Popular Song) Kreisler may indeed be said to stand absolutely in a class by himself. Audiences have repeatedly marveled at his wonderful genius. Modern concert goers usually become impatient when they hear the long concertos of earlier composers, because, in spite of the many attempts, no one, with the exception of a genius has suc­ ceeded in playing them with the right spirit. Kreisler keeps his listeners on the alert with selections extending over a period of thirty to forty-five minutes, simply because he interprets them with the heart and soul of their authors.

Long before he began to appear as the virtuoso he is today he realized that people were becoming dissatisfied with the unstirring musical events of today and he decided to mark out a new path for himself. He spent many years in searching the libraries of Italy and Prance for the music of composers long forgotten, who flour­ ished, particularly in Italy, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. During this time a vast amount of music was written for tlie violin, for this instrument was cultivated to a far greater extent then than it is today. But Kreisler has not limited his scope to old violin music. He has taken many piano pieces, many for­ gotten songs and airs and arranged them for his instrument. As a result of liis research the literature of the violin has been greatly enlarged and all violinists are now playing these unparalleled mel­ odies.

Owing to the crowded schedule of Mr. Kreisler it was a difficult

⑹

一17— —

task to arrange a recital date for Watertown. It was only through the continued efforts of Prof. Bolle and Dr. Theo. Abelmann, that it was finally made possible to hear Kreisler in Watertown.

Very many benefits are derived by the students from these con­ certs, and we sincerely hope that tliey will continue at Northwest­ ern for years to come.

The Phi Gamma Rho Literary Program of March 5, arranged by master of ceremonies, Dudley Rohda, although somewhat longer than most programs, was arranged in a very interesting manner.

Contrasting topics and tlie go.od efforts of the speakers added very much to make it an interesting entertainment. Under the direc­ tion of Pres. Boettcher the orchestra played an opening selection.

The progress which the orchestra made since its previous appear­ ances is certainly astonishing. We may expect a very good show­ ing from the orchestra at the annual concert. Herman Cares next told us how Baron von Steuben aided Washington in the Revolu­ tionary War and, even though he was a German, deserves to bo honored by all Americans. The poem “On the Rappahannock'' was then recited by Kuckhahn. It was probably not that he did not have his piece well memorized, but that lie was self-conscious, that nade the prompter’s aid necessary. Then Hilbert Engel delivered lis original speech on “How England got India.” Although those not acquainted with conditions in India at that time could under­ stand but little of it, he must be given due credit for clear enunci­ ation and self-possession. We then listened to I. Boettcher’s “The Soldier’s Reprieve,a story in which a father thanked God wlio.n his accused, but innocent, son was acquitted through the faithful work of a little daughter. After Krenke’s well-spoken German op­ tion a vocal solo by A. Baer relieved the strain of the audience.

The rest of the literary work consisted in original speeches and poems and a comedy, “The Inventor” concluded an interesting pro­ gram. Prof. Probst acted as critic for the evening.

In order to make the rendering of the joint literary proscram as perfect as possible the date was postponed from Saturday, March 12, to the following Thursday, which allowed more time for a thor­ ough preparation. On March 17, Mr. Hillmer had the following program arranged: 1. The Altar of Genius B. L. King N. W. C. Band.

Worthy of special mention is the court-scene taken from “The Merchant of Venice.” The execution was very carefully carried out and showed Ihc results of a great deal of work and practice. The costumes added very much to the true atmosphere of the scene. The program as a whole supplied the finishing touches to the literary work of the societies.

Although the literary meetings were discontinued throughout last year, the students readily reached the high standard of for­ mer years.

BASEBALL. Having brought the football and basketball seasons of the year 1920-21 to an end, the athletic year 1920-21 takes its final stride— baseball. The season itself is new and it brings with it a new coach, new material for the teams, new ideas, and new hopes. The lew baseball coach is Prof. Parisius, elected to the Athletic Direc;orship last year. He began work with the material, old and new, about three weeks before Easter. Since tlie practice before Easter had to be done in the college gymnasium, it only tended to restore to the players the old “feel for the pill.” But, when after Easter we had summer weather, all hands were on deck for some hard work on the field.

Am ong those men, who are trying out for the teams this year are the following: Krenke, with liis last year’s experience on first team as first baseman and left-field, seems to have the place be­ hind the bat “cinched,” although there were some rumors, at the beginning of the season, that Lehmann, a husky man from New Ulm, and Niemann, a prep., would try to edge him out. Capt. Hinnenthal, Bolle, and Winter are trying out for pitcher’s box. With Hinnenthal’s experience (he played with the Navy several years ago), and Bolle’s speed we expect to give our opponents some trouble to touch the ball. The coach is giving Kleinke, Brandt, and Pankow a chance for first base. Although Kleinke played well in. the University game, yet his rivals will keep him busy and give him

the necessary incentive to hold the bag. Gentz seems to have taken hold on second base, without a rival, but we trust that lack of com­ petition will not keep him from always doing his best! Schoenoff second team short stop last year, is trying to hold his short posi­ tion this year against Brandt, Engel, and perhaps Bierwagen, al­ though Bierwagen has been tried out on third base. Siffring is also trying for third base on the team. Although Knoll but shortly ar­ rived from his Easter vacation, yet we are told, that he may try out for third base. The line-up for the outfield is about this: Meier, the manager of the team, seems to have left field quite in his hands.

Groth played center field in the Madison game and played it well enough to make us think that he will most likely be Northwestern’s center fielder this year. Sauer, who also played in Madison this spring, Cares, and Knispel are the men interested in right field.

The regular team that will ultimately play the most of our games is as yet uncertain, but it will most likely be one chosen from this material. The coach has ample choice!

A new system has been worked out by Coach Parisius to in­ sure good attendance at all the practices. When still in the gym­ nasium, each individual was compelled to “check in and out” at the coach's office. Since the teams work outdoors, the captain draws up a list of names each clay of players, who should appear at bat­ ting practice after dinner and the coach asks both, first and second teams to be on the diamond after four. Until now this system has worked well, because it was made known to the players at the be­ ginning, that the final choice of a team would greatly depend on the regularity of each man’s attendance. If a man has not enough initiative to appear on the field every noon and afternoon, if he is trying out for the team, he will also lack the necessary interest and “pep” to help to carry out our games successfully.

In a game on Saturday, April 2, the team of N. W. C. defeated a team from town 5-2. The nine from town was made up largely of old Northwestern stars. In this game we could see that the bat­ ting of our men was still rather defective, but we believe that, if the team develops and rids itself of this mistake, poor batting, old Northwestern may again look forward to a prominent place in the conference.

For this year the following interesting schedule has been arranged by our manager: Northwestern plays一 University of Wisconsin, April 6, at Madison.

University of Wisconsin vs. Nortlnvestern, 10—1.

On April 6, a game was played with the University at Camp Randall field. Almost the entire game was played in a driving rain or a chilling drizzle.

The score was 0-0 until in the last of the third inning the Uni­ versity rail in three scores. In the fourth, Hiimentlial, our pitcher brought in Northwestern’s only run. In the last of the seventh the University men added five more runs to their previous score of three.

TENNIS. This spring we have organized a Northwestern Tennis Club and have found excellent support. Sixty-eight students have until now given their names to Mr. Albrecht, our president, intending to play this year. Since the number is too great to be accomodated on our two courts, the athletic director has sanctioned the making of two more courts. These will be placed alongside of the football gridiron. Work lias already begun on them and we expect to use them very soon. Although the schedule has not been drawn up as yet, nevertlioless (he president is expected to do so as soon as the new courts are ready to be used.

Exchanges play an important part in the development and im­ provement of a college paper. None of us is sa perfect that there is not room for improvement, and the exchange of friendly criti­ cism leads to the improvement of the various publications as noth­ ing else can.

Exchanges give us a look into the inner life at other schools besides offering some very interesting and good reading matter.

//?0 6 % LIBRARY

::;-I

But why is it that so few of us ever wipe tlie dust from the maga­ zines on the exchange rack? Is it because we are prejudiced against them much the same as we are against the books prescribed for home-reading? Nothing but the very best that is produced at each school is published in its paper. Do these carefully prepared art­ icles not promise to be better and more profitable reading matter than many of tlie hastily scribbled short stories and other light literature that is sometimes published in the daily papers?

In this department we shall give our unbiased opinion of the outward appearance, contents, etc., of our exchanges and shall, whenever occasion offers, make suggestions for improvement. Any return criticism in this spirit will be appreciated. # * # # NEWBERRY STYLUS. As tlie object of our comment this month we have chosen the January number of the Stylus published at Newberry, S. C. The Stylus is one of our neater and better exchanges. The literary de­ partment containing one poem and six compositions takes up about one half of the magazine, thus making a nicely balanced iniblication. The addition of a “Locals’ column would give us a bet/.or idea of the inner life at your college; otherwise tlie several depart­ ments are well taken care of. We especially enjoyed your “Joke” column. It is above the ordinary. Perhaps it would be better to aave advertisements oil the same page with jokes, although the re­ striction of ads to the lower half of page makes the arrangement not as bad as it might be. Leaving the outer rear cover clear would add to the appearance of your paper.

The poem “Climb,” which heads the literary department, ex­ presses a good idea. “Tlie Open Gate” treats a timely subject, tlie Americanization of our foreigners. The writer points out that a common language is indeed an implement, but only ono implement in Amerricanization. Foreigners must be led to adopt our stand­ ards of cleanliness, hygiene, order, and tlie like. Our system of Americanization must offer “tlie acquirement of such an under­ standing of our history, our institutions, our government, our ideals as will give all of our foreign-born so deep an appreciation of and love for our country that they will inevitably wish to become its citizens.” The time is past when we can admit all those who wish to come here regardless of tlieir good or bad qualities. We must make a study of the ideals and achievements of each race so that we can intelligently select as future citizens only such as will be —24—

an asset and not a burden to our country. Unrestricted immigra­ tion has hindered reform in Europe by bringing the discontent of that continent to America, where they found the freedom they wanted instead of forcing them to remain in their own country and work out their own reforms.

“Man, the Type, Lives on” reminds us of our duties and op­ portunities in this reconstruction period after the war.

“The Fickleness of Woman” narrates the story of two college chums, O’Neal and Abrams, who go out into life together. Both are in love. Abrams learns that someone else has taken his place in the heart of his dearest Rose. To end it all he takes poison just after O’Neal has been called from their place of employment to the bed-side of his sick mother. The story reaches its climax when O’Neal is arrested for the murder of his chum and is spurned by his sweetheart because she believes him guilty. It is afterward proved that Abrams’ death was a case of suicide, and O’Neal is set free. Ilis sweetheart is reconciled, and a happy wedding follows.

—The plot is fresh and is quite well carried out.

“Woodrow Wilson” is an article exaggerating to a great ex­ tent the good qualities and almost wholly forgetting the weak­ nesses of our late president. We shall not go into details as to this article. Although it is yet much too early to pass an unbiased and final judgment on a man who played such an important part in our public life for the last eight years as Woodrow Wilson, and although we make some allowance for the fact that the author is evidently from the “Solid South,” which was always Democratic,—we feel safe in saying that the “Furor BiograpWcus” has carried the writer too far.

We hope to continue receiving the Stylus.

Till，： IR01NY OF FATE. Edgar Iloenecke, ’23.

There was an old saying among the tribe: “To whom Al-Rahnian scuds joy, lie also sends grief.” Hamud was to feel the truth of these words bit Icrly and very soon. lie was just raising his lithe body above (lie deep reeds. lie swiftly walked to his canoe, hid in (he rushes. The lagoon was quiet. Here and there a crane rose with a shriek out of the thick vegetation. Now and then a scared beast of the jungle scampered with a rustle through the fallen foli­ age. Hamud’s powerful black arms easily pushed the canoe from the mucky shore, through the swaying rushes, into the limpid water. I-Ie cast a lightning-like flash of the eyes toward the setting sun to determine (he time of day, then the canoe leaped and shot faster and faster toward the southern shore.

In another minute the craft glided into a small cove and stopped abruptly at a reed landing. Ilamud leaped out oncl drew the canoe after him to a safe mooring. Although the warriors all greeted him respectfully, when lie passed, yet in many eyes lurked green envy, because of Ilamud's position, power, and prowess. Hamud placed his oars and game into his hut, thoughtfully sat down by his camp-fire, and gazed into the black star-studded night. He thought of Vuda一30—

I I I | I 1 r： I I

i1

:h.

He had been at the village of Ahmar Scindda, Vuda’s father, in the afternoon and had obtained from father and daughter the acceptance of liis suit. This made him step lightly and row s\viftly.

But Al-Rahman also sends grief. Even now he had sent grief to Hamud. Alimar Scindda had asked him to assemble his tribe in the morning to decide whether they should stand against or flee from the terrible whites, wlio sacked the coast of Africa for slaves.

As Hamud sat by his fire, liis brain was busily engaged in seeking for an argument which would convince his waiTiors to move in­ land. He did not believe that there was any chance of their win­ ning a victory over such a foe far superior Xo them in the arts of war.

Long he sat by the glowing embers. When these were finally consumed, lie strode to his hut and with thoughts of love and hate, joy and sorrow he retired. Love for Vuda, hate for the whites; joy over the expected happiness with Vuda, and sorrow over the possibility of a disappointment of all his hopes.

Before the sun appeared the next morning, Hamud had arisen.

His hopes were high. He had had a dream which he accepted as a favorable omen for his plans. He had seen in a far, strange country, under the shades of tall stately palms, a newly-thatched hut, bedecked with large, bright flowers and fresh greens, Vuda and he dwelt in the hut. Close by stood, a smaller hut, and in the door stood Ahmar Scindda. Before the huts flowed a sparkling stream, abundant with fish. For him it was a picture of his future home farther inland, removed from the hated whites. The river was an exact picture of a river about which he had heard from some of the more courageous warriors who had ventured far inland.

But he forgot that Al-Rahman also had a wonderful country like this, to which he took the souls of his children when they died.

Without realizing it, Hamud had received a prophecy which clearly depicted his fate.

He was confident, when the council met, that his opinion would be accepted by his warriors. But he was greatly disappointed.

After he had proposed his plan, of immediate flight toward the inland, Mahdi, his rival and sworn enemy, arose with a sarcastic smile on his scarred face. He said: Men and warriors: We have all heard the brave Hamud. He speaks well! We surely shall all follow his dreams and find peace and liappiness, ripening crops, and abundance in the untrodden wilds. His dream says so.

Hamud is a brave man: When he meets a wild boar, lie' overcomes nim single-handed; when he, backed by a thousand staunch war一31—

1 riors, hears of ten whites, he runs and bids the thousand also to run. Shall they obey his cowardly bidding?”

Malidi was a powerful speaker. Every attempt of Hamud to answer hinV was futile. The tribes were to remain and fight.

They fought. One long day they fought. When Ahmar Scindda and Hamud finally submitted in the evening, the hundred whites had in their possession about four hundred of the best mem­ bers of the tribe. Regardless of rank, Ahmar and Hamud were chained together with the rest for the night and with the rest they marched in the morning. Vuda came to Hamud and whispered in his ear: “Have hope, dear Hamud, Al-Rahman sends not grief alone; the end will be the more beautiful!”

When they finally reached the sea, Hamud and Ahmar Scindda were placed on one vessel; Vuda on another. During the long trip, the slaves were confined in a black hole, the hold of a collier. They were fifty less when they were put on the block for auction.

Since Vuda was a well-built woman, a high price was paid for her. Her owner put her into a cattle-wagon and brought her and a few other blacks over a rough highway to his cotton plantation.

The once so happy, so proud daughter of Ahmar Scindda was chained to a grimy, spider-lined wall, and was served with dry crusts and cold water. When, early in the morning, a leathern-faced person with a cat-o’-nine-tails in his dirty hand appeared in the low door­ way and released them from their chains to drive them to their work, Vuda had not slept a wink.

The constant stooping and picking fatigued Vuda, and she stood but for a minute and gazed into the east, thinking of Africa and old memories. But the sharp lash of the slave-driver soon brought her back to the plantation and her thoughts to cotton-picking.

Year after year passed by in this manner. She picked cotton, worked in, the combing factory and thought of father and husband.

Although every slave who was sold from the plantation knew her sad story and spread it, yet it was ten years befor she finally suc­ ceeded in finding out Hamud.

The master happened to sell a slave to another planter, and Vuda admonished the slave not to forget her story when he reached the new plantation. Accordingly, the negro told her story to the slaves on the new plantation. While he told it, a tall man stepped close to him and asked him the name of the poor woman. When the man heard the name Vuda pronounced, lie seized the new slave —32—

(mjtt and eagerly devoured all the news he could get about his beloved.

He made up his mind to get to her at any cost.

One hot morning in January, while the slaves were busily pick­ ing the last of the crop, the master’s coach rolled through the main entrance of the estate. On the box sat a new coachman. The slaves all looked up at the stately bearing of the coachman. Vuda looked, gazed, and then with a wild shriek of joy, heedless of the anger of the cruel slave-driver, she ran and threw herself into Hamud’s open arms. One silent embrace and tlie slave-driver was upon them and tore Vuda from Hamud’s clasp and pushed her toward the field.

Hamud was boiling with wrath, but his time to act had not yet come.

When Hamud came to Vuda, after the day’s picking was done, she immediately asked him about her father.

Hamud told her straiglit-forwardly: “He is dead these four years ” Then he began his story: “When you were taken from me, dear Vuda, your father and I were cast into the stinking hold of a rotten ship. We never saw the light of day, until we reached this shore. Your father and I were sold to the same master, a kind-hearted being. After a few years of happy service, not slavery, your father became sick. He had contracted a cold and pneumonia had set in during the cool winter. The massa moved him to his own home and gavo him all the possible comforts to brighten his last days. When he was (ly­ ing, he told me many things, but his very last words were of you.

He’ said to me in a broken voice: ‘Hamud, if ever you should soe my dear Vuda, in this world, tell her that it. was my last wish that she accept the God of her captors. Tell her liow I found him, when­ ever I was in distress, a very present help.，” When Hamud had finished he heard the subdued sighs of grief of the bereaved daugh­ ter. The sighs were sighs of joy. Vuda had learned to trust and love the God of her captors and she now poured out her thanks to Him for having directed her father’s steps so that he, in his old age, accepted the true God. It was a blessed life for Hamud from now on to be so near to the object of his love and he gradually regained his spirit of jovial­ ity. Vuda also bloomed up from the great joy of being with Hamud. but her spirit had been broken and under the curses and lashes of the slave-driver it was gradually sinking.

One morning, it was some six months later, Hamud failed to notice Vuda’s usual greeting when he entered the plantation. When the master had alighted at the house, Hamud stood and searched the field for her. Finally he saw her, prostrate on tlie ground and —33—

I the slave-driver bending over her. Without another thought, Hamud charged across the field and was upon the infuriated slavedriver. Hamud took Vuda’s rigid form for dead and with a howl of rage he leaped upon the slave-driver and bore him to the ground.

The negroes were attracted by the commotion and rushed to the con­ flict. The whole field became astir with yelling slaves. The master heard the noises from the house and came rushing to the field with two pistols in his hands. He immediately saw that, if he should not free his slave-driver from the gorilla-hug of the coachman, he would be overcome in a short time. He took a pistol and deliber­ ately emptied a barrel at Hamud. Ilamud released his hold on the man and rolled in (lie dust.

Vuda and Hamud were dragged into a tool shack near by. Here Vuda opened her eyes and saw Iiamud lying before her, bleeding from below his left shoulder. He raised himself on his elbow and motioned to her. She tried to rise from the floor, but with all the strength she could muster, she only came within reach of his lov­ ing embrace. Thus they were found when their spirits had fled.

Hamud’s dream had been realized. Soon Vuda, her father, and he were reunited in that far country, Paradise. Their spirits had found the freedom which (he world denied their bodies. rieiTZEXS BIENEN. C. Albrecht, ’22.

Es war an einem sell onen Friihlingstage. Die Sonne warf ihre lebenerweckenden Strahlen iiber Berg und Tal, und kaum war ein Wolklein am I-Iimmel zu sehen. “Junge,” sagte der Vater zu seinem Sohne Fritz, “heute wollen wir die Bienen aus (lem Keller holen. Sie fiililen sicli viel besser, wenn sie wieder ans Licht und in die frische Luft kommen.” Fritz, der schon lange auf diesen Tag gewartet hatte, war sofort damit einverstanden. Heute schien ihm die Mittagspause gar zu lang, die doch sonst so kurz war. Er koimte die Zeit fast nicht ab'varten, bis ihm die Bienen wieder um den Kopf scliwirrten.

Endlich kam der Vater. Fritz hatte mittlerweile sclion das Auch Zeitungspapier Flachsstroh vom Kellereingang entfernt. hatte er geholt, denn er wusste wohl, dass der Vater im vorigen Jahre das Flugloch damit verstopft hatte, als er die Bienen aus dem Keller holte. 'Varum, wusste er nicht; aber der Vater wird —34—

:

ja seinen Grund dafiir liaben. Der Vater offnete den Keller und kroch hinein. 0 traurige Nachricht! Fiinf Schwiirme waren tot, drei selir leicht, und die febrigen vier nicht viel besser. Ringsherum komite mail Schimmel selien; unten an der Wand waren Streifen, die von Wasser zeugten. “Bei dem Tauwetter im Februar muss Wasser in den Keller gekommen sein. Es war zu feucht. Wir konnen uns freuen, dass iiberliaupt nocli welche am Leben sind,” sagte der Vater bedenklich. “Meine armen Bienen,” fiigte Fritz traurig liinzu; und als der Vater aufs Feld zur Arbeit gegangen war, sammelte er sorgfalltig alle die toten Bienen in eine Kiste und begrub sie heimlich ganz allein im Haine.

Unterdessen kamen die anderen Bienen aus den Stocken summend in den Hain geflogen und saugten an den; Knospen, aber Fritz merkte niclits. Er war sclieinbar tief in Gedanken versunken.

Was mag er gedacht haben? So sass er lange, den Kopf liangend, bis eine Biene ilim mehrere Mai im Zickzack schwirrend um das Haupt summte. Da sail er sich ein Weilchen um, und eilenden Fusses ging er zu den Bienenstocken. Dies war sein Lieblingsort.

Er suchte sich einen Stock und wollte die Frosche toten, die es wagen wiirden, seine Bienen zu fangen. Aber vergeblich lauerte er auf Frosche; es lies sicli keiner sehen, und bald versank er wieder in tiefe Stille, wahrend die Bienen rastlos aus- und einllogen.

Pfeilgescliwind flogen die Jalire dahin. Fritz war jetzt sclion zum sechzehnjahrigen Knaben herangewachsen und musste dem Vater auf dem Felde helfen. Diese Arbeit wollte ihm clocli gar nicht gefallen; er musste sich aber fiigen, denn diese Geschiclite spielt sich ab in der Zeit, da der Vater noch etwasi zu sagen hatte in seinem Hause.

Als Vater und Sohn eines Tages miteinander im Korn arbeiteten, kamen die kleinen Geschwister aufs Feld gesprungen und jedes wollte das andere ubertonen mit dem Rufe: Die Bienen schwarmen! Die Bienen schwarmen!M Das bedeutete, dass die Feldarbeit liegen bleiben musste, bis die Bienen eingefangen waren.

Nun war Fritz Hans im Gliick. Er war der erste, der den Hof erreichte, dann kamen die anderen Kinder der Reihe nah an und zuletzt der Vater. Wo waren die Bienen? Die Mutter stand bei der Scheune und warf ilire Blicke hoch in einen Baum. Dort mussten die Bienen sein. Die ganze Kinderschaar lief zur Mutter und schauten hinauf, wie die Bienen im Kreise flogen und1 sich allmahlich an einen Ast setzten. Immer grosser wurde der schwarze Punkt, bis er endlich lang wie ein Ofenrohr vom Aste lierabhing.

—35—

i -i :

:Hell | Nur noch einzelne Bienen flogen heruin und des Summens war cin Ende. Der Vater hatte einen Bienenkorb fertig gemacht und hergebracht- Fritz sail abwechselnd nach dem Schwarm und der Leiter, aber wie oft er auch die Lei ter ansah, sie wollte nicht langer werden. “Lass sie liui%” sagte der Vater gleichgultig, **du kriegst sie doch nicht lierunter.” Fritz aber dachte anders. Den Schwarm musste er haben. Er holte sich die Axt, spahte in den Asten herum, bis er einen gabelformigen fand, hieb ilin ab und befestigte einen Sack in der Gabel. t)ber die Spitze der Lei ter hinaus stieg er in die Aste, bis er miL der Gabel clen Schwarm erreichen konnte, und streifte dann clen Sack ganz sachte liber den rohrformigen Schwarm.

Ein gewaltiger Stoss an den Ast------ die Bienen samt Sack und Gabel lagen auf tier Erde. Fast ware Fritz auf demselben Wege heruntergekommen. Der Vater leerte den Sack in den Korb, ehe Fritz den Bodem erreichte. Der Schwarm war gerettet. “Dieser Stock soil dir ganz allein geliGren,” schmunzelte der Vater, “du hast ihn verdient.”

An diesem Tage begann Fritzens Gliick. Nun hatte er doch Bienen. Die Plane, die er sich als neunjahriger Knabe im Haine am Grabe der Bienen gemacht und nachher bei den Bienenstocken weiterausgesponnen hatte, fingen jetzt an in Erfiillung zu gehen, Ja, und schnell gingen sie in Wirklichkeit uber. Neun Jahre spater war Fritz einer der bekanntesten Imker.

Was ein Hiikchen werden will, kriimmt sich bei Zeiten.

FRIENDSHIP, R. Koch, *24.

Entreat me not to leave thee, And to return from following after thee: For whither tliou goest, I will go; a And where thou lodgest, I will lodge: Thy people shall be my people, And thy God my God. It is an old saying that a friend is another self. The joyful discovery that we are something to another, and another is every­ thing to us is a miracle. It is natural then to give up self and to link our life to others; for the joy that comes from a true com­ munion of one heart with another is perhaps the purest and great—36—

est in the world. Friendship is the first unveiling of the secret of love. It is the fountain and only motive of mutual relationship in which the heart can speak true. The classic instance of David and Jonathan represents the model of friendship. They met and felt that they belonged to each other. All the troubles and the disorders of their lives were forgotten: David was patient with Saul for liis son’s sake, and Jonathan took upon himself tlie anger of his father to shield his friend. Such friends who will stand at one’s side in life and death are real friends. Christ said, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay clown his life ror his friends.”

To make friends we must culture friendship, because friendship is a duty and responsibility, and therefore requires and deserves great:care ,thought, and trouble. Trust is the first requisite for making a friend, and faithfulness is the first requisite for keeping him. Golden friendship is no common tiling; it is seldom found in the streets and in the slums, and rarely, if at all, in the grandeur of society. In such soil that tender plant cannot thrive, there it cannot be watered and cultivated. The flame of passion which at first flickered low, but then blazed up into a fire of first love, will soon die down and fade away into the light of common day. Friend­ ship begins with emotion, but if it is to remain, it must become a habit It needs delicate handling and watchful care. We must be ready to serve our friend wherever an opportunity occurs, and in this service we should be loyal. We live and serve for our frieiHls not principally by doing deeds outwardly, but by doing them in­ wardly. They must come from the heart and therefore must be spiritual. There should be fellowship and community in the deep­ est things of the soul. Religion, the truth of the Gospel, should occupy the pinnacle of all spiirtual relations. How can ihe relation­ ship of our hearts be sound and true if our I’aitli, our Iiojr、，and our love for Him differ? Therefore, to culture friendship, love must crown the thoughts and intents of our hearts.

From the fountain of love flow many fruits of friendship. First of all there is the satisfaction of the heart. To satisfy the heart, it is impossible to refrain from giving vent to one’s feelings. Bacon says, “A principal fruit of friendship is the ease and discharge of the fulness and swellings of the heart, which passions of all kinds do cause and induce. We know diseases of stoppings and suffoca­ tions are the most dangerous in the body, and it is not much other­ wise in the mind; you may take sarza to open the liver, steel to —37—

I open the spleen, flour of sulphur for the lungs, but no receipt openeth the heart but a true friend, to whom you may import griefs, joys, fears, hopes, suspicions, counsels, and whatsoever lieth upon the heart to oppress it, in a kind of civil shrift o^' confession.” It redoubles joys, and cuts griefs in halves. Every man craves fel­ lowship. In his darkest hours of distress, of painful sorrow, he 】ongs for a sympathizing friend. Even Christ felt the pangs of loneliness in his great agony on the Mount of Olives. There' he found his disciples sleeping peacefully while he was praying and wringing with death, and with a sigh he said, “Could ye not watch with me one liour?” He was human, and felt the lack of sympathy and friendship. Friendship does not only satisfy the heart, but also the mind. “It makes daylight in the understanding out of darkness and confusion of thoughts.” From a friend we receive faithful and wholesome counsel. He will never needlessly hurt, but is always frank and truthful in liis criticism, for he seeks only our welfare.

A real friend will naturally elevate the ideals and give strength to the character of his companion. He is the best safeguard against temptation, a strong barrier against evil influences, and a moral standard to prompt us to good.

There is nothing so important as the choice of friends; for true happiness does not consist in the multitude of friends, but in the worth and choice. Friends should be chosen for their character, for goodness, for truth and trustworthiness. If they have not these characteristics, they should be rejected; if they have them, we can do nothing else but claim them and love them. A person who wants to be a friend of everybody and foe of none is a weather friend. He takes up every sort of comrade and seeks to be on good terms with everybody. He is as light as the wind and can easily be blown about. Many like him, but few trust him. Now it is not said that we should be extremely sensitive and feel about as if armed with antennae to seek and test our friends whether they are sound or not. Daily attention and deeds of love are the best criterions for truthfulness. Friends should not be chosen for the mere sake of their usefulness nor for worldly advantages, but for spiritual rea­ sons and purposes, because worldly things are temporal, but spiritual things are eternal. Therefore we cannot make friends with those that are of and for the world. If we choose our friends in Christ, we need not fear parting here on earth, nor there inj heaven. Such friendships are the sources of real joy and peace.

The wreck of friendship is sadder in many ways than the eclipse of friendship tlirougli death. There are worse losses than losses of death.; tlie loss of friendship causes keener grief. The former softens and sweetens, while the latter hardens and imbitters. Every­ body will at some time experience the loss of a friend. We grow out of some of our friendships. Many of them are formed thought­ lessly, or before we really know either ourselves or our friends.

Some friendships are merely boyish friendships. They were made while we played. We saw only the playfulness of our comrade, but when the days of scliool-boy comradeship were over, and each one had to separate from the other to paddle his own canoe, we drifted farther and farther down the stream and into tlie cataracts and rough waters of life, we forgot our young friends. Distance, sep­ aration of interests, and difference of work, all operate to divide.

Our former friends become men, tliey assume characters, some evil and baneful, and when we reflect how dear they were to our hearts, and see them now, we regret deeply that this estrangement occurred.

Many times temporary friendships are made. They exist for mutual conveniences through common interest at the time. When it comes to an end the partners are permitted to slip away easily without much regret. Often friendships are wrecked by outside causes, we need only look into ourselves and we shall find that the reasons lie within us. Little faults of manners, thoughtlessness and lack of the little courtesies, do more to separate people than glaring mis­ takes. Often a word is spoken when silence would have been more profitable, often we are silent when we should have spoken. There is more to be feared from unspoken and concealed, than from open and declared hostility. The wreck of friendship in tlie course of separation is ultimately a spiritual one. Worse than the separation of the grave is the desolation of the heart by faithlessness and distrust. The prophet Micali said, “Trust ye not any friend, put ye no confidence in a familiar friend: A man’s enemies are of his own household.,>' The renewal of friendship makes truer friends. Friends quar­ rel, and are miserable in their state of separation; afterwards, when the friendship is renewed, it is discovered that the bitter dispute was only a blessing in disguise. It is a true saying that man no sooner wakens to the value of his possession ere he is in danger of losing it. In spite of hot words, eyes which flashed fire, and an angry parting, they learn that their love for each other was as real —39—

and as strong as ever. It is a dangerous experiment to test affec­ tions, for a brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city. Christ said, “If thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between tliee and him alone; if he shall hear thee, then hast thou gained thy brother.” If we have won a lost friend we will walk more safely, because of the experience, and more than ever will tremble lest we lose him again.

Finally there is the higher friendship. There is a love which passes the love of woman, passes the love of comrades, passes all earthly love, the love of God to the weary, sinful, and mercy-craving man. Without the love and friendship of God all other love and friendship would be but deception.

Love Him and keep Him for thy Friend who, when all go away, will not forsake thee, nor suffer thee to perish at the last.

1Eitt0rial0 SYSTEM. Before the separating of the land and the seas on the third day of creation, system was a thing still unknown in the terres­ trial regions to be; the bulk from which the earth and the seas were made was one void, systemless mass. System came when the lands and seas were separated. Thus we might say; with the be­ ginning of time and the creation of things ‘system，crept into the world and remained there ever since.

We to-day can hardly imagine the universe without system.

We are so accustomed to the nice regulation of things that the 一41—

thought of a systemless state of affairs in creation hardly occurs to us. Imagine that the world would suddenly take the opposite direc­ tion of rotation every now and then. Would that not be a happy state? Imagine that each of the planets would choose its own course to traverse! Would there not be a continuous colliding, a falling of heavenly bodies into chaos and destruction? Such musings appear quite foolish and improbable to us, but things very like these are happening on a small scale in the world to-day.

In any sphere of human activity one wishes to choose, system is an absolute requisite. What is government without system? It ceases to be government and becomes chaotic anarchy. What more in business without system than failure, and bankruptcy? What is learning and teaching without system? Nothing more than a great waste of precious time. And so on and on one might go through the different spheres in life which we know, and find that the re­ sult of the lack of system is failure and the perverting of the end in view.

We must have system in everything've undertake, especially in our youth, when 've arc buiMiiis the foundation for our life’s structure. Then is the time to begin. Bend the tree while it is still a sapling. If we do not accustom ourselves to order and systen: now, we shall hardly do so after ten or twenty years, and the re­ sult of negligence in this case we have already seen! We have spent our life and missed our aim. It is positively necessary that we develop a feeling for system right now. A little effort now will save endless trouble and anguish of spirit in the years that are —R. coming.

THE KjNOX PEACE RESOLUTION. By a vote of 49 to 23 the United States senate adopted the reso­ lution introduced by Senator Knox of Pennsylvania declaring a technical status of peace to be re-established between the United States and tlie Central Powers. The resolution also impounds all segregated property for the benefit of American claimants against Germany and seeks to safeguard all the rights derived by this country from the treaties of Versailles, St. Germain, and Trianon.

The passage of the resolution means much to the United States.

The country as such can again trade with .Germany; it has already lost millions of dollars, because of a mere technicality, —42— :

L4,嚷划饮成

r.

whereas our colleague and ally, England, has gained a strong foot­ hold in the German market. After peace relations are again resumed we shall be able to exchange much of our stock for some of Germany’s products which are sorely needed in this country. The resolution will remedy labor condition at home to an appreciable extent.

But it is not so much the material gain that should make us breathe a sigh of relief. What means most to us in the passing of the resolution is the fact that the Senate has again made use of its legitimate powers which for the last four years were only nom­ inal, yes, almost dormant. Encouraged by Harding the Senate has rent its shackles, and with the exception of the Democratic minority took the first decided step toward the establishment of a status quo ante bellum. We all hope that the Senate will continue its stride and bring this country again on a firm basis. Whether we shall side with our allies on every question concerning the world’s wel­ fare remains yet to be seen. The much-talked-aboul League of Nations has begun the sleep that knows no wakening, and the Ver­ sailles treaty seems to be subject to watchful waiting. What tlie next four years will bring us we do not know. For tlie present, however, we should rejoice that the mind of our Senate is again G. O. K.,，22. travelling in a channel of its own.

A TEACHER AND HIS TEXT-BOOK.

i：

Time—a word known to all, used by all, and yet usually diffi­ cult to define! We say time is that wherein we determine happen­ ings with reference to before and after, beginning and end; but such an abstract definition tells the ordinary man practically noth­ ing. What he wants is in this case something we cannot give him， something concrete. A concrete definition of time is impossible, because time itself is something intangible to man, something of whose positive existence psychologists and philosophers are not yet agreed upon. But why endeavor to blow off the shrouding mists that rest upon something that has always been and probably will always remain dark and obscure to the meagre mind of our mor­ tal race. It is enough if each man has his own personal, subjective conception of what time really is and what it lias to teach.

Truly time is a universal teacher who should impart to us in­ valuable teachings. The experience of this wonderful teacher ex—43—

tends over a period that stretches back to the confines of eter­ nity, to the very first hour of creation. Through the ages, teacher Time has lived on, as he does now, always beholding new events, new happenings, which he nicely records in the book he now offers us, the book from which we can draw much valuable information and knowledge一history, the diary and text-book of time.

History is the cornerstone of all education. The man who knows and understands liistory is well on his way to a good edu­ cation. He understands mankind, first of all. The nature of mor­ tal man has not changed much through the ages; the same pas­ sions, virtues, and evils which ruled the mind of man in past gen­ erations, do even so to-day. Next, the historian can pass good, clear judgment on nearly all events that occur in the course of time and thus save the statesman many blunders and errors that might lead to his political downfall.

The man who knows no history is not educated. Teacher Time is always ready: liis schedule is never full: through his text-book, history, he offers us his services free of charge. Let us not let slip —R. the opportunity!

Qkilkgi，现ates The old dinner bell of our refectory sounded a few taps at seventhirty o’clock on the evening of April the ninth, and they were in­ deed taps that brightened the faces of those concerned. They meant the beginning of a joyful evening for the editorial staff of the twenty-fifth volume of the Black and Red and the departing members of the old staff. They assembled in the chapel of the dor­ mitory and from there proceeded in order, the faithful retired mem­ bers taking the lead to the festive room where they were to cele­ brate the annual Black and Red banquet. Little black pages in red uniforms at each plate aided them in finding their designated —48—

1 places and they seated themselves at a table which seemed to unite the new staff members into one cooperative body in work as well as in merriment. The appropriate black and red combination was prominent throughout the decorations, set off by tlie purple and gold representing the class of tlie departing members.

The first part of the evening was spent in feasting and jollity.

Five sumptuous courses were set before them in great plenty. Mrs. Koeninger, tjie honored hostess, spared no pains in giving them the best to be had and everyone appreciated and expressed their thanks for her hospitality. During the first course many little verses were exchanged and read that were written by some unknown poet, who rhymed a descriptive couplet for each person present.

Although everyone was kept quite busy with knives and forks, enough time was still found for social chatting, jesting and laugh­ ing to make the evening a very enjoyable one. About nine-fifteen o’clock a short recess was agreed upon, during which the guests took a stroll in the cool evening breeze.

After the recess all again joined in the banquet room. Mr. Rohda, our new editor-in-chief, was then appointed toastmaster of the happy circle. He told them what he expected of his new staff and that cooperation was one of the most necessary assets of the staff successfully to complete the twenty-fifth volume of our college paper. The experienced members who were about to leave their former colleagues, then gave their advice and suggestions for the bettering of the Black and Red, after which those who had just re­ ceived their new positions, in their toasts expressed the promise that they would aid the editor-in-chief to the best of their ability.

All voices joined in harmony to sing an “Er lebe lioch” after every toast in honor of tlie speaker. The rest of the evening was devoted to telling stories and interesting experiences until half past the smallest hour in the morning, when the party finally disbanded. A hike of about four miles fitted them for retiring. It is said that this celebration was one of the best in many years and the occasion will long be remembered by all.

The warm spring weather in the arly part of April brought with it the day that was long looked forward to. It was with great pleasure that all the students read the sign on the bulletin board, on April fourth, that if there were no indications of rain, Arborday would be celebrated on the following day.

The bright sun the next morning looked very promising and —49—

by eight o'clock everyone was hard at work. The preparatory stu­ dents were kept busy with the lawn. The two lowest classes moved their rakes rapidly across the ground and gathered the dry leaves and dead branches in heaps ready for the husky quartaners to re­ move them with wagons. Like magic the dark monotonous cover was changed to the beautiful green spread that nature duly provided. Under Captain Hinnenthal, the freshies and tertianers worked oil the baseball diamond. With this large crew the diamond was put in a perfect shape for the coming season’s games, The sophomore class worked with Dr. Ott, and under his direction pruned the trees of the premises and felled several large trees that were in some way defective or unsightly. They also planted quite a number of elms, including two class trees, which were set on the northern side of lhe campus. The management of the entire work was given over to the class of ’22. While fulfilling their duty as supervisors, they also were the right-hand men of their fellow stu­ dents and pul. in a helping hand wherever possible. After two hours of physical labor, which the students were not accustomed to, every­ one felt the need of a bite to eat. At ten o’clock Mrs. Koeninger had provided a luncheon of sandwiches and lemonade to satisfy the hungry boys. Refreshed and invigorated, all again went to work and by noon the college park was gleaming in its new spring attire.

Although Arbor-day was usually a day of recreation for the seniors, they also exerted themselves to some extent. The class tree which they planted last year failed to grow and in its plac<| they put an elm that seemed to be a sturdy tree with the hope thai it might grow and stand as a remembrance of their class in future years.

Under the auspices of the Men’s Club of the Trinity Lutheran Church, the four hundredth anniversary of Luther’s heroic stand be­ fore the Diet of Worms, was commemorated at the college audi­ torium on the evening of April the nineteenth. The appreciation of Luther’s work was shown by many Watertown people who attended the celebration.

The address by the Rev. Wm. Dallmann of Milwaukee on Luther the Liberator was the center of interest for the evening. He showed us that without Luther's stand at Worms, many American liberties that we have today would be impossible. Luther stood at Worms for liberty of conscience, freedom of thought, civil and religious liberty, and tlie separation of church and state, all those privileges —50—

that are so highly prized in our country. This address no doubt gave many a clearer insight as to the greatness of Luther’s achieve­ ments.

The college band and orchestra furnished the music for the occasion. St. Mark’s Church Choir and N. W. C. Chorus sang sev­ eral anthems.

:H : :

•K. ‘

Whitewater Normal, 2; Northwestern, 8.

On April 23 the Normal nine from Whitewater played our squad of ball players on our campus.

The two runs of the Whitewater team were made in the open­ ing inning of the game. Damuth reached first by a swift grounder to right field. Olson’s hit brought Damutli to second. Then Damuth came in on Van Duser’s strikeout and Burton’s walk. Olson reached third safeTy and brought in the second run, when Anderson made his hit over second. In the meantime I-Iassett had flied out to first base and now Palmer struck out, bringing the first of the first to an end.

Northwestern paid them back in the same measure by scoring Brandt’s and Sauer’s runs. Krenke flied out to the pitcher, Brandt —51—

1 Walked and Sauer hit the ball through third. Brandt came home.

Hinnenthars sacrifice brought Sauer home. Kleinke then hit to center field, but died on bases, because Meier’s fly was caught.

In the third our boys scored another run. Brandt again walked.

Sauer flied out to left field. Hinnenthal brought Brandt to second on a sacrifice bunt. Kleinke's hit through second gave Brandt the chance to come in for the third run. Meier’s fly was caught and Kleinke died on bases.

The Normals held the score tied until the last of the fifth. Then Krenke hit the ball through short. Brandt was out on first. Krenke went down to second. Sauer struck out and Hinnenthal hit the ball over third base. The pitcher threw tlie ball wildly to first and Hin­ nenthal ripped down to second on it. Now Krenke brought in the fourth run. Kleinkes foul was caught by the catcher. Three men down.

In the seventh we again scored. Bolle went to first on a grounder to shortstop. Krenke’s loul ball was caught by the man on third.

Brandt got safely to first and Bolle to second. Sauer then was hit by a wild pitch and Brandt went to second, Bolle to third. Bases full. Hinnenthal hit tlie ball over third and went to second, forcing Brandi and Bolle in. Kleinke’s hit through second brought Sauer in. Meier hit a nice fly to center field and Hinnenthal came in for the eighth run. Groth flied out to shortstop and Bierwagen tc catcher. The score remained 8-2, although Whitewater was up twice after this.

The Milton Game Milton 5, Northwestern 1.

The Milton game was played on April 28. The victory of the strangers was perhaps greatly due to the fact that our boys couldn’t get used to tlie left-handed pitcher, Lanphere. We’ll try to defeat tliem when we play them the return game on June) 9.

The scoring of the Milton nine began in the second inning, when Perrill brought in a man. In the fourth Ferrill and Korth came in and Milton had three. Kakuske ran in another score for them in the sixth. In the first of the ninth, Kakuske hit a threebagger and came in on it. Krenke stepped up to the plate for North­ western and made a safe hit. Knispel, a pinch hitter for Brandt, struck out and Krenke went to second. Then Sauer struck out.

While Hinnenthal was at bat, Krenke got to third and then home on a wild throw. Hinnenthal struck out and the game wa包over.

A few words to the student body in regard to tlie games played at the College Campus. It has been remarked that our team lost two runs in the Milton game, because it received no support from the side lines: The spectators are all “pep” when the team is win­ ning, and the team cheers up of its own accord. But when it is losing, this “pep” usually dies and instead of a good rally, the spec­ tators sit quiet and even bemoan the fact that this, or that thing in the work of tlie team is wrong.

The spectators of the Milton team found a great convenience on the campus, which Northwestern until now had not afforded its —53—

spectators—three sets of bleachers, with a total seating capacity of six hundred. The purchase of these bleachers was made possible only by the generous support we received from some of Watertown’s business men. The bleachers are gratefully appreciated by the students! a «» p

THE COMENIAN The Cornellian, published at Bethlehem, Pa., has been a regulai and welcome visitor to our exchange table for a long time.

Although there is no heading, we think the first three articles are meant to be literary numbers.

“The American Flag” is well written and inspires us with pat­ riotism and love of Old Glory. Yes, we all love the Stars and Stripes and will, if need be, follow in the footsteps of our fathers and broth­ ers in sealing our love with life itself.

The writer of “The Spanish Bullfight” has evidently made a very careful study of that subject. After reading the article one has a very vivid picture of the national sport of Spain.

“From a Student’s Viewpoint” contains some good humor. The scarcity of the ‘‘Almighty Dollar” does exert a powerful influence on the life of dormitory students.

A short story would not be out of place in this department.

The editorial column contains three well written articles.

Your “Joke” column is short but snappy. The poetry confers an agreeable variety to this part of your paper.

—54—

n :/ ：, •.

“The Melting Pot” apparently covers school notes, alumni news, and the activities of the different organizations, and is cut into by continuations of other articles. Why not put this material into definite departments, say under “Alumni,” “Locals,” and “Organizadons,** or some similar headings.

“Exchanges” should also occupy a separate department. If the editor of this column would go more into detail, his criticism would be more instructive.

The “Athletics” editor might put a little more color into his writeups; otherwise his department is well taken care of.

All in all your paper contains an abundance of good material and is well written. But in respect to the outer appearance and arrangement we would suggest a few changes: You use the largest sheet of any of our exchanges. By usingv a smaller sheet you could send your magazine flat instead of folded up as at present. This would give it a neater and better appearance. The addition of a table of contents and a few cuts as department heads would make your paper more attractive.

We hope to continue receiving the Comenian. May the staff suc­ ceed in making each number bigger and better than its predecessor.

THE MANITOU MESSENGER The above from St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minn., is a very good example of a flourishing college weekly. Student activities are well represented. The paper is well written, and one can easily see that it is published at a live-wire school.

THE GUSTAVIAN WEEKLY The above is published by Gustavius Adolphus College, St. Peter, Minn., and stands on a par with the Manitou Messenger. Its weekly appearance makes it comparatively easy to keep students and alumni in closer touch with their Alma Mater.

—In February, Chowdy, ’23，suffered from an attack of appendi­ citis, journeyed to his home in Eagleton, Wis. In Chippewa Falls he successfully underwent an operation. His chubby appearance on returning to Northwestern April 10 showed that he by no means fasted at home. 一Chicken pox forced Karl Kionka, prep.，to pass his Easter vaca­ tion in the infirmary. Karl’s walks were restricted to the back yard, where he made a thorough study of the barnyard inhabitants.

—Bud Knoll,，22, and ,Gus Krause,，22, found it hard to return to their work after Easter recess, for both of them returned a week late. Even then certain pleasant memories were so vivid in Bud’s mind that he was in Milwaukee again at the end of the week.

—Since Easter vacation R. A. Winter, prep., has been occupying his cousin’s position in the bank at Lebanon, Wis. —On the evening of March 26 Butch Meier, ’21; Speck Palmer, ’22; Baer, ’23, and Fickle Fuhlbrigge, prep., quietly assembled at 612 Sixth Street. Mysterious doings!

To-day we are assembled here after having struggled from four­ teen to sixteen years to gain an education to fit us for life. We have drawn on experience and received many a cruel knock, we have listened to teachers and instructors and have tried to as­ similate what they said and later to apply it, we have perused the contents of text-books and sought to understand, we have drawn on the ancients, we have appropriated the learning of the mediaeval luminaries. On our book-shelves the thoughts, deeds, and ideas of every man of worth are assembled, and we need but turn pages to call forth the knowledge of men noted for their wisdom. It may seem that we steal knowledge on every hand, and the more of a Greek conjugation we make off with, the more the instructors encourage our zeal. But when you consider the hours of study and the many trials during the course of a year, and, speaking materially, when you consider the manual labor we do in the summer witli our sun-burned arms, to gain the pecuniary means necessary for further knowledge, you must admit that we pay well for what we have made off with, and no thief would steal against such odds. We may have recourse to every author, we may refer to any writer, we may read the arguments of any orator cased between the covers of our books, but the time spent in mastering this knowledge would, to an ordinary person, seem out of propor­ tion to gain. We graduate from high school, we gain our B. A. at college, and much time has been expended which could have been applied to manual labor, which at least shows tangible results.

Now wllat can be said to defend our spending so many years in acquiring knowledge, much of which we may never knowingly use. For instance, if a boy wishes to be a carpenter, an eighth grade education to give him a knowledge of reading and writing would be sufficient, and after he had hit his finger a few times with a hammer and sawed his knee, he would be a full-fledged carpenter, capable of doing his day’s work and be perfectly satisfied. If a boy chooses a business profession, a knowledge of arithmetic and a little commercial law will bring him far in business circles. If a stu­ dent has finished high school, he may teach, because as Seneca writes in his letter, “Men, while teaching, learn.” All is indeed 一62—

[♦卿math ^況也 true; it is remarkable with how little understanding a man may plod’ through life, but he will always be plodding, walking in a trance, only seeing when something brusquely excites his attention.

Of the finer things in life he takes no notice, because he has not been taught to observe them, or if he sees them, cannot appreciate them. The art of enjoyment is a closed book to those who have neglected their education. Limiting the bounds of education pre­ maturely in the hope of quick returns, is a bad bargain.

The pleasures of education are ours to enjoy, True we must work for these pleasures, but what good on earth is obtained with­ out an effort? It is no pleasure to be handicapped with a sense of deficiency in education. The knowledge we acquire is our own and the product of our own effort. No one can give us learning, we must gain it piece by piece and by individual labor. This is the satisfaction which brings us pleasure. Once we acquire some de­ gree of .education our learning does not conceal itself behind im­ penetrable walls and remain hidden; it issues forth to aid others, but at the same time it does not cease to enrich us. There is a thrill of joy complete, when we see how others assimilate the knowledge we lay before them, and absorb it with their own effort as we did. It is not necessary to be a teacher; with every word we speak we send out the fullness of our knowledge, and the greater our wisdom, acquired through study, the more words we may speak and the deeper will be their sense. We accumulate learning and never cease to accumulate, but from this store we may draw when we wish, and the more we store, the greater will be the pride in the achievement. It is no earthy store which ’twas mine, ’tis his, and has been slave to thousands, but an intellectual store which is all our own and no one can steal the smallest atom of our knowledge or rob us of our pleasures. There is exhilaration in poetry, pleasure in literature, enjoyment in history, gratification in mathematics. Learning is the “open sesame” to this entertain­ ment locked behind the portals of wisdom. The uneducated can­ not penetrate beyond the first gate. We have begun to work our way through the portals of wisdom, to experience the great joy be­ yond. The more we learn, the more we may enjoy our studies.

With each conquest we gain laurels, is this not worth our effort?

We have spent years, but is not our reward enormous?

provide for the mind. On one occasion Aristotle was asked how much the educated men were superior to the uneducated, and he exclaimed, “As much as the living are to the dead.” We cannot afford to neglect our intellect; if we do, it wastes away. From youth to old age we must provide for it and never cease.

This may seem like a task, but when we supply the mind with the many delicacies found in the learning preserved in books, we experience the joy of the banquet. And then, very rationally, since we have a mind, we must care for it if we wish to amount to any­ thing. If we neglect it, it dies, and where are the qualifications of a man?

Hawthorne says, “Education makes the man.” There is the point; we want to be men. We want to go out into the world and con­ quer, not by swinging our arms right and left and knocking over anything with which we come in contact, but by applying our know­ ledge to any difficulty. A goat will butt against a stone wall till he breaks his head, a man will apply the faculties of his brain and either remove the wall with adequate machinery or will go around it. Now there are many problems which offer more re­ sistance than a stone wall, but he who has a good education need not fear. When we are equipped with a well-developed intellect, and that is possible only through years of schooling, we are pre­ pared with the best weapons to journey through life. In praise of knowledge Bacon remarks, “A man is but what he knoweth.M The more we know of sound knowledge, the better men we shall be.

Wliat need I say more; is not this sufficient reason lor learning, and for never stopping to learn? We cannot become too educated.

Aristole says, “Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.” A person can judge from outward character­ istics, whether a man is educated or not, but if this test fails, he need but hear the man speak and in the course of the conversation lie will soon know the truth. There is a distinction in education, and the possessor of knowledge need not be ashamed of his possession.

It will stand him in good stead, especially in adversity. When he comes into an assemblage, he need not stand back and be afraid of being ridiculed for his ignorance, but he may hold out against the best of them and win laurels which physical force would stand abashed to see. When he is confronted by a problem he may solve it, either by his own faculties of reasoning or by the appli­ cation of the knowledge which he gathered in the course of his —66—

instruction. In argument he can battle with any one, while the uneducated needs must quail in their ignorance. With education we may brave all these terrors in life. I quote Tennyson, “Let knowledge grow from more to more, Is this not an incentive for diligent and continual study?

The man with an education is never alone. In solitude, in ad­ versity, in sorrow, in doubt, he has at his hand friends and com­ panions, councilors and advisors. In the words of Beaumont and Fletcher, “The place that does contain my books, The best companions, is to me A glorious court, where hourly I converse With the old sages and philosophers; And sometimes, for variety, I confer With kings and emperors, and weigh tlieir counsels; Calling their victories, if unjustly got, Unto a strict account, and, in my fancy, Deface their ill-placed statues.”

And again in the works of Whitlock, “Books are for company the best friends, in Doubts Counsellors, in Damps Comforters, Time’s Prospective, the Home Traveller’s Ship or Horse, the Busy Man’s Best Recreation, The Opiate of Idle Weariness, The Mind's best Ordinary, Nature’s garden and the seed-plot of Immortality.”

We may converse with Cicero, we may listen to Demosthenes, we may enjoy the company of Goethe and Schiller, of Shakespeare and Milton, of Longfellow and Whittier, and what instructive and in­ teresting companions they are! Who could feel pangs of dullness in their presence? They laugh with us in our joy, they console us in our sorrow. As Bailey expresses it, "Worthy books are not companions—they are solitudes. We lose ourselves in them and all our cares.”

Glory enough in education, our efforts are highly rewarded; but to us education means more than just earthly gratification. We place a higher valuation on our knowledge. We, as graduates of Northwestern College have acquired our knowledge to prepare us for the noblest calling on earth, the spreading of the .Gospel of Christ. For this work we cannot acquire too much knowledge.

We have spent years. Who can say they have been spent in vain?

J We have studied and labored. Who can say to no avail? We must 二. continue to study and labor, but who would not willingly do this g to serve Christ, who, through the Spirit, revealed the knowledge which passeth all understandings; who, through the Spirit, guids us into all truth.

WARUM SOLLEN WIR UNSEItE DEUTSCHE SPRACHE 1SICHT AUFGEBEN? Alexander R. Hillmer, ’21, Montello, Wis. In den machtigen Kampfen der Kirche gegen die papstliche Oberherrschaft und Anmassung wurde die glorreiche Reformation errungen. Aus ernsten tiefbewegten Herzen quoll die Sehnsucht nach freier Predigt reiner Lehre. Die Religion war dem Volke eine Gewissenssache. Und diese bedeutende Zeit bildet die Mutterzeit unserer heutigen deutschen Sprache.

Aus solchen ungunstigen Zustanden, mit solchen einfachen Ansatzen beginnt unsere Sprache. Vom Munde Hansens und Gretens genommen, bliilite sie empor zu einer der reichsten Sprachen aller Zeit. An I3eweglichkeit, Schonheit, Geschmeidigkeit ist nur eine, die holier steht, die griechische. Man bedenke, es waren vor Luther schon siebenzehn Bibeliibersetzungen entstanden, zwar alle mehr Oder weniger holzern und unzuverlassig. Und nun sollte Luther es wagen, die Bibel aus einer Sprache, die schon gleichsam tot war, in eine andere zu iibersetzen, die erst gebildet werden musste. Wic vorireflich hat er das vollbracht! Man kann sich liicht genug wundern, 'vie diese deutsche Bibel ein ewiger Quell der Verjungung fiir unsere Sprache ist. Fast alle Ausdrucke, die in der lutherischen Bibel stehen, sind deutsch und trotz der Jahrhunderte, die verflossen sind, lioch immer verstandlich. Und nicht nur yerstandlich. 'Vo unter alien Sprachen haben wir solche Lauterkeit, Klarheit, Reinheit? In den Handen der armsten, ungebildetsten Leute offenbart sie eben solche Verstandlichkeit, wie un­ ter den Gelehrtesten. Man bemliht sich deswegen vergeblich, eine wirkliche Verbesserung zu Stande zu brlngen.

Aber niclit nur als Bibelsprache, sondern auch fur die allgemeine Bildung ist die deutsche Sprache ein unermesslicher Schatz.

Sprich, damit icli dich kenne, sagt ein alter Philosoph. So ist es noch heute. Durch die Sprache, durch die Schriften eines Volkes lernt man Geschichte, “die Lehrmeisterin der Menscliheit.” Sein geistiges Leben, die Gedanken, die es bewegen, sein Herz und Gemiit erkennen wir aus der Sprache, aus der Literatur. Und gesetzt den Fall, wovor uns Gott in Gnaden behueten 'voile, dasz die deutsche Sprache auch von niemandem mehr gesprochen wiirde, so wiirde sie, wie heute die griechische, dennoch getrieben werden auf —71—

lioheren Lehranstalten. Denn vorwiegend durcli die deutsche Sprache hat die heutige Kultur solche Ilohe erreicht imd ist zu sol­ dier Blute gekommen. Erstens und besonders (lurch die griinaliche Pflege der Wissenscliaften und der Poesie bei Leuten, die ihre Sache liebten und verstanden, dann auch (lurch den Eifer, den sie Wir wollen doch nicht diese in anderen Volkern erweckten.

Schatze mit Fussen treten, noch wollen wir cliese frischen Quellen zu den anderen to ten Sprachen reilien.

Zu der wahren Bildung aber gehort noch mehr. Und dies ist nicht nur inniglich verbunden mit der Bildung. Es ist vielmehr die Grundlage und das Wesen aller Bildung, namlich die wahre Erkenntnis Gottes. Wir wollen ganz und gar niclit den Eindruck erwecken, als ob nur durcli die deutsche Bibel, Luthers Bibel, der wahre rechte Glaube gelehrt werden konne. Aber welche andere bibel in einer lieutigen Sprache hat so klar und unzweifelhaft den Sinn des inspirierten Wortes ,Gottes wiedergegeben ? Gewaltig in ihrer Einfacnlieit, liberzeugend in ihrer Treniichkeit und Reinheit ist diese Bibel nicht eine (Jebersetzung, sondern eine Verdeutschung. Sie gibt am treffendsten von alien den eigentlichen Urtext wieder und legt die alleinseligmachencie christlicne Lehre in ihrer Reinheit dar.

Von ungemeiner Bedeutung fiir wahre Bildung ist ferner Luth­ ers kleiner Katechismus; Luthers, denn seine Feder allein hat ilin hervorgebracht, aber dennoch eine Arbeit der Ganzen Kirche.

Manchen Leuten scheint dieses Buch besonders in Hezug auf das sachliche Verstandnis uberaus leicht und eigentlich nur fiir Kin­ der geeignet. Wer sich aber in das Buch hineingearbeitet hat, der wird Luthers Ausspruch wohl wiirdigen konnen, der sagt: ' Ob ich. wohl ein Doctor der heiligen Schrift bin, so kann ich doch nicht sagen, dass ich den Katechismus wisse und konne.

Der Katechismus ist der Grundriss der heilsamen Worte vom Glauben und von der Liebe in Christo Jesu, eigentlich fiir die aufgestellt, die durch die vernunftige lautere Milch der evangelischen Lehre J und Wahrheit zur Erkenntnis Christi erzogen werden sollen. Aber !: als Summa aller gottlichen Heilslehre, als eine kurze Zusammenfassung alles dessen, was einem Christen zu wissen notwendig ist, f ist er auch fur einen erwachsenen Christen von Wichtigkeit. Denn j durch die darin enthaltene Lehre ist man im Stande, alien Irrtum zu widerlegen.

Nun ist uns noch eine Gabe in der deutschen Sprache zu Teil —72—

worden, fur die wir in aller Demut unserem Gotte danken und durch die wir ihm noch heute lobsingen, das deutsche Kirchenlied. Es ist in der katholischen Kirche nichts als eine teuflische Erfindung des Papstes, dass der Preister und (lie heiligen Chore bei der Messe singen sollen, 'veil die Laien durch ihr Singen die Majestat des dreieinigen Gottes verletzen wiirden. Es ist vielmehr ein Gott wohlgeffilliges Opfer, das die Gemeinde ihm darbringt, wenn sie im Gesange gemeinschaftlich mit ihm redet, ihm client, ihn lobt. Und weil es dem lieben Gotte a n gen eh m ist, hat er auch Manner unter uns erweckt, die voll Glaubens an Jesum Christum uns den wunderbaren Sclialz der Kirchenlied^r gahen. damit wir rlihmen konnten seiner I-Tiinde Werk. Keine Snrache kann auch nur annahernd uns gleich kommen auf dem Gebiete der Kirchenlieder. Sie sind die Begeisteriinp： aller Christen, dps Ziel aller heutigen Dichter und die Verzweiflung aller, die sie zu iibersetzen suchen.

Wir s：eben alle zu, dass unsere deutsche Swrache von unermeszlichem Werte ist, und scliiUzen sie auch sehr hoch. Aber wir wobnen in einer Zeit und in einem Lande, wo die Amtsprache ens;lish ist, wo kein Tag ver^eht. ohne class wir in mehrfacher Weise in innige Beruhruni； damit kommen. Und es ware daher ungereimt, die englisclie Sprache vernachlassigen zu wollen. Es ist fast unmoglich ini gewolinlichen Leben. ohne diese Snrache fertig zu 'verden. Auch gibt es in unseren kirchlichen Kreisen viele Leute, die keine and ere Sprache verstehen Oder verstehen wollen, und schon um deretwillen liilissten wir die enslische Snrache fleiszig studieren.

Diese Snrache ist an sich schon fleisziges St.udium wert. Die TCulturgeschiclite keines Volkes ist so innie： mit der Geschichte der Sprache verbunden wie die englische. Noch ha ben je so viele fremde Elemente ilircn Einfluss ausgelibt. Sobald aber das Volk sich ungjestort entwickelte, kam es zu einem nationalen Selbstbewustsein, besanftigte die srobe Wirkung： des Fremden und assimilierte das Beste. in deni es das Ungereimte zur Seite schob. Und so besteht das Englische heute, wo es am reinsten eesprochen wird. sehr viel aus ursprun.fflichen ail eelsiichsisch en Worten. obwohl es beleuchtet ist vom Kreuz des Siidens so s;ut wie vom hellen Polarstern und von Millionen von Zungen fallt. Besonders die englische Bibel zeichnet sich aus durch die Einfachheit der Snrache.

danken und andlungen, ebenso wie im heissen Kampfe des taglichen Lebens. Von ihm und anderen, wie Milton, Pope, Dryden und Chaucer haben wir die Gesinnung und die Sprache des hochniiitigen und hochherzigen Englanders kennen gelernt, der heute seinen Einfluss an alien Orten ausubt.

Wie lehrreich und bedeutsam aber das Englisclie auch sein mag, es wird bei uns nie das Deutsche ersetzen. Man mochte liier 1 wolil einwerfen: Uebersetzt doch diese grossen Schatze in das Englische, zumal da unsere heranwachsende Jugend ein besseres Verstandnis hat fur das Englisclie als fiir das Deutsche. O kindliche Einfalt! Wir haben in der modern en Literatur zwar reiche Schjltze von vortrefflichen Uebersetzungen, die auch denjenigen, denen (lie alten Sprachen unbekannt sind, die Meisterwerke des Altertums zuganglich machen. Man kann wohl Worte und Gedanken aus einer Sprache in die andere iibertragen. Aber den Geist zu ubersetzen, das ist eine Gabe Gottes. Die Uebersetzung： bleibt weit hinter clem Originale zuruck, es sei denn, dass Gott wieder einen solchen UeberDenn zum setzer sendet wie Luther, der in seinem Werke lebt. gliicklichen Ueberstezen gehort eine genaue Kenntnis des Gemiitsund iGefuhlslebens, ferner der Geschichte beicler Volker 川i(l clann die Fahigkeit, sicli in die Sache hineinzudenken und die Ereisnisse niitzuerleben.

Sogar Luther, der Mann Gottes, vermooliie bei der Uebersetzung der deutschen Bibel, der vortrefflichsien ITebersetzuns, die die Welt besitzt nicht, den griechisclien Urtoxt in alien Fallen wiederzugeben in der urspriinglichen Klarlieit und Genauic：keit. Und dann glaube man nicht, dass Wort und Sadie dasselbe sind. Besonders beim Lehren des kleinen Katechismus lindet man. dasz unsere Jugjend wohl ein Wortverstandnis im En^lischen be­ sitzt, aber an Sachverstandnis sehr Mangel leidet. Denn sie be­ sitzt eben keine Anschauung. Ist es fur uns also reclit, dass wir das leichtsinnig wegwerfen, was uns in Fleisch und Blut libergegangen ist, unsere Seele erfasst hat?

Wir konnen also die englisclie Sprache nicht aufgeben und die deutsche wollen wir nicht preisgeben, denn sie ist uns unentbelirlich，besonders solange sie ihrem Wesen nach nicht iibersetzt. ist.

Sie wird aber uniibersetzt bleiben. bis Gott uns einen Maim schickt wie Luther. Solche Manner schickt Gott uns aber nur einen alle tausend Jahre. So bleibt uns nur iibrig. beide Sm'aclien neben einander zu treiben. Hiermit meinen wir niclit ein kaltsinniges Nebeneinander laufen, wie zwei Bahnziige, die beide denselben Weg ziehen. Der eine hat nichts mit dem anderen zu tun, noch ist der —74—

eine dem anderen forderlich, wohl aber gelegentlich hinderlich.

Wir empfehlen vielmehr ein Lehren in, mit dem anderen und durch das andere, so class beide gemeinsam flir denjenigen der Und war so lernen will, den Weg zur Anschauung bauen. \venn man zum Beispiel in der englischen Sprache lehrt und nicht zur Klarheit des Begriffes kommt, dass dann das Deutsche anwendet, wenn das geliiufiger ist, und umgekehrt.

Denn das Wesen eines Dinges lernt man vorzugsweise (lurch Vergleichung.

Und so lernt man auch Sprache ini allgemeinen und das Wesen der Sprache durch Vergleichung. Und obwohl man nicht seine Seele andert mit jeder neuen Sprache, so bekommt man doch neue Ansichten und erweltert seinen geistigen Horizont.

Darum, da wir weder die eine Sprache noch die andere verlieren konne noch wo lien, wollen wir mit alien Kraften Hand anlegen und diesen gar nicht zweitbesten Weg mit bittendem Herzen, auf Gottes Gnade und Beistand vertrauend, mit allem Eifer gehen.

ML SINK MAGNO VITA LABOHE DEBIT MORTALIBUS. (HOR. SERM. I, 9, 59.)

Rudolf Schlueter, ’21，Watertown, Wis. In diesen materialistischen Zeiten scheint es der einzige Wunsch der meisten Menschen zu sein, ohne grosse Arbeit in kurzer Zeit ihr Ziel z« gelangen. Das Ziel der meisten ist, schnell und ohne viel Arbeit Reich turn und dann bequemes Leben sich zu sichern. Um dies /.u erreichen, spekuliert man, denn durch Spekulieren wire! man manchmal in ganz kurzer Zeit ohne Anstrengung reich. Viele glauben, dass man sich geistigen Reich turn ebenso ohne schwere Miihe erwerben kann, versuchen daher, ohne angestrengte Arbeit durch Schule und Kollege zu kommen, und denken nicht daran, dass sie sich nicht flir die Schule, sondern fiirs Leben ausbilden mussen. Es gibt noch viele Beispiele, durch die man zeigen konnte, dass (lie Tendenz heutzutage ist, ohne Miihe und Arbeit etwas zu erlangen. Man vergisst, dass man ohne Arbeit keinen Erfolg haben kann. Der Dichter sagt: Nil sine magno vita labore dedit mortalibus.

—75—

Erfolg in dieser Welt setzt Arbeit voraus. Was ist Arbeit?

Arbeit ist Anstrengung und Ausdauer. Wenn jemand alle seine Krafte gebrauclit und dabei bleibt, bis das, was er zu verrichten hat, fertig ist, dann arbeitet er.

Die rechte Arbeit muss zweckmassig sein. Wollte jemand sich ungeheuer anstrengen, etwas zu tun, das vollig nutzloss ware und wozu er keinen Beruf liatte, so ware die Anstrengung ganz und gar unnutzig und ware nicht zweckmassig. Auch wenn jemand Tag und Nacht arbeiten wollte, ohne eine Minute zu ruhen, so ware das gewiss Arbeit, aber diese Art Arbeit ware unzweckmas­ sig; sie wurde nur die Gesundheit des Betreffenden ruinieren, well die Anstrengung uber seine Krafte geht.

Zur rechten Arbeit gehort, dass der Mensch solche Arbeit fiir sich erwahlt, wozu er Neigung und Talent hat. Sonst verschwendet er seine Krafte an Arbeit, die ihm keinen Nutzen bringen kann, wozu er keine Lust hat, wahrend er durch Arbeit, die ihm zusagt, sich selbst und der Menscliheit viel gr5sseren Nutzen bringen konnte.

Die rechte Arbeit muss ferner eine solche sein, durcli die der ^rbeitende sich selbst und die Seinen ernahren und kleiden kann.

Denn wenn sie dieses nicht erreicht, dann ist sie weder zweckmas­ sig noch lohnend, und das sollte sie doch sein.

Man muss aber nicht vergessen, dass mit der Anstrengung und Ausdauer allein nichts gewonnen ist. Obgleich der Staat durcli seine Ordnung der Arbeit Schutz gibt und ihr die Fruclit der Ar­ beit verbiirgt, so ist dies nur das Wenigste, das dazu dient, die Arbeit segensreich zu machen. An Gottes Segen ist alles gelegen, auch die Arbeit und die Friichte derselben. Gott hat dem Menschen die Arbeit geboten und auch dem Arbeiter seinen Lohn versprochen.

Alles dies ist notig, um die Arbeit zu rechter, segensreicher Arbeit zu machen. Wenn nun ein Mensch im rechten Sinne arbeitet, so wird er auch etwas erreichen, aber ohne Anstrengung und 1 Ausdauer wird nichts erreiclit. Gesetzt den Fall, ein Landmann besiisse ein grosses, fruchtbares Stuck Land. Wenn er nun sich 」 hinsetzt und das Land betrachtet und bei sich denkt, 'vie gross die j Ernte von diesem Stuck Land sein konnte, bearbeitet aber das Land = nicht, so ist er ein Tor und wird keinen Ertrag von seinem Lande | bekommen.

Wenn er aber das Land pfliigt und eggt und zum Beispiel Karpflan zt, setzt sich dann jedoch nieder, um die Ernte zu erwarten, ohne die Kartoffeln anzuhaufen und das Stuck Land —76—

1

vom Unkraut frei zu halten, so wird er nur eine geringe Ernte haben, denn ihm fehlte es an Ausdauer, nach dem Saen und Pflanzen das Land gut zu pflegen.

Nein, der Landmann wird den grossten Segen von seinem Lande davon tragen, der vom Pfliigen bis zur Ernte bestandig das Land bearbeitet. Ebenso ist es auf den anderen Gebieten des Ackerbaus, des Handels und Gewerbes.

Aber auch auf geistigem Gebiet gilt cliese Wahrheit. Wenn ein Knabe Oder Madchen sich auf eine hohere Schule begibt, um sich dort fur irgend einen Beruf vorzubereiten und zuerst ganz stramm arbeitet, so ist das ganz loblich. Aber wenn der Schuler nachhei die Ausdauer verliert und sich auf seine Leistungen in den unteren Klassen verlasst, so kann es unmoglich gut gehen. Sondern er muss die ganzen Jahre hindurch Anstrengung und Ausdauer anwenden, clanii wird er am Ende seiner Studierzeit gut im Stande sein, in den Kampf des Lebens einzutreten.

Es gilt cliese Wahrheit auf alien gebieten der Kunst und Wissenschaft. Das Denkvermogen muss geubt, das Gedachtnis gestiirkt, die FahigUeit der rechten Darstellung in Wort und Schrift herausgebildot werden. Kann das ohne Arbeit geschehen?

Zur Bildung des Charakters gehort ebenfalls Arbeit. Verstand Gefiihl, Wille miissen richtig beeinflusst werden. Jeden Tag muss der Christ arbeitcMi, um mit Gottes Hilfe das Unkraut des Herzens zu bekiimpfen und (lurch seine Gnade einen christlichen Charakter und christliche Werke als gute Frucht hervorzubringen.

Aber es ist zum Erfolg nicht nur Arbeit, sondern grosse Ar­ beit notig, um die Aufgabe gut und ordentlich zu verrichten. Dies kann wohl ein jeder aus eigener Erfahrung wissen. Wie oft hat man einen Aufsatz sclireiben miissen, auf den man, um ihn gut und ordentlich zu sclireiben, stundenlang grosse Mlihe und Ausdauer angewandt hat; wenn es claim noch dazu schones Wetter war und alles nach drauszen lockte, dann war es doppelt schwierig, bei der Arbeit zu bleiben. Oder wie oft hat es manche Muhe gekostet im Lateinischen, Griechischen Oder Hebraischen den richtigen Sinn beim Uebersetzen herauszubringen.

Es ist wahrlich Arbeit gewesen.

Es ware Torheit zu glauben, class wir etwa die einzigen waren, die im Leben uns mit Millie und Arbeit abqiiillen mussen Oder miissten. Durchaus nicht! Denn die Geschichte zeigt uns, wie beruhmte und erfolgreiche Manner im Altertum so gut wie der Neuzeit grosse Muhe anwenden miiszten, um ihr Ziel zu erreichen. Da ist â&#x20AC;&#x201D;77â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

,

丨

zum Beispiel Demosthenes, der sich vorgenommen liatte, ein grosser Redner zu werden. Um dies zu erreichen, muszte er durch Anstrengung und Ausdauer zwei grosse Hindernisse uberwinden, bis er.endlich als Redner zur Geltung kam. Er liatte namlich Redefieber, welches er durch wiederholtes Auftreten vor groszen Versammlungen iiberwand. Auszerdem stotterte er und liatte noch dazu das Ungliick, dass seine Sprechorgane nicht ricrtig funktionierten. Diese Uebel iiberwand er dadurch, wie man erzahlt, dass er ans Meer ging und mit einem kleinen Steine unter der Zunge gegen das Brausen des Meeres anredete, bis er es iibertonen konnte.

Er wurde in Athen schlieszlich als der grosste Redner einer Zeit bewundert. Und dass er wirklich ein grosser Redner war, kann man schon daraus sehen, dass seine Reden jetzt noch gelesen und gewiirdigt werden.

Ein anderer aber, der fiir uns noch mehr Bedeutung hat, musste auch durch Arbeit viele Hindernisse uberwinden, und (las war der Reformator Martin Luther. Er hat sich Tag und Nacht abgequillt, das richtige Verstandnis des Evangeliums zu finden. Naclulem er durcli den Geist Gottes Klarheit uber den Heilsweg gewonnen hatte, wollte er auch andere durch das Wort Gottes dazu fiihren, damit sie aucli selig wiirden. Wie muszte er da streiten in seinem Kampfe gegen die Macht des Papstes! Aber es ist ihm gelungen, die Macht des Papstes zu brechen und die Kirche zu reformieren.

Da uns solche glanzenden Beispiele des Erfolges liacli groszer Arbeit gegeben sind, ware es doch schmahlich, wenn wir versuchten, der Arbeit so viel als moglich zu entgehen! Wenn wir im rechten Sinne arbeiten, so wird der Erfolg nicht ausbleiben. Es sollte uns stets im Gedaclitnis bleiben: Nil sine magiio vita labore dedit mortalibus.â&#x20AC;?

THE CLOSE OF ANOTHER YEAR. Another school-year has come and gone to take its place among the others already passed, and we stand gazing back over those ten long months of study and effort. “How quickly they have vanished，’，we muse as we stand. “How long they seemed, when we looked ahead last fall, and now they are passed.”一But vain is such meditation! The year has fled and now the question to be ans­ wered is, “What have we accomplished?” Have we absorbed all the possible good from our time? We should have and it is our own grave, fault if we have not. One year in our education means —79—

much; if we have lazed on, neglected to a great extent our work and duty, we have been our own greatest hindrance to success. A year lost through neglect will always be one which we shall shrink from mentioning, always a blemish on our record, but it should not discourage us. A year lost, more so than a year won, should teach and encourage us. If we feel that we have learned not nearly so much, as we might have, we should not become disgusted with our­ selves, but dissatisfied; then and there we should determine to re­ turn next fall with new vim and vigor to a year of real, strenuous effort and labor. Each and every one of us should feel thus, for who is lie that has not wasted time and energy? We leave school in spring, weary and worn, to return next fall with rejuvenated strength in mind and body.

Those who are leaving Northwestern to return to its well-worn benches no more, depart with the heartiest blessings for success —R. from all. May they never forget their Alma Mater.

DISARMAMENT. Our country is at present engaged in a race, a competition with England and Japan for the supremacy of the waves. Our ship­ building program is requiring millions and billions of dollars an­ nually. Ninty-two per cent of the popular taxes are beinc; devoted to the navy and army. Our great Wisconsin man in the senate has rightly attacked this huge increase of our navy and advocates ■ the Borah plan of; disarmament. Senator La Pollette declares that - the sums expended for armanent are a waste of the people's money, merely a security for the interests of large American firms and profiteers.

And is it not entirely against American principles to prepare for war in such a way? One of our reasons, or in fact THE rea­ son for our fighting the world war was to crush Prussian militar一 ism. Our government officials were convinced at the time of our V entry into the war that militarism was detrimental to the world’s peace. And it is. But they beheld the mote in tlie eye of another " country and perceived not the beam in the eye of their own land.

We apparently are following Germany’s footsteps. Ninty-two per cent of the collected taxes is more than Germany ever expended in peace for the building of her large and efficient army. Militarism and the mailed fist have never yet won an ultimate and permanent victory. Examples in history are Sparta, Carthage, Spain, Napo­ leon and, last but not least, the German Empire.

The United States has no aggressive purposes, and we are well enough armed now to ward off an invader. Or do we think that one hundred and ten million people will lie supinely, while a for­ eign foe invades our country? In our short history we have fought and beaten formidable foes, yet we have never spent years and millions of dollars in preparing for war, as we are doing now. It was industry and commerce that made us strong, also for war.

America is a nation of no mean influence in the world. We succeeded in ending the Russo-Japanese war in 1905; it was through our intervention that the world war was finally terminated. On any important event of the day, Europe and the world look to see what stand America takes toward that question. It is without doubt possible then for us to bring about a restriction of armament between Japan, England and us. Japan speaks favorably of the Borah resolution. England approves of it. By restricting arma­ ments we not only come into friendly and peaceful relations with other countries, but we can avert another war that must come as the fruits of militarism, a preparation for war. It is with a feel­ ing of rejoicing that we received the news of the unanimous vote in the senate for the naval holiday. No doubt congress will con­ cur, and a conference with England and Japan will very likely be V. W”，22 brought about.

THJ： GREATEST KECREATION HALL. When 011 彳.walks up the busy avenues and boulevards of the cities in the evening and sees the masses crowding and bustling . II from theater to theater, from one recreation parlor to the next, a 丨」■: feeling almost of pity is awakened within him, and he is tempted ；:.9 to cry out, “Poor, poor creatures! Here after a day of hard and tedious labor you seek recreation in the hubbub and bustle of the noisy heart of your city. Could you enjoy but a few pleasures of ! the great outside.” . .

Truly the middle and lower classes in our large cities are little 丨；« ^ captives in their own homes,, Within the city’s prebetter than cincts they trudge day in, day out, year in, year out, and seldom :;腳 travel beyond its confines. It is, true most of our cities have beau- , tiful large parks which offer all sorts of sport, recreation, and com­ fort to the public, but these things do not strike the taste of t e greater share of the people. They must have something lively an gay; they seek their pleasure in the stuffy, crowded business sec­ tion with its glaring, dazzling lights and its places of gay 30 1 y, —81—

j

cafes, movie-houses, dance-halls, candy-parlors, and restaurants.

What a great opportunity have the residents of the smaller cities, towns, and villages, and the farmers for real joy and pleas­ ure! They haye all the conveniences for the best sports and mer­ riment at their disposal, in the greatest of all recreation halls, the great outside.

What is more pleasing in spring, when the grass, the trees, and the slirubs have put on their most velvety green, than to go out into the woods oil a bright, blue day and lie in the refreshing shade of the maples and hickories, listening to the birds twitter­ ing and the bees humming above? How enticing is the rapid stream, leaping and bounding over the rocks and the logs fallen into its bed! Where is the fisherman who would not sacrifice all the theatres of London and Paris, but to angle one little day in its waters, pulling the shining beauties from the deep, cool depths?

And at evening when the toils of the summer’s day are over, how pleasing, how refreshing it is to drift out in a canoe on the ripple­ less sheet of the quiet lake, trying to forget world and all! Such ire the pleasures of spring and summer, and all too transient do .hey seem.

But autumn brings new stores. The tables in our pleasurehall are changed, but the joy and sport continue. The setting is changed, but we enjoy the seasoning of variety. The streams and the lakes are chilled, the leaves and the grass are faded, but these circumstances add to the charm of fall. The corn in the shock standing in the field like so many spectre Indian wigwams, and the harvest-moon, lending its soft light, are a great feast for the eye.

The cool, clear evenings come, the children bring their spooky jack-o’-lanterns around, and the fond memories of childhood spring up in the minds of us older ones. Ah, who does not enjoy, who does not love nature in autumn!—But soon the chill, cold wind whirls the dry, dead leaves about一and there falls a white cover from above and we see them no more. All is freezing cold out­ side, but the doors of the all-year pleasure-parlor are not locked.

Winter, too, with its snow and ice has its pleasures.

Who dares say otherwise than, “Blessed and happy is the man who has the opportunity of enjoying himself in nature, man’s great­ est recreation hall.

When we who live in our small town and villages fell dissatisfaction drawing us toward the dazzling lights of the city, let us think for a moment and be thankful for being able to live so close to the great out-doors.

COLLEGE NOTES. One of the largest audiences ever drawn by Northwestern college concerts heard the short but snappy program of our twenty-first annual concert on the evening of May 6. The cars of people from the surroundings and neighboring towns who attended the event, were parked on both sides of College avenue, the entire length of our premises. By eight o’clock the auditorium was crowded to its seating capacity. The following interesting program was rendered: 1. Orchestra— — Director, Prof. E. Wendland.

The rolling of the drum and the crashing of the cymbal in this piece thrilled the entire audience. The playing of the orchestra showed the results of a great deal of practice and rehearsing. The Girls’ Glee club made great progress since their previous appearance, on account of their clear enunciations and the purity of their modulation they :pleased everybody. ' The male quartet did well with “Annie Laurie,” and considering that they had but a short time to make preparations, they must be given credit for their work. The new feature this year, the boys’ choir, captured the audience with their singing. The voices of the boys harmonized well with those of the tenors and basses. In their first appearance before an audience the boys did very well and we hope to see them with us next year. The beautiful harmony in “Crossing the Bar,” was fully brought out by the chorus. They put all their energy and spirit into their singing. They also did justice to '*Wenn die Rosen Bluhen/* and “Ellie Rhee.” In the latter the contrasting fortissimos and pianissimos pleased everyone. Our two soloists, Theo. Feisst on the violin, and Carl Bolle, at the piano, showed themselves to be beyond the beginners’ stage. The ease and cer­ tainty of the technique of these young artists is admirable.

concluded the program with the march, “Twelfth Regiment.” The boys easily kept up the band’s standard of former years.

All in all, the twenty-first concert, although shorter than any previous concert proved to be very successful. Due credit must be given to the directors of the organizations, who, through their dili­ gent work and patience did most toward making it the great suc­ cess that it was.

A farewell banquet was tendered to the senior class by Prof, and Mrs. Bolle, at the Bolle home on Saturday, May 21. The members of the class gathered in a large room decorated with the bright purple and gold combination, where they enjoyed the first part of the evening at a delicious supper. About 10 o’clock, after the suppsr, Carl Bolle was appointed toastmaster for the circle. Some time was spent in listening to the interesting toasts. The cus­ tomary “Er lebe hoch，” was sung in honor of each member of the class. The rest of the evening was spent in playing games, sing­ ing songs and telling stories. Of special interest was Mr. Baumann’s At two side-splitting recitation of “Le.venski at the Wedding. o，clock，after a “Lebe lioch” was sung to the host and hostess, the party disbanded. The seniors all reported a very enjoyable evening.

Hipon 5, Xortlnvestern 1.

On May 5, at 2:30 o’clock, the game between our boys and Ripon was called. Our boys played good ball, but the visitors seemed to One reason be a trifle superior to them in handling the “pill, for some of the strike-outs of Graf, the visiting pitcher, was that he was left-handed and that some of our players claim they can’t hit the ball, pitched from the wrong side.

In the very first inning the visitors scored two runs. And although Brandt reached third base, yet we closed the inning without a run.

We thought we had scored a run, when Brandt crossed home plate, but the umpire called Hinnenthal out, while he was running to third because Sauer’s grounder hit him on the leg.

In the third inning Ripon scored three more runs. Although our men hit the ball several times, yet the visitors’ infield and outfield picked them off before our men could effect any change in the score. Finally in the eighth we scored: Brandt bunted, went to second, while Hennenthal was up, and came in when Gentz hit the ball to right field.

The ninth looked favorable for our boys, but although Kleinke and Bierwagen were on bases with none out, yet a caught foul, a strike-out and a fly to the pitcher finished the game with a score of 5 to 1, in favor of the visitors.

Luth. Seminary B, Northwestern 2.

The annual game with the Seminary was played on May 7. They came to Watertown over-confident, thinking they would swamp • Northwestern. But they were fooled. As the game proceeded, they noticed that it was a decided case of “Durch Ivampf zum Sieg.”

They finally won, yet, but they worked hard for it and attained 5; : the slight victory with much anxiety and many heart throbs. Why, they even thought it necessary to manufacture some encouraging I -yells for their players in the eighth.

If was a tight game. The score remained a tie, zero on each side, until the seventh inning. Then Wacker changed it, by bringing =：'； Schumacher in through a hit to right field. Wacker came in on

Bodamer’s hit through second and Falk’s hit over short stop. Falk’s hit also brought Bodamer in and the Seminary had all they got.

Henning’s strike-out, Timmel’s strike-out and Lange’s fly-out to pitcher, finished the inning.

The eighth inning was our great inning. Bolle struck out three of the Seminary’s best hitters. When Bolle was through with his good work, our boys stepped to the plate. Knoll at once hit the ball over shortstop and went to second on it. Bierwagen rapped a nice one to first and Knoll ripped down to third. Krenke hit to third, Knoll sailed across home plate and Bierwagen followed closely on his heels. With Krenke on second and none down, the pros­ pects for a few more scores were excellent. But Gentz had a streak of tough luck; he slammed the ball a trifle too near to Schumacher, who was patroling center field, and Krenke remained on second. Although he sped to third befor Brandt struck out, yet he found no chance to come in while I-Iinnenthal was striking out, and died on bases. The score was three to two with one more chance left to score.

Wacker reached third in the ninth, but he received no support and (lied on bases. Our boys reached second twice, but still the Seminary kept them from scoring another run.

Concordia College 1, Northwestern 4.

!

On Saturday, May 14, our boys made an extended trip to Con­ cordia college, Oak Park, Illinois, about nine miles from Chicago.

Although Concordia had a set of good players, yet with some excellent fielding of our team and with a well-pitched game, we defeated them 4 to 1. Krenke ran after a foul 50 feet and caught it among the spectators along the third base line; Groth ran from centerfield to within 12 feet of second base and scooped a fly, too high for the second baseman to reach; Meier caught a ball on the run, which seemed doomed to be a home run; Hinnenthal caught a very high liner on a jump on second base; and finally, Bolle ;pitched a good game and held the Concordians tight to their bases.

In general the team worked well.

WARTIH HG QUARTERLY The Wartburg Quarterly from Wartburg College, Clinton, Iowa is one of the finer appearing and more attractive college publi­ cations. The paper is well planned, the material well arranged, and the finished product arrives in splendid condition. It is a real pleasure to pick up your paper. We would suggest, however, that you put all the advertisements after the reading matter.

Your literary department is well represented and balances well with the other departments.

“Worms, A Vantage一Point for the Study of Luther’s Life,” is one of the many good articles on Luther that the quadricentennial of the Diet of Worms has brought forth. The writer shows that Luther’s entire life, before April IS, 1521, was in a measure a preparation for his memorable stand at Worms. Luther is of suffi­ cient importance to warrant the study of his life and works at all times, not only at the quadricentennial of the “Turning Point” of his life.

The Luther League,” might have been an editorial. It calls attention to the fact that the spirit of the world threatens to gain a firm footing, even in such an organization as the Luther League, whose main object is to further the interest in the study of the Bible, and in church affairs in general.

“Fightin’ Jim,” carries out a fresh plot in an interesting way.

A crook falls in love with a beautiful waitress and reforms. They are already engaged when he is arrested for one of his former —99—

^

j

crimes. While lie is -serving his time, another man marries his :sweetheart. Disappointed in love and cut off from future happiness, ]Jim takes to his old life again. The writer closes by asking if ' Jim is really to be blamed for being an outcast from society.

The editorial department contains two numbers. The first points …out tlie danger of half-knowledge and admonishes us not to be :，satisfied with merely doing “something,” but to do our utmost in all our undertakings and especially in our efforts to further the Kingdom of God. The second uses Xenophon’s success as commander of the ten S • thousand Greeks as an illustration of the fact that setting an exi ample is one of the best methods of gaining prestige and co-opera­ tion.

The exchange editor goes into detail, which is the only way that the exchange department of a college paper can accomplish its purpose.

Your “College News” column is rather lengthy. We think that some of the more common occurrences could very well be omitted. \ Several paragraphs would be more appropriate if put under the • sports column, others if put under “siips and Slaps.”

The sport editor might give us a more vivid picture of the several \ games, otherwise his column is entirely passable.

“Slips and Slaps,” contains original humor and is in general quite ! refreshing.

Wartburg Quarterly is a paper of which the college and staff .may rightly be proud.

D. M. L. C. MESSENGER We shall devote the remainder of our alloted space to the publii cation of our sister school at New Ulm, Minn. First of all we wish to compliment the staff oil the improvement over the September number. The proof-reading has improved. The material is also better chosen and better written. The paper has also been im­ proved by the addition of a table of contents. We suggest that you put the page number in the table of contents. It would save much time in finding the several departments. Many of your readers would like to know by whom the different articles and stories were written. Why leave them in doubt, by publishing only the initials? “ Th.e literary department contains four well written articles.

“Spring,” is quite well written and contains some good ideas. It could, however, have been developed a little more fully.

=1

I

^:HeZt J

“Hans,” is the story of a pet crow that learned to talk and brought the mistress into a predicament by stealing a diamond from her uncle. The story is well written and holds the readers’ interest, but seems rather improbable.

“A Midnight Disturbance,” is short, but it holds the readers' at­ tention to the last syllable.

“The Price of War,” raises the question if war is really worth the price, that even the victor must pay.

The editorials, “Gute und schlechte Literatur,” and “Mental In­ dustry,” develop some good ideas. Why put “A View of Nature” in this column, when it would surely be more fitting as a literary number?

“Exchange is well written, but “College Notes” is almost too brief. There surely must have been more material than the editor used in developing his three short paragraphs.

“Alumni Notes” contains several contributed numbers, treating on Bible history, Indian missions, and the aim of parochial schools These articles must be very helpful to your readers, for undoubt­ edly, a large number of them are parochial school teachers.

“Co-ed Notes,” Locals,” and “Athletics，” come up to the stan­ dard set by the other departments.

“Jokes,”— —well we enjoyed them; so they accomplished their purpose.

We are personally acquainted with conditions at your school, and take more than a passive interest in it, and the paper by which it is represented. We believe that it would be easier to keep the several numbers of the Messenger up to a certain stan­ dard if you would change staffs sometime during the second semes­ ter, instead of at the end of the school year. The new members could then get friendly counsel from the departing ones until This would they became acquainted with their new positions, also take a burden from the shoulders of the seniors, who we know, are hard enough pressed as it is, with graduation arrangements.

This system has been adopted by the majority of college papers.

Many papers devote a page to advertising their school and to­ ward influencing young men and women to come to their school. It is something worth considering.

We wish the Messenger staff the best of success in their work.

WAHTOAKA. (The Tale of a Day Long Gone.)

Dudley Rohda, *22.

Civilization had penetrated the solid bounds of the vast American wilderness west of the Alleghenies in but few places. Here in the giant wilds the red men still fought, lived, and loved according to their own desires.

In the country which we know today as south central Wisconsin, just to the east of the great lake, its eastern boundary, lived tribes of Pottawatomies and Ottowas, with the Menomonies as their northern neighbors. They were unmolested by great wars; the generation that was grow­ ing into manhood had seen but a few light battles. In al­ most perfect peace these natives roamed the wilds.

Evening of the first warm spring-day had just settled over the land of the great Pottawaomie chief, Misshawa.

A few straggling red rays of the setting sun fell on the dark pines which topped the hill where lay the tepee of Wahtoaka, Misshawa's daughter, and sparkled on their black needles. Twilight was fast stealing over all the land.

Under the tall pines and firs, before her wigwam, looking —108—

-

over the quiet little lake to the westward, stood Wahtoaka, the great chief’s child. She raised her hand to her brow and peered out into the twilight. A look of expectation not happy rested on her face. She could discern nothing on the lake and this seemed to please her; he was not coming to­ night, the ardently loving warrior whom she did not love.

She dropped her hand to her side with a smile and bounded down the hillside toward the shore of the lake to take her evening dip. Within a minute or two she had thrown off her light leathern garments and was bobbing up and down in the lake’s cool, spring water. The water did not keep her long to-night, for slie was soon making her way up the hill, under the now starry heavens. She paused a moment before her wiigwam to say good-night to her friends, the stars; then retire d for the night.

The rising sun met her in the woods listening to the birds of spring, and looking for the first flowers. She was always up before her tribesmen; she loved the early hours of the morning. All day she roamed the forest, return­ ing only at noon and evening. Sunset saw her once more before her tepee, gazing over the rose-tinted water of the lake. The surface of the lake was clear. Her glance wan­ dered over the hillside. Half way down she saw a happy group of her tribe, gathered round a bright fire from which rose a column of light blue smoke. A few old squaws were sitting together smoking, a pace or two away some of the tribe’s bravest warriors were speaking among themselves, and beyond them blithe maidens were dancing about on the green. Wahtoaka had no longing to join them. Her gaze stole back to the water; there was nothing in sight.

Again she sprang up and bounded toward the shore; she was in the act of disrobing when lo! a canoe swung around the bend where the river widened to empty its water into the little lake. Wahtoaka stopped, quickly slipped on her leather jerkin again and stepped to the water’s edge. She expected to see the warrior whom she could not love―but it was not he. Before her in t.ne soft gray twilight, alone in his canoe sat a charming young Indian, strong, stalwart, and muscular•—one she had never seen before, not one of her tribe. Wahtoaka turned to leave the shore, but some passionate feeling in her heart held her back. The young man paddled to the shore and spoke a few words to the maiden, then rose, stepped on the bank, and pulled his canoe up after him. He seated himself on the ground; Wahtoaka imconsciously sat down beside him. It was dark­ ening, but her eyes did not fail to catch the gleam from ■

the young warrior，s armbands and ornaments; these told her he was a chieftain. When the chief spoke, he told her how he, the chieftain Owasse, had left his tribe, the Menomonies, three days’ journey to the northeastward and had followed up the chain of lakes and streams until he had come upon her. Wahtoaka listened long, and it was now dark; all the starry hosts of heaven were in the sky above the two. On a sudden the maiden started, for she had for­ gotten it was night and she must return to her tepee; she paused and glanced up the hillside. The fire that had been burning brightly when she had come to the water, was now only glowing. A few tribesmen were still about it; Misshawa was one. Wahtoaka rose to leave—but she could not leave her idol behind! She turned to him again, and in a few seconds maid and youth were making their way toward the fire. The great chief, Wahtoaka’s father, sat there smoking. Timidly the young girl led her new love to her sire. He arose and made a slight bow for he saw in the warrior before him a hero and a chieftain. Together the three sat and talked.

The two men smoked the pipe of peace and Wahtoaka’s heart jumped with the joy of pas­ sionate Indian love. The fire was low and the daughter left the group and returned with some dry wood: the fire burned brightly once more and the two chiefs talked on.

Wahtoaka listened attentively with a smile of contentment and pleasure.—But suddenly her aspect changed! A look of fear mingled with hate crept over her face! A third warrior had joined the group, one unexpected and unde­ sired一WahtoakaJs Indian suitor, the man whom she could not love. He had seen the two together on. the shore at twilight from far out on the lake. He had come closer, liad heard them speak together unnoticed, had seen them go off, and had followed them.

Wahtoaka said but little; her look told all; she was disappointed, she saw her hope and love blasted with the presence of him whom she now hated. Orion had swung its gigantic length across the sky; its topmost star was still hanging on the horizon; it was late and the little group disbanded. Misshawa took the newcomer to his own tent for the night, Wahtoaka followed them to her own, and the slighted lover was left to return alone; no one bade him good night.

Wahtoaka had no sooner reached her wigwam than she thought of her rejected Indian lover. She felt nothing but hate and contempt for him. A feeling that she must tell him struck her; she mist go so to-night. Without second —110—

thought, she hastened out of her tepee toward the place where she knew he must be leaving if he had not already done so. She found him on the shore ready to push his canoe into the dark water. He did not hear her, he was too much wrapt in thoughts of revenge. Wahtoaka went to him and grasped his arm; he turned to her with a start, but did not halt in his departure. She spoke to him, but he pushed his canoe from the shore and stepped into it. Once more Wahtoaka spoke; now she told him pointedly that she did not love liim and that she had come to take her last farewell. When the warrior heard these last sharp words, he arose half way in liis canoe with a savage look on his face, then reclined to his old position, bade farewell, and paddled away. Now lie was determined; if he was not to have Wahtoaka, the young chief should not have her either.

Wahtoaka went to her tepee, but she could not sleep. Her new love was constantly before her; yet on the horizon of all her dreams lurked one whom she could not clearly dis­ cern, yet a figure which she dreaded and hated. Morning found her still waking.

That day Owasse with Misshawa, Wahtoaka’s father, took to the woods for game. Wahtoaka spent the day roam­ ing as usual. Evening came and it brought her love with it. Blissful days followed. Nothing troubled the tranquil happiness of the new loversexcepting a canoe with a sole occupant that often glided on the lake at sun­ set, very near the shore. Wahtoaka knew the figure well; at the very sight of it her heart shuddered.

The days came and passed. Spring had grown to sum­ mer and the day was come when Owasse must return to his tribe. Wahtoaka grieved and yearned: grieved because her love must leave, yearned to return to his people with him, —but she could not.

It was early morning; the dawn was already streaked with the fresh rays of the rising sun. Two lithe figures, a youth and a maid, hastened down the hill to the lakeshore. There they stopped. The youth took a broad band of gold from a small leathern pouch at his side, pressed it tcy his bosom, thrust it in his hand toward heaven, then uttering words unintelligible, bound it about the brow of the maiden. He spoke to her—a promise to return in autumn when the maize was ripe, to take his love to his own tribe. He then stepped into his canoe and glided into the water. Wahtoaka watched him, and as his canoe swung around the bend in the river, the evening she had first be­ held it in the cool gray twilight came back to her. i. ^—111——

(Xttlt

Noiselessly the silvery gray canoe glided up the river and Wahtoaka ascended the hill slowly toward her wigwam.

There she seated herself before the opening to dream of her treasure love. She trod the shady spots in the forest with him as sole companion in her thoughts; she fed on memories of the past—and little did she suspect the terrible fate of her loved one.

He would come no more! 1-Ie had departed forever!

Wahtoaka’s rejected lover had carried out his deadly plan, for Owassc had not paddled five miles up the stream before the suitor's deadly arrow had plunged deep into his heart.

The demon had overheard the lovers’ talk on the preced­ ing niglit, had heard that Owasse was to leave before sun­ rise the next morning. Accordingly he had stolen up the river and concealed himself in a thicket on the river's banks to wait for his prey. It came, and lie with a malicious, satisfied smile drew his treaclierous bow and sent the deadly arrow whirring into the heart of his enemy. Owasse fell back dead; now his enemy was appeased; now he had blast­ ed Wahtoaka^ hope. When he saw that the chief lay mo­ tionless in his canoe, he took his own and paddled out to him and gazed into the rigid face of his murdered adver­ sary. No one slioukl ever know the chief’s fate. lie towed the cold l'onn of Owasse to the shore, fastened a huge stone to it, and took it in his own canoe to the middle of the stream. He was about to drop il lo ils watery grave, when his eye lighted on the chief's golden armband. It were a shame to allow that lo be lost forever,—still it might lead to liis detection! The gold proved too much for his eye, however, and before he let the body down, he slipped the band from its arm. He would not wear it, lie would keep it in secrecy. With the corpse disposed of, he returned to the shore, burned Owasse’s canoe and scattered the ashes on the stream. The current would tell no tales!

Thus Wahtoaka, ignorant of the terrible fate of her lover, lived and hoped on. Autumn was the end of all her dreams and fancies. Then lie would return to take lier to her new home. On summer evenings after the sun had set and the stars were bright above her, she would sit be­ fore her wigwam, listening to the great, tall pines whisper­ ing above her. Their whisper told her that Owasse would soon return. Wahtoaka loved to hear them. But when she saw the canoe of her hated lover outlined against the even­ ing sky, a feeling of uncanny fear shot through her heart.

Summer passed and autumn came, and Wahtoaka saw her hopes about to be fulfilled. But she hoped in vain! The -112-

I

^ 3^^ j

maize ripened, but her love did not return. Could it be that he had forgotten? No! The pines still whispered their wonted tale and Wahtoaka lived in hope.

Fall passed and second summer, Indian summer, came.

Then came tidings which killed the very embryo of hope in the heart of Wahtoaka. Two Indians from the northeast country were making their way to the westward. They crossed Missliawa’s dominions and Wahtoaka met them.

She questioned them and she learned that Owasse had left his tribe early in summer and had never returned, that Hl3 tribesmen had searched far and wide for him, but all in vain.

Wahtoaka’s joys died at that moment. Her dreams and fancies vanished; gloom possessed her heart. He was gone, had disappeared, the only man she had ever loved.一But wliere could lie be? Had the river claimed him victim?

No! He was a swimmer. Had the beasts claimed him tlieir prey? Hardly, he was a wary hunter. As Wahtoaka was pondering these things in her heart, a new thought dawned on her—the lone, rejected lover in his canoe! Could he have ended her hopes through treachery? Wahtoaka was ready to believe it. That to her was the one probability.

Evening fell oil the country and Wahtoaka sat before her wigwam as usual. All day she had nursed the treasured secret in lier heart. To-night the pines whispered differ­ ently, their swishing to Wahtoaka was now a low song of wailing, and the lapping waves Oil the shore joined in.

Evening deepened into night and the night wore on. The full moon rose out of the east to her height in the heavens and Wahtoaka still sat before her wigwam. She had an errand to-niglit and the time was come to do it.

Noiselessly she arose, fastened a dagger in lier belt and hastened to her canoe on the shore. The lake was calm. The little ripples sparkled like so many diamonds in the moonlight, as Wahtoaka’s paddle urged lier ligbt skiff on. Her destination lay straight across tlie water, to the tent of her jealous lover.

In a few minutes her strong Indian arms had brought her across to the opposite shore. A deathly stillness reigned over the moonlit land before her. Wahtoaka did not stop to pull her canoe on shore; she stepped 011 land and hurried with Indian tread toward the wigwam. The moon led the way. No one was waking in the camp and Wahtoaka pushed the leathern flap aside and entered the tent. There before her, half wrapped in the skin of a buffalo, lay her hated lover. She bent over him, drew her dagger, and —113—

1 raised her hand, ready to plunge the deadly knife,—but some­ thing caught her eye. There in one corner, shimmering in the moonlight, among other trophies, lay a band of gold.

Wahtoaka knew that band. She slipped to the side where it lay and took it up. It was Owasse’s. Now she knew that the man who lay at her mercy was the murderer of her love and hope. She stepped once more to the place where he lay, drew her dagger, and bent over him. She had plunged the dagger deep into the sleeping Indian’s heart, had not a sudden feeling come into her own. Would Owasse sanc­ tion such a killing? She felt that he would not; with the golden band on her arm and a feeling of homesick love for her dead hero in her bosom, she slipped out of the wigwam to her canoe.

The moon was still high in the heavens. Wahtoaka paddled about on the silvery waves in an attempt to for­ get, but in her heart lay an ache not even time could erase.

The dull cold winds of fall now swept through- the woods where Wahtoaka roamed no more. They had lost their beauty for lier, as had everything else. Not even the dry oak leaves shivering in the evening breeze, nor the whispering pines at sunset could entice her from her gloomy wigwam. She chose to stay there and pine. With the golden armband of Owasse about her thin, bony arm and the one he had given her before he left, about her brow, she would sit before the fire in her tepee, beneath the gloomy old pines, feasting on dim memories of the past. At last she refused to eat at all.

The clouds that first paled the earth with their flurries of snow, beheld in the wigwam of Wahtoaka a pale, wan figure, a flower faded and withered in the very bloom dt youth.

Winter came and the heart of Wahtoaka grew cold as the frozen ground. The aged Misshawa saw her soul flit to the land whither the soul of her lover had taken flight.

Under the frosty moon of winter a group of Indians gath­ ered and lowered the body of the heart-broken maiden, en­ cased in a huge strip of bark from the birch, to its cold, frozen grave. 本

To-day a few aged, old pines still stand on the hill over­ looking the lake, on the spot where once stood the wig­ wam of the maiden; and at sunset when a light breeze ripples the water’s calm surface and sets their own needles aquivering, they whisper the tale of Wahtoaka.

融， INDIAN SUMMER. Waldemar Weissgerber, ’24.

For a full hour Arthur Folsom had ben peering from tlie cover of the woods into an Indian camp. He knew him­ self well concealed, for his buckskin clothing, which was dyed green, blended with the foliage about him. Neverthe­ less, tlie long-barreled Kentucky rifle never left his hands.

Arthur knew tlie ways of the woods too well to let that happen.

Now his interest grew with every minute. The hustle and bustle among the Indians was evidence that some event of importance was soon to take place. Many squaws were carrying wood to an open place in the center of the camp, where a row of three posts was placed upright in the ground.

Children hurried from every part of the camp to the open square. To Arthur the whole situation was clear. He knew that the open square was to be the scene of grim torture and death. The three posts and the firewood were unmis­ takable signs that several hapless persons we to be tor­ tured and burned at tlie stake.

Everything was now in readiness for the burning. Arthur*s attention was suddenly attracted by a hooting and yelling at the farther end of the camp. He saw tlie three prisoners advancing with their hands bound at their backs.

In tlie rear and on each, side of them followed a crowd of shrieking and wildly gesticulating women and children, who threw sticks and spat upon their unhappy victims. As tlie crowd drew nearer, Arthur saw that the prisoners were white men, dressed like himself. Two of them were hardy pioneers and Indian fighters, men who knew the cruelty of tlie Indians. As they walked they bore their heads high, looked neither to right nor left, and lieeded not the gibes and taunts of their captors. It was not so with the third captive. His demeanor betrayed ignorance of Indian custom and character. He cast fearful glances about him, winced and shrank away at every blow. It pleased the In­ dians to deride and strike him most.

On reaching the square the prisoners were bound to the stakes. Now the men and squaws joined in a war-dance round the captives. With hideous shrieks, brandishing knives, tomahawks, and torches, the impassioned Indians circled about their unhappy victims in a weird dance.

For a long time they danced thus. Arthur, who was intently watching the actions of the Indians, suddenly heard a slight rustle behind him. But he heard it too late.

—115—

一He felt a heavy hand on his shoulder and heard a voice say, ‘Come, Art, get up. You slept long enough. It’s time for supper.” In a fright Art jumped up, rubbed his eyes, and looked about him for the wigwams of the redmen. All he saw was a large field of corn shocks that strangely re­ sembled Indian wigwams in the hazy dusk of evening.

There was a day when the men of our land knew little of knowledge and education, when their strength and energy were needed without, on the fields tilling the soil, in the woods clearing the land; when they, our ancestors, prer pared the country for us. They had but little time for school, their lot was labor; a month, and in great many cases only a few weeks was all they could spare during the year for school. Then it was a rare occurrence to find an educated man in the middle and lower class of people. How different now!

Where then the sturdy pioneer swung his heavy ax, or plodded behind his plow, there now stand buildings that seem to float the sky with their lofty towers; and within, in the hundreds of rooms sits many an educated offspring of these same rude forefathers. The times have changed!

He is the man of liis day, lie is the ideal of most of his fel­ low-men. The world to-day worships at the shrine of its idol, education; that is its all!

—117—

Autumn of 1921 is come and the schools, colleges, and universities throughout the Union have thrown open their doors; millions of children, young men, and young women are entering, ready to start on their path toward education and higher learning.

Our Alma Mater, too, has thrown wide its portals to welcome a great throng of young men and women who have determined to obtain the one and only profitable edu­ cation—an education under Christian influences. We in­ deed have much to be thankful for to God and our forefath­ ers. It was they who through His grace kept the light of true Christian faith aflame which enlightens and encour­ ages us to enter our Lutheran schools to-day.

We rejoice that Northwestern’s enrollment is greater this year than last. Many new students have taken up their studies and most of the older ones have returned to continue.

Each one is gradually settling down for a year of earnest, diligent work. The year is now only in the bud and we can expect many a trial and task to ensue. But why be troubled? We should be ready to meet all with a brave and determined mien. We all know or still must learn that success is the fruit of persistence in labor and prayer!

Let us all, therefore, put our heart and soul into our work for the year. If temptations invite and entice us to become careless and listless in our duties or which is still worse, to desert our intentions, let us take ourselves in hand, brace up, and despite all, make an attempt again and yet again to reach our goal, always remembering that success —R. only follows persistence.

EDITOR’S NOTE.—On account of the resignation of the assistant editor, Mr. Winter, a new appointment was found necessary. Frederick Knoll, ’22，has been appointed to the position.

As listed in the “Editorial Staff” of this issue, Gerhard Marquardt’s name stands opposite Athletics and Edgar Hoenecke’s，opposite College Notes. This arrangement does not apply to this issue, Marquardt having written College Notes and Hoenecke, Athletics. Beginning with the October issue there two editors will take over the departments as designated in the ‘Editorial Staff.”

WILL BUSINESS CONDITIONS EETUEN TO NORMAL ?

Business will not only be normal, but there will be an —118—

^ IrjtXl J era of prosperity; however, before this era looms the people must learn to be more economical. Why are there so many people out of work? One reason is that they are not will­ ing to work for lower wages, another that the manufacturer cannot find a ready market. In the past few years wages were abnormally high, while savings accounts were far too low for the prevalent high-wage wave, The laborer did not save his money against a rainy day, but spent it fool­ ishly and readily for many luxuries; and now that his rainy day is here lie finds great difficulty in dispensing with, these luxuries. From all sides we hear that there is a hard win­ ter ahead for the jobless, but if these people had saved dur­ ing the era of prosperity they would have sufficient to tide them over until the next spring. However, talking about what the people should have done, does not help the situ­ ation any; the next thing to do is to devise some plan to keep the jobless from starving or freezing the coining win­ ter. One plan is to make those who have retained their positions sacrifice some of their money by dividing the jobs, giving everyone a chance to work part of the time, so that all have a little. This is a good plan if the other party agrees, but wliy should lie? Those who are holding their positions are doing so, because they did not strike and kick when labor was scarce, but worked steadily. And now that wages are lower, they are also willing to work; they aro the conscientious kind of people. Probably it would be a good thing to leave the jobless suffer this winter, just to teach them to be more economical, so that when the era of prosperity again looms, they will not spend tlieir money foolishly. This, however,, is a foolisli argument, because as soon as these people have money they will again play the role of the spendthrift—a fool and Ms money are easily parted.

It is true that there are people out of work who are willing to work for low wages and who liad worked steadily through the era of high wages. The number of those, liowever, who spent their money foolishly and are wanting now, gresatly exceeds the number of tlie really unfortunate ones, and at the same time the reckless spenders are to blame for the misfortune of the unfortunate ones. We should be glad to give a helping hand to these unfortunate people who are out of work through no fault of their own, but it is hard to sympathize with those wlio would not work when they could and who would not save while they were earning.

The one great complaint of the manufacturer is that lie cannot compete with foreign markets, because lie must —119— i乂 ..

pay to high a wage scale. If our manufacturers cannot compete with foreign markets, they will be compelled to close their plants, and the laborers will be out of work. As the laborer is going to be the loser, he must be willing to work for lower wages, so that the manufacturer can find a ready market; as soon as he can do this, prosperity will F. K.,，22. again prevail.

一Rev. Prof. Karl Koehler, ’03, who is now teaching here during Prof. Westerhaus’s leave of absence, spent three months traversing Germany. At Leipzig Ue met Prof. Westerhaus, ’OS, Prof. A. Pieper, ’76, of the Lutheran Seminary at Wauwatosa, Rev. P. Pioper, ’06, and Rev. H. Koch, Ph. D., ’03. Prof. A. Pieper and his son Rev. P. Pieper attended the Allgemeine Evangelische Lutherische Conferenz at Greiz, ^Germany. Prof. Pieper investigated the relief work in Germany, especially those institutions that have been as­ sisted by us. He also obtained information as to the state of the chuvcli outside of the Siichische Freikirche, which is in fellowship with the Synodical Conference.

Prof. Pieper reported that in both phases of his investigation he found much misery, but little Lutheranism.

Prof. Westerhaus will study at Berlin and will at the same time take Rev. H. Koch’s place, while the latter is on a three months’ leave to this country. Rev. Koch was to accompany Prof. Koehler to the United States, but had con­ siderable difficulty in getting his passport. He intends to leave the early part of September and spend his leave of absence here giving lectures on the conditions in Germany and will in all probability address the student-body of N. W. C. Rev. H. Koch left for Europe in 1911 to study at Leip­ zig, where he specialized in Greek. After obtaining the de­ gree of Ph. D. at the university of Leipzig he accepted a —120—

congregation at Leipzig and at the same time was a profes­ sor at the new Freikirche Seminary, but was soon called to Berlin, where he is now in charge of a fast growing con­ gregation. 一For ten weeks of the summer vacation Dr. J. H. Ott, *85, journeyed over the Southern States. He spent the greater part of his time in Indiana, the haunts of his youth, in Kentucky and in Tennessee.

—The entire class of，21 has entered the Seminary at Wauwatosa, discrediting the rumors that some members of the class would not enroll.

—Mr. Albert Dammann, ’95, motored here from Milwau­ kee, Sept. 7th, with, his son Roland, who is a commercial student.

—Prof. Parisius, ’13, and family spent two weeks at Ann Arbor, Mich.

—Rev. Leonard Koeninger, ’13, of Raymond, S.

D., ’05, teacher of economics at the U..of Minn., visited in Watertown during August.

—>Prof.W. Huth, ’81, must have had a wonderful time at Breen Bay, Wis., this summer, since we found him more jolly than ever on our return to college.

—Rev. E. Gamm, ’14, Macintosh, S. D., visited at the home of parents here in August.

—R. Schlueter, ’21, attended summer school at the U. of Wis., and is now teaching at Bethany College, Mankato, Minn.

-Among the visitors who were seen about the College in the early part of September were Rev. John Siegler, ’91, of Johnson, Minn., Rev. J. H. Paustian,，00, of West Salem, Wis., Rev. Leonard Kirst, ’03, of Beaver Dam, Wis., and Rev. Wm. Hartwig, *13, of Kingston, Wis. Rev. Paustian brought his son with him, who has enrolled as a student of the regular course.

Note

m

On Wednesday, Sept. 7, the doors of our Alma Mater were again opened for another school year. Many new students have enrolled; so numerous were the new-comers that the music-room had again to be remodeled into a bed­ room. This will, of course, be a bit inconvenient for the musical organizations, since they will have to practice in the gymnasium which is not so convenient to rehearse in as the music room; but rather rehearse in the gym for a while, than force the new-comers to sleep in the halls.

There are at present two hundred and twenty-five stu­ dents attending Northwestern of which number eighty-one are collegiates; the remaining hundred and thirty-nine are preps.

Let us hope they all will remain until the end of the school-year.

One of the very first tilings we heard upon returning from our eleven weeks’ vacation was, that our well beloved —122—

Professor Dr. A. F. Ernst could not, for some time to come, take over tlie classes assigned to him. Only a few days before the opening of school Dr. Ernst was stricken with paralysis and has to the present time been confined to his bed.

The news of the Doctor’s illness was received with sorrow by the students, for they always enjoyed his biblical and historical lectures.

May God grant him a speedy and entire recovery!

• Rev. Prof. Henry W. Schmeling, a prominent member U of the class of 1898, has again returned to Northwestern to fill the vacancy caused by the departure of Prof. William p. Henkel to tlie Lutheran Seminary at Wauwatosa. Rev. Schmeling has been serving the Lutheran congregation at Sparta, Wis” for the past twenty years, this being his first and only pastorate while in the ministry. 氺

Prof. Karl Koehler has taken over the duties of Prof.

Gustav Westerhaus who has received a two years’ leave of absence to study history in Germany. Prof. Koehler gradu­ ated from Northwestern with the class of 1903. He finished the seminary and was called by the Lutheran congregation at Kingston, Wis. A few years later he resigned his charge there in order to go abroad. When the war broke out in 1914, however, he was forced to abandon his trip to Europe.

During the war he taught at various Lutheran institutions, including the seminaries at New Ulm, Minn., and Sagi­ naw ,Mich. Pour months ago he revived his old plan, and left for Germany, returning but a few days before the open­ ing of school. 尊翁#

Walter Bodamer, ’17, lately graduated from the semi­ nary at Wauwatosa, has taken tlie position as tutor made vacant by Paul Eickmann.

• * * * On the thirteenth of September the members of the college orchestra assembled in the chapel to elect officers for the new school-year. Walter Krenke,，22, was elected president, Hugo Schnitker, ’23，vice-president, John Mar­ tin, ’25，secretary, and Herbert Wackerfuss, librarian. ♦

Since Professor E. Wendland, under whose able direct­ orship the orchestra has risen to its present standard, has consented to direct the band, the orchestra is left without a director; but we hope that one of the other professors will soon undertake to direct this organization.

Our military company is also well under way. Capt.

Walter Voigt with the assistance of his lieutenants, Dudley Rohda and Gustav Krause, is already drilling his fifty re­ cruits four times a week. The addition of these fifty re­ cruits will bring the total membership up to about ninety.

With this number of adults, well-trained, we can expect some snappy drilling from the company.

FOOTBALL! “Sail into him!”，“Clip him low!”，“Dig”，and other encouraging phrases of their kind only go to show us clear­ ly that the same old live spirit reigns on our 1921 gridiron.

This spirit seems to dominate the ideas of some of the boys of last year’s squad to such an extent, that some of them have awaked to an unusual, praiseworthy vivacity.

“Football” is the topic of the day. Yes, football! What will come of it this year? We are almost inclined to feel uneasy when we run our finger over the line-up of last season and realize what losses we have suffered. Our vali­ ant captain of last year’s squad Tay Uetzmann, dauntless Sharp, level-headed Hillmer, zealous Holzhausen, experi­ enced quarter-back Hinnenthal, sturdy Meier, fighting Buenger, and fleet Cares—they are all heroes of the past for Northwestern. Even in our midst we have a victim of one of last year’s frays, Manie Uetzmann, recuperating and nursing a sore hip. As soon as he is able, he intends to -124-

: '-1

i

take up the arms again for N. W. C. All told we have lost practically one whole squad of fighters!

But why should we lament our losses in view of an equal gain? Isn’t Capt. Brandt again in our ranks, isn’t Palmer back on his old position, Kuckhahn, Siffring, and Gentz? And the reserves. Knoll has two wears of experi­ ence on the reserve team and one year of experience as sub­ stitute on the regular team behind him. Groth, Lehmann, Kleinke, Grunwald, Winter, Rossin, Engel, and Weissgerber are again among the aspirants for their old positions which they filled to all satisfaction on the reserve squad* last season.

Added to this is a long list of names of the new material out on our gridiron for the first season. There’s Huebner, the quarter-back from the Watertown High School who led his school to the top and over last season. There’s Kohli who held his end on the high school squad for 3 years. Other promising material is Hinnenthal, a brother of our quarter­ back of last season, Ziemer, a former II. team player, Schnitger, a sturdy man from the West, Kuske, Niemann, and others.

Loking over the losses and taking note of the gains of the season, we see that this is certainly no time to per­ mit our hopes to lag. Let us hope that the results are good and if not, let us try again! The following eight dates have been arranged as opportunities for demonstrations of our ability: Oct. 1—Beloit at Watertown.

Oct. 8一Milwaukee Normal at Milwaukee, Oct. 16一Ripon at Ripon, Oct. 22—Open Date, Oct. 29一Lawrence at Watertown, Nov. 5 Way land at Watertown (II. Team), Nov. 1 2_Car roll at Waukesha, Nov. 18—Milton at Milton.

September finds the exchange editor in a predicament.

No papers have as yet made their appearance this fall, and we are not inclined to wipe the cobwebs off one of last year’s papers and passing comment on it.

Exchanges make us interested in the welfare of other schools, because they acquaint us with the conditions and spirit existing there. A new school-year is certain to bring new developments to every school which will be of interest to students at other institutions. We hope to be favored with all of last year’s exchanges and perhaps to add a few new papers to our list.

We remembered that the “Augustana Observer，” Augustana College, Rock Island, 111., had decided to change from the monthly to the weekly form this September. Just as we were about to go to press the first number of the new weekly arrived. The Observer is a neat four-page paper.

News and college spirit are well represented. In a weekly publication news is much more prominent than in the monthly, while on the other hand the heavier articles must be eliminated. We see no reason whatsoever why tfie tal­ ent and spirit that made the old Observer a success can not be turned into these new channels and also make the weeklypaper a success. In making the change Augustana has fal­ len in line with many other schools that want to give their readers the news while it is still news. We confidently await the development of the Observer into a bigger and better paper.

—Once again Northwestern’s halls echo with the happy voices of the returning students, eager to go at their studies with new vim and enthusiastic for everything Northwest­ ern. The complete enrollment this fall totals two hundred and twenty-five. Forty-eight new students received rooms in the dormitory. The following new students entered the collegiate department: Gerhard Schuetze, a former student who discontinued his studies for a year, entered the junior class; Karl Diez, Albert Eggert, Linwood Goetz, Waldemar Rupp, John Wahl, and Winfred Westendorf joined the ranks of the sophomores. The new freshmen are Kenneth Archie, Alfons Engel, Fred Huebner, Alvin Raduenz, and Victor Zi egler.

—Several seminary students stopped off liere on their way to Wauwatosa. Alex Hillmer, Immanuel Boettcher, Theophil Voges, and John Hermann were seen at Northwestern.

Bingo and Cares came back to Northwestern to have their trousers creased.

—Puhlbrigge has, as usual, not yet made his appearance.

Come on, Seksliie, someone’s waiting for you. 一We heard that Mutt Reimann, who graduated from the commercial department last year, intends to come back this year, but he has not returned yet. Every time Mutt thinks of studying he decides to stay home another week. 一*Several former students of Northwestern will continue their studies at other schools. Tubby Karsten, who was seen Oil the college premises, will study at Milwaukee Normal.

Happy Klein has enrolled in the School of Engineering in Milwaukee. Lester Sonn will not return to Northwestern.

Hereafter Lester will blow assembly at the Doctor Martin Luther College in New Ulm, Minn. 一The “Black and Red” will be popular this year, because —127—

many new preps have voiced their intentions of subscrib­ ing to the “Red and Black.”

—On September 11th, George Rosenhauer and Hubert Sieker, preps, were hosts to their sisters and several friends from Burlington, Wis. The young people made the trip per automobile.

—Gus Krause, ’22，entertained Miss Koepsell, with wkom he worked at the cannery last summer, on Sunday, Sept. 11.

Miss Koepsell promised Gus another visit in the near future. _Dudley Rohda, ’22，took Xrenke, ’22，with him to his home in Coonie on September 10th. It’s up to Dud to bring Wallie back again too.

—Bud Knoll, ’22，was in Milwaukee September 10th and 11th. Bud put through a big deal there.

—Any attacks of homesickness that might liave come over Harold Hess, prep, were dispelled by the appearance of his father, three sisters, and a brotlier-in-law from Allenton, Wisconsin, on Sept. 11th.

—Art Gentz, *22, went to his home in Juneau, Wisconsin, September 10th, for something to eat. ―Speck Palmer, ’22，made use of all the speed he has in returning to college, and then he barely arrived in time to get his schedule for the year.

—On Sunday, Sept. 11th, Mike I-Iinnenthal paid his bro­ ther Hugo and his many friends at Northwestern a short visit Mike is teaching school at Town Herman, Wisconsin. 一Monnie Uetzmann, ’22，was the guest of his brother Tay at the seminary in Wauwatosa on September 10th. 一September 10th, Waldemar Giesclien, prep, was a visitor in Coonie. In Oconomowoc he also met his mother.

—We heard from a reliable source that on Sunday, Sept.

11th, Hermie Kuckhahn, ’22, went west.

(tto-Ei Kilim The morning of September 7th found a large number of girls assembled in the girls’ room. Never before was the room so well filled. Only nineteen of the thirty-three of last year returned, but we counted at least twenty new­ comers. Most of the new students live in this city, but there are also representatives of Columbus, Oconomowoc, and Lebanon.

—On coming to the girls’ room Wednesday morning, Sept —12S—

7tli, one of the co-eds made a startling discovery. “Look, look,” she cried. “Why, what’s the matter?” we all asked.

Then we looked where she was pointing, and saw it一an electric light! Two days later we already had occasion to use it, to our great delight.

THE CITIZENS5 MILITARY TRAINING CAMP. Donald F. Rossin, ’22.

This summer the first Citizens’ Military Training Camps were held throughout the United States in each of the nine corps areas. These camps were authorized by the Act of Congress of June 4, 1920, which set forth a plan for a new army consisting of three separate yet coherent parts: The Regular Army, the National Guard, and the Organized Re­ serves. It was to train men for the third part, the Organ­ ized Reserves, that these camps were established. The camps were planned on the famous “Plattsburg” idea. Vol­ unteers from civilian life were to be given a short period of drill during the summer to prepare them for a possible future emergency.

Three distinct courses of training were planned: the “Red” or elementary course, qualifying for privates; the “White” or more advanced course, qualifying for non-com­ missioned officers; and finally the “Blue” course, qualify­ ing for commissioned officers in the Organized Reserves.

Each course was to occupy about one months training dur­ ing the summer. Thus the graduates of the “Red” course could take the “White” course the following summer. An—131—

other summer spent in taking the “Blue” course would then qualify the graduates for a commission in tlie Organized Reserves. But since Congress did not appropriate enough money to carry out tlie entire program, only tlie “Red” course could be offered this year.

The government fitted out one or more training camps in each of the corps areas, and invited young men between the ages of sixteen and thirty-five years to spend about thirty days of the summer out of doors under the direction of tlie war department, preparing themselves as defenders of their country. The response to this call showed very clearly what our young manhood tliinks of the benefits of military training.

Over 40,000 young men volun­ teered to attend the camps. Almost three fourths had to be rejected because tliere was room for only about 11,000. Age, physique, occupation, and place of residence were consid­ ered in. making the selection. The government desired to get physically fit men from all walks of life and, if possible, to select them on a population basis, so that all sections of the country would be represented.

The men accepted were called “candidates” because they were in reality aspirants or candidates for positions as non-commissioned and commissioned officers in the Or­ ganized Reserves.

The government selected Camp 丨Grant, 111., as the train­ ing camp for the sixth corps area, which embraces Michi­ gan, Wisconsin, and Illinois. Over 4,000 applications were made to this camp but only 1209 could be accepted.

It was a varied lot of young men that arrived at Camp Grant on July 21, 1921. There were students, farmers, clerks, laborers, and men from every other walk of life, The majority were young men about eighteen to twentyyears of age. Very few had liad any military training what­ soever.

A part of the huge war-time camp had been prepared for the new “rookies.” The sight of the weather-beaten barracks so familiar to their older brothers could not but inspire the hearts of the new arrivals with some of tlie zeal that prevailed there during the war. The officers also made a favorable impression. Each and every one of them was a man and a gentleman.

Soon the candidates were dressed in khaki and were in the process of becoming soldiers.

cises, mess, a drill period, and occasionally a lecture on some military subject occupied the forenoon. Six hours of active life in the fresh morning air is enough to give anyone an Cliow” was the most appetite if not a craving for food, popular of all formations. Plenty of plain and well-pre­ pared food was served. For healthful, muscle-building qualities the meals could not have been improved upon. The afternoon’s work was not quite so strenuous. An liour was devoted to mass-athletics, such as push-ball and tug-of-war; and to athletic games. There was also a drill period, very often a demonstration or parade, and always a lecture.

It is obvious that one month is much too short a tinie to acquire a practical knowledge of all the varied bran ches of a modern fighting machine. Outfits of “regulars” gave demonstrations in the use of machine-guns, trench-mortars, auto-rifles, hand-grenades, light artillery, tanks, and in pon­ toon-bridge building; finally a colossal sham-battle was ar­ ranged in whicli nearly all the above arms and also aero­ planes were used. These demonstrations brought home as nothing else could the duties of the different arms of the service ancl the necessity for team-work to gain success.

The lectures also deserve a special paragraph. Every day the entire body of candidates heard one or more well prepared speeches. Officers of the regular army including John J. Pershing ancl also many prominent citizens ad­ dressed the candidates on citizenship, patriotism, history, ancl modern-warfare. Chaplains, Y. M. C. A., and Red Cross men inspired the men with the desire of keeping themselves morally clean and becoming men of character. Experienced army physicians gave practical advice on personal hygiene, first aid, care of the feet, and also some sound facts on sex. The impressions made by these lectures will live on wherever the candidates may go.

The athletic games, demonstrations, and speeches served •to counteract the comparatively monotonous drill periods.

The day’s schedule was heavy but at the same time well balanced and interesting.

Retreat at 5:45 ended the day’s work.

Except on special occasions the time after supper, on Saturday afternoons and Sundays was at the candidate’s own disposal. This was a fine time to clean up one’s equipment and get everything in readiness for the next day’s work.

The folks at home also wanted to be remembered with a let­ ter now and then. Rockford, a pretty town about five miles from camp, invited the candidates to enjoy its parks, tlie—133—

atres, and river-outing facilities. The majority, however, preferred to remain in camp and take part in baseball, football, and other sports. The camp library and several service clubs, where one might very profitably spend a quiet hour in reading or writing, and the camp theatre, the “;Liberty,” were open to the candidates.

On several evenings the entire Citizens* Military Train­ ing Camp regiment marched eli masse to the theatre to see the different stages in the training of a soldier shown on the screen. In connection with these more or less “dry” pictures the official views of the Thirty-second division in France were shown.

Before retiring almost everyone took a refreshing shower-bath. Tattoo sounded at 9:00 and taps at 11:00 p. m. A good night，s rest made for vim and vigor for the next day’s work.

By the end of the second week the candidates were fairly proficient in infantry drill and had mastered the fun­ damentals of rifle-marksmanship.

The schedule for the third week called for a nine mile hike under full equipment, and a four days’ camp on the rifle-Tange with target practice from the different firing positions. On the range the men were divided into three sections. One section manned the targets in the rifle-pits, while another did the actual shooting. The remaining sec­ tion was detailed to clean up about camp and to do other fatigue duty. Every half day the sections interclianged positions. It was hot everywhere, but hottest in the riflepits. Anyone who has ever been in a rifle-pit knows that there is absolutely no possibility for a refreshing breeze to find its way in. Telephone communication was established between the “firing line” and the pits. “Wake up and mark ninety-four !’’ or “Remark nmety-seven” from the operator made the ssweating men in the pits forget their tiredness and “snap out of their dope.” Throughout the four long days the firing and work in the pits continued.

During the stay on the range the meals were served from field-kitchens. Eating from mess-kits was something out of the ordinary, but since the food served was good, no one had any occasion to complain. The candidates also had an opportunity to try their hand, or better their luck, at individual camp-cooking. The men were paired off and, after raw bacon, potatoes, coffee beans, sugar, and bread liad been issued, were instructed to build a fire and prepare their evening meal. You were in “luck” if you did not burn

I㊈n your bacon or upset your coffee—and ‘‘hard luck,, if you did.

Some succeeded very well as cooks,—others had a very good appetite for breakfast.

The entire 1200 men had their pup-tents pitched in one camp. Mother earth is considerably harder than a soft spring bed; but after a tiring day’s work, one could sleep anywhere, even on the hard ground. The time on the range could not have been more busily or more profitably applied.

It was a tired but happy lot of men that on the morn­ ing of the fifth day marched back to barracks and to a real bath, real meals, and a real bed. No one who was there will ever forget those four days spent on the range.

The fourth and last week at camp was spent chiefly in parades, reviews, road work, and competitions between com­ panies, platoons, squads, and individuals.

One day of the last week deserves special mention: Tuesday, August the sixteenth, Governors’ Day. The gover­ nors of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois had been invited to visit the camp and address the candidates.

A regular field day with dashes, long distance runs, jumping, pole-vaulting, shot-putting, javelin throwing, and company competitions in various games was arranged.

Those who excelled in the separate events received useful presents. On the same occasion the winners of tlie several drill competitions were awarded their prizes.

When August the twentieth came, 1209 young men were glad to get home, but at the same time regretted that there were not two more weeks of camp life to enjoy and benefit by. The associations and friends made, the pleasures en­ joyed, and hardships endured will always be remembered by those who attended. Everyone went home conscious that he was a better citizen and also a better man physically and mentally for having attended the camp. Many of the can­ didates will renew old acquaintances by taking the “White” course next summer.

The Citizens’ Military Training Camps mark a new era in our national defence. History shows that a determined enemy can seldom be defeated unless a vast citizen army is called in to decide the issue. It was so in the Revolutionary, Civil, Spanish-American, and Europeans wars. In each of these wars we had time to train our citizen army after war had actually been declared. Who knows whether this will be the case in the next war? It takes men, men, men; not only men, but trained men to carry on a successful war.

By giving those who are willing to prepare themselves for their country’s service an opportunity to do so, the Citizens' ~135—

Military Training Camps will train a sufficient number of men without inconveniencing those who have not the time or do not wish to take the training.

Although attendance at the camps carries no future service obligation, graduates of the camps will be encouraged to join the Organized Reserves that they may be organized on paper and be available on a moment’s notice. Organ­ ized or not organized, these partially trained men will build up a third line of defence behind the Regular Army and the National Guard that can be called upon to defend our coun­ try m a national emergency.

EEST YERLORENEB SOHN. Eine Novelle von Edgar Hoenecke, ’23.

“Mutterle, mich wundert, dass unser Fritz lieut Abend so still ist. Letztes Mai hat er doch am Abend vor der Jagd so gelarmt, dass Vater ihm Rulie gebieten musste. Und heut Abend kommt der Rudi, und die beiden wollen docli die Gemsjagd morgen noch besprechen. Nun sitzt er da, als ob er eben vom Himmel gefallen ware.** Mariennele sitzt und strickt, sie hat scheinfs garnicht bemerkt, dass Fritz so ruhig auf der Herdbank sitzt. Als Else sie jetzt darauf aufmerksam macht, geht sie gescliwind hmiiber zum Sohne, der da trotzig sitzt und griibelt. Sie legt ihm die zarte, schon tiefgefurchte Hand auf die riesige Schulter, streicht ihm die wallenden blonden Locken und fragt ihm: ‘Tritzchen, sag mir’s. Was ist denn mit dir los?

Hast du einen Streit gehabt?”

“Ach, nein, Mutterle, es ist nichts, ich fiihle mich niclit ganz wohl, hab mir heut in der heissen Sonne Kopfweh geholt;’’

“Fritz, das ist es ja doch. nicht. Mein grosser Bub wiirde doch nicht wegen einem Bischen Kopfweh den Kopf so hangen lassen? Und morgen ist ja Gemsjagd. Hast wolil ganz und gar yergessen, dass unser Rudi noch heut Abend kommt?

Mariannele kennt den lieben Fritz selir wohl. Wenn gitz bedruckt ist, dann ist gewiss etwas nicht in Ordnung.

Weng ihm nur nicht etwas Sdilimmes zugestossen ist!

妙这】 “Danke, es geht ihm sehr gut. -Er lasst Ihnen sagen, dass der Muhldamm an einer Stelle schon zu morsh und miirbe ist, um die wilden Bergstrome auszuhalten.”

“Schon gut! Ich werd’s nachsehen.” Ohne noch ein Wort zu sagen, dreht sich der gestrenge Fichtholz im Stuhle wieder zum Tisch herum und liest ruhig in seiner lieben Bibel weiter. Der Jagdplan fiir morgen wird schnell erFritz geht, auf den Vorwand hin, dass er Kopfweh ledi： Bett. Rudi unterhalt sich noch ein Weilchen mit hat, den Frauen und dann macht er sich auf den Heimweg. Wie gewohnlich begleitet ihn Else ans Tor. Befriedigt lachelnd sieht die treue Mutter dem Paare nach, wie sie im schleierhaften Mondlicht den Bergpfad unbesorgt hinaufspringen.

Es erinnert sie an vergangene Tage, als Fichtholz noch jung, lebensfroh und leichtsinnig war. Aber die Gegenwart ist ihr plotzlich wieder im Sinn. Was ist mit ihrem Fritz?

Schlaf, den siissen, starkenden Schlaf, kennt die besorgte Mutter die Nacht nicht.

Mude und besorgt bereitet sie Pritzens Rucksack vor, steckt ihm leckere Bissen zu, und als die rechte Zeit kommt, weckt sie ihn.

Er scheint frohlicher, hoffnungsvoller zu sein als gestern. Darum schwindet der grosste Teil der Muttersorge, und sie ergiitzt sich an der festen, stattlichen Gestalt ihres einzisen Sohnes.

Das Horn wird in die frisphe Morgendammerung geblasen und nach und nach von jeder Richtung kommen die lustigen Jager. Fritz fiihrt den Zug und mit Pfeifen und Jubeln jagt die wilde Gesellshaft in die Berge. Beim Petershiigel holt man Rudi ab und weiter, hoher und hoher gehfs dem Schnee und Eis entgegen. Beim Pilatusbrocken halt der Zug, ehe er den Augen des Dorfes entschwindet.

Fritz und Rudi winken der Else noch frolilich zu und dann einer nach dem andern verlieren sie hinter dem Brocken den Blick aufs Dorf.

Der Tag vergeht. Mit lautem, triumphierenden Gejodel und Gesang rast die wilde Jagerbande auf windschnellen Skis dem Tale zu. Wie riesige Schaumwellen walzen sich die Nebel des schweren Erdrauchs iiber das stille Tal. Bei Pichtholzens wird man um Fritz gefragt. Niemand weiss, wo er sein mag. Einer meint endlich er sei mit Rudi nach Hause gegangen.

Das ist nichts Neues. Fritz kommt gewohnlich nicht gleich nach der Jagd nach Hause. Darum wartet man auch unbesorgt bis zum nachsten Abend. Als er sich dann noch nicht zeigt, wird Fichtholz sturmisch: “Da ist der tolle Kerl schon wieder nicht da. Viel Hilfe hab ich allerdings nicht —137—

yon dem Burschen. Muss man noch in seinen alten Tagen das Vieh besorgen, und der einzige, starke Sohn bummelt in den Bergen umher. Das muss aber bald aufhoren! Der doch auch im Schweisse meines Angesichts mein' Brot verdient! Der geM mir, sobald er wieder liier ist, mal tuchtig an die Arbeit und verdiente sich mal selbst das tagliche Brot!”

Marianele nimmt den Liebling in Schutz. “Fichtholz/* sagt sie ihm, “lass，den Jungen doch sein. Wild und gerade so abenteuerlich warst du auch selbst in deiner Jugend. Der wird sich bald genug niederlassen. Mit der Zeit wird er noch. gerade so brav wie du jetzt auch bist. Er muss sich. nur ’mal ordentlich. austoben.”

Obwohl Else ihm auch noch beisteht mit der Ausrede, “Vater, du weisst ja doch auch, dass Fritz ofters schon spat heimgekommen ist. Uebel wird er’s doch niclit meinen. Bis ’ morgen wird er wohl wieder hier sein.” Dennoch ltann der gestrenge Alte es sich niclit ausreden lassen. Immer wie­ der halt er ihnen vor: “Fritz hatte sich beizeiten heimscheren sollen! Damit Punktum!”

Sogar der nachste Tag lasst nichts vom Fritz lioren Oder sehen. Weil Mariannele schon so besorgt ist, wird der Knecht zur Hiitte des alten Peter gesandt, um sicli zu erkundigen, warum Fritz denn eigentlich niclit schon heimgekehrt ist. Der Knecht kommt sehr bald wieder zurlick, aber ohne Fritz und ohne viel Nachriclit vom Fritz. Rudi hatte noch mit ihm gesprochen am Scheidewege und er daclite Fritz sei nach Hause gegangen. Der Knecht erzahlt ferner, dass Rudi schon in den Bergen herumsuche nacli irgendeiner Spur von Fritzens Scliicksal. Die dorfische Rettungsmannschaft wird vom Fichtholz sogleich auf die Suche geschickt, um doch endlich gewisse Nachriclit vom Fritz zu erfahren.

Jetzt kommt sogar dem stoischen Alten die Sorge um den Sohn.

Ohne seinen Zweck erreicht zu haben, kehrt die Mannschaft zuruck. Der Vater ist wie galahmt vor Schmerz. Ihm ist eins klar. Fritz ist gewiss in den pletschern verungliickt. Keinen Laut bringt man mehr aus dem Alten. In sich gekehrt sitzt er den ganzen Tag vor der Tur mit der Bibel auf dem Schoss. In den Psalmen sucht er Trost. Eine Woche wartet man noch, dann veranstaltet der Fichtholz eine traurige Leichenfeier fur den verungliickten Sohn. Das gauze Dorf ist in Tranen iiber d^n Verlust seines besten.

Schiitzen und,freudigsten, schonsten Burschen.

Aber kaum hat man sich von dem Sclirecken erholt, —138—

alles ist noch in stummer Trauer, da, da kommt auf einmal ein Brief von Fritz an die Else一aus Amerika!

Fritz ist also garnicht tot? In Amerika ist er! Da gibtrs aber Nachriclit. Kaum konnen Elses zitternde Hande den Brief offnen. Dann wird gelesen, von Zeile zu Zeile wird der Freudensbrief verschlungen. Laut vorlesen soil sie ihn!

Mit dankbaren Blick gen Himmel gerichtet, wartet die schwergepriifle Mutter auf die Nachricht des Sohnes. Kaum fangt Else an vorzulesen, da steht der alte Fichtholz auf, klopft mit der knochigen Faust auf den Tisch and schrei: “Else, sei still! Du liesst mil* den Brief nicht vor! Und von dem Lumpen will ich auch niclits mehr horen! Solch unverscMmte Undankbarkeit! Der kann und soil mir verschollen bleiben auf immer! Und das ihr mich nicht an den unniitzen Liimmel schreibt! Mein Sohn heisst er jedenfalls nicht mehr! Darauf macht euch nur gefasst!”

Das war wie bittere Galle auf die Freude beim Empfang des Briefes. Still schluchzt die Mutter an der Tochter Else ist die Hoffnung auf ein Wiedersehen verBrust. schwunden. Marian nele uberwindet die erste Enttiiuschung, und ihr Mutterlierz findet bald Trost, auf irgendeinem Wege den grollenden Vater umzustimmen. Nach einigen Tagen scheint es ihr aber gar vergeblich. Der Vater ist und bleibt einfach knurrig.

Da, eines Morgens kommt Fichtholz nach seiner Arbeit ganz wehmiitig gestimmt und bedriickt in die Kueche zur Mariannele. Sie weiss, dass er ihr etwas Trauriges zu erzahlen hat, darum liisst sie ihn ruhig sitzen. Nach einiger Fichtholz, was ist dir denn eigentZeit, fragt sie endlich: lich? Warum bist du so traurig?”

Aber Fichtholz will nicht aTsbald mit der Sprache herAch, Maaus. Endlich kann er sich nicht mehr halten: riannele seufzt er, “heut Morgen ist mir die beste Milchkuh im Stalle gestorben'! Eine Kuh, wie die Bunte Liese eine war, kann ich mir auch um keinen Preiss wiederkaufen.

Dass es auch gerade die Lieblingskuh sein musste!”

Da, endlich war flir Mariannele die rechte Stunde geschlagen. Jetzt nur die Geschichte richtig angefangen und, wenn. sie sich nicht sehr in ihrem teuren Fichtholz tauscht, kann sie ihn. wenn jemals, jetzt zur Milde umstimmen.

“Fichtholz,” redet sie ihn an, “sell註mst du dich iiberhaupt garnicht mehr? Da steckt dein einziger Sohn m einem wildfremden Lande in Gefahr zu Grunde zu gehen, und hier stelist du und machst solch. unnotiges Getue iiber eine dumme Kuh! Vergib deinem Solme docli die Scliuld —139—

und lass Else den Brief yorlesen. Schaden wird dir’s freilich nicht!”

“Na ja,” murmelt der Alte in den Bart, setzt sicli aber wie eine alte knorrige Biche in seinen Lehnstulil und verzielit keine Miene.

Else verliert keine Zeit und liesst mit riihrender Stimme dem stolzen Vater den Brief vor. Sie liesst: Liebe Schwester:— Bin also in Amerika, schon seit mehreren Monaten.

Hab dies Land schon satt! Vielleicht sind es aber am meisten die Zustande, in denen ich hier lebe. Die Leute, mit denen man in Beruhrung kommt, sind reclit hoflich, hoflicher als wie zu Hause, hier gibfs keinen Klassenunterscliied und selbst ist der Mann!

Will dir auch kurz erzahlen, wie es mir ergangen ist.

Als ich in New York ankam, zahlte mein Geld nur wenig mehr als sieben Mark. An die Arbeit musste ich. Und dank meines yielen Jagens und Kletterns in den Bergen konnte ich die schwere Arbeit gut verrichten. Am Hafen wurde ich beim Aus- und Einladen angestellt. Durch meine Mitarbeiter verlockt, geriet ich bald auf die Bummel.

Vom Osten zum Westen, Norden zum Siiden, kreuz und quer ubers Land fuhr ich als blinder Passagier auf der Eisenbahn. Neulich fuhr ich und funfzehn Meinesgleichen wieder auf so einem Schnellzuge nacli Chicago, wir kamen eben von Oma­ ha. Kaum waren wir aber an den ersten Dorfern bei Omaha yorbei, muss uns ein lumpiger Wachter gesehen liaben. Bei der nachsten Station wurden. wir so vom Zuge geworfen, dass ich mit Wucht den Bahndamin liinabkollerte.

Als ich wieder recht zur Besinnung kam, bemerkte ich, dass ich gegen etwas sehr weiches gerollt war. Sehr bald bemerkte ich, dass es ein menschlicher Korper war, der augenscheinlicli sclion gestorben Oder sonst im Sterben war.

Mit Abscheu wandte ich micli weg, aber eine unheimliche Macht zog mich zuriick. Da sah ich, dass der Men sell nocli lebte. Mit meinem wenigen Gelde hab ich ihn im Hospital unterstiitzt.

Da kam mir der iGedanke: ‘Fritz,’ dachte ich, ‘wenii du nicht bald umkehrst, wirst du aucli einrnal so verlumpt und verschunden aussehen an Leib unf Seele!’

Sobald Jack sichso weit erliolt hatte, dass icli mit ilim reisen konnte, er erlag namlicli einem Anfall von Malariafieber, nahm ich ihn nach Milwaukee. Hier arbeiten wir nun beide in einer Gerberei.

Ich. sehne mich nach der Heimat! Ware ich doch nicht so toricht gewesen, ein solch. gluckliclies Heim zu veracliten!

—140—

Grusse die Eltern freundlichst von mir. Auch Rudi.

Dich aber griisst besonders Dein treuer Bruder Fritz.

Die starre Eiche im Stuhl kann diesen Sturm nicht ertragen. Sobald als Else mit dem Lesen fertig ist, sagt der Vater: “Geh, Else, schreib ihm, er soil heimkommen, und Schick ihm auch das notige Geld.”

Da ist die Freude wider obenan. In wenigen Wochen 1st alles wieder beim Alten, nur eins liat sicli verandert.

Else wohnt nicht mehr bei den Eltern. Oben in des alten Peters Hutte nimmt sie den Platz ein, den Rudis Mutter durch ihren Tod vor etlichen Jahren offen machte. Fritz ist wie neugeboren. Tagtaglich sieht man ihn hinter dem Pflug Oder bei sonstiger Beschaftigung. Der verlorene Sohn war wieder in des Vaters Armen!

LAI50K AND CAPITAL. Gustav Krause, ’22.

Many volumes of books have been written on the sub­ ject of labor and capital, but still no one seems to have found a happy solution. A certain element among the la­ boring class lias advanced the argument that labor creates all and therefore is entitled to all, that the surplus value above the bare cost of the material that goes into the articles should be turned over to the hand laborers who made them, and that the whole world should be run solely for the bene­ fit of the laboring class.

We know, however, that no article on the market is entirely the product of labor. There are millions of articles used throughout the world that are but partially created by labor. Everyone concedes that labor enters into the mak­ ing of every thing worth while; into some things on a large scale, into others on a very small scale. Labor, however, is not the sole producer of value.

Capital in some form is an important requisite of every product. But capital, we are told, is only labor stored up.

If capital is only labor stored up, then there was not any­ thing but labor in the first place. This is a foolish argu­ ment. The purpose of labor is to change something, to effect a result upon something. We are told that the raw material that labor works upon really belongs to labor, and, as it belongs to labor, anything that labor does to it is labor’s own product and thus belongs to it. Yet, how could it be一141—

long to labor? Labor did not produce it and therefor can­ not claim that which it did not produce. Labor was as plen­ tiful centuries ago in proportion to the population and tlie development of industry as it is today. But the trees of a hundred years ago which could have furnished wood-pulp for paper were burned because no one knew of a process for making paper from pulp.

It was ability and capital that helped labor blaze the way to modem industry. Ability is the genius that explores, invents, devises, and plans for the future. Who will argue that a man of ability is,not entitled to as great if not a greater reward than the ]man who merely listens to him and does what the brain-worker says?

But what is that something we call capital, which has so bad a name that men dislike to be called capitalists even though they be honorable men? The most common form of it is that which represents sayings. Saving is merely holding on to the money or profit you have rightly earned. You do not spend it recklessly as others do; you prefer to pinch and skimp; get along without fancy things to eat or wear; wear cotton when others burn their money up for silks; work while others play. These savings are all yours; made at your own. sacrifice. It costs others nothing. Should you not, therefore, be fully entitled to invest your savings to build up an industry, or turn the investment into a business of your own and receive profits on it? Can an industry hope for success without sufficient capital? Was it not ability plus capital that gave America its steel and iron industries, its woolen-mills? Labor should not expect to be paid at a premium when it lacks ability.

About a century ago an Irish lad came to America from the linen mills of Ireland. He started a linen, shop in the city of New York that grew to be the most successful drygoods house of its day. He saved liis earnings; used his brain; drew to his organization a staff of Irish, employees that established his reputation and liis fortune. History records his name as Alexander Turney Stewart.

Immediately after his death his executor, Henry Hil­ ton, took charge of the big store. The capital was all there; all the labor stayed with it. Stewart’s splendid name still clung to it, and things seemed to go on as before. A few years passed; the capital was growing weaker, the employees were leaving, the store itself was on the verge of bankruptcy. John Wanamaker now bought the Stewart store, strengthened its capital, and again hired the former clerks. He began exactly where Hilton had begun several —142—

years previously—with the same amount of capital and the same roll of clerks. Very soon the great Stewart store turned from failure to a new success. Why? Was not the capital the same as it had been under Hilton? Yes. And the labor? Yes. And the ability? No. Success was pro­ duced only at the time when the ability of Stewart and Wanamaker was applied.

It is ability that has made America what it is; this ability, however, is not found as readily as it was a century ago. We Americans have forgotten how to save. May these trying times serve as a lesson. We owe an inexpress­ ible debt of gratitude to the millions of toiling men and women of tlie former clays for their careful saving and thrift. It was because they did without things they might have had, that we have the things we otherwise should be without. Even the brains of Watt, Fulton, Morse, Bell, Howe, Edison, and the hosts of other inventors would have accomplished nothing at all for us, if it had not been for the millions of money and property stored up for use in in­ dustry by the prudent and saving people of the past.

There is and always will be a conflict of interest be­ tween employees and employers at some points. It is en­ tirely right that each should strive for its true rights. The desire of labor to better labor conditions is legitimate. But that either should seek to conquer the other is wrong and the height of folly for both. Only through reason and com­ mon sense, by pulling with and not apart from all the rest, P. can labor hope to win its cause.

©ttortalB TO-DAY^ EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM INEFFICIENT? ―But a few months ago Thomas Edison awakened the world, as it seemed, to a very lamentable fact. The entire country was highly excited; the daily papers printed long lists of questions addressed to college and university stu­ dents of the country, and then brought reports of the in­ ability of these men to answer them. It was surprising how little the average college-man knew and it seemed, therefore, that our educational system was very inadequate. 一Now that the storm of high, excitement has subsided, one has the opportunity to consider the question in a normal state of mind, whether or not Edison proved the inefficiency of to-day’s educational system.

We hardly believe lie did. Quite naturally the object of attending any school is to gain knowledge; and if one lias attended school for ten, twelve, or fifteen years, itt may also quite naturally be expected of him that lie be acqu；ainted —144—

with the elementary facts and principles in such branches as geography, mathematics, history, and science, all of which belong to a general education. But that he learn and digest everything he studies, is clearly out of the question.

It is true that the lists given by the inventor did not con­ tain any very deep or philosophical questions, yet because of the inability of the college-men to answer some of the more difficult elementary questions in practical science, questions which they should have been able to answer, he created the impression among the more moderately educated that a course at most of the colleges in the country is no more than a happy waste of time.

This is, to our estimation,a wrong impression. In the end, what is the main object and end of education? Is it merely a cramming of dates, bare facts, and other data?

Decidedly not. The real aim of education is to broaden one’s scope of ideas, to impress as many new objects and truths on one’s mind as possible, so that when he has finished his educational training, he has broadened his mind, has cultivated his powers of comprehension and conception, so that he is enabled to pass correct judgment on any happen­ ing or event, and is able also to arrive at correct conclu­ sions, and to form unprejudiced opinions. A person has • the opportunity to learn these three things during his col­ lege years, and if he does so, he then has laid a good foun­ dation for his education even though he has forgotten a host of minor unimportant facts.

It may be true that many a college student or graduate should know more than he actually does—but in a great many cases he really knows more than he is aware of. Dur­ ing his four years at school lie reads many things and learns many more facts than he is able to have constantly at his fingers’ ends. He reads many things in literature and his­ tory and then forgets them for the time being; lie learns innumerable facts in science and mathematics, but because he lacks the opportunity of practical application he forgets them too, temporarily. He may think he has forgotten them entirely, but he has not. They have made an im­ pression on his mind and when he goes out into practical life and comes in contact with educated people, these things return to him and he is not unpractical after all. His col­ lege course has proved of some benefit to him. He has a good store of knowledge that he had almost forgotten, all stored away in the ideas, pictures and impressions he drove into his mind at school.

—145—

So even though a man like Edison seems to have brand­ ed the mark of inefficiency on the educational system, of our country and seems to have shaken the walls of tlie seats of learning, this impression is wrong and lie has not even, budged the deep laid foundations of sound education.

LUTHER THE GREATEST MAN OF ALL TIMES, Mighty kings and rulers, famous generals and conquerors, engenious statesmen, and diplomats, brilliant orators and poets, deep thinkers and scientists, learned scliolars and theologues, talented artists and musicians, worldrenowned inventors and discoverers, in short, great men, truly great men, who with their high intellectuality and wonderful achievements have brought about change and transformation, wlio have gained the respect and admira­ tion of the whole world, wlio have, particularly, through their creation of great governments, through precious liter­ ature, through beautiful buildings, through enchanting mu­ sical compositions, through useful inventions, conferred up­ on all nations untold benefits一such truly great men the world has produced during the last centuries. But of these none can, despite all their greatness, compare with Martin Luther, the great Reformer. What would Europe, what would America, what would the whole world be to-day, if Luther had never lived? Vassal states of the papacy, slave states of Rome! And in the fullest sense the words of Scrip­ ture would still apply: “Darkness shall cover the world and gross darkness the people!” What, then, did Luther do for the world? What made him such a great man, yes, the greatest man since the days of the Apostles. Not only the Protestant churches in the whole world celebrate his birthday next month and praise God that he sent this pioneer into the world, but also all atheists and unbelievers, who are acquainted with the history of the papacy and our mod­ ern times, must admire and revere him. For Luther is the great reformer, who broke the power of Rome, thereby achieving more than Arminius in the Teutoburg forest, He is the hero of liberty, the deliverer of the world, who gave all nations a new foundation of government and restored to all people their liberties. He is the exemplary man of the people, the rejuvenator of the wholesome customs of his fellow-men and the founder of the German language.

He is the founder of the Christian home, the ideal husband, :■

—146—

the true lover of children, a friend of the poor and needy, the widows and orphans, a comforter and adviser of both rich and poor. He is the scholar and promoter of all arts and learning, a friend of nature, a man of high intellectual powers and untiring diligence. But not even all of this gives us a clear impression of Luther’s greatness, nor does it describe the enormous work for the fulfillment of which God called Luther. The Reformation brings with it a far more precious treasure: Luther’s translation of the Bible.

Through this enormous task Luther restored to Christianity the pure and simple word of God and brought the Old and New Testament to the - service and comprehension of all sorts and conditions of men.

And, not to forget, for the young men, who intend to enter -the ministry, Luther should be an example, a guid­ ing star. His character contains two qualities which are essential in the character of a servant of God: sincerity and fearlessness. Priest and public man as Luther was, there was not a trace, not a line of hypocrisy in his whole being.

He blurted out the truth, and the whole truth, as lie saw it, entirely reckless of its consequences to himself and others.

He spoke his mind, as he himself once put it, “despite all cardinals, popes, kings and emperors, together with all devils and hell.” That is what made him a reformer from his earliest manhood. In the order of the Augustinians, to which Luther belonged, he soon discovered that smooth cant and false unction had taken the place of real righteous­ ness. When the indulgences crossed his path, it was in­ evitable that he should destroy them or sacrifice liis life in the attempt.

In the indulgences and the many abuses connected with them, Luther recognized nothing but a gross fraud prac­ ticed upon the innocent and blind people, the selling of the promise of forgiveness, grace and heaven for a sordid sum of money. On the 31st of October, 1517, lie posted on the castle church of Wittenberg a document setting forth his frank opinion of indulgences and thereby began a revolu­ tion. This act not only portrayed Luther’s sincerity but also liis fearlessness. So habitually fearless was he that throughout his life he never once faltered in the perform­ ance of a duty, even though it meant the loss of his pop­ ularity. It was his habit of courage that fitted him to make liis great stand for conscience at the Diet of Worms. He defied both death and, what is certainly harder, the hostile opinion of the world. There is no better way in which we can commemorate Luther’s birthday, than by sincerely en—147—

deavoring to form our characters, according to his. For no one can contemplate Luther’s deeds and words without receiving an impulse toward duty and spirituality.

THE OBJECT OF OUE COLLEGE PAPER.

:

Man is so constructed in mind and body that, presum­ ing he is in a normal state mentally and physically, he does nothing of any import without some end or aim in view.

No matter what the undertaking be there must have been some motive that prompted him to act; he must liave had some end in view.

We, the editorial staff of the college paper, in cooper­ ation with the collegiate department of our institution go to the trouble of publishing a journal every month. To some of us it may seem almost to be a custom come down to us like some ancient tradition that we become members of the staff and feel ourselves forced to do the work ex­ pected of us, as our predecessors did also; that we labor on with apparently no end in view. If this is the case, our toiling is useless, and we may as well make the start, break the bonds of custom, and end all this useless waste of per­ fectly good energy and valuable time.—But we may have some object in view after all, and if we have, what is it?

According to our way of looking at things, one of the two main aims is to establish a band of fellowship among the men who have left our institution as honorable grad­ uates. or under-graduates. These men leave their Alma Mater to take up their life’s work, be it in whatever field it may. Many of them do not get the opportunity to revisit the first haunts of their learning for years, they hear very little of their old school, excepting what they read in the college journal. To them this paper means much. It calls them back to the roomy old halls and to the hard benches of the class-room they left years ago. It tells them that there are young men in their same old rooms, doing the very things they did in days gone by—and they enjoy themselves alone with memories.

But still there is another aim toward which our efforts tend. ^ Through our paper we introduce our institution to our friends, neighboring schools and colleges. To them we bring every month a report of the scholarship existing at our college. We bring our best for them to judge from.

But a selfish, egoistic, motive might lie at the bottom —148—

I

^ Titn I

of this intention—conceit! If the staff that edits the col­ lege paper together with their cooperators do so and think that they are thereby giving the world something weighty and deep, something for which it cannot thank them enough, they surely are an arrogant set of conceited young people.

A paper that is issued by such a group of characters is bound to create the same impression as do its opinionated authors. The average college student is not mature enough to write articles of such a nature that the world looks on them with awe; that is beyond him, and consequently let us, each and every member of our college paper’s staff erad­ icate every iota of conceit within us, so that lie who reads our work finishes with the opinion that we have worked to the best of our ability一whether the work be good or bad, tliat is left for him to judge.

Thus we might sum up in one sentence: the object of our college paper is to create a bond of fellowship among the graduates of our institution and to exhibit the scholar­ ship existing there, without haughtiness and conceit, to our friends, neighboring schools, and colleges.

EDITOR’S NOTE:一As stated in the September issue of the Black and Red, all members of the last year’s graduating class had entered the Seminary at Wauwatosa; the Alumni editor reported this on misinformation. Rudolph Schlueter is at present instructor at Bethany Ladies’ College, Man­ kato, Minnesota. Hans Bierwagen is not enrolled with his class either. Rumor lias it that he is now in California.

—On Wednesday, Sept. 14th, Rev. A. Eickmann, ’06，o/ Dakota, Minn., was on the gridiron and watched the foot­ ball team go through its daily practice. Sunday afternoon, Sept. 18, he preached at the annual mission festival of the St. Mark*s Lutheran Church here. ―Mr. Paul Eickmann, ’17, has given up his studies at the Seminary at Wauwatosa and is now at the University of Michigan preparing himself to teach, natural sciences at Northwestern College. Mr. Eichmann was called by the Board to serve the Synod in this manner, since with the in­ troduction of new courses Dr. Ott cannot be expected to take over all the work. Before leaving for Ann Harbor, Mr. Eickmann visited his friends here Sept 17. Since he is a lover of football and one of our former coaches, he took great delight in watchilig our 1921 squad during practice. 一While in Watertown on business Rev. E. Dornfeld, ’04, of Milwaukee, Wis., visited Ed. Sponliolz, ’25，on Sept. 19.

He was here again Oct. 1 ,for the Beloit-Northwestern foot­ ball game, but was compelled to leave before the game was concluded.

—We are glad to announce that Prof. Dr. Ernst, wlio has not been able to teach because of a paralytic stroke suffered shortly before the close of the summer recess, is very much improved in, his condition. Although, the function of his left arm is still impaired, he is no longer entirely confined to his bed, but can already move about unassisted. Since it is impossible for Dr. Ernst to come to his class-room to teach, he has an ardent desire to have tlie students come to

his house and receive his instructions, and it is only the strict rules laid down by his doctor that keep our venerable Doctor from taking up at least a part of his work. 一Rev. W. Schumann, ’12, of North Fond du Lac, Wis., has accepted a call to Markesan, Wis. —On Sept. 21, Rev. H. Bergmann, ’80, of Milwaukee, Wis., and Rev. Geo. Bergmann, ’85, president of the Wisconsin Synod, visited Dr. Ernst. Rev. H. Bergmann also spent some time with his nephew, E. Blumenthal. 一Rev. John Abelmann, ’05，Edgar, Wis., visited his mother Mrs. Mary Abelmann and his brother Dr. T. C. Abelmann, ex ’05, both of Watertown, September 23. In the afternoon he was seen on the gridiron while the football team was going through its signals. 一Rev. Ph. Koehler, ’09, of Iron Ridge, Wis., preached at the mission festival of the Trinity English Lutheran Church here Sunday, September 25. 一Waldemar Heidtke, ’20, sojourned here with his former fellow-students for a few hours on September 29. He then returned to the University of Chicago. Mr. Heidtke is now writing a thesis for his M. A. degree and intends to enter the Seminary at Wauwatosa after Christmas. 一Mr. E. Blakewell, *18, of the Seminary at Wauwatosa, was called to the bedside of his mother, who has undergone an operation at La Crosse. 一On September 18, Martin Zimmermann, ’18, of Watertown, was ordained after the morning mission service at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church. On Thursday, September 29, Rev. Zimmermann left for .Globe, Arizona, where he is in charge of the Mission among the Whites. 一October found the football team primed for its annual battle with Beloit College, and many lovers of the sport found this date an opportune one to visit their Alma Mater.

Among our many backers on the sidelines we discerned Rev. H. K. Moussa. ’00，of Jefferson, Wis., Rev. E. Dornfeld, ’04, of Milwaukee, Wis., Rev. P. Marohn, ’13, of Richwood, Wis., Rev. J. Henning, ’18, of Enterprise, Wis., Charles Kuske, ’18, Luther Voss, ’18, G. Press,，20, K. Timmel, ’20, Arthur Arndt, ’21，E. Baumann, ’21, Im. Boettcher, 21, M. Buenger, ’21，Ed. Jaster, ?21, Alb. Meier,，21, and B. Pankow, *21, all of the Seminary at Wauwatosa. By the expressions on their faces after the game one could tell they were highly pleased with the showing of tlie college team.

From reports among the students it seems that Dr. Ernst is rapidly recovering liis healtli. His illness has con­ fined him indoors for about eight weeks now. The entire student-body expressed its sincerest hopes that he may have a speedy and complete recovery when they sent him flowers to cheer his sick-room. 氺 # # « The student-body assembled in the dormitory chapel for the purpose of electing a new student-body secretary.

Hohda, the secretary for the senior class, wished to be re­ leased from this extra work and his reasons were found valid. R. Marti has accepted the office as secretary.

Another meeting was called for the purpose of prac­ ticing some yells. The new yell leaders are Monie Uetzmann, Sliortie Weissgerber, and Rustie Rossin. The hardy support whicli the team received from the side-lines at the Beloit game on the first of October was greatly due to their efforts. We feel that it is our duty to thank the students from the Seminary for their generous support in tlie rooting! 氺眷. # « The Athletic Board, revived last year, is now in full swing. The Board is a committee of six. It must com­ prise three Seniors and two Juniors and the managers of the football or baseball teams. The object of this board is to cooperate with, and to assist the Athletic Director, Prof.

Parisius, and to represent the student-body in athletic af­ fairs. Its present members are: Palmer, pres., Rossin, and Brandt, Seniors; and Wacker and Engel, Juniors. Krain is manager of the football squad and attends the meetings of the board. 本

The Northwestern College Band held its first meeting and found that outside of the trombone section the losses sustained were not of great moment. The prospects for the year are good, according to I. Uetzmann, the new president.

The directorship, left vacant by the absence of Prof. Westerhaus, will be filled by Prof. E. Wendland. Prof. Wendland directed the orchestra last year and tlie band expects —152—

^ ；H说

I

to win back its last year’s reputation under him. A new bass horn and a piccolo are the latest acquirements of the band.

The band rehearses twice a week in the gymnasium.

The officers elected for this year are: I Uetzm^pres.; John List, yice-pres.

A. H. Baer, secretary, and Hilmar Krueger, librarian. We all hope that this year also the band will be successful in its ambitions and be a source of constant pride for our Northwestern.

The Northwestern College Smoking Society has also be­ gun its 1921 season. On Saturday evening the first of ( tober, A. Fuhlbrigge, W. Krueger, W. Frank, and R. Falk were duly accepted as members of the club. About thirty students have applied for membership. The society had its elections last June with the following result: President, A. Gentz; vice-president, W.. Voigt; secretary, W. Krenke; treasurer, I. Uetzmann; sergeant-at-arms, W. Siffring.

The club rooms were moved from the second floor of the old wing to the basement of the right wing of the new dormitory. Although these quarters are less pleasant, the season is expected to furnish amusement and entertainment for the many lonesome hours of the winter.

On Wednesday evening, the twenty-eighth of Septem­ ber, the Trinity Sunday School showed the College Film in the gymnasium. This film was taken last Decoration Day and at the closing exercises last June. It shows the life at our college in a way in which no other method could be successful. If it is shown in our Lutheran congregations, it should encourage parents to send their sons more will­ ingly, since they can obtain such a clear picture of collegelife through them.

Among other pictures, the slides prepared by Prof.

Koehler, of the Theological Seminary, were the most inter­ esting. They showed proposed plans of the new seminary, possible sites, and several new views of the old building. *

Last, but by no means least, we must mention a thing that has been on all our minds, and especially in our eyes, so prominently for the last two weeks.

We wonder, does anyone know whether the Freshies have their sweaters as yet?

The first fire alarm that has occurred for years was sent in the other day. But fortunately, it was only a false —153—

alarm—the person who sent in the alarm saw a Freshman coming around the corner of the dormitory. We’ll be ac­ customed to them in a few years, Freshies, don’t lose cour­ age!

n Northwestern 0; Beloit 0.

On October 1, Coach Parisius brought his squad of sturdy athletes out upon our gridiron for the first battle of the 1921 football season, against the strong eleven from Be­ loit, which but a week before defeated the Northwestern University of Evanston, 111., by a score of 7 to 0. Although Beloit outweighed our players, our team acted like a group of veterans and battled the opponents to a 0 to 0 standstill.

This was a great surprise to all Watertown fans as well as to the visitors from Beloit, who expected to run up a score of at least sixty points before the end of the first half.

Northwestern received the kick-off, Huebner our quar­ terback returning the ball ten yards before being downed.

Captain Brandt then tried to pierce the Beloit line with but little avail. He then punted and the safety, Radebaugh. who was rather nervous, fumbled and Gentz recovered the ball on the opponent’s thirty yard line. A pretty forward, followed by a succession of line smashes brought us within eight yards of victory. This was our first and best chance for a score, but an incomplete pass on the fourth down put the oval into the hands of our enemy. After this very little can be said about the first quarter, for nothing but punts • —154—

occurred, both lines holding like a stone-wall, not permit­ ting any of the backs to gain over five yards at a time.

The second quarter found the two squads battling forty yards from Beloit’s goal, from whence our opponents started their longest and most threatening march through our ter­ ritory. A penalty, several forwards, short line plunges and long end runs netted them fifty yards before they could be held on downs. We were now in a very critical position, only ten yards from our own goal, but a nice punt by Brandt again put the ball in enemy territory. No decisive gains were made during the remainder of the quarter.

Between halves the forty rooters who accompanied the Beloit eleven came across the field and rooted before our bleachers. This added new life to the many Northwestern supporters and through their unceasing yells they drove the Beloit group off the field一another disappointment for the visitors.

Second half. It was now Beloit’s turn to receive the kick-off which their speedy little left half, Radebaugh, re­ turned thirty yards, dashing through, almost our entire team before being brought to earth. Then followed a short-lived attack, for Kuske intercepted a forward, passed through the entire defense only to be stopped by the last Beloit man.

Our backs then tore through the line one after another for large gains, coming within twenty yards of a score only to lose the ball on downs. Beloit punted and Brandt followed suit with a perfect punt, the ball rolling out of bounds on the visitors’ five yard line. A short time later, when Huebner tried a drop-kick the ball again, rolled outside in the very same place.

The last quarter was one of passes and long gains.

Over sixty yards were gained via the aerial-pass route.

Again and again our men broke through to block a forward, until Lehmann finally recovered the ball on an attempted drop-kick and sped down the field for twenty yards. When lie was downed the final whistle blew.

In this first game our team showed that it is well able to compete with any team in the conference. With a little more seasoning we may hope to see our name on top or at least very near the top of the list of victors in the standing of the “Little Five” conference. 一155—

CALVIN COLLEGE CHIMES. The Calvin College Chimes from Calvin College, Grand Rapids, Michigan, is one of the newer additions to our ex­ change list.

The cover design at once attracts our attention. It portrays a mountain lake as seen through a grape-entwind arch. The paper used is of good quality and accounts to a certain extent for the clear print.

You have advertisements scattered promiscuously throughout the body of the paper. One gains the impres­ sion that several of the advertisements went astray and, for —16 6—

want of a better place, settled down here and there with the reading matter. We think it would be better to put all the advertisements in the rear of the paper.

Your paper opens witli several editorials. The first encourages all students to apply themselves to their work with the new energy that the varied environments of the summer vacation have produced. The second invites new students to take part in the various school activities that they may become acquainted and catch the school spirit.

“One View” and ^Another View” discuss views on ed­ ucation. The practitioner dwells on the mere acquisition of a large number of facts. The writer correctly points out that sucli an education can lead only to mental and moral confusion because it neglects the soul. The extreme clas­ sicists view is also faulty. It lays too much stress on the old classics. The present tendency is to put aside the clas­ sics for such things as will bring immediate tangible re­ turns. No one can deny that “ceteris paribus” the man who has mastered several languages is better educated than he who has not.

“Fata Academica” contains what is usually termed “Locals” or “News.” In one of the items you have “Thurs­ day, September 7.” September 7 was on a Wednesday.

“Going Down” is the story of the author’s first visit to a mine. The plot is well carried out. We feel as though we ourselves were actually visiting the mine with the author as guide.

The writer of the next article goes rather mucli into de­ tail about the life, works and style of a little known Amer­ ican poet, John Gould Fletcher.

“Witli the Collegians” seems to be the humor section.

Do you not think that the paragraphs devoted to “A Yel­ low Primrose一A Red-brick School” would fit in better as an editorial?

A short column on athletics concludes the paper.

We shall pass over the material and give a few sugges­ tions on arrangement and presentation. We think you could impro vq the attractiveness of your paper considerably by dividing the material into definite departments. Stories would then be found in the “Literary” department, as is the case with most college papers. A few cuts as department heads would not be out of place either.

You have an Exclia nge and Alumni editor; but where are their departments? college paper can hardly hope for success without taking the alumni into consideration.

You have a Co-Ed Department and a Co-Ed Comment Ed—157—

itor; but never a word do we see pertaining to co-eds. You have an Athletic column, but apparently no Athletic Editor.

There can be no question but that you have the ability and talent to make your paper a worthy representative of your college.

We hope you will receive these comments in the spirit in which they are extended.

May the Chimes ever climb upward to perfection.

A HUNTER’S THANKSGIVING. D. Rolida, J22.

The autumn had been long and beautiful. September lia(l not even wielded the yellow brush on tlie green foliage of summer. October's tliirty-one days had been beautiful, almost every one. The sky was clear with its higli lightblue; the leaves of the maples were now taking on a tint of reel, the elras a tinge of yellow, and the landscape in the distance actually bore the first traces of autumn liaze. To the observer tho landscape in the distance with its red oaks and its painted elms and maples was like a wonderful ar­ tistic painting bathed in the last purple rays of the autumn sun. Such softness of tint was not to be described in words, a mass of color which only fall knows how to paint.—But now October had passed and Noyember with its chilly winds took possession of nature. Its cold breath soon blasted the showy October colors. The red and yellow leaves of the maples were fallen, brown and (lead. The dry leaves of the oaks shivered in tlie wind that whirled the dead leaves below in spiral trains into tlie air. The same cold winds swept —163—

i and waved the long dry grass of the marshes and the reeds of the ponds, where the fall game-birds were resting and bathing on tlieir long journey southward. Wliat a paradise for the hunter were the marshes and ponds with their abun­ dance of canyas-backs, mallards, and teal!

The November clay was cold and damp. The misty chill of the last week had taken all the beauty from tlie woods and copses; the bare trees stood out in sharp outline against the solid dark clouds. Nineteen-year old Jack Hamilton was cleaning his double-barreled shot-gun near the back door of his comfortable little home. He was the only male des­ cendant of tlie old Harailtons wlio had come to the Middle West nearly a century ago. Tlie family liad once been very wealthy, but, as the saying went, Jack’s granclfatliei’ had lived a very extravagant life in the city and had dissipated the bulk of his huge fortune. Jack’s father was the only child, and at tlie death of the old Hamilton liis inheritance proved but the meagre sum of four thousand dollars. With this and a fair store of honest ambition and good common sense lie left the city and settled with liis wife on a small farm just outside the village of C., where Jack was born.

The father Jack prospered on his few acres, but lie did not live to enjoy the fruits of his labor. Jack and liis mother were left alone on tlieir little homestead, where tlie lmsky son proved an efficient husbandman. November sides looked down on a harvest well stored up in the barns and on fields plowed and ready for the winter grains. The fall labor was completed and Jack might enjoy a few clays of rest. The blood of a sportsman flowed in liis veins. “A day in the marsh, back near the old pond,” went through liis mind: —and just then a flock of ducks flew over liis head. That was enough ! The old shot-gun must come out. of its eornev now, and Jack bounded up stairs to get it. But first tlie barrels must shine, and tlnis it happens that we see him cleaning and oiling tlie old fowling-piece near the back-door of his cottage home.

Just before noon, Jack, attired in liis high rubber boots, leather vest, and corduroy cap, and carrying a good store of shells and the old gun, was ready and off for the marsh.

The sport of splashing through the reeds and the rushes and the water of the marsh ! The more sport when lie came —164—

on a little duck-boat that some follower of the igun had brought here and had been using for the last few weeks !

When he had arrived at the marsh, only two ducks were to be seen, and before he had a chance to fire on them, they were up and away. Since then not a single stranger had flown overhead or landed in the pond to the right of the rusliy marsh; tlie Hock that Jack liad seen at home had not stopped long at this shallow little pool; they very likely had larger and more secure stopping places spied out on their journey. Until three o’clock Jack kept on pushing the boat before him through tlie rushes, stopping every uo'v and then to stand erect and spy about,, then lying low again wait­ ing for any possible visitors. Another half hour passed — and then the real spoi.t l)ogan.

Jack liad been lying crouclied in Hie little one-man boat for fifteen ininutos (t.liev seemed like an hour), when sud­ denly lie sighted a pretty flock of ducks circling directly above tlie pond at his right. They seemed about to sweep down to the water, yet if tliev would not—? Jack was undecided wlietlier to shoot into the /lock on wing or to risk a chance at their landing. Tlieir flight told him pretty clearly that they were about to come down; so he waited.

He hardly drew a broath during the next few minutes.— Then, what feast for tlie eye of the hunter ! There diving and swimming before him, some eight rods from tlie little boat, were a flock of mallards not less than ten in number. With Tliauksgiving Day only a week ahead, a picture of a riclily spread table with two big roasted (lucks, the prey of his own gun, sprang up in Jack’s mind. It seemed almost a pity to fire into such a showy array of colored' plumage, but at such a sight, the hunter’s heart knows no pity; lie is after game and just such au opportunity as this. Without the least rustle of a reed or a rush, Jack raised his shot-gun to his shoulder, took good aim, and sent a shower of shot into tlie flock of mallards. With one ac­ cord, upon hearing the shot, tlie flock swept into the air; only two were unable to fly along.. As quick as a flash Jack sent another storm of ball into the fleeing band in the air; two more fell into tlie water. Before lie could reload, how­ ever, the remaining six, one or the other carrying a leaden ball in its feathers or flesh, were away and beyond liis range.

—165—

anlt — Jack soon recovered his dead or wounded prey, and to be sure that their suffering was not prolonged, lie extingu­ ished the last spark of life with his ready hunting knife. 一 But the chores must be done; it was time to leave for home; so Jack concealed the duck-boat among tlie dead brown rashes where he had found it and made for home. The after­ noon had clouded the sun with (lark clouds; tlie heavy blueblack strata on the horizon spoke for snow, as did the damp chill of the air. It was but half past four, yet late twilight had already set in. Jack could not possibly reach home be­ fore dark. He knew the ways and byways well, tliougli, and he struck for tlie nearest way to his home. The feast lie enjoyed on the way home with his mallards ! He pictured to himself tlie inside of liis cozy home just after church on Thanksgiving Day. The odor of the basted ducks in the oven mingled with that of freshly baked mince-pies; the tea-kettle steaming and singing on the little cook-stove; the warm kit­ chen and cozy living-room; the windows steamed from the chill outside; mother hurrying about preparing： the gravy and jellies;—all these tilings arranged themselves into a wonderful picture of home! But suddenly Jack’s dreaming stopped — he had slipped on a slimy, old stump below the marshy surface and had fallen !

Mrs. Hamilton waited long and anxiously. Surely Jack must be home at seven; but he was not. The evening chores must be done and Jack never forgot that. At seven o’clock Mrs. Hamilton lierself went to tlie barn and milked tlie four cows, watered tlie team, and fed the liogs. That would take lier mind off Jack; he had possibly stopped in at one of the neighbors and had accepted an invitation to supper; at eight he very likely would be home. But the cuckoo called eight in the lamp-lighted little sitting room, and there was yet no sign of Jack. Fear now gripped Mrs. Hamilton: something must have happened ! She would wait not a minute longer.

She slipped on her coat, tied a sliawl about her head and went out into the night. The clouds had broken in some few places and now and then a bright star burned through; the air was chill and a snoAV flake strayed about here and there. The mother was shivering from cold and fear as she hurried on to the nearest neighbor. At tlie Howell farm the living-room was glowing with lamps and ruddy —166—

faces. Hope kindled in Mrs. Hamilton’s heart for probably Jack was among the lmppy crowd and had forgotten for the first time his work and his mother at home. She pushed by the farm dop： that, had romp to p：rcet her with his jumping and harking, and ra])pec] at the front door.

“Jack?” answorofl j\fr. TTowell innuiringlv. we lmTen’f* seen Jack to-(lay.”一 “•Taclc, not lioro?^, slie crnspod. f<Somot.hinff must have happenorl. Yon must lioln mo fiml him.

His dnclvs "wore well taken care of: his ^\m also. l\rrs. Wirte the larlv of the farmhouse nicely washed the muck from .Tnck's faop and hands and fornicl liim clean, dry clothes. Another hour wore on and Jack ap：ain regained consciousness. <fTt is late. My ducks. I must i?o home” he said. The doctor advispd that he be taken home. Jack, his gun and ducks, Mr. Howell, Mr. Wirte, —167—

and Dr. Birke were soon bounding over the road m Mr. Wirte’s automobile toward tlie Howell farm, whither the rest of the searching party would walk.

Four anxious hours had Mrs. Hamilton watched and waited at the Howell farm, without a word of her son. Slie was frantic and hysterical at times — but now when an automobile drove lip to the house and Dr. Birke came in and asked for Mrs. Hamilton, she was more calm and composed than she had been all evening. She knew something luid happened, and as one who has suddenly been robbed by death of a dear friend or relative is fc rcecl in that sad hour to be steadfast and brave, she gatherer] all her heart and conra^ against the worst that, might lmve happened. Not until slie had the conscious Jack at home, asleep in his oavh chamber, did she ^ive vent to her feelings.

Jack’s first wish after he liad been taken home and lm(l thanked God for his life, was to realize those pictures he had formed just before he had fallen: mother sliculd clean the ducks and keep them frozen until Thanksgiving; the weather was cold enough to preserve them those few clays.

And mother fulfilled his wish.

The doctor came the next day： he feared Jack must un­ dergo an operation to remove the shot from liia shoulder, buf. on close examination he found that, lie had removed all but three. It caused Jack much pain to have those tlivee shot removed, for they were lodged deep, but lie was strong and had learned to endure pain.

Thanksgiving came and Jarlc was able to be up and about; tlie doctor even allowed him to leave tlie house to c：o to church. A real tlianlvss：ivinj? that was ! The thoughts and prayers of mother and son were one, that of heart-felt thanks to God for sparing Jack’s life.

And at home ! It was their first Thankseivinq： alone, but with the .realization of all .Tacl^s pictures it was by far the happiest and Jack was more thankful than ever before.

LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN. Rudolph 0. HorlamTis, '24.

Ludwag van Beethoven, einer der groessten Koiuponisten —168—

~sss": r_ .7-r-.-J>V^

aller Zeiten, stammte aus einor arnien Musikantenfamilie zu Bonn und Avurde hoeclistwarsclieinlich am 16. Dezember 1770 geboren. Sein Grossvater hatte zuerst hier als Hofmusikus und spaeter als ITofkapellmeister gedient. Sein Vater, der ein Kenner mid Lieblmber der Mnsik war, wirkte als Tenorist in der kurfuerstliclion Kapelle Maximilian Friedrichs zu Bonn.

Sell on in seinen vievton Lebensjahre nnisste Beethoven die edle Musika beginneu. Er tat (lies mit Freuden, (lenn es hereitote ihm grosse Frende, die Violine zu spielen. Sein Vater gdb ihm den ersten Unterricht, aber da Beethoven neun Jalire alt war, liatte er alles geiernt, was der Vater ihn lehren konnte. Im Jalire 1779 uebernahm der Tenorist Pfeiffer die ITnterwoisung Beethovens. Von diesem wurde Ludwig mehr in die Mnsik liineingestossen als hineinerzogen, und so wurde er drei Jalire spaeter untor Christian Gottlob Neefe gosetzt. !Necfe untorrichtete ilin in Bachs Musik und gab ihm auch regdmaessigen Kompositionsunterricht,so class Beetlioven schon im Alter von 13 Jaliren drei Klaviersonaten kon丨】)oniert hatte.

Im Jalire 17S7 niachte Beethoven eine Reise nach Wien, um (loi.t ^rozart kennon zu lei-nen und seinen Untenicht zu geniessen. Diesen Zweck erreichte er auch, obwolil der Yerkelir mit Mozart nur kurze Zeite dauerte; denn Ludwig erliielt selir bald (lie !Naclu*icht von der schweren Erkrankung seiner Mutter and imisste deswegen wieder nach Bonn zurueckkeliren. Er kam noeli frueh genng nach Bonn, ura die geliebte Bcscliuetzerin seiner Jugond noch lebend zu sehen.

Nach ill vein Tode am 17. Juli 17S7 wurde die Sorge der Erzieliung der z'vei juengeren Gescliwister auf ilim gelegt; denn der Vater yergeiulele all sein Geld im Wirtshaiis and wurde schliesslicli wegen seiner Unfaehigkeit yon seiner Stellung abgesetzt. Als Ludwig nun aber Hoforganist wurde und dann aucli noch die Haelfte vom Gehalt seines Yaters zur Erzieliung der Kinder bekara, wurde seine Last ein wenig gemindert.

Als Hoforganist erlangte Beetlioven grosses Ansehen in Bonn, und da Haydn im Juli 1792 nach Bonn kam und ilin spielen lioerte, wurde er durch (lessen Gewandtlieit so beeinflusst, dass er Beetlioven erraunterte, nacli Wien zu kommen. Diese Eeise wurde schliesslicli im Herbst desselben —169—

Jahres durch Wirkung des Grafen Waldstein und des Kurfuersten ermoegliclit, da sie ihm Urlaub gabeu and seinen Gelialt als Organist doch weitergehen liessen.

Beethoven kain nun gluecklich in Wien an und nahm seinen ersten Unterriclit yon Haydn. Haydn sclieint die Unterweisnng jedocli etwas leicht p：enommen zn liaben; denn es vrird gesagt, dass Schenk nielinnals Beethoven auf Feliler aufmerksain maclite, die Haydn unverbessert gelassen hatte.

Deswegen wiirde Beetlioven bald veranlasst, aucli sein Stndien unter Schenk weiterzn f11 ehren, oline (lass er don Unterricht bei Haydn aufgab. Einijro Jalire spnoter roisle TTaydn abei* nacli England. Dios p：al) Beetlioven dann eine Gelegenlieit, sicli einen neuon Lelirer zu waelilen, den er in Aly>reclitsberjrer fand.

Waehrend er nun imter Albroclitsberp：or stndierte, he-nachriclitigte man ilm aus Koeln, class seine 100 Dukfiten nach 1794 ausbleiben wuerflon: denn bei cl e Fuersten 'vimlen dort abgesetzt. Obwolil dies resell ah, war es niclit sclnvcr fuer ihn, seinen Lebensmiterlialt zn helvommen. Neben niehreren wolilbezalilten UnterrichtF?.stun(lon flosson ihm aucli die Bestellimgen der Sonaten von Yerlec：ern reichlicli zu, so class er im Jalire 1800 seinem Freunde Weireler scliroihon konnto: ^Meine Compositionen trajren mir viel oin, uml icli kanu sagen, dass ich nielir Bestelhmgen hnbe, als fast mooglich ist, dass ich befrierli<?en kann.,y Im Jalire 1795 trat er in Wien zmn ersten Mai in einem Konzert auf. Im naechsten Jalire maolite er dann seine einzige Konzertreise. Auf dieser Roise licss er sich besonders in Prag, Nuemborfi： nnd Borlin in it jrrossem Erfolir lioeren. Bis zum Jalire 179S trat er noch ooftors nls TGaviei*spieler auf, aber dann zoje: ov si oh immor molir vom ooffentlichen Spielen zunieck, und im Jalire 1814 trat or ;c：anz und 职r vom Konzertleben znrueck, weil sein Gehoor imclilioss, was gerade flier ihn als Mnsiker besondors fnrehtbar und schmerzlich sein musste.

Da er sell on im Jalire 1800 diose Kranldioit bomerkte, schfen er yon einer foermlichen Raseroi dos Rclinffens neberkommen wordon zu sein: denn es entstanden zwisolien den Jahren 1800-1.^10 rlie meisten and besten aller seinen Kompositionen. Bis 1801 waren seine Kompositionen zu den sechs Quartetten op. 18 gedruckt. Bis 1810 sclnif er dann —170—

alle fuenf Klavierkonzerto, das Violinkonzert, die ersten seclis Symplionieii, die Streichsquartette bis op. 95, die fuenfzehn Klaviersonaten, fuenf Violiusouaten and die' Oper “Lenore” so'vie die Musik zu “Egmont.”

Als er aber in 1809 den Beruf als Kapellmeister des Koenigs Jerome Bonaparte in Kassel bekam, kam auch eine Aendemng seiner aeusseren Lebenslage. Weil er geneigt war, diesem Ruf zu folgen, versucliten (lie Fuersten Lobkowitz inul Linskv zusainmem mit clem Erzlierzog Rudolf, (lie Annahme zu verhiiulern. Deswogen setzen sie Beethoven einen Jahresgolmlt von -1000 Gulden mis, wo fuel* er sicli verpflichten nuissto, in Wien odei* in ciner aiulern oesterreichischen Stadt zu bleibon, was Beethoven auch zu tun versprach. Es danerte aber niclit. lange bis (lie Verpflichtungen clem Erzlierzog selir (lrueckeiul wurden, ganz besondera in spaoteron .Tallinn, als er iminer mohr und mehr (lurch koor])oi*liolie Lei<lon lierab^eflniockt wurdo. Ja (lie Verpflicht.unp^ii wurdon so (Irueckond, (lass er cinmal klagte: “Da ich den Sommer nicht liior zngobracht liabe, so muss ich jetzt dafu6r alio Tage zwei Stnndon Lection geben bei Sr. Kaiserl. IToheit dein Erzlierzog Rudolf. Dies nimmt mich so allem andorn imfaehig bin. Und her, dass ich boinfilio (labei kann ieli niclit. leben von dem was icli einzunelimen liabe, wozn mir meine Fedor hel fen kmm.”

In 1810 kam Beotlioven auf den verliaengisvollen Ge(lanken, eigne Wirtschaft zu fuehreii. Bis jetzt hatte er ^rahlzeiton zu oiner Zeit, warm es ihm am besten passte, in einera Wirtshaus genommen. Jetzt wollte er selber Hausherr sein, hatte aber keine Anlage dazu. Er bekuemmerte sich auch nicht daruni, ob jeraand auders im Hatise wolmte, sondern er selling： den Takt laut beim Komponieren, so dass ihm oefter (lie Wohnung gekuendigt wurde. Schliesslich fand or aber in Frau Streiclier eine besorgte, helfende Freund in; (leim sie nalim Aveiiigstous die Sorgen (les nanslialtes von seinen Sclmltern. Wie ei. aber keine Ruecksicht auf die Naclibarn nalun, sclieiut er auch keine Ruecksicht auf seine Diener genommen zu liaben. Er schrieb einmal folgendes an Frau Streiclier: “Die Fraenlein N. ist ganz umgeaendert, seit icli iln* das lialb Dutzend Bueclier an den Kopf geworfen.”

Bis jetzt war Beethoven nur vom Adel liocli geschaetzt —171—

worden, aber da er nun, 1S13, ‘/Wellingtons Sieg oder Sclilacht bei Victoria” schrieb, wurde er auch vom grossen Publikum liocli geaclitet. Er selbst erklaerte daes Lied zAvar eine Dummheit mit den Kanoneiisclniessen,dem ICleingewehrfeuer, dem Getose siner Schlacht, aber da es zum ersten Mai im Konzert gegeben wurde, liatte es einen solchen Erfolg, dass es in einem zweiten Konzert wiedorliolt werdeu musste.

Im folgenden Jalire erlangte er nun den Gipfel der aeusseren Erfolge durch seine Kantata “Der glorreiclie Augenblick”, die waelirend des Wiener Kongresses vor einera Audi­ torium von Fuersten aufgefuelirt wurde. Gleicli liiernach fing er seine Arbeit an der neunten Syinplionie an, die im Jalire 1819 beendigt Avurde. Obwolil er jetzt (lurch ein Leberleiden selir gequaelt wurcle, hatte er docli noch viele nene Kompositionsplaene.

Seine Krankheit wurde aber von nun an immer sclilimmer und schwaechte ihn selir. Im Jalire 1S26 suclite er bei seinera Bruder, der auf dem Lande wolinte, seinen Znstand zu bessern. Aber auch liier wurde es scliliminer anstatt besser. Deswegen kelirte er wieder nacli Wien zurueck, wo er am 2G. Maerz 1827 starb.

Beethovens Kompositionen lioennen niclit, wie die vieler anderer Komponisten, gruppiert werden. Jede Sonate, jede Symphonie imd jedes Quartett ist eine Welt fuel* sicli.

Er bringt in alien seinen Werken scliarfe Konti\aste her vor, wie titanisches Ringen, welnmitsvolle Entsagung, die lioechste Lust und den tiefsten Sclimerz. Noch heute wird Beetlioyens Musik weit und breit geruelimt and gespielt.

JOYS AND TRIALS OF ONE AUTUMN DAY. Hilmar Krueger, ’25. 、 On the fields the first signs of fall were already showing themselves. The corn liacl been cut, and now stood in shocks.

"Next to each shock lay the ears of ye]low corn to be dried in the sunliglit. A thick mist, which the sun’s rays could hardly penetrate, hovered over the fields. Silvery gossamer glistened in tlie sunlight and hung like spider webs on the trees, wliich were clothed in dark red, bronze, and brown.

—172—

From under tlie fallen leaves bright yellow pumpkins peeped.

The scolding of the wren, the warble of the warbler, the screeching of the catbird, and the morning visits of the robin were no more. The people no longer conversed at the street corners or at the doorsteps, but sought the cosy fireside, and gathered their families around them. Such was the little village of Ivenitli, which lav in a narrow valley at the foot of a huge mountain.

It was Saturday morning and the children were free from school. The children, happy for their freedom, fro­ licked about and amused themselves. Some raked and gather­ ed leaves, others carried or liaulod them away to a large pile. Here tlie boys wrestled and tlirew the leaves at each other. The older boys carved faces in the punipkins with which they expected to frighten their brothers and sisters on Hallowe'en. Suddenly they were attracted by an object moving swiftly down tlie winding road toward them. It was a gypsy wfigon.

When the gypsies ontorod the village, they began their usual i)racticos. The wouion and cliildren begged at every house, and wlicrever (lioy could stole vegetables and carpets that were outside. The older girls, witli their flowing black hair, and clothed in bright red dresses, told fortunes and sang old war-like gypsy tunes. The older boys remained with tlieir fathers and looked for stray animals which they could steal. So tliey went through tlie village.

When tlie band united at tlie other end of the town a dozen cliildren were following. As the children thus dodged and tagged the gypsies George espied a hickory-tree in tlie center of a corn-field. lie was tired of following the gypsies, but longed for liickory-nuts; so lie left his playmates, crawled over the fence, aud cut over tlie corn-field to the tree. But to get the nuts was not easy for him. He could not get them by climbing because they were too high. lie, therefore, tlirew stones and sticks at tlie branches, aud finally filled the bag, which lie had before been filling witli leaves. He now started for home, but came only to the end of tlie corn­ field. Here lie lay down and fell asleep, tired from walking and carrying- the nuts.

Meanwhile tlie sun had set and the (lay grown dark.

Supper was read}% but George was not tliere. His mother —173—

I called, but received no answer; she inquired at the neighbors, but no one had seen George. Finally the gypsies dawned upon her. They must have taken George along ! The news of George’s disappearance spread like wildfire through the village. Some of the neighbors galloped in tlie direction, in which, the gypsies were supposed to have gone. After an hour’s gallop the men returned, but had found no traces of the kidnappers.

During this time George’s brother also disappeared. It was full-moon and the search was begun immediately, but to no avail. The parents were at a loss what to do.

In the morning George and liis brother lmcl planned to go to the hickory-tree the next day. The brother, therefore, suspected that George had gone there, and when he heard of his brother’s disappearance he went there. Aided, by the bright moonlight, he came to the tree, but found no one.

On his return he noticed something at the edge of the field.

He went to it and found his brother, still holding the liickorynuts and resting his head on ears of corn.

When they arrived home all the neighbors had gone to bed. Their home was the only house that had light. When they entered, they found their father pacing the floor, tliei1* mother in another room seated at the table and crying.

The alarm and dismay of the brothers and tlieir parents was now turned into happiness and comfort. The father received them witli liis accustomed liappy smile.

Tlieir mother embraced them with a mother’s tendei' love and now wept for joy. At the glaring fireside little George, with tears rolling down liis clieelts, told liis delighted parents his adventures that day.

lEittnrtab THANKSGIVING.

Thanksgiving in America is our national holiday set aside for giving thanks to God for tlie harvest and the other blessings of the year. We all celebrate it, but how many really give thanks? We venture to say the number is in­ deed small. Take the average man for example; when he hears “Tlianksgiyiug Day”，what are the first ideas he as­ sociates with it? Does he tliink of prayer and thanksgiving, or does lie think of a fine roasted fowl with rich cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes, mince pie and other delicate —175—

'• i

.

dishes? The la,st are usually uppermost in liis mind, and all but crowd tlie first mentioned out entirely.

A table richly spread witli plenty to eat and drink and a jolly, good time — these things seem to be almost indispensable requisites of our Tlianksgiving. “Isn’t it true,” some one may ask, “that God gave us all these things that we should enjoy tliem?” Most certainly it is true, and for that very reason we should not let the thoughts of those things be uppermost in our hearts and forget the giver in joy over tlie gifts. Tlianks for them should fill our breasts with praise, and then certainly we also can enjoy our thanksgiving dinner in the right way.

To think that a luxurious table and gay mirth are abso­ lute necessities on Thanksgiving, is a foolish and absurd idea.

Was not tlie mite of the widow a fitting and proper thanks­ giving? And yet she knew nothing of feasting and merry­ making. Let ns with her make our hearts speak and not —R. our stomachs on Thanksgiving.

THE SPIRIT OF INDIFFERENCE. Of all the lumtlreds and thousands of problems the world to-day has to cope with, indifference seems one of the gravest and most wide-spread. No matter where one looks, he is bound to find traces of it. The laborer is looking for his money, liis wages; toward giving his employer one hundred per cent of his work and energy, he is indifferent. He is working for his wages; if the employer does not see that he gets returns for his money, he is the loser and that is his own lookout. The capitalist likewise is working for cold cash, and is indeed not over-scrupulous concerning what is right and what is wrong. * If the gold rolls into his treasur­ ies, he is satisfied; a thing 'so small and insignificant as conscience deserves no more than to be looked on mth indifference. Society and social workers pass the divorce and other scandal cases by with an attitude of indifference.

Such things are bound to happen, they say; they can not be hindered, so why bother about them? One gets along easier if he simply connives at such petty happenings. The voting body of the nation acts and thinks in a like manner in mat—177—

ters of government. Why bother one’s self with examining each candidate? One is as good as the other. The people of the Middle Ages thought that way too, and looked on their rights with indifference, until their indifference had robbed them of their rights and privileges and had bound them with iron chains to the very soil that they tillerl. Upon religion, the heart and soul of all culture and civilization, the world to-day looks with supreme indifference.

No matter where we find it, indifference is a p：reat menace. It is bound to wreak havoc in the end, one way or the other. We already see many a liad effect, about us. Our strikes in raany cases can lie traced bade to it. The men are working for their own pocket, they want tlieir inoney regard­ less of whether they really earn it or not. They demand more without considmns： whethov they earn it or not, and if they do not get their raise they strike. They hnte Hie capitalist! Does not his indiscriminate way of amassing huge fortunes, with inclifforence toward wliat is rijrlit, awaken distrust, and hate? Ts not society oorriiptod hy this same indifferent way of looldncr at many of the inexcusable and immoral scandal cases? Politics! Does not the in­ difference of our people besret corruption in tlie form of sel­ fish, egotistic politicians, elected been use the oloctins*： public hates to think and form correct, opinions, is indifferent and ready to choose this man or that.? The itnsettlor! and stormy conditions ra的ng： all about us are the direct results of the worlds extreme indifference toward religion. aro they not.?

In all cases we find indifference, bred of the spirit of care­ lessness, helpins： to work corruption and failure of purpose.

Applying the above to the indiviclnnl, — wo nrp all liable to this almost universal spirit, of indifFerenco. Wo become careless, listless; we do our work superficially, we allow onr-selves to become dependent, on hodks or our fellow-111 mi. All these circumstances are begotten of no other sire than in­ difference. And just as surely as this sniiMt, \vroalcs havoc and destruction in the world, it will rlo so with 11s also. It will he a detriment to our propjess. it will sap our cliaracter, and it will spell failure for us. It is never too late. Do your best to shake off indifference now !

Student life is not all cheerless. Sometimes we have pleasant hours or recreation and entertainment. When an entertaining event occurs that breaks the usual run of tlie school-year, we appreciate it highly.

—180—

On Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 19，we were especially honored by the program of the well-known Lutheran bari­ tone and soloist, Mr. A. H. ITolzhausen of Youngstown, Ohio.

Whether Mr. Iiolzhaiisen has himself passed some of the monotonous hours of college life or not, we know not, but he certainly showed a wonderful intuition when he offered to sing for the students gratis. His expression, intonation, and delivery were wonderful. !No special number should have extra comment; they were all good. But still we can­ not refrain from calling attention to the masterful repro­ duction of tlie aria “Lord, God of Abraham” from Mendels­ sohn's “Elijah.’，The selection “By the Waters of Minnptonka” is so vivid in om* memories, that even now we can hear the ripples and the whirls of tlie water. The aria “0 Du Mein Holder Abenstorn” from Richard Wagner's “Tannlmeusei.” was faultlessly rendered; the expression in it was excellent. “naideiii.oeslein” touched one’s heart.. Shal]it’s “Eli，Kli” was powerful. Finally, tlie Lord’s Prayer. It was the only selection tlmt could have served as a conclusion of this rich program. The real object of the concert is to inspire our Lutheran Churcli in America with the conscious­ ness that it has some true artists in its numbers. The num­ ber of famous singers, pianists, and artists in other lines is indeed not so small as one might be led to think, because they do not appear very often. Concerts of this kind should be vigorously encouraged !

The Lord’s Prayer----------------------------------------We must say a few words about a concert of another one of our Lutheran artists, Mr. E. Reclilin, organist of Im­ manuel Lutheran Church in New York City. Everyone knows that he is considered the country’s best organist and the master Bach interpreter. His program was so arranged that it formed a unit. Had any one part been dropped the im­ pression of the whole would have severely suffered. The concert was given at St. John’s cliurch and was attended by many of the students of the upper classes.

:

Our refectory lias seen some improvement. This summer the college-board met and decided to install a refriger­ ating system. The quantity of foodstuffs that must be pre­ served is too great to be held by the icebox now in use. We understand that carbon dioxide is going to be used in the refrigerating plant.

Another improvement is the electric-blower system on our two organs. Both organs have also been r&paired and they are now in fine condition. The electric blowers make it possible for organ-players to practice at all times without the extra expense of paying some one to pump for them.

—182—

anh —r* Already we have seen a strong increase in the number of Northwestern^ organists.

The College Band was asked to furnish music for the Watertown Fall Fun Festival from tlie twentieth to the twenty-second of Octobor. Since our trombone section was too weak for flic rest, of the hand, the city of Watertown paid Mr. Uetzniann nnd Mi，. Sauer, now of the Seminary, to help them out. Tlie boys (lid their very best and deserve the con^yratulation of tlie city. Our band seemed to be one of the favorite attractions of (lie Fun. The Northwestern College Band already stands high in the estimation of all the cities and towns in tlio neighborhood wherever it has ap­ peared, and added materially to its good reputation during the days of tlie Festival.

Finally, we here nnnonnee 'vitli great pleasure that three first-class concerts have l)oon arranged for the 1921-22 sea­ son. All (hroo aro roiulorocl hv artists of nation-wide reliown and world-wide i*ocojj：nition. They are: Alberto Salvi, Harold Bailor, and Anna C«ase.

The concert in 1921 is the harp-concert by Alberto Salvi on Novoinher 25. Snlvi is rocojniized as the world’s greatest concert liarpist., a.s tlie ^Wizard of the TTfirp.” It has been said of him that he is on the harp what Kreisler is on the violin. No end of pross comments hare lauded him with every possible adjective to show forth liis j?reat mastery of the instruinont. He has aocomi)lislied tilings on the liarp which were hitherto considered impossible for the instrument. He was born in Venice, tlie son of an Italian harp maker of that city. He is now twenty-eight years of age.

Before lie attendod school his father gave the <fBoy Wonder，” as lie was then called for having received the Royal Scholarship Prize, a miniature liarp winch lie himself made for him.

Tho first concert in 1922 is the piano concert of Ameri­ ca’s pianist, TTarold Bauer. Born in E叩land, of a family of which every member was musical, Harold Bauer first at­ tracted attention as violinist. While ho was pursuing liis ambitions in Paris, he met Paderewski and was persuaded by him that his greater genius was for the piano. He has travel—183—

t

|1

led over all European countries and his name is known wherever a sense of good music dwells. His performance on the keyboard lias been arranged for the fourteenth of February in 1922.

The last of the three, this on April 28,1922, is the vocal concert of Anna Case, soprano of high esteem. Her sudden rise in a few years from obscurity to the present position of eminence among singers of renown is greatly due to her great pluck, intellect, ambition, and perseverance. An unusual feature of her’s is that she is possessed of rare personal beauty in company with her rich lovely voice. Her bewitchmg hunvor and pleasant personality make her popular among all art-lovers and give her wide recognition from her fellow countrymen..

As the seating capacity of our gymnasium auditorium is limited, it would be advisable to procure tickets for these concerts early. All proceeds from these concerts, as also the proceeds from tlie Kreisler concert last season, will be added to the Library Building Fund of Northwestern College.

NORTHWESTERN 0. MILWAUKEE NORMAL 13.

Coach Downer’s fast and shifty Normal eleven furnished —184—

the upset of our college squad at Milwaukee Saturday, Oct. 8, in our only game of the season outside of the Conference.

The Normal played smart football throughout the entire game. Their offensive work, wliieli was nothing but a series of fake plays, was a feature, with Shuck, their weighty full­ back, tearing tliroiijjli our line almost at will. Northwestern lacked the punch wliicli it showed in the p^anie against Beloit college Imt a Avcok before; and only onco, and that at the start of the second half, did they show the old fight, when upon making first-down three times in succession they put the enemy goal in danger for the only time during the entire game.

The Oreon veeoivod the kiek-off at tlie opening of tlie game and returned the oval to their thirty-yard line. Then followed a sorios of fake 1 )1 ays. They gained thirty yards and wero finally hold for downs. A fumble soon brought the ball back into their possession, and they ajyain startec1 a relentless drivo for onr goal. Tliov advanced as far as our five-yard line; but here om» line stiffened and lield them for four eon seen live downs. Fi*o川 then on the battle raged in mid-field for tlie rest of that quarter.

Since noither .side could p：nin mucli ground by straight football in t.lic sceoiul session frequent uso was made of the punt. Finally after nsany line pinnies ami forward passes the speedy Milwankeo full-hack put the ball- over our goal for the first touch down scored against Northwestern this season. Moershel kicked goal and tlie half ended with the score seven to notliin^ in the Normal’s favor.

At the beginninsj： of the second half it looked as though the p：ame might vet be a victory for ns. Our backs, especi­ ally Captain Brandt, made loup： gains by smashes and end runs, ijamin^ over fifty yards in nine flowns. But before we could realize what liad happened the enemy was again at om* jroal. Again tliey could not put the ball across, be­ cause of a penalty and fumble; but toward the end of the last quarter full-back Sclmck went over for another touch­ down. Since Mnerschel did not lvick goal tlie game ended witli the score thirteen to nothing against us.

But what more could we expect when three of our ablest warriors were out on account of injuries received in the Beloit game, and tlie rest who did play still smarting under —185—

RIPON28. NORTHWESTERN 0.

I?

On October 15th Northwestern again had to lower its colors in defeat; this time to the noble Ripon team.

Already in the very earliest stages of the game Ripon scored a tonclidown. A thirty-yard forward, Gustin to Schneider, turned the trick. After this score our line braced and held the enemy. Our backs took aclvanta,s：e of this and made long gains by smashes and forwards, cominp： within twenty yards of the posts. This was the only time rluring the entire game that we had a chance to score. In the sec­ ond quarter nothins： could stop tlie Ripon backs from tear­ ing through our line for long ^ains much less could the famous Gustin-Schneider forward pass oomhination l>e broken up. This combination was tlie means of the second score，when the lanky Ripon end caught a pass? which was far above the heads of our defenders although they were standing directly in front of him. A few moments after this

touchdown the enemy scored another seven points. Only five smashes, netting them forty-five yards, put the ball across.

The half ended with the oval in mid-field.

In the third frame another long pass was completed.

This finished Kipon’s scoring for the rest of the game. From now on our representatives played better ball, fighting with the old Nortlnvestem pluck. The line prevented all gains through their territory, with the backs breaking up or in­ tercepting forward after forward.

But, as fate would have it, just when our team was play­ ing at its best the final whistle stopped the struggle and the game ended 28 to 0 in Ripon’s favor.

LAWRENCE 25. NORTHWESTERN 6.

Til spite of tlie heavy rain which continued throughout Friday and Saturday morning the game with Lawrence col­ lege was played. The field was very heavy and slippery and no solid footing could be liad anywhere. The mud was a great disadvantage for Northwestern; for her players, being lighter, were more apt to slip than the heavy Lawrence men.

Gentz returned the kickoff to Nortlnvestern^ forty-yard line. Our backs were unable to gain any ground and we were forced to punt. In spite of its weight Lawrence could not gain over five yards in the next three downs and also punted. Brandt immediately followed suit with a drive which rolled out to the enemy’s thirty-yard line. Here tlie Lawrence machine found itself aiul tliey started a drive by massing their force on a double shift, which seemed to be something entirely new to our athletes. It took but a very short time and they had crossed our goal-liue for a touch down. They failed to kick goal.

It was now the visitors’ chance to receive the kickoff which their tackle returned to mid-field before being downed.

In one continuous march, using many new :foi.imitious but above all tlieir double shift they again went over for a score, adding another six points to the count.

This was too much for North western’s players. From now on our squad showed real class. They not only lield the visitors but made long gains especially tlirongii aerial passes.

One pass Brandt to Nowack was executed to perfection and netted us twenty yards. Through the line our backs also made timely gains and 'vlien the whistle sounded for the quarter we were only twenty yards from the opponents? goal.

The short rest had reeulivened the Lawrence team and they held us for downs. They punted and battle was resumed in mid-field. Northwestern now opened up with a goodly supply of forward passes. Although many were broken up, more were completed successfully and long gains resulted.

A pass from Brandt to Huebner, which surely would have ^llen short had not a Lawrence man tried to break it up and in so doing knocked it up into the air so that TTuebner could grab it, netted us thirty full yards. We were close to goal but coulcl not score. Neither could Lawrence put the ball across. When tlie half ended the score remained the same as in the first quarter 12 to 0 in Lawrence’s favor.

Second half. Lawrence kicked-off to Northwestern.

Kohli returned the ball to our thirty-yard line. A great pass Brandt to Iiuebner advanced the ball forty yards. Huebner added another ten yards by a line smash. On this play Lawrence illegally held and was penalized ten yards. North­ western was now only ten yards from goal. Brandt went

—188—

anlt through for two yards. Huebner added another two and then through a fake play brought tlie count to six yards.

Siffring took the next and put it over. Brandt failed at goal. Score 12 - 6. This was the first touchdown North­ western had scored in the past two seasons; and also the first touchdown scored against Lawrence by any college with­ in the same period of time.

It was a thing the visitors liad not expected. They im­ mediately began sending in new men to relieve tlieir tired players. The strain of playing on a muddy field soon be­ gan to slio'v itself oil OIU* team. Nevertheless, tliey de­ fended our goal desperately; but before the end of the last quarter Lawrence, who had almost au entirely new team on the field, put ovoi- two more lonclidowns. This brought the score to 25 to 0 in Lawrence's favor.

The practice of improving one’s own methods or condi­ tion by observing others and adopting their good ideas for onrselyes is very old and in universal use. The manufac­ turer sends men to other factories to observe uiethods and conditions tlier<e and perhaps gain ideas for the improvement and advanceine：nt of liis own business. Whenever there is a war, neutral nations send men into the field with the belligerent armies to observe and report any developments that may be worth adopting. Teachers have conferences at which they discuss the problems of their profession and benefit by each other's experience. It is much easier aud less expensive to adopt wliat others liave learned in the school of experience tlian to go out and actually acquire the experience for one’s self.

The same principle applies to college journalism. By comparing our paper with those from other schools we can readily see where there is room for improvement in our own.

The exchange department is our ambassador or representa­ tive at other schools, it is the glass in which we see ourselves as others see us and in which others see themselves as we see tliern. The interexchange of opinions and ideas leads to the advancement of all concerned.

In view of this fact one could reasonably suppose that exchanges would occupy a very prominent place in every col­ lege paper. But in looking over our exchanges we find that this is almost without exception not the case.

Several have no exchange department whatsoever. Just —190—

as surely as a coach who does not follow the developments of his sport can not hope for success, so surely will a paper that relies only on itself for ideas lag behind in the advance­ ment toward perfection. Our advice is that they introduce an exchange department as soon as possible.

Some papers lmve an exchange department that lias no riglit to bear that name, for it contains merely a list of papers that “came during the past month.” Others go a little farther and sav that tliey recognize the value of and appreciate constructive criticism, but never give a word of it themselves. A number of editors actually pass comment on different papers, but tlieir (lepartiiieuts lack force, because tliey fear they might give offence by frankly stating tlieir opinions. They choose rather to speak in generalities, and place more emphasis on praise tlmn on actual criticism. A very few editors go into detail and give tlieir unreserved opinion wliethor it be a commendation or censure. This is the only correct method of handling the exchange depart­ ment.

We may not always agree witli the views of the different editors, because opinions differ as to the ideal college paper.

Some 】ay much stress on the outward appearance of the finished product or the aiTangeincnt of the material. Others pay particuliii. attention to the choice of material. Yet others are inclined to call a paper a failure if it contains a few mistakes in proof-reading. The golden mean should be the ideal for every excliange editor; but these and other extremes teach ns to ]ook at tilings from different angles and thus acquire a more thorough knowledge of the subject.

—The first few days of October Alvin G rubor, prep, 、vas a guest at the home of his cousin, Mr. H. W. Shield, principal of the parochial school at Antigo, Wisconsin. 一Blume, prep, suffering from a severe cold and with a sore throat, unfortunately liad to be confined in tlie sick rooms for over a month. At present lie is at his home in Kenosha, trying to effect a complete recovery. A short time after Blume left, Marti, ’22, took up his abode in tlie sick rooms.

Marti seeks consolation by applying himself diligently to the memorizing of Hebrew verb forms.

—Wilbert Frank, ’25, accomplished no mean bicycle trip, when lie pedaled from Watertown to liis home in Jackson the first part of the month. Later his parents motored to Watertown and spent a day with liim. 一While Karl Koehler, ]n*ep, was visiting relatives and some one else in Columbus, somebody in Watertown was waiting in vain. We wonder liow Koehler explained. ―In tlie first part of October the parents of Norman Sclilavensky, ’25, motored from Kenosha to AVatertown. Because a mere visit did not satisfy liira, they immediately returned to Kenosha with Norman. Sclilavensky tells of a chicken dinner and of sight-seeing in the “old burg.”

—Heinie，’23, Wacker, ’23, Falck, '24, Fulilbrigge, }25, and Knuth and Luer were spectators at tlie Nortlnvestera-Mil—192—

—Ed Neliring and Abie Blumenthal, preps, traveled to Mil­ waukee per bicycle early in October, /ibie’s rear tire caused him considerable trouble, so that he was completely winded, when he readied home.

—The first week in October the Rev. C. Voges stopped off at Watertown to be with Ins son Adelbert, prep, for a short time.

—One fine Octoboi* (lav Slip ITowitt went duck limiting and tame ducks. They tasted fine, blit were so shot four expensive that Slip can’t buy cartridges to go hunting again for some time.

—Dudley Kolida，’22，found it necessary to make a busi­ ness trip to Milwaukee in October. Dud also found time to pay his friends at the seminary a visit.

—On October 9, CJi.uiiwald’s parents and uncle, Rev. E. Grunwald, and Dutch Kleinke's parents journeyed from Fond (lu Lac to AVatertown per auto. For the following few days Dutch lunched on dougluiuts at recess. 一The fans tliat (lid not accompany the team to Milwau­ kee witnessed a good game of football on our gridiron between tlio Quartaners and Smoking Room Sticks. The Quartaiiers, wlio hud |)racticcd regularly, defeated the Sticks, 'vho had had no ])i*actice, tlie score being 13 - 7. That the Quartaners wou the first game bv mere luck was proved by the result of the second game Oil the following Saturday, in which the Quartaners received a drubbing to the tune of 20-6. Undoubtedly (he Sticks' victory was clue in great part to Heinie's spirited cheering from the sidelines. ，一In October the freslimen class lost two of its members, in Arthur Mattil and ^rarvin Bienfang, and the sophomore class lost one in Carl Diez. All three discontinued tlieir studies permanently.

The Rev. “Wliitie” Schroeder, ex. 722, of Selfridge, N. D., sends his friends at Northwestern his regards. They are gladly reciprocated, Wliitie. y-On the first Sunday in October Alfons Engel, ’25，and Wilbert Frank, J2o, bicycled to Hustisford, where they stayed with Mr. E. Bradtke. Kate Siffi.ing, ’23，and Sieglei•，’25, did the same thing a few weeks later. Kate says, “Good —193—

They were given an honorable discharge，and Fred Knoll and Donald Rossin were elected to tlie positions.

—Cutie Krueger, 524, and Grumvald, J24, did not return to Watertown after the Ripon game, but went on to the latter’s home in Fond du Lac, to which place Harry coaxed Cutie by promises of a good time.

—On October 21 Eddie Teut, ’24 and Hubert Sieker, prep, entertained welcome visitors in the persons of their parents, the Rev. C. H. Sieker and wife, and Mrs. Tent, of Burlington. ―Vic Yoecks, prep, spent two Sundays of October in Oconomowoc, one at the home of Ed Neliring, prep, and the other at Jaeger5s home. Vic with good reason considered himself safer at Coouie on liis birthday than at Northwestern.

—Tappy Sponholz, J25, and H. Krueger, ’25, visited with Miss Erma Stebnitz of Milwaukee October 1G. Tappy says by way of excuse, <(War natuerlich audi zu Ilaiise.” _George Rosenhauer’s parents and sister of Burlington gave him a joyful surprise by paying him an unexpected visit one Sunday in October.

—Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Fricke, tlieir two daughters, and Mr. Seifried, all of Aurora, Illinois, visited John Fricke and Allen Blank, preps, on the former’s birthday. A good feed for both and a swelling of John’s wallet were the tangible re­ sults of the visit. ―Tuffy Werner, prep, was present at tlie dedication exer­ cises of the Grace Lutheran Church of Milwaukee after its redecoratioji. Tuffy brought back some chicken, most of which fell prey to his carnivorous roommates.

—Bud Knoll, ’22, Art Gentz, }%22 and Scharp made a record trip to Milwaukee after the Lawrence game. Just before they left, Scharp bought an auto, Bud paid for tlie gas and oil, and Art went along as ballast. They bumped into only one automobile on the way. Sharp and Knoll directed tlieir steps —194r-

to Marquette Normal School, where they spoke with a man who intended to enroll at Northwestern. But Art went to see someone else.

—Horlamns, ’24, made two trips to Milwaukee in the lat­ ter part of October to have his eyes treated. ,一The band piaveel every rlav of the Fall Fun and Bargain Festival, October 20 - 22, in the business section of Watertown. Tay Uetzmann, J21, and Lefty Sauer, ’21，veteran trombone players, came from the seminary and took tlieir old places in tlie ranks.

—Fritz K«aolbor, com. ?21, 'vas seen at Northwestern in the latter part of October. ―Lady friends of both Redlin, ’23, and Hooks Hinnentlial, ’25, journeyed from Appleton ostensibly to witness the Law­ rence game. ―A goodly of out-of-town people witnessed the Lawrcnce-Norlliwestern ??ame. Amon^ them were Mr. Fred Knoll, Sr.; Mr. E. Sclimelin^; Lestor Reuter, ex. J22, Miss Layerne Knothe; Gillv Steffen, ex. ^1, and Tony Scliaefev, com. ’20. There were also the usual nnniber of loyal seminary rooters.

—We hear that of all the students Jumbo managed to get the most lucky mmibors at the Fall Fun and Bargain Festi­ val.

—On October 27 Jacob E. Van Kooy enrolled in the pre­ paratory department. Husky Jake, who was formerly a student fit Marquette, is a valuable addition to the team.

—October 29 proved to bo sometliiii^ more than a homecoming for Gus Krausp, ’22. After having given up all hopes of seeinp： Old Sol for tlio remainder of the afternoon, lie was iiuloert surprised whon tlie Misses Cordula Schneider, Agatha Schott, and Esther T?libel appeared on our campus.

With them came Teddy Heidtke. ex. y22f and Mr. E. Bruss, a former classmate of Gus^ at L. H. S. in Milwaukee. As Room 3 has seen mncli mail since October 29, some of Gus’s intimate friends persist in him about some co-ed.

But Gus says “there’s nothing to that noise” and that he’s <fbeen strinp：inp： them on” for nearly a year. Siegfried Fenske, prep., bus’s cousin, was also remembered by Miss Rubel.

He’s been eating bananas for almost two weeks since.

CHRISTMAS HOPE. Glide on thou dead and dark old world, As (lead tliy sons within tlieir hearts!

Each one is gone his own dark way, Alas! there is no hope — but death.

And yet the grave is dull and damp, Frail Hope could never prosper there Where canker, rot and blight are all. !Nav, lost, lost man, hope lies not here.

But is not fame as strong as hope?

Our fame will live when we are gone!

Be not deceived, fame is not hope, It ends where hope needs must begin.

All woe! for hope is flown away, Driven beyond by mortal sin, Won and destroyed onr earthy sphere

By Satan, sin, and man’s own heart! ，—199—

But lo! the east is bright again: A star! Is hope returned once more?

From heaven it comes whereto it winged From man, for help from God above.

And now the star with dazzling light Spells hope in words of fire on liigli; The Light, the Hope, the Lord, our Christ Is come to save us from tlie grave.

V Hie thee, my heart, far to the east, To Bethlehem that liamlet small, Where just beneath the star of hope A new-born babe lies meek and low.

This child, my soul, is thy one hope: Through faith lie is thy Savior Who long ago by God was clios’n To be thy Savior-lord, thy Christ.

IN PRAISE OF BOOKS. Waldemar Groth, ’22.

ii

'

It was late in the evening. The chilly atmosphere of an autumn night had forced me to seek refuge beside the inviting warmth of tlie blaziug fireplace. And as I cuddled up in the deep, comfortable rocking chair and listeuecl to the wind whistle around the corner of tlie house, I was suddenly brought to tlie realization that tlie (lull wintev months were again approaching and that soon we should have inany a spare hour at our disposal. How can we fill in this spare time to our best advantage? This question was uppermost in my mind, when suddenly gentle sleep weighed my tired eyelids down, steeped my senses in forgetfulness and led me into the fairyland of dreams. And wliat do you ^ink I dreamed? I was standing on a narrow strand between two great oceans—the ocean of Time Past and the ocean of Time to Come. And as I turned to one, looking -—200—

future-ward, I saw notlii ng—nnot even a ripple on the face of the silent, mysterious deep,,which was veiled by an inpenetrable mist. I turned backward to the other sea, look­ ing out across the measureless expanse of Time Past, and, lo! it was covered with sliips. Far on the horizon I saw them rise in fleets which swarmed upon the sea, and in numbers that were greater than I could count they came sailing toward me. An(l wliat a strange cargo tliey carried! They were freighted clown with a heritage of stored wealth. A heritage of gold and silver, of costly silks and rich spices?

No, a far more precious cargo: the heritage of knowledge accunuilated by all the watchers and searchers and thinkers and singers of the generations that are dead. They brought ， me the story of the forgotten life of mankind, its experience, its learning, its wisdom, its warning, its counsels, its consola­ tions, its songs, its discoveries of beauty and joy. And as the keels of the troasiire-laden sliips grated on the sandy shore and came to a sudden stop, I awoke. What a satis­ factory solution to my problem! For the ships in my dream are those carriers of the commodities of mind which we call Letters and Books. What if there had been no ships to bring us these? What if the great ocean of Time Past rolled as blankly aud blackly behind us as the ocean of Time to Come rolls before us? What if there were no Books?

Think of it! Think wliat your state would be in a situation like that! Think what it would be to know nothing, for example, of the way in which American Independence had been won, and the federal republic of the United States constructed; nothing of George Washington; except the little, lialf true and half mistaken, that your fathers could re­ member of what tlieir fathers had repeated of what their fathers had told them! Think what it would be to have nothing but shadowy traditions of、the voyage of Columbus, of the coming： of the Mayflower pilgrims, and of the coloniza­ tion of the New World! Think what it would be to know nothing of the origin of our forefathers, of their customs, of their goyernment and religion! Think what it would be to hqre the whole story of Greece and Rome dropped out of our knowledge, and be unaware that Socrates or Caesar had ever lived! Think wliat it would be to have no line from Homer, no thought from Plato, no message from Isaiah, no Sermon on the Mount, nor any parable from the lips of Jesus!

Can we imagine a world intellectually famine-smitten like that, a bookless world, and not shrink with horror from the thought of being condemned to it? It would be like living in a friendless world. “But lie that lovetli a book,” says Isaac Barrow, “will never want a true and faithful friend, a wholesome counselor, a cheerful companion, an effectual comforter. By study, by reading, by thinking, one may in­ nocently divert and pleasantly entertain liimself, as in all weathers, so in all fortunes.” He who can select a good book and has a taste for reading, can find a garden of peace in the present tumult of the. world. He can find comfort and con­ solation, refreshment and happiness in his library. For a library is a true fairyland, a very palace of delight, a haven of repose from tlie storms and troubles of the world.

HARRY LEE，S CHRISTMAS WEEK. Hilbert Engel, ’23.

: -

Harry Lee could recall better days, and they appeared especially dear to him now because lie was very unhappy.

That was before his mother’s second marriage. His mother was exceedingly kind and noble. She had been very beauti­ ful but bad changed greatly during tlie past two years; deep lines of worry were stamped upon her features: she was not as happy and carefree as she once had been. ITan'y’a stepfather, Mr. Smith, had at first been very kind to his He had worked faithfully, and regularly brought home his weekly wages; but as time wore on, he brought home less money, and some weeks none at all. He told his wife that he had paid debts he had made long agor One evening when Mr. Smith came home later than usual, there was scarcely enough money in the house to buy the most necessary food. He angrily demanded his supper.

His wife quietly asked for enough money to buy a loaf of bread, for she said that she and tlie children had nothing to eat and that there was not a cent of money in the house.

Upon hearing this, Smith became very angry; for he did not wish to be accused of being a poor provider. He wished to know what she had done with all the money. His eyes —202—

f

rested upon Harry and demanded to know、vhy lie was not working.

That night it was decided that Harry must work.

For two weeks Harry applied for work, and night after night lie came home hungry and tired with the discouraging news that he could find no employment. This made his stepfather very angry. Although Harry liad tried his best, he was subjected to his father’s cruel words and biting lash, for he believed that Harry tried to evade work. But Harry's mother pleaded with liim. Slie bogged her husband to be patient, that Harry would surely find work on the morrow.

Thereupon IlaiTy was sent to bed without supper; but after his father had gone out, liis mother would bring him a bite to eat and console him.

Early in December Harry obtained a position in a large department store. He worked from six in the evening until three in the morning, sweeping the rooms and shining the polished brass on the elevators. One night as he was slowly making his wav ho川e, lie saw a figure slip into a (lark nook behind one of the supports of the viaduct which he was about to enter. At the same time lie saw a man enter the opposite side. It was very dark and he seemed to have difficulty in walking. Harry passed the man and had almost come to tlie other end of the viaduct when he heard a tliud, as if a body had fallen, and a cry for help. He wheeled about and ran back to see if the man had accidentally fallen.

What he saw made him hesitate. Two men were grappling on the walk. Ilis nerves tingled and although he had been very tired a moment ago, he、vas now wide awake. He Neither was cautiously approacliod the struggling men. aware of his presence. He was already within striking dis­ tance when a gruff voice demanded money and valuables of the elderly man. IlaiTy’s foot disturbed a stone. The assailant faced about, but too late; for Harry leaped, caught the man off his guard, and hurled him to the pavement. The elderly man arose seemingly unhurt by tlie assault and thanked Harry many times. He asked Harry’s name and address and gave his own name as Mr. Johnson. But Harry’s attention was drawn to the man upon the pavement. Had he not heard that gruff voice before? He thought lie had.

Imagine his horror and consternation when, upon striking a 一203—

t

^

j

match, he .belield his stepfather! Mr. Johnson saw liiis eonfiisibn andJ asked3 the cause of it. Harry quickly told him who the man was and begged him not to call the authorities.

He- told him of Ms mother; she must not hear of this: she was^ unhappy enough without adding any more grief. Mr. Johnson bade Harry wait. In a short time lie reappeared in a taxi. Hairy was，greatly relieved when he saw Mr. Johnson- step' from the car. Somehow he believed this man could hdp Mm. Both lifted the unconscious body into the car and they sped to the address Harry liad given. But liow were they to acquaint Mrs. Smith with the event? As they neared the house Harry saw a light. His mother was still awake.

She was waiting for her husband’s return.

Mrs. Smith started, for she heard a car stop before her door. She rushed to the entrance and beheld two men carry­ ing a body into her house. She was on the verge of falling to the floor, when. Harry jumped to her side and eauglit her in Ms arms. He told her that his stepfather had met with an. accident on the way home. They dismissed the driver and bent their combined efforts to reviving Mr. Smith. Soon he regained consciousness and expressed his surprise that he was not in a cell. Harry told him to be quiet and that it was only through the kindness of Mr. Johnson that he was- not there. But when Mrs. Smith heard this, slie burst into tears and begged to know what had happened. Mr. Johnson wished her to wait until morning, but Mr. Smith de­ clined. He wished to confess all and to take his punishment.

He asked them to be seated near him, so that lie should not be forced to exert himself, for ho was still very weak.

He began by saying that he had taken his last week’s wages from his wife and had lost them at cards. He was penniless and tlirown into the street. He was a Ion汉 way from home, had not a cent for car fare and was forced to walk. While walking he thought of his wife and children. Could he meet Bis wife’s inquiring： eyes? Would there be bread in the morning for his children? Why had he been so foolish and lost all his money at cards? The "men he played with cared nothing for his family. They would not help him. They bad cheated him.

Should he go back and demand his money? He liad never thought of liis vice in this way and it drove him to madness. He must have sufficient money —204—

ixwh ■ ▼-

to feed his family. He had come as far as the viaduct. He saw an elderly man whom he was certain he could force to give him what he wanted. He attacked the man but had been taken unawares and hurled to the ground. His head had struck the hard pavement and that was the last he re­ membered. During his confession his eyes had sought the floor, and now as lie finished his chin rested upon his breast and several large tears rolled down his cheeks. Slowly he raised his head and met his wife’s eyes. One look and she knew that he would never desert his family again. He asked Mr. Johnson what course to take. But this generous old man had already formed his plans. He called Mr. Smith into the adjoining room. There the two remained for almost an hour. Until now Mrs. Smith had controlled her feelings bravely. But now she began to weep. Harry consoled her and encouraged lier to be strong, for in this way she would be a great help in making lier husband a better man. When he came to them, lie came, back a new man. Mr. Johnson told them that all was well and took his leave. Before Harry retired, his stepfather asked him to cancel his present position and remain at home.

Two evenings later, this was the evening of Christmas Day, Mr. Johnson called for Mr. Smith and his family. He took them to his home. How surprised they were to find a Christmas tree with candles and trimmings and that the bags with nuts aud candies were for them alone. Mr. John­ son had no children and felt happy just to see them enjoy themselves.

While the children played, Mr. Johnson revealed his plans to Mrs. Smith and Harry, for Mr. Smith was already acquainted with them. Both Harry and his stepfather were to be employed by him. They were to move into one of hw houses, which was situated in a more pleasant location.

They spent a very enjoyable evening together and before they parted Mr. Johnson gave each member of the family a present. All were very happy as they departed for their house, for truly from this day it was a home.

THE CITY OF MEXICO UNDER THE AZTECS. Werner Franzmann, ’24.

Among the many tribes who in tlie twelfth century —205—

|

^ IRtU |

wandered southward from the far Northwest were the Aztecs.

They came to the Valley of Mexico, wliere they traveled from place to place. After two centuries of wandering they final­ ly settled on the borders of Lake Tesuco, one of the six lakes in this valley. They saw an eagle with a serpent m his talons sitting on a cactus at this place and their oracles interpreted it as a sign of a great future city. They built huts of reeds, partly on the islands of the lake and partly on piles driven into the marshes, for the marshes were buried under water. This was the founding of the Venice of the Ne、v World, for with tlie expansion of the Aztec empire a city was built on this spot that was well qualified to be tlie capital of an empire that extended from the present New Mexico to the Honduras and from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

This city was completely surrounded by Lake Tesuco.

Villages and cities almost hidden by foliage thrived on its shores. Some of them were even built on piles far out in tlie lake. On account of the scarcity of land the Aztec farmers made floating islands in the lake by loading the sediment from tlie bottom of tlie lake on raft-s of reeds and. other fibrous materials. But tlie famous gardens of tlie nobles on the islands of the lake were tlie pride of Mexico. They con­ tained many plants and fruits, beautiful fountains, and large aviaries.

The lake was cut by three causeways or dikes. They were the means of communication with tlie surrounding country. One of them also brought tlie water supply from a neighboring mountain. They were constructed of huge stones, lime and cement. But that tlie causeways might not offer enemies an entrance into the city, they had numerous open­ ings, which were defended by drawbridges.

Many streets were crooked and narrow. Others, how­ ever, were wide thoroughfares paved with cement. Tlie prin­ cipal street, lined by the palaces and gardens of the nobles, extended in an unbroken line from one end of the city to the other. Canals, over 'vhich drawbridges were thrown, intersected the streets at numerous intervals. The canals were tlie chief method of trade and industry and consequent­ ly teemed with tlie canoes of the Indians.

The Aztecs built tlieir houses of a light brittle stone —206—

and unbaked bricks.

These houses, though substantial, were not elegant. They rarely rose to more than one story.

On the flat roof were parapets, which made a fortress of each house, and the terraced gardens. The dwellings of the nobles were quaclrangular, having a court in the center, sur­ rounded by porticos of porphyry and jasper. The most im­ posing buildings, however, were the great temples or teocallis. Though similar to the pyramids of Egypt in shape, they differed in this respect, that the pyramids were constructed of solid stone, while the temples were solid masses of earth covered by brick or stone. They were at least one hundred feet square at their base and probably higher than this. The flat top was occupied by the shrines of their numerous gods and the stone slabs for human sacrifice. The Aztecs had several Inindred temples in each important city.

One of the most interesting features of tlie city was the great market place. It covered more ground than any simi­ lar place in the Old World. It was sniToiiiicled by porticos, in which were the booths filled with various wares. In one booth was a goldsmith displaying his trinkets, in another a potter recommending his various vases. Here could be seen huge stacks of fine cotton cloth, there all the implements necessary to an Aztec soldier. Not only the products of the Valley of Mexico, but also game and fish from all parts of the empire were sold here. And according to the lowest estimate forty tliousand people visited the market every day.

The Aztec kings lived in barbaric splendor. Regard­ less of his rank every petitioner or ambassador had to enter the royal presence with his shoes off. When his suit was answered, he was required to keep his face toward the king while leaving the room. If the king wished to see his people, he was carried about in a litter adorned with precious stones.

He bathed frequently and never wore a dress the second time, but ^ave it away to his attendants. For his meals ho had, besides the dishes of the Aztec culinary artists, tlio fruits of the tropic country and fish from the Gulf of Mexico.

After he had eaten this rich repast in seclusion, he was en­ tertained by his host of jugglers and dancers.

The low palaces of the Aztec kings covered a great extent of ground. Their exterior was often not imposing, bul; — 207— —

fhe rooms had ceilings inlaid with sweet-scented woods, walls covered with fancy draperies, and floors covered with palm-lea^ mats. Around the palace were other buildings oJ! the royal household. There were armories perfectly equip­ ped; aviaries containing all the bird species of the country; collections of wild beasts and birds of prey; and harems with as many wives in its apartments as any Eastern sultan ever There are many doubts concerning the population of the city, but as none of the Conquerors estimate the number of dwellings to be less than sixty thousand, the population can safely be set at three hundred thousand.

One can little wonder, therefore, that the Spaniards were filled with dismay as they beheld the city from a mountain-top, and that tliey entered it with depressed spirits.

iEJuttamb ON CHRISTMAS.

-rr~.r

December comes and. nature dies for the long winter months. The noon-day sun can coax only a sickly shadow from the all dormant outside. The naked trees stand out in sharp silhouette ngainst the white snow-covermg at evening, writhing ana twisting their 】ong arms in frozen a gony in the face of heaven. The moon-queen drives her ghostly chariot up from the east and showers a sheen of light over the glittering world not unlike that of Sirius.

All without is still and cold, hopelessly ghastly and dead.

And yet within, December awakens a gladness and clieer that —209—

：•

I

brightens even nature outside, for it brings the glorious Christmas season.

No matter how humble or wretched the home, at Christ­ mas time a new atmosphere of hope and joy forces its way in. The Christmas tide brings a warmth to the world as no other season can. All gather about tlie steaming radi­ ators, glowing coal-stoves, or blazing lire-places to enjoy themselves together、vith tlieir loved ones, They exchange little gifts and presents and tlieir hearts jumpI〕in (one accord to tlie time of their spirits5 good will.. They can hardly sup­ press tlie mirtli and gladness in their hearts at the sight of the beautifully tinselled and illumined Christmas tree! Tlie hearts of men even swell with such a degree of benevolence that they go beyond the bounds of family circles to cheer the poor and needy!

—But why all the gayety and spirit? It is a custom come down through the long, long ages! Through the many hundred years man has observed Christmas thus. About so much the greater majority of people know. It has always been custom as long as we can remember, and we must keep it up. What a gloomy Christmas, where such spirit pre­ vails! Such Christmas is no Christinas, it is insolent mock, ery. The world is careful not to call the Jew or Moliammedan a Christian, yet many a man persists in calling a season or festival that knows not Christ, Christmas.—Mockery!

Christmas is the annual anniversary of tlie birth of Christ our Lord and Savior. lie should at this time be up­ permost in our hearts. It is of Him that we must think first and not the exchanging of presents, the cozy fireside, and the like! If Christ with his all-saving love is not the one figure in ouv hearts at Christmas, let us pass the twenty-fifth of December by without even a sign of joy and merriment, and thys at least not make fools of ourselves by imitating our neighbor yithout reason. If Christ, however, is your all, up and rejoice! The time is at hand!

—E. GOOD READING. In sound education good reading plays a great part; it —210—

i is a factor worthy to be ranked with effort, study, and con­ centration.

For just as these three practices； cultivate, build, and broaden the mind, reading does too. It enrichens the mind with many new impressions and ideas, which the possessor may arrange in countless new groups and commutations. But good reading showers benefits not only oji the mind, for it also vivifies and colors the imagination. It is seldom that a person meets with a well-read man who is intolerably di\v. Staleness and a vivid imagination have nothing in common. Yet, occasionally there are people wlio read constantly and still derive no benefits from tlieir efforts.

In such case the reading* is not at fault, but the reader; for the choice of books in reading is exactly as important as good reading is iu education.

After one lias decided to read something, lie should not grab the first book he can lay his hands on and then sit down and devour it as quickly as possible. Such action is foolish as well as impolitic. Deliberation and inquiry should precede good reading. When one has made up his mind to read lie should make a careful choice of his book. If he is a fairly good judge of literature, he needs only to take up a book, read a paragraph here another there, note the style in which it is written, the choice of words, the thought, and he is quite able to judge whether or not the book is worth while. If he is an inexperienced reader it is well to inquire of some competent authority as to the worth of the book, or if possible, to read some good literary criticism on the work.

Careful choice in reading saves both time and energy.

In choosing material, we dare not take only books that entertain us, for such books are likely to contain little thought, are likely to be written in second-rate language and to be built up on some highly exciting and improbable plot.

Books of this sort are both nubeneficial and detrimental.

They develop a poor taste for good novels, kill altogether any inclination or liking for good poetry, foster a melo­ dramatic and emotional spirit, and above all build and encourage a careless spirit.

Take up any of the ordinary dime novels or popular short-story magazines on the market; a person of even moderate intellect can read almost any one of them from —211—

cover to cover in the space of an hour or less. The plots are usually so intensely exciting that a person overlooks altogether the author^ style and language and goes on as fast as possible to the next exciting episode. Such is the material that mothers the careless spirit, which in a short time dares not to undertake to read a good novel or above all things a poem which has some underlying thought or idea that effort and intuition must ferret out.

Since reading is such an all-important factor in one’s education, as we have seen, we cannot be too careful about our choice of material and tlie manner in 'vliich vre consume and digest it. It is not at all bad policy to choose only those writings which have been accepted by the literary world, especially those which liave stood tlie test of time，avoiding all the mongrel trasli which is flooding our book-market to­ day.

ALBERTO SALVI，HARPIST—NOVEMBER 25, 1921.

It is with real pleasure that we write about this concert The reason is evident to those wlio heanl Salvi play. Let it be our object here to make it as evident as possible to those who did not hear him. One can readily realize that it is a task to translate the language of universal understand­ ing, music, to the language of our tongues. But, clear readers, let your imaginations rise with us into the higher spheres of Salvi’s art ami you will surely get at least a conception of the nature of the harp’s voice.

Before we say any more about the nature of the concert itself, we wish to remark that we were surprised that so few of our neighbors took the opportunity of hearing such a genius. We wish that those wlio, for various reasons, failed to liear him would have lieavd him. They would have profit­ ed by it. It is true, the harp is a slightly known instrument and people have their misgivings at going to such a concert.

But we found out that the liarp is a most wonderCul repro­ ducer of all music, that it is a worthy rival of all other in­ struments in reproducing it. The news of Salvi’s spell-bound audience has spread like a prairie-fire through the city and surrounding country. Tliere are many who regret that they —215—

have missed the opportunity of hearing that “Wizard of the heard Ssilvi play, we dreamt of eternal peace; we watched tlie liglitning-like rapidity and agility of those skill­ ed fingers, we dreamt we were in a wonderland. Until the evening of the concert, Salvi’s fame was for us an abstract term, we measured it by the fame of other artists. Now SalvPs fame is for us a vivid reality. We will never forget the notes of that concert that threw us into a spell of forget­ fulness of wordly cares and tribulations.

It can be said of every selection on the program that it was very good. But we will mention here only a few of his pieces that struck our ears as especially praiseworthy.

The selection barcarolle” contained a vivid story of a patient longing love, made far more vivid by SalviJs astound­ ing manipulation of tlie strings. At first like tlie lullaby rippling of tlie frolicsome wavelets of a babbling brooklet, it rose gently through the most beautiful chords the brain could conceive, to a sweet passion, and rested finally in rich harmony in peaceful content.

A gripping, fascinating series of rushing runs introduces the Norwegian Ballade.” It takes on form and is wrought} into an exquisite melody of sad craving. The echo answers as in mischievous mockery. It fades away. We hear tlie tumnltnous northern storm-wind combing tlie scattered pines on a lone rocky bluff. There comes a lull in the storm and with the hushed swish of tlie cold night air through its quaking branches tlie sighing pine expresses its longing for peace. The cold nortli answers in sharp rebuke and tlie pine lapses into a last revolting appeal. <rSralse Brillgnte” was a masterful creation of Salyi. It was so sweet, so musical, and so well-rhymed, that it en­ raptured the senses. Queer as it may seem, but truly, words fail to describe that hushed insistent warble and tlie preyading majesty of those sweeping gushes of melody.

The ^anse des Sylphes” fell so light, so airy, so musi­ cally sweet from Salvi’s touch, that before one had caught -those chords, tliey playfully eluded one's ear witli captivat­ ing, tinkling, babbling sweetness and yielded to still sweeter ones. A veritable dance of tlie sylphs was tile piece and ponderously buoyant in melody.

Dvorak should have heard his immortal Humoresque -216—

I etherealized by Salvi. The charming simplicity of the melody was rendered far more melodious by the soothing note of the harp’s ecstatic lavislmess in harmonious chords.

One cannot imagine the rapturous effect of those aching chords of that ^augli with a tear behind it.” They entranced one’s soul. They moved to tears. We never heard applause so great as that which followed.

The right hand of Salvi sang the gentle strain of ^Mother Macliree”； the left offered a rich accompaniment.

The quaint, prophetic trend of “La Paloma” did not pass by unnoticed.

THE CONDITIONS IN GERMANY TODAY. On Sunday evening, the twenty-seventh of November, thfe Rev. Dr. Henry Koch of Berlin, Germany, addressed about seven hundred Lutherans in onr Gymnasium on the conditions in Germany. He was in (Germany during the World’s War and as pastor he closely viewed the sufferings of the poor classes in Germany during and after the war.

He stated that., alt.hoTi.s：li the suffering lias abated a trifle in most parts of Germany, yet the assertion of some of

our American travelers in Germany after tlie war, is incor­ rect, when they claim that the German nation no longer suffers need. If these travelers would investigate more deeply into tlie matter and would observe the life in the narrow streets and alleys of a larger German city, lie claims, they would soon discard their incorrect impression of the situation of Germany to-day. The people with whom these travelers get into contact are to the greater extent warprofiteers, foreigners wlio have plenty, and Jews wlio are still making use of tlie starvation of their countrymen as a source of much wealth.

Restricted to a very scant amount of food, the children become consumptive. Parents cannot supply their children with the necessary food without depriving themselves of the means of living. If lielp and mucli help is not rendered the starving poor at once, the race is in danger of dying out.

Therefore Rev. Koch makes a personal appeal to all Luther­ ans and friends of the starving multitiKles, that they should send help to alleviate this sufferiug.

As to the religious situation of Germany. Altliough the great Reformer, Martin Lutlier, was born in German lands, yet according to Lutliei.’s prophetical words, the Gospel is being taken from his people because of the unbe­ lief of tlieir hearts. Wliere Luther’s praise is sung, it is sung to his Avork of establishing free speech and free thinking and of liberating the German nation from the odious bonds of popery. The professors at the German col­ leges and universities took this as a license to preacli ration­ alism.

In tlieir rationalism they refused to believe the story of the Creation, despised Salvation, and made light of the Last Judgment. They freely preacli these unbeliefs from tlieir pulpits in the churches. Thft attendance natural1.Y dwindles and in the old “Staatskii’clie.” the now so-called ‘^Voljjskirclie，” tlie attendance is alarmingly poor. The ^Freikirche，’’ which alraost alone stands firmly by Lutlier’s dogma, was at the beginning of the war a much-despised and derided band of thirty pastors and forty congregations. But the services in these, churches are now always overcrowded.

This clearly shows that the people still want to believe in Jesus Christ even in tlieir tribulations. But there is great danger that the false teachings of sectarian organiza­ tions will win over many souls. Therefore we need pastors -218-

娜_逍盘j

in Germany to show the way to the Light; money and other necessities to alleviate the suffering; and prayer and sup­ plication to God to make men willing to preach His Gospel and to carry a part of the too heavy burden. Those who are in correspondence witli frieuds or relatives in the old coun­ try should make it their duty to direct these friends and relatives to the aFreikirclie,> and to warn them of the dangers of the “Volkskirclie” and the sectarian organizations!

NORTHWESTERN II. 26 - WAYLAND ACADEMY 14.

Hats off to Northwestern’s second team. They drove away the old jinx “Defeat” and effected the first football victory for Northwestern in tlii.ee full seasons and also the first victory of the second team over Wayland Academy since 1915.

It was the reserves, game through out. But seldom was our goal in danger and when it was our team acted like a group of veterans and held the visitors for downs. They did, however, cross our line twice. ^Neither touchdown was an earned score, for once a penalty put the ball almost on the line, and the other was the result of a fumble.

First half. Northwestern received the kickoff and Engel —219—

returned tlie ball to the twenty-yard line. Our backs could not gain and we were forced to punt. On three tries and a penjdty Wayland gained six yards. They attempted a dropkick but failed, and Engel returned the ball thirteen yards.

A moment later he skirted left end for twenty-five additional yards. Punts were exchanged and we found the enemy on our three-yard line, but our line was too strong for them and they were thrown for a loss. Now our warriors staged a zig-zag march until they came to the center of the field.

Here the whistle ended the session.

The short rest again put Wayland on its feet. They immediately held us for downs, then completed a twentyyard pass; but could do no more. They punted. Our team opened up with, new formations and made five first downs in succession and would have gone farther had not a fumble come in the wav. But Ziemer soon intercepted a forward and brought the ball into our possession aj?ain. A long for­ ward-pass, Knoll to Kleinke, put the oval over for second team’s first score. ICleinke kicked wide and tlie score stood 6 - 0 in Northwestern’s favor.

On tlie seventh play after the kickoff Knoll scored an­ other touchdown, and also kicked goal.

Ziemer returned the next kickoff to Northwestern^ twenty-yard line. The very first play brought the ball into the hands of the visitors when their safety intercepted a pass. Their backs gained very little ground; but two penal­ ties on our side put the ball five yards from 试oal. In a des­ perate attempt the fullback shovecl the ball across. They_ ticked goal, and the half ended 13 - 7 in second team’s favor. .Second half. Wayland received and punted from the thirty-yard line. After six first downs Ziemer smashed through the line for a score. Knoll added another point.

Wayland kicked off. Punts wore exchanged and we were again in possession of the ball. Bowmann recovered a fumble and ran to our goal for the Academy’s second touclidown.

Goal was kicked.

In the fourth and final quarter both teams seemed to weaken, for both were very often forced to pnnt. But toward the end Sharp tore through the line several times for long gains, and finally Ziemer went through center for the last touchdown. Knoll kicked goal.

NORTHWESTERN 0 - CARROLL 7.

Despite the bitter cold weather over one hundred loyal Northwestern rooters journeyed to Waukesha by special car on October 12 to witness our last conference game of the season against Carroll college.

Although our team had had no outside practice because of deep snow, it put up a stubborn and unyielding fight throughout the entire game, and all those who witnessed the struggle were well satisfied with their showing.

First half. "Northwestern kicked off to Carroll and first 'down was called on Carroirs thirty-yard line. Their backs . one after another made short gains through our line. Then their quarterback perfected a fake play which netted them twenty additional yards. They were penalized, could not —221—

regain the lost ground, and tlie ball went over, On our first play Siffring went through an opening for thirty yards. Here someone fumbled and the ball was again in Cari.oll’s pos­ session. They worked their way across the field until they were only fifteen yards from our goal posts. Here they tried a drop-kick but failed. A fumble again put the ball in Carroll’s hands.

After the short rest between quarters our opponents open­ ed their attack only twenty yards from our goal. Fifteen yards were gained on the first play and two more were added on the next. Here our team grew desperate and threw the enemy for a loss. But a moment later Young received a forward from the quarter-back and dropped across the line for the only touchdown of the game. The remainder of tlie quarter tlie ball was kept in mid-Held. As neither team could gain much ground a punting duel between Brandt and Steer resulted.

Second half. It was now Nortlnvestern’s chance to re­ ceive the kick-off, which Brandt returned to our twentyyard line. Our backs began to gain both on end runs and line smashes. One could see that they were still determined to win this game. But soon we were held for downs and the ball again went to Carroll. They could not gain and Avere forced to punt. After an exchange of punts the quarter ended. Our men realized the situation and worked their way to the center of the field where a Carroll playei* intercepted a pass and started a drive for our goal. Through fake plays and passes they reached our twenty-yard line, tried a dropkick and failed. Our squad was barely getting under way when another forward was intercepted by the enemy. They were thrown for a loss while attempting a new formation, and when they punted the final wliistle ended the game. The score remained 7 - 0 in Carroirs favor.

We are well satisiiod with the punctuality of our exchanges. With a few exceptions they are very regular in their appearance. Our many efforts to reestablish comimmication with the Alma Mater, however, have been fruitless. We are still awaiting tlie fall number of the Wartburg Quarterly.

A new monthly has arrived at our exchange table.

“The Columbia News'7 is published by students of Columbia Grammar School, New York. The quality of the paper and the clear print give the paper a very neat appearance. There is, however, much room for improvement in the arrangement and selection of tlie material.

In tlie first place you have no definite departments ex—223—

cept perhaps Literary and Athletics. We suggest that you introduce definite departments and divide the material ac­ cordingly. Exchanges will be necessary to help you improve your paper. A few cuts as department headings would do much to make your paper more attractive.

It is our opinion that you devote entirely too much space to anecdotes and humorous articles. A reasonable amount of humor is entirely in place and should be found in every school paper. But when you devote practically half of your space to material of this sort, we say tliat it is being over­ done. A school publication should not emulate “Fliegende Blaetter,J or <<Punch.,) The original liumor that you have is good; but why drag in witticisms from Judge, Life, American Legion Weekly, and others.

The first article gives tlie story of the Pilgrims. Tlie style is simple, and the facts are clearly presented.

“Climax to the ‘Lady and the Tiger’ ” is really worth while. The plot is well carried out. Tlie story holds the readers interest to the very last.

In “The Pilgrimage to Elizabeth” two members of tlie staff and the faculty advisor make a business trip to Eliza­ beth. Many peculiar and amusing incidents occur on tlie trip. The method of presentation is unique. The reader is constantly kept guessing which one of tlie trio wrote the story. The author fittingly clears this up by referring to a foot-note: <ll wrote this article.” The style is unusual; we thoroughly enjoyed the story.

We fancy the style in which Athletics is written. It is refreshing to read something on foot-ball without the usual sport-page slang.

We welcome the “News” to our exchange list.

COLLEGE SPIRIT Gustav Krause, ’22 AVhat is the essence of that indefinite word we have ac­ customed ourselves to hear of late, that certain uncertainty: college spirit; what is it?

Some months ago、ve read one of our exchange papers in which the editor asks: <cHave you college spii.it?” He goes into details and asks: “Why is it that in every social unit of whatever size, the burden of responsibility falls upon the faithful few?” Why is it that a very small body of men, • very often only a lone man, is responsible for the running of the student organizations? The answer lies close at hand:. lack of college spirit.

When the time arrives that officers for the various or­ ganizations are to be nominated and elected, the average student usually asks himself: ^Whom should I nominate?

On whom can T depend that he wUl be a good leader?” And the answer seems invariably the same: one of the faithful few\ Then again we find students who believe that “fata

anil immota manent'5 and they, like the man who has not stamina enough to say ‘yes’ 01，‘no’，but must needs throw a coin or pull straws in order to avoid any further responsibility, hap­ hazardly cast their vote in the firm conviction that the fates will decide the issue for them. And they do.

It is more than ever due to these people that the literary society, the glee club, the orchestra, or the band of a school at various times is (to nse the slang expression) clown and out. It is this interested disinterestness that dims tlie glow of school life. And again we find these very same people complaining about, the lack of interest here and the great “pull” there.

They are only too ready to criticize; but their inethocl betrays them. We all are b,v nature chronic “kickers”； it should not, liowever, bo our creed: “I’m the only one who knows how to run that 01.棼miization.” The sooner we learn the opposite, however bitter tlie experience，tlie better. There is no position in all the wide world which can be occupied on­ ly by one man, neither is (here any greater delusion than the statement, so often heard: “Nobody can run this office bet­ ter than I.” .

!

；!

Surely, we will admit that some are less capable of hold­ ing offices than others; that some can more readily grasp the fundamentals which lie at the bottom of a successful management of business affairs in the student-body or stud­ ent-organizations ;that the ^faithful few” can bear a great share of criticism from within the student-body as well as from people without the pale who sincerely believe that- they have a very keen insiglit into student-life in general and 011 that account persist in throwing mud. In the end, however, success will be achieved only when tlie student-body enmasse gives its wliole-hearted, unselfish support to the or­ ganizations it strives to maintain.

'College spirit, to be brief, is team-work; coherence. A true college spirit manifests itself in no particular event or sport. It is a spirit which is determined to fight not until it can fight no longer, but until its opponent cannot. It is not the spirit of the “quitter”, the man who usually boasts about doing all lie can. Have you ever lingered long enough 一231—

to realize what he implied and what he quietly enclosed in his own parenthesis?

“It is easy enough to be pleasant When life flows along like a song; But the man worth while Is the man who can smile When everything goes dead wrong.” ^raiiv a promising team of athletes has been ruined by the “quitling” spirit, tlie lack of team-work. A chain is no stronger than its weakest link. But it’s up to every student to keep forging at it, to strengthen it. After tlie chain of college spirit has once grown strong, after it has once enmeslied all who desire to manifest their sincere regard for that wliicli we acclaim Alraa Mater, then it will carry along, even tliough at times with great resistance, all who come within its scope.

Tlie true fruits of a true college spirit are not restricted to the campus. They first show themselves in the class­ room, in the keen interest at lectures; it is a spirit which accompanies the individual primarily and utters itself in the various student organizations secondarily. Its ultimate po'ver, however, as a factor in building up a school, reveals itself in the whole-hearted and unselfish support which the undergraduate and the alumnus gives his Alma Mater.

A STRUGGLE OF LOVE Dudley Rohda, ’22.

Prescott Boulevard blossomed forth in great contrast to the long narrow streets of the city, lined on both sides witli his：h, stiff-lookino： flats; there rolling lawns of velvety green, gaudy here and there with beds of flaming flowers before the roomy mansions of the Avealthy class looked like veritable meadows in comparison to the little spans of grass, burnt brown by the sun, before the smaller homes on the long streets a few blocks away. Chippendale Place, the home of the Shermans, and Balfour Lodge, the home of the Sump—232—

『gnlt免衣J ters, were the two most imposing structures on the boule­ vard.

The bonds of friendship and wealth had held these two families together as long as the oldest raan of the city could remember, and now both families, especially the mothers， looked forward to the day when Lester, the Shei.man，and Lucille, the Sumpter, should be united in marriage. They had been children together and had grown into blooming youth in each other's sight. Lucille had finished school at some exclusive ladies' college in the East, and Lester was in his junior year at Harvard. A regular correspondence kept the two in touch with each other, while one was away. Lately, however, the correspondence seemed to weaken on Lester’s side. His ietters did not come as regularly as they had in the past, and those that came were apparently cool and dry, not bright and cheery as they were wont to be. Lucille con­ fided the secret to no one, for she was sure that Lester Avas too busy with liis work to find much time for letter-writing, especially since some examinations were on. But Christmas brought. Lester back to Chippendale for the holidays. The gay festivity of the season, especially the gorgeous reception given in his honor at Balfour Lodge brought Lester once more to Lucille. Neyer before liad he been the attraction of so much interest among the Sumpters. Four times during his short vacation lie drove with them to the opera. The spacious drawing room and the library of Balfour Lodge were always open and lighted for him, and lie and Lucille spent together the few liappy evenings that the numerous festivities of the season permitted them to have alone togeth­ er. Rut soon vacation days had been carried onward on the wings of time aud Lester returned to college. He left, iu good spirits; college seemed to call him to ev(Mi more pleas­ ant clays than lie had enjoyed in the environment of wealth and luxury to whicli lie >vas bidding farewell. A fact of such grave import could not escape the notice of Lucille, but s^e# mentioned no word to any living soul of the jealous sus­ picion that was growing in iier heart, that Lestev had met someone else at college who was claiming much of Ms time; $at was the reason for the irregularity of liis letters! But second clay of Lester’s absence brought a letter and shaterea the hypothesis that Lucille had secretly erected in her —233一

heart. Lester liad written to her before he had even arrived at college. TTe still loved her!

Although not «an overcon sci en t i on s student, Lester Sher­ man was of genial character. As a member of the most es­ teemed fraternity at Harvard he was liked by all his col­ leagues. He took part in almost every branch of athletics and spent the least of his time at his books; but lie was an intel­ lectually briglit young man and could get along nicely with less study than most of his fellow students. The times that he enjovo<l most, al school were the hours, especially in the evening, when lio was freo From his hooks and his sports_ the hours Uu“ ]Kiiu( over-living picfuros inlo tlie memory of nlinost every vouii^ man at college.

Only a low blocks from L(*stor's iiparlment lliere stood a cozy liltlo liouso of colonial tyj)o. Lcst.oi* liad always adniiml (he snowy whiteuess of the structure, almost dazzling in contrast with the pleasing groon stain of the shingles and llio greon l>lin<1s (lint were novor closed against the wind or the weather. Tin* neat ness of flic entire home and the beauty of the beds of oM fashioned flowers—heliotropes, hollyhocks, a ml marigolds—in tho garden beside the house had ever ap­ pealed to him. And be then lui])pene(l to beoonio acquainted ‘ wit h one wlio livorl witliin the com fori： of those inviting rooms whoso soft, filmy drapings faced the street;—Eleanor, the daughter of )h.. and Mrs. Dorsen, the owners of the colonial cottage.

Although tlio T^orsens bad not the wealth of the Sump­ ter's tlioy wore people of culture and refinement; a home was theirs witli a liappiuess that all the Sumptei.’s millions could never buy. Ami Lucille could not be comjiared with Eleanor in beauty or oliai,acl(,i,. Kloanor was a comely damsel of womanly figure, witli beautiful ebony hail* and deep brown eyes, through which the very truth and faithfulness of her loving soul ])oered out. From her youth she had imbibed the spirit of loathing toward dependence on her fellow being; she herself worked as private secretary to a wealthy manufactur­ er of the city. She fawned on no one and was a woman wi tliout the fickleness and many other frailties commonly attrib­ uted to her sex.—Lucille, aithough not of ugly features, lack­ ed the expressive depth of Eleanor's eye, her charm of per­ sonality, and grace of figure. Lucille had been reared in an —234—

^:Hell j

atmosphere of riches and luxury and had not learned the secret of depending on herself. She was of trifling girlish nature, always ready to fawn and to be fondled, a child spoilt by wealth and extravagance.

After Lester became better acquainted at the Dorsen home and his visits became more frequent, the contrast be­ tween the girlisli, trifling Lucille and the womanly, constant Eleanor developed like the lines on a pliotograpliic papei. ex­ posed to the light, clearer and sharper. He began to feel that he had never really cared for Lucille, that it was the pomp and wealth about her that had drawn him on, and that he was now actually beginning to love Eleanor. And thus it happened that his letters to Lucille became irregular and tinged with a cooler feeling. Now when lie returned to Har­ vard after the Christmas recess, although lie had written to Lucille in a passionate fit of memory of tlie vacation days of luxury, his letters to her grew fewer and fewer as the months passed by. Easter came, but he cliose not to journey home; he spent the greater share of his time in the cozy drawing-room of that wonderful colonial home, near Eleanor and her hospitable parents.

The wonderful spring months flitted by on tlie zephyrs of May and the close of the quarter soon followed.. Lucille's letters of pleading love came as regularly as ever, but the answers were penned hastily and late, in a feeling of cool dis­ regard. The letter that Lester sent a few clays before the close of college must have clashed all Lucille's hopes for the time being to pieces, for he told her pointedly that lie had decided not to come to Chippendale, but to join his mother in Colorado, on her trip to Yellowstone Park and tlie western coast.

His journey to Denver was extremely restless. The en­ tire first two days a fiery debate tore liis heart into a fever­ ish bleeding mass as it seemed. Lucille was there and Elean­ or came after. Neither knew of the other's existence and love for the same Lester. Lucille came, driving her own limou­ sine, attired in a gown of the richest silk, strewn with pearls, with an evening wrap of snowy ermine about her shoulders.

She smiled at Lester and enticed him to follow, but he resist­ ed and she disappeared. Another maiden entered the same secret door of his heart through which Lucille had just on—235—

I tered; it was Eleanor. She came walking and wore a dress of plain soft silk. One look of those unfathomable deep brown eyes of affection brought Lester down before her,一he awoke, thirsty and feverish. lie looked wildly about; neither Lucille nor Eleanor was there, but the battle was still on In in his heart. “Lucille 01. Eleanor?” sounded through his healed brain, and his decision, “Neither!” terminated the angr.v broil. He would forget them both under Western skies!

Anollior day carried the lietwy steel train to the base of (lie JJock.v Mountains and Lester left it at Denver. As it was already ci*»li( o'clock in (ho ovoning, lie rode to the nearest lar^o hotel and I.⑴.tlie niglit. The enemies that had for the las( I'mv days foi'inod a battlefield of his heart wore now hanislKMl anc] !k* slopl in peace until midday. That same afl(»nioon ho left for INicIjIo to join liis mother. When lu» arriv<Hl ( Ihmn* lu* found ( wo Iotloi^ ono from Lucille Sumptor, Uk» otlior from lOlcauor Dorsen. He had given them both his mother's Pueblo address ami tlioir letters arrived but a fow hours lx*Toro him. rI'he Imtlle became iiory once more, but (lcterniinedly Lost or again banished the two contestants. His mollior ofttMi spoko of Lucillo, l)ut lie avoided talking of her nnicli ns possihlo.

As Lestoi* had just come from Denver and wished to •spend a wook or t wo with friends in a mining town, his moth­ er decided (o l(>av(i for Donver and to him there. Then caiuo (lavs of ^uiely and revelry in Pueblo. Wine and whis­ ky flowed I'm'ly in (lio rough little city and Lester drank deep. Ho livo<l (lie same wanton, extravagant life as did his wealthy l’i.k*ii(ls. And in this life ol' wild eating and driuking came a letter from Lucille daily. At first Lester bestowed but little attention on them, but when they persisted in com­ ing, lie could not resist the lovo which they contained! Lu­ cille must love him arter all, ami Eleanor must have forgot­ ten him, for she had written but once! Lester yielded and answered Lm-illo's letter, an answer as lie had once been accustoniod to solid, l'ull of terms of endearinent and love.

When lie loft for Denver, lie sent her his address, and lier letters never missed a (lay.

July had nearly passed wlien Lester finally reached Yellowstone Park. Then came a letter long on its way from the —236—

East, forwarded from Pueblo over Denver, a letter from El­ eanor. It brought news that Mr. Dorsen had suddenly died, and it lacked the burning affection of Lucille’s love-notes.

Lester was sorry to hear the sad news, but he soon forgot it, and decided to write Eleanor a card,—for the last time. Lu­ cille should retake her old place in his heart! He heard no more from Eleanor.

At last the scenes of Yellowstone Park and Washington had faded away and Mrs. Sherman and her son returned to Chippendale. Balfour Lodge was again the scene of a lux­ urious reception and Lester enjoyed every pleasure of old days. Chippendale Place with its massive, richly furnished halls saw him seldom.—But vacation ended and Lester re­ turned to Harvard for his last year. He was loath to leave Lucille and the Lodge this time,一for no Eleanor coaxed him back to college now.

Harvard and college days, once more, blit no Eleanor!

But now that Lester was again in the sphere of thought and memory, a struggle that had slumbered for two whole months broke out anew within him. Eleanor came back just to reproacli him with a look of inexpressible sadness from with­ in the depths of her wonderful brown eyes. Lester swayed once more. Lucille or Eleanor? He could nevermore give up Lucille now! Balfour Lodge would forever be barred to him then. Yet, Eleanor and the little colonial cottage, with its old fashioned flowers! One look would harm nothing!

It was a cool evening in late October and the moon was full in the heavens when Lester chose to walk near the old • loved spot, just once more. The drawing-room of the Dorsen home was brightly lighted, and there behind the soft curtain at the piano sat the beautiful Eleanor, singing. A breeze brought tlie plaintive tune across the street to Lester's ears.

He stopped and gazed into the cozy living-room. Mr. Dorsen’s favorite chair was empty, he could see, and in the rear to the right of Eleanor sat Mrs. Dorsen, near a bright fire of light wood on the grate. The scene and tlie song proved irresistible and unconsciously Lester crossed the street and rapped at the door of the colonial home of the Dorsen^. El­ eanor answered the door and stepped back in surprise, when Lester Sherman pushed his way into the living-room without even a “good-evening.” Not until he sank into the depths —237—

of Mi*. Dorsen’s armchair did he fully realize where he was.

Mrs. Dorsen was as surprised as Eleanor, blit Lester offered an explanation that they were ready to accept for the pres­ ent. They were both overjoyed to see their old friend. As Lester spoke of his trip to the West, a memory picture came up in liis inner soul, lie proceeded witli his story, but incolierently. On tlie screen of his imagination he saw Balfour Lodge brightly lighted ami adorned witli all that money could buy, and Lucille lounged on the great davenport of heavy velour. She arose; he recognized the costly garment of silk and pearls.一Then Jill was gone and he found himself in the (lrawing-rooin of Eleanor Dorsen, stammering and stopping in' liis narrative to Eleanor and Mrs. Dorsen.—Now lie realized once more the happiness and love that encom­ passed liim. Billfom. Lodge meant luxury and wealth, but this cottage moant more―love and a home.

It was tliis very hour that Lester Sherman saw all the folly of his ])ast, of his trifling love for Lucille Sumpter, and lie decided here in favor of the colonial cottage with its old fashioned lieliotropes and hollyhocks, instead of the palace of the Sumpters.

Balfour Lodge was soon in a fury of anger and inclignat.i(川.A(. last, aftor three generations, a Sherman had proved a hypocrite toward a Sumpter, one wliom no one had ever doubted! The two great mansions on Prescott Boulevard broke the bonds of friendship forever, and Lester Sherman was scorned and ridiculed by the society circles where Lu­ cille Sumpter shown brigliter than anyone else. Lester Sherman was even scorned fol* a sliort time by his own fam­ ily, but he cared little; lie had at last won the happiness his inner lieart had always secretly desired—and h-acl never deserved.

THOUGHTS ON WINTER Edgar Hoenecke, ’23.

Winter is victor! A miglity victor! His sweeping paint­ brush lias shaded every tree, every rock, and every dwelling.

Mature has become a sharp silhouette of gigantic propor­ tions against its white background of snow under winters — 238—

icy brush. He lias silenced the noisy gurgle of the rushing brook, he holds them from their onrush and imprisons them ’till spring.

He is victor, but welcome to few, hated of others. Old age and poverty are liis enemies, they fly his pinching touch; youth and prosperity welcome him as a long-lost friend, they recklessly nestle in liis chilly embrace and rest on liis shivering bosom. Old age cannot, and poverty dare not enjoy his liearty enjoyments and pleasures.

Age sees but the rigid idleness of the unkempt soil, it sees the barren trees, it feels the beat less va.y of the receding' sun. Poverty sees its diminishing winter-stores, it sees (lie winter-flower, which is frost', Oil the orarkod pa nos of its fireless dwelling, it hears winter's whistling associate, 11i<、 hurrying nortlnviud, tearing through Hie toH”i.ing cljinmo.v of its dilapidated lmt.

Youth scoffs at the infirmities of old age, tramps with­ out protest over the solid, jarring soil, rifle in hand, sees pleasure and joy in the contrasting bit of white on the dead black of the slee])ing' tree-trunks, seoks the company of <1"、 cold-hearted skating-moon on tlie uncannily iTeaking ice expanse, and thinks of itself alone. Prosperity gloats over its stacks of dollars, hears through double panes of clear plate-glass the creaking of the returning milk-wagon, settles back with a contented sigh into its warm silk bed, thinks what a fine lively old chap winter is, and sleeps on.

Old age and poverty have learned by bitter experience that winter is only hostile to man. He kills luiture, halts tlie production of tlie fruitful soil and drives poverty to suf­ fering from cold and privation. Youth ami prosperity arc wantonly unconcenied about the sufferings of ])overt;,y. How it would smart, what a blow it would be to the fun of youth, to the dreams of prosperity to thiuk of old age and poverty!

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS. With the dawn of another year the old custom of making resolutions for the new year has again sprung up. What countless numbers of good intentions have been moulded into resolutions either written down or engraved in the mind, and what countless numbers of these good intentions have al*reatly within the first half month of the new year been brok­ en!

The idea of making resolutions could possibly be reck­ oned as one of merit, and might actually be of some benefit to the world, if man from nature were not the fickle, weak and inconsistent being lie is in reality. It is an easy thing for man to form good intentions, but to stick close to them, not to deviate in the least from them, is the real task. For example, a man lias resolved to abstain from some habit through the entire new year. He is positive he can do so.

A month or two pass, his resolution is constantly before him; gradually it grows from a resolution into a prohibition and the prohibition waxes defiant and finally dares the man to trespass. Then the true nature of man comes to the surface 一240—

lie cannot be balked by a dare—and the new year's resolution falls like a crystal globe, splintered and shattered.

Broken resolutions may prove dangerously <lostructive.

A resolution once broken proves an acceptable invitation to further transgi'ession and tlie old liabits wliich we were detevminfed to rid ourselves of, return with an appreciable in.crease in indulgence on our part.

Resolutions finally have but one good point to theii* credit; they show very vividly liow inconstant, weak, and inconsistent the superior mortal, man, is in most of liis in­ —R tentions and undertakings.

PHYSICAL CULTURE Physical Culture, a science as old as the very beginning of ancient Greece, lias once more takon root in the civiliza­ tion of oiu* twentieth century. Athletic clubs have been oreanizod throughout our country, institutions l?or physical de­ velopment have been founded, every college of considerable size has acquired a gymnasium of its own and lias entered a course of Athletics into its cmTiculum, aiul nearly every park in all the larger cities affords ample opiiortnnity to the populace for athletic training* of some sort.

With the growth of this science comes a promise: the number of the weak and debilitated Avhicli in (lie past has in­ creased incomprehensibly, will possibly in the years to comf decrease to about one half its present size. But with tlift growth of this science, too, comes a warning: let not man­ kind enshrine Physical Culture as a deity tc ]^e worshipped!

It may seem absurd and ridiculous that man should over so far, but is it altogether improbable?

A man is interested in Pliysical Culture because of tlie pleasure and the benefits to his physical ami mental boing that he derives from his exercises, ;m<l because of t-lip strengthening and developing of the future generation. Such views of this science are wholesome and to man* kind. The old Romans were of like opinion. They 】m(l a sentence, “Mens sana in corpore sano，” and it was correct.

A sound mind should be encased in a healthy, strong body!

-^St511 a most perfect development of the body brings with —241—

it no betterment or redeeming properties for the inner son】.

This is the fact, we nnist ever remember, for it is very easy to become one's own idol, to assume righteousness by virtue oi. one's own perfect self, developed in the slirine of an idol, Physical Culture.

We all owe it to our country, to the future generation, iind to ourselves Hmt we keep our bodies well and healthy as far as this lies in 0111* power. Pliysical culture will help us along. Encourage it, yet where you mark even a mere vestige of idolatry, blot it out, it is dangerous!

MOTION PICTURES The invention of the motion picture camera in photog­ raphy is tho fniit of immoiisurable energy- and experiment, Imt it Ims boon l)l；isle(.l l»v the groed of man for gold. Lust for lucre has tnuisfoi.med an art into an imlustry! During the last (locarle the production of good motion pictui.es lias (logoneratod into an iinlustry wliicli to-(l«*iy ranks as the fifth largest, in the markets of the world, and it is no great won­ der. * We loam from reliable statistics noted during the World AVar that tlio intelligence of the average American adult is that of a fourteen year old boy and that of the female adult not quite so This is indeed an alarming disclosure, and tlic moving picture industry is in great part to blame for these uiiliapp.v conditions. Tlie less tlio modern man has to do the better he gets along, the happier he is. Reading?

The man of to-day would not waste Ins time in reading! It takes too imu.li time—and it is unneccessiiry: the motion picture house oTfors hi川on the screen all he cares for in the way oT UlcM-ature, witli no effort wliatsoevei* on his part.

It were well if tho screen could impart all that the author of tho novels has penned in his valuable volumes, but this is not tho case. ^rere many an author to see the picture of liis book without knowing that it was his, he would hardly recognize it as tlie production of the picture lie had produced on the screen of his fancy.

featured, must necessarily be brightened up. It must be made to appeal to tlie eye of the spectator, it must, be flashy, showy, interesting, and gripping. Even tliough improbabili­ ties creep in, they will never be noticed, they are not looked for by the audience; all they wish is something to feed the fire of the eye, something that holds a brain in suspense, or stirs tlie heart to pity and invokes the tear gates to open.

Sudi trash must be produced, for the masses desire it. It is fed to tlie child from his first years, it helps him to make his first impressions, to form his first conclusions, those that will remain with him to manhood and gray old age. Just these low-brow impressions are dragging down tlie higher ideals of om* nation.

If the picture producers would portray people, things, and happenings as they are in actual life and not pander to the taste of the illiterate classes with all sorts of gripping, fantastic improbabilitiesďź&#x152;the production of motion pictures might once more tend to elevate t.he ideals of a nation and climb from its station among the industries to a throne aä¸&#x20AC;R. moug the arts.

Note Dr. F. W. A. Notz

!.

The Lord of the Vineyard called to His vest a no I her one of his faithful servants. Doctor Notz was professor emeritus of Northwestern until his death last December. When lie was still actively on the faculty of Nortlnvestern, lie was pro­ fessor of Greek and Hebrew. Here in these branclies lie showed his' conscientious fidelity. Into the great multitude of students who sat under him he imbued this one great truth: “Be faithful.” Although liis fame readies far and wide wherever the educated are appreciated, yet his greatest praise must still he that he was a faithful servant of his Savior.

The Doctor was born in Wuerttemberg, Germany, the son of a Lutheran pastor, Gottlieb Notz, Feb. 2, 1S41. He received his fundamental training from his father, also spending some time at Leonberg and Stuttgart. Already in his early youth he proved to be a promising scholar. For four years lie was a student at Maulbronn, to enter which a severe competitive examination had to be passed. After he pursued his studies at the university of Tueh^igen theology, philosophy, and philology. In 1863 he received liis degree in philosophy. For several years lie served as vicar in his father’s congregation, then he became private tutor in the family of the Count of Gersdorf. In 1S66 lie accepted a similar position in Georgia. In 1868 lie became professor of

叶口

German in Pennsylvania College at Gettysburg. In 1869 he accepted a call to Muchlenberg College at Allentown, Penn­ sylvania as professor of German. At this time he became acquainted with Key. J. Badiug and Rev. R. Adelberg and soon hereafter, in 1872, lie was called to the faculty of Nortli'vestewi. After lie had faithfully and conscientiously served the institution for forty long years lie was compelled to retire from his work in 1(.)12. He lived with liis family iu Milwau­ kee from this time on until his death last December.

He is survived by a son and three (laughters. The son, Dr. William Notz, formerly a professor at Northwestern, now occupies a pi.oiiiiiumt position in the government at Washington, D. C. as chief of the Foreign Department of the Federal Ti-adc Commission.

After a short funeral service at his late home in Milwau­ kee, the body of the deceased 'vas brought to Watertown. At the funeral service here in St. Mark's churcli his former scholar and late ])Jistor, the Rev. Gausewitz, of Milwaukee, tendered soothing consolation to the mouniers in a sermon which sang： the pmises of Him who makes His servants brave to stand before the world and testify of TIis great redeeming Love.

MILWAUKEE LIEDERKRANZ CONCERT To c-liase away, as it were, the rising clouds of home­ sickness tluit (hroafened to nmke the last days at college miserable for the studeuts, the Milwaukee Liederkvauz offer­ ed its program to be rciulored at the Gymnasiuin, on the last Sunday aftornoon before the Christinas recess. Of course the , homesickness-cure was only an accidental coincidence~~the Liederkrunz was pursuing a higher ideal when they came to Watertown.

As we well know the Liederkranz has been busily active in its charity work (luring and after the Great War, laying especial stress on alleviating the sufferings of tlie poor Ger­ man children. Such a work of love is indeed a high ideal.

We have heard but lately from the Rev. Koch of Berlin, Ger­ many, liow the helpless children oyer there are innocently suffering the bitter pangs of hunger and starvation for the —246-

petty envies and jealousies of unfeeling statesmen. To help lift this burden from the weak tottering infants the Liederkranz came and turned all proceeds over to their praise­ worthy cause.

Although the price of ad mission was an insignificant sum, still the program rendered can be milked next to the other great concerts we heard liere this year. Originally th« program was made up solely of selections by the Liederkranz.

Then Miss Gustel Hansen, a Avell-known Gerimm intcM-protor and declaimer, offered her services. To anyone, who had ever heard the Liedevkranz or who lias had the pleasure to sit in Miss Hansen’s company, this program would have been rich enough. But it seems as though more support was intended for the poor children of Germany. For during tlie week pre­ ceding tlie concert Karl Joern returned from a concert-tour in South America. Upon heaving of the ])i-oject of the Liederkranz lie seems to luive been pleased with the idea of aysisting in this noble work, exj)rcssing liis wish to accomjjany the Liederkranz. Since everytliin^ liacl lK;(m pi.camiiigctl 11() decided changes could be made in the and t hoxe additional numbers wore simply to Mii» full i>ro^rain.

Thus it happened that the program of tlie Licderkranz was interspersed with selections by the great. (German tenor.

The program did not strike ua at nil as a yerv formal affair. Things weut on so smootlilv and congeniall,y that ouc really felt much at home. The tenors ol' the Liederkranz de­ serve high praise. We were surprised at the cii«y grace of their singing. When the director called for a swell the tenors replied as one man. In the most profound pianissimos they sustained their 'tone beautifully and liarmoniously ])iire. can well realize what credit one deserves who so success fully leads such a large chorus.

• Miss.Uansen became our friend at once. Her first reci­ tation was a pleadiug cry to the Gcnnun-Ainorivans espec­ ially in our country to fill tlie torn tattcriMl «l'.oe wliich she lia(l drawn from a (juivering, smarting little foot of a stai.vnjg German tot. Later on she read some comical poems in Orermau, which met with unanimous appreciation ainom；' her listeners. " • The tenor solos of Karl Joern! They hardly need our praise. Have we not of late heard tlie remark that without —247—

t

doubt Karl Joern is next in rank to the late Caruso in inter­ preting the passions and sentiments of his selections? His enunciation was practically faultless and the power of his resourceful voice remarkable.

NORTHWESTERN 20. MILTON 0.

Finally wo may also credit our first football team witJi a Although the victory was not over a conference team avc are still proud of it, for it is the. first that we may celelnvito in many years. Milton, a prospective member of tlui “Little Five” foi. the 1922 season, took the punishment.

From start to finish they fought hard and desperately but ••oulcl do little against their more experienced opponents.

Nortlnv^stern won the toss and kicked off to Milton.

First down was called on their forty yard line. They could not gain and the ball went over to Northwestern. On au attoin])t(»d forward pass we were thrown for a heavy loss ami us this was our last down the ball was again trnnsferred to Milton. Tlii.ee times in succession they gained tlieir first ilown and would have gone farther had not Brandt intercep­ ted a pass twenty yards from our goal. After an exchange of punts it was North western^ ball on her fifteen yard line.

Here our team started its first real drive of the game. Sif-

fring went through the line for eleven yards, immediately Brandt followed witU another seventeen, then a forward to jSTowaek netted us fifteen more. The next pass was blocked .by a Milton man, but before the ball had touched tlie gi.ouiul Van Kooy had recovered it and added a few more yards to our gain. Huebner then covered thirty-five yai.(ls of the enemy territory and put the ball in such a posU.iou tliat Brandt could carry it over with ease on the next play. Goal was missed.

We kicked off. Play was resumecl in the centci* of the field. Milton again found our line too strong and limited over our goal. On the very first play Norllnvesteni WllS penalized for holding. This put us in sucli a position tluit we were forced to punt. After our opponents lmd advanced a few yards they attempted a (lrop-kick which failed. Here Northwestern started its second long drive of tlie game. Tliey advanced the ball to within thirty yurds of the goal only to lose it on ail attempted drop-kick. Milton ] mu ted and it was our ball in midfield. A pass, Brandt (o ITucbiier, cov­ ered thirty-five yards and another to Gentz brought us with­ in five yards of goal. Here the whistle ended the half.

Northwestern received at the begimiing of the second half. Oil the first play Milton intercepted n pass, I111 inertiately they were penalized for holding. In the next four downs they could not regain the ground tliey Iiad lost and consequently the ball went over to us. Siffi.ing gi.al)l)ecl the next pass and covered thirty-five yards before hein.i*' downed On tlie following play a Milton man intercepted tlio pasb au(l ran over one half of the field before Vtin Kooy caught him. It was the speed of Van Ivooy that saved ns from liav ing a touchdown scored against us in this game. Here out team seemed to find itself. Three times they threw the ene my for a loss and the fourth down Brandt intercepted a for ward. After several unsuccessful lin^ plmmes Northwestern punted. The Milton safety fumbled the catch which Gentz recovered and took over for om. second score. J^rundl again kicked wide.

Milton again received tlie kickoff. Tliev tried hard to advance, but our line was too strong, and tliey had to punt.

We had to do tlie same; and when the safety fumbled, it was our ball on their forty-yard line. A twenty-five yard —249—

BASKETBALL Once more that glorious season of lmslcetl)a】l is fit hand.

Once more tlie four collegiate dass-tca^ns are liard at work whipping themselves into shape for the annual basketball tilt to decide which one of the four is to be hailed the college —250—

champion. Probably by the time you will read this column the title will be cinched by one or the other team; but we do not believe that this will be the case, as all four classes boast of a winning team.

The Seniors, under tlie guidance of Ca】)t, Brandi, and Mgr. Palmer, with the assistance of Kuckhalm, Oentz, Voigt, Knoll, Albvedit and Grotli, believe they have a toani fit. to beat all coiners.

Otto Henning, captain of Ms class tea川 during- t wo ])revious seasons, has again been elected to pilot tlie ’23 squad.

He will pick his quint from the following players: lledlin, H. Engel, Siffi-ing, Lelimaim, Sclinitker and Marquardt.. Mgr. Prenzlow of the Juniors predicts a very ftivorable seaKon for his ch«*ii*ges.

In Eddie Tent the Sophomores believe they have the man wlio will lead tlieir cagers to victory. Men wlio are trying out for positions on his team are: Kleinke, Wahl，Oamni, Grunwald, Weissgerber and Schmidt. ITabeck will mark score for the Sophomores.

The Freshmen have chosen Fred Iluebner, former Wat­ ertown and later all-state high school guard, to guide their representatives to tlie pennant. A. Engel, Siegler, Fmnzmann, Niemann, Gruendemann, ITalin ami tlie captain will compose tlie Cardinal and White team for this year. As manager they have appointed W. Frank.

ATHLETIC BOARD NOTES The board of Athletics has accepted new official football and baseball “N”s. The new football “!N” is the old black letter (G in. by 6 in.) with a ml border one eighth of an inch wide. To distinguish this letter from the baseball “N” the Board lias accepted the black letter with a red shading on the left edge for the baseball letter.

A few changes have been made in awarding the official letter. Football “N”尽 shall be given to all players who have played two conference games or tlie equivalent in time (120 minutes). Under extraordinary circumstances, when a playei* is prevented from playing the required time by circum—251—*

I stances whidi are beyond his control, the board may, upon recoinniendaI ion of the coach, grant the respective player the official letter.

Baseball “2s”’s shall be given to all those who have play­ ed four full games, with the exception of the pitcher who must have phiyed tlu-ee games or the equivalent in innings.

If a j)lay(*i* is |)i*evon(c(l from playing the requiml time by liis control the boai*d may, upon the rvM*oimm?mhu io?i of 11k* concli, grant (he respective playei. the ori'icijil “N”.

In general the Christmas numbers of our exclmnges con­ stitute an attractive and well worth while assortment of col­ lege publications. Very nearly all surpass in noatuess and general merit their standard of former immtiis. It is quite natural that the spirit of the season should impel every­ one to put forth liis best efforts.

Several schools published wliat might be termed a s】)ec. ial Christmas numl)er.

Ordinarily The Houghton Star, Ilougli (on AVesleyau Methodist Seminary, Houghton, N. Y. is a modest three-pago pamphlet The Christmas number takes on the pvojjortiouH of a magazine that compares favorably with the monthly publications of other schools.

The literax*y department is rather lengtliy in comparison with the remainder of the paper. Some of the columns, iu particular Exchanges,could have been developed mor<j fully.

If this were the regular edition we. should go more into detail and perhaps have a few 11101*0 suggestions. As it is, suggest and advise that The Houghton Star follow the ex­ amine of other monthly publications and adopt the magaziue form.

The pamphlet can bear no comparison with the magazine iu neatness, attractiveness, and lasting quality. The increas­ ed space available for literary matter affords opportunity for —253— 。

moi*e aiirt better articles and stories. The several depart­ ments also can be made more prominent. Durability or last­ ing quality is a valuable asset, to a college publication. When our selloo!-days are over and we are out fighting life's bat­ tles; tlion m .shall often bid momory carry us back to the wonderful days speul at our Alma Mater, then a file of old col lego journals will iiuloed bo a jiriceless treasure. No one would tliink of saving a pai*M,v torn 】mppi. or pani])Jilpt; but one inslinclivoly lias ilio Hi at a neat 川 asazine is too good (o I)p thnnvn away.

Tli<» DcconilxM* Star sIiowr that von are cajKiblo of puttiiig out ；i ]>nj)(»r that is truly worMiy of yom* school.

Poolr.v sliould build an essentinl ]>art of a college ])apei*.

It： is much 11101*(' hoautiful and better adapted to impart deptli of Mian is prose. We believe that every student who ])as jiny ])i-(>ri(*i(»n(*y in \vntinf»; should try his luuul at vei*so. A\'iov ojk* lias writton ])oetry himself, he can more easily midi rslaiul nnd apjurdalo the works of masters like Sliakcsponro, (iootho. Milfoil, and Shelley.

Our old l.ri(、川1 The Spectator, Capital University, Co­ lumbus, Ohio, very agm?aM,v sui.pi-isecl us with its unique Deroni 1)(*1* munluM*. 1( i.s d(»voted almost entirely to poetry.

All the (h'jKirtnu-ufs excej)t exeluuiges are omitted. Select poems from ])a]Hii*s are collected under the exchange heading.

We sluill not pose as a critic of poetry, but shall consider only tho pros^ part of the magazine.

The article on student ))oeti*y dearly presents the bene­ fits recoivcMl tlnongh \vi*iting' poetry. The amateui. poet comes to recognize and esteem good poetry and at the same time transmits to others liis foelings and ideas. His writings also tend to inst ill the desire for writing poetry in others.

Tho (IcvoIcmI to the biograpliies of the contributors certainly is a valuable addition. One instinctively turns back and rereads the several poems after becoming acquaint­ ed with their authors.

The Spectator lias always been one of om* best exclianges.

The day of closing fov Christmas vacation came, the few (lays of freedom from classes, text-books, ami compositions passed by with surprising quickness, and the day of return­ ing was there before we knew it. The change from the hard monotonous life at school to a life of complete relaxation anil freedom at home has given us ambition, determination, and endurance to go at the、yoi*k of the second term with vim.

Strengthened in body and refreshed in mind we left om. loved ones, and again took up our abode in the dormitory. We get in the morning, eat, go to classes, study, drill, rehearse jyst as before. Memories of vacation grow dim and fade until we are hardly aware of the fact that we had a vacation.

About the middle of December Waldemar Rupp, ’24, broke his nose while playing basketball. The fracture has grown together nicely.

Dudley Rolida’s mother and aunt lieard tlie concert ren­ dered by the Liederkranz in our gymnasium, December 18.

Only two students, Herman and Albert Kauber, preps, from Alabama, remained here during the Christmas recess.

Many students who lived too far away to go home for the short holidays visited with fellow-students or with relatives.

Bill Sadis, prep, went home December 10 on account of 一256一

illness. After tlie holidays he returned on time, as Avell as ever.

DIE HEBIAT. Venus Winter, ’22.

“Well dem, der fern von Eltern und Geschwistern Ein einsame Leben fiihrt! Ihm zehrt der Gram Das niichste Gliick vor seinen Lippen weg, Ihm schwarmen abwarts immer die .Gedanken Nach seines Vaters Hallen, wo die Sonne :Zuerst den Himmel vor ihm aufschloss, wo Sich Mitgeborne spielend fest und fester Mit sanften Banden an einander kniipften: “Kann uns zum Vaterland die Fremde werden?” 1st es moglich, dass einer, der sein Heim Oder sein Vaterland verlassen hat, dasselbe ganzlich vergessen kann? Dringt nicht ein 丨Geftihl der Wehmut in einen der jahrelang in der Feme gelebt, und der dann zuriickkehrt zu dem Schauplatze seiner kostlichen Jugend, zu seiner Heimat?

—259—

.

I i

Dise Fragen kami nur jemand ordentlich beantworten, der langere Zeit entfernt von seiner Heimat zegebracht hat. Der Mann, der nie in seinem Leben auf Reisen gegangen ist, sondern stets zu Hause bleibt, spiirt eigentlich garniclit die vollste Bedeutung seiner Heimat. Ihn hat niemals die Sehnsuclit nacli Hause gefasst. Der weiss nicht, was Heimweli ist.

In der Heimat steht unser Elternhaus, wo wir am besten geflegt wurden und doch am meisten klagten. Wir erfahren nicht, wie gut wir’s da gehabt, bis wir eiiimal in die Feme mussen. Mag das Elternhaus noch so arm und einfach. sein, mag der Ort, wo sicli unsere Jugend zugetragen hat, in einer wohlbevolkerten Landgegend sein, auf den Prairies Oder Gebirgen Oder in den Gassen einer grossen Stadt—das ist das Haus, das Land, in dem wir unsere hochste Preude fanden, das Land der goldnen Jugend—unci ein Mensch, der irgend welcli Gefulil in sich hat, vermag es nicht, dasselbe auf ewig zu vergessen. Wenn einem Manne die Fremde aucli mehr Reichtum, mehr Gluck und viel Zufriedenlieit bescliert, auf einem Besuclie in seiner alien Hei­ mat fuhlt er sicli doch noch viel woliler und glucklicher.

Wie sieht man nicht zu Anfang des Scliuljahres die neuen Ankommlinge ins Kollege so stille und betrubt dasitzen, oft mit Tranen in den Augen. Das Heimweh hat sie gepackt. Sie denken an ihre Eltern und Geschwistern.

Heimweh ist keine Untugend. Die alten Griechen um Troja sehnten sicli nach ihrer Heimat. Die Heldin Ipliiginia weilte tiiglich am Strande von Tauris und schaute libers Meer, “das Land der Griechen mit der Seele sucliend.” Dalier auch die vielen Gediclite, in der die schone Heimat besungen wird; solche Lieder finden wir besonders in der • deutschen Sprache, aber sie sind auch in der amerikanisclien vorhanden. Sehr wahr singt der eine Dicliter: “there’s 110 place like liome.” Und der andere spricht: Nacli der Heimat moclit ich wieder, Nach. dem teuren Vaterort, Wo man singt die frohen Lieder, 'Wo man spricht ein trautes Wort.

Doch mein Schicksal will es nirnmer, Durch die Welt ich wandern muss.

Trautes Heim, dein denk ich immer, Trautes Heim, dir gilt mein Gruss.

Sei gegriisst in weiter Feme, Teure Heimat, sei gegriisst!

JSOT ACCORDING TO RULES. Frederick A. Hahn, ’25.

The clay of clays, Tuesday, July sixteenth, although long in coming, had at last arrived. Our club, the Knights of the Fin, true followers of Izaak Walton, was about to realize its fondest hope, a two weeks’ fishing trip to Cold Lake!

The sun had not yet risen when President Aloysius Brandt (A1 for short), Phil Wake, the club orator, on whose father’s land we were going to camp, iGeorge Taylor, and myself had congregated on the railroad platform in the mists and dark­ ness of early morning, loaded with bags and satchels, pots and dishes, and grub and FISHING TACKLE! We caught our train, enjoyed a delightful and interest­ ing ride, and finally arrived at our destination, ‘‘as the crow flies”. After a hearty dinner at the Hopkins Hotel (which was the barber shop, grocery, meat market, and general merchandise store combined), we adjusted our packs and cut across country at a double quick trot. We reached our camping site with no greater mishaps than the breaking of a few dishes, and the chafing of four pairs of weary should­ ers. Through hard labor (we called it fun), we pitched our camp fairly well before nightfall.

I shall not describe that first night in the open. Even now I squirm uncomfortably when I recall it. The Knights will never forget it! Most unfortunately, we had forgotten something important, something vital. At any rate, we lived through that night, and before the first grey of dawn, we located the mosquito netting which Phil’s mother had put into his knapsack against his wishes, cut it into four pieces and laid it reverently at the head of four beds.

After we had put our camp in order, each of us brought forth his fishing weapons for review, and formidable weap­ ons they were. Piscator himself would have been at a loss to decide who was not the Complete Angler! Such an array of sharp, bristling hooks camouflaged by brilliant, gaudy feathers, and hard, gleaming enamel has never yet been equalled in a hardware window display. We were complete­ ly surrounded by plugs and wigglers, spoons and wobblers, steel poles and bamboo sticks, reels, anti backlash and level winding, free spool and quadruple multiplying, landing nets and gaffs, pickled frogs and preserved worms, sinkers and corks, and hooks and leaders. In short, every delicious mor­ sel devised by ingenious man for the repast of the hungry fish could be found in our dainty and enticing larder.

—261— —

Our first task was the choosing of fishing partners. We avoided all dissention by drawing lots; luckily I drew Phil, who, although he had not been up to Cold Lake for two years, knew the holes better than the rest of us. As George and A1 chose the morning and afternoon fishing, we were forced to be content with the evening, because someone had to remain in camp. They pushed off threatening to exhaust the supply of fish, but Phil grinned rather mysteri­ ously, and I remained silent. Throughout the morning and afternoon Phil kept that mysterious, grinning look on his face while we worked silently, banking the tent, unpacking the “vittles”，digging a fire place, and building a rock pier.

About four o’clock, as I gazen over the lake, I discov­ ered a dark speck which gradually grew larger, and seemed to be moving directly toward us. Soon we were able to make out George and A1 rowing with the long, steady strokes of victory. Before they had landed, George held in view the reason for their haughty, proud, superior feeling— a string of beauties. Their stringer held four pickerel which I judged to weigh from five to seven pounds each, and eight bass averaging from three to five pounds! I congratulated them on their wonderful catch, at the same time feeling a little downcast and jealous because I knew that we could not equal that string in an evening’s fishing. Phil, how­ ever, grinningly remained silent, and gazed over the lake with a strange .knowing look.

We ate a hearty supper consisting of bass, fried pota­ toes, canned peaches, bread and butter, and coffee. After the dishes were cleared away, Phil and I gathered together our tackle and pushed off.

It was a beautiful evening. The lieat of the day had given way to the chill of approaching darkness. The sky was a little cloudy, and a light breeze rippled the surface of the water. A lake on an evening such as that can be characterized only in two words—a fislierman’s paradise.

I tied a number four spoon hook on my line and trolled it slowly in the dark, placid water behind the boat. Pliil rowed with quiet, even strokes, and both of us remained silent for a few minutes. Gradually I began to realize that Phil was rowing steadily toward the opposite shore, and I glanced at him with an inquiring look. At the same in­ stant, my pole was jerked out of my hands and my click sang out like mad! I quickly regained my pole and began to reel. I had a fish, and a big one! The thrilling fight lasted for over ten minutes, and when I reeled my tired —262—

邀I quarry to the boat, Pliil with a deft sweep of the landing net lifted liim in. He was a beauty of a pickerel; I judged him to weigh about eight pounds.

While I was putting him on the stringer, I noticed that we were slowly coming to a stop, and looked up at Phil. Pie quickly signalled silence and whispered: “We’re in Devil’s Bay. Init on that new Superba Wobb­ ler you sent to New York for.”

Reluctantly I obeyed his command and replaced my trusty spoon with the shining red and white wobbler. ‘‘Now throw it next to that patch of weeds and shut up!”

1 threw it with a beautiful, long cast, and reeled i. slowly through the dark water which was about eight feet in depth. It reached the boat without a mishap.

“Throw it into that light spot over there!

Phil comnianded again, pointing toward a mossy, shallow spot about fifty feet from shore.

The wobbler sailed through the air without a backlash and landed beyond the chosen spot. It struck the water with a loud splash—then somelhing happened! Immedi­ ately I forgot all about fishing. My pole was requiring my entire attention. 1 was hanging oil for life itself. But gradually I regained both my senses and the control of my pole after the first fright, and 1 faintly heard Phil calling, “Give ’im the slack; keep ’im out of the weeds; don’t let The Devil shake it!”

Now for the first time I realized wliat the trouble was.

I had hooked something big, something alive, something terrible—a monster pickerel! I saw him now racing madly through the water as a sperm whale plunges in terror to­ ward mid ocean when it feels the cruel barb of the harpoon.

Again and again I gave, him the slack, and again and again I reeled up a few feet of line only to lose fifty more as he sped out toward the deep. Luckily my opponent stayed in the open water; he spurned the weeds; this was going to be his fight—a clean fight, fought in the open to the finish.

My wrists were stiff, my thumb was bleeding, and my fingers became raw ancl cold from controlling the wet line. Sud­ denly the savage tug ceased. I had lost him! No, lie was still there, for as I began reeling slowly, I felt a dead weight at the end of my line. I reeled and reeled, and as he grad­ ually neared the boat, Pliil rose with tli6 landing net in his eager hands, ready to land him. Immediately the dark form at the end of my line stirred. It slid to the surface, opened its black steel jaws, and with one mighty shake sent my “bookless” wobbler sailing through the air. I rubbed my —263—

strained eyes and looked again一my quarry had vanished.

I sat down with, quivering knees, and gazed sadly at the water where that dark form had last appeared. I felt a hand oil my shoulder, and heard Phil’s friendly voice, “Don’t bawl, old boy; you did better than a lot of us.

I wanted to give you a taste of real fishing; so I took you for a round with old Devil Dog. He doens’t fight like they do in books; he doesn’t scrap according to rules set down by a Doctor Henshall or a Dixie Carrol; he simply tears you to pieces. Old Devil Dog’s made a fool of every fisherman tliafs hooked him. Clieer up! He’s licked better men than you. lie’s still the ‘king of the raff, the patriarch and ruler of Devil’s Bay.” Somehow, deep down in my heart, I was glad that black old Devil Dog was still master of liis home, the bay.

—F. A. II. “EILIPODAS ELIKAS BOUS.”

:

Die Zeit ist 450 v. C., der Ort eine Volksschule in Atlien.

Hier sitzt an diesem sonnigen Morgen der Herr Professor Aristophanes vor seinen Schulern und liest mit ihnen Hom­ ers Odysee. Im Hintergrunde hallen sich die Aethiopischen Padagogen auf, die ihre jungen I-Ierren zur Schule gebraclit haben, und jetzt auch sogleich als Polizisten der Ordnung und Disziplin in dem Scliulzimmer fungieren. Aber lieute sind sie niclit genotigt, ihres Herren Solme oft zur Ord­ nung zu rufen. Denn, o well! eine schwere Last der Scliande liegt auf ihren sonst so begeisterten Gemutern. I-Iaben sie nicht in der Odyssee von! den “eilipodas elikas 13ous” gelesen ? Und sie, die docli alles wissenden Griechen, liatten ihrem Lehrer keinen befriedigenden Bericht uber diese Bestiae abgeben konnen. Kein Wunder, dass sie jetzt mit niedergebeugten Kopfen sitzen. Kein Wunder, dass sie jetzt alle Sinne anstrengen, 'vie sie doch niiheres iiber diese Rinder erfahren konnen, um diese grosse Scliande wieder auszuloschen. Aber wie denn? Das ist die Frage.

Alles ist mauschenstill.

“Es wolinen wohl keine Leute in dem Lande der “eilipodas elikas Bous”，sonst konnten wir von ihnen die notige Auskunft erlangen”，sagt ein Bursche und ltlsst seine Finger langsam durch seine langen Haare fahren.

“Und Homer lebt leider auch nicht melir”，fiigt ein zweiter pessimistisch hinzu.

—264—

I

^ :Hea 】

Alles ist wieder mauschenstill.

Da hebt ein Schuler, der sonst niemals, wenn es antworten gilt, von sich horen liisst, seine Stimme und deklaEs steht fur uns miert in einem lauten, stolzen Tone: kein andrer Weg offen, als dass wir ein Komitee ernennen und diese auf eine Kundschaftsreise ausschicken, damit sie personlich zu erfahren suchen, wie es denn eigentlich mit diesen ‘eilipodas elikas Bous’ steht”.

•Richtig”，stimmt der Lehrer ein.

“Richtig”，stimmen alle Schuler ein.

Wer soil aber diesem Komitee angehoren? Dies ist die Frage, (lie jeder Schiiler leise sich selbst stellt. Jeder will natiirlich eiiier von den Gliicklichen sein und, um einen sicheren Streit zu vermeiden, wollen sie ihren Lehrer entscheiden lasseu.

Um (les Lehrers Entscheidung besser verstehen zu konnen, ist es notig, dass wir mit ihm besser bekannt werden.

Aristophanes ist ein weiser, wohlbetagter, griechischer Stoiker niit weissen Locken und mit einer Brille auf der Nase. Er ist viel in Gesellschaft aller Art verkehrt und ist darum ein guter Kenner der menschlichen Natur. Besonders kennt er seine Schuler von Alpha bis Omega und weiss sogleich welche am besten fur dieses Abenteuer geeignet sind.

Mit pocliendem Herzen erwarten die Schuler den Ausspruch ihres Lehrers.

Nachdem dieser ein paar Male im Zimmer auf und abgegangen war, sagt er: “Klearchos, Triptolemos und Philoctetes sollen ein Komitee von drei bilden. Noch heute sollen sie sich auf den Weg machen, damit sie sobald als moglich zurruckkehren und einen Bericht vor der Klasse abliefern Die Schule konnen. Ich wiinsche dem Komitee Gluck, fur den Rest des Tages fiillt aus.”

Wiilirend die Schuler aus der Scliule stiirzen, wollen wir einmal den Aristophanes fragen, warum er gerade diese Jungen erwahlt habe.

“Die Frage kann ich Ihnen schnell beantworten”，sagt er, als er seine Brille weiter auf der Nase hinunter geschoben hat.

Da ist zuerst der Klearchos. Er ist ein Stadter.

Noch nie ist er auf dem Lande gewesen. Darum ist er mit den Gewohnheiten der Rinder ganz unbekannt, ja er hat wohl noch nie in seinem Leben eine Kuh gesehen. Er weiss auch nichts von den vielen Gefahren, denen er sich aussetzen muss, wenn er sich den “eilipodos elikas Bous„ nah—265—

ert. Er wird wohl diese Tiere als blosse Spielzeuge betracliteii ” “Dann haben wir den Triptolemos. Er ist der dummste Bengel in der ganzen Klasse. Wenn er anfangt griechish zu reden, werden sich sogar die “eilipodas elikas Bous” aus dem Staube machen. Dies wird dann den andern beiden Gelegenheit geben zu beobachten, auf welclie Weise diese Rinder ihre Flisse bewegen.,> “Als dritten und letzten haben wir den Philoctetes. Er ist ein sehr schneller Laufer. Er wird mit Leichtigkeit die laufenden Rinder einliolen, damit er sie in ihrem Laufe aus der Nahe beobachten kann. Dieses Komitee wird schon mit grossem Brfolge einen guten Bericht iiber den “eilipodas eli­ kas Bous” zuriickbringen.”

Drei Tage sind vergangen. Aber an diesem sonnigen Morgen sitzt nicht unser Herr Professor Aristophanes vor seinen Schiilern und liest mit ihnen Homers Odysee. War um denn nicht? Hier ist die Antwort. Das Komitee ist aus dem Lande der “eilipodas elikas Bous” zurriickgekehrt und gibt an diesem Morgen seinen Bericht vor der Klasse ab.

Klearchos, welcher der anerkannte Redner des Komitees ist, steht vor seinen Klassengenossen. Ilim zur Seite stehen Triptolemos und Philoctetes, seine Komiteegenossen.

“H6rt, hort,” ruft Klearchos, und beginnt seinen Be­ richt. “Nocli an demselben Tage, da uns der Auftrag, (Oder darf ich sagen, die Ehre), ins- Land der “eilipodas elikas Bous” zu gehen und zu erkunden, 'vie es mit diesen Tieren stande, gegeben wurde, machten wir uns auf den Weg. Mit Speise wohl versehen und mit Waffen voll ausgeriistet, begaben wir uns auf ein Schiff nach Kreta und landeten dort in der Hafenstadt Cydonius. Von dort gingen wir dann ins Inland zu Fuss, und eine halbe Tagesreise brachte uns in die Gegend, wo sich die Rinder aufhielten. Da es schon spat am Abend war, mussten wir bis an den Morgen ausharren. ehe wir uns den Rindern, deren Gegenwart wir schon durcli einen furchtbaren Geruch und durcli lautes Stampfen vernahmen, naherten. Da ich nocli nie in meinem Leben die Gelegenheit hatte, mir ein Stuck Vieh aus der Nalie anzuschauen, war ich wegen meiner Neugierde nieinen Genossen am nachsten Morgen, da wir uns wieder auf den Weg mach­ ten, weit voraus. Was fiir Spielzeuge sind denn das? daclite ich, als ich den* 4*eilipodas elikas Bous” immer naher kam, um mir einmal die Dinge gut anzuscliauen. So eine Frecliheit! werden wohl die Tiere bei sicli gedacht haben, als sie mein priifendes Gaffen mit ebenderselben Miene vergalten.

—266—

tvnJt Als aber Triptolemos herankam und ein paar Zeilen aus der Odyssee vortrug, schlugen sie mit den Hinterfussen aus und machten sich mit aller Eile aus dem Staub. Philoctetes aber lief ihnen mit schnellen Fussen nach. Triptolemos und ich setzten uns auf einen grossen Stein, um die Ruckkehr des Philoctetes zu erwarten. Spat am Nachmittag, da schon die Schatten langer wurden, kehrte dieser mit langsamen Schritten zuriick. Ermudet sank er neben uns hin und keuchte: “Die Rinder gehen gerade so, wie uns Homer in seiner Odyssee erziihlt hat.”

Klearchos wollte seinen Bericht beendingen, aber vom Jubelgeschrei seiner Klassengenossen wurde er unterbrochen und er, sowohl als aucli Triptolemos und Philoctetes, auf den Schultern tier starken griechischen Jiinglinge aus dem Scliulzimmer getragen. Dass sie noch an dem Tage zur Schule zurruckkamen, ist sehr zu bezweifeln. Ihre Ehre wieder hergestellt, haben sie wohl Feierabend gemacht, wozu der Herr Professor Aristophanes unwillig seine Zustimmung geben musste.

TRUE PATRIOTISM. Patriotism!一The world has always preached it, and we have just lived through an era—the entire period of the World War~when patrotism was all. Everybody should stand by his country, should invest his hard earned savings in (Government bonds, should slander and hurt the enemy in any way possible; in short, everybody should be a hun­ dred per cent American.

And that the country hailed as patriotism—much of it ostentation, pomp, and show. The capitalists gave a small per cent of their millions, the middle working classes were incited through propaganda, or coerced in many cases, to subscribe to the loans of the Government, and many of those who did not glorify the country and curse the enemy were scouted as disloyal and shamefully persecuted.一All, that patriotism might rule, yet the patriotism of our twentieth century, was not that of the two real patriots in the liis—268— —

. 丨:i ::1

tory of our land, the two whose birthdays the country cele­ brates this month—Washington and Lincoln.

Their patriotism was of a different nature, it was pa­ triotism of the heart and not that which (luring the years of the late war crystalized into ostentation and pomp. In the war for independence, Washington labored through hardship after hardship, always with tlie one thing in his heart,—the welfare of his country. And Lincoln piloted our land through a period of tempest and storm. Destruction threatened and Lincoln faced it, for it meant a Union or none. A bloody civil war was necessary, but Lincoln led on through storm and conflict, for the crash was unavoid­ able. His heart and soul were with his country and he passed through the storm with lier to quiet waters. He paid with his life for liis faith in his country.—But now Wash­ ington and Lincoln live as fathers of their country, tried and not found wanting in their patriotism and love of coun­ try. Yet where are the hundreds of super-patriots of our late war, those wlio glowed with love and devotion toward their dear United States? All, they are dead; if not in body, yet in fame. Their patriotism was that of the hand and not of the heart, whence all true patriotism issues.

ATHLETICS. As long as men and women have bodies it is probable that the athlete will hold a high place in popular esteem.

And there does not seem to be much immediate prospect that our world will be changed into a cosmos of disembodied spirits.

There is a great “play-foi.-everybody” movement under way around the world to-day. At no previous time in his­ tory has such a similar situation presented itself. Just now for a variety of reasons—because of the lesson learned dur­ ing the war of the importance of good physical training; because of an awakening of nations to tlie fact that sports and games surpass bull-fights and cafes as diversions for their youth; because play fosters teamwork and sportsman­ ship and teamwork and sportsmanship lielp preserve the morale of the armies.

There is an activity suited for every type of mind and body. The finest and most beneficial activity which bene­ fits both body and mind is the game in which the individual —269—

^ 3^^ j

is fused in a team, the type of physical endeavor which de­ mands not only coordination between the individual mind and individual body, but also the highest degree of cooper­ ation with the minds and bodies of others.

Such a sport as football marks a high development in this direction. The value of concerted efforts, of sacrifice, of team consciousness in all our games and sports will def­ initely affect the character of the youth of the country. On the other hand we have such a sport as golf. This game likewise requires a superlative degree of mental and physical coordination, but it is a solitary pastime in which defeat or victory is decided within the confines of a single body. The physical demands of this game are less severe than foot­ ball, but it requires a mental stamina and moral courage of the most exacting kind.

Most adults have heretofore regarded play as something belonging to the leisure classes or children. The people do not always realize that the athletes in college are often the best students and that the college athlete derives as much value from the physical training as lie does from the mental phase of the work. The body is the tool of the mind, and it is in the athlete that the coordination of these factors is most clearly illustrated.

It is not our opinion that the athlete is necessarily a man or woman of high mental powers or that athletics should be regarded as an end in itself. However, athletes and athletics occupy a high and rightful place among the best products of our civilization.

—F. K.，22.

“What you do, do well,” although a copy-book maxim often quoted, really contains a sound idea. This one little sentence might serve as a proper motto for every man in all his work. No matter how great or how small an under­ taking may be, conscientiousness and thorouglmess should be the outstanding features. It is not the amount of work that counts, but the manner in which it is done; only a small amount of work well done, generally outweighs a great amount done superficially. “Non multa, sed null turn, said the old Roman who knew the truth of this maxim two thousand years ago.

It is true that it takes much more time to do a piece of work thoroughly than it does to do it superficially, but in the same proportion fall the benefits. Work performed in 一270—

an unconscientious spirit breeds an attitude of carelessness.

The man becomes careless and untidy in his work con­ tinues so and develops the “I-don’t-care” feeling. If lie can­ not do his work himself, he lets it go altogether or has some­ one else do it for him— —he tumbles into the pit of depend­ ence on his fellow-man. The poor dependent creature be­ comes a burden to society and a disgust to himself. He might now be a different man, had he clone his work dili­ gently from his youth.一Let us look at our own little sphere and especially at those who are soon leaving their Alma Mater with their college career behind them: each and every man must confess that he has by no means always done as much as he might have, not always worked as diligently as lie should have. Yet those waste hours and the diligence not applied should teach a lesson now: thoroughness and conscientiousness are bound to strengthen character; they pay in the end.

The health of our esteemed Dr. Ernst, who was stricken with paralysis shortly before the school-term opened last September, has improved to such an extent that he is again able to teach. Since Dr. Ernst is not able to move about very much and is not permitted to leave the house, he teaches his classes there. He has been teaching a class in pedagogy since the beginning of January and is now also teaching the senior class history.

M. Buenger, ’21，and H. Cares, ’21，of the Seminary at Wauwatosa, paid tlieir former fellow students here a visit.

Cares came here from Delafied, Wis.，where he played bas­ ketball with the American Lutheran Association basketball team against the St. John’s Military Academy team on Sat­ urday, January 14. The following afternoon both young —271—

j

men witnessed tlie hockey games and ice-races which were part of the Watertown winter-sports carnival. Cares, who is at home oil the ice, also skated and says lie had a merry afternoon.

Skating is a very healthful sport, but also a dangerous one oil rivers where the ice is harvested. Lester Reuter, ex-22, who gave up his studies here in June 1918 and who now holds a position in a Milwaukee office, narrowly es­ caped drowning in the Milwaukee River oil Sunday, January 15. Several other young men, one of whom drowned, fell into the river in tlie same vicinity. The ice had been cut the previous day, over night, however, a thin sheet of ice formed over the opening and oil this ice the young men skated, unaware of the danger. Later it was found that the guards placed by the ice company were insufficient.

Mr. A. Schujalin, com. ’18, of Fond du Lac, Wis” who is now attending the University of Wisconsin, renewed ac­ quaintances in Watertown on Tuesday, January 17. Mr. Schujahn will graduate from tlie University next spring.

Rev. M. Glaeser, ’15，of Tomali, Wis., visited liis Alma Mater on January 20.

Walter Stueber, com. 20, of Clyman, Wis., visited here Saturday, January 21. Since Mr. Stueber is a great basket­ ball fan, it pleased him very much to be here to witness the senior-sophomore game • Wallie was a former classmate of the seniors, and they showed him that they could still play basketball by defeating the sophomores in a class game.

Prof. E. E. Kowalke, ’08, and Dr. J. H. Ott, ’S5, attended the meeting of presidents and deans at Downer College, Mil­ waukee on January 26. At this meeting Prof. Kowalke was elected president for the following year.

Since January, Prof. H. Schmeling is preaching at Oconomowoc,Wis. Rev. R. Timmel, ’18, of Yale, Midi., paid his parents of Oconomowoc, Wis., an extended visit in the latter part of January and the forepart of February.

Rev. A. Zeisler, ’18, of Milwaukee, Wis., visited at Oconomowoc oil Sunday, January 29.

Rev. A. Wacker, ’18, of Coloma, Mich., visited his brother here in the latter part of January. Prom here Rev. Wacker left for Milwaukee. Rev. Wacker was on a forced vacation while his church was undergoing repairs. His church caught fire the second Sunday after its dedication.

Rev. B. Schlueter, ’00, of Oshkosh, Wis., visited Prof. K. Koehler here in tlie latter part of January.

M. Stern,，19, of the Seminary at Wauwatosa, was in Watertown on business Thursday, February 2. I-Ie also paid his former fellow students a hurried visit.

The Lord called from this vale of tears unto Himself in heaven the six months old son of Rev. M. Raasch, ’03, of Lake Mills, Wis. Rev. Raasch’s boy died of pneumonia after being ill but thirty-six hours. The funeral services, at which Prof. T. Schlueter officiated, were held Friday, February 3, burial taking place at Columbus.

Mr. Paul I3ehn, who discontinued his studies here in June, 1919, and who for a time assisted in mission work in Arizona, entered the Seminary at Wauwatosa in January.

Mr. Behn also finished one semester at the Seminary in Springfield, 111.

-t Prof. M. Sprengling, Ph. D., ’95, of the University of Chicago, who returned from a trip to Europe shortly after Christmas, visited in Watertown on January 15. Prof.

Sprengling took his family with him to Europe, but he re­ turned alone. His family now resides in Pomerania on the shores of the Baltic Sea. The books bequeathed to Northwestern College by the late Dr. F. W. A. Notz and to be known as the F. W. A. col­ lection have arrived here and will soon be entered in the library.

Dr. T. C. Abelmann, ex-’05, and Prof. H. Parisius, ’13, have been elected members of the Watertown Athletic Asso­ ciation. It is the purpose of this association to promote athletic activities in this city. The people of Watertown have taken a much keener interest in sports the past months than ever before. To promote winter sports the Winter Sports Association, a new institution, has collected a fund to keep the ice in good condition throughout the winter. It also arranges ice-carnivals and hockey games. The Watertown Chamber of Commerce has donated a sum of money to be given to the hockey team finishing the season with the highest percentage. The Watertown Athletic Association is planning to place a good baseball team in some state league. The association has also been seriously thinking of supporting a professional football team. As to this last plan it is our opinion that the people of Watertown should first give our college football team greater support.

SENIORS 19. JUNIORS 42.

January 14, marked the opening of the 1922 basketball season at Northwestern. The Seniors challenged the Juni­ ors for the opening game. Already in the very earliest stages of the contest the Juniors took the lead and at the end of the first half the score stood 27 to S, in their favor.

The Seniors displayed a better brand of team work in the second half, but were almost helpless before the superb shooting of the winning team. Capt. Henning alone scored eleven baskets for the Green and White.

SOPHOMORES 19. FRESHMEN 15.

The second game of the afternoon between the “Soplis” and “Freshies” was a somewhat closer contest. Neither side was able to score within the first five minutes of play.

At the end of the first half the Freshmen were leading 7 to 5; but after the rest the Sophomores came back strong, scoring shots from all angles and piling up a lead that the .younger team could not overcome. The final score was 19 to 15 in favor of the “Sophs.” 一274— —

SENIORS 19. SOPHOMORES 14.

What looked as though it were going to be a very slow game turned out to be a snappy and exciting struggle when the Seniors downed the Sophomores 19 to 14 on January 18.

It took the Sophomores fully fifteen minutes before their eye was trained to the basket. Until then the Seniors were leading 6 to 1. While the whistle blew for the inter­ mission the score was tied 8 to 8. An early rally of the Maroon in the second half advanced their mark to 19; but the “Sophs”，although they worked hard, could not raise their score above 14 points.

JUiMOKS :n. FJtESHMEN 12.

The Juniors still possess an undefeated quint. The Freshmen have also fallen before their hardy attack. In the first half the Junior guards held the “Frosh” to only one field goal: only two were scored against them in the second frame. The final score was 31 to 12 with the Juni­ ors on top.

SKMOKS 22. FRESHMEN 11.

January 21, 1922. Again the Freshmen went down in defeat. This time the Seniors took the same by a 22 to 1] score. At the end of the half the score stood 10 to 6, ttu Seniors leading. Early in the second half the ^Freshies1 rallied and tied the count; but it only remained thus a short while. The Senior forwards tossed them in in quick suc­ cession and brought their score to 22 against the 11 points of their rivals.

JUNIORS 18. SOPHOMORES 20.

The second contest of January 21, ended contrary to every expectation. The Sophomores beat the Juniors 20 to 18. At the close of the half the Juniors were at the long end of the rope leading 10 to 6. But before the next ten minutes were over the score was tied. The end of the game saw both teams fighting desperately to land another basket until finally Kleinke garnered the winning basket for the “Soplis”. It was a hotly contested struggle throughout, many fouls being called on both sides.

JUNIORS 15. SOPHOMOKES 27.

On January 25, the Sophomores duplicated their feat of the Saturday before and again defeated the Junior quint.

Already very early in the game the Sophomores took the —275—

lead. In the first half the Juniors evened the count several times; but as the final half went on they seemed to lose the old fighting spirit and the difference between the two scores increased steadily until the whistle put a stop to the same.

JUNIORS 20.

SENIORS 19.

Since the Sophomores had vanquished the Juniors twice in succession and the Seniors had defeated the Sopho­ mores in a previous struggle, everyone looked for an easy win for the Seniors on January 28, when that team took on the Junior squad for a game. No one thought when the half ended and the Seniors were leading 11 to 8 that the Juniors had any chance whatever to win this game. But they did. Barely was the second half under w:、. score was tied. They continued their belated rally and when the final whistle was sounded they had the game well tucked away by a 29 to 19 score.

SOPHOMORES 38.

FRESHMEN 8.

On the same day that the Juniors beat the Seniors the Sophomores won their fourth successive victory by defeat­ ing the Freshmen in a onesided game. The Sophomores took the lead immediately after the opening of the game and held it throughout. Kleinke was the scoring star of the game, scoring 30 of the Sophomores 3S points. l224

HOCKEY. Northwestern is again represented in the city hockey league this winter. Although hockey is an innovation and only a minor sport at our college, it has taken an immense step forward during the last two years. “A mighty fine showing for the first year.” That is the way Capt. Knoll, who skillfully guides the destinies of the team, expressed himself on the playing that the first hockey team ever organized at Northwestern displayed last year. Last season’s —276—

.

lineup is practically intact, student interest has also livened, in short, everything points to an unusually successful sea­ son. The chances of winning the league championship are problematical; but at any rate, Northwestern is represented by a team which, barring accidents, will give a good account of itself and which bids fair to finish well near the top in the league standing.

Capt. Knoll has the following men, all of whom gained experience last year, at his disposal: • Gentz, Kuckhahn, Krause, Rossin, Albrecht, Groth, Siffring, Wegworth and Schumacher. These men have placed Northwestern’s hockey team among the leaders from the start. Up to date de­ cisive victories have been won over the High School and American Legion teams, two games have been forfeited by the Fliers and Elks, and one game lost to the strong Gon­ dolier team, winners of last season’s cup, by a close margin.

The league standing: 4 Northwestern .................

We are glad to announce that we have been successful in re-establishing communication with the Alma Mater. The Alma Mater still maintains its well known standard. “iGo Ye—” is a very instructive article on foreign mis­ sions. In a convincing manner the writer points out how —277—

'A S：'

: ::

by proper education, especially in our schools and colleges, the attitude toward mission service in foreign lands and toward tlie financial support thereof could be improved.The activities of the “Student Volunteer Movement” in this field are also carried out.

In “Twenty-Five Years Hence” the author gives li i；：» imagination the reigns and paints the seminary as lie hopes it to be in 1947. The description is so vivid that the pic­ ture seems to be tlial of reality.

Your news items are almost too numerous. We sug­ gest that you arrange the material under sub-colums, one for each college represented; this would make the department more “iibersichtlich.”

“Hit or Miss” is practically free from that “cold storage1 taste that is so often strongly evident in the humor sections of otlier papers.

In conclusion we repeat our second sentence.

The December number of the Luther Echo, Luther Sem­ inary, Phalen Park, St. Paul, Minn., contains two articles on Christmas. The first gives an explanation of the origin and development of some of our Christmas customs. The second treats of the adoption and significance of the ever­ green as our Christmas tree. The articles, wliile not final (>(l the subject, make profitable reading. The Echo contains more poetry than is usually found in a college monthly, ^hree pages are devoted to it. Of the several poems “Am Christabend” is perliaps tlie best; the thought is elevated and the rhythm runs along smoothly without a hitch We fancy the exchange editor’s plain and simple lan­ guage. His style however is somewhat verbose. On sev­ eral occasions he uses one or more complete sentences to say a thing that he might have expressed much more forc­ ibly with a single phrase or clause.

If anyone is still in doubt or wants special information about the most efficient manner of procedure in killing stu­ dent activities, let him read “Ten Ways to Kill an Organization” on page thirty-one of the Echo.

On the whole the Luther Echo impressed us favorably, and we hope to receive it every month.

These and other magazines and papers have been put into the exchange rack in the reading room. Almost every number contains ail article or story that is very mucli worth reading. A few hours could hardly be more profitably spent than in acquainting one’s self with the products and spirit of other schools.

Witli Other Schools.

1. Quite a number of schools are considering the ad­ visability of continuing the “Honor System” in examina­ tions. Augustan a especially is giving the matter careful discussion.

2. Gustavus Adolphus hopes to have its new gymna­ sium completed by spring. It will be one of the most mod­ ern in the northwest.

3. The St. Olaf choir is now homeward bound on its third annual concert tour. We judge from press reports that the expectations based on last year’s success are being fulfilled.

一A number of students discontinued their studies at Northwestern after the Christmas recess. On January 20, Leonhard Zabel, of Weyauwega ,returned to his home. Jan­ uary 29, Fred I-Iuebner, of Ixonia, and Slip Hewitt, of Chi­ cago, left us. Huebner accepted a job in California, while Slip now helps his father, who is a contractor. Alhard Leisten left for his home in Burnett, Wisconsin, on February 1, and the day after Allen Blank, of Aurora, Illinois, returned to his home.

—On January 19, Edgar and Clarence Nehring, preps, at­ tended the funeral of their uncle and two weeks later that of their grandmother at Oconomowoc.

砂j —On January 29 Karl Bretzmann, prep, was present at the funeral of his grandfajtlier at Lake Mills, Wisconsin. 一It seems this winter that skating is vying with basket­ ball for the favor of the students. There is at least as much attention given skating as basketball. At different times during January groups of students skated from Watertown to Coonie, so that the one time feat became quite a common occurrence. The students showed much enthusiasm for skating at the ice carnival, for many of them took part in the various races. Art Gentz, ’22, won first prize in the one hundred yard dash and second prize in the two hundred yard dash. 一Venus Winter, ’22, returned to us before the month of January came to its close. Gerhard Schuetze, ’23, returned to his studies on January 31. In the meantime Schuetze was doing his best to rid himself of a persistent cold. Her­ man Theurer, com. ’24, who had not returned for the first semester, appeared at tlie beginning of the second semester to resume his studies.

—In January Gerhard Buenger, prep, attended a wedding in Kenosha. In the evening lie enjoyed a banquet given by the Men’s Club. 一On January 26 Miss Evelyn M. Mercier, of Chicago, vis­ ited tlie senior class.

—Voigt, *22, Rossin, ’22, Knoll, ’22, and Grunwald, ’24, were in Oconomowoc January 10 .to watch the National Guard Company drill. They received some good pointers from Capt. Boyle.

—On January 15, some time after the mysterious hour of midnight, hair-cuts were given free of charge by a band of mystic barbers in a remote corner of the basement of the dormitory. Now a goodly quantity of perfectly crimped hair gleams through its glass encasement from a shelf on a wall of the Smoking Room. 一Dudley Rohda, ’22, spent the last few days of January and the first few days of February at his home in Oconomo­ woc, recovering from a severe cold whicji he contracted at college. 一In January both Speck Palmer, ’22, and Red Rossin, ’22，refereed quite a few basketball games in cities round about Watertown.

—280—

—The Rev. C. J. Fricke of Aurora, Illinois, stopped off at Northwestern on January 25 to see his son, John Fricke.

—Martin Buenger, ’21, and Abie Cares, *21, stayed over here one Saturday and Sunday in January. 一The Rev. John Henning, ’18, of Enterprise, Wisconsin, was seen in Watertown the latter part of January. 一Ora Roehl, prep, spent the last Sunday in January at his home in Lake Mills, Wisconsin.

—The last part of January and the first part of February the stealthy grippe germ found easy prey in the dormitory.

In a surprisingly short time the sick rooms were occupied to capacity with unlucky victims. Many others who fell prey to the grippe had to remain in their rooms in the dor­ mitory.

(ttu-iEJi Notes.

—Anna Wegner was forced to leave college a week before vacation began because of illness. 一Virginia Etscheid and Nona Broker heroically rescued a tiny mouse from the waste basket in the girls’ room one day. The act was witnessed by Frieda Zeisler, Josephine Gruetzmacher, and Margaret Blakely from the highest points of the room.

—The evening before college closed for Christmas vaca­ tion the co-eds met in the recitation building for a Christ­ mas party. The climax of the evening was reached when Santa Claus himself appeared and distributed his gifts.

—We were glad to see that almost all of the girls returned promptly after the Christmas recess. Only a few had not quite recovered from Christmas goodies, among them Edna Dietert and Hildegarde Wagner. Erna came one day late; Hildegarde missed almost a week.

—Meta Kaulitz left us after Christmas to accept a steno­ grapher’s position in Madison. We were very sorry to see her leave and all joined in wishing her success and happi­ ness in her new field of work.

—Elsie Freitag has come back to Northwestern after at­ tending the Normal School at Whitewater. Although she liked the Normal School, she likes Northwestern better.

—Rutli Bolle was a Milwaukee visitor January 21 and 22. 一Elsie Freitag * spent January 28 and 29 at the home of Josephine Gnewuch in Lebanon.

—On tlie evening of February 8, the girls’ first basketball team played tlie Watertown Vocational Girls at our gymna­ sium. The line-up was as follows: Prances Donahue.... R. Laura Kuckhahn....... L. Marian Seithammer Frieda Lueck......... R. Bernadette Hady........L. Subs—Leona Dobrick, Lillian Borth.

P......... Bertha I-Iolzhueter F................. Frieda Zeisler ..Elsie Freitag C. Louise Thurow ,G G........Hildegarde Wagner Subs—Gertrude Zabel, Nona Broker, Irene Bolle.

Our girls entered into the game with the spirit of fight, and it was this spirit that decided tlie victory for them. The game was very close and fast and intensely exciting. In the first two minutes of the game Elsie shot the first bas­ ket for Northwestern. It was followed closely by another from Frieda. A foul was called oil Northwestern and the Vocational Girls made a point on a free throw. Bertha made one basket on a free throw for Northwestern. The oppos­ ing team shot another basket, making the score 2 to 5 at the end of the first half.

The second half began harder than ever. The co-eds fought their way to tlieir basket and succeeded in making a shot, but the visiting team also fouglit, and the game looked doubtful. Bertha then made three points on free throws, while the Vocational Girls made one. For a while the ball was kept on the opposing team’s side, and many shots were tried, but only one proved successful. Splendid work in passing the ball and in dribbling across the floor was done by the co-eds. Their team work proved too much for the opponents, who, nevertheless, did not give up, but fought harder. The Northwestern team worked the ball to their basket, making several good shots, and the game ended with the score 5 to 16.

My Kingdom for a Street-car!

Tis 10:30; dang! dang! She moves! dang! She stops.

Who? The street-car; and our tall friend Hermie jumps aboard, breathless but happy. The car proceeds east on Main street. Again we hear the air-brakes being applied.

What has happened now? Oil, not much. Our friend Reu­ ben has just boarded tlie car. All is well that ends well, but it is far from the end of the line just now. The car reaches Fourth street and—the lights go out. The car stops. The door opens and in jumps Gus with the trolley rope in his hand.

“That is one way of stopping a speeding interurban,” chirps our Reuben. The conductor understands the situ­ ation clearly and wishes that peace may reign until he reaches the college grounds. But no一• “Watch yourself, Roman,” cried a pleading voice. Bang!

grinning; in his hand he holds his last nickel. Finally the car reaches the college campus. And now the mad race begins.

“There goes that ten-thirty bell,” cries Speck. With grim determination four figures leap* through the bushes.

A little later they have gained the building. Alas! They are one minute late!

MARRIAGE OR A CAREER? Waldemar Groth, ’22.

“I’ve looked upon my ideal this evening: I’ve seen ac­ tualized what I’ve longed all my life to docapture a great audience, stir it to its utmost depths, and hold it spellbound by the simple magic of eloquent words and transcendent thought. That woman lecturer whom we heard this even­ ing is the incarnation and realization of my fondest ambi­ tion. Hitherto I’ve been in doubt as to my own career; now my course is plain. I’ve chosen my vocation. I can’t alter my decision, and I won’t;’’ she said it defiantly. star has risen and I shall follow its guidance.”

“You mean to say you will go upon the platform, Miss Harrisonlie asked, a distinct pallor creeping over his fine features.

“That is precisely what I mean,” she averred. ”1 have often thought about it and dreamed about it, and you have —288— — —

seen me on tlie college platform, heard me speak before the literary societies, and know something about my talent as a speaker.”

“Yes, you undoubtedly have gifts in that direction,” lie acknowledged, though he could not keep a tone of regret out of his voice. **Well, my decision is made,” she went on, as if to brush away the last shadow of doubt. “From now on I shall bend She every energy I have to the attainment of my object, laughed gaily and tossed her head as if the world were ly­ ing subservient at her feet. What a blithe, defiant little laugh it was! “I’ve chosen my career; how happy and con­ tented I am!”

I一I must “Excuse me, Miss Harrison,” lie begged. get to bed early to-niglit, for I have much to do to-morrow.

Good-niglit” Heavily Thomas Donaldson stalked down the dimly lighted street toward tlie dormitory. He liad meant to ask Anna Belle Harrison something that evening, but in her ex­ cited mood he knew it would be worse than useless. All the fond hopes of ever possessing her seemed now to be sud­ denly daslied to the ground.

For Thomas Donaldson loved Anna Belle Harrison. It was not to be denied. From the first he had admired her, from the day when they had begun tlieir college course to­ gether in the freshman year. What a sweet smiling fresh­ man she was一quite a good deal given to fun. By the time she had reached the junior year she was more sedate and dignified, and ambition already liad gained a secure foot­ hold in her soul.

Now they had reached that important period in their lives when in tlie eyes of buoyant and ambitious youth tlie climax of human greatness has veritably been reached一 they had become college seniors. Neither was as young as the major part of tlieir classmates, and although they st?od at the head of the class on account of tlieir greater maturity, they were not as self-conscious and inflated with pride as seniors usually are wont to be. They both had ambitions.

Anna Belle Harrison felt that she must do something worth while in the world, must win fame and fortune, in short, must have a career. Thomas Donaldson also liad hopes of his own, and as a lordly senior was conscious of at least two distinct ambitions: one was to be a minister of the —289—

t gospel, the other to win the heart and hand of Anna Belle Harrison.

But now this last ambition was blasted; and commence­ ment only two months away. Oh, why had he ever taken Anna Belle to hear one of the greatest woman lecturers of the day! While they sat there, held by the spell of the speaker’s arguments and appeals, lie had noticed the deep flush on his companion’s cheeks and the glow in her deep eyes, while she had bent forward with parted lips and quick­ ened breath. Never before had he seen her so affected by a public performance. On the way home she had given vent to her enthusiasm and had given him to understand that nothing, not even love and marriage, would stand in the way of her career or turn her from her course.

All too soon the school-year came to a close. Thomas Donaldson found it difficult to keep his mind on his work.

A nameless agony was gnawing at his heart. Only on com­ mencement day, when Anna Belle Harrison delivered her graduating oration was he able to shake off his depression of spirits and listen to her, as she stood there, lithe and graceful, complete mistress of herself and of the situ­ What ation. All. the while he kept saying to himself: magnetism she has! What a rich, mellow voice! Where does she get such power! No, she hasn’t made a mistake in the choice of her profession. But I know only too well what her choice means to me!”

The day was over. In the parlor of Anna Belle’s board­ ing house sat Thomas Donaldson and the girl, bidding each other good-by. His face was pale and drawn with the stress of the agony in his heart.

“Aren’t you well, old classmate?” she asked at length, half tauntingly, half anxiously. “Your face is almost white.”

He sprang to his feet and paced the floor a few moments to relieve his feelings.

“Anna Belle!” He stopped suddenly before her and looked down into her startled face. “Do you realize that this is our last hour together at the dear old college? To­ morrow you will go to your home and I to mine. Our homes are over five hundred miles apart.’0 “Yes, I realize that the parting time has come,” she replied. “I shall miss you sorely. I shall remember you all my life, and hope we shall meet sometimes.”

“You hope we shall meet sometimes!” he broke out im­ pulsively. *Do you think I want to be remembered and noth—290—

ing more? That I want to meet you sometimes? I want you with me always, Anna Belle.”

“Now, Thomas,” she began, and her voice was full of sympathy, €,1 can’t assent to your wishes, I simply cannot.”

“Will you tell me why not?”

“You know already. I’ve chosen a career; I’m wed­ ded to that.”

“Why should a career stand in tlie way of love and marriage?”

“Think for a moment, Thomas. Marriage would ab­ sorb one’s time and attention. If I were to marry, when should I have time to cultivate my art? I must give years of undivided attention and study to such a profession as I have chosen. No, Thomas, I tell you, it can’t be! Love is strong, but ambition is stronger now, and I must obey the stronger motive power. My decision is final.”

He took her hand/ said good-bye hoarsely and hurried out of the house. “And this ends it all!” lie groaned. “Perhaps I shall never see her face again!”

Ten years went by. It inust not be thought that Donaldson’s life was wrecked by his youthful disappointment.

That does not often occur. He was now the Rev. Donald­ son, pastor of a large congregation in a well-known metrop­ olis of the Middle States.* But there was an aclie in hi° heart, and at the evening hour lie often sat in his lonely bachelor parlors and went over his friendship with Anna Belle Harrison.

One day he was sitting in liis study preparing liis ser­ mon for Sunday when a friend entered, holding a program up in his hand.

“See here, Thomas,’*’ the visitor cried. Anna Belle Harrison is booked for a lecture in our Lyceum course next Wednesday night. You’ll want to hear her, won’t you?

Why, Thomas, you look almost ghastly. What’s the matter?”

“Nothing, nothing,” Thomas answered, controlling his feelings. “Miss Harrison was a classmate of mine at col­ lege, and we were―friends. Naturally I feel a little excited at the prospect of seeing her.”

Oh! perhaps you were interested in each other?”

“To be honest, we were. But, pshaw! that’s all passed, with other youthful follies.”

“You’re going to hear her, I suppose?”

“Yes, I think I shall. It will be a treat to listen to an —291—

old classmate, especially since she has acquired so much fame.”

On Wednesday night, as the lecture was over, Thomas, with many others, pressed forward to congratulate the speaker, who was known to be very cordial with her audi­ ence.

“Thomas Donaldson, my old classmate !** she exclaimed, grasping his hand. 'Why, we haven’t see each other for— for ten years. Oh, it’s good to meet you again!”

“You cannot be more pleased than I at this chance meet­ ing/* he ventured to remark. “You will permit me to con­ gratulate you on the success you have won in the lecture field—”

“No, I won’t!” she interrupted in her quick, sprightly way. “I won’t allow you to say anything so commonplace as that. I hear such things every day. Tell me something about yourself.”

“I can’t tell you about myself here in the crowd/* he said in a low voice.

But if you will permit, Miss Harrison, I shall be glad to accompany you to your hotel where we can talk freely.”

“Very well, Thomas. I shall be ready in a few minutes.”

As soon as she could withdraw from the crowd with­ out creating remarks, she joined Thomas, and together they walked to the hotel, where, in one of the unoccupied par­ lors, they could have their conversation without being in­ terrupted.

‘Your success has been most grttifying,” Thomas ob­ served, when they had exchanged the brief tales of their successful ambitions. “No doubt your cup of joy is full.”

“I can’t say that it is,” she replied after a moment’s silence.

“Have you found out, after all, Miss Harrison, that I was right ten years ago, when I said that a woman’s heart, was made for love?” lie ventured to ask.

“I’m afraid you were right, Thomas,” she confessed humbly, looking up into his eyes.

“Once you declined my suit because of your ambition,” he said. “Will you grant me the boon to-night which you then denied.?’’

“Yes, Thomas, I will. I’m done with fame for its own sake. Perhaps, if I hadn’t had my little fling with ambition, I should never have been quite contented. You see, I had to puncture the bauble of public adulation to find out how —292—

empty and evanescent it was. But, oh, Thomas, my ex­ perience was a risky one,” she murmured.

“Why, Anna Belle?”

“What if I had lost you, Thomas!”

ON THE NEWBERRY SCANDAL. Hilbert Engel, *23.

A resolution of the greatest importance has been shame­ fully accepted by the United States Senate. Yet it is pleas­ ing to note that there was fiery and forceful opposition to the resolution.

In the late debate in the Senate, Senator Reed declared, “When the offices of tlie Republic are for sale, the Republic is for sale.” His statement referred to the seating of New­ berry in the Senate. It was money and money alone that put him there. He was elected by the people of Michigan, but an air of fraud hung over the election. Now that the Senate has ratified this fraud, it is not only a Michigan disgrace but also a national disgrace.

Only seven of the forty-nine Senators that voted for Newberryism attempted to speak. Of the forty-four that voted against Newberryism, more than half participated in the debate, and it is remarkable that their questions could not be answered. In one sense it was no debate, for the supporters of Newberry made no attempt to answer ques­ tions; they could not verify tlieir statements and tlieir ar­ guments were ridiculous. Their defense consisted of the plea, “He did not know” and an attempt to arouse feeling against Ford.

It was proved that almost $200,000 had been spent in electing Newberry. As soon as one hears of this huge amount of money spent in a primary election a suspicion arises in one’s mind. How could so much money be spent in one campaign without the knowledge of the person for whom it is spent. Yet Newberry said that lie knew noth­ ing of what was going on in his behalf. But lie must have known what was being done for him. He knew that men were being hired to promote his interests among the Man ons, Poles, the laboring men, and the soldiers. This has been proved. He also knew that a Michigan state law pro—293— —

1 hibits this practice. Yet he made no inquiry, no protest to his manager.

It was claimed that a huge sum of money was necessary to run against Ford. But his supporters must have for­ gotten that Ford had not entered the race until the New­ berry campaign liad been well organized and financed. It was also stated that Ford was defeated because of his posi­ tion in regard to the Versailles Treaty. Yet again thei memory deceived them. The elections had taken place in the early summer of 1918. The armistice was not signed until November eleventh of that year and the treaty at Ver­ sailles had not been heard of. With such and similar fic­ titious arguments Newberry was defended.

A speech by the defenders was always welcome. It was remarkable that so few attempted to speak. Yet it is only natural. A certain senator had attempted, and he was forced to take his seat unable to answer the storm of ques­ tions and unable to refute the accusations that were hurled at him. The senator quit. Senator Borah, in one of the greatest speeches ever heard in the Senate, proved that Newberry did know and showed that Newberryism meant death to democracy. No one attempted to deny his words.

No one could. He stood for the truth.

Yet when the case was brought to a vote in the Senate, the majority voted that Newberry retain his seat. But in the same resolution the Senate declared that the election was dangerous to the perpetuity of a free government.

Every member knew this and voted for this clause. Yet they would not vote against Newberry. The Newberry ac­ tion will become a precedent. Other influential men with pecuniary backing will buy their seats outright. All that is necessary, as in the Newberry case, is to say, “I took no part in it whatever.” It will be the rich man’s password.

It will be the death of our democracy.

Newberry has been exonerated. How, then, dare his friends say that his election was perilous to a free nation?

They put a brand of shame upon him. They did so by v# mg for the clause in the resolution stating that the election was dangerous to the perpetuity of a free nation.

Let us accept the statement that he did not know at the time. He did know some time ago. Therefore in or­ der to show his sincerity and love for justice, he should have admitted that his election had been wrongfully gained and should have refused to accept his seat, but lie did not do this.

Let us hope that the case is not settled. Fiery opposition was shown. Some years ago a similar case was be­ fore the Senate. William Lorimer had obtained a seat in the Senate by means of his wealth. The Senate voted to Black and Red GALLEY THREE retain him. But there was a reaction. Clear-minded men saw the danger. The case was taken up again, and Lorimer was ousted. We still have able men in the Senate, and they are doing their best to avert this danger again. Let us await a similar reaction.

THE MYSTERY OF CORAL BEACH, E. Hoeneclke, *23.

There he was again. Twice before in my early morn­ ing walks to the sea I had seen him. Here he came along in the same old stagger, laboring, as it would seem,, under some wind of adverse conditions and miscarriages in life.

A more comical figure I had never seen before or have never seen ever after. He looked like a shipwreck running into shore driven by an unsteadily shifting gale. A friend told me that when he saw the old man lunging around, it gave him the impression of an animate second-hand store suit model. When that heap of clothes passed you, the spasmodical stagger and lurching put you in a constant sweat of agony and suspense, lest the clothes-rack should fall to the ground. But he’d get along and regularly my inquisitive eye followed him to a dilapidated, dismantled, rickety, old railway coach, standing on a grass-overgrown siding.

That’s what bothered me during my stay at Coral Beach on the coast of Maine. I had been sent here by my physi­ cian to recuperate from a nervous breakdown. This ciu”•osity of learning what the mystery was that surrounded this old man made me determined not to leave the beach p' the town until I had found out the secret. That was a natural trait in my make-up~I mean this curiosity;—for by profession I was newspaper reporter in my home in New York.

Coral Beach, was a failure, both as a commercial center and as a beach. Some wealthy speculator had erected a few showy buildings along tlie seaside, where the break-

ers struck the black rugged promontory, and had named a pitifully small stretch of sandy seashore, strewn here and there with rocks, Coral Beach, to entice prospective vaca­ tioners. From the old Coral Beach Hotel he built a wooden sidewalk in and out among the bowlders. TJtie dressinghouses for bathers were built against a solid wall of rock.

For the first few seasons the name attracted great crowds. Many of his enthusiastic friends came out to the beach on the stub line of the railway, of which our siding with the rickety coach formed a part. With imaginations brimful and overflowing with wonderful descriptions and phoiographs of the wonderful bathing-beach with wild explored country on all sides to be explored in unoccupied hous, these vacationers streamed to the Coral Beach with the large rocks. The older generation had pronounced it a failure after the first season, but the younger set con­ tinued coming out for a few seasons until the few acres of “unexplored” country were so thoroughly explored that the owners of this “great tract” of “unclaimed territory” sent their violent protests against them in the form of a few rounds of rock-salt. Queer as it may seem, the salt took the fun out of the explorations and the younger set also abandoned Coral Beach.

But one young mail remained. This was the famous Professor Mann ion of the Thomas Thill College in Connec­ ticut. Finally he also disappeared when he was called . the famed Radford University of New York.

A little village sprang up from the venture of making Coral Beach a rival of the great resort at Coney Island and when the thing was finally given up, the village took to fishing in place of bathing. The fine buildings were all de­ stroyed by the steady gnawing of the years and the neglect of the owner. The long board walk to the beach was de­ caying.—That’s why Mrs. Smith is unable to walk, she broke her leg when she fell on the walk, my landlady in the vil­ lage told me.一The walk has nothing at all to do with this story, save that it was there and that on account of its de­ cayed condition I became acquainted with the old man of the rickety railway coach.

I went out to the sea every morning. In vain I hoped to meet the old gentleman and to. make his acquaintance.

I never met him. Then I decided that I must be too late in my walks to meet him. Before the greater part of the vil­ lage was astir I started out on my walk the next day.

I had just begun to retrace my steps back to the village —296—

from the beach on the unused rotten walk, when lie ap­ peared from behind a large bowlder that lay in the direct path of the walk. As usual he was all clotlies. A pair oi large shoes, coated with the greyish white salt of the ocean water shuffled along and dragged with them enormous grey trousers. Over all this was hung a faded black-cloth great­ coat that covered everything from the heavy dirty white scarf that tightly encircled the throat and face up to the nose, to the top of tlie trousers’ cuffs which were turned u. habitually to keep them out of the salty water. A heavy brown fur cap that rested with both ear-flaps on the dirty sdarf hid all but a few stray white locks of the old man’s kead.

He reeled along, intently following the shield of the fur cap, which pointed directly to the dilapidated coach or the seashore. Now lie was but a few yards from me. Try­ ing to avoid my intruding scrutiny, it seems, the fur cap turned aside and the gaunt figure was sent sprawling to the hard board walk, witli one of tlie great feet in a yawning aperture caused by a missing board. His head was bared to the throat; tlie dirty old white scarf, the brown fur cap, and a bundle of papers, which lie carried under his arm, lay scattered on the sand at his side.

I picked him up. I was horrified, I thought I had only picked up tlie heavy black overcoat. But when I set up the stiff overcoat, there stood in it a lank scraggy shape. condition of the poor man’s health was shocking. Why, 1 don’t believe he weighed seventy pounds. No, he didn’t.

I’m not a strong man and I was just recuperating from a serious illness. Still I picked him up as I would a bag of flour. While I set him up and regained his cap, scarf, and bundle of papers covered with some geometrical figures, I got a glimpse at his face—-no, rather at liis eyes. I do not remember clearly whether the face was deeply furrowed or • not—but that’s immaterial. I know lie had a noble mouth and nose. No other could match those eyes. You didn't stop to see their color—you just naturally knew they must be steel-grey. . They met mine and mine dropped like a flash to the ground, only to come up again at the ungainly appearance of those clumsy feet. This was repeated until the old man had himself well hidden again. In well-cliosen words he thanked me. for the assistance, and, I believe, a trifle angered at tlie delay, he staggered on at a quicker gait to make up for the time lost.

Since I had seen those innocent eyes witli the enigmat—297—

ical fanatic sharpness, they haunted me and my determin­ ation to learn all the history behind that childish, burning gaze seized me stronger than before.

I met him again; he had changed considerably in his attitude toward me, for he greeted me in a friendly manner, and I was happy. Really happy and glad! The landlady and lier industriously gossiping maid considered me the grouchiest grouch in the village, but still I was happy at having acquired the recognition of those eyes.

Soon we passed remarks about the weather, when we met and stopped to chat with each other. One Sunday after­ noon we accidentally met on the seashore. We walked among the black crags, listened to the roar of the waves against the rocks and philosophized on the subject. With almost fanatical enthusiasm lie spoke of the waves and of the force which the waves exerted on the rocks. A ship­ wreck brought us from the topic, very reluctantly on his part, and we stood until dark observing how a life-saving crew salvaged the remains of a wrecked vessel. His last words at our parting were an invitation, almost an appeal to visit him at liis coach.

I hurried to the place the next morning and was wel­ comed rather ostentatiously by the old man. He offered me a broken chair in a small room that had served as a smoking compartment when the railway still flourished.

Then he informed me that he was about to reveal to me a secret which would readily make me a millionaire, if I chose to disclose it to the manufacturing world. The promise 01 secrecy which he exacted from me was as emphatic as an oath, lie explained that lie was so well-pleased with my appearance and later on with my intelligence on the great subject in question—the power of the waves一that he deem­ ed it safe to speak to me openly. Sorry to say, my intelli­ gence and knowledge of the power of the roaring waves only went as far as I had learned to know it in a doomed, storm-driven ship on the shores of Spain in the Bay of Bis­ cay. Of course this liad given me about the best of practical knowledge concerning the hidden force of the innocently foaming breaker, but scientifically I had not been much in­ terested. Just then all my interest was centered in pre­ serving my life. The old man bewailed this fact as he leaned awkwardly against an old dusty window casing.

What a great thing it would have been in his and other great scientists' researches, he said, if I had observed the action and energy emitted by a square inch of those price—298—

i；

less waves. He asserted that my death would have made little difference in the course of the busy world, but that the knowledge I stood in such a phenomenally easy position of procuring would have perhaps aided human life and exist­ ence as nothing else. He worked, himself up to sucli a pas­ sion that before I knew it he had me peering into a copy­ book riddled and blackened with such a jumble of algebraeical, geometrical, trigonometrical and other mathematical and engineering formulae that my eyes danced in my brain as when I first beheld the blinding confusion of a swarm of phosphorescent crustaceans in the Atlantic when I made my first crossing. But the old man never beheld my nerv­ ous signs of disinterest, for lie continued to explain nigh on ten pages of those figures to himself, for lie was constantly calling my tired eye back to the paper in his peevish cracked voice. While he was at the height of liis problem, or what­ ever it was that was amusing him so highly, my roving eye fell on an old bleached letterhead, lying innocently among a stack of old notes. My lieart thumped and hammered against my ribs when I read: Prof. Arthur E. Mannion, Ph. D., Sc. D. of Radford University, New York. I was the for­ tunate discoverer of the famous scientist’s whereabouts! It would be through my aid that the renowned doctor would be restored to his sphere of life! But those were dreams of the future. The present was more urgent.

The doctor impatiently closed his copybook and eagerly discoursing about the figures and their application to his experiment with the waves he led me to the larger room.

Here was a small working model of a sea-coast. Small breakers constantly bombarded tlie tiny rocky coast. This was interesting. The doctor proceeded to explain that through exact research here at the coast years ago he had been enabled to construct this small coast, whicli served the purpose of the real ocean and coast when the weather and tides were unfavorable.

The thing had a wonderful mechanism. A tiny indi­ cator was fastened to an aluminum plate, from which wires radiated to all parts of the little sea-coast to small copper plates. The copper plates, the learned doctor said, gathered from the waves the energy, which was transferred to them along wires from a small vacuum bottle. The mouth of tlie vacuum bottle was covered by a silken diaphragm against which the small waves beat. The pulsations of this di­ aphragm. moved a small wheel, in the bottle, with great vanes at a great velocity. By a series of simple mechanisms -—299—

he converted this energy into static electricity. He claimed that his experiment was practically ready to be given to the world were it not for the trifling problem of converting this static electricity into current electricity. This was the thing that occupied him now. He was about to harness the great amount of wasted energy of the waves. He wished to store this in large storage-batteries and eventually to furnish elec­ tricity to all the cities in the state at a reasonable rate.

When he again entered he told me that he expected to become the most famous scientist of the ages, and to sim­ plify matters for the historians, he was writing an autobio­ graphy and an account of all his experiments and figures.

The poor old man was still “liarnessing” when I left Coral Beach. Soon after my arrival at the city, before I could reveal my secret to the faculty of Radford University, they received intelligence from a small village, Coral Beach, that their venerable doctor was found dead in a rickety old railway-coach, near the city, with two copper plates in his hands.

They found his autobiography in which he explained why lie had left the university—to resume his interrupted researches at the seashore. But his scientific pages were too scientific even for the greatest scientists of the day and they never really learned of his “harnessing” and that he was a monomaniac on the subject of waves. Since my sec­ ret had not been told, I did not divulge anything.

He got his page in the history of science as being such a great scientist that not even twelve men, no not one, could delve into the complexities of his evident revelations. His name stood high, and a great prize was set for the man who successfully could lay clear what Mannion liad achieved in electricity and tidal actions and reactions.

Perhaps the great scientist achieved what he was out for: to harness the energy of the waves. Perhaps he har­ nessed enough energy of the waves to furnish the necessary amount of voltage to send hini into, eternity. Who shall know? His name stands in books and treatises on science, in histories, and famous inventors’ and research-workers’ lists as the nonpareil!

PHYSICAL CULTURE: WHE1NT IT IS WRONG, AND WHEN IT IS BIGHT. Waldemar Weissgerber, ’24.

Physical culture occupies an important place in Amer­ ica to-day. The greatest factor in the advancement of the thought are the many schools where physical development is taught. The schools of Bernarr Macfadden, Lionel Strongfort, Earle Liederman, Arthur Hyson, Prof. Matysek are only a few of the best known.

Next consider what school and college sports have done to advance the physical culture idea. Sports to-day are indispensable at our schools and colleges. Sports call for competition, and competition necessitates living according to the principles of physical culture. Innumerable corporations, clubs, lodges, and societies preach the thought to their members. They have their fully equipped gymnasiums, and they use them. A wealth of books and magazines treat about physical culture.

Everyone knows the Physcial Culture magazine edited by Bernarr Macfadden. Physical culture has established itself in every section of the nation and among all its citizens.

To a great many it has become a religion, a religion setting man forth as the Supreme Being. And therein lies the harm of physical culture. As soon as it becomes a means of per­ fecting the body to the glory of Man and not to the glory of God, the Creator of the human body, it is wrong.

The radical physical culturists of to-day are making physical culture a religion. They advise people who are “d(?wn and out” to turn to physical culture for salvation.

They tell you that a man who has neglected himself physi­ cally, mentally, and morally, can pull himself out of the rut by strict living according to the principles of physical cul­ ture. Attaining bodily perfection, becoming “super-men” is the reward they promise to those who become strict physi­ cal culturists. They even go so far as to say: Be well and you will be happy and good.” Isn’t that saying that health is a means unto righteousness, that health is god­ liness?

That that is not the case, however, we have ample proof in the Bible. Think of Saul, **a choice young man, and a goodly; and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person that lie: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.” A superb man was Saul. But what became of him?He disobeyed the Lord’s —301—

commands and was forsaken by the Lord. His wonderful body, his superb physique availed him nothing. Think of David, ‘‘lie was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance and goodly to look to.” But often did David commit gross sins, and what is more, he was incited to commit these gross sins out of admiration for the human body. Think of David’s son Absalom.

But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his feet even to the crown of liis head there was no blemish in him.” But Absalom was not good. He revolted against his father David, the king of Israel, and drove the Anointed of God from the throne. These examples ought to suffice to show that to be well does not mean to be good. “The Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the out­ ward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.”

But can physical culture not be justified at all? It cer­ tainly can. The body is a gift of 丨God and He demands the right care of it. When physical culture is a means toward the perfection of the body to the glorifying of the Lord, the Creator, by beautiful, strong bodies, then physical culture is right. “Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: there­ fore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” A person who after attaining a splendid body by means of physical culture, thanks and praises the Lord with the words: “Lord, thine is the glory,” has used physical cul­ ture justifiably.

Let physical culturists beware of the danger connected with physical culture. Let them remember “wliere your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Let them above all things ever keep in mind the Lord’s warning: “Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.”

It was resolved that a felt emblem of the editorial staff be awarded to each staff-member who served on at least six issues of the twenty-fifth volume, at the annual staff banquet.

Till： SOLI)IERS, B01VUS. At present Congress is seriously considering a plan of awarding a bonus to all ex-service men. It is seeking a plan by which it can pay the veterans of the World War a promised compensation. Where did the idea of a soldier bonus arise? Is it a manipulation of the Legion? No! even though the Legion is doing all in its power to force the issue. Do we still remem­ ber the day when our “boys” left their homes, their loved ones ?

I low they were sent to camp amid the cheers of those who staved at home, especially encouraged by those who were too l)usv to fight?

We do. But for the past few months the hope of a#soldier bonus award was somewhat dampened. The lobbyist is doing his utmost to thwart the award. In a recent address the senator from Wisconsin severely censured the “stand-patters” who in­ sist that the bonus bill should be a part of the proposed sales tax. A sales tax would penalize everv former soldier and compel him to pay toward his own meager bonus. This proposal has met defeat in the ways and means committee, and the “farm l)loc，” which is now in control of the bonus situation in Congress, favors the plan of obtaining revenue for bonus payments through the refunding of the debts owed to the United States by foreign countries.

This is without doubt the most plausible solution. With the approval of the president the British bonds, which are re—306— —

ceivable in June or July, can be used to finance the bonus and these will moreover be available several months before any sales tax funds can be had. The semi-annual interest provided for by the British budget amounts to $125,000,000, and this is due June 1st. Congress should insist that the money be paid.

Just recently the ways and means sub-committee, while at work on the administrative sections of the bonus bill, amended the measure to provide for payment of cash bonuses, beginning October , 1922, instead of October, 1923. The change was made at the insistence of Chairman Fordney, who is quoted as having said, “unless that is clone the Republican Party will be defeated.”

Quite well, if the party made the promise it should keep it. The English as well as the French have paid their men a bonus.

They have incurred an immense national debt on that account alone. But should we lend them our capital without interest, in order that they may meet their wartime promises? Ought not Congress to insist that the interest be paid at once? Ouglit not the dough-boy to have an equal chance with the poilu or the —G. O. Krause, }22. tommy ?

CONVICTION. Very nearly all the great men of history were men of strong convictions; the y were absolutely certain on their part that they were pursuing the only correct course. Coupled with their conviction was the determination, aspiration, and courage to carry out their ideas despite the contrary opinions of their contempor­ aries. This spirit in them accomplished these things for which they jire famous and left their “footprints on the sands of time.”

They were all ardent idealists who strove for their goals with an enthusiasm that no amount of opposition or difficulty could dampen. We must marvel at the enormous amount of effort exerted by these men. They seem to have been endowed with a superhuman endurance and capacity for work.

Yet, what gave them the energy and spirit to do the extraordinary ?

1 It was their love, their interest for the thing itself.

Even in our own sphere we see the inspiring effect of enthusiasm and interest. We accomplish most in those subjects that interest us.

People seldom judge an idealist correctly; they cither brand him “crazy” because his ideas do not coincide with theirs, or if they are partly in sympathy with him, they think him foolish for giving up. a peaceful life for one of constant trouble merely —307—

I for what he thinks is right—for his ideal. They cannot under­ stand why the idealist does not let things as they are rather than start an upheaval with himself as the object by attempting a reform. After a man has become famous, people overload him with honor and praise and forget how they once mocked and opposed him. History too is inclined to look only on the final achievements of great men and usually makes little mention of the trials, opposition, and hardships they had to undergo before they could persuade or force public opinion to accept their ideas.

Comparatively few men possess the ability to think for themselves and have the heart and courage to carry out their ideas against the opposition of the thoughtless rabble.

Any man having ideas of his own always is opposed. Take for ex­ ample a man like Columbus. Was he not shamefully ridiculed and scoffed at in his time? And yet he is now honored as the discoverer of a new world. Even our own renowned and worship])cd Washington and Lincoln were not as popular in their time as sonic historians would have us believe; still they had a cause, an ideal for which they were willing to offer their life and they unhesitatingly followed it to success.

Wc may not sympathize with the ideals of all the grea nicMi —Napoleon*s ambition for honor and power brought miser》 to millions; different opinions as to slavery and state-rights brought on the terrible Civil War,—but we cannot but admire tlu- man of principle and conviction even though we may not agree with him. Because of their sterling character and their stand for their honest convictions Jefferson Davis and Lee oc­ cupy just as honorable a page in history as the generals of the v ictorious North. Arnold and Vallandigham on the other hand arc the object and symbol of loathing aversion.

It is true, wc cannot by any means justify the actions of sojnc of our so-called great men; we admit that their unwavering convictions and firmness of purpose often did hun^anity more harm than good; but we nevertheless admire their deterniinc^.ness, and must admit too that, had their perserverance and enthusiasm been turned into the right channels, they have accomplished much good. are to be more than rubber-stamp men, mere mollyIf coddles, wc can not blindly follow the unthinking masses: but we too must have ideals and must unyieldingly strive for them despite what others think of us. Ambition for personal gain or honor, however, dare not be the motive for our efforts. Our We can object must primarily be to serve our fellow men.

.know from the beginning that our way of life will not be paved with roses. We shall have a hard, rough road to travel, because public opinion will be against us when our convictions compel us to go against it; censure will be heaped upon our shoulders.

But if we are men of principle and are really doing what we believe right, we cannot and will not deviate from our purpose.

We shall ignore everything and look only to our ideal.

But may our convictions not lead us astray and bring us and our fellow-men misfortune rather than gain ? We arc apt at times to be in doubt as to our ideals and feel inclined to be inactive and thus avoid the possibility of folly. This must not be. Nothing can be gained by doubting or inactivity. Wc must decide, but how? Hawthorne very fittingly sums up the problem when he writes in his “Blithedale Romance:,, “The greatest obstacle to being heroic is the doubt whether or not one may be going to prove one’s self a fool; the truest heroism is to resist the doubt, and the ptofoundest wisdom to know when it ought to be resisted and when obeyed.” 一D.

Ololbg^ Notes Rev. John Westendorf.

It is with great grief that we pen these lines to announce the decease of the Rev. John Westendorf.

The Rev. Westendorf passed his early youth in Zihvaukee, a small village near Saginaw, Michigan. He received his training for the ministry at old Michigan Lutheran Seminary at Saginaw,. For some years he was pastor in Kalamazoo, Michigan. From here he went to St. Paul’s at Saginaw and faith­ fully served there until his death. Through the many years in which he faithfully served his flock, he became dearly beloved to his congregation. It was under his able leadership that the congregation erected a beautiful new church edifice to replace the old building which was destroyed by fire in 1918. It was always a favorite wish of the deceased to serve his congregation in this new temple at least one year. But according to Divine Wisdom he was permitted to serve in the new edifice but little more than one half that time.

On the evening of February 27th, while he was on his way to church from the parsonage to conduct an evening service, he 'vas suddenly stricken. He was taken to the sacristy of the church; and when the seriousness of his condition was as—311—

ccrtained, he was rushed to the parsonage.

Here he passed away at eight o’clock,. r The deceased held several prominent positions in the Synodical Conference,.

He was first vice-president of the Joint Synod of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and other states and president of the Board of Trustees of the Michigan Lutheran Seminary.

The deceased is survived by his wife, eight children, and three grand-children.

He had five sons and four daughters, The oldest son, Immanuel, is employed in Saginaw. Two of the sons are in the ministry, one, the Rev. Adalbert Wcstendorf of Flint, Michigan, the other, the Rev. Bernhard Westendorf of Florence, South Dakota. The other two are "attending college., Winfred at Northwestern and Sieghard at the Michigan Lutheran Scminary at Saginaw. The oldest daughter is the wife of Prof. Adolf Sauer of the Michigan Lutheran Seminary. The Misses Margaret and Eleanora arc employed in offices in Sagina\v.

N. B.: Since the intelligence of the Rev. Westendorfs decease was received just as this issue was going to press, the report may be slightly iincorrect in one or two places and somewliat incomplete.

On the evei/*ng of the 14th of February Harold Bauer, the renowned Americ-an pianist rendered ;i wonderful ])roj»rain at our gymnasium. lie charmed his audience, although he was much more sparing with encores and more aloof to the audience than Salvi.

His interpretation of the masters was rendered with an impeccable technique and a masterly reproduction of the melo­ dies throughout even the most difficult passages,. Perhaps xhe best played number on his program was Beethoven^ Apassionata, into which he carried an unlimited wealth of feeling and technique,.

He is ranked as one of the greatest of living pianists.

It has been said of him that “when he plays on the piano, that queen of instruments, his music is like the picture of a great painter, impeccable, perfect; and it stands there in its beauty and cannot be changed.”

Such poems and declamations in dialect draw great acclamation from the audience and should be fostered.

It seems significant to us that there was no German on the program.

If this is the purpose of the society, it should be reconsidered. Those who believe that the transition from the German to English will be very sudden arc mistaken, We should certainly feel proud that we are in possession of the power to speak in two equally beautiful languages, Do we discard the one because an unholy propaganda has been spread against the race that speaks that tongue ? We hope the motive that drove the German entirely from the program of the Philomathean is much less sinister than a studied neglect of the tongue of the hated “Hun” would be.

BASKETBALL. January 28—February 8.

Sickness and injuries among a large number of the players interfered with play in the interclass basketball schedule to the extent that the Seniors’ 22-5 win over the Freshmen was the only game played between January 2S and February 8. The Frosh played without the services of Huebner, captain of the team and one of the most brilliant of players seen on the floor this year, who has discontinued his studies at Northwestern. His absence from the Fresh­ men lineup was very noticeable, for the team showed a total lack of offensive power, although it played its usual good defensive game.

February 11.

Two of the most interesting and liardfouglit games of the season were played on Feb. 11. After having twice suf­ fered defeat at the hands of the Juniors, the Seniors finally managed to slop over a 21-18 victory. As the score indicates i^was nobody’s game till the final whistle. At the end of the first half the Juniors were at the long end of a 12-10 score. In. the second half, however, the Seniors came up —315-—

I from behind and in the last minutes of play gained the lead.

The Freshmen uncorked the big surprise of the season, when they held the powerful Sophomore quintet to a 13-10 score. For a time it looked as if the new collegians would romp away with their first victory, but some timely shots

by Teut, Sophomore center, from the center, of the floor, frustrated their hopes. Sophomore championship aspira­ tions received an enormous boost, when Theurer, player of last year, again resumed his studies at Northwestern..

February 15.

The Seniors had little difficulty in trimming the Fresh­ men to the tune of 17-8. Nieman and Siegler, Frosh guards, played airtight defence in the first half, and held the Senior forward to only two baskets. In the second half, however, the Freshmen succumbed completely to the dashing attack and accurate shooting of the Seniors.

The Sophomores continued their winning streak, win­ ning handily from the Juniors, 22-12. They displayed a superb teamwork, which simply could not be stopped, while their defence could not be penetrated by the Junior for­ wards, whose shots were mostly desperate and lucky ones.

February IS. :

Fighting hard to stay in the race for the championship honors, the Seniors exerted themselves to the utmost and broke the winning streak of the Sophomores, defeating them 15-5. From the whistle the game was speedy and scrappy.

In the first half both teams battled on almost even terms.

In the second half the Soph’s effective running combination, Kleinke, Theurer, Teut, seemed to be off color, for Albrecht and Knoll, Senior guards, played havoc with their team­ work, holding them scoreless. Kuckliahn, the Senior’s rangy center, easily was the star of the contest, making points from long distances and almost impossible angles. Theurer played a good game for the losers, scoring all their points by three free throws and one filed goal. 1 The Juniors demonstrated that they are still to be con­ sidered as strong contenders for the title, when they trounced the Freshmen 24-6. The game started out as if it would be a close contest, but ended in the complete rout of the Frosh.

February 22, Washington’s Birthday, Either the Seniors and Freshmen did not deem it proper to exert themselves on a holiday, or the Juniors aiul Sopliomores were filled with the fighting spirit of George Washington and his colonists. The Juniors completely outclassed the Seniors, winning easily, 24-7 ,while the Sophomores showed the lowly Frosli how the game of basketball is to be played, 32-2. In spite of the lop-sided scores, the games were interesting at every stage. The wonderful floor-work and accurate shooting of Redlin, the Junior’s left forward, easily made him the matinee idol of the day.

February 25.

The Sophomores settled themselves more permanently in the position of league leaders, when they trimmed the Seniors, their closest rivals, 17-10. Time and again the vic­ tors used Up entire floor for lightning passwork and then scored. Kleinke and Tlieurer were the stellar performers for the Sophs, while Gentz went big for tlie Seniors.

The Freshmen have yet to win their first victory. Their attempts to do so at the expense of the Juniors failed, and at the end of the game they found themselves at the short end of a lop-sided score, 42-14.

Prevailing warm and rainy weather, which made skat­ ing impossible for the greater part of February, interfered with play in the city hockey league to the extent that only one scheduled game was played. By virtue of tlieir win over the Gondoliers, on Feb. 21, the Pliers and Northwestern, who on the same day won tlieir game by forfeit from the Elks, are still tied for first place, with tlie Gondoliers rest­ ing in second.

卜伽㈣秘3 In an interesting exhibition game on Feb. 26, North­ western^ puck-chasers defeated a select team from town by a score of 4-0.

Baseball.

Although winter is yet everywhere very much in evi­ dence, baseball has already taken on a serious aspect at Northwestern. Basketball paraphernalia is being shelved and baseballs, gloves and bats gotten in readiness for the coming season. During the last week in February the van­ guard of baseball candidates already took possession of the spacious gym for its first training, which consisted chiefly In calisthenics and track work. On March 1st Capt. Krenke issued an official call for candidates, to which over 40 eager aspirants for a berth on this year’s Varsity nine responded.

Coach Parisius immediately took charge of them and is daily drilling them in the rudiments of base-running, bat­ ting, sliding and other individual phases of the game. Un­ til weather conditions are more favorable, practice is neces­ sarily confined to the gym floor, which affords ample space for playing catch, stopping grounders and infield work on a miniature diamond.

Of last year’s team five veterans remain to form a nu­ cleus around which Coach Parisius expects to build another winning aggregation to carry on Northwestern’s fame in the national game. They are: Capt. “Wallie” Krenke, catcher, “Ail” Gentz, 3rd base, “Bud” Knoll, 2nd base, “Dutch” Kleinke, 1st base and W. Groth, center field. Hinnenthal and Bolle, the mainstays of last year’s pitching staff, Bierwagen, who had the highest batting average on the team last year, Meier and Sauer, dependable outfielders, have been lost to the team through graduation. They will be sorely missed.

Coach Parisius .however, will be able to pick many able players from among the abundance of promising material, who will compensate for the loss and whom lie can groom for the vacant positions. Even a probable lineup cannot as yet be ascertained at this early stage of the season, for competition among the candidates for the different positions is unusually keen. On the pitching staff, Winter, Jaeger, and Wegwart are daily developing speed in the battery room, with Henning, Niemann, and Lehmann at the receiv­ ing end. Winter pitched great ball for the second team last year and also saw some service with the regulars. In Jaeger, who did such phenomenal pitching in the preparatory league last year, Coach Parisius believes to have a great ‘find”.

—318—

He will be given a tryout as will also Wegwart, a speed art­ ist and heavy hitter, who hails from Woodland. With the return of Henning, who was forced to discontinue baseball last year on account of an operation, an important cog has been added to the catching division, and together with Nie­ mann and Lehmann second-team catchers, will strengthen that department considerably. Rossin, captain of last year’s second team, H. Engel, Redlin, Knispel and Siffring are likely candidates for the infield, while Gainm, Voigt, A. En­ gel, Siegler and Wahl are making a strong bid for an out­ field position. All of the other candidates are also assert­ ing themselves. We do not wisli to present either a pessi­ mistic or ail optimistic view of the 1922 season. But with seven veterans still in school and with such an abundance of promising material from last year’s second team, North­ western should put a creditable team in the field.

The schedule has not yet been completed and drawn up for publication. The first game, however, is scheduled with the University of Wisconsin at Madison, April 1.

Athletic Board Notes.

Through a misunderstanding H. Lehmann did not re­ ceive a football “N” at the close of the football season. The board took up the matter and decided to present an “N” to him. It is regretted that he could not partake in the annual football banquet.

H. Engel was chosen assistant baseball manager for the coming season.

The board requested that the following clause be printed in the Black and Red: Although Mr. Knoll played only fifty-eight minutes in the past football season, the Athletic Boai^d deemed it proper to give him the official “N” because of his faithful work in the past three years and because of the recommendation of Coach Parisius.

Sec. H. Engel.

1?, COLLEGE CHIPS has introduced a new department, “Student Opinion.” Kach month a select question is given out in answer to which the students write short original essays. The thought must be the writer’s own, no books or reference works may be consulted for ideas; the object is to promote original thinking,. The best esssays arc then selected and published in this department. This plan should do much to arouse student interest for your college paper.

The question for January was: “What Has Been the Greatest Force in History?” The answers of the selected essays arc: Love,” “Ainbition,” “Christ,” and “God.” The short ar­ ticles are certainly worth reading.

The The exchange column also attracts our attention. editor goes into detail, but his department lacks force because he is not definite or deliberate enough in his criticism, He sees everything through an optimistic lens. His column abounds in terms of praise such as “excellent,” “especially commendable,” “well written,” “of high order;’’ “very” alone occurs seven times.

It is true: praise should unhesitatingly be given where it is merited; but we believe that the editor is inclined to measure it out too liberally.

Your alumni certainly caii not complain that their Alma Mater has forgotten them, nor the college paper that the alumni have forgotten it,. Your “Personals” department is one of the best and most extensive of our exchanges.

Character of Christopher Columbus” are both interesting and instructive, but we have not the space to go into detail,.

We appreciate the privilege of being able to exchange with such a paper as College Chips. 氺

How much is our education costing, and where does the ne­ cessary money come from? Carroll College wanted to find out.

Following the example of the university, it sent out a questionaire.

The men spend approximately $60 per month. Board aver­ ages $32, amusements and clothes $10 each. $595 carries the average Carroll man over from September to June. The co-eds spend slightly more for clothes, but economize on amusements; their average yearly expense is $580.

Very few Carollites have a regular allowance. The major­ ity write home whenever “financially embarrassed.” Over half of the men and about a third of the women are self-supporting.

From an economical standpoint these figures compare fa­ vorably with the digest of the “U” questionairc published in the January Commerce Magazine.

The monthly expenses of tliQ university student arc: Men Over $125 $100 125 75 100 Under 75

W omen

12^ per cent------ 12% 12% per cent----- 12% 40 per cent55 35 per cent20

per per per per

cent cent cent cent

Out of this they pay for room and board : Men $50 or over 40—$50 35—40

50 per cent 30 per cent— 20 per cent—

Women 55 per cent 30 per cent 15 per cent

Here also the figures show that the women require more for dress: Men Women Over $50 10 per cent25 per cent $25—50 30 per cent50 per cent 15—25 10 per cent10 per cent Under 15 50 per cent•15 per cent —321——

Allowances are not common at the university either; father is favored with a long account of laboratory and athletic fees and other expenses whenever the pocket-book shows signs of collapse! “Approximately one fourth of the men and a tenth of the women are working all or a part of their way through school.”

The fact that we are a boarding-school part of whose expenscs are met by the synod reduces our expenses to a minimum.

Board is $3 per week, and the other expenses connected with the institution arc comparatively low.

Board, books, tuition, and other fees in no case amount to more than $200.00 per year.

We have no way of arriving- at definite figures; but if one is not too extravagant in dress or amusements, he should be able to subsist quite easily on $300—$350. 幸

With this number the twenty-fifth volume of the Black and Red is complete and herewith becomes history. We regret that financial circumstances compelled ns to discontinue some of our exchanges. Only those publications in whose schools we are most interested or who for special worth arc more desirable could be retained.

The “exchange” list of the departing volume numbers six­ teen magazines: Luther Echo; Wartbur钇 Echo; Augustana Mirror; Houghton Star: Spectator; D. M. L. C. Messenger; Wartburs： Quarterly; Goshen College Record: Alma Mater; Luther College Visitor： Commenian : College Chips; Augsburg Echo: Hcmnica; M. H. Aerolith; Newberry Stylus: Blue and Gold; The Campion; Calvin College Chimes. And four weekly papers: The Gustavian Weekly; The Manitou; Messenger; The Augustana Observer; The Carroll Echo.

In the name of the departing staff we thank our “exchanges” for the friendly criticism and suggestions they have given us during the past year. We assure our old friends and also the newer additions to our exchange list a warm and hearty welcome from the staff of the coming twenty-sixth volume.

The exchange editor’s work is finshed, and he heaves a sigh of relief buti nevertheless reluctantly relinquishes the pen to his successor; reluctantly, because his task has become more and more fascinating with the growing intimacy with other schools and their papers. We bid them good-bye as we would old familiar friends.

—322—

Again we wish all staffs and especially our successor the very best of success. Farewell.

一In February the grippe reaped a harvest in the dormi­ tory. The more serious cases were attended to in tlie sick room. Several victims of the grippe who live in the vicinity of Watertown went to their homes to recuperate. Kleinke, ’24, and Teut, ’24, were ill at their homes a week, the' for­ mer in Fond du Lac, the latter in Burlington. The latter part of February, Schlavensky, ’25, and Wilbert Frank, ’25, went to their homes. Zastrow, and the two Timmel broth­ ers, preps, recovered at their homes in Oconomowoc. Reul, prep, was sick a week at liis home in Helenville. 一On his optician’s orders Albert Jentzscli, prep, journeyed to his home in Medford to rest his eyes. Jentzscli has been home three weeks at this writing.

—On the first Saturday in February, Tay Uetzmann, ’21， dropped in on his brothers, Monnie, ’22, and Gerhard, prep, and also on his relatives in Watertown.

—Bernhard Koch, ’25，and Blume, prep, spent Washing­ ton^ birthday at their homes in Kenosha and Wauwatosa.

—Chuck Ihlenfeldt, prep, made a trip to Milwaukee on February 12th. and had glasses adjusted to his eyes. After Chuck had his glasses, he took in the sights.

—On February 13th, Arnie Brandt, J22, bid his many friends adieu. ‘Jap’’ has discontinued his studies at North­ western, much to the regret of his fellow-students. 一Herbert Stevens, *24, made three trips to Milwaukee in February to have his eyes attended to by an optician. On those trips Stevens also visited his relatives.

—Many students passed February 18th and 19th away from their books. Tappy Sponholz, ’25, spent those days at liis home in Milwaukee, as did Tuffy Wegwart, who lives in Woodland. Tuffy Werner and Carl Lawrenz, preps, were at their homes. Rollie Rosclien, prep, enjoyed himself at the home of Streich, prep, in Johnson Creek. Emil and Bernhard Leitzke, preps, made Emil’s sister in Ashippun think that Thanksgiving conies twice a year. 一Oscar Roeseler's mother and brother from Plustisford stopped in to see Oscar, February 18th and 19th.

—February 26tli, W. Weissgerber, ’24, and Wallie Ott, hiked to Coonie. Arrived there, they sought the home of Dudley Rolula, ’22, where they did away with a much needed supper. 一Vic Voecks, prep, was entertained by the two Nehring brothers at their home in Oconomo'voc, February 26th.

—Karl Kuske, ’19, of the Seminary, was here February 25th and 26th, ostensibly to see his brother.

—John Martin, 25, started for Lake Mills the day before Washington’s birthday per pedes. But lie was caught in the rain, and eventually had to pay the twenty-two cents for car fare. 一After the literary program on Saturday, February -25th, the sophomores, instead of going north, to the dormitory went south until they reached the home of Margaret Ott, a classmate, and then disappeared. Ten minutes later they were seated in hilarious groups at several tables in the par­ lor of Miss Ott’s home, noisily playing games. Miss Ott proved to be such an entertaining hostess that, when the party disbanded, the merrymakers bid each other “Good morning.” 一On February 12th ,Gus Krause,，22, left the premises at promptly 1:30 o’clock and walked north. After lie reached Fourth Street we lost trace of him. Rumor has it —324—

::

that he “fliwered” south, again and finally landed beyond the Pair Grounds. From very confidential sources we lately heard that he celebrated Lincoln’s birthday past the Pair Grounds. We wonder if he walked back! Let’s wait until the next birthday. But no! On the 26th. he left again.

Another birthday most likely. 一On February 27th, Winfried Westendorf was called to his home by the sad news of the death of his father, who • was pastor of a congregation in Saginaw, Michigan. Our sincere sympathy attends Winfried on his sad journey home.

Not紙 Miss Ruth Mansfield was our visitor Saturday, Feb. 11.

Margaret Ott, Frieda 'Zeisler, and Louise Thurow spent Feb. 21 and 22 with Paula Radloff in Jefferson, where Paula is now teaching school.

Miss Verna Wilde and Miss Adela Dornfeld, two former co-eds, visited the Girls’ Room Saturday, Feb. 25.

Miss Leona Seefeldt of Hustisford, Wis., visited classes with her sister, Peb. 28.
