LITTLE, BUT OH MY! One clay not so many years ago my grandmother asked me to get an armful of wood from the woodshed. I do not remember the excuse I had to offer. At any rate, she must not have liked Ameise, du Fauler . . . unci lerne” was her my attitude. “Gehe reply. On that same clay I kicked over several ant hills and watched the little insects hurrying and scurrying to and fro, carrymg the “larvae” and ‘‘pupae’’，which looked like so many kernels of p uffed-rice, into safety. The mounds teemed with ants. Each one, however, seemed to know just what to do and where to go. In a little while they had their work clone. “So that’s what grandma meant. Get going when you are to do something and don’t quit until it’s done.”

The study of these little, insignificant insects is a very interest­ ing one. The ants are related to bees, wasps, and sawflies. Those we know usually dwell in “colonies” or “cities” which are founded by a single female after her “nuptial flight/* It is the male’s doom to die after the honeymoon. After the first brood is hatched the founder has nothing else to do but keep on laying eggs. She is treated like a queen. “Servants” are always about her ministering to her wants. Socially the colony is divided into two groups, “serv­ ants’’ and “nurses.” The “servants,” or “workers,” as they are also called, build the houses, fortifications, bridges, and do the re-

pair work if some one is mean enough to kick their little “city” over. The “nurses” hold a position of great responsibility. They have to take care of the eggs which must be cleaned and licked every day until the worms or “larvae” are hatched. The “larvae” are tended to and fed with the greatest care until, they change to “pupae, the intermediate state between the “larva” and the insect proper.

There are many different kinds of ants, ranging from the largest, the “driver” ant in Africa to the pesky little ant that gets into your honey or sugar. Some species build hills fifteen lo twen­ ty feet high. It is surprising how a little insignificant insect can carry a piece of dirt ten times its own weight to such a height.

Their enormous strength is really something to marvel at. Tt was estimated that if man had as much strength as an ant in compari­ son to size, he would be able with ease to lift a big' cight-wlieelecl locomotive off the track or take his neighbor's house, if he bore him a grudge, and dash it to pieces on the sidewalk with no more difficulty than smashing a duck egg. That would be fun!

For some time it was believed that ants stored for winter use grains of wheat or corn out of which they would 1)ite the germ so that they would not grow. There is no reason for this assump­ tion. Most ants are carnivorous. Some live on honey, plant lice, and nectar. The mistake is undoubtedly made because of the simi­ larity of the “larvae” and '4pupaeM to wheat and rice kernels.

The most interesting group of the anl family is the “driver” ant of Africa. These ants arc only a half-inch long and arc strictly carnivorous. For this reason they are equipped with mandibles or jaws. The “driver” ants do not live in any one place like the wood ant or the leaf-cutting ant, but wander about from place to place m a long, seemingly endless column. This column is divided into three groups, “workers， nurses,” and “soldiers.” The “nurses form the inner row, on both sides of them are the 4'work­ ers,and on either side of the “workers” the “soldiers,” which are slightly larger than the rest. From time to time one of the “solcUers” makes a sally to the side and runs by chance against some bu疼，rat, rabbit, or perhaps an elephant. They are said to be totally blind. When crossing a stream they roll up into a ball, the • “soldiers” who have water-proof wings forming the outside of the lump, and float across. When on the other side they resume their march in the regular order.

They are just little ants, but oh my! Hamilton in his “Animal Life in Africa，’’ says: “Even the most fierce and powerful animal and the most deadly snake, become, in the face of their attack, mere panic stricken fugitives rushing vainly for relief to the nearest 2

water, or desperately rolling on the earth in their attempt to free themselves from the torture of a million poisonous bites.”

It is a regular picnic when an army of these “driver” ants attack a village. They usually make their raids at night, because they are very sensitive to light and water, John W. Vandercook in his article, “Ants That Kill Elephants,” relates an incident of two missionaries who were stationed at one of these villages. One clay they were urging the savages to wear more clothes. That night the “drivers” made an unexpected attack and the missionaries were forced, together with the natives, to flee without clothes to the nearest stream.

These attacks serve as a general housecleaning for the village.

Any lice, cockro.uches, bugs, mice, rats, or any other vermin are totally wiped out. The village is left spick and span.

Many books have been written about the domestic polity, lan­ guage, migration, affect ions, passions virtues, wars, diversions, and so forth, of ants. As to their language, it was announced recently that Dr. Ditmar, a noted entomologist, is going to broadcast the noises made l)v ants working in their colonies, celebrating, fighting, and so on. Tunc in!- fust a little insect, but certainly a wonder.

HEINRICH VIII. VON ENGLAND UND LUTHER Es giebt wohl knuni ein lutherisches Schulkind das nicht den Namen des j^rossen Rcformators Luther kennt und was er fuer die Kirche getan hat. Doch sind unserer viele, die nicht wissen, class Luther jemals etwas mit der Kirche Englands zu tun gehabt hat.

Wie kam dazu，mit wem verhanclelte er. was war der Erfolg dieser Verhandlung,? Es soil meine Aufgabe sein, cliese Fragen kurz zu l^eantworlen. Ich wercle mich darauf beschraenken, einige Auszuege anzufuehren aus dem Buche: “Heinrich der VIII. von England und Luther/' Es wurde (liese Schrift von Dr. Wilhelm Walther verfasst, und es sollte jeder erwachsene Lutheraner sie lesen, denn sie ist ein wichtiges Stueck aus der grossen Reformationsgeschichte.

Der Mann, der in dieser Geschichte die Sache Englands vertritt, ist der wohlbekannte Heinrich VIII.，der oftverheiratete Mon­ arch aus dem Hause Tudor.

Heinrich hildete sich auf seine theologische Wissenschaft nicht wenig ein. Da bietet sich ihm Gelegenheit, einrnal alle Welt zu zeigen, class er, der grosse Koenig von England, auf dem Gebiete der Theologie weit besser zu Hause ist, als bei den Standesgenossen seiner Zeit ueblich ist. Versetzen wir uns in die politische 3

l：?i

Lage des deutschen Reichs. Kaiser Karl schwankt, ob er den kuehnen Luther als Heifer gegen den zu politischen Intrigen neigenden Papst benutzen oder aber als Ketzer verbrennen soli. Da haelt Heinrich von England es fuer angcmessen, zu handeln. Er sendet an den deutschen Kaiser eiiien Brief, in dem er ihn niahnt, die Ketzerei mitsamt Luther auszurotten, urn die Ehre und Wuerde der Kirch zu erhalten. Aehnlich schreibt er an den Kurfucrsten der Pfalz. Vergebens wartet er auf Antwort, vergebens wartct er darauf, dass man ueberall in Deutschland die Scheiterhaufcn anzuende, um die Ketzer zu verbrennen. Statt dessen erfaelirt; er, class das Werk der Reformation iminer mehr um sich greift.

Nun ja, ist Deutschland unfaehig, sich dieses Ketzcrs zu erwehren, so muss England seine geistige Ueberlegcnheit zeigen.

Heinrich greift daher die “Aergste” aller Schriften Luthers an, “von der babylonischen Gefangenschaft der Kirche,M die das Fundamment der roemnschen Kirche enreisst, die Lehre, dass wir mu. (lurch die von den Priestern verwalteten sieben Sakramentc Gottes Gnade erlangen koennen. Der Koenig will vor aller Welt das in dieser Schrift steckende “Gift” aufdecken. Diese "Verteidigung der sieben Sakramente” wurde an den Papst geschickt und ani 2. Oktober 1521 in feierlicher Sitzung cles Papstes und seiner Kardinaele verlesen. Der Papst war ueber die Schrift hocherfrcut und verlieh dem eitlen Koenig den Titel eines Verteidigers cles Claubcns (noch heute ein Titel des englischen Koenigs) und alien scinen Lesern einen Ablass von zehn Jahren und zehn Quaclrag：eiicii. Die Schrift Heinrichs zeichnet sich .besonders aus (lurch ihre sonderbare Logik, (lurch die vielen unwahren Verdaechtigungcn, die sie gegen Luther bringt und (lurch ihren vulgaeren Ton, der walirlicli nicht koeniglich klingt.

Doch Luther laesst sich nicht irre machen, er antwortet dem Koenig von England in so scharfer Sprache, dass es sclnvcr zu sagen ist, wer von beiden den wissenschaftlichen Anstand mehr verletzt hat. Luther meint natuerlich, Heinrich habe so wenig •二 eines Koenigs wuerdig geschrieben, class, er ihn nicht 'vie ein Koe­ nig behandeln brauche. Er straft Heinrichs haemische Verdaechtigungen Luegen. Seine ganze Schrift ist von dem Ton beherrscht: “Der liebe Koenig, der Luegenkoenig, Koenig Heinz, Heinriens, von Gottes Ungnade Koenig von England, der teure Buchschreiber, das giftige Luegenmaul.”

Es war fuer den Koenig nicht geraten, auf Luthers Gegenschrift zu antworten, denn Luther hatte ihm vorgeworfen, dass er die Schrift nich allein geschrieben haette. Auf diesen Vor'vurf einzugehen getraute sich Heinrich nicht, denn Luther hatte Recht.

Doch verteidigten ihn mehrere englische Gehehrte und auch der bekannte Thomas Turner mit der Schrift: “Ob der Koenig aus 4

t

^

j

England ein Luegner sei oder (ler Luther.” Heinrich beklagte sich ueber Luther beim deutschen Reichsregiment, beim Kurfuersten von Sachsen unci hei Herzog Georg. Er denke nicht daran, versicherte er, Luther einer Antwort zu wuerdigen, da er nichts vernuenftiges vorgebracht habe. Doch er sehe es als seine Pflicht an, den Namcn und (lie Eh re (ler deutschen Fuersten zu retten und er ersuclie sic, (lie verHuclite luthcrische Sekte noetigenfalls mit Blutvergiessen niedcr/.usclilagen. Der Kurfuerst antvvortete in seiner* ueblichen Wei sc: Er vermoege solche theologis'che Fragen nicht zu beurteilen. Da er also mit diesem Gesuch keinen Erfolg hatte, nuisste er sich an der Menge von Gratulationsschreiben und den Versicherungen, er liaise wie ' ein zvveiter David den Riesen Goliath” unschacdlicli gemaebt, sich genuegen lassen.

Doch nmsste er immer wieder mit grossem Aerger in den Berichten seincr Gesandtcn lesen, class die lutherische Ketzerei auch jetzt noch uni sich greift.

Doch sol he der kocnig bald Gelegenheit finden, sich an Luther zu raechcn. Das cnglische Koenigreich hatte die enge Verbindung mit deni deutschen Kaiser geloest unci man naeherte sich seinem Gcgner Franz von Frankreich.

Dicscr Wcchscl trug viclleicht dazu bei, den aus Daenemark vertrichenen, in Deutschland evangelisch gewordenen Koenig Chris­ tian II. zu der Ansiclit zu verleiten, Heinrich VIII. habe auch in religioeser Bcv.iclumg; seine Stellung geaendert. Es hindere ihn nur der bittere Groll ueber die Beleidigungen Luthers an einer freundlicheren Stellling' zuni Protestantfsmus. Er meinte daher Luther sollte an den Koenig ein Entschuldigungsschreiben schicken, so wuerde dieser ein offener Freund des Evangeliums werden. Obwohl Luther ahnte, dass er einen Fehler beging, sandt er dennoch eine demuetige Schrift an den Koenig, in der er diesem klarlegte, dass er nicht die lutherische Lehre zuruecknehme sondern nur, dass es ihm Leid taele wegen der groben Weise, in der er geschrieben habe. Luthers Befuerchtungen erfuellten sich. Heinrich liess abermals ein Buch drucken, in deni er sein Selbtsbevvusstsein und Schau traegt. Das seine Verachtung fucr den “Klosterbruder Buch erklaert Luthers Brief nur flier hinterlistige Heuchelei, er wolle seine schaendliche Lehre nur noch weiter verbreiten; und doch bestehe diese darin, dass “man sich in Suenden waelzen duerfe ohne alle Furcht.”

Luthers Gegner waren ueber diese Schrift in heller Freude.

Da Luther merkte, dass es dem Koenige nur darum zu tun sei, seine persoenliche Ehre zu raechen, so schwieg er. Als er jedoch eine von Emser aus Dresden gedruckte Abschrift von Heinrichs Buch bekam und in diesem die Angabe fand, dass er, Luther, sich in seinem Briefe zu einem Widerruf erklaert habe, da kann er sich 5

nicht laenger enthalten und er antwortet mit der Schrift: “Auf des In dieser Schrift Koenigs von England Laesterschrift Titel. unterscheidet er scharf zwischen Person und Sache. Es ist ihin nicht urn seine Person zu tun, sondern um seine Lehre; und die kann er nicht widerrufen. So waren seine Vorahnungen doch richtig gewesen.

Wir eilen nun ueber die bekannten Jahre hinweg, in denen Heinrich VIII. von England sich mit deni Papste im Zwiespalt befand und kommen zu der Zeit, als er, im Maerz des Jahres 1531, mit der roemischen Kirche voellig brach und sich als cinziges Ol^erhaupt der englischen Kirche erklaerte. Es sollte (lie alte katholische Kirche mit ihrem gesamten Lehr-systcm und ihren wesentlichen Institutionen aufrechterhalten bleiben, cs solle mil* als ihr Haupt an die Stelle des Papstes der Koenig treten. Doch schon im Jahre 1532 mussten Boten des Koenigs in Wittenberg verhandeln. Was konnte das bedeuten ? Wir erfahren, class Hein­ rich im Jahre 1535 beschloss, eine Annaeherung mit den Protestanten herbeizufuehren. Mehrere Gesandte des Koenigs wurden nach Wittenberg geschickt, um mit den Theologen zwecks einer Einigung zu verhandeln. Melanchton erhielt sogar vom Koenig eine persoenliche Einladung nach England zu kommen. Luther war ueber diesen Umschwung in der Gesinnung des Koenigs aufs tiefste verwundert. Voll Hoffnung schrieb er an den saechsischen Kanzler: “Der Koenig erbietet sich, das Evangelium anzunehmen und in unserer (evangelischen) Fuersten Buendniss sich zu begeben und unsere Ap'ologie (das Augsburger Bekcnntniss) in seinem Koenigreiche gehen zu lassen. Und 'veil solches alles, von uns ungesucht, sich selbst also schickt, so mag Gottwobl envas vorhaben, besser und hoeher, denn wir verstehen.” Heinrich VIII. hatte nach Deutschland geschrieben, er wuensche zwar eine Eini­ gung hinsichtlich des Glaubens und der Lehre, doch wuerde es dazu einer “]Vlilderimg” einiger Punkte in clem lutherischen Bekenntnisse beduerfen. Aber auch er milderte” seine bisherigen Anschauungen. In Jahre 1536 verfasste er zehn Reformationsartikel; diese warnen nicht nur vor uebermaessiger Verehrung der Heiligen oder vor dem Glauben, dass Messen imslande waeren, Seelen aus dem Fegefeuer zu befreien; sie erklaeren auch die Heilige Schrift neben den drei alten Symbolen fuer die Norm des Glaubens. Ja, sie erwaehnen nur noch drei Sakramente; Taufe, Busse, Abendmahl. Sonderbar, der Verfasser der Verteidigung der sieben Sakramente gegen Martin Luther laesst gleich diesem vier von ihnen fallen!

Im folgenden Jahre geht eine englische Bibeluebersetzung mit koeniglicher Erlaubniss aus. Jeder Geistliche muss das Volk zum fleissigen Gebrauch derselben anhalten. Wundertaetige Bilder 6

wcrden zerstoert ocler (lurch oefFentliche Vorfuehrung ihres Me­ ehan ismus deni Gespoett ties Volkes preisgegeben. Prozessionen werden untersagt, Hunderte von Kloestern aufg'ehoben, die Bettelorden aufgeloest.

Als man jedoch in Deutschland die Kunde erhielt, class Hein­ rich Anna Boleyn hatle hinrichtcn lassen und am folgenden Tage Jane Seymour geheiratet hatte, da wurden die Evangelischen misstrauisch und hraclicn cl it* X'erhandlungcn ab.

Ini Jahre 1538 berief c*r jedoch abermals einen Konvent der evangelischen Gelehrten nach London. Hier zeigte es sich, class Heinrich gchalTt hatle, die J.Cvangelischen wuerden ihm grosse Koiizessionen machcn, groesser als die Evangelischen mit gutem Gewissen durfton.

Doch dicse Anna war cin recht haessliches Weib. Nach eincm halben Jah re liess cr sich von ihr scheiden und heiratete die katholische Jane Howard. So war es mit dem Fortschritt des Protestantismus vorbei und cine katliolische Reaktion setzte ein.

Heinrichs sochste (Jcmahlin, Katharine Parr, war evanglisch, docli luieleto sie sich ilircn ICheherrn irgendwie zu reizen.

Als die Reformation spaeler in ICngland durch-drang da hatte sie nicht melir den Gcist der dcutschen Reformation, sondern sie trug ein culvinistisches und schwaermerisches Gepraege.

AN UNSUNG HERO

一

Janies Wartly was a Senior in Marburg High School. He was not only a good student, but a good athlete and a good friend to all with whom he had formed an acquaintance. Because of his short stature his friends affectionately called him “'Vart.

We shall know him bv that name.

“Wart” as captain, had led the high school’s basketball team through a successful season and had come out on top in the sectional championship. Now the time had come for the team to leave for Boise to compete for the state championship. Everybody was excited, everybody but “Wart.” His mother was sick, very 7

t

i

sick. He would just as soon have stayed at home, but he was cap­ tain and the mainstay of the team. He had to go!

Two days had passed at Boise, they had won the first two games. He had received no word as to the condition of his mother.

He was beginning to get worried, His friends noticed it and were alarmed. That afternoon he received a letter but it was not very consoling. No improvement could be noticed, the doctors would be able to tell by tomorrow. They would let him know if her con­ dition should be worse. He could stand it no longer, another must help share his troubles. He called his best friend to him.

“Billy,” he said, “I’ve been trying to keep up courage, but I’m weakening. I’ll have to tell you, my mother is very sick, and it’s worrying me to death.”

“Billy,” a devout lad, who had a heart for sympathy, laid his hand on “Wart’s” shoulder and answered: “Don’t worry, Kid, leave it to God, he’ll take care of her better than any one of us knows how. She’ll be all right, lake my word for it.”

These words had a far reaching effect on “Wart.” It was the night of the semi-finals. He went into the game a new man and it was only through his stellar floor work that his team was on the winning end when the gun went off. Everybody was wild, even “Wart” felt that way. The championship, however, was not yet theirs. They had the toughest team left. Riverwood had achieved state-wide acknowledgment for its basketball team. It had gone through the entire race without once being in danger of defeat.

“Wart” knew it, the whole team knew it, but what of that; they could be beat, couldn’t they ? “Wart” slept restlessly that night.

Intermingling thoughts of his mother and the game filled his mind.

He arose at nine o’clock feeling more tired than when he had gone to bed. He was “all in.” His mother! how was she? He must see if any mail had come for him.

“Good morning,” chirped the clerk as he approached the counter.

“Good morning; has a letter come for me yet?” asked “Wart” all in one breath.

The clerk looked through the mail. “I’m sorry,” he said.

“Thank you, and when will the next mail come in?”

“About three o’clock,” he answered.

Three o’clock came and still no news. He felt a little better.

“She must have improved,” he said to himself. He suggested a walk to “Billy.” They walked till supper. Meanwhile ..Billy had swung the conversation to the game and the plays they were to try. After supper, the coach talked to them for a half hour.

The game was just a few hours off.

8

At 7.45 the boys came into the gymnasium. The place was crowded to capacity. Ironmound and Philipps were already on the floor shooting baskets. They were to play the preliminary.

The cliccr leaders were busy and the gymnasium shook, quivering with the Rah! Rail! Kalis! “Wart” thought only of the game.

Ironmound look the preliminary. Now Riverwood was coming on the floor. A cheer went up (everybody thought they would win). As soon as the tumult had ceased, “Wart” led his team out; a similar tumult ensued. After a little basket-shooting, the ref­ eree's whistle called tlic game. Riverwood opened with two baskets in succession, Marburg took time out. It broke Rivenvood’s streak, and before it could a^ain gain its pace Marl)urg- had gath­ ered three field goals and a free throw. “Wart” played “like crazy” and “Billy” had contributed two of their goals. Riverwood, how­ ever, was dclcniiiiu'd ik>1. to 1)e beaten and after a succession of suc­ cessful plays the half, ended, Riverwood 15, Marburg 10.

The coach came clown to the dressing room.

“Nice joins', fellows, 'vc’rc going to beat this gang, they’re tired, they can’t last mudi longer. You, “Jim,” get under the bas­ ket once in a while: gel your rebounds, “i)»illy，” you haven’t been following them in any too well in this game; and you, “Wart,” take that fellow coming clown on your side in their center play, let Henry take your man.M After a five-minute lecture they re­ turned to the floor.

The whistle blew，the second half was about to start. The centers were ready to jump, up went the ball. Marburg got the tip-off. It meant a basket, Riverwood got the second tip-oil. Their center play, a b\^ factor in their scoring the first half, failed utterly.

Only once did they score on it, when Henry fouled his man and he made the throws. This gave Marburg confidence, and after hold­ ing them scoreless almost all of the second half the score stood Marburg 22, Riverwood 17. Riverwood called time out. Marburg was sealed on the floor near its rooters’ section. Cries of encouragement came from all directions, and amid the din “Wart” heard his name called. At first he didn’t want to look up, but one of the fellows nuclged him.

“Someone’s holding up something for you, it seems.

“Wart” looked, his face grew pale, his eyes bulged, he tried to talk, but he couldn't. It was a telegram for him. Thoughts of his mother flashed through his mind, had she died? No! No! Before he could ask what the message was the referee had blown liis whistle. Only one minute left to play—the crowd was furious, the players wild, but “Wart” was delirious. He forgot what the score was, he couldn't grasp what they were doing. Riverwood got the tip off. “Wart” stood motionless, his man got the basket; 9

another one followed in quick succession. Marburg 22, Riverwood 21.

“Wart” thought they were behind. He jumped in for the next tip-off, got it, stumbled, rose again, and shot. A gasp went up from the crowd. The ball hit the bounding board, rolled around the rim and out just as the gun went off. A big cheer arose.

“Wart” ran down to the dressing room, he didn’t want to see the score, he was ashamed. He had lost the same, but how was his mother ? Sitting with his head in his hands, the coach, who was the first to come down, approached him and said, "What was the matter, “Wart, were you dazed?”

“Yes,” he answered, “have you a telegram for me?”

“Wart” opened it with a nervous hand after the coach had given it to him. It read: CONGRATULATIONS STOP

BEST OF LUCK IN THE TOURNAMENT STOP YOURS JENNIE He was found slumped in the corner when the rest of the team came down.

‘What’s the matter, “Wart,” are you sick ? Get up, kid, we can’t celebrate a victory like this.”

“A victory? Did we win?” asked “Wart” in a daze.

“Yes, but we wouldn’t have, if you’d have made that last shot.”

“Why not?”

“Because,” they exclaimed, pulling him out of the corner, “you shot at the wrong basket.M T.

ENTER VOLUME XXXIV It is with a timorous hand that we, the new staff, put forth our first issue. As in all other attempts may the first be found the hardest. This does not mean that we shall continue with a view of indifference; on the contrary. Other staffs before us have, no doubt, experienced the same feelings, yet they have maintained themselves worthy of the publication, and why can’t we?

It shall he our aim ever to keep the students and alumni in­ terested in their paper. To attain this end we must have their undivided efforts, a co-operation which will give us a diversification of new, interesting, and worth-while material. It means that we cannot commit ourselves to any conventional style or precedent; a change here or there may be necessary and any good suggestions shall be honored, if possible.

Furthermore, we do not expect to go through the year without an occasional black eye, they are often good reminders, and rather than discourage us, will spur us on to greater efforts. There-.-lly from the alumni, fore, along with the material, criticism, especiau will be accepted in good faith, and appreciated.

Since we cannot put out a better publication than the preced­ ing staffs, we shall try to uphold the high standards set forth by them. Herein are embodied our earnest desires.

WANTED—A PLACE TO TALK As we look back over past ages, we notice that most of the peoples who added much to the culture of the world in certain fields, such as literature, government or religion, had places in which edu­ cated and clear-thinking men could come together and converse or argue matters which pertained to the culture of their age. I will mention a few of the outstanding of these gathering places.

• In Greece, especially in Athens, most of the body of free citizens were interested in literature, art, and politics. Therefore when they met in the gymnasia, the open market places and even the barber shops, they argued these matters. And each man could give his opinion. In the market places one could always find orators speaking on one or the other of the subjects that intcrcsled all the citizens. 1£ one should see a group of citizens standing： in earnest conversation one could be sure they were speaking of poli­ ces or art. We all know what Greece accomplished in these things.

In Rome the public baths served as meeting; places for cultured men. Here, while being bathed, nibbed, and anointed, they conversed about problems of great interest to them, especially gov­ ernment and law, as also art and literature. Each man could give his opinion on some subject with assurance that he would be heard, for these problems interested them greatly. The poor, iineclucated classes could use the baths only at certain times of the day.

During the rest of the time a patrician could go to the baths certain that he would find some of his friends there to converse with.

In England the meeting places of these men were the famous coffee houses. Not a day passed in which each one of these houses did not see its certain group of patrons assembled here in conversa­ tion over some topic of interest, especially literature. Thus many of these houses ljecame famous as the headquarters of certain schools of authors or poets, led by some noted critic or poet. Here the subject of literature would be taken up and the works of the poets and authors, old and new, were discussed.

Now what have we to substitute for these places today ? Have we a place where the thinking_ men of each community can assemble to converse on matters of general interest? I know of none.

The lack of such places can perhaps be partly attributed to the number of our daily newspapers and the ease of attaining them.

The average man gets what he thinks is sufficient to know on the subjects of politics and the like, already discussed for him in the newspaper. There is no chance for argument. Most people, seeing a thing in print, take it for granted. The cultural journals and mag­ azines perhaps offer a substitute, but on the whole I think our age misses much by the lack of some such place.

Unsere Basketballspieler haben sich nun aiich in ilirem Loclie ausgetobt. Der Ausdruck soli sich aber nur auf das letzte Spiel beziehen, in welchem es selir bunt hergegangen ist. Siegreich kamen wir aber doch hervor. Im allgemeinen hatten wir unter Herrn Voeck’s Anleitung als Traineur eine intercssante Saison.

Das letzte Basketballspiel hat schlimme unerwartetc Folgen gehabt. Unser Bachelor’s Benefit Association war wie ausgestorben, seitdem der Chor in der Stadt gesungen hatte. Manche Glieder, besonders Herr Kuehl, forderten aber unbedingt cine Versammlung (lurch ihr freies Benehmen waehrend des Spieles. Die Folge war, dass sieben Junggesellen, nach mehr oder weniger gruendlichem Verhoer, schuldig erfunclen wurden. Einer nach deni andem, Sam Lemke zuletzt, suchte dann auch seine sichcn Saclien in der Halle zusammen. Innerlich ueberzeugt von seiner Stellung zeigte Sam jedoch eine bewunderungswuerilige Rulie. Dct groesstc Held bei der ganzen Sache war wohl Iierr Martin, welchcr sich in einen solchen Eifer bei clem Hinauswerfcn gearbeitet hatte, (lass er die Rolle eiiies Henkers haette spielen koennen.

Unser Daddy Hackbarth bekam Wei h nach ten ein “Flashlight” und sann seitdem nach, wie er am besten Gebrauch davon machen koennte. Auf einnial hat ers. Mir nichts, dir nichts geht er nach Milwaukee und kauft sich eine Ford. Gleich gehts auch nach Tomah. In PortageT lief er in eine “Filling Station” ein und wollte gleich die ganze Gasolinpumpe mitnehmen. “Nein, nein, das geht nicht!” sagte der Eigentuemer. “Dann geben sie niir ein Quart Oel,"—Daddy behauptet, $65 ist nich zu viel fuer einen Kursus in der Automechanic, wie ihn die Ford selber vorschlagcn wird.

Wenn ein Goi es soweit bringen kann, in einer Eckc des juedischen Tempels, eine Apotheke zu errichten und den Vorhof der Frauen zu beherrsehen, so muss er ohne zweifel Aufmerksamkeit auf sich ziehen. Wenn er aber dann, mit Stricken z'vanzig. Mai gebunden, vor den Altar gelegt wird und im Handumdrehen sich davon befreien kann und unangeruehrt durch die Menge Streichen kann, dann muss ein jeder staunen. Dies alles hat unser drastischer Drud Drews fertig gebracht. .

Moenche sind wir keineswegs, und doch fasten alle Studenten ein paar Mai alle vier Wochen. Bei manchen greift das Fasten die Galle an, andere aber versuchen sich einzureden, dass es ihnen gut tue. Die naechste Woche beweist aber gewoehnlich imniei. das Gegenteil.

Beschaeftigt, wer ist es nicht in diesen Wochen vor Ostern. Wie haben wir uns doch in einer These mit dem Diobolus herumgeschlagen—wie haben wir uns nicht ueber alle Massen angestrengt, ueber die Aufklaerung uns aufzuklaeren, damit das Examen uns nicht im Dunkeln finde! Nachdem wir damit fertig waren, vertief14

ten wir uns besonders in die Exegese des Epheserbriefes. Viele haben sich auch waehrend dieser Zeit fur Osterpredigten vorbereitet. Mit aller Arbeit wuchs aber auch bestaendig die Sehnsucht nach den Ferien.

Tlie literary j)rograni of March 15, was presented by the Phi Gamma Rho. Prof, Sitz acted as critic and Mr. Kettenacker was master of ceremonies.

As an opening number the mixed chorus rendered two selec­ tions : one, "Oh, Praise the Lord,” by Mendelssohn; the other, “May Dance.” Mr. Gatz, the first speaker of the evening, delivered an original speech on .‘Pep,” in which he showed, by means of good illustrations, that it does no good to worry and that anyone can keep from being a grouch by merely exercising a little will-power.

This was followed by a cornet duet, “Tyrolean Fantasia,” by G. E. Holmes, which was played by L. Bleichwehl and W. Dobratz.

Mr. Kreie, who was to have been the second speaker, was unable to appear on the program, being confined to the sick-room by a severe cold.

The play, '*The Violin-maker of Cremona, was a success ,and displayed good acting on the part of the characters. Mr. Fischer acted as Taddeo Ferrari, the Violin-maker. Giannina, his daugh­ ter, was played by Miss Lutovsky. His two pupils, Filippo and Saudro, were impersonated by Mr. Armin Shultz and Mr. Rowe.

On March 22 the Philomathean presented the last program of the season. Mr. Pape had arranged the program and Prof. Schu­ mann acted as critic.

15

The band opened the program with two mimbers，“Jolly Fel­ lows Waltz/' by Robert Volkteclt, and the march, “Paramount.’’

Mr. Koehler then gave us some humorous, but nevertheless lielpful hints in a speech on A Timely Phase of Etiquette,M 1 )y D. Stewart.

The next number was a trombone-saxophone duct, “Annie Laurie,” Mr. Trapp playing the trombone and Mr. Warlike，the saxophone. The second speaker, Mr. Raascli, had chosen a timely topic for his German speech—<4Arbor Day.” "l'lie speech itself was good, but was to some extent not distinguishable in the rear of the auditorium on account of being delivered too fast.

The play, “Birds in the Air,” was a success and was enjoyed by everyone present. It was especially rcm.irkablc in that it had been written l)y two of our fellow-students, M r. RadiolT and Mr. Witte. Although it was the first attempt of these two younj•: play­ wrights, it nevertheless displayed considerable ability and knowl­ edge in the field of dramatics. The characters were well chosen and gave a good account of themselves by their acting-. rI'hc fol­ lowing were the members of the cast: Sam Breed__ Dominique __ A Well-meaning Stranger Officers of the Law.........

’.......... V. Schulu ........W. Hocpncr .............A. Maas .......... H. Schult/. ___ H. Baumann R. Schwartz N. Ehlert L. Schlicsscr II. Meyer

Hangers-on about the saloon: Joe Spike___ Pits Axel

..... H. Eckert ___ H. Fritze ......... R. Roth ...A. Hellmann

The play was coached by Mr. M. Franzmann. SchwenzenI，s orchestra also deserves honorable mention for helping- on their part by their kind co-operation to make the play the success tlmt it was.

Thus concludes another year of activity for the literary socie­ ties. Although it was a successful year, we should nevertheless like to see more plays written by students. Home-made (pardon the expression!) plays are more highly appreciated 1)y our auclicnees and they offer good training for the writer.

With the close of the literary season there opens another sea16

t —the concert season. At present all of the organi­ son of activity— zations are busy practicing and rehearsing for the Mid-season Con­ cert.

Ferencz Molnar's Romantic Comedy Success ‘‘THE SWAN，， presented by THE NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE LITERARY AND DRAMATIC SOCIETIES In the Auditorium MAY 16. 1930

A new kind of task suddenly thrust upon a person often begets a state of bewilderment. And when one has some forty odd college papers showered upon him, a confusion of tongues is also very likely to occur. So bear with me.

It is something like coming to Chicago after living in a hamlet all one’s life. There is a disquieting loss of perspective, but also a rapid bombardment of burning ideas. New vistas are suddenly opened up, and a few rays of light occasionally shine through them.

Here are a mass of college papers, the brain products of hun­ dreds of college students. Each paper is a sort of photographic representation of the culture of the respective colleges. What en­ lightening discoveries can be perceived ?

17

I Since our own Black and Reel is common territory, let’s use that as a background to set off some of the characteristics of other papers.

The first thing we notice in all this literature is a total lack of encyclopedia competition. Remember that feeling of depres­ sion, that slumping of the heartbeats that one gets upon finding in the Black and Red a three page exposition on “The Sociological Phase of the Political Instigations Underlying the Lithuanian Rev­ olution ?}, Other papers are remarkably considerate in sparing their readers such cause for hypochondria. It’s a fine feeling to be free of that sort of thing—something like stripping for a cool swim.

Perhaps the reason is that most of the other papers arc week­ lies and bi-weeklies. Yet there are occasional flashes of pure and solid thought in these rapidly produced sheets. After all, the only excuse one can offer for not breaking through with a little origin­ ality is that we haven’t the talent.

But the pendulum swings the other way too. After dissipat­ ing on the mass of fritters and spice cake of some of these college productions, this writer would sometimes rush to the nearest shelf in the dormitory, grasp a Black and Red, and munch contentedly on good solid rye-bread and cheese.

Some of the papers on the exchange can not be truly represent­ ative of the culture of their colleges. They seem to have imbibed too much of the poorer phase of the modern generation—Jazz^ showmanship, “rah rah” sports. The following article is taken from the Freshman issue of 4<Student Life,” Northland College.

“Are we going to make whoopie, and we all chime in with I’ll say so.

“The fun begins at 8.15 until dawn—mebee. There will be balloons, confetti, and tons of refreshments. Oh! why go into de­ tail. No thought has been given to the expenses. We shall enter­ tain you with the best dance bands in the country, so put on your dancing shoes, and come over and join the frolic.

“Don’t forget to come even if you have to break into baby brother’s bank.

“Why wait and hear others rave about it, come on over, don’t be bashful.

Just a tip.”

Note the literary style. It is full of pep, no doubt, but lacking greatly in dignity, in poise. It's the Freshman number, however, and that can excuse much. It must also be said that there were several worth-while articles therein, and the Freshmen should at least be given credit for an honest-to-goodness attempt to be ori• ginal and entertaining.

It seems to be customary that the exchange editor quote a few 18

items, in various papers of unusually high worth. After we had searched feverishly through a half-dozen papers, we finally opened up the “College Chronicle” of North Central College, a new paper on the exchange list. Two cleverly written columns are “The Sage Says” and “Fantasies.” These writers have the quality of perceiv­ ing the undercurrents of college life and discussing them in an en­ tertaining manner. “The Inquiring Reporter” shows real humor besides being able to keep his finger on the pulse of public opinion if he wishes. The very presence of such a column as “What You Think” is evidence of an enviable spirit of intellectual toleration and willingness to take criticism.

One of the most unusual papers on the exchange is the “Tuskegee Messenger” of the Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. It is a serious paper with a lofty aim. Th.e articles show that the negro feels his racial position keenly and is exceedingly desirous of creat­ ing an interest in the work which is being done to assist the col­ ored man up the ladder of culture.

INTER-CLASS BASKETBALL The Senior Class basketball team won the championship of the collegiate department in the inter-class tournament this season.

The fast Senior five, who played consistent basketball every time they appeared on the floor, snatched the crown of laurel without a great deal of opposition being offered them by their opponents.

19

They suffered only one defeat, which deprived them of 1000 per cent. This fatal blow was dealt them by the Sophomores.

The Junior team, famous for its excess of "big shots,” seemed rather harmless at the beginning of the tournament. It soon, how­ ever, emerged from its lethargic state to cope with the Sophomores in a stubborn struggle for second, honors.

The Sophomores raised strong pretensions to the crown for a time, but weakened. It might be said in all fairness that they suf­ fered from an obvious “streak of hard luck” at times, losing sev­ eral games in the last minutes of play or by only a few points.

The Freshmen, who were not privileged to experience the thrills of a single victory in this tournament, lay claim lo an undisputed possession of the cellar position. Although they manifestecl their pent-up strength an occasional spurt, it nevertheless proved too short-lived to insure victory for them.

They were tied for first place until the last game in which Quart a fell a victim to Tertia. Quinta made a fair showing in the tournament, taking third place, whereas Sexta, as could be expected, was hopelessly lost in most of the games. It satisfied itself with learning the fundamentals of the game without much hope of victory.

BASEBALL The old question whether baseball should be dropped at North­ western as an inter-collegiate sport has finally been settled by ath­ letic authorities. Northwestern has abandoned baseball as a com­ petitive, intercollegiate sport. Most colleges have dropped base­ ball as a major sport within the last few years, which has been arousing more difficulty each year in arranging a schedule. To keep up baseball at Northwestern now would necessitate long trips for games. The sorry plight of our athletic treasury, which is given to evanescent tendencies, renders this impossible. Further­ more, the baseball season is of too short duration for the establish­ ment of a strong" nine, for about the time that the team begins to function smoothly it must disband on account of the summer vacation. The consideration of such complications has induced ath20

letic authorities to drop baseball. This will not mean, however, an absolute abandonment of our ''national sport,” for the necessary measures have already been taken to offer all such who wish to play baseball for the sport they derive from it an opportunity to do so.

Northwestern lias joined the Industrial League of Watertown, a league that temporarily comprises five teams: the Booth Shoes, Lewis’ Beewai.es，Brandt's cashiers, the Watertown Tableslides, and the Northwestern team respectively. Northwestern has been guar­ anteed six games with this league. The first game will be played May 3, and the rest the consecutive Saturdays till the close of our school year. Since this will be Northwestern^ first encoun­ ter with the local teams, it is rather hard to predict how North­ western will nialdi with them, but if we dare heed rumors we should he prepared to meet with strong competition.

At this time of writing it is rather early to predict who will occupy the various berths on the team. Northwestern was subjected to severe losses by graduation last year, for there are only four lettermen remaining from last year’s squad. Hence there to work into the fore. Apwill be ami)lc opportunity for proximalely thirty responded to Coach Kleinke's call for candidates on April 7. With our letter-men, Capt. Fritze, Heilman, Kaasch, mul Heyn lo serve as a nucleus and with several promising prospects among tlic material we feel assured that the anticipation of the molding of a fairly strong; nine after the Easter re­ cess will be realized.

Golf enthusiasts are parading up and down the campus in their checkered knickers. The old "swimming hole” is beginning to claim the Wednesday and Saturday afternoons of our swimmers and divers. Spring must be here.

The twenty-first birthday is always an important event in a man’s life. To celebrate this memorable occasion Hans Schultz, ’31, invited the collateral reading class to his room on March four­ teenth for a feast. The treat was enjoyed by all.

“Chubby” Raasch has to have his exercise before going to bed.

Not so very long ago he had to pull in his bed which was hanging out of the window before he could give himself up to the goddess of sleep. “A dirty trick!” says “Chubby.”

Ghosts maybe! Emil Doll reports that just on the hour of midnight a few weeks ago five or six figures with a big- light walked into his bedroom. He was going to yell, but his voice was gone. Then he grabbed his pillow and began to swing it furiously around his head. The figures disappeared. Nothing was heard of them since.

Kaschinske, who has not been well of late, left for his home on April fifth. We hope to have him with us again after Easter.

When in spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, you can see him waiting eagerly for the mail man. Fritze and Koenig are running close competion in the number of letters they receive. Koenig gets at least one a day. Fritze as high as four.

Speaking of letters, we are all wondering what makes “Steer” so popular. For over a week he has been getting one or two letters a day from all over the United States. Some encourage him to be a lawyer, others to take an agency for toothpaste, perfume, candy, and the like, still others to join a romance club. Everybody must pay for his popularity.

Oliver Witte’s parents and youngest sister came to see Birds in the Air,” a play written by Mr. Witte and Mr. Radloff.

Five “preps” could not resist the temptation any longer. On March 16, they broke the ice and took a swim.

“Benny” Hahm has discovered a new way to amuse himself.

With a peanut tied to a long string he fishes for squirrels from his room window.

Hats off to the hikers “Spike” and “Banty.” They set out for La Crosse one Saturday noon. They had good luck both ways; for they covered 375 miles iin twelve hours. While at La Crosse they enjoyed a light lunch—10 eggs each.

At last the dust has been wiped off our telescope. On April 4，Prof. Eickmann took the Sophomores up into our observatory to gaze at the moon and a few stars.

Dr. Ott’s canoe is again on the rippling waters of the Rock River. Proudly it glides along with its new coat of green paint and its new name, “Lois Ruth.”

22

Rehearsals for Ferencz Molnar’s “The Swan” are now in full swing. The play will be presented on May 16, 1930.

The Sophomore class has given letters to its team. There were six first team men who received one. Kaschinske, only mem­ ber of the second team, received a half-size letter.

April 1, most of us were lip a half hour ahead of time. The big bell rang at 5.30. We all thought it was six o’clock an dwere very much surprised when at six the big bell rang again and heard “Si” Schultz and Oscar Siegler yell, “April Fool!’’

Kettenacker bit hard on April Fool’s Day. His generous friend Pless gave him a piece of candy. After chewing it a while, he finally tasted soap. lie asked “Frex” for an antidote and re­ ceived another piece of candy with a soap center. This was too much for Reuben. He made a dive for the window.

“Frex” Roth, *30, Miss Zorr, '32, Stiihr, ‘33, “Corny” Trapp, ’31，Miss Meyer, *33, and Miss Trapp, *33, gave Professor Kiess­ ling's play, “The Faraway Fiance,” for the St. Mark Y. P. S., on Tuesday, March 25. The music for the occasion was furnished by the German Band.

(ttn-lEb Notes.

Inez Nienow had a birthday this month. Her father and mother visited her that day.

Catherine Coogan spent a whole week in Milwaukee, passing her time in a rather unusual way. She wrote the advertisements for Gimbel’s home furnishing department.

• Vivian Engel’s mother visited her several days ago. Vivian accompanied her1 mother to Milwaukee and came back with pretty curls.

Eugenia Meyer spent a week-end in Milwaukee, too, this month.

I suppose it is custome that the new editor of this column call attention to the little green box over in the hall of the Recitation Building, but since past editors have done this with but very poor results, I do not place very great hopes upon such a procedure.

For the benefit of new students, however, I wish to say that this box formerly was used by the students as a place to deposit any “sparkling bit of humor” they happened to chance upon. 本氺* Prof.: “Struck, what does equinox mean?”

But here’s the “klear.” This is to be a sort of dumping-ground (beau­ tiful metaphor, what?) for all the specimens of low wit. We want you to get all those puns out of your respective systems and clear tlie way for some real honest-to-goodness wit. Besides there will be a prize for the very rottenest pun turned in. What this prize will be I have not yet decided, since none of the Sextaners have offered to take my air-rifle as security for a loan. But send ’em in, boys, and make ’em rotten. There's only one restriction: You’re not to sponge from Shakespeare. That boy was terrible.

Watertown, Wis” May, 1930

Number 2

Entered at the Postoflico at V/ntortown. Wis , as s ccond cclass matter under Act of March 3, 1879. Published monthly. Subscription, One Dollar.

“EGO” Do you fancy that you have power ?

Or that you arc wise?— Then beware the stroke of lightning, the earthquake, the fire!

If you are powerful, Build yourself a fortress that will withstand Death and Time.

If you are wise.

Explain to me the growing- of a blade of grass.

Have you done this, did you say?

Yes, you are both powerful and wise.

But now create for me a spark of life out of nothing.— Then you will be God. G. R.,，32.

GYPSIES Nearly everyone has seen or perhaps even come into contact with gypsies at some time or other. Comparatively few people are，however, acquainted with the origin and the life and character of the gypsies of today.

27

:

Although it was believed for many years that the gypsies had originally come from, Egypt, whence they had also supposedly received their name, yet it has been proved in recent years that their original home was India. They started to wander for reasons un­ known to us and appeared in Europe in the fifteenth century. In France they asserted that they were Christians from Bohemia, having wandered thither after being expelled from Egypt by the Saracens. For that reason the French call them Bohemians to this day. In Germany they were described by Korner as a “strange multitude of Oriental vagabonds, who went afoot and camped in the fields at night, being thieves, and fearing arrest in the cities.”

In England the gypsies appeared at the beginning of the six­ teenth century. They multiplied very rapidly and became robbers, thieves, and vagabonds. The British government tried in vain to exterminate them by passing acts of suppression; they only mul­ tiplied the more rapidly. At the time of the American Revolution very many gypsies were forced into the British fleets and armies.

Most of these deserted, however, and made their home in America.

The majority of these English gypsies bought land, which was then very cheap, but they did not settle on it to any great extent, A considerable number of gypsies also came to this country from France, Germany, and Hungary. They did not even settle down as extensively as the English gypsies; yes, they are still wandering about at the present day. During the summer they may (re­ quently be seen at carnivals and races where the men sell toys, etc., while thd women beg and tell fortunes. They also frequent cattle fairs, at which they trade horses and sell brooms, baskets, and the like. They now generally travel from place to place in automobiles and sleep in tents. Several years ago gypsy camps were a rather common sight in this vicinity also.

Many people believe that gypsies are no longer very mimerous in the United States. Simson, however, speaks of a village in Pennsylvania and another one in New England, originally founded by gypsies, in which their native language, Romany, is still secretly spoken. Many peddlers are gypsies and many of the smaller tin, crockery, and basket shops of New York are kept by men of part gypsy blood. Hungarian gypsies are very often to be found in. negro-minstrel bands. There is probably not a single circus in Great Britain or the United States in which there is not at least one performer of mixed gypsy blood.

Gypsies can be distinguished especially in their bodily appear­ ance and in their language, which is probably derived from the San­ skrit. The typical gypsy is generally slight of build, though strong and sometimes tall. His skin is olive-colored; his large eyes are dark and brilliant. The mouth of the gypsy is rather small, but 28

3 finely shaped, and his smile discloses rows of pearly teeth. His hair is long and black. Gypsies are by no means as dishonest as is generally supposed, although, since they are often very poor, they easily yield to temptation. They are grateful for kindness, but very quarrelsome, at least among themselves. Yet if one of their number is arrested, they will make unusual efforts to obtain his release. One of their chief characteristics and the one for which they are best known is their cunning in doing business. I at one time had the opportunity of seeing a gypsy trade horses at a fair. Of course he knew every trick by which a true horse may be made to seem worthless and vice versa. On this particular day his victim was a farmer who had bought a fine mare, but had spent the morning talking politics with wineglass in hand at some place of doubtful reputation. The gypsy liked the farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horse, so he started talking with him and led him on until he had moved the farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pride so that lie was eager to show his skill in trading.

The gypsy offered him an apparently sound black in exchange and after much talking the deal was finally made. The farmer drove away with the black. In the meantime the gypsy talked with the lookers-on and finally gained every one of them for himself. But within five or ten minutes the farmer came back again thoroughly enraged and loudly demanding his own horse back, for the black had the heaves so badly that lie could only be driven a few blocks at a time. The gypsy, however laughed at him as did also the bystanders, and the farmer was forced to be satisfied, though he was extremely angry and ashamed.

W. D. LO, A FABLE! Hail to the ultra-scientific age! Hail to thee, O man, who rulest all!

The tired business man lies abed on a Monday morning. He yawns. He stretches prodigiously amid grunts and creakings. It is already two hours after office time, but he should worry. Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t he the boss? To whom must he give account?

At last he heaved the covers aside. The sun was bright this morning, but it was cold. He stepped to the window, grasped handful of ultraviolet rays and turned their direction full upon his bedside. Ah, he could dress in comfort!

When he came downstairs breakfast was ready. He yawned three times more, seized an orange, squeezed 17 water soluable C vitamins out of it and gulped them down. That would leave 44 class 3 vitamins for dinner and 37 class 4 for supper. Just the 29

proper quota. But there comes the street car! He snatched up his hat and coat. Good, just in time. As the car approached, his keen business eye noticed that a few electro-magnetic lines of force about the overhead wire were straying off into space unused.

Drat that blasted conductor anyway. Just when he was in a rush ―why, there was enough drop in the electromotive force to waste several thousand electrostatic units of charge! He’d give him a piece of his mind. Such idiotic inefficiency!

The reprimand lasted throughout the ride. It started at a high emotional pitch on the part of the business man, but gradu­ ally dwindled down to the point where he gave the conductor a cigar and let it go at that.

There was the old office building. It had greeted him with that same sour, vulture-like mien for the last 18 years. Ho-hum!

—such is life. Methodically he pressed the gravity-releasing but­ ton at the foot of the stairs. His body was partially freed from the force of gravity, and he floated gently upward, suspended in air, guiding himself with the railing at his right hand. As his foot touched the top of the stairs a newspaper rustled guiltily in the stenographer’s room. A hum of voices in the bookkeeper’s office ceased abruptly, and the office boy’s merry whistle broke out in­ stead. “They can’t fool me,” thought the employer, smiling know­ ingly. “Too wise for ’em, eh?” But he was feeling too content with himself to press the matter.

He sagged down into his desk-chair. Same old chair, same old desk. He snapped on the light and bent over his papers. That blasted light! Snatching all the light rays within his reach, he cast them savagely into the waste-paper basket. Hadn’t he ex­ pressly told the janitor to put that new type of mollified bulb in his light ? Such infernal inefficiency!

Oh, he had nearly forgotten to call up the Millikan Co. this morning. He adjusted an acoustonometer at his desk for number 117, then stepped to the window and put his ear to the sound waves.

Darn, they were a beastly long time about connecting up this morning. “Hello, Millikan, office ? Speak to J. R. Saunders, chief clerk of shipping department, please? What? He’s not at the office yet!

Oh, allright, Fll call later.”

Inefficiency again!

“Curse him, won’t these business men ever learn to be on time?”

Suddenly he perceived that the room had become chilly. Step­ ping over to a block of wood in one comer he whittled off a small sliver with his pen-knife and abstractedly released the kinetic energy of a few molecules. Hardly had he settled himself- com­ fortably at his desk when he began to feel too warm. Irritated, he strode across the room and squeezed three of the molecules back 30

I [into their inert state. He wiped his fingertips on a silk handker­ chief and resumed his duties.

Then suddenly, “Miss Schmall! O, Miss Schmall!’’ (He was j too explosive a man to use the bell.) The stenographer tripped into the room, keeping time to her nimble steps on her everlasting l 'Vrigley’s Spearmint.

“Miss Schmall,M sounded the boss impressively, “JTust at what | time did you leave the office last night?”

The gum process was temporarily suspended as her voice piped, “Why—er—Oh, about 5 to 5. Why, was there somebody here to see me?”一very innocently.

No!” snapped the boss impatiently, “But I happened to come back last night at 4.37 for some papers I forgot, and you were gone!”

“Oh, Mr. Perkins, I was just over to Crawley’s office with some statements”一in a wounded nightingale tone of voice.

But the boss sprang from his chair. “Stand over there in front of that white screen.”

She did so, hesitatingly. Meanwhile Mr： Perkins set up in [the center of the room his cerebrometer. It looked like a photog-. [rapher's camera, but its function was to cast upon that white screen a diagram of a person’s mental processes. Miss Schmall had not -the slightest idea what it was for and made no attempt, while the f boss was turning1 the crank, to ornament her thoughts for parade, i The process lasted only 45 seconds. The employer scrutinized the I network of lines on the chart. Suddenly he began to sputter and foam in a dangerous rage—~<4Miss Schmall!—I have the pleasure | to—Oh, hang it, you’re fired! Go to Jenkins and get your check.

You’re through right no'v!” The stenographer never came out of [the (laze until she had crossed the threshold.

Again at the desk, scowling over the files. The office boy unI obtrusively shuffled into the room. Under his arm was a box that looked like a portable phonograph. He set it on the window-sill, turned the crank, and immediately all the dust particles in the room fle'v into the box. But a sudden roar from the boss nearly upset boy, box and all. He had carelessly neglected to divert the sound waves from the employer’s ears. Again the crank went round.

But evidently something was misadjlisted in the machine, for the powerful suction absorbed the very collar button of Mr. Perkins’ shirt and two loose fillings from his teeth. The employer had not yet ceased lecturing volubly about the carelessness of certain office . boys, and now his exasperation reached its climax. With curse and oath he assisted the lad out of the door in the style of Yale’s :star drop-kicker.

Confound the luck! That spoiled the entire morning again.

31

That infinitesimal fraction of nothingness should have been fired, but he had an intelligence reading of 164.32. And yet, what did an intelligence reading amount to? The employer’s faith in that instrument of science had been fearfully shaken ever since the time he had a friend turn the machine upon his own一But such unpleasantnesses were best forgotten.

There was now only 45 minutes left before lunch. It really wouldn't pay to start working now again. Taking his hat and coat with a clear conscience, he stepped to a door that led to the open air. While still muttering imprecations upon the office boy he pressed the gravity release and soared downward. “Ouch ! Ow !

Oh, my corn, my corn! Cursed be these infernal sidewalks ! Curse that janitor anyhow! Didn’t I tell him to keep that machine well oiled? Some day Til be spraining an ankle, dropping there like a shot.” The next words were mumbled under his breath.

It was something or other about inefficiency.

The street car was here. Just on time. The gentleman of business stepped in. For the 1007th time that day the conductor pressed the button releasing the force of inertia. He regulated the electromotive force on a calibrated instrument just as Perkins had seen him do for 18 years. The car, that emblem of the relentless monotony of time, jogged along, conveying the boss through his endless cycle of daily life.

THE WALLUMBRELLUS The latest scientific discovery in birds is the so-called Wallumbrellus. Have you ever heard of it? Perhaps not, since all of you have been so diligent in your studies. Let me describe it to you in detail.

In some respects it is decidedly like a human being. It has a large brain, for instance, which it rarely uses. Then it has a third leg which it carries folded up like one of the “pods” of a camera tripod until old age comes, when it calmly extends it to its full length and uses it for a cane. Its other two legs have welDbed feet. On the soles of these feet are five horny perforated projections. The Wallumbrellus uses these in two ways, depend­ ing on its whims. It may either stiffen them and use them like cleats on a football shoe to gain a foothold on the steep side of an iceberg, or it may distend them ancl fasten himself to a branch by drawing in air through the perforations, on the vaccuum cleaner principle. In either case the parallelism to a human invention is unmistakable.

32

I

c'"

The Wallumbrellus, unlike other birds, has no wings, but has, instead, a growth on its back which has the function of removing hydrogen from the atmosphere and storing it within its tough walls; when thus inflated, it forms a kind of balloon. Now when the Wallumbrellus wishes to fly, it simply lifts its feet from the surface of the ice, at the same time withdrawing the cleats which allowed it to maintain its footing, fills the normally deflated sac or “balloon” on its back with hydrogen, raises itself into the air, and floats about at leisure.

Instead of a tail, it has what might sooner be termed a rud­ der, with which, when it should choose to land, it may direct its course toward a tree. On coming into contact with the tree, the Wallumbrellus sinks its cleats into the tree’s bark, and then pro­ ceeds to the ground.

The neck of this singular bird is fully six feet long but strange­ ly enough, only an inch and a half in circumference. At mating time the Wallumbrelli show an almost human characteristic—they pinnacle "neck." Individual pairs are often seen perched on a________ of some iceberg, with necks intertwined, indulging in this amorous pastime.

In another respect also the Wallumbrellus differs from other ornithological species; instead of two eyes, equidistantly spaced from the beak, it has but one, and that a large glass orb, a glass eye, as it were, placed in the very center of its forehead.

Its beak is peculiarly shaped, the upper part being from eight to ten inches, while the lower part is only from three to four inches long., thus making it very difficult for the bird to eat. Yet it man­ ages to subsist, eating almost anything that is digestible, its fa­ vorite food being wind-pudding and air-sauce, of which it consumes enormous quantities at one time.

The real beauty of the bird, however, lies in the magnificent color combinations of its feathers, the shades varying from a light pink, through all the intermediate shades of red, purple, and blue, to a midnight black, with orange and yellow flecks on the pointed tips.

The benefits derived from this bird are so numerous and great,, that it is only possible to mention a few in this brief sketch. The feathers, because of their exquisite, almost ethereal, beauty, are being sought and demanded throughout the entire civilized world for the adorning of the fairer sex’s head apparel.

Not this alone. Numerous reports have been coming from well known restaurants and hotels of the country that the feet, espec­ ially the cleats, when ground fine and used as an ingredient in making goulash, impart a flavor to the dish which makes it astoundingly delicious.

33

Another report from the underworld informs us that the Wallumbrellus’ neck, owing to its extreme flexibility and toughness, is being used very successfully in the. bootlegging industry as a si­ phon, since it does not wear out as quickly as rubber.

To be sure, Woolworth and Co. have also derived their benefits from this bird, for it has been discovered that its bill can easily be carved into combs that run those which are made of expensive ivory a close second.

Since I have mentioned but a few of the countless benefits de­ rived from the great Wallumbrellus, and many of those omitted are of equal importance with those mentioned, you may see for your­ selves that it would be a profitable business for anyone who is in­ terested, to raise them.......... But I may add here that some diffi­ culty might be encountered in obtaining the first specimen.

A SAILOR'S REVENGE The race between the two yachts* the Cassandra, and the Dr. Lombardo, was in full course. The port of Mayaguez, the goal, was already in plain view. The Cassandra, with its quarter-mile lead, could not be prevented from outsailing her rival in that longdiscussed race by anything less than a blundering calamity.

Captain McLinn of the Cassandra felt that peculiar aching of the bones, that flightiness of the nerves which a man feels when he has an uncontrollable desire for something. The rival boat, the boasts of its crew, the glory waiting for him in Mayaguez, the reckless bets of his sailors—Ah, nothing in the world could snatch the sweetness o£ victory from him now!

The captain was leaning over the side watching the swirling wake with a contented smile twitching at his lips. A cry came from those very whirlpools, it seemed. He raised his glasses. Sure enough, a man overboard. One of his own pesky sailors! Of all the times in th'e world to pick out for falling overboard, this was the~~curses on the blundering fool anyway! Spike Lindsay always had been a blockhead. Too confounded silent to be trusted.

He didn’t have a friend in the world, either. After all, everyone has got to look after himself. What’s this guy to a captain ? The world would never miss a scowling, blackhaired, black-souled sea hand anyway.

McLinn looked about him carefully. No one near the stern.

Good! Only he had noticed.

“Hey, Kinney! Full sail from now till we hit the port! Un­ derstand ?

34

Spike Linclsay had never been given credit for much. He never talked, and, like a bull-dog, lie never bothered anyone who would let him alone. It never entered the captain’s head that the fellow might be able to swim to shore. It was a four-mile stretch, and no one had ever heard of Spike Linclsay being a long distance swimmer. But men cling to life far above their normal strength, and that shore meant for Spike, not only life, but revenge. He was dragged out of the 'vater by some native fishermen and carried to the port of PI aya unconscious, nearly dead.

While his body was healing, bis soul flamed with white heat.

A hundred times during1 the clay he would get violent fits. The veins of his neck would grow black, his eyes would roll toward the sea, and hal f-chokccl curses would flounder at his mouth. Re­ venge, revenge, revenge—to that his life was dedicated, from now until hell opened up for him.

For twelve years a pair of untiring eyes peered at faces in the ports of the world, and two keen ears were always cocked for a rumor of a certain captain McLinn. The vein-swelling, cursemunihling spells gradually became less frequent, but the sole pur­ pose of his sailor life was not altered one scintilla. As is the manncr of superstitious sailors, Spike must have supernatural aid. He cleaned, oiled, and polished the pistol which had hung at his belt during all of that heart-hreaking： fi^ht with the waves. Then he loaded it with a silver bullet over which the most terrible oaths of hell had been pronounced. The next shot of that gun would snatch away the life of a yellow-livered sea captain.

The tireless search draped on. Once Spike heard of a seagoing man in Calcutta, who went by the name of McLinn. A sin­ ister smile distorted the hazard ship-'vorn face. Five minutes after the ship had entered the harbor the grim sea hound, his hairy right hand clenchinq： the gun under his shirt, sprang- into the rooms of the man called McLinn. He was met by a very much astonished little fellow with huge spectacles and a round, fat belly.

The shock shattered Lindsay’s nerves completely. For six weeks he was on a drunk, with not a single sober moment inter­ spersed. Lack of money sent him on board again.

But in the last few years his passion could scarcely be noticed.

His uncontrollable, hideous fits had waned to an occasional clench­ ing of fists and a glittering of the eyeballs. And yet his obdurate heart clung with bull-dog jaws to that oath of hell.

It was now the last month of the fifteenth year. Spike was in Carovellas following up the clue of a certain captain, name somefiling like McLinn, but not for certain, who was temporarily living in Carovellas for business reasons. The sailor was swaggering along the main street of the silent South American town habitu35

'

ally shooting his sharp glances about in his endless quest. Then came the fearful shock. Abruptly around the corner, with a smile overspreading his face as he waved goodbye over his shoulder to his wife across the street, came Captain Andrew McLinn. Spike’s trembling hand fumbled into his shirt and jerked out the pistol dedicated to this sinister piece of work. As he pointed it with outstretched arm the barrel circled unsteadily. His head whirled, his eyes rolled, and then he began to curse. He uttered the most terrible blasphemies that Satan ever permitted to be uttered by mortal men. But, strangely enough, they were not directed at the captain. This bull-dog sailor was cursing himself—his indecision, the weak paralysis of his nerves and sinews, the terrible oath over the silver bullet which was now becoming a lie. His arm drooped and the treasured pistol nearly dropped from his hand.

Suddenly the sailor’s eyes, rolling in a wide, mad circle, struck upon the captain’s face, and a fresh rage stiffened his drooping courage. He jerked up the pistol and pulled the trigger. A sharp click, no report. The priming had spoiled on account of disuse.

Then a shot reverberated through the silent street, and the bullet tore the rage out of the sailor’s heart amid a spattering of blood and bits of flesh. A native officer had seen the attempted murder, and his aim was true. The sailor fell, dead when he hit the ground.

Then a strange thing happened. The eyes of the dying man rolled hideously and became fixed upon the face of his near-victim in| a horrible death-stare. McLinn grew as pale as the dead man.

He dug his hand into his eyes to rub out the vision. lie began to groan hysterically with a mumbling movement of his mouth. The tottering legs crinkled under him and he collapsed in the dust of the street. In a few moments a native doctor was called and he mumbled phrases in his native tongue which meant, “He has had a stroke. He is quite dead.”

STONE PITCHERS Of late much has been said about sanitary drinking fountains for our dormitory. It is not that our college pump is refusing to raise the necessary water from clay to day, on the contrary, that old servant does his work as faithfully as he has done in time past.

But the modern spirit of convenience and modernization has to have something to talk about. Let us weigh the matter and see what arguments can be advanced for and against the innovation.

We shall reverse the usual order and give the arguments con first. Tradition is always an argument of conservatism. Some­ thing would fall out of the life of our college if the squeak of the pump at all times of the day and the night should cease. The preps would also lose one reason for their existence. If the old pump and pitcher method were abolished, the monitors of the various rooms would no longer have to ask, “Who is supposed to shag water?” As to sanitation and health so much can be said that the water from our well is as healthful as and probably more health­ ful than the city water, nor has any one ever contracted a disease from the “old stone pitcher.”

What can we say in favor of new fountains for the dormitory ?

Naturally every one enjoys fresh water, and the old custom of 37

“shagging” water before every study period does not keep fresh water within convenient distance. It is true that running foun­ tains and running students would cause much disturbance during study periods, but to compromise, the old pitcher could be kept for use during these hours and the fountains might be turned oflF, if you please. During the last winter we again had the sad experi­ ence that our pump froze up for several weeks. How convenient would a fountain have been on every floor of the building! Stu­ dents who have had visitors ask them where the fountain is know how embarrassing it is to reply: “I’m sorry, but we always drink from a stone pitcher. Would you mind walking three flights of steps and half a block to the pump? We have a “cup” out there.

After both sides of the question have been heard, let us await the verdict of the jury.

WHAT TO DO? Is it possible for us to maintain four musical organizations in a student-body of less than three hundred and expect them to be up to a high standard ? Decidedly not under present conditions.

Each musical organization rehearses but two hours a week.

That is a very short time and each member is therefore expected to practice for himself daily. This daily practice is denied to many because of lack of time.

There are eight students who belong to three or more musical organizations. True, this is not a large number, but, remember that these eight students constitute one third of the orchestra and one fourth of the band. Remember also that those who take part in so many of the organizations are generally recognized as among the best members. A large number of students also take part in two musical organizations and one or more branch of the major athletics. Practice for any branch of athletics requires two or more hours every day. How can these members find time fog mdividual practices ? and can they be blamed for trying to be excused from practice rather often? One cannot expect a student:to spend all of his free time in practice for some organization. .

1

The logical solution would seem to be to drop one or two of the musical organizations entirely. This would certainly benefit the remaining rganizations. They could rehearse for at least an extra hour every week and one would also have more time for in­ dividual practice. But, the policy of our school seems to be to give everyone a chance to take part in some musical organization.

38

1 Until that policy is changed, would it be possible to change exist­ ing conditions to the benefit of our organizations?

It should be possible to pass a ruling that no one can take part m more than two musical organizations; or, if one takes part in any branch of intercollegiate athletics, permit him to take part in no more than one musical organization. Exceptions would have to be made for one or two years, but after that time the ruling could be enforced. At least this ruling would eliminate the excuse tliat students have not time for individual practice, it would create a greater interest, it would allow time for group practice, and it might allow the organizations to have rehearsal for more than two hours a week.

ALUMNI —Prof. George W. Shield, ’00, of Los Angeles, California, is organizing and conducting a Temple Tour through Europe this summer. The travels will include England, Holland, Belgium, France, Switzerland, and Bavaria. One of the most interesting features of the trip is a two-day stop-over at Oberammergau, where the tourist will have an opportunity to witness the Passion Play.

—We were glad to see so many alumni at our mid-season con­ cert. The good attendance proves that our people still take in­ terest in the activities of their college, and we hope they will con­ tinue to do so.

—Prof. Erwin Scharf, ’28, is at this writing preparing a cast of players for the presentation of “The Merchant of Venice” at the Winnebago Academy of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

—We announce the engagement of Adelbert Dornfeld, ’27，to Miss Mildred Gaulke of Milwaukee.

—Recent visitors at Northwestern were the Rev. L. Kirst, ’03, of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, the Rev. A. Engel,，25, of Parcleeville, Wisconsin, and the Rev. A. Gentz, ’22, of Powers, Michigan.

—Kurt Kneiske, ’29, recently visited Northwestern for the pur­ pose of securing workers for the Lannon canning factory. ―We announce the engagement of the Rev. Waklcmar Gieschen, ’26, of Crivitz, Wisconsin, to Miss Dorothea Halim of Milwaukee.

—G. R. Ziegler, ’92, president of the Aid Association for Luth­ erans, recently made an extensive tour of Texas with a view to de­ veloping and extending the field of the Association in that state.

This report, after having' been audited by Mr. Karl Kluender and the Pastors Leonard Koeninger ancl Paul Kuske, was adopted as read.

In the past year three members of the Alumni died: the Rev­ erend August C. Bendler, 78; the Reverend John Guse, ’00; the Reverend Clamor Fuelling, ’16. The society honored their memory by rising. The secretary was instructed to extend the sympathy of the society to the respective widows.

The chairman, member of the committee of 1926 on colie buildings, presented a plan for the collection of moneys for a brary building: that a “keyman” be appointed as a leader in each class graduated; that this leader get in touch with the individual members of his class and present the need of a library building; that in the collection of the necessary funds the synodical work is in nowise to 1)e interfered with or hampered. The motion was made and seconded to adopt the plan. Motion carried. The secretary of the society, assisted by the faculty, was appointed *to select the respective “keyman.”

In view of the financial status of the synod, the Reverend G. E. Bergemann advised the society to hold its plan in abeyance for a year. The society acquiesced by resolution.

41

In the name of the jubilee class of *19, the Reverend William Lehmann presented a check of $35.00 to the society.、 The committee on the banquet of 1929, Prof. T. Binhamnier, chairman, was requested to arrange an alumni luncheon at noontime, on Commencement Day, June 12, 1930.

All business having been completed, adjournment followed.

Walter A. Schumann, Sec’y.

Notice: Meeting of the Alumni Society On Commencement Day, Thursday, June 12, at noontime，there will be a luncheon and a business meeting of the Alumni Society in the college refectory.

Soil ich sagen mit schwerem Herzen,—vielleicht die erste Klasse, wir andern aber kamen ziemlich niimter nach den Fericn zurueck. Warum auch nicht ? Wem wuerdc es niclit in der frischen freien Fruehlingsluft bei un serm luslig plaetscherndeu Bach und luftigen Huegeln heiter zu Mute werden ? Da kann man bei all cm Studieren sich taeglich erholen，'vie man es in der Grossstadt nie recht konnte.

Nur vier Wochen sind noch auszukaufen. Dcr ersten Klasse mit ihrer vielen Arbeit koennen wir dieses besonders ansehen, ja, manche jammern manchmal als muessten sie am naechstcn Tage in den Sack spucken. Die zweite und dritte Klasse kann aber auch ganz nach ihrer eignen Facon leben.

Schon wieder haben wir einen Praesidenten nebst Sckretaer und Schatzmeister absetzen muessen. Von jetzt an wird Herr Sprengler die Hand hoch halten und an die Tasse schlagen, Herr Thiele von Zimmer zu zinimer betteln gehn. Dass die erste Klasse bei uns in Ehren steht, kann man daraus sehen, dass allc Bimmler aus ihr genommen wurden; ja, beinahe haetten wir auch einen Postmeister aus ihr bekommen.

Die Chevies neb men bei uns zu. Herr Lenz kam mit einer ganz neuen von Minnesota zurueck, auch will Herr Voecks sich eine anschaffen. Mit einem Male steht auch eine neue Chevie vor der vierten Tuere. Diese hat in ganzes Teil hinter sich hergezogen. Herr Sprenglers Ford fand naemlich einen neuen Herrn in Herrn Kuehl und Iierrn Kuehls Ford in Herrn Lemke. Sam weiss aber noch nicht, ob dieser luftiger Kraftwagen seiner Zwecken ensspricht und moechte ihn daher gerne wieder los werden.

Fordbesitzer, Achtung! Herr Schweppe will seine Ford aus42

nehmen und langsam in fremde aber gute Haende geben. Er kann es nicht ueber’s Herz bringen, im Nu von ihr zu scheiden. Eine extra Zuendkerze, einen extra Vergaser u. s. w. koennen vielleicht manche ganz gut gebrauchen.

Kein uralter Usus, nein, ganz neue Geschichte―Arbor Day! Im Katalog ist er noch nie gesehen worden. Als das Mailueftel zu wehen begann, fuehlten auch wir neue Kraft in uns, die heraus nuisste. Am 1. Mai sollte dies geschehen, doch das Wetter hatte etwas anderes im Sinne. Am 2. Mai, an einem Freitag, war es beinahe alien unmoeglich. Dann kam Montag. Das war der Tag, den wollten wir tuechtig blau machen. Herr Speckhard, unser Parkinspektor, nahm alles in seine Haende, so dass er sie jetzt noch voll hat. Alles wurde systematisch eingeteilt. In einem Falle kam sogar (ler Name in Hctracht. Herr Vogel bekam naemlich die Uebersicht der Baeumc und reinigte wie ein Specht mit seinen Gehilfen alle Baeumc von to ten und ueljerfluessigen Aesten.. Ausser(lem wurden Steine ausgercutct, lilumenbete in Ordnung gesetzt, Baeume gepflanzt und duerres IIolz im Wald aufgelesen und verbrannt. Besucht uns jetzt einmal!

Sport treiben wir auch. Unscr Baseball team ist nicht von gestern. Herr Hoenecke wurde zum Captain erwaehlt und scheint seine Gcnossen gut zu fuclircn. Es war gar nicht mehr schoen wie die University Extension Team heim geschickt wurde. Herr Blumenthal, unterstuetzt von alien Spiclem, fuetterte dem Schlaeger die Baelle, aber es war sell'vere Spcise. Schluss: Seminar 15.

University Extension 1.

In unserm von Quellen gespeisten Bach und “Galoon” gibt’s Forellen!

Zum Schluss wollen wir noch ein paar Geruechte herauslassen, die wir ueber einige unserer Kandidaten gehoert haben. Herr Wackerfuss soil nach Montana unter die Cowboys; Herr Loock liach Northwestern wegen seiner Erfahrung im Footballspiel; Herr Blume soli zu den Indiancrn, Herr Hellbusch als Missionar nach Deutschland, Herr Tessmer zum aufgeweckten Paris. Wieviel Wahres daran ist, wissen wir nicht. Jeder behalte also dies fuer sich.

April 8 was set aside for Arbor day; it was again “celebrated much in the same way as in former years The Sextaners, Quintaners, and some of the Quartaners made war on thc leaves, thus creating for the Tertianers and the rest of the Quartaners the job of hauling the leaves away. The Preps were cheered up in their toils and afflictions by the efforts of the Junior band (i. c. consist­ ing of Juniors). To the Frosh fell not only the task of putting the diamond in shape but also the task of working over tlic tenniscourts, which had in former years been done by the members of the tennis-association themselves. The sophomores, under the direc­ tion of Prof. Fleischer, relieved the College Park of excess branches and limbs and also of an offensive tree. They again planted a class-tree, but instead of the customary bathrobe-parade they burn­ ed a huge bonfire with mystic rites unknown to the rest of ns. Be­ sides acting as overseers for the Preps the Juniors also served the lunch SO kindly prepared by Mrs. Rohde and her helpers. Even the Seniors were on deck in time for lunch, although they prob­ ably deserved it too, having had two class-periods in the morning beginning at seven o’clock.

Oil April 19 the musical organizations presented their annual Midseason Concert. The concert was heard by a good attendance from far and near.

Shall we learn something? Or is this Exchange section merely a blank space blotted 2a up by funny looking black marks ? We learn to understand life by meeting many kinds of people, and it invariabl y leaves an indelible imprint upon our own mode of behavior. Let’s take a look into the papers of a few other colleges with a firm resolve to criticise our own publication on the basis of what we see.

Just what is wrong with the Black and Red? Page through a dozen other college papers at random, and you’ll pick up the Black and Red with a pleasant sense of security. You feel fairly sure there won’t be anything radical in it. You’ll never have to blush with shame on its account. But there’s the rub! You’ll also page through many editions before you find something which will make your heart leap with pride, The Black and Red is an unromantic paper. It is difficult to attack it for what it contains, but there are a multitude of fine things it does not contain—things that many other college publications unconsciously possess.

Pick up the Beloit “Round Table,” for instance. On the sec­ ond page is a section entitled “The Postscript—afterthoughts about people and things.” In this semi-humorous column a gentleman named Ken Arrington analyses mercilessly most anything at the college or in the VRound Table.” The Black and Red would be shocked at even a suggestion of such free criticism within its pages.

Our. Editorial section does not serve the same purpose. Its for­ mality is a perfect bar to any but the most stiffly objective articles.

46

Frank discussions of things simply do not exist in our college product.

In the same issue of the “Round Table” is an analysis of vari­ ous courses of study offered at Beloit. Its purpose is “to give stu­ dents with as little prejudice as possible some idea of the courses offered by Beloit College.” We’ll quote a section, with apologies: “However, this course, which it seems to us should be vitally interesting, is a dull and tedious one. The manner in which it is presented lacks that vital spark that makes the difference between a brilliant course, and one that is misery to take. Palmer sticks too close to the text, it being for the most part merely a repetition of the text, and he talks entirely too fast. Severson appears to be bored to death with the course himself, so the effect is very dull.”

Now imagine an item like that in the Black and Red, and you’ll see what 've’re getting at.

Perhaps such blunt remarks are not at all discreet. Perhaps they are too biting to be printed as representative of the public opinion in a college. And yet the very fact that the paper offers a chance for any sincere outspoken opinions is admirable. A school that will give and take strong criticism will never remain stuck in the mire of intellectual stagnation.

An that brings us back to the Black and Red. The pages are all familiar, as you turn them over. You are fairly sure of a poem or two (a commendable feature), an historical treatise, a shortstory, and several editorials which contain placidly conservative observations of this or that in the daily course of school life. Then follow the age-old divisions of Locals, College Notes, Athletics, etc. The Black and Red is like a solid steel form into whose fixed little crevices is poured a uniform, never changing flow of conven­ tional words. The absolute uniformity is depressing and in itself tends to dampen attempts at anything brilliant or original. The unforgivable sin is to fail to have a sufficient number of lines per column to make the issue appear up to standard. The one mighty sin should be to write a long column when you have nothing at all to say.

Now examine the construction of a few other papers. “Col­ lege Chips” has a section called “Mooditations,” in which any topic of cultural interest can be discussed candidly. “Capital Chimes” has “Thinking It Over” for the same purpose. We’ve already men­ tioned ”丁he Postscript” of the “Round Table.” Some of the other papers make use of their Editorial sections, not only to print expository essays composed by students (as is the case with us), but also to carry on a lively exchange of arguments. \Vhy is this spirit absent in our paper ? A likely cause is our traditional impression that the Black and Red is a paper written 47

妙:Hell j

[♦

by the staff. The students as a whole sit idly by, subscribe to the paper because it is customary, and criticise freely 一 not to the staff publicly, but to each other, privately. And now just what are we going1 to do about it?

We’ve spent a great deal of time getting this burden off our soul and we must now come to a brief close.

Hereafter a change will be made in regard to the exchange papers in the reading room. The entire mass, with a few exceptions, will be in the reading room from the lime of writing of this column (in this case, May 4) until the day of publication of the Black and Red. From that day only those few papers which are quoted in this column for special importance will appear. This system will absolve a person from the necessity of wading through some forty copies to find a half dozen articles of extraordinary value.

This month, two issues of the “Round Table” were of great interest, April 23 and April 30. In the “Luther College Visitor” appeared two items especially well worth taking note of: “Debate a Necessity” and “Have You Ever Noticed?” In the “Chimes” of Calvin College both “What Man is This?” and “Love: A Scien­ tific Analysis” have a peculiar interest. The “Carthage Collegian” can boast of producing “A Preface to Ethics” and a comment on the “Intellectual Snob of College.” “College Chips'* also contains various matters of interest in the April 30 issue.

Lewis Beewares 4; Northwestern 5 May 3 marked the opening of our baseball season as a newly admitted member of the municipal Industrial League, Northwestern opposing the Lewis Beewares. Since it was the first game of the season for both teams, obvious deficiencies in diamond technique were revealed on both sides.

The Beewares started the game with a timely display of punch, by scoring 3 runs in the first inning. They remained in the lead until the final stages of the game when Northwestern staged a rally in which the winning scores were tallied. With the score 3-4 in favor of the Beewares in the ninth inning Biesmann walked, Buenger drove the ball through second, and Kaye reached first on a fielders choice. In an attempt to ward off the Northwestern man â&#x20AC;˘from reaching home Wade made a wild throw, allowing Biesmann to tie the score and Buenger to bring in the deciding point of the game.

Glatzel featured for the Beewares by his long drives in deep right field, one of which Kaye, in a spectacular play, snatched with his bare hand. Raasch, who made his debut on the mound for Northwestern in this game, showed up well, allowing but 4 hits and apportioning 11 strike outs.

April showers bring May flowers. True, but they do more than that. For instance, a man may get a higher mark in the June finals, because it rained in April. A shower may keep a man who would otherwise go “for a shag” at his desk, as it actually happened some time ago. That is one side of the story. There may also be those who do not heed the warnings in the sky. A certain young man was not frightened by the threatening clouds, the lightning, and the distant rolling- thunder a certain Thursday night. “Just an April shower,” thought he and went out. Alas!

Alas! He forgot that it was the first of May. He was caught in what turned out to be a real May thunder storm. Enough said.

Prof. Bolle, Paul Heyn, and Otto Engel drove to Milwaukee April 24, to hear the Lyric Male Chorus. These singers have the reputation of being the best male chorus in the U. S. On account of the death of his father, Merton Albrecht re­ turned a week late.

Rueben Kettenacker is planning a trip to Yellowstone Na­ tional Park during summer vacation. He has all the road maps, railroad time tables, and bus schedules memorized. His room is decorated with beautiful pictures of the Grand Canyon, Old Faith­ ful Geyser, and so on. His mind is so much occupied with the idea that he is beginning to walk into classrooms while another class is in session. The other day he absent-mindedly walked into the Junior logic hour. Too much Yellowstone!

Everybody wanted to see the eclipse of the sun April 26, but Old Sol succeeded fairly well in hiding his face all day. Occasion­ ally he did poke his head through the clouds for a few seconds.

Then hurriedly pieces of glass were blackened, but before the oper­ ation was completed the sun was behind the clouds again. Maybe he did not want everybody to see: his black eye.

Stuhr, Liesencr, II. Marlin, Buengcr, and Sippert attended the wedding of Harland Woldt's sister, Saturday, April 26. Nothing like a wedding they tell us.

Better late than never ! Room 50 has finally taken down the Christmas decoration. The occupants of the room claim they ex­ erted too much energy putting them up to leave them there for only a short time. They succeeded in setting another endurance record. What next ?

Pape, Bleichwehl, Warlike, and Kasper took a little trip to Kingston and Oshkosh, Saturday, May 3. What a Ford won’t do.

On Saturday, April 26, the old and new staff of the “Black and Red” had their annual banquet. Everybody had a wonderful time.

If you want any information as to woods, meadows, and swamps around Watertown, ask a Quintaner. There is not a place where a flower could hide from their searching eyes. As to the number of bridges and trestles to be crossed to get to some of these “flower gardens,” ask “Penny.”

Hitch-hiking is still in vogue. Quite a number “hiked” home for Easter vacation. Here is an incident that may be of interest to “hikers.” A young man on his way to Madison hailed a car a miles on this side of Portage. The car stopped and picked him up. The youth was overjoyed at his success.

“What’s your name, young man?” asked the driver as they 51

were coming into Portage. The lad introduced himself.

Well, I5!!! the sheriff!” growled the man, “you’ll get'ten days for this.”

Be careful whom you hail!

QIn-iEii NoIm. Inez Nienow, Lillian Trapp, and Vivian Engel attended the concert given at Hartland by the orchestra and male quartette.

Ruth Mayer, Glenna Rasmussen, and Betty Jaeger have already gone swimming. They enjoyed it very much and feel quite proud of their feat. (Julia Knispel went with them but after putting one foot into the water, left the other girls to themselves.)

Margaret Mutchler, ev. ’29, visited classes here during her va­ cation. She is living in Milwaukee.

Margaret Schmeling, ’29, came to see us, too. She is planning on conducting a short summer course in Madison which will keep her there until the first part of July.

Gertrude Wendland, Dorothy Groth, and Hertha Notbohm spent week-ends in Milwaukee.

La Verne Zorr and Ruth Bruesehoff, to be different, spent a week-end at Fond du Lac. The topic uppermost in the minds of most of us at this time is “The Swan.”

Prof. (Speaking of Ambition) : “What was that song that was popular about five years ago with the word ‘ambish’ in it?”

George: “Oli，that's still coming to Watertown.” 氺氺本

Oh, Ye Gods!

One: “How come the Greeks ate the meat of the animals they sacrificed?”

Harke: “Oh, they ate the meat and threw the entrails on the sea. Those were good enough for the gods.” * 氺 * Dahlke, who has been spending much thought on the subject, announces that he knows what “chip off the old block means. It，s dandruff.

Soak: a bald man’sh Shay, I’ve got a plan to raish hair head.: Also: “How?” Soak: “Make him grow a mustache and then lift his face.” 氺氺氺

Splashing Silence Andy: “And the room was so quiet you could hear an egg drop. 本 * Naughty, Naughty! ，，It seems a certain Quartaner forgot “date,” the imperative of do ’’ during a Latin recitation. When some of the girls tried to 53

spell it to him (in a whisper, of course) he thought they were try­ ing to flirt with him. 氺

Prof.: “Is Batzlaff sick this afternoon?”

Class in unison: “Yes, he was feeling terrible. He went to bed right after dinner.”

Small voice in rear (just as the door opens and Batz walks in smiling cheerfully): uSh—, his company didn’t come today.” 氺

木

The laboring man cries for more pay; the unemployed call for more work, but there is at least one person asking for more jokes. 本

'

i

Prof.: “A fool can, ask more questions than a wise man can answer.'

Stude: “Is that why so many students fail in the exams.” 幸 本 * “；HurraliP He Hissed Some good friend of ours came to us (both of me) in the stilly night and told us privily, “sub rosa,” ancl “privatim, as it were, that it was the customary thing, when ancl if you have a contest, to announce the results of such a contest. Now this hit us like a May thunderstorm. First of all, we had only a faint recollection of a contest. Finally we came out of our academic trance to realize we had started a contest, a rotten pun contest, wasn't it? And then publish the results? Why must life be so complicated? Why not just have a contest and let it go at that ? But we will bow be­ fore the power of invention. Be it known that our little contest has been a complete success (see next issue of American Magazine).

No, we have not been swamped with puns rotten to the point of unprintability. But that’s just it. That proves that Northwestern is above the lowest form of wit at least. If you made rotten puns, you’d turn them in, wouldn’t you? (Just as you do your jokes.)

And since you didn’t turn them in—well, there you are! But either way, our contest would have been a success. If you had sent in puns galore it would have proved that you wanted the pun-stage over with, and that you wanted to ascend to higher spheres. We rather thought this would be the case, but it seems we wronged you.

We want to apologize right here for insulting your feeling for fine humor. We felt ashamed, too, of our puns for it must have struck everyone that wit was lowest' where it should have been highest— in the editor of the humor column. We were afraid—no, hopeful that “vox populi” would demand our resignation on this account.

To bring this about andi to bring the contest to a close we offer a few more puns: 54

1. If you asked one of the directors, “How are you getting along in the rehearsals of “The Swan,” he no doubt would answer, **Oh, swimmingly, swimmingly.”

2. When those masters of the trumpet, Bleichwehl and Dobratz, were performing at one of our literary programs, we overhear this remark, “I cornet see how they duet.”

3. And then there’s Arno Witt playing third base, commonly called the “hot corner.” It surely is hot when he’s playing there.

Just go out there some time and you’ll pick up “hot puns” that you can take along to breakfast. (This one is bad.)

4. And then there is the Senior who had his graduation in­ vitations made to read, “Your presents are required—” 5. And then we overheard a conversation concerning the two Schultzes: Neutral: “Is ‘Hie’ Schultz any relation to you?”

V. Schultz: “Relatively speaking, no.”

And now we know that there is a really live sense of humor among us. Not a few came out to see the Smoking Sticks―2nd team baseball game today.

HARVEST Weep not, my dear; it is not sad; we only took Time’s pen in hand and wrote the “finis” to our book.

This is the end—there is no more, no more to seek ....

Why do you look at me so sadly when I speak ?

Pity me not in my distress; it would but render My heart more sad that is already bruised and tender.

I can blot out the memory of your face forever: But, ah, your laugh, your smile, your wild words—never!

"These will remain. I shall remember all our spoken Vows, our happiness, our love. our pain, our broken Grief .... We must not weep now, dear, we must not weep That have such precious memories as these to keep.

^ Mlath ^ lr\t ENGLISH ORATION Le Roy G. Ristow ERASMUS^ ATTITUDE TOWARDS LUTHER，S REFORMATION At the beginning of the sixteenth century the church was laden, yes, fairly choked with burdensome parasites, with a host of false teachings, with “liunian fabrications，’’ with tatters of old Jewish rites, with glosses upon glosses, with hopelessly entangled exter­ nals. Its shepherds were many of them of the type of which Milton sang in “Lycidas”： ’.Know of such as, for their bellies' sake, Creep and intrude and climb into the fold.”

But the old tomes of Aristotle and his devotees, the schoolmen, were at the beginning of the sixteenth century fast gathering dust and cobwebs, for throughout Europe men had begun to dream of reform. Their ideas were leased on a study of ancient ethics com­ bined with the reading of the Vulgate. The result was a human­ ized assimilation of both, a new **Philosophy of Christ.” The greatest exponents of this movement north of the Alps were Reuchlin, the founder of Hebrew research, and Desidcrius Erasmus of Rotterdam. The learned world cherished Erasmus. Ecclesiastical dignitaries, civil officers, mitred heads, and crowned heads bowed to this thin, pale man in a black silk gown. He was much sought after in the big cities. His “Adages” delighted the universities.

In 1502 he published his “Enchiridion militis diristiani,” in which practical Christianity is stressed over against Judaism, ceremonial­ ism, and celibacy. In 1511 his satirical "Praise of Folly” hatl flayed society and the church. In 1516 the press released his epoch-making Greek New Testament with a new Latin translation done independently of the Vulgate. The Reformation was now striding on with seven-league boots.

At the same time there lectured on the divinity faculty of the newly founded University of Wittenberg an Augustinian friar, named Brother Martin. Both Luther and Erasmus had entered the cloister，the cardinal motive of the one being fear for his soul. that of the other a desire for the seclusion„ necessary for a man of letters. From Luther’s correspondence we learn that he read Erasmus eagerly and admired the great scholar, receiving the Greek New Testament with enthusiasm as a gift from God. In purely philological questions Erasmus was the young professor's authority. However, as early as 1516, he perceived differences be­ tween himself and the humanist. In a letter to Spalatin, the Elec­ tor s chaplain, he writes that Erasmus's ideas on the doctrines of 57

anlt :yUH j

f

original sin and justification displeased him. He further states that he disagreed with Erasmus when it came to scriptural inter­ pretation: **I prefer St. Augustine to St. Jerome as much as he, Erasmus, prefers Jerome to Augustine.The latter was the patronsaint of the Augustinians; St. Jerome, with his air of venerable learning, the patron-saint of humanism. So we see that even as early as this, Luther had an inkling that the Rotterdam theologian was concerned more with the clarifying of the erroneous conception that religion consisted only in ceremonial symbolism and anti­ quated Hebrew observances than in feeding mankind the divine truth. Although both the Wittenberg divine and the humanist hated Aristotle, the king of the old schoolmen, the basic reasons for their hate differed. For Luther the Stagirite’s Ethics were heathen trash. For Erasmus they were musty old tenets, the fossilized heart of a rotted scholastic system.

Brother Martin sympathized with Erasmus's criticism of the vileness and ignorance of monastic and clerical society of his time, but that scholar's neglect of, and apparent lack of interest in, the first truths of Holy Writ disappointed him. “The worldly means more to him than the divine," he writes. Nevertheless, he did forego to direct any polemics toward the votary of the f-Philosophy of Christ,” and often prayed that God would grant Erasmus light.

Luther’s colleague Mclancluhon worshipped this paragon of wis­ dom and wit; and it was due in part to him and to Luther’s own respect for the ag^ccl stiuk-nt that relations remained unstrained as long as they did. Students attending lectures at Wittenberg told that wlien Dr. Luther spoke disparagingly of Erasmus, Prof. Melanchthon praised him the mure, thus leaving a neutralized impres­ sion ill the minds of the hearers.

Erasmus had praised the Ninety-five Theses, with the exception of those relating to purgatory. However, the Reformer’s style always seemed to him a hit too biting and irreverent. His pacific and reserved nature was jarred by anything so jeopardizing t.o peace. For him Luther's birth was a tragedy, and the stead­ fast and unyielding： priest a stone in the delicate cogs of the humani^tic machine. When his printer, Froben of Basel, therefore, pul)lished the monk’s works in 1518, he begged him not to do so any more. Perhaps there was a tinge of jealousy too, for the name of the “Augustinian priest was more on the lips of the people than that of Desiderius Erasmus. .1 lie papal bull, **Exsurge Domine,’’ drew from the Dutch (livine expressions of extreme disgust for the crude methods: he despised heartily Roman ways of fighting the priest with wax and parchment. But to the Holy See he writes that he had attempted to effect a greater moderation in the monk's style, as indeed he had, and that he could never take a stand against the vicar of Christ on

earth. When Luther’s books were burned in several universitytowns, he smiled and said, "They may thrust the friar out of their libraries, but never can they tear him from the hearts of men.”

To the Elector: “Luther has erred in two particulars, first, he has grasped at the pope’s tiara, and secondly, at the stuffed bellies of the monks.v Back in 1519 a rumor was circulated to the effect that Eras­ mus had aided Brother Martin in the authorship of his books. He fearfully hastened to right that rumor in numerous apologetic letters to friends and patrons, expressing admiration for the doctor’s character, but asserting that he was innocent of the accusations made against him; in fact he had read very little of Luther because of the latter’s use of the German of Saxony. One of these apolo­ gies addressed to his parton, the Archbishop of Mainz, was en­ trusted to the impetuous Hutten, who. after having inserted “our Luther” for plain “Luther,” published the letter far and wide. Sus­ picions of Erasmus’s sympathy with the Lutheran “heresy” spread.

The papal legate Aleander even went so far as to call him the ^Cor­ nerstone of the heresy.”

The Diet at Worms passed; the edict was just more wax and parchment. Erasmus was ill, perhaps intentionally so, for fear of implication in the tragic affair. The year before, Luther had written his “De captivitate" and the “Manifesto to the Christian Nobility of the German Nation.” Now, upon his refusal to recant, the break was complete. Erasmus’s attempt to obtain for Luther a fair trial by a tribunal of educated men had ended in a fiasco.

He saw in the suppression of a man of so just and sincere a char­ acter a suppression of the good itself. Thus he politely refused several invitations of the Pontiff to come to Italy and write against the “heretic.” Pressure was brought to bear upon him by Lutheran and Anti-Lutheran. And on the Wart burg, Yunker George plainly saw that Erasmus must become his opponent. These were trying times when a man simply could not lie neutral. Even England's king urged him to rail against Luther, and in September, 1523, he finally agreed to do the bidding of kings and popes. In a letter to Henry VIII he says: “I shall write against the new doctrines, but I fear to publish before leaving Germany.” In the same month li? writes to Zwingli that he had always taught nearly as Luther did, but that he had never been as crude in the expression of his thoughts. He put Luther in the same category with the extremists Carlstap and Muenzer, and all true Lutherans under the same con­ demnation, for he knew not the real Lutheranism, which retained, for the sake of peace and beauty, all tradition not interfering with the preaching of the pure Word.

During all this time, Luther’s dislike for Erasmus as a the。logian had grown. In his new edition of the Epistle to the Gala59

tians he omitted all references to Erasmus contained in the first.

He promised to strike back eye for an eye, tooth for a.，tooth, .if Erasmus should attack the stand he was certain was Christ’s. “His merit,” said Luther, “lies in his philology” .. . “perhaps he will die in the land of Moab like Moses, for he will not lead on to bet­ ter studies in godliness.”

In 1524 Erasmus wrote to Henry VIII: “The die is cast . • _ His "Diatribe on the Free Will was finished. In it the author asserted the power of the human will to accept or reject the means of salvation, tluis curtailing the glory of Christ and leaving the work of the Holy Ghost a sinecure. Erasmus had struck at the root of things in a fair, logical style without bitterness, and Luther had reason to fear the influence of the ’.Diatribe.” His answer was the treatise "De servo jirl)itrio.” Erasmus had confessed his skepticism : Luther held that the Holy Ghost is no skeptic. The humanist maintained that much in the Bible is unclear, mystifying: the Reformer that nothing in it is unclear, but all perspicuous, co­ herent, positive, and to tlic point. Krasmus spurned the question of the freedom of the will immaterial to the plan of salvation: Luther insisted it was a vital issue. In his defense of the unfree will Luther uses the plain simile of St. Augustine: The human will is like a hired saddle-horse; when God rides it, it goes whither he directs, when Satan sits in the saddle it obeys him. God and Devil are in continuous strife over this horse. The Evil One must always will what he is, and his henchmen, the heathen, must do the bidding of the Father of Evil.

Erasmus re plied in his and from then on Luther speaks of him with disgust and bitterness, calling him an irritated snake, an Epicurean, a scoffer, a vainglorious mannikin, a turncoat, a knave.

Erasmus witnessed the substitution of theological studies for humanism. But he was mistaken when he wrote as late as 1530: “Where Lutheranism reigns there scholarship beats its retreat,” for Luther had written his treatise on education. “An die Ratsherren .. as early as 1524. Truly has Erasmus said: “I have fallen into trouble in my old age, like a mouse into a pot of pitch.” rruer perhaps was the epithet of the Louvain Dominican who called him a chameleon, because he showed one colour to the Protestant reformers and another to the hierarchy. Aside from all that, one must concede his insight into the intricate mechanism of the Roman Church. In order to bring about his humanistic reform, which differed widely from Luther’s reform, he understood the necessity of remaining snugly within the church. The souls of the masses apparently were of little concern to him. His reform was not God’s; it died with the old humanistic movement. Apply60

ing the picture from 1 Cor. 3, we might say that he built with stubble; the fire tried it, and ashes remained. Luther built with gold.

GERMAN ORATION Gerhard Struck GOETHE UND SCHILLER, EIN VERGLEICH Es war mir vergoennt, einen gruendlichen Untcrricht in der clcutschen Sprache zu erhalten, in cineni Lande, in clem (lie deutsche Sprache nicht Landessprache ist. Diese Gelegenhcit hatte ich in (ler Gemcindeschule unci auf unserm Northwestern College. Von wie grossem Wert mir dieser Untcrricht in der Zukunft sein wird, das kann ich heute nicht sagen; das kann nicht ermessen werden.

Aber ich mocchte (loch darauf hinweisen, besonders in einer Zeit, da man geneigt ist, die deutsche Sprache in diesem Lande, auch in unsern deutschen Kreisen, mehr uml mehr zu vern.achlacssigen, class ich aus diesem Untcrricht einen Vorteil gewonnen liabe, der nicht mit Gold aufzuwiegen ist; er hat mir die Ticfen der deutschen Dichtung crschlossen. einer Dichtuns, die an S 'bocnlicil, an Fuelle. an Innigkeit und Tiefe vor keiner Dichtung der Well zuruecktreten braucht. Die Groesse der deutschen Dichtung, und wer will diese leugnen, kann nie in solchem Masse in (ler Uebersctzung zutage treten, wie in (ler Original-sprache. Die deutsche Dichtkunst ist sell on seit Jahrhunderten gepflegt worden : denkeii wir doch an das Nibelungenlied, an die Minnesaenger und an das Gu(l run lied. Aber immer ist die Dichtung am vortrefflichsten, wenn (lie Dicliterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;ini wahren Sinne fuer das Volk schricben.

Und gerade auf diesem Gebiete der Volkdichtung sind e| zwei Maenner, (lie llllS 1)esonders auffallen, die (lurch ihre Groesse alle andern zu ueberscliatten scheinen. Wer kennt nicht Goethe und Schiller, Deutschlands edles Dichterpaar, das ungefaehr zur selben Zeit lebtc und so Gewaltiges in der Dichtung schuf, class auch noch heute die Nachwelt sie staunend verehrt und bisher keinen hervor^ebraclit hat. der ihnen jjleich kaeme. Wir wollen heute einen kurzen Blick auf das Verhaeltniss dieser beiclen Maenner zueinan_____ der wer fen, die in ihrer Dichtung so verschiedene Ziele verfolgten, und die cloch mehr als zehn Jalire in einer Freundschaft vereint waren, die man fast ideal nennen koennte.

Schon in ihren aeusserlichen Verhaeltnissen waren diese beiden Maenner grundverschieden. Was den taeglichen Lebensliedarf anbetraf, war Goethe ohne Sorgen: er war der Sohn eines reichen Patriziers aus Frankfurt, der es sich wohl leisten konnte, seinem Sohnc eine gute Erziehung zu gehen. Es war ihm gestattet, weite.

Reiscn zu machen, und er lernte das Gesellschaftsleben und das Hofleben kenncn. Herzog Karl August von Weimar rief ihn an scincn Hof, und hicr widmete sich Goethe dem Staatsleben. Sein Unigang und seine Reisen machten ihn zum voellig gebildeten Weltmcnschen, der sich auch in der Gesellschaft von Koenigen wo 111 7.U benehmen wusste.

Schiller dagegen musste von seiner fruehsten Jugend an einen bittern Kampf gegen Not un(l Krankheit fuehren. Geboren in Marbach in Sclnvaben, der Sohn cinfacher Buergersleute, ward sein reger Geist schon frueh eingezwaengt durch die pedantische Strenge tier Karlsschulc. Als er von clieser befreit wurde, geriet er in Schuklen: doch das Schlimmste war noch, class ihm in seiner Stcllun^ als Regimcntsarzt das Schreiben ueber jegliches Thema ausscr der Mcdizin versagt war. Von dieser unertraeglichen Lage befreite er sich durch seine Flucht. Lange musste er sich kuemmerlicli durclischlagcn : schliesslich erhielt er durch Goethes Vermittlung- cine l^rofessur der Geschichte in Jena. Aber stets war er kraenklich und er starl) schon ini Alter von 45 Jahren.

Doch was soli uns schliesslich einc laengere Betrachtung des aeusscrc'n Lel^cnswandels (lieser beiden Dichter ? Wir wollen sehen, worin (lie Stacrke auf (1cm dichterischen Gebiete eines jeden llegt, 'vie es nioeglieh war, (lass zwei so grundverschiedene Maenner miteinamlcr cincn (lauc*riKlen l7reundscliaftsbund schliessen konnten, und von welchem Vortcil dieser Bund einem jeden von ihnen war.

Goethes Wcrke werden oft ohjektiv genannt, waehrend man (lie, die Schiller schricb, subjektiv nennt.

Es scheint manchmal, als ob (liese bczeichnenden Worte nur so hingeworfen sind, und tier Rctrcffcnde gar nicht weiss, was dam it gemeint ist. Nun, Goethe war cinmal cin Naturkind : sein Wesen lag im stillen, anscliaulichen Betrachten der Natur; sie lehrte ihn alles, was er wissen 'vollte. Seine Groesse liegt darin. das er das Geschaute in geistige Gestalt bringt und zwar so schoen, so ergreifend, dass wir die Gestalten und Dinge, die er praesentiert, genau vor uns sehen und uns an ihnen freuen. Und zu all diesem kommt, dass Goethe die kuenstlerische Darstellung seiner Intuition verdankt: er brauchte •seine Personen und ihre Handlungen nicht erst auszugruebeln, sie standen ihm vor der Seele, und er brauchte nur zu schreiben, was er sah. An Erfahrung und Kenntnissen war Goethe Schiller weit vo'raus. Goethe hatte das ganze Mittellaendische und das Adriatischc Meer durchfahren. Mit Gelehrten, Dichtern, Geistlichen i、n(l Philosophen verkehrte er intim. In der Natur und in der Kunst. hesonders in der Plastik, war er zu Hause.

Docli was meinen wir, wenn wir Schiller subjektiv nennen ?

Schiller haelt die Vernunft und den Willen des Menschen als das Hoechste. Er zeigt den Geist des Menschen, der sich ueber a'le Hindernisse der Natur hinwegsetzen kann. Schiller beschaeftigte 62

sicli mit Vorliebe mit der Philosophic unci (ler Geschichte, zwei Gebieten, auf dcncn der Wille cles Menschen freies Spiel hat. Das Schoene und das Sittliche sind fuer Schiller iclentisch. Er hat die Macht des Willens ueber die aeusserlichen Hindemisse der Natur in seinem ganzen Leben bewiescn. Weder K rank he it noch Gesundheit, weder Mangel noch Fuelle bceinflussten die Taetigkeit seines Geistes in erheblichem Masse. Seine schoensten Werke sind Produkte ciner Zeit, da er fast nic voellig gesund war; das war, 'vie er sagt, “der Geist, der sich den Kocrper baut.”

So zielien uns Goethes Personen an durch ihr blosses Sein, Schillers Personen (lurch ihr Handeln. Goethe zeigt uns die Personen, 'vie sie sind, Schiller, 'vie sie sein sollten. Goethe pracsenticrl das Wirkliche, Reale, Objektiv, Naive: Schiller das Gewuenschte, Sittliche, Edle, Schoene, Sentimentale. Doch sollte jemand fragen, welcher von beiden der groessere waere, ich 'vuei.de es nicht wagen, die Frage bestimmt zu beantworten, obwohl ich Goethe zuneige.

Dass aber diese beiden so verschiedenen Maenner einen Freundschaftsbund schlossen, das leuchtet nicht unmittelliar ein; clas ist auch ganz natuerlich. Goethe hatte in der Tat an fangs eine starkc Abneigung gegen Schiller. Er war, als er Schiller zum ersten Male traf, gerade aus Italien zurueckgekommen. Hier hatle sicli sein Geist an der Schoenheit der Antike erfreut; hier li.itte crseine Iphigenie vollendet, die von vielen wegen ihre edlen Einfalt und stiller* Groesse als sein groesstes Werk angesehen wircl. In Schiller sail er nur den unvollendeten Dichter; er schaetzte ihn nach seinen "Raeubern, seinem Fiesco,” und “Kabale und Liebe,” die alle drei mit furchbaren Unwaelzung-en im gesellschaftlichen und politisclieii Leben sich beschaeftigen. Schiller war zu der Zeit, als er diese Dichtungen schuf, noch zu sehr mit deni Freiheits—und Gleichlieits—gedanken erfuellt, waehrend Goethe diesen laengst abgestreift hatte. Als die franzoesischen Revolutionisten Schiller sogar das Buergerrecht anboten. da war Goethe voellig cntschlossen, sich nicht weiter mit Schiller einzulassen. Aber es sollte nicht so bleiben; als Schiller die Nacliricht von cler Hinrichtung des fran­ zoesischen Koenigs erhielt, da schauderte es ihn doch etwas, und von dieser Zeit an trat ein Umscliwung ein. Er, der bis zu dieser Zeit demokratische Gesinnungen gehegt hatte, wurde nun mehr und. mehr Aristokrat. Er sieht den gemeinen Mann an als den Ewigblinden, clem man nicht des Lichtes Himmelsfackel leihen soilDieser Umschwung wurde ganz besonders dadurch gefoerdert, dass er sich laengere Zeit auf das Studium der antiken Literatur.__.__verlegte. So wurde fuer ihn clas Studium der klassischen Literatur von ebensogrosser Bedeutung, als fuer Goethe sein Aufenthalt in Italien. Durch dieses Studium lernte er wahre, einfache, schlichte und doch grossartige Schoenheit kennen, und er, der iminer noch 63

i fuer buergerliche und sittliche Freiheit eintritt, macht es sich jetzt zur lAufgabe, den Buerger aesthetisch zu erziehen.

Es waere in der Tat schade gevvesen, wenn diese beiden. Maenner sich nie getroffen haetten; doch ein gluecklicher Zufafl vermitteltc eine Begegnung in Jena. Nach einer laengeren Unterredung ward es beiden klar, class sie ueber einen ungeheuren Gedankenschatz verfueglen, und class eine weitere Trennung fuer beide nur ein Verlust sein konnte. Von dieser Zeit an verkehrten sie sehr iiitini miteinander; ihr Briefwechsel zeugt von einem regen Ge<l«inkenaustaiusch.

Fuer Goethe war diese Freundschaft insofern von grosser Bedcutung, als sic ihn, (lessen Feeler schon mehrere Jahre geruht hatte, zu neuer dichterischer Taetigkeit anspornte. Er vollendete in kur/.er Zeit den Roman **Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre,” in clem cr den Bodcn (ler Rcalitaet nie verlaesst, aber sie poetisch verklaert.

Einige J a lire spaeter folgle “Herrman und Dorothea,” ein buergerlichcs Epos,丨 worm er (las “rein Menschliche der Existenz einer kleincn Stadt und zugleicli (lie grossen Bewegungen und Veraenderun^cn des Welttheaters aus einem kleinen Spiegel zurueckzuwerfen traclitet,” Ein Jalir vor seincm Tode wurde endlich seine grossartigste Schoepfung, der ••Faust,” vollendet, ein Drama, das allgemein als das grocsstc Wcrk der deutschen Dichtung angesehen wird. Faust ist ja Goethe selbst, der Mensch, der strebt, solang er lcl)t, und der in seinem dunkeln Drange sich des rechten Weges wolil hewusst isl. So kann, nach goethescher Auffassung, Faust nicht verloren gehen, sein bestaendiges Streben bringt seine endliche Kiloesuiig. Abgcsehen von dieser Idee birgt aber auch Goethe's “Faust” so viel Lebensweisheit und allgemeine Wahrheit in sich, class auch wir von ihm viel lernen koenen.

Auch fuer Schiller war die Verbindung mit Goethe wichtig.

Von dem aelteren, erfahrenern Freimde erhielt er manchen Ratsclilag. Mit ihm wettei ferte er im Miiseiialmanach” in der Verfassung der schoenen Balladen von denen, um nur etliche anzufuehrer!，der Ring des Polykrates, (Schiller) der Zauberlehrling (Goethe) und der Taucher (Schiller), uns wohl bekannt sincl. Und 'ver kennt nicht das herrliche Lied von der Glocke, in dem der Glockenguss, die Ausmalung der Vorgaenge des buergerlichen Lebens und die geistvollen Betrachtungen darueber uns erfreuen.

Auch die grossartigsten Schoepfungen Schillers, “Wallenstein” mul "Wilhelm Tell，” fallen in diese Zeit. Im Wallenstein hat Schil­ ler so recht Gelegenheit gehabt, uns zu zeigen, wie sich seine Personen uel)er die Hindernisse der Natur hinwegheben und konsequent，ilirem Charakter gemaess, recht oder unrecht handeln. Sein l?tztes Drama ist “Wilhelm Tell," die reifste Frucht seines Genius, ein Volksstueck im vollen Sinne des Wortes. Schiller ist nie in der Schweiz gewesen, und doch hat er ein schoenes, naturgetreues 64

Bild von Land unci Leuten entworfen. Die Haupthandlung beschreibt die Befreiung der Schweizer von ihren Draengern. Der Gedanke der Freiheit ist in diesem Drama stark ausgedrueckt, aber 'vie viel schoener als in den “Raeubern” oder im “Fiesco!” Wer weiss, zu welcher Groesse sich Schiller noch entwickelt haette, wenn ihm nicht der Tod die Feder aus der Hand genommen haette.

Er ist, mehr als Goethe, der Liebling des deutschen Volkes geworden, 'veil er mehr an die Herzen appelliert.

Wie oft hat man nicht schon die Frage gehoert, wer groesser sei, Schiller oder Goethe. “Was quaken in clem Sumpfe dort— Herr Frosch und Base Kroete?—Sie streiten sich, wer groesser sei, —Ob Schiller oder Goethe.” Ich meine, Ernst Rietschel hat die Frage sehr wohl beantwortet: in Weimar steht sein Denkmal, dort reichen sich die beiden Dichter freundschaftlich die Hand und teilen den Lorbeerkranz unter sich. Das soil uns zeigen, class beide Maenner gleich gross sind. Ist Schiller groesser als Dichter, so is Goethe groesser als Denker. Waltet Goethe koeniglich auf deni Gebiete des Realen und Menschlichen, so herrscht Schiller auf deni Gebiete des Schoenen und des Ecllen. Darum lasst auch uns ihre Werke fleissig lesen, denn nur so werden wir aus ilinen Nutzen ziehen, und die unbedeutende Frage nach clem Rung eines Jeden wird wegen der grossartigen Macht ihrer Dichtung- ininier mehr und mehr in den Hintergrund treten.

LATIN ORATION Harold Schulz BIMILLENNIUM OF VIRGIL ,

On the Ides of October of the year 70 B. C. a man was born in the little village of Andes near Mantua, who, although two thous­ and years have passed since his birth, is not only known to the scholars and educated people of our days, but is held by them to be one of the greatest poets of all times. This man is Publius Virgilius Maro, In his own time Virgil was called the Prince of Latin Poets, and since then while the world has been rocked by the ri^e and fall of nations his preeminence seemingly never changed.

His memory enlightened the Dark Ages. He penetrated the reborn culture of Europe. And he has influenced the literature and style of authors up to the modern times. Having- these facts in mind, a person wonders what powers were concealed in this child of the soil, that set his- works so high in the estimation of the lit­ erary world.

First of all the works of Virgil, his Eclogues, his Georgies, 65

3 '

i

'

and especially his Aeneid impress us with the depth of his great learning. His father had probably intended him to 1)e an advo­ cate, and he had sent him to school to study literature, history, rhetoric, and especially court procedure in order to prepare him for his public career. However, as soon as he became of age, he followed his own inclinations, he dropped the cramping technique of the rhetorical course and devoted himself completely to the study of Greek and Latin literature. To get in touch with the talented men of the day, he moved to Naples, the natural resort of all those Greek and Oriental rhetoricians, philosophers, historians, poets, and artists, who drifted Romeward from the fading East. Coming into contact with these men, Virgil imbibed the essence of a vast knowl­ edge. He learned to know the Iliad and Odyssey so well that Homer's expressions and sentiments seemed to become his very own. He also became thoroughly acquainted with the best prose and poetry that Rome’s own literary history had to offer. That he possessed such a wide and deep range of knowledge of the world’s best literature, the vast learning and the legendary lore of the Georgies and the Aeneid a1)undantly prove.

As a student of liberal arts Virgil studied his philosophy. To what else could we credit the romantic charm in his description of nature, his fine (liscernment of man's emotions, and the clearer un­ derstanding of the difference between mere ritual correctness and social virtue? It was also the study of philosophy that freed his mind from trivial myths and cleared the way for the liberal use of his imagination.

We can also say that \ irgil, as a thoroughly cultured man was as familiar with the great productions of art in existence in his time as he was with IIoilier and Epicurus. He often walked through the Forum in Rome, and visited the art museums on his travels. It is no wonder then that it would seem from many passages in describing a well known event or in portraying a hero, that Virgil had his eye upon their appearance in art. Only he did not portray them with the Greek idealism, but with the Roman realism. as we see for example, if we compare his portraiture of Laocoon in the Aeneid with the idealistic Laocoon Group of the Greek sculptures.

To round off the background of his knowledge he seems to have traveled extensively. The poet certainly knew Italy remark­ ably well. The poor and inaccurate maps that were in existence then, and the geographies could not have provided him with the necessary information and insight into the details which the Georgics and the last six books of the Aeneid reveal. We also know that Virgil went to Greece. To this trip we can ascribe Virgil's description of the dread and dangers of the seas, so vividly por­ trayed in his Aeneid.

66

Besides this book-knowledge Virgil’s works also show us his wide range and power of observation. After reading the Eclogues and the Georgies one can well imagine Virgil strolling out into the country, taking note of the shepherd songs of love, their primi­ tive customs, and their almost magical charms. Then again one can see him observing the song-birds, the insects, studying the weeds and the blights, the pests and the vermin, against which the farmer must contend, even the very blades of grass and tendrils of the vines. Then we see him straightening out from his stooped position to observe the shrubs and trees, and over these the charm­ ing far-o任 hill-tops. From the Eclogues and Georgies we turn to the Aeneid, where we see Virgil observing from a distance the wide landscapes, the sea with its billowing waves, the storm-tossed ships, and the groups of warriors marching past for the provincial fron­ tiers. All this points to his wide range of observation. But the power of his observation reveals itself in his ability to fathom the depths of human emotions. It is in the observation of man and his toil that he finds his philosophy of life: The way to happiness through work.

Most of all Virgil's greatness rests upon the exquisite and fin­ ished artistry with which he handles his material as a poet. In every line that he composed he took infinite pains to give an accur­ ate setting and atmosphere. This together with his excellent choice of words and phrases flowing forth in heroic and lyric verse with all the grace and dignity that had hitherto been characteristic of the Greeks alone, elevated Virgil to the position of Prince of the Roman poets.

Now, if we remember that Virgil in his mature art was master of this, hoard of knowledge, those memories of observations, and the finished artistry which his works portray to us, then we can readily understand why the literary world thinks so highly of him, ai.id this year invites all nations to celebrate the bimillonnium of his birthday.

1 SONNET I have an understanding with the stars On crystal nights when all the earth is sleeping Under the moon, and Peace her watch is keeping Over a quiet world. The petty wars Of little nations, and the long chained fears Of all mankind cease suddenly to mean More than a turning in the mighty stream Of brief, sweet life to the eternal years.

But when the storm-cloud hides the midnight sky, When rain is falling and white lightning flashes; When thunder, peal on peal, resounds and crashes Through-out the endless night, it seems that I Stray from the path of easy faith I trod Before, turning at last from stars, to God. Wm. Faber.

OUR STAGE

i.

!

For twenty years our musical organizations have played their concerts, and for the past three years our literary societies have presented their plays on a temporary stage in our gymnasium.

For twenty years a different stage front and scenery have been set up. Stages have been erected and torn down, revise! and recon­ ditioned ;time and money have been wasted, and not one has proved as efficient as a permanent one. A few years ago a stage of Gre­ ci an design was built; it was indeed a beautiful piece of work, Init the following Junior class, to which the annual building of the stage is left, tore it down, disected it, and used most of the material over, repainting it to serve their purpose. It was all clone in good 一 faith, but it was work wasted, for the same material is again being used, after having been repainted and cut up.

Would it not be a good idea to have a permanent stage front ?

Sceneries could be painted, a curtain put up that would not be trans­ parent. Still better! Wouldn't it be possible that a stage addition •be made to the rear of the gymnasium ? Tt would save time and money, improve the appearance, and leave more floor space, I am sure that the musical organizations and the literary societies would heartily co-operate to achieve this end. It is possible and we need one, badly! What do we say?

獅XL财 In the spring a student’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of baseball, tennis, golf, and swimming, rather than lo his studies.

The evenings are almost too pleasant to be spent at hooks; in the afternoon there are too many other things to do besides studying.

As warm weather approaches, this spirit waxes strong within us. although the final examinations, which await us in June, perhaps serve to dampen it, at least to some extent. Our college park with its numerous shade trees and neatly clipped lawn also constantly invites us and it is only by a considerable exertion of willpower that we are able to resist these temptations.

On May 16 the Northwestern Players presented Molnar’s “The Swan,” a romantic comedy in three acts, before a large audience.

The play was a decided success and certainly merited the apprecia­ tion and approval of the audience. All the characters, not only the principal ones, had been chosen with great care. The acting was excellent throughout, but Mr. Risto'v undoubtedly deserves special mention for his portrayal of Father Hyacinth.

This is a l>usy season for our musical organizations because of the trips and outside concerts. ()n May 11 the chorus gave a sacred concert at Fort Atkinson and on the next Sunday accepted an invitation to attend the Walther League convention at Madison. The chorus sang two selections for the morning service, which was broadcasted, and gave a sacred concert in the evening. On Friday evening. May 23, the orchestra played at Forest Lawn Sanitarium at Jefferson: the orchestra has furthermore been engaged to give a concert at Neosho on June 4. The band played at Tuneau on May 25, and still has trips to Hartlancl and to Milwaukee, where it is lo plav for the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession.

A college paper is a sort of prism. Througli it one can sec the seven prime characteristics of the college it represents, Sometimes the image is to a great extent obscured, and all the rays do not by any means pass through the prism. Yet there they appear: 一the seven tints of the rainbow.

Glance at the “Mooring Mast” of Pacific Lutheran College for May 21. It is a four-page edition. The front page contains news items of a greatly diversified nature. Page two holds the editor­ ials and the humor column. The chief subject matter on the third page is society and campus events. The last page is sport news.

Look through the prism with your own eyes.

Perhaps now it is evident why Northwestern has a monthly literary magazine rather than a weekly newspaper. There are not enough outside activities at our institution in a month to fill a sheet of a weekly newspaper. A great many of the students regard this as an aching chasm in what is purported to be a well-rounded education. Others are proud of this lack of social stulT. They feel that other schools lose sight of the real goal in education by overemphasis of extra-curricular campus activities. It must be re­ membered that nearly half of the student body is being trained for the ministry. .What is the proper decision? It seems to l)e a matter of ob­ jective :whether Northwestern is to be considered primarily a preministerial school or primarily a Christian institution aiming at a general cultural attainment, as complete in all its phases as possible.

Ever since the change of Black and Red staff in April the 83

editor of this column has been searching assiduously through all the Exchange columns of other papers, hoping somewhere, some­ time to find the Black and Red mentioned, if it only be a gracious line or two. For some time there was strong suspicion of a conspiracy on the part of the post-office department to embezzle the copies we send out every month. But at last we have heard of our existence somewhere! It was way out in St. Benedict, Oregon, Mount Angel College. The “Pacific Star” of May 16 had a brief note, welcoming- the Black and Red to their exchange list and com­ menting favorably upon Mr. Koehler’s interesting article of the March issue, “On Reading Newspapers." But they also remarked that they would like to see more articles of that nature in our pro­ duction.

This month there seemed to be no monumental literary creations in any of the papers on the exchange list. There are two monthlies, however, which will present a flood of ideas to an interested mind, especially now at the end of the year when we are prompted to look back and weigh school-values. They are St. Joseph's “Collegian” and the “Calvin College Chimes.” Two other papers well worth reading llirough are the "Carthage Collegian and the “Carroll Echo.”

ATlMTlS Brandt Cashiers 4; Northwestern 6 On May 10 Northwestern won its second straight victory in the Industrial League by defeating the Brandt Cashiers in a. closely contested game. Northwestern knotted the count in the ninth inning, which necessitated the playing of two innings overtime.

84

J In this game some valuable talent was discovered among Northwestern''s reserves in the person of Schroeder, who figured outstandingly in the run making. Batting for Nommensen in the fifth inning he clouted in two runs and in the eleventh batted in the final counter. Eckert and Fritze led Northwestern hitters with three hits each, Hady and Kleck led the Brandt Cashiers, also with three hits. The opposing pitchers, Raasch and Marquardl, gave a brilliant account of themselves on the mound by each mowing down nineteen batters during the course of the game.

Booth Shoes 9; Northwestern 8 On May 17 Northwestern was subjected lo its first reverse of the season by the Booth Shoes. Northwestern unleashed a broad­ side in the opening stages of the game, amassing 8 runs in the first three innings, but seemingly shied at the first sally of the Booth Shoes in the fourth. Northwestern lost ground rapidly during the progress of the game to be nosed out of a victory by one point finally in the Booth Shoe’s short flurry in the ninth. Schumann of the Booth Shoes was high man of the day with three hits ascribed to his credit.

Immediately at the beginning of the game the “Seni mamiTested unfeigned designs of prying into the win column by assuming a four-point lead, which they reta ne(l throughout the greater share of the game. In a run barrage in the eighth inning Northwestern was successful in narrowing the gap considerably by scoring three runs. In the final frame North­ western pushed over the two winning scores.

Without dispute the credit of achieving this victory belongs to Heyn, who, besides hurling good ball for eight innings, led Northwestern out of the slough of defeat by driving in the win­ ning counters. Leerssen of the Seminary hurled his usual steady game. Eckert of Northwestern contrived to fatten his batting average by unraveling three hits.

There is always something to take the joy out of life. Just when everybody wanted to do some real studying, those pesky little mosquitoes made an attack with fifty million strong. Incense, cigarette smoke, shoo Hy—nothing could prevail against them. Only by adding insult to injury did a few perish.

The last few weeks of the school year, besides the final examinations, bring banquets. On May 20, A. Schultz, R. Schoeneck, A. Witt, L. Schliesser, A. Harke, and R. Kaschinske had a chicken supper at the Main Cafe. The occasion for the feast was Mr. 88

:;

Schultz’s birthday. The athletic board had their banquet May 22, and the Tertia class on May 28. Professor Fleischer honored the Seniors with a banquet on May 28, and Dr. Ott on June 7.

"Just so it has four wheels and runs,” said “Si” Schultz to Raasch and Resting when the three bought a Ford in which they hope to reach Nebraska in time for the Fourth of July celebration.

Raasch assures us that he is not a bit worried, for as long as there are wire fences along the road a Ford can always be kept together.

Walter Koehler, ex 31, and fiancee came to to see the Swan, May 16.

The Sieglers, Vertz, Schwerin, and Stuhr hitch-hiked to Ban­ gor and from there to Mishicot in spite of all warning. “BaiUy” says: “It’s real simple. You don’t have to hail the cars. Just face every car that comes along and look pleadingly. Almost every time they’ll pick you up.”

“Spike” Vertz is going to teach at Marquette, Wis., during ihc summer.

Waldemar Pless left for home, May 23, to help celebrate the twenty-fifth wedding anniversary of his parents. He was back with us again May 26.

We must get a new alarm clock. Our old one failed to wake happened to get fifteen Sager one morning. That was how minutes extra sleep. As a reward Sager rang the bell few morn­ ings extra.

In last month’s issue it was stated that room 50 had set an en­ durance record as to leaving up Christmas decorations. The occu­ pants of room (39 wondered what was wrong with the faculties of observation of the local man. Their decorations arc still up. Jetzt hoert alle Gemuetlichkeit aber doch auf!!

What is the matter with Kaschinske lately ? He seems so deeply in thought. Evidently there is a great philosophical question on his mind. There are rumors that he is pondering1 about the weak spot in the ceiling right above “Cornie’s” and Amos’ table in the dining-hall. He cannot quite decide whether it is because of a miscalculation on the part of the plasterer—not adding enough hair and so on—or because that certain table gets the steaming-hot meals, or if it is caused merely by hot air. The solution is、simple enough. Herr Kaschinske sieht bloss den Wald vor lauter Baeumen nicht!

Have a good time during vacation, boys!

(ttn-iEi Nfltm This last month has been a rather eventful one for the co-eds.

Of first importance was “The Swan in which eight of our co-eds took part so successfully.

The election of officers was a heated affair, because of the de­ mands of the preps to hold offices. In this matter the precedent of having only collegiate ofTicers was broken, and it was finally decided that the colleg：iatcs and preps each hold one major office.

Accordingly, Eugenia Meyer wjis elected president: Gertrude Nauniann, vice-president; Lillian Lutovsky, secretary, and Julia Knispcl, treasurer. We hope to ward off just a few of our friendly quarrels which arose from the oratorical quotation of the preps: 'Taxation without representation is tyranny.M We were all excited for a few days because wc expected Alice Hentzin to leave for Milwaukee to teach in a parochial school.

However, Alice is still with us.

The four members of the Tertia class reported an excellent time at their 1)uncjuet held at lhe Washington Hotel. Betty Jaeger has already accepted a position in the office of the Pea Canning Co. at Oconomowoc. Glcnna Rasmussen and Ruth Mayer intend to enter some college next fall. Hertha Notbohm hasn’t decided just what she will do.

Speaking of banquets, the co-eds are planning one for June 10 a't the Green Bowl as a farewell to the Tertianers and Alice Bentzin.

Several of the collcgiates intend to return to Northwestern next year: l^ctty Faber, Eugenia Meyer, Lillian Lutovsky, Vivian Engel, Lillian Trapp, and Gertrude Wendland have decided definitely, but Ruth Ibisch. Gladys Hallett. Iverne Zorr, and Inez Nicnow may n,ot l)e back. Myrtle Paap intends to continue with her commercial studies next year, and Elaine Schimmel will enter Lawrence College.

Gertrude Naimmnn was surprised by a number of friends on her birthday. May 26. The surprise was planned by her sister Helen, and Vivian Engel.

- of school. we are kept busy writing in With the last few clays memory books, planning vacations, and dreaming of examinations.

In spite of the fact that they are sorry the year is over，the Freshman girls arc willing to let the future Freshmen bear the burden of carrying their “heiivy-as-lea(l” Rostovtzeff.

HOW STATION WWJ AND RADIO-BROADCASTING AROSE On Wednesday evening, August 20, 1930, Station WWJ, rl he Detroit News, Detroit. Mich., celebrated its tenth anniversary uf radio-broadcasting. The radio is one of the three great inven­ tions of the twentieth century, the other two being the automobile and the aeroplane. These inventions completely revolutionized civilization during the past ten years or more, so that no matter where one may go, he will find these three employed in the service of mankind to such an extent that one can hardly believe it possible to live without these. Ten years ago the radio was only a fad, but now it is become universal. .

Although this year marks the tenth anniversary of radio­ broadcasting and the use of receiving sets, yet wireless, which gives rise to the radio, goes back ninety-two years to the year 1838. At this time K. A. Steinheil of Munich, Germany, acting upon a suggestion from Gauss, used the ground for one leg of a telegraphic circuit, and he concluded from this that the metallic leg of the circuit might soon be abandoned.

A long series of experiments since then slowly brought the 94

娜j science of radio to its present state of development. This series of experiments includes the following points of interest. In 1842 Morse transmiltcd signals across a canal in Washington. In 1854 James Bowman Lindsay put Steinlieil’s idea into operation over the river Tay. In 1880 J. Trowbridge employed the use of this system between ships and across the ocean. In 1882 Graham Bell communicated with ships on the Potomac over a distance of a mile and a half. A few years later Trowbridge suggested a system of communicating over a distance 1)y induction ratlier tlian conduction, ns had formerly been done. His method, using closed circuits for transmission and reception, was demonstrated in 1891. This miglit be called the real birth of radio. A. W. Heaviside sent radio sig­ nals through two and one fourth miles of earth, from the surface of the ground into a coal mine, 1)y the pure inductive system.

Other men who played a part in this series of experiments were Prof. H. Hertz of Bonn, Germany, Sir W. H. Preece, Willoughby S. Smith, W. P. Granville, Prof. E. Rathcnau of Berlin, Germany.

Sir Oliver Lodge, S. Evcrshed, Thomas A. Edison, who worked out a system for sending; code to moving trains, and others.

Station WWJ was the pioneer of broadcasting stations, the first to broadcast a regular program over the air. Its first pro­ gram was presented on Friday, August 20, 1920.

Radio-broadcasting;, particularly over Station WWJ, had its origin in- a noteworthy event of 1902. Back in 1902 a young in­ ventor, who had visioned the transmission of wireless messages through the air, told his story to a Detroit editor, who believed in the future of science. The young inventor was Thomas E. Clark; the editor. Janies E. Scripps, the founder of the Detroit News.

“The time will come,” said the young inventor eagerly, “when you will even sit in your own home and be entertained by music played thousands of miles away. Men will talk across countless miles of waste and water; nations will be drawn closer together because, through this new discovery, they will better understand each other.”

Mr.. Scripps heard his full story before he spoke. Other peo­ ple: business men, bankers, etc., would- not accept such an impos­ sibility, and said it was only a dream of a flighty brain. . An invitation was extended to Mr. Scripps and his son Wil­ liam E. to attend a private demonstration. This consisted of sendii?g wireless messages between his laboratory in a building oppo­ site the present Book-Cadillac Hotel to a receiving station located twcj ^J°cks away in the Chamber of Commerce Building, at State 咒d Griswold streets. The demonstration was successful. When Uark had finished his demonstration and had poured into the cars of 'lie editor.all of his dreams, his beliefs and his hopes, Mr. Scripps took something from his pocket and began writing. lie young invenjtor sat motionless, not daring to hope that t le scratching of the pen in the editor’s hand meant anything to 95

him. hardly daring to breathe. The pen scratched on; tlierq was no other sound in the room. And then James E. Scripps, the man who, too, had once had a vision, a vision of a great newspaper plant, turned to young Clark and handed him a slip of paper. The inventor reached for it with trembling fingers—it was a check for $1,000. This was Mr. Scripps’ little bit toward helping a little idea become a big, worthwhile fact. He watched young Tom Clark expand his idea. He saw wireless telegraphy become an established fact. He began to sec its commercial value. .Meanwliile the editor's son, William E., now president of the Detroit News, became interested in a still newer mystery of science —radio. Like his father, the son began to see radio’s value and possibility. He often visited Mr. Clark and talked over his ideas with him, and later took great delight in sending and receiving wireless messages.

About that time his voun.q- son, William J., also took interest in radio, and urged his father tn Imy him a wireless outfit. With this toy the boy spent much of his time listening to voices that came over the air. and was somewhat successful. When his father listened to this toy he he^an to realize that great things would some day come from this science by which we could talk to each other without the use of wire.

The thought struck him, said Mr. Scripps, that it would be most interesting for readers of the News, if they installed a radio­ broadcasting set in the office ami sent out news events. The more _ he thought about it the more he was convinced that the Detroit News must be the first newspaper in the country to have a radio­ broadcasting outfit. He presented the idea to his associates, rind finally it was decided to appropriate funds to erect such a station for the entertainment of the people.

The station began broadcasting with a series of experimental programs on twenty walls, Friday, August 20, 1920. At that time the Government did not require a license, and it was not until later that the call letters of AVWJ were adopted. Probably the most active and interested man al)out the station during its early stages was William E. Scripps, the son of the editor, who, years before, had given his check for $1,000 to the young inventor to make this broadcasting possible. ,When one takes a glance at the tenth birthday program of Station WWJ on Wednesday, August 20, 1930, lie will notice that tliis same William E. Scripps, who had been present at the dem­ onstration of the young inventor in 1902, delivered a talk over the radio that evening. The story above is based mainly on his talk.

BOSTON CORBETT, THE MAN WHO SHOT THE MAN WHO SHOT LINCOLN Every schoolboy knows that on April 14, 1865, John W. Booth shot Abraham Lincoln. Everyone knows of the assassin’s flight and of his death in a barn in Virginia by the gun of a soldier who fired without orders, but few know the name of that soldier, much less anything of his life. That man was Boston Corbett.

Thomas P. Corbett was born in England in 1832. When he was about seven years old his family moved to Troy, New Xork.

There he learned the trade of hatter and later moved to Danbury, Conn., to practice his trade there. While in Boston at one time, he became converted in one of the Boston churches. Henceforth he signed his name as he was a religious fanatic. From then “Boston” Corbett because Christ changed the names of his apostles when he chose them.

When the Civil War broke out Corbett immediately volun­ teered. When the commander of the barracks at Washington called for twenty-five volunteers to capture Booth，Corbett was among those who responded. Booth was cornered in the barn ot the Garret farm and when he refused to come out Corbett volunteered to go in after him, but the officer in charge refused. Or­ ders were to capture Booth alive but when he rushed out of the barn with a pistol in his hand, Corbett，against orders, sent a bullet into his brain. Instead of being praised and rewarded as Jie exjjecled, Corbett was arrested for disobeying orders. Later be rcccived part of the reward for the capture of Booth, but henceforth he was disgraced and half-crazcd by the treatment he had received.

He again took up his trade as hatter but letters signed “Booth’s Avenger” and threatening his life drove him to Kansas. People were continually asking him to tell the story of Booth’s death but Corbett refused lo discuss it. When someone remarked that the bullet that killed Booth travelled almost the same path througrh the brain as the one which killed Lincoln, Corbett said, **00(1 di­ rected that bullet.”

There is a story which says that Corbett broke up a session of the Kansas legislature. After he came to Kansas he obtained a post as doorkeeper at the state capitol. One day the clerks and pages organized a mock session, but when one of them arose to invoke a blessing. Corbett, revolver in hand, disbanded them. This most likely is the foundation of the story.

The next morning_ Corbett was placed in an insane asylum, but made his escape and headed for Mexico. This was the last anyone ever heard of Boston Corbett. He had sought to avenge his coun­ try, but only brought disgrace upon himself.

THE LOON In order to forestall any false idea that might arise about our loon, let it be said that this article is not intended to be a discus­ sion of the village half-wit but of a creature whose ways are just as puzzling and probably more so than those of the half-wit. This loon, also known as the great northern diver, is a waterbird about the size of a goose. It has glossy black feathers showing irides­ cent violet and green tints. The back, neck, and wings are spotted and barred with white, but the breast is pure white. Even though the loon is called the handsomest of the diving birds, nevertheless it would make a sorry sight on land. Its legs are set so far back on its body that the bird cannot walk on land, but must use its bill and wings as crutches.

The shyness of the 1)ii.cl and its love of solitude make it one of the most difficult birds to study. As soon as one thinks he has reached a point from which to observe the bird, it disappears without so much as a splash only to come up again at a more distant point. In this matter the loon resembles a submarine. It can change its specific gravity by taking in or leaving out air. It can swim as far as a hundred yards under water, or can skim along with only its head above the surface. Whether the loon uses its wings in diving and in swimming under water is hard to deter­ mine. Hunters cannot easily bag; a loon, because it will disap­ pear nine times out of ten before the bullet reaches the spot where the bird had been floating- apparently unconcerned a moment before. But as one writer has said, since the flesh of the loon is dark, tough, and unpalatable，the sportsman loses nothing of value except his temper." This bird feeds entirely on fish, which it catches with its strong bill by diving after them. Once it has caught the fish, it brings it to the surface, tosses it into the air, and catches and swallows it head first. , The loon is also very swift on the wing. It spends its summers as far north as the Arctic Circle and in the secluded inland waters of Canada and the northern states. Here it builds a very slight nest so near the water that it can glide away without touching its feet on the sand. The loon lays but two eggs which are of a dull green color with dark brown spots. In some places th.e loons form large colonies or hatcheries called looneries. When winter comes and the ice locks up the food, the loon migrates southward as far as the Gulf of Mexico, where it is sometimes found fifty miles from shore.

To hear the loon gives one a greater thrill than to see it. Any person who has camped on the shores of one of the northern lakes and not heard the call of the loon at midnight has ^missed something. * The loon has two cries. One is a more pleasing call 98

which somewhat resembles the sound of a clog baying the moon.

This call Longfellow referred to when he wrote: “The loon that laughs and flics Down to those reflected skies.”

One gets a different sensation, though, when the loon lets out his long-drawn, weird, uncanny scream ,which causes one’s skin to tighten and one’s breath to stick in the throat. It makes a camper reach over to feel whether his “pardner” is still near him • This must be the cry that Thoreau referred to in his "Walden as “liis ‘looning’一perhaps the wildest cry ever heard here.” This weird cry, associated with lonely waters and hardships, has been the source of much superstition among northern peoples.

31 n iMemariam EVALINE VOIGT O11 August 30. 1930, the Lord called from our midst a consci­ entious and sincere sliulcnt, Kvaline Voigt. Miss Voigt was born in Chile, Wisconsin, January 22, 1912. Soon after, her parents moved to Wausau, where she attended the Christian Day School up to the sixth grade. Then the family moved to Watertown, where she attended St. John's Christian Day School for one year and St. Mark's for two years. She entered Northwestern s pre­ paratory department in September, 1925, attending it until well up into the month oC September, 1928, when she was forced to dis­ continue because of illness. She moved to Texas on account of her health, remaining there one year, after which she came back to Wisconsin, thinking she had recovered. Around Christmas she was forced to go South again, this time to Arizona. She died in Glendale, Arizona, August 23. 1930. Her remains were brought to Watertown, where they were buried August 30. May those 、vlio mourn her all too early death find comfort in the、vc^ds of the Saviour: “Where I am, there shall also my servant be.”

COLUMNAE It has come to my attention that there have been various com­ plaints as to calling our former “Campus and Classroom” column “Ifunior.” The complaints are justified but the former name was an original one and in my estimation ought to be honored. The sad part of the thing is that the name "Campus and Classroom”, is hardly a fitting title for the column, simply because it contains very little of the humor that is laughed at in the respective places.

Do not think it is the fault of the joke editor that it is not published.

He cannot be in all classrooms and everywhere Oil the campus at all hours of the clay. It is lip to us, each and every one of us, to supply him with good jokes. Many remarks, including sarcastic, ha^e been made about the little green box marked “Black and Red，” which is located in the lower hall of the recitation building，but without avail. This box, as very few of us still remember, was put up for the purpose of depositing peanut shells ancl the like, !)ut was put there to let one drop whatever has happened (pertain­ ing to the jocular only) in or out of the classroom. As soon as this is done 've’ll have a new cut above the Column, again bearing the age old and best inscription— CAMPUS AND CLASSROOM %

OUR ADVERTISERS Yes, fellows, they deserve a break. Just because it is they, and only they, who finance our monthly paper, I thought it a good idea to acquaint our students and others who read this magazine with our and their advertisers. I must, frankly admit that, until the lot of advertising manager had fallen to me a few years past, I had paid little or no attention to the ads; and the thought has often come to me, ‘.How many others are as you once were?” We can’t all l)e advertising managers and still we can, in our own sim­ ple way: that is by reading them. They are an interesting feature, both in constructive wording; and picture-appeal. Look them over and patronize those who so willingly advertise, some of them hav­ ing advertised in our publication for over thirty years.

So here \vc are back at our old occupation again. Vacation and all that it brought with itself is a thing of the past, and we are again forced to turn uur at lent ion to the present, its lal)ors and hardships and worries; its pleasures and enjoyments. This year we have an enrollment of alH)iit 230 students, which is somewhat less than Iasi year's enrollment. The cause for this decrease :nay l)e attrilmted to the general economic depression of the present time, but in some measure perhaps also to the increased charge of board. About 150 students arc living in the dormitory, the other eighty, living or hoarding in private homes.

W e have by this time nearly recovered from the “pumpliaml.linf backslapping1, impackii'q.，and arranging of our rooms, and arc ready for the work before us. The musical organizations, with the exception of the hand, are rather slow in getting started tliis year. Of course the hand lias to begin work in earnest imme­ diately, since it has already two engagements to fill this monthi l his will mean plenty of rehearsing- and individual practicing in view of the losses sustained last year by graduation and otherwise.

Contrary to the―hopes and expectations of all, Prof. Westendorf was not able to be installed as a member of our faculty on . the „ opening day, September 3. Illness has hitherto preven e from assuming the duties of his office. Lluis the stuclen s as yet not made his acquaintance; hut they sincerely nope ia may speedily recover allcl take up his work among us.

Pro1)ably the most conspicuous of the several improvements made during the summer months is the new steel fence separating 106

the campus proper from the college park. Since the fence lias been erected farther north than the old fence was, our backyard is now not nearly so small and cramped as formerly.

The usual painting in the building was clone under contract this year by Mr. Mackclanz and Mr. Voges, both of whom are at­ tend ing the Seniinary at Thiensv.ille.

The tennis courts, which had been resurfaced last year are t<ďź&#x152; be replaced by a concrete court. This concrete tennis court will have the distinction of being the first of its kind in the city.

Architect's drawings of the proposed new library building arc now on display in the main hall of the recitation building.

It is with regrets that we announce the absence of the Exchange _ Column in our issue for this month. George Rowe, our _ Exchange editor, having; changed Alma Maters, is continuing his work at the University ot Wisconsin for the present. George pre­ sented the column in a differeiU light than heretofore clone, setting forth his views in an open and frank manner. We shall miss him on our staff.

jimmies FOOTBALL

On September 4, the first time since the last shin was oruiscd in 1929, a vanguard of Northwestern football aspirants assembled on the gridiron prepared to enter another season of strenuous prac tice and strict training.

In reviewing the s<|ua<l at large one could not . help but notice , the j-ap left bv the graduation of four lettcrmen, viz: Kettenacker, l'ritic, Ruiz, and Ber^fcld, and bv the failure of '\itt and i、asc 1 to return this fall. The appearance of our four stalwart, ve era linemen, Victor Schultz, l lcyn, Bucn^cr, Engel, and of btulir, our veteran hackficld man, on the other hand, was impressive as wen as most gratifying. After subjecting the squad to a closer scru iny, hopes of a successful season were dampened for a moment w len 1^ was learned that ex-captain Haefncr, Rossin, Naumann ancl an niann would not appear in suits this fall, because they liacl no' recovered sufficiently from injuries sustained last season. New hopes, however, were kindled while perusing the reserves ro?_ last year and the prospective new material. ^l}^ hveQ.e i^, men to serve as a foundation, it would seem that in Hilbert bieg , a slippery performer in the back field, in Reuschel, a u back on last year’s “prep” team, in Liesner, Raasch and b. bcliew® all contending for backfield positions, ancl in such promising can didates for the line among the new material as Gentz, ex-cap am of the “preps,” in L. Schliesser, Bolle, M. Lemke, O. Lemke, K. Lemke, Scheck and Raabe ample material is at our command or 108

the molding of an aggregation that could cope witli the average college team.

In past years we have been handicapped 1)y the fact that the heavy task of coaching has devolved on one man. Under such a condition, it was not only impossible for him to concentrate his efforts on individual players, which is of paramount consideration and probably more necessary in our circles than al other colleges, since most of the men on our squad have had little or no football training before enrolling, at Northwesteni, hut the experienced players had to 1)e called on lo help teach the newcomers the funda­ mentals rather than receive additional coaching themselves. In consideration of these difficulties Dr. Craine, a local dentist, has been prevailed upon to assist Coach Kleinke on the gridiron this season. He will have charge of the line, thereby enabling Coach Kleinke to concentrate his efforts and to focus his attention solely on the backfield. Conscious of our lack of reserve strength, this will offer a splendid opportunity to lay less stress on a simplerunning game, which we have used without great success in past years, and to substitute a more deceptive system of attack this season in keeping with some of our rival colleges, where it has proved successful.

The following shedule has been arranged: Sept . 27..... ...... .............. Beloit (liere) Oct. 4 Milwaukee Normal (there) Oct. 11 ...... ............ Whitewater (there) Oct. 18 -------- Lake Forest (here) Oct. 25 ....

Nov, 1 .................. Carroll (there) Nov. 7 -…… ..................—Millon (here) i lie athletic editor in this pre-season speculation is very chccrful over the. prospects for the season and is much concerned that the proverbial ''fighting spirit” existing at Northwestern in times past be resurrected. Arc there still enough among us that really CtU'e and that possess the necessary pluck and courage about its realization ? '

Ill spite of the decrease in the enrollment, there are quite a few new faces at Northwestern. The Sexta class has an enroll­ ment of thirty-four. Many of these have not been away from home for any length of time. For them it is quite a change. Let us cheer them up and make them like it here.

Some time this fall a concrete tennis ourt will be constructed on the campus, "Phis court will 1>e the first of its kind in the city.

It will also improve the appearance of that part of the campus.

The new fence which was stretched across the campus this summer lias improved it considerably already.

Professor Westendort, the new member of the faculty, was not able to see any of his classes until September fifteenth. Mr. Martin Franzmann was teaching in his stead.

Because a number of Juniors did not return, many Sophomores are room monitors this year. All have shown pretty good leadcr' so far. As an outsUincling- example we have monitor of room 27:1, In no time he has things whipped into shape. Where does he get his pep ?

It was said tlial the monitor of room 33 paid $9 for a set of damask curtains. We wonder if he made his money legally.

1 Minature golf does serve a purpose. People are now able to count from 1 to 100 again. What is more important, everybody has a chance now to wear golf knikers without deceiving the public.

"Better late than never,” say Froehlich, Heier, Dobratz, Witte, and Zimpelmann. In striking contrast we liave A1 Alaas. He came a day too soon.

It is pretty hard to make some Scxtaners understand that the sun dial does not need winding, that there is no such thing as a left-handed monkey wrench, that the rooms and 力alls have to be swept daily, that nine-thirty is bed time, and that the room moni­ tors are human beings. Don't laugh! Rememl^er when you were a Sextaner!

On August 26, Evaline Voight, a former Co-ed, was •Drouglit to Watertown for burial from Glendale, Arizona, where she had been living the last two years.

The Prep, girls arc busy deciding what kind of curtains they want for their room since the old ones are too worn for further use.

A survey was conducted among1 the girls to determine what kinds of work they did this summer. The result is tabulated below: Six clerked in a department store; two at a canning company; one in office of shoe factory: one bookkeeper at ice company: two waitresses; one maid : one nurse: one instructress at playground: one assistant in library.

Thus sixteen of the girls were employed at remunerative work.

We hear Myrtle J^aap, who was injured in an automobile acci­ dent on the ColTce road, is rapidly recovering from her injuries, and we hope soon to see her hack in school.

Knoll has already offered his smoking contest (for in­ formation see Knoll or the bulletin hoard), but we expect to have a large list to pick from soon, so we could give him no definite an­ swer. If you have a contest that you think the world should know about, hand it in, Manuscripts not returned (our waste basket is emptied every morning).

AN APOLOGY FOR HIGH LIVING 'So, so! von der Flak’ aus denkst du ueber die Goetter weg; Und nicht von ebner Erde; nicht?” ' —Aristophanes' “Clouds” (Droysen) In former days no distinction was made between third-floor residents and those quartered farther down; in both classes one could find serious-minded students. But with the luxuries of civili­ zation there crept in also elements which caused the two types to separate and divided them into strata as we notice today.

The fact that all cyclopaedias, manuals, and reference books of various kinds were placed on First Floor served to seduce those whose desire lay in getting as much as possible with the least pos­ sible expenditure of energy. In consequence their one aim was to gain proximity to the reference room, where the fruits of liter­ ary research might be had for the plucking. ..

The others, whom we must now term true students, wishing to avoid even a suspicion of sloth, not to mention actual dishonesty, fled the society of these men and established themselves in sections far removed from temptation. .

A study of these underlying causes helps to explain the pres­ ence of the most desirable fraction of our student population on Third Floor. Now we should begin to understand also the nature 115

of the feud that has smouldered in our midst for more than Iwo decades and has led to the spreading、of propaganda against Third Floor which is seriously menacing its immigration.

As an exponent of this much defamed region and in my ca­ pacity as apologist, I have made every effort to discredit false re­ ports, and in a preceding paragraph I have succeeded, I believe, in proving beyond dispute that advantages of association alone would make our topmost flat the lodestone of aspiring students. So apparent is this fact that it is subject to little or no contradiction.

Instead, our detractors lavish their ill remarks on insignificant features of landscape or location which are as absurd as they are untrue.

Most arguments seem to hinge either directly or indirectly upon altitude. An infinite number of permutations and combinations of objections have been offered on this head which involve anything from stair-cases to atmospheric pressure. Included in this division is also our alleged lack of governmental authority. Other favorite themes center about the lack of social contact at these heights and resultant perversion of character; although, in a strict sense, such matters also are relative to altitude. Let us treat a few of these topics in their proper relation to each other.

Taking it for granted that everyone is interested in cultivating' correct habits of health and habit, what could be more to any in­ dividual’s liking than the convenience of combining necessary labor with pleasurable exercise ? This is exactly as matters stand; ancl from the incomparable thrill of a rush to the breakfast-table to the moderate pace of a last ascent from the smoking-room, there is no lack of pleasure in watching the banisters glide past.

Social activity and questions of government are strangely enough kindred subjects in a dormitory of our kind; ignorance of this fact on the part of critics is in itself worthy of a squelching1 defensive thrust. These back-stage noises dare to boast of a strong central government with numerous auxiliary reform committees, and to accuse us of harboring* among us corrupt officials, perpetu­ ally asleep at their posts and unmindful of midnight attempts to scale our stair-cases and fire-escapes. At the same time they speak of social activity, when evidence has it that such cannot exist with­ out disregard for government sanction.

But the crowning error lies in total unawareness of one of the greatest principles ever laid down in past history, proved by Northwestern's first graduating class, and found by subsequent trials to hold good within all limits of experimental error ,that namely: Respect for authority increases directly as the square of the dis­ tance that separates subject from overlord.

The main themes having been dealt with and lack of space preventing me from an exhaustive treatment of my subject, I take 116

I-

the opportunity of asking you, Gentle Reader, to bear with me, if, 111 my patriotic ardor, I have dealt somewhat too harshly with our fellow-students of lower station, or portrayed third-floor advantages in color too bright.

SERICULTURE ,Sericulture, the art of raising silkworms, was introduced in China by Si-Ling, wife of Huang-ti about 2640 B. C. It was her liobl)y to take care of silkworms and the looms. This privilege was granted only to the royal and noble families. In spite of the fact that this secret of the silkworm was so jealously guarded, it got to the common people, when in the third century the Koreans captured some Chinese, four girls were able to teach the Korean court the secret of the silkworm and the art of plain and figurative weaving.

• . About this time sericulture spread to India, thanks to a Chinese princess who in the lining of her dress carried eggs of the silkworm and seeds of the mulberry tree to that country. From here the art spread to Persia and Central Asia. The first mention of the silkworm in literature we find in Aristotle’s “Historia Animalia,” where he says: ‘‘a great worm distinguishes itself from others by its horns. At its first metamorphosis it produces a cater­ pillar, then a bambylius, and lastly a chrysalis—all these changes taking place within six months. From this animal women separate and reel off the cocoon and afterwards spin them.”

During the Christian era. the silkworm was introduced in • Rome. Silk got to be a very expensive luxury there. It is said that the emperor Aurelian never wore it nor did he allow his wife to wear any, because silk was worth its weight in gold. Later, like the Chinese emperors, Julian reserved the monopoly of the trade to himself. Two Persian monks who learned the mystery of rais­ ing silkworms in China smuggled over to Byzantium some eggs and mulberry seed in a hollow bamboo cane. From here the art of raising the silkworm spread east and west. Sericulture was tried in niany other countries, but the project proved fruitless. In England and America much money was lost on this venture, This industry is onlv only Drofitable profitable where the mulberrv mulberry tree flou: flourishes and wheree labor is cheap.

Silk is produced by a worm that feeds on the mulberry leaf.

The worms are hatched from inconspicuous little eggs, called <fsilk 40,000 bluish seed.” One ounce of eggs 一 contains approximately “ -................... specks. Formerly this “seed” was hatched by the heat of the human. bocly.

- This method ________ has_ now been replaced by incubators, which is more practical, because all eggs hatch simultaneously.

117

When hatched the worms are about the size of ants and look ashy white. The eggs are usually hatched when the mulberry leaves begin to shoot out, so that the little animals get the young tender leaves as their first meal. The worms increase rapidly in size and demand more space and more food. When about three or four days old each little creature consumes an entire mulberry leaf itself. The worms are usually placed in a shallow basket four feet in diameter. If you would bend over one of these you would see thousands of silver gray worms as long as your little finger and thick as a pencil, munching away on their leaves. Yes, you could even hear their little jaws. The time of feeding is about forty-two days. During this time they go through four periods of sleep of twenty-four hours each. After each rest their skin cracks and falls off and a new layer of skin appears. Their final feed lasts ten days.

It is surprising how much these little worms devour. One ounce of “silk seed” yields about 30,00 to 35,000 worms. During the first few days they consume about nine pounds of tender leaves; from the third to the sixth clay, the first period of rest, about forty-five pounds of dry leaves; from first to second, one hundred pounds; from the second to third, two hundred and forty pounds: from the third to the fourth, four hundred and seventy-two pounds; anr! during their ten-day feast, one thousand live liundred and fortv pounds of leaves. All told, 35,000 worms consume about 2,000 pounds of leaves during their feeding period. These worms yield about 140 pounds of cocoons, which in turn yield twelve pounds of raw silk.

When the creature is ready to spin the cocoon, it raises the fore part of its body and reels from side to side. Then bushes of scrub oak are placed into the basket. On these the silkworm fas­ tens its “tomb.” It weaves its "death cell" by means of a silk fluid, a clear mucilage, which is expressed from the unclerlip in two strands.^ This fluid hardens upon contact with air. The worm spins this around himself in the form of a figure eight. After eight clays those cocoons which are to yield the silk are picked out. They ?re about one and a half inches long and from a half-inch to one inch in diameter. These are killed either by suffocation or by steam. After they are suffocated, they are spread on a bed of canva® from six to eight weeks. During this period they are turned twice daily, in order that the chrysalis dries up. Killing them by steam is a ticklish proposition. If they are left in the steam too long, it damages the fibre, if not long enough, the chrysalis may revive and cut his way through the fi1n.es thus spoiling yards and yards of silk thread. The thread is unwound by trained girls. It quite a trick to unwind a cocoon without breaking' the thread.

One cocoon yields from 800 to 1200 yards of thread.

Those cocoons which are not used for silk are left to develop 118

t

^:Ren j

into moths. About the tenth day after the silkworm has begun to spin its cpcoon, it forces its way through the fibres and emerges as a moth. These moths lay the “silk seed.” Now the same story repeats itself: hatching, feeding, picking the cocoons for silk, and letting the moth develop for “seed.” That is why the silkworm is looked upon by some people as a symbol of immortality.

INTERESTING POINTS IN CHICAGO In Chicago, the metropolis of our Middle West, one will find many points of in terest. Some are so vast and interesting that an entire day or even a week could be spent in visiting and studying a single one of them with the feeling1 of satisfaction that the time was well spent. Here almost everybody will find something that will interest him either in business, in education, or in recreation.

The Loop, the famous heart of Chicago, alone will afford one much interest. Here are located some of the largest banks and centers of transaction in the world, that directly or indirectly affect the lives of every citizen of the United States, as well as our gov­ ernment and even foreign governments. Along La Salle Street, the Wall Street of the Mickiie West, are located the Fifth Federal Reserve Bank and several other large banks; the busy Stock Ex­ change ;the City Hall and County Court House, in which many interesting law cases are held: and the Board of Trade Building, which is the greatest grain market in the world and the home of the famous “Wheat; Pit，” where Russia was lately causing our brokers much uneasiness. Here the rise and fall of grain prices are - regulated daily, according to the law of supply and demand.

The large transactions that are negotiated in this building in just a few seconds affect almost every person in the world. It is more thrilling to watch these brokers in their transactions than to see a big university football game. In the Loop one will also find the greatest retail dry goods section in the world, including the world's largest retail store.

Along the lake front and especially along Michigan Avenue are innumerable points of interest, especially to students and to piose interested in art, literature, and science. The avenue is an internationally famous boulevard and one of the greatest in the world. The Art Institute, located on Michigan Avenue and facing the Loop, contains valuable collections of paintings and sculpture by famous articts and also many beautiful Old-World and Ameri­ can Antiques. It ranks among the best art galleries in the world ancj has a large art school in connection with it. The beautiful white Wrigley Building and Annex, built by the “Chewing Gum 119

1 King，” and the Tribune Tower, where the “Chicago Tribune” is published, lie just north of the mouth of the Chicago River on Michigan Avenue. The Tribune Tower is a wonderful piece of Gothic architecture from whose tower one can see across Lake Michigan on a clear day. The Chicago Public Library, containing： over one million volumes together with many music manuscripts and special documents, lies just south of the Tribune Tower. A reference room containing a vast collection of standard .works on every subject in English and the principal foreign languages, is arranged for immediate use.

The world-famous Field Museum of Natural History and the nationally-known Soldiers Field Stadium, which adjoins the Field Museum, are located on the south end of Grant Park, which is just east of the Loop and Michigan Avenue. The architecture of the Soldiers Field Stadium is of the Greek Classic Style and is built like a “U” with the north end open. It has a seating capacity of 55,000 people and is the scene of the anual Chicago Police reviews, pageants, the annual nationally-known rodeos, athletic contests, such as the Army and Navy football game and the heavyweight championship bouts, and congresses, like the world-wide Catholic meeting of a few years ago. At the Field Museum one could spend an interesting week or more and gain a wonderful education, espec­ ially in Natural History. To give a fair impression of its contents would require a lengthy description. It houses a remarkable col­ lection of anthropological, botanical, geological, zoological exhibits, many being the result of famous expeditions. Many birds and animals are shown in their natural habitat as they appear in the four seasons of the year. Here are many trophies brought back

by Theodore and Kermit Roosevelt from their recent expedition through the Asiatic wilderness, which expedition was made expressly for the Field Museum. It also possesses a very good exhibit of a dinosaur and other prehistoric animals. In a safely guarded room the finest jewelry collection in the world is kept.

The resources of this museum are so vast that it is impossible to see everything- in one day.

The Chicago Historical Society, located about five miles north o.f the loop, will offer the student of history much interest, The library contains 50,000 volumes, many original manuscripts, maps and early newspapers; and the museum, connected with it, contains portraits, models, relics, and souvenirs of historical impor­ tance.

Chicago also boasts of many beautiful and interesting parks an<^[ boulevards noted for their perfect specimens of tropical vege­ tation, gaily colored botanical gardens, terraces, and provisions for many phases of recreation. Among the noted attractions at Lin­ coln Park, located just north of the Loop and along the lake

i

120

I front, are St. Gauclen’s famous statue of Abraham Lincoln, and its famous zoo, containing over four thousand specimens, which is the finest collection in the world. In Jackson Park, located about seven miles south of the Loop and the site of the World’s Colum­ bian Exposition of 1893, is anchored a replica of the Santa Maria, the flagship of the three sailing vessels used by Columbus when he discovered America. Some of the World’s Fair buildings of 1893 are still to be seen. Besides these two main parks, there are many other noteworthy parks: Washington Park, Humbolt Park containing the statue of Leif Erickson; Garfield Park, containing the second largest conservatory in the world, a statue of Robert Burns, and a monument to Queen Victoria: Clarendon Beach; the ball parks of the White Sox and Cubs: and the White City Amusement Park.

In Chicago and its suburb, Evanston, are situated two of the Big Ten universities : The University of Chicago and the North­ western University. The University of Chicago was founded by a grant of land from Stephen A. Douglas and endowed by John D. Rockefeller. It is designed after Gothic architecture of English Universities. The Northwestern University boasts of a gymna­ sium well known for its beauty and complete equipment.

Just southwest of the Loop lies the Ghetto, a very unique sec­ tion of Chicago, occupied by Russian Jews. It is a city by itself with a large open-air public market, where commodities of every sort, both new and second-hand, are sold. Here all meat producing animals are butchered according to strict Jewish principles.

The Union Stock Yards, the greatest live stock market in the world and Chicago’s most important commercial enterprise, is situ­ ated about four miles south of the Loop. The yards and factories are so complete an organization that they resemble a city in them­ selves ;and that section of Chicago has come to be known as Packingtown. It is worth a day's visit. Over 75,000 men are employed there, and the products have an ann.ual value of nearly a billion dollars. It covers one square mile and has about fifty meat packing： plants. Here is held annually during the first week of Decem­ ber, in the International Amphitheatre and about twenty adjoining buildings, the great International Live Stock Exposition, which is the Supreme Court of the animal kingdom.

All these points of interest may be seen almost any time of the year within certain specified hours, but in 1933 one will be able to see the most remarkable attractions in years. The citizens of Chicago have been planning this attraction for the last three years ami. still have three more years to complete their large task一pre­ paring- for the hundredth anniversary of their city’s birth, which they intend to do on a l)ig scale. To celebrate the hundredth anniversary of* Chicago was "their first intention. Hence the proposed 121

exposition was originally called “The Chicago World’s Fair Cen­ tennial Celebration of 1033.” In the short span of a century Chi­ cago has grown from a frontier settlement to the third largest city of the world, the second largest in the United States, and the heart of the nation. The promoters of this exposition realized that in the centuiy of Chicago’s existence the world has also made rapid progress in many fields: in education, in philosophy, in art, in law, and most of all, in science. Because Chicago is the second largest city in the United States, because the present center of population of the United States is 150 miles south of Chicago, the center of agriculture is 200 miles southwest of the city, and the center of in­ dustrial production is only 25 miles southeast, the promoters thought that it was no more than proper that the progress of the world in the last century ought to be shown in their city in connec­ tion with their birthday celebration. Hence the original name of the exposition has been changed from “The Chicago World’s Fair Centennial Celebration of 1933” to “A Century of Progress.”

The site of the fair will extend along the lake front from the Art Institute, just opposite the Loop, south to Jackson Park, the scene of the Worlds Columbian Exposition of 1893. Thus the length of the fair grounds will be about five miles. This location offers a collection of existing buildings which could not be repro­ duced for many millions of dollars elsewhere. It includes the for­ merly named Field Museum of Natural History, the Art Institute, the Soldiers Field Stadium, and also the water front and lagoons, which will be used to show the growth of water transportation from the first river boats and lake steamers to the most modern water­ craft. Many other beautiful buildings will be constructed of which the Transportation Building will be the most interesting, It will be three blocks long, and in it or near it or on the lake will be ex­ hibited the progress of the four phases in transportation : railway, highway, waterway, and airway. It is natural that Chicago takes most interest in this phase of progress, for it is without a doubt the heart of the nation; and all trains, automobiles, airships, and possibly in the near future, all water vessels will come from it and go to it. Chicago is like the hub of a large wheel and can justly be called the Hub City of the United States.

HE CAME BACK The Boss had gone home and Jones, the secretary, was still straightening up some accounts. Suddenly he heard footsteps in the hall and a key in the Boss’s office-door. Surely no one with an honest purpose could wish to see the Boss at this late hour; but 122

i

^

j

the Boss had been complaining of things missing from the office occasionally and so Jones opened his own door cautiously and peered out. It was Allan, the Boss’s son, who must evidently have come to get something for his father. But then this had happened so frequently—three times within a week now—and the boy seemed to act so stealthily, that Jones’ suspicions were aroused. Besides, Allan had always been a ne'er-do-well, a spoiled child, since he was of the family- Jones therefore decided to return the the only son ; following evening, place a five-dollar bill on the Boss’s desk as decoy, and await the outcome from a suitable place of concealment.

To be sure lie sincerely hoped that Allan might not be the culprit, on account of his hijjli regard for the Boss.

The Boss entered the office the next morning. He walked over to his desk and一 “Wliat, something missing- again ? This can’t go on. First my pen-knife, then money, and now a gold letter-knife; why I’ll be robbed of everything before T know it. By Jove, I’m going to put a stop to this thievery !M But who was the thief? Tn spite of himself the Boss began to suspect his secretary Jones, who possessed the only key to th它 office besides his own : and a key had evidently been used, for the lock was uninjured. P»ut Jones had served him faithfully for three years and it seemed almost impossible that he should be guilty of anything^ like this.

That evening after the Boss had gone home Jones placed a fivc-dollar bill on the Boss’s desk among some of the papers, but still in a conspicuous place. Then he stationed himself behind the safe. Sure enough, at the same time as the night before, he again heard stealthy footsteps in the hall and the key in the door. The door opened and in came Allan. He immediately went to the desk, for he knew that his father had a little cubby-hole under the top of the desk in which he kept his valuables. Looking over the papers scattered over the top of the desk, he espied the five-dollar bill among some papers. While in the act of taking this up, he saw something Jones had not seen—the Boss’s wallet, which he had evidently forgotten. Before he could take this, however, he was suddenly confronted by Jones. With a voice, angry and yet con­ taining also a note of pity, he addressed Allan. <4You, Allan! You’re the one that’s stealing the Boss’s property, you, his own son! You rascal, to use your father like that after all he’s done for you. If you had any conscience you certainly couldn't do such a contemptible, low-down thing as that. I’ll call the police and also notify your father immediately, though I ow it will add a nail to his coffin. But I’ve got to do it.“ Allan stood as one clazed. Finally he found his voice. With 123

tears in his eyes he said, “Oh please—don’t let Dad—and Mother一 find out about this. It’s positively never going to happen again.

I was a fool for doing it, but I had lost money by gambling—had borrowed here and there—and now I’ve got to settle up. So I thought this was my only chance, since I was ashamed to ask anybody for the money in an honest way. But T promise to quit gambling and everything, if you’ll only give me this one chance and not tell Dad. Please—oh please, Mr. 了ones.”

Jones hesitated between struggling emotions. To be sure, lie felt strongly that the hoy should be punished and that severely.

But on the other hand he loved the boy’s father and therefore he hated to tell him something that would hurt him as he knew this must. Finally his love and respect for the Boss gained the upper hand; then, too, Allan had aroused his sympathy to some extent.

So in a more calm and agreeable manner he said, “Here, you keep these five dollars and settle up. I promise not to say anything, for your father's sake more than for your own, if you^l promise to give up gambling and to lead a useful life.

But if I ever catch you at anything like this again—well I 'von’t be persuaded as easily as I was this time.”

“Oh, thank you ever so much, Mr. Jones, you don’t know how grateful I am. Here, I’ll give you my hand that Til lead a better life from now on.

Allan had gone. Jones again sat at his desk, musing. He had feared and almost expected this and now he wondered whether he had done the right thing.

“Perhaps I ought to tell the Boss anyway,” he thought, but I gave Allan my promise and that ends the matter. Well, I guess 1*11 go home; it’s getting late and Jane doesn’t like the idea of niv coming home so late.”

In about an hour Allan returned to the office. Jones had al­ ready gone home. “Hall fooled the old gent that time. As if let a chance like this slip when I’m so hard up. Oh, no! I didn't see that wallet for nothing. Lucky the old codger didn't see it.

AVell Til be easy on the old man this time (seeing; he always leaves his keys where I can get them)—I’ll only take 200 bucks. That's pretty nice of him to forget his wallet just when I need the dougli.

There, now I’ll show the boys who's got the money!” With these words he took $200 from the wallet and departed, locking the door behind him.

The Boss entered the office the next morning.. He saw the wallet on the desk.

• “Funny I should have forgotten my wallet last night. First time that ever happened, I guess. Well as long' as it is still here it’s all right.”

124

I

^

j

Opening the wallet, he found that $200 were missing. “What! $200 gone! That settles it. I’m going to stop this somehow.

Here comes Jones now. He has the only key besides my own, so I'll just question him a bit.”

Jones entered wishing him good morning.

“Good morning,said the Boss coldly, “perhaps you know that a considerable sum of money was stolen from my desk last night?”

“Who, me? How should I kno'v?” asked Jones with unfeigned surprise, **Surely you don't suspect me of taking it, do you?”

“Wiiy no, I only said perhaps you knew,” answered the Boss, sarcastically. “You have the only key besides my own. The locks on the windows and on the door are uninjured, so a key must have been used; so it seems a little peculiar.”

“You don’t mean to say that you doubt my honesty?M cried Jones.

“Well, no—that is, not exactly; but you can’t always be sure even of your closest friends,replied the Boss. * That’s as good as accusing me of doing it. Have I served you honestly these four years only to be distrusted and falsely ac­ cused in the end?’’ retorted Jones angrily. “I always thought you were fairminded and honorable, but I see I have been mistaken.

I realize this is no longer a place for me. You may get a new secretary, one whom you can trust more implicitly than you ever could me!’’

With these words Jones left. His former love and respect for the Boss, however, still prevented him from revealing what he knew about the boy; and he also remembered his promise to Allan, ’riicii, too, he could not lie certain that Allan bad stolen the money.

So lie left and said nothing of the incident of the night before. ”His resignation is almost as good as pleading guilty to the theft. And yet I can not have him arrested, for I really have noth: jug to prove him guilty. Hm! $200 gone, my secretary gone—.

The Boss was indeed troubled and perplexed. Jones had been the l>est secretary he had ever had, he could hardly hope ever to get a better one. It hurt him not a little to see Jones, who had always been perfectly honest in every way, depart as a suspected thief, but finally lie decided to turn the whole matter over to the police.

Seated at the supper-table that evening with his wife and AUan, tli.e Boss looked extremely careworn and broken in spirit. His 'vif.e anxiously asked .him what was the matter. He related the entire story, the theft, and the resignation of Jones. It had cer­ tainly not been easy to part with his secretary, as he had found out by this time. ^ow Allan had thought over the matter all day and had also considered Jones’ words. He still remembered well enough how 125

i： :

i

kind Jones had been to him and now his conscience tormented him.

He could hold himself no longer.

“Dad, I must talk with you alone,” lie said, after the meal had been finished. They both went to the Boss’s private room.

“Dad, I can’t deceive you any longer. It was I who took the money and the other things from your office. Oh, I，ve been lead­ ing such a wicked life—gambling, getting in debt, and stealing to pay the debts. But thanks to Jones I have resolved to change, to lead a decent life after this. He caught me in the office last night, yet he promised to keep still if I'd promise to reform. But I— — miserable fool that I was— I returned afterwards and took the $200. Oh, I don’t know if you'll ever—1)e—able—to forgive Dad, but一if you can一 He could say no more. The Boss, too, was deeply moved.

Words would not come—he could only utter a number of unintelligible sounds.

The next morning the Boss phoned Jones to come to the office immediately, since he must see him on urgent business. Jones came. That evening he went home happier than ever before; the Boss had made him his partner in business and Allan had turned over a new leaf.

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS Another complaint! With all other businesses our Black and Red is suffering from the economic depression; so it seems at least when one looks into our treasury. Yes, we have been barely able to pay our bills, and we're always in doubt as to whether we shall l)e able to pay the next one or not. I have spoken, argued with niyself and others as to how to reduce expenses, but to da that would no doubt mean the revamping of our entire book.

Would any one of 11s care to see the Black and Red come out in newspaper form or lose its cover? No! The situation can be remedied if every subscriber who is delinquent is willing to pay for his subscription up-to-date. Many have been prompt in their payments and we wish to extend our thanks to them, but a great majority are falling behind. We do not attribute this delinquency to pure neglect; there are probably other things that require one’s attention and one just lets the matter slip for the present.

Again we have had to cut off our mailing list a goodly number of subscribers and it really hurts one to see that one’s Alma Mater means so little to him after graduation that he cannot find reason enough to keep on subscribing to his college paper. Is it because one (16esn’t find enough of interest in its covers, that one doesn t know the students who are attending? The alumni column is prob­ ably at fault, but I am sure that if the Alumni would contribute ciat.e) that the periodical would be of more interest to them, their bit of news (which the editor of that column would appre127

WHO CAN DENY IT? What brought on the panic of 1930? What caused the slump in the stock markets, the closing down of hundreds of factories with the result that thousands were thrown out of work ? Why did so many banks lock their doors ? Was the drought the cause of it all ? Never. Some people put the blame on the government. the tariff law, or the eighteenth amendment. I believe the cause lies closer to us than that. Let us start at home and see what is wrong there.

In the daybook of the average family we find items similar to these: “We bought a new car, remodeled the house, took a trip to California, sent a son or a daughter to the university, traded in our old radio for a better one, and”一paid for much of it with prom­ issory notes. Isn’t it a fact that half of the new cars one sees every day do not in reality belong to the men who profess to own them 1 We Americans are living too high. We can’t bear to see our neigh­ bor enjoy something without having to enjoy the same thing and usually a little more. But when it comes to paying the bills, one can hardly meet his interest at the bank. It is no great wonder things are going on the rocks, no wonder that business is in a slump, that banks are being closed, if no one pays his bills.

Is there a remedy at hand for this evil ? Most certainly, If every one would purchase with his own money and not with that of the banker, if people would run their cars on gas instead of promissory notes, things would look different. Take the student and his “jelopy” for an example. He doesn’t buy a ^Model-T just to be collegiate, but because he can’t afford a better car: and yet he is more content than the man who is worrying about the next payment on his Cord, Lincoln, or Cadillac. Discard the in­ stallment plan, the promissory note, and the charge accounts. Don’t buy until you have the money to pay. Then you will find life much more pleasant and your pillow softer.

THE CHURCH AND THE STAGE In ancient Greece the drama was presented in vast municipal theatres, admission free, as a part of the function of the state. In 128

.medieval times the stage was known as the liandmaiclen of the church. In order to make the Bible teachings more vivid and im­ pressive the church itself began to present the chief episodes in the life of Christ in the form of little plays. These were at first pre­ sented to the people within the church, later on in front of the cluircli, and finally on the streets and public squares. And at pres­ ent the church takes a decided stand against the stage. Why this change ?

The theater of today is entirely estranged from the church. It is no more a form of worship as it was in centuries past, but it has rapidly broken clown to something quite different. The stage deals with the most powerful force in life, emotion, and for this reason it wields a mighty influence for good or evil. The influence of the stage is in many ways more far-reaching than that of the pulpit.

Where the preacher reaches his hundreds, the play reaches out to thousands. A play can be clean and yet be supremely interesting and exciting. But if the play is addicted to vice and its ideals low, it becomes a terrible agent for the destruction of religion, culture, and civilization. And there are many plays which are of this latter nature. Thev are simply bold panders to a public which likes plays which have sug.^estiveness of situation and therefore appeal to the seamy side of human nature. They are designed solely to Srive the public 'vhat it wants at all costs of truth and decencv.

Where now does the fundamental cause for these corrupt and corrupting： plays lie? Is it with the dramatist or the actor? Indee(! not. The dramatist cannot use his own sentiments and dis­ cretion when writing a play. He must forget entirely his sense of propriety if he wishes to be successful, and write what the peo­ ple will accept. The actors, to be successful, must lend themselves, their bodies and their immortal souls, to feed the morbid and j)erverse elements in luiman nature.

That is where the mischief lies. The people search for the vulgar, the lewd, and the immoral, and the dramatists because of their own financial interests, must satisfy them, even if nothing can be more discreditable to the drani.atic profession than the deliberate production of plays that are vile for the purpose of attracting audiences and making money.

If there is anything of value to the public in the play, and there is little doubt that there could be, it should be conserved and protected. The ravages of those who are exploiting the plays through presentations of vulgar problems should be stopped. This can attained only, however, if the public could be trusted to do what it should do, namely, stay away from unworthy plays. As a result the immoral plays would be cast aside by the managers, and the stage cleansed.

• But how many of our citizens would be willing to stay away iron】 lewd shows ? If their wrong were called to their attention, 129

1 how many would not either try to excuse themselves, or even in­ cline toward derision. To bring about that change of heart among the rabble which is necessary to banish immoral plays is utterly impossible, and for that reason the church should, and will continue to, stand in opposition to the stage.

Die Wolken fliehn, der Wind saust clurch die Blaetter, ein Wolkenschauer zieht durch Wald und Feld,—so sielit es geraclc draussen aus; um so besser kann man drinnen arbeiten.

Heute, am 7. Oktober, waren wir zum crsten Mai vollzaclig： versammelt. Herr Reich hat das Seminar auch noch gefunden.

Die erste Reihe im Klassenzimmer sielit l)einahe wie cine Bussreihe aus.

Im uebrigen haben wir uns jetzt auch schon eingerichtet. Jeden Freitag haben wir wieder unsere Predigtcn und, was letztes Jahr ausfallen musste, jeden Donnersta^ in dcr lctzten Stunde unscre Katechesen. Man muss manchmal staunen. wie (lie Schulkinder einmal siiperklug, dann im naechsten Au^cnblick kreuzdunim sind.

Deni armen Lehrer machen sie oft viel Hcrzeieid.

Wenn wir aus den Stunden kommen und uns ein wenig unterhalten wollen, so finden wir einen wirklich gemuetlichen Ort in unserm “Lounge.” Ein paar gutherzige Frauen haben dazu ffesehen, class wir genug gepolsterte Stuehle und Sofas, iiebst Lanipen bekommen, um mindestens die Haelfte cler Studcnten zu halten.

Sogar neue Gardinen haben wir an den Fenstern.

“Polo” koennen wir nun auch systematisch spielen. Herr Fritze hat einen Stundenplan gemachl.

Trotzdem wir es hier schoen haben, treibt es uns doch dann und wann zur Grossstadt. Der Erweckungsprediger Paul Rader liat waehrend seiner Woche in Milwaukee einige von uns angezogen. Herr Rader bedankte sich sogar bei vier Studenten, 'veil sie nach der Erweckung zu ihm kamen und ihm die Hand reichten.

Andere Herren wollten auch gerne etlichen juedischen Festen beiwohnen. Die Juden haben sich aber nicht um sie bekuenimert, sondern ihren Gottesdienst immer frueher oder spaeter gesetzt.

Zum Predigen muessen wir auch viel zur Grossstadt. Interessant ist das Rekow-Wagnersche Predigerpaar. Z'vei Sonntage arbeiten sie schon zusammen. Wer weiss, was noch draus 、Den Herm Lemke zog es sogar ueber den See nach Michigan.

Es zog ijin aber in den groessten Sturm des Herbstes hinein. Her Name seines Schiffes wurde sogar wegen Verspaetung1 nebers Radio 130

gehoert. Sam behauptet al)er, trotzdem es horribile dictu” war, waren er und zwei andere die einzigen, denen der Magen stand ha ft bliel). Ihm war die ganze Geschichte a1)er cloch nicht einerlei.

Herr Amacher vvollte neulich auf halber Fahrkarte von Mil­ waukee nach Thiensville fahren. Als aher der Schaffner ihn im Rancher (and und auf semen Kopf schaute, konnte er ihn trotz seiner zwei kaesehohen Gestalt nicht durchschluepfen lassen.

Stockfinstre Nacht, kaum class man die Hand vor sich sehen kann. Zwei junge Herren kommen durchs Nordtor. Eine ungelieure Gestalt sclileicht aus cl cm Graben hervor.—“No going further, stick ’em up!” Im Nu schossen die Haende hoch. Ploetzlich uebcrfaellt den dunklcn ricsigen Angreifer ein Schwanken und Wanken, er kann sicli nicht halten. Die zwei jungen Herren ueberfallen ihn. Auf sel1)igem Ort schwuren die Herren Franzmann und Wagner dem Herrn Maaske Rache.

ALOMNI —A few interesting1 news items concerning some of last year’s Arnold Gatz is still graduates have recently reached our ears. ___ looking for work. We fear lest he should go into politics to solve the unemployment question. Herman Pape is at present a repre­ sentative of the Herff-Jones Jewelry Company of Indianapolis. He visits his Alma Plater quite regularly over the week-ends. Elmer Koehler is at his old ^ame getting out ‘.football writeups” for a Detroit newspaper.

—Many alumni attended the game with the Milwaukee Normal School at Milwaukee. The seminary students were probably best represented. The Reverend Martin Buenger, ’21, of Caledonia, Wisconsin, and Gerharclt Buenger，ex ’29，of Kenosha, really de­ serve honorable mention, because they have attended nearly every game in the last few years. .~~On September twentieth occurred the wedding of the Reverend Walclemar Gieschen，’26, of Crivitz, Wisconsin, and Miss Dorothea Hahm of Milwaukee. Herman Gieschen, a brother to the groom, and Benjamin Hahm, a brother to the bride, both students at North­ western, acted as ushers. The Black and Red extends its best wishes to its former editor and his bride. 一 rhe Reverend Ralph Ganini，’24, who has been at the home of 131

his parents in Watertown while recovering from an illness, is now back at his charge in Faulkton; South Dakota. 一Mr. Clarence Nehring, com. ’26, from Racine visited some friends at Northwestern recently.

—The Reverend Paul Kirsch, *08, paid his Alma Mater and his classmates, the Professors Kowalke and Westerhaus, ft visit re­ cently. The Reverend Kirsch is at present full-time secretary of the United Lutheran Synod of New York with offices in New York City. The Rev.

The position on the I Mack and Red staff left vacant by Mr. Rowe's failing to return to school has been filled by the appointment of Mr. Dornfeld. Mr. Dornfcld will succeed Mr. Kaschinske as writer of the Humor column, whereas Mr. Kaschinske will take over the Exchange column, formerly so ably conducted by Mr. Rowe. The staff wishes its latest member joy and success in the fulfilling of his new duty.

On September 21 the band began its real activity by a trip to Burnett, where an outdoor concert was given in the afternoon. Rev. Boewcrs and the Ladies’ Aid deserve special mention for the de­ licious supper, which was certainly enjoyed to the fullest extent.

After playing1 several selections in the evening the band returned, thoroughly satisfied with the first trip of the season and looking forward to the next one. Disregarding the practical musical train­ ing and the personal enjoyment derived from band work, the trips ought surely to encourage new members to join, if for no other reason, than for the fun of such an outing ancl for the contact with people, which is really lacking to most students. The old members thereby become more accustomed to playing in public, learn to see the several weaknesses and faults in their performance more readily, and are thus spurred on to greater and more earnest effort.

Among the recent innovations (we could hardly say improvement!) on our campus is one that must surely strike the eye of all visitors and passers-by一the green Freshman cap. The Freshman cap is a contracted form of the cap ordinarily worn throughout civilized circles, being barely large enough to hang sate/ .on the pate of the Freshman. The little red button on the top of the cap is, though physically insignificant enough, the most importan p 133

oE the entire cap. For wherever there is a Frosh, there surely also And lurks a Sophomore with his imperious “Button, Frosh! immediately up comes the left arm of the hapless Frosh until the tip of the little finger touches the little red button. But that is not the only worry of the average Fre$liman. I'here are also the smoking-room initiations to be considered : and judging from the facial expressions of the victims before and after the ordeal, the initiations are no mean item of worry and distress either for a Freshman. But that's all a part of our college life and only serves to add a little color to our otherwise quid and refined existence.

The exchange—school papers from colleges and high schools all over the country and—a new editor. Patience, readers.

The “Calvin Chimes” of September 19 states the reasons why the students of Calvin College changed over to a bi-weekly in news­ paper form from a monthly publication in pamphlet form—we quote a section. :‘I take it former Chimes productions have been formidable looking affairs. *** uAnyhow the students have for several years been decrying the Chimes because it was too stiff, formal, in style stilted and in subject matter a parade of abstractions.”

The Exchange offers a wonderful chance to compare our own Black and Red with the publications of other schools. Now many of the things said above of the old “Calvin Chimes” can also be applied to the Black and Red. Our paper lacks that intimate con134

tact with the life of the students which we find is the characteristic of most other school papers. The Black and Red does not repre­ sent life as it is at Northwestern. Perhaps one reason for this is that we publish a monthly, which cannot have the contact with student life that a weekly or bi-weekly has.

By this I do not mean that we should discard our present method absolutely and follow other publications to the letter, for there are many good qualities in the Black and Red, which should not be sacrificed. But a college paper must at least hold the in­ terest of the students and that interest is lacking- to a great extent among us. The business manager complains that many students <1» not call for the Black and Red for several days and even a week or more after it is published. Would this be possible if there were a strong interest among the students ? I think that more origi­ nality and. less encyclopedic work in the contributions and more freshness and liveliness in the columns would go a long way toward creating interest.

In the *,Augustana Observer \ve find a column headed “Student Opinion.” Here tlic views of the students concerning affairs at their school arc published. Again let us turn to Northwestern.

What is the procedure among us? A small group of students assemblcs in sonie room of the dormitory and there this or that practice is discussed vehemently. This procedure benefits no one.

The October 4 issue of the “Old Gold and Black” asks students to leave their conceit at home and to practice respect and courtesy, advice applicable to ;mv student bodv.

The “Mooring Mast" of September 26 gives a few comments on the purpose of education in an article entitled “A College Edu­ cation wc quote: ''Acquisition of knowledge in itself is not regarded as the only important element. The developnient of an independent viewpoint and of logical thinking is being; stressed as well as ability to assume responsibility.”

In an article entitled “Why (lo I come” the editor of the "Red and White” of September states why this paper is published. The publishers of the “Red and White” must be complimented on their efforts to improve their paper.

The former procedure in regard to the exchange papers will he continued. From the date of writing of the column until the (lay of publication of the Black and Red all the papers will be in the Reading room, thereafter only those especially quoted here.

According to the “Milton College Review” of October 3, the Black and Red is not as yet exactly on the rocks. In an article called a good job” they praise our publication highly. Thank you.

The」“College Chips” is always very well written. In it we mention especially “Mooditations.” "I've Been Reading’’ and "Saw135

Beloit 12; Northwestern 6 On September 27, in a thrilling contest. Northwestern dropped its second grid till to Beloit. Beloit scored a touchdown in the first period after recovering a Northwestern fumble. The second period was a see-saw contest in which Beloit showed a slight superiority in aggressiveness.

In the third period, however, the tide turned. The inspired Northwestern forwards, fighting with the desperation of under­ dogs, loomed strong and completely outclassed Beloit. Snaring' a Beloit pass on the 50-yard line the Northwestern aggregation marched down the field for a touchdown. Buenger’s try for extra point was wide. The game was featured by the flash of Stuhr, ace of the Black and Red’s attack, who uncurled himself in several sen­ sational runs, twisting his way through the Beloit secondary cletense for large gains.

Several passes completed at the beginning of the fourth period • to Capt. Stipe, lanky Beloit end who possessed uncanny ability at spearing passes, paved the way for Beloit's second touchdown, At the game's most spirited point Northwestern^ attack was battled to a standstill \v ithin the shadow of the Beloit goal-posts, when four successive thumps at the line were smothered by the Beloit forward wall. Northwestern's last frantic attempt to score released a flurry of passes in the dying moments of the game, which failed, however, to advance the ball beyond the 15-yard stripe.

There seems to be a consensus of opinion among the spectators who were standing near the goal when Beloit’s second touch137

Milwaukee State Teachers 25; Northwestern 6 After battling the Milwaukee Slate Teachers, eleven to n stand­ still during the first two periods of the game, a smarting defeat was inflicted on the Northwestern gridders October 4, (luring' the last two periods, when their defense crumbled before the Teacher’s attack.

Early in the second half the Black and Red’s defense, which had been worn down by the Teacher's reserve strength in the first two periods when the forward wall stood its ground nobly and twice stemmed the onset of the Normalites within the shadow of their own goal-posts, cracked and allowed Gerboth, giant tackle, to crash through to block a punt behind the goal-line, Hoschild fell on the ball for the Teachers’ first touchdown.

This blow changed the whole complexion of the game and demoralized the Northwestern eleven. Profiting by the many miscues of the Black and Red backs the Teachers’ offensive machine was soon brought under way, which rolled up three touchdowns in quick succession.

Sensational runs and smashes of Van Slate, Schroeder, and Gother behind a sweeping interference featured. During the ebbing min­ utes of the game Northwestern staged a comeback, an aerial attack that netted a touchdown, E. Schewe completing a long pass to Stuhr. Heyn played outstandingly at end on defense and snared several tosses for gains.

The Teachers are to be complimented on the compact, sweeping interference that the Milwaukee backs formed for their runner.

We now understand why “Slim” and Amos arc not out for foot­ ball. Can they eat? Und das wie!

Teske came back from a hike the other day, wearing a smile from ear to car. He had picked a bag of hickory nuts. When he began to eat them and found thirteen out of fourteen rotten, the smile disappeared and he decided to go downtown and buy himself a bag of salted peanuts. “I’ll at least not get roped in 1)y the goodly outside,” said he.— —By experience we learn, David.

What's the significance of all these green caps on the campus ?

They are a sign of distinction. The idea seems to dale back to the time of Louis XIV of France. During his reign a law was passed compelling all bankrupt Jews to wear a green cap, so that the people might know with whom they bad to deal. Today it seems to be applied to a mental rather than financial state. By their caps ye shall know them!

Locals? What's that?—Oh! Now let's see.—Let me think.”

Another stretches himself and rubs his eyes: “Locals! Haw, haw! nie.tell one.” The next strokes his future b.earcl and strikes J1 Philosophical attitude: “Well，now, I saw the sign on the bulletin board and I thought I had something for you.

cries.—Still another: “Say，why don't you come around at night?

I can’t think so early in the morning".” And still another: “Wliat?

You here again ? Why, you just came around a few days ago.

(Chews fingernails awhile) Isn’t it funny? Last night I had a half dozen tilings to tell you. Now my mind is a blank.” Last but not least is the indifferent lad who, bent over his book, resting his head in his hands, would nol make a move if Hoover stepped into the room, Why should he bother about a local in the Black and Red. Time lost is never regained! _ There you are! Does that put one in a mood to write? Yes, to write death warrants, perhaps. Let’s co-operate.

1 THE BLACK AND RED Volume XXXIV.

Watertown, Wis., Noy. 1930

Number 6

Entered at the PostoflTice at Wntcrtown Wis , as second class matter under Act of March 3, 1879. Published :monthly. Subscription, One Dollar.

ULTIMA VICTORIA! “No'v gentlemen, my proposal is this: let us disarm as com­ pletely as possible; let us keep only such equipment as will be nec­ essary for defense. As for Italy, she has now only forty-six thous­ and men under arms, thirty-two submarines, and eighteen battle­ ships. I f the council considers such an amount more than sufficient for defense purposes, we Italians, for the sake of universal peace, will gladly diminish our forces still more.”

Signor Tuscagni sat clown. The eyes of all the conference members met each other in approval. The various armaments were in a short time decided upon; and not a single conferee ob­ jected to the status his country was to maintain. .

Away from the table at which the men sat, in a corner of the assembly chamber, the Associated Press reporter put down his notebook, and began to reflect on the unanimous desire for uni­ versal peace. 、 ■ “Look dt their faces,” he mused; “any o〒e can see that there is no selfish love of country in them. There is no hatred on their countenances, no—’’ 145

The voice of the English foreign minister was interrupting.

“My dear fellow-Christians, it truly saddens my heart to read of the poisonous slander of some newspapers, who would destroy the faith the people have in our sincere attempts to bring the world still closer to the Millenium. Imagine! Here the London Ex­ press declares in shameless letters that some of us are hypocritical in our peace work!”

An indignant crunch of his newspaper followed his remark.

The eyes of the representatives blazed in righteous resentment, and ejaculations begsan to snap forth from their lips. In the corner the reporter gritt ed his teeth.

The honorable name of the Associated Press shall not be dc—” famed by such conduct! I’ll see to it that— A sudden calm in the room stopped his mind-niuttcrings. The French envoy had risen and snapped for silence. His impatient frown and glistening eyes were demanding1 attention.

“Brothers, my heart is expanding with love. Yet I fear/* he sighed, “that in it there is only small evidence of love. In the past few days I was trying hard to think of an act that might be another link in the chain of love that binds us all in peace. Finally I found one. Now, of course, I love the German as I love my countryman.

Now there is no German, no Frenchman. Now there is only the World-man. But shall our love be found only in words ? Shall honey ooze from my lips, while gall brews in my heart ? To show some slight proof of love, I now propose to return Alsace-Lorraine to her rightful owners, the Germans.”

The eyes of the statesmen brightened in mild surprise. They knew Guieronne to be a sincere Christian, but such Christ-like un­ selfishness they hadn’t expected. Behind the comments now jump­ ing back and forth across the table the reporter gazed on the countenance of Guieronne. What did that face remind him of?一O yes! Another face flashed across his mind—a face on which was painted love, compassion, faithfulness—the face of St. Francis of—” “No, brother Guieronne, that cannot be,” protested Von Mohrhausen, the German conferee. “In the first place, Alsace-Lorraine does not belong to Germany; this I can prove by many documents.

Moreover, even if it were so, do you think that I or my countrymen would allow it? Indeed!”

“But, but, you are wrong, my dear Sir!” The Frenchman's ——— face .had fallen at the thought of having his offer rejected. r“According to all authentic records, Alsace-Lorraine is the rightful Pepperty of Germany; and all the brothers present will substantiate In denial von Mohrhausen raised both hands. He was about to resume the argument, when the pleasant odor from the words of Korzikoff, the chairman, began to absorb the irritating gases 146

expanding between the Frenchman and the German, until agreeable air had again permeated the room. The subject of AlsaceLorraine was set aside to be decided upon later. Now the chair­ man began to address the council.

“How my heart rejoices, fellow-workers, for the cause of world peace, as my eyes revel on your Christian countenances! I thank my God on your behalf. What a difference between this conference and one in Vienna some luinclred thirty years ago! The activating spirit of that one was a desire for revenge, personal glory, sclfishness, hatred, love for country. This one is controlled by a spirit of forgiveness, humility, unselfishness, love for the world V' He paused. The eyelids round the table opened more widely to the thrill of his words. In the corner of the chamber the re­ porter’s pencil pressed on his chin, while his mind, too, was being tightened by the voice of the Russian. “I thank my God—’’ Were those not the very words of St. Paul, when he praised the Corinth­ ians for their faith ? As the reporter’s mind carried him back to that, ancient day, his eyes began to center intently for some seconds on the face of one conferee, and then deliberately to shift to that of the next. What sincerity, what kindness, what love radiated from them! From one lo the other his eyes gazed until they were stopped dead by the flushed cheeks and the shifting eyes of the Spanish ambassador. Was he perhaps more deeply impressed?

No, it could not be that. Now a note of suspicion was telegraphed back to the mind of the reporter. Hm ! Could it be possible that— . , The meeting was being ad­ But now the cheeks went up. journed. Yet for several moments the correspondent’s eyes remained riveted on the Spaniard, till the interference of the jarring chairs on the former’s mind cut the connection. He roused himself, packed his instruments, and departed.

Some hours later, while passing a chamber in the Peace Build­ ing, he was suddenly arrested by a succession of choking sobs and cries. They spurted from the throat of the Spaniard.

“Miserable!—Damnable! While goodness lightened their faces，treachery—treachery was masked on mine! Spain was to li^ve eighty thousand men, I—I had secretly planned to increase the army to one hundred fifty thousand.------ But it is not too late!

—I will see the priest tonight! I will repent of this miserable sin!

—I will do more! I will confess before all my colleagues! I %vill proclaim it before my people at Madrid! I will resign my office, too honorable a position to be held by such a —’’ . ” “James，will you get up! You’ll be late at the office again!”

THE RAJAH AND THE PIECE OF GREEN JADE Rajah Mahfier was in a great rage and he had a right to be， for his green jade charm had been stolen. 4<Ancl the villain cut my necklace to get it,” he muttered, “and came into my bedcham­ ber, violating its sanctity with his vile presence, while I slept. Oh, my revenge shall be terrible! I will destroy and crush my enemy.”

He could hardly control himself in his fury.

While still at the height of his passion, he summoned sevenand-twenty of his trusted men-servants to accompany him to the temple of Brahma. There in the incense-filled interior, before the eyes of the terrified high-priest, he made his men swear ing oath. “If I somewhere, someliow, or at some time ever be­ come a traitor to the rajah, may the Evil One take and punish my soul and body in all eternity.” After all had sworn this terrible oath, he sent each of his underlings forth to spy upon one of his enemies. They went.

A rajah when enraged is more terrible than «"i beast.. Rajah Mahfier was no exception. The five days that followed before one of the spies returned were horrible days for the prince’s household.

The prince fell from one fit of rage into another, not because of the great value of the jewel stolen, but because lie believed that it was enchanted and would protect him from death.

After these five days of Gloom, one of the servants returned and reported that Rajah Dowtas had stolen the amulet. Rajah Dowtas was Rajah Mahfier’s worst enemy and was not exactly easy to cope with. But Rajah Mahfier was by no means a fool. When it came to outwitting his dearest enemy, he W«"IS ready for anything： from robbery to murder.

Not more than three hours later three disguised men with dark forebidding faces left the city gate. They traveled south, choosing the least frequented mud roads, to Agra, where Rajah Dowtas resided. On the way they perfected their plans, and they were good ones. After two days of traveling over rough roads, they reached Agra and prepared to carry out their designs. The eldest of the three went to visit Do'vtas，but soon enough returned to his attend­ ants with the news that the rajah, having been informed of their coming, had secretly fled from Agra that very morning with the piece of green jade in his possession. Whereto no one knew, except that he had gone south.

Yet they were not dispirited, they had their bag full of tricks.

They learned from one of the rajah’s spies, that Dowtas was headed for Allahabad in a roundabout way. The three also went there.

It is customary in some parts of India that whenever a wan­ derer—a holy man—comes into a city, he immediately joins the priesthood of one of the many temples. This the three travelers 148

knew and, therefore, posing as holy men, they attached themselves to the largest temple in Allahabad, especially since they knew that Rajah Dowtas, who was a superstitious person, visited the temples frequently. The older of- the three became a soothsayer in the sanctuary and the two younger men went out on the streets as beggars connected with the temple.

Some days later the rajah arrived at Allahabad. On the third day after his arrival, as he was walking along the muddy street, flanked on either side by low vermin-filled huts, he passed one of the beggars and bestowed a coin upon him. The beggar then ad­ dressed him, “Favored of Buddha, I see that you are greatly trou­ bled. Go to the chief temple of the Brahmins and have your for­ tune told. It always is fulfilled.”

The rajah, driven by curiosity and anxiety to know his future, did as he was directed. He entered the west portal of the temple, and opposite him sat a fortune teller dressed in all his finery, which included a huge ugly mask representing the face of the devil. There were two large, smoking- incense-burners on either side of the for­ tune-teller and priest: Rajah Dowtas approached him and said, “Priest, I want my fortune tokl.” The priest looked at him steadily for a long time and then said, “Rajali, you have been, you are, and you will be in great danger. Your evil genius is jade. Your worst enemy will struggle with you within three days. Be prepared!

Confide in me!” Thereupon the priest retired.

The prince paled at this answer and stood speechless for a few moments, regained his composure, however, and left. “So, Rajah Mahfier will be here in three days ? Well, I will be prepared. Yes, that I will be! Let him come! But did not the priest say that I should confide in him? To me he seems to be trustworthy. I think that he is to be trusted as much as any one else. But yet. one can not tell. I will keep an eye on him,” mumbled Dowtas to him­ self.

The next day and the following the rajah spent loitering unroncemedlv, as it seemed, about the temple, but keeping an eye on tl?e soothsayer, watching how he dealt with others. When the eve­ ning of the second day came, he was satisfied that the priest could be relied upon.

On the following morning—the morning of the day upon which, according to the fortune teller, he would meet his foe— Dowtas came to the priest, who already was prepared for the early m?rn$g rituals, and began conversing with him. “Finally,” lie said, “I have planned how to dispose of my enemy. Will you aid n^e?” The priest consented, and the prince continued, “I stole a piece of jade from Rajah Mahfier, my mortal enemy. He is hotly pursuing me; and if I am caught with the jade, I shall surely die.

Therefore, take the jade! I will give myself lip to the rajah, but 149

^

j

he will release me, because I have not the jade. After that I will return to claim it from you.”

“Fine! But how much will I get for my pains?” much gold as fills your cap. Does that “I will give you satisfy you?”

“It does.”

They had come to an agreement. The rajah gave the piece of jade to the priest, and filled his cap full of gold. Then the priest arose as if to clench the agreement by incantations. He addressed the rajah. “Rajah Dowtas, you scoundrel, your fate has been decided.” With these words he discarded his mask. It was Rajah Mahfier. Rajah Dowtas, thunder-struck by this apparition, swooned and awoke a raving maniac.

Rajah Mahfier had recovered his green jade charm and avenged the wrong done to himself.

MILWAUKEE Fifty miles to the east of us lies a metropolis, a beautiful city, a place of great civic pride, Milwaukee. There are many who enter and depart from this “Miami of the Lakes” without gaining the slightest knowledge of Milwaukee as a city. To those is this article dedicated.

Important already as an Indian village, Milwaukee was known for its climate and scenery. Today these are still two elements which contribute greatly to its renown. Instead of the natural woods which hemmed in Milwaukee in those days, at present, we have parks, numerous and more beautiful, than one would think possible. As for climate, well, it，s cool in summer and mild in win­ ter, what more could one ask.

However, Milwaukee’s fame does not rest entirely with its parks and its climate. Far more important to the stability of any city are its industires. Milwaukee has these and in great abundance. Anything and everything is made in some shape or form in Milwaukee. From the lowly “hot dog.” to the mightiest Diesel engine, Milwaukee leads the world. Besides the two manufactures already mentioned, Milwaukee is at the head of the nation in the manufacture of many necessities and luxuries, such as excavators, tinware, cranes, electrical controls, toilet soap, outboard motors, tractors, silk hosiery, stoves and furnaces, playground equipment and motorcycles. Milwaukee is known as one of the leading in­ dustrial centers of the country. In 1928 it was given eighth place among cities of this type.

Not the least item that contributes to Milwaukee’s far spread 150

fame is the fact that it is known as a convention city. Outside of a few cities which greatly surpass it in population, Milwaukee entertains more conventions than any other city in the Union. The m etropolis of Wisconsin is well equipped for such gatherings. The most important part of this equipment is the Milwaukee auditorium.

Here, under one roof there are six meeting halls seating from 300 to 8,000 persons, and a total exhibit space of 105,000 square feet. The employees of the auditorium are expert in every phase of conven­ tion and exhibition arrangements. The building is located in the center of the hotel and theatre district and, without question, is one of the most complete and serviceable buildings of its kind in Amer­ ica. The hotels which a city possesses are also very necessary for a successful convention. Milwaukee has twenty-nine prominent hotels located in the heart of the city or in the beautiful residential sections lying a bit to the northeast. These hotels have a total of over 5000 rooms and apartments. The theatres and vaudeville houses also offer a good chance for the delegate or guest to spend an enjoyable afternoon.

Civic pride has been one of the main points in Milwaukee’s suecess. Outside of the beauty of the parks the city has placed spe­ cial attractions in two of them. InMitchell Park is located the city conservatory. Here, throughout the year, flowers are in bloom.

Once a year an exhibit is held. All the flowers shown then are products of the efforts of Milwaukee’s horticulturists. Strange blossoms from Africa and rare buds from Alaska, may be studied side by side, wonderful to view.

Milwaukee also boasts a zoo. This is located in Washington Park. It is one of the largest in the country. Animals are kept there in their natural habitat. The mighty lion paces his cage next to the phlegmatic hippopotamus and the eagle and pelican get along famously in the same cage. Two of the principal attractions here are monkey-island and goat-mountain. Monkey-island is a source of everlasting delight to both children and adults. Goat-mountain is an innovation at the zoo that was but lately completed. These serious mountain goats may be seen posing in the most statuesque manner. As if made of stone they do not move a muscle. The kodak-maniacs are continually seen trying to snap them in some new pose.

When one mentions art, Milwaukee must not be forgotten.

The city boasts two art institutes where traveling exhibits of paintings and sculptures may be seen. At one of these, educational lectures on art are' given periodically and at the other, an institute founded by public spirited citizens, artists in the making and artists of fame mingle. .Among the large buildings of the city is that one which con­ tains the Milwaukee Public Museum and the Public Library. But 151

it is not the size of the building which makes the museum nation­ ally famous. Milwaukee’s museum is the largest municipally owned and managed museum in the United States. It is especially famous for its early American characterizations. The history and indus­ tries of the United States may be followed by means of life-like groups and arrangements. Special floors and sections of floors are devoted to the various groups. At the present time many of the large groups are being removed and are being replaced by miniatures. This saves space and tends to give the museum a more com­ pact system. The Public Library which is, as mentioned before, ill the same building with the Museum is very comprehensive. It contains 680,000 volumes which offer the -student great chance for research and study.

Marquette University, Milwaukee Downer College, and Con­ cordia College are the three principal schools of higher education located in the city. Their total enrollment nears the 6,000 mark.

There are also an extension of the state university and a state teach­ ers* college within Milwaukee’s limits. The public school system is very complete. There are sufficient high schools and grade schools to take care of Milwaukee’s youngsters.

As far as recreational facilities are concerned Milwaukeeans and those visiting Milwaukee need have no worry. Every park contains baseball diamonds and football gridirons and a few have golf links. However, the golfing fans need not feel slighted, for in • the immediate district surrounding Milwaukee there are suffi­ cient golf courses, both private and public, to make everybody happy. Swimming also is handy, since Milwaukee has one of the finest harbors on the great lakes and keeps some very fine bathing beaches in wonderful order. For those who do not enjoy the re­ freshingly cool water of the lake, there is always the Milwaukee River. Several smaller lakes also lie in the near vicinity of Milwaukee.

Is it all not very tempting? Well, the Cream City invites you.

WHAT’S ON A FACE? This article does not treat of artificial color or the like, thus it will probably interest even those who are growing whiskers on the installment plan (a little down each week). Be sure to under­ stand us, however, this is not to be a hair-raising lesson, We are only going to give the men a break since heretofore only the physi­ ognomy of the woman has been a subject of discussion. , Let us start with the ancient civilizations who cultivated the 152

I first sprouts of a beard-raising generation; in those days a beard was considered by almost all nations as a sign of strength and an ornament of manhood, and it was carefully cherished and even regard­ ed as sacred. And then the razor was invented! The Egyptians were perhaps the first to resort to a razor as an instrument of torture; very likely the Assyrians, after having conquered the Egyptians, carried the razor off as booty of war and used it very much like most of our present day tonsorial artists, only it was called flaying in those days.

The Hebrews certainly became acquainted with it during their stay in Egypt, because we find that shaving the beard was strictly forbidden in the Lcvitical Code. Shaving is also mentioned in 2 Sam. 10, and Ezekiel 5, 1. The Hebrew used a scissors to trim his beard and neglected it only > a sign of mourning. Up to the present day Orthodox Jews are forbidden to shave, cut their nails or bathe for 30 days after the death of an immediate relative, To have the beard removed was regarded a severe punishment among1 the Turks, Arabs, and Persians. The Turks are still very sensitive as to the appearance of their beards. The Arabs and Per­ sians dyed theirs: the Arabs dyeing them red, a color made from a paste of henna leaves (we still have traces of such a color—look about you). This color was recommended 1)y Mohammed, who hated black because it was the color especially prized by the elite Persians. The Persian kings went one step further, interweaving their beards with gold thread (Look at the mug of Darius III).

Razors are also alluded to by Homer, which brings us to the conclusion that the Greeks too must have had beards. Now let’s hear from the Greeks! Beards were worn in Greece until Alex­ ander the Great’s time, wlien that illustrious general ordered every soldier to have his face scraped so that the Persians would not be able to subdue them by laying hold of their beards. Oh, yes, even Socrates spent his spare time, which was practically the entire day, in the barber shops of Athens.

Shaving was introduced in Rome about 300 B. C. The first day that a Roman youth shaved was a day of great festivity, a sign that he was entering upon manhood (dedicated to those who still have hopes). Pliny says that Scipio Africanus was the first Roman to shave daily, but he didn't state whether they were his courting days or not.

Beards were worn in France till the time of Louis XIII, when the courtiers in order to flatter the still youthful and beardless .king shaved them off. Later, however, they came back into style.

Here’s where one first hears of wearing： the beard as a matter of fashion.

After the Norman Conquest of England the Normans forced the Anglo-Saxons to shave. As this was a disagreeable task to 153

them, many left the country rather than undergo such punishment.

The custom, as in France, returned however since we see portraits of Edward II and Henry VIII heavily endowed with them.

Until 1849 the beard was recognized in some governments as a sign of democratic sentiment. In order to avoid this misconcep­ tion, part of the beard was cut away (that depended of course where the least growth was found on the individual’s face—pardon the observation) and only the separate parts were left, the goatee, the sideburns, and the far-famed mustache, now ludicrously termed cookie-duster, soup-strainer, misplaced-eyebrow and the like, de­ pending of course on the shape, size and position which it so prominently occupies. Up until just a short time ago man has been content with the straight-edge razor, but now that Gillette has in­ vented the safety razor, which makes it safer to cut one’s self, he has passed it on to the negro, who uses it as a formidable weapon.

So much for beards, the job was a ticklish one.

CHEERING AND JEERING Contestants are good sportsmen, yet on the sidelines we have much unwarranted disturbance. Cheering, united and individual, has its merits but jeering is entirely out of plaje*. The worst . fform oi so-called “razzing” is that directed at an official who »s retereeing or umpiring the game. These men have been chosen to w these games because of their knowledge of the rules of play, tically all of them have played the game in their clay. :ey what it is to be out on the field or floor, trying to snatch vi y from almost certain defeat. Furthermore the officials are 3. w y at the place of play and what two good human eyes are aD e ’ theirs see. Yet when they call a foul on one of the^ ^aY°ri e P ^ ers a “boo” arises from the “grandstand umpires.

I hey know for certain that no man was offside or that no man had in en 1 ally or unintentionally used his hands. Why, ^7. 'ye.re , there, only one or two hundred feet away, rhat official is c ing, he’s a robber, where did he ever learn the game, he ought to go back where he canie from (and here usually some remark is made which suggests that the official is a fit patient for some a y lum for the demented). Yes, we must admit, it is wonderful, this .thing called vision. With eyesight like that, these roo ers (.； ought to be astrologers, they could get along fine without a scope.

155

Another bit of abominable conduct on the sidelines is the **booing” of a player on the opposing team. Let a certain member of the rival squad be spotted for one small misdemeanor and the home 'crowd will be “oil his neck” for the remainder of the game. If he is of the gentle type his spirit will be broken and he will not be able to give his best,, but if he is more sturdy he will be provoked to anger and in his wrath he is likely to injure one of your team or himself by his vicious playing. In either case the game is spoiled for both the onlookers and the players. Ill-feeling is en­ gendered not only in the abused player but in the entire opposing team as well. Visiting spectators also leave a game of this kind with a bad impression of the school, and any number of good reports is not sufficient to re-establish it in their good graces, We should all say with Thackeray: Go, lose or conquer as you can; But if you fail, or if you rise, Be each, pray God, a gentleman.

THE IDLE HOUR One defect seems to exist in the present schedule here at North­ western. This is the free period immediately after dinner from one to ten minutes after two o’clock. Although it may have some ad­ vantages, it seems as if these are far outweighed by its disadvant­ ages.

The greatest disadvantage is that for most students it is but an hour of wasted time. There is not enough time between dinner and the afternoon class for a person to use it for taking exercise, if he wishes to take some real exercise. Besides, no one would wish to exercise his body on a full stomach.

Neither is it a very suitable period for rest. There is usually too much noise in the halls or rooms to permit a person to go to sleep. And if one does fall asleep, there is always the danger of not、yaking up in time for the afternoon class. Moreover, after sleeping for about an hour, one’s mind is bound to be rather dull, and cannot so easily be aroused from its lethargy. The result is that a person remains drowsy during the whole afternoon class.

Some students may use this period to prepare their lessons for the afternoon class, but most people have not enough will-power concentrate on their studies directly after a meal. If some study­ ing" is done during this hour, it is usually done in a half-hearted manner. " As I do not belong to any of the musical organ:izations, which have practice during this period, it is impossible for me to express 156

the view-point of members of these organizations. But on account of haying practice during this hour, students often come late to the afternoon class, which is always a drawback for their profes­ sors and their fellow-students. If the afternoon class began about half an hour earlier, these organizations could have their practice after the class without disturbing it.

Few students put that hour after dinner to any good use. Most of them go into the reading room and spend about fifteen minutes running through the newspapers. They spend the remaining time before class in loafing and getting their minds into a drowsy cond it ion that remains during the entire afternoon period. If the class began half an hour sooner, the chance of becoming drowsy would be lessened, less time would be wasted before class, and more time would remain after class for a person to devote himself to other things.

FOOTBALL AT NORTHWESTERN What really is the matter with our football team ? We have won only two games in the last four years. In 1927 we won from Lake Forest 12 to 6, and this year we won from Milton 54 to 6. .Those were big events for us, as every football victory under the circum­ stances is like to be. Last year our opponents obtained 145 points to our 19, and this year they had 148 to our 72. Why did our squad lose almost every game by such large scores, and why does it seem a natural course of events that we should lose? I have heard a goodly number of people throw “slams” and unpleasant remarks at our football defeats. The people that made these remarks did not understand the circumstances under which we are playing, for after it was explained to them why we were defeated so often and so decisively, they agreed with me. To make clear the reasons for our defeats to people laboring under a misunderstanding1 is the object of this article. Without a doubt there is something wrong with the team. Here and there our team has shown remarkable ability, but many times they were entirely outplayed.

As one looks into the past four years, neither players nor coach can be entirely blamed. Two and three years ago we had wonderful material一strong, sturdy, athletic men that would please any but it was coach. That is, the quality of the material was good, _ certain that we iacked quantity or reserves. In a number of games our squad battled with the opposing team on even terms, during the firs.t half. Then the opposing team would put in their reserves, which meant renewed energy for them in the brunt of the fight.

157

But where were our reserves ? We had men sitting on the benches that outwardly looked as good as the first team, but those reserves lacked actual experience.

The lack of experience is the main reason for all our defeats.

A comparison with other colleges will readily prove this. Every college that we play against, with the exception of one, has a much larger enrollment than we and has a large number of high school stars that have had three or four years of football experience be­ fore their entry into college. Naturally they should have many more men to draw from and enough to form three or four squads.

This gives them plenty of reserves, while we have hardly enough men for two teams; sometimes our players could not scriinmage, because they lacked men. One game was played this fall with only five backfielcl men, due to injuries of the others. With these few men the coach, fighting against all oclds, should put out a winning team! Most of our opponents get high school stars that know the game thoroughly before they enter college, while all of our players come from our “prep” schools, where, with one ex­ ception, no football is played. Only about four years ago football was introduced in the Northwestern Preparatory Department, and just this fall it was introduced at D. M。亡.C, of New Ulm, Minne­ sota, where a large percentage of our present and past football players came from. Last year one of the Freshmen, who had seen very little of football before his entry here, practiced with the varsity team. He showed such remarkable ability in practice that he went along with the squad for its first game away from home. What couldn’t he have done, if he had had experience ? Now, why can't a coach develop a winning team out of such material ? In the first place he loses much time in showing .these recruits the fundamen­ tals of the game, and then it requires almost two seasons before they have proved to the coach that they know at least the funda­ mentals thoroughly enough, so that he can place them in a game.

In the Junior year the former recruits may show a little football ability, and in the Senior year they will be just about where they should have been four years before.

Another reason for our defeats is the lack of coaching. Foot­ ball is a very intricate game and has many difficult technics that require several seasons to be mastered. Showing the recruits these technics, as well as coaching the first-string men, is too much for one coach. Many times the best of the first-string men were called upon to coach the newcomers as well as they could, instead of receiving more thorough coaching themselves. This fall the squad received the aid of a line coach, Dr. Craine. This allowed both coaches more time to work on a fewer number of men. Thus more thorough coaching was possible, which has shown itself remark­ ably. After analyzing l)oth opponents and us, one can readily see 158

t

^ 3rlth j

that in a way we have college material, but in experience, which is just as essential as material, we stand no higher than the average high school.

Now, some one may say, “Ah, that’s just an alibi. If they had experienced men, they wouldn’t clo any better.” In basketball we play the same colleges that we do in football, but what a contrast there is in the number of victories. Two years ago our opponents had 360 points to our 348, and we won six games out of fourteen.

Last year our opponents had 402 points to our 484, and we won eleven games out of sixteen—two of the defeats being by very close scores. In this field we stand on even terms with the other colle at least in experience. for the future, it will be difficult to say what our football squads will do. The outlook for the next few years is the same as it has been in the past. What our teams will do in the next four or five years depends upon the training, coaching, and experience the “preps” in our different academies get, before they enter college.

The Northwestern Preps started about five years ago. The D. M. L. C. Preps started this year, along with the Normal Depaartment.

If our academies at Saginaw, Michigan, Fond du Lac, W is., and Mobridge, S. D., begin playing football, our varsity team can then look forward to victories.

In spite of all defeats, one very seldom hears the players moan and groan about them. Those that are out for the varsity team are out entirely for the sport and as representatives of Northwestern College. I'm sure that they do their best in playing for their college, and one can not restrain himself in giving a cheer for these purely amateur players.

On October 19 the Band concluded its season of trips for 1930.

The occasion was the laying of the corner-stone of the new church of Our Redeemer at Del a van. Tn spite of the cold weather an out<loor service was held, llic Band accompanying the singing. Supper was served in a liall and after supper the Band played several minihers before returning (o Watertown. Probably none suffered more evil effects from llie 1ms ride, etc., than the prep menibcrs of the Band, judging from the pale and languid faces they displayed the next clay.

Anyone who has visited our campus must have noticed and ad­ mired the two stately elms in front of the gymnasium, and \yith good reason. For the largest of these elms is about 75 feet high, measures eighteen feet four inches around the base, and covers approximately 870 square yards of campus with its branches. It is said to be one of the largest of its kind in the state and its age is estimated at more than 2C0 years. But, stately1 and healthy as the tree appears on tlie outside, it is nevertheless hollow within, being supported only by an outer shell of six or eight inches. Tree surgeons have declared that it is impossible to save the tree, since the hark and roots on the north side of the trunk have been destroyed by a fungus disease: the branches on its north side can therefore receive no sap in its upward flow and must die. Naturally the pass­ ing of this old and majestic guardian of our campus will fill with sincere regret the minds of those who have looked up to it with awe and admiration in the past years. The tree may live and stand foy many more years, but it is doomed and is always iu danger of being blown over.

Nearly all of the students heard the lecture of Dr. B. R. Baum163

3 gardt on Constantinople and the Isles of Greece. Dr. Baumgardt is a speaker of note, and his lecture was certainly delivered in an able and interesting manner. The lecture was accompanied by a series of pictures, both pleasing and instructive, giving a rather clear and favorable impression of Constantinople and its semiOriental life. Dr. Baumgardt also depicted the Mohammedan from his own personal experience and, presented him in a different light than most of us have perhaps looked upon him heretofore. That the lecture was highly interesting may be seen in the fact that someone in the audience could remark that an hour and a quarter passed before he ever thought of taking out his watch.

The new tennis-court has finally been finished and is now in almost constant use during free time whenever the weather permits.

The new court is to be used not only for tennis but also for volley­ ball and for outdoor basketball. For this reason removable backboards have been erected. A number of students displayed their magnanimity to advantage by removing an offensive tree and by painting the backboards.

MM What explains the existence of a college paper? What is its purpose? Hardly advertisement. Is it to give the student prac­ tice in. writing? To a very small extent perhaps. The college paper is the voice of that school which is its home; through it a group of young men and women speak as one body, Northwestern, your voice is the “Black and Red.” But wait, is it? Have you m?de your paper a true representative of Northwestern or is it a lying voice that deceives its hearers as to the true condition of the 164

body, your school ? Just as little as the staff represents the school as a whole, so little can it through its own efforts make a paper that represents the interests of all of you. It requires interest, thought, and actual accomplishment in the form of contributions and criticisms on your part to make it that. If you think the “Black and Red” is not what it should be, say so and help to make it so.

How about the Co-eds ? That meagre (pardon) column entitled **Co-ed Notes” cannot possibly be the extent of your interest in Northwestern and her publication. But pardon, this is an exchange column.

We cannot help again mentioning the “College Chips” of Lu­ ther College, Decorah. Tlic “College Chips” editors put out an interesting, well-balanced paper. Their news section occupying the first page is interestingly written. Their columns, both humorous and serious are exceptional. We mention “Mooditations,” “I’ve Been Reading” and “Sawdust, But what struck us most are the editorials. They show that the matters written on have been thought out and that tlie writer is also acquainted with the thoughts of great men on these subjects. To mention a few we have “The Latin and Greek” and “Classifications of Integrity” in the issues of October 8th and 15th.

"The Pacific Star” published monthly by the students of Mount Angel College, Oregon, is well worth reading. One is made to feel the earnest purpose of these students through their publication.

Articles of interest are ""Pile Lure of Lights^ and “Glimpses of Youth” in the "St. Joseph's Collegian.”

The “Lawrence Alumnus” prints President Wriston’s Matri­ culation Day address, the theme of which is Loyalty. We quote a small section: “I have yet to hear of one student who has made good in the graduate schools who wished he had gone elsewhere for his col­ lege training, or who wished he had transferred in micl-course. I repeat, give the college love and loyalty. It is your college. If you are great students it will he a great college----- ’’ The perhaps unintentional error in the “Milton College Re­ view” of November 7th, previous to the Milton-Northwestern game, that Northwestern has never defeated Milton in football, has per­ haps already been noticed. In the last ten years Northwestern and Milton share about equal honors in victories.

Whitewater 19; Northwestern 0 On October 11 Northwestern suffered a smarting defeat at the hands of the Whitewater State Teachers’ College. The game was played under a hot, sweltering sun which retarded the action of the game considerably.

Early in the first quarter Whitewater gained control of the ball on Northwestern’s 16-yard line, the result of a fumble by Stuhr.

After several short thrusts at the line the ball was carried over the goal by Hackett for Whitewater’s first touchdown. At this junc­ ture Northwestern, taking a brace, sprang to the offensive and re­ tained it throughout the greater share of the half. Time and again the Black and Red gridders marched the ball clown the entire length of the field, but failed to muster the necessary plunge and drive to place the oval on the other side of the goal-line whenever an oppor­ tunity to score presented itself. 亇he third period was largely a puttering about ineffectively in the center of the field without any threat to score by either team.

In the fourth period, however, two more touchdowns were tallied by the Teachers. The first was the result of gains made on runs by Hackett and Hoene. A forward pass, Sturtevant to Lambie, was instrumental for the last.

Considering that both teams were so evenly matched in weight, Northwestern did not play the game it was capable of. A simple mechanical precision in the team-work seemed to be lacking. North­ western again and again became guilty of its old weakness to crack at important junctures.

Lake Forest 39; Northwestern 0 In a ragged, one-sided game Lake h Forest subjected the North­ western eleven to a rather harrowing defeat, October 18, the worst . was destined to undergo on upset, incidentally, that Northwestern its entire schedule. The Lake Forest running* attack was built around Captain Fcrzacca, a shifty, speedy backfield ace. With a fast-clicking backfield to pierce the line for him—one that per­ formed with mechanical perfection and blocked with bone-crushing impetus—Ferzacca blasted the Northwestern line for large gains.

Northwestern received the opening kick-off, but failed to make downs, and was fored to punt. Lake Forest, launching a brilliant, deceptive attack, followed through with a series of cut backs, triple and double pass plays and scored its first touchdown when the game was but a few minutes old. Ferzacca crossed the Northwestern goal for a second touchdown in the second period. The score at the half was 14-0.

Northwestern entered the fray the second half with the line sagging. The Black and Red defense soon collapsed before the powerful Lake Forest attack and allowed Ferzacca to run wild.

In a short time he collected three touchdowns. It was a riotous, demoralizing half for Northwestern.

The Black and Red team in most cases displayed a ragged, half-hearted, sluggish brand of football. Some bright spots for Northwestern in the game were good work by Buenger and V. Schultz in breaking up plays on defense. .

Carroll 26; Northwestern 6 Using an open date in the schedule to advantage in making a change in the lineup, the Northwestern squad invaded the Carroll camp, November 1, determined to prove that it was capable of far better football than displayed in the Lake Forest debacle.

In the opening minutes of the game Northwestern gained possession of the ball on Carroll’s 18-yarcl line, when Ottery, Carroll quarter, fumbled a punt. Northwestern immediately uncorked a pass attack and by completing three passes in succession advanced the ball to the 3-yard line. From here Buenger plunged over tackle for the first marker of the game. The Pioneers, however, came back fast. After taking a punt on Northwestern’s 42-yard line Ottery completed a pass directly over the line to Dillingofski, who, after eluding several tacklers, sprang into the clear, reversed his field and dashed thirty yards for Carroll、first touchdown. Early in the second quarter a Northwestern muff resulted in another touchdown for Carroll. The rest of the half was fought on about even terms. Both teams were forced to punt frequently. The score at the half was 14-6.

The Black and Red gridders entered the fray in the second half determined to fill up the margin in the score. Twice the North­ western gaining mahine, reeling off consistent gains, maneuvered the ball within but a few yards of the goal. Both times, however, the ball was intercepted by an Orange-jerseyed Pioneer. Short thrusts at the line by Heyn and Buenger, several sweeping runs by Stuhr, cleft passes snatched by Schewe featured in the ground grain­ ing. Carroll managed to score two more touchdowns, one on line 168

smashes, and the other the result of a 55-yard jaunt by Ottery late in the final period.

• The Northwestern line played on even terms with the heavier Carroll line. Reuschel gathered a number of neat tackles while hacking up the line. Ralph Lemke crashed through to block a Carroll kick in the final period. The ball, however, was recovered

Milton 6; Northwestern 54 On November 7 Northwestern ended its grid-season by bowling over Milton. In a pommeling such as the local football fans have not witnessed a Northwestern team administer to another team for years the Black and Red gridders made the unfortunate Milton eleven to bear the brunt of their football grievances to avenge for­ mer defeats. After the first blood was drawn the pent up fury of the team that had played the role of underdog just once too often gushed forth and wrouglit havoc with the Milton line.

Northwestern won the toss and chose to receive. The ball was returned deep into Milton’s territory. Hereupon Northwestern completed two first downs. Knifing his way through the rightflank on the next play, Buenger sprang into the clear and sprinted twenty yards for the first touchdown of the game. Stuhr followed with another a few minutes later, receiving the ball from Buenger m a spectacular lateral pass. In the second period Stuhr flitted through tackle, zigzagged his way through the Milton secondary defense and jaunted seventy-two yards for his second touchdown.

A few minutes before the half Jarvis registered a surprise by pluck­ ing a Northwestern pass out of the air, evading" those few tacklers near him and scurrying1 eighty-seven yards for Milton’s sole marker.

169

，

During the second half Northwestern backs battered the Milton line with such force that they ripped it to shreds. Five touch­ downs were scored without applying a great deal of pressure, two

by Heyn through the line and a third by intercepting a pass, one

by Stuhr and one by Ralph Lemke, who intercepted a Milton pass on the 50-yard line and raced fifty yards for a touchdown.

The Northwestern backs exhibited a fine display of blocking and driving. Heyn and Buenger showed up well in their respective positions in the backfield to which they had just recently been shifted. Stuhr again covered himself with glory by means of his sweeping runs. Schewe exercised skill and tact in the field gen­ eralship. To cull out any individual from the line for good playing would be doing injustice to the rest, for the line from end to end played sterling offensive and defensive.

Heyn, V. Schultz, Froehlich, Gentz, and Engel capped their football careers at Northwestern with this victory.

SEASON TICKETS Issue season tickets! was the request made by some of our basketball fans. The request has been granted. This is the first year in the history of our institution that season tickets are being issued. Most other colleges issue season tickets and have made a success of it, so why can't we? The question, whether we should have season tickets, has been debated for several years. The main reason for the delay was, that it was feared that the number of tickets sold would not be sufficient to make the enterprise a profit­ able one, for the desired local support is generally lacking, We had a good team last year and by all indications we should have another good team this year. .

The tickets will be sold for $2.50 and will be good for seven games. They will be on sale at the ticket office before the first game and also at some business place in town in the near future. .

Tickets may also be sent for by mail upon application to the basket­ ball manager.

“What in all the world would you call that?” asked some one pointing to an object coming up College Avenue. “Looks like somebody moving in.” “Don’t get excited，，’ said his partner. “It’s only Krueger’s 'Chevy* slightly overloaded.” And it was. Kasper, Warlike, Heyn, and Krueger had spent the week-end at Warlike’s home. After eating so much chicken “Had” thought it a good idea to bring along an easy chair. When time for returning to North­ western arrived, they placed a floor lamp and a rocker somewhere on the “speed wagon，” got in themselves, and away they went. How they ever got here is still somewhat of a mystery.

THere must be some attraction some place. Hermes Pape, ’30, has been paying his alma mater regular visits lately. Kasper seems to know where the “magnet” is, but he refuses to talk. Es Kommt (loch endlich ans Licht!

Ifs hard to believe, but Kaschinske says it’s so. He went hunting not so very long ago. After walking through hill and dale for about three hours wilhout seeing anything besides a few black­ birds and crows, he was going" to wind his weary way home. Just then a cotton tail had the brazen nerve to sit up on a stump and pricked his ears. “Rope” shouldered his rifle.—He doesn’t believe in shot guns. That’s cruelty to animals.—He aimed, closed his eyes, and fired. The stump was bare. “Evidently he rolled off on the other side,” thought our hunter. He walked over. And what do you think he found? A little tuft of fur about the size of a little powder puff. No, this is no fish story. Just a rabbit’s tale. ''Might is right” is the motto of the monitor of room 27. In order to impress this on his roommates and visitors he has a sign over his desk, which reads as follows: EDWARDUS JULIO 172

KNOLLA, REX IMPERATOR. Remember, Caesar had his Brutus!

Since the football season has come to a close, coach Kleinke is keeping in trim by chopping wood and spading his garden.

Arbeit macht das Leben susz,” say the juniors. One afternoon they hauled dirt from the “leaf dump” to the north side of the mnasium. They used the college horse and wagon as a means transportation. Hoefner tried his skill at horseback riding.

Schoeneck tried to drive with the reins crossed. A. Schultz actually held the pony in check going clown Western Avenue. Harke, how­ ever, took the prize as champion driver. He hit the “RauchopfcraUar,” slightly damaged that, and broke the reach of the wagon.

Room 88 now claims to have the oldest clock in the building.

Lutzke donated a fifty-year old clock. It still runs, and you should hear it strike!

The new tennis court is now ready to be used. We also have a new back stop, which was painted white by a group of volunteers.

The mystery of tlic month! It’s all about a ring. What a commotion a little rin^' can cause! Who is it? Why is it? What is it? Some claim the problem is solved. That’s questionable. A person cannot he convicted on circumstantial evidence.

Ff any one wishes to learn something about salesmanship ask Raal)e and Zimpelmann. Scliwenzcn has a good ghost story he would like to tell. He recently visited a haunted house. He heard weird and uncanny noises, but saw no ghost. Hackbarth has a “line” about the T. M. E. R. and L. Henry Meyer has developed a peculiar habit of looking for precious stones around the recitation building. “Icli weisz nicht, was soil es becleuteii.”

Among the visitors of the month are Merton Albrecht and Raymond Lenz, who came to see the Milton game. Von Haden, ’29, ^nd Oscar Hanunen, J29, were seen on the campus. Dobberstein 'vas visited by his mother, two brothers, George and Arthur, and a cousin, Leo. H. Kuhlow and E. Westphal dropped in to greet friends November eighth. Marcus Schwartz was surprised by his sister on November fifteenth. Marcus then accompanied her to Marshall, Wisconsin.

Rossin started something. Now “Konks” Engel is in the sick room with an infection in the leg.

“Spike” Vertz has been called <<Chief-Pain-In-The-MouthfM be­ cause he has been nursing a toothache for sometime.

Krueger met a rich flirt the other day and induced her to go riding with him. Scarcely had they become well acquainted, how­ ever, when a tire crashed. Krueger exclaimed in dismay: uGoodness! There’s a tire gone and I have no jack.”

She: “How fortunate that T brought my purse along.”

You Poor Fish Do you serve fish here?

Students in a restaurant: Yes, we serve anybody.

Clever, if nothing else Prof, (in History) : “Stuhr, will you give us a picture of the Greek comedies.”

Well—well—they were just like Knoll said the other Stuhr: day.”

Finally he exclaimed : “That must be a difficult trick playing those trombones—swallowing them all the time•” Gentz: “I’m going to the doctor to get an examination.”

Wegner: “Is it oral or written?”

With glee a sextaner was prancing around the halls, telling everyone that his sister would visit him, when a Junior asked him: “You will give me an introduction to her, won’t you?”

The sextaner hesitated: 44Y-Yes, but, but sfie’s been walking with a boy for two years already and they'll soon be married.” * While Fischer was enthusiastically extolling the Lake views about Milwaukee, Kirst asked him : “On which side of Milwaukee is the Lake?”

It was after midnight. A solitary Junior was still poring over his Hebrew in his study room when his attention was suddenly caught by a fearful cry issuing from a bedroom. At the next mo­ ment a terrified sextaner- rushed into his room, with a ghastly pal­ lor, his teeth clattering,, and his knees rapping against each other.

Entirely unnerved he threw himself upon a chair. Upon the in­ quiries of the Junior, he explained: - I was trying to fall asleep by telling myself a story which I was making up, and there were ghosts in it.” 氺

Two sextaners were astride a none-too-large hobby horse in the gymnasium. Things finally came to the point where one little rider said to the other: If one of us would get off, I could ride better.1 氺

The other day “Fat” Toepel came to the band director and asked if he couldn’t play a snore-clrum.

Prof, (in History) : “How did the cliff dwellers keep warm in the winter-time?”

Bremer: “I guess they used the mountain ranges.” 氺氺氺 And then there was the sextaner who tried to wear his room­ mate^ trousers so he wouldn’t have to pay for anything out of his own pocket.

THE MESSAGE Once shepherds ’neath the heavens clear Slept while their flocks were grazing near, And unto them came on this night The harbingers of cheer and light.

Then rose their sweet, seraphic choir And the whole sky was bathed in fire.

Surprised the shepherds stood in awe At what they now both heard and saw: “A child is born to you this day,” They sang, “to save the sons of clay, A savior which is Christ the Lord Alike by heaven and earth adored.

“O haste ye straight to Bethl’hem town.

There lieth meek, without a crown In lowly manger Christ the King Of whom the Father’s angels sing.”

To Bethl’liem swift the shepherds trod.

Lo! there they found the new-born God. They knelt and prayed and glorified, And spread the sweet tale far and wide.

Victor Tiefel, ’34.

THE OLD LIBRARY PRIOR TO ITS DESTRUCTION IN 1894 Every institution of higher learning must have a well-equipped library. We have the library, an excellent collection of very valu­ able books, but unfortunately we have no adequate access to them.

The collection as we now have it includes many donations from friends, former students, and teachers who have shown an ardent interest in promoting its accumulation. Now the problem is where to house them. Since almost every one of us is interested in our library, it might be well to look back and trace its development.

The following information was received from Dr. Ott, who has been connected with the library for the last forty-four years, and to whom most credit is due for the collection of the books.

In the early times the long narrow room above the hall of the old recitation building, which was destroyed by fire in 1894, served as a library. Many books, which were not used very often, were after 1887 stored in the attic of the old “Kaffeemuehle.” Before 1886 every professor had a key to the library. There was no librarian to take care of the books, nor were there any records.

At that time the library contained about 1,879 volumes. In 1886 Dr. Ott and Dr. Charles A. Ernst, Ph. D.，then a freshman, who is now a retired chemist living at Ridley Park, Pa., catalogued the first 1,879 volumes on Manila slips. They found traces of a former attempt at cataloguing some of the books, presumably made

by Dr. August Graebner before 1878. There were some valuable 179

works in that collection, among them an Incunabulum of 1492, a copy of Lucan’s “Pharsalia.” Of the 1,879丨)ooks, 163 were old German hymn books, and many books on practical theology. There were various sets of German classics. In English literature there was practically nothing. Translations of Bunyan's **Pilgrims Progress” and Young’s “Night Thoughts’’ and a modern edition of Scott’s “Kenilworth” represented our wealth of English literature.

In history we had Curtius’ **Griechische GeschiclUe,” Eberty's Preussische Gescliiclite” and Gibbon’s “Fall and Decline of Rome” ； there was no larger work on the history of the U. S. Many gifts of books had been obtained from friends in Ger­ many 1)y the Rev. John Bading, while traveling through Germany and Russia in the interest of Synod. Of all the books in the old library scarcely 200 were bought, the rest all having been donated.

A few modern books were acquired with the proceeds derived from a series of lectures given in Watertown l)y one of the judges of the Wisconsin supreme court. In 1878, when the Seminary was founded. many books suitable for its purpose were transferred to Milwaukee.

On July 30,1894, when the librarian, coming home from a vacathe recitation hall tion trip one day earlier than contemplated, again, it was all aflame. Lightning hatl struck a forty-foot flag­ staff on the “Old Kaffeeniuelile,” as the students of those days called it.

The fire traveled down from the cupola and soon covered the entire roof of the “Kaffeemuehle” and descended rapidly. All the books in the attic, which was a treacherous fire trap, were burned; most of them were government publications and theological works.

The fire department had been called, but it was not equipped as modern fire departments are, Watertown not having any waterworks at that time. The firemen were afraicl to enter the building at first, because they feared the chemicals would explode. The lat­ ter were stored in the chemistry room in the southeast corner of the basement, which the fire never touched.

Dr. Ott and some others who were present tried to save as much as possible. They made repeated trips into the building until there was danger of one of the interior walls caving in. Altogether they had saved about 800 of the 3,124 volumes.

Volume 3,124, entered by the librarian on July 11, 1894, was the last volume to be accessioned in the records of the old library.

It was the thirty-ninth volume of the *'Dictionary of National Bi­ ography,M all of which was saved.

Among the things which were burned, were all the school rec­ ords (except report books), government publications, and the theo­ logical books and various other books. It is still unaccountable how the aforementioned Incunabulum disappeared, as all the other l)ooks that were on that shelf were saved.

Soon after the fire the books that had been saved were taken into the refectory. There they were stored in the room opposite the present sickrooms. On April 1, 1895, after the new recitation hall had been completed, they were all removed to the room which now serves as a library. Here it is interesting to note that the south wall of the “Old Kaffeemuehle” now forms the north wall • of the present library.

G. H. G.，’34.

THE LIBRARY Eight hundred volumes in 1894, after the fire; sixteen thousand volumes today. That, in brief, summarizes the progress and growth of our library Some of this progress is due to four bequests. These are the Lt. Governor Hoffmann bequest of six hundred books, the Doctor Ernst and the Doctor Notz bequests of a thousand volumes each, the Doctor Krauss bequest of fifty volumes. Besides these, there are numerous bequests of books and several of money. Among those of money arc donations amounting to more than fifteen hun­ dred dollars from the Alumni Society, about six hundred dollars from the Synod, and two hundred dollars from the late Mr. W. Kieckhefer. The Weimar edition of Luther’s works was given us by the late O. Griehling, 78, and is now continued^ by his brothersin-law, Julius Dammann/92,and Albert Dammann, *95. Over a thou­ sand books have been purchased from profits of the book and sta­ tionery business.

Too much credit cannot be given to Doctor Ott, who has la­ bored unceasingly in the interests of our library. He always tried to choose the best and most helpful books, and he alone has cata­ logued and arranged our library. .

Our library consists of reference books, many books on history in English and German, literature in various languages, works on philology, books on travels, on science, philosophy, pedagogy and the like. The fiction is half in German and half in English, and the reference books are also about equally divided between English and German. German once predominated, because most of the books were acquired during a time when German was the medium of instruction at Northwestern. That is no longer the case.

Among the valuable books in the library is an incunabulum, a book printed before the year 1500. This one, a copy of Nicolaus de Lira’s Bible, was printed in the year 1497. It is the first an­ notated Latin edition of the Bible, and Luther is said to have used that edition.

“Si Lira non lyrasset, Lutherus non cantasset.1 181

Since we have spoken of the good points of our library, we must also mention some defects. Among these, the first that comes to our attention is a lack of new books, books that should be in every library. The main reasons for their absence are lack of funds and lack of space in which to put them. The library is at present ，crowded into nine separate rooms. Of these only three or four are readily accessible. Out of sixteen thousand volumes placed in these rooms, only 14,110 have been catalogued. The librarian feels that it is useless to catalogue a book so long as there is no accessible space in which to put it. This brings us to another defect of our library.

The library is at present rather inaccessible. The student who wishes to do reference work in our present library must be content with the works in the three main rooms of the library and he must know exactly what books he needs. He must then draw them from the library and study them at home. This is a great disadvantage, for if a student is not absolutely certain of his bibliography, he may get books that do not pertain to the subject he wishes to study.

Since the library is open only during- a small part of the day, many valuable hours may be lost before he is able to obtain the books he needs. If he has the opportunity to browse about, such a rrnstake will not happen; for he will be able to tell if he has the correct books. Browsing, the joy of anyone who does much reference work, is denied, one except in the small reference room in the dormitory, where a few encyclopedias are kept. This lack of browsing" facili­ ties has an evil effect in that it causes many students to rely too much upon encyclopedias.

The purpose of our library is to aid students attending at Northwestern to obtain a liberal education from a Lutheran stand­ point. To do this our library should contain books on every sub­ ject, on modern as well as ancient subjects. These books should be kept in a building open to students during' a large part of the day. All books should be readily accessible so that a student may look through them and become acquainted with them. Finally, there should be a reading room next to the “stack room” so that the student with browsing propensities may browse to his heart’s content.

We are all anticipating with pleasure a new library building that we hope will be erected soon with a view to remedying1 the de­ fects of the present housing. Among the most necessary improve­ ments there should be ample space for books, and a reading room adjoining a stackroom.

R. A. S., *34.

WHY A NEW BUILDING? The need of a new library and recitation building on our cam­ pus was recognized at the time when the temporary barracks were built to provide two much needed classrooms. As a temporary re­ lief the barracks served their purpose admirably, but they were never intended to do more than provide temporary classrooms, and they in no way served to mitigate the inadequacy of our library and laboratory. The library is not now nor has it ever been more than a storeroom for books. It never has been a workroom or reading room for students or facult y, an d for some years it has been too small even to accommodate the 1hooks that have accumulated. Thousands of books and periodicals are stored in disused cloakrooms, in the attic, and in the basement, where they are so inaccessible that they arc of very little use to the college. When we say we have a libr ary,,\ve mean that we have so and so many thousands of volumes, but we do not mean that we have the facilities to make these volumes useful to the college. The laboratory is as pitifully inadequate as the library.

The four largest classrooms at the college are temporary or are makeshifts, there is no library reading or work room, and there is no laboratory that could he called even partly adequate, Those are the chief reasons for the agitation for a new building on the campus. That building should provide first of all a college library, then a number of classrooms, a good laboratory, arid lastly a fac­ ulty room and offices for the administration.

When the College Board decided to recommend the construc­ tion of a new Inulding; to the District Synods at their sessions last summer, they suggested that the faculty determine what the imme­ diate needs of the college were and procure an estimate of the cost of a building- that would fill those needs. The faculty engaged the firm of Toltz, King and Day, of St. Paul, the architects that planned the new building1 at our college in New Ulm, to submit a plan and detailed estimates.

The estimate submitted also included a single heating plant for all buildings on the campus. At present there are three separate heating plants in operation, one for the dormitory and the recita­ tion building, one for the gymnasium, and one for the refectory.

None of these is large enough to hear the load of heating a new building if it should lie erected, and as it would be folly to add an­ other heating plant for the building, it was considered necessary to combine the present heating plants into one large central heating plant for all buildings on the campus. Such a plan would also lessen the present fire hazard, would lower insurance, labor, and fuel costs, and increase efficiency.

The plans and estimate submitted are. of course, wholly tenta183

tive and serve merely to give reliable information as to what is needed at Northwestern College and what the maximum cost would be. The outside cost of the two buildings, library and heating plant, fully equipped and furnished in every detail, according to the archi­ tect^ estimate, would be $166,000. The architects guarantee that if bids should be asked for the construction and equipment of the buildings they suggested, the contractor’s bid would not exceed their estimate and would almost certainly be several thousand dol­ lars lower. The estimate, it should be remembered, is not merely for the cost of construction, but includes such equipment as oil burn­ ers, modern ventilating system, electric program control, furniture, and in fact, everything necessary to set up the buildings ready for use. The cost of the architect’s services was generously borne by the Alumni Society, and the plans and estimates are now property of the college. No obligation of any kind has been entered into, not even an obligation to use these plans or to engage this firm of architects. The college and the Synod have absolute freedom of action. All that has so far been clone has been to procure definite and reliable information, so that when the time comes for the Synod to decide whether or not new buildings should be erected at North­ western College, it might have exact information as to what was. needed and what the exact cost of first-class buildings and equip­ ment would be.

The attitude of the District Synods at their sessions last summer was in general favorable to the project proposed by the Board and the Faculty. There was no doubt in any minds as to the needs of the college and as to the desirability of at last supplying them after these many years. The only doubt that did exist was whether the new work should be undertaken now, at a time when the debts of the Synod are causing such distress of mind and when the whole country is going through a period of serious economic depression.

The depression is the lesser of the two evils, for if only there were a fair prospect of shaking ourselves free of the synodical debts, congregations, pastors, and boards would cheerfully take tip the work of relieving the present situation in our mission fields and at this institution. God speed the day! .This building project will be submitted to the General Synod at its meeting in the summer of 1931. That body will decide whether new buildings should be erected at Northwestern College in the near future or present conditions should remain unchanged.

E. Ko'valke.

The accompanying cut is the architect’s conception of how a library-recitation building, adequate for our purpose, might look.

The cut shows the main entrance, facing the north. The sugges184

1 tion that so far has met with most general approval is, if the Synod approves at all of erecting a new building, to place it on the site of Dr. Ott’s residence. Dr. Dtt’s house could be moved a few hundred feet directly east toward the old cemetery.

The central heating plant would occupy the site of the present barracks.

Whatever plan is finally adopted, a new building on our campus should provide the following facilities: In the basement, li­ brary stack rooms, a rehearsal room for musical organizations, a room for male students from town, storerooms, and vault. On the first floor, library reading room, faculty reference room, faculty room, offices, two large classrooms. On the second floor, two classrooms, a physical laboratory, a chemical laboratory, a science lecture room.

Although no concerted effort to gather funds has been made or will be made before the project has been duly passed on by the Synod, the Alumni Society and four friends of the college who are heartily in favor of the project, have already promised to give sums, when the time comes, totalling about $12,000.

SNOW BOUND The figure of a young man with a gun slung over his shoulder might have been seen walking on a December day through the woods south of Lake Superior in the direction of a railroad station.

Glancing up into the sky, he noticed that there was snow in the air.

It was bitter cold and he was hoping _ to reach the station soon.

Twenty minutes later the sky began to thicken and almost as if a curtain had dropped, the day darkened into night. It was not yet night, but darkness came early on account of the snow.

The man was not able to make much headway, for the z'lgzaggin**- Hakes almost hid his trail from view. It snowed harder, and the flakes became larger. Only the .bare outlines of the nearest trees could be seen.

Finally the trail was completely obliterated, but he had to move on in order to keep warm. ‘Tm in a fine way to get back to the party at this rate，’’ he muttered. “And Christmas Eve be­ sides ;what will the gang say?”

He dragged his feet on and on although he did not know where jie was going. When almost exhausted, he came to a farm dwell­ ing- at the edge of a clearing. He stumbled up to the door and rapped. An elderly woman answered his knock. She opened the door wondering who it could be on a night like this. The stranger 185

said, “I have been hunting and got lost in the storm. Could you let me warm myself, and tell me where I am?”

“Mercy, yes!” cried the woman, “Why，you must be almost frozen to death. Come John, sweep the snow off his feet and help him take off his coat while I get a warm cup of coffee.”

Soon he was comfortably seated, with his feet restirfg on a small stool near the stove, sipping the warm coffee. Every few seconds a shiver would run up his back and the cup would tremble and a few drops of the invigorating liquid would spill on his lap.

While waiting for his feet to warm, he looked quietly at the lady. She was rather heavily built and about forty years old. But already her hair was streaked with gray. He turned his head a little and looked at the man. He, too, showed that he had toiled for his bread and butter, for his hands were horny and his face was weather beaten.

“How far is it to Superior from here?” suddenly asked the young man.

Well, I should judge―oh, about fifty miles more or less,” answered the old man.

“Do you think that I can get there tonight?”

"Mercy, noput in the lady, “In a night like this? Why the closest railroad station is six miles away; you could never get there tonight. You must stay here and maker yourself at home; enjoy yourself, for this is Christmas Eve.” "Yes, I know,” drawled the young man, I was supposed to enjoy myself at a grand party this evening. Father didn’t, want me to come out here any'vay.” 二And what might your father's name be?” asked the old lady, The young man replied, “Charles Wyatt.”

"Charles Wyatt ? The president of the steel works ? Are you his son?”

“Yes, I am his son and my name is Erich,” answered the young man.

Just as the traces of surprise had vanished from their faces, the farmers daughter entered the room. She was introduced to Erich as Virginia. .

For Erich the Christmas Eve was now a cheery one, it had lost its dull hard bitterness of cold, and for the first time he heard the sharp crackle of the burning hickory chunk. He found himself chatting with a girl of eighteen or slightly more. He admired her simple beauty. He gazed at her graceful ankles, clothed in cotton stockings; how much more graceful would they be if covered with silk, he thought. Her long-lashed blue eyes and blond hair awoke a nameless longing in his breast, but thinking of a girl who even now perhaps was waiting for him, he laughed and said, “What a 187

wonderful Christmas Eve, to sit by a warm fire with no burdens— no cares.”

“No cares?” asked the girl, “You might help me trim the tree.”

“That will be fine. I’ll be Santa Claus, and you can be Mrs. Santa Claus.” Then he laughed and proceeded to decorate the tree.

“Now, said Virginia, “you can pop some corn, and I will make popcorn balls out of it. Here's the corn and here’s the popper.”

When the corn popped up against the cover, he fairly sang, '*Look out Germans, here we come,” and looking more directly at Virginia he said, “Boy, this is just like Chicago.” “Oh, that reminds me, Amos and Andy are on the air from a Chicago station at 10 o’clock.

Shall I tune in on the station ?—Here they are.”

While listening to the radio, she would glance his way and watch the smiles play upon his face. She longed to run her fingers through his wavy hair and to straighten his tie. She bad never loved or been loved. Here, she thought, was a man that she could love.

“If you can sing,” he said, “I will play the piano and you can sing a solo; maybe we can make it a duet.M “What will it be, a Christmas song?”

“Sure,” he said as he began to play and join his bass to her soprano. They sang all of the Christmas carols and even several hymns.

• It was getting rather late. He leaned closer to her and she to him. Then he thought of Whittier’s poem, “Maud Muller”； of the judge taking a drink of cold spring water from the lassie. He won­ dered whether she knew what he was thinking about. Suddenly he asked her whether she had ever heard of Maud Muller. But she shook her head. He knew that it could not be. She was just a simple young farmer girl. He asked to be shown to his room.

Wondering why he had become so solemn, she showed him where lie was to lodge for the night.

Erich rose early the next morning, for he was anxious to get back to the city. But the farmer was up long before he was.

What a morning it was. The whole world was clothed in solid whiteness. The wind was cold and bitter, and the sky was per­ fectly clear.

The time came to say good-bye. There was a vague unrest in his breast, for he knew that he loved this simple lovely girl but could not marry her on account of his station in life; he thought of his mother, “vain of his rank and gold.” The girl placed her small hand into his to say good-bye, hardly realizing that perhaps she would never see him again. As he was about to turn away she asked almost tremulously, “Do you love Maud Muller?” Erich could not help laughing, “You dear iinnocence. I want you、to read 188

about her. She is a heroine of a poem by Whittier.” Then he hurried away.

Erich reached home late that Christmas day. His family was beginning to be worried about him, though they guessed that the snow storm was the cause of his not appearing at the party. But there was another party scheduled for that very same evening.

At the party that night, several of his best friends came up to him, and one of them said, “Where the deuce were you last night ?

You should have been here; we had a swell time, and talk about cocktails—we had them.”

But Erich only said, “Sorry gang, but I got lost in a storm. I had to remain at a farmhouse over night. I amused myself by singing songs with the farmer’s daughter.” uPoor boy. What a calamity. We have some real music for you this evening,” said one. “Poor boy,” re-echoed the others.

Erich smiled. He thought once more of the blue-eyed farmer girl. Then the orchestra began. “Poor boy,” lie murmured to him­ self as he got up lo dance.

OLD MOSE Old Mose was the figlitingcst piece of brain food ever rolled into a rnuskic skin. Old Mose, the terror of his kind and the despair of the nimrods. His castle was m a patch of bullrushes at the mouth of the Turtle river in Rice Lake, and his domain wherever he chose to go. His subjects led a harrowed life and were in con­ stant fear of ending their lives in his majesty’s stomach.

His protruding jaw, his frowning stare, his many rows of sharp teeth were all enhanced by-the numerous scars which em­ blazoned his ferociousness. The scars were old reminders of fool­ ish youth when even he had had something to learn. But never in the later years of his life had a fishhook torn his flesh. Old Mose prided himself in being too wise for the wisest angler. He scoffed at lures, broke lines with impunity and laughed at the idea of end­ ing his life on a dinner table.

All right! laugh. You never heard Mike sing his eulogies, to lose their teeth but Last July, when mtiskies are supposed __ don’t, Mike, guide extraordinary, and I were canoeing on Rice Lake and fishing whenever the spirit moved us.

As our canoe glided near the aforesaid bullrushes, I tossed my plug to their edge when wham!—there was a terrific swish and my “S.urf” was sent five feet into the air. “That’s him!’’ remarked Mike in an *1 told you so’，tone of voice and proceeded to remind himself of stories until he was too far off the subject to be interest189

ing. I，of course, wanted to fish for him the rest of the day and would have if Mike hadn’t been along. He “knew Old Mose too well to fool with him.”

Yes, I went back the next day and the next and cast until my arms were about ready to fall oft" and I nearly came to the same conclusion that Mike had reached so long ago, but not quite. I had sworn to get Old Mose by hook or crook. I decided to resort to strategy and remained in camp trying to work out my line of attack.

A few days later I was canoeing along the shore when there was a swish! and a splash! as a large muskie devoured a frog.

Eureka! Eureka!

I caught all the frogs in the neighborhood during the next two days and on the third just to show my respect for “the grandaddy of all” I fed him frogs by tossing them into the bullrushes and the way he took them was enough to set anyone’s pulse racing. 、Well一the next day I was out bright and early with a boatful of assorted frogs, gaffs, pistols, stringers, rifles, and frog-harnesses.

I spit on my hook, killed a big bullfrog, attached him as life­ like as my frog-harness would permit, and arched him over to Old Mose’s feudal mansion. It was lost in a swirl of foam and away he went, lickety-split! I hung one and was about to let out a whoop when my line went limp. I reeled in frantically thinking he was charging the boat or some other fool thing, but when the end of the line came in, it was fishless as well as frogless save for a frag­ ment clinging to each of the hooks.

“Migosli!” I exclaimed, “I hope he isn’t as wise as all that.”

I laid it to plain luck or, rather, I tried to but it didn’t satisfy me.

With a feeling similar to that of a dethroned monarch I changed frog-harnesses and cast again and all the line brought in was another disappointment. I cast again and again forcing myself to be cheerful like the clown in “Laugh, Clown, Laugh,” and always the same theme with variations.

The sun started to sink and with it my-enthusiasm and the frogs passed with the time until, just before sunset, I discovered that there was only one bewildered froglet hopping around aim­ lessly in my pail. I had experimented with every frog-harness in my possession and Old Mose was still very much alive with another coup to his credit.

I rummaged around in my tackle-box looking for something suggestive of an idea. There was very little inspiration in the in­ tricate mess of hooks, plugs, and lines, but suddenly an idea struck me and it. seemed almost plausible in my demented condition.

I took my best frog-harness and attached the frog, but一I se­ cured a medium-sized hook to the frog-harness by means of a short 190

:j piece of fishline and buried it completely in the dead frog.

The frog was lost in a swirl and again the line flashed through the water like a knife, but this time it did not go limp. The fish charged for distant regions like a submerged hydroplane, I allowed him to run but when I had only about five yards of line left I attempted to turn him and to my surprise he turned easily. “Try­ ing to fool me, huh? We’ll see about that.” I sat tight and kept my eyes peeled. I gained line easily and it wasn’t long before he was within ten feet of the boat swimming back and forth in exhaustive charges, but because I had. to look into the setting su n I could not see him.

My arsenal was ready, but I decided in favor of the gaff. Then noticing that I had drifted into shore, I waded out and led my prize to shore with extreme care.

He was breaking water. I reached down and seized him by the gill. There—What the! Of all the—just a young one!

I hurled him hack, threw my rod in after him, and followed it up with a string of exclamations which would have made a plumber gasp.

No一it wasn't Old Mose, it was only one of his servants who experimented for him—at least that’s what Mike said.

“SANTA，S ERROR” I'aylor Avenue was a beautiful street to look at on Christmas night. Tall evergreens were ranged along" the boulevard and their limbs bent low under the masses of snow which they had caught.

Some of the rich people had placed strings of electric lights and ornaments on their evergreens. All the houses had smaller trees, which could be seen through the windows. These trees were dec­ orated, often overloaded, with tinsel, artificial icicles, snow, and candy.

Fatty” Kimps, dressed in a Santa suit and drawing a sled, fitted perfectly into this scene. The sled bore an immense sack, filled with toys, which completed the picture. “Fatty” was happy and smiling, as a Santa Claus always should be; but in his happi­ ness he was whistling, which a Santa does not do. “Fatty” had a good reason for being in high spirits.

Last Monday “Old” Terson had unexpectedly come .into the shipping room. The men all had, as usual, jumped to their work, Terson had 1. called: “Mr. Kimps, I’d like to speak to you.”

“Fatty” would never forget that moment, when he had ex­ pected anything from a calling-down to being fired.

191

Terson began, “Mr. Kimps, what are you doing on Christmas Eve?” “Why, nothing,” the surprised "Fatty” answered.

Terson continued, “You live alone with your mother, so thought you could do me a favor. I want you to play Santa to my two children.”

“Fatty” breathed normally again.

Terson explained farther, *The kids have almost everything you can imagine. I can’t buy them anything that they become ex­ cited over any more. You can buy anything you think they will like and charge it to my account. Then bring the toys to the house on Christmas eve between 9 and 9.30 o’clock.”

Of course “Fatty” would do it.

Now the big night was here. His watch showed 9.15, which made “Fatty” realize that Taylor Avenue was a long street, for he had been walking since 8.30. The street was so long that although the street stretched millionaires lived on some parts of it, still, out of town, there were many common houses on it, homes like those in which Kimps lived.

Santa tramped on with his burden. The suit, not designed for walking, grew uncomfortable. “Here’s the block,M Fatty thought to himself. “Now, which house is it. Terson said it was the— now what did he say, the first or second ? He said that the house number was one thousand, and that his wife would be sitting at the window. Why, there's his wife at the window of this first house.”

We leave Santa for a moment to look at another scene.

How much more time have we, mother?” Mr. Payne asked his wife as he knelt before a feeble-looking Christmas tree.

“It’s fifteen minutes to nine already,” Mrs. Payne replied.

“We’ve only half an hour until the children get back. Here, hang these ornaments on the tree while I get the candles from upstairs:’’ Mr. Payne surveyed his handiwork and mused to himself, “This certainly is a shabby tree.”

He opened the box of ornaments and called to his wife, “Why most of these are broken.”

“Oh, they can’t be,” Mrs. said hopefully, “Let me see.”

But her search proved what her husband had said.

“Then give me the candles, Mother. If they’re burning, the children won’t notice that there are not many ornaments.”

Mrs. Payne gave him the candles: three that had not been used and a dozen stubs. <fAre those all that are left?”

His wife, on the verge of tears, merely nodded. .He turned his attention to the tree. Mechanically he lifted a limb here, rearranged an ornament there; but the tree still did not offer a satisfactory appearance. At last Mr. Payne turned to his 192

wife in disgust, “This won’t do. You place these games and clothes under the tree while I go to town to get some candles or ornaments.

Have we any money to spare?”

“There are only twelve dollars left,” his wife replied.

“I’ll just use a dollar. But there must be work for me soon. I applied at the city hall today. There were so many on the waitinglist ahead of me that they didn’t want to take my application at all; but when I told them that I had not worked since August they wrote my name down. There, it’s 9 o’clock already. I’ll hurry, because the only store that’s open tonight is more than a mile from here.”

When her husband had gone, Mrs. Payne placed the gifts under the tree. She hung a few cookies on the tree and then saw the neighbors, who had taken the children along to church in their car, return.

At the first glimpse the children accepted the tree as being wonderful, although the three good candles unsuccessfully tried to do the work of a dozen.

The children received the sweaters and other clothes with shin­ ing eyes. They tried them on, took them off, then tried them on againL The novelty of such necessary gifts, however, soon wears off. They were placed in drawers, where they belonged, and the sorrowful tree again stood alone, with its lights growing weaker and weaker.

The children busied themselves with gifts which they had received at the church service一the customary mission-story book, exceedingly ripe apples, and the drawing outfit.

Mrs. Payne sat down at the window which commanded a view of the street. A peculiar tenseness seemed to be in the atmosphere for her. Any moment she expected the children to express their disappointment at not receiving more gifts or toys. Mr. Payne loved the children and at Christmas time he had always spent lib­ erally in order to make them happy. The girl, being ten years old, could already uiulerstand such a thing as "hard times," but the boy was two years younger and very likely to be dissatisfied.

The children now noticed the absence of their father. The girl asked where he was.

• “I know,” the boy cried, “He’s out to get Santa Claus and show him where we live. He’ll bring us more toys.”

Will I get my sewing kit, mother ?M the girl asked.

Will I get my coaster?” the boy quickly added.

I don't know. You wrote a letter to Santa, didn’t you?”

Oh, sure, we wrote our letters. Will we get everything we asked for? ."Well, I suppose you won’t get everything■，” Mrs. said, “Santa brings what you need and like the most.”

193

A minute passed.

“I hope papa comes soon, from the boy.

Mrs. Payne looked out of the window and sighed to herself.

The children were already so happy over gifts which they expected, while father was only bringing ornaments. The children now came to the window also and waited impatiently for their father.

Suddenly the boy cried, “Mama, there’s Santa. Look V* Mrs. Payne looked and sure enough a real Santa was coming along the street. They watched the red-clothed figure as it came nearer. He stopped.

“Oh, mama, he’s coming up our walk. Open the door, quick V* the boy shouted.

Mrs. Payne, so surprised that she did not know what to say, answered the knock. The robust, smiling figure brushed past her and entered the room.

“Hello, Santa, Hello, Santa,” the overjoyed children shouted.

And Santa, who was none other than “Fatty” Kimps himself, could not remember where anyone had ever been so happy at his arrival as these two children were. Not knowing what to do, they ran everywhere, shouting and clapping their hands.

Did you get our letters?”

Why, of course,” Santa replied, “but I couldn’t bring all you asked for.”

Is that big bag-full ours?” the children asked.

“Sure, that’s all yours,” Santa answered.

“Oh, that’s enough then,” the children chorused.

“What! I thought Terson said he couldn’t satisfy them，’’ “Fatty” said to himself. In fact, the entire surroundings seemed peculiar to him. For the mother stood back, somewhat astonished, acting not at all like a millionaire’s wife. The house, although large，clean and neat within, had very plain furnishings. The rugs and carpets were actually threadbare. Terson probably was an old skinflint at home, Santa thought, and dismissed the matter from hi.s mind. He distributed the toys, then watched to see such gen­ uine appreciation and happiness as he had not expected. “Old” Terson surely didn’t know how to please children.

“Fatty” left the house as satisfied and joyous as a man can be 'v.ho has made someone else happy. At the door of his own home his mother met him.

Where are the toys?” she asked.

“Why, I delivered them，’’ Fatty answered.

“Ho'v could you?” his mother continued, “just as you left, Mr. Terson called and said that they had received an invitation to spend Christmas in the country. He said they were leaving immediately, and that you could do with the toys whatever you wished/* 194

“Fatty” grabbed the telephone book. “Terson―Terson, here it is. One thousand, North Taylor Avenue.” “Fatty” sank into a chair and pressed his hands to his head; for he had delivered the toys to one thousand, South Taylor Avenue. Then he smiled.

CLASS NUMBERS Again we introduce the Class Numbers after it was almost de­ cided to drop them, because so little interest was shown in previous years. But upon second and more serious thought it occurred to us that if the classes as a whole were not asked to contribute, we should perhaps never get material from those students. Is this a school paper, or is it merely a staff paper to most of us? Surely different individuals have different tastes and inclinations, they are members of the student body, so why not have their ideas and lit­ erary material in print ? These and other questions we asked our­ selves before we decided to run them again. Thus we begin with the Freshman Class which puts out this, the Christmas number. In­ corporated in it are also a few articles on our hoped-for library, which is indeed a necessity. It will take some real material to beat this number and is something for the other classes to work for. Remember the name of your class 'vi 11 be on the cover of your issue. Do it justice.

BEAUTIFYING THE COLLEGE CAMPUS During the last year a number of improvements were made on the College Campus. One of these is a cement tennis court. An­ other is a fence which extends from the tennis courts to the Col196

lege Avenue campus entrance. Between this fence and the northern end of the dormitory there is a strip of land, which is covered with weeds and stones. This area is also devoid of trees and bushes.

To the people who visit our school this spot must have a very unkempt appearance. It does not leave a good impression on our football, basketball, or baseball fans.

This strip of land, which is about an acre, would make a very fine park. Only a few hours of work would be required to harrow it, and to seed it with grass would require even less time. Several trees, bushes, and flower beds could be planted in convenient places.

Soon we would have a beautiful park alongside of our gymnasium.

This would be very much to our credit, and, we are sure, it would bring forth many laudable comments from our alumni and visitors.

Some one might ask where the money would come from for such a scheme. We answer that very little money will be needed.

The cost of plowing, leveling, and seeding surely can be met by a few dollars from any of several smaller funds that the College Board has on hand for just such purposes.

As to the planting of trees and shrubs or flowers, the students, we are sure, would take enough pride in this proposed park to de­ vote an afternoon of work to help beautify it. That is all that would be needed.

Perhaps even a graduating class might deem this project a fine way of paying their tribute to their Alma Mater!

OUR LATIN AND GREEK COURSES Why do we spend so many years on Latin and Greek ? To be able to read the Bible in the original Greek is one reason for the study of that classic. Reading the Bible in the languages in which it was written is indispensable for the preaching of the Gospel. But is all the time spent on the classics absolutely necessary ? Greek could be taught readily enough by the inductive method, which is employed by many colleges and universities. The textbook first used in this system is usually Xenophon’s “Anabasis.” The stu­ dent, without any previous knowledge of Greek, at once begins translating, learning the vocables by context, and acquiring the accidence and syntax as he meets each. Although the first is rather difficult, nevertheless the system usually works out successfully.

This method would cut off two years, Quarta and Tertia, from our Greek course.

Latin is on the schedule for eight years at our college. By 197

【^Mhxtk ^

j

using the inductive n'ethod also in Latin we would be able to derive more benefit from the standard Latin authors in a much shorter time. I doubt whether we derive much benefit from them by trans­ lating them, as we do at present, line for line with but a faint idea of the subject in question. Classics are difficult enough for us to understand and appreciate in such familiar languages as German and English. Studying them by our system may justly be com­ pared to the example of a man seeking to obtain a birdseye view of a city like Chicago by wandering aimlessly through its streets and looking only at its sidewalks. We should think that the inductive method would help very much in bettering this condition. Two or three years of Latin would be taken away and those periods could well be utilized for some of our more useful present-day sub­ jects, such as Psychology, Sociology, Education, Geology, etc., which certainly stand a minister in good stead and also benefit our commercial students.

THE HONOR SYSTEM AT NORTHWESTERN The present system of discipline over the student-body at Northwestern both in the classroom and on the campus would be improved greatly by the introduction of the Honor System.

The Honor System is used in most colleges and universities throughout the country. It is a government by the students them­ selves. This means that the students are their own “bosses.” It also means, however, that they are to conduct themselves as gentle­ men, according to their selfrespect and sense of honor. In most mstances this system has proved very effectual. In cases of misbe­ havior, such as transgressing campus rules or practicing dishonesty in class the student involved is reported to the student council, which is composed of members from each class, and which investi­ gates and judges the offense. In most instances the council grants the person implicated another chance. If after having been granted an opportunity to prove himself worthy, the student commits the same offense, he is tried again. This time he is dealt with very severely, which usually means that he is expelled, In some cases he is banned from the student-body. This is a by far more exact­ ing punishment than expulsion.

That the Honor System does justice not only to the poor and uninfluential student but also to the rich and popular student can be seen by the following. Recently a popular student at a state university transgressed the rule which forbade smoking in any of the university buildings. He was immediately brought before the 198

!

student council. His case was discussed. The council decided to demand the expulsion of this student from the institution.

Some might say: “What is the difference between this and our system?” The difference lies therein that the student is judged by his equals, thus leaving a greater impression on him than if he were judged by superiors. The least deliberation on the student’s part should prevent him from misconduct himself.

If a plan like this would not improve our present disciplinary system, it would certainly not prove less efficient.

Wir glauben, class wir den vielen Mitgliedern der Synodc einen Dienst erweisen, indem wir also (lie ersten Protokole der Sitzung der Synode von Wisconsin publizicrn, die bis jetzt noch nicht in Druck erschienen sind. Diesmal drucken wir die ORGANISATION DER EV.-LUTH. SYNODE VON WISCONSIN Den 8. Dez. 1849 versammelten sich in Milwaukee im Kirchsaale der ev.-luth. Gemcinde die Pastoren Muehlhaeuser, Wrede, Weinmann unci Meis, urn den wichtigen Gegenstand der Einrichtung einer Synode in Wisconsin gegenseitig zu berathen und zu besprechen. Diese Versammlung wurde mit Gesang unci Gebet eroeffnet und sod an n der vorliegende Gegenstand in Beratung gezogen und nach vielseitiger Besprechung desselben von besagten Predigern einstimmig gewuenscht und fuer noetig befunden, jetzt eiiie Synode in Wisconsin zu konstruieren, und dann beschlossen: L dass die zu errichtencle Synode den Namen “Die、erste deutsch-ev.-luth. Synode von Wisconsin” haben und fuehren soil, und unter dem naemlichen Namen und Benennung ewige Nachfolge haben solle.

2. dass die Beamten besagter Synode fuer diesmal auf 2 Jahre erwaehlt werden sollen.

Bei dieser Wahl wurden folgende Personen als Beamte erwaehlt: P. Muehlhaeuser als Praesident, P. Weinmann als Schreiber，P. Wrede als Schatzmeister.

Der Praesident P. Muehlhaeuser wurde dann beauftragt, sobald als moeglich eine Konstitution fuer die Synode zu entwerfen, welche dem Bekenntnis derselben entsprechen muesse. Dann wurde endlich zuletzt noch beschlossen, dass die naechstjaehrliche Synodalversammlung den 27. Mai 1850 in Granville, Wis., stattfinden sol.le，wobei die Glieder derselben ihre jaehlichen Ber-ichte mitzubringen haben. So geschehen den 8. Dez. 1849 in Milwaukee.

Naechses mal das Protokol der ersten Sitzung.

Am Sonntag, dem 23. November, waren wir Studenten schon alle vor sieben Uhr zurueck. Es gait, das fuenfzigjaerige Amtsfeiern. Ausser den Studenten hatten jubilaeum Prof. Piepers sich auch die Verwandten des Jubilars und viele Pastoren von Mil­ waukee und Umgebung eingefunden. Ein Viertel vor Acht hatten wir dann einen Festgottesdienst in unserer Aula. Hier hielten Herr Praeses Bergemann und Herr Pastor Knuth Ansprachen, und unser Studentenchor sang passende Lieder. Auch sprach Prof.

Pieper kurz ueber seine Amtstaetigkeit und hob besonders hervor, dass seine Stunden daheim in seiner Studierstube und in it uns in der Klasse, in welchen er Gottes Wort auslegt, seine groesstcn Freudenstunden seien. Nach der Feier in der Aula hatten wir noch eine Nachfeier im Esssaal. Hier hatte die Kueche fuer Kaffe und Kuchen gesorgt. Nach dem Imbiss hatten wir noch ein paar schoene gemuetliche Stunden. Herr Pastor Knuth war Toastmeister und sah dazu, dass verschiedene Pastoren, die in naeherem Verhaeltnis mit Prof. Pieper stehen, kurze Reden hielten. Auch gratulierte unser Praeses, Herr Redlin, dem Herrn Professor in unserm Namen. Dass sich auch viele schoene Geschenke einfanden, ist selbstverstaendlich. Zum Schluss sprach der Jubilar noch kurz zur 一 Festversammlung. Es war schon spaet als “Gute Nacht” gesagt wurde.

Dem Herrn Pastor Strohschein ist nach ein paar Monaten das Kochen wirklich sauer geworden. Er soli gehoerig abgenommen haben, da seine Gerichte ihm gar nicht mehr munden wollten. So konnte es nicht mehr weiter gehen. Dem Uebel hat er nun abgeholfen aber nun muss er sich vor dem andern Extrem in Acht nehmen.

Etwas Herr Tessmer hat sich auch in die Ehe begeben.

Naeheres haben wir aber nicht von ihm in Erfahrung bringen koennen, da er etwas weit von uns entfernt ist.

Montagmorgen war es, wir waren gerade aus der Elektrischen gestiegen. Sagt Kuehl: “War das aber heiss auf deni Zug!M “Welchem?”

“Von Minneapolis.”

“Warst du da?”

“Nicht ganz, beinah’.’’

“Red Wing?”

“No.”

**Ich glaub* aber docli.”

“No, ich war bloss in Milwaukee.”

I Rote, blaue und gelbe Couverte bringt der Postmeister nun regelmaessig und zu einer Zeit, wenn man keine von Milwaukee erwarten wuerde.

Der Winter kam auf einmal mit Macht, und wir waren ungeschuetzt vor seinem Schnee. Herr Vogel wollte haben, Herr Schuetze solle uns schuetzen, aber er'ging nicht durch. Herr Reich ging auch nicht durch. Hier draussen brauchen wir einen gewaltigen Schneekoenig, der in Wind und Wetter sein Feld behaupten kann. Herr Stier Kettenacker bewies sich schliesslich faehig und ging (lurch.

Wiederum haben wir etwas Neues erlebt. Danksagungstagferien haben wir zum ersten Mai gehabt. Am Freitag- nach E)anksagungslag1 versammelte sich naemlich die Fakultaet des Seminars zu St. Louis mit unserer Fakultaet zu einer Besprechung. So hatten wir vier Tage frei. Alsbald zerstreuten wir uns dann auch in alle Himmelsrichtungen.

Das “basketball team” hat sich kuerzlich auch organisiert. Umein wenig Uebung zu bekommen spielte es mit Thiensville A. A. Die Seminaristen holten sich 101 und Thiensville 20. Herr Pless sagt, die Watertowner sollen sich in Acht nehmen.

Nun geht es gleich in die Weihnachtsferien. Weil viele von uns Arbeit vor Weihnachten bekommen koennen, haben die Studenten mit Erlaubnis der Fakultaet beschlossen, am 12. Dezember zu schliessen und die ausfallenden Stunden jetzt und nach Neujahr einzuholen. Wahrscheinlich werden wir Samstage benutzen.

Forehliche Weihnacht!

ALUMNI ~yOn November 23 occured the golden jubilee celebration of the ordination of the Reverend Professor August O. Pieper, *76, of our Theological Seminary at Thiensville. Services were held in the Seminary chapel. The Reverend G. Bergemann, '85, of Fond du Lac and the Reverend Henry Knuth, ’85, of Milwaukee, deliv­ ered the jubilee sermons. All the children of Professor Pieper, the students of the Seminary, the faculty, and friends from various parts of the United States joined in the celebration. On November 27 a family reunion took place at the home of Professor Heper’s 201

son, the Reverend Paul Pieper, ’09，of Milwaukee. Among those present were the Reverend Gerhard Pieper, ’09，of Fond du Lac, the Reverend Leonard Kirst, ’03，and Mrs. Kirst, a daughter of Professor Pieper, of Beaber Dam, the Reverend F. Stern, ’07，of Watertown, and the Reverend B. Lange, ’18，of South Springs, South Dakota.

—At the Wisconsin-Minnesota football game on No vember 22 were seen the Reverend A. Sauer, ’02, and family of Winona, Min­ nesota, who came to Madison to visit Philip Sauer, ’29, who is at­ tending the University of Wisconsin. From there the party went to Thiensville to visit Alfred Sauer, ’29, at the Seminary.

—Elwood Westphal, Com. ’30, of Jefferson, Wisconsin, is at pres­ ent doing bookkeeping for the Habhegger Cold Storage Plant in Watertown.

—On November 16 members of the Seminary faculty and of the faculty of Northwestern 1College went to Milwaukee to hear the Chicago Bach Chorus. In.the afternoon the dedication of the Concordia College gymnasium took place. At both events the students of our institution were well represented.

—Roger Melendy, academy, ’30，spent several days with his former classmates al Northwestern.

l 獅疋财 In our present Freshman class, we have a heterogeneous wealth of material. Let the following statistics prove that statement. The members of the class are well-behaved, as a whole. Yet there are exceptions. At least we have the sum total of 81 marks to date.

In the dormitory, some are bad, some good. We have three or four classmates who haven’t had as much as one permission to go out, while others have four every month, and sometimes six or 202

seven. Only two individuals have tasted the bitter gall of proba­ tion. If one person had all the probations at once, it would termi­ nate after six months. Or if each night of probation represented a dollar bill, there would be enough money to support one Fresh­ man for a scholastic year. But let us leave this somewhat dolorous subject.

In sports we are very well represented. For the football team we had ten and for basketball sixteen aspirants of the eighteen in the class; an excellent average, to be sure. We can be proud of eight above-the-average pianists, and two or three who are still “aborning as virtuosos. We have two members in the band, four in the orchestra, and ten in the chorus, which shows that we are better with our mouths than with our fingers. These are only a few of the most outstanding and characteristic qualities of our Freshman class; more will be furnished on request.

An item that should interest those among us who are at all musically inclined is the series of concerts sponsored by the Luth­ eran High School of Milwaukee. Our own band is also scheduled to appear in the course of this year’s concert season, on February 15, 1931. A number of students attended two concerts already given this season, that of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Mil­ waukee and that of the Chicago Bach Chorus. Of these two the latter proved the great cr attraction and, according to reports, it was surely well w ortli tthe trip. Bach, who is revered as the cornpo.ser of our finest Lutheran church music, is really entitled to more prominent place in our Lutheran circles than has generally been accorded him heretofore.

The season of activity for the literary societies will be officially opened on December 16. The first program is to be dedicated to the Latin poet Virgil. Since Virgil’s bimillennial anniversary is being observed this year, it is but fitting that we, who have studied liini or are still lo study him in the future, should also thus show our appreciation lor what he has given the literary world.

A general subject of last month’s exchanges was Thanksgiving and how to observe it in the right spirit. With Christmas, a more joyful season, so close at hand we naturally turn our thoughts forward.

We see by the “Stoutonia” of November 28, that Count Felix von Luckner, the famous German “Sea Devil" is to tell his thrill­ ing war experiences at Menomonie on December S. The “Capital Chimes” of November 12 is interesting. The ^Cap­ ital Chimes” is running a series of articles by two graduates who are attending the University of Edinburg. The authors tell us that those who believe that at the European universities “everybody is supremely dignified and nothing is allowed to interrupt that con­ stant, serious effort to satisfy the inner passion for knowledge” have a mistaken picture of these universities. They go on to show us that the students at Edinburg are as “Collegiate” as those in our American schools.

The “Stoutonia” of November 28 gives us a few ideas on the talkies used for educational purposes : ^Picture, if you can, a group of students in one of our own shops or laboratories listening and watching a fellow student reciting in a far-off school in California, or watching some eminent professor demonstrating or explaining the intricacies of the human mind by means of animated drawings in a great eastern medical school. See them describe the mechanics of an airplane or the chemical reaction of some noted experiment;.”

We notice that in many schools instructors who have made 204

European tours hold lectures, giving the students a picture of Euro­ pean life and customs. We also have men who have travelled.

Couldn’t a few lectures be arranged so that students not having the opportunity to “go see for themselves” may gain a picture of Euro­ pean life?

Now since this is the Freshman number we do not wish to add too much of our own feeble efforts, and so we disappear until after the Christmas holidays.

慮Mtncs Carroll 55; Northwestern 16 Waukesha, Dec. 6.—In the opening tilt of the basketball sea­ son, Northwestern was dealt a thorough defeat by Carroll, 55-16, in a one-sided game. The famous Hinckley-Vander Meullen com­ bination which was a deciding factor for Carroll last year in cop­ ping the championship honors, lost no time in getting under way and forged ahead to a comfortable lead in short order. Their fast­ clicking team work proved too much for the Northwestern guards.

Hinckley, flashy Pioneer forward, slipped past the Northwestern defense fc 19 points. Vander Meullen, the lanky center, who played 一 for over the heads of all the players by virtue of his colossal stature, located the hoop for 20 points, complacently tipping in pot-shots off the rebound for most of his counters. The score at the half was 19-8.

In the second half the Pioneers broke into a rally when the fast work of the first period began to tell on Northwestern men.

205

Harke broke through the air-tight Carroll defense to register 11 points for the Black and Reds.

It was some time before the Teachers found the hoop, but after they once scored, the lead kept fluctuating from one side to the other. Ragged ball was displayed by both teams during the first period by inaccurate passing and falling short on open short shots, defects which will be remedied with time and experience. The— Teachers trailed at the half, 8-7.

The visitors came back with renewed vigor the second period set on victory, thus effecting greater speed and accuracy on both sides. Finding the Northwestern defense impenetrable, they resorted to long shots. Both teams scored an equal number of points during.the second half. The outcome of the encounter hung in the balance till the game was concluded by the gun. During the last five minutes alone, the score was tied four times. The winning basket was tapped in 1)y Krueger, who played a stellar game at for­ ward and took first place in the scoring honors with 9 points. Capt.

Raasch distinguished himself by consistent floor work and close guarding. Leitzke was high scorer for the Teachers.

What a fuss a few chicken pox can start. “Bobby” Reim and Zimmermann were the first to succumb. They were immediately moved to the sick room and their roommates were isolated from the rest of the students for two days. During this time most of the clothing was washed, steamed, or pressed. The roonis were thoroughly cleaned, scrubbed, and disinfected. Since none of the unclean” could raise a temperature above 98, they were allowed to return to their room after a two day exile. Radloff regrets the fact that the “Babylonian Captivity,M as he termed it, was over so soon.

He did not quite finish his thesis on “Qua de causa gallinae-poces erumpant.” *'Where is my coat, shirt, and tie?” was the cry that went up on second and third floor one morning. The coats had mysteriously disappeared during the night. Some one very enthusiastic about the Indian Mission had gathered them up and deposited them in room 18. What’s next!

207

Hagedom has a new way of celebrating a birthday. He smoked a package of cigarettes on his eighteenth. We wonder that he did not get sick. Maybe he smoked occasionally before.

Old man winter is playing a dirty trick on a few preps. They have engaged in snow shoveling- jobs for the winter. But how can they shovel without any snow.

Rossin, Baumann, and Zimpelmann had their Thanksgiving goose at Hans Schultz’s home at Milwaukee. Martin, Gentz and “Bingo” went to Kenosha for theirs. We did not have to go that far. Our goose was served in the dining hall.

All right, Wisconsin beat Minnesota! That's that!

Many students who are musically inclined went to Milwaukee to hear the Bach chorus on November sixteenth, and a concert by Paderewski, the seventy year old pianist, on December eighth.

How is this for an ideal situation : a moonlight night, Fort Atkinson, and Harold Warlike ?

Hoepner’s scrubbing squad challenges any other group in the building to a clean-up contest. They are in fine trim since they had to scrub their room and the big bed room on the second floor as a punishment for letting Herder get the chicken pox.

The thing is, does Vertz pay full tuition ? Sometimes we wonder.

“Bingo,” our football captain for next year, does not believe that George Washington was such an honest man after all. Why must all the banks be closed on his birthday?

Some Quintaners must remember that fallen arches are no ex­ cuse for bumming classes. Of course, if you have “testitis，” “com， pitis,” “impraeparatia，” or the most common disease among us “pigr丨tia,” that’s different.

Since this is the Freshman number, we will dedicate a portion of this column to them. Believe it or not, but the following are Freshmen with their ambitions, aspirations, or weaknesses.

Bentert, the future editor of the “College Humor.”

Bolle is a proof that the German proverl) ought to read: Der Apfel rollt oft weit vom Stamm.

Geiger, as his name implies, is a great fiddler. He, however, does not like to play second fiddle.

Gentz spends his Sunday afternoons quietly reading Butcher and Lang’s translation of Homer’s Odyssey.

Hackbarth believes that the only tie that really binds is a railroad tie.

Hotlen, the disciple of Socrates.

Kiefer wird mal ein guter Geschaeftsmann.

CX Lemke, why is thy face so red ?

M. Lemke, Milwaukee—That’s my weakness now!

208

R. Lemke speeds through the streets of Watertown at 10 miles per.

Moser, a representative of the wild and woolly West.

Nicolaus loses permanent wave in rainstorm.

Raabe hat immer noch Kopp schmerzen.

Scheck and double check.

Schewe. It’s against the law to say anything against the presi­ dent, therefore— Schultz is still contemplating on majoring in Greek.

Siegler has the reputation of being the best skate sharpener in the northwest.

Since Bobby Jones has retired, Stiemke has a chance.

Tiefel is the class walking stick.

Toppe. Should he have been a mallard ?

F. Weyland remains as the only hope for a “Roads” scholarship.

R. Wcyland, the pest to the “Hello Girls/* Wicke, Help! Help! Help!

Zimpelmann—the name is sufficient unto itself.

Doc Wright made his degree as Dr. of Stultology.

(ttn-iEii Not很 The Co-eds arc eagerly awaiting the opening meeting of the literary societies. We understand the programme is to be made up entirely of male talent.

The committees have been appointed for the annual party of the Prep and College girls.

Entertainment.—Gladys Hallet, Lillian Lutovsky, Helen Naumann, Elizabeth Stern, Mabel Zimmermann.

Refreshments.—La Verne Zorr, Gertrude Naumann, Lillian Trapp, Adele Nommenson.

Many of the girls have voiced their opinions about the article appearing in the Black and Red concerning the shortening of the noon hour. Everyone believes it is impossible for the girls to get here sooner than they now do.

Gertrude Naumann went to Milwaukee to hear Paderewski; Alice Bentzin, to see Dracula.

Eugenia Meyer spent Thanksgiving day in Milwaukee. 、 Glenna Rasmussen entertained a group of Northwestern Col­ lege students over Thanksgiving.

Gertrude Koehn spent Thanksgiving day with Lillian Trapp at the latter’s home in Hartland.

A number of the girls are working in the shops to earn their Christmas money.

209

The Boston tea-party will have nothing on a tea party which we expect. One of the Co-eds received a hammered brass tea set for a Christmas present.

The Co-eds are sorry they are going to lose one of their group.

Mildred Buck is not returning to Northwestern after the Christmas holidays. The Co-eds extend to her their good wishes for a pleas­ ant journey and assure her she will be missed very much.

At the last gym period before Christmas vacation the girls tried out a new game called Hand Tennis. It is a mixture of tennis, hockey, scrambling and crawling over the floor. After fifteen minutes of the new game, which was played after the baseball game, the girls decided they had more than enough exercise.

Introducing the Freshman Co-eds: Gewecke: Gewech: Nein, bitte bleibe noch ein bischcn.

Wegner: How she can roll that basket ball.

Nack: She has a “nack” for everything.

Meyer: Diets in history hour.

Pearsal: She can bowl.

Kopp: A woman can’t serve two masters either.

Koehn: Poop-poop-a-doop.

Rasmussen: This younger generation.

Schroeter: Nominee for Miss ’34.

Herro: Source material for oriental history.

The first joke to be sprung, I suppose, should be the usual, “This is the Freshman Number, help! help!”

And that reminds me. When a sextaner heard that this should be the Freshman Number, he asked me when we would put out the Scxta Number.

On a cold morning the entire Freshman class poured into a classroom and rushed for the radiators. The incensed professor remarked: **Take your seats, please; it’s how you think of it. If you think it’s warm, you will be warm.”

•At first the entire class murmured. No one seemed audacious enough to refute the statement of the professor. Finally, however, one voice spoke up very defiantly. It was the voice of Gentz asking: "May we take our coats off, professor?”， 氺本本

The professor indignantly exclaimed: “There’s a student in this class who's making a fool of himself. Hem-hem, now when he’s finished, hem, I’ll begin!” 木本

♦

Prof, (in Latin class): “What is the difference between the two forms, amat and amet, Weyland?” .“Ikey” Weyland, suddenly aroused from one of his telepathies, which had placed him across the campus: “Yes.” Prof.: Yes, what?”

“Ikey” ： “Yes, Sir!”

^ 兔成 j Who，d ha’ Thunk It?

Prof.: “What does “profane” mean?”

Adele: “To make dirty.”

Prof.: “Well, yes, in a way, but you’d better use it in a sen­ tence to show more clearly that you understand the word.”

Adele: “I profaned my hands yesterday.”

“By the way, Rudy, what is the favorite phrase of College stu­ dents Rudy: “I—ah一really don’t know.”

“Correct,” and I walked on. 本 * With a complacent smile Wicke sat down in his seat after hav­ ing written a Latin sentence on the blackboard, when the professor remarked: “I see one little mistake in that sentence. Look closely, Mr. Wicke.”

Wicke (humbly): “The dot on the “i” in the word “nuptia” is too large.” 氺 * Get Out! Siegler returned from a visit to his home with a black eye.

After many had commented upon it, Raabc was insolent enough to inquire directly what his black eye was from. Siegler answered 'Why, that’s my birthmark, I got into the wrong berth last night.” " 木氺氺 The following are a few excerpts from examination papers: This battle prevented Napoleon from becoming “Queen o£ the Seas.”

Napoleon won the battle of Husterlitz. The neutral nations finely (finally) became discussed at him.

The Congress of Vienna gathered to arrange pieces.

The manorical party ruled.

One of Shakespeare’s sources was the “Jest of Roman Oram” (Gesta Romanorum). * Hackbarth: “What did you get in your Greek exam?”

Bentert: “Oil, I got a swell exam; but you should have seen what the professor got.”

The Third Sex Statistics show that of the thirty-five members of the Freshman class ten are women and only twelve are men. The other thirteen wear knickers.

THE BLACK AND RED Volume XXXIV.

Watertown, Wis., Jan. 1930

Number 8

Entered at the Postoffice nt Wot ertown. Wis., as second class matter under Act of March 3,1879. Published monthly. Subscription, One Dollar.

MEDITATION Once as I left a throbbing town As night was coming on, The Hat disk of the sun sank down, Down to a ruddy grave.

The crescent moon was hanging low, Low in a golden sky.

The planets burned with steady glow With borrowed light of Sol. Then other suns, so far away, Gleamed as mere points of light, The myriad stars, that hide by day, Except at rare eclipse.

As darkness stole across the sky Now bright with many jewels, The Galaxy shone fair on high, The glorious Milky Way. This diamond girdle I could see Around the neighb’ring stars.

And farther yet the nebulae 213

ir :

Shone with a misty light, The frames of other worlds perhaps With stars and planets too.

These fancies bold the mind entraps, When once it starts to soar.

How small we are, how great the world, Thought cannot e’en perceive!

And yet for us this all was hurled, Hurled into curved space!

This speck of life to Gocl is dear, Dear why we do not know.

To us some day all will be clear, This stills a longing soul.

H. K.，，33.

ARTISTRY “Don’t you know, Jean, you talk too queerly ? You can’t go through life with your dreams expecting to live. You’re not liv­ ing, you’re only dreaming and this fancy of yours is even more queer than the others. This idea of living people’s lives with them, of being able to see whether or not they arc happy一It’s absurd.’.’ ‘‘Yes，’’ I thought, “you can jolly well go on with your talking for all the good it will do. ” Aloud I protested, *'I live in my dreams. They are more real to me than life—more vital, at any rate. They have more power to move me than any act of life. I sometimes wonder if I am quite sane. I live so detached from the 'yorld. I am immune to what happens to me in reality and I can listen quite calmly when I hear others whisper, ”She’s not all right, you kno'v.” I am harmless, of course, so no one is afraid of me, at least not yet. At present my interest is with Mr. Lane. I see him coming. I wish, Nancy, you would leave me now—alone with him.”

“Very well, I shall, Jean. But how did you happen to choose him? You say you choose only unhappy people ancl surely Mr. Lane is apparently as happy as anyone can be. He is doing well m liis shop, his wife is a clear and their baby is perfectly adorable.

To be sure he is slightly grotesque occasionally, because of what he calls his art, but hardly unhappy. Well—I’ll go, but remember sometime you may find you are not so entirely detached from life.”

“He is, as you say, apparently happy. That is all you can see.

You are of the world and that for you and for most people is suffi­ cient. Perhaps it is well thus. I can see deeper. I may feel more keenly than you. I know he is unhappy. Yes, go quickly now, for he is coming to see me. Good-gye, Nancy.”

^:Hell | (Jean aloud to herself: “See，he comes down the street with a swinging stride, easily, without effort, but his head is not lifted into the skies. He carries a cane well. I wish more men did.”

“Hello, Alan. Nancy just left. Ah, yes, of course, you do not know Miss Stanley. However, no matter. We were talking about you. Sit down, please. I want to look at you to see if you have changed. I am glad you have thrown off your hat. You are so much better looking- with your wavy hair and far more com• fortable without your hat. Your tie is pretty, the color of your eyes. She did choose it for you ? You need not blush, she has very good taste. Your suit has been cleaned and pressed. That is well. I see the cream spot you have had for so long came out entirely. Those shoes are new. They hurt your feet. I can see you are wriggling vour ) toes. You would like to take off your shoes, and you dare not. Conventions—how stupid they are. Your hands are moving well today. You have really a nice discrimina­ tion for the artistic. You move your hands just enough so one can see the suppleness. The strength of the fingers. Only so close an observer as I can see the subtle pose. Your lips are twitching.

You are sensitive. Nonsense! You're hard ;you think only of yourself. You don’t like me to talk as I do; that is why your lips are twitching. Drink that tea. I have made it fresh for you. One talks so mucii more easily at tea. Your eyes are enchanting. They look so devotedly at me, although I am somewhat frank with you.

That, my dear Alan, is the fault of having brown eyes. Blue eyes may be steely or piercing, black eyes merry or wells of darkness, but brown eyes ? bro'vn cyea are rarely anything but amiable, lov­ ing eyes. What! you are not leaving- already, are you? But I understand perfectly. Your wife will be anxiously waiting supper for you. You fool; you forget that when you made this engage­ ment you told me your wife was in the city, at her mother’s, and would not return until late tomorrow. However—no matter— good-bye Alan. You kiss my hand ? The courtier, you make an artistic farewell. I presume I shall not see you alone again.

“Poor Alan Lane. And yet some one had to do it. The last years he has been growing more and more unhappy. And why?

Because sometime, somewhere in his life he was told he was artistic. Perhaps he wrote a poem or a story or two. He believes all that keeps him from being a great artist is lack of time. He forgets that insidious comfortableness of his life hinders him. In his mind he has been living on his laurels. He married. * His un­ bearable ego made it hard to live with him. I knew last week, by the way he talked about his wife’s visit, that she had come near the end of her patience. I made this engagement with him. He had his suit cleaned and pressed. How thrilling for him to have an affair with a beautiful woman even if she were a bit queer. For an 215

artist, that would in fact heighten the interest. It has been hard on him. Still he made that last gesture. Ah, these poor people!

They live in a hazy, nebulous world of their own. They are hurt.

Someone must kiss away their pain. Then on一on again back to their eternal dream life. I, the dreamer, see through their dreams.

Nancy was right. After all I am not so detached. It’s harder each time to send them away—Mary, suicide―Jack Elliot, success­ ful composer~Muriel, happily married—and now Alan Lane, but he will be all right, his wife is there. And I?—God一how lone­ some life is for me. Only my voice lovely, haunting—’’ B. F. THE CRIMINAL Everybody in the crowded court-room stood with mouth agape to hear the decision of the jury, which had just stepped into its box.

For a whole week the little court-house had been thronged to ca­ pacity by the townspeople to hear the case of the State against Miss Mathilda Adelstane, accused of the murder of John Blake, her uncle. Six months ago the peaceful community had been stirred to its depths by this murder. And today the jury was to return the verdict.

“We find the defendant not guilty because of insufficient evi­ dence,w declared the foreman.

“Why, it’s just as plain as can be，” grumbled Joe Grundy to liis. neighbor. “Just because she is good-looking, they let her slip by with it. Now, if I had done it they would have had me hanged.”

“I suppose she thought she would get a lot of money from him，but I guess he didn’t leave any,” whispered his companion.

While similar gossip was going on, the case was dismissed by the dignified old judge. Miss Adelstane, wearied and strained by the trial, left the court-house as quickly as possible.

The events of the scandalous affair would soon have been forgotten, had not a new incident occurred, entirely unexpected by the town. Only a week had passed after the trial, when the name of Miss Adelstane again occupied the headline of the four-page local paper. The headline read: “Lady，recently acquitted, to marry.” ..Jack Roberts, the man to whom she was engaged to be ma,rried, had been a widower for three years now ancl he had no chil­ dren. He was a middle-aged man held in high esteem in the conim‘unity. For the last ten years he had made a comfortable living, working for McNiel and Randall, druggists.

Gossip again was rife.

“Wonder what she’s up to now,” queried the proprietor of the general store, as he was waiting on a customer.

216

“Yes, and him such a fine man too,” answered Farmer Jones, “he’ll find out his mistake soon enough.”

“I even heard he helped pay for her lawyer, but lie’s always been so kind-hearted; that’s always been his weakness anyway/* answered another.

Not only did the people talk behind Jack Roberts' back, but many friends warned him that such a union would inevitably have bad results.

As his best friend put it: “She may have escaped the punish­ ment of men, but she will not escape the punishment of God. Mark my words, you will greatly repent this some clay.” But to the sur­ prise of his friends, Roberts was very firm in the matter. His only answer was that he had made up his mind to marry her and that he would stick to his decision. _ Within a fortnight the pair were married by the Justice of the Peace. They established their residence in a small house on the outskirts of the town. But their peace was of short duration.

Mr. McNiel, Jack’s employer, was a religious fanatic. So when he heard of Jack’s marriage to Miss Adelstane, his religious zeal was immediately aroused. He called Jack and told him that his next check should also be his last one from him.

At first Jack did not even realize his misfortune. He had a little money left in the bank and surely he would soon find another job. But as he turned from one place to another, he soon noticed the difference between l)diig popular and unpopular. All of his old friends had deserted him and he now stood alone with his wife, social outcasts, like black sheep in the fold.

Thus passed the first year of their married life. During the next summer Jack became sick; an incurable disease, said the doc­ tor. At the same time the doctor informed him that he had but one more year to live. The amount of money in the bank was rapidly dwindling, now that they were forced to pay doctor’s bills besides. Jack and Mrs. Roberts skimped along as best they could Oil very frugal fare. Within two months Jack was compelled to r in bed, while it took his wife’s every effort to keep him cheerand hopeful.

Only a few months later Jack died. During the following summer Mrs. Roberts was just able to make both ends meet. But in the next winter she exposed herself to the severe cold more than her already delicate health could withstand. She became sick with pneumonia, which soon proved to be her last sickness.

After her death an officer searched the house to see if he could find the address of some relative. In an old, rusty box he found a letter addressed to an attorney who practiced law in a town twenty miles away. The letter read: “Since you always took care of my father’s business, I am asking you also to take care of mine. Yes217

terday I accidentally severely injured or killed a man. If I should be suspected, I will immediately send this letter and request you to take charge of my case.

Sincerely, Jack Roberts.”

HOMO PERPETUO “Peace,” whispered the zephyrs through the elm leaves of Lincoln Park. “Peace” the white puffs of clouds impressed on the imagination as they floated across the calm blue. “Peace” trilled the robin in the maple.

With a sigh of languor Mrs. Lane arose and stretched herself.

On the turf near her dozed her oldest son, lazily chewing a wisp of grass.

“I was just reading about Rev. Bailey’s sermon,” said Mrs. Lane. “He says that from now on peace will reign in the world.

What a joy it is to think of it!” She let the paper slip from her hands, threw out her arms, and drank in the odor wafted from the rosebed near by.—“Oh, I must see what Bob1)ie is doing. Bobbie!

—Isn’t it time for you to go, Tom?” The youth lazily raised one arm to his chest, half-opened his eyes, and drawled, “Yeah.” He gradually erected himself and be­ gan to shuffle over to his helicopter plane.

“Here I am, muzzer!” cried little Bobbie as he scampered through the trees, his yellow locks flying into his happy eyes.

“Muzzer, I just saw a big fish!” lie panted. “Do you know what, muzzer ? He jumped right out of the water! Muzzer, I didn’t know a fish could—Muzzer!—Oh! Muzzer! Muzz—” “Bobbie! Bobbie! Bob, Bob—B—”.

“Good God!” Tom snapped on his gas mask. Br-r-r-r! He looked up. Forty planes roared past six thousand feet over his head. Stunned by this lightning stroke, then electrified by the danger, he bounded to his mother. Too late! She lay on her side, grasping a tuft of grass in one hand. Not three feet from her little Bobbie lay with his face turned up.

Poison gas! Tom knelt as though transfixed. His eyes bulged at the mother, at the child, at the swiftly disappearing planes. A curse strangled in his throat, but leaped from his eyes to the specks off in the blue.

“Mother!—Bobbie! Moth一” The sound of shots in the distance struck him from his nightmare. War! He is an aviator in the U. S. Aerial Army! He must go! Two fists struck two eyes. Teeth snapped together and 218

1 shut in the fury boiling up from the chest. Danger! The mind tore the body from the dead to the plane near by.

Tom jerked open the door. Wild fingers grasped the radio­ phones. “Report to stations at once! Russia declared war ninethirty this morning! Sixteen hundred planes on the way from Canada!一Report to stations at—” One lever went down, another up. The pistons began to whir.

Tom shut the door and shot straight up in two minutes to a height of thirty thousand feet. He turned south toward the city.

Two seconds later —tight fingers on the controls quivered, then retightened. “Mother!”一“Bobbie!” The fingers trembled. “O God!” A hand slipped off the lever—finger nails dug into the palm. The machine fell six thousand feet. Fear clutched the mind. A curse hurtled from the lips. The hand again grabbed the lever and the plane swerved up past a cloud.

But now the swift danger of war tore the mind tortures into the blue. Nine seconds—two lines in the forehead almost vanished.

Tom shifted slightly in his seat. Twelve seconds—what's this ?

A black shadow Hashed past the prososcope. The enemy! A red plane dropped like a plummet twelve thousand feet through the blue.一The air raid on Milwaukee!—The heart pounded against a wallet. Six seconds—four black planes were maneuvering to send three red ones forty-thousand feet to destruction. A Patterson Pur­ suer zoomed past Tom. He glanced at his watch; it was ten after five. War had been declared at nine-thirty.

A black mass shoots overhead. Veering, swerving, roaring destruction一over the Boston Store, over the Wisconsin Theatre, over the Wells building! The sky is alive, alive with black planes, with red planes, with flaming planes!

Nimble fingers play with a machine gun. The body leans for­ ward. A Gorsky fighter circles Tom’s machine. The latter shoots to the right, curves up, whizzes back. The Russian ducks, flashes past Lane’s tail. Rr-rrr! Blood trickles down an arm. The American's right wing jerks down—is righted—down again—Tom slumps in his seat一A red fighter zigzags past to his death.—Tom straightens up again.—The helicopter drops vertically for eight thousand feet, rises again two thousand, falls more slowly, blood soaks a hand, the other strains—the plane wobbles down fast, slows a little, the left hand struggles with the lever,—four thousand feet, down, still zigzagging, fifteen hundred feet, down, a building looms up,一the plane turns painfully—down—it crashes on a street car, topples off.

Screams—a child is crushed.―Tom struggles out—only stunned; he revives.—Second and Wisconsin Avenue! He staggers across the sidewalk into a store front. He leans against the glass and looks out into the street.

Horror! A child screams past him, grasps its mother's coat, falls dead. Gas! The mother shrieks, falls back, crashes her head on the pavement.

Tom is trapped! His plane is wrecked! But his mask pro­ tects him from the fumes.—Three men, a fourth, dozens—beat their unseeing eyes, dash their heads against the street car, against a building, against each other—Ophthalmigas!—“Mother!”一*'Joseph!’’一“God!’’一Men and women shrieking, 'holding their stom­ achs一raging, cursing, going mad! Gastric vapors.

Tom can’t move!—His mask guards him from all gases.—He clings to a show-window edge, his eyes are bewitched, they turn wildly from dead to dying to dead—Out of Ginibel’s windows, out of windows in the Arcade—out hurtled choking humanity to a quicker end! ' A street car filled with living death一motorman blinded, a cripple’s head cut off by the wheels. The street is blocked with stifling bodies—Tom’s enchanted eyes look to the right—the bridge—tearing of hair, cursing—splash!—splash ! Unable to live in the air, they grasp death in the water!—A black monster blazes down from the sky, strikes the bridge, breaks it down, a shapeless mass of bodies plunges into the river!

Tom, unhurt, must see all! Certain death to more, probable death here!

A small black object plunges from the sky—another—on all sides一the Trust Company trembles, totters, crashes across the river! Destructive bombs now added to the fury! The forty-story Peace Building rumbles一leans一falls over busses, cars, men, women, children! Flying bricks, thundering walls—ruin!—waving arms, maddened eyes, crashing planes―chaos!—burning lungs, splinter­ ing of teeth on cement, curses, wails, gasping shrieks—annihilation ! 一A fragment of rock flies into the spectator's temple.-----The next afternoon in a bed in the Columbia Hospital a young man opened his eyes. ^Nurse! Where am I? —Jimmy!—Gas!—’’ “Here, quit your raving. You were among the few dozen res­ cued from the carnage yesterday. The Russians were beaten off, but at least two-hundred thousand were killed. I guess you were just stunned.”

Two hours later Tom walked out of the building. All was calm outside. There was no sound of guns, of bombs, of yells. He blinked several times, looked around, then shook himself. What a nightmare! No, he has not been dreaming, for there is a bandage on his head.

A sudden inspiration sent him to a flying field near by, where he obtained a plane and sped to Lincoln Park. He landed and jumped out. For a moment he stood and gazed about.

It was just as peaceful as yesterday. Above him the deep blue 220

was unspotted. A bee hummed past his ear. To his right the oak leaves rustled. On his left across the river a meadow lark flitted over the bushes. But ahead!

In two leaps Tom was at the side of the^ quiet forms. His mother lay as she had fallen, the tuft of grass in her hand. Bobbie, too, sprawled in death near by, his smiling face turned to heaven.

Tom sank to his knees beside the child. He tenderly took the chubby fingers into his. Then he stooped low to kiss the forehead, when a gust of wind blew into her face the newspaper which the mother had dropped. Tom stared—then fell across the body. What his eyes had seen were the preacher’s words: “In the world there now reigns peace.

THE OLD CITY AROUND THE ROUGH AND READY DAM When one stood on the top of Richard's Hill near the Octagon House fifty years ago wliat did one see? Was it the lazy picturesque countryside we see today? Hard as it may be to believe, there lay at the foot of the hill a rather busy little city then.

The Rock River, of course, was there, but it was narrower than it is today, and its banks were thickly lined with trees. The bridge that spanned it and connected the old plank road was a one-way wooden one. The dam that held it was also wooden and three feet lower than the present concrete dam.

At the foot of the hill, at the intersection of Concord and Oconomowoc Avenues stood the Boston House. This tavern, saloon, and dance hall in those days of slow transportation was a jolly place, for travellers between Madison and Milwaukee found it a handy place to stop at for the night.

Directly to the east of this tavern just at the bridge was a general store, and east of the bridge, where the Green Bowl now is, was the Prochaszka vegetable garden, the only one of its kind. It was also a favorite picnic ground for the townspeople. Today the grandchildren of those pioneers, Anton and Wenzel Prochaszka still conduct a vegetable garden on the little hill across the street from the original one. In those days, however, a brewery stood on the knoll that their house now occupies. Just east of this brewery, in the old house that Whalen’s used for cider making and which they tore down just last spring, was a grocery store.

Looking back to the river at the dam below the hill, one saw a flour mill where the present power house stands, and directly across the river was the sawmill owned and operated by John Richards. The country around was wooded and the mills of the town sawed all year round.

A short distance down the river to the north was the furniture factory and turning shop of Peter May. North of this was an oil mill, a large frame two-story building- built by Herbert Smith.

Where Mr. Keck’s home now stands, Philip Heitzmann was manufacturing spinning wheels, for women then used them for more than ornamental furniture. Across the street from that was a blacksmith shop.

Nothing of these factories remains, not even ruins. Time is indeed a devourer of things.

WHAT，S IN A UNIFORM? One of the better magazines printed an article not so long ago which ridiculed the wearing of uniforms. The author seemed to regard the whole thing as a farce. One must admit that uniforms are being overdone, but in this as in everything else one must use a happy medium.

A theater is much more attractive where there are ushers with yards of gold braid and with brass buttons than one where there are ushers in plain clothes—if there are any at all. Don’t you feel much more like eating when you enter a restaurant in which there are waitresses in crisp, fresh dresses which harmonize with the entire make-up of the room? It makes one feel as if the food which is served is clean, and that back-stage, in the kitchen, there are chefs with white aprons and caps, and with clean hands. It would be impossible to think of a hospital without nurses in immaculate white uniforms and doctors in spotless white jackets. To us there is something lacking in a minister who does not wear his simple gown on the pulpit. One could mention hundreds of occupations in which a mere uniform does much towards making busi­ ness a success.

But、yhy go so far away for material ? Plenty of material can be found in college life. Take, for instance, a football game. The game in itself may be interesting enough. But flashy jerseys and socks, bright, shining leather helmets, and clean new knickers make it much more exciting. And doesn’t an official who comes on the field with a clean pair of white knickers and a white shirt make you feel that he knows just a little bit more about the game than one who comes on the field with no pretense of a uniform?

The same thing is true of basketball games. It gives one a thrill to see the players enter the gym in gay-colored suits, to the cheer leaders with their megaphones and elaborate outfits, to see the officials in their uniforms. It makes one get more excited and feel more like cheering. These things seem to belong to the game.

222

.

And the band! I get a thrill every time I see one marching along the street, everyone in step, everyone wearing a snappy uni­ form. A uniform would even be a big help to a poor band. But a good band with uniforms! It makes one think of soldiers, and there is many a girl who looked at the uniform firstâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and then at the man.

Where a class graduates, the cap and gown makes the graduation exercises much more impressive. It seems to enhance the solemnity of the occasion. I am sure that everyone of the graduates is proud of the cap and gown which he is wearing, because it is an honor.

So why condemn a thing entirely? When one really stops to think of it, most things are being overdone. One must just show common sense in this ns in everything else.

A SUGGESTION In nearly every “Black ancl Red” there is one article, which brings to the students’ attention how mediocre their magazine is.

What the articles fail to do is to offer any kind of solution.

To begin with, there is no reason why the “Black and Red** should not be, at least, intelligently written and more interesting.

The Classical education, which we have here, has produced the greatest writers, artists, and thinkers the world has known. It seems to have left Northwestern students cold.

Possibly one of the faults is that the students do not do enough voluntary reading, outside of class, in books which have fired minds with ideals and ambitions for centuries. It behooves a college stu­ dent to read as many good books as he can.

Another fault is that it is not considered a thing of importance to anyone outside of the staff, whether or not the “Slack and Red” is any good. If we are going to put out any magazine at all, each one of us should take so much pride in his college as to make it the best magazine of which he is capable. If he will not write him­ self he should be of that mental attitude that he encourages those, who will do something, with that same feeling of regard, which he cherishes when he cheers for his college on the athletic field.

If a constructive public opinion were formed at college it

224

would be possible to offer at the end of each year an honor roll of the best and most constructive articles, poems, and stories. If a con­ structive mental attitude is formed by each student it might give rise to an impulse, that students would write and do their best to make the honor roll. The only way to form a mental attitude is for each student to make it his duty as a fellow who has school spirit to cultivate it.

FOUNTAINS Why have epidemics in our school ? No one enjoys being sick neither does he particularly lake pleasure in the expectation―of acquiring- the disease, T mean. And the most important. Who unexpectedly likes to leave his school and town and dear ol’ books several days or weeks early, and go home just on account of an avoidable contagion ? No one. Why, I should say not. Just think of all the hours we’d loose. All those who would, say aye.

I hope they’re all dumb. And just think, some poor fellows who fall victims to it, and whose parents are unable to call for them, must stay here most or all of the vacation. It’s a shame.

What’s the cause of it? Plain, common, ordinary pitchers, water pitchers, drinking pitchers. Who can be immune to insigni­ ficant or serious contagious diseases when everyone drinks out of everyone else’s pitcher ? They very often don’t even remember which side of the pitcher is theirs. One roommate gets a cold and the whole room or dormitory gets one, too. Who is careful enough to furnish his own glass ? Very few people’s sense of propriety or carefulness would send them up three flights of stairs to their own glass or pitcher, when he can get a perfectly “good” drink on the first floor. Man is naturally that lazy, optimistic and trusting at heart.

What’s the remedy? Drinking fountains, such as in the reci­ tation ball, on each floor. As to the cost, I don’t know a thing about it, but I shouldn’t think it would cost so very much, and in the end, I’m sure it would satisfactorily pay for itself.

Just think, it would save the bother of “shagging” from the pump,:and avoid the usual noise and disorder of the “late-shaggers.”

As for the pump, it would make a wonderful old landmark and memorial, and we’d love it just as much as before.

YOUTH TIME IS THE SEED TIME .What does Youth mean to us who are still in our Youth? Does it mean a period in our life in which we are carefree to such an ex225

.

tent that we have no duties to perform nor any cares; a period in which we can enjoy ourselves as we please before entering life with a serious aspect ? Surely, our Youth must mean more to us than to spend it in living only for a good time, in tasting the pleasures of the world, and having no concern about the future.

Our Youth requires of us a preparation for life. It demands that we prepare ourselves just as the crew of a ship prepares for a long voyage. The captain wouldn’t think of leaving port without having a good supply of the necessities for that journey. Thus we in our Youth, that is, in our port or harbor, should and must lay up a good supply for our voyage through life.

Why is it that so many men, after they have passed out of their Youth, look back with deep regret and lament the fact that they didn’t grasp the opportunities that were within their reach ?

Why do they advise the Youth, whenever they can, to do (lifferen than they did? They know from experience that Youth time the seed time, the spring time of our life. Spring—that season of the year when nature is born again and comes forth with new vigor; that season of the year when the seed is put into the ground from which it later on should rise and bear fruit: that time of our life when our mind is fresh, alert, fertile, when the seed is sown which later on in our life together with experience and maturity brings forth fruit. Now is the time to sow the seeds of good habits, now is the time to mold our character and then, as we grow older we shall harvest what we have sown in our Youth.

A. C. B. MUSIC APPRECIATION Music appreciation, if I may call it that, is at a very low level among the students of our dormitory. In fact it is almost extinct.

Much to my disgust this fact was clearly shown one Sunday morning.

Several, three to be exact, went to church as early as possible in order to be back in time to hear the concert given by the Roxy Symphony Orchestra. When they arrived at our smoking room, as usual., they heard the strains of the snappiest jazz orchestra issue fofth from the loud-speaker. Several students were gathered around enjoying the “music.” What a shout of protest went up when the three students came and asked if they could tune in on “Roxy.”

As there is but one radio in the building', we three had to use our every effort to attain our end. This we ... did. And what a program it was! All of the finest music that a person would like to jjear But what effect did it have von the other students, who had been listening to the jazz orchestra? Gradually they drifted away.

226

Some played cards, others said they had some studying to do, and still others suddenly remembered that they hadn’t gone to church as yet, and thought they’d better go.

Do our students really care so little for music ? Don’t they really care to listen to a two hundred piece orchestra? I certainly should think that at a school, that boasts of having a band, an or­ chestra, and a male and mixed chorus, there would be more stu­ dents who would appreciate a treat like this.

As soloist the orchestra had Madame Schumann-Heink. At the time when this artist gave a concert here, I am sure she was appreciated by many of the students. Have the few years that have passed since that concert wrought a change so great that no one cares for her class of music any more ? Yes, fellows, she sings as well as ever.

Can we ascribe this lack of appreciation to any failure of the college in offering courses in music ? In looking over the curriculum of our college we find very little time devoted to music. In the college course no instruction in music is offered. In the high school course one hour a week is devoted to the study of music.

That, of course, is not enough to give a student a feeling for music, and very few do get anything from it. No music lessons are given by members of the faculty. Students have to get instruction from instructors outside of the college. Most of them are not financially able to do this, and never get any training. I think that students studying for the ministry should all be able to play the piano, or at least know how to play some instrument.

Several years ago the college sponsored artists’ concerts. Two years ago they were dropped. What was the reason for this? It was done because the students didn’t show enough interest any­ more, and without an audience it is useless to hold a concert.

I should like to see a good course in music added to the college curriculum. Then, perhaps, interest would be created, and the college might then again be able to sponsor concerts by the great artists of the day.

Here we are in 1931; Christmas vacation is barely past and already the final examinations are staring into our faces. Of course everybody was glad to get back to school to vie with his chums in the number of presents received. But surely no one among us will remember Christmas, 1930, as long and as fondly as Professor Kiessling, for on that day he was united in marriage with Miss Esther Brockmann. The bride is a daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. Paul Brockmann of Waukesha, and had formerly been an instruc­ tor at the Wisconsin School for the Deaf nt Dclavan. Professor Kiessling has been teaching at Northwestern for the past three and a half years. May they enjoy a long and happy married life.

On the eighth of January representatives of the local branch of the American Telephone Company gave a demonstration before the dormitory students. In the course of a lecture some of the common reasons for faulty service were set forth and by means of illustrations it was shown how the individual can, by exercising" a little care on his part, do much toward prompter and more efficient service.

The Phi Gamma Rho presented a literary program on Janu­ ary 16; Mr. Heyn was master of ceremonies and Professor Kiess­ ling acted as critic. This being the first regular program, Hr. Krueger, the president of the society, introduced the literary season by a few appropriate remarks and offered several suggestions as to future work and activity.

As an opening number, the band played several selections. Mr. Naumann in his speech on “The Sacred Well of the Mayas” touched upon an interesting subject, but one that is perhaps unknown to most of us. The speech was made more interesting by the intro230

duction of interesting details, e. g., Halliburton's adventure at the sacred well of the Mayas. Mr. Maas gave a humorous monologue.

His delivery fitted the content very well and the number was re­ ceived with consequent applause. Mr. Arm in Schultz presented a “Music Review” from the standpoint of practical value and of ap­ preciation in a speech that was well prepared and well delivered. A reading, “A Critical Situation/' by Mark Twain, was given by Miss Lutovsky. The reading was certainly well chosen and ably read.

As a concluding number Mr. Reginald Siegler played a selection, Mendelssohn's Rondo Capriccioso at the piano, with a composition of his own as an encore. Original composition is indeed a highly commendable achievement, and there are very few among us who can boast of such an accomplishment.

Many of the Exchanges of last month present a cheerful ap­ pearance in their holiday attire. Perhaps this helped to give the editor courage when, returning from vacation, he found his desk piled high with unopened Exchanges.

We were very much interested in an editorial in the “Round Table” of December 6 headed ''Extra-collegiate Thought” because we had spent some thought on the subject it deals with ourselves.

It deals with the question of what makes up the field for a college publication. But as we read we dimly remembered an article in one of the Exchanges of several months ago striking a somewhat similar tone. Digging through our files we found an article in the “Milton College Review” of several months ago stating almost 231

an opposite opinion on the subject. We should like to present both articles, for the question is an important one to a school with a publication, but space does not permit. We shall, however, give a brief summary of each.

The '*Round Table” contends that, although the staff of a stu­ dent publication cannot pretend to be an authority on world affairs, still by handling these subjects they can induce the student to spend some thought on world affairs instead of concentrating on the petty situations of college life.

• “We are too prone to fall into the rut of complacent, satisfied relations within the academic circle while the world whirls by with ever increasing complexities which appear to us a maze of impossi­ bilities and we turn our back.”

The “Milton College Review” in an article entitled, “Ain’t it the Truth?” contends that the college publication should serve its world, the campus, and let the professional journal serve the nation, its field.

“Dailies adequately discuss national problems and there is no need of the inexperienced collegian joining in the discussion. And even if he did write a vigorous nationalistic editorial it would be scoffed at by professionals as ‘not knowing what he is talking about’.’’

cide.

Which of these two contentions is correct is very hard to de­

Easily outstanding in recent Exchanges is “The Marquette Journal,” a literary quarterly. The stories and articles show a depth and ability which we have found in a few of our Exchanges.

These are also interspersed with poetry of the same quality.

From the “Round Table” of January 14 we learn that Dr. Oskar Hagen who lectured here last year is to give a series of lec­ tures at Beloit on Spanish painters.

Milton College — is to have a new president. Rev. Jay Crofoot, now a missionary in China, is preparing to lake over the presidency next July. We wish Rev. Crofoot success in his new position.

Northwestern 18; Beloit 27 Watertown, Dec. 13. In the last appearance on the local floor before the Christmas recess Northwestern bowed in defeat to Beloit, 27-18. The Black and Reds played loose basketball; besides missing a host of short shots, they passed inaccurately and lacked teamwork, Harke contributed five points to the Northwestern total; Heyn four.

The Beloit cagers, on the other hand, assumed an early lead by virtue of consistent and cool-headed playing. They mixed a long and short pass game with excellent results to keep the score progressing rapidly. Capt. Bottino, who tossed in goals from al­ most any angle and distance, was easily the star of the game. He shared honors for high scorer with his team-mate, Taylor; each located the hoops for four field goals.

Bottino started scoring with a field goal for Beloit in the open­ ing minutes of play. A neat lead had already been established by Beloit before Northwestern’s basketeers hit their stride. North­ western trailed at the half, 16-10.

In the second period Beloit duplicated the steady playing of the first half and was able to widen the gap in the score. Although the Black and Reds at times manifested designs of staging a comeback, yet the spurt proved to be only momentary and was soon smothered by the opposing side.

Watertown.—On January 10, Northwestern measured swords with Concordia before a record-breaking1 crowd. Both teams were primed for a hard tilt. In the tussle that ensued thrills aplenty were furnished for the fans. Capt. Grams headed Concordia scorers with a total of nine points. Stuhr led Northwestern scorers with six.

Concordia rang up the first point. Northwestern retaliated soon after with a field goal. Although the Northwestern five re­ mained in the lead a greater share of the first half, yet it was not a very comfortable lead, for it never exceeded two or three points.

Only a small percentage of numerous chances at the hoops by both teams resulted in baskets. The score at the half was 10-8 in favor of Northwestern.

Hostilities were resumed in the second half with renewed vigor.

As a result the game became snappy and exciting. The lead kept fluctuating from one side to the other until about five minutes be­ fore the close of the game. At this juncture Concordia, by dint of several baskets sunk in quick succession from the middle of the floor, forged ahead to a small lead. Hereupon Northwestern bore down and soon was in the front. Northwestern was holding a onepoint advantage in the fray as the seconds of the last minute before the finish began clicking off, when Krause, in a spectacular shot from past the center’s position, took the game in his own hands and plugged the basket for the deciding tally. The bark of the gun sounded a few seconds later to declare Concordia victor.

1 Milton 37; Northwestern 28 Watertown, Jan. 14.—The Northwestern team experienced a rather thorough shakeup from Milton on its own court, 37-28. Ap­ parently entering the contest determined to settle for a bitter score from last year, the Milton cagers gave a surprisingly good account of themselves in every department of the game. They possessed a decided advantage in Clark, center, whose huge stature stood him in good stead in getting the tip-off for his team. He became the in the offense by virtue of his imposing height and acted key as a feeder to Barlass, Dickoff and Jarvis, all of whom possessed an eagle eye for the net; each contributed 9 points towards the total score.

That the Black and Reds, on the other hand, were way off color must be granted, but, to be just, it should also be added in their defense that they labored under a handicap. Coach Kleinke, in an effort to find a combination that would click with results, recently subjected the team to a drastic shift in line-up and instituted an entirely new method of attack. That the team had not yet mastered the new mode of attack, and that the individual members of the new lineup in the team were not accustomed to playing with one another, appeared evident from the side-lines. This bit of infor­ mation may offer an excuse for some of the unorthodox and disorganized playing that was exhibited.

Milton started the scoring with a free throw, and Stuhr fol­ lowed shortly after with a field goal for Northwestern, It was a very close game the first half, in which the score was knotted a greater share of the time. Milton, however, emerged ahead shortly before the conclusion of the half. At this time it enjoyed a 5point lead.

The second half was a veritable foul combat, in which one team tried to “out-football” the other. Cold figures will tell the story: a sum total of 25 fouls was called, the teams ranking about equal in efficiency to roll the opponents in the dust. About five minutes before the close of the game, after the Northwestern scor­ ing machine had bridged the gap in the score and knotted the count, the Black and Red defense crumbled and allowed the Milton cagers to sweep through to pile up the winning margin.

Vacations are always welcomed with great enthusiasm, but how our heart leaps up when we get a few extra free days. The additional three days certainly served their purpose. The chickenpox decided to clear out. Everybody returned with renewed vim and vigor to begin the new year.

Quite a few improvements have lately been made. Some re­ wiring was done in all buildings. All switches have been placed on a large switchboard in the basement. In the first floor hall of the recitation building we have a new fountain. Now the students do not have to run to the dormitory or to the pump for a drink.

They can get one right in the building. This saves time and shoeieather. In the washroom a neat trough has taken the place of the old soap-holders which always gave one the impression of so many drinking cups in a dairy barn. There is still one thing lacking. These new troughs ought to have drains. This way sextaners, and others, are tempted to fill them with water to sail their paper sailboats. It would not be natural not to have a naval battle.

Therefore a war is declared and before a treaty of peace is signed the washroom is flooded. Of course, Babies must play!

“Hockey is the future college sport,” says “Banty” Siegler. He already has quite a few interested in the game. The real thing about hockey, of course, is the fact that there is no spring or fall training.

Buenger and Engel witnessed the inaugural celebration of Gov­ ernor La Follette. Engel contributed his share to the music which brightened the festivities. “Even the statue which surmounts the great dome seemed pleased,’’ says “IConks.” Both complained of a swollen hand and arm on the following day. The governor, sen236

I! ators, and representatives condescended to shake hands with them.

Some people are lucky.

On January 7, the junior f)and had its first rehearsal under the direction of “Wally” Dobratz. If you are musically inclined, here’s where you can get your start. Remember you can’t learn any younger.

Room 87 installed a neat little fireplace to lead Santa Claus astray. The occupants of the room hung up their stockings, but Santa Claus did not leave anything. No wonder, they forgot to make a chimney for him.

The Geiger brothers together with their parents spent a few days of their Christmas vacation at Naugart, \Visconsin, their for­ mer home.

“Bingo’s” one aim in life is to be an M. D. (meat dealer).

Wegner, the dreaded soninam1)ulist，still goes out on his nightly rampages despite the tutor's pleadings. Besides disturbing the peace of his and the neighboring bedroom，lie is endangering his own life.

Somebody might accidentally wake him up.

Wednesday evening, January 8, we were entertained by some of the employees of the Wisconsin Telephone Company. Miss Moser showed «s how calls are received and answered at the central office and how mistakes arc made and how they can to a great extent be avoided. In a playlet which followed the demonstration we saw how things worked out practically. It was interesting and worth while. We’ll have a little more patience with the operators after this.

At the close of the last literary meeting President Krueger asked all those who wished to join either society to see the respective president of that society. Schabow put in his application.

If it isn’t one tiling, it’s another. Now, Werwath has the mumps.

Sophomore Sneezing Contest Whenever there is a change in temperature from warm to cold the sophomores are amused by a sneezing contest. Maas begins with a “Haa—hoo―ch!” bringing out the “hooch” very distinctly.

This happens about five times each period. Nommensen follows with his “Hoo―chee—a!”（ a heavy accent on the “chee” way up in high E. The “a” dies away in the bass clef. Just when a person thinks the war is over. Resting comes out with a blast loud enough to wake the dead. At roll call all voted aye for Resting. That makes, him champion sneezer of the sophomore class. .Since all the sophomores broke their 1930 resolutions, they de­ cided to make some new ones. These they are going to keep, of course. They resolved as follows: Biesmann—to learn to play hockey.

Bretzmann一to get an “x” in all subjects.

Bucli—to start a German club.

Buenger—to find some way to make the students cheer.

Mendenhall—not to drink unless he is alone or with somebody.

Meyer~to make the girls attend mixed chorus more regularly.

Meyers—to be a physicist.

Nommensen—to get up at six o’clock sharp every morning.

Radloff—to keep away from the chicken-pox.

Schwenzen—to get his license as a slapstick comedian.

Stuhr—not to stoop for anything.

Wendland—never to say “&o.”

Oln-lEb Mary Meyers spent part of the holidays visiting a schoolmate of hers at Rosary College, in Dunkirk, Indiana.

Gertrude Wendland was in Milwaukee during the vacation.

Eva Taras and Ruby Holzhueter were at home over the weekend.

Lillian Lutovsky has written the account of the Co-ed party and to her must be given the greatest share of credit for arranging so successful a programme as we had.

Tuesday, the 13th, we co-eds forgot all about Greek, Latin, ancient history, semester exams, and all our other troubles. And why shouldn’t we! It was CO-ED PARTY NIGHT! And we were granted until eleven o’clock to enjoy ourselves—an hour longer than other years. The co-eds appreciated the extra hour, but we are heartily sorry if we disturbed the “Eds” by our shrieks of joy at such a late hour.

238

:J Pirates, harlequins, cheerleaders, little girls and little boys, old fashioned ladies, brides and bridegrooms, Spanish senoritas, Dutch twins, a nurse, a house maid, a bum, a fairy, and Indian maid, an aged grandmother, and farmers—such were the co-eds.

The order of events for the evening was bridge and fifty, a treasure hunt, a radio program, a grand march with judging of costumes, and refreshments.

Adele Nommensen carried home the first prize for fifty, Adele Herro, the second, and Margaret Breutzman, the booby prize.

Mary C. Meyers was the champion prize winner, for she won the bridge prize and also the prize for the treasure hunt.

Each girl brought a small gift, costing no more than a dime.

These treasures, ranging from large waste baskets to toy balloons and incense burners, were hidden in the balcony. “Signo dato” the girls made one dash up the stairs and the plunder was on. Mary 6’s” loot was seven treasures, two more than the next highest.

Our radio program came to us from N W C, the Northwest­ ern Co-eds’ Station. It was opened and closed with a theme song entitled ^Northwestern Co-eds.” The song sung by a quartette to the tune of “Betty Co-ed, was written by Gladys Hallet exclusively for broadcast purposes of station N W C. Incidentally, the words occurred to her as she lay sleepless in her bed thinking of the party. Now don’t you think anyone that gets up out of bed at two o'clock at ni^ht to write a song for us deserves a cheer?

The program contained a recipe, a reading, a piano solo, correct time according to Bernice Kieck’s clock, a stock market report telling of an upward trend in the “pony” market due to heavy buy­ ing by certain students, a “professor’s lecture,” a children’s hour with a harmonica and saxophone solo, and a call to locate missing co-eds.

A television broadcast showed the Naumann sisters in a har­ mony act, and also “Snitty” and “Mary C” pantomiming School Days while Betty Faber played the song on the saxophone.

“Betty Co-ed,” otherwise known as Eugenia Meyer, was the station announcer.

The radio hour was followed by the Grand March. The judges for the costume prizes were Eleanor Stern and Eugenia Meyer.

They awarded three prizes of Boxes of candy—one for the prettiest costume to Dorothy Schlueter; one to the funniest couple, Bernice Kieck and Helen Naumann: and one for the most unique costume to Gertrude Naumann.

Dorothy Schlueter appeared as a pretty belle of Civil War days.

Bernice Kieck and Helen Naumann came as a bride and bridegroom presumably celebrating their forty-third wedding anniversary, and Gertrude Naumann was a nursie in blue and white.

But the pertinacious investigations of archaeologists have made it possible to date Watertown back to the Paleozoic era. An occult letter has been discovered which surely must date back be­ fore the years of Watertown’s supposed origin. Here is a copy of the ancient missive: ’ • Waderdown, Nowonder Wonce.

Mine deer Augoost: I vill now take mine pen und ink und lead pencil in hand und write yoo mit a stenoggrafer, to tell yoo dat ve do not live vere ve used to live as we live vere we haf moofed alrady. It hurts me to say it to yoo but yoor deer oldt ant vat yoo luffed so veil is dedt— she dyed off Nu Monia on Nu Years day in Nu Orleans at fifteen 241

Watertown. Wis., Feb. 1931

Number 9

Entered nt the Postofficc at Watertown Wis , as second class matter under Act of March 3, 1879. Published monthly. Subscription, One Dollar

GEBURTSTAG Es war slillc Naclit in dem Schlafsaal einer Inteniatsschulc.

“Fritz! Fritz!” ricf Emil im Fluestertone, indem er dcm schlaftrunkenen K tassengenossen ein paar Rippenstosze gab. Aber Fritz stoehnte nur un(l legte sich auf die andere Seite.

“Fritz!” lautete es wieder; “Feuer!”

Nun fuhr Fritz erschrocken auf. “Was?” rief er.

“Ja, nur schnell! Es wire! bald hier brennen,” trieb ihn Emil an.

Da flogen aber die Decken; und im Nu hatte Fritz seine Hosen iuid seine Pantoffeln an —bereit zur Flucht.

Aber Fritz sollte nicht entfliehen. Von hinter der offenstehenden Tuer sprangen Otto und Ferdinand, zwei andere Klassengenossen, hervor, griffen ihn und hielten ihn fest, so dasz er sich nicht regen konnte. Dann beugten sie ihn ein wenig vorne ueber, und Emil legte auf den armen los mit einem Stock, den er sich in den letzten Tagen gelegentlich geschnitzt hatte.

“Laszt mich los! Was faellt euch denn ein?” schrie Fritz, aber sein Straeuben half ihm gar wenig.

243

“.............. siebzehn, achtzehn, neunzehn! So \n kam es energisch von Emil. Nun befreiten sie ihren Freund.

“Du hast’s doch sicherlich nicht vergessen! Hast du, Fritz?

Heute isl dein Geburtstag. Soeben hat die Kirchenuhr zwoelf geschlagen. Und wire! wollten die ersten sein, die dich mit Glueckswuenschen an deinem Geburtstage begrucssteii.”

“Soil idi micli nun auch nocli bedanken fuer die Pruegel?” entgegnete Fritz in nicht allzufreundlichem Tone indem er (lie beschaedigte Stelle seines Koerpers mit seinen Haenden riel).

“Bi.ennt’s?” spoettelte Otto.

•*Ihr haettet doch bis zum Morgen warten koennen V' fuhr Fritz fort, ohne auf den Einwurf Ottos zu achten. Aber mit einem lei sen Laecheln verbisz er seinen Schmerz und den Zorn, dasz ihm so ein Streich gespiclt worden war. Schlieszlich aber legte sich sein Miszmut, der einem leicht ankommen kann, so man im Schlaf gestoert wire!— —hesonders wenn dies zum Spasz geschieht. Seine Zinimergenossen, die mittlerweile von dem Gepolter und den lauten Stimmen geweekt worden waren, hatten sich auch an der ganzen Geschichte hoechst erfreut.

Nun, da sich Fritz mit den uebrigen wieder versoehnt fuehlte, und da er auf den Scherz seiner Freunde eingegangen war, endigten sie die naechtliche Ge1)iirtstagsfeicr. Und alle legten sich schlafen.

Wie nun Fritz zur ge'voehnlichen ^ .

Zeit um sechs Uhr morgens geweekt wurde, da wollte er zuerst nicht aufstchen, denn er meinte es waere nur lioch eine Posse. Da aber der Wecker drauf bestand, Fritz sollte aufstehn, leuchtete ihm allmaehlich sein Fehler ein; und er stand auf.

Als nun eine Viertelstunde spaeter, alle im Eszsaal, ihr Fruehstueck genoszen, da kamen auf Anlasz der (lrei Schelme der vergangenen Nacht einer nach dem andern (lie Klassengenossen zu Fritz, gratulierten ihm hoeflichst und lieszen allerlei Bemerkungen fallen, andeutend, dasz sie einen kleinen Schmaus von ihm erwarteten.

Nach dem Mahle reihten sich Fritzens Klassengenossen drauszen auf, ihm (lie uebliclie Tracht Pruegel aufzulegen. Dieses wuszte Fritz. Aber er war klug genug, sich jetzt in ihre Haende zu geben, anstatt den Versuch zu machen, ihnen zu entweichen. Denn sollte ihm dieses auch jetzt gel ingen, war’s doch sicher, dasz sie ihn waehrend des Tages erwischen wuerden, und dasz es ihm dann schlechter ergehn wuerde als jetzt. Also ersrab er sich in sein Schicksal.

Dei? ganzen Tag ueber neck ten die Jungen Fritz. Seine Freunde wollten ihn nicht seine Pflicht vergessen lassen; denn es war Brauch, dasz derjenige, der Geburtstag feierte, seiner Klasse einen kleinen Leckerbiszen bereitete. Denn im i Leben eines Studenten gehoert 244

cin guter Bissen nicht zu den Dingen, (lie man verachten darf; und =gibt wohl kaum einen, der nicht zu irgend einer Stunde bereit es wacre, cin wenig zu knabbern. So muszte dann Fritz alles moegliclic hoeren, a1)cr besonders spiel ten diese Bemerkungen an auf den crwarteten Schmaus.

Wie hucpfte nicht ihr Herz, als Fritz beim Abendessen seinen Klassen^enosscn die Botschaft verkuendete, dasz sie sich alle in scincm Zimmer um elf Uhr abends versammeln sollten! Von neuem wunlc Fritz ^ratuliert. Diesmal aber nicht zum Geburtstag, sondern auf scin gut.es Herz, dasz er ihnen so eine Freude bereitete.

Von ncucni war (las Mundwerk seiner Freunde in Gang gesetzt; sic wuszten ilin nicht genug zu lohen. Aber er verstand dies schon; denn cr war nicht der erste in seiner Klasse, der Geburtstag hatte.

So liesz er sich's alles gefallen und wuszte, wie’s aufzufassen war.

Alle machtcn sich, voller Spannung, auf den Spaetabend, eifrig hintcr ilire Ruechor her, damit bis elf Uhr ja nichts mehr uebrig hlieh zu studicrcn. Und so wurde dann nianche Sache, wenig hesser als halh^clcrnt. l)ei Seitc gelegt. Aber dasz macht ja nichts. Gelnirtstag* feiert man nicht jeden Tag. So stcl 1 ten sich dann alle sehr puenktlich ein; es war eigentlich, .c.ronan ijenommen. cin bischen fruehzeiti^. Niemand wuszte gerade was anzufangen war; so suchte sich ein jeder einen Sitzplatz—in Stuchlen und auf den Studiertischen.

“Na, \vir sincl ja alle hier,” begann Fritz. “Laszt mich von '.ornhercin sagen : Laszt's euch pfiit schmecken ! Amusiert euch!

A her, hittc. 'verdet nicht zu laut!” Darauf steigerte sich das Gcgackcr zu heitcrem Beifall.

"Dieses,” erklaerte Fritz, als er eine grosze Kiste von clem Versteck unter seinem Tische hervor holte,一“Dieses ist ein Grusz von zu Hause.”

Jedesnial wenn Fritz etwas sagte, musz man sich Begeisterung von Seiten der Klassengenossen dazu denken.

“Zunaechst wollen wir *mal diesem Braten Eh re antun. Ein jeder schneide sich ein gehoeriges Stueck ab und reiche den Rest weiter!—Inzwischen koennen wir auch diese Brote und diese Poeckelgurken herumreicheii. So! Nun man zu!—O, beinahe haet’ ich’s vergessen. Zu trinken haben wir leider nur aqua piira,” sagte Fritz. **Das ist schacle. Aber an solch einen Trank ^ind wir schon gewoehnt: der wird uns nichts schaden koennen.”

“Da hast du Recht. Aber es wird doch wohl niemand etwas dagegen haben, wenn wir uns beim Trinken etwas anderes denken ?

"Mmm, ein wahres Festfressen!’’ kam’s von emem.

Ne, darueber kann man sich nicht beklagen,” von einem andern.

245

Und cin dritter: “Es schmeckt gerade wie zu Hause.”

••Du hast ?ne liebe Mutter, Fritz, dasz sie dir so viel zubereitet hat. **Ja, das musz ibr ziemlich viel Arbeit gekostet haben; dafuer sclmieckt’s abcr aucli famos gut.”

“O, waere meine Mutter nur allein da, so haett’ ich auch nicht ein solches Paket bekommen. Meine Schwester hat ihr geholfen/' sagte Fritz, der sich auch in den Kreis gesetzt hatte.

"Du hast ’ne Schwester ? Das hast du uns ja nie gesagt V' .‘1st sie sclion durcli die Hoclischule?”

“Wie heiszt sie?”

“Ja，sag uns!”

Sie wire! dieses Jahr graduieren.”

"Ihr Name?”

“Ada!” Keiti Wuncler, dasz dies alles so gut schmeckt. Wie konnt’s denn anders sein!’， “Jetzt musz ich mil* noch cin kleincs Stueckchen neb men一zu ihreni Gedaechtnis.”

"Schade, dasz wir ihr kein staerkeres Prosit trinken koennen als nur mit diesem Wasser !*' “He，da! Leo! Was sitzt du denn da und sagst kein Wort?”

“Kannst (lu denn nicht sehn, dasz ich beschaeftigt bin?” waren ungefaehr die Worte, die Leo zurucck gal). Sic waren sclir undcutlich gesprochen : denn er hatte den Muml voll. Er war ein Nimmersatt, der nie Zeit genug hatte, bei Mahlzeiten sich satt zu essen.

Wenn man ihn aber nicht gerade (labei sah, so konnte man's ihm nicht ansehen, dasz er beim Tisch tuechtig einhauen konnte.

“Nur iimmer zu!” torderte Fritz die Genosscn auf. **Alles musz verputzt werden!

“Hab nur keine Sorge, Fritz!”

“Lang mir *mal den Rest von clem Braten her!

“Hier ist nur noch eine Semmel uebrig. Wer will die bcsorgeii?” sagte Fritz. “Keiner?—Na, ich dacht doch, du wuerdest uns nicht im Stich lassen, Leo. Hier!’’ sagte er, als er sie ihm zuwarf.

Sie hatten alles schoen verzehrt, als Fritz den Geburtstagskuchen herbei holte.

-“Wir waren mit allem herrlich versehn. Aber der Kuchen ist ein bischen zu klein. Es tut mir leid! Aber wir niuessen uns wohl Ijegnuegen lassen.” sagte Fritz. uSchon gut, Fritz; dann verderben wir uns den Magen nicht." “'yir haben ueberhaupt schon mehr als genug gehabt.”

“Ei，dieser Kuchen ist grad so lobenswert, wie alles andere auch war.” i*

246

“I-Iat Ada ihn auch gebacken? Die versteht’s!’’

“Wenn du ihr wieder schreibst, dann schick ihr meinen besten Dank! Wirst du?”

"Auch meinen "Uml meinen !

“Unci dank cleiner Mutter auch! Und sag ihr, 'vie guts uns gescluncckt liat!’’

"Ja, tu das! war dcr allgemeine Beifall.

"Uiul bestell ilinen auch eincn schoenen Grusz!

“Ja, d«ns word icli liesorgen.一Nun wer lioch Appetit hat. der mag sicli mcldcn. 1 licr sincl noch einige Wuerste und etwas Eingeniaclites.”

-co hactte sicli vielleicht noch gemeldet, aber er schaemte sich (locli ein wcnijj. **\Vcnn keiner nielir hunjjrig ist, dann sparen wir uns dies fuer spactLT. Icli iidim’s nial bci Gelegenheit Vueber zum Eszsaal. Dann holt ihr cuch allc ’was.”

“CiiUe Tclec, Fritz!”

"Jetzt kocnnen wir noch nicht ins Bett. Das geht nicht. Wollen wir erst noch ein wenig Karten spielen ? Wir koennen nicht alle dran. Abcr manclie koennen ja zusehen.”

So wurde es gemacht. Sie spielten noch eine zeitlang Karten, bis die frolic Stimmung- sich einigermaszen ausgewirkt hatte. Darnnch vcrahschiedcten sie sich alle mit heiterem Gemuet und begahen sich auf ihr Schlafgemach.

;'!i :

IT DOES NOT ALWAYS PAY TO BE A GENTLEMAN The shv maiden’s name was June, the villain’s name was Harold, and our hero’s name was Arthur. Arthur and June had been good friends from their youth; but since June’s parents had moved to another part of the city, they did not get together so often.

June also found herself in a new set of friends and there she met Harold. Here is where the rivalry began, because Harold tried to ""cut out” Arthur every chance he had. The rivalry became strong­ est during their sophomore year at college.

It was one of those lazy summer afternoons out at the beach where Arthur was the life-guard. He had just come home from his sophomore year in college, and he enjoyed this new job as quite a relief from the terrible strain of his studies.

“Hi! Rich, this surely is a lazy man’s life. Boy，I’ll be glad when the sailboat races are on. The boss is going to let me pilot his boat, the Mary Anne.

247

I

“Say, that will be great. When did he tell you that you could?” asked his friend Richard, another life-guard.

•'Yesterday, and he said I could choose my own partners, How would you like to go as my second mate?”

“Say, will I? You don’t have to ask me twice. By the way, I heard that Harold is sailing his boat the Rosalie and they say that she is quite a boat.”

“Yes,” replied Arthur rather thoughtfully. “He is out practicing this afternoon and has June along to keep him company. His boat is the only one I am afraid of.”

“I sorta envy that fellow, because he has nothing to do except spend his father’s money and enjoy himself, <ind I really (Jon’t blame girls for going out with him and enjoying his playthings.

Say, do you know yet when the races will be?”

“Yes, they are planning them for next week Wednesday if the weather is all right. And we shall sail the Mary Anne Monday and Tuesday to get used to her.”

“See you Monday afternoon then. Good-bye.”

“Good-bye•” — On Wednesday afternoon the beach was crowded and everybody was ready for the big race at two-thirty, which was the de­ ciding race for the city cup. There were seven sailboats in all ineluding the Mary Anne and Rosalie. It was to be a five-mile race, two and one-half miles out to an anchored buoy and two and onehalf miles back.

There was a nice brisk wind coming in towards shore from a little to the left and the buoy was out toward the right. The waves were higher than usual and several heavy clouds sailed across the sky.

The sailboats sailed in line as the gun was fired for the start.

They all had a good start and quickly glided forward. They had to tack to get out to the buoy. At first they kept together quite evenly, but slowly the Mary Anne and Rosalie took the lead. Gradually the Mary Anne cut out ahead of the Rosalie. This was because of better tacking and skill of sailing. They came to the buoy and turning into the wind the Mary Anne made a sharp turn around the buoy. The Rosalie was now three and one-half lengths behind.

After both had turned back they could make a straight line on the home stretch. Both sailboats leaned far over with their main sails little ^ . pulled in close to the boat. The wind had even picked up during the race and the waves splashed against the sides in a throb­ bing' rhythm. The boats seemed alive and cutting the water with an easy speed, with the sails and ropes straining in the wind and the masts bending near to the breaking point. Every now and then the wind would come with a sudden gust and tip the boats 248

j

over farther and the four men on board would have to lean quickly over to the starboard. The Rosalie now slowly began to shorten the distance between the Mary Anne and herself, until she had al­ most caught up with the Mary Anne. Now they were only a quar­ ter of a mile from the judges’ pier. But Arthur had noticed that the wind had. turned and he adjusted his sail a little to take in all the wind possible. The Mary Anne kept ahead of the Rosalie so that she could not cut out the wind. They were now quite near the judges’ pier. Then the Rosalie started coming up along side of the Mary Anne. Now she had come up a fourth of the length.

Now the bow of the Rosalie was coming up alongside the center of the Mary Anne and soon would cut ahead of the Mary Anne. Just then a shout arose from the shore and they were going past the judges’ pier: the Mary Anne won the race by half a length.

As Arthur and his crew landed on the dock the judges greeted him and awarded him the cup as victor of the most interesting race they had witnessed for years.

Immediately someone seized Arthur by the arm saying in a very pleasant feminine way, “Congratulations, Art., Gee! I am so glad you won. It was tlie keenest race I ever saw•” “Thanks, June, it’s really nice of you to say that,” replied Arthur.

Harold came up then with the second prize.

"Congratulations, Art, you sure had a lot of luck. June, would you care to go sailing now ? There is the best wind out that I have seen for a long time, Bring your friends along, too. It will be the most thrilling ride they ever had.”

“Well, I would like to, Harold, but aren’t you a little afraid of those dark clouds over there and isn’t it rather dangerous, ’cause we might turn over.

"Pshaw, come on, June; let’s take a chance; it is the one chance in a life time,” said Ruth, one of her girl friends.

So the three girls went sailing with Harold. The wind kept getting stronger. The Rosalie was running even with the shore and leaning far over. Then she began turning around away from the wind. Suddenly she turned turtle. Then cries for help were faintly heard. The Rosalie had been turned away from the wind to make it more exciting, whereas she should have been turned around into the wind to avoid danger of tipping.

Arthur had finished putting up his sailboat and had stopped to watch the Rosalie a while, when she suddenly turned turtle.

Quickly he ran to the pier and unfastened a motor boat and started out towards the Rosalie. It was very rough now and when he ar­ rived to the overturned Rosalie, he found June unconscious and Harold holding her to the side of the boat. The two girl friends 249

•! !

:沈:

were also clinging to the side of the boat pale from fright. Arthur quickly took the four on board and sped towards shore. He helped Harold carrv June to Harold’s car and Harold rushed her to the hosnital. The storm had just broken and it rained heavily你r_ while, but then let up enough so that Arthur with several others was able to bring in the Rosalie.

That evening Arthur went to the hospital to see June. Her parents were the only ones there when he came, but they did not ask h:m any questions. June had regained consciousness soon after she arrived at the hospital and was quite active now. She related — how she was knocked unconscious.

“When the boat turned over, I had to make a dive head first and I hit the boom head on and that was the last I knew till I was here."

“Is there a gash where you hit your head?” anxiously ques­ tioned Arthur.

“No, iust a terrible hump and T have an awful headache. It was awfully brave of Harold to rescue me, and T don’t see yet how he did it.

"Well, I must be going now. I just dropped in to see how you were, and I hope you completely recover soon. Good-night,” and Arthur was on his way out of the door.

“Good-night,” said June, a little surprised at his hurry.

On his way down the hall Arthur ran into Harold. Harold greeted him sarcastically. "Well, if it isn’t our hero, Arthur, again.

And immediately Harold was sitting on the floor and nursing a quickly swelling- eye, while Arthur kept on walking.

The next afternoon Richard came over to Arthur and said: “Say, that surely was a pretty black eye you gave Harold. I couldn't find out till this afternoon how he got it. Why did you hit him?”

“Well, I guess it doesn’t always pay to 1)e a gentleman.”

"Why, look, there is June coming, straight over here. I giiess I’ll be going. Good-bye.”

“Hello, Arthur, I am up and going again,” said June when she came to him.

“And you surely don’t look so sick either.”

‘•I was talking with my girl friends this morning and they told me everything that happened yesterday.—Do you remember what fun we used to have at my birthday parties when we were still kids and neighbors ? Well, next week Friday evening I am giving a birthday party and I wonder if you could come, Arthur? Harold will not be there.”

ALBERTS ERSTER TAG IN DER STADTSCHULE /\11)ert Strohmuetz war jetzt schon zelin Jahre alt.

Seine El tern wohnten auf einer Farm ungefaehr vier Meilen von der kleinen Stadt, Essig. Alberts Vater war ein sehr fleissiger Arbeiter iiml seine LancKvirtschaft gelang ihm. Da er etwas Geld zusammen gespart hatte, hiclt er eiiie Versteigerung und oefFnete cin kleines Geschaeft in Essig.

Albert musste natuerlich auch die Farm verlassen und mit dem Vater in die Stadt ziehen. Seine Freunde in der Schule machten ihm vor, class die Staedtcr sehr stolz seien, und class man viel mehr in der Stadtschule lernen mucsse als hier in der Landschule.

Albert klagte oft seiner Mutter: “Das wird was geben! Hier in der Landschule nennt der Lehrer mich immer *Dumme^jan., Wie wird's mir erst in der Essiger Stadtschule gehen !M Und die Mutter klagte immer noch ein bisschen mit: clenn sie wollte die Farm auch nicht so recht verlassen. Sonst dachte sich Albert das Stndtlebcn ganz schoen, wenn es nur nicht so streng mit den Scluilcn wacre.

Schon am zweiten Tag nach Alberts Ankunft in Essig musste er in (lie Scliulc gehen. Er zog die neiten Ueberhosen und ein frisch^cwaschcncs Hcmd an und spazierte den schraegen Pfad entlang zur Scliulc.

Als cr nacher kam, sah er, class die Jungen schon eifrig beim Hallspiel waren. Er sah gleich, class die Stadtknaben ganz huebsch gekleidct waren in Knichosen, Roecken, und Schlipsen.

Nachclem die Knaben den Albert alle ein bisschen veraechtlich angesehen hatten, ging (las Spiel ruhig weiter. Albert, aber, stund da auf einem Fuss mit den Haenden in den Taschen und sah dem • 乂 Spiel zu.

“Bin】，bam: ii-ik”（es fehlte Oel) “bim l)ani,” sagte jetzt die Glocke auf dem kleinen Tuermchen ueber der Schultuer und rief die tuechtigen Ballspieler und Albert in das Schulzimmer.

‘•O weh !” dachte Albert, “jetzt; geht's vor den strengen Lehrer.”

Albert war einer von den letzten in das Schulhaus einzutreten.

Die Knaben zogen alle ihre Kappen ab und haengten sie an eine Reihe von Haken, die an der hinteren Wand des Schulzzimmers zu finden waren. Albert tat dasselbe. Die andern Schueler setzten sich alle in ihre Baenke und liessen Albert allein neben der Tuere stehen.

Sobalcl alles im Zimmer ruhig war, forderte der Lehrer Albert auf, nach vorne zu kommen. Albert marschierte langsam vorwaerts. Er sah jetzt ganz betruebt aus. Die neuen Ueberhosen, aber, schienen sich ganz gehoerig zu freuen; denn die beiden Schenkel pfiffen ganz herrlich, als Albert im Gehen sie mit den Knien wetzte.

“Wie heisst clu?” fragte ihn der Lehrer, als Albert vor das Pult get reten war.

“Albert Strohniuetz,” was (lie leise Antwort.

In der hintersten Bank fluesterte der Alexander Bassheuler dem Anton Baer zu, “Sclilafnuietz soil er heissen!’’ *'Wie alt bist du? war die zweite Frage des Lehrers.

“Bin zehn, werde elf, gehe clanii ins dreizehnte.”

Da fluesterte der Felix Schumacher dem Alexander, “Weiter kann er nicht zaehlen.”

“Zelin Jahre alt. Unci in welchem Bucli bist du, Albert?” fragte ihn der Lehrer weiter.

“Ich bin schon beim Bild des grossen schwarzcn Hundes im zweiten Buch.”

“Gut! Nun du wirst dich wohl in diese Bank hier setzen muessen. Es ist die einsige, die noch leer ist,” sagte der Lehrer, indem er Albert in die Bank in der ersten Reihe fuehrte. Dann gab er Albert eine Lektion in einem ganz neuen Buch auf.

Albert studierte fleissig an der Aufgabe. Endlich wagte er es. sich ein hisschen umzuschauen. Da sah er, class Alexander und Anton etwas ganz Laecherliches mit einander zu fluestern hatten.

Sobald Alexander merkte, class Albert ihn auschaute, hob er eine Karte auf, so class Albert selien konnte, was darauf mit grossen Buchstaben geschrieben war: “Nur iminer. *go het’ Schlafmuetz r Das aergerte Albert ganz gehoerig. Er schaute wieder in sein Buch, aber er studierte nicht melir. “Dass muss gcdaempft werden,” dachte er vor sich hin.

Endlich kam die Zeit, da Albert und seine Klassengenossen aufsagen mussten. Die Klassen in (lieser Schule mussten vortreten und sich auf eine Bank z«r Rechten des Lehrerpults setzen. Albert war der zweite am lesen. Aber das neue Buch war ihm so ganz unbekannt, dass der Lehrer ihm jedes Wort vorsagen musste. Al­ bert wurde ganz rot vor Scham und das Weincn war ihm nicht weit.

“Nur getrost, Albert, morgen geht’s besser,” sagte der Lehrer, Das waren aber sehr schlechte Trostworte fuer Albert.

Nachdem Alberts Klasse aufgesagt hatte, verkuendigte der Lehrer die frohe Botschaft, dass es jetzt Pausezeit waere. Augenblicklich stuermte der ganze Haufe zur Tuer hinaus. Albert folgte ihnen.

Alexander wartete auf ihn vor der Tuer. '*Willst mit ballspielen?” fragte er Albert.

“Wir habens immer anders gespielt. aber ich wills ’mal probieren.”

Und so ging’s wieder ail’s Ballspielen.

Alexander warf und Albert sollte das Fangen besorgen. Anton gab ihm seinen grossen Handschuh zum Fangen. Er selbst nahm 252

ein Schlagholz. Zu Anfang ging alles glatt ab im Spiel. Auf einmal schluepfte der Ball aber an Alberts grossem Handschuh vorbei und traf ilin ins Gesicht, class das Blut nur so davon spritzte.

“Du alter Esel, das hast du mit Fleiss getan. Hier geh’ ich uicht zur Scliule,” schrie Albert, indem er weinand und zornig der Mcimat zu lief.

“Du Schlafmuetz, hist sogar zu dumm zum Ballspiel,” schrie (lie ganze Bande ihm nach.

Albert blieb daheim, bis ihti der Vater am naechsten Morgen ohnc allc Hoeflichkcit wieder in die Schule schickte. Dies mal ging’s bcsser.

WASTEFULNESS AT NORTHWESTERN Since we Americans are outstanding among other nations for our wastefulness, it is not out of the ordinary that Northwestern is also tainted with this vice. Wasting is the result of certain weaknesses and shortcomings. Thus laziness causes much wasting of time. Take, for intance, sleeping more than necessary. After sleep­ ing too much one usually feels duller and less inclined to work than ever. So also being inattentive in classes results in a waste of time, for later on additional time must be used to make lip for what one has missed. Similarly half-interested studying and slovenly work entails a waste of time. Some of us are guilty of what someone has termed: “Spending more time at our business than working at it.” Related to laziness is the weakness of carelessness. Some of us fail to appreciate what we own or what we have been entrusted with, and the result is neglect, abuse, or loss and therefore also a wasting of time and money.

Another source of waste is our craving for pleasures. Ex­ amples of this are: Excessive smoking, eating and drinking, at­ tending theatres, parties and other places of amusement too fre­ quently, going home too often among the out-of-town students, the useless mutilation and destruction of property, just for fun, as in Hallowe’en pranks, and finally the various cases of puerility, such 254

i as breaking of windows. Will power and the forming of correct habits could prevent much of the above mentioned wasting.

There is also much wasting in “showing off.” Take for in­ stance the bravado type, where some like to show their bravery by destroying or mutilating the property of others. Some also try to surround themselves with a certain kind of greatness or superiority by despising- and squandering things ostentatiously. Here we might mention the “college sheik” who tries to make an impression through ultra modern manners and clothing, cosmetics, etc. It is fortunate, however, that such bluffing doesn’t take so well among students wlio use even a slight amount of common sense.

Recently a vender of Japanese novelties and trinkets managed to get about fifteen dollars out of our student body within one noon hour. It is questionable whether all the trinkets and other articles that were bought were really necessary or worth the price. If we would look over our “junk,” we would very likely be reminded of more such instances of wastefulness. As with all wasting this buy­ ing fever will eventually lead to poverty, hut it can be checked either 1”. limiting the supply of money or by exercising one’s will power and sense of discrimination. On the other hand, failure to recognize and make use of bargains under certain conditions also results in waste.

So far \vc have dealt mainly with the prodigality of one’s own possessions. It is. however, more censurable to waste the property of others. It manifests a lack of neighborly love and considera­ tion. Take for instance the misuse of the things that our college offers us. We are wasteful when we deface the college furniture or buildings or when we mutilate its books, and then the cowardly and despicable part of the matter is, not to make reparations for damage done, whenever possible. Further abuses are: Wasting hot water for showers, wasting paper towels, and wasting food. Making unnecessary work for our professors, tutors, janitors, etc. must also l)e included in inconsiderate wastefulness, for it hinders them from doing other useful work. Similarly there are cases of wasting our fello\v-students, or neighbors' property, as when we, for example, yield to our anger and thirst for revenge by destroying another’s property. How often can’t we catch ourselves thinking something on this order when we could prevent the misuse of some one else’s property: “O, I don’t care, as long as it isn’t mine!’’ More neighi)oriy love and a spirit of co-operation in the student body would stop much of this inconsiderate wasting.

One may readily concede that wasting one’s own time and 111 oney is impractical and foolish.

But it is just as reasonable that we hel p save one another’s property, for humanity in general is ultimately benefited, and therefore we also. This is especially the 255

case with our Alma Mater. The more we waste the things she offers, the greater the burden becomes for us who are helping to maintain her. The losses from any kind of wastefulness sooner or later become mutual.

MILWAUKEE SUMMER PLAYGROUNDS The city of Milwaukee has organized a program of playground and recreational activities which is unequaled by any other city in the country. The school department is in every way possible meet­ ing the needs of school-age children and adults. Through legisla­ tive authority it is given permission to co-operate with the various municipal departments. This assists greatly in arranging its con­ structive plan. immediately after the The summer playgrounds are opened _ _ close of school in June, and continue until sessions are again begun in September. The reason for setting aside these grounds, and hav­ ing them supervised by paid men and women is not merely to “keep the children off the streets/* but also that “the learning in school be continuous with that out of school.” For this reason the daily program of the directors must include games of the muscular type and those which will take in other phases of education. And then, too, an effective program cannot be arranged without considering the ages of the boys and girls present during the day.

In the morning the greatest attention is given to the smaller children. This includes those who arc below the age of Uvelve.

The boys are trained and coached in highly organized games, simple games, apparatus work, and quiet-games. Highly organized games, as baseball, basketball, and volley ball are coached for team practice '* and organized competition. During the quiet-game period games are taught for memory and sense training. The girls and smaller boys are encouraged in less physical play, but are given paper and sand construction work to do; they are taught simple ring and singing games. .

In the afternoon the directors must give their special attention to boys and girls of high-school age. The games played by the boys at this time are practically the same as those played by the morning boys. Meets and contests are held to encourage large numbers of individuals to take part in play activities. The girls have picnics and play days, which give a vital interest in their par­ ticipation.

Young men and women and adults make up the greater part of the attendance in the evening. For this reason stunts, feats, and 256

娜；yun jj

P

play activities are organized by the directors for their benefit. Intcr-ijlayground contests are held. The older persons soon have a pride in their grounds, and thus take an active part in its adminis­ tration.

^pminarg Nnfe0 Letztes Mai haben wir nichts von uns hoeren lassen. Es war auch nichts zu berichten, ausser class wir drei Wochen Ferien gehabt haben—genug Grund fuel* unscr Sclnveigen. Etliche haben guten Gebrauch von den extra freien Tagen gemacht. Eigentlich waren sic aber nicht frei, da wir sie an verschiedenen Samstagen wieder nachholen mussten.

Brownsville unci Herr Baumann fehlten nach den Ferien.

Brownsville fand sich aber bald ein, nachdcni cs sich von ciner Erkaeltung und einer Operation erholt hatte, Unser Gcmuesehaendler aber hat sich noch nicht gezeigt. Es wurden ihm falsche Prophezeiungen vorgemacht. Jetzt soil er aber bald kommen.

Beschaeftigt sincl wir immer auf irgendeine Weise. Predigten Katechesen, Thesen, Entwuerfe fuer die Symbolik, hebraeische Verba geben den meisten lieben ihrer taeglichen Klassenarbeit genug zu tun. Jetzt haben aber etliche von uns noch einen Chor gegruendet welcher den Namcn "Seminary Clioral Society” tragen wird. Herr Lehrer Bergemann von West Allis ist unser Leiter. Im Fruehling, so Gott will, wollen wir ein Konzert geben.

Basketball spielen wir auch noch. Vor zwei Wochen, glaube ich, waren wir auch in Watertown. Die Watertowner haben sich wirklich in Acht genommen, wie wir cs ihnen ricten. Na, 'vir werden uns ja noch einmal selien. Gcnug davon! Mit den Milwaukee Badgers massen wir uns auch kuerzlich, waren ihnen auch in der ersten Haelfte wirklich vo raus. Ks war aber ein sehr, sehr langsames Spiel. Unser Stier konnte wegen cines in Watertown verletzten Kniees nicht mitspielen.

Vor zwei Jahrcn hatte es nicht ein einziges Mai im Januar getaut. Die wir in der Aula im alten Seminar geschafen haben, wissen das genau. Dieses Julir ist es gerade umgekehrt und will beinahe nicht frieren. So kommt es, dass es mit unserm Schlittschuhlaufen nicht weit her ist. Zwei haben es aber doch fertig gebracht, Eisbaeren zu spielen und im Fluss zu baden.

Etliche von uns haben sich kuerzlich ‘’flyer’s license” geben lassen.

Ein Schneesturm gab den Anlass.

Als wir nach dem Schneesturm eine Bahn ausgelegt batten, dann mit Wasser aus unserer Quelle sie zu Eis verwandelt hatten, holten wir unser Flugzeug, welches acht Passagiere leicht tragen kann, heraus. Schneller als der Wind gingen wir auf unserm TolDoggan den Berg hinab, indem wir wirklich die haelfte Zeit (lurch die Luft sausten. Herr Scharf und Herr Thiele haetten sich eigentlich einmal einen Fall258

4 schirni mitnehmen sollen. Herr Vater wollte zuletzt viel lieber fahren als Abendbrot essen.

Ein Prophet gilt nirgend weniger denn im Vaterland. Herr Sabrowsky bewies aber das Gegenteil. Als er neulich in Watertown in dcr St. Markus Kirche predigte, hat der Northwestern Col­ lege Chor unter Prof. Bolles Leitung sogar ein paar Lieder gesungen. Herr Sabrowsky will dafuer seinen Dank aussprechen.

Die Merrcn Scharf, Martin, Pankow unci Vogel haben sich in den letzten Tagen an die Bibliothek gemacht. Sie wollen uns ein jjanz neucs Verzeichnis ausarbeiten. Neulich hatten sie es mit der Kschatolugie zu tun, al)er sie sind iminer noch nicht fertig.

Unscr Hans vater, Herr Behrens, hat sich hinter unsere aechzenden Seminarstuchlc gemacht, um sie zu beruhigen. Wir alle, Professoren unci Studcnten, werden ihm dafuer dankbar sein.

Noch eins, zum Schluss! Die Mahlzeiten lassen jetzt nicht mdir vicl zu wucnschen uebrig!

On January 23 the Philomathian Literary Society presented a program which had been arranged by Mr. Vertz; Prof. Sitz acted as critic. The first number on the program was a clarinet duet by Harold Warnke and Norbert Ehlert, with Reginald Siegler as accompanist. The two clarinetists gave a good account of themselves, especially in respect to tone quality, in playing the Fantasia, “Cradle Song.” Miss Rasmussen, in her speech on “Woman Suffrage at Xortlnvcstern,” mentioned several much-needed improvements that would be beneficial to the Co-eds in particular. She contended that the social interrelation among the students is far from what it should be. That will, indeed, be readily admitted by any observer; but a radical change in our social life and activity would necessitate numerous other changes also, entailing a considerable expense. So we must, for the present at least, be content with conditions as they are; we should not, however, forget to appreciate what we are enjoying now in hoping for better conditions in the future.

As the next number on the program Mr. Wicke sang, 'A Perfeet Day.” Mr. Wicke has a pleasing baritone voice, although his enunciation is not always as distinct as it might be. Mr. Buenger's humorous impersonation of Will Rogers met with general applause; the speaker’s own humorous vein added greatly to the effect pro­ duced. Our “Gold-dust Twins of the Ivories,” Arnold and Winfred Lehmann, made a very favorable impression on the audience by playing the “Dance of the Demon,” a piano duet. Mr. Radloff de­ scribed a journey to the moon in a manner as H. G. Wells, the su­ perman, might depict it. The concluding number of the program was Hocus-Pocus,a bit of Oriental magic reproduced by Mr. Dahlke and Mr. Trapp. Surely everyone present enjoyed Mr. Dahl261

:

ke’s “vanishing acts” and Mr. Trapp’s way of introducing himself.

The Phi Gamma Rho gave the next literary program February 6. Prof. Schumann acted as critic and Mr. Dahlke as master of ceremonies. This program differed from previous programs in that the entire program was devoted to one subject, Watertown.

The orchestra opened the program by playing two num­ bers :“Tlie Trumpeter，” l)y Engelmann, and a march, **Tuscara­ was/' by King. The first speaker, W. Dobratz, acquainted us with the earliest history of Watertown, how the city was founded by a few settlers in 1836 and how it soon grew to a fair-sized village, its first store being opened in 1841. Mr. Rossin proved that Watertown believes in education, in his speech on the churches and schools. According to Mr. Resting, the next speaker, the railroad bond fight about eighty years ago gave Watertown a blow that nearly cost the city its life at the time, and permanently crippled its industrial and manufacturing activity.

Miss Luetta Schroeter favored the audience with a vocal solo, “Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life” by Rida Johnson Young. Mr. Heier, in his speech on the factories of the city, proved that Watertown has grown very little in the past few decades from an industrial standpoint. Mr. Kaspar reviewed the life of Karl Schurz, who was probably the most outstanding citizen Watertown ever had. Someone lias said of Mr. Schurz that he might have been president of the United States, if he had not come to Watertown. It is of interest to note that the first Kindergarten in America was opened in Watertown l)y Mrs. Karl Schurz in 1863. The last speaker of the evening, Mr. Kaschinske, described the stuffing and marketing of geese, an industry that has brought Watertown on the map more than any other. The “Vielimarkt” which has flourished for about seventy years, is now speedily becoming a thing of the past.

It has long been a point of debate among the officers of the literary societies, whether or not to give unified programs. The unified program was introduced this year for the first time, with the intent to give an opportunity of treating the various subjects more adequately than could be done in any short individual speech.

Vi After the Spring clearance sales the merchants everywhere are taking inventory of their stock. The “Luther College Visitor” of January gives us a few ideas on this subject. The merchants everywhere have disposed of their old and useless stock at very low prices and have substituted for it new stock that is in demand.

The ’.Visitor” asks, “Have you taken Spring inventory of your­ self ?" Have you discarded your old and useless thoughts and ideas and laid in a stock of new ones? If not, there is no better time than this. But a merchant does not discard his old stock indiscrimi­ nately. He knows that some things are of lasting value and should not be discarded. He will not discard a valuable piece of furniture to replace it by a modernistic piece for he knows that, while the latter may be popular for a time, the former will always be m demand. So also we should not throw away ideals and thoughts that are of lasting value but carefully sift our stock and discard only the useless.

The "Lawrence Alumnus ’’of January brings us an interesting article on a new institution that’is fast gaining popularity—the Alumni College. The idea was ioriginated by W. M. Lewis of La Fayette College. Realizing that new things _ come up_ continually_ in the different branches of study which would be valuable to alumni who had pursued that subject, he a year ago last June instituted a week of classes and lectures open to alumni immediately after Commencement. This gave the alumni a chance to get back into the College atmosphere. Many who came to scoff remained for 263

丨

the lectures. The idea spread quickly. Last Spring a number of colleges and universities instituted alumni colleges with great success and the coining Spring will no doubt find many more schools picking up the idea.

According to the **Carthage Collegian” of February 9, a unique innovation was added to the Public Speaking course at Carthage College. A banquet was given for the Public Speaking class at which each meml)er of the class spoke on some topic of spec ial interest to him. The nienibers were given their g rades in the，course according to their ability to speak here. The purpose was to accus­ tom the students to speak easily and forcibly before a company.

Not so bad, eh?

Acknowledgment is due the “Collegian” of St. Joseph’s for its very favorable comments on the two editorials “Our Latin and Greek Counts” and "The Honor System at Northwestern” which appeared in the Christmas number of the Black and Red.

ATOMflTltS Whitewater 36; Northwestern 17 Whitewater, Jan. 17.—In a one-sided game Northwestern’s cagers suffered defeat at the hands of the Whitewater Teachers, 36-17. The Normal ites assumed an early lead and were never headed by the visitors. The Whitewater superior offense, built upoi) accurate passing, efficient teamwork and a variable and de­ ceptive attack, enabled the Teachers to grab an early lead and ac­ counts for the rather top-heavy final score.

264

A sketch of the Northwestern five’s performance in the en­ counter will reveal a marked contrast. Practically all plays that were* employed in an attempt to work the ball down the floor either refused to function, because of the unstable and inconstant char­ acter of the execution, or their progress was checked by the referee, who possessed an eye unusually sharp at detecting fouls and running. An individual style of play was, consequently, resorted to.

This deficiency not only weakened the offense, but in a short time broke down the morale of the. entire team. An attempt to bolster up the limping quintet through numerous substitutions proved in­ effectual. "I'lie score at the half stood 17-7 in favor of Whitewater.

I luehner, the acc of the triumphant team’s attack, collected five field goals. Raasch led Northwestern scorers with four free tosses.

Lake Forest 29; Northwestern 22 Lake Forest, 111. — On January 20, Northwestern was vanquislicd by Lake Forest, 29-22, in a hard-fought game. The shift in line-up, to which the team was subjected immediately after the Christmas recess when several new men were fitted into the combination, bore first fruits in this contest. The Black and Red war­ riors displayed a speedier attack, smoother passing, better teamwork and in general a better brand of basketball than in any other game to date. Northwestern was in the front the greater share of the first period and led at the half, 14-13.

Lake Forest presented a powerful combination in Ferzacca, Prehl，and Stralko. The activities of these men were deftly held under sway by the Northwestern guards in the first period, but as the second period wore on the Northwestern defense began to sag under the swift pace. Lake Forest slowly forged ahead. In the last five minutes of play the Northwestern wall collapsed completely and allowed the Gold Coasters to pile up the winning margin.

Ferzacca and Strahlko headed the Lake Forest scorers with seven and eight points respectively. Martin and Harke shared

0 0 Ashton, rg-----0 Johnson, lg -— Northwestern 22; Seminary 17 Watertown, Jan. 24.—In a hotly contested encounter North­ western upset the Seminary team of Thiensville, nosing out a 22-17 victory. The jinx which had hovered over the Black and Reel cagers for weeks seemed to have been dispelled by some supernatural force, for the Northwestern 1)asketcers outplayed their op­ ponents, who had been favored to win, in almost every department of the game. The game took a favorable turn for Northwestern from the very beginning. The Black and Red squad presented a menacing attack, passed with accuracy, complacently sunk difficult shots and in general evinced an alertness 'vliicli was a pleasure to witness and which bade fair to work havoc with the splendid past record of the Seminary.

Northwestern swung into action immediately after the first tip-off with a field goal by Harke, Hereupon the count was run up to several baskets before the Seminary registered. Their attack was launched pell-mell, however, with too much individual playing to penetrate the Northwestern defense. The end of the first period found the Seminary trailing, 10-4.

Hostilities were resumed in the second period with renewed vigor on both sides. The period was marked by hard fighting and scrappy playing, which at times became so violent and strained as to arouse personal animosities between the individaul members of the opposing teams. Accuracy from the foul line was the deciding factor of the game for Northwestern, for the winning margin, a total of nine points, was scored on free throws. It must be admitted in behalf of the Seminarians that they experienced “hard luck,” for only a small percentage of numerous chances at the hoop resulted in tallies.

Carroll 50; Northwestern 21 Watertown.—On February 5, Northwestern’s cagers were dealt a pommeling： on their own court by the Pioneers of Waukesha. ,4Stretch" Vander Meullen, as in the tilt earlier in the season, again was the main spring of Carroll's strength, the key-man around whom all the Carroll plays revolved. He calmly pulled passes out of the air and complacently lofted them into the hoops. Most of tlie markers were tipped in off the rebound, not always with the gracefulness and elegance, however, that is usually associated with basketball stars. Vander Meullen collected a total of eight field goals throughout the course of the game, whereas, Hinckley, the other half of the famous **Hinckley-Vander Meullen combination” was held to three field goals and two free throws. Goerke gath­ ered four field goals and a free shot. Dillingofski added three field goals and a free throw to the total. The score at the half favored Carroll, 27-9.

The rangy Pioneers unleashed an inauspicious, swift-driving attack at the start of the contest which carried the Black and Red cagers off their feet. They hardly regained their equilibrium for the rest of the game. Although they were not successful throughout the whole game in stemming the onslaught of the powerful Carroll offense, which swept everything before it, amassing a rather top-heavy score, yet when we consider the ill-matched odds that our team was bucking up against, the defeat is not as disgraceful as 丨the large gap in the score might seem to indicate. That our team bore up nobly under the pressure of a team that so obviously outclassed it can hardly be denied.

The Northwestern team registered surprises aplenty for the spectators by darting through the Carroll wall for an occasional basket and by sinking desperate overhead shots. Zimpelmann was the main cog in the Northwestern offensive machine through his outstanding floor work as well as through his scoring ability. He topped Northwestern scorers with two field goals and two free 267

Milton 32; Northwestern 27 Milton, Fel). 7.—A spirited comeback in the last minutes of the second half enabled Milton to hand Northwestern a 31 to 27 set­ back. It was a rough game, rough and tumble tactics being employed by both teams. Two men from each team were removed from the game on account of fouls.

The Black and Red hoopers snatched an early lead and ran the count up to nine points before the Milton sharpshooters began to make their presence felt. Although Northwestern held the edge in the first half, Milton manifested unfeigned designs of bridging the gap and continually threatened to push into the foreground.

The score at the intermission favored Northwestern, 18-17.

The first part of the second period was fought on about even terms by the opposing teams. The score kept fluctuating from one side to the other until about five minutes before the end of the tilt.

At this juncture Milton staged a timely rally before whose impact Northwestern succumbed. In the last minutes of play Milton sank several spectacular baskets which gave them a 4-point advantage at the final sound of the gun. Northwestern did not get back into the running for the remainder of the game.

The reliable eyes of Jarvis, Dickoff and Barlass, the luminary and bight-point man of the evening, were the deciding factor in the Milton triumph. That the Northwestern squad was somewhat bleary-eyed in its shooting must be inferred from statistics; out of a total of thirty-three chances at the hoop in the second half but three resulted in baskets. Stuhr headed Northwestern’s scoring list with 9 points.

Milwaukee.—On February 10 the Milwaukee State Teachers College edged out a 38-36 victory over Northwestern’s loopers. The Teachers sprang to an early lead which they were able to hold the entire game. They held the advantage the first half, having the ball in their own territory a majority of the time. Several indi­ vidual members of the Teacher’s squad handled the ball proficiently and displayed ability at finding their man while breaking through, l)m the attack was not always waged with precision. Northwestern crawled up to within a few points of its opponents shortly before the half and was found on the short end of the score at the half, 16-19.

In the second period Northwestern suffered severely at times from ragged passing, losing the ball many times in scoring territor)，. VVith the Teachers holding a 10-point advantage about six • minutes before the close of the contest, Northwestern, however, took a brace and staged a rally that bade fair to turn the tables. Sev­ eral were dashed in, and the gap in the score was soon whittled down to 36-37. In the furious last-minute struggle which followed, the victory was finally pulled out of the fire by Captain Gother, who netted a free shot to give his team the winning margin. A total of thirty-three fouls were called in the game. Many free shots were missed on both sides.

The best work for the Normalites was turned in by Gother and Skornicke. The best work for Northwestern was turned in by Martin, who garnered practically one-half of Northwestern’s counters.

Because of unfavorable weather conditions and local static ihe following new year's resolutions were not received clearly for the Sophomore number. Giesclien resolved to put one over on Fischer April first. Trapp resolved not to make another slip while walking down steps.

Mr. Wally Koehler, ev. '31, was married to Miss Joyce Becker on February seventh. Mr. K. Vertz was best man with Miss Floy Becker as maid-of-honor. ’’Spike” reports that all had a wonder­ ful time. We believe him, because it took him three days to get over it.

“Bingo” and Raasch were guests at a banquet given at the Washington Hotel, February eighth. They had the opportunity to hear coach Murry of Marquette University, Milwaukee, give a talk on football.

Evidently some of our “preps” are preparing for springtime serenading. They are doing some faithful practicing1 on—no not a banjo or mandolin. It’s something new, jew's-harps and mouthorgans.

If any one wants his will power trained call on Thurow. He has a modern way of making himself come to time. In case his conscience says no when he wants to go over to the store, he goes, to show his conscience that he has will power enough to go despite its protest.

A1 Maas is “hors de combat” again. The other morning his roommates hung crepe on their door, because A1 seemed unable to get up. Now he is having trouble with his wisdom teeth. Weisheit muss Pein leiden.

The greatest egotist is the person who can sing “You Have 270

t the Cutest Little Baby Face” while standing before a mirror. It actually happened.

It seems as if finally a cure has been found for this terrible disease “pigritia.” All victims are now promptly sent to the sick­ room where they receive special treatment. Class “bumming” has noticeably decreased. Perhaps something could also be done to help those who are afflicted with “soniambulism.”

Hockey Reports The Northwestern Puck Chasers have so far played four games.

Out of these four the boys lost three and tied one. The scores bein^ as follows: Falcons 2, Puck Chasers 0: Mamre 3, Puck Chasers 0; High Spots 1, Puck Chasers 1; High Spots 3, Puck Chasers 0.

So far Bussewitz has been doing the starring. There are about five more games to be played, one with Lake Mills, one with the Wild Cats, one with the High School, and return games with Mamre and the Falcons. Siegler has hopes for a few victories. Every­ one is working better. When they begin to break hockey-clubs it’s a good sign. About a dozen were broken up to this time.

Gladys Hallet attended the Phi Mu formal at Lawrence Col­ lege on Saturday, the seventh of February, and spent the remainder of the week-end as the guest of Elaine Schimmel.

One of the Co-eds brought a portable phonograph for use in the girls’ room. The record, “You’re Driving Me Crazy,” has almost been worn out.

Among the things criticised at a recent meeting of the literary society was the Co-ed Column of the Black and Red. Unless the purpose of the Column is changed I can see no way in which the material given can be changed. The Column, as I understand, is to tell some of the things which the girls are doing. The material is limited. The girls themselves are reluctant to tell what they have been doing-. Much material cannot be put into the Black and Red, because of its very nature. The Co-eds should not be a mere cata­ logue of who is going with whom. The notice of some of the parties the girls give is not entered, because personal enmity might be created as a result of some not having been invited.

The readers of the Black and Red must either be satisfied with the material as presented, or to remedy the dullness of the Column.

I should suggest a new column, “The Co-eds’ point of view, consisting of an editorial each month by a Co-ed, on any subject she may think of interest to present from a woman’s view point.

Ed’s. Note: The idea may be all right, but as far as editorials are concerned the Co-eds are welcome to place their editorials in the editorial section. There is no clause in our constitution, so far as I know, which prohibits them from doing so. More literary ma­ terial would also be welcomed.

Suddenly a great excitement arose in the rear of the classroom.

The irritated Prof.: “Now what’s wrong back there, Harke?”

Harke: "A bee.”

Prof, (sternly) : “Well, let her be Meyer, looking at Schultz's watch during a band rehearsal: •’It’s funny our watches agree for once. I have twenty-two to two too today.” * And a Junior at That!

Prof., in German class: “Give me the German for “He had his heart at the right spot.”

Dornfeld: “Er hatte sein Herz auf dem rechten Klecks.”

Als cin Professor neulich bemerkt, **Ein Traeumer kann auch manchmal wach sein,” stimmte Heier ihm energisch bci.

Kaspar: ** A man with two wives is a bigamist. Isn’t he, BatzlafT?" Batzlaff: “No, he’s a pigamist; “pig” means ^to hog,” and “amist” comes from amare, “to love”： A hog for love.”

Prof.: "ITahni, was ist der GegeiivSatz von Ursache?”

Halim (after five minutes of deep reflection) : “Keine Ursache.

A Hot One Otto Heier thought he had been pursued by Amazons and taken captive. They placed him in a frying pan over a roaring fire and left his head hanging clown, so that the flames beat furiously against his face. After he had held this position for a while, the cook be­ gan to prod him with a long pole一he awoke to find himself sleep­ ing on the radiator with the steam from the valve spouting into his face, and the hall-monitor prodding him in the ribs.

Just as Freitag was furiously knocking Haefner around in the classroom with well-directed blows, the professor walked in. Greatly astonished he called to him: “Well, Freitag, Freitag!”

Freitag: “I warned him.” 氺本本 "Say, Rope, what is a small sheep?”

Kreie, wanting some horn-rimmed spectacles, entered Sproesser’s jewelry store and accosted the manager; “I’d like to see some horn-spect rimtacles, or, pardon me, I mean some rim-spect horntacles! Ain’t it? Or, no—a—some spect-homed rimtacles!”

Disgusted Manager: “Clerk, sell this man some spect-rimmed liorntacles.”

AU REVOIR With this, the Senior Number, the staff of Volume XXXIV puts off its robe of purple and passes into oblivion. But we shall not forget. In fact, we shall always bear in mind what hours of good honest work we put into the volume, and the pleasure and benefits derived from the work. Even though we were sometimes much discouraged, yet we kept a stiff upper lip, always saying that the next number would be better than the last. Whether or not we have succeeded, we leave to your judgment.

"We hereby wish to thank the typists, all those who contributed, Miss Faber, who kindly wrote the Co-ed Notes, Mr. Reuter, who sent the Seminary Notes, in short, every one who helped us realize this volume.

We also extend our sincere wishes for a prosperous and brilliant year to the staff of Volume XXXV. The faculty has granted the new staff another man to assist in the business end of the Black and Red. A freshman, Carlton Toppe, was chosen, thus placing two freshmen on the staff.

ON A WINDY DAY Tis no great wisdom, nor abstruse To know that sailing is little use: But since we know not what we arc And are not sure what we may be (Though hope asseverate passionately) ’Tis best to set our sea-mark far And sail directly for a star.

Most of the fibres of our brain Know with a dark, persistent pain That stars are not for men to gain.

But, finer spun and strung more high Than those fine threads of ear and eye, A sense that's deeper than a thought Has inextricably caught, And holds, this song:

Be off! Be off! All men have failed That sought to reach them heretofore; AH 'have met storm that ever sailed And wrecks shall be for many more—•• But be thou strong— 278

DE RISU Laughter, as we all know, is a deviation from the natural pro­ cess of respiration. When we laugh we breath in short quick jerks, open our mouth, and utter forth singular, inarticulate sounds or noises, each individual his peculiar kind. Many books have been written on why we laugh and how we laugh. Just two things will he touched upon in this article, the benefits of laughter and the kinds of laughter. Nietzsche says man developed the laugh through pessimism. Man alone of all creatures suffers so deeply, that he had to invent laughing to counteract his sorrow. Schopenhauer tells us that the laugh is the spring of happiness. It is brought about every time something happens that does not agree with the ordinary. Our feelings are excited, we laugh, and a pleasing aftercfifect (ein lustbetontes Wohlbefinden) remains. Kant goes a step farther. He looks at laughing as a recreation for the spirit.

Laughter is the spring of happiness. After sitting for hours at your desk and studying your Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and doing your collateral reading, you do not feel so happy. You arc *irri­ table, nervous. grouchy. No wonder, in that scdantary position your lungs, liver, pancreas, spleen, ductless glands, and stomach are woefully crowded together. The blood circulation in them becomes sluggish. Something has to be clone to bring about normal circulation. Nothing is so effective for this purpose as a hearty laugh, because in the up and down movements of the diaphragm these organs and glands are thoroughly massaged. You will soon feel better after a laugh. Don’t take yourself too seriously.

Laughter is recreation for the spirit. When you feel worried, downcast, melancholy, downhearted about a coming examination or a recent failure in this or that subject, or when you feel that all your studying is getting you nowhere, you are taking yourself too seriously again. Have your friend tell you a good joke. A good way to get rid of worries is "to laugh them off. If you worry about this little thing and that little thing, you begin to concentrate too much on yourself. That’s dangerous. You’ll begin to take yourself too seriously. You will become so important in your eyes that anything that happens to you, be it yet so insignificant, will 279

备'.;f seem of very great significance to you. In order to get rid of this feeling, you must think of something outside of you. Sometimes that is hard to do, Init a good laugh usually does the trick. Some one once said : “It’s a mighty good thing for a dog to have fleas, because it keeps him from thinking too much about the fact that lie is a (log.” For us hearty laughter serves the same purpose as the fleas for the dog.

Now just a few words about kinds of laughter. The natural lauj^h may he classified according to the German vowels: ci-e-i-o-u.

The “a” laujjh is a frank and loyal ha ha ha, which characterizes a person fond of bustle and movement. Generally such a person is of a versatile character. Next in line is the phlegmatic, melan­ choly he he he. Then comes the timid, irresolute, candid, affec­ tionate hi lii lii.—Very significant of the spinster.—The “o” laugh sliows a generous, bold, self-confident person. .Just listen to the sclf-confidcncc in the ho ho ho! The “u” laugh is really no laugh at all. It’s a cb.iractcristic grunt oE a person who bears a grudge ag-ainst the luim.m race for some reason or other.

Outside of this natural scale we find the smile, snicker, giggle, chuckle, sneer, and grin. It will not be necessary to say much about them except a few words on the .giggle and the smile.

Cii狀ling is a pecular weakness of most girls and some women, and— some men. A giggle is of such a nature that it “gets under y<uir skin.’’ Haven’t you often felt like choking somebody who constantly kept 011 giggling in your presence? If the guilty party happened to l)e a man—well, he can thank his lucky stars you did not give him “something to remember you by.” Giggling is a sign of lack of self-control and ill breeding. No doubt the gigglers will vehemently object to this and tell us they cannot help it, be­ cause they have such a keen sense of humor. Maybe they have, but that does not give them the right to make everybody around them uncomfortable. Half the time a person with just an ordinary sense of humor does not know what the giggle is all about.—Most of the time gigglers themselves do not know.—If a person is over­ sensitive, he will imagine himself the butt of the joke. Gigglers ought to have a little consideration for such a person.

Some people say a smile is dull and purposeless. That does not seem to be the truth. We like to see people smile. There is something about smiles that fascinates us. Some seem to have an unusual power. They are everything but dull and purposeless.

Even those hid by coat collars or coat sleeves have something charming about them.

If we can smile, it does not take much of an effort to laugh.

If we can laugh, we are lucky, because laughter is the spring of

happiness and recreation for the spirit. And let’s remember a laugh a day is a blessing.

J. C. D.,，31.

A MOONLIGHT EXCURSION ON THE MISSISSIPPI With one of Wisconsin’s famous March snowstorms blustering, howling, or rattling—all depending on its capricious mood—against our dormitory windows; and with my memory continually taking me up the ‘ole Mississip’，with an August moon to light up my dream pictures, I might just as well follow the path of least rcsi stance and let the dream-train carry me back to the other side of Wisconsin and to seven months' ago.

There’s nothing so extraordinary about a moonlight excursion.

Why should a dinky little three-decker of a steamer, docked along Riverside Park in La Crosse, with all three decks swarming with people, and a coon jazz orchestra starting： to “pep” things lip, why should an overworked, unromantic college student like me bothered by all this in the middle of a snowstorm ? Those of you who live in the Mississippi Valley will know. It’s the wooded hills, bluffs, and the Father of Waters himself that make a senti­ mental fool out of even the most practical-minded man. Goodbye snowstorm, \ve，re back in a warm August evening, with the sun iust dropping out of sight back of one of those bluffs up towards Winona. We’re on the top deck of the steamer ‘Capitol’ watching the crowd. The steam whistle suddenly blares out twice, and the gang^ plank is quickly hauled in. The large paddle-wheels start to churn up the water, and we gradually pull out towards the mid­ dle of the river. There's a warm, dull glow in the clear night sky above the distant bluffs behind us; it is the moon making ready to peek over the edge and to fill this most beautiful valley on earth with its cool, silvery light. The lights of La Crosse are beginning to fall behind us; the greenish red sky in front of us is turning to a violet blue; and a cool evening breeze is coming down the valley, bringing with it big clumsy June bugs, gray night-moths, and thousands of gray swallows and nighthawks. The four of us go down to the first deck where the coons are “whooping it up” with “Hold That Tiger.” This deck is lit with a great number of different colored lights, and at present the bright-colored ones are m 'the majority in order to harmonize with the fast fox-trot. Those blaring trumpets, those blatant trombones dragging a note from one end of the scale to the other and back, that snare drummer rattling away like a maniac, the whole orchestra bobbing up and down like demons, the swaying crowd一all this doesn’t seem to fit in with the quiet and natural beauty of an August evening on the Father of 281

Waters. But what cares that swaying, laughing crowd for such simple and quiet beauty. Those people are out for pleasure. They don't want just simple joy. Well, we’ll taste of their pleasures.

Now the orchestra begins to play a soft, gentle waltz. The bright red, yellow, and white lights are turned off leaving only the blue, green, and violet ones to dimly light the deck. Surely, there’s nothing quite so wonderful as this. How can a few twittering birds out there in the hills, and the constant sound of lapping water against the boat compare with this? At first it seems impossible, luit one gradually begins to realize that if he were to listen to that orchestra an hour or more, it would become tiresome; if he were to listen to it day in and day out it would soon make a raving maniac of him. On the other hand, out here on the cool upper deck again, with the bright moon flooding the valley with light; making the mysterious river below you to shimmer on every ripple; and throw­ ing the dark, irregular bluffs into bold relief—would these become tiresome? Could these ever bore you, or jar your nerves? Not mine!

We have finally gone up the river as far as the excursion will go. The paddles stop churning, there are only a few lights up here|on this deck. It seems as if the powerful river is slowly carrying us down stream. We aren’t the only ones who know where to find the greatest joy. There are other people up here, sonic leaning against the rails, some sitting back in the wicker chairs looking, or listening with eyes closed, or softly talking to their neighbors. This majestic calm certainly is a huge contrast to that swinging, oscillating orchestra down below. When there is a short lull in the music, we can hear many different familiar and strange night noises. The buzzing of countless insects, the croaking of millions of frogs, strange cries of water animals, this immense orchestra can be heard playing over there in one of the countless sloughs along the river. Occasionally a whippoorwill sends forth its plaintive call from away back there in one of those dark coulees. Yes, it almost seems as if we can hear the faint tinkling of a cowbell upon one of the ridges hundreds of feet above the river. But that must be something else, because the tops of these ridges are too far away. And there goes another bell—but what a difference. This one is a nerve-racking, discordant, unharmonious, harsh, cacophonous bell. It’s the same one that wakes us in the morning and calls ns to classes. Here I sit a hundred and eighty miles from the Mississippi, with the August moon probably shining down in balmy Spain, but not in tough old Wisconsin. The only mountains around here are mountains of work—no place for a dreamer. So goodbye, Mississippi一I’ll see you this summer.

H. Siegler.

“SHORTY” It was a lazy summer Sunday afternoon that found me at home alone sitting on the front porch and doing nothing. A short jnan came down the road at a pretty fast gait. The small steps he took would have put any army captain into a fit.

The man had reached the mailbox when, seeing me, he turned into the yard. Before he was halfway lip to me he addressed me: “How d’you do, suh.”

“How do you do,” I replied.

“Ts your mamma home?”

“No, sir, I’m home alone.”

“Well, well, now what d’you know about that, heh, heh. Harry Moah’s (Moore) my name. ’Shawty’ faw sha'vt..”

“Is there anything you want?” I asked, slightly amused by his manner and talk.

“Yessuh, I’(l like a half dozen of aigs.M I rose to go after them, and when T was already halfway in the the doorway, he called: “Can I get a quawtah pound of butter, too?”

“All right, ‘Shorty,’ I guess so.”

I brought him the things and asked for the money, although I didn’t think he had it. He set his eggs and butter down with a hearty “thank you, suh, thank you, suh, thank you, suh.” He then reached deep down in all his pockets but his hands brought nothing out. I didn’t expect his pockets capable of holding anything, be­ cause they seemed too deep for such trousers as his. Showing sur­ prise in not finding the money he said: “I ain’t got no money jest now, but I’ll pay you aftah I uhn some picking berries. Iiow’s that?”

If he was looking for a place to pick berries, I was satisfied.

Then I wouldn't have to pick so many myself. I told him it would be all right. Then coming up to me in the most confidential man­ ner he asked me with a smile: “Say, son, got some wine ? Heh, heh. I’m dry as a bone.1 Now, how did he know I had wine ? He had never been here before. At first I was going to send him to the pump, but upon second thought I saw here was a good chance to spend part of the afternoon. And besides he looked harmless. Even if complica­ tions would have set in, I was sure I could have easily taken care of him.

I brought out wine for him and myself. What• a satisfied look he had when he beheld the red fluid. The smile alone was worth the wine. We both sat down. He took off his； cap and re283

ceivecl the glassful with an eager hand. Taking a sip he expressed his joy.

“Ah, what a treat for a dry throat!” he exclaimed. And like everybody else he, too, held up the glass to examine the clarity of the grape, although he knew nothing of the real quality.

“I’ll bet you nevah get tiahd of that stuff, do you?”

I laughed. “No, not exactly. I never drink enough of it 10 affect me that much.”

“Heli，heh. Looks as if I’ll have to finish it, huh ? Heh, heh/' T was interested in the* fellow. I knew he was as ju iust another one of the American bums who make any place their home.

Blit “Shorty” seemed different. There was nothing slouchy about him.

He was hardly more than four feet, ten. His hair was almost nil gray, but I doubted whether it was caused by worry, because the twinkle in liis small, narrow eyes seemed to disprove it. His halfgrown beard also gave a sign of his wandering. He even had a 'vliite shirt on, and although the rest of his clothes looked wcllworn, as is characteristic of bums, they nevertheless were clean.

His trousers had seen a considerable amount of service as was indi­ cated by the patches that adorned them. I silently gave him credit for his handiwork at patching; he certainly had me beaten by far.

His short stature no doubt gave him his nick-name, but he right­ fully could have received it from his trousers—they reached almost to his ankles.

Not a cent had he in his pockets and just as many teeth in his mouth. And yet, in spite of his poverty, he was happy.

“T suppose you’ve done some traveling,” I remarked.

‘You said it, son. People mighta thought I was born iraveling, heh, heh!” and he drained his glass. I filled it again, and he continued in his talk.

“No suh, theah’s hahdly a state I haven’t set foot on. I jest §：ot to keep on movin，. I guess it’s right in my blood. I be a little feller, but the country's seen quite a bit of me, heh, hell!”

Pretending ignorance of his mode of travel I asked: “How do you like a Pullman?” ， “A Pullman ? Heh, heh! Nevah rode in one. Don’t think I’d evah accept the offah, because they’d kick me off befaw I p^ot settled clown. You see T nevah buy a ticket, heh, heh.”

“Dkl you ever pay for a ride?” I asked.

“Yessuh，just once. Lost my cap riding the “rods” once. Had to let it go ; othahwise I，d lost my head. So fah I ain’t been neah death yet,” Then looking at his glass again he blinked and said: “But I reckon this 'vine’d bring any one to life again, heh, heh V' and let the liquor gurgle clown his throat.

284

^ ：H成 j I didn't know whether he expected more or not, as he smacked his lips and looked at the empty glass. At any rate, I didn’t even give him the benefit of a doubt. I took the glass, and leaving told him he could report for work in the morning. He assured me he would stay if all Sundays were like this one.

“Shorty” picked his berries in satisfactory condition; but when it came to picking cherries, one had to keep an eye on him. Since the cherries had to be picked with the stems and the tops of the cases had to be “faced，” it took a great amount of time. Shorty thought he had a better method. When he was ready to do the facing he stripped the cherries without the stems and let them serve as the facing in this way. It did resemble the facing very much, but upon closer observation the trick was easily detected.

“You try that again, ‘Shorty，’ and you’ll get kicked out!”

“Shorty” only gave a good natured laugh and an “uh luili，’， but his fear was noticeable.

One day after dinner I asked him: 44Say, ’Shorty，，did you ever have a lot of money?”

“Well，once,” he slowly replied, as if looking far back into the past. “Had a lot of it once, but it buhned my pockets until gamb­ ling got it.

I'll bet you were popular with the girls then, Shorty. Not so?

“Heh, heh,” lie laughed, brightening up. “Yessuh I (lid like girls some, but I wasn't shuah whethah they liked me, hell, heh! I don’t think I was a riddle, but they didn't seem to undahstand me.”

“How’s that?” I inquisitively asked.

“I mean my talking. You see I didn’t have any teeth, heh, heh!

By picking fruit “Shorty” was able to save enough money to buy a set of teeth. Yet I seldom saw him use them. He usually put them in the same hind pocket with his plug of tobacco, prob­ ably to let them do the chewing there. I noticed too, that he was quite careful upon sitting down lest he bite himself.

It was a treat in itself to watch him eat ice cream. His jaws worked like a rabbit’s. He chewed on ice cream as if chewing on an apple. It was his luck that he had no teeth to be sensitive to the cold.

But since he came to our part of the country, his whole body was seldom exposed to the cold. After the fruit harvest he left US. The following spring I chanced to meet him in the city and noticed that he still had his “high-water” trousers on.

“We.ll * ShortyI greeted him, “where have you been the whole winter?”

“Heh, heh. In the county jail.”

285

“Jail? Ah ha, for breach of promise, wasn’t it?”

“No, no, no. Needed sleep, eats, and tobacco, so I got drunk, smashed a couple windows and got my room and boalicl out of it.”

“Did you like it there?”

“Well, they wouldn’t a needed any bahs on the window of my cell. Heh, heh!”

I never saw him much after this meeting. He picked fruit in the neighborhood that summer, but a grave misfortune befell him.

He was staying with some other bums that year and all the money lie had earned (about ninety dollars in all. according to his report) was taken from him one night in his sleep, although he had it pinned tightly ill his shirt.

He probably left to look for the other bums, but I always exl>cct to see him reappear some summer either for the fruit or for the wine, or both. , Froehlich. i

PUTTING THE MICROSCOPE ON THE SENIORS Again I call you, my Muse, to bring me forth from the somni­ ferous ennui of my Inirdcnsonie student life, in order to awaken in me an inspirational vein of original humor. Ah me, none realize what a task lies before me. I ani going to endeavor to describe tlic individuals of the immortal Class of ’31, as I have seen them for almost a decade. I shall attempt to present them unbiased, alive, true to life, with their weaknesses and idiosyncrasies. Homer, in describing his immortal characters, never failed to present them as they were. T do not say, I am a Homer; I am only a humble individual of the Class of ’31，who is striving against the elements to represent his class in all its simplicity and magnitude.

The Class of ’31! What a class! What members! Although we have gone through the stormy existence of eight years of in­ tellectual betterment, yet this has only been the lull before the storm which shall follow in future years.

The Class of ’31 has been termed the bachelor class. What a gross misnomer; for the majority of the class has been pierced tlirough and through by cupid’s unrelenting arrows. Whereas a few are still following the path of least resistance, free to go and come as they will; yet in a short time these undoubtedly will also begin to seek their future better-halves. Now I shall leave the class as a whole in its wisdom, strength, and unity to allow its light to shine forth on all the corners of the earth, and attempt a representation of its members.

Formally I shall begin with “Fat” Schewe, our most respected 286

president. The words of Jacques describe him well: “Je巧lous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,” yet continually smiling at pleasure and misfortune alike. “Konks” Engel, the vice-president, does by no means belittle his name. Behind a mask of indifference lies a mass of wisdom. “Bandy” Siegler, our trusted secretary and treasurer, an Adonis without a doubt, is still seeking the “whys” and “wherefores” of the “ways and means.” “Bill” Fischer, our “What-a-nian” from Concordia, keeps us spirited and full of laugh­ ter day in and clay out. “Red” Rossin, a friend of man and animal alike, plays a contemplative and conservative role in school as in play. “Has Been” Schultz, the man from North Milwaukee, still holds his own, although Dr. Ott has said, that our Hans shall die in his conceit. “Had” Warlike is that enviable mortal, who can go through life performing his duties in a perfunctory manner.

Oscar Naumann, the man with the self-made convictions, we hope to see as a Hebrew professor some day. “Amie” Schwerin, our l'lond athlete, continues to be the S. P. of all the co-eds. “Doc” Peters is still endeavoring to supersede his idol, Tschaikowsky. I must not forget our affable nymph-like “Speed” Sippert, who buzzes busily about from day to clay performing his arduous tasks as only a busy-body can. Almost every member of the class has sought to make a peace compact with “Slim” Baumann due to his pugilistic inclinations, which have created the “spoonerism” “Bim Slauinann.” “Si” Schultz, our thundering herdsman from Wyom­ ing, presents a vivid example of real manhood. “Chubby” Raasch, just another “he-man” from the wide open spaces, where men are men, bears the corn-cob as the emblem of his state.“ Andy” Froehlicli in his unique and quiet manner well justifies his ancestral name.

“Jack” Dahlke, that fair-complexioned mystic, has won the reputa­ tion of no longer being a misogynist. Paul Heyn, the man with the coat of many colors, sad to say, has become an addict of som­ nambulism. “Corny” Trapp could no longer exist bereft of his Alma Mater. I have intentionally left “Cutie” Krueger, a curlyhaired youth, to the last. Eventually he and our indifferent “Had” "Warlike have found retirement from the woes and tribulation of dormitory life. Last of all the undersigned offers himself for close scrutiny and criticism, for he well knows his own eccentricities to be as manifold and multifarious as any human’s.

In concluding this rambling and “humble-jumble” of thoughts and ideas, I present the Senior class again as a whole—a class in­ vincible—one for all and all for one.

MARCH WIND

Here comes the wind from the North, Like a caravan of steel in the distance Grumbling unceasingly under its burdens, Drawn by an ever whistling monster, Driving before him, as his western brother Drives before him the sands of the desert, A host of minute, tender snowflakes, Which he blows here and there, erecting Mounds on the spaces exposed all the winter, Building impenetrable walls on the highways, Stubbornly undoing the work of the patrolman.

Yet, he lulls that weary laborer, whom he In his fury has beaten the day long, To sleep with a seething, soothing melody.

INTERCLASS KITTENBALL Several years ago when the rumor 'vas about that intercollegiate baseball was to be dropped, the idea of introducing interclass kittenball was suggested to the athletic board. No action was taken l)y them, however; so I am introducing the matter to the student body.

It is true we now belong to the Industrial Baseball League, but how many of us play on the baseball team ? Those who do not play have no occasion to get in a little exercise outside of a few who play golf or go swimming regularly. Why not give all our students this beneficial sport and enjoyable exercise ? Do not think for a moment that it is a game for small boys and girls only.

There is an art in handling even a soft ball. One just has to know how to play baseball in order to play this game. Many of the ball players in the big leagues keep fit in winter by playing it.

These games besides giving exercise would also be good recreation, and I can be safe in saying that as much enthusiasm would be found for these games as one finds for our interclass basketball struggles. The games would furnish that attraction which is so necessary to keep up the interest of the students in spring. When these games are being played, there will be “some­ thing doing” ； and where there is “something doing■” in a small college town, the students are right in the midst of it.

WAS HAT UNS DAS LUSTSPIEL NEULICH GELEHRT? Die arme deutsche Sprache! Wie wire! die in unsrem Lande jetzt verhunzt, gemartert und verachtet! Die alten Deutschen sterben aus, und die jungen vergessen ihre Muttersprache. In dem Sans und Braus dieses Jahrhunderts hat keiner Zeit, sich eine reine, e(lle un(】 wertvolle Sprache anzueignen. Solange man sich mit einer arnien notduerftigen Sammlung von tierartigen Naturlauten durchschlagen, seine Taschen voll Geldes und seinen Magen voll Zuckers und Weizenmehls halten kann, ist man zufrieden. So cin Kauderwelsch ist unsre amerikanische Sprache, eine Sammlung von bedeutungslosen Geschaeftsnamen, Warenbezeichnungen und Fachausdruecken! Kann da Kultur drin stecken ? Ein literarisches iiiid gclchrtes Englisch versteht unser Volk auch nicht mehr, noch garniclit ans Deutsche zu denken. Und warum versteht man's nicht? Weil die Meisten nicht wissen, was fuer Reichtum in einer alten Sprache steckt, was fuer Genusz man aus der deutschen Literatur schoepfen kann, und deswegen haben sie kein Gefallen daran.

Ein praktischer Bcweis (lafuer. All das Flehen, das Drohen, (las Schimpfen der Professoren scheint nichts an der Lage zu aendern. Die Studenten haben sich nun einmal eingebildet, sie haetten kein Sprachgefuehl und koennten deswegenn kein Deutsch K;rncn. Da lchen sie aber unter einem falschen Wahn. Sie denken, das Sprachgefuehl sei eine Erbschaft, und wenn der aelteste Sohn cs bekommen babe, so muesse der juengere sich ohne dasselbe zufriedengeben. Nicht so. Das Sprachgefuehl ist etwas angeeignetes，etwas angewoehntes. Man bekommt es nur dadurch, dasz man korrektes Deutsch liest, hoert und spricht, und sich so an die richtige Form gewoehnt, dasz es einen kalt ueberlaeuft, wenn jemand die Praeposition zu mit dem Akkusativ gebraucht. ^lan hoert nicht nur, dasz die Konstruktion falsch ist, man fuehlt es in alien Gliedern. Aber leicler kann man dieses Gefuehl nicht vom Ajjotheker kaufen; es kostet Arbeit und will, wie alles wert­ volle, verdient werden. Und doch ist es eine interessante Arbeit.

Wie viele Buecher werden nicht taeglich von den Studenten 辽elesen! Man liest, weil man sich an den Geschichten erfreut, und weil man mehr lernen und erfahren will. Aber warum denn immer Englisch lesen ? Die Deutschen haben auch wertvolles jjeschrieben, und viel interessantes. Unsre Bibliothek ist voll von solchen Werken. Man frage nur den Bibliothekar, er wuerde mit Freuden darueber Auskunft geben, welche Buecher man lesen sollte. Ja, irgendein Professor waere bereit, eine Liste von den interessantesten und wertvollsten Buechern aufzustellen. Wer aber fragt danach ? Keiner, weil man eben immer noch glaubt, das Deutsche sei zu schwierig.

Und doch ist in unsrer Mitte noch etwas Interesse fuer das Deutsche vorhanden. Neulich wurde in unsrer Turnhalle cin deutsches Lustspiel aufgefuehrt. Jeder war sehr aufmerksam und lachte laut auf, sooft ein Witz erzaehlt wurde. Fast jeclem hat das Lustspiel gefallen, auch denen, die tagtaeglich klagen : Ich kann kein Deutscli.” Daraus ergibt sich mehreres. Diese Bedauernswerten verstehen trotz alien Behauptungen doch etwas Deutsch, nur musz man es ihnen in angenehmer Form darbieten. Das sieht man in den oberen Klassen beim Studium der Philosophic. Weil die Studenten in dieser ihnen weniger gelaeufigen Sprache den gelehrten, tiefen Gedanken der Philosophen folgen mueszen, an welchen sie so wie so kein zu groszes Interesse finden, sincl sie der Sprache fast feindlich. Dann fragt man, warum ihnen die Sprache: nicht gelaeufig ist, und musz antworten, 'veil sie sich in den unteren Klassen, wo Einfaches gelesen und studiert wird, nicht genuegend mit der Sprache beschaeftigt haben. Und jetzt kommt noch cine zweite grosze Gefahr daz.u. Die oberen Klassen klagen ueber die Schwierigkeit der Sprache der Philosophen, und die juengeren, die es hoeren, neVnnen’s sofort auf und sagen: “Na, 'veiin clem so ist, dann will ich Heber keine Zeit darauf ver'venden.” Es ist war, dasz fuer einen, dem die Sprache etwas neues ist, und der noch mit ringen hat, ein tiefer Gedanke gar kein Gedanke ist. Kr ihr hoert und versteht nur Woerter, hoechstens Redewendungen. Des-» halb musz man (lurch leichtes Material sich beizeiten die Sprache aneignen, sodasz man spaet el­ auch an dem Sch'vierigen Gefallen einen Scliatz besitzt man, wenn man erst haben kann. Und wel ch eii der Sprache Meister geworden ist!

Durch das Auffuehren des Lustspiels haben vide Studenten einen Vorgeschmack von der Freude, die ein Kenner der Sprache empfindet, bekommen. Nun ist es Zeit, dieses blosze Schmecken zur Verwirklichung zu bringen, bis man den vollen Genusz erreicht.

Man sollte sich nun mil Ernst und Eifer cl ran machen, das neugewonnene Interesse auszunutzen, und zwar durch Lesen. Man wird finden, dasz sich von selbst neuer Mut und neue Begeisterung zeigt, sobald man sich einmal recht an die Sprache gemacht hat.

Um dieses zu foerdern koennte man auf unsrer Anstalt verschiedenes tun. Das Beispiel des Lustspiels hat uns schon ein Mittel angedeutet. Weil man in dieser Zeit, wo die Gemuetlichkeit das “Sunimum Bonum” geworden ist, alles Unangenehme von der widrig schmeckenden Medizin an bis zum kalten Grab uebertuencht, damit es angenehm erscheine, so koennte man auch die deutsche Sprache in angenehmer, leicht verdaulicher Form darbieten. VVarum sollte man nich unter unsren literarischen vereinen einen' deutschen Verein haben, in welchem deutsche Gedichte vorgetragen, deutsche Reden gehalten, und deutsche Lustspiele aufgefuehrt werden ? Man 291

koennte auch dieses Fruehjahr statt des englischen Dramas, oder auch neben ihm, ein deutsches einueben und auffuehren.

Das koennte der deutschen Sprache kaum schaedlich, dem Interesse am Deutschen gewisz nicht gefaehrlich sein; denn was dem Amerikaner angenehm, interessant und leicht gemacht wird, nimmt er an; aber was der Bauer nicht kennt, das wirft er eben auf den Misthaufen.

So machen es die meisten jungen Deutsch-Amerikaner heute. Sie gebrauchen ihre Muttersprache nicht genug, um zu wissen, dasz sie zu wertvoll ist, ohne weiteres bei Seite geworfen zu werden.

Und um diesen Schatz zu behalten, wird es hoechste Zeit, dasz man auf irgendeine Weise neues Interesse fuer das Studium der deutschen Sprache erweckt.

參它mitmrg Nutes Herr Reuter hat uns ploetzlich verlassen! Man rief aus der Gemeinde zu Two Rivers, Wisconsin, um Hilfe im Schul eh alten, da ciner der Lelirer dort sich ciner Operation unterziehen niusste.

Selbstverstaendlich lag es dann an unserem Paedagogen, Herrn Reuter，deni Rufe zu folgen. Dass Herr Reuter uns verliess, hatte aber unangenehme Folgen: denn shon am naechsten Tage kam beini Mittagessen die Frage vor: Wer sclireibt nun die “Seminary Notes”？ Die Wahl fiel fuer den neuen Schreiber nicht besonders guenstig aus; denn ihm wurcle die Arbeit fuer diese Nummer und (uer das gauze naechste Jahr aufgepackt. So trauert er jetzt ganz besonders darueber, dass Bruder Reuter uns verlassen hat, wenn es auch nur auf eine kleine Zeit ist.

“Feuer! Feuer!” So toente es auf einmal am Samstag nachmittag- durchs Gebaeude. Natuerlich flog alles ans Fenster, um das Feuer zu sehen. Und wirklicli, unterm Berge schossen gewaltigte Flammen in die Luft. Alles stuerzte hinaus, um unseren kleinen Wald zu retten. Bis wir aber hinkamen, wo es brannte, war alles vorbei. Unser Herr Behrens hatte naemlich bei Gelegenheit des starken Windes nur et'vas von dem alten langen Gras abgebrannt. Es wollte nun aber nich mehr brennen, denn es schneitc schon zu stark.

Ja, es hat hier auch ganz gehoerig geschneit. Das sail am Samstag Abend eine Zeitlang gefaehrlich aus: draussen tobte der Sturm und drinnen sass alles ini Dunkel oder bcim flackcrnden Talglicht. Da machten sich vier Studenten auf und boten dem Sturm trotzig die Stirne, inclem sie einen schoenen langen Spaziergang durch Wind und Wetter unternahmen. Sie verliessen das Ge­ baeude um hall) Acht Uhr und um Zwoelf waren sie wiecler hier.

Sie brachten auch genuegend Beweise mit, dass sie wenigstens zwoelf Meilen hinter sich hatten. Ausserdem erzaehlten sie allerlei interessante Erlebnisse，besonders wie sie ein Auto nach dem anderen aus dem Schnee geholfen hat ten.

Auch einige von unseren Studenten blieben im Schnee stecken.

Herr Meyer und Herr Franzmann kamen statt Sonntag Abend erst Montag hier an und blieben dann beinahe vor der Tuer noch einmal stecken. nachdem sie die halbe Nach in tiefem Schnee herumgefuhrwerkt batten. Die Herren Scharf, Schaefer, und Leskow trauten dem Wetter nicht unci Hessen ihre cars zuhause. Da haben sie g^arnicht iiebel dran getan. Guter Trost bei solchem Wetter ist, class es bald Ostern wird—und dann gibt’s wahrscheinlich noch mehr Schnee.

Es ist uns nun endlich einmal gelungen, die Watcrtowner im B.asketballspiel zu besiegen. Es war aber auch Zeit, class wir das l)laue Auge raechten, das wir seiner Zeit in Watertown erhielten.

Hcrrn Pless und Herm Rutz haben wir zum grossen Teil unseren Sieg zu verdanken.

Uebrigens, unser Herr Baumann ist immer noch nicht von den Wcilinachtsferien zurueckgekehrt. Wir haben jetzt aber Nachricht erhalten von ihm, class er dieses Jahr nicht mehr kommt. Herr Dobberstcin wohnt nun schon seit Weihnachten ganz alleine dort oIkmi in seiner Klause. Nun stoert ihn niemand in seinem Studium.

Wcnn er nur nicht Heimweh bekommt vor lauter Einsamkeit!

ALUNNI 一Sonic time ago the staff received a letter from the Reverend G. O. Krause, '22, of Stctsonville, Wisconsin, a staff member of former days. The Reverend Krause suggested to the staff that the yearly surplus moneys of the “Black and Red” be placed into a reserve fund for future use, as for example a special issue that will surely be put out in 1940, when Northwestern College will cele­ brate its seventy-fifth anniversary, if God so wills it. The staff was glad to receive the suggestion and has adopted the idea. It has already a reserve fund and will continue to place its profits, if so they may be called, into this fund. But the idea of the anni­ versary number for 1940 was new and welcome, and the staff felt encouraged to find the alumni taking such interest in the publica­ tion and its welfare. Items of interest, suggestions, and contribu­ tions as well as criticisms are always welcome, and the editor of this column would like to ask other alumni to contribute to its otherwise scanty notes. 一Another such letter was received from the Reverend C. F. Lcderer, ’00, of Conklin, Michigan, with a newspaper clipping. The clipping announced a lecture to be held at the University of Michi­ gan in Ann Arbor by Professor Martin Sprengling, Ph.D.，’94, now of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago. Pro­ fessor Sprengling is a member of the philosophical and archaeo­ logical societies in both America and Germany and is a well-known writer on subjects falling in his field. 一The Reverend Professor A. Pieper, 76, of Thiensville, was seen at Northwestern on Saturday, March 7.

294

一The Reverend A. Schultz, ’02, of Milwaukee, conducted a fu­ neral service in Watertown on March 10.

—The Reverend Philip Lehmann, *10, of Richwood, Wisconsin, has accepted a call to Ableman, Wisconsin.

—Stanford Bruns, ex. ’30, is working in Milwaukee at present in order to earn enough money to continue his studies at the uni­ versity.

—Tutor Walter Kleinke, ’24, preached at Jefferson for the Reverend O. Kuhlow，’99, whose health has kept him from his work for some time. 一Norman Rohde, coin. ’29，spent a week-end with his former classmates at Northwestern.

—Prof. W. Wichmann, ’30, of Rome, Wisconsin, payed his Alma Mater a visit recently. Prof. Wichmann says that one does not realize what work is until one leaves the school bench and stands before the class.

—Herbert Lemke, ’28，from the Seminary spent a week-end with his cousins at Northwestern. G. Redlin，’28, was also seen in the dormitory at that time. ―The Reverend Reuben Marti, '22, of Kohlsvillc, Wisconsin, has accepted a call to Sambul，Michigan.

—Dr. Ott,' '85, attended the meeting of the Modern Language Association at Chicago, March 14.

M AUDI：))

了he band opened its 1931 concert season by a trip to Milwaukee T Oil February 15. An afternoon concert was given in the A. 下.A. auditorium, which was also this year again filled, to capacity.

0 monotony, a clarinet duet, “Friendship” by J. Lafont, was played by Mr. Warnke and Mr. N. Ehlert; the college quartette 295

sang Parks’ “Crossing the Bar” which was received with such ap­ plause that two encores had to be granted.

On February 17 the Philomathean presented a program with Mr. Trapp as master of ceremonies and Prof. Kiessling as critic.

The first speech, “Labor and Dilectatio, was delivered by Edward Knoll and ranks among the best of this season. Not only was the speech interesting and well delivered, but from it we may also learn that we ought of our own accord appreciate and absorb some of the knowledge we have on our shelves; that is the only way to get real value out of education and books. Donald Schwarz thereupon played a piano solo, Rubinstein's “Kaniennoi Ostrow.” In a rather long1 but nevertheless interesting speech on bats, Victor Schultz told us of the peculiar habits of this queer little animal, supplying many interesting details from his own personal experience.

Whereas most girls are bent on gaining a man, Miss Koehn gave us some suggestions on "How to Lose a Man.” The conclud­ ing number of the program was a miniature minstrel show of unknown authorship (says Mr. Trapp!). Although a minstrel show * is not really instructive, it nevertheless affords an opportunity for a good laugli, which is also necessary from time to time for our well-being-.

The next literary program was given on February 20 by the Phi Gamma Rlio; Prof. Sitz acted as critic. Being so near Wash­ ington's birthday, the program, which had been arranged by Mr. Fischer, was devoted exclusively to George Washington. Wash­ ington’s birthplace is now being transformed into a beautiful na­ tional shrine by the Wakefield National Memorial Association, as Mr. Gieschen informed us. “Trippingjieasures，” a composition arranged for violin and piano, was played by the Herro sisters.

Most people have a highly idealized picture of Washington in a more unfavorable, but also more truthful light, than the one in which he is usually seen. So Mr. Hahm’s speech was in perfect accord with the present day tendency to dethrone idealized images and get at the real, true-to-life side of the man. While Mr. Kreie, on the other hand, did not exactly idealize Washington, but showed us spme of the more advantageous phases in Washington’s life and character. The concluding number of the program proper was a cornet duet played by J. Dahlke and W. Dobratz. “God Winks/* a comedy in one act, was presented by the Misses Lutovsky and Hallet and the Messrs. Froehlich and Schwerin. 'The theme of the comedy was in harmony with the rest of the program. Mr. Froehlich’s acting was outstanding.

The program presented on February 26 by the Philomathian had been arranged by Mr. H. Schultz; the critic for the evening was Professor Schumann. Mr. Schultz displayed his love for dra296

卜:

matics by arranging a program with a play as the predominating element. Mr. Peters played Chopin’s “Valse in C-sharp Minor” very well, but he refused to favor the audience with an encore Mr. Tiefel was the only speaker on the program. The theme of his speech, “A Banter on Early Rising,” was almost too trivial, con­ sidering that he was the only speaker on the program. The pi presented was an abridgment of Shakespeare’s “As You Like I The acting was good throughout, although Miss Bentzin deserves special mention. In this case the matter of scenery was left en­ tirely to the imagination of the audience.

On Friday evening, March 6, the Phi Gamma Rho program ar­ ranged by Mr. Warlike was presented; the critic for the evening was Prof. Kiessling. For the opening number the male chorus 。“The Trumpet Calls Away,” by Howard M. Dow. The boys sang favored the audience with “Maennergesang,” by Otto, as an encore.

The singing was well done. Mr. R. Siegler gave us “Glimpses out of the History of Northwestern College,” which was followed by a talk on “Baseball at Northwestern College,” by Mr. Biesmann. Both speeches were well delivered. Mr. Biesmann would have made a better impression if he had left his manuscript at home. It is ad­ visable to condense the material on cards. Miss Grace Meyer gave a reading. She picked as her subject “Those Love-Letters.” She seemed a bit nervous at first, but that wore off as she proceeded.

Mr. H. Siegler delivered a very interesting revicw of “Our Footbail History.” Mr. Siegler's speech was one of the most interesting speeches delivered this season. Mr. R. Weyland and Mr. D. Schwarz played the piano duet “Polonaire Militairc in A Major,”

by Chopin. This stately Polish dance which formed part of the cere­ monial with which ancient Polish kings were elected was well ex­ ecuted by the two pianists. The German Lustspicl “Einer muss heiraten” by Alexander Zechmeister, presented by the Misses Meyer and Paap and the Messrs. Heier and Dahlke, received well deserved applause. The parts were well played by the actors. It was a very interesting little play, full of that kind of humor which is bound to tickle the funny bone. Everybody enjoyed it. We ought to have more such plays. , Oil March 10, we received the treat of the season. The Welsh Imperial Singers sang for Every number was greeted with a generous applause. It was great to see how directorir Davies made every move count and how the chorus responded. The evening was without a doubt well spent.

And thus for the last time we turn our thoughts toward this Exchange. To our successor we wish pleasure and success in his task.

We should like to see more of our students interested in the Tuskegee Messenger of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. This publi­ cation, which styles itself “A Journal of Negro Progress and Inter­ racial Co-operation,M gives the thoughts of educated negroes on problems of the day. We have here the number of January 31.

Especially interesting is the article on lynch law. On page four we find the manifesto of twenty-nine southern educators on lynch­ ing. We quote a part.

“Lynciiing is more than a crime. It boldly thwarts the most elementary ends of justice, constitutes a complete denial of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship and represents anarchy in its most vicious and insolent form. It flagrantly strikes at the foundation of all organized social life and outrages every ideal of liberty.”

It is articles like this, many of them setting forth the progress of the negro in education and other fields, that make this journal interesting.

We enjoyed the February 20 number of the Capital Chimes.

First of all for an editorial headed “Be Original.” The author be­ wails the lack of originality among students in things worth while and their tendency to copy any original idea which crops up on any campus. Why should students designate any little organiza298

tion on their campus with a Greek name ? Why not be original, the author pleads.

Below this editorial we find a column called “Thinking It Over.” But this must be read to be fully appreciated. In the col­ umn “Degressions” we call attention to the complaint of the male Oxford student against the co-ed.

From the Milton College Review of February 27 we quote part of an editorial on courtesy.

“There is such a thing as courtesy to a speaker or entertainer, and college students ought to realize this if anyone should. We forgive small children for their occasional noise and remarks at inappropriate times, but it seems a bit too much when students have their morning tete-a-tete in Chapel. We can hardly expect folks to forgive us.

“The college might buy some toys and blocks, and organize a kindergarten department up in front. A surprising number of us might be eligible for enrollment.”

Rather outspoken and sarcastic, isn’t it, but just the thing that’s needed in such a situation. Now how about our audience at literary programs? It seems that we also could “organize a kindergarten department up in front.” In the words of the concluding sentence of the editorial “Let’s show a little more courtesy to the speakers and entertainers who appear on our programs.”

/TDkfTPCS Northwestern 36; Lake Forest 29 Watertown, Feb. 13.一Northwestern revenged the defeat suf­ fered from the Gold Coasters at Lake Forest a few weeks ago by scoring1 a 36-29 victory over them on the home court. Although the Lake Forest cagers displayed snappy teamwork, they labored under an obvious handicap; they lacked a leader on the offense.

The services of Ferzacca, flashy forward, who was the mainspring on offense in the earlier tilt, were greatly missed, for Ferzacca became ineligible by graduation in February. The Black and Red warriors rose quickly to take advantage of the flaw in the Lake Forest cage machine. The laudable work of Raasch and Stuhr exhibited in covering their men on defense combined with the bril­ liant floor work of Harke and Martin enabled Northwestern to keep pace with Lake Forest quintet and eventually to emerge victorious over it. The Black and Red cagers were primed for a hard struggle and displayed a teamwork far superior to that exhibited in any of the previous contests.

The first tally was chalked up for Lake Forest by Kunz, center, shortly after the tip-off. Zimpelmann registered for Northwestern a few minutes later. Hereupon Lake Forest assumed a small lead, which it held till the half. At this time the margin had been whittled down to 17-16 with Lake Forest holding the one-point ad­ vantage.

The second period was marked by hard fighting and scrappy 300

.

playing on both sides. The score fluctuated from .one side to the other until a few minutes before the finish. At this juncture North­ western mustered every calorie of available energy in a desperately wild spurt, broke through the Gold Coasters’ wall for several rinngers and pushed into the front to victory—the most brilliant of the season.

Harke, who played his best game to date, stood high in the scoring list with 14 points. Martin followed with 9. Criddle and Katzemaier headed the visitors with 11 and 9 points respectively.

3 Stulir, Ig____ 2 3 1 Concordia 31; Northwestern 24 Milwaukee, Feb. 20.—In a hotly contested game Northwestern fell victim to Concordia, 31-24. The Northwestern quintet, which but five days before, in the Lake Forest game, had given proof of the game which it is capable of playing, if all personal prominence, all vainglorious desire for honor, all personal grievances among1 the individual members are subordinated to the efficiency of the team as a whole, showed a vestige of this true mettle for a half against a team far inferior to Lake Forest and then went to pieces.

The first half was a nip and tuck contest, being played on about even terms. Northwestern enjoyed a small lead in the first part of the game, hut when the half drew around, the Concordians, !)y virtue of a stubborn resistance, had bridged the gap and prom­ ised to make things interesting for the Black and Red hoopers the second half. The score at the half favored Northwestern, 16-15.

The second period started with a bang. The swift pace that was set, however, soon began to tell on the Northwestern defense, which lacked endurance and began to sag. The Concordians, spurred to a state of frenzy by spectators who declared their parti­ sanship \yithout scruples, took advantage of the lull in the North­ western line. They filtered through for several pot shots; whipped several baskets through the net from deep center of the floor; and by the time the game was concluded, had piled up a comfortable winning margin.

Mau, the rangy Concordia center and outstanding man of the amassed 13 points. Martin led the Northwestern basketeers with 8 points. Raasch came next with 3 field goals and a charity 301

shot. Stuhr and Habitz had to be removed from the game on fouls.

North­ western, the first to find the loop, sank several baskets before the Normalites began pulling up. After the Teachers had hit their stride, however, they kept the score progressing rapidly by sink­ ing pot sliots and overhead shots from difficult positions and angles of the floor. Northwestern's defense wilted before the strong oppo­ sition that it encountered, and was, consequently, found on the short end of the score at the half, 21-14.

In the second half Northwestern took a brace. The scoring machine was brought under way, and in short order the score was advanced to within 4 points of knotting the count. The Purple and White defense, however, refused to give. The Normalites were able to hold the upper hand till the finish. The bang of the gun Jit the conclusion of the tilt found the ball in the air en route to the loop for two points. The spectacular shot was sent o汗 by Armin Schultz, who was substituting in the last minute of play for Northwestern.

Schuett, center, and Sturtevant, guard, figured prominently in this win for the Teachers. Schuett garnered 12 points for the Peels. Harke and Raasch were high-men for Northwestern with S and 7 points respectively.

tilt of the 1930-1931 season to the Seminary quintet of Thiensville.

The Seminarians, who were out to avenge the defeat suffered earl­ ier in the season on the Northwestern court, performed in veteran style. They presented a powerful offense in PI ess, Rutz, and Hoenecke which, because of its persistency and steadiness, proved highly effective in penetrating the Northwestern wall.

The first few minutes of the tilt were spent by the opponents in feeling one another out till Hoenecke dropped in the first 2 points for the Seminary. The Seminarians herewith stepped into the lead, which they were able to hold the entire game. The Sem­ inary defense proved impregnable to the Northwestern attack, for but one field goal was scored by the Black and Red warriors the entire first period. Northwestern’s count of 7 at the half was run up chiefly on free throws. The Seminary held the advantage at the half by 2 points.

In the second period Northwestern’s defense crumbled and allowed the Seminary scoring machine to sweep through time and again for markers. Pless was the ace of the attack. His unfailing eye for the hoop netted him 6 field goals. Capt. Raasch covered himself with glory in the last game of his basketball career at Northwestern by plugging the net with a barrage of 5 field goals and 4 free tosses. Armin Schultz and Krueger showed up well during the time that they saw action.

This game marks the passing of three men from the annals of Northwestern^ basketball history; Capt. Raasch, Krueger, and Heyn donned Black and Red uniforms for the last time as repre­ sentatives of Northwestern’s athletic talent.

The editor of this column wishes to take this opportunity to compliment the Seminary students on the fine competitive spirit they showed in the game, and to thank them for all hospitality they offered the Northwestern students after the game. Many thanks.

Now what’s up? Maas really was not in the sickroom for a whole week. Others, however, have been going and coming, The reason for all these slight colds, sore throats, and mumps undoubt­ edly was the damp weather we had for a while. Maybe this snowstorm cleared the air of all those pesky germs.

“Wally” Dobratz, besides being the “Weltbuerger” correspond­ ent, has his troubles with the door leading into his room. One of the hinges is weak. He has a sign on both sides of the door, warn­ ing visitors to be careful. Hoepner has finally learned the trick of going in and out without slamming it. Geiger, it seems, will never learn.

Knoll deserves honorable mention. He had a local for this column this time. It is the first time this happened since his Quarta year. He informed us that he made a week-end trip to Madison to see George Rowe. He deplores the fact that he could not meet all the students during his stay.

Moser and Raabe were really the only ones who appreciated the snowstorm. They were snowlDound at Iron Ridge. Snowbound?!

The juniors staged a charity basketball game the other day.

They appeared on the floor in many colored pajamas. A chinanian would have been thrilled to see them. In that game Kaschinske had the misfortune of breaking his nose in two places when Freitag ran into him. He’s little, but oh, my!

The sophomores had the pleasure of carrying up the big stage and the juniors enjoyed themselves setting it up for the Welsh singers. They worked until twelve thirty a. m. It’s a thrill that comes once in a lifetime.

Liesner and Toppe won the pinochle tournament of the Vesu­ vius Club. Al. Schewe received a hickory pipe as booby prize.

Both the Seminary and the Concordia game were well attended Ijy students from Northwestern, who under the leadership of “Bintried tlieir best to pep lip the team. Yes, even Sippert went.

Not so much to see the game as to enter into a discussion with “Pat” Kuehl.

And “Hansie” Martin is basketball Captain for next year.

Good luck, “Hans.”

Three boys tried their luck at fasting. One came back to the dining hall after two days. The other two stuck it out five days without a bite to eat. ^What fools these mortals be!’’

The preparatory department is now putting out a prep paper.

The prep locals were a bit scarce this time. They were all reserved.

That's the way, boys. Get right after it.

Oh, yes, this is the senior number and with it expires my term as local editor. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the students for the splendid support they ,gave this column in the past year. May they keep up that good spi>irit!

—SENIORS— Warnkc and Krueger have suddenly become town-students.

They rented an apartment on Eighth and Clyman.

“Andy” Froehlich had an operation performed on his nose last Saturday, March 7. He was able to go to classes Monday.

Saturday, March 7, was an important day for Hans Schultz.

It was the first Saturday night he was in since his freshman year.

The seniors are a singing class. Each one has his favorite little song. Here they go: Baumann—“Ich weiss nicht was soil es bedeuten.”

Dahlke—“Why Did I Kiss That Girl?”

Engel—“Es war in 1807.”

Froehlich—“Moonbeam，Kiss Her For Me.” Fischer—“S'veet Mystery of Life.”

Heyn—“Oh，You Pretty Apple Blossom.”

Krueger—^When the Organ Played at Twilight.”

Naumann一“Du, du liegst mir im Herzen.”

Peters一“Among My Souvenirs.”

Raasch—“It，s Three O’clock in the Morning.”

Rossin—“How Can I Leave Thee?”

Schewe—“Drifting and Dreaming.”

Schultz, V.—“Gaudeanujs Igfitur.’’

Schultz, H.—“When the Moon Shines Down Upon the Moun­ tain/* 306

Schwerin―*‘I Love You So Much.”

Siegler—“I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles.”

Sippert―*Tiptoe Through the Tulips.”

Trapp—“When Your Hair Has Turned to Silver.”

Vertz—“Down the River of Golden Dreams.”

Warnke—“I Wonder How I Look When I’m Asleep.”

Helene Naumann was taken to the hospital for an emergency appendicitis operation February 28. We are glad to report she got along so well that she was taken home March 10.

Appendicitis is not supposed to be “catching，” yet Gertrude Wendland had a slight attack and was forced to rest for a few days.

Gertrude Koehn and Lillian Trapp have been staying with Louetta Schroeter the past few days.

The girls have been lamenting the fact that the big stage is to remain up for the rest of the year, because they will not be able to play basketball any longer.

Elaine Schimmel, ex. ’33, visited the Co-eds last week-end.

The Co-eds were pleased with <4Einer musz heiraten，” and many expressed the wish that more German plays should be given.

One of the Co-eds found a gold pencil. If anyone owns it, he may get it by asking Eugenia Meyer for it.

Lillian Lutovsky went to Chicago over the week-end and was not able to return for Monday’s recitations. She was “snow-bound.”

Gertrude Naumann, has a part in “Here Comes Patricia,” a play to be given by the St. John’s Walther League.

Woe to our Senior Class. Almost daily the professors find it necessary to give them their candid opinion. Make it all-day suck­ ers or caramels, please!

A great lecture was given in the gymnasium.

I am afraid, my friend, that you are not listening,” said the lecturer, pointing angrily at the young man in overalls, who was yawning in a front seat.

“I’m not a friend of yours,” retorted Naumann, “and I’m not here to listen, either. I’m waiting to put out the lights and lock up. 本

本

Engineer: “Say, what in all the—(crash—bang—brrr)―do you mean by flagging the Limited ?!!”

“Big Shot” (suddenly shrinking into timid little Willie) : “Why 一sir—I should like to borrow a wrench. I must change a tire.”

Toot! Toot! Out of the way!

We’ve Got Your Number Prof.: <4Wer ist denn abwesend V* Dahlke: **Siegler, er ist erkrankt.”

Prof.: “Wird er denn der Nachmittagsstunde beiwohnen?

308

3 Prof.: “Sippert，I don’t see why I should see so much of your feet.”

Sippert (who had his legs lying the length of the seat) : “I’m saving soles, professor.”

All his life Andy has suffered with sore feet. And again： all his life Andy has suffered with a craving for knowledge; the knowl­ edge pertaining to the solution of his troubles. And, finally, he has been able to trace the cause back to the nationality of his par­ ents. They were both “Cornish.”

But, sh— don’t tell him! * * * Sullenly Warlike staggered to town the other day to get some cough medicine. He returned, however, with a more pleasing dis­ position-—until he found that the doctor was a fraud. The doctor had charged him a dollar for some medicine and then fixed it so that Warnke couldn’t take it. He had written on the label, “Keep this bottle tightly corked.” 氺氺本 From Miss Bentzin’s Diary: “My studies were so very selfish on this day; they took up all my spare time.”

A Professor’s Comments To the Class: “It’s remarkable how little you ncccl to exert yourselves to say something extremely foolish.”

“Heyn, it seems to me that you are proud of the fact that you escaped learning so much German.”

“H. Schultz, now please don’t die in your own conceit.”

“Vertz，that’s unusually polite to yawn without placing your hand over your mouth.” * * Raasch was called on to read in English class. After he had scratched his head and found his place, he began to read very stumblingly, when Krueger suddenly popped lip: “Say，will you please shift into high?” 本

Extra! Accident Caused By Speed!

Judge: **We shall now hear from the criminal. Mr. Speed, how did the said accident happen?”

Speed: “Sir, as I passed along the beach drive, I dimmed the lights and hugged the curb—” Judge: *'As I thought! Court is dismissed.”

309

anlt

孑: Prof.: “If you want to find out the etymology of a word, 'vliicli is the very first step to take, Trapp?”

Trapp: “Do you mean that we should step into the Library and buy a Skcat?” 本** Prof.: “Just for practice in composition work, you will write about a day’s experience at school!’’

Miss Bentzin: “Pardon me, but is it essential that we write about the evening, too?”
